About This Illustration This illustration shows values for Brighthouse Premier Accumulator Universal Life (Flexible Premium Adjustable Life Insurance) insurance policy, including any illustrated riders made part of this policy on a guaranteed and a non-guaranteed basis. This illustration does not change any provisions of your policy. Actual values and benefits may be more or less than those illustrated. If you apply for this policy and the insured's actual age, sex, or risk class, which is the basis on which the premiums are calculated, is different than shown above, the Representative will provide you with a revised illustration and can explain any differences to you. This illustration was designed to help you understand how this policy works and is not a projection of how it will perform on a non-guaranteed basis. A Brief Description of the Policy (Please read your policy for a more complete description and explanation of this coverage) Brighthouse Premier Accumulator (Flexible Premium Adjustable Life Insurance) is a permanent life insurance policy designed to allow flexible premiums and provide flexible death benefit protection. The non-guaranteed s and s are based on the amount of premium payments, charges, and the interest credited to the policy. Brighthouse Premier Accumulator Universal Life is a non-participating policy and does not pay dividends. The Minimum Annual Premium to Issue is $1,324.48. This may not be sufficient to continue the policy beyond the first year. Premium to Guarantee Coverage: $8,376.67 is the amount of the level annual premium that would guarantee coverage until maturity based on guaranteed expenses, charges and interest crediting rate assuming no loans, withdrawals or policy changes. A Continuation of the Policy Beyond Attained Age 121 provision is part of this policy. This provision provides for the continuation of the policy beyond the policy anniversary at the insured s attained age 121, provided the policy remains in force to age 121. For a Option A policy, the death benefit on or after attained age 121 will be the greater of: 1. the face amount of the policy on the date of the insured s death plus any rider death benefits determined as of the day prior to attained age 121 (unless otherwise indicated in the rider); or 2. 101 percent of the cash value on the date of the insured s death. Page 2 of 23 PAUL 2017 V 5.4.32.117 1%4%2%75%4%10056%7%2%9%0%10%0311%14%8
Life Insurance Test: Accumulation For a Option B policy, the death benefit on or after attained age 121 will be the face amount of the policy on the date of the insured s death; plus any rider death benefits determined as of the day prior to attained age 121 (if indicated in the rider); plus the cash value on the date of the insured s death. Premiums cannot be paid on or after the maturity date, unless they are required under a Grace Period provision due to an excess loan and there will be no monthly deduction taken on or after the maturity date. Paying additional premiums will increase the cash value. What is Guaranteed There is a guaranteed minimum interest crediting rate. All net premiums less partial withdrawals, loans and policy charges and expenses, are credited daily with an interest rate guaranteed to be no less than 2.00% on an annualized basis. The portion of the policy cash value securing a loan is credited daily with an interest rate guaranteed to be no less than 2.00% on an annualized basis. The policy contract includes maximum cost of insurance rates and guaranteed expense and policy charges. What is Non-Guaranteed The interest rate actually credited may or may not exceed the guaranteed minimum interest crediting rate. All net premiums less partial withdrawals, loans and policy charges and expenses, are credited daily with a non-guaranteed, current interest rate of 4.00% as of 6/30/2017. The portion of the policy cash value securing a loan is credited daily with a non-guaranteed, current interest rate of 2.00% as of 6/30/2017. The cost of insurance rates and expense and policy charges may or may not be less than the maximum guaranteed rates and charges as stated in the policy contract. If the non-guaranteed, current crediting rate exceeds the guaranteed minimum interest crediting rate or, if the non-guaranteed, current cost of insurance rates and expense and policy charges are less than the guaranteed maximum rates and charges, your policy s can increase beyond the guaranteed values, thereby increasing the value of your life insurance policy. This illustration assumes that the currently illustrated non-guaranteed elements will continue unchanged for all years shown. This is not likely to occur, and actual results may be more or less favorable than those shown. Policy Charges and Expenses 1. A premium charge of 33.00% is assessed in the first year, 10.00% thereafter, until Target Premium is reached; and a premium charge of 3.00% is assessed in the first year, 5.00% thereafter after the Target Premium is reached under guaranteed assumptions on your policy. A premium charge of 33.00% is assessed in the first year, 8.00% thereafter, until Target Premium is reached and a premium charge of 3.00% is assessed in all years after Target Premium is reached under current assumptions on your policy. The Target Premium for your policy can be found in your contract, on page 4 of the Policy Specification pages and in the footer of this illustration. 2. A policy charge of $10.00 per month is assessed in all policy years. 3. The monthly coverage expense charge under guaranteed assumptions is $17.14 for years 1 through 20 and $0.00 thereafter. The monthly coverage expense charge under current assumptions is $15.58 for years 1 through 20 and $0.00 thereafter. These charges are calculated assuming that there are no Policy Changes; Policy Changes may change these charges. 4. The monthly cost of insurance is based on the insured s illustrated risk class. This amount will vary depending on the specifics of your policy. The monthly cost of insurance is calculated using a guaranteed rate or, for non-guaranteed values, the Company s current rate if lower. Charges This policy does not have Charges.

Life Insurance Test: Accumulation Additional Riders The following are descriptions of riders that have been included in this illustration. These riders are subject to limitations and exclusions which are not set forth below. Please read a specimen policy for a more detailed description of this rider, including any charges. Chronic and Terminal Care Rider The Chronic and Terminal Care Rider provides early access to the policy s death benefit on a tax favorable basis when the insured suffers from a chronic or terminal illness. For chronic illnesses, an amount up to the Maximum Annual Amount can be requested once per calendar until the Maximum Lifetime Amount has been paid. A one-time payment for an amount up to the Maximum Amount can be requested for terminal illnesses. At-Issue Maximum Annual Amount: $47,730 At-Issue Maximum Lifetime Amount: $178,988 To qualify for rider payments, the insured s chronic or terminal illness must be certified by a physician within the prior 12 months. Chronic illness is defined as (a) being permanently unable to perform, without Substantial Assistance from another individual, two or more Activities of Daily Living (bathing, dressing, transferring, toileting, continence, and eating) due to a loss of functional capacity and has been unable to do so for at least 90 days; or (b) requiring Substantial Supervision to protect the Insured from threats to health and safety due to permanent Severe Cognitive Impairment. Terminal illness is defined as the Insured has been certified by a physician as having a medical condition that will result in the death of the Insured within 12 months from the date of the physician s certification. Please review the Chronic and Terminal Care Rider Example page for more information. Page 4 of 23 PAUL 2017 V 5.4.32.117 1%4%2%75%4%10056%7%4%9%0%10%0311%14%A
Life Insurance Test: Accumulation Life Insurance policies such as Brighthouse Premier Accumulator Universal Life must satisfy Section 7702 of the Code. This policy is intended to satisfy Section 7702 of the code by meeting the requirements of the cash value accumulation test (CVAT), the payable on the death of the insured will never be less than the minimum amount necessary to cause the policy to meet the cash value accumulation test set forth in Section 7702(b) of the Code, as in effect on the date the policy was issued. In order to receive favorable tax treatment under the Code on policy distributions,life insurance policy premiums must be within certain limits during the first 7 policy years and during the first 7 policy years after certain policy changes. Distributions include surrender or withdrawal of policy values, policy loans or pledges to secure a loan. Failure to satisfy this limitation would cause the policy to become a Modified Endowment Contract (MEC) and cause distributions to be taxable (and possibly subject to a tax penalty if received before the recipient s age 59 1/2) to the extent there is a gain (generally, in excess of remaining basis) in the policy. As illustrated, based on the non-guaranteed charge and variable rate, this policy becomes a MEC in policy year 1. Proceeds from this policy are generally received by the beneficiary income tax free, subject to certain transferfor-value and other rules. In particular, in the case of a business owned policy, the provisions of section 101 (j) of the Code may limit the amount of the excludable from gross income unless a specified exception applies and a notice and consent requirement is satisfied. In most cases, you will not pay income taxes on Policy withdrawals, from a non MEC policy, until your cumulative withdrawn amounts exceed the cumulative premiums you have paid. If the policy becomes a MEC, you will pay income taxes on loans and withdrawals to the extent of any gains (generally the cash value in excess of the premiums paid, minus any nontaxable distributions). In this case, an additional 10% penalty may also apply to recipients younger than 59 1/2. The death benefit may be subject to federal and state estate taxes, but your beneficiary will generally not be subject to federal income tax on the death benefit. A Word About Taxes This illustration assumes a tax bracket of 28.00%. Please also note, if you surrender your policy, or if your policy lapses while loans are outstanding, income tax could be payable on borrowed amounts. Any discussion of taxes is for general informational purposes only and does not purport to be complete or cover every situation, and should not be construed as legal, tax or accounting advice. You should consult with and rely on your own independent legal and tax advisers regarding your particular set of facts and circumstances.

Life Insurance Test: Accumulation Interest Adjusted Indexes These indexes provide a means for evaluating the comparative cost of the policy under stated assumptions. In computing the indexes, an assumed rate of interest is applied in averaging the premiums paid and benefits available over a stated period of time, taking into account the time value of money. They can be useful in comparing Universal Life coverages only if the same premium and death benefit are assumed for each policy being compared. A lower index is better than a higher one. Indexes are approximate because they involve assumptions, including the rate of interest used. Interest Adjusted Indexes based on a 5.00% interest rate for the base policy: End of 10 Yrs. GUARANTEED End of 20 Yrs. NON-GUARANTEED End of 10 Yrs. End of 20 Yrs. Life Insurance Net Payment Cost Index $51.68 $32.02 $51.67 $32.02 Life Insurance Cost Index $20.15 $22.59 $11.81 $13.45 The difference between the total premiums paid and the cash value should not be used as the basis for determining policy cost.

Life Insurance Test: Accumulation Year Year is the policy year. Age Age is the age the insured has attained by the end of the policy year. The insured s age is advanced by one year at the end of each policy year. The Age value is calculated by adding the corresponding Year value to the illustration issue age, identified in the illustration header as Age. The illustration issue age can be manually identified or automatically calculated based upon the insured s birthdate and the illustration effective date. In the issue age calculation, a 360 day year is assumed; therefore, if the insured s next birthday is 180 days or less from the illustration effective date, the insured s age on that next birthday becomes the issue age for the illustration purposes. Planned Annual Premium Outlay This column reflects the total of the annual out of pocket premiums, including any 1035 Exchange Amount or Lump Sum money received. Guaranteed s - Column, Column, and Column with Guaranteed Charges at a Guaranteed 2.00% Interest Rate These columns are determined and illustrated using the guaranteed interest rate of 2.00% and Guaranteed Cost of Insurance rates and other charges. The value of the policy at the end of the year, which is based upon the guaranteed interest rate, guaranteed insurance charges, and maximum expense and policy charges. The amount available on surrender of this policy, at the end of the policy year. It includes the values under the base policy and any illustrated riders. The amount shown reflects any illustrated withdrawals, and illustrated policy loans and loan interest. Column Definitions The death benefit amount payable, as of the end of the policy year, to your beneficiaries, if the insured should die while this policy is in force. The amount shown reflects any illustrated withdrawals, illustrated policy loans and loan interest. Non-Guaranteed s - Column, Column, and s Column with Non-Guaranteed Charges at a Non-Guaranteed 4.00% Interest Rate These columns are determined and illustrated in the same manner as explained above for their guaranteed counterparts except that the current interest rate of 4.00% is used and current cost of insurance rates, premium charge, and current expense and policy charges are used rather than guaranteed assumptions. The non-guaranteed values shown in this illustration further assume that the illustrated interest rate, current cost of insurance rates, and expense and policy charges will continue unchanged for all years shown. This is not likely to occur, and actual results may be more or less favorable than those shown. The assumptions on which these values are based are subject to change by the insurer.

Life Insurance Test: Accumulation Supplemental Illustration Internal Rate of Return This supplemental illustration computes the rate of return that must be earned on an after-tax basis, each year, on the Net After Tax Outlay shown in order to equal the total cash surrender value and death benefit payable at the death of the insured. Year Year is the policy year. Age Age is the age the insured has attained by the end of the policy year. The insured s age is advanced by one year at the end of each policy year. The Age value is calculated by adding the corresponding Year value to the illustration issue age, identified in the illustration header as Age. The illustration issue age can be manually identified or automatically calculated based upon the insured s birthdate and the illustration effective date. In the issue age calculation, a 360 day year is assumed; therefore, if the insured s next birthday is 180 days or less from the illustration effective date, the insured s age on that next birthday becomes the issue age for the illustration purposes. Net After Tax Outlay Your Annual Contract Premium, including any 1035 Exchange or Lump Sum money received, minus surrenders and loans, plus any loan repayments, loan interest paid and estimated taxes due based on owner s tax bracket of 28.00%.

Chronic and Terminal Care Rider Acceleration Example at Age 80 Who is it for? The Chronic and Terminal Care Rider 1 is designed for policyowners that seek early access to the policy s death benefit on a tax favorable basis when the insured suffers from a chronic or terminal illness. What makes it unique? Fewer Charges: The Chronic and Terminal Care Rider only charges a fee of $250 upon each exercise. Similar riders either charge a monthly deduction or reduce rider payments through discounting. Simpler: Both chronic and terminal illnesses are covered in one rider. Chronic and Terminal Care Rider payments can be used for anything and no receipts are required. How does it work? The Chronic and Terminal Care Rider can be exercised under both the chronic illness provisions and the terminal illness provision. Once per calendar year, the policyowner may request a payment 2 of up to 20% of the policy s death benefit. Cumulative payments cannot exceed the lesser of 75% of the policy s death benefit and $2 million. Rider payments reduce the policy s death benefit on a dollarfor-dollar basis, while the policy s cash value is reduced proportionately. Future monthly deductions are based on the new policy values. How are payments received on a tax favorable basis? Payments from the Chronic and Terminal Care Rider are intended to qualify for favorable tax treatment under Section 101(g) of the Federal Internal Revenue Code. Before submitting any rider claims, policyowners should consult a tax advisor to determine the tax consequences of any payments received. Consulting with a tax advisor is especially important if the policyowner is not the insured. The IRS imposes a per diem cap on the amount of payments resulting from chronic illness. Claims from chronic illness that exceed the annualized IRS per diem limitations may be subject to income taxation. Acceleration Example: This example is based on the end of year values illustrated on the Non-Guaranteed Charges and Non-Guaranteed 4.00% Interest Rate Policy s Ledger. POLICY VALUES AT THE END OF POLICY YEAR 1 $246,587 $98,958 POLICY VALUES AT AGE 80 $238,650 $164,725 INSURED IS CERTIFIED CHRONICALLY OR TERMINALLY ILL POLICYOWNER REQUESTS A 20% ACCELERATION Accelerated $47,730 AMOUNT RECEIVED BY POLICYOWNER Accelerated Payment $47,480 POLICY VALUES AFTER ACCELERATION $190,920 $131,780 NOTES: This product is not long term care insurance. This product is a life insurance policy that accelerates the death benefit on account of chronic or terminal illness. 1 Certain age and state availability restrictions may apply. The policyowner is the person who has the right to accelerate the death benefit, which can be done in the event of the insured s chronic illness or terminal illness (subject to the rider s terms and conditions). Descriptions of policy features and riders are only partial. Please see a specimen rider policy for additional rider details. 2 In general, the maximum rider payment amount will only be calculated at the time of first rider exercise. However, if the policy s death benefit is reduced by a transaction other than rider exercise, then the maximum rider payment amount will be recalculated based on the lower death benefit.
