Separate Account C or in any other legallysegregated separate accounts We own. Theassets of the General Account support Ourinsurance obligations and are subject togeneral liabilities from Our businessoperations and to claims by Our generalcreditors. The assets of the General Accountcan be invested as We choose, subject tocertain legal requirements.

If We declare excess interest, Weare not required to guarantee that it willremain in effect for any specific period oftime. Therefore, We may reduce oreliminate such excess interest at any timewithout prior notice to You.
