Premium Notes

The minimum premium payment is $25,000. We require prior approval for a premium payment of less than $25,000 or more than $1,500,000 for ages 75 and younger and $1,000,000 for ages 76 and older at the time of application (which includes the single premium payment under the Contract together with any premium payments under other contracts with the same Owner or Annuitant). Additional premium payments are not permitted under the Contract.

The free withdrawal amount is equal to 10% of the Contract Value on the prior contract anniversary each year and is not cumulative.
