HMLIC reserves the right to remove or substitute Underlying Funds as Investment Options that are available under the Contract.
At any time before the Contract’s Annuity Date, You may transfer amounts
from one Subaccount to another, and to and from the fixed account of the
Contract, subject to certain restrictions. We reserve the right to restrict or terminate the transfer privilege
for any specific Contract Owner if, in Our judgment, the Contract Owner is using the

We,
in Our sole discretion determine to be potentially detrimental to other
shareholders of a Portfolio Company. If HMLIC determines that You are engaging in a pattern of transfers that reflects a market timing strategy or is potentially harmful to other
Contract Owners, it will notify You in writing of any restrictions. |

Investment
Professional
Compensation |
Some investment professionals may receive compensation for selling a
contract to investors. This compensation is typically
paid in the form of commissions, but the sale of the
Contract may also count toward the investment
professional’s qualification for receipt of cash
and non-cash compensation related to sales incentives or
contests. These investment professionals may have a
financial incentive to offer or recommend the Contract
over another investment. |
Other Information
- Distribution of
the Contract | |||
Exchanges |
Some investment professionals may have a financial incentive to offer
an investor a new contract in place of the one he or she
already owns. That investor should only exchange his or
her existing Contract if he or she
determines, after comparing the features, fees, and risks of both
contracts, that it is preferable for him or her to
purchase the new Contract rather than
continue to own the existing contract. |
