IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING REPLACEMENT OR CHANGE OF LIFE INSURANCE POLICIES OR ANNUITY CONTRACTS THIS NOTICE IS FOR YOUR BENEFIT AND REQUIRED BY NEW YORK STATE REGULATION NO. 60 You are contemplating the purchase of a life insurance policy or an annuity contract in connection with the surrender, lapse or change of existing life insurance policies or annuity contracts. We are required to give you this notice. Your decision could be a good one — or a mistake — so make sure you understand the facts. You should: 1. Ask the company or agent from whom you bought your existing life insurance policies or annuity contracts to review with you the transaction. You may be able to effect the changes you desire more advantageously with them. 2. Consult your tax adviser. There may be unfavorable tax implications associated with the contemplated changes to your existing life insurance policies or annuity contracts. As a general rule, it is often not advantageous to drop or change existing coverage in favor of new coverage, whether issued by the same or a different insurance company. Some of the reasons it may be disadvantageous are: 1. The amount of the annual premium under an existing life insurance policy may be lower than that called for by a new life insurance policy having the same or similar benefits. Any replacement of the same type of policy will normally be at a higher premium rate based upon the insured’s then attained age. 2. Since the initial costs of a life insurance policy are charged against the cash value increases in the earlier life insurance policy years, the replacement of an old life insurance policy by a new one results in the policyholder sustaining the burden of these costs twice. Annuity contracts usually contain provision for surrender charges, therefore a replacement involving annuity contracts may result in the imposition of surrender charges. 3. The incontestable and suicide clauses begin anew in a new life insurance policy. This could result in a claim being denied under the new life insurance policy that would have been paid under the life insurance policy that was replaced. 4. An existing life insurance policy or annuity contract often has more favorable provisions than a new life insurance policy or annuity contract in areas such as loan interest rate, settlement options, disability benefits and tax treatment. 5. There may have been changes in your health since the purchase of the existing coverage. 6. The insurance company with which you have existing coverage can often make a desired change on terms that would be more favorable than if you replaced existing coverage with new coverage. You have the right, within 60 days after receipt of the new life insurance policy or annuity contract, to return it to the insurer and receive an unconditional full refund of all premiums or considerations paid on it, or in the case of a variable or market value adjustment policy or contract, a payment of the cash surrender benefits provided under the policy or contract, plus the amount of all fees and other charges deducted from gross considerations or imposed under the —Next Page Please— Signature Required
