12 Key Terminology BENCHMARK PREMIUM: The Benchmark Premium is a level annual premium which is used to determine the Excess Funding option. BENCHMARK CASH VALUE: The Minimum Benchmark Cash Value is calculated using a tracking account that applies the same premium and current charges as the policyholder account value with the exception that interest will be credited on the tracking account at a fixed rate. (5.50%) You can locate these values on the Your Narrative Summary page of the illustration The total cash withdrawal benefit for all combined options will be limited to the lesser of $100,000 and 10% of the Specified Amount whichever is lower.

26 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

27 Accelerated Access Solution
101(g) No LTC license necessary 2-out-of-6 ADLs; or Severe Cognitive Impairment No Permanency Requirement* 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. 27

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 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 2017 maximum is $360/day or $10,950 month. Subsequent years may be higher. * Maximum monthly benefits limited to IRS per diem in effect at time of claim 28

29 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 2017: Collect $10,950 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 2017 you’ wouldn’t receive the entire $12,000 per month. The IRS Per Diem would limit you to $10,950 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. * Maximum monthly benefits limited to IRS per diem in effect at time of claim 29

39 ML Strategic Balanced Index® Dynamically Blending Equity and Fixed Income Indices to Provide Stability with Upside Growth Potential What You Should Know About the S&P 500 and ML Strategic Balanced Index The S&P 500® Index includes 500 of the largest companies in the U.S. market. It is widely regarded as the standard for measuring U.S. stock market performance. The Merrill Lynch 10-Year Treasury Futures (Total Return) Index tracks the performance of a portfolio of near maturity 10-year U.S. Treasury futures contracts. It is representative of the fixed income market. The ML Strategic Balanced Index is a hybrid index that diversifies across multiple asset classes. It seeks growth and volatility control by dynamically allocating to equity, fixed income and cash. Account options that use the ML Strategic Balanced Index may benefit from a higher, more consistent level of earned interest. 39

40 Rules-Based Indexing A dynamic two-step allocation process
The ML Strategic Balanced Index® employs quantitative rules based on market volatility to adjust exposures between the S&P 500® Index (without dividends) and the Merrill Lynch 10-Year Treasury Futures (Total Return) Index. This rules-based process helps to eliminate the negative impact that emotions may have on allocation decisions, making the process objective and transparent. Equity and fixed income allocations are rebalanced semiannually based on the historical volatility of the underlying indices. Volatility is also monitored on a daily basis, and allocations may be shifted to cash when short-term volatility rises above 6%. The Index seeks to maintain volatility at this level to help balance risk and return. 1. Volatility Control measures seek to provide smoother results and mitigate sharp market fluctuations. While this type of strategy can lessen the impact of market downturns, it is important to note that it will also lessen the impact of market upturns, therefore limiting upside potential.

41 The Value of a Dynamic Rules-Based Approach Stable performance over the past 20 years

53 Index Disclosure for the ML Strategic Balanced Index
The ML Strategic Balanced IndexSM provides systematic, rules-based access to the blended performance of two underlying indices—the S&P 500 (without dividends), which serves to represent equity performance, and the Merrill Lynch 10-year U.S. Treasury Futures Total Return Index, which serves to represent fixed income performance. To help manage overall return volatility, the Index may also systematically utilize Cash performance in addition to the performance of the two underlying indices. Important Note: The ML Strategic Balanced Index embeds an annual index cost in the calculations of the change in Index Value over the Index Term. This “embedded index cost” will reduce any change in Index Value over the Index Term that would otherwise have been used in the calculation of index interest, and it funds certain operational and licensing costs for the index. It is not a fee paid by you or received by the Company. The Company’s licensing relationship with Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated for use of the ML Strategic Balanced Index and for use of certain service marks includes the Company’s purchase of financial instruments for purposes of meeting its interest crediting obligations. Some portion of those instruments will, or may be, purchased from Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated or its Affiliates. Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and its affiliates (“BofA Merrill Lynch”) indices and related information, the name “BofA Merrill Lynch”, and related trademarks, are intellectual property licensed from BofA Merrill Lynch, and may not be copied, used, or distributed without BofA Merrill Lynch’s prior written approval. The products of licensee American General Life Insurance Company have not been passed on as to their legality or suitability, and are not regulated, issued, endorsed, sold, guaranteed, or promoted by BofA Merrill Lynch. BOFA MERRILL LYNCH MAKES NO WARRANTIES AND BEARS NO LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO ANY INDEX, ANY RELATED INFORMATION, ITS TRADEMARKS, OR THE PRODUCT(S) (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ITS QUALITY, ACCURACY, SUITABILITY AND/OR COMPLETENESS). The ML Strategic Balanced Index (the “Index”) is the property of Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, which has contracted with S&P Opco, LLC (a subsidiary of S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC) to calculate and maintain the Index. The Index is not sponsored by S&P Dow Jones Indices or its affiliates or its third party licensors (collectively, “S&P Dow Jones Indices”). S&P Dow Jones Indices will not be liable for any errors or omissions in calculating the Index. “Calculated by S&P Dow Jones Indices” and the related stylized mark(s) are service marks of S&P Dow Jones Indices and have been licensed for use by Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated.
