TAX INFORMATION<br />

Contract owners should consult their Contract prospectus for information on the federal tax consequences to them. In addition,<br />

Contract owners may wish to consult with their own tax advisors as to the tax consequences of investments in the Contracts and<br />

the <strong>Portfolio</strong>, including the application of state and local taxes. The <strong>Portfolio</strong> currently intends to be treated as a partnership for<br />

federal income tax purposes. As a result, the <strong>Portfolio</strong>’s income, gains, losses, deductions, and credits are “passed through” pro<br />

rata directly to the participating insurance companies and retain the same character for federal income tax purposes.<br />

FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARY COMPENSATION<br />

If you purchase your Contract through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the issuing insurance<br />

company, the <strong>Portfolio</strong> or their related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of the Contract, the selection of the<br />

<strong>Portfolio</strong> and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other<br />

intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Contract over another investment or insurance product, or to recommend<br />

the <strong>Portfolio</strong> over another investment option under the Contract. Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary’s<br />

website for more information.<br />
