Use of Summary Prospectus Clause Samples

The 'Use of Summary Prospectus' clause authorizes the distribution of a condensed version of a full prospectus to investors in place of the complete document. In practice, this means that instead of providing the entire, often lengthy, prospectus, a summarized version highlighting key information such as investment objectives, risks, fees, and performance may be delivered to potential investors. This clause streamlines the disclosure process, making it easier for investors to access and understand essential information, while also reducing administrative burdens for issuers.

(b) The Trust represents, warrants and covenants that the availability of the Trust's Summary Prospectuses, Statutory Prospectuses and certain other Trust documents will comply with all applicable requirements of Rule 498, including, in particular, paragraph (e).

(c) The Trust shall be responsible for compliance with the provisions of Rule 498(f)(1) involving Contract owners' requests for additional Trust documents made directly to the Trust; the Company shall be responsible for compliance with the provisions of Rule 498(f)(1) involving Contract owners' requests for additional Trust documents made directly to the Company. In connection with the Company's obligation to deliver the documents pursuant to a request made directly to it, the Company shall obtain all such documents from the Trust or the Distributor, and shall not alter, in any way, such documents. (d) The Company represents and warrants that any bundling and delivery of Summary Prospectuses and Statutory Prospectuses will be compliant with Rule 498(c) and the greater prominence requirements of 498(f)(2). (e) The Trust is not required to use or provide Summary Prospectuses, and may discontinue use of Summary Prospectuses at any time, provided, however, that if the Trust determines that it will end its use of Summary Prospectuses, the Trust or Distributor will provide the Company with at least 60 days' advance notice of its intent. (f) The Company is not required to use or distribute Summary Prospectuses to its Contract owners, but rather use of the Summary Prospectus will be at the discretion of the Company. The Company agrees that it will give Distributor and the Trust sufficient notice of its intended use of the Summary Prospectuses or the Statutory Prospectuses.
