¹ Protective Life’s financial strength backs all of its obligations to pay claims under the policies it issues.

² Loans may be taken after the first policy year at a rate of 4.5% in policy years 1 through 10, and 3.5% in policy years of 11 or more. Loan interest is charged on loan balance; cash value is reduced by loan amounts and loan interest. Withdrawals and loans are subject to tax on any gain in the contract and, if taken before age 59½, may be subject to a 10% federal tax penalty. Loans, if not repaid, and withdrawals will reduce the death benefit and account value. Clients should consult a tax advisor.

³ If the insured has a terminal illness, less than 24 months to live (12 months in FL and NY), the owner may accelerate up to 85% (87% in FL and NY) of the death benefit (maximum of $250,000). This benefit varies by state. Not available in California. This benefit will be added to the contract at no additional charge unless the contract owner declines it at time of application. The owner can elect to receive an accelerated payment, which is the lesser of: 1) up to 85% (87% in FL & NY) of the benefit base for terminal illness; or 2) $250,000. The benefit base is equal to the contract death benefit at the time of the first acceleration. A minimum of 10% of the benefit base must remain in force after the accelerated payment is made. An acceleration charge is added to the accelerated payment to determine the total accelerated amount, which will reduce the death benefit by an amount greater than the accelerated payment. The acceleration charge is calculated by multiplying the accelerated payment by 1/17 (1/29 in FL & NY) for terminal illness. When there is outstanding indebtedness, a portion of the accelerated payment will be withheld to reduce the outstanding total indebtedness. A terminal illness is a medical condition expected to result in the insured's death within 24 months (12 months in FL & NY). Receipt of the accelerated death benefit may affect eligibility for public assistance programs. Contract owners should consult their tax advisor regarding any tax implications. Availability and features may vary by state.

⁴ If the insured becomes chronically ill (not able to perform two of the six activities of daily living), the owner may accelerate up to 75% of the death benefit (maximum of $250,000). This benefit varies by state. Not available in California. This benefit will be added to the contract at no additional charge unless the contract owner declines it at time of application. The owner can elect to receive an accelerated payment, which is the lesser of: 1) up to 75% of the benefit base for chronic illness; or 2) $250,000. The amount of accelerated death benefits cannot exceed the annual limits for payments that would be free of current federal income tax. The benefit base is equal to the contract death benefit at the time of the first acceleration. A minimum of 10% of the benefit base must remain in force after the accelerated payment is made. An acceleration charge is added to the accelerated payment to determine the total accelerated amount, which will reduce the death benefit by an amount greater than the accelerated payment. The acceleration charge is calculated by multiplying the accelerated payment by 1/5 for chronic illness. When there is outstanding indebtedness, a portion of the accelerated payment will be withheld to reduce the outstanding indebtedness. Chronic illness means the insured is (1) unable to perform at least 2 of the 6 activities of daily living or (2) requires substantial supervision to protect the insured from threats to health and safety due to permanent severe impairment. Receipt of the accelerated death benefit may affect eligibility for public assistance programs. Contract owners should consult their tax advisor regarding any tax implications. Availability and features may vary by state.
