KEY INFORMATION
Important information You should consider about the Policy.
FEES AND EXPENSES
Charges for Early
Withdrawals
We will deduct a surrender charge if You surrender Your Policy during the first fifteen (15) Policy Years.
The surrender charge is assessed per $1,000 of Initial Specified Amount.  The maximum surrender
charge is $58.49 per $1,000 of Initial Specified Amount. For example, if You surrender Your Policy
during the first 15 Policy Years, You could pay a surrender charge of up to $5,849.00 on a $100,000
Initial Specified Amount.
Upon each withdrawal, We may charge a $25.00 Withdrawal Processing Fee.  This charge is currently
waived.
For more information, see SURRENDER CHARGE.
Transaction Charges
In addition to surrender charges, You may also be charged for other transactions. 
A Premium Charge of 10% will apply to each premium made to Your Policy. 
A Transfer Processing Fee of $25 may apply upon each transfer in excess of 24 transfers in a Policy
Year.  This charge is currently waived.
For more information, see CHARGES AND FEES.
Ongoing Fees and
Expenses (Annual
Charges)
In addition to surrender charges and transaction charges, an investment in the Policy is subject to
certain ongoing fees and expenses, including fees and expenses covering the cost of insurance under
the Policy and the cost of optional benefits available under the Policy.  These fees and expenses are
set based on characteristics of the insured such as Attained Age, Issue Age, Risk Class of the Insured,
and if permitted by state law, sex.  You should view the Policy specifications page of Your Policy for
rates applicable to Your Policy.
You will also bear expenses associated with the Funds made available under the Policy.  For the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2025, the minimum and maximum total operating expenses were as follows:
Annual Fees
Minimum          Maximum
Fund Fees and Expenses
0.13%                    0.17%
For more information, see CHARGES AND FEES.
RISKS
Risk of Loss
You may lose money by investing in the Policy.
For more information, see PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE POLICY.
Not a Short-Term
Investment
The Policy is not suitable as a short-term savings vehicle and, therefore, may not be the right kind of
policy if You plan to withdraw money or surrender the Policy for short term needs. You may pay
substantial charges if You surrender Your Policy.
For more information, see PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE POLICY.
Risks Associated
with Investment
Options
Investment in the Policy is subject to the risk of poor investment performance of the Funds and can
vary depending on the performance of the Funds available under the Policy.  Each Fund and the Fixed
Account has its own unique risk.  You should review these investment options before making an
investment decision.
For more information, see PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE POLICY.

RISKS
Insurance Company
Risks
Investment in the Policy is subject to the risks related to Symetra Life.  Any obligations, including
obligations related to the Fixed Account, guarantees and benefits provided for under the Policy are
subject to Our financial strength and claims paying ability.  More information about Us, including Our
financial strength ratings, is available upon request by calling 1-800-796-3872, or visiting Us at
www.symetra.com/regulatoryreports. 
Policy Lapse
The Policy will terminate without value ("Lapse") if the Net Surrender Value is not sufficient to cover the
Monthly Deduction.  This could happen due to poor Subaccount investment performance, withdrawals,
and unpaid loans and loan interest.  The death benefit will not be paid if a Policy Lapses.
Decreases in premium payments, not paying planned premium according to the illustrated schedule,
decreasing the Specified Amount, and taking loans or withdrawals will reduce the Lapse Protection
Value, in some cases by substantially more than the amount of the loan or the withdrawal, which may
significantly shorten the length of the guarantee provided under this benefit.
We will reinstate a Lapsed Policy only if our requirements for reinstatement are satisfied, including as
to continued insurability of the Insured Person, and You will incur costs in connection with any
reinstatement.
For more information, see POLICY LAPSE AND REINSTATEMENT.
RESTRICTIONS
Investments
You may allocate amounts under the Policy to one or more of the Subaccounts and to the Fixed
Account.
While the Lapse Protection Benefit Rider is in effect, You must allocate all of Your Net Premium
Payments and transfers of Policy Value to the Subaccounts. Any allocation of new Premium or Policy
Value to the Fixed Account after the Cancellation Period which is not related to an accelerated Death
Benefit will terminate the Lapse Protection Benefit Rider.
We reserve the right to add, combine, restrict, or remove any Subaccount as an investment option
under Your Policy.  We further reserve the right to restrict or remove the Fixed Account as an
investment option available under the Policy. 
For more information, see THE FUNDS. 
Optional Benefits
Accelerated Death Benefit for Chronic Illness Plus Rider
This rider may not be exercised if You have exercised the Accelerated Death Benefit for Terminal
Illness Rider. We may modify or stop offering this rider at any time.
Charitable Giving Benefit Rider
This rider is only available for Policies with a Specified Amount greater than $100,000.  We may modify
or stop offering this rider at any time.
For more information, see OTHER BENEFITS AVAILABLE UNDER THE POLICY.
TAXES
Tax Implications
You should consult a competent tax professional before purchasing the Policy to determine the tax
implications of an investment in the Policy. 
Withdrawals will be subject to ordinary income tax and may be subject to tax penalties.
Lapse of a Policy on which there is an outstanding loan may have adverse tax consequences.
For more information, see TAXES.
5
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
Investment
Professional
Compensation
Investment professionals who solicited sales of the policies receive a portion of the commission
payable to the broker-dealer firm, depending on the agreement between the broker-dealer and the
investment professional. We pay commissions as a percentage of premiums invested in the Policy.
An investment professional may receive different compensation for selling different investment
products and may have a financial incentive to offer or recommend the Policy over another investment
product.
For more information, see DISTRIBUTION.
Exchanges
An investment professional may have a financial incentive to offer You a new policy in the place of a
policy You already own.
You should not exchange this Policy for a new one unless You determine, after comparing the features
fees and risks of both policies, that the exchange is preferable for You.
For more information, see DISTRIBUTION.

OVERVIEW OF THE POLICY
The Policy can be used for insurance protection and estate planning, as well as for other long-term financial goals. You should
consider the Policy in conjunction with other insurance You own. It is designed to help meet long-term financial objectives.  The
Policy (particularly when used in conjunction with the Lapse Protection Benefit Rider) provides a very high Death Benefit as a
function of premium payments. This Policy may be appropriate if You have a long investment time horizon and are looking to
maximize the Death Benefit available to Your Beneficiaries after Your (or another insured’s) death. 
Premiums. The Policy is no longer offered for sale.  At the time You purchased the Policy,  You established a schedule of
monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual premium payments, but You are not required to pay premiums according to the
schedule. You can change the frequency and amount of, skip, or make unplanned, premium payments. Payment of insufficient
premiums may result in a Lapse of the Policy.  However, failing to pay premiums, alone, will not cause the Policy to Lapse and
paying planned premiums will not guarantee that the Policy will remain in force. For more information, see PREMIUMS.
We reserve the right, at any time and without prior notice, to limit the amount or frequency of premium payments or refuse to
accept a premium payment under the Policy. Aggregate premium payments in excess of $3 million over the life of the Policy are
subject to Our prior approval.
Investment Options.  You may allocate Your Net Premium Payments and Policy Value to one or more of the Subaccounts, each
of which invests in a designated Fund.  Owners who do not keep the Lapse Protection Benefit Rider in force may also allocate
Net Premiums or Policy Value to the Fixed Account, which credits guaranteed interest.
A discussion of each Fund available as an investment option under the Policy can be found in APPENDIX A: FUNDS
AVAILABLE UNDER THE POLICY.
Death Benefit. The primary benefit of this Policy is life insurance coverage. For more information, see DEATH BENEFIT.
No Lapse Protection.  When issued, Your Policy included a rider that will help You manage some of the risk of Policy Lapse.
The Lapse Protection Benefit Rider will prevent a Policy from lapsing due to insufficient Policy Value, as long as certain
conditions are met. For more information, see “Lapse Protection Benefit Rider” in OTHER BENEFITS AVAILABLE UNDER THE
POLICY.
Decreases in premium payments, not paying planned premium according to the illustrated schedule, decreasing the Specified
Amount, and taking loans or withdrawals will all reduce the Lapse protection value and may substantially shorten the length of
the guarantee provided under this benefit.
Access to Your Policy Value.  Subject to certain restrictions, You can access the money in Your Policy by taking a loan
against Your Net Surrender Value, making withdrawals after the first Policy Year, and by surrendering Your Policy for the Net
Surrender Value.  In addition, You can transfer Policy Value between or among any of the Subaccounts and the Fixed
Account.
 
Supplemental Benefits and Riders.  The Policy offers riders that provide supplemental benefits under the Policy. We will
deduct an additional monthly charge for the Lapse Protection Benefit Rider and the Accelerated Death Benefit for Chronic Illness
Plus Rider. For more information, see OTHER BENEFITS AVAILABLE UNDER THE POLICY.
1.Lapse Protection Benefit Rider.
2.Accelerated Death Benefit for Chronic Illness Rider.
3.Accelerated Death Benefit for Terminal Illness Rider.

PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE POLICY
POLICY RISKS
Investment Risk.  You may allocate Your Policy Value to one or more of the Subaccounts, each of which invests in a designated
Fund. Depending upon market conditions, You can make or lose Policy Value in any of these Subaccounts; Your Policy Value will
increase or decrease as a result of investment performance. If investment performance is very poor, You could lose everything
that You invest and Your Policy could Lapse without value.  There is no assurance that any Fund will achieve its stated objective.
Owners who do not keep the Lapse Protection Benefit Rider in force may also allocate Net Premium or Policy Value to the Fixed
Account, which credits guaranteed interest. Such Owners assume the risk that the interest rate We credit on Fixed Policy Value
may decrease, although it will never be less than an annual effective guaranteed interest rate of 1%.
Risk of Lapse.  Net Premiums that do not offset prior Monthly Deductions, poor Subaccount investment performance,
withdrawals, and unpaid loans and loan interest, may cause a Policy to Lapse, which means that You will no longer have
insurance coverage. If the Lapse Protection Benefit Rider is in effect, Your Policy will remain in force as long as the requirements
of that Rider are met.  Decreases in premium payments, not paying planned premium according to the illustrated schedule,
decreasing the Specified Amount, and taking loans or withdrawals will all reduce the Lapse Protection Value, in some cases by
substantially more than the amount of the loan or the withdrawal, which and may significantly shorten the length of the guarantee
provided under the Lapse Protection Benefit Rider.  Without the Lapse Protection Benefit Rider, Your Policy will remain in force
only as long as the Net Surrender Value is sufficient to cover Your Monthly Deductions. A Policy Lapse may have adverse tax
consequences.
Risk of Withdrawals or Surrender.  The Policy is designed to help meet long-term financial objectives by paying a Death
Benefit to the named Beneficiary(ies). The Policy is not suitable as a short-term savings vehicle and, therefore, may not be the
right kind of policy if You plan to withdraw money or surrender the Policy for short-term needs. You may pay substantial charges
or tax penalties if You surrender or make withdrawals from Your Policy. Please discuss Your insurance needs and financial
objectives with Your registered representative.
Risk of an Increase in Current Fees and Charges. Certain fees and charges are currently assessed at less than their
guaranteed maximum levels.  In the future, these charges may be increased up to the guaranteed maximum levels.  If fees and
charges are increased, You may need to increase the amount and/or frequency of premiums to keep the Policy In Force. 
Because of its fees and charges (including the charges for the Lapse Protection Benefit Rider), it may not provide as great a
growth in Policy Value as some other variable universal life insurance policies on the market today.
Risk of Loans.  There are risks involved in taking a Policy loan, including possible adverse tax consequences. For example, if
Your Policy is a “Modified Endowment Contract” (MEC), the loan may be taxable and may be subject to a 10% tax penalty. If a
loan is outstanding and Your Policy Lapses, the amount of any unpaid loans will be treated as a distribution and will be taxable to
the extent of gain in the Policy. See “Modified Endowment Contracts” in TAXES for more information. You should consult a tax
professional before taking out a Policy loan.
Risks of Limited Access to Cash Value. Withdrawals are not available in the first Policy Year; however, full surrenders are
permitted. We reserve the right to reject a withdrawal request that would cause the Specified Amount of a Policy to be reduce
below a minimum amount shown in Your Policy.  The minimum withdrawal is $250 and the maximum withdrawal is Your Net
Surrender Value minus three months' worth of Policy charges.  There may be little to no cash value available for loans and
withdrawals in the Policy’s early years.
Risk of Adverse Tax Consequences. Certain transactions (including, but not limited to, withdrawals, surrenders and loans)
may lead to a taxable event.  Under certain circumstances, Your Policy may become a MEC. Under federal tax law, loans,
collateral assignments, withdrawals, and other pre-death distributions received from a MEC Policy are taxed as income first and
recovery of cost basis, second.  Also, distributions includable in income received before You attain age 59½ are subject to a 10%
penalty tax.  Existing tax laws that benefit this Policy may change at any time.
Risk of Adverse Tax Consequences of Lapse Protection Benefit Rider. The Lapse protection benefits provided under the
Rider will not be achieved if the Policy is a MEC or becomes a MEC after the periodic borrowing begins.  Moreover, neither the
Internal Revenue Service nor the courts have ruled on whether the Lapse Protection Benefit Rider will keep the Policy from
lapsing for tax purposes, and that result may be subject to challenge by the IRS.  In this respect, even with the Lapse Protection
Benefit Rider, there is a risk that poor investment performance, together with ongoing deductions for insurance charges, will lead
to a substantial decline in the Policy’s cash value that could result in the Policy being treated for tax purposes as having Lapsed. 
In that event, a significant tax liability could arise when the Lapse is deemed to have occurred.
Risk of Limits Imposed on Transfers. We do not currently charge for transfers, but We reserve the right to charge up to $25
per transfer.  We have adopted procedures to limit excessive transfer activity.  In addition, each Fund may restrict or refuse
12
certain transfers among, or purchases of shares in their Portfolios as a result of certain market timing activities.  You should read
each Fund’s prospectus for more details. The minimum amount You may transfer is $1,000.  If, after the transfer, the amount
remaining in the Subaccount(s) or the Fixed Account would be less than the minimum amount that may be transferred, We
reserve the right to transfer the entire Subaccount Value or Fixed Policy Value instead of the requested amount.  The maximum
amount an Owner may transfer from the Fixed Account each Policy Year after the first Policy Year is the greater of (i) 25% of the
Fixed Policy Value measured on the preceding Policy Anniversary and (ii) the total dollar amount transferred from the Fixed
Account in the immediately preceding Policy Year.  Due to this limit, it could take a number of years to fully transfer or withdraw a
current balance from the Fixed Account.  We may also limit the number of investment options to which You may transfer cash
value, and, under certain conditions, We may have to approve transfers to the Fixed Account.
Risks Associated with Cyber Security.  We rely heavily on interconnected computer systems and digital data to conduct Our
variable product business activities.  Because Our variable product business is highly dependent upon the effective operation of
Our computer systems and those of Our business partners, Our business is potentially vulnerable to disruptions from utility
outages and other problems, and susceptible to operational and information security risks resulting from information systems
failure (hardware and software malfunctions) and cyber-attacks.  These risks include, among other things, the theft, misuse,
corruption and destruction of data maintained online or digitally, and unauthorized release of confidential customer information. 
For instance, cyber-attacks may: interfere with Our processing of Policy transactions, including the processing of orders from
Our website or with the Funds; cause the release and possible destruction of confidential customer or business information;
impede order processing; subject Us and/or Our service providers and intermediaries to regulatory fines and financial losses;
and/or cause reputational damage.  Cyber security risks may also affect the Funds.  Also, the risk of cyberattacks may be higher
during periods of geopolitical turmoil (such as the Russian invasion of Ukraine) and the responses by the United States and
other governments.
Risks Associated with the Company.  Investment in the Policy is subject to the risks related to Symetra Life.  Any obligations,
including obligations related to the Fixed Account, guarantees, and benefits provided for under the Policy are subject to Our
financial strength and claims paying ability.  The assets of Our General Account support Our insurance and annuity obligations
and are subject to Our general liabilities from business operations and to claims by Our creditors.  Policy Value in the Fixed
Account, plus any guarantees under the Policy that exceed Your Policy Value (such as those that may be associated with the
Death Benefit), are paid from Our General Account.  We maintain a minimum amount of capital in excess of assets that offset
reserves, which acts as a cushion in the event that We suffer financial impairment, based on certain risks in Our operations. 
For the Company, such risks include those associated with losses that We may incur as the result of defaults on the payment of
interest or principal on assets held in Our General Account, which include bonds, loans secured by mortgages, and equity
securities, as well as the loss in value of these investments resulting from a loss in their market value.
SYMETRA LIFE, SYMETRA SEPARATE ACCOUNT SL, THE GENERAL ACCOUNT, THE FIXED ACCOUNT, AND THE
FUNDS
SYMETRA LIFE
Symetra Life Insurance Company provides individual and group life, accident and health insurance, and annuity products and is
licensed to do business in the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and all states except New York.  Our Home Office is located at
777 108th Avenue NE, Suite 1200, Bellevue, WA 98004.
The obligations under the Policy, including obligations related to the Fixed Account, guarantees, and benefits provided for under
the Policy are subject to Our financial strength and claims-paying ability. 
SYMETRA SEPARATE ACCOUNT SL
The Variable Account is divided into Subaccounts, each of which invests in the shares of a specific Fund. These Subaccounts
buy and sell Fund shares at net asset value without any sales charge. Any dividends and distributions from a Fund are
reinvested at net asset value in shares of that Fund.
Under Iowa law, the assets in the Variable Account are the property of Symetra Life. Variable Account assets are held separately
from Symetra Life’s other assets and are not part of Our General Account. Variable Account assets may not be used to pay any
of Our liabilities other than those arising from the Policies and other variable life insurance policies We issue through the Variable
Account.  Income, gains and losses credited to, or charged against the Variable Account reflect the Variable Account's own
investment experience and not the investment experience of Symetra Life. If the Variable Account’s assets exceed the required
reserves and other liabilities, We may transfer the excess to Our General Account.
Promises We make in the Policy are general obligations of Symetra Life and are not dependent on assets in the Variable
Account.
13
Changes to the Variable Account.  Where permitted by applicable law, We reserve the right to make certain changes to the
structure and operation of the Variable Account, which may include:
•Transferring assets supporting the Policies from one Subaccount to another or from the Variable Account to another
separate account;
•Removing, combining, or adding Subaccounts, and making the combined or added Subaccounts available for allocation
of premium payments;
•Closing certain Subaccounts to allocations of new premium or transfer of Policy Value by existing or new Owners;
•Substituting shares of a Fund, which may have different fees and expenses, for shares of a Fund in which a
Subaccount currently invests;
•Combining the Variable Account with other separate accounts and/or creating new separate accounts;
•Deregistering the Variable Account under the Investment Company Act of 1940, or operating the Variable Account or
any Subaccount as a management investment company, or as any other form permitted by law;
•Managing the Variable Account under the direction of a committee at any time;
•Making any changes required by applicable law or regulation; and
•Modifying the provisions of the Policy to reflect changes to the Subaccounts and the Variable Account and to comply
with applicable law.
We will notify You of any changes. We reserve the right to make other structural and operational changes affecting the Variable
Account.
THE GENERAL ACCOUNT
The Fixed Account is part of Symetra Life’s General Account. Unlike premium payments and Policy Value allocated to the
Variable Account, We assume the risk of investment gain or loss on amounts held in the Fixed Account. The assets of the
General Account may be used to pay the claims of any of Our policy owners as well as Our creditors. The General Account
invests its assets in accordance with state insurance law.
The assets of Our General Account support Our insurance and annuity obligations and are subject to Our general liabilities from
business operations and to claims by Our creditors. Policy Value in the Fixed Account, plus any guarantees under the Policy
that exceed Your Policy Value (such as those that may be associated with the Death Benefit), are paid from Our General
Account. The Company complies with State insurance laws and regulations require that life insurance companies, including the
Company, to hold assets in its General Account equal to a special liability called “reserves” which, under such laws and
regulations, are considered by the insurance regulators to be sufficient for the Company to meet its contractual obligations to
policyholders. State insurance regulators also require life insurance companies to maintain a minimum amount of capital in
excess of assets that offset reserves, which acts as a cushion in the event that the insurer suffers financial impairment, based
on the specific risks in the insurer’s operations.
THE FIXED ACCOUNT
The Fixed Account consists of assets owned by Symetra Life other than those in the Variable Account.
Policy Value in the Fixed Account will be credited with the interest rate established for the date that We receive the funds. This
rate will be applied as of the date We receive the funds and continue for at least 12 months.  We may change interest rates for
successive 12-month periods at Our discretion. Annual effective guaranteed interest rates will never be less than the minimum
shown in Your Policy.  You bear the risk that the rate of interest that We credit will not exceed that minimum.  We may declare
more than one interest rate for different money based upon the date of allocation or transfer to the Fixed Account. For purposes
of crediting interest, Policy Value deducted, transferred or withdrawn from the Fixed Account is accounted for on a “first-in, first-
out” basis.
Net Premium is placed in the Fixed Account during the Cancellation Period.  See "Cancellation Period” in PURCHASING THE
POLICY for more information.  We reserve the right to restrict or remove the Fixed Account as an investment option available
under the Policy.
Interests in the Fixed Account are not securities and therefore Our offering of such interests pursuant to the Policies has not
been registered with the SEC.
THE FUNDS
Each Subaccount of the Variable Account invests in shares of a corresponding Fund.  Each Fund is part of the Vanguard
Variable Insurance Fund, a series fund that is an open-end investment management company registered with the SEC.  A
description of the Funds available under the Policy, including each Fund’s type, name, investment advisor and any sub-advisor,
current expenses and performance is available under APPENDIX A: FUNDS AVAILABLE UNDER THE POLICY.
You can also find more detailed information about the Funds in the Fund prospectuses. You can obtain free copies of the Fund
prospectuses by contacting Us at 1-800-796-3872 or by visiting www.symetra.com/regulatoryreports. You should read the Fund
14
prospectuses carefully. If You received a summary prospectus for a Fund listed in APPENDIX A: FUNDS AVAILABLE UNDER
THE POLICY, please follow the directions on the first page of the summary prospectus to obtain a copy of the full prospectus.
VOTING RIGHTS
Symetra Life is the owner of the Funds’ shares. However, when a Fund solicits proxies in connection with a shareholder vote,
We will ask You for instructions as to how to vote those shares attributable to Your Variable Policy Value indirectly invested in
that Fund. Before a vote of a Fund’s shareholders occurs, You will receive voting materials in accordance with the procedures
established by the Fund. You will have the right to instruct Us on the number of Fund shares that corresponds to the amount of
Policy Value that You have in that Fund. Your number of votes is calculated separately for each Subaccount and may include
fractional votes.
We vote Fund shares for which no timely instructions are received from Owners in proportion to the voting instructions that are
received from other Owners with respect to that Fund. For this reason, a small number of Owners may control the outcome of a
vote. Should We determine that We are permitted by law to do so, We will vote the shares in Our own right.  You have no voting
rights with respect to values in the Fixed Account.
Disregard of Voting Instructions.  Symetra Life may, when required to do so by state insurance authorities, vote shares of the
Funds without regard to instructions from Owners if such instructions would require the shares to be voted to cause any Fund to
make (or refrain from making) investments which would result in changes in the sub classification or investment objectives of the
Fund. Symetra Life may also disapprove changes in the investment policy initiated by the owners or trustees of the Funds. 
Symetra Life will disapprove such changes if it believes disapproval is reasonable and it determines in good faith that the change
would:
•violate state or federal law;
•be inconsistent with the investment objectives of the Funds; or
•vary from the general quality and nature of investments and investment techniques used by other funds with similar
investment objectives and underlying other variable policies offered by Symetra Life.
In the event that Symetra Life does disregard voting instructions, a summary of this action and the reasons for such action will be
included in the next semi-annual or annual report to Owners.
CHARGES AND FEES
This section describes the charges and deductions that We make under the Policy in consideration for the services and benefits
We provide, the costs and expenses We incur, and the risks We assume. We may profit from the charges and fees and We may
use any such profits for any purpose, including payment of distribution expenses. The current and maximum guaranteed levels
of the charges and deductions are presented in the Fee Table.
PREMIUM CHARGE
Upon payment of each premium, We will deduct 10% as a premium charge before We allocate the Net Premium Payments to
the Subaccounts or the Fixed Account. The premium charge compensates Us for certain sales expenses and state and federal
tax liabilities associated with the Policies.
MONTHLY DEDUCTION
Each month We will deduct an amount from Your Policy Value to pay for the benefits provided by Your Policy. This is referred to
as the "Monthly Deduction" and consists of:
•the monthly administrative charge; plus
•the monthly expense charge; plus
•the monthly cost of insurance charge; plus
•the monthly Variable Policy Value charge; plus
•the monthly cost of additional benefits provided by riders.
We deduct this charge on the Policy Date and on each Monthly Anniversary Day thereafter until the Policy Anniversary nearest
the Insured's 120th birthday ("Maturity Date").  We reduce Subaccount Values by liquidating Units and any Fixed Policy Value
either in the proportion that each Subaccount Value and any Fixed Policy Value bears to the Policy Value (less any Loan Account
Value), or as directed by the Owner.  Because portions of the Monthly Deduction (such as cost of insurance) can vary, the
Monthly Deduction will also vary. 
Monthly Administrative Charge.  We deduct a $20 monthly administrative charge from Your Policy Value to compensate Us for
issue and administrative costs.
15
Monthly Expense Charge.  We deduct a monthly expense charge from Your Policy to compensate Us for Our costs for sales,
administration, capital, taxes, and a variety of other expenses. This charge, expressed as an amount per $1,000 of Initial
Specified  Amount, will vary by the Issue Age, Risk Class, Initial Specified Amount, Policy duration (i.e., how long the Policy has
been in force), and if permitted by state law, sex.
Monthly Cost of Insurance Charge.  The monthly cost of insurance charge depends upon a number of variables that cause the
charge to vary from Policy to Policy and from month to month. The charge is computed at the beginning of each Policy month
and is equal to the cost of insurance rate multiplied by per $1,000 of the Net Amount at Risk.
To determine the monthly cost of insurance rates, We use a schedule of current cost of insurance rates and consider a number
of factors. The factors include, but are not limited to:  (i)  Attained Age, Issue Age, Risk Class of the Insured, and if permitted by
state law, sex; (ii) Policy duration; (iii) the Company’s expectations as to future mortality experience; (iv) taxes; (v) capital and
reserve requirements; (vi) investment earnings; and (vii) other expenses. We review the monthly cost of insurance rates on an
ongoing basis and may, based on changes in such factors, change monthly cost of insurance rates from time to time. Any
changes in cost of insurance rates are determined in accordance with procedures and standards on file with the insurance
department of the jurisdiction in which the Policy is delivered and are made on a uniform basis for Insureds of the same class as
defined by Attained Age, Issue Age, Risk Class, Policy duration, and if permitted by state law, sex. The rates will never be
greater than the Table of Guaranteed Maximum Cost of Insurance Rates stated in Your Policy.
The "Risk Class" is a category in which each prospective Insured is placed by the Company as a result of underwriting the
Owner's application. Risk Classes reflect the Company's assessment of the life expectancy of the Insureds in the class and will
affect the cost of insurance rates. In determining underwriting classifications, We apply certain criteria that are based on an
assessment of the Insured’s life expectancy. We currently place Insureds into preferred or standard Risk Classes: standard
nicotine, preferred nicotine, standard non-nicotine, standard plus non-nicotine, preferred non-nicotine, super preferred non-
nicotine. We also place Insureds in substandard Risk Classes with extra ratings that reflect higher mortality risks and will result in
higher cost of insurance rates. Examples of reasons an Insured may be placed into a substandard Risk Class include (where
permitted by state law), but are not limited to, medical history, avocation, occupation, driving record, or planned future travel.
The guaranteed rates for standard classes are based on the 2017 Commissioners' Standard Ordinary Mortality Tables, and if
permitted by state law, Male or Female ("2017 CSO Tables").  The guaranteed rates for substandard classes are based on
multiples of or additions to the 2017 CSO Tables that are relevant to Your Policy. If Your Policy was issued prior to November 5,
2019, the guaranteed rates are based on the 2001 Commissioners' Standard Ordinary Mortality Tables, and if permitted by state
law, Male or Female. Cost of insurance rates for an Insured in a non-nicotine class are less than or equal to rates for an Insured
of the same age and if permitted by state law, sex in a nicotine class. Cost of insurance rates for an Insured in a non-nicotine or
nicotine “standard” class are generally lower than guaranteed rates for an Insured of the same age and if permitted by state law,
sex and nicotine status in a “substandard” class.
For a better understanding of how the cost of insurance and other charges affect Policy Values, You should request a
personalized illustration from Your registered representative.
Monthly Variable Policy Value Charge.  We deduct a monthly charge as a percentage of Your Variable Policy Value. We may
use revenue from this charge to cover a variety of types of expenses, including sales expenses. In some cases, the monthly
Variable Policy Value charge We deduct from each Subaccount during Policy Years 11 and later is lower than the maximum
charge deducted during the first 10 Policy Years.
If this charge, combined with other Policy fees and charges, does not cover Our total actual costs for services rendered and
expenses incurred, We will absorb the loss. Conversely, if the charge covers more than Our actual costs, then the excess is a
profit for Us. We expect to profit from this charge.
Monthly Cost of Additional Benefits Provided by Riders.  The Monthly Deduction will include any charges for certain
supplemental benefits that You add to Your Policy by rider. See OTHER  BENEFITS AVAILABLE UNDER THE POLICY for more
information on rider charges.
SURRENDER CHARGE
The surrender charge compensates Us for expenses incurred in connection with the sale of the Policy.
Your Policy was issued with a surrender charge schedule. We will deduct a surrender charge if You surrender Your Policy
during the first fifteen (15) Policy Years. This charge varies by Policy duration and by the Issue Age, Risk Class of the
Insured, and if permitted by state law, sex. The charge is also a function of the Initial Specified Amount. The surrender
charge is assessed per $1,000 of Initial Specified Amount. If a Policy is reinstated, the amount of the surrender charge is
reinstated. See “Reinstatement” in POLICY LAPSE AND REINSTATEMENT for more information.
The surrender charge does not apply to withdrawals.

The table below provides an example of the surrender charge applied to a Policy with a male, age 45 on the Issue Date and
standard non-tobacco user class.  For more information on the rate that would apply to You, please contact Your registered
representative or Us.

WITHDRAWAL PROCESSING FEE
The Withdrawal Processing Fee of $25 is currently waived, however, We reserve the right to deduct the fee to cover the costs
We incur in processing withdrawals. Unless You instruct Us otherwise, We will deduct the withdrawal and any withdrawal
processing fee from the Fixed Policy Value and Subaccount Value in the same proportion as We take Monthly Deductions. If this
is not possible, We will deduct withdrawals and withdrawal processing fees proportionately from the Subaccounts and any Fixed
Accounts in which You are invested. 
TRANSFER PROCESSING FEE
We currently allow You to make twenty-four (24) transfers among and between the Subaccounts and the Fixed Account each
Policy Year free of charge.  The Transfer Processing Fee of $25 is currently waived but We reserve the right to deduct a charge
for additional transfers.  If We do impose this fee, We would deduct the transfer processing fee from the amount being
transferred and the following exceptions would apply:
1.Each transfer request, regardless of the number of Subaccounts affected by the transfer, would be considered a single
transfer.
2.Transfers resulting from automatic rebalancing, Policy loans, or expiration of the Cancellation Period, would not count
as transfers.
LOAN INTEREST SPREAD
We currently charge interest on the amount borrowed when You take a loan from Us using Your Policy as collateral. We will also
credit the amount in the Loan Account with interest at an effective annual rate that will not be lower than the minimum
guaranteed interest rate for the Fixed Account shown in Your Policy. After offsetting the interest We credit, the net cost of loans
will not exceed 1%. For more detail, see “Loans” in ACCESS TO YOUR POLICY VALUE.
17
TAXES
Premium Taxes.  States and municipalities may charge Us premium taxes ranging from 0% to 3.5%. These taxes vary by
jurisdiction and are subject to change. We deduct the applicable tax as a part of the Premium Charge.
Income or Other Taxes.  We reserve the right to deduct a charge from Your Policy to cover the expense of taxes We pay
attributable to Your Policy.
COMMISSIONS PAID TO BROKER-DEALERS
Registered representatives who solicited sales of the Policies receive a portion of the commission payable to the broker-dealer
firm, depending on the agreement between the broker-dealer and the registered representative. We generally pay commissions
as a percentage of premiums invested in the Policy. The amount and timing of the commission may differ depending on the
agreement between Us and the broker-dealer but is not expected to be more than 125% of premiums paid during the first Policy
Year or more than 5.5% during Policy Years after the first.
Ask Your registered representative for further information about the compensation Your registered representative
and the selling firm that employs Your registered representative may receive in connection with Your purchase of
the Policy. You also should inquire about any compensation arrangements that We and Our affiliates have with the
selling firm, including conflicts of interest that such arrangements may create.
FUND EXPENSES
There are deductions from and expenses paid out of the assets of the various Funds. These expenses are summarized in the
Total Annual Fund Expenses table of this prospectus. For more detailed information, You should refer to the Fund prospectuses.
VARIATION IN CHARGES
There may be circumstances that result in sales or administrative expenses or insurance risks that are different from those
normally associated with this Policy. Under such circumstances, We may vary the charges and other terms of the Policies, but in
no event will the charges exceed the maximum charges identified in the fee tables in this prospectus. Any reduction in charges
associated with the Policy must be consistent with applicable law, will be applied in a manner that is not unfairly discriminatory to
Owners, and will reflect the differences in costs of services provided.
PURCHASING A POLICY
The Policy is no longer offered for sale.  At the time You purchased the Policy, We conducted underwriting to determine Your
Risk Class.  Insurance coverage became effective on the date We issued the Policy (generally the date on which We accepted
Your application, determined You met Our underwriting and administrative requirements and received any required Initial
Premium Payment.)
PREMIUM PAYMENTS
Premium payments may be made by check, wire or EFT. You may change the method of paying premiums at any time without
charge.  If You made Your Initial Premium Payment through Electronic Funds Transfer (“EFT”) and a specific draft date was
requested, Your Issue Date was at least three business days after the requested draft date. If no specific date was requested,
Your Policy was dated as of the underwriter approval date with the draft date being three business days prior.
The Monthly Deductions under the Policy are measured from and deducted as of the Policy Date. In certain situations, Your
Policy Date may pre-date Your Issue Date.  If You chose a Policy Date that pre-dated the Issue Date, charges were deducted
prior to Your Issue Date.
CANCELLATION PERIOD
You may examine the Policy and, if for any reason You are not satisfied, You may cancel the Policy by returning it with a written
request to cancel the Policy to Our Administrative Office or to the sales representative who sold it to You within thirty-five (35)
calendar days after the Issue Date (the "Cancellation Period"). If You decide to cancel Your Policy during the Cancellation
Period, We will refund the premium payments made, minus any withdrawals, promptly, and will treat the Policy as if it had never
been issued.
We hold the Net Premium Payments received for Your Policy during the Cancellation Period in the Fixed Account. At the
expiration of the Cancellation Period, We will reallocate the Net Premium Payment(s) less Monthly Deductions, plus credited
interest, held in the Fixed Account to the investment options available under an Owner’s Policy, based on the Owner’s allocation
instructions in effect at that time.
18
OWNERSHIP RIGHTS
The Policy belongs to the Owner named in the application unless changed.  The Owner, may exercise all of the rights and
options described in the Policy. The Insured is the Owner unless the application specifies a different person as Owner. If the
Owner dies before the Insured and no contingent Owner is named, then ownership of the Policy will pass to the Owner’s estate
(subject to applicable community property laws).
The principal rights an Owner may exercise are to:
1.select the Tax Compliance Test;
2.designate or change any Beneficiary or contingent Beneficiary before the death of the Insured;
3.change the Owner;
4.select or change a contingent Owner of the Policy;
5.allocate Net Premium Payments and Policy Value among and between the Subaccounts and any Fixed Accounts; and
6.surrender, take a loan, or assign the Policy.  See ACCESS TO YOUR POLICY VALUE for more information.
Tax Compliance Tests. Under Section 7702 of the Code, a policy will generally be treated as life insurance for federal tax
purposes if, at all times, it meets either a Guideline Premium Test (“GPT”) or a Cash Value Accumulation Test (“CVAT”). The
Owner must elect either the GPT or CVAT on the Policy application. Once the Policy is issued, You may not change to a different
test. The amount of the Death Benefit will vary depending on which test is used, and it may affect the amount of premiums You
may pay, and the amount of Policy fees and charges You pay. 
In deciding whether to choose the CVAT, You should consider that the CVAT generally permits more premiums to be contributed
to a Policy, but may require the Policy to have a higher Death Benefit, which may increase certain charges.
The GPT has two components, a premium limit component and a corridor component. The premium limit restricts the amount of
premium that can be paid into the Policy. The corridor requires that the Death Benefit be at least a certain percentage (varying
each year by Attained Age of the Insured) of the Policy Value. The CVAT does not have a premium limit, but does have a corridor
that requires that the Death Benefit be at least a certain percentage (varying based on the Attained Age, sex and Risk Class of
the Insured) of the Policy Value, adjusted for certain riders.
The corridor under the CVAT is different from the corridor under the GPT. Specifically, the CVAT corridor requires more Death
Benefit in relation to Policy Value than is required by the GPT corridor. Therefore, for a Policy in the corridor with no riders, as
Your Policy Value increases, Your Death Benefit will increase more rapidly under CVAT than it would under GPT.
Under the Guideline Premium Test, the Death Benefit equals the greater of:
1.The Specified Amount; or
2.A specified percentage, shown in Your Policy, of the Policy Value on the Insured's date of death. 
The Death Benefit factor is the minimum multiple of Policy Value We must pay as the Death Benefit under federal tax
requirements. The Death Benefit factor is shown in Your Policy for the Insured's Attained Age as of his or her death. The
following table indicates the Death Benefit factors for the GPT for different Attained Ages:
19
Attained Age
Death Benefit Factor
40 and under
2.50
41 to 45
2.50 minus 0.07 for each age over Attained Age 40
46 to 50
2.15 minus 0.06 for each age over Attained Age 45
51 to 55
1.85 minus 0.07 for each age over Attained Age 50
56 to 60
1.50 minus 0.04 for each age over Attained Age 55
61 to 65
1.30 minus 0.02 for each age over Attained Age 60
66 to 70
1.20 minus 0.01 for each age over Attained Age 65
71 to 75
1.15 minus 0.02 for each age over Attained Age 70
76 to 90
1.05
91 to 94
1.05 minus 0.01 for each age over Attained Age 90
95 to 99
1.01
100 and older
1.01
If the Code requires Us to determine the Death Benefit by reference to these Death Benefit factors, then the Policy is described
as “in the corridor.”  An increase in the Policy Value will increase Our risk, and We will increase the cost of insurance We deduct
from the Policy Value.
Guideline Premium Test Example: Assume that the Insured's Attained Age is under 40 and that there is no Loan Amount. A
Policy with a $100,000 Specified Amount will generally pay $100,000 in Death Benefit. However, because the Death Benefit
must be equal to or be greater than 2.50 times the Policy Value, any time the Policy Value exceeds $40,000, the Death Benefit
will exceed the $100,000 Specified Amount. The figure $40,000 is derived by solving for Policy Value in the following calculation:
$100,000 = 2.50 multiplied by the Policy Value.  Each additional dollar added to the Policy Value above $40,000 will increase the
Death Benefit by $2.50.
Similarly, for this Policy, as long as the Policy Value exceeds $40,000, each dollar taken out of the Policy Value will reduce the
Death Benefit by $2.50. If at any time the Policy Value multiplied by the Death Benefit factor is less than the Specified Amount,
then the Death Benefit will equal the Specified Amount of the Policy.
Under the Cash Value Accumulation Test, the Death Benefit equals the greater of:
1.The Specified Amount; or
2.A specified percentage, shown in Your Policy, multiplied by the Policy Value on the Insured's date of death.
The Death Benefit factor under CVAT is calculated as specified under Section 7702. It is based on the Insured’s sex, Risk Class,
Specified Amount band (if any), and Attained Age at the beginning of each Policy Year.
Cash Value Accumulation Test Example: Assume that a Policy has no Loan Amount. Also assume that the Policy has a
Specified Amount of $1,000,000 and the Death Benefit factor is 2.97. Under the Level Option, a Policy with a $1,000,000
Specified Amount will generally pay $1,000,000 in Death Benefits. However, because the Death Benefit for the Policy must be
equal to or be greater than 2.97 times the Policy Value, any time the Policy Value exceeds $336,700, the Death Benefit of the
Policy will exceed the $1,000,000 Specified Amount. The figure of $336,700 is derived by solving for Policy Value in the
calculation $1,000,000 = 2.97 multiplied by Policy Value. Each additional dollar added to the Policy Value above $336,700 will
increase the Death Benefit of the Policy by $2.97. Similarly, for this Policy, as long as the Policy Value exceeds $336,700, each
dollar taken out of the Policy Value will reduce the Death Benefit of the Policy by $2.97. If at any time the Policy Value multiplied
by the Death Benefit factor is less than the Specified Amount, the Death Benefit of the Policy will equal the Specified Amount of
the Policy.
Similarly, for this Policy, as long as the Policy Value exceeds $336,700, each dollar taken out of the Policy Value will reduce the
Death Benefit of the Policy by $2.97. If at any time the difference between the Policy Value and the Net Single Premium for riders
multiplied by the Death Benefit factor is less than the Specified Amount, the Death Benefit of the Policy will equal the Specified
Amount of the Policy.
Choosing the Beneficiary.  The Owner designated the Beneficiary (the person to receive the Death Benefit when the Insured
dies) in the application.  If the Owner designates more than one Beneficiary in a class, then each Beneficiary in the class shares
equally in any Death Benefit unless the Beneficiary designation states otherwise.  If the primary Beneficiary dies before the
20
Insured, then the contingent Beneficiary becomes the Beneficiary.  If both the primary Beneficiary and contingent Beneficiary die
before the Insured, then the Death Benefit will be paid to the Owner or the Owner's estate upon the Insured's death.
Owner and Beneficiary Changes.  The Owner of a Policy may change the Owner and change any Beneficiary or contingent
Beneficiary by Written Notice to Us, in good order. The request will take effect as of the date such Written Notice is signed by the
Owner. We are not liable, however, for payment or other action taken by Us before We receive such Written Notice.  Changing
the Owner may have tax consequences. You should consult a tax advisor before changing the Owner.
Conversion:  The Policy cannot be converted or exchanged unless applicable state law mandates that a conversion and/or
exchange is permissible.  See APPENDIX B: STATE VARIATIONS for more information.
PREMIUMS
Premium payments should be made payable to Symetra Life Insurance Company and in a form acceptable to us. You may
choose to pay premiums:
1.By personal check drawn on U.S. funds;
2.By Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT); or
3.By wire.
You may choose to make premium payments directly to Our Administrative Office or through a pre-authorized transfer from a
bank account. You can make Planned Periodic Payments using EFT by:
1.electing the EFT payment option on Your application or providing Us with a bank draft authorization form; and
2.providing Us with a voided check for account and bank routing information.
Monthly Planned Periodic Payments must be made by EFT.
You may change the method of paying premiums at any time without charge.
PLANNED PERIODIC PAYMENTS
You can schedule the amount and frequency of premium payments. We refer to these scheduled premiums as “Planned Periodic
Payments”. You can choose to pay them either annually, semi-annually, quarterly, or monthly. Subject to Our approval, You can
change the amount and frequency of Planned Periodic Payments. We will send Owners reminder notices for Planned Periodic
Payments.
Making Planned Periodic Payments is optional. If You make Planned Periodic Payments on time and in full, there is still no
guarantee that the Policy will not Lapse (i.e., terminate without value). See POLICY LAPSE AND REINSTATEMENT for more
information.
ADDITIONAL PREMIUMS
Additional premium payments may be made at any time before the Maturity Date while the Policy is in force and may be
necessary to prevent Lapse. Additional premium payments or other changes to the Policy can jeopardize a Policy’s tax status.
We will notify an Owner if a premium payment may result in a Policy becoming a MEC and will refund any portion of any
premium payment We determine to be in excess of the premium limit established by law to qualify the Policy as life insurance.
Unless You specify otherwise in a Written Notice, We will consider any unplanned premium payment made while a loan is
outstanding as a loan repayment.
Premium payments received in good order are credited to Your Policy on the business day We receive them at Our
Administrative Office. However, payments received at Our Administrative Office without all of the information necessary to
process them may postpone the crediting of Your payment to Your Policy. In addition, if Your check is received without the
necessary information We need to process it, processing delays will occur as We attempt to contact You to get the necessary
information.
In all cases, We will accept additional premium necessary to prevent the Policy from lapsing.
ALLOCATION OF NET PREMIUM PAYMENTS AND POLICY VALUE
You designated how Your Net Premium Payments were to be allocated when You applied for a Policy. You may change Your
allocation instructions without charge at any time by Written Notice or by telephone. The change will be effective as of the end of
the Valuation Period on which We receive Your Written Notice or telephone call.  All percentage allocations must be in whole
numbers. The sum of the allocations must equal 100%.
21
We allocate Net Premium Payments We receive during the Cancellation Period (including the initial Premium Payment) to
the Fixed Account. At the end of the Cancellation Period, the Net Premium Payment(s) less Monthly Deductions and plus
credited interest is (are) reallocated to any Subaccount that You selected, based on Your allocation instructions. Net
Premium Payments received after the Cancellation Period are allocated to the Subaccounts and/or the Fixed Account,
according to the allocation instructions We have at that time.
Whenever You allocate Net Premiums or transfer Policy Value into a Subaccount, We will credit Your Policy with the number of
Units for that Subaccount that can be acquired for such premium or transfer amount. We price each Subaccount Unit on each
Valuation Day using the Unit value determined at the closing of the regular business session of the New York Stock Exchange
(“NYSE”) (usually at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). We will credit amounts to the Subaccounts only on a Valuation Day. Your Policy
Value will vary with the investment experience of the Subaccounts in which You invest.
If a selected Subaccount is not available, Your allocation or transfer will not be carried out. We will contact You for further
instructions.
You are responsible for allocating Policy Value among the Subaccounts that are appropriate for Your own individual
circumstances and Your investment goals, financial situation, and risk tolerance. Because investment risk is borne by You, You
should carefully consider any decisions that You make regarding investment allocations.  You should periodically review how
Your Policy Value is allocated among the Subaccounts and the Fixed Account because market conditions and Your overall
financial objectives may change. You bear the risk of any decline in Your Policy Value resulting from the performance of the
Funds You have chosen.
CALCULATION OF POLICY VALUE
VARIABLE POLICY VALUE
The Variable Account reflects the investment experience of the Subaccounts to which it is allocated, any Net Premium Payments
and loan repayments allocated to the Subaccounts, transfers out of the Subaccounts, any withdrawals of Subaccount Value, any
Loan Amount transferred to the Loan Account, and that portion of any withdrawal processing fee, transfer processing fee, or the
Monthly Deduction attributable to the Subaccounts. The Variable Policy Value at any time is the sum of the Subaccount Values
for the Policy on the Valuation Day most recently completed. There is no minimum Variable Policy Value.
UNITS
The value of the variable portion of Your Policy will go up or down depending upon the investment performance of the
Subaccount(s) You choose. To keep track of this, We use a unit of measure called a Unit. The number of Units credited is
determined by dividing the dollar amount directed to each Subaccount by the value of the unit for that Subaccount.
The Unit value for each Subaccount was arbitrarily set initially at $10 when the Subaccount began operations. Thereafter, the
Unit value at the end of every Valuation Day is the Unit value at the end of the previous Valuation Day multiplied by the net
investment factor, as described below. The Subaccount Value for a Policy on any day is equal to the number of Units credited to
the Policy in that Subaccount by the Unit value for the Subaccount on that day.
The net investment factor is used to measure the change in Unit value for each Subaccount from one Valuation Period to the
next. The net investment factor may be greater or less than one, which means that the value of a Unit may increase or
decrease from Valuation Day to Valuation Day. The net investment factor for any Subaccount is determined by dividing (1) by
(2), where:
(1) is the result of
a.the net asset value per share of a Fund held in the Subaccount, determined at the end of the current
Valuation Period; plus
b.the per share amount of any dividend or income distributions made by the Fund to the Subaccount, if the “ex-
dividend” date occurs during the current Valuation Period; plus or minus
c.a per share charge or credit for any taxes reserved for, which is determined by Symetra Life to have resulted
from the operations of the Subaccount; and
(2) is the net asset value per share of the Fund held in the Subaccount, determined at the end of the immediately
preceding Valuation Period.
When You make Net Premium Payments or transfers into a Subaccount, We credit Your Policy with Units. Conversely, Units are
liquidated when You request a withdrawal or a transfer of money from a Subaccount, when the Monthly Deduction is assessed,
the Policy is surrendered, or Death Benefit Proceeds are paid. In either case, the increase or decrease in the number of Your
22
Units is determined by taking the amount of the Net Premium Payment, transfer, withdrawal and dividing it by the value of a Unit
on the date the transaction occurs.
Example:  Assume that on Monday, We receive a $1,000 Net Premium Payment from You before the NYSE closes. You have
told Us that You want this to go to the Fund A Subaccount. When the NYSE closes on that Monday, We determine that the
value of a Unit of the Fund A Subaccount is $20. We then divide $1,000 by $20 and credit Your Policy on Monday night with 50
Units for the Fund A Subaccount.
FIXED POLICY VALUE
The Fixed Policy Value under a Policy at any time is equal to:  (i) Net Premium Payments allocated to the Fixed Account, plus (ii)
Policy Value transferred to the Fixed Account; plus (iii) interest credited to the Fixed Account; minus (iv) transfers from the Fixed
Account (including any transfer fees deducted); minus (v) withdrawals from the Fixed Account (including any withdrawal
processing fee deducted); minus (vi) any applicable Monthly Deductions.
TRANSFER OF POLICY VALUE
While the Policy is in force and the Insured is still living, You can transfer Policy Value among and between any available
Subaccounts and the Fixed Account. We will accept transfer requests from You by telephone, by Written Notice sent by fax or
mail. Each transfer must be in good order.
Transfers to or from the Subaccounts will take effect at the end of the Valuation Period during which We receive the request, in
good order, at Our Administrative Office. If We receive a transfer request after the end of the Valuation Day, We will process the
order using the Subaccount Unit value determined at the end of the next Valuation Day.  We reserve the right to modify, restrict,
suspend or eliminate transfer privileges (including telephone transfers) at any time.
The following apply to transfers under the Policy:
•If Policy Value is transferred to the Fixed Account when the Lapse Protection Benefit Rider is in effect, the Lapse
Protection Benefit Rider will terminate. Transfers to the Fixed Account when the Lapse Protection Benefit Rider is in
effect may only be made by Written Notice.
•We will accept transfers by telephone or by written request.
•The minimum amount that may be transferred is $1,000. If, after the transfer, the amount remaining in the
Subaccount(s) or the Fixed Account would be less than the minimum amount that may be transferred, We reserve the
right to transfer the entire Subaccount Value or Fixed Policy Value instead of the requested amount.
•The maximum amount an Owner may transfer from the Fixed Account each Policy Year after the first Policy Year is the
greater of (i) 25% of the Fixed Policy Value measured on the preceding Policy Anniversary and (ii) the total dollar
amount transferred from the Fixed Account in the immediately preceding Policy Year.
Please note the following regarding transfer requests made by telephone:
•We will use reasonable procedures to confirm that the person giving instructions is authorized to do so.
•If We follow these procedures, We are not liable for any loss, damage, cost or expense from complying with instructions
We reasonably believe to be authentic.
•We require a form of personal identification before acting on instructions received by telephone, and We make a tape
recording of the instructions given by telephone.
Telephone, fax and website transfers, may not always be available. In addition, We can experience outages or slowdowns for a
variety of reasons. Such outages and slowdowns whether in Our systems, Your systems, or those of Your service provider or
Your agent may prevent or delay our receipt of Your transfer request. 
You also should protect Your password because self-service options will be available to anyone who provides Your password.
We will not be able to verify that the person using Your username and password and providing instructions is You or a person
authorized by You.
AUTOMATIC REBALANCING
After Your Policy Value has been invested, the performance of the Subaccounts may cause the percentage in each Subaccount
to change from Your original allocations. You can instruct Us to adjust Your investment in the Subaccounts and the Fixed
Account to maintain a predetermined mix on a quarterly basis. Once started, automatic rebalancing will continue until You
request Us to stop.  You can request to start or stop automatic rebalancing by telephone or by Written Notice.
23
LIMITS ON EXCESSIVE TRANSFERS AND MARKET TIMING ACTIVITY
Effects of Excessive Transfers and Market Timing Activity.  The Policy and the Funds are not designed for short term
trading or market timing, or for persons that make large, or frequent transfers. Such trading activity may be disruptive to portfolio
management strategies by causing forced and unplanned portfolio turnover, and increased trading and transaction costs. In
addition, these activities may require a Fund to maintain a higher level of cash than would otherwise be the case, resulting in lost
opportunity costs that must be indirectly borne by all Owners invested in the affected Subaccounts, not just those making the
transfers. These disruptive activities may increase expenses and adversely affect Fund performance, thereby negatively
impacting long-term Owners.
Detection and Deterrence.  Symetra Life discourages and does not accommodate frequent transfers or market timing activity.
Due to the potential adverse consequences to Owners, the Funds, Fund shareholders, and the Variable Account, We have
established certain policies and procedures to attempt to detect and deter market timing and disruptive trading. Under these
policies and procedures, various analytics are used to evaluate factors that may be indicative of frequent trading. For example,
transactions in Funds that exceed certain monetary thresholds may be scrutinized. Symetra Life also may review transactions
that occur close in time to other transactions in the same Policy or in multiple Policies under common ownership or influence.
Trading activity that is identified through these procedures, or as a result of any other information available, will be evaluated to
determine whether such activity might constitute frequent trading. These procedures may be modified from time to time as
appropriate to improve the detection of frequent trading, to facilitate monitoring for frequent trading in particular retirement plans
or other accounts, and to comply with applicable laws. Despite Our monitoring, however, We may not be able to detect or halt all
harmful trading. In addition, because other insurance companies (and retirement plans) with different policies and procedures
may invest in the Funds, We cannot guarantee that all harmful trading will be detected or that a Fund will not suffer from market
timing and disruptive trading among Subaccounts of variable products issued by these other insurance companies or retirement
plans.
In addition to the broad ability to restrict potentially harmful trading as described above, Symetra Life has adopted a policy under
which any Owner transferring $100,000 or more from a Subaccount may not transfer Policy Value back into that Subaccount for
90 days. Symetra Life will grant two exceptions to the 90-day policy, per rolling 12-month period. We will notify You in writing
after You trigger each exception to the 90-day policy.
We may impose other restrictions on transfers, or even prohibit transfers for any Owner who, in Our view, has abused or
appears likely to abuse, the transfer privilege, on a case-by-case basis. We may, at any time and without prior notice,
discontinue transfer privileges, modify Our procedures, impose holding period requirements, or limit the number, size, frequency,
manner or timing of the transfers that We permit. If We modify Our procedures, they will be applied uniformly to all Owners. We
also reserve the right to reverse a transfer if a Fund refuses or reverses Our order; in such instances some Owners may be
treated differently than others in that some transfers may be reversed and others allowed. For all of these purposes, We may
aggregate two or more variable insurance products that We believe are connected by Owners or persons engaged in trading on
behalf of Owners.
In addition to Our internal policies and procedures, We will administer Your Policy to comply with any applicable state, federal,
and other regulatory requirements concerning transfers. We may implement, administer, and charge You for any fee or
restriction, including redemption fees, imposed by any Fund. To the extent permitted by law, We also may defer the transfer
privilege at any time that We are unable to purchase or redeem shares of any of the Funds.
If a transfer request is rejected or Your transfer privileges have been restricted for any reason, We will attempt to inform You by
telephone the next business day. If We do not succeed in reaching You by telephone, We will send a letter to the last known
address of the Owner and/or the last known address of an assignee of record.
Our ability to detect market timing or other disruptive trading may be limited by operational and technological systems, as well as
by Our ability to predict strategies employed by Owners (or those acting on their behalf) to avoid detection. As a result, despite
Our efforts to prevent harmful trading activity among the Subaccounts available under this Policy, there is no assurance that We
will be able to detect or deter market timing or disruptive trading by such Owners or intermediaries acting on their behalf.
Moreover, Our ability to discourage and restrict market timing or disruptive trading may be limited by terms of the Policy and by
decisions of state regulatory bodies and court orders that We cannot predict.
Fund Frequent Trading Policies.  The Funds to which We submit purchase and redemption orders may also detect large or
unusual patterns of trades submitted by Us on behalf of all Our variable annuity contract owners and variable life policy owners.
Those Funds may require Us to investigate whether any of Our contract owners are engaged in market timing or other similar
activity and to cooperate with them to discourage such activity. If a Fund believes You are engaged in market timing activity, it
may require Us to block You from making transfers or purchases to the Fund. In addition, federal regulations may require Us to
provide individual transaction and contract owner information to the Funds when requested.
24
In addition to Our market timing procedures, the Funds to which We submit purchase and redemption orders may have their own
market timing policies and restrictions. Those policies and procedures, when applicable, are described in the prospectuses for
each of the Funds available for investment by You. We reserve the right to enforce the Funds' policies and procedures. Under
SEC rules, We are required to: (i) enter into a written agreement with each Fund or its principal underwriter that obligates Us to
provide to the Fund promptly upon request certain information about the trading activity of individual Owners, and (ii) execute
instructions from the Fund to restrict or prohibit further purchases or transfers by specific Owners who violate the market timing
policies established by the Fund.
In cases of large or frequent transfers, Fund managers or Symetra Life may reject trades that are determined to be detrimental
to other Fund investors or violate the Funds’ policies and procedures. Therefore, to the extent permitted by law, We may delay or
refuse to honor a transfer request to a Subaccount that invests in a Fund, or to reverse such a transfer request, at any time We
are unable to purchase or redeem shares of any of the Funds because of the Fund’s refusal or restriction on purchases or
redemptions.
We further reserve the right to implement, administer, and collect any fee or restriction, including redemption fees, imposed by
any Fund. Redemption fees, transfer limits, and other procedures or restrictions may be more or less successful than ours in
deterring market timing or other disruptive trading and in preventing or limiting harm from such trading. You should read the
prospectus of each Fund for more information about the Fund’s ability to refuse or restrict purchases or redemptions of its shares
and to impose redemption fees.
DEATH BENEFIT
DEATH BENEFIT PROCEEDS
If the Insured dies while the Policy is in force, We will pay the "Death Benefit Proceeds" described below  to the primary
Beneficiary(ies), if living, or to a contingent Beneficiary upon receipt of  Due Proof of Death. "Due Proof of Death" is proof of
death satisfactory to the Company that may consist of a certified copy of a death record, a certified copy of  a court decree
reciting a finding of death, or any other proof satisfactory to the Company. If no primary Beneficiary or contingent Beneficiary
survives the Insured, We will pay the Death Benefit Proceeds to the Owner or the Owner’s estate. We will pay the Death Benefit
in a single sum or under a payment option provided under the Policy that the Owner or the Beneficiary(ies) select(s). See
“Settlement Options” in OTHER INFORMATION ABOUT THE POLICY.
Proof of death acceptable to Us may consist of a certified copy of a death record, a certified copy of a court decree reciting a
finding of death, or any other proof satisfactory to Us.
The Death Benefit Proceeds equal:
•
The Death Benefit; plus
•
Any Death Benefit under any rider to the Policy; minus
•
Any liens; minus
•
Any Loan Amount; minus
•
Any unpaid Monthly Deductions if the Insured dies during
the Grace Period.
We may further adjust the amount of the Death Benefit if We contest the Policy based on Your misstatement of the Insured's Age
or, if permitted by state law, sex.
We will pay interest on the Death Benefit Proceeds from the date of death to the date of payment. The annual interest rate will be
at least 1%.  We will pay additional interest at an annual rate of 10% starting thirty-one (31) days following the latest of (1), (2) or
(3) below until the date the Death Benefit Proceeds are paid.
1.The date We receive Due Proof of Death at Our Administrative Office;
2.The date We receive sufficient information to determine Our liability, the extent of the liability, and the person(s) entitled
to the Death Benefit Proceeds; or
3.The date that legal impediments to payment of the Death Benefit Proceeds that depend on actions of parties other than
Symetra Life such as the establishment of guardianship and conservatorships, the appointment and qualification of
trustees, and the submission of information necessary to satisfy state and federal reporting obligations are removed to
Our satisfaction.
25
DEATH BENEFIT
Your Policy’s initial amount of insurance coverage, which You select in Your application, is its Initial Specified  Amount. The
maximum Specified Amount is generally $99 million. You may decrease, but not increase, Your Specified Amount.  Insurance
coverage becomes effective on the date We issue the Policy (generally the business day on which We accept Your application,
determine You meet Our underwriting and administrative requirements and receive any required Initial Premium Payment.)
The Death Benefit is the greater of the Specified Amount on the date of the Insured’s death or the applicable “corridor”
percentage of the Policy Value as of the Insured’s date of death, as shown in Your Policy. The amount of the Death Benefit is
determined at the end of the Valuation Period in which the Insured dies.  We also refer to the applicable corridor percentage as
the “Death Benefit factor,” and that concept is explained in detail under the section, “OWNERSHIP RIGHTS -Tax Compliance
Tests.”
The Policy is intended to qualify under Section 7702 of the Code as a life insurance policy for federal tax purposes. The Death
Benefit is intended to qualify for the federal income tax exclusion. The provisions of the Policy and any attached endorsement or
rider will be interpreted to ensure such qualification, regardless of any language to the contrary.
To the extent the Net Amount at Risk under Your Policy increases as a result of a premium payment, We may require evidence
of insurability satisfactory to us. We will make appropriate adjustments, prospectively, to the Monthly Deductions or any
supplemental benefits that are consistent with such an increase.
DECREASING THE SPECIFIED AMOUNT
After the first Policy Year, You can request a decrease of at least $10,000 in the Specified Amount by Written Notice to Us.
Decreases in the Specified Amount will allow You to decrease the planned premium amount and will decrease the Guideline
Premium payment. Changes take effect on the first Monthly Anniversary Day on or next following the date We approve the
change. We may decline to make a change that would decrease Your Specified Amount of insurance to less than the minimum
amount shown in Your Policy, or that would disqualify Your Policy as life insurance under tax law. We do not permit decreases in
Specified Amount during a Grace Period.
OTHER BENEFITS AVAILABLE UNDER THE POLICY
In addition to the standard death benefit associated with Your Policy, other standard and optional benefits may also be available
to You.  The following table summarizes the information about these benefits.  Information about the fees associated with each

LAPSE PROTECTION BENEFIT RIDER
Each Policy was issued with a Lapse Protection Benefit Rider.  This benefit helps to ensure that the Policy will remain in force
even if the Net Surrender Value is insufficient to cover Monthly Deductions. Under the Lapse Protection Benefit Rider, the Policy
will not Lapse as long as the Policy is in a Lapse Protection Benefit Period, as defined below.  We assess a charge for this
benefit, which is a percentage of the Specified Amount of the Policy. Investment restrictions apply.
Lapse Protection Benefit Period. A Lapse Protection Benefit Period is any period when:
•the Lapse Protection Value (defined below) is greater than or equal to the Lapse protection minimum value (as shown
on Your Policy specifications page); and
•the Policy’s Surrender Value exceeds any Loan Amount.
Lapse Protection Value. The Lapse Protection Value is computed monthly, taking into account credits and charges similar to
those used to calculate the Policy Value. Unlike the Policy Value, however, the Lapse Protection Value does not represent an
actual monetary value available to an Owner. Rather, it is a notional amount that is used to determine whether the Lapse
Protection Benefit is in effect.
The Lapse Protection Value is the sum of all premiums paid, and is adjusted for withdrawals, reduced by loans and increased by
loan repayments, reduced by Monthly Deductions, credited with interest, and proportionally reduced for Specified Amount
decreases. A surrender charge is applied to the Lapse Protection Value to determine whether the value remains positive. The
Lapse Protection Benefit surrender charge varies by issue age, Risk Class, Policy duration, and if permitted by state law, sex. 
•Withdrawals will proportionally reduce the Lapse Protection Value-e.g., a withdrawal that reduces the Policy Value by
10% will also reduce the Lapse Protection Value by 10%.
•Policy loans will result in a reduction (at a dollars-to-dollars ratio specified in the Policy) of the Lapse Protection Value in
the month the loan is taken. Likewise, any repayments of loan principal (excluding any interest) will be credited to the
Lapse Protection Value, applying the same specified ratio, in the month the loan repayment is received. Repayments of
loan interest will not be credited to the Lapse Protection Value.
Example:
◦Assume the dollars-to-dollars ratio is 2:1, the loan is $2,000 (excluding any advance interest charged), and
We assess a 3% interest charge on loans taken.
◦The loan results in a $4,000 (2 multiplied by $2,000) reduction in the Lapse Protection Value.
◦If a $60 payment of loan interest is made the following year, that payment is not credited to the Lapse
Protection Benefit.
◦If, however, the loan is fully repaid two years after the loan is taken with a payment of $2,060, then $4,000
(two times the loan principal amount) will be credited to the Lapse Protection Value.
•A Specified Amount decrease will proportionally reduce the Lapse Protection Value.  For example, if the Specified
Amount of the Policy is reduced by 25%, then the Lapse Protection Value will be reduced by 25% as well.
•Monthly Deductions from Lapse Protection Value:
◦COI charges are assessed against a Lapse Protection Value net amount at risk in a manner similar to the COI
charges assessed against Policy Value.
◦The Lapse Protection Benefit Rider Expense Charge consists of a flat monthly charge and a charge per
$1,000 of Specified Amount.  The range of how much this charge might be is set forth above in the table of
PERIODIC CHARGES OTHER THAN ANNUAL FUND EXPENSES.
◦Deductions of any charges for other riders that apply to Your Policy.
27
Interest is credited to the Lapse Protection Value each month, after all Monthly Deductions have been assessed.
Tax Consequences of Lapse Protection Benefit Rider.  Anyone contemplating the purchase of a Policy should be aware that
it involves several tax risks.  First, the Lapse protection benefits provided under the Rider will not be achieved if the Policy is a
MEC or becomes a MEC after the periodic borrowing begins.  Moreover, neither the Internal Revenue Service nor the courts
have ruled on whether the Lapse Protection Benefit Rider will keep the Policy from lapsing for tax purposes, and that result may
be subject to challenge by the IRS.  In this respect, even with the Lapse Protection Benefit Rider, there is a risk that poor
investment performance, together with ongoing deductions for insurance charges, will lead to a substantial decline in the Policy’s
cash value that could result in the Policy being treated for tax purposes as having Lapsed.  In that event, a significant tax liability
could arise when the Lapse is deemed to have occurred.  Anyone considering purchasing the Policy with the Lapse Protection
Benefit Rider should consult a competent tax adviser before purchasing the Policy about the tax risks inherent in exercising the
Lapse Protection Benefit Rider.  For more information, see TAXES.
Investment Restrictions of Lapse Protection Benefit Rider.  While the Lapse Protection Benefit Rider is in effect, You must
allocate all of Your Net Premium Payments and transfers of Policy Value to the Subaccounts. Any allocation of new Premium or
Policy Value to the Fixed Account after the Cancellation Period which is not related to an accelerated Death Benefit will terminate
the Lapse Protection Benefit Rider. 
Termination of Lapse Protection Benefit Rider.  Each Policy is issued with the Lapse Protection Benefit Rider. However, You
can terminate the Lapse Protection Benefit Rider by contacting Us.  In addition, allocation to the Fixed Account after the
Cancellation Period which is not related to an accelerated Death Benefit will terminate the Lapse Protection Benefit Rider.  Once
terminated, the Lapse Protection Benefit Rider cannot be reinstated. 
ACCELERATED DEATH BENEFIT FOR CHRONIC ILLNESS RIDER
Under this rider, up to 50% of the Death Benefit (subject to a $500,000 maximum) under the Policy can be accessed in advance
if a licensed health care practitioner (as defined in the rider) certifies during the prior 12-month period that the Insured:
1.is unable to perform (without substantial assistance from another person) at least two activities of daily living for at least
90 days due to a loss of functional capacity; or
2.has a severe cognitive impairment that requires substantial supervision to ensure the health and safety of the Insured
and others.
Unless the Policy was issued with substandard ratings, this rider was added to the Policy at issue. There is no separate charge
for this rider. If this rider is exercised, You may not exercise the Accelerated Death Benefit for Terminal Illness rider.  When the
rider is exercised, the accelerated death benefit is a lien against the Death Benefit. After the rider is exercised, Your death benefit
under the Policy will be equal to the greater of Your remaining death benefit or $5,000.  The accelerated death benefit may be
taken as a single sum or in monthly installments. No surrender charge will apply to the payment of an accelerated death benefit
under this rider.  There is no minimum benefit amount that must be taken.  If monthly payments will continue for more than 12
months, an annual recertification is required.  For an example of how the Accelerated Death Benefit for Chronic Illness Rider
works, please see APPENDIX C: BENEFIT EXAMPLES.
ACCELERATED DEATH BENEFIT FOR TERMINAL ILLNESS RIDER
Unless the Policy was issued with substandard ratings, this rider was added to the Policy at issue. There is no separate charge
for this rider. The benefit, which may only be taken as a single sum, allows an Owner to access up to 75% percent of the Death
Benefit (subject to a $500,000 maximum) under the Policy in advance if a licensed physician (as defined in the rider) certifies
that the Insured is terminally ill with less than 12 months to live.  You may only exercise the rider once and doing so will preclude
You from exercising any other accelerated death benefits available under the Policy.
Upon exercise of the rider, the remaining Policy Value is transferred to the Fixed Account. When exercised, this rider will reduce
the Death Benefit and the Surrender Value dollar for dollar. No surrender charge will apply to the payment of an accelerated
death benefit under this rider. There is no minimum benefit amount that must be taken.  For an example of how the Accelerated
Death Benefit for Terminal Illness Rider works, please see APPENDIX C: BENEFIT EXAMPLES.
CHARITABLE GIVING BENEFIT RIDER
This rider must have been elected at issue and was only available for Policies with a Specified Amount greater than $100,000.
There is no separate charge for this rider. Upon the Insured’s death, this rider provides an additional benefit of 1% of the
Specified Amount of the Policy (up to $100,000) to the qualified charity of the Owner’s choice. The charity must be designated at
the time of Policy issue and may be changed by Written Notice.  For an example of how the Charitable Giving Benefit Rider
works, please see APPENDIX C: BENEFIT EXAMPLES.
28
ACCELERATED DEATH BENEFIT FOR CHRONIC ILLNESS PLUS RIDER
This rider was only available for election at the time of application and full underwriting was required to qualify for issuance.
Under this rider, up to 100% of the Death Benefit under the Policy can be accessed, in advance, if the Insured:
1.is certified by a licensed health care practitioner (as defined in the rider), during the prior 12-month period, as being
unable to perform (without substantial assistance from another person) at least two activities of daily living for at least
90 days due to a loss of functional capacity; or
2.has a severe cognitive impairment requiring substantial supervision to ensure the health and safety of the Insured and
others; and
3.is annually recertified by a licensed health care practitioner residing and practicing in the U.S. to continue receiving
benefits.
The benefit can be paid as a single sum or through monthly payments and must be mailed to a U.S. address or U.S. financial
institution.  Once You access the Death Benefit under this rider, no additional premium payments will be due and all charges
under the Policy will be waived.  There is a charge for this rider that is expressed as an amount per $1,000 of Net Amount at
Risk and will vary by the Issue Age, Risk Class, Policy duration (i.e., how long the Policy has been in force), and if permitted by
state law, sex. For an example of how the Accelerated Death Benefit for Chronic Illness Plus Rider works, please see
APPENDIX C: BENEFIT EXAMPLES.
ACCESS TO YOUR POLICY VALUE
You can access money in Your Policy in the following ways:
•by taking loans against Your Net Surrender Value;
•by requesting withdrawals after the first Policy Year; and
•by surrendering Your Policy.
LOANS
While a Policy is in force, and after the completion of the Cancellation Period, the Owner may borrow money from the Policy
using the Policy’s Net Surrender Value as the only security for the loan.  A loan that is taken from and secured by a Policy may
have tax consequences. See “Policy Loans” in TAXES.
Policy loans are subject to certain conditions:
•The minimum Loan Amount is $1,000.
•The maximum amount an Owner may borrow (subject to any applicable state law requirement) is shown in the Policy.
When an Owner takes a loan, We will withdraw an amount equal to the requested loan from each of the Subaccounts and any
Fixed Account based on allocation instructions from the Owner, and transfer that amount to the Loan Account. The Loan Account
is part of Symetra Life’s General Account. No charge will be imposed for these transfers of Policy Value into the Loan Account,
and these transfers are not treated as transfers in calculating any transfer processing fee.
If the Owner does not specify the allocation, We will deduct the amount of the loan taken from the Subaccount Value(s) and the
Fixed Policy Value (excluding Loan Account Value) in the same proportion as We make Monthly Deductions. If that is not
possible, then We will make the allocation based on the proportion that each Subaccount Value and the Fixed Policy Value
(excluding Loan Account Value) bear to the Policy Value (less the Loan Account Value) as of the date that the transfer is made. If
unpaid interest is due from an Owner on a Policy Anniversary, Policy Value in the amount of the interest is transferred to the
Loan Account as of that anniversary and is added to the Loan Amount. The Policy Value transferred in connection with unpaid
loan interest is allocated on the same basis as other Policy Value that We transfer to the Loan Account.
We normally pay the amount of the loan taken within seven days after We receive a loan request by Written Notice signed by the
Owner, assignee, and any irrevocable Beneficiary. We will not be liable for processing a loan request if We believe the request is
genuine. We may postpone payment of loans under certain conditions.
Loan amounts are credited with interest and are also charged with interest. We will credit the amount in the Loan Account with
interest at an effective annual rate that will not be lower than the minimum guaranteed interest rate for the Fixed Account shown
in Your Policy. The interest rate We charge on borrowed amounts may vary, but will not exceed the greater of (i) the guaranteed
interest rate credited to the Fixed Account (as shown in Your Policy) plus 1% and (ii) the Moody’s Corporate Bond Yield Average
for the calendar month that ends two months before Your Policy Anniversary. In the event that the Moody’s Corporate Bond Yield
Average is not available or does not reflect prevailing interest rates for investment grade debt, We may substitute another widely-
recognized indicator of such prevailing interest rates.
29
Loan interest is payable in advance on the date of the loan and on each subsequent Policy Anniversary until the loan is repaid.
Loan interest that is not paid on the date due increases the outstanding Loan Amount and is charged loan interest.
You can repay a loan at any time while the Insured is living and the Policy is in force. Loan repayments must be sent to Our
Administrative Office and will be credited as of the Valuation Day it is received in good order. We will consider each additional
premium payment made while a loan is outstanding as a loan repayment, unless You specify otherwise in a Written Notice. Loan
repayments first pay down interest, then any additional loan repayment goes toward paying down the loan principal. Unless the
Owner instructs Us otherwise, We will allocate any repayment of loan principal to the Subaccounts and/or the Fixed Account in
accordance with the Owner’s allocation instructions for Net Premium Payments in effect at the time of such repayment.
Loan Interest Spread.  The loan interest spread is the difference between the amount of interest We charge You for a loan
and the amount of interest We credit to Your Loan Account. In no event will the loan interest spread exceed 1%.
Effect of Policy Loans.  A Policy loan reduces the Death Benefit and Surrender Value by an amount equal to the sum of any
unpaid Policy loan and accrued loan interest (the Loan Amount). Repaying the loan causes the Death Benefit and Surrender
Value to increase by the amount of the repayment. As long as a loan is outstanding, We hold an amount in the Loan Account
equal to the amount of the Loan Amount as of the last Policy Anniversary plus any accrued interest. Loaned amounts do not
participate in the investment performance of the Variable Account and may not be credited with the interest rates accruing on the
portion of Policy Value in the Fixed Account. Loan Amount is not available for withdrawal or surrender.
Loans also reduce the number of Units in the Subaccounts and/or the value in the Fixed Account, which, in turn, increases:
•the risk that You will not accumulate enough Policy Value to meet Your future financial needs.
•the potential for a Policy to Lapse if projected earnings, taking into account any Loan Amount, are not achieved and,
for example, as a result, the Loan Account Value exceeds the Surrender Value.
•the risk that Your Beneficiary will receive less money.
WITHDRAWALS
After the first Policy Year, You can request a cash withdrawal of a portion of Your Net Surrender Value subject to certain
conditions. The minimum withdrawal amount is $250. The maximum withdrawal amount is equal to Your Net Surrender Value
minus three months’ worth of Policy charges.
Withdrawals reduce Policy Value and the Specified Amount of a Policy by the amount of the requested withdrawal plus any
applicable withdrawal processing fee. If an Owner takes a withdrawal, We will reduce the number of Units in the Subaccounts
and/or the value of the Fixed Account. As a result, withdrawals have an effect on Your Surrender Value and the Death Benefit
payable under Your Policy. Withdrawals may also have tax consequences. See TAXES.
Withdrawal requests made by Written Notice received at Our Administrative Office before the NYSE closes, are priced using the
Subaccount Unit value determined at the close of that regular business session of the NYSE (usually, 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time). If
We receive the Written Notice at Our Administrative Office after the NYSE closes, or on a day that the NYSE is not open for
trading, We will process the withdrawal request using the Subaccount Unit value determined at the close of the next regular
business session of the NYSE. Your request must be submitted in good order to avoid a delay in processing the
transaction.
Unless otherwise indicated in the request for a withdrawal, We will deduct amounts withdrawn and any withdrawal processing
fees based on the allocation of Monthly Deductions.  If that is not possible, then We will deduct withdrawals and any related
withdrawal processing fee from the Subaccount Values and Fixed Policy Value based on the proportion that each Subaccount
Value and the Fixed Policy Value bear to the Policy Value (excluding the Loan Account Value).  If an Owner requests a decrease
in Specified Amount as of the same date as a withdrawal, We will effectuate the withdrawal after the requested decrease in
Specified Amount.
We currently do not assess a charge for withdrawals but reserve the right to charge a processing fee of $25 for each withdrawal
taken. In addition, We reserve the right to reject a withdrawal request that would cause the Specified Amount of a Policy to be
reduced below a minimum amount shown in Your Policy. We also reserve the right to reject any withdrawal request that would
reduce the Specified Amount below the minimum We require for Policy issue or that would disqualify the Policy as life insurance
under tax law.
SURRENDER
You may end the insurance coverage under this Policy and receive the Net Surrender Value at any time by sending Written
Notice to Us while the Insured is living and the Policy is in force. Once a Policy is surrendered, all coverage and other benefits
under it cease and it cannot be reinstated.
30
If the Owner surrenders the Policy during the first fifteen (15) Policy Years (referred to here as the “surrender charge schedule”),
We will deduct a surrender charge. See “Surrender Charge” in CHARGES AND FEES. The Net Surrender Value is equal to the
Policy Value minus: (i) any applicable surrender charges; and (ii) any Loan Amount. The Surrender Value may be subject to
current tax and tax penalties. See TAXES.
We will compute the Surrender Value as of the date We receive Your Written Notice in good order at Our Administrative Office.
The "Surrender Value" is equal to the Policy Value minus any applicable surrender charge.  We will make a single sum payment
to You, unless You request an alternate settlement option by Written Notice. See Settlement Options under OTHER
INFORMATION ABOUT THE POLICY.  We have the right to postpone payment as permitted by law.
CONSEQUENCES OF LOANS, WITHDRAWALS AND SURRENDERS
Making a withdrawal or taking a loan may:
•Reduce Your Policy’s Specified Amount.
•Reduce the Death Benefit paid to Your Beneficiary(ies).
•Make Your Policy susceptible to Lapse.
•Cause Your Policy to lose its tax status.
•Trigger federal income taxes and possibly a penalty tax.
Withdrawals reduce Your Policy Value. Withdrawals, especially those taken during periods of poor investment performance by
the Subaccounts, could considerably reduce or eliminate some benefits or guarantees of the Policy.
Loan Amounts do not participate in earnings from the Subaccounts or receive higher interest rates that may be available in the
Fixed Account. Accordingly, loans, whether or not repaid, have a permanent effect on the amount of Policy Value You are able to
accumulate. Loans may also result in Policy Lapse if the Loan Amount reduces the Net Surrender Value to zero. You should
consult a tax advisor before borrowing money from Your Policy.
You may be subject to income tax if:
•You take any withdrawals or surrender the Policy; or
•Your Policy Lapses and You have not paid any outstanding Policy loans.
If Your Policy is treated as a MEC, withdrawals, surrenders, assignments, pledges and loans that You receive or make during
the life of the Policy may be taxable and subject to a federal tax penalty equal to 10% of the taxable amount if taken before age
59½. See “Modified Endowment Contracts” in TAXES.
You should consult a tax advisor to apply the law to Your particular circumstances.
POLICY LAPSE AND REINSTATEMENT
A Policy "Lapse" shall mean termination of the Policy, without value, at the expiration of a Grace Period while the Insured is still
living and before the Maturity Date. Failure to pay Planned Periodic Premium Payments will not necessarily cause a Policy to
terminate without value ("Lapse"). Nor will paying all Planned Periodic Premium Payments necessarily prevent a Policy from
lapsing. Unless the Policy is in a Lapse Protection Benefit Period (see LAPSE PROTECTION BENEFIT RIDER), the Policy will
Lapse if the Net Surrender Value is not sufficient to cover the Monthly Deduction. More specifically, the Policy will be in default
and a Grace Period of 61 days will begin if the Net Surrender Value on any Monthly Anniversary Day is less than the amount of
the Monthly Deduction due on that date. This could happen if investment experience has been sufficiently unfavorable that it has
resulted in a decrease in Net Surrender Value or the Net Surrender Value has decreased because the Owner has not paid
sufficient Net Premium Payments to offset prior Monthly Deductions.
The Owner has a 61-day "Grace Period" to make a payment of premium at least sufficient to keep the Policy in force for two
Policy months following the end of the Grace Period. We will mail to the Owner and to any assignee of record at their last known
Address(es) of Record, notice of the premium payment or loan repayments required to prevent Lapse and to keep the Policy in
force for two Policy months following the end of the Grace Period. Coverage under the Policy will continue during the Grace
Period. If the Insured dies during the Grace Period, the Death Benefit payable to the Beneficiary(ies) will reflect a reduction for
the Monthly Deductions due on or before the date of the Insured’s death as well as any Loan Amount or liens. Unless the
amount of premium stated in the notice is paid before the Grace Period ends, the Policy will Lapse and all coverage under the
Policy will end. (For this purpose, We consider payments mailed to Us as being received by Us on the date they are post-
marked.) Policy Lapse may have tax consequences. See TAXES for more information.
Attained Age 120.  On the Monthly Anniversary Day immediately following the Insured’s reaching Attained Age 120, the Policy
will not enter the Grace Period or Lapse, even if the Surrender Value is insufficient to cover the Monthly Deduction due on the
31
Monthly Anniversary Day. The Policy will remain in force until the death of the Insured, and the Death Benefit will equal the Death
Benefit at Attained Age 120 minus any Loan Amount.
Reinstatement. If Your Policy Lapses, You have up to three (3) years from the end of the Grace Period and while the Insured is
living, to request reinstatement of Your Policy. You cannot reinstate a Policy that has been surrendered. Reinstatement allows
You to keep Your original Policy Date, and the surrender charge is determined using that Policy Date.
To reinstate Your Policy, You must:
•provide Us satisfactory evidence of insurability;
•pay premium in an amount sufficient to result (along with any loan repayments) in a positive Net Surrender Value; and
•pay premium that results in Net Premium Payments in an amount that covers or exceeds the amount of Monthly
Deductions for at least three months following the reinstatement date.
Coverage that We reinstate under Your Policy becomes effective on the Monthly Anniversary Day that falls on or next follows the
later of the date that:  (i) We approve Your application for reinstatement; and (ii) We receive any premium payment required for
reinstatement.
Upon reinstatement, We will reinstate any Loan Amount at the time of Policy Lapse. In addition, the surrender charge and the
following riders available under the Policy will be reinstated:  Accelerated Death Benefit for Chronic Illness; Accelerated Death
Benefit for Terminal Illness; Charitable Giving Benefit; and Chronic Illness Plus. The Lapse Protection Benefit Rider will not be
reinstated.
The Policy Value of a reinstated Policy is the Policy Value on the date the Policy Lapsed plus the amount of the Net Premium
Payments submitted with the application for reinstatement. The effective date of a reinstated Policy is the Monthly Anniversary
Day that falls on or next follows the later of the date that We approve Your application for reinstatement or the above-listed items
are received at the Administrative Office.
Unlike many companies, We do not ask You to pay premium for the period after the Policy Lapsed and before reinstatement; nor
is there insurance coverage for this period.
TAXES
This section discusses how federal income tax applies to the Policy in general. This information is not complete and is not
intended as tax advice. Tax laws and their interpretations are complex and subject to change. This discussion is based upon Our
understanding of the present federal income tax laws. Although the likelihood of legislative changes is uncertain, there is always
the possibility that the tax treatment of the Policy could change by legislation or otherwise. We cannot represent that the present
federal income tax laws or their interpretation will continue. You should consult counsel or another competent tax advisor about
Your individual circumstances.
TAX STATUS OF THE POLICY
If Your Policy meets certain requirements under the Code, it will be treated as life insurance for federal tax purposes and receive
the tax treatment normally accorded life insurance contracts under federal tax law. Guidance as to how these requirements are
to be applied is limited. Nevertheless, We believe that a policy issued on a standard class basis should satisfy the applicable
requirements. There is less guidance, however, with respect to policies issued on a substandard basis, and it is not clear
whether such policies will in all cases satisfy the requirements. We will monitor compliance of Your Policy with these
requirements. If it is subsequently determined that a Policy does not satisfy the applicable requirements, We may take
appropriate steps to bring the Policy into compliance with such requirements. We reserve the right to restrict Policy transactions
in order to do so.
INVESTOR CONTROL
In general, owners of variable life insurance policies receive tax deferral while the insured is living. This favorable tax treatment
allows You to control the selection of and transfer among the Subaccounts without paying income tax unless You take money out
of the Policy. In certain circumstances, however, owners of variable life insurance policies have been considered for federal
income tax purposes to be the owners of the Subaccounts’ assets due to the ability of the owners to exercise investment control
over those assets. Where this is the case, the policy owners were taxed on income and recognized gains attributable to the
subaccounts’ assets. We believe Your Policy does not give You investment control over assets of the subaccounts. However,
there is little guidance in the Code or Treasury Regulations in this area, and some features of the Policies, such as the flexibility
to allocate premiums among Subaccounts, have not been explicitly addressed under federal tax law. If such guidance was
issued, it could be applied either prospectively or retroactively and subject You to income tax consequences. The IRS issued
Revenue Ruling 2003-91, which provides a safe harbor whereby the owner of a variable contract will not be treated as the owner
of the underlying assets, and up to 20 investment options and 12 free transfers per year are allowed. We reserve the right to
32
modify the Policies, such as limiting the number of transfers allowed under the Policies, to prevent You from being treated as the
owner of the assets supporting the Policy.
In addition, the Code requires that the investments of the Subaccounts meet certain diversification standards set by Treasury
Regulations in order for the Policies to be treated as life insurance policies for federal income tax purposes. It is intended that the
Subaccounts will satisfy these diversification requirements.
The following discussion assumes that the Policy will qualify as a life insurance contract for federal tax purposes.
We believe that the Death Benefit under Your Policy will not be included in Your Beneficiary’s gross income when the insured
dies.  If the death benefit is not received in a lump sum, however, and is instead applied under a proceeds option agreed to by us
and the Beneficiary, payments generally will be prorated between amounts attributable to the death benefit, which will be
excludable from the Beneficiary’s income, and amounts attributable to interest (occurring after the Insured’s death), which will be
includable in the Beneficiary’s income.
Federal, state and local transfer, and other tax consequences of ownership or receipt of policy proceeds depend on the
circumstances of each Owner or Beneficiary. A tax advisor should be consulted on these consequences.
Generally, You will not pay income tax on the Policy Value until there is a distribution. When distributions from a Policy occur or
when loans are taken out from or secured by a Policy, the tax consequences depend on whether the Policy is classified as a
MEC as described in the Code and more fully described below.
MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACTS
Under the Code, life insurance policies that are MECs are treated less favorably with respect to lifetime distributions than other
life insurance policies. Because of the flexibility of the Policies as to premiums and benefits, the individual circumstances of each
Policy will determine whether it is classified as a MEC. In general, Your Policy will be a MEC if the amount of premiums paid into
the Policy causes the Policy to fail the “7-pay test.” A Policy will fail the 7-pay test if at any time in the first seven Policy Years, the
amount paid into the Policy exceeds the total premiums that would have been paid for a Policy providing for paid-up future
benefits after the payment of seven level annual premiums.
A Policy received in a tax-free exchange for a life insurance policy that was a MEC will also be classified as a MEC. If there is a
reduction in the benefits under the Policy during the first seven Policy Years, for example, as a result of a withdrawal, the 7-pay
test will have to be reapplied as if the Policy had originally been issued at the reduced Specified Amount. If there is a “material
change” in the Policy’s benefits or other terms, even after the first seven Policy Years, the Policy may have to be retested as if it
were a newly issued Policy. A material change can occur, for example, when there is an increase in the Death Benefit, including
increases due to the payment of unnecessary premium. Unnecessary premiums are premiums paid into the Policy that are not
needed to provide a death benefit equal to the lowest death benefit that was payable in the first seven Policy Years. To prevent
Your Policy from becoming a MEC, it may be necessary to limit premium payments or to limit reductions in benefits. If Your
Policy was not a MEC at issue, We will monitor it to determine whether a policy transaction will cause the Policy to be classified
as a MEC. If a deposit received causes Your Policy to be a MEC, We will reverse the transaction and only deposit the portion of
the transaction that does not result in MEC status. You should consult with a competent advisor to determine whether a policy
transaction will cause the Policy to be classified as a MEC.
DISTRIBUTIONS (OTHER THAN DEATH BENEFITS) FROM MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACTS
If Your Policy is a MEC, amounts You take out while the insured is living may be taxable income. All distributions other than
death benefits, including surrenders and withdrawals, will be treated first as taxable income and then as tax-free recovery of the
investment in the Policy after all gain in the Policy has been distributed. Loans taken or secured by the Policy will also be treated
as distributions and taxed accordingly. There also may be 10% additional tax on distributions unless You are age 59½ or older,
disabled, or take the distribution as a series of substantially equal periodic payments over Your life expectancy or the joint life
expectancies of You and Your Beneficiary.
If a Policy becomes a MEC, distributions that occur during the Policy Year will be taxed as distributions from a MEC. Distributions
from a Policy within two years before the Policy becomes a MEC will also be taxed as distributions from a MEC. This means that
a distribution made from a Policy that is not a MEC could later become taxable as a distribution from a MEC.
All MECs that are issued by Us (or Our affiliates) to You during any calendar year are treated as one MEC for purposes of
determining the amount includable in Your income when a taxable distribution occurs.
33
DISTRIBUTIONS (OTHER THAN DEATH BENEFITS) FROM POLICIES THAT ARE NOT MODIFIED ENDOWMENT
CONTRACTS
If Your Policy is not a MEC, then distributions from Your Policy other than death benefits are generally treated first as a recovery
of Your “investment in the policy,” and then as taxable income. Your investment in the Policy is generally the sum of Your
premiums. When a distribution is taken from Your Policy, Your investment in the Policy is reduced by the amount of the
distribution that is tax-free. This means that withdrawals are generally treated as first recovering the premiums You paid into the
Policy and then as taxable income. However, certain distributions that must be made in order to enable the Policy to continue to
qualify as a life insurance policy for federal income tax purposes may be treated in whole or in part as ordinary income subject to
tax.
Loans from, or secured by, the Policy are generally not treated as distributions. You should consult a tax advisor as to the tax
treatment of such loans. Furthermore, a surrender or termination of the Policy by Lapse may have tax consequences if the
Surrender Value plus outstanding Loan Amount is greater than premium paid into the Policy. If the Insured is alive on the
Maturity Date and the Owner has elected not to extend insurance coverage beyond the Maturity Date, the Owner may have to
pay federal income tax on the Policy Value (including any outstanding Loan Amount) that is attributable to earnings in the
Subaccounts and interest in any available Fixed Account(s). Finally, neither distributions from, nor loans from or secured by, a
Policy that is not a MEC are subject to the 10% additional income tax described below.
POLICY LOANS
In general, interest on a Policy loan will not be deductible. If a Policy loan is outstanding when a Policy is canceled or Lapses,
the amount of the outstanding indebtedness will be added to the amount distributed and will be taxed accordingly. Before taking
out a Policy loan, You should consult a tax advisor as to the tax consequences.
CONTINUATION BEYOND AGE 100
The federal tax consequences of continuing the Policy beyond the Insured’s Attained Age 100 are unclear. The IRS has issued
Revenue Procedure 2010-28 that provides a safe harbor concerning the application of the Code requirements to life insurance
contracts that have mortality guarantees based on the 2001 CSO Table and which may continue in force after an insured attains
age 100. If a contract satisfies all the Code requirements using all of the Age 100 Safe Harbor Testing Method requirements set
forth in Rev. Proc. 2010-28, the IRS will not challenge the qualification of that contract as life insurance under the Code. Rev.
Proc. 2010-28 also states that “No adverse inference should be drawn with respect to the qualification of a contract as a life
insurance contract under §7702, or its status as not a MEC under §7702A, merely by reason of a failure to satisfy all of the
requirements of the Age 100 Safe Harbor.”  Revenue Procedure 2018-20 modifies and supersedes Revenue Procedure 2010-28
to the extent life insurance contracts have mortality guarantees based on the 2017 CSO Table.
You should consult a tax advisor if You intend to keep the Policy in force past the Insured's Attained Age 100.
TAX WITHHOLDING
To the extent that the Policy distributions are taxable, they are generally subject to withholding at a rate of 10% for the
distribution recipient’s federal income tax liability. Recipients may generally elect, however, not to have tax withheld or to have
withholding done at a different rate. We may be required to withhold at a rate of 30% under the Foreign Account Tax Compliance
Act (“FATCA”) on certain distributions to foreign financial institutions and non-financial foreign entities holding accounts on behalf
of and/or the assets of U.S. persons unless the foreign entities provide us with certain certifications regarding their status under
FATCA on the applicable IRS forms. Prospective purchasers with accounts in foreign financial institutions or non-financial foreign
entities are advised to consult with a competent tax advisor regarding the application of FATCA to their purchase situation.
BUSINESS USE OF THE POLICY
Businesses may use the Policy in various business arrangements, including non-qualified deferred compensation plans, split
dollar insurance plans, executive bonus plans, tax exempt and nonexempt welfare benefit plans, and retiree medical benefit
plans. The tax consequences of such plans will vary depending on the circumstances of the arrangement. If You are purchasing
the Policy for any arrangement the value of which depends in part on its tax consequences, You should consult a qualified tax
advisor.
In recent years, moreover, Congress has adopted new rules relating to life insurance owned by businesses. The Internal
Revenue Service and the Treasury Department have issued guidance that substantially affects split-dollar arrangements. Any
business considering the purchase of a new Policy or a change in an existing Policy should consult a tax advisor.
Furthermore, federal corporate governance legislation known as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Act”) prohibits publicly
traded companies from extending personal loans to their directors and officers. Under the Act, split-dollar life insurance
arrangements for directors and officers of such companies may be considered a prohibited loan. It is unclear whether premiums
paid in connection with such split-dollar life insurance arrangements will be considered prohibited loans under the Act.
Although the prohibition on loans is generally effective as of July 30, 2002, there is an exception for loans outstanding as of the
date of enactment, so long as there is no material change to the loan terms and the loan is not renewed after July 30, 2002. Any
34
affected business contemplating the payment of a premium on an existing Policy, or the purchase of a new Policy, in connection
with a split-dollar life insurance arrangement should consult legal counsel.
NON-INDIVIDUAL OWNERS AND BUSINESS BENEFICIARIES OF POLICIES
If a Policy is owned or held by a corporation, trust or other entity that is not a natural person, this could jeopardize some or all of
such entity’s interest deduction under Code section 264, even where such entity’s indebtedness is in no way connected to the
Policy. In addition, under Code section 264(f)(5), if a business (other than a sole proprietorship) is directly or indirectly a
Beneficiary of a Policy, the Policy could be treated as held by the business for purposes of the Code section 264(f) entity-holder
rules. A qualified tax advisor should be consulted before any non-natural person is made an Owner or holder of a Policy, or
before a business (other than a sole proprietorship) is made a Beneficiary of a Policy.
EMPLOYER-OWNED LIFE INSURANCE POLICIES
Pursuant to Code section 101(j), unless certain eligibility, notice and consent requirements are satisfied, the amount excludable
as a death benefit payment under an employer-owned life insurance policy will generally be limited to the premiums paid for
such policy (although certain exceptions may apply in specific circumstances). An employer-owned life insurance policy is a life
insurance policy owned by an employer that insures an employee of the employer and where the employer is a direct or indirect
beneficiary under such policy. It is the employer’s responsibility to verify the eligibility of the intended Insured under employer-
owned life insurance policies and to provide the notices and obtain the consents required by Code section 101(j). These
requirements generally apply to employer owned life insurance policies issued or materially modified after August 17, 2006. A tax
adviser should be consulted by anyone considering the purchase of an employer-owned life insurance policy.
TAX SHELTER REGULATIONS
We do not believe that any purchase of a Policy by an Owner pursuant to this offering will be subject to the tax
shelter registration, customer list or reporting requirements under the Code and implementing regulations.
Prospective owners that are corporations should consult a tax advisor about the treatment of the Policy under the Treasury
Regulations applicable to corporate tax shelters.
OTHER TAX CONSIDERATIONS
The transfer of the Policy or designation of a Beneficiary may have federal, state, and/or local transfer and inheritance tax
consequences, including the imposition of gift, estate, and generation-skipping transfer taxes. For example, the transfer of the
Policy to, or the designation as a Beneficiary of, or the payment of proceeds to, a person who is assigned to a generation which
is two or more generations below the generation assignment of the Owner may have generation skipping transfer tax
consequences under federal tax law. Treasury Regulations issued under the Code may require Us to deduct the tax from Your
Policy, or from any applicable payment, and pay it directly to the Internal Revenue Service. The individual situation of each
Owner or Beneficiary will determine the extent, if any, to which federal, state, and local transfer and inheritance taxes may be
imposed and how ownership or receipt of policy proceeds will be treated for purposes of federal, state and local estate,
inheritance, generation skipping and other taxes.
For 2025, the federal estate tax, gift tax, and generation skipping transfer tax exemptions are $13,990,000 for an individual
($27,980,000 for a married couple) and maximum rates are 40%.
The potential application of these taxes underscores the importance of seeking guidance from a qualified adviser to help ensure
that Your estate plan adequately addresses Your needs and those of Your beneficiaries under all possible scenarios.
The uncertainty as to how the current law might be modified in coming years underscores the importance of seeking guidance
from a qualified adviser to help ensure that Your estate plan adequately addresses Your needs and those of Your beneficiaries
under all possible scenarios.
LAPSE PROTECTION BENEFIT RIDER
This Policy may be purchased with the intention of accumulating cash value on a tax-free basis for some period (for example,
until retirement) and then periodically borrowing from the Policy, relying on the Lapse Protection Benefit Rider to keep the Policy
from Lapsing.  Anyone contemplating taking advantage of this strategy should be aware that it involves several risks.  First, this
strategy will fail to achieve its goal if the Policy is a MEC or becomes a MEC after the periodic borrowing begins.  Moreover,
neither the Internal Revenue Service nor the courts have ruled on whether the Lapse Protection Benefit Rider will keep the
Policy from Lapsing for tax purposes, and that result may be subject to challenge by the IRS.  In this respect, even with the
Rider, there is a risk that poor investment performance, together with ongoing deductions for insurance charges, will lead to a
substantial decline in the Policy’s cash value that could result in the Policy being treated for tax purposes as having Lapsed.  In
that event, a significant tax liability could arise when the Lapse is deemed to have occurred.  Anyone considering purchasing the
Policy with the Lapse Protection Benefit Rider should consult a competent tax adviser before purchasing the Policy about the tax
risks inherent in exercising the Lapse Protection Benefit Rider.
35
MEDICARE TAX ON INVESTMENT INCOME
The 3.8% Medicare tax on investment income applies to individuals whose income exceeds certain threshold amounts. You
should consult a tax advisor about the impact of this tax on distributions from the Policy.
LIFE INSURANCE PURCHASES BY RESIDENTS OF PUERTO RICO
In Rev. Rul. 2004-75, 2004-31 I.R.B. 109, the Internal Revenue Service announced that income received by residents of Puerto
Rico under life insurance contracts issued by a Puerto Rico branch of a United States life insurance company is U.S.-source
income that is generally subject to United States federal income tax.
LIFE INSURANCE PURCHASES BY NONRESIDENT ALIENS AND FOREIGN CORPORATIONS
Purchasers that are not U.S. citizens or residents will generally be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax on taxable distributions
from life insurance policies at a 30% rate, unless a lower treaty rate applies. In addition, purchasers may be subject to state and/
or municipal taxes and taxes that may be imposed by the purchaser’s country of citizenship or residence. Prospective
purchasers that are not U.S. citizens or residents are advised to consult with a qualified tax adviser regarding U.S. and foreign
taxation with respect to a life insurance policy purchase.
POSSIBLE TAX LAW CHANGES
Although the likelihood of legislative changes is uncertain, there is always the possibility that the tax treatment of the Policy could
change by legislation or otherwise. Consult a tax adviser with respect to legislative developments and their effect on the Policy.
OUR INCOME TAXES
Under current federal income tax law, We are not taxed on the Variable Account’s operations. Thus, currently We do not deduct a
charge from the Variable Account for federal income taxes. We reserve the right to charge the Variable Account for any future
federal income taxes We may incur.
Under current laws in several states, We may incur state and local taxes (in addition to premium taxes). These taxes are not now
significant and We are not currently charging for them. If they increase, We may deduct charges for such taxes.
OTHER INFORMATION ABOUT THE POLICY
POLICY MATURITY
The “Maturity Date” is the Policy Anniversary nearest the date when the Insured reaches Attained Age 120.  A Policy that is in
force on the Maturity Date will automatically continue in force (unless otherwise elected by the Owner) until the death of the
Insured, at which time the Death Benefit will be paid to the Beneficiary(ies).  If, however, an Owner notifies Us in writing of the
Owner’s election not to extend insurance coverage beyond the Maturity Date, then the Policy will terminate and We will pay the
Owner the Net Surrender Value, if any, in a single sum or, alternatively, in a settlement option (as described below) on the
Maturity Date.
Note:
•If a Policy is in a Grace Period on the Maturity Date, the minimum amount required to reinstate the Policy must be paid
before that Policy can be continued.
•Coverage beyond the Maturity Date will not be extended if a Policy would fail the definition of life insurance under the
Code.
•Continuing a Policy beyond the Insured’s Age 100 may have tax consequences.  You should contact a tax advisor if You
intend to keep the Policy in force beyond the Insured’s Age 100.  See “Continuation Beyond Age 100” in TAXES.
If insurance coverage is extended beyond the Maturity Date:
•100% of an Owner’s Policy Value (less any Loan Account Value) must be transferred to the Fixed Account. Interest will
be credited monthly to the Owner’s account value at an effective annual rate of at least the guaranteed minimum rate
then available under the Policy.
•The Death Benefit will continue to be determined as it was before the Policy was continued.
•No premium payments will be accepted.
•No Monthly Deductions will be taken.
•No transfers or withdrawals can be requested.
•New loans will be allowed and loan interest will continue to be charged on any Loan Amount. Loan repayments can be
made.
•The Owner may surrender the Policy.

SETTLEMENT OPTIONS
We will pay Owners (including contingent Owners) or Beneficiaries (including any contingent Beneficiaries)-each a “Payee”-the
amount of any surrender proceeds, withdrawal proceeds, or Death Benefit Proceeds in a single sum unless the Owner has, by
Written Notice, chosen an alternate settlement option that We make available at the time such proceeds and insurance benefits
become payable. Contact Us at Our Administrative Office to obtain information about alternate settlement options.
We will transfer to the Fixed Account any amount (“Proceeds”) placed under an alternate settlement option, which amount will
not be affected thereafter by the investment performance of the Variable Account. When the Proceeds are payable, We will
inform the Payee of the rate of interest We will credit to the amounts left with us. We will credit a minimum guaranteed rate of
interest and may pay interest in excess of that guaranteed rate.
Alternate Settlement Options.  The following alternate settlement options are available. Other forms of payout may be
requested but are subject to the Company’s approval. Once payouts under a settlement option begin, the selected alternate
settlement option cannot be changed.
1.Option 1-Payments for a Specified Period.  If the payments for a Specified Period Option is selected, the Company will
make equal payments to the Payee for a specified number of years, at specified intervals-i.e., every 1 year, 6 months, 3
months or 1 month. The duration of the payout period and the frequency of the payments is specified at the time the
settlement option is selected. The amount of each settlement payment is computed using the factors shown in Your
Policy. If the Payee dies before the expiration of the specified number of years, unless instructed otherwise at the time
that this settlement option is selected, the Company pays the value of the remaining payments in a single sum to the
Payee’s estate.
2.Option 2-Life Annuity.  The Company makes monthly payments to the Payee for as long as he or she lives. The amount
of each settlement payment will be based on the Annuity 2000 Mortality Table at 1%. No further payments will be made
after the Payee’s death.
Conditions.
1.The amount of proceeds being applied to an alternate settlement option must be at least $5,000; otherwise, the
proceeds will be paid in a single sum by check.
2.The frequency of payments under a settlement option must result in installment payments of not less than $100.
3.If the Owner or Beneficiary (including any contingent Beneficiary) receiving payment is an executor, administrator,
trustee, or not a natural person, payment is made in a single sum unless We consent to payment under an alternate
settlement option.
4.If the Owner has not selected a method for payment of Death Benefit Proceeds before the time of the Insured’s death,
then the Beneficiary (or contingent Beneficiary) can choose a method of payment before such Death Benefit Proceeds
are paid.
5.The Owner may elect to receive the Net Surrender Value or the amount of a withdrawal in the form of an alternate
settlement option at any time before payment of the surrender proceeds or withdrawal proceeds is made.
PAYMENTS WE MAKE
We usually pay the amounts of any surrender, withdrawal, or Death Benefit Proceeds involving Variable Policy Value within
seven calendar days after We receive all applicable Written Notices and/or Due Proof of Death in good order at Our
Administrative Office. However, We can postpone such payments if:
•the NYSE is closed (other than customary weekend or holiday closings); or
•trading on the NYSE is restricted, as determined by the SEC; or
•an emergency exists that would make the disposal of securities held in the Variable Account, or determination of their
value, not reasonably practicable; or
•the SEC permits, by an order, the postponement for the protection of Owners.
If You have submitted a recent check or draft, We have the right to defer payment of surrenders, withdrawals, loans, life
insurance benefit proceeds, or payments under a settlement option until such check or draft has been honored. In addition, We
reserve the right to defer payment of transfers, loans, withdrawals, or surrender from the Fixed Account for the period permitted
by law, but not for more than six months.
Federal laws designed to counter terrorism and prevent money laundering by criminals might, in certain circumstances, require
Us to reject a premium payment and/or block an Owner’s account and thereby refuse to pay any request for transfers,
withdrawals, surrenders, loans, or life insurance benefits until instructions are received from the appropriate regulators. We may
also be required to provide additional information about You or Your Policy to government regulators.
37
MISSTATEMENT OF AGE OR GENDER
If the age or, if permitted by state law, sex of the Insured was stated incorrectly in the application (or any supplemental
application), then the Death Benefit and any benefits provided under the Policy by rider or endorsement will be adjusted to the
amount that would have been payable at the correct age and, if permitted by state law, sex, based on the deduction for cost of
insurance and other charges (and the cost of any benefits provided by rider or endorsement) in effect on the Policy Date.
REPORTS TO POLICY OWNERS
We will send You the following statements and reports:
•a confirmation for many significant transactions, such as changes in future premium allocations, transfers among
Subaccounts, and address changes; and
•semi-annual and annual reports of the Funds.
In addition, at least annually, or more often as required by law, We will send to Owners at the last known address of the Owner
and/or the last known address of an assignee of record, reports showing the following items at the end of the report period:
•current Policy Value, Surrender Value, Net Surrender Value, and Death Benefit;
•current Variable Policy Value (including each Subaccount Value), Fixed Policy Value and Loan Account Value;
•current Loan Amount;
•any premium payments, withdrawals, or surrenders made, Death Benefit Proceeds paid, and charges deducted since
the last report;
•current Net Premium Payment allocations; and
•other information required by law.
On request, We will send You a current statement in a form similar to that of the annual statement described above. We reserve
the right to limit the number of such requests or impose a reasonable charge for additional requests.
POLICY TERMINATION
Your Policy will terminate and all benefits under it will cease on the earliest of the following:
1.The date the Policy Lapses;
2.The date We receive, in good order, Your written request to surrender or terminate the Policy; or
3.The date of the Insured’s death.
ASSIGNMENT
You may assign the Policy while the Insured is alive.  Unless the Written Notice specifies otherwise, the assignment will become
effective on the date the Written Notice is signed by the Owner. We are not bound by any assignment unless We receive Written
Notice of the assignment, in good order, at our Administrative Office.  Your rights and those of any other person under the Policy
are subject to the assignment. We are not responsible for the validity of any assignments and We are not liable for any action
We take or payment We make prior to Our receipt of Written Notice. Your assignee may not change the Owner or the
Beneficiary, and may not elect or change an optional method of payment. Any amount payable to the assignee will be paid in a
lump sum.
An absolute assignment will be considered a change of ownership. We are not bound by any assignment which results in
adverse tax consequences to the Owner, Insured or Beneficiary(ies).  Assigning the Policy may have tax consequences. You
should consult a tax advisor before assigning the Policy.
DISTRIBUTION OF THE POLICIES
DISTRIBUTION
The policies are distributed by Symetra Securities, Inc. (“SSI”). They are sold by individuals who, in addition to being licensed to
sell variable life insurance for Symetra Life, are also registered representatives of broker-dealers who have a current sales
agreement with SSI and Symetra Life. SSI is an affiliate of Symetra Life and is located at 777 108th Avenue NE, Suite 1200,
Bellevue, WA 98004. It is registered as a broker- dealer with the SEC under the Securities Act of 1934 and is a member of the
Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). No amounts are retained by SSI for acting as principal underwriter for Symetra
Life policies.
Registered representatives who solicited sales of the policies receive a portion of the commission payable to the broker-
dealer firm, depending on the agreement between the broker-dealer and the registered representative. A broker-dealer
firm or registered representative may receive different commissions for selling one variable life insurance policy over
another and may favor one provider over another due to different compensation rates.
38
We pay commissions as a percentage of premiums invested in the Policy.
To the extent permitted by FINRA rules, promotional incentives or payments may also be provided to broker-dealers based on
sales volumes, the assumption of wholesaling functions or other sales-related criteria. Other payments may be made for other
services that do not directly involve the sale of the Policies. These services may include the recruitment and training of
personnel, production of promotional literature, and similar services.
No specific charge is assessed directly to Owners or the Variable Account to cover commissions and other incentives or
payments described above. We do intend to recoup commissions and other sales expenses We pay, however, through fees and
charges deducted under the Policy and other corporate revenue.
Differences in compensation or incentives that a registered representative may have received for selling one product over
another may have created an incentive for the selling firm or its sales representatives to recommend or sell the Policy to You.
You may wish to take such incentives into account when considering and evaluating any recommendations relating to the
Policy.
STATE VARIATIONS
This prospectus describes the material rights, benefits and obligations under the Policy. Certain provisions of the Policy may be
different from the general description in this prospectus because of variations required by state law. For example, state law may
require different “free-look” (or cancellation) periods, which is the amount of time allowed to examine the Policy and return it for a
refund. The state in which Your Policy is issued also governs whether certain riders, options, charges or fees are available or will
vary under Your Policy.  Please see APPENDIX B: STATE VARIATIONS for a listing of state variations as well as Your Policy for
any state specific variations applicable to You.  Any such state variations will be included in Your Policy or in endorsements or
riders attached to Your Policy. You should refer to Your Policy for specific variations applicable to You. If You would like to review
a copy of Your Policy and its endorsements and riders, if any, contact Our Administrative Office or Your sales representative.
GOOD ORDER
We will execute Written Notices and telephone transactions only if these are in “good order”.  For Written Notices, good order
means using the form provided by Us for the request or transaction, or providing in writing all the information required by the
form.  We accept documents constituting Written Notices by mail and facsimile transmission.  Generally, for most transactions
our forms require the Owner(s) name, Policy number, signatures of all Owners, assignees and irrevocable Beneficiaries, if any,
and information necessary for Us to carry out the request (e.g., for transfers of Policy Value the Subaccount from which and to
which Policy Value is to be transferred and the amount of the transfer; for withdrawals the Subaccount from which the withdrawal
will be made and the amount of the withdrawal, as well as the party to whom a check for withdrawal proceeds must be made
out).  Depending on the type of transaction, additional information may be required such as an Owner’s social security number or
tax ID number, or the names or signatures of Beneficiaries or of an Owner’s spouse.  For Written Notices via an Owner’s
account on Our website, good order means providing PINs or meeting other security requirements.  For telephone transactions,
good order means We have the information on file that is required by the appropriate form or hearing that information in Your
telephone instruction, as well as Us having on file a telephone transaction authorization form signed by the Owner.
Instructions relating to allocation of Net Premium Payments also must be in good order before We can apply such payments. 
Such instructions consist of fully completing the appropriate form or providing Us with such information by Written Notice
(providing the exact name of the appropriate Subaccount).
UNCLAIMED OR ABANDONED PROPERTY
Every state has unclaimed property laws that generally provide for escheatment to the state of unclaimed property (including
Death Benefit Proceeds under the Policy) under various circumstances. In addition to state unclaimed property laws, We may
be required to escheat property pursuant to regulatory demand, finding, agreement or settlement. To help prevent possible
escheatment of Your property, it is important that You keep Your contact and other information on file with Us up to date,
including the full names, complete addresses, and any other contact or identifying information for Owners, Insureds, and
Beneficiaries.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We, like other life insurance companies, are subject to regulatory and legal proceedings, including class action lawsuits, in the
ordinary course of Our business.  Such legal and regulatory matters include proceedings specific to Us and other proceedings
generally applicable to business practices in the industry in which We operate.  In some lawsuits and regulatory proceedings
involving insurers, substantial damages have been sought and/or material settlement payments have been made. Although the
outcome of any litigation or regulatory proceeding cannot be predicted with certainty, at the present time, We believe that there
are no pending or threatened proceedings or lawsuits that are likely to have a material adverse impact on the Variable Account,
on SSI’s ability to perform under its principal underwriting agreement, or on Our ability to meet Our obligations under the Policy.

APPENDIX C: BENEFIT EXAMPLES
EXAMPLE:  ACCELERATED DEATH BENEFIT FOR CHRONIC ILLNESS RIDER
Assume that the Policy is purchased by a 65 year-old male who is a non-nicotine user and requests to accelerate 50% of the
available Death Benefit.  On the day We calculate the accelerated death benefit payout, the Policy Value is $69,106.53 with
an outstanding Policy loan of $5,000 and no additional premiums are due.  Further assume, the Death Benefit is $100,000. 
Based upon the assumptions above, the following shows how We would do the calculation.
Death Benefit on the date We calculate rider benefit
=
$100,000
Requested amount to be accelerated (50% of $100,000)
=
$50,000
Less loan adjustment ($50,000 - $5,000)
=
$45,000
TOTAL ACCELERATED DEATH BENEFIT PAYOUT
=
$45,000
After the rider is exercised, the $50,000 rider accelerated amount is considered a lien and will result in the following
reductions:

EXAMPLE:  ACCELERATED DEATH BENEFIT FOR TERMINAL ILLNESS RIDER
Assume that the Policy is purchased by a 65 year-old male who is a non-nicotine user and requests to accelerate 70% of the
available Death Benefit.  On the day We calculate the accelerated death benefit payout, the Policy Value is $60,355 with an
outstanding Policy loan of $5,200 and no additional premiums are due.  Further assume, the Death Benefit is $800,000. 
Based upon the assumptions above, the following shows how We would do the calculation.
Death Benefit on the date We calculate rider benefit
=
$800,000
Requested amount to be accelerated (70% of $800,000)
=
$560,000
Requested Amount compared to Maximum Rider Amount
=
$560,000 ≥ $500,000
Accelerate Death Benefit Amount
=
$500,000
Less Loan Amount ($500,000 - $5,200)
=
494,800
TOTAL ACCELERATED DEATH BENEFIT PAYOUT
=
$494,800
C-2
After the rider is exercised, the following reductions will occur:
Death Benefit Proceeds ($800,000 -$500,000)
(Death Benefit minus Accelerated Death Benefit Amount)
=
$300,000
Reduction Percentage ($500,000/$800,000)
(Accelerated Amount compared to the Death Benefit at the time of exercise)
=
62.5%
Policy Value Reduction (62.5% x $60,355)
=
$37,721.88
New Policy Value ($60,355 - $37,721.88)
=
$22,633.12
EXAMPLE:  CHARITABLE GIVING BENEFIT RIDER
Assume that the Policy is purchased by a 45 year-old male who is a standard non-nicotine user with a Specified Amount of
$500,000.  The Insured informs Us of their designed 501(f)(3) charity on the Issue Date.  Upon the death of the Insured, the
Charitable Giving Benefit Rider is exercised and the donation is calculated as follows:
Based upon the assumptions above, the following shows how We would do the calculation.
Donation Amount (1% x $500,000)
(1% x Specified Amount)
=
$5,000
Compare Donation Amount to Rider Maximum
(Donation Amount Compared to $100,000)
=
$5,000 ≤ $100,000
TOTAL AMOUNT PAID TO CHARITY
=
$5,000
Assume the same facts above except that the Specified Amount is $20,000,000.  Upon the death of the Insured, the
Charitable Giving Benefit Rider is exercised and the donation is calculated as follows:
Based upon the assumptions above, the following shows how We would do the calculation.
Donation Amount (1% x $20,000,000)
(1% x Specified Amount)
=
$200,000
Compare Donation Amount to Rider Maximum
(Donation Amount Compared to $100,000)
=
$200,000
≥$100,000
Because 1% of the Specified Amount is greater than the Rider Maximum, We will pay the designate charity the
Rider Maximum Amount.
TOTAL AMOUNT PAID TO CHARITY
=
$100,000

EXAMPLE:  ACCELERATED DEATH BENEFIT FOR CHRONIC ILLNESS PLUS RIDER
Under the Accelerate Death Benefit for Chronic Illness Plus Rider, You can access 100% of Your Death Benefit in advance if
You meet the rider requirements.  The benefit can be paid as either an annual single sum or through monthly payments over
a 50-month period.  Assume that the Insured requests to accelerate 100% of the Death Benefit, the Per Diem Limit is $400
and the Rider Benefit Balance is $115,326.
Monthly Payment of Accelerated Death Benefit Payout is the lesser of:
•2% of Your Rider Benefit Balance as of the day of the initial Payment Period; and
•The Per Diem limit multiplied by 30
Monthly Payment for First Payment Period of 12-Months
Based upon the assumptions above, the following shows how We would do the monthly payment
calculation for the Initial Payment Period of 12 Months:
2% of Rider Benefit Balance (2% of $115,326)
=
$2,307
Per Diem Limit multiplied by 30 ($400 x 30)
=
$12,000

=
$2,307
TOTAL MONTHLY ACCELERATED DEATH BENEFIT PAYOUT
=
$2,307
Monthly Payment for Second Payment Period of 12-Months:
Based upon the assumptions above, the following shows how We would do the monthly payment
calculation for the second Payment Period of 12-Months.
Recalculate the Rider Benefit Balance  (Death Benefit minus Payments Made)
($115,326 - (12 x $2,307) = $87,642
=
$87,642
2% of Rider Benefit Balance (2% of $87,642)
=
$1,752.84
Per Diem Limit multiplied by 30 ($400 x 30)

Determine Lesser Amount ($1,752.84 ≤ $12,000)
=
$1,752.84
TOTAL MONTHLY ACCELERATED DEATH BENEFIT PAYOUT
=
$1,752.84
Lump Sum Payment of Accelerated Death Benefit Payout is the lesser of:
•2% of Your Rider Benefit Balance multiplied by the number of Months in the Payment Period; and
•The per diem limit multiplied by 30 and multiplied by the number of Months in the Payment Period
Single Sum Payment for First Payment Period of 12-Months
Based upon the assumptions above, the following shows how We would do the single sum payment
calculation:
2% of Rider Benefit Balance (2% of $115,326 x 12)
=
$27,684
Per Diem Limit multiplied by 30 ($400 x 30 x 12)
=

Single Sum Payment for Second Payment Period of 12-Months:
Based upon the assumptions above, the following shows how We would do the single sum payment
calculation for the second Payment Period of 12-Months.
Recalculate the Rider Benefit Balance (Death Benefit minus Payments Made)
($115,326 - $27,684 = $87,642

GENERAL INFORMATION
Symetra Life Insurance Company (“Symetra Life”, “We”, and “Us”) is an Iowa stock life insurance company and is engaged
primarily in insurance and financial services businesses. Symetra Life was organized under Washington law on January 23,
1957, and redomesticated to Iowa in 2014. Symetra Life is a wholly owned subsidiary of Symetra Financial Corporation, which,
in turn, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Sumitomo Life Insurance Company, a Japanese mutual life insurer (sougo kaisha) with
its headquarters in Tokyo, Japan. 
Symetra Separate Account SL (“Variable Account”) is a separate account that was established under Washington law on
November 6, 1986 and reestablished under Iowa law on July 1, 2014. The Variable Account holds the assets that underlie Policy
Values invested in the Subaccounts. The Variable Account is registered with the Securities and Exchange Company ("SEC") as
a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
THE POLICY-GENERAL MATTERS
Our Right to Contest the Policy:  In issuing the Policy, We rely on all statements made by or for the Insured in the application
(or in any supplemental application). Therefore, if You make any material misrepresentation of a fact in the application (or any
supplemental application), then We may contest the Policy's validity or may resist a claim under the Policy for two years from the
Issue Date.
When permitted by law in the jurisdiction in which the Policy is delivered, in the absence of fraud in the procurement of the
Policy, We cannot bring any legal action to contest the validity of the Policy after the Policy has been in force during the Insured's
lifetime for two years from the Issue Date, or if reinstated, for two years from the date of reinstatement.
Suicide Exclusion:  If the Insured commits suicide, while sane or insane, within two years of the Issue Date (or any shorter
period as may be required by state law), the Policy will terminate and Our liability is limited to an amount equal to the premiums
paid, less any withdrawals and minus any Loan Amount. We will pay this amount to the Beneficiary in a single sum.
If the Policy lapses and is reinstated and the Insured later commits suicide, while sane or insane, within two years of the
reinstatement date (or any shorter period as may be required by state law), the Policy will terminate and Our liability is limited to
premiums paid, less any withdrawals and minus any Loan Amount. We will pay this amount to the Beneficiary in a single sum.
Changes to the Policy:  Any modifications or waiver of any rights or requirements under the Policy must be in writing and
signed by an authorized officer of the Company. No agent may bind us by making any promise not contained in the Policy.
If any modifications are made, We will make any appropriate endorsements to the Policy. If any provision of the Policy conflicts
with the laws of a jurisdiction that govern the Policy, the Policy provides that such provision be deemed to be amended to
conform with such laws.
Potential Conflicts of Interest:  For a discussion of the potential conflicts of interest that may arise as a result of the sale of
Fund shares to separate accounts that support variable annuity contracts, variable life insurance policies, and certain qualified
pension and retirement plans, as well as the sale of Fund shares to the separate accounts of insurance companies that are not
affiliated with Symetra Life, see the prospectuses for the Funds.

law, sex and other factors that impact mortality risk. Such information is gathered through use of applications, medical
examinations, attending physician's statements, personal interviews and other authorized methods to determine the appropriate

or Female to determine the maximum cost of insurance for each Insured.

Item 33.  Indemnification
As more fully set forth in its Bylaws, Symetra Life, to the maximum extent it is empowered by the Iowa Business Corporation Act,
Iowa Code Chapter 490, shall indemnify and advance expenses to any person who was or is a party to or is threatened to be
made a party to any threatened, pending or completed claim, action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative (including a grand jury proceeding) and whether formal or informal, by reason of the fact that such person (a) is or
was a director or officer of the corporation, or (b) while a director or officer of the corporation, is or was serving at the request of
the corporation as a director, officer, employee, agent, partner or trustee (or in a similar capacity) of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust, other enterprise, or employee benefit plan, against reasonable expenses (including attorneys’
fees), judgments, fines, penalties, including an excise tax assessed with respect to an employee benefit plan, and amounts paid
in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such claim, action, suit or proceeding or any
appeal thereof.
Under certain Director and Officer Indemnification Agreements (“Agreement(s)”) between Symetra Life’s parent company,
Symetra Financial Corporation, and directors and/or certain officers of Symetra Life (“Indemnitees”), Symetra Financial
Corporation indemnifies and holds harmless Indemnitees, to the full extent permitted by the laws of the State of Delaware in
effect at the time the Agreement is effective or as such laws may from time to time be amended, against all Indemnifiable Losses
related to, resulting from or arising out of any Claim (subject to certain exceptions) where:
1.“Claim” means any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative, arbitrative, investigative or other, in which the Indemnitee is a party or reasonably could be made a
party, is threatened to be made a party or is involved by reason of the fact that (i) Indemnitee is or was a director,
officer, employee or agent of the Company and/or of a subsidiary of the Company, or (ii) Indemnitee is or was serving
at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, non-profit
organization,  joint venture, trust or other enterprise. Inclusion of the Indemnitee’s role with such an enterprise
(including, for example, service on the board of directors of a non-profit organization) on a list approved from time to
5
time by the Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer of the Company shall constitute service “at the request
of the Company” for purposes of clause (ii) in the preceding sentence.
2.“Expenses” includes all direct and indirect costs and expenses of any type whatsoever (including without limitation all
attorneys’ and experts’ fees, expenses and charges) and all other costs, expenses and obligations actually and
reasonably paid or incurred by Indemnitee in connection with investigating, defending, being a witness in or
participating in (including on appeal), or preparing to investigate, defend, be a witness in or participate in, any Claim;
and
3.“Indemnifiable Losses” means any and all Expenses, damages, losses, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties and
amounts paid in settlement (including without limitation all interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in
connection with or in respect of any of the foregoing) (collectively, “Losses”) reasonably incurred by Indemnitee
relating to, resulting from or arising out of any Claim.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and
controlling persons of Symetra Life pursuant to such provisions of the bylaws, statutes, agreements, or otherwise, Symetra Life
has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in said Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by Symetra
Life or Symetra Financial Corporation of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of Symetra Life in
the successful defense of any such action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the contracts issued by the Separate Account, Symetra Life will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification
by it is against public policy as expressed in said Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
Item 34.  Principal Underwriters
a. Symetra Securities, Inc., the principal underwriter for the Registrant, also acts as the principal underwriter for: Resource
Variable Account B; Symetra Deferred Variable Annuity Account; Symetra Separate Account VL; Symetra Separate Account
