IRS Annuity Aggregation RulesUnder IRS regulations, all deferred annuity contracts issued by the same insurance company to the same policyholder during a calendar year are treated as one annuity contract. Under the IRS aggregation rules, all amounts received from such annuities are aggregated for tax calculation and tax reporting purposes.

Notice for Annuity Purchases in Qualified PlansThe reasons for the purchase of a variable annuity should not include tax deferral when the annuity is intended for use in a tax-qualified retirement plan such as a 401(k), IRA, SEP, or 403(b). The tax deferral is already provided by the tax-qualified retirement plan. In these situations, the reasons for the purchase of a variable annuity should focus on other benefits, such as lifetime income payments, family protection through an enhanced death benefit, multiple fund managers and guaranteed fees.

Qualified Plan/Charitable Remainder Trust Tax ReportingThe Penn Mutual Life Insurance Company will not be responsible for any administration or tax reporting for any of the contracts or policies that it issues for the Trust. The Plan Trustee will be responsible for all administration, including tax reporting, trust account-ing, calculation of trust distribution requirements, annual trust return filings, etc. The Trustee may, at his/her discretion, retain a qualified third-party administrator (TPA) to perform administration and tax reporting.

Deferred Annuity Contracts Owned by Non-Natural EntitiesDeferred annuity contracts owned by non-natural entities do not qualify for tax-deferred treatment of gains in the contract.

Section 403(b) Annuity Contract Restriction for Contract Owners under 591/2In connection with my application for a 403(b) Contract, I understand the restrictions on withdrawals from the contract or account as imposed by Section 403(b)(11) of the Internal Revenue Code. I understand that this contract is not subject to the requirements of ERISA. Further, I understand the other investment alternatives, if any, that may be available to me under my employerʼs Sections 403(b) arrangement to which I may elect to transfer my contract or account value and I understand that the same restric-tions on withdrawals would apply to such investment alternatives.

IMPORTANT NOTICE:

REPLACEMENT OF LIFE INSURANCE AND 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 policy or annuity contract. In some casesthis purchase may involve discontinuing or changing an existing life insurance policy or annuity contract. If so, a replacement is occurring. Financed purchases are also considered replacements.

A replacement occurs when a new life insurance policy or annuity contract is purchased and, in connection with the sale, you discontinue making premium payments on the existing life insurance policy or annuity contract, or an existing life insurance policy or annuity 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 policy or annuity contract 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 life insurance policy or annuity contract, to pay all or part of any premium or payment due on the new life insurance policy or annuity contract. A financed purchase is a replacement.

You should carefully consider whether a replacement is in your best interest. You will payacquisition costs and there may be surrender costs deducted from your life insurance policy or annuity contract. You may be able to make changes to your existing life insurance policy or annuity contract to meet your insurance needs at less cost. A financed purchase will reduce the value of your existing life insurance policy or annuity contract 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 decisionand ask that you answer the following questions and consider the questions on the back of thisform.

1. Are you considering discontinuing making premium payments, surrendering, forfeiting, assigning to the insurer,or otherwise terminating your existing life insurance policy or annuity contract? YES NO

2. Are you considering using funds from your existing life insurance policy or annuity contract to pay premiums due on the new life insurance policy or annuity contract? YES NO

If you answered "yes" to either of the above questions, list each existing life insurance policy or annuity 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 life insurance policy or annuity contract will be replaced or used as a source of financing.

Make sure you know the facts. Contact your existing company or its insurance producer for information about the old life insurance policy or annuity 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 insurance producer in the sales presentation. Be sure that you are making a informed decision.

You have the right to return the new life insurance policy or annuity contract within 30 days of the delivery of the life insurance policy or annuity contract and receive an unconditional full refund of all premiums or considerations paid on it including any policy fees or charges or, in the case of a variable or market value adjustment policy or contract, a payment of the cash surrender value provided under the life insurance policy or annuity contract plus the fees or other charges deducted from the gross premiums or considerations imposed under such life insurance policy or annuity contract.

The existing life insurance policy or annuity contract is being replaced because

I certify that the responses herein are, to the best of my knowledge, accurate:The insurance producer (check one) did did not read aloud this notice to the applicant.

Applicant’s Signature and Printed Name Date

Producer’s Signature and Printed Name Date

I do not want this notice read aloud to me. (Applicant must initial only if they do not want the notice read aloud.)

A replacement may not be in your best interest, or your decision could be a good one. You should make a careful comparison of the costs and benefits of your existing life insurance policy or annuity contract and the proposed life insurance policy or annuity contract. One way to do this is to ask the company or insurance producer that sold you your existing life insurance policy or annuity contract to provide you with information concerning your existing life insurance policy or annuity contract. This may include an illustration of how your existing life insurance policy or annuity contract is working now and how it would perform in the future based on certain assumptions. Illustrations should not, however, be used as a sole basis to compare policies or contracts. You should discuss the following with your insurance producer to determine whether replacement or financing your purchase makes sense.

Loans being carried over to the Accumulation Builder Flexible Premium Adjustable Indexed Life Insurance Policy must elect an interest option below to apply to the transferred loan.

Traditional Loan Option: Loan is first deducted from the Fixed Account, then from the Holding and Indexed Accounts. This loan option credits an interest rate equal to the policy loan rate that is charged on the loan amount after the first 10 policy years. The credited loan interest rate is decreased by 1% for loans taken out in the first 10 policy years.

Indexed Loan Option: Available only in the cash surrender value in the Indexed Account segments. The outstanding loan amount continues to earn an interest rate based on the indexed credit for the segment(s) from which the money was borrowed. The cost of the loan is the difference between the declared variable loan rate charged and the indexed credit for mature account segments. If there is not enough money in the indexed account to cover the loan, funds must be transferred from the Fixed Account on the segment date in order to take the full loan amount. However, there is a risk that the interest rate credited can fall below the rate being charged on the loan - but never less than the 2 percent floor.

1035 EXCHANGE DISCLOSURE STATEMENT

Generally, the surrender of an existing insurance or annuity contract is a taxable event; the contract owner mustrecognize any gain on the original, surrendered contract as current income. IRS section 1035 provides a tax-freemethod of exchanging an existing life, endowment or annuity contract for a new contract. If the exchange meets the conditions of Section 1035 of the Internal Revenue Code, the transfer will be a non-taxable event.

No limit is imposed on the number of contracts that can be exchanged for the one contract. However, allcontracts must be on the same insured and have the same owner. Changes in ownership may occur after theexchange is completed. The contracts must be life insurance, endowment or annuity contracts issued by a lifeinsurance company. Exchanges must be: from a life insurance contract to a life insurance contract; from a lifeinsurance contract to an annuity contract; from an endowment contract to an annuity contract or from an annuitycontract to an annuity contract.

For a transaction to qualify as a 1035 Exchange, the original contract must actually be exchanged for a newcontract. It is not sufficient for the policy owner to receive a check and apply the proceeds to the purchase of anew contract. The exchange must take place between the two insurance companies. Receipt by the policy ownerof any portion of the surrender proceeds from contracts being exchanged may be treated as a taxable event. Thisincludes outstanding policy loans extinguished during the exchange process.

The policyowner has several ways to deal with an outstanding loan on the original life policy. The loan can beextinguished or canceled at the time of the exchange. If there is a gain in the contract, cancellation of the loan onthe original policy is considered a distribution and may be a taxable event. To avoid this result, the policyownercan pay off the existing loan prior to the exchange. A second way of avoiding a taxable event due to the loanwould be for the old loan to be carried over onto the new contract.

Life insurance contracts issued before June 21, 1988 may lose preferential tax treatment afforded them underInternal Revenue Code Section 7702 and 7702A under certain circumstances in a 1035 Exchange. The new policymay be classified as a modified endowment contract (“MEC”)and taxed accordingly. Most single premium lifeinsurance policies issued after June 21, 1988 are characterized as MECs. If two or more policies are exchangedfor a single contract and at least one of the existing contracts is a MEC, the new policy will also be a MEC.

The contract owner must indicate that a Section 1035 Exchange is being initiated at the time the new applicationis completed. The policy owner and the Internal Revenue Service will receive an Internal Revenue Form 1099Rfrom the original company indicating that an exchange has been made.

For Annuity Contracts only, you should be aware that some insurance companies do not recognize partial 1035 exchanges. If you are partially exchanging into Penn Mutual/PIA, your existing annuity issuer (the tax reporting agent for the transaction) may report your partial exchange as a taxable event to the extent of any gain distributed; they may also report that the taxable portion of thedistribution is subject to a 10% early withdrawal penalty. If this occurs, it will be your responsibility to claim this transaction as a tax-free 1035 exchange on your income tax return.

The foregoing discussion is general and is not intended as tax advice. Your independent tax advisor should beconsulted for more complete information. This discussion is based on the Company’s understanding of federalincome tax laws as they are currently interpreted by the Internal Revenue Service. Penn Mutual makes norepresentations or guarantees and assumes no liability with regard to the tax consequences of this exchange.

I hereby acknowledge that I have received, read and signed a copy of the above“Section1035 DisclosureStatement”andfully understand the importance of correctly determining the tax status of all policies to beexchanged as well as the possible tax consequences which can result under the situations described above.
