| Risk of Loss |
You can lose money by investing in this Contract including loss of
principal. |
Principal Risks | |||
| Not a Short-Term
Investment |

investor who needs ready access to cash. Withdrawal charges may apply
for the first 9 years following a Purchase
Payment
. Withdrawal charges will reduce the value of your Contract if you
withdraw money during that time period. The benefits of tax deferral
and living benefit protection also mean the Contract is more
beneficial to investors with a long time horizon. |

If you already own an insurance contract, some investment professionals
may have a financial incentive to offer you a new contract in place
of the one you 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. |
