    Level: Face Amount
    Increasing: Face Amount plus policy value

    These amounts may be increased to meet IRS guidelines

Guaranteed Minimum Interest Rates:
  • Global Index Account: 0.75%

    S&P 500® Account: 0.75%

    Basic Interest Account: 2%

Policy Value:
  • The Policy Value is the starting point for calculating important values under the policy, such as the Cash Surrender Value and the net death benefit. There is no guaranteed minimum Policy Value. The policy may lapse if there is not sufficient Policy Value to pay the Monthly Deductions, the surrender charge and/or any outstanding loan amount and accrued loan interest. The Policy Value is comprised of the value of the Basic Interest Account, the Global Index Account, and the S&P 500® Index Account and the policy loan reserve.

Surrender Charges:
    • Charge
      Per $1,000 of the initial Face Amount and for each increase in face amount.
    • Period for Charge
      The surrender charge applies for the first 15 policy years and for 15 years from the date of any Face Amount increase.
    • Basis for Charge
      Face Amount, Insured's issue age, gender and risk class.

     

    These charges may be significant and should be carefully considered before surrendering the contract.

Cash Surrender Value:
  • If the policy is surrendered, the Cash Surrender Value of the policy is equal to the policy value less any applicable surrender charges and any loan balance. A surrender charge may result in the Cash Surrender Value of the policy being zero. As a result, this policy is not intended for short term savings or short term insurance needs. Excess Index Interest is not credited for partial years on any Index Account Segment.

Withdrawals*:
    • Minimum
      $500
    • Maximum
      Cash Surrender Value minus $500.
    • Charge
      $25

     

    Excess Index Interest for a Segment Period will not be credited on amounts taken as withdrawals from an Index Account Segment prior to the end of the Segment Period.

Loans*:
    • Minimum 
      $500
    • Maximum
      Cash Surrender Value minus loan interest that will accrue prior to the next anniversary.
    • Availability
      After the free look period ends.

    Excess Index Interest for a Segment Period will not be credited on amounts taken as loans from an Index Account Segment prior to the end of the Segment Period.

Transfers:
  • Transfers from an Index Account to any other account are only allowed at the end of the Index Account Segment Period. Transfers from the Basic Interest Account to an Index Account are only allowed on the first day of a policy month, which generally does not correspond to the calendar month.

     


    Automatic Transfer Rule

    • By default, renewing segments roll over to the same account type (for example S&P 500® Index Account rolls over to S&P 500® Index Account, Global Index Account rolls to the Global Index Account, and the Basic Interest Account rolls to the Basic Interest Account) unless the owner gives specific transfer instructions prior to the segment renewal. The owner can submit the Index Universal Life Insurance Automatic Transfer Request Form (at issue or anytime thereafter) to override the default with a specified Index Account Automatic Transfer Rule (ATR), which allows transfers to happen automatically upon renewal of the Segment.
Monthly Deductions**:
  • Monthly Deductions are taken from the policy value on each Monthly Policy Date. The Monthly Policy Date is the same day of each month as the Policy Date. The Monthly Deduction consists of the cost of insurance, Monthly Policy Fee, Monthly Expense Charge, charges for additional benefits provided by riders and any charges for substandard class ratings. Monthly Deductions will be taken from the Basic Interest Account, the S&P500® Index Account and Global Index Account in proportion to the values of those accounts on the Monthly Policy Date the deduction is taken. Monthly Deductions will first be taken from the highest numbered Segment and then from the next highest numbered Segment.

Monthly Policy Fee**:
  • Current: $10

    Guaranteed: $12

Monthly Expense Charge :
  • A charge per thousand of the Face Amount of the Base Policy and Additional Insured Rider. This charge varies by gender, tobacco use, age of the Insured and the Face Amount band.

    Base:
    On a current basis, the charge applies for ten years from issue and ten years from the date of any Face Amount increase.

    On a guaranteed basis, the charge applies for ten years from issue or increase date for ages 0-60 and through age 120 for issue ages 61-85.

    AIR:
    This charge applies to any Additional Insured Rider for eight years from rider issue date and eight years from the date of any increase in rider face amount.

Cost of Insurance Charges** (Monthly):
  • Charge varies based on the Insured's Age, Underwriting Classification and gender, and the Policy's Face Amount and duration.

Premium Expense Charge:
  • Current
    Year 1: 4.0%
    Years 2-10: 6.0%
    Years 11+: 2%

    Guaranteed
    All Years: 6.0%

Index Account Monthly Charge:
  • 0.06% per month (0.72% annually) of the Index Account Value. Taken on the monthly policy date through age 120, from the highest numbered segment first.

     

    *Loans and withdrawals can only be made if the policy has been in force long enough and has accumulated sufficient value. Loans and withdrawals will reduce the cash value and death benefit and loans are subject to interest charges. Policy loans are generally not taxable when taken.  If a policy is surrendered or lapses while a loan is outstanding, adverse tax consequences may result. Cash withdrawals are also not generally taxable until they exceed basis in the policy. However, if the policy is treated as a modified endowment contract (MEC) by IRC Sec. 7702A, withdrawals and loans are taxable at an ordinary income tax rate when taken to the extent of gain then in the contract and may also be subject to a 10% federal income tax penalty if taken prior to age 59½. Cash distributions associated with benefit reductions, including reductions caused by withdrawals during the first 15 years, may be taxable. Consult with your tax advisor regarding your particular situation.

    **The Company has the right to change current charges and cost of insurance rates. The Company may not charge more than the guaranteed maximum charges or rates. Any changes to charges or rates will be based on our expectations as to future cost factors. Such cost factors may include, but are not limited to, mortality, interest, persistency, expenses, reinsurance costs and state and federal taxes.

Terminal Illness Accelerated Death Benefit Endorsement***:

The minimum amount allowed is $10,000.


    The policy owner can request multiple accelerations, up to the maximum. There is an administration charge for each acceleration deducted from the proceeds when the endorsement is exercised. The charge is $350 for the calendar year 2013 and is subject to increase with the Consumer Price Index after 2013.

Income Protection Option:
  • This no-cost feature provides the policy owner the option to structure the death benefit with an initial lump sum ($10K minimum), monthly income payments ($100/mo. minimum), and/or a final lump sum ($10K minimum). The monthly income payments can be extended over a period between 5 and 25 years. Beneficiaries cannot alter timing or amount of the IPO.

Overloan Protection Rider****:
  • As long as certain requirements are met, the OPR provides the policy owner with an option to prevent a policy lapse from occurring due to excessive loans. If such requirements are met and the policy owner chooses to exercise the option, the policy will become a paid up policy keeping the policy in force, preventing loans from being taxable while still providing a small death benefit to the insured's beneficiaries.

    The OPR is automatically included at issue on all GPT, non-MEC policies and there is no charge for this rider unless it is exercised. Once the OPR is exercised, there is a one-time charge assessed as a percentage of the policy value, based on the age of the insured (see chart).

     

    Age Percentage
    75-90 5%
    91 4%
    92 3%
    93 2%
    94-120 1%

The policy’s benefits and values will be reduced proportionally in accordance with the benefits advanced under this endorsement. Benefits paid under this rider are generally federal income tax-free but may be subject to taxation under some business related policies. Clients should consult their tax advisor.

    **** The election to exercise the OPR is irrevocable. Once the Rider Benefit has been exercised, all other riders attached to the policy will terminate and no further policy activity will be allowed. Also, no further loans will be allowed, but loan interest will continue to accrue.
