Important Notes These pages depict certain wealth preservation strategies concerning possible methods for taking distributions from your tax sheltered annuity or b Plan. This report provides only broad, general guidelines, which may be helpful in shaping your thinking about and discussing your wealth preservation needs with your professional advisors. This report provides estimates based on our general understanding of current tax laws. To illustrate the impact of various earnings rates over the projected period, it is important to consider multiple interest rate scenarios, including no growth. Each scenario shown illustrates your current situation or an alternative scenario and its possible effects on the financial situation you provided. Inclusion of one or more of these scenarios does not constitute a recommendation of that scenario over any other scenario. Calculations contained in this analysis are estimates only based on the information you provided, such as the value of your assets today, and the rate at which the assets appreciate. Investments offering the potential for higher rates of return also involve a higher degree of risk to principal. Rates of return will vary over time, particularly for long-term investments. The actual values, rates of growth, and tax rates may be significantly different from those illustrated. These assumptions are only a best guess. No guarantee can be made regarding values, as all rates are the hypothetical rates you provided. These computations are not a guarantee of future performance of any asset, including insurance or other financial products nor do they take into account fees and charges associated with any investment. If they did, the results would be lower. It is unlikely that any one rate of return will be sustainable over a long period of time. No legal or accounting advice is being rendered either by this report or through any other oral or written communications. Nothing contained in this report is intended to be used on any tax form or to support any tax deduction. Unless indicated, the tax aspect of the federal Generation-Skipping Transfer Tax (GSTT) is not reflected. The GSTT is similar to an additional level of estate tax on certain transfers to grandchildren, or individuals two or more generations removed from the transferor. State laws vary regarding the distribution of property, and individual circumstances are unique and subject to change. You should discuss all strategies, transfers, and assumptions with your legal and tax advisors. The American Taxpayer Relief Act of was signed into law on January, as P.L. -, also known as Tax Act of in this presentation. To implement a strategy, it may be necessary to restructure the ownership of property, or change designated beneficiaries before specific will or trust provisions, prepared by the client s counsel, become effective. The transfer of a life insurance policy may not result in its removal from the estate of the prior owner for three years. Strategies may be proposed to support the purchase of various products such as insurance and other financial products. When this occurs, additional information about the specific product (including a prospectus, if required, or an insurer provided policy illustration) will be provided for your review. IMPORTANT: The projections or other information contained in this report, and generated by this analysis tool (TSA Plan Distribution Analysis) regarding the likelihood of various outcomes are hypothetical in nature, do not reflect actual results and are not guarantees of future results. IRS CIRCULAR NOTICE: To ensure compliance with requirements imposed by the IRS, this notice is to inform you that any U. S. federal tax advice contained in this presentation is not intended or written to be used, and cannot be used, for the purpose of (i) avoiding penalties under the Internal Revenue Code or (ii) promoting, marketing or recommending to another party any transaction or matter addressed in this presentation.

Tax Considerations Understanding from Your Retirement Plan Your Objectives Tax Deferral Defer the payment of income taxes as long as allowed Security Use your retirement account to provide your family with continued distributions even after your death The Government's View of Retirement Plans Tax advantaged "perks" to encourage retirement savings TSA plans were never intended as a mechanism to pass wealth to future generations To discourage the use of TSA plans as wealth transfer vehicles, Congress created the required minimum distribution rules Distribution Rules Required Beginning Date (RBD) No later than April st of the calendar year following the later of the calendar year in which you become age 7½ or the calendar year in which you retire. Required Minimum (RMD) The amount you must take from your plan each year of TSA plan balance at owner's death are subject to ordinary income tax at beneficiary's tax rate How do you use these rules to meet your objectives? May, of 9
Decisions Regarding Your (b) or TSA Account Determining How Long Can Be Taken Beneficiary Designation determines who will benefit from your TSA plan and for how long. It involves: Naming the beneficiary(ies) Giving a spouse the ability to roll the TSA plan over to an IRA Deciding if and when to split the TSA plan into multiple TSA plans Your choice of beneficiary determines the life expectancy over which distributions can be taken after your death. The longer the life expectancy, the longer the distribution period Proper beneficiary designations may "stretch" distributions for a longer period of time TSA determine when and how much to take from your TSA plan. When will you start distributions? At the Required Beginning Date or earlier? Uniform Lifetime Table or Joint Life Expectancy Table Minimum distributions are based on life expectancy, which is determined annually using the Uniform Life Expectancy Table or Joint Life Expectancy Table (if your spouse is your beneficiary and is more than years younger).

Comparing Multi-Generational Approaches An Explanation of Different Techniques Traditional Rollover Approach You name Sue as your primary beneficiary for this TSA plan. You take minimum distributions using the Uniform Lifetime Table. Your lifetime distributions are $ at your death, at which time Sue rolls over TSA plan to an IRA. Sue names beneficiaries for the IRA. Minimum distributions are based on the Uniform Lifetime Table. Sue's lifetime distributions are $,77. At your death, Sue rolls over the IRA and takes minimum distributions based on the Uniform Lifetime Table. Sue's lifetime distributions are $,77. At Sue's death, if the IRA does not split into separate shares, distributions continue to each beneficiary based on the oldest beneficiary's life expectancy. The distributions to the beneficiaries are $,8,89. At Sue's death, the IRA is split into separate IRAs with named beneficiaries. continue to each beneficiary based on his or her life expectancy. The distributions to the beneficiaries are $,5,. Total : $,95,7 Split Benefit Rollover and Split Approach You name Sue as your primary beneficiary for this TSA plan. You take minimum distributions using the Uniform Lifetime Table. Your lifetime distributions are $ at your death, at which time Sue rolls over TSA plan to an IRA. Total : $,8,8 Split Benefit Non-Spouse Split Approach You and Sue decide that you will not need the TSA plan as a source of income. You take minimum distributions using the Uniform Lifetime Table. At your death, the TSA plan is split into separate TSA plans with named beneficiaries. continue to each beneficiary based on his or her life expectancy. The distributions to the beneficiaries are $,58,. Total : $,58, Although the intent is to show the beneficiaries stretching the distributions over as many years as possible, each beneficiary could elect to take his or her share in a lump sum. The estimated lump sum available at the spouse's death in the Traditional Rollover Approach would be $8,59 to be split among all named beneficiaries. The estimated lump sum available at the spouse's death in the Split Benefit Rollover and Split Approach would be $8,59 to be split among all named beneficiaries. The estimated lump sum available at the owner's death in the Split Benefit Non-Spouse Split Approach would be $5,779 to be split among all named beneficiaries. May, 5 of 9

The Key to Maximizing Keeping Your Plan Intact The key to maximizing income tax deferral and stretching out distributions to your heirs is to keep the IRA intact at death. IRS Significant Transfer Costs Are Incurred at Your Death How will the estate taxes and other transfer costs needed to keep your plan in place be paid? Where will the additional liquidity come from? Using the IRA not only accelerates income taxes on these funds but prevents the "stretching" of distributions over future generations Pay the additional liquidity needed from other assets wtihin the estate - assets that might otherwise be passed on and utilized for other planning purposes Or, pay the transfer costs attributable to the IRA transfer using life insurance owned by an irrevocable life insurance trust Your estate needs enough liquidity outside of the IRA to satisfy estate taxes and expenses attributable to the plan to achieve optimal multi-generational strategy. May, 5 of 9
Sources of Liquidity Ways to Pay Wealth Transfer Costs Use Cash On Hand Advantages Concerns It's easy to use It's always available No interest costs Who has that amount of cash? Cash is included in taxable estate May be better uses for cash Borrow the Money Advantages No immediate outlay Uses other people's money Single sum transfer Liquidating Assets Advantages No need to save during life No interest costs Concerns Can't find a buyer Asset values subject to market fluctuations Sale takes too long Assets are subject to estate tax Family may want to keep asset Concerns Can't find a lender Interest charges can be high Can you pay back the principal? Loan payments impede lifestyle Life Insurance Advantages Concerns Proceeds are generally Requires annual premiums paid income tax free Must qualify for insurance No interest costs Proceeds may not be estate tax free Flexible outlay options (if owned by the insured) Cash value accumulation Proceeds can be estate tax free May, 6 of 9
Assumptions Details and Assumptions for Split Benefit Calculations General Assumptions Sam's DOB: April 5, 98 and Sue's DOB: March 8, 95 Calculations assume that the value of All Other Assets (excluding life insurance) is equal to $5,. These assets are assumed to earn.% interest. Hypothetical rates of return illustrated are not associated with any particular investment product. Calculations assume an ordinary income tax rate of.%. The Account and Other Assets are grown pro-rata based on the date entered. Estate Assumptions Assumes portability of any unused Applicable Exclusion Amount at first spouse's death. Federal Inflation Rate for Applicable Exclusion Amount is.%. Traditional IRA/Qualified Plan Assumptions Current Traditional IRA/Qualified Plan amount is $,, which includes the original after-tax amount of $, and assumes a growth rate of 5.%. Calculations assume all non-deductible and after-tax contributions (also known as basis, investment in the contract, and non-taxable portion) are included in the original after-tax amount of $. Hypothetical rates of return illustrated are not associated with any particular investment product. A portion of the distributions from the Traditional IRA/Qualified Plan that includes any after-tax amount may not be taxable. These illustrations assume there are no other Traditional IRA/Qualified Plan account balances for calculations that include any after-tax amount. Sam is actively employed with the Plan Sponsor and Sam is not a 5% or more owner of the Plan Sponsor; OR the plan is a (b) Plan that is not a government or church plan. Sam qualifies to delay distributions past age 7½. Required minimum distributions must begin the year Sam retires from the employer sponsoring the qualified plan, but they are NOT included in these illustrations.

Assumptions (Continued) Details and Assumptions for Split Benefit Calculations Final Regulations Required Minimum are calculated based on the Uniform Lifetime Table. If your beneficiary is your spouse (who is more than years younger than you) distributions during your life may be calculated using the Joint and Last Survivor Table. Traditional IRA Rollover Assumptions Sue is named beneficiary. Each non-spouse beneficiary takes distributions based on the single life expectancy of the oldest beneficiary, minus one each year, if the beneficiaries failed to split the IRA into separate accounts by December of the year following the year of your death. Split Benefit-Rollover and Split Assumptions Sue is named beneficiary. After your death Sue rolls over the balance to an IRA and continues distributions based on his/her own life expectancy according to the Uniform Lifetime Table. At Sue's death, the IRA is split into separate IRAs with named beneficiaries. continue to each beneficiary at Sue's death calculated on the named beneficiary's life expectancy as of / in the year following Sue's death. Sue's estate is assumed to have cash liquidity to fund estate taxes outside of IRAs for this analysis. Split Benefit-Non-Spouse Beneficiary Assumptions At Sam's death, the TSA plan values are split into TSA plans for each non-spouse beneficiary. Sam's death is assumed in year. Your estate is assumed to have enough cash liquidity outside of TSA plans in this analysis. Each non-spouse beneficiary continues taking distributions based on his or her life expectancy and is assumed to live to the life expectancy used in the illustration. continue to each beneficiary at Sam's death calculated on the named beneficiary's life expectancy as of / in the year following Sam's death. May, 8 of 9
Assumptions (Continued) Details and Assumptions for Split Benefit Calculations Distribution Assumptions from the Traditional IRA/Qualified Plan that does not include any after-tax amount are taxable. A portion of the distributions from the Traditional IRA/Qualified Plan that includes any after tax amount is not taxable. The non-taxable portion is the amount of the distribution that bears the same ratio to the total amount of the distribution received as the total remaining after-tax amount bears to the Traditional IRA/Qualified Plan account balance at the end of the year. Early retirement distributions are not exempt from the IRC Section 7(t) penalty. Desired distributions from the qualified plan for premiums, expenses, or gifts are deducted from the Account of the owner and/or spouse. If the Account is not sufficient, the payments will still be assumed made from other assets of the owner or spouse and will be deducted from any "Other Assets" shown. Distribution method illustrated is equal to spending. Compliance with Revenue Ruling -6 Section 7(t) distributions are in compliance with the calculation methods stated in Revenue Ruling -6. The following calculation methods may be illustrated under this ruling: ) Extension of the existing Uniform Lifetime Table for use with the Life Expectancy Method. ) Addition of annuity factor table for use with the Annuity Method. ) Addition of interest rate (not more than % of the federal mid-term rate) for use with the Amortization and Annuity Methods. Tax Act of The American Taxpayer Relief Act of was signed into law on January, as P.L. -, also known as Tax Act of in this presentation. Tax Act of applies to deaths and gifts made in and later. Tax Act of provides for 'portability' of a deceased spouse's unused Applicable Exclusion Amount. Unused exclusion amounts may be passed to the surviving spouse (election must be made on timely filed estate tax return.) May, 9 of 9
