Contract? |

a new contract in place of the one you already own. You
should only exchange a contract you already own only if you
determine, after comparing the features, fees, and risks of
both contracts, and any fees or penalties to terminate the
existing contract, that it is preferable for you to purchase the new contract rather than continue to own your existing contract. | |||
