Portfolio Overview Basic vs. Plus Ohio National s 10-, 15- and 20-year level term insurance is available as Basic or Plus policies. Basic policies are just that they are less expensive and the conversion privilege is limited to a specific product chosen by the Company at the time of conversion. Additionally, not all riders are available with the Basic policies. Plus policies are value-oriented. For a nominal increase in price, they have expanded conversion options (see Conversion Privileges) and, currently, all riders are available on these policies. Premium Rate Bands Ohio National s term life insurance portfolio (except for YRT Plus II) has three premium rate bands based on the policy s death benefit: $100,000, $500,000, and $1,000,000. The top two bands provide a price break for clients requiring larger amounts of term life insurance a competitive advantage in large case markets. Underwriting Classes Our term portfolio has six underwriting classes: Super Preferred NS Preferred NS Select NS Standard NS Select Smoker (all tobacco) Standard Smoker (all tobacco) Having six rating classes allows the healthiest insureds to obtain the the best rates possible. Refer to our Life Underwriting Requirements Brochure (Form 6149) to determine which rating class is appropriate for your client. (Underwriting requirements also can be accessed in the illustration software.) Recap Term Recap Term is designed for clients who plan to convert their term life insurance policy to a permanent life insurance policy within the first five years of coverage. This product is ideal for clients who anticipate an increase in income in the near future, e.g., young doctors, dentists, or entrepreneurs. A 10-year guaranteed level premium policy, Recap Term is fully convertible to any available Ohio National permanent policy. All FlexTerm Series riders are available with this product. The unique benefit of Recap Term is the cumulative conversion credit. After the first year, this credit lets policyholders recapture all premiums paid on their term life insurance policy and apply them to any available permanent Ohio National life insurance product. The cumulative credit applies only during the second through fifth year of the policy. After the fifth policy anniversary, and through the tenth policy anniversary, the conversion credit is equal to one year s premium. The conversion credit does not apply to substandard premiums and is limited to a maximum of $5 per $1,000 per year of premium being applied as conversion credit. 2 YRT Plus II offers only Standard Unisex rates.
YRT Plus II YRT Plus II is an annually renewable term life insurance policy. The premium rates are fully guaranteed and increase on an annual basis. YRT Plus II is designed for your clients who need temporary protection and the option to renew for up to 10 years. It is convertible during the first three years to any available permanent life insurance policy. The actual underwriting class and gender will be used upon conversion. A conversion credit equal to the annual premium (up to $5 per $1,000 of face amount) is available. YRT Plus II has one underwriting class, Standard Unisex, and is not available for table-rated cases. The Waiver of Premium for Total Disability (WPD) Rider is the only rider available. There are no premium rate bands with this product. Note: No commission is paid on YRT Plus II sales. Conversion Privileges Term 10, Term 15 and Term 20 are convertible only to a product designated by the company, currently Virtus Basic, a universal life insurance policy. Term 10 Plus, Term 15 Plus, Term 20 Plus, Recap Term and YRT Plus II are convertible to any available Ohio National individual permanent life insurance policy. The contractual conversion right allows a term life insurance policy to convert only to an all-base permanent life insurance policy. However, our current practice is to allow conversion to a policy that is blended with an additional coverage rider or Plus Rider,* but only if the rider face amount represents no more than 50 percent of the total face amount of the combined policy. Current company practice is subject to change without notice. Term life insurance policies offer a noncommissionable conversion credit to policyholders after the first year. The credit is equal to one annual term insurance premium (except for Recap Term). Term life insurance riders do not count toward the conversion credit; only the premium for base policy face amount is used. The maximum annual premium that will count for conversion credit is $5 per $1,000 of face amount. Conversion is only available through the level term period of a policy, or the policy anniversary nearest the insured s 70th birthday, whichever occurs first. Conversion may only occur on a policy s monthly anniversary. Available products for conversion are limited to those available in the term life insurance policy s issue state at the time of conversion. * Additional Coverage Rider for V-Pro UL. Plus Rider for Prestige 100 whole life policies. 3

Payment of the benefit may not reduce the base policy below the minimum issue face amount for such policies. If the client exercises this option, a charge will be deducted from the policy s remaining death benefit. The charge varies according to current interest rates, but should generally not be more than 10 percent of the benefit taken.
