This prospectus describes information you should know before you purchase a Transamerica Variable Annuity Series variable annuity. The prospectus describes a contract between each owner and joint owner (“you”) and Transamerica Life Insurance Company or Transamerica Financial Life Insurance Company (“us,” “we,” “our” or “Company”). This is an individual, deferred, flexible premium variable annuity. This variable annuity allows you to allocate your premium payments among the fixed account (if available) and the underlying fund portfolios.
This prospectus also refers to the following share classes: B-Share, C-Share, L-Share and X-Share. A share class will be selected on your application and identified in your policy.
This prospectus and the underlying fund prospectuses give you important information about the policies and the underlying fund portfolios. Please read them carefully before you invest and keep them for future reference. You can also contact us to get a Statement of Additional Information (SAI) free of charge. The SAI contains more information about this policy. A registration statement, including the SAI, has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the SAI is incorporated herein by reference. The prospectus and SAI can also be obtained from the SEC's website (www.sec.gov). The table of contents of the SAI is included at the end of this prospectus. The Securities and Exchange Commission has not approved or disapproved these securities, or passed upon the adequacy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
If you elect the X-Share, we will add a credit to your policy value for each premium payment that you make. Generally, an annuity with a premium enhancement will have higher overall expenses than a similar annuity without a premium enhancement; the amount credited under the premium enhancement may be more than offset by the additional fees and charges associated with the premium enhancement. You should always consider the expenses along with the features and enhancements to be sure that any annuity meets your financial needs and goals.
This variable annuity may not be suitable for everyone. This variable annuity may not be appropriate for people who do not have a long investment time horizon and is not appropriate for people who intend to engage in market timing. You will get no additional tax advantage from this variable annuity if you are investing in a variable annuity through a tax-advantaged retirement plan (such as a 401(k) plan or Individual Retirement Account (“IRA”)). This prospectus is not intended to provide tax, accounting or legal advice.
We are not an investment adviser nor are we registered as such with the SEC or any state securities regulatory authority. We are not acting in any fiduciary capacity with respect to your policy nor are we acting in any capacity on behalf of any tax-advantaged retirement plan. This information does not constitute personalized investment advice or financial planning advice.

Notes to Fee Table and Expense Examples
Owner Transaction Expenses:
Maximum Surrender Charge: The surrender charge, if any is imposed, applies to each premium payment, regardless of how policy value is allocated among the investment options. The surrender charge decreases based on the number of years since the premium payment was made.
Transfer Fee:  The transfer fee, if any is imposed, applies to each policy, regardless of how policy value is allocated among the investment options. There is no fee for the first 12 transfers per policy year. For additional transfers, we may charge a fee of $10 per transfer.
Special Service Fees: We may deduct a charge for special services, including overnight delivery; duplicate policies; non-sufficient checks on new business; duplicate Form 1099 and Form 5498 tax forms; duplicate disclosure documents and semi-annual reports; check copies; printing and mailing previously submitted forms; and asset verification requests from mortgage companies. We may charge a fee for each service performed. In addition, we may consider as special services customer initiated changes, modifications and transactions which are submitted in such a manner as to require us to incur additional processing costs.
Annual Service Charge:
The maximum annual service charge is $50 per policy. In no event will the service charge exceed 2% of the policy value or the maximum amount.
Criteria for Potential Waiver   Potential Waiver Amount*
Policy Value or sum of all premium payments less all withdrawals:    
$50,000 thru $249,999.99   up to $35
$250,000 or more   up to $50
Participation in e-delivery program   up to $15
* In no event will we waive in the aggregate more than the actual annual service charge for any policy year.
Separate Account Annual Expenses:
Mortality and Expense Risk Fee: The mortality and expense risk fee shown is for the accumulation phase with the base death benefit. During the income phase, the mortality and expense risk fee is at an annual rate of 1.25%.
Optional Separate Account Expenses: Any optional separate account expense is in addition to the mortality and expense risk and administrative fees. 
Fund Facilitation Fee: This daily fee is applied only to policy value in the subaccounts invested in:
Fund   Annualized
Fee %
American Funds - Asset Allocation Fund - Class 2; American Funds - Bond Fund - Class 2; American Funds - Growth Fund - Class 2; American Funds Growth-Income Fund - Class 2; American Funds International Fund - Class 2   0.30%
AllianceBernstein Balanced Wealth Strategy Portfolio - Class B; GE Investments Total Return Fund - Class 2   0.20%
We charge a fund facilitation fee in order to make certain subaccounts available as investment choices under the policies. We apply the fee to subaccounts that invest in underlying funds that do not provide us with the amount of revenue we require in order for us to meet our expenses and revenue targets. This fee is assessed daily based on the net asset value of subaccounts that we specify.
Liquidity Rider: This fee is only charged for the first four policy years.
Total Separate Account Annual Expenses with Highest Optional Separate Account Expenses: This reflects the base separate account expenses, the Annual Step-Up Death Benefit fee, the Fund Facilitation fee, and Liquidity Rider (for the B-Share only), but does not include any Optional Rider Charges. The death benefits are mutually exclusive.

OPTIONAL RIDERS
In some cases, riders to the policy are available that provide optional benefits. There are additional fees (annualized fee charged on a yearly or quarterly basis, depending on the rider) for those riders.
Optional Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefits:
Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider - Total Withdrawal Base: We use the total withdrawal base to calculate the maximum annual withdrawal amount. The total withdrawal base on the rider date is the policy value (if X-Share is elected, less any premium enhancement if the rider is added in the first policy year).
Retirement Income Max® Rider and Retirement Income Choice® 1.6 Rider - Withdrawal Base: We use the withdrawal base to calculate the rider withdrawal amount. The withdrawal base on the rider date is the policy value (if the X-Share is elected, less any premium enhancement if the rider is added in the first policy year). For riders issued prior to May 1, 2014, fee information can be found in the “Appendix - Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit Comparison Table”.
Optional Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit Riders - No Longer Available
Income LinkSM Rider - Withdrawal Base: We use the withdrawal base to calculate the rider withdrawal amount. The withdrawal base on the rider date is the policy value (if the X-Share is elected, less any premium enhancement if the rider is added in the first policy year).
Total Portfolio Annual Operating Expenses:

THE ANNUITY
This prospectus describes information you should know before you purchase the Transamerica Variable Annuity Series.
An annuity is a contract between you, the owner, and an insurance company (in this case us), where the insurance company promises to pay you an income in the form of annuity payments. These payments begin on a designated date, referred to as the annuity commencement date. Until the annuity commencement date, your annuity is in the accumulation phase and the earnings (if any) are generally tax deferred. Tax deferral means you are not taxed until you take money out of your annuity. After you annuitize, your annuity switches to the income phase.
The policy is a “deferred” annuity. You can use the policy to accumulate funds for retirement or other long-term financial planning purposes. Your individual investment and your rights are determined primarily by your own policy.
The policy is a “flexible premium” annuity because after you purchase it, you can generally make additional premium payments of at least $50 (but not more than the stated maximum total premium payment amount) until the annuity commencement date. You are not required to make any additional premium payments.
The policy is a “variable” annuity because the value of your policy can go up or down based on the performance of your subaccounts. If you invest in the separate account, the amount of money you are able to accumulate in your policy during the accumulation phase depends upon the performance of your subaccounts. You could lose the amount you allocate to the separate account. The amount of annuity payments you receive from the separate account also depends upon the investment performance of your subaccounts for the income phase.
The fixed account may, but is not guaranteed to always, be offered. If the fixed account is offered it will offer interest at a rate(s) that we guarantee will not decrease during the selected guaranteed period. There may be different interest rates for each different guaranteed period that we may offer and that you select.
Do not purchase this policy if you plan to use it, or any of its riders, for resale, speculation, arbitrage, viatication, or any other type of collective investment scheme. Your policy is not intended or designed to be traded on any stock exchange or secondary market. By purchasing this policy, you represent and warrant that you are not using the policy, or any of its riders for resale, speculation, arbitrage, viatication, or any other type of collective investment scheme.
PURCHASE
Policy Issue Requirements
We will not issue a policy unless:
we receive in good order (See OTHER INFORMATION - Sending Forms and Transaction Requests in Good Order) all information needed to issue the policy;
we receive in good order (at our Administrative Office) a minimum initial premium (including anticipated premiums from 1035 exchanges on nonqualified policies and transfers or rollovers on qualified policies as indicated on your application or electronic order form) payment; and
the annuitant, owner, and any joint owner are age 89 or younger (the limit may be lower for qualified policies).
Please note, certain riders described herein may require a younger age. Please carefully read the applicable rider sections regarding any age limitations.
We reserve the right to reject any application.
Premium Payments
General. You should make checks for premium payments payable to Transamerica Life Insurance Company or Transamerica Financial Life Insurance Company, as applicable, and send them to the Administrative Office. Your check must be honored in order for us to pay any associated annuity payments and benefits due under the policy.
We do not accept cash. We reserve the right to not accept third party checks. A third party check is a check that is made payable to one person who endorses it and offers it as payment to a second person. Checks should normally be payable to us, however, in some circumstances, at our discretion we may accept third party checks that are from a rollover or transfer from other financial institutions. Any third party checks not accepted by us will be returned.
We reserve the right to reject or accept any form of payment. Any unacceptable forms of payment will be returned.
7

Initial Premium Requirements. The initial premium payment for nonqualified policies must be at least $5,000 (including anticipated premiums from 1035 exchanges as indicated on your application or electronic order form), and at least $1,000 for qualified policies (including anticipated premiums from transfers or rollovers as indicated on your application or electronic order form). You must obtain our prior approval to purchase a policy with an amount in excess of our maximum premium amount.
Your initial premium payment may not be credited to your policy on the day that you leave your premium payment with your financial intermediary. Your financial intermediary may take up to seven market days to assess whether buying this policy is suitable for you. Your financial intermediary may send us your initial premium payment while they complete this assessment. Your financial intermediary must also ensure that we have all the information needed for us to process your policy. We will not begin to process your policy during this period.
We will first begin our review only once we receive both your initial premium payment and your application (or an electronic order form). We will credit your initial premium payment to your policy within two market days after the market day that we receive your initial premium payment, your application (or order form) and once we determine that your policy information is both complete and in good order. This time period is in addition to the time your financial intermediary may take to complete their part of the process. If we are unable to complete our part of the process within five market days after the market day that we receive your initial premium payment and your application (or electronic order form), then we will notify you or your financial intermediary, if applicable, and explain why we can't process your policy. We will also return your initial premium payment at that time unless you consent to us holding the premium up to 30 days and credit it within two market days after your information is both complete and in good order. If your information is not received in good order within 30 days of your consent to hold the premium, then it will be returned to you.
Neither we nor your financial intermediary are responsible for lost investment opportunities while we each complete our review processes. Any initial premium payments received by us will be held in our general account until credited to your policy. You will not earn interest on your initial premium payment during these review periods.
The date on which we credit your initial premium payment to your policy is generally the policy date. The policy date is used to determine policy years, policy quarters, policy months and policy anniversaries.
Additional Premium Payments. You are not required to make any additional premium payments. However, you can generally make additional premium payments during the accumulation phase. Additional premium payments must be at least $50. After the first policy year, additional premium payments each policy year cannot, in the aggregate, without our prior approval exceed $25,000 for nonqualified policies and the lesser of (1) the IRS maximum contribution limit or (2) $60,000 for qualified policies. We reserve the right to refuse any additional premium payment in excess of these limits, and if you do not obtain prior approval for premiums in excess of the dollar amounts listed above, the business will be deemed not in good order. We will credit additional premium payments to your policy as of the market day we receive your premium and required information in good order at our Administrative Office. Additional premium payments must be received before the close of the New York Stock Exchange (usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) to get same-day pricing of the additional premium payment.
Maximum Total Premium Payments. For issue ages 0-80, we reserve the right to require prior approval of any cumulative premium payments over $1,000,000 (this includes subsequent premium payments) for policies with the same owner or same annuitant issued by us or an affiliate. For issue ages over 80, we reserve the right to require prior approval of any cumulative premium payments over $500,000 (this includes subsequent premium payments) for policies with the same owner or same annuitant issued by us or an affiliate. If you do not obtain prior approval for premium payments in excess of the dollar amounts listed above, the business will be deemed not in good order.
Allocation of Premium Payments. When you purchase a policy, we will allocate your premium payment to the investment choices you select. Your allocation must be in whole percentages and must total 100%. We will allocate additional premium payments the same way, unless you request a different allocation. You could lose the amount you allocate to the variable subaccounts.
If you allocate premium payments to the Dollar Cost Averaging program (if it is available), you must give us instructions regarding the subaccount(s) to which transfers are to be made or we cannot accept your premium payment.
You may change allocations for future additional premium payments by sending written instructions to our Administrative Office, or by telephone, or other electronic means acceptable to us, subject to the limitations described in ADDITIONAL FEATURES - Telephone and Electronic Transactions, or any other means acceptable to us. The allocation change will apply to premium payments received on or after the date we receive the change request in good order.
We reserve the right to restrict or refuse any premium payment.

Policy Value
You should expect your policy value to change from valuation period to valuation period. A valuation period begins at the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange on each market day and ends at the close of trading on the next succeeding market day. A market day is each day that the New York Stock Exchange is open for business. The New York Stock Exchange usually closes at 4:00 p.m., Eastern time. Holidays are generally not market days.
Premium Enhancement (X-Share). If you elect the X-Share, an amount equal to the applicable premium enhancement percentage (as set forth below) of the premium payment will be added to the policy value. The amount of the premium enhancement is not considered a premium payment and therefore may not be included in the calculation of certain policy features (such as certain death benefits or living benefits) or in the calculation of fees and charges that are based on premium payments made. The premium enhancement percentage may vary from premium to premium on subsequent premium payments, but will never be less than 0.25% nor more than 7.0%. A confirmation will be sent advising the owner of the amount of premium enhancement applicable to each subsequent premium payment. No premium enhancement will apply if the policy is canceled pursuant to the right to cancel provision.
The premium enhancement percentage is determined by the annuitant's age at the time of each premium payment. The percentage will decrease as the annuitant's attained age increases. The following schedule shows the current premium enhancement percentages:
Annuitant's Age   Premium Enhancement Percentage
0-59   5.5%
60-69   5.0%
70-79   4.0%
80+   2.0%
The current premium enhancement percentages are not guaranteed and, as noted above, may change to as little as 0.25%.
Generally, an annuity with a premium enhancement may have higher expenses than a similar annuity without a premium enhancement. Accordingly, you should always consider the expenses along with the features and enhancements to be sure any annuity meets your financial needs and goals.
There is no specific charge for the premium enhancement. We expect to use a portion of the mortality and expense risk fee, administrative charge and/or the surrender charge to pay the premium enhancement.
Once we have received all necessary regulatory approvals (but not before), we may take back or “recapture” the full dollar amount of any premium enhancement upon the occurrence of any of the following events: (1) exercise of the right to cancel option; (2) exercise of the Nursing Care and Terminal Condition Withdrawal Option or the Unemployment Waiver within one year from the time we apply the premium enhancement; (3) a death benefit is payable within one year from the time we apply the premium enhancement; or (4) annuitization within one year from the time we apply the premium enhancement. In certain circumstances, you might be worse off because of the premium enhancement. This could happen if we recapture the dollar amount of the premium enhancement and the overall investment performance of your policy was negative (if the overall investment performance of your policy was positive you would be better off). Please note, we will begin recapturing as soon as we receive all necessary approvals and will not provide advance notice.
The Internal Revenue Code generally requires that interests in a qualified policy be non-forfeitable, and it is unclear whether the premium enhancement feature is consistent with those requirements. Consult a tax adviser before purchasing the X-Share as a qualified policy.
The premium enhancement may vary for certain policies and may not be available for all policies.
INVESTMENT OPTIONS
This policy offers you a means of investing in various underlying fund portfolios offered by different investment companies (by investing in the corresponding subaccounts). The companies that provide investment advice and administrative services for the underlying fund portfolios offered through this policy are listed in the “Appendix - Underlying Fund Portfolios Associated with the Subaccounts.”
The general public may not purchase shares of any of these underlying fund portfolios. The names and investment objectives and policies may be similar to other portfolios managed by the same investment adviser or manager that are sold directly to the public. You should not expect the investment results of the underlying fund portfolios to be the same as those of other portfolios.
9

More detailed information, including an explanation of the portfolios' fees and investment objectives, may be found in the current prospectuses for the underlying fund portfolios, which accompany this prospectus. You should read the prospectuses for the underlying fund portfolios carefully before you invest.
Note: If you received a summary prospectus for any of the portfolios listed in “Appendix - Portfolios Associated with the Subaccounts”, please follow the instructions on the first page of the summary prospectus to obtain a copy of the full fund prospectus or its statement of additional information.
Selection of Underlying Fund Portfolios
The underlying fund portfolios offered through this variable annuity are selected by us, and we may consider various factors, including, but not limited to, asset class coverage, the strength of the adviser's or sub-adviser's reputation and tenure, brand recognition, performance, volatility, hedgeability, and the capability and qualification of each investment firm. Another factor that we may consider is whether the underlying fund portfolio or its service providers (e.g., the investment adviser or sub-advisers) or its affiliates will make payments to us or our affiliates. For additional information about these arrangements, see EXPENSES - Revenue We Receive. We review the portfolios periodically and may remove a portfolio, or limit its availability to new premium payments and/or transfers of cash value if we determine that a portfolio no longer satisfies one or more of the selection criteria, and/or if the portfolio has not attracted significant allocations from owners. We have included the Transamerica Series Trust (“TST”) underlying fund portfolios at least in part because they are managed by one of our affiliates, Transamerica Asset Management, Inc. (“TAM”).
We have developed this variable annuity in cooperation with one or more distributors, and may include certain underlying fund portfolios based on their recommendations. Their selection criteria may differ from our selection criteria.
You are responsible for choosing the subaccounts which invest in the underlying fund portfolios, and the amounts allocated to each, that are appropriate for your own individual circumstances and your investment goals, financial situation, and risk tolerance. Because investment risk is borne by you, decisions regarding investment allocations should be carefully considered. We do not recommend or endorse any particular underlying fund portfolio and we do not provide investment advice.
In making your investment selections, we encourage you to thoroughly investigate all of the information regarding the underlying fund portfolios that are available to you, including each underlying fund portfolio's prospectus, statement of additional information and annual and semi-annual reports. Other sources such as the fund's website provide more current information, including information about any regulatory actions or investigations relating to a fund or underlying fund portfolio. After you select underlying fund portfolios for your initial premium payment, you should monitor and periodically re-evaluate your allocations to determine if they are still appropriate.
You bear the risk of any decline in the cash value of your policy resulting from the performance of the underlying fund portfolios you have chosen.
We do not guarantee that any of the subaccounts will always be available for premium payments, allocations, or transfers. We will not add, delete or substitute any underlying fund portfolio shares attributable to your interest in a subaccount without notice to you and prior approval of the SEC, to the extent required by the 1940 Act or other applicable law.
We reserve the right to limit the number of subaccounts you are invested in at any one time.
If you elect certain optional riders, you will be subject to investment restrictions. In the future, we may change the investment restrictions.
Not all subaccounts may be available for all policies.
Addition, Deletion, or Substitution of Investment Options
We cannot and do not guarantee that any of the subaccounts will always be available for premium payments, allocations, or transfers. We retain the right, subject to any applicable law, to make certain changes to the separate account and its investment options. We reserve the right to add new portfolios (or portfolio classes) or close existing portfolios (or portfolio classes). We also reserve the right to eliminate the shares of any portfolio held by a subaccount and to substitute shares of another portfolio of the underlying fund portfolios, or of another registered open-end management investment company for the shares of any portfolio, if the shares of the portfolio are no longer available for investment or if, in our judgment, investment in any portfolio would be inappropriate in view of the purposes of the separate account. To the extent required by the 1940 Act, as amended, substitutions of shares attributable to your interest in a subaccount will not be made without prior notice to you and the prior approval of the SEC. Nothing contained herein shall prevent the separate account from purchasing other securities for other series or classes of variable annuity policies, or from affecting an exchange between series or classes of variable annuity policies on the basis of your requests.
10

New subaccounts may be established when, in our sole discretion, marketing, tax, investment or other conditions warrant. Any new subaccounts may be made available to existing owners on a basis to be determined by us. Each additional subaccount will purchase shares in an underlying fund portfolio, or other investment vehicle. We may also close or liquidate one or more subaccounts if, in our sole discretion, marketing, tax, investment or other conditions warrant such change. In the event any subaccount is closed or liquidated, we will notify you and request a reallocation of the amounts invested in the closed or liquidated subaccount. If we do not receive additional instructions, any subsequent premium payments, or transfers (including Dollar Cost Averaging transactions or asset rebalance programs transactions) into a closed subaccount will be re-allocated to the remaining available investment options according to the investment allocation instructions you previously provided. If your previous investment allocation instructions do not include any available investment options, we will require new instructions. If we do not receive new instructions, the requested transaction will be canceled and any premium payment will be returned. Under asset rebalance programs the value remaining in the closed subaccount will be excluded from any future rebalancing. The value of the closed subaccount will continue to fluctuate due to portfolio performance, and may exceed the original rebalance percentages you requested. As you consider your overall investment strategy within your policy, you should also consider whether or not to re-allocate the value remaining in the closed subaccount to another investment option. If you decide to re-allocate the value of the closed subaccount, you will need to provide us with instructions to achieve your goal. Under certain situations involving death benefit adjustments for continued policies, if an investment option is closed to new investment, the amount that would have been allocated thereto will instead be allocated pro-rata to the other current investment options you have value allocated to and which are open to new investment.
In the event of any such substitution or change, we may, by appropriate endorsement, make such changes in the policies as may be necessary or appropriate to reflect such substitution or change. Furthermore, if deemed to be in the best interests of persons having voting rights under the policies, the separate account may be (1) operated as a management company under the 1940 Act or any other form permitted by law, (2) deregistered under the 1940 Act in the event such registration is no longer required or (3) combined with one or more other separate accounts. To the extent permitted by applicable law, we also may (1) transfer the assets of the separate account associated with the policies to another account or accounts, (2) restrict or eliminate any voting rights of owners or other persons who have voting rights as to the separate account, (3) create new separate accounts, (4) add new subaccounts to or remove existing subaccounts from the separate account, or combine subaccounts or (5) add new underlying fund portfolios, or substitute a new underlying fund portfolio for an existing underlying fund portfolio.
The Fixed Account
The fixed account may, but is not guaranteed to always, be available. If available, premium payments allocated and amounts transferred to the fixed account become part of our general account. Interests in the general account have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “1933 Act”), nor is the general account registered as an investment company under the 1940 Act. Accordingly, neither the general account nor any interests therein are generally subject to the provisions of the 1933 or 1940 Acts. Disclosures relating to interests in the general account may, however, be subject to certain generally applicable provisions of the federal securities laws relating to the accuracy of statements made in a registration statement.
While we do not guarantee that the fixed account will always be available for investment, we do guarantee that the interest credited to the fixed account when available will not be less than the guaranteed minimum effective annual interest rate shown on your policy (the “guaranteed minimum”). We determine credited rates, which are guaranteed for at least one year, in our sole discretion. You bear the risk that we will not credit interest greater than the guaranteed minimum. At the end of the guaranteed period option you selected, the value in that guaranteed period option will automatically be transferred into the money market subaccount or if a money market subaccount is unavailable to a new guaranteed period option of the same length (or the next shorter period if the same period is no longer offered) at the current interest rate for that period. You can transfer to another investment option by giving us notice within 30 days before the end of the expiring guaranteed period.
Surrenders, withdrawals, transfers, and amounts applied to an annuity payment option from a guaranteed period option of the fixed account prior to the end of the guaranteed period are generally subject to an excess interest adjustment. See ACCESS TO YOUR MONEY - Excess Interest Adjustment for more information about when an excess interest adjustment applies. This adjustment will also be made to amounts that you apply to an annuity payment option. This adjustment may increase or decrease the amount of interest credited to your policy. The excess interest adjustment will not decrease the interest credited to your policy below the guaranteed minimum.
We also guarantee that upon full surrender your cash value attributable to the fixed account will not be less than the amount required by the applicable nonforfeiture law at the time the policy is issued.
11

If you select the fixed account, when it is available, your money will be placed with our other general assets. The amount of money you are able to accumulate in the fixed account during the accumulation phase depends upon the total interest credited. The amount of each annuity payment you receive during the income phase from the fixed portion of your policy will remain level for the entire income phase. The interest credited as well as principal invested in the fixed account is based on our claims-paying ability.
We reserve the right to refuse any premium payment or transfer to the fixed account.
Transfers
During the accumulation phase, you may make transfers to or from any investment option within certain limitations. Transfers out of a guaranteed period option of the fixed account are limited to the following:
Transfers at the end of a guaranteed period.
Transfers of amounts equal to interest credited. This may affect your overall interest-crediting rate, because unless otherwise directed transfers are deemed to come from the oldest premium payment first.
Other than at the end of a guaranteed period, transfers of amounts from the guaranteed period option in excess of amounts equal to interest credited, are subject to an excess interest adjustment. If it is a negative adjustment, the maximum amount you can transfer in any one policy year may be limited to 25% of the amount in that guaranteed period option, less any previous transfers during the current policy year. If it is a positive adjustment, we do not limit the amount that you can transfer.  (Note: This restriction may prolong the period of time it takes to transfer the full amount in the guaranteed period option of the fixed account.  You should carefully consider whether investment in the fixed account meets your needs and investment criteria.)
In general, each transfer must be at least $500, or the entire subaccount value. Transfers of interest from a guaranteed period option of the fixed account must be at least $50. If less than $500 remains as a result of the transfer, then we reserve the right to include that amount in the transfer. Transfer requests must be received in good order while the New York Stock Exchange is open to get same-day pricing of the transaction. See OTHER INFORMATION - Sending Forms and Transaction Requests in Good Order.
The number of transfers permitted may be limited and a $10 charge for each transfer in excess of 12 in any policy year may apply. We reserve the right to prohibit transfers to the fixed account.
During the income phase, you may transfer values out of any subaccount; however, you cannot transfer values out of the fixed account. The minimum amount that can be transferred during this phase is the lesser of $10 of monthly income, or the entire monthly income of the annuity units in the subaccount from which the transfer is being made.
Transfers made by telephone, or other electronic means acceptable to us, are subject to the limitations described in ADDITIONAL FEATURES - Telephone and Electronic Transactions.
Market Timing and Disruptive Trading
Statement of Policy. This variable annuity policy was not designed to accommodate market timing or frequent or large transfers among the subaccounts or between the subaccounts and the fixed account. (Both frequent and large transfers may be considered disruptive.)
Market timing and disruptive trading can adversely affect you, other owners, beneficiaries and underlying fund portfolios. The adverse effects may include: (1) dilution of the interests of long-term investors in a subaccount if purchases or transfers into or out of an underlying fund portfolio are made at prices that do not reflect an accurate value for the underlying fund portfolio’s investments (some market timers attempt to do this through methods known as “time-zone arbitrage” and “liquidity arbitrage”); (2) an adverse effect on portfolio management, such as (a) impeding a portfolio manager’s ability to seek or sustain an investment objective; (b) causing the underlying fund portfolio to maintain a higher level of cash than would otherwise be the case; or (c) causing an underlying fund portfolio to liquidate investments prematurely (or otherwise at an inopportune time) in order to pay withdrawals or transfers out of the underlying fund portfolio; and (3) increased brokerage and administrative expenses. These costs are borne by all owners invested in those subaccounts, not just those making the transfers.
We have developed policies and procedures with respect to market timing and disruptive trading (which vary for certain subaccounts at the request of the corresponding underlying fund portfolios) and we do not make special arrangements or grant exceptions to accommodate market timing or potentially disruptive trading. As discussed herein, we cannot detect or deter all market timing or potentially disruptive trading. Do not invest with us if you intend to conduct market timing or potentially disruptive trading or have concerns about our inability to detect or prevent any such trading.
12

Detection. We employ various means in an attempt to detect and deter market timing and disruptive trading. However, despite our monitoring we may not be able to detect nor halt all harmful trading. In addition, because other insurance companies (and retirement plans) with different policies and procedures may invest in the underlying fund portfolios, we cannot guarantee that all harmful trading will be detected or that an underlying fund portfolio will not suffer harm from market timing and disruptive trading among subaccounts of variable products issued by these other insurance companies or retirement plans.
Deterrence. If we determine you or anyone acting on your behalf is engaged in market timing or disruptive trading, we may take one or more actions in an attempt to halt such trading. Your ability to make transfers is subject to modification or restriction if we determine, in our sole opinion, that your exercise of the transfer privilege may disadvantage or potentially harm the rights or interests of other owners (or others having an interest in the variable insurance products). As described below, restrictions may take various forms, but under our current policies and procedures will include loss of expedited transfer privileges. We consider transfers by telephone, fax, overnight mail, or the Internet to be “expedited” transfers. This means that we would accept only written transfer requests with an original signature transmitted to us only by U.S. mail. We may also restrict the transfer privileges of others acting on your behalf, including your registered representative or an asset allocation or investment advisory service.
We reserve the right to reject any premium payment or transfer request from any person without prior notice, if, in our judgment, (1) the premium payment or transfer, or series of premium payments or transfers, would have a negative impact on an underlying fund portfolio's operations, or (2) if an underlying fund portfolio would reject or has rejected our purchase order or has instructed us not to allow that purchase or transfer, or (3) because of a history of market timing or disruptive trading. We may impose other restrictions on transfers, or even prohibit transfers for any owner who, in our view, has abused, or appears likely to abuse, the transfer privilege on a case-by-case basis. We may, at any time and without prior notice, discontinue transfer privileges, modify our procedures, impose holding period requirements or limit the number, size, frequency, manner, or timing of transfers we permit. Because determining whether to impose any such special restrictions depends on our judgment and discretion, it is possible that some owners could engage in disruptive trading that is not permitted for others. We also reserve the right to reverse a potentially harmful transfer if an underlying fund portfolio refuses or reverses our order; in such instances some owners may be treated differently than others in that some transfers may be reversed and others allowed. For all of these purposes, we may aggregate two or more trades or variable insurance products that we believe are connected by owner or persons engaged in trading on behalf of owners.
In addition, transfers for multiple policies invested in the Transamerica Series Trust underlying fund portfolios which are submitted together may be disruptive at certain levels. At the present time, such aggregated transactions likely will not cause disruption if less than one million dollars total is being transferred with respect to any one underlying fund portfolio (a smaller amount may apply to smaller portfolios). Please note that transfers of less than one million dollars may be disruptive in some circumstances and this general amount may change quickly.
For policies with Portfolio Allocation Method, the effect of transfers pursuant thereto may be considered disruptive for certain underlying fund portfolios. As a result, policy owners using Portfolio Allocation Method may have to change their selected underlying fund portfolios.
Please note: If you engage a third party investment adviser for asset allocation services, then you may be subject to these transfer restrictions because of the actions of your investment adviser in providing these services.
In addition to our internal policies and procedures, we will administer your variable annuity to comply with any applicable state, federal, and other regulatory requirements concerning transfers. We reserve the right to implement, administer, and charge you for any fee or restriction, including redemption fees, imposed by any underlying fund portfolio. To the extent permitted by law, we also reserve the right to defer the transfer privilege at any time that we are unable to purchase or redeem shares of any of the underlying fund portfolios.
Under our current policies and procedures, we do not:
impose redemption fees on transfers; or
expressly limit the number or size of transfers in a given period except for certain subaccounts where an underlying fund portfolio has advised us to prohibit certain transfers that exceed a certain size; or
provide a certain number of allowable transfers in a given period.
Redemption fees, transfer limits, and other procedures or restrictions imposed by the underlying funds or our competitors may be more or less successful than ours in deterring market timing or other disruptive trading and in preventing or limiting harm from such trading.
13

In the absence of a prophylactic transfer restriction (e.g., expressly limiting the number of trades within a given period or limiting trades by their size), it is likely that some level of market timing and disruptive trading will occur before it is detected and steps taken to deter it (although some level of market timing and disruptive trading can occur with a prophylactic transfer restriction). As noted above, we do not impose a prophylactic transfer restriction and, therefore, it is likely that some level of market timing and disruptive trading will occur before we are able to detect it and take steps in an attempt to deter it.
Please note that the limits and restrictions described herein are subject to our ability to monitor transfer activity. Our ability to detect market timing or disruptive trading may be limited by operational and technological systems, as well as by our ability to predict strategies employed by owners (or those acting on their behalf) to avoid detection. As a result, despite our efforts to prevent harmful trading activity among the variable investment options available under this variable insurance product, there is no assurance that we will be able to detect or deter market timing or disruptive trading by such owners or intermediaries acting on their behalf. Moreover, our ability to discourage and restrict market timing or disruptive trading may be limited by decisions of state regulatory bodies and court orders that we cannot predict.
Furthermore, we may revise our policies and procedures in our sole discretion at any time and without prior notice, as we deem necessary or appropriate (1) to better detect and deter harmful trading that may adversely affect other owners, other persons with material rights under the variable insurance products, or underlying fund shareholders generally, (2) to comply with state or federal regulatory requirements, or (3) to impose additional or alternative restrictions on owners engaging in market timing or disruptive trading among the investment options under the variable insurance product. In addition, we may not honor transfer requests if any variable investment option that would be affected by the transfer is unable to purchase or redeem shares of its corresponding underlying fund portfolio.
Underlying Fund Portfolio Frequent Trading Policies. The underlying fund portfolios may have adopted their own policies and procedures with respect to frequent purchases and redemptions of their respective shares. Underlying fund portfolios may, for example, assess a redemption fee (which we reserve the right to collect) on shares held for less than a certain period of time. The prospectuses for the underlying fund portfolios describe any such policies and procedures. The frequent trading policies and procedures of an underlying fund portfolio may be different, and more or less restrictive, than the frequent trading policies and procedures of other underlying fund portfolios and the policies and procedures we have adopted for our variable insurance products to discourage market timing and disruptive trading. Owners should be aware that we do not monitor transfer requests from owners or persons acting on behalf of owners against, nor do we apply, the frequent trading policies and procedures of the respective underlying fund portfolios that would be affected by the transfers.
Owners should be aware that we are required to provide to an underlying fund portfolio or its payee, promptly upon request, certain information about the trading activity of individual owners, and to restrict or prohibit further purchases or transfers by specific owners or persons acting on their behalf, identified by an underlying fund portfolio as violating the frequent trading policies established for the underlying fund portfolio.
Omnibus Orders. Owners and other persons with material rights under the variable insurance products also should be aware that the purchase and redemption orders received by the underlying fund portfolios generally are “omnibus” orders from intermediaries such as retirement plans and separate accounts funding variable insurance products. The omnibus orders reflect the aggregation and netting of multiple orders from individual retirement plan participants and individual owners of variable insurance products. The omnibus nature of these orders may limit the underlying fund portfolios' ability to apply their respective frequent trading policies and procedures.
We cannot guarantee that the underlying fund portfolios will not be harmed by transfer activity relating to the retirement plans or other insurance companies that may invest in the underlying fund portfolios. These other insurance companies are responsible for their own policies and procedures regarding frequent transfer activity. If their policies and procedures fail to successfully discourage harmful transfer activity, it may affect other owners of underlying fund portfolio shares, as well as the owners of all of the variable annuity or life insurance policies, including ours, whose variable investment options correspond to the affected underlying fund portfolios. In addition, if an underlying fund portfolio believes that an omnibus order we submit may reflect one or more transfer requests from owners engaged in market timing and disruptive trading, the underlying fund portfolio may reject the entire omnibus order and thereby delay or prevent us from implementing your request.
Investment Restrictions
If you elect certain optional riders, you will be subject to investment restrictions requiring you to invest in certain underlying fund portfolios, known as designated investment options. In the future, we may change the investment restrictions.
One or more of the underlying fund portfolios that may be designated investment options under each optional rider, in part, may include a volatility control strategy. Volatility control strategies, in periods of high market volatility, could limit your participation in market gains; this may conflict with your investment objectives by limiting your ability to maximize potential
14

growth of your policy value and, in turn, the value of any guaranteed benefit that is tied to investment performance. Volatility control strategies are intended to help limit overall volatility and reduce the effects of significant market downturns during periods of high market volatility, providing policy owners with the opportunity for smoother performance and better risk adjusted returns. Volatility control (and similar terms) can encompass a variety of investment strategies of different types and degrees; therefore, you should read the applicable annuity and underlying fund portfolio prospectuses carefully to understand how these investment strategies may affect your policy value and rider benefits. Our requirement to invest in accordance with designated investment options, which may include volatility control, may reduce our costs and risks associated with this rider. You pay an additional fee for the rider benefits which, in part, pay for protecting the rider benefit base from investment losses. Since the rider benefit base does not decrease as a result of investment losses, volatility control strategies might not provide meaningful additional benefit to you. You should carefully evaluate with your financial advisor whether to invest in underlying fund portfolios with volatility control strategies, taking into consideration the potential positive or negative impact that such strategy may have on your investment objectives, your policy value and the benefits under the riders. If you determine that funds with volatility control strategies are not consistent with your investment objectives, there continues to be other designated investment options available under the riders that do not invest in funds that utilize volatility control strategies.
For more information about the underlying fund portfolios and the investment strategies they employ, please refer to the underlying fund portfolios' current prospectuses.
EXPENSES
There are charges and expenses associated with your policy that reduce the return on your investment in the policy. In addition to the following charges, there are optional benefits that if selected, assess additional charges. Please see ADDITIONAL FEATURES for more information.
Surrender Charges
During the accumulation phase, you can surrender part or all of the cash value (restrictions may apply to qualified policies). We may apply a surrender charge to compensate us for start-up expenses of the policy relating to sales, including commissions to registered representatives and other promotional expenses.
You can surrender up to 10% of your premium payments each policy year free of surrender charges. This amount is referred to as the surrender charge free amount and is determined at the time of surrender. (This amount is not cumulative, so not surrendering anything in one year does not increase the surrender charge free amount in subsequent years.) If the surrender is in excess of the surrender charge free amount, you might have to pay a surrender charge, which is a contingent deferred sales charge, on the excess amount.
For example, assume you selected the B-Share and your premium is $100,000 and your policy value is $106,000 at the beginning of the second policy year and you surrender $30,000. Since that amount is more than your surrender charge free amount ($10,000), you would pay a surrender charge of $1,600 on the remaining $20,000 [8% of ($30,000 - $10,000)]. Likewise, assume you selected the B-Share and your policy value is $80,000 (premium payments $100,000) at the beginning of the second policy year and you surrender your policy. You would pay a surrender charge of $7,200 [8% of ($100,000 - ($100,000 x 10%))].
You can generally choose to receive the full amount of a requested partial surrender by directing us to deduct any applicable surrender charge (and any applicable excess interest adjustment) from your remaining policy value. You receive your cash value upon full surrender.
Surrender charges are waived if you surrender money under the Nursing Care and Terminal Condition Withdrawal Option or the Unemployment Waiver.
For surrender charge purposes, earnings are considered to be surrendered first, then the oldest premium is considered to be surrendered next. Please note, while there is no surrender charge on the withdrawal of earnings, withdrawn earnings do count towards your surrender charge free amount. This means that withdrawing earnings will reduce (possibly to zero) your surrender charge free amount (10% of premium payments) for that policy year.
Keep in mind that surrenders may be taxable and, if made before age 59½, may be subject to a 10% federal penalty tax. For tax purposes, surrenders from nonqualified policies are considered to come from taxable earnings first.
We may elect to reduce or eliminate the amount of the surrender charge when the policy is sold under circumstances which reduce our sales or other expenses or when required to by regulation or regulatory authority.
15

Liquidity Rider Surrender Charge Schedule. The optional Liquidity Rider (only available with the B-Share) reduces the number of years each premium payment is subject to surrender charges from seven years to four years. The surrender charge schedule is the same as the B-Share during the first four years for each premium payment. There is an extra charge for this rider.
Excess Interest Adjustment
Surrenders, withdrawals, transfers, amounts applied when a death benefit is calculated, and amounts applied to an annuity option from the fixed account may be subject to an excess interest adjustment. This adjustment could retroactively reduce the interest credited in the fixed account to the guaranteed minimum or increase the amount credited. This adjustment may also apply to amounts applied to an annuity payment option. Please see “Appendix - Excess Interest Adjustment Examples” for an example showing the effect of a hypothetical excess interest adjustment calculation. The excess interest adjustment plays a role in calculating the total interest credited to the fixed account.
Mortality and Expense Risk Fees
We charge a fee as compensation for bearing certain mortality and expense risks under the policy. This fee is assessed daily based on the net asset value of each subaccount. Examples of such risks include a guarantee of annuity rates, the death benefit, certain expenses of the policy (including distribution related expenses), and assuming the risk that the current charges will be insufficient in the future to cover costs of selling, distributing and administering the policy.
If this charge does not cover our actual costs, we absorb the loss. Conversely, if the charge more than covers actual costs, the excess is added to our surplus. We expect to profit from this charge. We may use any profit for any proper purpose, including distribution expenses.
Premium Taxes
A deduction is also made for premium taxes, if any, imposed on us by a state, municipality or other government agency. The tax, currently ranging from 0% to 3.50%, is assessed at the time premium payments are made or when annuity payments begin. We pay the premium tax at the time it is imposed. We will, at our discretion, deduct the total amount of premium taxes, if any, from the policy value when such taxes are due to the applicable taxing authority, you begin receiving annuity payments, you surrender the policy or a death benefit is paid.
Federal, State and Local Taxes
We may in the future deduct charges from the policy for any taxes we incur because of the policy. However, no deductions are being made at the present time.
Special Service Fees
We may deduct a charge for special services, including overnight delivery; duplicate policies; non-sufficient checks on new business; duplicate Form 1099 and Form 5498 tax forms; duplicate disclosure documents and semi-annual reports; check copies; printing and mailing previously submitted forms; and asset verification requests from mortgage companies. In addition, we may consider as special services customer initiated changes, modifications and transactions which are submitted in such a manner as to require us to incur additional processing costs.
Transfer Fee
You are generally allowed to make 12 free transfers per policy year before the annuity commencement date. If you make more than 12 transfers per policy year, we reserve the right to charge for each additional transfer. Premium payments, Asset Rebalancing, and Dollar Cost Averaging transfers do not count as one of your free transfers. All transfer requests made at the same time are treated as a single transfer.
Service Charge
We reserve the right to increase the annual service charge up to the maximum. A portion of the service charge may be waived, but is not guaranteed to always be waived. We reserve the right to vary the amount of any waiver and the circumstances in which any waiver or waivers apply.
16

Administrative Charges
We deduct a daily administrative charge to cover the costs of supporting and administering the policy (including certain distribution-related expenses). This charge is equal to a percentage of the daily net asset value of each subaccount during both the accumulation phase and the income phase.
Fund Facilitation Fee
We charge a fund facilitation fee in order to make certain subaccounts available as investment options under the policies. We apply the fee to subaccounts that invest in underlying funds that do not provide us with the amount of revenue we require in order for us to meet our expenses and revenue targets. This fee is assessed daily based on the net asset value of subaccounts that we specify.
Optional Benefits
If you elect to purchase optional benefits, we will deduct an additional fee. For some optional benefits the fee is assessed against the daily net asset value of each subaccount and for others it is deducted from each investment option in proportion to the amount of policy value in each investment option. Please refer to the FEE TABLE AND EXPENSE EXAMPLES for the list of fees for each optional benefit and ADDITIONAL FEATURES for more information.
Portfolio Fees and Expenses
The value of the assets in each subaccount will reflect the fees and expenses paid by the underlying fund portfolios. The lowest and highest underlying fund portfolio expenses for the previous calendar year are found in FEE TABLE AND EXPENSE EXAMPLES in this prospectus. See the prospectuses for the underlying fund portfolios for more information.
Reduced Fees and Charges
We may, at our discretion, reduce or eliminate certain fees and charges for certain policies (including employer-sponsored savings plans) which may result in decreased costs and expenses.
Revenue We Receive
This prospectus describes generally the payments that we (and/or our affiliates) may directly or indirectly receive from the underlying fund portfolios, their advisers, subadvisers, distributors or affiliates thereof, in connection with certain administrative, marketing and other support services we (and/or our affiliates) provide and expenses we incur in offering and selling our variable insurance products. These arrangements are sometimes referred to as “revenue sharing” arrangements and are described further below. While only certain of the types of payments described below may be made in connection with your particular policy, all such payments may nonetheless influence or impact actions we (and/or our affiliates) take, and recommendations we (and our affiliates) make, regarding each of the variable insurance products that we (and our affiliates) offer, including your policy.
We (and/or our affiliates) may receive some or all of the following types of payments:
• Rule 12b-1 Fees. We and/or our affiliate, Transamerica Capital, Inc. (“TCI”) who is the principal underwriter for the policies, indirectly receive 12b-1 fees from certain underlying fund portfolios available as investment options under our variable insurance products. Any 12b-1 fees received by TCI that are attributable to our variable insurance products are then credited to us. These fees range from 0.00% to 0.35% of the average daily assets of the certain underlying fund portfolios attributable to the policies and to certain other variable insurance products that we and our affiliates issue.
• Administrative, Marketing and Support Service Fees (“Support Fees”). As noted above, an investment adviser, subadviser, administrator and/or distributor (or affiliates thereof) of the underlying fund portfolios may make payments to us and/or our affiliates, including TCI. These payments may be derived, in whole or in part, from the profits the investment adviser or subadviser realized on the advisory fee deducted from underlying fund portfolio assets. Policy owners, through their indirect investment in the underlying fund portfolios, bear the costs of these advisory fees (see the prospectuses for the underlying funds for more information). The amount of the payments we (or our affiliates) receive is generally based on a percentage of the assets of the particular underlying fund portfolios attributable to the policy and to certain other variable insurance products that our affiliates and we issue. These percentages differ and the amounts may be significant. Some advisers or sub-advisers (or other affiliates) pay us more than others.
17

The following chart provides the maximum combined percentages of 12b-1 fees and Support Fees that we anticipate will be paid to us on an annual basis.
Incoming Payments to Us and/or TCI
Fund   Maximum Fee % of assets
TRANSAMERICA SERIES TRUST   0.25%
AB VARIABLE PRODUCTS SERIES FUND, INC.   0.45%
AMERICAN FUNDS INSURANCE SERIES® TRUST   0.25%
FIDELITY ® VARIABLE INSURANCE PRODUCTS FUND   0.395%
GE INVESTMENTS FUNDS, INC.   0.45%
NOTES TO INCOMING PAYMENTS TABLE:
Maximum Fee % of assets: Payments are based on a percentage of the average assets of each underlying fund portfolio owned by the subaccounts available under this policy and under certain other variable insurance products offered by our affiliates and us. We and/or TCI may continue to receive 12b-1 fees and administrative fees on funds invested in subaccounts that are closed to new premium payments, depending on the terms of the agreements supporting those payments and on the services provided.
TST: Because TST is managed by TAM, an affiliate of ours, there are additional benefits to us and our affiliates for amounts you allocate to the TST underlying fund portfolios, in terms of our and our affiliates’ overall profitability. These additional benefits may be significant. Payments or other benefits may be received from TAM. Such payments or benefits may be entered into for a variety of purposes, such as to allocate resources to us and to provide administrative services to the policyholders who invest in subaccounts that invest in the TST underlying fund portfolios. These payments or benefits may take the form of internal credits, recognition, or cash payments. A variety of financial and accounting methods may be used to allocate resources and profits to us. Additionally, if a TST portfolio is subadvised by an entity that is affiliated with us, we may retain more revenue than on those TST portfolios that are subadvised by non-affiliated entities. During 2014 we received $193,786,739.87 for Transamerica Life Insurance Company and $11,056,449.12 for Transamerica Financial Life Insurance Company in benefits from TAM pursuant to these arrangements. This includes the 0.25% amount in the above chart. We anticipate receiving comparable amounts in the future.
Fidelity ® Variable Insurance Products Fund: We receive this percentage once $100 million in fund shares are held by the subaccounts of ours and our affiliates.
Other Payments. TCI also serves as the wholesale distributor for the policies, and in that capacity directly or indirectly receives additional amounts or different percentages of assets under management from certain advisers and subadvisers to the underlying fund portfolios (or their affiliates) with regard to variable insurance products and/or mutual funds that are issued by us and our affiliates. These amounts may be derived, in whole or in part, from the profits the investment adviser or subadviser receives from the advisory fee deducted from underlying fund portfolio assets. Owners, through their indirect investment in the underlying fund portfolios, bear the costs of these advisory fees. Certain advisers and subadvisers of the underlying fund portfolios (or their affiliates):
may each directly or indirectly pay TCI amounts up to $75,000 per year to participate in a “preferred sponsor” program that provides such advisers and subadvisers with access to TCI's wholesalers at TCI's national and regional sales conferences as well as internal and external meetings and events that are attended by TCI's wholesalers and/or other TCI employees.
may provide our affiliates and/or selling firms with wholesaling services to assist us in the distribution of the policies.
may provide us and/or certain affiliates and/or selling firms with occasional gifts, meals, tickets or other compensation as an incentive to market the underlying fund portfolios and to assist with their promotional efforts. The amounts may be significant and these arrangements provide the adviser or subadviser (or other affiliates) with increased access to us and to our affiliates involved in the distribution of the policies.
For the calendar year ended December 31, 2014, TCI and its affiliates received revenue sharing payments that totaled approximately $750,000. The firms that paid revenue to participate in TCI sponsored events included but were not limited to the following: Aegon USA Investment Management • Alliance Bernstein Investments • American Funds • Barrow, Hanley, Mewhinney & Strauss • BlackRock Investment Management, LLC • CBRE Clarion Real Estate Securities • Fidelity Investments • Janus Capital • Jennison Associates • JP Morgan Asset Management • Kayne Anderson Capital • Legg Mason Capital Management • Logan Circle Investment Partners • Morningstar Advisers • Natixis Global Asset Management • Pacific Investment Management Company • PineBridge Investments • Ranger Investments • Systematic Financial Management • Thompson Siegel & Walmsley, LLC • Vanguard • Wellington Management Company.
Please note some of the aforementioned managers and/or subadvisers may not be associated with underlying fund portfolios currently available in this product.
18

Proceeds from certain of these payments by the underlying fund portfolios, the advisers, the subadvisers and/or their affiliates may be used for any corporate purpose, including payment of expenses (1) that we and our affiliates incur in promoting, marketing, and administering the policy, and (2) that we incur, in our role as intermediary, in promoting, marketing, and administering the underlying fund portfolios. We and our affiliates may profit from these payments.
For further details about the compensation payments we make in connection with the sale of the policies, see OTHER INFORMATION - Distribution of the Policies in this prospectus.
ACCESS TO YOUR MONEY
During the accumulation phase, you can have access to the money in your policy in the following ways:
by making a surrender (either a full or partial surrender); or
by taking systematic payouts (See ADDITIONAL FEATURES - Systematic Payout Option for more details).
Surrenders
During the accumulation phase, if you take a full surrender you will receive your cash value. If you want to take a partial surrender, in most cases it must be for at least $500 . Unless you tell us otherwise, we will take the surrender from each of the investment options in proportion to the policy value. Surrenders may be referred to as withdrawals on your policy statement and other documents.
You may elect to take up to the surrender charge free amount each policy year without incurring a surrender charge. Remember that any surrender you take will reduce the policy value, and the amount of the death benefit. See DEATH BENEFIT, for more details. A partial surrender also may have a negative impact on certain other benefits and guarantees of your policy. See ADDITIONAL FEATURES, for more details.
Surrenders in excess of the surrender charge free amount may be subject to a surrender charge. Surrenders from the fixed account may be subject to an excess interest adjustment. Income taxes, federal tax penalties and certain restrictions may apply to any surrenders you make.
Surrenders from qualified policies may be restricted or prohibited.
During the income phase, you will receive annuity payments under the annuity payment option you select; however, you generally may not take any other surrenders, either full or partial.
Delay of Payment and Transfers
Payment of any amount due from the separate account for a surrender, a death benefit, or the death of the owner of a nonqualified policy, will generally occur within seven days from the date we receive in good order all required information at our Administrative Office. We may defer such payment from the separate account if:
the New York Stock Exchange is closed other than for usual weekends or holidays or trading on the Exchange is otherwise restricted;
an emergency exists as defined by the SEC or the SEC requires that trading be restricted; or
the SEC permits a delay for the protection of owners.
Transfers of amounts from the subaccounts also may be deferred under these circumstances. In addition, if, pursuant to SEC rules, the Transamerica Aegon Money Market VP portfolio (or any money market portfolio offered under this policy) suspends payment of redemption proceeds in connection with a liquidation of the portfolio, then we may delay payment of any transfer, surrender (either full or partial), loan, or death benefit from the TA Aegon Money Market subaccount until the portfolio is liquidated.
Any payment or transfer request which is not in good order will cause a delay. See OTHER INFORMATION - Sending Forms and Transaction Requests in Good Order.
Federal laws designed to counter terrorism and prevent money laundering by criminals might in certain circumstances require us to reject a premium payment and/or “freeze” an owner's account. If these laws apply in a particular situation, we would not be allowed to pay any request for surrenders (either full or partial), or death benefits, make transfers, or continue making annuity payments absent instructions from the appropriate federal regulator. We may also be required to provide information about you and your policy to government agencies or departments.
Pursuant to the requirements of certain state laws, we reserve the right to defer payment of the cash value from the fixed account for up to six months. We may defer payment of any amount until your premium payment check has cleared your bank.
19

Excess Interest Adjustment
Surrenders, withdrawals, transfers, and amounts applied to an annuity option, from a guaranteed period option of the fixed account before the end of its guaranteed period (the number of years you specified the money would remain in the guaranteed period option) may be subject to an excess interest adjustment. If, at the time of such transactions the guaranteed interest rate set by us for the applicable period has risen since the date of the initial guarantee, the excess interest adjustment will result in a lower cash value (but not below the excess interest adjustment floor described in “Appendix - Excess Interest Adjustment Examples”). However, if the guaranteed interest rate for the applicable period has fallen since the date of the initial guarantee, the excess interest adjustment will result in a higher cash value upon surrender or transfer. Please see “Appendix - Excess Interest Adjustment Examples” to see how the excess interest adjustment is calculated and illustrative examples using hypothetical values.
Any amount surrendered in excess of the cumulative interest credited for that guaranteed period option is generally subject to an excess interest adjustment. An excess interest adjustment may also be made on amounts applied to an annuity payment option.
The formula that will be used to determine the excess interest adjustment is:
S* (G-C)* (M/12)
S = Is the amount (before surrender charges, premium taxes and the application of any Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefits, if any) being surrendered, withdrawn, transferred, paid upon death, or applied to an income option that is subject to the excess interest adjustment;
G = Is the guaranteed interest rate for the guaranteed period applicable to “S”;
C = Is the current guaranteed interest rate then being offered on new premium payments for the next longer option period than “M”. If this policy form or such an option period is no longer offered, “C” will be the U.S. Treasury rate for the next longer maturity (in whole years) than “M” on the 25th day of the previous calendar month; and
M = Number of months remaining in the current option period for “S”, rounded up to the next higher whole number of months.
* = multiplication
Please see “Appendix - Excess Interest Adjustment Examples” for more detailed information concerning the excess interest adjustment calculation.
There will be no excess interest adjustment on any of the following:
withdrawals of cumulative interest credited for that guaranteed period option;
Nursing Care and Terminal Condition Waiver surrenders;
Unemployment Waiver surrenders;
transfers from a Dollar Cost Averaging fixed source;
withdrawals to satisfy any minimum distribution requirements; and
systematic withdrawals, which do not exceed cumulative interest credited at the time of payment.
Please note that in these circumstances you will not receive a higher cash value if interest rates have fallen nor will you receive a lower cash value if interest rates have risen.
The excess interest adjustment may vary for certain policies and may not be applicable for all policies.
Signature Guarantee
As a protection against fraud, we require a signature guarantee (i.e., Medallion Signature Guarantee as required by us) for the following transaction requests:
Any surrenders over $250,000;
Certain surrenders on or within 15 days of an address change;
Any surrender request made on or within 15 days of an ownership change;
Any surrender when we have been directed to send proceeds to a different personal address from the address of record for that owner. PLEASE NOTE: This requirement will not apply to requests made in connection with exchanges of one annuity for another with the same owner in a “tax-free exchange”;
20

Any surrender when we do not have an originating or guaranteed signature on file;
Any other transaction we require.
We may change the specific requirements listed above, or add signature guarantees in other circumstances, at our discretion if we deem it necessary or appropriate to help protect against fraud. For current requirements, please refer to the requirements listed on the appropriate form or call us at (800)525-6205.
You can obtain a Medallion signature guarantee from more than 7,000 financial institutions across the United States and Canada that participate in a Medallion signature guarantee program. The best source of a Medallion signature guarantee is a bank, savings and loan association, brokerage firm, or credit union with which you do business. A notary public cannot provide a Medallion signature guarantee. Notarization will not substitute for a Medallion signature guarantee.
ANNUITY PAYMENTS (THE INCOME PHASE)
Upon the annuity commencement date, which is the date your policy is annuitized and annuity payments begin, your annuity switches from the accumulation phase to the income phase. You can generally change the annuity commencement date by giving us 30 days notice with the new date or age. Unless required by state law this date cannot be earlier than the third policy anniversary. The latest annuity commencement date generally cannot be later than the last day of the month following the month in which the annuitant attains age 99 (earlier if required by state law).
Before the annuity commencement date, if the annuitant is alive, you may choose an annuity payment option or change your election. If the annuitant dies before the annuity commencement date, the death benefit is payable in a lump sum or under one of the annuity payment options (unless the surviving spouse is eligible to and elects to continue the policy). If the annuitant dies after the annuity commencement date, no death benefit is payable and the amount payable will depend on the annuity income option.
Your policy may not be “partially” annuitized, i.e., you may not apply a portion of your policy value to an annuity option while keeping the remainder of your policy in force.
Unless you specify otherwise, the owner will receive the annuity payments. After the annuitant's death, the beneficiary you designate at annuitization will receive any remaining guaranteed payments.
Annuity Payment Options
The policy provides several annuity payment options (also known as income options) that are described below. You may choose any combination of annuity payment options. We will use your adjusted policy value to provide these annuity payments. If the adjusted policy value on the annuity commencement date is less than $2,000, we reserve the right to pay it in one lump sum in lieu of applying it under an annuity payment option. You can receive annuity payments monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually. (We reserve the right to change the frequency if annuity payments would be less than the amount specified in your policy.) We may require proof of life before making annuity payments.
In deciding on which annuity payment option to elect, you must decide if fixed or variable payments are better for you. If you choose to receive fixed annuity payments, then the amount of each payment will be set on the annuity commencement date and will not change. You may, however, choose to receive variable annuity payments. The dollar amount of the first variable annuity payment will be determined in accordance with the annuity payment rates set forth in the applicable table contained in the policy. The dollar amount of additional variable annuity payments will vary based on the investment performance of the subaccount(s) you select. The dollar amount of each variable annuity payment after the first may increase, decrease, or remain constant. If the actual investment performance (net of fees and expenses) exactly matched the assumed investment return of 3% at all times, the amount of each variable annuity payment would remain constant. If actual investment performance (net of fees and expenses) exceeds the assumed investment return, the amount of the variable annuity payments would increase. Conversely, if actual investment performance (net of fees and expenses) is lower than the assumed investment return, the amount of the variable annuity payments would decrease.
You must also decide if you want your annuity payments to be guaranteed for the annuitant's lifetime, a period certain, or a combination thereof. Generally, annuity payments will be lower if you combine a period certain, guaranteed amount, or liquidity with a lifetime guarantee (e.g., Life Income with 10 years Certain and Life with Guaranteed Return of Policy proceeds). Likewise, annuity payments will also generally be lower the longer the period certain (because you are guaranteed payments for a longer time).
A charge for premium taxes and an excess interest adjustment may be made when annuity payments begin.
The annuity payment options currently available are explained below. Some options are fixed only.
21

Income for a Specified Period of at least 10 years (fixed only). We will make level annuity payments only for a fixed period of at least 10 years. No funds will remain at the end of the period. If your policy is a qualified policy, this annuity payment option may not satisfy minimum required distribution rules. Consult a tax advisor before electing this option.
Income of a Specified Amount (fixed only). Payments are made for any specified amount until the amount applied to this option, with interest, is exhausted. This will be a series of level annuity payments followed by a smaller final annuity payment. If your policy is a qualified policy, this annuity payment option may not satisfy minimum required distribution rules. Consult a tax advisor before electing this option.
Life Income. You may choose between:
No Period Certain (fixed or variable) - Payments will be made only during the annuitant's lifetime. The last annuity payment will be the payment immediately before the annuitant's death.
10 Years Certain (fixed or variable) - Payments will be made for the longer of the annuitant's lifetime or ten years.
Guaranteed Return of Policy Proceeds (fixed only) - Payments will be made for the longer of the annuitant's lifetime or until the total dollar amount of annuity payments we made to you equals the annuitized amount (i.e., the adjusted policy value).
Joint and Survivor Annuity. You may choose:
No Period Certain (fixed or variable) - Payments are made during the joint lifetime of the annuitant and a joint annuitant of your selection. Annuity payments will be made as long as either person is living.
10 Year Certain (fixed only) - Payments will be made for the longer of the lifetime of the annuitant and joint annuitant or ten years.
Other annuity payment options may be arranged by agreement with us. Some annuity payment options may not be available for all policies, all ages or we may limit certain annuity payment options to ensure they comply with the applicable tax law provisions.
NOTE CAREFULLY
IF:
you choose Life Income with No Period Certain or a Joint and Survivor Annuity with No Period Certain; and
the annuitant dies (or both joint annuitants die) before the due date of the second (third, fourth, etc.) annuity payment;
THEN:
we may make only one (two, three, etc.) annuity payments.
IF:
you choose Income for a Specified Period, Life Income with 10 Years Certain, Life Income with Guaranteed Return of Policy Proceeds, or Income of a Specified Amount; and
the person receiving annuity payments dies prior to the end of the guaranteed period;
THEN:
the remaining guaranteed annuity payments will be continued to a new payee, or their present value may be paid in a single sum.
We will not pay interest on amounts represented by uncashed annuity payment checks if the postal or other delivery service is unable to deliver checks to the payee's address of record. The person receiving annuity payments is responsible for keeping us informed of his/her current address.
You must annuitize your policy no later than the maximum annuity commencement date specified in your policy (earlier for certain distribution channels) or a later date if agreed to by us. If you do not elect an annuity payment option, the default option will be Life with 10 Years Certain (subject to certain exceptions for qualified policies). If any portion of the default annuitization is a variable payout option, then annuity units will be purchased proportionally based off your available current investment allocations. Please note, all benefits (including guaranteed minimum death benefits and living benefits) terminate upon annuitization. The only benefits that remain include the guarantees provided under the terms of the annuity option.
DEATH BENEFIT
We will pay a death benefit to your beneficiary, under certain circumstances, if the annuitant dies during the accumulation phase. If there is a surviving owner(s) when the annuitant dies, the surviving owner(s) will receive the death benefit instead of the listed beneficiary. The person receiving the death benefit may choose an annuity payment option (if you pick a variable annuity payment
22

option fees and expenses will apply), or may choose to receive the death benefit via partial withdrawals, or lump sum withdrawal. The guarantees of these death benefits are based on our claims-paying ability. No death benefit will be payable upon or after the annuity commencement date. Please note that there is a mandatory annuity commencement date.
We will determine the amount of and process the death benefit proceeds, if any are payable on a policy, upon receipt at our Administrative Office of satisfactory proof of the annuitant's death, directions regarding how to process the death benefit, and any other documents, forms and information that we need (collectively referred to as “due proof of death”). For policies with multiple beneficiaries, we will process when the first beneficiary provides us with due proof of their share of the death proceeds. We will not pay any remaining beneficiary their share until we receive due proof of death from that beneficiary. Such beneficiaries continue to bear the investment risk until they submit due proof of death. Please note, we may be required to remit the death benefit proceeds to a state prior to receiving “due proof of death.” See OTHER INFORMATION - Abandoned or Unclaimed Property.
Please Note: Such due proof of death must be received in good order to avoid a delay in processing the death benefit claim. Due proof requires selecting a payment option. See OTHER INFORMATION - Sending Forms and Transaction Requests in Good Order.
The death benefit proceeds remain invested in the separate account in accordance with the allocations made by the policy owner until the beneficiary has provided us with due proof of death. Once we receive due proof of death, investments in the separate account may be reallocated in accordance with the beneficiary's instructions.
We may permit the beneficiary to give a “one-time” written instruction to reallocate the policy value in the separate account to the money market subaccount after the death of the annuitant. If there is more than one beneficiary, all beneficiaries must agree to the reallocation instructions. This one-time reallocation will be permitted if the beneficiary provides satisfactory evidence of the annuitant's death (satisfactory evidence may include a certified death certificate).
When We Pay A Death Benefit
We will pay a death benefit IF:
you are both the annuitant and sole owner of the policy; and
you die before the annuity commencement date.
We will pay a death benefit to you (owner) IF:
you are not the annuitant; and
the annuitant dies before the annuity commencement date.
If the sole beneficiary receiving the death benefit is the surviving spouse of the owner, then he or she may elect, if eligible, to continue the policy as the new annuitant and owner, instead of receiving the death benefit. See DEATH BENEFIT - Spousal Continuation. All currently existing surrender charges will be waived.
When We Do Not Pay A Death Benefit
We will not pay a death benefit IF:
you are the owner but not the annuitant; and
you die prior to the annuity commencement date.
Please note: Distribution requirements apply upon the death of any owner. Generally, upon the owner's death (who is not the annuitant) the entire interest must be distributed within five years. See TAX INFORMATION for a more detailed discussion of the distribution requirements under the Code.
Deaths After the Annuity Commencement Date
The amount payable, if any, on or after the annuity commencement date depends on the annuity income option.
IF:
you are not the annuitant; and
you die on or after the annuity commencement date; and
the entire guaranteed interest in the policy has not been paid;
THEN:
the remaining portion of such guaranteed interest in the policy will continue to be distributed at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution being used as of the date of your death.
23

IF:
you are the owner and annuitant; and
you die after the annuity commencement date; and
the annuity payment option you selected did not have or no longer has a guaranteed period;
THEN:
no additional payments will be made.
Succession of Ownership
If an owner (who is not the annuitant) dies during the accumulation phase, the person or entity first listed below who is alive or in existence on the date of that death will become the new owner:
any surviving owner;
primary beneficiary;
contingent beneficiary; or
owner's estate.
Spousal Continuation
If the sole primary beneficiary is the spouse, upon the owner's or the annuitant's death, the beneficiary may elect to continue the policy in his or her own name. Upon the annuitant's death if such election is made, the policy value will be adjusted upward (but not downward) to an amount equal to the death benefit amount determined upon such election and receipt of due proof of death of the annuitant. Any excess of the death benefit amount over the policy value will be allocated to each applicable investment option in the ratio that the policy value in the investment option bears to the total policy value. The terms and conditions of the policy that applied prior to the annuitant's death will continue to apply, with certain exceptions described in the policy. For purposes of the death benefit on the continued policy, the death benefit is calculated in the same manner as it was prior to continuation on the date the spouse continues the policy. See TAX INFORMATION - Same Sex Relationships for more information concerning spousal continuation involving same sex spouses.
For these purposes, if the sole primary beneficiary of the policy is a revocable grantor trust and the spouse of the owner/annuitant is the sole grantor, trustee, and beneficiary of the trust and the trust is using the spouse of the owner/annuitant's social security number at the time of claim, she or he shall be treated as the owner/annuitant's spouse. In those circumstances, the owner/annuitant's spouse will be treated as the beneficiary of the policy for purposes of applying the spousal continuation provisions of the policy.
For these purposes, if the owner is an individual retirement account within the meaning of IRC sections 408 or 408A and if the annuitant's spouse is the sole primary beneficiary of the annuitant's interest in such account, the annuitant's spouse will be treated as the beneficiary of the policy for purposes of applying the spousal continuation provisions of the policy.
Amount of Death Benefit
Death benefit provisions may differ from state to state. The death benefit may be paid as a lump sum, partial withdrawals or as annuity payments. The amount of the death benefit depends on the guaranteed minimum death benefit option, if any, you choose when you buy the policy. The “base policy” death benefit will generally be the greatest of:
the policy value on the date we receive the required information in good order at our Administrative Office;
the cash value on the date we receive in good order the required information at our Administrative Office (this will be more than the policy value if there is a positive excess interest adjustment that exceeds the surrender charge);
minimum required cash value; and
the guaranteed minimum death benefit (if one was elected) on the date of death; plus premium payments, minus withdrawals, from the date of death to the date the death benefit is paid less any recaptured premium enhancement. Please see “Appendix - Death Benefit” for illustrative examples regarding death benefit calculations.
Please note: The death benefit terminates upon annuitization and there is a maximum annuity commencement date.
Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit
The guaranteed minimum death benefit terminates upon annuitization and there is a mandatory annuity commencement date. On the policy application, you may generally choose a guaranteed minimum death benefit (age limitations may apply) for an additional fee. After the policy is issued, you cannot make an election and the death benefit cannot be changed.
24

Annual Step-Up Death Benefit
Under this option, on each policy anniversary prior to your 81st birthday, a new “stepped-up” death benefit is determined and becomes the guaranteed minimum death benefit for that policy year. This “step-up” death benefit is equal to:
the largest policy value on the policy date or on any policy anniversary prior to the earlier of the annuitant's date of death or the annuitant's 81st birthday; plus
any premium payments since the date of any policy anniversary with the largest policy value; minus
any adjusted partial surrenders (please see “Appendix - Death Benefit”) since the date of the policy anniversary with the largest policy value to the date of death; minus
withdrawals from the date of death to the date the death benefit is paid.
The Annual Step-Up Death Benefit is not available if you or the annuitant is 76 or older on the policy date. There is an extra charge for this death benefit. See FEE TABLE AND EXPENSE EXAMPLES.
Designated Investment Options. If you elected the Annual Step-Up Death Benefit, you must allocate 100% of your policy value to one or more of the designated investment options approved for the Annual Step-Up Death Benefit. See “Appendix - Designated Investment Options” for a complete listing of available subaccounts. Requiring that you designate 100% of your policy value to the designated investment options, some of which employ strategies that are intended to reduce the risk of loss and/or manage volatility, may reduce investment returns and may reduce the likelihood that we will be required to use our own assets to pay amounts due under this benefit.
Please note:
All policy value must be allocated to one or more designated investment options or your death benefit will terminate.
You may transfer amounts among the designated investment options; however, you cannot transfer any amount to any other subaccount if you elect this death benefit.
Return of Premium Death Benefit
The Return of Premium Death Benefit is equal to:
total premium payments; minus
any adjusted partial surrenders (please see “Appendix - Death Benefit”) as of the date of death; minus
withdrawals from the date of death to the date the death benefit is paid.
This benefit is not available if you or the annuitant is 86 or older on the policy date. There is an extra charge for this death benefit. See FEE TABLE AND EXPENSE EXAMPLES.
Designated Investment Options. If you elected the Return of Premium Death Benefit, you must allocate 100% of your policy value to one or more of the designated investment options approved for the Return of Premium Death Benefit. See “Appendix - Designated Investment Options” for a complete listing of available subaccounts. Requiring that you designate 100% of your policy value to the designated investment options, some of which employ strategies that are intended to reduce the risk of loss and/or manage volatility, may reduce investment returns and may reduce the likelihood that we will be required to use our own assets to pay amounts due under this benefit.
Please note:
All policy value must be allocated to one or more designated investment options or your death benefit will terminate.
You may transfer amounts among the designated investment options; however, you cannot transfer any amount to any other subaccount if you elect this death benefit.
Please note: You will not receive an optional guaranteed minimum death benefit if you do not choose one when you purchase your policy.
The Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit may vary for certain policies and may not be available for all policies, in all states, at all times or through all financial intermediaries. We may discontinue offering a guaranteed minimum death benefit at any time.
25

Adjusted Partial Surrender
When you request a partial surrender, your guaranteed minimum death benefit will be reduced by an amount called the adjusted partial surrender. Under certain circumstances, the adjusted partial surrender may be more than the dollar amount of your surrender request. This will generally be the case if the guaranteed minimum death benefit exceeds the policy value at the time of surrender. It is also possible that if a death benefit is paid after you have made a partial surrender, then the total amount paid could be less than the total premium payments.
The formula used to calculate the adjusted partial surrender amount is: adjusted partial surrender = (amount of the gross partial surrender * value of the current death proceeds immediately prior to the gross partial surrender ) / policy value immediately prior to the gross surrender.
We have included a detailed explanation of this adjustment with examples in the “Appendix - Death Benefit.” This is referred to as “adjusted partial surrender” in your policy. If you have a qualified policy, minimum required distributions rules may require you to request a partial surrender.
TAX INFORMATION
NOTE: We have prepared the following information on federal taxes as a general discussion of the subject. It is not intended as tax advice to any taxpayer. The federal tax consequences discussed herein reflects our understanding of current law, and the law may change. No representation is made regarding the likelihood of continuation of the present federal tax law or of the current interpretations by the Internal Revenue Service. The discussion briefly references federal estate, gift and generation-skipping transfer taxes, but principally discusses federal income taxes. No attempt is made 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 the policy. You should consult your own tax adviser about your own circumstances.
Introduction
Deferred annuity policies are a way of setting aside money for future needs like retirement. Congress recognized how important saving for retirement is and provided special rules in the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) for annuities. Simply stated, these rules generally provide that individuals will not be taxed on the earnings, if any, on the money held in an annuity policy until withdrawn. This is referred to as tax deferral. When a non-natural person (e.g., corporation or certain trusts) owns a nonqualified policy, the policy will generally not be treated as an annuity for tax purposes. Thus, the owner must generally include in income any increase in the policy value over the investment in the policy during each taxable year.
There are different rules as to how you will be taxed depending on how you take the money out and the type of policy-qualified or nonqualified.
If you purchase the policy as an individual retirement annuity or as a part of a 403(b) plan, 457 plan, a pension plan, a profit sharing plan (including a 401(k) plan), or certain other employer sponsored retirement programs, your policy is referred to as a qualified policy. There is no additional tax deferral benefit derived from placing qualified funds into a variable annuity. Features other than tax deferral should be considered in the purchase of a qualified policy. There are limits on the amount of contributions you can make to a qualified policy. Other restrictions may apply including terms of the plan in which you participate. To the extent there is a conflict between a plan's provisions and a policy's provisions, the plan's provisions will control.
If you purchase the policy other than as part of any arrangement described in the preceding paragraph, the policy is referred to as a nonqualified policy.
You will generally not be taxed on increases in the value of your policy, whether qualified or nonqualified, until a distribution occurs (e.g., as a surrender, withdrawal, or as annuity payments). However, you may be subject to current taxation if you assign or pledge or enter into an agreement to assign or pledge any portion of the policy. You may also be subject to current taxation if you make a gift of a nonqualified policy without valuable consideration. All amounts received from the policy that are includible in income are taxed at ordinary income rates; no amounts received from the policy are taxable at the lower rates applicable to capital gains.
The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) has not reviewed the policy for qualification as an IRA annuity, and has not addressed in a ruling of general applicability whether the death benefit options and riders available, with the policy, if any, comport with IRA qualification requirements.
The value of living and death benefit options and riders elected may need to be taken into account in calculating minimum required distributions from a qualified plan/or policy.
26

We may occasionally enter into settlements with owners and beneficiaries to resolve issues relating to the policy. Such settlements will be reported on the applicable tax form (e.g., Form 1099) provided to the taxpayer and the taxing authorities.
Taxation of Us
We are at present taxed as a life insurance company under part I of Subchapter L of the Code. The separate account is treated as a part of us and, accordingly, will not be taxed separately as a “regulated investment company” under Subchapter M of the Code. We do not expect to incur any federal income tax liability with respect to investment income and net capital gains arising from the activities of the separate account retained as part of the reserves under the policy. Based on this expectation, it is anticipated that no charges will be made against the separate account for federal income taxes. If in future years, any federal income taxes are incurred by us with respect to the separate account, we may make a charge to that account. We may benefit from any dividends received or foreign tax credits attributable to taxes paid by certain underlying fund portfolios to foreign jurisdictions to the extent permitted under federal tax law.
Tax Status of a Nonqualified Policy
Diversification Requirements. In order for a nonqualified variable policy which is based on a segregated asset account to qualify as an annuity policy under Section 817(h) of the Code, the investments made by such account must be “adequately diversified” in accordance with Treasury Regulations. The Regulations apply a diversification requirement to each of the subaccounts. Each separate account, through its underlying fund portfolios and their portfolios, intends to comply with the diversification requirements of the Regulations. We have entered into agreements with each underlying fund portfolio company that require the portfolios to be operated in compliance with the Regulations but we do not have control over the underlying fund portfolio companies. The owners bear the risk that the entire contract could be disqualified as an annuity policy under the Code due to the failure of a subaccount to be deemed to be “adequately diversified.”
Owner Control. In some circumstances, owners of variable policies who retain excessive control over the investment of the underlying separate account assets may be treated as the owners of those assets and may be subject to tax on income produced by those assets. In Revenue Ruling 2003-91, the IRS stated that whether the owner of a variable policy is to be treated as the owner of the assets held by the insurance company under the policy will depend on all of the facts and circumstances.
Revenue Ruling 2003-91 also gave an example of circumstances under which the owner of a variable policy would not possess sufficient control over the assets underlying the policy to be treated as the owner of those assets for federal income tax purposes. To the extent the circumstances relating to the issuance and ownership of a policy vary from those described in Revenue Ruling 2003-91, owners bear the risk that they will be treated as the owner of Separate Account assets and taxed accordingly.
We believe that the owner of a policy should not be treated as the owner of the underlying assets. We reserve the right to modify the policies to bring them into conformity with applicable standards should such modification be necessary to prevent owners of the policies from being treated as the owners of the underlying separate account assets. Concerned owners should consult their own tax advisers regarding the tax matter discussed above.
Distribution Requirements. The Code requires that nonqualified policies contain specific provisions for distribution of policy proceeds upon the death of any owner. In order to be treated as an annuity policy for federal income tax purposes, the Code requires that such policies provide that if any owner dies on or after the annuity starting date and before the entire interest in the policy has been distributed, the remaining portion must be distributed at least as rapidly as under the method in effect on such owner's death. If any owner dies before the annuity starting date, the entire interest in the policy must generally be distributed (1) within 5 years after such owner's date of death or (2) be used to provide payments to a designated beneficiary for the life of the beneficiary or for a period not extending beyond the life expectancy of the beneficiary. The designated beneficiary must be an individual and payments must begin within one year of such owner’s death. However, if upon such owner's death the owner's surviving spouse is the sole beneficiary of the policy, then the policy may be continued with the surviving spouse as the new owner. If any owner is a non-natural person (except in the case of certain grantor trusts), then for purposes of these distribution requirements, the primary annuitant shall be treated as an owner and any death or change of such primary annuitant shall be treated as the death of an owner.
In certain instances a designated beneficiary may be permitted to elect a “stretch” withdrawal option as a means of disbursing death proceeds from a nonqualified annuity. The only method we use for making distribution payments from a nonqualified “stretch” withdrawal option is the required minimum distribution method as set forth in Revenue Ruling 2002-62. The applicable payments are calculated using the Single Life Expectancy Table set forth in Treasury Regulation § 1.401(a)(9)-9, A-1.
The nonqualified policies contain provisions intended to comply with these requirements of the Code. No regulations interpreting these requirements of the Code have yet been issued and thus no assurance can be given that the provisions contained in the policies satisfy all such Code requirements. The provisions contained in the policies will be reviewed and modified if necessary to assure that they comply with the Code requirements when clarified by regulation or otherwise.
27

Taxation of Nonqualified Annuities
The following discussion assumes the policy qualifies as an annuity policy for federal income tax purposes.
In General. Code Section 72 governs taxation of annuities in general. We believe that an owner who is an individual will not be taxed on increases in the value of a policy until such amounts are surrendered or distributed. For this purpose, the assignment, pledge, or agreement to assign or pledge any portion of the policy value as collateral for a loan generally will be treated as a distribution of such portion. You may also be subject to current taxation if you make a gift of a nonqualified policy without valuable consideration. The taxable portion of a distribution is taxable as ordinary income.
Non-Natural Persons. Pursuant to Section 72(u) of the Code, a nonqualified policy held by a taxpayer other than a natural person generally will not be treated as an annuity policy under the Code; accordingly, an owner who is not a natural person will recognize as ordinary income for a taxable year the excess, if any, of the policy value over the “investment in the contract”. There are some exceptions to this rule and a prospective purchaser of the policy that is not a natural person should discuss these rules with a competent tax adviser. A policy owned by a trust using the grantor's social security number as its taxpayer identification number will be treated as owned by the grantor (natural person) for the purposes of our application of Section 72 of the Code. Consult a tax adviser for more information on how this may impact your policy.
Different Individual Owner and Annuitant
If the owner and annuitant on the policy are different individuals, there may be negative tax consequences to the owner and/or beneficiaries under the policy if the annuitant predeceases the owner including, but not limited, to the assessment of penalty tax and the loss of certain death benefit distribution options. You may wish to consult your legal counsel or tax adviser if you are considering designating a different individual as the annuitant on your policy to determine the potential tax ramifications of such a designation.
Annuity Starting Date
This section makes reference to the annuity starting date as defined in Section 72 of the Code and the applicable regulations. Generally, the definition of annuity starting date will correspond with the definition of annuity commencement date used in your policy and the dates will be the same. However, in certain circumstances, your annuity starting date and annuity commencement date will not be the same date. If there is a conflict between the definitions, we will interpret and apply the definitions in order to ensure your policy maintains its status as an annuity policy for federal income tax purposes. You may wish to consult a tax adviser for more information on when this issue may arise.
It is possible that at certain advanced ages a policy might no longer be treated as an annuity contract if the policy has not been annuitized before that age or have other tax consequences. You should consult with a tax adviser about the tax consequences in such circumstances.
Taxation of Annuity Payments
Although the tax consequences may vary depending on the annuity payment option you select, in general, for nonqualified and certain qualified policies, only a portion of the annuity payments you receive will be includable in your gross income.
In general, the excludable portion of each annuity payment you receive will be determined as follows:
Fixed payments-by dividing the “investment in the policy” on the annuity starting date by the total expected return under the policy (determined under Treasury regulations) for the term of the payments. This is the percentage of each annuity payment that is excludable.
Variable payments-by dividing the “investment in the policy” on the annuity starting date by the total number of expected periodic payments. This is the amount of each annuity payment that is excludable.
The remainder of each annuity payment is includable in gross income. Once the “investment in the policy” has been fully recovered, the full amount of any additional annuity payments is includable in gross income and taxed as ordinary income. The “investment in the policy” is generally equal to the premiums you pay for the policy, reduced by any amounts you have previously received from the policy that are excludible from gross income.
If you select more than one annuity payment option, special rules govern the allocation of the policy's entire “investment in the policy” to each such option, for purposes of determining the excludable amount of each payment received under that option. We advise you to consult a competent tax adviser as to the potential tax effects of allocating amounts to any particular annuity payment option.
28

If, after the annuity starting date, annuity payments stop because an annuitant died, the excess (if any) of the “investment in the policy” as of the annuity starting date over the aggregate amount of annuity payments received that was excluded from gross income may possibly be allowable as a deduction on your tax return.
Taxation of Surrenders and Partial Withdrawals - Nonqualified Policies
When you surrender your policy, you are generally taxed on the amount that your surrender proceeds exceeds the “investment in the policy”. The “investment in the policy” is generally equal to the premiums you pay for the policy, reduced by any amounts you have previously received from the policy that are excludible from gross income. Partial withdrawals are generally treated first as taxable income to the extent of the excess in the policy value over the “investment in the policy.” Distributions made under the systematic payout option are treated for tax purposes as partial withdrawal, not annuity payments. In general, loans, pledges, and collateral assignments as security for a loan are taxed in the same manner as partial withdrawals and surrenders. You may also be subject to current taxation if you make a gift of a nonqualified policy without valuable consideration. All taxable amounts received under a policy are subject to tax at ordinary rather than capital gain tax rates.
If your policy contains an excess interest adjustment feature (also known as a market value adjustment), then your policy value immediately before a policy withdrawal (or transaction taxed like a withdrawal) may have to be increased by any positive excess interest adjustments that result from the transaction. There is, however, no definitive guidance on the proper tax treatment of excess interest adjustments, and you may want to discuss the potential tax consequences of an excess interest adjustment with your tax adviser.
The Code also provides that amounts received from the policy that are includible in gross income (including the taxable portion of some annuity payments) may be subject to a penalty tax. The amount of the penalty tax is equal to 10% of the amount that is includable in income. Some surrender withdrawals and other amounts will be exempt from the penalty tax. Amounts received that are not subject to the penalty tax include, among others, any amounts: (1) paid on or after the taxpayer reaches age 59½; (2) paid after an owner (or where the owner is a non-natural person, an annuitant) dies; (3) paid if the taxpayer becomes disabled (as that term is defined in the Code); (4) paid in a series of substantially equal payments made annually (or more frequently) over the life of the taxpayer or the joint life of the taxpayer and the taxpayer's designated beneficiary; (5) paid under an immediate annuity; or (6) which come from premium payments made prior to August 14, 1982. Regarding the disability exception, because we cannot verify that the owner is disabled, we will report such withdrawals to the IRS as early withdrawals with no known exception from the penalty tax.
Other exceptions may be applicable under certain circumstances and special rules may be applicable in connection with the exceptions enumerated above. You may wish to consult a tax adviser for more information regarding the imposition of penalty tax.
Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefits
For policies with a guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit or a guaranteed maximum accumulation benefit the application of certain tax rules, particularly those rules relating to distributions from your policy, are not entirely clear. It is possible that the withdrawal base (with respect to the guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefits) and the guaranteed future value (with respect to the guaranteed maximum accumulation benefit) could be taken into account to determine the policy value that is used to calculate the amount of the distribution that would be included in income. The proper treatment of the Income Enhancement Option under a guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit is unclear. It is possible that the IRS could determine that the benefit provides some form of long term care insurance. In that event, (1) you could be treated as in receipt of some amount of income attributable to the value of the benefit even though you have not received a payment from your policy, and (2) the amount of income attributable to guaranteed lifetime withdrawal payments could be affected. In view of this uncertainty, you should consult a tax adviser with any questions.
Aggregation
All nonqualified deferred annuity policies that are issued by us (or our affiliates) to the same owner (policyholder) during any calendar year are treated as one annuity for purposes of determining the amount includable in the owner's income when a taxable distribution (other than annuity payments) occurs. If you are considering purchasing multiple policies from us (or our affiliates) during the same calendar year, you may wish to consult with your tax adviser regarding how aggregation will apply to your policies.
Tax-Free Exchanges of Nonqualified Policies
We may issue the nonqualified policy in exchange for all or part of another annuity contract that you own. Such an exchange will be tax free if certain requirements are satisfied. If the exchange is tax free, your investment in the policy immediately after the exchange will generally be the same as that of the annuity contract exchanged, increased by any additional premium payment made as part of
29

the exchange. Your policy value immediately after the exchange may exceed your investment in the policy. That excess may be includable in income should amounts subsequently be withdrawn or distributed from the policy (e.g., as a partial withdrawal, surrender, annuity income payment or death benefit).
If you exchange part of an existing contract for the policy, and within 180 days of the exchange you received a payment other than certain annuity payments (e.g., you make a partial withdrawal) from either contract, the exchange may not be treated as a tax free exchange. Rather, some or all of the amount exchanged into the policy could be includible in your income and subject to a 10% penalty tax.
You should consult your tax adviser in connection with an exchange of all or part of an annuity contract for the policy, especially if you may make a withdrawal from either contract within 180 days after the exchange.
Medicare Tax
Distributions from nonqualified annuity policies are considered “investment income” for purposes of the 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, trusts, and estates whose income exceeds certain threshold amounts. We are required to report distributions made from nonqualified annuity policies as being potentially subject to this tax. While distributions from qualified policies are not subject to the tax, such distributions may be includable in income for purposes of determining whether certain Medicare Tax thresholds have been met. As such, distributions from your qualified policy could cause your other investment income to be subject to the tax. Please consult a tax adviser for more information.
Same Sex Relationships
Section 3 of the Federal Defense of Marriage Act was ruled unconstitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court. The Internal Revenue Service adopted a rule in response thereto recognizing the marriage of same sex individuals validly entered into in a jurisdiction that authorizes same sex marriages, even if the individuals are domiciled in a jurisdiction that does not recognize the marriage. The Internal Revenue Service also ruled that the term “spouse” does not include an individual who has entered into a registered domestic partnership, civil union, or other similar relationship that is not denominated as a marriage under the laws of that jurisdiction. We intend to administer the policy consistent with these rulings until further guidance is provided. Therefore, exercise of the spousal continuation provisions of this policy or any riders by persons who do not meet the definition of “spouse” under federal law e.g., domestic and civil union partners may have adverse tax consequences and/or may not be permissible.
Please note the jurisdiction where you are domiciled may not recognize same sex marriage which may limit your ability to take advantage of certain benefits provided to spouses under the policy. There are several unanswered questions regarding the scope and impact of the Supreme Court’s decision and the subsequent guidance provided by the Internal Revenue Service. Please consult a tax adviser for more information on this subject.
Taxation of Death Benefit Proceeds
Amounts may be distributed from the policy because of your death or the death of the annuitant. Generally, such amounts should be includable in the income of the recipient: (1) if distributed in a lump sum, these amounts are taxed in the same manner as a surrender; (2) if distributed via partial withdrawals, these amounts are taxed in the same manner as partial surrenders; or (3) if distributed under an annuity payment option, these amounts are taxed in the same manner as annuity payments.
Transfers, Assignments or Exchanges of Policies
A transfer of ownership or assignment of a policy, the designation of an annuitant or payee or other beneficiary who is not also the owner, the exchange of a policy and certain other transactions, or a change of annuitant other than the owner, may result in certain income or gift tax consequences to the owner that are beyond the scope of this discussion. An owner contemplating any such transaction or designation should contact a competent tax adviser with respect to the potential tax effects.
Charges
It is possible that the IRS may take a position that fees for certain optional benefits (e.g., death benefits other than the Return of Premium death benefit) are deemed to be taxable distributions to you. In particular, the IRS may treat fees associated with certain optional benefits as a taxable partial withdrawal, which might also be subject to a tax penalty if the partial withdrawal occurs prior to age 59½. Although we do not believe that the fees associated with any optional benefit provided under the policy should be treated as taxable partial withdrawal, the tax rules associated with these benefits are unclear, and we advise that you consult your tax adviser prior to selecting any optional benefit under the policy.

Federal Estate, Gift and Generation-Skipping Transfer Taxes
Beginning in 2013, the federal estate tax, gift tax and generation-skipping transfer (“GST”) tax exemptions and maximum rates are $5,000,000 indexed for inflation and 40% respectively.
The uncertainty as to how the current law might be modified in the future underscores the importance of seeking guidance from a competent adviser to help ensure that your estate plan adequately addresses your needs and that of your beneficiaries under all possible scenarios.
Federal Estate Taxes. While no attempt is being made to discuss the Federal estate tax implications of the policy in detail, a purchaser should keep in mind that the value of an annuity policy 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 policy, 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. Consult an estate planning adviser 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 policy 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 policy, or from any applicable payment, and pay it directly to the IRS.
Qualified Policies
The qualified policy is designed for use with several types of tax-qualified retirement plans which are briefly described below. The tax rules applicable to participants and beneficiaries in tax-qualified retirement plans vary according to the type of plan and the terms and conditions of the plan. Special favorable tax treatment may be available for certain types of contributions and distributions. Adverse tax consequences may result from contributions in excess of specified limits, distributions prior to age 59½ (subject to certain exceptions), distributions that do not conform to specified commencement and minimum distribution rules, and in other specified circumstances. The distribution rules under Section 72(s) of the Code do not apply to annuities provided under a plan described in Sections 401(a), 403(a), 403(b), 408 or 408A of the Code, but other similar rules may. Some retirement plans are subject to distribution and other requirements that are not incorporated into the policies or our policy administration procedures. Owners, employers, participants, and beneficiaries are responsible for determining that contributions, distributions, and other transactions with respect to the policies comply with applicable law.
Traditional Individual Retirement Annuities. In order to qualify as a traditional individual retirement annuity under Section 408(b) of the Code, a policy must satisfy certain conditions: (i) the owner must be the annuitant; (ii) the policy generally is not transferable by the owner, e.g., the owner may not designate a new owner, designate a contingent owner or assign the policy as collateral security; (iii) subject to special rules, the total premium payments for any calendar year may not exceed the amount specified in the Code for the year, except in the case of a rollover amount or contribution under Section 402(c), 402(e)(6), 403(a)(4), 403(b)(8), 403(b)(10), 408(d)(3) or 457(e)(16) of the Code; (iv) annuity payments or partial surrenders according to the requirements in the IRS regulations (minimum required distributions) must begin no later than April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the annuitant attains age 70½; (v) an annuity payment option with a period certain that will guarantee annuity payments beyond the life expectancy of the annuitant and the beneficiary may not be selected; (vi) certain payments of death benefits must be made in the event the annuitant dies prior to the distribution of the policy value; (vii) the entire interest of the owner is non-forfeitable; and (viii) the premiums must not be fixed. Policies intended to qualify as traditional individual retirement annuities under Section 408(b) of the Code contain such provisions. Amounts in the individual retirement annuity (other than nondeductible contributions) generally are taxed only when distributed from the annuity. Distributions prior to age 59½ (unless certain exceptions apply) are subject to a 10% penalty tax.
SIMPLE and SEP IRAs are types of IRAs that allow employers to contribute to IRAs on behalf of their employees. SIMPLE IRAs permit certain small employers to establish SIMPLE plans as provided by section 408(p) of the Code, under which employees may elect to defer to a SIMPLE IRA a specified percentage of compensation. The sponsoring employer is required to make matching or non-elective contributions on behalf of employees. Distributions from SIMPLE IRAs are subject to the same restrictions that apply to IRA distributions. Subject to certain exceptions, distributions prior to age 59½ are subject to a 10 percent penalty tax, which is increased to 25 percent if the distribution occurs within the first two years after the commencement of the employee's participation in the plan. SEP IRAs permit employers to make contributions to IRAs on behalf of their employees, up to a specified dollar amount for the year and subject to certain eligibility requirements as provided by Section 408(k) of the Code. Distributions from SEP IRAs are subject to the same rules that apply to IRA distributions and are taxed as ordinary income.
The IRS has not reviewed this policy for qualification as a traditional IRA, SIMPLE IRA or SEP IRA, and has not addressed in a ruling of general applicability whether any death benefits available under the policy comport with qualification requirements.
31

Roth Individual Retirement Annuities (Roth IRA). The Roth IRA, under Section 408A of the Code, contains many of the same provisions as a traditional IRA. However, there are some differences. First, the contributions are not deductible and must be made in cash or as a rollover or transfer from another Roth IRA, a traditional IRA or other allowed qualified plan. A rollover from or conversion of an IRA to a Roth IRA may be subject to tax. The ability to make cash contributions to Roth IRAs is available to individuals with earned income and whose modified adjusted gross income is under a specified dollar amount for the year. Subject to special rules, the amount per individual that may be contributed to all IRAs (Roth and traditional) is an amount specified in the Code for the year. Secondly, the distributions are taxed differently. The Roth IRA offers tax-free distributions when made 5 tax years after the first contribution to any Roth IRA of the individual and made after one of the following: attaining age 59½, to pay for qualified first time home buyer expenses (lifetime maximum of $10,000), or due to death or disability. All other distributions are subject to income tax when made from earnings and may be subject to a penalty tax unless an exception applies. Please note that specific tax ordering rules apply to Roth IRA distributions. Unlike the traditional IRA, there are no minimum required distributions during the owner's lifetime; however, minimum required distributions at death are generally the same as for traditional IRAs.
The IRS has not reviewed this policy for qualification as a ROTH IRA, and has not addressed in a ruling of general applicability whether any death benefits available under the policy comport with qualification requirements.
Section 403(b) Plans. Under Section 403(b) of the Code, payments made by public school systems and certain tax exempt organizations to purchase policies for their employees are generally excludable from the gross income of the employee, subject to certain limitations. However, such payments may be subject to Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA or Social Security) taxes. The policy includes a death benefit that in some cases may exceed the greater of the premium payments or the policy value. Additionally, in accordance with the requirements of the Code, Section 403(b) annuities generally may not permit distribution of (i) elective contributions made in years beginning after December 31, 1988, and (ii) earnings on those contributions, and (iii) earnings on amounts attributed to elective contributions held as of the end of the last year beginning before January 1, 1989, unless certain events have occurred. Specifically distributions of such amounts will be allowed only upon the death of the employee, on or after attainment of age 59½, severance from employment, disability, or financial hardship, except that income attributable to elective contributions may not be distributed in the case of hardship. These rules may prevent the payment of guaranteed withdrawals under a guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit prior to age 59½. For policies issued after 2008, amounts attributable to non-elective contributions may be subject to distribution restrictions specified in the employer's section 403(b) plan. Employers using the policy in connection with Section 403(b) plans may wish to consult with their tax adviser.
Pursuant to tax regulations, we generally are required to confirm, with your 403(b) plan sponsor or otherwise, that surrenders, loans or transfers you request from a 403(b) policy comply with applicable tax requirements before we process your request. We will defer such payments you request until all information required under the tax law has been received. By requesting a surrender or transfer, you consent to the sharing of confidential information about you, the policy, and transactions under the policy and any other 403(b) policies or accounts you have under the 403(b) plan among us, your employer or plan sponsor, any plan administrator or record keeper, and other product providers.
Pension and Profit-Sharing Plans. Sections 401(a) and 403(a) of the Code permit employers to establish various types of retirement plans for employees and self-employed individuals to establish qualified plans for themselves and their employees. Such retirement plans may permit the purchase of the policies to accumulate retirement savings. Adverse tax consequences to the plan, the participant or both may result if the policy is assigned or transferred to any individual as a means to provide benefit payments. Contributions to and distributions from such plans are limited by the Code and may be subject to penalties.
Deferred Compensation Plans. Section 457(b) of the Code, while not actually providing for a qualified plan as that term is normally used, provides for certain deferred compensation plans established and maintained by state and local governments (and their agencies and instrumentalities) and tax exempt organizations. Under such plans a participant may be able to specify the form of investment in which his or her participation will be made. For non-governmental Section 457(b) plans, all such investments, however, are typically owned by, and are subject to, the claims of the general creditors of the sponsoring employer. Depending on the terms of the particular plan, a non-government employer may be entitled to draw on deferred amounts for purposes unrelated to its Section 457(b) plan obligations. In general, all amounts received under a non-governmental Section 457 plan are taxable in the year paid (or in the year paid or made available in the case of a non-governmental 457(b) plan). Distributions from non-governmental 457(b) plans are subject to federal income tax withholding as wages, distributions from governmental 457(b) plans are subject to withholding as “eligible rollover distributions” as described in the section entitled “Withholding.” below. Contributions to and distributions from such plans are limited by the Code and may be subject to penalties. Deferred compensation plans of governments and tax-exempt entities that do not meet the requirements of Section 457(b) are taxed under Section 457(f), which means compensation deferred under the plan is included in gross income in the first year in which the compensation is not subject to substantial risk of forfeiture.

Ineligible Owners-Qualified
We currently will not issue new policies to/or for the following plans: 403(a), 403(b), 412(i)/412(e)(3), 419, 457 (we will in certain limited circumstances accept 457(f) plans), employee stock ownership plans, Keogh/H.R.-10 plans and any other types of plans at our sole discretion.
Taxation of Surrenders and Partial Withdrawals - Qualified Policies
In the case of a withdrawal under a qualified policy (other than from a deferred compensation plan under Section 457 of the Code), a pro rata portion of the amount you receive is taxable, generally based on the ratio of your “investment in the policy” to your total account balance or accrued benefit under the retirement plan. Your “investment in the policy” generally equals the amount of any non-deductible premium payments made by you or on your behalf. If you do not have any non-deductible premium payments, your investment in the contract will be treated as zero.
In addition, a penalty tax may be assessed on amounts surrendered from the policy prior to the date you reach age 59½, unless you meet one of the exceptions to this rule which are similar to the penalty exceptions for distributions from nonqualified policies discussed above. However, the exceptions applicable for qualified policies differ from those provided to nonqualified policies. You may wish to consult a tax adviser for more information regarding the application of these exceptions to your circumstances. You may also be required to begin taking minimum distributions from the policy by a certain date. The terms of the plan may limit the rights otherwise available to you under the policy.
Qualified Plan Required Distributions
For qualified plans under Section 401(a), 403(a), 403(b), and 457, the Code requires that distributions generally must commence no later than the later of April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the owner (or plan participant) (i) reaches age 70½ or (ii) retires, and must be made in a specified form or manner. If a participant is a “5 percent owner” (as defined in the Code), or in the case of an IRA (other than a Roth IRA which is not subject to the lifetime required minimum distribution rules), distributions generally must begin no later than April 1 of the year following the calendar year in which the owner (or plan participant) reaches age 70½. The actuarial present value of death and/or living benefit options and riders elected may need to be taken into account in calculating minimum required distributions. Consult a competent tax adviser before purchasing an optional living or death benefit.
Each owner is responsible for requesting distributions under the policy that satisfy applicable tax rules. We do not attempt to provide more than general information about the use of the policy with the various types of retirement plans. Purchasers of policies for use with any retirement plan should consult their legal counsel and tax adviser regarding the suitability of the policy.
The Code generally requires that interest in a qualified policy be non-forfeitable. If your policy contains a bonus rider with a recapture, forfeiture, or “vesting” feature, it may not be consistent with those requirements. Consult a tax adviser before purchasing a bonus rider as part of a qualified policy.
You should consult your legal counsel or tax adviser if you are considering purchasing an enhanced death benefit or other optional rider, or if you are considering purchasing a policy for use with any qualified retirement plan or arrangement.
Optional Living Benefits
For policies with a guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit or a guaranteed maximum accumulation benefit the application of certain tax rules, particularly those rules relating to distributions from your policy, are not entirely clear. The tax rules for qualified policies may impact the value of these optional benefits. Additionally, the actions of the qualified plan as contract holder may cause the qualified plan participant to lose the benefit of the guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit. In view of this uncertainty, you should consult a tax adviser before purchasing this policy as a qualified policy.
Withholding
The portion of any distribution under a policy that is includable in gross income will be subject to federal income tax withholding unless the recipient of such distribution elects not to have federal income tax withheld. Election forms will be provided at the time distributions are requested or made. The amount of withholding varies according to the type of distribution. The withholding rates applicable to the taxable portion of periodic payments (other than eligible rollover distributions) are the same as the withholding rates generally applicable to payments of wages. A 10% withholding rate applies to the taxable portion of non-periodic payments. Regardless of whether you elect not to have federal income tax withheld, you are still liable for payment of federal income tax on the taxable portion of the payment. For qualified policies taxable, “eligible rollover distributions” from Section 401(a) plans, Section 403(a) annuities, Section 403(b) tax-sheltered annuities, and governmental 457 plans are subject to a mandatory federal income tax
33

withholding of 20%. An eligible rollover distribution is any distribution from such a plan, other than specified distributions such as distributions required by the Code, distributions in a specified annuity form or hardship distributions. The 20% withholding does not apply, however, to nontaxable distributions or if (i) the employee (or employee's spouse or former spouse as beneficiary or alternate payee) chooses a “direct rollover” from the plan to a tax-qualified plan, IRA, Roth IRA or 403(b) tax-sheltered annuity or to a governmental 457 plan that agrees to separately account for rollover contributions; or (ii) a non-spouse beneficiary chooses a “direct rollover” from the plan to an IRA established by the direct rollover.
Annuity Purchases by Residents of Puerto Rico
The IRS has announced that income received by residents of Puerto Rico under life insurance or annuity policies 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 Policies Purchased by Non-resident Aliens and Foreign Corporations
The discussion above provided general information (but not tax advice) regarding U.S. federal income tax consequences to annuity owners that are U.S. persons. Taxable distributions made to owners who are not U.S. persons will generally be subject to U.S. federal income tax withholding at a 30% rate, unless a lower treaty rate applies. In addition, distributions may be subject to state and/or municipal taxes and taxes that may be imposed by the owner's country of citizenship or residence. Prospective foreign owners are advised to consult with a qualified tax adviser regarding U.S., state, and foreign taxation for any annuity policy purchase.
Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”)
If the payee of a distribution from the policy is a foreign financial institution (“FFI”) or a non-financial foreign entity (“NFFE”) within the meaning of the Code as amended by the Foreign Account tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”), the distribution could be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax on the taxable amount of the distribution at a 30% rate irrespective of the status of any beneficial owner of the policy or the distribution. The rules relating to FATCA are complex, and a tax adviser should be consulted if an FFI or NFFE is or may be designated as a payee with respect to the policy.
Possible Tax Law Changes
Although the likelihood of legislative or regulatory changes is uncertain, there is always the possibility that the tax treatment of the policy could change by legislation, regulation, or otherwise. You should consult a tax adviser with respect to legal or regulatory developments and their effect on the policy.
We have the right to modify the policy to meet the requirements of any applicable laws or regulations, including legislative changes that could otherwise diminish the favorable tax treatment that annuity owners currently receive.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES
Systematic Payout Option
You can select at any time during the accumulation phase to receive regular withdrawals from your policy by using the systematic payout option. Any systematic withdrawal in excess of the cumulative interest credited from the guaranteed period options at the time of the withdrawal may be subject to an excess interest adjustment. Any systematic withdrawal in excess of your remaining surrender charge free amount may be subject to a surrender charge. Any systematic withdrawal in excess of the remaining rider withdrawal amount could affect your rider values (if elected). Systematic withdrawals can be made monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually. Each withdrawal must be at least $50. Monthly and quarterly systematic withdrawals must generally be made by electronic funds transfer directly to your checking or savings account. There is no charge for this benefit.
Keep in mind that withdrawals under the systematic payout option may be taxable, and if made before age 59½, may be subject to a 10% federal penalty tax.
Liquidity Rider
The optional Liquidity Rider (only available with the B-Share) reduces the number of years each premium payment is subject to surrender charges. You can only elect this rider at the time you purchase the policy.
Surrender Charge Schedule. The Liquidity Rider reduces the number of years each premium payment is subject to surrender charges from seven years to four years. The surrender charge will remain unchanged from that of the B-Share for the first four years.
34

Rider Fee. There is an additional charge for this rider which is a percentage of the daily net asset value in the separate account which is deducted in calculating the accumulation unit values. The rider fee is only charged for the first four policy years.
Accumulation Unit Values. We intend to administer the removal of the Liquidity Rider fee by changing to a different class of accumulation units. This will result in adjusting the number of accumulation units and adjusting the unit value of the subaccounts in which you were invested once the Liquidity Rider fee is no longer charged. The elimination of the fee and the adjustment in the number of accumulation units and unit values will not affect policy values.
Termination. The rider is irrevocable.
Please note:
This feature terminates upon annuitization and there is a mandatory annuity commencement date.
We may credit interest in the fixed account (if available) at a lower rate if you select this rider.
The Liquidity Rider may vary for certain policies and may not be available for all policies, in all states, at all times or through all financial intermediaries. We may discontinue offering this benefit at any time. In some cases, a benefit not available through a financial intermediary may be obtained by contacting us directly. For more information on the options available for electing a benefit, please contact your financial intermediary or our Administrative Office.
Additional Death Distribution
The optional Additional Death Distribution rider pays an additional amount (based on rider earnings, if any, since the rider was issued) when a death benefit is payable during the accumulation phase under your policy, in certain circumstances. The Additional Death Distribution is only available for issue ages through age 80. The Additional Death Distribution is only available with the Return of Premium Death Benefit or the Annual Step-Up Death Benefit. Please Note: This rider may not be issued or added to Inherited IRAs (sometimes also referred to as beneficiary IRAs) or a nonqualified annuity under which death benefits are being distributed under a stretch withdrawal option. The Additional Death Distribution benefit is based on our claims-paying ability.
Additional Death Distribution Benefit Amount. The Additional Death Distribution is payable only if you elected the rider prior to the death triggering the payment of the policy death benefit and a death benefit is payable under the policy. The Additional Death Distribution is equal to:
the Additional Death Distribution factor (see below); multiplied by
the rider earnings, if any, on the date the death benefit is calculated.
Rider earnings are policy gains accrued and not previously withdrawn since the rider date. This amount is equal to the current policy value minus the policy value on the rider date minus premiums paid after the rider date plus amounts withdrawn after the rider date that exceed rider earnings on the date of the withdrawal. No benefit is payable under the Additional Death Distribution rider if there are no rider earnings on the date the death benefit is calculated.
If you purchase your policy as part of a 1035 exchange or add the Additional Death Distribution rider after you purchase the policy, rider earnings do not include any gains before the 1035 exchange or the date the Additional Death Distribution is added to your policy.
The Additional Death Distribution factor is 40% for issue ages under 71 and 25% for issue ages 71-80, based on the annuitant’s age.
No benefit is paid under the rider unless (a) the rider is in force, (b) a death benefit is payable on the policy, and (c) there are rider earnings when the death benefit is calculated.
For purposes of computing taxable gains, both the death benefit payable under the policy and the Additional Death Distribution will be considered.
Please see “Appendix - Additional Death Distribution Rider” for an example which illustrates the Additional Death Distribution payable as well as the effect of a partial surrender on the Additional Death Distribution benefit amount.
Spousal Continuation. If a spouse is eligible to and elects to continue the policy as the new owner instead of receiving a death benefit and Additional Death Distribution, the spouse will generally receive a one-time policy value increase equal to the Additional Death Distribution. At this time the rider will terminate. The spouse will have the option of immediately re-electing the rider through age 80 if the Additional Death Distribution benefit is still being offered. Certain owners may have the option to continue the rider without receiving the one-time policy value increase. See TAX INFORMATION - Tax Status of a Nonqualified Policy - Distribution Requirements. (The payment of a death benefit under the policy is triggered by the death of the annuitant.)
35

Rider Fee. There is an additional charge for this rider which is a percentage of the policy value which is deducted annually on each rider anniversary prior to annuitization. We will also deduct this fee upon full surrender of the policy or other termination of the rider. The rider fee is deducted pro rata from each investment option. The fee is deducted even during periods when the Additional Death Distribution would not pay any benefit (because there are no rider earnings).
Termination. The rider will remain in effect until:
you cancel it by notifying our Administrative Office in writing,
the policy is annuitized or surrendered,
the policy value becomes zero, or
the Additional Death Distribution is paid or added to the policy value under a spousal continuation.
Once terminated, the Additional Death Distribution may be re-elected if still being offered; however, a new rider will be issued and the additional death benefit will be re-determined. Please note that if the rider is terminated and then re-elected, it will only cover gains, if any, since it was re-elected and the terms of the new rider may be different than the terminated rider.
Please note: This feature terminates upon annuitization and there is a maximum annuity commencement date.
The Additional Death Distribution may vary for certain policies and may not be available for all policies, in all states, at all times or through all financial intermediaries. We may discontinue offering this benefit at any time. In some cases, a benefit not available through a financial intermediary may be obtained by contacting us directly. For more information on the options available for electing a benefit, please contact your financial intermediary or our Administrative Office.
Additional Death Distribution+
The optional Additional Death Distribution+ rider pays an additional amount (based on the benefit base) when a death benefit is payable during the accumulation phase under your policy, in certain circumstances. The Additional Death Distribution+ is only available for issue ages through age 75. The Additional Death Distribution + is only available with the Return of Premium Death Benefit or the Annual Step-Up Death Benefit. Please Note: This rider may not be issued or added to Inherited IRAs (sometimes also referred to as beneficiary IRAs) or a nonqualified annuity under which death benefits are being distributed under a stretch withdrawal option. The Additional Death Distribution+ benefit is based on our claims-paying ability.
Additional Death Distribution+ Benefit Amount. An additional death benefit is only payable if a death benefit is paid on the base policy to which the rider is attached. The amount of the additional benefit is dependent on the amount of time that has passed since the rider date as follows:
If a death benefit is payable within the first five years after the rider date, the additional benefit amount will be equal to the sum of all Additional Death Distribution+ rider fees paid since the rider date.
If a death benefit is payable after five years following the rider date, the additional benefit will be equal to the rider benefit base multiplied by the rider benefit percentage.
The rider benefit base at any time is equal to the policy value less any premium payments added after the rider date.
The rider benefit percentage may vary but equals 30% for issue ages 0 - 70 and 20% for issue ages 71 - 75, based on the annuitant’s age.
No benefit is payable under the Additional Death Distribution+ if the policy value on the date the death benefit is paid is less than the premium payments after the rider date.
For purposes of computing taxable gains, both the death benefit payable under the policy and the additional benefit will be considered.
Please see “Appendix - Additional Death Distribution+” for an example that illustrates the additional death benefit payable as well as the effect of a partial surrender on the Additional Death Distribution+ benefit amount.
Spousal Continuation. If a spouse is eligible to and elects to continue the policy as the new owner instead of receiving the death benefit and Additional Death Distribution+, then the spouse will generally receive a one-time policy value increase equal to the Additional Death Distribution+. At this time the rider will terminate. The spouse will have the option of immediately re-electing the rider through age 75 if the Additional Death Distribution+ benefit is still being offered. Certain owners may have the option to continue the rider without receiving the one-time policy value increase. See TAX INFORMATION - Tax Status of a Nonqualified Policy - Distribution Requirements. (The payment of a death benefit under the policy is triggered by the death of the annuitant.)
36

Rider Fee. There is an additional charge for this rider which is a percentage of the policy value which, is deducted annually on each rider anniversary prior to annuitization. We will also deduct this fee upon full surrender of the policy or other termination of the rider.
Please note: The rider fee is deducted pro rata from each investment option. The fee is deducted even during periods when the rider would not pay any benefits.
Termination. The rider will remain in effect until:
you cancel it by notifying our Administrative Office in writing in good order,
the policy is annuitized or surrendered,
the policy value becomes zero, or
the additional death benefit is paid or added to the policy value under a spousal continuation.
If terminated no more than 90 days after policy issue, you may re-elect the Additional Death Distribution+ if it is still being offered, immediately. However, if it is terminated more than 90 days after the policy issue date, the Additional Death Distribution+ may not be re-elected, if it is still being offered, for one year. Please note that if the rider is terminated and then re-elected, the new rider will have its own fees, benefits and features as well as a new rider date which may affect the rider benefit.
Please note: This feature terminates upon annuitization and there is a maximum annuity commencement date.
The Additional Death Distribution+ may vary for certain policies and may not be available for all policies, in all states, at all times or through all financial intermediaries. We may discontinue offering this benefit at any time. In some cases, a benefit not available through a financial intermediary may be obtained by contacting us directly. For more information on the options available for electing a benefit, please contact your financial intermediary or our Administrative Office.
Nursing Care and Terminal Condition Waiver
No surrender charges or excess interest adjustments will apply if you make a surrender ($1,000 minimum), under certain circumstances, because you or your spouse has been:
confined in a hospital or nursing facility for 30 days in a row after the policy issue date; or
diagnosed with a terminal condition after the policy issue date (usually a life expectancy of 12 months or less).
You may exercise this benefit at any time during the accumulation phase. This benefit is also available to the annuitant or annuitant's spouse if the owner is not a natural person. There is no restriction on the maximum amount you may surrender under this benefit. There is no charge for this benefit.
The Nursing Care and Terminal Condition Waiver may vary for certain policies and may not be available for all policies, in all states or at all times.
Unemployment Waiver
No surrender charges or excess interest adjustments will apply to surrenders after you or your spouse become unemployed in certain circumstances (e.g., because you were terminated, laid off, or otherwise lost your job involuntarily). In order to qualify, you (or your spouse, whichever is applicable) must have been:
employed full time for at least two years prior to becoming unemployed;
employed full time on the policy date;
unemployed for at least 60 days in a row at the time of surrender;
must have a minimum cash value at the time of surrender of $5,000; and
you (or your spouse) must be receiving unemployment benefits.
You must provide written proof from your State's Department of Labor, which verifies that you qualify for and are receiving unemployment benefits at the time of surrender.
You may use this benefit at any time during the accumulation phase. This benefit is also available to the annuitant or annuitant's spouse if the owner is not a natural person. There is no restriction on the maximum amount you may surrender under this benefit. There is no charge for this benefit.
The Unemployment Waiver may vary for certain policies and may not be available for all policies, in all states or at all times.
37

Telephone and Electronic Transactions
Currently, certain transactions may be made by telephone or other electronic means acceptable to us upon our receipt of the appropriate authorization. We may discontinue this option at any time. To access information and perform transactions electronically, we require you to create an account with a username and password, and to maintain a valid e-mail address.
We will not be liable for following instructions communicated by telephone or electronically we reasonably believe to be genuine. We will employ reasonable procedures to confirm that instructions we receive are genuine. Our procedures require you to provide information to verify your identity when you call us and we will record conversations with you. We may also require written confirmation of the request. When someone contacts our Administrative Office and follows our procedures, we will assume you are authorizing us to act upon those instructions. For electronic transactions through the internet, you will need to provide your username and password. You are responsible for keeping your password confidential and must notify us of any loss, theft or unauthorized use of your password.
Telephone and other electronic transactions must be received while the New York Stock Exchange is open for regular trading to get same-day pricing of the transaction. Please note that the telephone and/or electronic devices may not always be available. Any telephone, fax machine or other electronic device, whether it is yours, your service provider's, or your financial representative's can experience outages or slowdowns for a variety of reasons. These outages or slowdowns may delay or prevent our processing of your request if the volume of transactions is unusually high, we might not have anyone available, or lines available, to take your transaction. Although we have taken precautions to limit these problems, we cannot promise complete reliability under all circumstances. If you are experiencing problems, you should make your request by writing to our Administrative Office.
We reserve the right to revoke your telephone and other electronic transaction privileges at any time without revoking all owners' privileges. We may deny telephone and electronic transaction privileges to market timers or disruptive traders.
Dollar Cost Averaging Program
During the accumulation phase, you may instruct us to automatically make transfers into one or more variable subaccounts in accordance with your allocation instructions. This is known as Dollar Cost Averaging. While Dollar Cost Averaging buys more accumulation units when prices are low and fewer accumulation units when prices are high, it does not guarantee profits or assure that you will not experience a loss.
Dollar Cost Averaging programs that may be available under your policy:
TraditionalYou may specify the dollar amount to be transferred or the number of transfers. Transfers will begin as soon as the program is started. A minimum of $500 per transfer is required. The minimum number of transfers is 6 monthly transfers or 4 quarterly transfers, and the maximum is 24 monthly transfers or 8 quarterly transfers. You can elect to transfer from the fixed account, money market or other specified subaccount.
Special You may only elect either a six or twelve month program. Transfers will begin as soon as the program is started. You cannot transfer from another investment option into a Special Dollar Cost Averaging program. This program is only available for new premium payments, requires transfers from a fixed source, and may credit a higher or lower interest rate than a traditional program. A minimum of $500 per transfer is required ($3,000 or $6,000 to start a 6-month or 12-month program, respectively).
A Dollar Cost Averaging program will begin once we have received in good order all necessary information and the minimum required amount. See OTHER INFORMATION - Sending Forms and Transaction Requests in Good Order. Please note: Dollar Cost Averaging programs will not begin on the 29th, 30th, or 31st. If a program would have started on one of those dates, it will start on the 1st market day of the following month. If we receive additional premium payments while a Dollar Cost Averaging program is running, absent new instructions to the contrary, the amount of the Dollar Cost Averaging transfers will increase, but the length of the Dollar Cost Averaging program will not.
NOTE CAREFULLY:
New Dollar Cost averaging instructions are required to start a new Dollar Cost Averaging program once the previous Dollar Cost Averaging program has completed. Additional premium payments, absent new allocation instructions, received after a Dollar Cost Averaging program has completed, will be allocated according to the current premium payment allocations at that time but will not reactivate a completed Dollar Cost Averaging program.
38

IF:
we do not receive all necessary information to begin or restart a Dollar Cost Averaging program
THEN:
any amount allocated to a fixed source will be invested in that fixed source but will be transferred to the money market investment option within 30 days of allocation to fixed source if new Dollar Cost Averaging instructions are not received;
any amount allocated to a variable source will be invested in that variable source and will remain in that variable investment option; and
new Dollar Cost Averaging instructions will be required to begin a Dollar Cost Averaging program.
You should consider your ability to continue a Dollar Cost Averaging program during all economic conditions. Transfers from a Dollar Cost Averaging fixed source are not subject to an excess interest adjustment. A Dollar Cost Averaging program can be used in conjunction with Asset Rebalancing and a guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit (subject to any investment restrictions involving the source). There is no charge for this benefit.
The Dollar Cost Averaging Program may vary for certain policies and may not be available for all policies, in all states or at all times. See your policy for availability of the fixed account options.
Asset Rebalancing
During the accumulation phase you can instruct us to automatically rebalance the amounts in your subaccounts to maintain your desired asset allocation. This feature is called asset rebalancing and can be started and stopped at any time. If a transfer is requested, we will honor the requested transfer and discontinue asset rebalancing. New instructions are required to start asset rebalancing. Asset rebalancing ignores amounts in the fixed account. You can choose to rebalance monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually. Asset rebalancing can be used in conjunction with a guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit. Please note, any amounts rebalanced may be immediately transferred to the Portfolio Allocation Method (PAM) investment options as applicable under the Portfolio Allocation Method. There is no charge for this benefit.
Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefits
You may elect one of the following optional riders under the policy that offers guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefits - the Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider, the Retirement Income Max® Rider or the Retirement Income Choice® 1.6 Rider. Important aspects of each of these riders are summarized in the “Appendix - Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit Comparison Table” and are described in more detail below. You should consult with tax and financial professionals to determine which of these riders, if any, is appropriate for you.
The following benefit is no longer available, but if you have previously elected this rider you can still upgrade:
Income LinkSM Rider
See Rider Grid for additional information on this rider.
Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider
You may elect to purchase the optional Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider (also known as Living Benefits Rider) which provides you with a guaranteed minimum accumulation benefit and a guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit. The Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider is only available during the accumulation phase. The Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider is only available for annuitant issue ages through age 0-80. The maximum issue age may be lower if required by state law. The Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider is only available with the Return of Premium Death Benefit or the Annual Step-Up Death Benefit. Please Note: This rider may not be issued or added to Inherited IRAs (sometimes also referred to as beneficiary IRAs) or a nonqualified annuity under which death benefits are being distributed under a stretch withdrawal option. If you elect the Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider you cannot elect another GLWB. The guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit is based on our claims-paying ability.
You should view the Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider as a way to permit you to invest in variable investment options while still having your policy value and liquidity protected to the extent provided by the Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider.
Please note:
Certain protections under the rider are available only if you hold the rider for ten years.
39

If you elect the rider, we will monitor your policy value and we may transfer amounts back and forth between specified investment options under the policy (including guaranteed period options in the fixed account) and the variable investment options you choose, according to a mathematical model that we will use to assist us in managing portfolio risk and supporting the guarantees under the rider. See Portfolio Allocation Method below.
Any such transfers out of a guaranteed period option may be subject to an excess interest adjustment. (See Portfolio Allocation Method, below.)
You will begin paying the rider charge as of the date the rider takes effect, even if you do not begin taking withdrawals for many years, or ever. We will not refund the charges you have paid under the rider if you never choose to take withdrawals and/or if you never receive any payments under the rider.
We have designed this rider for you to take withdrawals each rider year that are less than or equal to the maximum annual withdrawal amount. You should not purchase this rider if you plan to take withdrawals in excess of the maximum annual withdrawal amount, because such excess withdrawals may significantly reduce or eliminate the value of the guarantees provided by the rider.
Because the guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit under this rider is accessed through regular withdrawals that do not exceed the maximum annual withdrawal amount, the rider may not be appropriate for you if you do not foresee a need for liquidity and your primary objective is to take the maximum advantage of the tax deferral aspect of the policy.
The tax rules for qualified policies may limit the value of this rider. Please consult a qualified tax adviser before electing the Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider for a qualified policy.
Guaranteed Minimum Accumulation Benefit of Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider
If you elect the Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider, we will provide a guaranteed future value. This benefit is intended to provide a level of protection regardless of the performance of the variable investment options you select.
Guaranteed Future Value. We guarantee that, on the guaranteed future value date (ten years after you elect the rider), your policy value will at least equal your guaranteed future value. The guaranteed future value on the rider date (i.e., the date the rider is added to the policy) is the policy value  (if X-Share is elected, less any premium enhancements if the rider is added in the first policy year). After the rider date and before the guaranteed future value date, the guaranteed future value is equal to:
the guaranteed future value on the rider date; plus
a percentage of subsequent premium payments (as described below); less
subsequent adjusted partial withdrawals (as described below).
After the guaranteed future value date, the guaranteed future value equals zero.
Subsequent Premium Payments. The percentage of subsequent premium payments that will be added to the guaranteed future value is as follows:
Rider Year   Percent of subsequent premium payments
added to guaranteed future value
1   100%
2   90%
3   80%
4   70%
5   60%
6   50%
7   50%
8   50%
9   50%
10   0%
40

Guaranteed Future Value Adjusted Partial Withdrawals. If you take a partial withdrawal, even withdrawals under the guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefits, it will reduce your guaranteed future value. The amount of the reduction is referred to as the adjusted partial withdrawal amount, which will be equal to the greater of:
the guaranteed future value immediately prior to the withdrawal multiplied by the percentage reduction in the policy value resulting from the gross partial withdrawal; or
the gross partial withdrawal amount.
(The gross partial withdrawal amount is the amount you request, plus any surrender charges or excess interest adjustment that may be applicable.)
In other words, if your policy value is greater than the guaranteed future value at the time you make a partial withdrawal, then your guaranteed future value is reduced by the same amount we reduce your policy value. However, if your policy value is less than the guaranteed future value at the time you make a partial withdrawal, then your guaranteed future value will be reduced by more than the amount we reduce your policy value.
See the “Appendix - Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider Adjusted Partial Withdrawals” to this prospectus for examples showing the effect of hypothetical withdrawals in more detail, including withdrawals that reduce the guaranteed future value by more than the amount of the gross partial withdrawal.
Guaranteed Minimum Accumulation Benefit. On the guaranteed future value date (ten years after you elect the rider), if the policy value is less than the guaranteed future value, we will add an amount equal to the difference to your policy value (the policy value will then be subject to investment risk). This addition will not increase your “principal back” or “for life” total withdrawal bases. After the guaranteed future value date, the guaranteed minimum accumulation benefit will terminate.
Example. Assume you make a single premium payment of $100,000 and you do not make any withdrawals or additional premium payments. If, on the guaranteed future value date, your policy value has declined to $90,000 because of negative investment performance, then we will add $10,000 ($100,000$90,000) to your policy value.
Please note: You do not have any protection under the guaranteed minimum accumulation benefit unless you hold the policy with the rider for ten years. If you think that you may terminate the policy or elect to start receiving annuity payments (or if you must begin taking required minimum distributions) before the guaranteed future value date, electing the rider may not be in your best interests.
Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit of Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider
If you elect the Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider, we will provide a maximum annual withdrawal amount (first as withdrawals from your policy value or, if necessary, as payments from us) regardless of your policy value. This benefit is intended to provide a level of benefits regardless of the performance of the variable investment options you select.
Withdrawal Guarantees. We account for the withdrawals you take under the rider by applying two different withdrawal guarantees:
“principal back,” for withdrawals of up to 7% of your total withdrawal base.
“for life,” for withdrawals of up to 5% of your total withdrawal base.
When you make a withdrawal, you do not need to specify it as being under either withdrawal guarantee. Any withdrawals that you take while the rider is in effect could have different impacts under each of the withdrawal guarantees - on your maximum annual withdrawal amount, on your total withdrawal base, and on your minimum remaining withdrawal amount. For example, withdrawals that are compliant with the “principal back” maximum withdrawal amount could result in excess withdrawals under the “for life” withdrawal guarantee and, consequently, would reduce the maximum annual withdrawal amount, the total withdrawal base, and the minimum remaining withdrawal amount under the “for life” withdrawal guarantee. (See Adjusted Partial Withdrawals below.)
Example: Assume you make a single premium payment of $100,000 and you have not made any withdrawals or additional premium payments. If you withdraw $6,000, that would be an excess withdrawal of $1,000 ($6,000 - $5,000) under the for life guarantee but not under the principal back guarantee.
Your ability to change the frequency or amount of your withdrawals ceases if your policy value reaches zero.
Of course, you can always withdraw an amount up to your cash value pursuant to your rights under the policy at your discretion. See “Appendix - Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider Adjusted Partial Withdrawals,” for examples showing the effect of hypothetical withdrawals in more detail, including an excess withdrawal that reduces the total withdrawal base by a pro rata amount.
41

Please note:
Any amount withdrawn in a rider year (including any surrender charge or excess interest adjustment) in excess of the maximum withdrawal amount is an excess withdrawal.
The amount of your excess withdrawal will impact the maximum annual withdrawal amount, total withdrawal base, and minimum remaining withdrawal amount under each guarantee and such impact may be on a greater than dollar-for-dollar basis. (See Maximum Annual Withdrawal Benefit, Total Withdrawal Base, and Minimum Remaining Withdrawal Amount, below.)
We will not refund charges that have been paid up to the point of terminating the policy or receiving annuity payments.
Withdrawals under the guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit also:
reduce your policy value;
reduce the guaranteed future value;
reduce your death benefit and other benefits;
may be subject to surrender charges or excess interest adjustments;
may be subject to income taxes and federal tax penalties (See TAX INFORMATION).
Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount. Under this benefit:
you can withdraw up to 7% of your “principal back” total withdrawal base each rider year until your “principal back” minimum remaining withdrawal amount reaches zero.
Example. Assume you make a single premium payment of $100,000 and that you do not make any withdrawals or additional premium payments. Assume that after five years, your policy value has declined to $70,000 solely because of negative investment performance. You could still receive up to $7,000 (7% of $100,000) each rider year for the next fourteen years and $2,000 in the year immediately thereafter so you would get back your full $100,000 (assuming that you do not withdraw more than $7,000 in any one rider year).
or, you can withdraw up to 5% of your “for life” total withdrawal base each rider year starting with the rider anniversary immediately following the annuitant's 59th birthday and lasting until the annuitant's death, unless your “for life” minimum remaining withdrawal amount reaches zero because of “excess withdrawals” (see Adjusted Partial Withdrawals, below). A penalty tax may be assessed on amounts surrendered from the policy before the taxpayer reaches age 59½.
Example. Assume you are the owner and annuitant and you make a single premium payment of $100,000 when you are 55 years old. Assume you do not make any withdrawals or additional premium payments. Assume that after five years, your policy value has declined to $70,000 solely because of negative investment performance. You could still receive up to $5,000 (5% of $100,000) each rider year for the rest of your life (assuming that you do not withdraw more than $5,000 in any one rider year).
You can receive up to the maximum annual withdrawal amount each rider year (first as withdrawals from your policy value and, if necessary, as payments from us) under this rider regardless of your policy value; however, once your policy value reaches zero you cannot make premium payments, and all other policy features, benefits, and guarantees (except those provided by this rider) are terminated. In order to continue withdrawals under this rider after your policy value reaches zero, you must select an amount (which cannot exceed the maximum annual withdrawal amount at that time) and frequency (annually, semi-annually, quarterly or monthly) of future withdrawals. Once selected, the amount and frequency of future withdrawals cannot be changed.
Please note:
Withdrawals under the 5% “for life” guarantee cannot begin until after the rider anniversary following the annuitant's 59th birthday.
Any withdrawal before the rider anniversary following the annuitant's 59th birthday will reduce the benefits under the 5% “for life” guarantee.
The maximum annual withdrawal amounts described above (the 7% “principal back” and 5% “for life”) are based on rider years, not calendar or policy years (if different from rider years).
You cannot carry over any portion of your maximum annual withdrawal amount that is not withdrawn during a rider year for withdrawal in a future rider year. This means that if you do not take the maximum annual withdrawal amount during a rider year, you cannot take more than the maximum annual withdrawal amount in the next rider year and maintain the rider's guarantees.
Excess withdrawals may cause you to lose the benefit of the rider.
If you have a qualified policy, minimum required distribution rules may force you to take excess withdrawals to avoid the imposition of a 50% penalty. Further, some qualified policies have withdrawal restrictions that may (with limited exceptions) prevent you from taking withdrawals before age 59½. You should consult a tax adviser before purchasing this rider with a qualified policy.

Total Withdrawal Base. We use the total withdrawal base to calculate the maximum annual withdrawal amount. The total withdrawal base on the rider date is the policy value  (if X-Share is elected, less any premium enhancements if the rider is added in the first policy year). After the rider date, the total withdrawal base is equal to:
the total withdrawal base on the rider date; plus
subsequent premium payments; less
subsequent adjusted partial withdrawals (as described below).
We will calculate separate total withdrawal bases for the “principal back” and “for life” guarantees.
Please note: We determine the total withdrawal base solely to calculate the maximum annual withdrawal amount. Your total withdrawal base is not a cash value, a surrender value, or a death benefit. It is not available for withdrawal, it is not a minimum return for any subaccount, and it is not a guarantee of policy value.
Minimum Remaining Withdrawal Amount. The minimum remaining withdrawal amount represents the total amount of guaranteed withdrawals still available under the rider. The minimum remaining withdrawal amount on the rider date is the policy value  (if X-Share is elected, less any premium enhancements if the rider is added in the first policy year). After the rider date, the minimum remaining withdrawal amount is equal to:
the minimum remaining withdrawal amount on the rider date; plus
subsequent premium payments; less
subsequent adjusted partial withdrawals (as described below).
We will calculate separate minimum remaining withdrawal amounts for the “principal back” and “for life” guarantees. It is important to calculate separate minimum remaining withdrawal amounts because they can provide different payment amounts not only upon reaching exhaustion but also in certain situations involving continuation after the annuitant's death.
Adjusted Partial Withdrawals. Each rider year, for each withdrawal guarantee (i.e., “principal back” and “for life”), gross partial withdrawals (the amount that you request be withdrawn, plus any surrender charge or excess interest adjustment that may be applicable) up to the maximum annual withdrawal amount for that withdrawal guarantee, will reduce the minimum remaining withdrawal amount for that withdrawal guarantee on a dollar-for-dollar basis, but will not reduce the total withdrawal base for that withdrawal guarantee. For each withdrawal guarantee, gross partial withdrawals in excess of the maximum annual withdrawal amount for that withdrawal guarantee will reduce the total withdrawal base and minimum remaining withdrawal amount for that withdrawal guarantee by the greater of the dollar amount of the excess withdrawal or a pro rata amount (possibly to zero). See “Appendix - Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider Adjusted Partial Withdrawals,” which provides examples showing the effect of a withdrawal. Excess withdrawals may cause you to lose the withdrawal guarantees under this rider.
Please note: Gross partial withdrawals that are compliant with the “principal back” withdrawal guarantee (i.e., withdrawals of the “principal back” maximum annual withdrawal amount) and any partial withdrawal before the rider anniversary following the annuitant’s 59th birthday, will result in an excess partial withdrawal under the “for life” guarantee, and will reduce the “for life” maximum annual withdrawal amount, the “for life” total withdrawal base, and the “for life” minimum remaining withdrawal amount. Such reduction may be on a greater than dollar-for-dollar basis if the policy value is less than the applicable base.
Rider Fee. There is an additional charge for this rider which is a percentage of the “principal back” total withdrawal base on each rider anniversary which is charged annually before annuitization. We will also deduct the rider fee upon full surrender of the policy or other termination of the rider. The rider fee is deducted from each investment option in proportion to the amount of policy value in each investment option. Generally, the rider fee is deducted regardless of your values (i.e., even if your policy value exceeds your total withdrawal base).
We will continue to calculate the rider fee using the “principal back” total withdrawal base even after the “principal back” minimum remaining withdrawal amount reaches zero. The “principal back” total withdrawal base is always greater than or equal to the “for life” total withdrawal base.
Please note: Because the rider fee is a percentage of your “principal back” total withdrawal base on each rider anniversary, the fee can be substantially more than the same percentage of your policy value if that total withdrawal base is higher than your policy value.
Portfolio Allocation Method
If you elect the Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider, the Portfolio Allocation Method (“PAM”) will automatically be in effect. PAM is designed to help manage portfolio risk and support the guarantees under the Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider. Using PAM, we will monitor your policy value and may transfer amounts back and forth between the PAM TA Aegon U.S. Government Securities - Service Class subaccount (which invests in the Transamerica Aegon U.S. Government Securities VP - Service Class portfolio of the Transamerica Series Trust) or certain guaranteed period options of the fixed account (each a “PAM investment option” and collectively, the “PAM investment options”) and the variable investment options you choose. You should read the underlying
43

fund prospectus for the variable PAM investment option(s) carefully before you elect the Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider. We will transfer amounts from your variable investment options to the PAM investment options to the extent we deem necessary to support the guarantees under the rider. We will transfer amounts to the PAM investment options proportionally from all your variable investment options. Currently, PAM transfers are being made to the PAM TA Aegon U.S. Government Securities - Service Class subaccount. We will not transfer amounts to the PAM investment options if your policy value is greater than guarantees under the rider.
PAM is designed to help reduce portfolio risk associated with negative performance. Using PAM, we will transfer amounts from your variable investment options to the PAM investment options to the extent we deem necessary to help manage portfolio risk and support the guarantees under the Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider. You should not view the Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider or PAM as a “market timing” tool or other type of investment program designed to enhance your policy value. If you choose this rider, it may result in a lower policy value in certain situations. If policy value is transferred from your chosen variable investment options to the PAM investment options, less of your policy value may be available to participate in any future positive investment performance of your variable investment options. This may potentially provide a lower policy value than if you did not select the Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider.
Under PAM, the mathematical model compares a number of interrelated factors including your policy value and the guarantees under the rider to be provided in the future. The mathematical model also uses assumptions for interest rates, the duration of the policy and stock market volatility. The following table sets forth the most influential of these factors and indicates how each one (assuming all other factors remain constant) could trigger a transfer into or out of the PAM subaccounts.
Factor Direction of Transfer
Policy Value Increases Transfer to the investment options
Policy Value Decreases Transfer to the PAM subaccounts
Interest Rates Increase Transfer to the investment options
Volatility Increases Transfer to the PAM subaccounts
The amount of the transfer will vary depending on the magnitude and direction of the change in these factors. We may transfer some or all of your policy value to or from the PAM investment options.
Transactions you make also affect the number of PAM transfers including:
additional premium payments; and
excess withdrawals.
These transactions will change the policy value relative to the guarantees under the rider and may result in additional PAM transfers.
You may not allocate premium payments to, nor transfer policy value into or out of, the PAM investment options. PAM transfers are not subject to any transfer fee and do not count against the number of any free transfers we allow. Transfers out of a fixed account PAM investment option are at our discretion and may be subject to an excess interest adjustment if the transfer occurs before the end of a guarantee period. Any transfer we make out of PAM investment options to your variable investment options will be allocated into your variable investment options in proportion to the amount of policy value in each variable investment option. Please note that if your policy value is 100% allocated to the fixed account, we will be unable to transfer any of your policy value out of PAM investment options.
Generally, transfers to the PAM investment options first occur when the policy value drops by a cumulative amount of 3% to 5% over any period of time, although we may make transfers to the PAM investment options when the policy value drops by a cumulative amount of less than 3% in relation to the guarantees. If the policy value continues to fall, more transfers to the PAM investment options will occur. When a transfer occurs, the transferred policy value is allocated to the PAM investment option(s) we deem appropriate. The policy value allocated to the PAM investment options will remain there unless the performance of your chosen investment options recovers sufficiently to enable us to transfer amounts back to your investment options while maintaining the guarantees under the Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider. This generally occurs when the policy value increases by 5% to 10% in relation to the guarantees, although we may require a larger increase before transferring amounts back to your investment options.
The Daily Rebalancing Formula Under the Mathematical Model: As noted above, to limit our exposure under the rider, we transfer policy value from your investment options to the PAM subaccounts, to the extent called for by a mathematical model that will not change once you purchase the policy. We do this in order to minimize the need to provide payments (for example, when your policy value goes to zero by other than an excess withdrawal), or to extend the time before any payment is required. When payments become
44

more likely (because your policy value is approaching zero), the mathematical model will tend to allocate more policy value to the PAM subaccounts. If, on the other hand, the policy value is much higher than the guarantees under the rider, then payments may not be necessary, and therefore, the mathematical model will tend to allocate more policy value to the investment options.
Each market day the mathematical model computes a “target allocation,” which is the portion of the policy value that is to be allocated to the investment options.
The target allocation depends on several factors, including the policy value as compared to the guarantees under the rider, the time until payments are likely required, and interest rates. However, as time passes, these factors change. Therefore, the target allocation changes from one market day to the next. See “Appendix - PAM Method Transfers” for more detail regarding the workings of the mathematical model.
Upgrades
Prior to the annuitant's 86th birthday and after the third rider anniversary, you can upgrade the total withdrawal base and guaranteed future value to the policy value by providing us the required notice. The minimum remaining withdrawal amounts will also be upgraded to the policy value and the maximum annual withdrawal amounts will be recalculated.
If an upgrade is elected, your current rider will terminate and a new rider will be issued with a new rider date, guaranteed future value date, and its own rider fee percentage (which may be higher than your current rider fee percentage). The “principal back” and “for life” withdrawal percentages will not change. The new rider date will be the date we receive all necessary information.
Annuitization
If you have reached your maximum annuity commencement date, we will allow you to annuitize your policy and elect to receive lifetime annuity payments equal to your 5% “for life” maximum annual withdrawal amount.
Termination
The Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider will terminate upon the earliest of the following:
the date we receive written notice from you in good order requesting termination of the Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider (you may not terminate the rider before the third rider anniversary);
annuitization (however, if you have reached your maximum annuity commencement date you may choose an annuitization option which guarantees you lifetime payments in an amount equal to your 5% “for life” maximum annual withdrawal amount);
the date the policy to which this rider is attached is assigned or the owner is changed without our approval;
the date an excess withdrawal reduces your policy value to zero; or
termination of your policy.
Please note: This feature terminates upon annuitization and there is a maximum annuity commencement date.
The Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider may vary for certain policies and may not be available for all policies, in all states, at all times or through all financial intermediaries. We may discontinue offering this benefit at any time. In some cases, a benefit not available through a financial intermediary may be obtained by contacting us directly. For more information on the options available for electing a benefit, please contact your financial intermediary or our Administrative Office.

Retirement Income Max® Rider
If you elect the Retirement Income Max® Rider identified below, which provides certain guaranteed benefits, the Company requires your policy value to be allocated into designated investment options. One or more of the designated investment options may include a volatility control strategy. Volatility control strategies, in periods of high market volatility, could limit your participation in market gains; this may conflict with your investment objectives by limiting your ability to maximize potential growth of your policy value and, in turn, the value of any guaranteed benefit that is tied to investment performance. Volatility control strategies are intended to help limit overall volatility and reduce the effects of significant market downturns during periods of high market volatility, providing policy owners with the opportunity for smoother performance and better risk adjusted returns. Volatility control (and similar terms) can encompass a variety of investment strategies of different types and degrees; therefore, you should read the applicable annuity and underlying fund portfolio prospectuses carefully to understand how these investment strategies may affect your policy value and rider benefits. The Company’s requirement to invest in accordance with designated investment options, which may include volatility control, may reduce our costs and risks associated with this rider. You pay an additional fee for the rider benefits which, in part, pay for protecting the rider benefit base from investment losses. Since the rider benefit base does not decrease as a result of investment losses, volatility control strategies might not provide meaningful additional benefit to you. You should carefully evaluate with your financial advisor whether to invest in funds with volatility control strategies, taking into consideration the potential positive or negative impact that such strategy may have on your investment objectives, your policy value and the benefits under the Retirement Income Max® Rider. If you determine that funds with volatility control strategies are not consistent with your investment objectives, there continues to be other designated investment options available under the Retirement Income Max® Rider that do not invest in funds that utilize volatility control strategies.
You may elect to purchase the optional Retirement Income Max® rider which, provides you with: (1) a guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit; and (2) an opportunity for increases in the rider withdrawal amount. This rider is available during the accumulation phase, and requires that you allocate 100% of your policy value in certain designated investment options which are designed to help manage our risk and support the guarantees under the rider. If you elect the Retirement Income Max® rider you cannot elect another GLWB. The tax rules for qualified policies may limit the value of this rider. Please consult a qualified tax adviser before electing the Retirement Income Max® rider for a qualified policy. Please Note: This rider may not be issued or added to Inherited IRAs (sometimes also referred to as beneficiary IRAs) or a nonqualified annuity under which death benefits are being distributed under a stretch withdrawal option. The guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit is based on our claims-paying ability.
Retirement Income Max® - Base Benefit
Under this benefit, you can receive up to the rider withdrawal amount each rider year (first as withdrawals from your policy value and, if necessary because your policy value goes to zero by other than an excess withdrawal, as payments from us for life), starting with the rider year immediately following the annuitant’s (or the annuitant's spouse if younger and the joint life option is elected) 59th birthday and lasting until the annuitant’s (or surviving spouse's if the joint life option is elected) death (unless your withdrawal base is reduced to zero because of an “excess withdrawal”; see Withdrawal Base Adjustments, below). A rider year begins on the rider date and thereafter on each anniversary of that date. The withdrawal percentage and growth percentage that are used to determine your rider withdrawal amount will be disclosed in a Rate Sheet Prospectus Supplement which may be amended from time to time by us. We are under no obligation to notify you when we amend the Rate Sheet Prospectus Supplement. Please contact your financial intermediary or call our Administrative Office to determine whether the Rate Sheet Prospectus Supplement has been amended.
Of course, you can always withdraw an amount up to your cash value pursuant to your rights under the policy at your discretion. See the “Appendix - Hypothetical Adjusted Partial Surrenders - Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit Riders” for examples showing the effect of hypothetical withdrawals in more detail.
Please note:
You will begin paying the rider charge as of the date the rider takes effect, even if you do not begin taking withdrawals for many years, or ever. We will not refund the charges you have paid under the rider if you never choose to take withdrawals and/or if you never receive any payments under the rider.
We have designed this rider to allow for withdrawals from your policy value each rider year that are less than or equal to the rider withdrawal amount. You should not purchase this rider if you plan to take withdrawals in excess of the rider withdrawal amount, because such excess withdrawals may significantly reduce or eliminate the value of the guarantee provided by the rider.
The longer you wait to start making withdrawals under the benefit, the less time you have to benefit from the guarantee because of decreasing life expectancy as you age. On the other hand, the longer you wait to begin making withdrawals, the higher your
46

  withdrawal percentage may be, the higher the withdrawal base due to growth may be, and the more opportunities you will have to lock in a higher withdrawal base. You should carefully consider when to begin making withdrawals. There is a risk that you will not begin making withdrawals at the most financially beneficial time for you.
Because the guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit under this rider is accessed through regular withdrawals that do not exceed the rider withdrawal amount, the rider may not be appropriate for you if you do not foresee a need for liquidity and your primary objective is to take maximum advantage of the tax deferral aspect of the policy.
All policy value must be allocated to a limited number of specified investment options. You should consult with your registered representative to assist you in determining whether these certain investment options are suited for your financial needs and risk tolerance.
Any amount of withdrawals in any rider year that are in excess of the rider withdrawal amount are excess withdrawals.
An excess withdrawal may impact the withdrawal base on a greater than dollar-for-dollar basis and may cause you to lose the benefit of this rider.
Upon the death of the annuitant (or the death of the surviving spouse if the joint option is elected and the surviving spouse was eligible to and elected to continue the policy), the Retirement Income Max® rider terminates and all benefits thereunder cease.
Like all withdrawals, withdrawals while this rider is in effect also:
reduce your policy value;
reduce your base policy death benefit and other benefits;
may be subject to surrender charges or excess interest adjustments;
may be subject to income taxes and federal tax penalties; and
may be limited or restricted under certain qualified policies.
Rider Withdrawal Amount. You can withdraw up to the rider withdrawal amount in any rider year (after age 59) from your policy value without causing an excess withdrawal. See Withdrawal Base Adjustments below.
The rider withdrawal amount is zero if the annuitant (or the annuitant's spouse if younger and the joint life option is elected) is not 59 years old on the rider date and remains zero until the first day of the rider year after the annuitant’s (or the annuitant's spouse's if younger and the joint life option is elected) 59th birthday. If the annuitant (or the annuitant's spouse if younger and the joint life option is elected) is at least 59 years old on the rider date, then the rider withdrawal amount is equal to the withdrawal base multiplied by the withdrawal percentage (see below).
For qualified policies: If the plan participant (generally the annuitant) is at least 70½ years old, the rider withdrawal amount for that rider year (and each subsequent rider year) is equal to the greater of:
the rider withdrawal amount described above; or
an amount equal to any minimum required distribution amount (for the tax year on that rider anniversary) calculated using only: (1) the living annuitant’s age, (2) the IRS Uniform Lifetime table or, if applicable, the Joint Life and Survivor Expectancy table, (3) the policy value of the base policy, (prior to the first rider anniversary we use the policy value on the rider date and thereafter we use the policy value on the date prescribed by the IRS) and (4) amounts from the current calendar year (no carry-over from past years).
Only amounts calculated as set forth above can be used as the rider withdrawal amount.
If your policy value reaches zero:
due to a non-excess withdrawal, then you cannot make premium payments and all other policy features, benefits, and guarantees (except those provided by this rider) are terminated. If your policy value reaches zero by other than an excess withdrawal, we will, unless instructed otherwise, disburse any remaining minimum required distribution amount for the current rider year and set up monthly payments beginning in the next rider year according to your guarantees.
due to an excess withdrawal, then this rider terminates (as does the policy).
Please note:
If the rider is added prior to the annuitant’s (or the annuitant’s spouse if younger and the joint life option is elected) 59th birthday, the rider withdrawal amount will be zero until the beginning of the rider year after the annuitant’s (or the annuitant’s spouse if younger and the joint life option is elected) 59th birthday, however, you will still be charged a rider fee prior to this time.
You cannot carry over any portion of your rider withdrawal amount that is not withdrawn during a rider year for withdrawal in a future rider year. This means that if you do not take the entire rider withdrawal amount during a rider year, you cannot take more than the rider withdrawal amount in the next rider year and maintain the rider's guarantees.
47

Excess withdrawals may cause you to lose the benefit of the rider.
All policy value must be allocated to a limited number of specified investment options. (See Designated Investment Options below.)
Withdrawal Percentage. We use the withdrawal percentage to calculate the rider withdrawal amount. The withdrawal percentage is determined by the annuitant’s age (or the annuitant's spouse's age if younger and the joint life option is elected) at the time of the first withdrawal taken on or after the rider anniversary immediately following the annuitant’s (or the annuitant's spouse's if younger and the joint life option is elected) 59th birthday.
As noted above, the withdrawal percentage is disclosed in Rate Sheet Prospectus Supplements which may be amended by us from time to time. We are under no obligation to notify you when we amend the Rate Sheet Prospectus Supplement. Please contact your financial intermediary or call our Administrative Office to determine whether the Rate Sheet Prospectus Supplement has been amended. In order to receive the applicable withdrawal percentage: (1) your application must be signed and received within the stated time period set forth in the applicable Rate Sheet Prospectus Supplement and (2) your application must be received and your policy must be funded within the stated time periods set forth in the applicable Rate Sheet Prospectus Supplement. Withdrawal percentages reflected in a Rate Sheet Prospectus Supplement with an effective period that does not include the date you signed your application will not apply to your policy. You should not purchase this rider without first obtaining the applicable Rate Sheet Prospectus Supplement. You can contact us to receive a Rate Sheet Prospectus Supplement applicable to you. For riders issued prior to May 1, 2015, the applicable withdrawal percentages are set forth in the May 1, 2015 Statement of Additional Information.
Please note, once established, the withdrawal percentage will not generally increase even though the annuitant’s age increases except in certain instances involving automatic step-ups.
Withdrawal Base. We use the withdrawal base to calculate the rider withdrawal amount. The withdrawal base on the rider date is the policy value  (if X-Share is elected, less any premium enhancements if the rider is added in the first policy year). During any rider year, the withdrawal base is equal to the withdrawal base on the rider date or most recent rider anniversary, plus subsequent premium payments, less subsequent withdrawal base adjustments due to excess withdrawals.
Please note:
We determine the withdrawal base solely to calculate the rider withdrawal amount and rider fee.
Your withdrawal base is not a cash value, a surrender value, or a death benefit. It is not available for withdrawal, it is not a minimum return for any subaccount, and it is not a guarantee of policy value.
Because the withdrawal base is generally equal to the policy value on the rider date, the rider withdrawal amount may be lower if you delay electing the rider and the policy value decreases before you elect the rider.
On each rider anniversary, the withdrawal base will equal the greatest of:
the current withdrawal base;
the withdrawal base immediately before the rider anniversary, increased by the growth credit, if any (see Growth below);
the policy value on any monthiversarySM within the current rider year, (the same day of the month as the rider date, or the next market day if our Administrative Office or the New York Stock Exchange are closed) including the current rider anniversary (see Automatic Step-Up below).
See “Appendix - Hypothetical Example of the Withdrawal Base Calculation - Retirement Income Max® Rider” which illustrates the hypothetical example of the withdrawal base calculation.
Growth. On each of the first ten rider anniversaries, we will add a growth credit to your withdrawal base if no withdrawal occurred during the preceding rider year. The annual growth credit is equal to the growth percentage multiplied by the withdrawal base immediately before the rider anniversary.
As noted above, the growth percentage is disclosed in Rate Sheet Prospectus Supplements which may be amended by us from time to time. We are under no obligation to notify you when we amend the Rate Sheet Prospectus Supplement. Please contact your financial intermediary or call our Administrative Office to determine whether the Rate Sheet Prospectus Supplement has been amended. In order to receive the applicable growth percentage: (1) your application must be signed within the stated time period during which such growth percentages are applicable and (2) your application must be received and your policy must be funded within the stated time periods set forth in the applicable Rate Sheet Prospectus Supplement. Growth percentages reflected in a Rate Sheet Prospectus Supplement with an effective period that does not include the date you signed your application will not apply to your policy. You should not purchase this rider without first obtaining the applicable Rate Sheet Prospectus Supplement. You can contact us to receive a Rate Sheet Prospectus Supplement applicable to you. For riders issued prior to May 1, 2015, the applicable growth percentages are set forth in the May 1, 2015 Statement of Additional Information
48

Please note: Because a withdrawal will eliminate the potential application of the growth credit for that rider year, you should consider your need or possible need to take withdrawals within the first 10 rider years in deciding whether to purchase the rider.
Automatic Step-Up. On each rider anniversary, we will automatically step-up the withdrawal base to an amount equal to the greater of (1) the highest policy value on any monthiversarySM during the preceding rider year, if no excess withdrawal occurred, or (2) the policy value on the rider anniversary. If neither value is greater than the current withdrawal base, or the withdrawal base is increased by any growth percentage, no automatic step-up will occur. The withdrawal percentage (as indicated in the Rate Sheet Prospectus Supplement) will also increase if you have crossed into another age band prior to the automatic step-up. Please note, the increase is part of the automatic step-up and if no automatic step-up occurs then there will be no withdrawal percentage increase.
On each rider anniversary the rider fee percentage may increase (or decrease) at the time of any automatic step-up. The rider fee percentage will not exceed the maximum rider fee percentage in effect when you purchased the rider.
Automatic Step-Up Opt Out. Each time an automatic step-up results in a rider fee percentage increase, you have the option to reject the automatic step-up and reinstate the withdrawal base, withdrawal percentage, and rider fee percentage to their respective amounts immediately before the automatic step-up, provided that you do so within 30 days after the rider anniversary on which the automatic step-up occurred. We must receive your rejection (each time you elect to opt out), in good order, at our Administrative Office within the same 30 day period after the rider anniversary on which the automatic step-up occurred. Opting out of one step-up does not operate as an opt-out of any future step-ups.
Withdrawal Base Adjustments. Cumulative gross partial withdrawals up to the rider withdrawal amount in any rider year will not reduce the withdrawal base. Any amount of gross partial withdrawals in excess of the rider withdrawal amount in any rider year (“excess withdrawals”) will reduce the withdrawal base, however, by the greater of the dollar amount of the excess withdrawal (if the policy value is greater than the withdrawal base) or a pro rata amount (in proportion to the reduction in the policy value when the policy value is less than the withdrawal base), possibly to zero. If an excess withdrawal reduces the policy value to zero, this rider will terminate. Withdrawal base adjustments occur immediately following excess withdrawals. See “Appendix - Hypothetical Adjusted Partial Surrenders - Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit Riders” for examples showing the effect of hypothetical withdrawals in more detail, including an excess withdrawal that reduces the withdrawal base by a pro rata amount. The effect of an excess withdrawal is amplified if the policy value is less than the withdrawal base.
Please Note: We do not monitor for, or notify you of, excess withdrawals. If you take regular or scheduled withdrawals please pay particular attention to any excess withdrawal because your otherwise regular or scheduled non-excess withdrawals may thereafter all be excess withdrawals that reduce or eliminate your benefit on an accelerated basis.
Example. Assume you are the owner and annuitant and you make a single premium payment of $100,000 when you are 66 years old. Further assume that you do not make any withdrawals or additional premium payments, no automatic step-ups occurred, but that after five years your policy value has declined to $90,000 solely because of negative investment performance. With an assumed annual growth rate percentage of 5.0%, after 5 years the withdrawal base is equal to $127,628 ($100,000 x 1.055). You could receive up to $6,381 which is the assumed withdrawal percentage of 5.0% for the single life option multiplied by the withdrawal base of $127,628, each rider year for the rest of your life (assuming that you take your first withdrawal when you are age 71, that you do not withdraw more than the rider withdrawal amount in any one year and there are no future automatic step-ups.)
Example continued. Assume the same facts as above, but you withdraw $10,000 when you are 71 years old. That excess withdrawal decreases your future rider withdrawal amount to $6,501.
See the “Appendix - Hypothetical Adjusted Partial Surrenders - Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit Riders” for examples showing the effect of hypothetical withdrawals in more detail.
Designated Investment Options. If you elect this rider, you must designate 100% of your policy value into one or more of the designated investment options approved for the Retirement Income Max® Rider. See “Appendix - Designated Investment Options” for a complete listing of available subaccounts. Requiring that you designate 100% of your policy value to the designated investment options, some of which employ strategies that are intended to reduce the risk of loss and/or manage volatility, may reduce investment returns and may reduce the likelihood that we will be required to use our own assets to pay amounts due under this benefit.
Transfers between the designated investment options are allowed as permitted under the policy; however, you cannot transfer any amount (or allocate premium payments) to any non-designated investment option. Within 30 days following the fifth rider anniversary (and each successive fifth rider anniversary), you can terminate this rider. Starting the next market day after you terminate your rider, you may transfer (or allocate premium payments) to a non-designated investment option. Terminating the rider will result in losing all your benefits under the rider.
49

Please note:
The earliest you can transfer (or allocate premium payments) to a non-designated investment option is the first market day after the fifth rider anniversary. You will be required to terminate the rider first (and lose its benefits).
We can eliminate a designated investment option at any time. If this occurs, then an owner will be required to reallocate values in the affected designated investment options to other designated investment options that meet the allocation requirements.
Retirement Income Max® - Joint Life Option
If you elect this rider, then you can also elect to postpone termination of the rider until the later of the annuitant or annuitant’s spouse’s death (only if the annuitant’s spouse is eligible to and elects to continue the policy, see TAX INFORMATION - Tax Status of a Nonqualified Policy - Distribution Requirements). If you elect the Joint Life option, then the withdrawal percentage (used to calculate the rider withdrawal amount) is lower.
Please note:
The withdrawal percentage for each “age at the time of the first withdrawal” is lower if you elect this option.
The annuitant's spouse (or in certain instances a non-natural entity acting for the benefit of the annuitant's spouse) must be either a joint owner along with the annuitant or the sole primary beneficiary (and there is no joint owner), if you elect this option. (Please see Spousal Continuation section for more detail regarding annuitant's spouse).
A former spouse of the annuitant cannot continue to keep the policy in force if no longer married to the annuitant at the time of the annuitant's death. In that event, the rider will terminate and no additional withdrawals under the rider will be permitted.
The annuitant’s spouse for purposes of this rider cannot be changed to a new spouse.
The rider withdrawal percentage is based on the age of the younger of the annuitant and annuitant’s spouse, if you elect this option.
This option may not be permitted in the case of certain non-natural owners.
The rider's issue ages may vary if you elect this option.
Retirement Income Max® Rider Fees
Retirement Income Max® Rider Fee. The rider fee is calculated on the rider date and at the beginning of each rider quarter. The rider fee will be adjusted for any premium additions and excess withdrawals. It will be deducted automatically from your policy value at the end of each rider quarter.
On an annual basis, in general terms, the rider fee is the rider fee percentage times the withdrawal base. Specifically, the quarterly fee is calculated by multiplying (A) by (B) multiplied by (C), where:
(A) is the withdrawal base;
(B) is the rider fee percentage; and
(C) is the number of (remaining) days in the rider quarter divided by the total number of days in the applicable rider year.
The following example uses these assumed values: Initial Premium = $100,000; Withdrawal Base = $100,000; Rider Fee percentage = 1.25%; and 91 total days in the rider quarter.
Example 1: Calculation at rider issue for first quarter rider fee. The rider fee is:
= 100,000*0.0125*(91/365)
= 1,250*(91/365)
= $311.64
We will assess a prorated rider fee upon full surrender of the policy or other termination of the rider for the period beginning on the first day of the most recent rider quarter and ending on the date of termination.
On each rider anniversary the rider fee percentage may increase (or decrease) at the time of an automatic step-up. Each time an automatic step-up results in a rider fee percentage increase, you will have the option to reject the automatic step-up and reinstate the withdrawal base and rider fee percentage to their respective amounts immediately before the automatic step-up (adjusted for any subsequent premium payments or withdrawals), provided that you do so within 30 calendar days after the rider anniversary on which the automatic step-up occurred. We must receive your rejection, in good order, at our Administrative Office within the 30 day period after the rider anniversary on which the automatic step-up occurred.
50

Please note regarding the rider fee:
Because the rider fee is a percentage of the withdrawal base, it could be a much higher percentage of your policy value, particularly in the event that your policy value decreases significantly.
Because the rider fee is a percentage of the withdrawal base, the amount of the rider fee we deduct will increase if the withdrawal base increases (although the percentage(s) may remain the same).
Rider Fee Adjustment for Premium Payments and Excess Withdrawals. A rider fee adjustment will be calculated for subsequent premium payments and excess withdrawals because these events will change the withdrawal base. The rider fee adjustment may be positive or negative and will be added to or subtracted from the rider fee to be collected.
The following example uses these assumed values: All initial values as in Example 1; Subsequent Premium = $10,000; and 30 remaining days in the rider quarter.
Example 2: Calculation for first quarter rider fee adjustment for a subsequent premium. The fee adjustment is:
= 10,000*0.0125*(30/365)
= 125*(30/365)
= $10.27
Total fee assessed at the end of the first rider quarter (assuming no further rider fee adjustments):
= 311.64 + 10.27
= $321.91
Retirement Income Max® Rider Issue Requirements
We will not issue the Retirement Income Max® rider unless:
the annuitant is not yet age 86 (lower if required by state law);
the annuitant is also an owner (except in the case of non-natural owners);
there are no more than two owners; and
if the joint life option is elected, the annuitant’s spouse is also not yet 86 (lower if required by state law) and (1) is a joint owner along with the annuitant or (2) is the sole primary beneficiary (and there is no joint owner).
The use of joint life option may not be permitted in the case of certain non-natural owners.
Termination
The Retirement Income Max® rider will terminate upon the earliest of the following:
the date we receive written notice from you requesting termination of the rider if such notice is received before midnight of the 30th calendar day after you receive the rider;
the date we receive written notice from you requesting termination of the rider if such notice is received by us during the 30 days following the fifth rider anniversary or every fifth rider anniversary thereafter;
the death of the annuitant (or if the joint life option was elected, the death of the annuitant’s spouse if that spouse was eligible to and elected to continue the policy as the surviving spouse);
annuitization (however, if you have reached your maximum annuity commencement date you may choose an annuitization option which guarantees you lifetime payments in an amount equal to your rider withdrawal amount);
the date the policy to which this rider is attached is assigned or if the owner is changed without our approval;
the date an excess withdrawal reduces your policy value to zero; or
termination of your policy.
Please note: This rider terminates upon annuitization and there is a maximum annuity commencement date at which time your policy will be annuitized according to its terms. However, if you have reached your maximum annuity commencement date, we will allow you to annuitize your policy and elect to receive lifetime annuity payments which are at least equal to your rider withdrawal amount. Please contact us for more information concerning your options.
The Retirement Income Max® rider and additional options may vary for certain policies and may not be available for all policies, in all states, at all times or through all financial intermediaries. We may discontinue offering this benefit at any time. In some cases, a benefit not available through a financial intermediary may be obtained by contacting us directly. For more information on the options available for electing a benefit, please contact your financial intermediary or our Administrative Office.

Retirement Income Choice® 1.6 Rider
If you elect the Retirement Income Choice® 1.6 Rider identified below, which provides certain guaranteed benefits, the Company requires your policy value to be allocated into designated investment options. One or more of the designated investment options may include a volatility control strategy. Volatility control strategies, in periods of high market volatility, could limit your participation in market gains; this may conflict with your investment objectives by limiting your ability to maximize potential growth of your policy value and, in turn, the value of any guaranteed benefit that is tied to investment performance. Volatility control strategies are intended to help limit overall volatility and reduce the effects of significant market downturns during periods of high market volatility, providing policy owners with the opportunity for smoother performance and better risk adjusted returns. Volatility control (and similar terms) can encompass a variety of investment strategies of different types and degrees; therefore, you should read the applicable annuity and underlying fund portfolio prospectuses carefully to understand how these investment strategies may affect your policy value and rider benefits. The Company’s requirement to invest in accordance with designated investment options, which may include volatility control, may reduce our costs and risks associated with this rider. You pay an additional fee for the rider benefits which, in part, pay for protecting the rider benefit base from investment losses. Since the rider benefit base does not decrease as a result of investment losses, volatility control strategies might not provide meaningful additional benefit to you. You should carefully evaluate with your financial advisor whether to invest in funds with volatility control strategies, taking into consideration the potential positive or negative impact that such strategy may have on your investment objectives, your policy value and the benefits under the Retirement Income Choice® 1.6 Rider. If you determine that funds with volatility control strategies are not consistent with your investment objectives, there continues to be other designated investment options available under the Retirement Income Choice® 1.6 Rider that do not invest in funds that utilize volatility control strategies.
You may elect to purchase the optional Retirement Income Choice® 1.6 Rider which, provides you with: (1) a guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit; and (2) an opportunity for increases in the rider withdrawal amount. This rider is available during the accumulation phase, and requires that you allocate 100% of your policy value in certain designated investment options. If you elect the Retirement Income Choice® 1.6 rider you cannot elect another GLWB. The tax rules for qualified policies may limit the value of this rider. Please consult a qualified tax adviser before electing the Retirement Income Choice® 1.6 rider for a qualified policy. Please Note: This rider may not be issued or added to Inherited IRAs (sometimes also referred to as beneficiary IRAs) or a nonqualified annuity under which death benefits are being distributed under a stretch withdrawal option. The guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit is based on our claims-paying ability.
Retirement Income Choice® 1.6 Base Benefit
Under this benefit, you can receive up to the rider withdrawal amount each rider year (first as withdrawals from your policy value and, if necessary because your policy value goes to zero by other than an excess withdrawal, as payments from us), starting with the rider year immediately following the annuitant’s (or the annuitant's spouse if younger and the joint life option is elected) 59th birthday and lasting until the annuitant’s (or the annuitant's spouse if younger and the joint life option is elected) death (unless your withdrawal base is reduced to zero because of an “excess withdrawal”; see Withdrawal Base Adjustments and Rider Death Benefit Adjustments, below). A rider year begins on the rider date (the date the rider becomes effective) and thereafter on each anniversary of that date.
Of course you can always withdraw an amount up to your cash value pursuant to your rights under the policy at your discretion. See Appendix Hypothetical Adjusted Partial Surrenders Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit Riders” for examples showing the effect of hypothetical withdrawals in more detail.
Please note:
You will begin paying the rider charge as of the date the rider takes effect, even if you do not begin taking withdrawals for many years, or ever. We will not refund the charges you have paid under the rider if you never choose to take withdrawals and/or if you never receive any payments under the rider.
We have designed this rider to allow for withdrawals from your policy value each rider year that are less than or equal to the rider withdrawal amount. You should not purchase this rider if you plan to take withdrawals in excess of the rider withdrawal amount, because such excess withdrawals may significantly reduce or eliminate the value of the guarantees provided by the rider.
The longer you wait to start making withdrawals under the benefit, the less time you have to benefit from the guarantee because of decreasing life expectancy as you age. On the other hand, the longer you wait to begin making withdrawals, the higher your withdrawal percentage may be, the higher the withdrawal base due to growth may be, and the more opportunities you will have to lock in a higher withdrawal base. You should carefully consider when to begin making withdrawals. There is a risk that you will not begin making withdrawals at the most financially beneficial time for you.
52

Because the guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit under this rider is accessed through regular withdrawals that do not exceed the rider withdrawal amount, the rider may not be appropriate for you if you do not foresee a need for liquidity and your primary objective is to take maximum advantage of the tax deferral aspect of the policy.
All policy value must be allocated to a limited number of specified investment options. You should consult with your registered representative to assist you in determining whether these investment options are suited for your financial needs and risk tolerance.
Any amount of withdrawals in any rider year that are in excess of the rider withdrawal amount are excess withdrawals.
An excess withdrawal may impact the withdrawal base, and rider death benefit (if applicable) on a greater than dollar-for-dollar basis and may eliminate the benefit.
Any withdrawal will reduce your rider death benefit (if applicable).
Upon the death of the annuitant (or the death of the surviving spouse if the joint option is elected and the surviving spouse was eligible to and elected to continue the policy), the Retirement Income Choice® 1.6 rider terminates and all benefits thereunder cease.
Like all withdrawals, withdrawals while this rider is in effect also:
reduce your policy value;
reduce your base policy death benefit and other benefits;
may be subject to surrender charges or excess interest adjustments;
may be subject to income taxes and federal tax penalties; and
may be limited or restricted under certain qualified policies.
Rider Withdrawal Amount. You can withdraw up to the rider withdrawal amount in any rider year (after age 59) from your policy value without causing an excess withdrawal. See Withdrawal Base Adjustments and Rider Death Benefit Adjustments below.
The rider withdrawal amount is zero if the annuitant (or the annuitant's spouse if younger and the joint life option is elected) is not 59 years old on the rider date and remains zero until the first day of the rider year after the annuitant’s (or the annuitant's spouse if younger and the joint life option is elected) 59th birthday. If the annuitant (or the annuitant's spouse if younger and the joint life option is elected) is at least 59 years old on the rider date, then the rider withdrawal amount is equal to the withdrawal base multiplied by the withdrawal percentage (see below).
For qualified policies: If the plan participant (generally the annuitant) is at least 70½ years old, the rider withdrawal amount for that rider year (and each subsequent rider year) is equal to the greater of:
the rider withdrawal amount described above; or
an amount equal to any minimum required distribution amount (for the tax year on that rider anniversary) calculated using only: (1) the living annuitant’s age, (2) the IRS Uniform Lifetime table or, if applicable, the Joint Life and Survivor Expectancy table, (3) the policy value of the base policy, (prior to the first rider anniversary we use the policy value on the rider date and thereafter we use the policy value on the date prescribed by the IRS) and (4) amounts from the current calendar year (no carry-over from past years).
Only amounts calculated as set forth above can be used as the rider withdrawal amount.
If your policy value reaches zero:
due to a non-excess withdrawal, then you cannot make premium payments and all other policy features, benefits, and guarantees (except those provided by this rider) are terminated. If your policy value reaches zero by other than an excess withdrawal, we will, unless instructed otherwise, disburse any remaining minimum required distribution amount for the current rider year and set up monthly payments beginning in the next rider year according to your guarantees.
due to an excess withdrawal, then the rider terminates (as does the policy).
Please note:
If the rider is added prior to the annuitant’s (or the annuitant's spouse if younger and the joint life option is elected) 59th birthday, the rider withdrawal amount will be zero until the beginning of the rider year after the annuitant’s (or the annuitant’s spouse if younger and the joint life option is elected) 59th birthday, however, you will still be charged a rider fee prior to this time.
You cannot carry over any portion of your rider withdrawal amount that is not withdrawn during a rider year for withdrawal in a future rider year. This means that if you do not take the entire rider withdrawal amount during a rider year, you cannot take more than the rider withdrawal amount in the next rider year and maintain the rider's guarantees.
53

Excess withdrawals may cause you to lose the benefit of the rider.
All policy value must be allocated to a limited number of specified funds. (See Designated Investment Options below.)
Withdrawal Percentage. We use the withdrawal percentage to calculate the rider withdrawal amount. The withdrawal percentage is determined by the annuitant’s age (or the annuitant's spouse's age if younger and the joint life option is elected) at the time of the first withdrawal taken on or after the rider anniversary immediately following the annuitant’s (or the annuitant's spouse's if younger and the joint life option is elected) 59th birthday. The withdrawal percentage is as follows:
Age at time of
first withdrawal
  Single Life Option
Riders Issued
on or after
May 1, 2014
  Joint Life Option
Riders Issued
on or after
May 1, 2014
  Single Life Option
Riders Issued
Prior to
May 1, 2014
  Joint Life Option
Riders Issued
Prior to
May 1, 2014
0-58   0.00%   0.00%   0.00%   0.00%
59-64   4.00%   3.75% *   4.00%   3.50%
65-79   5.00%   4.75% *   5.00%   4.50%
≥ 80   6.00%   5.75% *   6.00%   5.50%
* For policies issued in New York, these withdrawal percentages will be 0.25% lower.
Please note, once established, the withdrawal percentage will not generally increase even though the annuitant’s age increases except in certain instances involving automatic step-ups.
Withdrawal Base. We use the withdrawal base to calculate the rider withdrawal amount. The withdrawal base on the rider date is the policy value  (if X-Share is elected, less any premium enhancements if the rider is added in the first policy year). During any rider year, the withdrawal base is equal to the withdrawal base on the rider date or most recent rider anniversary, plus subsequent premium payments, less subsequent withdrawal base adjustments due to excess withdrawals.
Please note:
We determine the withdrawal base solely to calculate the rider withdrawal amount and rider fee.
Your withdrawal base is not a cash value, a surrender value, or a death benefit. It is not available for withdrawal, it is not a minimum return for any subaccount, and it is not a guarantee of policy value.
Because the withdrawal base is generally equal to the policy value on the rider date, the rider withdrawal amount may be lower if you delay electing the rider and the policy value decreases before you elect the rider.
On each rider anniversary, the withdrawal base will equal the greatest of:
Current withdrawal base;
The withdrawal base immediately before the rider anniversary, increased by the growth credit, if any (see Growth below);
The policy value on any monthiversarySM (the same day of the month as of the rider date, or the next market day if our Administrative Office or the New York Stock Exchange are closed) within the current rider year, including the current rider anniversary (see Automatic Step-Up below).
Growth. On each of the first ten rider anniversaries, we will add a growth credit to your withdrawal base if no withdrawal occurred during the preceding rider year. The growth percentage is as follows:
Riders Issued
On or after May 1, 2014
  Riders Issued
Prior to May 1, 2014
5.50% *   5.00%
* For policies issued in New York with the Joint Life Option, the growth percentage will be 0.50% lower.
The growth credit is equal to the growth percentage multiplied by the withdrawal base immediately before the rider anniversary.
Please note: Because a withdrawal will eliminate the potential application of the growth credit for that rider year, you should consider your need or possible need to take withdrawals within the first 10 rider years in deciding whether to purchase the rider.
Automatic Step-Up. On each rider anniversary, we will automatically step-up the withdrawal base to an amount equal to the greater of (1) the highest policy value on any monthiversarySM during the preceding rider year, if no excess withdrawal occurred, or (2) the policy value on the rider anniversary. If neither value is greater than the current withdrawal base or the withdrawal base increased by
54

any growth credit, no automatic step-up will occur. The withdrawal percentage (as indicated in the withdrawal percentage table) will also increase if you have crossed into another age band prior to the automatic step-up. Please note, the increase is part of the automatic step-up and if no automatic step-up occurs then there will be no withdrawal percentage increase.
Beginning on the fifth rider anniversary, the rider fee percentage may increase (or decrease) at the time of any automatic step-up. The rider fee percentage will not exceed the maximum rider fee percentage in effect when you purchased the rider.
Automatic Step-Up Opt Out. Each time an automatic step-up results in a rider fee percentage increase, you have the option to reject the automatic step-up and reinstate the withdrawal base, withdrawal percentage, and rider fee percentage to their respective amounts immediately before the automatic step-up, provided that you do so within 30 days after the rider anniversary on which the automatic step-up occurred. Changes as a result of the automatic step-up feature will be reversed. We must receive your rejection (each time you elect to opt out), in good order, at our Administrative Office within the same 30 day period after the rider anniversary on which the automatic step-up occurred. Opting out of one step-up does not operate as an opt-out of any future step-ups.
Withdrawal Base Adjustments. Cumulative gross partial withdrawals up to the rider withdrawal amount in any rider year will not reduce the withdrawal base. Any amount of gross partial withdrawals in excess of the rider withdrawal amount in any rider year (“excess withdrawals”) will reduce the withdrawal base, however, by the greater of the dollar amount of the excess withdrawal (if the policy value is greater than the withdrawal base) or a pro rata amount (in proportion to the reduction in the policy value when the policy value is less than the withdrawal base), possibly to zero. If an excess withdrawal reduces the policy value to zero, this rider will terminate. Withdrawal base adjustments occur immediately following excess withdrawals. See “Appendix - Hypothetical Adjusted Partial Surrenders - Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit Riders” for examples showing the effect of hypothetical withdrawals in more detail, including an excess withdrawal that reduces the withdrawal base by a pro rata amount. The effect of an excess withdrawal is magnified if the policy value is less than the withdrawal base. See the “Appendix - Hypothetical Adjusted Partial Surrenders - Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit Riders” for examples showing the effect of hypothetical excess withdrawals in more detail.
Please Note: We do not monitor for, or notify you of, excess withdrawals. If you take regular or scheduled withdrawals please pay particular attention to any excess withdrawal because your otherwise regular or scheduled non-excess withdrawals may thereafter all be excess withdrawals that reduce or eliminate your benefit on an accelerated basis.
Example. Assume you are the owner and annuitant and you make a single premium payment of $100,000 when you are 66 years old. Further assume that you do not make any withdrawals or subsequent premium payments, no automatic step-ups occurred, but that after five years your policy value has declined to $90,000 solely because of negative investment performance. With an assumed annual growth rate percentage of 5.0%, after 5 years the withdrawal base is equal to $127,628 ($100,000 x 1.055). You could receive up to $6,381 which is the assumed withdrawal percentage of 5.0% for the single life option multiplied by the withdrawal base of $127,628, each rider year for the rest of your life (assuming that you take your first withdrawal when you are age 71, that you do not withdraw more than the rider withdrawal amount in any one year and there are no future automatic step-ups.)
Example continued. Assume the same facts as above, but you withdraw $10,000 when you are 71 years old. That excess withdrawal decreases your future rider withdrawal amount to $6,501.
See the “Appendix - Hypothetical Adjusted Partial Surrenders - Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit Riders” for examples showing the effect of hypothetical withdrawals in more detail.
Designated Investment Options. If you elect this rider, you must designate 100% of your policy value into one or more of the designated investment options available under the respective designated allocation groups that have been approved for the Retirement Income Choice® 1.6 Rider. See “Appendix - Designated Investment Options” for a complete listing of available subaccounts. Requiring that you designate 100% of your policy value to the designated investment options, some of which employ strategies that are intended to reduce the risk of loss and/or manage volatility, may reduce investment returns and may reduce the likelihood that we will be required to use our own assets to pay amounts due under this benefit.
Transfers between the designated investment options are allowed as permitted under the policy; however, you cannot transfer any amount (or allocate premium payments) to any non-designated investment option. Within 30 days following the fifth rider anniversary (and each successive fifth rider anniversary) you can terminate this rider. Starting the next market day, you may transfer (or allocate premium payments) to a non-designated investment option. Terminating the rider will result in losing all your benefits under the rider.
Please note:
The earliest you can transfer (or allocate premium payments) to a non-designated investment option is the first market day after the fifth rider anniversary. You will be required to terminate the rider first. If you terminate the rider you will lose all of its benefits.
55

We can change a designated allocation group or eliminate a designated investment option at any time. If this occurs, then an owner will be required to reallocate values in the affected designated investment options to other designated investment options that meet the allocation requirements.
Manual Resets. You can effectively “reset” the withdrawal base to the policy value using a manual process under which your current rider is terminated and a new rider is issued. You can only elect a reset during the 30 day periods following each successive fifth rider anniversary and if all other rider issue requirements are met. When the new rider is issued, the rider withdrawal amount and, if applicable, the rider death benefit will be recalculated. Your new rider will have a new rider date, new rider fee percentage (which may be higher than your current rider fee percentage), and its own terms and benefits (which may not be as advantageous as the current rider). The new rider date will be the date we receive all necessary information in good order. Please note that this “reset” procedure may be referred to as a “manual upgrade” in your policy rider and other materials.
Please note:
Manual resets, unlike automatic step-ups, occur only if you so elect during the 30 day window following each successive fifth rider anniversary.
Manual resets result in the purchase of a new rider whose terms may be more or less favorable than the current rider whereas automatic step-ups do not require termination of the existing rider and repurchase of a new rider (although fees may increase at the time of an automatic step-up).
Owners may decide to terminate an existing rider if it no longer meets their needs and then elect a new available rider that does.
Retirement Income Choice® 1.6 Additional Options
You may elect the following options with this rider (the options are not mutually exclusive):
Death Benefit;
Joint Life; and
Income EnhancementSM.
There is an additional fee if you elect the Death Benefit and/or the Income EnhancementSM Benefit option(s) under the rider. If you elect the Joint Life option, then the withdrawal percentage (used to calculate the rider withdrawal amount) is lower. Furthermore, if you elect the Joint Life option in combination with the Death Benefit and/or the Income EnhancementSM Benefit option(s), then the fee for each of those additional options will be different than under the Single Life option. See Retirement Income Choice® 1.6 Rider Fees. There may be different issue ages depending upon which options you elect.
Death Benefit. If you elect this rider, you can also elect to add an additional amount to the death benefit payable under the base policy, upon the death of the annuitant (or if the joint life option is selected, the death of the annuitant’s spouse if later). The additional amount will be equal to the excess, if any, of the rider death benefit over the greater of any optional guaranteed minimum death benefit or the base policy death benefit. The additional amount can be zero. See DEATH BENEFIT.
Rider Death Benefit. The rider death benefit on the rider date is the policy value  (if X-Share is elected, less any premium enhancements if the rider is added in the first policy year). After the rider date, the rider death benefit is equal to:
the rider death benefit on the rider date; plus
subsequent premium payments; less
adjustments for withdrawals (as described under Rider Death Benefit Adjustments, below).
Rider Death Benefit Adjustments. Gross partial withdrawals up to the rider withdrawal amount in a rider year will reduce the rider death benefit on a dollar-for-dollar basis. Gross partial withdrawals in excess of the rider withdrawal amount in a rider year will reduce the rider death benefit by the greater of the dollar amount of the excess withdrawal or a pro rata amount (in proportion to the reduction in policy value), and possibly to zero. See “Appendix - Hypothetical Adjusted Partial Surrenders - Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit Riders” for examples showing the effect of hypothetical withdrawals in more detail, including an excess withdrawal that results in pro rata adjustments. Rider death benefit adjustments occur immediately following all withdrawals.
Please note:
No additional death benefit is payable if the base policy death benefit (including the guaranteed minimum death benefit) exceeds the rider death benefit. The greater the death benefit payable under the guaranteed minimum death benefit selected, the more likely it is that an additional amount will not be payable under the rider death benefit option.
Excess withdrawals may eliminate the additional death benefit available with this rider. You will continue to pay the fee for this option, even if the additional death benefit available under the rider is $0.
Manual resets to the withdrawal base will result in a recalculation of the rider death benefit. However, automatic step-ups will not reset the rider death benefit.
56

If an owner who is not the annuitant dies and the surviving spouse is eligible to and elects to continue the policy, then no additional amount is payable. If the policy is not continued, then the surviving owner (who is also the sole beneficiary) may elect to receive lifetime annuity payments equal to the rider withdrawal amount divided by the number of payments each year instead of receiving the policy’s cash value. See TAX INFORMATION - Tax Status of a Nonqualified Policy - Distribution Requirements. (The payment of a death benefit under the policy is triggered by the death of the annuitant.)
The additional death benefit adjustment differs from the adjusted partial surrender amount for the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefits described in DEATH BENEFIT - Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefits. Accordingly, withdrawals may effect the additional death benefit differently than the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefits.
The additional death benefit payment option may be referred to as “rider death benefit” on your policy statement and other documents.
Joint Life Benefit. If you elect this rider, then you can also elect to postpone termination of the rider until the later of the annuitant or annuitant’s spouse’s death (only if the annuitant’s spouse is eligible to and elects to continue the policy, see TAX INFORMATION – Tax Status of a Nonqualified Policy Distribution Requirements). If you elect the Joint Life option, then the withdrawal percentage (used to calculate the rider withdrawal amount) is lower.
Please note:
The withdrawal percentage for each “age at the time of first withdrawal” is lower if you elect this option.
The annuitant's spouse (or in certain instances a non-natural entity acting for the benefit of the annuitant's spouse) must be either a joint owner along with the annuitant or the sole primary beneficiary (and there is no joint owner), if you elect this option. (Please see Spousal Continuation section for more detail regarding annuitant's spouse).
A former spouse of the annuitant cannot continue to keep the policy in force if no longer married to the annuitant at the time of the annuitant's death. In that event, the rider will terminate and no additional withdrawals under the rider will be permitted.
The annuitant’s spouse for purposes of this rider cannot be changed to a new spouse.
The rider withdrawal percentage is based on the age of the younger of the annuitant and annuitant’s spouse, if you elect this option.
The rider death benefit is not payable until the death of the surviving spouse, if you elect this option.
You cannot elect a manual reset if the annuitant or annuitant’s spouse is 86 or older (lower if required by state law).
This option may not be permitted in the case of certain non-natural owners.
Income EnhancementSM Option. If you elect this rider, you can also elect to have your withdrawal percentage increase to 150% of the non-income enhanced withdrawal percentage if either the annuitant (or the annuitant’s spouse if the joint life option is elected) is confined, due to a medical necessity in a hospital or nursing facility due to physical or cognitive ailments. Benefits from this option are not available unless the rider has been in effect for 12 months (the “waiting period”) and confinement must meet the elimination period of 180 days within the last 365 days. The elimination period and waiting period can, but do not need to, run concurrently.
Please note:
You cannot elect the Income EnhancementSM Option if the qualifying person or persons is/are already admitted to a hospital or already reside in a nursing facility.
Confinement must be prescribed by a physician based on the individual's inability to sustain themselves outside of a hospital or nursing facility due to physical or cognitive ailments.
The increase to the withdrawal percentage stops when the qualifying person or persons is/are no longer confined as described above.
The hospital and/or nursing facility must meet the criteria listed below to qualify for the benefit.
A Qualifying Hospital must meet the following criteria:
It is operated pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is located;
It is operated primarily for the care and treatment of sick and injured persons on an inpatient basis;
It provides 24-hour nursing service by or under the supervision of registered graduate professional nurses;
It is supervised by a staff of one or more licensed physicians; and
It has medical, surgical and diagnostic facilities or access to such facilities.
A Qualifying Nursing Facility must meet the following criteria:
It is operated pursuant to the laws and regulations of the state in which it is located as a nursing facility or Alzheimer's disease facility;
57

It provides care performed or supervised by a registered graduate nurse;
It provides room and board accommodations;
Will provide 24-hour nursing services, 7 days a week by an on-site Registered Nurse and related services on a continuing inpatient basis;
It has a planned program of policies and procedures developed with the advice of, and periodically reviewed by, at least one physician; and
It maintains a clinical record of each patient.
A Qualifying Nursing Facility does not include:
Assisted living facilities or residential care facilities;
A place primarily for treatment of mental or nervous disorders, drug addiction or alcoholism;
A home for the aged, a rest home, community living center or a place that provides domestic, resident, retirement or educational care;
Personal care homes, personal care boarding homes, residential or domiciliary care homes;
A rehabilitation hospital or basic care facilities;
Adult foster care facilities, congregate care facilities, family and group living assisted living facilities; or
Other facilities similar to those described above.
We will require confirmation of confinement in a qualifying hospital or a qualifying nursing facility while benefit payouts are being received. Confirmation of that confinement will be attained and approved by completing our “Income EnhancementSM Election and Proof of Confinement Questionnaire” form. This form requires additional proof of confinement which may be a physician’s statement, a statement from a hospital or nursing facility administrator, or any other information satisfactory to us which may include information from third party or company interviews and/or visits of the facility. If it is determined that the qualifying individual was not confined in an eligible facility as defined above and has received payments under the Income EnhancementSM Option, those payments could be considered an excess withdrawal and have a negative effect on the rider values. If confinement ceases, you may re-qualify by satisfying another 180-day elimination period requirement.
Retirement Income Choice® 1.6 Fees
Retirement Income Choice® 1.6 Base Rider Fee. The base rider fee is calculated on the rider date and at the beginning of each rider quarter. The base rider fee will be adjusted for any premium additions, excess withdrawals, or transfers between designated investment groups. It will be deducted automatically from your policy value at the end of each rider quarter.
On an annual basis, in general terms, the base rider fee is the applicable rider fee percentage times the withdrawal base.
The base quarterly fee is calculated by multiplying (A) by (B) divided by (C) multiplied by (D), where:
(A) is the withdrawal base;
(B) is the sum of each designated investment group's rider fee percentage multiplied by the applicable designated investment group's value;
(C) is the total policy value; and
(D) is the number of (remaining) days in the rider quarter divided by the total number of days in the applicable rider year.
The following example uses these assumed values: Initial Premium = $100,000; Fund Allocations such that Group A = $50,000, Group B = $30,000, and Group C = $20,000; Withdrawal Base = $100,000; Policy Value = $100,000; Investment Group fee percentages of Group A = 1.45%, Group B = 1.10% and Group C = 0.70%; and 91 total days in the rider quarter.
Example 1: Calculation at rider issue for the first quarter fee. The rider fee is:
= 100,000 * [(50,000*0.0145) + (30,000*0.0110) + (20,000*0.0070)] / 100,000 * (91/365)
= 100,000 * (725 + 330 + 140) / 100,000 * (91/365)
= 100,000 * 1,195/100,000 * (91/365)
= 1,195 * (91/365)
= $297.93
We will assess a prorated rider fee upon full surrender of the policy or other termination of the rider for the period beginning on the first day of the most recent rider quarter and ending on the date of termination.
Beginning on the fifth rider anniversary, the rider fee percentage may increase (or decrease) at the time of an automatic step-up. Each time an automatic step-up will result in a rider fee percentage increase, you will have the option to reject the automatic step-up and reinstate the withdrawal base and rider fee percentage to their respective amounts immediately before the automatic step-up (adjusted
58

for any subsequent premium payments or withdrawals), provided that you do so within 30 calendar days after the rider anniversary on which the automatic step-up occurred. We must receive your rejection, in good order, at our Administrative Office within the 30 day period after the rider anniversary on which the automatic step-up occurred.
Please note regarding the base rider fee:
Because the base rider fee is a percentage of the withdrawal base, it could be a much higher percentage of your policy value, particularly in the event that your policy value decreases significantly.
Because the base rider fee is a percentage of the withdrawal base, the amount of the base rider fee we deduct will increase if the withdrawal base increases (although the percentage(s) may remain the same).
If you make a transfer from one designated allocation group to another designated allocation group that has a higher rider fee percentage, then the resulting rider fee will be higher.
Base Rider Fee Adjustment for Premium Payments and Excess Withdrawals. A rider fee adjustment will be calculated for subsequent premium payments and excess withdrawals because these events will change the withdrawal base. The rider fee adjustment may be positive or negative and will be added to or subtracted from the rider fee to be collected.
The following example uses these assumed values: All initial values as in Example 1; Subsequent Premium = $10,000, allocated such that Group A = $5,000, Group B = $3,000, and Group C = $2,000; and 30 remaining days in the rider quarter.
Example 2: Calculation of the first quarter rider fee adjustment for a subsequent premium. The fee adjustment is:
= 10,000 * [(5,000*0.0145) + (3,000*0.0110) + (2,000*0.0070)] / 10,000 * (30/365)
= 10,000 * (72.50 + 33 + 14) / 10,000 * (30/365)
= 10,000 * 119.50/10,000 * (30/365)
= 119.50 * (30/365)
= $9.82
Total fee assessed at end of first rider quarter (assuming no further fee adjustments):
= 297.93 + 9.82
= $307.75
We will also deduct all rider fees pro rata upon full surrender of the policy or other termination of the rider.
Base Rider Fee Adjustment for Transfers. For transfers that you make between different designated investment options in different designated allocation groups on other than the first market day of a rider quarter, a rider fee adjustment will be applied. This adjustment is necessary because of differences in the rider fee percentages. The adjustment in the rider fee percentage will ensure that you are charged the correct overall rider fee for that quarter. The rider fee adjustment may be positive or negative and will be added to or subtracted from the rider fee to be collected.
The following example uses these assumed values: All initial values as in Example 1, as well as a subsequent premium payment as in Example 2; Withdrawal Base = $110,000; Policy Value = $90,000; Fund Transfer from Group A = $5,000, into Group B = $3,000, and into Group C = $2,000; and 15 remaining days in the rider quarter.
Example 3: Calculation of the first quarter rider fee adjustment for a fund transfer. The fee adjustment is:
= 110,000 * [(-5,000*0.0145) + (3,000*0.0110) + (2,000*0.0070)] / 90,000 * (15/365)
= 110,000 * (-72.50 + 33 + 14) / 90,000 * (15/365)
= 110,000 * -25.50/90,000 * (15/365)
= -31.17 * (15/365)
= $-1.28
Total fee assessed at end of the first rider quarter (assuming no further rider fee adjustments):
= 307.75 - 1.28
= $306.47
Additional Option Fees. If you elect options with this rider, then you will be charged a fee for each option you elect that is in addition to the rider fee for the base benefit. Each additional fee is charged quarterly before annuitization and is a percentage of the withdrawal base on each rider anniversary.
We will also deduct all rider fees, including additional option fees, pro rata upon surrender of the policy or other termination of the rider.
59

Retirement Income Choice® 1.6 Rider Issue Requirements
We will not issue the Retirement Income Choice® 1.6 rider if:
the annuitant is 86 or older (lower if required by state law);
the annuitant is not an owner (except in the case of non-natural owners);
there are more than two owners; and
the joint life option is elected, and the annuitant’s spouse is 86 or older (lower if required by state law) and (1) is not a joint owner along with the annuitant or (2) is not the sole primary beneficiary (and there is no joint owner).
The use of joint life option may not be permitted in the case of certain non-natural owners.
Termination
The Retirement Income Choice® 1.6 rider and any additional options will terminate upon the earliest of the following:
the date we receive written notice from you requesting termination of the rider if such notice is received before midnight of the 30th calendar day after you receive the rider;
the date we receive written notice from you requesting termination or manual reset of the rider if such notice is received by us during the 30 days following the fifth rider anniversary or every fifth rider anniversary thereafter;
the death of the annuitant (or if the joint life option was elected, the death of the annuitant’s spouse if that spouse was eligible to and elected to continue the policy as the surviving spouse);
annuitization (however, if you have reached your maximum annuity commencement date you may choose an annuitization option which guarantees you lifetime payments in an amount equal to your rider withdrawal amount);
the date the policy to which this rider is attached is assigned or if the owner is changed without our approval;
the date an excess withdrawal reduces your policy value to zero; or
termination of your policy.
Please note: This rider terminates upon annuitization and there is a maximum annuity commencement date at which time your policy will be annuitized according to its terms. However, if you have reached your maximum annuity commencement date, we will allow you to annuitize your policy and elect to receive lifetime annuity payments which are at least equal to your rider withdrawal amount (this option also guarantees that if the annuitant dies before the sum of all annuity payments equals the policy value, and rider benefit if elected, on the maximum annuity commencement date, the annuitant's beneficiary will receive a final payment equal to the difference). Please contact us for more information concerning your options.
The Retirement Income Choice® 1.6 rider and additional options may vary for certain policies and may not be available for all policies, in all states, at all times or through all financial intermediaries. We may discontinue offering this benefit at any time. In some cases, a benefit not available through a financial intermediary may be obtained by contacting us directly. For more information on the options for electing a benefit, please contact your financial intermediary or our Administrative Office.

Ownership
You, as owner of the policy, exercise all rights under the policy. You can generally change the owner at any time by notifying us in writing at our Administrative Office. There may be limitations on your ability to change the ownership of a qualified policy. An ownership change may be a taxable event.
Beneficiary
The beneficiary designation will remain in effect until changed. The owner may change the designated beneficiary by sending us written notice. The beneficiary's consent to such change is not required unless the beneficiary was irrevocably designated or law requires consent. (If an irrevocable beneficiary dies, the owner may then designate a new beneficiary.) We will not be liable for any payment made before the written notice is received in our Administrative Office. If more than one beneficiary is designated, and the owner fails to specify their interests, they will share equally. If, upon the death of the annuitant, there is a surviving owner(s), then the surviving owner(s) automatically takes the place of any beneficiary designation.
Right to Cancel Period
You may return your policy for a refund, but only if you return it within a prescribed period, which is generally 10 days after you receive the policy (for replacements the right to cancel period is generally 30 days), or whatever longer time may be required by state law. The amount of the refund will generally be the premiums paid plus or minus accumulated gains or losses in the separate account. You bear the risk of any decline in policy value during the right to cancel period. However, if state law requires, we will refund your original premium payment(s). We will pay the refund within seven days after we receive in good order within the applicable period at our Administrative Office, written notice of cancellation and the returned policy. The policy will then be deemed void. If you selected the X-Share, the amount of the premium enhancement may be recaptured.
61

Assignment
You can also generally assign the policy any time during your lifetime. We will not be bound by the assignment until we receive written notice of the assignment in good order at our Administrative Office and approve it. We reserve the right, except to the extent prohibited by applicable laws, regulations, or actions of the State insurance commissioner, to require that an assignment will be effective only upon acceptance by us, and to refuse assignments or transfers at any time on a non-discriminatory basis. We will not be liable for any payment or other action we take in accordance with the policy before we approve the assignment. There may be limitations on your ability to assign a qualified policy. An assignment may have tax consequences.
Termination for Low Value
If a partial surrender or fee (including an optional rider fee, administrative fee, or owner transaction fee) reduces your cash value below the minimum specified in your policy, we reserve the right to terminate your policy and send you a full distribution of your remaining cash value. All benefits associated with your annuity policy will be terminated. Federal law may impose restrictions on our right to terminate certain qualified policies. We do not currently anticipate exercising this right if you have certain optional benefits, however, we reserve the right to do so. For all other policies, including policies with certain other optional benefits, we intend to exercise this termination provision.
Sending Forms and Transaction Requests in Good Order
We cannot process your requests for transactions relating to the policy until they are received in good order. “Good order” means the actual receipt of the instructions relating to the requested transaction in writing (or, when appropriate, by telephone or electronically), along with all forms, information and supporting legal documentation necessary to effect the transaction. This information and documentation generally includes, to the extent applicable to the transaction: your completed application; the policy number; the transaction amount (in dollars or percentage terms); the names and allocations to and/or from the Subaccounts affected by the requested transaction; the signatures of all owners (exactly as registered on the Policy) if necessary; Social Security Number or Taxpayer I.D.; and any other information or supporting documentation that we may require, including any spousal or joint owner's consents. With respect to purchase requests, “good order” also generally includes receipt of sufficient funds to effect the purchase. We may, in our sole discretion, determine whether any particular transaction request is in good order, and we reserve the right to change or waive any good order requirements at any time.
“Received” or receipt in good order generally means that everything necessary must be received by us, at our Administrative Office specified in the Glossary of Terms. We reserve the right to reject electronic transactions that do not meet our requirements.
Regulatory Modifications to Policy
We reserve the right to amend the policy or any riders attached thereto as necessary to comply with specific direction provided by state or federal regulators, through change of law, rule, regulation, bulletin, regulatory directives or agreements.
Certain Offers
From time to time, we have (and we may again) offered you some form of payment or incentive in return for terminating or modifying certain guaranteed benefits.
When we make an offer, we may vary the offer amount, up or down, among the same group of policy owners based on certain criteria such as account value, the difference between account value and any applicable benefit base, investment allocations and the amount and type of withdrawals taken. For example, for guaranteed benefits that have benefit bases that can be reduced on either a pro rata or dollar-for-dollar basis depending on the amount of withdrawals taken, we may consider whether you have taken any withdrawal that has caused a pro rata reduction in your benefit base, as opposed to a dollar-for-dollar reduction. Also, we may increase or decrease offer amounts from offer to offer. In other words, we may make an offer to a group of policy owners based on an offer amount, and, in the future, make another offer based on a higher or lower offer amount to the remaining policy owners in the same group.
If you accept an offer that requires you to terminate a guaranteed benefit and you retain your policy, we will no longer charge you for it, and you will not be eligible for any future offers related to that type of guaranteed benefit, even if such future offer would have included a greater offer amount or different payment or incentive.
Mixed and Shared Funding
The underlying fund portfolios may serve as investment vehicles for variable life insurance policies, variable annuity policies and retirement plans (“mixed funding”) and shares of the underlying fund portfolios also may be sold to separate accounts of other insurance companies (“shared funding”). While we currently do not foresee any disadvantages to owners and participants arising from
62

either mixed or shared funding, it is possible that the interests of owners of various policies and/or participants in various plans for which the underlying fund portfolios serve as investments might at some time be in conflict. We and each underlying fund portfolio’s Board of Directors intend to monitor events in order to identify any material conflicts and to determine what action, if any, to take. Such action could include the sale of underlying fund portfolio shares by one or more of the separate accounts, which could have adverse consequences. Such action could also include a decision that separate funds should be established for variable life and variable annuity separate accounts. In such an event, we would bear the attendant expenses, but owners and plan participants would no longer have the economies of scale resulting from a larger combined fund. Please read the prospectuses for the underlying fund portfolios, which discuss the underlying fund portfolios’ risks regarding mixed and shared funding, as applicable.
Exchanges and/or Reinstatements
You can generally exchange a nonqualified annuity policy for another in a “tax-free exchange” under Section 1035 of the Internal Revenue Code or transfer qualified policies directly to another life insurance company as a “trustee-to-trustee transfer”. Before making an exchange or transfer, you should compare both annuities carefully. Remember that if you exchange or transfer another annuity for the one described in this prospectus, then you may pay a surrender charge on the other annuity, and there may be a new surrender charge period under this annuity and other charges may be higher (or lower) and the benefits under this annuity may be different. You should not exchange or transfer another annuity for this one unless you determine, after knowing all the facts, that the exchange or transfer is in your best interest and not just better for the person trying to sell you this policy (that person will generally earn a commission if you buy this policy through an exchange, transfer or otherwise).
You may ask us to reinstate your policy after such an exchange, transfer or full or partial surrender and in certain limited circumstances we will allow you to do so by returning the same total dollar amount of funds distributed to the applicable investment options. The dollar amount will be used to purchase new accumulation units at the then current price. Because of changes in market value, your new accumulation units may be worth more or less than the units you previously owned. Generally, unless you return the original company check, your annuity policy is nonqualified and a portion of the prior withdrawal was taxable, we are required to report the taxable amount from the distribution to the IRS even though the funds have been reinstated. The cost basis will be adjusted accordingly. The taxable amount will be reported on Form 1099-R which you will receive in January of the year following the distribution. We recommend that you consult a tax professional to explain the possible tax consequences of reinstatements.
Voting Rights
To the extent required by law, we will vote all shares of the underlying fund portfolios held in the separate account in accordance with instructions we receive from you and/or other individuals that have voting interests in the portfolios. We will send you and/or other individuals requests for instructions on how to vote those shares. When we receive those instructions, we will vote all of the shares in proportion to those instructions. Accordingly, it is possible for a small number of owners (assuming there is a quorum) to determine the outcome of a vote, especially if they have large policy values. If, however, we determine that we are permitted to vote the shares in our own right, we may do so.
Each person having a voting interest will receive proxy material, reports, and other materials relating to the appropriate portfolio.
Abandoned or Unclaimed Property
Every state has unclaimed property laws that generally provide for escheatment to the state of unclaimed property (including proceeds of annuity, life and other insurance policies) under various circumstances. In addition to the state unclaimed property laws, we may be required to escheat property pursuant to regulatory demand, finding, agreement or settlement. To help prevent such escheatment, it is important that you keep your contact and other information on file with us up to date, including the names, contact information and identifying information for owners, insureds, annuitants, beneficiaries and other payees. Such updates should be communicated in a form and manner satisfactory to us.
Legal Proceedings
We, like other life insurance companies, are subject to regulatory and legal proceedings, including class action lawsuits, in the ordinary course of our business. Such legal and regulatory matters include proceedings specific to us and other proceedings generally applicable to business practices in the industry in which we operate. In some lawsuits and regulatory proceedings involving insurers, substantial damages have been sought and/or material settlement payments have been made. Although the outcome of any litigation or regulatory proceeding cannot be predicted with certainty, at the present time, we believe that there are no pending or threatened proceedings or lawsuits that are likely to have a material adverse impact on the separate account, on TCI's ability to perform under its principal underwriting agreement, or on our ability to meet our obligations under the policy.
63

We are currently being audited on behalf of multiple states' treasury and controllers' offices for compliance with laws and regulations concerning the identification, reporting and escheatment of unclaimed benefits or abandoned funds. The audits focus on insurance company processes and procedures for identifying unreported death claims, and their use of the Social Security Master Death File to identify deceased policy and policy holders. In addition, we are the subject of multiple state Insurance Department inquiries and market conduct examinations with a similar focus on the handling of unreported claims and abandoned property. The audits and related examination activity have resulted in or may result in additional payments to beneficiaries, escheatment of funds deemed abandoned, administrative penalties and changes in our procedures for the identification of unreported claims and handling of escheatable property. We do not believe that any regulatory actions or agreements that have resulted from or will result from these examinations has had or will have a material adverse impact on the separate account, on TCI's ability to perform under its principal underwriting agreement, or on our ability to meet our obligations under the policy.
Cyber Security
Our variable product business is highly dependent upon the effective operation of our computer systems and those of our business partners. Consequently, our business is potentially susceptible to operational and information security risks resulting from a cyber-attack. These risks include, among other things, the theft, misuse, corruption and destruction of data maintained online or digitally, denial of service attacks on websites and other operational disruption and unauthorized release of confidential customer information. Cyber-attacks affecting us, any third party administrator, the underlying funds, intermediaries and other affiliated or third-party service provides may adversely affect us and your policy value. For instance, cyber-attacks may: interfere with our processing of policy transactions, including the processing of orders from our website or with the underlying funds; cause the release and possible destruction of confidential customer or business information; impede order processing; subject us and/or our service providers and intermediaries to regulatory fines and financial losses; and/or cause reputational damage. Cyber security risks may also affect the issuers of securities in which the underlying funds invest, which may cause the underlying funds to lose value. There can be no assurance that we, the underlying funds or our service providers will avoid losses affecting your policy that result from cyber-attacks or information security breaches.

Information About Us
We are engaged in the sale of life and health insurance and annuity policies. Transamerica Life Insurance Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Iowa on April 19, 1961 as NN Investors Life Insurance Company Inc., and is licensed in all states and the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Transamerica Financial Life Insurance Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of New York on October 3, 1947 and is licensed in all states and the District of Columbia. We are a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Transamerica Corporation which conducts most of its operations through subsidiary companies engaged in the insurance business or in providing non-insurance financial services. All of the stock of Transamerica Corporation is indirectly owned by Aegon N.V. of The Netherlands, the securities of which are publicly traded. Aegon N.V., a holding company, conducts its business through subsidiary companies engaged primarily in the insurance business.
All obligations arising under the policies, including the promise to make annuity payments, are general corporate obligations of ours. Accordingly, no financial institution, brokerage firm or insurance agency is responsible for our financial obligations arising under the policies.
Financial Condition
We pay benefits under your policy from our general account assets and/or from your policy value held in the separate account. It is important that you understand that payments of the benefits are not assured and depend upon certain factors discussed below.
Assets in the Separate Account. You assume all of the investment risk for your policy value that is allocated to the subaccounts of the separate account. Your policy value in those subaccounts constitutes a portion of the assets of the separate account. These assets are segregated and insulated from our general account, and may not be charged with liabilities arising from any other business that we may conduct.
Assets in the General Account. You also may be permitted to make allocations to guaranteed period options of the fixed account, which are supported by the assets in our general account. Any guarantees under a policy that exceed policy value, such as those associated with any lifetime withdrawal benefit riders and any optional death benefits, are paid from our general account (and not the separate account). Therefore, any amounts that we may be obligated to pay under the policy in excess of policy value are subject to
64

our financial strength and claims-paying ability and our long-term ability to make such payments. The assets of the separate account, however, are also available to cover the liabilities of our general account, but only to the extent that the separate account assets exceed the separate account liabilities arising under the policies supported by it.
We issue other types of insurance policies and financial products as well, and we also pay our obligations under these products from our assets in the general account.
As an insurance company, we are required by state insurance regulation to hold a specified amount of reserves in order to meet all the contractual obligations of our general account. In order to meet our claims-paying obligation we monitor our reserves so that we hold sufficient amounts to cover actual or expected policy and claims payments. In addition, we hedge our investments in our general account, and may require purchasers of certain of the variable insurance products that we offer to allocate premium payments and policy value in accordance with specified investment requirements. However, it is important to note that there is no guarantee that we will always be able to meet our claims-paying obligations, and that there are risks to purchasing any insurance product.
State insurance regulators also require insurance companies to maintain a minimum amount of capital, which acts as a cushion in the event that the insurer suffers a financial impairment, based on the inherent risks in the insurer’s operations. These risks include those associated with losses that we may incur as the result of defaults on the payment of interest or principal on our general account assets, which include bonds, mortgages, general real estate investments, and stocks, as well as the loss in market value of these investments. We may also experience liquidity risk if our general account assets cannot be readily converted into cash to meet obligations to our policy owners or to provide the collateral necessary to finance our business operations.
How to Obtain More Information. We encourage both existing and prospective policy owners to read and understand our financial statements. We prepare our financial statements on a statutory basis. Our financial statements, which are presented in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Iowa Department of Insurance as well as the financial statements of the separate account are located in the Statement of Additional Information (SAI). For a free copy of the SAI, simply call or write us at the phone number or address of our Administrative Office referenced in this prospectus. In addition, the SAI is available on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov. Our financial strength ratings which reflect the opinions of leading independent rating agencies of our ability to meet our obligations to our policy owners, are available on our website (https://www.transamerica.com/individual/what-we-do/about-us/financial-strength/), and the websites of these nationally recognized statistical ratings organizations A.M. Best Company (www.ambest.com), Moody’s Investors Service (www.moodys.com), Standard & Poor’s Rating Services (www.standardandpoors.com) and Fitch, Inc. (www.fitchratings.com).
The Separate Account
Each separate account receives and invests the premium payments that are allocated to it for investment in shares of the underlying fund portfolios. Each separate account is registered with the SEC as a unit investment trust under the 1940 Act. However, the SEC does not supervise the management, the investment practices, or the policies of the separate account or us. Income, gains and losses (whether or not realized), from assets allocated to the separate account are, in accordance with the policies, credited to or charged against the separate account without regard to our other income, gains or losses.
The assets of each separate account are held in our name on behalf of the separate account and belong to us. However, those assets that underlie the policies are not chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business we may conduct. The separate account may include other subaccounts that are not available under these policies. We do not guarantee the investment results of the Separate Account.
The Funds
At the time you purchase your policy, you may allocate your premium payment to subaccounts. These are subdivisions of our separate account, an account that keeps your policy assets separate from our company assets. The subaccounts then purchase shares of underlying fund portfolios set up exclusively for variable annuity or variable life insurance products. These are not the same mutual funds that you buy through your investment professional even though they may have similar investment strategies and the same portfolio managers. Each underlying fund portfolio has varying degrees of investment risk. Underlying fund portfolios are also subject to separate fees and expenses such as management fees and operating expenses. “Master-feeder” or “fund of funds” invest substantially all of their assets in other mutual funds and will therefore bear a pro-rata share of fees and expenses incurred by both funds. This will reduce your investment return. Read the underlying fund portfolio prospectuses carefully before investing. We do not guarantee the investment results of any underlying fund portfolio. Certain underlying fund portfolios may not be available in all states and in all share classes. Please see “Appendix - Underlying Fund Portfolios Associated with the Subaccounts” for additional information.

Other Transamerica Policies
We offer a variety of fixed and variable annuity policies. They may offer features, including investment options, and have fees and charges, that are different from those in the policy offered by this Prospectus. Not every policy we issue is offered through every financial intermediary. Some financial intermediaries may not offer and/or limit the offering of certain features or options, as well as limit the availability of the policies, based on issue age, or other criteria established by the financial intermediary. Upon request, your financial professional can show you information regarding other Transamerica annuity policies that he or she distributes. You can also contact us to find out more about the availability of any of the Transamerica annuity policies.
You should work with your financial professional to decide whether this policy is appropriate for you based on a thorough analysis of your particular insurance needs, financial objectives, investment goals, time horizons and risk tolerance.
Distribution of the Policies
Distribution and Principal Underwriting Agreement. We have entered into a principal underwriting agreement with our affiliate, Transamerica Capital, Inc. (TCI), for the distribution and sale of the policies. We pay commissions to TCI which are passed through to selling firms. (See below). We also pay TCI an “override” that is a percentage of total commissions paid on sales of our policies which is not passed through to the selling firms and we may reimburse TCI for certain expenses it incurs in order to pay for the distribution of the policies. TCI markets the policies through bank affiliated firms, national brokerage firms, regional and independent broker-dealers and independent financial planners.
Compensation to Broker-Dealers Selling the Policies. The policies are offered to the public through broker-dealers (“selling firms”) that are licensed under the federal securities laws; the selling firm and/or its affiliates are also licensed under state insurance laws. The selling firms have entered into written selling agreements with us and with TCI as principal underwriter for the policies. We pay commissions through TCI to the selling firms for their sales of the policies.
A limited number of affiliated and unaffiliated broker-dealers were paid commissions and overrides to “wholesale” the policies, that is, to provide sales support and training to sales representatives at the selling firms. We also provide compensation to a limited number of broker-dealers for providing ongoing service in relation to the policies that have already been purchased.
The selling firms that have selling agreements with us and TCI are paid commissions for the promotion and sale of the policies according to one or more schedules. The amount and timing of commissions may vary depending on the selling agreement, and the share purchased, but the commission range is from 1.25% up to 7.2% of premium payments (additional amounts may be paid as overrides to wholesalers).
To the extent permitted by Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) rules, TCI may pay (or allow other broker-dealers to provide) promotional incentives or payments in the form of cash or non-cash compensation or reimbursement to some, but not all, selling firms and their sales representatives. These arrangements are sometimes referred to as “revenue sharing” arrangements and are described further below.
The sales representative who sells you the policy typically receives a portion of the compensation we (and our affiliates) pay to the selling firms, depending on the agreement between the selling firm and its registered representative and the firm's internal compensation program. These programs may include other types of cash and non-cash compensation and other benefits. Ask your sales representative for further information about the compensation your sales representative, and the selling firm that employs your sales representative, may receive in connection with your purchase of a policy. Also inquire about any revenue sharing arrangements that we and our affiliates may have with the selling firm, including the conflicts of interests that such arrangements may create.
You should be aware that a selling firm or its sales representatives may receive different compensation or incentives for selling one product over another. In some cases, these differences may create an incentive for the selling firm or its sales representatives to recommend or sell this policy to you. You may wish to take such incentives into account when considering and evaluating any recommendation relating to the policies.
Special Compensation Paid to Affiliated Firms. We and/or our affiliates provide paid-in capital to TCI and pay the cost of TCI's operating and other expenses, including costs for facilities, legal and accounting services, and other internal administrative functions. We and/or our affiliates also provide TCI with a percentage of total commissions paid on sales of our policies and provide TCI with capital payments that are not contingent on sales.
TCI's registered representatives and supervisors may receive non-cash compensation, such as attendance at conferences, seminars and trips (such as travel, lodging and meals in connection therewith), entertainment, merchandise and other similar items, payments, loans, loan forgiveness or loan guarantees.
66

Additional Compensation That We, TCI and/or Our Affiliates Pay to Selected Selling Firms. TCI, in connection with the sales of the policies, may pay certain selling firms additional cash amounts for “preferred product” treatment of the policies in their marketing programs in order to receive enhanced marketing services and increased access to their sales representatives. In exchange for providing TCI with access to their distribution network, such selling firms may receive additional compensation or reimbursement for, among other things, the hiring and training of sales personnel, marketing, sponsoring of conferences, meetings, seminars, events, and/or other services they provide to us and our affiliates. To the extent permitted by applicable law, TCI and other parties may provide the selling firms with occasional gifts, meals, tickets or other non-cash compensation as an incentive to sell the policies. These special compensation arrangements are not offered to all selling firms and the terms of such arrangements may differ among selling firms.
In addition, TCI paid selling firms other special fees based on new sales and/or assets under management. During 2014, TCI had such “preferred product” arrangements with at least 52 broker-dealers and other financial intermediaries. Some of the more significant entities were:
AXA Network, LLC • BBVA Securities, Inc. • Cambridge Investment Research, Inc. • CCO Investments • Centarus Financial, Inc. •  Cetera Advisors LLC• Cetera Advisors Networks LLC• Cetera Financial Specialists LLC • Cetera Investment Services LLC• CFD Investments, Inc. • Commonwealth Financial Network • Edward D. Jones & Co., L.P. • Equity Services, Inc. • Fifth Third Securities, Inc. • First Allied Holdings, Inc. • FSC Securities Corporation • Gary Goldberg & Company, Inc. • Hantz Financial Services, Inc. •  Invest Financial Corporation • Investacorp, Inc. • Investment Centers of America, Inc. • James T. Borello & Co, • Janney Montgomery Scott, LLC • LPL Financial, LLC. • M&T Securities Product Management • Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Inc. • MetLife Securities, Inc. • Money Concepts Capital Corporation • Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, Inc. • National Planning Corporation • New England Securities Corporation • NFP Securities Inc. • Park Avenue Securities, LLC • Raymond James & Associates, Inc. • Raymond James Financial Services, Inc. • Royal Alliance Associates, Inc. • SagePoint Financial, Inc. • Securities America, Inc. • Sigma Financial Corporation • Signator Investors, Inc. • SII Investments, Inc. • SunTrust Investment Services • The Huntington Investment Company • Transamerica Financial Advisors, Inc. • Triad Advisors, Inc. • US Bancorp Investments, Inc. • VOYA Financial Partners, LLC • VSR Financial Services, Inc. • Wells Fargo Advisors, LLC • Wells Fargo Advisors Financial Network LLC •  Wells Fargo Investments LLC • Woodbury Financial
For the calendar year ended December 31, 2014 TCI paid approximately 28,300,000 various brokers and other financial intermediaries in connection with revenue sharing arrangements.
No specific charge is assessed directly to owners or the separate account to cover commissions, non-cash compensation, and other incentives or payments described above. We do intend to recoup commissions and other sales expenses and incentives we pay, however, through fees and charges deducted under the policy and other corporate revenue.

APPENDIX
Excess Interest Adjustment Examples
Surrenders (full and partial), transfers, death benefits and amounts applied to an annuity option, from a guaranteed period option of the fixed account before the end of its guaranteed period (the number of years you specified the money would remain in the guaranteed period option) may be subject to an excess interest adjustment (“EIA”). If, at the time of such transactions the guaranteed interest rate set by us for the applicable period has risen since the date of the initial guarantee, the excess interest adjustment will result in a lower cash value. However, if the guaranteed interest rate set by us for the applicable period has fallen since the date of the initial guarantee, the excess interest adjustment will result in a higher cash value.
Excess interest adjustments will not reduce the adjusted policy value for a guaranteed period option below the premium payments and transfers to that guaranteed period option, less any prior partial surrenders and transfers from the guaranteed period option, plus interest at the policy's minimum guaranteed effective annual interest rate. This is referred to as the excess interest adjustment floor.
The formula that will be used to determine the excess interest adjustment is:
S* (G-C)* (M/12)
S = Is the amount (before surrender charges, premium taxes and the application of any Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefits, if any) being surrendered, withdrawn, transferred, paid upon death, or applied to an income option that is subject to the excess interest adjustment.
G = Is the guaranteed interest rate for the guaranteed period applicable to “S”;
C = Is the current guaranteed interest rate then being offered on new premium payments for the next longer option period than “M”. If this policy form or such an option period is no longer offered, “C” will be the U.S. Treasury rate for the next longer maturity (in whole years) than “M” on the 25th day of the previous calendar month; and
M = Number of months remaining in the current option period for “S”, rounded up to the next higher whole number of months.
* = multiplication
The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and are calculated using hypothetical values. Your experience will vary based on circumstances at the time of withdrawal. In the following examples ^ denotes exponentiation. Please note the exponentiation represents the compounding of the interest rate.

Excess Interest Adjustment Examples — (Continued)
Example 1 (Full Surrender, rates increase by 3%):
Assumptions:
Single premium payment = $50,000
Guarantee period = 5 Years
Guarantee rate = 5.5% per annum
Guaranteed minimum interest rate = 1.50%
Surrender in the middle of policy year 2
Summary:  
Policy value at middle of policy year 2 = 50,000.00 * (1.055) ^ 1.5 = 54,181.21
Cumulative earnings = 54,181.21 50,000.00 = 4,181.21
Amount free of excess interest adjustment = 4,181.21
Amount subject to excess interest adjustment = 54,181.21 4,181.21 = 50,000.00
Excess interest adjustment floor = 50,000.00 * (1.015) ^ 1.5 = 51,129.21
Excess interest adjustment S*(G-C)*(M/12) where: G = .055
C = .085
M = 42
  = -5,250.00, but excess interest adjustment cannot cause the adjusted policy value to fall below the excess interest adjustment floor, so the adjustment is limited to
51,129.21 - 54,181.21 = -3,052.00
Adjusted policy value = policy value + excess interest adjustment = 54,181.21 + (-3,052.00) = 51,129.21
Upon full surrender of the policy, the net surrender value (adjusted policy value less any surrender charge) will never be less than that required by the non-forfeiture laws of your state.
Example 2 (Full Surrender, rates decrease by 1%):
Assumptions:
Single premium payment = $50,000
Guarantee period = 5 Years
Guarantee rate = 5.5% per annum
Guaranteed minimum interest rate = 1.50%
Surrender in the middle of policy year 2
Summary:  
Policy value at middle of policy year 2 = 50,000.00 * (1.055) ^ 1.5 = 54,181.21
Cumulative earnings = 54,181.21 50,000.00 = 4,181.21
Amount free of excess interest adjustment = 4,181.21
Amount subject to excess interest adjustment = 54,181.21 4,181.21 = 50,000.00
Excess interest adjustment floor = 50,000.00 * (1.015) ^ 1.5 = 51,129.21
Excess interest adjustment S* (G-C)* (M/12) where: G = .055
C = .045
M = 42
= 50,000.00 * (.055-.045) * (42/12) = 1,750.00
Adjusted policy value = 54,181.21 + 1,750.00 = 55,931.21
Upon full surrender of the policy, the net surrender value will never by less than that required by the non-forfeiture laws of your state. For the purpose of these illustrations no surrender charges are assumed.

Excess Interest Adjustment Examples — (Continued)
On a partial surrender, we will pay the policyholder the full amount of surrender requested (as long as the policy value is sufficient). Amounts surrendered will reduce the policy value by an amount equal to:
R - E + SC
R = the requested partial surrender;
E = the excess interest adjustment; and
SC = the surrender charges on (EPW - E): where
EPW = the excess partial withdrawal amount.
Example 3 (Partial Surrender, rates increase by 1%):
Assumptions:
Single premium payment = $50,000
Guarantee period = 5 Years
Guarantee rate = 5.5% per annum
Partial Surrender of $20,000 in the middle of policy year 2
Summary:  
Policy value at middle of policy year 2 = 50,000.00 * (1.055) ^ 1.5 = 54,181.21
Cumulative earnings = 54,181.21 50,000.00 = 4,181.21
Amount free of excess interest adjustment = 4,181.21
Excess interest adjustment S*(G-C)*(M/12) where: S = 20,000 4,181.21 = 15,818.79
G = .055
C = .065
M = 42
= 15,818.79 * (.055 - .065) * (42/12) = -553.66
Remaining policy value at middle of policy year 2 = 54,181.21 - (R - E + surrender charge)
= 54,181.21 - (20,000.00 - (-553.66) + 0.00) = 33,627.55
Example 4 (Partial Surrender, rates decrease by 1%):
Assumptions:
Single premium payment = $50,000
Guarantee period = 5 Years
Guarantee rate = 5.5% per annum
Partial Surrender of $20,000 in the middle of policy year 2
Summary:  
Policy value at middle of policy year 2 = 50,000.00 * (1.055) ^ 1.5 = 54,181.21
Cumulative earnings = 54,181.21 50,000.00 = 4,181.21
Amount free of excess interest adjustment = 4,181.21
Excess interest adjustment S*(G-C)*(M/12) where: S = 20,000 4,181.21 = 15,818.79
G = .055
C = .045
M = 42
= 15,818.79 * (.055 - .045)* (42/12) = 553.66
Remaining policy value at middle of policy year 2 = 54,181.21 - (R - E + surrender charge)
= 54,181.21 - (20,000.00 553.66 + 0.00) = 34,734.87

APPENDIX
Death Benefit
Adjusted Withdrawals. If you make a partial surrender (withdrawal), then your guaranteed minimum death benefit is reduced by an amount called the adjusted withdrawal. The amount of the reduction depends on the relationship between your death proceeds and policy value. The adjusted withdrawal is equal to the gross withdrawal multiplied by the death proceeds immediately prior to the withdrawal divided by the policy value immediately prior to the withdrawal. The formula is AW = GW x (DP/PV) where:
AW = adjusted withdrawal
GW= gross withdrawal
DP = death proceeds prior to the withdrawal = greatest of (PV, CV, or GMDB)
PV = policy value prior to the withdrawal
GMDB = guaranteed minimum death benefit prior to the withdrawal
CV = cash value prior to the withdrawal
The following examples describe the effect of a surrender on the guaranteed minimum death benefit and policy value.
Example 1: Death Proceeds Greater than Policy Value
Assumptions:
GMDB = $75,000
PV = $50,000
DP = $75,000
GW = $15,494
AW = $15,494 x ($75,000/$50,000) = $23,241
Summary:  
Reduction in guaranteed minimum death benefit =$23,241
Reduction in policy value =$15,494
New guaranteed minimum death benefit amount =$51,759
New policy value (after withdrawal) =$34,506
The guaranteed minimum death benefit is reduced more than the policy value because the guaranteed minimum death benefit was greater than the policy value immediately prior to the withdrawal.
Example 2: Death Proceeds Equal to Policy Value
Assumptions:
GMDB = $50,000
PV = $75,000
DP = $75,000
GW = $15,494
AW = $15,494 x ($75,000/$75,000) = $15,494
Summary:  
Reduction in guaranteed minimum death benefit =$15,494
Reduction in policy value =$15,494
New guaranteed minimum death benefit amount =$34,506
New policy value (after withdrawal) =$59,506
The guaranteed minimum death benefit and policy value are reduced by the same amount because the policy value was greater than the guaranteed minimum death benefit immediately prior to the withdrawal.
These examples are for illustrative purposes only. The purpose of these illustrations is to demonstrate how this feature is calculated using hypothetical values. Your experience will vary based on circumstances at the time of withdrawal.

Death Benefit — (Continued)
Hypothetical Example
In this example, certain death benefit values at various points in time are depicted based on hypothetical assumed rates of performance. This example is for illustrative purposes only and assumes a single $100,000 premium payment by a sole owner and annuitant who is age 50. It further assumes no subsequent premium payments or withdrawals. The difference between the two “Policy Value” columns is the fee for the guaranteed minimum death benefit.

* The assumed rate does reflect the deduction of a hypothetical fund fee but does not reflect the deduction of any other fees, charges or taxes. The death benefit values do reflect the deduction of hypothetical base policy fees and hypothetical death benefit fees. For purposes of this example we assumed a Mortality and Expense Risk Fee and Administrative Charge of 1.15% for Policy Value, 1.30% for Return of Premium and 1.50% for Annual Step-Up. Different hypothetical returns and fees would produce different results.

APPENDIX
ADDITIONAL DEATH DISTRIBUTION RIDER
The following example illustrates the Additional Death Distribution additional death benefit payable by this rider as well as the effect of a partial surrender on the Additional Death Distribution benefit amount. The annuitant is less than age 71 on the Rider Date.
Example 1
Assumptions:
Policy value on the rider date = $100,000
Premiums paid after the rider date before surrender = $25,000
Gross partial surrenders after the rider date = $30,000
Policy value on date of surrender = $150,000
Summary:  
Rider earnings on date of surrender (policy value on date of surrender policy value on rider date premiums paid after rider date + surrenders since rider date that exceeded rider earnings = $150,000 - $100,000 - $25,000 + 0): $ 25,000
Amount of surrender that exceeds rider earnings ($30,000 - $25,000): $ 5,000
Base policy death benefit (assumed) on the date of death benefit calculation: $200,000
Policy value on the date of death benefit calculations: $175,000
Rider earnings (= policy value on date of death benefit calculations policy value on rider date premiums since rider date + surrenders since rider date that exceeded rider earnings = $175,000 - $100,000 - $25,000 + $5,000): $ 55,000
Additional death benefit amount (= additional death benefit factor * rider earnings = 40%* $55,000): $ 22,000
Total death benefit paid (= base policy death benefit plus additional death benefit amount): $222,000
Example 2
Assumptions:
Policy value on the rider date = $100,000
Premiums paid after the rider date before surrender = $0
Gross partial surrenders after the rider date = $0
Base policy death benefit (assumed) on the date of death benefit calculation = $100,000
Policy value on the date of death benefit calculations = $75,000
Summary:  
Rider earnings (= policy value on date of death benefit calculations policy value on rider date premiums since rider date + surrenders since rider date that exceeded rider earnings = $75,000 - $100,000 - $0 + $0): $ 0
Additional death benefit amount (= additional death benefit factor * rider earnings = 40%* $0): $ 0
Total death benefit paid (= base policy death benefit plus additional death benefit amount): $100,000

APPENDIX
ADDITIONAL DEATH DISTRIBUTION+ RIDER
Assume the Additional Death Distribution+ is added to a new policy opened with $100,000 initial premium payment. The annuitant is less than age 71 on the rider date. On the first and second rider anniversaries, the policy value is $110,000 and $95,000 respectively when the rider fees are deducted. The annuitant adds a $25,000 premium payment in the 3rd rider year when the policy value is equal to $115,000 and then takes a withdrawal of $35,000 during the 4th rider year when the policy value is equal to $145,000. After 5 years, the policy value is equal to $130,000 and the death proceeds are equal to $145,000.
Example 1
Assumptions:
Account value on rider date (equals initial policy value since new policy) = $100,000
Additional death benefit during first rider year = $0
Rider fee on first rider anniversary (= rider fee * policy value = 0.55% * $110,000) = $605
Additional death benefit during 2nd rider year (= sum of total rider fees paid) = $605
Summary:  
Rider fee on second rider anniversary (= rider fee * policy value = 0.55% * $95,000) $ 522.50
Additional death benefit during 3rd rider year (= sum of total rider fees paid = $605 + $522.50) $ 1,127.50
Rider benefit base in 3rd rider year prior to premium addition (= account value less premiums added since rider date = $115,000 $0) $115,000.00
Rider benefit base in 3rd rider year after premium addition (= $140,000 - $25,000) $115,000.00
Rider benefit base in 4th rider year prior to withdrawal (= account value less premiums added since rider date = $145,000 - $25,000) $120,000.00
Rider benefit base in 4th rider year after withdrawal = (account value less premiums added since rider date =$110,000 - $25,000) $ 85,000.00
Rider benefit base in 5th rider year (= $130,000 - $25,000) $105,000.00
Additional death benefit = rider benefit percentage * rider benefit base = 30% * $105,000 $ 31,500.00
Total death proceeds in 5th rider year (= base policy death proceeds + additional death benefit amount = $145,000 + $31,500) $176,500.00

APPENDIX
GUARANTEED PRINCIPAL SOLUTIONSM RIDER ADJUSTED PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS
The following examples show the effect of withdrawals on the benefits under the Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider.
GUARANTEED MINIMUM ACCUMULATION BENEFIT
Gross partial withdrawals will reduce the guaranteed future value by an amount equal to the greater of:
1)  the gross partial withdrawal amount; and
2)  a pro rata amount, the result of (A / B) * C, where:
A  is the amount of gross partial withdrawal;
B  is the policy value immediately prior to the gross partial withdrawal; and
C  is the guaranteed future value immediately prior to the gross partial withdrawal.
The following demonstrates, on a purely hypothetical basis, the effects of partial withdrawals under the guaranteed minimum accumulation benefit.
Example 1:
Assumptions:
Policy value prior to withdrawal (“PV”) = $90,000
Guaranteed future value prior to withdrawal (“GFV”) = $100,000
Gross withdrawal amount (“WD”) = $10,000
Step One.  What is the pro rata value of the amount withdrawn?
1.  Formula is (WD / PV) * GFV = pro rata amount
2.  ($10,000 / $90,000) * $100,000 = $11,111.11
Step Two.  Which is larger, the $10,000 withdrawal or the $11,111.11 pro rata amount?
$11,111.11 pro rata amount
Step Three.  After the withdrawal is taken, what will be new guaranteed future value?
$100,000 - $11,111.11 = $88,888.89
Result.   If no more withdrawals are taken, the guaranteed future value on the 10th rider anniversary is $88,888.89.
Example 2:
Assumptions:
PV = $120,000
GFV= $100,000
WD= $10,000
Step One.  What is the pro rata value of the amount withdrawn?
1.  Formula is (WD / PV) * GFV = pro rata amount
2.  ($10,000 / $120,000) * $100,000 = $8,333.33
Step Two.  Which is larger, the $10,000 withdrawal or the $8,333.33 pro rata amount?
$10,000 withdrawal
Step Three.  After the withdrawal is taken, what will be new guaranteed future value?
$100,000 - $10,000 = $90,000
Result.   If no more withdrawals are taken, the guaranteed future value on the 10th Rider Anniversary is $90,000.
GUARANTEED LIFETIME WITHDRAWAL BENEFIT
Total Withdrawal Base.  Gross partial withdrawals up to the maximum annual withdrawal amount will not reduce the total withdrawal base. Gross partial withdrawals in excess of the maximum annual withdrawal amount will reduce the total withdrawal base by an amount equal to the greater of:
1)  the excess gross partial withdrawal amount; and
105

GUARANTEED PRINCIPAL SOLUTIONSM RIDER ADJUSTED PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS — (Continued)
2)  a pro rata amount, the result of (A / B) * C, where:
A  is the excess gross partial withdrawal (the amount in excess of the guaranteed annual withdrawal amount remaining prior to the withdrawal);
B  is the policy value after the maximum annual withdrawal amount has been withdrawn, but prior to the withdrawal of the excess amount; and
C  is the total withdrawal base prior to the withdrawal of the excess amount.
Minimum Remaining Withdrawal Amount.  Gross partial withdrawals up to the maximum annual withdrawal amount will reduce the minimum remaining withdrawal amount by the same amount (dollar-for-dollar). Gross partial withdrawals in excess of the maximum annual withdrawal amount will reduce the minimum remaining withdrawal amount by an amount equal to the greater of:
1)  the excess gross partial withdrawal amount; and
2)  a pro rata amount, the result of (A / B) * C, where:
A  is the excess gross partial withdrawal (the amount in excess of the guaranteed annual withdrawal amount remaining prior to the withdrawal);
B  is the policy value after the maximum annual withdrawal amount has been withdrawn, but prior to the withdrawal of the excess amount; and
C  is the minimum remaining withdrawal amount after the maximum annual withdrawal amount has been withdrawn, but prior to the withdrawal of the excess amount.
The following demonstrates, on a purely hypothetical basis, the effects of partial withdrawals under the guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit.
When a withdrawal is taken, three parts of the guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit can be affected:
1.  Minimum remaining withdrawal amount (“MRWA”)
2.  Total withdrawal base (“TWB”)
3.  Maximum annual withdrawal amount (“MAWA”)
Example 1 (7% “principal back”):
Assumptions:
TWB = $100,000
MRWA = $100,000
7% WD would be $7,000 (7% of the current $100,000 total withdrawal base)
WD = $7,000
Excess withdrawal (“EWD”) = None
PV = $100,000
You = Owner and Annuitant (Age 60)
Step One.  Is any portion of the withdrawal greater than the “principal back” maximum annual withdrawal amount?
No.  There is no excess withdrawal under the “principal back” guarantee if no more than $7,000 is withdrawn.
Step Two.  What is the minimum remaining withdrawal amount after the withdrawal has been taken?
1.  Total to deduct from the minimum remaining withdrawal amount is $7,000 (there is no excess to deduct)
2.  $100,000 - $7,000 = $93,000.
Result.  In this example, because no portion of the withdrawal was in excess of $7,000, the “principal back” total withdrawal base does not change and the “principal back” minimum remaining withdrawal amount is $93,000.00.
Example 2 (7% “principal back”):
Assumptions:
TWB = $100,000
MRWA = $100,000
7% WD would be $7,000 (7% of the current $100,000 total withdrawal base)
WD = $8,000
EWD = $1,000 ($8,000 - $7,000)
PV = $90,000
You = Owner and Annuitant (Age 60)

GUARANTEED PRINCIPAL SOLUTIONSM RIDER ADJUSTED PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS — (Continued)
Step One.  Is any portion of the total withdrawal greater than the maximum annual withdrawal amount?
Yes.  $8,000 - $7,000 = $1,000 (the excess withdrawal amount)
Step Two.  Calculate how much of the “principal back” minimum remaining withdrawal amount is affected by the excess withdrawal.
1.  Formula for pro rata amount is: (EWD / (PV - 7% WD)) * (MRWA - 7% WD)
2.  ($1,000 / ($90,000 - $7,000)) * ($100,000 - $7,000) = $1,120.48
Step Three.  Which is larger, the actual $1,000 excess withdrawal amount or the $1,120.48 pro rata amount?
$1,120.48 pro rata amount
Step Four.  What is the “principal back” minimum remaining withdrawal amount after the withdrawal has been taken?
1.  Total to deduct from the minimum remaining withdrawal amount is $7,000 + $1,120.48 (pro rata excess) = $8,120.48
2.  $100,000 - $8,120.48 = $91,879.52
Result.  The “principal back” minimum remaining withdrawal amount is $91,879.52.
NOTE.  For the guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit, because there was an excess withdrawal amount, the total withdrawal base needs to be adjusted as well as a new lower maximum annual withdrawal amount. Had the withdrawal for this example not been more than $7,000, the “principal back” total withdrawal base would remain at $100,000 and the “principal back” maximum annual withdrawal amount would be $7,000. However, because an excess withdrawal has been taken, the total withdrawal base is also changed (this is the amount the 7% is based on).
New “principal back” total withdrawal base:
Step One.  The total withdrawal base is only reduced by the excess withdrawal amount or the pro rata amount if greater.
Step Two.  Calculate how much the total withdrawal base is affected by the excess withdrawal.
1.  The formula is (EWD / (PV - 7% WD)) * TWB before any adjustments
2.  ($1,000 / ($90,000 - $7,000)) * $100,000 = $1,204.82
Step Three.  Which is larger, the actual $1,000 excess withdrawal amount or the $1,204.82 pro rata amount?
$1,204.82 pro rata amount.
Step Four.  What is the new total withdrawal base upon which the maximum annual withdrawal amount is based?
$100,000 - $1,204.82 = $98,795.18
Result.   The new “principal back” total withdrawal base is $98,795.18
New “principal back” maximum annual withdrawal amount:
Because the “principal back” total withdrawal base was adjusted (due to the excess withdrawal) we have to calculate a new maximum annual withdrawal amount for the 7% “principal back” guarantee that will be available starting on the next rider anniversary. This calculation assumes no more activity prior to the next rider anniversary.
Step One.  What is the new “principal back” maximum annual withdrawal amount?
$98,795.18 (the adjusted total withdrawal base) * 7% = $6,915.66
Result.  Going forward, the maximum you can take out in a rider year is $6,915.66 without causing an excess withdrawal for the “principal back” guarantee and further reduction of the “principal back” total withdrawal base.
Example 3 (5% “for life”):
Assumptions:
TWB = $100,000
MRWA = $100,000
5% WD would be $5,000 (5% of the current $100,000 total withdrawal base)
WD = $5,000
Excess withdrawal (“EWD”) = None
PV = $100,000
You = Owner and Annuitant (Age 60)
Step One.  Is any portion of the withdrawal greater than the “for life” maximum annual withdrawal amount?
No.  There is no excess withdrawal under the “for life” guarantee if no more than $5,000 is withdrawn.
107

GUARANTEED PRINCIPAL SOLUTIONSM RIDER ADJUSTED PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS — (Continued)
Step Two.  What is the minimum remaining withdrawal amount after the withdrawal has been taken?
1.  Total to deduct from the minimum remaining withdrawal amount is $5,000 (there is no excess to deduct).
2.  $100,000 - $5,000 = $95,000.
Result.  In this example, because no portion of the withdrawal was in excess of $5,000, the “for life” total withdrawal base does not change and the “for life” minimum remaining withdrawal amount is $95,000.00.
Example 4 (5% “for life”):
Assumptions:
TWB = $100,000
MRWA = $100,000
5% WD would be $5,000 (5% of the current $100,000 total withdrawal base)
WD = $7,000
EWD = $2,000 ($7,000 - $5,000)
PV = $90,000
You = Owner and Annuitant (Age 60)
Step One.  Is any portion of the total withdrawal greater than the maximum annual withdrawal amount?
Yes.  $7,000 - $5,000 = $2,000 (the excess withdrawal amount)
Step Two.  Calculate how much of the “for life” minimum remaining withdrawal amount is affected by the excess withdrawal.
1.  Formula for pro rata amount is: (EWD / (PV - 5% WD)) * (MRWA - 5% WD)
2.  ($2,000 / ($90,000 - $5,000)) * ($100,000 - $5,000) = $2,235.29
Step Three.  Which is larger, the actual $2,000 excess withdrawal amount or the $2,235.29 pro rata amount?
$2,235.29 pro rata amount
Step Four.  What is the “for life” minimum remaining withdrawal amount after the withdrawal has been taken?
1.  Total to deduct from the minimum remaining withdrawal amount is $5,000 + $2,235.29 (pro rata excess) = $7,235.29
2.  $100,000 - $7,235.29 = $92,764.71
Result.   The “for life” minimum remaining withdrawal amount is $92,764.71.
NOTE.  For the guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit, because there was an excess withdrawal amount, the total withdrawal base needs to be adjusted as well as a new lower maximum annual withdrawal amount. Had the withdrawal for this example not been more than $5,000, the “for life” total withdrawal base would remain at $100,000 and the “for life” maximum annual withdrawal amount would be $5,000. However, because an excess withdrawal has been taken, the total withdrawal base is also changed (this is the amount the 5% is based on).
New “for life” total withdrawal base:
Step One.  The total withdrawal base is only reduced by the excess withdrawal amount or the pro rata amount if greater.
Step Two.  Calculate how much the total withdrawal base is affected by the excess withdrawal.
1.  The formula is (EWD / (PV - 5% WD)) * TWB before any adjustments
2.  ($2,000 / ($90,000 - $5,000)) * $100,000 = $2,352.94
Step Three.  Which is larger, the actual $2,000 excess withdrawal amount or the $2,352.94 pro rata amount?
$2,352.94 pro rata amount.
Step Four.  What is the new total withdrawal base upon which the maximum annual withdrawal amount is based?
$100,000 - $2,352.94 = $97,647.06
Result.   The new “for life” total withdrawal base is $97,647.06

New “for life” maximum annual withdrawal amount:
Because the “for life” total withdrawal base was adjusted (due to the excess withdrawal) we have to calculate a new maximum annual withdrawal amount for the 5% “for life” guarantee that will be available starting on the next rider anniversary. This calculation assumes no more activity prior to the next rider anniversary.
Step One.  What is the new “for life” maximum annual withdrawal amount?
$97,647.06 (the adjusted total withdrawal base) * 5% = $4,882.35

APPENDIX
PAM METHOD TRANSFERS
To make the Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider available, we monitor your policy value and guarantees under the rider daily and periodically transfer amounts between your selected investment options and the PAM Subaccount. We determine the amount and timing of PAM Method transfers between the investment options and the PAM Subaccount according to a mathematical model.
The mathematical model is designed to calculate how much of your policy value should be allocated to the PAM Subaccount. Based on this calculation, transfers into or out of the PAM Subaccount will occur. The formula is:
Percent of Policy Value required in PAM Subaccount (or X) = e-Dividend*Time *(1- NormDist(d1))
where:
e = Base of the Natural Logarithm
NormDist = Cumulative Standard Normal Distribution
d1 = [ln(G)+(R F +.5*V ^ 2)* T]/[V * T^.5]
In order to calculate the percent of policy value required in the PAM Subaccount, we must first calculate d1:
d1 = [ln(G)+(R F +.5*V ^ 2)* T]/[V * T^.5]
where:
ln = Natural Logarithm Function
G = Guarantee Ratio
R = Rate
F = Fees
V = Volatility
T = Time
After calculating d1, the percent of policy value required in the PAM Subaccount can be calculated. Once calculated, appropriate transfers into or out of the PAM Subaccount will occur.
Following is a brief discussion of the values used in the formula.
The POLICY VALUE includes the value in both the investment options and in the PAM Subaccount.
The GUARANTEE RATIO is the policy value divided by 7% “Principal Back” Minimum Remaining Withdrawal Amount.
The RATE is the interest rate used for the PAM Method. It is based on a long-term expectation based on historical interest rates and may vary over time.
The FEES is an approximation of average policy fees and charges associated with policies that have elected the Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider. This value may change over time.
The VOLATILITY represents the volatility of the returns of policy value for all in force policies and is based on the long-term expectation of the degree to which the policy values tend to fluctuate. This value may vary over time.
The TIME is an approximation based on actuarial calculations of historical average number of years (including any fraction) which we anticipate remain until any potential payments are made under the benefit. This value may vary over time.
The PERCENT OF POLICY VALUE TO BE ALLOCATED TO THE PAM SUBACCOUNT is computed for each policy. Ultimately the allocation for a policy takes into account the guarantees under the rider and the limit on allocations to the PAM Subaccount.
The CUMULATIVE STANDARD NORMAL DISTRIBUTION function assumes that random events are distributed according to the classic bell curve. For a given value it computes the percentage of such events which can be expected to be less than that value.
The NATURAL LOGARITHM function for a given value, computes the power to which e must be raised, in order to result in that value. Here, e is the base of the natural logarithms, or approximately 2.718282.
110

PAM METHOD TRANSFERS — (Continued)
Example:
Day 1: Policy Value Declines by 10%
For purposes of this example we will assume that the policy value declines by 10% to $90,000 the day after the rider issue date from the initial premium amount of $100,000 producing a guarantee ratio of 90% ($90,000/$100,000). We will also assume:
Guarantee Ratio = 90%
Rate = 4.5%
Volatility = 10%
Fees = 3%
Time = 20
First we calculate d1.
d1=[ln(G)+(R F +.5*V ^ 2)* T]/[V * T^.5]
d1=[ln(.90)+(.045 .03 +.5*.10 ^ 2)* 20]/[.10 * 20^.5]
d1=.658832
Using the value we just calculated for d1 we can now calculate the percent of policy value required in the PAM Subaccount.
Percent of Policy Value in PAM Subaccount (or X) = e-Dividend*Time *(1-NormDist(d1))
X= (2.718282 ^ -.03 * 20) * (1 NormDist(.658832))
X = 13.9948%
Therefore, 13.9948% of the policy value is transferred to the PAM Subaccount, resulting in a total transfer of $12,595.32.
Day 2: Policy Value Recovers to 105% of Initial Value after the 10% Decline
For purposes of this example we will assume that after the policy value declined to $90,000 it recovered the next day to $105,000 producing a guarantee ratio of 105% ($105,000/$100,000). We will also assume:
Guarantee Ratio = 105%
Rate = 4.5%
Volatility = 10%
Fees = 3%
Time = 20
First we calculate d1.
d1=[ln(G)+(R F +.5*V ^ 2)* T]/[V * T^.5]
d1=[ln(1.05)+(.045 .03 +.5*.10 ^ 2)* 20]/[.10 * 20^.5]
d1= 1.003524
Using the value we just calculated for d1 we can now calculate the percent of policy value required in the PAM Subaccount.
Percent of Policy Value in PAM Subaccount (or X) = e-Dividend*Time *(1 - NormDist(d1))
X= (2.718282 ^ -.03 * 20) * (1 NormDist(1.003524))
X = 8.6605%
While the mathematical model would suggest we transfer only a portion of the policy value in the PAM Subaccount into your investment options (leaving 8.6605% in the PAM Subaccount), all of the policy value in the PAM Subaccount will be transferred into your investment options. If the Guarantee Ratio equals or exceeds 100%, then your policy value is greater than or equal to the value of the guarantee and there is no current need for any policy value to be allocated to the PAM Subaccount.

APPENDIX
Hypothetical Adjusted Partial Surrenders -Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit Riders
When a withdrawal is taken, three parts of the guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit can be affected:
1.  Withdrawal Base (“WB”) (also referred to as Total Withdrawal Base (“TWB”) for some riders);
2.  Rider Withdrawal Amount (“RWA”) (also referred to as Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount (“MAWA”) for some riders); and
3.  Rider Death Benefit (“RDB”) (also referred to as Minimum Remaining Withdrawal Amount (“MRWA”) for some riders (if applicable)).
Withdrawal Base.  Gross partial withdrawals in a rider year up to the rider withdrawal amount will not reduce the withdrawal base. Gross partial withdrawals in a rider year in excess of the rider withdrawal amount will reduce the withdrawal base by an amount equal to the greater of:
1)  the excess gross partial withdrawal amount; and
2)  a pro rata amount, the result of (A / B) * C, where:
A  is the excess gross partial withdrawal (the amount in excess of the rider withdrawal amount remaining prior to the withdrawal);
B  is the policy value after the rider withdrawal amount has been withdrawn, but prior to the withdrawal of the excess amount; and
C  is the withdrawal base prior to the withdrawal of the excess amount.
Rider Death Benefit.  Gross partial withdrawals in a rider year up to the rider withdrawal amount will reduce the rider death benefit by the amount withdrawn (dollar-for-dollar). Gross partial withdrawals in a rider year in excess of the rider withdrawal amount will reduce the rider death benefit by an amount equal to the greater of:
1)  the excess gross partial withdrawal amount; and
2)  a pro rata amount, the result of (A / B) * C, where:
A  is the excess gross partial withdrawal (the amount in excess of the rider withdrawal amount remaining prior to the withdrawal);
B  is the policy value after the rider withdrawal amount has been withdrawn, but prior to the withdrawal of the excess amount; and
C  is the rider death benefit after the rider withdrawal amount has been withdrawn, but prior to the withdrawal of the excess amount.
The following demonstrates, on a purely hypothetical basis, the effects of partial withdrawals under a guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit. The withdrawal percentages shown may not be available on all riders. Certain features (growth and rider death benefits) may not be available on all riders. For information regarding a specific rider, please refer to that rider section in this prospectus.
Example 1 (Base):
Assumptions:
WB = $100,000
Withdrawal Percentage = 5%
RWA = 5% withdrawal would be $5,000 (5% of the current $100,000 withdrawal base)
Gross partial withdrawal (“GPWD”) = $5,000
Excess withdrawal (“EWD”) = None
Policy Value (“PV”) = $100,000
Question: Is any portion of the withdrawal greater than the rider withdrawal amount?
No. There is no excess withdrawal under the guarantee since no more than $5,000 is withdrawn.
Result. In this example, because no portion of the withdrawal was in excess of $5,000, the withdrawal base does not change.

Example 2 (Excess Withdrawal):
Assumptions:
WB = $100,000
Withdrawal Percentage = 5%
RWA = 5% withdrawal would be $5,000 (5% of the current $100,000 withdrawal base)
GPWD = $7,000
EWD = $2,000 ($7,000 - $5,000)
PV = $90,000
NOTE. For the guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit, because there was an excess withdrawal amount, the withdrawal base needs to be adjusted and a new lower rider withdrawal amount calculated. Had the withdrawal for this example not been more than $5,000, the withdrawal base would remain at $100,000 and the rider withdrawal amount would be $5,000. However, because an excess withdrawal has been taken, the withdrawal base is also reduced (this is the amount the 5% is based on).
New withdrawal base:
Step One. The withdrawal base is reduced only by the amount of the excess withdrawal or the pro rata amount, if greater.
Step Two. Calculate how much the withdrawal base is affected by the excess withdrawal.
1.  The formula is (EWD / (PV - 5% withdrawal)) * WB before any adjustments
2.  ($2,000 / ($90,000 - $5,000)) * $100,000 = $2,352.94
Step Three. Which is larger, the actual $2,000 excess withdrawal or the $2,352.94 pro rata amount?
$2,352.94 pro rata amount.
Step Four. What is the new withdrawal base upon which the rider withdrawal amount is based?
$100,000 - $2,352.94 = $97,647.06
Result. The new withdrawal base is $97,647.06
New rider withdrawal amount:
Because the withdrawal base was adjusted (due to the excess withdrawal) we have to calculate a new rider withdrawal amount for the 5% guarantee that will be available starting on the next calendar anniversary. This calculation assumes no more activity prior to the next calendar anniversary.
Question: What is the new rider withdrawal amount?
$97,647.06 (the adjusted withdrawal base) * 5% = $4,882.35
Result. Going forward, the maximum you can take out in a year is $4,882.35 without causing an excess withdrawal for the guarantee and further reduction of the withdrawal base (assuming there are no future automatic step-ups).
Example 3 (Base demonstrating growth):
Assumptions:
WB = $100,000
Withdrawal Percentage = 5%
WB in 10 years (assuming an annual growth rate percentage of 5.0%) = $100,000 * (1 + .05) ^ 10 = $162,889
RWA = 5% withdrawal beginning 10 years from the rider date would be $8,144 (5% of the then-current $162,889 withdrawal base)
Please Note: Withdrawals under these riders can begin prior to the 10th rider anniversary, but the WB growth will not occur during the rider years when a withdrawal is taken, and the growth stops on the 10th rider anniversary.
GPWD = $8,144
EWD = None
PV = $90,000 in 10 years
Question:   Is any portion of the withdrawal greater than the rider withdrawal amount?
No.  There is no excess withdrawal under the guarantee if no more than $8,144 is withdrawn.
Result.   In this example, because no portion of the withdrawal was in excess of $8,144, the withdrawal base does not change.
113

Riders — (Continued)
Example 4 (Base demonstrating WB growth with Additional Death Payment Option):
Assumptions:
Withdrawal Percentage = 5%
WB at rider issue = $100,000
WB in 10 years (assuming an annual growth rate percentage of 5%) = $100,000 * (1 + .05) ^ 10 = $162,889
RDB (optional additional death benefit for additional cost) = $100,000
RWA = 5% withdrawal beginning 10 years from the rider date would be $8,144 (5% of the then-current $162,889 withdrawal base)
Please Note: Withdrawals under these riders can begin prior to the 10th rider anniversary, but the WB growth will not occur during the rider years when a withdrawal is taken, and the growth stops on the 10th rider anniversary.
GPWD = $8,144
EWD = None
PV = $90,000 in 10 years
Step One.  Is any portion of the withdrawal greater than the rider withdrawal amount?
No.  There is no excess withdrawal under the guarantee if no more than $8,144 is withdrawn.
Step Two.  What is the rider death benefit after the withdrawal has been taken?
1.  Total to deduct from the rider death benefit is $8,144 (there is no excess to deduct)
2.  $100,000 - $8,144 = $91,856.
Result.  In this example, because no portion of the withdrawal was in excess of $8,144, the total withdrawal base does not change and the rider death benefit reduces to $91,856.
Example 5 (Base with WB growth with Additional Death Payment Option illustrating excess withdrawal):
Assumptions:
Withdrawal Percentage = 5%.
WB at rider issue = $100,000
Automatic step-up never occurs and no withdrawals are taken in the first 10 rider years.
WB in 10 years (assuming an annual growth rate percentage of 5%) = $100,000 * (1 + .05) ^ 10 = $162,889.
RDB (optional additional death benefit for additional cost) = $100,000
RWA = 5% withdrawal beginning 10 years from the rider date would be $8,144 (5% of the then-current $162,889 withdrawal base)
Please Note: Withdrawals under these riders can begin prior to the 10th rider anniversary, but the WB growth will not occur during the rider years when a withdrawal is taken and the growth stops on the 10th rider anniversary.
GPWD = $10,000
EWD = $1,856 ($10,000 - $8,144)
PV = $90,000 in 10 years
Step One.  Is any portion of the total withdrawal greater than the rider withdrawal amount?
Yes. $10,000 - $8,144 = $1,856 (the excess withdrawal amount)
Step Two.  Calculate how much of the rider death benefit is affected by the excess withdrawal.
1.  Formula for pro rata amount is: (EWD / (PV - 5% withdrawal)) * (RDB - 5% withdrawal)
2.  ($1,856 / ($90,000 - $8,144)) * ($100,000 - $8,144) = $2,082.74
Step Three. Which is larger, the actual $1,856 excess withdrawal amount or the $2,082.74 pro rata amount?
$2,082.74 pro rata amount.
Step Four. What is the rider death benefit after the withdrawal has been taken?
1.  Total to deduct from the rider death benefit is $8,144 (RWA) + $2,082.74 (pro rata excess) = $10,226.74
2.  $100,000 - $10,226.74 = $89,773.26.
Result. The rider benefit is $89,773.26.

Hypothetical Adjusted Partial Surrenders -Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit
Riders — (Continued)
Note: Because there was an excess withdrawal amount in this example, the withdrawal base needs to be adjusted and a new lower rider withdrawal amount calculated. Had the withdrawal for this example not been more than $8,144, the withdrawal base would remain at $162,889 and the rider withdrawal amount would be $8,144. However, because an excess withdrawal has been taken, the withdrawal base is also reduced (this is the amount the 5% is based on).

Allocation Methods N/A
Withdrawal Benefits - See “Adjusted Partial Surrenders - Income Link” appendix for examples showing the effect of withdrawals on the WB. Withdrawal Option Election Date - This is the date the withdrawal option is selected by the policy owner.
ILSD - This is the date the policy owner elects to begin receiving payments.

5.5% for 6 years and 3.5% thereafter
6.5% for 5 years and 3.5% thereafter
7.5% for 4 years and 3.5% thereafter
8.5% for 3 years and 3.5% thereafter

Automatic Step-Up Benefit On each rider anniversary, the WB will be set to the greatest of:
1) The current WB:
2) The policy value on the rider anniversary; or
3) The highest policy value on a rider monthiversarySM for the current rider year*
* Item 3) is set to zero if there have been any withdrawals that are not ILSW or RMD systematic withdrawals in the current rider year. The highest monthly value is the largest policy value on each rider monthiversary during the rider year.
A step-up will occur if the largest value is either 2) or 3) above. A step-up will allow us to change the rider fee percentage.
• Owner will have a 30 day window after the rider anniversary to reject an automatic step-up if we increase the rider fee.Must be in writing.
• If an owner rejects an automatic step-up, they retain the right to all future automatic step-ups.
Exercising Rider Exercising Base Benefit: The policyholder is guaranteed to be able to withdraw up to the RWA each withdrawal year even if the policy value is zero at the time of withdrawal. The rider benefits cease when the annuitant2 has died.
Income Benefit or Other Benefit Payout Considerations Systematic Withdrawal Options:
1. 72t/72q SPO - This allows fixed level payments that will not change for at least 5 years and payments will not exceed RWA. Only 5, 6 and 7 year options available.
2.
RMD Only SPO - This allows a modal amount equal to the annual RMD requirement for the current calendar year less all withdrawals taken in current calendar year divided by the number of payments remaining in the calendar year. Will not reduce RWA and is only available prior to ILSD.
3.
RWA SPO no RMD kick out - Allows modal payments of the remaining RWA divided by the number of payments remaining in the current withdrawal year. Payments will be adjusted for any step-ups, premium additions or excess withdrawals and will reduce the RWA with each payment.
4.
RWA SPO with RMD kick out - This allows for payments equal to #3 above with an additional payment to satisfy the RMD paid on December 27th each calendar year. Modal payments are not affected by this RMD payment.
Rider Upgrade • No upgrades allowed, however the owner may terminate the existing rider any time after the 5th rider anniversary and add the new rider in place at that time, as long as the covered lives meet the age requirements in effect at that time.
• New rider addition will be subject to issue age restrictions of the rider at the time of termination and re-addition. Currently the maximum age is 80 years old.
• Rider availability and fees are subject to what applies to the new rider being added.
Rider Termination • The rider can be “free looked” within 30 days of issue. The request must be made in writing.
• The rider will be terminated upon policy surrender, annuitization, annuitant2 death or upgrade.
• The date the policy to which this rider is attached is assigned or if the owner is changed without our approval.
• Termination allowed at any time after the 5th rider anniversary.
• The rider will be terminated the date we receive written notice from you requesting termination.
• After termination, there is no wait period to re-add the rider, assuming the rider is still available.
(1) Rider form number may be found on the bottom left corner of your rider pages.
(2) If the rider's Joint Life option has been elected for an additional fee, the benefits and features available could differ from the Single Life Option based on the age of the annuitant's spouse.

APPENDIX
Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit
Adjusted Partial Surrenders - Income LinkSM Rider (No Longer Available)
When a withdrawal is taken, three parts of the guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit can be affected:
1.  Withdrawal Base (“WB”)
2.  Rider Withdrawal Amount (“RWA”)
3.  Income LinkSM Rider Systematic Withdrawals (“ILSW”)
Withdrawal Base.  Income LinkSM rider systematic withdrawals (and certain minimum required distributions) will not reduce the withdrawal base. Non-Income LinkSM rider systematic withdrawals (and minimum required distributions calculated other than as provided for in the rider or not taken via a systematic withdrawal program) will reduce the withdrawal base by an amount equal to the greater of:
1)  the amount of the non-Income LinkSM rider systematic withdrawal (or non-qualifying minimum required distribution); and
2)  a pro rata amount, the result of (A / B) * C, where:
A  is the amount in 1 above;
B  is the policy value prior to the withdrawal; and
C  is the withdrawal base prior to the withdrawal.
The following demonstrates, on a purely hypothetical basis, the effects of partial withdrawals under this guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit.
Assumptions:
WB = $100,000
RWA = 6% withdrawal would be $6,000 (6% of the current $100,000 withdrawal base)
ILSW = $500 per month
Non-ILSW = $10,000 (taken after the eighteenth monthly Income LinkSM rider systematic withdrawal)
PV = $90,000
Assumes single life withdrawal option of 6% for 6 years and 4% thereafter has been elected. Non-Income LinkSM rider systematic withdrawal occurs during the second Income LinkSM rider withdrawal year (which means the withdrawal percentage is 6%).
Result. For the guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit, because there was a non-Income LinkSM rider systematic withdrawal, the withdrawal base needs to be adjusted and a new lower rider withdrawal amount and Income LinkSM rider systematic withdrawal amount calculated.
New withdrawal base:
Step One. The withdrawal base is reduced only by the amount of the non-Income LinkSM rider systematic withdrawal or the pro rata amount, if greater.
Step Two. Calculate how much the withdrawal base is affected by the non-Income LinkSM rider systematic withdrawal.
1.  The formula is (Non-ILSW / (PV before withdrawal)) * WB before any adjustments
2.  ($10,000 / ($90,000)) * $100,000 = $11,111
Step Three. Which is larger, the actual $10,000 non-Income LinkSM rider systematic withdrawal or the $11,111 pro rata amount?
$11,111 pro rata amount.
Step Four. What is the new withdrawal base upon which the rider withdrawal amount is based?
$100,000 - $11,111 = $88,889
Result. The new withdrawal base is $88,889. Please note the percentage reduction in the withdrawal base is used in calculating the revised RWA and ILSW.
New rider withdrawal amount:
Because the withdrawal base was adjusted (due to the non-Income LinkSM rider systematic withdrawal) we have to calculate a new (remaining) rider withdrawal amount. This calculation assumes no more non-Income LinkSM rider systematic withdrawal activity prior to the next Income LinkSM rider withdrawal year.
Question: What is the new (remaining) rider withdrawal amount for the remainder of the Income LinkSM rider withdrawal year?
$3,000 (the remaining rider withdrawal amount) - ($3,000*11.11%) = $2,667
120

Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal BenefitAdjusted Partial Surrenders - Income LinkSM
Rider (No Longer Available) — (Continued)
Result. Going forward, the maximum you can take out in a benefit year without causing a negative withdrawal base adjustment and further reduction of the withdrawal base (assuming there are no future automatic step-ups) is $5,333.
New Income LinkSM rider systematic withdrawal amount:
Because the withdrawal base was adjusted (due to the non-Income LinkSM rider systematic withdrawal) we have to calculate a new Income LinkSM rider systematic withdrawal amount. This calculation assumes no more non-Income LinkSM rider systematic withdrawal activity prior to the next Income LinkSM rider withdrawal year.
Question: What is the new Income LinkSM rider systematic withdrawal amount?
$500 (the old Income LinkSM rider systematic withdrawal amount) - ($500*11.11%) = $444
Result. Going forward (until the seventh Income LinkSM rider withdrawal year), the Income LinkSM rider systematic withdrawal amount (assuming there are no future automatic step-ups) is $444.

In order to supplement the description in the prospectus, the following provides additional information about us and the policy, which may be of interest to a prospective purchaser.
THE POLICYGENERAL PROVISIONS
Owner
The policy shall belong to the owner upon issuance of the policy after completion of an enrollment form and delivery of the initial premium payment. While the annuitant is living, the owner may: (1) assign the policy; (2) surrender the policy; (3) amend or modify the policy with our consent; (4) receive annuity payments or name a payee to receive the payments; and (5) exercise, receive and enjoy every other right and benefit contained in the policy. The exercise of these rights may be subject to the consent of any assignee or irrevocable beneficiary; and of your spouse in a community or marital property state.
Unless we have been notified of a community or marital property interest in the policy, we will rely on our good faith belief that no such interest exists and will assume no responsibility for inquiry.
Note carefully. If the owner predeceases the annuitant and no joint owner, primary beneficiary, or contingent beneficiary is alive or in existence on the date of death, the owner's estate will become the new owner. If no probate estate is opened because the owner has precluded the opening of a probate estate by means of a trust or other instrument, that trust may not exercise ownership rights to the policy. It may be necessary to open a probate estate in order to exercise ownership rights to the policy.
The owner may change the ownership of the policy in a written notice. When this change takes effect, all rights of ownership in the policy will pass to the new owner. A change of ownership may have tax consequences.
When there is a change of owner, the change will not be effective until it is recorded in our records. Once recorded, it will take effect as of the date the owner signs the written notice, subject to any payment we have made or action we have taken before recording the change. Changing the owner does not change the designation of the beneficiary or the annuitant.
Entire Contract
The entire contract consists of the policy and any application, endorsements and riders. If any portion of the policy or rider attached thereto shall be found to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, the remainder shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, but shall have the same force and effect as if the invalid, unenforceable or illegal portion had not been inserted.
Misstatement of Age or Sex
During the Accumulation Phase. If the age of any person whose life or age a benefit provided under a guaranteed benefit has been misstated, any such benefit will be that which would have been purchased on the basis of the correct age. If that person would not have been eligible for that guaranteed benefit at the correct age, (i) the benefit will be rescinded; and (ii) any charges that were deducted for the benefit will be refunded and applied to the total account value of the policy.
We reserve the right to terminate the contract at any time if it discovers a misstatement or fraudulent representation of any information provided in connection with the issuance or ongoing administration of the policy.
After the Annuity Commencement Date. We may require proof of the annuitant’s or owner’s age and/or sex before any payments associated with any benefits are made. If the age or sex of the annuitant and/or owner has been misstated, we will change the payment associated with any benefits payable to that which the premium payments would have purchased for the correct age or sex. The dollar amount of any underpayment made by us shall be paid in full with the next payment due such person, beneficiary, or payee. The dollar amount of any overpayment made by us due to any misstatement shall be deducted from payments subsequently accruing to such person or beneficiary. Any underpayment or overpayment will include interest specified in your policy, from the date of the wrong payment to the date of the adjustment. The age of the annuitant or owner may be established at any time by the submission of proof satisfactory to us.
Reallocation of Annuity Units After the Annuity Commencement Date
After the annuity commencement date, you may reallocate the value of a designated number of annuity units of a subaccount then credited to a policy into an equal value of annuity units of one or more other subaccounts or the fixed account. The reallocation shall be based on the relative value of the annuity units of the account(s) or subaccount(s) at the end of the market day on the next payment date. The minimum amount which may be reallocated is the lesser of (1) $10 of monthly income or (2) the entire monthly income of the annuity units in the account or subaccount from which the transfer is being made. If the monthly income of the
3

annuity units remaining in an account or subaccount after a reallocation is less than $10, we reserve the right to include the value of those annuity units as part of the transfer. The request must be in writing to our Administrative Office. There is no charge assessed in connection with such reallocation. A reallocation of annuity units may be made up to four times in any given policy year.
After the annuity commencement date, no transfers may be made from the fixed account to the separate account.
Annuity Payment Options
During the lifetime of the annuitant and before the annuity commencement date, the owner may choose an annuity payment option or change the election, but notice of any election or change of election must be received by us in good order at least thirty (30) days before the annuity commencement date (elections less than 30 days require prior approval). If no election is made before the annuity commencement date, annuity payments will be made under (1) life income with level (fixed) payments for 10 years certain, using the existing adjusted policy value of the fixed account, or (2) life income with variable payments for 10 years certain using the existing policy value of the separate account, or (3) in a combination of (1) and (2). The default options may be restricted with respect to qualified policies.
The person who elects an annuity payment option can also name one or more beneficiaries to receive any unpaid, guaranteed amount at the death of the annuitant. Naming these beneficiaries cancels any prior choice of a beneficiary.
A payee who did not elect the annuity payment option does not have the right to advance or assign payments, take the payments in one sum, or make any other change. However, the payee may be given the right to do one or more of these things if the person who elects the option tells us in writing and we agree.
Adjusted Age. For the Life Income and Joint and Survivor annuity payment options, the adjusted age is the annuitant's actual age nearest birthday, on the annuity commencement date, adjusted as described in your policy. This adjustment assumes an increase in life expectancy, and therefore it results in lower payments than without such an adjustment.
Variable Payment Options. The dollar amount of the first variable annuity payment will be determined in accordance with the annuity payment rates set forth in the applicable table contained in the policy. For annuity payments the tables are based on a 3% effective annual AIR and the “Annuity 2000” (male, female and unisex if required by law) mortality table projected for improvement using projection scale G. The rates were projected dynamically using an assumed annuity commencement date of 2020. the “Annuity 2000” mortality rates are adjusted based on improvements in mortality to more appropriately reflect increased longevity. The dollar amount of additional variable annuity payments will vary based on the investment performance of the subaccount(s) of the separate account selected by the annuitant or beneficiary. For certain qualified policies the use of unisex mortality tables may be required.
Determination of the First Variable Payment. The amount of the first variable payment depends upon the sex (if consideration of sex is allowed under state and Federal law) and adjusted age of the annuitant.
Determination of Additional Variable Payments. All variable annuity payments other than the first are calculated using annuity units which are credited to the policy. The number of annuity units to be credited in respect of a particular subaccount is determined by dividing that portion of the first variable annuity payment attributable to that subaccount by the annuity unit value of that subaccount on the annuity commencement date. The number of annuity units of each particular subaccount credited to the policy then remains fixed, assuming no transfers to or from that subaccount occur. The dollar value of variable annuity units in the chosen subaccount will increase or decrease reflecting the investment experience of the chosen subaccount. The dollar amount of each variable annuity payment after the first may increase, decrease or remain constant. This amount is equal to the sum of the amounts determined by multiplying the number of annuity units of each particular subaccount credited to the policy by the annuity unit value for the particular subaccount on the date the payment is made.
Death Benefit
Due proof of death of the annuitant is proof that the annuitant died prior to the commencement of annuity payments. A certified copy of a death certificate, a certified copy of a decree of a court of competent jurisdiction as to the finding of death, a written statement by the attending physician, or any other proof satisfactory to us will constitute due proof of death. If the annuitant dies after the annuity commencement date, no death benefit is payable and the amount payable will depend on the annuity income option.
Upon receipt in good order of this proof and an election of a method of settlement and return of the policy, the death benefit generally will be paid within seven days, or as soon thereafter as we have sufficient information about the beneficiary(ies) to make the payment. The beneficiary may receive the amount payable in a lump sum cash benefit, or, subject to any limitation under any state or federal law, rule, or regulation, under one of the annuity payment options described above, unless a settlement agreement is effective at the death of the owner preventing such election.
4

If an owner is not an annuitant, and dies prior to the annuity commencement date, the new owner may surrender the policy at any time for the amount of the cash value. If the new owner is not the deceased owner's spouse, however, the cash value must be distributed within five years after the date of the deceased owner's death, or be used to provide payments to a designated beneficiary within one year of such owner’s death that will be made for life of the beneficiary or for a period not extending beyond the life expectancy of the beneficiary. If the sole new owner is the deceased owner's surviving spouse, such spouse may elect to continue the policy as the new owner instead of receiving the death benefit.
Beneficiary. The beneficiary designation in the enrollment form will remain in effect until changed. The owner may change the designated beneficiary by sending us written notice. The beneficiary's consent to such change is not required unless the beneficiary was irrevocably designated or law requires consent. If an irrevocable beneficiary dies, the owner may then designate a new beneficiary. The change will take effect as of the date the owner signs the written notice, whether or not the owner is living when we receive the notice. We will not be liable for any payment made before the written notice is received. If more than one beneficiary is designated, and the owner fails to specify their interests, they will share equally. If upon the death of the annuitant there is a surviving owner(s), the surviving owner(s) automatically takes the place of any beneficiary designation.
Death of Owner
Federal tax law requires that if any owner (including any joint owner who has become a current owner) dies before the annuity commencement date, then the entire value of the policy must generally be distributed within five years of the date of death of such owner. Certain rules apply where (1) the spouse of the deceased owner is the sole beneficiary, (2) the owner is not a natural person and the primary annuitant dies or is changed, or (3) any owner dies after the annuity commencement date. See the TAX INFORMATION section in the prospectus for more information about these rules. Other rules may apply to qualified policies.
Assignment
During the lifetime of the annuitant you may assign any rights or benefits provided by the policy if your policy is a nonqualified policy. An assignment will not be binding on us until a copy has been filed at our Administrative Office. Your rights and benefits and those of the beneficiary are subject to the rights of the assignee. We assume no responsibility for the validity or effect of any assignment. Any claim made under an assignment shall be subject to proof of interest and the extent of the assignment. An assignment may have tax consequences.
Unless you so direct by filing written notice with us, no beneficiary may assign any payments under the policy before they are due. To the extent permitted by law, no payments will be subject to the claims of any beneficiary's creditors.
Ownership under qualified policies is restricted to comply with the Code.
Evidence of Survival
We reserve the right to require satisfactory evidence that a person is alive if a payment is based on that person being alive. No payment will be made until we receive such evidence.
Non-Participating
The policy will not share in our surplus earnings; no dividends will be paid.
Amendments
No change in the policy is valid unless made in writing by us and approved by one of our officers. No registered representative has authority to change or waive any provision of the policy.
We reserve the right to amend the policies to meet the requirements of the Code, regulations or published rulings. You can refuse such a change by giving written notice, but a refusal may result in adverse tax consequences.
Employee and Agent Purchases
The policy may be acquired by an employee or registered representative of any broker/dealer authorized to sell the policy or their immediate family, or by an officer, director, trustee or bona-fide full-time employee of ours or our affiliated companies or their immediate family. In such a case, we may, at our sole discretion, credit an amount equal to a percentage of each premium payment to the policy due to lower acquisition costs we experience on those purchases. We may offer certain employer sponsored savings plans, reduced fees and charges including, but not limited to, the annual service charge, the surrender charges, the mortality and expense
5

risk fee and the administrative charge for certain sales under circumstances which may result in savings of certain costs and expenses. In addition, there may be other circumstances of which we are not presently aware which could result in reduced sales or distribution expenses. Credits to the policy or reductions in these fees and charges will not be unfairly discriminatory against any owner.
INVESTMENT EXPERIENCE
A “net investment factor” is used to determine the value of accumulation units and annuity units, and to determine annuity payment rates.
Accumulation Units
Allocations of a premium payment directed to a subaccount are credited in the form of accumulation units. Each subaccount has a distinct accumulation unit value. The number of units credited is determined by dividing the premium payment or amount transferred to the subaccount by the accumulation unit value of the subaccount as of the end of the valuation period during which the allocation is made. For each subaccount, the accumulation unit value for a given market day is based on the net asset value of a share of the corresponding portfolio of the underlying fund portfolios less any applicable charges or fees. The investment performance of the portfolio, expenses, and deductions of certain charges affect the value of an accumulation unit.
Upon allocation to the selected subaccount, premium payments are converted into accumulation units of the subaccount. The number of accumulation units to be credited is determined by dividing the dollar amount allocated to each subaccount by the value of an accumulation unit for that subaccount as next determined after the premium payment is received at the Administrative Office or, in the case of the initial premium payment, when the enrollment form is completed, whichever is later. The value of an accumulation unit for each subaccount was arbitrarily established at $10 at the inception of each subaccount. Thereafter, the value of an accumulation unit is determined as of the close of trading on each day the New York Stock Exchange is open for business.
An index (the “net investment factor”) which measures the investment performance of a subaccount during a valuation period, is used to determine the value of an accumulation unit for the next subsequent valuation period. The net investment factor may be greater or less than or equal to one; therefore, the value of an accumulation unit may increase, decrease, or remain the same from one valuation period to the next. You bear this investment risk. The net investment performance of a subaccount and deduction of certain charges affect the accumulation unit value.
The net investment factor for any subaccount for any valuation period is determined by dividing (A + B - C) by (D) and subtracting (E) from the result, where the net result of:
A  the net asset value per share of the shares held in the subaccount determined at the end of the current valuation period, plus
B  the per share amount of any dividend or capital gain distribution made with respect to the shares held in the subaccount if the ex-dividend date occurs during the current valuation period, plus or minus
C  a per share credit or charge for any taxes determined by us to have resulted during the valuation period from the investment operations of the subaccount;
D  is the net asset value per share of the shares held in the subaccount determined as of the end of the immediately preceding valuation period; and
E  is an amount representing the separate account charge and any optional benefit fees, if applicable.

Where:  
A = The net asset value of an underlying fund portfolio share at of the end of the current valuation period.
  Assume A = $11.57
B = The per share amount of any dividend or capital gains distribution since the end of the immediately preceding valuation period.
  Assume B = 0
C = The per share charge or credit for any taxes reserved for at the end of the current valuation period.
  Assume C = 0
D = The net asset value of an underlying fund portfolio share at of the end of the immediately preceding valuation period.
  Assume D = $11.40
E = The daily deduction for the mortality and expense risk fee and the administrative charge, and any optional benefit fees, if applicable. Assume E total 1.50% on an annual basis; On a daily basis, this equals 0.000041096.
    
Then, the net investment factor = (11.57 + 0 0) - 0.000041096 = Z = 1.014871185
  (11.40)  
Formula for Determining Accumulation Unit Value
Accumulation Unit Value = A * B
Where:  
A = The accumulation unit value for the immediately preceding valuation period.
  Assume A = $X
B = The net investment factor for the current valuation period.
  Assume B = Y
Then, the accumulation unit value = $X * Y = $Z
Annuity Unit Value and Annuity Payment Rates
The amount of variable annuity payments will vary with annuity unit values. Annuity unit values rise if the net investment performance of the subaccount exceeds the assumed investment return of 3% annually. Conversely, annuity unit values fall if the net investment performance of the subaccount is less than the annual assumed investment return. The value of a variable annuity unit in each subaccount was established at $10 on the date operations began for that subaccount. The value of a variable annuity unit on any subsequent business day is equal to A multiplied by B multiplied by C, where:
A  is the variable annuity unit value for the subaccount on the immediately preceding market day;
B  is the net investment factor for that subaccount for the valuation period; and
C  is the assumed investment return adjustment factor for the valuation period.
The assumed investment return adjustment factor for the valuation period is the product of discount factors of .99986634 per day to recognize the 3% effective annual AIR. The valuation period is the period from the close of the immediately preceding market day to the close of the current market day.
The net investment factor for the policy used to calculate the value of a variable annuity unit in each subaccount for the valuation period is determined by dividing (i) by (ii) and subtracting (iii) from the result, where:
(i)  is the result of:
(1) the net asset value of a fund share held in that subaccount determined at the end of the current valuation period; plus
(2) the per share amount of any dividend or capital gain distributions made by the fund for shares held in that subaccount if the ex-dividend date occurs during the valuation period; plus or minus
(3) a per share charge or credit for any taxes reserved for, which we determine to have resulted from the investment operations of the subaccount.
(ii)  is the net asset value of a fund share held in that subaccount determined as of the end of the immediately preceding valuation period.
(iii)  is a factor representing the mortality and expense risk fee and administrative charge. This factor is equal, on an annual basis, to 1.25% of the daily net asset value of shares held in that subaccount.
The dollar amount of subsequent variable annuity payments will depend upon changes in applicable annuity unit values.

The annuity payment rates generally vary according to the annuity option elected and the gender and adjusted age of the annuitant at the annuity commencement date. The policy contains a table for determining the adjusted age of the annuitant.

PERFORMANCE
We periodically advertise performance of the various subaccounts. Performance figures might not reflect charges for options, riders, or endorsements. We may disclose at least three different kinds of non-standard performance. First, we may calculate performance by determining the percentage change in the value of an accumulation unit by dividing the increase (decrease) for that unit by the value of the accumulation unit at the beginning of the period. This performance number reflects the deduction of the mortality and
8

expense risk fees and administrative charges. It does not reflect the deduction of any applicable premium taxes, surrender charges, or fees for any optional riders or endorsements. Any such deduction would reduce the percentage increase or make greater any percentage decrease.
Second, advertisements may also include total return figures, which reflect the deduction of the mortality and expense risk fees and administrative charges. These figures may also include or exclude surrender charges. These figures may also reflect any applicable premium enhancement.
Third, for certain investment portfolios, performance may be shown for the period commencing from the inception date of the investment portfolio (i.e., before commencement of subaccount operations). These figures should not be interpreted to reflect actual historical performance of the subaccounts.
Not all types of performance data presented reflect all of the fees and charges that may be deducted (such as fees for optional benefits); performance figures would be lower if these charges were included.
HISTORICAL PERFORMANCE DATA
Money Market Yields
We may from time to time disclose the current annualized yield of the money market subaccount, which invests in the corresponding money market portfolio, for a 7-day period in a manner which does not take into consideration any realized or unrealized gains or losses on shares of the corresponding money market portfolio or on its portfolio securities. This current annualized yield is computed by determining the net change (exclusive of realized gains and losses on the sale of securities and unrealized appreciation and depreciation and income other than investment income) at the end of the 7-day period in the value of a hypothetical account having a balance of 1 unit of the money market subaccount at the beginning of the 7-day period, dividing such net change in account value by the value of the account at the beginning of the period to determine the base period return, and annualizing this quotient on a 365-day basis. The net change in account value reflects (i) net income from the portfolio attributable to the hypothetical account; and (ii) charges and deductions imposed under a policy that are attributable to the hypothetical account. The charges and deductions include the per unit charges for the hypothetical account for (i) the administrative charges and (ii) the mortality and expense risk fee. Current yield will be calculated according to the following formula.
Current Yield = ((NCS * ES)/UV) * (365/7)
Where:    
NCS = The net change in the value of the portfolio (exclusive of realized gains and losses on the sale of securities and unrealized appreciation and depreciation and income other than investment income) for the 7-day period attributable to a hypothetical account having a balance of 1 subaccount unit.
ES = Per unit expenses of the subaccount for the 7-day period.
UV = The unit value on the first day of the 7-day period.
Because of the charges and deductions imposed under a policy, the yield for the money market subaccount will be lower than the yield for the corresponding money market portfolio. The yield calculations do not reflect the effect of any premium taxes. The yield calculations also do not reflect surrender charges that may be applicable to a particular policy. Surrender charges range from 9% to 0% (depending on which share class you select) of the amount of premium payments surrendered based on the number of years since the premium payment was made. Surrender charges are based on the number of years since the date of the premium payment was made, not the policy value issue date.
9

We may also disclose the effective yield of the money market subaccount for the same 7-day period, determined on a compounded basis. The effective yield is calculated by compounding the base period return according to the following formula.
Effective Yield = (1 + ((NCS - ES)/UV))365/7 - 1
Where:    
NCS = The net change in the value of the portfolio (exclusive of realized gains and losses on the sale of securities and unrealized appreciation and depreciation and income other than investment income) for the 7-day period attributable to a hypothetical account having a balance of one subaccount unit.
ES = Per unit expenses of the subaccount for the 7-day period.
UV = The unit value on the first day of the 7-day period.
The yield on amounts held in the money market subaccount normally will fluctuate on a daily basis. Therefore, the disclosed yield for any given past period is not an indication or representation of future yields or rates of return. The money market subaccount's actual yield is affected by changes in interest rates on money market securities, average portfolio maturity of the corresponding money market portfolio, the types and quality of portfolio securities held by the corresponding money market portfolio and its operating expenses.
Total Returns
We may from time to time also advertise or disclose total returns for one or more of the subaccounts for various periods of time. One of the periods of time will include the period measured from the date the subaccount commenced operations. When a subaccount has been in operation for 1, 5 and 10 years, respectively, the total return for these periods will be provided. Total returns for other periods of time may from time to time also be disclosed. Total returns represent the average annual compounded rates of return that would equate an initial investment of $1,000 to the redemption value of that investment as of the last day of each of the periods. The ending date for each period for which total return quotations are provided will be for the most recent month end practicable, considering the type and media of the communication and will be stated in the communication.
Total returns will be calculated using subaccount unit values which we calculate on each market day based on the performance of the separate account's underlying fund portfolio and the deductions for the mortality and expense risk fee and the administrative charges. Total return calculations will reflect the effect of surrender charges that may be applicable to a particular period. The total return will then be calculated according to the following formula.
P (1 + T)N = ERV
Where:    
T = The average annual total return net of subaccount recurring charges.
ERV = The ending redeemable value of the hypothetical account at the end of the period.
P = A hypothetical initial payment of $1,000.
N = The number of years in the period.
Other Performance Data
We may from time to time also disclose average annual total returns in a non-standard format in conjunction with the standard format described above.
We may from time to time also disclose cumulative total returns in conjunction with the standard format described above. The cumulative returns will be calculated using the following formulaexcept that the surrender charge percentage will be assumed to be 0%
CTR = (ERV / P)-1
Where:    
CTR = The cumulative total return net of subaccount recurring charges for the period.
ERV = The ending redeemable value of the hypothetical investment at the end of the period.
P = A hypothetical initial payment of $1,000.
All non-standard performance data will only be advertised if the standard performance data is also disclosed.
10

Adjusted Historical Performance Data
From time to time, sales literature or advertisements may quote average annual total returns for periods prior to the date a particular subaccount commenced operations. Such performance information for the subaccounts will be calculated based on the performance of the various portfolios and the assumption that the subaccounts were in existence for the same periods as those indicated for the portfolios, with the level of policy charges that are currently in effect.
PUBLISHED RATINGS
We may from time to time publish in advertisements, sales literature and reports to owners, the ratings and other information assigned to us by one or more independent rating organizations such as A.M. Best Company, Standard & Poor's Insurance Ratings Services, Moody's Investors Service and Fitch Financial Ratings. The purpose of the ratings is to reflect our financial strength. The ratings should not be considered as bearing on the investment performance of assets held in the separate account or of the safety or riskiness of an investment in the separate account. Each year the A.M. Best Company reviews the financial status of thousands of insurers, culminating in the assignment of Best's Ratings. These ratings reflect their current opinion of the relative financial strength and operating performance of an insurance company in comparison to the norms of the life/health insurance industry. In addition, these ratings may be referred to in advertisements or sales literature or in reports to owners. These ratings are opinions of an operating insurance company's financial capacity to meet the obligations of its insurance policies in accordance with their terms.
STATE REGULATION OF US
We are subject to the laws of jurisdiction governing insurance companies and to regulation by the jurisdiction Department of Insurance. An annual statement in a prescribed form is filed with the Department of Insurance each year covering our operations for the preceding year and our financial condition as of the end of such year. Regulation by the Department of Insurance includes periodic examination to determine our contract liabilities and reserves so that the Department may determine the items are correct. Our books and accounts are subject to review by the Department of Insurance at all times, and a full examination of our operations are conducted periodically by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners. In addition, we are subject to regulation under the insurance laws of other jurisdictions in which it may operate.
ADMINISTRATION
We perform administrative services for the policies. These services include issuance of the policies, maintenance of records concerning the policies, and certain valuation services.
RECORDS AND REPORTS
We will maintain all records and accounts relating to the separate account. As presently required by the 1940 Act, as amended, and regulations promulgated thereunder, we will mail to all owners at their last known address of record, at least annually, reports containing such information as may be required under that Act or by any other applicable law or regulation. Owners will also receive confirmation of each financial transaction and any other reports required by law or regulation. However, for certain routine transactions (for example, regular monthly premiums deducted from your checking account, or regular annuity payments we send to you) you may only receive quarterly confirmations.
DISTRIBUTION OF THE POLICIES
We have entered into a principal underwriting agreement with our affiliate, Transamerica Capital, Inc. (“TCI”), for the distribution and sale of the policies. We may reimburse TCI for certain expenses it incurs in order to pay for the distribution of the policies (e.g., commissions payable to selling firms selling the Policies, as described below).
TCI's home office is located at 4600 S. Syracuse St. Suite 1100 Denver, Colorado 80237-2719. TCI is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Aegon USA. TCI is registered as a broker-dealer with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and is a member of Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”). TCI is not a member of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation.
We currently offer the policies on a continuous basis. We anticipate continuing to offer the policies, but reserve the right to discontinue the offering. The policies are offered to the public through sales representatives of broker-dealers (“selling firms”) that have entered into selling agreements with us and with TCI. TCI compensates these selling firms for their services. Sales representatives with these selling firms are appointed as our insurance agents.
11

We and our affiliates provide paid-in capital to TCI and pay for TCI's operating and other expenses, including overhead, legal and accounting fees. We also pay TCI an “override” payment based on the pricing of the product which becomes part of TCI's assets. In addition, we pay commission to TCI for policy sales; these commissions are passed through to the selling firms with TCI not retaining any portion of the commissions. During fiscal year 2014 and 2013 the amounts paid to TCI in connection with all policies sold through the Transamerica Life Insurance Company separate account were $364,566,103 and $212,971,232 . During fiscal year 2014 and 2013 the amounts paid to TCI in connection with all policies sold through Transamerica Financial Life Insurance Company separate account were $41,898,625 and $20,607,216.
We and/or TCI or another affiliate may pay certain selling firms additional cash amounts for: (1) “preferred product” treatment of the policies in their marketing programs, which may include marketing services and increased access to their sales representatives; (2) sales promotions relating to the policies; (3) costs associated with sales conferences and educational seminars for their sales representatives; and (4) other sales expenses of the selling firms. We and/or TCI may make bonus payments to certain selling firms based on aggregate sales or persistency standards. These additional payments are not offered to all selling firms, and the terms of any particular agreement governing the payments may vary among selling firms.
VOTING RIGHTS
To the extent required by law, we will vote the underlying fund portfolios' shares held by the separate account at regular and special shareholder meetings of the underlying fund portfolios in accordance with instructions received from persons having voting interests in the portfolios, although none of the underlying fund portfolios hold regular annual shareholder meetings. If, however, the 1940 Act or any regulation thereunder should be amended or if the present interpretation thereof should change, and as a result we will determine that it is permitted to vote the underlying fund portfolios shares in its own right, it may elect to do so.
Before the annuity commencement date, you hold the voting interest in the selected portfolios. The number of votes that you have the right to instruct will be calculated separately for each subaccount. The number of votes that you have the right to instruct for a particular subaccount will be determined by dividing your policy value in the subaccount by the net asset value per share of the corresponding portfolio in which the subaccount invests. Fractional shares will be counted.
After the annuity commencement date, you have the voting interest, and the number of votes decreases as annuity payments are made and as the reserves for the policy decrease. The person's number of votes will be determined by dividing the reserve for the policy allocated to the applicable subaccount by the net asset value per share of the corresponding portfolio. Fractional shares will be counted.
The number of votes that you have the right to instruct will be determined as of the date established by the underlying fund portfolio for determining shareholders eligible to vote at the meeting of the underlying fund portfolio. We will solicit voting instructions by sending you, or other persons entitled to vote, requests for instructions prior to that meeting in accordance with procedures established by the underlying fund portfolio. Portfolio shares as to which no timely instructions are received, and shares held by us in which you, or other persons entitled to vote have no beneficial interest, will be voted in proportion to the voting instructions that are received with respect to all policies participating in the same subaccount.
Each person having a voting interest in a subaccount will receive proxy material, reports, and other materials relating to the appropriate portfolio.
OTHER PRODUCTS
We make other variable annuity policies available that may also be funded through the separate account. These variable annuity policies may have different features, such as different investment choices or charges.
CUSTODY OF ASSETS

This prospectus describes information you should know before you purchase a MEMBERS® Variable Annuity Series variable annuity. The prospectus describes a contract between each owner and joint owner (“you”) and Transamerica Life Insurance Company (“us,” “we,” “our” or “Company”). This is an individual, deferred, flexible premium variable annuity. This variable annuity allows you to allocate your premium payments among the fixed account (if available) and the underlying fund portfolios.
This prospectus also refers to the following share classes: B-Share, C-Share, L-Share and X-Share. A share class will be selected on your application and identified in your policy.
This prospectus and the underlying fund prospectuses give you important information about the policies and the underlying fund portfolios. Please read them carefully before you invest and keep them for future reference. You can also contact us to get a Statement of Additional Information (SAI) free of charge. The SAI contains more information about this policy. A registration statement, including the SAI, has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the SAI is incorporated herein by reference. The prospectus and SAI can also be obtained from the SEC's website (www.sec.gov). The table of contents of the SAI is included at the end of this prospectus. The Securities and Exchange Commission has not approved or disapproved these securities, or passed upon the adequacy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
If you elect the X-Share, we will add a credit to your policy value for each premium payment that you make. Generally, an annuity with a premium enhancement will have higher overall expenses than a similar annuity without a premium enhancement; the amount credited under the premium enhancement may be more than offset by the additional fees and charges associated with the premium enhancement. You should always consider the expenses along with the features and enhancements to be sure that any annuity meets your financial needs and goals.
This variable annuity may not be suitable for everyone. This variable annuity may not be appropriate for people who do not have a long investment time horizon and is not appropriate for people who intend to engage in market timing. You will get no additional tax advantage from this variable annuity if you are investing in a variable annuity through a tax-advantaged retirement plan (such as a 401(k) plan or Individual Retirement Account (“IRA”)). This prospectus is not intended to provide tax, accounting or legal advice.
We are not an investment adviser nor are we registered as such with the SEC or any state securities regulatory authority. We are not acting in any fiduciary capacity with respect to your policy nor are we acting in any capacity on behalf of any tax-advantaged retirement plan. This information does not constitute personalized investment advice or financial planning advice.

Notes to Fee Table and Expense Examples
Owner Transaction Expenses:
Maximum Surrender Charge: The surrender charge, if any is imposed, applies to each premium payment, regardless of how policy value is allocated among the investment options. The surrender charge decreases based on the number of years since the premium payment was made.
Transfer Fee:  The transfer fee, if any is imposed, applies to each policy, regardless of how policy value is allocated among the investment options. There is no fee for the first 12 transfers per policy year. For additional transfers, we may charge a fee of $10 per transfer.
Special Service Fees: We may deduct a charge for special services, including overnight delivery; duplicate policies; non-sufficient checks on new business; duplicate Form 1099 and Form 5498 tax forms; duplicate disclosure documents and semi-annual reports; check copies; printing and mailing previously submitted forms; and asset verification requests from mortgage companies. We may charge a fee for each service performed. In addition, we may consider as special services customer initiated changes, modifications and transactions which are submitted in such a manner as to require us to incur additional processing costs.
Annual Service Charge:
The maximum annual service charge is $50 per policy. In no event will the service charge exceed 2% of the policy value or the maximum amount.
Criteria for Potential Waiver   Potential Waiver Amount*
Policy Value or sum of all premium payments less all withdrawals:    
$50,000 thru $249,999.99   up to $35
$250,000 or more   up to $50
Participation in e-delivery program   up to $15
* In no event will we waive in the aggregate more than the actual annual service charge for any policy year.
Separate Account Annual Expenses:
Mortality and Expense Risk Fee: The mortality and expense risk fee shown is for the accumulation phase with the base death benefit. During the income phase, the mortality and expense risk fee is at an annual rate of 1.25%.
Optional Separate Account Expenses: Any optional separate account expense is in addition to the mortality and expense risk and administrative fees. 
Fund Facilitation Fee: This daily fee is applied only to policy value in the subaccounts invested in:
Fund   Fee %
American Funds - Asset Allocation Fund - Class 2; American Funds - Bond Fund - Class 2; American Funds - Growth Fund - Class 2; American Funds Growth-Income Fund - Class 2   0.30%
AllianceBernstein Balanced Wealth Strategy Portfolio - Class B   0.20%
We charge a fund facilitation fee in order to make certain subaccounts available as investment choices under the policies. We apply the fee to subaccounts that invest in underlying funds that do not provide us with the amount of revenue we require in order for us to meet our expenses and revenue targets. This fee is assessed daily based on the net asset value of subaccounts that we specify.
Liquidity Rider: This fee is only charged for the first four policy years.
OPTIONAL RIDERS
In some cases, riders to the policy are available that provide optional benefits. There are additional fees (annualized fee charged on a yearly or quarterly basis, depending on the rider) for those riders.

Optional Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit Riders:
Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider - Total Withdrawal Base: We use the total withdrawal base to calculate the maximum annual withdrawal amount. The total withdrawal base on the rider date is the policy value (if X-Share is elected, less any premium enhancement if the rider is added in the first policy year).
Retirement Income Max® Rider and Retirement Income Choice® 1.6 Rider - Withdrawal Base: We use the withdrawal base to calculate the rider withdrawal amount. The withdrawal base on the rider date is the policy value (if the X-Share is elected, less any premium enhancement if the rider is added in the first policy year). For riders issued prior to May 1, 2014, fee information can be found in the “Appendix - Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit Comparison Table”.
Optional Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit Riders - No Longer Available
Income LinkSM Rider - Withdrawal Base: We use the withdrawal base to calculate the rider withdrawal amount. The withdrawal base on the rider date is the policy value (if the X-Share is elected, less any premium enhancement if the rider is added in the first policy year).
Total Portfolio Annual Operating Expenses:
The fee table information relating to the underlying fund portfolios was provided to us by the underlying fund portfolios, their investment advisers or managers, and we have not and cannot independently verify the accuracy or completeness of such information. Actual future expenses of the portfolios may be greater or less than those shown in the Table. “Gross” expense figures do not reflect any fee waivers or expense reimbursements. Actual expenses may have been lower than those shown in the Table.
Expense Examples:
The Example does not reflect premium tax charges, special service fees, or transfer fees. Different fees and expenses not reflected in the Example may be assessed during the income phase of the policy.

THE ANNUITY
This prospectus describes information you should know before you purchase the MEMBERS® Variable Annuity Series.
An annuity is a contract between you, the owner, and an insurance company (in this case us), where the insurance company promises to pay you an income in the form of annuity payments. These payments begin on a designated date, referred to as the annuity commencement date. Until the annuity commencement date, your annuity is in the accumulation phase and the earnings (if any) are generally tax deferred. Tax deferral means you are not taxed until you take money out of your annuity. After you annuitize, your annuity switches to the income phase.
The policy is a “deferred” annuity. You can use the policy to accumulate funds for retirement or other long-term financial planning purposes. Your individual investment and your rights are determined primarily by your own policy.
The policy is a “flexible premium” annuity because after you purchase it, you can generally make additional premium payments of at least $50 (but not more than the stated maximum total premium payment amount) until the annuity commencement date. You are not required to make any additional premium payments.
The policy is a “variable” annuity because the value of your policy can go up or down based on the performance of your subaccounts. If you invest in the separate account, the amount of money you are able to accumulate in your policy during the accumulation phase depends upon the performance of your subaccounts. You could lose the amount you allocate to the separate account. The amount of annuity payments you receive from the separate account also depends upon the investment performance of your subaccounts for the income phase.
The fixed account may, but is not guaranteed to always, be offered. If the fixed account is offered it will offer interest at a rate(s) that we guarantee will not decrease during the selected guaranteed period. There may be different interest rates for each different guaranteed period that we may offer and that you select.
Do not purchase this policy if you plan to use it, or any of its riders, for resale, speculation, arbitrage, viatication, or any other type of collective investment scheme. Your policy is not intended or designed to be traded on any stock exchange or secondary market. By purchasing this policy, you represent and warrant that you are not using the policy, or any of its riders for resale, speculation, arbitrage, viatication, or any other type of collective investment scheme.
PURCHASE
Policy Issue Requirements
We will not issue a policy unless:
we receive in good order (See OTHER INFORMATION - Sending Forms and Transaction Requests in Good Order) all information needed to issue the policy;
we receive in good order (at our Administrative Office) a minimum initial premium (including anticipated premiums from 1035 exchanges on nonqualified policies and transfers or rollovers on qualified policies as indicated on your application or electronic order form) payment; and
the annuitant, owner, and any joint owner are age 89 or younger (the limit may be lower for qualified policies).
Please note, certain riders described herein may require a younger age. Please carefully read the applicable rider sections regarding any age limitations.
We reserve the right to reject any application.
Premium Payments
General. You should make checks for premium payments payable to Transamerica Life Insurance Company, as applicable, and send them to the Administrative Office. Your check must be honored in order for us to pay any associated annuity payments and benefits due under the policy.
We do not accept cash. We reserve the right to not accept third party checks. A third party check is a check that is made payable to one person who endorses it and offers it as payment to a second person. Checks should normally be payable to us, however, in some circumstances, at our discretion we may accept third party checks that are from a rollover or transfer from other financial institutions. Any third party checks not accepted by us will be returned.
We reserve the right to reject or accept any form of payment. Any unacceptable forms of payment will be returned.
7

Initial Premium Requirements. The initial premium payment for nonqualified policies must be at least $5,000 (including anticipated premiums from 1035 exchanges as indicated on your application or electronic order form), and at least $1,000 for qualified policies (including anticipated premiums from transfers or rollovers as indicated on your application or electronic order form). You must obtain our prior approval to purchase a policy with an amount in excess of our maximum premium amount.
Your initial premium payment may not be credited to your policy on the day that you leave your premium payment with your financial intermediary. Your financial intermediary may take up to seven market days to assess whether buying this policy is suitable for you. Your financial intermediary may send us your initial premium payment while they complete this assessment. Your financial intermediary must also ensure that we have all the information needed for us to process your policy. We will not begin to process your policy during this period.
We will first begin our review only once we receive both your initial premium payment and your application (or an electronic order form). We will credit your initial premium payment to your policy within two market days after the market day that we receive your initial premium payment, your application (or order form) and once we determine that your policy information is both complete and in good order. This time period is in addition to the time your financial intermediary may take to complete their part of the process. If we are unable to complete our part of the process within five market days after the market day that we receive your initial premium payment and your application (or electronic order form), then we will notify you or your financial intermediary, if applicable, and explain why we can't process your policy. We will also return your initial premium payment at that time unless you consent to us holding the premium up to 30 days and credit it within two market days after your information is both complete and in good order. If your information is not received in good order within 30 days of your consent to hold the premium, then it will be returned to you.
Neither we nor your financial intermediary are responsible for lost investment opportunities while we each complete our review processes. Any initial premium payments received by us will be held in our general account until credited to your policy. You will not earn interest on your initial premium payment during these review periods.
The date on which we credit your initial premium payment to your policy is generally the policy date. The policy date is used to determine policy years, policy quarters, policy months and policy anniversaries.
Additional Premium Payments. You are not required to make any additional premium payments. However, you can generally make additional premium payments during the accumulation phase. Additional premium payments must be at least $50. After the first policy year, additional premium payments each policy year cannot, in the aggregate, without our prior approval exceed $25,000 for nonqualified policies and the lesser of (1) the IRS maximum contribution limit or (2) $60,000 for qualified policies. We reserve the right to refuse any additional premium payment in excess of these limits, and if you do not obtain prior approval for premiums in excess of the dollar amounts listed above, the business will be deemed not in good order. We will credit additional premium payments to your policy as of the market day we receive your premium and required information in good order at our Administrative Office. Additional premium payments must be received before the close of the New York Stock Exchange (usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) to get same-day pricing of the additional premium payment.
Maximum Total Premium Payments. For issue ages 0-80, we reserve the right to require prior approval of any cumulative premium payments over $1,000,000 (this includes subsequent premium payments) for policies with the same owner or same annuitant issued by us or an affiliate. For issue ages over 80, we reserve the right to require prior approval of any cumulative premium payments over $500,000 (this includes subsequent premium payments) for policies with the same owner or same annuitant issued by us or an affiliate. If you do not obtain prior approval for premium payments in excess of the dollar amounts listed above, the business will be deemed not in good order.
Allocation of Premium Payments. When you purchase a policy, we will allocate your premium payment to the investment choices you select. Your allocation must be in whole percentages and must total 100%. We will allocate additional premium payments the same way, unless you request a different allocation. You could lose the amount you allocate to the variable subaccounts.
If you allocate premium payments to the Dollar Cost Averaging program (if it is available), you must give us instructions regarding the subaccount(s) to which transfers are to be made or we cannot accept your premium payment.
You may change allocations for future additional premium payments by sending written instructions to our Administrative Office, or by telephone, or other electronic means acceptable to us, subject to the limitations described in ADDITIONAL FEATURES - Telephone and Electronic Transactions, or any other means acceptable to us. The allocation change will apply to premium payments received on or after the date we receive the change request in good order.
We reserve the right to restrict or refuse any premium payment.

Policy Value
You should expect your policy value to change from valuation period to valuation period. A valuation period begins at the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange on each market day and ends at the close of trading on the next succeeding market day. A market day is each day that the New York Stock Exchange is open for business. The New York Stock Exchange usually closes at 4:00 p.m., Eastern time. Holidays are generally not market days.
Premium Enhancement (X-Share). If you elect the X-Share, an amount equal to the applicable premium enhancement percentage (as set forth below) of the premium payment will be added to the policy value. The amount of the premium enhancement is not considered a premium payment and therefore may not be included in the calculation of certain policy features (such as certain death benefits or living benefits) or in the calculation of fees and charges that are based on premium payments made. The premium enhancement percentage may vary from premium to premium on subsequent premium payments, but will never be less than 0.25% nor more than 7.0%. A confirmation will be sent advising the owner of the amount of premium enhancement applicable to each subsequent premium payment. No premium enhancement will apply if the policy is canceled pursuant to the right to cancel provision.
The premium enhancement percentage is determined by the annuitant's age at the time of each premium payment. The percentage will decrease as the annuitant's attained age increases. The following schedule shows the current premium enhancement percentages:
Annuitant's Age   Premium Enhancement Percentage
0-59   5.5%
60-69   5.0%
70-79   4.0%
80+   2.0%
The current premium enhancement percentages are not guaranteed and, as noted above, may change to as little as 0.25%.
Generally, an annuity with a premium enhancement may have higher expenses than a similar annuity without a premium enhancement. Accordingly, you should always consider the expenses along with the features and enhancements to be sure any annuity meets your financial needs and goals.
There is no specific charge for the premium enhancement. We expect to use a portion of the mortality and expense risk fee, administrative charge and/or the surrender charge to pay the premium enhancement.
Once we have received all necessary regulatory approvals (but not before), we may take back or “recapture” the full dollar amount of any premium enhancement upon the occurrence of any of the following events: (1) exercise of the right to cancel option; (2) exercise of the Nursing Care and Terminal Condition Withdrawal Option or the Unemployment Waiver within one year from the time we apply the premium enhancement; (3) a death benefit is payable within one year from the time we apply the premium enhancement; or (4) annuitization within one year from the time we apply the premium enhancement. In certain circumstances, you might be worse off because of the premium enhancement. This could happen if we recapture the dollar amount of the premium enhancement and the overall investment performance of your policy was negative (if the overall investment performance of your policy was positive you would be better off). Please note, we will begin recapturing as soon as we receive all necessary approvals and will not provide advance notice.
The Internal Revenue Code generally requires that interests in a qualified policy be non-forfeitable, and it is unclear whether the premium enhancement feature is consistent with those requirements. Consult a tax adviser before purchasing the X-Share as a qualified policy.
The premium enhancement may vary for certain policies and may not be available for all policies.
INVESTMENT OPTIONS
This policy offers you a means of investing in various underlying fund portfolios offered by different investment companies (by investing in the corresponding subaccounts). The companies that provide investment advice and administrative services for the underlying fund portfolios offered through this policy are listed in the “Appendix - Underlying Fund Portfolios Associated with the Subaccounts.”
The general public may not purchase shares of any of these underlying fund portfolios. The names and investment objectives and policies may be similar to other portfolios managed by the same investment adviser or manager that are sold directly to the public. You should not expect the investment results of the underlying fund portfolios to be the same as those of other portfolios.
9

More detailed information, including an explanation of the portfolios' fees and investment objectives, may be found in the current prospectuses for the underlying fund portfolios, which accompany this prospectus. You should read the prospectuses for the underlying fund portfolios carefully before you invest.
Note: If you received a summary prospectus for any of the portfolios listed in “Appendix - Portfolios Associated with the Subaccounts”, please follow the instructions on the first page of the summary prospectus to obtain a copy of the full fund prospectus or its statement of additional information.
Selection of Underlying Fund Portfolios
The underlying fund portfolios offered through this variable annuity are selected by us, and we may consider various factors, including, but not limited to, asset class coverage, the strength of the adviser's or sub-adviser's reputation and tenure, brand recognition, performance, volatility, hedgeability, and the capability and qualification of each investment firm. Another factor that we may consider is whether the underlying fund portfolio or its service providers (e.g., the investment adviser or sub-advisers) or its affiliates will make payments to us or our affiliates. For additional information about these arrangements, see EXPENSES - Revenue We Receive. We review the portfolios periodically and may remove a portfolio, or limit its availability to new premium payments and/or transfers of cash value if we determine that a portfolio no longer satisfies one or more of the selection criteria, and/or if the portfolio has not attracted significant allocations from owners. We have included the Transamerica Series Trust (“TST”) underlying fund portfolios at least in part because they are managed by one of our affiliates, Transamerica Asset Management, Inc. (“TAM”).
We have developed this variable annuity in cooperation with one or more distributors, and may include certain underlying fund portfolios based on their recommendations. Their selection criteria may differ from our selection criteria.
You are responsible for choosing the subaccounts which invest in the underlying fund portfolios, and the amounts allocated to each, that are appropriate for your own individual circumstances and your investment goals, financial situation, and risk tolerance. Because investment risk is borne by you, decisions regarding investment allocations should be carefully considered. We do not recommend or endorse any particular underlying fund portfolio and we do not provide investment advice.
In making your investment selections, we encourage you to thoroughly investigate all of the information regarding the underlying fund portfolios that are available to you, including each underlying fund portfolio's prospectus, statement of additional information and annual and semi-annual reports. Other sources such as the fund's website provide more current information, including information about any regulatory actions or investigations relating to a fund or underlying fund portfolio. After you select underlying fund portfolios for your initial premium payment, you should monitor and periodically re-evaluate your allocations to determine if they are still appropriate.
You bear the risk of any decline in the cash value of your policy resulting from the performance of the underlying fund portfolios you have chosen.
We do not guarantee that any of the subaccounts will always be available for premium payments, allocations, or transfers. We will not add, delete or substitute any underlying fund portfolio shares attributable to your interest in a subaccount without notice to you and prior approval of the SEC, to the extent required by the 1940 Act or other applicable law.
We reserve the right to limit the number of subaccounts you are invested in at any one time.
If you elect certain optional riders, you will be subject to investment restrictions. In the future, we may change the investment restrictions.
Not all subaccounts may be available for all policies.
Addition, Deletion, or Substitution of Investment Options
We cannot and do not guarantee that any of the subaccounts will always be available for premium payments, allocations, or transfers. We retain the right, subject to any applicable law, to make certain changes to the separate account and its investment options. We reserve the right to add new portfolios (or portfolio classes) or close existing portfolios (or portfolio classes). We also reserve the right to eliminate the shares of any portfolio held by a subaccount and to substitute shares of another portfolio of the underlying fund portfolios, or of another registered open-end management investment company for the shares of any portfolio, if the shares of the portfolio are no longer available for investment or if, in our judgment, investment in any portfolio would be inappropriate in view of the purposes of the separate account. To the extent required by the 1940 Act, as amended, substitutions of shares attributable to your interest in a subaccount will not be made without prior notice to you and the prior approval of the SEC. Nothing contained herein shall prevent the separate account from purchasing other securities for other series or classes of variable annuity policies, or from affecting an exchange between series or classes of variable annuity policies on the basis of your requests.
10

New subaccounts may be established when, in our sole discretion, marketing, tax, investment or other conditions warrant. Any new subaccounts may be made available to existing owners on a basis to be determined by us. Each additional subaccount will purchase shares in an underlying fund portfolio, or other investment vehicle. We may also close or liquidate one or more subaccounts if, in our sole discretion, marketing, tax, investment or other conditions warrant such change. In the event any subaccount is closed or liquidated, we will notify you and request a reallocation of the amounts invested in the closed or liquidated subaccount. If we do not receive additional instructions, any subsequent premium payments, or transfers (including Dollar Cost Averaging transactions or asset rebalance programs transactions) into a closed subaccount will be re-allocated to the remaining available investment options according to the investment allocation instructions you previously provided. If your previous investment allocation instructions do not include any available investment options, we will require new instructions. If we do not receive new instructions, the requested transaction will be canceled and any premium payment will be returned. Under asset rebalance programs the value remaining in the closed subaccount will be excluded from any future rebalancing. The value of the closed subaccount will continue to fluctuate due to portfolio performance, and may exceed the original rebalance percentages you requested. As you consider your overall investment strategy within your policy, you should also consider whether or not to re-allocate the value remaining in the closed subaccount to another investment option. If you decide to re-allocate the value of the closed subaccount, you will need to provide us with instructions to achieve your goal. Under certain situations involving death benefit adjustments for continued policies, if an investment option is closed to new investment, the amount that would have been allocated thereto will instead be allocated pro-rata to the other current investment options you have value allocated to and which are open to new investment.
In the event of any such substitution or change, we may, by appropriate endorsement, make such changes in the policies as may be necessary or appropriate to reflect such substitution or change. Furthermore, if deemed to be in the best interests of persons having voting rights under the policies, the separate account may be (1) operated as a management company under the 1940 Act or any other form permitted by law, (2) deregistered under the 1940 Act in the event such registration is no longer required or (3) combined with one or more other separate accounts. To the extent permitted by applicable law, we also may (1) transfer the assets of the separate account associated with the policies to another account or accounts, (2) restrict or eliminate any voting rights of owners or other persons who have voting rights as to the separate account, (3) create new separate accounts, (4) add new subaccounts to or remove existing subaccounts from the separate account, or combine subaccounts or (5) add new underlying fund portfolios, or substitute a new underlying fund portfolio for an existing underlying fund portfolio.
The Fixed Account
The fixed account may, but is not guaranteed to always, be available. If available, premium payments allocated and amounts transferred to the fixed account become part of our general account. Interests in the general account have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “1933 Act”), nor is the general account registered as an investment company under the 1940 Act. Accordingly, neither the general account nor any interests therein are generally subject to the provisions of the 1933 or 1940 Acts. Disclosures relating to interests in the general account may, however, be subject to certain generally applicable provisions of the federal securities laws relating to the accuracy of statements made in a registration statement.
While we do not guarantee that the fixed account will always be available for investment, we do guarantee that the interest credited to the fixed account when available will not be less than the guaranteed minimum effective annual interest rate shown on your policy (the “guaranteed minimum”). We determine credited rates, which are guaranteed for at least one year, in our sole discretion. You bear the risk that we will not credit interest greater than the guaranteed minimum. At the end of the guaranteed period option you selected, the value in that guaranteed period option will automatically be transferred into the money market subaccount or if a money market subaccount is unavailable to a new guaranteed period option of the same length (or the next shorter period if the same period is no longer offered) at the current interest rate for that period. You can transfer to another investment option by giving us notice within 30 days before the end of the expiring guaranteed period.
Surrenders, withdrawals, transfers, and amounts applied to an annuity payment option from a guaranteed period option of the fixed account prior to the end of the guaranteed period are generally subject to an excess interest adjustment. See ACCESS TO YOUR MONEY - Excess Interest Adjustment for more information about when an excess interest adjustment applies. This adjustment will also be made to amounts that you apply to an annuity payment option. This adjustment may increase or decrease the amount of interest credited to your policy. The excess interest adjustment will not decrease the interest credited to your policy below the guaranteed minimum.
We also guarantee that upon full surrender your cash value attributable to the fixed account will not be less than the amount required by the applicable nonforfeiture law at the time the policy is issued.
11

If you select the fixed account, when it is available, your money will be placed with our other general assets. The amount of money you are able to accumulate in the fixed account during the accumulation phase depends upon the total interest credited. The amount of each annuity payment you receive during the income phase from the fixed portion of your policy will remain level for the entire income phase. The interest credited as well as principal invested in the fixed account is based on our claims-paying ability.
We reserve the right to refuse any premium payment or transfer to the fixed account.
Transfers
During the accumulation phase, you may make transfers to or from any investment option within certain limitations. Transfers out of a guaranteed period option of the fixed account are limited to the following:
Transfers at the end of a guaranteed period.
Transfers of amounts equal to interest credited. This may affect your overall interest-crediting rate, because unless otherwise directed transfers are deemed to come from the oldest premium payment first.
Other than at the end of a guaranteed period, transfers of amounts from the guaranteed period option in excess of amounts equal to interest credited, are subject to an excess interest adjustment. If it is a negative adjustment, the maximum amount you can transfer in any one policy year may be limited to 25% of the amount in that guaranteed period option, less any previous transfers during the current policy year. If it is a positive adjustment, we do not limit the amount that you can transfer.  (Note: This restriction may prolong the period of time it takes to transfer the full amount in the guaranteed period option of the fixed account.  You should carefully consider whether investment in the fixed account meets your needs and investment criteria.)
In general, each transfer must be at least $500, or the entire subaccount value. Transfers of interest from a guaranteed period option of the fixed account must be at least $50. If less than $500 remains as a result of the transfer, then we reserve the right to include that amount in the transfer. Transfer requests must be received in good order while the New York Stock Exchange is open to get same-day pricing of the transaction. See OTHER INFORMATION - Sending Forms and Transaction Requests in Good Order.
The number of transfers permitted may be limited and a $10 charge for each transfer in excess of 12 in any policy year may apply. We reserve the right to prohibit transfers to the fixed account.
During the income phase, you may transfer values out of any subaccount; however, you cannot transfer values out of the fixed account. The minimum amount that can be transferred during this phase is the lesser of $10 of monthly income, or the entire monthly income of the annuity units in the subaccount from which the transfer is being made.
Transfers made by telephone, or other electronic means acceptable to us, are subject to the limitations described in ADDITIONAL FEATURES - Telephone and Electronic Transactions.
Market Timing and Disruptive Trading
Statement of Policy. This variable annuity policy was not designed to accommodate market timing or frequent or large transfers among the subaccounts or between the subaccounts and the fixed account. (Both frequent and large transfers may be considered disruptive.)
Market timing and disruptive trading can adversely affect you, other owners, beneficiaries and underlying fund portfolios. The adverse effects may include: (1) dilution of the interests of long-term investors in a subaccount if purchases or transfers into or out of an underlying fund portfolio are made at prices that do not reflect an accurate value for the underlying fund portfolio’s investments (some market timers attempt to do this through methods known as “time-zone arbitrage” and “liquidity arbitrage”); (2) an adverse effect on portfolio management, such as (a) impeding a portfolio manager’s ability to seek or sustain an investment objective; (b) causing the underlying fund portfolio to maintain a higher level of cash than would otherwise be the case; or (c) causing an underlying fund portfolio to liquidate investments prematurely (or otherwise at an inopportune time) in order to pay withdrawals or transfers out of the underlying fund portfolio; and (3) increased brokerage and administrative expenses. These costs are borne by all owners invested in those subaccounts, not just those making the transfers.
We have developed policies and procedures with respect to market timing and disruptive trading (which vary for certain subaccounts at the request of the corresponding underlying fund portfolios) and we do not make special arrangements or grant exceptions to accommodate market timing or potentially disruptive trading. As discussed herein, we cannot detect or deter all market timing or potentially disruptive trading. Do not invest with us if you intend to conduct market timing or potentially disruptive trading or have concerns about our inability to detect or prevent any such trading.
12

Detection. We employ various means in an attempt to detect and deter market timing and disruptive trading. However, despite our monitoring we may not be able to detect nor halt all harmful trading. In addition, because other insurance companies (and retirement plans) with different policies and procedures may invest in the underlying fund portfolios, we cannot guarantee that all harmful trading will be detected or that an underlying fund portfolio will not suffer harm from market timing and disruptive trading among subaccounts of variable products issued by these other insurance companies or retirement plans.
Deterrence. If we determine you or anyone acting on your behalf is engaged in market timing or disruptive trading, we may take one or more actions in an attempt to halt such trading. Your ability to make transfers is subject to modification or restriction if we determine, in our sole opinion, that your exercise of the transfer privilege may disadvantage or potentially harm the rights or interests of other owners (or others having an interest in the variable insurance products). As described below, restrictions may take various forms, but under our current policies and procedures will include loss of expedited transfer privileges. We consider transfers by telephone, fax, overnight mail, or the Internet to be “expedited” transfers. This means that we would accept only written transfer requests with an original signature transmitted to us only by U.S. mail. We may also restrict the transfer privileges of others acting on your behalf, including your registered representative or an asset allocation or investment advisory service.
We reserve the right to reject any premium payment or transfer request from any person without prior notice, if, in our judgment, (1) the premium payment or transfer, or series of premium payments or transfers, would have a negative impact on an underlying fund portfolio's operations, or (2) if an underlying fund portfolio would reject or has rejected our purchase order or has instructed us not to allow that purchase or transfer, or (3) because of a history of market timing or disruptive trading. We may impose other restrictions on transfers, or even prohibit transfers for any owner who, in our view, has abused, or appears likely to abuse, the transfer privilege on a case-by-case basis. We may, at any time and without prior notice, discontinue transfer privileges, modify our procedures, impose holding period requirements or limit the number, size, frequency, manner, or timing of transfers we permit. Because determining whether to impose any such special restrictions depends on our judgment and discretion, it is possible that some owners could engage in disruptive trading that is not permitted for others. We also reserve the right to reverse a potentially harmful transfer if an underlying fund portfolio refuses or reverses our order; in such instances some owners may be treated differently than others in that some transfers may be reversed and others allowed. For all of these purposes, we may aggregate two or more trades or variable insurance products that we believe are connected by owner or persons engaged in trading on behalf of owners.
In addition, transfers for multiple policies invested in the Transamerica Series Trust underlying fund portfolios which are submitted together may be disruptive at certain levels. At the present time, such aggregated transactions likely will not cause disruption if less than one million dollars total is being transferred with respect to any one underlying fund portfolio (a smaller amount may apply to smaller portfolios). Please note that transfers of less than one million dollars may be disruptive in some circumstances and this general amount may change quickly.
For policies with Portfolio Allocation Method, the effect of transfers pursuant thereto may be considered disruptive for certain underlying fund portfolios. As a result, policy owners using Portfolio Allocation Method may have to change their selected underlying fund portfolios.
Please note: If you engage a third party investment adviser for asset allocation services, then you may be subject to these transfer restrictions because of the actions of your investment adviser in providing these services.
In addition to our internal policies and procedures, we will administer your variable annuity to comply with any applicable state, federal, and other regulatory requirements concerning transfers. We reserve the right to implement, administer, and charge you for any fee or restriction, including redemption fees, imposed by any underlying fund portfolio. To the extent permitted by law, we also reserve the right to defer the transfer privilege at any time that we are unable to purchase or redeem shares of any of the underlying fund portfolios.
Under our current policies and procedures, we do not:
impose redemption fees on transfers; or
expressly limit the number or size of transfers in a given period except for certain subaccounts where an underlying fund portfolio has advised us to prohibit certain transfers that exceed a certain size; or
provide a certain number of allowable transfers in a given period.
Redemption fees, transfer limits, and other procedures or restrictions imposed by the underlying funds or our competitors may be more or less successful than ours in deterring market timing or other disruptive trading and in preventing or limiting harm from such trading.
13

In the absence of a prophylactic transfer restriction (e.g., expressly limiting the number of trades within a given period or limiting trades by their size), it is likely that some level of market timing and disruptive trading will occur before it is detected and steps taken to deter it (although some level of market timing and disruptive trading can occur with a prophylactic transfer restriction). As noted above, we do not impose a prophylactic transfer restriction and, therefore, it is likely that some level of market timing and disruptive trading will occur before we are able to detect it and take steps in an attempt to deter it.
Please note that the limits and restrictions described herein are subject to our ability to monitor transfer activity. Our ability to detect market timing or disruptive trading may be limited by operational and technological systems, as well as by our ability to predict strategies employed by owners (or those acting on their behalf) to avoid detection. As a result, despite our efforts to prevent harmful trading activity among the variable investment options available under this variable insurance product, there is no assurance that we will be able to detect or deter market timing or disruptive trading by such owners or intermediaries acting on their behalf. Moreover, our ability to discourage and restrict market timing or disruptive trading may be limited by decisions of state regulatory bodies and court orders that we cannot predict.
Furthermore, we may revise our policies and procedures in our sole discretion at any time and without prior notice, as we deem necessary or appropriate (1) to better detect and deter harmful trading that may adversely affect other owners, other persons with material rights under the variable insurance products, or underlying fund shareholders generally, (2) to comply with state or federal regulatory requirements, or (3) to impose additional or alternative restrictions on owners engaging in market timing or disruptive trading among the investment options under the variable insurance product. In addition, we may not honor transfer requests if any variable investment option that would be affected by the transfer is unable to purchase or redeem shares of its corresponding underlying fund portfolio.
Underlying Fund Portfolio Frequent Trading Policies. The underlying fund portfolios may have adopted their own policies and procedures with respect to frequent purchases and redemptions of their respective shares. Underlying fund portfolios may, for example, assess a redemption fee (which we reserve the right to collect) on shares held for less than a certain period of time. The prospectuses for the underlying fund portfolios describe any such policies and procedures. The frequent trading policies and procedures of an underlying fund portfolio may be different, and more or less restrictive, than the frequent trading policies and procedures of other underlying fund portfolios and the policies and procedures we have adopted for our variable insurance products to discourage market timing and disruptive trading. Owners should be aware that we do not monitor transfer requests from owners or persons acting on behalf of owners against, nor do we apply, the frequent trading policies and procedures of the respective underlying fund portfolios that would be affected by the transfers.
Owners should be aware that we are required to provide to an underlying fund portfolio or its payee, promptly upon request, certain information about the trading activity of individual owners, and to restrict or prohibit further purchases or transfers by specific owners or persons acting on their behalf, identified by an underlying fund portfolio as violating the frequent trading policies established for the underlying fund portfolio.
Omnibus Orders. Owners and other persons with material rights under the variable insurance products also should be aware that the purchase and redemption orders received by the underlying fund portfolios generally are “omnibus” orders from intermediaries such as retirement plans and separate accounts funding variable insurance products. The omnibus orders reflect the aggregation and netting of multiple orders from individual retirement plan participants and individual owners of variable insurance products. The omnibus nature of these orders may limit the underlying fund portfolios' ability to apply their respective frequent trading policies and procedures.
We cannot guarantee that the underlying fund portfolios will not be harmed by transfer activity relating to the retirement plans or other insurance companies that may invest in the underlying fund portfolios. These other insurance companies are responsible for their own policies and procedures regarding frequent transfer activity. If their policies and procedures fail to successfully discourage harmful transfer activity, it may affect other owners of underlying fund portfolio shares, as well as the owners of all of the variable annuity or life insurance policies, including ours, whose variable investment options correspond to the affected underlying fund portfolios. In addition, if an underlying fund portfolio believes that an omnibus order we submit may reflect one or more transfer requests from owners engaged in market timing and disruptive trading, the underlying fund portfolio may reject the entire omnibus order and thereby delay or prevent us from implementing your request.
Investment Restrictions
If you elect certain optional riders, you will be subject to investment restrictions requiring you to invest in certain underlying fund portfolios, known as designated investment options. In the future, we may change the investment restrictions.
One or more of the underlying fund portfolios that may be designated investment options under each optional rider, in part, may include a volatility control strategy. Volatility control strategies, in periods of high market volatility, could limit your participation in market gains; this may conflict with your investment objectives by limiting your ability to maximize potential
14

growth of your policy value and, in turn, the value of any guaranteed benefit that is tied to investment performance. Volatility control strategies are intended to help limit overall volatility and reduce the effects of significant market downturns during periods of high market volatility, providing policy owners with the opportunity for smoother performance and better risk adjusted returns. Volatility control (and similar terms) can encompass a variety of investment strategies of different types and degrees; therefore, you should read the applicable annuity and underlying fund portfolio prospectuses carefully to understand how these investment strategies may affect your policy value and rider benefits. Our requirement to invest in accordance with designated investment options, which may include volatility control, may reduce our costs and risks associated with this rider. You pay an additional fee for the rider benefits which, in part, pay for protecting the rider benefit base from investment losses. Since the rider benefit base does not decrease as a result of investment losses, volatility control strategies might not provide meaningful additional benefit to you. You should carefully evaluate with your financial advisor whether to invest in underlying fund portfolios with volatility control strategies, taking into consideration the potential positive or negative impact that such strategy may have on your investment objectives, your policy value and the benefits under the riders. If you determine that funds with volatility control strategies are not consistent with your investment objectives, there continues to be other designated investment options available under the riders that do not invest in funds that utilize volatility control strategies.
For more information about the underlying fund portfolios and the investment strategies they employ, please refer to the underlying fund portfolios' current prospectuses.
EXPENSES
There are charges and expenses associated with your policy that reduce the return on your investment in the policy. In addition to the following charges, there are optional benefits that if selected, assess additional charges. Please see ADDITIONAL FEATURES for more information.
Surrender Charges
During the accumulation phase, you can surrender part or all of the cash value (restrictions may apply to qualified policies). We may apply a surrender charge to compensate us for start-up expenses of the policy relating to sales, including commissions to registered representatives and other promotional expenses.
You can surrender up to 10% of your premium payments each policy year free of surrender charges. This amount is referred to as the surrender charge free amount and is determined at the time of surrender. (This amount is not cumulative, so not surrendering anything in one year does not increase the surrender charge free amount in subsequent years.) If the surrender is in excess of the surrender charge free amount, you might have to pay a surrender charge, which is a contingent deferred sales charge, on the excess amount.
For example, assume you selected the B-Share and your premium is $100,000 and your policy value is $106,000 at the beginning of the second policy year and you surrender $30,000. Since that amount is more than your surrender charge free amount ($10,000), you would pay a surrender charge of $1,600 on the remaining $20,000 [8% of ($30,000 - $10,000)]. Likewise, assume you selected the B-Share and your policy value is $80,000 (premium payments $100,000) at the beginning of the second policy year and you surrender your policy. You would pay a surrender charge of $7,200 [8% of ($100,000 - ($100,000 x 10%))].
You can generally choose to receive the full amount of a requested partial surrender by directing us to deduct any applicable surrender charge (and any applicable excess interest adjustment) from your remaining policy value. You receive your cash value upon full surrender.
Surrender charges are waived if you surrender money under the Nursing Care and Terminal Condition Withdrawal Option or the Unemployment Waiver.
For surrender charge purposes, earnings are considered to be surrendered first, then the oldest premium is considered to be surrendered next. Please note, while there is no surrender charge on the withdrawal of earnings, withdrawn earnings do count towards your surrender charge free amount. This means that withdrawing earnings will reduce (possibly to zero) your surrender charge free amount (10% of premium payments) for that policy year.
Keep in mind that surrenders may be taxable and, if made before age 59½, may be subject to a 10% federal penalty tax. For tax purposes, surrenders from nonqualified policies are considered to come from taxable earnings first.
We may elect to reduce or eliminate the amount of the surrender charge when the policy is sold under circumstances which reduce our sales or other expenses or when required to by regulation or regulatory authority.
15

Liquidity Rider Surrender Charge Schedule. The optional Liquidity Rider (only available with the B-Share) reduces the number of years each premium payment is subject to surrender charges from seven years to four years. The surrender charge schedule is the same as the B-Share during the first four years for each premium payment. There is an extra charge for this rider.
Excess Interest Adjustment
Surrenders, withdrawals, transfers, amounts applied when a death benefit is calculated, and amounts applied to an annuity option from the fixed account may be subject to an excess interest adjustment. This adjustment could retroactively reduce the interest credited in the fixed account to the guaranteed minimum or increase the amount credited. This adjustment may also apply to amounts applied to an annuity payment option. Please see “Appendix - Excess Interest Adjustment Examples” for an example showing the effect of a hypothetical excess interest adjustment calculation. The excess interest adjustment plays a role in calculating the total interest credited to the fixed account.
Mortality and Expense Risk Fees
We charge a fee as compensation for bearing certain mortality and expense risks under the policy. This fee is assessed daily based on the net asset value of each subaccount. Examples of such risks include a guarantee of annuity rates, the death benefit, certain expenses of the policy (including distribution related expenses), and assuming the risk that the current charges will be insufficient in the future to cover costs of selling, distributing and administering the policy.
If this charge does not cover our actual costs, we absorb the loss. Conversely, if the charge more than covers actual costs, the excess is added to our surplus. We expect to profit from this charge. We may use any profit for any proper purpose, including distribution expenses.
Premium Taxes
A deduction is also made for premium taxes, if any, imposed on us by a state, municipality or other government agency. The tax, currently ranging from 0% to 3.50%, is assessed at the time premium payments are made or when annuity payments begin. We pay the premium tax at the time it is imposed. We will, at our discretion, deduct the total amount of premium taxes, if any, from the policy value when such taxes are due to the applicable taxing authority, you begin receiving annuity payments, you surrender the policy or a death benefit is paid.
Federal, State and Local Taxes
We may in the future deduct charges from the policy for any taxes we incur because of the policy. However, no deductions are being made at the present time.
Special Service Fees
We may deduct a charge for special services, including overnight delivery; duplicate policies; non-sufficient checks on new business; duplicate Form 1099 and Form 5498 tax forms; duplicate disclosure documents and semi-annual reports; check copies; printing and mailing previously submitted forms; and asset verification requests from mortgage companies. In addition, we may consider as special services customer initiated changes, modifications and transactions which are submitted in such a manner as to require us to incur additional processing costs.
Transfer Fee
You are generally allowed to make 12 free transfers per policy year before the annuity commencement date. If you make more than 12 transfers per policy year, we reserve the right to charge for each additional transfer. Premium payments, Asset Rebalancing, and Dollar Cost Averaging transfers do not count as one of your free transfers. All transfer requests made at the same time are treated as a single transfer.
Service Charge
We reserve the right to increase the annual service charge up to the maximum. A portion of the service charge may be waived, but is not guaranteed to always be waived. We reserve the right to vary the amount of any waiver and the circumstances in which any waiver or waivers apply.
16

Administrative Charges
We deduct a daily administrative charge to cover the costs of supporting and administering the policy (including certain distribution-related expenses). This charge is equal to a percentage of the daily net asset value of each subaccount during both the accumulation phase and the income phase.
Fund Facilitation Fee
We charge a fund facilitation fee in order to make certain subaccounts available as investment options under the policies. We apply the fee to subaccounts that invest in underlying funds that do not provide us with the amount of revenue we require in order for us to meet our expenses and revenue targets. This fee is assessed daily based on the net asset value of subaccounts that we specify.
Optional Benefits
If you elect to purchase optional benefits, we will deduct an additional fee. For some optional benefits the fee is assessed against the daily net asset value of each subaccount and for others it is deducted from each investment option in proportion to the amount of policy value in each investment option. Please refer to the FEE TABLE AND EXPENSE EXAMPLES for the list of fees for each optional benefit and ADDITIONAL FEATURES for more information.
Portfolio Fees and Expenses
The value of the assets in each subaccount will reflect the fees and expenses paid by the underlying fund portfolios. The lowest and highest underlying fund portfolio expenses for the previous calendar year are found in FEE TABLE AND EXPENSE EXAMPLES in this prospectus. See the prospectuses for the underlying fund portfolios for more information.
Reduced Fees and Charges
We may, at our discretion, reduce or eliminate certain fees and charges for certain policies (including employer-sponsored savings plans) which may result in decreased costs and expenses.
Revenue We Receive
This prospectus describes generally the payments that we (and/or our affiliates) may directly or indirectly receive from the underlying fund portfolios, their advisers, subadvisers, distributors or affiliates thereof, in connection with certain administrative, marketing and other support services we (and/or our affiliates) provide and expenses we incur in offering and selling our variable insurance products. These arrangements are sometimes referred to as “revenue sharing” arrangements and are described further below. While only certain of the types of payments described below may be made in connection with your particular policy, all such payments may nonetheless influence or impact actions we (and/or our affiliates) take, and recommendations we (and our affiliates) make, regarding each of the variable insurance products that we (and our affiliates) offer, including your policy.
We (and/or our affiliates) may receive some or all of the following types of payments:
• Rule 12b-1 Fees. We and/or our affiliate, Transamerica Capital, Inc. (“TCI”) who is the principal underwriter for the policies, indirectly receive 12b-1 fees from certain underlying fund portfolios available as investment options under our variable insurance products. Any 12b-1 fees received by TCI that are attributable to our variable insurance products are then credited to us. These fees range from 0.00% to 0.35% of the average daily assets of the certain underlying fund portfolios attributable to the policies and to certain other variable insurance products that we and our affiliates issue.
• Administrative, Marketing and Support Service Fees (“Support Fees”). As noted above, an investment adviser, subadviser, administrator and/or distributor (or affiliates thereof) of the underlying fund portfolios may make payments to us and/or our affiliates, including TCI. These payments may be derived, in whole or in part, from the profits the investment adviser or subadviser realized on the advisory fee deducted from underlying fund portfolio assets. Policy owners, through their indirect investment in the underlying fund portfolios, bear the costs of these advisory fees (see the prospectuses for the underlying funds for more information). The amount of the payments we (or our affiliates) receive is generally based on a percentage of the assets of the particular underlying fund portfolios attributable to the policy and to certain other variable insurance products that our affiliates and we issue. These percentages differ and the amounts may be significant. Some advisers or sub-advisers (or other affiliates) pay us more than others.
17

The following chart provides the maximum combined percentages of 12b-1 fees and Support Fees that we anticipate will be paid to us on an annual basis.
Incoming Payments to Us and/or TCI
Fund   Maximum Fee % of assets
TRANSAMERICA SERIES TRUST   0.25%
AB VARIABLE PRODUCTS SERIES FUND, INC.   0.45%
AMERICAN FUNDS INSURANCE SERIES® TRUST   0.25%
FIDELITY ® VARIABLE INSURANCE PRODUCTS FUND   0.395%
NOTES TO INCOMING PAYMENTS TABLE:
Maximum Fee % of assets: Payments are based on a percentage of the average assets of each underlying fund portfolio owned by the subaccounts available under this policy and under certain other variable insurance products offered by our affiliates and us. We and/or TCI may continue to receive 12b-1 fees and administrative fees on funds invested in subaccounts that are closed to new investments, depending on the terms of the agreements supporting those payments and on the services provided.
TST: Because TST is managed by TAM, an affiliate of ours, there are additional benefits to us and our affiliates for amounts you allocate to the TST underlying fund portfolios, in terms of our and our affiliates’ overall profitability. These additional benefits may be significant. Payments or other benefits may be received from TAM. Such payments or benefits may be entered into for a variety of purposes, such as to allocate resources to us and to provide administrative services to the policyholders who invest in subaccounts that invest in the TST underlying fund portfolios. These payments or benefits may take the form of internal credits, recognition, or cash payments. A variety of financial and accounting methods may be used to allocate resources and profits to us. Additionally, if a TST portfolio is subadvised by an entity that is affiliated with us, we may retain more revenue than on those TST portfolios that are subadvised by non-affiliated entities. During 2014 we received $193,786,739.87 for Transamerica Life Insurance Company and $11,056,449.12 for Transamerica Financial Life Insurance Company in benefits from TAM pursuant to these arrangements. This includes the 0.25% amount in the above chart. We anticipate receiving comparable amounts in the future.
Fidelity ® Variable Insurance Products Fund: We receive this percentage once $100 million in fund shares are held by the subaccounts of ours and our affiliates.
Other Payments. TCI also serves as the wholesale distributor for the policies, and in that capacity directly or indirectly receives additional amounts or different percentages of assets under management from certain advisers and subadvisers to the underlying fund portfolios (or their affiliates) with regard to variable insurance products and/or mutual funds that are issued by us and our affiliates. These amounts may be derived, in whole or in part, from the profits the investment adviser or subadviser receives from the advisory fee deducted from underlying fund portfolio assets. Owners, through their indirect investment in the underlying fund portfolios, bear the costs of these advisory fees. Certain advisers and subadvisers of the underlying fund portfolios (or their affiliates):
may each directly or indirectly pay TCI amounts up to $75,000 per year to participate in a “preferred sponsor” program that provides such advisers and subadvisers with access to TCI's wholesalers at TCI's national and regional sales conferences as well as internal and external meetings and events that are attended by TCI's wholesalers and/or other TCI employees.
may provide our affiliates and/or selling firms with wholesaling services to assist us in the distribution of the policies.
may provide us and/or certain affiliates and/or selling firms with occasional gifts, meals, tickets or other compensation as an incentive to market the underlying fund portfolios and to assist with their promotional efforts. The amounts may be significant and these arrangements provide the adviser or subadviser (or other affiliates) with increased access to us and to our affiliates involved in the distribution of the policies.
For the calendar year ended December 31, 2014, TCI and its affiliates received revenue sharing payments that totaled approximately $750,000. The firms that paid revenue to participate in TCI sponsored events included but were not limited to the following: Aegon USA Investment Management • Alliance Bernstein Investments • American Funds • Barrow, Hanley, Mewhinney & Strauss • BlackRock Investment Management, LLC • CBRE Clarion Real Estate Securities • Fidelity Investments • Janus Capital • Jennison Associates • JP Morgan Asset Management • Kayne Anderson Capital • Legg Mason Capital Management • Logan Circle Investment Partners • Morningstar Advisers • Natixis Global Asset Management • Pacific Investment Management Company • PineBridge Investments • Ranger Investments • Systematic Financial Management • Thompson Siegel & Walmsley, LLC • Vanguard • Wellington Management Company.
Please note some of the aforementioned managers and/or subadvisers may not be associated with underlying fund portfolios currently available in this product.
18

Proceeds from certain of these payments by the underlying fund portfolios, the advisers, the subadvisers and/or their affiliates may be used for any corporate purpose, including payment of expenses (1) that we and our affiliates incur in promoting, marketing, and administering the policy, and (2) that we incur, in our role as intermediary, in promoting, marketing, and administering the underlying fund portfolios. We and our affiliates may profit from these payments.
For further details about the compensation payments we make in connection with the sale of the policies, see OTHER INFORMATION - Distribution of the Policies in this prospectus.
ACCESS TO YOUR MONEY
During the accumulation phase, you can have access to the money in your policy in the following ways:
by making a surrender (either a full or partial surrender); or
by taking systematic payouts (See ADDITIONAL FEATURES - Systematic Payout Option for more details).
Surrenders
During the accumulation phase, if you take a full surrender you will receive your cash value. If you want to take a partial surrender, in most cases it must be for at least $500 . Unless you tell us otherwise, we will take the surrender from each of the investment options in proportion to the policy value. Surrenders may be referred to as withdrawals on your policy statement and other documents.
You may elect to take up to the surrender charge free amount each policy year without incurring a surrender charge. Remember that any surrender you take will reduce the policy value, and the amount of the death benefit. See DEATH BENEFIT, for more details. A partial surrender also may have a negative impact on certain other benefits and guarantees of your policy. See ADDITIONAL FEATURES, for more details.
Surrenders in excess of the surrender charge free amount may be subject to a surrender charge. Surrenders from the fixed account may be subject to an excess interest adjustment. Income taxes, federal tax penalties and certain restrictions may apply to any surrenders you make.
Surrenders from qualified policies may be restricted or prohibited.
During the income phase, you will receive annuity payments under the annuity payment option you select; however, you generally may not take any other surrenders, either full or partial.
Delay of Payment and Transfers
Payment of any amount due from the separate account for a surrender, a death benefit, or the death of the owner of a nonqualified policy, will generally occur within seven days from the date we receive in good order all required information at our Administrative Office. We may defer such payment from the separate account if:
the New York Stock Exchange is closed other than for usual weekends or holidays or trading on the Exchange is otherwise restricted;
an emergency exists as defined by the SEC or the SEC requires that trading be restricted; or
the SEC permits a delay for the protection of owners.
Transfers of amounts from the subaccounts also may be deferred under these circumstances. In addition, if, pursuant to SEC rules, the Transamerica Aegon Money Market VP portfolio (or any money market portfolio offered under this policy) suspends payment of redemption proceeds in connection with a liquidation of the portfolio, then we may delay payment of any transfer, surrender (either full or partial), loan, or death benefit from the TA Aegon Money Market subaccount until the portfolio is liquidated.
Any payment or transfer request which is not in good order will cause a delay. See OTHER INFORMATION - Sending Forms and Transaction Requests in Good Order.
Federal laws designed to counter terrorism and prevent money laundering by criminals might in certain circumstances require us to reject a premium payment and/or “freeze” an owner's account. If these laws apply in a particular situation, we would not be allowed to pay any request for surrenders (either full or partial), or death benefits, make transfers, or continue making annuity payments absent instructions from the appropriate federal regulator. We may also be required to provide information about you and your policy to government agencies or departments.
Pursuant to the requirements of certain state laws, we reserve the right to defer payment of the cash value from the fixed account for up to six months. We may defer payment of any amount until your premium payment check has cleared your bank.

Excess Interest Adjustment
Surrenders, withdrawals, transfers, and amounts applied to an annuity option, from a guaranteed period option of the fixed account before the end of its guaranteed period (the number of years you specified the money would remain in the guaranteed period option) may be subject to an excess interest adjustment. If, at the time of such transactions the guaranteed interest rate set by us for the applicable period has risen since the date of the initial guarantee, the excess interest adjustment will result in a lower cash value (but not below the excess interest adjustment floor described in “Appendix - Excess Interest Adjustment Examples”). However, if the guaranteed interest rate for the applicable period has fallen since the date of the initial guarantee, the excess interest adjustment will result in a higher cash value upon surrender or transfer. Please see “Appendix - Excess Interest Adjustment Examples” to see how the excess interest adjustment is calculated and illustrative examples using hypothetical values.
Any amount surrendered in excess of the cumulative interest credited for that guaranteed period option is generally subject to an excess interest adjustment. An excess interest adjustment may also be made on amounts applied to an annuity payment option.
The formula that will be used to determine the excess interest adjustment is:
S* (G-C)* (M/12)
S = Is the amount (before surrender charges, premium taxes and the application of any Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefits, if any) being surrendered, withdrawn, transferred, paid upon death, or applied to an income option that is subject to the excess interest adjustment;
G = Is the guaranteed interest rate for the guaranteed period applicable to “S”;
C = Is the current guaranteed interest rate then being offered on new premium payments for the next longer option period than “M”. If this policy form or such an option period is no longer offered, “C” will be the U.S. Treasury rate for the next longer maturity (in whole years) than “M” on the 25th day of the previous calendar month; and
M = Number of months remaining in the current option period for “S”, rounded up to the next higher whole number of months.
* = multiplication
Please see “Appendix - Excess Interest Adjustment Examples” for more detailed information concerning the excess interest adjustment calculation.
There will be no excess interest adjustment on any of the following:
withdrawals of cumulative interest credited for that guaranteed period option;
Nursing Care and Terminal Condition Waiver surrenders;
Unemployment Waiver surrenders;
transfers from a Dollar Cost Averaging fixed source;
withdrawals to satisfy any minimum distribution requirements; and
systematic withdrawals, which do not exceed cumulative interest credited at the time of payment.
Please note that in these circumstances you will not receive a higher cash value if interest rates have fallen nor will you receive a lower cash value if interest rates have risen.
The excess interest adjustment may vary for certain policies and may not be applicable for all policies.
Signature Guarantee
As a protection against fraud, we require a signature guarantee (i.e., Medallion Signature Guarantee as required by us) for the following transaction requests:
Any surrenders over $250,000;
Certain surrenders on or within 15 days of an address change;
Any surrender request made on or within 15 days of an ownership change;
Any surrender when we have been directed to send proceeds to a different personal address from the address of record for that owner. PLEASE NOTE: This requirement will not apply to requests made in connection with exchanges of one annuity for another with the same owner in a “tax-free exchange”;
20

Any surrender when we do not have an originating or guaranteed signature on file;
Any other transaction we require.
We may change the specific requirements listed above, or add signature guarantees in other circumstances, at our discretion if we deem it necessary or appropriate to help protect against fraud. For current requirements, please refer to the requirements listed on the appropriate form or call us at (800)525-6205.
You can obtain a Medallion signature guarantee from more than 7,000 financial institutions across the United States and Canada that participate in a Medallion signature guarantee program. The best source of a Medallion signature guarantee is a bank, savings and loan association, brokerage firm, or credit union with which you do business. A notary public cannot provide a Medallion signature guarantee. Notarization will not substitute for a Medallion signature guarantee.
ANNUITY PAYMENTS (THE INCOME PHASE)
Upon the annuity commencement date, which is the date your policy is annuitized and annuity payments begin, your annuity switches from the accumulation phase to the income phase. You can generally change the annuity commencement date by giving us 30 days notice with the new date or age. Unless required by state law this date cannot be earlier than the third policy anniversary. The latest annuity commencement date generally cannot be later than the last day of the month following the month in which the annuitant attains age 99 (earlier if required by state law).
Before the annuity commencement date, if the annuitant is alive, you may choose an annuity payment option or change your election. If the annuitant dies before the annuity commencement date, the death benefit is payable in a lump sum or under one of the annuity payment options (unless the surviving spouse is eligible to and elects to continue the policy). If the annuitant dies after the annuity commencement date, no death benefit is payable and the amount payable will depend on the annuity income option.
Your policy may not be “partially” annuitized, i.e., you may not apply a portion of your policy value to an annuity option while keeping the remainder of your policy in force.
Unless you specify otherwise, the owner will receive the annuity payments. After the annuitant's death, the beneficiary you designate at annuitization will receive any remaining guaranteed payments.
Annuity Payment Options
The policy provides several annuity payment options (also known as income options) that are described below. You may choose any combination of annuity payment options. We will use your adjusted policy value to provide these annuity payments. If the adjusted policy value on the annuity commencement date is less than $2,000, we reserve the right to pay it in one lump sum in lieu of applying it under an annuity payment option. You can receive annuity payments monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually. (We reserve the right to change the frequency if annuity payments would be less than the amount specified in your policy.) We may require proof of life before making annuity payments.
In deciding on which annuity payment option to elect, you must decide if fixed or variable payments are better for you. If you choose to receive fixed annuity payments, then the amount of each payment will be set on the annuity commencement date and will not change. You may, however, choose to receive variable annuity payments. The dollar amount of the first variable annuity payment will be determined in accordance with the annuity payment rates set forth in the applicable table contained in the policy. The dollar amount of additional variable annuity payments will vary based on the investment performance of the subaccount(s) you select. The dollar amount of each variable annuity payment after the first may increase, decrease, or remain constant. If the actual investment performance (net of fees and expenses) exactly matched the assumed investment return of 3% at all times, the amount of each variable annuity payment would remain constant. If actual investment performance (net of fees and expenses) exceeds the assumed investment return, the amount of the variable annuity payments would increase. Conversely, if actual investment performance (net of fees and expenses) is lower than the assumed investment return, the amount of the variable annuity payments would decrease.
You must also decide if you want your annuity payments to be guaranteed for the annuitant's lifetime, a period certain, or a combination thereof. Generally, annuity payments will be lower if you combine a period certain, guaranteed amount, or liquidity with a lifetime guarantee (e.g., Life Income with 10 years Certain and Life with Guaranteed Return of Policy proceeds). Likewise, annuity payments will also generally be lower the longer the period certain (because you are guaranteed payments for a longer time).
A charge for premium taxes and an excess interest adjustment may be made when annuity payments begin.
The annuity payment options currently available are explained below. Some options are fixed only.
21

Income for a Specified Period of at least 10 years (fixed only). We will make level annuity payments only for a fixed period of at least 10 years. No funds will remain at the end of the period. If your policy is a qualified policy, this annuity payment option may not satisfy minimum required distribution rules. Consult a tax advisor before electing this option.
Income of a Specified Amount (fixed only). Payments are made for any specified amount until the amount applied to this option, with interest, is exhausted. This will be a series of level annuity payments followed by a smaller final annuity payment. If your policy is a qualified policy, this annuity payment option may not satisfy minimum required distribution rules. Consult a tax advisor before electing this option.
Life Income. You may choose between:
No Period Certain (fixed or variable) - Payments will be made only during the annuitant's lifetime. The last annuity payment will be the payment immediately before the annuitant's death.
10 Years Certain (fixed or variable) - Payments will be made for the longer of the annuitant's lifetime or ten years.
Guaranteed Return of Policy Proceeds (fixed only) - Payments will be made for the longer of the annuitant's lifetime or until the total dollar amount of annuity payments we made to you equals the annuitized amount (i.e., the adjusted policy value).
Joint and Survivor Annuity. You may choose:
No Period Certain (fixed or variable) - Payments are made during the joint lifetime of the annuitant and a joint annuitant of your selection. Annuity payments will be made as long as either person is living.
10 Year Certain (fixed only) - Payments will be made for the longer of the lifetime of the annuitant and joint annuitant or ten years.
Other annuity payment options may be arranged by agreement with us. Some annuity payment options may not be available for all policies, all ages or we may limit certain annuity payment options to ensure they comply with the applicable tax law provisions.
NOTE CAREFULLY
IF:
you choose Life Income with No Period Certain or a Joint and Survivor Annuity with No Period Certain; and
the annuitant dies (or both joint annuitants die) before the due date of the second (third, fourth, etc.) annuity payment;
THEN:
we may make only one (two, three, etc.) annuity payments.
IF:
you choose Income for a Specified Period, Life Income with 10 Years Certain, Life Income with Guaranteed Return of Policy Proceeds, or Income of a Specified Amount; and
the person receiving annuity payments dies prior to the end of the guaranteed period;
THEN:
the remaining guaranteed annuity payments will be continued to a new payee, or their present value may be paid in a single sum.
We will not pay interest on amounts represented by uncashed annuity payment checks if the postal or other delivery service is unable to deliver checks to the payee's address of record. The person receiving annuity payments is responsible for keeping us informed of his/her current address.
You must annuitize your policy no later than the maximum annuity commencement date specified in your policy (earlier for certain distribution channels) or a later date if agreed to by us. If you do not elect an annuity payment option, the default option will be Life with 10 Years Certain (subject to certain exceptions for qualified policies). If any portion of the default annuitization is a variable payout option, then annuity units will be purchased proportionally based off your available current investment allocations. Please note, all benefits (including guaranteed minimum death benefits and living benefits) terminate upon annuitization. The only benefits that remain include the guarantees provided under the terms of the annuity option.
DEATH BENEFIT
We will pay a death benefit to your beneficiary, under certain circumstances, if the annuitant dies during the accumulation phase. If there is a surviving owner(s) when the annuitant dies, the surviving owner(s) will receive the death benefit instead of the listed beneficiary. The person receiving the death benefit may choose an annuity payment option (if you pick a variable annuity payment
22

option fees and expenses will apply), or may choose to receive the death benefit via partial withdrawals, or lump sum withdrawal. The guarantees of these death benefits are based on our claims-paying ability. No death benefit will be payable upon or after the annuity commencement date. Please note that there is a mandatory annuity commencement date.
We will determine the amount of and process the death benefit proceeds, if any are payable on a policy, upon receipt at our Administrative Office of satisfactory proof of the annuitant's death, directions regarding how to process the death benefit, and any other documents, forms and information that we need (collectively referred to as “due proof of death”). For policies with multiple beneficiaries, we will process when the first beneficiary provides us with due proof of their share of the death proceeds. We will not pay any remaining beneficiary their share until we receive due proof of death from that beneficiary. Such beneficiaries continue to bear the investment risk until they submit due proof of death. Please note, we may be required to remit the death benefit proceeds to a state prior to receiving “due proof of death.” See OTHER INFORMATION - Abandoned or Unclaimed Property.
Please Note: Such due proof of death must be received in good order to avoid a delay in processing the death benefit claim. Due proof requires selecting a payment option. See OTHER INFORMATION - Sending Forms and Transaction Requests in Good Order.
The death benefit proceeds remain invested in the separate account in accordance with the allocations made by the policy owner until the beneficiary has provided us with due proof of death. Once we receive due proof of death, investments in the separate account may be reallocated in accordance with the beneficiary's instructions.
We may permit the beneficiary to give a “one-time” written instruction to reallocate the policy value in the separate account to the money market subaccount after the death of the annuitant. If there is more than one beneficiary, all beneficiaries must agree to the reallocation instructions. This one-time reallocation will be permitted if the beneficiary provides satisfactory evidence of the annuitant's death (satisfactory evidence may include a certified death certificate).
When We Pay A Death Benefit
We will pay a death benefit IF:
you are both the annuitant and sole owner of the policy; and
you die before the annuity commencement date.
We will pay a death benefit to you (owner) IF:
you are not the annuitant; and
the annuitant dies before the annuity commencement date.
If the sole beneficiary receiving the death benefit is the surviving spouse of the owner, then he or she may elect, if eligible, to continue the policy as the new annuitant and owner, instead of receiving the death benefit. See DEATH BENEFIT - Spousal Continuation. All currently existing surrender charges will be waived.
When We Do Not Pay A Death Benefit
We will not pay a death benefit IF:
you are the owner but not the annuitant; and
you die prior to the annuity commencement date.
Please note: Distribution requirements apply upon the death of any owner. Generally, upon the owner's death (who is not the annuitant) the entire interest must be distributed within five years. See TAX INFORMATION for a more detailed discussion of the distribution requirements under the Code.
Deaths After the Annuity Commencement Date
The amount payable, if any, on or after the annuity commencement date depends on the annuity income option.
IF:
you are not the annuitant; and
you die on or after the annuity commencement date; and
the entire guaranteed interest in the policy has not been paid;
THEN:
the remaining portion of such guaranteed interest in the policy will continue to be distributed at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution being used as of the date of your death.
23

IF:
you are the owner and annuitant; and
you die after the annuity commencement date; and
the annuity payment option you selected did not have or no longer has a guaranteed period;
THEN:
no additional payments will be made.
Succession of Ownership
If an owner (who is not the annuitant) dies during the accumulation phase, the person or entity first listed below who is alive or in existence on the date of that death will become the new owner:
any surviving owner;
primary beneficiary;
contingent beneficiary; or
owner's estate.
Spousal Continuation
If the sole primary beneficiary is the spouse, upon the owner's or the annuitant's death, the beneficiary may elect to continue the policy in his or her own name. Upon the annuitant's death if such election is made, the policy value will be adjusted upward (but not downward) to an amount equal to the death benefit amount determined upon such election and receipt of due proof of death of the annuitant. Any excess of the death benefit amount over the policy value will be allocated to each applicable investment option in the ratio that the policy value in the investment option bears to the total policy value. The terms and conditions of the policy that applied prior to the annuitant's death will continue to apply, with certain exceptions described in the policy. For purposes of the death benefit on the continued policy, the death benefit is calculated in the same manner as it was prior to continuation on the date the spouse continues the policy. See TAX INFORMATION - Same Sex Relationships for more information concerning spousal continuation involving same sex spouses.
For these purposes, if the sole primary beneficiary of the policy is a revocable grantor trust and the spouse of the owner/annuitant is the sole grantor, trustee, and beneficiary of the trust and the trust is using the spouse of the owner/annuitant's social security number at the time of claim, she or he shall be treated as the owner/annuitant's spouse. In those circumstances, the owner/annuitant's spouse will be treated as the beneficiary of the policy for purposes of applying the spousal continuation provisions of the policy.
For these purposes, if the owner is an individual retirement account within the meaning of IRC sections 408 or 408A and if the annuitant's spouse is the sole primary beneficiary of the annuitant's interest in such account, the annuitant's spouse will be treated as the beneficiary of the policy for purposes of applying the spousal continuation provisions of the policy.
Amount of Death Benefit
Death benefit provisions may differ from state to state. The death benefit may be paid as a lump sum, partial withdrawals or as annuity payments. The amount of the death benefit depends on the guaranteed minimum death benefit option, if any, you choose when you buy the policy. The “base policy” death benefit will generally be the greatest of:
the policy value on the date we receive the required information in good order at our Administrative Office;
the cash value on the date we receive in good order the required information at our Administrative Office (this will be more than the policy value if there is a positive excess interest adjustment that exceeds the surrender charge);
minimum required cash value; and
the guaranteed minimum death benefit (if one was elected) on the date of death; plus premium payments, minus withdrawals, from the date of death to the date the death benefit is paid less any recaptured premium enhancement. Please see “Appendix - Death Benefit” for illustrative examples regarding death benefit calculations.
Please note: The death benefit terminates upon annuitization and there is a maximum annuity commencement date.
Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit
The guaranteed minimum death benefit terminates upon annuitization and there is a mandatory annuity commencement date. On the policy application, you may generally choose a guaranteed minimum death benefit (age limitations may apply) for an additional fee. After the policy is issued, you cannot make an election and the death benefit cannot be changed.
24

Annual Step-Up Death Benefit
Under this option, on each policy anniversary prior to your 81st birthday, a new “stepped-up” death benefit is determined and becomes the guaranteed minimum death benefit for that policy year. This “step-up” death benefit is equal to:
the largest policy value on the policy date or on any policy anniversary prior to the earlier of the annuitant's date of death or the annuitant's 81st birthday; plus
any premium payments since the date of any policy anniversary with the largest policy value; minus
any adjusted partial surrenders (please see “Appendix - Death Benefit”) since the date of the policy anniversary with the largest policy value to the date of death; minus
withdrawals from the date of death to the date the death benefit is paid.
The Annual Step-Up Death Benefit is not available if you or the annuitant is 76 or older on the policy date. There is an extra charge for this death benefit. See FEE TABLE AND EXPENSE EXAMPLES.
Designated Investment Options. If you elected the Annual Step-Up Death Benefit, you must allocate 100% of your policy value to one or more of the designated investment options approved for the Annual Step-Up Death Benefit. See “Appendix - Designated Investment Options” for a complete listing of available subaccounts. Requiring that you designate 100% of your policy value to the designated investment options, some of which employ strategies that are intended to reduce the risk of loss and/or manage volatility, may reduce investment returns and may reduce the likelihood that we will be required to use our own assets to pay amounts due under this benefit.
Please note:
All policy value must be allocated to one or more designated investment options or your death benefit will terminate.
You may transfer amounts among the designated investment options; however, you cannot transfer any amount to any other subaccount if you elect this death benefit.
Return of Premium Death Benefit
The Return of Premium Death Benefit is equal to:
total premium payments; minus
any adjusted partial surrenders (please see “Appendix - Death Benefit”) as of the date of death; minus
withdrawals from the date of death to the date the death benefit is paid.
This benefit is not available if you or the annuitant is 86 or older on the policy date. There is an extra charge for this death benefit. See FEE TABLE AND EXPENSE EXAMPLES.
Designated Investment Options. If you elected the Return of Premium Death Benefit, you must allocate 100% of your policy value to one or more of the designated investment options approved for the Return of Premium Death Benefit. See “Appendix - Designated Investment Options” for a complete listing of available subaccounts. Requiring that you designate 100% of your policy value to the designated investment options, some of which employ strategies that are intended to reduce the risk of loss and/or manage volatility, may reduce investment returns and may reduce the likelihood that we will be required to use our own assets to pay amounts due under this benefit.
Please note:
All policy value must be allocated to one or more designated investment options or your death benefit will terminate.
You may transfer amounts among the designated investment options; however, you cannot transfer any amount to any other subaccount if you elect this death benefit.
Please note: You will not receive an optional guaranteed minimum death benefit if you do not choose one when you purchase your policy.
The Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit may vary for certain policies and may not be available for all policies, in all states, at all times or through all financial intermediaries. We may discontinue offering a guaranteed minimum death benefit at any time.
25

Adjusted Partial Surrender
When you request a partial surrender, your guaranteed minimum death benefit will be reduced by an amount called the adjusted partial surrender. Under certain circumstances, the adjusted partial surrender may be more than the dollar amount of your surrender request. This will generally be the case if the guaranteed minimum death benefit exceeds the policy value at the time of surrender. It is also possible that if a death benefit is paid after you have made a partial surrender, then the total amount paid could be less than the total premium payments.
The formula used to calculate the adjusted partial surrender amount is: adjusted partial surrender = (amount of the gross partial surrender * value of the current death proceeds immediately prior to the gross partial surrender ) / policy value immediately prior to the gross surrender.
We have included a detailed explanation of this adjustment with examples in the “Appendix - Death Benefit.” This is referred to as “adjusted partial surrender” in your policy. If you have a qualified policy, minimum required distributions rules may require you to request a partial surrender.
TAX INFORMATION
NOTE: We have prepared the following information on federal taxes as a general discussion of the subject. It is not intended as tax advice to any taxpayer. The federal tax consequences discussed herein reflects our understanding of current law, and the law may change. No representation is made regarding the likelihood of continuation of the present federal tax law or of the current interpretations by the Internal Revenue Service. The discussion briefly references federal estate, gift and generation-skipping transfer taxes, but principally discusses federal income taxes. No attempt is made 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 the policy. You should consult your own tax adviser about your own circumstances.
Introduction
Deferred annuity policies are a way of setting aside money for future needs like retirement. Congress recognized how important saving for retirement is and provided special rules in the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) for annuities. Simply stated, these rules generally provide that individuals will not be taxed on the earnings, if any, on the money held in an annuity policy until withdrawn. This is referred to as tax deferral. When a non-natural person (e.g., corporation or certain trusts) owns a nonqualified policy, the policy will generally not be treated as an annuity for tax purposes. Thus, the owner must generally include in income any increase in the policy value over the investment in the policy during each taxable year.
There are different rules as to how you will be taxed depending on how you take the money out and the type of policy-qualified or nonqualified.
If you purchase the policy as an individual retirement annuity or as a part of a 403(b) plan, 457 plan, a pension plan, a profit sharing plan (including a 401(k) plan), or certain other employer sponsored retirement programs, your policy is referred to as a qualified policy. There is no additional tax deferral benefit derived from placing qualified funds into a variable annuity. Features other than tax deferral should be considered in the purchase of a qualified policy. There are limits on the amount of contributions you can make to a qualified policy. Other restrictions may apply including terms of the plan in which you participate. To the extent there is a conflict between a plan's provisions and a policy's provisions, the plan's provisions will control.
If you purchase the policy other than as part of any arrangement described in the preceding paragraph, the policy is referred to as a nonqualified policy.
You will generally not be taxed on increases in the value of your policy, whether qualified or nonqualified, until a distribution occurs (e.g., as a surrender, withdrawal, or as annuity payments). However, you may be subject to current taxation if you assign or pledge or enter into an agreement to assign or pledge any portion of the policy. You may also be subject to current taxation if you make a gift of a nonqualified policy without valuable consideration. All amounts received from the policy that are includible in income are taxed at ordinary income rates; no amounts received from the policy are taxable at the lower rates applicable to capital gains.
The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) has not reviewed the policy for qualification as an IRA annuity, and has not addressed in a ruling of general applicability whether the death benefit options and riders available, with the policy, if any, comport with IRA qualification requirements.
The value of living and death benefit options and riders elected may need to be taken into account in calculating minimum required distributions from a qualified plan/or policy.
26

We may occasionally enter into settlements with owners and beneficiaries to resolve issues relating to the policy. Such settlements will be reported on the applicable tax form (e.g., Form 1099) provided to the taxpayer and the taxing authorities.
Taxation of Us
We are at present taxed as a life insurance company under part I of Subchapter L of the Code. The separate account is treated as a part of us and, accordingly, will not be taxed separately as a “regulated investment company” under Subchapter M of the Code. We do not expect to incur any federal income tax liability with respect to investment income and net capital gains arising from the activities of the separate account retained as part of the reserves under the policy. Based on this expectation, it is anticipated that no charges will be made against the separate account for federal income taxes. If in future years, any federal income taxes are incurred by us with respect to the separate account, we may make a charge to that account. We may benefit from any dividends received or foreign tax credits attributable to taxes paid by certain underlying fund portfolios to foreign jurisdictions to the extent permitted under federal tax law.
Tax Status of a Nonqualified Policy
Diversification Requirements. In order for a nonqualified variable policy which is based on a segregated asset account to qualify as an annuity policy under Section 817(h) of the Code, the investments made by such account must be “adequately diversified” in accordance with Treasury Regulations. The Regulations apply a diversification requirement to each of the subaccounts. Each separate account, through its underlying fund portfolios and their portfolios, intends to comply with the diversification requirements of the Regulations. We have entered into agreements with each underlying fund portfolio company that require the portfolios to be operated in compliance with the Regulations but we do not have control over the underlying fund portfolio companies. The owners bear the risk that the entire contract could be disqualified as an annuity policy under the Code due to the failure of a subaccount to be deemed to be “adequately diversified.”
Owner Control. In some circumstances, owners of variable policies who retain excessive control over the investment of the underlying separate account assets may be treated as the owners of those assets and may be subject to tax on income produced by those assets. In Revenue Ruling 2003-91, the IRS stated that whether the owner of a variable policy is to be treated as the owner of the assets held by the insurance company under the policy will depend on all of the facts and circumstances.
Revenue Ruling 2003-91 also gave an example of circumstances under which the owner of a variable policy would not possess sufficient control over the assets underlying the policy to be treated as the owner of those assets for federal income tax purposes. To the extent the circumstances relating to the issuance and ownership of a policy vary from those described in Revenue Ruling 2003-91, owners bear the risk that they will be treated as the owner of Separate Account assets and taxed accordingly.
We believe that the owner of a policy should not be treated as the owner of the underlying assets. We reserve the right to modify the policies to bring them into conformity with applicable standards should such modification be necessary to prevent owners of the policies from being treated as the owners of the underlying separate account assets. Concerned owners should consult their own tax advisers regarding the tax matter discussed above.
Distribution Requirements. The Code requires that nonqualified policies contain specific provisions for distribution of policy proceeds upon the death of any owner. In order to be treated as an annuity policy for federal income tax purposes, the Code requires that such policies provide that if any owner dies on or after the annuity starting date and before the entire interest in the policy has been distributed, the remaining portion must be distributed at least as rapidly as under the method in effect on such owner's death. If any owner dies before the annuity starting date, the entire interest in the policy must generally be distributed (1) within 5 years after such owner's date of death or (2) be used to provide payments to a designated beneficiary for the life of the beneficiary or for a period not extending beyond the life expectancy of the beneficiary. The designated beneficiary must be an individual and payments must begin within one year of such owner’s death. However, if upon such owner's death the owner's surviving spouse is the sole beneficiary of the policy, then the policy may be continued with the surviving spouse as the new owner. If any owner is a non-natural person (except in the case of certain grantor trusts), then for purposes of these distribution requirements, the primary annuitant shall be treated as an owner and any death or change of such primary annuitant shall be treated as the death of an owner.
In certain instances a designated beneficiary may be permitted to elect a “stretch” withdrawal option as a means of disbursing death proceeds from a nonqualified annuity. The only method we use for making distribution payments from a nonqualified “stretch” withdrawal option is the required minimum distribution method as set forth in Revenue Ruling 2002-62. The applicable payments are calculated using the Single Life Expectancy Table set forth in Treasury Regulation § 1.401(a)(9)-9, A-1.
The nonqualified policies contain provisions intended to comply with these requirements of the Code. No regulations interpreting these requirements of the Code have yet been issued and thus no assurance can be given that the provisions contained in the policies satisfy all such Code requirements. The provisions contained in the policies will be reviewed and modified if necessary to assure that they comply with the Code requirements when clarified by regulation or otherwise.
27

Taxation of Nonqualified Annuities
The following discussion assumes the policy qualifies as an annuity policy for federal income tax purposes.
In General. Code Section 72 governs taxation of annuities in general. We believe that an owner who is an individual will not be taxed on increases in the value of a policy until such amounts are surrendered or distributed. For this purpose, the assignment, pledge, or agreement to assign or pledge any portion of the policy value as collateral for a loan generally will be treated as a distribution of such portion. You may also be subject to current taxation if you make a gift of a nonqualified policy without valuable consideration. The taxable portion of a distribution is taxable as ordinary income.
Non-Natural Persons. Pursuant to Section 72(u) of the Code, a nonqualified policy held by a taxpayer other than a natural person generally will not be treated as an annuity policy under the Code; accordingly, an owner who is not a natural person will recognize as ordinary income for a taxable year the excess, if any, of the policy value over the “investment in the contract”. There are some exceptions to this rule and a prospective purchaser of the policy that is not a natural person should discuss these rules with a competent tax adviser. A policy owned by a trust using the grantor's social security number as its taxpayer identification number will be treated as owned by the grantor (natural person) for the purposes of our application of Section 72 of the Code. Consult a tax adviser for more information on how this may impact your policy.
Different Individual Owner and Annuitant
If the owner and annuitant on the policy are different individuals, there may be negative tax consequences to the owner and/or beneficiaries under the policy if the annuitant predeceases the owner including, but not limited, to the assessment of penalty tax and the loss of certain death benefit distribution options. You may wish to consult your legal counsel or tax adviser if you are considering designating a different individual as the annuitant on your policy to determine the potential tax ramifications of such a designation.
Annuity Starting Date
This section makes reference to the annuity starting date as defined in Section 72 of the Code and the applicable regulations. Generally, the definition of annuity starting date will correspond with the definition of annuity commencement date used in your policy and the dates will be the same. However, in certain circumstances, your annuity starting date and annuity commencement date will not be the same date. If there is a conflict between the definitions, we will interpret and apply the definitions in order to ensure your policy maintains its status as an annuity policy for federal income tax purposes. You may wish to consult a tax adviser for more information on when this issue may arise.
It is possible that at certain advanced ages a policy might no longer be treated as an annuity contract if the policy has not been annuitized before that age or have other tax consequences. You should consult with a tax adviser about the tax consequences in such circumstances.
Taxation of Annuity Payments
Although the tax consequences may vary depending on the annuity payment option you select, in general, for nonqualified and certain qualified policies, only a portion of the annuity payments you receive will be includable in your gross income.
In general, the excludable portion of each annuity payment you receive will be determined as follows:
Fixed payments-by dividing the “investment in the policy” on the annuity starting date by the total expected return under the policy (determined under Treasury regulations) for the term of the payments. This is the percentage of each annuity payment that is excludable.
Variable payments-by dividing the “investment in the policy” on the annuity starting date by the total number of expected periodic payments. This is the amount of each annuity payment that is excludable.
The remainder of each annuity payment is includable in gross income. Once the “investment in the policy” has been fully recovered, the full amount of any additional annuity payments is includable in gross income and taxed as ordinary income. The “investment in the policy” is generally equal to the premiums you pay for the policy, reduced by any amounts you have previously received from the policy that are excludible from gross income.
If you select more than one annuity payment option, special rules govern the allocation of the policy's entire “investment in the policy” to each such option, for purposes of determining the excludable amount of each payment received under that option. We advise you to consult a competent tax adviser as to the potential tax effects of allocating amounts to any particular annuity payment option.
28

If, after the annuity starting date, annuity payments stop because an annuitant died, the excess (if any) of the “investment in the policy” as of the annuity starting date over the aggregate amount of annuity payments received that was excluded from gross income may possibly be allowable as a deduction on your tax return.
Taxation of Surrenders and Partial Withdrawals - Nonqualified Policies
When you surrender your policy, you are generally taxed on the amount that your surrender proceeds exceeds the “investment in the policy”. The “investment in the policy” is generally equal to the premiums you pay for the policy, reduced by any amounts you have previously received from the policy that are excludible from gross income. Partial withdrawals are generally treated first as taxable income to the extent of the excess in the policy value over the “investment in the policy.” Distributions made under the systematic payout option are treated for tax purposes as partial withdrawal, not annuity payments. In general, loans, pledges, and collateral assignments as security for a loan are taxed in the same manner as partial withdrawals and surrenders. You may also be subject to current taxation if you make a gift of a nonqualified policy without valuable consideration. All taxable amounts received under a policy are subject to tax at ordinary rather than capital gain tax rates.
If your policy contains an excess interest adjustment feature (also known as a market value adjustment), then your policy value immediately before a policy withdrawal (or transaction taxed like a withdrawal) may have to be increased by any positive excess interest adjustments that result from the transaction. There is, however, no definitive guidance on the proper tax treatment of excess interest adjustments, and you may want to discuss the potential tax consequences of an excess interest adjustment with your tax adviser.
The Code also provides that amounts received from the policy that are includible in gross income (including the taxable portion of some annuity payments) may be subject to a penalty tax. The amount of the penalty tax is equal to 10% of the amount that is includable in income. Some surrender withdrawals and other amounts will be exempt from the penalty tax. Amounts received that are not subject to the penalty tax include, among others, any amounts: (1) paid on or after the taxpayer reaches age 59½; (2) paid after an owner (or where the owner is a non-natural person, an annuitant) dies; (3) paid if the taxpayer becomes disabled (as that term is defined in the Code); (4) paid in a series of substantially equal payments made annually (or more frequently) over the life of the taxpayer or the joint life of the taxpayer and the taxpayer's designated beneficiary; (5) paid under an immediate annuity; or (6) which come from premium payments made prior to August 14, 1982. Regarding the disability exception, because we cannot verify that the owner is disabled, we will report such withdrawals to the IRS as early withdrawals with no known exception from the penalty tax.
Other exceptions may be applicable under certain circumstances and special rules may be applicable in connection with the exceptions enumerated above. You may wish to consult a tax adviser for more information regarding the imposition of penalty tax.
Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefits
For policies with a guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit or a guaranteed maximum accumulation benefit the application of certain tax rules, particularly those rules relating to distributions from your policy, are not entirely clear. It is possible that the withdrawal base (with respect to the guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefits) and the guaranteed future value (with respect to the guaranteed maximum accumulation benefit) could be taken into account to determine the policy value that is used to calculate the amount of the distribution that would be included in income. The proper treatment of the Income Enhancement Option under a guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit is unclear. It is possible that the IRS could determine that the benefit provides some form of long term care insurance. In that event, (1) you could be treated as in receipt of some amount of income attributable to the value of the benefit even though you have not received a payment from your policy, and (2) the amount of income attributable to guaranteed lifetime withdrawal payments could be affected. In view of this uncertainty, you should consult a tax adviser with any questions.
Aggregation
All nonqualified deferred annuity policies that are issued by us (or our affiliates) to the same owner (policyholder) during any calendar year are treated as one annuity for purposes of determining the amount includable in the owner's income when a taxable distribution (other than annuity payments) occurs. If you are considering purchasing multiple policies from us (or our affiliates) during the same calendar year, you may wish to consult with your tax adviser regarding how aggregation will apply to your policies.
Tax-Free Exchanges of Nonqualified Policies
We may issue the nonqualified policy in exchange for all or part of another annuity contract that you own. Such an exchange will be tax free if certain requirements are satisfied. If the exchange is tax free, your investment in the policy immediately after the exchange will generally be the same as that of the annuity contract exchanged, increased by any additional premium payment made as part of
29

the exchange. Your policy value immediately after the exchange may exceed your investment in the policy. That excess may be includable in income should amounts subsequently be withdrawn or distributed from the policy (e.g., as a partial withdrawal, surrender, annuity income payment or death benefit).
If you exchange part of an existing contract for the policy, and within 180 days of the exchange you received a payment other than certain annuity payments (e.g., you make a partial withdrawal) from either contract, the exchange may not be treated as a tax free exchange. Rather, some or all of the amount exchanged into the policy could be includible in your income and subject to a 10% penalty tax.
You should consult your tax adviser in connection with an exchange of all or part of an annuity contract for the policy, especially if you may make a withdrawal from either contract within 180 days after the exchange.
Medicare Tax
Distributions from nonqualified annuity policies are considered “investment income” for purposes of the 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, trusts, and estates whose income exceeds certain threshold amounts. We are required to report distributions made from nonqualified annuity policies as being potentially subject to this tax. While distributions from qualified policies are not subject to the tax, such distributions may be includable in income for purposes of determining whether certain Medicare Tax thresholds have been met. As such, distributions from your qualified policy could cause your other investment income to be subject to the tax. Please consult a tax adviser for more information.
Same Sex Relationships
Section 3 of the Federal Defense of Marriage Act was ruled unconstitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court. The Internal Revenue Service adopted a rule in response thereto recognizing the marriage of same sex individuals validly entered into in a jurisdiction that authorizes same sex marriages, even if the individuals are domiciled in a jurisdiction that does not recognize the marriage. The Internal Revenue Service also ruled that the term “spouse” does not include an individual who has entered into a registered domestic partnership, civil union, or other similar relationship that is not denominated as a marriage under the laws of that jurisdiction. We intend to administer the policy consistent with these rulings until further guidance is provided. Therefore, exercise of the spousal continuation provisions of this policy or any riders by persons who do not meet the definition of “spouse” under federal law e.g., domestic and civil union partners may have adverse tax consequences and/or may not be permissible.
Please note the jurisdiction where you are domiciled may not recognize same sex marriage which may limit your ability to take advantage of certain benefits provided to spouses under the policy. There are several unanswered questions regarding the scope and impact of the Supreme Court’s decision and the subsequent guidance provided by the Internal Revenue Service. Please consult a tax adviser for more information on this subject.
Taxation of Death Benefit Proceeds
Amounts may be distributed from the policy because of your death or the death of the annuitant. Generally, such amounts should be includable in the income of the recipient: (1) if distributed in a lump sum, these amounts are taxed in the same manner as a surrender; (2) if distributed via partial withdrawals, these amounts are taxed in the same manner as partial surrenders; or (3) if distributed under an annuity payment option, these amounts are taxed in the same manner as annuity payments.
Transfers, Assignments or Exchanges of Policies
A transfer of ownership or assignment of a policy, the designation of an annuitant or payee or other beneficiary who is not also the owner, the exchange of a policy and certain other transactions, or a change of annuitant other than the owner, may result in certain income or gift tax consequences to the owner that are beyond the scope of this discussion. An owner contemplating any such transaction or designation should contact a competent tax adviser with respect to the potential tax effects.
Charges
It is possible that the IRS may take a position that fees for certain optional benefits (e.g., death benefits other than the Return of Premium death benefit) are deemed to be taxable distributions to you. In particular, the IRS may treat fees associated with certain optional benefits as a taxable partial withdrawal, which might also be subject to a tax penalty if the partial withdrawal occurs prior to age 59½. Although we do not believe that the fees associated with any optional benefit provided under the policy should be treated as taxable partial withdrawal, the tax rules associated with these benefits are unclear, and we advise that you consult your tax adviser prior to selecting any optional benefit under the policy.

Federal Estate, Gift and Generation-Skipping Transfer Taxes
Beginning in 2013, the federal estate tax, gift tax and generation-skipping transfer (“GST”) tax exemptions and maximum rates are $5,000,000 indexed for inflation and 40% respectively.
The uncertainty as to how the current law might be modified in the future underscores the importance of seeking guidance from a competent adviser to help ensure that your estate plan adequately addresses your needs and that of your beneficiaries under all possible scenarios.
Federal Estate Taxes. While no attempt is being made to discuss the Federal estate tax implications of the policy in detail, a purchaser should keep in mind that the value of an annuity policy 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 policy, 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. Consult an estate planning adviser 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 policy 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 policy, or from any applicable payment, and pay it directly to the IRS.
Qualified Policies
The qualified policy is designed for use with several types of tax-qualified retirement plans which are briefly described below. The tax rules applicable to participants and beneficiaries in tax-qualified retirement plans vary according to the type of plan and the terms and conditions of the plan. Special favorable tax treatment may be available for certain types of contributions and distributions. Adverse tax consequences may result from contributions in excess of specified limits, distributions prior to age 59½ (subject to certain exceptions), distributions that do not conform to specified commencement and minimum distribution rules, and in other specified circumstances. The distribution rules under Section 72(s) of the Code do not apply to annuities provided under a plan described in Sections 401(a), 403(a), 403(b), 408 or 408A of the Code, but other similar rules may. Some retirement plans are subject to distribution and other requirements that are not incorporated into the policies or our policy administration procedures. Owners, employers, participants, and beneficiaries are responsible for determining that contributions, distributions, and other transactions with respect to the policies comply with applicable law.
Traditional Individual Retirement Annuities. In order to qualify as a traditional individual retirement annuity under Section 408(b) of the Code, a policy must satisfy certain conditions: (i) the owner must be the annuitant; (ii) the policy generally is not transferable by the owner, e.g., the owner may not designate a new owner, designate a contingent owner or assign the policy as collateral security; (iii) subject to special rules, the total premium payments for any calendar year may not exceed the amount specified in the Code for the year, except in the case of a rollover amount or contribution under Section 402(c), 402(e)(6), 403(a)(4), 403(b)(8), 403(b)(10), 408(d)(3) or 457(e)(16) of the Code; (iv) annuity payments or partial surrenders according to the requirements in the IRS regulations (minimum required distributions) must begin no later than April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the annuitant attains age 70½; (v) an annuity payment option with a period certain that will guarantee annuity payments beyond the life expectancy of the annuitant and the beneficiary may not be selected; (vi) certain payments of death benefits must be made in the event the annuitant dies prior to the distribution of the policy value; (vii) the entire interest of the owner is non-forfeitable; and (viii) the premiums must not be fixed. Policies intended to qualify as traditional individual retirement annuities under Section 408(b) of the Code contain such provisions. Amounts in the individual retirement annuity (other than nondeductible contributions) generally are taxed only when distributed from the annuity. Distributions prior to age 59½ (unless certain exceptions apply) are subject to a 10% penalty tax.
SIMPLE and SEP IRAs are types of IRAs that allow employers to contribute to IRAs on behalf of their employees. SIMPLE IRAs permit certain small employers to establish SIMPLE plans as provided by section 408(p) of the Code, under which employees may elect to defer to a SIMPLE IRA a specified percentage of compensation. The sponsoring employer is required to make matching or non-elective contributions on behalf of employees. Distributions from SIMPLE IRAs are subject to the same restrictions that apply to IRA distributions. Subject to certain exceptions, distributions prior to age 59½ are subject to a 10 percent penalty tax, which is increased to 25 percent if the distribution occurs within the first two years after the commencement of the employee's participation in the plan. SEP IRAs permit employers to make contributions to IRAs on behalf of their employees, up to a specified dollar amount for the year and subject to certain eligibility requirements as provided by Section 408(k) of the Code. Distributions from SEP IRAs are subject to the same rules that apply to IRA distributions and are taxed as ordinary income.
The IRS has not reviewed this policy for qualification as a traditional IRA, SIMPLE IRA or SEP IRA, and has not addressed in a ruling of general applicability whether any death benefits available under the policy comport with qualification requirements.
31

Roth Individual Retirement Annuities (Roth IRA). The Roth IRA, under Section 408A of the Code, contains many of the same provisions as a traditional IRA. However, there are some differences. First, the contributions are not deductible and must be made in cash or as a rollover or transfer from another Roth IRA, a traditional IRA or other allowed qualified plan. A rollover from or conversion of an IRA to a Roth IRA may be subject to tax. The ability to make cash contributions to Roth IRAs is available to individuals with earned income and whose modified adjusted gross income is under a specified dollar amount for the year. Subject to special rules, the amount per individual that may be contributed to all IRAs (Roth and traditional) is an amount specified in the Code for the year. Secondly, the distributions are taxed differently. The Roth IRA offers tax-free distributions when made 5 tax years after the first contribution to any Roth IRA of the individual and made after one of the following: attaining age 59½, to pay for qualified first time home buyer expenses (lifetime maximum of $10,000), or due to death or disability. All other distributions are subject to income tax when made from earnings and may be subject to a penalty tax unless an exception applies. Please note that specific tax ordering rules apply to Roth IRA distributions. Unlike the traditional IRA, there are no minimum required distributions during the owner's lifetime; however, minimum required distributions at death are generally the same as for traditional IRAs.
The IRS has not reviewed this policy for qualification as a ROTH IRA, and has not addressed in a ruling of general applicability whether any death benefits available under the policy comport with qualification requirements.
Section 403(b) Plans. Under Section 403(b) of the Code, payments made by public school systems and certain tax exempt organizations to purchase policies for their employees are generally excludable from the gross income of the employee, subject to certain limitations. However, such payments may be subject to Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA or Social Security) taxes. The policy includes a death benefit that in some cases may exceed the greater of the premium payments or the policy value. Additionally, in accordance with the requirements of the Code, Section 403(b) annuities generally may not permit distribution of (i) elective contributions made in years beginning after December 31, 1988, and (ii) earnings on those contributions, and (iii) earnings on amounts attributed to elective contributions held as of the end of the last year beginning before January 1, 1989, unless certain events have occurred. Specifically distributions of such amounts will be allowed only upon the death of the employee, on or after attainment of age 59½, severance from employment, disability, or financial hardship, except that income attributable to elective contributions may not be distributed in the case of hardship. These rules may prevent the payment of guaranteed withdrawals under a guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit prior to age 59½. For policies issued after 2008, amounts attributable to non-elective contributions may be subject to distribution restrictions specified in the employer's section 403(b) plan. Employers using the policy in connection with Section 403(b) plans may wish to consult with their tax adviser.
Pursuant to tax regulations, we generally are required to confirm, with your 403(b) plan sponsor or otherwise, that surrenders, loans or transfers you request from a 403(b) policy comply with applicable tax requirements before we process your request. We will defer such payments you request until all information required under the tax law has been received. By requesting a surrender or transfer, you consent to the sharing of confidential information about you, the policy, and transactions under the policy and any other 403(b) policies or accounts you have under the 403(b) plan among us, your employer or plan sponsor, any plan administrator or record keeper, and other product providers.
Pension and Profit-Sharing Plans. Sections 401(a) and 403(a) of the Code permit employers to establish various types of retirement plans for employees and self-employed individuals to establish qualified plans for themselves and their employees. Such retirement plans may permit the purchase of the policies to accumulate retirement savings. Adverse tax consequences to the plan, the participant or both may result if the policy is assigned or transferred to any individual as a means to provide benefit payments. Contributions to and distributions from such plans are limited by the Code and may be subject to penalties.
Deferred Compensation Plans. Section 457(b) of the Code, while not actually providing for a qualified plan as that term is normally used, provides for certain deferred compensation plans established and maintained by state and local governments (and their agencies and instrumentalities) and tax exempt organizations. Under such plans a participant may be able to specify the form of investment in which his or her participation will be made. For non-governmental Section 457(b) plans, all such investments, however, are typically owned by, and are subject to, the claims of the general creditors of the sponsoring employer. Depending on the terms of the particular plan, a non-government employer may be entitled to draw on deferred amounts for purposes unrelated to its Section 457(b) plan obligations. In general, all amounts received under a non-governmental Section 457 plan are taxable in the year paid (or in the year paid or made available in the case of a non-governmental 457(b) plan). Distributions from non-governmental 457(b) plans are subject to federal income tax withholding as wages, distributions from governmental 457(b) plans are subject to withholding as “eligible rollover distributions” as described in the section entitled “Withholding.” below. Contributions to and distributions from such plans are limited by the Code and may be subject to penalties. Deferred compensation plans of governments and tax-exempt entities that do not meet the requirements of Section 457(b) are taxed under Section 457(f), which means compensation deferred under the plan is included in gross income in the first year in which the compensation is not subject to substantial risk of forfeiture.
32

Ineligible Owners-Qualified
We currently will not issue new policies to/or for the following plans: 403(a), 403(b), 412(i)/412(e)(3), 419, 457 (we will in certain limited circumstances accept 457(f) plans), employee stock ownership plans, Keogh/H.R.-10 plans and any other types of plans at our sole discretion.
Taxation of Surrenders and Partial Withdrawals - Qualified Policies
In the case of a withdrawal under a qualified policy (other than from a deferred compensation plan under Section 457 of the Code), a pro rata portion of the amount you receive is taxable, generally based on the ratio of your “investment in the policy” to your total account balance or accrued benefit under the retirement plan. Your “investment in the policy” generally equals the amount of any non-deductible premium payments made by you or on your behalf. If you do not have any non-deductible premium payments, your investment in the contract will be treated as zero.
In addition, a penalty tax may be assessed on amounts surrendered from the policy prior to the date you reach age 59½, unless you meet one of the exceptions to this rule which are similar to the penalty exceptions for distributions from nonqualified policies discussed above. However, the exceptions applicable for qualified policies differ from those provided to nonqualified policies. You may wish to consult a tax adviser for more information regarding the application of these exceptions to your circumstances. You may also be required to begin taking minimum distributions from the policy by a certain date. The terms of the plan may limit the rights otherwise available to you under the policy.
Qualified Plan Required Distributions
For qualified plans under Section 401(a), 403(a), 403(b), and 457, the Code requires that distributions generally must commence no later than the later of April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the owner (or plan participant) (i) reaches age 70½ or (ii) retires, and must be made in a specified form or manner. If a participant is a “5 percent owner” (as defined in the Code), or in the case of an IRA (other than a Roth IRA which is not subject to the lifetime required minimum distribution rules), distributions generally must begin no later than April 1 of the year following the calendar year in which the owner (or plan participant) reaches age 70½. The actuarial present value of death and/or living benefit options and riders elected may need to be taken into account in calculating minimum required distributions. Consult a competent tax adviser before purchasing an optional living or death benefit.
Each owner is responsible for requesting distributions under the policy that satisfy applicable tax rules. We do not attempt to provide more than general information about the use of the policy with the various types of retirement plans. Purchasers of policies for use with any retirement plan should consult their legal counsel and tax adviser regarding the suitability of the policy.
The Code generally requires that interest in a qualified policy be non-forfeitable. If your policy contains a bonus rider with a recapture, forfeiture, or “vesting” feature, it may not be consistent with those requirements. Consult a tax adviser before purchasing a bonus rider as part of a qualified policy.
You should consult your legal counsel or tax adviser if you are considering purchasing an enhanced death benefit or other optional rider, or if you are considering purchasing a policy for use with any qualified retirement plan or arrangement.
Optional Living Benefits
For policies with a guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit or a guaranteed maximum accumulation benefit the application of certain tax rules, particularly those rules relating to distributions from your policy, are not entirely clear. The tax rules for qualified policies may impact the value of these optional benefits. Additionally, the actions of the qualified plan as contract holder may cause the qualified plan participant to lose the benefit of the guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit. In view of this uncertainty, you should consult a tax adviser before purchasing this policy as a qualified policy.
Withholding
The portion of any distribution under a policy that is includable in gross income will be subject to federal income tax withholding unless the recipient of such distribution elects not to have federal income tax withheld. Election forms will be provided at the time distributions are requested or made. The amount of withholding varies according to the type of distribution. The withholding rates applicable to the taxable portion of periodic payments (other than eligible rollover distributions) are the same as the withholding rates generally applicable to payments of wages. A 10% withholding rate applies to the taxable portion of non-periodic payments. Regardless of whether you elect not to have federal income tax withheld, you are still liable for payment of federal income tax on the taxable portion of the payment. For qualified policies taxable, “eligible rollover distributions” from Section 401(a) plans, Section 403(a) annuities, Section 403(b) tax-sheltered annuities, and governmental 457 plans are subject to a mandatory federal income tax
33

withholding of 20%. An eligible rollover distribution is any distribution from such a plan, other than specified distributions such as distributions required by the Code, distributions in a specified annuity form or hardship distributions. The 20% withholding does not apply, however, to nontaxable distributions or if (i) the employee (or employee's spouse or former spouse as beneficiary or alternate payee) chooses a “direct rollover” from the plan to a tax-qualified plan, IRA, Roth IRA or 403(b) tax-sheltered annuity or to a governmental 457 plan that agrees to separately account for rollover contributions; or (ii) a non-spouse beneficiary chooses a “direct rollover” from the plan to an IRA established by the direct rollover.
Annuity Purchases by Residents of Puerto Rico
The IRS has announced that income received by residents of Puerto Rico under life insurance or annuity policies 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 Policies Purchased by Non-resident Aliens and Foreign Corporations
The discussion above provided general information (but not tax advice) regarding U.S. federal income tax consequences to annuity owners that are U.S. persons. Taxable distributions made to owners who are not U.S. persons will generally be subject to U.S. federal income tax withholding at a 30% rate, unless a lower treaty rate applies. In addition, distributions may be subject to state and/or municipal taxes and taxes that may be imposed by the owner's country of citizenship or residence. Prospective foreign owners are advised to consult with a qualified tax adviser regarding U.S., state, and foreign taxation for any annuity policy purchase.
Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”)
If the payee of a distribution from the policy is a foreign financial institution (“FFI”) or a non-financial foreign entity (“NFFE”) within the meaning of the Code as amended by the Foreign Account tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”), the distribution could be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax on the taxable amount of the distribution at a 30% rate irrespective of the status of any beneficial owner of the policy or the distribution. The rules relating to FATCA are complex, and a tax adviser should be consulted if an FFI or NFFE is or may be designated as a payee with respect to the policy.
Possible Tax Law Changes
Although the likelihood of legislative or regulatory changes is uncertain, there is always the possibility that the tax treatment of the policy could change by legislation, regulation, or otherwise. You should consult a tax adviser with respect to legal or regulatory developments and their effect on the policy.
We have the right to modify the policy to meet the requirements of any applicable laws or regulations, including legislative changes that could otherwise diminish the favorable tax treatment that annuity owners currently receive.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES
Systematic Payout Option
You can select at any time during the accumulation phase to receive regular withdrawals from your policy by using the systematic payout option. Any systematic withdrawal in excess of the cumulative interest credited from the guaranteed period options at the time of the withdrawal may be subject to an excess interest adjustment. Any systematic withdrawal in excess of your remaining surrender charge free amount may be subject to a surrender charge. Any systematic withdrawal in excess of the remaining rider withdrawal amount could affect your rider values (if elected). Systematic withdrawals can be made monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually. Each withdrawal must be at least $50. Monthly and quarterly systematic withdrawals must generally be made by electronic funds transfer directly to your checking or savings account. There is no charge for this benefit.
Keep in mind that withdrawals under the systematic payout option may be taxable, and if made before age 59½, may be subject to a 10% federal penalty tax.
Liquidity Rider
The optional Liquidity Rider (only available with the B-Share) reduces the number of years each premium payment is subject to surrender charges. You can only elect this rider at the time you purchase the policy.
Surrender Charge Schedule. The Liquidity Rider reduces the number of years each premium payment is subject to surrender charges from seven years to four years. The surrender charge will remain unchanged from that of the B-Share for the first four years.
34

Rider Fee. There is an additional charge for this rider which is a percentage of the daily net asset value in the separate account which is deducted in calculating the accumulation unit values. The rider fee is only charged for the first four policy years.
Accumulation Unit Values. We intend to administer the removal of the Liquidity Rider fee by changing to a different class of accumulation units. This will result in adjusting the number of accumulation units and adjusting the unit value of the subaccounts in which you were invested once the Liquidity Rider fee is no longer charged. The elimination of the fee and the adjustment in the number of accumulation units and unit values will not affect policy values.
Termination. The rider is irrevocable.
Please note:
This feature terminates upon annuitization and there is a mandatory annuity commencement date.
We may credit interest in the fixed account (if available) at a lower rate if you select this rider.
The Liquidity Rider may vary for certain policies and may not be available for all policies, in all states, at all times or through all financial intermediaries. We may discontinue offering this benefit at any time. In some cases, a benefit not available through a financial intermediary may be obtained by contacting us directly. For more information on the options available for electing a benefit, please contact your financial intermediary or our Administrative Office.
Additional Death Distribution
The optional Additional Death Distribution rider pays an additional amount (based on rider earnings, if any, since the rider was issued) when a death benefit is payable during the accumulation phase under your policy, in certain circumstances. The Additional Death Distribution is only available for issue ages through age 80. The Additional Death Distribution is only available with the Return of Premium Death Benefit or the Annual Step-Up Death Benefit. Please Note: This rider may not be issued or added to Inherited IRAs (sometimes also referred to as beneficiary IRAs) or a nonqualified annuity under which death benefits are being distributed under a stretch withdrawal option. The Additional Death Distribution benefit is based on our claims-paying ability.
Additional Death Distribution Benefit Amount. The Additional Death Distribution is payable only if you elected the rider prior to the death triggering the payment of the policy death benefit and a death benefit is payable under the policy. The Additional Death Distribution is equal to:
the Additional Death Distribution factor (see below); multiplied by
the rider earnings, if any, on the date the death benefit is calculated.
Rider earnings are policy gains accrued and not previously withdrawn since the rider date. This amount is equal to the current policy value minus the policy value on the rider date minus premiums paid after the rider date plus amounts withdrawn after the rider date that exceed rider earnings on the date of the withdrawal. No benefit is payable under the Additional Death Distribution rider if there are no rider earnings on the date the death benefit is calculated.
If you purchase your policy as part of a 1035 exchange or add the Additional Death Distribution rider after you purchase the policy, rider earnings do not include any gains before the 1035 exchange or the date the Additional Death Distribution is added to your policy.
The Additional Death Distribution factor is 40% for issue ages under 71 and 25% for issue ages 71-80, based on the annuitant’s age.
No benefit is paid under the rider unless (a) the rider is in force, (b) a death benefit is payable on the policy, and (c) there are rider earnings when the death benefit is calculated.
For purposes of computing taxable gains, both the death benefit payable under the policy and the Additional Death Distribution will be considered.
Please see “Appendix - Additional Death Distribution Rider” for an example which illustrates the Additional Death Distribution payable as well as the effect of a partial surrender on the Additional Death Distribution benefit amount.
Spousal Continuation. If a spouse is eligible to and elects to continue the policy as the new owner instead of receiving a death benefit and Additional Death Distribution, the spouse will generally receive a one-time policy value increase equal to the Additional Death Distribution. At this time the rider will terminate. The spouse will have the option of immediately re-electing the rider through age 80 if the Additional Death Distribution benefit is still being offered. Certain owners may have the option to continue the rider without receiving the one-time policy value increase. See TAX INFORMATION - Tax Status of a Nonqualified Policy - Distribution Requirements. (The payment of a death benefit under the policy is triggered by the death of the annuitant.)
35

Rider Fee. There is an additional charge for this rider which is a percentage of the policy value which is deducted annually on each rider anniversary prior to annuitization. We will also deduct this fee upon full surrender of the policy or other termination of the rider. The rider fee is deducted pro rata from each investment option. The fee is deducted even during periods when the Additional Death Distribution would not pay any benefit (because there are no rider earnings).
Termination. The rider will remain in effect until:
you cancel it by notifying our Administrative Office in writing,
the policy is annuitized or surrendered,
the policy value becomes zero, or
the Additional Death Distribution is paid or added to the policy value under a spousal continuation.
Once terminated, the Additional Death Distribution may be re-elected if still being offered; however, a new rider will be issued and the additional death benefit will be re-determined. Please note that if the rider is terminated and then re-elected, it will only cover gains, if any, since it was re-elected and the terms of the new rider may be different than the terminated rider.
Please note: This feature terminates upon annuitization and there is a maximum annuity commencement date.
The Additional Death Distribution may vary for certain policies and may not be available for all policies, in all states, at all times or through all financial intermediaries. We may discontinue offering this benefit at any time. In some cases, a benefit not available through a financial intermediary may be obtained by contacting us directly. For more information on the options available for electing a benefit, please contact your financial intermediary or our Administrative Office.
Additional Death Distribution+
The optional Additional Death Distribution+ rider pays an additional amount (based on the benefit base) when a death benefit is payable during the accumulation phase under your policy, in certain circumstances. The Additional Death Distribution+ is only available for issue ages through age 75. The Additional Death Distribution + is only available with the Return of Premium Death Benefit or the Annual Step-Up Death Benefit. Please Note: This rider may not be issued or added to Inherited IRAs (sometimes also referred to as beneficiary IRAs) or a nonqualified annuity under which death benefits are being distributed under a stretch withdrawal option. The Additional Death Distribution+ benefit is based on our claims-paying ability.
Additional Death Distribution+ Benefit Amount. An additional death benefit is only payable if a death benefit is paid on the base policy to which the rider is attached. The amount of the additional benefit is dependent on the amount of time that has passed since the rider date as follows:
If a death benefit is payable within the first five years after the rider date, the additional benefit amount will be equal to the sum of all Additional Death Distribution+ rider fees paid since the rider date.
If a death benefit is payable after five years following the rider date, the additional benefit will be equal to the rider benefit base multiplied by the rider benefit percentage.
The rider benefit base at any time is equal to the policy value less any premium payments added after the rider date.
The rider benefit percentage may vary but equals 30% for issue ages 0 - 70 and 20% for issue ages 71 - 75, based on the annuitant’s age.
No benefit is payable under the Additional Death Distribution+ if the policy value on the date the death benefit is paid is less than the premium payments after the rider date.
For purposes of computing taxable gains, both the death benefit payable under the policy and the additional benefit will be considered.
Please see “Appendix - Additional Death Distribution+” for an example that illustrates the additional death benefit payable as well as the effect of a partial surrender on the Additional Death Distribution+ benefit amount.
Spousal Continuation. If a spouse is eligible to and elects to continue the policy as the new owner instead of receiving the death benefit and Additional Death Distribution+, then the spouse will generally receive a one-time policy value increase equal to the Additional Death Distribution+. At this time the rider will terminate. The spouse will have the option of immediately re-electing the rider through age 75 if the Additional Death Distribution+ benefit is still being offered. Certain owners may have the option to continue the rider without receiving the one-time policy value increase. See TAX INFORMATION - Tax Status of a Nonqualified Policy - Distribution Requirements. (The payment of a death benefit under the policy is triggered by the death of the annuitant.)
36

Rider Fee. There is an additional charge for this rider which is a percentage of the policy value which, is deducted annually on each rider anniversary prior to annuitization. We will also deduct this fee upon full surrender of the policy or other termination of the rider.
Please note: The rider fee is deducted pro rata from each investment option. The fee is deducted even during periods when the rider would not pay any benefits.
Termination. The rider will remain in effect until:
you cancel it by notifying our Administrative Office in writing in good order,
the policy is annuitized or surrendered,
the policy value becomes zero, or
the additional death benefit is paid or added to the policy value under a spousal continuation.
If terminated no more than 90 days after policy issue, you may re-elect the Additional Death Distribution+ if it is still being offered, immediately. However, if it is terminated more than 90 days after the policy issue date, the Additional Death Distribution+ may not be re-elected, if it is still being offered, for one year. Please note that if the rider is terminated and then re-elected, the new rider will have its own fees, benefits and features as well as a new rider date which may affect the rider benefit.
Please note: This feature terminates upon annuitization and there is a maximum annuity commencement date.
The Additional Death Distribution+ may vary for certain policies and may not be available for all policies, in all states, at all times or through all financial intermediaries. We may discontinue offering this benefit at any time. In some cases, a benefit not available through a financial intermediary may be obtained by contacting us directly. For more information on the options available for electing a benefit, please contact your financial intermediary or our Administrative Office.
Nursing Care and Terminal Condition Waiver
No surrender charges or excess interest adjustments will apply if you make a surrender ($1,000 minimum), under certain circumstances, because you or your spouse has been:
confined in a hospital or nursing facility for 30 days in a row after the policy issue date; or
diagnosed with a terminal condition after the policy issue date (usually a life expectancy of 12 months or less).
You may exercise this benefit at any time during the accumulation phase. This benefit is also available to the annuitant or annuitant's spouse if the owner is not a natural person. There is no restriction on the maximum amount you may surrender under this benefit. There is no charge for this benefit.
The Nursing Care and Terminal Condition Waiver may vary for certain policies and may not be available for all policies, in all states or at all times.
Unemployment Waiver
No surrender charges or excess interest adjustments will apply to surrenders after you or your spouse become unemployed in certain circumstances (e.g., because you were terminated, laid off, or otherwise lost your job involuntarily). In order to qualify, you (or your spouse, whichever is applicable) must have been:
employed full time for at least two years prior to becoming unemployed;
employed full time on the policy date;
unemployed for at least 60 days in a row at the time of surrender;
must have a minimum cash value at the time of surrender of $5,000; and
you (or your spouse) must be receiving unemployment benefits.
You must provide written proof from your State's Department of Labor, which verifies that you qualify for and are receiving unemployment benefits at the time of surrender.
You may use this benefit at any time during the accumulation phase. This benefit is also available to the annuitant or annuitant's spouse if the owner is not a natural person. There is no restriction on the maximum amount you may surrender under this benefit. There is no charge for this benefit.
The Unemployment Waiver may vary for certain policies and may not be available for all policies, in all states or at all times.

Telephone and Electronic Transactions
Currently, certain transactions may be made by telephone or other electronic means acceptable to us upon our receipt of the appropriate authorization. We may discontinue this option at any time. To access information and perform transactions electronically, we require you to create an account with a username and password, and to maintain a valid e-mail address.
We will not be liable for following instructions communicated by telephone or electronically we reasonably believe to be genuine. We will employ reasonable procedures to confirm that instructions we receive are genuine. Our procedures require you to provide information to verify your identity when you call us and we will record conversations with you. We may also require written confirmation of the request. When someone contacts our Administrative Office and follows our procedures, we will assume you are authorizing us to act upon those instructions. For electronic transactions through the internet, you will need to provide your username and password. You are responsible for keeping your password confidential and must notify us of any loss, theft or unauthorized use of your password.
Telephone and other electronic transactions must be received while the New York Stock Exchange is open for regular trading to get same-day pricing of the transaction. Please note that the telephone and/or electronic devices may not always be available. Any telephone, fax machine or other electronic device, whether it is yours, your service provider's, or your financial representative's can experience outages or slowdowns for a variety of reasons. These outages or slowdowns may delay or prevent our processing of your request if the volume of transactions is unusually high, we might not have anyone available, or lines available, to take your transaction. Although we have taken precautions to limit these problems, we cannot promise complete reliability under all circumstances. If you are experiencing problems, you should make your request by writing to our Administrative Office.
We reserve the right to revoke your telephone and other electronic transaction privileges at any time without revoking all owners' privileges. We may deny telephone and electronic transaction privileges to market timers or disruptive traders.
Dollar Cost Averaging Program
During the accumulation phase, you may instruct us to automatically make transfers into one or more variable subaccounts in accordance with your allocation instructions. This is known as Dollar Cost Averaging. While Dollar Cost Averaging buys more accumulation units when prices are low and fewer accumulation units when prices are high, it does not guarantee profits or assure that you will not experience a loss.
Dollar Cost Averaging programs that may be available under your policy:
TraditionalYou may specify the dollar amount to be transferred or the number of transfers. Transfers will begin as soon as the program is started. A minimum of $500 per transfer is required. The minimum number of transfers is 6 monthly transfers or 4 quarterly transfers, and the maximum is 24 monthly transfers or 8 quarterly transfers. You can elect to transfer from the fixed account, money market or other specified subaccount.
Special You may only elect either a six or twelve month program. Transfers will begin as soon as the program is started. You cannot transfer from another investment option into a Special Dollar Cost Averaging program. This program is only available for new premium payments, requires transfers from a fixed source, and may credit a higher or lower interest rate than a traditional program. A minimum of $500 per transfer is required ($3,000 or $6,000 to start a 6-month or 12-month program, respectively).
A Dollar Cost Averaging program will begin once we have received in good order all necessary information and the minimum required amount. See OTHER INFORMATION - Sending Forms and Transaction Requests in Good Order. Please note: Dollar Cost Averaging programs will not begin on the 29th, 30th, or 31st. If a program would have started on one of those dates, it will start on the 1st market day of the following month. If we receive additional premium payments while a Dollar Cost Averaging program is running, absent new instructions to the contrary, the amount of the Dollar Cost Averaging transfers will increase, but the length of the Dollar Cost Averaging program will not.
NOTE CAREFULLY:
New Dollar Cost averaging instructions are required to start a new Dollar Cost Averaging program once the previous Dollar Cost Averaging program has completed. Additional premium payments, absent new allocation instructions, received after a Dollar Cost Averaging program has completed, will be allocated according to the current premium payment allocations at that time but will not reactivate a completed Dollar Cost Averaging program.
38

IF:
we do not receive all necessary information to begin or restart a Dollar Cost Averaging program
THEN:
any amount allocated to a fixed source will be invested in that fixed source but will be transferred to the money market investment option within 30 days of allocation to fixed source if new Dollar Cost Averaging instructions are not received;
any amount allocated to a variable source will be invested in that variable source and will remain in that variable investment option; and
new Dollar Cost Averaging instructions will be required to begin a Dollar Cost Averaging program.
You should consider your ability to continue a Dollar Cost Averaging program during all economic conditions. Transfers from a Dollar Cost Averaging fixed source are not subject to an excess interest adjustment. A Dollar Cost Averaging program can be used in conjunction with Asset Rebalancing and a guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit (subject to any investment restrictions involving the source). There is no charge for this benefit.
The Dollar Cost Averaging Program may vary for certain policies and may not be available for all policies, in all states or at all times. See your policy for availability of the fixed account options.
Asset Rebalancing
During the accumulation phase you can instruct us to automatically rebalance the amounts in your subaccounts to maintain your desired asset allocation. This feature is called asset rebalancing and can be started and stopped at any time. If a transfer is requested, we will honor the requested transfer and discontinue asset rebalancing. New instructions are required to start asset rebalancing. Asset rebalancing ignores amounts in the fixed account. You can choose to rebalance monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually. Asset rebalancing can be used in conjunction with a guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit. Please note, any amounts rebalanced may be immediately transferred to the Portfolio Allocation Method (PAM) investment options as applicable under the Portfolio Allocation Method. There is no charge for this benefit.
Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefits
You may elect one of the following optional riders under the policy that offers guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefits - the Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider, the Retirement Income Max® Rider or the Retirement Income Choice® 1.6 Rider. Important aspects of each of these riders are summarized in the “Appendix - Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit Comparison Table” and are described in more detail below. You should consult with tax and financial professionals to determine which of these riders, if any, is appropriate for you.
The following benefit is no longer available, but if you have previously elected this rider you can still upgrade:
Income LinkSM Rider
See Rider Grid for additional information on this rider.
Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider
You may elect to purchase the optional Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider (also known as Living Benefits Rider) which provides you with a guaranteed minimum accumulation benefit and a guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit. The Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider is only available during the accumulation phase. The Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider is only available for annuitant issue ages through age 0-80. The maximum issue age may be lower if required by state law. The Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider is only available with the Return of Premium Death Benefit or the Annual Step-Up Death Benefit. Please Note: This rider may not be issued or added to Inherited IRAs (sometimes also referred to as beneficiary IRAs) or a nonqualified annuity under which death benefits are being distributed under a stretch withdrawal option. If you elect the Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider you cannot elect another GLWB. The guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit is based on our claims-paying ability.
You should view the Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider as a way to permit you to invest in variable investment options while still having your policy value and liquidity protected to the extent provided by the Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider.
Please note:
Certain protections under the rider are available only if you hold the rider for ten years.
39

If you elect the rider, we will monitor your policy value and we may transfer amounts back and forth between specified investment options under the policy (including guaranteed period options in the fixed account) and the variable investment options you choose, according to a mathematical model that we will use to assist us in managing portfolio risk and supporting the guarantees under the rider. See Portfolio Allocation Method below.
Any such transfers out of a guaranteed period option may be subject to an excess interest adjustment. (See Portfolio Allocation Method, below.)
You will begin paying the rider charge as of the date the rider takes effect, even if you do not begin taking withdrawals for many years, or ever. We will not refund the charges you have paid under the rider if you never choose to take withdrawals and/or if you never receive any payments under the rider.
We have designed this rider for you to take withdrawals each rider year that are less than or equal to the maximum annual withdrawal amount. You should not purchase this rider if you plan to take withdrawals in excess of the maximum annual withdrawal amount, because such excess withdrawals may significantly reduce or eliminate the value of the guarantees provided by the rider.
Because the guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit under this rider is accessed through regular withdrawals that do not exceed the maximum annual withdrawal amount, the rider may not be appropriate for you if you do not foresee a need for liquidity and your primary objective is to take the maximum advantage of the tax deferral aspect of the policy.
The tax rules for qualified policies may limit the value of this rider. Please consult a qualified tax adviser before electing the Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider for a qualified policy.
Guaranteed Minimum Accumulation Benefit of Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider
If you elect the Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider, we will provide a guaranteed future value. This benefit is intended to provide a level of protection regardless of the performance of the variable investment options you select.
Guaranteed Future Value. We guarantee that, on the guaranteed future value date (ten years after you elect the rider), your policy value will at least equal your guaranteed future value. The guaranteed future value on the rider date (i.e., the date the rider is added to the policy) is the policy value  (if X-Share is elected, less any premium enhancements if the rider is added in the first policy year). After the rider date and before the guaranteed future value date, the guaranteed future value is equal to:
the guaranteed future value on the rider date; plus
a percentage of subsequent premium payments (as described below); less
subsequent adjusted partial withdrawals (as described below).
After the guaranteed future value date, the guaranteed future value equals zero.
Subsequent Premium Payments. The percentage of subsequent premium payments that will be added to the guaranteed future value is as follows:
Rider Year   Percent of subsequent premium payments
added to guaranteed future value
1   100%
2   90%
3   80%
4   70%
5   60%
6   50%
7   50%
8   50%
9   50%
10   0%
40

Guaranteed Future Value Adjusted Partial Withdrawals. If you take a partial withdrawal, even withdrawals under the guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefits, it will reduce your guaranteed future value. The amount of the reduction is referred to as the adjusted partial withdrawal amount, which will be equal to the greater of:
the guaranteed future value immediately prior to the withdrawal multiplied by the percentage reduction in the policy value resulting from the gross partial withdrawal; or
the gross partial withdrawal amount.
(The gross partial withdrawal amount is the amount you request, plus any surrender charges or excess interest adjustment that may be applicable.)
In other words, if your policy value is greater than the guaranteed future value at the time you make a partial withdrawal, then your guaranteed future value is reduced by the same amount we reduce your policy value. However, if your policy value is less than the guaranteed future value at the time you make a partial withdrawal, then your guaranteed future value will be reduced by more than the amount we reduce your policy value.
See the “Appendix - Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider Adjusted Partial Withdrawals” to this prospectus for examples showing the effect of hypothetical withdrawals in more detail, including withdrawals that reduce the guaranteed future value by more than the amount of the gross partial withdrawal.
Guaranteed Minimum Accumulation Benefit. On the guaranteed future value date (ten years after you elect the rider), if the policy value is less than the guaranteed future value, we will add an amount equal to the difference to your policy value (the policy value will then be subject to investment risk). This addition will not increase your “principal back” or “for life” total withdrawal bases. After the guaranteed future value date, the guaranteed minimum accumulation benefit will terminate.
Example. Assume you make a single premium payment of $100,000 and you do not make any withdrawals or additional premium payments. If, on the guaranteed future value date, your policy value has declined to $90,000 because of negative investment performance, then we will add $10,000 ($100,000$90,000) to your policy value.
Please note: You do not have any protection under the guaranteed minimum accumulation benefit unless you hold the policy with the rider for ten years. If you think that you may terminate the policy or elect to start receiving annuity payments (or if you must begin taking required minimum distributions) before the guaranteed future value date, electing the rider may not be in your best interests.
Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit of Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider
If you elect the Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider, we will provide a maximum annual withdrawal amount (first as withdrawals from your policy value or, if necessary, as payments from us) regardless of your policy value. This benefit is intended to provide a level of benefits regardless of the performance of the variable investment options you select.
Withdrawal Guarantees. We account for the withdrawals you take under the rider by applying two different withdrawal guarantees:
“principal back,” for withdrawals of up to 7% of your total withdrawal base.
“for life,” for withdrawals of up to 5% of your total withdrawal base.
When you make a withdrawal, you do not need to specify it as being under either withdrawal guarantee. Any withdrawals that you take while the rider is in effect could have different impacts under each of the withdrawal guarantees - on your maximum annual withdrawal amount, on your total withdrawal base, and on your minimum remaining withdrawal amount. For example, withdrawals that are compliant with the “principal back” maximum withdrawal amount could result in excess withdrawals under the “for life” withdrawal guarantee and, consequently, would reduce the maximum annual withdrawal amount, the total withdrawal base, and the minimum remaining withdrawal amount under the “for life” withdrawal guarantee. (See Adjusted Partial Withdrawals below.)
Example: Assume you make a single premium payment of $100,000 and you have not made any withdrawals or additional premium payments. If you withdraw $6,000, that would be an excess withdrawal of $1,000 ($6,000 - $5,000) under the for life guarantee but not under the principal back guarantee.
Your ability to change the frequency or amount of your withdrawals ceases if your policy value reaches zero.
Of course, you can always withdraw an amount up to your cash value pursuant to your rights under the policy at your discretion. See “Appendix - Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider Adjusted Partial Withdrawals,” for examples showing the effect of hypothetical withdrawals in more detail, including an excess withdrawal that reduces the total withdrawal base by a pro rata amount.
41

Please note:
Any amount withdrawn in a rider year (including any surrender charge or excess interest adjustment) in excess of the maximum withdrawal amount is an excess withdrawal.
The amount of your excess withdrawal will impact the maximum annual withdrawal amount, total withdrawal base, and minimum remaining withdrawal amount under each guarantee and such impact may be on a greater than dollar-for-dollar basis. (See Maximum Annual Withdrawal Benefit, Total Withdrawal Base, and Minimum Remaining Withdrawal Amount, below.)
We will not refund charges that have been paid up to the point of terminating the policy or receiving annuity payments.
Withdrawals under the guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit also:
reduce your policy value;
reduce the guaranteed future value;
reduce your death benefit and other benefits;
may be subject to surrender charges or excess interest adjustments;
may be subject to income taxes and federal tax penalties (See TAX INFORMATION).
Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount. Under this benefit:
you can withdraw up to 7% of your “principal back” total withdrawal base each rider year until your “principal back” minimum remaining withdrawal amount reaches zero.
Example. Assume you make a single premium payment of $100,000 and that you do not make any withdrawals or additional premium payments. Assume that after five years, your policy value has declined to $70,000 solely because of negative investment performance. You could still receive up to $7,000 (7% of $100,000) each rider year for the next fourteen years and $2,000 in the year immediately thereafter so you would get back your full $100,000 (assuming that you do not withdraw more than $7,000 in any one rider year).
or, you can withdraw up to 5% of your “for life” total withdrawal base each rider year starting with the rider anniversary immediately following the annuitant's 59th birthday and lasting until the annuitant's death, unless your “for life” minimum remaining withdrawal amount reaches zero because of “excess withdrawals” (see Adjusted Partial Withdrawals, below). A penalty tax may be assessed on amounts surrendered from the policy before the taxpayer reaches age 59½.
Example. Assume you are the owner and annuitant and you make a single premium payment of $100,000 when you are 55 years old. Assume you do not make any withdrawals or additional premium payments. Assume that after five years, your policy value has declined to $70,000 solely because of negative investment performance. You could still receive up to $5,000 (5% of $100,000) each rider year for the rest of your life (assuming that you do not withdraw more than $5,000 in any one rider year).
You can receive up to the maximum annual withdrawal amount each rider year (first as withdrawals from your policy value and, if necessary, as payments from us) under this rider regardless of your policy value; however, once your policy value reaches zero you cannot make premium payments, and all other policy features, benefits, and guarantees (except those provided by this rider) are terminated. In order to continue withdrawals under this rider after your policy value reaches zero, you must select an amount (which cannot exceed the maximum annual withdrawal amount at that time) and frequency (annually, semi-annually, quarterly or monthly) of future withdrawals. Once selected, the amount and frequency of future withdrawals cannot be changed.
Please note:
Withdrawals under the 5% “for life” guarantee cannot begin until after the rider anniversary following the annuitant's 59th birthday.
Any withdrawal before the rider anniversary following the annuitant's 59th birthday will reduce the benefits under the 5% “for life” guarantee.
The maximum annual withdrawal amounts described above (the 7% “principal back” and 5% “for life”) are based on rider years, not calendar or policy years (if different from rider years).
You cannot carry over any portion of your maximum annual withdrawal amount that is not withdrawn during a rider year for withdrawal in a future rider year. This means that if you do not take the maximum annual withdrawal amount during a rider year, you cannot take more than the maximum annual withdrawal amount in the next rider year and maintain the rider's guarantees.
Excess withdrawals may cause you to lose the benefit of the rider.
If you have a qualified policy, minimum required distribution rules may force you to take excess withdrawals to avoid the imposition of a 50% penalty. Further, some qualified policies have withdrawal restrictions that may (with limited exceptions) prevent you from taking withdrawals before age 59½. You should consult a tax adviser before purchasing this rider with a qualified policy.
42

Total Withdrawal Base. We use the total withdrawal base to calculate the maximum annual withdrawal amount. The total withdrawal base on the rider date is the policy value  (if X-Share is elected, less any premium enhancements if the rider is added in the first policy year). After the rider date, the total withdrawal base is equal to:
the total withdrawal base on the rider date; plus
subsequent premium payments; less
subsequent adjusted partial withdrawals (as described below).
We will calculate separate total withdrawal bases for the “principal back” and “for life” guarantees.
Please note: We determine the total withdrawal base solely to calculate the maximum annual withdrawal amount. Your total withdrawal base is not a cash value, a surrender value, or a death benefit. It is not available for withdrawal, it is not a minimum return for any subaccount, and it is not a guarantee of policy value.
Minimum Remaining Withdrawal Amount. The minimum remaining withdrawal amount represents the total amount of guaranteed withdrawals still available under the rider. The minimum remaining withdrawal amount on the rider date is the policy value  (if X-Share is elected, less any premium enhancements if the rider is added in the first policy year). After the rider date, the minimum remaining withdrawal amount is equal to:
the minimum remaining withdrawal amount on the rider date; plus
subsequent premium payments; less
subsequent adjusted partial withdrawals (as described below).
We will calculate separate minimum remaining withdrawal amounts for the “principal back” and “for life” guarantees. It is important to calculate separate minimum remaining withdrawal amounts because they can provide different payment amounts not only upon reaching exhaustion but also in certain situations involving continuation after the annuitant's death.
Adjusted Partial Withdrawals. Each rider year, for each withdrawal guarantee (i.e., “principal back” and “for life”), gross partial withdrawals (the amount that you request be withdrawn, plus any surrender charge or excess interest adjustment that may be applicable) up to the maximum annual withdrawal amount for that withdrawal guarantee, will reduce the minimum remaining withdrawal amount for that withdrawal guarantee on a dollar-for-dollar basis, but will not reduce the total withdrawal base for that withdrawal guarantee. For each withdrawal guarantee, gross partial withdrawals in excess of the maximum annual withdrawal amount for that withdrawal guarantee will reduce the total withdrawal base and minimum remaining withdrawal amount for that withdrawal guarantee by the greater of the dollar amount of the excess withdrawal or a pro rata amount (possibly to zero). See “Appendix - Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider Adjusted Partial Withdrawals,” which provides examples showing the effect of a withdrawal. Excess withdrawals may cause you to lose the withdrawal guarantees under this rider.
Please note: Gross partial withdrawals that are compliant with the “principal back” withdrawal guarantee (i.e., withdrawals of the “principal back” maximum annual withdrawal amount) and any partial withdrawal before the rider anniversary following the annuitant’s 59th birthday, will result in an excess partial withdrawal under the “for life” guarantee, and will reduce the “for life” maximum annual withdrawal amount, the “for life” total withdrawal base, and the “for life” minimum remaining withdrawal amount. Such reduction may be on a greater than dollar-for-dollar basis if the policy value is less than the applicable base.
Rider Fee. There is an additional charge for this rider which is a percentage of the “principal back” total withdrawal base on each rider anniversary which is charged annually before annuitization. We will also deduct the rider fee upon full surrender of the policy or other termination of the rider. The rider fee is deducted from each investment option in proportion to the amount of policy value in each investment option. Generally, the rider fee is deducted regardless of your values (i.e., even if your policy value exceeds your total withdrawal base).
We will continue to calculate the rider fee using the “principal back” total withdrawal base even after the “principal back” minimum remaining withdrawal amount reaches zero. The “principal back” total withdrawal base is always greater than or equal to the “for life” total withdrawal base.
Please note: Because the rider fee is a percentage of your “principal back” total withdrawal base on each rider anniversary, the fee can be substantially more than the same percentage of your policy value if that total withdrawal base is higher than your policy value.
Portfolio Allocation Method
If you elect the Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider, the Portfolio Allocation Method (“PAM”) will automatically be in effect. PAM is designed to help manage portfolio risk and support the guarantees under the Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider. Using PAM, we will monitor your policy value and may transfer amounts back and forth between the PAM TA Aegon U.S. Government Securities - Service Class subaccount (which invests in the Transamerica Aegon U.S. Government Securities VP - Service Class portfolio of the Transamerica Series Trust) or certain guaranteed period options of the fixed account (each a “PAM investment option” and collectively, the “PAM investment options”) and the variable investment options you choose. You should read the underlying
43

fund prospectus for the variable PAM investment option(s) carefully before you elect the Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider. We will transfer amounts from your variable investment options to the PAM investment options to the extent we deem necessary to support the guarantees under the rider. We will transfer amounts to the PAM investment options proportionally from all your variable investment options. Currently, PAM transfers are being made to the PAM TA Aegon U.S. Government Securities - Service Class subaccount. We will not transfer amounts to the PAM investment options if your policy value is greater than guarantees under the rider.
PAM is designed to help reduce portfolio risk associated with negative performance. Using PAM, we will transfer amounts from your variable investment options to the PAM investment options to the extent we deem necessary to help manage portfolio risk and support the guarantees under the Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider. You should not view the Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider or PAM as a “market timing” tool or other type of investment program designed to enhance your policy value. If you choose this rider, it may result in a lower policy value in certain situations. If policy value is transferred from your chosen variable investment options to the PAM investment options, less of your policy value may be available to participate in any future positive investment performance of your variable investment options. This may potentially provide a lower policy value than if you did not select the Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider.
Under PAM, the mathematical model compares a number of interrelated factors including your policy value and the guarantees under the rider to be provided in the future. The mathematical model also uses assumptions for interest rates, the duration of the policy and stock market volatility. The following table sets forth the most influential of these factors and indicates how each one (assuming all other factors remain constant) could trigger a transfer into or out of the PAM subaccounts.
Factor Direction of Transfer
Policy Value Increases Transfer to the investment options
Policy Value Decreases Transfer to the PAM subaccounts
Interest Rates Increase Transfer to the investment options
Volatility Increases Transfer to the PAM subaccounts
The amount of the transfer will vary depending on the magnitude and direction of the change in these factors. We may transfer some or all of your policy value to or from the PAM investment options.
Transactions you make also affect the number of PAM transfers including:
additional premium payments; and
excess withdrawals.
These transactions will change the policy value relative to the guarantees under the rider and may result in additional PAM transfers.
You may not allocate premium payments to, nor transfer policy value into or out of, the PAM investment options. PAM transfers are not subject to any transfer fee and do not count against the number of any free transfers we allow. Transfers out of a fixed account PAM investment option are at our discretion and may be subject to an excess interest adjustment if the transfer occurs before the end of a guarantee period. Any transfer we make out of PAM investment options to your variable investment options will be allocated into your variable investment options in proportion to the amount of policy value in each variable investment option. Please note that if your policy value is 100% allocated to the fixed account, we will be unable to transfer any of your policy value out of PAM investment options.
Generally, transfers to the PAM investment options first occur when the policy value drops by a cumulative amount of 3% to 5% over any period of time, although we may make transfers to the PAM investment options when the policy value drops by a cumulative amount of less than 3% in relation to the guarantees. If the policy value continues to fall, more transfers to the PAM investment options will occur. When a transfer occurs, the transferred policy value is allocated to the PAM investment option(s) we deem appropriate. The policy value allocated to the PAM investment options will remain there unless the performance of your chosen investment options recovers sufficiently to enable us to transfer amounts back to your investment options while maintaining the guarantees under the Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider. This generally occurs when the policy value increases by 5% to 10% in relation to the guarantees, although we may require a larger increase before transferring amounts back to your investment options.
The Daily Rebalancing Formula Under the Mathematical Model: As noted above, to limit our exposure under the rider, we transfer policy value from your investment options to the PAM subaccounts, to the extent called for by a mathematical model that will not change once you purchase the policy. We do this in order to minimize the need to provide payments (for example, when your policy value goes to zero by other than an excess withdrawal), or to extend the time before any payment is required. When payments become
44

more likely (because your policy value is approaching zero), the mathematical model will tend to allocate more policy value to the PAM subaccounts. If, on the other hand, the policy value is much higher than the guarantees under the rider, then payments may not be necessary, and therefore, the mathematical model will tend to allocate more policy value to the investment options.
Each market day the mathematical model computes a “target allocation,” which is the portion of the policy value that is to be allocated to the investment options.
The target allocation depends on several factors, including the policy value as compared to the guarantees under the rider, the time until payments are likely required, and interest rates. However, as time passes, these factors change. Therefore, the target allocation changes from one market day to the next. See “Appendix - PAM Method Transfers” for more detail regarding the workings of the mathematical model.
Upgrades
Prior to the annuitant's 86th birthday and after the third rider anniversary, you can upgrade the total withdrawal base and guaranteed future value to the policy value by providing us the required notice. The minimum remaining withdrawal amounts will also be upgraded to the policy value and the maximum annual withdrawal amounts will be recalculated.
If an upgrade is elected, your current rider will terminate and a new rider will be issued with a new rider date, guaranteed future value date, and its own rider fee percentage (which may be higher than your current rider fee percentage). The “principal back” and “for life” withdrawal percentages will not change. The new rider date will be the date we receive all necessary information.
Annuitization
If you have reached your maximum annuity commencement date, we will allow you to annuitize your policy and elect to receive lifetime annuity payments equal to your 5% “for life” maximum annual withdrawal amount.
Termination
The Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider will terminate upon the earliest of the following:
the date we receive written notice from you in good order requesting termination of the Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider (you may not terminate the rider before the third rider anniversary);
annuitization (however, if you have reached your maximum annuity commencement date you may choose an annuitization option which guarantees you lifetime payments in an amount equal to your 5% “for life” maximum annual withdrawal amount);
the date the policy to which this rider is attached is assigned or the owner is changed without our approval;
the date an excess withdrawal reduces your policy value to zero; or
termination of your policy.
Please note: This feature terminates upon annuitization and there is a maximum annuity commencement date.
The Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider may vary for certain policies and may not be available for all policies, in all states, at all times or through all financial intermediaries. We may discontinue offering this benefit at any time. In some cases, a benefit not available through a financial intermediary may be obtained by contacting us directly. For more information on the options available for electing a benefit, please contact your financial intermediary or our Administrative Office.

Retirement Income Max® Rider
If you elect the Retirement Income Max® Rider identified below, which provides certain guaranteed benefits, the Company requires your policy value to be allocated into designated investment options. One or more of the designated investment options may include a volatility control strategy. Volatility control strategies, in periods of high market volatility, could limit your participation in market gains; this may conflict with your investment objectives by limiting your ability to maximize potential growth of your policy value and, in turn, the value of any guaranteed benefit that is tied to investment performance. Volatility control strategies are intended to help limit overall volatility and reduce the effects of significant market downturns during periods of high market volatility, providing policy owners with the opportunity for smoother performance and better risk adjusted returns. Volatility control (and similar terms) can encompass a variety of investment strategies of different types and degrees; therefore, you should read the applicable annuity and underlying fund portfolio prospectuses carefully to understand how these investment strategies may affect your policy value and rider benefits. The Company’s requirement to invest in accordance with designated investment options, which may include volatility control, may reduce our costs and risks associated with this rider. You pay an additional fee for the rider benefits which, in part, pay for protecting the rider benefit base from investment losses. Since the rider benefit base does not decrease as a result of investment losses, volatility control strategies might not provide meaningful additional benefit to you. You should carefully evaluate with your financial advisor whether to invest in funds with volatility control strategies, taking into consideration the potential positive or negative impact that such strategy may have on your investment objectives, your policy value and the benefits under the Retirement Income Max® Rider. If you determine that funds with volatility control strategies are not consistent with your investment objectives, there continues to be other designated investment options available under the Retirement Income Max® Rider that do not invest in funds that utilize volatility control strategies.
You may elect to purchase the optional Retirement Income Max® rider which, provides you with: (1) a guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit; and (2) an opportunity for increases in the rider withdrawal amount. This rider is available during the accumulation phase, and requires that you allocate 100% of your policy value in certain designated investment options which are designed to help manage our risk and support the guarantees under the rider. If you elect the Retirement Income Max® rider you cannot elect another GLWB. The tax rules for qualified policies may limit the value of this rider. Please consult a qualified tax adviser before electing the Retirement Income Max® rider for a qualified policy. Please Note: This rider may not be issued or added to Inherited IRAs (sometimes also referred to as beneficiary IRAs) or a nonqualified annuity under which death benefits are being distributed under a stretch withdrawal option. The guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit is based on our claims-paying ability.
Retirement Income Max® - Base Benefit
Under this benefit, you can receive up to the rider withdrawal amount each rider year (first as withdrawals from your policy value and, if necessary because your policy value goes to zero by other than an excess withdrawal, as payments from us for life), starting with the rider year immediately following the annuitant’s (or the annuitant's spouse if younger and the joint life option is elected) 59th birthday and lasting until the annuitant’s (or surviving spouse's if the joint life option is elected) death (unless your withdrawal base is reduced to zero because of an “excess withdrawal”; see Withdrawal Base Adjustments, below). A rider year begins on the rider date and thereafter on each anniversary of that date. The withdrawal percentage and growth percentage that are used to determine your rider withdrawal amount will be disclosed in a Rate Sheet Prospectus Supplement which may be amended from time to time by us. We are under no obligation to notify you when we amend the Rate Sheet Prospectus Supplement. Please contact your financial intermediary or call our Administrative Office to determine whether the Rate Sheet Prospectus Supplement has been amended.
Of course, you can always withdraw an amount up to your cash value pursuant to your rights under the policy at your discretion. See the “Appendix - Hypothetical Adjusted Partial Surrenders - Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit Riders” for examples showing the effect of hypothetical withdrawals in more detail.
Please note:
You will begin paying the rider charge as of the date the rider takes effect, even if you do not begin taking withdrawals for many years, or ever. We will not refund the charges you have paid under the rider if you never choose to take withdrawals and/or if you never receive any payments under the rider.
We have designed this rider to allow for withdrawals from your policy value each rider year that are less than or equal to the rider withdrawal amount. You should not purchase this rider if you plan to take withdrawals in excess of the rider withdrawal amount, because such excess withdrawals may significantly reduce or eliminate the value of the guarantee provided by the rider.
The longer you wait to start making withdrawals under the benefit, the less time you have to benefit from the guarantee because of decreasing life expectancy as you age. On the other hand, the longer you wait to begin making withdrawals, the higher your
46

  withdrawal percentage may be, the higher the withdrawal base due to growth may be, and the more opportunities you will have to lock in a higher withdrawal base. You should carefully consider when to begin making withdrawals. There is a risk that you will not begin making withdrawals at the most financially beneficial time for you.
Because the guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit under this rider is accessed through regular withdrawals that do not exceed the rider withdrawal amount, the rider may not be appropriate for you if you do not foresee a need for liquidity and your primary objective is to take maximum advantage of the tax deferral aspect of the policy.
All policy value must be allocated to a limited number of specified investment options. You should consult with your registered representative to assist you in determining whether these certain investment options are suited for your financial needs and risk tolerance.
Any amount of withdrawals in any rider year that are in excess of the rider withdrawal amount are excess withdrawals.
An excess withdrawal may impact the withdrawal base on a greater than dollar-for-dollar basis and may cause you to lose the benefit of this rider.
Upon the death of the annuitant (or the death of the surviving spouse if the joint option is elected and the surviving spouse was eligible to and elected to continue the policy), the Retirement Income Max® rider terminates and all benefits thereunder cease.
Like all withdrawals, withdrawals while this rider is in effect also:
reduce your policy value;
reduce your base policy death benefit and other benefits;
may be subject to surrender charges or excess interest adjustments;
may be subject to income taxes and federal tax penalties; and
may be limited or restricted under certain qualified policies.
Rider Withdrawal Amount. You can withdraw up to the rider withdrawal amount in any rider year (after age 59) from your policy value without causing an excess withdrawal. See Withdrawal Base Adjustments below.
The rider withdrawal amount is zero if the annuitant (or the annuitant's spouse if younger and the joint life option is elected) is not 59 years old on the rider date and remains zero until the first day of the rider year after the annuitant’s (or the annuitant's spouse's if younger and the joint life option is elected) 59th birthday. If the annuitant (or the annuitant's spouse if younger and the joint life option is elected) is at least 59 years old on the rider date, then the rider withdrawal amount is equal to the withdrawal base multiplied by the withdrawal percentage (see below).
For qualified policies: If the plan participant (generally the annuitant) is at least 70½ years old, the rider withdrawal amount for that rider year (and each subsequent rider year) is equal to the greater of:
the rider withdrawal amount described above; or
an amount equal to any minimum required distribution amount (for the tax year on that rider anniversary) calculated using only: (1) the living annuitant’s age, (2) the IRS Uniform Lifetime table or, if applicable, the Joint Life and Survivor Expectancy table, (3) the policy value of the base policy, (prior to the first rider anniversary we use the policy value on the rider date and thereafter we use the policy value on the date prescribed by the IRS) and (4) amounts from the current calendar year (no carry-over from past years).
Only amounts calculated as set forth above can be used as the rider withdrawal amount.
If your policy value reaches zero:
due to a non-excess withdrawal, then you cannot make premium payments and all other policy features, benefits, and guarantees (except those provided by this rider) are terminated. If your policy value reaches zero by other than an excess withdrawal, we will, unless instructed otherwise, disburse any remaining minimum required distribution amount for the current rider year and set up monthly payments beginning in the next rider year according to your guarantees.
due to an excess withdrawal, then this rider terminates (as does the policy).
Please note:
If the rider is added prior to the annuitant’s (or the annuitant’s spouse if younger and the joint life option is elected) 59th birthday, the rider withdrawal amount will be zero until the beginning of the rider year after the annuitant’s (or the annuitant’s spouse if younger and the joint life option is elected) 59th birthday, however, you will still be charged a rider fee prior to this time.
You cannot carry over any portion of your rider withdrawal amount that is not withdrawn during a rider year for withdrawal in a future rider year. This means that if you do not take the entire rider withdrawal amount during a rider year, you cannot take more than the rider withdrawal amount in the next rider year and maintain the rider's guarantees.
47

Excess withdrawals may cause you to lose the benefit of the rider.
All policy value must be allocated to a limited number of specified investment options. (See Designated Investment Options below.)
Withdrawal Percentage. We use the withdrawal percentage to calculate the rider withdrawal amount. The withdrawal percentage is determined by the annuitant’s age (or the annuitant's spouse's age if younger and the joint life option is elected) at the time of the first withdrawal taken on or after the rider anniversary immediately following the annuitant’s (or the annuitant's spouse's if younger and the joint life option is elected) 59th birthday.
As noted above, the withdrawal percentage is disclosed in Rate Sheet Prospectus Supplements which may be amended by us from time to time. We are under no obligation to notify you when we amend the Rate Sheet Prospectus Supplement. Please contact your financial intermediary or call our Administrative Office to determine whether the Rate Sheet Prospectus Supplement has been amended. In order to receive the applicable withdrawal percentage: (1) your application must be signed and received within the stated time period set forth in the applicable Rate Sheet Prospectus Supplement and (2) your application must be received and your policy must be funded within the stated time periods set forth in the applicable Rate Sheet Prospectus Supplement. Withdrawal percentages reflected in a Rate Sheet Prospectus Supplement with an effective period that does not include the date you signed your application will not apply to your policy. You should not purchase this rider without first obtaining the applicable Rate Sheet Prospectus Supplement. You can contact us to receive a Rate Sheet Prospectus Supplement applicable to you. For riders issued prior to May 1, 2015, the applicable withdrawal percentages are set forth in the May 1, 2015 Statement of Additional Information.
Please note, once established, the withdrawal percentage will not generally increase even though the annuitant’s age increases except in certain instances involving automatic step-ups.
Withdrawal Base. We use the withdrawal base to calculate the rider withdrawal amount. The withdrawal base on the rider date is the policy value  (if X-Share is elected, less any premium enhancements if the rider is added in the first policy year). During any rider year, the withdrawal base is equal to the withdrawal base on the rider date or most recent rider anniversary, plus subsequent premium payments, less subsequent withdrawal base adjustments due to excess withdrawals.
Please note:
We determine the withdrawal base solely to calculate the rider withdrawal amount and rider fee.
Your withdrawal base is not a cash value, a surrender value, or a death benefit. It is not available for withdrawal, it is not a minimum return for any subaccount, and it is not a guarantee of policy value.
Because the withdrawal base is generally equal to the policy value on the rider date, the rider withdrawal amount may be lower if you delay electing the rider and the policy value decreases before you elect the rider.
On each rider anniversary, the withdrawal base will equal the greatest of:
the current withdrawal base;
the withdrawal base immediately before the rider anniversary, increased by the growth credit, if any (see Growth below);
the policy value on any monthiversarySM within the current rider year, (the same day of the month as the rider date, or the next market day if our Administrative Office or the New York Stock Exchange are closed) including the current rider anniversary (see Automatic Step-Up below).
See “Appendix - Hypothetical Example of the Withdrawal Base Calculation - Retirement Income Max® Rider” which illustrates the hypothetical example of the withdrawal base calculation.
Growth. On each of the first ten rider anniversaries, we will add a growth credit to your withdrawal base if no withdrawal occurred during the preceding rider year. The annual growth credit is equal to the growth percentage multiplied by the withdrawal base immediately before the rider anniversary.
As noted above, the growth percentage is disclosed in Rate Sheet Prospectus Supplements which may be amended by us from time to time. We are under no obligation to notify you when we amend the Rate Sheet Prospectus Supplement. Please contact your financial intermediary or call our Administrative Office to determine whether the Rate Sheet Prospectus Supplement has been amended. In order to receive the applicable growth percentage: (1) your application must be signed within the stated time period during which such growth percentages are applicable and (2) your application must be received and your policy must be funded within the stated time periods set forth in the applicable Rate Sheet Prospectus Supplement. Growth percentages reflected in a Rate Sheet Prospectus Supplement with an effective period that does not include the date you signed your application will not apply to your policy. You should not purchase this rider without first obtaining the applicable Rate Sheet Prospectus Supplement. You can contact us to receive a Rate Sheet Prospectus Supplement applicable to you. For riders issued prior to May 1, 2015, the applicable growth percentages are set forth in the May 1, 2015 Statement of Additional Information
48

Please note: Because a withdrawal will eliminate the potential application of the growth credit for that rider year, you should consider your need or possible need to take withdrawals within the first 10 rider years in deciding whether to purchase the rider.
Automatic Step-Up. On each rider anniversary, we will automatically step-up the withdrawal base to an amount equal to the greater of (1) the highest policy value on any monthiversarySM during the preceding rider year, if no excess withdrawal occurred, or (2) the policy value on the rider anniversary. If neither value is greater than the current withdrawal base, or the withdrawal base is increased by any growth percentage, no automatic step-up will occur. The withdrawal percentage (as indicated in the Rate Sheet Prospectus Supplement) will also increase if you have crossed into another age band prior to the automatic step-up. Please note, the increase is part of the automatic step-up and if no automatic step-up occurs then there will be no withdrawal percentage increase.
On each rider anniversary the rider fee percentage may increase (or decrease) at the time of any automatic step-up. The rider fee percentage will not exceed the maximum rider fee percentage in effect when you purchased the rider.
Automatic Step-Up Opt Out. Each time an automatic step-up results in a rider fee percentage increase, you have the option to reject the automatic step-up and reinstate the withdrawal base, withdrawal percentage, and rider fee percentage to their respective amounts immediately before the automatic step-up, provided that you do so within 30 days after the rider anniversary on which the automatic step-up occurred. We must receive your rejection (each time you elect to opt out), in good order, at our Administrative Office within the same 30 day period after the rider anniversary on which the automatic step-up occurred. Opting out of one step-up does not operate as an opt-out of any future step-ups.
Withdrawal Base Adjustments. Cumulative gross partial withdrawals up to the rider withdrawal amount in any rider year will not reduce the withdrawal base. Any amount of gross partial withdrawals in excess of the rider withdrawal amount in any rider year (“excess withdrawals”) will reduce the withdrawal base, however, by the greater of the dollar amount of the excess withdrawal (if the policy value is greater than the withdrawal base) or a pro rata amount (in proportion to the reduction in the policy value when the policy value is less than the withdrawal base), possibly to zero. If an excess withdrawal reduces the policy value to zero, this rider will terminate. Withdrawal base adjustments occur immediately following excess withdrawals. See “Appendix - Hypothetical Adjusted Partial Surrenders - Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit Riders” for examples showing the effect of hypothetical withdrawals in more detail, including an excess withdrawal that reduces the withdrawal base by a pro rata amount. The effect of an excess withdrawal is amplified if the policy value is less than the withdrawal base.
Please Note: We do not monitor for, or notify you of, excess withdrawals. If you take regular or scheduled withdrawals please pay particular attention to any excess withdrawal because your otherwise regular or scheduled non-excess withdrawals may thereafter all be excess withdrawals that reduce or eliminate your benefit on an accelerated basis.
Example. Assume you are the owner and annuitant and you make a single premium payment of $100,000 when you are 66 years old. Further assume that you do not make any withdrawals or additional premium payments, no automatic step-ups occurred, but that after five years your policy value has declined to $90,000 solely because of negative investment performance. With an assumed annual growth rate percentage of 5.0%, after 5 years the withdrawal base is equal to $127,628 ($100,000 x 1.055). You could receive up to $6,381 which is the assumed withdrawal percentage of 5.0% for the single life option multiplied by the withdrawal base of $127,628, each rider year for the rest of your life (assuming that you take your first withdrawal when you are age 71, that you do not withdraw more than the rider withdrawal amount in any one year and there are no future automatic step-ups.)
Example continued. Assume the same facts as above, but you withdraw $10,000 when you are 71 years old. That excess withdrawal decreases your future rider withdrawal amount to $6,501.
See the “Appendix - Hypothetical Adjusted Partial Surrenders - Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit Riders” for examples showing the effect of hypothetical withdrawals in more detail.
Designated Investment Options. If you elect this rider, you must designate 100% of your policy value into one or more of the designated investment options approved for the Retirement Income Max® Rider. See “Appendix - Designated Investment Options” for a complete listing of available subaccounts. Requiring that you designate 100% of your policy value to the designated investment options, some of which employ strategies that are intended to reduce the risk of loss and/or manage volatility, may reduce investment returns and may reduce the likelihood that we will be required to use our own assets to pay amounts due under this benefit.
Transfers between the designated investment options are allowed as permitted under the policy; however, you cannot transfer any amount (or allocate premium payments) to any non-designated investment option. Within 30 days following the fifth rider anniversary (and each successive fifth rider anniversary), you can terminate this rider. Starting the next market day after you terminate your rider, you may transfer (or allocate premium payments) to a non-designated investment option. Terminating the rider will result in losing all your benefits under the rider.
49

Please note:
The earliest you can transfer (or allocate premium payments) to a non-designated investment option is the first market day after the fifth rider anniversary. You will be required to terminate the rider first (and lose its benefits).
We can eliminate a designated investment option at any time. If this occurs, then an owner will be required to reallocate values in the affected designated investment options to other designated investment options that meet the allocation requirements.
Retirement Income Max® - Joint Life Option
If you elect this rider, then you can also elect to postpone termination of the rider until the later of the annuitant or annuitant’s spouse’s death (only if the annuitant’s spouse is eligible to and elects to continue the policy, see TAX INFORMATION - Tax Status of a Nonqualified Policy - Distribution Requirements). If you elect the Joint Life option, then the withdrawal percentage (used to calculate the rider withdrawal amount) is lower.
Please note:
The withdrawal percentage for each “age at the time of the first withdrawal” is lower if you elect this option.
The annuitant's spouse (or in certain instances a non-natural entity acting for the benefit of the annuitant's spouse) must be either a joint owner along with the annuitant or the sole primary beneficiary (and there is no joint owner), if you elect this option. (Please see Spousal Continuation section for more detail regarding annuitant's spouse).
A former spouse of the annuitant cannot continue to keep the policy in force if no longer married to the annuitant at the time of the annuitant's death. In that event, the rider will terminate and no additional withdrawals under the rider will be permitted.
The annuitant’s spouse for purposes of this rider cannot be changed to a new spouse.
The rider withdrawal percentage is based on the age of the younger of the annuitant and annuitant’s spouse, if you elect this option.
This option may not be permitted in the case of certain non-natural owners.
The rider's issue ages may vary if you elect this option.
Retirement Income Max® Rider Fees
Retirement Income Max® Rider Fee. The rider fee is calculated on the rider date and at the beginning of each rider quarter. The rider fee will be adjusted for any premium additions and excess withdrawals. It will be deducted automatically from your policy value at the end of each rider quarter.
On an annual basis, in general terms, the rider fee is the rider fee percentage times the withdrawal base. Specifically, the quarterly fee is calculated by multiplying (A) by (B) multiplied by (C), where:
(A) is the withdrawal base;
(B) is the rider fee percentage; and
(C) is the number of (remaining) days in the rider quarter divided by the total number of days in the applicable rider year.
The following example uses these assumed values: Initial Premium = $100,000; Withdrawal Base = $100,000; Rider Fee percentage = 1.25%; and 91 total days in the rider quarter.
Example 1: Calculation at rider issue for first quarter rider fee. The rider fee is:
= 100,000*0.0125*(91/365)
= 1,250*(91/365)
= $311.64
We will assess a prorated rider fee upon full surrender of the policy or other termination of the rider for the period beginning on the first day of the most recent rider quarter and ending on the date of termination.
On each rider anniversary the rider fee percentage may increase (or decrease) at the time of an automatic step-up. Each time an automatic step-up results in a rider fee percentage increase, you will have the option to reject the automatic step-up and reinstate the withdrawal base and rider fee percentage to their respective amounts immediately before the automatic step-up (adjusted for any subsequent premium payments or withdrawals), provided that you do so within 30 calendar days after the rider anniversary on which the automatic step-up occurred. We must receive your rejection, in good order, at our Administrative Office within the 30 day period after the rider anniversary on which the automatic step-up occurred.
50

Please note regarding the rider fee:
Because the rider fee is a percentage of the withdrawal base, it could be a much higher percentage of your policy value, particularly in the event that your policy value decreases significantly.
Because the rider fee is a percentage of the withdrawal base, the amount of the rider fee we deduct will increase if the withdrawal base increases (although the percentage(s) may remain the same).
Rider Fee Adjustment for Premium Payments and Excess Withdrawals. A rider fee adjustment will be calculated for subsequent premium payments and excess withdrawals because these events will change the withdrawal base. The rider fee adjustment may be positive or negative and will be added to or subtracted from the rider fee to be collected.
The following example uses these assumed values: All initial values as in Example 1; Subsequent Premium = $10,000; and 30 remaining days in the rider quarter.
Example 2: Calculation for first quarter rider fee adjustment for a subsequent premium. The fee adjustment is:
= 10,000*0.0125*(30/365)
= 125*(30/365)
= $10.27
Total fee assessed at the end of the first rider quarter (assuming no further rider fee adjustments):
= 311.64 + 10.27
= $321.91
Retirement Income Max® Rider Issue Requirements
We will not issue the Retirement Income Max® rider unless:
the annuitant is not yet age 86 (lower if required by state law);
the annuitant is also an owner (except in the case of non-natural owners);
there are no more than two owners; and
if the joint life option is elected, the annuitant’s spouse is also not yet 86 (lower if required by state law) and (1) is a joint owner along with the annuitant or (2) is the sole primary beneficiary (and there is no joint owner).
The use of joint life option may not be permitted in the case of certain non-natural owners.
Termination
The Retirement Income Max® rider will terminate upon the earliest of the following:
the date we receive written notice from you requesting termination of the rider if such notice is received before midnight of the 30th calendar day after you receive the rider;
the date we receive written notice from you requesting termination of the rider if such notice is received by us during the 30 days following the fifth rider anniversary or every fifth rider anniversary thereafter;
the death of the annuitant (or if the joint life option was elected, the death of the annuitant’s spouse if that spouse was eligible to and elected to continue the policy as the surviving spouse);
annuitization (however, if you have reached your maximum annuity commencement date you may choose an annuitization option which guarantees you lifetime payments in an amount equal to your rider withdrawal amount);
the date the policy to which this rider is attached is assigned or if the owner is changed without our approval;
the date an excess withdrawal reduces your policy value to zero; or
termination of your policy.
Please note: This rider terminates upon annuitization and there is a maximum annuity commencement date at which time your policy will be annuitized according to its terms. However, if you have reached your maximum annuity commencement date, we will allow you to annuitize your policy and elect to receive lifetime annuity payments which are at least equal to your rider withdrawal amount. Please contact us for more information concerning your options.
The Retirement Income Max® rider and additional options may vary for certain policies and may not be available for all policies, in all states, at all times or through all financial intermediaries. We may discontinue offering this benefit at any time. In some cases, a benefit not available through a financial intermediary may be obtained by contacting us directly. For more information on the options available for electing a benefit, please contact your financial intermediary or our Administrative Office.

Retirement Income Choice® 1.6 Rider
If you elect the Retirement Income Choice® 1.6 Rider identified below, which provides certain guaranteed benefits, the Company requires your policy value to be allocated into designated investment options. One or more of the designated investment options may include a volatility control strategy. Volatility control strategies, in periods of high market volatility, could limit your participation in market gains; this may conflict with your investment objectives by limiting your ability to maximize potential growth of your policy value and, in turn, the value of any guaranteed benefit that is tied to investment performance. Volatility control strategies are intended to help limit overall volatility and reduce the effects of significant market downturns during periods of high market volatility, providing policy owners with the opportunity for smoother performance and better risk adjusted returns. Volatility control (and similar terms) can encompass a variety of investment strategies of different types and degrees; therefore, you should read the applicable annuity and underlying fund portfolio prospectuses carefully to understand how these investment strategies may affect your policy value and rider benefits. The Company’s requirement to invest in accordance with designated investment options, which may include volatility control, may reduce our costs and risks associated with this rider. You pay an additional fee for the rider benefits which, in part, pay for protecting the rider benefit base from investment losses. Since the rider benefit base does not decrease as a result of investment losses, volatility control strategies might not provide meaningful additional benefit to you. You should carefully evaluate with your financial advisor whether to invest in funds with volatility control strategies, taking into consideration the potential positive or negative impact that such strategy may have on your investment objectives, your policy value and the benefits under the Retirement Income Choice® 1.6 Rider. If you determine that funds with volatility control strategies are not consistent with your investment objectives, there continues to be other designated investment options available under the Retirement Income Choice® 1.6 Rider that do not invest in funds that utilize volatility control strategies.
You may elect to purchase the optional Retirement Income Choice® 1.6 Rider which, provides you with: (1) a guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit; and (2) an opportunity for increases in the rider withdrawal amount. This rider is available during the accumulation phase, and requires that you allocate 100% of your policy value in certain designated investment options. If you elect the Retirement Income Choice® 1.6 rider you cannot elect another GLWB. The tax rules for qualified policies may limit the value of this rider. Please consult a qualified tax adviser before electing the Retirement Income Choice® 1.6 rider for a qualified policy. Please Note: This rider may not be issued or added to Inherited IRAs (sometimes also referred to as beneficiary IRAs) or a nonqualified annuity under which death benefits are being distributed under a stretch withdrawal option. The guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit is based on our claims-paying ability.
Retirement Income Choice® 1.6 Base Benefit
Under this benefit, you can receive up to the rider withdrawal amount each rider year (first as withdrawals from your policy value and, if necessary because your policy value goes to zero by other than an excess withdrawal, as payments from us), starting with the rider year immediately following the annuitant’s (or the annuitant's spouse if younger and the joint life option is elected) 59th birthday and lasting until the annuitant’s (or the annuitant's spouse if younger and the joint life option is elected) death (unless your withdrawal base is reduced to zero because of an “excess withdrawal”; see Withdrawal Base Adjustments and Rider Death Benefit Adjustments, below). A rider year begins on the rider date (the date the rider becomes effective) and thereafter on each anniversary of that date.
Of course you can always withdraw an amount up to your cash value pursuant to your rights under the policy at your discretion. See Appendix Hypothetical Adjusted Partial Surrenders Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit Riders” for examples showing the effect of hypothetical withdrawals in more detail.
Please note:
You will begin paying the rider charge as of the date the rider takes effect, even if you do not begin taking withdrawals for many years, or ever. We will not refund the charges you have paid under the rider if you never choose to take withdrawals and/or if you never receive any payments under the rider.
We have designed this rider to allow for withdrawals from your policy value each rider year that are less than or equal to the rider withdrawal amount. You should not purchase this rider if you plan to take withdrawals in excess of the rider withdrawal amount, because such excess withdrawals may significantly reduce or eliminate the value of the guarantees provided by the rider.
The longer you wait to start making withdrawals under the benefit, the less time you have to benefit from the guarantee because of decreasing life expectancy as you age. On the other hand, the longer you wait to begin making withdrawals, the higher your withdrawal percentage may be, the higher the withdrawal base due to growth may be, and the more opportunities you will have to lock in a higher withdrawal base. You should carefully consider when to begin making withdrawals. There is a risk that you will not begin making withdrawals at the most financially beneficial time for you.
52

Because the guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit under this rider is accessed through regular withdrawals that do not exceed the rider withdrawal amount, the rider may not be appropriate for you if you do not foresee a need for liquidity and your primary objective is to take maximum advantage of the tax deferral aspect of the policy.
All policy value must be allocated to a limited number of specified investment options. You should consult with your registered representative to assist you in determining whether these investment options are suited for your financial needs and risk tolerance.
Any amount of withdrawals in any rider year that are in excess of the rider withdrawal amount are excess withdrawals.
An excess withdrawal may impact the withdrawal base, and rider death benefit (if applicable) on a greater than dollar-for-dollar basis and may eliminate the benefit.
Any withdrawal will reduce your rider death benefit (if applicable).
Upon the death of the annuitant (or the death of the surviving spouse if the joint option is elected and the surviving spouse was eligible to and elected to continue the policy), the Retirement Income Choice® 1.6 rider terminates and all benefits thereunder cease.
Like all withdrawals, withdrawals while this rider is in effect also:
reduce your policy value;
reduce your base policy death benefit and other benefits;
may be subject to surrender charges or excess interest adjustments;
may be subject to income taxes and federal tax penalties; and
may be limited or restricted under certain qualified policies.
Rider Withdrawal Amount. You can withdraw up to the rider withdrawal amount in any rider year (after age 59) from your policy value without causing an excess withdrawal. See Withdrawal Base Adjustments and Rider Death Benefit Adjustments below.
The rider withdrawal amount is zero if the annuitant (or the annuitant's spouse if younger and the joint life option is elected) is not 59 years old on the rider date and remains zero until the first day of the rider year after the annuitant’s (or the annuitant's spouse if younger and the joint life option is elected) 59th birthday. If the annuitant (or the annuitant's spouse if younger and the joint life option is elected) is at least 59 years old on the rider date, then the rider withdrawal amount is equal to the withdrawal base multiplied by the withdrawal percentage (see below).
For qualified policies: If the plan participant (generally the annuitant) is at least 70½ years old, the rider withdrawal amount for that rider year (and each subsequent rider year) is equal to the greater of:
the rider withdrawal amount described above; or
an amount equal to any minimum required distribution amount (for the tax year on that rider anniversary) calculated using only: (1) the living annuitant’s age, (2) the IRS Uniform Lifetime table or, if applicable, the Joint Life and Survivor Expectancy table, (3) the policy value of the base policy, (prior to the first rider anniversary we use the policy value on the rider date and thereafter we use the policy value on the date prescribed by the IRS) and (4) amounts from the current calendar year (no carry-over from past years).
Only amounts calculated as set forth above can be used as the rider withdrawal amount.
If your policy value reaches zero:
due to a non-excess withdrawal, then you cannot make premium payments and all other policy features, benefits, and guarantees (except those provided by this rider) are terminated. If your policy value reaches zero by other than an excess withdrawal, we will, unless instructed otherwise, disburse any remaining minimum required distribution amount for the current rider year and set up monthly payments beginning in the next rider year according to your guarantees.
due to an excess withdrawal, then the rider terminates (as does the policy).
Please note:
If the rider is added prior to the annuitant’s (or the annuitant's spouse if younger and the joint life option is elected) 59th birthday, the rider withdrawal amount will be zero until the beginning of the rider year after the annuitant’s (or the annuitant’s spouse if younger and the joint life option is elected) 59th birthday, however, you will still be charged a rider fee prior to this time.
You cannot carry over any portion of your rider withdrawal amount that is not withdrawn during a rider year for withdrawal in a future rider year. This means that if you do not take the entire rider withdrawal amount during a rider year, you cannot take more than the rider withdrawal amount in the next rider year and maintain the rider's guarantees.
53

Excess withdrawals may cause you to lose the benefit of the rider.
All policy value must be allocated to a limited number of specified funds. (See Designated Investment Options below.)
Withdrawal Percentage. We use the withdrawal percentage to calculate the rider withdrawal amount. The withdrawal percentage is determined by the annuitant’s age (or the annuitant's spouse's age if younger and the joint life option is elected) at the time of the first withdrawal taken on or after the rider anniversary immediately following the annuitant’s (or the annuitant's spouse's if younger and the joint life option is elected) 59th birthday. The withdrawal percentage is as follows:
Age at time of
first withdrawal
  Single Life Option
Riders Issued
on or after
May 1, 2014
  Joint Life Option
Riders Issued
on or after
May 1, 2014
  Single Life Option
Riders Issued
Prior to
May 1, 2014
  Joint Life Option
Riders Issued
Prior to
May 1, 2014
0-58   0.00%   0.00%   0.00%   0.00%
59-64   4.00%   3.75% *   4.00%   3.50%
65-79   5.00%   4.75% *   5.00%   4.50%
≥ 80   6.00%   5.75% *   6.00%   5.50%
* For policies issued in New York, these withdrawal percentages will be 0.25% lower.
Please note, once established, the withdrawal percentage will not generally increase even though the annuitant’s age increases except in certain instances involving automatic step-ups.
Withdrawal Base. We use the withdrawal base to calculate the rider withdrawal amount. The withdrawal base on the rider date is the policy value  (if X-Share is elected, less any premium enhancements if the rider is added in the first policy year). During any rider year, the withdrawal base is equal to the withdrawal base on the rider date or most recent rider anniversary, plus subsequent premium payments, less subsequent withdrawal base adjustments due to excess withdrawals.
Please note:
We determine the withdrawal base solely to calculate the rider withdrawal amount and rider fee.
Your withdrawal base is not a cash value, a surrender value, or a death benefit. It is not available for withdrawal, it is not a minimum return for any subaccount, and it is not a guarantee of policy value.
Because the withdrawal base is generally equal to the policy value on the rider date, the rider withdrawal amount may be lower if you delay electing the rider and the policy value decreases before you elect the rider.
On each rider anniversary, the withdrawal base will equal the greatest of:
Current withdrawal base;
The withdrawal base immediately before the rider anniversary, increased by the growth credit, if any (see Growth below);
The policy value on any monthiversarySM (the same day of the month as of the rider date, or the next market day if our Administrative Office or the New York Stock Exchange are closed) within the current rider year, including the current rider anniversary (see Automatic Step-Up below).
Growth. On each of the first ten rider anniversaries, we will add a growth credit to your withdrawal base if no withdrawal occurred during the preceding rider year. The growth percentage is as follows:
Riders Issued
On or after May 1, 2014
  Riders Issued
Prior to May 1, 2014
5.50% *   5.00%
* For policies issued in New York with the Joint Life Option, the growth percentage will be 0.50% lower.
The growth credit is equal to the growth percentage multiplied by the withdrawal base immediately before the rider anniversary.
Please note: Because a withdrawal will eliminate the potential application of the growth credit for that rider year, you should consider your need or possible need to take withdrawals within the first 10 rider years in deciding whether to purchase the rider.
Automatic Step-Up. On each rider anniversary, we will automatically step-up the withdrawal base to an amount equal to the greater of (1) the highest policy value on any monthiversarySM during the preceding rider year, if no excess withdrawal occurred, or (2) the policy value on the rider anniversary. If neither value is greater than the current withdrawal base or the withdrawal base increased by
54

any growth credit, no automatic step-up will occur. The withdrawal percentage (as indicated in the withdrawal percentage table) will also increase if you have crossed into another age band prior to the automatic step-up. Please note, the increase is part of the automatic step-up and if no automatic step-up occurs then there will be no withdrawal percentage increase.
Beginning on the fifth rider anniversary, the rider fee percentage may increase (or decrease) at the time of any automatic step-up. The rider fee percentage will not exceed the maximum rider fee percentage in effect when you purchased the rider.
Automatic Step-Up Opt Out. Each time an automatic step-up results in a rider fee percentage increase, you have the option to reject the automatic step-up and reinstate the withdrawal base, withdrawal percentage, and rider fee percentage to their respective amounts immediately before the automatic step-up, provided that you do so within 30 days after the rider anniversary on which the automatic step-up occurred. Changes as a result of the automatic step-up feature will be reversed. We must receive your rejection (each time you elect to opt out), in good order, at our Administrative Office within the same 30 day period after the rider anniversary on which the automatic step-up occurred. Opting out of one step-up does not operate as an opt-out of any future step-ups.
Withdrawal Base Adjustments. Cumulative gross partial withdrawals up to the rider withdrawal amount in any rider year will not reduce the withdrawal base. Any amount of gross partial withdrawals in excess of the rider withdrawal amount in any rider year (“excess withdrawals”) will reduce the withdrawal base, however, by the greater of the dollar amount of the excess withdrawal (if the policy value is greater than the withdrawal base) or a pro rata amount (in proportion to the reduction in the policy value when the policy value is less than the withdrawal base), possibly to zero. If an excess withdrawal reduces the policy value to zero, this rider will terminate. Withdrawal base adjustments occur immediately following excess withdrawals. See “Appendix - Hypothetical Adjusted Partial Surrenders - Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit Riders” for examples showing the effect of hypothetical withdrawals in more detail, including an excess withdrawal that reduces the withdrawal base by a pro rata amount. The effect of an excess withdrawal is magnified if the policy value is less than the withdrawal base. See the “Appendix - Hypothetical Adjusted Partial Surrenders - Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit Riders” for examples showing the effect of hypothetical excess withdrawals in more detail.
Please Note: We do not monitor for, or notify you of, excess withdrawals. If you take regular or scheduled withdrawals please pay particular attention to any excess withdrawal because your otherwise regular or scheduled non-excess withdrawals may thereafter all be excess withdrawals that reduce or eliminate your benefit on an accelerated basis.
Example. Assume you are the owner and annuitant and you make a single premium payment of $100,000 when you are 66 years old. Further assume that you do not make any withdrawals or subsequent premium payments, no automatic step-ups occurred, but that after five years your policy value has declined to $90,000 solely because of negative investment performance. With an assumed annual growth rate percentage of 5.0%, after 5 years the withdrawal base is equal to $127,628 ($100,000 x 1.055). You could receive up to $6,381 which is the assumed withdrawal percentage of 5.0% for the single life option multiplied by the withdrawal base of $127,628, each rider year for the rest of your life (assuming that you take your first withdrawal when you are age 71, that you do not withdraw more than the rider withdrawal amount in any one year and there are no future automatic step-ups.)
Example continued. Assume the same facts as above, but you withdraw $10,000 when you are 71 years old. That excess withdrawal decreases your future rider withdrawal amount to $6,501.
See the “Appendix - Hypothetical Adjusted Partial Surrenders - Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit Riders” for examples showing the effect of hypothetical withdrawals in more detail.
Designated Investment Options. If you elect this rider, you must designate 100% of your policy value into one or more of the designated investment options available under the respective designated allocation groups that have been approved for the Retirement Income Choice® 1.6 Rider. See “Appendix - Designated Investment Options” for a complete listing of available subaccounts. Requiring that you designate 100% of your policy value to the designated investment options, some of which employ strategies that are intended to reduce the risk of loss and/or manage volatility, may reduce investment returns and may reduce the likelihood that we will be required to use our own assets to pay amounts due under this benefit.
Transfers between the designated investment options are allowed as permitted under the policy; however, you cannot transfer any amount (or allocate premium payments) to any non-designated investment option. Within 30 days following the fifth rider anniversary (and each successive fifth rider anniversary) you can terminate this rider. Starting the next market day, you may transfer (or allocate premium payments) to a non-designated investment option. Terminating the rider will result in losing all your benefits under the rider.
Please note:
The earliest you can transfer (or allocate premium payments) to a non-designated investment option is the first market day after the fifth rider anniversary. You will be required to terminate the rider first. If you terminate the rider you will lose all of its benefits.
55

We can change a designated allocation group or eliminate a designated investment option at any time. If this occurs, then an owner will be required to reallocate values in the affected designated investment options to other designated investment options that meet the allocation requirements.
Manual Resets. You can effectively “reset” the withdrawal base to the policy value using a manual process under which your current rider is terminated and a new rider is issued. You can only elect a reset during the 30 day periods following each successive fifth rider anniversary and if all other rider issue requirements are met. When the new rider is issued, the rider withdrawal amount and, if applicable, the rider death benefit will be recalculated. Your new rider will have a new rider date, new rider fee percentage (which may be higher than your current rider fee percentage), and its own terms and benefits (which may not be as advantageous as the current rider). The new rider date will be the date we receive all necessary information in good order. Please note that this “reset” procedure may be referred to as a “manual upgrade” in your policy rider and other materials.
Please note:
Manual resets, unlike automatic step-ups, occur only if you so elect during the 30 day window following each successive fifth rider anniversary.
Manual resets result in the purchase of a new rider whose terms may be more or less favorable than the current rider whereas automatic step-ups do not require termination of the existing rider and repurchase of a new rider (although fees may increase at the time of an automatic step-up).
Owners may decide to terminate an existing rider if it no longer meets their needs and then elect a new available rider that does.
Retirement Income Choice® 1.6 Additional Options
You may elect the following options with this rider (the options are not mutually exclusive):
Death Benefit;
Joint Life; and
Income EnhancementSM.
There is an additional fee if you elect the Death Benefit and/or the Income EnhancementSM Benefit option(s) under the rider. If you elect the Joint Life option, then the withdrawal percentage (used to calculate the rider withdrawal amount) is lower. Furthermore, if you elect the Joint Life option in combination with the Death Benefit and/or the Income EnhancementSM Benefit option(s), then the fee for each of those additional options will be different than under the Single Life option. See Retirement Income Choice® 1.6 Rider Fees. There may be different issue ages depending upon which options you elect.
Death Benefit. If you elect this rider, you can also elect to add an additional amount to the death benefit payable under the base policy, upon the death of the annuitant (or if the joint life option is selected, the death of the annuitant’s spouse if later). The additional amount will be equal to the excess, if any, of the rider death benefit over the greater of any optional guaranteed minimum death benefit or the base policy death benefit. The additional amount can be zero. See DEATH BENEFIT.
Rider Death Benefit. The rider death benefit on the rider date is the policy value  (if X-Share is elected, less any premium enhancements if the rider is added in the first policy year). After the rider date, the rider death benefit is equal to:
the rider death benefit on the rider date; plus
subsequent premium payments; less
adjustments for withdrawals (as described under Rider Death Benefit Adjustments, below).
Rider Death Benefit Adjustments. Gross partial withdrawals up to the rider withdrawal amount in a rider year will reduce the rider death benefit on a dollar-for-dollar basis. Gross partial withdrawals in excess of the rider withdrawal amount in a rider year will reduce the rider death benefit by the greater of the dollar amount of the excess withdrawal or a pro rata amount (in proportion to the reduction in policy value), and possibly to zero. See “Appendix - Hypothetical Adjusted Partial Surrenders - Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit Riders” for examples showing the effect of hypothetical withdrawals in more detail, including an excess withdrawal that results in pro rata adjustments. Rider death benefit adjustments occur immediately following all withdrawals.
Please note:
No additional death benefit is payable if the base policy death benefit (including the guaranteed minimum death benefit) exceeds the rider death benefit. The greater the death benefit payable under the guaranteed minimum death benefit selected, the more likely it is that an additional amount will not be payable under the rider death benefit option.
Excess withdrawals may eliminate the additional death benefit available with this rider. You will continue to pay the fee for this option, even if the additional death benefit available under the rider is $0.
Manual resets to the withdrawal base will result in a recalculation of the rider death benefit. However, automatic step-ups will not reset the rider death benefit.
56

If an owner who is not the annuitant dies and the surviving spouse is eligible to and elects to continue the policy, then no additional amount is payable. If the policy is not continued, then the surviving owner (who is also the sole beneficiary) may elect to receive lifetime annuity payments equal to the rider withdrawal amount divided by the number of payments each year instead of receiving the policy’s cash value. See TAX INFORMATION - Tax Status of a Nonqualified Policy - Distribution Requirements. (The payment of a death benefit under the policy is triggered by the death of the annuitant.)
The additional death benefit adjustment differs from the adjusted partial surrender amount for the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefits described in DEATH BENEFIT - Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefits. Accordingly, withdrawals may effect the additional death benefit differently than the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefits.
The additional death benefit payment option may be referred to as “rider death benefit” on your policy statement and other documents.
Joint Life Benefit. If you elect this rider, then you can also elect to postpone termination of the rider until the later of the annuitant or annuitant’s spouse’s death (only if the annuitant’s spouse is eligible to and elects to continue the policy, see TAX INFORMATION – Tax Status of a Nonqualified Policy Distribution Requirements). If you elect the Joint Life option, then the withdrawal percentage (used to calculate the rider withdrawal amount) is lower.
Please note:
The withdrawal percentage for each “age at the time of first withdrawal” is lower if you elect this option.
The annuitant's spouse (or in certain instances a non-natural entity acting for the benefit of the annuitant's spouse) must be either a joint owner along with the annuitant or the sole primary beneficiary (and there is no joint owner), if you elect this option. (Please see Spousal Continuation section for more detail regarding annuitant's spouse).
A former spouse of the annuitant cannot continue to keep the policy in force if no longer married to the annuitant at the time of the annuitant's death. In that event, the rider will terminate and no additional withdrawals under the rider will be permitted.
The annuitant’s spouse for purposes of this rider cannot be changed to a new spouse.
The rider withdrawal percentage is based on the age of the younger of the annuitant and annuitant’s spouse, if you elect this option.
The rider death benefit is not payable until the death of the surviving spouse, if you elect this option.
You cannot elect a manual reset if the annuitant or annuitant’s spouse is 86 or older (lower if required by state law).
This option may not be permitted in the case of certain non-natural owners.
Income EnhancementSM Option. If you elect this rider, you can also elect to have your withdrawal percentage increase to 150% of the non-income enhanced withdrawal percentage if either the annuitant (or the annuitant’s spouse if the joint life option is elected) is confined, due to a medical necessity in a hospital or nursing facility due to physical or cognitive ailments. Benefits from this option are not available unless the rider has been in effect for 12 months (the “waiting period”) and confinement must meet the elimination period of 180 days within the last 365 days. The elimination period and waiting period can, but do not need to, run concurrently.
Please note:
You cannot elect the Income EnhancementSM Option if the qualifying person or persons is/are already admitted to a hospital or already reside in a nursing facility.
Confinement must be prescribed by a physician based on the individual's inability to sustain themselves outside of a hospital or nursing facility due to physical or cognitive ailments.
The increase to the withdrawal percentage stops when the qualifying person or persons is/are no longer confined as described above.
The hospital and/or nursing facility must meet the criteria listed below to qualify for the benefit.
A Qualifying Hospital must meet the following criteria:
It is operated pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is located;
It is operated primarily for the care and treatment of sick and injured persons on an inpatient basis;
It provides 24-hour nursing service by or under the supervision of registered graduate professional nurses;
It is supervised by a staff of one or more licensed physicians; and
It has medical, surgical and diagnostic facilities or access to such facilities.
A Qualifying Nursing Facility must meet the following criteria:
It is operated pursuant to the laws and regulations of the state in which it is located as a nursing facility or Alzheimer's disease facility;
57

It provides care performed or supervised by a registered graduate nurse;
It provides room and board accommodations;
Will provide 24-hour nursing services, 7 days a week by an on-site Registered Nurse and related services on a continuing inpatient basis;
It has a planned program of policies and procedures developed with the advice of, and periodically reviewed by, at least one physician; and
It maintains a clinical record of each patient.
A Qualifying Nursing Facility does not include:
Assisted living facilities or residential care facilities;
A place primarily for treatment of mental or nervous disorders, drug addiction or alcoholism;
A home for the aged, a rest home, community living center or a place that provides domestic, resident, retirement or educational care;
Personal care homes, personal care boarding homes, residential or domiciliary care homes;
A rehabilitation hospital or basic care facilities;
Adult foster care facilities, congregate care facilities, family and group living assisted living facilities; or
Other facilities similar to those described above.
We will require confirmation of confinement in a qualifying hospital or a qualifying nursing facility while benefit payouts are being received. Confirmation of that confinement will be attained and approved by completing our “Income EnhancementSM Election and Proof of Confinement Questionnaire” form. This form requires additional proof of confinement which may be a physician’s statement, a statement from a hospital or nursing facility administrator, or any other information satisfactory to us which may include information from third party or company interviews and/or visits of the facility. If it is determined that the qualifying individual was not confined in an eligible facility as defined above and has received payments under the Income EnhancementSM Option, those payments could be considered an excess withdrawal and have a negative effect on the rider values. If confinement ceases, you may re-qualify by satisfying another 180-day elimination period requirement.
Retirement Income Choice® 1.6 Fees
Retirement Income Choice® 1.6 Base Rider Fee. The base rider fee is calculated on the rider date and at the beginning of each rider quarter. The base rider fee will be adjusted for any premium additions, excess withdrawals, or transfers between designated investment groups. It will be deducted automatically from your policy value at the end of each rider quarter.
On an annual basis, in general terms, the base rider fee is the applicable rider fee percentage times the withdrawal base.
The base quarterly fee is calculated by multiplying (A) by (B) divided by (C) multiplied by (D), where:
(A) is the withdrawal base;
(B) is the sum of each designated investment group's rider fee percentage multiplied by the applicable designated investment group's value;
(C) is the total policy value; and
(D) is the number of (remaining) days in the rider quarter divided by the total number of days in the applicable rider year.
The following example uses these assumed values: Initial Premium = $100,000; Fund Allocations such that Group A = $50,000, Group B = $30,000, and Group C = $20,000; Withdrawal Base = $100,000; Policy Value = $100,000; Investment Group fee percentages of Group A = 1.45%, Group B = 1.10% and Group C = 0.70%; and 91 total days in the rider quarter.
Example 1: Calculation at rider issue for the first quarter fee. The rider fee is:
= 100,000 * [(50,000*0.0145) + (30,000*0.0110) + (20,000*0.0070)] / 100,000 * (91/365)
= 100,000 * (725 + 330 + 140) / 100,000 * (91/365)
= 100,000 * 1,195/100,000 * (91/365)
= 1,195 * (91/365)
= $297.93
We will assess a prorated rider fee upon full surrender of the policy or other termination of the rider for the period beginning on the first day of the most recent rider quarter and ending on the date of termination.
Beginning on the fifth rider anniversary, the rider fee percentage may increase (or decrease) at the time of an automatic step-up. Each time an automatic step-up will result in a rider fee percentage increase, you will have the option to reject the automatic step-up and reinstate the withdrawal base and rider fee percentage to their respective amounts immediately before the automatic step-up (adjusted
58

for any subsequent premium payments or withdrawals), provided that you do so within 30 calendar days after the rider anniversary on which the automatic step-up occurred. We must receive your rejection, in good order, at our Administrative Office within the 30 day period after the rider anniversary on which the automatic step-up occurred.
Please note regarding the base rider fee:
Because the base rider fee is a percentage of the withdrawal base, it could be a much higher percentage of your policy value, particularly in the event that your policy value decreases significantly.
Because the base rider fee is a percentage of the withdrawal base, the amount of the base rider fee we deduct will increase if the withdrawal base increases (although the percentage(s) may remain the same).
If you make a transfer from one designated allocation group to another designated allocation group that has a higher rider fee percentage, then the resulting rider fee will be higher.
Base Rider Fee Adjustment for Premium Payments and Excess Withdrawals. A rider fee adjustment will be calculated for subsequent premium payments and excess withdrawals because these events will change the withdrawal base. The rider fee adjustment may be positive or negative and will be added to or subtracted from the rider fee to be collected.
The following example uses these assumed values: All initial values as in Example 1; Subsequent Premium = $10,000, allocated such that Group A = $5,000, Group B = $3,000, and Group C = $2,000; and 30 remaining days in the rider quarter.
Example 2: Calculation of the first quarter rider fee adjustment for a subsequent premium. The fee adjustment is:
= 10,000 * [(5,000*0.0145) + (3,000*0.0110) + (2,000*0.0070)] / 10,000 * (30/365)
= 10,000 * (72.50 + 33 + 14) / 10,000 * (30/365)
= 10,000 * 119.50/10,000 * (30/365)
= 119.50 * (30/365)
= $9.82
Total fee assessed at end of first rider quarter (assuming no further fee adjustments):
= 297.93 + 9.82
= $307.75
We will also deduct all rider fees pro rata upon full surrender of the policy or other termination of the rider.
Base Rider Fee Adjustment for Transfers. For transfers that you make between different designated investment options in different designated allocation groups on other than the first market day of a rider quarter, a rider fee adjustment will be applied. This adjustment is necessary because of differences in the rider fee percentages. The adjustment in the rider fee percentage will ensure that you are charged the correct overall rider fee for that quarter. The rider fee adjustment may be positive or negative and will be added to or subtracted from the rider fee to be collected.
The following example uses these assumed values: All initial values as in Example 1, as well as a subsequent premium payment as in Example 2; Withdrawal Base = $110,000; Policy Value = $90,000; Fund Transfer from Group A = $5,000, into Group B = $3,000, and into Group C = $2,000; and 15 remaining days in the rider quarter.
Example 3: Calculation of the first quarter rider fee adjustment for a fund transfer. The fee adjustment is:
= 110,000 * [(-5,000*0.0145) + (3,000*0.0110) + (2,000*0.0070)] / 90,000 * (15/365)
= 110,000 * (-72.50 + 33 + 14) / 90,000 * (15/365)
= 110,000 * -25.50/90,000 * (15/365)
= -31.17 * (15/365)
= $-1.28
Total fee assessed at end of the first rider quarter (assuming no further rider fee adjustments):
= 307.75 - 1.28
= $306.47
Additional Option Fees. If you elect options with this rider, then you will be charged a fee for each option you elect that is in addition to the rider fee for the base benefit. Each additional fee is charged quarterly before annuitization and is a percentage of the withdrawal base on each rider anniversary.
We will also deduct all rider fees, including additional option fees, pro rata upon surrender of the policy or other termination of the rider.

Retirement Income Choice® 1.6 Rider Issue Requirements
We will not issue the Retirement Income Choice® 1.6 rider if:
the annuitant is 86 or older (lower if required by state law);
the annuitant is not an owner (except in the case of non-natural owners);
there are more than two owners; and
the joint life option is elected, and the annuitant’s spouse is 86 or older (lower if required by state law) and (1) is not a joint owner along with the annuitant or (2) is not the sole primary beneficiary (and there is no joint owner).
The use of joint life option may not be permitted in the case of certain non-natural owners.
Termination
The Retirement Income Choice® 1.6 rider and any additional options will terminate upon the earliest of the following:
the date we receive written notice from you requesting termination of the rider if such notice is received before midnight of the 30th calendar day after you receive the rider;
the date we receive written notice from you requesting termination or manual reset of the rider if such notice is received by us during the 30 days following the fifth rider anniversary or every fifth rider anniversary thereafter;
the death of the annuitant (or if the joint life option was elected, the death of the annuitant’s spouse if that spouse was eligible to and elected to continue the policy as the surviving spouse);
annuitization (however, if you have reached your maximum annuity commencement date you may choose an annuitization option which guarantees you lifetime payments in an amount equal to your rider withdrawal amount);
the date the policy to which this rider is attached is assigned or if the owner is changed without our approval;
the date an excess withdrawal reduces your policy value to zero; or
termination of your policy.
Please note: This rider terminates upon annuitization and there is a maximum annuity commencement date at which time your policy will be annuitized according to its terms. However, if you have reached your maximum annuity commencement date, we will allow you to annuitize your policy and elect to receive lifetime annuity payments which are at least equal to your rider withdrawal amount (this option also guarantees that if the annuitant dies before the sum of all annuity payments equals the policy value, and rider benefit if elected, on the maximum annuity commencement date, the annuitant's beneficiary will receive a final payment equal to the difference). Please contact us for more information concerning your options.
The Retirement Income Choice® 1.6 rider and additional options may vary for certain policies and may not be available for all policies, in all states, at all times or through all financial intermediaries. We may discontinue offering this benefit at any time. In some cases, a benefit not available through a financial intermediary may be obtained by contacting us directly. For more information on the options for electing a benefit, please contact your financial intermediary or our Administrative Office.

Ownership
You, as owner of the policy, exercise all rights under the policy. You can generally change the owner at any time by notifying us in writing at our Administrative Office. There may be limitations on your ability to change the ownership of a qualified policy. An ownership change may be a taxable event.
Beneficiary
The beneficiary designation will remain in effect until changed. The owner may change the designated beneficiary by sending us written notice. The beneficiary's consent to such change is not required unless the beneficiary was irrevocably designated or law requires consent. (If an irrevocable beneficiary dies, the owner may then designate a new beneficiary.) We will not be liable for any payment made before the written notice is received in our Administrative Office. If more than one beneficiary is designated, and the owner fails to specify their interests, they will share equally. If, upon the death of the annuitant, there is a surviving owner(s), then the surviving owner(s) automatically takes the place of any beneficiary designation.
Right to Cancel Period
You may return your policy for a refund, but only if you return it within a prescribed period, which is generally 10 days after you receive the policy (for replacements the right to cancel period is generally 30 days), or whatever longer time may be required by state law. The amount of the refund will generally be the premiums paid plus or minus accumulated gains or losses in the separate account. You bear the risk of any decline in policy value during the right to cancel period. However, if state law requires, we will refund your original premium payment(s). We will pay the refund within seven days after we receive in good order within the applicable period at our Administrative Office, written notice of cancellation and the returned policy. The policy will then be deemed void.
Assignment
You can also generally assign the policy any time during your lifetime. We will not be bound by the assignment until we receive written notice of the assignment in good order at our Administrative Office and approve it. We reserve the right, except to the extent prohibited by applicable laws, regulations, or actions of the State insurance commissioner, to require that an assignment will be effective only upon acceptance by us, and to refuse assignments or transfers at any time on a non-discriminatory basis. We will not be liable for any payment or other action we take in accordance with the policy before we approve the assignment. There may be limitations on your ability to assign a qualified policy. An assignment may have tax consequences.
Termination for Low Value
If a partial surrender or fee (including an optional rider fee, administrative fee, or owner transaction fee) reduces your cash value below the minimum specified in your policy, we reserve the right to terminate your policy and send you a full distribution of your remaining cash value. All benefits associated with your annuity policy will be terminated. Federal law may impose restrictions on our
61

right to terminate certain qualified policies. We do not currently anticipate exercising this right if you have certain optional benefits, however, we reserve the right to do so. For all other policies, including policies with certain other optional benefits, we intend to exercise this termination provision.
Sending Forms and Transaction Requests in Good Order
We cannot process your requests for transactions relating to the policy until they are received in good order. “Good order” means the actual receipt of the instructions relating to the requested transaction in writing (or, when appropriate, by telephone or electronically), along with all forms, information and supporting legal documentation necessary to effect the transaction. This information and documentation generally includes, to the extent applicable to the transaction: your completed application; the policy number; the transaction amount (in dollars or percentage terms); the names and allocations to and/or from the Subaccounts affected by the requested transaction; the signatures of all policy owners (exactly as registered on the Policy) if necessary; Social Security Number or Taxpayer I.D.; and any other information or supporting documentation that we may require, including any spousal or joint owner's consents. With respect to purchase requests, “good order” also generally includes receipt of sufficient funds to effect the purchase. We may, in our sole discretion, determine whether any particular transaction request is in good order, and we reserve the right to change or waive any good order requirements at any time.
“Received” or receipt in good order generally means that everything necessary must be received by us, at our Administrative Office specified in the Glossary of Terms. We reserve the right to reject electronic transactions that do not meet our requirements.
Regulatory Modifications to Policy
We reserve the right to amend the policy or any riders attached thereto as necessary to comply with specific direction provided by state or federal regulators, through change of law, rule, regulation, bulletin, regulatory directives or agreements.
Certain Offers
From time to time, we have (and we may again) offered you some form of payment or incentive in return for terminating or modifying certain guaranteed benefits.
When we make an offer, we may vary the offer amount, up or down, among the same group of policy owners based on certain criteria such as account value, the difference between account value and any applicable benefit base, investment allocations and the amount and type of withdrawals taken. For example, for guaranteed benefits that have benefit bases that can be reduced on either a pro rata or dollar-for-dollar basis depending on the amount of withdrawals taken, we may consider whether you have taken any withdrawal that has caused a pro rata reduction in your benefit base, as opposed to a dollar-for-dollar reduction. Also, we may increase or decrease offer amounts from offer to offer. In other words, we may make an offer to a group of policy owners based on an offer amount, and, in the future, make another offer based on a higher or lower offer amount to the remaining policy owners in the same group.
If you accept an offer that requires you to terminate a guaranteed benefit and you retain your policy, we will no longer charge you for it, and you will not be eligible for any future offers related to that type of guaranteed benefit, even if such future offer would have included a greater offer amount or different payment or incentive.
Mixed and Shared Funding
The underlying fund portfolios may serve as investment vehicles for variable life insurance policies, variable annuity policies and retirement plans (“mixed funding”) and shares of the underlying fund portfolios also may be sold to separate accounts of other insurance companies (“shared funding”). While we currently do not foresee any disadvantages to owners and participants arising from either mixed or shared funding, it is possible that the interests of owners of various policies and/or participants in various plans for which the underlying fund portfolios serve as investments might at some time be in conflict. We and each underlying fund portfolio’s Board of Directors intend to monitor events in order to identify any material conflicts and to determine what action, if any, to take. Such action could include the sale of underlying fund portfolio shares by one or more of the separate accounts, which could have adverse consequences. Such action could also include a decision that separate funds should be established for variable life and variable annuity separate accounts. In such an event, we would bear the attendant expenses, but owners and plan participants would no longer have the economies of scale resulting from a larger combined fund. Please read the prospectuses for the underlying fund portfolios, which discuss the underlying fund portfolios’ risks regarding mixed and shared funding, as applicable.
Exchanges and/or Reinstatements
You can generally exchange a nonqualified annuity policy for another in a “tax-free exchange” under Section 1035 of the Internal Revenue Code or transfer qualified policies directly to another life insurance company as a “trustee-to-trustee transfer”. Before making an exchange or transfer, you should compare both annuities carefully. Remember that if you exchange or transfer another annuity for
62

the one described in this prospectus, then you may pay a surrender charge on the other annuity, and there may be a new surrender charge period under this annuity and other charges may be higher (or lower) and the benefits under this annuity may be different. You should not exchange or transfer another annuity for this one unless you determine, after knowing all the facts, that the exchange or transfer is in your best interest and not just better for the person trying to sell you this policy (that person will generally earn a commission if you buy this policy through an exchange, transfer or otherwise).
You may ask us to reinstate your policy after such an exchange, transfer or full or partial surrender and in certain limited circumstances we will allow you to do so by returning the same total dollar amount of funds distributed to the applicable investment options. The dollar amount will be used to purchase new accumulation units at the then current price. Because of changes in market value, your new accumulation units may be worth more or less than the units you previously owned. Generally, unless you return the original company check, your annuity policy is nonqualified and a portion of the prior withdrawal was taxable, we are required to report the taxable amount from the distribution to the IRS even though the funds have been reinstated. The cost basis will be adjusted accordingly. The taxable amount will be reported on Form 1099-R which you will receive in January of the year following the distribution. We recommend that you consult a tax professional to explain the possible tax consequences of reinstatements.
Voting Rights
To the extent required by law, we will vote all shares of the underlying fund portfolios held in the separate account in accordance with instructions we receive from you and/or other individuals that have voting interests in the portfolios. We will send you and/or other individuals requests for instructions on how to vote those shares. When we receive those instructions, we will vote all of the shares in proportion to those instructions. Accordingly, it is possible for a small number of owners (assuming there is a quorum) to determine the outcome of a vote, especially if they have large policy values. If, however, we determine that we are permitted to vote the shares in our own right, we may do so.
Each person having a voting interest will receive proxy material, reports, and other materials relating to the appropriate portfolio.
Abandoned or Unclaimed Property
Every state has unclaimed property laws that generally provide for escheatment to the state of unclaimed property (including proceeds of annuity, life and other insurance policies) under various circumstances. In addition to the state unclaimed property laws, we may be required to escheat property pursuant to regulatory demand, finding, agreement or settlement. To help prevent such escheatment, it is important that you keep your contact and other information on file with us up to date, including the names, contact information and identifying information for owners, insureds, annuitants, beneficiaries and other payees. Such updates should be communicated in a form and manner satisfactory to us.
Legal Proceedings
We, like other life insurance companies, are subject to regulatory and legal proceedings, including class action lawsuits, in the ordinary course of our business. Such legal and regulatory matters include proceedings specific to us and other proceedings generally applicable to business practices in the industry in which we operate. In some lawsuits and regulatory proceedings involving insurers, substantial damages have been sought and/or material settlement payments have been made. Although the outcome of any litigation or regulatory proceeding cannot be predicted with certainty, at the present time, we believe that there are no pending or threatened proceedings or lawsuits that are likely to have a material adverse impact on the separate account, on TCI's ability to perform under its principal underwriting agreement, or on our ability to meet our obligations under the policy.
We are currently being audited on behalf of multiple states' treasury and controllers' offices for compliance with laws and regulations concerning the identification, reporting and escheatment of unclaimed benefits or abandoned funds. The audits focus on insurance company processes and procedures for identifying unreported death claims, and their use of the Social Security Master Death File to identify deceased policy and policy holders. In addition, we are the subject of multiple state Insurance Department inquiries and market conduct examinations with a similar focus on the handling of unreported claims and abandoned property. The audits and related examination activity have resulted in or may result in additional payments to beneficiaries, escheatment of funds deemed abandoned, administrative penalties and changes in our procedures for the identification of unreported claims and handling of escheatable property. We do not believe that any regulatory actions or agreements that have resulted from or will result from these examinations has had or will have a material adverse impact on the separate account, on TCI's ability to perform under its principal underwriting agreement, or on our ability to meet our obligations under the policy.

Cyber Security
Our variable product business is highly dependent upon the effective operation of our computer systems and those of our business partners. Consequently, our business is potentially susceptible to operational and information security risks resulting from a cyber-attack. These risks include, among other things, the theft, misuse, corruption and destruction of data maintained online or digitally, denial of service attacks on websites and other operational disruption and unauthorized release of confidential customer information. Cyber-attacks affecting us, any third party administrator, the underlying funds, intermediaries and other affiliated or third-party service provides may adversely affect us and your policy value. For instance, cyber-attacks may: interfere with our processing of policy transactions, including the processing of orders from our website or with the underlying funds; cause the release and possible destruction of confidential customer or business information; impede order processing; subject us and/or our service providers and intermediaries to regulatory fines and financial losses; and/or cause reputational damage. Cyber security risks may also affect the issuers of securities in which the underlying funds invest, which may cause the underlying funds to lose value. There can be no assurance that we, the underlying funds or our service providers will avoid losses affecting your policy that result from cyber-attacks or information security breaches.

Information About Us
We are engaged in the sale of life and health insurance and annuity policies. Transamerica Life Insurance Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Iowa on April 19, 1961 as NN Investors Life Insurance Company Inc. and is licensed in all states and the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. We are a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Transamerica Corporation which conducts most of its operations through subsidiary companies engaged in the insurance business or in providing non-insurance financial services. All of the stock of Transamerica Corporation is indirectly owned by Aegon N.V. of The Netherlands, the securities of which are publicly traded. Aegon N.V., a holding company, conducts its business through subsidiary companies engaged primarily in the insurance business.
All obligations arising under the policies, including the promise to make annuity payments, are general corporate obligations of ours. Accordingly, no financial institution, brokerage firm or insurance agency is responsible for our financial obligations arising under the policies.
Financial Condition
We pay benefits under your policy from our general account assets and/or from your policy value held in the separate account. It is important that you understand that payments of the benefits are not assured and depend upon certain factors discussed below.
Assets in the Separate Account. You assume all of the investment risk for your policy value that is allocated to the subaccounts of the separate account. Your policy value in those subaccounts constitutes a portion of the assets of the separate account. These assets are segregated and insulated from our general account, and may not be charged with liabilities arising from any other business that we may conduct.
Assets in the General Account. You also may be permitted to make allocations to guaranteed period options of the fixed account, which are supported by the assets in our general account. Any guarantees under a policy that exceed policy value, such as those associated with any lifetime withdrawal benefit riders and any optional death benefits, are paid from our general account (and not the separate account). Therefore, any amounts that we may be obligated to pay under the policy in excess of policy value are subject to our financial strength and claims-paying ability and our long-term ability to make such payments. The assets of the separate account, however, are also available to cover the liabilities of our general account, but only to the extent that the separate account assets exceed the separate account liabilities arising under the policies supported by it.
We issue other types of insurance policies and financial products as well, and we also pay our obligations under these products from our assets in the general account.
As an insurance company, we are required by state insurance regulation to hold a specified amount of reserves in order to meet all the contractual obligations of our general account. In order to meet our claims-paying obligation we monitor our reserves so that we hold sufficient amounts to cover actual or expected policy and claims payments. In addition, we hedge our investments in our general account, and may require purchasers of certain of the variable insurance products that we offer to allocate premium payments and policy value in accordance with specified investment requirements. However, it is important to note that there is no guarantee that we will always be able to meet our claims-paying obligations, and that there are risks to purchasing any insurance product.
64

State insurance regulators also require insurance companies to maintain a minimum amount of capital, which acts as a cushion in the event that the insurer suffers a financial impairment, based on the inherent risks in the insurer’s operations. These risks include those associated with losses that we may incur as the result of defaults on the payment of interest or principal on our general account assets, which include bonds, mortgages, general real estate investments, and stocks, as well as the loss in market value of these investments. We may also experience liquidity risk if our general account assets cannot be readily converted into cash to meet obligations to our policy owners or to provide the collateral necessary to finance our business operations.
How to Obtain More Information. We encourage both existing and prospective policy owners to read and understand our financial statements. We prepare our financial statements on a statutory basis. Our financial statements, which are presented in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Iowa Department of Insurance as well as the financial statements of the separate account are located in the Statement of Additional Information (SAI). For a free copy of the SAI, simply call or write us at the phone number or address of our Administrative Office referenced in this prospectus. In addition, the SAI is available on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov. Our financial strength ratings which reflect the opinions of leading independent rating agencies of our ability to meet our obligations to our policy owners, are available on our website (https://www.transamerica.com/individual/what-we-do/about-us/financial-strength/), and the websites of these nationally recognized statistical ratings organizations A.M. Best Company (www.ambest.com), Moody’s Investors Service (www.moodys.com), Standard & Poor’s Rating Services (www.standardandpoors.com) and Fitch, Inc. (www.fitchratings.com).
The Separate Account
The separate account receives and invests the premium payments that are allocated to it for investment in shares of the underlying fund portfolios. The separate account is registered with the SEC as a unit investment trust under the 1940 Act. However, the SEC does not supervise the management, the investment practices, or the policies of the separate account or us. Income, gains and losses (whether or not realized), from assets allocated to the separate account are, in accordance with the policies, credited to or charged against the separate account without regard to our other income, gains or losses.
The assets of the separate account are held in our name on behalf of the separate account and belong to us. However, those assets that underlie the policies are not chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business we may conduct. The separate account may include other subaccounts that are not available under these policies. We do not guarantee the investment results of the Separate Account.
The Funds
At the time you purchase your policy, you may allocate your premium to subaccounts. These are subdivisions of our separate account, an account that keeps your policy assets separate from our company assets. The subaccounts then purchase shares of mutual funds set up exclusively for variable annuity or variable life insurance products. These are not the same mutual funds that you buy through your investment professional even though they may have similar investment strategies and the same portfolio managers. Each underlying fund portfolio has varying degrees of investment risk. Underlying fund portfolios are also subject to separate fees and expenses such as management fees and operating expenses. “Master-feeder” or “fund of funds” invest substantially all of their assets in other funds and will therefor bear a pro-rata share of fees and expenses incurred by both funds. This will reduce your investment return. Read the underlying fund portfolio prospectuses carefully before investing. We do not guarantee the investment results of any underlying fund portfolio. Certain underlying fund portfolios may not be available in all states and in all share classes. Please see “Appendix - Portfolios Associated with the Subaccounts” for additional information.
Other Transamerica Policies
We offer a variety of fixed and variable annuity policies. They may offer features, including investment options, and have fees and charges, that are different from those in the policy offered by this Prospectus. Not every policy we issue is offered through every financial intermediary. Some financial intermediaries may not offer and/or limit the offering of certain features or options, as well as limit the availability of the policies, based on issue age, or other criteria established by the financial intermediary. Upon request, your financial professional can show you information regarding other Transamerica annuity policies that he or she distributes. You can also contact us to find out more about the availability of any of the Transamerica annuity policies.
You should work with your financial professional to decide whether this policy is appropriate for you based on a thorough analysis of your particular insurance needs, financial objectives, investment goals, time horizons and risk tolerance.
65

Distribution of the Policies
Distribution and Principal Underwriting Agreement. We have entered into a principal underwriting agreement with our affiliate, Transamerica Capital, Inc. (TCI), for the distribution and sale of the policies. We pay commissions to TCI which are passed through to selling firms. (See below). We also pay TCI an “override” that is a percentage of total commissions paid on sales of our policies which is not passed through to the selling firms and we may reimburse TCI for certain expenses it incurs in order to pay for the distribution of the policies. TCI markets the policies through bank affiliated firms, national brokerage firms, regional and independent broker-dealers and independent financial planners.
Compensation to Broker-Dealers Selling the Policies. The policies are offered to the public through broker-dealers (“selling firms”) that are licensed under the federal securities laws; the selling firm and/or its affiliates are also licensed under state insurance laws. The selling firms have entered into written selling agreements with us and with TCI as principal underwriter for the policies. We pay commissions through TCI to the selling firms for their sales of the policies.
A limited number of affiliated and unaffiliated broker-dealers were paid commissions and overrides to “wholesale” the policies, that is, to provide sales support and training to sales representatives at the selling firms. We also provide compensation to a limited number of broker-dealers for providing ongoing service in relation to the policies that have already been purchased.
The selling firms that have selling agreements with us and TCI are paid commissions for the promotion and sale of the policies according to one or more schedules. The amount and timing of commissions may vary depending on the selling agreement, and the share purchased, but the commission range is from 1.15% up to 7% of premium payments (additional amounts may be paid as overrides to wholesalers).
To the extent permitted by Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) rules, TCI may pay (or allow other broker-dealers to provide) promotional incentives or payments in the form of cash or non-cash compensation or reimbursement to some, but not all, selling firms and their sales representatives. These arrangements are sometimes referred to as “revenue sharing” arrangements and are described further below.
The sales representative who sells you the policy typically receives a portion of the compensation we (and our affiliates) pay to the selling firms, depending on the agreement between the selling firm and its registered representative and the firm's internal compensation program. These programs may include other types of cash and non-cash compensation and other benefits. Ask your sales representative for further information about the compensation your sales representative, and the selling firm that employs your sales representative, may receive in connection with your purchase of a policy. Also inquire about any revenue sharing arrangements that we and our affiliates may have with the selling firm, including the conflicts of interests that such arrangements may create.
You should be aware that a selling firm or its sales representatives may receive different compensation or incentives for selling one product over another. In some cases, these differences may create an incentive for the selling firm or its sales representatives to recommend or sell this policy to you. You may wish to take such incentives into account when considering and evaluating any recommendation relating to the policies.
Special Compensation Paid to Affiliated Firms. We and/or our affiliates provide paid-in capital to TCI and pay the cost of TCI's operating and other expenses, including costs for facilities, legal and accounting services, and other internal administrative functions. We and/or our affiliates also provide TCI with a percentage of total commissions paid on sales of our policies and provide TCI with capital payments that are not contingent on sales.
TCI's registered representatives and supervisors may receive non-cash compensation, such as attendance at conferences, seminars and trips (such as travel, lodging and meals in connection therewith), entertainment, merchandise and other similar items, payments, loans, loan forgiveness or loan guarantees.
Additional Compensation That We, TCI and/or Our Affiliates Pay to Selected Selling Firms. TCI, in connection with the sales of the policies, may pay certain selling firms additional cash amounts for “preferred product” treatment of the policies in their marketing programs in order to receive enhanced marketing services and increased access to their sales representatives. In exchange for providing TCI with access to their distribution network, such selling firms may receive additional compensation or reimbursement for, among other things, the hiring and training of sales personnel, marketing, sponsoring of conferences, meetings, seminars, events, and/or other services they provide to us and our affiliates. To the extent permitted by applicable law, TCI and other parties may provide the selling firms with occasional gifts, meals, tickets or other non-cash compensation as an incentive to sell the policies. These special compensation arrangements are not offered to all selling firms and the terms of such arrangements may differ among selling firms.
66

In addition, TCI paid selling firms other special fees based on new sales and/or assets under management. During 2014, TCI had such “preferred product” arrangements with at least 52 broker-dealers and other financial intermediaries. Some of the more significant entities were:
AXA Network, LLC • BBVA Securities, Inc. • Cambridge Investment Research, Inc. • CCO Investments • Centarus Financial, Inc. •  Cetera Advisors LLC• Cetera Advisors Networks LLC• Cetera Financial Specialists LLC • Cetera Investment Services LLC• CFD Investments, Inc. • Commonwealth Financial Network • Edward D. Jones & Co., L.P. • Equity Services, Inc. • Fifth Third Securities, Inc. • First Allied Holdings, Inc. • FSC Securities Corporation • Gary Goldberg & Company, Inc. • Hantz Financial Services, Inc. •  Invest Financial Corporation • Investacorp, Inc. • Investment Centers of America, Inc. • James T. Borello & Co, • Janney Montgomery Scott, LLC • LPL Financial, LLC. • M&T Securities Product Management • Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Inc. • MetLife Securities, Inc. • Money Concepts Capital Corporation • Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, Inc. • National Planning Corporation • New England Securities Corporation • NFP Securities Inc. • Park Avenue Securities, LLC • Raymond James & Associates, Inc. • Raymond James Financial Services, Inc. • Royal Alliance Associates, Inc. • SagePoint Financial, Inc. • Securities America, Inc. • Sigma Financial Corporation • Signator Investors, Inc. • SII Investments, Inc. • SunTrust Investment Services • The Huntington Investment Company • Transamerica Financial Advisors, Inc. • Triad Advisors, Inc. • US Bancorp Investments, Inc. • VOYA Financial Partners, LLC • VSR Financial Services, Inc. • Wells Fargo Advisors, LLC • Wells Fargo Advisors Financial Network LLC •  Wells Fargo Investments LLC • Woodbury Financial
For the calendar year ended December 31, 2014 TCI paid approximately 28,300,000 various brokers and other financial intermediaries in connection with revenue sharing arrangements.
No specific charge is assessed directly to owners or the separate account to cover commissions, non-cash compensation, and other incentives or payments described above. We do intend to recoup commissions and other sales expenses and incentives we pay, however, through fees and charges deducted under the policy and other corporate revenue.

APPENDIX
Excess Interest Adjustment Examples
Surrenders (full and partial), transfers, death benefits and amounts applied to an annuity option, from a guaranteed period option of the fixed account before the end of its guaranteed period (the number of years you specified the money would remain in the guaranteed period option) may be subject to an excess interest adjustment (“EIA”). If, at the time of such transactions the guaranteed interest rate set by us for the applicable period has risen since the date of the initial guarantee, the excess interest adjustment will result in a lower cash value. However, if the guaranteed interest rate set by us for the applicable period has fallen since the date of the initial guarantee, the excess interest adjustment will result in a higher cash value.
Excess interest adjustments will not reduce the adjusted policy value for a guaranteed period option below the premium payments and transfers to that guaranteed period option, less any prior partial surrenders and transfers from the guaranteed period option, plus interest at the policy's minimum guaranteed effective annual interest rate. This is referred to as the excess interest adjustment floor.
The formula that will be used to determine the excess interest adjustment is:
S* (G-C)* (M/12)
S = Is the amount (before surrender charges, premium taxes and the application of any Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefits, if any) being surrendered, withdrawn, transferred, paid upon death, or applied to an income option that is subject to the excess interest adjustment.
G = Is the guaranteed interest rate for the guaranteed period applicable to “S”;
C = Is the current guaranteed interest rate then being offered on new premium payments for the next longer option period than “M”. If this policy form or such an option period is no longer offered, “C” will be the U.S. Treasury rate for the next longer maturity (in whole years) than “M” on the 25th day of the previous calendar month; and
M = Number of months remaining in the current option period for “S”, rounded up to the next higher whole number of months.
* = multiplication
The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and are calculated using hypothetical values. Your experience will vary based on circumstances at the time of withdrawal. In the following examples ^ denotes exponentiation. Please note the exponentiation represents the compounding of the interest rate.

Excess Interest Adjustment Examples — (Continued)
Example 1 (Full Surrender, rates increase by 3%):
Assumptions:
Single premium payment = $50,000
Guarantee period = 5 Years

Surrender in the middle of policy year 2
Summary:  
Policy value at middle of policy year 2 = 50,000.00 * (1.055) ^ 1.5 = 54,181.21
Cumulative earnings = 54,181.21 50,000.00 = 4,181.21
Amount free of excess interest adjustment = 4,181.21
Amount subject to excess interest adjustment = 54,181.21 4,181.21 = 50,000.00
Excess interest adjustment floor = 50,000.00 * (1.015) ^ 1.5 = 51,129.21
Excess interest adjustment S*(G-C)*(M/12) where: G = .055
C = .085
M = 42
  = -5,250.00, but excess interest adjustment cannot cause the adjusted policy value to fall below the excess interest adjustment floor, so the adjustment is limited to
51,129.21 - 54,181.21 = -3,052.00
Adjusted policy value = policy value + excess interest adjustment = 54,181.21 + (-3,052.00) = 51,129.21
Upon full surrender of the policy, the net surrender value (adjusted policy value less any surrender charge) will never be less than that required by the non-forfeiture laws of your state.
Example 2 (Full Surrender, rates decrease by 1%):
Assumptions:
Single premium payment = $50,000
Guarantee period = 5 Years
Guarantee rate = 5.5% per annum
Guaranteed minimum interest rate = 1.50%
Surrender in the middle of policy year 2
Summary:  
Policy value at middle of policy year 2 = 50,000.00 * (1.055) ^ 1.5 = 54,181.21
Cumulative earnings = 54,181.21 50,000.00 = 4,181.21
Amount free of excess interest adjustment = 4,181.21
Amount subject to excess interest adjustment = 54,181.21 4,181.21 = 50,000.00
Excess interest adjustment floor = 50,000.00 * (1.015) ^ 1.5 = 51,129.21
Excess interest adjustment S* (G-C)* (M/12) where: G = .055
C = .045
M = 42
= 50,000.00 * (.055-.045) * (42/12) = 1,750.00
Adjusted policy value = 54,181.21 + 1,750.00 = 55,931.21
Upon full surrender of the policy, the net surrender value will never by less than that required by the non-forfeiture laws of your state. For the purpose of these illustrations no surrender charges are assumed.

Excess Interest Adjustment Examples — (Continued)
On a partial surrender, we will pay the policyholder the full amount of surrender requested (as long as the policy value is sufficient). Amounts surrendered will reduce the policy value by an amount equal to:
R - E + SC
R = the requested partial surrender;
E = the excess interest adjustment; and
SC = the surrender charges on (EPW - E): where
EPW = the excess partial withdrawal amount.
Example 3 (Partial Surrender, rates increase by 1%):
Assumptions:
Single premium payment = $50,000
Guarantee period = 5 Years
Guarantee rate = 5.5% per annum
Partial Surrender of $20,000 in the middle of policy year 2
Summary:  
Policy value at middle of policy year 2 = 50,000.00 * (1.055) ^ 1.5 = 54,181.21
Cumulative earnings = 54,181.21 50,000.00 = 4,181.21
Amount free of excess interest adjustment = 4,181.21
Excess interest adjustment S*(G-C)*(M/12) where: S = 20,000 4,181.21 = 15,818.79
G = .055
C = .065
M = 42
= 15,818.79 * (.055 - .065) * (42/12) = -553.66
Remaining policy value at middle of policy year 2 = 54,181.21 - (R - E + surrender charge)
= 54,181.21 - (20,000.00 - (-553.66) + 0.00) = 33,627.55
Example 4 (Partial Surrender, rates decrease by 1%):
Assumptions:
Single premium payment = $50,000
Guarantee period = 5 Years
Guarantee rate = 5.5% per annum
Partial Surrender of $20,000 in the middle of policy year 2
Summary:  
Policy value at middle of policy year 2 = 50,000.00 * (1.055) ^ 1.5 = 54,181.21
Cumulative earnings = 54,181.21 50,000.00 = 4,181.21
Amount free of excess interest adjustment = 4,181.21
Excess interest adjustment S*(G-C)*(M/12) where: S = 20,000 4,181.21 = 15,818.79
G = .055

= 15,818.79 * (.055 - .045)* (42/12) = 553.66
Remaining policy value at middle of policy year 2 = 54,181.21 - (R - E + surrender charge)
= 54,181.21 - (20,000.00 553.66 + 0.00) = 34,734.87

APPENDIX
Death Benefit
Adjusted Withdrawals. If you make a partial surrender (withdrawal), then your guaranteed minimum death benefit is reduced by an amount called the adjusted withdrawal. The amount of the reduction depends on the relationship between your death proceeds and policy value. The adjusted withdrawal is equal to the gross withdrawal multiplied by the death proceeds immediately prior to the withdrawal divided by the policy value immediately prior to the withdrawal. The formula is AW = GW x (DP/PV) where:
AW = adjusted withdrawal
GW= gross withdrawal
DP = death proceeds prior to the withdrawal = greatest of (PV, CV, or GMDB)
PV = policy value prior to the withdrawal
GMDB = guaranteed minimum death benefit prior to the withdrawal
CV = cash value prior to the withdrawal
The following examples describe the effect of a surrender on the guaranteed minimum death benefit and policy value.
Example 1: Death Proceeds Greater than Policy Value
Assumptions:
GMDB = $75,000
PV = $50,000
DP = $75,000
GW = $15,494
AW = $15,494 x ($75,000/$50,000) = $23,241
Summary:  
Reduction in guaranteed minimum death benefit =$23,241
Reduction in policy value =$15,494
New guaranteed minimum death benefit amount =$51,759
New policy value (after withdrawal) =$34,506
The guaranteed minimum death benefit is reduced more than the policy value because the guaranteed minimum death benefit was greater than the policy value immediately prior to the withdrawal.
Example 2: Death Proceeds Equal to Policy Value
Assumptions:
GMDB = $50,000
PV = $75,000
DP = $75,000
GW = $15,494
AW = $15,494 x ($75,000/$75,000) = $15,494
Summary:  
Reduction in guaranteed minimum death benefit =$15,494
Reduction in policy value =$15,494
New guaranteed minimum death benefit amount =$34,506
New policy value (after withdrawal) =$59,506
The guaranteed minimum death benefit and policy value are reduced by the same amount because the policy value was greater than the guaranteed minimum death benefit immediately prior to the withdrawal.
These examples are for illustrative purposes only. The purpose of these illustrations is to demonstrate how this feature is calculated using hypothetical values. Your experience will vary based on circumstances at the time of withdrawal.

Death Benefit — (Continued)
Hypothetical Example
In this example, certain death benefit values at various points in time are depicted based on hypothetical assumed rates of performance. This example is for illustrative purposes only and assumes a single $100,000 premium payment by a sole owner and annuitant who is age 50. It further assumes no subsequent premium payments or withdrawals. The difference between the two “Policy Value” columns is the fee for the guaranteed minimum death benefit.

* The assumed rate does reflect the deduction of a hypothetical fund fee but does not reflect the deduction of any other fees, charges or taxes. The death benefit values do reflect the deduction of hypothetical base policy fees and hypothetical death benefit fees. For purposes of this example we assumed a Mortality and Expense Risk Fee and Administrative Charge of 1.15% for Policy Value, 1.30% for Return of Premium and 1.50% for Annual Step-Up. Different hypothetical returns and fees would produce different results.

APPENDIX
ADDITIONAL DEATH DISTRIBUTION RIDER
The following example illustrates the Additional Death Distribution additional death benefit payable by this rider as well as the effect of a partial surrender on the Additional Death Distribution benefit amount. The annuitant is less than age 71 on the Rider Date.
Example 1
Assumptions:
Policy value on the rider date = $100,000
Premiums paid after the rider date before surrender = $25,000
Gross partial surrenders after the rider date = $30,000
Policy value on date of surrender = $150,000
Summary:  
Rider earnings on date of surrender (policy value on date of surrender policy value on rider date premiums paid after rider date + surrenders since rider date that exceeded rider earnings = $150,000 - $100,000 - $25,000 + 0): $ 25,000
Amount of surrender that exceeds rider earnings ($30,000 - $25,000): $ 5,000
Base policy death benefit (assumed) on the date of death benefit calculation: $200,000
Policy value on the date of death benefit calculations: $175,000
Rider earnings (= policy value on date of death benefit calculations policy value on rider date premiums since rider date + surrenders since rider date that exceeded rider earnings = $175,000 - $100,000 - $25,000 + $5,000): $ 55,000
Additional death benefit amount (= additional death benefit factor * rider earnings = 40%* $55,000): $ 22,000
Total death benefit paid (= base policy death benefit plus additional death benefit amount): $222,000
Example 2
Assumptions:
Policy value on the rider date = $100,000
Premiums paid after the rider date before surrender = $0
Gross partial surrenders after the rider date = $0
Base policy death benefit (assumed) on the date of death benefit calculation = $100,000
Policy value on the date of death benefit calculations = $75,000
Summary:  
Rider earnings (= policy value on date of death benefit calculations policy value on rider date premiums since rider date + surrenders since rider date that exceeded rider earnings = $75,000 - $100,000 - $0 + $0): $ 0
Additional death benefit amount (= additional death benefit factor * rider earnings = 40%* $0): $ 0
Total death benefit paid (= base policy death benefit plus additional death benefit amount): $100,000

APPENDIX
ADDITIONAL DEATH DISTRIBUTION+ RIDER
Assume the Additional Death Distribution+ is added to a new policy opened with $100,000 initial premium payment. The annuitant is less than age 71 on the rider date. On the first and second rider anniversaries, the policy value is $110,000 and $95,000 respectively when the rider fees are deducted. The annuitant adds a $25,000 premium payment in the 3rd rider year when the policy value is equal to $115,000 and then takes a withdrawal of $35,000 during the 4th rider year when the policy value is equal to $145,000. After 5 years, the policy value is equal to $130,000 and the death proceeds are equal to $145,000.
Example 1
Assumptions:
Account value on rider date (equals initial policy value since new policy) = $100,000
Additional death benefit during first rider year = $0
Rider fee on first rider anniversary (= rider fee * policy value = 0.55% * $110,000) = $605
Additional death benefit during 2nd rider year (= sum of total rider fees paid) = $605
Summary:  
Rider fee on second rider anniversary (= rider fee * policy value = 0.55% * $95,000) $ 522.50
Additional death benefit during 3rd rider year (= sum of total rider fees paid = $605 + $522.50) $ 1,127.50
Rider benefit base in 3rd rider year prior to premium addition (= account value less premiums added since rider date = $115,000 $0) $115,000.00
Rider benefit base in 3rd rider year after premium addition (= $140,000 - $25,000) $115,000.00
Rider benefit base in 4th rider year prior to withdrawal (= account value less premiums added since rider date = $145,000 - $25,000) $120,000.00
Rider benefit base in 4th rider year after withdrawal = (account value less premiums added since rider date =$110,000 - $25,000) $ 85,000.00
Rider benefit base in 5th rider year (= $130,000 - $25,000) $105,000.00
Additional death benefit = rider benefit percentage * rider benefit base = 30% * $105,000 $ 31,500.00
Total death proceeds in 5th rider year (= base policy death proceeds + additional death benefit amount = $145,000 + $31,500) $176,500.00

APPENDIX
GUARANTEED PRINCIPAL SOLUTIONSM RIDER ADJUSTED PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS
The following examples show the effect of withdrawals on the benefits under the Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider.
GUARANTEED MINIMUM ACCUMULATION BENEFIT
Gross partial withdrawals will reduce the guaranteed future value by an amount equal to the greater of:
1)  the gross partial withdrawal amount; and
2)  a pro rata amount, the result of (A / B) * C, where:
A  is the amount of gross partial withdrawal;
B  is the policy value immediately prior to the gross partial withdrawal; and
C  is the guaranteed future value immediately prior to the gross partial withdrawal.
The following demonstrates, on a purely hypothetical basis, the effects of partial withdrawals under the guaranteed minimum accumulation benefit.
Example 1:
Assumptions:
Policy value prior to withdrawal (“PV”) = $90,000
Guaranteed future value prior to withdrawal (“GFV”) = $100,000
Gross withdrawal amount (“WD”) = $10,000
Step One.  What is the pro rata value of the amount withdrawn?
1.  Formula is (WD / PV) * GFV = pro rata amount
2.  ($10,000 / $90,000) * $100,000 = $11,111.11
Step Two.  Which is larger, the $10,000 withdrawal or the $11,111.11 pro rata amount?
$11,111.11 pro rata amount
Step Three.  After the withdrawal is taken, what will be new guaranteed future value?
$100,000 - $11,111.11 = $88,888.89
Result.   If no more withdrawals are taken, the guaranteed future value on the 10th rider anniversary is $88,888.89.
Example 2:
Assumptions:
PV = $120,000
GFV= $100,000
WD= $10,000
Step One.  What is the pro rata value of the amount withdrawn?
1.  Formula is (WD / PV) * GFV = pro rata amount
2.  ($10,000 / $120,000) * $100,000 = $8,333.33
Step Two.  Which is larger, the $10,000 withdrawal or the $8,333.33 pro rata amount?
$10,000 withdrawal
Step Three.  After the withdrawal is taken, what will be new guaranteed future value?
$100,000 - $10,000 = $90,000
Result.   If no more withdrawals are taken, the guaranteed future value on the 10th Rider Anniversary is $90,000.
GUARANTEED LIFETIME WITHDRAWAL BENEFIT
Total Withdrawal Base.  Gross partial withdrawals up to the maximum annual withdrawal amount will not reduce the total withdrawal base. Gross partial withdrawals in excess of the maximum annual withdrawal amount will reduce the total withdrawal base by an amount equal to the greater of:
1)  the excess gross partial withdrawal amount; and
99

GUARANTEED PRINCIPAL SOLUTIONSM RIDER ADJUSTED PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS — (Continued)
2)  a pro rata amount, the result of (A / B) * C, where:
A  is the excess gross partial withdrawal (the amount in excess of the guaranteed annual withdrawal amount remaining prior to the withdrawal);
B  is the policy value after the maximum annual withdrawal amount has been withdrawn, but prior to the withdrawal of the excess amount; and
C  is the total withdrawal base prior to the withdrawal of the excess amount.
Minimum Remaining Withdrawal Amount.  Gross partial withdrawals up to the maximum annual withdrawal amount will reduce the minimum remaining withdrawal amount by the same amount (dollar-for-dollar). Gross partial withdrawals in excess of the maximum annual withdrawal amount will reduce the minimum remaining withdrawal amount by an amount equal to the greater of:
1)  the excess gross partial withdrawal amount; and
2)  a pro rata amount, the result of (A / B) * C, where:
A  is the excess gross partial withdrawal (the amount in excess of the guaranteed annual withdrawal amount remaining prior to the withdrawal);
B  is the policy value after the maximum annual withdrawal amount has been withdrawn, but prior to the withdrawal of the excess amount; and
C  is the minimum remaining withdrawal amount after the maximum annual withdrawal amount has been withdrawn, but prior to the withdrawal of the excess amount.
The following demonstrates, on a purely hypothetical basis, the effects of partial withdrawals under the guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit.
When a withdrawal is taken, three parts of the guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit can be affected:
1.  Minimum remaining withdrawal amount (“MRWA”)
2.  Total withdrawal base (“TWB”)
3.  Maximum annual withdrawal amount (“MAWA”)
Example 1 (7% “principal back”):
Assumptions:
TWB = $100,000
MRWA = $100,000
7% WD would be $7,000 (7% of the current $100,000 total withdrawal base)
WD = $7,000
Excess withdrawal (“EWD”) = None
PV = $100,000
You = Owner and Annuitant (Age 60)
Step One.  Is any portion of the withdrawal greater than the “principal back” maximum annual withdrawal amount?
No.  There is no excess withdrawal under the “principal back” guarantee if no more than $7,000 is withdrawn.
Step Two.  What is the minimum remaining withdrawal amount after the withdrawal has been taken?
1.  Total to deduct from the minimum remaining withdrawal amount is $7,000 (there is no excess to deduct)
2.  $100,000 - $7,000 = $93,000.
Result.  In this example, because no portion of the withdrawal was in excess of $7,000, the “principal back” total withdrawal base does not change and the “principal back” minimum remaining withdrawal amount is $93,000.00.
Example 2 (7% “principal back”):
Assumptions:
TWB = $100,000
MRWA = $100,000
7% WD would be $7,000 (7% of the current $100,000 total withdrawal base)
WD = $8,000
EWD = $1,000 ($8,000 - $7,000)
PV = $90,000
You = Owner and Annuitant (Age 60)

GUARANTEED PRINCIPAL SOLUTIONSM RIDER ADJUSTED PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS — (Continued)
Step One.  Is any portion of the total withdrawal greater than the maximum annual withdrawal amount?
Yes.  $8,000 - $7,000 = $1,000 (the excess withdrawal amount)
Step Two.  Calculate how much of the “principal back” minimum remaining withdrawal amount is affected by the excess withdrawal.
1.  Formula for pro rata amount is: (EWD / (PV - 7% WD)) * (MRWA - 7% WD)
2.  ($1,000 / ($90,000 - $7,000)) * ($100,000 - $7,000) = $1,120.48
Step Three.  Which is larger, the actual $1,000 excess withdrawal amount or the $1,120.48 pro rata amount?
$1,120.48 pro rata amount
Step Four.  What is the “principal back” minimum remaining withdrawal amount after the withdrawal has been taken?
1.  Total to deduct from the minimum remaining withdrawal amount is $7,000 + $1,120.48 (pro rata excess) = $8,120.48
2.  $100,000 - $8,120.48 = $91,879.52
Result.  The “principal back” minimum remaining withdrawal amount is $91,879.52.
NOTE.  For the guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit, because there was an excess withdrawal amount, the total withdrawal base needs to be adjusted as well as a new lower maximum annual withdrawal amount. Had the withdrawal for this example not been more than $7,000, the “principal back” total withdrawal base would remain at $100,000 and the “principal back” maximum annual withdrawal amount would be $7,000. However, because an excess withdrawal has been taken, the total withdrawal base is also changed (this is the amount the 7% is based on).
New “principal back” total withdrawal base:
Step One.  The total withdrawal base is only reduced by the excess withdrawal amount or the pro rata amount if greater.
Step Two.  Calculate how much the total withdrawal base is affected by the excess withdrawal.
1.  The formula is (EWD / (PV - 7% WD)) * TWB before any adjustments
2.  ($1,000 / ($90,000 - $7,000)) * $100,000 = $1,204.82
Step Three.  Which is larger, the actual $1,000 excess withdrawal amount or the $1,204.82 pro rata amount?
$1,204.82 pro rata amount.
Step Four.  What is the new total withdrawal base upon which the maximum annual withdrawal amount is based?
$100,000 - $1,204.82 = $98,795.18
Result.   The new “principal back” total withdrawal base is $98,795.18
New “principal back” maximum annual withdrawal amount:
Because the “principal back” total withdrawal base was adjusted (due to the excess withdrawal) we have to calculate a new maximum annual withdrawal amount for the 7% “principal back” guarantee that will be available starting on the next rider anniversary. This calculation assumes no more activity prior to the next rider anniversary.
Step One.  What is the new “principal back” maximum annual withdrawal amount?
$98,795.18 (the adjusted total withdrawal base) * 7% = $6,915.66
Result.  Going forward, the maximum you can take out in a rider year is $6,915.66 without causing an excess withdrawal for the “principal back” guarantee and further reduction of the “principal back” total withdrawal base.
Example 3 (5% “for life”):
Assumptions:
TWB = $100,000
MRWA = $100,000
5% WD would be $5,000 (5% of the current $100,000 total withdrawal base)
WD = $5,000
Excess withdrawal (“EWD”) = None
PV = $100,000
You = Owner and Annuitant (Age 60)
Step One.  Is any portion of the withdrawal greater than the “for life” maximum annual withdrawal amount?
No.  There is no excess withdrawal under the “for life” guarantee if no more than $5,000 is withdrawn.
101

GUARANTEED PRINCIPAL SOLUTIONSM RIDER ADJUSTED PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS — (Continued)
Step Two.  What is the minimum remaining withdrawal amount after the withdrawal has been taken?
1.  Total to deduct from the minimum remaining withdrawal amount is $5,000 (there is no excess to deduct).
2.  $100,000 - $5,000 = $95,000.
Result.  In this example, because no portion of the withdrawal was in excess of $5,000, the “for life” total withdrawal base does not change and the “for life” minimum remaining withdrawal amount is $95,000.00.
Example 4 (5% “for life”):
Assumptions:
TWB = $100,000
MRWA = $100,000
5% WD would be $5,000 (5% of the current $100,000 total withdrawal base)
WD = $7,000
EWD = $2,000 ($7,000 - $5,000)
PV = $90,000
You = Owner and Annuitant (Age 60)
Step One.  Is any portion of the total withdrawal greater than the maximum annual withdrawal amount?
Yes.  $7,000 - $5,000 = $2,000 (the excess withdrawal amount)
Step Two.  Calculate how much of the “for life” minimum remaining withdrawal amount is affected by the excess withdrawal.
1.  Formula for pro rata amount is: (EWD / (PV - 5% WD)) * (MRWA - 5% WD)
2.  ($2,000 / ($90,000 - $5,000)) * ($100,000 - $5,000) = $2,235.29
Step Three.  Which is larger, the actual $2,000 excess withdrawal amount or the $2,235.29 pro rata amount?
$2,235.29 pro rata amount
Step Four.  What is the “for life” minimum remaining withdrawal amount after the withdrawal has been taken?
1.  Total to deduct from the minimum remaining withdrawal amount is $5,000 + $2,235.29 (pro rata excess) = $7,235.29
2.  $100,000 - $7,235.29 = $92,764.71
Result.   The “for life” minimum remaining withdrawal amount is $92,764.71.
NOTE.  For the guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit, because there was an excess withdrawal amount, the total withdrawal base needs to be adjusted as well as a new lower maximum annual withdrawal amount. Had the withdrawal for this example not been more than $5,000, the “for life” total withdrawal base would remain at $100,000 and the “for life” maximum annual withdrawal amount would be $5,000. However, because an excess withdrawal has been taken, the total withdrawal base is also changed (this is the amount the 5% is based on).
New “for life” total withdrawal base:
Step One.  The total withdrawal base is only reduced by the excess withdrawal amount or the pro rata amount if greater.
Step Two.  Calculate how much the total withdrawal base is affected by the excess withdrawal.
1.  The formula is (EWD / (PV - 5% WD)) * TWB before any adjustments
2.  ($2,000 / ($90,000 - $5,000)) * $100,000 = $2,352.94
Step Three.  Which is larger, the actual $2,000 excess withdrawal amount or the $2,352.94 pro rata amount?
$2,352.94 pro rata amount.
Step Four.  What is the new total withdrawal base upon which the maximum annual withdrawal amount is based?
$100,000 - $2,352.94 = $97,647.06
Result.   The new “for life” total withdrawal base is $97,647.06

APPENDIX
PAM METHOD TRANSFERS
To make the Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider available, we monitor your policy value and guarantees under the rider daily and periodically transfer amounts between your selected investment options and the PAM Subaccount. We determine the amount and timing of PAM Method transfers between the investment options and the PAM Subaccount according to a mathematical model.
The mathematical model is designed to calculate how much of your policy value should be allocated to the PAM Subaccount. Based on this calculation, transfers into or out of the PAM Subaccount will occur. The formula is:
Percent of Policy Value required in PAM Subaccount (or X) = e-Dividend*Time *(1- NormDist(d1))
where:
e = Base of the Natural Logarithm
NormDist = Cumulative Standard Normal Distribution
d1 = [ln(G)+(R F +.5*V ^ 2)* T]/[V * T^.5]
In order to calculate the percent of policy value required in the PAM Subaccount, we must first calculate d1:
d1 = [ln(G)+(R F +.5*V ^ 2)* T]/[V * T^.5]
where:
ln = Natural Logarithm Function
G = Guarantee Ratio
R = Rate
F = Fees
V = Volatility
T = Time
After calculating d1, the percent of policy value required in the PAM Subaccount can be calculated. Once calculated, appropriate transfers into or out of the PAM Subaccount will occur.
Following is a brief discussion of the values used in the formula.
The POLICY VALUE includes the value in both the investment options and in the PAM Subaccount.
The GUARANTEE RATIO is the policy value divided by 7% “Principal Back” Minimum Remaining Withdrawal Amount.
The RATE is the interest rate used for the PAM Method. It is based on a long-term expectation based on historical interest rates and may vary over time.
The FEES is an approximation of average policy fees and charges associated with policies that have elected the Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider. This value may change over time.
The VOLATILITY represents the volatility of the returns of policy value for all in force policies and is based on the long-term expectation of the degree to which the policy values tend to fluctuate. This value may vary over time.
The TIME is an approximation based on actuarial calculations of historical average number of years (including any fraction) which we anticipate remain until any potential payments are made under the benefit. This value may vary over time.
The PERCENT OF POLICY VALUE TO BE ALLOCATED TO THE PAM SUBACCOUNT is computed for each policy. Ultimately the allocation for a policy takes into account the guarantees under the rider and the limit on allocations to the PAM Subaccount.
The CUMULATIVE STANDARD NORMAL DISTRIBUTION function assumes that random events are distributed according to the classic bell curve. For a given value it computes the percentage of such events which can be expected to be less than that value.
The NATURAL LOGARITHM function for a given value, computes the power to which e must be raised, in order to result in that value. Here, e is the base of the natural logarithms, or approximately 2.718282.
104

PAM METHOD TRANSFERS — (Continued)
Example:
Day 1: Policy Value Declines by 10%
For purposes of this example we will assume that the policy value declines by 10% to $90,000 the day after the rider issue date from the initial premium amount of $100,000 producing a guarantee ratio of 90% ($90,000/$100,000). We will also assume:
Guarantee Ratio = 90%
Rate = 4.5%
Volatility = 10%
Fees = 3%
Time = 20
First we calculate d1.
d1=[ln(G)+(R F +.5*V ^ 2)* T]/[V * T^.5]
d1=[ln(.90)+(.045 .03 +.5*.10 ^ 2)* 20]/[.10 * 20^.5]
d1=.658832
Using the value we just calculated for d1 we can now calculate the percent of policy value required in the PAM Subaccount.
Percent of Policy Value in PAM Subaccount (or X) = e-Dividend*Time *(1-NormDist(d1))
X= (2.718282 ^ -.03 * 20) * (1 NormDist(.658832))
X = 13.9948%
Therefore, 13.9948% of the policy value is transferred to the PAM Subaccount, resulting in a total transfer of $12,595.32.
Day 2: Policy Value Recovers to 105% of Initial Value after the 10% Decline
For purposes of this example we will assume that after the policy value declined to $90,000 it recovered the next day to $105,000 producing a guarantee ratio of 105% ($105,000/$100,000). We will also assume:
Guarantee Ratio = 105%
Rate = 4.5%
Volatility = 10%
Fees = 3%
Time = 20
First we calculate d1.
d1=[ln(G)+(R F +.5*V ^ 2)* T]/[V * T^.5]
d1=[ln(1.05)+(.045 .03 +.5*.10 ^ 2)* 20]/[.10 * 20^.5]
d1= 1.003524
Using the value we just calculated for d1 we can now calculate the percent of policy value required in the PAM Subaccount.
Percent of Policy Value in PAM Subaccount (or X) = e-Dividend*Time *(1 - NormDist(d1))
X= (2.718282 ^ -.03 * 20) * (1 NormDist(1.003524))
X = 8.6605%
While the mathematical model would suggest we transfer only a portion of the policy value in the PAM Subaccount into your investment options (leaving 8.6605% in the PAM Subaccount), all of the policy value in the PAM Subaccount will be transferred into your investment options. If the Guarantee Ratio equals or exceeds 100%, then your policy value is greater than or equal to the value of the guarantee and there is no current need for any policy value to be allocated to the PAM Subaccount.

APPENDIX
Hypothetical Adjusted Partial Surrenders -Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit Riders
When a withdrawal is taken, three parts of the guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit can be affected:
1.  Withdrawal Base (“WB”) (also referred to as Total Withdrawal Base (“TWB”) for some riders);
2.  Rider Withdrawal Amount (“RWA”) (also referred to as Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount (“MAWA”) for some riders); and
3.  Rider Death Benefit (“RDB”) (also referred to as Minimum Remaining Withdrawal Amount (“MRWA”) for some riders (if applicable)).
Withdrawal Base.  Gross partial withdrawals in a rider year up to the rider withdrawal amount will not reduce the withdrawal base. Gross partial withdrawals in a rider year in excess of the rider withdrawal amount will reduce the withdrawal base by an amount equal to the greater of:
1)  the excess gross partial withdrawal amount; and
2)  a pro rata amount, the result of (A / B) * C, where:
A  is the excess gross partial withdrawal (the amount in excess of the rider withdrawal amount remaining prior to the withdrawal);
B  is the policy value after the rider withdrawal amount has been withdrawn, but prior to the withdrawal of the excess amount; and
C  is the withdrawal base prior to the withdrawal of the excess amount.
Rider Death Benefit.  Gross partial withdrawals in a rider year up to the rider withdrawal amount will reduce the rider death benefit by the amount withdrawn (dollar-for-dollar). Gross partial withdrawals in a rider year in excess of the rider withdrawal amount will reduce the rider death benefit by an amount equal to the greater of:
1)  the excess gross partial withdrawal amount; and
2)  a pro rata amount, the result of (A / B) * C, where:
A  is the excess gross partial withdrawal (the amount in excess of the rider withdrawal amount remaining prior to the withdrawal);
B  is the policy value after the rider withdrawal amount has been withdrawn, but prior to the withdrawal of the excess amount; and
C  is the rider death benefit after the rider withdrawal amount has been withdrawn, but prior to the withdrawal of the excess amount.
The following demonstrates, on a purely hypothetical basis, the effects of partial withdrawals under a guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit. The withdrawal percentages shown may not be available on all riders. Certain features (growth and rider death benefits) may not be available on all riders. For information regarding a specific rider, please refer to that rider section in this prospectus.
Example 1 (Base):
Assumptions:
WB = $100,000
Withdrawal Percentage = 5%
RWA = 5% withdrawal would be $5,000 (5% of the current $100,000 withdrawal base)
Gross partial withdrawal (“GPWD”) = $5,000
Excess withdrawal (“EWD”) = None
Policy Value (“PV”) = $100,000
Question: Is any portion of the withdrawal greater than the rider withdrawal amount?
No. There is no excess withdrawal under the guarantee since no more than $5,000 is withdrawn.
Result. In this example, because no portion of the withdrawal was in excess of $5,000, the withdrawal base does not change.
106

Example 2 (Excess Withdrawal):
Assumptions:
WB = $100,000
Withdrawal Percentage = 5%
RWA = 5% withdrawal would be $5,000 (5% of the current $100,000 withdrawal base)
GPWD = $7,000
EWD = $2,000 ($7,000 - $5,000)
PV = $90,000
NOTE. For the guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit, because there was an excess withdrawal amount, the withdrawal base needs to be adjusted and a new lower rider withdrawal amount calculated. Had the withdrawal for this example not been more than $5,000, the withdrawal base would remain at $100,000 and the rider withdrawal amount would be $5,000. However, because an excess withdrawal has been taken, the withdrawal base is also reduced (this is the amount the 5% is based on).
New withdrawal base:
Step One. The withdrawal base is reduced only by the amount of the excess withdrawal or the pro rata amount, if greater.
Step Two. Calculate how much the withdrawal base is affected by the excess withdrawal.
1.  The formula is (EWD / (PV - 5% withdrawal)) * WB before any adjustments
2.  ($2,000 / ($90,000 - $5,000)) * $100,000 = $2,352.94
Step Three. Which is larger, the actual $2,000 excess withdrawal or the $2,352.94 pro rata amount?
$2,352.94 pro rata amount.
Step Four. What is the new withdrawal base upon which the rider withdrawal amount is based?
$100,000 - $2,352.94 = $97,647.06
Result. The new withdrawal base is $97,647.06
New rider withdrawal amount:
Because the withdrawal base was adjusted (due to the excess withdrawal) we have to calculate a new rider withdrawal amount for the 5% guarantee that will be available starting on the next calendar anniversary. This calculation assumes no more activity prior to the next calendar anniversary.
Question: What is the new rider withdrawal amount?
$97,647.06 (the adjusted withdrawal base) * 5% = $4,882.35
Result. Going forward, the maximum you can take out in a year is $4,882.35 without causing an excess withdrawal for the guarantee and further reduction of the withdrawal base (assuming there are no future automatic step-ups).
Example 3 (Base demonstrating growth):
Assumptions:
WB = $100,000
Withdrawal Percentage = 5%
WB in 10 years (assuming an annual growth rate percentage of 5.0%) = $100,000 * (1 + .05) ^ 10 = $162,889
RWA = 5% withdrawal beginning 10 years from the rider date would be $8,144 (5% of the then-current $162,889 withdrawal base)
Please Note: Withdrawals under these riders can begin prior to the 10th rider anniversary, but the WB growth will not occur during the rider years when a withdrawal is taken, and the growth stops on the 10th rider anniversary.
GPWD = $8,144
EWD = None
PV = $90,000 in 10 years
Question:   Is any portion of the withdrawal greater than the rider withdrawal amount?
No.  There is no excess withdrawal under the guarantee if no more than $8,144 is withdrawn.
Result.   In this example, because no portion of the withdrawal was in excess of $8,144, the withdrawal base does not change.
107

Riders — (Continued)
Example 4 (Base demonstrating WB growth with Additional Death Payment Option):
Assumptions:
Withdrawal Percentage = 5%
WB at rider issue = $100,000
WB in 10 years (assuming an annual growth rate percentage of 5%) = $100,000 * (1 + .05) ^ 10 = $162,889
RDB (optional additional death benefit for additional cost) = $100,000
RWA = 5% withdrawal beginning 10 years from the rider date would be $8,144 (5% of the then-current $162,889 withdrawal base)
Please Note: Withdrawals under these riders can begin prior to the 10th rider anniversary, but the WB growth will not occur during the rider years when a withdrawal is taken, and the growth stops on the 10th rider anniversary.
GPWD = $8,144
EWD = None
PV = $90,000 in 10 years
Step One.  Is any portion of the withdrawal greater than the rider withdrawal amount?
No.  There is no excess withdrawal under the guarantee if no more than $8,144 is withdrawn.
Step Two.  What is the rider death benefit after the withdrawal has been taken?
1.  Total to deduct from the rider death benefit is $8,144 (there is no excess to deduct)
2.  $100,000 - $8,144 = $91,856.
Result.  In this example, because no portion of the withdrawal was in excess of $8,144, the total withdrawal base does not change and the rider death benefit reduces to $91,856.
Example 5 (Base with WB growth with Additional Death Payment Option illustrating excess withdrawal):
Assumptions:
Withdrawal Percentage = 5%.
WB at rider issue = $100,000
Automatic step-up never occurs and no withdrawals are taken in the first 10 rider years.
WB in 10 years (assuming an annual growth rate percentage of 5%) = $100,000 * (1 + .05) ^ 10 = $162,889.
RDB (optional additional death benefit for additional cost) = $100,000
RWA = 5% withdrawal beginning 10 years from the rider date would be $8,144 (5% of the then-current $162,889 withdrawal base)
Please Note: Withdrawals under these riders can begin prior to the 10th rider anniversary, but the WB growth will not occur during the rider years when a withdrawal is taken and the growth stops on the 10th rider anniversary.
GPWD = $10,000
EWD = $1,856 ($10,000 - $8,144)
PV = $90,000 in 10 years
Step One.  Is any portion of the total withdrawal greater than the rider withdrawal amount?
Yes. $10,000 - $8,144 = $1,856 (the excess withdrawal amount)
Step Two.  Calculate how much of the rider death benefit is affected by the excess withdrawal.
1.  Formula for pro rata amount is: (EWD / (PV - 5% withdrawal)) * (RDB - 5% withdrawal)
2.  ($1,856 / ($90,000 - $8,144)) * ($100,000 - $8,144) = $2,082.74
Step Three. Which is larger, the actual $1,856 excess withdrawal amount or the $2,082.74 pro rata amount?
$2,082.74 pro rata amount.
Step Four. What is the rider death benefit after the withdrawal has been taken?
1.  Total to deduct from the rider death benefit is $8,144 (RWA) + $2,082.74 (pro rata excess) = $10,226.74
2.  $100,000 - $10,226.74 = $89,773.26.
Result. The rider benefit is $89,773.26.

Riders — (Continued)
Note: Because there was an excess withdrawal amount in this example, the withdrawal base needs to be adjusted and a new lower rider withdrawal amount calculated. Had the withdrawal for this example not been more than $8,144, the withdrawal base would remain at $162,889 and the rider withdrawal amount would be $8,144. However, because an excess withdrawal has been taken, the withdrawal base is also reduced (this is the amount the 5% is based on).

Withdrawal Benefits - See “Adjusted Partial Surrenders - Income Link” appendix for examples showing the effect of withdrawals on the WB. Withdrawal Option Election Date - This is the date the withdrawal option is selected by the policy owner.
ILSD - This is the date the policy owner elects to begin receiving payments.

6% for 6 years and 4% thereafter
7% for 5 years and 4% thereafter

6.5% for 5 years and 3.5% thereafter
7.5% for 4 years and 3.5% thereafter
8.5% for 3 years and 3.5% thereafter
9.5% for 2 years and 3.5% thereafter

Automatic Step-Up Benefit On each rider anniversary, the WB will be set to the greatest of:
 1) The current WB:
 2) The policy value on the rider anniversary; or
 3) The highest policy value on a rider monthiversarySM for the current rider year*
* Item 3) is set to zero if there have been any withdrawals that are not ILSW or RMD systematic withdrawals in the current rider year. The highest monthly value is the largest policy value on each rider monthiversary during the rider year.
A step-up will occur if the largest value is either 2) or 3) above. A step-up will allow the company to change the rider fee percentage.
• Owner will have a 30 day window after the rider anniversary to reject an automatic step-up if we increase the rider fee.Must be in writing.
• If an owner rejects an automatic step-up, they retain the right to all future automatic step-ups.
Exercising Rider Exercising Base Benefit: The policyholder is guaranteed to be able to withdraw up to the RWA each withdrawal year even if the policy value is zero at the time of withdrawal. The rider benefits cease when the annuitant2 has died.
Income Benefit or Other Benefit Payout Considerations Systematic Withdrawal Options:
1. 72t/72q SPO - This allows fixed level payments that will not change for at least 5 years and payments will not exceed RWA. Only 5, 6 and 7 year options available.
2.
RMD Only SPO - This allows a modal amount equal to the annual RMD requirement for the current calendar year less all withdrawals taken in current calendar year divided by the number of payments remaining in the calendar year. Will not reduce RWA and is only available prior to ILSD.
3.
RWA SPO no RMD kick out - Allows modal payments of the remaining RWA divided by the number of payments remaining in the current withdrawal year. Payments will be adjusted for any step-ups, premium additions or excess withdrawals and will reduce the RWA with each payment.
4.
RWA SPO with RMD kick out - This allows for payments equal to #3 above with an additional payment to satisfy the RMD paid on December 27th each calendar year. Modal payments are not affected by this RMD payment.
Rider Upgrade • No upgrades allowed, however the owner may terminate the existing rider any time after the 5th rider anniversary and add the new rider in place at that time, as long as the covered lives meet the age requirements in effect at that time.
• New rider addition will be subject to issue age restrictions of the rider at the time of termination and re-addition. Currently the maximum age is 80 years old.
• Rider availability and fees are subject to what applies to the new rider being added.
Rider Termination • The rider can be “free looked” within 30 days of issue. The request must be made in writing.
• The rider will be terminated upon policy surrender, annuitization, annuitant2 death or upgrade.

APPENDIX
Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit
Adjusted Partial Surrenders - Income LinkSM Rider (No Longer Available)
When a withdrawal is taken, three parts of the guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit can be affected:
1.  Withdrawal Base (“WB”)
2.  Rider Withdrawal Amount (“RWA”)
3.  Income LinkSM Rider Systematic Withdrawals (“ILSW”)
Withdrawal Base.  Income LinkSM rider systematic withdrawals (and certain minimum required distributions) will not reduce the withdrawal base. Non-Income LinkSM rider systematic withdrawals (and minimum required distributions calculated other than as provided for in the rider or not taken via a systematic withdrawal program) will reduce the withdrawal base by an amount equal to the greater of:
1)  the amount of the non-Income LinkSM rider systematic withdrawal (or non-qualifying minimum required distribution); and
2)  a pro rata amount, the result of (A / B) * C, where:
A  is the amount in 1 above;
B  is the policy value prior to the withdrawal; and
C  is the withdrawal base prior to the withdrawal.
The following demonstrates, on a purely hypothetical basis, the effects of partial withdrawals under this guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit.
Assumptions:
WB = $100,000
RWA = 6% withdrawal would be $6,000 (6% of the current $100,000 withdrawal base)
ILSW = $500 per month
Non-ILSW = $10,000 (taken after the eighteenth monthly Income LinkSM rider systematic withdrawal)
PV = $90,000
Assumes single life withdrawal option of 6% for 6 years and 4% thereafter has been elected. Non-Income LinkSM rider systematic withdrawal occurs during the second Income LinkSM rider withdrawal year (which means the withdrawal percentage is 6%).
Result. For the guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit, because there was a non-Income LinkSM rider systematic withdrawal, the withdrawal base needs to be adjusted and a new lower rider withdrawal amount and Income LinkSM rider systematic withdrawal amount calculated.
New withdrawal base:
Step One. The withdrawal base is reduced only by the amount of the non-Income LinkSM rider systematic withdrawal or the pro rata amount, if greater.
Step Two. Calculate how much the withdrawal base is affected by the non-Income LinkSM rider systematic withdrawal.
1.  The formula is (Non-ILSW / (PV before withdrawal)) * WB before any adjustments
2.  ($10,000 / ($90,000)) * $100,000 = $11,111
Step Three. Which is larger, the actual $10,000 non-Income LinkSM rider systematic withdrawal or the $11,111 pro rata amount?
$11,111 pro rata amount.
Step Four. What is the new withdrawal base upon which the rider withdrawal amount is based?
$100,000 - $11,111 = $88,889
Result. The new withdrawal base is $88,889. Please note the percentage reduction in the withdrawal base is used in calculating the revised RWA and ILSW.
New rider withdrawal amount:
Because the withdrawal base was adjusted (due to the non-Income LinkSM rider systematic withdrawal) we have to calculate a new (remaining) rider withdrawal amount. This calculation assumes no more non-Income LinkSM rider systematic withdrawal activity prior to the next Income LinkSM rider withdrawal year.
Question: What is the new (remaining) rider withdrawal amount for the remainder of the Income LinkSM rider withdrawal year?
$3,000 (the remaining rider withdrawal amount) - ($3,000*11.11%) = $2,667
114

Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal BenefitAdjusted Partial Surrenders - Income LinkSM
Rider (No Longer Available) — (Continued)
Result. Going forward, the maximum you can take out in a benefit year without causing a negative withdrawal base adjustment and further reduction of the withdrawal base (assuming there are no future automatic step-ups) is $5,333.
New Income LinkSM rider systematic withdrawal amount:
Because the withdrawal base was adjusted (due to the non-Income LinkSM rider systematic withdrawal) we have to calculate a new Income LinkSM rider systematic withdrawal amount. This calculation assumes no more non-Income LinkSM rider systematic withdrawal activity prior to the next Income LinkSM rider withdrawal year.
Question: What is the new Income LinkSM rider systematic withdrawal amount?
$500 (the old Income LinkSM rider systematic withdrawal amount) - ($500*11.11%) = $444
Result. Going forward (until the seventh Income LinkSM rider withdrawal year), the Income LinkSM rider systematic withdrawal amount (assuming there are no future automatic step-ups) is $444.

In order to supplement the description in the prospectus, the following provides additional information about us and the policy, which may be of interest to a prospective purchaser.
THE POLICYGENERAL PROVISIONS
Owner
The policy shall belong to the owner upon issuance of the policy after completion of an enrollment form and delivery of the initial premium payment. While the annuitant is living, the owner may: (1) assign the policy; (2) surrender the policy; (3) amend or modify the policy with our consent; (4) receive annuity payments or name a payee to receive the payments; and (5) exercise, receive and enjoy every other right and benefit contained in the policy. The exercise of these rights may be subject to the consent of any assignee or irrevocable beneficiary; and of your spouse in a community or marital property state.
Unless we have been notified of a community or marital property interest in the policy, we will rely on our good faith belief that no such interest exists and will assume no responsibility for inquiry.
Note carefully. If the owner predeceases the annuitant and no joint owner, primary beneficiary, or contingent beneficiary is alive or in existence on the date of death, the owner's estate will become the new owner. If no probate estate is opened because the owner has precluded the opening of a probate estate by means of a trust or other instrument, that trust may not exercise ownership rights to the policy. It may be necessary to open a probate estate in order to exercise ownership rights to the policy.
The owner may change the ownership of the policy in a written notice. When this change takes effect, all rights of ownership in the policy will pass to the new owner. A change of ownership may have tax consequences.
When there is a change of owner, the change will not be effective until it is recorded in our records. Once recorded, it will take effect as of the date the owner signs the written notice, subject to any payment we have made or action we have taken before recording the change. Changing the owner does not change the designation of the beneficiary or the annuitant.
Entire Contract
The entire contract consists of the policy and any application, endorsements and riders. If any portion of the policy or rider attached thereto shall be found to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, the remainder shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, but shall have the same force and effect as if the invalid, unenforceable or illegal portion had not been inserted.
Misstatement of Age or Sex
During the Accumulation Phase. If the age of any person whose life or age a benefit provided under a guaranteed benefit has been misstated, any such benefit will be that which would have been purchased on the basis of the correct age. If that person would not have been eligible for that guaranteed benefit at the correct age, (i) the benefit will be rescinded; and (ii) any charges that were deducted for the benefit will be refunded and applied to the total account value of the policy.
We reserve the right to terminate the contract at any time if it discovers a misstatement or fraudulent representation of any information provided in connection with the issuance or ongoing administration of the policy.
After the Annuity Commencement Date. We may require proof of the annuitant’s or owner’s age and/or sex before any payments associated with any benefits are made. If the age or sex of the annuitant and/or owner has been misstated, we will change the payment associated with any benefits payable to that which the premium payments would have purchased for the correct age or sex. The dollar amount of any underpayment made by us shall be paid in full with the next payment due such person, beneficiary, or payee. The dollar amount of any overpayment made by us due to any misstatement shall be deducted from payments subsequently accruing to such person or beneficiary. Any underpayment or overpayment will include interest specified in your policy, from the date of the wrong payment to the date of the adjustment. The age of the annuitant or owner may be established at any time by the submission of proof satisfactory to us.
Reallocation of Annuity Units After the Annuity Commencement Date
After the annuity commencement date, you may reallocate the value of a designated number of annuity units of a subaccount then credited to a policy into an equal value of annuity units of one or more other subaccounts or the fixed account. The reallocation shall be based on the relative value of the annuity units of the account(s) or subaccount(s) at the end of the market day on the next payment date. The minimum amount which may be reallocated is the lesser of (1) $10 of monthly income or (2) the entire monthly income of the annuity units in the account or subaccount from which the transfer is being made. If the monthly income of the
3

annuity units remaining in an account or subaccount after a reallocation is less than $10, we reserve the right to include the value of those annuity units as part of the transfer. The request must be in writing to our Administrative Office. There is no charge assessed in connection with such reallocation. A reallocation of annuity units may be made up to four times in any given policy year.
After the annuity commencement date, no transfers may be made from the fixed account to the separate account.
Annuity Payment Options
During the lifetime of the annuitant and before the annuity commencement date, the owner may choose an annuity payment option or change the election, but notice of any election or change of election must be received by us in good order at least thirty (30) days before the annuity commencement date (elections less than 30 days require prior approval). If no election is made before the annuity commencement date, annuity payments will be made under (1) life income with level (fixed) payments for 10 years certain, using the existing adjusted policy value of the fixed account, or (2) life income with variable payments for 10 years certain using the existing policy value of the separate account, or (3) in a combination of (1) and (2). The default options may be restricted with respect to qualified policies.
The person who elects an annuity payment option can also name one or more beneficiaries to receive any unpaid, guaranteed amount at the death of the annuitant. Naming these beneficiaries cancels any prior choice of a beneficiary.
A payee who did not elect the annuity payment option does not have the right to advance or assign payments, take the payments in one sum, or make any other change. However, the payee may be given the right to do one or more of these things if the person who elects the option tells us in writing and we agree.
Adjusted Age. For the Life Income and Joint and Survivor annuity payment options, the adjusted age is the annuitant's actual age nearest birthday, on the annuity commencement date, adjusted as described in your policy. This adjustment assumes an increase in life expectancy, and therefore it results in lower payments than without such an adjustment.
Variable Payment Options. The dollar amount of the first variable annuity payment will be determined in accordance with the annuity payment rates set forth in the applicable table contained in the policy. For annuity payments the tables are based on a 3% effective annual AIR and the “Annuity 2000” (male, female and unisex if required by law) mortality table projected for improvement using projection scale G. The rates were projected dynamically using an assumed annuity commencement date of 2020. the “Annuity 2000” mortality rates are adjusted based on improvements in mortality to more appropriately reflect increased longevity. The dollar amount of additional variable annuity payments will vary based on the investment performance of the subaccount(s) of the separate account selected by the annuitant or beneficiary. For certain qualified policies the use of unisex mortality tables may be required.
Determination of the First Variable Payment. The amount of the first variable payment depends upon the sex (if consideration of sex is allowed under state and Federal law) and adjusted age of the annuitant.
Determination of Additional Variable Payments. All variable annuity payments other than the first are calculated using annuity units which are credited to the policy. The number of annuity units to be credited in respect of a particular subaccount is determined by dividing that portion of the first variable annuity payment attributable to that subaccount by the annuity unit value of that subaccount on the annuity commencement date. The number of annuity units of each particular subaccount credited to the policy then remains fixed, assuming no transfers to or from that subaccount occur. The dollar value of variable annuity units in the chosen subaccount will increase or decrease reflecting the investment experience of the chosen subaccount. The dollar amount of each variable annuity payment after the first may increase, decrease or remain constant. This amount is equal to the sum of the amounts determined by multiplying the number of annuity units of each particular subaccount credited to the policy by the annuity unit value for the particular subaccount on the date the payment is made.
Death Benefit
Due proof of death of the annuitant is proof that the annuitant died prior to the commencement of annuity payments. A certified copy of a death certificate, a certified copy of a decree of a court of competent jurisdiction as to the finding of death, a written statement by the attending physician, or any other proof satisfactory to us will constitute due proof of death. If the annuitant dies after the annuity commencement date, no death benefit is payable and the amount payable will depend on the annuity income option.
Upon receipt in good order of this proof and an election of a method of settlement and return of the policy, the death benefit generally will be paid within seven days, or as soon thereafter as we have sufficient information about the beneficiary(ies) to make the payment. The beneficiary may receive the amount payable in a lump sum cash benefit, or, subject to any limitation under any state or federal law, rule, or regulation, under one of the annuity payment options described above, unless a settlement agreement is effective at the death of the owner preventing such election.
4

If an owner is not an annuitant, and dies prior to the annuity commencement date, the new owner may surrender the policy at any time for the amount of the cash value. If the new owner is not the deceased owner's spouse, however, the cash value must be distributed within five years after the date of the deceased owner's death, or be used to provide payments to a designated beneficiary within one year of such owner’s death that will be made for life of the beneficiary or for a period not extending beyond the life expectancy of the beneficiary. If the sole new owner is the deceased owner's surviving spouse, such spouse may elect to continue the policy as the new owner instead of receiving the death benefit.
Beneficiary. The beneficiary designation in the enrollment form will remain in effect until changed. The owner may change the designated beneficiary by sending us written notice. The beneficiary's consent to such change is not required unless the beneficiary was irrevocably designated or law requires consent. If an irrevocable beneficiary dies, the owner may then designate a new beneficiary. The change will take effect as of the date the owner signs the written notice, whether or not the owner is living when we receive the notice. We will not be liable for any payment made before the written notice is received. If more than one beneficiary is designated, and the owner fails to specify their interests, they will share equally. If upon the death of the annuitant there is a surviving owner(s), the surviving owner(s) automatically takes the place of any beneficiary designation.
Death of Owner
Federal tax law requires that if any owner (including any joint owner who has become a current owner) dies before the annuity commencement date, then the entire value of the policy must generally be distributed within five years of the date of death of such owner. Certain rules apply where (1) the spouse of the deceased owner is the sole beneficiary, (2) the owner is not a natural person and the primary annuitant dies or is changed, or (3) any owner dies after the annuity commencement date. See the TAX INFORMATION section in the prospectus for more information about these rules. Other rules may apply to qualified policies.
Assignment
During the lifetime of the annuitant you may assign any rights or benefits provided by the policy if your policy is a nonqualified policy. An assignment will not be binding on us until a copy has been filed at our Administrative Office. Your rights and benefits and those of the beneficiary are subject to the rights of the assignee. We assume no responsibility for the validity or effect of any assignment. Any claim made under an assignment shall be subject to proof of interest and the extent of the assignment. An assignment may have tax consequences.
Unless you so direct by filing written notice with us, no beneficiary may assign any payments under the policy before they are due. To the extent permitted by law, no payments will be subject to the claims of any beneficiary's creditors.
Ownership under qualified policies is restricted to comply with the Code.
Evidence of Survival
We reserve the right to require satisfactory evidence that a person is alive if a payment is based on that person being alive. No payment will be made until we receive such evidence.
Non-Participating
The policy will not share in our surplus earnings; no dividends will be paid.
Amendments
No change in the policy is valid unless made in writing by us and approved by one of our officers. No registered representative has authority to change or waive any provision of the policy.
We reserve the right to amend the policies to meet the requirements of the Code, regulations or published rulings. You can refuse such a change by giving written notice, but a refusal may result in adverse tax consequences.
Employee and Agent Purchases
The policy may be acquired by an employee or registered representative of any broker/dealer authorized to sell the policy or their immediate family, or by an officer, director, trustee or bona-fide full-time employee of ours or our affiliated companies or their immediate family. In such a case, we may, at our sole discretion, credit an amount equal to a percentage of each premium payment to the policy due to lower acquisition costs we experience on those purchases. We may offer certain employer sponsored savings plans, reduced fees and charges including, but not limited to, the annual service charge, the surrender charges, the mortality and expense
5

risk fee and the administrative charge for certain sales under circumstances which may result in savings of certain costs and expenses. In addition, there may be other circumstances of which we are not presently aware which could result in reduced sales or distribution expenses. Credits to the policy or reductions in these fees and charges will not be unfairly discriminatory against any owner.
INVESTMENT EXPERIENCE
A “net investment factor” is used to determine the value of accumulation units and annuity units, and to determine annuity payment rates.
Accumulation Units
Allocations of a premium payment directed to a subaccount are credited in the form of accumulation units. Each subaccount has a distinct accumulation unit value. The number of units credited is determined by dividing the premium payment or amount transferred to the subaccount by the accumulation unit value of the subaccount as of the end of the valuation period during which the allocation is made. For each subaccount, the accumulation unit value for a given market day is based on the net asset value of a share of the corresponding portfolio of the underlying fund portfolios less any applicable charges or fees. The investment performance of the portfolio, expenses, and deductions of certain charges affect the value of an accumulation unit.
Upon allocation to the selected subaccount, premium payments are converted into accumulation units of the subaccount. The number of accumulation units to be credited is determined by dividing the dollar amount allocated to each subaccount by the value of an accumulation unit for that subaccount as next determined after the premium payment is received at the Administrative Office or, in the case of the initial premium payment, when the enrollment form is completed, whichever is later. The value of an accumulation unit for each subaccount was arbitrarily established at $10 at the inception of each subaccount. Thereafter, the value of an accumulation unit is determined as of the close of trading on each day the New York Stock Exchange is open for business.
An index (the “net investment factor”) which measures the investment performance of a subaccount during a valuation period, is used to determine the value of an accumulation unit for the next subsequent valuation period. The net investment factor may be greater or less than or equal to one; therefore, the value of an accumulation unit may increase, decrease, or remain the same from one valuation period to the next. You bear this investment risk. The net investment performance of a subaccount and deduction of certain charges affect the accumulation unit value.
The net investment factor for any subaccount for any valuation period is determined by dividing (A + B - C) by (D) and subtracting (E) from the result, where the net result of:
A  the net asset value per share of the shares held in the subaccount determined at the end of the current valuation period, plus
B  the per share amount of any dividend or capital gain distribution made with respect to the shares held in the subaccount if the ex-dividend date occurs during the current valuation period, plus or minus
C  a per share credit or charge for any taxes determined by us to have resulted during the valuation period from the investment operations of the subaccount;
D  is the net asset value per share of the shares held in the subaccount determined as of the end of the immediately preceding valuation period; and
E  is an amount representing the separate account charge and any optional benefit fees, if applicable.

Where:  
A = The net asset value of an underlying fund portfolio share at of the end of the current valuation period.
  Assume A = $11.57
B = The per share amount of any dividend or capital gains distribution since the end of the immediately preceding valuation period.
  Assume B = 0
C = The per share charge or credit for any taxes reserved for at the end of the current valuation period.
  Assume C = 0
D = The net asset value of an underlying fund portfolio share at of the end of the immediately preceding valuation period.
  Assume D = $11.40
E = The daily deduction for the mortality and expense risk fee and the administrative charge, and any optional benefit fees, if applicable. Assume E total 1.50% on an annual basis; On a daily basis, this equals 0.000041096.
    
Then, the net investment factor = (11.57 + 0 0) - 0.000041096 = Z = 1.014871185
  (11.40)  
Formula for Determining Accumulation Unit Value
Accumulation Unit Value = A * B
Where:  
A = The accumulation unit value for the immediately preceding valuation period.
  Assume A = $X
B = The net investment factor for the current valuation period.
  Assume B = Y
Then, the accumulation unit value = $X * Y = $Z
Annuity Unit Value and Annuity Payment Rates
The amount of variable annuity payments will vary with annuity unit values. Annuity unit values rise if the net investment performance of the subaccount exceeds the assumed investment return of 3% annually. Conversely, annuity unit values fall if the net investment performance of the subaccount is less than the annual assumed investment return. The value of a variable annuity unit in each subaccount was established at $10 on the date operations began for that subaccount. The value of a variable annuity unit on any subsequent business day is equal to A multiplied by B multiplied by C, where:
A  is the variable annuity unit value for the subaccount on the immediately preceding market day;
B  is the net investment factor for that subaccount for the valuation period; and
C  is the assumed investment return adjustment factor for the valuation period.
The assumed investment return adjustment factor for the valuation period is the product of discount factors of .99986634 per day to recognize the 3% effective annual AIR. The valuation period is the period from the close of the immediately preceding market day to the close of the current market day.
The net investment factor for the policy used to calculate the value of a variable annuity unit in each subaccount for the valuation period is determined by dividing (i) by (ii) and subtracting (iii) from the result, where:
(i)  is the result of:
(1) the net asset value of a fund share held in that subaccount determined at the end of the current valuation period; plus
(2) the per share amount of any dividend or capital gain distributions made by the fund for shares held in that subaccount if the ex-dividend date occurs during the valuation period; plus or minus
(3) a per share charge or credit for any taxes reserved for, which we determine to have resulted from the investment operations of the subaccount.
(ii)  is the net asset value of a fund share held in that subaccount determined as of the end of the immediately preceding valuation period.
(iii)  is a factor representing the mortality and expense risk fee and administrative charge. This factor is equal, on an annual basis, to 1.25% of the daily net asset value of shares held in that subaccount.
The dollar amount of subsequent variable annuity payments will depend upon changes in applicable annuity unit values.

The annuity payment rates generally vary according to the annuity option elected and the gender and adjusted age of the annuitant at the annuity commencement date. The policy contains a table for determining the adjusted age of the annuitant.

PERFORMANCE
We periodically advertise performance of the various subaccounts. Performance figures might not reflect charges for options, riders, or endorsements. We may disclose at least three different kinds of non-standard performance. First, we may calculate performance by determining the percentage change in the value of an accumulation unit by dividing the increase (decrease) for that unit by the value of the accumulation unit at the beginning of the period. This performance number reflects the deduction of the mortality and
8

expense risk fees and administrative charges. It does not reflect the deduction of any applicable premium taxes, surrender charges, or fees for any optional riders or endorsements. Any such deduction would reduce the percentage increase or make greater any percentage decrease.
Second, advertisements may also include total return figures, which reflect the deduction of the mortality and expense risk fees and administrative charges. These figures may also include or exclude surrender charges. These figures may also reflect any applicable premium enhancement.
Third, for certain investment portfolios, performance may be shown for the period commencing from the inception date of the investment portfolio (i.e., before commencement of subaccount operations). These figures should not be interpreted to reflect actual historical performance of the subaccounts.
Not all types of performance data presented reflect all of the fees and charges that may be deducted (such as fees for optional benefits); performance figures would be lower if these charges were included.
HISTORICAL PERFORMANCE DATA
Money Market Yields
We may from time to time disclose the current annualized yield of the money market subaccount, which invests in the corresponding money market portfolio, for a 7-day period in a manner which does not take into consideration any realized or unrealized gains or losses on shares of the corresponding money market portfolio or on its portfolio securities. This current annualized yield is computed by determining the net change (exclusive of realized gains and losses on the sale of securities and unrealized appreciation and depreciation and income other than investment income) at the end of the 7-day period in the value of a hypothetical account having a balance of 1 unit of the money market subaccount at the beginning of the 7-day period, dividing such net change in account value by the value of the account at the beginning of the period to determine the base period return, and annualizing this quotient on a 365-day basis. The net change in account value reflects (i) net income from the portfolio attributable to the hypothetical account; and (ii) charges and deductions imposed under a policy that are attributable to the hypothetical account. The charges and deductions include the per unit charges for the hypothetical account for (i) the administrative charges and (ii) the mortality and expense risk fee. Current yield will be calculated according to the following formula.
Current Yield = ((NCS * ES)/UV) * (365/7)
Where:    
NCS = The net change in the value of the portfolio (exclusive of realized gains and losses on the sale of securities and unrealized appreciation and depreciation and income other than investment income) for the 7-day period attributable to a hypothetical account having a balance of 1 subaccount unit.
ES = Per unit expenses of the subaccount for the 7-day period.
UV = The unit value on the first day of the 7-day period.
Because of the charges and deductions imposed under a policy, the yield for the money market subaccount will be lower than the yield for the corresponding money market portfolio. The yield calculations do not reflect the effect of any premium taxes. The yield calculations also do not reflect surrender charges that may be applicable to a particular policy. Surrender charges range from 9% to 0% (depending on which share class you select) of the amount of premium payments surrendered based on the number of years since the premium payment was made. Surrender charges are based on the number of years since the date the premium payment was made, not the policy issue date.
9

We may also disclose the effective yield of the money market subaccount for the same 7-day period, determined on a compounded basis. The effective yield is calculated by compounding the base period return according to the following formula.
Effective Yield = (1 + ((NCS - ES)/UV))365/7 - 1
Where:    
NCS = The net change in the value of the portfolio (exclusive of realized gains and losses on the sale of securities and unrealized appreciation and depreciation and income other than investment income) for the 7-day period attributable to a hypothetical account having a balance of one subaccount unit.
ES = Per unit expenses of the subaccount for the 7-day period.
UV = The unit value on the first day of the 7-day period.
The yield on amounts held in the money market subaccount normally will fluctuate on a daily basis. Therefore, the disclosed yield for any given past period is not an indication or representation of future yields or rates of return. The money market subaccount's actual yield is affected by changes in interest rates on money market securities, average portfolio maturity of the corresponding money market portfolio, the types and quality of portfolio securities held by the corresponding money market portfolio and its operating expenses.
Total Returns
We may from time to time also advertise or disclose total returns for one or more of the subaccounts for various periods of time. One of the periods of time will include the period measured from the date the subaccount commenced operations. When a subaccount has been in operation for 1, 5 and 10 years, respectively, the total return for these periods will be provided. Total returns for other periods of time may from time to time also be disclosed. Total returns represent the average annual compounded rates of return that would equate an initial investment of $1,000 to the redemption value of that investment as of the last day of each of the periods. The ending date for each period for which total return quotations are provided will be for the most recent month end practicable, considering the type and media of the communication and will be stated in the communication.
Total returns will be calculated using subaccount unit values which we calculate on each market day based on the performance of the separate account's underlying fund portfolio and the deductions for the mortality and expense risk fee and the administrative charges. Total return calculations will reflect the effect of surrender charges that may be applicable to a particular period. The total return will then be calculated according to the following formula.
P (1 + T)N = ERV
Where:    
T = The average annual total return net of subaccount recurring charges.
ERV = The ending redeemable value of the hypothetical account at the end of the period.
P = A hypothetical initial payment of $1,000.
N = The number of years in the period.
Other Performance Data
We may from time to time also disclose average annual total returns in a non-standard format in conjunction with the standard format described above.
We may from time to time also disclose cumulative total returns in conjunction with the standard format described above. The cumulative returns will be calculated using the following formula except that the surrender charge percentage will be assumed to be 0%.
CTR = (ERV / P)-1
Where:    
CTR = The cumulative total return net of subaccount recurring charges for the period.
ERV = The ending redeemable value of the hypothetical investment at the end of the period.
P = A hypothetical initial payment of $1,000.
All non-standard performance data will only be advertised if the standard performance data is also disclosed.
10

Adjusted Historical Performance Data
From time to time, sales literature or advertisements may quote average annual total returns for periods prior to the date a particular subaccount commenced operations. Such performance information for the subaccounts will be calculated based on the performance of the various portfolios and the assumption that the subaccounts were in existence for the same periods as those indicated for the portfolios, with the level of policy charges that are currently in effect.
PUBLISHED RATINGS
We may from time to time publish in advertisements, sales literature and reports to owners, the ratings and other information assigned to us by one or more independent rating organizations such as A.M. Best Company, Standard & Poor's Insurance Ratings Services, Moody's Investors Service and Fitch Financial Ratings. The purpose of the ratings is to reflect our financial strength. The ratings should not be considered as bearing on the investment performance of assets held in the separate account or of the safety or riskiness of an investment in the separate account. Each year the A.M. Best Company reviews the financial status of thousands of insurers, culminating in the assignment of Best's Ratings. These ratings reflect their current opinion of the relative financial strength and operating performance of an insurance company in comparison to the norms of the life/health insurance industry. In addition, these ratings may be referred to in advertisements or sales literature or in reports to owners. These ratings are opinions of an operating insurance company's financial capacity to meet the obligations of its insurance policies in accordance with their terms.
STATE REGULATION OF US
We are subject to the laws of jurisdiction governing insurance companies and to regulation by the jurisdiction Department of Insurance. An annual statement in a prescribed form is filed with the Department of Insurance each year covering our operations for the preceding year and our financial condition as of the end of such year. Regulation by the Department of Insurance includes periodic examination to determine our contract liabilities and reserves so that the Department may determine the items are correct. Our books and accounts are subject to review by the Department of Insurance at all times, and a full examination of our operations are conducted periodically by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners. In addition, we are subject to regulation under the insurance laws of other jurisdictions in which it may operate.
ADMINISTRATION
We perform administrative services for the policies. These services include issuance of the policies, maintenance of records concerning the policies, and certain valuation services.
RECORDS AND REPORTS
We will maintain all records and accounts relating to the separate account. As presently required by the 1940 Act, as amended, and regulations promulgated thereunder, we will mail to all owners at their last known address of record, at least annually, reports containing such information as may be required under that Act or by any other applicable law or regulation. Owners will also receive confirmation of each financial transaction and any other reports required by law or regulation. However, for certain routine transactions (for example, regular monthly premiums deducted from your checking account, or regular annuity payments we send to you) you may only receive quarterly confirmations.
DISTRIBUTION OF THE POLICIES
We have entered into a principal underwriting agreement with our affiliate, Transamerica Capital, Inc. (“TCI”), for the distribution and sale of the policies. We may reimburse TCI for certain expenses it incurs in order to pay for the distribution of the policies (e.g., commissions payable to selling firms selling the Policies, as described below).
TCI's home office is located at 4600 S. Syracuse St. Suite 1100 Denver, Colorado 80237-2719. TCI is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Aegon USA. TCI is registered as a broker-dealer with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and is a member of Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”). TCI is not a member of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation.
We currently offer the policies on a continuous basis. We anticipate continuing to offer the policies, but reserve the right to discontinue the offering. The policies are offered to the public through sales representatives of broker-dealers (“selling firms”) that have entered into selling agreements with us and with TCI. TCI compensates these selling firms for their services. Sales representatives with these selling firms are appointed as our insurance agents.
11

We and our affiliates provide paid-in capital to TCI and pay for TCI's operating and other expenses, including overhead, legal and accounting fees. We also pay TCI an “override” payment based on the pricing of the product which becomes part of TCI's assets. In addition, we pay commission to TCI for policy sales; these commissions are passed through to the selling firms with TCI not retaining any portion of the commissions. During fiscal year 2014 and 2013 the amounts paid to TCI in connection with all policies sold through the Transamerica Life Insurance Company separate account were $364,566,103 and $212,971,232 .
We and/or TCI or another affiliate may pay certain selling firms additional cash amounts for: (1) “preferred product” treatment of the policies in their marketing programs, which may include marketing services and increased access to their sales representatives; (2) sales promotions relating to the policies; (3) costs associated with sales conferences and educational seminars for their sales representatives; and (4) other sales expenses of the selling firms. We and/or TCI may make bonus payments to certain selling firms based on aggregate sales or persistency standards. These additional payments are not offered to all selling firms, and the terms of any particular agreement governing the payments may vary among selling firms.
VOTING RIGHTS
To the extent required by law, we will vote the underlying fund portfolios' shares held by the separate account at regular and special shareholder meetings of the underlying fund portfolios in accordance with instructions received from persons having voting interests in the portfolios, although none of the underlying fund portfolios hold regular annual shareholder meetings. If, however, the 1940 Act or any regulation thereunder should be amended or if the present interpretation thereof should change, and as a result we will determine that it is permitted to vote the underlying fund portfolios shares in its own right, it may elect to do so.
Before the annuity commencement date, you hold the voting interest in the selected portfolios. The number of votes that you have the right to instruct will be calculated separately for each subaccount. The number of votes that you have the right to instruct for a particular subaccount will be determined by dividing your policy value in the subaccount by the net asset value per share of the corresponding portfolio in which the subaccount invests. Fractional shares will be counted.
After the annuity commencement date, you have the voting interest, and the number of votes decreases as annuity payments are made and as the reserves for the policy decrease. The person's number of votes will be determined by dividing the reserve for the policy allocated to the applicable subaccount by the net asset value per share of the corresponding portfolio. Fractional shares will be counted.
The number of votes that you have the right to instruct will be determined as of the date established by the underlying fund portfolio for determining shareholders eligible to vote at the meeting of the underlying fund portfolio. We will solicit voting instructions by sending you, or other persons entitled to vote, requests for instructions prior to that meeting in accordance with procedures established by the underlying fund portfolio. Portfolio shares as to which no timely instructions are received, and shares held by us in which you, or other persons entitled to vote have no beneficial interest, will be voted in proportion to the voting instructions that are received with respect to all policies participating in the same subaccount.
Each person having a voting interest in a subaccount will receive proxy material, reports, and other materials relating to the appropriate portfolio.
OTHER PRODUCTS
We make other variable annuity policies available that may also be funded through the separate account. These variable annuity policies may have different features, such as different investment choices or charges.
CUSTODY OF ASSETS
We hold assets of each of the subaccounts. The assets of each of the subaccounts are segregated and held separate and apart from the assets of the other subaccounts and from our general account assets. We maintain records of all purchases and redemptions of shares of the underlying fund portfolios held by each of the subaccounts. Additional protection for the assets of the separate account is afforded by our fidelity bond, presently in the amount of $5,000,000, covering the acts of our officers and employees.

This prospectus describes information you should know before you purchase a Partners Variable Annuity SeriesSM variable annuity. The prospectus describes a contract between each owner and joint owner (“you”) and Transamerica Life Insurance Company or Transamerica Financial Life Insurance Company (“us,” “we,” “our” or “Company”). This is an individual, deferred, flexible premium variable annuity. This variable annuity allows you to allocate your premium payments among the fixed account (if available) and the underlying fund portfolios.
This prospectus also refers to the following share classes: B-Share, C-Share, L-Share and X-Share. A share class will be selected on your application and identified in your policy.
This prospectus and the underlying fund prospectuses give you important information about the policies and the underlying fund portfolios. Please read them carefully before you invest and keep them for future reference. You can also contact us to get a Statement of Additional Information (SAI) free of charge. The SAI contains more information about this policy. A registration statement, including the SAI, has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the SAI is incorporated herein by reference. The prospectus and SAI can also be obtained from the SEC's website (www.sec.gov). The table of contents of the SAI is included at the end of this prospectus. The Securities and Exchange Commission has not approved or disapproved these securities, or passed upon the adequacy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
If you elect the X-Share, we will add a credit to your policy value for each premium payment that you make. Generally, an annuity with a premium enhancement will have higher overall expenses than a similar annuity without a premium enhancement; the amount credited under the premium enhancement may be more than offset by the additional fees and charges associated with the premium enhancement. You should always consider the expenses along with the features and enhancements to be sure that any annuity meets your financial needs and goals.
This variable annuity may not be suitable for everyone. This variable annuity may not be appropriate for people who do not have a long investment time horizon and is not appropriate for people who intend to engage in market timing. You will get no additional tax advantage from this variable annuity if you are investing in a variable annuity through a tax-advantaged retirement plan (such as a 401(k) plan or Individual Retirement Account (“IRA”)). This prospectus is not intended to provide tax, accounting or legal advice.
We are not an investment adviser nor are we registered as such with the SEC or any state securities regulatory authority. We are not acting in any fiduciary capacity with respect to your policy nor are we acting in any capacity on behalf of any tax-advantaged retirement plan. This information does not constitute personalized investment advice or financial planning advice.

Notes to Fee Table and Expense Examples
Owner Transaction Expenses:
Maximum Surrender Charge: The surrender charge, if any is imposed, applies to each premium payment, regardless of how policy value is allocated among the investment options. The surrender charge decreases based on the number of years since the premium payment was made.
Transfer Fee:  The transfer fee, if any is imposed, applies to each policy, regardless of how policy value is allocated among the investment options. There is no fee for the first 12 transfers per policy year. For additional transfers, we may charge a fee of $10 per transfer.
Special Service Fees: We may deduct a charge for special services, including overnight delivery; duplicate policies; non-sufficient checks on new business; duplicate Form 1099 and Form 5498 tax forms; duplicate disclosure documents and semi-annual reports; check copies; printing and mailing previously submitted forms; and asset verification requests from mortgage companies. We may charge a fee for each service performed. In addition, we may consider as special services customer initiated changes, modifications and transactions which are submitted in such a manner as to require us to incur additional processing costs.
Annual Service Charge:
The maximum annual service charge is $50 per policy. In no event will the service charge exceed 2% of the policy value or the maximum amount.
Criteria for Potential Waiver   Potential Waiver Amount*
Policy Value or sum of all premium payments less all withdrawals:    
$50,000 thru $249,999.99   up to $35
$250,000 or more   up to $50
Participation in e-delivery program   up to $15
* In no event will we waive in the aggregate more than the actual annual service charge for any policy year.
Separate Account Annual Expenses:
Mortality and Expense Risk Fee: The mortality and expense risk fee shown is for the accumulation phase with the base death benefit. During the income phase, the mortality and expense risk fee is at an annual rate of 1.25%.
Optional Separate Account Expenses: Any optional separate account expense is in addition to the mortality and expense risk and administrative fees. 
Fund Facilitation Fee: This daily fee is applied only to policy value in the subaccounts invested in:
Fund   Annualized
Fee %
American Funds - Asset Allocation Fund - Class 2; American Funds - Growth Fund - Class 2; American Funds Growth-Income Fund - Class 2; American Funds International Fund - Class 2   0.30%
AllianceBernstein Balanced Wealth Strategy Portfolio - Class B; GE Investments Total Return Fund - Class 2   0.20%
Voya Global Perspectives - Class S; Voya Large Cap Value - Class S; Voya Strategic Allocation Conservative - Class S; Voya Strategic Allocation Moderate - Class S   0.14%
We charge a fund facilitation fee in order to make certain subaccounts available as investment choices under the policies. We apply the fee to subaccounts that invest in underlying funds that do not provide us with the amount of revenue we require in order for us to meet our expenses and revenue targets. This fee is assessed daily based on the net asset value of subaccounts that we specify.
Liquidity Rider: This fee is only charged for the first four policy years.

Total Separate Account Annual Expenses with Highest Optional Separate Account Expenses: This reflects the base separate account expenses, the Annual Step-Up Death Benefit fee, the Fund Facilitation fee, and Liquidity Rider (for the B-Share only), but does not include any Optional Rider Charges. The death benefits are mutually exclusive.
OPTIONAL RIDERS
In some cases, riders to the policy are available that provide optional benefits. There are additional fees (annualized fee charged on a yearly or quarterly basis, depending on the rider) for those riders.
Optional Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit Riders:
Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider - Total Withdrawal Base: We use the total withdrawal base to calculate the maximum annual withdrawal amount. The total withdrawal base on the rider date is the policy value (if X-Share is elected, less any premium enhancement if the rider is added in the first policy year).
Retirement Income Max® Rider and Retirement Income Choice® 1.6 Rider - Withdrawal Base: We use the withdrawal base to calculate the rider withdrawal amount. The withdrawal base on the rider date is the policy value (if the X-Share is elected, less any premium enhancement if the rider is added in the first policy year). For riders issued prior to May 1, 2014, fee information can be found in the “Appendix - Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit Comparison Table”.
Total Portfolio Annual Operating Expenses:
The fee table information relating to the underlying fund portfolios was provided to us by the underlying fund portfolios, their investment advisers or managers, and we have not and cannot independently verify the accuracy or completeness of such information. Actual future expenses of the portfolios may be greater or less than those shown in the Table. “Gross” expense figures do not reflect any fee waivers or expense reimbursements. Actual expenses may have been lower than those shown in the Table.
Expense Examples:
The Example does not reflect premium tax charges, special service fees, or transfer fees. Different fees and expenses not reflected in the Example may be assessed during the income phase of the policy.

THE ANNUITY
This prospectus describes information you should know before you purchase the Partners Variable Annuity SeriesSM.
An annuity is a contract between you, the owner, and an insurance company (in this case us), where the insurance company promises to pay you an income in the form of annuity payments. These payments begin on a designated date, referred to as the annuity commencement date. Until the annuity commencement date, your annuity is in the accumulation phase and the earnings (if any) are generally tax deferred. Tax deferral means you are not taxed until you take money out of your annuity. After you annuitize, your annuity switches to the income phase.
The policy is a “deferred” annuity. You can use the policy to accumulate funds for retirement or other long-term financial planning purposes. Your individual investment and your rights are determined primarily by your own policy.
The policy is a “flexible premium” annuity because after you purchase it, you can generally make additional premium payments of at least $50 (but not more than the stated maximum total premium payment amount) until the annuity commencement date. You are not required to make any additional premium payments.
The policy is a “variable” annuity because the value of your policy can go up or down based on the performance of your subaccounts. If you invest in the separate account, the amount of money you are able to accumulate in your policy during the accumulation phase depends upon the performance of your subaccounts. You could lose the amount you allocate to the separate account. The amount of annuity payments you receive from the separate account also depends upon the investment performance of your subaccounts for the income phase.
The fixed account may, but is not guaranteed to always, be offered. If the fixed account is offered it will offer interest at a rate(s) that we guarantee will not decrease during the selected guaranteed period. There may be different interest rates for each different guaranteed period that we may offer and that you select.
Do not purchase this policy if you plan to use it, or any of its riders, for resale, speculation, arbitrage, viatication, or any other type of collective investment scheme. Your policy is not intended or designed to be traded on any stock exchange or secondary market. By purchasing this policy, you represent and warrant that you are not using the policy, or any of its riders for resale, speculation, arbitrage, viatication, or any other type of collective investment scheme.
PURCHASE
Policy Issue Requirements
We will not issue a policy unless:
we receive in good order (See OTHER INFORMATION - Sending Forms and Transaction Requests in Good Order) all information needed to issue the policy;
we receive in good order (at our Administrative Office) a minimum initial premium (including anticipated premiums from 1035 exchanges on nonqualified policies and transfers or rollovers on qualified policies as indicated on your application or electronic order form) payment; and
the annuitant, owner, and any joint owner are age 89 or younger (the limit may be lower for qualified policies).
Please note, certain riders described herein may require a younger age. Please carefully read the applicable rider sections regarding any age limitations.
We reserve the right to reject any application.
Premium Payments
General. You should make checks for premium payments payable to Transamerica Life Insurance Company or Transamerica Financial Life Insurance Company, as applicable, and send them to the Administrative Office. Your check must be honored in order for us to pay any associated annuity payments and benefits due under the policy.
We do not accept cash. We reserve the right to not accept third party checks. A third party check is a check that is made payable to one person who endorses it and offers it as payment to a second person. Checks should normally be payable to us, however, in some circumstances, at our discretion we may accept third party checks that are from a rollover or transfer from other financial institutions. Any third party checks not accepted by us will be returned.
We reserve the right to reject or accept any form of payment. Any unacceptable forms of payment will be returned.
7

Initial Premium Requirements. The initial premium payment for nonqualified policies must be at least $5,000 (including anticipated premiums from 1035 exchanges as indicated on your application or electronic order form), and at least $1,000 for qualified policies (including anticipated premiums from transfers or rollovers as indicated on your application or electronic order form). You must obtain our prior approval to purchase a policy with an amount in excess of our maximum premium amount.
Your initial premium payment may not be credited to your policy on the day that you leave your premium payment with your financial intermediary. Your financial intermediary may take up to seven market days to assess whether buying this policy is suitable for you. Your financial intermediary may send us your initial premium payment while they complete this assessment. Your financial intermediary must also ensure that we have all the information needed for us to process your policy. We will not begin to process your policy during this period.
We will first begin our review only once we receive both your initial premium payment and your application (or an electronic order form). We will credit your initial premium payment to your policy within two market days after the market day that we receive your initial premium payment, your application (or order form) and once we determine that your policy information is both complete and in good order. This time period is in addition to the time your financial intermediary may take to complete their part of the process. If we are unable to complete our part of the process within five market days after the market day that we receive your initial premium payment and your application (or electronic order form), then we will notify you or your financial intermediary, if applicable, and explain why we can't process your policy. We will also return your initial premium payment at that time unless you consent to us holding the premium up to 30 days and credit it within two market days after your information is both complete and in good order. If your information is not received in good order within 30 days of your consent to hold the premium, then it will be returned to you.
Neither we nor your financial intermediary are responsible for lost investment opportunities while we each complete our review processes. Any initial premium payments received by us will be held in our general account until credited to your policy. You will not earn interest on your initial premium payment during these review periods.
The date on which we credit your initial premium payment to your policy is generally the policy date. The policy date is used to determine policy years, policy quarters, policy months and policy anniversaries.
Additional Premium Payments. You are not required to make any additional premium payments. However, you can generally make additional premium payments during the accumulation phase. Additional premium payments must be at least $50. After the first policy year, additional premium payments each policy year cannot, in the aggregate, without our prior approval exceed $25,000 for nonqualified policies and the lesser of (1) the IRS maximum contribution limit or (2) $60,000 for qualified policies. We reserve the right to refuse any additional premium payment in excess of these limits, and if you do not obtain prior approval for premiums in excess of the dollar amounts listed above, the business will be deemed not in good order. We will credit additional premium payments to your policy as of the market day we receive your premium and required information in good order at our Administrative Office. Additional premium payments must be received before the close of the New York Stock Exchange (usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) to get same-day pricing of the additional premium payment.
Maximum Total Premium Payments. For issue ages 0-80, we reserve the right to require prior approval of any cumulative premium payments over $1,000,000 (this includes subsequent premium payments) for policies with the same owner or same annuitant issued by us or an affiliate. For issue ages over 80, we reserve the right to require prior approval of any cumulative premium payments over $500,000 (this includes subsequent premium payments) for policies with the same owner or same annuitant issued by us or an affiliate. If you do not obtain prior approval for premium payments in excess of the dollar amounts listed above, the business will be deemed not in good order.
Allocation of Premium Payments. When you purchase a policy, we will allocate your premium payment to the investment choices you select. Your allocation must be in whole percentages and must total 100%. We will allocate additional premium payments the same way, unless you request a different allocation. You could lose the amount you allocate to the variable subaccounts.
If you allocate premium payments to the Dollar Cost Averaging program (if it is available), you must give us instructions regarding the subaccount(s) to which transfers are to be made or we cannot accept your premium payment.
You may change allocations for future additional premium payments by sending written instructions to our Administrative Office, or by telephone, or other electronic means acceptable to us, subject to the limitations described in ADDITIONAL FEATURES - Telephone and Electronic Transactions, or any other means acceptable to us. The allocation change will apply to premium payments received on or after the date we receive the change request in good order.
We reserve the right to restrict or refuse any premium payment.

Policy Value
You should expect your policy value to change from valuation period to valuation period. A valuation period begins at the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange on each market day and ends at the close of trading on the next succeeding market day. A market day is each day that the New York Stock Exchange is open for business. The New York Stock Exchange usually closes at 4:00 p.m., Eastern time. Holidays are generally not market days.
Premium Enhancement (X-Share). If you elect the X-Share, an amount equal to the applicable premium enhancement percentage (as set forth below) of the premium payment will be added to the policy value. The amount of the premium enhancement is not considered a premium payment and therefore may not be included in the calculation of certain policy features (such as certain death benefits or living benefits) or in the calculation of fees and charges that are based on premium payments made. The premium enhancement percentage may vary from premium to premium on subsequent premium payments, but will never be less than 0.25% nor more than 7.0%. A confirmation will be sent advising the owner of the amount of premium enhancement applicable to each subsequent premium payment. No premium enhancement will apply if the policy is canceled pursuant to the right to cancel provision.
The premium enhancement percentage is determined by the annuitant's age at the time of each premium payment. The percentage will decrease as the annuitant's attained age increases. The following schedule shows the current premium enhancement percentages:
Annuitant's Age   Premium Enhancement Percentage
0-59   5.5%
60-69   5.0%
70-79   4.0%
80+   2.0%
The current premium enhancement percentages are not guaranteed and, as noted above, may change to as little as 0.25%.
Generally, an annuity with a premium enhancement may have higher expenses than a similar annuity without a premium enhancement. Accordingly, you should always consider the expenses along with the features and enhancements to be sure any annuity meets your financial needs and goals.
There is no specific charge for the premium enhancement. We expect to use a portion of the mortality and expense risk fee, administrative charge and/or the surrender charge to pay the premium enhancement.
Once we have received all necessary regulatory approvals (but not before), we may take back or “recapture” the full dollar amount of any premium enhancement upon the occurrence of any of the following events: (1) exercise of the right to cancel option; (2) exercise of the Nursing Care and Terminal Condition Withdrawal Option or the Unemployment Waiver within one year from the time we apply the premium enhancement; (3) a death benefit is payable within one year from the time we apply the premium enhancement; or (4) annuitization within one year from the time we apply the premium enhancement. In certain circumstances, you might be worse off because of the premium enhancement. This could happen if we recapture the dollar amount of the premium enhancement and the overall investment performance of your policy was negative (if the overall investment performance of your policy was positive you would be better off). Please note, we will begin recapturing as soon as we receive all necessary approvals and will not provide advance notice.
The Internal Revenue Code generally requires that interests in a qualified policy be non-forfeitable, and it is unclear whether the premium enhancement feature is consistent with those requirements. Consult a tax adviser before purchasing the X-Share as a qualified policy.
The premium enhancement may vary for certain policies and may not be available for all policies.
INVESTMENT OPTIONS
This policy offers you a means of investing in various underlying fund portfolios offered by different investment companies (by investing in the corresponding subaccounts). The companies that provide investment advice and administrative services for the underlying fund portfolios offered through this policy are listed in the “Appendix - Underlying Fund Portfolios Associated with the Subaccounts.”
The general public may not purchase shares of any of these underlying fund portfolios. The names and investment objectives and policies may be similar to other portfolios managed by the same investment adviser or manager that are sold directly to the public. You should not expect the investment results of the underlying fund portfolios to be the same as those of other portfolios.
9

More detailed information, including an explanation of the portfolios' fees and investment objectives, may be found in the current prospectuses for the underlying fund portfolios, which accompany this prospectus. You should read the prospectuses for the underlying fund portfolios carefully before you invest.
Note: If you received a summary prospectus for any of the portfolios listed in “Appendix - Portfolios Associated with the Subaccounts”, please follow the instructions on the first page of the summary prospectus to obtain a copy of the full fund prospectus or its statement of additional information.
Selection of Underlying Fund Portfolios
The underlying fund portfolios offered through this variable annuity are selected by us, and we may consider various factors, including, but not limited to, asset class coverage, the strength of the adviser's or sub-adviser's reputation and tenure, brand recognition, performance, volatility, hedgeability, and the capability and qualification of each investment firm. Another factor that we may consider is whether the underlying fund portfolio or its service providers (e.g., the investment adviser or sub-advisers) or its affiliates will make payments to us or our affiliates. For additional information about these arrangements, see EXPENSES - Revenue We Receive. We review the portfolios periodically and may remove a portfolio, or limit its availability to new premium payments and/or transfers of cash value if we determine that a portfolio no longer satisfies one or more of the selection criteria, and/or if the portfolio has not attracted significant allocations from owners. We have included the Transamerica Series Trust (“TST”) underlying fund portfolios at least in part because they are managed by one of our affiliates, Transamerica Asset Management, Inc. (“TAM”).
We have developed this variable annuity in cooperation with one or more distributors, and may include certain underlying fund portfolios based on their recommendations. Their selection criteria may differ from our selection criteria.
You are responsible for choosing the subaccounts which invest in the underlying fund portfolios, and the amounts allocated to each, that are appropriate for your own individual circumstances and your investment goals, financial situation, and risk tolerance. Because investment risk is borne by you, decisions regarding investment allocations should be carefully considered. We do not recommend or endorse any particular underlying fund portfolio and we do not provide investment advice.
In making your investment selections, we encourage you to thoroughly investigate all of the information regarding the underlying fund portfolios that are available to you, including each underlying fund portfolio's prospectus, statement of additional information and annual and semi-annual reports. Other sources such as the fund's website provide more current information, including information about any regulatory actions or investigations relating to a fund or underlying fund portfolio. After you select underlying fund portfolios for your initial premium payment, you should monitor and periodically re-evaluate your allocations to determine if they are still appropriate.
You bear the risk of any decline in the cash value of your policy resulting from the performance of the underlying fund portfolios you have chosen.
We do not guarantee that any of the subaccounts will always be available for premium payments, allocations, or transfers. We will not add, delete or substitute any underlying fund portfolio shares attributable to your interest in a subaccount without notice to you and prior approval of the SEC, to the extent required by the 1940 Act or other applicable law.
We reserve the right to limit the number of subaccounts you are invested in at any one time.
If you elect certain optional riders, you will be subject to investment restrictions. In the future, we may change the investment restrictions.
Not all subaccounts may be available for all policies.
Addition, Deletion, or Substitution of Investment Options
We cannot and do not guarantee that any of the subaccounts will always be available for premium payments, allocations, or transfers. We retain the right, subject to any applicable law, to make certain changes to the separate account and its investment options. We reserve the right to add new portfolios (or portfolio classes) or close existing portfolios (or portfolio classes). We also reserve the right to eliminate the shares of any portfolio held by a subaccount and to substitute shares of another portfolio of the underlying fund portfolios, or of another registered open-end management investment company for the shares of any portfolio, if the shares of the portfolio are no longer available for investment or if, in our judgment, investment in any portfolio would be inappropriate in view of the purposes of the separate account. To the extent required by the 1940 Act, as amended, substitutions of shares attributable to your interest in a subaccount will not be made without prior notice to you and the prior approval of the SEC. Nothing contained herein shall prevent the separate account from purchasing other securities for other series or classes of variable annuity policies, or from affecting an exchange between series or classes of variable annuity policies on the basis of your requests.
10

New subaccounts may be established when, in our sole discretion, marketing, tax, investment or other conditions warrant. Any new subaccounts may be made available to existing owners on a basis to be determined by us. Each additional subaccount will purchase shares in an underlying fund portfolio, or other investment vehicle. We may also close or liquidate one or more subaccounts if, in our sole discretion, marketing, tax, investment or other conditions warrant such change. In the event any subaccount is closed or liquidated, we will notify you and request a reallocation of the amounts invested in the closed or liquidated subaccount. If we do not receive additional instructions, any subsequent premium payments, or transfers (including Dollar Cost Averaging transactions or asset rebalance programs transactions) into a closed subaccount will be re-allocated to the remaining available investment options according to the investment allocation instructions you previously provided. If your previous investment allocation instructions do not include any available investment options, we will require new instructions. If we do not receive new instructions, the requested transaction will be canceled and any premium payment will be returned. Under asset rebalance programs the value remaining in the closed subaccount will be excluded from any future rebalancing. The value of the closed subaccount will continue to fluctuate due to portfolio performance, and may exceed the original rebalance percentages you requested. As you consider your overall investment strategy within your policy, you should also consider whether or not to re-allocate the value remaining in the closed subaccount to another investment option. If you decide to re-allocate the value of the closed subaccount, you will need to provide us with instructions to achieve your goal. Under certain situations involving death benefit adjustments for continued policies, if an investment option is closed to new investment, the amount that would have been allocated thereto will instead be allocated pro-rata to the other current investment options you have value allocated to and which are open to new investment.
In the event of any such substitution or change, we may, by appropriate endorsement, make such changes in the policies as may be necessary or appropriate to reflect such substitution or change. Furthermore, if deemed to be in the best interests of persons having voting rights under the policies, the separate account may be (1) operated as a management company under the 1940 Act or any other form permitted by law, (2) deregistered under the 1940 Act in the event such registration is no longer required or (3) combined with one or more other separate accounts. To the extent permitted by applicable law, we also may (1) transfer the assets of the separate account associated with the policies to another account or accounts, (2) restrict or eliminate any voting rights of owners or other persons who have voting rights as to the separate account, (3) create new separate accounts, (4) add new subaccounts to or remove existing subaccounts from the separate account, or combine subaccounts or (5) add new underlying fund portfolios, or substitute a new underlying fund portfolio for an existing underlying fund portfolio.
The Fixed Account
The fixed account may, but is not guaranteed to always, be available. If available, premium payments allocated and amounts transferred to the fixed account become part of our general account. Interests in the general account have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “1933 Act”), nor is the general account registered as an investment company under the 1940 Act. Accordingly, neither the general account nor any interests therein are generally subject to the provisions of the 1933 or 1940 Acts. Disclosures relating to interests in the general account may, however, be subject to certain generally applicable provisions of the federal securities laws relating to the accuracy of statements made in a registration statement.
While we do not guarantee that the fixed account will always be available for investment, we do guarantee that the interest credited to the fixed account when available will not be less than the guaranteed minimum effective annual interest rate shown on your policy (the “guaranteed minimum”). We determine credited rates, which are guaranteed for at least one year, in our sole discretion. You bear the risk that we will not credit interest greater than the guaranteed minimum. At the end of the guaranteed period option you selected, the value in that guaranteed period option will automatically be transferred into the money market subaccount or if a money market subaccount is unavailable to a new guaranteed period option of the same length (or the next shorter period if the same period is no longer offered) at the current interest rate for that period. You can transfer to another investment option by giving us notice within 30 days before the end of the expiring guaranteed period.
Surrenders, withdrawals, transfers, and amounts applied to an annuity payment option from a guaranteed period option of the fixed account prior to the end of the guaranteed period are generally subject to an excess interest adjustment. See ACCESS TO YOUR MONEY - Excess Interest Adjustment for more information about when an excess interest adjustment applies. This adjustment will also be made to amounts that you apply to an annuity payment option. This adjustment may increase or decrease the amount of interest credited to your policy. The excess interest adjustment will not decrease the interest credited to your policy below the guaranteed minimum.
We also guarantee that upon full surrender your cash value attributable to the fixed account will not be less than the amount required by the applicable nonforfeiture law at the time the policy is issued.
11

If you select the fixed account, when it is available, your money will be placed with our other general assets. The amount of money you are able to accumulate in the fixed account during the accumulation phase depends upon the total interest credited. The amount of each annuity payment you receive during the income phase from the fixed portion of your policy will remain level for the entire income phase. The interest credited as well as principal invested in the fixed account is based on our claims-paying ability.
We reserve the right to refuse any premium payment or transfer to the fixed account.
Transfers
During the accumulation phase, you may make transfers to or from any investment option within certain limitations. Transfers out of a guaranteed period option of the fixed account are limited to the following:
Transfers at the end of a guaranteed period.
Transfers of amounts equal to interest credited. This may affect your overall interest-crediting rate, because unless otherwise directed transfers are deemed to come from the oldest premium payment first.
Other than at the end of a guaranteed period, transfers of amounts from the guaranteed period option in excess of amounts equal to interest credited, are subject to an excess interest adjustment. If it is a negative adjustment, the maximum amount you can transfer in any one policy year may be limited to 25% of the amount in that guaranteed period option, less any previous transfers during the current policy year. If it is a positive adjustment, we do not limit the amount that you can transfer.  (Note: This restriction may prolong the period of time it takes to transfer the full amount in the guaranteed period option of the fixed account.  You should carefully consider whether investment in the fixed account meets your needs and investment criteria.)
In general, each transfer must be at least $500, or the entire subaccount value. Transfers of interest from a guaranteed period option of the fixed account must be at least $50. If less than $500 remains as a result of the transfer, then we reserve the right to include that amount in the transfer. Transfer requests must be received in good order while the New York Stock Exchange is open to get same-day pricing of the transaction. See OTHER INFORMATION - Sending Forms and Transaction Requests in Good Order.
The number of transfers permitted may be limited and a $10 charge for each transfer in excess of 12 in any policy year may apply. We reserve the right to prohibit transfers to the fixed account.
During the income phase, you may transfer values out of any subaccount; however, you cannot transfer values out of the fixed account. The minimum amount that can be transferred during this phase is the lesser of $10 of monthly income, or the entire monthly income of the annuity units in the subaccount from which the transfer is being made.
Transfers made by telephone, or other electronic means acceptable to us, are subject to the limitations described in ADDITIONAL FEATURES - Telephone and Electronic Transactions.
Market Timing and Disruptive Trading
Statement of Policy. This variable annuity policy was not designed to accommodate market timing or frequent or large transfers among the subaccounts or between the subaccounts and the fixed account. (Both frequent and large transfers may be considered disruptive.)
Market timing and disruptive trading can adversely affect you, other owners, beneficiaries and underlying fund portfolios. The adverse effects may include: (1) dilution of the interests of long-term investors in a subaccount if purchases or transfers into or out of an underlying fund portfolio are made at prices that do not reflect an accurate value for the underlying fund portfolio’s investments (some market timers attempt to do this through methods known as “time-zone arbitrage” and “liquidity arbitrage”); (2) an adverse effect on portfolio management, such as (a) impeding a portfolio manager’s ability to seek or sustain an investment objective; (b) causing the underlying fund portfolio to maintain a higher level of cash than would otherwise be the case; or (c) causing an underlying fund portfolio to liquidate investments prematurely (or otherwise at an inopportune time) in order to pay withdrawals or transfers out of the underlying fund portfolio; and (3) increased brokerage and administrative expenses. These costs are borne by all owners invested in those subaccounts, not just those making the transfers.
We have developed policies and procedures with respect to market timing and disruptive trading (which vary for certain subaccounts at the request of the corresponding underlying fund portfolios) and we do not make special arrangements or grant exceptions to accommodate market timing or potentially disruptive trading. As discussed herein, we cannot detect or deter all market timing or potentially disruptive trading. Do not invest with us if you intend to conduct market timing or potentially disruptive trading or have concerns about our inability to detect or prevent any such trading.
12

Detection. We employ various means in an attempt to detect and deter market timing and disruptive trading. However, despite our monitoring we may not be able to detect nor halt all harmful trading. In addition, because other insurance companies (and retirement plans) with different policies and procedures may invest in the underlying fund portfolios, we cannot guarantee that all harmful trading will be detected or that an underlying fund portfolio will not suffer harm from market timing and disruptive trading among subaccounts of variable products issued by these other insurance companies or retirement plans.
Deterrence. If we determine you or anyone acting on your behalf is engaged in market timing or disruptive trading, we may take one or more actions in an attempt to halt such trading. Your ability to make transfers is subject to modification or restriction if we determine, in our sole opinion, that your exercise of the transfer privilege may disadvantage or potentially harm the rights or interests of other owners (or others having an interest in the variable insurance products). As described below, restrictions may take various forms, but under our current policies and procedures will include loss of expedited transfer privileges. We consider transfers by telephone, fax, overnight mail, or the Internet to be “expedited” transfers. This means that we would accept only written transfer requests with an original signature transmitted to us only by U.S. mail. We may also restrict the transfer privileges of others acting on your behalf, including your registered representative or an asset allocation or investment advisory service.
We reserve the right to reject any premium payment or transfer request from any person without prior notice, if, in our judgment, (1) the premium payment or transfer, or series of premium payments or transfers, would have a negative impact on an underlying fund portfolio's operations, or (2) if an underlying fund portfolio would reject or has rejected our purchase order or has instructed us not to allow that purchase or transfer, or (3) because of a history of market timing or disruptive trading. We may impose other restrictions on transfers, or even prohibit transfers for any owner who, in our view, has abused, or appears likely to abuse, the transfer privilege on a case-by-case basis. We may, at any time and without prior notice, discontinue transfer privileges, modify our procedures, impose holding period requirements or limit the number, size, frequency, manner, or timing of transfers we permit. Because determining whether to impose any such special restrictions depends on our judgment and discretion, it is possible that some owners could engage in disruptive trading that is not permitted for others. We also reserve the right to reverse a potentially harmful transfer if an underlying fund portfolio refuses or reverses our order; in such instances some owners may be treated differently than others in that some transfers may be reversed and others allowed. For all of these purposes, we may aggregate two or more trades or variable insurance products that we believe are connected by owner or persons engaged in trading on behalf of owners.
In addition, transfers for multiple policies invested in the Transamerica Series Trust underlying fund portfolios which are submitted together may be disruptive at certain levels. At the present time, such aggregated transactions likely will not cause disruption if less than one million dollars total is being transferred with respect to any one underlying fund portfolio (a smaller amount may apply to smaller portfolios). Please note that transfers of less than one million dollars may be disruptive in some circumstances and this general amount may change quickly.
For policies with Portfolio Allocation Method, the effect of transfers pursuant thereto may be considered disruptive for certain underlying fund portfolios. As a result, policy owners using Portfolio Allocation Method may have to change their selected underlying fund portfolios.
Please note: If you engage a third party investment adviser for asset allocation services, then you may be subject to these transfer restrictions because of the actions of your investment adviser in providing these services.
In addition to our internal policies and procedures, we will administer your variable annuity to comply with any applicable state, federal, and other regulatory requirements concerning transfers. We reserve the right to implement, administer, and charge you for any fee or restriction, including redemption fees, imposed by any underlying fund portfolio. To the extent permitted by law, we also reserve the right to defer the transfer privilege at any time that we are unable to purchase or redeem shares of any of the underlying fund portfolios.
Under our current policies and procedures, we do not:
impose redemption fees on transfers; or
expressly limit the number or size of transfers in a given period except for certain subaccounts where an underlying fund portfolio has advised us to prohibit certain transfers that exceed a certain size; or
provide a certain number of allowable transfers in a given period.
Redemption fees, transfer limits, and other procedures or restrictions imposed by the underlying funds or our competitors may be more or less successful than ours in deterring market timing or other disruptive trading and in preventing or limiting harm from such trading.
13

In the absence of a prophylactic transfer restriction (e.g., expressly limiting the number of trades within a given period or limiting trades by their size), it is likely that some level of market timing and disruptive trading will occur before it is detected and steps taken to deter it (although some level of market timing and disruptive trading can occur with a prophylactic transfer restriction). As noted above, we do not impose a prophylactic transfer restriction and, therefore, it is likely that some level of market timing and disruptive trading will occur before we are able to detect it and take steps in an attempt to deter it.
Please note that the limits and restrictions described herein are subject to our ability to monitor transfer activity. Our ability to detect market timing or disruptive trading may be limited by operational and technological systems, as well as by our ability to predict strategies employed by owners (or those acting on their behalf) to avoid detection. As a result, despite our efforts to prevent harmful trading activity among the variable investment options available under this variable insurance product, there is no assurance that we will be able to detect or deter market timing or disruptive trading by such owners or intermediaries acting on their behalf. Moreover, our ability to discourage and restrict market timing or disruptive trading may be limited by decisions of state regulatory bodies and court orders that we cannot predict.
Furthermore, we may revise our policies and procedures in our sole discretion at any time and without prior notice, as we deem necessary or appropriate (1) to better detect and deter harmful trading that may adversely affect other owners, other persons with material rights under the variable insurance products, or underlying fund shareholders generally, (2) to comply with state or federal regulatory requirements, or (3) to impose additional or alternative restrictions on owners engaging in market timing or disruptive trading among the investment options under the variable insurance product. In addition, we may not honor transfer requests if any variable investment option that would be affected by the transfer is unable to purchase or redeem shares of its corresponding underlying fund portfolio.
Underlying Fund Portfolio Frequent Trading Policies. The underlying fund portfolios may have adopted their own policies and procedures with respect to frequent purchases and redemptions of their respective shares. Underlying fund portfolios may, for example, assess a redemption fee (which we reserve the right to collect) on shares held for less than a certain period of time. The prospectuses for the underlying fund portfolios describe any such policies and procedures. The frequent trading policies and procedures of an underlying fund portfolio may be different, and more or less restrictive, than the frequent trading policies and procedures of other underlying fund portfolios and the policies and procedures we have adopted for our variable insurance products to discourage market timing and disruptive trading. Owners should be aware that we do not monitor transfer requests from owners or persons acting on behalf of owners against, nor do we apply, the frequent trading policies and procedures of the respective underlying fund portfolios that would be affected by the transfers.
Owners should be aware that we are required to provide to an underlying fund portfolio or its payee, promptly upon request, certain information about the trading activity of individual owners, and to restrict or prohibit further purchases or transfers by specific owners or persons acting on their behalf, identified by an underlying fund portfolio as violating the frequent trading policies established for the underlying fund portfolio.
Omnibus Orders. Owners and other persons with material rights under the variable insurance products also should be aware that the purchase and redemption orders received by the underlying fund portfolios generally are “omnibus” orders from intermediaries such as retirement plans and separate accounts funding variable insurance products. The omnibus orders reflect the aggregation and netting of multiple orders from individual retirement plan participants and individual owners of variable insurance products. The omnibus nature of these orders may limit the underlying fund portfolios' ability to apply their respective frequent trading policies and procedures.
We cannot guarantee that the underlying fund portfolios will not be harmed by transfer activity relating to the retirement plans or other insurance companies that may invest in the underlying fund portfolios. These other insurance companies are responsible for their own policies and procedures regarding frequent transfer activity. If their policies and procedures fail to successfully discourage harmful transfer activity, it may affect other owners of underlying fund portfolio shares, as well as the owners of all of the variable annuity or life insurance policies, including ours, whose variable investment options correspond to the affected underlying fund portfolios. In addition, if an underlying fund portfolio believes that an omnibus order we submit may reflect one or more transfer requests from owners engaged in market timing and disruptive trading, the underlying fund portfolio may reject the entire omnibus order and thereby delay or prevent us from implementing your request.
Investment Restrictions
If you elect certain optional riders, you will be subject to investment restrictions requiring you to invest in certain underlying fund portfolios, known as designated investment options. In the future, we may change the investment restrictions.
One or more of the underlying fund portfolios that may be designated investment options under each optional rider, in part, may include a volatility control strategy. Volatility control strategies, in periods of high market volatility, could limit your participation in market gains; this may conflict with your investment objectives by limiting your ability to maximize potential
14

growth of your policy value and, in turn, the value of any guaranteed benefit that is tied to investment performance. Volatility control strategies are intended to help limit overall volatility and reduce the effects of significant market downturns during periods of high market volatility, providing policy owners with the opportunity for smoother performance and better risk adjusted returns. Volatility control (and similar terms) can encompass a variety of investment strategies of different types and degrees; therefore, you should read the applicable annuity and underlying fund portfolio prospectuses carefully to understand how these investment strategies may affect your policy value and rider benefits. Our requirement to invest in accordance with designated investment options, which may include volatility control, may reduce our costs and risks associated with this rider. You pay an additional fee for the rider benefits which, in part, pay for protecting the rider benefit base from investment losses. Since the rider benefit base does not decrease as a result of investment losses, volatility control strategies might not provide meaningful additional benefit to you. You should carefully evaluate with your financial advisor whether to invest in underlying fund portfolios with volatility control strategies, taking into consideration the potential positive or negative impact that such strategy may have on your investment objectives, your policy value and the benefits under the riders. If you determine that funds with volatility control strategies are not consistent with your investment objectives, there continues to be other designated investment options available under the riders that do not invest in funds that utilize volatility control strategies.
For more information about the underlying fund portfolios and the investment strategies they employ, please refer to the underlying fund portfolios' current prospectuses.
EXPENSES
There are charges and expenses associated with your policy that reduce the return on your investment in the policy. In addition to the following charges, there are optional benefits that if selected, assess additional charges. Please see ADDITIONAL FEATURES for more information.
Surrender Charges
During the accumulation phase, you can surrender part or all of the cash value (restrictions may apply to qualified policies). We may apply a surrender charge to compensate us for start-up expenses of the policy relating to sales, including commissions to registered representatives and other promotional expenses.
You can surrender up to 10% of your premium payments each policy year free of surrender charges. This amount is referred to as the surrender charge free amount and is determined at the time of surrender. (This amount is not cumulative, so not surrendering anything in one year does not increase the surrender charge free amount in subsequent years.) If the surrender is in excess of the surrender charge free amount, you might have to pay a surrender charge, which is a contingent deferred sales charge, on the excess amount.
For example, assume you selected the B-Share and your premium is $100,000 and your policy value is $106,000 at the beginning of the second policy year and you surrender $30,000. Since that amount is more than your surrender charge free amount ($10,000), you would pay a surrender charge of $1,600 on the remaining $20,000 [8% of ($30,000 - $10,000)]. Likewise, assume you selected the B-Share and your policy value is $80,000 (premium payments $100,000) at the beginning of the second policy year and you surrender your policy. You would pay a surrender charge of $7,200 [8% of ($100,000 - ($100,000 x 10%))].
You can generally choose to receive the full amount of a requested partial surrender by directing us to deduct any applicable surrender charge (and any applicable excess interest adjustment) from your remaining policy value. You receive your cash value upon full surrender.
Surrender charges are waived if you surrender money under the Nursing Care and Terminal Condition Withdrawal Option or the Unemployment Waiver.
For surrender charge purposes, earnings are considered to be surrendered first, then the oldest premium is considered to be surrendered next. Please note, while there is no surrender charge on the withdrawal of earnings, withdrawn earnings do count towards your surrender charge free amount. This means that withdrawing earnings will reduce (possibly to zero) your surrender charge free amount (10% of premium payments) for that policy year.
Keep in mind that surrenders may be taxable and, if made before age 59½, may be subject to a 10% federal penalty tax. For tax purposes, surrenders from nonqualified policies are considered to come from taxable earnings first.
We may elect to reduce or eliminate the amount of the surrender charge when the policy is sold under circumstances which reduce our sales or other expenses or when required to by regulation or regulatory authority.
15

Liquidity Rider Surrender Charge Schedule. The optional Liquidity Rider (only available with the B-Share) reduces the number of years each premium payment is subject to surrender charges from seven years to four years. The surrender charge schedule is the same as the B-Share during the first four years for each premium payment. There is an extra charge for this rider.
Excess Interest Adjustment
Surrenders, withdrawals, transfers, amounts applied when a death benefit is calculated, and amounts applied to an annuity option from the fixed account may be subject to an excess interest adjustment. This adjustment could retroactively reduce the interest credited in the fixed account to the guaranteed minimum or increase the amount credited. This adjustment may also apply to amounts applied to an annuity payment option. Please see “Appendix - Excess Interest Adjustment Examples” for an example showing the effect of a hypothetical excess interest adjustment calculation. The excess interest adjustment plays a role in calculating the total interest credited to the fixed account.
Mortality and Expense Risk Fees
We charge a fee as compensation for bearing certain mortality and expense risks under the policy. This fee is assessed daily based on the net asset value of each subaccount. Examples of such risks include a guarantee of annuity rates, the death benefit, certain expenses of the policy (including distribution related expenses), and assuming the risk that the current charges will be insufficient in the future to cover costs of selling, distributing and administering the policy.
If this charge does not cover our actual costs, we absorb the loss. Conversely, if the charge more than covers actual costs, the excess is added to our surplus. We expect to profit from this charge. We may use any profit for any proper purpose, including distribution expenses.
Premium Taxes
A deduction is also made for premium taxes, if any, imposed on us by a state, municipality or other government agency. The tax, currently ranging from 0% to 3.50%, is assessed at the time premium payments are made or when annuity payments begin. We pay the premium tax at the time it is imposed. We will, at our discretion, deduct the total amount of premium taxes, if any, from the policy value when such taxes are due to the applicable taxing authority, you begin receiving annuity payments, you surrender the policy or a death benefit is paid.
Federal, State and Local Taxes
We may in the future deduct charges from the policy for any taxes we incur because of the policy. However, no deductions are being made at the present time.
Special Service Fees
We may deduct a charge for special services, including overnight delivery; duplicate policies; non-sufficient checks on new business; duplicate Form 1099 and Form 5498 tax forms; duplicate disclosure documents and semi-annual reports; check copies; printing and mailing previously submitted forms; and asset verification requests from mortgage companies. In addition, we may consider as special services customer initiated changes, modifications and transactions which are submitted in such a manner as to require us to incur additional processing costs.
Transfer Fee
You are generally allowed to make 12 free transfers per policy year before the annuity commencement date. If you make more than 12 transfers per policy year, we reserve the right to charge for each additional transfer. Premium payments, Asset Rebalancing, and Dollar Cost Averaging transfers do not count as one of your free transfers. All transfer requests made at the same time are treated as a single transfer.
Service Charge
We reserve the right to increase the annual service charge up to the maximum. A portion of the service charge may be waived, but is not guaranteed to always be waived. We reserve the right to vary the amount of any waiver and the circumstances in which any waiver or waivers apply.
16

Administrative Charges
We deduct a daily administrative charge to cover the costs of supporting and administering the policy (including certain distribution-related expenses). This charge is equal to a percentage of the daily net asset value of each subaccount during both the accumulation phase and the income phase.
Fund Facilitation Fee
We charge a fund facilitation fee in order to make certain subaccounts available as investment options under the policies. We apply the fee to subaccounts that invest in underlying funds that do not provide us with the amount of revenue we require in order for us to meet our expenses and revenue targets. This fee is assessed daily based on the net asset value of subaccounts that we specify.
Optional Benefits
If you elect to purchase optional benefits, we will deduct an additional fee. For some optional benefits the fee is assessed against the daily net asset value of each subaccount and for others it is deducted from each investment option in proportion to the amount of policy value in each investment option. Please refer to the FEE TABLE AND EXPENSE EXAMPLES for the list of fees for each optional benefit and ADDITIONAL FEATURES for more information.
Portfolio Fees and Expenses
The value of the assets in each subaccount will reflect the fees and expenses paid by the underlying fund portfolios. The lowest and highest underlying fund portfolio expenses for the previous calendar year are found in FEE TABLE AND EXPENSE EXAMPLES in this prospectus. See the prospectuses for the underlying fund portfolios for more information.
Reduced Fees and Charges
We may, at our discretion, reduce or eliminate certain fees and charges for certain policies (including employer-sponsored savings plans) which may result in decreased costs and expenses.
Revenue We Receive
This prospectus describes generally the payments that we (and/or our affiliates) may directly or indirectly receive from the underlying fund portfolios, their advisers, subadvisers, distributors or affiliates thereof, in connection with certain administrative, marketing and other support services we (and/or our affiliates) provide and expenses we incur in offering and selling our variable insurance products. These arrangements are sometimes referred to as “revenue sharing” arrangements and are described further below. While only certain of the types of payments described below may be made in connection with your particular policy, all such payments may nonetheless influence or impact actions we (and/or our affiliates) take, and recommendations we (and our affiliates) make, regarding each of the variable insurance products that we (and our affiliates) offer, including your policy.
We (and/or our affiliates) may receive some or all of the following types of payments:
• Rule 12b-1 Fees. We and/or our affiliate, Transamerica Capital, Inc. (“TCI”) who is the principal underwriter for the policies, indirectly receive 12b-1 fees from certain underlying fund portfolios available as investment options under our variable insurance products. Any 12b-1 fees received by TCI that are attributable to our variable insurance products are then credited to us. These fees range from 0.00% to 0.35% of the average daily assets of the certain underlying fund portfolios attributable to the policies and to certain other variable insurance products that we and our affiliates issue.
• Administrative, Marketing and Support Service Fees (“Support Fees”). As noted above, an investment adviser, subadviser, administrator and/or distributor (or affiliates thereof) of the underlying fund portfolios may make payments to us and/or our affiliates, including TCI. These payments may be derived, in whole or in part, from the profits the investment adviser or subadviser realized on the advisory fee deducted from underlying fund portfolio assets. Policy owners, through their indirect investment in the underlying fund portfolios, bear the costs of these advisory fees (see the prospectuses for the underlying funds for more information). The amount of the payments we (or our affiliates) receive is generally based on a percentage of the assets of the particular underlying fund portfolios attributable to the policy and to certain other variable insurance products that our affiliates and we issue. These percentages differ and the amounts may be significant. Some advisers or sub-advisers (or other affiliates) pay us more than others.
17

The following chart provides the maximum combined percentages of 12b-1 fees and Support Fees that we anticipate will be paid to us on an annual basis.
Incoming Payments to Us and/or TCI
Fund   Maximum Fee % of assets
TRANSAMERICA SERIES TRUST   0.25%
AB VARIABLE PRODUCTS SERIES FUND, INC.   0.45%
AMERICAN FUNDS INSURANCE SERIES® TRUST   0.25%
FIDELITY ® VARIABLE INSURANCE PRODUCTS FUND   0.395%
GE INVESTMENTS FUNDS, INC.   0.45%
NOTES TO INCOMING PAYMENTS TABLE:
Maximum Fee % of assets: Payments are based on a percentage of the average assets of each underlying fund portfolio owned by the subaccounts available under this policy and under certain other variable insurance products offered by our affiliates and us. We and/or TCI may continue to receive 12b-1 fees and administrative fees on funds invested in subaccounts that are closed to new premium payments, depending on the terms of the agreements supporting those payments and on the services provided.
TST: Because TST is managed by TAM, an affiliate of ours, there are additional benefits to us and our affiliates for amounts you allocate to the TST underlying fund portfolios, in terms of our and our affiliates’ overall profitability. These additional benefits may be significant. Payments or other benefits may be received from TAM. Such payments or benefits may be entered into for a variety of purposes, such as to allocate resources to us and to provide administrative services to the policyholders who invest in subaccounts that invest in the TST underlying fund portfolios. These payments or benefits may take the form of internal credits, recognition, or cash payments. A variety of financial and accounting methods may be used to allocate resources and profits to us. Additionally, if a TST portfolio is subadvised by an entity that is affiliated with us, we may retain more revenue than on those TST portfolios that are subadvised by non-affiliated entities. During 2014 we received $193,786,739.87 for Transamerica Life Insurance Company and $11,056,449.12 for Transamerica Financial Life Insurance Company in benefits from TAM pursuant to these arrangements. This includes the 0.25% amount in the above chart. We anticipate receiving comparable amounts in the future.
Fidelity ® Variable Insurance Products Fund: We receive this percentage once $100 million in fund shares are held by the subaccounts of ours and our affiliates.
Other Payments. TCI also serves as the wholesale distributor for the policies, and in that capacity directly or indirectly receives additional amounts or different percentages of assets under management from certain advisers and subadvisers to the underlying fund portfolios (or their affiliates) with regard to variable insurance products and/or mutual funds that are issued by us and our affiliates. These amounts may be derived, in whole or in part, from the profits the investment adviser or subadviser receives from the advisory fee deducted from underlying fund portfolio assets. Owners, through their indirect investment in the underlying fund portfolios, bear the costs of these advisory fees. Certain advisers and subadvisers of the underlying fund portfolios (or their affiliates):
may each directly or indirectly pay TCI amounts up to $75,000 per year to participate in a “preferred sponsor” program that provides such advisers and subadvisers with access to TCI's wholesalers at TCI's national and regional sales conferences as well as internal and external meetings and events that are attended by TCI's wholesalers and/or other TCI employees.
may provide our affiliates and/or selling firms with wholesaling services to assist us in the distribution of the policies.
may provide us and/or certain affiliates and/or selling firms with occasional gifts, meals, tickets or other compensation as an incentive to market the underlying fund portfolios and to assist with their promotional efforts. The amounts may be significant and these arrangements provide the adviser or subadviser (or other affiliates) with increased access to us and to our affiliates involved in the distribution of the policies.
For the calendar year ended December 31, 2014, TCI and its affiliates received revenue sharing payments that totaled approximately $750,000. The firms that paid revenue to participate in TCI sponsored events included but were not limited to the following: Aegon USA Investment Management • Alliance Bernstein Investments • American Funds • Barrow, Hanley, Mewhinney & Strauss • BlackRock Investment Management, LLC • CBRE Clarion Real Estate Securities • Fidelity Investments • Janus Capital • Jennison Associates • JP Morgan Asset Management • Kayne Anderson Capital • Legg Mason Capital Management • Logan Circle Investment Partners • Morningstar Advisers • Natixis Global Asset Management • Pacific Investment Management Company • PineBridge Investments • Ranger Investments • Systematic Financial Management • Thompson Siegel & Walmsley, LLC • Vanguard • Wellington Management Company.
Please note some of the aforementioned managers and/or subadvisers may not be associated with underlying fund portfolios currently available in this product.
18

Proceeds from certain of these payments by the underlying fund portfolios, the advisers, the subadvisers and/or their affiliates may be used for any corporate purpose, including payment of expenses (1) that we and our affiliates incur in promoting, marketing, and administering the policy, and (2) that we incur, in our role as intermediary, in promoting, marketing, and administering the underlying fund portfolios. We and our affiliates may profit from these payments.
For further details about the compensation payments we make in connection with the sale of the policies, see OTHER INFORMATION - Distribution of the Policies in this prospectus.
ACCESS TO YOUR MONEY
During the accumulation phase, you can have access to the money in your policy in the following ways:
by making a surrender (either a full or partial surrender); or
by taking systematic payouts (See ADDITIONAL FEATURES - Systematic Payout Option for more details).
Surrenders
During the accumulation phase, if you take a full surrender you will receive your cash value. If you want to take a partial surrender, in most cases it must be for at least $500 . Unless you tell us otherwise, we will take the surrender from each of the investment options in proportion to the policy value. Surrenders may be referred to as withdrawals on your policy statement and other documents.
You may elect to take up to the surrender charge free amount each policy year without incurring a surrender charge. Remember that any surrender you take will reduce the policy value, and the amount of the death benefit. See DEATH BENEFIT, for more details. A partial surrender also may have a negative impact on certain other benefits and guarantees of your policy. See ADDITIONAL FEATURES, for more details.
Surrenders in excess of the surrender charge free amount may be subject to a surrender charge. Surrenders from the fixed account may be subject to an excess interest adjustment. Income taxes, federal tax penalties and certain restrictions may apply to any surrenders you make.
Surrenders from qualified policies may be restricted or prohibited.
During the income phase, you will receive annuity payments under the annuity payment option you select; however, you generally may not take any other surrenders, either full or partial.
Delay of Payment and Transfers
Payment of any amount due from the separate account for a surrender, a death benefit, or the death of the owner of a nonqualified policy, will generally occur within seven days from the date we receive in good order all required information at our Administrative Office. We may defer such payment from the separate account if:
the New York Stock Exchange is closed other than for usual weekends or holidays or trading on the Exchange is otherwise restricted;
an emergency exists as defined by the SEC or the SEC requires that trading be restricted; or
the SEC permits a delay for the protection of owners.
Transfers of amounts from the subaccounts also may be deferred under these circumstances. In addition, if, pursuant to SEC rules, the Transamerica Aegon Money Market VP portfolio (or any money market portfolio offered under this policy) suspends payment of redemption proceeds in connection with a liquidation of the portfolio, then we may delay payment of any transfer, surrender (either full or partial), loan, or death benefit from the TA Aegon Money Market subaccount until the portfolio is liquidated.
Any payment or transfer request which is not in good order will cause a delay. See OTHER INFORMATION - Sending Forms and Transaction Requests in Good Order.
Federal laws designed to counter terrorism and prevent money laundering by criminals might in certain circumstances require us to reject a premium payment and/or “freeze” an owner's account. If these laws apply in a particular situation, we would not be allowed to pay any request for surrenders (either full or partial), or death benefits, make transfers, or continue making annuity payments absent instructions from the appropriate federal regulator. We may also be required to provide information about you and your policy to government agencies or departments.
Pursuant to the requirements of certain state laws, we reserve the right to defer payment of the cash value from the fixed account for up to six months. We may defer payment of any amount until your premium payment check has cleared your bank.
19

Excess Interest Adjustment
Surrenders, withdrawals, transfers, and amounts applied to an annuity option, from a guaranteed period option of the fixed account before the end of its guaranteed period (the number of years you specified the money would remain in the guaranteed period option) may be subject to an excess interest adjustment. If, at the time of such transactions the guaranteed interest rate set by us for the applicable period has risen since the date of the initial guarantee, the excess interest adjustment will result in a lower cash value (but not below the excess interest adjustment floor described in “Appendix - Excess Interest Adjustment Examples”). However, if the guaranteed interest rate for the applicable period has fallen since the date of the initial guarantee, the excess interest adjustment will result in a higher cash value upon surrender or transfer. Please see “Appendix - Excess Interest Adjustment Examples” to see how the excess interest adjustment is calculated and illustrative examples using hypothetical values.
Any amount surrendered in excess of the cumulative interest credited for that guaranteed period option is generally subject to an excess interest adjustment. An excess interest adjustment may also be made on amounts applied to an annuity payment option.
The formula that will be used to determine the excess interest adjustment is:
S* (G-C)* (M/12)
S = Is the amount (before surrender charges, premium taxes and the application of any Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefits, if any) being surrendered, withdrawn, transferred, paid upon death, or applied to an income option that is subject to the excess interest adjustment;
G = Is the guaranteed interest rate for the guaranteed period applicable to “S”;
C = Is the current guaranteed interest rate then being offered on new premium payments for the next longer option period than “M”. If this policy form or such an option period is no longer offered, “C” will be the U.S. Treasury rate for the next longer maturity (in whole years) than “M” on the 25th day of the previous calendar month; and
M = Number of months remaining in the current option period for “S”, rounded up to the next higher whole number of months.
* = multiplication
Please see “Appendix - Excess Interest Adjustment Examples” for more detailed information concerning the excess interest adjustment calculation.
There will be no excess interest adjustment on any of the following:
withdrawals of cumulative interest credited for that guaranteed period option;
Nursing Care and Terminal Condition Waiver surrenders;
Unemployment Waiver surrenders;
transfers from a Dollar Cost Averaging fixed source;
withdrawals to satisfy any minimum distribution requirements; and
systematic withdrawals, which do not exceed cumulative interest credited at the time of payment.
Please note that in these circumstances you will not receive a higher cash value if interest rates have fallen nor will you receive a lower cash value if interest rates have risen.
The excess interest adjustment may vary for certain policies and may not be applicable for all policies.
Signature Guarantee
As a protection against fraud, we require a signature guarantee (i.e., Medallion Signature Guarantee as required by us) for the following transaction requests:
Any surrenders over $250,000;
Certain surrenders on or within 15 days of an address change;
Any surrender request made on or within 15 days of an ownership change;
Any surrender when we have been directed to send proceeds to a different personal address from the address of record for that owner. PLEASE NOTE: This requirement will not apply to requests made in connection with exchanges of one annuity for another with the same owner in a “tax-free exchange”;
20

Any surrender when we do not have an originating or guaranteed signature on file;
Any other transaction we require.
We may change the specific requirements listed above, or add signature guarantees in other circumstances, at our discretion if we deem it necessary or appropriate to help protect against fraud. For current requirements, please refer to the requirements listed on the appropriate form or call us at (800)525-6205.
You can obtain a Medallion signature guarantee from more than 7,000 financial institutions across the United States and Canada that participate in a Medallion signature guarantee program. The best source of a Medallion signature guarantee is a bank, savings and loan association, brokerage firm, or credit union with which you do business. A notary public cannot provide a Medallion signature guarantee. Notarization will not substitute for a Medallion signature guarantee.
ANNUITY PAYMENTS (THE INCOME PHASE)
Upon the annuity commencement date, which is the date your policy is annuitized and annuity payments begin, your annuity switches from the accumulation phase to the income phase. You can generally change the annuity commencement date by giving us 30 days notice with the new date or age. Unless required by state law this date cannot be earlier than the third policy anniversary. The latest annuity commencement date generally cannot be later than the last day of the month following the month in which the annuitant attains age 99 (earlier if required by state law).
Before the annuity commencement date, if the annuitant is alive, you may choose an annuity payment option or change your election. If the annuitant dies before the annuity commencement date, the death benefit is payable in a lump sum or under one of the annuity payment options (unless the surviving spouse is eligible to and elects to continue the policy). If the annuitant dies after the annuity commencement date, no death benefit is payable and the amount payable will depend on the annuity income option.
Your policy may not be “partially” annuitized, i.e., you may not apply a portion of your policy value to an annuity option while keeping the remainder of your policy in force.
Unless you specify otherwise, the owner will receive the annuity payments. After the annuitant's death, the beneficiary you designate at annuitization will receive any remaining guaranteed payments.
Annuity Payment Options
The policy provides several annuity payment options (also known as income options) that are described below. You may choose any combination of annuity payment options. We will use your adjusted policy value to provide these annuity payments. If the adjusted policy value on the annuity commencement date is less than $2,000, we reserve the right to pay it in one lump sum in lieu of applying it under an annuity payment option. You can receive annuity payments monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually. (We reserve the right to change the frequency if annuity payments would be less than the amount specified in your policy.) We may require proof of life before making annuity payments.
In deciding on which annuity payment option to elect, you must decide if fixed or variable payments are better for you. If you choose to receive fixed annuity payments, then the amount of each payment will be set on the annuity commencement date and will not change. You may, however, choose to receive variable annuity payments. The dollar amount of the first variable annuity payment will be determined in accordance with the annuity payment rates set forth in the applicable table contained in the policy. The dollar amount of additional variable annuity payments will vary based on the investment performance of the subaccount(s) you select. The dollar amount of each variable annuity payment after the first may increase, decrease, or remain constant. If the actual investment performance (net of fees and expenses) exactly matched the assumed investment return of 3% at all times, the amount of each variable annuity payment would remain constant. If actual investment performance (net of fees and expenses) exceeds the assumed investment return, the amount of the variable annuity payments would increase. Conversely, if actual investment performance (net of fees and expenses) is lower than the assumed investment return, the amount of the variable annuity payments would decrease.
You must also decide if you want your annuity payments to be guaranteed for the annuitant's lifetime, a period certain, or a combination thereof. Generally, annuity payments will be lower if you combine a period certain, guaranteed amount, or liquidity with a lifetime guarantee (e.g., Life Income with 10 years Certain and Life with Guaranteed Return of Policy proceeds). Likewise, annuity payments will also generally be lower the longer the period certain (because you are guaranteed payments for a longer time).
A charge for premium taxes and an excess interest adjustment may be made when annuity payments begin.
The annuity payment options currently available are explained below. Some options are fixed only.
21

Income for a Specified Period of at least 10 years (fixed only). We will make level annuity payments only for a fixed period of at least 10 years. No funds will remain at the end of the period. If your policy is a qualified policy, this annuity payment option may not satisfy minimum required distribution rules. Consult a tax advisor before electing this option.
Income of a Specified Amount (fixed only). Payments are made for any specified amount until the amount applied to this option, with interest, is exhausted. This will be a series of level annuity payments followed by a smaller final annuity payment. If your policy is a qualified policy, this annuity payment option may not satisfy minimum required distribution rules. Consult a tax advisor before electing this option.
Life Income. You may choose between:
No Period Certain (fixed or variable) - Payments will be made only during the annuitant's lifetime. The last annuity payment will be the payment immediately before the annuitant's death.
10 Years Certain (fixed or variable) - Payments will be made for the longer of the annuitant's lifetime or ten years.
Guaranteed Return of Policy Proceeds (fixed only) - Payments will be made for the longer of the annuitant's lifetime or until the total dollar amount of annuity payments we made to you equals the annuitized amount (i.e., the adjusted policy value).
Joint and Survivor Annuity. You may choose:
No Period Certain (fixed or variable) - Payments are made during the joint lifetime of the annuitant and a joint annuitant of your selection. Annuity payments will be made as long as either person is living.
10 Year Certain (fixed only) - Payments will be made for the longer of the lifetime of the annuitant and joint annuitant or ten years.
Other annuity payment options may be arranged by agreement with us. Some annuity payment options may not be available for all policies, all ages or we may limit certain annuity payment options to ensure they comply with the applicable tax law provisions.
NOTE CAREFULLY
IF:
you choose Life Income with No Period Certain or a Joint and Survivor Annuity with No Period Certain; and
the annuitant dies (or both joint annuitants die) before the due date of the second (third, fourth, etc.) annuity payment;
THEN:
we may make only one (two, three, etc.) annuity payments.
IF:
you choose Income for a Specified Period, Life Income with 10 Years Certain, Life Income with Guaranteed Return of Policy Proceeds, or Income of a Specified Amount; and
the person receiving annuity payments dies prior to the end of the guaranteed period;
THEN:
the remaining guaranteed annuity payments will be continued to a new payee, or their present value may be paid in a single sum.
We will not pay interest on amounts represented by uncashed annuity payment checks if the postal or other delivery service is unable to deliver checks to the payee's address of record. The person receiving annuity payments is responsible for keeping us informed of his/her current address.
You must annuitize your policy no later than the maximum annuity commencement date specified in your policy (earlier for certain distribution channels) or a later date if agreed to by us. If you do not elect an annuity payment option, the default option will be Life with 10 Years Certain (subject to certain exceptions for qualified policies). If any portion of the default annuitization is a variable payout option, then annuity units will be purchased proportionally based off your available current investment allocations. Please note, all benefits (including guaranteed minimum death benefits and living benefits) terminate upon annuitization. The only benefits that remain include the guarantees provided under the terms of the annuity option.
DEATH BENEFIT
We will pay a death benefit to your beneficiary, under certain circumstances, if the annuitant dies during the accumulation phase. If there is a surviving owner(s) when the annuitant dies, the surviving owner(s) will receive the death benefit instead of the listed beneficiary. The person receiving the death benefit may choose an annuity payment option (if you pick a variable annuity payment
22

option fees and expenses will apply), or may choose to receive the death benefit via partial withdrawals, or lump sum withdrawal. The guarantees of these death benefits are based on our claims-paying ability. No death benefit will be payable upon or after the annuity commencement date. Please note that there is a mandatory annuity commencement date.
We will determine the amount of and process the death benefit proceeds, if any are payable on a policy, upon receipt at our Administrative Office of satisfactory proof of the annuitant's death, directions regarding how to process the death benefit, and any other documents, forms and information that we need (collectively referred to as “due proof of death”). For policies with multiple beneficiaries, we will process when the first beneficiary provides us with due proof of their share of the death proceeds. We will not pay any remaining beneficiary their share until we receive due proof of death from that beneficiary. Such beneficiaries continue to bear the investment risk until they submit due proof of death. Please note, we may be required to remit the death benefit proceeds to a state prior to receiving “due proof of death.” See OTHER INFORMATION - Abandoned or Unclaimed Property.
Please Note: Such due proof of death must be received in good order to avoid a delay in processing the death benefit claim. Due proof requires selecting a payment option. See OTHER INFORMATION - Sending Forms and Transaction Requests in Good Order.
The death benefit proceeds remain invested in the separate account in accordance with the allocations made by the policy owner until the beneficiary has provided us with due proof of death. Once we receive due proof of death, investments in the separate account may be reallocated in accordance with the beneficiary's instructions.
We may permit the beneficiary to give a “one-time” written instruction to reallocate the policy value in the separate account to the money market subaccount after the death of the annuitant. If there is more than one beneficiary, all beneficiaries must agree to the reallocation instructions. This one-time reallocation will be permitted if the beneficiary provides satisfactory evidence of the annuitant's death (satisfactory evidence may include a certified death certificate).
When We Pay A Death Benefit
We will pay a death benefit IF:
you are both the annuitant and sole owner of the policy; and
you die before the annuity commencement date.
We will pay a death benefit to you (owner) IF:
you are not the annuitant; and
the annuitant dies before the annuity commencement date.
If the sole beneficiary receiving the death benefit is the surviving spouse of the owner, then he or she may elect, if eligible, to continue the policy as the new annuitant and owner, instead of receiving the death benefit. See DEATH BENEFIT - Spousal Continuation. All currently existing surrender charges will be waived.
When We Do Not Pay A Death Benefit
We will not pay a death benefit IF:
you are the owner but not the annuitant; and
you die prior to the annuity commencement date.
Please note: Distribution requirements apply upon the death of any owner. Generally, upon the owner's death (who is not the annuitant) the entire interest must be distributed within five years. See TAX INFORMATION for a more detailed discussion of the distribution requirements under the Code.
Deaths After the Annuity Commencement Date
The amount payable, if any, on or after the annuity commencement date depends on the annuity income option.
IF:
you are not the annuitant; and
you die on or after the annuity commencement date; and
the entire guaranteed interest in the policy has not been paid;
THEN:
the remaining portion of such guaranteed interest in the policy will continue to be distributed at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution being used as of the date of your death.
23

IF:
you are the owner and annuitant; and
you die after the annuity commencement date; and
the annuity payment option you selected did not have or no longer has a guaranteed period;
THEN:
no additional payments will be made.
Succession of Ownership
If an owner (who is not the annuitant) dies during the accumulation phase, the person or entity first listed below who is alive or in existence on the date of that death will become the new owner:
any surviving owner;
primary beneficiary;
contingent beneficiary; or
owner's estate.
Spousal Continuation
If the sole primary beneficiary is the spouse, upon the owner's or the annuitant's death, the beneficiary may elect to continue the policy in his or her own name. Upon the annuitant's death if such election is made, the policy value will be adjusted upward (but not downward) to an amount equal to the death benefit amount determined upon such election and receipt of due proof of death of the annuitant. Any excess of the death benefit amount over the policy value will be allocated to each applicable investment option in the ratio that the policy value in the investment option bears to the total policy value. The terms and conditions of the policy that applied prior to the annuitant's death will continue to apply, with certain exceptions described in the policy. For purposes of the death benefit on the continued policy, the death benefit is calculated in the same manner as it was prior to continuation on the date the spouse continues the policy. See TAX INFORMATION - Same Sex Relationships for more information concerning spousal continuation involving same sex spouses.
For these purposes, if the sole primary beneficiary of the policy is a revocable grantor trust and the spouse of the owner/annuitant is the sole grantor, trustee, and beneficiary of the trust and the trust is using the spouse of the owner/annuitant's social security number at the time of claim, she or he shall be treated as the owner/annuitant's spouse. In those circumstances, the owner/annuitant's spouse will be treated as the beneficiary of the policy for purposes of applying the spousal continuation provisions of the policy.
For these purposes, if the owner is an individual retirement account within the meaning of IRC sections 408 or 408A and if the annuitant's spouse is the sole primary beneficiary of the annuitant's interest in such account, the annuitant's spouse will be treated as the beneficiary of the policy for purposes of applying the spousal continuation provisions of the policy.
Amount of Death Benefit
Death benefit provisions may differ from state to state. The death benefit may be paid as a lump sum, partial withdrawals or as annuity payments. The amount of the death benefit depends on the guaranteed minimum death benefit option, if any, you choose when you buy the policy. The “base policy” death benefit will generally be the greatest of:
the policy value on the date we receive the required information in good order at our Administrative Office;
the cash value on the date we receive in good order the required information at our Administrative Office (this will be more than the policy value if there is a positive excess interest adjustment that exceeds the surrender charge);
minimum required cash value; and
the guaranteed minimum death benefit (if one was elected) on the date of death; plus premium payments, minus withdrawals, from the date of death to the date the death benefit is paid less any recaptured premium enhancement. Please see “Appendix - Death Benefit” for illustrative examples regarding death benefit calculations.
Please note: The death benefit terminates upon annuitization and there is a maximum annuity commencement date.
Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit
The guaranteed minimum death benefit terminates upon annuitization and there is a mandatory annuity commencement date. On the policy application, you may generally choose a guaranteed minimum death benefit (age limitations may apply) for an additional fee. After the policy is issued, you cannot make an election and the death benefit cannot be changed.
24

Annual Step-Up Death Benefit
Under this option, on each policy anniversary prior to your 81st birthday, a new “stepped-up” death benefit is determined and becomes the guaranteed minimum death benefit for that policy year. This “step-up” death benefit is equal to:
the largest policy value on the policy date or on any policy anniversary prior to the earlier of the annuitant's date of death or the annuitant's 81st birthday; plus
any premium payments since the date of any policy anniversary with the largest policy value; minus
any adjusted partial surrenders (please see “Appendix - Death Benefit”) since the date of the policy anniversary with the largest policy value to the date of death; minus
withdrawals from the date of death to the date the death benefit is paid.
The Annual Step-Up Death Benefit is not available if you or the annuitant is 76 or older on the policy date. There is an extra charge for this death benefit. See FEE TABLE AND EXPENSE EXAMPLES.
Designated Investment Options. If you elected the Annual Step-Up Death Benefit, you must allocate 100% of your policy value to one or more of the designated investment options approved for the Annual Step-Up Death Benefit. See “Appendix - Designated Investment Options” for a complete listing of available subaccounts. Requiring that you designate 100% of your policy value to the designated investment options, some of which employ strategies that are intended to reduce the risk of loss and/or manage volatility, may reduce investment returns and may reduce the likelihood that we will be required to use our own assets to pay amounts due under this benefit.
Please note:
All policy value must be allocated to one or more designated investment options or your death benefit will terminate.
You may transfer amounts among the designated investment options; however, you cannot transfer any amount to any other subaccount if you elect this death benefit.
Return of Premium Death Benefit
The Return of Premium Death Benefit is equal to:
total premium payments; minus
any adjusted partial surrenders (please see “Appendix - Death Benefit”) as of the date of death; minus
withdrawals from the date of death to the date the death benefit is paid.
This benefit is not available if you or the annuitant is 86 or older on the policy date. There is an extra charge for this death benefit. See FEE TABLE AND EXPENSE EXAMPLES.
Designated Investment Options. If you elected the Return of Premium Death Benefit, you must allocate 100% of your policy value to one or more of the designated investment options approved for the Return of Premium Death Benefit. See “Appendix - Designated Investment Options” for a complete listing of available subaccounts. Requiring that you designate 100% of your policy value to the designated investment options, some of which employ strategies that are intended to reduce the risk of loss and/or manage volatility, may reduce investment returns and may reduce the likelihood that we will be required to use our own assets to pay amounts due under this benefit.
Please note:
All policy value must be allocated to one or more designated investment options or your death benefit will terminate.
You may transfer amounts among the designated investment options; however, you cannot transfer any amount to any other subaccount if you elect this death benefit.
Please note: You will not receive an optional guaranteed minimum death benefit if you do not choose one when you purchase your policy.
The Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit may vary for certain policies and may not be available for all policies, in all states, at all times or through all financial intermediaries. We may discontinue offering a guaranteed minimum death benefit at any time.
25

Adjusted Partial Surrender
When you request a partial surrender, your guaranteed minimum death benefit will be reduced by an amount called the adjusted partial surrender. Under certain circumstances, the adjusted partial surrender may be more than the dollar amount of your surrender request. This will generally be the case if the guaranteed minimum death benefit exceeds the policy value at the time of surrender. It is also possible that if a death benefit is paid after you have made a partial surrender, then the total amount paid could be less than the total premium payments.
The formula used to calculate the adjusted partial surrender amount is: adjusted partial surrender = (amount of the gross partial surrender * value of the current death proceeds immediately prior to the gross partial surrender ) / policy value immediately prior to the gross surrender.
We have included a detailed explanation of this adjustment with examples in the “Appendix - Death Benefit.” This is referred to as “adjusted partial surrender” in your policy. If you have a qualified policy, minimum required distributions rules may require you to request a partial surrender.
TAX INFORMATION
NOTE: We have prepared the following information on federal taxes as a general discussion of the subject. It is not intended as tax advice to any taxpayer. The federal tax consequences discussed herein reflects our understanding of current law, and the law may change. No representation is made regarding the likelihood of continuation of the present federal tax law or of the current interpretations by the Internal Revenue Service. The discussion briefly references federal estate, gift and generation-skipping transfer taxes, but principally discusses federal income taxes. No attempt is made 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 the policy. You should consult your own tax adviser about your own circumstances.
Introduction
Deferred annuity policies are a way of setting aside money for future needs like retirement. Congress recognized how important saving for retirement is and provided special rules in the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) for annuities. Simply stated, these rules generally provide that individuals will not be taxed on the earnings, if any, on the money held in an annuity policy until withdrawn. This is referred to as tax deferral. When a non-natural person (e.g., corporation or certain trusts) owns a nonqualified policy, the policy will generally not be treated as an annuity for tax purposes. Thus, the owner must generally include in income any increase in the policy value over the investment in the policy during each taxable year.
There are different rules as to how you will be taxed depending on how you take the money out and the type of policy-qualified or nonqualified.
If you purchase the policy as an individual retirement annuity or as a part of a 403(b) plan, 457 plan, a pension plan, a profit sharing plan (including a 401(k) plan), or certain other employer sponsored retirement programs, your policy is referred to as a qualified policy. There is no additional tax deferral benefit derived from placing qualified funds into a variable annuity. Features other than tax deferral should be considered in the purchase of a qualified policy. There are limits on the amount of contributions you can make to a qualified policy. Other restrictions may apply including terms of the plan in which you participate. To the extent there is a conflict between a plan's provisions and a policy's provisions, the plan's provisions will control.
If you purchase the policy other than as part of any arrangement described in the preceding paragraph, the policy is referred to as a nonqualified policy.
You will generally not be taxed on increases in the value of your policy, whether qualified or nonqualified, until a distribution occurs (e.g., as a surrender, withdrawal, or as annuity payments). However, you may be subject to current taxation if you assign or pledge or enter into an agreement to assign or pledge any portion of the policy. You may also be subject to current taxation if you make a gift of a nonqualified policy without valuable consideration. All amounts received from the policy that are includible in income are taxed at ordinary income rates; no amounts received from the policy are taxable at the lower rates applicable to capital gains.
The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) has not reviewed the policy for qualification as an IRA annuity, and has not addressed in a ruling of general applicability whether the death benefit options and riders available, with the policy, if any, comport with IRA qualification requirements.
The value of living and death benefit options and riders elected may need to be taken into account in calculating minimum required distributions from a qualified plan/or policy.
26

We may occasionally enter into settlements with owners and beneficiaries to resolve issues relating to the policy. Such settlements will be reported on the applicable tax form (e.g., Form 1099) provided to the taxpayer and the taxing authorities.
Taxation of Us
We are at present taxed as a life insurance company under part I of Subchapter L of the Code. The separate account is treated as a part of us and, accordingly, will not be taxed separately as a “regulated investment company” under Subchapter M of the Code. We do not expect to incur any federal income tax liability with respect to investment income and net capital gains arising from the activities of the separate account retained as part of the reserves under the policy. Based on this expectation, it is anticipated that no charges will be made against the separate account for federal income taxes. If in future years, any federal income taxes are incurred by us with respect to the separate account, we may make a charge to that account. We may benefit from any dividends received or foreign tax credits attributable to taxes paid by certain underlying fund portfolios to foreign jurisdictions to the extent permitted under federal tax law.
Tax Status of a Nonqualified Policy
Diversification Requirements. In order for a nonqualified variable policy which is based on a segregated asset account to qualify as an annuity policy under Section 817(h) of the Code, the investments made by such account must be “adequately diversified” in accordance with Treasury Regulations. The Regulations apply a diversification requirement to each of the subaccounts. Each separate account, through its underlying fund portfolios and their portfolios, intends to comply with the diversification requirements of the Regulations. We have entered into agreements with each underlying fund portfolio company that require the portfolios to be operated in compliance with the Regulations but we do not have control over the underlying fund portfolio companies. The owners bear the risk that the entire contract could be disqualified as an annuity policy under the Code due to the failure of a subaccount to be deemed to be “adequately diversified.”
Owner Control. In some circumstances, owners of variable policies who retain excessive control over the investment of the underlying separate account assets may be treated as the owners of those assets and may be subject to tax on income produced by those assets. In Revenue Ruling 2003-91, the IRS stated that whether the owner of a variable policy is to be treated as the owner of the assets held by the insurance company under the policy will depend on all of the facts and circumstances.
Revenue Ruling 2003-91 also gave an example of circumstances under which the owner of a variable policy would not possess sufficient control over the assets underlying the policy to be treated as the owner of those assets for federal income tax purposes. To the extent the circumstances relating to the issuance and ownership of a policy vary from those described in Revenue Ruling 2003-91, owners bear the risk that they will be treated as the owner of Separate Account assets and taxed accordingly.
We believe that the owner of a policy should not be treated as the owner of the underlying assets. We reserve the right to modify the policies to bring them into conformity with applicable standards should such modification be necessary to prevent owners of the policies from being treated as the owners of the underlying separate account assets. Concerned owners should consult their own tax advisers regarding the tax matter discussed above.
Distribution Requirements. The Code requires that nonqualified policies contain specific provisions for distribution of policy proceeds upon the death of any owner. In order to be treated as an annuity policy for federal income tax purposes, the Code requires that such policies provide that if any owner dies on or after the annuity starting date and before the entire interest in the policy has been distributed, the remaining portion must be distributed at least as rapidly as under the method in effect on such owner's death. If any owner dies before the annuity starting date, the entire interest in the policy must generally be distributed (1) within 5 years after such owner's date of death or (2) be used to provide payments to a designated beneficiary for the life of the beneficiary or for a period not extending beyond the life expectancy of the beneficiary. The designated beneficiary must be an individual and payments must begin within one year of such owner’s death. However, if upon such owner's death the owner's surviving spouse is the sole beneficiary of the policy, then the policy may be continued with the surviving spouse as the new owner. If any owner is a non-natural person (except in the case of certain grantor trusts), then for purposes of these distribution requirements, the primary annuitant shall be treated as an owner and any death or change of such primary annuitant shall be treated as the death of an owner.
In certain instances a designated beneficiary may be permitted to elect a “stretch” withdrawal option as a means of disbursing death proceeds from a nonqualified annuity. The only method we use for making distribution payments from a nonqualified “stretch” withdrawal option is the required minimum distribution method as set forth in Revenue Ruling 2002-62. The applicable payments are calculated using the Single Life Expectancy Table set forth in Treasury Regulation § 1.401(a)(9)-9, A-1.
The nonqualified policies contain provisions intended to comply with these requirements of the Code. No regulations interpreting these requirements of the Code have yet been issued and thus no assurance can be given that the provisions contained in the policies satisfy all such Code requirements. The provisions contained in the policies will be reviewed and modified if necessary to assure that they comply with the Code requirements when clarified by regulation or otherwise.

Taxation of Nonqualified Annuities
The following discussion assumes the policy qualifies as an annuity policy for federal income tax purposes.
In General. Code Section 72 governs taxation of annuities in general. We believe that an owner who is an individual will not be taxed on increases in the value of a policy until such amounts are surrendered or distributed. For this purpose, the assignment, pledge, or agreement to assign or pledge any portion of the policy value as collateral for a loan generally will be treated as a distribution of such portion. You may also be subject to current taxation if you make a gift of a nonqualified policy without valuable consideration. The taxable portion of a distribution is taxable as ordinary income.
Non-Natural Persons. Pursuant to Section 72(u) of the Code, a nonqualified policy held by a taxpayer other than a natural person generally will not be treated as an annuity policy under the Code; accordingly, an owner who is not a natural person will recognize as ordinary income for a taxable year the excess, if any, of the policy value over the “investment in the contract”. There are some exceptions to this rule and a prospective purchaser of the policy that is not a natural person should discuss these rules with a competent tax adviser. A policy owned by a trust using the grantor's social security number as its taxpayer identification number will be treated as owned by the grantor (natural person) for the purposes of our application of Section 72 of the Code. Consult a tax adviser for more information on how this may impact your policy.
Different Individual Owner and Annuitant
If the owner and annuitant on the policy are different individuals, there may be negative tax consequences to the owner and/or beneficiaries under the policy if the annuitant predeceases the owner including, but not limited, to the assessment of penalty tax and the loss of certain death benefit distribution options. You may wish to consult your legal counsel or tax adviser if you are considering designating a different individual as the annuitant on your policy to determine the potential tax ramifications of such a designation.
Annuity Starting Date
This section makes reference to the annuity starting date as defined in Section 72 of the Code and the applicable regulations. Generally, the definition of annuity starting date will correspond with the definition of annuity commencement date used in your policy and the dates will be the same. However, in certain circumstances, your annuity starting date and annuity commencement date will not be the same date. If there is a conflict between the definitions, we will interpret and apply the definitions in order to ensure your policy maintains its status as an annuity policy for federal income tax purposes. You may wish to consult a tax adviser for more information on when this issue may arise.
It is possible that at certain advanced ages a policy might no longer be treated as an annuity contract if the policy has not been annuitized before that age or have other tax consequences. You should consult with a tax adviser about the tax consequences in such circumstances.
Taxation of Annuity Payments
Although the tax consequences may vary depending on the annuity payment option you select, in general, for nonqualified and certain qualified policies, only a portion of the annuity payments you receive will be includable in your gross income.
In general, the excludable portion of each annuity payment you receive will be determined as follows:
Fixed payments-by dividing the “investment in the policy” on the annuity starting date by the total expected return under the policy (determined under Treasury regulations) for the term of the payments. This is the percentage of each annuity payment that is excludable.
Variable payments-by dividing the “investment in the policy” on the annuity starting date by the total number of expected periodic payments. This is the amount of each annuity payment that is excludable.
The remainder of each annuity payment is includable in gross income. Once the “investment in the policy” has been fully recovered, the full amount of any additional annuity payments is includable in gross income and taxed as ordinary income. The “investment in the policy” is generally equal to the premiums you pay for the policy, reduced by any amounts you have previously received from the policy that are excludible from gross income.
If you select more than one annuity payment option, special rules govern the allocation of the policy's entire “investment in the policy” to each such option, for purposes of determining the excludable amount of each payment received under that option. We advise you to consult a competent tax adviser as to the potential tax effects of allocating amounts to any particular annuity payment option.
28

If, after the annuity starting date, annuity payments stop because an annuitant died, the excess (if any) of the “investment in the policy” as of the annuity starting date over the aggregate amount of annuity payments received that was excluded from gross income may possibly be allowable as a deduction on your tax return.
Taxation of Surrenders and Partial Withdrawals - Nonqualified Policies
When you surrender your policy, you are generally taxed on the amount that your surrender proceeds exceeds the “investment in the policy”. The “investment in the policy” is generally equal to the premiums you pay for the policy, reduced by any amounts you have previously received from the policy that are excludible from gross income. Partial withdrawals are generally treated first as taxable income to the extent of the excess in the policy value over the “investment in the policy.” Distributions made under the systematic payout option are treated for tax purposes as partial withdrawal, not annuity payments. In general, loans, pledges, and collateral assignments as security for a loan are taxed in the same manner as partial withdrawals and surrenders. You may also be subject to current taxation if you make a gift of a nonqualified policy without valuable consideration. All taxable amounts received under a policy are subject to tax at ordinary rather than capital gain tax rates.
If your policy contains an excess interest adjustment feature (also known as a market value adjustment), then your policy value immediately before a policy withdrawal (or transaction taxed like a withdrawal) may have to be increased by any positive excess interest adjustments that result from the transaction. There is, however, no definitive guidance on the proper tax treatment of excess interest adjustments, and you may want to discuss the potential tax consequences of an excess interest adjustment with your tax adviser.
The Code also provides that amounts received from the policy that are includible in gross income (including the taxable portion of some annuity payments) may be subject to a penalty tax. The amount of the penalty tax is equal to 10% of the amount that is includable in income. Some surrender withdrawals and other amounts will be exempt from the penalty tax. Amounts received that are not subject to the penalty tax include, among others, any amounts: (1) paid on or after the taxpayer reaches age 59½; (2) paid after an owner (or where the owner is a non-natural person, an annuitant) dies; (3) paid if the taxpayer becomes disabled (as that term is defined in the Code); (4) paid in a series of substantially equal payments made annually (or more frequently) over the life of the taxpayer or the joint life of the taxpayer and the taxpayer's designated beneficiary; (5) paid under an immediate annuity; or (6) which come from premium payments made prior to August 14, 1982. Regarding the disability exception, because we cannot verify that the owner is disabled, we will report such withdrawals to the IRS as early withdrawals with no known exception from the penalty tax.
Other exceptions may be applicable under certain circumstances and special rules may be applicable in connection with the exceptions enumerated above. You may wish to consult a tax adviser for more information regarding the imposition of penalty tax.
Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefits
For policies with a guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit or a guaranteed maximum accumulation benefit the application of certain tax rules, particularly those rules relating to distributions from your policy, are not entirely clear. It is possible that the withdrawal base (with respect to the guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefits) and the guaranteed future value (with respect to the guaranteed maximum accumulation benefit) could be taken into account to determine the policy value that is used to calculate the amount of the distribution that would be included in income. The proper treatment of the Income Enhancement Option under a guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit is unclear. It is possible that the IRS could determine that the benefit provides some form of long term care insurance. In that event, (1) you could be treated as in receipt of some amount of income attributable to the value of the benefit even though you have not received a payment from your policy, and (2) the amount of income attributable to guaranteed lifetime withdrawal payments could be affected. In view of this uncertainty, you should consult a tax adviser with any questions.
Aggregation
All nonqualified deferred annuity policies that are issued by us (or our affiliates) to the same owner (policyholder) during any calendar year are treated as one annuity for purposes of determining the amount includable in the owner's income when a taxable distribution (other than annuity payments) occurs. If you are considering purchasing multiple policies from us (or our affiliates) during the same calendar year, you may wish to consult with your tax adviser regarding how aggregation will apply to your policies.
Tax-Free Exchanges of Nonqualified Policies
We may issue the nonqualified policy in exchange for all or part of another annuity contract that you own. Such an exchange will be tax free if certain requirements are satisfied. If the exchange is tax free, your investment in the policy immediately after the exchange will generally be the same as that of the annuity contract exchanged, increased by any additional premium payment made as part of
29

the exchange. Your policy value immediately after the exchange may exceed your investment in the policy. That excess may be includable in income should amounts subsequently be withdrawn or distributed from the policy (e.g., as a partial withdrawal, surrender, annuity income payment or death benefit).
If you exchange part of an existing contract for the policy, and within 180 days of the exchange you received a payment other than certain annuity payments (e.g., you make a partial withdrawal) from either contract, the exchange may not be treated as a tax free exchange. Rather, some or all of the amount exchanged into the policy could be includible in your income and subject to a 10% penalty tax.
You should consult your tax adviser in connection with an exchange of all or part of an annuity contract for the policy, especially if you may make a withdrawal from either contract within 180 days after the exchange.
Medicare Tax
Distributions from nonqualified annuity policies are considered “investment income” for purposes of the 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, trusts, and estates whose income exceeds certain threshold amounts. We are required to report distributions made from nonqualified annuity policies as being potentially subject to this tax. While distributions from qualified policies are not subject to the tax, such distributions may be includable in income for purposes of determining whether certain Medicare Tax thresholds have been met. As such, distributions from your qualified policy could cause your other investment income to be subject to the tax. Please consult a tax adviser for more information.
Same Sex Relationships
Section 3 of the Federal Defense of Marriage Act was ruled unconstitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court. The Internal Revenue Service adopted a rule in response thereto recognizing the marriage of same sex individuals validly entered into in a jurisdiction that authorizes same sex marriages, even if the individuals are domiciled in a jurisdiction that does not recognize the marriage. The Internal Revenue Service also ruled that the term “spouse” does not include an individual who has entered into a registered domestic partnership, civil union, or other similar relationship that is not denominated as a marriage under the laws of that jurisdiction. We intend to administer the policy consistent with these rulings until further guidance is provided. Therefore, exercise of the spousal continuation provisions of this policy or any riders by persons who do not meet the definition of “spouse” under federal law e.g., domestic and civil union partners may have adverse tax consequences and/or may not be permissible.
Please note the jurisdiction where you are domiciled may not recognize same sex marriage which may limit your ability to take advantage of certain benefits provided to spouses under the policy. There are several unanswered questions regarding the scope and impact of the Supreme Court’s decision and the subsequent guidance provided by the Internal Revenue Service. Please consult a tax adviser for more information on this subject.
Taxation of Death Benefit Proceeds
Amounts may be distributed from the policy because of your death or the death of the annuitant. Generally, such amounts should be includable in the income of the recipient: (1) if distributed in a lump sum, these amounts are taxed in the same manner as a surrender; (2) if distributed via partial withdrawals, these amounts are taxed in the same manner as partial surrenders; or (3) if distributed under an annuity payment option, these amounts are taxed in the same manner as annuity payments.
Transfers, Assignments or Exchanges of Policies
A transfer of ownership or assignment of a policy, the designation of an annuitant or payee or other beneficiary who is not also the owner, the exchange of a policy and certain other transactions, or a change of annuitant other than the owner, may result in certain income or gift tax consequences to the owner that are beyond the scope of this discussion. An owner contemplating any such transaction or designation should contact a competent tax adviser with respect to the potential tax effects.
Charges
It is possible that the IRS may take a position that fees for certain optional benefits (e.g., death benefits other than the Return of Premium death benefit) are deemed to be taxable distributions to you. In particular, the IRS may treat fees associated with certain optional benefits as a taxable partial withdrawal, which might also be subject to a tax penalty if the partial withdrawal occurs prior to age 59½. Although we do not believe that the fees associated with any optional benefit provided under the policy should be treated as taxable partial withdrawal, the tax rules associated with these benefits are unclear, and we advise that you consult your tax adviser prior to selecting any optional benefit under the policy.

Federal Estate, Gift and Generation-Skipping Transfer Taxes
Beginning in 2013, the federal estate tax, gift tax and generation-skipping transfer (“GST”) tax exemptions and maximum rates are $5,000,000 indexed for inflation and 40% respectively.
The uncertainty as to how the current law might be modified in the future underscores the importance of seeking guidance from a competent adviser to help ensure that your estate plan adequately addresses your needs and that of your beneficiaries under all possible scenarios.
Federal Estate Taxes. While no attempt is being made to discuss the Federal estate tax implications of the policy in detail, a purchaser should keep in mind that the value of an annuity policy 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 policy, 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. Consult an estate planning adviser 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 policy 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 policy, or from any applicable payment, and pay it directly to the IRS.
Qualified Policies
The qualified policy is designed for use with several types of tax-qualified retirement plans which are briefly described below. The tax rules applicable to participants and beneficiaries in tax-qualified retirement plans vary according to the type of plan and the terms and conditions of the plan. Special favorable tax treatment may be available for certain types of contributions and distributions. Adverse tax consequences may result from contributions in excess of specified limits, distributions prior to age 59½ (subject to certain exceptions), distributions that do not conform to specified commencement and minimum distribution rules, and in other specified circumstances. The distribution rules under Section 72(s) of the Code do not apply to annuities provided under a plan described in Sections 401(a), 403(a), 403(b), 408 or 408A of the Code, but other similar rules may. Some retirement plans are subject to distribution and other requirements that are not incorporated into the policies or our policy administration procedures. Owners, employers, participants, and beneficiaries are responsible for determining that contributions, distributions, and other transactions with respect to the policies comply with applicable law.
Traditional Individual Retirement Annuities. In order to qualify as a traditional individual retirement annuity under Section 408(b) of the Code, a policy must satisfy certain conditions: (i) the owner must be the annuitant; (ii) the policy generally is not transferable by the owner, e.g., the owner may not designate a new owner, designate a contingent owner or assign the policy as collateral security; (iii) subject to special rules, the total premium payments for any calendar year may not exceed the amount specified in the Code for the year, except in the case of a rollover amount or contribution under Section 402(c), 402(e)(6), 403(a)(4), 403(b)(8), 403(b)(10), 408(d)(3) or 457(e)(16) of the Code; (iv) annuity payments or partial surrenders according to the requirements in the IRS regulations (minimum required distributions) must begin no later than April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the annuitant attains age 70½; (v) an annuity payment option with a period certain that will guarantee annuity payments beyond the life expectancy of the annuitant and the beneficiary may not be selected; (vi) certain payments of death benefits must be made in the event the annuitant dies prior to the distribution of the policy value; (vii) the entire interest of the owner is non-forfeitable; and (viii) the premiums must not be fixed. Policies intended to qualify as traditional individual retirement annuities under Section 408(b) of the Code contain such provisions. Amounts in the individual retirement annuity (other than nondeductible contributions) generally are taxed only when distributed from the annuity. Distributions prior to age 59½ (unless certain exceptions apply) are subject to a 10% penalty tax.
SIMPLE and SEP IRAs are types of IRAs that allow employers to contribute to IRAs on behalf of their employees. SIMPLE IRAs permit certain small employers to establish SIMPLE plans as provided by section 408(p) of the Code, under which employees may elect to defer to a SIMPLE IRA a specified percentage of compensation. The sponsoring employer is required to make matching or non-elective contributions on behalf of employees. Distributions from SIMPLE IRAs are subject to the same restrictions that apply to IRA distributions. Subject to certain exceptions, distributions prior to age 59½ are subject to a 10 percent penalty tax, which is increased to 25 percent if the distribution occurs within the first two years after the commencement of the employee's participation in the plan. SEP IRAs permit employers to make contributions to IRAs on behalf of their employees, up to a specified dollar amount for the year and subject to certain eligibility requirements as provided by Section 408(k) of the Code. Distributions from SEP IRAs are subject to the same rules that apply to IRA distributions and are taxed as ordinary income.
The IRS has not reviewed this policy for qualification as a traditional IRA, SIMPLE IRA or SEP IRA, and has not addressed in a ruling of general applicability whether any death benefits available under the policy comport with qualification requirements.
31

Roth Individual Retirement Annuities (Roth IRA). The Roth IRA, under Section 408A of the Code, contains many of the same provisions as a traditional IRA. However, there are some differences. First, the contributions are not deductible and must be made in cash or as a rollover or transfer from another Roth IRA, a traditional IRA or other allowed qualified plan. A rollover from or conversion of an IRA to a Roth IRA may be subject to tax. The ability to make cash contributions to Roth IRAs is available to individuals with earned income and whose modified adjusted gross income is under a specified dollar amount for the year. Subject to special rules, the amount per individual that may be contributed to all IRAs (Roth and traditional) is an amount specified in the Code for the year. Secondly, the distributions are taxed differently. The Roth IRA offers tax-free distributions when made 5 tax years after the first contribution to any Roth IRA of the individual and made after one of the following: attaining age 59½, to pay for qualified first time home buyer expenses (lifetime maximum of $10,000), or due to death or disability. All other distributions are subject to income tax when made from earnings and may be subject to a penalty tax unless an exception applies. Please note that specific tax ordering rules apply to Roth IRA distributions. Unlike the traditional IRA, there are no minimum required distributions during the owner's lifetime; however, minimum required distributions at death are generally the same as for traditional IRAs.
The IRS has not reviewed this policy for qualification as a ROTH IRA, and has not addressed in a ruling of general applicability whether any death benefits available under the policy comport with qualification requirements.
Section 403(b) Plans. Under Section 403(b) of the Code, payments made by public school systems and certain tax exempt organizations to purchase policies for their employees are generally excludable from the gross income of the employee, subject to certain limitations. However, such payments may be subject to Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA or Social Security) taxes. The policy includes a death benefit that in some cases may exceed the greater of the premium payments or the policy value. Additionally, in accordance with the requirements of the Code, Section 403(b) annuities generally may not permit distribution of (i) elective contributions made in years beginning after December 31, 1988, and (ii) earnings on those contributions, and (iii) earnings on amounts attributed to elective contributions held as of the end of the last year beginning before January 1, 1989, unless certain events have occurred. Specifically distributions of such amounts will be allowed only upon the death of the employee, on or after attainment of age 59½, severance from employment, disability, or financial hardship, except that income attributable to elective contributions may not be distributed in the case of hardship. These rules may prevent the payment of guaranteed withdrawals under a guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit prior to age 59½. For policies issued after 2008, amounts attributable to non-elective contributions may be subject to distribution restrictions specified in the employer's section 403(b) plan. Employers using the policy in connection with Section 403(b) plans may wish to consult with their tax adviser.
Pursuant to tax regulations, we generally are required to confirm, with your 403(b) plan sponsor or otherwise, that surrenders, loans or transfers you request from a 403(b) policy comply with applicable tax requirements before we process your request. We will defer such payments you request until all information required under the tax law has been received. By requesting a surrender or transfer, you consent to the sharing of confidential information about you, the policy, and transactions under the policy and any other 403(b) policies or accounts you have under the 403(b) plan among us, your employer or plan sponsor, any plan administrator or record keeper, and other product providers.
Pension and Profit-Sharing Plans. Sections 401(a) and 403(a) of the Code permit employers to establish various types of retirement plans for employees and self-employed individuals to establish qualified plans for themselves and their employees. Such retirement plans may permit the purchase of the policies to accumulate retirement savings. Adverse tax consequences to the plan, the participant or both may result if the policy is assigned or transferred to any individual as a means to provide benefit payments. Contributions to and distributions from such plans are limited by the Code and may be subject to penalties.
Deferred Compensation Plans. Section 457(b) of the Code, while not actually providing for a qualified plan as that term is normally used, provides for certain deferred compensation plans established and maintained by state and local governments (and their agencies and instrumentalities) and tax exempt organizations. Under such plans a participant may be able to specify the form of investment in which his or her participation will be made. For non-governmental Section 457(b) plans, all such investments, however, are typically owned by, and are subject to, the claims of the general creditors of the sponsoring employer. Depending on the terms of the particular plan, a non-government employer may be entitled to draw on deferred amounts for purposes unrelated to its Section 457(b) plan obligations. In general, all amounts received under a non-governmental Section 457 plan are taxable in the year paid (or in the year paid or made available in the case of a non-governmental 457(b) plan). Distributions from non-governmental 457(b) plans are subject to federal income tax withholding as wages, distributions from governmental 457(b) plans are subject to withholding as “eligible rollover distributions” as described in the section entitled “Withholding.” below. Contributions to and distributions from such plans are limited by the Code and may be subject to penalties. Deferred compensation plans of governments and tax-exempt entities that do not meet the requirements of Section 457(b) are taxed under Section 457(f), which means compensation deferred under the plan is included in gross income in the first year in which the compensation is not subject to substantial risk of forfeiture.
32

Ineligible Owners-Qualified
We currently will not issue new policies to/or for the following plans: 403(a), 403(b), 412(i)/412(e)(3), 419, 457 (we will in certain limited circumstances accept 457(f) plans), employee stock ownership plans, Keogh/H.R.-10 plans and any other types of plans at our sole discretion.
Taxation of Surrenders and Partial Withdrawals - Qualified Policies
In the case of a withdrawal under a qualified policy (other than from a deferred compensation plan under Section 457 of the Code), a pro rata portion of the amount you receive is taxable, generally based on the ratio of your “investment in the policy” to your total account balance or accrued benefit under the retirement plan. Your “investment in the policy” generally equals the amount of any non-deductible premium payments made by you or on your behalf. If you do not have any non-deductible premium payments, your investment in the contract will be treated as zero.
In addition, a penalty tax may be assessed on amounts surrendered from the policy prior to the date you reach age 59½, unless you meet one of the exceptions to this rule which are similar to the penalty exceptions for distributions from nonqualified policies discussed above. However, the exceptions applicable for qualified policies differ from those provided to nonqualified policies. You may wish to consult a tax adviser for more information regarding the application of these exceptions to your circumstances. You may also be required to begin taking minimum distributions from the policy by a certain date. The terms of the plan may limit the rights otherwise available to you under the policy.
Qualified Plan Required Distributions
For qualified plans under Section 401(a), 403(a), 403(b), and 457, the Code requires that distributions generally must commence no later than the later of April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the owner (or plan participant) (i) reaches age 70½ or (ii) retires, and must be made in a specified form or manner. If a participant is a “5 percent owner” (as defined in the Code), or in the case of an IRA (other than a Roth IRA which is not subject to the lifetime required minimum distribution rules), distributions generally must begin no later than April 1 of the year following the calendar year in which the owner (or plan participant) reaches age 70½. The actuarial present value of death and/or living benefit options and riders elected may need to be taken into account in calculating minimum required distributions. Consult a competent tax adviser before purchasing an optional living or death benefit.
Each owner is responsible for requesting distributions under the policy that satisfy applicable tax rules. We do not attempt to provide more than general information about the use of the policy with the various types of retirement plans. Purchasers of policies for use with any retirement plan should consult their legal counsel and tax adviser regarding the suitability of the policy.
The Code generally requires that interest in a qualified policy be non-forfeitable. If your policy contains a bonus rider with a recapture, forfeiture, or “vesting” feature, it may not be consistent with those requirements. Consult a tax adviser before purchasing a bonus rider as part of a qualified policy.
You should consult your legal counsel or tax adviser if you are considering purchasing an enhanced death benefit or other optional rider, or if you are considering purchasing a policy for use with any qualified retirement plan or arrangement.
Optional Living Benefits
For policies with a guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit or a guaranteed maximum accumulation benefit the application of certain tax rules, particularly those rules relating to distributions from your policy, are not entirely clear. The tax rules for qualified policies may impact the value of these optional benefits. Additionally, the actions of the qualified plan as contract holder may cause the qualified plan participant to lose the benefit of the guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit. In view of this uncertainty, you should consult a tax adviser before purchasing this policy as a qualified policy.
Withholding
The portion of any distribution under a policy that is includable in gross income will be subject to federal income tax withholding unless the recipient of such distribution elects not to have federal income tax withheld. Election forms will be provided at the time distributions are requested or made. The amount of withholding varies according to the type of distribution. The withholding rates applicable to the taxable portion of periodic payments (other than eligible rollover distributions) are the same as the withholding rates generally applicable to payments of wages. A 10% withholding rate applies to the taxable portion of non-periodic payments. Regardless of whether you elect not to have federal income tax withheld, you are still liable for payment of federal income tax on the taxable portion of the payment. For qualified policies taxable, “eligible rollover distributions” from Section 401(a) plans, Section 403(a) annuities, Section 403(b) tax-sheltered annuities, and governmental 457 plans are subject to a mandatory federal income tax
33

withholding of 20%. An eligible rollover distribution is any distribution from such a plan, other than specified distributions such as distributions required by the Code, distributions in a specified annuity form or hardship distributions. The 20% withholding does not apply, however, to nontaxable distributions or if (i) the employee (or employee's spouse or former spouse as beneficiary or alternate payee) chooses a “direct rollover” from the plan to a tax-qualified plan, IRA, Roth IRA or 403(b) tax-sheltered annuity or to a governmental 457 plan that agrees to separately account for rollover contributions; or (ii) a non-spouse beneficiary chooses a “direct rollover” from the plan to an IRA established by the direct rollover.

The IRS has announced that income received by residents of Puerto Rico under life insurance or annuity policies 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 Policies Purchased by Non-resident Aliens and Foreign Corporations
The discussion above provided general information (but not tax advice) regarding U.S. federal income tax consequences to annuity owners that are U.S. persons. Taxable distributions made to owners who are not U.S. persons will generally be subject to U.S. federal income tax withholding at a 30% rate, unless a lower treaty rate applies. In addition, distributions may be subject to state and/or municipal taxes and taxes that may be imposed by the owner's country of citizenship or residence. Prospective foreign owners are advised to consult with a qualified tax adviser regarding U.S., state, and foreign taxation for any annuity policy purchase.
Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”)
If the payee of a distribution from the policy is a foreign financial institution (“FFI”) or a non-financial foreign entity (“NFFE”) within the meaning of the Code as amended by the Foreign Account tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”), the distribution could be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax on the taxable amount of the distribution at a 30% rate irrespective of the status of any beneficial owner of the policy or the distribution. The rules relating to FATCA are complex, and a tax adviser should be consulted if an FFI or NFFE is or may be designated as a payee with respect to the policy.
Possible Tax Law Changes
Although the likelihood of legislative or regulatory changes is uncertain, there is always the possibility that the tax treatment of the policy could change by legislation, regulation, or otherwise. You should consult a tax adviser with respect to legal or regulatory developments and their effect on the policy.
We have the right to modify the policy to meet the requirements of any applicable laws or regulations, including legislative changes that could otherwise diminish the favorable tax treatment that annuity owners currently receive.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES
Systematic Payout Option
You can select at any time during the accumulation phase to receive regular withdrawals from your policy by using the systematic payout option. Any systematic withdrawal in excess of the cumulative interest credited from the guaranteed period options at the time of the withdrawal may be subject to an excess interest adjustment. Any systematic withdrawal in excess of your remaining surrender charge free amount may be subject to a surrender charge. Any systematic withdrawal in excess of the remaining rider withdrawal amount could affect your rider values (if elected). Systematic withdrawals can be made monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually. Each withdrawal must be at least $50. Monthly and quarterly systematic withdrawals must generally be made by electronic funds transfer directly to your checking or savings account. There is no charge for this benefit.
Keep in mind that withdrawals under the systematic payout option may be taxable, and if made before age 59½, may be subject to a 10% federal penalty tax.
Liquidity Rider
The optional Liquidity Rider (only available with the B-Share) reduces the number of years each premium payment is subject to surrender charges. You can only elect this rider at the time you purchase the policy.
Surrender Charge Schedule. The Liquidity Rider reduces the number of years each premium payment is subject to surrender charges from seven years to four years. The surrender charge will remain unchanged from that of the B-Share for the first four years.
34

Rider Fee. There is an additional charge for this rider which is a percentage of the daily net asset value in the separate account which is deducted in calculating the accumulation unit values. The rider fee is only charged for the first four policy years.
Accumulation Unit Values. We intend to administer the removal of the Liquidity Rider fee by changing to a different class of accumulation units. This will result in adjusting the number of accumulation units and adjusting the unit value of the subaccounts in which you were invested once the Liquidity Rider fee is no longer charged. The elimination of the fee and the adjustment in the number of accumulation units and unit values will not affect policy values.
Termination. The rider is irrevocable.
Please note:
This feature terminates upon annuitization and there is a mandatory annuity commencement date.
We may credit interest in the fixed account (if available) at a lower rate if you select this rider.
The Liquidity Rider may vary for certain policies and may not be available for all policies, in all states, at all times or through all financial intermediaries. We may discontinue offering this benefit at any time. In some cases, a benefit not available through a financial intermediary may be obtained by contacting us directly. For more information on the options available for electing a benefit, please contact your financial intermediary or our Administrative Office.
Additional Death Distribution
The optional Additional Death Distribution rider pays an additional amount (based on rider earnings, if any, since the rider was issued) when a death benefit is payable during the accumulation phase under your policy, in certain circumstances. The Additional Death Distribution is only available for issue ages through age 80. The Additional Death Distribution is only available with the Return of Premium Death Benefit or the Annual Step-Up Death Benefit. Please Note: This rider may not be issued or added to Inherited IRAs (sometimes also referred to as beneficiary IRAs) or a nonqualified annuity under which death benefits are being distributed under a stretch withdrawal option. The Additional Death Distribution benefit is based on our claims-paying ability.
Additional Death Distribution Benefit Amount. The Additional Death Distribution is payable only if you elected the rider prior to the death triggering the payment of the policy death benefit and a death benefit is payable under the policy. The Additional Death Distribution is equal to:
the Additional Death Distribution factor (see below); multiplied by
the rider earnings, if any, on the date the death benefit is calculated.
Rider earnings are policy gains accrued and not previously withdrawn since the rider date. This amount is equal to the current policy value minus the policy value on the rider date minus premiums paid after the rider date plus amounts withdrawn after the rider date that exceed rider earnings on the date of the withdrawal. No benefit is payable under the Additional Death Distribution rider if there are no rider earnings on the date the death benefit is calculated.
If you purchase your policy as part of a 1035 exchange or add the Additional Death Distribution rider after you purchase the policy, rider earnings do not include any gains before the 1035 exchange or the date the Additional Death Distribution is added to your policy.
The Additional Death Distribution factor is 40% for issue ages under 71 and 25% for issue ages 71-80, based on the annuitant’s age.
No benefit is paid under the rider unless (a) the rider is in force, (b) a death benefit is payable on the policy, and (c) there are rider earnings when the death benefit is calculated.
For purposes of computing taxable gains, both the death benefit payable under the policy and the Additional Death Distribution will be considered.
Please see “Appendix - Additional Death Distribution Rider” for an example which illustrates the Additional Death Distribution payable as well as the effect of a partial surrender on the Additional Death Distribution benefit amount.
Spousal Continuation. If a spouse is eligible to and elects to continue the policy as the new owner instead of receiving a death benefit and Additional Death Distribution, the spouse will generally receive a one-time policy value increase equal to the Additional Death Distribution. At this time the rider will terminate. The spouse will have the option of immediately re-electing the rider through age 80 if the Additional Death Distribution benefit is still being offered. Certain owners may have the option to continue the rider without receiving the one-time policy value increase. See TAX INFORMATION - Tax Status of a Nonqualified Policy - Distribution Requirements. (The payment of a death benefit under the policy is triggered by the death of the annuitant.)
35

Rider Fee. There is an additional charge for this rider which is a percentage of the policy value which is deducted annually on each rider anniversary prior to annuitization. We will also deduct this fee upon full surrender of the policy or other termination of the rider. The rider fee is deducted pro rata from each investment option. The fee is deducted even during periods when the Additional Death Distribution would not pay any benefit (because there are no rider earnings).
Termination. The rider will remain in effect until:
you cancel it by notifying our Administrative Office in writing,
the policy is annuitized or surrendered,
the policy value becomes zero, or
the Additional Death Distribution is paid or added to the policy value under a spousal continuation.
Once terminated, the Additional Death Distribution may be re-elected if still being offered; however, a new rider will be issued and the additional death benefit will be re-determined. Please note that if the rider is terminated and then re-elected, it will only cover gains, if any, since it was re-elected and the terms of the new rider may be different than the terminated rider.
Please note: This feature terminates upon annuitization and there is a maximum annuity commencement date.
The Additional Death Distribution may vary for certain policies and may not be available for all policies, in all states, at all times or through all financial intermediaries. We may discontinue offering this benefit at any time. In some cases, a benefit not available through a financial intermediary may be obtained by contacting us directly. For more information on the options available for electing a benefit, please contact your financial intermediary or our Administrative Office.
Additional Death Distribution+
The optional Additional Death Distribution+ rider pays an additional amount (based on the benefit base) when a death benefit is payable during the accumulation phase under your policy, in certain circumstances. The Additional Death Distribution+ is only available for issue ages through age 75. The Additional Death Distribution + is only available with the Return of Premium Death Benefit or the Annual Step-Up Death Benefit. Please Note: This rider may not be issued or added to Inherited IRAs (sometimes also referred to as beneficiary IRAs) or a nonqualified annuity under which death benefits are being distributed under a stretch withdrawal option. The Additional Death Distribution+ benefit is based on our claims-paying ability.
Additional Death Distribution+ Benefit Amount. An additional death benefit is only payable if a death benefit is paid on the base policy to which the rider is attached. The amount of the additional benefit is dependent on the amount of time that has passed since the rider date as follows:
If a death benefit is payable within the first five years after the rider date, the additional benefit amount will be equal to the sum of all Additional Death Distribution+ rider fees paid since the rider date.
If a death benefit is payable after five years following the rider date, the additional benefit will be equal to the rider benefit base multiplied by the rider benefit percentage.
The rider benefit base at any time is equal to the policy value less any premium payments added after the rider date.
The rider benefit percentage may vary but equals 30% for issue ages 0 - 70 and 20% for issue ages 71 - 75, based on the annuitant’s age.
No benefit is payable under the Additional Death Distribution+ if the policy value on the date the death benefit is paid is less than the premium payments after the rider date.
For purposes of computing taxable gains, both the death benefit payable under the policy and the additional benefit will be considered.
Please see “Appendix - Additional Death Distribution+” for an example that illustrates the additional death benefit payable as well as the effect of a partial surrender on the Additional Death Distribution+ benefit amount.
Spousal Continuation. If a spouse is eligible to and elects to continue the policy as the new owner instead of receiving the death benefit and Additional Death Distribution+, then the spouse will generally receive a one-time policy value increase equal to the Additional Death Distribution+. At this time the rider will terminate. The spouse will have the option of immediately re-electing the rider through age 75 if the Additional Death Distribution+ benefit is still being offered. Certain owners may have the option to continue the rider without receiving the one-time policy value increase. See TAX INFORMATION - Tax Status of a Nonqualified Policy - Distribution Requirements. (The payment of a death benefit under the policy is triggered by the death of the annuitant.)
36

Rider Fee. There is an additional charge for this rider which is a percentage of the policy value which, is deducted annually on each rider anniversary prior to annuitization. We will also deduct this fee upon full surrender of the policy or other termination of the rider.
Please note: The rider fee is deducted pro rata from each investment option. The fee is deducted even during periods when the rider would not pay any benefits.
Termination. The rider will remain in effect until:
you cancel it by notifying our Administrative Office in writing in good order,
the policy is annuitized or surrendered,
the policy value becomes zero, or
the additional death benefit is paid or added to the policy value under a spousal continuation.
If terminated no more than 90 days after policy issue, you may re-elect the Additional Death Distribution+ if it is still being offered, immediately. However, if it is terminated more than 90 days after the policy issue date, the Additional Death Distribution+ may not be re-elected, if it is still being offered, for one year. Please note that if the rider is terminated and then re-elected, the new rider will have its own fees, benefits and features as well as a new rider date which may affect the rider benefit.
Please note: This feature terminates upon annuitization and there is a maximum annuity commencement date.
The Additional Death Distribution+ may vary for certain policies and may not be available for all policies, in all states, at all times or through all financial intermediaries. We may discontinue offering this benefit at any time. In some cases, a benefit not available through a financial intermediary may be obtained by contacting us directly. For more information on the options available for electing a benefit, please contact your financial intermediary or our Administrative Office.
Nursing Care and Terminal Condition Waiver
No surrender charges or excess interest adjustments will apply if you make a surrender ($1,000 minimum), under certain circumstances, because you or your spouse has been:
confined in a hospital or nursing facility for 30 days in a row after the policy issue date; or
diagnosed with a terminal condition after the policy issue date (usually a life expectancy of 12 months or less).
You may exercise this benefit at any time during the accumulation phase. This benefit is also available to the annuitant or annuitant's spouse if the owner is not a natural person. There is no restriction on the maximum amount you may surrender under this benefit. There is no charge for this benefit.
The Nursing Care and Terminal Condition Waiver may vary for certain policies and may not be available for all policies, in all states or at all times.
Unemployment Waiver
No surrender charges or excess interest adjustments will apply to surrenders after you or your spouse become unemployed in certain circumstances (e.g., because you were terminated, laid off, or otherwise lost your job involuntarily). In order to qualify, you (or your spouse, whichever is applicable) must have been:
employed full time for at least two years prior to becoming unemployed;
employed full time on the policy date;
unemployed for at least 60 days in a row at the time of surrender;
must have a minimum cash value at the time of surrender of $5,000; and
you (or your spouse) must be receiving unemployment benefits.
You must provide written proof from your State's Department of Labor, which verifies that you qualify for and are receiving unemployment benefits at the time of surrender.
You may use this benefit at any time during the accumulation phase. This benefit is also available to the annuitant or annuitant's spouse if the owner is not a natural person. There is no restriction on the maximum amount you may surrender under this benefit. There is no charge for this benefit.
The Unemployment Waiver may vary for certain policies and may not be available for all policies, in all states or at all times.
37

Telephone and Electronic Transactions
Currently, certain transactions may be made by telephone or other electronic means acceptable to us upon our receipt of the appropriate authorization. We may discontinue this option at any time. To access information and perform transactions electronically, we require you to create an account with a username and password, and to maintain a valid e-mail address.
We will not be liable for following instructions communicated by telephone or electronically we reasonably believe to be genuine. We will employ reasonable procedures to confirm that instructions we receive are genuine. Our procedures require you to provide information to verify your identity when you call us and we will record conversations with you. We may also require written confirmation of the request. When someone contacts our Administrative Office and follows our procedures, we will assume you are authorizing us to act upon those instructions. For electronic transactions through the internet, you will need to provide your username and password. You are responsible for keeping your password confidential and must notify us of any loss, theft or unauthorized use of your password.
Telephone and other electronic transactions must be received while the New York Stock Exchange is open for regular trading to get same-day pricing of the transaction. Please note that the telephone and/or electronic devices may not always be available. Any telephone, fax machine or other electronic device, whether it is yours, your service provider's, or your financial representative's can experience outages or slowdowns for a variety of reasons. These outages or slowdowns may delay or prevent our processing of your request if the volume of transactions is unusually high, we might not have anyone available, or lines available, to take your transaction. Although we have taken precautions to limit these problems, we cannot promise complete reliability under all circumstances. If you are experiencing problems, you should make your request by writing to our Administrative Office.
We reserve the right to revoke your telephone and other electronic transaction privileges at any time without revoking all owners' privileges. We may deny telephone and electronic transaction privileges to market timers or disruptive traders.
Dollar Cost Averaging Program
During the accumulation phase, you may instruct us to automatically make transfers into one or more variable subaccounts in accordance with your allocation instructions. This is known as Dollar Cost Averaging. While Dollar Cost Averaging buys more accumulation units when prices are low and fewer accumulation units when prices are high, it does not guarantee profits or assure that you will not experience a loss.
Dollar Cost Averaging programs that may be available under your policy:
TraditionalYou may specify the dollar amount to be transferred or the number of transfers. Transfers will begin as soon as the program is started. A minimum of $500 per transfer is required. The minimum number of transfers is 6 monthly transfers or 4 quarterly transfers, and the maximum is 24 monthly transfers or 8 quarterly transfers. You can elect to transfer from the fixed account, money market or other specified subaccount.
Special You may only elect either a six or twelve month program. Transfers will begin as soon as the program is started. You cannot transfer from another investment option into a Special Dollar Cost Averaging program. This program is only available for new premium payments, requires transfers from a fixed source, and may credit a higher or lower interest rate than a traditional program. A minimum of $500 per transfer is required ($3,000 or $6,000 to start a 6-month or 12-month program, respectively).
A Dollar Cost Averaging program will begin once we have received in good order all necessary information and the minimum required amount. See OTHER INFORMATION - Sending Forms and Transaction Requests in Good Order. Please note: Dollar Cost Averaging programs will not begin on the 29th, 30th, or 31st. If a program would have started on one of those dates, it will start on the 1st market day of the following month. If we receive additional premium payments while a Dollar Cost Averaging program is running, absent new instructions to the contrary, the amount of the Dollar Cost Averaging transfers will increase, but the length of the Dollar Cost Averaging program will not.
NOTE CAREFULLY:
New Dollar Cost averaging instructions are required to start a new Dollar Cost Averaging program once the previous Dollar Cost Averaging program has completed. Additional premium payments, absent new allocation instructions, received after a Dollar Cost Averaging program has completed, will be allocated according to the current premium payment allocations at that time but will not reactivate a completed Dollar Cost Averaging program.
38

IF:
we do not receive all necessary information to begin or restart a Dollar Cost Averaging program
THEN:
any amount allocated to a fixed source will be invested in that fixed source but will be transferred to the money market investment option within 30 days of allocation to fixed source if new Dollar Cost Averaging instructions are not received;
any amount allocated to a variable source will be invested in that variable source and will remain in that variable investment option; and
new Dollar Cost Averaging instructions will be required to begin a Dollar Cost Averaging program.
You should consider your ability to continue a Dollar Cost Averaging program during all economic conditions. Transfers from a Dollar Cost Averaging fixed source are not subject to an excess interest adjustment. A Dollar Cost Averaging program can be used in conjunction with Asset Rebalancing and a guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit (subject to any investment restrictions involving the source). There is no charge for this benefit.
The Dollar Cost Averaging Program may vary for certain policies and may not be available for all policies, in all states or at all times. See your policy for availability of the fixed account options.
Asset Rebalancing
During the accumulation phase you can instruct us to automatically rebalance the amounts in your subaccounts to maintain your desired asset allocation. This feature is called asset rebalancing and can be started and stopped at any time. If a transfer is requested, we will honor the requested transfer and discontinue asset rebalancing. New instructions are required to start asset rebalancing. Asset rebalancing ignores amounts in the fixed account. You can choose to rebalance monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually. Asset rebalancing can be used in conjunction with a guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit. Please note, any amounts rebalanced may be immediately transferred to the Portfolio Allocation Method (PAM) investment options as applicable under the Portfolio Allocation Method. There is no charge for this benefit.
Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefits
You may elect one of the following optional riders under the policy that offers guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefits - the Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider, the Retirement Income Max® Rider or the Retirement Income Choice® 1.6 Rider. Important aspects of each of these riders are summarized in the “Appendix - Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit Comparison Table” and are described in more detail below. You should consult with tax and financial professionals to determine which of these riders, if any, is appropriate for you.
Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider
You may elect to purchase the optional Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider (also known as Living Benefits Rider) which provides you with a guaranteed minimum accumulation benefit and a guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit. The Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider is only available during the accumulation phase. The Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider is only available for annuitant issue ages through age 0-80. The maximum issue age may be lower if required by state law. The Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider is only available with the Return of Premium Death Benefit or the Annual Step-Up Death Benefit. Please Note: This rider may not be issued or added to Inherited IRAs (sometimes also referred to as beneficiary IRAs) or a nonqualified annuity under which death benefits are being distributed under a stretch withdrawal option. If you elect the Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider you cannot elect another GLWB. The guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit is based on our claims-paying ability.
You should view the Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider as a way to permit you to invest in variable investment options while still having your policy value and liquidity protected to the extent provided by the Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider.
Please note:
Certain protections under the rider are available only if you hold the rider for ten years.
If you elect the rider, we will monitor your policy value and we may transfer amounts back and forth between specified investment options under the policy (including guaranteed period options in the fixed account) and the variable investment options you choose, according to a mathematical model that we will use to assist us in managing portfolio risk and supporting the guarantees under the rider. See Portfolio Allocation Method below.
Any such transfers out of a guaranteed period option may be subject to an excess interest adjustment. (See Portfolio Allocation Method, below.)
39

You will begin paying the rider charge as of the date the rider takes effect, even if you do not begin taking withdrawals for many years, or ever. We will not refund the charges you have paid under the rider if you never choose to take withdrawals and/or if you never receive any payments under the rider.
We have designed this rider for you to take withdrawals each rider year that are less than or equal to the maximum annual withdrawal amount. You should not purchase this rider if you plan to take withdrawals in excess of the maximum annual withdrawal amount, because such excess withdrawals may significantly reduce or eliminate the value of the guarantees provided by the rider.
Because the guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit under this rider is accessed through regular withdrawals that do not exceed the maximum annual withdrawal amount, the rider may not be appropriate for you if you do not foresee a need for liquidity and your primary objective is to take the maximum advantage of the tax deferral aspect of the policy.
The tax rules for qualified policies may limit the value of this rider. Please consult a qualified tax adviser before electing the Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider for a qualified policy.
Guaranteed Minimum Accumulation Benefit of Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider
If you elect the Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider, we will provide a guaranteed future value. This benefit is intended to provide a level of protection regardless of the performance of the variable investment options you select.
Guaranteed Future Value. We guarantee that, on the guaranteed future value date (ten years after you elect the rider), your policy value will at least equal your guaranteed future value. The guaranteed future value on the rider date (i.e., the date the rider is added to the policy) is the policy value  (if X-Share is elected, less any premium enhancements if the rider is added in the first policy year). After the rider date and before the guaranteed future value date, the guaranteed future value is equal to:
the guaranteed future value on the rider date; plus
a percentage of subsequent premium payments (as described below); less
subsequent adjusted partial withdrawals (as described below).
After the guaranteed future value date, the guaranteed future value equals zero.
Subsequent Premium Payments. The percentage of subsequent premium payments that will be added to the guaranteed future value is as follows:
Rider Year   Percent of subsequent premium payments
added to guaranteed future value
1   100%
2   90%
3   80%
4   70%
5   60%
6   50%
7   50%
8   50%
9   50%
10   0%
Guaranteed Future Value Adjusted Partial Withdrawals. If you take a partial withdrawal, even withdrawals under the guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefits, it will reduce your guaranteed future value. The amount of the reduction is referred to as the adjusted partial withdrawal amount, which will be equal to the greater of:
the guaranteed future value immediately prior to the withdrawal multiplied by the percentage reduction in the policy value resulting from the gross partial withdrawal; or
the gross partial withdrawal amount.
(The gross partial withdrawal amount is the amount you request, plus any surrender charges or excess interest adjustment that may be applicable.)
40

In other words, if your policy value is greater than the guaranteed future value at the time you make a partial withdrawal, then your guaranteed future value is reduced by the same amount we reduce your policy value. However, if your policy value is less than the guaranteed future value at the time you make a partial withdrawal, then your guaranteed future value will be reduced by more than the amount we reduce your policy value.
See the “Appendix - Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider Adjusted Partial Withdrawals” to this prospectus for examples showing the effect of hypothetical withdrawals in more detail, including withdrawals that reduce the guaranteed future value by more than the amount of the gross partial withdrawal.
Guaranteed Minimum Accumulation Benefit. On the guaranteed future value date (ten years after you elect the rider), if the policy value is less than the guaranteed future value, we will add an amount equal to the difference to your policy value (the policy value will then be subject to investment risk). This addition will not increase your “principal back” or “for life” total withdrawal bases. After the guaranteed future value date, the guaranteed minimum accumulation benefit will terminate.
Example. Assume you make a single premium payment of $100,000 and you do not make any withdrawals or additional premium payments. If, on the guaranteed future value date, your policy value has declined to $90,000 because of negative investment performance, then we will add $10,000 ($100,000$90,000) to your policy value.
Please note: You do not have any protection under the guaranteed minimum accumulation benefit unless you hold the policy with the rider for ten years. If you think that you may terminate the policy or elect to start receiving annuity payments (or if you must begin taking required minimum distributions) before the guaranteed future value date, electing the rider may not be in your best interests.
Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit of Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider
If you elect the Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider, we will provide a maximum annual withdrawal amount (first as withdrawals from your policy value or, if necessary, as payments from us) regardless of your policy value. This benefit is intended to provide a level of benefits regardless of the performance of the variable investment options you select.
Withdrawal Guarantees. We account for the withdrawals you take under the rider by applying two different withdrawal guarantees:
“principal back,” for withdrawals of up to 7% of your total withdrawal base.
“for life,” for withdrawals of up to 5% of your total withdrawal base.
When you make a withdrawal, you do not need to specify it as being under either withdrawal guarantee. Any withdrawals that you take while the rider is in effect could have different impacts under each of the withdrawal guarantees - on your maximum annual withdrawal amount, on your total withdrawal base, and on your minimum remaining withdrawal amount. For example, withdrawals that are compliant with the “principal back” maximum withdrawal amount could result in excess withdrawals under the “for life” withdrawal guarantee and, consequently, would reduce the maximum annual withdrawal amount, the total withdrawal base, and the minimum remaining withdrawal amount under the “for life” withdrawal guarantee. (See Adjusted Partial Withdrawals below.)
Example: Assume you make a single premium payment of $100,000 and you have not made any withdrawals or additional premium payments. If you withdraw $6,000, that would be an excess withdrawal of $1,000 ($6,000 - $5,000) under the for life guarantee but not under the principal back guarantee.
Your ability to change the frequency or amount of your withdrawals ceases if your policy value reaches zero.
Of course, you can always withdraw an amount up to your cash value pursuant to your rights under the policy at your discretion. See “Appendix - Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider Adjusted Partial Withdrawals,” for examples showing the effect of hypothetical withdrawals in more detail, including an excess withdrawal that reduces the total withdrawal base by a pro rata amount.
Please note:
Any amount withdrawn in a rider year (including any surrender charge or excess interest adjustment) in excess of the maximum withdrawal amount is an excess withdrawal.
The amount of your excess withdrawal will impact the maximum annual withdrawal amount, total withdrawal base, and minimum remaining withdrawal amount under each guarantee and such impact may be on a greater than dollar-for-dollar basis. (See Maximum Annual Withdrawal Benefit, Total Withdrawal Base, and Minimum Remaining Withdrawal Amount, below.)
We will not refund charges that have been paid up to the point of terminating the policy or receiving annuity payments.
Withdrawals under the guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit also:
reduce your policy value;
reduce the guaranteed future value;
41

reduce your death benefit and other benefits;
may be subject to surrender charges or excess interest adjustments;
may be subject to income taxes and federal tax penalties (See TAX INFORMATION).
Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount. Under this benefit:
you can withdraw up to 7% of your “principal back” total withdrawal base each rider year until your “principal back” minimum remaining withdrawal amount reaches zero.
Example. Assume you make a single premium payment of $100,000 and that you do not make any withdrawals or additional premium payments. Assume that after five years, your policy value has declined to $70,000 solely because of negative investment performance. You could still receive up to $7,000 (7% of $100,000) each rider year for the next fourteen years and $2,000 in the year immediately thereafter so you would get back your full $100,000 (assuming that you do not withdraw more than $7,000 in any one rider year).
or, you can withdraw up to 5% of your “for life” total withdrawal base each rider year starting with the rider anniversary immediately following the annuitant's 59th birthday and lasting until the annuitant's death, unless your “for life” minimum remaining withdrawal amount reaches zero because of “excess withdrawals” (see Adjusted Partial Withdrawals, below). A penalty tax may be assessed on amounts surrendered from the policy before the taxpayer reaches age 59½.
Example. Assume you are the owner and annuitant and you make a single premium payment of $100,000 when you are 55 years old. Assume you do not make any withdrawals or additional premium payments. Assume that after five years, your policy value has declined to $70,000 solely because of negative investment performance. You could still receive up to $5,000 (5% of $100,000) each rider year for the rest of your life (assuming that you do not withdraw more than $5,000 in any one rider year).
You can receive up to the maximum annual withdrawal amount each rider year (first as withdrawals from your policy value and, if necessary, as payments from us) under this rider regardless of your policy value; however, once your policy value reaches zero you cannot make premium payments, and all other policy features, benefits, and guarantees (except those provided by this rider) are terminated. In order to continue withdrawals under this rider after your policy value reaches zero, you must select an amount (which cannot exceed the maximum annual withdrawal amount at that time) and frequency (annually, semi-annually, quarterly or monthly) of future withdrawals. Once selected, the amount and frequency of future withdrawals cannot be changed.
Please note:
Withdrawals under the 5% “for life” guarantee cannot begin until after the rider anniversary following the annuitant's 59th birthday.
Any withdrawal before the rider anniversary following the annuitant's 59th birthday will reduce the benefits under the 5% “for life” guarantee.
The maximum annual withdrawal amounts described above (the 7% “principal back” and 5% “for life”) are based on rider years, not calendar or policy years (if different from rider years).
You cannot carry over any portion of your maximum annual withdrawal amount that is not withdrawn during a rider year for withdrawal in a future rider year. This means that if you do not take the maximum annual withdrawal amount during a rider year, you cannot take more than the maximum annual withdrawal amount in the next rider year and maintain the rider's guarantees.
Excess withdrawals may cause you to lose the benefit of the rider.
If you have a qualified policy, minimum required distribution rules may force you to take excess withdrawals to avoid the imposition of a 50% penalty. Further, some qualified policies have withdrawal restrictions that may (with limited exceptions) prevent you from taking withdrawals before age 59½. You should consult a tax adviser before purchasing this rider with a qualified policy.
Total Withdrawal Base. We use the total withdrawal base to calculate the maximum annual withdrawal amount. The total withdrawal base on the rider date is the policy value  (if X-Share is elected, less any premium enhancements if the rider is added in the first policy year). After the rider date, the total withdrawal base is equal to:
the total withdrawal base on the rider date; plus
subsequent premium payments; less
subsequent adjusted partial withdrawals (as described below).
We will calculate separate total withdrawal bases for the “principal back” and “for life” guarantees.
Please note: We determine the total withdrawal base solely to calculate the maximum annual withdrawal amount. Your total withdrawal base is not a cash value, a surrender value, or a death benefit. It is not available for withdrawal, it is not a minimum return for any subaccount, and it is not a guarantee of policy value.
42

Minimum Remaining Withdrawal Amount. The minimum remaining withdrawal amount represents the total amount of guaranteed withdrawals still available under the rider. The minimum remaining withdrawal amount on the rider date is the policy value  (if X-Share is elected, less any premium enhancements if the rider is added in the first policy year). After the rider date, the minimum remaining withdrawal amount is equal to:
the minimum remaining withdrawal amount on the rider date; plus
subsequent premium payments; less
subsequent adjusted partial withdrawals (as described below).
We will calculate separate minimum remaining withdrawal amounts for the “principal back” and “for life” guarantees. It is important to calculate separate minimum remaining withdrawal amounts because they can provide different payment amounts not only upon reaching exhaustion but also in certain situations involving continuation after the annuitant's death.
Adjusted Partial Withdrawals. Each rider year, for each withdrawal guarantee (i.e., “principal back” and “for life”), gross partial withdrawals (the amount that you request be withdrawn, plus any surrender charge or excess interest adjustment that may be applicable) up to the maximum annual withdrawal amount for that withdrawal guarantee, will reduce the minimum remaining withdrawal amount for that withdrawal guarantee on a dollar-for-dollar basis, but will not reduce the total withdrawal base for that withdrawal guarantee. For each withdrawal guarantee, gross partial withdrawals in excess of the maximum annual withdrawal amount for that withdrawal guarantee will reduce the total withdrawal base and minimum remaining withdrawal amount for that withdrawal guarantee by the greater of the dollar amount of the excess withdrawal or a pro rata amount (possibly to zero). See “Appendix - Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider Adjusted Partial Withdrawals,” which provides examples showing the effect of a withdrawal. Excess withdrawals may cause you to lose the withdrawal guarantees under this rider.
Please note: Gross partial withdrawals that are compliant with the “principal back” withdrawal guarantee (i.e., withdrawals of the “principal back” maximum annual withdrawal amount) and any partial withdrawal before the rider anniversary following the annuitant’s 59th birthday, will result in an excess partial withdrawal under the “for life” guarantee, and will reduce the “for life” maximum annual withdrawal amount, the “for life” total withdrawal base, and the “for life” minimum remaining withdrawal amount. Such reduction may be on a greater than dollar-for-dollar basis if the policy value is less than the applicable base.
Rider Fee. There is an additional charge for this rider which is a percentage of the “principal back” total withdrawal base on each rider anniversary which is charged annually before annuitization. We will also deduct the rider fee upon full surrender of the policy or other termination of the rider. The rider fee is deducted from each investment option in proportion to the amount of policy value in each investment option. Generally, the rider fee is deducted regardless of your values (i.e., even if your policy value exceeds your total withdrawal base).
We will continue to calculate the rider fee using the “principal back” total withdrawal base even after the “principal back” minimum remaining withdrawal amount reaches zero. The “principal back” total withdrawal base is always greater than or equal to the “for life” total withdrawal base.
Please note: Because the rider fee is a percentage of your “principal back” total withdrawal base on each rider anniversary, the fee can be substantially more than the same percentage of your policy value if that total withdrawal base is higher than your policy value.
Portfolio Allocation Method
If you elect the Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider, the Portfolio Allocation Method (“PAM”) will automatically be in effect. PAM is designed to help manage portfolio risk and support the guarantees under the Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider. Using PAM, we will monitor your policy value and may transfer amounts back and forth between the PAM TA Aegon U.S. Government Securities - Service Class subaccount (which invests in the Transamerica Aegon U.S. Government Securities VP - Service Class portfolio of the Transamerica Series Trust) or certain guaranteed period options of the fixed account (each a “PAM investment option” and collectively, the “PAM investment options”) and the variable investment options you choose. You should read the underlying fund prospectus for the variable PAM investment option(s) carefully before you elect the Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider. We will transfer amounts from your variable investment options to the PAM investment options to the extent we deem necessary to support the guarantees under the rider. We will transfer amounts to the PAM investment options proportionally from all your variable investment options. Currently, PAM transfers are being made to the PAM TA Aegon U.S. Government Securities - Service Class subaccount. We will not transfer amounts to the PAM investment options if your policy value is greater than guarantees under the rider.
PAM is designed to help reduce portfolio risk associated with negative performance. Using PAM, we will transfer amounts from your variable investment options to the PAM investment options to the extent we deem necessary to help manage portfolio risk and support the guarantees under the Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider. You should not view the Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider or PAM as a “market timing” tool or other type of investment program designed to enhance your policy value. If you choose this rider, it may result in a lower policy value in certain situations. If policy value is transferred from your chosen variable investment
43

options to the PAM investment options, less of your policy value may be available to participate in any future positive investment performance of your variable investment options. This may potentially provide a lower policy value than if you did not select the Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider.
Under PAM, the mathematical model compares a number of interrelated factors including your policy value and the guarantees under the rider to be provided in the future. The mathematical model also uses assumptions for interest rates, the duration of the policy and stock market volatility. The following table sets forth the most influential of these factors and indicates how each one (assuming all other factors remain constant) could trigger a transfer into or out of the PAM subaccounts.
Factor Direction of Transfer
Policy Value Increases Transfer to the investment options
Policy Value Decreases Transfer to the PAM subaccounts
Interest Rates Increase Transfer to the investment options
Volatility Increases Transfer to the PAM subaccounts
The amount of the transfer will vary depending on the magnitude and direction of the change in these factors. We may transfer some or all of your policy value to or from the PAM investment options.
Transactions you make also affect the number of PAM transfers including:
additional premium payments; and
excess withdrawals.
These transactions will change the policy value relative to the guarantees under the rider and may result in additional PAM transfers.
You may not allocate premium payments to, nor transfer policy value into or out of, the PAM investment options. PAM transfers are not subject to any transfer fee and do not count against the number of any free transfers we allow. Transfers out of a fixed account PAM investment option are at our discretion and may be subject to an excess interest adjustment if the transfer occurs before the end of a guarantee period. Any transfer we make out of PAM investment options to your variable investment options will be allocated into your variable investment options in proportion to the amount of policy value in each variable investment option. Please note that if your policy value is 100% allocated to the fixed account, we will be unable to transfer any of your policy value out of PAM investment options.
Generally, transfers to the PAM investment options first occur when the policy value drops by a cumulative amount of 3% to 5% over any period of time, although we may make transfers to the PAM investment options when the policy value drops by a cumulative amount of less than 3% in relation to the guarantees. If the policy value continues to fall, more transfers to the PAM investment options will occur. When a transfer occurs, the transferred policy value is allocated to the PAM investment option(s) we deem appropriate. The policy value allocated to the PAM investment options will remain there unless the performance of your chosen investment options recovers sufficiently to enable us to transfer amounts back to your investment options while maintaining the guarantees under the Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider. This generally occurs when the policy value increases by 5% to 10% in relation to the guarantees, although we may require a larger increase before transferring amounts back to your investment options.
The Daily Rebalancing Formula Under the Mathematical Model: As noted above, to limit our exposure under the rider, we transfer policy value from your investment options to the PAM subaccounts, to the extent called for by a mathematical model that will not change once you purchase the policy. We do this in order to minimize the need to provide payments (for example, when your policy value goes to zero by other than an excess withdrawal), or to extend the time before any payment is required. When payments become more likely (because your policy value is approaching zero), the mathematical model will tend to allocate more policy value to the PAM subaccounts. If, on the other hand, the policy value is much higher than the guarantees under the rider, then payments may not be necessary, and therefore, the mathematical model will tend to allocate more policy value to the investment options.
Each market day the mathematical model computes a “target allocation,” which is the portion of the policy value that is to be allocated to the investment options.
The target allocation depends on several factors, including the policy value as compared to the guarantees under the rider, the time until payments are likely required, and interest rates. However, as time passes, these factors change. Therefore, the target allocation changes from one market day to the next. See “Appendix - PAM Method Transfers” for more detail regarding the workings of the mathematical model.

Upgrades
Prior to the annuitant's 86th birthday and after the third rider anniversary, you can upgrade the total withdrawal base and guaranteed future value to the policy value by providing us the required notice. The minimum remaining withdrawal amounts will also be upgraded to the policy value and the maximum annual withdrawal amounts will be recalculated.
If an upgrade is elected, your current rider will terminate and a new rider will be issued with a new rider date, guaranteed future value date, and its own rider fee percentage (which may be higher than your current rider fee percentage). The “principal back” and “for life” withdrawal percentages will not change. The new rider date will be the date we receive all necessary information.
Annuitization
If you have reached your maximum annuity commencement date, we will allow you to annuitize your policy and elect to receive lifetime annuity payments equal to your 5% “for life” maximum annual withdrawal amount.
Termination
The Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider will terminate upon the earliest of the following:
the date we receive written notice from you in good order requesting termination of the Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider (you may not terminate the rider before the third rider anniversary);
annuitization (however, if you have reached your maximum annuity commencement date you may choose an annuitization option which guarantees you lifetime payments in an amount equal to your 5% “for life” maximum annual withdrawal amount);
the date the policy to which this rider is attached is assigned or the owner is changed without our approval;
the date an excess withdrawal reduces your policy value to zero; or
termination of your policy.
Please note: This feature terminates upon annuitization and there is a maximum annuity commencement date.
The Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider may vary for certain policies and may not be available for all policies, in all states, at all times or through all financial intermediaries. We may discontinue offering this benefit at any time. In some cases, a benefit not available through a financial intermediary may be obtained by contacting us directly. For more information on the options available for electing a benefit, please contact your financial intermediary or our Administrative Office.
Retirement Income Max® Rider
If you elect the Retirement Income Max® Rider identified below, which provides certain guaranteed benefits, the Company requires your policy value to be allocated into designated investment options. One or more of the designated investment options may include a volatility control strategy. Volatility control strategies, in periods of high market volatility, could limit your participation in market gains; this may conflict with your investment objectives by limiting your ability to maximize potential growth of your policy value and, in turn, the value of any guaranteed benefit that is tied to investment performance. Volatility control strategies are intended to help limit overall volatility and reduce the effects of significant market downturns during periods of high market volatility, providing policy owners with the opportunity for smoother performance and better risk adjusted returns. Volatility control (and similar terms) can encompass a variety of investment strategies of different types and degrees; therefore, you should read the applicable annuity and underlying fund portfolio prospectuses carefully to understand how these investment strategies may affect your policy value and rider benefits. The Company’s requirement to invest in accordance with designated investment options, which may include volatility control, may reduce our costs and risks associated with this rider. You pay an additional fee for the rider benefits which, in part, pay for protecting the rider benefit base from investment losses. Since the rider benefit base does not decrease as a result of investment losses, volatility control strategies might not provide meaningful additional benefit to you. You should carefully evaluate with your financial advisor whether to invest in funds with volatility control strategies, taking into consideration the potential positive or negative impact that such strategy may have on your investment objectives, your policy value and the benefits under the Retirement Income Max® Rider. If you determine that funds with volatility control strategies are not consistent with your investment objectives, there continues to be other designated investment options available under the Retirement Income Max® Rider that do not invest in funds that utilize volatility control strategies.
You may elect to purchase the optional Retirement Income Max® rider which, provides you with: (1) a guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit; and (2) an opportunity for increases in the rider withdrawal amount. This rider is available during the accumulation phase, and requires that you allocate 100% of your policy value in certain designated investment options which are
45

designed to help manage our risk and support the guarantees under the rider. If you elect the Retirement Income Max® rider you cannot elect another GLWB. The tax rules for qualified policies may limit the value of this rider. Please consult a qualified tax adviser before electing the Retirement Income Max® rider for a qualified policy. Please Note: This rider may not be issued or added to Inherited IRAs (sometimes also referred to as beneficiary IRAs) or a nonqualified annuity under which death benefits are being distributed under a stretch withdrawal option. The guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit is based on our claims-paying ability.
Retirement Income Max® - Base Benefit
Under this benefit, you can receive up to the rider withdrawal amount each rider year (first as withdrawals from your policy value and, if necessary because your policy value goes to zero by other than an excess withdrawal, as payments from us for life), starting with the rider year immediately following the annuitant’s (or the annuitant's spouse if younger and the joint life option is elected) 59th birthday and lasting until the annuitant’s (or surviving spouse's if the joint life option is elected) death (unless your withdrawal base is reduced to zero because of an “excess withdrawal”; see Withdrawal Base Adjustments, below). A rider year begins on the rider date and thereafter on each anniversary of that date. The withdrawal percentage and growth percentage that are used to determine your rider withdrawal amount will be disclosed in a Rate Sheet Prospectus Supplement which may be amended from time to time by us. We are under no obligation to notify you when we amend the Rate Sheet Prospectus Supplement. Please contact your financial intermediary or call our Administrative Office to determine whether the Rate Sheet Prospectus Supplement has been amended.
Of course, you can always withdraw an amount up to your cash value pursuant to your rights under the policy at your discretion. See the “Appendix - Hypothetical Adjusted Partial Surrenders - Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit Riders” for examples showing the effect of hypothetical withdrawals in more detail.
Please note:
You will begin paying the rider charge as of the date the rider takes effect, even if you do not begin taking withdrawals for many years, or ever. We will not refund the charges you have paid under the rider if you never choose to take withdrawals and/or if you never receive any payments under the rider.
We have designed this rider to allow for withdrawals from your policy value each rider year that are less than or equal to the rider withdrawal amount. You should not purchase this rider if you plan to take withdrawals in excess of the rider withdrawal amount, because such excess withdrawals may significantly reduce or eliminate the value of the guarantee provided by the rider.
The longer you wait to start making withdrawals under the benefit, the less time you have to benefit from the guarantee because of decreasing life expectancy as you age. On the other hand, the longer you wait to begin making withdrawals, the higher your withdrawal percentage may be, the higher the withdrawal base due to growth may be, and the more opportunities you will have to lock in a higher withdrawal base. You should carefully consider when to begin making withdrawals. There is a risk that you will not begin making withdrawals at the most financially beneficial time for you.
Because the guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit under this rider is accessed through regular withdrawals that do not exceed the rider withdrawal amount, the rider may not be appropriate for you if you do not foresee a need for liquidity and your primary objective is to take maximum advantage of the tax deferral aspect of the policy.
All policy value must be allocated to a limited number of specified investment options. You should consult with your registered representative to assist you in determining whether these certain investment options are suited for your financial needs and risk tolerance.
Any amount of withdrawals in any rider year that are in excess of the rider withdrawal amount are excess withdrawals.
An excess withdrawal may impact the withdrawal base on a greater than dollar-for-dollar basis and may cause you to lose the benefit of this rider.
Upon the death of the annuitant (or the death of the surviving spouse if the joint option is elected and the surviving spouse was eligible to and elected to continue the policy), the Retirement Income Max® rider terminates and all benefits thereunder cease.
Like all withdrawals, withdrawals while this rider is in effect also:
reduce your policy value;
reduce your base policy death benefit and other benefits;
may be subject to surrender charges or excess interest adjustments;
may be subject to income taxes and federal tax penalties; and
may be limited or restricted under certain qualified policies.
Rider Withdrawal Amount. You can withdraw up to the rider withdrawal amount in any rider year (after age 59) from your policy value without causing an excess withdrawal. See Withdrawal Base Adjustments below.
46

The rider withdrawal amount is zero if the annuitant (or the annuitant's spouse if younger and the joint life option is elected) is not 59 years old on the rider date and remains zero until the first day of the rider year after the annuitant’s (or the annuitant's spouse's if younger and the joint life option is elected) 59th birthday. If the annuitant (or the annuitant's spouse if younger and the joint life option is elected) is at least 59 years old on the rider date, then the rider withdrawal amount is equal to the withdrawal base multiplied by the withdrawal percentage (see below).
For qualified policies: If the plan participant (generally the annuitant) is at least 70½ years old, the rider withdrawal amount for that rider year (and each subsequent rider year) is equal to the greater of:
the rider withdrawal amount described above; or
an amount equal to any minimum required distribution amount (for the tax year on that rider anniversary) calculated using only: (1) the living annuitant’s age, (2) the IRS Uniform Lifetime table or, if applicable, the Joint Life and Survivor Expectancy table, (3) the policy value of the base policy, (prior to the first rider anniversary we use the policy value on the rider date and thereafter we use the policy value on the date prescribed by the IRS) and (4) amounts from the current calendar year (no carry-over from past years).
Only amounts calculated as set forth above can be used as the rider withdrawal amount.
If your policy value reaches zero:
due to a non-excess withdrawal, then you cannot make premium payments and all other policy features, benefits, and guarantees (except those provided by this rider) are terminated. If your policy value reaches zero by other than an excess withdrawal, we will, unless instructed otherwise, disburse any remaining minimum required distribution amount for the current rider year and set up monthly payments beginning in the next rider year according to your guarantees.
due to an excess withdrawal, then this rider terminates (as does the policy).
Please note:
If the rider is added prior to the annuitant’s (or the annuitant’s spouse if younger and the joint life option is elected) 59th birthday, the rider withdrawal amount will be zero until the beginning of the rider year after the annuitant’s (or the annuitant’s spouse if younger and the joint life option is elected) 59th birthday, however, you will still be charged a rider fee prior to this time.
You cannot carry over any portion of your rider withdrawal amount that is not withdrawn during a rider year for withdrawal in a future rider year. This means that if you do not take the entire rider withdrawal amount during a rider year, you cannot take more than the rider withdrawal amount in the next rider year and maintain the rider's guarantees.
Excess withdrawals may cause you to lose the benefit of the rider.
All policy value must be allocated to a limited number of specified investment options. (See Designated Investment Options below.)
Withdrawal Percentage. We use the withdrawal percentage to calculate the rider withdrawal amount. The withdrawal percentage is determined by the annuitant’s age (or the annuitant's spouse's age if younger and the joint life option is elected) at the time of the first withdrawal taken on or after the rider anniversary immediately following the annuitant’s (or the annuitant's spouse's if younger and the joint life option is elected) 59th birthday.
As noted above, the withdrawal percentage is disclosed in Rate Sheet Prospectus Supplements which may be amended by us from time to time. We are under no obligation to notify you when we amend the Rate Sheet Prospectus Supplement. Please contact your financial intermediary or call our Administrative Office to determine whether the Rate Sheet Prospectus Supplement has been amended. In order to receive the applicable withdrawal percentage: (1) your application must be signed and received within the stated time period set forth in the applicable Rate Sheet Prospectus Supplement and (2) your application must be received and your policy must be funded within the stated time periods set forth in the applicable Rate Sheet Prospectus Supplement. Withdrawal percentages reflected in a Rate Sheet Prospectus Supplement with an effective period that does not include the date you signed your application will not apply to your policy. You should not purchase this rider without first obtaining the applicable Rate Sheet Prospectus Supplement. You can contact us to receive a Rate Sheet Prospectus Supplement applicable to you. For riders issued prior to May 1, 2015, the applicable withdrawal percentages are set forth in the May 1, 2015 Statement of Additional Information.
Please note, once established, the withdrawal percentage will not generally increase even though the annuitant’s age increases except in certain instances involving automatic step-ups.
47

Withdrawal Base. We use the withdrawal base to calculate the rider withdrawal amount. The withdrawal base on the rider date is the policy value  (if X-Share is elected, less any premium enhancements if the rider is added in the first policy year). During any rider year, the withdrawal base is equal to the withdrawal base on the rider date or most recent rider anniversary, plus subsequent premium payments, less subsequent withdrawal base adjustments due to excess withdrawals.
Please note:
We determine the withdrawal base solely to calculate the rider withdrawal amount and rider fee.
Your withdrawal base is not a cash value, a surrender value, or a death benefit. It is not available for withdrawal, it is not a minimum return for any subaccount, and it is not a guarantee of policy value.
Because the withdrawal base is generally equal to the policy value on the rider date, the rider withdrawal amount may be lower if you delay electing the rider and the policy value decreases before you elect the rider.
On each rider anniversary, the withdrawal base will equal the greatest of:
the current withdrawal base;
the withdrawal base immediately before the rider anniversary, increased by the growth credit, if any (see Growth below);
the policy value on any monthiversarySM within the current rider year, (the same day of the month as the rider date, or the next market day if our Administrative Office or the New York Stock Exchange are closed) including the current rider anniversary (see Automatic Step-Up below).
See “Appendix - Hypothetical Example of the Withdrawal Base Calculation - Retirement Income Max® Rider” which illustrates the hypothetical example of the withdrawal base calculation.
Growth. On each of the first ten rider anniversaries, we will add a growth credit to your withdrawal base if no withdrawal occurred during the preceding rider year. The annual growth credit is equal to the growth percentage multiplied by the withdrawal base immediately before the rider anniversary.
As noted above, the growth percentage is disclosed in Rate Sheet Prospectus Supplements which may be amended by us from time to time. We are under no obligation to notify you when we amend the Rate Sheet Prospectus Supplement. Please contact your financial intermediary or call our Administrative Office to determine whether the Rate Sheet Prospectus Supplement has been amended. In order to receive the applicable growth percentage: (1) your application must be signed within the stated time period during which such growth percentages are applicable and (2) your application must be received and your policy must be funded within the stated time periods set forth in the applicable Rate Sheet Prospectus Supplement. Growth percentages reflected in a Rate Sheet Prospectus Supplement with an effective period that does not include the date you signed your application will not apply to your policy. You should not purchase this rider without first obtaining the applicable Rate Sheet Prospectus Supplement. You can contact us to receive a Rate Sheet Prospectus Supplement applicable to you. For riders issued prior to May 1, 2015, the applicable growth percentages are set forth in the May 1, 2015 Statement of Additional Information
Please note: Because a withdrawal will eliminate the potential application of the growth credit for that rider year, you should consider your need or possible need to take withdrawals within the first 10 rider years in deciding whether to purchase the rider.
Automatic Step-Up. On each rider anniversary, we will automatically step-up the withdrawal base to an amount equal to the greater of (1) the highest policy value on any monthiversarySM during the preceding rider year, if no excess withdrawal occurred, or (2) the policy value on the rider anniversary. If neither value is greater than the current withdrawal base, or the withdrawal base is increased by any growth percentage, no automatic step-up will occur. The withdrawal percentage (as indicated in the Rate Sheet Prospectus Supplement) will also increase if you have crossed into another age band prior to the automatic step-up. Please note, the increase is part of the automatic step-up and if no automatic step-up occurs then there will be no withdrawal percentage increase.
On each rider anniversary the rider fee percentage may increase (or decrease) at the time of any automatic step-up. The rider fee percentage will not exceed the maximum rider fee percentage in effect when you purchased the rider.
Automatic Step-Up Opt Out. Each time an automatic step-up results in a rider fee percentage increase, you have the option to reject the automatic step-up and reinstate the withdrawal base, withdrawal percentage, and rider fee percentage to their respective amounts immediately before the automatic step-up, provided that you do so within 30 days after the rider anniversary on which the automatic step-up occurred. We must receive your rejection (each time you elect to opt out), in good order, at our Administrative Office within the same 30 day period after the rider anniversary on which the automatic step-up occurred. Opting out of one step-up does not operate as an opt-out of any future step-ups.
Withdrawal Base Adjustments. Cumulative gross partial withdrawals up to the rider withdrawal amount in any rider year will not reduce the withdrawal base. Any amount of gross partial withdrawals in excess of the rider withdrawal amount in any rider year (“excess withdrawals”) will reduce the withdrawal base, however, by the greater of the dollar amount of the excess withdrawal (if the
48

policy value is greater than the withdrawal base) or a pro rata amount (in proportion to the reduction in the policy value when the policy value is less than the withdrawal base), possibly to zero. If an excess withdrawal reduces the policy value to zero, this rider will terminate. Withdrawal base adjustments occur immediately following excess withdrawals. See “Appendix - Hypothetical Adjusted Partial Surrenders - Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit Riders” for examples showing the effect of hypothetical withdrawals in more detail, including an excess withdrawal that reduces the withdrawal base by a pro rata amount. The effect of an excess withdrawal is amplified if the policy value is less than the withdrawal base.
Please Note: We do not monitor for, or notify you of, excess withdrawals. If you take regular or scheduled withdrawals please pay particular attention to any excess withdrawal because your otherwise regular or scheduled non-excess withdrawals may thereafter all be excess withdrawals that reduce or eliminate your benefit on an accelerated basis.
Example. Assume you are the owner and annuitant and you make a single premium payment of $100,000 when you are 66 years old. Further assume that you do not make any withdrawals or additional premium payments, no automatic step-ups occurred, but that after five years your policy value has declined to $90,000 solely because of negative investment performance. With an assumed annual growth rate percentage of 5.0%, after 5 years the withdrawal base is equal to $127,628 ($100,000 x 1.055). You could receive up to $6,381 which is the assumed withdrawal percentage of 5.0% for the single life option multiplied by the withdrawal base of $127,628, each rider year for the rest of your life (assuming that you take your first withdrawal when you are age 71, that you do not withdraw more than the rider withdrawal amount in any one year and there are no future automatic step-ups.)
Example continued. Assume the same facts as above, but you withdraw $10,000 when you are 71 years old. That excess withdrawal decreases your future rider withdrawal amount to $6,501.
See the “Appendix - Hypothetical Adjusted Partial Surrenders - Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit Riders” for examples showing the effect of hypothetical withdrawals in more detail.
Designated Investment Options. If you elect this rider, you must designate 100% of your policy value into one or more of the designated investment options approved for the Retirement Income Max® Rider. See “Appendix - Designated Investment Options” for a complete listing of available subaccounts. Requiring that you designate 100% of your policy value to the designated investment options, some of which employ strategies that are intended to reduce the risk of loss and/or manage volatility, may reduce investment returns and may reduce the likelihood that we will be required to use our own assets to pay amounts due under this benefit.
Transfers between the designated investment options are allowed as permitted under the policy; however, you cannot transfer any amount (or allocate premium payments) to any non-designated investment option. Within 30 days following the fifth rider anniversary (and each successive fifth rider anniversary), you can terminate this rider. Starting the next market day after you terminate your rider, you may transfer (or allocate premium payments) to a non-designated investment option. Terminating the rider will result in losing all your benefits under the rider.
Please note:
The earliest you can transfer (or allocate premium payments) to a non-designated investment option is the first market day after the fifth rider anniversary. You will be required to terminate the rider first (and lose its benefits).
We can eliminate a designated investment option at any time. If this occurs, then an owner will be required to reallocate values in the affected designated investment options to other designated investment options that meet the allocation requirements.
Retirement Income Max® - Joint Life Option
If you elect this rider, then you can also elect to postpone termination of the rider until the later of the annuitant or annuitant’s spouse’s death (only if the annuitant’s spouse is eligible to and elects to continue the policy, see TAX INFORMATION - Tax Status of a Nonqualified Policy - Distribution Requirements). If you elect the Joint Life option, then the withdrawal percentage (used to calculate the rider withdrawal amount) is lower.
Please note:
The withdrawal percentage for each “age at the time of the first withdrawal” is lower if you elect this option.
The annuitant's spouse (or in certain instances a non-natural entity acting for the benefit of the annuitant's spouse) must be either a joint owner along with the annuitant or the sole primary beneficiary (and there is no joint owner), if you elect this option. (Please see Spousal Continuation section for more detail regarding annuitant's spouse).
A former spouse of the annuitant cannot continue to keep the policy in force if no longer married to the annuitant at the time of the annuitant's death. In that event, the rider will terminate and no additional withdrawals under the rider will be permitted.
The annuitant’s spouse for purposes of this rider cannot be changed to a new spouse.
49

The rider withdrawal percentage is based on the age of the younger of the annuitant and annuitant’s spouse, if you elect this option.
This option may not be permitted in the case of certain non-natural owners.
The rider's issue ages may vary if you elect this option.
Retirement Income Max® Rider Fees
Retirement Income Max® Rider Fee. The rider fee is calculated on the rider date and at the beginning of each rider quarter. The rider fee will be adjusted for any premium additions and excess withdrawals. It will be deducted automatically from your policy value at the end of each rider quarter.
On an annual basis, in general terms, the rider fee is the rider fee percentage times the withdrawal base. Specifically, the quarterly fee is calculated by multiplying (A) by (B) multiplied by (C), where:
(A) is the withdrawal base;
(B) is the rider fee percentage; and
(C) is the number of (remaining) days in the rider quarter divided by the total number of days in the applicable rider year.
The following example uses these assumed values: Initial Premium = $100,000; Withdrawal Base = $100,000; Rider Fee percentage = 1.25%; and 91 total days in the rider quarter.
Example 1: Calculation at rider issue for first quarter rider fee. The rider fee is:
= 100,000*0.0125*(91/365)
= 1,250*(91/365)
= $311.64
We will assess a prorated rider fee upon full surrender of the policy or other termination of the rider for the period beginning on the first day of the most recent rider quarter and ending on the date of termination.
On each rider anniversary the rider fee percentage may increase (or decrease) at the time of an automatic step-up. Each time an automatic step-up results in a rider fee percentage increase, you will have the option to reject the automatic step-up and reinstate the withdrawal base and rider fee percentage to their respective amounts immediately before the automatic step-up (adjusted for any subsequent premium payments or withdrawals), provided that you do so within 30 calendar days after the rider anniversary on which the automatic step-up occurred. We must receive your rejection, in good order, at our Administrative Office within the 30 day period after the rider anniversary on which the automatic step-up occurred.
Please note regarding the rider fee:
Because the rider fee is a percentage of the withdrawal base, it could be a much higher percentage of your policy value, particularly in the event that your policy value decreases significantly.
Because the rider fee is a percentage of the withdrawal base, the amount of the rider fee we deduct will increase if the withdrawal base increases (although the percentage(s) may remain the same).
Rider Fee Adjustment for Premium Payments and Excess Withdrawals. A rider fee adjustment will be calculated for subsequent premium payments and excess withdrawals because these events will change the withdrawal base. The rider fee adjustment may be positive or negative and will be added to or subtracted from the rider fee to be collected.
The following example uses these assumed values: All initial values as in Example 1; Subsequent Premium = $10,000; and 30 remaining days in the rider quarter.
Example 2: Calculation for first quarter rider fee adjustment for a subsequent premium. The fee adjustment is:
= 10,000*0.0125*(30/365)
= 125*(30/365)
= $10.27
Total fee assessed at the end of the first rider quarter (assuming no further rider fee adjustments):
= 311.64 + 10.27
= $321.91
Retirement Income Max® Rider Issue Requirements
We will not issue the Retirement Income Max® rider unless:
the annuitant is not yet age 86 (lower if required by state law);
the annuitant is also an owner (except in the case of non-natural owners);
50

there are no more than two owners; and
if the joint life option is elected, the annuitant’s spouse is also not yet 86 (lower if required by state law) and (1) is a joint owner along with the annuitant or (2) is the sole primary beneficiary (and there is no joint owner).
The use of joint life option may not be permitted in the case of certain non-natural owners.
Termination
The Retirement Income Max® rider will terminate upon the earliest of the following:
the date we receive written notice from you requesting termination of the rider if such notice is received before midnight of the 30th calendar day after you receive the rider;
the date we receive written notice from you requesting termination of the rider if such notice is received by us during the 30 days following the fifth rider anniversary or every fifth rider anniversary thereafter;
the death of the annuitant (or if the joint life option was elected, the death of the annuitant’s spouse if that spouse was eligible to and elected to continue the policy as the surviving spouse);
annuitization (however, if you have reached your maximum annuity commencement date you may choose an annuitization option which guarantees you lifetime payments in an amount equal to your rider withdrawal amount);
the date the policy to which this rider is attached is assigned or if the owner is changed without our approval;
the date an excess withdrawal reduces your policy value to zero; or
termination of your policy.
Please note: This rider terminates upon annuitization and there is a maximum annuity commencement date at which time your policy will be annuitized according to its terms. However, if you have reached your maximum annuity commencement date, we will allow you to annuitize your policy and elect to receive lifetime annuity payments which are at least equal to your rider withdrawal amount. Please contact us for more information concerning your options.
The Retirement Income Max® rider and additional options may vary for certain policies and may not be available for all policies, in all states, at all times or through all financial intermediaries. We may discontinue offering this benefit at any time. In some cases, a benefit not available through a financial intermediary may be obtained by contacting us directly. For more information on the options available for electing a benefit, please contact your financial intermediary or our Administrative Office.
Retirement Income Choice® 1.6 Rider
If you elect the Retirement Income Choice® 1.6 Rider identified below, which provides certain guaranteed benefits, the Company requires your policy value to be allocated into designated investment options. One or more of the designated investment options may include a volatility control strategy. Volatility control strategies, in periods of high market volatility, could limit your participation in market gains; this may conflict with your investment objectives by limiting your ability to maximize potential growth of your policy value and, in turn, the value of any guaranteed benefit that is tied to investment performance. Volatility control strategies are intended to help limit overall volatility and reduce the effects of significant market downturns during periods of high market volatility, providing policy owners with the opportunity for smoother performance and better risk adjusted returns. Volatility control (and similar terms) can encompass a variety of investment strategies of different types and degrees; therefore, you should read the applicable annuity and underlying fund portfolio prospectuses carefully to understand how these investment strategies may affect your policy value and rider benefits. The Company’s requirement to invest in accordance with designated investment options, which may include volatility control, may reduce our costs and risks associated with this rider. You pay an additional fee for the rider benefits which, in part, pay for protecting the rider benefit base from investment losses. Since the rider benefit base does not decrease as a result of investment losses, volatility control strategies might not provide meaningful additional benefit to you. You should carefully evaluate with your financial advisor whether to invest in funds with volatility control strategies, taking into consideration the potential positive or negative impact that such strategy may have on your investment objectives, your policy value and the benefits under the Retirement Income Choice® 1.6 Rider. If you determine that funds with volatility control strategies are not consistent with your investment objectives, there continues to be other designated investment options available under the Retirement Income Choice® 1.6 Rider that do not invest in funds that utilize volatility control strategies.
You may elect to purchase the optional Retirement Income Choice® 1.6 Rider which, provides you with: (1) a guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit; and (2) an opportunity for increases in the rider withdrawal amount. This rider is available during the accumulation phase, and requires that you allocate 100% of your policy value in certain designated investment options. If you elect the Retirement Income Choice® 1.6 rider you cannot elect another GLWB. The tax rules for qualified policies may limit the value of
51

this rider. Please consult a qualified tax adviser before electing the Retirement Income Choice® 1.6 rider for a qualified policy. Please Note: This rider may not be issued or added to Inherited IRAs (sometimes also referred to as beneficiary IRAs) or a nonqualified annuity under which death benefits are being distributed under a stretch withdrawal option. The guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit is based on our claims-paying ability.
Retirement Income Choice® 1.6 Base Benefit
Under this benefit, you can receive up to the rider withdrawal amount each rider year (first as withdrawals from your policy value and, if necessary because your policy value goes to zero by other than an excess withdrawal, as payments from us), starting with the rider year immediately following the annuitant’s (or the annuitant's spouse if younger and the joint life option is elected) 59th birthday and lasting until the annuitant’s (or the annuitant's spouse if younger and the joint life option is elected) death (unless your withdrawal base is reduced to zero because of an “excess withdrawal”; see Withdrawal Base Adjustments and Rider Death Benefit Adjustments, below). A rider year begins on the rider date (the date the rider becomes effective) and thereafter on each anniversary of that date.
Of course you can always withdraw an amount up to your cash value pursuant to your rights under the policy at your discretion. See Appendix Hypothetical Adjusted Partial Surrenders Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit Riders” for examples showing the effect of hypothetical withdrawals in more detail.
Please note:
You will begin paying the rider charge as of the date the rider takes effect, even if you do not begin taking withdrawals for many years, or ever. We will not refund the charges you have paid under the rider if you never choose to take withdrawals and/or if you never receive any payments under the rider.
We have designed this rider to allow for withdrawals from your policy value each rider year that are less than or equal to the rider withdrawal amount. You should not purchase this rider if you plan to take withdrawals in excess of the rider withdrawal amount, because such excess withdrawals may significantly reduce or eliminate the value of the guarantees provided by the rider.
The longer you wait to start making withdrawals under the benefit, the less time you have to benefit from the guarantee because of decreasing life expectancy as you age. On the other hand, the longer you wait to begin making withdrawals, the higher your withdrawal percentage may be, the higher the withdrawal base due to growth may be, and the more opportunities you will have to lock in a higher withdrawal base. You should carefully consider when to begin making withdrawals. There is a risk that you will not begin making withdrawals at the most financially beneficial time for you.
Because the guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit under this rider is accessed through regular withdrawals that do not exceed the rider withdrawal amount, the rider may not be appropriate for you if you do not foresee a need for liquidity and your primary objective is to take maximum advantage of the tax deferral aspect of the policy.
All policy value must be allocated to a limited number of specified investment options. You should consult with your registered representative to assist you in determining whether these investment options are suited for your financial needs and risk tolerance.
Any amount of withdrawals in any rider year that are in excess of the rider withdrawal amount are excess withdrawals.
An excess withdrawal may impact the withdrawal base, and rider death benefit (if applicable) on a greater than dollar-for-dollar basis and may eliminate the benefit.
Any withdrawal will reduce your rider death benefit (if applicable).
Upon the death of the annuitant (or the death of the surviving spouse if the joint option is elected and the surviving spouse was eligible to and elected to continue the policy), the Retirement Income Choice® 1.6 rider terminates and all benefits thereunder cease.
Like all withdrawals, withdrawals while this rider is in effect also:
reduce your policy value;
reduce your base policy death benefit and other benefits;
may be subject to surrender charges or excess interest adjustments;
may be subject to income taxes and federal tax penalties; and
may be limited or restricted under certain qualified policies.
Rider Withdrawal Amount. You can withdraw up to the rider withdrawal amount in any rider year (after age 59) from your policy value without causing an excess withdrawal. See Withdrawal Base Adjustments and Rider Death Benefit Adjustments below.
52

The rider withdrawal amount is zero if the annuitant (or the annuitant's spouse if younger and the joint life option is elected) is not 59 years old on the rider date and remains zero until the first day of the rider year after the annuitant’s (or the annuitant's spouse if younger and the joint life option is elected) 59th birthday. If the annuitant (or the annuitant's spouse if younger and the joint life option is elected) is at least 59 years old on the rider date, then the rider withdrawal amount is equal to the withdrawal base multiplied by the withdrawal percentage (see below).
For qualified policies: If the plan participant (generally the annuitant) is at least 70½ years old, the rider withdrawal amount for that rider year (and each subsequent rider year) is equal to the greater of:
the rider withdrawal amount described above; or
an amount equal to any minimum required distribution amount (for the tax year on that rider anniversary) calculated using only: (1) the living annuitant’s age, (2) the IRS Uniform Lifetime table or, if applicable, the Joint Life and Survivor Expectancy table, (3) the policy value of the base policy, (prior to the first rider anniversary we use the policy value on the rider date and thereafter we use the policy value on the date prescribed by the IRS) and (4) amounts from the current calendar year (no carry-over from past years).
Only amounts calculated as set forth above can be used as the rider withdrawal amount.
If your policy value reaches zero:
due to a non-excess withdrawal, then you cannot make premium payments and all other policy features, benefits, and guarantees (except those provided by this rider) are terminated. If your policy value reaches zero by other than an excess withdrawal, we will, unless instructed otherwise, disburse any remaining minimum required distribution amount for the current rider year and set up monthly payments beginning in the next rider year according to your guarantees.
due to an excess withdrawal, then the rider terminates (as does the policy).
Please note:
If the rider is added prior to the annuitant’s (or the annuitant's spouse if younger and the joint life option is elected) 59th birthday, the rider withdrawal amount will be zero until the beginning of the rider year after the annuitant’s (or the annuitant’s spouse if younger and the joint life option is elected) 59th birthday, however, you will still be charged a rider fee prior to this time.
You cannot carry over any portion of your rider withdrawal amount that is not withdrawn during a rider year for withdrawal in a future rider year. This means that if you do not take the entire rider withdrawal amount during a rider year, you cannot take more than the rider withdrawal amount in the next rider year and maintain the rider's guarantees.
Excess withdrawals may cause you to lose the benefit of the rider.
All policy value must be allocated to a limited number of specified funds. (See Designated Investment Options below.)
Withdrawal Percentage. We use the withdrawal percentage to calculate the rider withdrawal amount. The withdrawal percentage is determined by the annuitant’s age (or the annuitant's spouse's age if younger and the joint life option is elected) at the time of the first withdrawal taken on or after the rider anniversary immediately following the annuitant’s (or the annuitant's spouse's if younger and the joint life option is elected) 59th birthday. The withdrawal percentage is as follows:
Age at time of
first withdrawal
  Single Life Option
Riders Issued
on or after
May 1, 2014
  Joint Life Option
Riders Issued
on or after
May 1, 2014
  Single Life Option
Riders Issued
Prior to
May 1, 2014
  Joint Life Option
Riders Issued
Prior to
May 1, 2014
0-58   0.00%   0.00%   0.00%   0.00%
59-64   4.00%   3.75% *   4.00%   3.50%
65-79   5.00%   4.75% *   5.00%   4.50%
≥ 80   6.00%   5.75% *   6.00%   5.50%
* For policies issued in New York, these withdrawal percentages will be 0.25% lower.
Please note, once established, the withdrawal percentage will not generally increase even though the annuitant’s age increases except in certain instances involving automatic step-ups.
53

Withdrawal Base. We use the withdrawal base to calculate the rider withdrawal amount. The withdrawal base on the rider date is the policy value  (if X-Share is elected, less any premium enhancements if the rider is added in the first policy year). During any rider year, the withdrawal base is equal to the withdrawal base on the rider date or most recent rider anniversary, plus subsequent premium payments, less subsequent withdrawal base adjustments due to excess withdrawals.
Please note:
We determine the withdrawal base solely to calculate the rider withdrawal amount and rider fee.
Your withdrawal base is not a cash value, a surrender value, or a death benefit. It is not available for withdrawal, it is not a minimum return for any subaccount, and it is not a guarantee of policy value.
Because the withdrawal base is generally equal to the policy value on the rider date, the rider withdrawal amount may be lower if you delay electing the rider and the policy value decreases before you elect the rider.
On each rider anniversary, the withdrawal base will equal the greatest of:
Current withdrawal base;
The withdrawal base immediately before the rider anniversary, increased by the growth credit, if any (see Growth below);
The policy value on any monthiversarySM (the same day of the month as of the rider date, or the next market day if our Administrative Office or the New York Stock Exchange are closed) within the current rider year, including the current rider anniversary (see Automatic Step-Up below).
Growth. On each of the first ten rider anniversaries, we will add a growth credit to your withdrawal base if no withdrawal occurred during the preceding rider year. The growth percentage is as follows:
Riders Issued
On or after May 1, 2014
  Riders Issued
Prior to May 1, 2014
5.50% *   5.00%
* For policies issued in New York with the Joint Life Option, the growth percentage will be 0.50% lower.
The growth credit is equal to the growth percentage multiplied by the withdrawal base immediately before the rider anniversary.
Please note: Because a withdrawal will eliminate the potential application of the growth credit for that rider year, you should consider your need or possible need to take withdrawals within the first 10 rider years in deciding whether to purchase the rider.
Automatic Step-Up. On each rider anniversary, we will automatically step-up the withdrawal base to an amount equal to the greater of (1) the highest policy value on any monthiversarySM during the preceding rider year, if no excess withdrawal occurred, or (2) the policy value on the rider anniversary. If neither value is greater than the current withdrawal base or the withdrawal base increased by any growth credit, no automatic step-up will occur. The withdrawal percentage (as indicated in the withdrawal percentage table) will also increase if you have crossed into another age band prior to the automatic step-up. Please note, the increase is part of the automatic step-up and if no automatic step-up occurs then there will be no withdrawal percentage increase.
Beginning on the fifth rider anniversary, the rider fee percentage may increase (or decrease) at the time of any automatic step-up. The rider fee percentage will not exceed the maximum rider fee percentage in effect when you purchased the rider.
Automatic Step-Up Opt Out. Each time an automatic step-up results in a rider fee percentage increase, you have the option to reject the automatic step-up and reinstate the withdrawal base, withdrawal percentage, and rider fee percentage to their respective amounts immediately before the automatic step-up, provided that you do so within 30 days after the rider anniversary on which the automatic step-up occurred. Changes as a result of the automatic step-up feature will be reversed. We must receive your rejection (each time you elect to opt out), in good order, at our Administrative Office within the same 30 day period after the rider anniversary on which the automatic step-up occurred. Opting out of one step-up does not operate as an opt-out of any future step-ups.
Withdrawal Base Adjustments. Cumulative gross partial withdrawals up to the rider withdrawal amount in any rider year will not reduce the withdrawal base. Any amount of gross partial withdrawals in excess of the rider withdrawal amount in any rider year (“excess withdrawals”) will reduce the withdrawal base, however, by the greater of the dollar amount of the excess withdrawal (if the policy value is greater than the withdrawal base) or a pro rata amount (in proportion to the reduction in the policy value when the policy value is less than the withdrawal base), possibly to zero. If an excess withdrawal reduces the policy value to zero, this rider will terminate. Withdrawal base adjustments occur immediately following excess withdrawals. See “Appendix - Hypothetical Adjusted Partial Surrenders - Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit Riders” for examples showing the effect of hypothetical withdrawals in more detail, including an excess withdrawal that reduces the withdrawal base by a pro rata amount. The effect of an excess withdrawal is magnified if the policy value is less than the withdrawal base. See the “Appendix - Hypothetical Adjusted Partial Surrenders - Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit Riders” for examples showing the effect of hypothetical excess withdrawals in more detail.
54

Please Note: We do not monitor for, or notify you of, excess withdrawals. If you take regular or scheduled withdrawals please pay particular attention to any excess withdrawal because your otherwise regular or scheduled non-excess withdrawals may thereafter all be excess withdrawals that reduce or eliminate your benefit on an accelerated basis.
Example. Assume you are the owner and annuitant and you make a single premium payment of $100,000 when you are 66 years old. Further assume that you do not make any withdrawals or subsequent premium payments, no automatic step-ups occurred, but that after five years your policy value has declined to $90,000 solely because of negative investment performance. With an assumed annual growth rate percentage of 5.0%, after 5 years the withdrawal base is equal to $127,628 ($100,000 x 1.055). You could receive up to $6,381 which is the assumed withdrawal percentage of 5.0% for the single life option multiplied by the withdrawal base of $127,628, each rider year for the rest of your life (assuming that you take your first withdrawal when you are age 71, that you do not withdraw more than the rider withdrawal amount in any one year and there are no future automatic step-ups.)
Example continued. Assume the same facts as above, but you withdraw $10,000 when you are 71 years old. That excess withdrawal decreases your future rider withdrawal amount to $6,501.
See the “Appendix - Hypothetical Adjusted Partial Surrenders - Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit Riders” for examples showing the effect of hypothetical withdrawals in more detail.
Designated Investment Options. If you elect this rider, you must designate 100% of your policy value into one or more of the designated investment options available under the respective designated allocation groups that have been approved for the Retirement Income Choice® 1.6 Rider. See “Appendix - Designated Investment Options” for a complete listing of available subaccounts. Requiring that you designate 100% of your policy value to the designated investment options, some of which employ strategies that are intended to reduce the risk of loss and/or manage volatility, may reduce investment returns and may reduce the likelihood that we will be required to use our own assets to pay amounts due under this benefit.
Transfers between the designated investment options are allowed as permitted under the policy; however, you cannot transfer any amount (or allocate premium payments) to any non-designated investment option. Within 30 days following the fifth rider anniversary (and each successive fifth rider anniversary) you can terminate this rider. Starting the next market day, you may transfer (or allocate premium payments) to a non-designated investment option. Terminating the rider will result in losing all your benefits under the rider.
Please note:
The earliest you can transfer (or allocate premium payments) to a non-designated investment option is the first market day after the fifth rider anniversary. You will be required to terminate the rider first. If you terminate the rider you will lose all of its benefits.
We can change a designated allocation group or eliminate a designated investment option at any time. If this occurs, then an owner will be required to reallocate values in the affected designated investment options to other designated investment options that meet the allocation requirements.
Manual Resets. You can effectively “reset” the withdrawal base to the policy value using a manual process under which your current rider is terminated and a new rider is issued. You can only elect a reset during the 30 day periods following each successive fifth rider anniversary and if all other rider issue requirements are met. When the new rider is issued, the rider withdrawal amount and, if applicable, the rider death benefit will be recalculated. Your new rider will have a new rider date, new rider fee percentage (which may be higher than your current rider fee percentage), and its own terms and benefits (which may not be as advantageous as the current rider). The new rider date will be the date we receive all necessary information in good order. Please note that this “reset” procedure may be referred to as a “manual upgrade” in your policy rider and other materials.
Please note:
Manual resets, unlike automatic step-ups, occur only if you so elect during the 30 day window following each successive fifth rider anniversary.
Manual resets result in the purchase of a new rider whose terms may be more or less favorable than the current rider whereas automatic step-ups do not require termination of the existing rider and repurchase of a new rider (although fees may increase at the time of an automatic step-up).
Owners may decide to terminate an existing rider if it no longer meets their needs and then elect a new available rider that does.
Retirement Income Choice® 1.6 Additional Options
You may elect the following options with this rider (the options are not mutually exclusive):
Death Benefit;
55

Joint Life; and
Income EnhancementSM.
There is an additional fee if you elect the Death Benefit and/or the Income EnhancementSM Benefit option(s) under the rider. If you elect the Joint Life option, then the withdrawal percentage (used to calculate the rider withdrawal amount) is lower. Furthermore, if you elect the Joint Life option in combination with the Death Benefit and/or the Income EnhancementSM Benefit option(s), then the fee for each of those additional options will be different than under the Single Life option. See Retirement Income Choice® 1.6 Rider Fees. There may be different issue ages depending upon which options you elect.
Death Benefit. If you elect this rider, you can also elect to add an additional amount to the death benefit payable under the base policy, upon the death of the annuitant (or if the joint life option is selected, the death of the annuitant’s spouse if later). The additional amount will be equal to the excess, if any, of the rider death benefit over the greater of any optional guaranteed minimum death benefit or the base policy death benefit. The additional amount can be zero. See DEATH BENEFIT.
Rider Death Benefit. The rider death benefit on the rider date is the policy value  (if X-Share is elected, less any premium enhancements if the rider is added in the first policy year). After the rider date, the rider death benefit is equal to:
the rider death benefit on the rider date; plus
subsequent premium payments; less
adjustments for withdrawals (as described under Rider Death Benefit Adjustments, below).
Rider Death Benefit Adjustments. Gross partial withdrawals up to the rider withdrawal amount in a rider year will reduce the rider death benefit on a dollar-for-dollar basis. Gross partial withdrawals in excess of the rider withdrawal amount in a rider year will reduce the rider death benefit by the greater of the dollar amount of the excess withdrawal or a pro rata amount (in proportion to the reduction in policy value), and possibly to zero. See “Appendix - Hypothetical Adjusted Partial Surrenders - Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit Riders” for examples showing the effect of hypothetical withdrawals in more detail, including an excess withdrawal that results in pro rata adjustments. Rider death benefit adjustments occur immediately following all withdrawals.
Please note:
No additional death benefit is payable if the base policy death benefit (including the guaranteed minimum death benefit) exceeds the rider death benefit. The greater the death benefit payable under the guaranteed minimum death benefit selected, the more likely it is that an additional amount will not be payable under the rider death benefit option.
Excess withdrawals may eliminate the additional death benefit available with this rider. You will continue to pay the fee for this option, even if the additional death benefit available under the rider is $0.
Manual resets to the withdrawal base will result in a recalculation of the rider death benefit. However, automatic step-ups will not reset the rider death benefit.
If an owner who is not the annuitant dies and the surviving spouse is eligible to and elects to continue the policy, then no additional amount is payable. If the policy is not continued, then the surviving owner (who is also the sole beneficiary) may elect to receive lifetime annuity payments equal to the rider withdrawal amount divided by the number of payments each year instead of receiving the policy’s cash value. See TAX INFORMATION - Tax Status of a Nonqualified Policy - Distribution Requirements. (The payment of a death benefit under the policy is triggered by the death of the annuitant.)
The additional death benefit adjustment differs from the adjusted partial surrender amount for the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefits described in DEATH BENEFIT - Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefits. Accordingly, withdrawals may effect the additional death benefit differently than the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefits.
The additional death benefit payment option may be referred to as “rider death benefit” on your policy statement and other documents.
Joint Life Benefit. If you elect this rider, then you can also elect to postpone termination of the rider until the later of the annuitant or annuitant’s spouse’s death (only if the annuitant’s spouse is eligible to and elects to continue the policy, see TAX INFORMATION – Tax Status of a Nonqualified Policy Distribution Requirements). If you elect the Joint Life option, then the withdrawal percentage (used to calculate the rider withdrawal amount) is lower.
Please note:
The withdrawal percentage for each “age at the time of first withdrawal” is lower if you elect this option.
The annuitant's spouse (or in certain instances a non-natural entity acting for the benefit of the annuitant's spouse) must be either a joint owner along with the annuitant or the sole primary beneficiary (and there is no joint owner), if you elect this option. (Please see Spousal Continuation section for more detail regarding annuitant's spouse).
56

A former spouse of the annuitant cannot continue to keep the policy in force if no longer married to the annuitant at the time of the annuitant's death. In that event, the rider will terminate and no additional withdrawals under the rider will be permitted.
The annuitant’s spouse for purposes of this rider cannot be changed to a new spouse.
The rider withdrawal percentage is based on the age of the younger of the annuitant and annuitant’s spouse, if you elect this option.
The rider death benefit is not payable until the death of the surviving spouse, if you elect this option.
You cannot elect a manual reset if the annuitant or annuitant’s spouse is 86 or older (lower if required by state law).
This option may not be permitted in the case of certain non-natural owners.
Income EnhancementSM Option. If you elect this rider, you can also elect to have your withdrawal percentage increase to 150% of the non-income enhanced withdrawal percentage if either the annuitant (or the annuitant’s spouse if the joint life option is elected) is confined, due to a medical necessity in a hospital or nursing facility due to physical or cognitive ailments. Benefits from this option are not available unless the rider has been in effect for 12 months (the “waiting period”) and confinement must meet the elimination period of 180 days within the last 365 days. The elimination period and waiting period can, but do not need to, run concurrently.
Please note:
You cannot elect the Income EnhancementSM Option if the qualifying person or persons is/are already admitted to a hospital or already reside in a nursing facility.
Confinement must be prescribed by a physician based on the individual's inability to sustain themselves outside of a hospital or nursing facility due to physical or cognitive ailments.
The increase to the withdrawal percentage stops when the qualifying person or persons is/are no longer confined as described above.
The hospital and/or nursing facility must meet the criteria listed below to qualify for the benefit.
A Qualifying Hospital must meet the following criteria:
It is operated pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is located;
It is operated primarily for the care and treatment of sick and injured persons on an inpatient basis;
It provides 24-hour nursing service by or under the supervision of registered graduate professional nurses;
It is supervised by a staff of one or more licensed physicians; and
It has medical, surgical and diagnostic facilities or access to such facilities.
A Qualifying Nursing Facility must meet the following criteria:
It is operated pursuant to the laws and regulations of the state in which it is located as a nursing facility or Alzheimer's disease facility;
It provides care performed or supervised by a registered graduate nurse;
It provides room and board accommodations;
Will provide 24-hour nursing services, 7 days a week by an on-site Registered Nurse and related services on a continuing inpatient basis;
It has a planned program of policies and procedures developed with the advice of, and periodically reviewed by, at least one physician; and
It maintains a clinical record of each patient.
A Qualifying Nursing Facility does not include:
Assisted living facilities or residential care facilities;
A place primarily for treatment of mental or nervous disorders, drug addiction or alcoholism;
A home for the aged, a rest home, community living center or a place that provides domestic, resident, retirement or educational care;
Personal care homes, personal care boarding homes, residential or domiciliary care homes;
A rehabilitation hospital or basic care facilities;
Adult foster care facilities, congregate care facilities, family and group living assisted living facilities; or
Other facilities similar to those described above.
We will require confirmation of confinement in a qualifying hospital or a qualifying nursing facility while benefit payouts are being received. Confirmation of that confinement will be attained and approved by completing our “Income EnhancementSM Election and Proof of Confinement Questionnaire” form. This form requires additional proof of confinement which may be a physician’s statement, a statement from a hospital or nursing facility administrator, or any other information satisfactory to us which may include information from third party or company interviews and/or visits of the facility. If it is determined that the qualifying individual was
57

not confined in an eligible facility as defined above and has received payments under the Income EnhancementSM Option, those payments could be considered an excess withdrawal and have a negative effect on the rider values. If confinement ceases, you may re-qualify by satisfying another 180-day elimination period requirement.
Retirement Income Choice® 1.6 Fees
Retirement Income Choice® 1.6 Base Rider Fee. The base rider fee is calculated on the rider date and at the beginning of each rider quarter. The base rider fee will be adjusted for any premium additions, excess withdrawals, or transfers between designated investment groups. It will be deducted automatically from your policy value at the end of each rider quarter.
On an annual basis, in general terms, the base rider fee is the applicable rider fee percentage times the withdrawal base.
The base quarterly fee is calculated by multiplying (A) by (B) divided by (C) multiplied by (D), where:
(A) is the withdrawal base;
(B) is the sum of each designated investment group's rider fee percentage multiplied by the applicable designated investment group's value;
(C) is the total policy value; and
(D) is the number of (remaining) days in the rider quarter divided by the total number of days in the applicable rider year.
The following example uses these assumed values: Initial Premium = $100,000; Fund Allocations such that Group A = $50,000, Group B = $30,000, and Group C = $20,000; Withdrawal Base = $100,000; Policy Value = $100,000; Investment Group fee percentages of Group A = 1.45%, Group B = 1.10% and Group C = 0.70%; and 91 total days in the rider quarter.
Example 1: Calculation at rider issue for the first quarter fee. The rider fee is:
= 100,000 * [(50,000*0.0145) + (30,000*0.0110) + (20,000*0.0070)] / 100,000 * (91/365)
= 100,000 * (725 + 330 + 140) / 100,000 * (91/365)
= 100,000 * 1,195/100,000 * (91/365)
= 1,195 * (91/365)
= $297.93
We will assess a prorated rider fee upon full surrender of the policy or other termination of the rider for the period beginning on the first day of the most recent rider quarter and ending on the date of termination.
Beginning on the fifth rider anniversary, the rider fee percentage may increase (or decrease) at the time of an automatic step-up. Each time an automatic step-up will result in a rider fee percentage increase, you will have the option to reject the automatic step-up and reinstate the withdrawal base and rider fee percentage to their respective amounts immediately before the automatic step-up (adjusted for any subsequent premium payments or withdrawals), provided that you do so within 30 calendar days after the rider anniversary on which the automatic step-up occurred. We must receive your rejection, in good order, at our Administrative Office within the 30 day period after the rider anniversary on which the automatic step-up occurred.
Please note regarding the base rider fee:
Because the base rider fee is a percentage of the withdrawal base, it could be a much higher percentage of your policy value, particularly in the event that your policy value decreases significantly.
Because the base rider fee is a percentage of the withdrawal base, the amount of the base rider fee we deduct will increase if the withdrawal base increases (although the percentage(s) may remain the same).
If you make a transfer from one designated allocation group to another designated allocation group that has a higher rider fee percentage, then the resulting rider fee will be higher.
Base Rider Fee Adjustment for Premium Payments and Excess Withdrawals. A rider fee adjustment will be calculated for subsequent premium payments and excess withdrawals because these events will change the withdrawal base. The rider fee adjustment may be positive or negative and will be added to or subtracted from the rider fee to be collected.
The following example uses these assumed values: All initial values as in Example 1; Subsequent Premium = $10,000, allocated such that Group A = $5,000, Group B = $3,000, and Group C = $2,000; and 30 remaining days in the rider quarter.
Example 2: Calculation of the first quarter rider fee adjustment for a subsequent premium. The fee adjustment is:
= 10,000 * [(5,000*0.0145) + (3,000*0.0110) + (2,000*0.0070)] / 10,000 * (30/365)
= 10,000 * (72.50 + 33 + 14) / 10,000 * (30/365)
= 10,000 * 119.50/10,000 * (30/365)
= 119.50 * (30/365)
= $9.82
58

Total fee assessed at end of first rider quarter (assuming no further fee adjustments):
= 297.93 + 9.82
= $307.75
We will also deduct all rider fees pro rata upon full surrender of the policy or other termination of the rider.
Base Rider Fee Adjustment for Transfers. For transfers that you make between different designated investment options in different designated allocation groups on other than the first market day of a rider quarter, a rider fee adjustment will be applied. This adjustment is necessary because of differences in the rider fee percentages. The adjustment in the rider fee percentage will ensure that you are charged the correct overall rider fee for that quarter. The rider fee adjustment may be positive or negative and will be added to or subtracted from the rider fee to be collected.
The following example uses these assumed values: All initial values as in Example 1, as well as a subsequent premium payment as in Example 2; Withdrawal Base = $110,000; Policy Value = $90,000; Fund Transfer from Group A = $5,000, into Group B = $3,000, and into Group C = $2,000; and 15 remaining days in the rider quarter.
Example 3: Calculation of the first quarter rider fee adjustment for a fund transfer. The fee adjustment is:
= 110,000 * [(-5,000*0.0145) + (3,000*0.0110) + (2,000*0.0070)] / 90,000 * (15/365)
= 110,000 * (-72.50 + 33 + 14) / 90,000 * (15/365)
= 110,000 * -25.50/90,000 * (15/365)
= -31.17 * (15/365)
= $-1.28
Total fee assessed at end of the first rider quarter (assuming no further rider fee adjustments):
= 307.75 - 1.28
= $306.47
Additional Option Fees. If you elect options with this rider, then you will be charged a fee for each option you elect that is in addition to the rider fee for the base benefit. Each additional fee is charged quarterly before annuitization and is a percentage of the withdrawal base on each rider anniversary.
We will also deduct all rider fees, including additional option fees, pro rata upon surrender of the policy or other termination of the rider.
Retirement Income Choice® 1.6 Rider Issue Requirements
We will not issue the Retirement Income Choice® 1.6 rider if:
the annuitant is 86 or older (lower if required by state law);
the annuitant is not an owner (except in the case of non-natural owners);
there are more than two owners; and
the joint life option is elected, and the annuitant’s spouse is 86 or older (lower if required by state law) and (1) is not a joint owner along with the annuitant or (2) is not the sole primary beneficiary (and there is no joint owner).
The use of joint life option may not be permitted in the case of certain non-natural owners.
Termination
The Retirement Income Choice® 1.6 rider and any additional options will terminate upon the earliest of the following:
the date we receive written notice from you requesting termination of the rider if such notice is received before midnight of the 30th calendar day after you receive the rider;
the date we receive written notice from you requesting termination or manual reset of the rider if such notice is received by us during the 30 days following the fifth rider anniversary or every fifth rider anniversary thereafter;
the death of the annuitant (or if the joint life option was elected, the death of the annuitant’s spouse if that spouse was eligible to and elected to continue the policy as the surviving spouse);
annuitization (however, if you have reached your maximum annuity commencement date you may choose an annuitization option which guarantees you lifetime payments in an amount equal to your rider withdrawal amount);
the date the policy to which this rider is attached is assigned or if the owner is changed without our approval;
the date an excess withdrawal reduces your policy value to zero; or
termination of your policy.
59

Please note: This rider terminates upon annuitization and there is a maximum annuity commencement date at which time your policy will be annuitized according to its terms. However, if you have reached your maximum annuity commencement date, we will allow you to annuitize your policy and elect to receive lifetime annuity payments which are at least equal to your rider withdrawal amount (this option also guarantees that if the annuitant dies before the sum of all annuity payments equals the policy value, and rider benefit if elected, on the maximum annuity commencement date, the annuitant's beneficiary will receive a final payment equal to the difference). Please contact us for more information concerning your options.
The Retirement Income Choice® 1.6 rider and additional options may vary for certain policies and may not be available for all policies, in all states, at all times or through all financial intermediaries. We may discontinue offering this benefit at any time. In some cases, a benefit not available through a financial intermediary may be obtained by contacting us directly. For more information on the options for electing a benefit, please contact your financial intermediary or our Administrative Office.

Ownership
You, as owner of the policy, exercise all rights under the policy. You can generally change the owner at any time by notifying us in writing at our Administrative Office. There may be limitations on your ability to change the ownership of a qualified policy. An ownership change may be a taxable event.
Beneficiary
The beneficiary designation will remain in effect until changed. The owner may change the designated beneficiary by sending us written notice. The beneficiary's consent to such change is not required unless the beneficiary was irrevocably designated or law requires consent. (If an irrevocable beneficiary dies, the owner may then designate a new beneficiary.) We will not be liable for any payment made before the written notice is received in our Administrative Office. If more than one beneficiary is designated, and the owner fails to specify their interests, they will share equally. If, upon the death of the annuitant, there is a surviving owner(s), then the surviving owner(s) automatically takes the place of any beneficiary designation.
Right to Cancel Period
You may return your policy for a refund, but only if you return it within a prescribed period, which is generally 10 days after you receive the policy (for replacements the right to cancel period is generally 30 days), or whatever longer time may be required by state law. The amount of the refund will generally be the premiums paid plus or minus accumulated gains or losses in the separate account. You bear the risk of any decline in policy value during the right to cancel period. However, if state law requires, we will refund your original premium payment(s). We will pay the refund within seven days after we receive in good order within the applicable period at our Administrative Office, written notice of cancellation and the returned policy. The policy will then be deemed void. If you selected the X-Share, the amount of the premium enhancement may be recaptured.
Assignment
You can also generally assign the policy any time during your lifetime. We will not be bound by the assignment until we receive written notice of the assignment in good order at our Administrative Office and approve it. We reserve the right, except to the extent prohibited by applicable laws, regulations, or actions of the State insurance commissioner, to require that an assignment will be effective only upon acceptance by us, and to refuse assignments or transfers at any time on a non-discriminatory basis. We will not be liable for any payment or other action we take in accordance with the policy before we approve the assignment. There may be limitations on your ability to assign a qualified policy. An assignment may have tax consequences.
Termination for Low Value
If a partial surrender or fee (including an optional rider fee, administrative fee, or owner transaction fee) reduces your cash value below the minimum specified in your policy, we reserve the right to terminate your policy and send you a full distribution of your remaining cash value. All benefits associated with your annuity policy will be terminated. Federal law may impose restrictions on our right to terminate certain qualified policies. We do not currently anticipate exercising this right if you have certain optional benefits, however, we reserve the right to do so. For all other policies, including policies with certain other optional benefits, we intend to exercise this termination provision.
Sending Forms and Transaction Requests in Good Order
We cannot process your requests for transactions relating to the policy until they are received in good order. “Good order” means the actual receipt of the instructions relating to the requested transaction in writing (or, when appropriate, by telephone or electronically), along with all forms, information and supporting legal documentation necessary to effect the transaction. This information and documentation generally includes, to the extent applicable to the transaction: your completed application; the policy number; the transaction amount (in dollars or percentage terms); the names and allocations to and/or from the Subaccounts affected by the requested transaction; the signatures of all owners (exactly as registered on the Policy) if necessary; Social Security Number or Taxpayer I.D.; and any other information or supporting documentation that we may require, including any spousal or joint owner's consents. With respect to purchase requests, “good order” also generally includes receipt of sufficient funds to effect the purchase. We may, in our sole discretion, determine whether any particular transaction request is in good order, and we reserve the right to change or waive any good order requirements at any time.
61

“Received” or receipt in good order generally means that everything necessary must be received by us, at our Administrative Office specified in the Glossary of Terms. We reserve the right to reject electronic transactions that do not meet our requirements.
Regulatory Modifications to Policy
We reserve the right to amend the policy or any riders attached thereto as necessary to comply with specific direction provided by state or federal regulators, through change of law, rule, regulation, bulletin, regulatory directives or agreements.
Certain Offers
From time to time, we have (and we may again) offered you some form of payment or incentive in return for terminating or modifying certain guaranteed benefits.
When we make an offer, we may vary the offer amount, up or down, among the same group of policy owners based on certain criteria such as account value, the difference between account value and any applicable benefit base, investment allocations and the amount and type of withdrawals taken. For example, for guaranteed benefits that have benefit bases that can be reduced on either a pro rata or dollar-for-dollar basis depending on the amount of withdrawals taken, we may consider whether you have taken any withdrawal that has caused a pro rata reduction in your benefit base, as opposed to a dollar-for-dollar reduction. Also, we may increase or decrease offer amounts from offer to offer. In other words, we may make an offer to a group of policy owners based on an offer amount, and, in the future, make another offer based on a higher or lower offer amount to the remaining policy owners in the same group.
If you accept an offer that requires you to terminate a guaranteed benefit and you retain your policy, we will no longer charge you for it, and you will not be eligible for any future offers related to that type of guaranteed benefit, even if such future offer would have included a greater offer amount or different payment or incentive.
Mixed and Shared Funding
The underlying fund portfolios may serve as investment vehicles for variable life insurance policies, variable annuity policies and retirement plans (“mixed funding”) and shares of the underlying fund portfolios also may be sold to separate accounts of other insurance companies (“shared funding”). While we currently do not foresee any disadvantages to owners and participants arising from either mixed or shared funding, it is possible that the interests of owners of various policies and/or participants in various plans for which the underlying fund portfolios serve as investments might at some time be in conflict. We and each underlying fund portfolio’s Board of Directors intend to monitor events in order to identify any material conflicts and to determine what action, if any, to take. Such action could include the sale of underlying fund portfolio shares by one or more of the separate accounts, which could have adverse consequences. Such action could also include a decision that separate funds should be established for variable life and variable annuity separate accounts. In such an event, we would bear the attendant expenses, but owners and plan participants would no longer have the economies of scale resulting from a larger combined fund. Please read the prospectuses for the underlying fund portfolios, which discuss the underlying fund portfolios’ risks regarding mixed and shared funding, as applicable.
Exchanges and/or Reinstatements
You can generally exchange a nonqualified annuity policy for another in a “tax-free exchange” under Section 1035 of the Internal Revenue Code or transfer qualified policies directly to another life insurance company as a “trustee-to-trustee transfer”. Before making an exchange or transfer, you should compare both annuities carefully. Remember that if you exchange or transfer another annuity for the one described in this prospectus, then you may pay a surrender charge on the other annuity, and there may be a new surrender charge period under this annuity and other charges may be higher (or lower) and the benefits under this annuity may be different. You should not exchange or transfer another annuity for this one unless you determine, after knowing all the facts, that the exchange or transfer is in your best interest and not just better for the person trying to sell you this policy (that person will generally earn a commission if you buy this policy through an exchange, transfer or otherwise).
You may ask us to reinstate your policy after such an exchange, transfer or full or partial surrender and in certain limited circumstances we will allow you to do so by returning the same total dollar amount of funds distributed to the applicable investment options. The dollar amount will be used to purchase new accumulation units at the then current price. Because of changes in market value, your new accumulation units may be worth more or less than the units you previously owned. Generally, unless you return the original company check, your annuity policy is nonqualified and a portion of the prior withdrawal was taxable, we are required to report the taxable amount from the distribution to the IRS even though the funds have been reinstated. The cost basis will be adjusted accordingly. The taxable amount will be reported on Form 1099-R which you will receive in January of the year following the distribution. We recommend that you consult a tax professional to explain the possible tax consequences of reinstatements.
62

Voting Rights
To the extent required by law, we will vote all shares of the underlying fund portfolios held in the separate account in accordance with instructions we receive from you and/or other individuals that have voting interests in the portfolios. We will send you and/or other individuals requests for instructions on how to vote those shares. When we receive those instructions, we will vote all of the shares in proportion to those instructions. Accordingly, it is possible for a small number of owners (assuming there is a quorum) to determine the outcome of a vote, especially if they have large policy values. If, however, we determine that we are permitted to vote the shares in our own right, we may do so.
Each person having a voting interest will receive proxy material, reports, and other materials relating to the appropriate portfolio.
Abandoned or Unclaimed Property
Every state has unclaimed property laws that generally provide for escheatment to the state of unclaimed property (including proceeds of annuity, life and other insurance policies) under various circumstances. In addition to the state unclaimed property laws, we may be required to escheat property pursuant to regulatory demand, finding, agreement or settlement. To help prevent such escheatment, it is important that you keep your contact and other information on file with us up to date, including the names, contact information and identifying information for owners, insureds, annuitants, beneficiaries and other payees. Such updates should be communicated in a form and manner satisfactory to us.
Legal Proceedings
We, like other life insurance companies, are subject to regulatory and legal proceedings, including class action lawsuits, in the ordinary course of our business. Such legal and regulatory matters include proceedings specific to us and other proceedings generally applicable to business practices in the industry in which we operate. In some lawsuits and regulatory proceedings involving insurers, substantial damages have been sought and/or material settlement payments have been made. Although the outcome of any litigation or regulatory proceeding cannot be predicted with certainty, at the present time, we believe that there are no pending or threatened proceedings or lawsuits that are likely to have a material adverse impact on the separate account, on TCI's ability to perform under its principal underwriting agreement, or on our ability to meet our obligations under the policy.
We are currently being audited on behalf of multiple states' treasury and controllers' offices for compliance with laws and regulations concerning the identification, reporting and escheatment of unclaimed benefits or abandoned funds. The audits focus on insurance company processes and procedures for identifying unreported death claims, and their use of the Social Security Master Death File to identify deceased policy and policy holders. In addition, we are the subject of multiple state Insurance Department inquiries and market conduct examinations with a similar focus on the handling of unreported claims and abandoned property. The audits and related examination activity have resulted in or may result in additional payments to beneficiaries, escheatment of funds deemed abandoned, administrative penalties and changes in our procedures for the identification of unreported claims and handling of escheatable property. We do not believe that any regulatory actions or agreements that have resulted from or will result from these examinations has had or will have a material adverse impact on the separate account, on TCI's ability to perform under its principal underwriting agreement, or on our ability to meet our obligations under the policy.
Cyber Security
Our variable product business is highly dependent upon the effective operation of our computer systems and those of our business partners. Consequently, our business is potentially susceptible to operational and information security risks resulting from a cyber-attack. These risks include, among other things, the theft, misuse, corruption and destruction of data maintained online or digitally, denial of service attacks on websites and other operational disruption and unauthorized release of confidential customer information. Cyber-attacks affecting us, any third party administrator, the underlying funds, intermediaries and other affiliated or third-party service provides may adversely affect us and your policy value. For instance, cyber-attacks may: interfere with our processing of policy transactions, including the processing of orders from our website or with the underlying funds; cause the release and possible destruction of confidential customer or business information; impede order processing; subject us and/or our service providers and intermediaries to regulatory fines and financial losses; and/or cause reputational damage. Cyber security risks may also affect the issuers of securities in which the underlying funds invest, which may cause the underlying funds to lose value. There can be no assurance that we, the underlying funds or our service providers will avoid losses affecting your policy that result from cyber-attacks or information security breaches.

Information About Us
We are engaged in the sale of life and health insurance and annuity policies. Transamerica Life Insurance Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Iowa on April 19, 1961 as NN Investors Life Insurance Company Inc., and is licensed in all states and the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Transamerica Financial Life Insurance Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of New York on October 3, 1947 and is licensed in all states and the District of Columbia. We are a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Transamerica Corporation which conducts most of its operations through subsidiary companies engaged in the insurance business or in providing non-insurance financial services. All of the stock of Transamerica Corporation is indirectly owned by Aegon N.V. of The Netherlands, the securities of which are publicly traded. Aegon N.V., a holding company, conducts its business through subsidiary companies engaged primarily in the insurance business.
All obligations arising under the policies, including the promise to make annuity payments, are general corporate obligations of ours. Accordingly, no financial institution, brokerage firm or insurance agency is responsible for our financial obligations arising under the policies.
Financial Condition
We pay benefits under your policy from our general account assets and/or from your policy value held in the separate account. It is important that you understand that payments of the benefits are not assured and depend upon certain factors discussed below.
Assets in the Separate Account. You assume all of the investment risk for your policy value that is allocated to the subaccounts of the separate account. Your policy value in those subaccounts constitutes a portion of the assets of the separate account. These assets are segregated and insulated from our general account, and may not be charged with liabilities arising from any other business that we may conduct.
Assets in the General Account. You also may be permitted to make allocations to guaranteed period options of the fixed account, which are supported by the assets in our general account. Any guarantees under a policy that exceed policy value, such as those associated with any lifetime withdrawal benefit riders and any optional death benefits, are paid from our general account (and not the separate account). Therefore, any amounts that we may be obligated to pay under the policy in excess of policy value are subject to our financial strength and claims-paying ability and our long-term ability to make such payments. The assets of the separate account, however, are also available to cover the liabilities of our general account, but only to the extent that the separate account assets exceed the separate account liabilities arising under the policies supported by it.
We issue other types of insurance policies and financial products as well, and we also pay our obligations under these products from our assets in the general account.
As an insurance company, we are required by state insurance regulation to hold a specified amount of reserves in order to meet all the contractual obligations of our general account. In order to meet our claims-paying obligation we monitor our reserves so that we hold sufficient amounts to cover actual or expected policy and claims payments. In addition, we hedge our investments in our general account, and may require purchasers of certain of the variable insurance products that we offer to allocate premium payments and policy value in accordance with specified investment requirements. However, it is important to note that there is no guarantee that we will always be able to meet our claims-paying obligations, and that there are risks to purchasing any insurance product.
State insurance regulators also require insurance companies to maintain a minimum amount of capital, which acts as a cushion in the event that the insurer suffers a financial impairment, based on the inherent risks in the insurer’s operations. These risks include those associated with losses that we may incur as the result of defaults on the payment of interest or principal on our general account assets, which include bonds, mortgages, general real estate investments, and stocks, as well as the loss in market value of these investments. We may also experience liquidity risk if our general account assets cannot be readily converted into cash to meet obligations to our policy owners or to provide the collateral necessary to finance our business operations.
How to Obtain More Information. We encourage both existing and prospective policy owners to read and understand our financial statements. We prepare our financial statements on a statutory basis. Our financial statements, which are presented in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Iowa Department of Insurance as well as the financial statements of the separate account are located in the Statement of Additional Information (SAI). For a free copy of the SAI, simply call or write us at the phone number or address of our Administrative Office referenced in this prospectus. In addition, the SAI is available on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov. Our financial strength ratings which reflect the opinions of leading independent rating agencies of our ability to meet our obligations to our policy owners, are available on our website (https://www.transamerica.com/individual/what-we-do/about-us/financial-strength/), and the websites of these nationally recognized statistical ratings organizations A.M. Best Company (www.ambest.com), Moody’s Investors Service (www.moodys.com), Standard & Poor’s Rating Services (www.standardandpoors.com) and Fitch, Inc. (www.fitchratings.com).

The Separate Account
Each separate account receives and invests the premium payments that are allocated to it for investment in shares of the underlying fund portfolios. Each separate account is registered with the SEC as a unit investment trust under the 1940 Act. However, the SEC does not supervise the management, the investment practices, or the policies of the separate account or us. Income, gains and losses (whether or not realized), from assets allocated to the separate account are, in accordance with the policies, credited to or charged against the separate account without regard to our other income, gains or losses.
The assets of each separate account are held in our name on behalf of the separate account and belong to us. However, those assets that underlie the policies are not chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business we may conduct. The separate account may include other subaccounts that are not available under these policies. We do not guarantee the investment results of the Separate Account.
The Funds
At the time you purchase your policy, you may allocate your premium payment to subaccounts. These are subdivisions of our separate account, an account that keeps your policy assets separate from our company assets. The subaccounts then purchase shares of underlying fund portfolios set up exclusively for variable annuity or variable life insurance products. These are not the same mutual funds that you buy through your investment professional even though they may have similar investment strategies and the same portfolio managers. Each underlying fund portfolio has varying degrees of investment risk. Underlying fund portfolios are also subject to separate fees and expenses such as management fees and operating expenses. “Master-feeder” or “fund of funds” invest substantially all of their assets in other mutual funds and will therefore bear a pro-rata share of fees and expenses incurred by both funds. This will reduce your investment return. Read the underlying fund portfolio prospectuses carefully before investing. We do not guarantee the investment results of any underlying fund portfolio. Certain underlying fund portfolios may not be available in all states and in all share classes. Please see “Appendix - Underlying Fund Portfolios Associated with the Subaccounts” for additional information.
Other Transamerica Policies
We offer a variety of fixed and variable annuity policies. They may offer features, including investment options, and have fees and charges, that are different from those in the policy offered by this Prospectus. Not every policy we issue is offered through every financial intermediary. Some financial intermediaries may not offer and/or limit the offering of certain features or options, as well as limit the availability of the policies, based on issue age, or other criteria established by the financial intermediary. Upon request, your financial professional can show you information regarding other Transamerica annuity policies that he or she distributes. You can also contact us to find out more about the availability of any of the Transamerica annuity policies.
You should work with your financial professional to decide whether this policy is appropriate for you based on a thorough analysis of your particular insurance needs, financial objectives, investment goals, time horizons and risk tolerance.
Distribution of the Policies
Distribution and Principal Underwriting Agreement. We have entered into a principal underwriting agreement with our affiliate, Transamerica Capital, Inc. (TCI), for the distribution and sale of the policies. We pay commissions to TCI which are passed through to selling firms. (See below). We also pay TCI an “override” that is a percentage of total commissions paid on sales of our policies which is not passed through to the selling firms and we may reimburse TCI for certain expenses it incurs in order to pay for the distribution of the policies. TCI markets the policies through bank affiliated firms, national brokerage firms, regional and independent broker-dealers and independent financial planners.
Compensation to Broker-Dealers Selling the Policies. The policies are offered to the public through broker-dealers (“selling firms”) that are licensed under the federal securities laws; the selling firm and/or its affiliates are also licensed under state insurance laws. The selling firms have entered into written selling agreements with us and with TCI as principal underwriter for the policies. We pay commissions through TCI to the selling firms for their sales of the policies.
A limited number of affiliated and unaffiliated broker-dealers were paid commissions and overrides to “wholesale” the policies, that is, to provide sales support and training to sales representatives at the selling firms. We also provide compensation to a limited number of broker-dealers for providing ongoing service in relation to the policies that have already been purchased.
The selling firms that have selling agreements with us and TCI are paid commissions for the promotion and sale of the policies according to one or more schedules. The amount and timing of commissions may vary depending on the selling agreement, and the share purchased, but the commission range is from 1.25% up to 7.5% of premium payments (additional amounts may be paid as overrides to wholesalers).
65

To the extent permitted by Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) rules, TCI may pay (or allow other broker-dealers to provide) promotional incentives or payments in the form of cash or non-cash compensation or reimbursement to some, but not all, selling firms and their sales representatives. These arrangements are sometimes referred to as “revenue sharing” arrangements and are described further below.
The sales representative who sells you the policy typically receives a portion of the compensation we (and our affiliates) pay to the selling firms, depending on the agreement between the selling firm and its registered representative and the firm's internal compensation program. These programs may include other types of cash and non-cash compensation and other benefits. Ask your sales representative for further information about the compensation your sales representative, and the selling firm that employs your sales representative, may receive in connection with your purchase of a policy. Also inquire about any revenue sharing arrangements that we and our affiliates may have with the selling firm, including the conflicts of interests that such arrangements may create.
You should be aware that a selling firm or its sales representatives may receive different compensation or incentives for selling one product over another. In some cases, these differences may create an incentive for the selling firm or its sales representatives to recommend or sell this policy to you. You may wish to take such incentives into account when considering and evaluating any recommendation relating to the policies.
Special Compensation Paid to Affiliated Firms. We and/or our affiliates provide paid-in capital to TCI and pay the cost of TCI's operating and other expenses, including costs for facilities, legal and accounting services, and other internal administrative functions. We and/or our affiliates also provide TCI with a percentage of total commissions paid on sales of our policies and provide TCI with capital payments that are not contingent on sales.
TCI's registered representatives and supervisors may receive non-cash compensation, such as attendance at conferences, seminars and trips (such as travel, lodging and meals in connection therewith), entertainment, merchandise and other similar items, payments, loans, loan forgiveness or loan guarantees.
Additional Compensation That We, TCI and/or Our Affiliates Pay to Selected Selling Firms. TCI, in connection with the sales of the policies, may pay certain selling firms additional cash amounts for “preferred product” treatment of the policies in their marketing programs in order to receive enhanced marketing services and increased access to their sales representatives. In exchange for providing TCI with access to their distribution network, such selling firms may receive additional compensation or reimbursement for, among other things, the hiring and training of sales personnel, marketing, sponsoring of conferences, meetings, seminars, events, and/or other services they provide to us and our affiliates. To the extent permitted by applicable law, TCI and other parties may provide the selling firms with occasional gifts, meals, tickets or other non-cash compensation as an incentive to sell the policies. These special compensation arrangements are not offered to all selling firms and the terms of such arrangements may differ among selling firms.
In addition, TCI paid selling firms other special fees based on new sales and/or assets under management. During 2014, TCI had such “preferred product” arrangements with at least 52 broker-dealers and other financial intermediaries. Some of the more significant entities were:
AXA Network, LLC • BBVA Securities, Inc. • Cambridge Investment Research, Inc. • CCO Investments • Centarus Financial, Inc. •  Cetera Advisors LLC• Cetera Advisors Networks LLC• Cetera Financial Specialists LLC • Cetera Investment Services LLC• CFD Investments, Inc. • Commonwealth Financial Network • Edward D. Jones & Co., L.P. • Equity Services, Inc. • Fifth Third Securities, Inc. • First Allied Holdings, Inc. • FSC Securities Corporation • Gary Goldberg & Company, Inc. • Hantz Financial Services, Inc. •  Invest Financial Corporation • Investacorp, Inc. • Investment Centers of America, Inc. • James T. Borello & Co, • Janney Montgomery Scott, LLC • LPL Financial, LLC. • M&T Securities Product Management • Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Inc. • MetLife Securities, Inc. • Money Concepts Capital Corporation • Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, Inc. • National Planning Corporation • New England Securities Corporation • NFP Securities Inc. • Park Avenue Securities, LLC • Raymond James & Associates, Inc. • Raymond James Financial Services, Inc. • Royal Alliance Associates, Inc. • SagePoint Financial, Inc. • Securities America, Inc. • Sigma Financial Corporation • Signator Investors, Inc. • SII Investments, Inc. • SunTrust Investment Services • The Huntington Investment Company • Transamerica Financial Advisors, Inc. • Triad Advisors, Inc. • US Bancorp Investments, Inc. • VOYA Financial Partners, LLC • VSR Financial Services, Inc. • Wells Fargo Advisors, LLC • Wells Fargo Advisors Financial Network LLC •  Wells Fargo Investments LLC • Woodbury Financial
For the calendar year ended December 31, 2014 TCI paid approximately 28,300,000 various brokers and other financial intermediaries in connection with revenue sharing arrangements.
No specific charge is assessed directly to owners or the separate account to cover commissions, non-cash compensation, and other incentives or payments described above. We do intend to recoup commissions and other sales expenses and incentives we pay, however, through fees and charges deducted under the policy and other corporate revenue.

Excess Interest Adjustment Examples
Surrenders (full and partial), transfers, death benefits and amounts applied to an annuity option, from a guaranteed period option of the fixed account before the end of its guaranteed period (the number of years you specified the money would remain in the guaranteed period option) may be subject to an excess interest adjustment (“EIA”). If, at the time of such transactions the guaranteed interest rate set by us for the applicable period has risen since the date of the initial guarantee, the excess interest adjustment will result in a lower cash value. However, if the guaranteed interest rate set by us for the applicable period has fallen since the date of the initial guarantee, the excess interest adjustment will result in a higher cash value.
Excess interest adjustments will not reduce the adjusted policy value for a guaranteed period option below the premium payments and transfers to that guaranteed period option, less any prior partial surrenders and transfers from the guaranteed period option, plus interest at the policy's minimum guaranteed effective annual interest rate. This is referred to as the excess interest adjustment floor.
The formula that will be used to determine the excess interest adjustment is:
S* (G-C)* (M/12)
S = Is the amount (before surrender charges, premium taxes and the application of any Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefits, if any) being surrendered, withdrawn, transferred, paid upon death, or applied to an income option that is subject to the excess interest adjustment.
G = Is the guaranteed interest rate for the guaranteed period applicable to “S”;
C = Is the current guaranteed interest rate then being offered on new premium payments for the next longer option period than “M”. If this policy form or such an option period is no longer offered, “C” will be the U.S. Treasury rate for the next longer maturity (in whole years) than “M” on the 25th day of the previous calendar month; and
M = Number of months remaining in the current option period for “S”, rounded up to the next higher whole number of months.
* = multiplication
The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and are calculated using hypothetical values. Your experience will vary based on circumstances at the time of withdrawal. In the following examples ^ denotes exponentiation. Please note the exponentiation represents the compounding of the interest rate.

Excess Interest Adjustment Examples — (Continued)
Example 1 (Full Surrender, rates increase by 3%):
Assumptions:
Single premium payment = $50,000
Guarantee period = 5 Years
Guarantee rate = 5.5% per annum
Guaranteed minimum interest rate = 1.50%
Surrender in the middle of policy year 2
Summary:  
Policy value at middle of policy year 2 = 50,000.00 * (1.055) ^ 1.5 = 54,181.21
Cumulative earnings = 54,181.21 50,000.00 = 4,181.21
Amount free of excess interest adjustment = 4,181.21
Amount subject to excess interest adjustment = 54,181.21 4,181.21 = 50,000.00
Excess interest adjustment floor = 50,000.00 * (1.015) ^ 1.5 = 51,129.21
Excess interest adjustment S*(G-C)*(M/12) where: G = .055
C = .085
M = 42
  = -5,250.00, but excess interest adjustment cannot cause the adjusted policy value to fall below the excess interest adjustment floor, so the adjustment is limited to
51,129.21 - 54,181.21 = -3,052.00
Adjusted policy value = policy value + excess interest adjustment = 54,181.21 + (-3,052.00) = 51,129.21
Upon full surrender of the policy, the net surrender value (adjusted policy value less any surrender charge) will never be less than that required by the non-forfeiture laws of your state.
Example 2 (Full Surrender, rates decrease by 1%):
Assumptions:
Single premium payment = $50,000
Guarantee period = 5 Years
Guarantee rate = 5.5% per annum
Guaranteed minimum interest rate = 1.50%
Surrender in the middle of policy year 2
Summary:  
Policy value at middle of policy year 2 = 50,000.00 * (1.055) ^ 1.5 = 54,181.21
Cumulative earnings = 54,181.21 50,000.00 = 4,181.21
Amount free of excess interest adjustment = 4,181.21
Amount subject to excess interest adjustment = 54,181.21 4,181.21 = 50,000.00
Excess interest adjustment floor = 50,000.00 * (1.015) ^ 1.5 = 51,129.21
Excess interest adjustment S* (G-C)* (M/12) where: G = .055
C = .045
M = 42
= 50,000.00 * (.055-.045) * (42/12) = 1,750.00
Adjusted policy value = 54,181.21 + 1,750.00 = 55,931.21
Upon full surrender of the policy, the net surrender value will never by less than that required by the non-forfeiture laws of your state. For the purpose of these illustrations no surrender charges are assumed.

Excess Interest Adjustment Examples — (Continued)
On a partial surrender, we will pay the policyholder the full amount of surrender requested (as long as the policy value is sufficient). Amounts surrendered will reduce the policy value by an amount equal to:
R - E + SC
R = the requested partial surrender;
E = the excess interest adjustment; and
SC = the surrender charges on (EPW - E): where
EPW = the excess partial withdrawal amount.
Example 3 (Partial Surrender, rates increase by 1%):
Assumptions:
Single premium payment = $50,000
Guarantee period = 5 Years
Guarantee rate = 5.5% per annum
Partial Surrender of $20,000 in the middle of policy year 2
Summary:  
Policy value at middle of policy year 2 = 50,000.00 * (1.055) ^ 1.5 = 54,181.21
Cumulative earnings = 54,181.21 50,000.00 = 4,181.21
Amount free of excess interest adjustment = 4,181.21
Excess interest adjustment S*(G-C)*(M/12) where: S = 20,000 4,181.21 = 15,818.79
G = .055
C = .065
M = 42
= 15,818.79 * (.055 - .065) * (42/12) = -553.66
Remaining policy value at middle of policy year 2 = 54,181.21 - (R - E + surrender charge)
= 54,181.21 - (20,000.00 - (-553.66) + 0.00) = 33,627.55
Example 4 (Partial Surrender, rates decrease by 1%):
Assumptions:
Single premium payment = $50,000
Guarantee period = 5 Years
Guarantee rate = 5.5% per annum
Partial Surrender of $20,000 in the middle of policy year 2
Summary:  
Policy value at middle of policy year 2 = 50,000.00 * (1.055) ^ 1.5 = 54,181.21
Cumulative earnings = 54,181.21 50,000.00 = 4,181.21
Amount free of excess interest adjustment = 4,181.21
Excess interest adjustment S*(G-C)*(M/12) where: S = 20,000 4,181.21 = 15,818.79
G = .055
C = .045
M = 42
= 15,818.79 * (.055 - .045)* (42/12) = 553.66
Remaining policy value at middle of policy year 2 = 54,181.21 - (R - E + surrender charge)
= 54,181.21 - (20,000.00 553.66 + 0.00) = 34,734.87

APPENDIX
Death Benefit
Adjusted Withdrawals. If you make a partial surrender (withdrawal), then your guaranteed minimum death benefit is reduced by an amount called the adjusted withdrawal. The amount of the reduction depends on the relationship between your death proceeds and policy value. The adjusted withdrawal is equal to the gross withdrawal multiplied by the death proceeds immediately prior to the withdrawal divided by the policy value immediately prior to the withdrawal. The formula is AW = GW x (DP/PV) where:
AW = adjusted withdrawal
GW= gross withdrawal
DP = death proceeds prior to the withdrawal = greatest of (PV, CV, or GMDB)
PV = policy value prior to the withdrawal
GMDB = guaranteed minimum death benefit prior to the withdrawal
CV = cash value prior to the withdrawal
The following examples describe the effect of a surrender on the guaranteed minimum death benefit and policy value.
Example 1: Death Proceeds Greater than Policy Value
Assumptions:
GMDB = $75,000
PV = $50,000
DP = $75,000
GW = $15,494
AW = $15,494 x ($75,000/$50,000) = $23,241
Summary:  
Reduction in guaranteed minimum death benefit =$23,241
Reduction in policy value =$15,494
New guaranteed minimum death benefit amount =$51,759
New policy value (after withdrawal) =$34,506
The guaranteed minimum death benefit is reduced more than the policy value because the guaranteed minimum death benefit was greater than the policy value immediately prior to the withdrawal.
Example 2: Death Proceeds Equal to Policy Value
Assumptions:
GMDB = $50,000
PV = $75,000
DP = $75,000
GW = $15,494
AW = $15,494 x ($75,000/$75,000) = $15,494
Summary:  
Reduction in guaranteed minimum death benefit =$15,494
Reduction in policy value =$15,494
New guaranteed minimum death benefit amount =$34,506
New policy value (after withdrawal) =$59,506
The guaranteed minimum death benefit and policy value are reduced by the same amount because the policy value was greater than the guaranteed minimum death benefit immediately prior to the withdrawal.
These examples are for illustrative purposes only. The purpose of these illustrations is to demonstrate how this feature is calculated using hypothetical values. Your experience will vary based on circumstances at the time of withdrawal.

Death Benefit — (Continued)
Hypothetical Example
In this example, certain death benefit values at various points in time are depicted based on hypothetical assumed rates of performance. This example is for illustrative purposes only and assumes a single $100,000 premium payment by a sole owner and annuitant who is age 50. It further assumes no subsequent premium payments or withdrawals. The difference between the two “Policy Value” columns is the fee for the guaranteed minimum death benefit.

* The assumed rate does reflect the deduction of a hypothetical fund fee but does not reflect the deduction of any other fees, charges or taxes. The death benefit values do reflect the deduction of hypothetical base policy fees and hypothetical death benefit fees. For purposes of this example we assumed a Mortality and Expense Risk Fee and Administrative Charge of 1.15% for Policy Value, 1.30% for Return of Premium and 1.50% for Annual Step-Up. Different hypothetical returns and fees would produce different results.

APPENDIX
ADDITIONAL DEATH DISTRIBUTION RIDER
The following example illustrates the Additional Death Distribution additional death benefit payable by this rider as well as the effect of a partial surrender on the Additional Death Distribution benefit amount. The annuitant is less than age 71 on the Rider Date.
Example 1
Assumptions:
Policy value on the rider date = $100,000
Premiums paid after the rider date before surrender = $25,000
Gross partial surrenders after the rider date = $30,000
Policy value on date of surrender = $150,000
Summary:  
Rider earnings on date of surrender (policy value on date of surrender policy value on rider date premiums paid after rider date + surrenders since rider date that exceeded rider earnings = $150,000 - $100,000 - $25,000 + 0): $ 25,000
Amount of surrender that exceeds rider earnings ($30,000 - $25,000): $ 5,000
Base policy death benefit (assumed) on the date of death benefit calculation: $200,000
Policy value on the date of death benefit calculations: $175,000
Rider earnings (= policy value on date of death benefit calculations policy value on rider date premiums since rider date + surrenders since rider date that exceeded rider earnings = $175,000 - $100,000 - $25,000 + $5,000): $ 55,000
Additional death benefit amount (= additional death benefit factor * rider earnings = 40%* $55,000): $ 22,000
Total death benefit paid (= base policy death benefit plus additional death benefit amount): $222,000
Example 2
Assumptions:
Policy value on the rider date = $100,000
Premiums paid after the rider date before surrender = $0
Gross partial surrenders after the rider date = $0
Base policy death benefit (assumed) on the date of death benefit calculation = $100,000
Policy value on the date of death benefit calculations = $75,000
Summary:  
Rider earnings (= policy value on date of death benefit calculations policy value on rider date premiums since rider date + surrenders since rider date that exceeded rider earnings = $75,000 - $100,000 - $0 + $0): $ 0
Additional death benefit amount (= additional death benefit factor * rider earnings = 40%* $0): $ 0
Total death benefit paid (= base policy death benefit plus additional death benefit amount): $100,000

APPENDIX
ADDITIONAL DEATH DISTRIBUTION+ RIDER
Assume the Additional Death Distribution+ is added to a new policy opened with $100,000 initial premium payment. The annuitant is less than age 71 on the rider date. On the first and second rider anniversaries, the policy value is $110,000 and $95,000 respectively when the rider fees are deducted. The annuitant adds a $25,000 premium payment in the 3rd rider year when the policy value is equal to $115,000 and then takes a withdrawal of $35,000 during the 4th rider year when the policy value is equal to $145,000. After 5 years, the policy value is equal to $130,000 and the death proceeds are equal to $145,000.
Example 1
Assumptions:
Account value on rider date (equals initial policy value since new policy) = $100,000
Additional death benefit during first rider year = $0
Rider fee on first rider anniversary (= rider fee * policy value = 0.55% * $110,000) = $605
Additional death benefit during 2nd rider year (= sum of total rider fees paid) = $605
Summary:  
Rider fee on second rider anniversary (= rider fee * policy value = 0.55% * $95,000) $ 522.50
Additional death benefit during 3rd rider year (= sum of total rider fees paid = $605 + $522.50) $ 1,127.50
Rider benefit base in 3rd rider year prior to premium addition (= account value less premiums added since rider date = $115,000 $0) $115,000.00
Rider benefit base in 3rd rider year after premium addition (= $140,000 - $25,000) $115,000.00
Rider benefit base in 4th rider year prior to withdrawal (= account value less premiums added since rider date = $145,000 - $25,000) $120,000.00
Rider benefit base in 4th rider year after withdrawal = (account value less premiums added since rider date =$110,000 - $25,000) $ 85,000.00
Rider benefit base in 5th rider year (= $130,000 - $25,000) $105,000.00
Additional death benefit = rider benefit percentage * rider benefit base = 30% * $105,000 $ 31,500.00
Total death proceeds in 5th rider year (= base policy death proceeds + additional death benefit amount = $145,000 + $31,500) $176,500.00

APPENDIX
GUARANTEED PRINCIPAL SOLUTIONSM RIDER ADJUSTED PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS
The following examples show the effect of withdrawals on the benefits under the Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider.
GUARANTEED MINIMUM ACCUMULATION BENEFIT
Gross partial withdrawals will reduce the guaranteed future value by an amount equal to the greater of:
1)  the gross partial withdrawal amount; and
2)  a pro rata amount, the result of (A / B) * C, where:
A  is the amount of gross partial withdrawal;
B  is the policy value immediately prior to the gross partial withdrawal; and
C  is the guaranteed future value immediately prior to the gross partial withdrawal.
The following demonstrates, on a purely hypothetical basis, the effects of partial withdrawals under the guaranteed minimum accumulation benefit.
Example 1:
Assumptions:
Policy value prior to withdrawal (“PV”) = $90,000
Guaranteed future value prior to withdrawal (“GFV”) = $100,000
Gross withdrawal amount (“WD”) = $10,000
Step One.  What is the pro rata value of the amount withdrawn?
1.  Formula is (WD / PV) * GFV = pro rata amount
2.  ($10,000 / $90,000) * $100,000 = $11,111.11
Step Two.  Which is larger, the $10,000 withdrawal or the $11,111.11 pro rata amount?
$11,111.11 pro rata amount
Step Three.  After the withdrawal is taken, what will be new guaranteed future value?
$100,000 - $11,111.11 = $88,888.89
Result.   If no more withdrawals are taken, the guaranteed future value on the 10th rider anniversary is $88,888.89.
Example 2:
Assumptions:
PV = $120,000
GFV= $100,000
WD= $10,000
Step One.  What is the pro rata value of the amount withdrawn?
1.  Formula is (WD / PV) * GFV = pro rata amount
2.  ($10,000 / $120,000) * $100,000 = $8,333.33
Step Two.  Which is larger, the $10,000 withdrawal or the $8,333.33 pro rata amount?
$10,000 withdrawal
Step Three.  After the withdrawal is taken, what will be new guaranteed future value?
$100,000 - $10,000 = $90,000
Result.   If no more withdrawals are taken, the guaranteed future value on the 10th Rider Anniversary is $90,000.
GUARANTEED LIFETIME WITHDRAWAL BENEFIT
Total Withdrawal Base.  Gross partial withdrawals up to the maximum annual withdrawal amount will not reduce the total withdrawal base. Gross partial withdrawals in excess of the maximum annual withdrawal amount will reduce the total withdrawal base by an amount equal to the greater of:
1)  the excess gross partial withdrawal amount; and

2)  a pro rata amount, the result of (A / B) * C, where:
A  is the excess gross partial withdrawal (the amount in excess of the guaranteed annual withdrawal amount remaining prior to the withdrawal);
B  is the policy value after the maximum annual withdrawal amount has been withdrawn, but prior to the withdrawal of the excess amount; and
C  is the total withdrawal base prior to the withdrawal of the excess amount.
Minimum Remaining Withdrawal Amount.  Gross partial withdrawals up to the maximum annual withdrawal amount will reduce the minimum remaining withdrawal amount by the same amount (dollar-for-dollar). Gross partial withdrawals in excess of the maximum annual withdrawal amount will reduce the minimum remaining withdrawal amount by an amount equal to the greater of:
1)  the excess gross partial withdrawal amount; and
2)  a pro rata amount, the result of (A / B) * C, where:
A  is the excess gross partial withdrawal (the amount in excess of the guaranteed annual withdrawal amount remaining prior to the withdrawal);
B  is the policy value after the maximum annual withdrawal amount has been withdrawn, but prior to the withdrawal of the excess amount; and
C  is the minimum remaining withdrawal amount after the maximum annual withdrawal amount has been withdrawn, but prior to the withdrawal of the excess amount.
The following demonstrates, on a purely hypothetical basis, the effects of partial withdrawals under the guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit.
When a withdrawal is taken, three parts of the guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit can be affected:
1.  Minimum remaining withdrawal amount (“MRWA”)
2.  Total withdrawal base (“TWB”)
3.  Maximum annual withdrawal amount (“MAWA”)
Example 1 (7% “principal back”):
Assumptions:
TWB = $100,000
MRWA = $100,000
7% WD would be $7,000 (7% of the current $100,000 total withdrawal base)
WD = $7,000
Excess withdrawal (“EWD”) = None
PV = $100,000
You = Owner and Annuitant (Age 60)
Step One.  Is any portion of the withdrawal greater than the “principal back” maximum annual withdrawal amount?
No.  There is no excess withdrawal under the “principal back” guarantee if no more than $7,000 is withdrawn.
Step Two.  What is the minimum remaining withdrawal amount after the withdrawal has been taken?
1.  Total to deduct from the minimum remaining withdrawal amount is $7,000 (there is no excess to deduct)
2.  $100,000 - $7,000 = $93,000.
Result.  In this example, because no portion of the withdrawal was in excess of $7,000, the “principal back” total withdrawal base does not change and the “principal back” minimum remaining withdrawal amount is $93,000.00.
Example 2 (7% “principal back”):
Assumptions:
TWB = $100,000
MRWA = $100,000
7% WD would be $7,000 (7% of the current $100,000 total withdrawal base)
WD = $8,000
EWD = $1,000 ($8,000 - $7,000)
PV = $90,000
You = Owner and Annuitant (Age 60)

GUARANTEED PRINCIPAL SOLUTIONSM RIDER ADJUSTED PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS — (Continued)
Step One.  Is any portion of the total withdrawal greater than the maximum annual withdrawal amount?
Yes.  $8,000 - $7,000 = $1,000 (the excess withdrawal amount)
Step Two.  Calculate how much of the “principal back” minimum remaining withdrawal amount is affected by the excess withdrawal.
1.  Formula for pro rata amount is: (EWD / (PV - 7% WD)) * (MRWA - 7% WD)
2.  ($1,000 / ($90,000 - $7,000)) * ($100,000 - $7,000) = $1,120.48
Step Three.  Which is larger, the actual $1,000 excess withdrawal amount or the $1,120.48 pro rata amount?
$1,120.48 pro rata amount
Step Four.  What is the “principal back” minimum remaining withdrawal amount after the withdrawal has been taken?
1.  Total to deduct from the minimum remaining withdrawal amount is $7,000 + $1,120.48 (pro rata excess) = $8,120.48
2.  $100,000 - $8,120.48 = $91,879.52
Result.  The “principal back” minimum remaining withdrawal amount is $91,879.52.
NOTE.  For the guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit, because there was an excess withdrawal amount, the total withdrawal base needs to be adjusted as well as a new lower maximum annual withdrawal amount. Had the withdrawal for this example not been more than $7,000, the “principal back” total withdrawal base would remain at $100,000 and the “principal back” maximum annual withdrawal amount would be $7,000. However, because an excess withdrawal has been taken, the total withdrawal base is also changed (this is the amount the 7% is based on).
New “principal back” total withdrawal base:
Step One.  The total withdrawal base is only reduced by the excess withdrawal amount or the pro rata amount if greater.
Step Two.  Calculate how much the total withdrawal base is affected by the excess withdrawal.
1.  The formula is (EWD / (PV - 7% WD)) * TWB before any adjustments
2.  ($1,000 / ($90,000 - $7,000)) * $100,000 = $1,204.82
Step Three.  Which is larger, the actual $1,000 excess withdrawal amount or the $1,204.82 pro rata amount?
$1,204.82 pro rata amount.
Step Four.  What is the new total withdrawal base upon which the maximum annual withdrawal amount is based?
$100,000 - $1,204.82 = $98,795.18
Result.   The new “principal back” total withdrawal base is $98,795.18
New “principal back” maximum annual withdrawal amount:
Because the “principal back” total withdrawal base was adjusted (due to the excess withdrawal) we have to calculate a new maximum annual withdrawal amount for the 7% “principal back” guarantee that will be available starting on the next rider anniversary. This calculation assumes no more activity prior to the next rider anniversary.
Step One.  What is the new “principal back” maximum annual withdrawal amount?
$98,795.18 (the adjusted total withdrawal base) * 7% = $6,915.66
Result.  Going forward, the maximum you can take out in a rider year is $6,915.66 without causing an excess withdrawal for the “principal back” guarantee and further reduction of the “principal back” total withdrawal base.
Example 3 (5% “for life”):
Assumptions:
TWB = $100,000
MRWA = $100,000
5% WD would be $5,000 (5% of the current $100,000 total withdrawal base)
WD = $5,000
Excess withdrawal (“EWD”) = None
PV = $100,000
You = Owner and Annuitant (Age 60)
Step One.  Is any portion of the withdrawal greater than the “for life” maximum annual withdrawal amount?
No.  There is no excess withdrawal under the “for life” guarantee if no more than $5,000 is withdrawn.
100

GUARANTEED PRINCIPAL SOLUTIONSM RIDER ADJUSTED PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS — (Continued)
Step Two.  What is the minimum remaining withdrawal amount after the withdrawal has been taken?
1.  Total to deduct from the minimum remaining withdrawal amount is $5,000 (there is no excess to deduct).
2.  $100,000 - $5,000 = $95,000.
Result.  In this example, because no portion of the withdrawal was in excess of $5,000, the “for life” total withdrawal base does not change and the “for life” minimum remaining withdrawal amount is $95,000.00.
Example 4 (5% “for life”):
Assumptions:
TWB = $100,000
MRWA = $100,000
5% WD would be $5,000 (5% of the current $100,000 total withdrawal base)
WD = $7,000
EWD = $2,000 ($7,000 - $5,000)
PV = $90,000
You = Owner and Annuitant (Age 60)
Step One.  Is any portion of the total withdrawal greater than the maximum annual withdrawal amount?
Yes.  $7,000 - $5,000 = $2,000 (the excess withdrawal amount)
Step Two.  Calculate how much of the “for life” minimum remaining withdrawal amount is affected by the excess withdrawal.
1.  Formula for pro rata amount is: (EWD / (PV - 5% WD)) * (MRWA - 5% WD)
2.  ($2,000 / ($90,000 - $5,000)) * ($100,000 - $5,000) = $2,235.29
Step Three.  Which is larger, the actual $2,000 excess withdrawal amount or the $2,235.29 pro rata amount?
$2,235.29 pro rata amount
Step Four.  What is the “for life” minimum remaining withdrawal amount after the withdrawal has been taken?
1.  Total to deduct from the minimum remaining withdrawal amount is $5,000 + $2,235.29 (pro rata excess) = $7,235.29
2.  $100,000 - $7,235.29 = $92,764.71
Result.   The “for life” minimum remaining withdrawal amount is $92,764.71.
NOTE.  For the guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit, because there was an excess withdrawal amount, the total withdrawal base needs to be adjusted as well as a new lower maximum annual withdrawal amount. Had the withdrawal for this example not been more than $5,000, the “for life” total withdrawal base would remain at $100,000 and the “for life” maximum annual withdrawal amount would be $5,000. However, because an excess withdrawal has been taken, the total withdrawal base is also changed (this is the amount the 5% is based on).
New “for life” total withdrawal base:
Step One.  The total withdrawal base is only reduced by the excess withdrawal amount or the pro rata amount if greater.
Step Two.  Calculate how much the total withdrawal base is affected by the excess withdrawal.
1.  The formula is (EWD / (PV - 5% WD)) * TWB before any adjustments
2.  ($2,000 / ($90,000 - $5,000)) * $100,000 = $2,352.94
Step Three.  Which is larger, the actual $2,000 excess withdrawal amount or the $2,352.94 pro rata amount?
$2,352.94 pro rata amount.
Step Four.  What is the new total withdrawal base upon which the maximum annual withdrawal amount is based?
$100,000 - $2,352.94 = $97,647.06
Result.   The new “for life” total withdrawal base is $97,647.06

New “for life” maximum annual withdrawal amount:
Because the “for life” total withdrawal base was adjusted (due to the excess withdrawal) we have to calculate a new maximum annual withdrawal amount for the 5% “for life” guarantee that will be available starting on the next rider anniversary. This calculation assumes no more activity prior to the next rider anniversary.
Step One.  What is the new “for life” maximum annual withdrawal amount?
$97,647.06 (the adjusted total withdrawal base) * 5% = $4,882.35

APPENDIX
PAM METHOD TRANSFERS
To make the Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider available, we monitor your policy value and guarantees under the rider daily and periodically transfer amounts between your selected investment options and the PAM Subaccount. We determine the amount and timing of PAM Method transfers between the investment options and the PAM Subaccount according to a mathematical model.
The mathematical model is designed to calculate how much of your policy value should be allocated to the PAM Subaccount. Based on this calculation, transfers into or out of the PAM Subaccount will occur. The formula is:
Percent of Policy Value required in PAM Subaccount (or X) = e-Dividend*Time *(1- NormDist(d1))
where:
e = Base of the Natural Logarithm
NormDist = Cumulative Standard Normal Distribution
d1 = [ln(G)+(R F +.5*V ^ 2)* T]/[V * T^.5]
In order to calculate the percent of policy value required in the PAM Subaccount, we must first calculate d1:
d1 = [ln(G)+(R F +.5*V ^ 2)* T]/[V * T^.5]
where:
ln = Natural Logarithm Function
G = Guarantee Ratio
R = Rate
F = Fees
V = Volatility
T = Time
After calculating d1, the percent of policy value required in the PAM Subaccount can be calculated. Once calculated, appropriate transfers into or out of the PAM Subaccount will occur.
Following is a brief discussion of the values used in the formula.
The POLICY VALUE includes the value in both the investment options and in the PAM Subaccount.
The GUARANTEE RATIO is the policy value divided by 7% “Principal Back” Minimum Remaining Withdrawal Amount.
The RATE is the interest rate used for the PAM Method. It is based on a long-term expectation based on historical interest rates and may vary over time.
The FEES is an approximation of average policy fees and charges associated with policies that have elected the Guaranteed Principal SolutionSM Rider. This value may change over time.
The VOLATILITY represents the volatility of the returns of policy value for all in force policies and is based on the long-term expectation of the degree to which the policy values tend to fluctuate. This value may vary over time.
The TIME is an approximation based on actuarial calculations of historical average number of years (including any fraction) which we anticipate remain until any potential payments are made under the benefit. This value may vary over time.
The PERCENT OF POLICY VALUE TO BE ALLOCATED TO THE PAM SUBACCOUNT is computed for each policy. Ultimately the allocation for a policy takes into account the guarantees under the rider and the limit on allocations to the PAM Subaccount.
The CUMULATIVE STANDARD NORMAL DISTRIBUTION function assumes that random events are distributed according to the classic bell curve. For a given value it computes the percentage of such events which can be expected to be less than that value.
The NATURAL LOGARITHM function for a given value, computes the power to which e must be raised, in order to result in that value. Here, e is the base of the natural logarithms, or approximately 2.718282.
103

PAM METHOD TRANSFERS — (Continued)
Example:
Day 1: Policy Value Declines by 10%
For purposes of this example we will assume that the policy value declines by 10% to $90,000 the day after the rider issue date from the initial premium amount of $100,000 producing a guarantee ratio of 90% ($90,000/$100,000). We will also assume:
Guarantee Ratio = 90%
Rate = 4.5%
Volatility = 10%
Fees = 3%
Time = 20
First we calculate d1.
d1=[ln(G)+(R F +.5*V ^ 2)* T]/[V * T^.5]
d1=[ln(.90)+(.045 .03 +.5*.10 ^ 2)* 20]/[.10 * 20^.5]
d1=.658832
Using the value we just calculated for d1 we can now calculate the percent of policy value required in the PAM Subaccount.
Percent of Policy Value in PAM Subaccount (or X) = e-Dividend*Time *(1-NormDist(d1))
X= (2.718282 ^ -.03 * 20) * (1 NormDist(.658832))
X = 13.9948%
Therefore, 13.9948% of the policy value is transferred to the PAM Subaccount, resulting in a total transfer of $12,595.32.
Day 2: Policy Value Recovers to 105% of Initial Value after the 10% Decline
For purposes of this example we will assume that after the policy value declined to $90,000 it recovered the next day to $105,000 producing a guarantee ratio of 105% ($105,000/$100,000). We will also assume:
Guarantee Ratio = 105%
Rate = 4.5%
Volatility = 10%
Fees = 3%
Time = 20
First we calculate d1.
d1=[ln(G)+(R F +.5*V ^ 2)* T]/[V * T^.5]
d1=[ln(1.05)+(.045 .03 +.5*.10 ^ 2)* 20]/[.10 * 20^.5]
d1= 1.003524
Using the value we just calculated for d1 we can now calculate the percent of policy value required in the PAM Subaccount.
Percent of Policy Value in PAM Subaccount (or X) = e-Dividend*Time *(1 - NormDist(d1))
X= (2.718282 ^ -.03 * 20) * (1 NormDist(1.003524))
X = 8.6605%
While the mathematical model would suggest we transfer only a portion of the policy value in the PAM Subaccount into your investment options (leaving 8.6605% in the PAM Subaccount), all of the policy value in the PAM Subaccount will be transferred into your investment options. If the Guarantee Ratio equals or exceeds 100%, then your policy value is greater than or equal to the value of the guarantee and there is no current need for any policy value to be allocated to the PAM Subaccount.

APPENDIX
Hypothetical Adjusted Partial Surrenders -Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit Riders
When a withdrawal is taken, three parts of the guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit can be affected:
1.  Withdrawal Base (“WB”) (also referred to as Total Withdrawal Base (“TWB”) for some riders);
2.  Rider Withdrawal Amount (“RWA”) (also referred to as Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount (“MAWA”) for some riders); and
3.  Rider Death Benefit (“RDB”) (also referred to as Minimum Remaining Withdrawal Amount (“MRWA”) for some riders (if applicable)).
Withdrawal Base.  Gross partial withdrawals in a rider year up to the rider withdrawal amount will not reduce the withdrawal base. Gross partial withdrawals in a rider year in excess of the rider withdrawal amount will reduce the withdrawal base by an amount equal to the greater of:
1)  the excess gross partial withdrawal amount; and
2)  a pro rata amount, the result of (A / B) * C, where:
A  is the excess gross partial withdrawal (the amount in excess of the rider withdrawal amount remaining prior to the withdrawal);
B  is the policy value after the rider withdrawal amount has been withdrawn, but prior to the withdrawal of the excess amount; and
C  is the withdrawal base prior to the withdrawal of the excess amount.
Rider Death Benefit.  Gross partial withdrawals in a rider year up to the rider withdrawal amount will reduce the rider death benefit by the amount withdrawn (dollar-for-dollar). Gross partial withdrawals in a rider year in excess of the rider withdrawal amount will reduce the rider death benefit by an amount equal to the greater of:
1)  the excess gross partial withdrawal amount; and
2)  a pro rata amount, the result of (A / B) * C, where:
A  is the excess gross partial withdrawal (the amount in excess of the rider withdrawal amount remaining prior to the withdrawal);
B  is the policy value after the rider withdrawal amount has been withdrawn, but prior to the withdrawal of the excess amount; and
C  is the rider death benefit after the rider withdrawal amount has been withdrawn, but prior to the withdrawal of the excess amount.
The following demonstrates, on a purely hypothetical basis, the effects of partial withdrawals under a guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit. The withdrawal percentages shown may not be available on all riders. Certain features (growth and rider death benefits) may not be available on all riders. For information regarding a specific rider, please refer to that rider section in this prospectus.
Example 1 (Base):
Assumptions:
WB = $100,000
Withdrawal Percentage = 5%
RWA = 5% withdrawal would be $5,000 (5% of the current $100,000 withdrawal base)
Gross partial withdrawal (“GPWD”) = $5,000
Excess withdrawal (“EWD”) = None
Policy Value (“PV”) = $100,000
Question: Is any portion of the withdrawal greater than the rider withdrawal amount?
No. There is no excess withdrawal under the guarantee since no more than $5,000 is withdrawn.
Result. In this example, because no portion of the withdrawal was in excess of $5,000, the withdrawal base does not change.

Example 2 (Excess Withdrawal):
Assumptions:
WB = $100,000
Withdrawal Percentage = 5%
RWA = 5% withdrawal would be $5,000 (5% of the current $100,000 withdrawal base)
GPWD = $7,000
EWD = $2,000 ($7,000 - $5,000)
PV = $90,000
NOTE. For the guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit, because there was an excess withdrawal amount, the withdrawal base needs to be adjusted and a new lower rider withdrawal amount calculated. Had the withdrawal for this example not been more than $5,000, the withdrawal base would remain at $100,000 and the rider withdrawal amount would be $5,000. However, because an excess withdrawal has been taken, the withdrawal base is also reduced (this is the amount the 5% is based on).
New withdrawal base:
Step One. The withdrawal base is reduced only by the amount of the excess withdrawal or the pro rata amount, if greater.
Step Two. Calculate how much the withdrawal base is affected by the excess withdrawal.
1.  The formula is (EWD / (PV - 5% withdrawal)) * WB before any adjustments
2.  ($2,000 / ($90,000 - $5,000)) * $100,000 = $2,352.94
Step Three. Which is larger, the actual $2,000 excess withdrawal or the $2,352.94 pro rata amount?
$2,352.94 pro rata amount.
Step Four. What is the new withdrawal base upon which the rider withdrawal amount is based?
$100,000 - $2,352.94 = $97,647.06
Result. The new withdrawal base is $97,647.06
New rider withdrawal amount:
Because the withdrawal base was adjusted (due to the excess withdrawal) we have to calculate a new rider withdrawal amount for the 5% guarantee that will be available starting on the next calendar anniversary. This calculation assumes no more activity prior to the next calendar anniversary.
Question: What is the new rider withdrawal amount?
$97,647.06 (the adjusted withdrawal base) * 5% = $4,882.35
Result. Going forward, the maximum you can take out in a year is $4,882.35 without causing an excess withdrawal for the guarantee and further reduction of the withdrawal base (assuming there are no future automatic step-ups).
Example 3 (Base demonstrating growth):
Assumptions:
WB = $100,000
Withdrawal Percentage = 5%
WB in 10 years (assuming an annual growth rate percentage of 5.0%) = $100,000 * (1 + .05) ^ 10 = $162,889
RWA = 5% withdrawal beginning 10 years from the rider date would be $8,144 (5% of the then-current $162,889 withdrawal base)
Please Note: Withdrawals under these riders can begin prior to the 10th rider anniversary, but the WB growth will not occur during the rider years when a withdrawal is taken, and the growth stops on the 10th rider anniversary.
GPWD = $8,144
EWD = None
PV = $90,000 in 10 years
Question:   Is any portion of the withdrawal greater than the rider withdrawal amount?
No.  There is no excess withdrawal under the guarantee if no more than $8,144 is withdrawn.
Result.   In this example, because no portion of the withdrawal was in excess of $8,144, the withdrawal base does not change.
106

Hypothetical Adjusted Partial Surrenders -Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit
Riders — (Continued)
Example 4 (Base demonstrating WB growth with Additional Death Payment Option):
Assumptions:
Withdrawal Percentage = 5%
WB at rider issue = $100,000
WB in 10 years (assuming an annual growth rate percentage of 5%) = $100,000 * (1 + .05) ^ 10 = $162,889
RDB (optional additional death benefit for additional cost) = $100,000
RWA = 5% withdrawal beginning 10 years from the rider date would be $8,144 (5% of the then-current $162,889 withdrawal base)
Please Note: Withdrawals under these riders can begin prior to the 10th rider anniversary, but the WB growth will not occur during the rider years when a withdrawal is taken, and the growth stops on the 10th rider anniversary.
GPWD = $8,144
EWD = None
PV = $90,000 in 10 years
Step One.  Is any portion of the withdrawal greater than the rider withdrawal amount?
No.  There is no excess withdrawal under the guarantee if no more than $8,144 is withdrawn.
Step Two.  What is the rider death benefit after the withdrawal has been taken?
1.  Total to deduct from the rider death benefit is $8,144 (there is no excess to deduct)
2.  $100,000 - $8,144 = $91,856.
Result.  In this example, because no portion of the withdrawal was in excess of $8,144, the total withdrawal base does not change and the rider death benefit reduces to $91,856.
Example 5 (Base with WB growth with Additional Death Payment Option illustrating excess withdrawal):
Assumptions:
Withdrawal Percentage = 5%.
WB at rider issue = $100,000
Automatic step-up never occurs and no withdrawals are taken in the first 10 rider years.
WB in 10 years (assuming an annual growth rate percentage of 5%) = $100,000 * (1 + .05) ^ 10 = $162,889.
RDB (optional additional death benefit for additional cost) = $100,000
RWA = 5% withdrawal beginning 10 years from the rider date would be $8,144 (5% of the then-current $162,889 withdrawal base)
Please Note: Withdrawals under these riders can begin prior to the 10th rider anniversary, but the WB growth will not occur during the rider years when a withdrawal is taken and the growth stops on the 10th rider anniversary.
GPWD = $10,000
EWD = $1,856 ($10,000 - $8,144)
PV = $90,000 in 10 years
Step One.  Is any portion of the total withdrawal greater than the rider withdrawal amount?
Yes. $10,000 - $8,144 = $1,856 (the excess withdrawal amount)
Step Two.  Calculate how much of the rider death benefit is affected by the excess withdrawal.
1.  Formula for pro rata amount is: (EWD / (PV - 5% withdrawal)) * (RDB - 5% withdrawal)
2.  ($1,856 / ($90,000 - $8,144)) * ($100,000 - $8,144) = $2,082.74
Step Three. Which is larger, the actual $1,856 excess withdrawal amount or the $2,082.74 pro rata amount?
$2,082.74 pro rata amount.
Step Four. What is the rider death benefit after the withdrawal has been taken?
1.  Total to deduct from the rider death benefit is $8,144 (RWA) + $2,082.74 (pro rata excess) = $10,226.74
2.  $100,000 - $10,226.74 = $89,773.26.
Result. The rider benefit is $89,773.26.

Hypothetical Adjusted Partial Surrenders -Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit
Riders — (Continued)
Note: Because there was an excess withdrawal amount in this example, the withdrawal base needs to be adjusted and a new lower rider withdrawal amount calculated. Had the withdrawal for this example not been more than $8,144, the withdrawal base would remain at $162,889 and the rider withdrawal amount would be $8,144. However, because an excess withdrawal has been taken, the withdrawal base is also reduced (this is the amount the 5% is based on).

In order to supplement the description in the prospectus, the following provides additional information about us and the policy, which may be of interest to a prospective purchaser.
THE POLICYGENERAL PROVISIONS
Owner
The policy shall belong to the owner upon issuance of the policy after completion of an enrollment form and delivery of the initial premium payment. While the annuitant is living, the owner may: (1) assign the policy; (2) surrender the policy; (3) amend or modify the policy with our consent; (4) receive annuity payments or name a payee to receive the payments; and (5) exercise, receive and enjoy every other right and benefit contained in the policy. The exercise of these rights may be subject to the consent of any assignee or irrevocable beneficiary; and of your spouse in a community or marital property state.
Unless we have been notified of a community or marital property interest in the policy, we will rely on our good faith belief that no such interest exists and will assume no responsibility for inquiry.
Note carefully. If the owner predeceases the annuitant and no joint owner, primary beneficiary, or contingent beneficiary is alive or in existence on the date of death, the owner's estate will become the new owner. If no probate estate is opened because the owner has precluded the opening of a probate estate by means of a trust or other instrument, that trust may not exercise ownership rights to the policy. It may be necessary to open a probate estate in order to exercise ownership rights to the policy.
The owner may change the ownership of the policy in a written notice. When this change takes effect, all rights of ownership in the policy will pass to the new owner. A change of ownership may have tax consequences.
When there is a change of owner, the change will not be effective until it is recorded in our records. Once recorded, it will take effect as of the date the owner signs the written notice, subject to any payment we have made or action we have taken before recording the change. Changing the owner does not change the designation of the beneficiary or the annuitant.
Entire Contract
The entire contract consists of the policy and any application, endorsements and riders. If any portion of the policy or rider attached thereto shall be found to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, the remainder shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, but shall have the same force and effect as if the invalid, unenforceable or illegal portion had not been inserted.
Misstatement of Age or Sex
During the Accumulation Phase. If the age of any person whose life or age a benefit provided under a guaranteed benefit has been misstated, any such benefit will be that which would have been purchased on the basis of the correct age. If that person would not have been eligible for that guaranteed benefit at the correct age, (i) the benefit will be rescinded; and (ii) any charges that were deducted for the benefit will be refunded and applied to the total account value of the policy.
We reserve the right to terminate the contract at any time if it discovers a misstatement or fraudulent representation of any information provided in connection with the issuance or ongoing administration of the policy.
After the Annuity Commencement Date. We may require proof of the annuitant’s or owner’s age and/or sex before any payments associated with any benefits are made. If the age or sex of the annuitant and/or owner has been misstated, we will change the payment associated with any benefits payable to that which the premium payments would have purchased for the correct age or sex. The dollar amount of any underpayment made by us shall be paid in full with the next payment due such person, beneficiary, or payee. The dollar amount of any overpayment made by us due to any misstatement shall be deducted from payments subsequently accruing to such person or beneficiary. Any underpayment or overpayment will include interest specified in your policy, from the date of the wrong payment to the date of the adjustment. The age of the annuitant or owner may be established at any time by the submission of proof satisfactory to us.
Reallocation of Annuity Units After the Annuity Commencement Date
After the annuity commencement date, you may reallocate the value of a designated number of annuity units of a subaccount then credited to a policy into an equal value of annuity units of one or more other subaccounts or the fixed account. The reallocation shall be based on the relative value of the annuity units of the account(s) or subaccount(s) at the end of the market day on the next payment date. The minimum amount which may be reallocated is the lesser of (1) $10 of monthly income or (2) the entire monthly income of the annuity units in the account or subaccount from which the transfer is being made. If the monthly income of the
3

annuity units remaining in an account or subaccount after a reallocation is less than $10, we reserve the right to include the value of those annuity units as part of the transfer. The request must be in writing to our Administrative Office. There is no charge assessed in connection with such reallocation. A reallocation of annuity units may be made up to four times in any given policy year.
After the annuity commencement date, no transfers may be made from the fixed account to the separate account.
Annuity Payment Options
During the lifetime of the annuitant and before the annuity commencement date, the owner may choose an annuity payment option or change the election, but notice of any election or change of election must be received by us in good order at least thirty (30) days before the annuity commencement date (elections less than 30 days require prior approval). If no election is made before the annuity commencement date, annuity payments will be made under (1) life income with level (fixed) payments for 10 years certain, using the existing adjusted policy value of the fixed account, or (2) life income with variable payments for 10 years certain using the existing policy value of the separate account, or (3) in a combination of (1) and (2). The default options may be restricted with respect to qualified policies.
The person who elects an annuity payment option can also name one or more beneficiaries to receive any unpaid, guaranteed amount at the death of the annuitant. Naming these beneficiaries cancels any prior choice of a beneficiary.
A payee who did not elect the annuity payment option does not have the right to advance or assign payments, take the payments in one sum, or make any other change. However, the payee may be given the right to do one or more of these things if the person who elects the option tells us in writing and we agree.
Adjusted Age. For the Life Income and Joint and Survivor annuity payment options, the adjusted age is the annuitant's actual age nearest birthday, on the annuity commencement date, adjusted as described in your policy. This adjustment assumes an increase in life expectancy, and therefore it results in lower payments than without such an adjustment.
Variable Payment Options. The dollar amount of the first variable annuity payment will be determined in accordance with the annuity payment rates set forth in the applicable table contained in the policy. For annuity payments the tables are based on a 3% effective annual AIR and the “Annuity 2000” (male, female and unisex if required by law) mortality table projected for improvement using projection scale G. The rates were projected dynamically using an assumed annuity commencement date of 2020. the “Annuity 2000” mortality rates are adjusted based on improvements in mortality to more appropriately reflect increased longevity. The dollar amount of additional variable annuity payments will vary based on the investment performance of the subaccount(s) of the separate account selected by the annuitant or beneficiary. For certain qualified policies the use of unisex mortality tables may be required.
Determination of the First Variable Payment. The amount of the first variable payment depends upon the sex (if consideration of sex is allowed under state and Federal law) and adjusted age of the annuitant.
Determination of Additional Variable Payments. All variable annuity payments other than the first are calculated using annuity units which are credited to the policy. The number of annuity units to be credited in respect of a particular subaccount is determined by dividing that portion of the first variable annuity payment attributable to that subaccount by the annuity unit value of that subaccount on the annuity commencement date. The number of annuity units of each particular subaccount credited to the policy then remains fixed, assuming no transfers to or from that subaccount occur. The dollar value of variable annuity units in the chosen subaccount will increase or decrease reflecting the investment experience of the chosen subaccount. The dollar amount of each variable annuity payment after the first may increase, decrease or remain constant. This amount is equal to the sum of the amounts determined by multiplying the number of annuity units of each particular subaccount credited to the policy by the annuity unit value for the particular subaccount on the date the payment is made.
Death Benefit
Due proof of death of the annuitant is proof that the annuitant died prior to the commencement of annuity payments. A certified copy of a death certificate, a certified copy of a decree of a court of competent jurisdiction as to the finding of death, a written statement by the attending physician, or any other proof satisfactory to us will constitute due proof of death. If the annuitant dies after the annuity commencement date, no death benefit is payable and the amount payable will depend on the annuity income option.
Upon receipt in good order of this proof and an election of a method of settlement and return of the policy, the death benefit generally will be paid within seven days, or as soon thereafter as we have sufficient information about the beneficiary(ies) to make the payment. The beneficiary may receive the amount payable in a lump sum cash benefit, or, subject to any limitation under any state or federal law, rule, or regulation, under one of the annuity payment options described above, unless a settlement agreement is effective at the death of the owner preventing such election.
4

If an owner is not an annuitant, and dies prior to the annuity commencement date, the new owner may surrender the policy at any time for the amount of the cash value. If the new owner is not the deceased owner's spouse, however, the cash value must be distributed within five years after the date of the deceased owner's death, or be used to provide payments to a designated beneficiary within one year of such owner’s death that will be made for life of the beneficiary or for a period not extending beyond the life expectancy of the beneficiary. If the sole new owner is the deceased owner's surviving spouse, such spouse may elect to continue the policy as the new owner instead of receiving the death benefit.
Beneficiary. The beneficiary designation in the enrollment form will remain in effect until changed. The owner may change the designated beneficiary by sending us written notice. The beneficiary's consent to such change is not required unless the beneficiary was irrevocably designated or law requires consent. If an irrevocable beneficiary dies, the owner may then designate a new beneficiary. The change will take effect as of the date the owner signs the written notice, whether or not the owner is living when we receive the notice. We will not be liable for any payment made before the written notice is received. If more than one beneficiary is designated, and the owner fails to specify their interests, they will share equally. If upon the death of the annuitant there is a surviving owner(s), the surviving owner(s) automatically takes the place of any beneficiary designation.
Death of Owner
Federal tax law requires that if any owner (including any joint owner who has become a current owner) dies before the annuity commencement date, then the entire value of the policy must generally be distributed within five years of the date of death of such owner. Certain rules apply where (1) the spouse of the deceased owner is the sole beneficiary, (2) the owner is not a natural person and the primary annuitant dies or is changed, or (3) any owner dies after the annuity commencement date. See the TAX INFORMATION section in the prospectus for more information about these rules. Other rules may apply to qualified policies.
Assignment
During the lifetime of the annuitant you may assign any rights or benefits provided by the policy if your policy is a nonqualified policy. An assignment will not be binding on us until a copy has been filed at our Administrative Office. Your rights and benefits and those of the beneficiary are subject to the rights of the assignee. We assume no responsibility for the validity or effect of any assignment. Any claim made under an assignment shall be subject to proof of interest and the extent of the assignment. An assignment may have tax consequences.
Unless you so direct by filing written notice with us, no beneficiary may assign any payments under the policy before they are due. To the extent permitted by law, no payments will be subject to the claims of any beneficiary's creditors.
Ownership under qualified policies is restricted to comply with the Code.
Evidence of Survival
We reserve the right to require satisfactory evidence that a person is alive if a payment is based on that person being alive. No payment will be made until we receive such evidence.
Non-Participating
The policy will not share in our surplus earnings; no dividends will be paid.
Amendments
No change in the policy is valid unless made in writing by us and approved by one of our officers. No registered representative has authority to change or waive any provision of the policy.
We reserve the right to amend the policies to meet the requirements of the Code, regulations or published rulings. You can refuse such a change by giving written notice, but a refusal may result in adverse tax consequences.
Employee and Agent Purchases
The policy may be acquired by an employee or registered representative of any broker/dealer authorized to sell the policy or their immediate family, or by an officer, director, trustee or bona-fide full-time employee of ours or our affiliated companies or their immediate family. In such a case, we may, at our sole discretion, credit an amount equal to a percentage of each premium payment to the policy due to lower acquisition costs we experience on those purchases. We may offer certain employer sponsored savings plans, reduced fees and charges including, but not limited to, the annual service charge, the surrender charges, the mortality and expense
5

risk fee and the administrative charge for certain sales under circumstances which may result in savings of certain costs and expenses. In addition, there may be other circumstances of which we are not presently aware which could result in reduced sales or distribution expenses. Credits to the policy or reductions in these fees and charges will not be unfairly discriminatory against any owner.
INVESTMENT EXPERIENCE
A “net investment factor” is used to determine the value of accumulation units and annuity units, and to determine annuity payment rates.
Accumulation Units
Allocations of a premium payment directed to a subaccount are credited in the form of accumulation units. Each subaccount has a distinct accumulation unit value. The number of units credited is determined by dividing the premium payment or amount transferred to the subaccount by the accumulation unit value of the subaccount as of the end of the valuation period during which the allocation is made. For each subaccount, the accumulation unit value for a given market day is based on the net asset value of a share of the corresponding portfolio of the underlying fund portfolios less any applicable charges or fees. The investment performance of the portfolio, expenses, and deductions of certain charges affect the value of an accumulation unit.
Upon allocation to the selected subaccount, premium payments are converted into accumulation units of the subaccount. The number of accumulation units to be credited is determined by dividing the dollar amount allocated to each subaccount by the value of an accumulation unit for that subaccount as next determined after the premium payment is received at the Administrative Office or, in the case of the initial premium payment, when the enrollment form is completed, whichever is later. The value of an accumulation unit for each subaccount was arbitrarily established at $10 at the inception of each subaccount. Thereafter, the value of an accumulation unit is determined as of the close of trading on each day the New York Stock Exchange is open for business.
An index (the “net investment factor”) which measures the investment performance of a subaccount during a valuation period, is used to determine the value of an accumulation unit for the next subsequent valuation period. The net investment factor may be greater or less than or equal to one; therefore, the value of an accumulation unit may increase, decrease, or remain the same from one valuation period to the next. You bear this investment risk. The net investment performance of a subaccount and deduction of certain charges affect the accumulation unit value.
The net investment factor for any subaccount for any valuation period is determined by dividing (A + B - C) by (D) and subtracting (E) from the result, where the net result of:
A  the net asset value per share of the shares held in the subaccount determined at the end of the current valuation period, plus
B  the per share amount of any dividend or capital gain distribution made with respect to the shares held in the subaccount if the ex-dividend date occurs during the current valuation period, plus or minus
C  a per share credit or charge for any taxes determined by us to have resulted during the valuation period from the investment operations of the subaccount;
D  is the net asset value per share of the shares held in the subaccount determined as of the end of the immediately preceding valuation period; and
E  is an amount representing the separate account charge and any optional benefit fees, if applicable.

E = The daily deduction for the mortality and expense risk fee and the administrative charge, and any optional benefit fees, if applicable. Assume E total 1.50% on an annual basis; On a daily basis, this equals 0.000041096.
    
Then, the net investment factor = (11.57 + 0 0) - 0.000041096 = Z = 1.014871185
  (11.40)  
Formula for Determining Accumulation Unit Value
Accumulation Unit Value = A * B
Where:  
A = The accumulation unit value for the immediately preceding valuation period.
  Assume A = $X
B = The net investment factor for the current valuation period.
  Assume B = Y
Then, the accumulation unit value = $X * Y = $Z
Annuity Unit Value and Annuity Payment Rates
The amount of variable annuity payments will vary with annuity unit values. Annuity unit values rise if the net investment performance of the subaccount exceeds the assumed investment return of 3% annually. Conversely, annuity unit values fall if the net investment performance of the subaccount is less than the annual assumed investment return. The value of a variable annuity unit in each subaccount was established at $10 on the date operations began for that subaccount. The value of a variable annuity unit on any subsequent business day is equal to A multiplied by B multiplied by C, where:
A  is the variable annuity unit value for the subaccount on the immediately preceding market day;
B  is the net investment factor for that subaccount for the valuation period; and
C  is the assumed investment return adjustment factor for the valuation period.
The assumed investment return adjustment factor for the valuation period is the product of discount factors of .99986634 per day to recognize the 3% effective annual AIR. The valuation period is the period from the close of the immediately preceding market day to the close of the current market day.
The net investment factor for the policy used to calculate the value of a variable annuity unit in each subaccount for the valuation period is determined by dividing (i) by (ii) and subtracting (iii) from the result, where:
(i)  is the result of:
(1) the net asset value of a fund share held in that subaccount determined at the end of the current valuation period; plus
(2) the per share amount of any dividend or capital gain distributions made by the fund for shares held in that subaccount if the ex-dividend date occurs during the valuation period; plus or minus
(3) a per share charge or credit for any taxes reserved for, which we determine to have resulted from the investment operations of the subaccount.
(ii)  is the net asset value of a fund share held in that subaccount determined as of the end of the immediately preceding valuation period.
(iii)  is a factor representing the mortality and expense risk fee and administrative charge. This factor is equal, on an annual basis, to 1.25% of the daily net asset value of shares held in that subaccount.
The dollar amount of subsequent variable annuity payments will depend upon changes in applicable annuity unit values.
7

The annuity payment rates generally vary according to the annuity option elected and the gender and adjusted age of the annuitant at the annuity commencement date. The policy contains a table for determining the adjusted age of the annuitant.
Calculations for Annuity Unit
Value and Variable Annuity Payments
Formula for Determining Annuity Unit Value
Annuity Unit Value = A * B * C
Where:  
A = Annuity unit value for the immediately preceding valuation period.
  Assume A = $X
B = Net investment factor for the valuation period for which the annuity value is being calculated.
  Assume B = Y
C = A factor to neutralize the annual assumed investment return of 3% built into the Annuity Tables used.
  Assume C = Z
Then, the annuity unit value is: $X * Y * Z = $Q
Formula for Determining Amount of
First Monthly Variable Annuity Payment
First monthly variable annuity payment = A * B
  $1,000
    
Where:  
A = The adjusted policy value as of the annuity commencement date.
  Assume A = $X
B = The annuity purchase rate per $1,000 of adjusted policy value based upon the option selected, the sex and adjusted age of the annuitant according to the tables contained in the policy.
  Assume B = $Y
    
Then, the first monthly variable annuity payment = $X * $Y = $Z
  1,000  
Formula for Determining the Number of Annuity Units
Represented by Each Monthly Variable Annuity Payment
Number of annuity units = A
  B
    
Where:  
A = The dollar amount of the first monthly variable annuity payment.
  Assume A = $X
B = The annuity unit value for the valuation date on which the first monthly payment is due.
  Assume B = $Y
    
Then, the number of annuity units = $X = Z
  $Y  
PERFORMANCE
We periodically advertise performance of the various subaccounts. Performance figures might not reflect charges for options, riders, or endorsements. We may disclose at least three different kinds of non-standard performance. First, we may calculate performance by determining the percentage change in the value of an accumulation unit by dividing the increase (decrease) for that unit by the value of the accumulation unit at the beginning of the period. This performance number reflects the deduction of the mortality and
8

expense risk fees and administrative charges. It does not reflect the deduction of any applicable premium taxes, surrender charges, or fees for any optional riders or endorsements. Any such deduction would reduce the percentage increase or make greater any percentage decrease.
Second, advertisements may also include total return figures, which reflect the deduction of the mortality and expense risk fees and administrative charges. These figures may also include or exclude surrender charges. These figures may also reflect any applicable premium enhancement.
Third, for certain investment portfolios, performance may be shown for the period commencing from the inception date of the investment portfolio (i.e., before commencement of subaccount operations). These figures should not be interpreted to reflect actual historical performance of the subaccounts.
Not all types of performance data presented reflect all of the fees and charges that may be deducted (such as fees for optional benefits); performance figures would be lower if these charges were included.
HISTORICAL PERFORMANCE DATA
Money Market Yields
We may from time to time disclose the current annualized yield of the money market subaccount, which invests in the corresponding money market portfolio, for a 7-day period in a manner which does not take into consideration any realized or unrealized gains or losses on shares of the corresponding money market portfolio or on its portfolio securities. This current annualized yield is computed by determining the net change (exclusive of realized gains and losses on the sale of securities and unrealized appreciation and depreciation and income other than investment income) at the end of the 7-day period in the value of a hypothetical account having a balance of 1 unit of the money market subaccount at the beginning of the 7-day period, dividing such net change in account value by the value of the account at the beginning of the period to determine the base period return, and annualizing this quotient on a 365-day basis. The net change in account value reflects (i) net income from the portfolio attributable to the hypothetical account; and (ii) charges and deductions imposed under a policy that are attributable to the hypothetical account. The charges and deductions include the per unit charges for the hypothetical account for (i) the administrative charges and (ii) the mortality and expense risk fee. Current yield will be calculated according to the following formula.
Current Yield = ((NCS * ES)/UV) * (365/7)
Where:    
NCS = The net change in the value of the portfolio (exclusive of realized gains and losses on the sale of securities and unrealized appreciation and depreciation and income other than investment income) for the 7-day period attributable to a hypothetical account having a balance of 1 subaccount unit.
ES = Per unit expenses of the subaccount for the 7-day period.
UV = The unit value on the first day of the 7-day period.
Because of the charges and deductions imposed under a policy, the yield for the money market subaccount will be lower than the yield for the corresponding money market portfolio. The yield calculations do not reflect the effect of any premium taxes. The yield calculations also do not reflect surrender charges that may be applicable to a particular policy. Surrender charges range from 9% to 0% (depending on which share class you select) of the amount of premium payments surrendered based on the number of years since the premium payment was made. Surrender charges are based on the number of years since the date the premium payment was made, not the policy issue date.
9

We may also disclose the effective yield of the money market subaccount for the same 7-day period, determined on a compounded basis. The effective yield is calculated by compounding the base period return according to the following formula.
Effective Yield = (1 + ((NCS - ES)/UV))365/7 - 1
Where:    
NCS = The net change in the value of the portfolio (exclusive of realized gains and losses on the sale of securities and unrealized appreciation and depreciation and income other than investment income) for the 7-day period attributable to a hypothetical account having a balance of one subaccount unit.
ES = Per unit expenses of the subaccount for the 7-day period.
UV = The unit value on the first day of the 7-day period.
The yield on amounts held in the money market subaccount normally will fluctuate on a daily basis. Therefore, the disclosed yield for any given past period is not an indication or representation of future yields or rates of return. The money market subaccount's actual yield is affected by changes in interest rates on money market securities, average portfolio maturity of the corresponding money market portfolio, the types and quality of portfolio securities held by the corresponding money market portfolio and its operating expenses.
Total Returns
We may from time to time also advertise or disclose total returns for one or more of the subaccounts for various periods of time. One of the periods of time will include the period measured from the date the subaccount commenced operations. When a subaccount has been in operation for 1, 5 and 10 years, respectively, the total return for these periods will be provided. Total returns for other periods of time may from time to time also be disclosed. Total returns represent the average annual compounded rates of return that would equate an initial investment of $1,000 to the redemption value of that investment as of the last day of each of the periods. The ending date for each period for which total return quotations are provided will be for the most recent month end practicable, considering the type and media of the communication and will be stated in the communication.
Total returns will be calculated using subaccount unit values which we calculate on each market day based on the performance of the separate account's underlying fund portfolio and the deductions for the mortality and expense risk fee and the administrative charges. Total return calculations will reflect the effect of surrender charges that may be applicable to a particular period. The total return will then be calculated according to the following formula.
P (1 + T)N = ERV
Where:    
T = The average annual total return net of subaccount recurring charges.
ERV = The ending redeemable value of the hypothetical account at the end of the period.
P = A hypothetical initial payment of $1,000.
N = The number of years in the period.
Other Performance Data
We may from time to time also disclose average annual total returns in a non-standard format in conjunction with the standard format described above.
We may from time to time also disclose cumulative total returns in conjunction with the standard format described above. The cumulative returns will be calculated using the following formula except that the surrender charge percentage will be assumed to be 0%.
CTR = (ERV / P)-1
Where:    
CTR = The cumulative total return net of subaccount recurring charges for the period.
ERV = The ending redeemable value of the hypothetical investment at the end of the period.
P = A hypothetical initial payment of $1,000.
All non-standard performance data will only be advertised if the standard performance data is also disclosed.
10

Adjusted Historical Performance Data
From time to time, sales literature or advertisements may quote average annual total returns for periods prior to the date a particular subaccount commenced operations. Such performance information for the subaccounts will be calculated based on the performance of the various portfolios and the assumption that the subaccounts were in existence for the same periods as those indicated for the portfolios, with the level of policy charges that are currently in effect.
PUBLISHED RATINGS
We may from time to time publish in advertisements, sales literature and reports to owners, the ratings and other information assigned to us by one or more independent rating organizations such as A.M. Best Company, Standard & Poor's Insurance Ratings Services, Moody's Investors Service and Fitch Financial Ratings. The purpose of the ratings is to reflect our financial strength. The ratings should not be considered as bearing on the investment performance of assets held in the separate account or of the safety or riskiness of an investment in the separate account. Each year the A.M. Best Company reviews the financial status of thousands of insurers, culminating in the assignment of Best's Ratings. These ratings reflect their current opinion of the relative financial strength and operating performance of an insurance company in comparison to the norms of the life/health insurance industry. In addition, these ratings may be referred to in advertisements or sales literature or in reports to owners. These ratings are opinions of an operating insurance company's financial capacity to meet the obligations of its insurance policies in accordance with their terms.
STATE REGULATION OF US
We are subject to the laws of jurisdiction governing insurance companies and to regulation by the jurisdiction Department of Insurance. An annual statement in a prescribed form is filed with the Department of Insurance each year covering our operations for the preceding year and our financial condition as of the end of such year. Regulation by the Department of Insurance includes periodic examination to determine our contract liabilities and reserves so that the Department may determine the items are correct. Our books and accounts are subject to review by the Department of Insurance at all times, and a full examination of our operations are conducted periodically by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners. In addition, we are subject to regulation under the insurance laws of other jurisdictions in which it may operate.
ADMINISTRATION
We perform administrative services for the policies. These services include issuance of the policies, maintenance of records concerning the policies, and certain valuation services.
RECORDS AND REPORTS
We will maintain all records and accounts relating to the separate account. As presently required by the 1940 Act, as amended, and regulations promulgated thereunder, we will mail to all owners at their last known address of record, at least annually, reports containing such information as may be required under that Act or by any other applicable law or regulation. Owners will also receive confirmation of each financial transaction and any other reports required by law or regulation. However, for certain routine transactions (for example, regular monthly premiums deducted from your checking account, or regular annuity payments we send to you) you may only receive quarterly confirmations.
DISTRIBUTION OF THE POLICIES
We have entered into a principal underwriting agreement with our affiliate, Transamerica Capital, Inc. (“TCI”), for the distribution and sale of the policies. We may reimburse TCI for certain expenses it incurs in order to pay for the distribution of the policies (e.g., commissions payable to selling firms selling the Policies, as described below).
TCI's home office is located at 4600 S. Syracuse St. Suite 1100 Denver, Colorado 80237-2719. TCI is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Aegon USA. TCI is registered as a broker-dealer with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and is a member of Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”). TCI is not a member of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation.
We currently offer the policies on a continuous basis. We anticipate continuing to offer the policies, but reserve the right to discontinue the offering. The policies are offered to the public through sales representatives of broker-dealers (“selling firms”) that have entered into selling agreements with us and with TCI. TCI compensates these selling firms for their services. Sales representatives with these selling firms are appointed as our insurance agents.
11

We and our affiliates provide paid-in capital to TCI and pay for TCI's operating and other expenses, including overhead, legal and accounting fees. We also pay TCI an “override” payment based on the pricing of the product which becomes part of TCI's assets. In addition, we pay commission to TCI for policy sales; these commissions are passed through to the selling firms with TCI not retaining any portion of the commissions. During fiscal year 2014 and 2013 the amounts paid to TCI in connection with all policies sold through the Transamerica Life Insurance Company separate account were $364,566,103 and $212,971,232 . During fiscal year 2014 and 2013 the amounts paid to TCI in connection with all policies sold through Transamerica Financial Life Insurance Company separate account were $41,898,625 and $44,481.
We and/or TCI or another affiliate may pay certain selling firms additional cash amounts for: (1) “preferred product” treatment of the policies in their marketing programs, which may include marketing services and increased access to their sales representatives; (2) sales promotions relating to the policies; (3) costs associated with sales conferences and educational seminars for their sales representatives; and (4) other sales expenses of the selling firms. We and/or TCI may make bonus payments to certain selling firms based on aggregate sales or persistency standards. These additional payments are not offered to all selling firms, and the terms of any particular agreement governing the payments may vary among selling firms.
VOTING RIGHTS
To the extent required by law, we will vote the underlying fund portfolios' shares held by the separate account at regular and special shareholder meetings of the underlying fund portfolios in accordance with instructions received from persons having voting interests in the portfolios, although none of the underlying fund portfolios hold regular annual shareholder meetings. If, however, the 1940 Act or any regulation thereunder should be amended or if the present interpretation thereof should change, and as a result we will determine that it is permitted to vote the underlying fund portfolios shares in its own right, it may elect to do so.
Before the annuity commencement date, you hold the voting interest in the selected portfolios. The number of votes that you have the right to instruct will be calculated separately for each subaccount. The number of votes that you have the right to instruct for a particular subaccount will be determined by dividing your policy value in the subaccount by the net asset value per share of the corresponding portfolio in which the subaccount invests. Fractional shares will be counted.
After the annuity commencement date, you have the voting interest, and the number of votes decreases as annuity payments are made and as the reserves for the policy decrease. The person's number of votes will be determined by dividing the reserve for the policy allocated to the applicable subaccount by the net asset value per share of the corresponding portfolio. Fractional shares will be counted.
The number of votes that you have the right to instruct will be determined as of the date established by the underlying fund portfolio for determining shareholders eligible to vote at the meeting of the underlying fund portfolio. We will solicit voting instructions by sending you, or other persons entitled to vote, requests for instructions prior to that meeting in accordance with procedures established by the underlying fund portfolio. Portfolio shares as to which no timely instructions are received, and shares held by us in which you, or other persons entitled to vote have no beneficial interest, will be voted in proportion to the voting instructions that are received with respect to all policies participating in the same subaccount.
Each person having a voting interest in a subaccount will receive proxy material, reports, and other materials relating to the appropriate portfolio.
OTHER PRODUCTS
We make other variable annuity policies available that may also be funded through the separate account. These variable annuity policies may have different features, such as different investment choices or charges.
CUSTODY OF ASSETS
We hold assets of each of the subaccounts. The assets of each of the subaccounts are segregated and held separate and apart from the assets of the other subaccounts and from our general account assets. We maintain records of all purchases and redemptions of shares of the underlying fund portfolios held by each of the subaccounts. Additional protection for the assets of the separate account is afforded by our fidelity bond, presently in the amount of $5,000,000, covering the acts of our officers and employees.

Independent Auditor’s Report

To the Board of Directors of

Transamerica Life Insurance Company

We have audited the accompanying statutory financial statements of Transamerica Life Insurance Company, which comprise the statutory balance sheet as of December 31, 2014, and the related statutory statements of operations and changes in capital and surplus, and cash flows for the year then ended.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with the accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Insurance Division, Department of Commerce, of the State of Iowa. 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.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit 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 financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on our judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. 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 Insurance Division, Department of Commerce, of the State of Iowa, 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 31,2014, 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 surplus of the Company as of December 31, 2014, 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 Insurance Division, Department of Commerce, of the State of Iowa described in Note 1.

Other Matter

Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying Summary of Investments-Other than Investments in Related Parties, Supplementary Insurance Information, and Reinsurance Schedules as of December 31, 2014 and for the year then ended are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the financial statements. The Summary of Investments-Other than Investments in Related Parties, Supplementary Insurance Information, and Reinsurance Schedules are the responsibility of management and were derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements. The effects on the Summary of Investments-Other than Investments in Related Parties, Supplementary Insurance Information, and Reinsurance Schedules of the variances between the statutory basis of accounting and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, although not reasonably determinable, are presumed to be material. As a consequence, the Summary of Investments-Other than Investments in Related Parties, Supplementary Insurance Information, and Reinsurance Schedules do not present fairly, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, such information of the Company as of December 31, 2014 and for the year then ended. The Summary of Investments-Other than Investments in Related Parties, Supplementary Insurance Information, and Reinsurance Schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves and other additional procedures, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the of Summary Investments-Other than Investments in Related Parties, Supplementary Insurance Information, and Reinsurance Schedules are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

Auditor’s responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’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 entity’s internal control.

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 meet the requirements of Iowa the financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Insurance Division, Department of Commerce, of the State of Iowa, which practices differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The variances between such practices and U.S. generally accepted accounting principles are described in Note 1. The effects on the accompanying financial statements of these variances are not reasonably determinable but are presumed to be material.

1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Transamerica Life Insurance Company (the Company) is a stock life insurance company owned by Transamerica Corporation (74.01% of preferred shares), AEGON USA, LLC (AEGON) (25.99% of preferred shares) and Transamerica International Holdings, Inc. (TIHI) (100% of common shares). TIHI is a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of AEGON. Both Transamerica Corporation and AEGON are indirect, wholly owned subsidiaries of Aegon N.V., a holding company organized under the laws of The Netherlands.

Nature of Business

The Company sells individual non-participating whole life, endowment and term contracts, structured settlements, pension products and reinsurance, as well as a broad line of single fixed and flexible premium annuity products, guaranteed interest contracts and funding agreements. In addition, the Company offers group life, universal life, credit life, and individual and specialty health coverages. The Company is licensed in 49 states and the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico and US Virgin Islands. Sales of the Company’s products are primarily through a network of agents, brokers and financial institutions.

Basis of Presentation

The preparation of financial statements of insurance companies requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Such estimates and assumptions could change in the future as more information becomes known, which could impact the amounts reported and disclosed herein.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Insurance Division, Department of Commerce, of the State of Iowa, which practices differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). The more significant variances from GAAP are:

Investments: Investments in bonds and mandatory redeemable preferred stocks are reported at amortized cost or fair value based on their National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) rating; for GAAP, such fixed maturity investments would be designated at purchase as held-to-maturity, trading or available-for-sale. Held-to-maturity fixed investments would be reported at amortized cost, and the remaining fixed maturity investments would be reported at fair value with unrealized holding gains and losses reported in earnings for those designated as trading and as a separate component of other comprehensive income (OCI) for those designated as available-for-sale. Fair value for GAAP is based on indices, third party pricing services, brokers, external fund managers and internal models. For statutory reporting, the NAIC allows insurance companies to report the fair value determined by the Securities Valuation Office of the NAIC (SVO) or determine the fair value by using a permitted valuation method.

All single class and multi-class mortgage-backed/asset-backed securities (e.g., CMOs) are adjusted for the effects of changes in prepayment assumptions on the related accretion of discount or amortization of premium of such securities using either the retrospective or prospective methods. If the fair value of the mortgage-backed/asset-backed security is less than amortized cost, an entity shall assess whether the impairment is other-than-temporary. An other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) is considered to have occurred if the fair value of the mortgage-backed/asset-backed security is less than its amortized cost basis and the entity intends to sell the security or the entity does not have the intent and ability to hold the security for a period of time sufficient to recover the amortized cost basis. An OTTI is also considered to have occurred if the discounted estimated future cash flows are less than the amortized cost basis of the security.

If it is determined an OTTI has occurred as a result of the cash flow analysis, the security is written down to the discounted estimated future cash flows. If an OTTI has occurred due to intent to sell or lack of intent and ability to hold, the security is written down to fair value.

For GAAP, all securities, purchased or retained, that represent beneficial interests in securitized assets (e.g., CMO, CBO, CDO, CLO, MBS and ABS securities), other than high credit quality securities, are adjusted using the prospective method when there is a change in estimated future cash flows. If high credit quality securities are adjusted, the retrospective method is used. If it is determined that a decline in fair value is other-than-temporary and the entity intends to sell the security or more likely than not will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current period credit loss, the OTTI is recognized in earnings equal to the entire difference between the amortized cost basis and its fair value at the impairment date. If the entity does not intend to sell the security and it is not more likely than not that the entity will be required to sell the security before recovery, the OTTI should be separated into a) the amount representing the credit loss, which is recognized in earnings, and b) the amount related to all other factors, which is recognized in OCI, net of applicable taxes.

Derivative instruments used in hedging transactions that meet the criteria of an effective hedge are valued and reported in a manner that is consistent with the hedged asset or liability. Embedded derivatives are not accounted for separately from the host contract. Derivative instruments used in hedging transactions that do not meet or no longer meet the criteria of an effective hedge are accounted for at fair value, and the changes in the fair value are recorded in unassigned surplus as unrealized gains and losses. Under GAAP, the effective and ineffective

Table of Contents

(Dollars in Thousands, Except per Share amounts)

 

portions of a single hedge are accounted for separately, and the change in fair value for cash flow hedges is credited or charged directly to a separate component of OCI rather than to income as required for fair value hedges, and an embedded derivative within a contract that is not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risk of the host contract is accounted for separately from the host contract and valued and reported at fair value.

Derivative instruments are also used in replication (synthetic asset) transactions. In these transactions, the derivative is valued in a manner consistent with the cash investment and replicated asset. For GAAP, the derivative is reported at fair value, with the changes in fair value reported in income.

Investments in real estate are reported net of related obligations rather than on a gross basis as for GAAP. Real estate owned and occupied by the Company is included in investments rather than reported as an operating asset as under GAAP, and investment income and operating expenses for statutory reporting include rent for the Company’s occupancy of those properties. Changes between depreciated cost and admitted amounts are credited or charged directly to unassigned surplus rather than to income as would be required under GAAP.

Valuation allowances are established for mortgage loans, if necessary, based on the difference between the net value of the collateral, determined as the fair value of the collateral less estimated costs to obtain and sell, and the recorded investment in the mortgage loan. Under GAAP, such allowances are based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or, if foreclosure is probable, on the estimated fair value of the collateral.

The initial valuation allowance and subsequent changes in the allowance for mortgage loans are charged or credited directly to unassigned surplus as part of the change in asset valuation reserve (AVR), rather than being included as a component of earnings as would be required under GAAP.

Valuation Reserves: Under a formula prescribed by the NAIC, the Company defers the portion of realized capital gains and losses on sales of fixed income investments, principally bonds and mortgage loans, attributable to changes in the general level of interest rates and amortizes those deferrals over the remaining period to maturity of the bond or mortgage loan based on groupings of individual securities sold in five year bands. That net deferral is reported as the interest maintenance reserve (IMR) in the accompanying balance sheets. Realized capital gains and losses are reported in income net of federal income tax and transfers to the IMR. Under GAAP, realized capital gains and losses are reported in the statement of operations on a pre-tax basis in the period that the assets giving rise to the gains or losses are sold.

The AVR provides a valuation allowance for invested assets. The AVR is determined by an NAIC prescribed formula with changes reflected directly in unassigned surplus; AVR is not recognized for GAAP.

Subsidiaries: The accounts and operations of the Company’s subsidiaries are not consolidated with the accounts and operations of the Company as would be required under GAAP.

Policy Acquisition Costs: The costs of acquiring and renewing business are expensed when incurred. Under GAAP, incremental costs directly related to the successful acquisition of traditional life insurance and certain long-duration accident and health insurance, to the extent recoverable from future policy revenues, would be deferred and amortized over the premium-paying period of the related policies using assumptions consistent with those used in computing policy benefit reserves; for universal life insurance and investment products, to the extent recoverable from future gross profits, deferred policy acquisition costs are amortized generally in proportion to the present value of expected gross profits from surrender charges and investment, mortality and expense margins.

Value of Business Acquired: Under GAAP, value of business acquired (VOBA) is an intangible asset resulting from a business combination that represents the excess of book value over the estimated fair value of acquired insurance, annuity, and investment-type contracts in-force at the acquisition date. The estimated fair value of the acquired liabilities is based on projections, by each block of business, of future contracts and contract changes, premiums, mortality and morbidity, separate account performance, surrenders, operation expenses, investment returns, nonperformance risk adjustment and other factors. VOBA is not recognized under NAIC SAP.

Separate Accounts with Guarantees: Some of the Company’s separate accounts provide policyholders with a guaranteed return. 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. These separate accounts are included in the general account for GAAP due to the nature of the guaranteed return.

Nonadmitted Assets: Certain assets designated as “nonadmitted”, primarily net deferred tax assets and other assets not specifically identified as an admitted asset within the NAIC Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual (NAIC SAP), are excluded from the accompanying balance sheets and are charged directly to unassigned surplus. Under GAAP, such assets are included in the balance sheet to the extent that they are not impaired.

Universal Life and Annuity Policies: Revenues for universal life and annuity policies with mortality or morbidity risk (including annuities with purchase rate guarantees) consist of the entire premium received. Benefits incurred represent surrenders and death benefits paid and the change in policy reserves. Premiums received and benefits incurred for annuity policies without mortality or morbidity risk and guaranteed interest in group annuity contracts are recorded directly to a policy reserve account using deposit accounting, without recognizing premium income or benefits expense. Interest on these policies is reflected in other benefits. Under GAAP, for universal life policies, premiums received in excess of policy charges would not be recognized as premium revenue and benefits would represent interest credited to the account values and the excess of benefits paid over the policy account value. Under GAAP, for all annuity policies without significant mortality risk, premiums received and benefits paid would be recorded directly to the reserve liability.

Benefit Reserves: Certain policy reserves are calculated based on statutorily required interest and mortality assumptions rather than on estimated expected experience or actual account balances as would be required under GAAP.

Reinsurance: Any reinsurance amounts deemed to be uncollectible have been written off through a charge to operations. In addition, a liability for reinsurance balances would be established for unsecured policy reserves ceded to reinsurers not authorized to assume such business. Changes to the liability are credited or charged directly to unassigned surplus. Under GAAP, an allowance for amounts deemed uncollectible would be established through a charge to earnings.

Losses associated with an indemnity reinsurance transaction are reported within income when incurred rather than being deferred and amortized over the remaining life of the underlying reinsured contracts as would be required under GAAP.

Policy and contract liabilities ceded to reinsurers have been reported as reductions of the related reserves rather than as assets as would be required under GAAP.

Commissions allowed by reinsurers on business ceded are reported as income when incurred rather than being deferred and amortized with deferred policy acquisition costs as required under GAAP.

Under GAAP, for certain reinsurance agreement whereby assets are retained by the ceding insurer (such as funds withheld or modified coinsurance) and a return is paid based on the performance of underlying investments, the liabilities for these reinsurance arrangements must be adjusted to reflect the fair value of the invested assets. The NAIC SAP does not contain a similar requirement.

Deferred Income Taxes: The Company computes deferred income taxes in accordance with Statement of Statutory Accounting Principle (SSAP) No. 101, Income Taxes, A Replacement of SSAP No. 10R and SSAP No. 10. Under SSAP No. 101, admitted adjusted deferred income tax assets are limited to 1) the amount of federal income taxes paid in prior years that can be recovered through loss carrybacks for existing temporary differences that reverse during a timeframe corresponding with the Internal Revenue Service tax loss carryback provisions, not to exceed three years, plus 2) the amount of adjusted gross deferred income tax assets expected to be realized within three years limited to an amount that is no greater than 15% of current period’s adjusted statutory capital and surplus, plus 3) the amount of remaining adjusted gross deferred income tax assets that can be offset against existing gross deferred income tax liabilities after considering the character (i.e., ordinary versus capital) and reversal patterns of the deferred tax assets and liabilities. The remaining adjusted deferred income tax assets are nonadmitted.

Deferred income taxes do not include amounts for state taxes. Under GAAP, state taxes are included in the computation of deferred income taxes, a deferred income tax asset is recorded for the amount of gross deferred income tax assets expected to be realized in all future years, and a valuation allowance is established for deferred income tax assets not realizable.

Goodwill: Goodwill is admitted subject to an aggregate limitation of ten percent of the capital and surplus in the most recently filed annual statement excluding electronic data processing equipment, operating system software, net deferred income tax assets and net positive goodwill. Excess goodwill is nonadmitted. Goodwill is amortized over ten years. Under GAAP, goodwill is measured as the excess of the consideration transferred plus the fair value of any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date as compared to the fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized but is assessed for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if circumstances indicate that a possible impairment has occurred.

Policyholder Dividends: Policyholder dividends are recognized when declared rather than over the term of the related policies as would be required under GAAP.

Surplus Notes: Surplus notes are reported as surplus rather than as liabilities as would be required under GAAP.

Statements of Cash Flow: Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments in the statements of cash flow represent cash balances and investments with initial maturities of one year or less. Under GAAP, the corresponding caption of cash and cash equivalents includes cash balances and investments with initial maturities of three months or less.

Securities Lending Assets and Liabilities: For securities lending programs, cash collateral received which may be sold or repledged by the Company is reflected as a one-line entry on the balance sheet (securities lending reinvested collateral assets) and a corresponding liability is established to record the obligation to return the cash collateral. Collateral received which may not be sold or repledged is not recorded on the Company’s balance sheet. Under GAAP, the reinvested collateral is included within invested assets (i.e. it is not one-line reported).

The effects of the foregoing variances from GAAP on the accompanying statutory-basis financial statements have not been determined by the Company, but are presumed to be material.

Other significant accounting policies are as follows:

Investments

Investments in bonds, except those to which the SVO has ascribed an NAIC designation of 6, are reported at amortized cost using the interest method.

Hybrid securities, as defined by the NAIC, are securities designed with characteristics of both debt and equity and provide protection to the issuer’s senior note holders. These securities meet the definition of a bond, in accordance with SSAP No. 26, Bonds, excluding Loan-backed and Structured Securities and therefore, are reported at amortized cost or fair value based upon their NAIC rating.

Single class and multi-class mortgage-backed/asset-backed securities are valued at amortized cost using the interest method, including anticipated prepayments, except for those with an initial NAIC designation of 6, which are valued at the lower of amortized cost or fair value. Prepayment assumptions are obtained from dealer surveys or internal estimates and are based on the current interest rate and economic environment. The retrospective adjustment method is used to value all such securities, except principal-only and interest-only securities, which are valued using the prospective method.

The Company closely monitors below investment grade holdings and those investment grade issuers where the Company has concerns. The Company also regularly monitors industry sectors. The Company considers relevant facts and circumstances in evaluating whether the impairment is other-than-temporary including: (1) the probability of the Company collecting all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the security in effect at the date of acquisition; (2) the Company’s decision to sell a security prior to its maturity at an amount below its carrying amount; and (3) the Company’s ability to hold a structured security for a period of time to allow for recovery of the value to its carrying amount. Additionally, financial condition, near term prospects of the issuer and nationally recognized credit rating changes are monitored. Non-structured securities in unrealized loss positions that are considered other-than-temporary are written down to fair value. Structured securities considered other-than-temporarily impaired are written down to discounted estimated cash flows if the impairment is the result of cash flow analysis. If the Company has an intent to sell or lack of ability to hold a structured security, it is written down to fair value. For structured securities, cash flow trends and underlying levels of collateral are monitored. The Company will record a charge to the statement of operations to the extent that these securities are determined to be other-than-temporarily impaired.

Investments in both affiliated and unaffiliated preferred stocks in good standing are reported at cost or amortized cost. Investments in preferred stocks not in good standing are reported at the lower of cost or fair value, and the related net unrealized capital gains (losses) are reported in unassigned surplus along with any adjustment for federal income taxes.

Common stocks of unaffiliated companies, which include shares of mutual funds, are reported at fair value and the related net unrealized capital gains or losses are reported in unassigned surplus along with any adjustment for federal income taxes.

If the Company determines that a decline in the fair value of a common stock or a preferred stock is other-than-temporary, the Company writes it down to fair value as the new cost basis and the amount of the write down is accounted for as a realized loss in the statement of operations. The Company considers the following factors in determining whether a decline in value is other-than-temporary: (a) the financial condition and prospects of the issuer; (b) whether or not the Company has made a decision to sell the investment; and (c) the length of time and extent to which the value has been below cost.

Common stocks of affiliated insurance subsidiaries are reported based on underlying statutory equity plus the admitted portion of goodwill. Common stocks of affiliated noninsurance subsidiaries are reported based on underlying audited GAAP equity. The net change in the subsidiaries’ equity is included in the change in net unrealized capital gains or losses, reported in unassigned surplus along with any adjustment for federal income taxes.

The Company is restricted to trading Primus Guaranty, Ltd (Primus) a common stock holding, due to its ownership interest, which would require special securities filings prior to executing any purchase or sale transactions in regard to these securities. The Company’s interest in Primus does not meet the definition of an affiliate, and is therefore accounted for as an unaffiliated common stock investment. The carrying amount in Primus, which is carried at fair value, as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 was $1,242 and $45,463, respectively.

Short-term investments include investments with remaining maturities of one year or less at the time of acquisition and are principally stated at amortized cost.

Cash equivalents are short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and are principally stated at amortized cost.

Mortgage loans are reported at unpaid principal balances, less an allowance for impairment. A mortgage loan is considered to be impaired when it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all principal and interest amounts due according to the contractual terms of the mortgage agreement. When management determines that the impairment is other-than-temporary, the mortgage loan is written down to realizable value and a realized loss is recognized.

Land is reported at cost. Real estate occupied by the Company is reported at depreciated cost net of encumbrances. Real estate held for the production of income is reported at depreciated cost net of related obligations. Real estate that the Company classifies as held for sale is measured at lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the properties. The Company recognizes an impairment loss if the Company determines that the carrying amount of the real estate is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. The Company deems that the carrying amount of the asset is not recoverable if the carrying amount exceeds the sum of undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and disposition. The impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the asset’s carrying value exceeds its fair value.

Policy loans are reported at unpaid principal balances.

The Company has minority ownership interests in joint ventures and limited partnerships. The Company carries these investments based on its interest in the underlying audited GAAP equity of the investee. For a decline in the fair value of an investment in a joint venture or limited partnership which is determined to be other-than-temporary, the Company writes it down to fair value as the new cost basis and the amount of the write down is accounted for as a realized loss in the statement of operations. The Company considers an impairment to have occurred if it is probable that the Company will be unable to recover the carrying amount of the investment or if there is evidence indicating inability of the investee to sustain earnings which would justify the carrying amount of the investment.

Investments in Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) properties are valued at amortized cost. Tax credits are recognized in operations in the tax reporting year in which the tax credit is utilized by the Company. Tax credits are carried at amortized cost. The carrying value is amortized over the life of the investment. Amortization is calculated as a ratio of the current year tax credits and tax benefits compared to the total expected tax credits and tax benefits over the life of the investment.

Other “admitted assets” are valued principally at cost, as required or permitted by Iowa Insurance Laws.

Realized capital gains and losses are determined using the specific identification method and are recorded net of related federal income taxes. Changes in admitted asset carrying amounts of bonds, mortgage loans, common and preferred stocks are credited or charged directly to unassigned surplus.

Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. The Company does not accrue income on bonds in default, mortgage loans on real estate in default and/or foreclosure or which are delinquent more than twelve months, or real estate where rent is in arrears for more than three months. Income is also not accrued when collection is uncertain. In addition, accrued interest is excluded from investment income when payment exceeds 90 days past due. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company excluded investment income due and accrued of $1,819 and $1,393, respectively, with respect to such practices.

For dollar repurchase agreements, the Company receives cash collateral in an amount at least equal to the fair value of the securities transferred by the Company in the transaction as of the transaction date. Cash received as collateral will be invested as needed or used for general corporate purposes of the Company.

Derivative Instruments

Overview: The Company may use various derivative instruments (options, caps, floors, swaps, foreign currency forwards and futures) to manage risks related to its ongoing business operations. On the transaction date of the derivative instrument, the Company designates the derivative as either (A) hedging (fair value, foreign currency fair value, cash flow, foreign currency cash flow, forecasted transactions or net investment in a foreign operation), (B) replication, (C) income generation or (D) held for other investment/risk management activities, which do not qualify for hedge accounting under SSAP No. 86, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.

Derivative instruments used in hedging relationships are accounted for on a basis that is consistent with the hedged item (amortized cost or fair value). Derivative instruments used in replication relationships are accounted for on a basis that is consistent with the cash instrument and the replicated asset (amortized cost or fair value). Derivative instruments used in income generation relationships are accounted for on a basis that is consistent with the associated covered asset or underlying interest to which the derivative indicates (amortized cost or fair value). Derivative instruments held for other investment/risk management activities receive fair value accounting.

Derivative instruments are subject to market risk, which is the possibility that future changes in market prices may make the instruments less valuable. The Company uses derivatives as hedges, consequently, when the value of the derivative changes, the value of a corresponding hedged asset or liability will move in the opposite direction. Market risk is a consideration when changes in the value of the derivative and the hedged item do not completely offset (correlation or basis risk) which is mitigated by active measuring and monitoring.

The Company is exposed to credit-related losses in the event of non-performance by counterparties to financial instruments, but it does not expect any counterparties to fail to meet their obligations given their high credit rating of ‘A’ or better. The credit exposure of interest rate swaps and currency swaps is represented by the fair value of contracts, aggregated at a counterparty level, with a positive fair value at the reporting date. The Company has entered into collateral agreements with certain counterparties wherein the counterparty is required to post assets on the Company’s behalf. The posted amount is equal to the difference between the net positive fair value of the contracts and an agreed upon threshold that is based on the credit rating of the counterparty. Inversely, if the net fair value of all contracts with this counterparty is negative, then the Company is required to post assets instead.

Instruments: Interest rate swaps are the primary derivative financial instruments used in the overall asset/liability management process to modify the interest rate characteristics of the underlying asset or liability. These interest rate swaps generally provide for the exchange of the difference between fixed and floating rate amounts based on an underlying notional amount. Typically, no cash is exchanged at the outset of the swap contract and a single net payment is exchanged at each due date. Swaps that meet hedge accounting rules are carried in a manner consistent with the hedged item, generally at amortized cost, on the financial statements. If the swap is terminated prior to maturity, proceeds are exchanged equal to the fair value of the contract. These gains and losses may be included in IMR or AVR if the underlying instrument receives that treatment. Swaps not meeting hedge accounting rules are carried at fair value with fair value adjustments recorded in unassigned surplus.

Interest rate basis swaps are used in the overall asset/liability management process to modify the interest rate characteristics of the underlying liability to mitigate the basis risk of assets and liabilities resetting on different indices. These interest rate swaps generally provide for the exchange of the difference between a floating rate on one index to a floating rate of another index, based upon an underlying notional amount. Typically, no cash is exchanged at the outset of the swap contract and a single net payment is exchanged at each due date. Swaps meeting hedge accounting rules are carried in a manner consistent with the hedged item, generally at amortized cost, on the financial statements. If the swap is terminated prior to maturity, proceeds are exchanged equal to the fair value of the contract. These gains and losses may be included in IMR or AVR if the underlying instrument receives that treatment. Swaps not meeting hedge accounting rules are carried at fair value with fair value adjustments recorded in unassigned surplus.

Cross currency swaps are utilized to mitigate risks when the Company holds foreign denominated assets or liabilities, therefore converting the asset or liability to a U.S. dollar (USD) denominated security. These cross currency swap agreements involve the exchange of two principal amounts in two different currencies at the prevailing currency rate at contract inception. During the life of the swap, the counterparties exchange fixed or floating rate interest payments in the swapped currencies. At maturity, the principal amounts are again swapped at a pre-determined rate of exchange. Each asset or liability is hedged individually where the terms of the swap must meet the terms of the hedged instrument. For swaps qualifying for hedge accounting, the premium or discount is amortized into income over the life of the contract, and the foreign currency translation adjustment is recorded as unrealized gain/loss in unassigned surplus. Swaps not meeting hedge accounting rules are carried at fair value with fair value adjustments recorded in unassigned surplus. If a swap is terminated prior to maturity, proceeds are exchanged equal to the fair value of the contract. These gains and losses may be included in IMR or AVR if the hedged instrument receives that treatment.

Total return swaps are used in the asset/liability management process to mitigate the risk created when the company has issued minimum guarantee insurance contracts linked to an index. These total return swaps generally provide for the exchange of the difference between fixed leg (tied to an equity or interest rate index) and floating leg (tied to LIBOR) amounts based on an underlying notional amount (also tied to the underlying index). Typically, no cash is exchanged at the outset of the swap contract and a single net payment is exchanged each due date. Swaps that meet hedge accounting rules are carried in a manner consistent with the hedged item, generally at amortized cost, on the financial statements. If the swap is terminated prior to maturity, proceeds are exchanged equal to the fair value of the contract. These gains and losses may be included in IMR or AVR if the underlying instrument receives that treatment. Swaps not meeting hedge accounting rules are carried at fair value with fair value adjustments recorded in unassigned surplus.

Variance swaps are used in the asset/liability management process to mitigate the gamma risk created when the Company has issued minimum guarantee insurance contracts linked to an index. These variance swaps are similar to volatility options where the underlying index provides for the market value movements. Variance swaps do not accrue interest. Typically, no cash is exchanged at the outset of initiating the variance swap, and a single receipt or payment occurs at the maturity or termination of the contract. The variance swaps that meet hedge accounting rules are carried in a manner consistent with the hedged item, generally at amortized cost, on the financial statements. If terminated prior to maturity, proceeds are exchanged equal to the fair value of the contract. These gains and losses may be included in IMR or AVR if the underlying instrument receives that treatment. Swaps not meeting hedge accounting rules are carried at fair value with fair value adjustments recorded in unassigned surplus.

Futures contracts are used to hedge the liability risk associated when the Company issues products providing the customer a return based on various global equity market indices. Futures are marked to market on a daily basis whereby a cash payment is made or received by the Company. These payments are recognized as realized gains or losses in the financial statements.

Collars are used in the asset/liability management process to mitigate the residual risk created when the company has issued minimum guarantee insurance contracts linked to an index. These collars are similar to options where the underlying index provides for the market value movements. The collars do not accrue interest. Typically, no cash is exchanged at the onset, and a single receipt or payment occurs at the maturity or termination of the contract. Collars that meet hedge accounting rules are carried in a manner consistent with the hedged item, generally at amortized cost, on the financial statements. If terminated prior to maturity, proceeds are exchanged equal to the fair value of the contract. These gains and losses may be included in IMR or AVR if the underlying instrument receives that treatment. Collars that do not meet hedge accounting rules are carried at fair value with fair value adjustments recorded in unassigned surplus. Collars only pertain to positions held as of December 31, 2013.

Caps are used in the asset/liability management process to mitigate the interest rate risk created due to a rapidly rising interest rate environment. The caps are similar to options where the underlying interest rate index provides for the market value movements. The caps do not accrue interest until the interest rate environment exceeds the caps strike rate. Cash is exchanged at the onset, and a single receipt or payment occurs at the maturity or termination of the contract. Caps that meet hedge accounting rules are carried in a manner consistent with the hedged item, generally at amortized cost, on the financial statements. If terminated prior to maturity, proceeds are exchanged equal to the fair value of the contract. These gains and losses may be included in IMR or AVR if the underlying instrument receives that treatment. Caps that do not meet hedge accounting rules are carried at fair value with fair value adjustments recorded in unassigned surplus.

The Company may sell products with expected benefit payments extending beyond investment assets currently available in the market. Because assets will have to be purchased in the future to fund future liability cash flows, the Company is exposed to the risk of future investments made at lower yields than what is assumed at the time of pricing. Forward-starting interest rate swaps are utilized to lock-in the current forward rate. The accrual of income begins at the forward date, rather than at the inception date. These forward-starting swaps meet hedge accounting rules and are carried at cost in the financial statements. Gains and losses realized upon termination of the forward-starting swap are deferred and used to adjust the basis of the asset purchased in the hedged forecasted period. The basis adjustment is then amortized into income as a yield adjustment to the asset over its life.

The Company issues fixed liabilities that have a guaranteed minimum crediting rate. The Company uses receiver swaption, whereby the swaption is designed to generate cash flows to offset lower yields on assets during a low interest rate environment. The Company pays a single premium at the beginning of the contract that is amortized throughout the life of the swaption. These swaptions are carried at fair value with fair value adjustments recorded in unassigned surplus.

The Company invests in domestic corporate debt securities denominated in U.S. dollars. If the issuers of these debt obligations fail to make timely payments, the value of the investment declines materially. The Company manages credit default risk through the purchase of credit default swaps. As the buyer of credit default protection, the Company will pay a premium to an approved counterparty in exchange for a contingent payment should a defined credit event occur with respect to the underlying reference entity or asset. Typically, the periodic premium or fee is expressed in basis points per notional. Generally, the premium payment for default protection is made periodically, although it may be paid as an up-front fee for short dated transactions. Should a credit event occur, the Company may be required to deliver the reference asset to the counterparty for par. Alternatively, settlement may be in cash. These credit default swaps are carried on the balance sheet at amortized cost. Premium payments made by the Company are recognized as investment expense. If the Company is unable to prove hedge effectiveness, the credit default swaps not meeting hedge accounting rules are carried at fair value with fair value adjustments recorded in unassigned surplus.

A replication transaction is a derivative transaction entered into in conjunction with a cash instrument to reproduce the investment characteristics of an otherwise permissible investment. The Company replicates investment grade corporate bonds or sovereign debt by combining a highly rated security as a cash component with a credit default swap which, in effect, converts the high quality asset into an investment grade corporate asset or a sovereign debt. The benefits of using the swap market to replicate credit include possible enhanced relative values as well as ease of executing larger transactions in a shortened time frame. Generally, a premium is received by the Company on a periodic basis and recognized in investment income. In the event the representative issuer defaults on its debt obligation referenced in the contract, a payment equal to the notional amount of the contract will be made by the Company and recognized as a capital loss.

The Company replicates hybrid fixed to floating treasuries by combining a U.S. Treasury cash component with a forward starting swap which, in effect, converts a fixed U.S. Treasury into a hybrid fixed to floating treasury. The purpose of these replications is to aid duration matching between the treasuries and the supported liabilities. Generally these swaps are carried at amortized cost with periodic interest payments beginning at a future date. Any early terminations are recognized as capital gains or losses. The Company complies with the specific rules established in AVR for replication transactions.

The Company holds some warrants linked to an Argentina Government GDP as part of an authorized workout from the Argentina Brady Bonds. The Company was put into these warrants and did not voluntarily convert into these types of instruments. The Company does not have any downside risk to the warrants, and only receives a payment if the GDP is above a specific threshold. These swaps are marked to fair value in the balance sheet and the fair value adjustment is recorded in capital and surplus.

Separate Accounts

The majority of the separate accounts held by the Company, primarily for individual policyholders as well as for group pension plans, do not have any minimum guarantees, and the investment risks associated with fair value changes are borne by the policyholder. The assets in the accounts, carried at estimated fair value, consist of underlying mutual fund shares, common stocks, long-term bonds and short-term investments.

Certain other separate accounts held by the Company provide a minimum guaranteed return of 3% of the average investment balance to policyholders. The assets consist of long-term bonds and short-term investments which are carried at amortized cost.

Assets held in trust for purchases of variable universal life and annuity contracts and the Company’s corresponding obligation to the contract owners are shown separately in the balance sheets. The assets in the separate accounts are valued at fair value. Income and gains and losses with respect to the assets in the separate accounts accrue to the benefit of the contract owners and, accordingly, the operations of the separate accounts are not included in the accompanying financial statements. The investment risks associated with fair value changes of the separate accounts are borne entirely by the policyholders except in cases where minimum guarantees exist. The Company received variable contract premiums of $13,127,468, $12,450,327 and $9,341,436 in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. In addition, the Company received $978,879, $759,484 and $603,433 in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, related to fees associated with investment management, administration and contractual guarantees for separate accounts.

Surplus funds transferred from the general account to the separate accounts, commonly referred to as seed money, and earnings accumulated on seed money are reported as surplus in the separate accounts until transferred or repatriated to the general account. The transfer of such funds between the separate account and the general account is reported as surplus contributed or withdrawn during the year.

Aggregate Reserves for Policies and Contracts

Life, annuity and accident and health benefit reserves are developed by actuarial methods and are determined based on published tables using statutorily specified interest rates and valuation methods that will provide, in the aggregate, reserves that are greater than or equal to the minimum or guaranteed cash value, or the amount required by law.

The Company waives deduction of deferred fractional premiums upon death of the insured and returns any portion of the final premium for periods beyond the date of death.

The aggregate policy reserves for life insurance policies are based principally upon the 1941, 1958, 1980 and 2001 Commissioner’s Standard Ordinary Mortality and American Experience Mortality Tables. The reserves are calculated using interest rates ranging from 2.00 to 6.00 percent and are computed principally on the Net Level Premium Valuation and the Commissioner’s Reserve Valuation Method. Reserves for universal life policies are based on account balances adjusted for the Commissioner’s Reserve Valuation Method.

Additional premiums are charged or additional mortality charges are assessed for policies issued on substandard lives according to underwriting classification. Generally, mean reserves are determined by computing the regular mean reserve for the plan at the true age and holding, in addition, one-half (1/2) of the extra premium charge for the year. For certain flexible premium and fixed premium universal life insurance products, reserves are calculated utilizing the Commissioner’s Reserve Valuation Method for universal life policies and recognizing any substandard ratings.

Deferred annuity reserves are calculated according to the Commissioner’s Annuity Reserve Valuation Method including excess interest reserves to cover situations where the future interest guarantees plus the decrease in surrender charges are in excess of the maximum valuation rates of interest. Reserves for immediate annuities and supplementary contracts with and without life contingencies are equal to the present value of future payments assuming interest rates ranging from 2.00 to 11.25 percent and mortality rates, where appropriate, from a variety of tables.

Annuity reserves also include guaranteed investment contracts (GICs) and funding agreements classified as life-type contracts as defined in SSAP No. 50, Classifications and Definitions of Insurance or Managed Care Contracts In Force. These liabilities have annuitization options at guaranteed rates and consist of floating interest rate and fixed interest rate contracts. The contract reserves are carried at the greater of the account balance or the value as determined for an annuity with cash settlement option, on a change in fund basis, according to the Commissioner’s Annuity Reserve Valuation Method.

Accident and health policy reserves are equal to the greater of the gross unearned premiums or any required mid-terminal reserves plus net unearned premiums and the present value of amounts not yet due on both reported and unreported claims.

Tabular interest, tabular less actual reserves released and tabular cost have been determined by formula. Tabular interest on funds not involving life contingencies has also been determined primarily by formula.

During 2012, the Company reported a decrease in reserves, net of reinsurance, on account of a change in valuation basis of $1,381 due to changing from the 1980 CSO mortality table to the minimum valuation standard of the 2001 CSO mortality table for a block of joint life universal life with secondary guarantee policies. Partially offsetting this decrease was a $408 increase in reserves on account of a change in valuation basis due to coding in the reserve valuation system reserves which had been held constant since 2008 for paid-up additions on a block of participating policies. The net decrease in reserves of $973 due to the changes in valuation bases has been credited directly to unassigned surplus.

Policy and Contract Claim Reserves

Claim reserves represent the estimated accrued liability for claims reported to the Company and claims incurred but not yet reported through the balance sheet date. These reserves are estimated using either individual case-basis valuations or statistical analysis techniques. These estimates are subject to the effects of trends in claim severity and frequency. The estimates are continually reviewed and adjusted as necessary as experience develops or new information becomes available.

Liability for Deposit-Type Contracts

Deposit-type contracts do not incorporate risk from the death or disability of policyholders. These types of contracts may include GICs, funding agreements and other annuity contracts. Deposits and withdrawals on these contracts are recorded as a direct increase or decrease, respectively, to the liability balance and are not reported as premiums, benefits or changes in reserves in the statement of operations.

The Company issues certain funding agreements with well-defined class-based annuity purchase rates defining either specific or maximum purchase rate guarantees. However, these funding agreements are not issued to or for the benefit of an identifiable individual or group of individuals. These contracts are classified as deposit-type contracts in accordance with SSAP No. 50.

Municipal Repurchase Agreements

Municipal repurchase agreements are investment contracts issued to municipalities that pay either a fixed or floating rate of interest on the guaranteed deposit balance. The floating interest rate is based on a market index. The related liabilities are equal to the policyholder deposit and accumulated interest on the contract.

These municipal repurchase agreements require a minimum of 95% of the fair value of the securities transferred to be maintained as collateral.

Premiums and Annuity Considerations

Revenues for policies with mortality or morbidity risk (including annuities with purchase rate guarantees) consist of the entire premium received and are recognized over the premium paying periods of the related policies. Consideration received and benefits paid for annuity policies without mortality or morbidity risk are recorded using deposit accounting and recorded directly to an appropriate policy reserve account, without recognizing premium revenue.

Claims and Claim Adjustment Expense

Liabilities for losses and loss/claim adjustment expenses for accident and health contracts are estimated using statistical claim development models to develop best estimates of liabilities for medical expense business and using tabular reserves employing mortality/morbidity tables and discount rates meeting minimum regulatory requirements for other business.

Activity in the liability for unpaid claims and related processing costs net of reinsurance is summarized as follows:

The Company’s unpaid claims reserve was increased by $26,972 and $16,100 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, for health claims that occurred prior to those balance sheet dates. The change in 2014 and 2013 resulted primarily from variances in the estimated frequency of claims and claim severity.

The balance in the liability for unpaid accident and health claim adjustment expenses as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 was $29,942 and $27,677, respectively. The Company incurred $21,364 and paid $19,100 of claim adjustment expenses during 2014, of which $12,246 of the paid amount was attributable to insured or covered events of prior years. The Company incurred $16,738 and paid $15,349 of claim adjustment expenses during 2013, of which $10,398 of the paid amount was attributable to insured or covered events of prior years. The Company did not increase or decrease the claim adjustment expense provision for insured events of prior years during 2014 or 2013.

Reinsurance

Coinsurance premiums, commissions, expense reimbursements and reserves related to reinsured business are accounted for on bases consistent with those used in accounting for the original policies and the terms of the reinsurance contracts. Gains associated with reinsurance of in force blocks of business are included in unassigned surplus and amortized into income as earnings emerge on the reinsured block of business. Premiums ceded and recoverable losses have been reported as a reduction of premium income and benefits, respectively. Policy liabilities and accruals are reported in the accompanying financial statements net of reinsurance ceded.

Stock Option Plan, Long-Term Incentive Compensation and Stock Appreciation Rights Plans

Certain management employees of the Company participate in a stock-based long-term incentive compensation plan issued by the Company’s indirect parent. In accordance with SSAP No. 13, Stock Options and Stock Purchase Plans, the expense or benefit related to this plan for the Company’s management employees has been charged to the Company, with an offsetting amount credited to paid-in surplus. The Company recorded an accrued expense in the amount of $5,552, $28,886 and $19,754 for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Consistency of Presentation

Differences in tabular totals and references between footnotes are caused by rounding differences not considered to be significant to the financial statement presentation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Effective December 31, 2014, the Company adopted revisions to SSAP No. 104R, Share-Based Payments, which provides guidance for share-based payments transactions with non-employees. The adoption of this revision had no impact to the financial position and results of operations of the Company.

Effective December 15, 2014, the Company adopted SSAP No. 107, Accounting for Risk-Sharing Provisions of the Affordable Care Act, which establishes accounting treatment for the three risk sharing programs of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Disclosures related to the assets, liabilities and revenue elements by program, previously adopted in SSAP No. 35R, Guaranty Fund and Other Assessments – Revised (SSAP No. 35R), were moved to this SSAP. The adoption of this standard had no material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Effective January 1, 2014, the Company adopted SSAP No. 106, Affordable Care Act Assessments, which adopted with modifications the guidance in Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-06: Other Expenses – Fees Paid to the Federal Government by Health Insurers and moves the ACA Section 9010 fee guidance from SSAP No. 35R, to SSAP No. 106.

See Note 8 Policy and Contract Attributes for further details.

Effective January 1, 2012, the Company adopted revisions to SSAP No. 100, Fair Value Measurements (SSAP No. 100). These revisions require new disclosures of fair value hierarchy and the method used to obtain the fair value measurement, a new footnote that summarizes hierarchy levels by type of financial instrument and gross presentation of purchases, sales, issues and settlements within the reconciliation for fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the hierarchy. The adoption of these revisions had no impact to the Company’s results of operations or financial position, but did require additional disclosures.

Effective January 1, 2012, the Company began computing current and deferred income taxes in accordance with SSAP No. 101. This statement established statutory accounting principles for current and deferred federal and foreign income taxes and current state income taxes. The adoption of this statement resulted in the transfer of $432,568 from Aggregate Write-Ins for Other than Special Surplus Funds to Unassigned Funds and updates to the Company’s income tax disclosures. See Note 7 Income Taxes for further details.

Effective January 1, 2015 the Company will adopt guidance that moves wholly-owned, single member/single asset LLCs where the underlying asset is real estate, into the scope of SSAP No. 40, Real Estate Investments, when specific conditions are met, and clarifies in SSAP No. 48, Joint Ventures, Partnerships and Limited Liability Companies, that these types of investments are within the scope of SSAP No. 40. The adoption of this guidance is expected to be immaterial to the financial position and results of operation of the Company.

2. Prescribed and Permitted Statutory Accounting Practices

The Insurance Division, Department of Commerce, of the State of Iowa recognizes only statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the State of Iowa for determining and reporting the financial condition and results of operations of an insurance company, and for determining its solvency under the Iowa Insurance Law.

The State of Iowa has adopted a prescribed practice that differs from that found in the NAIC SAP related to the admission of a parental guarantee in the equity value calculation of TLIC Riverwood Reinsurance, Inc. (TRRI), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. As prescribed by Iowa Administrative Code 191-99.11(5), the Company is entitled to value its ownership in TRRI at a value equal to the audited statutory surplus of TRRI, which includes the parental guarantee provided by AEGON USA, LLC as an admissible asset, whereas SSAP No. 97 – Investments in Subsidiary, Controlled and Affiliated Entities, A Replacement of SSAP No. 88 would not allow the admissibility of such an asset.

The Company, with the permission of the Commissioner of Insurance of the State of Iowa, records the value of its wholly owned foreign life insurance subsidiary, Transamerica Life (Bermuda), Ltd. (TLB), based upon audited statutory equity rather than audited foreign statutory equity, utilizing adjustments as outlined in SSAP No. 97.

The State of Iowa has adopted a prescribed accounting practice that differs from that found in the NAIC SAP related to the reported value of the assets supporting the Company’s guaranteed separate accounts. As prescribed by Iowa Administrative Code 508A.1.4, the Commissioner found that the Company is entitled to value the assets of the guaranteed separate account at amortized cost, whereas the assets would be required to be reported at fair value under SSAP No. 56, Separate Accounts, of the NAIC SAP.

The Company previously disclosed a state prescribed practice for secondary guarantee reinsurance. The prescribed practice entitled the Company to take reserve credit for such reinsurance contracts in the amount equal to the portion of the reserves attributable to the secondary guarantee. As a result of the NAIC adopting Actuarial Guideline XXXXVIII (AG48) during 2014, the previously disclosed prescribed practice is no longer necessary.

3. Accounting Changes and Correction of Errors

During 2014, the Company discovered errors with certain components of the quarterly settlement statements related to the modified coinsurance treaty assumed from an affiliate, Western Reserve Life Assurance Co. of Ohio (WRL), resulting in incorrect cession amounts received by the Company since inception of the treaty effective December 31, 2010. The cumulative impact of the errors as of December 31, 2013 was an overstatement of capital and surplus of $53,792 after tax. This was corrected in 2014, and the Company reflected the impact of the correction as change in surplus within the statement of operations.

During 2013, the Company determined the correct data had not been utilized in the stand-alone asset adequacy analysis as defined under Actuarial Guideline XXXVIII section 8C (AG38 8C). The error resulted in an understatement of the additional asset adequacy reserve recorded at December 31, 2012 in the amount of $35,000. This was corrected in 2013, and the Company reflected the impact of the correction as a change in unassigned surplus within the statement of capital and surplus.

Effective December 16, 2011, the Company released an IMR liability associated with the block of business ceded to an unaffiliated entity on a coinsurance basis. Since the portion of the block of business ceded did not represent more than one percent of the Company’s general account liabilities, the IMR liability should not have been released when the reinsurance transaction was effected. The error resulted in an understatement of the IMR liability in the amount of $8,889. This was corrected in 2012, and the Company reflected the impact of the correction as a change in unassigned surplus within the statement of changes in capital and surplus.

Effective August 9, 2011, the Company released an IMR liability associated with a block of business retroceded to an unaffiliated entity. The gain on the release of the IMR liability should have been deferred through unassigned surplus but was instead included in the statements of operations. The error resulted in an overstatement of net income in the amount of $33,567. This was corrected in 2012, and the Company reflected the impact of the correction as a change in unassigned surplus within the statement of changes in capital and surplus. The offsetting adjustment is to the change in surplus as a result of reinsurance line within the statements of operations. There was no net impact to surplus as a result of this correction.

During 2012, the Company discovered an error in the calculation of waiver of premium reserves for long term care business due to the use of inaccurate premiums waived data. The error resulted in an understatement of reserves of $20,341 as of December 31, 2011. This has been reported as a correction of an error in the statement of changes in capital and surplus.

4. Fair Values of Financial Instruments

The fair value of a financial instrument is 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.

Determination of fair value

The fair values of financial instruments are determined by management after taking into consideration several sources of data. When available, the Company uses quoted market prices in active markets to determine the fair value of its investments. The Company’s valuation policy utilizes a pricing hierarchy which dictates that publicly available prices are initially sought from indices and third-party pricing services. In the event that pricing is not available from these sources, those securities are submitted to brokers to obtain quotes. Lastly, securities are priced using internal cash flow modeling techniques. These valuation methodologies commonly use reported trades, bids, offers, issuer spreads, benchmark yields, estimated prepayment speeds, and/or estimated cash flows.

To understand the valuation methodologies used by third-party pricing services, the Company reviews and monitors their applicable methodology documents. Any changes to their methodologies are noted and reviewed for reasonableness. In addition, the Company performs in-depth reviews of prices received from third-party pricing services on a sample basis. The objective for such reviews is to demonstrate that the Company can corroborate detailed information such as assumptions, inputs and methodologies used in pricing individual securities against documented pricing methodologies. Only third-party pricing services and brokers with a substantial presence in the market and with appropriate experience and expertise are used.

Each month, the Company performs an analysis of the information obtained from indices, third-party services, and brokers to ensure that the information is reasonable and produces a reasonable estimate of fair value. The Company considers both qualitative and quantitative factors as part of this analysis, including but not limited to, recent transactional activity for similar securities, review of pricing statistics and trends, and consideration of recent relevant market events. Other controls and procedures over pricing received from indices, third-party pricing services, or brokers include validation checks such as exception reports which highlight significant price changes, stale prices or un-priced securities.

Fair value hierarchy

The Company’s financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are classified, for disclosure purposes, based on a hierarchy defined by SSAP No. 100. The hierarchy gives the highest ranking to fair values determined using unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1), and the lowest ranking to fair values determined using methodologies and models with unobservable inputs (Level 3). An asset’s or a liability’s classification is based on the lowest level input that is significant to its measurement. For example, a Level 3 fair value measurement may include inputs that are both observable (Levels 1 and 2) and unobservable (Level 3). The levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

 

39


Table of Contents

Transamerica Life Insurance Company

Notes to Financial Statements – Statutory Basis (continued)

(Dollars in Thousands, Except per Share amounts)

 

Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets accessible at the measurement date.

 

Level 2 - Quoted prices in markets that are not active or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 2 inputs include the following:

 

  a) Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets

 

  b) Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets

 

  c) Inputs other than quoted market prices that are observable

 

  d) Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data through correlation or other means

 

Level 3 - Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. They reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments:

Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments: The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying balance sheets for these financial instruments approximate their fair values. Cash is not included in the below tables.

Short-Term Notes Receivable from Affiliates: The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying balance sheets for these financial instruments approximate their fair value.

Bonds and Stocks: The NAIC allows insurance companies to report the fair value determined by the SVO or to determine the fair value by using a permitted valuation method. The fair values of bonds and stocks are reported or determined using the following pricing sources: indexes, third party pricing services, brokers, external fund managers and internal models.

Fair values for fixed maturity securities (including redeemable preferred stock) actively traded are determined from third-party pricing services, which are determined as discussed above in the description of level one and level two values within the fair value hierarchy. For fixed maturity securities (including redeemable preferred stock) not actively traded, fair values are estimated using values obtained from third-party pricing services, or are based on non-binding broker quotes or internal models. In the case of private placements, fair values are estimated by discounting the expected future cash flows using current market rates applicable to the coupon rate, credit and maturity of the investments.

Mortgage Loans on Real Estate: The fair values for mortgage loans on real estate are estimated utilizing discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates reflective of current market conditions and the risk characteristics of the loans.

Real estate: Real estate held for sale is typically valued utilizing independent external appraisers in conjunction with reviews by qualified internal appraisers. Valuations are primarily based on active market prices, adjusted for any difference in the nature, location or condition of the specific property. If such information is not available, other valuation methods are applied, considering the value that the property’s net earning power will support, the value indicated by recent sales of comparable properties and the current cost of reproducing or replacing the property.

Other Invested Assets: The fair values for other invested assets, which include investments in surplus notes issued by other insurance companies and fixed or variable rate investments with underlying characteristics of bonds were determined primarily by using indexes, third party pricing services and internal models.

Derivative Financial Instruments: The estimated fair values of interest rate caps and options are based upon the latest quoted market price at the balance sheet date. The estimated fair values of swaps, including interest rate and currency swaps, are based on pricing models or formulas using current assumptions. The estimated fair values of credit default swaps are based upon the pricing differential as of the balance sheet date for similar swap agreements. The Company accounts for derivatives that receive and pass hedge accounting in the same manner as the underlying hedged instrument. If that instrument is held at amortized cost, then the derivative is also held at amortized cost.

Policy Loans: The fair value of policy loans is equal to the book value of the loan, which is stated at unpaid principal balance.

Securities Lending Reinvested Collateral: The cash collateral from securities lending is reinvested in various short-term and long-term debt instruments. The fair values of these investments are determined using the methods described above under Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments and Bonds and Stocks.

Receivable From/Payable to Parents, Subsidiaries and Affiliates: The carrying amount of receivable from/payable to affiliates approximates their fair value.

Separate Account Assets and Annuity Liabilities: The fair value of separate account assets are based on quoted market prices when available. When not available, they are primarily valued either using third party pricing services or are valued in the same manner as the general account assets as further described in this note. However, some separate account assets are valued using non-binding broker quotes, which cannot be corroborated by other market observable data, or internal modeling which utilizes input that are not market observable. The fair value of separate account annuity liabilities is based on the account value for separate accounts business without guarantees. For separate accounts with guarantees, fair value is based on discounted cash flows.

Investment Contract Liabilities: Fair value for the Company’s liabilities under investment contracts, which include deferred annuities and GICs, are estimated using discounted cash flow calculations. For those liabilities that are short in duration, carrying amount approximates fair value. For investment contracts with no defined maturity, fair value is estimated to be the present surrender value.

Deposit-Type Contracts: The carrying amounts of deposit-type contracts reported in the accompanying balance sheets approximate their fair values. These are included in the Investment Contract Liabilities.

Surplus Notes: Fair values for surplus notes are estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rate for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

The Company accounts for its investments in affiliated common stock using the equity method of accounting; as such, they are not included in the following disclosures.

Fair values for the Company’s insurance contracts other than investment-type contracts (including separate account universal life liabilities) are not required to be disclosed. However, the fair values of liabilities under all insurance contracts are taken into consideration in the Company’s overall management of interest rate risk, such that the Company’s exposure to changing interest rates is minimized through the matching of investment maturities with amounts due under insurance contracts.

The following tables set forth a comparison of the estimated fair values and carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including those not measured at fair value in the balance sheets, as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively:

Bonds classified in Level 2 are valued using inputs from third party pricing services or broker quotes. Level 3 measurements for bonds are primarily those valued using non-binding broker quotes, which cannot be corroborated by other market observable data or internal modeling which utilize inputs that are not market observable.

Preferred stocks classified in Level 2 are valued using inputs from third party pricing services. Preferred stock in Level 3 is being internally calculated.

Common stock in Level 2 represents common stock being carried at book value and some warrants that are valued using vendor inputs. Common stock in Level 3 is comprised primarily of shares in the FHLB of Des Moines, which are valued at par as a proxy for fair value as a result of restrictions that allow redemptions only by FHLB.

Short-term investments are classified as Level 2 as they are carried at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.

Securities lending reinvested collateral is valued and classified in the same way as the underlying collateral, which is primarily composed of short-term investments.

Derivatives classified as Level 2 represent over-the-counter (OTC) contracts valued using pricing models based on the net present value of estimated future cash flows, directly observed prices from exchange-traded derivatives, other OTC trades or external pricing services. The Level 3 derivatives are comprised of Total Return Forward Bond Purchases and Warrants based on the GDP of the Argentine government. The Total Return Forward Bond Purchases are determined by using the US Treasury repo curve estimates which is then compared to the strike price to estimate future payoff. The payoff is then discounted to the present value using the standard USD LIBOR curve. The Argentine Warrants are determined by confirmations received from brokers, and then modelled accordingly when compared to the sovereign issuance.

Separate account assets are valued and classified in the same way as general account assets (described above). For example, separate account assets in Level 3 are those valued using broker quotes or internal modeling which utilize unobservable inputs.

During 2014 and 2013, there were no transfers between Level 1 and 2, respectively.

The Company’s policy is to recognize transfers in and out of levels as of the beginning of the reporting period.

Transfers in for bonds were attributed to securities being carried at amortized cost at December 31, 2013 and 2012, subsequently being carried at fair value during 2014 and 2013. In addition, transfers in for bonds were the result of securities being valued using vendor inputs as of December 31, 2012, subsequently changing to being valued using internal models during 2013.

Transfers out for bonds were partly attributable to securities being valued using broker quotes which utilize unobservable inputs at December 31, 2012, subsequently changing to being valued using third party vendor inputs, thus causing the transfer out of Level 3 during 2013.

Transfers in for common stock were attributable to securities being valued using third party vendor inputs at December 31, 2013, subsequently changing to being valued using broker quotes which utilize unobservable inputs during 2014.

Transfers out for common stock were attributed to securities being valued using internal models at December 31, 2013, subsequently changing to being valued using current observable market values, thus causing the transfer out of Level 3 during 2014.

Transfers in for separate account assets were attributable to securities being valued using third party vendor inputs at December 31, 2013, subsequently changing to being valued using internal models during 2014.

Transfers out for separate account assets were attributable to securities being valued using internal models at December 31, 2013, subsequently changing to being valued using third party vendor inputs, thus causing the transfer out of Level 3 during 2014. In addition, transfers out for separate account bonds were attributable to securities being valued using broker quotes which utilize unobservable inputs at December 31, 2012, subsequently changing to being valued using third party vendor inputs, thus causing the transfer out of Level 3 during 2013.

Nonrecurring fair value measurements

As indicated in Note 1, real estate held for sale is measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. As of December 31, 2014, the Company has several parcels of land that it is exploring the sale of. Therefore, these properties are carried at fair value less cost to sell, which amounts to $4,120. One parcel of land has a carrying amount less than its fair value and therefore is not carried at fair value as of December 31, 2014.

The Company also had parcels of land that were held for sale as of December 31, 2013. Fair value less cost to sell of these properties was $1,496. One parcel of land has a carrying amount less than its fair value and therefore is not carried at fair value as of December 31, 2013.

Fair value was determined by utilizing an external appraisal following the sales comparison approach. The fair value measurements are classified in Level 3 as the comparable sales and adjustments for the specific attributes of these properties are not market observable inputs.

Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities (RMBS) Sector

At December 31, 2014, the Company’s RMBS sector portfolio had investments in an unrealized loss position which had a fair value of $927,139 and a carrying value of $1,076,802, resulting in a gross unrealized loss of $149,662. Residential mortgage-backed securities are securitizations of underlying pools of non-commercial mortgages on real estate. The underlying residential mortgages have varying credit characteristics and are pooled together and sold in tranches. The Company’s RMBS includes prime jumbo pass-throughs and collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs), Alt-A RMBS, negative amortization RMBS, government sponsored enterprise (GSE) guaranteed pass-throughs and reverse mortgage RMBS. The unrealized loss in the sector is primarily a result of the housing downturn in the United States that started in 2007. The housing market in the United States has shown signs of improvement as evidenced by rising home prices and sales volume. Positive trends in the housing market have led to improvements in borrower delinquencies and prepayment rates as well as liquidation timelines. Loss severities on liquidated properties remain elevated for subprime loans but are starting to show signs of improvement for other RMBS sectors. The improving home prices and credit performance led to credit spread tightening across the asset class.

All RMBS of AEGON are monitored and reviewed on a monthly basis. Detailed cash flow models using the current collateral pool and capital structure on the portfolio are updated and reviewed quarterly. Model output is generated under base and stress-case scenarios. AEGON’S RMBS asset specialists utilize widely recognized industry modeling software to perform a loan-by-loan, bottom-up approach to modeling. Key assumptions used in the models are projected defaults, loss severities, and prepayments. Each of these key assumptions varies greatly based on the significantly diverse characteristics of the current collateral pool for each security. Loan-to-value, loan size, and borrower credit history are some of the key characteristics used to determine the level of assumption that is utilized. Defaults were estimated by identifying the loans that are in various delinquency buckets and defaulting a certain percentage of them over the near-term and long-term. Assumed defaults on delinquent loans are dependent on the specific security’s collateral attributes and historical performance.

Loss severity assumptions were determined by obtaining historical rates from broader market data and by adjusting those rates for vintage, specific pool performance, collateral type, mortgage insurance and estimated loan modifications. Prepayments were estimated by examining historical averages of prepayment activity on the underlying collateral. Once the entire pool is modeled, the results are closely analyzed by the Company’s internal asset specialists to determine whether or not the particular tranche or holding is at risk for not collecting all contractual cash flows, taking into account the seniority and other terms of the tranches held.

If cash flow models indicate a credit event will impact future cash flows and the Company does not have the intent to sell the tranche or holding and does have the intent and ability to hold the security, the security is impaired to discounted cash flows. As the remaining unrealized losses in the RMBS portfolio relate to holdings where the Company expects to receive full principal and interest, the Company does not consider the underlying investments to be impaired as of December 31, 2014.

There were no loan-backed securities with a recognized OTTI due to intent to sell or lack of intent and ability to hold during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 respectively. The following table provides the aggregate totals for loan-backed securities with a recognized OTTI due to intent to sell or lack of intent and ability to hold, in which the security is written down to fair value during the year ended December 31, 2014.

The credit quality for commercial and farm mortgage loans was determined based on an internal credit rating model which assigns a letter rating to each mortgage loan in the portfolio as an indicator of the credit quality of the mortgage loan. The internal credit rating model was designed based on rating agency methodology, then modified for credit risk associated with the Company’s mortgage lending process, taking into account such factors as projected future cash flows, net operating income, and collateral value. The model produces a credit rating score and an associated letter rating which is intended to align with S&P ratings as closely as possible. Information supporting the credit risk rating process is updated at least annually.

During 2014, the Company issued mortgage loans with a maximum interest rate of 7.00% and a minimum interest rate of 3.61% for commercial loans. The maximum percentage of any one mortgage loan to the value of the underlying real estate originated during the year ending December 31, 2014 at the time of origination was 79%. During 2013, the Company issued mortgage loans with a maximum interest rate of 5.30% and a minimum interest rate of 3.14% for commercial loans. The maximum percentage of any one mortgage loan to the value of the underlying real estate originated during the year ending December 31, 2013 at the time of origination was 93%. During 2014, the Company reduced the interest rate by 2.0% on one outstanding mortgage loans with statement value of $2,163. During 2013, the Company reduced the interest rate by 0.6% on one outstanding mortgage with statement value of $6,009.

6. Reinsurance

Certain premiums and benefits are assumed from and ceded to other insurance companies under various reinsurance agreements. The Company reinsures portions of the risk on certain insurance policies which exceed its established limits, thereby providing a greater diversification of risk and minimizing exposure on larger risks. The Company remains contingently liable with respect to any insurance ceded, and this would become an actual liability in the event that the assuming insurance company became unable to meet its obligation under the reinsurance treaty.

Premiums earned reflect the following reinsurance amounts:

 

     Year Ended December 31  
     2014      2013      2012  

Direct premiums

   $ 18,338,148       $ 16,910,641       $ 13,426,938   

Reinsurance assumed - non affiliates

     1,451,742         1,415,095         1,751,054   

Reinsurance assumed - affiliates

     97,931         115,377         185,147   

Reinsurance ceded - non affiliates

The Company received reinsurance recoveries in the amount of $2,998,389, $2,927,641 and $3,542,504 during 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, estimated amounts recoverable from reinsurers that have been deducted from policy and contract claim reserves totaled $609,595 and $606,295, respectively. The aggregate reserves for policies and contracts were reduced for reserve credits for reinsurance ceded at December 31, 2014 and 2013 of $30,933,301 and $34,352,837, respectively.

The net amount of the reduction in surplus at December 31, 2014 and 2013, if all reinsurance agreements were cancelled, is $86,529 and $176,597, respectively.

Effective December 31, 2014, the Company ceded certain stand-alone long-term care policies to Transamerica Premier Life Insurance Company (TPLIC), an affiliate, for which the Company paid an initial ceding commission and premiums of $350,000 and $3,914,521, respectively and ceded modified coinsurance reserves of $3,914,521, resulting in a pre-tax loss of $350,000 which has been included in the statement of operations.

During 2012, the Company recaptured certain treaties associated with the divestiture of the Transamerica Reinsurance operations that were previously ceded to various non-affiliated entities so they could perform the ultimate novation, for which no net consideration was received. Life and claim reserves recaptured were $70,992 and other assets were recaptured of $67,295, resulting in a pre-tax loss of $3,697, which has been included in the statement of operations.

Subsequent to these recaptures, during 2012 the Company novated certain unaffiliated treaties that were previously ceded by the Company to various non-affiliated entities, in which consideration paid was $30,509, life and claim reserves released were $153,224, other assets transferred were $72,723 and a previously deferred unamortized gain resulting from the original cession of this business of $19,068 ($12,394 net of tax) was released in to income, resulting in a pre-tax gain of $69,060, which has been included in the statement of operations.

Also during 2012, the Company novated third party assumed retrocession agreements that were previously retroceded to a non-affiliate in which no net consideration was exchanged. Life and claim reserves were exchanged in the amount of $129,464 and other assets were exchanged in the amount of $10,748. As a result, there was no net financial impact from these transactions on a pre-tax basis, as assumed and ceded reserves along with other assets exchanged were impacted by equivalent amounts.

During 2012, amortization of deferred gains associated with previously transacted reinsurance agreements was released into income in the amount of $43,889 ($28,528 after tax).

The Company reports a reinsurance deposit receivable of $190,564 and $178,513 as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. In 1996, TOLIC entered into a reinsurance agreement with an unaffiliated company where, for a net consideration of $59,716, TOLIC ceded certain portions of future obligations under single premium annuity contracts originally written by the Company in 1993. Consistent with the requirements of SSAP No. 75, Reinsurance Deposit Accounting, the Company reports the net consideration paid as a deposit. The amount reported is the present value of the future payment streams discounted at the effective yield rate determined at inception.

During 2014, 2013 and 2012, the Company obtained letters of credit of $123,006, $200,872 and $790,269, respectively, for the benefit of affiliated and nonaffiliated companies that have reinsured business to the Company where the ceding company’s state of domicile does not recognize the Company as an authorized reinsurer.

For federal income tax purposes, the Company joins in a consolidated income tax return filing with its parent and other affiliated companies. The method of allocation between the companies is subject to a written tax allocation agreement. Under the terms of the tax allocation agreement, allocations are based on separate income tax return calculations. The Company is entitled to recoup federal income taxes paid in the event the future losses and credits reduce the greater of the Company’s separately computed income tax liability or the consolidated group’s income tax liability in the year generated. The Company is also entitled to recoup federal income taxes paid in the event the losses and credits reduce the greater of the Company’s separately computed income tax liability or the consolidated group’s income tax liability in any carryback or carryforward year when so applied. Intercompany income tax balances are settled within thirty days of payment to or filing with the Internal Revenue Service. A tax return has not yet been filed for 2014.

The Company’s federal income tax returns have been examined by the Internal Revenue Service and closing agreements have been executed through 2004. The examination for the years 2005 through 2008 have been completed and resulted in tax return adjustments that are currently undergoing final calculation at appeal. An examination is in progress for the years 2009 and 2012. The Company believes that there are adequate defenses against or sufficient provisions established related to any open or contested tax positions.

The Company has $14,478 general business tax credit carryforwards which expires in 2034.

Included in the liability for deposit-type contracts at December 31, 2014 and 2013 are $0 and $261,946, respectively, of funding agreements issued to special purpose entities in conjunction with non-recourse medium-term note programs. Under these programs, the proceeds from each note series issuance are used to purchase a funding agreement from an affiliated Company which secures that particular series of notes. The funding agreement is reinsured to the Company. In general, the payment terms of the note series match the payment terms of the funding agreement that secures that series. Claims for principal and interest for these funding agreements are afforded equal priority as other policyholders. The contracts matured during 2014 and therefore, the liability is now $0.

The Company’s liability for deposit-type contracts includes GIC’s and funding agreements assumed from Transamerica Premier Life Insurance Company. The liabilities assumed are $190,520 and $878,808 at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Certain separate and variable accounts held by the Company relate to individual variable life insurance policies. The benefits provided on the policies are determined by the performance and/or fair value of the investments held in the separate account. The net investment experience of the separate account is credited directly to the policyholder and can be positive or negative. The assets of these separate accounts are carried at fair value. The life insurance policies typically provide a guaranteed minimum death benefit.

Certain separate accounts held by the Company represent funds which are administered for pension plans. The assets consist primarily of fixed maturities and equity securities and are carried at fair value. The Company provides a minimum guaranteed return to policyholders of certain separate accounts. Certain other separate accounts do not have any minimum guarantees and the investment risks associated with fair value changes are borne entirely by the policyholder.

The legal insulation of separate account assets prevents such assets from being generally available to satisfy claims resulting from the general account. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company’s separate account statement included legally insulated assets of $70,571,067 and $61,019,794, respectively. The assets legally insulated from general account claims at December 31, 2014 and 2013 are attributed to the following products:

Some separate account liabilities are guaranteed by the general account. 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. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the general account of the Company had a maximum guarantee for separate account liabilities of $1,975,847 and $2,041,654, respectively. To compensate the general account for the risk taken, the separate account paid risk charges of $342,823, $242,109, $180,478, $124,016, and $107,662 to the general account in 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, and 2010 the general account of the Company had paid $35,985, $30,830, $61,901, $28,556, and $76,405, respectively, toward separate account guarantees.

At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company reported guaranteed separate account assets at amortized cost in the amount of $641,602 and $616,160, respectively, based upon the prescribed practice granted by the State of Iowa as described in Note 2. These assets had a fair value of $701,918 and $651,390 at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, which would have resulted in an unrealized gain of $60,316 and $35,230, respectively, had these assets been reported at fair value.

The Company does not participate in securities lending transactions within the separate account.

For variable annuities with guaranteed living benefits and variable annuities with minimum guaranteed death benefits the Company complies with Actuarial Guideline XLIII (AG 43), which replaces Actuarial Guidelines 34 and 39. AG 43 specifies statutory reserve requirements for variable annuity contracts with benefit guarantees (VACARVM) and without benefit guarantees and related products. The AG 43 reserve calculation includes variable annuity products issued after January 1, 1981. Examples of covered guaranteed benefits include guaranteed minimum accumulation benefits, return of premium death benefits, guaranteed minimum income benefits, guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefits and guaranteed payout annuity floors. The aggregate reserve for contracts falling within the scope of AG 43 is equal to the conditional tail expectation (CTE) Amount, but not less than the standard scenario amount (SSA).

To determine the CTE Amount, the Company used 1,000 of the pre-packaged scenarios developed by the American Academy of Actuaries (AAA) produced in October 2005 and prudent estimate assumptions based on Company experience. The SSA was determined using the assumptions and methodology prescribed in AG 43 for determining the SSA.

At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had variable and separate account annuities with minimum guaranteed benefits as follows:

Reserves on the Company’s traditional life insurance products are computed using mean reserving methodologies. These methodologies result in the establishment of assets for the amount of the net valuation premiums that are anticipated to be received between the policy’s paid-through date to the policy’s next anniversary date. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the gross premium and loading amounts related to these assets (which are reported as premiums deferred and uncollected), are as follows:

The Company anticipates investment income as a factor in the premium deficiency calculation, in accordance with SSAP No. 54, Individual and Group Accident and Health Contracts. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had insurance in force aggregating $77,600,302 and $87,374,058, respectively, in which the gross premiums are less than the net premiums required by the valuation standards established by the Insurance Division, Department of Commerce, of the State of Iowa. The Company established policy reserves of $651,406 and $641,454 to cover these deficiencies as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

For indeterminate premium products, a full schedule of current and anticipated premium rates is developed at the point of issue. Premium rate adjustments are considered when anticipated future experience foretells deviations from the original profit standards. The source of deviation (mortality, persistency, expense, etc.) is an important consideration in the re-rating decision as well as the potential effect of a rate change on the future experience of the existing block of business.

If the fair value of the collateral is at any time less than 102% of the fair value of the loaned securities, the counterparty is mandated to deliver additional collateral, the fair value of which, together with the collateral already held in connection with the lending transaction, is at least equal to 102% of the fair value of the loaned government or other domestic securities. In the event the Company loans a foreign security and the denomination of the currency of the collateral is other than the denomination of the currency of the loaned foreign security, the Company receives and maintains collateral equal to 105% of the fair value of the loaned security.

The Company recognizes pension expense equal to its allocation from AEGON. The pension expense is allocated among the participating companies based on International Accounting Standards 19 (IAS 19), Accounting for Employee Benefits, and based upon actuarial participant benefit calculations. The benefits are based on years of service and the employee’s eligible annual compensation. Pension expenses were $27,818, $25,626 and $23,983 for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The plan is subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.

Participants may elect to contribute up to twenty-five percent of their salary to the plan. The Company will match an amount up to three percent of the participant’s salary. Participants may direct all of their contributions and plan balances to be invested in a variety of investment options.

The Company’s allocation of expense for these plans for each of the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 was insignificant. AEGON also sponsors an employee stock option plan/stock appreciation rights for employees of the Company and a stock purchase plan for its producers, with the participating affiliated companies establishing their own eligibility criteria, producer contribution limits and company matching formula.

In prior years, the Company purchased life insurance policies covering the lives of certain employees of the Company from an affiliate. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the cash surrender value of these policies was $165,018 and $161,384, respectively.

13. Commitments and Contingencies

At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company has mortgage loan commitments of $78,088 and $25,073, respectively. The Company has contingent commitments for $317,745 and $242,171 as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, to provide additional funding for various joint ventures, partnerships, and limited liability companies, which includes LIHTC commitments of $1,771 and $3,621, respectively.

At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company has private placement commitments outstanding of $78,000 and $37,669, respectively.

The Company had no securities being acquired (sold) on a “to be announced” (TBA) basis as of December 31, 2014 and 2013.

Cash collateral received from derivative counterparties as well as the obligation to return the collateral is recorded on the Company’s balance sheet. The amount of cash collateral posted as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, was $936,974 and $379,202. In addition, securities in the amount of $250,905 and $180,359 were also posted to the Company as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, which were not included on the balance sheet of the Company as the Company does not have the ability to sell or repledge the collateral.

The Company has provided back-stop guarantees for the performance of non-insurance affiliates or subsidiaries that are involved in the guaranteed sale of investments in low-income housing tax credit partnerships. The nature of the obligation is to provide third party investors with a minimum guaranteed annual and cumulative return on their contributed capital which is based on tax credits and tax losses generated from the low income housing tax credit partnerships. Guarantee payments arise if low income housing tax credit partnerships experience unexpected significant decreases in tax credits and tax losses or there are compliance issues with the partnerships. A significant portion of the remaining term of the guarantees is between 13-18 years. The Company did not recognize a liability for the low income housing tax credit guarantees due to the adoption of SSAP No. 5R at December 31, 2014 or 2013, as the maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make is immaterial to the Company’s financial results. In the event the Company is required to make a payment under this guarantee, the payment would be reflected in the Company’s financial statements as a decrease in net investment income. The maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) that the Company could be required to make under these guarantees was $131 and $185 at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. No payments are required as of December 31, 2014. The current assessment of risk of making payments under these guarantees is remote.

The Company has guaranteed to the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) that it will provide adequate funds to make up for any liquidity shortfall in its wholly-owned foreign life insurance subsidiary, TLB (Singapore Branch), and continues to meet, pay and settle all present and future obligations of TLB. As of December 31, 2014, there is no payment or performance risk because TLB is able to meet its obligations.

The Company has guaranteed to the Hong Kong Insurance Authority that it will provide the financial support to TLB for maintaining TLB’s solvency at all times so as to enable TLB to promptly meet its obligations and liabilities. If at any time the value of TLB’s assets do not exceed its liabilities by the prevailing acceptable level of solvency, the Company will increase the paid up share capital of TLB or provide financial assistance to TLB to maintain the acceptable level of solvency, defined as net assets at one hundred and fifty percent of the required margin of solvency as stipulated under the Insurance Companies (Margin of Solvency) Regulation. As of December 31, 2014, there is no payment or performance risk because TLB is able to meet its obligations and has assets in excess of its liabilities by the prevailing level of solvency as of this date.

The Company has guaranteed that TLB will (1) maintain tangible net worth of at least equal to the greater of 165% of Standard & Poor’s (S&P) Risk-Based Capital and the minimum required by regulatory authorities in all jurisdictions in which TLB operates, (2) have, at all times, sufficient cash to pay all contractual obligations in a timely manner and (3) have a maximum operating leverage ratio of 20 times. TLIC can terminate this agreement upon thirty days written notice, but not until TLB attains a rating from S&P the same as without the support from this agreement, or the entire book of TLB business is transferred provided that it is transferred to an entity with a rating from S&P that is the same as or better than TLIC’s then current rating or AA, whichever is lower. As of December 31, 2014, there is no payment or performance risk because TLB has adequate tangible net worth, sufficient cash to meet its obligations and an operating leverage ratio not in excess of 20 times as of this date.

The Company is not able to estimate the financial statement impact or the maximum potential amount of future payments it could be required to make under these three guarantees as they are considered to be unlimited under the provisions of SSAP No. 5R.

The Company has provided a guarantee to TLB’s (Singapore Branch) policyholders. If TLB fails to pay a valid claim solely by reason of it becoming insolvent as defined by Bermuda law, then the Company shall pay directly to the policy owner or named beneficiary the amount of the valid claim. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, TLB holds related statutory-basis policy and claim reserves of $1,095,894 and $667,196, respectively, which would be the maximum

potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under this guarantee. In the event the Company is required to make a payment under this guarantee, the payment would be reflected in the Company’s financial statements as an increase to incurred claims. As of December 31, 2014, there is no payment or performance risk because TLB is not insolvent as of this date.

The Company has provided a guarantee to TLB’s (Hong Kong Branch) policyholders. If TLB fails to pay a valid claim solely by reason of it becoming insolvent as defined by Bermuda law, then the Company shall pay directly to the policy owner or named beneficiary the amount of the valid claim. At December 31, 2014, TLB holds related statutory-basis policy and claim reserves of $1,864,241, which would be the maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under this guarantee. In the event the Company is required to make a payment under this guarantee, the payment would be reflected in the Company’s financial statements as an increase to incurred claims. As of December 31, 2014, there is no payment or performance risk because TLB is not insolvent as of this date.

The Company did not recognize a liability for any of the TLB guarantees due to the adoption of SSAP No. 5R at December 31, 2014 or 2013, as a liability is not required for guarantees to or on behalf of a wholly-owned subsidiary. Management monitors TLB’s financial condition, and there are no indications that TLB will become insolvent. As such, management feels the risk of payment under these guarantees on behalf of TLB is remote.

The Company has provided guarantees for the obligations of noninsurance affiliates who have accepted assignments of structured settlement payment obligations from other insurers and purchase structured settlement insurance policies from subsidiaries of the Company that match those obligations. The guarantees made by the Company are specific to each structured settlement contract and vary in date and duration of the obligation. These are numerous and are backed by the reserves established by the Company to represent the present value of the future payments for those contracts. The statutory reserve established at December 31, 2014 and 2013 for the total payout block is $3,543,319 and $3,610,718, respectively. As this reserve is already recorded on the balance sheet of the Company, there was no additional liability recorded due to the adoption of SSAP No. 5R.

The Company has issued synthetic GIC contracts to benefit plan sponsors totaling $2,006,867 and $1,985,290 as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. A synthetic GIC is an off-balance sheet fee-based product sold primarily to tax qualified plans. The plan sponsor retains ownership and control of the related plan assets. The Company provides book value benefit responsiveness in the event that qualified plan benefit requests exceed plan cash flows. In certain contracts, the Company agrees to make advances to meet benefit payment needs and earns a market interest rate on these advances. The periodically adjusted contract-crediting rate is the means by which investment and benefit responsive experience is passed through to participants. In return for the book value benefit responsive guarantee, the Company receives a premium that varies based on such elements as benefit responsive exposure and contract size. The Company underwrites the plans for the possibility of having to make benefit payments and also must agree to the investment guidelines to ensure appropriate credit quality and cash flow. A contract reserve of $3,000 has been established for the possibility of unexpected benefit payments at below market interest rates at December 31, 2014 and 2013.

As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had entered into a credit enhancement and a standby liquidity asset purchase agreement on a municipal variable rate demand note facility with commitment amounts of $0 and $470, respectively, for which it was paid a fee. Prior to a change in the remarketing agent, this agreement was drawn upon and repaid during 2009. The Company does not believe there will be an additional draw under this agreement. However, if there were, any such draws would be purchases of municipal bonds, which would be repaid with interest.

The Company is a party to legal proceedings involving a variety of issues incidental to its business, including class actions. Lawsuits may be brought in nearly any federal or state court in the United States or in an arbitral forum. In addition, there continues to be significant federal and state regulatory activity relating to financial services companies. The Company’s legal proceedings are subject to many variables, and given its complexity and scope, outcomes cannot be predicted with certainty. Although legal proceedings sometimes include substantial demands for compensatory and punitive damages, and injunctive relief, it is management’s opinion that damages arising from such demands will not be material to the Company’s financial position.

The Company is subject to insurance guaranty laws in the states in which it writes business. These laws provide for assessments against insurance companies for the benefit of policyholders and claimants in the event of insolvency of other insurance companies. Assessments are charged to operations when received by the Company, except where right of offset against other taxes paid is allowed by law. Amounts available for future offsets are recorded as an asset on the Company’s balance sheet. The future obligation for known insolvencies has been accrued based on the most recent information available from the National Organization of Life and Health Insurance Guaranty Associations. Potential future obligations for unknown insolvencies are not determinable by the Company and are not required to be accrued for financial reporting purposes. The Company has established a reserve of $5,620 and $8,525 and an offsetting premium tax benefit of $6,323 and $6,220 at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, for its estimated share of future guaranty fund assessments related to several major insurer insolvencies. The guaranty fund (benefit) expense was $(148), $(155) and $(4,325), for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

14. Sales, Transfer, and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities

The Company has recorded liabilities of $89,271 and $88,979 for municipal repurchase agreements as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The repurchase agreements are primarily collateralized by investment-grade corporate bonds with book values of $109,826 and $88,847, respectively, and fair values of $114,296 and $94,435, respectively, as of December 31, 2014 and 2013. These securities have maturity dates that range from 2015 to 2027.

For repurchase agreements, the Company rigorously manages asset/liability risks via an integrated risk management framework. The Company’s liquidity position is monitored constantly, and factors heavily in the management of the asset portfolio. Projections comparing liquidity needs to available resources in both adverse and routine scenarios are refreshed monthly. The results of these projections on time horizons ranging from 16 months to 24 months are the basis for the near-term liquidity planning. This liquidity model excludes new business (non applicable for the spread business), renewals and other sources of cash and assumes all liabilities are paid off on the earliest dates required. Interest rate risk is carefully managed, in part through rigorously defined and monitored derivatives programs.

The Company enters into dollar repurchase agreements in which securities are delivered to the counterparty once adequate collateral has been received. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had dollar repurchase agreements outstanding in the amount of $456,341 and $216,485, respectively. The Company had an outstanding liability for borrowed money in the amount $458,456 and $209,442 at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively due to participation in dollar repurchase agreements which includes accrued interest.

The financial statements are adjusted to reflect events that occurred between the balance sheet date and the date when the financial statements are issued, provided they give evidence of conditions that existed at the balance sheet date (Type I). Events that are indicative of conditions that arose after the balance sheet date are disclosed, but do not result in an adjustment of the financial statements themselves (Type II). With the exception of the Affordable Care Act annual fee described below, the Company has not identified any Type I or Type II subsequent events for the year ended December 31, 2014 through the date the financial statements are issued.

On January 1, 2015, the Company will be subject to an annual fee under section 9010 of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). This annual fee will be allocated to individual health insurers based on the ratio of the amount of the entity’s net premiums written during the preceding calendar year to the amount of health insurance for any U.S. health risk that is written during the preceding calendar year. A health insurance entity’s portion of the annual fee becomes payable once the entity provides health insurance for any U.S. health risk for each calendar year beginning on or after January 1, 2015. As of December 31, 2014, the Company has written health insurance subject to the ACA assessment, expects to conduct health insurance business in 2015, and estimates their portion of the annual health insurance industry fee to be payable on September 30, 2015 to be $568. This assessment is not expected to have a material impact on risk based capital in 2014.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Contract Owners of

Separate Account VA B of

Transamerica Life Insurance Company

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities and the related statement of operations and changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the subaccounts of Separate Account VA B (the “Separate Account”) at December 31, 2014, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for the period then ended and the financial highlights in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Separate Account’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of these financial statements 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. An audit 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, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2014, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The Board of Directors and Contract Owners

of Separate Account VA B

    Transamerica Life Insurance Company

We have audited the accompanying statement of operations and changes in net assets of the subaccounts of Transamerica Life Insurance Company Separate Account VA B (the Separate Account), comprised of subaccounts as listed in the accompanying statement of operations and changes in net assets for the period ended December 31, 2013. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Separate Account’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Separate Account’s 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 Separate Account’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2013 by correspondence with the fund companies or their transfer agents. 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 results of the operations and changes in net assets of each of the respective subaccounts of Transamerica Life Insurance Company Separate Account VA B, for the period ended December 31, 2013, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

* These amounts represent the dividends, excluding distributions of capital gains, received by the subaccount from the Mutual Fund, net of management fees assessed by the fund manager, divided by the average net assets. These ratios exclude those expenses, such as mortality and expense charges, that are assessed against contract owner accounts either through reductions in the unit values or the redemption of units. The recognition of investment income by the subaccount is affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the Mutual Fund in which the subaccounts invest.
** These amounts represent the annualized contract expenses of the subaccount, consisting primarily of mortality and expense charges, for each period indicated. These ratios include 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 Mutual Fund have been excluded.

4. Financial Highlights (continued)

 

*** These amounts represent the total return for the periods indicated, including changes in the value of the Mutual Fund, and expenses assessed through the reduction of unit values. These ratios do not include any expenses assessed through the redemption of units. Investment options with a date notation indicate the effective date of that investment option in the variable account. The total return is calculated for each period indicated or from the effective date through the end of the reporting period. Effective 2012, total returns reflect a full twelve month period and total returns for subaccounts opened during the year have not been disclosed as they may not be indicative of a full year return. Effective 2011, expense ratios not in effect for the full twelve months are not reflected in the total return as they may not be indicative of a full year return.

There are subaccounts that have total return ranges outside of the range indicated above. Following is the list of the subaccounts and their corresponding lowest total return and highest total return.

5. Administrative and Mortality and Expense Risk Charges

TLIC deducts a daily administrative charge equal to an annual rate of .15% of the daily net assets value of each subaccount for administrative expenses. TLIC also deducts an annual charge during the accumulation phase, not to exceed $35, proportionately from the subaccounts’ unit values. An annual charge ranging from 0.15% to 2.30% is deducted (based on the death benefit selected) from the unit values of the subaccounts of the Separate Account for TLIC’s assumption of certain mortality and expense risks incurred in connection with the contract. The charge is assessed daily based on the net asset value of the Mutual Fund. Charges for administrative and mortality and expense risk are an expense of the subaccount. Charges reflected above are those currently assessed and may be subject to change. Contract owners should see their actual policy and any related attachments to determine their specific charges.

In addition to M&E, the following subaccounts are assessed a daily charge for fund facilitation fees:

6. Income Tax

Operations of the Separate Account form a part of TLIC, which is taxed as a life insurance company under Subchapter L of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code). The operations of the Separate Account are accounted for separately from other operations of TLIC for purposes of federal income taxation. The Separate Account is not separately taxable as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Code and is not otherwise taxable as an entity separate from TLIC. Under existing federal income tax laws, the income of the Separate Account is not taxable to TLIC, as long as earnings are credited under the variable annuity contracts.

7. Fair Value Measurements and Fair Value Hierarchy

The Accounting Standards Codification™ (ASC) 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the nature of inputs used to measure fair value and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measurements.

The Separate Account has categorized its financial instruments into a three level hierarchy which is 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 on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities are categorized as follows:

Level 1. Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market.

Level 2. Quoted prices in markets that are not active or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 2 inputs include the following:

 

  a) Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets

 

  b) Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets

 

  c) Inputs other than quoted market prices that are observable

 

  d) Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data through correlation or other means.

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 own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability.

All investments in the Mutual Funds included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities are stated at fair value and are based upon daily unadjusted quoted prices, therefore are considered Level 1.

 

8. Subsequent Events

The Separate Account has evaluated the financial statements for subsequent events through the date which the financial statements were issued. During this period, there were no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

Item 27. Number of Contract Owners

As of March 31, 2015, there were 45,768 Owners of the Policies for Transamerica Variable Annuity Series; and 2,991 Owners of the Policies for Members® Variable Annuity Series; and 595 Owners of the Policies for Partners Variable Annuity Series.

Item 28. Indemnification

The Iowa Code (Sections 490.850 et. seq.) provides for permissive indemnification in certain situations, mandatory indemnification in other situations, and prohibits indemnification in certain situations. The Code also specifies procedures for determining when indemnification payments can be made.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Depositor pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Depositor has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Depositor of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered), the Depositor will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
