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Amounts withdrawn from the Contract may result in withdrawal charges,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 The reduction may be more than the amount withdrawn.

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.
