Common use of THE VARIABLE ACCOUNT Clause in Contracts

THE VARIABLE ACCOUNT. The assets of the Variable Account shall be kept separate from Our other assets. We have the right to transfer to the General Account any assets of the Variable Account which are in excess of the reserves and other Policy liabilities of the Variable Account. The income, gains and losses, realized or unrealized, from assets allocated to the Variable Account shall be credited to or charged against the Variable Account without regard to any other income, gains or losses. Also, the income gains and losses, realized or unrealized, from assets allocated to any Sub-Account shall be credited to or charged against that Sub-Account, without regard to other income, gains or losses of Us or of any other Sub-Account. The portion of the assets of the Variable Account equal to the reserves and other Policy liabilities with respect to the Variable Account will not be chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business the Company may conduct. Although the assets maintained in the Variable Account will not be charged with any liabilities arising out of any other business conducted by Us, all obligations arising under the Policy, including the promise to make all benefit payments, are Our general corporate obligations. At Our election, and subject to any necessary vote by those having voting rights, the Variable Account may be operated as a unit investment trust or a management company under the Investment Company Act of 1940. It may be registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 or de-registered in the event registration is no longer required. In the event of any change in the operation of the Variable Account pursuant to this provision, We may make appropriate amendment to the contract to reflect the change and take such other action as may be necessary and appropriate to effect the change.
