2 What Exactly Is Quality of Life Insurance? Quality of Life Insurance is life insurance with No-Cost Accelerated Benefit Riders. You and your agent will work together to decide which plan best fits your needs allowing you to personalize a plan for the different stages in your life. Quality of Life...Insurance could be a huge benefit to my husband and I. We both do freelance work, so we don t have a big company policy with a lot of benefits. Being able to customize a policy for each of us sounds great. It would give me peace of mind to be able to provide for my children, knowing that a lot of those concerns would be addressed and taken care of. 2 Lucinda, Focus Group Participant AGLAchoice SM Performer This plan is frequently chosen by responsible couples and parents, small business owners, and individual policyowners. Most often, customers who purchase an AGLAchoice Performer plan want access to their accumulated cash value in case of an emergency, or to use for a future major event (such as college funding or a dream vacation), and want to accomplish their goals on a defined budget. AGLAchoice SM Protector This plan can be an excellent alternative to a traditional Term Insurance policy. Clients who purchase an AGLAchoice Protector plan are typically younger than the average life insurance buyer, and their goals often include protecting a mortgage and providing a dependable monthly income in the event of a disability. AGLAchoice Protector buyers are often young families just starting out in life who want to provide for their families, but are often on a tight budget. This product provides coverage at an affordable rate. AGLAchoice SM Accumulator This plan offers clients the best potential to accumulate substantial cash value over time. AGLAchoice Accumulator buyers are typically couples and parents, small business owners or single policyowners who are more financially secure than the average life insurance buyer, and may want to use their life insurance cash value to supplement their retirement on a tax favored basis. AGLA ConsumerChoice Term SM With this plan, you choose the benefit period that fits your needs either 10 years, 12 years, or any period from years. AGLA ConsumerChoice Term covers a broader range of specific life events and offers a powerful new way to customize your life insurance plans to anticipate known future events. This policy is a good choice for families who need to cover temporary insurance needs, such as making sure a mortgage is protected, providing college tuition for their children or covering start-up costs from a small business. And if your circumstances change, this policy may be converted to permanent coverage. The No-Cost Accelerated Benefit Riders that make Quality of Life Insurance so innovative are included on all of these plans. Your agent can help you decide which plan works best for you.

3 Preserving Your Quality of Life Accelerated Benefit Riders: About 2.2 million Americans experienced medical bankruptcy in Among those illnesses that led to bankruptcy, out of pocket costs averaged $11,854 since the start of illness; 75% had insurance at the onset of illness. 1 Even with the best plans, the unexpected can happen such as a critical illness or a long-term chronic illness or condition. The costs associated with treatment, as well as possible income lost if you are unable to work, can threaten your quality of life. Quality of Life...Insurance is designed to let you use your life insurance benefits when you need them most. This innovative life insurance policy can help pay the direct costs of treatment for qualifying illnesses or conditions or any other indirect expenses. Quality of Life...Insurance would be important for me and my family because you never know how your income situation is going to change if you or someone in your family became ill. You can never anticipate what could happen and when you would need protection. Quality of Life...Insurance is an allencompassing product and I think it s a very flexible product. Pat, Focus Group Participant ChronicCare Income Accelerated Benefit Rider The potential need for long term care and how to pay for it is a major concern for families today. In a 2008 study, the average annual cost for a private room in a nursing home was $76,460 - up 17% since By the time you and your family need care, chances are this cost will have increased even more. People buy long term coverage for various reasons: They don t want to be a burden on their families. They want access to quality care. They want to protect their savings. They want control over their own healthcare situation. The ChronicCare Income Rider 3 (CCIR) is an accelerated benefit rider that is designed to be used as an economical alternative to traditional, cost-prohibitive long term care policies. It is available for an additional premium cost, and offers valuable benefits should you be diagnosed with a chronic illness or condition: You choose the amount of monthly benefit you want and how long that benefit would be payable to you. You can choose any benefit amount ranging from $1,000 to $8,400 per month (in $100 increments), with available payout periods of 24, 36, 48 or 60 months. One of my family members needed long term care, so I saw what devastation it caused financially. They were paying $2,000 or $3,000 a month for the care, which they really didn t have, and eventually ended up losing their home. I feel like in their last days it really took a lot of dignity away from them, and I would never want to be in that situation. Unlike many long term care policies, you choose how to spend your benefit on nursing home care, home health care or anything else you decide. Your benefits are payable without regard to expense incurred or confinement. Another attractive and affordable feature you should consider is the Extension of Benefit Rider 4, which could help provide protection in the event of an extended illness. At the end of the CCIR benefit period, this rider can pay the same benefit amount for an additional time period of your choice without further reducing your remaining life insurance benefit. A Cost of Living Adjustment Rider may also be added, which increases the Extension of Benefit Rider amount over time. Please note: The ChronicCare Income Rider is available on AGLAchoice Performer, AGLAchoice Protector and AGLAchoice Accumulator in most states. It is not available on AGLA ConsumerChoice Term.

The base life insurance amount would be reduced by the total amount paid out under the CCIR. Please note that the total CCIR amount that may be applied for is limited by the face amount of the insured s life insurance coverage available to accelerate, i.e., the total potential benefits that may be received cannot exceed the life insurance coverage. Brian, 4. To qualify to receive EOB rider benefits, the policyowner must be certified chronically ill at the end of the initial benefit period he or she elected under the ChronicCare Income Rider.

4 No-Cost Accelerated Benefit Riders Chronic Illness Accelerated Benefit Rider 1 This rider allows the owner to accelerate some or all of the Insured Person s base life insurance benefit in the event the insured is diagnosed with a chronic illness or condition. The Chronic Illness Accelerated Benefit Rider is included on every Quality of Life Insurance policy. Like the ChronicCare Income Rider, it provides benefits in the event of a chronic illness. With this rider, however, the specific benefit amount or benefit period is not selected in advance. The amount of benefit received is determined by the company when a claim is filed, and is payable to the insured as a lump sum, not in monthly installments. To qualify for benefits under the ChronicCare Income Rider or the no-cost Chronic Illness Accelerated Benefit Rider, the insured must be diagnosed with a chronic illness. This policy gives my husband and me peace of mind because we know there s going to be money there if we need it. We bought this policy because it s not just for when we die, we can use it while we re still alive. Betty, Quality of Life...Insurance Policyowner A chronic illness is an illness or physical condition that was initially certified by a licensed healthcare practitioner within the past 12 months and affects the insured person so that he or she: Is unable to perform at least two of the six Activities of Daily Living (ADLs); or Requires substantial supervision by another person to protect the Insured Person from threats to health and safety due to severe cognitive impairment. ADLs: Bathing, Dressing, Toileting, Transferring, Continence, Eating Critical Illness Accelerated Benefit Rider 1 This rider allows the owner to accelerate some or all of the Insured Person s base life insurance benefit in the event the insured is diagnosed with a critical illness or condition. The Critical Illness Accelerated Benefit Rider is included on every Quality of Life Insurance policy. A critical illness or condition is defined as one of the following: Heart Attack Major Organ Transplant Stroke Invasive Cancer Blindness End Stage Renal Failure Paralysis Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS or Lou Gehrig s disease) Terminal Illness Accelerated Benefit Rider 1 This rider allows the owner to accelerate some or all of the Insured Person s base life insurance benefit in the event the insured is diagnosed with a terminal illness or condition. The Terminal Illness Accelerated Benefit Rider is included on every Quality of Life Insurance policy. A terminal illness is defined as an illness or physical condition that is certified by a physician to be reasonably expected to result in the insured s death within 24 months 2 from the date of certification. FOOTNOTES 1. The maximum amount of life insurance benefit that may be accelerated is subject to the Maximum Elected Death Benefit, which is the lesser of the current life insurance benefit or a lifetime maximum amount of $1,500,000. Benefit eligibility is subject to limitations and/or Waiting Period, Elimination Period and exclusion requirements. Please read the rider carefully for a complete definition of benefits and the conditions applying to each rider months in Pennsylvania and D.C.

5 Accelerate means to receive a portion of the base life insurance benefit early, while the Insured is still alive, in the event of a covered illness or condition. There are several factors to consider before deciding whether acceleration is right for you: Acceleration will reduce the Insured Person s base life insurance benefit and policy values if any. This means there will be less benefit paid when the Insured dies. The actual payment received will be less than the portion of the base life insurance benefit accelerated. This means you will not get the full amount you accelerate because 1) it is paid prior to death, 2) it is subject to an actuarial discount, administrative charge and payment of any unpaid but due policy premiums. The amount of an Accelerated Benefit Rider benefit that may be offered is determined by the company after a claim is submitted and when accepted, is payable to the owner in a lump sum. The amount of an offered benefit will, in significant part, be dependent upon any change in mortality of the Insured Person in question between the time the applicable life insurance policy with Accelerated Benefit Riders was underwritten and the time any particular Accelerated Benefit Rider claim is filed and considered. Changes in health and other factors will have varying effects on the mortality of different Insured Persons. Circumstances will vary among individual Insured Persons. For an accelerated benefit to be payable, the policy must be in force on the date any accelerated benefit is paid (and not just on the date of any qualifying illness or condition). You should consider your options carefully before ever letting your coverage end for any reason, including the non-payment of premium, especially while a claim for any accelerated benefit is pending. If you are eligible, you will be offered the opportunity, when you receive your benefit election form, to purchase coverage to replace the amount accelerated. However, the costs of that coverage may be significantly higher. NOTE: Rider names, benefits and definitions may vary in some states and/or not be available in all states. 5

6 John is a 40-year-old male who purchases a $250,000 AGLAchoice Accumulator policy. John doesn t use tobacco, and qualifies for standard underwriting. He also purchases the ChronicCare Income Rider and elects a benefit of $3,000 per month for 36 months, and adds the Extension of Benefit Rider for an additional 36 months of extended coverage. Here are some hypothetical examples of how John might use his Quality of Life...Insurance policy during his lifetime: Example Event Base life insurance amount in force Life Event 1: No-cost Critical Illness Accelerated Benefit Rider Ten years after purchasing the policy, John is 50 when he suffers a serious heart attack. $250,000 Please note: The life insurance offered with Accelerated Benefit Riders is not stand-alone long term care insurance, disability income insurance or other insurance designed to cover specific costs associated with an illness or condition. Receiving benefits under the rider will reduce the amounts available for future acceleration under it and any other Accelerated Benefit Rider attached to the policy. It will also reduce the base life insurance benefit and the funds available to supplement retirement or other needs. The benefits paid under the rider may be less than what is needed to cover all of the costs associated with an illness or condition. Benefit amounts received under the ChronicCare Income Rider and Extension of Benefit Rider are chosen in advance by the owner and are payable without regard to actual expenses incurred or confinement. Even though accumulated cash value may be available to supplement retirement, it should not be relied upon as a significant source of retirement income. Your AGLA agent can provide you with details. Life Event 2: ChronicCare Income Rider Life Event 3: No-cost Terminal Illness Accelerated Benefit Rider John is now 60 and recovered from his heart attack. However, he now develops a chronic illness that leaves him unable to perform 2 of the 6 ADLs. John is 66 when he is diagnosed with terminal cancer. He dies at age 67. $200,000 $92,000 The values in this chart were calculated using current, non-guaranteed interest and cost of insurance rates, monthly administration fees and premium expense charge percentages as of January Therefore, they may be changed at any time for any reason. Your results may be more or less favorable. * Assumes payment of premiums necessary to keep policy in force. Premium assumed for sample policy is $ monthly. ** Benefits under the AGLA ChronicCare Income Rider are subject to limitations and exclusions, as stated in the rider. What if John had stayed healthy? Upon his retirement at age 65, John decides to go on an extended vacation. $250,000 Each payment of a Monthly Benefit Amount under the AGLA ChronicCare Income Rider will reduce the insured s base life insurance benefit and policy values. This means there will be less benefit paid when the insured dies. Your policy contract will have more information regarding how payment of benefits under the rider can impact your policy values. Please read it carefully. Benefits under the AGLA ChronicCare Income Rider are intended to be excluded from federal gross income under sections 7702B and 101(g) of the Internal Revenue Code. That notwithstanding, the benefits paid under the rider may still be deemed as taxable. If so, you may incur a tax obligation. Neither the company nor its agents are authorized to offer you tax advice. You should consult your accountant, attorney or other qualified tax consultant to assess the impact of any benefit paid under the rider. John dies at age 67 John passes away unexpectedly, shortly after returning from his trip. $250,000 less loan balance 6

7 How Does It Work? Action Result Effect on Policy John considers all his options and decides to accelerate $50,000 of his $250,000 policy for financial assistance during his recovery. When John files his claim, AGLA determines his benefit based on the severity of his illness and how much it affects his life expectancy. His claim offer may range from a minimum of $3,228 to a maximum of $39,079.* For example, if John s heart attack was mild and he is expected to fully recover, he may be offered a lesser amount. If his heart attack was severe and has significantly shortened his life expectancy, he will be offered a larger amount. John s heart attack was serious, so the company offers him $22,759.* John decides to accept the company s offer, and accelerates $50,000 of his base life insurance benefit, which reduces his remaining coverage to $200,000. John decides to use his ChronicCare Income Rider benefits, and files a claim to begin receiving $3,000 a month for 36 months which is the benefit amount and benefit period John chose when he purchased his policy.** After the 90-day elimination period, John receives $3,000 for 36 months, which helps him pay for home health care. At the end of the three years, John is still chronically ill, and his Extension of Benefit Rider payments begin. He receives $3,000 a month for an additional 36 months. John s base policy is reduced only by the benefits he receives from the ChronicCare Income Rider not by the payments from his Extension of Benefit Rider. Even though he has received a total of $216,000, his base life insurance is reduced by only $108,000 ($3,000 x 36 months). He now has $92,000 life insurance remaining. John doesn t want his family to be burdened with medical bills after he passes away, so he decides to file a claim under his Terminal Illness Accelerated Benefit Rider to accelerate another $50,000 of his remaining life insurance coverage. The company makes an offer to John to receive $44,100. If John accepts the company s offer, his life insurance will be reduced to $42,000. When John passes away at age 67, his family will receive the remainder of his death benefit $92,000 if he did not accept the company s offer, or $42,000 if he did. Since no accelerated benefits have been elected, and there are no outstanding loans, John decides to access his accumulated cash value. John receives $50,000 from AGLA. He and his wife truly have the vacation of a lifetime and travel the globe for two months. $50,000 is withdrawn from the policy as a preferred loan, where the interest charged for the loan is the same as the interest credited. His life insurance coverage is now $250,000 less the loan balance at time of death. John s family files a claim for the remainder of his life insurance benefit. John s beneficiaries (his wife, son and daughter) each receive their shares of $196,955, which is the amount of John s life insurance coverage of $250,000 less the loan balance of $53,045. His widow uses her portion to help supplement her retirement needs. His son makes a down payment on a family vacation home. John s daughter helps pay college expenses for John s grandson. John, his wife, his children and grandchildren all benefit from John s policy, which is terminated after the payments are made to the beneficiaries. 7

8 Disability Income Rider How Long Could You Financially Survive an Extended Disability? Consider the Facts: 51.2 million people in American have some level of disability. They represent 18 percent of the population. 1 If you didn t have good short term disability insurance through your employer, your bills would continue to grow while you were getting better. With this plan, you don t have that financial strain hanging over you. April Quality of Life Insurance Policyowner Men have a 43 percent chance of becoming seriously disabled during their working years, while women have a 54 percent chance. 2 A disabling injury occurs every 1.5 seconds. 3 The average disability claim lasts almost 13 months, and mortgage foreclosures due to disability occur 16 times as often as they do for death. Yet, more than 40 percent of full-time workers do not have coverage in the event of a short or long term disability to protect against a loss of income. 4 Despite all this, isn t it amazing that most Americans have little or no disability coverage? 1.

National Safety Council: as of April Financial Planning Association, Medical Issues, as of February

9 What Are Your Options? Deplete Your Savings Assuming 10 percent of income is saved each year, it will take 10 years to save one year s worth of income. Do you have enough in savings to last during an extended disability? Sell Your Assets Assuming a market exists, forced liquidation of assets can reduce their value. A single disabling event could consume the assets you ve worked a lifetime to accumulate. Ask Others for Assistance It is unlikely that a creditor would lend money to a disabled income earner. If you were able to secure a loan, a lengthy disability could make it difficult to pay that loan back. Rely on Spouse s Income Most lifestyles today are built on dual incomes. Would your spouse s income be enough to compensate for the loss of yours? Add the Disability Income Rider to Your Policy Pays you a portion of your income if you become disabled. Plan Options Benefits would begin after 2 Year Benefit period - 90 Days 5 Year Benefit period Days Plan Details: Issue ages Minimum monthly benefit - $500 Maximum monthly benefit* is the lesser of the following amounts: - $5,000 for the 2-year option, $3,500 for the 5-year option - $20 per $1,000 of life insurance purchased, rounded to the nearest $10, or - Percentage of Gross Monthly Income (see agent for details) Collect Social Security Disability Payments Sixty-nine percent of all initial disability benefit claims were denied from 1994 to (Annual Statistical Report on Social Security Disability Insurance Program, 2004) * The maximum amount of disability income available may be reduced by existing personal, employer-provided and/or state disability income coverages. 9

10 Universal Life Insurance Cash Value How do I make the most of it? Competitive Current Crediting Rates Plus Guaranteed Crediting Rates for Life Universal Life insurance products have an accumulation value on which interest is credited. Interest crediting rates vary depending on which life insurance plan you choose. Quality of Life...Insurance builds cash value, which I like. Now that I m a father, I know that I can use that money for college for my son. Or, I can use it for any emergencies that may come up. Yet my policy also provides me with a death benefit and Accelerated Benefit Riders if anything happens to me before I can build my cash value, so my family can maintain their standard of living. You have the option to use this accumulated value to supplement your retirement income, help pay educational expenses, start a small business, or pay off your home mortgage early. How, and whether, you use your money is up to you. Paid-Up Insurance Your protection needs change over time. You may decide you no longer wish to pay premiums, but want to keep an amount of permanent coverage. After the first policy year, you can use your cash value to purchase a fully paid-up life policy. 10 Kelly, Quality of Life Insurance Policyowner

11 Universal Life Insurance What Else Should I Know? AGLA s Universal Life policies are flexible-premium, adjustable life insurance policies that accumulate cash value. The cash value is credited each month with interest, and the policy is debited each month by a cost of insurance (COI) charge and any other administrative fees. The advantage of a Universal Life policy is its flexibility. Universal Life is flexible in two primary ways: The death benefit can be increased (subject to insurability) or decreased without surrendering the policy or getting a new one, and premiums may be adjusted up or down (subject to policy restrictions), allowing policyowners to put more or less money into the policy as they see fit. Why Universal Life? You have three Universal Life policies to choose from when purchasing your Quality of Life...Insurance policy. Each of these policies, while very different, offers the benefits and flexibility you should expect in a Universal Life plan. Cash values of Universal Life policies can be responsive to changing market interest rate environments, which may give opportunities for cash value appreciation. Universal Life policies combine tax-free death benefits and tax-deferred accumulations of cash values. Unlike the fixed premiums of a whole life or term policy, Universal Life premiums may be adjusted to better meet changing budget needs. The ability to vary the death benefit makes the adjustable face amount feature a valuable benefit. Universal Life policies offer access to cash values with partial surrenders or loans. Please note: AGLAchoice Performer, AGLAchoice Protector and AGLAchoice Accumulator are Universal Life plans. AGLA ConsumerChoice Term is a term policy and does not offer the same benefits and features as Universal Life insurance. Death Benefit Options A Universal Life policy typically allows the owner to choose between two different death benefit options. AGLA refers to these as Option A (Level) and Option B (Increasing). In addition, the owner can change the death benefit option after the first policy year.* Option A: The death benefit remains level as the accumulation value grows. Option B: The death benefit increases as the accumulation value grows. Which option is best for you depends on your individual needs and plans. An AGLA agent can help you determine whether an increasing or level death benefit is right for you. However, each of these products does offer no-cost Accelerated Benefit Riders. Please consult your agent to see which Quality of Life... Insurance product is best for you.

13 AGLAchoice SM Performer AGLAchoice Performer is recommended most frequently for responsible couples and parents, business owners, and individual policy owners. Most often, customers who purchase these plans want access to their accumulated cash value in case of an emergency, or to use for a future big event (such as college funding or a dream vacation), and want to accomplish their goals on a defined budget. AGLAchoice Performer has a 5% guaranteed minimum interest crediting rate for the first seven policy years and a feature that protects your excess monies paid from early surrender charges. In addition, you can tailor your policy to match your specific needs. This includes flexible payments, a flexible death benefit and the ability to add or delete coverage and riders in the future 1. These policies remain in force as long as enough cash value is maintained to cover policy expenses and mortality charges. Competitive Current Crediting Rates Plus A 5% Guaranteed Rate for the First Seven Years Universal life insurance products have an accumulation value on which interest is credited. While AGLAchoice Performer may offer higher than guaranteed current interest crediting rates, we guarantee a minimum interest crediting rate of 5 percent for the first seven years, and 2.25 percent thereafter. You can use this interest rate to build cash for supplemental retirement income, help pay educational expenses, or pay off your home mortgage early. How or whether you use such value is up to you. Protected Money During the first five years of your policy, monies paid above benchmark premium as described in the policy are available to you without surrender charges. Whether it is cash value transferred from an older life insurance policy or money from a maturing bank CD, anything you pay above the monthly benchmark premium will be protected from surrender charges and available for you to use as you see fit. 1 Possible uses for Protected Money may include: Financial emergency fund Vacations College funds Large purchases Business opportunities There is a $25 administration charge for withdrawing Protected Money. Also, using Protected Money may reduce the policy death benefit and specified amount. Your decision on whether or not to take advantage of Protected Money depends on your specific financial needs and situation. It is important to talk to an AGLA agent about which options might be right for you. Paid-Up Insurance Your protection needs change over time. You may decide you no longer wish to pay premiums, but want to keep an amount of permanent coverage. After the first policy year, you can use your cash value to purchase a fully paid-up life policy. 2 Other Benefits and Riders 3 Our no-cost Chronic, Critical and Terminal Illness Accelerated Benefit Riders are included with our Quality of Life Insurance policies.

19 AGLA ConsumerChoice Term SM Historically, term life insurance has been a good solution for millions of American families who need life insurance coverage at affordable rates. Traditional term insurance provides affordable, guaranteed death benefit coverage for a specific period of time. People buy term insurance when they have temporary insurance needs. Some examples include making sure their mortgage would be protected, providing college tuition for their children, or covering start-up costs from a small business. Term insurance can provide for these needs for families on a tight budget. But if your circumstances should change, the conversion feature allows you to exchange your term policy for a permanent life policy without providing evidence of insurability. Why should I choose AGLA ConsumerChoice Term? You Choose Your Benefit Period Life doesn t always fit into neat five-year term periods (which is typical for most term products). With AGLA ConsumerChoice Term, you choose how long you want coverage. For example, if there are 24 years remaining on your mortgage, it may not make sense for your family to purchase a 30-year term plan. Insurance companies typically offer a basic solution for everyone in a 10, 15, 20, or 30 year plan. But in reality, everyone has different needs for insurance coverage. And by selecting only the term coverage you need, you avoid paying unnecessary costs associated with a longer duration. AGLA ConsumerChoice Term may be purchased for level premium periods* of: 10 Years 12 Years Any period from Years You Can Convert Your Policy to Permanent Coverage Circumstances change. Your AGLA ConsumerChoice Term policy may be a good decision for you now, but if your life changes in the future, you may decide that permanent coverage is best for you. Purchasing permanent coverage can allow you to protect your family and loved ones for your entire lifetime, not merely for a specified term period. Each AGLA ConsumerChoice Term policy includes an Accelerated Benefit Rider special conversion expiry date, which allows you to convert your term policy to a permanent policy with ABRs, without providing evidence of insurability. This provision begins on the issue date of the contract and expires on the 24 th policy month. A conversion to a permanent plan of insurance without Accelerated Benefit Riders is allowed without evidence of insurability during the policy's conversion period. The conversion period is 80% of the level premium period not beyond the Insured's age 75. Ask your agent for details. *Based on age and tobacco usage.
