Schedule A, as may be amended from time to time (the “Accounts”).
W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, the Fund has filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (“SEC”) to register itself as an open-end management investment company under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), and to register the offer and sale of
its shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”); and
WHEREAS, the Fund desires to act as an investment vehicle for separate accounts established
for variable life insurance policies and variable annuity contracts to be offered by insurance
companies that have entered into participation agreements with the Fund (the “Participating
Insurance Companies”); and
WHEREAS, the Underwriter is registered as a broker-dealer with the SEC under the Securities

WHEREAS, the several series of shares of the Fund offered by the Fund to the Company and the
Accounts are set forth on Schedule B attached hereto (each, a “Portfolio,” and, collectively, the
“Portfolios”); and
WHEREAS, the Fund has received an order from the SEC granting Participating Insurance
Companies and their separate accounts exemptions from the provisions of sections 9(a), 13(a), 15(a)
and 15(b) of the 1940 Act, and rules 6e-2(b)(15) and 6e-3(T)(b)(15) thereunder, to the extent

WHEREAS, Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Investment Managers, L.P. (“MLIM”) is duly registered as an investment

insurance policies and/or variable annuity contracts (the “Contracts”) funded or to be funded
through one or more of the Company’s Separate Accounts as set forth in Schedule A (the “Accounts”);
and
WHEREAS, the Company has registered or will register each Account as a unit investment Fund
under the 1940 Act; and
WHEREAS, to the extent permitted by applicable insurance laws and regulations, the Company
intends to purchase shares in one or more of the Portfolios (the “Shares”) on behalf of the
Accounts to fund the Contracts, and the Fund intends to sell such Shares to the relevant Accounts
at such Shares’ net asset value.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of their mutual promises, the parties agree as follows:
ARTICLE 1
Sale of the Fund Shares
Sale of the Fund Shares
1.1 Subject to Section 1.3, the Fund shall cause the Underwriter to make Shares available to
the Accounts at the most recent net asset value provided to the Company prior to receipt of such
purchase order by the Fund (or the Underwriter as its agent), in accordance with the operational
procedures mutually agreed to by the Underwriter and the Company from time to time and the
provisions of the then current prospectus of the Portfolios. Shares of a particular Portfolio of
the Fund shall be ordered in such quantities and at such times as determined by the Company to be
necessary to meet the requirements of the Contracts. The Directors of the Fund (the “Directors”)
may refuse to sell shares of any Portfolio to any person (including the Company and the Accounts),
or suspend or terminate the offering of shares of any Portfolio, if such action is required by law
or by regulatory authorities having jurisdiction or is, in the sole discretion of the Directors
acting in good faith and in light of their fiduciary duties under federal and any applicable state
laws, necessary in the best interests of the shareholders of such Portfolio.
1.2 Subject to Section 1.3, the Fund will redeem any full or fractional shares of any
Portfolio when requested by the Company on behalf of an Account at the most recent net asset value
provided to the Company prior to receipt by the Fund (or the Underwriter as its agent) of the
request for redemption, as established in accordance with the operational procedures mutually
agreed to by the Underwriter and the Company from time to time and the provisions of the then
current prospectus of the Portfolios. The Fund shall make payment for such shares in accordance
with Section 1.4, but in no event shall payment be delayed for a greater period than is permitted
by the 1940 Act (including any Rule or order of the SEC thereunder).
1.3 (a) The Company will not aggregate orders received from its Contract holders after close
of the New York Stock Exchange (generally, 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) (“Market Close”) with orders
received before Market Close, and warrants that its internal control structure concerning the
processing and transmission of orders is suitably designed to prevent or detect on
Page 2
a timely basis orders received after Market Close from being aggregated with orders received before
Market Close and to minimize errors that could result in late transmission of orders. Orders
received by Company before Market Close will receive that day’s net asset value and Orders received
by Company after Market Close will receive the next day’s net asset value.
(b) The Fund shall accept purchase and redemption orders resulting from investment in and
payments under the Contracts on each Business Day, provided that such orders are received prior to
9:30 a.m. Eastern Time, provided that Company shall use its best efforts to send such orders by
9:00 a.m., and reflect instructions received by the Company from Contract holders in good order
prior to the time the net asset value of each Portfolio is priced in accordance with the preceding
paragraph and the Fund’s prospectus on the prior Business Day. “Business Day” shall mean any 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. Purchase and redemption orders shall be provided by
the Company in such written or electronic form (including, without limitation, facsimile) as may be
mutually acceptable to the Company and the Underwriter. The Underwriter may reject purchase and
redemption orders which are not in the form prescribed in the Fund’s prospectus or statement of
additional information. In the event that the Company and the Underwriter agree to use a form of
written or electronic communication which is not capable of recording the time, date and recipient
of any communication and confirming good transmission, the Company agrees that it shall be
responsible for confirming with the Underwriter that any communication sent by the Company was in
fact received by the Underwriter in proper form and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
The Fund and its agents shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall be fully protected from all
liability in acting upon, the instructions of the of authorized individuals.
1.4 Purchase orders that are transmitted to the Fund in accordance with Section 1.3 shall be
paid for no later than the end of the Business Day after the Fund receives notice of the order.
Payments shall be made in federal funds transmitted by wire. In the event that the Company shall
fail to pay in a timely manner for any purchase order validly received by the Underwriter on behalf
of the Fund pursuant to Section 1.3 , the Company shall hold the Fund harmless from any losses
reasonably sustained by the Fund as the result of acting in reliance on such purchase order.
Redemption orders that are transmitted to the Fund in accordance with Section 1.3 shall be paid for
no later than the end of the Business Day after the Fund receives notice of the order. Payments
shall be made in federal funds transmitted by wire. In the event that the Fund shall fail to pay
in a timely manner for any redemption order pursuant to Section 1.3, the Fund and Underwriter shall
hold the Company harmless from any losses reasonably sustained by the Company as the result of
acting in reliance on such redemption order.
1.5 Issuance and transfer of Shares will be by book entry only. Share certificates will not be
issued to the Company or the Account. Shares ordered from the Fund will be recorded in the
appropriate title for each Account or the appropriate subaccount of each Account.
1.6 The Fund shall furnish prompt written notice to the Company of any income, dividends or
capital gain distribution payable on Shares. The Company hereby elects to receive all such income
dividends and capital gain distributions as are payable on a Portfolio’s Shares in
Page 3
additional Shares of that Portfolio. The Fund shall notify the Company in writing of the number of
Shares so issued as payment of such dividends and distributions.
1.7 The Fund shall make the net asset value per share for each Portfolio available to the
Company on a daily basis as soon as reasonably practical after the net asset value per share is
calculated and shall use its best efforts to make such net asset value per share available by 7:00
p.m. Eastern Time. If the Fund provides materially incorrect share net asset value information, it
shall make an adjustment to the number of shares purchased or redeemed for any affected Account to
reflect the correct net asset value per share. Any material error in the calculation or reporting
of net asset value per share, dividend or capital gains information shall be reported promptly in
writing upon discovery to the Company. Fund and Underwriter shall hold Company harmless for (i)
the costs of producing and mailing corrected transaction confirmations and/or statements; (ii) for
any losses incurred by Company by reason of having paid out any claims or redemptions based upon
the erroneous NAV provided by the Fund; and (iii) for reasonable costs incurred by Company in
connection with Company’s reprocessing its transactions based on the corrected NAV not to exceed
$1,000.
1.8 The Company agrees that it will not take any action to operate an Account as a management
investment company under the 1940 Act without the Fund’s and the Underwriter’s prior written
consent.
1.9 The Fund agrees that its Shares will be sold only to Participating Insurance Companies and
their separate accounts. No Shares of any Portfolio will be sold directly to the general public.
The Company agrees that Shares will be used only for the purposes of funding the Contracts and
Accounts listed in Schedule A, as amended from time to time.
1.10 The Fund agrees that all Participating Insurance Companies shall have the obligations and
responsibilities regarding conflicts of interest corresponding to those contained in Article 4 of
this Agreement.
1.11 The Underwriter reserves the right to reject any purchase orders, including exchanges,
for any reason, including if the Underwriter, in its sole opinion, believes the Company’s Contract
holder(s) is engaging in short-term or excessive trading into and out of a Portfolio or otherwise
engaging in trading that may be disruptive to a Portfolio (“Market Timing”). The Company agrees to
enforce the limitations on the number of transfers as described in Company’s product prospectuses
as amended from time to time, and to cooperate with the Underwriter and the Fund to identify and/or
review certain large transactions in the Fund and, to provide such relevant information about such
transactions to Underwriter as it may reasonably request. In the event Fund and/or Underwriter
requests a Contract holder’s identity, Fund and Underwriter agree to execute an agreement to
maintain the confidentiality of such information in such form as Company may require in order to
meet its confidentiality and privacy policies. Failure of either the Underwriter or the Fund to
reject any purchase orders that might be deemed to be Market Timing shall not constitute a waiver
of the Underwriter’s rights under this section.

ARTICLE 2
Obligations of the Parties
Obligations of the Parties
2.1 The Fund shall prepare and be responsible for filing with the SEC and any state securities
regulators requiring such filing, all shareholder reports, notices, proxy materials (or similar
materials such as voting instruction solicitation materials), prospectuses and statements of
additional information of the Fund required to be so filed. The Fund shall bear the costs of
registration and qualification of its Shares, preparation and filing of the documents listed in
this Section 2.1 and all taxes to which an issuer is subject on the issuance and transfer of its
Shares.
2.2 The Underwriter or its designee shall provide the Company, free of charge, with as many
copies of the current prospectus and any supplements and stickers thereto, (describing only the
Portfolios listed in Schedule B hereto) for the Shares as the Company may reasonably request for
distribution to existing Contract owners whose Contracts are funded by such Shares. The
Underwriter or its designee shall provide the Company, at the Company’s expense, with as many
copies of the current prospectus for the Shares as the Company may reasonably require for
distribution to prospective purchasers of Contracts. If requested by the Company in lieu thereof,
the Underwriter or its designee shall provide such documentation (including a “camera ready” copy
of the new prospectus as set in type or, at the request of the Company, a diskette in the form sent
to the financial printer) and other assistance as is reasonably necessary in order for the parties
hereto once each year (or more frequently if the prospectus for the Shares is supplemented or
amended) to have the prospectus for the Shares conform to the Company’s Contract prospectuses or
related materials; the expenses of such printing to be borne by Fund for cost of printing copies
for existing Contract owners and by the Company for any additional copies, provided however that
Fund shall not be required to pay more for the cost of prospectuses (and supplements and stickers
thereto) than it would have paid had the Fund printed the copies for Contract owners itself. In
the event that the Company requests that the Underwriter or its designee provide the prospectus in
a “camera ready” or diskette format, the Underwriter shall be responsible solely for providing the
prospectus in the format in which it is accustomed to formatting prospectuses and shall bear the
expense of providing the prospectus in such format, and the Company shall bear the expense of
adjusting or changing the format to conform with any of its Contract prospectuses or related
materials. In addition, the Underwriter shall provide Company with a copy of the prospectus (and
any supplements and stickers thereto) in pdf format.
2.3 The prospectus for the Shares shall state that the statement of additional information for
the Shares is available from the Fund or its designee. The Fund or its designee, at its expense,
shall print and provide such statement of additional information, and any supplements and stickers
thereto, to the Company for distribution to any owner of a Contract funded by the Shares. The Fund
or its designee, shall at the Company’s direction and expense, print and provide such statement of
additional information, and any supplements and stickers thereto, to the Company (or a master of
such statement suitable for duplication by the Company) for distribution to a prospective purchaser
who requests such statement. In addition, the Underwriter shall provide Company with a copy of the
statement of additional information and any supplements and stickers, thereto, in pdf format.
Page 5
2.4 The Underwriter or its designee shall provide the Company free of charge copies, if and to
the extent applicable to the Shares, of the Fund’s proxy materials, reports to shareholders and
other communications to shareholders in such quantity as the Company shall reasonably require for
distribution to Contract owners.
2.5 With respect to any prospectus, shareholder report or proxy solicitation materials that
concern solely the Fund and no other investment vehicle funding the Accounts, the Fund shall pay
for the Company’s postage costs in connection with mailing such materials to existing Contract
owners and the cost of proxy solicitation and tabulation (including cost of a proxy solicitation
company). With respect to any prospectus, shareholder report or proxy solicitation materials that
concern the Fund together with other investment vehicles funding the Accounts, the Fund shall pay a
proportionate amount of the Company’s postage, proxy or other costs, based on the percentage of
such Account’s overall assets that are invested in the Fund, in connection with mailing such
materials to existing Contract owners.
2.6 The Company shall furnish, or cause to be furnished, to the Fund or its designee, a copy
of language that would be used in any prospectus for the Contracts or statement of additional
information for the Contracts in which the Fund, the Underwriter or MLIM (“Fund Parties”) is named
prior to the filing of such document with the SEC. Upon request, the Company shall furnish, or
shall cause to be furnished, to the Fund or its designee, each piece of sales literature or other
promotional material in which the Fund, the Underwriter or MLIM is named, at least ten Business
Days prior to its use. No such Fund-related information contained in a prospectus, statement of
additional information or material shall be used if any of the Fund Parties reasonably objects to
such use in writing.
2.7 At the reasonable request of the Fund or its designee, the Company shall furnish, or shall
cause to be furnished, as soon as practical, to the Fund or its designee copies of the following
reports:
(a) | the Company’s annual financial report (prepared under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”, if any); | ||
(b) | the Company’s quarterly statements, if any; | ||
(c) | any financial statement, proxy statement, notice or report of the Company sent to policyholders; | ||
(d) | any registration statement (without exhibits) for a variable life insurance product that offers the Fund as an underlying investment option and financial reports of the related Separate Account of Company filed with any state insurance regulator. |
2.8 The Company shall not give any information or make any representations or statements on
behalf of the Fund or Underwriter or concerning the Fund, the Underwriter or the Adviser in
connection with the Contracts other than information or representations contained in and accurately
derived from the registration statement or prospectus for the Shares (as such registration
statement and prospectus may be amended or supplemented from time to time),
Page 6
reports of the Fund, Fund-sponsored proxy statements, or in sales literature or other promotional
material approved by the Fund or Underwriter, except with the written permission of the Fund or
Underwriter.
2.9 Neither the Fund nor the Underwriter shall give any information or make any
representations or statements on behalf of the Company or concerning the Company, the Accounts or
the Contracts other than information or representations contained in and accurately derived from
the registration statements or Contract prospectuses (as such registration statements or Contract
prospectuses may by amended or supplemented from time to time), except with the written permission
of the Company.
2.10 The Company shall register and qualify the Contracts for sale to the extent required by
applicable law. The Company shall amend the registration statement of the Contracts under the 1933
Act and registration statement for each Account under the 1940 Act from time to time as required in
order to effect the continuous offering of the Contracts or as may otherwise be required by
applicable law. The Company shall register and qualify the Contracts for sale to the extent
required by applicable securities laws and insurance laws of the various states.
2.11 Solely with respect to Contracts and Accounts that are subject to the 1940 Act, so long
as, and to the extent that the SEC interprets the 1940 Act to require pass-through voting
privileges for variable Contract holders: (a) the Company will provide pass-through voting
privileges to owners of Contracts whose cash values are invested, through the Accounts, in Shares
of the Fund; (b) the Fund shall require all Participating Insurance Companies to calculate voting
privileges in the same manner and the Company shall be responsible for assuring that the Accounts
calculate voting privileges in the manner established by the Fund; (c) with respect to each
Account, the Company will vote Shares of the Fund held by the Account and for which no timely
voting instructions from Contract or Contract holders are received, as well as Shares held by the
Account that are owned by the Company for their general accounts, in the same proportion as the
Company votes Shares held by the Account for which timely voting instructions are received from
Contract owners; and (d) the Company and its agents will in no way recommend or oppose or interfere
with the solicitation of proxies for Fund Shares held by Contract owners without the prior written
consent of the Fund, which consent may be withheld in the Fund’s sole discretion.
ARTICLE 3
Representations and Warranties

3.1 The Company represents and warrants that it is an insurance company duly organized and in
good standing under the laws of the State of Arizona and has established each Account as a separate
account under such law.
3.2 The Company represents and warrants that it has registered or, prior to any issuance or

treated or that they might not be so treated in the future.
3.4 The Company hereby certifies that it will establish and maintain an anti-money laundering
(“AML”) program that will include written policies, procedures and internal controls reasonably
designed to identify its Contract holders and will undertake appropriate due diligence efforts to
“know its customers” in accordance with all applicable anti-money laundering regulations in its
jurisdiction including, where applicable, the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 (the “Patriot Act”), when
such regulations are promulgated by the U.S. Treasury Department. The Company further confirms
that it will monitor for suspicious activity in accordance with the requirements of the Patriot

documents, to enable the Underwriter to fulfill its obligations under the Patriot Act, and, upon
its request, to file a notice pursuant to Section 314 of the Patriot Act and the implementing
regulations related thereto to permit the voluntary sharing of information between the parties

further agrees to comply with all requirements under the Patriot Act and implementing regulations
concerning the use, disclosure, and security of any information that is shared.

ARTICLE 4
Potential Conflicts
Potential Conflicts
4.1 The parties acknowledge that the Fund’s Shares may be made available for investment to
other Participating Insurance Companies. In such event, the Directors of the Fund will monitor the
Fund for the existence of any material irreconcilable conflict between the interests of the
contract owners of all Participating Insurance Companies. An irreconcilable material conflict may
arise for a variety of reasons, including: (a) an action by any state insurance regulatory
authority; (b) a change in applicable federal or state insurance, tax, or securities laws or
regulations, or a public ruling, private letter ruling, no-action or interpretative letter, or any
similar action by insurance, tax, or securities regulatory authorities; (c) an administrative or
judicial decision in any relevant proceeding; (d) the manner in which the investments of any
Portfolio are being managed; (e) a difference in voting instructions given by variable annuity
contract and variable life insurance contract owners; or (f) a decision by an insurer to disregard
the voting instructions of contract owners. The Directors shall promptly inform the Company in
writing if they determine that an irreconcilable material conflict exists and the implications
thereof.
4.2 The Company agrees to promptly report any potential or existing conflicts of which it is
aware to the Directors. The Company will assist the Directors in carrying out their
responsibilities under the Shared Fund Exemptive Order by providing the Directors with all
information reasonably necessary for them to consider any issues raised including, but not
Page 10
limited to, information as to a decision by the Company to disregard Contract owner voting
instructions.
4.3 If it is determined by a majority of the Directors, or a majority of the Fund’s Directors
who are not affiliated with the Adviser or the Underwriter (the “Disinterested Directors”), that a
material irreconcilable conflict exists that affects the interests of Contract owners, the Company
shall, in cooperation with other Participating Insurance Companies whose contract owners are also
affected, at its expense and to the extent reasonably practicable (as determined by the Directors)
take whatever steps are necessary to remedy or eliminate the irreconcilable material conflict,
which steps could include: (a) withdrawing the assets allocable to some or all of the Accounts
from the Fund or any Portfolio and reinvesting such assets in a different investment medium,
including (but not limited to) another Portfolio of the Fund, or submitting the question of whether
or not such segregation should be implemented to a vote of all affected Contracts owners and, as
appropriate, segregating the assets of any appropriate group (i.e., annuity contract
owners, life insurance contract owners, or variable contract owners of one or more Participating
Insurance Companies) that votes in favor of such segregation, or offering to the affected Contract
owners the option of making such a change; and (b) establishing a new registered management
investment company or managed separate account.
4.4 If a material irreconcilable conflict arises because of a decision by the Company to
disregard Contract owner voting instructions and that decision represents a minority position or
would preclude a majority vote, the Company may be required, at the Fund’s election, to withdraw
the affected Account’s investment in the Fund and terminate this Agreement with respect to such
Account; provided, however, that such withdrawal and termination shall be limited to the extent
required by the foregoing material irreconcilable conflict as determined by a majority of the
Disinterested Directors. Any such withdrawal and termination must take place within 30 days after
the Fund gives written notice that this provision is being implemented, subject to applicable law
but in any event consistent with the terms of the Shared Fund Exemptive Order. Until the end of
such 30 day period, the Fund shall continue to accept and implement orders by the Company for the
purchase and redemption of Shares.
4.5 If a material irreconcilable conflict arises because a particular state insurance
regulator’s decision applicable to the Company conflicts with the majority of other state
regulators, then the Company will withdraw the affected Account’s investment in the Fund and
terminate this Agreement with respect to such Account within 30 days after the Fund informs the
Company in writing that it has determined that such decision has created an irreconcilable material
conflict; provided, however, that such withdrawal and termination shall be limited to the extent
required by the foregoing material irreconcilable conflict as determined by a majority of the
Disinterested Directors. Until the end of such 30 day period, the Fund shall continue to accept
and implement orders by the Company for the purchase and redemption of shares of the Fund.
4.6 For purposes of section 4.3 through 4.6 of this Agreement, a majority of the Disinterested
Directors shall determine whether any proposed action adequately remedies any irreconcilable
material conflict, but in no event will the Company be required to establish a new funding medium
for the Contracts if an offer to do so has been declined by vote of a majority of
Page 11
Contract owners materially adversely affected by the irreconcilable material conflict. In the
event that the Directors determine that any proposed action does not adequately remedy any
irreconcilable material conflict, then the Company will withdraw the Account’s investment in the
Fund and terminate this Agreement within 30 days after the Directors inform the Company in writing
of the foregoing determination; provided, however, that such withdrawal and termination shall be
limited to the extent required by any such material irreconcilable conflict as determined by a
majority of the Disinterested Directors.
4.7 Upon request, the Company shall submit to the Directors such reports, materials or data as
the Directors may reasonably request so that the Directors may fully carry out the duties imposed
upon them by the Shared Fund Exemptive Order, and said reports, materials and data shall be
submitted more frequently if deemed appropriate by the Directors.
4.8 If and to the extent that (a) Rule 6e-2 and Rule 6e-3 (T) are amended, or Rule 6e-3 is
adopted, to provide exemptive relief from any provision of the 1940 Act or the rules promulgated
thereunder with respect to mixed or shared funding (as defined in the application for the Shared
Fund Exemptive Order) on terms and conditions materially different from those contained in the
application for the Shared Fund Exemptive Order, or (b) the Shared Fund Exemptive Order is granted
on terms and conditions that differ from those set forth in this Article 4, then the Fund and/or
the Participating Insurance Companies, as appropriate, shall take such steps as may be necessary
(a) to comply with Rules 6e-2 and 6e-3 (T), as amended, and Rule 6e-3, as adopted, to the extent
such rules are applicable, or (b) to conform this Article 4 to the terms and conditions contained
in the Shared Fund Exemptive Order, as the case may be.

upon and was accurately derived from written information furnished to the Company
by or on behalf of the Fund or Underwriter for use in Company Documents or
otherwise for use in connection with the sale of the Contracts or Shares; or

Contracts or Shares; or

from any other material breach of this Agreement by the Company.
5.2 The Underwriter and the Fund agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and each of
its directors, officers, employees and agents and each person, if any, who controls the Company
within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties” for
purposes of this Article 5) against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities (including
amounts paid in settlement with the written consent of the Fund Parties) or expenses (including the
reasonable costs of investigating or defending any alleged loss, claim, damage liability or expense
and reasonable legal counsel fees incurred in connection therewith) (collectively, “Losses”), to
which the Indemnified Parties may become subject under any statute or regulation, or at common law
or other wise, insofar as such Losses:
(a) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statements or alleged untrue
statement of any material fact contained in the registration statement or
prospectus for the Fund (or any amendment or supplement thereto) (collectively,
“Fund Documents” for the purposes of this Article 5), or arise out of or are based
upon the omission or the alleged omission to state therein a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading, provided that this indemnity shall not apply as to any
Page 13
Indemnified Party if such statement or omission or such alleged statement or
omission was made in reliance upon and was accurately derived from written
information furnished to the Fund Parties by or on behalf of the Company for use
in Fund Documents or otherwise for use in connection with the sale of the
Contracts or Shares; or
(b) arise out of or result from statements or representations (other than
statements or representations contained in and accurately derived from Company

(d) arise out of or result from any failure by the Underwriter or the Fund to

Agreement; or
(e) arise out of or result from any material breach of any representation
and/or warranty made by the Underwriter or the Fund in this Agreement or arise out
of or result from any other material breach of this Agreement by the Underwriter
or the Fund.
5.3 Neither the Company, the Underwriter nor the Fund shall be liable under the
indemnification provisions of Section 5.1 or 5.2, as applicable, with respect to any Losses
incurred or assessed against any Indemnified Party to the extent such Losses arise out of or result
from such Indemnified Party’s willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance
of such Indemnified Party’s duties or by reason of such Indemnified Party’s reckless disregard of
obligations or duties under this Agreement.
5.4 Neither the Company, the Underwriter nor the Fund shall be liable under the
indemnification provisions of Section 5.1 or 5.2, as applicable, with respect to any claim made
against an Indemnified Party unless such Indemnified Party shall have notified the other party in

information of the nature of the claim shall have been served upon or otherwise received by such
Indemnified Party (or after such Indemnified Party shall have received notice of service upon or
other notification to any designated agent), but failure to notify the party against whom
indemnification is sought of any such claim shall not relieve that party from any liability which
it may have to the Indemnified Party in the absence of Sections 5.1 and 5.2.
Page 14
5.5 In case any such action is brought against the Indemnified Parties, the indemnifying party
shall be entitled to participate, at its own expense, in the defense of such action. The
indemnifying party also shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the party named in such action. After notice from the indemnifying party to the
Indemnified Party of an election to assume such defense, the Indemnified Party shall bear the fees
and expenses of any additional counsel retained by it, and the indemnifying party will not be
liable to the Indemnified Party under this Agreement for any legal or other expenses subsequently
incurred by such party independently in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable
costs of investigation.

commission of any state or any other regulatory body regarding the Company’s duties under this
Agreement or related to the sale of the Contracts, the operation of the Account, the administration

outcome which would, in the Fund’s or the Underwriter’s respective reasonable judgment, materially
impair the Company’s ability to meet and perform the Company’s obligations and duties hereunder.
6.3 This Agreement may be terminated at the option of the Fund or the Underwriter if the

life insurance policies, as applicable, under the Code, or if the Fund or Underwriter reasonably
believes that the Contracts may fail to so qualify.
6.4 This Agreement may be terminated by the Fund or the Underwriter, at either’s option, if
either the Fund or the Underwriter shall determine, in its sole judgment exercised in good faith,
that either (1) the Company shall have suffered a material adverse change in its business or
financial condition, (2) the Company shall have been the subject of material adverse publicity
which is likely to have a material adverse impact upon the business and operations of either the
Fund or the Underwriter, or (3) the Company breaches any obligation under this Agreement in a

the Company of notice in writing from the Fund or Underwriter of such breach.

making of additional purchase payments under the Existing Contracts.
6.7 In the event of a termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Article 6, the Fund and
the Underwriter shall promptly notify the Company in writing whether the Underwriter and the Fund
will continue to make Shares available after such termination; if the Underwriter and the Fund will
continue to make Shares so available, the provisions of this Agreement shall remain in effect
except for Section 6.1 and thereafter either the Fund, Underwriter or the Company may terminate the
Agreement as so continued pursuant to this Section 6.7 upon prior written notice to the other
parties, such notice to be for a period that is reasonable under the circumstances but need not be
greater than six months.
