Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, for purposes of Section 12.8 and the determination of the optional form of benefit conversion to the Level Income Option described in Section 6.2.4, Actuarial Equivalent value shall be determined as follows (provided, that with respect to the Level Income Option optional form of benefit conversion determination, Actuarial Equivalent value shall be determined on the basis of the greater of (1) either (a) the actuarial equivalent, computed using the actuarial assumptions in Exhibit E-1, E-2, E-3, or E-4, as applicable, of the accrued benefit as of February 1, 2006 or (b) the actuarial equivalent, computed using the mortality and interest rate described in the applicable Supplement, of the accrued benefit as of February 1, 2006, or (2) the actuarial equivalent, computed as provided below, of the accrued benefit as of the date of determination on or after February 1, 2006):
