SPECIAL TERMS

The following terms may appear in your prospectus and are defined below:

Accelerated Benefit—A portion of the death benefit paid when eligibility requirements are met and/or certified, or upon the occurrence of one or more qualifying events, as described in the Accelerated Benefits Rider.

Accumulation Value (Total Account Value)—An amount equal to the sum of the Fixed Account Value, the Separate Account Value, and the Loan Account Value.

Attained Age—An Insured’s Issue Age (shown in the Policy Specifications) plus the number of completed Policy Years.

Beneficiary—The person designated to receive the Death Benefit Proceeds.

Cash Value Accumulation Test—A provision of the Code that requires that the death benefit be sufficient to prevent the Accumulation Value from ever exceeding the net single Premium required to fund the future benefits under the Policy.

Death Benefit Proceeds—The amount payable to the Beneficiary upon the death of the Insured. Loans, loan interest, Partial Surrenders, and overdue charges, if any, are deducted prior to payment of the Death Benefit Proceeds. Riders may impact the amount payable as Death Benefit Proceeds in your Policy.

Debt—The sum of all outstanding loans and accrued interest. May also be referred to as Indebtedness in your Policy.

Fixed Account—A part of our General Account to which we credit a guaranteed minimum interest rate. The account may be available as an allocation option under the Policy by the terms of the Policy or Riders. We may impose restrictions on the use of the Fixed Account.

Fixed Account Value—An amount equal to the value of amounts allocated or transferred to the Fixed Account,

plus interest credited, and less any deductions including Partial Surrenders.

Good Order—The actual receipt of the requested transaction in writing (or other form subject to our consent) along with all information and supporting legal documentation necessary to effect the transaction.

Grace Period—The period during which you may make Premium Payments (or repay Debt) to prevent Policy Lapse. That period is the later of (a) 31 days after the Grace Notice was mailed, and (b) 61 days after the Monthly Anniversary Day on which the Policy enters the Grace Period.

Loan Account (Loan Collateral Account)—The account in which policy Debt accrues once it is transferred out of the Sub-Accounts and/or the Fixed Account. The Loan Account is part of our General Account.

Loan Account Value—An amount equal to any outstanding Policy Loans, including any interest charged on the loans. This amount is held in the Company's General Account.

Modified Endowment Contract (MEC)—A life insurance policy that meets the requirements of Section 7702 and fails the “7-Pay Test” of 7702A of the Code. If the policy is a MEC, withdrawals and loans from your Policy will be treated first as income and then as a recovery of Premium Payments.

Monthly Anniversary Day—The Policy Date and the same day of each month thereafter. If the day that would otherwise be a Monthly Anniversary Day is non-existent for that month, or is not a Valuation Day, then the Monthly Anniversary Day is the next Valuation Day. The Monthly Deductions are made on the Monthly Anniversary Day.

Monthly Deduction—The amount of the monthly charges for the Cost of Insurance Charge, the Administrative Fee, and charges for riders to your Policy.

Policy Date—The date (shown on the Policy Specification pages) on which life insurance begins if the necessary Premium has been paid.

Policy Lapse—The day on which coverage under the Policy ends as described in the Grace Period.

Policy Loan—The amount you have borrowed against the Surrender Value of your Policy.

Overview of the Policy

What is the purpose of the Policy?

Lincoln VULONE Focus is a flexible premium variable life insurance policy. Its primary purpose is to provide Policy Owners with death benefit protection. In exchange for your Premium Payments, upon the death of the Insured, we will pay the Beneficiary a death benefit. For Policy Owners who need death benefit protection, the Policy can also be a helpful financial tool for financial and investment planning.

The Policy may not be appropriate if you do not have a long-term investment time horizon. Although Policy Owners have access to their money at any time, it is not intended for people who may need to make frequent withdrawals or access their money within a short time frame, as such withdrawals can reduce the level of death benefit protection.

When do I have to pay Premiums and how do they get invested?

After the initial minimum Premium Payment is made, there is no minimum Premium required except to keep the Policy in force. You may generally select and vary the frequency and the amount of any Premium Payments up to the Insured’s Attained Age of 121.

After we deduct the Premium Load from your Premium Payment, we allocate your Net Premium Payment at your direction among the Policy’s Sub-Account(s) and/or Fixed Account, (if available). Please see Principal Risks of Investing in the Policy in the prospectus for more information. For monies allocated to the Sub-Account, we use your Premium Payments to purchase shares of funds that follow investment objectives similar to the investment objectives of the corresponding Sub-Account. We refer to these funds as “Underlying Funds,” and they are collectively known as the Elite Series. More information about the Underlying Funds is provided in an Appendix. Please see Appendix A: Funds Available Under the Policy. Comprehensive information on the funds may be found in the funds’ prospectuses which are available online at www.lfg.com/VULprospectus. You can also obtain this information at no cost by calling 1-800-487-1485 or by sending an email request to CustServSupportTeam@lfg.com.

Although Premium Payments are not required, from time to time, there may be insufficient value to cover the Policy’s Monthly Deductions. If this happens, a Premium Payment will be needed in order to ensure the Policy’s Surrender Value is sufficient to pay the Monthly Deductions. If a Premium Payment is not made, the Policy will lapse.

What are the primary features and options that the Policy Offers?

Death Benefit Protection. Upon the death of the Insured, we will pay your designated Beneficiary a death benefit while this Policy remains in force. See the Death Benefit section of this prospectus for more information.

Access to Policy Values through Surrenders and Withdrawals. You may request a Full Surrender of your Policy, and we will pay you its Surrender Value. You may also request a Partial Surrender, which is a portion of the Surrender Value. You may incur a Surrender Charge if you request a Full Surrender or request a Partial Surrender.

Loans. You may take a loan on the Policy, which is subject to interest. See the Policy Loan section of this prospectus for more information.

Transfers. Generally, you may transfer funds among the Sub-Account(s) made available to you and the Fixed Account (if available). Currently, the Fixed Account is only available as an account for Dollar Cost Averaging and acceleration of the Long-Term Care Rider. We also offer automated transfer programs: Dollar Cost Averaging and Automatic Rebalancing. You may incur an additional fee for transfers in excess of 24 transfers in any policy year.

Tax Treatment. Variable life insurance policies have significant tax advantages under current tax law. Policy values accumulate on a tax-deferred basis until withdrawn, and transfers from one Sub-Account to another or to the Fixed

Account generate no current taxable gain or loss. There may be adverse tax consequences (i.e. a 10% penalty) in the event of a Surrender or Partial Surrender if the Owner is under the age of 59½.

Additional Benefits. There are several additional benefits you may add to your Policy by way of riders, including benefits that accelerate the payment of your death benefit under certain circumstances or help manage the risk of Policy Lapse. For example, with respect to Policy Lapse, the Policy offers (a) the No-Lapse Enhancement Rider which is automatically issued with your Policy and may prevent a Policy from Lapsing where the Surrender Value under the Policy is insufficient to cover the Monthly Deductions if the requirements of the rider, including requirements as to timing and amount of Premium Payments, are met and (b) the Premium Reserve Rider which is automatically issued with your Policy (in an inactive status until Premium is allocated to it) and allows you to pay Premiums in addition to those you plan to pay for the base Policy, and to have such amounts accumulate in the same manner as if they had been allocated to your Policy but without being subject to all charges and expenses of your Policy. An additional charge may apply if you elect a rider. The riders available with this Policy are listed in the Riders section of this prospectus.

Standard DEATH BENEFITS

The “Death Benefit Proceeds” is the amount payable to the Beneficiary upon the death of the Insured. Loans, loan interest, Partial Surrenders, and overdue charges (such as Monthly Deductions), if any, are deducted from the Death Benefit Proceeds prior to payment. We will pay interest on any Death Benefit Proceeds payable only as required by applicable law. Riders, including the No-Lapse Enhancement Rider and the Premium Reserve Rider, may impact the amount payable as Death Benefit Proceeds in your Policy. The Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit that you select under the provisions of the No-Lapse Enhancement Rider will only affect the Death Benefit Proceeds while the rider’s No-Lapse Provision is maintaining the Policy in force. The annual statement you receive will show whether or not the No-Lapse Provision is maintaining your Policy in force. As discussed in more detail in the “Riders” section of this prospectus, the No-Lapse Enhancement Rider may provide a death benefit which differs from that paid under the Policy. The Premium Reserve Rider Accumulation Value, if any, less any Debt under the Premium Reserve Rider, will be added to the Policy's Death Benefit Proceeds. If the Policy's death benefit is paid pursuant to the terms of the No-Lapse Enhancement Rider, the Premium Reserve Rider Accumulation Value, if any, less any Debt under the Premium Reserve Rider, will be added to the death benefit payable under the terms of that rider.

Death Benefit Proceeds

The Death Benefit Proceeds payable upon the death of the Insured will be the greater of:

the Specified Amount on the date of the Insured’s death, plus any amount payable upon death from Riders or benefits, less any Debt and Partial Surrenders processed after the Insured’s date of death; or

an amount equal to the Accumulation Value on the date of the Insured’s death, multiplied by the applicable percentage shown in the Corridor Percentages Table in the Policy Specifications, plus any amount payable upon death from Riders or benefits, less any Debt and Partial Surrenders processed after the Insured’s date of death. (Please note that the investment performance of the Sub-Accounts you have chosen will impact the Accumulation Value and therefore may affect the amount of Death Benefit Proceeds payable.)

Death Benefit Qualification Test

You will have the opportunity to choose between the two death benefit qualification tests defined in Section 7702 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended (“Code”), the “Cash Value Accumulation Test” and the “Guideline Premium Test”. If you do not choose a death benefit qualification test at that time, you will be deemed to have chosen the Guideline Premium Test. Once your Policy has been issued and is in force, the death benefit qualification test cannot be changed.

The Guideline Premium Test calculates the maximum amount of Premium that may be paid to provide the desired amount of insurance for an Insured of a particular age. Because payment of a Premium amount in excess of this amount will disqualify the Policy as life insurance, we will return to you any amount of such excess. The test also applies a prescribed percentage factor, to determine a minimum ratio of death benefit to Accumulation Value. A table of the applicable percentage factors will be included as a part of the Policy Specifications when you receive your Policy.

The Cash Value Accumulation Test requires that the death benefit be sufficient to prevent the Accumulation Value from ever exceeding the “Net Single Premium” required to fund the future benefits under the Policy. (The “Net Single Premium” is calculated in accordance with Section 7702 of the Code and is based on the Insured’s age, risk classification and gender.) At any time the Accumulation Value is greater than the Net Single Premium for the proposed death benefit, the death benefit will be automatically increased by multiplying the Accumulation Value by a percentage that is defined as $1,000 divided by the Net Single Premium. A table of the applicable percentage factors will be included as a part of the Policy Specifications when you receive your Policy.

The tests differ as follows:

(1)

The Guideline Premium Test expressly limits the amount of Premium that you can pay into your Policy while the Cash Value Accumulation Test does not.

(2)

The factors that determine the minimum death benefit relative to the Policy’s Accumulation Value are different and required increases in the minimum death benefit due to growth in Accumulation Value will generally be greater under the Cash Value Accumulation Test.

(3)

If you wish to pay more Premium than is permitted under the Guideline Premium Test, for example to target a funding objective, you should consider the Cash Value Accumulation Test, because it generally permits the payment of higher amounts of Premium. Please note that payment of higher Premiums could also cause your Policy to be deemed a MEC (see Tax Issues, sub-section Policies That Are MEC's in your prospectus).

(4)

If your primary objective is to maximize the potential for growth in Accumulation Value, or to conserve Accumulation Value, generally the Guideline Premium Test will better serve this objective.

(5)

While application of either test may require an increase in death benefit, any increase in the Cost of Insurance Charges that arises as a result of the increase in the Policy’s Net Amount at Risk will generally be less under the Guideline Premium Test than under the Cash Value Accumulation Test. This is because the required adjustment to the death benefit under the Guideline Premium Test is lower than that which would result under the Cash Value Accumulation Test.

You should consult with a qualified tax advisor before choosing the death benefits qualification test.

Please ask your registered representative for illustrations which demonstrate the impact of selection of each test on the particular policy, including any riders, which you are considering.

Payment of Death Benefit Proceeds

Proof of death should be furnished to us at our Administrative Office as soon as possible after the death of the Insured. This notification must include a certified copy of an official death certificate, a certified copy of a decree of a court of competent jurisdiction as to the finding of death, or any other proof satisfactory to us.

After receipt at our Administrative Office of proof of death of the Insured and any other necessary claims requirements, the Death Benefit Proceeds will ordinarily be paid within seven days. The proceeds will be paid in a lump sum or in accordance with any settlement option selected by the Owner or the Beneficiary. Payment of the Death Benefit Proceeds may be delayed if your Policy is contested or if Separate Account Values cannot be determined.

Payment of Interest on Death Benefit Proceeds

We will pay interest on any Death Benefit Proceeds payable. Interest shall accrue and will be paid from the date of the Insured’s death to the date when Death Benefit Proceeds are paid at a rate equal to the rate applied to Death Benefit Proceeds left on deposit with us.

Additionally, we will pay interest on the Death Benefit Proceeds at an annual rate of ten percent (10.00%) beginning with the date that is 31 days from the latest of a., b., or c. to the date when Death Benefit Proceeds are paid, where:

is the date of our receipt of due proof of death of the Insured;

is the date we receive sufficient information to determine our liability, the extent of our liability, and the appropriate payee legally entitled to the Death Benefit Proceeds; and

is the date the legal impediments to payment of Death Benefit Proceeds that depend on the action of parties other than us are resolved and sufficient evidence of the same is provided to us.

Legal impediments to payment shall include, but are not limited to (a) the establishment of guardianships and conservatorships; (b) the appointment and qualification of trustees, executors and administrators; and (c) the submission of information required to satisfy any state or federal reporting requirements.

Please see your Policy for state variations.

Every state has unclaimed property laws which generally declare property, including monies owed (such as death benefits) to be abandoned if unclaimed or uncashed after a period (typically three to five years) from the date the property is intended to be delivered or date the death benefit is due and payable. For example, if the payment of a death benefit has been triggered and, if after a thorough search, we are still unable to locate the Beneficiary of the death benefit, or the Beneficiary does not come forward to claim the death benefit in a timely manner, the death benefit will be paid to the abandoned property division or unclaimed property office of the state in which the Beneficiary or the Owner last resided, as shown on our books and records, or to our state of domicile. This “escheatment” is revocable, however, and the state is obligated to pay the death benefit (without interest) if your Beneficiary steps forward to claim it with the proper documentation. To prevent such escheatment, it is important that you contact us and update your Beneficiary designations, including addresses, if and as they change.

Optional	•Automatically issued at Policy purchase in states where it is available. •Premiums allocated to the Premium Reserve Rider do not increase the Policy’s Accumulation Value and, therefore, will not decrease the Net Amount at Risk. •If the entire Premium Reserve is transferred to prevent a lapse, the rider will terminate, and no future Premium Payments to the rider are permitted.
Waiver of Monthly Deduction Rider	Waives monthly deductions during periods of total disability.	Optional	•Available at Policy purchase only. •The disability must meet conditions and commence prior to the Policy Anniversary nearest the Insured’s 65th birthday to qualify for payments.
Dollar Cost Averaging	An investment strategy that divides up the total amount to be invested in one or more sub accounts over a specified period of time. This averages the purchase cost of the assets over time and helps to reduce the potential impact of market volatility.	Optional	•Available 1st policy year only, at Policy purchase. •Cannot move money to Fixed Account or money market Sub-Account. •Automatically moves to Automatic Rebalancing after 1st Policy Anniversary.
Automatic Rebalancing	To periodically restore sub account exposure to a pre- determined level selected by the policyholder to reduce potential risk of exposure to market volatility.	Optional	•Is only available if there is more than one Sub- Account. •Occurs on a quarterly, semi-annual, or annual basis, as elected by you. •Must be maintained on product to keep No-Lapse Enhancement rider (see Riders). •Can be terminated; however will terminate No-Lapse Enhancement rider (see Riders).

Buying the Policy

Premiums

You may select and vary the frequency and the amount of Premium Payments and the allocation of Net Premium Payments. After the initial Premium Payment is made there is no minimum Premium required, except to keep the Policy in force. Premium Payments may be required from time to time in order to insure that the Surrender Value of the Policy is sufficient to pay the Monthly Deductions. Otherwise, the Policy will lapse. (See the “Lapse and Reinstatement” section of this prospectus). Premiums may be paid any time before the Insured attains age 121, subject to our right to limit the amount or frequency of additional Premium Payments. (See the “Planned Premiums; Additional Premiums” section of this prospectus).

The initial Premium must be paid for policy coverage to be effective.

Allocation of Net Premium Payments

Your “Net Premium Payment” is the portion of a Premium Payment remaining after deduction of the Premium Load. The Net Premium Payment is available for allocation to the Sub-Account(s) made available to you and the Fixed Account (if available). Currently, the Fixed Account is only available as an account for Dollar Cost Averaging and acceleration of the Long-Term Care Rider. You must allocate all Net Premium Payments into the Sub-Account made available to you. Please refer to your Policy Specifications.

You first designate the allocation of Net Premium Payments among the Sub-Account(s) made available to you and Fixed Account (if available), on a form provided by us for that purpose. Net Premium Payments will be allocated on the same basis as the initial Net Premium Payment unless we are instructed otherwise, in writing. You may change the allocation of Net Premium Payments among the Sub-Accounts made available to you and Fixed Account (if available) at any time.

The amount of Net Premium Payments allocated to the Sub-Account(s) made available to you and Fixed Account (if available), must be in whole percentages and must total 100%. We credit Net Premium Payments to your Policy as of the end of the “Valuation Period” in which it is received in Good Order at our Administrative Office. Premium Payments received from you or your broker-dealer in Good Order at our Administrative Office prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange (normally 4:00 p.m., Eastern time on a business day), will be processed using the accumulation unit value computed on that Valuation Date. Premium Payments received in Good Order after market close will be processed using the accumulation unit value computed on the next Valuation Date. Premium Payments submitted to your registered representative will generally not be processed by us until they are received from your representative’s broker-dealer. Premium Payments placed with your broker-dealer after market close will be processed using the accumulation unit value computed on the next Valuation Date. There may be circumstances under which the New York Stock Exchange may close early (prior to 4:00 p.m., Eastern time). In such instances, Premium Payments received after such early market close will be processed using the accumulation unit value computed on the next Valuation Date.

The Valuation Period is the time between “Valuation Days”. A Valuation Day is every day on which the New York Stock Exchange is open and trading is unrestricted. Your policy values are calculated on every Valuation Day.

Planned Premiums; Additional Premiums

Planned Premiums are the amount of periodic Premium (as shown in the Policy Specifications) you choose to pay the Company on a scheduled basis. This is the amount for which we send a Premium reminder notice. We reserve the right to stop sending Premium reminder notices if no Premium Payment has been made within 2 Policy Years. Premium Payments may be billed annually, semi-annually, or quarterly. You may arrange for monthly pre-authorized automatic Premium Payments at any time.

In addition to any Planned Premium, you may make additional Premium Payments. These additional payments must be sent directly to our Administrative Office, and will be credited when received by us.

Unless you specifically direct otherwise, any payment received (other than any Premium Payment necessary to prevent, or cure, Policy Lapse) will be applied as Premium and will not repay any outstanding loans. There is no Premium Load on any payment which you specifically direct as repayment of an outstanding loan.

You may increase Planned Premiums, or pay additional Premiums, subject to certain limitations. We reserve the right to limit the amount or frequency of additional Premium Payments. You may decrease Planned Premiums. However, doing so will impact your policy values and may impact how long your Policy remains in force.

We may require evidence of insurability if any payment of additional Premium (including Planned Premium) would increase the difference between the death benefit and the Accumulation Value. If we are unwilling to accept the risk, your increase in Premium will be refunded without interest.

We may decline any additional Premium (including Planned Premium) or a portion of a Premium that would cause total Premium Payments to exceed the limit for life insurance under federal tax laws. Our test for whether or not your Policy exceeds the limit is referred to as the Guideline Premium Test or, if you so elected at the time you applied for the Policy, the Cash Value Accumulation Test. The excess amount of Premium will be returned to you. We may accept alternate instructions from you to prevent your Policy from becoming a MEC. Refer to the section headed “Tax Issues” for more information.

How your policy can lapse

If at any time:

the Surrender Value of the Policy is insufficient to pay the Monthly Deduction, and

the provisions of the No-Lapse Enhancement Rider are not preventing termination of the Policy, then all coverage will terminate. This is referred to as “Policy Lapse”.

The Surrender Value may be insufficient:

because it has been exhausted by earlier deductions;

as a result of poor investment performance;

due to Partial Surrenders;

due to Debt for Policy Loans; or

because of a combination of any of these factors.

If we have not received your Premium Payment (or payment of Debt on Policy Loans) necessary so that the Surrender Value of your Policy is sufficient to pay the Monthly Deduction amount on a Monthly Anniversary Day, we will send a Grace Notice to you, or any assignee of record. The Grace Notice will state the amount of the Premium Payment (or payment of Debt on Policy Loans) that must be paid to avoid termination of your Policy.

If the amount stated in the Grace Notice is not paid to us within the Grace Period and any Premium Reserve Accumulation Value automatically transferred at the end of the Grace Period is also insufficient to keep the Policy in force, then the Policy will terminate. The Grace Period is the later of (a) 31 days after the Grace Notice was mailed, and (b) 61 days after the Monthly Anniversary Day on which the Monthly Deduction could not be paid. If the Insured dies during the Grace Period, we will deduct any charges due to us from any death benefit that may be payable under the terms of the Policy.

Reinstatement of a Lapsed Policy

If your Policy has lapsed and the Insured has not died since lapse, you may reinstate your Policy within five years of the Policy Lapse date, provided:

it has not been surrendered;

there is an application for reinstatement in writing;

satisfactory evidence of insurability is furnished to us and we agree to accept the risk for the Insured;

we receive a payment sufficient to keep your Policy and any reinstated riders in force for at least two months after the date of reinstatement; and

any loan interest accrued during the Grace Period is paid and any remaining Debt is either paid or reinstated.

The reinstated Policy will be effective as of the Monthly Anniversary Day on or next following the date on which we approve your application for reinstatement. Surrender Charges will be based on the duration from the original Policy Date as though the Policy never lapsed. Your Accumulation Value at reinstatement will be the Net Premium Payment then made less all Monthly Deductions due. If a Policy Loan is being reinstated, the Policy's Accumulation Value at reinstatement will be the Accumulation Value on the date the Policy Lapsed plus the Net Premium Payment made less all Monthly Deductions due.

Making withdrawals: accessing the money in your policy

You may surrender your Policy at any time by submitting a written request for surrender. If you surrender your Policy, all coverage will automatically terminate and may not be reinstated. Consult your tax advisor to understand tax consequences of any surrender you are considering.

The Surrender Value of your Policy is the amount you can receive by surrendering the Policy. The Surrender Value is:

(i) the Policy’s Accumulation Value less any Debt, less any applicable Surrender Charge, plus

(ii) the Premium Reserve Rider Accumulation Value less any Debt, minus

(iii) any Surrender Charge not covered by the Policy's Accumulation Value (which is not deducted in (i) above).

Policy Debt includes loans under the Policy and Premium Reserve Rider Debt includes loans under the Premium Reserve Rider.

If we receive a surrender or Partial Surrender request in Good Order at our Administrative Office before the close of the New York Stock Exchange (normally 4:00 p.m., Eastern time on a business day), we will process the request using the accumulation unit value computed on that Valuation Date. If we receive a surrender or Partial Surrender request in our Administrative Office after market close, we will process the request using the accumulation unit value computed on the next Valuation Date. There may be circumstances under which the New York Stock Exchange may close early (prior to 4:00 p.m., Eastern time). In such circumstances, surrenders or Partial Surrenders requested after such early market close will be processed using the accumulation unit value computed on the next Valuation Date.

Any surrender results in a withdrawal of values from the Sub-Accounts made available to you and Fixed Account (if available) and from the Premium Reserve Rider Sub-Accounts and Premium Reserve Rider Fixed Account that have values allocated to them. Any surrender from a Sub-Account or from a Premium Reserve Rider Sub-Account will result in the cancellation of Variable Accumulation Units. The cancellation of such units will be based on the Variable Accumulation Unit Value determined at the close of the Valuation Period during which the surrender is effective. Surrender proceeds will generally be paid within seven days of our receipt of your request.

Partial Surrender

You may make a Partial Surrender, withdrawing a portion of your policy values. You must request a Partial Surrender in writing. The amount of any Partial Surrender may not exceed 90% of the Policy's Surrender Value as of the date of your request for a Partial Surrender. We may limit Partial Surrenders to the extent necessary to meet the federal tax law requirements. Each Partial Surrender must be at least $500. Partial Surrenders are subject to

other limitations as described below. If you wish to make a surrender in excess of 90% of the Surrender Value of your Policy, you must specifically request a Full Surrender of your Policy. Charges for Full Surrenders will apply (see section headed “Surrender Charges” for a discussion of Surrender Charges). Your Policy’s Surrender Value equals the Policy’s Accumulation Value less any Debt, less any applicable Surrender Charges. Policy Loans are Debt under your Policy and will reduce the Surrender Value available to you.

As of the end of the Valuation Day on which there is a Partial Surrender, the Accumulation Value will be reduced by the amount of the Partial Surrender plus any Partial Surrender Fee shown in the Policy Specifications. The amount of the Partial Surrender will be withdrawn first from the Premium Reserve Rider Sub-Accounts and Premium Reserve Rider Fixed Account in proportion to their values, and when such values are reduced to zero then from the Sub-Accounts made available to you and Fixed Account (if available) in proportion to their values. (See discussion in section headed “Riders—Premium Reserve Rider” for further details.)

A Partial Surrender will reduce the Specified Amount by the greater of:

a. zero; or
b. an amount equal to the amount of the Partial Surrender minus the result of [(1) minus (2)] divided by (3) where:

(1) is an amount equal to the Accumulation Value on the Valuation Day immediately prior to the Partial Surrender multiplied by the applicable percentage shown in the Corridor Percentages Table in the Policy Specifications;
(2) is the Specified Amount immediately prior to the Partial Surrender; and
(3) is the applicable percentage shown in the Corridor Percentages Table in the Policy Specifications.

Partial Surrenders are deducted when the No-Lapse Value and the Reset Account Value of the No-Lapse Enhancement Rider are calculated. (See discussion in section headed “Riders – No-Lapse Enhancement Rider” for a detailed discussion of how benefits of this rider may be impacted by reductions of these values.)

Partial Surrender proceeds will generally be paid within seven days of our receipt of your request.

Additional information about fees

The following tables describe the fees and expenses that you will pay when buying, owning, and surrendering or making withdrawals from the Policy. Please refer to your Policy Specifications for information about specific fees you will pay each year based on the options you have elected.

We use an average of 3% to account for state and federal tax obligations.

During the life of the Policy, you may request one or more Partial Surrenders, each of which may not exceed 90% of your Policy's Surrender Value as of the date of your request. If you wish to surrender more than 90% of your Policy's Surrender Value, you must request a Full Surrender of your Policy, which is subject to the Surrender Charge reflected in the table above.

Although deducted annually, interest accrues daily. When you request a Policy Loan, amounts equal to the amount of the loan you request are withdrawn from the Sub-Accounts made available to you and the Fixed Account (if available) in proportion to their respective values. Such amount is transferred to the Loan Account, which is part of the Company’s General Account. Amounts in the Loan Account are credited interest at an effective annual rate guaranteed not to be less than XX% in Policy Years XX and XX% in Policy Years XX.

Under the Basic Accelerated Benefits Riders, payments of benefits are considered as liens and are charged interest as shown. Variable interest shall be at a rate not to exceed higher of (i) published monthly average of Moody’s Corporate Bond Yield Average - Monthly Average Corporates (determined 30 days in advance of beginning of Policy Year) and (ii) the rate used to compute the Accumulation Value of the Fixed Account plus 1%. Although deducted annually, interest accrues daily. When you request an Accelerated Benefit, amounts equal to the amount of the Accelerated Benefit you request are withdrawn from the Sub-Accounts made available to you and the Fixed Account (if available) in proportion to their respective values. Such amount is transferred to the Loan Account, which is part of the Company’s General Account. Amounts in the Loan Account are credited interest at an effective annual rate guaranteed not to be less than XX% in Policy Years XX and XX% in Policy Years XX.

There are two versions of this rider. The payment of a benefit under either version of the rider is considered a loan against the Policy.

Allocations of Premium Payments to the rider are at your discretion. Allocations of Premium Payments to the rider are subject to the charge shown in the Periodic Charges Other than Annual Underlying Fund Fees and Operating Expenses table and are not subject to the “Maximum Sales Charge Imposed on Premiums Paid” shown in the Transaction Fees table. This charge is called the Premium Reserve Rider Premium Load. Rider Accumulation Value allocated to the Separate Account is subject to the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge (which does not exceed XX% for Policy Year XX and XX% in Policy Years XX).

Individuals with higher mortality risk than standard issue individuals can be charged from 125% to 200% of the standard rate. However, under no circumstances would the charge be higher than the maximum amount shown.

These charges and costs vary based on individual characteristics of the Insured. The charges and costs shown in the tables may not be representative of the charges and costs that a particular Owner will pay. You may obtain more information about the particular charges, cost of insurance, and the cost of certain riders that would apply to you by requesting a personalized policy illustration from your registered representative.

The next table shows the minimum and maximum total operating expenses charged by the Underlying Funds that you may pay periodically during the time that you own the Policy.
