HOW YOUR INVESTMENTS ARE ALLOCATED – Portfolio Optimization section is

replaced with the following:

Portfolio Optimization

The Service. Portfolio Optimization is an asset allocation service that we offer at no additional charge for use within this variable annuity. Asset allocation refers to the manner that investments are distributed among asset classes to help attain an investment goal. For your variable annuity, Portfolio Optimization can help with decisions about how you should allocate your Contract Value among available Investment Options. The theory behind Portfolio Optimization is that diversification among asset classes can help reduce volatility over the long term.

As part of our Portfolio Optimization service, we have developed several asset allocation models (“Portfolio Optimization Models” or “Models”), each based on different profiles of an investor’s willingness to accept investment risk. If you decide to subscribe to the Portfolio Optimization service and select one of the Portfolio Optimization Models, your initial Purchase Payment (in the case of a new application) or Contract Value, as applicable, will be allocated to the Investment Options according to the Model you select. Subsequent Purchase Payments, if allowed under your Contract, will also be allocated accordingly, unless you instruct us otherwise in writing. If you choose, you can rebalance your Contract Value quarterly, semi-annually, or annually, to maintain the current allocations of your Portfolio Optimization Model, since changes in the net asset values of the underlying Portfolios in each Model will alter your asset allocation over time. If you also allocate part of your Purchase Payment or Contract Value that is not currently included in


 

your Model and you elect periodic rebalancing, such amounts will not be considered when rebalancing. If you subscribe to Portfolio Optimization and elect periodic rebalancing, only the Investment Options within your Model will be rebalanced.

We serve as investment adviser for the Portfolio Optimization service in connection with the development of the Portfolio Optimization Models and periodic updates of the Models. On a periodic basis (typically annually), the Portfolio Optimization Models are evaluated and the Models are updated, as discussed below. If you subscribe to Portfolio Optimization, we will automatically reallocate your Contract Value or Purchase Payments, as applicable, in accordance with the Model you select as it is updated from time to time based on discretionary authority that you grant to us, unless you instruct us otherwise. For more information on our role as investment adviser for the Portfolio Optimization service, please contact Pacific Life to obtain a copy of our brochure from our Form ADV, the SEC investment adviser registration form. In developing and periodically updating the Portfolio Optimization Models, we currently retain an independent third-party analytical firm. We may change the firm that we use from time to time, or, to the extent permissible under applicable law, use no independent firm at all.

The Portfolio Optimization Models. We offer five asset allocation models, each comprised of a carefully selected combination of Investment Options (reflecting the underlying Portfolios of Pacific Select Fund). Development of the Portfolio Optimization models is a two-step process. First, an optimization analysis is performed to determine the breakdown of asset classes. Optimization analysis requires forecasting returns, standard deviations and correlation coefficients of asset classes over the desired investing horizon and an analysis using a state-of-the art program and a statistical analytical technique known as “mean-variance optimization.” Next, after the asset class exposures are known, a determination is made of how available Investment Options (underlying Portfolios) can be used to implement the asset class level allocations. The Investment Options are selected by evaluating the asset classes represented by the underlying Portfolios and combining Investment Options to arrive at the desired asset class exposures. The Portfolio-specific analysis uses historical returns-based style analysis and asset performance and regression and attribution analyses. It may also include portfolio manager interviews. Based on this analysis, Investment Options are selected in a way intended to optimize potential returns for each Model, given a particular level of risk tolerance. This process could, in some cases, result in the inclusion of an Investment Option in a Model based on its specific asset class exposure or other specific optimization factors, even where another Investment Option may have better historical performance.

Periodic Updates of the Portfolio Optimization Model and Notices of Updates. Each of the Portfolio Optimization Models are evaluated periodically (generally, annually) to assess whether the combination of Investment Options within each Model should be changed to better seek to optimize the potential return for the level of risk tolerance intended for the Model. As a result of the periodic analysis, each Model may change and Investment Options may be added to a Model (including Investment Options not currently available), or Investment Options may be deleted from a Model.

When your Portfolio Optimization Model is updated, we will automatically reallocate your Contract Value (and Subsequent Purchase Payments, if applicable) in accordance with any changes to the Model you have selected. This means the allocation of your Contract Value, and potentially the Investment Options in which you are invested, will automatically change and your Contract Value (and Subsequent Purchase Payments, if applicable) will be automatically reallocated among the Investment Options in your updated Model (independently of any automatic rebalancing you may have selected). We require that you grant us discretionary investment authority to periodically reallocate your Contract Value (and Subsequent Purchase Payments, if applicable) in accordance with the updated version of the Portfolio Optimization Model you have selected, if you wish to participate in Portfolio Optimization. If your Contract was purchased through Smith Barney, now known as Citigroup Global Markets Inc., or through Citicorp Investment Services (Citicorp), you must contact your registered representative if you want to move to a new Model after the annual analysis.


 

When we update the Portfolio Optimizations Models, we will send you written notice of the updated Models at least 30 days in advance of the date we intend the updated version of the Model to be effective. You should carefully review these notices. If you wish to accept the changes in your selected Model, you will not need to take any action, as your Contract Value (or Subsequent Purchase Payments, if applicable) will be reallocated in accordance with the updated Model automatically. If you do not wish to accept the changes to your selected Model, you can change to a different Model or withdraw from the Portfolio Optimization service. Some of the riders available under the Contract require you to participate in an asset allocation service. If you purchased any of these riders, such riders will terminate if you withdraw from Portfolio Optimization or allocate any portion of your subsequent Purchase Payments or Contract Value to an Investment Option that is not currently included in your Model (as more fully described in each rider).

Selecting a Portfolio Optimization Model. If you choose to subscribe to the Portfolio Optimization service, you need to determine which Portfolio Optimization Model is best for you. Pacific Life will not make this decision. You should consult with your registered representative on this decision. Your registered representative can help you determine which Model is best suited to your financial needs, investment time horizon, and willingness to accept investment risk. You should periodically review these factors with your registered representative to determine if you should change Models to keep up with changes in your personal circumstances. Your registered representative can assist you in completing the proper forms to subscribe to the Portfolio Optimization service or to change to a different Model. You may, in consultation with your registered representative, utilize analytical tools made available by Pacific Life, including an investor profile questionnaire, which asks questions intended to help you or your registered representative assess your financial needs, investment time horizon, and willingness to accept investment risk. Your responses can be analyzed using the service available on the Pacific Life website. While the information from the Pacific Life website may assist you, it is your decision, in consultation with your registered representative, to select a Model or to change to a different Model, and Pacific Life bears no responsibility for this decision. You may change to a different Model at any time with a proper written request or by telephone or electronic instructions provided a valid telephone/ electronic authorization is on file with us.

Quarterly Reports. If you select a Portfolio Optimization Model, you will be sent a quarterly performance report that provides information about the Investment Options within your selected Model, in addition to your usual quarterly statement. Information concerning the current Models is described below.

Risks. Although the Models are designed to optimize returns given the various levels of risk, there is no assurance that a Model portfolio will not lose money or that investment results will not experience volatility. Investment performance of your Contract Value could be better or worse by participating in a Portfolio Optimization Model than if you had not participated. A Model may perform better or worse than any single Investment Option or asset class or other combinations of Investment Options or asset classes. Model performance is dependent upon the performance of the component Investment Options (and their underlying Portfolios). The timing of your investment and the frequency of automatic rebalancing may affect performance. Your Contract Value will fluctuate, and when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost.

A Portfolio Optimization Model may not perform as intended. Although the Models are designed to optimize returns given various levels of risk tolerance, portfolio, market and asset class performance may differ in the future from the historical performance and assumptions upon which the Models are based, which could cause the Models to be ineffective or less effective in reducing volatility.

Periodic updating of the Portfolio Optimization Models can cause the underlying Portfolios to incur transactional expenses to raise cash for money flowing out of the Portfolios or to buy securities with money flowing into the Portfolios. These expenses can adversely affect performance of the pertinent Portfolios and the Models.


 

Pacific Life may be subject to competing interests that have the potential to influence its decision making with regard to Portfolio Optimization. For example, one Portfolio may provide a higher advisory fee to Pacific Life than another Portfolio, and provide Pacific Life with incentive to use the Portfolio with the higher fee as part of a Portfolio Optimization Model. In addition, Pacific Life may believe that certain Portfolios may benefit from additional assets or could be harmed by redemptions. As adviser to Pacific Select Fund, we monitor performance of the Portfolios, and may, from time to time, recommend to the Fund’s Board of Trustees a change in portfolio management firm or strategy or the closure or merger of a Portfolio, all of which could impact a Model. All Fund Portfolios are analyzed. We do not dictate to the third party analytical firm the number of Portfolios in a Model, the percent that any Portfolio represents in a Model, or which Portfolios may be selected (other than to require exclusion of any Portfolio that is expected to be liquidated, merged into another Portfolio, or otherwise closed). We believe our use of an independent third-party analytical firm to develop and update the Models (as described above) reduces or eliminates the potential for us to be influenced by these competing interests, but there can be no assurance of this.

Pacific Life is under no contractual obligation to continue this service and has the right to terminate or change the Portfolio Optimization service at any time.


 

The Models. Below we present information on the Portfolio Optimization Models. You should review this information carefully before selecting or changing a Model.

                                       

Investor Profile

Model A   Model B   Model C   Model D   Model E

You are looking for a relatively stable investment and require investments that generate some level of income.   Your focus is on keeping pace with inflation. Income generating investment and capital appreciation are desired.   You want the opportunity for long- term moderate growth.   You want an investment that is geared for growth and are willing to accept above average risk.   You are an aggressive investor and can tolerate short-term market swings.

 Shorter Investment Horizon < -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Longer Investment Horizon

Investor Objective

Primarily preservation of capital   Moderate Growth   Steady growth in asset values   Moderately high growth in asset values   High growth in asset values

Risk Characteristics

There may be some losses in the values of the investment as asset values fluctuate.   There may be some losses in the values of the investment from year to year.   There will probably be some losses in the values of the underlying investments from year to year. Fluctuations in value should be less than those of the overall stock markets.   There will probably be some losses in the values of the underlying investments from year to year. Some of these might be large, but the overall fluctuations in asset values should be less than those of the U.S. stock market.   There will probably be some losses in the values of the underlying investments from year to year. Some of these might be large, but the overall fluctuations in asset values should be less than those of the U.S. stock market.

AN OVERVIEW OF PACIFIC VALUE is amended by adding the following:

Guaranteed Income Advantage Plus (GIA Plus) Rider

The optional GIA Plus Rider offers a minimum fixed income payout, plus the ability to lock in market gains and withdraw money each year. Subject to state availability, the optional GIA Plus Rider offers a guaranteed income annuity option when an asset allocation program established and maintained by us for the GIA Plus Rider is used. If you use our DCA Plus Program in conjunction with such an asset allocation program, you also will be considered to have met this requirement. You may buy the GIA Plus Rider on the Contract Date or on any Contract Anniversary. The GIA Plus Rider may not be available. Ask your registered representative about its current availability.

If you buy the GIA Plus Rider within sixty (60) days after the Contract Date or within thirty (30) days after a Contract Anniversary, we will make the Effective Date of the GIA Plus Rider coincide with that Contract Date or Contract Anniversary.

You should consult a qualified adviser for complete information and advice before purchasing the GIA Plus Rider.

There may be adverse consequences to taking a loan while this Rider is in effect. If you have an existing loan on your Contract, you should carefully consider whether the Rider is appropriate for you.

The GIA Plus Rider is called the Guaranteed Income Annuity (GIA) Rider in the Contract’s Rider.

Income Access Plus Rider

The optional Income Access Plus Rider lets you withdraw up to 5% of your investments per year, lock in market gains, and may provide a credit which increases your protected amount. Subject to state availability, the optional Income Access Plus Rider offers you during the accumulation period, the ability to withdraw up to 5% of a Protected Payment Base (usually Purchase Payments) and provides an Income Access Credit of 6% to your Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance for up to a five year period (provided you do not take any withdrawals during this period), when used with an asset allocation program established and maintained by us. If you use our DCA Plus program in conjunction with such an asset allocation program, you also will be considered to have met this requirement. You may buy this Rider on the Contract date or on any Contract Anniversary.

The Rider also provides for an additional option (the “Reset”) on any Contract Anniversary beginning with the third (3rd) anniversary of the Rider Effective Date or most recent Reset Date and may include an increase in the charges (up to a maximum of 1.20%) associated with the Rider. The Income Access Plus Rider may not be available. Ask your registered representative about its current availability. (Protected Payment Base, Remaining Protected Balance, Income Access Credit, Reset, and Reset Date are described in the OTHER OPTIONAL RIDERS – INCOME ACCESS PLUS RIDER section in this supplement).

If you buy the Rider within sixty (60) days after the Contract Date or within thirty (30) days after a Contract Anniversary, we will make the Effective Date of the Rider coincide with that Contract Date or Contract Anniversary.

You should consult a qualified advisor for complete information and advice before purchasing the Income Access Plus Rider or electing the Reset provision available under the Rider.

There may be adverse consequences to taking a loan while this Rider is in effect. If you have an existing loan on your Contract, you should carefully consider whether the Rider is appropriate for you.

The Income Access Plus Rider is called the Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit Rider in the Contract’s Rider.


 

The Periodic Contract Expenses section is amended by adding the following:

         
  Guaranteed Income Advantage Plus (GIA Plus) Rider Charge   0.50% 13
  Income Access Plus Rider Charge   1.20% 14

The following Footnotes are added to the Periodic Expenses section:

13  If you buy the GIA Plus Rider (subject to state availability), we deduct this charge proportionately from your Investment Options on each Contract Anniversary and when you make a full withdrawal if the Rider is in effect on that date, or if the Rider is terminated. We will waive the annual charge if the Rider terminates as a result of death of an Owner or sole surviving Annuitant or upon full annuitization of your Contract.
 
14  If you buy the Income Access Plus Rider (subject to state availability), we deduct this charge proportionately from your Investment Options on each Contract Anniversary following the Effective Date of the Rider during the term of the Rider and while the Rider is in effect, or if the Rider is terminated. The 1.20% Charge is the maximum charge allowable under the terms and conditions of the Rider. Currently, the annual Charge for the Rider is 0.40%. Under the terms and conditions of the Rider, the annual Charge will remain the same while the Rider is in effect, unless you elect the optional Reset provision provided under the Rider. The Charge if you purchase the Rider will also be shown on the Rider in your Contract. We will waive the annual Charge if the Rider terminates as a result of death of an Owner or sole surviving Annuitant or upon full annuitization of your Contract.

The Minimum and Maximum expense percentages in the Pacific Select Fund Annual Operating Expenses table are replaced with the following:

         
Total Annual Pacific Select Fund Operating Expenses1 Minimum Maximum
Expenses that are deducted from the Fund’s assets, including advisory fees, 12b-1 distribution expenses and other expenses   0.30%   1.29%

The footnote to the Total Annual Pacific Select Fund Operating Expenses section is amended by adding the following:

The expense information has been restated to reflect fees that will be effective on February 1, 2005.

The Examples section is replaced with the following:

The following examples are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in your Contract with the cost of investing in other variable annuity contracts. These costs include Contract transaction expenses, the maximum periodic Contract expenses (including the combination of optional Riders whose cumulative expenses totaled more than any other combination of optional Riders), Separate Account annual expenses, and maximum and minimum Portfolio fees and expenses for the year ended December 31, 2003, and to reflect fees that will be effective on February 1, 2005. Premium taxes and/or other taxes may also be applicable.

The examples assume that you invest $10,000 in the Contract for the time periods indicated. They also assume that your Investment has a 5% return each year and assumes the maximum and minimum fees and


 

expenses of all of the Investment Options available. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your maximum and minimum costs would be:

  If you surrendered your Contract:

                 
1 Year 3 Years 5 Years 10 Years
Maximum*
  $1,440   $2,495   $3,518   $5,942
Minimum*
  $983   $1,165   $1,372   $2,005

  If you annuitized your Contract:
                 
1 Year 3 Years 5 Years 10 Years
Maximum*
  $1,440   $1,865   $3,068   $5,942
Minimum*
  $983   $535   $922   $2,005

  If you did not surrender or annuitize, but left the money in your Contract:

                 
1 Year 3 Years 5 Years 10 Years
Maximum*
  $630   $1,865   $3,068   $5,942
Minimum*
  $173   $535   $922   $2,005

  * In calculating the examples above, we used the maximum and minimum total operating expenses of all of the Portfolios as shown in the Fees And Expenses Paid By The Fund section of the Fund’s Prospectus adjusted to reflect fees that will be effective on February 1, 2005. For more information on fees and expenses, see CHARGES, FEES AND DEDUCTIONS in this Prospectus, and see the Fund’s Prospectus. See the FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS section in the Prospectus for condensed financial information about the Subaccounts.

PURCHASING YOUR CONTRACT AND OPTIONAL RIDERS is amended by adding the following:

Purchasing the Guaranteed Income Advantage Plus (GIA Plus) Rider (Optional)

You may purchase the GIA Plus Rider (subject to state availability) on the Contract Date or on any Contract Anniversary.


 

You may purchase the GIA Plus Rider only if:

  the age of each Annuitant is eighty (80) years or younger on the date the Rider is purchased, and
  the entire Contract Value is invested according to an asset allocation program established and maintained by us for this Rider. If you use our DCA Plus program in conjunction with such an asset allocation program, you will be considered to have met this requirement.

Except as otherwise provided below, the GIA Plus Rider will remain in effect until the earlier of:

  the day any portion of the Contract Value is no longer invested according to an asset allocation program established and maintained by us for the Rider,
  the day we receive notification from you to terminate the Rider,
  the day of the first death of an Owner or the date of death of the sole surviving Annuitant,
  the date the Contract is terminated in accordance with the terms of the Contract, or
  the Annuity Date.

Upon your request, the GIA Plus Rider may be terminated at any time. If your request to terminate the GIA Plus Rider is received at our Service Center within thirty (30) days after a Contract Anniversary, the GIA Plus Rider will terminate on that Contract Anniversary. If your request to terminate the GIA Plus Rider is received at our Service Center more than thirty (30) days after a Contract Anniversary, the GIA Plus Rider will terminate the day we receive the request.

If the GIA Plus Rider is terminated, you must wait until a Contract Anniversary that is at least one (1) year from the Effective Date of the termination before the GIA Plus Rider may be purchased again (if available). In addition, you cannot switch from the GIA, GIA 5 or GIA II Riders to the GIA Plus Rider on the same Contract Anniversary. You must wait one (1) year from the Effective Date of termination of the GIA, GIA 5 or GIA II Riders before the GIA Plus Rider may be purchased.

Continuation of Rider if Surviving Spouse Continues Contract

If the Owner dies while this Rider is in effect and if the surviving spouse of the deceased Owner elects to continue the Contract in accordance with its terms, then the provisions of this Rider will continue, unless otherwise terminated.

Purchasing the Income Access Plus Rider (Optional)

Subject to state availability, you may purchase the optional Income Access Plus Rider on the Contract Date or on any Contract Anniversary if:

  the age of each Annuitant is eighty five (85) years or younger on the date of purchase, and
  your entire Contract Value is invested in an asset allocation program established and maintained by us for this Rider during the entire period that the Rider is in effect. If you use our DCA Plus program in conjunction with such an asset allocation program, you will be considered to have met this requirement.

You cannot request a termination of the Rider. Except as otherwise provided below, the Rider will automatically terminate on the earliest of:

  the day any portion of the Contract Value is no longer invested according to an asset allocation program established and maintained by us for this Rider,
  the day the Remaining Protected Balance is reduced to zero,
  the day of the first death of an Owner or the date of death of the sole surviving Annuitant, except as otherwise provided in the paragraph below,


 

  the day the Contract is terminated in accordance with the provisions of the Contract, except as otherwise provided in the paragraph below, or
  the Annuity Date.

The Contract and the Rider will not terminate on the first death of an Owner or death of the sole surviving Annuitant, or the day the Contract is terminated in accordance with the provisions of the Contract if, at the time of those events, the Contract Value is zero and we are making pre-authorized withdrawals of the Remaining Protected Balance under the provisions of the Rider. If we are making pre-authorized withdrawals, the Contract and the Rider will terminate on the Contract Anniversary immediately following the day the Remaining Protected Balance is zero.

If this Rider is terminated as a result of having any portion of the Contract Value no longer invested according to an asset allocation program established and maintained by us, you must wait until a Contract Anniversary that is at least one (1) year from the Effective Date of termination before this Rider may be purchased again (if available). In addition, you cannot switch from the Income Access Rider to the Income Access Plus Rider on the same Contract Anniversary. You must wait until a Contract Anniversary that is at least one (1) year from the Effective Date of termination of the Income Access Rider before the Income Access Plus Rider may be purchased.

Continuation of Rider if Surviving Spouse Continues Contract

If the Owner dies while this Rider is in effect and if the surviving spouse of the deceased Owner elects to continue the Contract in accordance with its terms, then the provisions of this Rider will continue, unless otherwise terminated.

CHARGES, FEES AND DEDUCTIONS is amended by adding the following:

Guaranteed Income Advantage Plus (GIA Plus) Annual Charge (Optional Rider)

If you purchase the GIA Plus Rider (subject to state availability), we will deduct a GIA Annual Charge (“Charge”) for expenses related to the GIA Plus Rider. The annual Charge is equal to 0.50% multiplied by the greater of the Guaranteed Income Base or the Contract Value on the Contract Anniversary (Guaranteed Income Base is described in the OTHER OPTIONAL RIDERS – INCOME ACCESS PLUS RIDER section in this supplement). The Charge for a Contract Year will be deducted on the Contract Anniversary following that Contract Year.

We will deduct the Charge from your Investment Options on a proportionate basis:

  on each Contract Anniversary the GIA Plus Rider remains in effect, and
  if the GIA Plus Rider is terminated.

If the GIA Plus Rider is terminated on a Contract Anniversary, the full annual Charge will be deducted from the Contract Value. The full annual charge will be based on the greater of the Guaranteed Income Base or the Contract Value on that Contract Anniversary. If the GIA Plus Rider is terminated on a day other than a Contract Anniversary, we will prorate the annual Charge to the date of termination. The prorated Charge amount will be based on the greater of the Guaranteed Income Base or the Contract Value as of the day the Rider terminates. The prorated Charge will be deducted from the Contract Value on the earlier of the day the Contract terminates or the Contract Anniversary immediately following the day the GIA Plus Rider terminates. We will waive the annual charge if the GIA Plus Rider terminates as a result of death of an Owner or sole surviving Annuitant or upon full annuitization of your Contract.


 

Any portion of the Charge we deduct from any fixed option will not be greater than the annual interest credited in excess of 3%.

Income Access Plus Annual Charge (Optional Rider)

If you purchase the Income Access Plus Rider (subject to state availability), we will deduct, annually, an Income Access Plus Charge (“Charge”) from your Investment Options on a proportionate basis on each Contract Anniversary that the Rider remains in effect following the Effective Date of the Rider, and if you terminate the Rider. The annual Charge is equal to 0.40% multiplied by your Contract Value on the Contract Anniversary. The annual Charge for a Contract Year will be deducted on the Contract Anniversary following that Contract Year.

If the Rider terminates on a Contract Anniversary, the full annual Charge will be deducted from the Contract Value on that Contract Anniversary. If the Rider terminates on a day other than a Contract Anniversary the Charge will be prorated to the date of termination. The prorated annual Charge will be deducted based on the Contract Value as of the day the Rider terminates. The prorated Charge will be deducted from the Contract Value on the earlier of the day the Contract terminates or the Contract Anniversary immediately following the day the Rider terminates. We will waive the annual Charge if the Rider terminates due to death of an Owner or sole surviving Annuitant or upon full annuitization of your Contract.

The annual Charge percentage may change if you elect the optional Reset provision in the Rider, but will never be more than the annual Charge percentage being charged for new issues of this same Rider and will not be more than a maximum annual Charge percentage of 1.20%. If you do not elect the optional Reset, your annual Charge percentage will remain the same as it was on the Effective Date of the Rider.

Any portion of the annual Charge we deduct from a fixed option will not be greater than the annual interest credited in excess of 3%.

The following sections

  Earnings Enhancement Guarantee (EEG) Annual Charge (Optional Rider)
  Guaranteed Protection Advantage 5 (GPA 5) Annual Charge (Optional Rider)
  Guaranteed Protection Advantage (GPA) Annual Charge (Optional Rider)
  Guaranteed Income Advantage II (GIA II) Annual Charge (Optional Rider)
  Guaranteed Income Advantage 5 (GIA 5) Annual Charge (Optional Rider)
  Guaranteed Income Advantage (GIA) Annual Charge (Optional Rider), and
  Income Access Annual Charge (Optional Rider)

are amended by adding:

If the effective date of termination of the Rider or Contract is on a day other than the Contract Anniversary, any Charge imposed for the Rider will be prorated to the effective date of termination.

RETIREMENT BENEFITS AND OTHER PAYOUTS – Choosing Your Annuity Date

is amended by adding the following:

In accordance with recent changes in laws and regulations, required minimum distributions may be calculated based on the sum of the contract value and the actuarial value of any additional death benefits and benefits from optional riders that you have purchased under the contract. As a result, the required minimum distributions may be larger than if the calculation were based on the contract value only, which may in turn result in an earlier (but not before the required beginning date) distribution under the Contract and an


 

increased amount of taxable income distributed to the contract owner, and a reduction of death benefits and the benefits of any optional riders.

WITHDRAWALS – Optional Withdrawals is amended by replacing the first paragraph of the Amount Available for Withdrawal subsection with the following:

The amount available for withdrawal is your Net Contract Value at the end of the Business Day on which your withdrawal request is effective, less any applicable optional Rider Charges, withdrawal charge, withdrawal transaction fee, and any charge for premium taxes and/or other taxes. The amount we send to you (your “withdrawal proceeds”) will also reflect any required or requested federal and state income tax withholding. See the FEDERAL TAX STATUS and THE GENERAL ACCOUNT – Withdrawals and Transfers sections of this Prospectus.

OTHER OPTIONAL RIDERS is amended by adding the following:

GUARANTEED INCOME ADVANTAGE PLUS (GIA PLUS) RIDER

If you purchase the optional GIA Plus Rider (subject to state availability), you may, prior to the Annuity Date, choose any of the Annuity Options described in your Contract, or you may choose the GIA Plus Annuity Option provided this Rider has been in effect for at least ten (10) years from its Effective Date. If you choose the GIA Plus Annuity Option, you must choose fixed annuity payments and the entire amount available for annuitization at the time you convert to the GIA Plus Annuity Option must be annuitized. The guaranteed income purchased per $1,000 of the net amount applied to the annuity payments will be based on an effective annual interest rate of 2.0% and the 1996 US Annuity 2000 Mortality Table with the age set back eight (8) years.

Annuity Payments – The annuity payments that may be elected under the GIA Plus Annuity Option are:

  Life Only,
  Life with 10 years or more Period Certain,
  Joint and Survivor Life, or
  20 years or more Period Certain.

The Rider contains annuity tables for each GIA Plus Annuity Option available.

On the Annuity Date, the Net Amount applied to the annuity payments under the GIA Plus Annuity Option will be equal to the greater of the Guaranteed Income Base on that day or the GIA Plus Step-Up Value on that day, less the following:

  applicable withdrawal charges resulting from the conversion to the GIA Plus Annuity Option,
  applicable annual charges for expenses related to other optional benefit riders attached to the Contract that are in effect as of the Annuity Date, and
  charges for premium taxes and/or other taxes.

If you elect the GIA Plus Annuity Option, the waiver of withdrawal charges as described in the Contract will not apply. (See OTHER OPTIONAL RIDERS – Withdrawal Charges section in this supplement.

Initial Values – The Guaranteed Income Base, GIA Plus Withdrawal Base, GIA Plus Withdrawal Amount and GIA Plus Step-Up Value are values used in determining the Net Amount applied on the Annuity Date to provide payments under the GIA Plus Annuity Option.


 

The initial values are determined on the Rider Effective Date as follows:

  if this Rider is effective on the Contract Date, the Guaranteed Income Base and GIA Plus Withdrawal Base are equal to the initial Purchase Payment.
  if this Rider is effective on a Contract Anniversary, the Guaranteed Income Base and GIA Plus Withdrawal Base are equal to the Contract Value on that day.
  the GIA Plus Withdrawal Amount for the Contract Year beginning on the Rider Effective Date is equal to 5% of the GIA Plus Withdrawal Base.
  the GIA Plus Step-Up Value is equal to the Contract Value on the Rider Effective Date.

The GIA Plus Withdrawal Base and GIA Plus Withdrawal Amount after the Rider Effective Date are recalculated only on each subsequent Contract Anniversary.

Subsequent Values – The Guaranteed Income Base, GIA Plus Withdrawal Base, GIA Plus Withdrawal Amount and GIA Plus Step-Up Value after the Rider Effective Date are determined as follows:

Guaranteed Income Base – On any day after the Rider Effective Date, the Guaranteed Income Base is equal to:

  the Guaranteed Income Base on the prior day, multiplied by a daily factor of 1.000133680 which is equivalent to increasing the Guaranteed Income Base at an annual growth rate of 5%, plus
  Purchase Payments received by us on that day, less
  adjustments for withdrawals made on that day.

The adjustment for each withdrawal is calculated by multiplying the Guaranteed Income Base immediately prior to the withdrawal by the percentage decrease in Contract Value as a result of the withdrawal.

However, on each Contract Anniversary after the Rider Effective Date, if there is at least one withdrawal during the prior Contract Year and the cumulative withdrawals for that Contract Year do not exceed the sum of:

  the GIA Plus Withdrawal Amount for that Contract Year, and
  any remaining dollar amount of the prior Contract Year’s GIA Plus Withdrawal Amount,

the Guaranteed Income Base as of that Contract Anniversary will be reset to equal:

  the Guaranteed Income Base on the Rider Effective Date or prior Contract Anniversary, whichever is later, increased at an annual growth rate of 5%, plus
  the amount of any subsequent Purchase Payments received by us during the prior Contract Year, each increased at an annual growth rate of 5% from the effective date of that Purchase Payment, less
  the amount of cumulative withdrawals during the prior Contract Year.

The 5% annual growth rate will stop accruing as of the earlier of:

  the Contract Anniversary prior to the youngest Annuitant’s 81st birthday, or
  the day this Rider terminates.

GIA Plus Withdrawal Base – On each Contract Anniversary after the Rider Effective Date, the GIA Plus Withdrawal Base is equal to:

  the GIA Plus Withdrawal Base determined on the Rider Effective Date, plus
  the amount of any subsequent Purchase Payments received by us after the Rider Effective Date, up through the day immediately prior to that Contract Anniversary.


 

GIA Plus Withdrawal Amount – On each Contract Anniversary after the Rider Effective Date, the GIA Plus Withdrawal Amount for the Contract Year beginning on that Contract Anniversary is equal to 5% of the GIA Plus Withdrawal Base as of that Contract Anniversary.

GIA Plus Step-Up Value – On any day after the Rider Effective Date, the GIA Plus Step-Up Value is equal to:

  the GIA Plus Step-Up Value as of the prior day, plus
  Purchase Payments received by us on that day, less
  adjustment for withdrawals made on that day.

The adjustment for each withdrawal is calculated by multiplying the GIA Plus Step-Up Value immediately prior to the withdrawal by the percentage decrease in Contract Value as a result of that withdrawal.

On any Contract Anniversary after the Rider Effective Date and prior to the youngest Annuitant’s 81st birthday, the GIA Plus Step-Up Value is set equal to the greater of:

  the Contract Value as of that Contract Anniversary, or
  the GIA Plus Step-Up Value immediately prior to that Contract Anniversary.

The GIA Plus Step-Up Value will then be adjusted for any Purchase Payments or withdrawals on that Contract Anniversary in accordance with the first paragraph of this subsection.

The GIA Plus Step-Up Value on each Contract Anniversary on and after the youngest Annuitant’s 81st birthday is equal to the GIA Plus Step-Up Value immediately prior to that Contract Anniversary.

Partial Conversion of Net Contract Value for Annuity Payments – If a portion of the Net Contract Value (Contract Value less Contract Debt) is converted to provide payments under an Annuity Option described in the Contract at any time before you annuitize under the GIA Plus Annuity Option, the amount converted will be considered a “Withdrawal” for purposes of determining withdrawal adjustments to the Guaranteed Income Base and GIA Plus Step-Up Value. A withdrawal charge may also apply.

Limitation on Subsequent Purchase Payments – For purposes of this Rider, we reserve the right to restrict additional Purchase Payments that result in a total of all Purchase Payments received on or after the first (1st) Contract Anniversary to exceed $100,000 without our prior approval. This provision only applies if the Contract to which this Rider is attached, permits Purchase Payments after the first (1st) Contract Anniversary, measured from the Contract Date.

Sample Calculations – Hypothetical sample calculations are in the attached APPENDIX B: GUARANTEED INCOME ADVANTAGE PLUS RIDER SAMPLE CALCULATIONS to the Prospectus. The examples provided are based on certain hypothetical assumptions and are for example purposes only. They are not intended to serve as projections of future investment returns.

INCOME ACCESS PLUS RIDER

If you purchase the Income Access Plus Rider (subject to state availability), on any day this Rider allows for withdrawals up to the Protected Payment Amount, regardless of market performance, until the Remaining Protected Balance is reduced to zero (0). This Rider also provides for an amount (an “Income Access Credit”) to be added to the Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance.

In addition, on any Contract Anniversary beginning with the third (3rd) Contract Anniversary after the Rider Effective Date or the most recent Reset Date, whichever is later, you may elect to reset the Remaining Protected Balance to an amount equal to 100% of the Contract Value on that Contract Anniversary.

For purposes of this Rider, the term “withdrawal” includes any applicable withdrawal charges and charges for premium taxes and/or other taxes, if applicable. Amounts withdrawn under this Rider will reduce the


 

Contract Value by the amount withdrawn and will be subject to the same conditions, limitations, restrictions and all other fees, charges and deductions, if applicable, as withdrawals otherwise made under the provisions of the Contract.

Protected Payment Amount – The maximum amount that can be withdrawn each Contract Year under this Rider without reducing the Protected Payment Base. The Protected Payment Amount on any day after the Rider Effective Date is equal to the lesser of:

  5% of the Protected Payment Base as of that day, less cumulative withdrawals during that Contract Year, or
  the Remaining Protected Balance as of that day.

Protected Payment Base – An amount used to determine the Protected Payment Amount. The Protected Payment Base will remain unchanged except as otherwise described under the provisions of this Rider.

Remaining Protected Balance – The amount available for future withdrawals made under this Rider.

Income Access Credit – An amount added to the Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance.

Reset Date – Any Contract Anniversary beginning with the third (3rd) Contract Anniversary after the Rider Effective Date or the most recent Reset Date, whichever is later, on which you elect to Reset the remaining Protected Balance to an amount equal to 100% of the Contract Value, determined as of that Contract Anniversary.

Initial Values – The initial Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance amounts are equal to:

  Initial Purchase Payment, if the Rider Effective Date is on the Contract Date, or
  Contract Value, if the Rider Effective Date is on a Contract Anniversary.

The initial Protected Payment Amount on the Rider Effective Date is equal to 5% of the initial Protected Payment Base.

Subsequent Purchase Payments – If we receive additional Purchase Payments after the Rider Effective Date, we will increase the Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance by the amount of the Purchase Payments. However, for purposes of this Rider, we reserve the right to restrict additional Purchase Payments that result in a total of all Purchase Payments received on or after the later of the first (1st) Contract Anniversary or most recent Reset Date to exceed $100,000 without our prior approval. This provision only applies if the Contract to which this Rider is attached, permits Purchase Payments after the first (1st) Contract Anniversary, measured from the Contract Date.

Income Access Credit – On each Contract Anniversary after the Rider Effective Date, an Income Access Credit will be added to the Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance, as of that Contract Anniversary, if:

  no withdrawals have occurred after the Rider Effective Date or the most recent Reset Date, whichever is later, and
  that Contract Anniversary is prior to the sixth (6th) Contract Anniversary, measured from the Rider Effective Date or the most recent Reset Date, whichever is later.

The Income Access Credit is equal to 6% of the total of:

  the Remaining Protected Balance on the Rider Effective Date or the most recent Reset Date, whichever is later, and
  the cumulative Purchase Payments received after the Rider Effective Date or most recent Reset Date, whichever is later,

as of the Contract Anniversary on which the Income Access Credit is added.


 

Once a withdrawal has occurred, no Income Access Credit will be added to the Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance on any Contract Anniversary following the withdrawal, unless you elect to reset the Remaining Protected Balance.

Income Access Credits will not increase your cost basis and when distributed, may be recognizable as taxable ordinary income.

Withdrawal of Protected Payment Amount – While this Rider is in effect, you may withdraw up to the Protected Payment Amount without reducing the Protected Payment Base, regardless of market performance, until the Remaining Protected Balance equals zero.

If a withdrawal does not exceed the Protected Payment Amount immediately prior to that withdrawal, the Protected Payment Base will remain unchanged. The Remaining Protected Balance will decrease by the withdrawal amount immediately following the withdrawal.

If a withdrawal exceeds the Protected Payment Amount immediately prior to that withdrawal, we will adjust the Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance immediately following the withdrawal, to the lesser of:

  the Contract Value immediately after the withdrawal, or
  the Remaining Protected Balance immediately prior to the withdrawal, less the withdrawal amount.

A withdrawal may not exceed the amount available for withdrawal under the Contract if such withdrawal would exceed the Protected Payment Amount.

If a withdrawal does not exceed the Protected Payment Amount and reduces the Contract Value to zero, the following will apply:

  5% of the Protected Payment Base will be paid each year until the Remaining Protected Balance is reduced to zero. The payments will be made under a series of pre-authorized withdrawals under a payment frequency, as elected by you, but no less frequently than annually,
  no additional Purchase Payments will be accepted under the Contract,
  any Remaining Protected Balance will not be available for payment in a lump sum and may not be applied to provide payments under an Annuity Option, and
  the Contract will cease to provide any death benefit.

If the Owner or sole surviving Annuitant dies and the Contract Value is zero as of the date of death, any Remaining Protected Balance will be paid to the Beneficiary under the series of pre-authorized withdrawals and payment frequency then in effect at the time of the Owner’s or sole surviving Annuitant’s death.

Election to Reset Remaining Protected Balance – You may, on any Contract Anniversary beginning with the third (3rd) Contract Anniversary, measured from the Rider Effective Date or the most recent Reset Date, whichever is later, elect to reset the Remaining Protected Balance to an amount equal to 100% of the Contract Value as of that Contract Anniversary.

The annual Charge percentage may change if you elect to reset the Remaining Protected Balance. However, the annual Charge percentage will never exceed the annual Charge percentage then in effect for new issues of this same Rider. If we are no longer issuing this Rider, any change in the annual Charge percentage will not result in an annual Charge percentage that exceeds the maximum annual Charge percentage (See CHARGES, FEES and DEDUCTIONS – Income Access Plus Rider).

On each Reset Date and after any Income Access Credit is applied, we will set the Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance to an amount equal to 100% of the Contract Value as of the Reset Date.


 

The election to reset the Remaining Protected Balance must be received, in a form satisfactory to us, at our Service Center within thirty (30) days after the Contract Anniversary on which the reset is effective. Your election to reset the Remaining Protected Balance may result in a reduction in the Protected Payment Base, Remaining Protected Balance, Protected Payment Amount and Income Access Credit. We will provide you with written confirmation of your election.

On and after each Reset Date, the provisions of this Rider shall apply in the same manner as they applied when the Rider was originally issued. Eligibility for any Income Access Credits, the limitations and restrictions on Purchase Payments and withdrawals, the deduction of annual Charges and any future reset options available on and after the Reset Date, will again apply and will be measured from that Reset Date.

Sample Calculations – Hypothetical sample calculations are in the attached APPENDIX C: INCOME ACCESS PLUS RIDER SAMPLE CALCULATIONS to the Prospectus. The examples provided are based on certain hypothetical assumptions and are for example purposes only. The examples are not intended to serve as projections of future investment returns.

This section is amended by adding the following:

Withdrawal Charges

No sales charge is imposed on any Purchase Payment. Your Purchase Payments may, however, be subject to a withdrawal charge. This charge may apply to amounts you withdraw under your Contract prior to the Annuity Date, depending on the length of time each Purchase Payment has been invested and on the amount you withdraw. No withdrawal charge is imposed on:

  •  death benefit proceeds, except as provided under the Amount of the Death Benefit: Death of a Contract Owner Section for certain Non-Natural Owners.
 
  •  amounts converted after the first Contract Anniversary to a life contingent Annuity Option or an Annuity Option with a period certain of at least seven years that is offered under the Contract,
 
  •  withdrawals by Owners to meet the minimum distribution rules for Qualified Contracts as they apply to amounts held under the Contract, or
 
  •  subject to state variation and medical evidence satisfactory to us, after the first Contract Anniversary, full or partial withdrawals if the Annuitant has been diagnosed with a medically determinable condition that results in a life expectancy of twelve (12) months or less.

Free Withdrawals

Subject to the amount available for withdrawal provisions as described in the withdrawal section, during a Contract Year you may withdraw free of withdrawal charge amounts up to your “eligible Purchase Payments”. Qualified plans have special restrictions on withdrawals. See Special Restrictions Under Qualified Plans on page 43. Eligible Purchase Payments include 10% of all Purchase Payments that have an “age” of less than eight years, plus 100% of all Purchase Payments that have an “age” of eight years or more. Once all Purchase Payments have been deemed withdrawn, any withdrawal will be deemed a withdrawal of your earnings, which includes Contract Value attributable to any Credit Enhancement, and will be free of the withdrawal charge. For purposes of determining the free withdrawal amounts, withdrawal of mandatory required minimums from certain Qualified Plans are included within the calculations. For those Contracts issued to a Charitable Remainder Trust (CRT), the amount available for withdrawal free of withdrawal charges during a Contract Year includes all eligible Purchase Payments plus all earnings even if all Purchase Payments have not been deemed withdrawn.


 

  Example: You make an initial Purchase Payment of $10,000 in Contract Year 1, and make additional Purchase Payments of $1,000 and $6,000 in Contract Year 2. With Earnings (Credit Enhancements included), your Contract Value in Contract Year 3 is $19,000. In Contract Year 3, you may withdraw $1,700 free of the withdrawal charge (your total Purchase Payments were $17,000, so 10% of that equals $1,700). After this withdrawal, your Contract Value is $17,300. In Contract Year 4, you may withdraw another $1,700 (10% of the total Purchase Payments of $17,000) free of any withdrawal charge.

How the Charge is Determined

The amount of the charge depends on how long each Purchase Payment was held under your Contract. Each Purchase Payment you make is considered to have a certain “age,” depending on the length of time since that payment was effective. A Purchase Payment is “one year old” or has an “age of one” from the day it is effective until the beginning of the day preceding your next Contract Anniversary; beginning on the day preceding that Contract Anniversary, your Purchase Payment will have an “age of two,” and increases in age on the day preceding each Contract Anniversary. When you withdraw an amount subject to the withdrawal charge, the “age” of the Purchase Payment you withdraw determines the level of withdrawal charge as follows:

         
Withdrawal
Charge as a
percentage
of the
“Age” of Purchase Payment Purchase Payment
in Years withdrawn


1
    9 %
2
    9 %
3
    7 %
4
    7 %
5
    5 %
6
    5 %
7
    4 %
8 or more
    0 %

For Contracts issued before May 1, 2004 or, if later, before the date of state availability of the above withdrawal charge table, the withdrawal charge as a percentage of the Purchase Payment withdrawn in years 1 and 2 is 7%. Ask your registered representative what rates apply in your state.

We calculate your withdrawal charge by assuming your withdrawal is applied to Purchase Payments first and in the order your Purchase Payments were received. The withdrawal charge will be deducted proportionally among all Investment Options from which your withdrawal occurs. If you do not specify Investment Options, your withdrawal will be made from all your Investment Options proportionately. We calculate withdrawal charges before any deductions for other charges due or taxes are made. The seven year withdrawal charge period is longer than such period for other variable annuity contracts we offer.

The withdrawal charge is designed to reimburse us for sales commissions and other expenses associated with the promotion and solicitation of offers for the Contracts, although we expect that our actual expenses will be greater than the amount of the withdrawal charge.


 

FEDERAL TAX STATUS – Loans is amended as follows:

The third paragraph in the Loan Terms subsection is replaced with the following:

If you purchase the GPA, GPA5, GIA5, GIA Plus, Income Access, or the Income Access Plus Riders, there may be adverse consequences to taking a loan while these Riders are in effect. If you have an existing loan on your Contract, you should carefully consider whether these Riders are appropriate for you.

APPENDIX B: GUARANTEED INCOME ADVANTAGE PLUS RIDER SAMPLE CALCULATIONS is added:

GUARANTEED INCOME ADVANTAGE PLUS RIDER

SAMPLE CALCULATIONS

The numeric examples shown in this section are based on certain assumptions. They have been provided to assist in understanding the benefits provided by the Guaranteed Income Advantage Plus (“GIA Plus”) Rider, and to demonstrate how Purchase Payments received and withdrawals made from the Contract prior to the Annuity Date affect the values and benefits under this Rider over an extended period of time. These examples are not intended to serve as projections of future investment returns.

Example #1 – The initial values on the Rider Effective Date based on an Initial Purchase Payment of $100,000. The Initial Purchase Payment is assumed to be the Contract Value if the Rider Effective Date is on a Contract Anniversary.

Example #2 – Subsequent Purchase Payment received during the first Contract Year and its effect on the values and balances under this Rider. This example assumes that no withdrawals have been made.

(TABLE)

In addition to Purchase Payments, the Contract Value is further subject to increases and/or decreases during a Contract Year as a result of additional amounts credited, charges, fees and other deductions, and increases and/or decreases in the investment performance of the Variable Account.


 

The Guaranteed Income Base prior to receipt of the Purchase Payment is assumed to have accumulated to $101,227. This amount is derived by multiplying each day’s Guaranteed Income Base by the daily factor of 1.000133680. As a result of the subsequent Purchase Payment, the Guaranteed Income Base is increased to $201,227 ($101,227 + $100,000). The Guaranteed Income Base will assume to accumulate to $208,727 at the next Contract Anniversary, by multiplying each day’s Guaranteed Income Base immediately after receipt of the subsequent Purchase Payment by the daily factor of 1.000133680.

The GIA Plus Step-Up Value prior to receipt of the Purchase Payment is $100,000. As a result of the subsequent Purchase Payment, the GIA Plus Step-Up Value is increased to $200,000 ($100,000 + $100,000). On the Contract Anniversary at the beginning of Contract Year 2, the Contract Value ($205,242) is greater than the GIA Plus Step-Up Value immediately prior to that Contract Anniversary ($200,000). As a result, the GIA Plus Step-Up Value as of that Contract Anniversary is equal to the Contract Value on that Contract Anniversary ($205,242).

The GIA Plus Withdrawal Base on the Contract Anniversary at the beginning of Contract Year 2 is equal to the GIA Plus Withdrawal Base on the Rider Effective Date ($100,000) plus cumulative Purchase Payments received after the Rider Effective Date ($100,000). As a result of the subsequent Purchase Payment, the GIA Plus Withdrawal Base on the Contract Anniversary at the beginning of Contract Year 2 is equal to $200,000 ($100,000 + $100,000).

The GIA Plus Withdrawal Amount for Contract Year 2 is determined on the Contract Anniversary at the beginning of Contract Year 2, and is equal to 5% of the GIA Plus Withdrawal Base on that Contract Anniversary (5% of $200,000). As a result of the subsequent Purchase Payment, the GIA Plus Withdrawal Amount for Contract Year 2 is equal to $10,000.

Since no withdrawals were made during Contract Year 1, the GIA Plus Withdrawal Amount for Contract Year 1 ($5,000) becomes the remaining dollar amount of the prior Contract Year’s GIA Plus Withdrawal Amount for Contract Year 2.

Example #3 – Cumulative withdrawals during Contract Year 2 exceeding the sum of: (a) the GIA Plus Withdrawal Amount for Contract Year 2; and (b) the remaining dollar amount of the prior Contract Year’s GIA Plus Withdrawal Amount for Contract Year 2. The withdrawal is assumed to result in a 10% reduction in the Contract Value.

(TABLE)

Since the $20,830 withdrawal exceeded the sum of: (a) the GIA Plus Withdrawal Amount for Contract Year 2; and (b) the remaining dollar amount of the prior Contract’s Year’s GIA Plus Withdrawal Amount for Contract Year 2, the remaining dollar amount of the prior Contract Year’s GIA Plus Withdrawal Amount for Contract Year 3 is zero. Withdrawals are first applied to the remaining dollar amount of the prior Contract Year’s GIA Plus Withdrawal Amount, if any, until exhausted, then to the GIA Plus Withdrawal Amount for the current Contract Year, until exhausted.

The GIA Plus Withdrawal Amount for Contract Year 3 is determined on the Contract Anniversary at the beginning of Contract Year 3, and is equal to 5% of the GIA Plus Withdrawal Base on that Contract Anniversary (5% of $200,000). As a result, the GIA Plus Withdrawal Amount for Contract Year 3 is equal to $10,000. The GIA Plus Withdrawal Amount for any Contract Year will not be less than zero.

Immediately after the withdrawal, the Guaranteed Income Base and the GIA Plus Step-Up Value are reduced by the percentage decrease (10%) in Contract Value as a result of the withdrawal.


 

Since no subsequent Purchase Payments were received during Contract Year 2, the GIA Plus Withdrawal Base at the beginning of Contract Year 3 remains unchanged.

Example #4 – Cumulative withdrawals during Contract Year 3 not exceeding the sum of: (a) the GIA Plus Withdrawal Amount for Contract Year 3; and (b) the remaining dollar value of the prior Contract Year’s GIA Plus Withdrawal Amount for Contract Year 3.

(TABLE)

Because cumulative withdrawals for Contract Year 3 did not exceed the sum of: (a) the GIA Plus Withdrawal Amount for Contract Year 3; and (b) the remaining dollar amount of the prior Contract Year’s GIA Plus Withdrawal Amount for Contract Year 3, the Guaranteed Income Base on the Contract Anniversary at the beginning of Contract Year 4 is calculated as follows:

     
Guaranteed Income Base on the Contract Anniversary at the beginning of Contract Year 3:
  $197,247
Increased at an annual rate of 5% to the Contract Anniversary at the beginning of Contract Year 4:
  + $9,862
Reduced by the amount equal to the amount withdrawn in Contract Year 3:
  - $8,000
   
Guaranteed Income Base on the Contract Anniversary at the beginning of Contract Year 4:
  $199,109

Since no subsequent Purchase Payments were received during Contract Year 3, the GIA Plus Withdrawal Base at the beginning of Contract Year 4 remains unchanged.

The GIA Plus Withdrawal Amount for Contract Year 4 is determined on the Contract Anniversary at the beginning of Contract Year 4, and is equal to 5% of the GIA Plus Withdrawal Base on that Contract Anniversary (5% of $200,000). As a result, the GIA Plus Withdrawal Amount for Contract Year 4 is equal to $10,000.

Because cumulative withdrawals for Contract Year 3 did not exceed the sum of: (a) the GIA Plus Withdrawal Amount for Contract Year 3; and (b) the remaining dollar value of the prior Contract Year’s GIA Plus Withdrawal Amount for Contract Year 3; the dollar amount of the GIA Plus Withdrawal Amount for Contact Year 3 remaining ($2,000) becomes the remaining dollar amount of the prior Contract Year’s GIA Plus Withdrawal Amount for Contract Year 4.


 

Example #5 – Rider values on each Contract Anniversary based on an Initial Purchase Payment of $100,000 paid on the Contract Date. The values further assume that no subsequent Purchase Payments are received and no withdrawals are taken during the first ten (10) Contract Years after the Rider Effective Date. The Initial Purchase Payment is assumed to be the Contract Value if the Rider is effective on a Contract Anniversary.

Should the Contract annuitize immediately after the Rider has been in effect for at least ten (10) years and the GIA Plus Annuity Option has been elected to provide such payments, the net amount applied on the Annuity Date as a single premium to provide the payments is equal to the greater of:

  (a) the Guaranteed Income Base; or
  (b) the GIA Plus Step-Up Value; less any:
  (c) applicable withdrawal charges resulting from the conversion to the GIA Plus Annuity Option;
  (d) applicable annual charges for expenses related to other optional benefit riders attached to the Contract that are in effect as of the Annuity Date; and
  (e) charges for premium taxes and/or other taxes.

Under Example #5, the net amount applied on the Annuity Date (the Contract Anniversary at the beginning of Contract Year 11) is equal to the Guaranteed Income Base ($162,889), as it is greater than the GIA Plus Step-Up Value ($115,927) as of the Annuity Date, less the amounts in (c), (d) and (e) above, if any.


 

Under Example #6, the net amount applied on the Annuity Date (the Contract Anniversary at the beginning of Contract Year 11) is equal to the Guaranteed Income Base ($100,000), as it is greater than the GIA Plus Step-Up Value ($61,983) as of the Annuity Date, less the amounts in (c), (d) and (e) above, if any.

INCOME ACCESS PLUS RIDER

SAMPLE CALCULATIONS

The numeric examples shown in this section are based on certain assumptions. They have been provided to assist in understanding the benefits provided by this Rider and to demonstrate how Purchase Payments received and withdrawals made from the Contract prior to the Annuity Date affect the values and benefits under this Rider over an extended period of time. These examples are not intended to serve as projections of future investment returns.

Example #1 – Income Access Credit; No Subsequent Purchase Payments; No Withdrawals; No Reset in Remaining Protected Balance.

The values shown below are based on the following assumptions:

  Initial Purchase Payment = $100,000
  Rider Effective Date = Contract Date
  No subsequent Purchase Payments are received.
  No withdrawals taken.
  No reset of the Remaining Protected Balance

    11           $134,392     $0     $130,000   $6,500   $130,000    

On the Rider Effective Date, the initial values are set as follows:

  Protected Payment Base = Initial Purchase Payment = $100,000
  Remaining Protected Balance = Initial Purchase Payment = $100,000
  Protected Payment Amount = 5% of Protected Payment Base = $5,000

Since no withdrawal occurred prior to the Contract Anniversary at the beginning of Contract Year 6, an Income Access Credit of $6,000 (6% of initial Remaining Protected Balance) is added to the Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance on each Contract Anniversary up to the Contract Anniversary at the beginning of Contract Year 6. As a result, on the Contract Anniversary at the beginning of Contract Year 6, the Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance are equal to $130,000 and the Protected Payment Amount is equal to $6,500 (5% of $130,000).


 

No Income Access Credit will be added to the Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance on any Contract Anniversary after the Contract Anniversary at the beginning of Contract Year 6, as no reset in the Remaining Protected Balance was assumed.

In addition to the Initial Purchase Payment, the Contract Value is further subject to increases and/or decreases during each Contract Year as a result of additional amounts credited, charges, fees and other deductions, and increases and/or decreases in the investment performance of the Variable Account.

Example #2 – Subsequent Purchase Payment.

The values shown below are based on the following assumptions:

  Initial Purchase Payment = $100,000
  Rider Effective Date = Contract Date
  A subsequent Purchase Payment of $50,000 is received during Contract Year 2.
  No withdrawals taken.

    3               $156,834   $9,000   $165,000   $8,250   $165,000    

On the Rider Effective Date, the initial values are set as follows:

  Protected Payment Base = Initial Purchase Payment = $100,000
  Remaining Protected Balance = Initial Purchase Payment = $100,000
  Protected Payment Amount = 5% of Protected Payment Base = $5,000

Since no withdrawal occurred prior to the Contract Anniversary at the beginning of Contract Year 2, an Income Access Credit of $6,000 (6% of Initial Remaining Protected Balance) is added to the Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance on that Contract Anniversary, increasing both to $106,000. As a result, the Protected Payment Amount on that Contract Anniversary is equal to $5,300 (5% of the Protected Payment Base on that Contract Anniversary).

Immediately after the $50,000 subsequent Purchase Payment during Contract Year 2, the Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance are increased by the Purchase Payment amount to $156,000 ($106,000 + $50,000). The Protected Payment Amount after the Purchase Payment is equal to $7,800 (5% of the Protected Payment Base after the Purchase Payment since there are no withdrawals during that Contract Year).

Since no withdrawal occurred prior to the Contract Anniversary at the beginning of Contract Year 3, an Income Access Credit of $9,000 (6% of Initial Remaining Protected Balance plus 6% of the $50,000 subsequent Purchase Payment) is added to the Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance on that Contract Anniversary, increasing both to $165,000. As a result, the Protected Payment Amount on that Contract Anniversary is equal to $8,250 (5% of the Protected Payment Base on that Contract Anniversary).


 

Example #3 – Withdrawal Not Exceeding Protected Payment Amount.

The values shown below are based on the following assumptions:

  Initial Purchase Payment = $100,000
  Rider Effective Date = Contract Date
  No subsequent Purchase Payments are received.
  A withdrawal of $5,000 is taken during Contract Year 2.

    4             $104,046       $0     $106,000     $5,300     $101,000    

On the Rider Effective Date, the initial values are set as follows:

  Protected Payment Base = Initial Purchase Payment = $100,000
  Remaining Protected Balance = Initial Purchase Payment = $100,000
  Protected Payment Amount = 5% of Protected Payment Base = $5,000

Since no withdrawal occurred prior to the Contract Anniversary at the beginning of Contract Year 2, an Income Access Credit of $6,000 (6% of Initial Remaining Protected Balance) is added to the Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance on that Contract Anniversary, increasing both to $106,000. As a result, the Protected Payment Amount on that Contract Anniversary is equal to $5,300 (5% of the Protected Payment Base on that Contract Anniversary).

Because the $5,000 withdrawal during Contract Year 2 does not exceed the Protected Payment Amount ($5,300):

  (a) the Protected Payment Base remains unchanged;
  (b) the Remaining Protected Balance is reduced by the amount of the withdrawal to $101,000 ($106,000 – $5,000); and
  (c) the Protected Payment Amount is equal to $300 (5% of the Protected Payment Base after the withdrawal (5% of $106,000 = $5,300), less cumulative withdrawals during that Contract Year ($5,000)).

Since a withdrawal occurred during Contract Year 2, no Income Access Credit will be added to the Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance on any Contract Anniversary following the withdrawal.

Example #4 – Withdrawals Exceeding Protected Payment Amount.

The values shown below are based on the following assumptions:

  Initial Purchase Payment = $100,000
  Rider Effective Date = Contract Date
  No subsequent Purchase Payments are received.
  Two separate withdrawals of $5,000 and $3,000 are taken during Contract Year 2.

    4             $100,933       $0       $97,272       $4,864       $97,272      


 

On the Rider Effective Date, the initial values are set as follows:

  Protected Payment Base = Initial Purchase Payment = $100,000
  Remaining Protected Balance = Initial Purchase Payment = $100,000
  Protected Payment Amount = 5% of Protected Payment Base = $5,000

Since no withdrawal occurred prior to the Contract Anniversary at the beginning of Contract Year 2, an Income Access Credit of $6,000 (6% of Initial Remaining Protected Balance) is added to the Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance on that Contract Anniversary, increasing both to $106,000. As a result, the Protected Payment Amount on that Contract Anniversary is equal to $5,300 (5% of the Protected Payment Base on that Contract Anniversary).

Because the $5,000 withdrawal during Contract Year 2 does not exceed the Protected Payment Amount ($5,300):

  (a) the Protected Payment Base remains unchanged;
  (b) the Remaining Protected Balance is reduced by the amount of the withdrawal to $101,000 ($106,000 – $5,000); and
  (c) the Protected Payment Amount is equal to $300 (5% of the Protected Payment Base after the withdrawal (5% of $106,000 = $5,300), less cumulative withdrawals during that Contract Year ($5,000)).

Because the $3,000 withdrawal during Contract Year 2 exceeds the Protected Payment Amount immediately prior to the withdrawal ($3,000 > $300), the Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance immediately after the withdrawal are adjusted to the lesser of:

  (a) the Contract Value immediately after the withdrawal ($97,272); or
  (b) the Remaining Protected Balance immediately prior to the withdrawal, less the withdrawal amount ($101,000 – $3,000 = $98,000).

The Protected Payment Amount immediately after the withdrawal is equal to $0 (5% of the Protected Payment Base after the withdrawal (5% of $97,272 = $4,864), less cumulative withdrawals during that Contract Year ($8,000), but not less than zero).

Since a withdrawal occurred during Contract Year 2, no Income Access Credit will be added to the Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance on any Contract Anniversary following the withdrawal.

Example #5 – Reset in Remaining Protected Balance.

The values shown below are based on the following assumptions:

  Initial Purchase Payment = $100,000
  Rider Effective Date = Contract Date
  No subsequent Purchase Payments are received.
  No withdrawals taken.

On the Rider Effective Date, the initial values are set as follows:

  Protected Payment Base = Initial Purchase Payment = $100,000
  Remaining Protected Balance = Initial Purchase Payment = $100,000
  Protected Payment Amount = 5% of Protected Payment Base = $5,000

On the Contract Anniversary at the beginning of Contract Year 4, the Contract Value ($133,100) is greater than the Remaining Protected Balance ($118,000). With the reset in Remaining Protected Balance, the Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance are set equal to the Contract Value on that Contract Anniversary. As a result, the Protected Payment Amount is equal to $6,655 after the reset.

After the reset in Remaining Protected Balance, eligibility for any Income Access Credit will be based on the most recent Reset Date. That is, an Income Access Credit may be added to the Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance on up to five additional Contract Anniversaries if certain conditions are met.

The reset in Remaining Protected Balance may result in an increase in the annual Income Access Charge percentage.

The reset in Remaining Protected Balance may also result in a lower Protected Payment Base, Remaining Protected Balance, Protected Payment Amount and Income Access Credit.

HOW YOUR INVESTMENTS ARE ALLOCATED – Portfolio Optimization section is

replaced with the following:

Portfolio Optimization

The Service. Portfolio Optimization is an asset allocation service that we offer at no additional charge for use within this variable annuity. Asset allocation refers to the manner that investments are distributed among asset classes to help attain an investment goal. For your variable annuity, Portfolio Optimization can help with decisions about how you should allocate your Contract Value among available Investment Options. The


 

theory behind Portfolio Optimization is that diversification among asset classes can help reduce volatility over the long term.

As part of our Portfolio Optimization service, we have developed several asset allocation models (“Portfolio Optimization Models” or “Models”), each based on different profiles of an investor’s willingness to accept investment risk. If you decide to subscribe to the Portfolio Optimization service and select one of the Portfolio Optimization Models, your initial Purchase Payment (in the case of a new application) or Contract Value, as applicable, will be allocated to the Investment Options according to the Model you select. Subsequent Purchase Payments, if allowed under your Contract, will also be allocated accordingly, unless you instruct us otherwise in writing. If you choose, you can rebalance your Contract Value quarterly, semi-annually, or annually, to maintain the current allocations of your Portfolio Optimization Model, since changes in the net asset values of the underlying Portfolios in each Model will alter your asset allocation over time. If you also allocate part of your Purchase Payment or Contract Value that is not currently included in your Model and you elect periodic rebalancing, such amounts will not be considered when rebalancing. If you subscribe to Portfolio Optimization and elect periodic rebalancing, only the Investment Options within your Model will be rebalanced.

We serve as investment adviser for the Portfolio Optimization service in connection with the development of the Portfolio Optimization Models and periodic updates of the Models. On a periodic basis (typically annually), the Portfolio Optimization Models are evaluated and the Models are updated, as discussed below. If you subscribe to Portfolio Optimization, we will automatically reallocate your Contract Value or Purchase Payments, as applicable, in accordance with the Model you select as it is updated from time to time based on discretionary authority that you grant to us, unless you instruct us otherwise. For more information on our role as investment adviser for the Portfolio Optimization service, please contact Pacific Life to obtain a copy of our brochure from our Form ADV, the SEC investment adviser registration form. In developing and periodically updating the Portfolio Optimization Models, we currently retain an independent third-party analytical firm. We may change the firm that we use from time to time, or, to the extent permissible under applicable law, use no independent firm at all.

The Portfolio Optimization Models. We offer five asset allocation models, each comprised of a carefully selected combination of Investment Options (reflecting the underlying Portfolios of Pacific Select Fund). Development of the Portfolio Optimization models is a two-step process. First, an optimization analysis is performed to determine the breakdown of asset classes. Optimization analysis requires forecasting returns, standard deviations and correlation coefficients of asset classes over the desired investing horizon and an analysis using a state-of-the art program and a statistical analytical technique known as “mean-variance optimization.” Next, after the asset class exposures are known, a determination is made of how available Investment Options (underlying Portfolios) can be used to implement the asset class level allocations. The Investment Options are selected by evaluating the asset classes represented by the underlying Portfolios and combining Investment Options to arrive at the desired asset class exposures. The Portfolio-specific analysis uses historical returns-based style analysis and asset performance and regression and attribution analyses. It may also include portfolio manager interviews. Based on this analysis, Investment Options are selected in a way intended to optimize potential returns for each Model, given a particular level of risk tolerance. This process could, in some cases, result in the inclusion of an Investment Option in a Model based on its specific asset class exposure or other specific optimization factors, even where another Investment Option may have better historical performance.

Periodic Updates of the Portfolio Optimization Model and Notices of Updates. Each of the Portfolio Optimization Models are evaluated periodically (generally, annually) to assess whether the combination of Investment Options within each Model should be changed to better seek to optimize the potential return for the level of risk tolerance intended for the Model. As a result of the periodic analysis, each Model may change and Investment Options may be added to a Model (including Investment Options not currently available), or Investment Options may be deleted from a Model.


 

When your Portfolio Optimization Model is updated, we will automatically reallocate your Contract Value (and Subsequent Purchase Payments, if applicable) in accordance with any changes to the Model you have selected. This means the allocation of your Contract Value, and potentially the Investment Options in which you are invested, will automatically change and your Contract Value (and Subsequent Purchase Payments, if applicable) will be automatically reallocated among the Investment Options in your updated Model (independently of any automatic rebalancing you may have selected). We require that you grant us discretionary investment authority to periodically reallocate your Contract Value (and Subsequent Purchase Payments, if applicable) in accordance with the updated version of the Portfolio Optimization Model you have selected, if you wish to participate in Portfolio Optimization. If your Contract was purchased through Smith Barney, now known as Citigroup Global Markets Inc., or through Citicorp Investment Services (Citicorp), you must contact your registered representative if you want to move to a new Model after the annual analysis.

When we update the Portfolio Optimizations Models, we will send you written notice of the updated Models at least 30 days in advance of the date we intend the updated version of the Model to be effective. You should carefully review these notices. If you wish to accept the changes in your selected Model, you will not need to take any action, as your Contract Value (or Subsequent Purchase Payments, if applicable) will be reallocated in accordance with the updated Model automatically. If you do not wish to accept the changes to your selected Model, you can change to a different Model or withdraw from the Portfolio Optimization service. Some of the riders available under the Contract require you to participate in an asset allocation service. If you purchased any of these riders, such riders will terminate if you withdraw from Portfolio Optimization or allocate any portion of your subsequent Purchase Payments or Contract Value to an Investment Option that is not currently included in your Model (as more fully described in each rider).

Selecting a Portfolio Optimization Model. If you choose to subscribe to the Portfolio Optimization service, you need to determine which Portfolio Optimization Model is best for you. Pacific Life will not make this decision. You should consult with your registered representative on this decision. Your registered representative can help you determine which Model is best suited to your financial needs, investment time horizon, and willingness to accept investment risk. You should periodically review these factors with your registered representative to determine if you should change Models to keep up with changes in your personal circumstances. Your registered representative can assist you in completing the proper forms to subscribe to the Portfolio Optimization service or to change to a different Model. You may, in consultation with your registered representative, utilize analytical tools made available by Pacific Life, including an investor profile questionnaire, which asks questions intended to help you or your registered representative assess your financial needs, investment time horizon, and willingness to accept investment risk. Your responses can be analyzed using the service available on the Pacific Life website. While the information from the Pacific Life website may assist you, it is your decision, in consultation with your registered representative, to select a Model or to change to a different Model, and Pacific Life bears no responsibility for this decision. You may change to a different Model at any time with a proper written request or by telephone or electronic instructions provided a valid telephone/ electronic authorization is on file with us.

Quarterly Reports. If you select a Portfolio Optimization Model, you will be sent a quarterly performance report that provides information about the Investment Options within your selected Model, in addition to your usual quarterly statement. Information concerning the current Models is described below.

Risks. Although the Models are designed to optimize returns given the various levels of risk, there is no assurance that a Model portfolio will not lose money or that investment results will not experience volatility. Investment performance of your Contract Value could be better or worse by participating in a Portfolio Optimization Model than if you had not participated. A Model may perform better or worse than any single Investment Option or asset class or other combinations of Investment Options or asset classes. Model performance is dependent upon the performance of the component Investment Options (and their underlying Portfolios). The timing of your investment and the frequency of automatic rebalancing may affect


 

performance. Your Contract Value will fluctuate, and when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost.

A Portfolio Optimization Model may not perform as intended. Although the Models are designed to optimize returns given various levels of risk tolerance, portfolio, market and asset class performance may differ in the future from the historical performance and assumptions upon which the Models are based, which could cause the Models to be ineffective or less effective in reducing volatility.

Periodic updating of the Portfolio Optimization Models can cause the underlying Portfolios to incur transactional expenses to raise cash for money flowing out of the Portfolios or to buy securities with money flowing into the Portfolios. These expenses can adversely affect performance of the pertinent Portfolios and the Models.

Pacific Life may be subject to competing interests that have the potential to influence its decision making with regard to Portfolio Optimization. For example, one Portfolio may provide a higher advisory fee to Pacific Life than another Portfolio, and provide Pacific Life with incentive to use the Portfolio with the higher fee as part of a Portfolio Optimization Model. In addition, Pacific Life may believe that certain Portfolios may benefit from additional assets or could be harmed by redemptions. As adviser to Pacific Select Fund, we monitor performance of the Portfolios, and may, from time to time, recommend to the Fund’s Board of Trustees a change in portfolio management firm or strategy or the closure or merger of a Portfolio, all of which could impact a Model. All Fund Portfolios are analyzed. We do not dictate to the third party analytical firm the number of Portfolios in a Model, the percent that any Portfolio represents in a Model, or which Portfolios may be selected (other than to require exclusion of any Portfolio that is expected to be liquidated, merged into another Portfolio, or otherwise closed). We believe our use of an independent third-party analytical firm to develop and update the Models (as described above) reduces or eliminates the potential for us to be influenced by these competing interests, but there can be no assurance of this.

Pacific Life is under no contractual obligation to continue this service and has the right to terminate or change the Portfolio Optimization service at any time.


 

The Models. Below we present information on the Portfolio Optimization Models. You should review this information carefully before selecting or changing a Model.

                                       

Investor Profile

Model A   Model B   Model C   Model D   Model E

You are looking for a relatively stable investment and require investments that generate some level of income.   Your focus is on keeping pace with inflation. Income generating investment and capital appreciation are desired.   You want the opportunity for long- term moderate growth.   You want an investment that is geared for growth and are willing to accept above average risk.   You are an aggressive investor and can tolerate short-term market swings.

 Shorter Investment Horizon < -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Longer Investment Horizon

Investor Objective

Primarily preservation of capital   Moderate Growth   Steady growth in asset values   Moderately high growth in asset values   High growth in asset values

Risk Characteristics

There may be some losses in the values of the investment as asset values fluctuate.   There may be some losses in the values of the investment from year to year.   There will probably be some losses in the values of the underlying investments from year to year. Fluctuations in value should be less than those of the overall stock markets.   There will probably be some losses in the values of the underlying investments from year to year. Some of these might be large, but the overall fluctuations in asset values should be less than those of the U.S. stock market.   There will probably be some losses in the values of the underlying investments from year to year. Some of these might be large, but the overall fluctuations in asset values should be less than those of the U.S. stock market.

AN OVERVIEW OF PACIFIC VALUE is amended by adding the following:

Guaranteed Income Advantage Plus (GIA Plus) Rider

The optional GIA Plus Rider offers a minimum fixed income payout, plus the ability to lock in market gains and withdraw money each year. Subject to state availability, the optional GIA Plus Rider offers a guaranteed income annuity option when an asset allocation program established and maintained by us for the GIA Plus Rider is used. If you use our DCA Plus Program in conjunction with such an asset allocation program, you also will be considered to have met this requirement. You may buy the GIA Plus Rider on the Contract Date or on any Contract Anniversary. The GIA Plus Rider may not be available. Ask your registered representative about its current availability.

If you buy the GIA Plus Rider within sixty (60) days after the Contract Date or within thirty (30) days after a Contract Anniversary, we will make the Effective Date of the GIA Plus Rider coincide with that Contract Date or Contract Anniversary.

You should consult a qualified adviser for complete information and advice before purchasing the GIA Plus Rider.

There may be adverse consequences to taking a loan while this Rider is in effect. If you have an existing loan on your Contract, you should carefully consider whether the Rider is appropriate for you.

The GIA Plus Rider is called the Guaranteed Income Annuity (GIA) Rider in the Contract’s Rider.

Income Access Plus Rider

The optional Income Access Plus Rider lets you withdraw up to 5% of your investments per year, lock in market gains, and may provide a credit which increases your protected amount. Subject to state availability, the optional Income Access Plus Rider offers you during the accumulation period, the ability to withdraw up to 5% of a Protected Payment Base (usually Purchase Payments) and provides an Income Access Credit of 6% to your Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance for up to a five year period (provided you do not take any withdrawals during this period), when used with an asset allocation program established and maintained by us. If you use our DCA Plus program in conjunction with such an asset allocation program, you also will be considered to have met this requirement. You may buy this Rider on the Contract date or on any Contract Anniversary.

The Rider also provides for an additional option (the “Reset”) on any Contract Anniversary beginning with the third (3rd) anniversary of the Rider Effective Date or most recent Reset Date and may include an increase in the charges (up to a maximum of 1.20%) associated with the Rider. The Income Access Plus Rider may not be available. Ask your registered representative about its current availability (Protected Payment Base, Remaining Protected Balance, Income Access Credit, Reset, and Reset Date are described in the OTHER OPTIONAL RIDERS – INCOME ACCESS PLUS RIDER section in this supplement).

If you buy the Rider within sixty (60) days after the Contract Date or within thirty (30) days after a Contract Anniversary, we will make the Effective Date of the Rider coincide with that Contract Date or Contract Anniversary.

You should consult a qualified advisor for complete information and advice before purchasing the Income Access Plus Rider or electing the Reset provision available under the Rider.

There may be adverse consequences to taking a loan while this Rider is in effect. If you have an existing loan on your Contract, you should carefully consider whether the Rider is appropriate for you.

The Income Access Plus Rider is called the Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit Rider in the Contract’s Rider.


 

The Periodic Contract Expenses section is amended by adding the following:

         
  Guaranteed Income Advantage Plus (GIA Plus) Rider Charge   0.50% 13
  Income Access Plus Rider Charge   1.20% 14

The following Footnotes are added to the Periodic Expenses section:

13  If you buy the GIA Plus Rider (subject to state availability), we deduct this charge proportionately from your Investment Options on each Contract Anniversary and when you make a full withdrawal if the Rider is in effect on that date, or if the Rider is terminated. We will waive the annual charge if the Rider terminates as a result of death of an Owner or sole surviving Annuitant or upon full annuitization of your Contract.
 
14  If you buy the Income Access Plus Rider (subject to state availability), we deduct this charge proportionately from your Investment Options on each Contract Anniversary following the Effective Date of the Rider during the term of the Rider and while the Rider is in effect, or if the Rider is terminated. The 1.20% Charge is the maximum charge allowable under the terms and conditions of the Rider. Currently, the annual Charge for the Rider is 0.40%. Under the terms and conditions of the Rider, the annual Charge will remain the same while the Rider is in effect, unless you elect the optional Reset provision provided under the Rider. The Charge if you purchase the Rider will also be shown on the Rider in your Contract. We will waive the annual Charge if the Rider terminates as a result of death of an Owner or sole surviving Annuitant or upon full annuitization of your Contract.

The Examples section is replaced with the following:

The following examples are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in your Contract with the cost of investing in other variable annuity contracts. These costs include Contract transaction expenses, the maximum periodic Contract expenses (including the combination of optional Riders whose cumulative expenses totaled more than any other combination of optional Riders), Separate Account annual expenses, and maximum and minimum Portfolio fees and expenses for the year ended December 31, 2003, and to reflect fees that will be effective on February 1, 2005. Premium taxes and/or other taxes may also be applicable.

The examples assume that you invest $10,000 in the Contract for the time periods indicated. They also assume that your Investment has a 5% return each year and assumes the maximum and minimum fees and expenses of all of the Investment Options available. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your maximum and minimum costs would be:

  If you surrendered your Contract:

                 
1 Year 3 Years 5 Years 10 Years
Maximum*
  $1,464   $2,562   $3,621   $6,106
Minimum*
  $983   $1,165   $1,372   $2,005

  If you annuitized your Contract:

                 
1 Year 3 Years 5 Years 10 Years
Maximum*
  $1,464   $1,932   $3,171   $6,106
Minimum*
  $983   $535   $922   $2,005


 

  If you did not surrender or annuitize, but left the money in your Contract:

                 
1 Year 3 Years 5 Years 10 Years
Maximum*
  $654   $1,932   $3,171   $6,106
Minimum*
  $173   $535   $922   $2,005

  * In calculating the examples above, we used the maximum and minimum total operating expenses of all of the Portfolios as shown in the Fees And Expenses Paid By The Fund section of the Pacific Select Fund’s Prospectus and Fees and Expenses of Investing in the Portfolios section of the Prudential Series Fund’s Prospectus, adjusted to reflect fees that will be effective on February 1, 2005. For more information on fees and expenses, see CHARGES, FEES AND DEDUCTIONS in this Prospectus, the Pacific Select Fund’s Prospectus and the Prudential Series Fund’s Prospectus. See the FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS section in the Prospectus for condensed financial information about the subaccounts.

PURCHASING YOUR CONTRACT AND OPTIONAL RIDERS is amended by adding the following:

Purchasing the Guaranteed Income Advantage Plus (GIA Plus) Rider (Optional)

You may purchase the GIA Plus Rider (subject to state availability) on the Contract Date or on any Contract Anniversary.

You may purchase the GIA Plus Rider only if:

  the age of each Annuitant is eighty (80) years or younger on the date the Rider is purchased, and
  the entire Contract Value is invested according to an asset allocation program established and maintained by us for this Rider. If you use our DCA Plus program in conjunction with such an asset allocation program, you will be considered to have met this requirement.

Except as otherwise provided below, the GIA Plus Rider will remain in effect until the earlier of:

  the day any portion of the Contract Value is no longer invested according to an asset allocation program established and maintained by us for the Rider,
  the day we receive notification from you to terminate the Rider,
  the day of the first death of an Owner or the date of death of the sole surviving Annuitant,


 

  the date the Contract is terminated in accordance with the terms of the Contract, or
  the Annuity Date.

Upon your request, the GIA Plus Rider may be terminated at any time. If your request to terminate the GIA Plus Rider is received at our Service Center within thirty (30) days after a Contract Anniversary, the GIA Plus Rider will terminate on that Contract Anniversary. If your request to terminate the GIA Plus Rider is received at our Service Center more than thirty (30) days after a Contract Anniversary, the GIA Plus Rider will terminate the day we receive the request.

If the GIA Plus Rider is terminated, you must wait until a Contract Anniversary that is at least one (1) year from the Effective Date of the termination before the GIA Plus Rider may be purchased again (if available). In addition, you cannot switch from the GIA, GIA 5 or GIA II Riders to the GIA Plus Rider on the same Contract Anniversary. You must wait one (1) year from the Effective Date of termination of the GIA, GIA 5 or GIA II Riders before the GIA Plus Rider may be purchased.

Continuation of Rider if Surviving Spouse Continues Contract

If the Owner dies while this Rider is in effect and if the surviving spouse of the deceased Owner elects to continue the Contract in accordance with its terms, then the provisions of this Rider will continue, unless otherwise terminated.

Purchasing the Income Access Plus Rider (Optional)

Subject to state availability, you may purchase the optional Income Access Plus Rider on the Contract Date or on any Contract Anniversary if:

  the age of each Annuitant is eighty five (85) years or younger on the date of purchase, and
  your entire Contract Value is invested in an asset allocation program established and maintained by us for this Rider during the entire period that the Rider is in effect. If you use our DCA Plus program in conjunction with such an asset allocation program, you will be considered to have met this requirement.

You cannot request a termination of the Rider. Except as otherwise provided below, the Rider will automatically terminate on the earliest of:

  the day any portion of the Contract Value is no longer invested according to an asset allocation program established and maintained by us for this Rider,
  the day the Remaining Protected Balance is reduced to zero,
  the day of the first death of an Owner or the date of death of the sole surviving Annuitant, except as otherwise provided in the paragraph below,
  the day the Contract is terminated in accordance with the provisions of the Contract, except as otherwise provided in the paragraph below, or
  the Annuity Date.

The Contract and the Rider will not terminate on the first death of an Owner or death of the sole surviving Annuitant, or the day the Contract is terminated in accordance with the provisions of the Contract if, at the time of those events, the Contract Value is zero and we are making pre-authorized withdrawals of the Remaining Protected Balance under the provisions of the Rider. If we are making pre-authorized withdrawals, the Contract and the Rider will terminate on the Contract Anniversary immediately following the day the Remaining Protected Balance is zero.

If this Rider is terminated as a result of having any portion of the Contract Value no longer invested according to an asset allocation program established and maintained by us, you must wait until a Contract


 

Anniversary that is at least one (1) year from the Effective Date of termination before this Rider may be purchased again (if available). In addition, you cannot switch from the Income Access Rider to the Income Access Plus Rider on the same Contract Anniversary. You must wait until a Contract Anniversary that is at least one (1) year from the Effective Date of termination of the Income Access Rider before the Income Access Plus Rider may be purchased.

Continuation of Rider if Surviving Spouse Continues Contract

If the Owner dies while this Rider is in effect and if the surviving spouse of the deceased Owner elects to continue the Contract in accordance with its terms, then the provisions of this Rider will continue, unless otherwise terminated.

CHARGES, FEES AND DEDUCTIONS is amended by adding the following:

Guaranteed Income Advantage Plus (GIA Plus) Annual Charge (Optional Rider)

If you purchase the GIA Plus Rider (subject to state availability), we will deduct a GIA Annual Charge (“Charge”) for expenses related to the GIA Plus Rider. The annual Charge is equal to 0.50% multiplied by the greater of the Guaranteed Income Base or the Contract Value on the Contract Anniversary (Guaranteed Income Base is described in the OTHER OPTIONAL RIDERS – INCOME ACCESS PLUS RIDER section in this supplement). The Charge for a Contract Year will be deducted on the Contract Anniversary following that Contract Year.

We will deduct the Charge from your Investment Options on a proportionate basis:

  on each Contract Anniversary the GIA Plus Rider remains in effect, and
  if the GIA Plus Rider is terminated.

If the GIA Plus Rider is terminated on a Contract Anniversary, the full annual Charge will be deducted from the Contract Value. The full annual charge will be based on the greater of the Guaranteed Income Base or the Contract Value on that Contract Anniversary. If the GIA Plus Rider is terminated on a day other than a Contract Anniversary, we will prorate the annual Charge to the date of termination. The prorated Charge amount will be based on the greater of the Guaranteed Income Base or the Contract Value as of the day the Rider terminates. The prorated Charge will be deducted from the Contract Value on the earlier of the day the Contract terminates or the Contract Anniversary immediately following the day the GIA Plus Rider terminates. We will waive the annual charge if the GIA Plus Rider terminates as a result of death of an Owner or sole surviving Annuitant or upon full annuitization of your Contract.

Any portion of the Charge we deduct from any fixed option will not be greater than the annual interest credited in excess of 3%.

Income Access Plus Annual Charge (Optional Rider)

If you purchase the Income Access Plus Rider (subject to state availability), we will deduct, annually, an Income Access Plus Charge (“Charge”) from your Investment Options on a proportionate basis on each Contract Anniversary that the Rider remains in effect following the Effective Date of the Rider, and if you terminate the Rider. The annual Charge is equal to 0.40% multiplied by your Contract Value on the Contract Anniversary. The annual Charge for a Contract Year will be deducted on the Contract Anniversary following that Contract Year.

If the Rider terminates on a Contract Anniversary, the full annual Charge will be deducted from the Contract Value on that Contract Anniversary. If the Rider terminates on a day other than a Contract Anniversary the


 

Charge will be prorated to the date of termination. The prorated annual Charge will be deducted based on the Contract Value as of the day the Rider terminates. The prorated Charge will be deducted from the Contract Value on the earlier of the day the Contract terminates or the Contract Anniversary immediately following the day the Rider terminates. We will waive the annual Charge if the Rider terminates due to death of an Owner or sole surviving Annuitant or upon full annuitization of your Contract.

The annual Charge percentage may change if you elect the optional Reset provision in the Rider, but will never be more than the annual Charge percentage being charged for new issues of this same Rider and will not be more than a maximum annual Charge percentage of 1.20%. If you do not elect the optional Reset, your annual Charge percentage will remain the same as it was on the Effective Date of the Rider.

Any portion of the annual Charge we deduct from a fixed option will not be greater than the annual interest credited in excess of 3%.

The following sections

  Earnings Enhancement Guarantee (EEG) Annual Charge (Optional Rider)
  Guaranteed Protection Advantage 5 (GPA 5) Annual Charge (Optional Rider)
  Guaranteed Protection Advantage (GPA) Annual Charge (Optional Rider)
  Guaranteed Income Advantage II (GIA II) Annual Charge (Optional Rider)
  Guaranteed Income Advantage 5 (GIA 5) Annual Charge (Optional Rider)
  Guaranteed Income Advantage (GIA) Annual Charge (Optional Rider), and
  Income Access Annual Charge (Optional Rider)

are amended by adding:

If the effective date of termination of the Rider or Contract is on a day other than the Contract Anniversary, any Charge imposed for the Rider will be prorated to the effective date of termination.

RETIREMENT BENEFITS AND OTHER PAYOUTS – Choosing Your Annuity Date

is amended by adding the following:

In accordance with recent changes in laws and regulations, required minimum distributions may be calculated based on the sum of the contract value and the actuarial value of any additional death benefits and benefits from optional riders that you have purchased under the contract. As a result, the required minimum distributions may be larger than if the calculation were based on the contract value only, which may in turn result in an earlier (but not before the required beginning date) distribution under the Contract and an increased amount of taxable income distributed to the contract owner, and a reduction of death benefits and the benefits of any optional riders.

WITHDRAWALS – Optional Withdrawals is amended by replacing the first paragraph of the Amount Available for Withdrawal subsection with the following:

The amount available for withdrawal is your Net Contract Value at the end of the Business Day on which your withdrawal request is effective, less any applicable optional Rider Charges, withdrawal charge, withdrawal transaction fee, and any charge for premium taxes and/or other taxes. The amount we send to you (your “withdrawal proceeds”) will also reflect any required or requested federal and state income tax withholding. See the FEDERAL TAX STATUS and THE GENERAL ACCOUNT – Withdrawals and Transfers sections of this Prospectus.


 

OTHER OPTIONAL RIDERS is amended by adding the following:

GUARANTEED INCOME ADVANTAGE PLUS (GIA PLUS) RIDER

If you purchase the optional GIA Plus Rider (subject to state availability), you may, prior to the Annuity Date, choose any of the Annuity Options described in your Contract, or you may choose the GIA Plus Annuity Option provided this Rider has been in effect for at least ten (10) years from its Effective Date. If you choose the GIA Plus Annuity Option, you must choose fixed annuity payments and the entire amount available for annuitization at the time you convert to the GIA Plus Annuity Option must be annuitized. The guaranteed income purchased per $1,000 of the net amount applied to the annuity payments will be based on an effective annual interest rate of 2.0% and the 1996 US Annuity 2000 Mortality Table with the age set back eight (8) years.

Annuity Payments – The annuity payments that may be elected under the GIA Plus Annuity Option are:

  Life Only,
  Life with 10 years or more Period Certain,
  Joint and Survivor Life, or
  20 years or more Period Certain.

The Rider contains annuity tables for each GIA Plus Annuity Option available.

On the Annuity Date, the Net Amount applied to the annuity payments under the GIA Plus Annuity Option will be equal to the greater of the Guaranteed Income Base on that day or the GIA Plus Step-Up Value on that day, less the following:

  applicable withdrawal charges resulting from the conversion to the GIA Plus Annuity Option,
  applicable annual charges for expenses related to other optional benefit riders attached to the Contract that are in effect as of the Annuity Date, and
  charges for premium taxes and/or other taxes.

If you elect the GIA Plus Annuity Option, the waiver of withdrawal charges as described in the Contract will not apply. (See OTHER OPTIONAL RIDERS – Withdrawal Charges in this Supplement)

Initial Values – The Guaranteed Income Base, GIA Plus Withdrawal Base, GIA Plus Withdrawal Amount and GIA Plus Step-Up Value are values used in determining the Net Amount applied on the Annuity Date to provide payments under the GIA Plus Annuity Option.

The initial values are determined on the Rider Effective Date as follows:

  if this Rider is effective on the Contract Date, the Guaranteed Income Base and GIA Plus Withdrawal Base are equal to the initial Purchase Payment.
  if this Rider is effective on a Contract Anniversary, the Guaranteed Income Base and GIA Plus Withdrawal Base are equal to the Contract Value on that day.
  the GIA Plus Withdrawal Amount for the Contract Year beginning on the Rider Effective Date is equal to 5% of the GIA Plus Withdrawal Base.
  the GIA Plus Step-Up Value is equal to the Contract Value on the Rider Effective Date.

The GIA Plus Withdrawal Base and GIA Plus Withdrawal Amount after the Rider Effective Date are recalculated only on each subsequent Contract Anniversary.


 

Subsequent Values – The Guaranteed Income Base, GIA Plus Withdrawal Base, GIA Plus Withdrawal Amount and GIA Plus Step-Up Value after the Rider Effective Date are determined as follows:

Guaranteed Income Base – On any day after the Rider Effective Date, the Guaranteed Income Base is equal to:

  the Guaranteed Income Base on the prior day, multiplied by a daily factor of 1.000133680 which is equivalent to increasing the Guaranteed Income Base at an annual growth rate of 5%, plus
  Purchase Payments received by us on that day, less
  adjustments for withdrawals made on that day.

The adjustment for each withdrawal is calculated by multiplying the Guaranteed Income Base immediately prior to the withdrawal by the percentage decrease in Contract Value as a result of the withdrawal.

However, on each Contract Anniversary after the Rider Effective Date, if there is at least one withdrawal during the prior Contract Year and the cumulative withdrawals for that Contract Year do not exceed the sum of:

  the GIA Plus Withdrawal Amount for that Contract Year, and
  any remaining dollar amount of the prior Contract Year’s GIA Plus Withdrawal Amount,

the Guaranteed Income Base as of that Contract Anniversary will be reset to equal:

  the Guaranteed Income Base on the Rider Effective Date or prior Contract Anniversary, whichever is later, increased at an annual growth rate of 5%, plus
  the amount of any subsequent Purchase Payments received by us during the prior Contract Year, each increased at an annual growth rate of 5% from the effective date of that Purchase Payment, less
  the amount of cumulative withdrawals during the prior Contract Year.

The 5% annual growth rate will stop accruing as of the earlier of:

  the Contract Anniversary prior to the youngest Annuitant’s 81st birthday, or
  the day this Rider terminates.

GIA Plus Withdrawal Base – On each Contract Anniversary after the Rider Effective Date, the GIA Plus Withdrawal Base is equal to:

  the GIA Plus Withdrawal Base determined on the Rider Effective Date, plus
  the amount of any subsequent Purchase Payments received by us after the Rider Effective Date, up through the day immediately prior to that Contract Anniversary.

GIA Plus Withdrawal Amount – On each Contract Anniversary after the Rider Effective Date, the GIA Plus Withdrawal Amount for the Contract Year beginning on that Contract Anniversary is equal to 5% of the GIA Plus Withdrawal Base as of that Contract Anniversary.

GIA Plus Step-Up Value – On any day after the Rider Effective Date, the GIA Plus Step-Up Value is equal to:

  the GIA Plus Step-Up Value as of the prior day, plus
  Purchase Payments received by us on that day, less
  adjustment for withdrawals made on that day.

The adjustment for each withdrawal is calculated by multiplying the GIA Plus Step-Up Value immediately prior to the withdrawal by the percentage decrease in Contract Value as a result of that withdrawal.


 

On any Contract Anniversary after the Rider Effective Date and prior to the youngest Annuitant’s 81st birthday, the GIA Plus Step-Up Value is set equal to the greater of:

  the Contract Value as of that Contract Anniversary, or
  the GIA Plus Step-Up Value immediately prior to that Contract Anniversary.

The GIA Plus Step-Up Value will then be adjusted for any Purchase Payments or withdrawals on that Contract Anniversary in accordance with the first paragraph of this subsection.

The GIA Plus Step-Up Value on each Contract Anniversary on and after the youngest Annuitant’s 81st birthday is equal to the GIA Plus Step-Up Value immediately prior to that Contract Anniversary.

Partial Conversion of Net Contract Value for Annuity Payments – If a portion of the Net Contract Value (Contract Value less Contract Debt) is converted to provide payments under an Annuity Option described in the Contract at any time before you annuitize under the GIA Plus Annuity Option, the amount converted will be considered a “Withdrawal” for purposes of determining withdrawal adjustments to the Guaranteed Income Base and GIA Plus Step-Up Value. A withdrawal charge may also apply.

Limitation on Subsequent Purchase Payments – For purposes of this Rider, we reserve the right to restrict additional Purchase Payments that result in a total of all Purchase Payments received on or after the first (1st) Contract Anniversary to exceed $100,000 without our prior approval. This provision only applies if the Contract to which this Rider is attached, permits Purchase Payments after the first (1st) Contract Anniversary, measured from the Contract Date.

Sample Calculations – Hypothetical sample calculations are in the attached APPENDIX B: GUARANTEED INCOME ADVANTAGE PLUS RIDER SAMPLE CALCULATIONS to the Prospectus. The examples provided are based on certain hypothetical assumptions and are for example purposes only. They are not intended to serve as projections of future investment returns.

INCOME ACCESS PLUS RIDER

If you purchase the Income Access Plus Rider (subject to state availability), on any day this Rider allows for withdrawals up to the Protected Payment Amount, regardless of market performance, until the Remaining Protected Balance is reduced to zero (0). This Rider also provides for an amount (an “Income Access Credit”) to be added to the Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance.

In addition, on any Contract Anniversary beginning with the third (3rd) Contract Anniversary after the Rider Effective Date or the most recent Reset Date, whichever is later, you may elect to reset the Remaining Protected Balance to an amount equal to 100% of the Contract Value on that Contract Anniversary.

For purposes of this Rider, the term “withdrawal” includes any applicable withdrawal charges and charges for premium taxes and/or other taxes, if applicable. Amounts withdrawn under this Rider will reduce the Contract Value by the amount withdrawn and will be subject to the same conditions, limitations, restrictions and all other fees, charges and deductions, if applicable, as withdrawals otherwise made under the provisions of the Contract.

Protected Payment Amount – The maximum amount that can be withdrawn each Contract Year under this Rider without reducing the Protected Payment Base. The Protected Payment Amount on any day after the Rider Effective Date is equal to the lesser of:

  5% of the Protected Payment Base as of that day, less cumulative withdrawals during that Contract Year, or
  the Remaining Protected Balance as of that day.


 

Protected Payment Base – An amount used to determine the Protected Payment Amount. The Protected Payment Base will remain unchanged except as otherwise described under the provisions of this Rider.

Remaining Protected Balance – The amount available for future withdrawals made under this Rider.

Income Access Credit – An amount added to the Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance.

Reset Date – Any Contract Anniversary beginning with the third (3rd) Contract Anniversary after the Rider Effective Date or the most recent Reset Date, whichever is later, on which you elect to Reset the remaining Protected Balance to an amount equal to 100% of the Contract Value, determined as of that Contract Anniversary.

Initial Values – The initial Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance amounts are equal to:

  Initial Purchase Payment, if the Rider Effective Date is on the Contract Date, or
  Contract Value, if the Rider Effective Date is on a Contract Anniversary.

The initial Protected Payment Amount on the Rider Effective Date is equal to 5% of the initial Protected Payment Base.

Subsequent Purchase Payments – If we receive additional Purchase Payments after the Rider Effective Date, we will increase the Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance by the amount of the Purchase Payments. However, for purposes of this Rider, we reserve the right to restrict additional Purchase Payments that result in a total of all Purchase Payments received on or after the later of the first (1st) Contract Anniversary or most recent Reset Date to exceed $100,000 without our prior approval. This provision only applies if the Contract to which this Rider is attached, permits Purchase Payments after the first (1st) Contract Anniversary, measured from the Contract Date.

Income Access Credit – On each Contract Anniversary after the Rider Effective Date, an Income Access Credit will be added to the Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance, as of that Contract Anniversary, if:

  no withdrawals have occurred after the Rider Effective Date or the most recent Reset Date, whichever is later, and
  that Contract Anniversary is prior to the sixth (6th) Contract Anniversary, measured from the Rider Effective Date or the most recent Reset Date, whichever is later.

The Income Access Credit is equal to 6% of the total of:

  the Remaining Protected Balance on the Rider Effective Date or the most recent Reset Date, whichever is later, and
  the cumulative Purchase Payments received after the Rider Effective Date or most recent Reset Date, whichever is later,

as of the Contract Anniversary on which the Income Access Credit is added.

Once a withdrawal has occurred, no Income Access Credit will be added to the Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance on any Contract Anniversary following the withdrawal, unless you elect to reset the Remaining Protected Balance.

Income Access Credits will not increase your cost basis and when distributed, may be recognizable as taxable ordinary income.

Withdrawal of Protected Payment Amount – While this Rider is in effect, you may withdraw up to the Protected Payment Amount without reducing the Protected Payment Base, regardless of market performance, until the Remaining Protected Balance equals zero.


 

If a withdrawal does not exceed the Protected Payment Amount immediately prior to that withdrawal, the Protected Payment Base will remain unchanged. The Remaining Protected Balance will decrease by the withdrawal amount immediately following the withdrawal.

If a withdrawal exceeds the Protected Payment Amount immediately prior to that withdrawal, we will adjust the Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance immediately following the withdrawal, to the lesser of:

  the Contract Value immediately after the withdrawal, or
  the Remaining Protected Balance immediately prior to the withdrawal, less the withdrawal amount.

A withdrawal may not exceed the amount available for withdrawal under the Contract if such withdrawal would exceed the Protected Payment Amount.

If a withdrawal does not exceed the Protected Payment Amount and reduces the Contract Value to zero, the following will apply:

  5% of the Protected Payment Base will be paid each year until the Remaining Protected Balance is reduced to zero. The payments will be made under a series of pre-authorized withdrawals under a payment frequency, as elected by you, but no less frequently than annually,
  no additional Purchase Payments will be accepted under the Contract,
  any Remaining Protected Balance will not be available for payment in a lump sum and may not be applied to provide payments under an Annuity Option, and
  the Contract will cease to provide any death benefit.

If the Owner or sole surviving Annuitant dies and the Contract Value is zero as of the date of death, any Remaining Protected Balance will be paid to the Beneficiary under the series of pre-authorized withdrawals and payment frequency then in effect at the time of the Owner’s or sole surviving Annuitant’s death.

Election to Reset Remaining Protected Balance – You may, on any Contract Anniversary beginning with the third (3rd) Contract Anniversary, measured from the Rider Effective Date or the most recent Reset Date, whichever is later, elect to reset the Remaining Protected Balance to an amount equal to 100% of the Contract Value as of that Contract Anniversary.

The annual Charge percentage may change if you elect to reset the Remaining Protected Balance. However, the annual Charge percentage will never exceed the annual Charge percentage then in effect for new issues of this same Rider. If we are no longer issuing this Rider, any change in the annual Charge percentage will not result in an annual Charge percentage that exceeds the maximum annual Charge percentage. (See CHARGES, FEES and DEDUCTIONS – Income Access Plus Rider.)

On each Reset Date and after any Income Access Credit is applied, we will set the Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance to an amount equal to 100% of the Contract Value as of the Reset Date.

The election to reset the Remaining Protected Balance must be received, in a form satisfactory to us, at our Service Center within thirty (30) days after the Contract Anniversary on which the reset is effective. Your election to reset the Remaining Protected Balance may result in a reduction in the Protected Payment Base, Remaining Protected Balance, Protected Payment Amount and Income Access Credit. We will provide you with written confirmation of your election.

On and after each Reset Date, the provisions of this Rider shall apply in the same manner as they applied when the Rider was originally issued. Eligibility for any Income Access Credits, the limitations and restrictions on Purchase Payments and withdrawals, the deduction of annual Charges and any future reset options available on and after the Reset Date, will again apply and will be measured from that Reset Date.


 

Sample Calculations – Hypothetical sample calculations are in the attached APPENDIX C: INCOME ACCESS PLUS RIDER SAMPLE CALCULATIONS to the Prospectus. The examples provided are based on certain hypothetical assumptions and are for example purposes only. The examples are not intended to serve as projections of future investment returns.

This section is amended by adding the following:

Withdrawal Charges

No sales charge is imposed on any Purchase Payment. Your Purchase Payments may, however, be subject to a withdrawal charge. This charge may apply to amounts you withdraw under your Contract prior to the Annuity Date, depending on the length of time each Purchase Payment has been invested and on the amount you withdraw. No withdrawal charge is imposed on:

  •  death benefit proceeds, except as provided under the Amount of the Death Benefit: Death of a Contract Owner Section for certain Non-Natural Owners.
 
  •  amounts converted after the first Contract Anniversary to a life contingent Annuity Option or an Annuity Option with a period certain of at least seven years that is offered under the Contract,
 
  •  withdrawals by Owners to meet the minimum distribution rules for Qualified Contracts as they apply to amounts held under the Contract, or
 
  •  subject to state variation and medical evidence satisfactory to us, after the first Contract Anniversary, full or partial withdrawals if the Annuitant has been diagnosed with a medically determinable condition that results in a life expectancy of twelve (12) months or less.

Free Withdrawals

Subject to the amount available for withdrawal provisions as described in the withdrawal section, during a Contract Year you may withdraw free of withdrawal charge amounts up to your “eligible Purchase Payments”. Qualified plans have special restrictions on withdrawals. See Special Restrictions Under Qualified Plans on page 43. Eligible Purchase Payments include 10% of all Purchase Payments that have an “age” of less than eight years, plus 100% of all Purchase Payments that have an “age” of eight years or more. Once all Purchase Payments have been deemed withdrawn, any withdrawal will be deemed a withdrawal of your earnings, which includes Contract Value attributable to any Credit Enhancement, and will be free of the withdrawal charge. For purposes of determining the free withdrawal amounts, withdrawal of mandatory required minimums from certain Qualified Plans are included within the calculations. For those Contracts issued to a Charitable Remainder Trust (CRT), the amount available for withdrawal free of withdrawal charges during a Contract Year includes all eligible Purchase Payments plus all earnings even if all Purchase Payments have not been deemed withdrawn.

      Example: You make an initial Purchase Payment of $10,000 in Contract Year 1, and make additional Purchase Payments of $1,000 and $6,000 in Contract Year 2. With Earnings (Credit Enhancements included), your Contract Value in Contract Year 3 is $19,000. In Contract Year 3, you may withdraw $1,700 free of the withdrawal charge (your total Purchase Payments were $17,000, so 10% of that equals $1,700). After this withdrawal, your Contract Value is $17,300. In Contract Year 4, you may withdraw another $1,700 (10% of the total Purchase Payments of $17,000) free of any withdrawal charge.

How the Charge is Determined

The amount of the charge depends on how long each Purchase Payment was held under your Contract. Each Purchase Payment you make is considered to have a certain “age,” depending on the length of time since that payment was effective. A Purchase Payment is “one year old” or has an “age of one” from the day it is effective until the beginning of the day preceding your next Contract Anniversary; beginning on the day


 

preceding that Contract Anniversary, your Purchase Payment will have an “age of two,” and increases in age on the day preceding each Contract Anniversary. When you withdraw an amount subject to the withdrawal charge, the “age” of the Purchase Payment you withdraw determines the level of withdrawal charge as follows:
         
Withdrawal
Charge as a
percentage
of the
“Age” of Purchase Payment Purchase Payment
in Years withdrawn


1
    9 %
2
    9 %
3
    7 %
4
    7 %
5
    5 %
6
    5 %
7
    4 %
8 or more
    0 %

For Contracts issued before May 1, 2004 or, if later, before the date of state availability of the above withdrawal charge table, the withdrawal charge as a percentage of the Purchase Payment withdrawn in years 1 and 2 is 7%. Ask your registered representative what rates apply in your state.

We calculate your withdrawal charge by assuming your withdrawal is applied to Purchase Payments first and in the order your Purchase Payments were received. The withdrawal charge will be deducted proportionally among all Investment Options from which your withdrawal occurs. If you do not specify Investment Options, your withdrawal will be made from all your Investment Options proportionately. We calculate withdrawal charges before any deductions for other charges due or taxes are made. The seven year withdrawal charge period is longer than such period for other variable annuity contracts we offer.

The withdrawal charge is designed to reimburse us for sales commissions and other expenses associated with the promotion and solicitation of offers for the Contracts, although we expect that our actual expenses will be greater than the amount of the withdrawal charge.

FEDERAL TAX STATUS – Loans is amended as follows:

The third paragraph in the Loan Terms subsection is replaced with the following:

If you purchase the GPA, GPA5, GIA5, GIA Plus, Income Access, or the Income Access Plus Riders, there may be adverse consequences to taking a loan while these Riders are in effect. If you have an existing loan on your Contract, you should carefully consider whether these Riders are appropriate for you.

APPENDIX B: GUARANTEED INCOME ADVANTAGE PLUS RIDER SAMPLE CALCULATIONS is added:

GUARANTEED INCOME ADVANTAGE PLUS RIDER

SAMPLE CALCULATIONS

The numeric examples shown in this section are based on certain assumptions. They have been provided to assist in understanding the benefits provided by the Guaranteed Income Advantage Plus (“GIA Plus”) Rider, and to demonstrate how Purchase Payments received and withdrawals made from the Contract prior to the Annuity Date affect the values and benefits under this Rider over an extended period of time. These examples are not intended to serve as projections of future investment returns.


 

Example #1 – The initial values on the Rider Effective Date based on an Initial Purchase Payment of $100,000. The Initial Purchase Payment is assumed to be the Contract Value if the Rider Effective Date is on a Contract Anniversary.

Example #2 – Subsequent Purchase Payment received during the first Contract Year and its effect on the values and balances under this Rider. This example assumes that no withdrawals have been made.

(TABLE)

In addition to Purchase Payments, the Contract Value is further subject to increases and/or decreases during a Contract Year as a result of additional amounts credited, charges, fees and other deductions, and increases and/or decreases in the investment performance of the Variable Account.

The Guaranteed Income Base prior to receipt of the Purchase Payment is assumed to have accumulated to $101,227. This amount is derived by multiplying each day’s Guaranteed Income Base by the daily factor of 1.000133680. As a result of the subsequent Purchase Payment, the Guaranteed Income Base is increased to $201,227 ($101,227 + $100,000). The Guaranteed Income Base will assume to accumulate to $208,727 at the next Contract Anniversary, by multiplying each day’s Guaranteed Income Base immediately after receipt of the subsequent Purchase Payment by the daily factor of 1.000133680.

The GIA Plus Step-Up Value prior to receipt of the Purchase Payment is $100,000. As a result of the subsequent Purchase Payment, the GIA Plus Step-Up Value is increased to $200,000 ($100,000 + $100,000). On the Contract Anniversary at the beginning of Contract Year 2, the Contract Value ($205,242) is greater than the GIA Plus Step-Up Value immediately prior to that Contract Anniversary ($200,000). As a result, the GIA Plus Step-Up Value as of that Contract Anniversary is equal to the Contract Value on that Contract Anniversary ($205,242).

The GIA Plus Withdrawal Base on the Contract Anniversary at the beginning of Contract Year 2 is equal to the GIA Plus Withdrawal Base on the Rider Effective Date ($100,000) plus cumulative Purchase Payments received after the Rider Effective Date ($100,000). As a result of the subsequent Purchase Payment, the GIA Plus Withdrawal Base on the Contract Anniversary at the beginning of Contract Year 2 is equal to $200,000 ($100,000 + $100,000).

The GIA Plus Withdrawal Amount for Contract Year 2 is determined on the Contract Anniversary at the beginning of Contract Year 2, and is equal to 5% of the GIA Plus Withdrawal Base on that Contract Anniversary (5% of $200,000). As a result of the subsequent Purchase Payment, the GIA Plus Withdrawal Amount for Contract Year 2 is equal to $10,000.

Since no withdrawals were made during Contract Year 1, the GIA Plus Withdrawal Amount for Contract Year 1 ($5,000) becomes the remaining dollar amount of the prior Contract Year’s GIA Plus Withdrawal Amount for Contract Year 2.


 

Example #3 – Cumulative withdrawals during Contract Year 2 exceeding the sum of: (a) the GIA Plus Withdrawal Amount for Contract Year 2; and (b) the remaining dollar amount of the prior Contract Year’s GIA Plus Withdrawal Amount for Contract Year 2. The withdrawal is assumed to result in a 10% reduction in the Contract Value.

(TABLE)

Since the $20,830 withdrawal exceeded the sum of: (a) the GIA Plus Withdrawal Amount for Contract Year 2; and (b) the remaining dollar amount of the prior Contract’s Year’s GIA Plus Withdrawal Amount for Contract Year 2, the remaining dollar amount of the prior Contract Year’s GIA Plus Withdrawal Amount for Contract Year 3 is zero. Withdrawals are first applied to the remaining dollar amount of the prior Contract Year’s GIA Plus Withdrawal Amount, if any, until exhausted, then to the GIA Plus Withdrawal Amount for the current Contract Year, until exhausted.

The GIA Plus Withdrawal Amount for Contract Year 3 is determined on the Contract Anniversary at the beginning of Contract Year 3, and is equal to 5% of the GIA Plus Withdrawal Base on that Contract Anniversary (5% of $200,000). As a result, the GIA Plus Withdrawal Amount for Contract Year 3 is equal to $10,000. The GIA Plus Withdrawal Amount for any Contract Year will not be less than zero.

Immediately after the withdrawal, the Guaranteed Income Base and the GIA Plus Step-Up Value are reduced by the percentage decrease (10%) in Contract Value as a result of the withdrawal.

Since no subsequent Purchase Payments were received during Contract Year 2, the GIA Plus Withdrawal Base at the beginning of Contract Year 3 remains unchanged.


 

Example #4 – Cumulative withdrawals during Contract Year 3 not exceeding the sum of: (a) the GIA Plus Withdrawal Amount for Contract Year 3; and (b) the remaining dollar value of the prior Contract Year’s GIA Plus Withdrawal Amount for Contract Year 3.

(TABLE)

Because cumulative withdrawals for Contract Year 3 did not exceed the sum of: (a) the GIA Plus Withdrawal Amount for Contract Year 3; and (b) the remaining dollar amount of the prior Contract Year’s GIA Plus Withdrawal Amount for Contract Year 3, the Guaranteed Income Base on the Contract Anniversary at the beginning of Contract Year 4 is calculated as follows:

     
Guaranteed Income Base on the Contract Anniversary at the beginning of Contract Year 3:
  $197,247
Increased at an annual rate of 5% to the Contract Anniversary at the beginning of Contract Year 4:
  + $9,862
Reduced by the amount equal to the amount withdrawn in Contract Year 3:
  - $8,000
   
Guaranteed Income Base on the Contract Anniversary at the beginning of Contract Year 4:
  $199,109

Since no subsequent Purchase Payments were received during Contract Year 3, the GIA Plus Withdrawal Base at the beginning of Contract Year 4 remains unchanged.

The GIA Plus Withdrawal Amount for Contract Year 4 is determined on the Contract Anniversary at the beginning of Contract Year 4, and is equal to 5% of the GIA Plus Withdrawal Base on that Contract Anniversary (5% of $200,000). As a result, the GIA Plus Withdrawal Amount for Contract Year 4 is equal to $10,000.

Because cumulative withdrawals for Contract Year 3 did not exceed the sum of: (a) the GIA Plus Withdrawal Amount for Contract Year 3; and (b) the remaining dollar value of the prior Contract Year’s GIA Plus Withdrawal Amount for Contract Year 3; the dollar amount of the GIA Plus Withdrawal Amount for Contact Year 3 remaining ($2,000) becomes the remaining dollar amount of the prior Contract Year’s GIA Plus Withdrawal Amount for Contract Year 4.


 

Example #5 – Rider values on each Contract Anniversary based on an Initial Purchase Payment of $100,000 paid on the Contract Date. The values further assume that no subsequent Purchase Payments are received and no withdrawals are taken during the first ten (10) Contract Years after the Rider Effective Date. The Initial Purchase Payment is assumed to be the Contract Value if the Rider is effective on a Contract Anniversary.

Should the Contract annuitize immediately after the Rider has been in effect for at least ten (10) years and the GIA Plus Annuity Option has been elected to provide such payments, the net amount applied on the Annuity Date as a single premium to provide the payments is equal to the greater of:

  (a) the Guaranteed Income Base; or
  (b) the GIA Plus Step-Up Value; less any:
  (c) applicable withdrawal charges resulting from the conversion to the GIA Plus Annuity Option;
  (d) applicable annual charges for expenses related to other optional benefit riders attached to the Contract that are in effect as of the Annuity Date; and
  (e) charges for premium taxes and/or other taxes.

Under Example #5, the net amount applied on the Annuity Date (the Contract Anniversary at the beginning of Contract Year 11) is equal to the Guaranteed Income Base ($162,889), as it is greater than the GIA Plus Step-Up Value ($115,927) as of the Annuity Date, less the amounts in (c), (d) and (e)above, if any.

Under Example #6, the net amount applied on the Annuity Date (the Contract Anniversary at the beginning of Contract Year 11) is equal to the Guaranteed Income Base ($100,000), as it is greater than the GIA Plus Step-Up Value ($61,983) as of the Annuity Date, less the amounts in (c), (d) and (e) above, if any.


 

APPENDIX C: INCOME ACCESS PLUS RIDER SAMPLE CALCULATIONS is added:

INCOME ACCESS PLUS RIDER

SAMPLE CALCULATIONS

The numeric examples shown in this section are based on certain assumptions. They have been provided to assist in understanding the benefits provided by this Rider and to demonstrate how Purchase Payments received and withdrawals made from the Contract prior to the Annuity Date affect the values and benefits under this Rider over an extended period of time. These examples are not intended to serve as projections of future investment returns.

Example #1 – Income Access Credit; No Subsequent Purchase Payments; No Withdrawals; No Reset in Remaining Protected Balance.

The values shown below are based on the following assumptions:

  Initial Purchase Payment = $100,000
  Rider Effective Date = Contract Date
  No subsequent Purchase Payments are received.
  No withdrawals taken.
  No reset of the Remaining Protected Balance

    10           $130,477     $0     $130,000   $6,500   $130,000    
    11           $134,392     $0     $130,000   $6,500   $130,000    

On the Rider Effective Date, the initial values are set as follows:

  Protected Payment Base = Initial Purchase Payment = $100,000
  Remaining Protected Balance = Initial Purchase Payment = $100,000
  Protected Payment Amount = 5% of Protected Payment Base = $5,000

Since no withdrawal occurred prior to the Contract Anniversary at the beginning of Contract Year 6, an Income Access Credit of $6,000 (6% of initial Remaining Protected Balance) is added to the Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance on each Contract Anniversary up to the Contract Anniversary at the beginning of Contract Year 6. As a result, on the Contract Anniversary at the beginning of Contract Year 6, the Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance are equal to $130,000 and the Protected Payment Amount is equal to $6,500 (5% of $130,000).

No Income Access Credit will be added to the Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance on any Contract Anniversary after the Contract Anniversary at the beginning of Contract Year 6, as no reset in the Remaining Protected Balance was assumed.

In addition to the Initial Purchase Payment, the Contract Value is further subject to increases and/or decreases during each Contract Year as a result of additional amounts credited, charges, fees and other deductions, and increases and/or decreases in the investment performance of the Variable Account.


 

Example #2 – Subsequent Purchase Payment.

The values shown below are based on the following assumptions:

  Initial Purchase Payment = $100,000
  Rider Effective Date = Contract Date
  A subsequent Purchase Payment of $50,000 is received during Contract Year 2.
  No withdrawals taken.

    3               $156,834   $9,000   $165,000   $8,250   $165,000    

On the Rider Effective Date, the initial values are set as follows:

  Protected Payment Base = Initial Purchase Payment = $100,000
  Remaining Protected Balance = Initial Purchase Payment = $100,000
  Protected Payment Amount = 5% of Protected Payment Base = $5,000

Since no withdrawal occurred prior to the Contract Anniversary at the beginning of Contract Year 2, an Income Access Credit of $6,000 (6% of Initial Remaining Protected Balance) is added to the Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance on that Contract Anniversary, increasing both to $106,000. As a result, the Protected Payment Amount on that Contract Anniversary is equal to $5,300 (5% of the Protected Payment Base on that Contract Anniversary).

Immediately after the $50,000 subsequent Purchase Payment during Contract Year 2, the Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance are increased by the Purchase Payment amount to $156,000 ($106,000 + $50,000). The Protected Payment Amount after the Purchase Payment is equal to $7,800 (5% of the Protected Payment Base after the Purchase Payment since there are no withdrawals during that Contract Year).

Since no withdrawal occurred prior to the Contract Anniversary at the beginning of Contract Year 3, an Income Access Credit of $9,000 (6% of Initial Remaining Protected Balance plus 6% of the $50,000 subsequent Purchase Payment) is added to the Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance on that Contract Anniversary, increasing both to $165,000. As a result, the Protected Payment Amount on that Contract Anniversary is equal to $8,250 (5% of the Protected Payment Base on that Contract Anniversary).

Example #3 – Withdrawal Not Exceeding Protected Payment Amount.

The values shown below are based on the following assumptions:

  Initial Purchase Payment = $100,000
  Rider Effective Date = Contract Date
  No subsequent Purchase Payments are received.
  A withdrawal of $5,000 is taken during Contract Year 2.

    4             $104,046       $0     $106,000     $5,300     $101,000    

On the Rider Effective Date, the initial values are set as follows:

  Protected Payment Base = Initial Purchase Payment = $100,000
  Remaining Protected Balance = Initial Purchase Payment = $100,000
  Protected Payment Amount = 5% of Protected Payment Base = $5,000


 

Since no withdrawal occurred prior to the Contract Anniversary at the beginning of Contract Year 2, an Income Access Credit of $6,000 (6% of Initial Remaining Protected Balance) is added to the Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance on that Contract Anniversary, increasing both to $106,000. As a result, the Protected Payment Amount on that Contract Anniversary is equal to $5,300 (5% of the Protected Payment Base on that Contract Anniversary).

Because the $5,000 withdrawal during Contract Year 2 does not exceed the Protected Payment Amount ($5,300):

  (a) the Protected Payment Base remains unchanged;
  (b) the Remaining Protected Balance is reduced by the amount of the withdrawal to $101,000 ($106,000 – $5,000); and
  (c) the Protected Payment Amount is equal to $300 (5% of the Protected Payment Base after the withdrawal (5% of $106,000 = $5,300), less cumulative withdrawals during that Contract Year ($5,000)).

Since a withdrawal occurred during Contract Year 2, no Income Access Credit will be added to the Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance on any Contract Anniversary following the withdrawal.

Example #4 – Withdrawals Exceeding Protected Payment Amount.

The values shown below are based on the following assumptions:

  Initial Purchase Payment = $100,000
  Rider Effective Date = Contract Date
  No subsequent Purchase Payments are received.
  Two separate withdrawals of $5,000 and $3,000 are taken during Contract Year 2.

    4             $100,933       $0       $97,272       $4,864       $97,272      

On the Rider Effective Date, the initial values are set as follows:

  Protected Payment Base = Initial Purchase Payment = $100,000
  Remaining Protected Balance = Initial Purchase Payment = $100,000
  Protected Payment Amount = 5% of Protected Payment Base = $5,000

Since no withdrawal occurred prior to the Contract Anniversary at the beginning of Contract Year 2, an Income Access Credit of $6,000 (6% of Initial Remaining Protected Balance) is added to the Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance on that Contract Anniversary, increasing both to $106,000. As a result, the Protected Payment Amount on that Contract Anniversary is equal to $5,300 (5% of the Protected Payment Base on that Contract Anniversary).

Because the $5,000 withdrawal during Contract Year 2 does not exceed the Protected Payment Amount ($5,300):

  (a) the Protected Payment Base remains unchanged;
  (b) the Remaining Protected Balance is reduced by the amount of the withdrawal to $101,000 ($106,000 – $5,000); and
  (c) the Protected Payment Amount is equal to $300 (5% of the Protected Payment Base after the withdrawal (5% of $106,000 = $5,300), less cumulative withdrawals during that Contract Year ($5,000)).

Because the $3,000 withdrawal during Contract Year 2 exceeds the Protected Payment Amount immediately prior to the withdrawal ($3,000 > $300), the Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance immediately after the withdrawal are adjusted to the lesser of:

  (a) the Contract Value immediately after the withdrawal ($97,272); or
  (b) the Remaining Protected Balance immediately prior to the withdrawal, less the withdrawal amount ($101,000 - $3,000 = $98,000).

The Protected Payment Amount immediately after the withdrawal is equal to $0 (5% of the Protected Payment Base after the withdrawal (5% of $97,272 = $4,864), less cumulative withdrawals during that Contract Year ($8,000), but not less than zero).


 

Since a withdrawal occurred during Contract Year 2, no Income Access Credit will be added to the Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance on any Contract Anniversary following the withdrawal.

Example #5 – Reset in Remaining Protected Balance.

The values shown below are based on the following assumptions:

  Initial Purchase Payment = $100,000
  Rider Effective Date = Contract Date
  No subsequent Purchase Payments are received.
  No withdrawals taken.
  Reset in the Remaining Protected Balance at the Beginning of Contract Year 4.

    5           $146,410   $7,986   $141,086   $7,054   $141,086    

On the Rider Effective Date, the initial values are set as follows:

  Protected Payment Base = Initial Purchase Payment = $100,000
  Remaining Protected Balance = Initial Purchase Payment = $100,000
  Protected Payment Amount = 5% of Protected Payment Base = $5,000

On the Contract Anniversary at the beginning of Contract Year 4, the Contract Value ($133,100) is greater than the Remaining Protected Balance ($118,000). With the reset in Remaining Protected Balance, the Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance are set equal to the Contract Value on that Contract Anniversary. As a result, the Protected Payment Amount is equal to $6,655 after the reset.

After the reset in Remaining Protected Balance, eligibility for any Income Access Credit will be based on the most recent Reset Date. That is, an Income Access Credit may be added to the Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance on up to five additional Contract Anniversaries if certain conditions are met.

The reset in Remaining Protected Balance may result in an increase in the annual Income Access Charge percentage.

The reset in Remaining Protected Balance may also result in a lower Protected Payment Base, Remaining Protected Balance, Protected Payment Amount and Income Access Credit.
