Nature of Plan: PruLink Heritage Account is a regular premium investment-linked policy that allows you to invest in a wide range of PruLink Funds we have established. Assurance charges are paid for a limited period only. It also offers financial protection against death, Total and Permanent Disability and Terminal Illness.

2 What do we pay for Death Benefit? Upon the death of the life assured, we pay the value of all the units in your Account plus the sum assured of the Death Benefit and minus any outstanding amounts owing to us, in a lump sum. If you have made any claim under Accelerated Terminal Illness (TI) Benefit and/or Total and Permanent Disability (TPD) Benefit, the sum assured of the Death Benefit shall be reduced accordingly to an amount equal to the difference between the sum assured of the Death Benefit and the sum assured of the Accelerated TI Benefit and/or TPD Benefit. If the life assured commits suicide within 12 months from the Cover Start Date of your policy or from the date of reinstatement (if any), we will void your policy. In this case, we cancel it and refund your premiums less any withdrawals, all outstanding amounts owing to us in connection with your policy and expenses. We use a premium refund formula as determined by us to work out the amount to be refunded to you. What do we pay for Accelerated TI Benefit? Upon the diagnosis of TI of the life assured prior to the anniversary of the policy on which the life assured turns 65, we pay the value of all the units in your Account plus the Accelerated TI Benefit and minus any outstanding amounts owing to us, in a lump sum. "Terminal Illness" is defined as a condition which, in the opinion of an appropriate medical consultant who is registered with the Singapore Medical Council and subject to the acceptance of our appointed doctor, is highly likely to lead to death within 12 months. TI in the presence of HIV infection is excluded. What do we pay for TPD Benefit? We pay the sum assured for TPD as shown in the table below: Age* at date of disability We pay below 1 year 20% of the sum assured in a lump sum and the policy terminates. 1 to 64 years 100% of the sum assured up to $2,000,000, 6 months after the confirmed onset of Disability (the "Deferment Period"^) by a Registered Medical Practitioner. Disability is the condition of being Totally and Permanently Disabled. ^ The Deferment Period does not apply if the life assured suffers: - total and permanent blindness in both eyes as confirmed by an ophthalmologist; or - severance of any two limbs excluding hands and feet;or - total and permanent blindness in one eye as confirmed by an ophthalmologist and severance of any one limb excluding hands and feet. * age attained at last birthday For any sum assured above $2,000,000, we pay the balance sum assured (i.e. any amount that is above $2,000,000) in a lump sum in any of the following, whichever event occurs first: - 12 months from the date of the first lump sum payment; or - on the death of the life assured. If the life assured stops being Totally and Permanently Disabled before the balance sum assured is due for payment, we stop payment immediately. In such a case, you can still continue your policy for the Death Benefit and TI Benefit by paying the required regular premiums where the sum assured shall be equal to the balance sum assured (i.e. any amount that is above $2,000,000). We will pay for either the TPD Benefit or the Accelerated TI Benefit but not both. Thus, if the life assured is also diagnosed as having a TI, we will not pay the Accelerated TI Benefit if we have already paid the TPD Benefit. However, if the sum assured of the Accelerated TI Benefit exceeds the sum assured of the TPD Benefit, the sum assured of the Accelerated TI Benefit shall be reduced to an amount equal to the difference between the sum assured of the Accelerated TI Benefit and the sum assured of the TPD Benefit.

3 Premium Allocation: A percentage of your regular premium is used to buy units at the offer price in the PruLink Fund or Funds you have chosen. The table below shows the percentage of your regular premiums that is invested in a particular year. Year * Annual mode (%) Other modes; Monthly/ Quarterly/ Half yearly (%) Year Year Year Year Year 10 onwards * refers to the year in which you pay premiums We reserve the right to change the premium allocation rates in respect of year 10 and onwards but we will give you 30 days' written notice before doing so. PruLink Funds: Please refer to Appendix B for the list of available Investment-Linked Funds and the respective Fund Information Booklet for details on the investment funds you can invest under this policy. These investment funds shall be collectively known as "PruLink Funds" hereafter. Any single fund in the PruLink Funds shall be known as a "PruLink Fund" hereafter. Options: You have the choice to: 1. Vary Premium 1.1 You can increase the amount you pay as regular premium at any time if the life assured is under age 55. The increased portion of the premium amount is treated as "New Regular Premium" and starts from the date your next premium is due. In respect of the New Regular Premiums received in the future, after the initial investment, we reserve the right to change the premium allocation rates relating to such New Regular Premiums at any time as we may deem fit, by giving you 30 days' written notice. The increase in your regular premium will result in an increase in your sum assured. The monthly assurance charges for the increased portion of the sum assured will be charged for 25 years from the date your increase in premium becomes effective. This will form a separate stream of monthly assurance charges for 25 years from your existing stream of monthly assurance charges. Such monthly assurance charges will be based on the life assured's age next birthday as at the date of effective increase in premium. Once your increase in premium is effective you pay the total regular premium amount every time your premium falls due. 1.2 You can reduce the amount you pay as regular premium but the reduced amount must be equal to or more than any minimum amount we specify. The reduction starts from the date your next premium is due. After that, you pay the reduced regular premium every time your premium falls due. With the reduction in your regular premium, your sum assured will also be reduced subject to the minimum amount that we specify. This will also result in the reduction of the monthly assurance charges. In the event of any reduction against any New Regular Premium, the reduction of your sum assured will be made against the portion of your sum assured that was last increased.

4 2. Top up your premium You can pay an additional lump sum premium ("Top-Up Premium (Lump Sum)") at any time to increase your investment. The minimum Top-Up Premium (Lump Sum) is $2,000. We place the Top-Up Premium (Lump Sum) into the Investment Account. We use % of your Top-Up Premium (Lump Sum) to buy units at the offer price in the PruLink Fund or Funds you have chosen. We credit the units to your Investment Account. There is a net sales charge of 3% of your Top-Up Premium (Lump Sum) which currently comprises the initial investment charge (bid-offer spread) and the percentage of premium invested of your Top-Up Premium (Lump Sum). Example: Top-Up Premium (LumpSum) = $10,000 Bid price = 0.95 Offer price = 1.00 Allocation rate = % Number of units in the Account = $10,000 x % = 10, Value of total units = 10,211 x 0.95 = $9,700 Therefore, Net Sales Charge = 1 - $9,700 = 3.00% Aa $10,000 We reserve the right to levy (or vary) an administration charge for the Top-Up Premium (Lump Sum) feature at any time, but will not do so before giving you 30 days' written notice. 3. Switch fund(s) Once you have enough units in your Account(s), you can ask us to switch them to other PruLink Funds that are available. You must specify which Account (the Protection or Investment Account (if applicable)) you wish to switch out from. Funds from the different Accounts cannot be combined. They will remain separate even though you may choose the same fund to switch into. There is a minimum amount you can switch out of a PruLink Fund and this minimum amount will be made known to you at the time of your application to do the switch. The value of the remaining units in the PruLink Fund that you are switching out from cannot be lower than a stipulated minimum amount. To calculate the value of the remaining units, we use the bid price at the time the switch is carried out. If the value of the remaining units is lower than the stipulated minimum amount, you must switch all the units out of the fund. We reserve the right to vary, from time to time, the minimum amount you can switch out of a fund in respect of any new application to switch funds. This minimum amount will be made known to you at the time of your application to do the switch. We currently do not charge for fund switches. However, we reserve the right to levy a switching fee but will give you 30 days' written notice before doing so. 4. Make partial withdrawals You can make a partial withdrawal by asking us to sell some of the units from your Account(s). You must specify which Account (the Protection or Investment Account [if applicable]) you wish to withdraw from. You can only make a partial withdrawal if you have a minimum amount in your Account(s). The minimum amount you can withdraw is currently $1,000. The remaining units in your Account(s) must be worth at least $5,000 based on the bid price at the time of withdrawal. If not, you will not be able to make a partial withdrawal.

5 5. Select additional benefits according to your need(s) You may wish to add supplementary benefits that will provide additional coverage to your policy. These benefits are optional. Extra premiums are payable for the additional benefits. You can add these benefits only if they are available and the life assured is within the age limits at the time when the benefits are selected. 5.1 Crisis Waiver III: Waives future premiums of all the policy benefits covered upon diagnosis of any one of the 35 critical illnesses. The benefits covered will continue as if the premiums continue to be paid. 5.2 Early Stage Crisis Waiver: Waives future premiums of the covered benefits for a limited period upon diagnosis of early or intermediate stage medical conditions.

Payer Security III waives the remaining premiums of your child's policy till the policy anniversary before he or she turns 25, or the end of the premium payment term, whichever is earlier. Payer Security Plus provides a longer benefit term and it waives the remaining premiums of your loved one's policy until the policy anniversary before you reach 85, or the end of premium payment term, whichever is earlier. 5.4 Early Payer Security: Waives the premium payments for a fixed period upon diagnosis of early or intermediate stage medical conditions, so that you need not worry about losing your loved one's coverage while you can concentrate on your treatment. Refer to the respective Product Summary for detailed information on the above supplementary benefits. Exclusions: There are certain conditions under which no benefits will be payable.

No Lapse Period Within the first 5 years from the start date of your policy, your policy will not lapse even if the unit value in your Protection Account is insufficient to pay for your administration and assurance charges. The No Lapse Period ( NLP ) will be applicable only if: - you have paid all regular premiums when they fall due or back-paid all regular premiums due; and - you have not withdrawn any units credited to your Protection Account. If, during the first 5 years, the NLP does not apply because any of the above conditions were not met, you can reinstate the NLP for the remaining unexpired period of those 5 years by satisfying those conditions. The NLP will not, however, be extended beyond the said 5 year period even if the NLP were to be reinstated. Charges: The following charges will be levied on the policy where applicable. Unless otherwise stated, the charges will be funded through the cancellation of units at bid price.
