336R4.

(2) in any other case, using the table of mortality known as the Annuity 2000 Basic Table as published in the Transactions of Society of Actuaries, 1995–96 Reports, and
ii. in any other case, to be computed in accordance with subparagraph i with the necessary modifications;
(b) the age of the individual on a particular date as of which a computation is being made isi. if the life insured was determined by the insurer that issued the contract to be a substandard life at the time the contract was issued and the table of mortality referred to in subparagraph 2 of subparagraph i of paragraph a applies to determine the total of the payments expected to be made under the contract, the age that is equal to the total of the age used for the purpose of determining the annuity rate under the policy at the date of issue of the contract and the number determined by subtracting the calendar year in which the contract was issued from the calendar year in which the particular date occurs, and
ii. in any other case, determined by subtracting the calendar year of the individual’s birth from the calendar year in which the particular date occurs; and
(c) if, in the event of the death of the individual before the annual payments total a stated amount, the contract provides that the unpaid balance of the stated amount is to be paid in a lump sum or instalments, then for the purpose of determining the expected term of the contract, the contract is deemed to provide for the continuance of the payments under the contract for a minimum term certain equal to the nearest whole number of years required to complete the payment of the stated amount.
