2.
Upon the acceptance of purchase payments made by a Contract Owner pursuant to a Contract issued in accordance with the Prospectus contained in the Registration Statement and upon compliance with applicable law, such a Contract Owner will have a legally-issued, fully-paid, non-assessable contractual interest under such Contract, and all contractual interests of the Contract Owner are binding obligations of the Registrant.
