This Contract is not designed for short-term investing and is not appropriate for an investor who needs ready access to cash.

Surrender charges apply for up to 7 years following your last premium payment (9 years if you have the Premium Payment Credit Rider). These charges will reduce the value of your Contract if you withdraw money during that time.
5. PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE CONTRACT – Liquidity Risk
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.

•  Each investment option (including the DCA Plus and Fixed Accounts) has its own unique risks.

•  You should review the prospectuses for the available underlying mutual funds before making an investment decision.
5. PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE CONTRACT

   RESTRICTIONS
LOCATION IN EXPANDED
PROSPECTUS
Investments  
Investment Limitations – If you purchased a Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit (“GMWB”) rider at the time you purchased your Contract, the underlying mutual funds available to you as investment options under the Contract will be limited.
10. BENEFITS AVAILABLE UNDER THE CONTRACT - Living Benefit – Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit (GMWB)
Limitations on Transfers – We reserve the right to charge you for each unscheduled transfer after the first unscheduled transfer in a contract year. We also reserve the right to limit transfers in circumstances where frequent transfers have been made.
8. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE CONTRACT – Frequent Transfers among Divisions
Removal or Substitution of Underlying Mutual Funds - We reserve the right to remove, close or substitute the underlying mutual funds that are available as investment options under the Contract.
8. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE CONTRACT – Contract or Registrant Changes
Optional Benefits  
The following were optional benefits you could have purchased at the time you purchased your Contract: the Premium Payment Credit Rider; and either the Principal Income Builder 3 (“PIB 3”) or Principal Income Builder 10 (“PIB 10”), both of which are GMWB riders.

Having the Premium Payment Credit Rider extends the surrender charge period for your Contract and the value of the credit may be more than offset by the additional charges for the rider.

Having a GMWB rider: limits your underlying investment options; restricts your ability to terminate the rider until the 5th Contract anniversary; and, if you take excess withdrawals, you will shorten the life of the rider, lower the withdrawal benefit payment(s) and/or cause the rider to terminate for lack of value.

   TAXES    LOCATION IN EXPANDED   PROSPECTUS
Tax Implications  
•  You should consult with a tax professional to determine the tax implications of an investment in, withdrawals from and surrenders of this Contract.

•  If you purchase the Contract through a tax-qualified plan or individual retirement account (IRA), such plan or IRA already provides tax deferral under the Code and there are fees and charges in an annuity that may not be included in such other investments. The tax deferral of the annuity does not provide any additional tax benefits for such a plan or IRA.

•  Premiums that are made on a pre-tax basis and earnings on your Contract are taxed at ordinary income tax rates when you withdraw them. You also may have to pay a 10% penalty tax if you take a withdrawal before age 59½.

16. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE CONTRACT – Payments to Financial Intermediaries
Exchanges  
Your financial professional may have a financial incentive to offer you a new contract in place of the one you own. You should only consider exchanging your Contract if you determine, after comparing the features, fees, and risks of both contracts, that it is in your best interest to purchase the new contract rather than continuing to own your existing Contract.
