**OVERVIEW OF THE PROTECTION VARIABLE UNIVERSAL LIFE INSURANCE POLICY** 

The following provides an overview of the Policy's primary features. Please read the full descriptions in the Prospectus, and your Policy, for more information regarding these features and other provisions of the Policy.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***1.***  ***<u>Purpose of the Policy</u>*** 

This Policy provides permanent life insurance coverage with the potential for tax-deferred cash value (Policy Value) accumulation. The Policy is offered by the Company. The Policy offers (1) life insurance protection, (2) flexible premium payments, (3) a Net Cash Surrender Value that you can access through withdrawals and loans, (4) the ability to invest in a variety of Variable Investment Options and Fixed Account Options, (5) the ability to transfer among these options tax-free, and (6) optional benefit riders. The Policy is designed to be long-term life insurance coverage. It is not suitable as a short-term investment vehicle. Please read the entire Prospectus before you invest.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***2.***  ***<u>Premiums</u>*** 

Amounts you pay to us under your Policy are called premiums or premium payments. Policy premium payments are flexible; other than the required initial minimum premium payment, you can select the time and amount of premiums you pay, within limits.

You choose in your application how often to pay planned premiums — annually, semi-annually, quarterly or monthly. You are not required to pay the planned premium as long as your Policy has sufficient value to pay Policy charges or the provisions of the No-Lapse Guarantee Rider are satisfied. See What Payments Must I Make Under the Policy? — Lapse and Reinstatement; and What are the Supplemental Riders And Benefits That Are Available? — No-Lapse Guarantee Rider in the Prospectus. Additional or unplanned premiums may be paid in any amount and at any time. A premium may not be less than the minimum shown in your Policy (generally at least $25).

Although you may have a schedule of planned premiums, ***your Policy can lapse even if you pay all of the planned premiums on time*** (unless the provisions of the No-Lapse Guarantee Rider are satisfied). This can happen because the investment performance of the Variable Investment Options you have allocated premiums or Policy Value to has been poor, because of charges we deduct, because of withdrawals you take, or because a combination of these factors has caused the Net Cash Surrender Value of your Policy to be insufficient to pay the Policy charges (including payment of interest on any loan that may be outstanding under the Policy). When a Policy lapses, it terminates and has no value, and no benefits are paid upon the death of the insured. You also lose the principal invested.

To qualify your Policy as life insurance under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), federal tax law limits the amount of premium payments you may make in relation to the amount of life insurance provided under the Policy. In addition, we can limit the amount of premium payments and/or require medical insurance underwriting and satisfactory evidence of insurability before we accept additional premiums.

Premiums are allocated among the Variable Investment Options and the available Fixed Account Options according to your instructions. The Policy Value in the Variable Investment Options will vary up or down with the investment performance of the corresponding Funds. Amounts in the Fixed Account Options are guaranteed and will earn interest declared from time to time by the Company.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***3.***  ***<u>Policy Features</u>*** 

The Policy offers a variety of important features and benefits, including the following:

**Life Insurance Benefit** 

The Policy provides life insurance on you or another individual you name. In your application for the Policy, you will tell us how much life insurance coverage you want on the life of the insured person (the "Specified Amount"). The death benefit is the greater of (a) the Specified Amount of insurance, or (b) a percentage of the Policy Value (on the date of the insured's death) equal to the minimum necessary for your Policy to qualify as life insurance under Section 7702 of the Code. The percentages are shown in the Table of Death Benefit Factors in the Policy.

Therefore, the death benefit could increase or decrease based on investment performance, but will not be less than the Specified Amount. You can decrease the Specified Amount, subject to certain conditions. While the Policy is in effect, we will pay the beneficiary the death benefit less the amount of any outstanding loan and any unpaid policy charges when the insured dies.

**Investment Options** 

The Policy allows you to allocate your Policy Value to the different Variable Investment Options which each invest in a specified mutual fund (each, a "Fund"). Your Policy Value will increase or decrease to reflect the investment performance of the Funds you select; you bear the investment risk and you can lose money invested in the Funds. ***Appendix A to this Summary Prospectus lists the Funds currently available in the Policy and includes additional information about the Funds.***

In addition to the Variable Investment Options, the Policy allows you to allocate your Policy Value to both a Traditional Fixed Account and a Short-Term Fixed Account (the "Fixed Account Options"). The Fixed Account Options are both designed to be safe investments that provide fixed returns, where the Company pays a fixed rate of interest (that it declares periodically, subject to a minimum) and where the Company bears the investment risk. However, the Short-Term Fixed Account is intended as a temporary holding place for premiums that are expected ultimately to be invested in the Variable Investment Options; therefore, the Company intends to declare a lower rate of interest for the Short-Term Fixed Account, and transfers out of the Traditional Fixed Account are subject to restrictions that do not apply to the Short-Term Fixed Account. The Fixed Account Options are described in Appendix B to the Prospectus.

You can change the Investment Options in which you invest throughout the life of the Policy.

**Transfers** 

Within limitations, you may transfer Policy Value from one Variable Investment Option to another and to and from the Short-Term Fixed Account and Traditional Fixed Account. In addition, the Policy offers two automated transfer programs — a dollar cost averaging program and an asset rebalancing program.

**Policy Value** 

The Policy Value includes the amount in the Variable Investment Options and the Fixed Account Options. The value of your Policy will increase or decrease based upon the investment performance of the Variable Investment Options you choose, your premium payments, interest credited to the Fixed Account Options, any partial withdrawals, outstanding loans (including loan interest), and the charges we deduct.

The Cash Surrender Value is the Policy Value decreased by any surrender charge. The Net Cash Surrender Value is the Policy Value decreased by any outstanding policy loan and less any surrender charge. See What Is the Value of My Policy? in the Prospectus. You may surrender your Policy at any time and you will receive the Net Cash Surrender Value.

------

The Policy Value of your Policy will vary with the investment performance of the options you select. There is a risk that the investment performance of the Variable Investment Options may be unfavorable or may not perform up to your expectations, which may decrease the amount of your Net Cash Surrender Value. If the Variable Investment Options you select for your Policy perform poorly you could lose money, including some or all of the premiums paid. Each Variable Investment Option invests in a different Fund, and a discussion of the investment risks of each of the Funds may be found in the prospectus for each of the Funds. Each Fund has its own investment objective and investment strategy. The investment performance of each will vary, and some Funds are riskier than others. We do not guarantee the investment performance of any of the Variable Investment Options or Funds. You bear the entire investment risk for all amounts allocated to the Variable Investment Options.

**Loans** 

You may take a loan on your Policy. You may borrow up to 95% of your Cash Surrender Value. The minimum amount you may borrow is $250. If you take a loan, Policy Value will be transferred from the Variable Investment Options or the Fixed Account Options into the Policy loan account. The Policy Value in the Policy loan account does not participate in the investment experience of the Variable Investment Options. Interest on loans will be charged at a fixed loan interest rate of 6% and is payable at the end of each policy year. You may repay all or part of a loan at any time.

Policy loans reduce your Policy Value and death benefit, which may increase the risk your Policy could lapse. Outstanding loans may impact your No-Lapse Guarantee, and you may need to make additional premium payments or loan repayments to maintain the rider's guarantee. If you take a loan on your Policy, you may be subject to tax consequences. See How Is the Policy Treated Under Federal Income Tax Law? in the Prospectus.

**Surrenders and Withdrawals** 

You may surrender your Policy in full at any time. If you do, we will pay you the Net Cash Surrender Value (the Policy Value, less any policy loan outstanding and less any surrender charge that then applies). You may make partial withdrawals (subject to limitations) from your Net Cash Surrender Value. The minimum partial withdrawal amount is $250. Note that you do not have access to your full Policy Value, just the Net Cash Surrender Value.

However, the Policy is generally not a liquid investment. Surrender charges will apply during the first 15 policy years (the surrender charge period). There are limitations on your ability to access your Policy Value through surrenders and partial withdrawals, including surrender charges, partial withdrawal fees, possible tax consequences, adverse impacts on Policy benefits, increased risk of Policy lapse, and administrative requirements. A withdrawal will reduce your Policy Value (and therefore your Net Cash Surrender Value) by the amount withdrawn, and could reduce your death benefit. If the Policy's Net Cash Surrender Value is reduced to a point where it cannot meet the Monthly Deductions, then your Policy may lapse and terminate.

**Free Look Period: 'Right to Cancel'** 

You have the right to cancel your Policy within 10 days after you receive it (or longer in some states). This is referred to as the free look period. To cancel your Policy, simply deliver or mail the Policy to our office or to the financial professional who delivered the Policy to you.

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
**No-Lapse Guarantee** 

The Policy includes a No-Lapse Guarantee Rider at no additional cost. This rider prevents the lapse of the Policy when the Net Cash Surrender Value is insufficient to cover the Monthly Deductions for the following month, as long as the No-Lapse Guarantee Requirement is satisfied. The Rider may last until the Maturity Date of the Policy. The No-Lapse Guarantee Requirement is based on the amount of your premium payments (less withdrawals), hypothetical no-lapse guarantee charges and interest rates, and other factors. See What Are the Supplemental Riders and Benefits That Are Available? — No-Lapse Guarantee Rider in the Prospectus for additional information.

**Supplemental Riders — Optional Benefits** 

The Company offers optional benefits through supplemental riders that may be added to your Policy (an additional charge applies to some of these riders). These riders include an Accidental Death Benefit Rider, Children's Term Insurance Rider, Disability Waiver of Monthly Deductions Rider, Accelerated Death Benefit Rider, Chronic Illness Accelerated Benefit Rider, and the No-Lapse Guarantee Rider. If any of these riders are added, any applicable monthly charges for certain of the supplemental riders will be deducted from your Policy Value as part of the Monthly Deductions.

**Taxes** 

Death benefits paid under life insurance policies are generally not subject to federal income tax, but may be subject to federal and state estate taxes. Investment gains from your Policy are not taxed as long as the gains remain in the Policy. If the Policy is not treated as a modified endowment contract under federal income tax law, then distributions from the Policy may be treated first as the return of investments in the Policy and then, only after the return of all investment in the Policy, as distributions of taxable income (taxed as ordinary income). Distributions include partial withdrawals and surrenders. See How Is the Policy Treated Under Federal Income Tax Law? in the Prospectus for additional information.

**STANDARD DEATH BENEFIT** 

In your application for the Policy, you tell us how much life insurance coverage you want on the life of the insured. This is called the Specified Amount of insurance. The minimum Specified Amount of insurance that you can purchase is $50,000 ($100,000 for issue ages 71 to 85). Insurance coverage under the Policy is effective on the Policy date after we accept the application, receive the initial premium payment, and all underwriting and administrative requirements have been met.

When the insured dies, we will pay the beneficiary the death benefit less the amount of any outstanding loan and any unpaid policy charges. The death benefit is the greater of (a) the Specified Amount of insurance, or (b) the applicable percentage of the Policy Value on the date of the insured's death.

The Policy Value includes amounts in the Variable Investment Options and the Fixed Account Options.

The applicable percentages depend on the life insurance qualification test under the Code. We are currently only offering policies using the Cash Value Accumulation Test (CVAT) and the applicable percentages will vary by attained age and the insurance risk characteristics. The "applicable percentages" are shown in the Table of Death Benefit Factors in the Policy. If the investment performance of the Investment Options you have chosen is favorable, then possibly the amount of the death benefit may increase. Favorable investment performance will not ordinarily increase the death benefit for several years and may not increase it at all.

The death benefit could increase or decrease based on investment performance, but will not be less than the Specified Amount. You can decrease the Specified Amount, subject to certain conditions.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
Death benefits are calculated based on values as of the date of death. We will ordinarily pay the death benefit within seven days after receipt at our office of all the documents required for completion of the transaction in good order.

You may choose to receive proceeds from the Policy as a single sum. This includes proceeds that become payable because of death or surrender. Alternatively, you can elect to have proceeds of $5,000 or more applied to any of the following payment options:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Option 1 — Interest income: We will credit interest to the amount applied, and the interest will be paid monthly,
quarterly, semiannually or annually;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Option 2 — Income for a fixed period: We will pay the amount applied, with interest, in equal monthly payments for a
fixed period, which may not be greater than 30 years;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Option 3 — Income of a specified amount: We will make payments monthly, quarterly, semiannually or annually of a
specified amount until the total amount applied, with interest, has been paid;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Option 4 — Life income: We will pay equal monthly payments during the life of the option annuitant;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Option 5 — Life income with guaranteed period: We will pay equal monthly payments for a stated guaranteed period,
which may be 5, 10 or 20 years, and thereafter during the life of the option annuitant;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Option 6 — Life income with refund period: We will pay equal monthly payments during the life of the option annuitant
and, if necessary, continue the payments after the death of the option annuitant until the total of all payments made equals the total amount applied;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Option 7 — Joint and survivor life income: We will pay equal monthly payments during the joint life of two option
annuitants and thereafter during the life of the survivor.

Periodic payments may not be less than $50 each. Only one payment will be made if the annuitant(s) dies before the second payment is made under Option 4 and Option 7. Only a few payments will be made if the annuitant(s) dies shortly after payments begin. You can change the payment option at any time before the proceeds are payable. If no election is in effect at the time of the death of the insured, the beneficiary may elect an income payment option before any payment of the death benefit has been made and within one year of the date of death. The Death Benefit will be paid to the beneficiary in one sum if an income payment option is not elected.

**BUYING THE POLICY** 

**Premium Payments** 

Amounts you pay to us under your Policy are called premiums or premium payments. The amount we require as your first premium depends on a number of factors, such as age, sex, rate classification, the amount of insurance specified in the application, and any supplemental riders. You will have a schedule of planned premium payments. However, within limits, you can make premium payments when you wish, and additional or unplanned premiums may be paid in any amount and at any time. That is why the Policy is called a flexible premium Policy. Paying the planned premiums may not be sufficient to keep the Policy in force.

A premium may not be less than the minimum shown in your Policy (generally at least $25). We may require satisfactory evidence of insurability before accepting any premium which increases our Net Amount at Risk (the difference between the death benefit and the Policy Value).

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
We may also limit premium payments as necessary in order to qualify the Policy as life insurance under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). No payment will be returned or refused if it is necessary to continue coverage (that is, to prevent lapse), but the premium allotted to the Policy may be reduced (to maintain qualification as life insurance) and the balance returned to you. See How Is the Policy Treated Under Federal Income Tax Law? in the Prospectus.

A premium charge will be deducted from each premium, and the remaining amount (the Net Premium) will be credited to the Policy Value and allocated to the Investment Options according to your elections.

**Planned Premiums** 

The Policy Specifications Page of your Policy will show the planned premium for the Policy. You choose this amount in the Policy application. We will send a premium reminder notice to you based upon the planned premium that you specified in your application, with the exception of monthly premiums being paid via electronic fund transfer program. You also choose in your application how often to pay planned premiums — annually, semi-annually, quarterly or monthly. You are not required to pay the planned premium as long as your Policy has sufficient value to pay policy charges or the provisions of the No-Lapse Guarantee Rider are satisfied.

Although you may have a schedule of planned premiums, ***your Policy can lapse even if you pay all of the planned premiums on time*** (unless the provisions of the No-Lapse Guarantee Rider are satisfied). When a Policy lapses, it terminates and has no value, and no benefits are paid upon the death of the insured.

If all premium payments cease, this Policy will continue, subject to the Grace Period provision (see below), for as long as the values in this Policy are sufficient to keep it in force.

**HOW YOUR POLICY CAN LAPSE** 

**Grace Period; Lapse and Reinstatement** 

If, on a Monthly Anniversary prior to the Maturity Date, the Net Cash Surrender Value is insufficient to cover the Monthly Deductions for the following policy month, (and the provisions of the No-Lapse Guarantee Rider are not satisfied), then a Grace Period of 61 days will be allowed for the payment of a premium sufficient to pay the Monthly Deductions for the Grace Period plus two additional months. Notice of the amount of premium required to be paid during the Grace Period to keep this Policy in force will be sent to your last known address and that of any assignee on record.

During the Grace Period, the Policy Value, Cash Surrender Value, No-Lapse Guarantee Account value, and death benefit are calculated in the same manner as before the Policy entered the Grace Period. We will notify you of how much premium you will need to pay to keep the Policy in force. If you don't pay at least the required amount by the end of the Grace Period, your Policy will terminate (i.e., lapse). All coverage under the Policy will then cease. If you die after the end of the grace period, when the Policy has terminated, your beneficiary will not receive any death benefit.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
**Reinstatement** 

If the Policy terminates, you can apply to reinstate it within five years from the date of lapse if the insured is alive. You will have to provide evidence that the insured person still meets our requirements for issuing insurance. You will also have to pay a minimum amount of premium. The minimum amount of premium to be paid on reinstatement is equal to an amount necessary to make the Net Cash Surrender Value positive plus the Monthly Deductions for the two policy months following the reinstatement date, or the amount necessary to satisfy the provisions of the No-Lapse Guarantee Rider at the date of reinstatement and for two policy months following the reinstatement date (if applicable). Policy Debt (any outstanding policy loan, including interest) which existed at the end of the Grace Period must either be repaid or reinstated.

Following reinstatement, the No-Lapse Guarantee Rider is also reinstated. Any other supplemental riders attached to the Policy prior to lapse may be reinstated.

**No-Lapse Guarantee Rider** 

The No-Lapse Guarantee (NLG) Rider is automatically included with your Policy at no additional cost. This rider prevents the lapse of the Policy when the Net Cash Surrender Value is insufficient to cover the Monthly Deductions for the following month as long as the No-Lapse Guarantee Requirement is satisfied. The NLG Rider may last until the Maturity Date of the Policy.

We will continue to deduct Monthly Deductions from the Policy Value while the Policy is in force under the NLG Rider. The Policy will remain in force with a negative Policy Value if the No-Lapse Guarantee Requirement is satisfied. We will not credit interest to the negative Policy Value. The death benefit will not be reduced due to a negative Policy Value. Loan interest will continue to accrue and will be added to your Policy Debt.

**No-Lapse Guarantee Requirement (NLG Requirement)** — On each Monthly Anniversary while this Policy is in force, the NLG Requirement is satisfied if the No-Lapse Guarantee Account, less any Policy Debt, exceeds zero.

**No-Lapse Guarantee Account (NLGA)** — The NLGA is only used to determine whether or not the NLG Requirement is satisfied. It is a hypothetical, or "phantom" account that has no actual value. It cannot be accessed or used for withdrawals or loans, and does not impact the amount of the Net Cash Surrender Value or death benefit.

The NLGA is based on your premium payments, and special NLG policy charges band rates. The NLG rates and charges used to determine the NLGA are different from the rates and charges used to determine the actual value of your Policy. See the Additional Policy Specifications Page of your Policy for the NLG rates and charges.

**Allocation Requirements** — In order to keep the NLG Rider in force, we reserve the right to establish requirements and restrictions on your Policy Value allocations to the Variable Investment and Fixed Account Options. We do not currently impose any special allocation requirements or restrictions.

**MAKING WITHDRAWALS: ACCESSING THE MONEY IN YOUR POLICY** 

**Surrender** 

You may surrender your Policy at any time. If you do, we will pay you the Policy Value, less any policy loan outstanding and less any surrender charge that then applies. This is called your Net Cash Surrender Value. The Policy Value is based on amounts allocated to the Variable Investment Options and/or the Fixed Account Options. Surrenders may be subject to tax consequences, including a tax penalty if withdrawn before age 59 1/2. See How Is the Policy Treated Under Federal Income Tax Law? in the Prospectus for additional information.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
**Partial Withdrawal** 

You may make a partial withdrawal of a portion of the Net Cash Surrender Value. Partial withdrawals reduce the Policy Value and Net Cash Surrender Value by the amount of the partial withdrawal. Partial withdrawals will be deducted from the Variable Investment Options, the Short-Term Fixed Account and the Traditional Fixed Account in accordance with your directions. In the absence of such direction, the partial withdrawal will be deducted from the Variable Investment Options, the Short-Term Fixed Account and the Traditional Fixed Account on a pro-rata basis. Partial withdrawals may increase the risk that the Policy will lapse, and may be subject to tax consequences, including a tax penalty if withdrawn before age 59 <sup>1</sup>⁄<sub>2</sub>. See How Is the Policy Treated Under Federal Income Tax Law? in the Prospectus for additional information.

Partial withdrawals are subject to a number of conditions, including that no more than twelve partial withdrawals may be made in a policy year; each partial withdrawal must be at least $250; a partial withdrawal may not be made from an account if the amount remaining in that account would be less than $25; the partial withdrawal may not reduce the Specified Amount of insurance under your Policy to less than the minimum Specified Amount under the Policy ($50,000); and the partial withdrawal will be subject to a processing fee equal to the lesser of $25 or 2% of the amount withdrawn.

If any withdrawals are made, the death benefit will be less than it would have been if no withdrawals were made. The Specified Amount may also be reduced; specifically, a partial withdrawal may reduce your Specified Amount of insurance — by the amount by which the partial withdrawal exceeds the difference between (a) the death benefit provided under the Policy, and (b) the Specified Amount of insurance.

**Timing of Transactions** 

We will ordinarily pay the partial withdrawal or surrender proceeds within seven days after receipt at our office of all the documents required for completion of the transaction in good order.
