Charges For Early
Withdrawals |
If You make a withdrawal from or surrender the Certificate, You may be
assessed a surrender charge up to 8.0% of the amount withdrawn or
surrendered. Surrender charges are applied to surrenders and
withdrawals based on the date the premium payment is made
and not on the effective date of the Certificate.
For example, if You make an early withdrawal, You could pay a surrender
charge of up to $8,000 on a $100,000 investment. |

Not a Short-term
Investment |
This Certificate is not designed for short-term investing and is not
appropriate for an investor who needs ready access to
cash. Surrender charges may apply for up to 10 years.
Surrender charges will reduce the value of Your
Certificate if You withdraw money during the surrender
charge period.The benefits of tax deferral also mean the Certificate is more
beneficial to investors with a long-time horizon. |

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
Certificate 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
Certificate 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. |
