Item 32. Persons Controlled by or Under Common Control with the Depositor or the Registrant
The Registrant is a separate account of the Depositor operating as a unit investment trust. The Registrant supports benefits payable under the Depositor's variable life insurance policies by investing assets allocated to various investment options in shares of John Hancock Variable Insurance Trust (formerly, John Hancock Trust) and other mutual funds registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 as open-end management investment companies of the "series" type.
As of the effective date of the registration statement, the Company and its affiliates are controlled by Manulife Financial Corporation.
Item 33. Indemnification
The Form of Selling Agreement or Service Agreement between John Hancock Distributors LLC ("JH Distributors") and various broker-dealers may provide that the selling broker-dealer indemnify and hold harmless JH Distributors and the Company, including their affiliates, officers, directors, employees and agents against losses, claims, liabilities or expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees), arising out of or based upon a breach of the Selling or Service Agreement, or any applicable law or regulation or any applicable rule of any self-regulatory organization or similar provision consistent with industry practice.
Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
