Indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the

against such liabilities (other than for AIG SunAmerica Life's payment of
expenses incurred or paid by its directors, officers or controlling persons in
the successful defense of any legal action) is asserted by a director, officer
or controlling person of AIG SunAmerica Life in connection with the securities
registered under this prospectus, AIG SunAmerica Life will submit to a court
with jurisdiction to determine whether the indemnification is against public
policy under the Act. AIG SunAmerica Life will be governed by final judgment of
the issue. However, if in the opinion of AIG SunAmerica Life's counsel this
issue has been determined by controlling precedent, AIG SunAmerica Life will not
submit the issue to a court for determination.

The Polaris(II) A-Class Variable Annuity is a contract between you and AIG
SunAmerica Life Assurance Company ("AIG SunAmerica Life"). It is designed to
help you invest on a tax-deferred basis and 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 and fixed account
options. 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 period is required in your state). You will receive whatever your
contract is worth on the day that we receive your request plus any sales charge
we deducted. The amount refunded may be more or less than your original Purchase
Payment. We will return your original Purchase Payment if required by law.
Please see PURCHASING A POLARIS(II) A-CLASS VARIABLE ANNUITY in the prospectus.
EXPENSES: There are fees and charges associated with the contract. We deduct
separate account charges which equal 0.85% annually of the average daily 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 those
features. We apply an up-front sales charge against Gross Purchase Payments you
make to your contract. The sales charge equals a percentage of each Gross
Purchase Payment and varies with your investment amount. Please see the FEE
TABLE, PURCHASING A POLARIS(II) A-CLASS VARIABLE ANNUITY and EXPENSES in the
prospectus.
ACCESS TO YOUR MONEY: You may withdraw money from your contract during the
Accumulation Phase. If you do so, earnings are deemed to be withdrawn first. You
will pay income taxes on earnings and untaxed contributions when you withdraw
them. 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. Please see ACCESS TO YOUR MONEY and TAXES in the
prospectus.
DEATH BENEFIT: A death benefit feature is available under the contract to
protect your Beneficiaries in the event of your death during the Accumulation
Phase. Please see DEATH BENEFITS in the prospectus.
INCOME OPTIONS: When you are ready to begin taking income, you can choose to
receive income payments on a variable basis, fixed basis or a combination of
both. You may also chose from five different income options, including an option
for income that you cannot outlive. Please see INCOME OPTIONS in the prospectus.

THE POLARIS(II) A-CLASS VARIABLE ANNUITY
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
An annuity is a contract between you and an insurance company. You are the owner
of the contract. The contract provides three main benefits:
- Tax Deferral: This means that you do not pay taxes on your earnings from
the annuity until you withdraw them.
- Death Benefit: If you die during the Accumulation Phase, the insurance
company pays a death benefit to your Beneficiary.
- Guaranteed Income: If elected, you receive a stream of income for your
lifetime, or another available period you select.
Tax-qualified retirement plans (e.g., IRAs, 401(k) or 403(b) plans) defer
payment of taxes on earnings until withdrawal. If you are considering funding a
tax-qualified retirement plan with an annuity, you should know that an annuity
does not provide any additional tax deferral treatment of earnings beyond the
treatment provided by the tax-qualified retirement plan itself. However,
annuities do provide other features and benefits which may be valuable to you.
You should fully discuss your purchase decision with your financial
representative.
This annuity was developed to help you contribute to your retirement savings.
This annuity works in two stages, the Accumulation Phase and the Income Phase.
Your contract is in the Accumulation Phase during the period when you make
payments into the contract. The Income Phase begins when you request us to start
making 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
portfolios which, like mutual funds, vary with market conditions. 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.
The contract also offers fixed account options for varying time periods. Fixed
account options earn interest at a rate set and guaranteed by AIG SunAmerica
Life. If you allocate money to the fixed account options, the amount of money
that accumulates in the contract depends on the total interest credited to the
particular fixed account option(s) in which you invest.

An initial Gross Purchase Payment is the money you give us to buy a contract.
Any additional money you give us to invest in the contract after purchase is a
subsequent Gross Purchase Payment.
The following chart shows the minimum initial and subsequent Gross Purchase
Payments permitted under your contract. These amounts depend upon whether a
contract is Qualified or Non-qualified for tax purposes. FOR FURTHER
EXPLANATION, SEE TAXES BELOW.
<Table>

- -----------------------------------------------------------
Minimum Initial Minimum
Gross Purchase Subsequent Gross
Payment Purchase Payment

Qualified $2,000 $250
- -----------------------------------------------------------
Non-Qualified $5,000 $500
- -----------------------------------------------------------
</Table>

We reserve the right to require company approval prior to accepting Purchase
Payments greater than $1,000,000. 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. Subsequent Purchase Payments that would cause total
Purchase Payments in all contracts issued by AIG SunAmerica Life to the same
owner to exceed these limits may also be subject to company pre-approval. We
reserve the right to change the amount at which pre-approval is required, at any
time. Also, once you have contributed at least the minimum initial Purchase
Payment, you can establish an optional automatic payment plan allows you to make
subsequent Purchase Payments of as little as $20.00.
We may refuse any Gross Purchase Payment. In general, we will not issue a
Qualified 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. In addition, we may
not issue a contract to anyone age 91 or older. You may not elect Estate Plus if
you are age 81 or older at the time of contract issue.
We allow spouses to jointly own this contract. However, the age of the older
spouse is used to determine the availability of any 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.
ALLOCATION OF PURCHASE PAYMENTS
A Purchase Payment is the portion of your Gross Purchase Payment which we invest
in your contract after we deduct the sales charge.
We invest your Purchase Payments in the fixed and variable investment options
according to your instructions. If we receive a Purchase Payment without
allocation instructions, we invest the money according to your last allocation
instructions. SEE INVESTMENT OPTIONS BELOW.
In order to issue your contract, we must receive your completed application,
Purchase Payment allocation instructions and any other required paperwork at our
principal place of business. We allocate your initial Purchase Payment within
two days of receiving it. 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 5 business days we will send your money
back to you, or ask your permission to keep your money until we get the
information necessary to issue the contract.
ACCUMULATION UNITS
When you allocate a Purchase Payment to the Variable Portfolios, we credit your
contract with Accumulation Units of the separate account funding the Polaris(II)
A-Class variable annuity. We base the number of Accumulation Units you receive
on the value of the Variable Portfolio as of the day we receive your money, if
we receive it before 1 p.m. Pacific Standard Time, or on the next business day's
unit value if we receive your money after 1 p.m. Pacific Standard Time. The
value of an Accumulation Unit goes up and down based on the performance of the
Variable Portfolios.
We calculate the value of an Accumulation Unit each day that the New York Stock
Exchange ("NYSE") is open as follows:
1. Determining the total value of money invested in a particular Variable
Portfolio;
2. Subtracting from that amount all applicable insurance charges; and
3. Dividing this amount by the number of outstanding Accumulation Units at
the end of the given NYSE business day.
We determine the number of Accumulation Units credited to your contract by
dividing the Purchase Payment by the Accumulation Unit value for the specific
Variable Portfolio.
EXAMPLE:
We receive a $25,000 Gross Purchase Payment from you on Wednesday which you
allocate to the Global Bond Portfolio. After we deduct the sales charge,
the net amount to be invested of your Gross Purchase Payment is $23,562.50.
We determine that the value of an Accumulation Unit for the Global Bond
Portfolio is $11.10 when the NYSE closes on Wednesday. We then divide
$23,562.50 by $11.10 and credit your contract on Wednesday night with
2,122.747748 Accumulation Units for the Global Bond Portfolio.
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.
FREE LOOK
You may cancel your contract within ten days after receiving it (or longer if
required by state law). We call this a "free look." To cancel, you must mail the
contract along with your free look request to our Annuity Service Center at P.O.
Box 54299, Los Angeles, California 90054-0299. Generally, we will refund the
value of your contract on the day we receive your request, plus the sales charge
we deducted. The amount refunded may be more or less than the amount you
originally invested.
Certain states require us to return your Gross Purchase Payments upon a free
look request. Additionally, all contracts issued as an IRA require the full
return of Gross Purchase Payments upon a free look. With respect to those
contracts, we reserve the right to put your money in the Cash Management
Portfolio during the free look period. If you cancel your contract during the
free look period, we return the greater of (1) your Gross Purchase Payment; or
(2) the value of your contract plus the sales charge we deducted. At the end of
the free look period, we allocate your money according to your instructions.

YOU SHOULD READ THE PROSPECTUSES FOR THE TRUSTS CAREFULLY. THESE PROSPECTUSES
CONTAIN DETAILED INFORMATION ABOUT THE VARIABLE PORTFOLIOS, INCLUDING EACH
VARIABLE PORTFOLIO'S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND RISK FACTORS.
FIXED ACCOUNT OPTIONS
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, as noted below. We guarantee the
interest rate credited to amounts allocated to any available FAGP and that the
rate will never be less than the minimum guaranteed interest rate as specified
in your contract. Once established, the rates for specified payments do not
change during the guarantee period. We determine the FAGPs offered at any time
in Our sole discretion and We reserve the right to change the FAGPs that We make
available at any time, unless state law requires Us to do otherwise. Please
check with your financial representative to learn if any FAGPs are currently
offered.
There are three interest rate scenarios for money allocated to the FAGPs. Each
of these rates may differ from one another. Once declared, the applicable rate
is guaranteed until the corresponding guarantee period expires. Under each
scenario your money may be credited a different rate of interest as follows:
Initial Rate: The rate credited to any portion of the initial Purchase
Payment allocated to a FAGP.
Current Rate: The rate credited to any portion of the subsequent Purchase
Payments allocated to a FAGP.
Renewal Rate: The rate credited to money transferred from a FAGP or a
Variable Portfolio into a FAGP and to money remaining in a FAGP after
expiration of a guarantee period.
When a FAGP ends, you may leave your money in the same FAGP or you may
reallocate your money to another FAGP or to the Variable Portfolios. If you want
to reallocate your money, you must contact Us within 30 days after the end of
the current interest guarantee period and instruct Us as to where you would like
the money invested. We do not contact you. If We do not hear from you, your
money will remain in the same FAGP where it will earn interest at the renewal
rate then in effect for that FAGP.
If you take money out of any available multi-year FAGP before the end of the
guarantee period, We make an adjustment to your contract. We refer to the
adjustment as a market value adjustment ("MVA"). The MVA reflects any difference
in the interest rate environment between the time you place your money in the
FAGP and the time when you withdraw or transfer that money. This adjustment can
increase or decrease your contract value. Generally, if interest rates drop
between the time you put your money into a FAGP and the time you take it out, We
credit a positive adjustment to your contract. Conversely, if interest rates
increase during the same period, We post a negative adjustment to your contract.
You have 30 days after the end of each guarantee period to reallocate your funds
without incurring any MVA. APPENDIX B SHOWS HOW WE CALCULATE AND APPLY THE MVA.
All FAGPs may not be available in all states. We reserve the right to refuse any
Purchase Payment to available FAGPs if we are crediting a rate equal to the
minimum guaranteed interest rate specified in your contract. We may also offer
Dollar Cost Averaging Fixed Accounts ("DCAFA"). The rules, restrictions and
operation of DCAFAs may differ from the standard FAGPs described above, please
see DOLLAR COST AVERAGING below for more details.
DOLLAR COST AVERAGING FIXED ACCOUNTS
You may invest initial and/or subsequent Purchase Payments in DCAFAs, if
available. DCAFAs also credit a fixed rate of interest but are specifically
designed to facilitate a dollar cost averaging program. Interest is credited to
amounts allocated to the DCAFAs while your investment is transferred to the
Variable Portfolios over certain specified time frames. The interest rates
applicable to the DCAFA may differ from those applicable to any available FAGPs
but will never be less than the minimum annual guaranteed interest rate as
specified in your contract. However, when using a DCAFA the annual interest rate
is paid on a declining balance as you systematically transfer your investment to
the Variable Portfolios. Therefore, the actual effective yield will be less than
the annual crediting rate. We determine the DCAFAs offered at any time in Our
sole discretion and We reserve the right to change to DCAFAs that we make
available at any time, unless state law requires us to do otherwise. See DOLLAR
COST AVERAGING below for more information.

ASSET ALLOCATION PROGRAM
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The asset allocation program is offered to help you diversify your investment
across various asset classes. Each of the models is comprised of a carefully
selected combination of Variable Portfolios with allocation amongst the various
asset classes based on historical asset class performance to meet stated
investment time horizons and risk tolerances.
ENROLLING IN THE PROGRAM
You may enroll in the program by selecting the model as well as any program
options on the product application form. If you already own a policy, you must
complete and submit a program election form. You and your financial advisor
determine the model most appropriate for you. You may discontinue investment in
the program at any time with a written request, telephone or internet
instructions, subject to our rules.
You may also choose to invest gradually into a model through the dollar cost
averaging program. You may only invest in one model at a time. You may invest in
investment options outside your selected model but only in those Variable
Portfolios that are not utilized in the model you selected. A transfer into or
out of one of the Variable Portfolios in your model, outside of the
specifications in the model will effectively terminate your participation in the
program. Currently, there is no fee for participating in this program.
WITHDRAWALS
You may request withdrawals, as permitted by your contract, which will be taken
proportionately from each of the allocations in the selected model unless
otherwise instructed by you. If you choose to make a non-proportional withdrawal
from the Variable Portfolio in the model, your investment may no longer be
consistent with the model's intended objectives.
Withdrawals may be subject to a withdrawal charge. Withdrawals may be taxable
and a 10% IRS penalty may apply if you are under age 59 1/2.
KEEPING YOUR PROGRAM ON TARGET
REBALANCING
You can elect to have your contract rebalanced quarterly, semi-annually, or
annually to maintain the target asset allocation among the Variable Portfolios
of the model you selected. Only those investment options within each model will
be rebalanced. An investment not included in the model can not be rebalanced.
ANNUAL RE-EVALUATION
Each year, on or about March 31, the allocations in every model are re-evaluated
and updated to assure that the investment objectives remain consistent. The
percentage allocations within each model may change and investment options may
be added to or deleted from a model as a result of the annual re-evaluation. We
will automatically rebalance your investment according to the reevaluation
allocations each year at or around March 31. If you choose not to participate in
the re-evaluation part of this program, you must contact the Annuity Service
Center. Some broker-dealers require that you consent to the re-evaluation each
year and will not allow Us to automatically rebalance your contract in
accordance with the re-evaluated models. Please check with your financial
representative to determine the protocol for his/her firm.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Using an asset allocation methodology does not guarantee greater or more
consistent returns. Historical market and asset class performance may differ in
the future from the historical performance upon which the models are built.
Also, allocation to a single asset class may outperform a model, so that you
could have been better off in an investment option or options representing a
single asset class than in a model. However, such a strategy involves a greater
degree of risk because of the concentration of like securities in a single asset
class.
The models represent suggested allocations which are provided as general
guidance. You should work with your financial representative to assist you in
determining if one of the models meets your financial needs, investment time
horizon, and is consistent with your risk comfort level. Information concerning
availability of the program and the specific models can be obtained from your
financial representative.
We have the right to modify, suspend or terminate the Asset Allocation Program
at any time.
TRANSFERS DURING THE ACCUMULATION PHASE
During the Accumulation Phase you may transfer funds between the Variable
Portfolios and/or the fixed account options. Funds already in your contract
cannot be transferred into the DCAFAs. You must transfer at least $100. If less
than $100 will remain in any Variable Portfolio after a transfer, that amount
must be transferred as well.
Subject to certain rules, you may request transfers of your account value
between the Variable Portfolios and/or the fixed account options in writing or
by telephone. Additionally, you may access your account and request transfers
between Variable Portfolios and/or the fixed account options through AIG
SunAmerica's website (http://www.aigsunamerica.com). We currently allow 15 free
transfers per contract per year. We
11
charge $25 ($10 in Pennsylvania and Texas) for each additional transfer in any
contract year. Transfers resulting from your participation in the DCA program
count against your 15 free transfers per contract year. However, transfers
resulting from your participation in the asset rebalancing program do not count
against your 15 free transfers.
We may accept transfer requests by telephone or the internet unless you tell us
not to on your contract application. When receiving instructions over the
telephone or the internet, we follow appropriate 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.
This product is not designed for professional "market timing" organizations or
other organizations or individuals engaged in trading strategies that seek to
benefit from short term price fluctuations or price irregularities by making
programmed transfers, frequent transfers or transfers that are large in relation
to the total assets of the underlying portfolio in which the Variable Portfolios
invest. These market timing strategies are disruptive to the underlying
portfolios in which the Variable Portfolios invest and thereby potentially
harmful to investors. If we determine, in our sole discretion, that your
transfer patterns among the Variable Portfolios reflect a market timing
strategy, we reserve the right to take action to protect the other investors.
Such action may include but would not be limited to restricting the way you can
request transfers among the Variable Portfolios, imposing penalty fees on such
trading activity, and/or otherwise restricting transfer options in accordance
with state and federal rules and regulations.
Any transfer request in excess of 12 transfers per contract year must be
submitted in writing by U.S. mail. Transfer requests sent by same day mail,
overnight mail or courier services will not be accepted. We will process any
transfer request as of the day we receive it, if received before close of the
New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). If the transfer request is received after the
close of the NYSE, the request will be processed on the next business day.
Transfer requests required to be submitted by U.S. mail can only be cancelled in
writing by U.S. mail. We will process a cancellation request only if it is
received prior to or simultaneous with the original transfer request.
Regardless of the number of transfers you have made, we will monitor and, upon
written notification, may terminate your transfer privileges if we determine
that you are engaging in a pattern of transfers that reflects a market timing
strategy or is potentially harmful to other policy owners. Some of the factors
we will consider include:
- the dollar amount of the transfer;
- the total assets of the Variable Portfolio involved in the transfer;
- the number of transfers completed in the current calendar quarter; or
- whether the transfer is part of a pattern of transfers to take advantage
of short-term market fluctuations or market inefficiencies.
For information regarding transfers during the Income Phase, SEE INCOME OPTIONS
BELOW.
We reserve the right to modify, suspend, waive or terminate these transfer
provisions at any time.
DOLLAR COST AVERAGING
The DCA program allows you to invest gradually in the Variable Portfolios. Under
the program you systematically transfer a set dollar amount or percentage from
one Variable Portfolio (source accounts) to any other Variable Portfolio (target
account). Transfers may occur on certain periodic schedules, such as monthly or
weekly and count against your 15 free transfers per contract year. You may
change the frequency to other available options at any time by notifying us in
writing. The minimum transfer amount under the DCA program is $100, regardless
of the source account. FAGPs are not available as target accounts for the DCA
program. Currently, there is no fee for participating in the DCA program.
We may also offer the DCAFAs exclusively to facilitate this program for a
specified period. The DCAFAs only accept new Purchase Payments. You cannot
transfer money already in your contract into these options. When you allocate a
Purchase Payment into a DCAFA, your money is transferred into the Variable
Portfolios over the selected time period at an offered frequency of your
choosing. You cannot change the option or the frequency of transfers once
selected.
For example, if you allocate $1,000 to a DCAFA and you select monthly transfers,
we completely transfer all of your money to the selected investment options over
an equal period of months.
You may terminate your DCA program at any time. If money remains in the DCAFAs,
we transfer the remaining money according to your instructions or to your
current allocation on file. Transfers resulting from a termination of this
program do not count towards your 15 free transfers.
The DCA program is designed to lessen the impact of market fluctuations on your
investment. However, we cannot ensure that you will make a profit nor guarantee
against a loss. When you elect the DCA program, you are continuously investing
in securities regardless of fluctuating price levels. You should consider your
tolerance for investing through periods of fluctuating price levels.
We reserve the right to modify, suspend or terminate this program at any time.
12
EXAMPLE:
Assume that you want to gradually move $750 each quarter from the Cash
Management Portfolio to the Aggressive Growth Portfolio over six months.
You set up dollar cost averaging and purchase Accumulation Units at the
following values:
<Table>
<Caption>
- -------------------------------------------
ACCUMULATION UNITS
MONTH UNIT PURCHASED
- -------------------------------------------
1 $ 7.50 100
2 $ 5.00 150
3 $10.00 75
4 $ 7.50 100
5 $ 5.00 150
6 $ 7.50 100
- -------------------------------------------
</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.
AUTOMATIC ASSET REBALANCING PROGRAM
Earnings in your contract may cause the percentage of your investment in each
investment option to differ from your original allocations. The Automatic Asset
Rebalancing Program addresses this situation. At your election, we periodically
rebalance your investments in the Variable Portfolios to return your allocations
to their original percentages. Asset rebalancing typically involves shifting a
portion of your money out of an investment option with a higher return into an
investment option with a lower return.
At your request, rebalancing occurs on a quarterly, semiannual or annual basis.
Transfers made as a result of rebalancing do not count against your 15 free
transfers for the contract year. Currently, there is no charge to participate in
this program.
We reserve the right to modify, suspend or terminate this program at any time.
EXAMPLE:
Assume that you want your initial Purchase Payment split between two
Variable Portfolios. You want 50% in the Corporate Bond Portfolio and 50%
in the Growth Portfolio. Over the next calendar quarter, the bond market
does very well while the stock market performs poorly. At the end of the
calendar quarter, the Corporate Bond Portfolio now represents 60% of your
holdings because it has increased in value and the Growth Portfolio
represents 40% of your holdings. If you had chosen quarterly rebalancing,
on the last day of that quarter, we would sell some of your units in the
Corporate Bond Portfolio to bring its holdings back to 50% and use the
money to buy more units in the Growth Portfolio to increase those holdings
to 50%.
PRINCIPAL ADVANTAGE PROGRAM
The Principal Advantage Program allows you to invest in one or more Variable
Portfolios without putting your principal at direct risk. The program
accomplishes this by allocating your investment strategically between the fixed
account options and Variable Portfolios. You decide how much you want to invest
and approximately when you want a return of principal. We calculate how much of
your Purchase Payment to allocate to the particular fixed account option to
ensure that it grows to an amount equal to your total principal invested under
this program. We invest the rest of your principal in the Variable Portfolio(s)
of your choice. Currently, there is no charge to participate in this program.
We reserve the right to modify, suspend or terminate this program at any time.
EXAMPLE:
Assume that you want to allocate a portion of your initial Purchase Payment
of $100,000 to the fixed account option after we deduct sales charges. You
want the amount allocated to the fixed account option to grow to $100,000
in 7 years. If the 7-year fixed account option is offering a 5% interest
rate, we will allocate $71,069 to the 7-year fixed account option to ensure
that this amount will grow to $100,000 at the end of the 7-year period. The
remaining $28,931 may be allocated among the Variable Portfolios, as
determined by you, to provide opportunity for greater growth.
VOTING RIGHTS
AIG SunAmerica Life is the legal owner of the Trusts' shares. However, when a
Variable Portfolio solicits proxies in conjunction with a vote of shareholders,
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. Should we determine that we are no longer required to
comply with these rules, we will vote the shares in our own right.
SUBSTITUTION
We may amend your contract due to changes to the Variable Portfolios offered
under your contract. For example, we may offer new Variable Portfolios, delete
Variable Portfolios, or stop accepting allocations and/or investments in a
particular Variable Portfolio. We may move assets and re-direct future premium
allocations from one Variable Portfolio to another if we receive investor
approval through a proxy vote or SEC approval for a fund substitution. This
would occur if a Variable Portfolio is no longer an appropriate investment for
the contract, for reasons such as continuing substandard performance, or for
changes to the portfolio manager, investment objectives, risks and strategies,
or federal or state laws. The new Variable Portfolio offered may have different
13
fees and expenses. You will be notified of any upcoming proxies or substitutions
that affect your Variable Portfolio choices.
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
ACCESS TO YOUR MONEY
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
You can access money in your contract by making a partial or total withdrawal;
and/or by receiving income payments during the Income Phase. SEE INCOME OPTIONS
BELOW.
We deduct a MVA if a partial withdrawal comes from the multi-year fixed
investment options prior to the end of the guarantee period. Additionally, a
withdrawal charge may apply in limited circumstances. If you withdraw your
entire contract value, we also deduct premium taxes if applicable. SEE EXPENSES
BELOW.
Under certain Qualified plans, access to the money in your contract may be
restricted. Additionally, withdrawals made prior to age 59 1/2 may result in a
10% IRS penalty tax. SEE TAXES BELOW.
Under most circumstances, the partial withdrawal minimum is $1,000. We require
that the value left in your contract is at least $500 after the withdrawal. 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 the fixed account option(s) in which your contract is invested.
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.
SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL PROGRAM
During the Accumulation Phase, you may elect to receive periodic income payments
under the systematic withdrawal program. Under the program you may choose to
take monthly, quarterly, semiannual or annual payments from your contract.
Electronic transfer of these funds to your bank account is available. The
minimum amount of each withdrawal is $250. There must be at least $500 remaining
in your contract at all times. Withdrawals may be taxable and a 10% IRS penalty
tax may apply if you are under age 59 1/2. There is no additional charge for
participating in this program, although a withdrawal charge and a MVA may apply.
We reserve the right to modify, suspend or terminate this program at any time.
MINIMUM CONTRACT VALUE
Where permitted by state law, we may terminate your contract if both of the
following occur: (1) your contract is less than $500 as a result of withdrawals;
and (2) you have not made any Purchase Payments during the past three years. We
will provide you with sixty days written notice. At the end of the notice
period, we will distribute the contract value to you.

- ----------------------------------------------------------------
DEATH BENEFIT
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
If you die during the Accumulation Phase of your contract, we pay a death
benefit to your Beneficiary. At the time you purchase your contract, you must
select one of the two death benefit options described below. Once selected, you
cannot change your death benefit option. You should discuss the available
options with your financial advisor to determine which option is best for you.
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 income payments in accordance with the income option you
selected. SEE INCOME OPTIONS BELOW.
You name your Beneficiary. You may change the Beneficiary at any time, unless
you previously made an irrevocable Beneficiary designation.
We calculate and pay the death benefit when we receive all required paperwork
and satisfactory proof of death. We consider the following satisfactory proof of
death:
1. a certified copy of the death certificate; or
2. a certified copy of a decree of a court of competent jurisdiction as to
the finding of death; or
3. a written statement by a medical doctor who attended the deceased at the
time of death; or
4. any other proof satisfactory to us.
We may require additional proof before we pay the death benefit.
The death benefit must be paid within 5 years of the date of death. The
Beneficiary may elect to have the death benefit payable in the form of an income
option unless previously designated by the owner. If the Beneficiary elects an
income option, it must be paid over the Beneficiary's lifetime or for a period
not extending beyond the Beneficiary's life expectancy. Income option payments
must begin within one year of your death.
If the Beneficiary is the spouse of the deceased original owner, he or she can
elect to continue the contract. SEE SPOUSAL CONTINUATION BELOW.
The term Net Purchase Payment is used frequently in explaining these death
benefit options. Net Purchase Payments is an on-going calculation. It does not
represent a contract value.
14
We define Net Purchase Payments as Purchase Payments less an Adjustment for each
withdrawal. If you have not taken any withdrawals from your contract, Net
Purchase Payments equals total purchase payments into your contract. To
calculate the Adjustment amount for the first withdrawal made under the
contract, we determine the percentage by which the withdrawal reduced the
contract value. For example, a $10,000 withdrawal from a $100,000 contract is a
10% reduction in value. This percentage is calculated by dividing the amount of
each withdrawal (and any applicable fees and charges) by the contract value
immediately before taking the withdrawal. The resulting percentage is then
multiplied by the amount of the total Purchase Payments and subtracted from the
amount of the total Purchase Payments on deposit at the time of the withdrawal.
The resulting amount is the initial Net Purchase Payment.
To arrive at the Net Purchase Payment calculation for subsequent withdrawals, we
determine the percentage by which the contract value is reduced by taking the
amount of the withdrawal in relation to the contract value immediately before
taking the withdrawal. We then multiply the Net Purchase Payment calculation as
determined prior to the withdrawal, by this percentage. We subtract that result
from the Net Purchase Payment calculation as determined prior to the withdrawal
to arrive at all subsequent Net Purchase Payment calculations.
The term "Gross Withdrawals" as used in describing the death benefit option
below is defined as withdrawals and the fees and charges applicable to those
withdrawals.
The information below describes the death benefits on contracts issued on or
after October 24, 2001:
OPTION 1 -- PURCHASE PAYMENT ACCUMULATION OPTION
The death benefit is the greatest of:
1. the contract value at the time we receive all required paperwork and
satisfactory proof of death; or
2. total Gross Purchase Payments reduced by any withdrawals in the same
proportion that the withdrawal reduced the contract value on the date of
each withdrawal; or
3. Net Purchase Payments compounded at a 4% annual growth rate until the
date of death (3% growth rate if age 70 or older at the time of contract
issue) plus any Purchase Payments recorded after the date of death; and
reduced for any Gross Withdrawals in the same proportion that the Gross
Withdrawal reduced contract value on the date of the Gross Withdrawal;
or
4. the contract value on the seventh contract anniversary, plus any
Purchase Payments since the seventh contract anniversary; and reduced
for any Gross Withdrawals since the seventh contract anniversary in the
same proportion that each Gross Withdrawal reduced the contract value on
the date of the Gross Withdrawal, all compounded at a 4% annual growth
rate until the date of death (3% growth rate if age 70 or older at the
time of contract issue) plus any purchase payments recorded after the
date of death; and reduced for each Gross Withdrawal recorded after the
date of death in the same proportion that each Gross Withdrawal reduced
the contract value on the date of the Gross Withdrawal.
The Purchase Payment Accumulation option may not be available to Washington
state policyowners. Please check with your financial advisor for availability.
OPTION 2 -- MAXIMUM ANNIVERSARY OPTION
The death benefit is the greatest of:
1. the contract value at the time we receive all required paperwork and
satisfactory proof of death; or
2. total Gross Purchase Payments reduced by any withdrawal in the same
proportion that the withdrawal reduced the contract value on the date of
each withdrawal; or
3. the maximum anniversary value on any contract anniversary prior to your
81st birthday. The anniversary value equals the contract value on a
contract anniversary plus any Purchase Payments since that contract
anniversary; and reduced for any Gross Withdrawals since the contract
anniversary in the same proportion that each Gross Withdrawal reduced
the contract value on the date of the Gross Withdrawal.
If you are age 90 or older at the time of death and selected the Option 2 death
benefit, the death benefit will be equal to contract value at the time we
receive all required paperwork and satisfactory proof of death. Accordingly, you
do not get the advantage of Option 2 if:
- you are age 81 or older at the time of contract issue; or
- you are age 90 or older at the time of your death.
The death benefit options on contracts issued before October 24, 2001 would be
subject to a different calculation. Please see the Statement of Additional
Information for details.
ESTATEPLUS
EstatePlus is an optional benefit that, if selected, may increase your death
benefit amount. If you have earnings in your contract at the time of death, we
will add a percentage of those earnings (the "EstatePlus Percentage"), subject
to a maximum dollar amount (the "Maximum EstatePlus Percentage"), to the death
benefit payable. The EstatePlus benefit, if any, is added to the death benefit
payable under the Purchase Payment Accumulation or Maximum Anniversary options.
The contract year of your death will determine the EstatePlus Percentage and the
Maximum EstatePlus Percentage.

The table below provides the details if you were age 69 or younger at the time
we issue your contract:

- -------------------------------------------------------------
</Table>
* Purchase Payments received after the 5(th) contract anniversary must remain in
the contract for at least 6 full months to be included as part of Net Purchase
Payments for the purpose of the Maximum EstatePlus calculation.
What is the Contract Year of Death?
Contract Year of Death is the number of full 12 month periods beginning with the
date your contract is issued and ending on the date of death.
What is the EstatePlus Percentage Amount?
We determine the amount of the EstatePlus benefit, based on a percentage of the
earnings in your contract at the time of your death. For the purpose of this
calculation, earnings equals contract value minus Net Purchase Payments as of
the date of death. If the earnings amount is negative, no EstatePlus amount will
be added.
What is the Maximum EstatePlus Amount?
The EstatePlus benefit is subject to a maximum dollar amount. The maximum
EstatePlus amount is equal to a percentage of your Net Purchase Payments.
You must elect EstatePlus at the time of contract application. Once elected, you
may not terminate or change this election.
We assess a 0.25% fee for EstatePlus. On a daily basis we deduct this annual
charge from the average daily ending value of the assets you have allocated to
the Variable Portfolios.
EstatePlus is not available if you are age 81 or older at the time we issue your
contract. Furthermore, a Continuing Spouse cannot benefit from EstatePlus if
he/she is age 81 or older on the Continuation Date. SEE SPOUSAL CONTINUATION
BELOW. The EstatePlus benefit is not available after the latest Annuity Date.
You may pay for the EstatePlus benefit and your beneficiary may never receive
the benefit if you live past the latest Annuity Date. SEE INCOME OPTIONS BELOW.
EstatePlus may not be available in your state or through the broker-dealer with
which your financial advisor is affiliated. See your financial advisor for
information regarding availability.
WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO MODIFY, SUSPEND OR TERMINATE THE ESTATEPLUS BENEFIT (IN
ITS ENTIRETY OR ANY COMPONENT AT ANY TIME) AT ANY TIME FOR PROSPECTIVELY ISSUED
CONTRACTS.
SPOUSAL CONTINUATION
If you are the original owner of the contract and the Beneficiary is your
spouse, your spouse may elect to continue the contract after your death. The
spouse becomes the new owner ("Continuing Spouse"). Generally, the contract and
its elected features if any, remain the same. The Continuing Spouse is subject
to the same fees, charges and expenses applicable to the original owner of the
contract. A spousal continuation can only take place upon the death of the
original owner of the contract.
To the extent that the Continuing Spouse invests in the Variable Portfolios or
MVA fixed accounts, they will be subject to investment risk as was the original
owner.
Upon the spouse's continuation of the contract, we will contribute to the
contract value an amount by which the death benefit that would have been paid to
the beneficiary upon the death of the original owner exceeds the contract value
("Continuation Contribution"), if any. We calculate the Continuation
Contribution as of the date of the original owner's death. We will add the
Continuation Contribution as of the date we receive both the Continuing Spouse's
written request to continue the contract and proof of death of the original
owner in a form satisfactory to us ("Continuation Date"). The Continuation
Contribution is not considered a Purchase Payment for the purposes of any other
calculations, except as explained in Appendix C.
Generally, the Continuing Spouse cannot change any contract provisions as the
new owner. However, on the Continuation Date, the Continuing Spouse may
terminate the original owner's election of EstatePlus. We will terminate
EstatePlus if the Continuing Spouse is age 81 or older on the Continuation Date.
If EstatePlus is terminated or if the Continuing Spouse dies after the Latest
Annuity Date, no EstatePlus benefit will be payable. The age of the Continuing
Spouse on the Continuation Date and on the date of the Continuing Spouse's death
will be used in determining any future death benefits under the Contract. SEE
APPENDIX C FOR FURTHER EXPLANATION OF THE DEATH BENEFIT CALCULATIONS FOLLOWING A
SPOUSAL CONTINUATION.

EXPENSES
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
There are charges and expenses associated with your contract. These charges and
expenses reduce your investment return. We will not increase the sales,
insurance or withdrawal charges under your contract. However, the investment
charges under your contract may increase or decrease. Some states may require
that we charge less than the amounts described below.
SEPARATE ACCOUNT CHARGES
The amount of this charge is 0.85% annually, of the value of your contract
invested in the Variable Portfolios. We deduct the charge daily. There is no
separate account charge deducted from amounts allocated to the fixed account
options.
The separate account charge compensates us for the mortality and expense risks
and the costs of contract distribution assumed by AIG SunAmerica Life.
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
separate account charge is expected to result in a profit. Profit may be used
for any legitimate cost/expense including distribution, depending upon market
conditions.
OTHER REVENUE
We may receive compensation of up to 0.40% from the investment advisers of
certain of the underlying investments of the Trusts for services related to the
availability of those underlying investments in the Contract.
SALES CHARGE
We may apply an up-front sales charge against the Gross Purchase Payments you
make to your contract. The sales charge equals a percentage of each Gross
Purchase Payment and varies with your investment amount.
Your investment amount is determined on the day we receive a Gross Purchase
Payment and is the greater of:
1. The sum of:
(a) the Gross Purchase Payment amount;
(b) the current contract value of this contract; and
(c) the current contract value of any eligible related contracts as
defined under the Rights of Accumulation section below; or
2. The amount, if any, you agree to contribute to this contract and your
eligible related contracts over a 13-month period as designated by you
in a Letter of Intent (described below).
A list of eligible related contracts and mutual funds can be obtained from your
investment representative.
<Table>

- ------------------------------------------------------------
Less than $ 50,000 5.75%
$ 50,000 - $ 99,999 4.75%
$100,000 - $249,999 3.50%
$250,000 - $499,999 2.50%
$500,000 - $999,999 2.00%
$1,000,000 or more 0.50%*
- ------------------------------------------------------------
</Table>
* Additionally, a withdrawal charge of 0.50% applies to gross purchase payments
subject to a 0.50% sales charge if invested less than 12 months at the time of
withdrawal. SEE PURCHASE PAYMENTS SUBJECT TO A WITHDRAWAL CHARGE BELOW.
We call the above investment levels "breakpoints." You can reduce your sales
charge by increasing your investment amount to reach the next breakpoint. For
example, an investment amount of $50,000 brings you to the first breakpoint and
entitles you to a reduced sales charge of 4.75%.
REDUCING YOUR SALES CHARGES
Our Letter of Intent and Rights of Accumulation features allow you to combine
your current Gross Purchase Payment with other Gross Purchase Payments and/or
contract values so that you may take advantage of the breakpoints in the sales
charge schedule.
Other sales charge reductions may be available to clients of financial planners,
institutions, broker-dealer representatives or registered investment advisors
utilizing fee based services. SEE REDUCTION OR ELIMINATION OF CHARGES AND
EXPENSES AND ADDITIONAL AMOUNTS CREDITED BELOW.
LETTER OF INTENT
The Letter of Intent feature lets you establish an investment goal up-front so
that all Gross Purchase Payments you make during a designated 13-month period
receive the sales charge corresponding to your stated investment goal. When you
submit a signed Letter of Intent, we use the amount of your stated investment
goal to determine the sales charge on any Gross Purchase Payment you make during
the 13-month period as though the total amount of Gross Purchase Payments (your
investment goal) is invested as one lump-sum.
Gross Purchase Payments made to your Polaris(II) A-Class contract and Purchase
Payments made to any eligible related contract count towards your investment
goal. Additionally, Gross Purchase Payments made to your Polaris(II) A-Class
contract and Purchase Payments made to any eligible related contract within 90
days prior to our receipt of your Letter of Intent (but not prior to the issue
date of your Polaris(II)
17
A-Class contract) may count towards meeting your investment goal. If you use
prior Purchase Payments towards satisfying your investment goal, the Letter of
Intent start date will be backdated to the receipt date of the earliest prior
Purchase Payment. If you wish to use prior Purchase Payments towards meeting
your investment goal, you or your financial representative must inform us of
such prior Purchase Payments at the time you submit your Letter of Intent.
EXAMPLE:
Assume as part of your contract application you sign a Letter of Intent
indicating an investment goal of $50,000 over a 13-month period. The sales
charge corresponding to your investment goal is 4.75%. You make an initial
Gross Purchase Payment of $20,000. We deduct a reduced sales charge of
4.75% from your initial Gross Purchase Payment. Ten months later you make a
subsequent Gross Purchase Payment of $30,000. We again deduct a reduced
sales charge of 4.75% from your Gross Purchase Payment. Without a Letter of
Intent the sales charge for each Gross Purchase Payment would have been
5.75%.
You may submit a Letter of Intent at any time. If you choose to submit a Letter
of Intent when you apply for the contract, you must check the corresponding box
on the application and complete the appropriate form. If you elect to submit a
Letter of Intent after your contract is issued, you must complete the
appropriate form, which is available from your financial advisor or our Annuity
Service Center.
You are not obligated to reach your investment goal. If you do not achieve your
investment goal by the end of the 13-month period or if you surrender or
annuitize your contract without having reached your investment goal, we will
deduct from your contract the difference between: (1) the sales charge
corresponding to the amount of Gross Purchase Payments made to your Polaris(II)
A-Class contract and purchase payments made to any eligible related contract
during the 13-month period; and (2) the sales charge you actually paid,
regardless of whether the original sales charge was based on your Letter of
Intent investment goal or Rights of Accumulation privileges. The charges are
deducted from your investment options in the same proportion as their values are
to your then current contract value. We will not deduct this amount if a death
benefit is paid on the contract prior to the end of the 13-month period.
You may increase your investment goal by sending us a written request at any
time during the 13-month period. Gross Purchase Payments made from the date of
such notice through the end of the original 13-month period will receive any
applicable reduction in sales charges. Sales charges on Gross Purchase Payments
received prior to the notice to increase your investment goal will not be
retroactively reduced.
The Letter of Intent feature may not be available in all states. Please contact
your investment representative regarding the availability of this feature in
your state.
We reserve the right to modify, suspend or terminate this program at any time.
RIGHTS OF ACCUMULATION
You may qualify for a reduced sales charge through Rights of Accumulation.
Rights of Accumulation involves combining your current Gross Purchase Payment
with the current contract values of this contract and eligible related contracts
and mutual funds so that you may reduce the sales charge on your current Gross
Purchase Payment(s) into this contract. The sales charge corresponding to this
combined investment amount is deducted from your current Gross Purchase Payment.
In order to use Rights of Accumulation to reduce your sales charge using
contracts other than your Polaris(II) A-Class contract, you or your financial
representative must inform us of the related contracts and mutual funds each
time you make a Gross Purchase Payment. The sales charge for Gross Purchase
Payments submitted using Rights of Accumulation privileges will be based on the
breakpoint corresponding to the sum of (1) your current Gross Purchase Payment;
(2) your current contract value; and (3) the current values of your eligible
related contracts and mutual funds.
For purposes of calculating your investment amount, the current contract value
is the value of your contract and any eligible related contracts as of the close
of the market on the last previous NYSE business day less any current day
withdrawals, adjusted for any current day transactions.
EXAMPLE:
Assume your contract has a current value of $20,000. You have a second
contract with us which qualifies for Rights of Accumulation that has a
current value of $25,000. You make a $5,000 Gross Purchase Payment and
inform us of your eligible related contracts at the time you make your
payment. The sales charge applicable to the current Gross Purchase Payment
is based on the sales charge corresponding to the sum of: (1) your current
Gross Purchase Payment ($5,000); (2) the current contract value of this
contract ($20,000); and (3) the current contract value of your related
contract ($25,000). The sum of these values is $50,000. We deduct the sales
charge corresponding to an investment amount of $50,000, or 4.75%, from
your $5,000 Gross Purchase Payment. Without the benefit of Rights of
Accumulation your sales charge would have been 5.75%.
Certain Rights of Accumulation privileges may not be available in your state.
Please contact your financial representative regarding the availability of this
feature in your state.
We reserve the right to modify, suspend or terminate this program at any time.
PURCHASE PAYMENTS SUBJECT TO A WITHDRAWAL CHARGE
Each Gross Purchase Payment qualifying for a sales charge of 0.50% (that is,
your investment amount is $1,000,000 or
18
more) remains subject to a withdrawal charge of 0.50%. The withdrawal charge
applies to such Gross Purchase Payment or any portion of it withdrawn if
invested less than 12 months prior to such withdrawal.
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 fully surrender your contract, we deduct any applicable
sales charge from the amount withdrawn.
We will not assess a withdrawal charge for money withdrawn to pay a death
benefit or to pay contract fees or charges. We will not assess a withdrawal
charge when you switch to the Income Phase, except when you elect to receive
income payments using the Income Protector program. If you elect to receive
income payments using the Income Protector program, we assess any applicable
withdrawal charge when calculating your Income Benefit Base. SEE INCOME OPTIONS
BELOW.
Withdrawals made prior to age 59 1/2 may result in a 10% IRS penalty tax. SEE
TAXES BELOW.
INVESTMENT CHARGES
INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEES
Charges are deducted from your Variable Portfolios for the advisory and other
expenses of the Variable Portfolios. For more detailed information on these
investment charges, refer to the prospectuses for the Trusts which are attached.
12b-1 FEES
Shares of certain trusts may be subject to fees imposed under a distribution
and/or servicing plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment
Company Act of 1940. For SunAmerica Series Trust ("SST"), under the distribution
plan which is applicable to Class 1 and 2 shares, recaptured brokerage
commissions will be used to make payments to AIG SunAmerica Capital Services,
Inc., the SST's Distributor, to pay for various distribution activities on
behalf of the SST Portfolios. These distribution fees will not increase the cost
of your investment or affect your return.
In addition, the 0.25% fee applicable to Class II shares of the Van Kampen Life
Investment Trust and Class 2 shares of the American Funds Insurance Series is
generally used to pay financial intermediaries for services provided over the
life of your contract.
For more detailed information on these Investment Management Charges, refer to
the prospectuses for the American Funds Insurance Series, Anchor Series Trust,
SunAmerica Series Trust, Lord Abbett Series Fund, Inc. and/or Van Kampen Life
Investment Trust.
TRANSFER FEE
We currently permit 15 free transfers between investment options each contract
year. We charge you $25 for each additional transfer that contract year ($10 in
Pennsylvania and Texas). SEE INVESTMENT OPTIONS ABOVE.
OPTIONAL ESTATEPLUS FEE
We charge 0.25% for the EstatePlus feature. On a daily basis, we deduct this
charge from the average daily ending value of the assets you have allocated to
the Variable Portfolios.
PREMIUM TAX
Certain states charge the Company a tax on the premiums you pay into the
contract ranging from 0% to 3.5%. We deduct from your contract these premium tax
charges. Currently we deduct the charge for premium taxes when you take a full
withdrawal or begin the Income Phase of the contract. In the future, we may
assess this deduction at the time you put Purchase Payment(s) into the contract
or upon payment of a death benefit.
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 CHARGES AND EXPENSES, AND ADDITIONAL AMOUNTS
CREDITED
Sometimes sales of the contracts to groups of similarly situated individuals may
lower our administrative and/or sales expenses. We reserve the right to reduce
or waive certain charges and expenses when this type of sale occurs. In
addition, we may also credit additional interest to policies sold to such
groups. We determine which groups are eligible for such 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 prospective
purchaser; nature of the purchase; 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 administrative and/or sales expenses may
be reduced.
In addition, financial planners, institutions, broker-dealer representatives or
registered investment advisors utilizing the contract in fee-based investment
products pursuant to an agreement with the Distributor, may purchase a version
of Polaris(II) A-Class without incurring a front-end and/or contingent deferred
sales load.
AIG SunAmerica Life may make such a determination regarding sales to its
employees, it 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 change or modify any such determination or the treatment
applied to a particular group, at any time.

INCOME OPTIONS
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
ANNUITY DATE
During the Income Phase, we use the money accumulated in your contract to make
regular income payments to you. You may switch to the Income Phase any time
after your second contract anniversary. You select the month and year in which
you want income payments to begin. The first day of that month is the Annuity
Date. You may change your Annuity Date, so long as you do so at least seven days
before the income payments are scheduled to begin. Once you begin receiving
income payments, you cannot change your income option. Except as indicated under
Option 5 below, once you begin receiving income payments, you cannot access your
money through a withdrawal or surrender.
Income payments must begin on or before your 95th birthday or on your tenth
contract anniversary, whichever occurs later (latest Annuity Date). If you do
not choose an Annuity Date, your income payments will automatically begin on
this date. Certain states may require your income payments to start earlier.
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.
In addition, most Qualified contracts require you to take minimum distributions
after you reach age 70 1/2. SEE TAXES BELOW.
INCOME OPTIONS
Currently, this contract offers five standard income options. Other payout
options may be available. Contact the Annuity Service Center for more
information. If you elect to receive income payments but do not select an
option, your income payments will be made in accordance with Option 4 for a
period of 10 years. For income payments based on joint lives, we pay according
to Option 3, for a period of 10 years.
We base our calculation of income payments on the life of the Annuitant and the
annuity rates set forth in your contract. As the contract owner, you may change
the Annuitant at any time prior to the Annuity Date. You must notify us if the
Annuitant dies before the Annuity Date and designate a new Annuitant.
OPTION 1 - LIFE INCOME ANNUITY
This option provides income payments for the life of the Annuitant. Income
payments stop when the Annuitant dies.
OPTION 2 - JOINT AND SURVIVOR LIFE ANNUITY
This option provides 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 income payments during the lifetime of the survivor. Income
payments stop when the survivor dies.
OPTION 3 - JOINT AND SURVIVOR LIFE ANNUITY WITH 10 OR 20 YEARS GUARANTEED
This option is similar to Option 2 above, with an additional guarantee of
payments for at least 10 years or 20 years. If the Annuitant and the survivor
die before all of the guaranteed income payments have been made, the remaining
payments are made to the Beneficiary under your contract.
OPTION 4 - LIFE ANNUITY WITH 10 OR 20 YEARS GUARANTEED
This option is similar to Option 1 above. In addition, this option provides a
guarantee that income payments will be made for at least 10 or 20 years. You
select the number of years. If the Annuitant dies before all guaranteed income
payments are made, the remaining income payments go to the Beneficiary under
your contract.
OPTION 5 - INCOME FOR A SPECIFIED PERIOD
This option provides income payments for a guaranteed period, ranging from 5 to
30 years. If the Annuitant dies before all of the guaranteed income payments are
made, the remaining income payments are made to the Beneficiary under your
contract. Additionally, if variable income payments are elected under this
option, you (or the Beneficiary under the contract if the Annuitant dies prior
to all guaranteed payments being made) may redeem the contract value after the
Annuity Date. The amount available upon such redemption would be the discounted
present value of any remaining guaranteed variable income payments. Any
applicable withdrawal charges will be deducted from the discounted value as if
you fully surrendered your contract.
The value of an Annuity Unit, regardless of the option chosen, takes into
account the mortality and expense risk charge. Since Option 5 does not contain
an element of mortality risk, no benefit is derived from this charge.
Please read the Statement of Additional Information ("SAI") for a more detailed
discussion of the income options.
For more information regarding Income Options using the Income Protector
feature, please see below.
FIXED OR VARIABLE INCOME PAYMENTS
You can choose income payments that are fixed, variable or both. Unless
otherwise elected, at the date when income payments begin you are invested in
the Variable Portfolios only, your income payments will be variable and if your
money is only in fixed accounts at that time, your income payments will be fixed
in amount. Further, if you are invested in both fixed and variable investment
options when income payments begin, your payments will be fixed and variable
unless otherwise elected. If income payments are fixed, AIG SunAmerica Life
guarantees the amount of each payment. If the income payments are variable the
amount is not guaranteed.

INCOME PAYMENTS
We make 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 the selected income
option results in income payments of less than $50 per payment, we may decrease
the frequency of the payments, state law allowing.
If you are invested in the Variable Portfolios after the Annuity Date your
income payments vary depending on four things:
- for life options, your age when payments begin and in most states, if a
Non-qualified contract, your gender; and
- the value of your contract in the Variable Portfolios on the Annuity
Date; and
- the 3.5% assumed investment rate used in the annuity table for the
contract; and
- the performance of the Variable Portfolios in which you are invested
during the time you receive income payments.
If you are invested in both the fixed account options and the Variable
Portfolios after the Annuity Date, the allocation of funds between the fixed and
variable options also impacts the amount of your income payments.
The value of variable income payments, if elected, is based on an assumed
interest rate ("AIR") of 3.5% compounded annually. Variable income payments
generally increase or decrease from one 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 income payments
will remain constant. If performance of Variable Portfolios is greater than the
AIR, the income payments will increase and if it is less than the AIR, the
income payments will decline.
TRANSFERS DURING THE INCOME PHASE
During the Income Phase, one transfer per month is permitted between the
Variable Portfolios. No other transfers are allowed during the Income Phase.
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. See also ACCESS TO
YOUR MONEY above.
THE INCOME PROTECTOR FEATURE
The Income Protector feature is a future "safety net" which offers you the
ability to receive a guaranteed fixed minimum retirement income when you switch
to the Income Phase. With the Income Protector feature you know the level of
minimum income that will be available to you upon annuitization, regardless of
fluctuating market conditions.
The Income Protector is a standard feature of your contract. There is no
additional charge associated with this feature. This feature may not be
available in your state. Check with your financial advisor regarding
availability.
We reserve the right to modify, suspend or terminate the Income Protector
feature at any time.
HOW WE DETERMINE THE AMOUNT OF YOUR MINIMUM GUARANTEED INCOME
We base the amount of minimum income available to you if you elect to receive
income payments using the Income Protector feature upon a calculation we call
the income benefit base.
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 equal to, for the first year of calculation, your initial Purchase
Payment, or for each subsequent year of calculation, the income benefit
base on the prior contract anniversary, and;
(b) is equal to the sum of all subsequent Purchase Payments made into the
contract since the last contract anniversary, and;
(c) is equal to 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.
ELECTING TO RECEIVE INCOME PAYMENTS
You may elect to begin the Income Phase of your contract using the Income
Protector feature ONLY within the 30 days after the seventh or later contract
anniversary.
The contract anniversary prior to your election to begin receiving 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 income. Your final income benefit base is equal to (a) minus (b)
where:
(a) is equal to your income benefit base as of your income benefit date,
and;
(b) is equal to 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 as the
income benefit date, and any applicable premium taxes.
21
To arrive at the minimum guaranteed retirement income available to you we apply
to your final income benefit base the annuity rates stated in your Income
Protector endorsement for the income option you select. You then choose if you
would like to receive that income annually, semi-annually quarterly or monthly
for the time guaranteed under your selected income option. The income options
available when using the income protector feature to receive your retirement
income are:
- Life Annuity with 10 Years Guaranteed, or
- Joint and Survivor Life Annuity with 20 Years Guaranteed
At the time you elect to begin receiving income payments, we will calculate your
income payments using both your income benefit base and your contract value. We
will use the same income option for each calculation, however, the annuity
factors used to calculate your income under the Income Protector feature will be
different. You will receive whichever provides a greater stream of income. If
you elect to receive income payments using the Income Protector feature your
income payments will be fixed in amount. You are not required to use the Income
Protector feature to receive income payments.
If a Spousal Beneficiary elects to continue the contract upon the death of the
original owner, the Income Protector feature will continue. The Continuation
Contribution is not a purchase payment and therefore will not impact the income
benefit base calculation. The waiting period before electing to use the Income
Protector feature will be counted from the original issue date of the contract.
NOTE TO QUALIFIED CONTRACT HOLDERS
Qualified contracts generally require that you select an income option which
does not exceed your life expectancy. That restriction, if it applies to you,
may limit your ability to use the Income Protector feature.
You may wish to consult your tax advisor for information concerning your
particular circumstances. SEE APPENDIX D FOR AN EXAMPLE OF THE OPERATION OF THE
INCOME PROTECTOR FEATURE.

TAXES

- ----------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: WE PREPARED THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION ON TAXES AS A GENERAL DISCUSSION OF
THE SUBJECT. THIS INFORMATION ADDRESSES GENERAL FEDERAL TAXATION MATTERS, AND
GENERALLY DOES NOT ADDRESS STATE TAXATION ISSUES OR QUESTIONS. IT IS NOT TAX
ADVICE. RECENT TAX LEGISLATION INCLUDED MANY CHANGES THAT COULD AFFECT THE
TAXATION OF INVESTMENT INCOME. YOU MAY WISH TO SEEK COMPETENT TAX ADVICE ABOUT
YOUR OWN CIRCUMSTANCES. WE DO NOT GUARANTEE THE TAX STATUS OF YOUR ANNUITY. TAX
LAWS CONSTANTLY CHANGE, THEREFORE, WE CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT THE INFORMATION
CONTAINED HEREIN IS COMPLETE AND/OR ACCURATE. WE HAVE INCLUDED AN ADDITIONAL
DISCUSSION REGARDING TAXES IN THE SAI.
ANNUITY CONTRACTS IN GENERAL
The Internal Revenue Code ("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
investments that satisfy specific tax and ERISA requirements automatically
provide tax deferral regardless of whether the underlying contract is an
annuity, a trust or a custodial account. Different rules 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 a pension plan, a specially sponsored
employer program or an individual retirement account, your contract is referred
to as a Non-Qualified contract. A Non-Qualified contract receives different tax
treatment than a 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 contract.
If you purchase your contract under a pension plan, a specially sponsored
employer program or as an individual retirement account, your contract is
referred to as a Qualified contract. Examples of qualified plans are: Individual
Retirement Accounts ("IRAs"), Roth IRAs, Tax-Sheltered Annuities (referred to as
403(b) contracts), plans of self-employed individuals (often referred to as H.R.
10 Plans or Keogh Plans) and pension and profit sharing plans, including 401(k)
plans. Typically 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 cost basis in a Roth IRA, and you may have cost basis in
a traditional IRA or in another Qualified Contract.
TAX TREATMENT OF DISTRIBUTIONS--NON-QUALIFIED CONTRACTS
If you make a partial or total withdrawal from a Non-Qualified contract, the IRC
treats such a withdrawal as first coming from the earnings and then as 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
are treated as being distributed before the earnings on those contributions. 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(s). Any portion of each income payment that is considered a return of
your Purchase Payment will not be taxed. Withdrawn earnings are treated as
income to you and are taxable. The IRC provides for a 10% penalty tax on any
earnings that are withdrawn other than in
22
conjunction with the following circumstances: (1) after reaching age 59 1/2; (2)
when paid to your Beneficiary after you die; (3) after you become disabled (as
defined in the IRC); (4) when paid in a series of substantially equal
installments made for your life or for the joint lives of you and you
Beneficiary; (5) under an immediate annuity; or (6) which are attributable to
Purchase Payments made prior to August 14, 1982.
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, with certain limited exceptions, any amount of
money you take out as a withdrawal or as income payments is taxable income. The
IRC further provides for a 10% penalty tax on any taxable withdrawal or income
payment paid to you other than in conjunction with the following circumstances:
(1) after reaching age 59 1/2; (2) when paid to your Beneficiary after you die;
(3) after you become disabled (as defined in the IRC); (4) in a series of
substantially equal installments, made for your life or for the joint lives of
you and your Beneficiary, that begins after separation from service with the
employer sponsoring the plan; (5) to the extent such withdrawals do not exceed
limitations set by the IRC for deductible amounts paid during the taxable year
for medical care; (6) to fund higher education expenses (as defined in IRC; only
from an IRA); (7) to fund certain first-time home purchase expenses (only from
an IRA); and, except in the case of an IRA; (8) when you separate from service
after attaining age 55; (9) when paid for health insurance if you are unemployed
and meet certain requirements; and (10) when paid to an alternate payee pursuant
to a qualified domestic relations order.
The IRC limits the withdrawal of an employee's voluntary Purchase Payments to a
Tax-Sheltered Annuity (TSA). 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 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 annuity contract as of December 31, 1988 are not subject to these
restrictions. Qualifying transfers of amounts from one TSA contract to another
TSA contract under section 403(b) or to a custodial account under section
403(b)(7), and qualifying transfers to a state defined benefit plan to purchase
service credits, are not considered distributions, and thus are not subject to
these withdrawal limitations. If amounts are transferred from a custodial
account described in Code section 403(b)(7) to this contract the transferred
amount will retain the custodial account withdrawal restrictions.
Withdrawals from other Qualified Contracts are often limited by the IRC and by
the employer's plan.
MINIMUM DISTRIBUTIONS
Generally, the IRS 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 retire. If you own an IRA, you must begin taking distributions when
you attain age 70 1/2, regardless of when you retire. If you own more than one
TSA, you may be permitted to take your annual distributions in any combination
from your TSAs. A similar rule applies if you own more than one IRA. However,
you cannot satisfy this distribution requirement for your TSA contract by taking
a distribution from an IRA, and you cannot satisfy the requirement for your IRA
by taking a distribution from a TSA.
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 advisor for more information.
You may elect to have the required minimum distribution amount on your contract
calculated and withdrawn each year under the automatic withdrawal option. You
may select either 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
advisor 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. We reserve the right to change or
discontinue this service at any time.
TAX TREATMENT OF DEATH BENEFITS
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 benefits are paid as lump sum or
annuity payments. Estate taxes may also apply.
Certain enhanced death benefits may be purchased under your contract. Although
these types of benefits are used as investment protection and should not give
rise to any adverse tax effects, 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 such case, the amount of the partial withdrawal
may be includible in taxable
23
income and subject to the 10% penalty if the owner is under 59 1/2.
If you own a Qualified contract and purchase these enhanced death benefits, the
IRS may consider these benefits "incidental death benefits." The IRC imposes
limits on the amount of the incidental death benefits allowable for Qualified
contracts. 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. Furthermore, the IRC provides that the assets of an IRA
(including a Roth IRA) may not be invested in life insurance, but may provide,
in the case of death during the Accumulation Phase, for a death benefit payment
equal to the greater of Purchase Payments or contract value. This contract
offers death benefits, which may exceed the greater of Purchase Payments or
contract value. If the IRS determines that these benefits are providing life
insurance, the contract may not qualify as an IRA (including Roth IRAs). 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 ("Non-Natural Owner") that is considering purchasing this
contract should consult a tax advisor. Generally, the IRC does not treat a
Non-Qualified contract owned by a non-natural owner as an annuity contract for
Federal income tax purposes. The non-natural owner pays tax currently on the
contract's value in excess of the owner's cost basis. 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. See the SAI for a more
detailed discussion of the potential adverse tax consequences associated with
non-natural ownership of a non-qualified annuity contract.
GIFTS, PLEDGES AND/OR ASSIGNMENTS OF A NON-QUALIFIED 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. Also, the IRC treats any assignment or pledge (or
agreement to assign or pledge) of any portion of a Non-Qualified contract as a
withdrawal. See the SAI for a more detailed discussion regarding potential tax
consequences of gifting, assigning or pledging a non-qualified contract.
DIVERSIFICATION AND INVESTOR CONTROL
The IRC imposes certain diversification requirements on the underlying
investments for a variable annuity. We believe that the underlying portfolios'
management monitors the portfolios so as to comply with these requirements. To
be treated as a variable annuity for tax purposes, the underlying investments
must meet these requirements.
The diversification regulations do not provide guidance as to the circumstances
under which you, and not AIG SunAmerica Life, would be considered the owner of
the shares of the portfolios under your Nonqualified Contract, because of the
degree of control you exercise over the underlying investments. This
diversification requirement is sometimes referred to as "investor control." It
is unknown to what extent owners are permitted to select investments, to make
transfers among Variable Portfolios or the number and type of Variable
Portfolios owners may select from. If any guidance is provided which is
considered a new position, then the guidance would generally be applied
prospectively. However, if such guidance is considered not to be a new position,
it may be applied retroactively. This would mean you, as the owner of the
Nonqualified Contract, could be treated as the owner of the underlying
portfolios. 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.

PERFORMANCE
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
We advertise the Cash Management Portfolio's yield and effective yield. In
addition, the other Variable Portfolios advertise total return, gross yield and
yield-to-maturity. These figures represent past performance of the Variable
Portfolios. These performance numbers do not indicate future results.
When we advertise performance for periods prior to the date the particular
variable portfolio was incepted through the separate account, we derive the
figures from the performance of the corresponding portfolios for the Trusts, if
available. We modify these numbers to reflect charges and expenses as if the
contract was in existence during the period stated in the advertisement. Figures
calculated in this manner do not represent actual historic performance of the
particular Variable Portfolio.
Consult the Statement of Additional Information for more detailed information
regarding the calculation of performance data. The performance of each Variable
Portfolio may also be measured against unmanaged market indices. The indices we
use include but are not limited to the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the
Standard & Poor's 500, the Russell 1000 Growth Index, the Morgan Stanley Capital
International Europe, Australia and Far East Index ("EAFE") and the Morgan
Stanley Capital International World Index. We may compare the Variable
Portfolios' performance to that of other
24
variable annuities with similar objectives and policies as reported by
independent ranking agencies such as Morningstar, Inc., Lipper Analytical
Services, Inc. or Variable Annuity Research & Data Service ("VARDS").
AIG SunAmerica Life may also advertise the rating and other information assigned
to it by independent industry ratings organizations. Some of those organizations
are A.M. Best Company ("A.M. Best"), Moody's Investor's Service ("Moody's"),
Standard & Poor's Insurance Rating Services ("S&P"), and Fitch Ratings. A.M.
Best's and Moody's ratings reflect their current opinion of our financial
strength and performance in comparison to others in the life and health
insurance industry. S&P's and Fitch Ratings measure the ability of an insurance
company to meet its obligations under insurance policies it issues. These two
ratings do not measure the insurer's ability to meet non-policy obligations.
Ratings in general do not relate to the performance of the Variable Portfolios.

commissions to these representatives for the sale of the contracts. We do not
expect the total commissions to exceed 5.00% of your Gross Purchase Payments. We
may also pay a trail commission quarterly starting as early as the second
contract year. We may also pay a bonus to representatives for contracts which
stay active for a particular period of time, in addition to standard
commissions. The sales charges on your contract cover the cost of commissions we
pay to the representative.
From time to time, we may pay or allow additional promotional incentives in the
form of cash or other compensation. We reserve the right to offer these
additional incentives only to certain broker-dealers which may or may not be
affiliated broker-dealers and/or certain registered representatives that sell,

We calculate the MVA by doing a comparison between current rates and the rate
being credited to you in the FAGP. For the current rate We use a rate being
offered by Us for a guarantee period that is equal to the time remaining in the
FAGP from which you seek withdrawal. If we are not currently offering a
guarantee period for that period of time, We determine an applicable rate by
using a formula to arrive at a number between the interest rates currently
offered for the two closest periods available.
Where the MVA is negative, We first deduct the adjustment from any money
remaining in the FAGP. If there is not enough money in the FAGP to meet the
negative deduction, We deduct the remainder from your withdrawal. Where the MVA
is positive, We add the adjustment to your withdrawal amount. If a withdrawal
charge applies, it is deducted before the MVA calculation. The MVA is assessed
on the amount withdrawn less any withdrawal charges.
The MVA is computed by multiplying the amount withdrawn, transferred or taken
under an income option by the following factor:
[(1+I/(1+J+L)] to the power of (N/12) - 1
where:
I is the interest rate you are earning on the money invested in the
FAGP;
J is the interest rate then currently available for the period of time
equal to the number of years rounded up to the nearest integer remaining
in the term you initially agreed to leave your money in the FAGP;
N is the number of full months remaining in the term you initially
agreed to leave your money in the FAGP; and
L is 0.005 (Some states require a different value. Please see your
contract.)
We do not assess an MVA against withdrawals under the following circumstances:
- If a withdrawal is made within 30 days after the end of a guarantee
period;
- If a withdrawal is made to pay contract fees and charges;
- To pay a death benefit; and
- Upon beginning an income option, if occurring on the Latest Annuity Date.
EXAMPLES OF THE MVA
The purpose of the examples below is to show how the MVA adjustments are
calculated and may not reflect the Guarantee periods available or Withdrawal
Charges applicable under your contract.
The examples below assume the following:
(1) You made an initial Purchase Payment of $10,000 and allocated it to a
3-year FAGP at a rate of 5%;
(2) You make a partial withdrawal of $4,000 when 1 1/2 years (18 months)
remain in the term you initially agreed to leave your money in the FAGP
(N=18);
(3) You have not made any other transfers, additional Purchase Payments, or
withdrawals; and
(4) Your contract was issued in a state where L=0.005.
POSITIVE ADJUSTMENT, NO WITHDRAWAL CHARGE APPLIES
Assume that on the date of withdrawal, the interest rate in effect for a new
Purchase Payments in the 1-year FAGP is 3.5% and the 3-year FAGP is 4.5%. By
linear interpolation, the interest rate for the remaining 2 years (1 1/2 years
rounded up to the next full year) in the contract is calculated to be 4%. No
withdrawal charge is reflected in this example, assuming that the Purchase
Payment withdrawn falls within the free look amount.
The MVA factor is = [(1+I/(1+J+0.005)] to the power of (N/12) - 1
= [(1.05)/(1.04+0.005)] to the power of (18/12) - 1
= (1.004785) to the power of (1.5) - 1
= 1.007186 - 1
= + 0.007186
The requested withdrawal amount is multiplied by the MVA factor to determine the
MVA:
$4,000 X (+0.007186) = +$28.74
$28.74 represents the positive MVA that would be added to the withdrawal.
B-1
NEGATIVE ADJUSTMENT, NO WITHDRAWAL CHARGE APPLIES
Assume that on the date of withdrawal, the interest rate in effect for new
Purchase Payments in the 1-year FAGP is 5.5% and the 3-year FAGP is 6.5%. By
linear interpolation, the interest rate for the remaining 2 years (1 1/2 years
rounded up to the next full year) in the contract is calculated to be 6%. No
withdrawal charge is reflected in this example, assuming that the Purchase
Payment withdrawn falls with the free withdrawal amount.
The MVA factor is= [(1+I)/(1+J+0.005)] to the power of (N/12) - 1
= [(1.05)/(1.06+0.005)] to the power of (18/12) - 1
= (0.985915) to the power of (1.5) - 1
= 0.978948 - 1
= - 0.021052
The requested withdrawal amount is multiplied by the MVA factor to determine the
MVA:
$4,000 X (- 0.021052) = -$84.21
$84.21 represents the negative MVA that will be deducted from the money
remaining in the 3-year FAGP.
POSITIVE ADJUSTMENT, WITHDRAWAL CHARGE APPLIES
Assume that on the date of withdrawal, the interest rate in effect for a new
Purchase Payments in the 1-year FAGP is 3.5% and the 3-year FAGP is 4.5%. By
linear interpolation, the interest rate for the remaining 2 years (1 1/2 years
rounded up to the next full year) in the contract is calculated to be 4%. A
withdrawal charge of 6% is reflected in this example, assuming that the Purchase
Payment withdrawn exceeds the free withdrawal amount.
The MVA factor is= [(1+I)/(I+J+0.005)] to the power of (N/12) - 1
= [(1.05)/(1.04+0.005)] to the power of (18/12) - 1
= (1.004785) to the power of (1.5) - 1
= 1.007186 - 1
= + 0.007186
The requested withdrawal amount, less the withdrawal charge ($4,000 - (6% X
$4,000) = $3,760) is multiplied by the MVA factor to determine the MVA:
$3,760 X (+0.007186) = +$27.02
$27.02 represents the positive MVA that would be added to the withdrawal.
NEGATIVE ADJUSTMENT, WITHDRAWAL CHARGE APPLIES
Assume that on the date of withdrawal, the interest rate in effect for new
Purchase Payments in the 1-year FAGP is 5.5% and the 3-year FAGP is 6.5%. By
linear interpolation, the interest rate for the remaining 2 years (1 1/2 years
rounded up to the next full year) in the contract is calculated to be 6%. A
withdrawal charge of 6% is reflected in this example, assuming that the Purchase
Payment withdrawn exceeds the free withdrawal amount.
The MVA factor is= [(1+I)/(I+J+0.005)] to the power of (N/12) - 1
= [(1.05)/(1.06+0.005)] to the power of (18/12) - 1
= (0.985916) to the power of (1.5) - 1
= 0.978949 - 1
= - 0.021051
The requested withdrawal amount, less the withdrawal charge ($4,000 - (6% X
$4,000) = $3,760) is multiplied by the MVA factor to determine the MVA:
$3,760 X (-0.021052) = -$79.16
$79.16 represents the negative MVA that would be deducted from the money
remaining in the 3-year FAGP.

APPENDIX C - DEATH BENEFITS FOLLOWING SPOUSAL CONTINUATION
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Capitalized terms used in this Appendix have the same meaning as they have in
the Death Benefit section of the prospectus.
The term Continuation Net Purchase Payments is used frequently to describe the
death benefits payable to the beneficiary of the Continuing Spouse for contracts
issued on or after October 24, 2001. We define Continuation Net Purchase
Payments as Net Purchase Payments made on and/or after the Continuation Date.
For the purpose of calculating Continuation Net Purchase Payments, the amount
that equals the contract value on the Continuation Date, including the
Continuation Contribution is considered a Purchase Payment. If the Continuing
Spouse makes no additional Purchase Payments or withdrawals, Continuation Net
Purchase Payments equals the contract value on the Continuation Date, including
the Continuation Contribution.
The term "Gross Withdrawals" as used in describing the death benefit option
below is defined as withdrawals and the fees and charges applicable to those
withdrawals.
The following describes the death benefit options following spousal continuation
for contracts issued on or after October 24, 2001:
1. Purchase Payment Accumulation Option
If a Continuation Contribution is added on the Continuation Date, the
death benefit is the greater of:
a. The contract value on the date we receive all required paperwork and
satisfactory proof of the Continuing Spouse's death; or
b. Continuation Net Purchase Payments; or
c. Continuation Net Purchase Payments compounded to the date of death
at a 4% annual growth rate, (3% growth rate if the Continuing Spouse
was age 70 or older on the Continuation Date) plus any Purchase
Payments recorded after the date of death; and reduced by any Gross
Withdrawals recorded after the date of death in the same proportion
that the Gross Withdrawal reduced the contract value on the date of
each withdrawal; or
d. The contract value on the seventh contract anniversary following the
original issue date of the contract, plus any Purchase Payments
since the seventh contract anniversary and reduced for any Gross
Withdrawals recorded after the seventh contract anniversary in the
same proportion that the Gross Withdrawal reduced the contract value
on the date of the Gross Withdrawal, all compounded at a 4% annual
growth rate until the date of death (3% annual growth rate if the
Continuing Spouse is age 70 or older on the Continuation Date) plus
any Purchase Payments; and reduced for any withdrawals recorded
after the date of death in the same proportion that each withdrawal
reduced the contract value on the date of the withdrawal
If a Continuation Contribution is not added on the Continuation Date,
the death benefit is the greater of:
a. The contract value on the date we receive all required paperwork and
satisfactory proof of the Continuing Spouse's death; or
b. Total Gross Purchase Payments reduced by any withdrawals in the same
proportions that the withdrawal reduced the contract value on the
date of each withdrawal; or
c. Net Purchase Payments made from the original contract issue date
compounded to the date of death at a 4% annual growth rate, (3%
growth rate if the Continuing Spouse was age 70 or older on the
original contract issue date) plus any Purchase Payments recorded
after the date of death; and reduced for any Gross Withdrawals
recorded after the date of death in the same proportion that each
Gross Withdrawal reduced the contract value on the date of the
withdrawal; or
d. The contract value on the seventh contract anniversary following the
original issue date of the contract, plus any Purchase Payments
since the seventh contract anniversary; and reduced for any Gross
Withdrawals since the seventh contract anniversary in the same
proportion that each Gross Withdrawal reduced the contract value on
the date of the Gross Withdrawal, all compounded at a 4% annual
growth rate until the date of death (3% annual growth rate if the
Continuing Spouse is age 70 or older on the contract issue date)
plus any Purchase Payments; and reduced for any Gross Withdrawals
recorded after the date of death in the same proportion that each
Gross Withdrawal reduced the contract value on the date of the Gross
Withdrawal.
2. Maximum Anniversary Value Option -- if the continuing spouse is below age
90 at the time of death, and:
If a Continuation Contribution is added on the Continuation Date, the
death benefit is the greatest of:
a. The contract value on the date we receive all required paperwork and
satisfactory proof of the Continuing Spouse's death; or
b. Continuation Net Purchase Payments; or
c. The maximum anniversary value on any contract anniversary occurring
after the Continuation Date and prior to the Continuing Spouse's
81st birthday. The anniversary value equals the contract value on a
contract anniversary plus any Purchase Payments made since that
contract anniversary; and reduced for any Gross Withdrawals recorded
since the contract anniversary in the same proportion that each
Gross Withdrawal reduced the contract value on the date of the Gross
Withdrawal. Contract
C-1
anniversary is defined as any anniversary following the full 12
month period after the original contract issue date.
If a Continuation Contribution is not added on the Continuation Date,
the death benefit is the greatest of:
a. The contract value on the date we receive all required paperwork and
satisfactory proof of the Continuing Spouse's death; or
b. Total Gross Purchase Payments reduced by withdrawals in the same
proportion that the withdrawal reduced the contract value on the
date of the withdrawal; or
c. The maximum anniversary value on any contract anniversary from the
original contract issue date prior to the Continuing Spouse's 81st
birthday. The anniversary value equals the contract value on a
contract anniversary plus any Purchase Payments since that contract
anniversary; and reduced for any Gross Withdrawals since the
contract anniversary in the same proportion that the Gross
Withdrawal reduced each contract value on the date of the Gross
Withdrawal. Contract anniversary is defined as the full 12 month
period after the original contract issue date.
If the Continuing Spouse is age 90 or older at the time of death, under
the Maximum Anniversary death benefit, their beneficiary will receive only the
contract value at the time we receive all required paperwork and satisfactory
proof of death.
Please see the Statement of Additional Information for a description of
the death benefit calculations following a Spousal Continuation for contracts
issued before October 24, 2001.
B. THE ESTATEPLUS BENEFIT PAYABLE UPON CONTINUING SPOUSE'S DEATH:
The EstatePlus benefit may increase the death benefit amount. The EstatePlus
benefit is only available if the original owner elected EstatePlus and it has
not been discontinued or terminated. If the Continuing Spouse had earnings in
the contract at the time of his/her death, we will add a percentage of those
earnings (the "EstatePlus Percentage"), subject to a maximum dollar amount (the
"Maximum EstatePlus Percentage"), to the death benefit payable, based on the
number of years the Continuing Spouse has held the contract since the
Continuation Date. The EstatePlus benefit, if any, is added to the death benefit
payable under the Purchase Payment Accumulation or the Maximum Anniversary
option.
The term "Continuation Net Purchase Payment" is used frequently to describe the
EstatePlus benefit payable to the beneficiary of the Continuing Spouse. We
define Continuation Net Purchase Payment as Net Purchase Payments made as of the
Continuation Date. For the purpose of calculating Continuation Net Purchase
Payments, the amount that equals the contract value on the Continuation Date,
including the Continuation Contribution is considered a Purchase Payment. If the
Continuing Spouse makes no additional Purchase Payments or withdrawal,
Continuation Net Purchase Payments equals the contract value on the Continuation
Date, including the Continuation Contribution.
The following table identifies the factors we use in determining the percentage
of earnings that will be added to the death benefit at the Continuing Spouse's
date of death, if the Continuing Spouse is age 69 or younger on the Continuation
Date:
<Table>

</Table>
* Purchase Payments received after the 5(th) year following the Continuation
Date must remain in the contract for at least six months to be included as
part of Continuation Net Purchase Payments for purpose of the Maximum
EstatePlus calculation.
What is the Contract Year of Death?
Contract Year of Death is the number of full 12 month periods starting on the
Continuation Date and ending on the Continuing Spouse's date of death.
What is the EstatePlus amount?
We determine the EstatePlus amount based upon a percentage of earnings in the
contract at the time of the Continuing Spouse's death. For the purpose of this
calculation, earnings are defined as (1) minus (2) where
(1) equals the contract value on the Continuing Spouse's date of death;
(2) equals the Continuation Net Purchase Payment(s).
What is the Maximum EstatePlus amount?
The EstatePlus benefit is subject to a maximum dollar amount. The Maximum
EstatePlus amount is a percentage of the Continuation Net Purchase Payments.
WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO MODIFY, SUSPEND OR TERMINATE THE SPOUSAL CONTINUATION
PROVISION (IN ITS ENTIRETY OR ANY COMPONENT) AT ANY TIME ON PROSPECTIVELY ISSUED
CONTRACTS.
