FUND SHARES 3.1 The Contracts funded through the Separate Account will provide for the investment of certain amounts in Shares of each Participating Fund. 3.2 Each Participating Fund agrees to make its Shares available for purchase at the then applicable net asset value per Share by Insurance Company and the Separate Account on each Business Day pursuant to rules of the Commission. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Participating Fund may refuse to sell its Shares to any person, or suspend or terminate the offering of its Shares, if such action is required by law or by regulatory authorities having jurisdiction or is, in the sole discretion of its Board, acting in good faith and in light of its fiduciary duties under federal and any applicable state laws, necessary and in the best interests of the Participating Fund's shareholders. 3.3 Each Participating Fund agrees that shares of the Participating Fund will be sold only to (a) Participating Companies and their separate accounts or (b) "qualified pension or retirement plans" as determined under Section 817(h)(4) of the Code. Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 3.3, no shares of any Participating Fund will be sold to the general public. 3.4 Each Participating Fund shall use its best efforts to provide closing net asset value, dividend and capital gain information on a per Share basis to Insurance Company by 6:00 p.m. Eastern time on each Business Day. Any material errors in the calculation of net asset value, dividend and capital gain information shall be reported immediately upon discovery to Insurance Company. Non-material errors will be corrected in the next Business Day's net asset value per Share. 3.5 At the end of each Business Day, Insurance Company will use the information described in Sections 3.2 and 3.4 to calculate the unit values of the Separate Account for the day. Using this unit value, Insurance Company will process the day's Separate Account transactions received by it by the close of trading on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange (currently 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) to determine the net dollar amount of the Shares of each Participating Fund that will be purchased or redeemed at that day's closing net asset value per Share. The net purchase or redemption orders will be transmitted to each Participating Fund by Insurance Company by 11:00 a.m. Eastern time on the Business Day next following Insurance Company's receipt of that information. Subject to Sections 3.6 and 3.8, all purchase and redemption orders for Insurance Company's General Accounts shall be effected at the net asset value per Share of each Participating Fund next calculated after receipt of the order by the Participating Fund or its Transfer Agent. 3.6 Each Participating Fund appoints Insurance Company as its agent for the limited purpose of accepting orders for the purchase and redemption of Shares of the Participating Fund for the Separate Account. Each Participating Fund will execute orders at the applicable net asset value per Share determined as of the close of trading on the day of receipt of such orders by Insurance Company acting as agent ("effective trade date"), provided that the Participating Fund receives notice of such orders by 11:00 a.m. Eastern time on the next following Business Day and, if such orders request the purchase of Shares of the Participating Fund, the conditions specified in Section 3.8, as applicable, are satisfied. A redemption or purchase request that does not satisfy the conditions specified above and in Section 3.8, as applicable, will be effected at the net asset value per Share computed on the Business Day immediately preceding the next following Business Day upon which such conditions have been satisfied in accordance with the requirements of this Section and Section 3.8. Insurance Company represents and warrants that all orders submitted by the Insurance Company for execution on the effective trade date shall represent purchase or redemption orders received from Contractholders prior to the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange on the effective trade date. 3.7 Insurance Company will make its best efforts to notify each applicable Participating Fund in advance of any unusually large purchase or redemption orders. 3.8 If Insurance Company's order requests the purchase of Shares of a Participating Fund, Insurance Company will pay for such purchases by wiring Federal Funds to the Participating Fund or its designated custodial account on the day the order is transmitted. Insurance Company shall make all reasonable efforts to transmit to the applicable Participating Fund payment in Federal Funds by 12:00 noon Eastern time on the Business Day the Participating Fund receives the notice of the order pursuant to Section 3.5. Each applicable Participating Fund will execute such orders at the applicable net asset value per Share determined as of the close of trading on the effective trade date if the Participating Fund receives payment in Federal Funds by 12:00 midnight Eastern time on the Business Day the Participating Fund receives the notice of the order pursuant to Section 3.5. If payment in Federal Funds for any purchase is not received or is received by a Participating Fund after 12:00 noon Eastern time on such Business Day, Insurance Company shall promptly, upon each applicable Participating Fund's request, reimburse the respective Participating Fund for any reasonable charges, costs, fees, interest or other expenses incurred by the Participating Fund in connection with any advances to, or borrowings or overdrafts by, the Participating Fund, or any similar expenses incurred by the Participating Fund, as a result of portfolio transactions effected by the Participating Fund based upon such purchase request. If Insurance Company's order requests the redemption of any Shares of a Participating Fund valued at or greater than $1 million dollars, the Participating Fund will wire such amount to Insurance Company within seven days of the order. 3.9 Each Participating Fund has the obligation to ensure that its Shares are registered with applicable federal agencies at all times. 3.10 Each Participating Fund will confirm each purchase or redemption order made by Insurance Company. Transfers of Shares of a Participating Fund will be by book entry only. No share certificates will be issued to Insurance Company. Insurance Company will record Shares ordered from a Participating Fund in an appropriate title for the corresponding account. 3.11 Each Participating Fund shall credit Insurance Company with the appropriate number of Shares. 3.12 On each ex-dividend date of a Participating Fund or, if not a Business Day, on the first Business Day thereafter, each Participating Fund shall communicate to Insurance Company the amount of dividend and capital gain, if any, per Share. All dividends and capital gains shall be automatically reinvested in additional Shares of the applicable Participating Fund at the net asset value per Share on the ex-dividend date. Each Participating Fund shall, on the day after the ex-dividend date or, if not a Business Day, on the first Business Day thereafter, notify Insurance Company of the number of Shares so issued.

On each day on which the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading and on which the Fund calculates its net asset value pursuant to the rules of the SEC (“Business Day”), the Company shall aggregate and calculate the net purchase and redemption orders for each Account received by the Company by the close of the New York Stock Exchange (generally, 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) (the “Close of Trading”) on the Business Day. The Company shall communicate to the Fund or its designee for that Business Day, by Fund/SERV, the net aggregate purchase or redemption orders (if any) for each Account received by the Close of Trading on such Business Day (the “Trade Date”) no later than 7:00 a.m. Eastern Time (or such other time as may be agreed by the parties from time to time) (the “Fund/SERV Transactions Deadline”) on the Business Day following the Trade Date. All such aggregated orders communicated to the Fund or its designee by the Fund/SERV Transactions Deadline on the Business Day following the Trade Date shall be treated by the Fund or its designee as if received prior to the Close of Trading on the Trade Date. All orders received by the Company after the Close of Trading on a Business Day shall not be aggregated with Orders received by the Company prior to the Close of Trading on such Business Day and shall be communicated to BRIL or its designee as part of an aggregated order no sooner than after the FUND/SERV Transactions Deadline or such other time as may be agreed by the parties from time to time) the following Business Day. Cash settlement shall be transmitted pursuant to the normal NSCC settlement process. In the case of delayed settlement, the Fund or its designee shall make arrangements for the settlement of redemptions by wire no later than the time permitted for settlement of redemption orders by the 1940 Act. Unless otherwise informed in writing, such redemption wires should be sent to an account specified by the Company and agreed to by Fund Parties.
