<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This overview tells you some key points you should know about the Contract. Because this is an overview, it does not contain all the information that may be
important to you. You should read carefully this entire Prospectus, including its Appendices, for more detailed information. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We disclose all material
features and benefits of the Contract in this Prospectus. Insurance laws and regulations apply to us in every state in which our contracts were sold. As a result, a Contract purchased in one state may have terms and conditions that vary from the
terms and conditions of a Contract purchased in a different jurisdiction. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I><A NAME="tx46196_4">Risk Factors</A> </I></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">There are various risks associated with an investment in the Contract that we summarize below. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Issuer/Guarantor Risk.</B> Your Contract was issued by John Hancock USA and thus is backed by the Company&#146;s financial strength. If the Company were to
experience significant financial adversity, it is possible that the Company&#146;s ability to pay interest and principal under the Contract could be impaired. The Guarantee Periods are subject to a subordinated guarantee by MFC. If MFC were to
experience significant financial adversity, it is possible that MFC&#146;s ability to carry out its obligations under the guarantee could be impaired. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Market Value Adjustment Risk.</B> Because of the Market Value Adjustment provision of the Contract, the Contract Owner bears the investment risk that the
guaranteed interest rates offered by us at the time of withdrawal or the start of Annuity Payments may be higher than the guaranteed interest rate applied to the Contract, with the result that the amount you receive upon withdrawal or annuitization
may be reduced by the Market Value Adjustment and may be less than your original investment in the Contract. See &#147;IV. Charges, Deductions and Adjustments - Adjustments And Charges Upon Withdrawals.&#148;<B> </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If you choose to withdraw your money or annuitize on any date other than the period 30 days after the expiration of the Guarantee Period, we will impose a
Market Value Adjustment. We will impose a &#147;negative&#148; Market Value Adjustment if you withdraw your money during a period in which the interest rates we offer on new Guarantee Periods are higher than the rate we are crediting to the current
Guarantee Period for your Contract. When we impose this Market Value Adjustment, it could result in the loss of both the interest you have earned and a portion of your Purchase Payment. We designed the Market Value Adjustment formula (which is
discussed in Appendix A: &#147;Market Value Adjustment&#148;) to reflect the effect that changes in prevailing interest rates may have on the assets the Company holds to support the Contracts. There is a &#147;<B><I>k</I></B>&#148; adjustment factor
under the Market Value Adjustment formula. This is designed to compensate us for certain expenses and losses that we may incur, either directly or indirectly, as a result of withdrawal or annuitization. Thus, the adjustment factor <B><I>k</I></B>
will cause the Market Value Adjustment to be negative. This factor effectively reduces the amount paid and functions as an additional withdrawal charge. <B>The Market Value Adjustment, alone or in combination with the applicable withdrawal charges,
could result in your total withdrawal proceeds being less than your Purchase Payment. </B>Thus, before you commit to a particular Guarantee Period, you should consider carefully whether you have the ability to remain invested throughout the
Guarantee Period. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, we cannot, of course, assure you that the Contract will perform better than another investment that you might have made.

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Tax Deferral.</B> The status of the Contract as an annuity generally allows all earnings under the Contract to be tax-deferred until withdrawn or until
Annuity Payments begin (see &#147;VII. Federal Tax Matters&#148; for a more detailed discussion). In most cases, no income tax will have to be paid on your earnings under the Contract until these earnings are paid out. This tax-deferred treatment
may be beneficial to you in building assets in a long-term investment program. <B>A Contract purchased for any tax-qualified retirement plan, including an IRA, does not provide any additional tax deferred treatment of earnings beyond the treatment
provided by the plan (for a non-Roth account). </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I></I><B>Designated Roth Accounts within Other Qualified Plans</B><I></I>. The Small Business Jobs
Act of 2010 authorizes: (1)&nbsp;participants in governmental deferred compensation plans described in section 457(b) to contribute deferred amounts to designated Roth accounts within their 457(b) plan; and (2)&nbsp;participants in 401(k), 403(b)
and certain other plans to roll over qualified distributions into a designated Roth account within their plans, <I>if allowed by their plans</I>. The Contract, however, was not designed to separately account for any Account Value in a single
Contract that is split between Roth and non-Roth accounts, <I>even if your 401(k) Plan, 403(b) Plan or 457 Plan allows you to split your account.</I> If your plan allows it, and you split your Account Value into Roth and non-Roth accounts, you or
your plan administrator (in the case of 401(k) Plans) will be responsible for the accounting of your Account Value for tax purposes: calculating withholding, income tax reporting, and verifying Required Minimum Distributions made under our Life
Expectancy Distribution program. We are not responsible for the calculations of any service provider that you may use to split Account Value between Roth and non-Roth accounts. We will deny any request that would create such a split. <I> </I></P>

durations of up to 20 years. Any additional Guarantee Periods may not be available through all authorized distributors of the Contracts. We determine from time to time the interest rates that we will guarantee for Initial and Subsequent Guarantee

Beneficiaries who opt for a lump sum payout of their portion of the death benefit may choose to receive the funds either in a single check or wire transfer or in a John Hancock Safe Access Account (&#147;JHSAA&#148;). Similar to a checking account,
the JHSAA provides the Beneficiary access to the payout funds via a checkbook, and account funds earn interest at a variable interest rate. Any interest paid may be taxable. The Beneficiary can obtain the remaining death benefit proceeds in a single
sum at any time by cashing one check for the entire amount. The Beneficiary may draw a check on the JHSAA that is payable to himself/herself as well as to any other person or party. Note, however, that a JHSAA is not a true checking account, but is
solely a means of distributing the Contract&#146;s death benefit. The Beneficiary can only make withdrawals and not deposits. The JHSAA is part of our general account; it is not a bank account and it is not insured by the FDIC or any other
government agency. As part of our General Account, it is subject to the claims of our creditors. We may receive a benefit from managing proceeds held in a JHSAA. </P>

Maturity Date is the first day of the month following the 95<SUP STYLE="font-size:85%; vertical-align:top">th</SUP> birthday of the Annuitant. You may specify a different Maturity Date at any time by written request at least one month before both
the previously specified and the new Maturity Date. Without our consent, the new Maturity Date may not be later than the maximum Maturity Date. We will deny our consent to a later Maturity Date based upon any current or future legal restrictions
imposed by state laws and regulations, by regulatory authorities or by the Code and the IRS. Currently, for Nonqualified Contracts, the IRS has not provided guidance with respect to a maximum date on which annuity payments must start. In the event
that any future rulings, regulations, or other pronouncements by the IRS provide us with guidance, we may need to restrict your ability to change to a Maturity Date under a Nonqualified Contract which occurs when the Annuitant is at an advanced age
(for example, past age 95). You should consult with a qualified tax advisor for information about potential adverse tax consequences for such Maturity Dates. You will be required to select the shortest available Guarantee Period if all of the
then-available Guarantee Periods have expiration dates that would extend beyond the maximum Maturity Date. The Maximum Maturity Date will be revised to match the expiration date of that shortest available Subsequent Guarantee Period. The occurrence
or scheduled occurrence of Maturity Dates when the Annuitant is at an advanced age, <I>e.g</I>., past age 95, may in some circumstances have adverse income tax consequences (see &#147;VII. Federal Tax Matters&#148; for a more detailed discussion).

We first determine the portion of the Gross Withdrawal Amount that is subject to a Market Value Adjustment and withdrawal charges. Since you requested a total withdrawal of Account Value, we subtract the free withdrawal amount ($800) from your
Account Value ($16,800). The Gross Withdrawal Amount subject to Market Value Adjustment and withdrawal charges in this case is $16,000. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Step 2</I>: We

guaranteed interest period (5% for a 5&nbsp;year term). These are the same assumptions we use in the first example in Appendix A, and we would calculate a Market Value Adjustment factor as shown in that example (0.94201) to <I>reduce</I> the amount
payable to you. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We determine the amount of the Market Value Adjustment by multiplying the Gross Withdrawal Amount that is subject to a Market Value
Adjustment ($16,000) by the Market Value Adjustment factor of 0.94201, which produces a result of $15,072. The amount of the Market Value Adjustment is the difference between $15,072 and $16,000, or a negative $928. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Step 3</I>: We next determine the amount of your withdrawal charge. To do this, we multiply the Gross Withdrawal Amount that is subject to a withdrawal

withdrawal amount ($800) from the Gross Withdrawal Amount calculated above ($6,696). We then multiply the difference ($5,896) by the Market Value Adjustment factor, which produces a result of $5,554. The amount of the Market Value Adjustment is the

in a withdrawal charge of $354. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Step 4</I>: As a result of your assumed request for a &#147;net&#148; partial withdrawal of $6,000, we would deduct a
total of $6,696 from your Account Value. We would pay you the requested $6,000, and your remaining Account Value would equal $10,104. Your Contract would remain in force. </P>

subject to a Market Value Adjustment and withdrawal charges. Since you requested a &#147;gross&#148; partial withdrawal of Account Value, we subtract the free withdrawal amount ($800) from the total amount of your request ($6,000). The Gross
Withdrawal Amount subject to Market Value Adjustment and withdrawal charges in this case is $5,200. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Step 2</I>: We next determine the amount of the

0.94201, which produces a result of $4,898. The amount of the Market Value Adjustment is the difference between $4,898 and $5,200, or a negative $302. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Step 3</I>: We next determine the amount of your withdrawal charge. To do this, we multiply the Gross Withdrawal Amount that is subject to a withdrawal
charge ($5,200) by the 6% withdrawal charge to produce a withdrawal charge of $312. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Step 4:</I> As a result of your assumed request for a

issued by John Hancock USA, formerly known as &#147;The Manufacturers Life Insurance Company (U.S.A.),&#148; a stock life insurance company originally organized under the laws of Maine on August&nbsp;20, 1955 by a special act of the Maine
legislature. John Hancock USA redomesticated under the laws of Michigan on December&nbsp;30, 1992. John Hancock USA is authorized to transact life insurance and annuity business in all states (except New York), the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto
Rico and the Virgin Islands. Its principal office is located at 601 Congress Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02210-2805. John Hancock USA also has an Annuities Service Center &#150; its mailing address is P.O. Box 55444, Boston, MA 02205-5444; its

John Hancock USA is MFC, a publicly traded company, based in Toronto, Canada. The Company changed its name to John Hancock Life Insurance Company (U.S.A.) on January&nbsp;1, 2005 following MFC&#146;s acquisition of John Hancock Financial Services,
Inc. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Rating Agencies, Endorsements and Comparisons.</B> We are ranked and rated by independent financial rating services, including Moody&#146;s
Investors Service, Inc., Standard&nbsp;&amp; Poor&#146;s Rating Services, Fitch Ratings Ltd. and A.M. Best Company. The purpose of these ratings is to reflect the financial strength or claims-paying ability of John Hancock USA. The ratings are not
intended to reflect the investment experience or financial strength of the MVA Separate Account or the Contracts. The ratings are available on our website. We may from time to time publish the ratings in advertisements, sales literature, reports to

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Regulation.</B> John Hancock USA is subject to the laws of the State of Michigan governing insurance companies and to the regulation of Michigan&#146;s
Office of Financial and Insurance Regulation. In addition, we are subject to regulation under the insurance laws of other jurisdictions in which we operate. Regulation by the applicable insurance department includes periodic examination of our
operations, including contract liabilities and reserves. Regulation by supervisory agencies includes licensing to transact business, overseeing trade practices, licensing agents, approving policy forms, establishing reserve requirements, fixing
maximum interest rates on life insurance policy loans and minimum rates for accumulation of surrender values, prescribing the form and content of required financial statements and regulation of the type and amounts of investments permitted. Our
books and accounts are subject to review by the applicable insurance department and other supervisory agencies at all times, and we file annual statements with these agencies. A full examination of our operations is conducted periodically by the
applicable insurance departments. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under insurance guaranty fund laws in most states, insurers doing business therein can be assessed (up to prescribed
limits) for policyholder losses incurred by insolvent companies. The amount of any future assessments on us under these laws cannot be reasonably estimated. Most of these laws do provide, however, that an assessment may be excused or deferred if it
would threaten an insurer&#146;s own financial strength. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Although the federal government generally does not directly regulate the business of insurance,
federal initiatives often have an impact on the business in a variety of ways. Federal legislation that removed barriers preventing banks from engaging in the insurance business or that changed the federal income tax treatment of insurance
companies, insurance company products, or employee benefit plans could significantly affect the insurance business. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><A NAME="tx46196_43"></A>MVA

Separate Account is not registered as an investment company under the U.S. Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Company maintains in its MVA Separate Account assets which it selects in accordance with applicable state law and which have a
market value (or other value prescribed by applicable state law) equal to the reserves the Company must maintain for the Contracts and its other liabilities with respect to the account. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A Contract Owner has no interest in the performance of a MVA Separate Account. A Contract Owner&#146;s Account Value is based on the interest rates we
guarantee under the Contract and not on the performance of a MVA Separate Account. Any gain or loss in the Company&#146;s MVA Separate Account accrues solely to the Company, and we assume any risk associated with the possibility that the value of
the assets in the MVA Separate Account might fall below the reserves and other liabilities that must be maintained. Should the value of the assets in the Company&#146;s MVA Separate Account fall below reserve and other liabilities, the Company will

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Contracts were sold by registered representatives of broker-dealers authorized by JH Distributors to sell them. Such registered representatives were also
our licensed insurance agents. JH Distributors pays distribution compensation to authorized broker-dealers in varying amounts, which under normal circumstances are not expected to exceed 5% of Purchase Payments. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The registered representative through whom your Contract was sold is compensated pursuant to that registered representative&#146;s own arrangement with his or
her broker-dealer. The registered representative and the firm may have multiple options on how they wish to allocate their commissions and/or compensation. We are not involved in determining your registered representative&#146;s compensation. You
are encouraged to ask your registered representative about the basis upon which he or she is personally compensated for the advice or recommendations provided in connection with the sale and maintenance of your Contract. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We may make additional payments to firms. These payments are sometimes referred to as &#147;revenue sharing.&#148; Revenue sharing expenses are any payments
made to broker-dealers or other intermediaries either (i)&nbsp;to compensate the intermediary for expenses incurred in connection with the promotion and/or sale of John Hancock investment products or (ii)&nbsp;to obtain promotional and/or
distribution services for John Hancock investment products. Many firms that sold the Contracts receive one or more types of these cash payments. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We are
among several insurance companies that paid additional payments to certain firms to receive &#147;preferred&#148; or recommended status. These privileges included: additional or special access to sales staff; opportunities to provide and/or attend
training and other conferences; advantageous placement of our products on customer lists (&#147;shelf-space arrangements&#148;); and other improvements in sales by featuring our products over others. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Revenue sharing payments assisted in our efforts to promote the sale of the Contracts, and they could be significant to a firm. Not all firms, however,
receive additional compensation. We determine which firms to support and the extent of the payments we are willing to make, and generally chose to compensate firms that were willing to cooperate with our promotional efforts, and that had a strong
capability to distribute the Contracts. We did not make an independent assessment of the cost of providing such services. Instead, we agreed with the firm on the methods for calculating any additional compensation. The methods, which varied by firm,
may have included different categories to measure the amount of revenue sharing payments, such as the level of sales, assets attributable to the firm and the annuity contracts covered under the arrangement (including contracts issued by any of our
affiliates). The categories of revenue sharing payments that we may provide to firms, directly or through JH Distributors, are not mutually exclusive and may vary from contract to contract. Currently, we have revenue sharing agreements in effect
with Edward Jones and Signator Investors, Inc. We or our affiliates may make additional types of revenue sharing payments for other products, and may enter into new revenue sharing arrangements in the future. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The MFC Subordinated Guarantee was implemented in order to relieve John Hancock USA of the obligation to file with the SEC annual, quarterly and current
reports on Form 10-K, Form 10-Q and Form 8-K, and thus to save the expense of being an SEC reporting company. MFC, the company that is providing the MFC Subordinated Guarantee, is the ultimate parent of all of the companies in the John Hancock group
of companies, including John Hancock USA. MFC is a company organized under the laws of Canada and its common shares are listed principally on the Toronto Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange. MFC files with the SEC annual reports on Form
40-F and other reports on Form 6-K. The financial results of John Hancock USA are included in MFC&#146;s consolidated financial statements in a footnote containing condensed consolidating financial information with separate columns for MFC, John
Hancock USA and other subsidiaries of MFC, together with consolidating adjustments. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>What are the terms of the MFC Subordinated Guarantee? </I></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">MFC guarantees your full interest in any Guarantee Period to which this Prospectus relates. This means that, if John Hancock USA fails to honor any valid
request to surrender or withdraw any amount from a Guarantee Period, or fails to allocate amounts from a Guarantee Period to an annuity option when it is obligated to do so, MFC guarantees the full amount that you would have received, or value that
you would have been credited with, had John Hancock USA fully met its obligations under your Contract with respect to such Guarantee Period. If John Hancock USA fails to pay any amount that becomes payable under the Contract upon the death of an
Owner or Annuitant, MFC guarantees the unpaid amount, up to the Account Value in any Guarantee Period on the date of death, increased by any accrued but uncredited interest attributable thereto. There is no charge or cost to you for receiving the
MFC Subordinated Guarantee. If John Hancock USA fails to make payment when due of any amount that is guaranteed by MFC, you could directly request MFC to satisfy John Hancock USA&#146;s obligation, and MFC must do so. You would not have to make any
other demands on John Hancock USA as a precondition to making a claim against MFC under the MFC Subordinated Guarantee. The MFC Subordinated Guarantee is issued pursuant to a subordinated guarantee dated July&nbsp;15, 2009, whereby MFC is the
guarantor. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The MFC Subordinated Guarantee will constitute an unsecured obligation of MFC as guarantor, and will be subordinated in right of payment to

result, in the event of MFC&#146;s bankruptcy, liquidation, dissolution, winding-up or reorganization or upon acceleration of any series of debt securities due to an event also triggering payment obligations on other debt, MFC&#146;s assets will be
available to pay its obligations on the MFC Subordinated Guarantee only after all secured indebtedness and other indebtedness senior to the MFC Subordinated Guarantee has been paid in full. There may not be sufficient assets remaining to pay amounts

The MFC Subordinated Guarantee provides that any claim or proceeding brought by a holder to enforce the obligations of MFC, as guarantor, may be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in the City of Boston, Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and
that MFC submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in connection with such action or proceeding. MFC has designated John Hancock USA as its authorized agent upon whom process may be served in any legal action or proceeding against MFC
arising out of or in connection with the MFC Subordinated Guarantee. All payments on the Contracts offered by this Prospectus by MFC under the MFC Subordinated Guarantee will be made without withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any

having power to tax, unless the withholding or deduction of such taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges by MFC is required by law or by the administration or interpretation of such law. In the event of any withholding or deduction, MFC

currently no reasons under the present laws of the Province of Ontario for avoiding recognition of said judgments of Massachusetts Courts on the MFC Subordinated Guarantee based upon public policy. However, it may be difficult for holders of
Contracts to effect service within the United States upon MFC&#146;s directors and officers and the experts named in this Prospectus who are not residents of the United States or to enforce against them, both in and outside of the United States,
judgments of courts of the United States predicated upon civil liability under United States federal securities laws. MFC has designated John Hancock USA as its authorized agent upon whom process may be served in any legal action or proceeding
against MFC arising out of or in connection with the applicable MFC Subordinated Guarantee. Based on the opinion of Torys LLP, MFC believes that a monetary judgment of a United States court predicated solely upon the civil liability provisions of
United States federal securities laws would likely be enforceable in Canada if the United States court in which the judgment was obtained had a basis for jurisdiction in the matter that was recognized by a Canadian court for such purposes. We cannot
assure you that this will be the case since the case law in Canada in respect of this matter is not entirely clear. It is less certain that an action could be brought in Canada in the first instance on the basis of liability predicated solely upon
such laws. </P>

penalties. The federal income tax treatment of the Contracts is unclear in certain circumstances, and you should consult a qualified and independent tax advisor with regard to the application of law to your individual circumstances. Bear in mind
that the tax-related discussions herein may have been written to support the promotion or marketing of a transaction or other matter that is relevant to you for tax purposes. The following discussion is based on the Code, IRS regulations, and

contracts under Section&nbsp;72 of the Code. This means that, ordinarily, federal income tax on any gains in your Account Value will be deferred until we actually make a distribution to you or you assign or pledge an interest in your Contract. When
your Account Value exceeds your investment in the Contract, that excess represents gain in the Contract. You have to include that gain in your gross income if you subsequently take a withdrawal or distribution from the Contract (e.g., as a partial
withdrawal, full withdrawal, annuity payment or death benefit) or are deemed to receive a distribution (e.g., through a collateral assignment or certain transfers of ownership). </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">However, a Contract held by an Owner other than a natural person (for example, a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust, or other such
entity) does not generally qualify as an annuity contract for tax purposes. Any increase in value therefore would constitute ordinary taxable income to such an Owner in the year earned. Notwithstanding this general rule, a Contract will ordinarily
be treated as held by a natural person if the nominal Owner is a trust or other entity which holds the Contract as an agent for a natural person. This exception does not apply in the case of any employer which is the nominal owner of an annuity
contract under a nonqualified deferred compensation arrangement for its employees. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition to the foregoing, if the Contract&#146;s maturity date
occurs, or is scheduled to occur, at a time when the annuitant is at an advanced age, such as over age 95, it is possible that the Owner will be taxable currently on the annual increase in the account value. </P>

Contract before the Maturity date or if you or your Beneficiary do not select an extended payment option for a death benefit payment. Except in the case of a section 1035 exchange, the &#147;investment in the contract&#148; at any time equals the

systematic withdrawal plan, all or part of the payment may constitute taxable ordinary income to you. If, on the date of the withdrawal, the Contract&#146;s Account Value exceeds the investment in the contract, the excess constitutes gain and the
withdrawal will be taxable as ordinary income up to the amount of such gain. If a withdrawal exceeds the gain in your Contract, the excess amount is a tax-free return of your investment in the contract. </P>

ownership of a Contract issued after April&nbsp;22, 1987, without receiving full and adequate consideration, the transfer is taxed like a surrender of the Contract. The transferor must include in gross income the amount by which the Account Value
exceeds any investment in the Contract. The amount included in income may also be subject to a penalty tax for premature distributions as explained below. The new Owner&#146;s investment in the Contract is increased by the amount included in the
transferor&#146;s gross income as a result of the transfer. A qualified tax advisor should be consulted in those situations. However, these tax rules do not apply to a transfer between Spouses or a transfer to a former Spouse incident to a divorce
under Code section 1041. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">There is some uncertainty regarding the treatment of the Market Value Adjustment for purposes of determining the amount

Prospectus, the IRS has not issued any final regulations addressing these determinations. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Taxation of Annuity Payments.</B> When we make payments
under a Contract in the form of Annuity Payments, normally a portion of each annuity payment is taxable as ordinary income. The taxable portion of an Annuity Payment is equal to the excess of the payment over the <I>exclusion amount</I>. The
exclusion amount is the amount determined by multiplying (1)&nbsp;the payment by (2)&nbsp;the ratio of the investment in the Contract, adjusted for any period certain or refund feature, to the cumulative expected Annuity Payments for the term of the
Contract (determined under Treasury Department regulations). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Once the total amount of the investment in the Contract has been excluded using this ratio,
further Annuity Payments will be fully taxable. If Annuity Payments cease because the Annuitant dies before all of the investment in the Contract is recovered, the unrecovered investment in the contract generally will be allowed as a deduction to
the Owner. If there is a Beneficiary entitled to receive further payments, the unrecovered amount will be distributed to the Beneficiary as described more fully below under &#147;Taxation of Death Proceeds.&#148; </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">There may be special income tax issues present in situations where the Owner and the Annuitant are not the same person or are not married. You should consult

specifies that the tax cost basis, or investment in the contract, be allocated pro rata between the portion of the contract being annuitized and the portion of the contract remaining deferred. We do not permit you to apply any amount less than your
entire Account Value to the Annuity Options available under your contract. Accordingly, any portion of your Contract that you withdraw to be annuitized will be reported to the IRS as a taxable distribution unless you transfer it into another
contract (issued by John Hancock or by another company) in a partial exchange conforming to the rules of section 1035 of the Code and Rev. Proc. 2011-38. Any such withdrawal, whether carried out as a tax-deferred partial exchange or as a taxable

IRS could determine that the payment was an integrated part of the exchange. In that case, the payment would be taxable to the extent of all the gain accumulated in the original contract at the
time of the partial exchange, regardless of whether the payment came from the existing Contract or from the contract received in exchange. Application of general tax principles is dependent on the facts and circumstances of each case. However,
amounts received as an annuity during the 180-day period are not subject to the new rules, provided that the annuity payments will be made for a period of at least 10 years or for a life or joint lives. </P>

basis.&#148; After October&nbsp;23, 2011, the Owner does a partial exchange of 25% of the Account Value for a new annuity contract. Of the $25,000 transferred to the new contract, $14,000 represents gain and $11,000 represents cost basis transferred
from the original contract. Two months after the partial exchange, the Owner takes a withdrawal from the new contract in the amount of $17,000. If the IRS treats the withdrawal as a distribution from the new contract, only $14,000 will be taxable as
a distribution of income ($25,000 of Account Value - $11,000 of cost basis in the new contract). If instead the IRS determines that the withdrawal is part of the exchange, the entire $17,000 is taxable as income because there was $56,000 of gain in

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Distributions from Puerto Rico annuity contracts issued by us are subject to federal income taxation, withholding and reporting requirements as well as Puerto
Rico tax laws. Both jurisdictions impose a tax on distributions. Under federal requirements, distributions are deemed to be income first. Under the Puerto Rico tax laws, however, distributions from a Contract not purchased to fund a Qualified Plan
(&#147;Nonqualified Contract&#148;) are generally treated as a nontaxable return of principal until the principal is fully recovered. Thereafter, all distributions under a Nonqualified Contact are fully taxable. Puerto Rico does not currently impose
an early withdrawal penalty tax on premature distributions from a Nonqualified Contract. The Code, however, does impose such a penalty and bases it on the amount that is taxable under federal rules. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Annuitized distributions under a Nonqualified Contract are treated as part taxable income and part nontaxable return of principal. With annuitization, the
annual amount excluded from gross income under Puerto Rico tax law is equal to the amount of the distribution in excess of 3% of the total Purchase Payments paid, until an amount equal to the total Purchase Payments paid has been excluded.
Thereafter, the entire distribution from a Nonqualified Contract is included in gross income. For federal income tax purposes, however, the portion of each annuity payment that is subject to tax is computed on the basis of investment in the Contract
and the expected return under the Contract. Generally Puerto Rico does not require income tax to be withheld from distributions of income from annuity contracts. Although Puerto Rico allows a credit against its income tax for taxes paid to the
federal government, you may not be able to use the credit fully. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I><A NAME="tx46196_57">In General</A> </I></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I></I>The Contracts
are also designed for use in connection with certain types of qualified retirement plans which receive favorable treatment under the Code. Numerous special tax rules apply to participants in such Qualified Plans and to Contracts used in connection
with such Qualified Plans. In this Prospectus we provide only general information about the use of the Contract with the various types of Qualified Plans. Persons intending to use the Contract in connection with a Qualified Plan should seek
competent advice. <I>We may limit the availability of the Contracts to certain types of Qualified Plans and may discontinue making Contracts available to any Qualified Plan in the future</I>. <I>If you intend to use a Contract in connection with a
Qualified Plan you should consult a qualified tax advisor. </I></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The tax rules applicable to Qualified Plans vary according to the type of plan and the
terms and conditions of the plan itself. For example, for both withdrawals and annuity payments under certain Qualified Contracts, there may be no &#147;investment in the contract&#148; and the total amount received may be taxable. Both the amount
of the contribution that may be made, and the tax deduction or exclusion that you may claim for such contribution, are limited under Qualified Plans. Under the tax rules, the Owner and Annuitant may not be different individuals, if the Contract is
used in connection with a Qualified Plan. If a co-Annuitant is named, all distributions made while the Annuitant is alive must be made to the Annuitant. Also, if a co-Annuitant is named who is not the Annuitant&#146;s Spouse, the Annuity Options
which are available may be limited, depending on the difference in ages between the Annuitant and co-Annuitant. Furthermore, the length of any Guarantee Period may be limited in some circumstances to satisfy certain minimum distribution requirements
under the Code. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">When we issued a Contract in connection with a Qualified Plan, we may have amended the Contract as necessary to conform to the
requirements of the Code. We have no responsibility, however, for determining whether a particular retirement plan or a particular contribution to the plan satisfies the applicable requirements of the Code, or whether a particular employee is
eligible for inclusion under a plan. Your rights to any benefits under the plan may be subject to the terms and conditions of the plan itself, regardless of the terms and conditions of the Contracts. We will not be bound by the terms and conditions
of a Qualified Plan to the extent such terms and conditions contradict the Contract, unless we consent. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Additionally, for Contracts issued in connection
with Qualified Plans subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, the Spouse or ex-Spouse of the Owner will have rights in the Contract. In such a case, the Owner may need the consent of the Spouse or ex-Spouse to change Annuity Options
or make a withdrawal from the Contract. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In the case of a Contract held by the trustee of a Qualified Plan, references to the Owner in the discussion
below should be read to mean the employee named as the Annuitant on the Contract. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I><A NAME="tx46196_58">Required Minimum Distributions</A> </I></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Treasury Department regulations prescribe required minimum distribution (&#147;RMD&#148;) rules governing the time at which distributions to the Owner and
beneficiaries must commence and the form in which the distributions must be paid. These special rules may also require the length of any Guarantee Period to be limited. They also affect the restrictions that the Owner may impose on the timing and
manner of payment of death benefits to beneficiaries or the period of time over which a Beneficiary may extend payment of the death benefits under the Contract. In addition, the presence of the death benefit or a benefit provided under an optional
rider may affect the amount of the required minimum distributions that must be made under the Contract. Failure to comply with RMD requirements will result in the imposition of an excise tax, generally 50% of the amount by which the amount required
to be distributed exceeds the actual distribution. In the case of IRAs (other than Roth IRAs), distributions of minimum amounts (as specified in the tax law) to the Owner must generally commence by April&nbsp;1 of the calendar year following the
calendar year in which the Owner turns age 70<SUP STYLE="vertical-align:top">&nbsp;1</SUP>&#8260;<SUB STYLE="vertical-align:bottom">2</SUB>. In the case of certain other Qualified Plans, such distributions of such minimum amounts must generally
commence by the later of this date or April&nbsp;1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the employee retires from the employer who sponsored the Qualified Plan. Distributions made under certain Qualified Plans, including IRAs
and Roth IRAs, after the Owner&#146;s death must also comply with RMD requirements, and different rules governing the timing and the manner of payments apply, depending on whether the designated Beneficiary is an individual and, if so, the
Owner&#146;s Spouse, or an individual other than the Owner&#146;s Spouse. If you wish to impose restrictions on the timing and manner of payment of death benefits to your designated beneficiaries or if your Beneficiary wishes to extend over a period
of time the payment of the death benefits under your Contract, please consult your own qualified tax advisor. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Penalty Tax on Premature Distributions
</I></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">There is also a 10% penalty tax on the taxable amount of any payment from certain Qualified Contracts. (The amount of the penalty tax is 25% of the

individual&#146;s employer.) There are exceptions to this penalty tax which vary depending on the type of Qualified Plan. In the case of an IRA, including a &#147;SIMPLE IRA,&#148; exceptions
provide that the penalty tax does not apply to a payment (a)&nbsp;received on or after the date on which the Owner reaches age 59<SUP STYLE="vertical-align:top">&nbsp;1</SUP>&#8260;<SUB STYLE="vertical-align:bottom">2</SUB>, (b)&nbsp;received on or
after the Owner&#146;s death or because of the Owner&#146;s disability (as defined in the tax law), or (c)&nbsp;made as a series of substantially equal periodic payments (not less frequently than annually) for the life (or life expectancy) of the
Owner or for the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the Owner and designated beneficiary (as defined in the tax law). (You may be subject to a retroactive application of the penalty tax, plus interest, if you begin taking a series of
substantially equal periodic payments and then modify the payment pattern (other than by reason of death or disability) before the <B>later</B> of your turning age 59<SUP STYLE="vertical-align:top">&nbsp;1</SUP>&#8260;<SUB
STYLE="vertical-align:bottom">2</SUB> or the passage of five years after the date of the first payment.). These exceptions, as well as certain others not described herein, generally apply to taxable distributions from other Qualified Plans
(although, in the case of plans qualified under sections 401 and 403, exception &#147;c&#148; above for substantially equal periodic payments applies only if the Owner has separated from service). In addition, the penalty tax does not apply to
certain distributions from IRAs taken after December&nbsp;31, 1997 which are used for qualified first time home purchases or for higher education expenses. Special conditions must be met to qualify for these two exceptions to the penalty tax. If you
wish to take a distribution from an IRA for these purposes, you should consult your own qualified tax advisor. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><A NAME="tx46196_59">Qualified Plan Types

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Individual Retirement Annuities.</B> Section&nbsp;408 of the Code permits eligible individuals to contribute to an individual retirement program known as
an IRA. IRAs are subject to limits on the amounts that may be contributed and deducted, the persons who may be eligible and on the time when distributions may commence. Also, distributions from certain qualified plans may be &#147;rolled over&#148;
on a tax-deferred basis into an IRA. The Contract may not be used in connection with an &#147;Education IRA&#148; under section 530 of the Code. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Simplified Employee Pensions (SEP-IRAs).</B> Section&nbsp;408(k) of the Code allows employers to establish simplified employee pension plans for their
employees, using the employees&#146; IRAs for such purposes, if certain criteria are met. Under these plans the employer may, within specified limits, make deductible contributions on behalf of the employees to IRAs. Employers intending to use the
Contract in connection with such plans should seek competent advice. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>SIMPLE IRAs.</B> Section&nbsp;408(p) of the Code permits certain small employers
to establish &#147;SIMPLE retirement accounts,&#148; including SIMPLE IRAs, for their employees. Under SIMPLE IRAs, certain deductible contributions are made by both employees and employers. SIMPLE IRAs are subject to various requirements, including
limits on the amounts that may be contributed, the persons who may be eligible, and the time when distributions may commence. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Roth IRAs.</B>
Section&nbsp;408A of the Code permits eligible individuals to contribute to a type of IRA known as a &#147;Roth IRA.&#148; Roth IRAs are generally subject to the same rules as non-Roth IRAs, but differ in certain respects. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Among the differences are that contributions to a Roth IRA are not deductible and &#147;qualified distributions&#148; from a Roth IRA are excluded from
income. A qualified distribution is a distribution that satisfies two requirements. First, the distribution must be made in a taxable year that is at least five years after the first taxable year for which a contribution to any Roth IRA established

</TABLE> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Current tax law no longer imposes a restriction based on adjusted gross income on a taxpayer&#146;s ability to convert a

Accordingly, taxpayers with more than $100,000 of adjusted gross income may now effect such a conversion or direct rollover. The Roth IRA annual contribution limits does not apply to conversions or direct rollovers. Generally, the amount converted
or rolled over to a Roth IRA is taxable as ordinary income for the year in which the conversion or direct rollover occurs, but the premature distribution penalty tax does not apply. However, the premature distribution penalty tax may still apply if
amounts converted to a Roth IRA are distributed within the 5-taxable year period beginning in the year the conversion is made. Given the taxation of Roth IRA conversions rollovers as well as the potential for premature distribution penalty tax, you
should consider the resources that you have available, other than your retirement plan assets, for paying any taxes that would become due the year of any such conversion or rollover or in a subsequent year. You should seek independent qualified tax
advice if you intend to use the Contract in connection with a Roth IRA. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I><A NAME="tx46196_62">Puerto Rico Contracts Issued to Fund Retirement Plans</A>
</I></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The tax laws of Puerto Rico vary significantly from the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of the United States that are applicable to various
Qualified Plans. With regard to Qualified Plans, although we may offer annuity contracts in Puerto Rico in connection with Puerto Rican &#147;tax qualified&#148; retirement plans, the text of this Prospectus addresses federal tax law only and is
inapplicable to the tax laws of Puerto Rico. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Designated Roth Accounts within Qualified Plans </I></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Small Business Jobs Act of 2010 authorizes: (1)&nbsp;participants in 457(b) plans to contribute deferred amounts to designated Roth accounts within their
457(b) plan; and (2)&nbsp;participants in 401(k), 403(b) and certain other plans to roll over qualified distributions into a designated Roth account within their plans, <I>if allowed by their plans</I>. The Contract, however, was not designed to
separately account for any Account Value in a single Contract that is split between Roth and non-Roth accounts, <I>even if your 401(k) Plan or 457 Plan allows you to split your account.</I> If your plan allows it, and you split your Account Value
into Roth and non-Roth accounts, you or your plan administrator (in the case of 401(k) Plans) will be responsible for the accounting of your Account Value for tax purposes: calculating withholding, income tax reporting, and verifying the form and
amount of any RMD distributions. We are not responsible for the calculations of any service provider that you may use to split Account Value between Roth and non-Roth accounts. We will deny any request that would create such a split. </P>

federal income tax topics and issues is only a brief summary and is not intended as tax advice. It does not include a discussion of federal estate and gift tax or state tax consequences. The rules under the Code governing Qualified Plans are
extremely complex and often difficult to understand. Changes to the tax laws may be enforced retroactively. Anything less than full compliance with the applicable rules, all of which are subject to change from time to time, can have adverse tax
consequences. The taxation of an owner or other payee has become so complex and confusing that great care must be taken to avoid pitfalls. For further information you should always consult a qualified tax advisor. </P>
