**This is the net amount of death benefit that is still remaining after receiving the retirement income from the policy.
Your policys death benefit is generally paid to your beneficiary income tax-free.
The cash value accumulation in your permanent life insurance policy grows tax-
deferred.
You generally have tax-free access to your policy cash value, and can use partial
surrenders and policy loans to supplement your retirement income^.

When too much premium is contributed to a life insurance policy, a policy may be characterized as a MEC under
applicable federal tax rules. Under these rules, loans and partial surrenders from a MEC are taxed to the extent
of any gain in the policy. In addition, a 10 percent penalty tax may apply if you are under age 59 and . For
this reason, if you anticipate using your policy to provide an income stream in the future, you should ensure
that your payment of premiums and any other transactions with respect to your policy do not cause your policy
to become a MEC. Talk to your tax advisor for further details.
If a policy is not a Modified Endowment Contract (MEC), then loans generally are not taxable and a partial
surrender from the policy generally is taxable only to the extent that it exceeds the total investment in the
policy. However, certain partial surrenders made within the first 15 years after a policy is issued may be fully
or partially taxable. If a policy is a MEC, then partial withdrawals and loans are taxable to the extent of the
gain in the policy and, if the policyowner is under age 59 , may also be subject to a 10% penalty tax.
Taxable distributions from a policy would be taxed as ordinary income.
You can access the cash value in your policy via partial surrenders and policy loans which reduce the policys
cash value and death benefit. Loans also accrue interest.
Assuming your policy is not a MEC, once the distributions youve received from surrenders equal your policys
cost basis, further income can be generated by taking loans against the policy's remaining cash value. Interest
will be at current rates and added to the amount of the loan if not paid. Taking loans may provide for a federal
income tax-free income stream but will reduce the death benefit and cash value of the policy. Since these
policy values include non-guaranteed elements, the income stream funded by these policy values is not
guaranteed. Any outstanding loans (including interest) on a policy that has lapsed or is surrendered prior to
death will be considered income to the extent of gain in your policy and will be taxable to you. This is an
important consideration in deciding whether to take policy loans. Talk to your tax advisor.

This illustration shows two different cash flow scenarios. One is a full pay scenario, which assumes that you pay the Yearly
Guaranteed Premium at the beginning of each Year from out-of-pocket funds when it is due, that no policy loans are taken or repaid,
and that you do not surrender any Paid-Up Additional Insurance.
The second cash flow scenario assumes that you take distributions from the policy at some point in the form of policy loans, or by
surrendering Paid-Up Additional Insurance. Such distributions may lower your out of pocket cost in some years or provide income to
meet a need, but they will result in lower cash value and death benefit and may result in tax consequences to you.
The following sections of this illustration assume that you take distributions from your policy, and demonstrate the impact on your
policy:
The evaluation of the Modified Endowment Contract (MEC) status of this illustration is based on the assumed premium funding and
distributions shown in the Supplemental Illustration of Cash Flows. Based on the scenario shown in the Supplemental Illustration of
Cash Flows, this policy will not become a MEC in any year.
It is important for you to know that actual premium payments into, or distributions from your policy that differ from those shown in the
Supplemental Illustration of Cash Flows including those shown in the full pay scenario described above may result in a different
MEC evaluation. For more information about Modified Endowment Contracts please refer to the Narrative Summary, or speak with your
tax advisor.

What is a dividend?
When you purchase a participating life insurance policy, you pay premiums in exchange for
death benefit protection and tax-deferred cash value growth.
After paying claims and expenses, and putting aside the needed reserves for future
benefitsas well as surplus to cushion against unforeseen eventswe then determine the
amount of remaining surplus to distribute to our policyholders. This is called the dividend.
1
Its important to remember that dividends are not guaranteed. Some policies are participating, but are not expected to receive dividends.
3
What is a dividend interest rate?
The dividend interest rate (DIR) is a factor used within the investment
component of the dividend calculation. It is important to note that
the DIR is not a rate of return the client will earn. There is no standard
practice that companies have to follow in determining their DIRs. On its
own, the DIR should not be used to evaluate policies in terms of cost,
benefits, and performance. However, it can be useful to look at the
relative year-over-year changes in companies DIRs.
Bottom line: The company with the highest DIR may not pay the highest
dividend, and a higher DIR may not necessarily result in a higher cash
value or larger death benefit in the long term. The DIR is one of several
factors to consider when comparing policies.

Permanent life insurance gives you the flexibility
to make the most of your financial portfolio.
By diversifying with whole life insurance from New York Life Insurance, you can access your policy's cash
value to pay for expenses as your life insurance needs decrease in retirement.3 Withdrawing money from
the cash value in your insurance policy instead of an investment account has the greatest impact in the
years after your portfolio experiences a loss. This allows your account more opportunity to recover,
helping to preserve your wealth.

implications for policies recognized as modified endowment contracts (MECs) or if you partially surrender your policy for an amount that exceeds the cost
basis of the policy. However, certain partial surrenders made within the first 15 years after a policy is issued may be fully or partially taxable. Distributions,
including loans, from an MEC are taxable to the extent of the gain in the policy and may also be subject to a 10% additional tax if the owner is under age 59.
