RISKS		LOCATION IN PROSPECTUS
Risk of Loss	You can lose money by investing in the Contract, including loss of principal.	Principal Risks of Investing in the Contract
Not a Short-Term Investment	This Contract is not a short-term investment and is not appropriate for an investor who needs ready access to cash. The benefits of tax deferral, long-term income, and living benefits are generally more beneficial to investors with a long-term investment horizon.	Principal Risks of Investing in the Contract
Risks Associated with Investment Options	An investment in this Contract is subject to the risk of poor investment performance and can vary depending on the performance of the Investment Options available under the Contract (e.g. Funds). Each Investment Option will have its own unique risks. You should review, working with your Schwab investment professional, the Investment Options before making an investment decision.	Principal Risks of Investing in the Contract Appendix: Funds Available Under the Contract

RESTRICTIONS		LOCATION IN PROSPECTUS

Transfers to or from a Variable Investment Option cannot be made before the seventh calendar day following the last transfer to or from the same Variable Investment Option. Certain Funds may stop accepting additional investments into the Fund or a Fund may liquidate.

We reserve the right to remove, close to new investment, or substitute Funds as Investment Options.	Transfers and Market-Timing Restrictions Appendix: Funds Available Under the Contract

RESTRICTIONS		LOCATION IN PROSPECTUS
Optional Benefits	Certain optional living benefits limit or restrict the Investment Options that you may select under the Contract. We may change these limits or restrictions in the future. Withdrawals that exceed withdrawal limits specified by an optional living benefit may affect the availability of the benefit, by reducing the benefit by an amount greater than the value withdrawn, and/or could terminate the benefit. We may stop offering an optional living benefit or optional death benefit at any time, including for current Contract Owners who have not yet purchased the rider. We reserve the right to reject or restrict, at our discretion, any additional Purchase Payments for a rider and, as a result, we will not accept Purchase Payments for your Contract. You will not be able to increase protected amounts or your Contract Value through additional Purchase Payments. Certain Owners of Qualified Contracts may borrow against their Contracts. Otherwise loans from us are not permitted. You may have only one loan outstanding at any time. The minimum loan amount is $1,000, subject to certain state limitations. The maximum loan amount may not exceed the lesser of 50% of the amount available for withdrawal under this Contract or $50,000 less your highest outstanding Contract Debt during the 12-month period immediately preceding the effective date of your loan. The interest charged on your Contract Debt will be a 5% fixed annual rate and the amount held in the Loan Account to secure your loan will earn a 3% annual return. Therefore, the net amount of interest you will pay on your loan will be 2% annually. Taking a loan may have tax consequences. Taking a loan while an optional living benefit Rider is in effect will terminate your Rider.

TAXES		LOCATION IN PROSPECTUS
Tax Implications	Consult with a tax professional to determine the tax implications of an investment in and payments received under the Contract. It is important to know that IRAs and qualified plans are already tax-deferred which means the tax deferral feature of a variable annuity does not provide a benefit in addition to that already offered by an IRA or qualified plan. An annuity contract should only be used to fund an IRA or qualified plan to benefit from the annuity’s features other than tax deferral. Withdrawals will be subject to ordinary income tax and may be subject to a tax penalty if you take a withdrawal before age 59½.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST		LOCATION IN PROSPECTUS
Investment Professional Compensation	Some Schwab investment professionals may receive compensation for selling this Contract to you in the form of commissions, additional payments, non-cash compensation, and/or reimbursement of expenses. These Schwab investment professionals may have a financial incentive to offer or recommend this Contract over another investment that may pay less compensation.	Distribution Arrangements
Exchanges	Some Schwab investment professionals may have a financial incentive to offer you a new contract in place of the one you already own. You should only exchange your contract if you determine, after comparing the features, fees, and risks of both contracts, that it is preferable for you to purchase the new contract rather than continue to own the existing contract.

LIVING BENEFIT INVESTMENT ALLOCATION REQUIREMENTS

Investment Allocation Requirements

At initial purchase and during the entire time that you own an optional living benefit Rider, you must allocate your entire Contract Value the Investment Options we make available for these Riders. You may allocate your Contract Value 100% among the allowable Investment Options.

Currently, the allowable Investment Options for the Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit Riders are as follows:

Allowable Investment Options

Schwab VIT Balanced Portfolio

Schwab VIT Balanced with Growth Portfolio

Schwab VIT Growth Portfolio

You may transfer your entire Contract Value between allowable Investment Options, subject to certain transfer limitations. See HOW YOUR PURCHASE PAYMENTS ARE ALLOCATED – Transfers and Market-timing Restrictions. Keep in mind that you must allocate your entire Contract Value among the allowable Investment Options. If you do not allocate your entire Purchase Payment or Contract Value according to the requirements above, your Rider will terminate.

Allowable Investment Options. You may allocate your entire Contract Value among any of the allowable Investment Options listed in the table above.

By adding an optional living benefit Rider to your Contract, you agree to the above referenced investment allocation requirements for the entire period that you own a Rider. These requirements may limit the number of Investment Options

6

that are otherwise available to you under your Contract. We reserve the right to add, remove or change allowable asset allocation programs or allowable Investment Options at any time. We may make such a change due to a fund reorganization, fund substitution, to help protect our ability to provide the guarantees under these riders (for example, changes in an underlying portfolio’s investment objective and principal investment strategies, or changes in general market conditions). If you already invested in an allowable Investment Option, a change to an existing allowable Investment Option will not require you to reallocate or transfer the total amount of Contract Value allocated to an affected Investment Option, except when an underlying portfolio is liquidated by a determination of its Board of Directors or by a fund substitution. If a change is required that will result in a reallocation or transfer of an existing Investment Option, we will provide you with reasonable notice (generally 90 calendar days) prior to the effective date of such change to allow you to reallocate your Contract Value to maintain your rider benefits. If you do not reallocate your Contract Value your rider will terminate.

We will send you written notice in the event any transaction made by you will involuntarily cause the rider to terminate for failure to invest according to the investment allocation requirements. However, you will have 10 Business Days starting from the date of our written notice (“10 day period”), to instruct us to take appropriate corrective action to continue participation in an allowable asset allocation program or allowable Investment Options to continue the rider. If you take appropriate corrective action and continue the rider, the rider benefits and features available immediately before the terminating event will remain in effect.

Asset allocation does not guarantee future results, ensure a profit, or protect against losses. The investment allocation requirements may reduce overall volatility in investment performance, may reduce investment returns, and may reduce the likelihood that we will be required to make payments under the optional living benefit riders. The reduction in volatility permits us to more effectively provide the guarantees under the Contract.

The allowable Investment Options seek to minimize risk and may reduce overall volatility in investment performance, which may reduce investment returns, and may reduce the likelihood that we will be required to provide benefits under the optional benefit Rider. The reduction in volatility permits us to more effectively provide the guarantees under the Contract.
