Glossary

Base Policy. The Policy without riders.

Cash Value. A Policy's Cash Value includes the amount of its cash value held in the Variable Account, the amount held in the Fixed Account and, if there is an outstanding Policy loan, the amount of its cash value held in our general account as a result of the loan.

Eligible Funds. The mutual fund portfolios in which you may invest through your allocations to the corresponding Sub-Accounts of the Variable Account.

Fixed Account. The Fixed Account is a part of our general account to which you may allocate net premiums. It provides guarantees of principal and interest.

Monthly Deduction.  The amount deducted from the Policy's Cash Value on the first day of each Policy month, consisting of a Policy fee, an administrative charge, a cost of insurance charge and charges for any optional rider benefits.

Net Cash Value. The amount you receive if you surrender the Policy. It is equal to the Policy's Cash Value reduced by any surrender charge that would apply on surrender and by any outstanding Policy loan and accrued interest.

Sub-Account. A division of the Variable Account which corresponds to a mutual fund portfolio, or Eligible Fund, to which you may allocate premiums and Cash Value.

Target Premium. We use the Target Premium to determine the amount of Deferred Sales Charge that may apply on a surrender, partial surrender, lapse or face amount reduction. The Target Premium varies by issue age, sex and underwriting class of the insured and the Policy's face amount. The Target Premium is less than or equal to 75% of the annual premium necessary to maintain a fixed benefit whole life insurance Policy for the same face amount on the life of the insured. We calculate the annual whole life premium using an assumed interest rate of 4%, guaranteed cost of insurance charges and the current level of other Policy charges.

Important Information You Should Consider About the Policy

	FEES AND EXPENSES	Location in Prospectus
Charges for Early Withdrawals	During the first 11 Policy years, if you surrender your Policy, reduce its face amount, or make a partial surrender that reduces the face amount, or if your Policy lapses, then we will deduct a surrender charge from the Policy's Cash Value. The surrender charge includes a Deferred Sales Charge and a Deferred Administrative Charge: •The maximum Deferred Sales Charge is 72% of premiums paid up to one Target Premium. •The maximum Deferred Administrative Charge is 0.25% of the Base Policy face amount. •For example, if you invest in a Policy with a Target Premium of $100,000 and a $1,000,000 face amount, your maximum Deferred Sales Charge would be $72,000 (72% of $100,000) and your maximum Deferred Administrative Charge would be $2,500 (0.25% of $1,000,000), for a total maximum surrender charge of $74,500.
