FEES AND EXPENSES | ||||
Charges for Early
Withdrawals |
There is a surrender fee assessed upon a withdrawal, lapse, surrender
(if such surrender is not subject to a Replacement fee). A
“surrender” is when you return your policy to
us and we pay you the policy’s net cash surrender value, if any. If a policy “lapses” it terminates without any value. The maximum
surrender charge is 1.46% of Total Face Amount. For example, if the
Total Face Amount is $100,000, the highest possible
surrender charge would be $1,463.00. |

Transaction Charges |
In addition to surrender charges (if applicable), you may also be
charged for the following transactions:
A deferred premium charge will be deducted monthly over a ten year
period beginning in the policy year following premium
payment. A transfer fee may be deducted upon transfers into or out of a variable
investment account after you have made more than 12 such
transfers in a year.
A replacement fee will be assessed upon a policy replacement or
“section 1035 exchange” (which is a type of
tax-free exchange) in the first ten policy
years.

Ongoing Fees and
Expenses (annual charges) |
In addition to surrender charges and transaction charges, you will also
be subject to certain ongoing fees and expenses, including
a cost of insurance charge, administrative charge, Base
Face Amount charge, asset-based risk charge, policy loan
costs, and supplementary benefit rider charges. Some of
these fees and expenses are based wholly or in part on the
characteristics of the insured persons (e.g., age, sex,
and underwriting classification).
You should view the “policy specifications” page of your
policy for rates applicable to your policy.

PRINCIPAL RISKS OF
INVESTING IN A
POLICY |
Not a Short- Term
Investment |
This policy is not a short-term investment and is not appropriate for
an investor who needs ready access to cash. The policy is
unsuitable as a short-term savings vehicle because of
substantial policy-level charges, including the premium
charge and the surrender charge, as well as potential
adverse tax consequences from such short-term use. |
Early Surrender or
Withdrawal Risk/Not a Short-Term Investment |
Risks Associated with
Investment Options |
An investment in this policy is subject to the risk of poor
performance and can vary depending on the performance of
the account allocation options available under the policy
(e.g., portfolios). Each such option (including the fixed
account) will have its own unique risks, and you should
review these options before making an allocation
decision. You can find the prospectuses and other
information about the portfolios at
dfinview.com/JohnHancock/TAHD/CVUL. |
Investment Risk/Risk of
Loss |
Insurance Company
Risks |
Your investment in the policy is subject to risks related to John
Hancock USA, including that the obligations (including
under the fixed account option), guarantees, or benefits
are subject to the claims-paying ability of John Hancock
USA. Information about John Hancock USA, including its
financial strength ratings, is available upon request
from your John Hancock USA representative. Our current
financial strength ratings can also be obtained by contacting the Service Office at 1-800-732-5543. |
Depositor Registrant |
RISKS | ||
Policy Lapse |
This policy will go into default if at the beginning of any policy
month the policy’s net cash surrender value would
be zero or below after deducting the monthly deductions
then due. The “net cash surrender value” is
your policy value, less any policy debt, and less any
applicable surrender charges. This can happen as a result of insufficient premium payments, poor performance of the variable or
general account options you have chosen, withdrawals, or unpaid
loans or loan interest. If a default is not cured within
a 61-day grace period, your policy will lapse without
value, and no death benefit or other benefits will be
payable. You can apply to reinstate a policy that has
gone into default, subject to conditions including payment of a specified amount of additional premiums. |
Lapse and Reinstatement |
RESTRICTIONS | ||
Investments |
There are restrictions that may limit the variable investment account
options and general account options (including the fixed
account) that you may choose, as well as limitations on
the transfer of policy value among those options. These
restrictions may include a monthly limit on the number of
transfers you may make. We may also impose additional
restrictions to discourage market timing and disruptive
trading activity. In particular, your allocation options will be affected if you elect to
take a loan or receive benefits under certain supplementary benefit
riders.
Among other things, the policy also allows us to eliminate the shares
of a portfolio or substitute shares of another new or
existing portfolio, subject to applicable legal
requirements. |

Optional Benefits |
There are restrictions and limitations relating to optional benefits,
as well as conditions under which an optional benefit may
be modified or terminated by us. For example, certain
supplementary benefit riders may be subject to
underwriting, and your election of an option may result
in restrictions upon some of the policy benefits, including
availability of investment options. |

TAXES | ||
Tax Implications |
You should consult with a tax professional to determine the tax
implications of an investment in and payments received
under the policy. There is no additional tax benefit to
you if the policy is purchased through a tax-qualified
plan. If we pay out any amount of your policy value upon
surrender or partial withdrawal, all or part of that
distribution would generally be treated as a return of the
premiums you’ve paid and not subjected to income tax, with any
portion not treated as a return of your premiums
includible in your income. Distributions also are subject
to tax penalties under some circumstances.

Tax Consequences of Owning a Policy |
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST | ||
Investment Professional
Compensation |
Some investment professionals may receive compensation for selling
the policy, including by means of commissions and revenue
sharing arrangements. These investment professionals may
have a financial incentive to offer or recommend this
policy over another investment. |
Commissions Paid to
Dealers |
Exchanges |
Some investment professionals may have a financial incentive to
offer you a new policy in place of the one you already
own, and you should only exchange your policy if you
determine, after comparing the features, fees, and risks
of both policies, that it is preferable for you to
purchase the new policy rather than continue to own the
existing policy. |
