Exchanges

Some investment professionals may have a financial incentive to offer you a
new contract in place of the one you already own. You should only exchange a
contract you already own if you determine, after comparing the features, fees
and risks of both contracts, that it is better for you to purchase the new
contract rather than continue to own your existing contract.
