The charge applies to the amount you withdraw above any free amount. Example: withdrawing $10,000 in year 1 would cost $900, before any market value adjustment.

Market value adjustment (MVA): Yes

While surrender charges apply, an early withdrawal is also adjusted for interest rate changes. If rates have fallen since you bought, the adjustment adds to what you receive. If rates have risen, it reduces it.
