Glossary

We have capitalized some of the technical terms used in this prospectus. To help you understand these terms, we have defined them in this glossary.

Accumulation Phase - The period during which you invest money in your contract.

Accumulation Units - A measurement we use to calculate the value of the variable portion of your contract during the Accumulation Phase.

Annuitant - The person on whose life we base annuity income payments after you begin the Income Phase.

Annuity Date - The date you select on which annuity income payments begin.

Annuity Units - A measurement we use to calculate the amount of annuity income payments you receive from the variable portion of your contract during the Income Phase.

Beneficiary - The person you designate to receive any benefits under the contract if you or, in the case of a non-natural Owner, the Annuitant dies. If your contract is jointly owned, you and the joint Owner are each other’s primary Beneficiary.

Company - Refers to American General Life Insurance Company (“AGL”), the insurer that issues the contract. The term “we,” “us” and “our” are also used to identify the Company.

Continuation Contribution - An amount by which the death benefit that would have been paid to the spousal Beneficiary upon the death of the original Owner exceeds the contract value as of the Good Order date. We will contribute this amount, if any, to the contract value upon spousal continuation.

Continuing Spouse - Spouse of original contract Owner at the time of death who elects to continue the contract after the death of the original contract Owner.

Fixed Account - An account, if available, in which you may invest money and earn a fixed rate of return. Fixed Accounts are obligations of the General Account.

General Account - The Company’s account, which includes any amounts you have allocated to available Fixed Accounts, including any interest credited thereon, and amounts owed under your contract for death benefits and/or Living Benefits which are in excess of portions of contract value allocated to the Variable Portfolios.

Good Order - Fully and accurately completed form(s) and/or instructions, including any necessary documentation, applicable to any given transaction or request received by us.

Gross Purchase Payments - The money you give us to buy the contract, as well as any additional money you give us to invest in the contract after you own it. Gross Purchase Payments do not reflect the reduction of the sales charge.

Income Phase - The period upon annuitization during which we make annuity income payments to you.

Insurable Interest - Evidence that the Owner(s), Annuitant(s) or Beneficiary(ies) will suffer a financial loss at the death of the life that triggers the death benefit. Generally, we consider an interest insurable if a familial relationship and/or an economic interest exists. A familial relationship generally includes those persons related by blood or by law. An economic interest exists when the Owner has a lawful and substantial economic interest in having the life, health or bodily safety of the insured life preserved.

Latest Annuity Date - The first NYSE business day of the month following your 95th birthday or tenth contract anniversary, whichever is later.

Market Close - The close of the New York Stock Exchange on business days, excluding holidays, usually at 1:00 p.m. Pacific Time.

Qualified (contract) - A contract purchased with pretax dollars. These contracts are generally purchased under a pension plan, specially sponsored program or IRA.

Separate Account - A segregated asset account maintained by the Company separately from the Company’s General Account. The Separate Account consists of Variable Portfolios or subaccounts, each investing in shares of the Underlying Funds.

Trusts - Collectively refers to the AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), American Funds Insurance Series®, Franklin Templeton Variable Insurance Products Trust, Goldman Sachs Variable Insurance Trust, Lord Abbett Series Fund, Inc., Seasons Series Trust and SunAmerica Series Trust.

Underlying Funds - The underlying investment portfolios of the Trusts in which the Variable Portfolios invest.

OVERVIEW OF THE CONTRACT

Purpose of the Contract

The contract is designed to help you invest on a tax-deferred basis, meet long-term financial goals, and plan for your retirement. You can accumulate assets by investing in the contract’s investment options and then later convert those accumulated assets into a stream of guaranteed income payments from us. The contract includes certain death benefit options that may help financially protect your beneficiaries in the event of your death. Optional Living Benefits may also be available under the contract, which are designed to help you achieve your financial goals and protect against certain financial risks.

This contract may be appropriate for you if you have a long investment time horizon and the contract’s terms and conditions are consistent with your financial goals. It is not intended for people whose liquidity needs require early or frequent withdrawals or for people who intend to frequently trade in the contract’s Variable Portfolios.

Phases of the Contract

Like all deferred annuities, the contract has two phases: (1) the Accumulation Phase (for savings) and (2) the Income Phase (for income).

Accumulation Phase. During the Accumulation Phase, you invest the money under your contract in one or more available investment options to help you build assets on a tax-deferred basis. The available investment options may include:

•

Variable Portfolios. When you invest in a Variable Portfolio, you are indirectly investing in the Variable Portfolio’s Underlying Fund. The Underlying Funds have different investment objectives, strategies, and risks. You can gain or lose money if you invest in a Variable Portfolio.
Additional information about each Underlying Fund is provided in an appendix to this prospectus. Please see APPENDIX A - INVESTMENT OPTIONS AVAILABLE UNDER THE CONTRACT.

•

Fixed Accounts. When you invest in a Fixed Account option, your principal is guaranteed and earns interest based on a rate set and guaranteed by the Company. Additional information about each Fixed Account is provided in an appendix to this prospectus. Please see APPENDIX A - INVESTMENT OPTIONS AVAILABLE UNDER THE CONTRACT.

The amount of money you accumulate under your contract depends (in part) on the performance of the investment options you choose. You may transfer money between investment options during the Accumulation Phase, subject to certain restrictions and possible fees. Your accumulated

assets impact the value of your contract’s benefits during the Accumulation Phase, including the death benefit and any optional Living Benefits, as well as the amount available for withdrawal.

Income Phase. When you are ready to receive guaranteed income under the contract, you can switch to the Income Phase, at which time you will start to receive annuity income payments from us. This is also referred to as “annuitizing” your contract. You generally decide when to annuitize your contract, although there are restrictions on the earliest and latest times that your contract may be annuitized. If you do not annuitize or surrender your contract before the latest annuitization date, your contract will be automatically annuitized. Once your contract is annuitized, you will no longer be able to surrender, take withdrawals of contract value and all other features and benefits of your contract, including the death benefit, will terminate.

You can choose from the available annuity income options, which may provide income for life, for an available period of time, or a combination of both. You can also choose to receive payments on a variable or fixed basis, or some combination of both. If the payments are fixed, the dollar amount of each payment will not change. If the payments are variable, the dollar amounts for the payments will fluctuate.

There is no death benefit during the Income Phase. Annuity payments may be payable after death depending on the annuity income option that you selected. You cannot take withdrawals of contract value or surrender the contract during the Income Phase. If you own an optional Living Benefit at the time that you annuitize the contract, you may choose to take annuity income payments in accordance with that Living Benefit. Otherwise, your optional Living Benefit terminates at the beginning of the Income Phase.

Contract Features

Accessing Your Money. You may withdraw money from your contract at any time during the Accumulation Phase. If you make a withdrawal, you may have to pay a withdrawal charge and/or income taxes, including a tax penalty if you are younger than age 59½.

Withdrawals may negatively impact the value of your contract’s benefits, and may cause an optional Living Benefit to terminate.

Tax Treatment. You can transfer money between investment options without tax implications, and earnings (if any) on your investments are generally tax-deferred. Earnings are not taxed until they are distributed, which may occur when making a withdrawal, upon receiving an annuity payment, or upon payment of the death benefit.

Optional Living Benefits. You may have elected one of the optional Living Benefits under the contract for an additional

fee at the time of contract issue. Each Living Benefit is designed to provide limited protection from unfavorable investment performance during the Accumulation Phase, and can also provide a guaranteed income stream that may last as long as you live.

Death Benefits. If you die during the Accumulation Phase, the Company pays a death benefit to your beneficiary or beneficiaries. The contract includes a Maximum Anniversary Value death benefit at no additional charge.

Additional Features and Services. Additional features and services under the contract are summarized below. There are no additional charges associated with these features and services unless otherwise noted. Not all features and services may be available under your contract.

•

Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) Fixed Accounts. If you invest in a DCA Fixed Account, interest is credited to amounts allocated to that DCA Fixed Account and your money is systematically transferred from the DCA Fixed Account to one or more investment options over a specified period of time. Automatic transfers do not count towards the number of free transfers per contract year.

•

Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) Program. The DCA program allows you to systematically transfer a specified dollar amount or percentage of contract value from an investment option to one or more eligible investment options. Automatic transfers do not count towards the number of free transfers per contract year.

•

Automatic Asset Rebalancing Program. This program allows you to have your investments periodically rebalanced so that the resulting allocations are consistent with your current investment instructions. Automatic rebalances do not count towards the number of free transfers per contract year.

•

Systematic Withdrawal Program. This program allows you to receive periodic withdrawals from your contract on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, or annual basis.

•

Automatic Payment Plan. This program allows you to make automatic subsequent Purchase Payments, once you have contributed at least the minimum initial Purchase Payment.

Important Information You Should Consider About the Contract

	FEES AND EXPENSES			Location in Prospectus
Are There Charges or Adjustments for Early Withdrawals?	Yes. If your Gross Purchase Payment(s) qualify for the $1,000,000 or more Investment Amount level and are invested for less than 12 months at the time of a withdrawal, you may be assessed a withdrawal charge of up to 0.50%, as a percentage of each Purchase Payment withdrawn. For example, if you were to withdraw $100,000 during a withdrawal charge period, you could be assessed a withdrawal charge of up to $500. This loss will be greater if there are federal and state income taxes or tax-penalties. Withdrawal Charges do not apply to certain withdrawals including the withdrawal up to the annual penalty-free withdrawal amount which equals 10% of your Purchase Payments not yet withdrawn.			Expenses
Are There Transaction Charges?	Yes, in addition to withdrawal charges, you may be charged for other transactions such as an Upfront Sales Charge on Purchase Payments, charges for each transfer after 15 transfers in any contract year during the Accumulation Phase and certain tax-related charges on Purchase Payments.			Expenses
Are There Ongoing Fees and Expenses?	Yes. The table below describes the current fees and expenses of the contract that you may pay each year, depending on the investment options and optional benefits you choose.

To help you understand the cost of owning your contract, the following table shows the lowest and highest cost you could pay each year, based on current charges. This estimate assumes that you do not take withdrawals from the contract, which could add withdrawal charges that substantially increase costs.

	Assumes: •Investment of $100,000 •5% annual appreciation •Least expensive Underlying Fund fees and expenses •No optional benefits •No withdrawal charges •No additional Purchase Payments, transfers, or withdrawals	Assumes: •Investment of $100,000 •5% annual appreciation •Most expensive combination of optional benefits and Underlying Fund fees and expenses •No withdrawal charges •No additional Purchase Payments, transfers, or withdrawals

	RISKS	Location in Prospectus
Is There a Risk of Loss from Poor Performance?	Yes. You can lose money by investing in this contract, including possible loss of your principal investment.	Principal Risks of Investing in the Contract
Is this a Short-Term Investment?	No. •This contract is not designed for short-term investing and may not be appropriate for an investor who needs ready access to cash. As such, you should not use the contract as a short-term investment or savings vehicle. •Charges may apply to withdrawals. Withdrawal charges could significantly reduce the value of your investment or the amount that you receive upon taking a withdrawal. Withdrawals may also reduce or terminate contract guarantees and may also be subject to state and federal income taxes and tax-penalties. •The benefits of tax deferral, long-term income, and optional Living Benefit guarantees mean that this contract is generally more beneficial to investors with a long investment time horizon.
What are the Risks Associated with the 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 each Fixed Account option) has its own unique risks. •You should review the available investment options before making an investment decision.
What are the Risks Related to the Insurance Company?	An investment in the contract is subject to the risks related to us, American General Life Insurance Company. Any obligations (including under a Fixed Account option), guarantees, and benefits of the contract are subject to our claims-paying ability. An Owner should look solely to our financial strength for our claims-paying ability. More information about the Company, including our financial strength ratings, may be obtained at https://investors.corebridgefinancial.com/financials/Ratings/default.aspx .
	RESTRICTIONS
Are There Limits on the Investment Options?	Yes. Transfer Restrictions. •During the Accumulation Phase, you must transfer at least $100 per transfer between any of the Variable Portfolios and/or any available Fixed Accounts. If less than $100 remains in any Variable Portfolio or Fixed Account after a transfer, that amount must be transferred as well. Funds already in your contract cannot be transferred to the DCA Fixed Account, if available. A transfer request will be priced as of the day it is received before Market Close. If the transfer request is received after Market Close, the request will be priced as of the next NYSE business day. •During the Income Phase, only one transfer per month is permitted between the Variable Portfolios. No other transfers are allowed during the Income Phase. Transfers will be effected for the last NYSE business day of the month in which we receive your request for the transfer. You may not use the DCA Program or the Automatic Asset Rebalancing Program during the Income Phase. •Your transfers between the Variable Portfolios are subject to policies designed to deter frequent and short-term trading. Investment Restrictions. If you elect an optional Living Benefit, not all investment options may be available and you must invest in accordance with the applicable investment requirements. You may be required to invest a certain percentage of your contract value in a certain investment option. We reserve the right to modify the investment requirements in the future. If you do not elect any optional benefit, or if the only optional benefit you elect is a death benefit, your contract is not subject to investment requirements. Availability of Variable Portfolios. We may, subject to any applicable law, make certain changes to the Variable Portfolios offered in your contract. We may offer new Variable Portfolios or stop offering existing Variable Portfolios. New Variable Portfolios may be made available to existing contract Owners, and Variable Portfolios may be closed to new or subsequent Purchase Payments, transfers or allocations. In addition, we may also liquidate the shares of any Variable Portfolio, substitute the shares of one Underlying Fund held by a Variable Portfolio for another and/or merge Variable Portfolios or cooperate in a merger of Underlying Funds. To the extent required by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, we may be required to obtain SEC approval or your approval.	Investment Options

Optional Living Benefits Death Benefits
	TAXES
What are the Contract’s Tax Implications?	•You should consult with a tax professional to determine the tax implications of an investment in and payments received under the contract. •If you purchase the contract through a tax-qualified plan or individual retirement account (IRA), there is no additional tax benefit under the contract. •Earnings under your contract are taxed at ordinary income tax rates when withdrawn.

	CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
How Are Investment Professionals Compensated?	Your financial representative may receive compensation for selling this contract to you in the form of commissions, additional cash compensation, and/or non-cash compensation. We may share the revenue we earn on this contract with your financial representative’s firm. Revenue sharing arrangements and commissions may provide selling firms and/or their registered representatives with an incentive to favor sales of our contracts over other variable annuity contracts (or other investments) with respect to which a selling firm does not receive the same level of additional compensation. You should ask your financial representative about how they are compensated.	Payments in Connection with Distribution of the Contract
Should I Exchange My Contract?	Some financial representatives may have a financial incentive to offer you a new contract in place of the one you already own. You should exchange a contract you already own only if you determine, after comparing the features, fees, and risks of both contracts, that it is better for you to purchase the new contract rather than continue to own your existing contract.

2 A withdrawal charge of 0.50% applies only to Gross Purchase Payment(s) that qualify for the $1,000,000 or more Investment Amount level, if the Gross Purchase Payment(s) are invested less than 12 months at the time of withdrawal.

3 The contract maintenance fee is assessed annually and may be waived if contract value is $50,000 or more.

4 Base Contract Expenses: If you do not elect any optional features, your total Base Contract Expense would be 0.85% annually.

5 EstatePlus is an optional earnings enhancement death benefit. This feature is not available on contracts issued in Washington.

6 MarketLock Income Plus and MarketLock For Life Plus are optional guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefits. The fee is assessed against the Income Base which determines the basis of the guaranteed benefit. The annualized fee is deducted from your contract value at the end of the first quarter following election and quarterly thereafter. For a complete description of how the Income Base is calculated, please see OPTIONAL LIVING BENEFITS below. If you purchased your contract prior to May 1, 2008 and elected MarketLock For Life Plus, please see APPENDIX D – LIVING BENEFIT PROVISIONS FOR CONTRACTS ISSUED PRIOR TO MAY 1, 2008 for the fee applicable to this feature.

7 MarketLock is an optional guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit. The annual fee is assessed against the MAV Benefit Base which determines the basis of the guaranteed benefit. The applicable annualized fee is deducted from your contract value at the end of the first quarter following the election and quarterly thereafter. For a complete description of how the MAV Benefit Base is calculated, please see OPTIONAL LIVING BENEFITS below.

Examples

These examples are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Variable Portfolios with the cost of investing in other annuity contracts that offer variable options. These costs include transaction expenses, annual contract expenses, and annual Underlying Fund expenses.

These examples assume all contract value is allocated to Variable Portfolios. Your costs could differ from those shown below if you invest in the Fixed Account options.

The expense examples below assume that you invest $100,000 in the Variable Portfolios for the time periods indicated; your investment has a 5% return each year; and you incur the maximum or minimum fees and expenses of the Underlying Funds as indicated in the examples.

The Maximum Expense Examples reflect the most expensive possible combination of charges (including additional charges for optional benefits). Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs at the end of the stated period would be the amounts set forth in the tables below.

Maximum Expense Examples

(assuming annual contract expenses of 1.10% including the EstatePlus feature, the optional MarketLock Income Plus feature (1.10%), and investment in an Underlying Fund with total expenses of 1.58%*)

(1)

If you surrender your contract at the end of the applicable time period:

1 year	3 years	5 years	10 years
$7,008	$14,495	$22,166	$42,178

(2)

If you annuitize your contract at the end of the applicable time period:

1 year	3 years	5 years	10 years
$7,008	$14,495	$22,166	$42,178

(3)

If you do not surrender your contract at the end of the applicable time period:

1 year	3 years	5 years	10 years
$7,008	$14,495	$22,166	$42,178

Minimum Expense Examples

(assuming annual contract expenses of 0.85%, no election of optional features and investment in an Underlying Fund with total expenses of 0.46%**)

(1)

If you surrender your contract at the end of the applicable time period:

1 year	3 years	5 years	10 years
$4,758	$7,478	$10,403	$18,712

(2)

If you annuitize your contract at the end of the applicable time period:

1 year	3 years	5 years	10 years
$4,758	$7,478	$10,403	$18,712

(3)

If you do not surrender your contract at the end of the applicable time period:

1 year	3 years	5 years	10 years
$4,758	$7,478	$10,403	$18,712

Additional Expense Example Information

In addition to the stated assumptions, the Expense Examples also assume that no transfer fees were imposed. Although premium taxes may apply in certain states, they are not reflected in the Expense Examples.

If you elected other optional features, your expenses would be lower than those shown in the Maximum Expense Examples. The Maximum Expense Examples assume that the Income Base, which is used to calculate the MarketLock Income Plus fee, equals contract value and that no withdrawals are taken during the stated period.

If you elected optional features, you do not pay fees for optional features once you begin the Income Phase (annuitize your contract); therefore, your expenses will be lower than those shown here. Please see ANNUITY INCOME OPTIONS below.

You may have elected certain optional benefits that are no longer being offered or changed since first being offered. Please see APPENDIX D – LIVING BENEFIT PROVISIONS FOR CONTRACTS ISSUED PRIOR TO MAY 1, 2008 and APPENDIX F – OPTIONAL DEATH BENEFITS AND SPOUSAL CONTINUATION DEATH BENEFITS FOR CONTRACTS ISSUED PRIOR TO MAY 1, 2009 for details about those benefits, including applicable fees.

The 1 year Maximum Expense Examples reflect the SunAmerica Series Trust 0.17% fee waiver.

The 1 year Minimum Expense Examples reflect the Goldman Sachs Variable Insurance Trust 0.03% fee waiver.

These examples should not be considered a representation of past or future expenses. Actual expenses may be greater or less than those shown.

Principal Risks Of Investing In The Contract

Market Risk. Variable annuities involve risks, including possible loss of principal. An investment in the Variable Portfolios available under the contract is subject to the risk of negative investment performance. You can lose money by investing in this contract, including loss of principal and/or prior earnings. Your losses could be significant. This contract is not a deposit or obligation of, or guaranteed or endorsed by, any bank. This contract is not federally insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board, or any other agency.

Short-Term Investment Risk. This contract is not designed for short-term investing and may not be appropriate for an investor who needs ready access to cash. The benefits of tax deferral, long-term income, and Living Benefit protections mean that this contract is more beneficial to investors with a long investment time horizon.

Early Withdrawal Risk. This contract is not designed for short-term investing and may not be appropriate for an investor who needs ready access to cash. You should carefully consider the risks associated with withdrawals under the contract. Withdrawals may be subject to significant withdrawal charges. If you make a withdrawal prior to age 59½, there may be adverse tax consequences, including a 10% IRS penalty tax. A withdrawal may reduce the value of your standard and optional benefits. For instance, a withdrawal will reduce the value of the death benefit. In addition, a withdrawal could reduce the value of an optional Living Benefit by an amount greater than the amount withdrawn and could result in termination of the benefit. A total withdrawal (surrender) will result in the termination of your contract. We may defer payment of withdrawals from a Fixed Account option for up to six months when permitted by law. If your Gross Purchase Payment(s) qualify for the $1,000,000 or more Investment Amount level and are invested for less than 12 months at the time of a withdrawal, you may be assessed a withdrawal charge of up to 0.50%, as a percentage of each Purchase Payment withdrawn.

Variable Portfolio Risk. Amounts that you invest in the Variable Portfolios are subject to the risk of poor investment performance. You assume the investment risk. You can gain or lose money if you invest in these Variable Portfolios. Each Variable Portfolio’s performance depends on the performance of its Underlying Fund. Each Underlying Fund has its own investment risks, and you are exposed to the Underlying Fund’s investment risks when you invest in a Variable Portfolio. You are responsible for allocating Purchase Payments to the Variable Portfolios that are appropriate for you based on your own individual circumstances, investment goals, financial situation, and risk tolerance. You bear the risk of any decline in contract value resulting from the performance of the Variable Portfolio you have selected. In making your investment selections, you should investigate all information available to you including

the Underlying Fund’s prospectus, statement of additional information and annual and semi-annual reports. We do not provide investment advice, nor do we recommend or endorse any particular Underlying Fund.

Selection Risk. The optional benefits under the contract were designed for different financial goals and to protect against different financial risks. There is a risk that you may not choose, or may not have chosen, the benefit or benefits (if any) that are best suited for you based on your present or future needs and circumstances, and the benefits that are more suited for you (if any) may no longer be available. In addition, if you elected an optional benefit and do not use it, or if the contingencies upon which the benefit depend never occur, you will have paid for a benefit that you may not use or benefit from.

Investment Requirements Risk. If you elect an optional Living Benefit, you will be subject to investment requirements that limit the investment options that are available to you and limit your ability to take certain actions under the contract. These investment requirements are designed to reduce our risk that we will have to make payments to you from our own assets. In turn, they may also limit the potential growth of your contract value and the potential growth of your guaranteed benefits.

Availability of Variable Portfolios Risk. We may, subject to any applicable law, make certain changes to the Variable Portfolios offered in your contract. We may offer new Variable Portfolios or stop offering existing Variable Portfolios.

Variable Portfolios may be closed to new or subsequent Purchase Payments, transfers, or allocations. In addition, we may also liquidate shares of one Underlying Fund held by a Variable Portfolio for another and/or merge Variable Portfolios or cooperate in a merger of Underlying Funds. New Variable Portfolios may have different performance characteristics. There is no guarantee that a particular Variable Portfolio will always be available as an investment option under the contract.

Managed Volatility Fund Risk. Certain Underlying Funds, including some Underlying Funds that are available under certain optional Living Benefits’ investment requirements, utilize managed volatility strategies. These risk management techniques help us manage our financial risks associated with the contract’s guarantees, like living and death benefits, because they reduce the incidence of extreme outcomes including the probability of large gains or losses. However, these strategies can also limit your participation in rising equity markets, which may limit the potential growth of your contract value and the potential growth of your guaranteed benefits.

Purchase Payment Risk. Your ability to make subsequent Purchase Payments is subject to certain restrictions. We reserve the right to refuse any Purchase Payment(s), limit the amount of subsequent Purchase Payment(s) with advance notice based on age as shown below and election of

optional benefit(s), and may require our prior approval before accepting Purchase Payments greater than the Purchase Payments Limit as defined in the Glossary. There is no guarantee that you will always be permitted to make Purchase Payments.

Minimum Contract Value Risk. Where permitted by state law, we may terminate your contract if your contract value is less than $500 as a result of withdrawals and/or fees and charges. We will provide you with 60 days written notice that your contract is being terminated. At the end of the notice period, we will distribute the contract’s remaining value to you.

Financial Strength and Claims-Paying Ability Risk. All guarantees under the contract that are paid from our general account (including under any Fixed Account option) are subject to our financial strength and claims-paying ability.

Business Disruption. Our business is vulnerable to disruptions from natural and man-made disasters and catastrophes, such as, but not limited to, hurricanes, windstorms, flooding, earthquakes, wildfires, solar storms, war or other military action, acts of terrorism, explosions and fires, pandemics (such as COVID-19) and other highly contagious diseases, mass torts, failure of telecommunications or other critical infrastructure and other catastrophes. A natural or man-made disaster or catastrophe may negatively affect the computer and other systems on which we rely, including service outages or other unavailability, may interfere with our ability to receive, pickup and process mail, to calculate Accumulation Unit Values (“AUVs”), process other contract-related transactions, or to otherwise provide our services, or may have other possible negative impacts. While we have developed and put in place what we believe to be appropriate business continuity and disaster recovery plans and procedures to mitigate operational risks and potential losses related to business disruptions resulting from natural and man-made disasters and catastrophes, there can be no assurance that we, our agents, the Underlying Funds or our service providers will be able to successfully avoid negative impacts resulting from such disasters and catastrophes.

Cybersecurity Risk. We rely heavily on interconnected computer systems and digital data to conduct our variable product business activities. Because our variable product business is highly dependent upon the effective operation of our computer systems and those of our business partners and service providers, our business is vulnerable to physical disruptions and utility outages, and susceptible to operational and information security risks resulting from information systems failure (e.g., hardware and software malfunctions), cyber-attacks, and user errors or other disruptions that may compromise the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of such systems and data. These risks include, among other things, the theft, misuse, corruption, disclosure and destruction of sensitive business data, including personal information, maintained on our or

our business partners’ or service providers’ systems, interference with our websites (such as via denial of service attacks), other operational disruptions, and unauthorized release of confidential customer information. Such systems failures, cyber-attacks, or other disruptions affecting us, any third-party administrator, the Underlying Funds, intermediaries and other affiliated or third-party service providers, as well as our distribution partners, may adversely affect us and your contract value. For instance, systems failures and cyber-attacks may interfere with our processing of contract transactions, including the processing of orders from our website, our distribution partners, or with the Underlying Funds, impact our ability to calculate AUVs, cause the release and possible destruction of confidential customer or business information, including personal information, impede order processing, or subject us and/or our service providers, distribution partners and other intermediaries to regulatory fines and enforcement action, litigation risks and financial losses and/or cause reputational damage. Cybersecurity risks may also impact the issuers of securities in which the Underlying Funds invest, which may cause the affected Underlying Funds to lose value. There may be an increased risk of cyber-attacks during periods of geo-political or military conflict. Further, the widespread development, implementation, and use of AI, machine learning, data analytics and similar tools that collect, aggregate and analyze data or inputs (collectively, “AI Tools”) may increase our exposure to, or exacerbate the risks of, cyber-attacks or other security incidents, particularly where such technologies are exploited by third parties to attempt to breach our or our business partners’ and service providers’ systems. Despite our implementation of policies and procedures, which we believe to be reasonable, that address physical, administrative and technical safeguards and controls and other preventative actions to protect our systems and sensitive business and customer information, including personal information, and reduce the risk of cyber-incidents, there can be no assurance that we or our distribution partners, the Underlying Funds or our business partners and service providers will avoid cyber-attacks or information security breaches in the future that may affect your contract and/or personal information.

Purchasing A PolarisII A-Class Platinum
Series Variable Annuity

When you purchase a variable annuity, a contract exists between you and the Company. You are the Owner of the contract.

Maximum Issue Age

We will not issue a contract to anyone age 86 or older on the contract issue date.

Note: In general, we will not issue a Qualified contract to anyone who is age 72 or older, unless it is shown that the minimum distribution required by the IRS is being made. Please see TAXES.

Joint Ownership

A Non-Qualified contract may be jointly owned by a spouse or non-spouse. Joint owners possess an equal and undivided interest in the contract. The age of the older Owner is used to determine the availability of most age driven benefits.

The addition of a joint Owner after the contract has been issued is contingent upon prior review and approval by the Company.

We will not issue a Qualified contract with joint owners, in accordance with tax law.

Spouse

Your spouse (as determined for federal tax law purposes) may jointly own the contract. In certain states, domestic or civil union partners (“Domestic Partners”) qualify for treatment as, or are equal to, spouses under state law.

Non-Spouse

Domestic Partners should consult with their tax adviser and/or financial representative as, they may not be able to fully benefit from certain benefits and features of the contract such as the optional Living Benefit, if applicable, and Spousal Continuation of the death benefit.

Please see APPENDIX C — STATE CONTRACT AVAILABILITY AND/OR VARIABILITY for a list of states that require that benefits and features be made to domestic or civil union partners.

Non-Natural Ownership

A trust, corporation or other non-natural entity may only own this contract if such entity has sufficiently demonstrated an Insurable Interest in the Annuitant selected.

At its sole discretion, the Company reserves the right to decline to issue this contract to certain entities. We apply various considerations including but not limited to:

•

Estate planning,

•

Tax consequences, and

•

The propriety of this contract as an investment consistent with a non-natural Owner’s organizational documentation.

For more information on non-natural ownership, please see TAXES. You should consult with your tax and/or legal advisor in connection with non-natural ownership of this contract.

Assignment of the Contract/Change of Ownership

You may assign this contract before beginning the Income Phase. We will not be bound by any assignment until we receive and process your written request at our Annuity Service Center and you have received confirmation.

•

Your rights and those of any other person with rights under this contract will be subject to the assignment.

•

We are not responsible for the validity, tax or other legal consequences of any assignment.

•

An assignment will not affect any payments we may make or actions we may take before we receive notice of the assignment.

We reserve the right not to recognize any assignment, as determined in our sole discretion, if it changes the risk profile of the contract owner, if no Insurable Interest exists, or if not permitted by the Internal Revenue Code.

Please see TAXES for details on the tax consequences of an assignment. You should consult a qualified tax adviser before assigning the contract.

Termination of the Contract for Misstatement and/or Fraud

The Company reserves the right to terminate the contract at any time if it discovers a misstatement or fraudulent representation of any information provided in connection with the issuance or ongoing administration of the contract.

If we learn of a misstatement of age, we reserve the right to fully pursue our remedies including revocation of any age-driven benefits and/or termination of the contract. Please see APPENDIX C — STATE CONTRACT AVAILABILITY AND/OR VARIABILITY for specific information.

Allocation of Purchase Payments

A Purchase Payment is the portion of your Gross Purchase Payment which we invest in your contract after we deduct the sales charge.

In order to issue your contract, we must receive your initial Gross Purchase Payment and all required paperwork in Good Order, including Purchase Payment allocation instructions at our Annuity Service Center.

Minimum Initial and Subsequent Gross Purchase Payments

	Minimum Initial Gross Purchase Payment	Minimum Subsequent Gross Purchase Payment	Minimum Automatic Subsequent Gross Purchase Payment
Qualified(1)	$2,000	$250	$100
Non- Qualified(1)	$5,000	$500	$100

(1)

These amounts depend upon whether a contract is Qualified or Non-Qualified for tax purposes. For further explanation, please see TAXES.

Purchase Payment Restrictions

We reserve the right to refuse any Gross Purchase Payment. We will not accept subsequent Purchase Payments from contract Owners age 86 or older.

•

For contracts owned by a non-natural Owner, we reserve the right to require prior Company approval to accept any Purchase Payment.

Effective January 15, 2016, if you have elected the following living benefit features:

•

MarketLock Income Plus or MarketLock For Life Plus, we will not accept subsequent Gross Purchase Payments on or after the 5th contract anniversary from your contract issue date. If you send a subsequent Gross Purchase Payment after the fifth contract anniversary, the Gross Purchase Payment will not be considered to be received by us and we will return the Gross Purchase Payment. As a result, the Income Base of the living benefit may not be increased by adding Purchase Payments.

•

MarketLock, we will not accept subsequent Gross Purchase Payments on or after the 2nd contract anniversary from your contract issue date. If you send a subsequent Gross Purchase Payment after the second contract anniversary, the Gross Purchase Payment will not be considered to be received by us and we will return the Gross Purchase Payment. As a result, the Income Base of the living benefit may not be increased by adding Purchase Payments.

Purchase Payments that would cause total Purchase Payments in all contracts issued by AGL, The United States Life Insurance Company ("US Life") and/or The Variable Annuity Life Insurance Company ("VALIC") to the same Owner and/or Annuitant to exceed the Purchase Payments Limit may also be subject to Company pre-approval.

Submission of Gross Purchase Payments

Gross Purchase Payments will be priced when received at the Annuity Service Center. Delivery of Gross Purchase Payments to any other address may result in a delay in

crediting your contract until the Gross Purchase Payment is received at the Annuity Service Center.

Regular Mail:

Gross Purchase Payments sent by regular mail must be sent to the Premium Processing Center at the following address:

American General Life Insurance Company

Premium Processing Center

P.O. Box 100330

Pasadena, CA 91189-0330

Express Delivery:

Gross Purchase Payments sent by overnight or express delivery must be sent to the Premium Processing Center at the following address:

American General Life Insurance Company

JPM Chase-AGL 100330

Premium Processing Center

2710 Media Center Drive

Building #6, Suite 120

Los Angeles, CA 90065-1750

Receipt of Purchase Payments:

Purchase Payments will be picked up at the mailing addresses noted above and forwarded to our Annuity Service Center. Purchase Payments, however, are not considered received by us until received at our Annuity Service Center in Good Order.

We allocate your Purchase Payment to your contract as of the date such Purchase Payment is priced. Initial Purchase Payments received at the Annuity Service Center in Good Order before Market Close will be priced within two NYSE business days after it is received. Initial Purchase Payments received at the Annuity Service Center in Good Order after Market Close will be priced within two NYSE business days after the next NYSE business day.

If we do not have complete information necessary to issue your contract, we will contact you. If we do not receive the necessary information within five NYSE business days, we will obtain your permission to keep your money until we get the information necessary to issue the contract, or we will send your money back to whomever we received the funds.

Any subsequent Purchase Payment will be priced as of the day it is received by the Annuity Service Center in Good Order before Market Close. If the subsequent Purchase Payment is received at the Annuity Service Center in Good Order after Market Close, it will be priced as of the next NYSE business day.

We invest your subsequent Purchase Payments in the Variable Portfolios and available Fixed Accounts according to any allocation instructions that accompany the subsequent Purchase Payment. If we receive a Purchase Payment

without allocation instructions, we will invest the Purchase Payment according to your allocation instructions on file.

Electronic Transmission:

We will accept initial and subsequent Gross Purchase Payments by electronic transmission from certain broker-dealer firms.

Agent of Company:

We may have an agreement in place whereby your broker-dealer may be deemed our agent for receipt of your Gross Purchase Payments. If a broker-dealer is deemed to be our agent, Gross Purchase Payments will be priced as of the time they are received by the broker-dealer.

You assume any risk in market fluctuations if you submit your Gross Purchase Payment directly to a broker-dealer that does not have such an agreement, should there be a delay in that broker-dealer delivering your Gross Purchase Payment to us. Please check with your financial representative to determine if his/her broker-dealer has an agreement with the Company that deems the broker-dealer an agent of the Company.

Automatic Payment Plan:

Once you have contributed at least the minimum initial Gross Purchase Payment, you can establish an Automatic Payment Plan that allows you to make subsequent Gross Purchase Payments , if you have not elected a Living Benefit feature.

Accumulation Units

We credit your contract with Accumulation Units when you allocate a Purchase Payment to the Variable Portfolios. We determine the value of each Accumulation Unit at the close of every NYSE business day. The value of an Accumulation Unit goes up and down based on the performance of the Variable Portfolios and the fees and expenses under your contract.

The number of Accumulation Units you are credited is calculated the day we process your Purchase Payment. Please see ALLOCATION OF PURCHASE PAYMENTS.

The Accumulation Unit value is determined by multiplying the Accumulation Unit value for the preceding NYSE business day by a factor for the current NYSE business day.

The factor is determined by:

dividing the net asset value per share of the Underlying Fund at the end of the current NYSE business day, plus any dividend or capital gains per share declared on behalf of the Underlying Fund as of that day, by the net asset value per share of the Underlying Fund for the previous NYSE business day; and

multiplying it by one minus all applicable daily asset based charges.

We determine the number of Accumulation Units credited to your contract by dividing the Purchase Payment by the Accumulation Unit value for the specific Variable Portfolio.

Example:

We receive a $25,000 Gross Purchase Payment from you on Wednesday which you allocate to the Variable Portfolio A. After we deduct the sales charge, the net amount to be invested of your Gross Purchase Payment is $23,562.50. We determine that the value of an Accumulation Unit for the Variable Portfolio A is $11.10 when the NYSE closes on Wednesday. We then divide $23,562.50 by $11.10 and credit your contract on Wednesday night with 2,122.747748 Accumulation Units for the Variable Portfolio A.

Performance of the Variable Portfolios and the insurance charges under your contract affect Accumulation Unit values. These factors cause the value of your contract to go up and down.

Right to Examine

You may cancel your contract within ten days after receiving it. We call this a “free look.” Your state may require a longer free look period. Please check your contract or with your financial representative. To cancel, you must mail the contract along with your written free look request to our Annuity Service Center at P.O. Box 15570, Amarillo, Texas 79105-5570.

If you decide to cancel your contract during the free look period, generally we will refund to you the value of your contract on the day we receive your request in Good Order at the Annuity Service Center plus any sales charges we deducted. The amount refunded may be more or less than the amount you originally invested. Certain states require us to return your Gross Purchase Payments upon a free look request. Additionally, all contracts issued as an IRA require the full return of Gross Purchase Payments upon a free look.

If your contract was issued either in a state requiring return of Gross Purchase Payments or as an IRA, and you cancel your contract during the free look period, we return the greater of (1) your Gross Purchase Payments; or (2) the value of your contract on the day we receive your request in Good Order at the Annuity Service Center. With respect to these contracts, we reserve the right to put your money in a money market portfolio during the free look period. If we place your money in a money market or similar portfolio during the free look period, we will allocate your money according to your instructions at the end of the applicable free look period.

Exchange Offers

From time to time, we allow you to exchange an older variable annuity issued by the Company or one of its affiliates, for a newer product with different features and benefits issued by the Company or one of its affiliates. Such

an exchange offer will be made in accordance with applicable federal securities laws and state insurance rules and regulations. We will provide the specific terms and conditions of any such exchange offer at the time the offer is made.

Investment Options

You may allocate purchase payments using one or a combination of the investment options and Fixed Accounts, as may be available under your contract:

•

Variable Portfolios

•

Fixed Accounts

•

Dollar Cost Averaging Fixed Account

If you elect an optional Living Benefit, not all investment options may be available and you must allocate your purchase payments in accordance with the applicable investment requirements. Please see Investment Requirements For Optional Living Benefits in APPENDIX A – UNDERLYING FUNDS AVAILABLE UNDER THE CONTRACT for the specific investment requirements applicable to your Living Benefit.

Variable Portfolios

The Variable Portfolios available under the contract invest in the Underlying Funds of the Trusts. Contract value allocated to a Variable Portfolio will vary based on the investment experience of the corresponding Underlying Fund in which the Variable Portfolio invests. There is a risk of loss of the entire amount invested.

Information regarding each Underlying Fund, including (i) its name, (ii) its type, (iii) its investment advisor and any sub-investment advisor, (iv) current expenses, and (v) performance is available in an appendix to this prospectus. See APPENDIX A - INVESTMENT OPTIONS AVAILABLE UNDER THE CONTRACT.

Each Underlying Fund has issued a prospectus that contains more detailed information about the Underlying Fund. Read these prospectuses carefully before investing. Paper or electronic copies of the Underlying Fund prospectuses may be obtained by calling (855) 421-2692 or visiting our website at www.corebridgefinancial.com/ProductProspectuses.

You may also obtain information about the Underlying Funds by accessing the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s website at www.sec.gov.

From time to time, certain Variable Portfolio names are changed. When we are notified of a name change, we will make changes so that the new name is properly shown. However, until we complete the changes, we may provide you with various forms, reports and confirmations that reflect a Variable Portfolio’s prior name.

Certain Underlying Funds offered under this contract have similar investment objectives to other Underlying Funds

managed by the same advisor or subadvisor. The investment results of the Underlying Funds, however, may be higher or lower than such other Underlying Funds. We do not guarantee or make any representation that the investment results of any of the Underlying Funds will be comparable to the investment results of any other Underlying Fund managed by the same investment advisor or subadvisor.

During periods of low short-term interest rates, and in part due to contract fees and expenses, the investment return of a money market or similar portfolio may become extremely low and possibly negative. In the case of negative returns, your investment in a money market or similar portfolio will lose value.

You can gain or lose money if you invest in these Variable

Portfolios. You are responsible for allocating Purchase

Payments to the Variable Portfolios as appropriate for your

own individual circumstances, investment goals, financial

situation and risk tolerance. You should periodically review

your allocations and values to ensure they continue to suit

your needs. You bear the risk of any decline in contract

value resulting from the performance of the Variable

Portfolio you have selected. In making your investment

selections, you should investigate all information available

to you including the Underlying Fund’s prospectus,

statement of additional information and annual and

semi-annual reports.

We do not provide investment advice, nor do we

recommend or endorse any particular Underlying Fund.

Please consult your financial representative regarding which of these Variable Portfolios are appropriate for your risk tolerance.

You should read the prospectuses for the Trusts carefully for detailed information about the Underlying Funds, including each Underlying Fund’s investment objective and risk factors.

Selection of Underlying Funds

The Underlying Funds offered through this contract are selected by us and we may consider various factors in the selection process, including but not limited to: asset class coverage, the strength of the investment advisor’s or subadvisor’s reputation and tenure, brand recognition, the alignment of the investment objectives of an Underlying Fund with our hedging strategy, performance and the capability and qualification of each investment firm.

Another factor we may consider is whether the Underlying Fund or its service providers (i.e. the investment advisor and/or subadvisor(s)) or their affiliates will make payments to us or our affiliates in connection with certain administrative, marketing and support services, or whether the Underlying Fund’s service providers have affiliates that can provide marketing and distribution support for sales of the contract. Please see PAYMENTS IN CONNECTION WITH DISTRIBUTION OF THE CONTRACT below.

We review the Underlying Funds periodically and may make changes if we determine that an Underlying Fund no longer satisfies one or more of the selection criteria and/or if the Underlying Fund has not attracted significant allocations from contract Owners.

Trusts

We offer Underlying Funds of unaffiliated Trusts. The Trusts serve as the underlying investment vehicles for other variable annuity contracts issued by the Company as well as by other insurance companies.

Neither the Company nor the Trusts believe that offering shares of the Trusts in this manner disadvantages you. The Trusts are monitored for potential conflicts. The Trusts may have other Underlying Funds, in addition to those listed here, that are not available for investment under this contract.

We offer Underlying Funds of the following Trusts:

•

AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) – Series II Shares

•

American Funds Insurance Series® – Class 2 Shares

•

Franklin Templeton Variable Insurance Products Trust – Class 2 Shares

•

Goldman Sachs Variable Insurance Trust – Class Service Shares

•

Lord Abbett Series Fund, Inc. – Class VC Shares

•

Seasons Series Trust — Class 3 Shares

•

SunAmerica Series Trust – Class 3 Shares

Substitution, Addition or Deletion of Variable Portfolios

We may, subject to any applicable law, make certain changes to the Variable Portfolios offered in your contract. We may offer new Variable Portfolios or stop offering existing Variable Portfolios. New Variable Portfolios may be made available to existing contract Owners, and Variable Portfolios may be closed to new or subsequent Purchase Payments, transfers or allocations. In addition, we may also liquidate the shares of any Variable Portfolio, substitute the shares of one Underlying Fund held by a Variable Portfolio for another and/or merge Variable Portfolios or cooperate in a merger of Underlying Funds. To the extent required by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, we may be required to obtain SEC approval or your approval.

Fixed Accounts

Fixed Accounts credit a fixed rate of interest that compounds daily for a specific period of time to an annual interest rate that we declare for that for that period of time. More information regarding the features of the Fixed Accounts including (i) its name, (ii) its term, and (iii) its minimum guaranteed interest rates, is available in an

appendix to this prospectus. See APPENDIX A - INVESTMENT OPTIONS AVAILABLE UNDER THE CONTRACT.

Your contract may offer a Fixed Account for a guaranteed period. Your Fixed Account interest crediting rates are guaranteed for amounts allocated to each Fixed Account for up to 1 year. Thereafter, for Fixed Accounts other than Dollar Cost Averaging Fixed Account options (as described below), we will declare annual Fixed Account crediting rates each contract year, and this rate will never be lower than 1%. Factors that influence the declared Fixed Account renewal rate include, but are not limited to, the level of US treasury rates, credit spreads on corporate bonds and other fixed income instruments, company asset-liability matching strategies, the length of the contract withdrawal charge period and the number of years since your annuity contract was issued. You may obtain current interest rates by calling the Annuity Service Center or by speaking with your financial representative.

Please check with your financial representative regarding the availability of a Fixed Account. Allocations to the Fixed Account are obligations of the General Account. In reliance on certain exemptions and exclusions, interests in the General Account are not registered as securities under the Securities Act of 1933 and not registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940. However, the disclosures in the prospectus about the Fixed Accounts are subject to certain provisions of the federal securities laws regarding the accuracy and completeness of disclosures. Please see GENERAL ACCOUNT below.

Minimum Guaranteed Interest Rate

We guarantee that the interest rate credited to amounts allocated to any Fixed Account guarantee periods will never be less than the guaranteed minimum interest rate specified in your contract. Once the rate is established, it will not change for the duration of the guarantee period. The minimum guaranteed interest rate can vary but is never lower than 1%. We determine which, if any, guarantee periods will be offered at any time in our sole discretion, unless state law requires us to do otherwise.

Interest Rate Categories

There are three categories of interest rates for money allocated to the Fixed Accounts. The applicable rate is guaranteed until the corresponding guarantee period expires. With each category of interest rate, your money may be credited a different rate as follows:

•

Initial Rate: The rate credited to any portion of the initial Purchase Payment allocated to a Fixed Account.

•

Current Rate: The rate credited to any portion of a subsequent Purchase Payment allocated to a Fixed Account.

•

Renewal Rate: The rate credited to money transferred from a Fixed Account or a Variable Portfolio into a Fixed Account and to money remaining in a Fixed Account after expiration of a guarantee period.

Fixed Account Restrictions

At any time we are crediting the minimum guaranteed interest rate specified in your contract, we reserve the right to restrict your ability to invest into the Fixed Accounts. All Fixed Accounts may not be available in your state. Please check with your financial representative regarding the availability of Fixed Accounts.

Dollar Cost Averaging Fixed Accounts

Purchase Payments

You may invest initial and/or subsequent Purchase Payments in the dollar cost averaging (“DCA”) Fixed Accounts, if available. The minimum Purchase Payment amounts are as follows:

DCA Fixed Account	Minimum Purchase Payment
6-Month	$600
12-Month	$1,200
2-Year	$2,400

•

The DCA Fixed Accounts only accept initial and subsequent Purchase Payments because they are offered as “source” accounts exclusively to facilitate the DCA Program for a specified time period.

•

You may not make a transfer from a Variable Portfolio or available Fixed Account into a DCA Fixed Account. Please see DOLLAR COST AVERAGING PROGRAM below for more information.

•

Unless otherwise directed by you, any Purchase Payment less than the above minimum amounts will automatically be allocated to available investment options according to your current allocation instructions on file.

DCA Interest Rate Crediting

DCA Fixed Accounts credit a fixed rate of interest and can only be elected to facilitate a DCA Program. Interest is credited to amounts allocated to the DCA Fixed Accounts while your money is transferred to available investment options over certain specified time frames. The interest rates applicable to the DCA Fixed Accounts may differ from those applicable to any other Fixed Account but will never be less than the minimum guaranteed interest rate specified in your contract. The minimum guaranteed interest rate can vary but is never lower than 1%. However, when using a DCA Fixed Account, the annual interest rate is paid on a declining balance as you systematically transfer your money to available investment options. Therefore, the actual effective yield will be less than the stated annual crediting

rate. We reserve the right to change the availability of DCA Fixed Accounts offered, unless state law requires us to do otherwise.

Transfers/Withdrawals from Fixed Accounts

There are no restrictions with respect to transferring out of or taking a withdrawal from a Fixed Account. If you make a transfer out of or a withdrawal from a Fixed Account prior to the end of a guarantee period, you will be credited the interest earned up to the time of transfer or withdrawal. When a guarantee period ends, you may leave your money in the same Fixed Account or you may reallocate your money to another Fixed Account, if available, or to the Variable Portfolios. If you do not want to leave your money in the same Fixed Account, you must contact us within 30 days after the end of the guarantee period and provide us with new allocation instructions. We do not contact you. If you do not contact us, your money will remain in the same Fixed Account where it will earn interest at the renewal rate then in effect for that Fixed Account.

We reserve the right to defer payments for a withdrawal from a Fixed Account for up to six months.

If available through our Dollar Cost Averaging Program, you may systematically transfer interest earned in available Fixed Accounts into any of the Variable Portfolios on a monthly basis. Systematic transfers may be started, changed or terminated at any time by contacting our Annuity Service Center.

Check with your financial representative about the current availability of this service.

Dollar Cost Averaging Program

Under the DCA Program, you systematically transfer a specified dollar amount or percentage of contract value from a Variable Portfolio, available Fixed Account or DCA Fixed Account (“source account”) to any available investment options (“target account”).

The DCA Program allows you to invest gradually in available investment options at no additional cost. The DCA Program is designed to lessen the impact of market fluctuations on your investment. However, the DCA Program can neither guarantee a profit nor protect your investment against a loss. When you elect the DCA Program, you are continuously investing in securities fluctuating at different price levels. You should consider your tolerance for investing through periods of fluctuating price levels.

Example of DCA Program

Assume that you want to move $750 each month from one Variable Portfolio to another Variable Portfolio over six

months. You set up a DCA Program and purchase Accumulation Units at the following values:

Month	Accumulation Unit Value	Units Purchased
1	$7.50	100
2	$5.00	150
3	$10.00	75
4	$7.50	100
5	$5.00	150
6	$7.50	100

You paid an average price of only $6.67 per Accumulation Unit over six months, while the average market price actually was $7.08. By investing an equal amount of money each month, you automatically buy more Accumulation Units when the market price is low and fewer Accumulation Units when the market price is high. This example is for illustrative purposes only.

DCA Program Guidelines

•

Fixed Accounts are not available as target accounts for the DCA Program.

•

Transfers occur on a monthly periodic schedule.

•

The minimum transfer amount under the DCA Program is $100 per transaction, regardless of the source account.

•

Transfers resulting from your participation in the DCA Program are not counted towards the number of free transfers per contract year.

Allocation of Subsequent Purchase Payments to DCA Program

If you have not elected an optional Living Benefit and you choose to allocate subsequent Gross Purchase Payments to an active DCA Program with an available Fixed Account serving as the source account, the rate applicable to that Fixed Account at the time we receive the subsequent Purchase Payment will apply. Further, we will begin transferring subsequent Purchase Payments into your target account allocations on the same day of the month as the initial active DCA Program. Therefore, you may not receive a full 30 days of interest prior to the first transfer to the target account(s). Please see DOLLAR COST AVERAGING FIXED ACCOUNTS above for more information.

Termination of DCA Program

You may terminate the DCA Program at any time. If you terminate the DCA Program and money remains in the DCA Fixed Account(s), we transfer the remaining money according to your current allocation instructions on file.

Upon notification of your death, we will terminate the DCA Program and transfer the remaining money according to the current allocation instructions on file.

Automatic Asset Rebalancing Program

Market fluctuations may cause the percentage of your investment in the Variable Portfolios to differ from your original allocations. Automatic Asset Rebalancing typically involves shifting portions of your money into and out of investment options so that the resulting allocations are consistent with your current investment instructions.

Under the Automatic Asset Rebalancing Program:

•

You may elect to have your investments in the Variable Portfolios and/or Fixed Accounts, if available, periodically rebalanced to return your allocations to preselected percentages for no additional charge.

•

At your request, rebalancing occurs on a quarterly, semiannual or annual basis.

•

Transfers resulting from your participation in this program are not counted against the number of free transfers per contract year.

Changes to Rebalancing Instructions

If you make a transfer, you must provide updated rebalancing instructions. If you do not provide new rebalancing instructions at the time you make such transfer, we will change your ongoing rebalancing instructions to reflect the percentage allocations among the new Variable Portfolios and/or Fixed Accounts, if available, resulting from your transfer which will replace any previous rebalancing instructions you may have provided (“Default Rebalancing Instructions”). You may change any applicable Default Rebalancing Instructions at any time by contacting the Annuity Service Center. If we cannot complete automatic rebalancing according to your current instructions due to Variable Portfolio changes, we reserve the right to allocate the applicable amounts that would have been transferred to the impacted Variable Portfolio(s) to a money market option available under the contract.

Upon notification of your death, we will terminate the Automatic Asset Rebalancing Program.

Mandatory Rebalancing with Election of a Living Benefit

If you elect an optional Living Benefit, we will automatically enroll you in the Automatic Asset Rebalancing Program with quarterly rebalancing. If at any point, for any reason, your rebalancing instructions would result in allocations inconsistent with the investment requirements, we will revert to the last compliant instructions on file and we will notify you of such reversion. If we cannot complete automatic rebalancing according to your current instructions due to Variable Portfolio changes (including closures, substitutions, or mergers), we reserve the right to allocate the applicable amounts that would have been transferred to the impacted Variable Portfolio(s) to a money market option available under the contract. Please see OPTIONAL LIVING BENEFITS below.

Automatic asset rebalancing will continue if it is a requirement of an optional Living Benefit that remains in effect pursuant to your Spousal Beneficiary’s election of Spousal Continuation.

We reserve the right to modify, suspend or terminate the Automatic Asset Rebalancing Program at any time and we will notify you 30 days prior to exercising that right. In the event of modification, we will administer the program according to the parameters of the modification. In the event of suspension or termination of the program, we will no longer administer the program and your investments will no longer be rebalanced.

Transfers During the Accumulation Phase

Subject to the Company’s rules, restrictions and policies (including short term trading policies) described below, you may transfer funds between the Variable Portfolios and/or any available Fixed Accounts.

•

Funds already in your contract cannot be transferred into the DCA Fixed Accounts, if available.

•

You must transfer at least $100 per transfer.

•

If less than $100 remains in any Variable Portfolio or Fixed Account after a transfer, that amount must be transferred as well.

Submitting Transfer Instructions

Your transfer instructions must be received via one of the methods and locations referenced below; otherwise they will not be considered received by us. Please see SHORT-TERM TRADING POLICIES below for more information.

Transfer Fees

There is no charge for your first 15 transfers in any contract year. We charge for transfers in excess of 15 in any contract year. The fee is $25 for each transfer exceeding this limit. Transfers resulting from your participation in the DCA or Automatic Asset Rebalancing Programs are not counted towards the number of free transfers per contract year.

Please see APPENDIX C - STATE CONTRACT AVAILABILITY AND/OR VARIABILITY for state-specific fees.

Accepting Transfer Requests

We cannot guarantee that we will be able to accept telephone, fax and/or internet transfer instructions at all times. Any telephone, fax or computer system, whether it is yours, your broker-dealer’s, or ours, can experience outages or delays for a variety of reasons and may prevent our processing of your transfer request. If telephone, fax and/or internet access is unavailable, you must make your transfer request in writing by U.S. Mail to our Annuity Service Center at the address above.

We reserve the right to modify, suspend or terminate telephone, fax and/or internet transfer privileges at any time and we will notify you prior to exercising the right of suspension.

Pricing Transfer Requests

Any transfer request will be priced as of the day it is received by us in Good Order if the request is received before Market Close. If the transfer request is received after Market Close, the request will be priced as of the next NYSE business day.

Short-Term Trading Policies

This variable annuity contract is not designed to support frequent trading or trading strategies that seek to benefit from short-term price fluctuations or price inefficiencies in the Variable Portfolios of this product (“Short-Term Trading”) and we discourage Short-Term Trading as more fully described below.

Risks of Short-Term Trading

Short-Term Trading may create risks that may result in adverse effects on the investment return of the Underlying Fund in which a Variable Portfolio invests. Such risks may include, but are not limited to: (1) interference with the management and planned investment strategies of an Underlying Fund; (2) dilution of the interests in the Underlying Fund due to practices such as “arbitrage”; and/or (3) increased brokerage and administrative costs due to forced and unplanned fund turnover. These circumstances may reduce the value of the Variable

Portfolio. In addition to negatively impacting the Owner, a reduction in contract value may also be harmful to Annuitants and/or Beneficiaries.

We have adopted the following administrative procedures to discourage Short-Term Trading which are summarized below.

Standard U.S. Mail Policy

Under the Standard U.S. Mail Policy, all transfers must be submitted by U.S. Mail for 12-months. The 15th transfer in a 12-month look-back period (“12-Month Rolling Period”) triggers the Standard U.S. Mail Policy.

Transfer Requests under the U.S. Mail Policy

•

While the U.S. Mail Policy is in effect, we will not accept transfer requests sent by any other method except U.S. Mail.

•

Transfer requests required to be submitted by U.S. Mail can only be cancelled by a written request sent by U.S. Mail with the appropriate paperwork received prior to the execution of the transfer.

•

All transfers made on the same day prior to Market Close are considered one transfer request for purposes of applying the Short-Term Trading policy and calculating the number of free transfers.

•

Transfers resulting from your participation in the DCA or Automatic Asset Rebalancing Programs are not included for the purposes of determining the number of transfers before applying the Standard U.S. Mail Policy.

•

We apply the Standard U.S. Mail Policy uniformly and consistently to all contract Owners except for omnibus group contracts. See Omnibus Group Contracts below for more information.

Example

For example, if you made a transfer on August 21, 2026 and within the previous twelve months (from August 22, 2025 forward) you made 15 transfers including the August 21st transfer, then all transfers made for twelve months after August 21, 2026 must be submitted by U.S. Mail (from August 22, 2026 through August 21, 2027).

Accelerated U.S. Mail Policy

We may become aware of transfer patterns among the Variable Portfolios and/or Fixed Accounts which appear to be Short-Term Trading or otherwise detrimental to the Variable Portfolios but have not yet triggered the Standard U.S. Mail Policy described above. If such transfer activity comes to our attention, we may require you to adhere to our Standard U.S. Mail Policy prior to reaching the specified number of transfers.

Additional Short-Term Trading Restrictions

To the extent we become aware of Short-Term Trading activities which cannot be reasonably controlled solely by the Standard U.S. Mail Policy or the Accelerated U.S. Mail Policy, we reserve the right to evaluate, in our sole discretion, whether to:

impose further limits on the size, manner, number and/or frequency of transfers you can make;

impose minimum holding periods;

reject any Purchase Payment or transfer request;

terminate your transfer privileges; and/or

request that you surrender your contract.

We will notify you in writing if your transfer privileges are modified, suspended or terminated. In addition, we reserve the right not to accept or otherwise restrict transfers from a third party acting for you and not to accept pre-authorized transfer forms.

Enforcement Determination Factors

Some of the factors we may consider when determining whether to accelerate the Standard U.S. Mail Policy, reject transfers or impose other conditions on transfer privileges include:

•

the number of transfers made in a defined period;

•

the dollar amount of the transfer;

•

the total assets of the Variable Portfolio involved in the transfer and/or transfer requests that represent a significant portion of the total assets of the Variable Portfolio;

•

the investment objectives and/or asset classes of the particular Variable Portfolio involved in your transfers;

•

whether the transfer appears to be part of a pattern of transfers to take advantage of short-term market fluctuations or market inefficiencies;

•

the history of transfer activity in the contract or in other contracts we may offer; and/or

•

other activity, as determined by us, that creates an appearance, real or perceived, of Short-Term Trading or the possibility of Short-Term Trading.

Applicability to Third Party Trading Services

The Standard and Accelerated U.S. Mail Policies are applied uniformly and consistently to contract Owners utilizing third party trading services/strategies performing asset allocation services for a number of contract Owners at the same time. You should be aware that such third party trading services may engage in transfer activities that can also be detrimental to the Variable Portfolios, including trading relatively large groups of contracts simultaneously. These transfer activities may not be intended to take advantage of short-term price fluctuations or price inefficiencies. However,

such activities can create the same or similar risks as Short-Term Trading and negatively impact the Variable Portfolios as described above.

Deterrence Limitations

Notwithstanding the administrative procedures above, there are limitations on the effectiveness of these procedures. Our ability to detect and/or deter Short-Term Trading is limited by operational systems and technological limitations, as well as our ability to predict strategies employed by contract Owners (or those acting on their behalf) to avoid detection. We cannot guarantee that we will detect and/or deter all Short-Term Trading and it is likely that some level of Short-Term Trading will occur before it is detected and steps are taken to deter it. To the extent that we are unable to detect and/or deter Short-Term Trading, the Variable Portfolios may be negatively impacted as described above.

Additionally, the Variable Portfolios may be harmed by transfer activity related to other insurance companies and/or retirement plans or other investors that invest in shares of the Underlying Fund. Moreover, our ability to deter Short-Term Trading may be limited by decisions by state regulatory bodies and court orders which we cannot predict.

You should be aware that the design of our administrative procedures involves inherently subjective decisions which we attempt to make in a fair and reasonable manner consistent with the interests of all Owners of this contract. We do not enter into agreements with contract Owners whereby we permit or intentionally disregard Short-Term Trading.

Omnibus Group Contracts

Omnibus group contracts may invest in the same Underlying Funds available in your contract but on an aggregate, not individual basis. Thus, we have limited ability to detect Short-Term Trading in omnibus group contracts and the Standard U.S. Mail Policy does not apply to these contracts. Our inability to detect Short-Term Trading may negatively impact the Variable Portfolios as described above.

We reserve the right to modify the policies and procedures described in the TRANSFERS DURING THE ACCUMULATION PHASE section at any time. To the extent that we exercise this reservation of rights, we will do so uniformly and consistently unless we disclose otherwise.

Underlying Funds’ Short-Term Trading Policies

Please note that the Underlying Funds have their own policies and procedures (outlined in their respective prospectus) with respect to frequent purchases and redemptions of their respective shares which may be more or less restrictive than ours.

•

We reserve the right to enforce these Underlying Fund policies and procedures, including, but not limited to, the right to collect a redemption fee on shares of the Underlying Fund if imposed by such

Underlying Fund’s Board of Trustees/Directors. As of the date of this prospectus, none of the Underlying Funds impose a redemption fee.

•

We also reserve the right to reject, with or without prior notice, any purchase, transfer or allocation into a Variable Portfolio if the corresponding Underlying Fund will not accept such purchase, transfer or allocation for any reason.

We are obligated to execute instructions from the Underlying Funds to restrict or prohibit further purchases or transfers in an Underlying Fund under certain circumstances.

Processing Omnibus Orders

Many investments in the Underlying Funds outside of these contracts are omnibus orders from intermediaries such as other separate accounts or retirement plans. If an Underlying Fund’s policies and procedures fail to successfully detect and discourage Short-Term Trading, there may be a negative impact to the Owners of the Underlying Fund. If an Underlying Fund believes that an omnibus order we submit may reflect transfer requests from Owners engaged in Short-Term Trading, the Underlying Fund may reject the entire omnibus order and delay or prevent us from implementing your transfer request.

Required Information Sharing

Under rules adopted by the SEC, we also have written agreements with the Underlying Funds that obligate us to, among other things, provide the Underlying Funds promptly upon request certain information about you (e.g., your social security number) and your trading activity.

Transfers During the Income Phase

During the Income Phase, only one transfer per month is permitted between the Variable Portfolios. No other transfers are allowed during the Income Phase. Transfers will be effected for the last NYSE business day of the month in which we receive your request for the transfer.

You may not use the DCA Program or the Automatic Asset Rebalancing Program during the Income Phase.

Voting Rights

The Company is the legal owner of the Trusts’ shares. However, when an Underlying Fund solicits proxies in conjunction with a shareholder vote, we must obtain your instructions on how to vote those shares. We vote all of the shares we own in proportion to your instructions. This includes any shares we own on our own behalf. As a result of this proportionate voting, the vote of a small number of contract Owners can determine the outcome of a vote. Should we determine that we are no longer required to vote in the manner described above, we will vote the shares in our own right.

Access to your Money

You can access money in your contract in one of the following ways:

•

Partial Withdrawal;

•

Systematic Withdrawal;

•

Total Withdrawal (also known as surrender); or

•

Annuity Income Payment (during Income Phase).

Withdrawals made prior to age 59½ may result in a 10% IRS penalty tax. Certain Qualified plans restrict and/or prohibit your ability to withdraw money from your contract. Please see TAXES.

Minimum Withdrawal Amount and Minimum Contract Value

	Minimum Withdrawal Amount	Minimum Contract Value(1)
Partial Withdrawal	$1,000	$500 (2)
Systematic Withdrawal	$250	$500(2)

(1)

The value left in any Variable Portfolio or available Fixed Account must be at least $100 after a withdrawal.

(2)

The total contract value must be at least $500 after a withdrawal.

Where permitted by state law, we may terminate your contract if both of the following occur: (1) your contract value is less than $500 as a result of withdrawals; and (2) you have not made any Purchase Payments during the past three years. We will provide you with sixty days written notice that your contract is being terminated. At the end of the notice period, we will distribute the contract’s remaining value to you.

A withdrawal charge of 0.50% only applies to Gross Purchase Payment(s) that qualify for the $1,000,000 or more Investment Amount level if the Gross Purchase Payment(s) are invested less than 12 months at the time of withdrawal. Please see FEE TABLE above.

Processing Withdrawal Requests

A request to access money from your contract, as outlined above, must be submitted in writing and in Good Order to the Annuity Service Center at the following address. Withdrawals are processed effective the date they are deemed in Good Order and payments are made within 7 business days. For withdrawals of $500,000 and more, you are required to include a signature guarantee issued by your broker-dealer which verifies the validity of your signature.

Annuity Service Center

P.O. Box 15570

Amarillo, TX 79105-5570

Any request for withdrawal will be priced as of the day it is received by us in Good Order at the Annuity Service Center, if the request is received before Market Close. If the request for withdrawal is received after Market Close, the request

will be priced as of the next NYSE business day. Withdrawals are processed effective the date they are deemed in Good Order and payments are made within 7 days.

We may be required to suspend or postpone the payment of a withdrawal for any period of time when: (1) the NYSE is closed (other than a customary weekend and holiday closings); (2) trading with the NYSE is restricted; (3) an emergency exists such that disposal of or determination of the value of shares of the Variable Portfolios is not reasonably practicable; (4) the SEC, by order, so permits for the protection of contract Owners.

Additionally, we reserve the right to defer payments for a withdrawal from a Fixed Account for up to six months.

Partial, Systematic, and Required Minimum Distributions

Partial withdrawals, systematic withdrawals and required minimum distributions will be made proportionately from each Variable Portfolio and the Fixed Account in which you are invested, unless you provide different instructions.

If you surrender your contract, we may deduct any premium taxes, if applicable. Please see EXPENSES.

Systematic Withdrawal Program

During the Accumulation Phase, you may elect to receive periodic withdrawals under the Systematic Withdrawal Program for no additional charge. Under the program, you may choose to take monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual payments from your contract. Electronic transfer of these periodic withdrawals to your bank account is available. Please contact our Annuity Service Center which can provide the necessary enrollment forms.

If you elect a living benefit and choose to receive periodic withdrawals under the Systematic Withdrawal Program, you must request withdrawals on the appropriate living benefit enrollment form. If we receive your request on another form, your request will not be processed. The Systematic Withdrawal Program for contracts with a living benefit is designed to provide withdrawal amounts within the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount. Any amounts taken above your Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount while enrolled in the Systematic Withdrawal Program will eliminate the remaining systematic withdrawal(s) within the same contract year and may permanently reduce future guaranteed withdrawal amounts. The systematic withdrawal program will be re-established in the following contract year after such withdrawals, and the annualized systematic withdrawals will be adjusted to account for the new Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount. If you must take Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) from this contract and want to ensure that these withdrawals will not permanently reduce future guaranteed withdrawal amounts, your total distribution(s) during the current contract year must not exceed the greater of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount under the Living Benefit or the RMD amount as calculated by our

Annuity Service Center. You may establish a systematic withdrawal program to take your RMD, which will ensure the amount taken does not exceed either the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount under the Living Benefit or RMD amount as calculated by our Annuity Service Center.

Upon notification of your death, we will terminate the Systematic Withdrawal Program unless your Beneficiary instructs us otherwise.

We reserve the right to modify, suspend or terminate the Systematic Withdrawal Program at any time and we will notify you prior to exercising that right.

Optional Living Benefits

None of the living benefits described below are available for election.

Effective January 15, 2016, if you have elected the following living benefit features:

•

MarketLock Income Plus or MarketLock For Life Plus, we will not accept subsequent Gross Purchase Payments on or after the 5th contract anniversary from your contract issue date.

•

MarketLock, we will not accept subsequent Gross Purchase Payments on or after the 2nd contract anniversary from your contract issue date.

If you elected a living benefit feature, you may not establish an automatic subsequent purchase payment plan, and any current payment plan has been terminated.

MarketLock Income Plus

What is MarketLock Income Plus?

MarketLock Income Plus is an optional guaranteed minimum withdrawal feature. The feature is designed to help you create a guaranteed income stream that will last as long as you live, or as long as you and your spouse live, even if the entire value of your contract has been reduced to zero, provided withdrawals taken are within the parameters of the feature. MarketLock Income Plus may offer protection in the event your contract value declines due to unfavorable investment performance, certain withdrawal activity, if you live longer than expected or any combination of these factors. You may never need to rely on MarketLock Income Plus as its value is dependent on your contract’s performance, your withdrawal activity and your longevity.

This feature may not be appropriate if you plan to make ongoing Gross Purchase Payments, such as with contributory IRA’s or other tax-qualified plans. The feature guarantees that only certain Gross Purchase Payments received during the contract’s first five years are included in the Income Base.

Please remember that all withdrawals, including withdrawals taken under this feature, reduce your contract value and your death benefit and may reduce other benefits under the contract.

In addition, any withdrawals taken may be subject to a 10% IRS tax penalty if you are under age 59 ½ at the time of the withdrawal. For information about how the feature is treated for income tax purposes, you should consult a qualified tax advisor concerning your particular circumstances. If you must take required minimum distributions and want to ensure that these withdrawals are not considered excess withdrawals under the feature, your distributions must be set up on the automated monthly minimum distribution withdrawal program administered by

our Annuity Service Center. In addition, if you have a Qualified contract, tax law and the terms of the plan may restrict withdrawal amounts.

We reserve the right to modify, suspend or terminate MarketLock Income Plus at any time for prospectively issued contracts. We also reserve the right to modify MarketLock Income Plus at time of extension for existing contracts.

When and how may I elect MarketLock Income Plus?

You may have elected MarketLock Income Plus at the time of contract issue. You may have elected to have the feature cover only your life or the lives of both you and your spouse. We refer to the person or persons whose lifetime withdrawals are guaranteed under MarketLock Income Plus as the “Covered Person(s).” If the contract is not owned by a natural person, references to Owner(s) apply to the Annuitant(s). To elect this feature, Covered Persons must have met the age requirement. The age requirement varies depending on the type of contract you purchased and the number of Covered Persons. The tables below provide the age requirement for this feature.

If you elected one Covered Person:

	Covered Person
	Minimum Age	Maximum Age(1)
One Owner	45	80
Joint Owners (based on the age of the older Owner)	45	80

If you elected two Covered Persons:

	Covered Person #1		Covered Person #2
	Minimum Age	Maximum Age(1)	Minimum Age	Maximum Age(1)
Non-Qualified: Joint Owners	45	80	45	85
Non-Qualified: One Owner with Spousal Beneficiary	45	80	45	N/A(2)
Qualified: One Owner with Spousal Beneficiary	45	80	45	N/A(2)

(1) The age requirements for optional death benefits and other optional features may be different than those listed here. You must meet the age requirement for those features in order to elect them.

(2) The age requirement is based solely on the single owner for purposes of issuing the contract with the feature.

How does MarketLock Income Plus work?

MarketLock Income Plus locks-in the greater of two values in determining the Income Base, defined below. The Income Base determines the basis of the Covered Person(s)’ guaranteed lifetime benefit which may be taken in a series of withdrawals. Each consecutive one-year period starting from the Effective Date is considered a Benefit Year. A new Income Base is automatically locked-in each year on each Benefit Year anniversary during the first 5 Benefit Years

following the Effective Date based on the greater of either (1) the highest Anniversary Value, or (2) the Income Base increased by any available Income Credit. MarketLock Income Plus is designed for individuals or spousal joint owners. Thus, if a contract is owned by non-spousal joint owners and either owner dies, the full contract value must be paid within 5 years of death, after which time the contract terminates; the surviving owner may not receive the benefit of MarketLock Income Plus.

You may elect to extend both the Income Base Evaluation Period and the Income Credit Period over which the feature locks-in either the highest Anniversary Value or Income Base plus any Income Credit for two additional five year periods provided that you are age 85 or younger at the time of each extension (“First Extension and Second Extension”). After election of the First Extension and the Second Extension, you may elect to extend only the Income Base Evaluation Period over which the feature locks-in the highest Anniversary Value (“Subsequent Extension(s)”) provided that you are age 85 or younger at the time of each Subsequent Extension. As a result, the Income Credit Period is not available for Subsequent Extensions.

New fees and other conditions may apply upon extension. We guarantee that the current fee, as reflected in the Fee Table below, will not increase by more than 0.25% at the time of First Extension. If you elect extensions, you must contact us in writing before the end of each Evaluation Period. Please see “Can I extend the Income Base Evaluation Period and Income Credit Period beyond 5 years?” below.

Is there an additional guarantee if I do not take withdrawals for 10 years?

Yes, if you do not take any withdrawals before the 10th Benefit Year anniversary. On the 10th Benefit Year anniversary following the Effective Date, the Income Base, and if applicable, the Income Credit Base, are eligible to be increased to equal at least 200% of your first Benefit Year’s Eligible Purchase Payments (“Minimum Income Base”), if you elect the feature at contract issue. If you elect the feature after contract issue, the Minimum Income Base is equal to 200% of the contract value as of the Effective Date. You do not need to elect extensions in order to be eligible to receive the Minimum Income Base.

What determines the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Percentage?

The Maximum Annual Withdrawal Percentage represents the percentage of your Income Base used to calculate the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount that you may withdraw each year. The Maximum Annual Withdrawal Percentage is determined by the age of the Covered Person(s) at the time of the first withdrawal as shown in the tables below.

One Covered Person

If the feature is elected to cover one life but the contract is jointly owned, then the Covered Person must be the older Owner and the following is applicable:

Age of the Covered Person at Time of First Withdrawal	Maximum Annual Withdrawal Percentage
Prior to 62nd Birthday	4% of Income Base
On or after 62nd Birthday	5% of Income Base

Two Covered Persons

If the feature is elected to cover two lives, the following is applicable:

Age of the Younger Covered Person or Surviving Covered Person at Time of First Withdrawal	Maximum Annual Withdrawal Percentage
Prior to 62nd Birthday	4% of Income Base
On or after 62nd Birthday	5% of Income Base

If you are taking required minimum distributions (“RMD”) from this contract, and the amount of the RMD (based only on this contract) is greater than the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount in any given Benefit Year, no portion of the RMD will be treated as an Excess Withdrawal (defined below). Any portion of a withdrawal in a Benefit Year that is more than the greater of both the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount and the RMD amount (based only on this contract) will be considered an Excess Withdrawal. Please see “What are the effects of withdrawals on MarketLock Income Plus?” below.

Are there investment requirements if I elect MarketLock Income Plus?

As long as the feature is in effect, we require that you allocate your investments in accordance with the investment requirements. Please see Investment Requirements for Optional Living Benefits in APPENDIX A - INVESTMENT OPTIONS AVAILABLE UNDER THE CONTRACT for investment requirements associated with this optional Living Benefit.

If we offer additional allocations that comply with investment requirements in the future, we will give you the opportunity to allocate your investments accordingly.

Your allocation instructions accompanying any Gross Purchase Payment must comply with the investment requirements, described above, in order for your application or subsequent Gross Purchase Payment(s) to be considered in Good Order. Please see ALLOCATION OF PURCHASE PAYMENTS above. We will automatically enroll you in the Automatic Asset Rebalancing Program with quarterly rebalancing. We require quarterly rebalancing because market performance and transfer and withdrawal activity may result in your contract’s allocations going outside these restrictions. Quarterly rebalancing will ensure that your allocations will continue to comply with the investment requirements for this feature. In addition to quarterly rebalancing, we will initiate rebalancing in

accordance with your Automatic Asset Rebalancing instructions, after any of the following transactions:

•

any transfer or reallocation you initiate; or

•

any withdrawal you initiate.

Automatic transfers and/or systematic withdrawals will not result in rebalancing. We will rebalance your contract in accordance with your most current and compliant Automatic Asset Rebalancing Program instructions on file. If at any point, for any reason, your Automatic Asset Rebalancing Program instructions would result in allocations inconsistent with the investment requirements listed above, we will revert to the last compliant instructions on file whether for rebalancing or for allocation of a Purchase Payment; we will implement the last compliant instructions at the next rebalancing. Please see AUTOMATIC ASSET REBALANCING PROGRAM above. You can modify your Automatic Asset Rebalancing Program instructions, as long as they are consistent with the investment requirements, at any time by calling the Annuity Service Center. If we cannot complete automatic rebalancing according to your current instructions due to Variable Portfolio changes (including closures, substitutions, or mergers), we reserve the right to allocate the applicable amounts that would have been transferred to the impacted Variable Portfolio(s) to a money market option available under the contract.

We reserve the right to change the investment requirements at any time for prospectively issued contracts. We may also revise the investment requirements for any existing contract to the extent that Variable Portfolios are added, deleted, substituted, merged or otherwise reorganized. We will notify you of any changes to the investment requirements due to deletions, substitutions, mergers or reorganizations at least 30 days in advance.

How are the components for MarketLock Income Plus calculated?

First, we determine the Eligible Purchase Payments, which include:

100% of Gross Purchase Payments received during the first contract year; and

Gross Purchase Payments received in each of contract years 2-5, capped in each year at an amount equal to 100% of the Gross Purchase Payments received in year 1. This means that if you made a $100,000 Gross Purchase Payment in year 1, Eligible Purchase Payments will include additional Gross Purchase Payments of up to $100,000 contributed in each of contract years 2-5 for a grand total maximum of $500,000 of Eligible Purchase Payments. If the feature is elected after contract issue, Gross Purchase Payments received from the Effective Date through contract year 5 are capped in each year at an amount equal to 100% of the Gross

Purchase Payments received during the first contract year. We will not accept subsequent Gross Purchase Payments after the 5th contract year.

Any Gross Purchase Payments made in contract years 2-5 in excess of the annual cap amount as well as all Gross Purchase Payments received after the 5th contract year are considered Ineligible Purchase Payments. We will not accept subsequent Gross Purchase Payments after the 5th contract year. The calculation of Eligible Purchase Payments does not include any spousal continuation contributions; however, continuation contributions are included in the calculation of Anniversary Values, as defined below. Please see SPOUSAL CONTINUATION below. Total Eligible Purchase Payments are limited to $1,500,000 without our prior Company approval.

Second, we consider the Income Credit Period and the Income Base Evaluation Period. The Income Credit Period is the period of time over which we calculate the Income Credit. The Income Base Evaluation Period is the period of time over which we consider Anniversary Values and if applicable and greater, the Income Base plus any available Income Credit. The initial Income Credit Period and the initial Income Base Evaluation Period begin on the Effective Date and end 5 years later. You may elect to extend both the Income Base Evaluation Period and the Income Credit Period at the end of the initial Income Base Evaluation Period and initial Income Credit Period, and after election of the First Extension, you may elect a Second Extension. Subsequent Extensions apply to only the Income Base Evaluation Period. Please see “Can I extend the Income Base Evaluation Period and Income Credit Period beyond 5 years?” below.

Third, we determine the Anniversary Value which equals your contract value on any contract anniversary during the Income Base Evaluation Period minus any Ineligible Purchase Payments.

Fourth, we determine the Income Base which initially is equal to the first Eligible Purchase Payment. If the feature is elected after contract issue, the initial Income Base is the contract value on the Effective Date. In each subsequent Benefit Year, the Income Base equals the Income Base at the beginning of the Benefit Year plus any subsequent Eligible Purchase Payments made during that Benefit Year, less proportionate adjustments for Excess Withdrawals that occurred during that Benefit Year. On each Benefit Year anniversary, we determine if the Income Base should be increased based on the maximum Anniversary Value or any available Income Credit as defined below. Please see “How can the Income Base and Income Credit Base be increased?” and “What are the effects of withdrawals on MarketLock Income Plus?” below.

Fifth, we determine the Income Credit Base which is used solely as a basis for calculating the Income Credit during an Income Credit Period. The initial Income Credit Base is equal to the first Eligible Purchase Payment. If the feature

is elected after contract issue, the initial Income Credit Base is the contract value on the Effective Date. Please see “How can the Income Base and Income Credit Base be increased?” below.

Sixth, we determine the Income Credit which is an amount equal to 7% (“Income Credit Percentage”) of the Income Credit Base, on each Benefit Year anniversary. If you take withdrawals in a Benefit Year that are less than or equal to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount, the Income Credit Percentage on the Benefit Year anniversary is reduced by a percentage calculated as the sum of all withdrawals taken during the preceding Benefit Year, divided by the Income Base, prior to the determining the Income Base for the next Benefit Year. If you take a withdrawal that is greater than the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount in the preceding Benefit Year, the Income Credit is equal to zero.

Finally, we determine the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount, which represents the maximum amount that may be withdrawn each Benefit Year following the Effective Date without reducing the Income Base, and if applicable, the Income Credit Base. The Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount is calculated by multiplying the Income Base by the applicable Maximum Annual Withdrawal Percentage shown in the tables above. Please see “How do increases and decreases in the Income Base impact the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount?” below.

How can the Income Base and Income Credit Base be increased?

On each Benefit Year anniversary during an Income Base Evaluation Period, we determine if the Income Base should be increased based on the maximum Anniversary Value or any available Income Credit.

The maximum Anniversary Value equals the highest Anniversary Value on any Benefit Year anniversary occurring during an Income Base Evaluation Period. On each Benefit Year anniversary during an Income Base Evaluation Period, the Income Base is automatically increased to the Anniversary Value when the Anniversary Value is greater than (a), (b), and (c), where:

(a)

is the cumulative Eligible Purchase Payments; and

(b)

is the current Income Base, increased by the Income Credit, if any; and

(c)

is all previous Anniversary Values during any Income Base Evaluation Period.

On each Benefit Year anniversary during the Income Credit Period, we determine the amount to which the Income Credit Base and/or the Income Base could increase. The components used to determine this amount are:

(a)

the Income Base calculated based on the maximum Anniversary Value; and

(b)

the current Income Base plus the Income Credit.

If (a) is greater than (b), the Income Credit Base and the Income Base are increased to the current Anniversary Value. If (b) is greater than (a), the Income Base is increased by the Income Credit and the Income Credit Base remains unchanged.

Increases to your Income Base and Income Credit Base occur on Benefit Year anniversaries as described above. However, Eligible Purchase Payments increase your Income Base and Income Credit Base at the time they are received. Your Income Base and Income Credit Base will not increase even if your contract value on days other than the Benefit Year anniversary was greater than your Income Base on the Benefit Year anniversary.

In addition, the Income Base, and if applicable, the Income Credit Base, can also be increased to at least the Minimum Income Base on the 10th Benefit Year anniversary, provided no withdrawals are taken prior to that anniversary. If you are eligible for the Minimum Income Base, the Income Base on the 10th Benefit Year anniversary is the greatest of (a), (b) and (c), where:

(a)

is the current Income Base, calculated based on the maximum Anniversary Value; and

(b)

is the current Income Base plus the Income Credit if applicable; and

(c)

is the Minimum Income Base.

On your 10th Benefit Year anniversary, if you are eligible for the Minimum Income Base and if the First Extension is elected, the Income Credit Base is the greatest of (a), (b) and (c), where:

(a)

is the Income Base calculated based on the maximum Anniversary Value; and

(b)

is the current Income Credit Base; and

(c)

is the Minimum Income Base.

How do increases and decreases in the Income Base Impact the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount?

Increases in the Income Base

In any Benefit Year where Eligible Purchase Payments are allocated to your contract, any remaining withdrawals of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount will be based on the increased Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount reduced by withdrawals previously taken in that Benefit Year. If the Income Base is increased on a Benefit Year anniversary, the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount will be recalculated on that Benefit Year anniversary by multiplying the increased Income Base by the applicable Maximum Annual Withdrawal Percentage.

Decreases in the Income Base

Excess Withdrawals reduce Your Income Base on the date the Excess Withdrawal occurs. Any Excess Withdrawal in a Benefit Year reduces the Income Base in the same proportion by which the contract value is reduced by the

Excess Withdrawal. Please see “What are the effects of withdrawals on MarketLock Income Plus?” below. As a result of a reduction of the Income Base, the new Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount will be equal to the reduced Income Base multiplied by the applicable Maximum Annual Withdrawal Percentage. The last recalculated Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount in a given Benefit Year is available for withdrawal at the beginning of the next Benefit Year and may be lower than your previously calculated Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount. When the contract value is less than or equal to the Income Base, Excess Withdrawals will reduce the Income Base by an amount which is greater than the amount of the Excess Withdrawal. In addition, no Income Credit will be added to the Income Base in that Benefit Year.

What are the effects of withdrawals on MarketLock Income Plus?

The Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount, the Income Base and Income Credit Base may change over time as a result of the timing and amount of withdrawals. If you take a withdrawal before the 10th Benefit Year Anniversary, your Income Base, and if applicable, the Income Credit Base, are not eligible to be increased to the Minimum Income Base.

You may take withdrawals during a contract year that in total are less than or equal to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount which will not reduce the Income Base or Income Credit Base. However, if you choose to take less than the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount in any contract year, you may not carry over the unused amount into subsequent years. Your Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount will not be recalculated solely as a result of taking less than the entire Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount in any given year.

Withdrawals in excess of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount are considered Excess Withdrawals. We define Excess Withdrawals as any portion of a withdrawal that causes the total withdrawals in a Benefit Year to exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount, including but not limited to any withdrawal in a contract year taken after the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount has been withdrawn. You should not elect this feature if you plan to take Excess Withdrawals since those withdrawals may significantly reduce or eliminate the value of the feature.

The impact of withdrawals and the effect on certain components of MarketLock Income Plus are further explained below:

Income Base and Income Credit Base: If the sum of withdrawals in any Benefit Year exceeds the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount, the Income Base and Income Credit Base will be reduced for those withdrawals. For each Excess Withdrawal taken, the Income Base and Income Credit Base are reduced in the same proportion by which the contract value is reduced by each Excess Withdrawal.

Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount: The Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount is recalculated each time there is a change in the Income Base. Accordingly, if the sum of withdrawals in any contract year does not exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount for that year, the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount will not change for the next year unless your Income Base is increased (as described above under “How are the components for MarketLock Income Plus calculated?”). If you take an Excess Withdrawal, the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount will be recalculated by multiplying the reduced Income Base by the existing Maximum Annual Withdrawal Percentage. This recalculated Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount is available for withdrawal at the beginning of the next Benefit Year and may be lower than your previous Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount.

Please remember that all withdrawals, including withdrawals taken under this feature, reduce your contract value and your death benefit and may reduce other benefits under the contract. Please see ACCESS TO YOUR MONEY above and EXPENSES below.

What is the fee for MarketLock Income Plus?

The fee for MarketLock Income Plus depends on whether you elect to cover one life or two lives, as follows:

Number of Covered Persons	Annualized Fee
For One Covered Person	0.85% of Income Base
For Two Covered Persons	1.10% of Income Base

The fee will be calculated as a percentage of the Income Base and deducted quarterly from your contract value starting on the first quarter following the Effective Date and ending upon termination of the feature. Once you elect this feature, you will be assessed a non-refundable fee regardless of whether or not you take any withdrawals and/or receive any lifetime income payments under this feature.

An increase in the Income Base due to an adjustment to a higher Anniversary Value, addition of an Income Credit, or subsequent Eligible Purchase Payments will result in an increase to the dollar amount of the fee.

If your contract value falls to zero before the feature has been terminated, the fee will no longer be deducted. We will not assess the quarterly fee if you annuitize your contract or if a death benefit is paid before the end of a contract quarter. If the feature is still in effect and you surrender your contract, we will assess a pro-rata charge for the fee if you surrender your contract before the end of a contract quarter. The pro-rata charge is calculated by multiplying the full quarterly fee by the number of days between the date the fee was last assessed and the date of surrender divided by the number of days in that contract quarter.

New fees and conditions may apply upon extension of the Income Base Evaluation Period and Income Credit Period.

We guarantee that the current fee, as reflected above, will not increase by more than 0.25% at time of First Extension.

Can I extend the Income Base Evaluation Period and Income Credit Period beyond 5 years?

Yes, after the initial Income Base Evaluation Period and initial Income Credit Period you may elect to extend both the Income Base Evaluation Period and Income Credit Period for two additional 5 year periods, as long as the feature is still in effect, and the age of the Covered Person or younger of two Covered Persons is 85 or younger at the time of extension (“First Extension and Second Extension”).

After election of the First Extension and Second Extension, as long as the feature is still in effect and the age of the Covered Person or younger of two Covered Persons is 85 or younger at the time of the next extension, you may elect to extend only the Income Base Evaluation Period for additional 5 year periods (“Subsequent Extensions”).

Prior to the end of the initial Income Base Evaluation Period and initial Income Credit Period and prior to the end of each evaluation period, we will inform you of the terms of the next extension in writing. If you elect extension(s), you must contact us no later than 30 days after the end of each evaluation period. The components of the feature will change to those in effect at the time of extension, such as the fee, Maximum Annual Withdrawal Percentage, and investment requirements, which may be different from the components when you initially elected the feature. We guarantee that the current fee as reflected in the Fee Table above, will not increase by more than 0.25% at the time of First Extension.

If you do not elect the First Extension and the Second Extension, Subsequent Extensions are no longer available for election and the Income Base and Income Credit Base, if applicable, will not be adjusted for higher Anniversary Values or Income Credits on subsequent Benefit Year anniversaries. However, you can continue to take the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount in effect at the end of the last Income Base Evaluation Period, subject to adjustments for Excess Withdrawals. You will continue to pay the fee at the rate that was in effect during the last Income Base Evaluation Period and you will not be permitted to extend the Income Base Evaluation Period in the future. If you have not taken any withdrawals prior to the 10th Benefit Year anniversary, your Income Base will be eligible to be increased to the Minimum Income Base even if you have not elected the First Extension.

What happens if the contract value is reduced to zero?

All withdrawals from the contract, including withdrawals under this feature, will reduce your contract value. Unfavorable investment experience may also reduce your contract value. If the contract value is reduced to zero but the Income Base is greater than zero, we will continue to

pay guaranteed payments under the terms of this feature over the lifetime of the Covered Person(s).

However, if at any time an Excess Withdrawal(s) reduce your contract value to zero, no further benefits will remain under this feature and your contract along with this feature will terminate.

If the contract value is reduced to zero, the contract’s other benefits will be terminated. You may no longer make subsequent Purchase Payments or transfers, and no death benefit or future annuity income payments are available. Therefore, you should be aware that, particularly during times of unfavorable investment performance, withdrawals taken under the benefit may reduce the contract value to zero and eliminate any other benefits of the contract.

When the contract value equals zero but a benefit remains payable, to receive any remaining benefit, you must select one of the following:

The current Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount, divided equally and paid on a quarterly, semi-annual or annual frequency as selected by you until the date of death of the Covered Person(s); or

Any option mutually agreeable between you and us.

If you do not select an option above, the remaining benefit will be paid as the current Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount divided equally and paid on a quarterly basis until the date of death of the Covered Person(s).

Any amounts that we may pay under the feature in excess of your contract value are subject to the Company’s financial strength and claims-paying ability.

What happens to MarketLock Income Plus upon a spousal continuation?

If there is one Covered Person and that person dies, the surviving spousal joint owner or spousal beneficiary may elect to:

Make a death claim if the contract value is greater than zero which terminates MarketLock Income Plus and the contract; or

Continue the contract if the contract value is greater than zero, without MarketLock Income Plus and its corresponding fee.

If there are two Covered Persons, upon the death of one Covered Person, the surviving Covered Person may elect to:

Make a death claim if the contract value is greater than zero, which terminates MarketLock Income Plus and the contract; or

Continue the contract with MarketLock Income Plus and its corresponding fee.

The components of the feature in effect at the time of spousal continuation will not change. The surviving Covered Person can elect to receive withdrawals in accordance with the provisions of the feature based on the age of the younger Covered Person when the first withdrawal was

taken. If no withdrawals were taken prior to the spousal continuation, the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Percentage will be based on the age of the surviving Covered Person at the time the first withdrawal is taken.

If spousal continuation occurs during the Income Base Evaluation Period and/or Income Credit Period, if applicable, the Continuing Spouse will continue to receive any increases to the Income Base during the remaining Income Base Evaluation Period and/or Income Credit Period. The Continuing Spouse is eligible to receive the Minimum Income Base if no withdrawals have been taken during the first 10 Benefit years following the Effective Date. Please see “Is there an additional guarantee if I do not take withdrawals for 10 years?” above. In addition, the Continuing Spouse will be eligible to elect to extend the Income Base Evaluation Period and the Income Credit Period upon the expiration of the period. Please see “Can I extend the Income Base Evaluation Period and Income Credit Period beyond 5 years?” above.

Can a non-spousal Beneficiary elect to receive any remaining benefits under MarketLock Income Plus upon the death of the second spouse?

No. Upon the death of the Covered Person(s), if the contract value is greater than zero, a non-spousal beneficiary must make an election under the death benefit provisions of the contract, which terminates MarketLock Income Plus. Please see DEATH BENEFITS below.

What happens to MarketLock Income Plus upon the Latest Annuity Date?

If the contract value and the Income Base are greater than zero on the Latest Annuity Date, you must select one of the following options:

Annuitize the contract value under the contract’s annuity provisions; or

Elect to receive the current Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount on the Latest Annuity Date, divided equally and paid on a quarterly, semi-annual or annual frequency as selected by you until the date of death of the Covered Person(s); or

Any option mutually agreeable between you and us.

If you do not elect an option listed above, on the Latest Annuity Date, we may annuitize the contract value in accordance with Annuity Income Option 3, as described in ANNUITY INCOME OPTIONS below. At that point, the Accumulation Phase of your contract ends and the Income Phase begins.

Can MarketLock Income Plus be cancelled?

MarketLock Income Plus may be cancelled on the 5th Benefit Year anniversary, the 10th Benefit Year anniversary, or any Benefit Year anniversary after the 10th Benefit Year anniversary. Once MarketLock Income Plus is cancelled, you will no longer be charged a fee after the cancellation is effective and the guarantees under the

benefit are terminated. In addition, the investment requirements for MarketLock Income Plus will no longer apply to your contract. You may not extend the Income Base Evaluation Period or Income Credit Period and you may not re-elect or reinstate MarketLock Income Plus after cancellation.

Are there circumstances under which MarketLock Income Plus will automatically terminate?

The feature automatically terminates upon the occurrence of one of the following:

Annuitization of the contract; or

Termination or surrender of the contract; or

A death benefit is paid and the contract is terminated; or

Excess Withdrawals reduce the contract value to zero; or

Death of the Covered Person, if only one is elected; or, if two are elected, death of the surviving Covered Person; or

A change that removes all Covered Persons from the contract except as noted below and under “Are there circumstances under which guaranteed withdrawals for two Covered Persons, if elected, terminate for one of the Covered Persons?”

If a change of ownership occurs from a natural person to a non-natural entity, the original natural Owner(s) must also be the annuitant(s) after the ownership change to prevent termination of MarketLock Income Plus. A change of ownership from a non-natural entity to a natural person can only occur if the new natural Owner(s) was the original natural annuitant(s) in order to prevent termination of MarketLock Income Plus. Any ownership change is contingent upon prior review and approval by the Company.

Are there circumstances under which guaranteed withdrawals for two Covered Persons, if elected, terminate for one of the Covered Persons?

Under any of the following circumstances, MarketLock Income Plus will provide a guarantee for one Covered Person and not the lifetime of the other Covered Person:

One of the two Covered Persons is removed from the contract, due to reasons other than death; or

The original spousal joint Owners or spousal beneficiary, who are the Covered Persons, are no longer married at the time of death of the first spouse.

Under these circumstances, the fee for MarketLock Income Plus based on two Covered Persons remains unchanged and the guaranteed withdrawals are payable for the remaining Covered Person only. However, the remaining Covered Person may choose to terminate the feature as described under “Can MarketLock Income Plus be cancelled?”

MarketLock for Life Plus

If your contract was issued with an optional Living Benefit prior to May 1, 2008, please see APPENDIX D – LIVING BENEFIT PROVISIONS FOR CONTRACTS ISSUED PRIOR TO MAY 1, 2008 for details regarding certain differences to the Living Benefit provisions from those described below.

What is MarketLock For Life Plus?

MarketLock For Life Plus is an optional guaranteed minimum withdrawal feature. The feature is designed to help you create a guaranteed income stream that may last as long as you live, or as long as you and your spouse live, even if the entire value of your contract has been reduced to zero. The feature guarantees withdrawals based on the greater of the highest Anniversary Value or the Income Base, as defined below, plus a potential additional amount (“Income Credit”). Thus, MarketLock For Life Plus may offer protection in the event your contract value declines due to unfavorable investment performance, certain withdrawal activity, that you live longer than expected or any combination of these factors. You may never need to rely on MarketLock For Life Plus as its value is dependent on your contract’s performance, your withdrawal activity and your longevity.

This feature may not be appropriate if you plan to make ongoing Gross Purchase Payments, such as with contributory IRA’s or other tax-qualified plans. The feature guarantees that only certain Gross Purchase Payments received in the contract’s first five years are included in the Income Base.

Withdrawals under the feature are treated like any other withdrawal for the purpose of calculating taxable income, reducing the contract value, deducting applicable withdrawal charges and all other benefits, features and conditions of your contract.

Any withdrawals taken may be subject to a 10% IRS tax penalty if you are under age 59 ½ at the time of the withdrawal. For information about how the feature is treated for income tax purposes, you should consult a qualified tax advisor concerning your particular circumstances. If you take required minimum distributions and want to ensure that these withdrawals are not considered Excess Withdrawals under the feature, your distributions must be set up on the automated monthly minimum distribution withdrawal program administered by our Annuity Service Center. In addition, if you have a Qualified contract, tax law and the terms of the plan may restrict withdrawal amounts.

We reserve the right to modify, suspend or terminate MarketLock For Life Plus at any time for prospectively issued contracts.

When and how may I elect MarketLock For Life Plus?

You may have elected MarketLock For Life Plus at the time of contract issue. We refer to the person or persons whose

lifetime withdrawals are guaranteed under MarketLock For Life Plus as the “Covered Person(s).” There are age parameters applicable to this feature which determine whether you can elect the feature and who can qualify as a Covered Person. If the contract is not owned by a natural person, references to owner(s) apply to the annuitants. The tables below provide the age requirement for electing this feature depending on the type of contract you purchase and the number of Covered Persons.

If you elected one Covered Person:

	Covered Person
	Minimum Age	Maximum Age(1)
One Owner	45	80
Joint Owners (based on the age of the older Owner)	45	80

If you elected two Covered Persons:

	Covered Person #1		Covered Person #2
	Minimum Age	Maximum Age(1)	Minimum Age	Maximum Age(1)
Non-Qualified: Joint Owners	45	80	45	85
Non-Qualified: One Owner with Spousal Beneficiary	45	80	45	N/A(2)
Qualified: One Owner with Spousal Beneficiary	45	80	45	N/A(2)

(1) The age requirements for optional death benefits and other optional features may be different than those listed here. You must meet the age requirement for those features in order to elect them.

(2) Not applicable because feature availability is based on the younger Owner. The spousal beneficiary’s age is not considered in determining the maximum issue age of the second Covered Person.

How does MarketLock For Life Plus work?

MarketLock For Life Plus automatically locks-in the greater of two values in determining the Covered Person(s) guaranteed lifetime benefit. For 10 years following the Effective Date, the feature annually locks-in the highest Anniversary Value or the Income Base plus an Income Credit, as described below. You may extend the period over which the feature locks-in the highest Anniversary Value beyond 10 years; however, the Income Credit is only available for the first 10 years following the Effective Date.

MarketLock For Life Plus automatically locks-in a new Income Base each year during the first 10 years of your contract based on the greater of either (1) the highest Anniversary Value, or (2) the Income Base increased by an Income Credit. The Income Credit is calculated as 7% of the Income Credit Base, defined below. The Income Credit may only be added to the Income Base if no withdrawals are taken in a contract year. For instance, if you take a withdrawal in year 2, you will not be eligible for an Income Credit to be added to your Income Base on your second contract anniversary; however, if you do not take a withdrawal in year 3, you will be eligible for an Income

Credit to be added to your Income Base on your third contract anniversary. Please see “How are the components of MarketLock For Life Plus calculated?” below for details.

What determines the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Percentage?

One Covered Person

If the feature is elected to cover one life but the contract is jointly owned, then the Covered Person must be the older Owner and the following is applicable:

Age of the Covered Person at Time of First Withdrawal	Maximum Annual Withdrawal Percentage
At least age 45 but prior to 60th Birthday	4% of Income Base
At least age 60 but prior to 76th Birthday	5% of Income Base
On or after 76th Birthday	6% of Income Base

Two Covered Persons

If the feature is elected to cover two lives, the following is applicable:

Age of the Younger Covered Person or Surviving Covered Person at Time of First Withdrawal	Maximum Annual Withdrawal Percentage
At least age 45 but prior to 60th Birthday	4% of Income Base
At least age 60 but prior to 76th Birthday	5% of Income Base
On or after 76th Birthday	6% of Income Base

If you are taking required minimum distributions (“RMD”) from this contract, and the amount of the RMD (based on this contract) is greater than the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount in any given contract year, no portion of the RMD withdrawal will be treated as an Excess Withdrawal (defined below). Any portion of a withdrawal in a contract year that is greater than both the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount and the RMD (based only on this contract) will be considered an Excess Withdrawal. Please see “What are the effects of withdrawals on MarketLock For Life Plus?” below.

Are there investment requirements if I elect MarketLock For Life Plus?

Your allocation instructions accompanying any Gross Purchase Payment must comply with the investment requirements, listed above, in order for your application or subsequent Gross Purchase Payment to be considered in Good Order. Please see ALLOCATION OF PURCHASE

PAYMENTS above. We will automatically enroll you in the Automatic Asset Rebalancing Program, with quarterly rebalancing because market performance and withdrawal activity may result in your contract’s allocations going outside these restrictions. This will ensure that your allocations are rebalanced quarterly to comply with the investment requirements for this feature. In addition to quarterly rebalancing, we will initiate rebalancing in accordance with your Automatic Asset Rebalancing instructions, after any of the following transactions:

•

any transfer or reallocation you initiate; or

•

any withdrawal you initiate.

Automatic transfers and/or systematic withdrawals will not result in rebalancing. We will rebalance your contract in accordance with your most current and compliant Automatic Asset Rebalancing Program instructions on file. If at any point, for any reason, your Automatic Asset Rebalancing Program instructions would result in allocations inconsistent with the investment requirements, we will revert to the last compliant instructions on file whether for rebalancing or for allocation of a Gross Purchase Payment and implement those at the next rebalancing. Please see AUTOMATIC ASSET REBALANCING PROGRAM in the prospectus. You can modify your Automatic Asset Rebalancing Program instructions, as long as they are consistent with the investment requirements, at any time by calling the Annuity Service Center. If we cannot complete automatic rebalancing according to your current instructions due to Variable Portfolio changes (including closures, substitutions, or mergers), we reserve the right to allocate the applicable amounts that would have been transferred to the impacted Variable Portfolio(s) to a money market option available under the contract.

We reserve the right to change the investment requirements at any time for prospectively issued contracts. We may also revise the investment requirements for any existing contract to the extent Variable Portfolios and/or Fixed Accounts are added, deleted, substituted, merged or otherwise reorganized. We will notify you of any changes to the investment requirements at least 30 days in advance.

How are the components for MarketLock For Life Plus calculated?

First, we determine the Eligible Purchase Payments, which include:

100% of Gross Purchase Payments received during the first contract year; and

Gross Purchase Payments received in each of contract years 2-5, capped in each year at an amount equal to 100% of the Gross Purchase Payments received in year 1. This means that if you made a $100,000 Gross Purchase Payment in year 1, Eligible Purchase Payments will include additional Gross Purchase Payments of up to $100,000 contributed in each of contract years 2-5 for a grand total maximum of $500,000 of Eligible Purchase Payments. We will not accept subsequent Gross Purchase Payments after the 5th contract year.

contract year. The calculation of Eligible Purchase Payments does not include any spousal continuation contributions; however, continuation contributions are included in the calculation of Anniversary Values, as defined below. Please see SPOUSAL CONTINUATION below. Total Eligible Purchase Payments are limited to $1,500,000 Value without our prior Company approval.

Second, we consider the Income Credit Period and the Income Base Evaluation Period. The Income Credit Period is the period of time over which we calculate the potential Income Credit. The Income Base Evaluation Period is the period of time over which we will consider Anniversary Values and if greater, the Income Base plus the Income Credit, if applicable, during the Income Credit Period. The Income Credit Period and the Income Base Evaluation Period begin on the Effective Date and end 10 years later. On the expiration of the Income Base Evaluation Period, you may contact us to extend the Income Base Evaluation Period. Please see“Can I extend the Income Base Evaluation Period beyond 10 years?” below. However, you cannot extend the Income Credit Period.

Third, we determine the Anniversary Value which equals your contract value on any contract anniversary during the Income Base Evaluation Period minus any Ineligible Purchase Payments.

Fourth, we determine the Income Base which initially is equal to the first Eligible Purchase Payment. Please see“What are the effects of withdrawals on MarketLock For Life Plus?” below. On each contract anniversary, we determine if the Income Base should be increased based on the maximum Anniversary Value or any available Income Credit. The calculation and components of this determination are detailed below.

Calculation of the Income Base when an Income Credit is Not Available or after Income Credit Period ends:

On each contract anniversary occurring during the Income Base Evaluation Period, the Income Base is automatically increased to the Anniversary Value when the Anniversary Value is greater than both (a) and (b), where:

(a)

is the current Income Base; and

(b)

is all previous maximum Anniversary Values during the Income Base Evaluation Period.

Calculation of the Income Base when an Income Credit is Available:

The Income Credit Base is used to calculate the Income Credit during the Income Credit Period. The Income Credit is calculated as a percentage of the Income Credit Base. The Income Credit Base is used solely to calculate the Income Credit. The initial Income Credit Base is equal to the initial Eligible Purchase Payment.

On each contract anniversary during the Income Credit Period, we determine the amount by which the Income Credit Base and/or the Income Base could increase. The components used to determine this amount are:

(a)

the Income Base calculated based on the maximum Anniversary Value; and

(b)

the current Income Base plus the Income Credit.

If (a) is greater than or equal to (b), the Income Credit Base and the Income Base are increased to the current Anniversary Value. If (b) is greater than (a), the Income Base is increased by the Income Credit and the Income Credit Base remains unchanged.

Increases to your Income Base and Income Credit Base occur on contract year anniversaries as described above. However eligible Purchase Payments can increase your Income Base and Income Credit Base at the time they are received. Your Income Base and Income Credit Base will not increase even if your contract value on days other than the contract year anniversary was greater than your Income Base on the contract year anniversary.

The Income Base and Income Credit Base are increased each time subsequent Eligible Purchase Payments are made. The Income Credit Base also increases when the Income Base is increased as a result of a maximum Anniversary Value being achieved that is greater than both the current Income Base and all previous maximum Anniversary Values. The Income Base and Income Credit Base are decreased each time an Excess Withdrawal is taken, in the same proportion by which the contract value is reduced by the Excess Withdrawal. The Income Base and Income Credit Base are not used in the calculation of the contract value or any other benefits under the contract.

Other than adjustments made for Excess Withdrawals, the Income Base and Income Credit Base can only be adjusted upwards, and subsequent lower Anniversary Values during the Income Base Evaluation Period will not result in a lower Income Base or lower Income Credit Base.

Finally, we determine the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount, which represents the maximum amount that may be withdrawn each contract year. The Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount is calculated by multiplying the current Income Base by the applicable Maximum Annual Withdrawal Percentage shown in the tables above. If the Income Base is increased on a contract anniversary, the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount is recalculated on that contract anniversary by multiplying the increased Income Base by the applicable Maximum Annual Withdrawal Percentage. If the Income Base is increased for any Eligible Purchase Payments, the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount will be recalculated upon receipt of each Eligible Purchase Payments by multiplying the new Income Base by the applicable Maximum Annual Withdrawal Percentage. The Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount may also be decreased due to Excess Withdrawals. Please see What are the Effects of Withdrawals on MarketLock For Life Plus? below.

What is the fee for MarketLock For Life Plus?

The fee for MarketLock For Life Plus depends on whether you elect to cover one life or two lives. The fee is as follows:

All years in which the feature is in effect	Annualized Fee
For One Covered Person	0.75% of Income Base
For Two Covered Persons	1.00% of Income Base

If your contract value falls to zero before the feature has been terminated, the fee will no longer be deducted. We will not assess the quarterly fee if you annuitize your contract before the end of a contract quarter. If the feature is still in effect and you surrender your contract, we will assess a pro-rata charge for the fee if you surrender your contract before the end of a contract quarter. The pro-rata charge is calculated by multiplying the full quarterly fee by the number of days between the date the fee was last assessed and the date of surrender divided by the number of days in a contract quarter.

What are the effects of withdrawals on MarketLock For Life Plus?

The Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount, the Income Base and Income Credit Base may change over time as a result of the timing and amount of withdrawals.

Any withdrawals in a contract year that in total are less than or equal to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount do not reduce the Income Base or Income Credit Base. Withdrawals in excess of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount are considered Excess Withdrawals. We define Excess Withdrawals as any portion of a withdrawal that causes the total withdrawals in a benefit year to exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount, including but not limited to any withdrawal in a contract year taken after the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount has been withdrawn.

You should not elect this feature if you plan to take Excess Withdrawals since those withdrawals may significantly reduce or eliminate the value of the feature. In addition, if you plan to take withdrawals in any years during the Income Credit Period, an Income Credit will not be added to your Income Base in those years.

You may take withdrawals during a contract year up to or less than the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount. However, if you choose to take less than the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount in any contract year, you may not carry over the unused amount into subsequent years. Your Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount will not be recalculated as a result of taking less than the entire Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount in any given year.

The impact of withdrawals and the effect on each component of MarketLock For Life Plus are further explained below:

Income Base and Income Credit Base: If the sum of withdrawals in any contract year does not exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount, the Income Base and Income Credit Base are not reduced for those withdrawals.

For each Excess Withdrawal taken, the Income Base and Income Credit Base are reduced in the same proportion by which the contract value is reduced by each Excess Withdrawal.

Since Excess Withdrawals reduce the Income Credit Base, it will result in the reduction of the amount of the Income Credit.

Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount: The Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount is recalculated each time there is a change in the Income Base.

Accordingly, if the sum of withdrawals in any contract year does not exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount for that year, the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount will not change for the next year unless your Income Base is increased (as described above under “How are the components for MarketLock For Life Plus calculated?”).

If you take an Excess Withdrawal, the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount will be recalculated by multiplying the reduced Income Base by the existing Maximum Annual Withdrawal Percentage. This recalculated Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount will be available beginning on the next contract anniversary and may be lower than your previous Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount.

What happens if the contract value is reduced to zero?

If the contract value is reduced to zero but the Income Base is greater than zero, guaranteed withdrawals will continue to be payable over the lifetime of the Covered Person(s). However, if at any time an Excess Withdrawal reduces your contract value to zero, no benefit remains and the feature terminates.

The contract’s other benefits will be terminated once the contract value equals zero. You may not make subsequent Gross Purchase Payments or transfers, and no death benefit or future annuity income payments are available. Therefore, particularly during times of unfavorable investment performance, withdrawals taken under the benefit may reduce the contract value to zero eliminating any other benefits of the contract.

When the contract value equals zero but a benefit remains payable, to receive any remaining benefit, you must select one of the following:

The current Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount, divided equally and paid on a quarterly, semi-annual or annual frequency as selected by you until the date of death of the Covered Person(s); or

Any option mutually agreeable between you and us.

Can I extend the Income Base Evaluation Period beyond 10 years?

There is an option for extension of the Income Base Evaluation Period as long as the feature is still in effect and the age of the Covered Person or younger of two Covered Persons is 85 or younger at the time of extension. In order to extend the Income Base Evaluation Period, you must contact us no later than 30 days after the end of the current Income Base Evaluation Period. If you elect to extend the Income Base Evaluation Period, the Income Base can continue to be adjusted upward as described above on each anniversary during the new Income Base Evaluation Period which is a period of 5 years. Please see “How are the components for MarketLock For Life Plus calculated?” above. Also, if you extend the Income Base Evaluation Period, you should note that the components of the feature will change to those in effect at the time you elect to extend, such as the fee, Maximum Annual Withdrawal Percentage, and investment requirements, which may be different from the components when you initially elected the

feature. We will notify you in writing of the terms of the extension at least 30 days prior to the end of the Income Base Evaluation Period.

If you do not contact us at the end of each Income Base Evaluation Period to extend the Income Base Evaluation Period, an extension will no longer be available and the Income Base will not be adjusted for higher Anniversary Values on subsequent contract anniversaries. However, you can continue to take the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount in effect at the end of the last Income Base Evaluation Period, subject to adjustments for Excess Withdrawals. You will continue to pay the fee at the rate that was in effect during the last Income Base Evaluation Period and you will not be permitted to extend the Income Base Evaluation Period in the future.

Can I extend the Income Credit Period beyond 10 years?

No. The Income Credit Period may not be extended. However, the Income Base Evaluation Period as described above may be extended.

What happens to MarketLock For Life Plus upon a spousal continuation?

If there is one Covered Person and that person dies, the surviving spousal joint owner or spousal beneficiary may elect to:

Make a death claim if the contract value is greater than zero which terminates MarketLock For Life Plus and the contract; or

Continue the contract if the contract value is greater than zero, without MarketLock For Life Plus and its corresponding fee.

If there are two Covered Persons, upon the death of one Covered Person, the surviving Covered Person may elect to:

Make a death claim if the contract value is greater than zero, which terminates MarketLock For Life Plus and the contract; or

Continue the contract with MarketLock For Life Plus and its corresponding fee.

The components of the feature will not change as a result of a spousal continuation. The surviving Covered Person can elect to receive withdrawals in accordance with the provisions of the feature based on the age of the younger Covered Person when the first withdrawal was taken or, if no withdrawals were taken prior to the continuation, the age of the surviving Covered Person at the time the first withdrawal is taken.

Can a non-spousal Beneficiary elect to receive any remaining benefits under MarketLock For Life Plus upon the death of the second spouse?

No. Upon the death of the Covered Person(s), if the contract value is greater than zero, a non-spousal beneficiary must make an election under the death benefit

provisions of the contract, which terminates MarketLock For Life Plus. See DEATH BENEFITS below.

What happens to MarketLock For Life Plus upon the Latest Annuity Date?

If the contract value and the Income Base are greater than zero on the Latest Annuity Date, you must select one of the following options:

Annuitize the contract value under the contract’s annuity provisions; or

Any option mutually agreeable between you and us.

If you do not elect an option listed above, on the Latest Annuity Date, we will annuitize the contract value in accordance with Annuity Income Option 3, as described in ANNUITY INCOME OPTIONS below. At that point, the Accumulation Phase of your contract ends and the Income Phase begins.

Can MarketLock For Life Plus be cancelled?

MarketLock For Life Plus may be cancelled on the 5th contract anniversary, the 10th contract anniversary, or any contract anniversary after the 10th contract anniversary. Once MarketLock For Life Plus is cancelled, you will no longer be charged a fee after the cancellation is effective and the guarantees under the benefit are terminated. In addition, the investment requirements for MarketLock For Life Plus will no longer apply to your contract. You may not extend the Income Base Evaluation Period and you may not re-elect or reinstate MarketLock For Life Plus after cancellation.

Are there circumstances under which MarketLock For Life Plus will automatically terminate?

The feature automatically terminates upon the occurrence of one of the following:

Annuitization of the contract; or

Full surrender or termination of the contract; or

A death benefit is paid and the contract is terminated; or

Excess withdrawals reduce the contract value to zero; or

Death of the Covered Person, if only one is elected; or, if two are elected, death of the surviving Covered Person; or

If a change of ownership occurs from a natural person to a non-natural entity, the original natural Owner(s) must also be the annuitant(s) after the ownership change to prevent termination of MarketLock For Life Plus. A change of ownership from a non-natural entity to a natural person can only occur if the new natural Owner(s) was the original natural annuitant(s) in order to prevent termination of MarketLock For Life Plus. Any ownership change is contingent upon prior review and approval by the Company.

Are there circumstances under which guaranteed withdrawals for two Covered Persons, if elected, terminate for one of the Covered Persons?

Under any of the following circumstances, MarketLock For Life Plus will provide a guarantee for one Covered Person and not the lifetime of the other Covered Person:

One of the two Covered Persons is removed from the contract, due to reasons other than death; or

The original spousal joint Owners or spousal beneficiary, who are the Covered Persons, are no longer married at the time of death of the first spouse.

Under these circumstances, the fee for MarketLock For Life Plus based on two Covered Persons remains unchanged and the guaranteed withdrawals are payable for the remaining Covered Person only. However, the remaining Covered Person may choose to terminate the feature as described under “Can MarketLock For Life Plus be cancelled?”

Please see APPENDIX K – OPTIONAL LIVING BENEFITS EXAMPLES for examples of how your Living Benefit is calculated.

MarketLock

What is MarketLock?

MarketLock is an optional guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit designed to help you create a guaranteed income stream for a specified period of time that may last as long as you live even if the entire value of your contract has been reduced to zero (the “Benefit”). Thus, MarketLock may offer protection in the event your contract value declines due to unfavorable investment performance, certain withdrawal activity, a longer than expected life span, or any combination of these factors.

The feature does not guarantee a withdrawal of an income stream based on any Gross Purchase Payments made after the second contract anniversary. The feature only guarantees lifetime withdrawals in the manner described below. You may never need to rely on MarketLock depending on your contract’s market performance, your withdrawal activity, and your longevity.

The feature may not be appropriate if you plan to make ongoing Purchase Payments, such as with contributory IRAs or tax qualified plans. The feature guarantees only Purchase Payments received in the contract’s first two years.

Withdrawals under this feature are treated like any other withdrawal for the purpose of calculating taxable income, deducting applicable withdrawal charges, and reducing the contract value, free withdrawal amounts and all other benefits, features and conditions of your contract. Please see ACCESS TO YOUR MONEY section in the prospectus.

Any withdrawals taken may be subject to a 10% IRS tax penalty if you are under age 59 ½ at the time of the withdrawal. For information about how the feature is treated for income tax purposes, you should consult a qualified tax advisor concerning your particular circumstances. If you take required minimum distributions and have elected this feature, your distributions must be set up on the automated minimum distribution withdrawal program administered by our Annuity Service Center. In addition, if you have a Qualified contract, tax law and the terms of the plan may restrict withdrawal amounts.

We reserve the right to modify, suspend or terminate MarketLock at any time for prospectively issued contracts.

The investment requirements applicable to MarketLock Income Plus and MarketLock For Life Plus, discussed above, are not applicable to MarketLock.

When and how can I elect MarketLock?

You may have elected MarketLock at the time of contract issue and if you were age 75 or younger on the contract issue date. If the contract is jointly owned, the maximum issue age is based on the age of the older owner.

How does MarketLock work?

MarketLock automatically locks-in the highest contract Anniversary Value during the first 7 years (or longer if you extend the Maximum Anniversary Value (“MAV”) Evaluation Period, as discussed below) and guarantees annual withdrawals based on this amount over the period that the Benefit is in effect. Additionally, you may take withdrawals over the lifetime of the owner as more fully described below. For jointly owned contracts, the older owner is the life upon which the lifetime guarantee applies. Accordingly, if the older contract owner were to die first, the surviving younger spousal owner is not eligible for lifetime withdrawals, but may elect to continue the contract and receive any remaining withdrawals under the feature as described below. MarketLock is designed for individuals. Thus, if a contract is owned by non-spousal joint owners and either owner dies, the full contract value must be paid within 5 years of death, after which time the contract terminates; the surviving owner may not receive the benefit of MarketLock.

The Benefit’s components and value may vary depending on when the first withdrawal is taken, the age of the older owner at the time of the first withdrawal and the amount that is withdrawn. Your withdrawal activity determines the time period over which you are eligible to receive withdrawals. You will automatically be eligible to receive lifetime withdrawals if you begin withdrawals on or after your 65th birthday and your withdrawals do not exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount in any Benefit Year. However, you may begin taking withdrawals under the Benefit immediately following the contract issue date. See the MarketLock Summary Table below.

The table below is a summary of the MarketLock feature and applicable components of the Benefit. “Benefit Year Anniversary” refers to each one-year period beginning on the contract issue date and ending on the day before the contract anniversary date.

MarketLock Summary Table:

Time of First Withdrawal	Maximum Annual Withdrawal Percentage*	Initial Minimum Withdrawal Period
Before 7th Benefit Year anniversary	5%	20 years
On or after 7th Benefit Year anniversary	7%	14.28 years**
On or after the older contract owner’s 65th birthday***	5%	Life of the older contract owner

For the purposes of complying with the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Percentage, the amount of the withdrawal would include any charges applicable to the withdrawal.

The fractional year indicates that the final withdrawal of the remaining Benefit Base, which will be less than your Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount, may be taken at any time during the final year of the Minimum Withdrawal Period.

***

Lifetime withdrawals are available so long as your first withdrawal is taken on or after age 65 and withdrawals do not exceed the 5% Maximum Annual Withdrawal Percentage indicated above. If withdrawals exceed the 5% Maximum Annual Withdrawal Percentage in any Benefit Year (other than for RMD amounts for this contract that are greater than the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount), lifetime withdrawals are no longer available. Instead, available withdrawals are automatically recalculated with respect to the Minimum Withdrawal Period and Maximum Annual Withdrawal Percentage listed in the table above, based on the time of first withdrawal and reduced for withdrawals already taken.

If you are taking required minimum distributions (“RMD”) from the contract, and the portion of the RMD amount based on this contract only is greater than the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount in any given Benefit Year; no portion of the withdrawal will be treated as an excess withdrawal. Any portion of an RMD withdrawal in a Benefit Year that is greater than both the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount and the RMD amount (based only on this contract) will be considered an Excess Withdrawal. This will result in cancellation of the lifetime withdrawals and may further reduce your Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount, MAV Benefit Base, and remaining Minimum Withdrawal Period. See “How are the components for MarketLock Calculated?” below.

For details on the effects of withdrawals, please see “What are the Effects of Withdrawals on MarketLock?”

How are the components for MarketLock calculated?

In order to determine the Benefit’s value, we calculate each of the components as described below.

First, we determine the Eligible Purchase Payments, which include the amount of Gross Purchase Payments received during the first two years after your contract issue date, adjusted for any withdrawals during that period. Any Gross Purchase Payments we receive more than two years after your contract issue date are considered Ineligible Purchase Payments. We will not accept subsequent Gross Purchase Payments after the 2nd contract year. The calculation of Eligible Purchase Payments does not include any spousal continuation contributions; however, spousal continuation contributions are included in the calculation of Anniversary Values. Please see SPOUSAL CONTINUATION below. Eligible Purchase Payments are limited to $1,500,000 without prior Company approval.

Second, we consider the MAV Evaluation Period, which begins on your contract issue date and ends on your 7th contract anniversary. On the expiration of the MAV Evaluation Period, you may contact us to extend the MAV Evaluation Period for additional periods as discussed further below.

Third, we determine the Anniversary Value which equals the value of your contract on any contract anniversary during the MAV Evaluation Period minus any Ineligible Purchase Payments.

Fourth, we determine the MAV Benefit Base. Initially, the MAV Benefit Base equals the first Eligible Purchase Payment. Thereafter, the MAV Benefit Base is increased each time subsequent Eligible Purchase Payments are made, and adjusted each time any withdrawals of contract value are taken. Please see “What are the effects of withdrawals on MarketLock?” below. On each contract anniversary

throughout the MAV Evaluation Period, the MAV Benefit Base automatically adjusts upwards if the current Anniversary Value is greater than both the current MAV Benefit Base and any previous year’s Anniversary Value. Other than adjustments made for withdrawals, the MAV Benefit Base will only be adjusted upwards, and subsequent lower Anniversary Values through the MAV Evaluation Period will not result in a lower MAV Benefit Base.

Fifth, we determine the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount, which represents the maximum amount that may be withdrawn each Benefit Year and is an amount calculated as a percentage of the MAV Benefit Base. The applicable Maximum Annual Withdrawal Percentage is determined based on the Benefit Year when you take your first withdrawal or whether you are taking lifetime withdrawals. Applicable percentages are shown in the MarketLock Summary Table above. If the MAV Benefit Base is increased to the current Anniversary Value, the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount is recalculated on that contract anniversary using the applicable Maximum Annual Withdrawal Percentage multiplied by the new MAV Benefit Base. If the MAV Benefit Base is increased for Eligible Purchase Payments, the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount will be recalculated by multiplying the new MAV Benefit Base by the applicable Maximum Annual Withdrawal Percentage.

Finally, we determine the Minimum Withdrawal Period, which is the minimum period of time over which you may take withdrawals under the feature. The initial Minimum Withdrawal Period is calculated when withdrawals under the Benefit begin and is recalculated when the MAV Benefit Base is adjusted to a higher Anniversary Value by dividing the MAV Benefit Base by the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount. Please see the MarketLock Summary Table above for initial Minimum Withdrawal Periods. The Minimum Withdrawal Periods will be reduced due to Excess Withdrawals.

For details on the effects of withdrawals, please see “What are the Effects of Withdrawals on MarketLock?” below.

Can I extend MarketLock beyond 7 years?

Yes. As long as the Benefit is still in effect and the older owner is age 85 or younger at the time you elect the extension, you may elect to extend the MAV Evaluation Period. We guarantee that you will be given the opportunity to extend the MAV Evaluation Period under these conditions for at least two additional evaluation periods of 7 years each. In order to extend the MAV Evaluation Period, you must contact us no later than 30 days after the end of the current MAV Evaluation Period. If you elect to extend the MAV Evaluation Period, the MAV Benefit Base can continue to be adjusted upward as described above on each anniversary during the new MAV Evaluation Period. See “How are the Components of MarketLock calculated?” Also, if you extend the MAV Evaluation Period, you should note that the components of the feature, such as the fee and Maximum Annual Withdrawal Percentage, may change to those in effect at the time you elect to extend, which may be different from the components when you initially elected the feature. We will notify you in writing of the terms of the extension at least 30 days prior to the end of the MAV

Evaluation Period. Additional MAV Evaluation Periods may be offered after the guaranteed additional evaluation periods at our sole discretion.

If you do not contact us to extend the MAV Evaluation Period, the MAV Benefit Base will no longer be adjusted on subsequent contract anniversaries. However, you can continue to take the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount in effect at the end of the last MAV Evaluation Period, subject to adjustments for withdrawals. You will continue to pay the fee at the rate that was in effect during the last MAV Evaluation Period and you will not be permitted to extend the MAV Evaluation Period in the future.

What is the fee for MarketLock?

The annualized fee for MarketLock is calculated as 0.50% of the MAV Benefit Base for all years in which the feature is in effect. However, if you elect to extend the MAV Evaluation Period the fee may change at the time of the extension.

The fee will be calculated as a percentage of the MAV Benefit Base and deducted quarterly from your contract value starting on the first quarter following your contract issue date and ending upon termination of the Benefit. We will not assess the quarterly fee if you surrender or annuitize your contract before the end of a contract quarter. You should keep in mind that an increase in the MAV Benefit Base due to an adjustment to a higher Anniversary Value or due to subsequent Eligible Purchase Payments will result in an increase to the dollar amount of the fee. Alternatively, a decrease in the MAV Benefit Base due to withdrawals will decrease the dollar amount of the fee.

If your contract value and/or MAV Benefit Base falls to zero before the feature has been terminated, the fee will no longer be deducted. However, if the MAV Benefit Base is adjusted upwards at a later date because the current anniversary value is greater than both the current and any previous anniversary values, the calculation and deduction of the fee will resume.

What are the effects of withdrawals on MarketLock?

The Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount, MAV Benefit Base and Minimum Withdrawal Period may change over time as a result of the timing and amounts of withdrawals.

If you elect to begin withdrawals prior to your 65th birthday (if jointly owned, prior to the 65th birthday of the older owner), you will not be eligible to receive lifetime withdrawals. If you begin withdrawals on or after your 65th birthday (older owner’s 65th birthday if jointly owned) and wish to receive lifetime withdrawals, you must withdraw no more than the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount which is calculated as 5% of the MAV Benefit Base. If the amount of withdrawals, at any time, exceeds 5% of the MAV Benefit Base in a Benefit Year, you will not receive lifetime withdrawals. However, you can continue to receive withdrawals over the Minimum Withdrawal Period in amounts up to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount as described in the MarketLock Summary Table and under “How are the components for MarketLock calculated?” above, based on when your first withdrawal was taken and adjusted for withdrawals already taken.

Total withdrawals in any Benefit Year equal to or less than the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount reduce the MAV Benefit Base by the amount of the withdrawal. Withdrawals in excess of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount are

considered Excess Withdrawals. We define Excess Withdrawals as either: 1) any portion of a withdrawal that causes the total withdrawals in a Benefit Year to exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount; or 2) any withdrawal in a Benefit Year taken after the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount has been withdrawn. Excess Withdrawals will reduce the MAV Benefit Base by the greater of: (a) the amount of the Excess Withdrawal; or (b) the relative size of the Excess Withdrawal in relation to the contract value prior to the Excess Withdrawal. This means that if contract value is less than the MAV Benefit Base, withdrawals greater than the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount will result in a proportionately greater reduction of the MAV Benefit Base (as described below), which will be more than the amount of the withdrawal itself. This will also reduce your Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount.

The impact of withdrawals and the effect on each component of MarketLock are further explained below:

MAV Benefit Base: Withdrawals reduce the MAV Benefit Base as follows:

(1)

If the withdrawal does not cause total withdrawals in the Benefit Year to exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount, the MAV Benefit Base will be reduced by the amount of the withdrawal;

(2)

Excess Withdrawals as described above reduce the MAV Benefit Base as follows:

If total withdrawals during the Benefit Year, including the current withdrawal, exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount, the MAV Benefit Base is further reduced to the lesser of:

(a)

is the MAV Benefit Base immediately prior to the withdrawal minus the amount of the Excess Withdrawal; or

(b)

is the MAV Benefit Base immediately prior to the withdrawal reduced in the same proportion by which the contract value is reduced by the amount of the Excess Withdrawal.

Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount: If the sum of withdrawals in a Benefit Year does not exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount for that Benefit Year, the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount will not change for the next Benefit Year unless your MAV Benefit Base is adjusted upward (as described above under “How are the components for MarketLock calculated?”). If total withdrawals in a Benefit Year exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount, the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount will be recalculated on the next contract anniversary. The new Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount will equal the new MAV Benefit Base after any withdrawals on that contract anniversary, divided by the new Minimum Withdrawal Period on that contract anniversary. On that contract anniversary, the new Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount may be lower than your previous Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount.

Minimum Withdrawal Period:

On each contract anniversary, a new Minimum Withdrawal Period is calculated as shown in the chart below.

The Amount Withdrawn in a Benefit Year	Effect on Minimum Withdrawal Period
Amounts up to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount	New Minimum Withdrawal Period = the MAV Benefit Base (which includes a deduction for any previous withdrawals), divided by the current Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount
Amounts in excess of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount	New Minimum Withdrawal Period = the Minimum Withdrawal Period as of the prior contract anniversary minus one year

What happens if the contract value is reduced to zero?

If the contract value is zero but the MAV Benefit Base is greater than zero, a Benefit remains payable under the feature until the MAV Benefit Base is zero. Further, if you are eligible to take lifetime withdrawals, a Benefit is still payable even if the contract value and MAV Benefit Base both equal zero. However, the contract’s other benefits, will be terminated once the contract value equals zero. You may not make subsequent Gross Purchase Payments or transfers and no death benefit or future annuitization payments are available. Therefore, during times of unfavorable investment performance, withdrawals taken under the Benefit may reduce the contract value to zero eliminating any other benefits of the contract.

When the contract value equals zero, to receive any remaining Benefit, you must select one of the following:

The current Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount, paid equally on a quarterly, semi-annual or annual frequency as selected by you until either: (a) the time at which the Minimum Withdrawal Period equals zero, or (b) if receiving 5% lifetime withdrawals, the date of death of the older contract owner; or

Lump sum distribution of the discounted present value as determined by us, of the total remaining guaranteed withdrawals; or

Any option mutually agreeable between you and us.

What happens to MarketLock upon a spousal continuation?

A Continuing Spouse may elect to continue or cancel the feature and its accompanying fee. The components of the feature will not change as a result of a spousal continuation. However, lifetime withdrawals or the option to receive lifetime withdrawals will cease upon death of the older owner. Excluding the lifetime option, a younger continuing spouse can elect to receive withdrawals in accordance with the provisions of the MarketLock Summary Table above based on when the first withdrawal was taken and adjusted for any withdrawals already taken. In the event of the death of the younger spouse, the older spousal beneficiary may continue to receive lifetime withdrawals if eligible, because they are based on the older owner’s life.

If the contract owner elected MarketLock and dies during the MAV Evaluation Period and the spousal beneficiary continues the Benefit, we will continue to re-evaluate the MAV Benefit Base on each contract anniversary during the MAV Evaluation Period, and any spousal continuation contribution is included in Anniversary Values. Please see SPOUSAL CONTINUATION below. Additionally, the

Continuing Spouse may extend the MAV Evaluation Period up to two times provided that (1) the original owner did not previously extend the MAV Evaluation period and (2) the Continuing Spouse is age 85 or younger at the time they extend the MAV Evaluation Period. If the original owner extended the MAV Evaluation Period once, the Continuing Spouse may extend the MAV Evaluation Period only one more time. If the original owner extended the MAV Evaluation Period twice, the Continuing Spouse may not extend the MAV Evaluation Period. Spousal continuation contributions are not considered Eligible Purchase Payments. However, spousal continuation contributions are included in the calculation of Anniversary Values for the purpose of determining the MAV Benefit Base during the MAV Evaluation Period.

Can my non-spousal Beneficiary elect to receive any remaining withdrawals under MarketLock upon my death?

Upon the death of the older contract owner, lifetime withdrawals will no longer be available. If the contract value is greater than zero when the owner dies, a non-spousal Beneficiary must make a death claim under the contract provisions, which terminates MarketLock. See DEATH BENEFITS below. If the contract value is zero when the owner dies, meaning that no death benefit is payable, but the Minimum Withdrawal Period remaining is greater than zero, a non-spousal Beneficiary may elect to continue receiving any remaining withdrawals under the feature. The other components of the feature will not change. However, the contract and its other benefits will be terminated.

What happens to MarketLock upon the Latest Annuity Date?

If there is remaining contract value and the MAV Benefit Base is greater than zero on the Latest Annuity Date, you must select one of the following options:

Annuitize the contract value under the contract’s annuity income options; or

If eligible for lifetime withdrawals, even if the MAV Benefit Base equals zero, elect to receive the current Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount on the Latest Annuity Date, paid equally on a quarterly, semi-annual or annual frequency as selected by you, until your death; or

Elect to receive your remaining MAV Benefit Base on the Latest Annuity Date paid over the Minimum Withdrawal Period with payments equal to the current Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount. If withdrawals have not started, your Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount and Minimum Withdrawal Period will be calculated based on the applicable Maximum Annual Withdrawal Percentage; or

Any option mutually agreeable between you and us.

Upon election of any of the above options, the Accumulation Phase of your contract ends and the Income Phase begins. Therefore, if electing Income Payments for the life of the Annuitant, upon death, no benefit remains and the contract and its features will terminate.

Can MarketLock be cancelled?

MarketLock may be cancelled on the 7th contract anniversary, or any contract anniversary thereafter. Once MarketLock is cancelled, you will no longer be charged a fee

and the guarantees under the Benefit are terminated. You may not re-elect MarketLock after cancellation.

Are there circumstances under which MarketLock will automatically terminate?

The feature automatically terminates upon the occurrence of one of the following:

The Minimum Withdrawal Period has been reduced to zero unless conditions for lifetime withdrawals are met; or

Annuitization of the contract; or

Full surrender of the contract; or

Death benefit is paid.

Lifetime withdrawals will not be available in the event of:

An ownership change which results in a change of the older owner;* or

Withdrawals prior to the 65th birthday of the older owner; or

Death of the older owner; or

A Spousal Continuation (upon the death of the older owner); or

A withdrawal in excess of 5% of MAV Benefit Base.**

If a change of ownership occurs from a natural person to a non-natural entity, the original natural older owner must also be the annuitant after the ownership change to prevent termination of lifetime withdrawals. A change of ownership from a non-natural entity to a natural person can only occur if the new natural owner was the original natural older annuitant in order to prevent termination of lifetime withdrawals. Any ownership change is contingent upon prior review and approval by the Company.

If a required minimum distribution withdrawal for this contract exceeds the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount, the ability to receive lifetime withdrawals will not be terminated.

Death Benefits

Certain death benefits are either no longer offered or have changed since first being offered. If your contract was issued prior to May 1, 2009, please see Appendix F for details regarding those features.

We pay a death benefit to your Beneficiary(ies) if you die during the Accumulation Phase. The death benefit will become payable upon death of the following individual.

Owner	Payable Upon Death of
Natural persons	Owner (or first to die, if jointly owned)
Non-natural person (e.g. Trust)	Annuitant

We do not pay a death benefit if:

•

your contract value is reduced to zero; or

•

you die after you begin the Income Phase. Your Beneficiary would receive any remaining guaranteed

annuity income payments in accordance with the annuity income option you selected. Please see ANNUITY INCOME OPTIONS.

Beneficiary Designation

You must notify us in writing of the Beneficiary(ies) who will receive any death benefit payments under your contract. You may change the Beneficiary at any time, unless otherwise specified below.

•

If your contract is jointly owned, the surviving joint Owner must be the sole primary Beneficiary. Any other individual you designate as Beneficiary will be the contingent Beneficiary.

•

If the Owner is a non-natural person then joint Annuitants, if any, shall be each other’s sole primary Beneficiary, except when the Owner is a charitable remainder trust.

•

If the Owner is a trust, whether as an agent for a natural person or otherwise, you should consult with your tax and/or legal adviser to determine whether this contract is an appropriate trust investment.

Death Benefit Processing

We process death benefit requests when we receive all required documentation, including satisfactory proof of death, in Good Order, at the Annuity Service Center.

Satisfactory proof of death includes, but may not be

limited to:

(1)A certified copy of the death certificate; or

(2)A certified copy of a decree of a court of

competent jurisdiction as to the finding of death;

(3)A written statement by a medical doctor who

attended the deceased at the time of death.

When Death Benefits are Calculated

•

All death benefit calculations are made as of the day required documentation is received in Good Order at the Annuity Service Center before Market Close. If the death benefit request is received after Market Close, the death benefit calculation will be made as of the next NYSE business day.

The contract value will remain invested pursuant to the Owner's latest allocation instructions on file subject to the limitations described in this prospectus, until we receive notification of death and/or death claim paperwork in Good Order. Thereafter, a Beneficiary may elect one of the death settlement options by contacting the Annuity Service Center.

If we receive notification of the Owner’s death before any previously requested transaction is completed (including systematic transfer and withdrawal programs), we will cancel the previously requested transaction.

For contracts in which the aggregate of all Gross Purchase Payments in contracts issued by AGL, US Life and/or VALIC to the same Owner/Annuitant are in excess of the Purchase Payments Limit, we reserve the right to limit the death benefit amount that is in excess of contract value at the time we receive all paperwork and satisfactory proof of death. Any limit on the maximum death benefit payable would be mutually agreed upon in writing by you and the Company prior to purchasing the contract.

Death Benefit Settlement Options

Your Beneficiary must elect one of the following settlement options after providing required documentation, including satisfactory proof of death, in Good Order.

•

Lump sum payment; or

•

Annuity Income Option; or

•

Continue the contract as the spousal Beneficiary, or under a Beneficiary continuation option; or

•

Payment option that is mutually agreeable between you and us

In general, the death benefit must be paid within 5 years of the date of death unless the Beneficiary elects to have it payable in the form of an annuity income option. If the Beneficiary elects an annuity income option, it must be paid over the Beneficiary’s life expectancy or a shorter period. Payments associated with such election must begin within one year of death. Federal tax law may limit the Beneficiary’s death benefit and payout options available after your death. Please see ANNUITY INCOME OPTIONS.

Spousal Continuation

The Continuing Spouse may elect to continue the contract after your death. A spousal continuation can only take place once, upon the death of the original Owner of the contract.

Upon election of Spousal Continuation:

•

Generally, the contract, its benefits and elected features, if any, remain the same.

•

Continuing Spouse is subject to the same fees, charges and expenses applicable to the original Owner of the contract. Please see EXPENSES.

•

Continuing Spouse will be subject to the investment risk of Variable Portfolios, as was the original Owner.

Non-spousal joint Owners (including Domestic Partners) are not eligible for spousal continuation, under current tax law.

Upon a spousal continuation, we will contribute to the contract value an amount by which the death benefit that would have been paid to the Beneficiary upon the death of the original Owner, exceeds the contract value as of the Good Order date (“Continuation Contribution”), if any. The Continuation Contribution is not considered a Purchase Payment for the purposes of any other calculations except the death benefit following the Continuing Spouse’s death.

We will process a spousal continuation as of the date we

receive the following at the Annuity Service Center:

•Death Claim form; and

•Satisfactory proof of death of the original Owner.

We will add any Continuation Contribution as of the date we receive both the Continuing Spouse’s written request to continue the contract and satisfactory proof of death of the original Owner (“Continuation Date”) at the Annuity Service Center.

The age of the Continuing Spouse on the Continuation Date will be used to determine any future death benefits under the contract. Please see the SPOUSAL CONTINUATION APPENDIX for a discussion of the death benefit calculations upon a Continuing Spouse’s death.

Please see OPTIONAL LIVING BENEFITS above for information on the effect of Spousal Continuation on these benefits.

Beneficiary Continuation Programs

Please consult a tax adviser regarding tax implications about your particular circumstances if you are considering a Beneficiary Continuation option.

Extended Legacy Program

The Beneficiary to an existing contract issued by the Company may elect the Extended Legacy Program, if available. The program may not be elected in conjunction with any other settlement option.

Upon election of the Extended Legacy Program:

•

The contract continues in Owner’s name for the benefit of the Beneficiary who elected the Extended Legacy Program.

•

The Beneficiary may withdraw all or a portion of the contract value at any time and withdrawals are not subject to withdrawal charges.

•

The Beneficiary may choose to participate in the Systematic Withdrawal Program and the Automatic Asset Rebalancing Program.

Upon election of the Extended Legacy Program, the beneficiary may choose to receive the death benefit under (1) a 5-year settlement option or (2) in the form of withdrawals for a longer period of time:

Under the 5-year settlement option, the Beneficiary may take withdrawals as desired, but the death benefit proceeds must be distributed no later than five years from the date of death of the Owner.

Note: If an IRA Owner died prior to January 1, 2020, the 5-year settlement option is not available if the date of the Owner's death occurred after the required beginning date for distributions.

If the Beneficiary elects to take the death benefit in the form of withdrawals over a longer period of time:

•

Generally, IRS required minimum distributions must be made at least annually over a period not to exceed the Beneficiary’s life expectancy as determined in the calendar year after the Owner’s death, with the flexibility to withdraw more than the IRS required minimum distribution. Certain Beneficiaries may not be able to take minimum distributions over their life expectancy.

•

Payments must begin no later than the first anniversary of death for Non-Qualified contracts or December 31 of the year following the year of the Owner’s death for IRAs.

Note: for IRAs, if the Owner’s death occurred on or after January 1, 2020, choosing to receive the death benefit in the form of withdrawals for a longer period of time is only available for a Spousal Beneficiary or a Non-Spousal Beneficiary who is less than 10 years younger than the IRA Owner. Other Non-Spousal Beneficiaries may instead elect the 5-year settlement option, if available.

If the contract value is less than the death benefit amount as of the date we receive satisfactory proof of death and all required documentation in Good Order, we will increase the

contract value by the amount which the death benefit exceeds contract value.

We will process an Extended Legacy election as of the

date we receive the following in Good Order at the Annuity

Service Center:

•Death Claim form electing Extended Legacy

Program; and

•Satisfactory proof of death of the original Owner.

Upon the Beneficiary’s request to our Annuity Service Center, we will provide a prospectus and Extended Legacy Guide, with important information including expenses, investment options and administrative features.

Restrictions on Extended Legacy Program

•

The Extended Legacy Program cannot be elected with rollover contracts from other companies.

•

No Purchase Payments are permitted.

•

Optional features, including Death Benefits, that may have been elected by the original Owner are not available and any charges associated with these features will no longer be deducted.

•

In the event of the Beneficiary’s death, any remaining contract value will be paid to the person(s) named by the Beneficiary.

•

The contract may not be assigned and ownership may not be changed or jointly owned.

•

Any Fixed Accounts that may have been available to the original Owner will no longer be available for investment.

Investment Options

The Beneficiary may transfer funds among the available investment options.

Death Benefit Defined Terms

The term “Withdrawal Adjustment” is used, if you have elected the living benefit, to describe the way in which the amount of the death benefit will be adjusted for withdrawals depending on when you take a withdrawal and the amount of the withdrawal. If cumulative withdrawals for the current contract year are taken prior to your 81st birthday and are less than or equal to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount, the amount of adjustment will equal the amount of each withdrawal. If a withdrawal is taken prior to your 81st birthday and cumulative withdrawals for the current contract year are in excess of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount, the contract value and the death benefit are first reduced by the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount. The resulting death benefit is further adjusted by the withdrawal amount in excess of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount by the percentage by which the Excess Withdrawal reduced the resulting contract value. If a withdrawal is taken on or after your 81st birthday, the amount of adjustment is determined by the percentage by which the withdrawal reduced the contract value.

The term “withdrawals” as used in describing the death benefit options is defined as withdrawals and the fees and charges applicable to those withdrawals.

Death Benefit

The Company does not accept Gross Purchase Payments from anyone age 86 or older. Therefore, the death benefit calculations assume that no Gross Purchase Payments are received on or after your 86th birthday.

The death benefit is calculated differently depending on whether you have also elected the Living Benefit described above.

Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit

The following describes the death benefit without election of the Living Benefit:

If the contract is issued prior to your 83rd birthday, the death benefit is the greatest of:

Contract value; or

Gross Purchase Payments, reduced for any withdrawals in the same proportion that the contract value was reduced on the date of such withdrawal; or

Maximum anniversary value on any contract anniversary prior to the earlier of your 83rd birthday or date of death. The anniversary value equals the contract value on a contract anniversary, plus any Purchase Payments received since that anniversary, and reduced for any withdrawal since that contract anniversary in the same proportion that the contract value was reduced on the date of such withdrawal.

If the contract is issued on or after your 83rd birthday but before your 86th birthday, the death benefit is greater of:

Contract value; or

The lesser of:

Gross Purchase Payments, reduced for any withdrawals in the same proportion that the contract value was reduced on the date of such withdrawal; or

125% of contract value.

The following describes the death benefit with election of the Living Benefit:

The death benefit is the greatest of:

Contract value; or

Gross Purchase Payments reduced by:

any Withdrawal Adjustments, if the Living Benefit has not been terminated: or

any Withdrawal Adjustments, prior to the date the Living Benefit is terminated; and reduced for any withdrawals in the same proportion that the withdrawal reduced the contract value on the date of such withdrawal on or after the date the Living Benefit is terminated; or

Maximum anniversary value on any contract anniversary prior to the earlier of your 83rd birthday or date of death, plus Purchase Payments received since that contract anniversary; and reduced by:

any Withdrawal Adjustments since that contract anniversary, if the Living Benefit has not been terminated: or

any Withdrawal Adjustments since that contract anniversary, prior to the date the Living Benefit is terminated; and reduced for any withdrawals

in the same proportion that the withdrawal reduced the contract value on the date of such withdrawal on or after the date the Living Benefit is terminated.

The anniversary value for any year is equal to the contract value on the applicable anniversary.

If the contract is issued on or after your 83rd birthday but prior to your 86th birthday, the death benefit is the greater of:

Contract value; or

The lesser of:

Gross Purchase Payments, reduced for any withdrawals in the same proportion that the contract value was reduced on the date of such withdrawal; or

125% of contract value.

Please see APPENDIX I for examples of how your death benefit is calculated.

Expenses

We may deduct the following fees and expenses if applicable from your contract, as described later in this section.

•

Base Contract Expenses

•

Sales Charge

•

Withdrawal Charges

•

Underlying Fund Expenses

•

Contract Maintenance Fee

•

Transfer Fee

•

Optional Living Benefit Fee

Fees and expenses associated with your contract reduce your investment return. Before purchasing this contract, you should consider the effect of fees and expenses on your investment. You should fully discuss this decision with your financial representative. We will not increase certain contract fees, such as the Base Contract Expense for the life of your contract. Underlying Fund investment management fees may increase or decrease. Some states may require that we charge less than the amounts described below. Please see APPENDIX C - STATE CONTRACT AVAILABILITY AND/OR VARIABILITY for state-specific expenses.

We intend to profit from the sale of the contracts. Our profit may be derived as a result of a variety of pricing factors including but not limited to the fees and charges assessed under the contract and/or amounts we may receive from an Underlying Fund, its investment advisor and/or subadvisors (or affiliates thereof). Please see PAYMENTS IN CONNECTION WITH DISTRIBUTION OF THE CONTRACT below. The fees, charges, amounts received from the Underlying Funds (or affiliates thereof) and any resulting profit may be used for any corporate purpose including supporting marketing, distribution and/or administration of the contract and, in its role as an intermediary, the Underlying Funds.

Base Contract Expenses

0.85%

(annualized charge as a percentage of the average daily ending net asset value allocated to Variable Portfolios)

The Base Contract Expense (also referred to as Separate Account Charge) compensates the Company for the mortality and expense risk and the costs of contract distribution assumed by the Company.

Generally, the mortality risks assumed by the Company arise from its contractual obligations to make annuity income payments after the Annuity Date and to provide a death benefit. The expense risk assumed by the Company is that the costs of administering the contracts and the Separate Account will exceed the amount received from the fees and charges assessed under the contract. There may not necessarily be a relationship between the administrative charge imposed under the contract and the amount of expenses that may be attributable to the contract.

If these charges do not cover all of our expenses, we will pay the difference. Likewise, if these charges exceed our expenses, we will keep the difference. The mortality and expense risk charge is expected to result in a profit. Profit may be used for any cost or expense including supporting distribution. Please see PAYMENTS IN CONNECTION WITH DISTRIBUTION OF THE CONTRACT below.

If your Beneficiary elects to take the death benefit amount under the Extended Legacy Program, we will deduct an annual Base Contract Expense of 0.85% of the average daily ending net asset value allocated to the Variable Portfolios. Please see Extended Legacy Program under DEATH BENEFITS.

Sales Charge

A sales charge is deducted from all initial and subsequent Gross Purchase Payments you make to your contract. We deduct the sales charge from each Gross Purchase Payment before it is allocated to a Variable Portfolio and/or available Fixed Account option. The sales charge equals a percentage of each Gross Purchase Payment and is based on your investment amount at the time each Gross Purchase Payment is received by us, according to the schedule below. We call the investment levels in the schedule below “breakpoints.” You can reduce your sales charge by increasing your investment amount to reach the next breakpoint. Please see EXAMPLE OF SALES CHARGE CALCULATION FOR CONTRACTS ISSUED ON OR AFTER NOVEMBER 9, 2009 in APPENDIX H.

Your investment amount is determined on the day we receive a Gross Purchase Payment. Your initial investment amount is equal to your initial Gross Purchase Payment. Thereafter, your investment amount is equal to the sum of:

(1)

The subsequent Gross Purchase Payment when received by us; and,

(2)

The greater of:

(a)

The contract value on the date that subsequent Gross Purchase Payment is received, or;

(b)

The sum of all previous Gross Purchase Payments made into the contract less any withdrawals.

Sales Charge Schedule

TOTAL INVESTMENT AMOUNT RECEIVED	Maximum Sales Charge as a Percentage of Gross Purchase Payment Invested
Less than $50,000 $ 50,000-$99,999 $100,000-$249,999 $250,000-$499,999 $500,000-$999,999 $1,000,000 and over*	5.75% 4.75% 3.50% 2.50% 2.00% 0.50%

Additionally, a withdrawal charge of 0.50% only applies to Gross Purchase Payment(s) that qualify for the $1,000,000 or more investment amount level, if the Gross Purchase Payment(s) are invested less than 12 months at the time of withdrawal. Please see PURCHASE PAYMENTS SUBJECT TO A WITHDRAWAL CHARGE below.

We recommend that you submit each Gross Purchase Payment through your broker-dealer in order to guarantee that your investment amount is calculated as defined above. If you choose to submit your Gross Purchase Payment directly to us, we recommend that you call our Annuity Service Center and/or review your financial confirmation to ensure that the appropriate sales charge was applied.

If your contract was issued prior to November 9, 2009, please see SALES CHARGE AND RIGHTS OF ACCUMULATION FOR CONTRACTS ISSUED PRIOR TO NOVEMBER 9, 2009 in APPENDIX G.

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or terminate this program at any time.

Letter of Intent

The Letter of Intent feature lets you establish an investment goal up front so that all Gross Purchase Payments you make during a designated 13-month period receive the sales charge corresponding to your stated investment goal. When you submit a signed Letter of Intent, we use the amount of your stated investment goal to determine the sales charge on any Gross Purchase Payment you make during the 13-month period as though the total amount of Gross Purchase Payments (your investment goal) is invested as one lump-sum.

Gross Purchase Payments made within 90 days prior to our receipt of your Letter of Intent (but not prior to the issue date of your contract) may count towards meeting your investment goal. If you use prior Gross Purchase Payments towards satisfying your investment goal, the Letter of Intent start date will be backdated to the receipt date of the earliest prior Gross Purchase Payment. If you wish to use prior Gross Purchase Payments towards meeting your investment goal, you or your financial representative must inform us of such prior Gross Purchase Payments at the time you submit your Letter of Intent.

Example:

Assume as part of your contract application you sign a Letter of Intent indicating an investment goal of $50,000 over a 13-month period. The sales charge corresponding to your investment goal is 4.75%. You make an initial Gross Purchase Payment of $20,000. We deduct a reduced sales charge of 4.75% from your initial Gross Purchase Payment. Ten months later you make a subsequent Gross Purchase Payment of $30,000. We again deduct a reduced sales charge of

4.75% from your Gross Purchase Payment. Without a Letter of Intent the sales charge for the first Gross Purchase Payment would have been 5.75%.

You may submit a Letter of Intent at any time. If you choose to submit a Letter of Intent when you apply for the contract, you must notify us on the application and the appropriate form, if applicable that is submitted to us. If you elect to submit a Letter of Intent after your contract is issued, you must complete the appropriate form, which is available from your financial representative or our Annuity Service Center.

You are not obligated to reach your investment goal. If you do not achieve your investment goal by the end of the 13-month period or if you surrender or annuitize your contract without having reached your investment goal, we will deduct from your contract the difference between: (1) the sales charge corresponding to the amount of Gross Purchase Payments made to your contract during the 13-month period; and (2) the sales charge you actually paid, regardless of whether the original sales charge was based on your Letter of Intent investment goal. The sales charges are deducted proportionately from your then current contract value. We will not deduct this amount if a death benefit is paid on the contract prior to the end of the 13-month period.

You may increase your investment goal by sending us a written request at any time during the 13-month period. Gross Purchase Payments made from the date of such notice through the end of the original 13-month period will receive any applicable reduction in sales charges. Sales charges on Gross Purchase Payments received prior to the notice to increase your investment goal will not be retroactively reduced.

We reserve the right to modify, suspend or terminate the Letter of Intent provision at any time.

Purchase Payments Subject to a Withdrawal Charge

Each Gross Purchase Payment that qualifies for the $1,000,000 or more breakpoint is also subject to a withdrawal charge of 0.50%. The withdrawal charge applies to withdrawals of such Gross Purchase Payments or any portion thereof, that is invested less than 12 months prior to such withdrawal.

Assume that at contract issue, you make an initial Gross Purchase Payment of $800,000. We deduct a sales charge of 2.00%. Three months later, you make a subsequent Gross Purchase Payment of $400,000. Assuming a flat market, the Investment Amount level is now $1,200,000 ($800,000 + $400,000). The second Gross Purchase Payment puts your contract in the Investment Amount of $1,000,000 or more. We deduct a sales charge of 0.50% on $400,000 and will charge a withdrawal charge of 0.50% if you take a withdrawal from this Gross Purchase Payment if invested less than 12 months. Four months later, you take a withdrawal of $700,000 which will reduce your contract value to $500,000 ($1,200,000 – $700,000). We do not charge a withdrawal charge on this withdrawal. Two months later, you take a withdrawal of $400,000 which will reduce your contract value to $100,000 ($500,000 – $400,000). We will charge a withdrawal charge of $1,500 (0.50% of $300,000 since $100,000 is part of the first Gross Purchase Payment).

When calculating the withdrawal charge, we treat withdrawals as coming first from the Gross Purchase Payments that have been in your contract the longest, which means the Purchase Payments that have the lowest Withdrawal Charge percentages. However, for tax purposes, per IRS requirements, your withdrawals are considered as coming first from taxable earnings, then from Gross Purchase Payments, which are not taxable if your contract is Non-Qualified. Please see ACCESS TO YOUR MONEY above.

If you take a partial withdrawal, you can choose whether any applicable withdrawal charges are deducted from the amount withdrawn or from the contract value remaining after the amount withdrawn. If you fully surrender your contract value, we deduct any applicable withdrawal charges from the amount surrendered.

We will not assess a withdrawal charge when we pay a death benefit or when you annuitize your contract.

Withdrawals made prior to age 59½ may result in tax penalties. Please see TAXES below.

Underlying Fund Expenses

There are deductions from and expenses paid out of the assets of each Underlying Fund. Detailed information about these deductions and expenses can be found in the prospectuses for the Underlying Funds.

Investment Management Fees

Investment management fees are set by the Underlying Funds’ own board of directors, and may vary. These fees are not fixed or specified in your annuity contract.

Each Variable Portfolio purchases shares of a corresponding Underlying Fund. The Accumulation Unit value for each purchased Variable Portfolio share reflects the investment management fees and other expenses of the corresponding Underlying Fund. These fees may vary. They are not fixed or specified in your annuity contract, rather the fees are set by the Underlying Funds’ own board of directors.

12b-1 Fees

Certain Underlying Funds available in this product assess a 12b-1 fee of 0.25% of the average daily net assets allocated to those Underlying Funds. Over time these fees will increase the cost of your investment.

There is an annualized 0.25% fee applicable to Class 3 shares of Seasons Series Trust and SunAmerica Series Trust, Series II shares of AIM Invesco Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), Class 2 shares of American Funds Insurance Series and Franklin Templeton Variable Insurance Products Trust and Class Service Shares of Goldman Sachs Variable Insurance Trust. This amount is generally used to pay financial intermediaries for services provided over the life of your contract.

The 12b-1 fees compensate us for costs associated with the servicing of these shares, including, but not limited to, reimbursing us for expenditures we make to registered representatives in selling firms for providing services to contract Owners who are indirect beneficial Owners of these shares and for maintaining contract Owner accounts.

There are deductions from and expenses paid out of the assets of each Underlying Fund. Detailed information

about these deductions and expenses can be found in the prospectuses for the Underlying Funds.

Contract Maintenance Fee

During the Accumulation Phase, we deduct a contract maintenance fee of $35 from your contract once per year on your contract anniversary. This charge compensates us for the cost of administering your contract. The fee is deducted proportionately from your contract value on your contract anniversary by redeeming the number of Accumulation Units invested in the Variable Portfolios and the dollar amount invested in available Fixed Accounts which in total equal the amount of the fee. If you withdraw your entire contract value, we will deduct the contract maintenance fee from that withdrawal.

If your contract value is $50,000 or more on your contract anniversary date, we currently waive this fee. This waiver is subject to change without notice.

Please see APPENDIX C — STATE CONTRACT AVAILABILITY AND/OR VARIABILITY for the state-specific Contract Maintenance Fee.

Transfer Fee

After 15 Transfers

$25

We permit 15 free transfers between investment options each contract year. We charge you $25 for each additional transfer that contract year. The transfer fee compensates us for the cost of processing your transfer.
In Pennsylvania and Texas, any transfer over the limit of 15 will incur a $10 transfer fee.

Optional MarketLock Income Plus Fee

The annualized MarketLock Income Plus fee will be calculated as a percentage of the Income Base for all years in which the feature is in effect. The fee for MarketLock Income Plus depends on whether you elect to cover one life or two lives. The fee will be calculated as a percentage of the Income Base and deducted quarterly from your contract value, starting on the first quarter following the Effective Date and ending upon termination of the feature. You will be notified of any change in fee prior to the First, Second and Subsequent Extensions. We guarantee that the current fee reflected below will not increase by more than 0.25% at the time of First Extension.

The fee is deducted proportionately from your contract value by redeeming the number of Accumulation Units invested in the Variable Portfolios and the value in the Fixed Accounts which in total equal the amount of the fee. If your contract value falls to zero before the feature has been terminated, the fee will no longer be assessed. We will not assess the quarterly fee if you annuitize your contract or if a death benefit is paid before the end of a contract quarter. If the feature is still in effect and you surrender your contract, we will assess a pro-rata fee if you surrender your contract before the end of a contract quarter. The pro-rata fee is calculated by multiplying the full quarterly fee by the number of days between the date the fee was last assessed

and the date of surrender divided by the number of days in that contract quarter. The fee is as follows:

All years in which the feature is in effect	Annualized Fee
For One Covered Person	0.85% of Income Base
For Two Covered Persons	1.10% of Income Base

Optional MarketLock For Life Plus Fee

The annualized MarketLock For Life Plus fee will be calculated as a percentage of the Income Base for all years in which the feature is in effect. The fee for MarketLock For Life Plus depends on whether you elect to cover one life or two lives. The fee will be calculated and deducted quarterly from your contract value, starting on the first quarter following the contract issue date and ending upon termination of the Benefit.

The fee is deducted proportionately from your contract value by redeeming the number of Accumulation Units invested in the Variable Portfolios and the dollar amount invested in the available Fixed Accounts which in total equal the amount of the fee. If your contract value falls to zero before the feature has been terminated, the fee will no longer be assessed. We will not assess the quarterly fee if you annuitize your contract before the end of a contract quarter. If the feature is still in effect and you surrender your contract, we will assess a pro-rata fee if you surrender your contract before the end of a contract quarter. The pro-rata fee is calculated by multiplying the full quarterly fee by the number of days between the date the fee was last assessed and the date of surrender divided by the number of days in a contract quarter. The fee is as follows:

Number of Covered Persons	Annualized Fee
For One Covered Person	0.75% of Income Base
For Two Covered Persons	1.00% of Income Base

If you purchased your contract prior to May 1, 2008, please see APPENDIX D – LIVING BENEFIT PROVISIONS FOR CONTRACTS ISSUED PRIOR TO MAY 1, 2008 for the fee applicable to this feature.

Optional MarketLock Fee

The annualized MarketLock fee will be calculated as a percentage of the MAV Benefit Base. The fee will be deducted quarterly from your contract value starting on the first quarter following the contract issue date and ending upon the termination of the feature. The fee is deducted proportionately from your contract value by redeeming the number of Accumulation Units invested in the Variable Portfolios and the dollar amount invested in available Fixed Accounts which in total equal the amount of the fee. If your contract value and/or MAV Benefit Base falls to zero before the feature has been terminated, the fee will no longer be assessed. However, if the MAV Benefit Base is adjusted upwards at a later date because the current anniversary value is greater than both the current and any previous anniversary values, the calculation and deduction of the fee will resume. We will not assess the quarterly fee if you

surrender or annuitize before the end of a quarter. The fee is as follows:

	Annualized Fee
All years in which the feature is in effect	0.50% of MAV Benefit Base

Premium Tax

Certain states charge the Company a tax on Purchase Payments that ranges from 0% to 3.5%. Some states assess this premium tax when the contract is issued while other states only assess the tax upon annuitization. The Company may advance any tax amount due, but we will deduct such amount from your contract value only when and if you begin the Income Phase (annuitization).

Income Taxes

We do not currently deduct income taxes from your contract. We reserve the right to do so in the future.

Reduction or Elimination of Fees, Expenses and Additional Amounts Credited

Sometimes sales of contracts to groups of similarly situated individuals may lower our fees and expenses. We determine which groups are eligible for this treatment. Some of the criteria we evaluate to make a determination are size of the group; amount of expected Purchase Payments; relationship existing between us and the prospective purchaser; length of time a group of contracts is expected to remain active; purpose of the purchase and whether that purpose increases the likelihood that our expenses will be reduced; and/or any other factors that we believe indicate that fees and expenses may be reduced.

The Company may make such a determination regarding sales to its employees, its affiliates’ employees and employees of currently contracted broker-dealers; its registered representatives; and immediate family members of all of those described.

Payments in connection with distribution of the contract

Payments We Make

We make payments in connection with the distribution of the contracts that generally fall into the three categories below.

As a result of the payments that financial representatives may receive from us or other companies, some financial representatives may have a financial incentive to offer you a new contract in place of the one you already own. You should consider exchanging a contract you already own only if you determine, after comparing the features, fees, and risks of both contracts, that it is better for you to purchase the new contract rather than continue to own your existing contract.

Commissions. Registered representatives of affiliated and unaffiliated broker-dealers (“selling firms”) licensed under federal securities laws and state insurance laws sell the contract to the public. The selling firms have entered into written selling agreements with the Company and Corebridge Capital Services, Inc., the distributor of the contracts. We pay commissions to the selling firms for the

sale of your contract. The selling firms are paid commissions for the promotion and sale of the contracts according to one or more schedules. The amount and timing of commissions will vary depending on the selling firm and its selling agreement with us. For example, as one option, we may pay upfront commission only, up to a maximum 5.00% of each Gross Purchase Payment you invest (which may include promotional amounts we may pay periodically as commission specials). Another option may be a lower upfront commission on each Gross Purchase Payment, with a trail commission of up to a maximum 0.25% of contract value annually for the life of the contract.

The registered representative who sells you the contract typically receives a portion of the compensation we pay to his/her selling firm, depending on the agreement between the selling firms and its registered representative and their internal compensation program. We are not involved in determining your registered representatives’ compensation.

Additional Cash Compensation. We may enter into agreements to pay selling firms support fees in the form of additional cash compensation (“revenue sharing”). These revenue sharing payments may be intended to reimburse the selling firms for specific expenses incurred or may be based on sales, certain assets under management, longevity of assets invested with us and/or a flat fee. Asset-based payments primarily create incentives to service and maintain previously sold contracts. Sales-based payments primarily create incentives to make new sales of contracts.

These revenue sharing payments may be consideration for, among other things, product placement/preference and visibility, greater access to train and educate the selling firm’s registered representatives about our contracts, our participation in sales conferences and educational seminars and for selling firms to perform due diligence on our contracts. The amount of these fees may be tied to the anticipated level of our access in that selling firm.

We enter into such revenue sharing arrangements in our discretion and we may negotiate customized arrangements with selling firms, including affiliated and non-affiliated selling firms based on various factors. These special compensation arrangements are not offered to all selling firms and the terms of such arrangements may vary between selling firms depending on, among other things, the level and type of marketing and distribution support provided, assets under management and the volume and size of the sales of our contracts.

If allowed by his or her selling firm, a registered representative or other eligible person may purchase a contract on a basis in which an additional amount is credited to the contract. Please see REDUCTION OR ELIMINATION OF FEES, EXPENSES AND ADDITIONAL AMOUNTS CREDITED above.

We provide a list of firms to whom we paid annual amounts greater than $15,000 under these revenue sharing arrangements in 2025 in the Statement of Additional Information which is available upon request.

Non-Cash Compensation. Some registered representatives and their supervisors may receive various types of non-cash compensation such as gifts, promotional items and entertainment in connection with our marketing efforts. We may also pay for registered representatives to attend

educational and/or business seminars. Any such compensation is paid in accordance with SEC and FINRA rules.

We do not assess a specific charge directly to you or your Separate Account assets in order to cover commissions and other sales expenses and incentives we pay. However, we anticipate recovering these amounts from our profits which are derived from the fees and charges collected under the contract. We hope to benefit from these revenue sharing arrangements through increased sales of our contracts and greater customer service support.

Revenue sharing arrangements may provide selling firms and/or their registered representatives with an incentive to favor sales of our contracts over other variable annuity contracts (or other investments) with respect to which a selling firm does not receive the same level of additional compensation. You should discuss with your selling firm and/or registered representative how they are compensated for sales of a contract and/or any resulting real or perceived conflicts of interest. You may wish to take such revenue sharing arrangements into account when considering or evaluating any recommendation relating to this contract.

Payments We Receive

We and our affiliates may directly or indirectly receive revenue sharing payments from the Trusts, their investment advisors, subadvisors and/or distributors (or affiliates thereof), in connection with certain administrative, marketing and other services we provide and related expenses we incur. The availability of these revenue sharing arrangements creates an incentive for us to seek and offer Underlying Funds (and classes of shares of such Underlying Funds) that pay us higher amounts. Other Underlying Funds (or available classes of shares) may have lower fees and better overall investment performance. Not all Trusts pay the same amount of revenue sharing. Therefore, the amount of fees we collect may be greater or smaller based on the Underlying Funds you select.

We and our affiliates generally receive three kinds of payments described below.

Rule 12b-1 or Service Fees. We receive 12b-1 fees of up to 0.25% or service fees of up to 0.50% of the average daily net assets in certain Underlying Funds. These fees are deducted directly from the assets of the Underlying Funds. Please see EXPENSES above.

Administrative, Marketing and Support Service Fees. We receive compensation of up to 0.70% annually based on assets under management from certain Trusts’ investment advisors, subadvisors and/or distributors (or affiliates thereof). These payments may be derived, in whole or in part, from the profits the investment advisor realizes on the investment management fees deducted from assets of the Underlying Funds or wholly from the assets of the Underlying Funds. Contract Owners, through their indirect investment in the Trusts, bear the costs of these investment management fees, which in turn will reduce the return on your investment. The payments we receive are generally based on assets under management from certain Trusts’ investment advisors or their affiliates and vary by Trust. Some investment advisors, subadvisors and/or distributors (or affiliates thereof) pay us more than others. The amount may be significant.

Other Payments. Certain investment advisors, subadvisors and/or distributors (or affiliates thereof) may help offset the costs we incur for marketing activities and training to support sales of the Underlying Funds in the contract. These amounts are paid voluntarily and may provide such advisors, subadvisors and/or distributors access to national and regional sales conferences attended by our employees and registered representatives. The amounts paid depend on the nature of the meetings, the number of meetings attended, the costs expected to be incurred and the level of the advisor’s, subadvisor’s or distributor’s participation.

In addition, we (and our affiliates) may receive occasional gifts, entertainment or other compensation as an incentive to market the Underlying Funds and to cooperate with their marketing efforts. As a result of these payments, the investment advisors, subadvisors and/or distributors (or affiliates thereof) may benefit from increased access to our wholesalers and to our affiliates involved in the distribution of the contract.

Annuity Income Options

The Income Phase

What is the Income Phase?

During the Income Phase, we use the money accumulated in your contract to make regular payments to you. This is known as “annuitizing” your contract. At this point, the Accumulation Phase ends. You will no longer be able to take withdrawals of contract value and all other features and benefits of your contract will terminate, including your ability to surrender your contract.

Beginning the Income Phase is an important event. You have different options available to you. You should discuss your options with your financial representative and/or tax adviser so that together you may make the best decision for your particular circumstances.

When does the Income Phase begin?

Generally, you can annuitize your contract any time after your second contract anniversary (“Annuity Date”) and on or before the Latest Annuity Date, defined below, by completing and mailing the Annuity Option Selection Form to our Annuity Service Center.

If you do not request to annuitize your contract on the Annuity Date of your choice, your contract will be annuitized on the Latest Annuity Date. Your Latest Annuity Date is defined as the later of the first NYSE business day of the month following your 95th birthday or 10 years after your contract issue date, whichever is later. If your contract is jointly owned, the Latest Annuity Date is based on the older Owner’s date of birth.

How do I elect to begin the Income Phase?

You must select one of the annuity income payment options, listed below, that best meets your needs by mailing a completed Annuity Option Selection Form to our Annuity Service Center. If you do not select an annuity income payment option, your contract will be annuitized in accordance with the default annuity income payment option specified under Annuity Income Options below.

What is the impact on the living and death benefits if I annuitize?

If you annuitize, you may choose to take annuity income payments or withdrawals under your Living Benefit. Prior to annuitizing, you should seek advice on whether taking annuity income payments under the contract or guaranteed withdrawals under a Living Benefit are more advantageous to you. Upon annuitizing the contract, the death benefit will terminate. If your contract value is reduced to zero prior to annuitization as a result of receiving guaranteed withdrawals under the Living Benefit, you will receive your Protected Income Payment under the Living Benefit. Please see OPTIONAL LIVING BENEFITs and DEATH BENEFITS above.

Annuity Income Options

You must send a written request to our Annuity Service Center to select an annuity income option. Once you begin receiving annuity income payments, you cannot change your annuity income option. If you elect to receive annuity income payments but do not select an annuity income option, your annuity income payments shall be in accordance with Option 4 for a period of 10 years; for annuity income payments based on joint lives, the default is Option 3 for a period of 10 years. Generally, the amount of each annuity income payment will be less with greater frequency of payments or if you chose a longer period certain guarantee.

We base our calculation of annuity income payments on the life expectancy of the Annuitant and the annuity rates set forth in your contract. In most contracts, the Owner and Annuitant are the same person. The Owner may change the Annuitant if different from the Owner at any time prior to the Annuity Date. The Owner must notify us if the Annuitant dies before the Annuity Date and designate a new Annuitant. If we do not receive a new Annuitant election, the Owner may not select an annuity income option based on the life of the Annuitant.

If the contract is owned by a non-natural Owner, the Annuitant cannot be changed after the contract has been issued and the death of the Annuitant will trigger the payment of the death benefit.

If you elect a lifetime based annuity income option without a guaranteed period, your annuity income payments depend on longevity only. That means that you may potentially not live long enough to receive an annuity income payment. If you die before the first annuity income payment, no annuity income payments will be made.

Annuity Income Option 1 – Life Income Annuity

This option provides annuity income payments for the life of the Annuitant. Annuity income payments end when the Annuitant dies.

Annuity Income Option 2 – Joint and Survivor Life Income Annuity

This option provides annuity income payments for the life of the Annuitant and for the life of another designated person. Upon the death of either person, we will continue to make annuity income payments during the lifetime of the survivor. Annuity income payments end when the survivor dies. For Qualified contracts, under certain circumstances, the survivor’s annuity income payments may be limited based on the Internal Revenue Code.

Annuity Income Option 3 – Joint and Survivor Life Income Annuity with 10 or 20 Years Guaranteed

This option is similar to Option 2 above, with an additional guarantee of payments for at least 10 or 20 years, depending on the period chosen. If the Annuitant and the survivor die before all of the guaranteed annuity income payments have been made, the remaining annuity income payments are made to the Beneficiary under your contract. A guarantee of payments greater than 10 years may not be available to all Beneficiaries. For Qualified contracts, under certain circumstances the survivor's annuity income payments may be limited based on the Internal Revenue Code.

Annuity Income Option 4 – Life Income Annuity with 10 or 20 Years Guaranteed

This option is similar to income Option 1 above with an additional guarantee of payments for at least 10 or 20 years, depending on the period chosen. If the Annuitant dies before all guaranteed annuity income payments are made, the remaining annuity income payments are made to the Beneficiary under your contract. A guarantee of payments greater than 10 years may not be available to all Beneficiaries. For Qualified contracts, under certain circumstances the Beneficiary’s annuity income payments may be limited based on the Internal Revenue Code.

Annuity Income Option 5 – Income for a Specified Period

This option provides annuity income payments for a guaranteed period ranging from 5 to 30 years, depending on the period chosen. If the Annuitant dies before all the guaranteed annuity income payments are made, the remaining annuity income payments are made to the Beneficiary under your contract. A guarantee of payments for more than 10 years may not be available to all Beneficiaries. For Qualified contracts, under certain circumstances the Beneficiary’s annuity income payments may be limited based on the Internal Revenue Code. Additionally, if variable annuity income payments are elected under this option, you (or the Beneficiary under the contract if the Annuitant dies prior to all guaranteed annuity income payments being made) may redeem any remaining guaranteed variable annuity income payments after the Annuity Date. Upon your request, the contract may be commuted if a period certain annuitization income option has been elected. The amount available upon such redemption would be the discounted present value of any remaining guaranteed annuity income payments that would reflect the fluctuating trading costs for liquidating the securities in place to pay for these contractual obligations. The detrimental impact depends on the nature of the securities (and which may include short-term, medium term, and/or long-term investments) resulting in varying losses to the Company.

The value of an Annuity Unit, regardless of the option chosen, takes into account Base Contract Expense which includes a mortality and expense risk charge. Since Option 5 does not contain an element of mortality risk, no benefit is derived from this charge.

Please see the Statement of Additional Information for a more detailed discussion of the annuity income options.

Fixed or Variable Annuity Income Payments

You can choose annuity income payments that are fixed, variable or both. Unless otherwise elected, if at the date when annuity income payments begin you are invested in the Variable Portfolios only, your annuity income payments will be variable and if your money is only in Fixed Accounts at that time, your annuity income payments will be fixed in amount. Further, if you are invested in both Fixed Accounts and Variable Portfolios when annuity income payments begin, your payments will be fixed and variable, unless otherwise elected. If annuity income payments are fixed, the Company guarantees the amount of each payment. If the annuity income payments are variable, the amount is not guaranteed and may fluctuate as described under ANNUITY INCOME PAYMENTS below.

Annuity Income Payments

We make annuity income payments on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis as elected by you. You instruct us to send you a check or to have the payments directly deposited into your bank account. If state law allows, we distribute annuities with a contract value of $5,000 or less in a lump sum. Also, if state law allows and the selected annuity income option results in annuity income payments of less than $50 per payment, we may decrease the frequency of payments.

If you are invested in the Variable Portfolios after the Annuity Date, your annuity income payments vary depending on the following:

•

for life income options, your age when annuity income payments begin; and

•

the contract value attributable to the Variable Portfolios on the Annuity Date; and

•

the 3.5% assumed investment rate used in the annuity table for the contract; and

•

the performance of the Variable Portfolios in which you are invested during the time you receive annuity income payments.

If you are invested in both the Fixed Accounts and the Variable Portfolios after the Annuity Date, the allocation of funds between the Fixed Accounts and Variable Portfolios also impacts the amount of your annuity income payments.

The value of fixed annuity income payments, if elected, will not be less than 1%. The value of variable annuity income payments, if elected, is based on an assumed interest rate (“AIR”) of 3.5% compounded annually. Variable annuity income payments generally increase or decrease from one annuity income payment date to the next based upon the performance of the applicable Variable Portfolios. If the performance of the Variable Portfolios selected is equal to the AIR, the annuity income payments will remain constant. If performance of Variable Portfolios is greater than the AIR, the annuity income payments will increase and if it is less than the AIR, the annuity income payments will decline.

Deferment of Payments

We may defer making fixed payments for up to six months, or less if required by law. Interest is credited to you during the deferral period. Please see ACCESS TO YOUR MONEY above for a discussion of when payments from a Variable Portfolio may be suspended or postponed.

Taxes

The federal income tax treatment of annuity contracts or retirement programs is complex and sometimes uncertain. The discussion below is intended for general informational purposes only and is not intended as tax advice, either general or individualized, nor should be interpreted as providing any predictions or guarantees of a particular tax treatment. This discussion is based upon the Company’s understanding of current tax rules and interpretations. Finally, this discussion does not address all federal income tax consequences of transactions (including consequences of sales to foreign individuals or entities), state or local tax consequences, estate or gift tax consequences, or the impact of foreign tax laws, associated with your contract.

Tax laws are subject to legislative modification, and while many such modifications will have only a prospective application, it is important to recognize that a change could have a retroactive effect as well. As a result, you should consult a tax adviser about the application of tax rules found in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“IRC” or “the Code”), Treasury Regulations, applicable Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) guidance, and any regulatory developments to your individual situation. We do not guarantee the tax status or treatment of your annuity contract.

Tax rules vary, depending on whether the contract is offered under your employer-sponsored retirement program or arrangement, an individual retirement account or annuity (a Qualified contract), or a Non-Qualified contract.

The contracts are used under many types of retirement arrangements, including the following:

•

IRC section 403(b) annuities for employees of public schools, community colleges, colleges and universities, and other section 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organizations;

•

IRC section 401(a), 403(a), and 401(k) qualified plans (including plans for self-employed individuals);

•

IRC section 408(b) traditional IRAs;

•

IRC section 408A Roth IRAs;

•

IRC section 457 deferred compensation plans of governmental and certain tax-exempt employers;

•

IRC section 408(k) SEPs and SARSEPs; and

•

IRC section 408(p) SIMPLE retirement accounts.

Contracts purchased under these retirement arrangements described above (“Qualified Arrangement”) generally are referred to in this prospectus as “Qualified contracts.” Contracts that are not purchased in connection with a Qualified Arrangement generally are referred to in this prospectus as “Non-Qualified contracts.” Note that there are certain types of plans that are referred to as non-qualified, e.g. non-qualified deferred compensation plans under IRC section 457, that, for purposes of this prospectus, are considered Qualified Arrangements. See below for further details.

Non-Qualified Contracts

Tax Status of Non-Qualified Contracts

In General

Generally, the increases in the value of a contract are not taxed until a distribution occurs. The taxable portion of the distribution is taxed at ordinary income tax rates. However, this tax deferral is only available if the contract satisfies certain federal tax rules and requirements, described next. We do not guarantee the tax status or treatment of your contract. The remainder of the discussion assumes that the contract will be treated as an annuity contract for federal income tax purposes.

Late Annuity Start Date

If the contract’s annuity start date occurs (or is scheduled to occur) at a time when the Owner has reached an advanced age, it is possible that the contract would not be treated as an annuity for federal income tax purposes. In that event, the income and gains under the contract could be currently includable in the Owner’s income.

Diversification

For a contract to be treated as a variable annuity for federal income tax purposes, the underlying investments under the variable annuity must be “adequately diversified”. Treasury Regulations provide standards that must be met to comply with the rules. Under the regulations, an investment portfolio will be deemed adequately diversified if (1) no more than 55% of the value of the total assets of the portfolio is represented by any one investment; (2) no more than 70% of the value of the total assets of the portfolio is represented by any two investments; (3) no more than 80% of the value of the total assets of the portfolio is represented by any three investments; and (4) no more than 90% of the value of the total assets of the portfolio is represented by any four investments.

If the variable annuity fails to comply with these diversification standards, you could be required to pay tax currently on the excess of the contract value over the contract Purchase Payments. We expect that the manager of the Underlying Funds monitors the Underlying Funds to comply with these Treasury Regulations.

Investor Control

Under certain circumstances, you, and not the Company, could be treated as the owner of the assets held in the Separate Account under your Non-Qualified contract, based on the degree of control you exercise over the underlying investments. If this occurs, you may be currently taxed on income and gains attributable to the assets under the contract rather than at the time of withdrawal.

There is little guidance in this area, and the determination of whether you possess sufficient incidents of ownership over such assets depends on all of the relevant facts and circumstances. However, Revenue Rulings 2003-91 and 2003-92 provide that an annuity owner’s ability to choose among general investment strategies either at the time of the initial purchase or thereafter, does not constitute control sufficient to cause the contract holder to be treated as the owner of such assets. The Revenue Rulings provide that if, based on all the facts and circumstances, you do not have direct or indirect control over such assets, then you do not possess sufficient incidents of ownership over the assets supporting the annuity to be deemed the owner of the assets

for federal income tax purposes. We do not know what limits may be set by the IRS in any future guidance that it may issue and whether such limits will apply to existing contracts.

While we believe the contract does not give you investor control over such assets, we reserve the right to modify the contract as necessary to prevent you from being considered as the owner of the assets of the contract for purposes of the Code.

Non-Natural Owners

A trust or corporation or other Owner that is not a natural person (“Non-Natural Owner”) should consult a tax adviser. Generally, the Code does not confer tax-deferred status upon a Non-Qualified contract owned by a Non-Natural Owner for federal income tax purposes. Instead in such cases, the Non-Natural Owner pays tax each year on the contract’s “income on the contract” (as defined in the tax law). However, certain exceptions may apply, such as for contracts held by a trust or other entity as an agent for a natural person or contracts held by certain employer sponsored retirement arrangements. If an exception applies, the entity’s general interest deduction under the Code may be limited. Finally, certain non-qualified deferred compensation plans are subject to special tax rules. Please consult a tax advisor if you are a Non-Natural Owner of a contract.

Tax Treatment of Purchase Payments

Purchase Payments paid to a Non-Qualified contract are neither excludible from the gross income of the contract Owner nor deductible for tax purposes. In general, your cost basis in a Non-Qualified contract is equal to the Purchase Payments you put into the contract less any amounts previously received from the contract that were not includible in income.

Tax Treatment of Distributions

Partial Withdrawals

If you make a partial withdrawal from a Non-Qualified contract, the IRC generally treats such withdrawals as taxable to the extent your contract value before the withdrawal (determined before the application of any surrender charge) exceeds your cost basis. Partial withdrawals from a Non-Qualified contract that has Purchase Payments made before August 14, 1982, are an important exception to this general rule and are treated as first coming from the pre-August 14, 1982 Purchase Payments.

Amounts received under an automatic withdrawal plan are treated as withdrawals and not annuity payments for purposes of calculating taxable income.

Optional Living Benefits/Other Benefits

Generally, we will treat amounts credited to the contract value under the optional Living Benefit guarantees, for income tax purposes, as earnings in the contract. Thus, payments of Living Benefits are treated as taxable withdrawals to the extent there are taxable gains in the contract value. Payments in accordance with such guarantees after the contract value has been reduced to zero may be treated for tax purposes as amounts received as an annuity, if the other requirements for such treatment are satisfied. All payments or withdrawals after cost basis has been reduced to zero,

whether or not under such a guarantee, will be treated as taxable amounts. If available and you elect an optional Living Benefit, the application of certain tax rules, including those rules relating to distributions from your contract, are not entirely clear. Such benefits are not intended to adversely affect the tax treatment of distributions or of the contract. However, you should be aware that little guidance is available. You should consult a tax adviser before electing an optional Living Benefit.

Full Surrenders

In the case of a full surrender of a Non-Qualified contract, the amount received on surrender is taxable to the extent it exceeds the cost basis.

Assignments and Gratuitous Transfers

If you transfer ownership of your Non-Qualified contract to a person other than your spouse (or former spouse incident to a divorce) you will owe federal income tax on the contract’s cash surrender value to the extent it exceeds your cost basis. The transferee’s cost basis will be increased to reflect the amount the transferor includes in income.

An assignment or pledge (or agreement to assign or pledge) of any portion of a Non-Qualified contract will be treated as a withdrawal. If the entire contract value is assigned or pledged, subsequent increases in the contract value are also treated as withdrawals for as long as the assignment or pledge remains in place. The cost basis is increased by the amount included in income with respect to such assignment or pledge.

Aggregation Rule

If you purchase multiple non-qualified annuity contracts from the same insurance company (or its affiliates), within the same calendar year, the IRS generally requires these annuity contracts to be aggregated and treated as a single contract for purposes of determining the taxable income associated with any distribution taken from the contracts for tax purposes. For purposes of this rule, contracts received in a Section 1035 exchange will be considered issued in the year of the exchange. (However, the contracts may be treated as issued on the issue date of the contract being exchanged, for certain purposes, including determining whether the contract is an immediate annuity contract.) Aggregation impacts the amount of the distributions described above that is subject to taxation (and potentially subject to the 10% additional tax, if applicable). Owners should seek their own tax advice if you are purchasing more than one annuity from the same insurance company (or its affiliates) in the same calendar year.

Annuity Payments

If you annuitize your Non-Qualified contract, a portion of each annuity income payment will be considered, for tax purposes, to be a return of a portion of your cost basis. The portion of each annuity income payment that is considered a return of your cost basis will not be taxed. Your annuity income payment will be considered fully taxable after you have received a return of the entire amount of your cost basis.

Death Benefits

The taxable amount of any death benefits paid under the contract are taxable to the Beneficiary. The rules governing the taxation of payments from a Non-Qualified annuity

contract, as discussed above, generally apply whether the death benefit is paid as lump sum or annuity income payments. Estate taxes may also apply.

Enhanced death benefits (if applicable to your contract) are used as investment protection and are not expected to give rise to any adverse tax effects. However, the IRS could take the position that some or all the charges for these death benefits should be treated as a partial withdrawal from the contract. In that case, the amount of the partial withdrawal may be includible in taxable income and subject to the 10% additional tax if the Owner is under 59½, unless another exception applies. You should consult your tax adviser regarding these features and benefits prior to purchasing a contract.

Upon death, any remaining amounts in the contract must be distributed in accordance with the requirements under the Code. For deaths that occur after the contract’s annuity start date, payments under the annuity option elected will continue to be paid at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution in effect at such Owner’s death. For deaths that occur prior to the contract’s annuity start date, the entire interest in the contract can be paid in one of the following manner:

Lump sum payment of the death benefit.

Payment of the entire death benefit within five years of the date of any Owner’s death.

Payment of the death benefit over the lifetime of the Beneficiary or over a period not extending beyond the life expectancy of the Beneficiary. Under this option, distributions must begin within one year of the date of any Owner’s death. Note - This option is not available for a Beneficiary that is a non-natural person.

Spousal Option Only. The spousal Beneficiary can elect to treat the annuity contract as their own.

Special rules apply if the Owner is a non-natural person, where the annuitant is generally treated as the Owner.

10% Additional Tax

The taxable portion of any distribution, whether annuity income payment or other withdrawal, prior to the Owner reaching age 59½ is subject to a 10% additional tax unless an exception applies. Some of the main exceptions include:

•

when paid to your Beneficiary after you die;

•

after you become permanently disabled (as defined in the IRC);

•

when paid as a part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (not less frequently than annually) made for your life (or life expectancy) or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of you and your designated Beneficiary;

•

under an immediate annuity contract; or

•

when attributable to Purchase Payments made prior to August 14, 1982.

Other exceptions may available depending on contract type and your circumstances. Please consult your tax advisor or www.irs.gov for more information.

Net Investment Income Tax

There is a 3.8% tax on net investment income for Owners with Modified Adjusted Gross Income (“MAGI”) that exceeds certain thresholds based on the type of filer. Further information may be found on www.irs.gov. For this

purpose, net investment income generally will include taxable distributions from a Non-Qualified contract. It is also possible the tax could apply to other taxable amounts relating to your Non-Qualified contract. Please consult your tax advisor. This tax generally does not apply to Qualified contracts; however, taxable distributions from such contracts may be considered in determining the MAGI threshold.

Tax Treatment of Exchanges

The Non-Qualified contract may be issued in exchange for all or part of another annuity contract that you own. In addition, the contract Owner may be permitted to exchange the contract for a new annuity contract prior to the commencement of annuity income payments. A full or partial exchange of one annuity contract for another is a tax-free transaction under IRC section 1035, provided that the requirements of that section are satisfied. Please note that the exchange may be tax reportable. If you exchange part of an existing annuity contract for another annuity contract, and within 180 days of the exchange you receive a distribution other than certain annuity payments, the exchange may not be tax free. You should consult a tax advisor when exchanging part or all of an annuity contract.

Qualified Contracts

In General

Qualified contracts taxation varies with the type of plan and terms and conditions of each specific plan. You will get no additional tax advantage from this contract if you are investing through a Qualified contract beyond the treatment provided to alternative qualifying arrangements such as trusts or custodial accounts. However, in both cases the contract offers features and benefits that other investments may not offer. You and your financial representative should carefully consider whether the features and benefits, including the investment options, lifetime annuity income options, protection through Living Benefits, death benefits and other benefits provided under an annuity contract issued in connection with a Qualified contract are suitable for your needs and objectives and are appropriate in light of the expense.

The terms of the plan may limit the rights otherwise available under the contracts. The Code and, if applicable, your contract or Qualified Arrangement, may have limitations and restrictions such as: the amount that can be contributed; the form, manner and timing of distributions; vesting and non-forfeitability of interests; nondiscrimination in eligibility and participation; and the tax treatment of distributions, withdrawals and surrenders. Some of these limitations are adjusted annually. Please see www.IRS.gov or consult your tax advisor.

The following are general summary descriptions of the types of Qualified Arrangements with which the Qualified contracts may be used. Not all plan types will be available under your contract. Descriptions of such arrangements are not exhaustive and are for general information purposes only. The tax rules regarding Qualified Arrangements are very complex and will have differing applications depending on individual facts and circumstances. Each prospective purchaser should obtain competent tax advice prior to purchasing a contract issued under a qualified plan.

Note that the Company no longer issues new Qualified contracts other than IRAs, SEP IRAs, or ROTH IRAs.

Plans of Self-Employed Individuals: “H.R. 10 Plans”

Section 401 of the Code permits self-employed individuals to establish qualified plans for themselves and their employees, commonly referred to as “H.R. 10” or “Keogh” Plans.

Pension and Profit Sharing Plans 401(a)/401(k)

The Code permits certain employers to establish various types of retirement plans, including 401(k) plans, for employees. These retirement plans may permit the purchase of the Qualified contracts to provide benefits under the plan. Contributions to the contracts will be restricted by the Code and the terms of the plan.

Tax-Sheltered Annuity (403(b))

Section 403(b) of the Code permits the purchase of “tax-sheltered annuities” by public educational institutions and tax-exempt organizations described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Code.

Treasury regulations include several rules and requirements, such as a requirement that employers maintain their 403(b) plans pursuant to a written plan. The regulations, subsequent IRS guidance, and the terms of the written plan may impose restrictions on both new and existing Qualified contracts, including restrictions on the availability of loans, distributions, transfers and exchanges, regardless of when a contract was purchased.

In general, certain contracts originally established by a IRS Revenue Ruling 90-24 transfer prior to September 25, 2007 are exempt (or grandfathered) from some of the requirements of the regulations; provided that no salary reduction or other contributions have ever been made to the contract, and that no additional transfers are made to the contract on or after September 24, 2007.

Effective January 1, 2009 the Company no longer accepts new Purchase Payments (including contributions, transfers and exchanges) into new or existing 403(b) annuities.

Traditional Individual Retirement Annuities (IRA), SEP IRA, or Roth IRA

The IRA Disclosure Statement, ROTH IRA Disclosure Statement, or Traditional, SEP, and Roth Individual Retirement Annuity (IRA) Combined Disclosure Statement which was received at the time of original issue of your IRA, SEP IRA or Roth IRA contains information about eligibility, contribution limits, distribution restrictions and other tax information. For further information about contributions and distributions from your IRA, please see Publications 590-A and 590-B on the IRS website at www.irs.gov.

Traditional Individual Retirement Annuities

Section 408(b) of the Code permits eligible individuals to contribute to an individual retirement program known as a traditional IRA. Under applicable limitations, certain amounts (adjusted annually) may be contributed to an IRA. Such contributions may be deductible, depending on your modified gross income.

Roth IRAs

Section 408A of the Code permits an individual to contribute to an individual retirement account called a Roth IRA. Contributions to a Roth IRA are not deductible, but distributions are tax-free if certain requirements are satisfied. Unlike traditional IRAs, to which everyone can

contribute even if they cannot deduct the full contribution, Roth IRAs have income limitations on who can make regular cash contributions.

Simplified Employee Pension Plan (“SEP”) IRA

Sole proprietors, partnerships, and corporations, including S corporations, can set up SEPs. Employer contributions under a SEP are made to a separate IRAs established for each participating employee, and generally must be made at a rate representing a uniform percent of participating employees’ compensation. Through 1996, employees of certain small employers (other than tax-exempt organizations) were permitted to establish plans allowing employees to contribute pretax, on a salary reduction basis, to the SEP (known as SARSEPs).

Deferred Compensation Plans — Section 457

A unit of a state or local government may establish a deferred compensation program for individuals who perform services for the government unit if permitted by applicable state (and/or local) laws. In addition, a non-governmental tax-exempt employer may establish a deferred compensation program for individuals who: (i) perform services for the employer, and (ii) belong to either a select group of management or highly compensated employees or, if provided under the deferred compensation arrangement, independent contractors.

The employer uses deferred amounts to purchase the contracts offered by this prospectus. For plans maintained by a unit of a state or local government, the contract is generally held for the exclusive benefit of plan Participants. For plans of non-governmental tax-exempt employers, the employee has no present ownership rights in the Contract and is entitled to payment only in accordance with the eligible deferred compensation plan (an “EDCP”) provisions and, where applicable, any trust under which the contract may be held. Non-governmental 457 plan assets must remain assets of the employer and are subject to claims by the creditors of the employer.

Under these plans, contributions made for the benefit of the employees will not be includible in the employees’ gross income until distributed from, or if a non-governmental tax-exempt employer, otherwise made available to the recipient.

Tax Treatment of Purchase Payments

For employer-sponsored arrangements, Purchase Payments under Qualified contracts can be made as contributions by employers or as pre-tax or after-tax contributions by employees, depending on the type of retirement program. For IRAs, Purchase Payments also can be made as a pre-tax or after-tax contribution. If you make contributions on a pre-tax basis, then you have no cost basis in your contract. However, you normally will have cost basis in a Roth IRA, a designated Roth account in a 403(b), 401(k), or governmental 457(b) plan, and you may have cost basis in a non-deductible traditional IRA or in another Qualified contract.

Limitations and restrictions may apply to Purchase Payments. Please refer to www.IRS.gov for further information, as these limitations and restrictions may be based on several factors.

Various penalty and excise taxes may apply to contributions made in violation of applicable contribution limits. You should consult a qualified tax advisor associated with any

questions related to the contribution to or transfer from an employer sponsored retirement plan or arrangement, IRA, or Roth IRA.

Tax Treatment of Distributions

Distributions from Qualified contracts, other than IRAs and Roth IRAs, are often limited by the IRC and by the terms of the employer-sponsored retirement plan. In some cases, distributions are not available unless there has been a distributable event as defined by the terms of the plan. All distributions are tax at ordinary income tax rates. Various penalty taxes may apply to distributions made in violation of applicable requirements. Furthermore, certain contractual withdrawal penalties and restrictions may apply to surrenders from Qualified contracts. You should consult a qualified tax advisor associated with any questions related to the distribution or transfer from an employer sponsored retirement plan or arrangement, IRA, or Roth IRA.

Non-Roth Qualified Contracts. Distributions from Qualified contracts other than Roth IRAs and designated Roth accounts (described below) are taxable, except to the extent allocable to after-tax contributions or non-deductible traditional IRA contributions.

Roth IRAs and Designated Roth Accounts. “Qualified” distributions from Roth IRAs and Designated Roth Accounts upon attainment of age 59½, upon death or disability, or for qualifying first-time homebuyer expenses (Roth IRAs only) are tax-free as long as five or more years have passed since the first contribution to the taxpayer’s first Roth IRA or Designated Roth Account. Qualified distributions may be subject to state income tax in some states. Special tax rules will apply to distributions that are not qualified and such distributions are generally subject to the same 10% additional tax on amounts included in income as for other IRAs. Distributions of rollover or conversion contributions may be subject to a 10% additional tax if the distribution of those contributions is made within five years of the rollover or conversion.

Designated Roth and Roth IRA Conversions. All persons may be eligible to convert a distribution from an employer-sponsored plan or from a traditional IRA into a Roth IRA. Conversions from qualified contracts into Roth IRAs normally require taxes to be paid in the year of the conversion on any previously untaxed amounts included in the amount converted. The taxable value of such a conversion may consider the value of certain benefits under the contract.

457 Plans.Amounts received from an EDCP are includible in gross income for the taxable year in which they are paid or, if a non-governmental tax-exempt employer, otherwise made available to the recipient.

Annuitization. If you annuitize your Qualified contract, special tax rules apply to determine the taxable amount of your annuity income payment depending on your Qualified Arrangement. Please consult your tax advisor.

10% Additional Tax. You should consult your tax adviser as to the availability of an exemption from, or reduction of, such tax under an applicable income tax treaty, if any. The taxable portion of any distribution, whether annuity income payment or other withdrawal, prior to the Owner of a

Qualified contract reaching age 59½ is subject to a 10% additional tax unless an exception applies. Some of the main exceptions include:

•

when paid to your Beneficiary after you die;

•

after you become permanently disabled (as defined in the IRC); and

•

as a part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (not less frequently than annually) made for your life (or life expectancy) or the joint lives (or joint expectancies) of you and your designated Beneficiary.

Other exceptions may be applicable under certain circumstances. In addition, you may be able to repay certain distributions if certain requirements are satisfied. Distributions from a SIMPLE IRA within two years after first participating in the Plan may be subject to a 25% additional tax, rather than a 10% additional tax.

Direct and Indirect Rollovers

A rollover distribution, including eligible rollover distributions as defined below, from an IRA, 403(b) TSA, qualified plan or governmental 457(b) deferred compensation plan may generally be rolled over into another IRA, 403(b) TSA, qualified plan or governmental 457(b) deferred compensation plan, if permitted by the plan.

An eligible rollover distribution is the taxable portion of any amount received by a covered employee from a retirement plan qualified under Sections 401(a) or 403(a) or, if from a plan of a governmental employer, under Section 457(b) of the Code, or from a tax-sheltered annuity qualified under Section 403(b) of the Code. Generally, certain types of distributions are not considered eligible rollover distributions, such as distributions received on account of:

a required minimum distribution,

a hardship withdrawal, or

a series of substantially equal payments (at least annually) made over your life expectancy or the joint life expectancies of you and your designated Beneficiary, or a distribution made for a specified period of 10 years or more.

A rollover distribution (including an eligible rollover distribution) may be transferred as a direct or indirect rollover. In a direct rollover, the funds are directly transferred from one Qualified Arrangement to another. In an indirect rollover, the individual receives a distribution from the Qualified Arrangement and reinvests it in another Qualified Arrangement within 60 days of the distribution. For indirect rollovers, you must include in your income for the year the taxable amount of any portion of the distribution that you do not roll over. An indirect rollover of an eligible rollover distribution will be subject to a mandatory 20% withholding tax (described below).

Individuals are only permitted to make one indirect rollover from an IRA to another IRA in any one-year period. It is important to note that the one rollover per year limitation does not apply to amounts taken as an eligible rollover distribution from an employer sponsored retirement arrangement or from amounts transferred directly between IRAs in a trustee-to-trustee transfer.

Funds may generally be rolled over tax-free from a SIMPLE IRA to another IRA. However, during the two-year period

beginning on the date you first participate in any SIMPLE IRA plan of your employer, SIMPLE IRA funds may only be rolled to another SIMPLE IRA.

You should always consult your tax adviser before you move or attempt to move any funds.

Tax Treatment of Death Benefits

The taxable amount of any death benefits paid under the contract are taxable to the Beneficiary. The rules governing the taxation of payments from an annuity contract, as discussed above, generally apply whether the death benefit is paid as lump sum or annuity income payments. Estate taxes may also apply.

Enhanced death benefits (if applicable to your contract) are used as investment protection and are not expected to give rise to any adverse tax effects. However, the IRS could take the position that some or all the charges for these death benefits should be treated as a partial withdrawal from the contract. In that case, the amount of the partial withdrawal may be includible in taxable income and subject to the 10% additional tax described above if the Owner is under 59½, unless another exception applies. The IRS may consider these benefits “incidental death benefits” or “life insurance.” You should consult your tax adviser regarding these features and benefits prior to purchasing a Qualified contract. See below for required distributions after the death of the Owner.

Required Minimum Distributions

Your required minimum distribution (RMD) is the minimum amount you must withdraw from your Qualified Arrangement each year after your required beginning date. The RMD rules do not apply to Roth IRAs or designated Roth accounts when the Owner is alive.

Failure to satisfy the minimum distribution requirements may result in an excise tax. A 25% excise tax may be assessed on any RMD that is required but not taken timely. However, if the late RMD is taken within a two-year period, the penalty may be reduced to 10% if certain conditions are satisfied. You should consult your tax adviser for more information.

Required Beginning Date

Generally, the IRC requires that you begin taking annual distributions from Qualified contracts by December 31 of the calendar year in which you attain the “applicable age”:

•

Age 75 if you were born January 1, 1960 or later.

•

Age 73 if you were born on or after January 1, 1951, and before January 1, 1960.

•

Age 72 if you were born on or after July 1, 1949, and before January 1, 1951.

•

Age 70 ½ if you were born before July 1, 1949.

For employer sponsored retirement plans, you must begin distributions on the later of (1) reaching the applicable age, or (2) the calendar year in which you sever employment from the employer sponsoring the plan.

You may choose to delay your first distribution until April 1 of the calendar year following in which you reach the applicable age or sever employment, as applicable. However, if you choose to delay your first distribution, you will be required to withdraw your second RMD on or before December 31 in that same year. For each year thereafter, you must withdraw your RMD by December 31.

For 403(b) contracts, amounts accumulated under a Contract on December 31, 1986, may be subject to special distribution rules.

Combining Distributions from Multiple Qualified Contracts

If you own more than one IRA, you may be permitted to take your RMD in any combination from your IRAs. A similar rule applies if you own more than one 403(b) account, unless the plan, contract, or account otherwise provides. However, you cannot satisfy this distribution requirement for your IRA contract by taking a distribution from a 403(b) account, and you cannot satisfy the requirement for your 403(b) account by taking a distribution from an IRA.

Automatic Withdrawal Option

If available, you may elect to have the RMD amount for your contract calculated and withdrawn each year under the automatic withdrawal option. You may select monthly, quarterly, semiannual, or annual withdrawals for this purpose. This service is provided as a courtesy, and we do not guarantee the accuracy of our calculations.

Impact of Optional Benefits

The annuity contract value used to determine RMDs includes the actuarial present value of other benefits under the Qualified contract, such as enhanced death benefits and/or Living Benefits. As a result, if you request a minimum distribution calculation, or if one is otherwise required to be provided, in those specific circumstances where this requirement applies, the calculation may be based upon a value that is greater than your contract value, resulting in a larger RMD. This does not apply to RMDs made under an irrevocable annuity income option.

We recommend you consult your tax adviser concerning your required minimum distribution.

Required After Death Distributions

Upon death, any remaining amounts in the Qualified contract must be distributed in accordance with the requirements under the IRC. The timing of these distributions will depend on whether the death occurs before the Owner was required to take RMDs, the type of Beneficiary, and the Beneficiary’s relationship to the deceased Owner. The information provided below applies to Owners who die after 2019 (after 2021 for certain governmental and collectively bargained retirement plans). For Owners’ deaths prior to such dates, individuals should consult a tax advisor regarding the applicable after-death distribution requirements.

Eligible designated Beneficiaries (“EDB”) are generally a natural person designated as a Beneficiary (“designated beneficiaries”) who are also:

•

the surviving spouse of the Owner; or

•

an individual who is not more than ten years younger than the Owner.

If the Beneficiary is an EDB, the entire amount in the contract generally must be paid to the EDB:

•

if the owner had not reached their required beginning date for RMDs

○

within 5 years after the owner’s death, or

○

by December 31st of the year following the year of death and be paid over the lifetime or single life expectancy of the EDB; or

•

if the owner had reached their required beginning date for RMDs, payments must continue at least as rapidly as was required for the Owner and all amounts must be distributed within 5 years of the owner’s death.

Exceptions to this rule may apply in the case of an EDB who is also the Owner’s spouse.

If a Beneficiary is a designated beneficiary, the entire amount in the Contract must be distributed either:

•

if the Owner had not reached their required beginning date for RMDs, within 5 years after the owner’s death, or

•

if the Owner had reached their required beginning date for RMDs, payments must continue at least as rapidly as was required for the Owner and all amounts must be distributed within 5 years of the owner’s death.

If the Beneficiary is not a designated beneficiary or an EDB, the Beneficiary must receive the entire amount in the contract:

•

if the Owner had not reached their required beginning date for RMDs, within 5 years after the owner’s death, or

•

if the Owner had reached their required beginning date for RMDs, payments must continue at least as rapidly as was required for the Owner.

Additional rules, requirements, and exceptions may apply. Please consult a tax advisor.

Gifts, Pledges, Assignments of and/or Loans from a Qualified Contract

Qualified contracts are prohibited from being transferred, assigned or pledged as security for a loan. This generally does not apply to loans under an employer-sponsored retirement plan (including loans from the annuity contract) that satisfy certain requirements, provided that the plan is not an unfunded deferred compensation plan. Another exception to this rule includes an assignment pursuant to a domestic relations order meeting the requirements of the plan or arrangement under which the contract is issued (for many plans, a Qualified Domestic Relations Order, or “QDRO”), or, in the case of an IRA, pursuant to a decree of divorce or separation maintenance or a written instrument incident to such decree.

For certain qualified arrangements, a default of a loan may be considered a taxable distribution and may be subject to a 10% additional tax if the distribution occurred prior to your attainment of age 59.5 unless an exception applies. Please see the terms of your loan for specifics regarding your loan and the tax impact of defaults.

You should consult a tax advisor as to the availability of these and any other exceptions.

Tax Withholding and Reporting

In General

Taxable amounts distributed from annuity contracts are subject to federal and state income tax reporting and withholding. In general, we will withhold federal income tax from the taxable portion of such distribution based on the type of distribution and, in certain cases, the amount of your distribution. An election out of federal withholding must be made in accordance with the IRS guidance as directed on

forms that we provide. If an election out of withholding or election of another amount is not made, withholding is imposed (1) for periodic payments, at the rate that would be imposed if the payments were wages, and the payee was single with no adjustments, or (2) for other distributions, at the rate of 10%. If you are a U.S. person (which includes a resident alien), and your address of record is a non-U.S. address, we are required to withhold income tax unless payments are directed to your U.S. residential address. We are also required to withhold if you do not provide a valid TIN.

State income tax withholding rules vary, and we will withhold based on the rules of your state of residence. Your state may require any election associated with withholding to be undertaken on the state’s prescribed form.

Special tax rules apply to withholding for non-United States persons, and we generally withhold income tax for such non-United States persons at a rate of 30% of the taxable amount. A different withholding rate may be applicable to a non-United States person based on the terms of an existing income tax treaty between the United States and the non-United States person’s country. To qualify for any reduced withholding, the non-United States person must provide applicable certifications under Form W-8 BEN-E, Form W-8IMY, or other applicable form. Any Form W-8, including the Form W-8 BEN-E and Form W-8IMY, is only effective for three years from date of signature unless a change in circumstances makes any information on the form incorrect. You should consult your tax adviser as to the availability of an exemption from, or reduction of, such tax under an applicable income tax treaty, if any. Note, any payments made to a foreign entity, where such entity fails to provide the applicable certifications, may result in a 30% withholding on certain gross payments, which could include distributions from annuity contracts.

Any income tax withheld is a credit against your income tax liability. Regardless of the amount withheld by us, you are liable for payment of federal and state income tax on the taxable portion of annuity distributions. You should consult with your tax adviser regarding the payment of the correct amount of these income taxes and potential liability if you fail to pay such taxes.

20% Federal Income Tax Withholding on Eligible Rollover Distributions

For certain qualified employer sponsored plans, we are required to withhold 20% of the taxable portion of your withdrawal that constitutes an eligible rollover distribution for federal income taxes. This requirement is mandatory and cannot be waived by the Owner. You may avoid withholding if you do a direct rollover between Qualified Arrangements.

Generation Skipping Transfer Tax Withholding

Under certain circumstances, the IRC may impose generation skipping transfer tax when all or a part of an annuity contract is transferred (including a death benefit paid) to an individual two or more generations younger than the owner. The Company may be required to undertake withholding associated with such a transaction. Contract Owners should consult a tax advisor with any questions.

Civil Unions and Domestic Partnerships

Parties to a state civil union or domestic partnership are not treated as married under federal law. Accordingly, certain transactions (such as a change of ownership or spousal continuation) may be taxable to those persons. Contract Owners should consult a tax advisor with any questions.

Our Taxes

The Company is taxed as a life insurance company under the Code. For federal income tax purposes, the Separate Account is not a separate entity from the Company and its operations form a part of the Company. We are entitled to certain tax benefits related to the investment of Company assets, including assets of the Separate Account, which may include foreign tax credits and the corporate dividends received deduction. These potential benefits are not passed back to you, since we are the owner of the assets from which tax benefits may be derived.

Other Information

The Distributor

Corebridge Capital Services, Inc., 30 Hudson Street, 16th Floor, Jersey City, NJ 07302, distributes the contracts. Corebridge Capital Services, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of AGL, is a registered broker-dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”). No underwriting fees are retained by Corebridge Capital Services, Inc. in connection with the distribution of the contracts.

The Company

American General Life Insurance Company

American General Life Insurance Company (“AGL”) is a stock life insurance company organized under the laws of the state of Texas. Its home office is 2727-A Allen Parkway, Houston, Texas 77019-2191.

Contracts are issued by AGL in all states, except New York.

AGL is obligated to pay all amounts promised to investors under a contract issued by AGL.

Operation of the Company

The operations of the Company are influenced by many factors, including general economic conditions, monetary and fiscal policies of the federal government, and policies of state and other regulatory authorities. The level of sales of the Company’s financial and insurance products is influenced by many factors, including general market rates of interest, the strength, weakness and volatility of equity markets, terms and conditions of competing financial and insurance products and the relative value of such brands.

The Company is exposed to market risk, interest rate risk, contract Owner behavior risk and mortality/longevity risk. Market volatility may result in increased risks related to guaranteed death and Living Benefits on the Company’s financial and insurance products, as well as reduced fee income in the case of assets held in separate accounts, where applicable. These guaranteed benefits are sensitive to equity market and other conditions. The Company primarily uses capital market hedging strategies to help cover the risk

of paying guaranteed Living Benefits in excess of account values as a result of significant downturns in equity markets or as a result of other factors. The Company has treaties to reinsure a portion of the guaranteed minimum income benefits and guaranteed death benefits for equity and mortality risk on some of its older contracts. Such risk mitigation may or may not reduce the volatility of net income and capital and surplus resulting from equity market volatility.

The Company is regulated for the benefit of contract Owners by the insurance regulator in its state of domicile; and also by all state insurance departments where it is licensed to conduct business. The Company is required by its regulators to hold a specified amount of reserves in order to meet its contractual obligations to contract Owners. Insurance regulations also require the Company to maintain additional surplus to protect against a financial impairment the amount of which is based on the risks inherent in the Company’s operations.

The Separate Account

Variable Annuity Account Seven is a separate account of AGL under Texas law. It may be used to support the contract and other variable annuity contracts, and used for other permitted purposes.

The Separate Account is registered with the SEC as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

Purchase Payments you make that are allocated to the Variable Portfolios are invested in the Separate Account. The Company owns the assets in the Separate Account and invests them on your behalf, according to your instructions. Purchase Payments invested in the Separate Account are not guaranteed and will fluctuate with the value of the Variable Portfolios you select. Therefore, you assume all of the investment risk for contract value allocated to the Variable Portfolios. These assets are kept separate from our General Account and may not be charged with liabilities arising from any other business we may conduct. Additionally, income gains and losses (realized and unrealized) resulting from assets in the Separate Account are credited to or charged against the Separate Account without regard to other income gains or losses of the Company.

You benefit from dividends received by the Separate Account through an increase in your unit value. The Company expects to benefit from these dividends through tax credits and corporate dividends received deductions; however, these corporate deductions are not passed back to the Separate Account or to contract Owners.

The General Account

Obligations that are paid out of the Company’s general account (“General Account”) include any amounts you have allocated to available Fixed Accounts, including any interest credited thereon, and amounts owed under your contract for death and/or Living Benefits which are in excess of portions of contract value allocated to the Variable Portfolios. The obligations and guarantees under the contract are the sole responsibility of the Company. Therefore, payments of these

obligations are subject to our financial strength and claims paying ability, and our long term ability to make such payments.

The General Account assets are invested in accordance with applicable state regulation. These assets are exposed to the typical risks normally associated with a portfolio of fixed income securities, namely interest rate, option, liquidity and credit risk. The Company manages its exposure to these risks by, among other things, closely monitoring and matching the duration and cash flows of its assets and liabilities, monitoring or limiting prepayment and extension risk in its portfolio, maintaining a large percentage of its portfolio in highly liquid securities and engaging in a disciplined process of underwriting, reviewing and monitoring credit risk. With respect to the Living Benefits available in your contract, we also manage interest rate and certain market risk through a hedging strategy in the portfolio and we may require that those who elect a Living Benefit allocate their Purchase Payments in accordance with specified investment parameters.

Contracts issued on or prior to December 29, 2006 were issued with a guarantee (the “Guarantee”) by American Home Assurance Company (the “Guarantor”). Please see APPENDIX B – THE GUARANTEE FOR CONTRACTS ISSUED PRIOR TO DECEMBER 29, 2006 for more information.

Legal Proceedings

There are no pending legal proceedings affecting the Separate Account, the Company, or the principal underwriter. Various federal, state or other regulatory agencies may from time to time review, examine or inquire into the operations, practices and procedures of the Company, such as through financial examinations, subpoenas, investigations, market conduct exams or other regulatory inquiries. Based on the current status of pending regulatory examinations, investigations and inquiries involving the Company, the Company believes that none of these matters will have a material adverse effect on the ability of the principal underwriter to perform its contract with the Registrant or of the depositor to meet its obligations under the variable annuity contracts.

Various lawsuits against the Company have arisen in the ordinary course of business. As of the date of this prospectus, the Company believes that none of these matters will have a material adverse effect on the ability of the principal underwriter to perform its contract with the Registrant or of the depositor to meet its obligations under the variable annuity contracts.

Any active asset rebalancing or dollar cost averaging programs will continue according to your current allocations on file.

If you are currently invested in a Sample Portfolio, you will remain invested in the same Variable Portfolios and in the same amounts and weights as before the Sample Portfolio was terminated; however, the investment will no longer be considered to be a Sample Portfolio and you may no longer trade into any other Sample Portfolio Any active asset rebalancing or dollar cost averaging programs will continue according to your current allocations on file.

Appendix B – The Guarantee for Contracts Issued Prior to December 29, 2006

GUARANTEE OF INSURANCE OBLIGATIONS

The Company’s insurance policy obligations for individual and group contracts issued by SunAmerica Annuity prior to December 29, 2006 at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time, are guaranteed (the “Guarantee”) by American Home Assurance Company (“American Home” or “Guarantor”).

As of December 29, 2006 at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time (the “Point of Termination”), the Guarantee by American Home was terminated for prospectively issued contracts. The Guarantee will not cover any contracts or certificates with a date of issue later than the Point of Termination. The Guarantee will continue to cover individual contracts, individual certificates and group unallocated contracts with a date of issue earlier than the Point of Termination until all insurance obligations under such contracts or certificates are satisfied in full. Insurance obligations include, without limitation, contract value invested in any available Fixed Accounts, death benefits, Living Benefits and annuity income options. The Guarantee does not guarantee contract value or the investment performance of the Variable Portfolios available under the contracts. The Guarantee provides that individual contract owners, individual certificate holders and group unallocated contract owners with a date of issue earlier than the Point of Termination can enforce the Guarantee directly.

Appendix D – Living Benefit Provisions for Contracts Issued Prior to May 1, 2008

Effective January 15, 2016, if you have elected the following living benefit features:

•

MarketLock Income Plus or MarketLock For Life Plus, we will not accept subsequent Gross Purchase Payments on or after the 5th contract anniversary from your contract issue date.

•

MarketLock, we will not accept subsequent Gross Purchase Payments on or after the 2nd contract anniversary from your contract issue date.

The following is a description of certain differences in the living benefit provisions applicable to contracts issued prior to May 1, 2008 from those described in the Optional Living Benefits section of the prospectus.

MarketLock for Life Plus

If you purchased your contract prior to May 1, 2008 and elected MarketLock For Life Plus the following provisions apply to your feature.

The tables that provide the age requirement for electing the feature are as follows:

If you elect one Covered Person:

	Covered Person
	Minimum Age	Maximum Age(1)
One Owner	50	75
Joint Owners (based on the age of the older Owner)	50	75

If you elect two Covered Persons:

	Covered Person #1		Covered Person #2
	Minimum Age	Maximum Age(1)	Minimum Age	Maximum Age(1)
Non-Qualified: Joint Owners	50	75	50	85
Non-Qualified: One Owner with Spousal Beneficiary	50	75	50	N/A(2)
Qualified: One Owner with Spousal Beneficiary	50	75	50	N/A(2)

(1) The age requirements for optional death benefits and other optional features may be different than those listed here. You must meet the age requirement for those features in order to elect them.

(2) Not applicable because feature availability is based on the younger Owner. The spousal beneficiary’s age is not considered in determining the maximum issue age of the second Covered Person.

The Income Credit is calculated as 6% of the Income Credit Base.

What determines the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Percentage?

One Covered Person

If the feature is elected to cover one life but the contract is jointly owned, then the Covered Person must be the older Owner and the following is applicable:

Age of the Covered Person at Time of First Withdrawal	Maximum Annual Withdrawal Percentage*
At least age 50 but prior to 60th birthday	4%
At least age 60 but prior to 76th birthday	5%
On or after 76th birthday	6%

Two Covered Persons

If the feature is elected to cover two lives, the following is applicable:

Age of the Younger Covered Person or Surviving Covered Person at Time of First Withdrawal	Maximum Annual Withdrawal Percentage*
At least age 50 but prior to 60th birthday	4%
At least age 60 but prior to 76th birthday	5%
On or after 76th birthday	6%

The amount of any withdrawal, including any charges applicable to the withdrawal, must be within the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount. If you are taking required minimum distributions (“RMD”) from this contract, and the amount of the RMD (based on this contract) is greater than the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount in any given year, no portion of the RMD withdrawal will be treated as an Excess Withdrawal. Any portion of a withdrawal that is greater than either the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount or the RMD amount (based only on this contract) will be considered an Excess Withdrawal.

What is the fee for MarketLock For Life Plus?

The fee for MarketLock For Life Plus depends on whether you elect to cover one life or two lives. The fee is as follows:

All years in which the feature is in effect	Annualized Fee
For One Covered Person	0.70% of Benefit Base
For Two Covered Persons	0.95% of Benefit Base

D-1

MarketLock

If you purchased your contract in Oregon prior to January 16, 2007 or in Texas prior to October 13, 2006 and you elected MarketLock, the following provisions apply to your feature.

All references to eligibility for lifetime withdrawals if the first withdrawal is taken after your 65th birthday do not apply to your benefit.

The MarketLock Summary Table is replaced with the following:

MarketLock Summary Table

Time of First Withdrawal	Maximum Annual Withdrawal Percentage* prior to any Extension	Initial Minimum Withdrawal Period prior to any Extension	Maximum Annual Withdrawal Percentage if Extension is Elected
Before 7th Benefit Year anniversary	5%	20 years	5%
On or after 7th Benefit Year anniversary	7%	14.28 years**	7%

If you are taking minimum distributions (“RMD”) from the contract, and the portion of the RMD amount based on this contract only, is greater than the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount, that portion of the withdrawal will not be treated as an Excess Withdrawal. Any portion of an RMD withdrawal that is based on amounts greater than for this contract alone will be considered an Excess Withdrawal. This may further reduce your Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount, MAV Benefit Base, and remaining Minimum Withdrawal Period.

The fractional year indicates that the final withdrawal may be taken at any time during the final year of the Minimum Withdrawal Period.

D-2

Appendix E – Death Benefits Following Spousal Continuation

Certain death benefits are either no longer offered or have changed since first being offered. If your contract was issued prior to May 1, 2009, please see Appendix F for a description of the death benefit calculations and death benefit calculations following a Spousal Continuation for your contract.

Effective January 15, 2016, if you have elected the following living benefit features:

•

MarketLock Income Plus or MarketLock For Life Plus, we will not accept subsequent Gross Purchase Payments on or after the 5th contract anniversary from your contract issue date.

•

MarketLock, we will not accept subsequent Gross Purchase Payments on or after the 2nd contract anniversary from your contract issue date.

The following details the death benefit payable upon the Continuing Spouse’s death. The death benefit we will pay to the new Beneficiary chosen by the Continuing Spouse varies depending on whether the Living Benefit was elected, the age of the Continuing Spouse as of the Continuation Date and the Continuing Spouse’s date of death.

Capitalized terms used in this Appendix have the same meaning as they have in the prospectus.

We define “Continuation Purchase Payments” as Purchase Payments made on or after the Continuation Date.

The term “withdrawals” as used in describing the death benefits is defined as withdrawals and the fees and charges applicable to those withdrawals.

The term “Withdrawal Adjustment” is used, if the Living Benefit had been elected, to describe the way in which the amount of the death benefit will be adjusted for withdrawals depending on when the Continuing Spouse takes a withdrawal and the amount of the withdrawal. If cumulative withdrawals for the current contract year are taken prior to the Continuing Spouse’s 81st birthday and are less than or equal to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount, the amount of adjustment will equal the amount of each withdrawal. If a withdrawal is taken prior to the Continuing Spouse’s 81st birthday and cumulative withdrawals for the current contract year are in excess of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount, the contract value and the death benefit are first reduced by the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount. The resulting death benefit is further adjusted by the withdrawal amount in excess of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount by the percentage by which the Excess Withdrawal reduced the resulting contract value. If a withdrawal is taken on or after the Continuing Spouse’s 81st birthday, the amount of adjustment is determined by the percentage by which the withdrawal reduced the contract value.

The Company will not accept Gross Purchase Payments from anyone age 86 or older. Therefore, the death benefit calculations described below assume that no Gross Purchase Payments are received on or after the Continuing Spouse’s 86th birthday.

The death benefit is calculated differently depending on whether you have also elected the Living Benefit described above.

Death Benefit Payable Upon Continuing Spouse’s Death:

The following describes the death benefit without election of the Living Benefit:

If the Continuing Spouse is age 82 or younger on the Continuation Date, then upon the death of the Continuing Spouse, the death benefit is the greatest of:

Contract value; or

Contract value on the Continuation Date, plus Gross Continuation Purchase Payments received prior to the Continuing Spouse’s 86th birthday, reduced for withdrawals in the same proportion that the withdrawal reduced contract value on that date of such withdrawal; or

Maximum anniversary value on any contract anniversary that occurred after the Continuation Date, but prior to the earlier of the Continuing Spouse’s 83rd birthday or date of death. The anniversary value for any year is equal to the contract value on the applicable contract anniversary, plus Continuation Purchase Payments received since that anniversary date but prior to the Continuing Spouse’s 86th birthday, and reduced for any withdrawals since that contract anniversary in the same proportion that the contract value was reduced on the date of such withdrawal.

If the Continuing Spouse is age 83-85 on the Continuation Date, then the death benefit will be the greater of:

Contract value; or

The lesser of:

(1)

Contract value on the Continuation Date, plus Gross Continuation Purchase Payments received prior to the Continuing Spouse’s 86th birthday, reduced for any withdrawals in the same proportion that the withdrawal reduced contract value on the date of such withdrawal; or

(2)

125% of contract value.

If the Continuing Spouse is age 86 or older on the Continuation Date, the death benefit is equal to the contract value.

E-1

The following describes the death benefit with election of the Living Benefit:

If the Continuing Spouse is age 82 or younger on the Continuation Date, the death benefit will be the greatest of:

Contract value; or

Contract value on the Continuation Date, plus Gross Continuation Purchase Payments received prior to the Continuing Spouse’s 86th birthday, reduced by any Withdrawal Adjustment; or

Maximum anniversary value on any contract anniversary that occurred after the Continuation Date, but prior to the earlier of Continuing Spouse’s 83rd birthday or date of death, plus Purchase Payments received since that anniversary date but prior to the Continuing Spouse’s 86th birthday, and reduced by any Withdrawal Adjustment.

If the Continuing Spouse is age 83-85 on the Continuation Date, then the death benefit will be the greater of:

Contract value; or

the lesser of:

(1)

(2)

125% of contract value.

If the Continuing Spouse is age 86 or older on the Continuation Date, the death benefit is equal to the contract value.

We reserve the right to modify, suspend or terminate the Spousal Continuation provision (in its entirety or any component) at any time for prospectively issued contracts.

E-2

Appendix F – Optional Death Benefits and Spousal Continuation Death Benefits
for Contracts Issued Prior to May 1, 2009

Death Benefit Defined Terms

Capital terms used in this Appendix have the same meaning as they have in the prospectus.

The term “Continuation Purchase Payment” is used to describe the death benefit payable upon a spousal continuation. We define Continuation Purchase Payment as Purchase Payments made on or after the Continuation Date.

The term “withdrawals” as used in describing the death benefits is defined as withdrawals and the fees and charges applicable to those withdrawals.

Effective January 15, 2016, if you have elected the following living benefit features:

•

MarketLock Income Plus or MarketLock For Life Plus, we will not accept subsequent Gross Purchase Payments on or after the 5th contract anniversary from your contract issue date.

•

MarketLock, we will not accept subsequent Gross Purchase Payments on or after the 2nd contract anniversary from your contract issue date.

The Purchase Payment Accumulation Death Benefit was available for election on contracts issued prior to May 1, 2009:

Purchase Payment Accumulation Option

The death benefit is the greatest of:

Contract value; or

Purchase Payments, compounded at 3% annual growth to the earlier of the 75th birthday or the date of death, reduced for withdrawals after the 75th birthday in the same proportion that the contract value was reduced on the date of such withdrawal, and adjusted for Purchase Payments received after the 75th birthday; or

Contract value on the seventh contract anniversary, reduced for withdrawals since the seventh contract anniversary in the same proportion that the contract value was reduced on the date of such withdrawal, and adjusted for Purchase Payments received after the seventh contract anniversary.

Gross Purchase Payments, reduced for any withdrawals in the same proportion that the contract value was reduced on the date of such withdrawal.

The Purchase Payment Accumulation Option can only be elected prior to your 75th birthday.

The Purchase Payment Accumulation Death Benefit Following Spousal Continuation.

Purchase Payment Accumulation Option

If the Continuing Spouse is age 74 or younger on the Continuation Date, the death benefit will be the greatest of:

Contract value; or

Continuation Purchase Payments, compounded at 3% annual growth rate, to the earlier of the Continuing Spouse’s 75th birthday or date of death; reduced for withdrawals after the 75th birthday in the same proportion that the contract value was reduced on the date of such withdrawal, and adjusted for any Continuation Purchase Payments received after the Continuing Spouse’s 75th birthday; or

Contract value on the seventh contract anniversary (from the original contract issue date), reduced for withdrawals since the seventh contract anniversary in the same proportion that the contract value was reduced on the date of such withdrawal, and adjusted for any Continuation Purchase Payments received after the seventh contract anniversary date.

Contract value on the Continuation Date, plus Gross Continuation Purchase Payments, reduced for any withdrawals in the same proportion that the withdrawal reduced contract value on the date of such withdrawal.

If the Continuing Spouse is age 75-82 on the Continuation Date, then the death benefit will be the greatest of:

Contract value; or

Contract value on the Continuation Date, plus Gross Continuation Purchase Payments reduced for any withdrawals in the same proportion that the withdrawal reduced contract value on the date of such withdrawal; or

Maximum anniversary value on any contract anniversary that occurred after the Continuation Date, but prior to the Continuing Spouse’s 83rd birthday. The anniversary value for any year is equal to the contract value on the applicable contract anniversary date, reduced for withdrawals since that contract anniversary in the same proportion that the contract value was reduced on the date of such withdrawal, and adjusted for any Continuation Purchase Payments received since that anniversary date.

F-1

If the Continuing Spouse is age 83-85 on the Continuation Date, then the death benefit will be the greatest of:

Contract value; or

The lesser of:

(1)

(2)

125% of the contract value.

If the Continuing Spouse is age 86 or older on the Continuation Date, the death benefit will be equal to the contract value.

The following provision applies for the Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit if you elected this option prior to May 1, 2007:

If you die on or after your 90th birthday, the death benefit is equal to your contract value. Accordingly, you will not get any benefit from this option if you are age 90 or older at the time of your death.

The following provision applies for the Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit Following Spousal Continuation if the original Owner elected this option prior to May 1, 2007:

If the Continuing Spouse is age 86 or older on the Continuation Date or age 90 or older at the time of death, the death benefit is equal to contract value.

The Optional EstatePlus Benefit was available for election on contracts issued prior to May 1, 2009:

Optional Estateplus Benefit

EstatePlus, an optional earnings enhancement death benefit, may increase the death benefit amount if you have earnings in your contract at the time of death. The fee for the benefit is 0.25% of the average daily ending net asset value allocated to the Variable Portfolios. EstatePlus is not available if you were age 81 or older at the time we issued your contract. This benefit is not available for election in Washington.

You must have elected EstatePlus at the time we issued your contract and you may not terminate this election. Furthermore, EstatePlus is not payable after the Latest Annuity Date. You may pay for EstatePlus and your Beneficiary may never receive the benefit if you live past the Latest Annuity Date.

We will add a percentage of your contract earnings (the “EstatePlus Percentage”), subject to a maximum dollar amount (the “Maximum EstatePlus Benefit”), to the death benefit payable. The contract year of your death will determine the EstatePlus Percentage and the Maximum EstatePlus Benefit.

The table below applies to contracts issued prior to your 70th birthday:

Contract Year of Death	EstatePlus Percentage	Maximum EstatePlus Benefit
Years 0 – 4	25% of Earnings	40% of Purchase Payments
Years 5 – 9	40% of Earnings	65% of Purchase Payments*
Years 10+	50% of Earnings	75% of Purchase Payments*

The table below applies to contracts issued on or after your 70th birthday but prior to your 81st birthday:

Contract Year of Death	EstatePlus Percentage	Maximum EstatePlus Benefit
All Contract Years	25% of Earnings	40% of Purchase Payments*

Purchase Payments received after the 5th contract anniversary must remain in the contract for at least 6 full months to be included as part of Purchase Payments for the purpose of the Maximum EstatePlus Benefit.

What is the Contract Year of Death?

Contract Year of Death is the number of full 12-month periods during which you have owned your contract ending on the date of death. Your Contract Year of Death is used to determine the EstatePlus Percentage and Maximum EstatePlus Benefit as indicated in the table above.

What is the EstatePlus Percentage?

We determine the EstatePlus benefit using the EstatePlus Percentage, indicated in the table above, which is a specified percentage of the earnings in your contract on the date of death. For the purpose of this calculation, earnings equals contract value minus Purchase Payments as of the date of death. If there are no earnings in your contract at the time of death, the amount of your EstatePlus benefit will be zero.

What is the Maximum EstatePlus Benefit?

The EstatePlus benefit is subject to a maximum dollar amount. The Maximum EstatePlus Benefit is equal to a specified percentage of your Purchase Payments, as indicated in the table above.

The EstatePlus Benefit Payable Upon Continuing Spouse’s Death:

A Continuing Spouse may continue EstatePlus if they are age 80 or younger on the Continuation Date or terminate the benefit. If a Continuing Spouse is age 81 or older on the Continuation Date, they may continue the contract only and may not continue the EstatePlus feature. If the Continuing Spouse terminates EstatePlus or dies after the Latest Annuity Date, no EstatePlus benefit will be payable to the Continuing Spouse’s Beneficiary.

The EstatePlus benefit is only available if the original owner elected EstatePlus.

F-2

If the Continuing Spouse had earnings in the contract at the time of his/her death, we will add a percentage of those earnings (the “EstatePlus Percentage”), subject to a maximum dollar amount (the “Maximum EstatePlus Percentage”), to the death benefit payable. The contract year of death will determine the EstatePlus Percentage and the Maximum EstatePlus benefit. The EstatePlus benefit, if any, is added to the death benefit payable under the Purchase Payment Accumulation or the Maximum Anniversary Value option.

On the Continuation Date, if the Continuing Spouse is 69 or younger, the table below shows the available EstatePlus benefit:

Contract Year of Death	EstatePlus Percentage	Maximum EstatePlus Benefit
Years 0-4	25% of Earnings	40% of contract value on the Continuation Date plus any Continuation Purchase Payments*
Years 5-9	40% of Earnings	65% of contract value on the Continuation Date plus any Continuation Purchase Payments*
Years 10+	50% of Earnings	75% of contract value on the Continuation Date plus any Continuation Purchase Payments*

On the Continuation Date, if the Continuing Spouse is between his/her 70th and 81st birthdays, table below shows the available EstatePlus benefit:

Contract Year of Death	EstatePlus Percentage	Maximum EstatePlus Benefit
All Contract Years	25% of Earnings	40% of contract value on the Continuation Date plus any Continuation Purchase Payments*

Continuation Purchase Payments received after the 5th anniversary of the Continuation Date must remain in the contract for at least 6 full months to be included as part of the Continuation Purchase Payments for the purpose of the Maximum EstatePlus Benefit calculation.

What is the Contract Year of Death?

Contract Year of Death is the number of full 12-month periods starting on the Continuation Date and ending on the Continuing Spouse’s date of death. The Contract Year of Death is used to determine the EstatePlus Percentage and Maximum EstatePlus benefit as indicated in the tables above.

What is the EstatePlus benefit?

We determine the EstatePlus benefit using the EstatePlus Percentage, as indicated in the tables above, which is a specified percentage of the earnings in the contract at the time of the Continuing Spouse’s death. For the purpose of this calculation, earnings equals (1) minus (2) where

(1)

equals the contract value on the Continuing Spouse’s date of death;

(2)

equals the contract value on the Continuation Date plus any Continuation Purchase Payment(s).

What is the Maximum EstatePlus amount?

The EstatePlus benefit is subject to a maximum dollar amount. The Maximum EstatePlus benefit is equal to a specified percentage of the contract value on the Continuation Date plus any Continuation Purchase Payments, as indicated in the tables above. The contract value on the Continuation Date is reduced proportionately for withdrawals after the Continuation Date (including any fees or charges applicable to the withdrawal).

We reserve the right to modify, suspend or terminate the Spousal Continuation provision (in its entirety or any component) at any time with respect to prospectively issued contracts.

Appendix G – Sales Charge and Rights of Accumulation for Contracts Issued
Prior to November 9, 2009

Upfront Sales Charge

We may apply an up front sales charge against the Gross Purchase Payments you make to your contract. The sales charge equals a percentage of each Gross Purchase Payment and varies with your investment amount.

Your investment amount is determined on the day we receive a Gross Purchase Payment and is the greater of:

The sum of:

(a)

the Gross Purchase Payment amount;

(b)

the current contract value of this contract; and

(c)

the current contract value of any eligible related contracts as defined under the Rights of Accumulation section below; or

The amount, if any, you agree to contribute to this contract.

Investment Amount	Sales Charge as a Percentage of Gross Purchase Payment Invested
Less than $50,000	5.75%
$ 50,000 but less than $100,000	4.75%
$100,000 but less than $250,000	3.50%
$250,000 but less than $500,000	2.50%
$500,000 but less than $1,000,000	2.00%
$1,000,000 or more	0.50% *

Additionally, a withdrawal charge of 0.50% only applies to Gross Purchase Payment(s) that qualify for the $1,000,000 or more Investment Amount level, if the Gross Purchase Payment(s) are invested less than 12 months at the time of withdrawal. Please see PURCHASE PAYMENTS SUBJECT TO A WITHDRAWAL CHARGE in the prospectus.

We call the above investment levels “breakpoints.” You can reduce your sales charge by increasing your investment amount to reach the next breakpoint. For example, an investment amount of $50,000 brings you to the first breakpoint and entitles you to a reduced sales charge of 4.75%.

Reducing Your Sales Charges

Our Rights of Accumulation feature allows you to combine your current Gross Purchase Payment with other Gross Purchase Payments and/or contract values so that you may take advantage of the breakpoints in the sales charge schedule.

Other sales charge reductions may be available to clients of financial planners, institutions, broker-dealer representatives or registered investment advisers utilizing fee based services. Please see REDUCTION OR ELIMINATION OF FEES, EXPENSES AND ADDITIONAL AMOUNTS CREDITED in the prospectus.

Rights of Accumulation

You may qualify for a reduced sales charge through Rights of Accumulation. Rights of Accumulation involves combining your current Gross Purchase Payment with the current contract values of this contract and eligible related contracts and mutual funds so that you may reduce the sales charge on your current Gross Purchase Payment(s) into this contract. A list of eligible contracts and mutual funds may be obtained from your financial representative. The sales charge corresponding to this combined investment amount is deducted from your current Gross Purchase Payment.

In order to use Rights of Accumulation to reduce your sales charge using contracts other than this contract, you or your financial representative must inform us of the related contracts and mutual funds each time you make a Gross Purchase Payment. The sales charge for Gross Purchase Payments submitted using Rights of Accumulation privileges will be based on the breakpoint corresponding to the sum of (1) your current Gross Purchase Payment; (2) your current contract value; and (3) the current values of your eligible related contracts and mutual funds (not available in Florida and Vermont).

For purposes of calculating your investment amount, the current contract value is the value of your contract and any eligible related contracts as of the close of the market on the last previous NYSE business day less any current day withdrawals, adjusted for any current day transactions.

Example:

Assume your contract has a current value of $20,000. You have a second contract with us which qualifies for Rights of Accumulation that has a current value of $25,000. You make a $5,000 Gross Purchase Payment and inform us of your eligible related contracts at the time you make your payment. The sales charge applicable to the current Gross Purchase Payment is based on the sales charge corresponding to the sum of: (1) your current Gross Purchase Payment ($5,000); (2) the current contract value of this contract ($20,000); and (3) the current contract value of your related contract ($25,000). The sum of these values is $50,000. We deduct the sales charge corresponding to an investment amount of $50,000, or 4.75%, from your $5,000 Gross Purchase Payment. Without the benefit of Rights of Accumulation your sales charge would have been 5.75%.

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or terminate this program at any time.

Appendix H – Example of Sales Charge Calculation for Contracts
Issued on or After November 9, 2009

Assume that at contract issue (in January), you make an initial Gross Purchase Payment of $40,000. We deduct a sales charge of 5.75%. Two months later (in March), assuming that the contract value is $35,000, you make a subsequent Gross Purchase Payment of $100,000, which puts your contract in the investment amount of $140,000 ($100,000 + the greater of $35,000 and $40,000 ($40,000 + $100,000)). We deduct a sales charge of 3.50%. Two months later (in May), you take a withdrawal of $50,000. Three months later (in August), assuming the contract value is $85,000, you make a subsequent Gross Purchase Payment of $160,000, which puts your contract in the investment amount of $250,000 ($160,000 + the greater of $85,000 and $90,000 ($160,000 + $40,000 + $100,000 - $50,000)). We deduct a sales charge of 2.50%. The following year (in February), assuming the contract value is $280,000, you make a subsequent Gross Purchase Payment of $240,000, which puts your contract in the investment amount of $520,000 ($240,000 + the greater of $280,000 and $250,000 ($240,000 + $280,000)). We deduct a sales charge of 2.00%.

Transaction Month	Amount of Gross Purchase Payment	Contract Value on Date Gross Purchase Payment is Received	Sum of Previous Gross Purchase Payments	Sum of Withdrawals Taken	Investment Amount	Sales Charge
January	$40,000	N/A	N/A	N/A	$40,000	5.75%
March	$100,000	$35,000	$40,000	$0	$140,000	3.50%
August	$160,000	$85,000	$140,000	$50,000	$250,000	2.50%
February	$240,000	$280,000	$300,000	$50,000	$520,000	2.00%

Appendix I – Death Benefit Examples

The following examples demonstrate how market performance, subsequent Purchase Payments, and withdrawals impact the death benefit.

The examples are based on a hypothetical contract over an extended period of time and do not assume any specific rate of return nor do they represent how your contract will actually perform.

Examples 1 through 3 below assume election of Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit Option

Example 1: Initial Values

The values shown below are based on the following assumptions:

•

Initial Purchase Payment = $100,000

•

Owner age 65 on the Issue Date

•

Sales charge = 3.50%

Values as of	Purchase Payment Invested	Contract Value	Gross Purchase Payments	Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit
Issue Date	$100,000	$96,500	$100,000	$100,000

Example 2: Impact of Adding Subsequent Purchase Payments

The values shown below are based on the assumptions stated in Example 1 above, in addition to the following:

•

Subsequent Purchase Payment invested in the second Contract Year = $25,000.

•

No withdrawals taken in the first 2 Contract Years.

Values as of	Purchase Payment Invested	Assumed Contract Value	Anniversary Value	Gross Purchase Payments	Maximum Anniversary Value	Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit
Contract Date	$100,000	$96,500	–	$100,000	–	$100,000
1st Anniversary	–	$115,000	$115,000	$100,000	$115,000	$115,000
Year 2 – Day 200	$25,000	$127,000	–	$125,000	$140,000	$140,000
2nd Anniversary	–	$145,000	$145,000	$125,000	$145,000	$145,000

The values of the death benefit are impacted by adding subsequent Purchase Payments and locking in the higher Anniversary Values as follows:

•

The Maximum Anniversary Value is increased to a Higher Anniversary Value on each Benefit Year Anniversary if the Anniversary Value is greater than the current Maximum Anniversary Value.

○

At 1st anniversary, the Contract Value increased and was locked in; the MAV death benefit was $115,000.

•

The Gross Purchase Payments (“GPP”) and Maximum Anniversary Value (“MAV”) Death Benefit are recalculated at the time each subsequent Purchase Payment is received.

○

In year 2, the $25,000 subsequent Purchase Payment increased GPP to $125,000 ($100,000 + $25,000); MAV increased to $140,000 ($115,000 + $25,000); the MAV death benefit was $140,000.

○

At 2nd anniversary, the Contract Value increased and was locked in; the MAV death benefit was $145,000.

I-1

Example 3: Impact of withdrawals on Gross Purchase Payments and Maximum Anniversary Value

The values shown below are based on the assumptions stated in Examples 2 and 3 above, in addition to the following:

•

A withdrawal of $15,000 was taken in the third Contract Year.

Values as of	Assumed Contract Value	Withdrawal Taken	Anniversary Value	Gross Purchase Payments	Maximum Anniversary Value	Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit
2nd Anniversary	$145,000	–	$145,000	$125,000	$145,000	$145,000
Year 3 – Day 100	$156,000	$15,000	–	$112,981	$131,058	$141,000
3rd Anniversary	$144,000	–	$144,000	$112,981	$144,000	$144,000

•

The Gross Purchase Payments and Maximum Anniversary Value are reduced in the same proportion by which the Contract Value is reduced by the withdrawal amount.

○

In year 3, the reduction proportion was 9.6154% ($15,000/$156,000); the GPP reduced to $112,981 [$125,000 × (1 – 9.6154%)]; the MAV reduced to $131,058 [$145,000 × (1 - 9.6154%)]; the MAV death benefit was $141,000 ($156,000-$15,000).

Appendix J – MarketLock extension Parameters

The information below is important to you if you purchased a contract between May 1, 2006 and May 31, 2009 and you elected the MarketLock living benefit. As described in the prospectus, the initial MAV Evaluation Period ends after the seventh contract year. On or about your seventh contract anniversary you will have an opportunity to extend the MAV Evaluation Period (the “Extension”) for an additional seven years. In choosing the Extension, your fee will change as detailed below. No other parameters or terms of your current benefit will change as a result of the Extension.

If you do not wish to elect the Extension, no further action is required by you. Your benefit will continue without change. You will continue to pay the same fee and can take the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount in effect at the end of the MAV Evaluation Period. However, your MAV Benefit Base will no longer be adjusted for higher anniversary values. Please note that if you do not elect the Extension when it is offered, you will not be permitted to extend the MAV Evaluation Period in the future.

As with all important financial decisions, we recommend that you discuss this with your financial representative.

For information on the MarketLock living benefit you elected at the time of purchase, please see the MarketLock section under OPTIONAL LIVING BENEFITS.

How do I elect the Extension?

To elect the Extension, you must complete the Election Form you will receive. The terms of the Extension for contracts purchased between May 1, 2006 and May 31, 2009 are detailed below. The MAV Evaluation Period may be extended for an additional 7 year period.

What is the fee if I elect the Extension?

If you elect the Extension, the fee for the living benefit will be increased by 0.25% as follows:

Current Annualized Fee	Annualized Fee After Extension
0.50%	0.75%

As a reminder, you also have the option to cancel your MarketLock living benefit on your seventh contract anniversary, or any contract anniversary thereafter. If you elect to cancel your living benefit, you will no longer receive the guarantees of the MarketLock benefit and you will no longer be charged the fee.

J-1

Appendix K – OPTIONAL LIVING benefits examples

The following examples demonstrate how increases to the Income Base and withdrawals taken from the contract affect the values and benefits of the MarketLock for Life Plus Living Benefit for contracts issued after May 1, 2008. The examples are based on a hypothetical contract over an extended period of time and do not assume any specific rate of return nor do they represent how your contract will actually perform.

Example 1: Initial Values

The values shown below are based on the following assumptions:

•

Benefit Effective Date = contract issue date

•

Initial Purchase Payment = $100,000

•

Income Credit Percentage = 7.00%

•

Covered Person = Owner age 65 on the Benefit Effective Date

•

Maximum Annual Withdrawal Percentage = 5.00%

Values as of	Purchase Payments Invested	Contract Value	Income Base	Income Credit Base	Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount
Benefit Effective Date	$100,000	$100,000	$100,000	$100,000	$5,000

•

Income Base = Initial Purchase Payment = $100,000

•

Income Credit Base = Initial Purchase Payment = $100,000

•

Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount = Income Base x Maximum Annual Withdrawal Percentage

= $100,000 x 5.00% = $5,000

Example 2: Impact of Adding Subsequent Purchase Payments and Attaining Highest Anniversary Values

The values shown below are based on the assumptions stated in Example 1 above, in addition to the following:

•

Subsequent Purchase Payment invested in the first contract year = $60,000.

•

Subsequent Purchase Payment invested in the second contract year = $80,000.

•

No withdrawals taken in the first two contract years.

Values as of	Purchase Payment Invested	Assumed Contract Value	Anniversary Value	Income Base	Income Credit Base	Income Credit	Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount
Benefit Effective Date	$100,000	$100,000	-	$100,000	$100,000	-	$5,000
Year 1	$60,000	$165,000	-	$160,000	$160,000	-	$8,000
1st Anniversary	-	$175,000	$175,000	$175,000	$175,000	$11,200	$8,750
Year 2	$80,000	$250,000	-	$255,000	$255,000	-	$12,750
2nd Anniversary	-	$287,000	$287,000	$287,000	$287,000	$17,850	$14,350

The values of the feature are impacted by adding subsequent Purchase Payments and attaining Higher Anniversary

Values as follows:

•

The Income Base, Income Credit Base and the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount (“MAWA”) are recalculated at the time each subsequent Purchase Payment is received.

•

The Income Base and Income Credit Base are increased to a Higher Anniversary Value on each anniversary if the Anniversary Value is greater than the current Income Base plus the Income Credit; and the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount (“MAWA”) is recalculated based on the value of the new Income Base.

○

In year 1, a subsequent Purchase Payment of $60,000 was added. The Income Base and Income Credit Base were increased to $160,000 ($100,000 + $60,000); and the MAWA was increased to $8,000 ($160,000 x 5.00%).

○

On the 1st anniversary, the Income Base and Income Credit Base were increased to $175,000 ($175,000 is greater than $160,000 + $11,200 Income Credit); and the MAWA was increased to $8,750 ($175,000 x 5.00%).

K-1

○

In year 2, a subsequent Purchase Payment of $80,000 was added. The Income Base and Income Credit Base were increased to $255,000 ($175,000 + $80,000); and the MAWA was increased to $12,750 ($255,000 x 5.00%).

○

On the 2nd anniversary, the Income Base and Income Credit Base were increased to $287,000 ($287,000 is greater than $255,000 + $17,850 Income Credit); and the MAWA was increased to $14,350 ($287,000 x 5.00%).

Example 3: Impact of Taking Withdrawals up to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount

The values shown below are based on the assumptions stated in Examples 1 and 2 above, in addition to the following:

•

Withdrawals of 5% of the Income Base taken in the fourth and fifth contract years.

Values as of	Withdrawal Taken	Assumed Contract Value	Anniversary Value	Income Base	Income Credit Base	Income Credit	Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount
2nd Anniversary	-	$287,000	$287,000	$287,000	$287,000	$17,850	$14,350
Year 3	-	$300,000	-	$287,000	$287,000	-	$14,350
3rd Anniversary	-	$310,000	$310,000	$310,000	$310,000	$20,090	$15,500
Year 4	$15,500	$312,000	-	$310,000	$310,000	-	$15,500
4th Anniversary	-	$311,000	$311,000	$311,000	$311,000	$0.00	$15,550
Year 5	$15,550	$302,000	-	$311,000	$311,000	-	$15,550
5th Anniversary	-	$305,000	$305,000	$311,000	$311,000	$0.00	$15,550

•

In year 4, $15,500 was withdrawn ($310,000 x 5%).

•

In year 5, $15,550 was withdrawn ($311,000 x 5%).

The values of the feature are impacted by withdrawals taken as follows:

•

The Income Base and Income Credit Base are not reduced because the amount of the withdrawal taken was less than or equal to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount (“MAWA”).

○

In year 4, $15,500 was withdrawn and is equal to the MAWA of $15,500.

○

In year 5, $15,500 was withdrawn and is equal to the MAWA of $15,550.

•

The Income Credit Percentage is reduced to 0% because of the withdrawal taken.

Note: When the Income Base is increased due to the addition of the Income Credit, the Income Credit Base is not increased. The Income Credit Base is increased by the addition of subsequent Purchase Payments received prior to the first contract anniversary, and when the Income Base is increased to the Highest Anniversary Value (as shown in Example 2 above).

Example 4: Impact of Taking Excess Withdrawals in excess of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount

The values shown below are based on the assumptions stated in Examples 1, 2 and 3 above, in addition to the following:

•

Withdrawals of 8% of Income Base taken in the sixth and seventh contract years.

Values as of	Withdrawal Taken	Assumed Contract Value	Anniversary Value	Income Base	Income Credit Base	Income Credit	Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount
5th Anniversary	-	$305,000	$305,000	$311,000	$311,000	$0.00	$15,550
Year 6	$24,880	$280,000	-	$300,028	$300,028	-	$15,001
6th Anniversary	-	$290,000	$290,000	$300,028	$300,028	$0.00	$15,001
Year 7	$24,002	$260,000	-	$289,005	$289,005	-	$14,450
7th Anniversary	-	$230,000	$230,000	$289,005	$289,005	$0.00	$14,450

The values of the feature are impacted by taking withdrawals in excess of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount (“MAWA”) as follows:

•

The Income Base and Income Credit Base are reduced by the same proportion by which the contract value is reduced by the amount in excess of the MAWA.

K-2

○

In year 6, the proportionate reduction was 3.5281% [($24,880 - $15,550) / ($280,000 - $15,550)]; the Income Base was reduced to $300,028 [$311,000 x (1 – 3.5281%)]; the Income Credit Base was reduced to $300,028 [$311,000 x (1 – 3.5281%)]; and the MAWA was reduced to $15,001 ($300,028 x 5.00%).

○

In year 7, the reduction proportion was 3.6738% [($24,002 - $15,001) / ($260,000 - $15,001)]; the Income Base was reduced to $289,005 [$300,028 x (1 – 3.6738%)]; the Income Credit Base was reduced to $289,005 [$300,028 x (1 – 3.5281%)]; and the MAWA was reduced to $14,450 ($289,005 x 5.00%).

•

The Income Credit Percentage is reduced to 0% because the withdrawal taken was in excess of the MAWA.

•

The MAWA is recalculated based on the reduced Income Base.

Example 5: When Contract Value is Reduced to Zero

The values shown below are based on the assumptions stated in Examples 1, 2, 3 and 4 above, in addition to the following:

•

Contract values as shown below and reduced to $0 in Year 11 due to market conditions.

•

No withdrawals taken after the seventh contract year.

Values as of	Assumed Contract Value	Anniversary Value	Income Base	Income Credit Base	Income Credit	Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount
7th Anniversary	$230,000	$230,000	$289,005	$289,005	$0.00	$14,450
8th Anniversary	$150,000	$150,000	$309,236	$289,005	$20,230	$15,462
9th Anniversary	$100,000	$100,000	$329,466	$289,005	$20,230	$16,473
10th Anniversary	$50,000	$50,000	$349,696	$289,005	$20,230	$17,485
Year 11	$0	$0	$349,696	$289,005	-	$17,485
11th Anniversary	$0	$0	$349,696	$289,005	-	$17,485

•

The Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount of $17,485 ($349,696 x 5.00%) will be paid for the lifetime of the Covered Person.

Separate Account and the Company

American General Life Insurance Company (“AGL” or the “Company”) is a stock life insurance company organized under the laws of the State of Texas on April 11, 1960. AGL is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Corebridge Financial, Inc. (“Corebridge”). On March 26, 2026, Corebridge and Equitable Holdings, Inc., announced that they entered into a definitive agreement to combine in an all-stock merger. Under the terms of the merger agreement, both companies will become wholly owned subsidiaries of a newly formed holding company, which will be renamed “Equitable Holdings, Inc.” upon the closing of the transaction. The transaction is expected to close by year-end 2026, subject to certain regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. Upon completion of the transaction, AGL will be an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the new Equitable Holdings, Inc. AGL offers individual term and universal life insurance, as well as fixed, variable and registered index-linked annuities in all states except in New York.

On December 31, 2012, SunAmerica Annuity and Life Insurance Company (“SunAmerica Annuity”), an affiliate of AGL, merged with and into AGL (“Merger”). Prior to this date, the contracts in all states except New York were issued by SunAmerica Annuity.

Variable Annuity Account Seven (“Separate Account”) was originally established by Anchor National Life Insurance Company (“Anchor National”) on August 28, 1998, pursuant to the provisions of Arizona law, as a segregated asset account of Anchor National. Effective March 1, 2003, Anchor National changed its name to AIG SunAmerica Life Assurance Company (“SunAmerica Life”). Effective July 20, 2009, SunAmerica Life changed its name to SunAmerica Annuity and Life Assurance Company. These were name changes only and did not affect the substance of any contract. Prior to December 31, 2012, the Separate Account was a separate account of SunAmerica Annuity. On December 31, 2012, and in conjunction with the merger of AGL and SunAmerica Annuity, the Separate Account was transferred to and became a Separate Account of AGL under Texas law.

The Separate Account meets the definition of a “Separate Account” under the federal securities laws and is registered with the SEC as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940. This registration does not involve supervision of the management of the Separate Account or the Company by the SEC.

The assets of the Separate Account are the property of the Company. However, the assets of the Separate Account, equal to its reserves and other contract liabilities, are not chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business the Company may conduct. Income, gains, and losses, whether or not realized, from assets allocated to the Separate Account are credited to or charged against the Separate Account without regard to other income, gains, or losses of the Company.

The Separate Account is divided into Variable Portfolios, with the assets of each Variable Portfolio invested in the shares of one of the Underlying Funds. The Company does not guarantee the investment performance of the Separate Account, its Variable Portfolios or the Underlying Funds. Values allocated to the Separate Account and the amount of variable annuity income payments will vary with the values of shares of the Underlying Funds, and are also reduced by contract charges and fees.

The basic objective of a variable annuity contract is to provide variable annuity income payments which will be to some degree responsive to changes in the economic environment, including inflationary forces and changes in rates of return available from various types of investments. The contract is designed to seek to accomplish this objective by providing that variable annuity income payments will reflect the investment performance of the Separate Account with respect to amounts allocated to it both before and after the Annuity Date. Since the Separate Account is always fully invested in shares of the Underlying Funds, its investment performance reflects the investment performance of those entities. The values of such shares held by the Separate Account fluctuate and are subject to the risks of changing economic conditions as well as the risk inherent in the ability of the Underlying Funds’ management to make necessary changes in their funds to anticipate changes in economic conditions. Therefore, the owner bears the entire investment risk that the basic objectives of the contract may not be realized, and that the adverse effects of inflation may not be lessened. There can be no assurance that the aggregate amount of variable annuity income payments will equal or exceed the Purchase Payments made with respect to a particular account for the reasons described above, or because of the premature death of an Annuitant.

Another important feature of the contract related to its basic objective is the Company’s promise that the dollar amount of variable annuity income payments made during the lifetime of the Annuitant will not be adversely affected by the actual mortality experience of the Company or by the actual expenses incurred by the Company in excess of

-3-

expense deductions provided for in the contract (although the Company does not guarantee the amounts of the variable annuity income payments).

Custodian

The Company acts as custodian of the Separate Account. We have custody of all assets and cash of the Separate Account and handle the collection of proceeds of shares of the Underlying Funds bought and sold by the Separate Account.

General Account

The general account is made up of all of the general assets of the Company other than those allocated to the Separate Account or any other segregated asset account of the Company. A Purchase Payment may be allocated to the available fixed account options and/or available DCA fixed accounts in connection with the general account, as elected by the owner at the time of purchasing a contract or when making a subsequent Purchase Payment. Assets supporting amounts allocated to fixed account options become part of the Company’s general account assets and are available to fund the claims of all classes of customers of the Company, as well as of its creditors. Accordingly, all of the Company’s assets held in the general account will be available to fund the Company’s obligations under the contracts as well as such other claims.

The Company will invest the assets of the general account in the manner chosen by the Company and allowed by applicable state laws regarding the nature and quality of investments that may be made by life insurance companies and the percentage of their assets that may be committed to any particular type of investment. In general, these laws permit investments, within specified limits and subject to certain qualifications, in federal, state and municipal obligations, corporate bonds, preferred and common stocks, real estate mortgages, real estate and certain other investments.

Annuity Income Payments

Initial Monthly Annuity Income Payments

The initial monthly annuity income payment is determined by applying separately that portion of the contract value allocated to the fixed account options and the Variable Portfolio(s), less any premium tax if applicable, and then applying it to the annuity table specified in the contract for fixed and variable annuity income payments. Those tables are based on a set amount per $1,000 of proceeds applied. The appropriate rate must be determined by the sex (except where, as in the case of certain Qualified contracts and other employer-sponsored retirement plans, such classification is not permitted) and age of the Annuitant and designated second person, if any, and the annuity income option selected.

The dollars applied are then divided by 1,000 and the result multiplied by the appropriate annuity factor appearing in the table to compute the amount of the first monthly annuity income payment. In the case of a variable annuity, that amount is divided by the value of an Annuity Unit as of the Annuity Date to establish the number of Annuity Units representing each variable annuity income payment. The number of Annuity Units determined for the first monthly variable annuity income payment remains constant for the second and subsequent monthly variable annuity income payments, assuming that no reallocation of contract values is made.

Subsequent Monthly Annuity Income Payments

For fixed annuity income payments, the amount of the second and each subsequent monthly fixed annuity income payment is the same as that determined above for the first fixed monthly annuity income payment.

For variable annuity income payments, the amount of the second and each subsequent monthly variable annuity income payment is determined by multiplying the number of Annuity Units, as determined in connection with the determination of the initial monthly variable annuity income payment, above, by the Annuity Unit value as of the day preceding the date on which each monthly variable annuity income payment is due.

Annuity Unit Values

The value of an Annuity Unit is determined independently for each Variable Portfolio.

The annuity tables contained in the contract are based on a 3.5% per annum assumed investment rate. If the actual net investment rate experienced by a Variable Portfolio exceeds 3.5%, variable annuity income payments derived from

-4-

allocations to that Variable Portfolio will increase over time. Conversely, if the actual rate is less than 3.5%, variable annuity income payments will decrease over time. If the net investment rate equals 3.5%, the variable annuity income payments will remain constant. If a higher assumed investment rate had been used, the initial monthly variable annuity income payment would be higher, but the actual net investment rate would also have to be higher in order for variable annuity income payments to increase (or not to decrease).

The payee receives the value of a fixed number of Annuity Units each month. The value of a fixed number of Annuity Units will reflect the investment performance of the Variable Portfolios elected, and the amount of each monthly variable annuity income payment will vary accordingly.

For each Variable Portfolio, the value of an Annuity Unit is determined by multiplying the Annuity Unit value for the preceding month by the Net Investment Factor for the month for which the Annuity Unit value is being calculated. The result is then multiplied by a second factor which offsets the effect of the assumed net investment rate of 3.5% per annum which is assumed in the annuity tables contained in the contract.

Net Investment Factor

The Net Investment Factor (“NIF”) is an index applied to measure the net investment performance of a Variable Portfolio from one day to the next. The NIF may be greater or less than or equal to one; therefore, the value of an Annuity Unit may increase, decrease or remain the same.

The NIF for any Variable Portfolio for a certain month is determined by dividing (a) by (b) where:

(a)

is the Accumulation Unit value of the Variable Portfolio determined as of the end of that month, and

(b)

is the Accumulation Unit value of the Variable Portfolio determined as of the end of the preceding month.

The NIF for a Variable Portfolio for a given month is a measure of the net investment performance of the Variable Portfolio from the end of the prior month to the end of the given month. A NIF of 1.000 results in no change; a NIF greater than 1.000 results in an increase; and a NIF less than 1.000 results in a decrease. The NIF is increased (or decreased) in accordance with the increases (or decreases, respectively) in the value of a share of the underlying fund in which the Variable Portfolio invests; it is also reduced by Separate Account asset charges.

Illustrative Example

Assume that one share of a given Variable Portfolio had an Accumulation Unit value of $11.46 as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on the last business day in September; that its Accumulation Unit value had been $11.44 at the close of the NYSE on the last business day at the end of the previous month. The NIF for the month of September is:

NIF	=	($11.46/$11.44)
	=	1.00174825

The change in Annuity Unit value for a Variable Portfolio from one month to the next is determined in part by multiplying the Annuity Unit value at the prior month end by the NIF for that Variable Portfolio for the new month. In addition, however, the result of that computation must also be multiplied by an additional factor that takes into account, and neutralizes, the assumed investment rate of 3.5 percent per annum upon which the variable annuity income payment tables are based. For example, if the net investment rate for a Variable Portfolio (reflected in the NIF) were equal to the assumed investment rate, the variable annuity income payments should remain constant (i.e., the Annuity Unit value should not change). The monthly factor that neutralizes the assumed investment rate of 3.5 percent per annum is:

		(1/12)
1/	[(1.035)		]	=	0.99713732

In the example given above, if the Annuity Unit value for the Variable Portfolio was $10.103523 on the last business day in August, the Annuity Unit value on the last business day in September would have been:

$10.103523 x 1.00174825 x 0.99713732 = $10.092213

To determine the initial variable annuity income payment, the annuity income payment for variable annuitization is calculated based on our mortality expectations and an assumed investment rate (AIR) of 3.5%. Thus the initial

-5-

variable annuity income payment is the same as the initial payment for a fixed interest payout annuity calculated at an effective rate of 3.5%.

The NIF measures the performance of the funds that are basis for the amount of future variable annuity income payments. This performance is compared to the monthly AIR, and if the rate of growth in the NIF is the same as the monthly AIR the payment remains the same as the prior month. If the rate of growth of the NIF is different than the AIR, then the payment is changed proportionately to the ratio NIF / (1+AIR), calculated on a monthly basis. If the NIF is less than the AIR, then this proportion is less than one and payments are decreased.

Variable Annuity Income Payments

Illustrative Example

Assume that a contract has all of its account value allocated to a single Variable Portfolio. As of the last valuation preceding the Annuity Date, the account was credited with 7543.2456 Accumulation Units, each having a value of $15.432655 (i.e., the account value is equal to 7543.2456 x $15.432655 = $116,412.31). Assume also that the Annuity Unit value for the Variable Portfolio on that same date is $13.256932, and that the Annuity Unit value on the day immediately prior to the second variable annuity income payment date is $13.327695.

The first variable annuity income payment is determined using the annuity factor tables specified in the contract. These tables supply monthly annuity income payment factors, determined by the sex, age of the Annuitant and annuity income option selected, for each $1,000 of applied contract value. If the applicable factor is 5.21 for the annuitant in this hypothetical example, the first variable annuity income payment is determined by multiplying the factor of $5.21 by the result of dividing the account value by $1,000:

First variable annuity income payment = $5.21 x ($116,412.31/$1000) = $606.51

The number of Annuity Units (which will be constant unless the account values is transferred to another account) is also determined at this time and is equal to the amount of the first variable annuity income payment divided by the value of an Annuity Unit on the day immediately prior to annuitization:

Annuity Units = $606.51/$13.256932 = 45.750404

The second variable annuity income payment is determined by multiplying the number of Annuity Units by the Annuity Unit value as of the day immediately prior to the second variable annuity payment due date:

Second variable annuity income payment = 45.750404 x $13.327695 = $609.75

The third and subsequent variable annuity income payments are computed in a manner similar to the second variable annuity income payment.

Note that the amount of the first variable annuity income payment depends on the contract value in the relevant Variable Portfolio on the Annuity Date and thus reflects the investment performance of the Variable Portfolio net of fees and charges during the Accumulation Phase. The amount of that payment determines the number of Annuity Units, which will remain constant during the Annuity Phase (assuming no transfers from the Variable Portfolio). The net investment performance of the Variable Portfolio during the Annuity Phase is reflected in continuing changes during this phase in the Annuity Unit value, which determines the amounts of the second and subsequent variable annuity income payments.

EX-99.(H)(1) 2 d74819dex99h1.htm SUNAMERICA SERIES TRUST FUND PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT SunAmerica Series Trust Fund Participation Agreement

FUND PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT

THIS AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), made and entered into January 1, 2026 (the “Effective Date”) by and among American General Life Insurance Company, organized under the laws of the state of Texas (the “Company”), on behalf of itself and each separate account of the Company named in Schedule A to this Agreement, as may be amended from time to time (each account referred to as the “Account” and collectively as the “Accounts”); SunAmerica Series Trust, an open-end management investment company organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts under a Declaration of Trust dated September 11, 1992, as amended and restated to date (the “Fund”); and SunAmerica Asset Management, LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of Delaware and investment adviser to the Fund (the “Adviser”).

WHEREAS, the Fund engages in business as an open-end management investment company; and

WHEREAS, beneficial interests in the Fund are divided into several series of shares, each representing the interest in a particular managed portfolio of securities and other assets (the “Portfolios”) and such shares are issued to separate accounts of insurance companies to fund variable insurance products and certain qualified pension and retirement plans; and

WHEREAS, the Company, as depositor, has established the Accounts to serve as investment vehicles for certain variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies offered by the Company set forth on Schedule A (the “Contracts”); and

WHEREAS, the Accounts are duly organized, validly existing segregated asset accounts, established by resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company under the insurance laws of the state of Texas, to set aside and invest assets attributable to the Contracts; and

WHEREAS, the Company intends to purchase shares of the Portfolios named in Schedule B, as such schedule may be amended from time to time (the “Designated Portfolios”) on behalf of the Accounts to fund the Contracts; and

WHEREAS, an order of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission” or “SEC”) dated November 5, 2014, (File No. 812-14226) grants certain separate accounts supporting variable life insurance policies, their life insurance company depositors, and their principal underwriters, exemptions from Sections 9(a), 13(a), 15(a) and 15(b) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), and from Rules 6e-2(b)(15) and 6e-3(T)(b)(15) thereunder, to the extent necessary for such separate accounts to purchase and hold Fund shares at the same time that such shares are sold to or held by separate accounts of affiliated and unaffiliated insurance companies supporting either variable annuity contracts or variable life insurance policies, or both, the investment adviser or sub-advisers to a Fund, any general account of an insurance company depositor of such separate accounts (representing seed money investments in the Fund), and/or by qualified pension and retirement plans (the “SEC Order”); and

WHEREAS, the Fund’s principal underwriter (“Distributor”) is a broker-dealer registered as such under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“1934 Act”) and a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of their mutual promises, the Company, the Fund and the Adviser hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I: SALE OF FUND SHARES

1.1 The Fund agrees to sell to the Company those shares of the Designated Portfolios which each Account orders (based on orders placed by Contract owners on that Business Day, as defined below), executing such orders on a daily basis at the net asset value (and with no sales charges) next computed after receipt by the Fund or its designee of the order for the shares of the Fund. For purposes of this Section 1.1, the Company will be the designee of the Fund for receipt of such orders from each Account and receipt by such designee will constitute receipt by the Fund; provided that the Fund receives notice of such order by 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time on the next following Business Day or such later time as permitted by Section 1.8 hereof. “Business Day” will mean any day on which the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading and on which the Fund calculates its net asset value pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

1.2 The Fund agrees to redeem for cash, upon the Company’s request, any full or fractional shares of the Fund held by the Company (based on orders placed by Contract owners on that Business Day), executing such requests on a daily basis at the net asset value next computed after receipt and acceptance by the Fund or its agent of the request for redemption. For purposes of this Section 1.2, the Company will be the designee of the Fund for receipt of requests for redemption from each Account and receipt by such designee will constitute receipt by the Fund; provided the Fund receives notice of such requests for redemption by 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time on the next following Business Day or such later time as permitted by Section 1.8 hereof. After consulting with the Company, the Fund reserves the right to delay payment of redemption proceeds, but in no event may any such delay by the Fund in paying redemption proceeds cause Company or any Account to fail to meet its obligations under Section 22(e) of the 1940 Act.

1.3(a) Fund/SERV Transactions. If the parties choose to use the National Securities Clearing Corporation’s Mutual Fund Settlement, Entry and Registration Verification (“Fund/SERV”) or any other NSCC service, the following provisions shall apply:

The Company and the Fund or their respective designees will each be bound by the rules of the National Securities Clearing Corporation (“NSCC”) and the terms of any NSCC agreement filed by it or their respective designees with the NSCC. Without limiting the generality of the following provisions of this section, the Company and the Fund or its designee will each perform any and all duties, functions, procedures and responsibilities assigned to it and as otherwise established by the NSCC applicable to Fund/SERV, the Mutual Fund Profile Service, the Networking Matrix Level utilized and any other relevant NSCC service or system (collectively, the “NSCC Systems”).

Any information transmitted through the NSCC Systems by any party or its designee to the other or its designee and pursuant to this Agreement will be accurate, complete, and in the format prescribed by the NSCC. Each party or its designee will adopt, implement and maintain procedures reasonably designed to ensure the accuracy of all transmissions through the NSCC Systems and to limit the access to, and the inputting of data into, the NSCC Systems to persons specifically authorized by such party.

On each Business Day, the Company shall aggregate and calculate the net purchase and redemption orders for each Account received by the Company in good form on each Business Day. The Company shall communicate to the Fund or its designee for that Business Day, by the NSCC, the net aggregate purchase or redemption orders (if any) for each Account received by the Closing Time on such Business Day in accordance with Section 1.1 (for net purchases) or Section 1.2 (for net redemptions), as applicable. All orders received by the Company after the Closing Time on a Business Day shall not be transmitted to the NSCC prior to the following Business Day. The

Company will wire payment for net purchase orders in immediately available funds, to an NSCC settling bank account designated by the Fund, in accordance with NSCC rules and procedures on the Business Day following the Business Day on which such purchase orders are communicated in proper form to the NSCC. The Fund will wire payment for net redemption orders in immediately available funds, to an NSCC settling bank account designated by the Company, in accordance with NSCC rules and procedures no later than on the Business Day following the Business Day on which such purchase orders are communicated in proper form to the NSCC.

(b) Manual Transactions. If the parties choose not to use Fund/SERV, if there are technical problems with Fund/SERV, or if the parties are not able to transmit or receive information through Fund/SERV, the following provisions shall apply:

On each Business Day, the Company shall aggregate and calculate the net purchase and redemption orders for each Account received by the Company in good form on such Business Day. The Company will place separate orders to purchase or redeem shares of each Designated Portfolio. Each order shall describe the net amount of shares and dollar amount of each Designated Portfolio to be purchased or redeemed. In the event of net purchases, the Company shall pay for net purchase orders by wiring federal funds to Fund or its designated custodial account (by 2:00 pm EST) on the next Business Day after an order to purchase Designated Portfolio shares is made in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.1 hereof (or such later time as permitted by Section 1.8 hereof). Upon receipt by the Fund of the payment, such funds shall cease to be the responsibility of the Company and shall become the responsibility of the Fund. In the event of net redemptions, the Fund shall pay the net redemption proceeds by wiring federal funds to the Company or its designated custodial account (by 2:00 pm EST) on the next Business Day after an order to redeem a Designated Portfolio’s shares is made in accordance with the provision of Section 1.2 hereof. Upon receipt by the Company of the payment, such funds shall cease to be the responsibility of the Fund and shall become the responsibility of the Company.

1.4 The Fund agrees to make shares of the Designated Portfolios available continuously for purchase at the applicable net asset value per share by the Company on behalf of the Accounts on those days on which the Fund calculates its Designated Portfolio net asset value pursuant to rules of the Commission and the Fund shall calculate such net asset value on each day which the NYSE is open for regular trading; provided, however, that the Board of Directors of the Fund (the “Fund Board”) may refuse to sell shares of any Portfolio to any person, or suspend or terminate the offering of shares of any Portfolio if such action is required by law or by regulatory authorities having jurisdiction or is, in the sole discretion of the Fund Board, acting in good faith and in light of its fiduciary duties under federal and any applicable state laws, necessary in the best interests of the shareholders of such Portfolio.

1.5 The Company agrees to purchase and redeem the shares of the Designated Portfolios offered by the then current prospectus and statement of additional information of the Fund in accordance with the provisions of such prospectus and statement of additional information to the extent not inconsistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

1.6 Issuance and transfer of the Fund’s shares will be by book entry only. Stock certificates will not be issued to the Company or to any Account. Purchase and redemption orders for Fund shares will be recorded in an appropriate title for each Account or the appropriate sub-account of each Account.

1.7 The Fund will furnish same day notice to the Company of the declaration of any income, dividends or capital gain distributions payable on each Designated Portfolio’s shares. The Company hereby elects to receive all such dividends and distributions as are payable on the Portfolio shares in the form of additional

shares of that Portfolio at the ex-dividend date net asset values. The Company reserves the right to revoke this election and to receive all such dividends and distributions in cash. The Fund will notify the Company of the number of shares so issued as payment of such income, dividends and distributions.

1.8 The Fund will make the net asset value per share for each Designated Portfolio available to the Company via electronic means on each Business Day as soon as reasonably practical after the net asset value per share is calculated and will use its best efforts to make such net asset value per share available by 7:00 p.m., Eastern Time, each Business Day. In the event that the Fund is unable to meet the 7:00 p.m. time stated herein, it shall provide additional time for the Company to place orders for the purchase and redemption of Fund shares and wire net payments for the purchase of Fund shares. Such additional time shall be equal to the additional time which the Fund takes to make the net asset value available to the Company. If the Fund provides the Company materially incorrect net asset value per share information (as determined under SEC guidelines), the Fund shall make an adjustment to the number of shares purchased or redeemed for the Accounts to reflect the correct net asset value per share, and the Adviser shall bear the cost of correcting such errors and shall reimburse the Company for any expenses incurred related to correction of the net asset value (including correcting Contract owner accounts). Any material error in the calculation or reporting of net asset value per share, dividend or capital gain information shall be reported to the Company upon discovery by the Fund. Upon timely notification of any overpayment by the Fund to a Contract owner due to a materially incorrect net asset value calculation (as determined by SEC guidelines), the Company shall reasonably cooperate with the Fund and Adviser to remit back to the Fund any such overpayment that has not been paid or credited to the Contract owner, subject to the Adviser’s obligation to reimburse the Company for any reasonable costs and expenses associated with such correction.

2.5 The Fund currently intends for one or more classes of shares of the Portfolios (each, a “Class”) to make payments pursuant to a plan (“Plan”) adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, although it may determine to discontinue such practice in the future. To the extent that any Class of the Fund finances its distribution expenses pursuant to a Plan adopted under Rule 12b-1, the Fund undertakes to comply, in all material respects, with any then current SEC interpretations concerning Rule 12b-1 or any successor provisions.

2.6 The Fund and Adviser represent and warrant that the Fund is lawfully organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of Massachusetts and that the Fund does and will comply in all material respects with applicable provisions of the 1940 Act and any applicable regulations thereunder.

ARTICLE III: FUND COMPLIANCE

3.1 The Fund and Adviser represent and warrant that each Designated Portfolio is currently qualified as a Regulated Investment Company under Subchapter M of the Code, and that they will maintain such qualification (under Subchapter M or any successor or similar provision), and that they will notify the Company immediately upon having a reasonable basis for believing that it has ceased to so qualify or that it might not so qualify in the future.

3.2 The Fund and the Adviser acknowledge that the Fund has obtained the SEC Order granting exemptions from various provisions of the 1940 Act and the rules thereunder to separate accounts supporting variable life insurance policies to the extent necessary to permit them to hold Fund shares when Fund shares also are sold to and held by variable annuity and variable life insurance separate accounts of both affiliated and unaffiliated insurance companies supporting either variable annuity contracts or variable life insurance policies, or both, investment adviser or sub-advisers, or by qualified pension and retirement plans.

3.3 The Fund and Adviser acknowledge that currently or in the future, the Fund’s shares may become available for investment by separate accounts for other insurance companies, which may or may not be affiliated persons (as that term is defined in the 1940 Act) of the Company (collectively with the Company, “Participating Insurers”). In such event, (a) the Fund shall undertake that its Board of Trustees (“Board”) will monitor the Fund for existence of material irreconcilable conflicts that may arise between the contract owners of Participating Insurers, for the purpose of identify and remedying any such conflict and (b) Sections 3.4, 3.5, and 3.6 shall apply. In discharging its responsibilities under Sections 3.4, 3.5, and 3.6 hereinafter, the Company will cooperate and coordinate, to the extent necessary, with the Board and with other Participating Insurers. The Fund agrees that it will require, as a condition to participation, that all Participating Insurers shall have obligations and responsibilities regarding conflicts of interest corresponding to those that are agreed to herein by the Company pursuant to Sections 3.4, 3.5, 3.6 and this Section 3.3.

3.4 Upon request by the Fund’s Board, the Company will report any potential or existing conflicts of which it is or becomes aware between any of its Contract owners or between any of its Contract owners and contract owners of other Participating Insurers. The Company will be responsible for assisting the Fund’s Board in carrying out its responsibilities to identify material conflicts by providing the Board with all information available to it that is reasonably necessary for the Board to consider any issues raised, including information as to a decision by the Company to disregard voting instructions of its Contract owners.

3.5 The Board’s determination of the existence of an irreconcilable material conflict and its implications shall be made known promptly by it to the Company and other Participating Insurers. An irreconcilable material conflict may arise of a variety of reasons, including: (a) an action by any state insurance regulatory authority; (b) a change in applicable federal or state insurance tax, or securities laws or regulations, or a public ruling, private letter ruling, or any similar action by insurance, tax, or securities regulatory authorities; (c) an administrative or judicial decision in any relevant proceeding; (d) the manner in which the investments of any Portfolio are being managed; (e) a difference in voting instructions given by variable annuity contract owners and variable life insurance contract owners or by contract owners of different Participating Insurers; or (f) a decision by a Participating Insurer to disregard the voting instructions of variable contract owners.

3.6 If it is determined by a majority of the Board or a majority of its disinterested Trustees that a material irreconcilable conflict exists that affects the interests of the Company Contract owners, the Company shall, in cooperation with other Participating Insurers whose contract owners’ interests are also affected by the conflict, take whatever steps are necessary to remedy or eliminate the irreconcilable material-conflict, which

steps could include: (a) withdrawing the assets allocable to the separate accounts named in Schedule A from the Fund or any portfolio and reinvesting such assets in a different investment medium, including another Portfolio of the Fund, or submitting the question of whether such segregation should be implemented to a vote of all affected Contract owners and, as appropriate, segregating the assets of any particular group (e.g., annuity contract owners or life insurance contract owners) that votes in favor of such segregation, or offering to the affected contract owners of the option of making such a change; and (b) establishing a new registered management investment company or managed separate account. The Company shall take such steps at its expense if the conflict affects solely the interests of the owners of the Company Contracts, but shall bear only its equitable portion of any such expense if the conflict also affects the interest of the contract owners of one or more Participating Insurers other than the Company, provided, that this sentence shall not be construed to require the Fund to bear any portion of such expense. If a material irreconcilable conflict arises because of the Company’s decision to disregard Contract owner voting instructions and that decision represents a minority position or would preclude a majority vote, the Company may be required, at Fund’s election, to withdraw the separate accounts named in Schedule A invested in the Fund, and no charge or penalty will be imposed against the separate accounts named in Schedule A as a result of such a withdrawal. The Company agrees to take such remedial action as may be required under this Section 3.6 with a view only to the interests of its Contract owners. For purposes of this Section 3.6, a majority of the disinterested members of the Board shall determine whether or not any proposed action adequately remedies any irreconcilable conflict, but in no event will Fund be required to establish a new funding medium for any variable contracts. The Company shall not be required by this Section 3.6 to establish a new funding medium for any variable contract if an offer to do so has been declined by vote of a majority of affected contract owners.

3.7 The Trust and Adviser represent and warrant that each Designated Portfolio is currently, or, if newly organized, will be, qualified as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Code, and that each Designated Portfolio will maintain such qualification (under Subchapter M or any successor or similar provision) and that no other Participating Insurance Companies will purchase shares in any Designated Portfolio for any purpose or under any circumstances that would preclude the Company from “looking through” to the investments of each Designated Portfolio in which it invests, pursuant to the “look through” rules found in Treasury Regulation Section 1.817-5. The Trust, its designee, or the Adviser will notify the Company immediately upon having a reasonable basis for believing that any Designated Portfolio has ceased to so qualify, or that any might not so qualify in the future, within the grace periods afforded by the Code or regulations (and any revenue rulings, revenue procedures, notices, and other published announcements of the Internal Revenue Service interpreting the Code or the regulations).

The Trust and Adviser represent and warrant that for each quarter each Designated Portfolio does and will at all times invest money from the Contracts in such a manner as to ensure that the Contracts will be treated as variable contracts under the Code and the regulations issued thereunder; including, but not limited to, that the Trust will at all times comply with the diversification requirements of Section 817(h) of the Code and any regulations thereunder applicable to variable contracts as defined in Section 817(d) of the Code and any amendments or other modifications or successor provisions to such Sections or regulations (and any revenue rulings, revenue procedures, notices, and other published announcements of the Internal Revenue Service interpreting those Sections or regulations), as if those requirements applied directly to each such Portfolio. The Trust will notify the Company immediately upon having a reasonable basis for believing that the Trust or a Portfolio thereunder has ceased to comply with the diversification requirements or that the Trust or Portfolio might not comply with the diversification requirements in the future. In the event of a breach of this representation and warranty the Trust will take all reasonable steps to adequately diversify the Trust so as to achieve compliance within the grace period afforded by Treasury Regulation Section 1.817-5.

3.8 The Fund and Adviser represent and warrant that the Fund is and shall maintain compliance with Rule

38a-1 under the 1940 Act and Adviser represents and warrants that the Adviser is and shall maintain compliance with Rule 206(4)-7 under the Advisers Act.
