charged 1% of the amount switched, to be deducted from the proceeds of the sale of the originating

policyowner. When this happens, the contract ceases.
Surrender charges, if applicable, will be deducted from withdrawal proceeds or from the policyowner’s
account by selling units equivalent to the amount charged, depending on the policyowner’s choice.
