Interest Rates
6% Account Value Escalator (also known as Interest Bonus) on all first year premium, paid at 1% per year for 6 years.

Minimum guaranteed interest rate varies between 1.5% and 3% depending upon the state on 87.5%compounded annually.

The fixed rate option establishes a fixed rate guaranteed for one year, but never less than 1.50% annually.  A new fixed rate, subject to the minimum guaranteed is declared each year.

An Account Value Escalator of 6% is credited to the total premium paid in the first year.  Premium payments made in subsequent years will not receive an Account Value Escalator.  The 6% Account Value Escalator is credited to the account value at a rate of 1% per year over 6 years for a total of 6% of the first year premium.  The additional interest does not increase the Minimum Guaranteed Surrender Value. Withdrawals or partial surrenders in excess of the free surrender amount will cause a portion of the future, not yet credited additional interest to be forfeited.

The Minimum Guaranteed Surrender Value ("MGSV") is the sum of 87.5% of any premiums paid, compounded at 1% to 3% annually, depending upon state approval, and is adjusted for any withdrawals or account value reallocations.
