FUND COMPLIANCE 3.1 The Fund and the Adviser acknowledge that any failure (whether intentional or in good faith or otherwise) to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Code or the diversification requirements of Section 817(h) of the Code may result in the Contracts not being treated as variable contracts for federal income tax purposes, which would have adverse tax consequences for Contract owners and could also adversely affect the Company's corporate tax liability. The Fund and the Adviser further acknowledge that any such failure may result in costs and expenses being incurred by the Company in obtaining whatever regulatory authorizations are required to substitute shares of another investment company for those of the failed Fund or as well as fees and expenses of legal counsel and other advisors to the Company and any federal income taxes, interest or tax penalties incurred by the Company in connection with any such failure. 3.2 The Fund represents and warrants that it is currently qualified as a Regulated Investment Company under Subchapter M of the Code, and that it will maintain such qualification (under Subchapter M or any successor or similar provision) and that it will notify the Company immediately upon having a reasonable basis for believing that it has ceased to so qualify or that it might not so qualify in the future. 3.3 The Fund represents that it will at all times invest money from the Contracts in such a manner as to ensure that the Contracts will be treated as variable contracts under the Code and the regulations issued thereunder; including, but not limited to, that the Fund will at all times comply with Section 817(h) of the Code and Treasury Regulation 1.817-5, as amended from time to time, relating to the diversification requirements for variable annuity, endowment, or life insurance contracts, and with Section 817(d) of the Code, relating to the definition of a variable contract, and any amendments or other modifications to such Section or Regulation. The Fund will notify the Company immediately upon having a reasonable basis for believing that the Fund or a Portfolio thereunder has ceased to comply with the diversification requirements or that the Fund or Portfolio might not comply with the diversification requirements in the future. In the event of a breach of this representation by the Fund, it will take all reasonable steps to adequately diversify the Fund so as to achieve compliance within the grace period afforded by Treasury Regulation 1.817-5. 3.4 The Adviser agrees to provide the Company with a certificate or statement indicating compliance by each Portfolio of the Fund with Section 817(h) of the Code, such certificate or statement to be sent to the Company no later than thirty (30) days following the end of each calendar quarter.
