Risks Associated
with Investment
Options
An investment in the Policy is subject to the risk of poor investment
performance and can vary depending on the performance of the
investment options available under the Policy (e.g., the Funds). Each
investment option, including the Fixed Account, will have its own
unique risks, and you should review these investment options before
making an investment decision.
 
There is no guarantee that a money market fund will be able to maintain
a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share. During extended periods of
low interest rates, the yield of an Investment Option that invests in a
money market fund may become extremely low and possibly negative. It
is therefore possible that your Contract Value may decline even when
you select a money market fund for investment.

Company Risks
An investment in the Policy is subject to the risks related to the
Company, including that any obligations (including obligations related to
amounts invested in the Fixed Account), guarantees or benefits are
subject to the Company's claims-paying ability. More information about
the Company, including its financial strength ratings, is available upon
request by calling (888) 243-1968.

Company, Separate

Company
Contract Lapse
In general, in any month that your Policy's Cash Surrender Value is not
large enough to cover the Monthly Deduction Amount, your Policy will
be in default, and may lapse. Your Policy's Cash Surrender Value can be
impacted by poor investment performance of the Funds you select. Your
Policy may also lapse if Policy loans plus accrued interest exceed the
Policy's Contract Value. Additionally, insufficient Premium Payments,
withdrawals and Policy charges (including increases in those charges)
could cause the Policy to lapse and you will no longer have insurance
coverage. If your Policy has lapsed, you may reinstate it within three
years from the date the last Monthly Deduction Amount was paid.
Reinstatement in all cases requires payment of certain charges described
in the Policy and usually requires evidence of insurability that is
satisfactory to us. A Death Benefit will not be paid if the Policy has
lapsed.
Lapse and
Reinstatement
RESTRICTIONS
Investments
Availability of Funds. We reserve the right to close or substitute a Fund or
limit its availability to subsequent Premium Payments and/or transfers of
Contract Value.
Transfers. We reserve the right to impose a charge of $10 on transfers in
excess of six per year and to limit transfers in circumstances of frequent
or large transfers. We may also limit the frequency and amount of
transfers from the Fixed Account to the Investment Options and from the
Investment Options to the Fixed Account.

Optional Benefits
Various optional benefits may be available in the form of a Rider to your
Policy. Not all of these Riders may be available to you. In general,
supplemental insurance benefits may be (i) available only to insureds
within certain age ranges and/or who meet certain criteria (e.g., terminal
illness); (ii) subject to minimum and/or maximum specified amounts; or
(iii) subject to certain termination conditions. We may stop offering an
optional benefit at any time.
Other Benefits

Policy
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. Please note that there is no additional tax benefit to you if the
Policy is purchased through a tax-qualified plan. Withdrawals will be
subject to ordinary income tax and may be subject to tax penalties.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
Investment
Professional
Compensation
All firms selling the Policy receive commissions. The portion of the
commission payments that selling firms pass on to their sales
representatives is determined in accordance with their internal
compensation programs. A selling firm, or a sales representative of a
selling firm, may receive different compensation for selling one product
over another and may have a financial incentive to offer or recommend
the Policy over another investment. Apart from the payment of
commissions, selling firms may receive additional compensation,
including marketing allowances, introduction fees, persistency
payments, preferred status fees and industry conference fees.
Distribution &
Compensation
Exchanges
In general, sales representatives may have a financial incentive to offer
you a new insurance policy in place of the Policy you already own. You
should exchange your Policy only 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.
