Income Option 1 Sunmerica Income uilder Single Life Joint Life Single Life Joint Life 45 or later 5.5% 5% 65 or later 4.75% for life 4.25% for life PIP: 4% (3%* if withdrawals begin before age 65) 45 to % for life 3.25% for life MW percentage guaranteed for life Income Option 2 Single Life Joint Life 65 or later 6.5% 6% 45 to % 5% PIP: 3%* Income Option 3 Single Life Joint Life 65 or later 5% for life 4.5% for life 45 to % for life 3.25% for life MW percentage guaranteed for life Custom llocation Income Option Single Life Joint Life 45 or later 4.5% 4% PIP: 4% (3%* if withdrawals begin before age 65) *If withdrawals begin before age 65 and the Income ase increases due to investment gains on a contract anniversary on or after the 65th birthday, PIP automatically increases to 4%. MW: Maximum amount of annual income investors can withdraw while contract value remains. Withdrawals that exceed the MW (except for a contract s RMD) are considered excess withdrawals and will reduce the Income ase and Income Credit ase in the same proportion by which the contract value is reduced by the excess withdrawal. Excess withdrawals will generally not eliminate the lifetime income guarantee, except as noted (see Excess Withdrawals below). PIP: Ensures guaranteed lifetime income in the event the contract value is completely depleted due to market volatility and/or withdrawals taken within the feature s parameters. (Note: With Income Plus Income Option 3 or Income uilder, the annual percentage available for lifetime income will not change if the contract value is completely depleted due to market volatility and/or withdrawals taken within the feature s parameters; annual income paid after this point is simply referred to as the Protected Income Payment.) More important information about income protection features: n Income ase is the amount on which guaranteed withdrawals are based. It is initially equal to the first eligible purchase payment. On each contract anniversary, the Income ase is set to equal the greater of (a) the anniversary value, if greater than all previous anniversary values, or (b) the Income ase plus the income credit amount (if eligible) during the income credit period. The Income ase is automatically evaluated on contract anniversaries while the contract value is greater than zero and the feature is still in effect, provided the client has not reached the Latest nnuity Date (95th birthday). The Income ase will be increased each time an Eligible Purchase Payment is made and adjusted for excess withdrawals. n Eligible Purchase Payments are 100% of purchase payments received in the first contract year only. Income credits and spousal continuation contributions are not included in the calculation of eligible purchase payments. n nniversary Value is the contract value on the contract anniversary (including any payment enhancements and spousal continuation contributions), less ineligible purchase payments. n Income Credit is the annual amount that may be added to the Income ase during the Income Credit Period. For Income Plus, the annual income credit is 6% of the Income Credit ase in years that no withdrawals are taken. If withdrawals are less than 6% annually and do not exceed the MW associated with the income option elected, the annual income credit percentage will be reduced by the percentage of the Income ase withdrawn; any excess withdrawals taken (except for a contract s RMD as noted) in a given year will void the annual income 2

DC and utomatic Rebalancing Clients may use a Dollar Cost veraging (DC) fixed account to systematically invest into the investment choices available with Income Plus or Income uilder.

For Income uilder, the annual income credit is 8% of the Income Credit ase in years that no withdrawals are taken. If any withdrawals are taken with Income uilder in a given year, the annual income credit will not be available on the next contract anniversary. n Income Credit ase is a component of the feature that is used to calculate the annual income credit. Initially, the Income Credit ase is equal to the first eligible purchase payment. If the Income ase steps up to the highest anniversary value on a contract anniversary, the Income Credit ase will also step up to this amount. The Income Credit ase will not increase due to the addition of the income credit. The Income Credit ase will be increased each time an eligible purchase payment is made and adjusted for excess withdrawals. n Income Credit Period is the number of years the annual income credit is available. It begins on the contract issue date and ends 12 years later. n Excess Withdrawals are withdrawals that exceed the annual maximums specified for each feature. Excess withdrawals will reduce the value of the Income ase and also reduce the Income Credit ase. If an excess withdrawal reduces the contract value to zero, the feature will terminate and the client will no longer be eligible to take withdrawals or receive lifetime income payments. n Cancellation: Features may be cancelled on the 5th contract anniversary or any contract quarter anniversary after that. 3

The Portfolios are subject to derivative and leverage risks. These investment strategies may be riskier than other investment strategies and may result in gains or losses substantially greater than the cost of the position. While these strategies can be useful and inexpensive ways of reducing risk, they are sometimes ineffective due to unexpected changes in the market, exchange rates or other factors. When the Portfolios use derivatives for leverage, the Portfolios will tend to be more volatile, resulting in larger gains or losses in response to the fluctuating prices of the Portfolios investments. The Portfolios are subject to counterparty risk (i.e., the risk that a counterparty will not perform its obligations) and short sales risk. Losses from short sales are potentially unlimited, whereas losses from purchases can be no greater than the total amount invested. Credit risk (i.e., the risk that an issuer might not pay interest when due or repay principal at maturity of the obligation) could affect the value of the investments in the Portfolio. There is no assurance that each Portfolio s investment process will achieve its specific investment objectives. dditional information about the Sunmerica Dynamic Portfolios: The overall level of exposure to the equity market may be increased or decreased through investments made in both the fund-of-funds component and the overlay component of the Portfolio. These investments are subject to certain risks including stock market and interest rate fluctuations, as well as additional risks associated with investments in certain asset classes. The Portfolios and underlying portfolios may engage in frequent trading of portfolio securities to achieve their investment goals. ctive trading may result in high portfolio turnover and correspondingly greater transaction costs for the Portfolios and underlying portfolios. Small movements in interest rates (both increases and decreases) may quickly and significantly reduce the value of certain mortgage-backed securities. These securities also are subject to risk of default, particularly during periods of economic downturn. The portfolio operating expenses for a fund-of-funds are typically higher than those of a traditional portfolio because investors pay the expenses of that portfolio and indirectly pay a proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying portfolios. The Portfolios are subject to risk of conflict with insurance company interests given certain aspects of portfolio management are intended to mitigate the financial risks the insurer faces in connection with optional income protection guarantees.

In turn, the Master Protected Fund invests in shares of an underlying fund, the merican Funds Insurance Series sset llocation Fund (the Underlying Fund ), hedge instruments (primarily exchange-traded futures) and cash or cash equivalents. Investing in a Feeder Fund will result in higher fees and expenses than investing in a portfolio that invests directly in securities. Please see the prospectus for more information regarding the master-feeder fund structure. Hedge assets include cash and liquid transparent financial futures contracts that are tailored to the underlying holdings in the merican Funds Insurance Series sset llocation Fund. Futures contracts on major equity indices, U.S. Treasury bonds, and currencies are typically used. Futures contracts are used only to reduce risk relative to a long-equity portfolio. In situations of extreme market volatility, the exchange-traded futures could potentially reduce the Master Protected Fund s net economic exposure to equity securities to 0%.

Portfolios that invest in bonds are subject to changes in their value when prevailing interest rates change. Portfolios that invest in non-u.s. stocks and bonds, including emerging market investments, are subject to additional risks, such as political and social instability, differing securities regulations and accounting standards, limited public information, plus special risks that may include foreign taxation, currency risks, risks associated with possible differences in financial standards, and other monetary and political risks associated with future political and economic developments. Investments that concentrate on one economic sector or geographic region are generally subject to greater volatility than more diverse investments. Portfolios that invest in high-yield bonds tend to be subject to greater price swings than portfolios that invest in higher-rated bonds. Payment of interest and principal is not assured. Investments in securities related to gold and other precious metals and minerals are considered speculative and are impacted by a host of worldwide economic, financial and political factors. Money market instruments generally offer stability and income, but an investment in these securities, like investments in the other portfolios, is not guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Portfolios that invest in technology companies are generally subject to additional risks. They may be affected by short product cycles, aggressive pricing of products and services, competition from new market entrants, and obsolescence of existing technology. s a result, a technology portfolio s returns may be considerably more volatile than a fund that does not invest in technology companies.
