Investment Return
If at any measurement date the close of business levels of the Indices are at or above 100% of their Opening Levels the plan will mature and pay 10.5% (not compounded) for each year the Plan has been in force.
If the level of either Index is below its Opening Level on any measurement date, the plan will continue for another year.
if the plan runs for its full 5 year term, the investment return will be 100% as long as neither Index has fallen below 50% of its Opening Level during the investment term. If one, or both levels are lower there will be no investment return payable.
