Fixed Dollar Payments. Fixed Dollar payments are determined as follows. We start with the amount to be applied to Fixed Dollar payments, expressed in thousands of dollars. This amount is then multiplied by the amount of the periodic payment per $1,000 of value. This payment is obtained from the Settlement Option Table for the option that is elected. Fixed Dollar payments will remain level for the duration of the payment period. The Variable Dollar base payment is determined as follows. We start with the amount to be applied to Variable Dollar payments, expressed in thousands of dollars. This amount is then multiplied by the amount of the periodic payment per $1,000 of value. This payment is obtained from the Settlement Option Table for the option that is elected. The number of Benefit Units in each Sub-Account held for such Variable Dollar payments is determined as follows. We divide the dollar amount of the Variable Dollar base payment from each Sub-Account by the Benefit Unit Value for that Sub-Account as of the Commencement Date. The number of Benefit Units in each Sub-Account will change if the payee makes transfers among Sub-Accounts. The Benefit Units in each Sub-Account will change proportionally to a change in the base payment due to any change in the payment interval or as specified by the settlement option. Otherwise, the number of Benefit Units remains fixed during the payment period. The actual amount of each Variable Dollar payment will reflect the investment performance of the Sub-Account(s) selected. It may vary from payment to payment. The total amount of each Variable Dollar payment will be equal to the sum of the payments from each Sub-Account. We will deduct a pro-rata portion of the Contract Maintenance Fee from this total. The payment from each Sub-Account is found by multiplying the number of Benefit Units held in that Sub-Account for such Variable Dollar payments by the Benefit Unit Value for that Sub-Account. We do this as of the end of the fifth Valuation Period before the date that the payment is due. The Benefit Unit Value for each Sub-Account is originally established in the same manner as Accumulation Unit Values. For any date after that, the value of a Benefit Unit for a Sub-Account is determined by multiplying the Benefit Unit Value as of the end of the preceding Valuation Period by the Net Investment Factor. This factor is determined as set forth in the Accumulation Unit Value provision of this Contract. The product is then multiplied by the assumed daily investment factor for the number of days in the Valuation Period. The factor is based on the assumed net investment rate for the Settlement Option Table that is used to fix the base payment. This factor shall be not greater than [0.99997236], which is the factor based on a net investment rate of [one] percent ([1]%) per year, compounded annually, as reflected in the guaranteed Settlement Option Tables.
