A. "Assumed investment rate" means the rate of investment return which would be required to be credited to a variable life insurance policy, after deduction of charges for taxes, investment expenses and mortality and all other charges and expenses to maintain the variable death benefit equal at all times to the amount of death benefit other than incidental insurance benefits, which would be payable under the plan of insurance if the death benefit did not vary according to the investment experience of the separate account. For the purposes of this calculation, the deductions for expense charges shall be at the maximum rate permitted in the policy.

E. "Incidental insurance benefit" means all insurance benefits in a variable life insurance policy, other than the variable death benefit and the minimum death benefit, including but not limited to accidental death and dismemberment benefits, disability income benefits, guaranteed insurability options, family income, or term riders.
F. "Minimum death benefit" means the amount of the guaranteed death benefit, other than incidental insurance benefits, payable under a variable life insurance policy regardless of the investment performance of the separate account.
G. "Net investment return" means the rate of investment return in a separate account to be applied to the benefit base.
H. "Person" means an individual, corporation, partnership, association, trust, or fund.
I. "Policy processing day" means the day on which charges authorized in the policy are deducted from the policy's cash value.

L. "Variable death benefit" means the amount of death benefit, other than incidental insurance benefits, payable under a variable life insurance policy dependent on the investment performance of the separate account, which the insurer would have to pay in the absence of any minimum death benefit.
M. "Variable life insurance policy" means any individual policy which provides for life insurance the amount or duration of which varies according to the investment experience of any separate account or accounts established and maintained by the insurer as to such policy, pursuant to § 10-7-402, C.R.S., or pursuant to the corresponding section of the insurance laws of the state of domicile of a foreign or alien insurer.
