Hartford Life Insurance Company (the "COMPANY"), for value received,
hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., or its registered assigns, the Principal
Amount specified above plus the Supplemental Payment, if any, specified below on
the Stated Maturity Date specified above and, if so specified above, to pay
interest thereon from the Issuance Date specified above or from the most recent
Interest Payment Date specified above to which interest has been paid or duly
provided for at the rate per annum as specified above, until the principal
hereof is paid or made available for payment. Unless otherwise set forth above
under "Specified Currency," payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest
hereon will be made in the lawful currency of the United States of America
("U.S. DOLLARS" or "UNITED STATES DOLLARS"). The "PRINCIPAL AMOUNT" of this Note
at any time means (1) if this Note is a Discount Note (as hereinafter defined),
the Amortized Face Amount (as hereinafter defined) at such time (as defined in
Section 3(c) on the reverse hereof) and (2) in all other cases, the Principal
Amount hereof. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have their
meanings set forth in the Indenture, dated as of September 8, 2006, (the
"INDENTURE"), between The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A. (successor to
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.), as the indenture trustee (the "INDENTURE TRUSTEE"),
and the Company, as amended or supplemented from time to time, or on the face
hereof.
This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the
Company (herein called the "Notes"), issued and to be issued in one or more
series under the Indenture and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a
statement of the respective rights, limitation of rights, duties and immunities
thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes and of the
terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered.
This Note will mature on the Stated Maturity Date, unless its principal (or any
installment of its principal) becomes due and payable prior to the Stated
Maturity Date, whether, as applicable, by the declaration of acceleration of
maturity, notice of redemption by the Company or otherwise; provided, that if
the Stated Maturity Date is not a Business Day, then the Maturity Date will be
the next succeeding Business Day following such Stated Maturity Date and any
payment of interest due on the Stated Maturity Date will be made on the Maturity
Date as adjusted, with the same force and effect as if made on the Stated
Maturity Date, but no additional interest shall accrue or be payable as a result
of the delayed payment; provided, further, that if due to a Market Disruption
Event or otherwise, the final Index Valuation Date is postponed so that it falls
less than three Business Days prior to or following the Stated Maturity Date,
the Maturity Date will be the third Business Day following the final Index
Valuation Date. (Any date on which this Note becomes due and payable, whether
prior or subsequent to the Stated Maturity Date is referred to as the "MATURITY
DATE").
If the Stated Maturity Date is postponed due to postponement of the Index
Valuation Date as described above, the Company shall give written notice of such
postponement and, once it has been determined, of the date to which the Maturity
Date has been rescheduled to the Indenture Trustee and the Paying Agent at their
New York offices, on which notices the Indenture Trustee and the Paying Agent
may conclusively rely. These notices shall be given no later than (i) with
respect to notice of the postponement of the Stated Maturity Date, the Business
Day immediately following the scheduled Index Valuation Date; and (ii) with
respect to notice of the date to which the Maturity Date has been rescheduled,
the Business Day immediately following the actual Index Valuation Date for
determining the Ending Index Level.

Interest Payment Date; provided that, notwithstanding any provision of the
Indenture to the contrary, interest payable on any Maturity Date shall be
payable to the Person to whom principal shall be payable; and provided, further,
that unless otherwise specified above, in the case of a Note initially issued
between a Regular Record Date and the Interest Payment Date relating to such
Regular Record Date, interest for the period beginning on the Issuance Date and

succeeding Regular Record Date.

[REVERSE OF NOTE]
Section 1. GENERAL. This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of
Notes of the Company. The Notes of this series are issued pursuant to the

(i) This Note will bear interest at the rate per annum
specified on the face hereof. Interest on this Note will be computed on
the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
(ii) Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the

2-1 Issuance Date: March 6, 2007
(b) SUPPLEMENTAL PAYMENTS. If this Note is specified on the face
hereof as a "Note Linked to Securities of One or More Issuers, One or More
Currencies, One or More Commodities, Indices, or any other Instrument(s) or
Measure(s) or Baskets of any of the Foregoing" and as having "Supplemental
Payment(s)," a Supplemental Payment shall be payable on the Stated Maturity Date
or a later Maturity Date and shall be determined by the Calculation Agent by
reference to the relevant index or indicies, as specified on the face hereof
(the "Relevant Index"), and payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest,
if any, on this Note shall be made as set forth below.
(i) DETERMINATION OF THE SUPPLEMENTAL PAYMENT: On the
Index Valuation Date or Dates set forth on the face hereof, the
Calculation Agent will determine the closing level of the Relevant
Index (each a "Periodic Valuation Level"). If there is a single Index
Valuation Date, the Periodic Valuation Level as of that date will be
the Ending Index Level. If there is more than one Index Valuation Date,
the Calculation Agent will determine the closing level of the Relevant
Index for each such day and the arithmetic average of the sum of the
Periodic Valuation Levels, divided by the number of Index Valuation
Dates. This average will be the "Ending Index Level". The "closing
level" of the Relevant Index on any Trading Day means the level of the
Relevant Index at the regular official weekday close of the principal
trading session(s) of the relevant exchange(s) or market(s) (the
"Relevant Exchanges") for the stocks or other securities or instruments
included in the Relevant Index or any Successor Index (as defined
below). (As used herein, a "Trading Day" is a day on which trading is
generally conducted on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), the
American Stock Exchange LLC (the "AMEX"), the NASDAQ Stock Market
and/or any relevant exchange or market for the Successor Index, all as
determined by the Calculation Agent.) Prior to the Stated Maturity
Date, the Calculation Agent will determine the Index Return using the
following formula:
(ENDING INDEX LEVEL - INITIAL INDEX LEVEL)
------------------------------------------
Initial Index Level
If the Index Return multiplied by the Participation Rate is less than
or equal to the Off-Set Amount, if any, specified on the face of this
Note, then the Supplemental Payment will equal $0.00 (or the Minimum
Return, if any, specified on the face of this Note). If the Index
Return multiplied by the Participation Rate is greater than the Off-Set
Amount specified on the face of this Note, then the Supplemental
Payment for each $1,000 principal amount of this Note will equal the
lesser of the Maximum Return, if any, specified on the face of this
Note or the amount computed as follows:
($1,000 x Index Return x Participation Rate) -- Off-Set Amount
All calculations with respect to the Initial Index Level, the
Ending Index Level, the Index Return or any closing level will be
rounded to the nearest one hundred-thousandth, with five one-millionths
rounded upward (E.G., .876545 would be rounded to .87655); all dollar
amounts related to determination of the Supplemental Payment, if any,
per $1,000 principal amount of this Note will be rounded to the nearest
ten-thousandth, with five one hundred-thousandths rounded upward (E.G.,
.76545 would be rounded up to .7655); and all dollar amounts paid on
the aggregate principal amount of this Note will be rounded to the
nearest cent, with one-half cent rounded upward.
2-2 Issuance Date: March 6, 2007
The Company shall provide, or shall cause the Calculation
Agent to provide, written notice to the Indenture Trustee and the
Paying Agent at their New York offices, on which notice the Indenture
Trustee and the Paying Agent may conclusively rely, of the amount of
cash to be delivered with respect to each $1,000 principal amount of
this Note, on or prior to 10:30 a.m. on the Business Day preceding the
Maturity Date.
(ii) OTHER PROVISIONS PERTAINING TO SUPPLEMENTAL PAYMENTS:
The following additional terms apply with respect to the Supplemental
Payment:
(A) RELEVANT INDEX. The entity that sponsors any Relevant
Index (the "Sponsor") is solely responsible for the
computation of that Relevant Index.
If more than one Relevant Index is specified on the face
hereof, The determinations specified above will be made using
the proportions listed next to the name of each Relevant Index
and by applying the procedures specified in the Supplemental
Payment Schedule, attached hereto.
(B) MARKET DISRUPTION. Each of the following is a "Market
Disruption Event" if the Calculation Agent determines that the
actual event materially affects the Relevant Index:
o the suspension, absence or material limitation of the
trading of stocks or other securities or instruments then
constituting 20% or more of the stocks or other securities
or instruments which then comprise the Index (or any
Successor Index) on the Relevant Exchange(s) for such
securities for more than two hours of trading during, or
during the one-half hour period preceding the close of,
the principal trading session on such Relevant Exchange;
or
o a breakdown or failure in the price and trade reporting
systems of any Relevant Exchange as a result of which the
reported trading prices for stocks or other securities or
instruments then constituting 20% or more of the stocks
which then comprise the Relevant Index (or any Successor
Index) during the one hour preceding the close of the
principal trading session on such Relevant Exchange(s) are
materially inaccurate; or
o the suspension, absence, limitation, cancellation or
repudiation of trading for more than two hours of trading
during, or during the one-half hour period preceding the
close of trading on the Relevant Exchange in 20% or more
of any options contracts relating to stocks or other
securities which then comprise 20% or more of the value of
the Relevant Index; or
o the suspension, absence or material limitation of the
trading on the primary securities exchange, as determined
by the Calculation Agent, for trading in options
contracts, futures or exchange traded funds related to the
Relevant Index or any Successor Index for more than two
hours of trading during, or during the one-half hour
period preceding the close of, the principal trading
session on such exchange; or
2-3 Issuance Date: March 6, 2007
o a decision to permanently discontinue trading in the
relevant futures or options contracts;
in each case as determined by the Calculation Agent in its
sole discretion; and
o the Calculation Agent's determination, in its sole
discretion, that the event(s) described above materially
interfered with the Company's ability or the ability of
any of the Company's affiliates to adjust or unwind all or
a material portion of any hedge with respect to this Note.
For the purpose of this definition of Market Disruption Event,
unless otherwise specified on the face hereof:
o a limitation on the number of hours or days of trading
will not constitute a Market o Disruption Event, if it
results from an announced change in the regular business
hours of the Relevant Exchange or market;
o limitations pursuant to the rules of any relevant exchange
similar to NYSE Rule 80A (or any applicable rule or
regulation enacted or promulgated by any other
self-regulatory organization or any government agency of
scope similar to NYSE Rule 80A as determined by the
Calculation Agent, in its sole discretion) on trading
during significant market fluctuations will constitute a
suspension, absence or material limitation of trading;
o a suspension of trading in futures or options contracts on
the Relevant Index by the primary securities market
trading in such contracts by reason of
o a price change exceeding limits set by such exchange
or market,
o an imbalance of orders relating to such contracts, or
o a disparity in bid and ask quotes relating to such
contracts
will, in each such case, constitute a suspension, absence
or material limitation of trading in futures or options
contracts related to the Relevant Index; and
o a "suspension of trading" on any Relevant Exchange or on
the primary market on which futures o or options contracts
related to the Relevant Index are traded will not include
any time when such market is itself closed for trading
under ordinary circumstances.
If an Index Valuation Date (i) is not a Trading Day or (ii) if
there is a Market Disruption Event on such day, the applicable
Index Valuation Date will be postponed to, in the case of
clause (i), the immediately succeeding Trading Day and, in the
case of clause (ii) the next succeeding Trading Day, during
which no Market Disruption Event shall have occurred or is
continuing; PROVIDED that the Index Closing Level will not be
determined on a date later than the tenth scheduled Trading
Day after the final Index Valuation Date, and if such day is
not
2-4 Issuance Date: March 6, 2007
a Trading Day, or if there is a Market Disruption Event on
such date, the Calculation Agent will determine the Index
Closing Level on such date in accordance with the formula for
and method of calculating the Index Closing Level last in
effect prior to commencement of the Market Disruption Event
(or prior to the non-Trading Day), using the closing price
(or, if trading in the relevant securities has been materially
suspended or materially limited, the Calculation Agent's good
faith estimate of the closing price that would have prevailed
but for such suspension or limitation or non-trading day) on
such tenth scheduled Trading Day of each security most
recently constituting the Relevant Index.
(C) DISCONTINUANCE OF THE RELEVANT INDEX. If
publication of the Relevant Index is discontinued or otherwise
unavailable and the Sponsor (or another entity) publishes a
successor or substitute index that the Calculation Agent, in
its sole discretion, determines is comparable to the
discontinued Relevant Index (the new index being referred to
as a "Successor Index"), then the relevant closing levels will
be determined by reference to the Successor Index at the close
of trading on the Relevant Exchange(s) for the Successor Index
on each relevant Index Valuation Date.
If the Calculation Agent selects a Successor Index, the
Calculation Agent will cause written notice to be promptly
furnished to the Company, the Indenture Trustee and the Holder
of this Note of the change to the Successor Index.
If publication of the Relevant Index is discontinued prior to,
and such discontinuation is continuing on an Index Valuation
Date and the Calculation Agent determines that no Successor
Index is available, then the Calculation Agent will notify the
Company and the Indenture Trustee and will calculate the
appropriate closing levels. These calculations by the
Calculation Agent will be in accordance with the formula for
and method of calculating the Relevant Index last in effect
prior to its discontinuance using the closing price (or, if
trading in the relevant securities has been materially
suspended or materially limited, its good faith estimate of
the closing price that would have prevailed but for such
suspension or limitation) at the close of the principal
trading session on such date of each security most recently
composing the Relevant Index or Successor Index, as
applicable. If a Successor Index is selected or the
Calculation Agent calculates a level as a substitute for the
Relevant Index, that Successor Index or level will be
substituted for the Relevant Index for all purposes.
(D) ALTERATION OF METHOD OF CALCULATION OF
INDEX. If at any time the method of calculating the Relevant
Index or a Successor Index, or the level thereof, is changed
in a material respect in the Calculation Agent's discretion,
or if the Relevant Index or a Successor Index is in any other
way modified so that the Relevant Index or such Successor
Index does not, in the reasonable opinion of the Calculation
Agent, fairly represent the level of the Relevant Index or
such Successor Index had such changes or modifications not
been made, then the Calculation Agent will, at the close of
business in New York City on each date on which the Index
Closing Level is to be determined, make such calculations and
2-5 Issuance Date: March 6, 2007
adjustments as, in the good faith judgment of the Calculation
Agent, may be necessary in order to arrive at a level of a
stock index comparable to the Relevant Index or such Successor
Index, as the case may be, as if such changes or modifications
had not been made, and the Calculation Agent will calculate
the Index Closing Level with reference to the Relevant Index
or such Successor Index, as adjusted.
(iii) ALTERNATE SUPPLEMENTAL PAYMENT CALCULATION IN CASE OF
AN EVENT OF DEFAULT. In case an Event of Default with respect to this
Note shall have occurred and be continuing, the amount declared due and
payable for each $1,000 principal amount of this Note upon any
acceleration of this Note shall be determined by the Calculation Agent
and shall be an amount in cash equal to $1,000 plus the Supplemental
Payment, calculated as if the date of acceleration were the final Index
Valuation Date, plus, if applicable, any accrued and unpaid interest on
this Note to the date the principal hereof is paid or made available
for payment. If more than one Index Valuation Date is specified on the
face of this Note, then for each Index Valuation Date scheduled to
occur after the date of acceleration, the Trading Days immediately
preceding the date of acceleration (in such number equal to the number
of Index Valuation Dates in excess of one) shall be the corresponding
Index Valuation Dates, unless otherwise specified in the applicable
pricing supplement. If the maturity of this Note is accelerated because
of an Event of Default as described above, the Company shall provide,
or shall cause the Calculation Agent to provide, written notice to the
Indenture Trustee at its New York office, on which notice the Indenture
Trustee may conclusively rely, and to the Holder of the cash amount due
with respect to each $1,000 principal amount of this Note as promptly
as possible and in no event later than two Business Days after the date
of acceleration.
(iv) CALCULATION AGENT. All determinations made by the
Calculation Agent hereunder shall be made at the sole discretion of the
Calculation Agent and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be
conclusive for all purposes and binding on the Holder of this Note, the
Indenture Trustee and the Company. The Company may appoint a different
Calculation Agent from time to time without notice to or consent of the
Holder of this Note.
(c) DISCOUNT NOTES. If this Note is specified on the face hereof
as a "Discount Note":
(i) PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST. This Note will bear interest
in the same manner as set forth in Section 3(a) above, and payments of
principal and interest shall be made as set forth on the face hereof.
Discount Notes may not bear any interest currently or may bear interest
at a rate that is below market rates at the time of issuance. The
difference between the Issue Price of a Discount Note and par is
referred to as the "DISCOUNT".
(ii) REDEMPTION; REPAYMENT; ACCELERATION. In the event a
Discount Note is redeemed, repaid or accelerated, the amount payable to
the Holder of such Discount Note will be equal to the sum of: (A) the
Issue Price (increased by any accruals of Discount) and, in the event
of any redemption of such Discount Note, if applicable, multiplied by
the Initial Redemption Percentage (as adjusted by the Annual Redemption
Percentage Reduction, if applicable); and (B) any unpaid interest
accrued on such Discount Note to the Maturity Date ("AMORTIZED FACE
AMOUNT"). Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, for purposes
of determining the amount of Discount that has accrued as of any
2-6 Issuance Date: March 6, 2007
date on which a redemption, repayment or acceleration of maturity
occurs for a Discount Note, a Discount will be accrued using a constant
yield method. The constant yield will be calculated using a 30-day
month, 360-day year convention, a compounding period that, except for
the Initial Period (as defined below), corresponds to the shortest
period between Interest Payment Dates for the applicable Discount Note
(with ratable accruals within a compounding period), a coupon rate
equal to the initial coupon rate applicable to the applicable Discount
Note and an assumption that the maturity of such Discount Note will not
be accelerated. If the period from the date of issue to the first
Interest Payment Date for a Discount Note (the "INITIAL PERIOD") is
shorter than the compounding period for such Discount Note, a
proportionate amount of the yield for an entire compounding period will
be accrued. If the Initial Period is longer than the compounding
period, then the period will be divided into a regular compounding
period and a short period with the short period being treated as
provided above.
Section 4. REDEMPTION. Unless otherwise so indicated on the face hereof
and in a Redemption Schedule attached hereto, this Note may not be redeemed
prior to the Stated Maturity Date, except as set forth in the Indenture.
Section 5. SINKING FUNDS AND AMORTIZING NOTES. Unless specified on the
face hereof, this Note will not be subject to, or entitled to the benefit of,
any sinking fund. If this Note is specified on the face hereof as an "Amortizing
Note", this Note will bear interest in the same manner as set forth in Section
3(a) above, and payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest will be
made as set forth on the face hereof and/or in accordance with Schedule I
attached hereto. The Company will make payments combining principal, premium (if
any) and interest, if applicable, on the dates and in the amounts set forth in
the table appearing in Schedule I attached to this Note or in accordance with
the formula specified on the face hereof. Payments made hereon will be applied
first to interest due and payable hereon and then to the reduction of the unpaid
principal amount hereof.
Section 6. MODIFICATIONS AND WAIVERS. The Indenture contains provisions
permitting the Company and the Indenture Trustee (1) at any time and from time
to time without notice to, or the consent of, the Holders of any Notes issued
under the Indenture to enter into one or more supplemental indentures for
certain enumerated purposes and (2) with the consent of the Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes affected
thereby, to enter into one or more supplemental indentures for the purpose of
adding any provisions to, or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the
provisions of, the Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of Holders
of Notes under the Indenture; provided, that, with respect to certain enumerated
provisions, no such supplemental indenture shall be entered into without the
consent of the Holder of each Note affected thereby. Any such consent or waiver
by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and
upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the
registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether
or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note or such other
Notes.
Section 7. OBLIGATIONS UNCONDITIONAL. No reference herein to the
Indenture and no provisions of this Note or of the Indenture shall impair the
right of each Holder of any Note, which is absolute and unconditional, to
receive payment of the principal of, and any interest on, and premium, if any,
on, such Note on the respective Stated Maturity Date or redemption date
2-7 Issuance Date: March 6, 2007
thereof and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such
rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.
Section 8. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. If an Event of Default with respect to

SUPPLEMENTAL PAYMENT SCHEDULE
1. Pursuant to Section 3(b)(ii)(A) of this Note, the procedures described
in Section 3(b)(i) of this Note for determining the Supplemental Payment are
hereby replaced in its entirety as follows:
DETERMINATION OF THE SUPPLEMENTAL PAYMENT: For each of the Dow Index and the
EAFE Index, the Calculation Agent shall separately determine the Index Return
pursuant to this Section. On each Index Valuation Date, the Calculation Agent
will determine the closing level of the Relevant Index for such day, which will
be the "Ending Index Level" and will then determine the Index Return for the
Relevant Index for such Index Valuation Date using the following formula:
(ENDING INDEX LEVEL - INITIAL INDEX LEVEL)
------------------------------------------
Initial Index Level
and will then determine for such Index Valuation Date the Basket Return for such
date using the following formula:
Basket Return = (0.80 x Dow Index Return) + (0.20 x EAFE Index Return)
On the final Index Valuation Date, the Calculation Agent will determine the
Final Basket Return by averaging each of the Basket Returns determined on each
Index Valuation Date.
If the Final Basket Return multiplied by $1,000 multiplied by the Participation
Rate is less than or equal to the Minimum Supplemental Payment ($200) specified
on the face of this Note, then the Supplemental Payment for each $1,000
principal amount of this Note will equal the Minimum Supplemental Payment. If
the Final Basket Return multiplied by $1,000 multiplied by the Participation
Rate (the "Basket-linked Supplemental Payment") is greater than the Minimum
Supplemental Payment specified on the face of this Note, then the Supplemental
Payment for each $1,000 principal amount of this Note will equal the
Basket-linked Supplemental Payment.
The "closing level" of the Relevant Index on any Trading Day means the
level of the Relevant Index at the regular official weekday close of the
principal trading session(s) of the relevant exchange(s) or market(s) (the
"Relevant Exchanges") for the stocks or other securities or instruments included
in the Relevant Index or any Successor Index (as defined below). (As used
herein, a "Trading Day" is a day, as determined by the Calculation Agent, on
which trading is generally conducted (i) with respect to the Dow Index, on the
New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), the American Stock Exchange LLC (the "AMEX"),
the NASDAQ Stock Market and/or any relevant exchange or market for the Successor
Index, and (ii) with respect to the EAFE Index, the relevant exchanges for
securities underlying the EAFE Index that constitute 20% or more of the value of
the EAFE Index and the exchanges on which futures or options contracts related
to the EAFE Index are traded.)
All calculations with respect to the Initial Index Level, the Ending
Index Level, the Index Return, the Basket Return, the Final Basket Return or any
closing level will be rounded to the nearest one hundred-thousandth, with five
one-millionths rounded upward (E.G., .876545 would be rounded to .87655); all
dollar amounts related to determination of the Supplemental Payment, if any, per
$1,000 principal amount of this Note will be rounded to the nearest
ten-thousandth, with five one hundred-thousandths rounded upward (E.G., .76545
would be rounded up to .7655);
2-10 Issuance Date: March 6, 2007
and all dollar amounts paid on the aggregate principal amount of this Note will
be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent rounded upward.
The Company shall provide, or shall cause the Calculation Agent to
provide, written notice to the Indenture Trustee and the Paying Agent at their
New York offices, on which notice the Indenture Trustee and the Paying Agent may
conclusively rely, of the amount of cash to be delivered with respect to each
$1,000 principal amount of this Note, on or prior to 10:30 a.m. on the Business
Day preceding the Maturity Date.
2. The below language is added to Section 3(b)(ii)(D):
If the method of calculating the Relevant Index or a Successor Index is
modified so that the level of the Relevant Index or such Successor
Index is a fraction of what it would have been if there had been no
such modification (E.G., due to a split in the Index), then the
Calculation Agent will adjust its calculation of the Relevant Index or
such Successor Index in order to arrive at a level of the Index or such
Successor Index as if there had been no such modification (E.G., as if
such split had not occurred).
3. In determining when a "Market Disruption Event" affects the calculation
of the Supplemental Payment:
(i) The Calculation Agent shall determine whether a
Market Disruption Event has occurred separately with respect to the Dow
Index and the EAFE Index, applying any percentage limitation with
respect to a security included in such Relevant Index separately with
respect to each such Relevant Index.
(ii) In determining whether there has been a suspension in
trading of in futures, options contracts or exchange traded funds
related to a Relevant Index, the Calculation Agent shall treat as a
Relevant Index any sub-index used as a component index of the EAFE
Index (such sub-indexes being commonly referred to as "component
country indexes or component region indexes or component securities").
(iii) For the purpose of determining whether trading in a
security included in a Relevant Index is materially suspended or
materially limited at that time, then the relevant percentage
contribution of that security to the level of the disrupted index shall
be based on a comparison of: the portion of the level of the disrupted
index, component country index or component region index, as the case
may be, attributable to that security relative to the overall level of
the disrupted index, component country index or component region index,
as the case may be, in each case immediately before that suspension or
limitation.
