arrangements set forth in this Agreement (the "Agreement") dated as of the 20th
day of October, 2006.
WHEREAS, MIC, through the separate accounts listed on Schedule A,
issues variable insurance annuity and life insurance contracts (the "Contracts")
that utilize (i) certain shares of beneficial interest of the series of various
funds, and (ii) certain shares of other funds (together, the "Shares");
WHEREAS, the Distributor is the principal underwriter and distributor
of the Contracts;
WHEREAS, the Distributor receives fees from the funds utilized by the
Contracts (each a "Fund," and together, the "Funds") pursuant to certain
agreements with each such Fund and Distribution Plans adopted by each such Fund
pursuant to Rule 12b-1 (each, a "Plan" and together, the "Plans") under the
Investment Company Act of 1940;
WHEREAS, the Plans relate to certain Shares of the Funds (the "Plan
Shares");
WHEREAS, the Distributor desires to obtain from the Servicer certain
services described in Schedule B to this Agreement (the "Services") for the
Servicer's customers who are current or potential beneficial holders of the Plan
Shares (the "Customers"), and the Servicer desires to provide the Services; and
WHEREAS, neither the Servicer nor any other person has any contractual
or other legal obligation to provide the Services.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:
1. SERVICES. The Servicer agrees to provide to the Distributor
the Services described in Schedule B hereto for the Customers.

3. TERM.
This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect for a period of
one year from the date hereof and shall be automatically renewed thereafter for

extended or as otherwise terminated in accordance with Section 4 hereof.

actually received the corresponding fees from the Fund with respect to such

or equitable claim, right

or remedy. Rather, this Agreement is intended to be for the sole and exclusive
benefit of the parties hereto.
(d) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts,
each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which shall together
constitute one and the same instrument.

construed, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the state of Connecticut
without reference to the conflict of law provisions thereof.
(f) Severability. If any portion of this Agreement shall be found
to be invalid or unenforceable by a court or tribunal or regulatory agency or
competent jurisdiction, the remainder shall not be affected thereby, but shall
have the same force and effect as if the invalid or unenforceable portion had
not been inserted.
