1 ‘ Retirement Income Assurance Policy Summary for Employers Prepared by: Pension Advisory Group, Inc. and Diversified Growth Solutions, LLC RIAP Program Underwritten on Behalf of Lloyd’s of London by Pro Financial Services, LLC

2 The Problem: If you become disabled, you can no longer contribute to your DC retirement plan. Contributions to a 401(k), 403(b) or 457 plan cannot be made by any employee (or their employer) unless the employee is currently receiving pay. Under IRC Section 415(c)(3)(C) and Regulation sections 1.415-2(e)(3) and 1.415-4(g), if you are not actively on the payroll of your company, you are prohibited from making elective deferrals and your employer is also prohibited from making contributions on your behalf. 2 “If You become disabled, so does Your Retirement Plan!”

3 3 We insure our Lives, our Homes, our Cars and our Income. So, why don’t we insure our Retirement Income? From a statistical perspective, we should!! According to “Injury Facts”: [National Safety Council, 2006 Edition]  In the home: a disability injury occurs every 4 seconds  In the car: an auto-related disability injury occurs every 13 seconds  In the overall population: in the last 10 minutes, 441 Americans became disabled. Severity and Frequency of Disability:  A 35 year-old, white-collar male who suffers a disability lasting 90 days or longer will be out of work an average of about six years. [LIFE Foundation, May 2007]  43% of all people age 40 will have a long-term disability event prior to age 65. [JHA Disability FactBook, 2006 Edition] Pension Disability Insurance is Important!

4 4  For life insurance, waiver of premium is a well-established benefit  If an insured becomes disabled, the likelihood is that he/she will no longer be able to pay the premium for the life policy.  Developed more than 50 years ago; WP is prevalent today  A similar “waiver of contributions” benefit is needed in qualified Defined Contribution retirement plans to ensure that participant elective deferrals (and employer contributions) will continue even if a participant should become disabled before reaching normal retirement age.  The time has come for American employers to implement the Retirement Income Assurance Policy (“RIAP”) program, underwritten by Lloyd’s of London and Pro Financial Services, for the benefit of their workforce covered by DC retirement plans! Our Solution for American Workers: The Retirement Income Assurance Policy
