No liabilities of the insurer arising out of any other business of the insurer shall be satisfied from assets properly allocated to and maintained in a separate account except from any assets allocated to the separate account that exceed the reserves under the separate account policies, contracts, or agreements. Any valid and allowed claim for contractual benefits that cannot be satisfied out of the assets properly allocated to and maintained in a separate account shall be included as a claim against the general account as set forth in subdivision (2) of section 44-4842.
