The following new subsection is added to the section titled “OTHER INFORMATION” immediately following the subsection titled “Earnings Sweep”:

Guidance Model Portfolios. The Elite Access Guidance Model Portfolios may be offered to you through your representative at no additional cost to assist in diversifying your investment across various asset classes of the available Investment Divisions (the Guidance Model Portfolios or Models). The Guidance Model Portfolios allow you to choose from one of ten Models designed to assist in meeting your stated investment goals. Each Guidance Model Portfolio is comprised of a carefully selected combination of Investment Divisions representing various asset classes. The Models allocate among the various asset classes to attempt to match certain combinations of investors’ investment time horizon and risk tolerance. Please consult your representative for more information about investment based on the Guidance Model Portfolios.

Electing a Guidance Model Portfolio

Your representative is available to assist you in electing a Guidance Model Portfolio when you purchase your variable annuity or if after contract issue. You should determine, with the assistance of your representative, as needed, which Model is most appropriate for you based on your financial needs, risk tolerance and investment time horizon. You may request to discontinue the use of a Model by notifying your representative who will advise you on how to execute your decision.

You may also choose to invest gradually into a Guidance Model Portfolio through the Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) program. Please see “Dollar Cost Averaging”, in the “OTHER INFORMATION” section of the prospectus.

You may invest in more than one Guidance Model Portfolio at a time and also invest in other Investment Divisions that are not part of the Guidance Model Portfolios. If you split your investment in one or more Guidance Model Portfolios, your investment may no longer be consistent with the Guidance Model Portfolio’s intended objectives. Additionally, if you invest in any Investment Divisions in addition to investing in a Guidance Model Portfolio, such an investment may not be or remain consistent with the Guidance Model Portfolio’s intended objectives you selected.

You may request withdrawals, as permitted by your contract, which will be taken proportionately from each of the allocations in the selected Guidance Model Portfolio unless otherwise indicated in your withdrawal instructions. If you choose to make a non-proportional withdrawal from the Investment Divisions in the Guidance Model Portfolio, your investment may no longer be consistent with the Guidance Model Portfolio’s intended objectives. Withdrawals may be subject to a withdrawal charge and the usual tax consequences apply.

As further discussed with your representative, you can transfer 100% of your investment from each Guidance Model Portfolio to other Guidance Model Portfolios at any time; you will be transferred into the then current Models available. As a result of your transfer, we will automatically update your allocation instructions on file with respect to subsequent Purchase Payments and DCA allocation instructions, if applicable, and we will automatically update your Rebalancing instructions to reflect your new Model selection, if we do not receive differing instructions. Transfers where allocation and balancing instructions are not applicable, such as transfers of partial investments in a Model or transfers to multiple Models will require more detailed accompanying new instructions.

New Guidance Model Portfolios may be configured from time to time. The existing Models will remain unchanged. Thus, once you invest in a Model, the percentages of your contract value allocated to each Investment Division within the selected Model will not be changed by us. Any subsequent Purchase Payments will be invested in the same Guidance Model Portfolio as your existing Model and will not be invested in the then current Guidance Model Portfolios allocations, unless we receive specific written instructions to change to a new Guidance Model Portfolio. Your representative can provide you with information regarding the availability and nature of any new Guidance Model Portfolios and your selection of ones that meet your needs and goals. You should speak with your financial representative about how to keep the Investment Division allocations in your Guidance Model Portfolio in line with your investment goals over time.

Please see “Dollar Cost Averaging” and “Rebalancing”, in the “OTHER INFORMATION” section of the prospectus.

A subsequent Purchase Payment will be invested in the same Guidance Model Portfolio as your current investment unless we receive different instructions from you. You should consult with your financial representative to determine if you should update your allocation instructions, DCA target allocation instructions and/or Rebalancing program instructions on file when you make a subsequent Purchase Payment. Consideration of your investment time horizon and other of your investment goals may be relevant to the selection of any or certain Portfolio Guidance Portfolios if you have elected the Liquidity Option.

You can elect to have your investment in the Guidance Model Portfolios rebalanced quarterly, semi-annually, or annually to maintain the target asset allocation among the Investment Divisions of the Model you selected. Over time, the Guidance Model Portfolio you select may no longer align with its original investment objective due to the effects of Investment Division performance and changes in the Investment Division’s investment objectives. Therefore, if you do not elect to have your investment in the Guidance Model Portfolio rebalanced at least annually, then your investment may no longer be consistent with the Guidance Model Portfolio’s intended objectives. In addition, your investment goals, financial situation and risk tolerance may change over time. You should consult with your financial representative about how to keep your Guidance Model Portfolio’s allocations in line with your investment goals. Finally, changes in investment objectives or management of the Underlying Funds invested in by the Investment Divisions in the Models may mean that, over time, the Models no longer are consistent with their original investment goals.

Important Information about the Guidance Model Portfolios

The Guidance Model Portfolios are not intended as investment advice about investing in the Investment Divisions, and we do not provide investment advice regarding whether a Guidance Model Portfolio should be revised or whether it remains appropriate to invest in accordance with any particular Guidance Model Portfolio. The Guidance Model Portfolios do not guarantee greater or more consistent returns. Future market and asset class performance may differ from the historical performance upon which the Guidance Model Portfolios may have been built. Also, allocation to a single asset class may outperform a Model, so that you could have better investment returns investing in a single asset class than in a Guidance Model Portfolio. However, such a strategy may involve a greater degree of risk because of the concentration of similar securities in a single asset class. Further, there can be no assurance that any Investment Division chosen for a particular Guidance Model Portfolio will perform well or that its performance will closely reflect that of the asset class it is designed to represent.

The Guidance Model Portfolios represent suggested allocations that are provided to you as general guidance through your representative. You should work with your financial representative in determining if one of the Guidance Model Portfolios meets your financial needs, investment time horizon, and is consistent with your risk tolerance level. Information concerning the specific Guidance Model Portfolios can be obtained from your financial representative.

We reserve the right to change the Investment Divisions and/or allocations to certain Investment Divisions in each Model to the extent that Investment Divisions or the Funds in which they invest are liquidated, substituted, merged or otherwise reorganized.

We reserve the right to modify, suspend or terminate the Guidance Model Portfolios at any time.
