PROSPECTUS
Charges for Early
Withdrawals
A surrender charge will be deducted from the cash value if the
Policy is surrendered or terminated after a grace period during the
first fifteen (15) Policy years. A surrender charge will also be
deducted upon surrender or termination of a Policy during the first
fifteen (15) Policy years after an increase in the specified face
amount of a Policy. In each case, the amount of the surrender
charge is based on a charge per thousand dollars of specified face
amount of the Policy .
The maximum surrender charge is 4% of the specified face amount
or any increase in the specified face amount. For example, the
maximum surrender charge during the first year after issue (or a
specified face amount increase), assuming an initial face amount (or
subsequent specified face amount increase) of $100,000, is $4,000.
