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assessed a surrender charge up to 8.0% of the amount withdrawn or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. |

appropriate for an investor who needs ready access to
cash. Surrender charges may apply for up to 10 years.

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. |
