(1) The income, gains, and losses, realized or unrealized, from assets allocated to a separate account shall be credited to or charged against the account without regard to other income, gains, or losses of the company or to any other separate account of the company;

(2) Except as may be provided with respect to reserves for guaranteed benefits and funds referred to in subdivision (3) of this section, amounts allocated to any separate account and accumulations thereon may be invested and reinvested without regard to any requirements or limitations prescribed by the laws of this state governing the investments of life insurance companies. The investments in the separate accounts shall not be considered when applying the investment limitations otherwise applicable to the investments of the company;

(3) Except with the approval of the commissioner and under such conditions as to investments and other matters as the commissioner may prescribe which shall recognize the guaranteed nature of the benefits provided, reserves for benefits guaranteed as to dollar amount and duration and funds guaranteed as to principal amount or stated rate of interest shall not be maintained in a separate account;

(4)

(A) Unless otherwise approved by the commissioner, assets allocated to a separate account shall be valued at their market value on the date of valuation, with the exception of separate accounts supporting modified guaranteed annuities which shall be valued as provided in such rules and regulations as the commissioner shall adopt, or, if there is no readily available market, then as provided under the terms of the contract or the rules or other written agreement applicable to the separate account.

(B) However, unless approved by the commissioner, the portion of any of the assets of the separate account equal to the company's reserve liability with regard to the guaranteed benefits and funds referred to in subdivision (3) of this section shall be valued in accordance with the rules otherwise applicable to the company's assets;

(5)

(A) Amounts allocated to a separate account in the exercise of the power granted by this subchapter shall be owned by the company. The company shall not be, nor hold itself out to be, a trustee with respect to the amounts.

(B)

(i) If and to the extent so provided under the applicable contracts, that portion of the assets of any such separate account equal to the reserves and other contract liabilities with respect to the account shall not be chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business the company may conduct.

(ii) However, in no event shall the assets in a separate account for support of modified guaranteed annuity contracts subject to a market adjustment as provided in this section be immune from liabilities arising out of any other business the company conducts;

(6)

(A) No sale, exchange, or other transfer of assets may be made by a company between any of its separate accounts or between any other investment account and one (1) or more of its separate accounts unless, in case of a transfer into a separate account, the transfer is made solely to establish the account or to support the operation of the contracts with respect to the separate account to which the transfer is made, and unless such a transfer, whether into or from a separate account, is made by a transfer of cash or by a transfer of securities having a readily determinable market value, provided that the transfer of securities is approved by the commissioner.

(B) The commissioner may approve other transfers among accounts if, in the commissioner's opinion, the transfers would not be inequitable; and

(7) To the extent the company deems it necessary to comply with any applicable federal or state laws, the company, with respect to any separate account, including, without limitation, any separate account which is a management investment company or a unit investment trust, may provide for persons having an interest therein appropriate voting and other rights and special procedures for the conduct of the business of the account, including, without limitation, special rights and procedures relating to investment policy, investment advisory services, selection of independent public accountants, and the selection of a committee, the members of which need not be otherwise affiliated with the company, to manage the business of the account.
