1 Survivorship Products Joshua Littrell Key Account Manager
Survivorship products insure two lives and are suited when the client has a need for death benefit protection is at the death of a second insured. Often these products are ideal for wealth transfer planning, however, they too can offer lifetime benefits such as access to cash value for lifetime income needs and Accelerated Benefits after the first insured’s death. National Life Insurance Company® | Life Insurance Company of the Southwest™ National Life Group® is a trade name of National Life Insurance Company, Montpelier, VT, Life Insurance Company of the Southwest (LSW), Addison, TX and their affiliates. Each company of NLGroup is solely responsible for its own financial condition and contractual obligations. LSW is not an authorized insurer in New York and does not conduct insurance business in New York. TC72205(0213)

2 Survivorship Product Overview
SIUL Death Benefit Very Flexible Premium Flexible Cash Value Interest credits based on the changes in a major market index. Downside protection with upside potential The companies of National Life Group offer a three forms of Survivorship Products: Current Assumption Survivorship UL Indexed Survivorship Whole Life Survivorship Consider the following when choosing the best insurance policy for your client’s needs. Are they someone who needs guarantees and wants to know exactly how much your insurance will cost? Then they may want to consider Survivorship Whole Life. Are they looking for flexibility with the opportunity to accumulate cash value for future income needs? Then they may want to consider a Survivorship UL If they are looking for the opportunity for more upside potential than a Survivorship IUL policy may make sense.. All indices are unmanaged and you cannot invest directly in any market index. Guarantees are dependent upon the claims-paying ability of the issuing company.

4 NL & LSW LifeCycle Solution Availability & Options
Issue Age Min Face Amount Max Face Amount Rate Class Riders 0-85 (age nearest birthday) $250,000 Subject to underwriting & reinsurance Six rate classes that vary on clients’ combined rate classifications ABR: Terminal, Chronic & Critical Add’l Protection Benefit Balance Sheet Benefit Death Benefit Protection Estate Preservation LIBR Policy Split Options Overloan Protection* Survivor Protection Systematic Allocation Accelerated Benefits Riders – Available to be added to policy after first death. ABR Terminal, Chronic and Critical are available. Balance Sheet Benefit Rider – waives surrender charges in exchange for level commissions. This rider is ideal when there is a need to have a high ratio of premium to cash value in the early years of the policy. Death Benefit Protection Rider – Guaranteed death benefit protection for up to 30 years Estate Preservation Rider: Provides four years of second-to-die term coverage LIBR –Once elected, the Lifetime Income Benefit Rider can provide an income guaranteed for life. Policy Split Option – PSO: change in federal estate tax law or a divorce between the insureds. In these cases, PSO provides for splitting the survivorship policy into two individual permanent policies on favorable terms. The exchange date will be the issue date of the new policies, however, the exchange does not trigger new suicide or incontestability periods. There is no current charge for the rider. A $200 administrative fee is charged at the time of the split. Overloan Protection Rider – The Overloan Protection Rider (OPR) protects a policy from lapsing as a result of the loaned amount exceeding the accumulated cash value. This feature can prevent a tax liability as a result of a policy lapse due to being over-loaned. The policy holder will be notified of this rider option when all conditions have been met including that the policy has been inforce for 15 years, and the insured having attained age 75. When the rider is put into effect, the policy becomes “paid-up”. At this time, there are no future premiums or charges due. Loans and withdrawals are no longer available. Availability: Issue Ages: 0 – 85 The Overloan Protection Rider is not available in pension sales. This rider will automatically be added to all eligible policies at new issue. Conditions for exercising the rider: • Policy is in corridor • Loans at least equal to 95% of policy’s accumulated cash value • Policy is in force for at least 15 years • This rider is not available with CVAT • Insured has attained the age of 75 • There is a charge when the rider is exercised. Survivor Protection Rider – provides first death protection. Takes the guess work out of which of the two insured may die first and which to provide 1st death term protection for. Insures both lives and pays a benefit at the first death. Systematic Allocation – available for large premiums including 1035 exchange amounts and renewal buckets. Instead of have the interest credits based on a single point, premiums/renewal allocations are spread over 12 months resulting in 12 points to base interest credits on. *Substantial limitations apply to exercising the Overloan Protection Rider, including that the policy be in force for at least 15 years and the insured having attained the age of 75.

5 Individual vs. Survivorship?
One Insured Need for death benefit protection for both insureds Need for ABR benefits on both insureds Wants to have their policy purchased through their pension plan Two Insureds Most concerned about death benefit at the second death Possibly looking for some death benefit protection at the first death Health issues or not insurable ABR benefits for Surviving Insured You have a client or clients with a need for life insurance. How do you determine which product makes sense. Read bullets Consider Individual Policies Consider Survivorship Policies

6 Value isn’t always measured in Dollars and Cents
One Policy vs. Two The choice between two individual policies or a Survivorship policy may not always be based on financial analysis “Dollars and Cents”. You will have clients that make their decision on their financial analysis but you will have other client’s that decisions are based on ease of purchase. Is your client the type that will always go to the bank and take a cash withdrawal to avoid the ATM fees? Or are they willing to pay the fee for the ease of doing business through an ATM? Knowing your client’s style will help you in building your presentation and product recommendation. Value isn’t always measured in Dollars and Cents

7 Survivorship Sales Ideas

8 When Survivorship Is The Product of Choice
Case facts Husband and wife; husband primary bread winner Husband has some health issues Both husband and wife need a survivor benefit Interested in the Tax-Free Retirement Strategy Insure just the Husband Insure just the Wife There are times when LifeCycle Solution may be the preferred product choice. Review case assumptions and reasons why insuring just the husband or just the wife doesn’t make sense. Husband’s health caused increased cost of insurance and was draining the premium that could be allocated to CV accumulation. Lower cost to acquire insurance and greater potential to accumulate CV. However, what happens if husband dies first? How would future premiums be paid when husband’s income was gone? The use of cash value life insurance to provide a tax-free source of retirement assumes that there is first a need for the death benefit protection. Policy loans and withdrawals reduce the policy’s cash value and death benefit and may result in a taxable event. Withdrawals up to the basis paid into the contract and loans thereafter will not create an immediate taxable event, but substantial tax ramifications could result upon contract lapse or surrender. Surrender charges may reduce the policy’s cash value in early years.

9 Insure both Husband and Wife
When Survivorship Is The Product of Choice Insure both Husband and Wife Provides death benefit protection on both insureds Better underwriting through a 2nd-to-die policy for health issues than an individual insurance policy Survivor Protection Rider provides first death protection that can be used to fund future premiums Lower cost over purchasing two individual IUL policies ABR Benefits after the first death to protect survivor should they become ill Lifetime Income Benefit Rider can address a concern of living too long

10 Being an Advocate We have many white pages and sales strategies for our survivorship products on NLGroupU. Here’s one of my favorites… An Advocate’s Story Christopher Huchro, an agent from the Northern New England Agency, worked with an older couple who had no children. He found them inspiring. They were actively involved in their local church, volunteered at their local hospital and worked closely with several charities which they wanted as their beneficiaries. “They reminded me of my own grandparents. Selfless people, hard working and very involved with their church,” said Huchro. The couple had many loose assets which, working with Christopher, they organized using the American Gift Fund to help minimize the taxable event and named their charities as the beneficiaries. A Benefit for the Community Years later the couple passed away. Because of the proper planning Christopher put in place their estate was successfully paid out to the charities. Money was donated in their name to improve their local education system. Over 100 iPad tablets were purchased to incorporate into local schools’ curricula. As an advocate for his clients, Christopher ensured their legacy would be felt throughout the community as the schools were improved.

11 Multigenerational Planning
Most of us would like to provide for our children, and what grandparent wouldn’t want to do something nice for their grandchildren? The typical challenge is being sure our own retirement needs are provided for first and foremost, and then doing what we can for future generations with what’s left. That’s a very reasonable and rational position to take, but wouldn’t be nice if there were a way to provide for both ourselves and our family with what we currently have? Unfortunately, recent market performance and the uncertainties of the future make that a difficult proposition. There is a way to accomplish both on a cost-effective basis through the use of – wait for it – life insurance. While we can only divide our existing assets up in so many ways to cover future generations, we have the potential to create an asset on a deeply discounted basis that will both provide for future generations and preserve our existing assets for our own use and enjoyment in our retirement. I’m now going to pass it the mic over to Pat Lang to discuss some of our trust options for multigenerational planning. Irrevocable Life Insurance Trust (ILIT) “Dynasty Trust” Grantor Retained Annuity Trust (GRAT) Survivorship Standby Trust Cash Values for Emergencies Death Benefit Excluded from Survivor’s Estate

12 Grandparent or Parent Gifting Opportunity*
Grandparent makes annual gift to trust Trust uses gift as premium source Trust purchases Insurance policy insuring Grandparent and Grandchild Trust is Owner and Beneficiary Survivor Protection Rider, payable at grandparent’s death, can be used to pay ongoing premiums After grandparent’s death, the Accelerated Benefit Riders can be added to provide benefits during Grandchild’s lifetime in the event of Terminal, Chronic or Critical Illness Trustee can use policy cash value, through loans and withdrawals, to make lifetime distributions to Grandchild for such needs as college expenses, home purchase etc.2 Retirement Income can be guaranteed for life once the Lifetime Income Benefit Rider is exercised Death proceeds ultimately create a legacy for Grandchild’s family Grandparents often give CDs or savings accounts to their grandchildren as gifts. Survivorship life insurance, insuring the Grandparent (or Parent) and Grandchild (or Child), may be a better solution. This concept accomplishes a number of objectives by providing the potential for: A gifting / legacy plan that reduces the grandparent’s estate and ultimate taxes Lifetime insurance coverage for grandchild The opportunity to take distributions through loans and withdrawals – potentially income tax free – for the grandchild’s lifetime needs such as education, home purchase, starting a business or retirement. Review flow chart **** RESTRICTIONS OF SURVIVOR PROTECTION RIDER ******** Provides term coverage on a joint first-to-die basis. Overview The Survivor Protection Rider offers LifeCycle Solution policy owners more death benefit flexibility than a traditional SIUL policy would by providing a death benefit at the first death. Payout Options The death benefit will be defined as a period certain and can be paid out one of two ways: • Income Stream • Lump Sum If the Beneficiary chooses to receive the benefit as a lump sum, the benefit will be discounted. The default death benefit will be paid as an income stream to the beneficiary. If the beneficiary decides to take the death benefit as an income stream, they then have the option to receive benefit payments directly into the policy as premium payments. Minimum Payout Years: 1 Maximum Payout Years: 30 Availability This rider may be added after issue and increase segments may be added after issue. Minimum Coverage Amount: $25,000 based on lump sum equivalent Maximum Coverage Amount: 2 x the sum of Base and APB coverage amounts The insureds must be the same two insureds on the base policy. The beneficiary may be named separately from the base policy beneficiary. Both insureds must be between the ages of 20 and 70, inclusive of issue ages 20 and 70. Charges This rider will have a charge per thousand of coverage, commissionable target premiums, minimum monthly premiums and monthly guaranteed premiums. Riders are optional, may be available at additional cost, and may not be available in all states. *Assumes Grandparent dies first 1. Receipt of Accelerated Benefits will reduce the Cash Value and Death Benefit otherwise payable under the policy, may result in a taxable event, and may affect your client’s eligibility for public assistance programs. 2. Policy loans and withdrawals will reduce the policy’s cash value and death benefit and may result in a taxable event. Surrender values in the early years may reduce policy values. 3. Certain criteria must be met to exercise the rider including but not limited to the insured’s attained age being between age 60 and 85, and that the policy has been in-force at least 10 years. Insufficient policy values, outstanding policy loans and other considerations may also restrict exercising the rider. Receipt of income benefits will reduce the policy’s cash value and death benefit and may terminate other riders or reduce their benefits.

13 Special Needs Planning
The term “special needs” may bring up many images. A child who is born with physical or mental challenges who needs lifetime care. An adult who has incurred an injury and needs a little assistance. A teenager who has been hurt in a car accident and has an unknown prognosis as to independence. A family that has to consider the emotional, financial, and strategic impact of taking care of a special needs person. These images, and others, do not really tell us the details about a family’s overall situation or what they may or may not have in common. However, it is fair to say that many special needs families do have a commonality of purpose – that is to take care of the special needs person, to take care of the care givers, and to take care of the rest of the family. Of course, depending upon the specifics of a situation, there are a myriad of options available to help clients meet their purpose. Continue financial stability for the surviving caregiver, the special needs person, and other dependent family members Provide a stable inheritance to special needs person after death of both caregivers Special Needs Trust

Surrender charges may reduce the policy’s cash value in early years.

27 Example - Accumulation Phase
55-year-old purchases $100,000 SecurePlus Preferred 6 with the Preferred 6 GLIR LSW SecurePlus Preferred 6 Accumulation Value Day One $100,000 3%* Average Interest Credited Annually Net Of Rider Charges (*This is a hypothetical rate, and it is not guaranteed. The rate will vary.) AV End of Year $134,392 Guaranteed Lifetime Income Rider Benefit Calculation Base Day One ,000 6.0% Compounding Roll Up Rate End of Year ,829 To understand the mechanics of the rider let’s look at an example of how an LSW indexed annuity and its Guaranteed Lifetime Income Rider works. If a 55-year old contributes $100,000 to a SecurePlus Marquee 10 with the Marquee 10 GLIR. On the left you will see how the annuities accumulation value might grow. This is a hypothetical example. Day one, the Accumulation Value is $100,000. Over a 10-year period, the annuity’s accumulation value increases at a 3 percent interest rate (hypothetical rate…the rate could be higher or lower, depending on the index’s performance and the current caps and participation rate), net of the rider charges. The accumulation value after 10 years is $134,392. Now, let’s look at the right side, the Marquee 10 GLIR. Day one…the Benefit Calculation Base is 110,000, reflecting the 100,000 single premium and 10 percent bonus accumulation value. This amount is not an account value. It is used solely to determine the guaranteed withdrawal payment. The current rollup rate is 7%. In 10 years, the benefit calculation base increases to 216,387.

28 Example - Distribution Phase
Guaranteed Withdrawal Payments are elected at Age 65, Level Income Option SecurePlus Preferred 6 Accumulation Value (example only) End of Year $134,392 GWP $ 8,542 AV after Withdrawal $125,850 3.75% interest* $ 4,719 (*Hypothetical rate) Rider Charge $ 1,173 $129,396 BAV Transfer $ 1,612 AV end of yr $122,466 Guaranteed Lifetime Income Rider Benefit Calculation Base End of Year ,829 Lifetime Income Calculation 189,829 X 4.5% (Guaranteed Withdrawal age of 65) $8,542 Guaranteed Income for Life The greater of the Accumulation Value or Benefit Calculation Base Now let’s look at the distribution phase… The person elects to take guaranteed withdrawal payments at age 65, 10 years later. On the left, the Accumulation Value is 134,392 and the Benefit Calculation Base on the right is 216,387. At the time of election, LSW compares Accumulation Value versus the Benefit Calculation Base. Since the benefit calculation base is higher, LSW uses this amount and multiplies it by the Guaranteed Withdrawal Percentage at the attained age of 65 which is 5 percent. The 216,387 is multiplied by 5 percent to get an annual guaranteed withdrawal payment of $10,819 for life, even if the accumulation value goes to zero. Once Guaranteed Withdrawal Payments are elected, the Benefit Calculation Base ceases to exist. Now, how do the Guaranteed Withdrawal Payments work with the Annuity’s Accumulation Value. The Guaranteed Withdrawal Payment of 10,819 is subtracted from the Annuity’s Accumulation Value. The AV after the GWP is $123,572. Let’s say the annuity is credited 3.75% interest. The amount of $ 4,634 is added to the accumulation value. Then LSW will subtract the rider charge of $1,090. The Accumulation Value at the end of year 11 is $127,116, then the next guaranteed withdrawal payment of $10,819 is paid out and lastly the AV transfer of $2,564 is added in. Then this same process keeps repeating itself. Again, there is no annuitization required, so if the policyowner were to die at the end of the 11th year, his or her beneficiary would receive the annuity’s Accumulation Value.
