Principal Protection: Don’t Fear the Bear 9
10
The Power of Zero ℠ Protect Your Principal through the POWER OF ZERO ℠ 10 No loss of principal. Your annuity value won’t decline due to market fluctuations. No loss of earnings. Interest earned each year is locked into the annuity and protected from future downturns. No emotional ups and downs. You have the confidence of knowing that your principal is protected, even in volatile times. Note: Principal will decline due to withdrawals and/or fees for an optional rider. It is important to note that index annuities are insurance products and not an investment. Index annuities provide the potential to earn index interest based in part on an underlying index. Indices cannot be invested in directly.

Monthly Average Monthly Point-to-Point Additive Monthly Point-to-Point Additive 2-Year Point-to-Point 2-Year Point-to-Point Choose from 6 Interest Crediting Strategies to Help Boost Your GROWTH POTENTIAL 12 Note: Interest earned is subject to an index rate cap or spread. An annual index rate cap is the maximum rate of interest you can earn in an index term. A monthly index rate cap is the maximum monthly change that is used to calculate interest for a specific account. A spread is a preset deduction that is used to calculate the interest earned in several accounts. Index interest accounts are not a permanent part of the contract and may be removed due to circumstances beyond the control of American General Life Insurance Company. Such circumstances include, but are not limited to, the discontinuation of an index, which may occur at the end of an index term, a change in the composition or calculation of an index, the inability to license the use of an index and the inability to hedge risks associated with these index interest accounts. Special rules govern how assets in a discontinued index interest account may be reallocated. These rules may differ by state.

This fee is deducted from the contract value on each contract anniversary. Guarantees are backed by the claims-paying ability of the issuing insurer. KEY TERMS AND DEFINITIONS Eligible premium: Premiums paid in the first 30 days of the contract. Income Base: The value on which guaranteed withdrawals are based; it is not used in the calculation of the contract value or any other benefits under the contract, and cannot be withdrawn partially or in a lump sum. The Income Base is initially equal to the first eligible premium. The Income Base is increased each time an eligible premium is made. It is also adjusted for excess withdrawals. On each contract anniversary, the Income Base is set to equal the greater of (1) the highest anniversary value, or (2) the current Income Base increased by any available income credit. On the 10th contract anniversary, the Income Base may be increased to the Minimum Income Base (200% of eligible premiums) if no withdrawals have been taken from the contract. Highest Anniversary Value: The contract value on a contract anniversary that is higher than all previous anniversary values.
24
Lifetime Income Plus Can GUARANTEE RISING INCOME for the First 10 Contract Years 24 1. Earn a 7% annual income credit for the first 10 contract years, when no withdrawals are taken. Keep the difference with a partial income credit of at least 1%, when withdrawals are taken within the rider’s terms. Lock in interest for future income. Your Income Base can continue to step up in years when a highest anniversary value is achieved. KEY TERMS AND DEFINITIONS Income Credit: The amount that may be added to your Income Base in each of the first 10 contract years. The annual income credit is 7% of the Income Credit Base in years when no withdrawals are taken. The annual income credit will be reduced by the percentage of the Income Base withdrawn in years when withdrawals are taken. An income credit is not available in years an excess withdrawal is taken. Income Credit Base: A component of the rider that is used solely to calculate the income credit. Initially, the Income Credit Base is equal to the first eligible premium. If the Income Base steps up to your anniversary value on a contract anniversary, your Income Credit Base will also step up to this amount. The Income Credit Base is not increased if your Income Base rises due to the addition of the income credit. The Income Credit Base is adjusted for excess withdrawals and is increased each time an eligible premium is made. Income Credit Period: The period of time over which an income credit may be added to the Income Base. It begins on the contract issue date and ends 10 years later.

Additional Information 39 Index annuities are not a direct investment in the stock market. They are long-term insurance products with guarantees backed by the claims- paying ability of the issuing insurance company. They provide the potential for interest to be credited based in part on the performance of the specified index, without the risk of loss of premium due to market downturns or fluctuations. Index annuities may not be suitable or appropriate for all individuals. Withdrawals may be subject to federal and/or state income taxes. An additional 10% federal tax may apply if you make withdrawals or surrender your annuity before age 59½. You should consult a tax advisor regarding your specific situation. Lifetime Income Plus is automatically included at contract issue for an annual fee of 0.95% of the Income Base. Restrictions and limitations apply. Contract and living benefit guarantees are backed by the claims-paying ability of American General Life Insurance Company. The Income Base is adjusted for excess withdrawals and is increased each time an eligible premium is made. On each contract anniversary, the Income Base can increase to the greater of 1) the anniversary value, if it is higher than all previous anniversary values; or 2) the Income Base plus any available income credit. On the 10th contract anniversary, the Income Base may be increased to the Minimum Income Base (200% of eligible premiums) if no withdrawals have been taken from the contract.

Additional Information 40 The ML Strategic Balanced Index™ provides systematic, rules-based access to the blended performance of the S&P 500 (without dividends), which serves to represent equity performance, and the Merrill Lynch 10-year U.S. Treasury Futures Total Return Index, which serves to represent fixed income performance. To help manage overall return volatility, the Index may also systematically utilize cash performance in addition to the performance of these two underlying indices. The ML Strategic Balanced Index™ embeds an annual index cost in the calculations of the change in index value over the index term. this “embedded index cost” will reduce any change in index value over the index term that would otherwise have been used in the calculation of index interest, and it funds certain operational and licensing costs for the Index. It is not a fee paid by you or received by American General Life Insurance Company (AGL). AGL’s licensing relationship with Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated for use of the ML Strategic Balanced Index™ and for use of certain service marks includes AGL’s purchase of financial instruments for purposes of meeting its interest crediting obligations.
