FEES AND EXPENSES
|

|
Charges for Early Withdrawals
|
| |
If you withdraw money from your Policy after the first year, a withdrawal charge equal to the lesser of 2% of the amount withdrawn or $25 will be deducted from the Policy Value. For example, if you were to withdraw $100,000 from your Policy, you would be assessed a withdrawal charge of $25.
If you surrender the Policy within the first 10 Policy Years, you will be subject to a surrender charge of up to 5.80% of your Initial Face Amount. For example, if you surrender your Policy in the first Policy Year and the Initial Face Amount was $100,000, you could pay a surrender charge of up to $5,800.
For additional information about charges for surrenders and early withdrawals, see "CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS" in the Prospectus.
|
|
|
Transaction Charges
|
| |
In addition to withdrawal and surrender charges, you may be subject to other transaction charges, including charges on each premium paid under the Policy, charges in connection with a decrease to your Policy's Face Amount, charges when you exercise an optional benefit and transfer fees.
For additional information about transaction charges, see "CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS" in the Prospectus.
|
|
|
Ongoing Fees and Expenses (annual charges)
|
| |
In addition to surrender charges and transaction charges, you are also subject to certain ongoing fees and expenses under the Policy, including fees and expenses covering the cost of insurance ("COI") under the Policy and the cost of optional benefits available under the Policy. Such fees and expenses may be set based on characteristics of the Insured (e.g., age, sex, and rating classification). You should review the Policy specifications page of your Policy for rates applicable to your Policy.
You will also bear expenses associated with the Funds available under the Policy, as shown in the following table:

Risk of Loss
|
| |
You can lose money by investing in this Policy, including loss of principal.
For additional information about the risk of loss, see "POLICY BENEFITS/ RISKS SUMMARY" in the Prospectus.
|
|
|
Not a Short-Term Investment
|
| |
The Policy is not a short-term investment and is not appropriate for an investor who needs ready access to cash. The Policy is designed to provide benefits on a long-term basis. Although you are permitted to take withdrawals or surrender the Policy, surrender charges and federal and state income taxes may apply. Consequently, you should not use the Policy as a short-term investment or savings vehicle. Because of the long-term nature of the Policy, you should consider whether purchasing the Policy is consistent with the purpose for which it is being considered.
For additional information about the investment profile of the Policy, see "POLICY BENEFITS/ RISKS SUMMARY," "CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS," "USE OF THE POLICY" and "TAX CONSIDERATIONS--Taxation of Insurance Polices" in the Prospectus.
|
|
|
RISKS
|
| |||
|
Risks Associated with Investment Options
|
| |
An investment in the Policy is subject to the risk of poor investment performance and can vary depending on the performance of the investment options, or Funds, available under the Policy. Each investment option (including the Fixed Account investment option) will have its own unique risks, and you should review these investment options before making an investment decision.
For additional information about the risks associated with Investment Options, see "POLICY BENEFITS/ RISKS SUMMARY," "THE COMPANY AND THE FIXED ACCOUNT" and "THE VARIABLE ACCOUNT AND THE FUNDS" in the Prospectus.
|
|
|
Insurance Company Risks
|
| |
An investment in the Policy is subject to the risks related to Protective Life, including that any obligations (including under the Fixed Account investment options), guarantees, or benefits are subject to the claims-paying ability of the Company. More information about the Company, including its financial strength ratings, is available upon request by calling toll-free 1-888-353-2654.
For additional information about Company risks, see "POLICY BENEFITS/ RISKS SUMMARY" and "THE COMPANY AND THE FIXED ACCOUNT" in the Prospectus.
|
|
|
Policy Lapse
|
| |
Your Policy could terminate if the value of your Policy becomes too low to support the Policy's monthly charges. Your Policy may also Lapse due to insufficient premium payments, poor investment performance, withdrawals, unpaid loans, or loan interest. There is a cost associated with reinstating a Lapsed Policy. Death Benefits will not be paid if the Policy has Lapsed.
For additional information about Policy Lapse, see "POLICY BENEFITS/ RISKS SUMMARY," "PREMIUMS," "POLICY LOANS," and "POLICY LAPSE AND REINSTATEMENT" in the Prospectus.
|
|
|
RESTRICTIONS
|
| |||
|
Investments
|
| |
While you may transfer amounts in the Sub-Accounts (which invest in shares of a corresponding Fund) and the Fixed Account, certain restrictions and transfer fees apply with regard to the number and amount of such transfers. Transfers are also subject to the excessive trading and market timing polices described in the Prospectus.
We reserve the right to remove or substitute Funds as investment options.
For additional information about investment options, see "TRANSFERS OF POLICY VALUE" and "THE VARIABLE ACCOUNT AND THE FUNDS - Addition, Deletion, or Substitution of Investments" in the Prospectus.
|
|
|
Optional Benefits
|
| |
Optional benefits are subject to additional charges. Some optional benefits were available only at the time your Policy was issued and some optional benefits may not be available for all Owners or Insureds.
For additional information about the optional benefits, see "POLICY BENEFITS/ RISKS SUMMARY" and "SUPPLEMENTAL RIDERS AND ENDORSEMENTS" in the Prospectus.
|
|
|
TAXES
|
| |||
|
Tax Implications
|
| |
You should consult with a tax professional to determine the tax implications regarding the purchase, ownership, and use of a Policy. Withdrawals and surrenders may be subject to income tax and will be taxed at ordinary tax rates. In addition, withdrawals and surrenders may be subject to an additional tax depending on the circumstances.
For additional information about tax implications, see "TAX CONSIDERATIONS" in the Prospectus.
|
|
|
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
|
| |||
|
Investment Professional Compensation
|
| |
Some investment professionals have and may continue to receive compensation for selling the Policy to investors, which may include commissions, revenue sharing, compensation from affiliates and third parties. These investment professionals may have had a financial incentive to offer or recommend the Policy over another investment.
For additional information about compensation, see "SALE OF THE POLICIES" in the Prospectus.
|
|
|
Exchanges
|
| |
Some investment professionals may have a financial incentive to offer an investor a new policy in place of the one he or she already owns. 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.
For additional information about exchanges, see "EXCHANGE PRVILEGE" and "TAX CONSIDERATIONS--Section 1035 Exchanges" in the Prospectus.
