Meeting With Your Client Needs Analysis Selling Most people are not so financially sound that they could stop working tomorrow and be able to have enough resources to support their family for a long time into the future. However, this is precisely what happens when the primary bread winner of a family dies. For this reason, life insurance is a critical piece of a family’s financial profile. But how does a family determine the proper amount of insurance? – The answer is a Needs Analysis! The inherent problems associated with analyzing needs are understood. Needs analysis can be quite uncomfortable for the client and the agent. What are some of the negative issues associated with obtaining a complete needs analysis?

Clients are uncomfortable sharing information. Clients don’t feel it is an important step in purchasing a small Hermann Sons Life product. They know exactly what they want. Agents feel uncomfortable asking the questions. What if the analysis recommends more insurance than they can afford?

It is hopeful that information in this section will help agents feel more comfortable when assisting clients complete the needs analysis process.

Why is needs analysis important?

Why do we need to complete a needs analysis for our clients? It’s the Law! Documented needs analysis protects the consumer and the agent. Life insurance sales should be needs based. And when the client knows what they need it helps them plan for the future. You may have heard the old joke that “everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it.” Through proper needs analysis we have the opportunity to help our clients not just talk about their future but to understand and plan for their needs. Needs analysis is the most reliable approach to determining the proper level of insurance. This type of analysis determines the amount of money needed to support the family and pay down outstanding liabilities, reduced by current asset holdings and future receipts of income. When we do this we increase customer satisfaction. When customers are pleased with your service and recognize your planning professionalism they are more inclined to tell others. This will increase client referrals. Even if they do not take the coverage recommended by needs analysis, they are at least aware of their needs which may lead to future contacts.

As you prepare for the needs analysis process, it is important that you help your client to feel comfortable with you and what you can offer to them. Today’s consumer has more accessibility to information than ever before. Yet when considering a major financial obligation like life insurance or annuities they often don’t do any investigation. Maybe it’s because of the complexity of the product or the lack of desire to consider their own mortality, but for whatever reason they will rely on the agent to take the first step. Your ability to best serve your client and the promise of a potential sale will essentially depend on your ability to put your clients at ease and teach them about the products you sell. Remember, you are the professional! Help the client to understand how you can help them. Show confidence and knowledge. Use special words and phrases like needs-based selling, confidentiality and trust to help clients feel more comfortable.

Conducting the needs analysis interview There are four basic steps to needs analysis: Fact finding Determining client objectives Analyzing customer needs and amounts Helping with product selection

Following these steps will allow you to identify and discuss: Information which will determine your client’s potential for life insurance or annuities. (job, health, other insurance) Financial problems that might arise or goals for when your client dies or retires. (debt) Your client’s objectives and motivation to purchase. (children, college, new home, change in job, retirement, desired estate) The specific form we use to record gathered information is the Needs Analysis Form. Plan to carry at least three copies to each appointment. You can start completing the form (or take notes) as you conduct the needs analysis interview. One will be used to complete information, sign and send to the Home Office. Another can be left with the client to use for a spouse or at a future date. Step #1 – Fact finding This first step includes the typical data gathering. What is their current financial situation? Do they have other insurance in force? Why are they interested in Hermann Sons Life? (Camp or dance, annuity vs. SAFE, etc.) During the fact finding phase you often get a strong indication whether your client needs insurance and the first indicators of how much.

Step #2 – Determining Client Objectives The next step involves discovering what the client’s overall objective is for purchasing life insurance or an annuity. What percentage of income would you like your family to have when you die? What bills or expenses would you want liquidated? At what age do you want to retire? What do you need for retirement income? Does your family have a history of longevity? Many clients have never thought of these questions. You may have to help them with some objectives (e.g., mortgage, college). Remember, these objectives become the motivation for their purchase today and future purchases. Step #3 – Analyzing Customer Needs and Amounts By determining the client’s objectives you know where they are and where they want to go. Now it’s time to determine how they can get there from here. To apply suitability standards to your needs analysis you must analyze the objectives your customer indicated to determine the appropriate amount and type of coverage. Typically, customers need insurance to cover these six needs: Income – Most people’s main source of income comes from employment. The money they make from work generally meets their needs. Death, however, brings an end to that source of income. A family that loses an income-earner as a result of premature death will face financial hardships unless another source of income has been provided for in advance. Life insurance can meet this need because it is designed to create dollars when an individual dies. Mortgage – The most important legacy an income-earner should want to leave their family is a roof over their heads, especially when there are children involved. Life insurance can guarantee that survivors will keep their home or have the available funds for rent. At the least, estimate the actual cost for 120 months. Debt Repayment – Debts create another cash need when a family member dies. Having a lump sum to liquidate these obligations will allow the surviving family to use other income for current living expenses rather than paying for past purchases. Final Expenses – Cost associated with a funeral, probate and legal fees, possible medical bills and other associated expenses can cause great indebtedness. These costs are traditionally estimated between $15,000 and $20,000. Child Care and Education – Children need to be cared for, especially after the death of a parent. Loss of wages can be a hardship unless covered by insurance. Plan on $8,000-$14,000 per year per child for child care and associated needs. (The number of years calculated will depend on the age of the child.) For college, plan on $20,000 to $40,000 per year per child. It will be more if it is a private university or if children fail to qualify for grants. Back to Table of Contents

Emergency Funds – The death of a wage-earner doesn’t affect the possibility of other emergencies occurring. Major home, auto or health expenses could still occur. Plan to set aside funds equaling one-half of your annual income for emergencies. Also, look at the funds which will be available at death. This will include other life insurance and annuities (from Hermann Sons Life and others, including employer group), cash on hand, and other income. Step #4 – Helping Your Client to Choose a Product Once your client agrees that they have a life insurance or annuity need, you can present product choices and options. Explain to customers how the features of the product will solve their financial needs. By carefully reviewing appropriate amounts and explaining how they solve financial needs, you will meet suitability standards.

Knowing the Certificate Features

It is very important that agents are fully aware of our products and product features. Our clients look to you as the professional. You must have thorough knowledge of the products so you will know which plan(s) will do the best job for the client. Unfortunately, choosing suitable products for clients is not as easy as drawing numbers out of a hat. It’s a precise science, but not a perfect one, and it takes considerable product knowledge and practice. Once you learn about the products, you must then learn to match them to the right customers. Solid product training, like we provide during CE sessions, will help you to put customers at ease and make them more willing to listen to your ideas about their financial situations.

Putting It All Together

Earning the customers’ trust while discovering their needs will make your job of describing a product and presenting the results much easier. Be sure you have analyzed each detail carefully. Not every product may be suitable for a person’s needs. Our CE courses, regional workshops, and your professional experience will give you the ability and confidence you need to make good decisions. Trust is earned through knowledge and professionalism. Now, let’s talk more generally about the needs analysis process and our form. We all understand the benefits of needs analysis, the importance of completing the form, the hurdles associated with it, and general solutions. So let’s talk specifics!

What if the client is hesitant or doesn’t want to complete a needs analysis? Be prepared to steer them in the right direction. Use phrases that will help them understand the importance of needs analysis. “Your personalized needs will best be met if I may ask you a few questions.” What are some phrases that have helped you in the past? “You mentioned ___ tell me more about ___.” “What specific benefits are important to you when selecting a life insurance certificate?” “What this means to you is (state unique benefit).” Try using estimates. This will give you usable numbers which can still be helpful in defining need. Do as much needs analysis as you can (through questions) without completing the form. The client will feel less pressured but you will still gain some knowledge to help with recommendations. Leave a blank form for them to complete later on their own. Even if you don’t have all of the information, at least they will have a better idea of their needs when they complete the form on their own. Although there are certain “rules of thumb” which may be used in order to estimate the insurance need, they are very simplistic and often do not consider such important factors as the family’s current net worth or the ages of the family members. Such rules of thumb can provide a wide disparity of solutions. Without looking at a family’s entire financial profile, it is difficult, if not impossible, to accurately determine the proper amount of life insurance. Proper needs analysis is always the best path. When the needs analysis states they need more coverage than the family is willing to pay or able to afford that is OK – at least they are aware of what their needs are. Any method used to determine a family’s insurance need will be an estimate. Circumstances will change almost on a daily basis. Therefore, it is important to review the insurance need regularly and make any necessary adjustments. This gives you future opportunities to meet with your clients.

Matching Insurance Products with Customer Needs Life insurance can be used to meet client needs by helping them to appropriately manage their risk. Insurance agents must learn to design an insurance portfolio that meets the client’s needs and those of his/her family and other dependents. Life brings many changes and surprises because it is a continual process of beginnings and endings. We can offer our customers peace of mind for today and for tomorrow by knowing how to help them adjust their financial needs for the many changes and surprises that come with living life – what we call Life Events. What is a “Life Event?” A life event occurs when life circumstances change and affect planning for the future. The Most Common Life Events: Getting out on your own/entering college Establishing a career Getting married Buying a home Becoming parents/newborn Starting a business Planning for dependents with special needs Retirement Divorce Death Getting out on your own/entering college – Getting out on your own can be exciting and a little scary. It is the time when young adults begin taking responsibility. It is important that no matter where life takes these young people we are there to support them. It is at this point when they may begin to think about owning their own life insurance plans and we should be available to assist them. Establishing a career – Pursuing a career can be a rewarding experience. It may be the first time to manage money without the help of their parents. Undoubtedly, they will be full of questions and uncertainties. Taxes, insurance, retirement, it may be more than they can handle alone. We have watched them grow up and now they are beginning their lives and making their own choices. When they are uncomfortable discussing financial issues with their parents, you can be there to help them make wise choices about their employer benefits and possibly a Hermann Sons Life product to supplement their portfolio. Getting married – Getting married is a big step. When planning a wedding, other decisions and plans may be put on hold. However, as soon as possible after the wedding, you should schedule an appointment with the new couple to update names, addresses and beneficiaries. In addition, this is a perfect time to discuss their life insurance and other insurance planning. Also, discuss their need to change beneficiaries with their employer benefits and supplement with Hermann Sons Life products if necessary.

Buying a home – Because home ownership is a substantial investment and a long-term commitment, most people want to protect this asset for their family. One of the methods is protecting against premature death through life insurance. When discussing coverage always remember to review coverage for all income contributors. Parenting – Once the first child is born, financial planning for the future becomes even more essential. Should the child have life insurance? Should the life insurance coverage on parents be increased? Knowing what to expect will allow your customers to plan for the future and to increase their chances that they will not fall short of their financial goals. Indeed, this is the time to review and update their goals. Starting a business – Business owners have the same need for insurance as families or individuals. The principal use of life insurance by business owners is Key Person Insurance. Retirement – The number of people who are financially unprepared for retirement is staggering. One study revealed that more than half of adults in the U.S. were planning to depend solely on Social Security for retirement income. It’s never too late to start or improve a retirement plan. Basically there are three steps to retirement planning: 1. Estimating retirement income 2. Estimating retirement needs 3. Deciding on investments Planning for dependents with special needs – Some clients may have dependents with special needs, such as a disabled child, spouse or sibling. There may come a time when they can no longer provide the vital physical and financial support that is needed for their special person to remain safe and secure. What happens next depends largely on the quality of their planning for this time. You can help your customers by informing them of life insurance and annuities that are specific to their unique situations. Divorce – Those who have recently changed their marital status may have important financial and legal decisions to make. These decisions might deal with changes in property ownership and providing for children’s welfare. As the family insurance agent your assistance with these matters is crucial. Divorce is sometimes the flip side of marriage and often the bridge between marriage and remarriage so some of the same assistance you offer to married couples may be appropriate at this stage as well. Death – The death of a spouse or loved one is a difficult time. Yet, during this period, many decisions need to be made and actions must be taken in the first few months after death. You can be a strong shoulder for your customer to lean on during this time. Read up on ways to help your customers handle these details. This may be a great time to suggest an annuity for the death proceeds that are not needed for current living expenses. Some of the decisions that must be made may include: employee/retirement/survivor benefits, veteran benefits, change of ownership, change of beneficiaries, etc.

Matching Products With Needs Gather Information Gathering appropriate information is crucial to matching needs. The Needs Analysis form provides the questions you should have answered to make a professional recommendation. However, knowing your customer also includes building a rapport. You will find out more useful information by engaging your customers in casual conversation during the interview. Analyze Information Now you must analyze the information you have gathered to see what product(s) may be most suited to your client’s needs. Remember, temporary needs are typically covered with Term Life and permanent needs with Whole Life. A temporary need is generally 1-30 years but that really depends on the age of the client. For example: If a client is 50 years old then 30 years would be a permanent need. However, if your client is 20 years old then a 30 year need would be temporary. Some clients may not be able to afford the premiums for all of the permanent insurance they may need in their portfolios. In these cases you can recommend Term with the understanding that they should convert to Whole Life as soon as they can afford it. You can even set up a strategy where they convert small portions at specific intervals to make it more convenient and affordable. Or maybe the best plan is a combination of Whole and Term Life. Present Recommendations There are a couple of approaches you may take. One-option Recommendation – when you are very secure in your solution for the customer’s needs, offer only one option. Always tell the customer why this is the best option. Two-option Recommendation – if it appears that two different plans of action could be appropriate, then present both. Be sure to explain how each will provide the RESULTS they identified earlier.

The certificate owner is the person named in the insurance contract who has control of the certificate including all rights stipulated in the contract. Usually, this is the person whose life is insured, but it can be a parent (in the case of a junior member), or a beneficiary, such as the spouse. The certificate owner has certain important rights to the certificate, including: •• paying the premium; •• naming beneficiaries; •• determining the various options within the life insurance certificate, such as settlement options; •• changing owners of the certificate in the future; •• borrowing from a cash buildup in the certificate; and changing any other feature in the insurance certificate. Why is ownership important? Many parents, especially those who pay the premiums for the certificate, feel that ownership goes hand in hand. It does not! When the junior holder turns 18 he or she becomes the owner if there is no named owner. Not only does the 18-year-old member have control of all rights of the certificate, but parents cannot seek information from the Home Office because of contract privacy laws. Ownership has greater impact when major life events, such as divorce, occur.

Our agents are our field underwriters. This section must be completed in its entirety. Have the client follow along as you read the questions. Don’t paraphrase the questions. Always put the name of the primary family physician even if no adverse medical details exist. Designating a Life Insurance Beneficiary ben’e·fi’ci·ar’y n. A beneficiary is the person or entity named (designated) to receive the death benefits of a life insurance certificate or annuity. Choosing a life insurance beneficiary is an important part of enacting a new certificate. While many life insurance shoppers approach designating a beneficiary as an arduous task, general certificates have few rules on who can be a beneficiary, how the beneficiary must file claims and how the claims are paid. Hermann Sons Life beneficiary rules are covered under Title 11 in the Charter and Laws of Hermann Sons Life. The designation of a beneficiary is required. Who may be a beneficiary? A life insurance beneficiary is someone who receives death benefits when the insurance certificate holder dies. When an individual privately purchases a life insurance plan, he may designate anyone, regardless of relation, as a beneficiary. Some certificateholders elect to designate two or more beneficiaries. Even though some life insurance owners leave their insurance benefits to a non-profit organization or some small business, owners choose to designate the business as a beneficiary, allowing the business to survive even if the owner passes away, Hermann Sons Life prefers a person be named as beneficiary. Primary and Secondary Beneficiaries Our insurance certificates provide for certificate holders to designate not only primary beneficiaries, but also contingent or secondary beneficiaries who may receive benefits if the primary designee is deceased. Life insurance is a long term arrangement, and beneficiaries may change over time. If a certificate holder designates a spouse, for example, the beneficiary may pass away before the certificate holder, leaving the benefits to be dispersed according to Article 80. In such cases, a contingent beneficiary would receive the insurance payout if the primary beneficiary is deceased.

Hermann Sons Life does not offer an Irrevocable Beneficiary option. An irrevocable beneficiary is one that cannot be changed. Hermann Sons Life does not offer this. Right to Change Beneficiaries Every certificate owner has the right to change their beneficiaries according to Hermann Sons Life Laws. Every change must be applied for using the proper application form. The effective date of the change is the date it was signed by the certificate holder provided the application is in compliance with Hermann Sons Life Laws and approved. Certificate vs. Will All beneficiaries and changes to such are designated according to the certificate laws and are not affected by stated beneficiaries in a will. Payment to Beneficiaries and Co-Beneficiaries In the event two or more beneficiaries are designated and one or more pre-decease the member that portion of the benefit will be paid to the surviving beneficiary or beneficiaries, share and share alike. But should the pre-deceased beneficiary be a child of the member then that portion will be paid to the beneficiaries’ surviving child or children, share and share alike. Adopted children share equally with natural children. This per stirpes-like distribution method is only used when children are beneficiaries. If all beneficiaries pre-decease the member or if all the designated beneficiaries are unauthorized by Hermann Sons Life Laws, the proceeds of the certificate will be paid in the following manner: • Surviving spouse • Children of the member, share and share alike and if one child is deceased, to their children (share and share alike) • Surviving parents, share and share alike • Surviving brothers and sisters, share and share alike • Children of the brothers and sisters, in that portion and share that the brothers and sisters would have received if alive • Estate of the Insured Adopted children and half blood children share equally with full blood children.

Divorced Spouse as a Beneficiary The divorced spouse of a member is not eligible as a beneficiary unless the member has redesignated such after the divorce becomes final. (ie., Jane Doe, ex-wife) A beneficiary forfeits their interest if they bring about the death of the member. Spouses must give written consent on provided forms before you can designate anyone else as the beneficiary of a retirement plan. Common law spouses are not entitled to benefits unless expressly designated as a beneficiary. Minors as Beneficiaries If the beneficiary is a minor, then the proceeds will be paid to the legally appointed and qualified guardian of the minor’s estate after required proof. When there is no legal guardian, Hermann Sons Life may hold the proceeds in trust until the child’s 18th birthday. We cannot accept children, under the age of 18, as beneficiaries of annuities. Payment to beneficiaries of unsound mind are similar. Lack of Proof for Claim If no proof of claim is made within the required time as stipulated by the State of Texas, the funds will be forwarded to the State of Texas under the applicable laws. Avoid complications. Always encourage your clients to review and update their beneficiaries periodically. The APPLICATION is a legal document and one of the most important parts of the insurance transaction. Take sufficient time to verify that all information is accurate and complete. Print legibly to avoid misinterpretations.

New Members and Lodge Assignments Helping the new member to choose a lodge is an important part in the total sales process. Membership and the feeling of belonging to a group is a big part of who we are. Members who are active or who have a connection to their lodge are more likely to retain membership. Lodge placement is the choice of the member. It is the job of the agent to educate each new member about the lodge system and help them to decide which lodge is best for them. Most often new members will end up being placed in the same lodge of the agent but this is not always the case. Most new members will not know or really care about lodge placement. Your job will be to help them decide what lodge is best for them and their family. All agents want to see their lodge grow, but what is best for the member should trump any desire for personal lodge growth. The following are guidelines that agents should discuss as clients are deciding on a lodge: Tell your client about the Hermann Sons Lodge system. Hermann Sons Life operates under a lodge system. When a person joins Hermann Sons Life they also join a local lodge. Lodges have business meetings, social events, and support their members and the community in many ways. Dues charged by local lodges help support the lodge in all they do. Tell your client specific details about lodges in their area. Helpful lodge placement criteria. Lodge placement is the choice of the member. Often the new member wants to belong to the lodge to which other family members belong(ed). Their personal choices should always be honored. Traditionally, it is best if members are placed in the lodge closest to them. We want members to participate in their lodge. There is a better chance this will happen if the lodge is close.

Is the member going to participate in a school of dance? It is always good if the junior is a member of the lodge that sponsors the dance class; although, if their parents are members of another lodge the child should be placed with the parents. Juniors from any lodge can participate in any school of dance.

A member can always change their lodge membership. If a member discovers they would like to belong to a different lodge they can transfer their membership at any time. Back to Table of Contents

Certificate Provisions A life insurance certificate is a legal contract between the insurance company and the certificate owner. It sets forth the terms of the agreement between the two parties of the contract: The certificate owner sends in premium payments and in return the insurance company agrees to pay at certificate maturity as a death benefit or agrees to pay a death benefit at the death of the insured. Here are some important provisions of Hermann Sons Life certificates and contracts: Free Look – All Hermann Sons Life certificates or contracts provide a 30-day free look period to the certificate owner. Once the certificate or contract is approved, issued and delivered to the certificate owner, they have 30 days to review their purchase. We must refund all premiums paid to the certificate owner if they decide to exercise this provision. All Hermann Sons Life certificates and contracts have this provision including the Annuity contracts. Incontestability – Once a certificate has been in force for two years, Hermann Sons Life can no longer contest a certificate or revoke it. However, if there is a discovery of fraud, Hermann Sons Life can contest any claims and possibly pursue criminal charges. Grace Period – If the certificate owner fails to make the premium payments, Hermann Sons Life will not cancel the certificate immediately. The certificate holder has a 31-day grace period. APL (Automatic Premium Loan) – If any premiums are not paid when due or within the grace period, the premium along with lodge dues will be taken from the cash value of the certificate. If this loan balance exceeds the cash surrender value of the certificate the certificate will become null and void. APL balances can be repaid in any amount or frequency that the certificate owner desires. Reinstatement – A Hermann Sons Life certificate owner can reinstate a certificate within three years of its lapse date provided that they pay all back premiums due plus interest. Other requirements may include providing evidence of insurability and paying any certificate loan balances. Nonforfeiture Options – These are options in a permanent insurance certificate that must be made available to the certificate owner if they stop paying the premiums. These options are: Cash surrender value – The certificate owner can receive the full amount of the cash accumulation as cash less any premium and lodge dues, interest and loan balances due. Reduced Paid Up Insurance – The certificate owner can use the cash value to purchase a single premium paid up certificate at the attained age of the certificate owner. Back to Table of Contents

Certificate Loans – When a certificate owner takes out a certificate loan, as long as the premiums are paid regularly, the cash values in the certificate will generally rise faster than the loan plus the loan’s interest. However, if the certificate loan and the interest on it become greater than the total cash value of the certificate, the certificate will lapse. To avoid cancellation of the certificate, the certificate owner should either pay enough of the loan and interest to reduce the total outstanding amount to a figure lower than the total cash value of the certificate, or pay off the entire loan plus interest. Refund Options – An insurance company can declare certificate refunds annually, but these refunds cannot be guaranteed. There are several options available to certificate owners regarding refunds. Paid Up Additions – The certificate owner can use the refunds to buy additional, paid up insurance at the insured’s attained age.

(The only exception is with the ROTH IRA.) Only interest gain is taxable for nonqualified annuities. The money you invest in an annuity can grow three ways: • Your premium earns interest. • Your interest earns interest. • The money you would have paid in taxes remains in your account to earn interest. Interest Rates Hermann Sons Life’s current rates are listed in the quarterly interest rate information report. Guaranteed rates are specified by contract. Withdrawals and Surrender Fees After one year, up to a 10% withdrawal can be made per contract year without a surrender fee. Up to three partial withdrawals of at least $100 per certificate year are allowed as long as the total amount does not exceed 10% of the accumulation value at the beginning of that year.

Agent Training Hermann Sons Life sales agents receive training on a regular basis. Classroom instruction for agents is held at the time of hire, twice a year at regional workshops and once a year for licensed agents at the continuing education weekend.

New Hire Training Newly hired agents receive a three-day intense new hire training and orientation. Training consists of reviewing sales techniques, introducing sales agents to forms needed in order to complete a sale, immersion in the history of our company and its culture, company mission and company benefits. Orientation consists of company policies and procedures, a tour of the Home Office campus and the Camp and Retirement Home campuses.

Regional Workshops Designed to educate agents on pertinent sales topics, sales policies and procedures, and requested training topics, these workshops are held in a public setting located within a reasonable distance of an agent’s home. Workshops traditionally begin at 4 p.m. and last until 7 p.m. Agents are encouraged to share their sales experiences related to the topic of discussion. Workshops are a great training resource for all agents and sessions are typically held during the months of February and August. In addition to receiving three hours of training, agents also are treated to a complimentary dinner. All agents are required to attend local workshop training sessions, unless excused.

Continuing Education Seminars During the Continuing Education weekend, licensed agents receive two days of classroom instruction. Traditionally held at the Hermann Sons Life Camp in Comfort, Texas, this educational weekend is conducted in the month of October. The continuing education weekend is one of the easiest ways for licensed agents to complete their 12 hours of annually required continuing education. Classes are conducted in cooperation with a single designated instructor or a group of instructors who are approved by the Texas Department of Insurance. At times, classes are taught by Hermann Sons Life staff . Agents pay a nominal fee to participate in this event. This fee offsets housing and food costs for the entire weekend. All licensed agents should plan to attend; otherwise please contact the Sales Department for your CE options.

Glossary of Insurance Terms Accelerated Death Benefits - This feature allows you, under certain circumstances, to receive the proceeds of your life insurance certificate before you die. Such circumstances include terminal or catastrophic illness, the need for long-term care, or confinement to a nursing home. Accidental Death Benefit - In a life insurance certificate, a benefit in addition to the death benefit paid to the beneficiary, should death occur due to an accident. There can be certain exclusions as well as time and age limits. Actuary - A specialist in the mathematics of insurance who calculates rates, reserves, dividends and other statistics. Adjustable Rate - An interest rate that changes based on changes in a published market-rate index. Admitted Assets - Assets permitted by state law to be included in an insurance company’s annual statement. These assets are an important factor when regulators measure insurance company solvency. They include mortgages, stocks, bonds and real estate. Agent - An individual who sells and services insurance certificates. Annuitization - Process by which you convert part or all of the money in a qualified retirement plan or nonqualified annuity contract into a stream of regular income payments, either for your lifetime or the lifetimes of you and your joint annuitant. Once you choose to annuitize, the payment schedule and the amount is generally fixed and cannot be altered. Annuitization Options - Choices in the way to annuitize. For example, life with a 10-year period certain means payouts will last a lifetime, but should the annuitant die during the first 10 years, the payments will continue to beneficiaries through the 10th year. Selection of such an option reduces the amount of the periodic payment. Annuity - An agreement by an insurer to make periodic payments that continue during the survival of the annuitant(s) or for a specified period from a capital investment and the gain from that investment. Assets - Assets refer to “all the available properties of every kind or possession of an insurance company that might be used to pay its debts.” There are three classifications of assets: invested assets, all other assets, and total admitted assets. Invested assets refer to things such as bonds, stocks, cash and income-producing real estate. All other assets refer to non-income producing possessions such as the building the company occupies, office furniture, and debts owed, usually in the form of deferred and unpaid premiums. Total admitted assets refer to everything a company owns. All other plus invested assets equal total admitted assets. By law, some states don’t permit insurance companies to claim certain goods and possessions, such as deferred and unpaid premiums, in the all other assets category, declaring them “non-admissible.”

Revised 08/01/2018

Attained Age - The insured’s age at a particular time. For example, many term life insurance certificates allow an insured to convert to permanent insurance without a physical examination at the insured’s then attained age. Upon conversion, the premium usually rises substantially to reflect the insured’s age and diminished life expectancy. Captive Agent - Representative of a single insurer or fleet of insurers who is obliged to submit business only to that company, or at the very minimum, give that company first refusal rights on a sale. In exchange, that insurer usually provides its captive agents with an allowance for office expenses as well as an extensive list of employee benefits such as pensions, life insurance, health insurance, and credit unions. Chargeback – A reversal of commissions originally paid to an agent. Reversals are due to lapses or surrenders that occur within the first 12 months of the certificate issue date. Currently, chargebacks are calculated at 50 percent. Commissions from certificates that are returned within the 30-day Free Look Period will be charged at a rate of 100%. Chargeback commissions and/or amounts may be changed without notice. Agents will be notified as soon as possible of changes to this policy. Churning – An illegal and unethical practice whereby an insurance agent unnecessarily replaces existing life insurance for the purpose of earning additional commissions. Claim - A demand made by the insured, or the insured’s beneficiary, for payment of the benefits as provided by the certificate. Commission - Fee paid to an agent or insurance salesperson as a percentage of the certificate premium. The percentage varies widely depending on coverage, the insurer and the marketing methods. Coverage - The scope of protection provided under an insurance certificate. Convertible - Term Life insurance coverage that can be converted into permanent insurance regardless of an insured’s physical condition and without a medical examination. The individual cannot be denied coverage or charged an additional premium for any health problems. Death Benefit - The limit of insurance or the amount of benefit that will be paid in the event of the death of a covered person. Dividend - The return of part of the certificate’s premium for a certificate issued on a participating basis by either a mutual or stock insurer. A portion of the surplus paid . Exclusions - Items or conditions that are not covered by the general insurance contract. Future Purchase Option (Guaranteed Insurability Option) - Life insurance provision that guarantees the insured the right to buy additional coverage without proving insurability. Also known as “insurability protection rider.” General Account - All premiums are paid into an insurer’s general account. Thus, buyers are subject to credit-risk exposure to the insurance company, which is low but not zero. Back to Table of Contents

AGENT RESOURCE SECTION

Revised 08/01/2018

Grace Period - The length of time (usually 31 days) after a premium is due and unpaid during which the certificate, including all riders, remains in force. If a premium is paid during the grace period, the premium is considered to have been paid on time. Guaranty Association - An organization of life insurance companies within a state responsible for covering the financial obligations of a member company that becomes insolvent. Hazardous Activity - Bungee jumping, scuba diving, horse riding and other activities not generally covered by standard insurance certificates. Indemnity - Restoration to the victim of a loss by payment, repair or replacement. Insurable Interest - Interest in property such that loss or destruction of the property could cause a financial loss. Investment Income - The return received by insurers from their investment portfolios including interest, dividends and realized capital gains on stocks. It doesn’t include the value of any stocks or bonds that the company currently owns. National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) - Association of state insurance commissioners whose purpose is to promote uniformity of insurance regulation, monitor insurance solvency and develop model laws for passage by state legislatures. Paid-Up Additional Insurance - An option that allows the certificate holder to use certificate dividends and/or additional premiums to buy additional insurance on the same plan as the basic certificate and at a face amount determined by the insured’s attained age. Policy - The written contract effecting insurance or the certificate thereof, by whatever name called, and including all clauses, riders, endorsements, and papers attached thereto and made a part thereof. Policy or Sales Illustration - Material used by an agent and insurer to show how a certificate may perform under a variety of conditions and over a number of years. Premium - The price of insurance protection for a specified risk for a specified period of time. Qualified Versus Non-Qualified Policies - Qualified plans are those employee benefit plans that meet Internal Revenue Service requirements as stated in IRS Code Section 401a. When a plan is approved, contributions made by the employer are tax deductible expenses. Rebating - The practice of returning the agent’s commission, or a portion of it, to the insured with the desire of assuring an insurance sale for the insurer. Reinsurance - Insurance that an insurance company buys for its own protection. The risk of loss is spread so a disproportionately large loss under a single certificate doesn’t fall on one company. Reinsurance enables an insurance company to expand its capacity; stabilize its underwriting results; finance its expanding volume; secure catastrophe protection against shock losses; withdraw from a line of business or a geographical area within a specified time period. Renewal - The automatic re-establishment of in-force status affected by the payment of another premium. Back to Table of Contents

Revised 08/01/2018

Reserve - An amount representing actual or potential liabilities kept by an insurer to cover debts to certificate holders. A reserve is usually treated as a liability. Section 1035 Exchange - This refers to a part of the Internal Revenue Code that allows owners to replace a life insurance or annuity certificate without creating a taxable event. Section 7702 - Part of the Internal Revenue Code that defines the conditions a life certificate must satisfy to qualify as a life insurance contract, which has tax advantages. Solvency - Having sufficient assets – capital, surplus, and reserves – and being able to satisfy financial requirements – investments, annual reports, examinations – to be eligible to transact insurance business and meet liabilities. State of Domicile - The state in which a company is incorporated or chartered. The company also is licensed under the state’s insurance statutes for those lines of business for which it qualifies. Surrender Charge - Fee charged to a certificate holder when a life insurance certificate or annuity is surrendered for its cash value. This fee reflects expenses the insurance company incurs by placing the certificate on its books, and subsequent administrative expenses. Surrender Period - A set amount of time during which you have to keep the majority of your money in an annuity contract. Most surrender periods last from 5 to 10 years. Most contracts will allow you to take out at least 10% a year of the accumulated value of the account, even during the surrender period. If you take out more than that 10%, you will have to pay a surrender charge on the amount that you have withdrawn above that 10%. Term Life Insurance - Life insurance that provides protection for a specified period of time. Common certificate periods are one year, five years, 10 years or until the insured reaches age 65 or 70. The certificate doesn’t build up any of the non-forfeiture values associated with Whole Life certificates. Tobacco Use - Is defined as any use of cigarettes, cigars, pipes, chewing tobacco or snuff, ecigarettes, vaping, nicotine gum or patches, water pipes and dissolvable tobacco. Total Admitted Assets - This item is the sum of all admitted assets, and are valued in accordance with state laws and regulations, as reported by the company in its financial statements filed with state insurance regulatory authorities. This item is reported net as to encumbrances on real estate (the amount of any encumbrances on real estate is deducted from the value of the real estate) and net as to amounts recoverable from reinsurers (which are deducted from the corresponding liabilities for unpaid losses and unearned premiums). Twisting - The act of inducing or attempting to induce a certificate owner to drop an existing life insurance certificate and to take another certificate that is substantially the same kind by using misrepresentations or incomplete comparisons of the advantages and disadvantages of the two certificate. Underwriter - The individual trained in evaluating risks and determining rates and coverage for them. Back to Table of Contents

AGENT RESOURCE SECTION

Revised 08/01/2018

The process also includes rejection of those risks that do not qualify. Universal Life Insurance - A combination flexible premium, adjustable life insurance certificate. Valuation - A calculation of the certificate reserve in life insurance. Variable Annuitization - The act of converting a variable annuity from the accumulation phase to the payout phase. Variable Life Insurance - A form of life insurance whose face value fluctuates depending upon the value of the dollar, securities or other equity products supporting the certificate at the time payment is due.

Benefits are variable based on the value of underlying equity investments, and premiums and benefits are adjustable at the option of the certificate holder. Viatical Settlement Provider - Someone who serves as a sales agent, but does not actually sell certificates. Waiver of Premium - A provision in some insurance contracts which enables an insurance company to waive the collection of premiums while keeping the certificate in force if the certificate holder becomes unable to work because of an accident or injury.

Whole Life Insurance - Life insurance which might be kept in force for a person’s whole life and which pays a benefit upon the person’s death, whenever that might be.

Replacement of Life Insurance or Annuities This document must be signed by the applicant and the producer, if there is one, and a copy left with the applicant.

You are contemplating the purchase of a life insurance certificate or annuity contract. In some cases this purchase may involve discontinuing or changing an existing policy or contract. If so, a replacement is occurring. Financed purchases are also considered replacements. A replacement occurs when a new certificate or contract is purchased and, in connection with the sale, you discontinue making premium payments on the existing policy or contract, or an existing policy or contract is surrendered, forfeited, assigned to the replacing insurer, or otherwise terminated or used in a financed purchase. A financed purchase occurs when the purchase of a new life insurance certificate involves the use of funds obtained by the withdrawal or surrender of or by borrowing some or all of the policy values, including accumulated dividends, of an existing policy to pay all or part of any premium or payment due on the new certificate. A financed purchase is a replacement. You should carefully consider whether a replacement is in your best interest. You will pay acquisition costs and there may be surrender costs deducted from your policy or contract. You may be able to make changes to your existing policy or contract to meet your insurance needs at less cost. A financed purchase will reduce the value of your existing policy and may reduce the amount paid upon the death of the insured.

We want you to understand the effects of replacements before you make your purchase decision and ask that you answer the following questions and consider the questions on the back of this form.

E L P M

1. Are you considering discontinuing making premium payments, surrendering, forfeiting, assigning to the insurer, or otherwise terminating your existing policy or contract? __________ YES __________ NO 2. Are you considering using funds from your existing policies or contracts to pay premiums due on the new certificate or contract? __________ YES __________ NO

A S

If you answered “yes” to either of the above questions, list each existing policy or contract you are contemplating replacing (include the name of the insurer, the insured or annuitant, and the policy or contract number if available) and whether each policy or contract will be replaced or used as a source of financing: INSURER CONTRACT OR INSURED OR REPLACED (R) OR NAME POLICY# ANNUITANT FINANCING (F) 1. 2.

Make sure you know the facts. Contact your existing company or its agent for information about the old policy or contract. If you request one, an in-force illustration, policy summary or available disclosure documents must be sent to you by the existing insurer. Ask for and retain all sales material used by the agent in the sales presentation. Be sure that you are making an informed decision. The existing policy or contract is being replaced because: ______________________________________________________________ I certify that the responses herein are, to the best of my knowledge, accurate: ______________________________ Applicant’s Signature and Printed Name

Life Insurance Buyer’s Guide This Buyer’s Guide is intended to help guide you when shopping for life insurance. It explains the importance of the following: ● ● ● ●

Examining your needs (Why are you purchasing life insurance?) Making sure you understand life insurance and the different plans available Determining which plan(s) meet your needs Other important information

EXAMINE YOUR NEEDS When you buy life insurance, you want coverage that fits your needs. Review your own insurance needs and circumstances. Choose the kind of policy(s) and benefits that most closely fit your needs. A comprehensive Needs Analysis is a dependable way to calculate the financial needs of surviving family members. Individuals and families using this form privately, or with the aid of a Hermann Sons Life agent, can closely determine current needs and anticipated future needs. Examining needs will help ascertain the amount of death benefit and the type(s) of life insurance plans to purchase.

E L P M

UNDERSTANDING LIFE INSURANCE

All life insurance plans are not the same. Certain plans give coverage for your lifetime and others cover you for a specific number of years. Some build cash value and others do not. Various plans may offer other benefits while you are still living. Your choice should be based on your needs and what you can afford. There are two basic types of life insurance: term life and whole life. Term insurance usually has lower premiums in the early years, but does not build up cash value like whole life insurance.

A S

Term Life plans provide coverage for a stated period of time. At the end of that term the contract ends or, depending on the certificate, may be renewed with premium rates based on the attained age. In a level term plan the coverage ends at a stated time and is not renewable. Generally in a level term plan, the premium payment and death benefit also are level. A renewable term plan may be renewed, without proof of medical insurability, at designated times until a specific age. Premiums at renewal will be based on attained age and therefore will be higher. Premium costs, after age 45, rise rapidly and may become unaffordable in senior years. Term Life does not have cash value or provisions for automatic premium loans. Premiums unpaid 30 days after the payment due date will lapse the contract. Many term plans have the option to convert to a Whole Life plan without evidence of medical insurability but with certain face value limits. In some Term Life plans a conversion credit is available to offset the initial premiums on the Whole Life plan. Whole Life plans are designed to provide coverage for the lifetime of the insured. Whole Life payments are typically level, but are initially more expensive than a Term Life plan for the younger and middleaged insured. A limited pay Whole Life plan may provide for payments to end after a specific number of years and the plan is then paid in full. Hermann Sons Life also offers an Annual Premium Flex Life plan which is a Whole Life certificate with an interest sensitive accumulation account. It has a level guaranteed death benefit with adjustable cash values. This is Page 1 of the Online Version. Also available in booklet form.

Now that the agent has collected your personal and medical information, here is what happens next: 1. The agent will review all medical and personal information collected on the application to verify accuracy and completeness. If all information is complete, the agent will deliver the application to the Underwriting Department for processing. If the agent discovers any information missing or incomplete, the agent may contact you to clarify. 2. Once your application is delivered to the Underwriting Department, it is input into our computer system to begin the formal review by the Underwriter. Based on your medical history, your personal avocations and the amount of insurance you are requesting, the Underwriter will decide whether or not a paramedical exam is required, if medical records will be requested or if a follow-up interview* is necessary.

E L P M

If a paramedical exam is not necessary, the Underwriter will determine whether or not your application for insurance can be approved at this time. Once you are approved, the Underwriter will issue your insurance contract and it is delivered to your local agent. Your local agent will then contact you to set an appointment to deliver your contract to you.

A S

If a paramedical exam is necessary, the Underwriter will order the exam from a third party at no cost to you! Paramedical exams are performed by licensed paramedical examiners in your area. The exams typically include questions about your medical history, your height and weight, blood pressure is taken and a urine specimen and blood sample may be collected. The paramedical exam typically takes at most 30 minutes to complete.

3. Once the Underwriter receives the results of the paramedical exam, the Underwriter will determine if further records or information are necessary and whether or not your application for insurance can be approved. If you are rated or declined, you are encouraged to contact the Underwriter to discuss the reasons for this decision. * Typically necessary when higher amounts of coverage are applied for.

Notice & Consent Form for AIDS Virus (HIV) Testing TO BE COMPLETED BY APPLICANT PLEASE PRINT IN BLUE OR BLACK INK ONLY

To evaluate your eligibility for insurance or insurance benefits, it is requested that you consent to be tested for the AIDS virus (HIV). By signing and dating this form, you agree that this test may be performed and that underwriting decisions will be based on the test results. DISCLOSURE OF TEST RESULTS: All test results will be treated confidentially. The results of the test will be reported to the insurer identified on this form. Results of the test will not otherwise be disclosed except as allowed by law or as stated below. MEANING OF TEST RESULTS: While positive HIV antibody results do not mean that you have AIDS, they do mean that you may be at increased risk of developing AIDS or AIDS-related conditions. The test is a test for antibodies to the HIV virus, the causative agent for AIDS, and shows whether you have been exposed to the virus. Positive HIV antibody test results could adversely affect your application for insurance. This means that your application may be declined, that an increased premium may be charged, or that other policy changes may be necessary. RELEASE OF RESULTS:

E L P M

A S

The results of this test may be released to the following: 1. The proposed insured. 2. The person legally authorized to consent to the test. 3. A licensed physician, medical practitioner, or other person designated by the proposed insured. 4. An insurance medical information exchange under procedures that are designed to assure confidentiality, including the use of general codes that also cover results of tests for other diseases or conditions not related to AIDS, or for the preparation of statistical reports that do not disclose the identity of any particular proposed insured. 5. A reinsurer, if the reinsurer is involved in the underwriting process, under procedures that are designed to assure confidentiality. 6. Persons who have the responsibility to make underwriting decisions on behalf of the insurer. 7. Insurer legal counsel who needs such information to effectively represent the insurer in regard to matters concerning the proposed insured. The Insurer may contact you for the name of a physician or other health care provider to whom you may authorize disclosure and with whom you may want to discuss the results.

Needs and Financial Objectives to Review Before the Purchase of an Annuity To be completed by Hermann Sons Life Agent (Definition of concepts on reverse side) 1. Is the applicant asking for a recommendation from the Hermann Sons Life Agent regarding the investment benefits of a Hermann Sons Life Annuity? ______ Yes - Continue to Questions 2, 3, 4 and 5. ______ No - The applicant has decided on the investment choice independently. Have member sign below that they do not wish information regarding how this annuity addresses their financial plans, tax status or how this product meets their overall investment objectives.

E L P M

2. Does the applicant understand the withdrawal restrictions and penalties during the first five years of the contract?

3. If the applicant is filing an annual federal income tax return, is he/she aware that the gain is taxable to them or their beneficiaries when withdrawn from the annuity and not as it is earned (tax deferred vs. tax free)?

A S

4. Is the applicant looking for a conservative investment product with safety of capital and a return that approximates a bank certificate of deposit (is the applicant risk adverse)? 5. What is the applicant’s investment objective during the next five years with this annuity? ______ Funds will be needed five or more years away ______ Accumulation of funds to leave to beneficiaries upon applicant’s death (If this is the goal, is a life insurance product better suited to the client’s needs?) ______ Other items or needs

Buyer’s Guide to Fixed-Rate Deferred Annuities This booklet is intended to help guide you when shopping for annuity products. It explains the importance of the following:

● ● ● ●

What is an annuity? What are the different types of annuities? How do I decide what is best for me? What other important information should I consider?

WHAT IS AN ANNUITY? An annuity is an investment contract sold by a life insurance company. It accumulates value and provides income for contract holders in their later years.

E L P M

You fund an annuity (in a single deposit or multiple deposits) and the insurer promises to pay out money from the annuity to you in a series of payments. Only an annuity can pay an income that can be guaranteed to last as long as you live. The annuitant can choose what type of payment schedule works best for them. An annuity may be qualified (Traditional IRA, ROTH IRA, etc.) or non-qualified.

A S

An annuity is not a savings account. It is a retirement account. If you buy an annuity, it should be for long-term financial planning. WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF ANNUITIES?

It’s important to understand the differences among various annuities so you can choose the kind that best fits your needs. Hermann Sons Life offers only fixed-rate annuities. Annuities differ in several ways: ● How many premiums you pay ● How the money in the annuity earns interest ● When the company makes income payments to you

How many premiums you pay: Single premium or multiple premium annuities You pay the insurance company only one payment for a single premium annuity. You make a series of payments for a multiple premium annuity; for one type of multiple premium annuity, a flexible premium annuity, you pay whenever you want, within set limits. How the money in an annuity earns interest: Fixed, variable and indexed annuities Fixed During the accumulation phase of a fixed deferred annuity, your money earns interest at rates set by the insurance company or in a way spelled out in the annuity contract. The company guarantees the contract will earn no less than a minimum rate of interest. Once you begin to receive payments in the annuitization phase, the amount of each payment is set and will not change. Hermann Sons Life sells only fixed annuities.

Life Insurance HERMANN SONS LIFE is committed to providing products that give our members the peace of mind, financial security and needs-based protection for each stage of their lives. At HERMANN SONS LIFE, we offer an uncomplicated portfolio of products that is extensive enough to meet all of your financial needs. NEWBORN HERMANN SONS LIFE offers a life insurance plan exclusively for newborns (10 to 90 days of age). For the low cost of just $1, parents can provide their newborn with $5,000 in term life insurance protection until the first day of the month that the newborn becomes 12 months of age. This plan provides life insurance protection to the newborn while giving parents time to research the value and benefits that HERMANN SONS LIFE has to offer the family with its permanent insurance plans. FORM HSL-NB-2017 TERM INSURANCE Term insurance provides you with coverage for a specified period of time. The advantage of purchasing a term policy is that it provides you with a high amount of protection at a low premium price. Our term plans offer a wide latitude of options to suit individual needs and changing circumstances. Currently there are three term life plans available – the Newborn Term, the 10Year Level Term (CT-10) and the 20-Year Level Term (CLT–20). FORM HSL-10T-2017 and FORM HSL-CLT-2017 WHOLE LIFE INSURANCE Whole Life is also known as permanent or traditional insurance. One of the advantages of purchasing Whole Life insurance is that Whole Life builds cash value and includes nonforfeiture options and riders. Our Flex Life Annual Premium Plan is an interest sensitive plan offered to juniors and adults. Premiums can be paid annually, semi-annually, quarterly, monthly or by monthly bank draft. We offer 20-Year Limited Pay Whole Life plans, one for juniors (J Plan) and one for adults (H Plan). We also have a Single Premium Life plan available to juniors (JSPL) and adults (SPL). With a single premium plan you pay the premium all at once when the plan is initially purchased.

SAFE PLAN With funerals averaging between $8,000 and $10,000 or more, it is a wise decision for anyone to make plans for final expenses. For senior adults, it is especially wise to consider available cash when thinking about final needs. A way of doing this is with the HERMANN SONS LIFE Senior Adult Final Expense life insurance product. The SAFE Plan is a single premium whole life product with issue ages from 50 through 89. The plan has an increasing death benefit. This increase is designed to help your death benefit keep up with inflation. No medical examination is required on applications to $10,000. A standard medical examination applies to larger amounts. FORM HSL-SAFE-2017
