Product GuideChange in Death Benefit OptionThe policy owner may change the death benefit option after the third policy year. Changes in the deathbenefit option are limited to once per year. No change in the option will be allowed if the new FaceAmount would be less than the Minimum Face Amount for the policy and risk class. Just after an optionchange is elected, the net amount at risk will be the same, but may change thereafter. Death benefitoption changes are not permitted after attained age 95.Increases and Decreases of the Face Amount Insurance objectives can change over time as the client’s income changes, the client’s family situationchanges, or for any other reason. As situations change, the amount of necessary insurance coveragecan also change. We provide clients the ability to adjust their Face Amounts if their needs change.Adjustments can only be made once in any twelve-month period.IncreasesWe allow the client to increase the Face Amount after the first policy year (subject to age andunderwriting limitations at the time the change is requested) prior to age 86. The minimum increaseamount is $25,000. Additional surrender charges will apply to increases in the Face Amount. Noincreases are allowed on policies issued in the state of Arizona.DecreasesDecreases in the Face Amount are permitted after the third policy year. The minimum decreaseamount is $25,000. Prior to the later of age 65 or the end of the surrender charge period, we maylimit decreases to no more than 20% of the Face Amount prior to the decrease. A decrease will not beallowed if the new Face Amount would be less than the minimum Face Amount for the policy and riskclass, or if it would violate section 7702 requirements.PremiumsSubject to certain limitations, this policy provides flexible premium payment options. Payments can beincreased or decreased, made more or less frequently provided there is sufficient Cash Surrender Value*to cover the Monthly Deductions and the Index Account Monthly Charge.Net PremiumsNet premiums are equal to gross premiums paid less applicable premium expense charges. Netpremiums are allocated to the Basic Interest Account or an Index Account in accordance with the policyholder’s direction. The allocation percentage must be a whole number and not a fraction. We mustreceive notification in writing to transfer money or change the Net Premium allocation. Change in NetPremium allocation is only allowed once per month with the effective date on the next Monthly Date.There is no charge for changing the Net Premium allocation.Minimum Monthly No-Lapse Premium The Minimum Monthly No-Lapse Premium is the minimum premium required to keep the No-LapseGuarantee in effect. Until the No-Lapse Guarantee period ends, a policy will not lapse for insufficientCash Surrender Value provided the cumulative Minimum Monthly No-Lapse Premium requirementsnet of any cumulative withdrawals and any loan balance are met. Policy and rider changes will alter theMinimum Monthly No-Lapse Premium.* Cash Surrender Value is the amount available upon surrender. Cash Surrender Value equals the Policy Value less any surrender charge,less any loan balance.t r a n s a m e r i c a | 5


Freedom Global <strong>IUL</strong> II SMFreedom Index Universal Life II SMPayment of the no-lapse premium assures that the policy will remain in force during the guaranteeperiod. However, by paying only the no-lapse premium, the client may be forgoing the opportunity tobuild up additional Policy Value. We reserve the right to require that the policy will not be issued foran initial premium plus planned premiums for the No-Lapse Guarantee period that are less than thecumulative Minimum Monthly No-Lapse Premium required during that period. If base or rider coveragehas been added or reduced during the No-Lapse period, the Company will recalculate the MinimumMonthly No-Lapse Premium to reflect the new coverage. However, the No-Lapse Guarantee period willnot be extended.No-Lapse Guarantee* PeriodWe will guarantee the death benefit, regardless of Policy Value during the Minimum No-Lapse Guaranteeperiod, providing the cumulative Minimum Monthly No-Lapse Premium requirements net of anycumulative withdrawals and any loan balance are met.The No-Lapse Guarantee period is based on issue age.Issue Ages 0 – 60: lesser of 20 years or until age 65Issue Ages 61 – 85: 5 yearsIf the requirements of the No-Lapse Guarantee are not met and the Cash Surrender Value is not enoughto meet the Monthly Deductions and Index Account Monthly Charge, a grace period will begin and thepolicy will lapse unless sufficient payment is made. The grace period is 61 days. Allowing the policy tolapse may result in adverse tax consequences.Tax-Free Loans and Withdrawals**Subject to certain limitations, the policy’s Cash Surrender Value can be accessed through policy loansand withdrawals for uses such as college expenses, supplemental retirement income and other needs.Loans**Here are some important details regarding loans:n The portion of the Policy Value borrowed is secured by transferring that amount from the BasicInterest or Index Account to the loan reserve.n Current loan interest rate on Indebtedness is 2.75% in arrears (current preferred rate after 10 PolicyYears is 2.00% on Policy Value in excess of premiums less withdrawals and outstanding loans).n Maximum loan guaranteed interest rate is 3.00% (maximum preferred rate after 10 Policy Years is2.25% on Policy Value in excess of premiums less withdrawals and outstanding loans).n Loan reserve is credited with interest at 2.00% in arrears.* After the No-Lapse Guarantee Period or if the cumulative Minimum Monthly No-Lapse Premium requirements are not met, thenfluctuations in interest rates and/or policy charges may require the payment of additional premiums to keep the policy in force.Guarantees are based on the claims paying ability of the Company.** Distributions such as loans and withdrawals can only be made if the policy has been in force long enough to accumulate sufficientvalue. Loans and withdrawals will reduce the policy value and death benefit. Loans are subject to interest charges. If a policy lapseswhile a loan is outstanding, adverse tax consequences may result. Policy loans are generally not taxable when taken and cashwithdrawals are not taxable until they exceed basis in the policy.

Freedom Global <strong>IUL</strong> II SMFreedom Index Universal Life II SMAccount OptionsPolicy owners can choose between an Index Account, the Basic Interest Account, or any combination ofthe two. The Account Options consist of one or more Segments to which net premiums and/or transfersof Policy Values have been allocated. The value of an Account Option is the sum of its Segment values.Each Segment will end on its first anniversary, one year from the beginning date of that Segment. Eachnet premium or transfer is allocated to a Segment associated with the policy month in which it wasreceived. At the end of each Segment Period, a new Segment Period begins with the value from theprior Period.Index AccountsEach <strong>IUL</strong> product offers its own unique Index Account with an associated Cap.The Global Index Account is available in the Freedom Global <strong>IUL</strong> II policy.The S&P 500 ® Index Account is available in the Freedom Index Universal Life II policy.CapThe maximum Index Change percentage that can be used in the calculation of Excess Index Interest thatcan be credited to an Index Account Segment for that Segment’s current 12–month Segment Period. At theend of each Segment Period, we compare the Cap rate declared at the beginning of that Segment to thecalculated Index Change percentage. The interest crediting rate equals the lesser of the Cap or the IndexChange percentage.The Cap is set by the Company at its discretion at the beginning of each Segment Period and may differbetween Index Account Segments. Once a Cap is declared for a Segment, it applies until the beginning ofthe next Segment Period.Policy owners will only be informed in writing of the current Caps when they receive theirAnnual Statements.Basic Interest AccountThe portion of the Policy Value allocated to the Basic Interest Account earns interest at rates declared bythe Company. The interest rates on the Basic Interest Account Segments will never be less than an effectiveannual rate of 2.00%, but there is no guarantee that the rates will be greater than 2.00%.We will credit interest to each Basic Interest Account Segment on each Monthly Date. At the end of theSegment Period, we will declare an interest rate that will apply until the end of the next Segment Period.TransfersTransfers from an Index Account to the Basic Interest Account are only allowed at the end of an IndexAccount Segment Period. Transfers from the Basic Interest Account to an Index Account are only allowedon the first day of a policy month, which generally does not correspond to the calendar month.Unless otherwise specified, references to “Index Account” are intended to mean both the S&P 500 ® IndexAccount in the Freedom Index Universal Life II and the Global Index Account in the Freedom Global <strong>IUL</strong> II.8 | Freedom Global <strong>IUL</strong> II SM | Freedom Index Universal Life II SM Product Guide


Product GuideThe Freedom Global <strong>IUL</strong> IIGlobal Index AccountInstead of crediting interest at an interest rate declared in advance, Excess Index Interest may be creditedto each Global Index Account Segment as of the end of the Segment Period. Any Excess Index Interestcredited to the Global Index Account is based, in part, on changes in the S&P 500 ® Index, the EURO STOXX50 ® Index and the Hang Seng Index, excluding dividend income. Amounts allocated to the Global IndexAccount earn interest at a guaranteed minimum effective annual interest rate of 1% throughout eachSegment Period.At the end of each Global Index Account Segment Period, We determine whether any Excess Index Interest(interest exceeding guaranteed minimum interest) will be credited for the Segment Period just ended. Theamount of the Excess Index Interest credited at the end of the Segment Period depends on the value in theGlobal Index Account at the beginning of the Segment Period, any change in a weighted average of thevalues of the indexes, and the applicable Cap. Monthly deductions, index account monthly charges, andpolicy owner transactions such as loans or withdrawals will reduce the amount of Excess Index Interest.No Excess Index Interest is credited during the Segment Period. Any Policy Values determined duringthe Segment Period, including the net death benefit or cash surrender value, will be based only on theguaranteed minimum interest credited throughout the Segment Period.Index DescriptionsS&P 500 ® IndexThe S&P 500 ® Index tracks 500 large cap common stocks actively traded in the United States, and is oneof the most well known market benchmarks.EURO STOXX 50 ® IndexThe EURO STOXX 50 ® Index is comprised of 50 large cap stocks from leading European blue-chipcompanies.

Amounts allocated to the S&P 500 ® Index Account earn interest at a guaranteed minimum effectiveannual interest rate of 1% throughout each Segment Period.The amount of Excess Index Interest credited at the end of the Segment Period depends on the value in theS&P 500 ® Index Account at the beginning of the Segment Period, any change in the value of the index, andthe applicable Cap.

We startwith any value renewing from a prior Segment Period, after we have applied any Excess Index Interestfor that period and deducted any transfers from the Segment occurring at that time. Then we add anynet premiums, loan repayments and transfers applied to the Segment on its Beginning Date. Finally,we subtract amounts due to the following activity occurring during the Segment Period:1. Any amounts deducted for withdrawals;2. Any amounts transferred for Policy loans; and3. One half of the amounts taken for Monthly Deductions and one half of the Index AccountMonthly Charges.c: Any interest previously credited to the Segment during the Segment Period at the Index AccountGuaranteed Minimum Interest Rate.The Excess Index Interest credited to an Index Account Segment will never be less than zero.t r a n s a m e r i c a | 13


Freedom Global <strong>IUL</strong> II SMFreedom Index Universal Life II SMPolicy ValueThe Policy Value is the starting point for calculating important values under the policy, such as the CashSurrender Value* and, in some circumstances, the net death benefit. There is no guaranteed minimumPolicy Value. The policy may lapse if the client does not have sufficient Policy Value in the policy to paythe Monthly Deductions, the Index Account Monthly Charge, the surrender charge and/or any outstandingloan amount and accrued loan interest. The Policy Value is comprised of the value of the Basic InterestAccount, the Index Account and the loan reserve.ReinstatementThe owner may elect to reinstate the policy within three years of the date the policy lapses. Evidence ofinsurability is required to reinstate, and the Insured must qualify for the same class of risk.If the No-Lapse Period has expired, the amount required to reinstate would be equal to:n One Monthly Deduction and Index Account Monthly Charge due at the time of termination, plusn Two Monthly Deductions and Index Account Monthly Charges due in advance at the time of reinstatement,plusn An amount sufficient to increase the Policy Value above any surrender charge.The amount needed to reinstate the policy during the No-Lapse Guarantee Period would be the lesser ofthe above or:n The total Minimum Monthly No-Lapse Premium from issue through the month of lapse, plus;n Two months of Minimum Monthly No-Lapse Premium, minus;n Any premiums already paid net of any withdrawals and loan balance.The No-Lapse Period is not extended by the amount of time the policy was in a lapse status.The Company will not reinstate a Loan Balance on the contract. The period of time in which the policywas in a lapse status does not count toward the surrender charge period. Therefore, a policy that lapsesin year 5 and is reinstated in year 8 will have 5 years left of surrender charges.Summary of ChargesPremium Expense ChargeThe following charge is applied to all premium payments, including 1035 Exchanges, prior to thepayment being allocated to the account options.Current & Guaranteed: 6%In Puerto Rico: Current: 10% Guaranteed Maximum: 12%Index Account Monthly ChargeThe Index Account Monthly Charge is 0.06% of the Index Account Value (current and guaranteed). Thischarge is taken on the monthly policy date through age 120, from the highest numbered segment first.* Cash Surrender Value is the amount available upon surrender. Cash Surrender Value equals the Policy Value less any surrender charge,less any loan balance.14 | Freedom Global <strong>IUL</strong> II SM | Freedom Index Universal Life II SM Product Guide


Product GuideMonthly DeductionsMonthly Deductions will be taken from the Basic Interest Account and the Index Account in proportionto the values of those accounts on the Monthly Date. The Monthly Date is the same day in each monthas the policy date. Monthly Deductions will be taken from the highest numbered Segment first and thenfrom the next highest numbered Segment.On each Monthly Date, a deduction will be made from the Policy Value equal to the sum of the:Monthly Policy Fee: Current $10Guaranteed Maximum $12Monthly cost of insurance charge: The current monthly cost of insurance (COI) charge depends onseveral factors such as the Face Amount, class of risk, age, gender, duration, as well as the differencebetween the Policy Value and death benefit. The COI charges will vary each month. Please see the policyfor details.Monthly Expense Charge: The Monthly Expense Charge is shown in the policy data pages. On a currentbasis, this charge applies for the first 8 policy years and 8 years from the date of any requested increasein Face Amount. On a guaranteed basis, this charge applies for eight years from issue or increase datefor ages 0-60 and through age 120 for issue ages 61-85 for states other than Florida. In Florida, the guaranteedcharge applies through age 120 for all issue ages. This charge varies by issue age, sex, band andtobacco use. This charge is also applied to any Additional Insured Rider for eight years from rider issuedate and eight years from the date of any increase in rider Face Amount. Any change in the MonthlyExpense Charge will be applied uniformly to all policies with the same Face Amount, age, sex and classof risk that have been in effect for the same length of time.Rider charges, if any.Flat extra or table substandard ratings, if any.We have the right to change current charges and cost of insurance rates. We may not charge more thanthe guaranteed maximum charges or rates. Any changes to charges or rates will be based on our expectationsas to future cost factors. Such cost factors may include, but are not limited to, mortality, interest,persistency, expenses, reinsurance costs, and state and federal taxes.Surrender ChargesThe surrender charge is a charge for each $1,000 of the initial Face Amount and each increase in FaceAmount. Surrender charges apply for the first 10 policy years and for ten years from the date of any FaceAmount increase. This charge is subtracted from the Policy Value in determining the Cash SurrenderValue available to the policy owner. Charges are based on the Face Amount band and the insured’s issueage, gender and class of risk. These charges may be significant and should be carefully considered beforesurrendering the contract. The amount received upon full surrender is the Policy Value less any surrendercharges, any policy loan outstanding and any interest due on policy loans.t r a n s a m e r i c a | 15

This option is available at no additional cost.Guidelines for establishing the IPO benefit:■■■■■■Minimum lump-sum benefit amount: $10,000 (if elected)Minimum monthly guaranteed income stream duration: 5 yearsMaximum monthly guaranteed income stream duration: 25 years■■Minimum monthly benefit amount: $100The beneficiary may not alter the payments once established.The Overloan Protection Rider (OPR)The Overloan Protection Rider (OPR) can keep a life insurance policy from lapsing while a loan is outstanding. Ifcertain requirements are met and the policy owner chooses to exercise the option, the policy will become a paidup policy with a small death benefit. Keeping the policy inforce prevents the loans from being taxable, and stillprovides some of the death benefit to beneficiaries.There is no charge for this rider unless it is exercised. If the owner elects to exercise the OPR, a one-time chargewill be assessed as a percentage of the policy value, based on the age of the insured (see chart below).Age 75–90 91 92 93 94–120Percentage 5% 4% 3% 2% 1%The election to exercise the OPR is irrevocable. Once the Rider Benefit has been exercised, all other ridersattached to the policy will terminate and no further policy activity will be allowed. Also, no further loans will beallowed, but loan interest will continue to accrue. Repayment of interest or principal will be accepted. This is nota comprehensive description of the conditions that must be met, or the resulting effects of OPR election.

Important InformationThe Freedom Global <strong>IUL</strong> II (Policy Form #<strong>IUL</strong>05) and the Freedom Index Universal Life II (Policy Form #<strong>IUL</strong>04) are indexuniversal life insurance policies issued by Transamerica Life Insurance Company. Policy form and number may vary,and this product may not be available in all jurisdictions.Even though the interest credited to the policy’s Index Accounts may be affected by the index(es), these life insurancepolicies are not an investment in the stock market(s) or the index(es) and do not participate in any stock orinvestments.The policies are subject to the insurance laws and regulations of each state or jurisdiction in which they are availablefor distribution. All state specific policy features will be described in the policies.Information About Federal Tax LawsIn this guide, references to the IRC mean the IRC of 1986, as amended. IRC Sections 7702 and 7702A are discussed ina limited fashion. Transamerica Life Insurance Company and its representatives do not give tax advice, nor should anyinformation contained herein be construed as tax advice.This material was not intended or written to be used, and cannot be used, to avoid penalties imposed under theInternal Revenue Code. This information was written to support the promotion or marketing of the products, services,and/or concepts addressed in this material. Anyone to whom the product described in this material is promoted,marketed, or recommended should be urged to consult with and rely solely on their own independent advisorsregarding their particular situation and the concepts presented here.<strong>IUL</strong> satisfies the definition of a life insurance contract using either the Guideline Premium Test method or the CashValue Accumulation Test method under IRC Section 7702/7702A.The Guideline Premium Test (GPT) places limits on the amount of premiums that can be paid. The initial limit is theGuideline Single Premium, until a number of policy years have passed and the sum of the Guideline Level Premiumsexceeds the Guideline Single Premium. The GPT method also requires that a certain margin be maintained betweenthe death benefit and the accumulation value until attained age 95 of the insured. Without this prescribed margin,the contract would no longer qualify as a life insurance contract for federal income tax purposes. To comply with therequirements of IRC Section 7702, the GPT version uses the Death Benefit Factors prescribed in the IRC Section 7702to maintain the required margin between the accumulation value and the death benefit. Therefore, as needed, thedeath benefit is increased, causing the death benefit to go into “corridor” to maintain the policy’s qualification as lifeinsurance. When a policy is in corridor, it may result in a larger amount at risk and larger monthly deductions, whichleads to lower cash value accumulation.The Cash Value Accumulation Test (CVAT) requires that a certain margin be maintained between the death benefitand the accumulation value for all years. Without this prescribed margin, the contract would no longer qualify as a lifeinsurance contract for federal income tax purposes. To comply with the requirements of IRC Section 7702, the CVATversion uses the Death Benefit Factors calculated as prescribed in the IRC Section 7702 to maintain the required marginbetween the accumulation value and the death benefit. Therefore, as needed, the death benefit is increased, causing thedeath benefit to go into “corridor” to maintain the policy’s qualification as life insurance. When a policy is in corridor, itmay result in a larger amount at risk and larger monthly deductions, which leads to lower cash value accumulation.Policy Form #’s: <strong>IUL</strong>04 & <strong>IUL</strong>05, Base Insured Rider: BIR07, Additional Insured Rider: AIR13, Children’s Benefit Rider:CR01 0305, Disability Waiver of Monthly Deductions Rider: WMD01 0305, Disability Waiver of Premium Rider: WPR020305, Accidental Death Benefit Rider: ADR01 0305, Guaranteed Insurability Benefit Rider: GIR02 1006, Terminal IllnessAccelerated Death Benefit Rider: TI01 0305.Not available in New York.Index Universal Life Insurance offered by:Transamerica Life Insurance CompanyHome Office Address:4333 Edgewood Rd.
