1 The Rider is attached to the policy when
it is issued. If the Rider benefit is elected, the policy will not lapse
even if policy loans exceed the surrender value. There is no charge for
the Rider unless the benefit is elected, when a one-time charge of 4.5% of
the policy value will be deducted. The Rider benefit is only available if
certain conditions are met. These conditions include, that are not limited
to, the requirement that the policy be in force for 15 years, the insured
has attained age 75, the sum of all withdrawals must be at least equal to
the sum of all premiums paid, and the Death Benefit selected under the
policy must be Death Benefit Option 1. The Rider benefit is not available
if the policy is a Modified Endowment Contract (MEC) or would become a MEC
upon exercise. Please consult your tax advisor before electing benefits
under the Rider. For more information on the terms, conditions, and use of
the Rider please refer to the policy contract and prospectus.
2 Partial withdrawals and surrenders from life policies
are generally taxed as ordinary income to the extent the surrender
proceeds exceed your investment in the contract, which is also called the
“basis.” In some situations, partial withdrawals during the first 15
policy years may result in taxable income prior to recovery of the
investment in the contract. Loans are generally not taxable if taken from
a life insurance policy that is not a modified endowment contract.
However, when cash values are used to repay a loan, the transaction is
treated like a withdrawal and taxed accordingly. Unpaid interest on loans
is added to the loan principal, thereby increasing the total debt on the
policy. The combination of an increasing loan balance, and deductions for
contract charges and fees, may cause the policy to lapse, triggering
ordinary income tax on the outstanding loan balance to the extent it
exceeds the cost basis in the policy. If a policy is a modified endowment
contract, loans are treated as taxable distributions to the extent of the
policy gain. Loans, withdrawals and surrenders are treated first as
distributions of the policy gain subject to ordinary income taxation, and
may also be subject to an additional 10% penalty tax if made prior to age
59 ˝. Loans, if not repaid, reduce the policy’s death benefit and cash
surrender value. Please note that neither Lincoln Benefit Life Company,

apply.
