Company: New York Life Ins Co Domicile: NY Established: 1841 A.M. Best Company Rating A++ (1) Superior. Assigned to companies that have, in our opinion, a superior ability to meet their ongoing Standard & Poor's Financial Strength Rating AA+ (2) An insurer rated 'AA' has VERY STRONG financial security characteristics, differing only slightly from those rated higher. Moody's Financial Strength Rating Aaa (1) Insurance companies rated Aaa offer exceptional financial security. While the credit profile of these companies is likely to change, such changes as can be visualized are most unlikely to impair their fundamentally strong position. Fitch Ratings' Insurer Financial Strength Rating AAA (1) Exceptionally strong. 'AAA' IFS ratings denote the lowest expectation of ceased or interrupted payments. They are assigned only in the case of exceptionally strong capacity to meet policyholder and contract obligations. This capacity is highly unlikely to be adversely affected by foreseeable events. Weiss Safety Rating A- (3) Excellent. The company offers excellent financial security. It has maintained a conservative stance in its investment strategies, business operations and underwriting commitments. While the financial position of any company is subject to change, we believe that this company has the resources necessary to deal with severe economic conditions.

Company: Massachusetts Mutual Life Ins Domicile: MA Established: 1851 A.M. Best Company Rating A++ (1) Superior. Assigned to companies that have, in our opinion, a superior ability to meet their ongoing Standard & Poor's Financial Strength Rating AA+ (2) An insurer rated 'AA' has VERY STRONG financial security characteristics, differing only slightly from those rated higher. Moody's Financial Strength Rating Aa2 (3) Insurance companies rated Aa offer excellent financial security. Together with the Aaa group, they constitute what are generally known as high-grade companies. They are rated lower than Aaa companies because long-term risks appear somewhat larger. Fitch Ratings' Insurer Financial Strength Rating AA+ (2) Very strong. 'AA' IFS ratings denote a very low expectation of ceased or interrupted payments. They indicate very strong capacity to meet policyholder and contract obligations. This capacity is not significantly vulnerable to foreseeable events. Weiss Safety Rating A (2) Excellent. The company offers excellent financial security. It has maintained a conservative stance in its investment strategies, business operations and underwriting commitments. While the financial position of any company is subject to change, we believe that this company has the resources necessary to deal with severe economic conditions.

Company: Transamerica Life Ins Co Domicile: IA Established: 1961 A.M. Best Company Rating A+ (2) Superior. Assigned to companies that have, in our opinion, a superior ability to meet their ongoing Standard & Poor's Financial Strength Rating AA- (4) An insurer rated 'AA' has VERY STRONG financial security characteristics, differing only slightly from those rated higher. Moody's Financial Strength Rating A1 (5) Insurance companies rated A offer good financial security. However, elements may be present which suggest a susceptibility to impairment sometime in the future. Fitch Ratings' Insurer Financial Strength Rating AA- (4) Very strong. 'AA' IFS ratings denote a very low expectation of ceased or interrupted payments. They indicate very strong capacity to meet policyholder and contract obligations. This capacity is not significantly vulnerable to foreseeable events. Weiss Safety Rating C (8) Fair. The company offers fair financial security and is currently stable. But during an economic downturn or other financial pressures, we feel it may encounter difficulties in maintaining its financial stability.

'AA' IFS ratings denote a very low expectation of ceased or interrupted payments. They indicate very strong capacity to meet policyholder and contract obligations. This capacity is not significantly vulnerable to foreseeable events. Weiss Safety Rating B (5) Good. The company offers good financial security and has the resources to deal with a variety of adverse economic conditions. It comfortably exceeds the minimum levels for all of our rating criteria, and is likely to remain healthy for the near future. However, in the event of a severe recession or major financial crisis, we feel that this assessment should be reviewed to make sure that the firm is still maintaining adequate financial strength.
