IMPORTANT INFORMATION YOU SHOULD CONSIDER ABOUT THE CONTRACT

FEES AND EXPENSES LOCATION IN PROSPECTUS
Charges for Early Withdrawals
If you withdraw premium from your Contract within 9 years following the premium payment, you may be assessed a surrender charge. The maximum surrender charge is 1.588% of the amount of premium withdrawn. For example, if you make a full surrender during the first year after issue of your policy, you could pay a surrender charge of up to $1,588 on a $100,000 investment. The surrender charge then gradually declines each year, until the 9th year, after which no surrender charge is assessed.
Charges and Deductions - Surrender Charge
Transaction Charges In addition to surrender charges, you also may be charged for other transactions, such as when premium is allocated, when you transfer cash value between investment options more than 15 times in a Policy Year, each time you request an in-force illustration in excess of one per Policy Year, if a transaction under your policy requires underwriting approval after the Commencement Date, when you make a partial surrender, when you request an expedited delivery of surrender, partial surrender, or loan proceeds, In addition, for policies sold in certain states, you may be charged for premium taxes. Charges and Deductions
Ongoing Fees and Expenses
(annual charges)
In addition to surrender charges and transaction charges, an investment in the Contract is subject to certain ongoing fees and expenses, including fees and expenses covering the cost of insurance under the Contract and the cost of optional benefits available under the Contract. Such fees and expenses are set based on characteristics of the insured (e.g., age, sex, and rating classification). Investors should view the policy specifications page of their Contract for rates applicable to their Contract.

RISKS LOCATION IN PROSPECTUS
Risk of Loss You can lose money by investing in this Contract. Summary - Risks of the Policy
Not a
Short-Term Investment
This Contract is not designed for short-term investing and is not appropriate for an investor who needs ready access to cash. Withdrawal charges apply for up to 9 years following your last premium payment. To the extent they apply, they will reduce the value of your Contract if you withdraw money during that time. The benefits of tax deferral and living benefit protections also mean the Contract is more beneficial to investors with a long time horizon. Summary - Risks of the Policy
Risks Associated with Investment Options
•An investment in this Contract is subject to the risk of poor investment performance and can vary depending on the performance of the investment options you choose.
•Each investment option (including the Fixed Account) has its own unique risks.
•You should review the investment options before making an investment decision.
Summary - The Underlying Mutual Funds and Associated Risks
Insurance Company Risks
