penalties. |

performance and can vary depending on the performance of the
investment options available under the Policy (e.g., Portfolios). Each
investment option (including any Fixed Account investment option)
has its own unique risks. You should review the investment options
before making an investment decision. |

| Contract Lapse |
Your Policy may lapse if you have not paid a sufficient amount of
premiums or if the investment experience of the Portfolios is poor,
you have taken partial withdrawals, and the Cash Surrender Value
under your Policy is insufficient to cover the Monthly Deduction.
Lapse of a Policy on which there is an outstanding loan may have
adverse tax consequences (see "Principal Risks - Loan Risks"). If the
Policy lapses, no death benefit will be paid. A Policy may be reinstated if the conditions for reinstatement are met including the
payment of required premiums. |
