Charges for Early
Withdrawals

If you make a withdrawal in excess of the free withdrawal amount before the 7th
anniversary since your last Purchase Payment (Design 1 and Design 3) or 4th
anniversary (Design 2), you may be assessed a surrender charge of up to 8.5% of the
amount withdrawn, declining to 0% over that time period. For example, if you purchase
a Contract and make a withdrawal of $100,000 during the first year after your Purchase
Payment, you could be assessed a charge of up to $8,500 on the Purchase Payment
withdrawn.
