Purchasing a Contract: Key Features at a Glance | |
Issue Age (see section 3) | On the date we issue the Contract (the Issue Date), all Owners and the Annuitant must be either: • age 80 or younger, or • age 75 or younger if you select the Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit. The Owner is the person or entity designated at issue who may exercise all Contract rights. The Annuitant is the individual upon whose life we base Annuity Payments. |
Purchase Payment Standards (see section 3) | • • • $1 million maximum in total Purchase Payments unless we give prior approval for a higher amount. • We do not accept additional Purchase Payments during the Income Period or the Annuity Phase. |
Allocation of Purchase Payments and Contract Value Transfers (see section 3) | You can allocate your Purchase Payments to any or all of the • As a result, we hold Purchase Payments • On each Index Option’s Term End Date, • We do not allow assets to move into an established 3-year or 6-year Term Index Option until the Term End Date. • Purchase Payments you allocate to an Index Option must be held in the Index Option for the full Term before they can receive a Credit. Therefore, additional Purchase Payments we receive after the Index Effective Date that you allocate to a 1-year Term Index Option are not eligible to receive a Credit until the second Index Anniversary after we receive them, or the fourth Index Anniversary after we receive them for allocations to a 3-year Term Index Option, or the seventh Index Anniversary after we receive them for allocations to a 6-year Term Index Option. |
Purchasing a Contract: Key Features at | |
Daily Adjustment (see “What is the Daily Adjustment?” in this Summary and section 5) | The Daily Adjustment is how we calculate Index Option Values on days other than the Term Start Date or Term End Date for each Index Option with the Index Precision Strategy, Index Guard Strategy, and Index Performance Strategy. The Daily Adjustment approximates the Index Option Value that will be available on the Term End Date. It is the estimated present value of the future Performance Credit that we will apply on the Term End Date. The Daily Adjustment takes into account any Index gains subject to the applicable Precision Rate, Cap, and/or Participation Rate, or either any Index losses greater than the Buffer or Index losses down to the Floor, but in the form of the estimated present value. Therefore, the Daily Adjustment could result in a loss beyond the protection of the Buffer or Floor. |
Performance Lock (see “What is the Performance Lock?” in this Summary and section 5) | A feature that allows you to capture the current Index Option Value during the Term for each Index Option with the Index Precision Strategy, Index Guard Strategy, and Index Performance Strategy. If we execute a Performance Lock for an Index Option we do not apply the Daily Adjustment to it for the remainder of the Term and the Index Option Value will not receive a Performance Credit on the Term End Date. |
Product and Rider Fees (see the Fee Tables and section 6) | Accrued daily and deducted on each Quarterly Contract • Product fee is 1.25%. • Rider fee is 0.70% for the Income Benefit. • Rider fee is 0.20% for the Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit.If you select this benefit, you will pay |
Other Contract Fees and Expenses (see the Fee Tables and section 6) | • An 8.5% declining withdrawal charge applies to withdrawals taken within six years after receipt of each Purchase Payment during the Accumulation • $50 contract maintenance charge assessed annually if the total Contract Value is less than $100,000. • |
You can withdraw your Contract Value, subject to any applicable withdrawal charge, and federal and state taxation. Withdrawals taken before age 59 1⁄2 may also be subject to a 10% additional federal tax. | |
Free Withdrawal Privilege (see section 7) | Allows you to withdraw 10% of your total Purchase Payments each Contract Year during the Accumulation Phase and before the Income Period without incurring a withdrawal charge. • Any unused free withdrawal privilege in one Contract Year is not added to the amount available in the next Contract Year. • If you withdraw more than the free withdrawal privilege we will assess a withdrawal charge if the withdrawal is taken from a Purchase Payment we received within the last six years. • Not available if you take a full withdrawal of your total Contract |
Systematic Withdrawal Program (see section 7) | • reduce the amount available under the free withdrawal privilege, and • are subject to a withdrawal charge if you exceed the free withdrawal privilege. |
Minimum Distribution Program and Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) Payments (see section 7) | If you own an Individual Retirement Annuity (IRA) • reduce the amount available under the free withdrawal privilege before the Income Period, but • are not subject to a withdrawal charge if you exceed the free withdrawal |
Waiver of Withdrawal Charge Benefit (see section 7) | In most states, this benefit allows you to take a withdrawal without incurring a withdrawal charge if you are confined to a nursing home for a period of at least 90 consecutive days. |
Purchasing a Contract: Key Features at a Glance | |
Annuity Payments (see section 8) | Annuity Payments can provide a guaranteed lifetime fixed income stream with certain tax advantages. We designed the Annuity Payments for Owners who no longer need immediate access to Contract Value to meet their short-term income needs. • We offer five Annuity Options that provide payments for life, life and term certain, or life with refund. • We base Annuity Payments on your Contract Value, the Annuity Option you select, and the lifetime and age of the Annuitant(s). • For an individually owned Contract, Annuity Payments can be either single or joint. |
(see “How Does the Income Benefit Work?” later in this Summary and section 9) | The Income Benefit (0.70% rider fee) is automatically included in your Contract. It provides guaranteed lifetime Income Payments based on a • Once the Income Payment waiting period has expired, Income Payments can begin as early as age 50 or as late as age 100. • Unlike Annuity Payments, the Income Benefit allows access to your Contract Value and death benefit for a • Once Income Payments begin your Crediting Methods are limited to the Index Protection Strategy with DPSC and Index Protection Strategy with Cap. • If you no longer want or need the Income Benefit, you can remove it from your Contract on or after the third Index Anniversary if you have not begun Income Payments and your Contract Value is positive. If you remove the Income Benefit, we stop assessing the Income Benefit rider fee. For information on the terms used to determine your Income Payments, please see the Income Benefit Supplement. |
Death Benefit (see section | When you purchase the Contract you select either the Traditional Death Benefit (no additional fee) or the Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit (0.20% rider fee). In either case, the death benefit is paid upon the first death of any Determining Life during the Accumulation Phase. • We establish the Determining Lives at Contract issue and they generally do not change unless there is a change of ownership due to divorce or establishment of a Trust. • The Determining Life (or Lives) is either the Owner(s) or the Annuitant if the Owner is a non-individual.If a Determining Life dies during the Accumulation Phase your Beneficiary(s) will receive the greater of the Contract Value or the Guaranteed Death Benefit Value. The Guaranteed Death Benefit Value is either: • total Purchase Payments adjusted for withdrawals if you select the Traditional Death Benefit, or • the Maximum Anniversary Value (the highest Contract Value on any Index Anniversary before age 91, adjusted for subsequent Purchase Payments and withdrawals) if you select the Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit. |
• Withdrawals (including Income Payments) reduce your Guaranteed Death Benefit Value proportionately, which means this value may be reduced by more than the amount withdrawn. • The Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit cannot be less than the Traditional Death Benefit, but they can be equal. • If you change Owner(s) the death benefit may be reduced to Contract Value. | |
Material Contract Variations (see Appendix | The product or certain product features may not currently be available in all states or all Contracts, may vary in your state (such as the free look), or may not be available from all selling firms or from all Financial Professionals.

• | If the Index Return is positive, the Protection Credit is equal to the Index Return up to the Cap. |
• | If the Index Value on the Term End Date is equal to or less than the Index Value on the Term Start Date, the Protection Credit is zero. |
• | If the Index Value on the Term End Date is equal to or greater than the Index Value on the Term Start Date, regardless of the amount of actual Index Return, the Performance Credit is equal to the Precision Rate. |
• | If the Index Return is negative and the loss is: |
– | less than or equal to the Buffer, the Performance Credit is zero. We absorb any loss up to the Buffer. |
– | greater than the Buffer, the negative Performance Credit is equal to the negative Index Return in excess of the Buffer. You participate in any losses beyond the Buffer. |
• | If the Index Return is positive, the Performance Credit is equal to the Index Return up to the Cap. |
• | If the Index Value on the Term End Date is equal to the Index Value on the Term Start Date, the Performance Credit is zero. |
• | If the Index Return is negative, the negative Performance Credit is equal to the negative Index Return down to the Floor. You participate in any losses down to the Floor. We absorb any negative Index Return beyond the Floor. |
– | the Index Return up to the Cap for a 1-year Term. |
– | the Index Return up to the Cap for a 3-year Term available to Contracts issued before April 30, 2021. If a 3-year Term is uncapped, the Performance Credit is equal the Index Return. We apply the Cap for the entire Term length; we do not apply the Cap annually on a 3-year. |
– | Index Return multiplied by the Participation Rate, up to the Cap for a 3-year or 6-year Term available to Contracts issued after April 30, 2021. If the 3-year or 6-year Term is uncapped, the Performance Credit is equal to the Index Return multiplied by the Participation Rate. We apply the Participation Rate and Cap for the entire Term length; we do not apply the Participation Rate and Cap annually on a 3-year or 6-year Term. |
• | If the Index Value on the Term End Date is equal to the Index Value on the Term Start Date, the Performance Credit is zero. |
• | If the Index Return is negative and the loss is: |
– | less than or equal to the Buffer, the Performance Credit is zero. We absorb any loss up to the Buffer. We apply the Buffer for the entire Term length; we do not apply the Buffer annually on a 3-year or 6-year Term Index Option. |
– | greater than the Buffer, the negative Performance Credit is equal to the negative Index Return in excess of the Buffer. You participate in any losses beyond the Buffer. |
• The Index Precision Strategy, Index Guard Strategy, and Index Performance Strategy allow negative Performance Credits. A negative Performance Credit means you can lose principal and previous earnings. These losses could be significant. |
• Because we calculate Index Returns only on a single date in time, you may experience negative or flat performance even though the Index you selected for a given Crediting Method experienced gains through some, or most, of the Term. |
• If a 3-year or 6-year Term Index Option is “uncapped” for one Term (i.e., we do not declare a Cap for that Term) it does not mean that we will not declare a Cap for it on future Term Start Dates. On the next Term Start Date we can declare a Cap for the next Term, or declare it to be uncapped. |
What is the asset protection? | |
Index Protection Strategy with DPSC | • Most protection. • If the Index loses value, the Credit is zero. You do not receive a negative Credit. |
Index Protection Strategy with Cap | • Most protection. • If the Index loses value, the Credit is zero. You do not receive a negative Credit. |
Index Precision Strategy | • Less protection than the Index Protection Strategy with DPSC, Index Protection Strategy with Cap, and Index Guard Strategy. Protection may be more or less than what is available with the Index Performance Strategy depending on Buffers. • Buffer absorbs a percentage of loss, but you receive a negative Performance Credit for losses greater than the Buffer. • Potential for large losses in any Term. • More sensitive to large negative market movements because small negative market movements are absorbed by the Buffer. In a period of extreme negative market performance, the risk of loss is greater with the Index Precision Strategy than with the Index Guard Strategy. |
Index Guard Strategy | • Less protection than the Index Protection Strategy with DPSC and Index Protection Strategy with Cap, but more than Index Precision Strategy and Index Performance Strategy. • Permits a negative Performance Credit down to the Floor. • Protection from significant losses. • More sensitive to smaller negative market movements that persist over time because the Floor reduces the impact of large negative market movements. • In an extended period of smaller negative market returns, the risk of loss is greater with the Index Guard Strategy than with the Index Performance Strategy and Index Precision Strategy. • Provides certainty regarding the maximum loss in any Term. |
What is the asset protection? | |
Index Performance Strategy | • Less protection than the Index Protection Strategy with DPSC, Index Protection Strategy with Cap, and Index Guard Strategy. Protection may be more or less than what is available with the Index Precision Strategy depending on Buffers. • Buffers may be different between 1-year, 3-year, and 6-year Terms. Buffers can also be different between Index Options with the same Term Length. • Buffer absorbs a percentage of loss, but you receive a negative Performance Credit for losses greater than the Buffer. • Potential for large losses in any Term. • More sensitive to large negative market movements because small negative market movements are absorbed by the Buffer. In a period of extreme negative market performance, the risk of loss is greater with the Index Performance Strategy than with the Index Guard Strategy. • In extended periods of moderate to large negative market performance, 3-year and 6-year Terms may provide less protection than the 1-year Terms because, in part, the Buffer is applied over a longer period of time. |
What is the growth opportunity? | |
Index Protection Strategy with DPSC | • Growth opportunity limited by the DPSCs. • Least growth opportunity. • May perform best in periods of small positive market movements. • DPSCs will generally be less than the Precision Rates and Caps. |
Index Protection Strategy with Cap | • Growth opportunity limited by the Caps. • May perform best in periods of small positive market movements. • Generally more growth opportunity than the Index Protection Strategy with DPSC, but less than the Index Precision Strategy, Index Guard Strategy, and Index Performance Strategy. • Caps will generally be greater than DPSCs, but less than the Precision Rates and Caps for the Index Guard Strategy and Index Performance Strategy. |
Index Precision Strategy | • Growth opportunity limited by the Precision Rates. • May perform best in periods of small positive market movements. • Generally more growth opportunity than the Index Protection Strategy with DPSC and Index Protection Strategy with Cap, but less than the Index Performance Strategy. • Growth opportunity may be more or less than the Index Guard Strategy depending on Precision Rates and Caps. |
Index Guard Strategy | • Growth opportunity limited by the Caps. • May perform best in a strong market. • Growth opportunity that generally may be matched or exceeded only by the Index Performance Strategy. However, growth opportunity may be more or less than the Index Precision Strategy or Index Performance Strategy depending on Precision Rates and Caps. |
Index Performance Strategy | • Growth opportunity limited by the Caps and/or Participation Rates. If we do not declare a Cap for a 3-year or 6-year Term Index Option there is no maximum limit on the positive Index Return for that Index Option. In addition, you can receive more than the positive Index Return if the Participation Rate applies and is greater than its 100% minimum. • May perform best in a strong market. • Generally the most growth opportunity. However, growth opportunity may be less than the Index Precision Strategy or Index Guard Strategy depending on Precision Rates, Caps, and/or Participation Rates. |
What can change within a Crediting Method? | |
Index Protection Strategy with DPSC | • Renewal DPSCs for existing Contracts can change on each Term Start Date. • DPSCs are subject to a |
Index Protection Strategy with Cap | • Renewal Caps for existing Contracts can change on each Term Start Date. • Caps are subject to a 0.50% minimum. |
What can change within a Crediting Method? | |
Index Precision Strategy | • Renewal Precision Rates for existing Contracts can change on each Term Start Date. • If we add a new Index Option to your Contract after the Issue Date, we establish the Buffer for it on the date we add the Index Option to your Contract. Your actual Buffers cannot change once they are established. • Precision Rates are subject to a |
Index Guard Strategy | • Renewal Caps for existing Contracts can change on each Term Start Date. • If we add a new Index Option to your Contract after the Issue Date, we establish the Floor for it on the date we add the Index Option to your Contract.

Your actual Buffers cannot change once they are established. • Caps are subject to a |
• For any Index Option with the Index Precision Strategy or Index Performance Strategy, you participate in any negative Index Return in excess of the Buffer, which reduces your Contract Value. For example, if we set the Buffer at 5% we would absorb the first -5% of Index Return and you could lose up to 95% of the Index Option Value. However, for any Index Option with the Index Guard Strategy, we absorb any negative Index Return in excess of the Floor. For example, if we set the Floor at -25%, your maximum loss would be limited to -25% of the Index Option Value due to negative Index Returns. |
• The minimum Buffer and Floor are the least amount of protection that you could receive from negative Index Returns for any Index Option with the Index Precision Strategy, Index Guard Strategy, or Index Performance Strategy. |
• DPSCs, Precision Rates, Caps, and Participation Rates as set by us from time-to-time may vary substantially based on market conditions. However, in extreme market environments, it is possible that all DPSCs, Precision Rates, Caps, and Participation Rates will be reduced to their respective minimums of |
• Buffers, Floors, DPSCs, Precision Rates, Caps, and Participation Rates can be different from Index Option to Index Option. For example, Caps for the Index Performance Strategy 1-year Terms can be different between the S&P 500® Index and the Nasdaq-100® Index, and Caps for the S&P 500® Index can be different between 1-year and 3-year Terms on the Index Performance Strategy, and between the 1-year Terms for the Index Guard Strategy and Index Performance Strategy. They may also be different from Contract-to-Contract depending on the Index Effective Date and the state of issuance. |
Historical information on the Buffers, Floors, DPSCs, Precision Rates, Caps, and Participation Rates is provided in Appendix C. This information is for historical purposes only and is not a representation as to future Buffers, Floors, DPSCs, Precision Rates, Caps, and Participation Rates. |
• If your Contract is within its free look period you may be able to take advantage of any increase in initial DPSCs, Precision Rates, Caps, and/or Participation Rates by cancelling your Contract and purchasing a new Contract. |
• DPSCs, Precision Rates, Caps, and Participation Rates may be different between newly issued and existing Contracts, and between existing Contracts issued on the same month and day in different years. For example, assume that in |
– 13% initial rate for new Contracts issued in |
– 14% renewal rate for existing Contracts issued in |
– 12% renewal rate for existing Contracts issued in |

– | On each Business Day during the Term other than the Term Start Date or Term End Date, we calculate the current Index Option Value for each Index Option with the Index Precision Strategy, Index Guard Strategy, and Index Performance Strategy by adding a Daily Adjustment to the Index Option Base. The Index Option Base is the amount you allocate to an Index Option adjusted for withdrawals, deduction of Contract fees and expenses, transfers into or out of the Index Option, and the application of any Credits. |
– | During the Term the Index Option Values for Index Options with the Index Protection Strategy with DPSC and Index Protection Strategy with Cap do not change for Index performance, and do not receive the Daily Adjustment. |

We will not provide advice or notify you regarding whether you should exercise a Performance Lock or the optimal time for doing so.

• | An Income Percentage for each payment type using the Eligible Person’s current age, or younger Eligible Person’s current age for joint payments. This Income Percentage is also the initial Lifetime Income Percentage for each payment type. |
• | An Income Percentage Increase for each Eligible Person based on their current age (or younger Eligible Person’s current age for joint payments). However, if there are two Eligible Person(s) the Index Options Statement will not display a single Lifetime Income Percentage for an Eligible Person who is only a Beneficiary, because only an Eligible Person who is also an Owner (or Annuitant if the Owner is a non-individual) can become a Covered Person if you select single payments. |
• | you will not receive an increase to a Lifetime Income Percentage based on that Eligible Person until the Index Anniversary that the Eligible Person (or younger Eligible Person for joint payments) reaches age 45, and |
• | you will pay a rider fee during the period you are not eligible for an Income Percentage Increase. |
• | the Income Percentage for the Eligible Person’s current age, and |

• YOU SHOULD NOT PURCHASE THIS CONTRACT WITHOUT FIRST OBTAINING THE CURRENT INCOME BENEFIT SUPPLEMENT.We publish any changes to the Income Benefit Supplement at least seven calendar days before they take effect on our website at www.allianzlife.com/indexincomerates. |
• Income Payments are based on Contract Value, not a guaranteed value. Decreases in Contract Value due to negative Index performance during the Accumulation Phase up to and including the Income Benefit Date, deductions for Contract fees and expenses, and withdrawals, also decrease the Income Payment amount available to you. |
• Please discuss the Income Benefit’s appropriateness with your Financial Professional and tax adviser. |

– | you annuitize your Contract. However, we can convert your Income Payment to Annuity Payments as described in section 8, The Annuity Phase – When Annuity Payments Begin. |
• | If you begin Income Payments before age 59 1⁄2, the payments will generally be subject to a 10% additional federal tax. |
• | Any part of your annual maximum Income Payment that you do not withdraw in a given Income Benefit Year remains in your Contract for the remainder of that year, but is not added to the annual maximum payment available next year. |
• | Excess Withdrawals reduce your annual maximum Income Payment by the percentage of Contract Value withdrawn (including any withdrawal charge) on the next Income Benefit Anniversary. |
• | You cannot make additional Purchase Payments and any active automatic investment plan ends. If your Contract includes the Traditional Death Benefit your Guaranteed Death Benefit Value no longer increases. |
• | The Contract Value continues to fluctuate as a result of Index Option performance. However, only the Index Protection Strategy with DPSC and Index Protection Strategy with Cap are available to you. This may limit your Contract’s performance potential, and if your Contract includes the Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit, this may also limit your Guaranteed Death Benefit Value. |
• | The Contract Value decreases on a dollar for dollar basis with each Income Payment, Excess Withdrawal, and any Contract expenses we deduct. If your Contract includes the Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit, this also reduces the likelihood of locking in investment gains to your Guaranteed Death Benefit Value. |
• | Each Income Payment and any Excess Withdrawal also reduces your Guaranteed Death Benefit Value by the percentage of Contract Value withdrawn (including any withdrawal charge), which means this value may be reduced by more than the amount withdrawn. |
• | The Income Benefit rider fee continues until the Business Day the Contract Value reduces to zero, you annuitize the Contract, or the Income Benefit ends. |
• | If your Contract also includes the Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit, its rider fee continues as indicated in section 6, Expenses. |
• | The free withdrawal privilege is no longer available and any systematic withdrawal program ends. |
• | If your Contract Value reduces to zero during the Income Period for any reason other than an Excess Withdrawal or annuitization that does not convert your Income Payments to Annuity Payments, you will continue to receive your maximum available Income Payment at the previous selected payment frequency until the earlier of the death of the Owner or last surviving Covered Person. |
The COVID-19 pandemic has at times led to significant volatility and negative returns in the financial markets. These market conditions have impacted the performance of the Indexes to which the Index Options are linked, as well as securities held by the |
• | interest rate decreases, |
• | dividend rate increases, |
• | poor market performance, and |
the expected volatility of Index prices. Increases in the expected volatility of Index prices negatively affect the Index Precision Strategy and Index Performance Strategy with 1-year Terms, while decreases in the expected volatility of Index prices negatively affect the Index Guard Strategy. For the Index Performance Strategy with 3-year and 6-year Terms, and Index Protection Strategy with Cap, the impact of changes in the expected volatility of Index prices is dependent on the market environment and the applicable Caps and Participation Rates. For the Index Protection Strategy with DPSC, the impact of changes in the expected volatility of Index prices is dependent on the market environment. |

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, economic uncertainties have arisen which could negatively impact Allianz Life’s net income and surplus. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our business (including our ability to timely process applications or claims), net income, and surplus, as well as our capital and liquidity position, will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be estimated, including the scope and duration of the pandemic and actions taken by governmental authorities and other third parties in response to the pandemic. |

• The Charge Base is equal to your initial Purchase Payment.• We begin calculating and accruing the daily product fee, and rider fee if applicable, on the day after the Issue Date. | • First we calculate and accrue the daily product and rider fees, using the Charge Base. If this is a non-Business Day we use the Charge Base from the end of the prior Business Day.• Then if this is a Business Day we increase/decrease the Charge Base as follows. – If we receive an additional Purchase Payment, we increase the Charge Base by the amount we receive. – If you take a partial withdrawal (including a Penalty-Free Withdrawal), or we withdraw Contract fees and expenses, we decrease the Charge Base by the percentage of Contract Value withdrawn. | • First we process all daily transactions and determine your Contract Value.

Example: Contract Value is $125,000; Charge Base is $127,000; a $10,000 partial withdrawal (including any withdrawal charge) would decrease the Charge Base by $10,160. [($10,000 ÷ $125,000) x $127,000] Any increase/decrease to the Charge Base will increase/decrease the daily product and rider fees we calculate and accrue on the next day. | ||
Examples of how we calculate the product and rider fees are included in Appendix E. |
We do not treat the deduction of the accrued product and rider fees as a withdrawal when computing your Guaranteed Death Benefit Value (see section |
• | If you take a full withdrawal of the total Contract Value, we deduct the final accrued product and rider fees before processing the withdrawal. |
• | If you annuitize the Contract, we deduct the final accrued product and rider fees before calculating Annuity Payments. |
• | Upon the death of an Owner (or Annuitant if the Owner is a non-individual), we deduct the final accrued rider fee for the Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit before calculating the death benefit, and we deduct the final accrued product fee before calculating the death benefit if death benefit payment Option A or Annuity Payments under death benefit payment Option C is selected. If the Income Benefit ends due to death, we also deduct its final rider fee before calculating the death benefit. |
If on a Quarterly Contract Anniversary (or the next Business Day if the Quarterly Contract Anniversary is a non-Business Day) the Contract Value is less than the accrued product and rider fees, we deduct your total remaining Contract Value to cover the accrued product and rider fees and reduce your Contract Value to zero.

Calculating a Withdrawal Charge | Example | |||
For purposes of calculating any withdrawal charge, we withdraw Purchase Payments on a “first-in-first-out” (FIFO) basis and we process withdrawal requests as follows. | You make an initial Purchase Payment of | |||
1. First we withdraw from Purchase Payments that we have had for six or more complete years, which is your Contract’s withdrawal charge period. This withdrawal is not subject to a withdrawal charge and it reduces the Withdrawal Charge Basis. | 1. Purchase Payments beyond the withdrawal charge period. All payments are still within the withdrawal charge period, so this does not apply. | |||
2. Then, if this is a partial withdrawal during the Accumulation Phase and before the Income Period, we withdraw from the free withdrawal privilege (see section 7, Access to Your Money – Free Withdrawal Privilege). This withdrawal is not subject to a withdrawal charge and it does not reduce the Withdrawal Charge Basis. | 2. Amounts available under the free withdrawal privilege. You did not take any other withdrawals this year, so you can withdraw up to 10% of your total payments (or $10,000) without incurring a withdrawal charge. | |||
3. Next, on a FIFO basis, we withdraw from Purchase Payments within your Contract’s withdrawal charge period and assess a withdrawal charge. Withdrawing payments on a FIFO basis may help reduce the total withdrawal charge because the charge declines over time. We determine your total withdrawal charge by multiplying each payment by its applicable withdrawal charge percentage and then totaling the charges. This withdrawal reduces the Withdrawal Charge Basis. The withdrawal charge as a percentage of each Purchase Payment withdrawn is as follows. | 3. Purchase Payments within the withdrawal charge period on a FIFO basis. The total amount we withdraw from the first Purchase Payment is (amount withdrawn) x (1 – withdrawal charge) = the amount you receive, or: $ Next we withdraw from the second Purchase Payment. So far, you received (the amount you receive) ÷ (1 – withdrawal charge) = amount withdrawn, or: $ | |||
Number of Complete Years Since Purchase Payment | Withdrawal Charge Amount | |||
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 years or more | 8.5% 8% 7% 6% 5% 4% 0% | |||
4. Finally we withdraw any Contract earnings. This withdrawal is not subject to a withdrawal charge and it does not reduce the Withdrawal Charge Basis. | 4. Contract earnings. We already withdrew your requested amount, so this does not apply. In total we withdrew |
• We do not reduce the Withdrawal Charge Basis for Penalty-Free Withdrawals or the deduction of Contract expenses other than the withdrawal charge. This means that upon a full withdrawal, if your Contract Value is less than your remaining Purchase Payments that are still subject to a withdrawal charge we will assess a withdrawal charge on more than the amount withdrawn. This can occur because your Contract Value was reduced for: |
– prior Penalty-Free Withdrawals, |
– deductions of Contract expenses other than the withdrawal charge, and/or |
– poor performance. |
This also means that upon a full withdrawal you may not receive any money. |
• Withdrawals may also be subject to ordinary income taxes, and a 10% additional federal tax if you are under age 59 1⁄2, and the amount of Contract Value available for withdrawal may be affected by the Daily Adjustment (which can be negative). |
• For tax purposes in most instances, withdrawals from Non-Qualified Contracts are considered to come from earnings first, not Purchase Payments. |

• We may be required to provide information about you or your Contract to government regulators. We may also be required to stop Contract disbursements and thereby refuse any transfer requests, and refuse to pay any withdrawals, surrenders, or death benefits until we receive instructions from the appropriate regulator. If, pursuant to SEC rules, the AZL Government Money Market Fund suspends payment of redemption proceeds in connection with a fund liquidation, we will delay payment of any transfer, partial withdrawal, surrender, or death benefit from the AZL Government Money Market Fund subaccount until the fund is liquidated. |

If you do not choose an Annuity Option before the Annuity Date, we make Annuity Payments to the Payee under Annuity Option 2 with ten years of guaranteed monthly payments. |
• If Annuity Payments would be less than $100, we reserve the right to require you to take a full withdrawal and your Contract will then terminate. |
• If on the Annuity Date (which may occur as early as age 90 or as late as age 100) your Contract Value is greater than zero, you must annuitize the Contract. We notify you of your available options in writing 60 days in advance, including the option to extend your Annuity Date if available. If on your Annuity Date you have not selected an Annuity Option, we make payments under Annuity Option 2 with ten years of guaranteed monthly payments. Upon annuitization you no longer have Contract Value or a death benefit, and you cannot receive any other periodic withdrawals or payments other than Annuity Payments. |
• For Contracts in the Income Period: We will convert your Income Payments to Annuity Payments if your Contract Value is greater than zero and you take Annuity Payments under Annuity Option 1 or 3 as follows. |
For single Income Payments, if you choose Annuity Option 1 (Life Annuity) the sole Covered Person becomes the sole Annuitant and your Annuity Payments are equal to the greater of: |
– annual Annuity Payments under Annuity Option 1 based on the Contract Value; or |
– the current annual maximum Income Payment available to you. |
For joint Income Payments, if you choose Annuity Option 3 (Joint and Last Survivor Annuity) with Annuity Payments to continue at a level of 100% to the surviving joint Annuitant, the joint Covered Persons become the joint Annuitants and your Annuity Payments are equal to the greater of: |
– annual Annuity Payments under Annuity Option 3 based on the Contract Value; or |
– the current annual maximum Income Payment available to you. |
If you select any other Annuity Option, we will not convert your Income Payments to Annuity Payments. This means you may receive less as Annuity Payments than you would have received as Income Payments. You should consult with your Financial Professional before requesting Annuity Payments. On request we provide illustrations showing you the amount of Annuity Payments you could receive. |
If we convert your Income Payments to Annuity Payments: |
– On the Annuity Date we establish a “remaining value” equal to your Contract Value. Each Annuity Payment reduces the remaining value by the dollar amount paid. Upon the death of the last surviving Annuitant, we will pay any remaining value to the named Beneficiary(s). |
– If you selected the Increasing Income payout option, your Annuity Payments will increase on each Index Anniversary if your selected Index Options receive a DPSC or Protection Credit as described in section 9. |
– If you have a Non-Qualified Contract, these Annuity Payments will receive the benefit of the exclusion ratio, which causes a portion of each Annuity Payment to be non-taxable as described in section 11, Taxes – Taxation of Annuity Contracts. |
• | the Index Anniversary that Income Payments can begin once the Eligible Person(s) reaches age 50, |
• | the last Index Anniversary that joint Income Payments will be available because the older Eligible Person is reaching age 100 if there are two Eligible Persons, and |
• | the last Index Anniversary that Income Payments will be available because the younger Eligible Person is reaching age 100. |
• If Income Payments do not begin by the Index Anniversary upon which the younger Eligible Person reaches age 100, the Income Benefit ends. |
• If the Income Benefit ends before Income Payments begin, you will have paid for the benefit without receiving any of its advantages. |
• | The Level Income Guarantee Payment Percentage based on the Covered Person’s current age (or the younger Covered Person’s current age for joint payments) multiplied by total Purchase Payments adjusted for withdrawals. Withdrawals reduce total Purchase Payments by the percentage of Contract Value withdrawn, determined at the end of each Business Day. Withdrawals include all withdrawals (even Penalty-Free Withdrawals) and any withdrawal charges, but not amounts we withdraw for other Contract fees and expenses. |
• | The Lifetime Income Percentage for the payment type you select multiplied by the Contract Value determined at the end of the Business Day after we deduct the product fee, rider fee, and contract maintenance charge and apply any Credits, but before we make any Income Payments or deduct Excess Withdrawals. |
If you have Contract Value in a 3-year or 6-year Term Index Option and the Income Benefit Date is not a Term End Date, we will execute a Performance Lock for that Index Option if it is not locked and then immediately calculate and begin your Income Payments. This means you may not receive the full benefit of the Buffer that you would have received if you had waited until the Term End Date to begin Income Payments. |

• For Qualified Contracts: If we calculate a required minimum distribution (RMD) based on this Contract, after making all Income Payments for the calendar year we determine whether this calendar year’s total RMD has been satisfied by these payments and any Excess Withdrawals. If the RMD amount for this Contract has not been satisfied, we send you this remaining amount as one RMD payment by the end of the calendar year. We consider this payment to be a withdrawal, but it is not an Excess Withdrawal and it is not subject to a withdrawal charge. |
• For annuitization: If on the Annuity Date you are receiving Income Payments and your Contract Value is positive, we will convert your Income Payments to Annuity Payments if you take Annuity Payments under Annuity Option 1 or 3. If you select any other Annuity Option, we will not convert your Income Payments to Annuity Payments. This means that if you annuitize your Contract you may receive less as Annuity Payments than you would have received as Income Payments. For more information, see section 8, The Annuity Phase – When Annuity Payments Begin. |

If we increase the Contract Value to equal the death benefit due to a spousal continuation of the Contract during the last Income Benefit Year, we also subtract the amount of this increase from the Contract Value on the next Income Benefit Anniversary when determining annual payment increases under the Level Income option. |

During the Income Period: |
• You cannot make additional Purchase Payments. If your Contract includes the Traditional Death Benefit this means the Guaranteed Death Benefit Value no longer increases. |
• Index Precision Strategy, Index Performance Strategy, and Index Guard Strategy are no longer available. This may limit your Contract’s performance potential and the Guaranteed Death Benefit Value if your Contract includes the Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit. Income Payments and Excess Withdrawals also decrease your Contract Value, which also reduces the likelihood of locking in investment gains to the Guaranteed Death Benefit Value if your Contract includes the Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit. |
• Each Income Payment and any Excess Withdrawal reduces the Guaranteed Death Benefit Value by the percentage of Contract Value withdrawn (including any withdrawal charge), which means this value may be reduced by more than the amount withdrawn.

(1) | A retention bonus of $800,000 will be paid over four years in increments of $200,000 with the first payment paid in March 2019 and the final payment in 2022 so long as Ms. Jirele remains employed by Allianz Life. |
(2) | Represents the grant date fair value of the RSUs issued pursuant to the AEI. The RSUs vest over a four-year period. The RSUs issued in 2021 for the 2020 performance year have a March 2025 exercise date. The grant price of the RSUs was the arithmetic average of the closing prices of an |
Allianz SE share in the electronic cash market trading system Xetra (or any successor system) on the date of grant and the nine immediately preceding trading days, less the present value of dividends expected to be paid on one Allianz SE share over the vesting period, and less the fair value of the payout restrictions deriving from the vesting period and the payout cap. These numbers show the amount realized for financial reporting purposes as calculated in accordance with the FASB ASC Topic 718. Under FASB ASC Topic 718, the grant date fair value is calculated using the closing market price of the common stock of Allianz SE on the date of grant, which is then recognized over the requisite service period of the award. | |

• | Difficult Economic Conditions. Our financial condition is materially affected by conditions in the global capital markets and the economy generally. During an economic downturn, the demand for our financial insurance products and services could be adversely affected. In addition, an economic downturn could cause the number and amount of surrenders and withdrawals under our insurance products to increase significantly, and owners of our insurance products may choose to defer making purchase payments or paying insurance premiums or stop them altogether. |
• | Unfavorable Interest Rate Environments. During periods of declining interest rates, we may experience financial losses as the spread between interest rates that we credit to customers under our insurance products and returns on our investments tighten. The ongoing low interest rate environment presents challenges for us and other life insurance companies, as it has generally reduced investment returns, raised the value of future obligations, and challenged asset-liability matching. During periods of increasing interest rates, we may experience financial losses due to increases in surrenders and withdrawals under our insurance products as our customers choose to forgo insurance protection in favor of potentially higher returns. Although we take measures to manage economic risks associated with different interest rate environments, we may not be able to fully mitigate those risks. |
• | Losses on Fixed Maturity Investments. Our fixed maturity investments are subject to interest rate risk and credit risk. Interest rate risk refers to how the values of our fixed maturity investments fluctuate in response to changes in market interest rates. Increases and decreases in prevailing interest rates generally result in decreases and increases, respectively, in the values of our fixed maturity investments. Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its commitments to us under a fixed maturity investment. See “Defaults by Counterparties” below. |
• | Losses on Equity Investments. Our equity investments are generally valued based on quoted market prices and are subject to market risk. Market risk refers to how market prices for equity investments are subject to fluctuation. A downward fluctuation in the market price for an equity investment could result in losses upon the sale of that investment. Fluctuations in market prices may result from, among other things, actual or perceived changes in the attractiveness of specific investments or in general market conditions. |
• | Losses on Real Estate Investments. A portion of our investment portfolio consists of mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities related to commercial, agricultural and residential real estate. The value of our real estate investments may be negatively impacted by general economic conditions in the real estate sector, including supply and demand, market volatility, and interest rate fluctuations, as well as the creditworthiness of obligors. |
• | Losses upon the Sale of Illiquid Investments. We hold certain investments that may lack liquidity, such as privately placed fixed maturity investments, mortgage loans, collateralized debt obligations, commercial mortgage-backed securities, equity real estate and limited partnership interests. Although we seek to minimize the likelihood that we would need to sell illiquid investments, if we were required to liquidate these investments on short notice, we may have difficulty doing so and may be forced to sell them for less than their fair value. |
• | Loss of Market Share to Competitors. There is strong competition among insurers, banks, brokerage firms and other financial institutions and providers seeking clients for the types of products and services that we provide. A loss of market share to our competitors could result in financial losses to our business. Our ability to successfully compete is dependent on numerous factors, some of which include the successful implementation of our business strategy, our financial strength, the attractiveness of our products and services, our relationships with distributors, and our reputation. Our ability to compete may also be hindered if our competitors obtain or seek to enforce intellectual property rights against us, or if we are otherwise precluded from offering products or services that are in demand. Our ability to compete may also be hindered if we are not able to protect or enforce our own intellectual property rights. |
• | Defaults by Counterparties. Third-parties that owe us money, securities, or other assets may not fulfill their obligations to us. These parties may include issuers of investments that we may hold, borrowers under loans that we may hold or extend, counterparties under swap and other derivative contracts and other third-parties (e.g., customers, trading counterparties, brokers, dealers, banks, investment funds, clearing agents, exchanges and clearing houses). In addition, with respect to secured transactions, the risk of default may be exacerbated when the collateral held by us cannot be liquidated or is liquidated at a price that is not sufficient to cover the full amount owed to us. A party may default on its obligations for a variety of reasons, including bankruptcy, lack of liquidity, downturns in the economy or real estate market and operational failure. General economic conditions and trends may also result in increased defaults. |
• | Impairments of Other Financial Institutions. We routinely execute transactions with counterparties in the financial services industry, including brokers, dealers, commercial banks, investment banks, insurers, reinsurers and other investment and financial institutions. A disruption to, or decline in the financial condition of, such financial institutions may expose us to financial losses. |
• | Payments through Guaranty Associations. When an insurance company becomes insolvent, state insurance guaranty associations have the right to assess other insurance companies doing business in their state for funds to pay obligations to policyholders of the insolvent company, up to the state-specified limit of coverage. The future failure of a large life, health or annuity insurer could trigger assessments which we would be obligated to pay. Further, amounts for historical insolvencies may be assessed over many years, and there can be significant uncertainty around the total obligation for a given insolvency. |
• | Ineffectiveness of Risk Management Policies. Our risk management policies and procedures intended to identify, monitor and manage economic risks may not be fully effective at mitigating our risk exposure in all market environments or against all types of risk. This could cause us to incur investment losses or cause our hedging and other risk management strategies to be ineffective. |
• | reductions in new sales of insurance products, annuities and other investment products; |
• | increases in our cost of capital or limitations on our access to sources of capital; |
• | harm to our relationships with distributors and sales specialists; |
• | material increases in the number or amount of surrenders and withdrawals under our insurance products; |
• | pressure on us to reduce prices or increase crediting rates for many of our insurance products; and |
• | harm to our ability to obtain reinsurance or obtain reasonable pricing for reinsurance. |
• | training and educating our employees regarding our obligations relating to confidential information; |
• | monitoring changes in state or federal privacy and compliance requirements; |
• | drafting appropriate contractual provisions into any contract that raises proprietary and confidentiality issues; |
• | maintaining secure storage facilities for tangible records; |
• | limiting access to electronic information; and |
• | in the event of a security breach, providing credit monitoring or other services to affected customers. |
• | Economic conditions and uncertainties may negatively impact the value, cash flow, and liquidity of our general account investments due to, e.g., market volatility, reduced liquidity, changes in interest rates, economic shutdowns or slowdowns, government regulations, and counterparty defaults. |
• | Voluntary or government mandated hardship assistance that we provide to our customers in the form of, e.g., grace periods for failure to make timely payments, may reduce our net income and surplus. |
• | Reductions in new sales of our financial products or reductions in fees collected by us, or increases in surrenders, cancellations, or defaults with respect to our customers’ existing financial products, as a result of economic conditions and uncertainties may reduce our net income and surplus. |
• | Economic conditions and uncertainties may limit our access to sources of capital and our ability to obtain reinsurance. |
• | Voluntary and government mandated pandemic mitigation efforts, such as prolonged remote working arrangements and economic shutdowns, and employees’ ability or willingness to fulfill their responsibilities during the pandemic, may disrupt our ability to administer our insurance contracts (including our ability to timely process applications, transactions, and payments and to calculate values) and may disrupt the services provided by third-parties upon which we rely to administer our insurance contracts. |

ARTICLE XI. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES | ||
SECTION 1. RIGHT TO INDEMNIFICATION: | ||
(a) | Subject to the conditions of this Article and any conditions or limitations imposed by applicable law, the Corporation shall indemnify any employee, director or officer of the Corporation (an "Indemnified Person") who was, is, or in the sole opinion of the Corporation, may reasonably become a party to or otherwise involved in any Proceeding by reason of the fact that such Indemnified Person is or was: | |
(i) | a director of the Corporation; or | |
(ii) | acting in the course and scope of his or her duties as an officer or employee of the Corporation; or | |
(iii) | rendering Professional Services at the request of and for the benefit of the Corporation; or | |
(iv) | serving at the request of the Corporation as an officer, director, fiduciary or member of another corporation, association, committee, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise (an "Outside Organization"). | |
(b) | Notwithstanding the foregoing, no officer, director or employee shall be indemnified pursuant to these bylaws under the following circumstances: | |
(i) | in connection with a Proceeding initiated by such person, in his or her own personal capacity, unless such initiation was authorized by the Board of Directors; | |
(ii) | if a court of competent jurisdiction finally determines that any indemnification hereunder is unlawful; | |
(iii) | for acts or omissions involving intentional misconduct or knowing and culpable violation of law; | |
(iv) | for acts or omissions that the Indemnified Person believes to be contrary to the best interests of the Corporation or its shareholders or that involve the absence of good faith on the part of the Indemnified Person; | |
(v) | for any transaction for which the Indemnified Person derived an improper personal benefit; | |
(vi) | for acts or omissions that show a reckless disregard for the Indemnified Person's duty to the Corporation or its shareholders in circumstances in which the Indemnified Person was aware or should have been aware, in the ordinary course of performing the Indemnified Person's duties, of the risk of serious injury to the Corporation or its shareholders; | |
(vii) | for acts or omissions that constitute an unexcused pattern of inattention that amounts to an abdication of the Indemnified Person's duties to the Corporation or its shareholders; | |
(viii) | in circumstances where indemnification is prohibited by applicable law; | |
(ix) | in the case of service as an officer, director, fiduciary or member of an Outside Organization, where the Indemnified Person was aware or should have been aware that the conduct in question was outside the scope of the assignment as contemplated by the Corporation. |
SECTION 2. SCOPE OF INDEMNIFICATION: | |
(a) | Indemnification provided pursuant to Section 1(a)(iv) shall be secondary and subordinate to indemnification or insurance provided to an Indemnified Person by an Outside Organization or other source, if any. |
(b) | Indemnification shall apply to all reasonable expenses, liability and losses, actually incurred or suffered by an Indemnified Person in connection with a Proceeding, including without limitation, attorneys' fees and any expenses of establishing a right to indemnification or advancement under this article, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties, amounts paid or to be paid in settlement and all interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of such expense, liability and loss. |
(c) | Such indemnification shall continue as to any Indemnified Person who has ceased to be an employee, director or officer of the Corporation and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, estate, executors and administrators. |
SECTION 3. DEFINITIONS: | |
(a) | "Corporation" for the purpose of Article XI shall mean Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America and all of its subsidiaries. |
(b) | "Proceeding" shall mean any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit or proceeding whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or otherwise, including actions by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor. |
(c) | "Professional Services" shall mean services rendered pursuant to (i) a professional actuarial designation, (ii) a license to engage in the practice of law issued by a State Bar Institution or (iii) a Certified Public Accountant designation issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. |
Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted for directors and officers or controlling persons of the Insurance Company pursuant to the foregoing, or otherwise, the Insurance Company 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, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Insurance Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Insurance Company 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 Company 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. |

Transition Representation Letter |
(1) | To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement: | |
(i) | To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; | |
(ii) | To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement. | |
(iii) | To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement. | |
(2) | That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. | |
(3) | To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. |
(4) | That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use. | |
(5) | That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities: The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser: | |
(i) | Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; | |
(ii) | Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant; | |
(iii) | The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and | |
(iv) | Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser. | |
(6) | Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933 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. |
