1. The optional living benefit is available in New York only with Sun Life Financial Masters NY variable annuities for an additional cost and is subject to conditions, restrictions, and limitations. Please read the Sun Life Financial Masters NY variable annuity prospectus for complete details.

2. Some broker/dealers may limit their clients from purchasing some optional benefits and products based upon age, and may limit participation in certain programs. Your individual representative will describe any such limitations.

3. The benefits of tax deferral in an annuity do not apply to contracts purchased as an Individual Retirement Annuity (IRA) or inside some other tax-qualified retirement plan because these plans already have tax-deferred status. Therefore, you should buy an annuity in such plans only if you value the lifetime income or beneficiary protection features that an annuity offers.
