Common use of Early Withdrawal Charge Clause in Contracts

Early Withdrawal Charge. If requested by the Employer after the completion of a period agreed upon by the Employer and us not to exceed five Contract Years from the date as of which an agreement is entered into between the Employer and us and after the completion of each successive period, any assets of the Plan that are currently held in Participant accounts under the Contract will be transferred as soon as administratively practicable to a successor funding agency designated by the Employer unless, not later than 7 days before the date on which a transfer would otherwise occur, the Employer notifies us to renew that agreement. Such funds will be transferred in a single sum and no withdrawal charges will be applied in connection with such a transfer. However, upon termination of participation or a partial withdrawal prior to the end of the agreed upon period, a withdrawal charge may apply as described above in the section "Withdrawal Charges". We will not be responsible for the validity of any instructions by the Employer.
