IMPORTANT NOTICE: IT IS POSSIBLE THAT COVERAGE WILL EXPIRE WHERE EITHER NO
PREMIUMS ARE PAID FOLLOWING THE INITIAL PREMIUM, OR SUBSEQUENT PREMIUMS ARE
INSUFFICIENT TO CONTINUE COVERAGE. THE PERIOD FOR WHICH THE POLICY AND COVERAGE
WILL CONTINUE IN FORCE WILL DEPEND ON: (1) THE AMOUNT, TIMING, AND FREQUENCY OF
PREMIUM PAYMENTS; (2) CHANGES IN THE FACE AMOUNT AND THE DEATH BENEFIT OPTION;
(3) CHANGE IN INTEREST RATES CREDITED TO THE FIXED ACCOUNT AND IN THE INVESTMENT
PERFORMANCE OF THE SUB-ACCOUNTS; (4) CHANGES IN THE MONTHLY COST OF INSURANCE
DEDUCTIONS FROM THE ACCUMULATION VALUE OF THIS POLICY AND ANY BENEFITS PROVIDED
BY RIDERS TO THIS POLICY; AND (5) LOAN AND PARTIAL WITHDRAWAL ACTIVITY.

ADDITIONAL AMOUNTS ARE NOT GUARANTEED AND WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO CHANGE THE AMOUNT
OF INTEREST CREDITED TO THE POLICY AND THE AMOUNT OF COST OF INSURANCE OR OTHER
EXPENSE CHARGES DEDUCTED UNDER THE POLICY WHICH MAY REQUIRE MORE PREMIUM TO BE
PAID THAN WAS ILLUSTRATED OR THE CASH VALUES MAY BE LESS THAN THOSE ILLUSTRATED.
