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(S) - The person(s) on whose life (lives) we base annuity payments.
For a Contract issued pursuant to IRC Section 403(b), the Participant must be
the Annuitant. Under an IRA the owner is always the Annuitant.
ANNUITY DATE - The date on which annuity income payments are to begin, as
selected by you.
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 (IES) - The person(s) 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 this Contract. The term "we," "us" and "our" are also used
to identify the issuing Company.
CONTRACT - The variable annuity contract issued by American General Life
Insurance Company ("AGL"). This includes any applicable group master contract,
certificate and endorsement.
CONTRACTHOLDER - The party named as the Contractholder on the annuity Contract
issued by AGL. The Contractholder may be an Employer, a retirement plan trust,
an association or any other entity allowed under the law.
EMPLOYER - The organization specified in the Contract which offers the Plan to
its employees.
ERISA - Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (as amended).
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 and/or living benefits which are
in excess of portions of contract value allocated to the Variable Portfolios.

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.

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.
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 separately from the
Company's regular portfolio of investment and general accounts. The Separate
Account is established by the Company to purchase and hold the Variable
Portfolios.
TRUSTS - Collectively refers to the Anchor Series Trust and the SunAmerica
Series Trust.
TSA - A tax sheltered annuity qualified under and issued in accordance with the
provisions of Section 403(b) of the IRC.
UNDERLYING FUNDS - The underlying investment portfolios of the Trusts in which
the Variable Portfolios invest.

HIGHLIGHTS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Polaris Plus Variable Annuity is a Contract between you and the Company. It
is designed primarily for IRC 403(b) and IRA Contract investments to help you
meet long-term financial goals. There are minimum Purchase Payment amounts
required to purchase a Contract. Purchase Payments may be invested in a variety
of Variable Portfolios and Fixed Accounts. Like all deferred annuities, the
Contract has an Accumulation Phase and an Income Phase. During the Accumulation
Phase, you invest money in your Contract. The Income Phase begins when you
start receiving income payments from your annuity to provide for your
retirement.
FREE LOOK: You may cancel your contract within 10 days after receiving it (or
whatever longer period is required in your state), and not be charged a
withdrawal charge. You will receive whatever your contract is worth on the day
that we receive your request. The amount refunded may be more or less than your
original Purchase Payments. We will return your original Purchase Payments if
required by law. PLEASE SEE FREE LOOK IN THE PROSPECTUS.
EXPENSES: There are fees and charges associated with the Contract. Each year we
deduct separate account charges, which equal a maximum of 1.25% annually of the
average daily net asset value of your Contract allocated to the Variable
Portfolios. There are investment charges on amounts invested in the Variable
Portfolios. If you elect optional features available under the Contract we may
charge additional fees for these features. A separate withdrawal charge
schedule applies to each Purchase Payment, depending on your employment status
at the time the Contract is issued. The maximum amount of the withdrawal charge
declines over time. After a Purchase Payment has been in the Contract for six
complete years, or five complete years if you were separated from service at
the time the Contract was issued, withdrawal charges no longer apply to that
Purchase Payment. PLEASE SEE FEE TABLE, PURCHASING A POLARIS PLUS VARIABLE
ANNUITY AND EXPENSES IN THE PROSPECTUS.
ACCESS TO YOUR MONEY: You may withdraw money from your contract during the
Accumulation Phase. If you make a withdrawal, earnings are deemed to be
withdrawn first. You will pay income taxes on earnings and untaxed
contributions when you withdraw them. Annuity income payments received during
the Income Phase are considered partly a return of your original investment. A
federal tax penalty may apply if you make withdrawals before age 59 1/2. As
noted above, a withdrawal charge may apply. PLEASE SEE ACCESS TO YOUR MONEY AND
TAXES IN THE PROSPECTUS.
DEATH BENEFIT: A death benefit feature is available under the contract which is
payable to your Beneficiaries in the event of your death during the
Accumulation Phase. PLEASE SEE DEATH BENEFITS IN THE PROSPECTUS.
ANNUITY INCOME OPTIONS: When you switch to the Income Phase, you can choose to
receive annuity income payments on a variable basis, fixed basis or a
combination of both. You may also choose from five different annuity income
options, including an option for annuity income that you cannot outlive. PLEASE
SEE ANNUITY INCOME OPTIONS IN THE PROSPECTUS.
INQUIRIES: If you have questions about your contract, call your financial
representative or contact us at Annuity Service Center, P.O. Box 15570,
Amarillo, Texas 79105-5570. Telephone Number: (800) 445-7862 and website
(www.aig.com/annuities). PLEASE SEE ALLOCATION OF PURCHASE PAYMENTS IN THE
PROSPECTUS FOR THE ADDRESS TO WHICH YOU MUST SEND PURCHASE PAYMENTS.
ALL MATERIAL STATE VARIATIONS ARE DESCRIBED IN APPENDIX D - STATE CONTRACT
AVAILABILITY AND/OR VARIABILITY.

MAXIMUM AND MINIMUM EXPENSE EXAMPLES

These examples are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the
contract with the cost of investing in other variable annuity contracts. These
costs include owner transaction expenses, the contract maintenance fee if any,
separate account annual expenses, available optional feature fees and
Underlying Fund expenses.
The examples assume that you invest $10,000 in the contract for the time
periods indicated; that your investment has a 5% return each year; and you
incur the maximum or minimum fees and expenses of the Underlying Fund as
indicated in the examples. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower,
based on these assumptions, your costs at the end of the stated period would
be:

EXPLANATION OF EXPENSE EXAMPLES
1. The purpose of the Expense Examples is to show you the various expenses you
would incur directly and indirectly by investing in the variable annuity
contract. The Expense Examples represent both fees of the separate account
as well as the maximum and minimum total annual Underlying Fund operating
expenses. Additional information on the Underlying Fund fees can be found
in the Trust prospectuses.
2. 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.
3. Examples reflecting application of optional features and benefits use the
highest fees and charges at which those features are being offered. The
fee for the Income Protector feature is not calculated as a percentage of
your daily net asset value but on other calculations more fully described
in the prospectus.
4. 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.
THESE EXAMPLES SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED A REPRESENTATION OF PAST OR FUTURE
EXPENSES. ACTUAL EXPENSES MAY BE GREATER OR LESS THAN THOSE SHOWN.

THE POLARIS PLUS VARIABLE ANNUITY
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We issue the Polaris Plus variable annuity to certain groups and/or individuals
which qualify to purchase Contracts to fund their Tax Sheltered Annuity ("TSA")
pursuant to Section 403(b) of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") or IRA
retirement savings investments pursuant to Section 408(b) of the IRC. For TSA
Contracts, the Contract may be issued to a group Contractholder (usually your
employer or plan trustee) for the benefit of the Participants in the group (you
and other employees in the group).
As a Participant under a group Contract you will receive a certificate which
explains your rights under the Contract. In certain situations an individual
Contract will be issued directly to you.
A TSA Polaris Plus participant may choose to convert their 403(b) to an IRA if
they separate from service. Generally, all of the same features, charges and
benefits will apply to a Contract converted to an IRA, as was applicable to a
participant's TSA, so long as no conflict arises with the appropriate
provisions of the IRC. We will only specifically address IRAs in this
Prospectus to the extent that applicable IRC provisions and/or any other state
or federal laws, require different treatment.
Generally, an annuity is a Contract between you and an insurance company. For
Plans governed by Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"),
the Contract may be owned by Plan Sponsor, Trustee or some other employee
association. Your retirement plan allows you to invest money on which you have
not already paid taxes and your earnings grow tax deferred. In addition,
funding that Plan with a variable annuity provides certain benefits. You should
decide whether the benefits are right for you. Among other features the
Contract offers:
o Investment Options: Various investment options available in one
Contract, including both variable and fixed-rate investing.
o Death Benefit: If you die during the Accumulation Phase, the Company
pays a death benefit to your Beneficiary.
o Guaranteed Income: Once you begin the Income Phase, you receive a
stream of annuity income payments for your lifetime if elected, or
another available period you select.
We developed this variable annuity to help you contribute to your retirement
savings. Your contributions may come from payroll deductions arranged through
your employer for TSAs. Contracts may also be funded by direct transfers or
direct rollovers from other retirement savings plans. Existing Polaris Plus
403(b) Contracts may be converted to an IRA upon a separation from service.
Additionally, those IRA Contract holders may make on-going contributions
subject to restrictions set forth in the IRC.
This Contract has two stages, the Accumulation Phase and the Income Phase. Your
Contract is in the Accumulation Phase when you make payments into the Contract.
During the Accumulation Phase, generally you have the advantage of making
Purchase Payments before paying taxes on the contributions. In addition, as a
function of IRC provisions, taxes on your earnings are deferred until
withdrawal. The Income Phase begins when you request that we start making
annuity income payments to you out of the money accumulated in your Contract.
The Contract is called a "variable" annuity because it allows you to invest in
Variable Portfolios which, like mutual funds, have different investment
objectives and performance. You can gain or lose money if you invest in these
Variable Portfolios. The amount of money you accumulate in your Contract
depends on the performance of the Variable Portfolios in which you invest.
Fixed Accounts, if available, earn interest at a rate set and guaranteed by the
Company. If you allocate money to a Fixed Account, the amount of money that
accumulates in the Contract depends on the total interest credited to the
particular Fixed Account in which you invest.
For more information on investment options available under this contract,
PLEASE SEE INVESTMENT OPTIONS BELOW.
As a function of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC"), you may be assessed a 10%
federal tax penalty on any withdrawal made prior to your reaching age 59 1/2.
PLEASE SEE TAXES BELOW. Additionally, you will be charged a withdrawal charge
on each Purchase Payment withdrawn prior to the end of the applicable
withdrawal charge period, PLEASE SEE FEE TABLE ABOVE. Because of these
potential penalties, you should fully discuss all of the benefits and risks of
this contract with your financial representative prior
to purchase.

PURCHASING A POLARIS PLUS VARIABLE ANNUITY
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A Purchase Payment is the money you give us to buy a Contract. Any additional
money you give us to invest in your Contract after purchase is a subsequent
Purchase Payment. You make payments into your Contract in two ways:
o salary reduction contributions, arranged through your employer;
and/or
o direct transfer or direct rollover from an existing retirement plan.
If you enter into a salary reduction agreement with your employer to make
Purchase Payments, there is no minimum initial payment. If you do not establish
such a salary reduction agreement, and only contribute through direct transfer
or direct rollover, the minimum initial Purchase Payment is $2,000.
7
We reserve the right to refuse any Purchase Payment. Furthermore, we reserve
the right to require Company approval prior to accepting Purchase Payments
greater than $1,500,000. For contracts owned by a non-natural owner, we reserve
the right to require prior Company approval to accept Purchase Payments greater
than $250,000. We reserve the right to change the amount at which pre-approval
is required at any time. Purchase Payments that would cause total Purchase
Payments in all contracts issued by the Company or its affiliate, The United
States Life Insurance Company in the City of New York, to the same owner and/or
Annuitant to exceed these limits may also be subject to Company pre-approval.
For any contracts that meet or exceed these dollar amount limitations, we
further reserve the right to limit the death benefit amount payable in excess
of contract value at the time we receive all required 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.
NON-NATURAL OWNERSHIP
A trust, corporation or other non-natural entity may only purchase this
contract if such entity has sufficiently demonstrated an Insurable Interest in
the Annuitant selected. FOR MORE INFORMATION ON NON-NATURAL OWNERSHIP, PLEASE
SEE TAXES BELOW.
MAXIMUM ISSUE AGE
In general, we will not issue a TSA or IRA contract to anyone who is age 70 1/2
or older, unless it is shown that the minimum distribution required by the IRS
is being made. Upon proof satisfactory to us that minimum distribution
requirements are being satisfied or are not yet required, we may issue a
contract to anyone under age 81. If we learn of a misstatement of age, we
reserve the right to fully pursue our remedies including termination of the
contract and/or revocation of any age-driven benefits.
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 of the contract.
JOINT OWNERSHIP
We allow this contract to be jointly owned by spouses (as determined for
federal tax law purposes). 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.
Certain states require that the benefits and features of the contract be made
available to domestic or civil union partners ("Domestic Partners") who qualify
for treatment as, or are equal to, spouses under state law. There are also
states that require us to issue the contract to non-spousal joint Owners.
However, non-spousal joint Owners (which can include Domestic Partners) who
jointly own or are Beneficiaries of a contract should consult with their tax
adviser and/or financial representative as, under current tax law, they are not
eligible for spousal continuation of the contract. Therefore, the ability of
such non-spousal joint Owners to fully benefit from certain benefits and
features of the contract, such as optional living benefit(s), if applicable,
that guarantee withdrawals over two lifetimes may be limited.
ASSIGNMENT OF THE CONTRACT/CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP
You may assign this contract before beginning the Income Phase by sending a
written request to us at the Annuity Service Center for an assignment. Your
rights and those of any other person with rights under this contract will be
subject to the assignment. We will not be bound by any assignment until written
notice is processed by us at our Annuity Service Center and you have received
confirmation. 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 if it changes the risk
profile of the owner of the contract, as determined in our sole discretion, if
no Insurable Interest exists or if not permitted by the Internal Revenue Code.
PLEASE SEE THE STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR DETAILS ON THE TAX
CONSEQUENCES OF AN ASSIGNMENT. You should consult a qualified tax adviser
before assigning the contract.
ALLOCATION OF PURCHASE PAYMENTS
In order to issue your contract, we must receive your initial Purchase Payment
and all required paperwork in Good Order, including Purchase Payment allocation
instructions at our Annuity Service Center. We will accept initial and
subsequent Purchase Payments by electronic transmission from certain
broker-dealer firms. In connection with arrangements we have to transact
business electronically, we may have agreements in place whereby your
broker-dealer may be deemed our agent for receipt of your Purchase Payments.
Thus, if we have an agreement with a broker-dealer deeming them our agent,
Purchase Payments received by the broker-dealer will be priced as of the time
they are received by the broker-dealer. However, if we do not have an agreement
with a broker-dealer deeming them our agent, Purchase Payments received by the
broker-dealer will not be priced until they are received by us. You assume any
risk in market fluctuations if you submit your Purchase Payment directly to a
broker-dealer that is not deemed our agent, should there be a delay in that
broker-dealer delivering your Purchase Payment to us. Please check with
8
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.
An initial Purchase Payment will be priced within two business days after it is
received by us in Good Order if the Purchase Payment is received before Market
Close. If the initial Purchase Payment is received in Good Order after Market
Close, the initial Purchase Payment will be priced within two NYSE business
days after the next NYSE business day. We allocate your initial Purchase
Payment as of the date such Purchase Payment is priced. If we do not have
complete information necessary to issue your contract, we will contact you. If
we do not have the information necessary to issue your contract within five
NYSE business days, we will send your money back to you, or obtain your
permission to keep your money until we get the information necessary to issue
the contract.
Any subsequent Purchase Payment 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
subsequent Purchase Payment is received 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. PLEASE SEE INVESTMENT OPTIONS BELOW.
Purchase Payments submitted by check can only be accepted by the Company at the
Payment Center at the following address:
American General Life Insurance Company
Annuity Service Center
P.O. Box 100330
Pasadena, CA 91189-0330
Purchase Payments sent to the Annuity Service Center will be forwarded and
priced when received at the Payment Center.
Overnight deliveries of Purchase Payments can only be accepted at the following
address:
American General Life Insurance Company
Annuity Service Center
Building #6, Suite 120
2710 Media Center Drive
Los Angeles, CA 90065-1750
Delivery of Purchase Payments to any other address will result in a delay in
crediting your contract until the Purchase Payment is received at the Payment
Center.
ACCUMULATION UNITS
When you allocate a Purchase Payment to the Variable Portfolios, we credit your
contract with Accumulation Units of the Separate Account. We base the number of
Accumulation Units you receive on the unit value of the Variable Portfolio as
of the day we process your Purchase Payment, as described under ALLOCATION OF
PURCHASE PAYMENTS above, if before that day's Market Close, or on the next
business day's unit value if we process your Purchase Payment after that day's
Market Close. The value of an Accumulation Unit goes up and down based on the
performance of the Variable Portfolios.
We determine the value of each Accumulation Unit at the close of the NYSE every
business day, by multiplying the Accumulation Unit value for the immediately
preceding business day by a factor for the current business day. The factor is
determined by:
1. dividing the net asset value per share of the Underlying Fund at the
end of the current 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 business day; and
2. 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 Purchase Payment from you on Wednesday. You allocate
the money to Variable Portfolio A. We determine that the value of an
Accumulation Unit for Variable Portfolio A is $11.10 at Market Close on
Wednesday. We then divide $25,000 by $11.10 and credit your contract on
Wednesday night with 2,252.2523 Accumulation Units for 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. Certain states require us
to return your Purchase Payments upon a free look request. Additionally, all
contracts issued as an IRA require the full return of Purchase Payments upon a
free look.
9
If your contract was issued either in a state requiring return of Purchase
Payments or as an IRA, and you cancel your contract during the free look
period, we return the greater of (1) your 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 invest your money in the Cash Management Variable Portfolio during the free
look period. If we place your money in the Cash Management Variable Portfolio
during the free look period, we will allocate your money according to your
instructions at the end of the applicable free look period. PLEASE SEE THE
STATE CONTRACT AVAILABILITY AND/OR VARIABILITY APPENDIX FOR INFORMATION ABOUT
THE FREE LOOK PERIOD IN YOUR STATE.
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
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
VARIABLE PORTFOLIOS
The Variable Portfolios invest in the Underlying Funds of the Trusts.
Additional Variable Portfolios may be available in the future. The Variable
Portfolios are only available through the purchase of certain insurance
contracts we offer.
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 adviser's or
subadviser's reputation and tenure, brand recognition, 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 adviser and/or subadviser(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. We offer Underlying Funds of the Anchor
Series Trust and SunAmerica Series Trust at least in part because they are
managed by SunAmerica Asset Management, LLC ("SAAMCo"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of AGL.
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.
You are responsible for allocating Purchase Payments to the Variable Portfolios
as is 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
Underlying Funds 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.
During periods of low short-term interest rates, and in part due to contract
fees and expenses, the investment return of the Cash Management Variable
Portfolio may become extremely low and possibly negative. In the case of
negative returns, your investment in the Cash Management Variable Portfolio
will lose value.
The Trusts serve as the underlying investment vehicles for other variable
annuity contracts issued by the Company and other affiliated and unaffiliated
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 do not provide investment advice, nor do we recommend or endorse any
particular Underlying Fund. The Underlying Funds along with their respective
advisers are listed below.

11
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
Your contract may offer Fixed Accounts for varying guarantee periods. A Fixed
Account may be available for differing lengths of time (such as 1, 3, or 5
years). Each guarantee period may have different guaranteed interest rates.
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. Please check with your financial
representative regarding the availability of Fixed Accounts.
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:
o Initial Rate: The rate credited to any portion of the initial
Purchase Payment allocated to a Fixed Account.
o Current Rate: The rate credited to any portion of a subsequent
Purchase Payment allocated to a Fixed Account.
o 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.
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. PLEASE SEE ACCESS TO YOUR MONEY BELOW.
If available, you may systematically transfer interest earned in available
Fixed Accounts into any of the Variable Portfolios on certain periodic
schedules offered by us. 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.
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
You may invest initial rollover Purchase Payments in the dollar cost averaging
("DCA") Fixed Accounts, if available. The minimum Purchase Payment that you
must invest for the 6-month DCA Fixed Account is $600 and for the 12-month DCA
Fixed Account is $1,200. Purchase Payments less than these minimum amounts will
automatically be allocated to Variable Portfolios according to your
instructions or your current allocation instruction on file.
DCA Fixed Accounts credit a fixed rate of interest and can only be elected to
facilitate a DCA program. PLEASE SEE DOLLAR COST AVERAGING PROGRAM BELOW for
more information. Interest is credited to amounts allocated to the DCA Fixed
Accounts while your money is transferred to the Variable Portfolios 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. However, when using a DCA Fixed Account, the annual interest rate is
paid on a declining balance as you systematically transfer your money to the
Variable Portfolios. Therefore, the actual effective yield will be less than
the stated annual crediting rate. Please note, for administrative reasons, we
accumulate all subsequent Purchase Payments made in a given month into a single
trade, and apply the fixed rate of interest available
12
at that time. We reserve the right to change the availability of DCA Fixed
Accounts offered, unless state law requires us to do otherwise.
DOLLAR COST AVERAGING PROGRAM
The DCA program allows you to invest gradually in available investment options
at no additional cost. Under the 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"). 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.
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.
If you choose to allocate subsequent 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 that subsequent
Purchase Payment 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).
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 unless your Beneficiary instructs
us otherwise and we will transfer the remaining money according to the current
allocation instructions on file.
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:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
MONTH ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUE UNITS PURCHASED
<S> <C> <C>
1 $ 7.50 100
2 $ 5.00 150
3 $10.00 75
4 $ 7.50 100
5 $ 5.00 150
6 $ 7.50 100
</TABLE>
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.
WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO MODIFY, SUSPEND OR TERMINATE THE DCA PROGRAM AT ANY
TIME AND WE WILL PROVIDE YOU NOTICE AT LEAST 30 DAYS PRIOR TO MODIFICATION,
SUSPENSION OR TERMINATION OF THE DCA PROGRAM. IN THE EVENT OF SUSPENSION OR
TERMINATION OF THE DCA PROGRAM, WE WILL TRANSFER THE REMAINING MONEY ACCORDING
TO YOUR CURRENT DCA TARGET ALLOCATIONS ON FILE.
TRANSFERS DURING THE ACCUMULATION PHASE
Subject to our rules, restrictions and policies described below, during the
Accumulation Phase you may transfer funds between the Variable Portfolios
and/or any available Fixed Accounts, subject to the Company's and the
Underlying Funds' short term trading policies, by telephone (800) 445-7862,
through the Company's website (www.aig.com/annuities), by U.S. Mail addressed
to our Annuity Service Center, P.O. Box 15570, Amarillo, Texas 79105-5570 or by
facsimile. All transfer instructions submitted via facsimile must be sent to
(818) 615-1543; otherwise they will not be considered received by us. We may
accept transfers by telephone or the Internet unless you tell us not to on your
contract application. If your contract was issued in the state of New York, we
may accept transfers by telephone if you complete and send the Telephone
Transfer Agreement form to our Annuity Service Center. When receiving
instructions over the telephone or the Internet, we have procedures to provide
reasonable assurance that the transactions executed are genuine. Thus, we are
not responsible for any claim, loss or expense from any error resulting from
instructions received over the telephone or the Internet. If we fail to follow
our procedures, we may be liable for any losses due to unauthorized or
fraudulent instructions.
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. We reserve the right to
13
modify, suspend or terminate telephone, fax and/or internet transfer privileges
at any time. 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.
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
business day.
Funds already in your contract cannot be transferred into the DCA Fixed
Accounts.
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.
SHORT-TERM TRADING POLICIES
We do not want to issue this variable annuity contract to contract owners
engaged in 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. However, we cannot always anticipate if
a potential contract owner intends to engage in Short-Term Trading. Short-Term
Trading may create risks that may result in adverse effects on 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.
All transfer requests in excess of 15 transfers within a rolling 12-month
look-back period ("12-Month Rolling Period") must be submitted by United States
Postal Service first-class mail ("U.S. Mail"). Once a contract triggers this
"Standard U.S. Mail Policy," all transfer requests must be submitted by U.S.
Mail for 12 months from the date of the triggering transfer.
For example, if you made a transfer on August 16, 2012 and within the previous
twelve months (from August 17, 2011 forward) you made 15 transfers including
the August 16th transfer, then all transfers made for twelve months after
August 16, 2012 must be submitted by U.S. Mail (from August 17, 2012 through
August 16, 2013).
We will not accept transfer requests sent by any other medium except U.S. Mail
during this 12-month period. 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. 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 as described below.
We believe that the Standard U.S. Mail Policy is a sufficient deterrent to
Short-Term Trading. However, 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 limitations of 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
("Accelerated U.S. Mail Policy"). 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: (1) impose further limits on the
size, manner, number and/or frequency of transfers you can make; (2) impose
minimum holding periods; (3) reject any Purchase Payment or transfer request;
(4) terminate your transfer privileges; and/or (5) 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.
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:
(1) the number of transfers made in a defined period;
(2) the dollar amount of the transfer;
(3) 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;
(4) the investment objectives and/or asset classes of the particular
Variable Portfolio involved in your transfers;
14
(5) whether the transfer appears to be part of a pattern of transfers
to take advantage of short-term market fluctuations or market
inefficiencies;
(6) the history of transfer activity in the contract or in other
contracts we may offer; and/or
(7) other activity, as determined by us, that creates an appearance,
real or perceived, of Short-Term Trading or the possibility of
Short-Term Trading.
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.
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.
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 THIS
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
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 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. The prospectuses for the Underlying Funds describe these procedures,
which may be different among Underlying Funds and may be more or less
restrictive than our policies and procedures.
Under rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, 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. In
addition, 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.
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.
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.
AUTOMATIC ASSET REBALANCING PROGRAM
Market fluctuations may cause the percentage of your investment in the Variable
Portfolios to differ from your original allocations. Under the Automatic Asset
Rebalancing Program, you may elect to have your investments in the
15
Variable Portfolios and/or Fixed Accounts, if applicable, periodically
rebalanced to return your allocations to the percentages given at your last
instructions for no additional charge. 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 applicable, 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.
Automatic Asset Rebalancing typically involves shifting a portion of your money
out of investment options which had higher returns into investment options
which had lower returns. 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.
WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO MODIFY, SUSPEND OR TERMINATE THE AUTOMATIC ASSET
REBALANCING PROGRAM AT ANY TIME AND WE WILL NOTIFY YOU IF WE EXERCISE 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.
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 three ways:
o by receiving annuity income payments during the Income Phase, PLEASE
SEE ANNUITY INCOME OPTIONS BELOW; OR
o by taking a loan in accordance with the provisions of your Plan
and/or this Contract (TSA only); or
o subject to the restrictions described below, by making a partial or
total withdrawal.
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 business day.
Generally, we deduct a withdrawal charge applicable to any partial or total
withdrawal before the end of the withdrawal charge period. If you made a total
withdrawal, we also deduct premium taxes, if applicable.
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 option. Such deferrals are limited to no longer than six months.
We may establish certain minimum withdrawal amounts or require that a minimum
amount remain in a Variable Portfolio upon withdrawal. Please contact the
Annuity Service Center for additional information. You must send a written
withdrawal request. Unless you provide us with different instructions, partial
withdrawals will be made pro rata from each Variable Portfolio and each Fixed
Account option in which you are invested.
WITHDRAWAL RESTRICTIONS
Withdrawals under Section 403(b) Contracts are subject to the limitations under
Section 403(b)(11) of the IRC and any applicable Plan document. Section 403(b)
provides that salary reduction contributions deposited and earnings credited on
any salary reduction contributions after December 31, 1988 may only be
withdrawn upon (1) death; (2) disability; (3) reaching age 59 1/2; (4)
separation from service; or (5) occurrence of a hardship. Amounts accumulated
in one Section 403(b)(1) Contract may be transferred to another Section
403(b)(1) Contract or Section 403(b)(7) custodial account without a penalty
under the IRC. Amounts accumulated in a Section 403(b)(7) custodial account and
deposited in a Contract will be subject to the same withdrawal restrictions as
are applicable to post-1988 salary reduction contributions. PLEASE SEE TAXES
BELOW.
If your Plan is subject to Title I of ERISA, your withdrawal request must be
authorized by the Contractholder on your behalf. All withdrawal requests will
require the Contractholder's written authorization and written documentation
specifying the portion of your Contract value which is available for
distribution to you.
If your Plan is not subject to Title I of ERISA and you own a TSA, you must
certify to AGL that, one of the events listed in the IRC has occurred (and
provide supporting
16
information, if requested) and that AGL may rely on such representation in
granting such a withdrawal request. The above does not apply to transfers to
other Qualified investment alternatives. PLEASE SEE TAXES BELOW. You should
consult your tax adviser as well as review the provisions of any applicable
Plan before requesting a withdrawal.
In addition to the restrictions noted above, a Plan may contain additional
withdrawal or transfer restrictions.
Early withdrawals from a TSA or IRA, as defined under Section 72(q) and 72(t)
of the IRC, may be subject to 10% penalty tax.
TEXAS OPTIONAL RETIREMENT PROGRAM
If you participate in the Texas Optional Retirement Program ("ORP") you must
obtain a certificate of termination from your employer before you can redeem
your Contract. We impose this requirement on you because the Texas Attorney
General ruled that participants in ORP may redeem their Contract only upon
termination of their employment by Texas public institutions of higher
education, or upon retirement death or total disability.
SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL PROGRAM
If you elect the Systematic Withdrawal program and the terms of any applicable
Plan and/or the IRC allow, then we use money in your Contract to pay your
monthly, quarterly, semiannual or annual payments during the Accumulation
Phase. Electronic transfer of these funds to your bank account is also
available. However, any such payments you elect to receive are subject to all
applicable withdrawal charges, market value adjustments, income taxes, tax
penalties and other withdrawal restrictions affecting your Contract. The
minimum amount of each withdrawal is $50. There must be at least $500 remaining
in your Contract at all times. Withdrawals may be taxable and a 10% IRS tax
penalty may apply if you are under age 59 1/2 at the time of withdrawal. There
is no additional charge for participating in this program.
The program is not available to everyone. Please contact our Annuity Service
Center, which can provide the necessary enrollment forms.
WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO MODIFY, SUSPEND OR TERMINATE THE SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL
PROGRAM AT ANY TIME.
WITHDRAWAL CHARGES, INCOME TAXES, TAX PENALTIES AND CERTAIN WITHDRAWAL
RESTRICTIONS MAY APPLY TO ANY WITHDRAWAL YOU MAKE, INCLUDING SYSTEMATIC
WITHDRAWALS.
LOANS
If you own a TSA and, if applicable, your Plan permits, you may take a loan
from your Contract during the Accumulation Period. You may apply for a loan
under the Contract by completing a loan application available from AGL. Loans
are secured by a portion of your Contract Value. More information about loans,
including interest rates, restrictions, terms of repayment and applicable fees
and charges is available in the Certificate, the Endorsement and the Loan
Agreement as well as from AGL's Annuity Service Center.
FREE WITHDRAWAL AMOUNT
If your Contract is subject to withdrawal charge schedule A, you may be able to
withdraw 15% of your Purchase Payments each Contract year, free of a
contractual withdrawal charge. The amount available for free withdrawal each
year is reduced by the amount of any Purchase Payment previously withdrawn in
that Contract year. However, upon a full surrender of your Contract, any
previous free withdrawals would be subject to a surrender charge, if any is
applicable at the time of surrender (except in the State of Washington).
MINIMUM CONTRACT VALUE
Where permitted by state law, we may terminate your contract if your contract
value is less than $2,500 as a result of withdrawals and/or fees and charges.
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.
QUALIFIED CONTRACT OWNERS
Certain Qualified plans restrict and/or prohibit your ability to withdraw money
from your contract. PLEASE SEE TAXES
BELOW for a more detailed explanation.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DEATH BENEFIT
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you should die during the Accumulation Phase of your Contract, we pay a
death benefit to your Beneficiary. The death benefit (unless limited by your
Plan) equals the greater of:
1. Total Purchase Payments reduced by the amount of any loan(s)
outstanding plus accrued interest and reduced for withdrawals (and
any fees and charges applicable to those withdrawals) in the same
proportion that each withdrawal reduced Contract Value on the date of
the withdrawal, or;
2. Contract value.
We do not pay the death benefit if you die after you switch to the Income
Phase. However, if you die during the Income Phase your Beneficiary receives
any remaining guaranteed annuity income payments (or a portion thereof) in
accordance with the annuity income option you selected. PLEASE SEE ANNUITY
INCOME OPTIONS BELOW.
You name your Beneficiary. You may change the Beneficiary at any time, unless
you previously made an irrevocable Beneficiary designation. Plans subject to
Title 1 of ERISA may impose additional restrictions on Beneficiary designation
which are discussed in the Beneficiary Designation Form.
17
We calculate and pay the death benefit when we receive all required paperwork
and satisfactory proof of death in Good Order. All death benefit calculations
discussed below are made as of the day a death benefit request is received by
us in Good Order at the Annuity Service Center, (including satisfactory proof
of death) if the request is received before Market Close. If the death benefit
request is received after Market Close, the death benefit calculations will be
as of the next business day. If the death benefit request is not received by us
in Good Order or if notification of the death is made by the Beneficiary prior
to submitting all required paperwork and satisfactory proof of death, the
Beneficiary may have the option of transferring the entire contract value to
the Cash Management Variable Portfolio or available Fixed Account by contacting
the Annuity Service Center. We consider due proof of death in Good Order to be
satisfactory written proof of death which may include: (1) a certified copy of
the death certificate; (2) a certified copy of a decree of a court of competent
jurisdiction as to the finding of death; or (3) a written statement by a
medical doctor who attended the deceased at the time of death.
For contracts in which the aggregate of all Purchase Payments in contracts
issued by the Company or its affiliate, The United States Life Insurance
Company in the City of New York, to the same Owner/Annuitant are in excess of
$1,500,000, 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.
The death benefit must be paid by December 31st of the calendar year containing
the fifth anniversary 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
lifetime or for a period not extending beyond the Beneficiary's life
expectancy. Payments must begin on or before December 31st of the calendar year
immediately following the year of your death.
If the Beneficiary is the Participant's surviving spouse, the surviving spouse
may elect to receive the entire death benefit in equal or substantially equal
payments over their life or over a period not longer than their life
expectancy, commencing at any date prior to the later of:
(i) December 31st of the calendar year immediately following the
calendar year in which the Participant died, and
(ii) December 31st of the calendar year in which the Participant
would have attained age 70 1/2.
Certain death benefits are either no longer offered or have changed since first
being offered. IF YOUR CONTRACT WAS ISSUED PRIOR TO NOVEMBER 24, 2003, PLEASE
SEE APPENDIX E FOR DETAILS REGARDING THOSE FEATURES.
Payments must begin under the selected annuity income option no later than the
first anniversary of death for Non-Qualified contracts or December 31st of the
year following the year of death for IRAs. Beneficiaries who do not begin
taking payments within these specified time
periods will not be eligible to elect an annuity income option.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EXPENSES
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are fees and expenses associated with your contract which reduce your
investment return. We will not increase certain contract fees, such as
mortality and expense charges or withdrawal charges 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 THE STATE CONTRACT AVAILABILITY AND/OR VARIABILITY APPENDIX 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 adviser and/or subadvisers (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.
SEPARATE ACCOUNT EXPENSES
The annualized Separate Account expense is 1.25% of the average daily ending
net asset value allocated to the Variable Portfolios. This 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.
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.
18
WITHDRAWAL CHARGES
We apply a withdrawal charge against each Purchase Payment you contribute to
the Contract if you seek withdrawal of that payment prior to the end of a
specified period.
If applicable, the withdrawal charge equals a percentage of the Purchase
Payment you take out of the Contract. The withdrawal charge percentage may
decline over time for each Purchase Payment in the Contract. The applicable
withdrawal charge schedule will appear on your Contract Data Page.

</TABLE>
You may obtain information as to the withdrawal charge applicable to your
Contract by contacting your Plan Sponsor, Employer, financial representative or
by consulting your Contract Data page.
When calculating the withdrawal charge, we treat withdrawals as coming first
from the Purchase Payments that have been in your Contract the longest.
However, for tax purposes, your withdrawals are considered earnings first, then
Purchase Payments.
Whenever possible, we deduct the withdrawal charge from the money remaining in
your Contract. If you withdraw all of your Contract value, we deduct any
applicable withdrawal charge from the amount withdrawn.
We calculate charges due on a total withdrawal as of the day after we receive
your request and your Contract. We return your Contract value less any
applicable fees and charges. You will not receive the benefit of any available
and prior free withdrawal amounts (applicable only to those subject to
withdrawal charge Schedule A) if you make a complete withdrawal of your
Contract.
Both the insurance charges and the withdrawal charges may vary by Plan and/or
group Contract based on certain objective factors. PLEASE SEE REDUCTION OR
ELIMINATION OF FEES, EXPENSES AND ADDITIONAL AMOUNTS CREDITED BELOW.
EXCEPTIONS TO WITHDRAWAL CHARGE
A withdrawal charge is not applicable to withdrawals requested in the following
situations:
o Annuitization (except if under the Income Protector Program), PLEASE
SEE ANNUITY INCOME OPTIONS BELOW;
o Death Benefits, PLEASE SEE DEATH BENEFIT ABOVE;
o After your 10th Contract anniversary;
o If you are subject to withdrawal charge Schedule A, 15% of your
Purchase Payments each Contract year;
o Disability occurring after Contract issue;
o Hardship occurring after Contract issue;
o After separation from service occurring after Contract issue;
o loans in accordance with the requirements of ERISA and/or the IRC,
the Plan and the Contract; or
o to avoid Federal Income Tax penalties or satisfy income tax rules
applicable to the Contract from which the withdrawal is made.
Additionally, upon conversion to an IRA from an existing Polaris Plus 403(b)
Contract, IRA Contractholders will receive credit for time served in their
prior Polaris Plus TSA variable annuity investment. This means we will carry
over the 403(b) Purchase Payment history with respect to any potential
withdrawal charges under the IRA.
Withdrawals made prior to age 59 1/2 may result in tax penalties. Please see
TAXES below.
INCOME PROTECTOR PROGRAM FEE
We charge a fee for the Income Protector program, as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
ANNUAL FEE AS A % OF YOUR
OPTION INCOME BENEFIT BASE
<S> <C>
Income Protector Plus 0.15%
Income Protector Max 0.30%
</TABLE>
Since the Income Benefit Base is only a calculation and does not provide a
Contract value, we deduct the fee from your actual Contract value beginning on
the Contract anniversary on which your enrollment in the program becomes
effective. If you elect to participate in the Income Protector program at
Contract issue, we begin deducting the annual fee for the Plus or Max option
when your participation becomes effective. If you elect to participate in the
Income Protector program after Contract issue, we begin deducting the annual
fee on the Contract anniversary following election of the Income Protector
program. We will deduct this charge from your Contract value on every Contract
anniversary up to and including your Income Benefit Date. PLEASE SEE OPTIONAL
INCOME PROTECTOR PROGRAM BELOW.
19
UNDERLYING FUND EXPENSES
INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEES
Each Variable Portfolio purchases shares of a corresponding Underlying Fund.
The Accumulation Unit value for each Variable Portfolio 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.
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.
TRANSFER FEE
We currently permit an unlimited number of transfers between investment
options, every year. We reserve the right to limit the number of transfers to
15 per year, in the future, for both new and existing Contractholders. If we do
impose such a limit you will be charged $25 for each transfer over that limit.
PLEASE SEE INVESTMENT OPTIONS ABOVE.
PREMIUM TAX
Certain states charge the Company a tax on Purchase Payments up to a maximum of
3.5%. These states permit us to either deduct the premium tax when you make a
Purchase Payment or when you fully surrender your contract or begin the Income
Phase. PLEASE SEE THE STATE CONTRACT AVAILABILITY AND/OR VARIABILITY APPENDIX
for a listing of the states that charge premium taxes, the percentage of the
tax and distinctions in impact on Qualified and Non-Qualified contracts.
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 reserve the right to reduce or waive certain
fees and expenses when this type of sale occurs. In addition, we may also
credit additional amounts to contracts sold to such groups. 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.
WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO MODIFY, SUSPEND OR TERMINATE ANY SUCH DETERMINATION OR
THE TREATMENT APPLIED TO A
PARTICULAR GROUP AT ANY TIME.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
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 AIG 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 5.25% of each 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
Purchase Payment, with a trail commission of up to a maximum 1.50% 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
20
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 $5,000
under these revenue sharing arrangements in 2014 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 advisers, sub-advisers 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 two kinds of payments described below.
ADMINISTRATIVE, MARKETING AND SUPPORT SERVICE FEES. We receive compensation of
up to 0.525% annually based on assets under management from certain Trusts'
investment advisers, subadvisers and/or distributors (or affiliates thereof).
These payments may be derived, in whole or in part, from the profits the
investment adviser 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 advisers or their
affiliates and vary by Trust. Some investment advisers, subadvisers and/or
distributors (or affiliates thereof) pay us more than others. The amount may be
significant. Such amounts received from SAAMCo, a wholly-owned subsidiary of
AGL, are not expected to exceed 0.50% annually based on assets under
management.
OTHER PAYMENTS. Certain investment advisers, subadvisers 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 advisers,
subadvisers 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 adviser's,
subadviser'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 advisers, subadvisers 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
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ANNUITY DATE
During the Income Phase, we use the money accumulated in your Contract to make
regular annuity income payments to you. You may switch to the Income Phase any
time. You must provide us with a written request of the date you want annuity
income payments to begin and send your request to the Annuity Service Center.
Your annuity date is the first day of the month you select annuity income
payments to begin ("Annuity Date"). You may change your Annuity Date by sending
a written request to the Annuity Service Center, so long as you do so at least
seven days before the annuity income payments are scheduled to begin. Once you
begin receiving annuity income payments, you cannot change your annuity income
option. Except as indicated under Option 5, once you begin receiving annuity
income payments, you cannot otherwise access your money through withdrawal or
surrender.
Generally, for Qualified Contracts, the Annuity Date may be any day after you
reach age 59 1/2 but not later than your 75th birthday. However, you may be
required to begin taking required minimum distributions by April 1 following
the later of, the year in which you turn age 70 1/2 or the calendar year in
which you retire. PLEASE SEE TAXES BELOW.
As to TSAs and IRAs, an annuity income payment is generally considered a
withdrawal. Therefore, IRC withdrawal restrictions may limit the time at which
annuity income payments may begin. PLEASE SEE ACCESS TO YOUR MONEY ABOVE.
Annuity income payments must begin on or before your Latest Annuity Date. If
you do not choose an Annuity Date, your annuity income payments will begin on
the Latest Annuity Date. If the Annuity Date is past your 85th birthday, your
Contract could lose its status as an annuity under Federal tax laws. This may
cause you to incur adverse tax consequences.
ANNUITY INCOME OPTIONS
Currently, this Contract offers five standard annuity income options. Other
payout options may be available. Contact the Annuity Service Center for more
information. If you elect to receive annuity income payments but do not select
an annuity income option, your annuity income payments will be made in
accordance with Option 4 for a period of 10 years. For annuity income payments
selected for joint lives, we pay according to Option 3 for a period of 10
years.
We base our calculation of annuity income payments on the life of the Annuitant
and the annuity rates set forth in your Contract. Under a TSA you, as the
Participant, are always the Annuitant. Under an IRA you, as the contract owner,
must always be the Annuitant. UNDER CERTAIN QUALIFIED CONTRACTS THE ANNUITY
INCOME OPTION YOU SELECT MAY NOT EXCEED YOUR LIFE EXPECTANCY.
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.
ANNUITY INCOME OPTION 3 - JOINT AND SURVIVOR LIFE INCOME ANNUITY WITH 10 YEARS
GUARANTEED
This option is similar to Option 2 above, with an additional guarantee of
payments for at least 10 years. 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.
ANNUITY INCOME OPTION 4 - LIFE INCOME ANNUITY WITH 10, 15 OR 20 YEARS
GUARANTEED
This option is similar to Option 1 above with an additional guarantee of
payments for at least 10, 15 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.
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.
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. The amount
available upon such redemption would be the discounted present value of any
remaining guaranteed variable annuity income payments.
The value of an Annuity Unit, regardless of the option chosen, takes into
account separate account charges 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.
22
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. 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:
o for life income options, your age when annuity income payments
begin; and
o the contract value attributable to the Variable Portfolios on the
Annuity Date; and
o the 3.5% assumed investment rate used in the annuity table for the
contract; and
o 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, is based on the
guaranteed minimum interest rate specified in your contract and 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.
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.
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.
OPTIONAL INCOME PROTECTOR PROGRAM
If elected, this program provides a future "safety net" in the event that, when
you choose to begin receiving annuity income payments, your contract has not
performed within a historically anticipated range. The Income Protector program
offers you the ability to receive a guaranteed fixed minimum retirement annuity
income upon annuitization. With the Income Protector program you know the level
of minimum annuity income that will be available to you if, when you chose to
begin the income phase of your Contract, down markets have negatively impacted
your contract value. We reserve the right to modify, suspend or terminate the
Income Protector program at any time.
The Income Protector program provides two levels of minimum retirement annuity
income. The two available options are the Income Protector Plus and Income
Protector Max. If you enroll in the Income Protector program, we charge a fee
based on the level of protection you select. The amount of the fee and how to
enroll are described below. In order to utilize the benefit of the program you
must follow the provisions discussed below.
Certain IRC restrictions on annuity income options available to Qualified
retirement investors may have an impact on your ability to benefit from this
feature. Qualified investors should read NOTE TO QUALIFIED CONTRACTHOLDERS
below.
HOW WE DETERMINE THE AMOUNT OF YOUR MINIMUM GUARANTEED ANNUITY INCOME
We base the amount of minimum annuity income available to you if you take
annuity income payments using the Income Protector program upon a calculation
we call the Income Benefit Base. At the time your enrollment in the Income
Protector program becomes effective, your Income Benefit Base is equal to your
contract value. Your participation becomes effective on either the date of
issue of
23
the Contract (if elected at the time of application) or on the contract
anniversary following your enrollment in the program.
The Income Benefit Base is only a calculation. It does not represent a contract
value, nor does it guarantee performance of the Variable Portfolios in which
you invest.
Your Income Benefit Base increases if you make subsequent Purchase Payments and
decreases if you withdraw money from your Contract. The exact Income Benefit
Base calculation is equal to (a) plus (b) minus (c) where:
(a) is,
o for the first year of calculation, your contract value on the
date your participation in the program became effective, or;
o for each subsequent year of calculation, the Income Benefit Base
on the prior contract anniversary, and;
(b) is the sum of all Purchase Payments made into the Contract
since the last contract anniversary, and;
(c) is all withdrawals and applicable fees and charges since the
last contract anniversary in an amount proportionate to the
amount by which such withdrawals decreased your contract value.
The Income Benefit Base accumulates at one of the following annual growth rates
from the date your enrollment becomes effective through your election to begin
receiving annuity income under the program:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
OPTIONS GROWTH RATE*
<S> <C>
The Income Protector Plus 3.25%
The Income Protector Max 5.25%
</TABLE>
* If you elect the Plus or Max feature on a subsequent anniversary,
the growth rates may be different.
The growth rates for the Plus or Max features cease on the contract anniversary
following the Annuitant's 90th birthday.
ENROLLING IN THE INCOME PROTECTOR PROGRAM
If you decide that you want the protection offered by the Income Protector
program, you must elect the option of your choice by completing the Income
Protector Election Form available through our Annuity Service Center. You may
only elect one of the options, you can not change your election once made, and
you can not terminate your enrollment. In order to obtain the benefit of the
Income Protector program you may not begin the Income Phase for at least seven
years following your enrollment.
STEP-UP OF YOUR INCOME BENEFIT BASE
You may also have the opportunity to "Step-Up" your Income Benefit Base. The
Step-Up feature allows you to increase your Income Benefit Base to the amount
of your contract value on your contract anniversary. You can only elect to
Step-Up within the 30 days before the next Contract anniversary. The seven year
waiting period required prior to electing annuity income payments through the
Income Protector program is restarted if you step-up your Income Benefit Base.
You must complete the appropriate portion of the Income Protector Election Form
to effect a Step-Up.
ELECTING TO RECEIVE ANNUITY INCOME PAYMENTS
You may elect to begin the Income Phase of your contract using the Income
Protector Program only within the 30 days after the seventh or later contract
anniversary following the later of,
o the effective date of your enrollment in the Income Protector
program, or
o the contract anniversary of your most recent Step-Up.
The contract anniversary prior to your election to begin receiving annuity
income payments is your Income Benefit Date. This is the date as of which we
calculate your Income Benefit Base to use in determining your guaranteed
minimum fixed retirement annuity income. To arrive at the minimum guaranteed
fixed retirement annuity income available to you, we apply the annuity rates
stated in your Income Protector Endorsement for the annuity income option you
select to your final Income Benefit Base.
You then choose if you would like to receive that annuity income annually,
quarterly or monthly for the time guaranteed under your selected annuity income
option. Your final Income Benefit Base is equal to (a) minus (b) where:
(a) is your Income Benefit Base as your Income Benefit Date, and;
(b) is any partial withdrawals of contract value and any charges
applicable to those withdrawals and any withdrawal charges
otherwise applicable, calculated as if you fully surrender your
contract at the Income Benefit Date, and any applicable premium
taxes.
The annuity income options available when using the Income Protector program to
receive your retirement annuity income are:
o Life Annuity with 10 Year Period Certain; or
o Joint and 100% Survivor Annuity with 20 Year Period Certain
At the time you elect to begin the Income Phase, we will calculate your annual
annuity income using both your final Income Benefit Base and your contract
value. We will use the same annuity income option for each calculation,
however, the annuity factors used to calculate your annuity income under the
Income Protector program will be different. You will receive whichever provides
a greater stream of annuity income. If you take annuity income payments using
the Income Protector program, your annuity income payments will be fixed in
amount. You are not
24
required to use the Income Protector program to receive your annuity income
payments. The general provisions of your Contract provide other annuity income
options. However, we will not refund fees paid for the Income Protector program
if you begin taking annuity income payments under the general provisions of
your Contract. YOU MAY NEVER NEED TO RELY UPON THE INCOME PROTECTOR PROGRAM, IF
YOUR CONTRACT PERFORMS WITHIN A HISTORICALLY ANTICIPATED RANGE. HOWEVER, PAST
PERFORMANCE IS NO GUARANTEE OF FUTURE RESULTS.
NOTE TO QUALIFIED CONTRACTHOLDERS
Qualified Contracts generally require that you select an annuity income option
which does not exceed your life expectancy. That restriction may limit the
benefit of the Income Protector program. To utilize the Income Protector
program, you must take annuity income payments under one of two annuity income
options. If those annuity income options exceed your life expectancy you may be
prohibited from receiving your guaranteed fixed income under the Income
Protector program. If you own a Qualified Contract to which this restriction
applies and you elect the Income Protector program, you may pay for this
minimum guarantee and not be able to realize the benefit. You should consult
your tax advisor for information concerning your particular circumstances.
FEES ASSOCIATED WITH THE INCOME PROTECTOR PROGRAM
We charge a fee for the Income Protector program, as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
ANNUAL FEE AS A % OF
OPTION YOUR INCOME BENEFIT BASE
<S> <C>
Income Protector Plus 0.15%
Income Protector Max 0.30%
</TABLE>
Since the Income Benefit Base is only a calculation and does not provide a
contract value, we deduct the fee from your actual contract value beginning on
the contract anniversary on which your enrollment in the program becomes
effective.
If you elect to participate in the Income Protector program at Contract issue,
we begin deducting the annual fee for the Plus or Max option when your
participation becomes effective. If you elect to participate in the Income
Protector program at some time after Contract issue, we begin deducting the
annual fee on the contract anniversary of or following election. We will deduct
this charge from your contract value on every contract anniversary up to and
including your Income Benefit Date.
After a Step-Up, the fee for the Income Protector Max or Plus will be based on
your Stepped-Up Income Benefit Base, and will be deducted from your contract
value beginning on the effective date of the step-up.
The Income Protector program may not be available in your state. Please consult
your financial representative for information regarding availability. PLEASE
SEE APPENDIX B
FOR AN EXAMPLE OF THE OPERATION OF THE INCOME PROTECTOR
PROGRAM.

DISCUSSIONS REGARDING THE TAX TREATMENT OF ANY ANNUITY CONTRACT OR RETIREMENT
PLANS AND PROGRAMS ARE INTENDED FOR GENERAL PURPOSES ONLY AND ARE NOT INTENDED
AS TAX ADVICE, EITHER GENERAL OR INDIVIDUALIZED, NOR SHOULD THEY BE INTERPRETED
TO PROVIDE ANY PREDICTIONS OR GUARANTEES OF A PARTICULAR TAX TREATMENT. SUCH
DISCUSSIONS GENERALLY ARE BASED UPON THE COMPANY'S UNDERSTANDING OF CURRENT TAX
RULES AND INTERPRETATIONS, AND MAY INCLUDE AREAS OF THOSE RULES THAT ARE MORE
OR LESS CLEAR OR CERTAIN. 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 RETROACTIVE EFFECT AS WELL. YOU
SHOULD SEEK COMPETENT TAX OR LEGAL ADVICE, AS YOU DEEM NECESSARY OR
APPROPRIATE, REGARDING YOUR OWN CIRCUMSTANCES.
ANNUITY CONTRACTS IN GENERAL
The IRC provides for special rules regarding the tax treatment of annuity
contracts. Generally, taxes on the earnings in your annuity contract are
deferred until you take the money out. Qualified retirement investment
arrangements that satisfy specific IRC requirements automatically provide tax
deferral regardless of whether the underlying contract is an annuity, a trust,
or a custodial account. Different rules and tax treatment apply depending on
how you take the money out and whether your contract is Qualified or
Non-Qualified.
If you do not purchase your contract under an employer-sponsored retirement
plan, or an Individual Retirement Account or Annuity ("IRA"), your contract is
referred to as a Non-Qualified contract. In general, your cost basis in a
Non-Qualified contract is equal to the Purchase Payments you put into the
contract. You have already been taxed on the cost basis in your Non-Qualified
contract.
If you purchase your contract under a qualified employer-sponsored retirement
plan or an IRA, your contract is referred to as a Qualified contract.
Examples of qualified plans or arrangements are: traditional (pre-tax) IRAs,
Tax-Sheltered Annuities (also referred to as 403(b) annuities or 403(b)
contracts), plans of self-employed individuals (often referred to as H.R. 10
Plans or Keogh Plans), pension and profit sharing plans (including 401(k)
plans), and governmental 457(b) deferred compensation plans. Typically, for
employer
25
plans and tax deductible IRA contributions, you have not paid any tax on the
Purchase Payments used to buy your contract and therefore, you have no cost
basis in your contract.
AGGREGATION OF CONTRACTS
Federal tax rules generally require that all Non-Qualified contracts issued by
the same company to the same policyholder during the same calendar year will be
treated as one annuity contract for purposes of determining the taxable amount
upon distribution.
TAX TREATMENT OF DISTRIBUTIONS - NON-QUALIFIED CONTRACTS
If you make partial or total withdrawals from a Non-Qualified contract, the IRC
generally treats such withdrawals as coming first from taxable earnings and
then coming from your Purchase Payments. Purchase Payments made prior to August
14, 1982, however, are an important exception to this general rule, and for tax
purposes generally are treated as being distributed first, before either the
earnings on those contributions, or other Purchase Payments and earnings in the
contract. If you annuitize your contract, a portion of each annuity income
payment will be considered, for tax purposes, to be a return of a portion of
your Purchase Payment, generally until you have received all of your Purchase
Payment. The portion of each annuity income payment that is considered a return
of your Purchase Payment will not be taxed. Additionally, the taxable portion
of any withdrawals, whether annuitized or other withdrawals, generally is
subject to applicable state and/or local income taxes, and may be subject to an
additional 10% penalty tax unless withdrawn in conjunction with the following
circumstances:
o after attaining age 59 1/2;
o when paid to your Beneficiary after you die;
o after you become disabled (as defined in the IRC);
o 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 for a period of 5 years or
attainment of age 59 1/2, whichever is later;
o under an immediate annuity contract;
o when attributable to Purchase Payments made prior to August 14,
1982.
On March 30, 2010, the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act
("Reconciliation Act") was signed into law. Among other provisions, the
Reconciliation Act imposes a new tax on net investment income, which went into
effect in 2013, at the rate of 3.8% of applicable thresholds for Modified
Adjusted Gross Income ("MAGI") ($250,000 for joint filers; $125,000 for married
individuals filing separately; and, $200,000 for individual filers). An
individual with MAGI in excess of the threshold will be required to pay this
new tax on net investment income in excess of the applicable MAGI threshold.
For this purpose, net investment income generally will include taxable
withdrawals from a Non-Qualified contract, as well as other taxable amounts
including amounts taxed annually to an owner that is not a natural person (see
Contracts Owned by a Trust or Corporation). This new tax generally does not
apply to Qualified contracts, however taxable distributions from such contracts
may be taken into account in determining the applicability of the MAGI
thresholds.
A transfer of contract value to another annuity contract generally will be tax
reported as a distribution unless we have sufficient information to confirm
that the transfer qualifies as an exchange under IRC Section 1035 (a "1035
exchange").
TAX TREATMENT OF DISTRIBUTIONS - QUALIFIED CONTRACTS
Generally, you have not paid any taxes on the Purchase Payments used to buy a
Qualified contract. As a result, most amounts withdrawn from the contract or
received as annuity income payments will be taxable income. Exceptions to this
general rule include withdrawals attributable to after-tax amounts permitted
under the employer's plan.
The taxable portion of any withdrawal or income payment from a Qualified
contract will be subject to an additional 10% penalty tax, under the IRC,
except in the following circumstances:
o after attainment of age 59 1/2;
o when paid to your Beneficiary after you die;
o after you become disabled (as defined in the IRC);
o 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 for a period of 5 years or attainment of
age 59 1/2, whichever is later;
o payments to employees after separation from service after attainment
of age 55 (does not apply to IRAs);
o dividends paid with respect to stock of a corporation described in
IRC Section 404(k);
o for payment of medical expenses to the extent such withdrawals do
not exceed limitations set by the IRC for deductible amounts paid
during the taxable year for medical care;
o transfers to alternate payees pursuant to a qualified domestic
relations order (does not apply to IRAs);
o for payment of health insurance if you are unemployed and meet
certain requirements;
o distributions from IRAs for qualifying higher
26
education expenses or first home purchases, with certain
limitations;
o amounts distributed from a Code Section 457(b) plan other than to
the extent such amounts in a governmental Code Section 457(b) plan
represent rollovers from an IRA or employer-sponsored plan to which
the 10% penalty would otherwise apply and which are treated as
distributed from a Qualified plan for purposes of the premature
distribution penalty;
o payments to certain individuals called up for active duty after
September 11, 2001; and
o payments up to $3,000 per year for health, life and accident
insurance by certain retired public safety officers, which are
federal income tax-free.
The IRC limits the withdrawal of an employee's elective deferral Purchase
Payments from a Tax-Sheltered Annuity (TSA) contract under IRC 403(b).
Generally, withdrawals can only be made when an Owner: (1) reaches age 59 1/2;
(2) severs employment with the employer; (3) dies; (4) becomes disabled (as
defined in the IRC); or (5) experiences a financial hardship (as defined in the
IRC). In the case of hardship, the owner can only withdraw Purchase Payments.
Additional plan limitations may also apply. Amounts held in a TSA contract as
of December 31, 1988 are not subject to these restrictions except as otherwise
imposed by the plan.
Qualifying transfers (including intra-plan exchanges) of amounts from one TSA
contract or account to another TSA contract or account, and qualifying
transfers to a state defined benefit plan to purchase service credits, where
permitted under the employer's plan, generally are not considered
distributions, and thus are not subject to these withdrawal limitations. If
amounts are transferred to a contract with less restrictive IRC withdrawal
limitations than the account from which it is transferred, the more restrictive
withdrawal limitations will continue to apply.
Transfers among 403(b) annuities and/or 403(b)(7) custodial accounts generally
are subject to rules set out in the plan, the IRC, treasury regulations, IRS
pronouncements, and other applicable legal authorities.
On July 26, 2007, the Department of the Treasury published final 403(b)
regulations that were largely effective on January 1, 2009. These comprehensive
regulations include several new rules and requirements, such as a requirement
that employers maintain their 403(b) plans pursuant to a written plan.
Subsequent IRS guidance and/or the terms of the written plan may impose new
restrictions on both new and existing contracts, including restrictions on the
availability of loans, distributions, transfers and exchanges, regardless of
when a contract was purchased. Effective January 1, 2009, the Company no longer
accepts new Purchase Payments (including contributions, transfers and
exchanges) into new or existing 403(b) contracts. You may wish to discuss the
new regulations and/or the general information above with your tax adviser.
Withdrawals from other Qualified contracts are often limited by the IRC and by
the employer's plan.
If you are purchasing the contract as an investment vehicle for a trust under a
Qualified Plan, you should consider that the contract does not provide any
additional tax-deferral benefits beyond the treatment provided by the trust
itself. In addition, if the contract itself is a qualifying arrangement (as
with a 403(b) annuity or IRA), the contract generally does not provide tax
deferral benefits 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, and 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.
REQUIRED MINIMUM DISTRIBUTIONS
Generally, the IRC requires that you begin taking annual distributions from
Qualified annuity contracts by April 1 of the calendar year following the later
of (1) the calendar year in which you attain age 70 1/2 or (2) the calendar
year in which you sever employment from the employer sponsoring the plan. If
you own a traditional IRA, you must begin receiving minimum distributions by
April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which you reach age
70 1/2. If you choose to delay your first distribution until the year after the
year in which you reach 70 1/2 or sever employment, as applicable, then you
will be required to withdraw your second required minimum distribution on or
before December 31 in that same year. For each year thereafter, you must
withdraw your required minimum distribution by December 31.
If you own more than one IRA, you may be permitted to take your annual
distributions in any combination from your IRAs. A similar rule applies if you
own more than one TSA. However, you cannot satisfy this distribution
requirement for your IRA contract by taking a distribution from a TSA, and you
cannot satisfy the requirement for your TSA by taking a distribution from an
IRA.
You may be subject to a surrender charge on withdrawals taken to meet minimum
distribution requirements, if the withdrawals exceed the contract's maximum
penalty free amount.
Failure to satisfy the minimum distribution requirements may result in a tax
penalty. You should consult your tax adviser for more information. You may
elect to have the required minimum distribution amount on your contract
27
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. Accordingly, we recommend you consult your tax
adviser concerning your required minimum distribution. You may terminate your
election for automated minimum distribution at any time by sending a written
request to our Annuity Service Center. Upon notification of your death, we will
terminate the automatic required minimum distribution unless your Beneficiary
instructs us otherwise. We reserve the right to change or discontinue this
service at any time.
IRS regulations require that the annuity contract value used to determine
required minimum distributions include the actuarial value of other benefits
under the contract, such as optional 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 required minimum distribution.
This regulation does not apply to required minimum distributions made under an
irrevocable annuity income option. You should discuss the effect of these
regulations with your tax adviser.
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 are used as investment protection and are not expected
to rise to any adverse tax effects. However, the IRS could take the position
that some or all of 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% penalty
if the owner is under 59 1/2, unless another exception applies.
If you own a Qualified contract and purchase these enhanced death benefits, the
IRS may consider these benefits "incidental death benefits" or "life
insurance." The IRC imposes limits on the amount of the incidental benefits
and/or life insurance allowable for Qualified contracts and the
employer-sponsored plans under which they are purchased. If the death
benefit(s) selected by you are considered to exceed these limits, the
benefit(s) could result in taxable income to the owner of the Qualified
contract, and in some cases could adversely impact the qualified status of the
Qualified contract or the plan. You should consult your tax adviser regarding
these features and benefits prior to purchasing a contract.
CONTRACTS OWNED BY A TRUST OR CORPORATION
A Trust or Corporation or other owner that is not a natural person
("Non-Natural Owner") that is considering purchasing this contract should
consult a tax adviser.
Generally, the IRC 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 value
in excess of the owner's cost basis, and the contract's cost basis is then
increased by a like amount. However, this treatment is not applied to a
contract held by a trust or other entity as an agent for a natural person nor
to contracts held by Qualified Plans. Please see the Statement of Additional
Information for a more detailed discussion of the potential adverse tax
consequences associated with non-natural ownership of a Non-Qualified annuity
contract.
FOREIGN ACCOUNT TAX COMPLIANCE ("FATCA")
A Contract Owner who is not a "United States person" which is defined to mean:
o a citizen or resident of the United States
o a partnership or corporation created or organized in the United
States or under the law of the United States or of any state, or the
District of Columbia
o any estate or trust other than a foreign estate or foreign trust
(see Internal Revenue Code section 7701(a)(31) for the definition of
a foreign estate and a foreign trust)
o a person that meets the substantial presence test
o any other person that is not a foreign person.
should be aware that FATCA, enacted in 2010, provides that a 30% withholding
tax will be imposed on certain gross payments (which could include
distributions from cash value life insurance or annuity products) made to a
foreign entity if such entity fails to provide applicable certifications under
a Form W-9, Form W-8-BEN-E, Form W-8-IMY, or other applicable form, each of
which is effective for three years from date of signature unless a change in
circumstances makes any information on the form incorrect. Notwithstanding the
preceding sentence, certain withholding certifications will remain effective
until a change in circumstances makes any information on the form incorrect.
The Contract Owner must inform the Company within 30 days of any change in
circumstances that makes any information on the form incorrect by furnishing a
new IRS Form W-8 or acceptable substitute form.
OTHER WITHHOLDING TAX
A Contract Owner that is not exempt from United States federal withholding tax
should consult its tax advisor as to the availability of an exemption from, or
reduction of, such tax under an applicable income tax treaty, if any.
28
GIFTS, PLEDGES AND/OR ASSIGNMENTS OF A CONTRACT
If you transfer ownership of your Non-Qualified contract to a person other than
your spouse (or former spouse incident to divorce) as a gift you will pay
federal income tax on the contract's cash value to the extent it exceeds your
cost basis. The recipient's cost basis will be increased by the amount on which
you will pay federal taxes. In addition, the IRC treats any assignment or
pledge (or agreement to assign or pledge) of any portion of a Non-Qualified
contract as a withdrawal. Please see the Statement of Additional Information
for a more detailed discussion regarding potential tax consequences of gifting,
assigning, or pledging a Non-Qualified contract.
The IRC prohibits Qualified annuity contracts including IRAs from being
transferred, assigned or pledged as security for a loan. This prohibition,
however, generally does not apply to loans under an employer-sponsored plan
(including loans from the annuity contract) that satisfy certain requirements,
provided that: (a) the plan is not an unfunded deferred compensation plan; and
(b) the plan funding vehicle is not an IRA.
DIVERSIFICATION AND INVESTOR CONTROL
The IRC imposes certain diversification requirements on the underlying
investments for a variable annuity. We believe that the manager of the
Underlying Funds monitors the Funds so as to comply with these requirements. To
be treated as a variable annuity for tax purposes, the Underlying Funds must
meet these requirements.
The diversification regulations do not provide guidance as to the circumstances
under which you, and not the Company, would be considered the owner of the
shares of the Variable Portfolios under your Non-Qualified contract, because of
the degree of control you exercise over the underlying investments. This
diversification requirement is sometimes referred to as "investor control." The
determination of whether you possess sufficient incidents of ownership over
Variable Portfolio assets to be deemed the owner of the Underlying Funds
depends on all of the relevant facts and circumstances. However, IRS Revenue
Ruling 2003-91 provides 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 the Variable Portfolios. The Revenue Ruling provides
that if, based on all the facts and circumstances, you do not have direct or
indirect control over the Separate Account or any Variable Portfolio asset,
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. If any guidance is provided which is considered a new position,
then the guidance should generally be applied prospectively. However, if such
guidance is considered not to be a new position, it may be applied
retroactively. This would mean that you, as the owner of the Non-Qualified
contract, could be treated as the owner of the Underlying Fund. Due to the
uncertainty in this area, we reserve the right to modify the contract in an
attempt to maintain favorable tax treatment.
These investor control limitations generally do not apply to Qualified
contracts, which are referred to as "Pension Plan Contracts" for purposes of
this rule, although the limitations
could be applied to Qualified contracts in the future.

THE DISTRIBUTOR
AIG Capital Services, Inc., Harborside Financial Center, 3200 Plaza 5, Jersey
City, NJ 07311-4992, distributes the contracts. AIG Capital Services, Inc., an
affiliate of the Company, 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 AIG
Capital Services, Inc. in connection with the distribution of the contracts.
THE COMPANY
American General Life Insurance Company ("AGL") is a stock life insurance
company organized under the laws of the state of Texas. AGL's home office is
2727-A Allen Parkway, Houston, Texas 77019-2191. AGL is successor in interest
to a company originally organized under the laws of Delaware on January 10,
1917. AGL is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of American International
Group, Inc. ("AIG"), a Delaware corporation.
Effective December 31, 2012, SunAmerica Annuity and Life Assurance Company
("SunAmerica Annuity"), a former affiliate of AGL, merged with and into AGL
("Merger"). Before the Merger, contracts in all states except New York were
issued by SunAmerica Annuity. Upon the Merger, all contractual obligations of
SunAmerica Annuity became obligations of AGL.
The Merger did not affect the terms of, or the rights and obligations under
your contract, other than to reflect the change to the Company that provides
your contract benefits from SunAmerica Annuity to AGL. The Merger also did not
result in any adverse tax consequences for any contract Owners.
OWNERSHIP STRUCTURE OF THE COMPANY
AGL is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of American International Group,
Inc. ("AIG"), a Delaware corporation.
AGL is regulated for the benefit of policy owners by the insurance regulator in
its state of domicile and also by all state insurance departments where it is
licensed to conduct business. AGL 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
29
require AGL to maintain additional surplus to protect against a financial
impairment; the amount of which surplus is based on the risks inherent in AGL's
operations.
AIG is a leading international insurance organization serving customers in more
than 130 countries. AIG companies serve commercial, institutional, and
individual customers through one of the most extensive worldwide
property-casualty networks of any insurer. In addition, AIG companies are
leading providers of life insurance and retirement services in the United
States. AIG common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange and the Tokyo
Stock Exchange.
More information about AIG may be found in the regulatory filings AIG files
from time to time with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") at
www.sec.gov.
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 death and living guaranteed 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
Before December 31, 2012, Variable Annuity Account Seven was a separate account
of SunAmerica Annuity, originally established under Arizona law on August 28,
1998. On December 31, 2012, and in conjunction with the merger of AGL and
SunAmerica Annuity, Variable Annuity Account Seven was transferred to and
became 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
30
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

CYBER SECURITY
The Company is highly dependent upon the effective operation of our computer
systems and those of our business partners. As a result, the Company is
potentially susceptible to operational and information security risks resulting
from a cyber-attack. These risks include, among other things, the theft,
misuse, corruption and destruction of data maintained online or digitally,
denial of service attacks on websites and other operational disruption and
unauthorized release of confidential contract owner information. Cyber-attacks
affecting us, the Underlying Funds, intermediaries and other affiliated or
third-party service providers may adversely affect us and your contract value.
For instance, cyber-attacks may interfere with our processing of contract
transactions, including the processing orders from our website or with the
Underlying Funds, impact our ability to calculate accumulation unit values,
cause the release and possible destruction of confidential contract owner or
business information, impede order processing, subject us and/or our service
providers and intermediaries to
31
regulatory fines and financial losses and/or cause reputational damage. Cyber
security risks may also impact the issuers of securities in which the
Underlying Funds invest, which may cause the Underlying Funds to lose value.
There can be no assurance that we or the Underlying Funds or our service
providers will avoid losses affecting your contract due to cyber-attacks or
information security breaches in the future.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
There are no pending legal proceedings affecting the Separate Account. Various
lawsuits against the Company have arisen in the ordinary course of business. In
addition, various federal, state and 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, market conduct exams or
regulatory inquiries.
As of April 30, 2015, the Company believes it is not likely that contingent
liabilities arising from the above matters will have a material adverse effect
on the financial condition of the Company.

APPENDIX C - 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.
Guarantees for contracts and certificates issued prior to the Merger will
continue after the Merger. As a result, the Merger of SunAmerica Annuity into
AGL will not impact the insurance obligations under the Guarantee. PLEASE SEE
THE COMPANY ABOVE FOR MORE DETAILS REGARDING THE MERGER.
American Home is a stock property-casualty insurance company incorporated under
the laws of the State of New York on February 7, 1899. American Home's
principal executive office is located at 175 Water Street, New York, New York

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. AGL is a
successor in interest to a company originally organized under the laws of
Delaware on January 10, 1917. The Company is an indirect, wholly-owned
subsidiary of American International Group, Inc. ("American International
Group"), a Delaware corporation. American International Group is a holding
company which, through its subsidiaries, is engaged primarily in a broad range
of insurance and insurance-related activities in the United States and abroad.
The commitments under the contacts are the Company's, and American International
Group has no legal obligation to back those commitments.
On December 31, 2012, SunAmerica Annuity and Life Assurance Company
("SunAmerica Annuity"), American General Assurance Company ("AGAC"), American
General Life and Accident Insurance Company ("AGLA"), American General Life
Insurance Company of Delaware ("AGLD"), SunAmerica Life Insurance Company
("SALIC") and Western National Life Insurance Company, ("WNL"), affiliates of
American General Life Insurance Company, merged with and into American General
Life Insurance Company ("Merger"). Prior to this date, the Polaris Plus
contracts were issued by SunAmerica Annuity in all states except New York.
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 ("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.
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
-3-
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' managements to make necessary
changes in their Variable Portfolios 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 expense deductions provided for in the contract
(although the Company does not guarantee the amounts of the variable annuity
income payments).
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. Your contract may offer Fixed Account
Guarantee Periods ("FAGP") to which you may allocate certain Purchase Payments
or contract value. Available guarantee periods may be for different lengths of
time (such as 1, 3 or 5 years) and may have different guaranteed interest rates.
We may also offer the specific Dollar Cost Averaging Fixed Accounts ("DCAFA").
Assets supporting amounts allocated to fixed investment 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.

PERFORMANCE DATA
From time to time, we periodically advertise performance data relating to
Variable Portfolios and Underlying Funds. We will calculate performance by
determining the percentage change in the value of an Accumulation Unit by
dividing the increase (or decrease) for that unit by the value of the
Accumulation Unit at the beginning of the period. This performance number
reflects the deduction of the Separate Account charges (including certain death
benefit rider charges) and the Underlying Fund expenses. It does not reflect the
deduction of any applicable contract maintenance fee, withdrawal (or sales)
charges, if applicable, or optional feature charges. The deduction of these
charges would reduce the percentage increase or make greater any percentage
decrease. Any advertisement will include total return figures which reflect the
deduction of the Separate Account charges (including certain death benefit
charges), contract maintenance fee, withdrawal (or sales) charges and the
Underlying Fund expenses.
We may advertise the optional living benefits and death benefits using
illustrations showing how the benefit works with historical performance of
specific Underlying Funds or with a hypothetical rate of return (which will not
exceed 12%) or a combination of historical and hypothetical returns. These
illustrations will reflect the deduction of all applicable charges including the
Underlying Fund expenses.
The Separate Account may advertise "total return" data for the Variable
Portfolios. Total return figures are based on historical data and are not
intended to indicate future performance. "Total return" is a computed rate of
return that, when compounded annually over a stated period of time and applied
to a hypothetical initial investment in a Variable Portfolio made at the
beginning of the period, will produce the same contract value at the end of the
period that the hypothetical investment would have produced over the same period
(assuming a complete redemption of the contract at the end of the period).
For periods starting prior to the date the Variable Portfolios first became
available through the Separate Account, the total return data for the Variable
Portfolios of the Separate Account will be derived from the performance of the
corresponding Underlying Funds, modified to reflect the charges and expenses as
if the contract had been in existence since the inception date of each
respective Underlying Fund. Further, returns shown are for the original class of
shares of certain Underlying Funds, adjusted to reflect the fees and charges for
the newer class of shares until performance for the newer class becomes
available. Returns of the newer class of shares will be lower than those of the
original class since the newer class of shares is subject to (higher) service
fees. We commonly refer to these performance calculations as hypothetical
adjusted historical returns. Performance figures similarly adjusted but based on
the Underlying Funds' performance (outside of this Separate Account) should not
be construed to be actual historical performance of the relevant Separate
Account's Variable Portfolio. Rather, they are intended to indicate the
historical performance of the corresponding Underlying Funds, adjusted to
provide direct comparability to the performance of the Variable Portfolios after
the date the contracts were first offered to the public (reflecting certain
contractual fees and charges).
Performance data for the various Portfolios are computed in the manner
described below.
CASH MANAGEMENT PORTFOLIO
Current yield is computed by first determining the Base Period Return
attributable to a hypothetical contract having a balance of one Accumulation
Unit at the beginning of a 7 day period using the formula:
-5-
Base Period Return = (EV-SV)/(SV)
where:
SV = value of one Accumulation Unit at the start of a 7 day period
EV = value of one Accumulation Unit at the end of the 7 day period
The change in the value of an Accumulation Unit during the 7 day period
reflects the income received, minus any expenses accrued, during such 7 day
period.
The current yield is then obtained by annualizing the Base Period Return:
Current Yield = (Base Period Return) x (365/7)
The Cash Management Portfolio also quotes an "effective yield" that differs
from the current yield given above in that it takes into account the effect of
dividend reinvestment in the Underlying Fund. The effective yield, like the
current yield, is derived from the Base Period Return over a 7 day period.
However, the effective yield accounts for dividend reinvestment by compounding
the current yield according to the formula:
365/7
Effective Yield = [(Base Period Return + 1) - 1]
The yield quoted should not be considered a representation of the yield of
the Cash Management Portfolio in the future since the yield is not fixed. Actual
yields will depend on the type, quality and maturities of the investments held
by the Underlying Fund and changes in interest rates on such investments.
Yield information may be useful in reviewing the performance of the Cash
Management Portfolio and for providing a basis for comparison with other
investment alternatives. However, the Cash Management Portfolio's yield
fluctuates, unlike bank deposits or other investments that typically pay a fixed
yield for a stated period of time. In periods of very low short-term interest
rates, the Portfolio's yield may become negative, which may result in a decline
in the value of your investment.
OTHER PORTFOLIOS
The Variable Portfolios of the Separate Account other than the Cash
Management Portfolio also compute their performance data as "total return."
Total return for a Variable Portfolio represents a single computed annual
rate of return that, when compounded annually over a specified time period (one,
five, and ten years, or since inception) and applied to a hypothetical initial
investment in a contract funded by that Variable Portfolio made at the beginning
of the period, will produce the same contract value at the end of the period
that the hypothetical investment would have produced over the same period. The
total rate of return (T) is computed so that it satisfies the formula:
n
P (1+T) = ERV
where: P = a hypothetical initial payment of $1,000
T = average annual total return
n = number of years
ERV = ending redeemable value of a hypothetical $1,000 payment made
at the beginning of the 1, 5, or 10 year period as of the end
of the period (or fractional portion thereof).
Total return figures reflect the effect of certain non-recurring and
recurring charges. The applicable withdrawal charge (if any) is deducted at the
end of the period, to reflect the effect of the assumed complete redemption.
Total return figures are derived from historical data and are not intended to be
a projection of future performance.
-6-
ANNUITY INCOME PAYMENTS
INITIAL MONTHLY ANNUITY PAYMENTS
The initial 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, 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 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 annuity income payment is the same as that determined above
for the first monthly annuity income payment.
For variable annuity income payments, the amount of the second and each
subsequent monthly annuity income payment is determined by multiplying the
number of Annuity Units, as determined in connection with the determination of
the initial monthly annuity income payment, above, by the Annuity Unit value as
of the day preceding the date on which each annuity income payment is due.
ANNUITY INCOME PAYMENTS UNDER THE INCOME PROTECTOR PROGRAM
If contract holders elect to begin annuity income payments using the
Income Protector feature, the income benefit base is determined as described in
the prospectus. The initial annuity income payment is determined by applying the
income benefit base to the annuity table specifically designated for use in
conjunction with the Income Protector feature, either in the contract or in the
endorsement to the contract. Those tables are based on a set amount per $1,000
of income benefit base 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 income benefit base is applied 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. The amount of the second
and each subsequent annuity income payment is the same as that determined above
for the first monthly annuity income payment.
-7-
ANNUITY UNIT VALUES
The value of an Annuity Unit is determined independently for each
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 Portfolio exceed 3.5%, variable annuity income payments derived from
allocations to that Portfolio will increase over time. Conversely, if the actual
rate is less than 3.5%, variable 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 annuity income payment would be higher, but the actual net investment
rate would also have to be higher in order for 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 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 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 Portfolio for a certain month is determined by dividing
(a) by (b) where:
(a) is the Accumulation Unit value of the Portfolio determined as of
the end of that month, and
(b) is the Accumulation Unit value of the Portfolio determined as of
the end of the preceding month.
The NIF for a Portfolio for a given month is a measure of the net
investment performance of the 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 Portfolio invests; it is also reduced by Separate Account asset charges.
ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE
Assume that one share of a given 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 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 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 annuity income payment tables are based. For
example, if the net investment rate for a Portfolio (reflected in the NIF) were
-8-
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 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
VARIABLE ANNUITY INCOME PAYMENTS
ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE
Assume that a male owner, P, owns a contract in connection with which P
has allocated all of his contract value to a single Portfolio. P is also the
sole Annuitant and, at age 60, has elected to annuitize his contract under
Option 4, a Life Annuity With 120 Monthly Payments Guaranteed. As of the last
valuation preceding the Annuity Date, P's Account was credited with 7543.2456
Accumulation Units each having a value of $15.432655, (i.e., P's account value
is equal to 7543.2456 x $15.432655 = $116,412.31). Assume also that the Annuity
Unit value for the Portfolio on that same date is $13.256932, and that the
Annuity Unit value on the day immediately prior to the second annuity income
payment date is $13.327695.
P's first variable annuity income payment is determined from the annuity
factor tables in P's contract, using the information assumed above. From these
tables, which supply monthly annuity factors for each $1,000 of applied contract
value, P's first variable annuity income payment is determined by multiplying
the factor of 4.92 (Option 4 tables, male Annuitant age 60 at the Annuity Date)
by the result of dividing P's account value by $1,000:
First Annuity Income Payment = 4.92 x ($116,412.31/$1,000) = $572.75
The number of P's Annuity Units (which will be fixed; i.e., it will not
change unless he transfers his Account 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 = $572.75/$13.256932 = 43.203812
P's 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 income payment due date:
Second Annuity Income Payment = 43.203812 x $13.327695 = $575.81
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 Portfolio on the Annuity Date and
thus reflects the investment performance of the 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 Portfolio). The net investment performance of
the 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.

GENERAL
Note: DISCUSSIONS REGARDING THE TAX TREATMENT OF ANY ANNUITY CONTRACT OR
RETIREMENT PLAN AND PROGRAM ARE INTENDED FOR GENERAL PURPOSES ONLY AND ARE NOT
INTENDED AS TAX ADVICE, EITHER GENERAL OR INDIVIDUALIZED, NOR SHOULD THEY BE
INTERPRETED TO PROVIDE ANY PREDICTIONS OR GUARANTEES OF A PARTICULAR TAX
TREATMENT. SUCH DISCUSSIONS GENERALLY ARE BASED UPON THE COMPANY'S UNDERSTANDING
OF CURRENT TAX RULES AND INTERPRETATIONS, AND MAY INCLUDE AREAS OF THOSE RULES
THAT ARE MORE OR LESS CLEAR OR CERTAIN. 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 RETROACTIVE
EFFECT AS WELL. YOU SHOULD SEEK COMPETENT TAX OR LEGAL ADVICE, AS YOU DEEM
NECESSARY OR APPROPRIATE, REGARDING YOUR OWN CIRCUMSTANCES. WE DO NOT GUARANTEE
THE TAX STATUS OR TREATMENT OF YOUR ANNUITY.
Section 72 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code" or
"IRC") governs taxation of annuities in general. A natural owner is not taxed on
increases in the value of a contract until distribution occurs, either in the
form of a non-annuity distribution or as income payments under the annuity
option elected. For a lump-sum payment received as a total surrender (total
redemption), the recipient is taxed on the portion of the payment that exceeds
the cost basis of the contract. For a payment received as a withdrawal (partial
redemption), federal tax liability is determined on a last-in, first-out basis,
meaning taxable income is withdrawn before the cost basis of the contract is
withdrawn. A different rule applies to Purchase Payments made (including, if
applicable, in the case of a contract issued in exchange for a prior contract)
prior to August 14, 1982. Those Purchase Payments are considered withdrawn first
for federal income tax purposes, followed by earnings on those Purchase
Payments. For Non-Qualified contracts, the cost basis is generally the Purchase
Payments. The taxable portion of the lump-sum payment is taxed at ordinary
income tax rates. Tax penalties may also apply.
If you purchase your contract under one of a number of types of employer-
sponsored retirement plans, as an individual retirement annuity, or under an
individual retirement account, your contract is referred to as a Qualified
Contract. Examples of qualified plans or arrangements are: Individual Retirement
Annuities and Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs), Roth IRAs, Tax-Sheltered
Annuities (also referred to as 403(b) annuities or 403(b) contracts), plans of
self-employed individuals (often referred to as H.R. 10 Plans or Keogh Plans),
pension and profit sharing plans including 401(k) plans, and governmental 457(b)
plans. Typically, for employer plans and tax-deductible IRA contributions, you
have not paid any tax on the Purchase Payments used to buy your contract and
therefore, you have no cost basis in your contract. However, you normally will
have a 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 traditional IRA or
in another Qualified contract.
-10-
For annuity payments, the portion of each payment that is in excess of the
exclusion amount is includible in taxable income. The exclusion amount for
payments based on a fixed annuity option is determined by multiplying the
payment by the ratio that the cost basis of the Contract (if any, and adjusted
for any period or refund feature) bears to the expected return under the
Contract. The exclusion amount for payments based on a variable annuity option
is determined by dividing the cost basis of the Contract (adjusted for any
period certain or refund guarantee) by the number of years over which the
annuity is expected to be paid. Payments received after the investment in the
Contract has been recovered (i.e. when the total of the excludable amount equals
the investment in the Contract) are fully taxable. The taxable portion is taxed
at ordinary income tax rates. For certain types of qualified plans there may be
no cost basis in the Contract within the meaning of Section 72 of the Code.
Owners, annuitants and beneficiaries under the Contracts should seek competent
financial advice about the tax consequences of any distributions.
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.
TAX TREATMENT OF DISTRIBUTIONS - NON-QUALIFIED CONTRACTS
If you make partial or total withdrawals from a non-qualified contract, the Code
generally treats such withdrawals as coming first from taxable earnings and then
coming from your Purchase Payments. Purchase payments made prior to August 14,
1982, however, are an important exception to this general rule, and for tax
purposes generally are treated as being distributed first, before either the
earnings on those contributions, or other purchase payments and earnings in the
contract. If you annuitize your contract, a portion of each income payment will
be considered, for tax purposes, to be a return of a portion of your Purchase
Payment, generally until you have received all of your Purchase Payment. Any
portion of each income payment that is considered a return of your Purchase
Payment will not be taxed. Additionally, the taxable portion of any
withdrawals, whether annuitized or other withdrawals, generally is subject to
applicable state and/or local income taxes, and may be subject to an
additional 10% penalty tax unless withdrawn in conjunction with the
following circumstances:
- after attaining age 591/2;
- when paid to your beneficiary after you die;
- after you become disabled (as defined in the Code);
- 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 expectancies) of you and
your designated beneficiary for a period of 5 years or attainment of
age 591/2, whichever is later;
-11-
- under an immediate annuity contract;
- which are attributable to Purchase Payments made prior to
August 14, 1982.
On March 30, 2010 the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act
("Reconciliation Act") was signed into law. Among other provisions, the
Reconciliation Act imposes a new tax on net investment income. This tax, which
went into effect in 2013, is at the rate of 3.8% of applicable thresholds for
Modified Adjusted Gross Income ("MAGI") ($250,000 for joint filers; $125,000 for
married individuals filing separately; and, $200,000 for individual filers).
An individual with MAGI in excess of the threshold will be required to pay
this new tax on net investment income in excess of the applicable MAGI
threshold. For this purpose, net investment income generally will include
taxable withdrawals from a Non-Qualified contract, as well as other taxable
amounts including amounts taxed annually to an owner that is not a natural
person. This new tax generally does not apply to Qualified contracts, however
taxable distributions from such contracts may be taken into account in
determining the applicability of the MAGI thresholds.
TAX TREATMENT OF DISTRIBUTIONS - QUALIFIED CONTRACTS
Generally, you have not paid any federal taxes on the Purchase Payments used to
buy a Qualified contract. As a result, most amounts withdrawn from the contract
or received as income payments will be taxable income. Exceptions to this
general rule include withdrawals attributable to after-tax Roth IRA
contributions and designated Roth contributions to a 403(b), 401(k), or
governmental 457(b) plan. Withdrawals from Roth IRAs are generally treated for
federal tax purposes as coming first from the Roth contributions that have
already been taxed, and as entirely tax free. Withdrawals from designated Roth
accounts in a 403(b), 401(k) or governmental 457(b) plan, and withdrawals
generally from Qualified contracts, are treated generally as coming pro-rata
from amounts that already have been taxed and amounts that are taxed upon
withdrawal. Qualified Distributions from Roth IRAs and designated Roth accounts
in 403(b), 401(k), and governmental 457(b) plans which satisfy certain
qualification requirements, including at least five years in a Roth account
under the plan or IRA and either attainment of age 59 1/2, death or disability
(or, if an IRA for the purchase of a first home), will not be subject to federal
income taxation.
-12-
The taxable portion of any withdrawal or income payment from a Qualified
contract will be subject to an additional 10% federal penalty tax, under the
IRC, except in the following circumstances:
- after attainment of age 59 1/2;
- when paid to your beneficiary after you die;
- after you become disabled (as defined in the IRC);
- 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 for a period of 5 years or attainment of age 59 1/2,
whichever is later;
- payments to employees after separation from service after attainment of
age 55 (does not apply to IRAs);
- dividends paid with respect to stock of a corporation described in IRC
Section 404(k);
- for payment of medical expenses to the extent such withdrawals do not
exceed limitations set by the IRC for deductible amounts paid during the
taxable year for medical care;
- payments to alternate payees pursuant to a qualified domestic relations
order (does not apply to IRAs);
- for payment of health insurance if you are unemployed and meet certain
requirements;
- distributions from IRAs for certain higher education expenses;
- distributions from IRAs for first home purchases;
- amounts distributed from a Code Section 457(b) plan other than amounts
representing rollovers from an IRA or employer sponsored plan to which
the 10% penalty would otherwise apply;
- payments to certain reservists called up for active duty after September
11, 2001; or
- payments up to $3,000 per year for health, life and accident insurance by
certain retired public safety officers.
-13-
The Code generally requires the Company (or, in some cases, a plan
administrator) to withhold federal tax on the taxable portion of any
distribution or withdrawal from a contract, subject in certain instances to the
payee's right to elect out of withholding or to elect a different rate of
withholding. For "eligible rollover distributions" from contracts issued under
certain types of qualified plans, not including IRAs, 20% of the distribution
must be withheld, unless the payee elects to have the distribution "rolled over"
or transferred to another eligible plan in a direct trustee-to- trustee"
transfer. This requirement is mandatory and cannot be waived by the owner.
Withholding on other types of distributions, including distributions from IRAs
can be waived. An "eligible rollover distribution" is the taxable portion of any
amount received by a covered employee from a retirement plan qualified under
Sections 401 or 403 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 other than (1) substantially equal periodic payments
calculated using the life (or life expectancy) of the employee, or joint lives
(or joint life expectancies) of the employee and his or her designated
Beneficiary, or for a specified period of ten years or more; (2) financial
hardship withdrawals; (3) minimum distributions required to be made under the
Code; and (4) distribution of contributions to a Qualified contract which were
made in excess of the applicable contribution limit. Failure to "roll over" the
entire amount of an eligible rollover distribution (including an amount equal
to the 20% portion of the distribution that was withheld) could have adverse
tax consequences, including the imposition of a federal penalty tax on premature
withdrawals, described later in this section. Only (1) the participant, or,
(2) in the case of the participant's death, the participant's surviving spouse,
or (3) in the case of a domestic relations order, the participant's spouse
or ex-spouse may roll over a distribution into a plan of the participant's
own. An exception to this rule is that a non-spousal beneficiary may, subject
to plan provisions, roll inherited funds from an eligible retirement plan into
an Inherited IRA. An Inherited IRA is an IRA created for the sole purpose of
receiving funds inherited by non-spousal beneficiaries of eligible retirement
plans. The distribution must be transferred to the Inherited IRA in a direct
"trustee-to-trustee" transfer. Inherited IRAs must meet the distribution
requirements relating to IRAs inherited by non-spousal beneficiaries under Code
sections 408(a)(6) and (b)(3) and 401(a)(9).
Funds in a Qualified contract may be rolled directly over to a Roth IRA.
Withdrawals or distributions from a contract other than eligible rollover
distributions are also subject to withholding on the taxable portion of the
distribution, but the owner may elect in such cases to waive the withholding
requirement. If not waived, withholding is imposed (1) for periodic payments, at
the rate that would be imposed if the payments were wages, or (2) for other
distributions, at the rate of 10%. If no withholding exemption certificate is in
effect for the payee, the rate under (1) above is computed by treating the payee
as a married individual claiming 3 withholding exemptions.
-14-
The Small Business Jobs Act of 2010 subsequently added the ability for "in-Plan"
rollovers of eligible rollover distribution from pre-tax accounts to a
designated Roth account in certain employer-sponsored plans which otherwise
include or permit designated Roth accounts. The American Taxpayer Relief Act of
2013 ("ATRA") expanded the ability for such in-Plan Roth conversions by
permitting eligible plans that include an in-plan Roth contribution feature to
offer participants the option of converting any amounts held in the plan to
after-tax Roth, regardless of whether those amounts are currently distributable.
DIVERSIFICATION -- SEPARATE ACCOUNT INVESTMENTS
Section 817(h) of the Code imposes certain diversification standards on the
underlying assets of Non-Qualified variable annuity contracts. These
requirements generally do not apply to Qualified contracts, which are considered
"Pension Plan Contracts" for purposes of these Code requirements. The Code
provides that a variable annuity contract will not be treated as an annuity
contract for any period (and any subsequent period) for which the investments
are not adequately diversified, in accordance with regulations prescribed by the
United States Treasury Department ("Treasury Department"). Disqualification of
the contract as an annuity contract would result in imposition of federal income
tax to the owner with respect to earnings allocable to the contract prior to the
receipt of any payments under the contract. The Code contains a safe harbor
provision which provides that annuity contracts, such as your contract, meet the
diversification requirements if, as of the close of each calendar quarter, the
underlying assets meet the diversification standards for a regulated investment
company, and no more than 55% of the total assets consist of cash, cash items,
U.S. government securities and securities of other regulated investment
companies.
The Treasury Department has issued regulations which establish diversification
requirements for the investment portfolios underlying variable contracts such as
the contracts. The regulations amplify the diversification requirements for
variable contracts set forth in the Code and provide an alternative to the safe
harbor provision described above. 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. For purposes of determining whether or not the diversification
standards imposed on the underlying assets of variable contracts by Section
817(h) of the Code have been met, "each United States government agency or
instrumentality shall be treated as a separate issuer."
-15-
NON-NATURAL OWNERS
Under Section 72(u) of the Code, the investment earnings on premiums for the
Contracts will be taxed currently to the Owner if the Owner is a non-natural
person such as a corporation or certain other entities. Such Contracts generally
will not be accorded tax-deferred status. However, this treatment is not applied
to a Contract held by a trust or other entity as an agent for a natural person
or to Contracts held by qualified plans. Purchasers should consult their own tax
counsel or other tax adviser before purchasing a Contract to be owned by a non-
natural person.
MULTIPLE CONTRACTS
The Code provides that multiple Non-Qualified annuity contracts which are issued
within a calendar year to the same contract owner by one company are treated as
one annuity contract for purposes of determining the federal tax consequences of
any distribution. Such treatment may result in adverse tax consequences
including more rapid taxation of the distributed amounts from such combination
of contracts. For purposes of this rule, contracts received in a Section 1035
exchange will be considered issued in the year of the exchange. (However, they
may be treated as issued on the issue date of the contract being exchanged, for
certain purposes, including for determining whether the contract is an immediate
annuity contract.) Owners should consult a tax adviser prior to purchasing more
than one Non-Qualified annuity contract from the same issuer in any calendar
year.
TAX TREATMENT OF ASSIGNMENTS OF QUALIFIED CONTRACTS
Generally, a Qualified contract, including an IRA, may not be assigned or
pledged. One exception to this rule is if the assignment is part of a permitted
loan program under an employer-sponsored plan (other than a plan funded with
IRAs) or 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.
TAX TREATMENT OF GIFTING, ASSIGNING OR TRANSFERRING OWNERSHIP OF A NON-QUALIFIED
CONTRACT
Under IRC Section 72(e), if you transfer ownership of your Non-Qualified
Contract to a person other than your spouse (or former spouse if incident to
divorce) for less than adequate consideration you will be taxed on the earnings
above the purchase payments at the time of transfer. If you transfer ownership
of your Non-Qualified Contract and receive payment less than the Contract's
value, you will also be liable for the tax on the Contract's value above your
purchase payments not previously withdrawn.
The new Contract owner's purchase payments (basis) in the Contract will be
increased to reflect the amount included in your taxable income.
-16-
FOREIGN ACCOUNT TAX COMPLIANCE ("FATCA")
A Contract Owner who is not a "United States person" which is defined under the
Internal Revenue Code section to mean:
.. a citizen or resident of the United States
.. a partnership or corporation created or organized in the United States or
under the law of the United States or of any state, or the District of
Columbia
.. any estate or trust other than a foreign estate or foreign trust (see
Internal Revenue Code section 7701(a)(31) for the definition of a foreign
estate and a foreign trust)
.. a person that meets the substantial presence test
.. any other person that is not a foreign person
should be aware that FATCA, enacted in 2010, provides that a 30% withholding
tax will be imposed on certain gross payments (which could include
distributions from cash value life insurance or annuity products) made to a
foreign entity if such entity fails to provide applicable certifications under
a Form W-9, Form W-8-BEN-E, Form W-8-IMY, or other applicable form, each of
which is effective for three years from date of signature unless a change in
circumstances makes any information on the form incorrect. Notwithstanding the
preceding sentence, certain withholding certifications will remain effective
until a change in circumstances makes any information on the form incorrect.
The Contract Owner must inform the Company within 30 days of any change in
circumstances that makes any information on the form incorrect by furnishing a
new IRS Form W-8 or acceptable substitute form. An entity, for this purpose,
will be considered a foreign entity unless it provides an applicable
certification to the contrary.
OTHER WITHHOLDING TAX
A Contract Owner that is not exempt from United States federal withholding tax
should consult its tax advisor as to the availability of an exemption from, or
reduction of, such tax under an applicable income tax treaty, if any.
FEDERAL WITHDRAWAL RESTRICTIONS FROM QUALIFIED CONTRACTS
The IRC limits the withdrawal of Purchase Payments from certain Tax-Sheltered
Annuities (TSAs) and certain other Qualified contracts. Withdrawals generally
can only be made when an owner: (1) reaches age 59 1/2 (70 1/2 in the case
of Section 457(b) Plans); (2) separates from employment from the employer
sponsoring the plan; (3) dies; (4) becomes disabled (as defined in the IRC)
(does not apply to section 457(b) plans); or (5) experiences a financial
hardship (as defined in the IRC). In the case of hardship, the owner generally
can only withdraw Purchase Payments. There are certain exceptions to these
restrictions which are generally based upon the type of investment arrangement,
the type of contributions, and the date the contributions were made. Transfers
of amounts from one Qualified contract to another investment option under the
same plan, or to another contract or account of the same plan type or from a
qualified plan to a state defined benefit plan to purchase service credits are
not considered distributions, and thus are not subject to these withdrawal
limitations. Such transfers may, however, be subject to limitations under the
annuity contract or Plan.
-17-
PARTIAL 1035 EXCHANGES OF NON-QUALIFIED ANNUITIES
Section 1035 of the Code provides that a Non-Qualified annuity contract may be
exchanged in a tax-free transaction for another Non-Qualified annuity contract.
Historically, it was generally understood that only the exchange of an entire
annuity contract, as opposed to a partial exchange, would be respected by the
IRS as a tax-free exchange. However, Revenue Procedure 2011-38 provides that a
direct transfer of a portion of the cash surrender value of an existing annuity
contract for a second annuity contract, regardless of whether the two annuity
contracts are issued by the same or different companies, will be treated as a
tax-free exchange under Code section 1035 if no amounts, other than amounts
received an annuity for a period of 10 years or more or during one or more
lives, are received under the original contract or the new contract during the
180 days beginning on the date of the transfer (in the case of a new contract,
on the date the contract is placed in-force). Owners should seek their own tax
advice regarding such transactions and the tax risks associated with subsequent
surrenders or withdrawals.
QUALIFIED PLANS
The contracts offered by this prospectus are designed to be available for use
under various types of qualified plans. Taxation of owners in each qualified
plan varies with the type of plan and terms and conditions of each specific
plan. Owners and Beneficiaries are cautioned that benefits under a qualified
plan may be subject to limitations under the IRC and the employer-sponsored
plan, in addition to the terms and conditions of the contracts issued pursuant
to the plan. The following are general descriptions of the types of qualified
plans with which the contracts may be used. Such descriptions are not exhaustive
and are for general information purposes only. The tax rules regarding qualified
plans are very complex and will have differing applications depending on
individual facts and circumstances. Each purchaser should obtain competent tax
advice prior to purchasing a contract issued under a qualified plan. Contracts
issued pursuant to qualified plans include special provisions restricting
contract provisions that may otherwise be available and described in this
prospectus. Generally, contracts issued pursuant to qualified plans are not
transferable except upon surrender or annuitization. Various penalty and excise
taxes may apply to contributions or distributions made in violation of
applicable limitations. Furthermore, certain contractual withdrawal penalties
and restrictions may apply to surrender from Qualified contracts.
-18-
(a) 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. Contributions made to the plan for the benefit of the employees
will not be included in the gross income of the employees, for federal tax
purposes, until distributed from the plan if certain conditions are met. The tax
consequences to owners may vary depending upon the particular plan design.
However, the Code places limitations and restrictions on these plans, such as:
amounts of allowable contributions; 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. Purchasers of contracts for use with an H.R. 10 Plan should obtain
competent tax advice as to the tax treatment and suitability of such an
investment.
(b) Tax-Sheltered Annuities
Section 403(b) of the Code permits the purchase of "tax-sheltered annuities" by
public schools and not-for-profit organizations described in Section 501(c)(3)
of the Code. These qualifying employers may make contributions to the contracts
for the benefit of their employees. Such contributions are not includible in the
gross income of the employee until the employee receives distributions from the
contract if certain conditions are met. The amount of contributions to the tax-
sheltered annuity is limited to certain maximums imposed by the Code. One of
these limits, on the amount that the employee may contribute on a voluntary
basis, is imposed by the annuity contract as well as by the Code. That limit for
2015 is the lesser of 100% of includible compensation or $18,000. The limit may
be increased by up to $3,000 for certain employees with at least fifteen years
of full-time equivalent service with an eligible employer, and by an additional
$6,000 in 2015 for employees age 50 or older, provided that other applicable
requirements are satisfied. Total combined employer and employee contributions
for 2015 may not exceed the lesser of $53,000 or 100% of compensation.
Furthermore, the Code sets forth additional restrictions governing such items as
transferability, distributions, nondiscrimination and withdrawals. Any employee
should obtain competent tax advice as to the tax treatment and suitability of
such an Investment.
On July 26, 2007, the Department of the Treasury published final 403(b)
regulations that largely became effective on January 1, 2009. These
comprehensive regulations include several rules and requirements, such as a
requirement that employers maintain their 403(b) plans pursuant to a written
plan. The final regulations, subsequent IRS guidance, and the terms of the
written plan may impose new restrictions on both new and existing contracts,
including restrictions on the availability of loans, distributions, transfers
and exchanges, regardless of when a contract was purchased.
-19-
In general, certain contracts originally established by a 90-24 transfer prior
to September 25, 2007 are exempt (or grandfathered) from some of the
requirements of the final regulations; provided that no salary reduction or
other contributions have ever been made to the contract, and that no additional
transfers are made to made to the contract on or after September 25, 2007.
Further, contracts that are not grandfathered were generally required to be part
of, and subject to the requirements of an employer's 403(b) plan upon its
establishment, but no later than by January 1, 2009.
The final regulations generally do not affect a participant's ability to
transfer some or all of a 403(b) account to a state-defined benefit plan to
purchase service credits, where such a transfer is otherwise consistent
with applicable rules and requirements and with the terms of the employer's
plan.
The foregoing discussion is intended as a general discussion only, and you may
wish to discuss the 403(b) regulations and/or the general information above with
your tax advisor.
(c) Individual Retirement Annuities
Section 408(b) of the Code permits eligible individuals to contribute to an
individual retirement program known as a traditional "Individual Retirement
Annuity" ("IRA"). Under applicable limitations, certain amounts may be
contributed to an IRA which will be deductible from the individual's gross
income. The ability to deduct an IRA contribution to a traditional IRA is
subject to limits based upon income levels, retirement plan participation
status, and other factors. The maximum IRA (traditional and/or Roth)
contribution for 2015 is the lesser of $5,500 or 100% of compensation.
Individuals age 50 or older may be able to contribute an additional $1,000 in
2015. IRAs are subject to limitations on eligibility, contributions,
transferability and distributions. Sales of contracts for use with IRAs are
subject to special requirements imposed by the Code, including the requirement
that certain informational disclosure be given to persons desiring to establish
an IRA. Purchasers of contracts to be qualified as IRAs should obtain competent
tax advice as to the tax treatment and suitability of such an investment. If
neither the Owner nor the Owner's spouse is covered by an employer retirement
plan, the IRA contribution may be fully deductible. If the Owner, or if filing
jointly, the Owner or spouse, is covered by an employer retirement plan, the
Owner may be entitled to only a partial (reduced) deduction or no deduction at
all, depending on adjusted gross income, The rules concerning what constitutes
"coverage" are complex and purchasers should consult their tax advisor or
Internal Revenue Service Publication 590 for more details. The effect of income
on the deduction is sometimes called the adjusted gross income limitation (AGI
limit). A modified AGI at or below a certain threshold level allows a full
deduction of contributions regardless of coverage under an employer's plan. If
you and your spouse are filing jointly and have a modified AGI in 2015 of less
than $98,000, your contribution may be fully deductible; if your income is
between $98,000 and $118,000, your contribution may be partially deductible and
if your income is $118,000 or more, your contribution may not be deductible. If
you are single and your income in 2015 is less than $61,000, your contribution
may be fully deductible; if your income is between $61,000 and $71,000, your
contribution may be partially deductible and if your income is $71,000 or more,
your contribution may not be deductible. If you are married filing separately
and you lived with your spouse at anytime during the year, and your income
exceeds $10,000, none of your contribution may be deductible. If you and your
spouse file jointly, and you are not covered by a plan but your spouse is: if
your modified AGI in 2015 is between $183,000 and $193,000, your contribution
may be partially deductible.
-20-
(d) Roth IRAs
Section 408A of the Code permits an individual to contribute to an individual
retirement program called a Roth IRA. Contributions to a Roth IRA are not
deductible but distributions are tax-free if certain requirements are satisfied.
The maximum IRA (traditional and/or Roth) contribution for 2015 is the lesser of
$5,500 or 100% of compensation. Individuals age 50 or older may be able to
contribute an additional $1,000 in 2015. Unlike traditional IRAs, to which
everyone can contribute even if they cannot deduct the full contribution, Roth
IRAs have income limitations on who can establish such a contract. Generally,
you can make a full or partial contribution to a Roth IRA if you have taxable
compensation and your modified adjusted gross income in 2015 is less than:
$183,000 for married filing jointly or qualifying widow(er), $10,000 for married
filing separately and you lived with your spouse at any time during the year,
and $116,000 for single, head of household, or married filing separately and you
did not live with your spouse at any time during the year. All persons may be
eligible to convert a distribution from an employer-sponsored plan or from a
traditional IRA into a Roth IRA. Conversions or rollovers from qualified plans
into Roth IRAs normally require taxes to be paid on any previously untaxed
amounts included in the amount converted. If the Contracts are made available
for use with Roth IRAs, they may be subject to special requirements imposed by
the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"). Purchasers of the Contracts for this
purpose will be provided with such supplementary information as may be required
by the IRS or other appropriate agency.
(e) Pension and Profit-Sharing Plans
Section 401(a) of the Code permits certain employers to establish various types
of retirement plans, including 401(k) plans, for employees. However,
governmental employers may not establish new 401(k) plans. These retirement
plans may permit the purchase of the contracts to provide benefits under the
plan. Contributions to the plan for the benefit of employees will not be
includible in the gross income of the employee until distributed from the plan
if certain conditions are met. The tax consequences to owners may vary depending
upon the particular plan design. However, the Code places limitations on all
plans on such items as amount of allowable contributions; form, manner and
timing of distributions; investing and non-forfeitability of interests;
nondiscrimination in eligibility and participation; and the tax treatment of
distributions, withdrawals and surrenders. Purchasers of contracts for use with
pension or profit sharing plans should obtain competent tax advice as to the tax
treatment and suitability of such an investment.
(f) Deferred Compensation Plans -- Section 457(b)
Under Section 457(b) of the Code, governmental and certain other tax-exempt
employers may establish, for the benefit of their employees, deferred
compensation plans, which may invest in annuity contracts. The Code, as in the
case of employer sponsored retirement plans generally establishes limitations
and restrictions on eligibility, contributions and distributions. Under these
plans, contributions made for the benefit of the employees will not be
includible in the employees' gross income until distributed from, or in some
cases made available under the plan. Funds in a non-governmental 457(b) plan
remain assets of the employer and are subject to claims by the creditors of the
employer. All 457(b) plans of state and local governments
must hold assets and income in a qualifying trust, custodial account, or annuity
contract for the exclusive benefit of participants and their Beneficiaries.

ANNUAL REPORT
December 31, 2014
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors of American General Life Insurance Company and the
Contractholders of its separate account, Variance Annuity Account Seven:
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities,
including the schedules of portfolio investments, and the related statements of
operations and of changes in net assets present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of each of the Variable Accounts constituting
Variance Annuity Account Seven (the "Separate Account"), a separate account of
American General Insurance Company, at December 31, 2014, the results of their
operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of
the two years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Separate Account's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance
with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United
States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management,
and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2014 by
correspondence with the fund companies and transfer agents, provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

VARIABLE ANNUITY ACCOUNT SEVEN
OF
AMERICAN GENERAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. ORGANIZATION
Variable Annuity Account Seven of American General Life Insurance Company
(the "Separate Account") is an investment account of American General Life
Insurance Company (the "Company"). The Company is a direct wholly owned
subsidiary of AGC Life Insurance Company ("AGC"), a wholly owned, indirect
subsidiary of American International Group, Inc. ("AIG"). AIG is a holding
company, which through its subsidiaries is engaged in a broad range of
insurance and insurance-related activities, financial services, retirement
savings, and asset management. The Separate Account is registered as a unit
investment trust pursuant to the provisions of the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended.
On December 31, 2012, SunAmerica Annuity and Life Assurance Company merged
into the Company. As a result of the merger, the Company became the
depositor of the Separate Account. The Company is now responsible for all
annuity and life insurance contracts funded through the Separate Account.
The rights of the contract owners were not affected by the merger.
The Separate Account offers the following variable annuity products: Polaris
Plus, Polaris II Asset Manager, Polaris II A-Class, Polaris II A-Class
Platinum Series, and Polaris Platinum O-Series.
The Separate Account contracts are sold through the Company's affiliated
broker-dealers, independent broker-dealers, full-service securities firms,
and financial institutions. The distributor of these contracts is AIG
Capital Services, Inc., a wholly owned, indirect subsidiary of the Company.
No underwriting fees are paid in connection with the distribution of the
contracts.
The Separate Account is composed of a total of 80 variable portfolios of
different classes (the "Variable Accounts"). Each of the Variable Accounts
is invested solely in the shares of one of the following: (1) the nine
currently available Class 1 and Class 3 investment portfolios of the Anchor
Series Trust (the "Anchor Trust"), (2) the fifty eight currently available
Class 1 and Class 3 investment portfolios of the SunAmerica Series Trust
(the "SunAmerica Trust"), (3) the three currently available Series II
investment portfolios of the Invesco Variable Insurance Funds (the "Invesco
Funds"), (4) the two currently available Class VC investment portfolios of
the Lord Abbett Series Fund, Inc. (the "Lord Abbett Fund"), (5) the four
currently available Class 2 investment portfolios of the American Fund
Insurance Series (the "American Series"), (6) the two currently available
Class 2 investment portfolios of the Franklin Templeton Variable Insurance
Products Trust (the "Franklin Trust"), or (7) the one currently available
Class 3 investment portfolio of the Seasons Series Trust (the "Seasons
Trust"). The primary difference between the classes of the Variable Accounts
is that the Class 2 shares in the American Series, the Series II shares in
the Invesco Funds, the Class 2 shares in the Franklin Trust and the Class 3
shares in the Anchor Trust, the SunAmerica Trust, and the Seasons Trust are
subject to 12b-1 fees of 0.25%, of each classes' average daily net assets,
while the
17
VARIABLE ANNUITY ACCOUNT SEVEN
OF
AMERICAN GENERAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. ORGANIZATION (continued)
Class 1 shares are not subject to 12b-1 fees. The Class VC Shares of the
Lord Abbett Fund are not subject to 12b-1 fees. The Anchor Trust, the
SunAmerica Trust, the Invesco Funds, the Lord Abbett Fund are not subject to
12b-1 fees. The Anchor Trust, the SunAmerica Trust, the Invesco Funds, the
Lord Abbett Fund, the Franklin Trust, the American Series, and the Seasons
Trust (collectively referred to as the "Trusts") are diversified, open-ended
investment companies, which retain investment advisers to assist in their
investment activities. The Anchor Trust, the SunAmerica Trust, and the
Seasons Trust are affiliated investment companies. The contract holder may
elect to have payments allocated to the guaranteed-interest funds of the
Company (the "General Account"), which are not a part of the Separate
Account. The financial statements include balances allocated by the
participants to the Variable Accounts and do not include balances allocated
to the General Account.
The assets of the Account are segregated from the Company's other assets.
The operations of the Account are part of the Company.
Net purchases from the contracts are allocated to the Sub-accounts and
invested in the Funds in accordance with contract owner instructions. The
purchases are recorded as principal transactions in the Statements of
Changes in Net Assets.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The financial statements of the Separate Account have been prepared in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America. The following is a summary of significant accounting
policies consistently followed by the Separate Account in the preparation of
its financial statements.
INVESTMENT ACCOUNTING AND VALUATION: The investments are stated at the net
asset value of each of the portfolios of the Trusts as determined at the
close of the business day. Purchases and sales of shares of the portfolios
are valued at the net asset values of such portfolios, which value their
investment securities at fair value, on the date the shares are purchased or
sold. Dividends and capital gains distributions are recorded on the
ex-distribution date. Realized gains and losses on the sale of investments
in the Trusts are recognized at the date of sale and are determined on a
first-in, first-out basis.
ACCUMULATION UNIT: This is a measuring unit used to calculate the contract
owner's interest. Such units are valued on each day that the New York Stock
Exchange ("NYSE") is open for business to reflect investment performance and
the prorated daily deduction for mortality and expense risk charges.
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: The Company qualifies for federal income tax treatment
granted to life insurance companies under subchapter L of the Internal
Revenue Service Code (the "Code"). The operations of the Separate Account
are part of the total
18
VARIABLE ANNUITY ACCOUNT SEVEN
OF
AMERICAN GENERAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
operations of the Company and are not taxed separately. Under the current
provisions of the Code, the Company does not expect to incur federal income
taxes on the earnings of the Separate Account to the extent that the
earnings are credited under the contracts. Based on this, no charge is being
made currently to the Separate Account for federal income taxes. The
Separate Account is not treated as a regulated investment company under the
Code.
USE OF ESTIMATES: The preparation of financial statements in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts
reported therein. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
RESERVES FOR CONTRACTS IN PAYOUT (ANNUITIZATION) PERIOD: Net assets
allocated to contracts in the payout period are based on the Annuity 2000
Mortality Table depending on the calendar year of annuitization as well as
other assumptions, including provisions for the risk of adverse deviation
from assumptions. An assumed interest rate of 3.5% is used in determining
annuity payments for all products.
At each reporting period, the assumptions must be evaluated based on current
experience, and the reserves must be adjusted accordingly. To the extent
additional reserves are established due to mortality risk experience, the
Company makes payments to the Account. If there are excess reserves
remaining at the time annuity payments cease, the assets supporting those
reserves are transferred from the Separate Account to the Company. If there
are transfers between the Company and the Separate Account they will be
disclosed as adjustments to net assets allocated to contracts in payout
period in the accompanying Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
Annuity benefit payments are recorded as cost of units redeemed in the
accompanying Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
3. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the Separate Account
Statements of Assets and Liabilities are measured and classified in a
hierarchy for disclosure purposes consisting of three "levels" based on the
observability of inputs available in the marketplace used to measure the
fair values as discussed below. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure
fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In
such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair
value measurement in its entirety falls is determined based on the lowest
level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its
entirety. The Separate Account's assessment of the significance of a
particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires
judgments. In making the assessment, the Separate Account considers factors
specific to the asset or liability.
19
VARIABLE ANNUITY ACCOUNT SEVEN
OF
AMERICAN GENERAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
3. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)
Level 1 - Fair value measurements that are quoted prices (unadjusted) in
active markets that the Separate Account has the ability to access for
identical assets or liabilities. Market price data generally is obtained
from exchange or dealer markets. The Separate Account does not adjust the
quoted price for such instruments. Assets and liabilities measured at fair
value on a recurring basis and classified as Level 1 include government and
agency securities, actively traded listed common stocks and derivative
contracts, most separate account assets, and most mutual funds.
Level 2 - Fair value measurements based on inputs other than quoted prices
included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either
directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar
assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs other than quoted
prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest
rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and
classified as Level 2 generally include certain government securities, most
investment-grade and high-yield corporate bonds, certain asset backed
securities, certain listed equities, state, municipal, and provincial
obligations, hybrid securities, and derivative contracts.
Level 3 - Fair value measurements based on valuation techniques that use
significant inputs that are unobservable. These measurements include
circumstances in which there is little, if any, market activity for the
asset or liability. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a
recurring basis and classified as Level 3 principally include certain fixed
income securities and equities.
The Separate Account assets measured at fair value as of December 31, 2014
consist of investments in trusts, which are registered and open-end mutual
funds that generally trade daily and are measured at fair value using quoted
prices in active markets for identical assets, which are classified as Level
1 as of December 31, 2014 and for the year then ended. The Separate Account
had no liabilities as of December 31, 2014. See the Schedules of Portfolio
Investments for the table presenting information about assets measured at
fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2014, and respective
hierarchy levels. As all assets are of the Separate Account are classified
as Level 1, no reconciliation of Level 3 assets and changes in unrealized
gains (losses) for Level 3 assets still held as of December 31, 2014 is
presented.
4. CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS
Charges and deductions are applied against the current value of the Separate
Account and are paid as follows:
WITHDRAWAL CHARGE: The Polaris Plus, Polaris Platinum O-Series, and Polaris
II A-Class Platinum Series contracts provide that in the event that a

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
4. CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS (continued)
all or a portion of the contract value during the surrender charge period,
withdrawal charges may be assessed on the excess of the free withdrawal
amounts as defined in the contract. The withdrawal charges are based on
tables of charges applicable to the specific contracts, with a maximum
charge of 6% for the Polaris Plus and Polaris Platinum O-Series products and
0.50% for the Polaris II A-Class Platinum Series product, of any amount
withdrawn that exceed the free withdrawal amount and are recorded as cost of
units redeemed in the accompanying Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
There are no withdrawal charges under the Polaris II Asset Manager and
Polaris II A-Class contracts.
CONTRACT MAINTENANCE CHARGE: An annual contract maintenance charge ranging
from $35 to $50 is charged against certain contracts, which reimburses the
Company for expenses incurred in establishing and maintaining records
relating to the contract. The contract maintenance charge is assessed on
each anniversary during the accumulation phase. In the event that a total
surrender of contract value is made, the entire charge is assessed as of the
date of surrender, and deducted from that withdrawal. The contract
maintenance charge is recorded as a charge in the Statements of Changes in
Net Assets. There are no contract maintenance charges under the Polaris
Plus, Polaris II Asset Manager, and Polaris II A-Class contracts.
SEPARATE ACCOUNT ANNUAL CHARGE: The Company deducts a separate account
annual charge comprised of mortality and expense risk charges and
distribution expense charges, computed on a daily basis. Separate Account
annual charges are recorded as a charge in the Statements of Operations. The
total annual rates of the net asset value of each portfolio, depending on
any death benefits elected for each product, are as follows: Polaris Plus,
0.85% or 1.25%, Polaris II Asset Manager, Polaris II A-Class, and Polaris II
A-Class Platinum Series, 0.85% or 1.10%, and Polaris Platinum O-Series,
0.95% or 1.20%. The mortality risk charge is compensation for the mortality
risks assumed by the Company from its contractual obligations to make
annuity payments after the contract has annuitized for the life of the
annuitant and to provide the standard death benefit. The expense risk charge
is compensation for assuming the risk that the current contract
administration charges will be insufficient in the future to cover the cost
of administering the contract. The distribution expense is deducted at an
annual rate of 0.15% of the net asset value of each portfolio and is
included in the respective separate account annual charge rate. It is for
all expenses associated with the distribution of the contract. If this
charge is not sufficient to cover the cost of distributing the contract, the
Company will bear the loss.
TRANSFER FEE: A transfer fee of $25 ($10 in Pennsylvania and Texas),
depending on the contract provisions, may be assessed on each transfer of
funds in excess of the maximum transactions allowed within a contract year
and is recorded as cost of units redeemed in the accompanying Statements of
Changes in Net Assets. There are no transfer fees under the Polaris Plus
contracts.

first ten contract years, adjusted for withdrawals.
The MarketLock for Life Plus and MarketLock Income Plus features are offered
in Polaris II A-Class Platinum Series. The annual fee ranges from 0.70% to

person and 1.10% to 1.35% for two covered persons for MarketLock Income
Plus, of the income base, deducted quarterly from the contract value and

Assets. The income base for MarketLock for Life Plus and MarketLock Income
Plus is calculated as the greater of purchase payments made in the first
contract year and purchase payments made in contract years 2-5, capped at
100% of purchase payments made in the first year plush a bonus, if eligible,
or the highest anniversary date contract value less purchase payments in
years 2-5 over the first year purchase payments.

SUNAMERICA INCOME PLUS FEE: The optional SunAmerica Income Plus feature
provides a guaranteed withdrawal steam by locking in market gains during an
applicable evaluation period. The SunAmerica Income Plus feature is offered
in Polaris Platinum O-Series. The annual fee ranges from 0.60% to 2.20% for
one covered person and 0.60% to 2.70% for two covered persons, of the
maximum anniversary value benefit base, deducted quarterly from the contract
value and recorded as cost of units redeemed in the accompanying Statements
of Changes in Net Assets. The fee may change after the first year based on
an index of market volatility. The maximum anniversary value benefit base is
calculated as the greater of eligible purchase payments received during the
first five years, adjusted for withdrawals plus a credit, if eligible, or
the maximum anniversary date contract value.
SALES CHARGE: For the Polaris II A-Class and the Polaris II A-Class Platinum
Series products, an up-front sales charge may be applied against the gross
purchase payments made on the contract. The sales charge ranges from 0.50%
to 5.75% of the gross purchase payment invested, depending on the investment
amount and is paid to the Company. The net proceeds from units sold are
recorded in the accompanying Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
PREMIUM BASED CHARGE: For the Polaris Platinum O-Series product, an up-front
sales charge is applied against the gross purchase payments made on the
contract. The sales charge ranges from 1.25% to 5.00% of the gross purchase
payment invested, depending on the investment amount and the year of receipt
and is paid to the Company. The charge is deducted from the contract value
on a quarterly basis over a period of 7 years and is recorded as cost of
units redeemed in the accompanying Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
PREMIUM TAXES: Certain states charge the Company a premium tax on purchase
payments up to a maximum of 3.5%. Some states assess premium taxes at the
time purchase payments are made; whereas some states assess premium taxes at
the time annuity payments begin or at the time of surrender. There are
certain states that do not assess premium taxes. The Company currently
deducts premium taxes upon annuitization; however, it reserves the right to
deduct premium taxes when a purchase payment is made or upon surrender of
the contract. Premium taxes are deducted from purchases when a contract
annuitizes in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
SEPARATE ACCOUNT INCOME TAXES: The Company currently does not maintain a
provision for taxes, but has reserved the right to establish such a
provision for taxes in the future if it determines, in its sole discretion,
that it will incur a tax as a result of the operation of the Separate
Account.

(1) These amounts represent the annualized contract expenses of the variable
account, consisting of distribution, mortality and expense charges, for
each period indicated. The ratios include only those expenses that result
in a direct reduction to unit values. Charges made directly to contract
owner accounts through the redemption of units and expenses of the
underlying investment portfolios have been excluded. For additional
information on charges and deductions, see footnote 4. The minimum and
maximum ratios shown include subaccounts that may not have net assets.
(2) These amounts represent the dividends, excluding distributions of capital
gains, received by the variable account from the underlying investment
portfolio, net of management fees assessed by the portfolio manager,
divided by the average net assets. These ratios exclude those expenses,
such as mortality and expense charges, that are assessed against contract
owner accounts either through reductions in the unit values or the
redemption of units. The recognition of investment income by the variable
account is affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the
underlying investment portfolio in which the variable account invests. The
average net assets are calculated by adding ending net asset balances at
the end of each month of the year and dividing it by the number of months
that the portfolio had an ending asset balance during the year.
(3) These amounts represent the total return for the periods indicated,
including changes in the value of the underlying investment portfolio, and
expenses assessed through the reduction of unit values. These ratios do
not include any expenses assessed through the redemption of units.
Investment options with a date notation indicate the effective date of
that investment option in the variable account. The total return is
calculated for each period indicated or from the effective date through
the end of the reporting period. Because the total return is presented as
a range of minimum to maximum values, based on the product grouping
representing the minimum and maximum expense ratio amounts, some
individual contract total returns are not within the ranges presented.
(4) These amounts represent the net asset value before the adjustments
allocated to the contracts in payout period.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholder of American General Life Insurance
Company:
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related
consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income (loss), equity and cash
flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
American General Life Insurance Company and its subsidiaries (the "Company"),
an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of American International Group, Inc., at
December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the results of their operations and their cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2014 in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in
accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management,
and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

AMERICAN GENERAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
American General Life Insurance Company (AGL), including its wholly owned
subsidiaries, is a wholly owned subsidiary of AGC Life Insurance Company (AGC
Life or the Parent), which is in turn an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of
American International Group, Inc. (AIG Parent). Unless the context indicates
otherwise, the terms "AGL," "the Company," "we," "us" or "our" mean American
General Life Insurance Company and its consolidated entities, and the term "AIG
Parent" means American International Group, Inc. and not any of AIG Parent's
consolidated subsidiaries.
We are a leading provider of individual term and universal life insurance
solutions to middle-income and high net worth customers, as well as a leading
provider of fixed and variable annuities. Our primary products include term
life insurance, universal, variable universal and whole life insurance,
accident and health insurance, single- and flexible-premium deferred fixed and
variable annuities, fixed index deferred annuities, single-premium immediate
and delayed-income annuities, private placement variable annuities, structured
settlements, corporate- and bank-owned life insurance, terminal funding
annuities, guaranteed investment contracts (GICs) and funding agreements,
stable value wrap products and group benefits. We distribute our products
through independent marketing organizations, independent and career insurance
agents and financial advisors, banks, broker dealers, structured settlement
brokers and benefit consultants, and direct-to-consumer through AIG Direct. We
also provide support services to certain affiliated insurance companies through
our subsidiaries, AIG Enterprise Services LLC (AIGES) and SunAmerica Asset
Management LLC (SAAMCo).
SAAMCo and its wholly owned distributor, AIG Capital Services, Inc. (AIGCS),
and its wholly owned servicing agent, SunAmerica Fund Services, Inc. (SFS),
represent our asset management operations. These companies earn fee income by
managing, distributing and administering a diversified family of mutual funds
and variable subaccounts offered within our variable annuity and variable
universal life products, and by distributing retail mutual funds and providing
professional management of individual, corporate and pension plan portfolios.
Our operations are influenced by many factors, including general economic
conditions, financial condition of AIG, monetary and fiscal policies of the
United States federal government and policies of state and other regulatory
authorities. The level of sales of our insurance and financial products is
influenced by many factors, including general market rates of interest, the
strength, weakness and volatility of equity markets and terms and conditions of
competing products. We are exposed to the risks normally associated with a
portfolio of fixed income securities, which include interest rate, option,
liquidity and credit risks. We control our exposure to these risks by, among
other things, closely monitoring and managing the duration and cash flows of
our assets and liabilities, monitoring and limiting prepayments and extension
risk in our portfolio, maintaining a large percentage of our portfolio in
highly liquid securities, engaging in a disciplined process of underwriting,
and reviewing and monitoring credit risk. We are also exposed to market risk,
policyholder behavior risk and mortality/longevity risk. Market volatility and
other equity market conditions may affect our exposure to risks related to
guaranteed death benefits and guaranteed living benefits on variable annuity
products, and may reduce fee income on variable product assets held in separate
accounts. Such guaranteed benefits are sensitive to equity and interest rate
market conditions.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). All
significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Certain prior period items have been reclassified to conform to the current
period's presentation.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, our
controlled subsidiaries (generally through a greater than 50 percent ownership
of voting rights of a voting interest entity), and variable interest entities
(VIEs) for which we are the primary beneficiary. Equity investments in entities
that we do not consolidate, including corporate entities in which we have
significant influence, and partnership and partnership-like entities in which
we have more than minor influence over operating and financial policies, are
accounted for under the equity method unless we have elected the fair value
option. Unless the context indicates otherwise, the terms "financial
statements," "Balance Sheets," "Statements of Income," "Statements of
Comprehensive Income," "Statements of Equity," "Statements of Cash Flows,"
"Notes to Financial Statements," "financial position," and "results of
operations" refer to the applicable consolidated disclosure.

AMERICAN GENERAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Presentation Changes
Policy fees related to features accounted for as embedded derivatives in
variable annuity products, including guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefits and
guaranteed minimum account value benefits, are included in the fair value
measurement of embedded derivatives. Effective December 31, 2014, we
reclassified fees related to these embedded derivatives to net realized capital
gains, with no effect to the fair value measurement of the embedded
derivatives, net income or shareholder's equity. Accordingly, a portion of
prior period policy fees have been reclassified to net realized capital gains
to conform to the current period presentation. See Note 11 for information on
variable annuity guaranteed benefit features and Note 3 for discussion of the
fair value measurement of embedded policy derivatives, including our policy on
classification of fees.
The effect of the change in presentation of these policy fees on the prior
period financial statements was as follows:

In 2014, we recorded out of period adjustments to correct errors related to
prior periods, which resulted in a $20 million decrease to pre-tax income and
an $8 million decrease to net income and comprehensive income. The most
significant pre-tax item was to reverse interest that had incorrectly been
accrued in prior years on mortgage loans that are troubled debt restructurings.
In 2013, we recorded out of period adjustments to correct errors related to
prior periods, which resulted in a $63 million decrease to pre-tax income and a
$167 million increase to net income and comprehensive income. In 2012, we
recorded out of period adjustments which decreased pre-tax income by $109
million and decreased net income and comprehensive income by $83 million. We
have evaluated the effect of the errors on prior years and on the respective
years in which they were corrected, taking into account both qualitative and
quantitative factors. Management believes these errors and their corrections
are not material to any previously issued financial statements.
Revision of Prior Period Financial Statements
The Balance Sheet at December 31, 2013 and the Statements of Cash Flows for the
years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 have been revised to correct the
classification of certain items that had been reported in cash and short-term
investments. These revisions had no impact on total assets, total liabilities
or shareholder's equity in the prior periods that were revised. We evaluated
the impact of these items on the respective balance sheet line items and on the
categories within the statement of cash flows. The reclassifications included:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
. Correction of the classification of cash held within consolidated VIEs
from cash to restricted cash, which is reported within other assets;
. Correction of the classification of certain collateral margin accounts
related to derivative transactions from short-term investments to
premiums and other receivables; and
. Correction of the classification of certain accounts between cash and
short-term investments to correctly reflect the nature of the related
account as either a non-interest bearing depository account or an
interest-bearing account.
After evaluating the quantitative and qualitative aspects of these corrections,
the revisions were not considered to be material, individually or in aggregate,
to the previously issued 2013 and 2012 financial statements. The net effects on
the financial statements resulting from these revisions were as follows:

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires the
application of accounting policies that often involve a significant degree of
judgment. Accounting policies that we believe are most dependent on the
application of estimates and assumptions are considered our critical accounting
estimates and are related to the determination of:
.. income tax assets and liabilities, including recoverability of our net
deferred tax asset and the predictability of future tax operating
profitability of the character necessary to realize the net deferred tax
asset;
.. valuation of future policy benefit liabilities and timing and extent of
loss recognition;
.. valuation of liabilities for guaranteed benefit features of variable
annuity products;
.. recoverability of assets, including deferred policy acquisition costs (DAC)
and reinsurance;
.. estimated gross profits (EGP) to value DAC for investment-oriented products;
.. impairment charges, including other-than-temporary impairments on available
for sale securities; and
10
AMERICAN GENERAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
.. fair value measurements of certain financial assets and liabilities.
These accounting estimates require the use of assumptions about matters, some
of which are highly uncertain at the time of estimation. To the extent actual
experience differs from the assumptions used, our financial condition, results
of operations and cash flows could be materially affected.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Note 16. Income Taxes
Other significant accounting policies
Premiums for long-duration life insurance products and life contingent
annuities are recognized as revenues when due. Estimates for premiums due but
not yet collected are accrued. For limited-payment contracts, net premiums are
recorded as revenue. The difference between the gross premium received and the
net premium is deferred and recognized in policyholder benefits in the
Statements of Income.
Premiums on accident and health policies are earned primarily on a pro rata
basis over the term of the related coverage. The reserves for unearned premiums
includes the portion of premiums written relating to the unexpired terms of
coverage.
Reinsurance premiums ceded are recognized as a reduction in revenues over the
period the reinsurance coverage is provided in proportion to the risks to which
the premiums relate.
11
AMERICAN GENERAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Policy fees represent fees recognized from universal life and investment-type
products consisting of policy charges for cost of insurance, policy
administration charges, surrender charges and amortization of unearned revenue
reserves.
Other income primarily includes advisory fees and commissions from the broker
dealer business and income from legal settlements. Aircraft leasing revenue
from flight equipment under operating lease was recognized over the life of the
leases as rental payments became receivable under the provision of the lease
or, in case of leases with varying payments, under the straight-line method
over the non-cancelable terms of the lease. In certain cases, leases provided
for certain payments contingent on usage. In those cases, rental revenue was
recognized at the time such usage occurred, net of estimated contractual
aircraft maintenance reimbursements. Gains on sales of flight equipment were
recognized when flight equipment was sold and the risk of ownership of the
equipment passed to the new owner.
Cash represents cash on hand and non-interest bearing demand deposits.
Other assets consist of prepaid expenses, deposits, other deferred charges,
real estate, other fixed assets, capitalized software costs and restricted cash.
We offer sales inducements, which include enhanced crediting rates or bonus
payments to contract holders (bonus interest) on certain annuity and investment
contract products. Sales inducements provided to the contract holder are
recognized as part of the liability for policyholder contract deposits on the
Balance Sheets. Such amounts are deferred and amortized over the life of the
contract using the same methodology and assumptions used to amortize DAC. To
qualify for such accounting treatment, the bonus interest must be explicitly
identified in the contract at inception, and we must demonstrate that such
amounts are incremental to amounts we credit on similar contracts without bonus
interest, and are higher than the contracts expected ongoing crediting rates
for periods after the bonus period. The amortization expense associated with
these assets is reported within interest credited to policyholder account
balances in the Statements of Income.
See Note 8 for additional information on deferred sales inducements.
Separate accounts represent funds for which investment income and investment
gains and losses accrue directly to the contract holders who bear the
investment risk. Each account has specific investment objectives and the assets
are carried at fair value. The assets of each account are legally segregated
and are not subject to claims that arise from any of our other businesses. The
liabilities for these accounts are equal to the account assets. Separate
accounts may also include deposits for funds held under stable value wrap
funding agreements, although the majority of stable value wrap sales are
measured based on the notional amount included in assets under management and
do not include the receipt of funds.
For additional discussion of separate accounts, see Note 11.
Other liabilities include other funds on deposit, other payables, and
securities sold under agreements to repurchase.
Accounting Standards Adopted During 2014
Presentation of Unrecognized Tax Benefits
In July 2013, the FASB issued an accounting standard that requires a liability
related to unrecognized tax benefits to be presented as a reduction to the
related deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward or a tax
credit carryforward. When the carryforwards are not available at the reporting
date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction or the tax law of the
applicable jurisdiction does not require, and the entity does not intend to
use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit will
be presented in the financial statements as a liability and will not be
combined with the related deferred tax asset.
We adopted the standard on its required effective date of January 1, 2014 on a
prospective basis. The adoption of this standard had no material effect on our
consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
12
AMERICAN GENERAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Future Application of Accounting Standards
Accounting for Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects
In January 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standard that revises the
accounting and expands the disclosure requirements for investments in qualified
affordable housing projects. The standard is effective for annual periods
beginning after December 15, 2014, but early adoption is permitted. We plan to
adopt the standard prospectively on its required effective date of January 1,
2015 and do not expect adoption of the standard to have a material effect on
our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Revenue Recognition
In May 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standard that supersedes most
existing revenue recognition guidance. The new standard excludes from its scope
the accounting for insurance contracts, leases, financial instruments, and
other agreements that are governed under other GAAP guidance, but affects the
revenue recognition for certain of our other activities.
The standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning
after December 15, 2016 and may be applied retrospectively or through a
cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings at the date of adoption.
Early adoption is not permitted. We plan to adopt the standard with an
effective date of January 1, 2018, which reflects proposed one-year deferral by
the FASB and are assessing the impact of the standard on our financial
condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Measuring the Financial Assets and the Financial Liabilities of a Consolidated
Collateralized Financing Entity
In August 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standard that allows a reporting
entity to measure the financial assets and financial liabilities of a
qualifying consolidated collateralized financing entity using the fair value of
either its financial assets or financial liabilities, whichever is more
observable.
The standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning
after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The standard may be
applied retrospectively to all relevant prior periods presented starting with
January 1, 2010 or through a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings
at the date of adoption. We plan to adopt the standard on its required
effective date of January 1, 2016 and do not expect the adoption of the
standard to have a material effect on our financial condition, results of
operations or cash flows.
Consolidation: Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis
In February 2015, the FASB issued an accounting standard that affects reporting
entities that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain
legal entities. Specifically, the amendments modify the evaluation of whether
limited partnerships and similar legal entities are VIEs or voting interest
entities; eliminate the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a
limited partnership; affect the consolidation analysis of reporting entities
that are involved with VIEs, particularly those that have fee arrangements and
related party relationships; and provide a scope exception from consolidation
guidance for reporting entities with interests in legal entities that are
required to comply with or operate in accordance with requirements that are
similar to those in Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 for
registered money market funds.
The standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning
after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an
interim period. The standard may be applied retrospectively or through a
cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the
year of adoption. We plan to adopt the standard on its required effective date
of January 1, 2016 and are assessing the impact of the standard on our
financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

3. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair Value Measurements on a Recurring Basis
We carry certain financial instruments at fair value. We define the fair value
of a financial instrument as the amount that would be received from the sale of
an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between
market participants at the measurement date. We are responsible for the
determination of the value of the investments carried at fair value and the
supporting methodologies and assumptions.
The degree of judgment used in measuring the fair value of financial
instruments generally inversely correlates with the level of observable
valuation inputs. We maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use
of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Financial instruments with
quoted prices in active markets generally have more pricing observability and
less judgment is used in measuring fair value. Conversely, financial
instruments for which no quoted prices are available have less observability
and are measured at fair value using valuation models or other pricing
techniques that require more judgment. Pricing observability is affected by a
number of factors, including the type of financial instrument, whether the
financial instrument is new to the market and not yet established, the
characteristics specific to the transaction, liquidity and general market
conditions.
Fair Value Hierarchy
Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the Balance Sheets are
measured and classified in accordance with a fair value hierarchy consisting of
three levels based on the observability of valuation inputs:
.. Level 1: Fair value measurements based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in
active markets that we have the ability to access for identical assets or
liabilities. Market price data generally is obtained from exchange or
dealer markets. We do not adjust the quoted price for such instruments.
.. Level 2: Fair value measurements based on inputs other than quoted prices
included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either
directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar
assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or
similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs
other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability,
such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly
quoted intervals.
.. Level 3: Fair value measurements based on valuation techniques that use
significant inputs that are unobservable. Both observable and unobservable
inputs may be used to determine the fair values of positions classified in
Level 3. The circumstances for using these measurements include those in
which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.
Therefore, we must make certain assumptions as to the inputs a hypothetical
market participant would use to value that asset or liability. In certain
cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels
of the fair value hierarchy. In those cases, the level in the fair value
hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls is
determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair
value measurement in its entirety.
The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for
instruments carried at fair value. These methodologies are applied to assets
and liabilities across the levels discussed above, and it is the observability
of the inputs used that determines the appropriate level in the fair value
hierarchy for the respective asset or liability.
Valuation Methodologies of Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value
Incorporation of Credit Risk in Fair Value Measurements
.. Our Own Credit Risk. Fair value measurements for certain freestanding
derivatives incorporate our own credit risk by determining the explicit
cost for each counterparty to protect against its net credit exposure to us
at the balance sheet date by reference to observable AIG credit default
swap (CDS) or cash bond spreads. A derivative counterparty's net credit
exposure to us is determined based on master netting agreements, when
applicable, which
14
AMERICAN GENERAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
take into consideration all derivative positions with us, as well as
collateral we posted with the counterparty at the balance sheet date. We
calculate the effect of these credit spread changes using discounted cash
flow techniques that incorporate current market interest rates.
.. Counterparty Credit Risk. Fair value measurements for freestanding
derivatives incorporate counterparty credit risk by determining the
explicit cost for us to protect against our net credit exposure to each
counterparty at the balance sheet date by reference to observable
counterparty CDS spreads, when available. When not available, other
directly or indirectly observable credit spreads will be used to derive the
best estimates of the counterparty spreads. Our net credit exposure to a
counterparty is determined based on master netting agreements, which take
into consideration all derivative positions with the counterparty, as well
as collateral posted by the counterparty at the balance sheet date.
Fair values for fixed maturity securities based on observable market prices for
identical or similar instruments implicitly incorporate counterparty credit
risk. Fair values for fixed maturity securities based on internal models
incorporate counterparty credit risk by using discount rates that take into
consideration cash issuance spreads for similar instruments or other observable
information.
The cost of credit protection is determined under a discounted present value
approach considering the market levels for single name CDS spreads for each
specific counterparty, the mid-market value of the net exposure (reflecting the
amount of protection required) and the weighted average life of the net
exposure. CDS spreads are provided to us by an independent third party. We
utilize an interest rate based on the benchmark London Inter-Bank Offered Rate
(LIBOR) curve to derive our discount rates.
While this approach does not explicitly consider all potential future behavior
of the derivative transactions or potential future changes in valuation inputs,
management believes this approach provides a reasonable estimate of the fair
value of the assets and liabilities, including consideration of the impact of
non-performance risk.
Fixed Maturity Securities
Whenever available, we obtain quoted prices in active markets for identical
assets at the balance sheet date to measure fixed maturity securities at fair
value. Market price data is generally obtained from dealer markets.
We employ independent third-party valuation service providers to gather,
analyze, and interpret market information to derive fair value estimates for
individual investments based upon market-accepted methodologies and
assumptions. The methodologies used by these independent third-party valuation
services are reviewed and understood by management, through periodic discussion
with, and information provided by, the valuation services. In addition, as
discussed further below, control processes are applied to the fair values
received from third-party valuation services to ensure the accuracy of these
values.
Valuation service providers typically obtain data about market transactions and
other key valuation model inputs from multiple sources and, through the use of
widely accepted valuation methodologies, which may utilize matrix pricing,
financial models, accompanying model inputs and various assumptions, provide a
single fair value measurement for individual securities. The inputs used by the
valuation service providers include, but are not limited to, market prices from
completed transactions for identical securities and transactions of comparable
securities, benchmark yields, interest rate yield curves, credit spreads,
currency rates, quoted prices for similar securities and other market-
observable information, as applicable. If fair value is determined using
financial models, these models generally take into account, among other things,
market observable information as of the measurement date as well as the
specific attributes of the security being valued, including its term, interest
rate, credit rating, industry sector, and when applicable, collateral quality
and other security or issuer-specific information. When market transactions or
other market observable data is limited, the extent to which judgment is
applied in determining fair value is greatly increased.
We have control processes designed to ensure that the fair values received from
third party valuation services are accurately recorded, that their data inputs
and valuation techniques are appropriate and consistently applied and that the
assumptions used appear reasonable and consistent with the objective of
determining fair value. We assess the reasonableness of individual security
values received from valuation service providers through various analytical
techniques, and have procedures to escalate related questions internally and to
the third party valuation services for
15
AMERICAN GENERAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
resolution. To assess the degree of pricing consensus among various valuation
services for specific asset types, we have conducted comparisons of prices
received from available sources. We have used these comparisons to establish a
hierarchy for the fair values received from third party valuations services to
be used for particular security classes. We also validate prices for selected
securities through reviews by members of management who have relevant expertise
and who are independent of those charged with executing investing transactions.
When our third-party valuation service providers are unable to obtain
sufficient market observable information upon which to estimate the fair value
for a particular security, fair value is determined either by requesting
brokers who are knowledgeable about these securities to provide a price quote,
which is generally non-binding, or by employing widely accepted valuation
models. Broker prices may be based on an income approach, which converts
expected future cash flows to a single present value amount, with specific
consideration of inputs relevant to particular security types. For structured
securities, such inputs may include ratings, collateral types, geographic
concentrations, underlying loan vintages, loan delinquencies, and weighted
average coupons and maturities. When the volume or level of market activity for
a security is limited, certain inputs used to determine fair value may not be
observable in the market. Broker prices may also be based on a market approach
that considers recent transactions involving identical or similar securities.
Fair values provided by brokers are subject to similar control processes to
those noted above for fair values from third party valuation services,
including management reviews. For those corporate debt instruments (for
example, private placements) that are not traded in active markets or that are
subject to transfer restrictions, valuations are adjusted to reflect
illiquidity and non-transferability, and such adjustments generally are based
on available market evidence. When observable price quotations are not
available, fair value is determined based on discounted cash flow models using
discount rates based on credit spreads, yields or price levels of comparable
securities, adjusted for illiquidity and structure. Fair values determined
internally are also subject to management review in order to ensure that
valuation models and related inputs are reasonable.
The methodology above is relevant for all fixed maturity securities including
residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS), commercial mortgage-backed
securities (CMBS), collateralized debt obligations (CDO), other asset-backed
securities (ABS) and fixed maturity securities issued by government sponsored
entities and corporate entities.
Equity Securities Traded in Active Markets
Whenever available, we obtain quoted prices in active markets for identical
assets at the balance sheet date to measure equity securities at fair value.
Market price data is generally obtained from exchange or dealer markets.
Other Invested Assets
We initially estimate the fair value of investments in certain hedge funds,
private equity funds and other investment partnerships by reference to the
transaction price. Subsequently, we generally obtain the fair value of these
investments from net asset value information provided by the general partner or
manager of the investments, the financial statements of which are generally
audited annually. We consider observable market data and perform certain
control procedures to validate the appropriateness of using the net asset value
as a fair value measurement. The fair values of other investments carried at
fair value, such as direct private equity holdings, are initially determined
based on transaction price and are subsequently estimated based on available
evidence such as market transactions in similar instruments, other financing
transactions of the issuer and other available financial information for the
issuer, with adjustments made to reflect illiquidity as appropriate.
Short-term Investments
For short-term investments that are measured at fair value, the carrying values
of these assets approximate fair values because of the relatively short period
of time between origination and expected realization, and their limited
exposure to credit risk.
16
AMERICAN GENERAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Separate Account Assets
Separate account assets are composed primarily of registered and unregistered
open-end mutual funds that generally trade daily and are measured at fair value
in the manner discussed above for equity securities traded in active markets.
Freestanding Derivatives
Derivative assets and liabilities can be exchange-traded or traded
over-the-counter (OTC). We generally value exchange-traded derivatives using
quoted prices in active markets for identical derivatives at the balance sheet
date.
OTC derivatives are valued using market transactions and other observable
market evidence whenever possible, including market-based inputs to models,
model calibration to market clearing transactions, broker or dealer quotations
or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency.
When models are used, the selection of a particular model to value an OTC
derivative depends on the contractual terms of, and specific risks inherent in
the instrument, as well as the availability of pricing information in the
market. We generally use similar models to value similar instruments. Valuation
models require a variety of inputs, including contractual terms, market prices
and rates, yield curves, credit curves, measures of volatility, prepayment
rates and correlations of such inputs. For OTC derivatives that trade in liquid
markets, such as generic forwards, swaps and options, model inputs can
generally be corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other
means, and model selection does not involve significant management judgment.
For certain OTC derivatives that trade in less liquid markets, where we
generally do not have corroborating market evidence to support significant
model inputs and cannot verify the model to market transactions, the
transaction price may provide the best estimate of fair value. Accordingly,
when a pricing model is used to value such an instrument, the model is adjusted
so the model value at inception equals the transaction price. We will update
valuation inputs in these models only when corroborated by evidence such as
similar market transactions, independent third-party valuation service
providers and/or broker or dealer quotations, or other empirical market data.
When appropriate, valuations are adjusted for various factors such as
liquidity, bid/offer spreads and credit considerations. Such adjustments are
generally based on available market evidence. In the absence of such evidence,
management's best estimate is used.
Embedded Policy Derivatives
Certain variable annuity and equity index annuity and life contracts contain
embedded policy derivatives that we bifurcate from the host contracts and
account for separately at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in
earnings. These embedded derivatives are classified within policyholder
contract deposits. We have concluded these contracts contain (i) written option
guarantees on minimum accumulation value, (ii) a series of written options that
guarantee withdrawals from the highest anniversary value within a specific
period or for life, or (iii) equity-indexed written options that meet the
criteria of derivatives that must be bifurcated.
The fair value of embedded policy derivatives contained in certain variable
annuity and equity index annuity and life contracts is measured based on
actuarial and capital market assumptions related to projected cash flows over
the expected lives of the contracts. These cash flow estimates primarily
include benefits and related fees assessed, when applicable, and incorporate
expectations about policyholder behavior. Estimates of future policyholder
behavior are subjective and based primarily on our historical experience.
With respect to embedded policy derivatives in our variable annuity contracts,
because of the dynamic and complex nature of the expected cash flows,
risk-neutral valuations are used. Estimating the underlying cash flows for
these products involves judgments regarding expected market rates of return,
market volatility, correlations of market variables to funds, fund performance,
discount rates and policyholder behavior. The portion of fees attributable to
the fair value of expected benefit payments are included within the fair value
measurement of these embedded policy derivatives and related fees are
classified in net realized gains (losses) as collected, consistent with other
changes in the fair value of these embedded policy derivatives. Any additional
fees not attributed to the embedded derivative are excluded from the fair value
measurement and classified in policy fees as collected.
17
AMERICAN GENERAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
With respect to embedded policy derivatives in our equity index annuity and
life contracts, option pricing models are used to estimate fair value, taking
into account assumptions for future equity index growth rates, volatility of
the equity index, future interest rates, and determinations on adjusting the
participation rate and the cap on equity-indexed credited rates in light of
market conditions and policyholder behavior assumptions. These methodologies
incorporate an explicit risk margin to take into consideration market
participant estimates of projected cash flows and policyholder behavior.
We also incorporate our own risk of non-performance in the valuation of the
embedded policy derivatives associated with variable annuity and equity index
annuity and life contracts. Expected cash flows are discounted using the
interest rate swap curve (swap curve), which is commonly viewed as being
consistent with the credit spreads for highly-rated financial institutions (S&P
AA-rated or above). A swap curve shows the fixed-rate leg of a non-complex swap
against the floating rate (for example, LIBOR) leg of a related tenor. The
non-performance risk adjustment reflects a market participant's view of our
claims-paying ability by incorporating an additional spread to the swap curve
used to value embedded policy derivatives.
Notes Payable
Certain VIEs that we consolidate have each elected the fair value option for a
tranche of their structured securities (the Class X notes), which are included
in notes payable - to affiliates, net. The fair value of the Class X notes is
determined using a mark-to-model approach, discounting cash flows produced by
an internally validated model. Cash flows are discounted based on current
market spreads for U.S. collateralized loan obligations (CLOs), adjusted for
structural specific attributes. The market spreads for U.S. CLOs include a
spread premium to compensate for the complexity and perceived illiquidity of
the Class X notes. The spread premium was derived on the respective issuance
dates of the Class X notes, with reference to the issuance spread on tranches
of structured securities issued by the same entities that were purchased by
independent, non-affiliated third parties.

Transfers of Level 1 and Level 2 Assets and Liabilities
Our policy is to record transfers of assets and liabilities between Level 1 and
Level 2 at their fair values as of the end of each reporting period, consistent
with the date of the determination of fair value. Assets are transferred out of
Level 1 when they are no longer transacted with sufficient frequency and volume
in an active market. Conversely, assets are transferred from Level 2 to Level 1
when transaction volume and frequency are indicative of an active market. In
2014, we transferred $13 million of preferred stock from Level 2 to Level 1. In
2013, we transferred $93 million of securities issued by the U.S. government
and government-sponsored entities from Level 1 to Level 2. We had no
significant transfers from Level 1 to Level 2 during 2014 and from Level 2 to
Level 1 during 2013.

Both observable and unobservable inputs may be used to determine the fair
values of positions classified in Level 3 in the tables above. As a result, the
unrealized gains (losses) on instruments held at December 31, 2014 and 2013 may
include changes in fair value that were attributable to both observable (e.g.,
changes in market interest rates) and unobservable (e.g., changes in
unobservable long-dated volatilities) inputs.
Transfers of Level 3 Assets and Liabilities
We record transfers of assets and liabilities into or out of Level 3 at their
fair values as of the end of each reporting period, consistent with the date of
the determination of fair value.
During 2014 and 2013, transfers into Level 3 assets primarily included certain
investments in private placement corporate debt, RMBS, CMBS, CDO/ABS, and
investments in hedge funds and private equity funds.
.. The transfers of investments in RMBS, CMBS and CDO and certain ABS into
Level 3 assets were due to decreases in market transparency and liquidity
for individual security types.
.. Transfers of private placement corporate debt and certain ABS into Level 3
assets were primarily the result of limited market pricing information that
required us to determine fair value for these securities based on inputs
that are adjusted to better reflect our own assumptions regarding the
characteristics of a specific security or associated market liquidity.
.. Certain investments in hedge funds were transferred into Level 3 as a
result of limited market activity due to fund-imposed redemption
restrictions.
.. Certain private equity fund investments were transferred into Level 3 due
to these investments being carried at fair value and no longer being
accounted for using the equity method of accounting.
Assets are transferred out of Level 3 when circumstances change such that
significant inputs can be corroborated with market observable data. This may be
due to a significant increase in market activity for the asset, a specific
event, one
23
AMERICAN GENERAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
or more significant input(s) becoming observable or a long-term interest rate
significant to a valuation becoming short-term and thus observable. In
addition, transfers out of Level 3 assets also occur when investments are no
longer carried at fair value as the result of a change in the applicable
accounting methodology, given changes in the nature and extent of our ownership
interest.
During 2014 and 2013, transfers out of Level 3 assets primarily related to
certain investments in municipal securities, private placement corporate debt,
CMBS, CDO/ABS and investments in hedge funds.
.. Transfers of certain investments in municipal securities, CMBS and CDO/ABS
out of Level 3 assets were based on consideration of market liquidity as
well as related transparency of pricing and associated observable inputs
for these investments.
.. Transfers of certain investments in private placement corporate debt and
certain ABS out of Level 3 assets were primarily the result of using
observable pricing information that reflects the fair value of those
securities without the need for adjustment based on our own assumptions
regarding the characteristics of a specific security or the current
liquidity in the market.
.. The removal or easing of fund-imposed redemption restrictions, as well as
certain fund investments becoming subject to the equity method of
accounting, resulted in the transfer of certain hedge fund and private
equity investments out of Level 3 assets.
There were no significant transfers of derivative or other liabilities into or
out of Level 3 during 2014 or 2013.
Quantitative Information about Level 3 Fair Value Measurements
The table below presents information about the significant unobservable inputs
used for recurring fair value measurements for certain Level 3 instruments, and
includes only those instruments for which information about the inputs is
reasonably available to us, such as data from third-party valuation service
providers and from internal valuation models. Because input information from
third-parties with respect to certain Level 3 instruments (primarily CDO/ABS)
may not be reasonably available to us, balances shown below may not equal total
amounts reported for such Level 3 assets and liabilities:

(a)The unobservable inputs and ranges for the constant prepayment rate, loss
severity and constant default rate relate to each of the individual
underlying mortgage loans that comprise the entire portfolio of securities
in the RMBS and CDO securitization vehicles and not necessarily to the
securitization vehicle bonds (tranches) purchased by us. The ranges of these
inputs do not directly correlate to changes in the fair values of the
tranches purchased by us because there are other factors relevant to the
specific tranches owned by us including, but not limited to, purchase price,
position in the waterfall, senior versus subordinated position and
attachment points.
(b)Information received from independent third-party valuation service
providers.
The ranges of reported inputs for Corporate debt, RMBS, CMBS and CDO/ABS valued
using a discounted cash flow technique consist of plus/minus one standard
deviation in either direction from the value-weighted average. The preceding
table does not give effect to our risk management practices that might offset
risks inherent in these investments.
Sensitivity to Changes in Unobservable Inputs
We consider unobservable inputs to be those for which market data is not
available and that are developed using the best information available to us
about the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset
or liability. Relevant inputs vary depending on the nature of the instrument
being measured at fair value. The following is a general description of
sensitivities of significant unobservable inputs along with interrelationships
between and among the significant unobservable inputs and their impact on the
fair value measurements. The effect of a change in a particular assumption in
the sensitivity analysis below is considered independently of changes in any
other assumptions. In practice, simultaneous changes in assumptions may not
always have a linear effect on the inputs. Interrelationships may also exist
between observable and unobservable inputs. Such relationships have not been
included in the discussion below. For each of the individual relationships
described below, the inverse relationship would also generally apply.
Corporate Debt
Corporate debt securities included in Level 3 are primarily private placement
issuances that are not traded in active markets or that are subject to transfer
restrictions. Fair value measurements consider illiquidity and
non-transferability. When observable price quotations are not available, fair
value is determined based on discounted cash flow models using discount rates
based on credit spreads, yields or price levels of publicly-traded debt of the
issuer or other comparable securities, considering illiquidity and structure.
The significant unobservable input used in the fair value
25
AMERICAN GENERAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
measurement of corporate debt is the yield. The yield is affected by the market
movements in credit spreads and U.S. Treasury yields. In addition, the
migration in credit quality of a given security generally has a corresponding
effect on the fair value measurement of the securities. For example, a downward
migration of credit quality would increase spreads. Holding U.S. Treasury rates
constant, an increase in corporate credit spreads would decrease the fair value
of corporate debt.
RMBS and Certain CDO/ABS
The significant unobservable inputs used in fair value measurements of RMBS and
certain CDO/ABS valued by third-party valuation service providers are constant
prepayment rates (CPR), loss severity, constant default rates (CDR), and yield.
A change in the assumptions used for the probability of default will generally
be accompanied by a corresponding change in the assumption used for the loss
severity and an inverse change in the assumption used for prepayment rates. In
general, increases in CPR, loss severity, CDR, and yield, in isolation, would
result in a decrease in the fair value measurement. Changes in fair value based
on variations in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the
relationship between the directional change of each input is not usually linear.
CMBS
The significant unobservable input used in fair value measurements for CMBS is
the yield. Prepayment assumptions for each mortgage pool are factored into the
yield. CMBS generally feature a lower degree of prepayment risk than RMBS
because commercial mortgages generally contain a penalty for prepayment. In
general, increases in the yield would decrease the fair value of CMBS.
Policyholder contract deposits
Embedded policy derivatives within policyholder contract deposits relate to
guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefits (GMWB) within variable annuity products
and certain enhancements to interest crediting rates based on market indices
within equity index annuities and guaranteed investment contracts (GIC). GMWB
represents our largest exposure of these embedded policy derivatives, although
the carrying value of the liability fluctuates based on the performance of the
equity markets and therefore, at a point in time, can be low relative to the
exposure. The principal unobservable input used for GMWBs and embedded
derivatives in equity-indexed annuities measured at fair value is equity
implied volatility. For GMWBs, other significant unobservable inputs include
base and dynamic lapse rates, mortality rates, and utilization rates. Lapse,
mortality, and utilization rates may vary significantly depending upon age
groups and duration. In general, increases in volatility and utilization rates
will increase the fair value of the liability associated with GMWB, while
increases in lapse rates and mortality rates will decrease the fair value of
the liability. Significant unobservable inputs used in valuing embedded
derivatives within GICs include long-term forward interest rates and foreign
exchange rates. Generally, the embedded derivative liability for GICs will
increase as interest rates decrease or if the U.S. dollar weakens compared to
the euro.

Private equity fund investments included above are not redeemable, as
distributions from the funds will be received when underlying investments of
the funds are liquidated. Private equity funds are generally expected to have
10-year lives at their inception, but these lives may be extended at the fund
manager's discretion, typically in one or two-year increments.
The hedge fund investments included above may be redeemable monthly, quarterly,
semi-annually and annually, as shown below, with redemption notices ranging
from one day to 180 days. Certain hedge fund investments are currently not
redeemable, either in whole or in part, because such investments include
various contractual restrictions. The majority of these contractual
restrictions, which may have been put in place at a fund's inception or
thereafter, have pre-defined end dates and are generally expected to be lifted
by the end of 2015. The fund investments for which redemption is restricted
only in part generally relate to certain hedge funds that hold at least one
investment that the fund manager deems to be illiquid.

Fair Value Option
Under the fair value option, we may elect to measure at fair value financial
assets and financial liabilities that are not otherwise required to be measured
at fair value. Subsequent changes in fair value for designated items are
reported in earnings. We elect the fair value option for certain hybrid
securities given the complexity of bifurcating the economic components
associated with the embedded derivatives.
Additionally, beginning in the third quarter of 2012, we elected the fair value
option for investments in certain private equity funds, hedge funds and other
alternative investments when such investments are eligible for this election.
We believe this measurement basis is consistent with the applicable accounting
guidance used by the respective investment company funds themselves.
See Note 4 for additional information.
Certain VIEs, which are securitization vehicles that we consolidate, have
elected the fair value option for a tranche of their structured securities,
referred to herein as the Class X notes, which are included in notes
payable - to affiliates, net.
See Notes 9 and 17 for additional information on these VIEs, which are
securitization vehicles.

FAIR VALUE INFORMATION ABOUT FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS NOT MEASURED AT FAIR VALUE
Information regarding the estimation of fair value for financial instruments
not carried at fair value (excluding insurance contracts) is discussed below.
.. Mortgage and other loans receivable: Fair values of loans on real estate
and other loans receivable were estimated for disclosure purposes using
discounted cash flow calculations based on discount rates that we believe
market participants would use in determining the price that they would pay
for such assets. For certain loans, our current incremental lending rates
for similar types of loans are used as the discount rates, because we
believe this rate approximates the rates market participants would use. The
fair values of policy loans are generally estimated based on unpaid
principal amount as of each reporting date or, in some cases, based on the
present value of the loans using a discounted cash flow model. No
consideration is given to credit risk because policy loans are effectively
collateralized by the cash surrender value of the policies.
29
AMERICAN GENERAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
.. Other invested assets: The majority of other invested assets that are not
measured at fair value represent investments in hedge funds, private equity
funds and other investment partnerships for which we use the equity method
of accounting. The fair value of our investment in these funds is measured
based on our share of the funds' reported net asset value.
.. Cash and short-term investments: The carrying amounts of these assets
approximate fair values because of the relatively short period of time
between origination and expected realization, and their limited exposure to
credit risk.
.. Policyholder contract deposits associated with investment-type contracts:
Fair values for policyholder contract deposits associated with
investment-type contracts not accounted for at fair value were estimated
using discounted cash flow calculations based on interest rates currently
being offered for similar contracts with maturities consistent with those
of the contracts being valued. When no similar contracts are being offered,
the discount rate is the appropriate swap rate (if available) or current
risk-free interest rate consistent with the currency in which the cash
flows are denominated. To determine fair value, other factors include
current policyholder account values and related surrender charges and other
assumptions include expectations about policyholder behavior and an
appropriate risk margin.
.. Notes Payable: Fair values of these obligations were estimated based on
discounted cash flow calculations using a discount rate that is indicative
of the current market for securities with similar risk characteristics.
The following table presents the carrying values and estimated fair values of
our financial instruments not measured at fair value and indicates the level in
the fair value hierarchy of the estimated fair value measurement based on the

4. INVESTMENTS
Fixed Maturity and Equity Securities
Bonds held to maturity are carried at amortized cost when we have the ability
and positive intent to hold these securities until maturity. When we do not
have the ability or positive intent to hold bonds until maturity, these
securities are classified as available for sale and are measured at fair value
at our election. None of our fixed maturity securities met the criteria for
held to maturity classification at December 31, 2014 or 2013.
Fixed maturity and equity securities classified as available-for-sale are
carried at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses from available for sale
investments in fixed maturity and equity securities are reported as a separate
component of accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI), net of DAC,
deferred sales inducements and deferred income taxes, in shareholder's equity.
Realized and unrealized gains and losses from fixed maturity and equity
securities that are measured at fair value under the fair value option are
reflected in net investment income. Investments in fixed maturity and equity
securities are recorded on a trade-date basis.
Premiums and discounts arising from the purchase of bonds classified as
available for sale are treated as yield adjustments over their estimated
holding periods, until maturity, or call date, if applicable. For investments
in certain RMBS, CMBS, CDO and ABS, (collectively, structured securities),
recognized yields are updated based on current information regarding the timing
and amount of expected undiscounted future cash flows. For high credit quality
structured securities, effective yields are recalculated based on actual
payments received and updated prepayment expectations, and the amortized cost
is adjusted to the amount that would have existed had the new effective yield
been applied since acquisition with a corresponding charge or credit to net
investment income. For structured securities that are not high credit quality,
effective yields are recalculated and adjusted prospectively based on changes
in expected undiscounted future cash flows. For purchased credit impaired (PCI)
securities, at acquisition, the difference between the undiscounted expected
future cash flows and the recorded investment in the securities represents the
initial accretable yield, which is to be accreted into net investment income
over the securities' remaining lives on a level yield basis. Subsequently,
effective yields recognized on PCI securities are recalculated and adjusted
prospectively to reflect changes in the contractual benchmark interest rates on
variable rate securities and any significant increases in undiscounted expected
future cash flows arising due to reasons other than interest rate changes.
Other Bond Securities and Other Common and Preferred Stock
Securities for which we have elected the fair value option are carried at fair
value and reported in other bond securities or other common and preferred
stocks in the Balance Sheets. Changes in fair value of these assets are
reported in net investment income. Interest income and dividend income on
assets measured under the fair value option are recognized and included in net
investment income.
See Note 3 for additional information on financial assets designated under the
fair value option.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
The gross unrealized loss recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income on
such investments was $26 million and $8 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013,
respectively, the majority of which pertains to investments in private equity
funds and hedge funds that have been in continuous unrealized loss positions
for less than 12 months.
Other Invested Assets - Equity Method Investments
We account for hedge funds, private equity funds, affordable housing
partnerships and other investment partnerships using the equity method of
accounting unless AIG's interest is so minor that AIG may have virtually no
influence over partnership operating and financial policies, or we have elected
the fair value option. Under the equity method of accounting, the carrying
value generally is our share of the net asset value of the funds or the
partnerships, and changes in our share of the net asset values are recorded in
net investment income. In applying the equity method of accounting, we
consistently use the most recently available financial information provided by
the general partner or manager of each of these investments, which is one to
three months prior to the end of our reporting period. The financial statements
of these investees are generally audited annually.
Other Investments
Real estate is classified as held for investment or held for sale, based on
management's intent. Real estate held for investment is carried at cost, less
accumulated depreciation and impairment write-downs. Properties acquired
through foreclosure and held for sale are carried at the lower of carrying
amount or fair value less estimated costs to sell the property.
We are members of the FHLB of Dallas and such membership requires members to
own stock in the FHLB. Our FHLB stock is carried at amortized cost, which
approximates fair value, and is included in other invested assets.
Other invested assets also include mutual funds, which consist of seed money
for mutual funds and investments in retail mutual funds used as investment
vehicles for our variable annuity separate accounts, and are carried at market
value.
Aircraft
Aircraft owned by the Aircraft Trusts were recorded at cost (adjusted for
impairment charges), net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation was
generally computed on a straight-line to a residual value of approximately 15
percent of the cost of the asset over its estimated useful life of 25 years.
Certain major additions and modifications to aircraft may have been
capitalized. The residual value estimates were reviewed periodically to ensure
continued appropriateness. Aircraft were periodically reviewed for impairment
and impairment losses recorded when the estimate of undiscounted future cash
flows expected to be generated by the aircraft was less than its carrying
value. See Notes 9 for additional information.
Short-Term Investments
Short-term investments include interest-bearing money market funds, investment
pools, and other investments with original maturities within one year from the
date of purchase.
Net Investment Income
Net investment income represents income primarily from the following sources:
.. Interest income and related expenses, including amortization of premiums
and accretion of discounts on bonds with changes in the timing and the
amount of expected principal and interest cash flows reflected in the
yield, as applicable.
35

.. Dividend income from common and preferred stock and distributions from
other investments, including distributions from private equity funds and

.. Realized and unrealized gains and losses from investments in other
securities and investments for which we elected the fair value option.
.. Earnings from private equity funds and hedge fund investments accounted for

Evaluating Investments for Other-Than-Temporary Impairments
Fixed Maturity Securities
If we intend to sell a fixed maturity security or it is more likely than not
that we will be required to sell a fixed maturity security before recovery of
its amortized cost basis and the fair value of the security is below amortized
cost, an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred and the amortized cost is
written down to current fair value, with a corresponding charge to realized
capital losses. When assessing our intent to sell a fixed maturity security, or
whether it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell a fixed
maturity security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, management
evaluates relevant facts and circumstances including, but not limited to,
decisions to reposition our investment portfolio, sales of securities to meet
cash flow needs and sales of securities to take advantage of favorable pricing.
For fixed maturity securities for which a credit impairment has occurred, the
amortized cost is written down to the estimated recovery value with a
corresponding charge to realized capital losses. The estimated recovery value
is the present value of cash flows expected to be collected, as determined by
management. The difference between fair value and amortized cost that is not
related to a credit impairment is recognized in unrealized appreciation
(depreciation) of fixed maturity securities on which other-than-temporary
credit impairments were taken (a component of accumulated other comprehensive
income).
When estimating future cash flows for structured fixed maturity securities
(e.g., RMBS, CMBS, CDO, ABS), management considers historical performance of
underlying assets and available market information as well as bond-specific
structural considerations, such as credit enhancement and priority of payment
structure of the security. In addition, the process of estimating future cash
flows includes, but is not limited to, the following critical inputs, which
vary by asset class:
.. Current delinquency rates;
.. Expected default rates and the timing of such defaults;
.. Loss severity and the timing of any recovery; and
.. Expected prepayment speeds.
For corporate, municipal and sovereign fixed maturity securities determined to
be credit impaired, management considers the fair value as the recovery value
when available information does not indicate that another value is more
relevant or reliable. When management identifies information that supports a
recovery value other than the fair value, the determination of a recovery value
considers scenarios specific to the issuer and the security, and may be based
upon estimates of outcomes of corporate restructurings, political and
macroeconomic factors, stability and financial strength of the issuer, the
value of any secondary sources of repayment and the disposition of assets.
Management considers severe price declines in its assessment of potential
credit impairments. We may also modify model inputs when management determines
that price movements in certain sectors are indicative of factors not captured
by the cash flow models.
In periods subsequent to the recognition of an other-than-temporary impairment
charge for available for sale fixed maturity securities that is not foreign
exchange related, we prospectively accrete into earnings the difference between
the new amortized cost and the expected undiscounted recovery value over the
remaining expected holding period of the security.

* Represents both accretion recognized due to changes in cash flows expected to
be collected over the remaining expected term of the credit impaired
securities and the accretion due to the passage of time.
Equity Securities
We evaluate our available for sale equity securities, equity method and cost
method investments for impairment by considering such securities as candidates
for other-than-temporary impairment if they meet any of the following criteria:
.. The security has traded at a significant (25 percent or more) discount to
cost for an extended period of time (nine consecutive months or longer);
.. A discrete credit event has occurred resulting in (i) the issuer defaulting
on a material outstanding obligation; (ii) the issuer seeking protection
from creditors under the bankruptcy laws or any similar laws intended for
court-supervised reorganization of insolvent enterprises; or (iii) the
issuer proposing a voluntary reorganization pursuant to which creditors are
asked to exchange their claims for cash or securities having a fair value
substantially lower than par value of their claims; or
.. We have concluded that it may not realize a full recovery on its
investment, regardless of the occurrence of one of the foregoing events.
The determination that an equity security is other-than-temporarily impaired
requires the judgment of management and consideration of the fundamental
condition of the issuer, its near-term prospects and all the relevant facts and
circumstances. In addition to the above criteria, management also considers
circumstances of a rapid and severe market valuation decline (50 percent or
more discounts to cost), in which we could not reasonably assert that the
impairment period would be temporary (severity losses).
Other Invested Assets
Investments in private equity funds and hedge funds are evaluated for
impairment in a manner similar to the evaluation of equity securities for
impairments as discussed above. This evaluation considers market conditions,
events and volatility that may impact the recoverability of the underlying
investments within these private equity funds and hedge funds and is based on
the nature of the underlying investments and specific inherent risks. Such
risks may evolve based on the nature of the underlying investments.
Investments in real estate are periodically evaluated for recoverability
whenever changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may
be impaired. When impairment indicators are present, we compare expected
investment cash flows to carrying value. When the expected cash flows are less
than the carrying value, the investments are written down to fair value with a
corresponding charge to earnings.
Purchased Credit Impaired Securities
We purchase certain RMBS securities that have experienced deterioration in
credit quality since their issuance. We determined, based on our expectations
as to the timing and amount of cash flows expected to be received, that it was
38
AMERICAN GENERAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
probable at the date of acquisition that we would not collect all contractually
required payments for these PCI securities, including both principal and
interest after considering the effects of prepayments. At acquisition, the
timing and amount of the undiscounted future cash flows expected to be received
on each PCI security was determined based on our best estimate using key
assumptions, such as interest rates, default rates and prepayment speeds. At
acquisition, the difference between the undiscounted expected future cash flows
of the PCI securities and the recorded investment in the securities represents
the initial accretable yield, which is to be accreted into net investment
income over their remaining lives on a level-yield basis. Additionally, the
difference between the contractually required payments on the PCI securities
and the undiscounted expected future cash flows represents the non-accretable
difference at acquisition. The accretable yield and the non-accretable
difference will change over time, based on actual payments received and changes
in estimates of undiscounted expected future cash flows, which are discussed
further below.
On a quarterly basis, the undiscounted expected future cash flows associated
with PCI securities are re-evaluated based on updates to key assumptions.
Declines in undiscounted expected future cash flows due to further credit
deterioration as well as changes in the expected timing of the cash flows can
result in the recognition of an other-than-temporary impairment charge, as PCI
securities are subject to our policy for evaluating investments for
other-than-temporary impairment. Changes to undiscounted expected future cash
flows due solely to the changes in the contractual benchmark interest rates on
variable rate PCI securities will change the accretable yield prospectively.
Significant increases in undiscounted expected future cash flows for reasons
other than interest rate changes are recognized prospectively as an adjustment
to the accretable yield.

included in bonds available for sale:

At December 31, 2013, our secured financing transactions also included those

for cash or other liquid collateral. Securities transferred by us under these
financing transactions may be sold or repledged by the counterparties. As
collateral for the securities transferred by us, counterparties transfer assets
to us, such as cash or high quality fixed maturity securities. Collateral
levels are monitored daily and are generally maintained at an agreed-upon
percentage of the fair value of the transferred securities during the life of
the transactions. When we receive fixed maturity securities as collateral, we
do not have the right to sell or repledge this collateral unless an event of
default occurs by the counterparties. At the termination of the transactions,
we and our counterparties are obligated to return the collateral provided and
the securities transferred, respectively.

in FHLBs at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. To the extent we borrow
from an FHLB, our ownership interest in the stock of the FHLB will be pledged
to the FHLB. In addition, we have pledged securities with a fair value of $330
million and $67 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, associated
with advances from the FHLBs. The increase in pledged securities in 2014
primarily reflects securities pledged to the FHLB prior to obtaining advances,
pursuant to our plan to facilitate the ability to obtain cash advances on a
same-day basis up to an internally approved limit, to more effectively manage
short-term liquidity. As a result, we had $312 million of available FHLB
borrowing capacity at December 31, 2014.
5. LENDING ACTIVITIES
Mortgage and other loans receivable include commercial and residential
mortgages, life insurance policy loans, commercial loans, and other loans and
notes receivable. Commercial mortgages, commercial loans, and other loans and
notes receivable are carried at unpaid principal balances less credit
allowances and plus or minus adjustments for the accretion or amortization of
discount or premium. Interest income on such loans is accrued as earned.
Direct costs of originating commercial mortgages, commercial loans, and other
loans and notes receivable, net of nonrefundable points and fees, are deferred
and included in the carrying amount of the related receivables. The amount
deferred is amortized to net investment income over the life of the related
loan as an adjustment of the loan's yield using the interest method.
Life insurance policy loans are carried at unpaid principal amount. There is no
allowance for policy loans because these loans serve to reduce the death
benefit paid when the death claim is made and the balances are effectively
collateralized by the cash surrender value of the policy.

Methodology Used to Estimate the Allowance for Losses
Mortgage and other loans receivable are considered impaired when collection of
all amounts due under contractual terms is not probable. Impairment is measured
using either i) the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at
the loan's effective interest rate, ii) the loan's observable market price, if
available, or iii) the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral
dependent. Impairment of commercial mortgages is typically determined using the
fair value of collateral while impairment of other loans is typically
determined using the present value of cash flows or the loan's observable
market price. An allowance is typically established for the difference between
the impaired value of the loan and its current carrying amount. Additional
allowance amounts are established for incurred but not specifically identified
impairments, based on the analysis of internal risk ratings and current loan
values. Internal risk ratings are assigned based on the consideration of risk
factors including past due status, debt service coverage, loan-to-value ratio
or the ratio of the loan balance to the estimated value of the property,
property occupancy, profile of the borrower and of the major property tenants,
economic trends in the market where the property is located, and condition of
the property. These factors and the resulting risk ratings also provide a basis
for determining the level of monitoring performed at both the individual loan
and the portfolio level. When all or a portion of a commercial mortgage loan is
deemed uncollectible, the uncollectible portion of the carrying value of the
loan is charged off against the allowance. Interest income on impaired loans is
recognized as cash is received. For impaired loans where it has been determined
41
AMERICAN GENERAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
that not all of the contractual principal due will be collected, any cash
received is recorded as a reduction of the current carrying amount of the loan.
A significant majority of commercial mortgage loans in the portfolio are
non-recourse loans and, accordingly, the only guarantees are for specific items
that are exceptions to the non-recourse provisions. It is therefore extremely
rare for us to have cause to enforce the provisions of a guarantee on a
commercial real estate or mortgage loan.

is experiencing financial difficulty and the modification involves us granting
a concession to the troubled debtor, the modification is deemed to be a
troubled debt restructuring (TDR). We assess whether a borrower is experiencing
financial difficulty based on a variety of factors, including the borrower's
current default on any of its outstanding debt, the probability of a default on
any of its debt in the foreseeable future without the modification, the
insufficiency of the borrower's forecasted cash flows to service any of its
outstanding debt (including both principal and interest), and the borrower's
inability to access alternative third-party financing at an interest rate that
would be reflective of current market conditions for a non-troubled debtor.
Concessions granted may include extended maturity dates, interest rate changes,
principal forgiveness, payment deferrals and easing of loan covenants.
We held $139 million and $67 million of commercial mortgage loans that had been
modified in a TDR at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. We have no other
loans that had been modified in a TDR. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, these
commercial mortgage loans had related total allowances for credit losses of $13
million and $11 million, respectively. The commercial mortgage loans modified
in a TDR are included among the restructured loans in the credit quality
indicators table above, if they are performing according to the restructured
terms.
6. REINSURANCE
In the ordinary course of business, we utilize internal and third-party
reinsurance relationships to manage insurance risks and to facilitate capital
management strategies. Long-duration reinsurance is effected principally under
yearly renewable term treaties. Pools of highly-rated third party reinsurers
are utilized to manage net amounts at risk in excess of retention limits. In
addition, we assume reinsurance from other insurance companies. We generally
limit our exposure to loss on any single life to $10 million by ceding
additional risks through reinsurance contracts with other insurers. On an
exception basis, we can increase our exposure to loss on any single life up to
$15 million.

Amounts recoverable from reinsurers are estimated in a manner consistent with
the assumptions used for the underlying policy benefits and are presented as a
component of reinsurance assets. The premiums with respect to these treaties
are earned over the contract period in proportion to the protection provided.
The following table presents the effect of reinsurance on our premiums:

Reinsurance recoveries, which reduced Policyholder benefits, were approximately
$641 million, $658 million and $694 million during 2014, 2013 and 2012,
respectively.
The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) Model Regulation
"Valuation of Life Insurance Policies" (Regulation XXX) requires U.S. life
insurers to establish additional statutory reserves for term life insurance
policies with long-term premium guarantees and universal life policies with
secondary guarantees (ULSGs). In addition, NAIC Actuarial Guideline 38
(Guideline AXXX) clarifies the application of Regulation XXX as to these
guarantees, including certain ULSGs. We manage the capital impact of statutory
reserve requirements under Regulation XXX and Guideline AXXX through
intercompany reinsurance transactions. Regulation XXX and Guideline AXXX
reserves related to new and in-force business (term and universal life) are
ceded to our Parent, AGC Life, under a coinsurance/modified coinsurance
agreement effective January 1, 2011. This agreement does not meet the criteria
for reinsurance accounting under GAAP; therefore, deposit accounting is applied.
The agreement between us and AGC Life also provides for an experience refund of
all profits, less a reinsurance risk charge. The main impact of the agreement
on our results of operations during 2014, 2013 and 2012 was a pre-tax expense
of approximately $81 million, $73 million and $66 million, respectively, which
represented the risk charge associated with the reinsurance agreement.
On October 1, 2003, we entered into a coinsurance/modified coinsurance
agreement with AIG Life of Bermuda, Ltd. (AIGB). Under the agreement, AIGB
reinsured 100 percent quota share of our liability on virtually all of our
general account deferred annuity contracts with issue dates on or after
January 1, 2003. The agreement was amended on September 25, 2007 to terminate
the agreement for new business as of July 1, 2007. Under the agreement, we
retain the assets supporting the reserves ceded to AIGB. The agreement also
provides for an experience refund of all profits, less a reinsurance risk
charge. This agreement does not meet the criteria for reinsurance accounting
under GAAP, therefore, deposit accounting is applied. The main impact of the
agreement on our results of operations during 2014, 2013 and 2012 was pre-tax
expense of approximately $2 million in each year, which represented the risk
charge associated with the reinsurance agreement.
In 2003, we entered into two coinsurance/modified coinsurance agreements with
AIGB. These agreements have an effective date of January 1, 2003. Under the
agreements, AIGB reinsured a 100 percent quota share of our liability on
selective level term products and universal life products issued by us. These
agreements do not meet the criteria for reinsurance accounting under GAAP;
therefore, deposit accounting is applied. These agreements were amended to
terminate for new business issued on and after August 1, 2009. Effective
July 1, 2013, we fully recaptured these agreements and simultaneously reinsured
this in-force block to AGC Life, under the January 1, 2011 coinsurance/modified
coinsurance agreement mentioned above. Management received approvals of the
recapture and reinsurance transactions on our behalf and AGC Life from the
Texas and Missouri Departments of Insurance, in July 2013, with July 1, 2013
effective dates. On the effective date of the recapture with AIGB and day one
of the treaty with AGC Life, we recorded a net zero impact to pre-tax earnings.
The agreements also provide for an experience refund of all profits, less a
reinsurance risk charge. The main impact of the agreements on our results of
operations during 2013 and 2012 was pre-tax expense of approximately $3 million
and $4 million, respectively, representing the risk charge associated with the
coinsurance agreement.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Our third-party reinsurance arrangements do not relieve us from our direct
obligations to our beneficiaries. Thus, a credit exposure exists with respect
to reinsurance ceded, to the extent that any reinsurer fails to meet the
obligations assumed under any reinsurance agreement. We believe that no
exposure to a single reinsurer represents an inappropriate concentration of
credit risk to the Company. Gross reinsurance assets with our three largest
reinsurers aggregated to approximately $1.0 billion at both December 31, 2014
and 2013, of which approximately $198 million was secured by collateral at both
December 31, 2014 and 2013.
7. DERIVATIVES AND HEDGE ACCOUNTING
We use derivatives and other financial instruments as part of our financial
risk management programs and our investment operations. Interest rate and
cross-currency swaps, swaptions, options and forward transactions are accounted
for as derivatives, recorded on a trade-date basis and carried at fair value.
See Note 3 for discussion of fair value measurements. Unrealized gains and
losses are reflected in income, when appropriate. Aggregate asset or liability
positions are netted on the Balance Sheets only to the extent permitted by
qualifying master netting arrangements in place with each respective
counterparty. Cash collateral posted with counterparties in conjunction with
transactions supported by qualifying master netting arrangements is reported as
a reduction of the corresponding net derivative liability, while cash
collateral received in conjunction with transactions supported by qualifying
master netting arrangements is reported as a reduction of the corresponding net
derivative asset. We are exposed to potential credit-related losses in the
event of nonperformance by counterparties to derivative instruments. The credit
exposure related to our derivative financial instruments is limited to the fair
value of contracts that are favorable to us at the reporting date less
collateral received from that counterparty.
Derivatives, with the exception of bifurcated embedded derivatives, are
reflected in the Balance Sheets in derivative assets, at fair value and
derivative liabilities, at fair value. A bifurcated embedded derivative is
measured at fair value and accounted for in the same manner as a free standing
derivative contract. The corresponding host contract is accounted for according
to the accounting guidance applicable to that instrument. A bifurcated embedded
derivative is generally presented with the host contract. See Notes 3 and 11
for additional information on embedded policy derivatives.
Our interest rate contracts ,which include interest rate swaps, swaptions,
futures and options, are used to economically hedge interest rate exposures
associated with embedded derivatives contained in insurance contract
liabilities and fixed maturity securities, as well as other interest rate
sensitive assets and liabilities.
Foreign exchange derivatives (principally forwards and swaps) are used to
economically mitigate risk associated with foreign currency-denominated
transactions, primarily investments and GICs denominated in foreign currencies.
Effective April 1, 2014, we reclassified cross-currency swaps from interest
rate contracts to foreign exchange contracts. This change was applied
prospectively.
Equity derivatives are used to mitigate financial risk embedded in certain
insurance liabilities. We purchase equity contracts, such as futures and call
and put options, to economically hedge certain guarantees of specific equity
index universal life and annuities and variable annuity products. Our
exchange-traded index futures contracts have no recorded fair value as they are
cash settled daily.
We believe our economic hedging instruments have been and remain economically
effective, but for the most part they have not been designated as hedges
receiving hedge accounting treatment. Changes in the fair value of derivatives
not designated as hedges are reported within net realized capital gains and
losses. Certain swaps associated with GIC liabilities and available for sale
investments have been designated as fair value hedges. Changes in fair value
hedges of GIC liabilities and available for sale securities are reported in net
policyholder benefits, along with changes in the hedged item.

8. DEFERRED POLICY ACQUISITION COSTS AND DEFERRED SALES INDUCEMENTS
Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs
DAC represents those costs that are incremental and directly related to the
successful acquisition of new or renewal of existing insurance contracts. We
defer incremental costs that result directly from, and are essential to, the
acquisition or renewal of an insurance contract. Such deferred policy
acquisition costs generally include agent or broker commissions and bonuses,
premium taxes, and medical and inspection fees that would not have been
incurred if the insurance
45
AMERICAN GENERAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
contract had not been acquired or renewed. Each cost is analyzed to assess
whether it is fully deferrable. We partially defer costs, including certain
commissions, when we do not believe that the entire cost is directly related to
the acquisition or renewal of insurance contracts.
We also defer a portion of employee total compensation and payroll-related
fringe benefits directly related to time spent performing specific acquisition
or renewal activities including costs associated with the time spent on
underwriting, policy issuance and processing, and sales force contract selling.
The amounts deferred are derived based on successful efforts for each
distribution channel and/or cost center from which the cost originates.
Short-duration insurance contracts: Policy acquisition costs are deferred and
amortized over the period in which the related premiums written are earned,
generally 12 months. DAC is grouped consistent with the manner in which the
insurance contracts are acquired, serviced and measured for profitability and
is reviewed for recoverability based on the profitability of the underlying
insurance contracts. Investment income is anticipated in assessing the
recoverability of DAC. We assess the recoverability of DAC on an annual basis
or more frequently if circumstances indicate an impairment may have occurred.
This assessment is performed by comparing recorded net unearned premiums and
anticipated investment income on in-force business to the sum of expected
claims, claims adjustment expenses, unamortized DAC and maintenance costs. If
the sum of these costs exceeds the amount of recorded net unearned premiums and
anticipated investment income, the excess is recognized as an offset against
the asset established for DAC. This offset is referred to as a premium
deficiency charge. Increases in expected claims and claims adjustment expenses
can have a significant impact on the likelihood and amount of a premium
deficiency charge.
Long-duration insurance contracts: Policy acquisition costs for participating
life, traditional life and accident and health insurance products are generally
deferred and amortized, with interest, over the premium paying period. The
assumptions used to calculate the benefit liabilities and DAC for these
traditional products are set when a policy is issued and do not change with
changes in actual experience, unless a loss recognition event occurs. These
"locked-in" assumptions include mortality, morbidity, persistency, maintenance
expenses and investment returns, and include margins for adverse deviation to
reflect uncertainty given that actual experience might deviate from these
assumptions. A loss recognition event occurs when there is a shortfall between
the carrying amounts of future policy benefit liabilities, net of DAC, and the
amount the future policy benefit liabilities, net of DAC, would be when
applying updated current assumptions. When we determine that a loss recognition
event has occurred, we first reduce any DAC related to that block of business
through amortization of acquisition expense, and after DAC is depleted, we
record additional liabilities through a charge to policyholder benefits and
claims incurred. Groupings for loss recognition testing are consistent with the
manner of acquiring and servicing the business and applied by product
groupings. We perform separate loss recognition tests for traditional life
products, payout annuities and long-term care products. Once loss recognition
has been recorded for a block of business, the old assumption set is replaced
and the assumption set used for the loss recognition would then be subject to
the lock-in principle.
Investment-oriented contracts: Policy acquisition costs and policy issuance
costs related to universal life and investment-type products (collectively,
investment-oriented products) are deferred and amortized, with interest, in
relation to the incidence of estimated gross profits (EGPs) to be realized over
the estimated lives of the contracts. EGPs include net investment income and
spreads, net realized investment gains and losses, fees, surrender charges,
expenses, and mortality and morbidity gains and losses. In each reporting
period, current period amortization expense is adjusted to reflect actual gross
profits. If EGPs change significantly, DAC is recalculated using the new
assumptions, and any resulting adjustment is included in income (unlocking). If
the new assumptions indicate that future EGPs are higher than previously
estimated, DAC will be increased resulting in a decrease in amortization
expense and increase in income in the current period; if future EGPs are lower
than previously estimated, DAC will be decreased resulting in an increase in
amortization expense and decrease in income in the current period. Unlocking of
assumptions may result in acceleration of amortization in some products and
deceleration of amortization in other products. DAC is grouped consistent with
the manner in which the insurance contracts are acquired, serviced and measured
for profitability and is reviewed for recoverability based on the current and
projected future profitability of the underlying insurance contracts.
To estimate future EGPs for variable annuity products, a long-term annual asset
growth assumption is applied to determine the future growth in assets and
related asset-based fees. In determining the asset growth rate, the effect of
short-term fluctuations in the equity markets is partially mitigated through
the use of a "reversion to the mean" methodology whereby short-term asset
growth above or below long-term annual rate assumptions impact the growth
assumption applied to the five-year period subsequent to the current balance
sheet date. The reversion to the mean
46
AMERICAN GENERAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
methodology allows us to maintain our long-term growth assumptions, while also
giving consideration to the effect of actual investment performance. When
actual performance significantly deviates from the annual long-term growth
assumption, as evidenced by growth assumptions in the five-year reversion to
the mean period falling below a certain rate (floor) or above a certain rate
(cap) for a sustained period, judgment may be applied to revise or "unlock" the
growth rate assumptions to be used for both the five-year reversion to the mean
period as well as the long-term annual growth assumption applied to subsequent
periods.
Shadow DAC and Shadow Loss Recognition: DAC held for investment-oriented
products is also adjusted to reflect the effect of unrealized gains or losses
on fixed maturity and equity securities available for sale on EGPs, with
related changes recognized through other comprehensive income (shadow DAC). The
adjustment is made at each balance sheet date, as if the securities had been
sold at their stated aggregate fair value and the proceeds reinvested at
current yields. Similarly, for long-duration traditional insurance contracts,
if the assets supporting the liabilities maintain a temporary net unrealized
gain position at the balance sheet date, loss recognition testing assumptions
are updated to exclude such gains from future cash flows by reflecting the
impact of reinvestment rates on future yields. If a future loss is anticipated
under this basis, any additional shortfall indicated by loss recognition tests
is recognized as a reduction in accumulated other comprehensive income (shadow
loss recognition). Similar to other loss recognition on long-duration insurance
contracts, such shortfall is first reflected as a reduction in DAC and secondly
as an increase in liabilities for future policy benefits. The change in these
adjustments, net of tax, is included with the change in net unrealized
appreciation of investments that is credited or charged directly to other
comprehensive income.
Internal Replacements of Long-duration and Investment-Oriented Products: For
some products, policyholders can elect to modify product benefits, features,
rights or coverages by exchanging a contract for a new contract or by
amendment, endorsement, or rider to a contract, or by the election of a feature
or coverage within a contract. These transactions are known as internal
replacements. If the modification does not substantially change the contract,
we do not change the accounting and amortization of existing DAC and related
reserves. If an internal replacement represents a substantial change, the
original contract is considered to be extinguished and any related DAC or other
policy balances are charged or credited to income, and any new deferrable costs
associated with the replacement contract are deferred.
The following table presents a rollforward of DAC:

* The increase in the DAC asset, which principally reflected the impact of the
change on periods prior to 2014, was substantially offset by a related
increase in the unearned revenue reserves.
Value of Business Acquired (VOBA): VOBA is determined at the time of
acquisition and is reported in the Balance Sheets with DAC. This value is based
on the present value of future pre-tax profits discounted at yields applicable
at the time of purchase. For participating life, traditional life and accident
and health insurance products, VOBA is amortized over the life of the business
in a manner similar to that for DAC based on the assumptions at purchase. For
investment-oriented products, VOBA is amortized in relation to EGPs and
adjusted for the effect of unrealized gains or losses on fixed maturity and
equity securities available for sale in a manner similar to DAC.

The asset management operations defer distribution costs that are directly
related to the sale of mutual funds that have a 12b-1 distribution plan and/or
contingent deferred sales charge feature (collectively, Distribution Fee
Revenue). We amortize these deferred distribution costs on a straight-line
basis, adjusted for redemptions, over a period ranging from one year to eight
years depending on share class. Amortization of these deferred distribution
costs is increased if at any reporting period the value of the deferred amount
exceeds the projected Distribution Fee Revenue. The projected Distribution Fee
Revenue is impacted by estimated future withdrawal rates and the rates of
market return. Management uses historical activity to estimate future
withdrawal rates and average annual performance of the equity markets to
estimate the rates of market return.
9. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
A variable interest entity (VIE) is a legal entity that does not have
sufficient equity at risk to finance its activities without additional
subordinated financial support or is structured such that equity investors lack
the ability to make significant decisions relating to the entity's operations
through voting rights or do not substantively participate in the gains and
losses of the entity. Consolidation of a VIE by its primary beneficiary is not
based on majority voting interest, but is based on other criteria discussed
below.
We enter into various arrangements with VIEs in the normal course of business
and consolidate the VIEs when we determine we are the primary beneficiary. This
analysis includes a review of the VIE's capital structure, related contractual
relationships and terms, nature of the VIE's operations and purpose, nature of
the VIE's interests issued and our involvement with the entity. When assessing
the need to consolidate a VIE, we evaluate the design of the VIE as well as the
related risks the variable interest holders are exposed to through the design
of the entity.
For VIEs with attributes consistent with that of an investment company or a
money market fund, the primary beneficiary is the party or group of related
parties that absorbs a majority of the expected losses of the VIE, receives the
majority of the expected residual returns of the VIE, or both.
For all other VIEs, the primary beneficiary is the entity that has both (i) the
power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly affect the
VIE's economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the
right to receive benefits that could be potentially significant to the VIE.
While also considering these factors, the consolidation
48
AMERICAN GENERAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
conclusion depends on the breadth of our decision-making ability and our
ability to influence activities that significantly affect the economic
performance of the VIE.

Real Estate and Investment Entities and Affordable Housing Partnerships
We participate as a passive investor in the equity issued primarily by third
party-managed hedge and private equity funds, and certain real estate entities
managed by AIG Asset Management (US), LLC (AIG Investments), an affiliate, and
in limited partnerships that develop and operate affordable housing qualifying
for tax credits, that are VIEs. We are typically not involved in the design or
establishment of these VIEs, nor do we actively participate in the management
of the VIEs.
Securitization Vehicles
Aircraft Trusts
In 2003, AIG Parent created two VIEs, Castle 2003-1 Trust and Castle 2003-2
Trust (collectively, the Aircraft Trusts), for the purpose of acquiring,
owning, leasing, maintaining, operating and selling aircraft. AGL and other AIG
subsidiaries held beneficial interests in these entities, including passive
investments in non-voting preferred equity and in debt issued by these
entities. Debt of these entities is not an obligation of, or guaranteed by, AGL
or by AIG Parent or any of AIG's subsidiaries. Effective June 30, 2014, AGL
transferred its non-voting preferred equity interests in the Aircraft Trusts to
AIG Parent though the distribution of a non-cash dividend and return of
capital, which totaled $500 million. Prior to this distribution, AGL bore the
obligation to absorb economic losses or receive economic benefits that could
possibly be significant to the Aircraft Trusts and, as a result, we were deemed
the primary beneficiary and fully consolidated the Aircraft Trusts. Subsequent
to the distribution, AGL is no longer deemed the primary beneficiary of the
Aircraft Trusts and, as a result, the accompanying financial statements exclude
the financial position, operating results and cash flows of the Aircraft Trusts
subsequent to the date of the distribution.
Ambrose
During 2013 and 2014, we entered into securitization transactions that involved
the transfer of portfolios of our high grade corporate securities, along with a
portfolio of structured securities acquired from AIG, to newly formed special
purpose entities, Ambrose 2013-2 (Ambrose 2), Ambrose 2013-3 (Ambrose 3)
Ambrose 2013-5 (Ambrose 5) and Ambrose 2014-6 (Ambrose 6) (collectively
referred to as the Ambrose entities), which are VIEs. In each transaction, the
Ambrose entities issued beneficial interests to us in consideration for the
transferred securities. We own the majority of the beneficial interests issued
by the Ambrose entities and we maintain the power to direct the activities of
the VIEs that most significantly impact their economic performance and bear the
obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits from the VIEs that could
potentially be significant to the VIEs, accordingly, we consolidate the Ambrose
entities.
See Note 17 for additional information on these securitization transactions.
Selkirk
During 2013 and 2014, we entered into securitization transactions in which
portfolios of our commercial mortgage loans were transferred to special purpose
entities, with us retaining a significant beneficial interest in the
securitized loans. As consideration for the transferred loans, we received
beneficial interests in certain special purpose entities and cash proceeds from
the securitized notes issued to third party investors by other special purpose
entities. We determined that we control or we are the primary beneficiary of
all of the special purpose entities in the securitization structures, and
therefore we consolidate all of these entities, including those that are VIEs.
See Note 17 for additional information on these securitization transactions.
RMBS, CMBS, Other ABS and CDOs
We are passive investors in RMBS, CMBS, other ABS and CDOs, the majority of
which are issued by domestic special purpose entities. We generally do not
sponsor or transfer assets to, or act as the servicer to these asset backed

structures, and were not involved in the design of these entities. Our maximum
exposure in these types of structures is limited to our investment in
securities issued by these entities. Based on the nature of our investments and
our passive involvement in these types of structures, we have determined that
we are not the primary beneficiary of these entities.
We have not included these entities in the tables above, however, the fair
values of our investments in these structures are reported in Note 3 and Note 4.
10.INSURANCE LIABILITIES
Future Policy Benefits
Future policy benefits primarily include reserves for traditional life and
annuity payout contracts, which represent an estimate of the present value of
future benefits less the present value of future net premiums. Included in
future policy benefits are liabilities for annuities issued in structured
settlement arrangements whereby a claimant has agreed to settle a general
insurance claim in exchange for fixed payments over a fixed determinable period
of time with a life contingency feature.
Future policy benefits also include certain guaranteed benefits of variable
annuity products that are not considered embedded derivatives, primarily
guaranteed minimum death benefits. See Note 11 for additional information on
guaranteed minimum death benefits.
The liability for long-duration future policy benefits has been established
including assumptions for interest rates which vary by year of issuance and
product, and range from approximately zero percent to 12.0 percent. Mortality
and surrender rate assumptions are generally based on actual experience when
the liability is established.
For universal life policies with secondary guarantees, we recognize a future
policy benefit reserve, in addition to policyholder contract deposits, based on
a benefit ratio of (a) the present value of total expected payments, in excess
of the account value, over the life of the contract, divided by (b) the present
value of total expected assessments over the life of the contract. For
universal life policies without secondary guarantees, for which profits
followed by losses are first expected after contract inception, we establish
future policy benefit reserves, in addition to policyholder contract deposits,
so that expected future losses are recognized in proportion to the emergence of
profits in the earlier (profitable) years.
For long duration traditional business, a "lock-in" principle applies. The
assumptions used to calculate the benefit liabilities and DAC are set when a
policy is issued and do not change with changes in actual experience, unless a
loss recognition event occurs. The assumptions include mortality, morbidity,
persistency, maintenance expenses, and investment returns. These assumptions
are typically consistent with pricing inputs. These assumptions include margins
for adverse deviation in the event that actual experience might deviate from
these assumptions.
A loss recognition event occurs if observed changes in actual experience or
estimates result in projected future losses under loss recognition testing. To
determine whether a loss recognition event has occurred, we determine whether a
future loss is expected based on updated current assumptions. If a loss
recognition event occurs, we recognize the loss by first reducing DAC through
amortization expense, and, if DAC is depleted, record additional liabilities
through a charge to policyholder benefit expense. See Note 8 for additional
information on loss recognition.
Sales of investment securities in connection with a program to utilize capital
loss carryforwards, as well as other investment sales with subsequent
reinvestment at lower yields, triggered loss recognition expense primarily on
certain long-term payout annuity contracts of $21 million, $886 million and
$807 million, in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. We also recorded loss
recognition expense of $87 million in 2014 and $61 million in 2012 to increase
reserves for certain long-term care business.
51
AMERICAN GENERAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Policyholder Contract Deposits
The liability for policyholder contract deposits is recorded at accumulated
value (deposits received and net transfers from separate accounts, plus accrued
interest credited at rates ranging from 0.3 percent to 8.4 percent, less
withdrawals and assessed fees). Deposits collected on investment-oriented
products are not reflected as revenues, as they are recorded directly to
policyholder contract deposits upon receipt. Amounts assessed against the
contract holders for mortality, administrative, and other services are included
in revenues.
In addition to liabilities for universal life, fixed annuities, fixed options
with variable annuities, annuities without life contingencies, funding
agreements and guaranteed investment contracts, policyholder contract deposits
also include our liability for (i) certain guaranteed benefits and
equity-indexed features accounted for as embedded derivatives at fair value,
(ii) annuities issued in a structured settlement arrangement with no life
contingency and (iii) certain contracts we have elected to account for at fair
value. In addition, certain GIC contracts contain embedded derivatives that are
bifurcated and carried at fair value in policyholder contract deposits with the
change in fair value recorded in policyholder benefits. See Note 3 for
discussion of the fair value measurement of embedded policy derivatives and
Note 11 for additional discussions of guaranteed benefits accounted for as
embedded derivatives.
Under a funding agreement-backed note issuance program, an unaffiliated,
non-consolidated statutory trust issues medium-term notes to investors, which
are secured by GICs issued to the trust by the Company. In 2014, a $450 million
GIC was issued in conjunction with the funding agreement-backed notes program.
Policy Claims and Benefits Payable
Policy claims and benefits payable include amounts representing: (i) the actual
in-force amounts for reported life claims and an estimate of incurred but not
reported (IBNR) claims; and (ii) an estimate, based upon prior experience, for
accident and health reported and IBNR losses. The methods of making such
estimates and establishing the resulting reserves are continually reviewed and
updated and any adjustments are reflected in current period income.
We are now taking enhanced measures to, among other things, routinely match
policyholder records with the Social Security Administration Death Master File
(SSDMF) to determine if insured parties, annuitants, or retained account
holders have died and to locate beneficiaries when a claim is payable. If the
beneficiary/account owner does not make contact with us within 120 days, we
will conduct a "Thorough Search" to locate the beneficiary/account owner. A
"Thorough Search" includes at least three attempts in writing to contact the
beneficiary and if unsuccessful, at least one contact attempt using a phone
number and/or email address in our records.
Other Policyholder Funds
Other policyholder funds include unearned revenue reserves (URR). URR consists
of front-end loads on investment-oriented contracts, representing those policy
loads that are non-level and typically higher in initial policy years than in
later policy years. URR for investment-oriented contracts are generally
deferred and amortized, with interest, in relation to the incidence of EGPs to
be realized over the estimated lives of the contracts and are subject to the
same adjustments due to changes in the assumptions underlying EGPs as DAC.
Amortization of URR is recorded in policy fees.
Other policyholder funds also include provisions for future dividends to
participating policyholders, accrued in accordance with all applicable
regulatory or contractual provisions. Participating policyholders are the
policyholders who share in our earnings based on provisions within the policy
contract. These dividends are declared annually by our Board of Directors and
may be paid in cash, or they may be applied to reduce future premiums or
purchase additional benefits, or they may be left to accumulate with interest
until a later date. In addition, certain participating whole life insurance
contracts are subject to unique participating policyholder dividend
requirements that are imposed by state law. As such, we established an
additional liability because it is required by statute to return 90 percent of
the profits from the contracts to the policyholders in the form of policyholder
dividends which will be paid in the future but are not yet payable. The profits
used in the liability calculation consist of discrete components for operating
income, realized
52
AMERICAN GENERAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
gains and losses and unrealized gains and losses pertaining to the policies and
the assets supporting them. The impact of the unrealized gains and losses
component is recorded through other comprehensive income.
Participating life business represented approximately 1.0 percent of the gross
insurance in force at December 31, 2014 and 6.0 percent of gross premiums in
2014. Policyholder dividends were $28 million, $28 million and $35 million in
2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and are included in policyholder benefits in
the Statements of Income.
Certain products are subject to experience adjustments. These include group
life and group medical products, credit life contracts, accident and health
insurance contracts/riders attached to life policies and, to a limited extent,
reinsurance agreements with other direct insurers. Ultimate premiums from these
contracts are estimated and recognized as revenue, and the unearned portions of
the premiums recorded as liabilities. Experience adjustments vary according to
the type of contract and the territory in which the policy is in force and are
subject to local regulatory guidance.
11.VARIABLE LIFE AND ANNUITY CONTRACTS
We report variable contracts within the separate accounts when investment
income and investment gains and losses accrue directly to, and investment risk
is borne by, the contract holder and the separate account meets additional
accounting criteria to qualify for separate account treatment. The assets
supporting the variable portion of variable annuity and variable universal life
contracts that qualify for separate account treatment are carried at fair value
and reported as separate account assets, with an equivalent summary total
reported as separate account liabilities.
Policy values for variable products and investment contracts are expressed in
terms of investment units. Each unit is linked to an asset portfolio. The value
of a unit increases or decreases based on the value of the linked asset
portfolio. The current liability at any time is the sum of the current unit
value of all investment units in the separate accounts, plus any liabilities
for guaranteed minimum death or guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefits included
in future policy benefits or policyholder contract deposits, respectively.
Amounts assessed against the contract holders for mortality, administrative,
and other services are included in revenue. Net investment income, net
investment gains and losses, changes in fair value of assets, and policyholder
account deposits and withdrawals related to separate accounts are excluded from
the Statements of Income, Comprehensive Income and Cash Flows.
Variable annuity contracts may include certain contractually guaranteed
benefits to the contract holder. These guaranteed features include guaranteed
minimum death benefits (GMDB) that are payable in the event of death, and
living benefits that are payable in the event of annuitization, or, in other
instances, at specified dates during the accumulation period. Living benefits
include guaranteed minimum income benefits (GMIB), guaranteed minimum
withdrawal benefits (GMWB), and guaranteed minimum account value (GMAV). A
variable annuity contract may include more than one type of guaranteed benefit
feature; for example, it may have both a GMDB and a GMWB. However, a
policyholder can only receive payout from one guaranteed feature on a contract
containing a death benefit and a living benefit, i.e. the features are mutually
exclusive. A policyholder cannot purchase more than one living benefit on one
contract. The net amount at risk for each feature is calculated irrespective of
the existence of other features; as a result, the net amount at risk for each
feature is not additive to that of other features.

GMDB and GMIB
Depending on the contract, the GMDB feature may provide a death benefit of
either (a) total deposits made to the contract less any partial withdrawals
plus a minimum return or (b) the highest contract value attained, typically on
any anniversary date minus any subsequent withdrawals following the contract
anniversary. GMIB guarantees a minimum level of periodic income payments upon
annuitization. GMDB is our most widely offered benefit; our variable annuity
contracts may also include GMIB to a lesser extent.
The liabilities for GMDB and GMIB, which are recorded in future policyholder
benefits, represent the expected value of the guaranteed benefits in excess of
the projected account value, with the excess recognized ratably over the
accumulation period based on total expected assessments, through policyholder
benefits. The net amount at risk for GMDB represents the amount of benefits in
excess of account value if death claims were filed on all contracts on the
balance sheet date.

We regularly evaluate estimates used to determine the GMDB liability and adjust
the additional liability balance, with a related charge or credit to
policyholder benefits and losses incurred, if actual experience or other
evidence suggests that earlier assumptions should be revised.
The following assumptions and methodology were used to determine the reserve
for GMDB at December 31, 2014:
.. Data used was up to 500 stochastically generated investment performance
scenarios.
.. Mean investment performance assumption was 8.5 percent.
.. Volatility assumption was 16.0 percent.
.. Mortality was assumed to be 89.6 percent to 138.7 percent of the 2012
individual annuity mortality table.
.. Lapse rates vary by contract type and duration and range from zero percent
to 37.0 percent.
54
AMERICAN GENERAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
.. The discount rate ranged from 5.5 percent to 10.0 percent and is based on
the growth rate assumptions for the underlying contracts in effect at the
time of policy issuance.
GMWB and GMAV
Certain guaranteed benefit and equity index features, which are recorded in
policyholder contract deposits, are bifurcated from the host contract and
accounted for separately as embedded policy derivatives at fair value, with
changes in fair value recognized in net realized capital gains (losses) in the
Statements of Income. These include GMWB, GMAV as well as equity index
annuities and equity index universal life contracts, which offer a guaranteed
minimum interest rate plus a contingent return based on some internal or
external equity index.
Certain of our variable annuity contracts contain optional GMWB and, to a
lesser extent, GMAV benefits, which are not currently offered. With a GMWB, the
contract holder can monetize the excess of the guaranteed amount over the
account value of the contract only through a series of withdrawals that do not
exceed a specific percentage per year of the guaranteed amount. If, after the
series of withdrawals, the account value is exhausted, the contract holder will
receive a series of annuity payments equal to the remaining guaranteed amount,
and, for lifetime GMWB products, the annuity payments continue as long as the
covered person(s) are living. With a GMAV benefit, the contract holder can
monetize the excess of the guarantee amount over the account value of the
contract, provided the contract holder persists until the maturity date.
The fair value of our GMWB and GMAV embedded policy derivatives was a net
liability of $698 million and a net asset of $89 million at December 31, 2014
and 2013, respectively. We had account values subject to GMWB and GMAV that
totaled $30.0 billion and $23.0 billion at December 31, 2014 and 2013,
respectively. The net amount at risk for GMWB represents the present value of
minimum guaranteed withdrawal payments, in accordance with contract terms, in
excess of account value. The net amount at risk for GMAV represents the present
value of minimum guaranteed account value in excess of the current account
balance, assuming no lapses. The net amount at risk related to these guarantees
was $269 million and $51 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
We use derivative instruments and other financial instruments to mitigate a
portion of the exposure that arises from GMWB and GMAV benefits.
12.DEBT

unamortized discounts and fair value adjustments, when applicable, except for

Mortgage Loan Commitments
We have $651 million and $99 million in commitments related to commercial and

Other Commitments
SAAMCo is the investment advisor of SunAmerica Money Market Fund (the Fund), a
series of the SunAmerica Money Market Funds, Inc., which seeks to maintain a
stable $1.00 net asset value (NAV) per share. The Fund's market value NAV was
negatively impacted by a loss in 2008 on an asset-backed security (Cheyne).
SAAMCo has provided certain commitments to the Board of Directors of the Fund
to contribute capital to maintain a minimum market value per share up to the
amount of the security loss. Management has also committed that should the
realized loss carryforward from Cheyne eventually expire, SAAMCo will reimburse
the Fund to the extent of the expiration. SAAMCo has recorded a contingent
liability of $1 million for expected future capital contributions as of
December 31, 2014.
Contingencies
Legal Matters
Various lawsuits against us have arisen in the ordinary course of business.
Except as discussed below, we believe it is unlikely that contingent
liabilities arising from litigation, income taxes and other matters will have a
material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or
cash flows.
Regulatory Matters
All fifty states and the District of Columbia have laws requiring solvent life
insurance companies, through participation in guaranty associations, to pay
assessments to protect the interests of policyholders of insolvent life
insurance companies. These state insurance guaranty associations generally levy
assessments, up to prescribed limits, on member insurers in a particular state
based on the proportionate share of the premiums written by member insurers in
the lines of business in which the impaired, insolvent or failed insurer is
engaged. Such assessments are used to pay certain contractual insurance
benefits owed pursuant to insurance policies issued by impaired, insolvent or
failed insurers. Some states permit member insurers to recover assessments paid
through full or partial premium tax offsets. We accrue liabilities for guaranty
fund assessments when an assessment is probable and can be reasonably
estimated. We estimate the liability using the latest information available
from the National Organization of Life and Health Insurance Guaranty
Associations. While we cannot predict the amount and timing of any future
guaranty fund assessments, we have established reserves we believe are adequate
for assessments relating to insurance companies that are currently subject to
insolvency proceedings. We had accrued $12 million for these guaranty fund
assessments at both December 31, 2014 and 2013, which was reported within other
liabilities in the Balance Sheets.
Policyholder benefit expense in 2014 included an increase of approximately $104
million to the estimated reserves for incurred but not reported (IBNR) death
claims. The $104 million reserve increase was in addition to amounts previously
provided for IBNR claims in 2011 and 2012, which totaled $237 million. We are
continuing our efforts to identify deceased insureds and their beneficiaries
who have not presented a valid claim, pursuant to the 2012 resolution of a
multi-state audit and market conduct examination. The 2014 increase in the IBNR
reserve was related primarily to a legacy block of in-force and lapsed small
face amount policies, for which the personal data elements to effect a match
against the Social Security Death Master File are unavailable or incomplete,
such as full legal name, date of birth or Social Security number. In the
process of reviewing these policies as required under the terms of the
regulatory agreement, we have refined estimates of the ultimate cost of these
claims. We believe the reserves for such claims are adequate; however, there
can be no assurance that the ultimate cost will not vary from the current
estimate.
In addition, the state of West Virginia has two lawsuits pending against us
relating to alleged violations of the West Virginia Uniform Unclaimed Property
Act, in connection with policies issued by us and by American General Life and
57
AMERICAN GENERAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Accident Insurance Company (AGLA, which merged into AGL on December 31, 2012).
The State of West Virginia has also filed similar lawsuits against other
insurers.
Various federal, state and other regulatory agencies may from time to time
review, examine or inquire into our operations, practices and procedures, such
as through financial examinations, market conduct exams or regulatory
inquiries. Based on the current status of pending regulatory examinations and

examinations or inquiries will have a material adverse effect on our
consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Dividends
Dividends that we may pay to the Parent in any year without prior approval of
the Texas Department of Insurance (TDI) are limited by statute. The maximum
amount of dividends which can be paid over a rolling twelve-month period to
shareholders of insurance companies domiciled in the state of Texas without
obtaining the prior approval of the TDI is limited to the greater of either 10
percent of the preceding year's statutory surplus or the preceding year's
statutory net gain from operations. Additionally, unless prior approval of the
TDI is obtained, dividends can only be paid out of our unassigned surplus.
Subject to the TDI requirements, the maximum dividend payout that may be made
in 2015 without prior approval of the TDI is $1.9 billion. Dividend payments in
excess of positive retained earnings were classified and reported as a return
of capital.
Statutory Financial Data
We are required to file financial statements prepared in accordance with
statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by state insurance
regulatory authorities. The principal differences between statutory financial
statements and financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP are
that statutory financial statements do not reflect DAC, some bond portfolios
may be carried at amortized cost, investment impairments are determined in
accordance with statutory accounting practices, assets and liabilities are
presented net of reinsurance, policyholder liabilities are generally valued
using more conservative assumptions and certain assets are non-admitted. In
addition, state insurance regulatory authorities have the right to permit
specific practices that deviate from prescribed statutory practices.

15.BENEFIT PLANS
Effective January 1, 2002, our employees participate in various benefit plans
sponsored by AIG, including a noncontributory qualified defined benefit
retirement plan, various stock option and purchase plans, a 401(k) plan and a
post retirement benefit program for medical care and life insurance (the U.S.
Plans). AIG's U.S. Plans do not separately identify projected benefit
obligations and plan assets attributable to employees of participating
affiliates.
We are jointly and severally responsible with AIG and other participating
companies for funding obligations for the U.S. Plans, Employee Retirement
Income Security Act (ERISA) qualified defined contribution plans and ERISA
plans issued

by other AIG subsidiaries (the "ERISA Plans). If the ERISA Plans do not have
adequate funds to pay obligations due participants, the Pension Benefit
Guaranty Corporation or Department of Labor could seek payment of such amounts
from the members of the AIG ERISA control group, including us. Accordingly, we
are contingently liable for such obligations. We believe that the likelihood of
payment under any of these plans is remote. Accordingly, we have not
established any liability for such contingencies.

between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of assets and
liabilities, at the enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when the
temporary differences reverse. The effect of a tax rate change is recognized in
income in the period of enactment. State income taxes are included in income

We are included in the consolidated federal income tax return of our ultimate
parent, AIG Parent. Under the tax sharing agreement with AIG Parent, taxes are
recognized and computed on a separate company basis. To the extent that
benefits for net operating losses, foreign tax credits or net capital losses
are utilized on a consolidated basis, we will recognize tax benefits based upon
the amount of the deduction and credits utilized in the consolidated federal
income tax return.
We calculate current and deferred state income taxes using the actual
apportionment and statutory rates for states in which we are required to file
on a separate basis. In states that have a unitary regime, AIG Parent accrues
and pays the taxes owed and does not allocate the provision or cash settle the
expense with the members of the unitary group. Unlike for federal income tax
purposes, AIG does not have state tax sharing agreements. AIG has determined
that because the unitary tax expense will never be borne by the subsidiaries,
the state tax unitary liability is not included in this separate company
expense.
Assessment of Deferred Tax Asset Valuation Allowance
The evaluation of the recoverability of the deferred tax asset and the need for
a valuation allowance requires us to weigh all positive and negative evidence
to reach a conclusion that it is more likely than not that all or some portion
of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The weight given to the
evidence is commensurate with the extent to which it can be objectively
verified. The more negative evidence that exists, the more positive evidence is
necessary and the more difficult it is to support a conclusion that a valuation
allowance is not needed.
Our framework for assessing the recoverability of deferred tax assets requires
us to consider all available evidence, including:
.. the nature, frequency and severity of cumulative financial reporting losses
in recent years;
.. the predictability of future operating profitability of the character
necessary to realize the net deferred tax asset;
.. the carryforward periods for the net operating loss, capital loss and
foreign tax credit carryforwards, including the effect of reversing taxable
temporary differences; and
.. prudent and feasible tax planning strategies that would be implemented, if
necessary, to protect against the loss of deferred tax assets.
As a result of sales in the ordinary course of business to manage the
investment portfolio and the application of prudent and feasible tax planning
strategies in 2014, we determined that an additional portion of the capital
loss carryforwards will more-likely-than-not be realized prior to their
expiration. Accordingly, in 2014, we released $1.2 billion of our deferred tax
asset valuation associated with the capital loss carryforwards, of which $68
million was recognized as a reduction to income and the remainder was allocated
to other comprehensive income.

Accounting For Uncertainty in Income Taxes
The following table presents a reconciliation of the beginning and ending
balances of the total amounts of gross unrecognized tax benefits:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Years Ended

------------
(in millions) 2014 2013

Increases in tax position for prior years -- 7
Decreases in tax position for prior years (55) --
---- ---
Gross unrecognized tax benefits at end of year $ 37 $92
==== ===
</TABLE>
We regularly evaluate proposed adjustments by taxing authorities. At
December 31, 2014, such proposed adjustments would not have resulted in a
material change to our financial condition. Although it is reasonably possible
that a change in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits may occur within the
next twelve months, based on the information currently available, we do not
expect any change to be material to our financial condition.
At December 31, 2014 and 2013, our unrecognized tax benefits, excluding
interest and penalties, were $27 million and $36 million, respectively. At
December 31, 2014 and 2013, the amounts of unrecognized tax benefits that, if
recognized, would favorably affect the effective tax rate were $27 million for
both years.
Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are recognized in
income tax expense. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, we had accrued $7 million
and $16 million, respectively, for the payment of interest (net of the federal
benefit) and penalties. In 2014, we recognized income of $10 million, while in
2013 and 2012, we recognized expense of $6 million and $11 million,
respectively, of interest (net of the federal benefit) and penalties.
We are currently under IRS examination for the taxable year 2006. Although the
final outcome of possible issues raised in any future examination is uncertain,
we believe that the ultimate liability, including interest, will not materially
exceed amounts recorded in the financial statements. Taxable years 2001 to 2013
remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions.
17.RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Events Related to AIG
AIG Parent is subject to regulation by the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System (the Federal Reserve) as a systemically important financial
institution (SIFI) pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer
Protection Act. AIG Parent was subject to regulation by the Federal Reserve as
a savings and loan holding company as of March 31, 2014. The Federal Reserve
approved AIG Parent's application to deregister as a savings and loan holding
company effective April 4, 2014. AIG Parent will continue to be supervised by
the Federal Reserve due to its designation by the Financial Stability Oversight
Council as a non-bank SIFI.
On July 1, 2014, as a non-bank SIFI, AIG Parent submitted to its regulators its
initial annual plan for rapid and orderly resolution in the event of material
financial distress or failure, which must meet several specific standards,
including requiring a detailed resolution strategy and analyses of material
entities, organizational structure, interconnections and interdependencies, and
management information systems, among other elements. The public section of the
plan can be found on the websites of the Federal Reserve and the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Federal Reserve has yet to complete the
regulatory framework that will be applicable to AIG Parent as a non-bank SIFI.
On July 18, 2013, the Financial Stability Board (consisting of representatives
of national financial authorities of the G20 nations), in consultation with the
International Association of Insurance Supervisors and national authorities,
identified an initial list of Global Systemically Important Insurers, which
included AIG Parent.

Additional information on AIG Parent is publicly available in AIG Parent's
regulatory filings with the SEC, which can be found at www.sec.gov. Information
regarding AIG Parent as described herein is qualified by regulatory filings AIG
Parent files from time to time with the SEC.
Operating Agreements
Pursuant to a cost allocation agreement, we purchase administrative, investment
management, accounting, marketing and data processing services from AIG Parent
or its subsidiaries. The allocation of costs for investment management services
is based on the level of assets under management. The allocation of costs for
other services is based on estimated level of usage, transactions or time
incurred in providing the respective services. We incurred approximately
$305 million, $297 million and $198 million for such services in 2014, 2013 and
2012, respectively. Accounts payable for such services were $240 million and
$190 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. We rent facilities
and provide services on an allocated cost basis to various affiliates. We also
provide shared services, including technology, to a number of AIG's life
insurance subsidiaries. Effective January 1, 2013, we became the service
provider for additional affiliated companies. We earned approximately
$813 million, $805 million and $282 million for such services and rent in 2014,
2013 and 2012, respectively. Accounts receivable for rent and services were
$57 million and $91 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
We pay commissions and fees, including support fees to defray marketing and
training costs, to affiliated broker-dealers for distributing our annuity
products and mutual funds. Amounts incurred related to the broker-dealer
services totaled $55 million, $50 million and $39 million in 2014, 2013 and
2012, respectively. These broker-dealers distribute a significant portion of
our variable annuity products, representing approximately 6.0 percent,
7.0 percent and 8.0 percent of premiums received in 2014, 2013 and 2012,
respectively. These broker-dealers also distribute a significant portion of our
mutual funds, representing approximately 15.0 percent, 16.0 percent and
16.0 percent of sales in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
On February 1, 2004, SAAMCo entered into an administrative services agreement
with our affiliate, The United States Life Insurance Company in the City of New
York (USL) (as successor by merger of First SunAmerica Life Insurance Company
(FSA) with and into USL) whereby SAAMCo will pay to USL a fee based on a
percentage of all assets invested through FSA's variable annuity products in
exchange for services performed. SAAMCo is the investment advisor for certain
trusts that serve as investment options for USL's variable annuity products.
Amounts we incurred under this agreement totaled $6 million, $4 million and
$3 million in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and are included in other
expenses in our Statements of Income.
On October 1, 2001, SAAMCo entered into two administrative services agreements
with business trusts established by our affiliate, The Variable Annuity Life
Insurance Company (VALIC), whereby the trusts pay SAAMCo a fee based on a
percentage of average daily net assets invested through VALIC's annuity
products in exchange for services performed. Amounts earned by SAAMCo under
this agreement were $18 million, $17 million and $15 million in 2014, 2013 and
2012, respectively, and are net of certain administrative costs incurred by
VALIC of $5 million in each of 2014 and 2013 and $4 million in 2012. The net
amounts earned by SAAMCo are included in other revenue in our Statements of
Income.
Notes of Affiliates
In 2011, we invested $300 million in a 5.57 percent Senior Promissory Note due
September 30, 2014, issued by AIG Life Holdings, Inc. (AIGLH) (formerly known
as SunAmerica Financial Group, Inc.). We received principal payments of
$100 million in each of 2014, 2013 and 2012. As of September 30, 2014, AIGLH
had paid all outstanding principal and interest on this loan, thereby
extinguishing this note. We recognized interest income of $4 million,
$10 million and $16 million on this note during 2014, 2013 and 2012,
respectively.

Selkirk Transactions
During 2013 and 2014, we transferred portfolios of commercial mortgage loans to
newly formed special purpose entities, Selkirk No. 1 Investments (SPV1) and
Selkirk No. 3A Investments (SPV1A), respectively. The transactions involved
securitizations of the transferred loans and we retained significant beneficial
interests in the securitized loans. As consideration for the transferred loans,
we received beneficial interests in loan-backed and structured securities
(Notes) issued by other newly formed special purpose entities, equity interests
in SPV1 and SPV1A, and cash proceeds of $230 million and $144 million from
notes issued to third party investors and an affiliate by other special purpose
entities, Selkirk No. 1 Limited and Selkirk No. 3 Limited, respectively. The
consideration received had an aggregate fair value of $973 million for the SPV1
transaction and $624 million for the SPV1A transaction. AIG Investments
services the securitized commercial mortgage loans on behalf of SPV1 and SPV1A.
We consolidate certain of the special purpose entities in the securitization
structures, some of which are VIEs. See Note 9 for additional disclosures
related to VIEs. As a result, certain of the Notes and our equity interests in
SPV1 and SPV1A are eliminated in consolidation, while the securitized
commercial mortgage loans remain on our Balance Sheets. On a consolidated
basis, the net change in our Balance Sheets as a result of these transactions
consisted of additional assets in the form of cash consideration received,
which was subsequently invested, and the liabilities for notes payable to third
party investors and to an affiliate, VALIC.
Lighthouse VI
During 2013, we, along with VALIC (collectively, the Insurers), executed three
transactions in which a portfolio of securities (Transferred Portfolios) was,
in each transaction, transferred into a newly established Common Trust Fund
(CTF) in exchange for proportionate interests in all assets within each CTF as
evidenced by specific securities controlled by and included within our
representative security account. In each transaction, a portion of our
securities (Exchange Assets) were transferred into the representative security
account of VALIC in exchange for other VALIC securities. Only the transfers of
the Exchange Assets between the Insurers qualify for derecognition treatment
under ASC 860, "Transfers and Servicing," and thus were the only assets
derecognized in the transfer of the Transferred Portfolios into the CTFs. The
securities we received for the transfers of the Exchange Assets were initially
recognized at fair value and will subsequently be carried at accreted value,
based on cash flow projections. We transferred securities with an aggregate
fair value of $7.7 billion into the CTFs for all three transactions and
recognized gains totaling $250 million on the transfer of the Exchange Assets.
AIG Investments manages the portfolio of assets included in the CTFs.
Ambrose Transactions
During 2013 and 2014, we acquired certain financial assets from AIG Parent and
subsequently entered into four related securitization transactions with certain
affiliates and third parties to enhance our statutory risk-based capital ratio,
liquidity and net investment income. The financial assets acquired from AIG
Parent in each transaction consisted of a structured security backed by a
portfolio of structured securities (Repack Note) and were exchanged for an
intraday Demand Note, which was subsequently extinguished. In each
securitization transaction, we transferred a portfolio of high grade corporate
securities and the Repack Note to one of the newly formed special purpose
entities; Ambrose 2, Ambrose 3, Ambrose 5 and Ambrose 6 (the Ambrose entities).
As consideration for the transferred securities, we received beneficial
interests in three tranches of structured securities (Class A1, B, C and X)
issued by each Ambrose entity. The Class A1, B and C Notes were designed to
closely replicate the interest and principal amortization payments of the
transferred securities. The Class X notes were subsequently transferred to AIG
in exchange for cancellation of the Demand Notes described above, which
resulted in capital contributions to us. Each Ambrose entity also issued a
tranche of Class A2 notes to third party investors. Ambrose 6 also issued
Class A1, B and C notes to an affiliate, VALIC, as consideration for similar
transferred financial assets.
Capital commitments from a non-U.S. subsidiary of AIG Parent, which are
guaranteed by AIG Parent, were received by Ambrose 2, Ambrose 3, Ambrose 5 and
Ambrose 6 in the amount of $300 million, $300 million, $400 million and
$200 million, respectively, pursuant to which the promissor will contribute
funds to the respective Ambrose entity upon demand. AIG Parent indirectly bears
the first loss position in each transaction through its ownership of the Class X

notes and its guarantee of the capital commitments. AIG Investments manages the
portfolio of assets on behalf of each Ambrose entity.
Each of the Ambrose entities is a VIE and we consolidate all of the Ambrose
entities. See Note 9 for additional disclosures related to VIEs. The Class A1,
Class B and Class C structured securities we received are eliminated in
consolidation. The notes issued by the Ambrose entities that are held by AIG
Parent, third parties and an affiliate are classified as notes payable. The
Ambrose entities each elected the fair value option for their Class X notes
payable. On a consolidated basis, the Ambrose transactions resulted in an
increase in our assets (Repack Note and cash), liabilities (notes payable) and
AGL shareholder's equity (capital contribution from AIG Parent).

American Home and National Union Guarantees
American Home Assurance Company (American Home) and National Union Fire
Insurance Company of Pittsburgh, Pa. (National Union), indirect wholly owned
subsidiaries of AIG Parent, have terminated the General Guarantee Agreements
(the Guarantees) with respect to our prospectively issued policies and
contracts. The Guarantees terminated on December 29, 2006 (Point of
Termination). Pursuant to their terms, the Guarantees do not apply to any group
or individual policy, contract or certificate issued after the Point of
Termination. The Guarantees will continue to cover policies, contracts and
certificates with issue dates earlier than the Point of Termination until all
insurance obligations under such policies, contracts and certificates are
satisfied in full. American Home's and National Union's audited statutory
financial statements are filed with the SEC in our registration statements for
the variable products that we issued prior to the Point of Termination.
Capital Maintenance Agreement
In March 2011, we entered into a Capital Maintenance Agreement (CMA) with AIG
Parent. Among other things, the CMA provided that AIG Parent would maintain our
statutory-basis total adjusted capital at or above a specified minimum
percentage of our projected Company Action Level Risk-Based Capital. AIG Parent
did not make any capital contributions to us under the CMA in the three years
ended December 31, 2014. As a result of managing capital through internal AIG
Board-approved policies and guidelines, we and AIG agreed to terminate the CMA
effective October 31, 2014.

balance under this agreement at December 31, 2014 or 2013. This agreement was

GIC Assumption
In 2011, we entered into three assignment and assumption agreements with
AIGMFC, certain bank trustees, and three unaffiliated bond issuers (the
Issuers), pursuant to which we assumed all of AIGMFC's obligations under
certain GIC agreements previously entered into between AIGMFC and the bank
trustees which related to certain bond obligations of the Issuers. As part of
this assignment and assumption, we received from AIGMFC amounts that
represented the then-outstanding principal amount of investments under the
referenced GIC agreements, plus related accrued but unpaid interest. We also
entered into a swap with AIG Markets, Inc. (AIG Markets) in connection with
each of these transactions, which, among other things, provides a fee to us for
assuming the obligations under the GIC agreements and economically hedges our
interest rate risk associated with the assumed GICs. Obligations of AIG Markets
under the swaps are guaranteed by AIG Parent.
Other
We engage in structured settlement transactions, certain of which involve
affiliated property and casualty insurers that are subsidiaries of AIG Parent.
In a structured settlement arrangement, a property and casualty insurance
policy claimant has agreed to settle a casualty insurance claim in exchange for
fixed payments over either a fixed determinable period of time or a
life-contingent period. In such claim settlement arrangements, a casualty
insurance claim payment provides the funding for the purchase of a single
premium immediate annuity (SPIA) issued by us for the ultimate benefit of the
claimant. The portion of our liabilities related to structured settlements
involving life contingencies is reported in future policy benefits, while the
portion not involving life contingencies is reported in policyholder contract
deposits. In certain structured settlement arrangements, the property and
casualty insurance company remains contingently liable for the payments to the
claimant. We had liabilities of $1.4 billion at both December 31, 2014 and 2013
related to SPIAs issued by us in conjunction with structured settlement
transactions involving affiliated property and casualty insurers where those
members remained contingently liable for the payments to the claimant. In
addition, we had liabilities for the structured settlement transactions where
the affiliated property and casualty insurers were no longer contingently
liable for the payments to the claimant.
During 2014, we entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with AIG Parent by
which we sold all of our interests in The People's Insurance Company (Group) of
China Limited (PICC Group) to AIG Parent at fair market value, based on the
closing price of the PICC Group shares as quoted on the Hong Kong Stock
Exchange on August 13, 2014. The transaction closed on August 15, 2014 and we
received $484 million as consideration for the sale.

ITEM 28. INDEMNIFICATION
Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of
1933 ("Act") may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
AMERICAN GENERAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
To the full extent authorized by law, the corporation shall indemnify any
person made, or threatened to be made, a party to an action or proceeding,
whether criminal or civil, by reason of the fact that he, his testator or
intestate is or was a director or officer of the corporation or serves or
served in any capacity in any other corporation at the request of the
corporation. Nothing contained herein shall affect any rights to
indemnification to which corporate personnel other than directors and officers
may be entitled by contract or otherwise under law.
