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assessed a surrender charge up to 8.0% of the amount withdrawn or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

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

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.
