FEES AND EXPENSES

|
Charges for Early
Withdrawals
|
There are partial withdrawal charges assessed upon a partial withdrawal of
account value. A "surrender" is when you return your policy to us and we
pay you the policy's account value, if any. If a policy "lapses" it terminates
without any value. The maximum partial withdrawal charge is the lesser of
$20 or 2% of the withdrawal amount. For example, if the partial withdrawal
is $10,000, the maximum partial withdrawal charge is $20.

In addition to partial withdrawal charges (if applicable), you may also be
charged for the following transactions:
A tax charge will be deducted from each premium paid.
A transfer charge may be deducted upon transfers into or out of a variable
investment option after you have made more than 12 such transfers in a year.

Ongoing Fees and
Expenses (annual charges)
|
In addition to partial withdrawal and transaction charges, you will also be
subject to certain ongoing fees and expenses, including an insurance charge,
asset-based risk charge, policy loan costs, and supplementary benefit rider
charges. Some of these fees and expenses are based wholly or in part on the
characteristics of the insured persons (e.g., age, sex, and underwriting
classification).
You should view the "policy specifications" page of your policy for rates
applicable to your policy.

PRINCIPAL RISKS OF
INVESTING IN A
POLICY
|
|
Not a Short- Term
Investment
|
This policy is not a short-term investment and is not appropriate for
an investor who needs ready access to cash. The policy is unsuitable
as a short-term savings vehicle because of substantial policy-level
charges, including the premium charge and the partial withdrawal
charge, as well as potential adverse tax consequences from such
short-term use.

Short-Term Investment
|
|
Risks Associated with
Investment Options
|
An investment in this policy is subject to the risk of poor
performance and can vary depending on the performance of the
account allocation options available under the policy (e.g.,
portfolios). Each such option (including the fixed investment option)
will have its own unique risks, and you should review these options
before making an allocation decision. You can find the prospectuses
and other information about the portfolios at
dfinview.com/JohnHancock/PUFT/eVariableLife.

Loss
|
|
Insurance Company
Risks
|
Your investment in the policy is subject to risks related to John
Hancock USA, including that the obligations (including under the
fixed investment option), guarantees, or benefits are subject to the
claims-paying ability of John Hancock USA. Information about John
Hancock USA, including its financial strength ratings, is available
upon request from your John Hancock USA representative. Our
current financial strength ratings can also be obtained by contacting
the Service Office at 1-800-732-5543.

Policy Lapse
|
Unless the no lapse guarantee feature is in effect, this policy will go
into default if the account value of your policy is insufficient to pay
the charges when due. The "surrender value" is your account value,
less any policy debt. This can happen as a result of insufficient
premium payments, poor performance of the variable or general
account options you have chosen, withdrawals, or unpaid loans or
loan interest. If a default is not cured within a 61- day grace period,
your policy will lapse without value, and no death benefit or other
benefits will be payable.

RESTRICTIONS
|
||
|
Investments
|
There are restrictions that may limit the variable investment account
options and general account options (including the fixed investment
option) that you may choose, as well as limitations on the transfer of
account value among those options. These restrictions may include a
monthly limit on the number of transfers you may make. We may also
impose additional restrictions to discourage market timing and
disruptive trading activity.
In particular, your allocation options will be affected if you elect to
take a loan or receive benefits under certain supplementary benefit
riders.
Among other things, the policy also allows us to eliminate the shares
of a portfolio or substitute shares of another new or existing
portfolio, subject to applicable legal requirements.

|
Optional Benefits
|
There are restrictions and limitations relating to optional benefits, as
well as conditions under which an optional benefit may be modified
or terminated by us. For example, certain supplementary benefit
riders may be subject to underwriting, and your election of an option
may result in restrictions upon some of the policy benefits, including
availability of investment options.

TAXES

||
|
Tax Implications
|
You should consult with a tax professional to determine the tax
implications of an investment in and payments received under the
policy. There is no additional tax benefit to you if the policy is
purchased through a tax-qualified plan. If we pay out any amount of
your account value upon surrender or partial withdrawal, all or part
of that distribution would generally be treated as a return of the
premiums you've paid and not subjected to income tax, with any
portion not treated as a return of your premiums includible in your
income. Distributions also are subject to tax penalties under some
circumstances. If your policy is a modified endowment contract,
distributions, including policy loans, are treated as coming first from
the gain in the policy and are includible in your income.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

|
Investment Professional
Compensation
|
Some investment professionals may receive compensation for selling
the policy, including by means of commissions and revenue sharing
arrangements. These investment professionals may have a financial
incentive to offer or recommend this policy over another investment.
|
Commissions Paid to
Dealers
|
|
Exchanges
|
Some investment professionals may have a financial incentive to
offer you a new policy in place of the one you already own, and you
should only exchange your policy if you determine, after comparing
the features, fees, and risks of both policies, that it is preferable for
you to purchase the new policy rather than continue to own the
existing policy.
