As to any Participating Fund, at the option of Insurance Company, if shares of that Participating Fund are not reasonably available to meet the requirements of the Contracts as determined by Insurance Company.

c. As to a Participating Fund, at the option of Insurance Company, upon the institution of formal proceedings against that Participating Fund by the Commission, National Association of Securities Dealers or any other regulatory body, the expected or anticipated ruling, judgment or outcome of which would, in Insurance Company's reasonable judgment, materially impair that Participating Fund's ability to meet and perform the Participating Fund's obligations and duties hereunder.

d. As to a Participating Fund, at the option of each Participating Fund, upon the institution of formal proceedings against Insurance Company by the Commission, National Association of Securities Dealers or any other regulatory body, the expected or anticipated ruling, judgment or outcome of which would, in the Participating Fund's reasonable judgment, materially impair Insurance Company's ability to meet and perform Insurance Company's obligations and duties hereunder. Prompt notice of election to terminate shall be furnished by such Participating Fund with said termination to be effective upon receipt of notice;
e. As to a Participating Fund, at the option of that Participating Fund, if the Participating Fund shall determine, in its sole judgment reasonably exercised in good faith, that Insurance Company has suffered a material adverse change in its business or financial condition or is the subject of material adverse publicity and such material adverse change or material adverse publicity is likely to have a material adverse impact upon the business and operation of that Participating Fund or Dreyfus, such Participating Fund shall notify Insurance Company in writing of such determination and its intent to terminate this Agreement, and after considering the actions taken by Insurance Company and any other changes in circumstances since the giving of such notice, such determination of the Participating Fund shall continue to apply on the sixtieth (60th) day following the giving of such notice, which sixtieth day shall be the effective date of termination;

Termination shall be effective immediately as to that Participating Fund only upon such occurrence without notice;
h. At the option of a Participating Fund upon a determination by its Board in good faith that it is no longer advisable and in the best interests of shareholders of that Participating Fund to continue to operate pursuant to this Agreement. Termination pursuant to this Subsection (h) shall be effective upon notice by such Participating Fund to Insurance Company of such termination;

Any termination of this Agreement shall not affect the operation of Article IX of this Agreement.
10.3 Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.2 hereof, each Participating Fund and Dreyfus may, at the option of the Participating Fund, continue to make available additional shares of that Participating Fund for as long as the Participating Fund desires pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement as provided below, for all Contracts in effect on the effective date of termination of this Agreement (hereinafter referred to as "Existing Contracts"). Specifically, without limitation, if that Participating Fund and Dreyfus so elect to make additional Participating Fund shares available, the owners of the Existing Contracts or Insurance Company, whichever shall have legal authority to do so, shall be permitted to reallocate investments in that Participating Fund, redeem investments in that Participating Fund and/or invest in that Participating Fund upon the making of additional purchase payments under the Existing Contracts. In the event of a termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.2 hereof, such Participating Fund and Dreyfus, as promptly as is practicable under the circumstances, shall notify Insurance Company whether Dreyfus and that Participating Fund will continue to make that Participating Fund's shares available after such termination. If such Participating Fund shares continue to be made available after such termination, the provisions of this Agreement shall remain in effect and thereafter either of that Participating Fund or Insurance Company may terminate the Agreement as to that Participating Fund, as so continued pursuant to this Section 10.3, upon prior written notice to the other party, such notice to be for a period that is reasonable under the circumstances but, if given by the Participating Fund, need not be for more than six months.

Termination of the Lease The parties agree that the Management Agreement and the rights and benefits of Manager thereunder shall not be terminated or disturbed in any respect except in accordance with the terms of the Management Agreement, and not as a result of any termination of the Lease.

Default and Termination (a) In the event that either Party (the “Non-defaulting Party”) determines that the other Party (the “Defaulting Party”) is in breach of any term or condition of this Agreement, unless the breach is a Substantial Breach, the Non- defaulting Party shall give the Defaulting Party fourteen (14) days from the day of written notification of the breach for the Defaulting Party to remedy the breach or if the breach cannot reasonably be cured within such period, provided the Defaulting Party proceeds to diligently remedy the default, such additional period of time as is reasonably required to remedy the breach, as determined by the Non-defaulting Party, acting reasonably.
