Suitability
 
A variable annuity is designed to achieve long-term financial objectives.  It is not suitable as a vehicle for short-term savings due to the charges applicable to the Contract.  You should not purchase this Contract if you believe you may need to surrender it during the surrender charge period.
 
Right to Examine Period and  Initial Purchase Payment Investment
Once your Variable Annuity Contract is issued and delivered to you, you have a “Free Look” period to decide if you want to keep your Contract.  Your Free Look period begins when you sign and date your Contract Delivery Receipt or if your Contract is mailed to you, the Certified Return Receipt from the Post Office.  The portion of the initial net premium allocated to the subaccounts will be invested in the Cash Management Fund subaccount for a period of time equal to the “Free Look” period as indicated on the Contract’s cover.  After the Free Look period expires, the Company will transfer the invested funds to the subaccounts you have selected.  Premium allocated to the Fixed Account will be invested in the Fixed Account upon issuance of the Contract.

Contract Disclosures
 
The subaccount selections below are consistent with the investment objectives indicated.  I understand that these subaccount selections and transfer options will be relied upon by First Investors Life in regard to all Contract Transactions.  These options may be changed after the date of this application only by providing First Investors Life with a written request and instruction to change.  There shall be no Annuity Contract unless a Contract is issued based on this Application.
