IMPORTANT INFORMATION YOU SHOULD CONSIDER ABOUT THE POLICY
Your Policy prospectus dated May 1, 2009, as supplemented, contains more information about the Policy's features, benefits, and risks in addition to what is listed below.
FEES AND EXPENSES
Location in
Prospectus
Are There Charges for Early Withdrawals?
Yes. If you withdraw (or surrender) money from your Policy during the first 12 Policy years, you will be assessed a surrender charge. The maximum surrender charge depends on when your Policy was issued but will not be greater than $42.70 per $1,000 of the Policy's initial specified amount (or increase in specified amount) for TransAccumulator II or $45.50 for TransAccumulator .
For example, if you purchased a Policy with an initial specified amount of $300,000 and were to withdraw $100,000 during the surrender charge period (and assuming that the Policy's specified amount had not been increased), the maximum surrender charge would be $4,270 for TransAccumulator II or $4,550 for TransAccumulator.
Tables of Fees and Expenses
Charges and Deductions - Surrender Penalty
Are There Transaction Charges?
Yes. In addition to surrender charges for early withdrawals, you may also be charged for other transactions. There may be front-end loads on premium payments, charges for transfers between investment options, and administrative charges for withdrawals.
We reserve the right to deduct a charge for special services, including overnight delivery and wire service fees.
Tables of Fees and Expenses
Charges and Deductions
Are There Ongoing Fees and Expenses (annual charges)?
Yes. In addition to surrender charges and transaction charges, an investment in the Policy is subject to certain ongoing fees and expenses, including fees and expenses covering the cost of insurance under the Policy and the cost of optional benefits available under the Policy, and that such fees and expenses are set based on characteristics of the insured (e.g., age, sex, and rating classification). You should view the schedule page of your Policy for rates applicable to your Policy.
These fees and expenses do not reflect any advisory fees paid to financial intermediaries from the Policy value or other assets of the Owner; if such charges were reflected, the fees and expenses would be higher.
You will also bear expenses associated with the portfolios under the Policy to which you have allocated cash value, as shown in the following table:

Is this a Short-Term Investment?
No. This Policy is not a short-term investment and is not appropriate for an investor who needs ready access to cash.
The Policy is designed to help meet long-term financial objectives by paying a death benefit to family members or other beneficiaries. The benefits of tax deferral also mean the Policy is more beneficial to investors with a long-term investment horizon. You may pay substantial charges if you take withdrawals or fully surrender the Policy during the surrender charge period.
Risks - Product not Suitable as a Short-Term Investment Vehicle
What Are the Risks Associated with Investment Choices?
  • An investment in the Policy is subject to the risk of poor investment performance. The investment performance of your Policy can vary depending on the performance of the investment options that you choose.
  • Each investment option (including the fixed account option) has its own unique risks.
  • You should review the investment options carefully before making an investment decision.

Should I Exchange My Policy?
Some investment professionals may have a financial incentive to offer you a new Policy in place of the one you already own. 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 your existing Policy.
