Protectio-Based Fee: Greater Icome Protectio ad Value for Ivestors SuAmerica is able to offer greater icome protectio to your cliets through the iovatio of protectio-based pricig. Historically, the fee for ay livig beefit has geerally bee set to cover the ogoig cost of hedgig durig the etire time a cliet ows the cotract. However, hedgig costs cotiuously chage as market volatility moves the cost of the hedges up or dow. With our protectio-based pricig, the cliet shares i the cost of hedgig whe volatility goes up, but we pass the savigs o to the cliet by lowerig their fee whe the cost of hedgig goes dow. The fee rate is guarateed for the first year ad the ca go up or dow quarterly based o a pre-determied, o-discretioary formula. SuAmerica s iovative ad trasparet pricig model is the same for both Icome Plus 6% ad Icome Builder 8%. Optio Iitial Fee Miimum Fee Maximum Fee Maximum Aualized Fee Rate Decrease/ Icrease Each Quarter Sigle Life 1.10% 0.60% 2.20% 0.25% Joit Life 1.35% 0.60% 2.70% 0.25% Fee rate guarateed for the first year After the first year, the fee rate will be adjusted quarterly by a rate of 5 basis poits aualized for every 1% poit move i the VIX volatility idex as reported by the Chicago Board Optios Exchage The fee rate ca decrease or icrease ad is subject to a quarterly cap o adjustmets ad a overall fee rate cap ad floor Quarterly fee rate caot decrease or icrease by more tha 6.25 basis poits from the prior quarter (25 basis poits aualized rate) 8 For fiacial professioal use oly.

As the chart shows, the VIX geerally has a iverse relatioship to the equity market expressed by greater volatility i bear markets ad lower volatility i bull markets. By havig the fee move i step with the VIX, cliets pay more for protectio whe they eed it, but pay a lower fee rate whe volatility declies. Ad cliets are always protected from dramatic temporary swigs i volatility by the quarterly cap o the fee rate adjustmet. Eve durig the period at the ed of 2008 whe the market was experiecig substatial turmoil ad the VIX value topped 80, the cap elemet of the fee structure reduced the impact of the large, temporary swig i the VIX idex. Additioally, the fee rate would have retured to a lower level withi two quarters. 9
