Change Form.

NAMING A FUNERAL HOME AS A BENEFICIARY: When a funeral home is named as the beneficiary, there is a possibility
that the proceeds from the policy may exceed the cost of the funeral. The funeral home may not be obligated to refund the
remainder of the proceeds. You may have the option to collaterally assign the policy instead. You may wish to speak with your
agent, attorney or financial planner for additional information on establishing payment to a funeral home.
COLLATERAL ASSIGNMENTS: Payment of proceeds to any beneficiary is subject to the interest of any collateral assignee on
the policy.
IRREVOCABLE BENEFICIARIES: To name your beneficiary as irrevocable, please write “Irrevocable” next to the name of the
beneficiary on the form. If a beneficiary is named as irrevocable, the beneficiary designation cannot be changed without the
consent of the irrevocable beneficiary. Any irrevocable beneficiary must sign this and any subsequent beneficiary change requests.
The irrevocable beneficiary may be required to sign other requests for changes to, or disbursements from, the policy.
TRUST/MINOR BENEFICIARIES: If a trust is named beneficiary, the Company shall not be responsible for the disposition by
the trustee of any proceeds paid to the trustee. Any payment to a minor beneficiary shall be made to the legally appointed guardian
of the estate or conservator of the minor, unless otherwise permitted by law.
PER STIRPES DESIGNATIONS: A per stirpes designation will direct death benefits to lineal descendants of the beneficiary if
the beneficiary is not living at the time of claim. You may wish to seek legal counsel regarding use of per stirpes designations.
PERCENTAGES: Please do not specify dollar amounts. Use percentages totaling 100% for primary and contingent designations.
Primary beneficiaries should total 100% and contingent beneficiaries should independently total 100%.
