| Is This a Short-
Term Investment? |
No. This Contract is not a short-term investment and is not appropriate for
an investor who needs ready access to cash. Amounts withdrawn from the
Contract may result in withdrawal charges, taxes, and tax
penalties. Withdrawal charges may apply for the first 5
years following a Purchase Payment. Withdrawal charges will reduce the value of your Contract
if you withdraw money during that time period.
Withdrawals could significantly reduce the value of your
Contract, the death benefit, and other Contract benefits.
The reduction may be more than the amount withdrawn. The
benefits of tax deferral and living benefit protection also mean the Contract is more beneficial to investors with a long time horizon. |

Other
Information –
Distributor | |||
| Should I
Exchange My
Contract? |
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, and any fees or penalties to terminate the existing contract, that it is better for
you to purchase the new contract rather than continue to own your
existing contract. |
