Product Highlights Loans1 Variable interest rate which depends in part on the performance of the Moody’s Corporate Bond Yield Average – Monthly Average Preferred Loans1 Available after 10 policy years Credited rate currently equals loan rate Loan amount restricted to policy earnings Withdrawals1,2 (Partial Withdrawals) Allowed after 5th policy year, a partial withdrawal of the cash value will result in a proportional reduction of accumulation value, specified amount, and Continuation Guarantee account values 1 Policy loans and partial withdrawals will reduce the death benefit and cash value and could reduce the duration of coverage. Partial withdrawals may be taxed as regular earnings. The policy owner should consult a tax advisor to determine the effect of these provisions. 2 The reduction in specified amount will be subject to the same guidelines and restrictions as outlined in the policy from and resulting death benefit amount must be no less than $90,000. Variable Interest Rate Loans The policy contract will have a provision permitting an adjustable maximum interest rate charged on a policy loan which will be established from time to time as permitted by law. The rate shall not exceed the higher of the following: The ‘published monthly average’ for the calendar month ending two (2) months before the date on which the rate is determined; or The rate used to compute the cash surrender values under the policy during the applicable period plus one percent per annum The published monthly average means: The Moody’s Corporate Bond Yield Average – Monthly Average Corporates as published by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or any successor thereto; or in the event that Moody’s Corporate Bond Yield Average – Monthly Average Corporates is no longer published, a substantially similar average, established by regulation issued by the commissioner. The policy contract shall contain a provision setting forth the frequency at which the maximum rate is to be determined for that policy. The maximum Rate for each policy must be determined at regular intervals at least one every 12 months, but not more frequently than once in any 3 month period. (The specified frequency will be quarterly). At the intervals specified in the policy: The rate being charged may be increased whenever an increase determined by the ‘published monthly average method’ would increase that rate by ½% or more per annum; The rate charged must be reduced whenever a reduction as determined under ‘published monthly average method’ would decrease that rate by ½% or more per annum Preferred Loans: Preferred Loans are available after ten policy years but are restricted to policy earnings, which is the excess of the Accumulation Value less Surrender Charge less outstanding loans at the beginning of the year less the sum of premiums paid over Partial Withdrawals. The amount eligible for a Preferred Loan is determined at the beginning of each policy year and does not change during that year. Interest credited to the amount of the Accumulation Value offset by a preferred loan will be at an annual effective rate of 3.00%. The policy loan annual effective interest rate we charge will be between 3.0% and 3.25% (which is equivalent to 2.91% or 3.15% paid in advance). The net cost to the policyholder is reduced to zero since the credited rate is equal to the loan rate. Policy loans are capitalized so that interest is credited on the loan interest at the same rate as the associated policy loan.

Life Insurance You Don’t Have to Die to Use
What if the client outlives their savings or gets sick along the way? In addition to the base policy guarantees, SecureLifetime 3 offers two riders that provide significant guaranteed benefits while the policyowner/insured is still living. That’s right! They can be beneficiaries of their own policies. This is truly life insurance you don’t have to die to use. Whether you die too soon, get sick along the way or live too long. Let’s explore these two riders…. Not only does the SecureLifetime 3 policy provide death-benefit protection, it also offers living benefits by helping to protect against the financial risk of becoming chronically ill or living longer than you expected. Asset Protector, which includes the Accelerated Access Solution (AAS) and Lifestyle Income Solution (LIS), is a set of riders that can help protect against the unexpected expenses that may arise from chronic illnesses and help preserve the client’s standard-of-living throughout retirement. You may choose the Asset Protector bundle or either individual living benefit rider separately. Any benefit paid under one of the riders reduces the benefit available under the other rider or available as a death benefit. If the insured dies, there will be no additional AAS or LIS benefit available. If any AAS or LIS benefit is paid, the death benefit will be reduced by $1 for every $1 of benefits paid.

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 Maximum UW classification is Table D. Not available with a flat extra. 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. 13

Monthly Benefit = Total Benefit ÷ 12 months The 8.3% Option! IRS caps the maximum daily rate each year. The 2019 maximum is $370/day or $11,254/month. Subsequent years may be higher. $300,000 DB x 2% = $6,000 per month $300,000 DB x 4% = $12,000 per month $300,000 DB ÷ 12 = $25,000 per month = 8.33% per month! *Maximum monthly benefits limited to IRS per diem in effect at time of claim 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) $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! 14

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 2019: Collect $11,254 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 2016 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 15
