Market Value Adjustment Formula
A Market Value Adjustment will be applied when a surrender occurs prior to the end of a Guarantee Period. The Market Value Adjustment is the difference between the Account Value and the Market Adjusted Value.
Market Adjusted Value = [ (Maturity Value) x [ 1/(1 + ic)] t/365
ic = the current Guaranteed Interest Rate (straight-line interpolation between whole years) that We are then crediting for a Guarantee Period of t days on this class of certificate(s).
t = the number of days remaining in the Guarantee Period adjusting for leap years.]
If the application of the Market Value Adjustment Formula results in an upward adjustment in the amount payable on any full or partial surrender, such upward adjustment will be limited to the lesser of the amount of the upward adjustment or the amount of any Surrender Charge associated with the amount being surrendered.
If the application of the Market Value Adjustment Formula results in an upward adjustment in the amount applied to purchase annuity payments on the Annuity Commencement Date, such upward adjustment will be limited to the lesser of the upward adjustment or the amount of any Surrender Charge assessed on the Annuity Commencement Date.
CERTIFICATE SPECIFICATIONS
Surrender Charge

CREDITING OF INTERST AND GUARANTEE PERIODS

The Account Value will earn interest at the subsequent Guaranteed Interest Rate during the subsequent Guarantee Period. There is no minimum Guaranteed Interest Rate for renewals.. However, this rate will be at least equal to the initial Guarantee Interest Rate being credited to purchase payments for new certificates at the time the subsequent Guaranteed Interest Rate is determined.
