|
Are There
Charges or
Adjustments for
Early
Withdrawals?
|
Yes. If you withdraw money during the first 8 full Contract Years following a
Purchase Payment, you may be assessed a withdrawal charge of up to 6% of
the Purchase Payment withdrawn, declining to 0% over that time period.
For example, if you make an early withdrawal, you could pay a withdrawal
charge of up to $6,000 on a $100,000 investment. This loss will be greater
if there are taxes or tax penalties.

Is This a
Short-Term
Investment?
|
No. This Contract is not a short-term investment and is not appropriate for
an investor who needs ready access to cash.
Amounts withdrawn from the Contract may result in withdrawal charges,
taxes and tax penalties. Withdrawal charges may apply for the first 8 years
following a Purchase Payment. Withdrawal charges will reduce the value of
your Contract if you withdraw money during that time. Withdrawals could
significantly reduce the value of your Contract, the death benefit, and other
Contract benefits. The reduction may be more than the amount withdrawn.
The benefits of tax deferral and living benefit protection also mean the
Contract is more beneficial to investors with a long time horizon.

Should I
Exchange My
Contract?
|
If you already own an insurance contract, some investment professionals
may have a financial incentive to offer you a new contract in place of the
one you own. You should only exchange a contract you already own if you
determine, after comparing the features, fees, and risks of both contracts,
and any fees or penalties to terminate the existing contract, that it is better
for you to purchase the new contract rather than continue to own your
existing contract.
