**OVERVIEW OF THE CERTIFICATE**

**Purpose.** The Certificate is a variable annuity certificate. It provides a means for investing on a tax-deferred basis in the Declared Interest Option and the Investment Options. The Certificate is intended for retirement savings or other long-term investment purposes. The Certificate has various optional features and benefits that may be appropriate for you based on your financial situation and objectives. The Certificate also offers certain death benefit features, which can be used to transfer assets to your Beneficiaries.

The Certificate is not intended for people who may need to make early or frequent withdrawals, and may not be appropriate for you if you do not have a long-term investment horizon.

**Phases of the Certificate.** The Certificate has two phases: the accumulation phase and the annuity phase. During the accumulation phase, earnings accumulate on a tax-deferred basis and are taxed as ordinary income when you make a withdrawal. To help you accumulate assets during the accumulation phase, you can invest your purchase payments and Accumulated Value in: (1) Investment Options available under the Certificate, each of which has its own investment strategies and risks; investment adviser(s); expense ratio; and performance history; and (2) the Declared Interest Option, which offers a guaranteed interest rate during selected periods. **Additional information about the Declared Interest Option and each of the Investment Options in which the Subaccounts invest is provided in the Appendix: Investment Options Available Under the Certificate.**

The annuity phase occurs when you or a designated payee begin receiving regular annuity payments from your Certificate. All optional benefits, including death benefits, terminate without value at the start of the annuity phase. Depending on the settlement option you elect, any remaining guarantee (i.e., cash refund amount or guaranteed annuity payments) will be paid to your Beneficiary (or Beneficiaries). In addition, depending on the settlement option you elect, you may be unable to make withdrawals once you enter the annuity phase.

**Certificate Features.** The following is a brief description of the Certificate's primary features.

● **Accessing your Money.** Before you annuitize, you can withdraw money from your Certificate at any time. If you take a withdrawal, you may have to pay a surrender charge and/or income taxes, including an additional tax if you are younger than age 59<sup>1</sup>/<sub>2</sub>.

● **Tax Treatment.** You can transfer money among Investment Options without tax implications, and earnings (if any) on your investments are generally tax-deferred. You are only subject to tax upon: (1) making a withdrawal; (2) receiving a payment from us; or (3) payment of a death benefit.

● **Death Benefits.** The Certificate includes, at no additional cost, a standard death benefit that will pay a death benefit to your Beneficiary (ies) if you die during the accumulation phase. You may also qualify for the Incremental Death Benefit Rider, which may increase the amount of money payable to your designated Beneficiaries upon your death.

**Additional Services.**

● **Dollar Cost Averaging Program.** This program allows you to systematically transfer a set amount each month between certain Subaccounts and the Declared Interest Option.

● **Automatic Rebalancing Program.** This program directs us to automatically rebalance your Accumulated Value to maintain a particular percentage allocation among the Subaccounts and Declared Interest Option.

● **Systematic Withdrawal Program.** This program allows you to receive regular automatic withdrawals from selected Subaccounts or the Declared Interest Option (either monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually) provided that each payment must amount to at least $100.

------

● **Interest Sweep Program.** This program automatically transfers interest earnings from the Declared Interest Option to one or more Subaccounts on your Certificate Anniversary.

**Inherited Nonqualified Certificates.** We also issue inherited Nonqualified Certificates to Beneficiaries under other nonqualified annuity contracts, including Nonqualified Certificates we issued, who are entitled to death benefit proceeds from those contracts for the purpose of taking post-death required distributions under Section 72(s) of the Code. Under an inherited Nonqualified Certificate, the initial premium payment must be received in the form of death benefit proceeds from one or more nonqualified annuity contracts through a tax-free exchange pursuant to Section 1035 of the Code. You cannot make subsequent premium payments under your inherited Nonqualified Certificate.

You must begin taking required minimum distributions under your inherited Nonqualified Certificate, or payments must have started under a prior inherited nonqualified annuity, within one year of the date of death of the decedent (the person whose death triggered your right to receive death benefit proceeds). Surrender charges do not apply to these required minimum distributions. You may not elect any of the settlement options. If your inherited Nonqualified Certificate is in force on the Retirement Date, we will pay you the surrender value of your inherited Nonqualified Certificate as of the Retirement Date in a single lump sum.

Upon the death of the Certificate Holder of an inherited Nonqualified Certificate, we will pay the death benefit in a single lump sum to the Beneficiary.

Depending on the state in which your Certificate is issued, certain features or benefits of the Certificate may be unavailable or different from those described in this Summary Prospectus. A list of the important differences of the Certificate's features and benefits based on the state in which we issue the Certificate is provided in Appendix C to the prospectus for the Certificate.

**BUYING THE CERTIFICATE**

**Purchasing the Certificate**

Applications should be submitted to, along with your initial premium, the Administrative Center at 1701 1<sup>st</sup> Avenue, Rock Island, Illinois, 61201. Applications can also be submitted to your financial professional. We reserve the right to reject any application.

**Premiums**

A premium is the money you give us to invest in the Certificate. The initial premium is due on the date the Certificate is issued. You may also be permitted to make subsequent premium payments. The minimum initial premium amount the Society will accept is $1,000. We may waive the minimum initial premium amount for certain Qualified Certificates or premium collection methods. You may make minimum subsequent premium payments of $50 or more at any time during the Annuitant's lifetime and before the Retirement Date. We reserve the right to reject any premium payments and to limit future premium payments.

Under inherited Nonqualified Certificates, the initial premium payment must be received in the form of death benefit proceeds from a nonqualified annuity contract through a tax-free exchange pursuant to Section 1035 of the Code. Subsequent premium payments are not permitted under inherited Nonqualified Certificates.

**Allocation of Premiums**

When you purchase a Certificate, we will allocate your premium payment to the Declared Interest Option and/or any of the Subaccounts in accordance with the premium allocation percentages shown in the application. We will allocate subsequent premium payments in accordance with the premium allocation percentages shown in the application until we receive new allocation instructions from you. You may change your allocation instructions at any time by sending Written Notice to the Administrative Center. If you change your allocation percentages, we will allocate subsequent premium payments in accordance with the new allocation instructions in effect. You may invest in up to 16 Investment Options, including the Declared Interest Option, at any one time; however, each premium payment you submit may be directed to a maximum of 10 Investment Options, including the Declared Interest Option. You must invest a minimum of 1% in each Investment Option. The Society may, in its sole discretion, raise the minimum allocation requirement to 10% at any time.

**Crediting Premiums to Your Account**

***Initial Purchase Payment.*** Once we receive your premium and the application, we will issue your Certificate and allocate your initial premium no later than the next Business Day. If your application is not properly completed, we reserve the right to retain your initial premium for up to five Business Days while we attempt to complete the application. At the end of this 5-day period, if the application is not complete, we will inform you of the reason for the delay and we will return the initial premium immediately, unless you specifically provide us your consent to retain the premium until the application is complete.

***Subsequent Purchase Payments.*** We will allocate subsequent premiums in the same manner at the end of the Valuation Period when we receive them at the Administrative Center, unless the allocation percentages are changed. We must receive a premium payment at the Administrative Center by 3:00 p.m. central time on a Business Day for the premium to be allocated that Business Day and credited with Subaccount unit values determined as of that time. Premiums received at or after 3:00 p.m. central time on a Business Day will be allocated on the following Business Day and credited with Subaccount unit values determined as of the close of that Business Day (3:00 p.m. central time).

**MAKING WITHDRAWALS: ACCESSING THE MONEY IN YOUR CERTIFICATE**

**Accumulation Phase**

During the accumulation phase, you may withdraw part of the Accumulated Value upon Written Notice at any time before the Retirement Date. The minimum amount which you may partially withdraw is $500. If your partial withdrawal reduces your Accumulated Value to less than $2,000, it may be treated as a full surrender of the Certificate. The Certificate will terminate if the Accumulated Value decreases to $0 for any reason. If the Certificate is being surrendered, the surrender charge is deducted from the Accumulated Value in determining the Net Accumulated Value. For a partial withdrawal, the surrender charge may, at the election of the Certificate Holder, be deducted from the Accumulated Value remaining after the amount requested is withdrawn or be deducted from the amount of the withdrawal requested. In each Certificate Year, you may withdraw a maximum of 10% of the Accumulated Value without incurring a surrender charge (the "10% withdrawal privilege").

There are limitations on your ability to take withdrawals during the accumulation phase. These limitations are as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Surrender Charges and Taxes**  | There may be surrender charges and tax implications <br>when you take out money. |
| **Negative impact on benefits and <br>guarantees of your Policy** | A withdrawal will reduce your Accumulated Value and<br>may reduce the amount of the death benefit we pay. |
| **Internal Revenue Code or <br>Retirement Plan**  | Depending on the circumstances, the Internal Revenue<br>Code or your retirement plan may restrict your ability <br>to take withdrawals. |

---

**Annuity Phase**

The accumulation phase of your Certificate ends on the Retirement Date you select. At that time, your proceeds will be applied under a settlement option, unless you elect to receive this amount in a single sum. The proceeds are the amount we apply to a settlement option. The amount of proceeds will equal either: (1) the Net Accumulated Value if you are surrendering your Certificate; (2) the death benefit if the Annuitant dies; or (3) the amount of any partial withdrawal you apply to a settlement option. Although tax consequences may vary depending on the settlement option elected, a portion of each annuity payment is generally not taxed and the remainder is taxed as ordinary income. Once the investment in your Certificate has been fully recovered, however, the full amount of each annuity payment is subject to tax as ordinary income.

**Requesting a Withdrawal**

You may withdraw part of the Accumulated Value or surrender your Certificate upon Written Notice on or before the Retirement Date. We will process the request based on the net asset value next determined after we receive your Written Notice, and your Certificate if a surrender, at the Administrative Center. This means that if we receive your Written Notice to surrender the Certificate prior to 3:00 p.m. central time on a Business Day, we will calculate the Net Accumulated Value for your Certificate as of 3:00 p.m. central time that Business Day. If we receive your Written Notice to surrender the Certificate at or after 3:00 p.m. central time on a Business Day, we will calculate the Net Accumulated Value of your Certificate as of 3:00 p.m. central time on the following Business Day.

------

We will usually pay any surrender or partial withdrawal within seven days of receipt of a Written Notice at the Administrative Center. We also require any information or documentation necessary to process the request. We may postpone payments if:

● the New York Stock Exchange is closed, other than customary weekend and holiday closings, or trading on the exchange is restricted as determined by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission;

● the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission permits by an order the postponement for the protection of Certificate Holders; or

● the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission determines that an emergency exists that would make the disposal of securities held in the Account or the determination of the value of the Account's net assets not reasonably practicable.

We have the right to defer payment of any surrender, partial withdrawal or transfer from the Declared Interest Option for up to six months. If payment has not been made within 30 days after receipt of all required documentation, or such shorter period as necessitated by a particular jurisdiction, we will add interest at a rate equal to the minimum rate guaranteed in the Certificate (or a higher rate if required by a particular state) to the amount paid from the date all documentation was received in Good Order.

**ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT FEES**

**The following tables describe the fees and expenses that are payable when buying, owning and surrendering or making withdrawals from the Certificate. Please refer to your Certificate specifications page for information about the specific fees you will pay each year based on the options you have elected.**

**The first table describes the fees and expenses that you will pay at the time that you buy the Certificate, surrender or make withdrawals from the Certificate, or transfer Accumulated Value among the Subaccounts and the Declared Interest Option. State premium taxes may also be deducted.**

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Transaction Expenses** | **Guaranteed<br>Maximum Charge** | **Current Charge** |
| Surrender Charge (as a percentage of amount <br>withdrawn or surrendered)<sup>(1)</sup> | 8% | 8% |
| Transfer Processing Fee<sup>(2)</sup> | $25 | $25 |

---

(1) The surrender charge is only assessed during the first eight Certificate Years. The surrender charge declines 1% annually to 0% in the ninth Certificate Year. You may annually withdraw a maximum of 10% of the Accumulated Value calculated as of the most recent prior Certificate Anniversary without incurring a surrender charge. This amount is not cumulative from Certificate Year to Certificate Year. We may waive this charge under certain circumstances. (See "CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS—Surrender Charge (Contingent Deferred Sales Charge)—*Amounts Not Subject to Surrender Charge.")*

(2) We do not assess transfer processing fees for the first twelve (12) transfers in a Certificate Year, but we may impose a charge of $25 for the thirteenth (13th) and each subsequent transfer during a Certificate Year.

**The next table describes the fees and expenses that you will pay *each year* during the time that you own your Certificate, not including Fund fees and expenses.**

------

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Annual Certificate Expenses** | **Guaranteed<br>Maximum Charge** | **Current Charge** |
| Administrative Expenses (includes Annual <br>Administrative Charge)<sup>(3)</sup> | $45 | $30 |
| Base Certificate Expenses (as a percentage of average <br>variable Accumulated Value) (includes mortality and <br>expense risk charge) | 1.40% | 1.40% |

---

(3) We currently deduct an annual administrative charge of $30 on the Issue Date and on each Certificate Anniversary prior to the Retirement Date and may waive the charge if your initial premium payment, or whenever your Accumulated Value on the most recent Certificate Anniversary, is $50,000 or greater.

**The next table shows the minimum and maximum total operating expenses charged by any of the Investment Options that you may pay periodically during the time that you own the Certificate. Expenses shown may change over time and may be higher or lower in the future. A complete list of Investment Options available under the Certificate, including their annual expenses, may be found at the back of this Summary Prospectus.**

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Annual Investment Option Operating Expenses** | **Minimum** | **Maximum** |
| Annual Investment Option Operating Expenses (expenses that are <br>deducted from Investment Option assets, including management fees, <br>distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other expenses)<sup>(4)</sup> | 0.09% | 1.12% |
| Annual Investment Option Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver or <br>Reimbursement<sup>(5)</sup> | 0.09% | 1.07% |

---

(4) Some Investment Options may impose a redemption fee of up to 2% of the amount withdrawn to deter frequent trading activity.

(5) The "Annual Investment Option Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver or Reimbursement" line in the above table shows the range of minimum and maximum fees and expenses based on the expenses of all Investment Options after taking into account fee waiver or expense reimbursement arrangements in place. Those arrangements are designed to reduce total annual portfolio operating expenses for Certificate Holders and will continue past the current year.

**Examples**

The Examples are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the variable Investment Options with the cost of investing in other annuity contracts that offer variable options. These costs include transaction expenses, the annual expenses, and Investment Option fees and expenses.

The Examples assume all Accumulated Value is allocated to the variable Investment Options. Your costs could differ from those shown below if you invest in the Declared Interest Option.

Each Example assumes that you invest $100,000 in the variable Investment Options for the time periods indicated. Each Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year.

***Example 1***

The first example immediately below assumes the maximum fees and expenses of any of the Investment Options as set forth in the Annual Investment Options Operating Expenses tables. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

1. If you surrender or annuitize your Certificate at the end of the applicable time period<sup>(1)</sup>:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **1 Year** | **3 Years** | **5 Years** | **10 Years** |
| $8976 | $12592 | $16292 | $28207 |

---

------

2. If you do not surrender or annuitize at the end of the applicable time period:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **1 Year** | **3 Years** | **5 Years** | **10 Years** |
| $2520 | $7749 | $13241 | $28207 |

---

***Example 2***

The second example immediately below assumes the minimum fees and expenses of any of the Investment Options as set forth in the Annual Investment Option Operating Expenses tables. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

1. If you surrender or annuitize your Certificate at the end of the applicable time period<sup>(1)</sup>:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **1 Year** | **3 Years** | **5 Years** | **10 Years** |
| $8011 | $9619 | $11200 | $17488 |

---

2. If you do not surrender or annuitize at the end of the applicable time period:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **1 Year** | **3 Years** | **5 Years** | **10 Years** |
| $1490 | $4629 | $7992 | $17488 |

---

(1) For Certificates issued in the State of Florida, we do not apply a surrender charge if you elect to receive a life contingent settlement option as described in "CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS—Surrender Charge (Contingent Deferred Sales Charge)—*Surrender Charge at the Retirement Date*" in the prospectus. For more information on the calculation of the surrender charge associated with a partial withdrawal or surrender, see "CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS—Surrender Charge (Contingent Deferred Sales Charge)" in the prospectus.
