In the event that the Company elects to distribute a Fund Summary Prospectus, the Company represents and warrants that it will comply with all laws and regulations applicable to the Company, the Accounts, or the Variable Insurance Products in connection with the use of such Fund Summary Prospectus.
(c) In the event that the Sponsor elects to discontinue the use of a Fund Summary Prospectus, the Sponsor agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Company with prior notice of such discontinuation.”
