C. CLIENT ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

I acknowledge that the client information provided on this form is complete and accurate to the best of my knowledge. I further acknowledge that I have been provided with a prospectus and an explanation of the material features and costs of variable annuities.

If purchasing an L share variable annuity, I acknowledge that my representative has provided me a Side-By-Side Comparison Summary indicating the costs and features of the L share against other share classes that are offered by the firm. I understand that while the L share variable annuity is most suitable in circumstances where the holding period is for five years or less, if I decide to hold the product for a period longer than five years, the expenses associated with the L share variable annuity will most likely be greater than those associated with other available share classes. Additionally, while some riders may provide benefits to me within five years, if I choose not to exercise those riders, I will continue to pay for them as long as I hold the product and do not elect to cancel them.
