    (i) Nonaccount balance plans. The amount of compensation deferred 
before January 1, 2005, under a nonqualified deferred compensation plan 
that is a nonaccount balance plan (as defined in Sec.  1.409A-
1(c)(2)(i)(C)), equals the present value of the amount to which the 
service provider would have been entitled under the plan if the service 
provider voluntarily terminated services without cause on December 31, 
2004, and received a payment of the benefits available from the plan on 
the earliest possible date allowed under the plan to receive a payment 
of benefits following the termination of services, and received the 
benefits in the form with the maximum value.
    Notwithstanding the foregoing, for any subsequent taxable year of 
the service provider, the grandfathered amount may increase to equal 
the present value of the benefit the service provider actually becomes 
entitled to, in the form and at the time actually paid, determined 
under the terms of the plan (including applicable limits under the 
Internal Revenue Code), as in effect on October 3, 2004, without regard

Whether assumptions and methods are reasonable for this purpose is 
determined as of each date the benefit is valued for purposes of 
determining the grandfathered benefit, provided that any reasonable 
actuarial assumptions and methods that were used by the service 
recipient with respect to such benefit as of December 31, 2004, will 
continue to be treated as reasonable assumptions and methods for 
purposes of calculating the grandfathered benefit.
    Actuarial assumptions and methods will be presumed reasonable if 
they are the same as those used to value benefits under a qualified 
plan sponsored by the service recipient the benefits under which are 
part of the benefit formula under, or otherwise impact the amount of 
benefits under, the nonaccount balance nonqualified deferred 
compensation plan.
