An exotic option that gives the holder the right to receive a stream of payments up to a maximum total accumulation value. For example, an option with 3 -year maturity may pay 6% of the initial price of its underlying asset, up to a total maximum of 10%, if the underlying trades above its initial value in each of the three years. This option would only have two payment maximum thresholds, after the second of which, it expires worthless.
