Index Credits
Index Credits are calculated separately for each Segment on the Segment Maturity Date.  An Index Credit is not calculated or credited to a Segment before the Segment Maturity Date.  The payment of a full surrender prior to the Segment Maturity Date will result in the Guaranteed Minimum Annual Interest Rate Credited to a Maturing Segment being applied on a prorated basis.  The Index Credit on the Segment Maturity Date is equal to (a x b) where:
a.
is the Index Growth Rate; and
b.
is the Average Monthly Segment Balance.
[ The resulting Index Credit will then be multiplied by any applicable Index Credit Enhancement Factor in effect on the Segment Date. ]
Index Growth Rate
We will determine the Index Growth Rate used in determining the Index Credit subject to any guaranteed factors for the Indexed Account Option as shown above.  The Index Growth Rate is equal to {(a/b) – 1} x c; not to exceed d, and no less than e, where:
a. is the Closing Value of the Index as of the Segment Maturity Date;
b. is the Closing Value of the Index as of the Segment Date;
c. is the Index Participation Rate;
d. is the Index Growth Cap in effect on the Segment Date; and
e. is the Guaranteed Minimum Annual Interest Rate Credited to a Maturing Segment.
Index Participation Rate
A factor used in calculating the Index Growth Rate and the Index Credit applicable to a Segment.  The Guaranteed Index Participation Rate is shown above.
Index Growth Cap
A factor used in calculating the Index Growth Rate and the Index Credit applicable to a Segment. We will declare the Index Growth Cap applicable to a Segment on the Segment Date.  We guarantee that the Index Growth Cap will never be less than the Guaranteed Minimum Index Growth Cap shown above.  A higher Index Growth Cap may be applied.

Subject to the guaranteed maximums and guaranteed minimums shown in this Indexed Account Option’s Policy Specifications, we may change (also known as redetermine) the Indexed Account NGEs that apply to this Indexed Account Option. We will not make any changes to these Indexed Account NGEs in order to distribute past gains or recoup past losses.

Any change will apply consistently to all policies of the same Redetermination Class.
If we make a change to the [Index Credit Enhancement Factor,] [Indexed Account Value Enhancement Rate, or] Index Growth Cap, we will use Redetermination Classes to make those changes.  Such changes can be made in consideration of one or more items which may include, but are not limited to: mortality, interest rates, investment earnings, general market conditions, persistency, expenses (including reinsurance costs and taxes), policy funding, net amount at risk, loan utilization, capital requirements, and reserve requirements.

 [ Indexed Account Value Enhancement
Beginning in the Policy Year shown above, we will credit an Indexed Account Value Enhancement by applying an Indexed Account Value Enhancement Rate, of no less than the Guaranteed Minimum Indexed Account Value Enhancement Rate shown above, to the value of each Segment on the Segment Maturity Date. A higher Indexed Account Value Enhancement Rate may be applied. The Indexed Account Value Enhancement applied will equal (a x b) where:
a.
is the annual Indexed Account Value Enhancement Rate in effect on the Segment Date; and
b.
is the Average Monthly Segment Balance before any Index Credits are applied. ]
Asset Charge
On the Segment Date, an Asset Charge will be deducted from the value transferred to this Indexed Account Option.  The Asset Charge is calculated by multiplying the value transferred to this Indexed Account Option by a percentage, not to exceed the Guaranteed Maximum Asset Charge shown above.
Index Credits
Index Credits are calculated separately for each Segment on the Segment Maturity Date.  An Index Credit is not calculated or credited to a Segment before the Segment Maturity Date.  The Index Credit on the Segment Maturity Date is equal to (a x b) where:
a.
is the Index Growth Rate;
b.
is the Average Monthly Segment Balance.
[ The resulting Index Credit will then be multiplied by any applicable Index Credit Enhancement Factor in effect on the Segment Date. ]
