Cost-effective life insurance with upside potential and downside protection Presented by… Policies issued by American General Life Insurance Company ("AGL“)

2 Life insurance provides your clients with the security of providing for their families or business if they should die prematurely. But when purchasing life insurance they are faced with choices. Should they opt for the security of a fixed product with today’s low interest rates, or choose a variable product with inherent volatility? Now your clients have the opportunity to benefit from both worlds.

13 Benefits of Accelerated Access Solution
101(g) No LTC license necessary: only Life / A&H 2-out-of-6 ADLs or severe cognitive impairment Deemed to be permanent Indemnity No receipts, spend benefits on anything Choose your total AAS Benefit Base Minimum = greater of 50% of DB or $50,000 Maximum = lesser of 100% of DB or $1,500,000 Maximum Monthly Benefit = IRS Monthly Per Diem, with choice of 3 caps: 2% of AAS Benefit Base; 4% of AAS Benefit Base; or Per Diem 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. Regardless of which of the two triggers applies, the benefit will only be available if the impairment is deemed to be permanent. 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 AIG’s Indemnity version, you don’t need to provide an receipts or file any claims regarding your treatments. AIG 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 AIG begins sending the checks. Then you have two decisions to make: your aggregate benefit and your monthly benefit. Aggregate Benefit: Your aggregate benefit must be at least $50,000, and cannot be less than half of your total Death Benefit. So, for a $100,000 death benefit, your Accelerated Access benefit must be at least $50,000. For a $500,000 policy, the Accelerated Access benefit must be at least $250,000. Your aggregate benefit can also be no greater than your death benefit, and is subject to a maximum Accelerated Access benefit of $1,500,000. So, if your death benefit is $900,000, your maximum Accelerated Access Solution benefit is $900,000. If your death benefit is $1,800,000, your maximum aggregate Accelerated Access Solution benefit is limited to $1,500,000. Monthly benefit: AIG 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 AIG 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! 13

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 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, AIG 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. 14
