4. CREATED EXCLUSIVELY FOR FINANCIAL PROFESSIONALS ___________ ___ __ ______________Accumulation With Tax Diversification 1 1 As it pertains to this strategy, the client must have a valid need for death benefit protection before considering the accumulation features of life insurance. 2 Both loans and withdrawals from a permanent life insurance policy may be subject to penalties and fees and, along with any accrued loan interest, will reduce the policy's account value and death benefit. Assuming a policy is not a Modified Endowment Contract (MEC), withdrawals will generally be taxed only to the extent that they exceed the policy owner’s cost basis in the policy and usually loans are free from current federal taxation. A policy loan could result in tax consequences if the policy lapses or is surrendered while a loan is outstanding. Distributions from MECs are subject to federal income tax to the extent of the gain in the policy and taxable distributions are subject to a 10% additional tax prior to age 59 1/2, with certain exceptions. 4 NOT FOR CONSUMER USE.

19. CREATED EXCLUSIVELY FOR FINANCIAL PROFESSIONALS Important Considerations If premiums and/or performance are insufficient over time, the policy could lapse which would require additional out of pocket premiums to keep it in force. If your client’s financial situation changes and they need to forego making premium payments to focus on paying other expenses, their life insurance death benefit may terminate and the results illustrated may not be achieved. Loans taken will become taxable upon policy surrender or lapse. The accuracy of determining future needs and expenses is more critical for clients at older ages who have less opportunity to replace assets used for the strategy. Your client should consider developing a comprehensive financial plan to take into account current and future income & expenses in conjunction with implementing a strategy discussed herein. The death benefit protection offered by a life insurance policy can be a key component of a sound financial plan. We recommend that your client consult their tax and legal adviser to discuss their specific situation before implementing any strategy discussed herein. 19 NOT FOR CONSUMER USE.

20. CREATED EXCLUSIVELY FOR FINANCIAL PROFESSIONALS Other Considerations Financial and medical underwriting will apply and sufficient premiums must be paid over time Loans and withdrawals reduce policy cash value and death benefit and may have tax consequences For loans to remain income tax-free, the policy must stay in force until death and non-MEC status If classified as a MEC, policy distributions are taxable to the extent of gain on a LIFO basis (10% penalty rules may apply before age 59½) Withdrawals in the first 15 policy years may have adverse tax consequences* Exposure to market volatility if variable life is used All guarantees within the policy are based on the claims-paying ability of the issuing company. 20 NOT FOR CONSUMER USE. * IRC Section 7702(f)(7) (B-C) retests life insurance contract withdrawals and face reductions and may cause adverse income tax consequences. 20
