Index Segment Interest Credit. The following formula is used to calculate any Index Segment Interest Credit on Segments in the Barclays Global MA Classic Indexed Account. We review our Participation Rate periodically and, at that time, we may decide to change that rate on a basis that does not discriminate unfairly within any class of the Lives Insured, subject to the Minimum Participation Rate stated above.

The Index Segment Interest Credit on the Segment Maturity Date is equal to the Adjusted Segment Crediting Balance on the Segment Maturity Date, multiplied by the Segment Growth Rate. The Segment Growth Rate is the greater of (a) and (b) where:

 

  (a)

is the Index Change times the Participation Rate; and

 

  (b)

is the Segment Floor Rate

We may add additional Indexed Accounts from time to time and we will give you notice when we do so. We reserve the right to cease offering one or more new Segments of the Indexed Accounts at any time and ceasing offering any Index Account once there are no outstanding Segments for that Index Account. We also reserve the right for any Indexed Account to substitute an Index with another Index in connection with new Segments. In addition, before the end of a Segment Term, we may take any of these actions because the Index is no longer available, the value of the Index is not available, or the investments needed to meet its obligation to credit interest based on the Segment Growth Rate are no longer available or are only available at a noneconomic cost. If we substitute an Index for another Index, the Indexed Account will continue to offer the guaranteed indexed account parameters shown in Section 1. Any open Segments in an Indexed Account will remain until they mature after which the Segment Proceeds will automatically be transferred to the Guaranteed Interest Account (or Fixed Account if variable life), unless you request in writing that the Segment Proceeds be transferred to an available Indexed Account. If we cease offering an Index Account during a Segment Term, that date will be deemed to be the end of the Segment Term and the Segment Proceeds will automatically be transferred to the Guaranteed Interest Account (or Fixed Account if variable life). In the event that we decide to substitute an Index or we cease to offer an Indexed Account, we will notify you and any assignee of record in advance of the change at your last known addresses.
