The annual anniversary of this date is the Index Anniversary Date and will not change for the life of your Contract. You may only allocate to an Index Strategy on an Index Anniversary Date.”

Third Paragraph:

An Interim Value adjustment will apply upon any withdrawal, death benefit payment, transfer, Annuitization or surrender that occurs during an Index Strategy Term other than on the Index Strategy Start Date or Index Strategy End Date. An Interim Value adjustment may be positive, negative or equal to zero. A negative Interim Value adjustment will result in loss.
