No. 811–22161] 

Summary: Applicant, a unit 

investment trust registered under the 

Investment Company Act of 1940, seeks 

an order declaring that it has ceased to 

be an investment company. Applicant 

states that it has no contractowners and 

no outstanding contracts that allocate 

premiums and contract value to the 

Separate Account. The contract 

registered on Form N–4 and offered out 

of the Separate Account (File No. 333– 

148489) was sold to only one (1) 

contractowner; that sale occurred on 

April 20, 2009. That one (1) contract 

was surrendered on November 24, 2009. 

Because the Depositor has decided to 

discontinue sales of the contract and has 

no plans to develop any other variable 

annuity contracts that would be 

supported by the Separate Account, and 

because there are currently no assets in 

the Separate Account or its subaccounts, 

the Depositor has determined that it will 

not use the Separate Account as a 

funding medium to support reserves for 

future sales of any other variable 

annuity contract and that the Separate 

Account should be deregistered. 

Filing Dates: The application was 

filed on March 24, 2010 and an 

amended application was filed on
