| **Insurance Company Risks** | An investment in the Policy is subject to the risks related to Talcott. Any obligations (including under the Fixed Account investment option), guarantees, or benefits are subject to the claims-paying ability of Talcott. More information about Talcott, including its financial strength ratings, is available upon request by calling 800-231-5453 and at www.talcottresolution.com/financialinformation.html. For more information, please refer to the **GENERAL DESCRIPTIONS OF TALCOTT RESOLUTION LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY, THE REGISTRANT, AND THE FUNDS** section of the prospectus. |
| **Policy Lapse** | Death Benefits will not be paid if the Policy has lapsed. The Policy will go into default on any Monthly Activity Date on which the Account Value less Indebtedness is not sufficient to cover the Monthly Deduction Amount and the No Lapse Guarantee is not available. The Policy will go into default if total Indebtedness equals or exceeds the Cash Value on any Monthly Activity Date, unless it remains in force under the Overloan Protection Rider. Poor investment performance, insufficient premium payments, withdrawals, and loans are some of the factors that could cause your Policy to lapse.<br>We will keep your Policy in force for the 61-day grace period following the date your Policy goes into default. However, if we have not received the required premiums (specified in your lapse notice) by the end of the grace period, the Policy will terminate. If the insured dies during the grace period, we will pay the death proceeds.<br>A Policy that lapses may be reinstated within five years after termination if you submit satisfactory evidence of insurability to us, any Indebtedness existing at the time the Policy was terminated is repaid or carried over to the reinstated Policy; and you pay a premium sufficient to cover: (a) all Monthly Deduction Amounts that are due and unpaid during the grace period; and (b) the sum of Monthly Deduction Amounts for the next three months after the date the Policy is reinstated. For more information, please refer to the **LAPSE AND REINSTATEMENT** section of the prospectus. |
| **RESTRICTIONS** | **RESTRICTIONS** |
| **Investments** | You may transfer amounts among the Fixed Account and the Sub-Accounts subject to certain restrictions. We limit each Policy Owner to one Sub-Account transfer request each Valuation Day. We count all Sub-Account transfer activity that occurs on any one Valuation Day as one Sub-Account transfer, however, you cannot transfer the same Account Value more than once a Valuation Day.<br>You are allowed to submit a total of 20 Sub-Account transfers each Policy Year by U.S. Mail, Voice Response Unit, Internet, telephone, same day mail or courier service. Once you reach the maximum number of Sub-Account transfers, you may only submit any additional Sub-Account transfer requests (and any trade cancellation requests) in writing through U.S. Mail or overnight delivery service. We may charge an administrative transfer fee of up to $25 per transfer after the first transfer you make in any month, however, we are currently not assessing an administrative transfer fee.<br>Except for transfers made under the Dollar Cost Averaging Program, any transfers from the Fixed Account must occur during the 30-day period following each Policy Anniversary, and the maximum amount transferred in any Policy Year will be the greater of $1,000 and 25% of the Accumulated Value in the Fixed Account on the date of the transfer. As a result of these restrictions, it can take several years to transfer amounts from the Fixed Account to the Sub-Accounts.<br>We reserve the right to remove or substitute Funds as investment options. For more information on investment and transfer restrictions, please refer to the **Transfers And Restrictions On Transfers** subsection of the prospectus and **APPENDIX A**.  |
| **Optional Benefits** | As a Policy Owner, you may be able to obtain extra fixed benefits under your Policy, which may require that you pay additional charges. These optional insurance benefits are described in what is known as "riders" to the Policy. Riders are generally only available at Policy issuance, unless noted otherwise.<br>Rider benefits will no longer be available if the Policy lapses or you request a full surrender of the Policy. Some riders are not available in conjunction with other riders and other restrictions may apply. Some riders described in the prospectus, such as the LifeAccess Accelerated Benefit Rider, Disability Access Rider, Guaranteed Minimum Accumulation Benefit Rider ("GMAB") and Guaranteed Paid-Up Death Benefit Rider ("GMDB"), are subject to benefit limitations and eligibility requirements. <br>The Guaranteed Minimum Accumulation Benefit Rider ("GMAB") and the Guaranteed Paid-Up Death Benefit Rider ("GMDB") are also subject to certain conditions. Both GMAB and GMDB require that a Cumulative Rider Premium be paid in order to maintain those riders. For both the GMAB and the GMDB riders, Policy withdrawals and Face Amount reductions will reduce rider benefits and the Cumulative Rider Premium, while rider charges will continue. The LifeAccess Accelerated Benefit Rider will terminate on the date you make a withdrawal under the Policy during a Benefit Period.<br>Some riders described in the prospectus may be subject to state variations or may not be available in all states. Please refer to **APPENDIX B**, which is part of the prospectus, for state availability and a description of all material variations to riders and features that differ from the description contained in the prospectus. For more information on optional benefits under the Policy, please refer to the **RIDERS** section of the prospectus. |

| **TAXES** | **TAXES** |
| **Tax Implications** | You should consult with a tax professional to determine the tax implications of an investment in and payments received under the Policy. There is no additional tax benefit if you purchase the Policy through a tax-qualified plan. Withdrawals may be subject to ordinary income tax and a 10% additional tax. There is a risk that the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") could assert that the Policy has been effectively terminated when you exercise the Overloan Protection Rider and that the outstanding loan balance should be treated as a distribution. See **Overloan Protection Rider** under the **RIDERS** section of the prospectus. For more information on tax implications relating to Policy investments, please refer to the **TAXES** section of the prospectus. |
| **CONFLICTS OF INTEREST** | **CONFLICTS OF INTEREST** |
| **Investment Professional Compensation** | Investment professionals receive compensation for selling the Policy to investors and may have a financial incentive to offer or recommend the Policy over another investment. Compensation (commissions, overrides, and any expense reimbursement allowance) is paid to broker-dealers that are registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and/or entities that are exempt from such registration ("firms"). The individual representative will receive all or a portion of the compensation, depending on the practice of the firm. For more information on investment professional compensation, please refer to the **DISTRIBUTION AND COMPENSATION** section and the **Commissions Paid To Broker-Dealers** subsection of the prospectus.  |
| **Exchanges** | Some investment professionals may have a financial incentive to offer you a policy in place of the one you already own. You should only exchange your Policy if you determine after comparing the features, fees, and risks of both policies, that it is preferable to purchase the policy, rather than continue to own your existing Policy. For more information on exchanges, please refer to the paragraph titled **Replacement of a Policy** in the **PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE POLICY** section of the prospectus. |
