3 Value of Living Benefits
Help cover cost of care for chronic, critical, or terminal illness Provide peace of mind during a difficult time Help maintain quality of life On ALL Quality of Life…Insurance Products Living benefits are quite valuable and an important aspect in today’s financial planning. Not having the proper coverage in place to help protect against the unknown can derail even the most sound financial plans. Living benefits will help cover the cost of care for chronic, critical, or terminal illnesses. They provide peace of mind to your clients during a difficult time. Knowing they can accelerate a portion of their life insurance policy’s death benefit can help ease the financial burden caused by these unexpected illnesses or conditions. It will also help your clients maintain their quality of life. The SelectChoice II Accelerated Benefit Riders are included automatically on all Quality of Life…Insurance products. There are no underwriting restrictions. If they qualify for the policy, they automatically receive the accelerated benefit riders on their policy. The best part is that these valuable benefits are provided on the policy at no additional premium cost to the client. NO ADDITIONAL PREMIUM COST

4 Accelerated Benefit Rider Details
Accelerate 100% of death benefit, up to $2 million, for a qualifying chronic, critical, or terminal illness Total accelerated death benefit across all QoL policies may not exceed $2 million Provide a discounted benefit depending on severity of the condition and the expected impact on life expectancy More severe the expected impact on life expectancy, greater the accelerated amount Death benefit will be reduced by full claimed amount Now includes GUARANTEED MINIMUM benefit payout Percentage of death benefit based off policy year at time of claim Indemnity Benefit—No receipts required; spend benefits on anything These riders allow the client to accelerate 100% of their death benefit, up to $2 million, for a qualifying chronic, critical, or terminal illness. The total accelerated death benefit across all QoL policies may not exceed $2 million. The riders provide a discounted benefit to your client depending on the severity of the condition and the expected impact it has on their remaining life expectancy. Because they are receiving a portion of their death benefit early, the actual amount they receive is discounted to account for the early acceleration. The more severe the expected impact on life expectancy, the greater the accelerated amount they receive may be. The policy’s death benefit will be reduced by the full claimed amount. This version of the accelerated benefit riders now includes a guaranteed minimum benefit payout for the chronic, critical, and terminal illness conditions. The guaranteed minimums are a percentage of the policy’s death benefit and are based off the policy year at the time a claim is made. The SelectChoice II accelerated benefit riders are an indemnity type of benefit. That means the client does not have to provide receipts to receive the acceleration or wait to be reimbursed for their medical expenses. In fact, they can spend the benefit payout on whatever they see fit.

5 Permanency Requirement Removed! Activities of Daily Living
Chronic Illness Permanency Requirement Removed! An illness or physical condition that: Certified in the last 12 months by a licensed health care practitioner AND Affects the insured so that he or she is unable to perform without substantial assistance at least 2 activities of daily living OR Requires substantial supervision by another person to protect themselves from threats to health and safety due to severe cognitive impairment Activities of Daily Living Bathing Eating Dressing Toileting Transferring Continence Lets take a look at the chronic illness benefit. A chronic illness is defined as: An illness or physical condition that: Is certified in the last 12 months by a licensed health care practitioner AND Affects the insured so that he or she is unable to perform without substantial assistance at least 2 activities of daily living OR Requires substantial supervision by another person to protect themselves from threats to health and safety due to sever cognitive impairment. The activities of daily living are: Bathing, eating, dressing, toileting, transferring, and continence. Finally, we have removed the permanency requirement for the chronic illness benefit. That means the insured’s chronic illness is no longer required to remain permanent in order to receive the acceleration. They can now be expected to recover from the condition and still receive the benefit as long as they meet the other criteria.

6 New Illustration Graphs-Chronic Illness
Our illustrations have been redesigned and now include new graphs that show hypothetical payout examples for the accelerated benefit riders. Here you can see a graph that shows the guaranteed, minor, moderate, and severe payout examples for the specific scenario at different benefit claim ages. The minor, moderate, and severe hypothetical payout examples are based off the company’s expected impact on the insured’s life expectancy. Remember, the greater the expected impact to their life expectancy, the greater the benefit payout. The hypothetical example shown assumes that the policy is issued with a life insurance benefit of $500,000 on a male, age 45, Standard Non Tobacco. Hypothetical amounts shown assume that no policy premiums are unpaid and that there is no loan balance. The potential benefit payouts were calculated using assumptions that are not guaranteed and may be changed at any time. Actual payouts may be more or less favorable.

7 Qualifying Critical Illnesses
Major Heart Attack Stroke Coronary Artery Bypass Invasive Cancer Blood Cancers End Stage Renal Failure Major Organ Transplant Paralysis Coma Severe Burn An illness or physical condition that: Insured is diagnosed by a physician within 365 days of date claim is received Is diagnosed by a physician after insured’s coverage has been in force for 30 consecutive days (90 for invasive cancer) Is not an occurrence of the same illness or condition that an acceleration has already been paid under this rider Next lets take a look at the critical illness benefit. A critical illness is defined as: An illness or physical condition that: The insured is diagnosed with by a physician within 365 days of the date the claim is received by the company. Is diagnosed by a physician after the insured’s coverage has been in force for 30 consecutive days (or 90 consecutive days if the condition is invasive cancer). And, is not an occurrence of the same illness or condition that an acceleration has already been paid under this rider. The list of qualifying critical illnesses is: Major Heart attack Stroke Coronary Artery Bypass Invasive Cancer End Stage Renal Failure Major Organ Transplant Paralysis Coma Severe Burn

8 Terminal Illness An illness or physical condition that:
Is diagnosed by a physician to be reasonably expected to result in the insured’s death within 24 months from the date of the diagnosis The final portion of the accelerated benefit riders covers terminal illness. Terminal illness is defined as: An illness or physical condition that: Is diagnosed by a physician to be reasonably expected to result in the insured’s death within 24 months from the date of diagnosis

9 Accelerated Access Solution (AAS)
Additional Chronic Illness Coverage The new Quality of Life…Insurance SelectChoice II Accelerated Benefit Riders provide a great value proposition to your clients and prospects. This presentation will walk through the details of the new riders and explain how they work. Policies issued by American General Life Insurance Company ("AGL“)

10 Accelerated Access Solution Details
Additional paid Chronic Illness benefit available on new QoL products Accelerate 100% of death benefit, up to $3 million, in the event of qualifying chronic illness Dollar-for-dollar acceleration; client always knows the benefit amount Maximum underwriting class: Table D Minimum monthly benefit payout: $1,000 Benefit payout may be elected to be lump sum or monthly payout Read through slide

11 Accelerated Access Solution
101(g) No LTC license necessary 2-out-of-6 ADLs; or Severe Cognitive Impairment No Longer Required to be Permanent* Indemnity Benefit No Receipts Spend benefits on anything Flexible Benefit Base Benefit = 50% up to 100% of Death Benefit $50,000 minimum up to $3,000,000 maximum Full waiver of monthly deductions Let’s look at some of the benefits of the Accelerated Access Solution. Accelerated Access was filed as a rider under IRC section 101(g). That primarily means that: No LTC license is required for you to be able to sell the Accelerated Access Solution as part of an AG Secure Lifetime GUL II policy. Your Life Insurance and Accident & Health licensing is all that’s necessary from a licensing standpoint. It also means that the primary triggers for Chronic Illness benefits are either (1) inability to perform 2-out-of-6 Activities of Daily Living (ADL’s); or (2) severe cognitive impairment. The benefit was filed as an Indemnity benefit. That’s completely different than the alternative – the Reimbursement benefit. With Reimbursement, you must file a claim and provide copies of all invoices. Your claim is reviewed and, eventually, you receive a reimbursement in an amount the insurance company deems appropriate based on your receipts. With American General Life’s Indemnity version, you don’t need to provide an receipts or file any claims regarding your treatments. American General Life will send your benefit checks every month, regardless of whether you’ve incurred any costs at all, and regardless of what those costs were. You meet the criteria for ADLs or severe cognitive impairment, file your claim and satisfy the 90-day waiting period, and American General Life begins sending the checks. *Connecticut Chronic Illness Accelerated Death Benefit Rider Requirements ( ) Chronic Illness in the state of Connecticut is defined as the insured being certified, within the previous12 months, as suffering a medically determinable condition which results in their being considered unable to perform 2 of 6 Activities of Daily Living, or requiring substantial supervision. Further, as a result of this condition, the insured must have been confined for at least six months in their place of residence or in an institution that provides necessary care or treatment of an injury, illness or loss of functional capacity. Finally, it must have been medically determined that the insured person is expected to remain confined in such place of residence or institution until death. 11

12 Flexible Monthly Benefit
Accelerated Access Solution (AAS) Flexible Monthly Benefit IRS Per Diem capped at 2% per month IRS Per Diem capped at 4% per month IRS Per Diem with No Cap! Max. Monthly Benefit = Total Benefit ÷ 12 months The 8.3% Option! Monthly benefit: American General Life will always pay up to the maximum IRS monthly Per Diem benefit, but you have a choice of three different caps on the maximum monthly benefit American General Life will pay. 2% of the AAS Benefit Base. With this option, if you had an Accelerated Access Solution aggregate benefit of $500,000, your monthly maximum benefit would be the lesser of: (a) the IRS monthly Per Diem; or (b) $10,000 per month. 4% of the AAS Benefit Base. With this option, if you had an Accelerated Access Solution aggregate benefit of $500,000, your monthly maximum benefit would be the lesser of: (a) the IRS monthly Per Diem; or (b) $20,000 per month. If you don’t choose to cap your monthly benefit at 2% or 4%, and assuming the same aggregate $500,000 Accelerated Access Solution benefit, the maximum monthly benefit will be the lesser of: (a) the IRS monthly Per Diem; or (b) $500,000 divided by 12 months = $41,666 per month. So, choose your aggregate benefit, and your monthly cap, and you’ll be ready to go! IRS caps the maximum daily rate each year. The 2016 maximum is $340/day or $10,341.66/month. Subsequent years may be higher. 12

13 Benefits of Accelerated Access Solution
Inflation hedge against future costs Purchase more than today’s Per Diem limit Many products won’t allow it Provides inflation protection with a maximum monthly benefit cap 4% Cap – example: 4% of $300,000 = $12,000 per month Go on-claim in 2016: Collect $10, per month Go on-claim in the future when Per Diem = $15,000 per month: Collect $12,000 per month Per Diem – example: $300,000 AAS benefit Maximum monthly benefit: $300,000 = $15,000 per month For clarification, here are a few more examples. With Accelerated Access Solution you can actually purchase more than today’s Per Diem limit. There are products on the market that won’t let you purchase a benefit in excess of the current year’s Per Diem limit, which means your benefit will never go up, regardless of an increasing, inflation adjusted Per Diem. Because AIG allows you to purchase an aggregate amount and a monthly benefit amount in excess of the current Per Diem, the outcome is very simple. At lower Per Diem amounts you get less per month, but for more months. At higher Per Diem amounts you get more per month, but for fewer months. Let’s look at another example using a 4% cap. If you purchased a $300,000 Accelerated Access Solution benefit, your maximum monthly benefit would be $12,000. Accelerating $12,000 per month would be able to continue for 25 months ($300,000 ÷ 12 = $25) If you went on-claim in 2014 you’ wouldn’t receive the entire $12,000 per month. The IRS Per Diem would limit you to $9,900 per month, which would last for 30 months. And, if you went on claim when the IRS Per Diem was $15,000, American General would limit your monthly benefit to your capped amount of $12,000 per month. Lastly, if you did not choose a 2% or 4% cap, then your maximum monthly benefit is your total benefit divided by 12. In this example, $300,000 ÷ 12 = $25,000 per month. Naturally, if the Per Diem amount is less than $25,000 per month, you’ll receive the Per Diem in effect when you began your claim. 13

14 Coordination of Benefits
AAS benefit pays out first in event of Chronic Illness (100% of DB up to $3 million) Critical and terminal qualifying events will be covered under QoL ABRs 100% of DB up to $2 million total for QoL ABRs Depending on amount of AAS benefit elected, may accelerate chronic illness from both AAS and QoL ABRs Ex: $2 million policy; elect $1 million AAS benefit, would have $1 million chronic illness benefit available under QoL ABRs Also have 100% of DB up to $2 million acceleration for critical and terminal illness on QoL ABRs Read directly from slide May accelerate DB from AAS and QoL ABRs: Up to 100% of death benefit, or rider maximums

15 Coordination of Benefits-Example
John Smith purchases a $3 million QoL Max Accumulator+ with free QoL ABRs Also purchases AAS and elects 100% of DB for the benefit base (total AAS coverage of $3 million) He suffers a chronic illness and decides to accelerate a portion of his DB $1.5 million is accelerated using the AAS rider $3 million total - $1.5 million accelerated = $1.5 million left to accelerate under AAS $2 million total (QoL ABRs) - $1.5 million accelerated = $500k left to accelerate under QoL ABRs John suffers a critical illness 2 years after the chronic illness acceleration He may accelerate the remaining QoL ABR benefit (up to $500k) for the qualifying critical illness Read directly from slide

18 Here is the financial life spectrum
Here is the financial life spectrum. Most people go through three phases. They are either building assets, protecting assets or trying to extend their assets. Now with American General Life’s Asset Protector we can mitigate all three potential risks during each of these phases of the financial life spectrum. Whether that be dying too soon, getting sick along the way or living too long. Let’s look at the first prong of protection of the Asset Protector which is Life Insurance which is designed to protect an individual from dying too soon.

21 QoL Guarantee Plus GUL II
FREE QoL ABRs 50% ROP at Policy Year 20 100% ROP at Policy Year 25 The first aspect of the Asset Protector is the Secure Lifetime GUL 3. This is the life insurance policy that provides protection against dying too soon. Above and beyond just the life insurance protection this policy also provides some other benefits. First both the death and premium amounts are guaranteed. Which means the life insurance policy will not lapse as long as the client pays the required guaranteed premium. Additionally this policy also builds up guaranteed cash value that the client can access if needed. Built into the Secure Lifetime GUL 3 policy is a no-cost rider called the enhanced surrender value rider. This rider allows the insured to surrender their policy at the end of the 20th policy year and receive back 50% of their premiums paid. The Asset Protector also has a 100% return of premium option beginning at the age of 85 which I will explain in more detail a little later in the presentation.

29 What the Statistics Say
Here let’s look at some statistics. If we look at a married couple there is a 50% chance that one of them will live to age 92 and there is a 10% chance that one will live to 104. Chances of survival to age X for one spouse of a couple Prepared by Ernst & Young Insurance and Actuarial Advisory Services practice. The analysis uses the Annuity 2000 mortality table with Scale G2 mortality improvements.

30 The Case for Lifestyle Income Solution: Longevity Insurance
The positive aspects of living longer come with some financial concerns 48% of Americans age 45–70 have no financial plans in place to protect themselves against outliving their assets and the rising cost of health care should they live longer than expected.1 In fact, retirees in America are so afraid of running out of money that a recent survey said that 61% of them fear running out of money more they fear dying! But, more interestingly, in spite of the intense fear of running out of money, 48% of Americans have done NOTHING to protect themselves against this contingency. Today, you have an opportunity to change that. 1 State of the Insured Retirement Industry: 2012 Recap and a 2013 Outlook, Insured Retirement Institute.

31 Lifestyle Income Solution: Longevity Insurance

32 Hypothetical information for illustrative purposes only.
100% ROP at Age 85 2.2x more! Premiums Returned! Here an example of the output on the quote for the Lifestyle Income Solution. At the age of 85 this client starts to accelerate their death benefit at a rate of roughly 10% per year. The total premium paid into this policy totals $438,781 which is 2.6x more than the guaranteed cash value at the age of 85. By age 90 the client has received back all of their premium by utilizing the Lifestyle Income Solution. Hypothetical information for illustrative purposes only.
