upon demand.
ARTICLE III. AGREEMENTS OF FBSI AND THE FIAs
1. FBSI represents and warrants that it is a broker-dealer duly
registered under the 1934 Act and a member of the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD").
2. Each FIA represents and warrants that it will not offer for sale or
sell any Contract in a jurisdiction unless it has first obtained in such
jurisdiction any required regulatory approvals and/or licenses to sell such
Contract.
3. FBSI and each FIA agree that they shall each be solely responsible for
carrying out their respective sales, administrative and supervisory
obligations under this Agreement, and that they will do so in material
compliance with all applicable federal and state laws and regulations.
4. FBSI and each FIA may engage in retail sales of Contracts. FBSI and
each FIA agree that they will not permit a registered representative of
FBSI or an agent of FIA to sell a Contract in a particular jurisdiction
unless such registered representative or agent is also (i) properly
insurance licensed, (ii) properly securities licensed, (iii) appointed as
an agent of FILI, and (iv) where required by law, a designated agent of an
FIA as is legally eligible to receive commissions in such jurisdiction.
FBSI shall use its best efforts to maintain its registration under the 1934
Act and shall use its best efforts to continue to be a member in good
standing of the NASD. Each FIA shall use its best efforts to maintain its
qualification as an insurance agency in each jurisdiction where it
currently maintains such qualification. FBSI shall be responsible for
ensuring that its registered representatives soliciting sales of the
Contracts pass all necessary NASD exams and obtain and maintain all
necessary NASD licenses. Each FIA shall be responsible for ensuring that
its agents obtain and maintain all necessary qualifications to maintain
such status, including continuing education requirements. If any
registered representative of FBSI or agent of any FIA fails to maintain the
required licenses and appointments or fails to meet the supervisory
standards imposed by FILI or the appropriate FIA, FBSI or such FIA shall
promptly notify FILI and shall advise such registered representative or
agent that he or she is no longer authorized to offer or sell the
Contracts. FBSI and such FIA shall immediately take all steps necessary to
ensure that such registered representative or agent ceases all sales
activity immediately. FBSI and each FIA shall investigate the business
reputation of all registered representatives offering the Contracts, and
their competence to sell the Contracts. FBSI and each FIA shall ensure
that its registered representatives or agents are adequately and diligently
trained, and shall be solely responsible for their supervision. FBSI and
each FIA shall establish any procedures necessary to ensure that all
required licenses, appointments and designations are maintained by its
registered representatives. Upon request by FILI or any FIA, FBSI or any
FIA shall furnish such records as are necessary to establish that the
foregoing requirements are being met. FBSI and the FIAs shall not engage
in servicing the Contracts. All service requests shall be directed to
FILI's Service Center in accordance with such procedures as FILI may adopt
from time to time. FBSI and each FIA shall ensure that retail sales of the
Contracts made by their registered representatives or agents are made only
where such sales constitute suitable purchases under all applicable
securities and insurance laws and regulations.
5. Each FIA agrees that it shall be fully responsible for ensuring that
no agent, representative, telephone salesperson or employee shall offer any
Contract on its behalf until such person is duly licensed and appointed by
FILI and appropriately licensed, registered or otherwise qualified to offer
and sell such Contract under federal securities laws, NASD rules and
regulations, and the insurance laws of each state or other jurisdiction in
which such person offers or intends to offer such Contract. FILI reserves
the right to refuse to appoint any proposed agent, or, once appointed, to
terminate such appointment.
6. FBSI and each FIA understand that the public offering of any Contract
will commence as soon as possible after the effective date of its
Registration Statement. Beginning at that time, and during the term of
this Agreement, each FIA agrees to use its best efforts to solicit
applications for the Contracts.
7. All Payments and application for Contracts sold by any FIA or their
agents, representatives, telephone sales persons or employees through
direct mail solicitation should be sent directly to FILI's Service Center.
To the extent that any FIA solicits applications for Contracts through an
agent or that Payments are incorrectly sent to an FIA rather than the
Service Center, all Payments received by FIA shall be remitted promptly in
full together with such application and such forms and other required
documentation to the Service Center. Checks or money orders in payment of
Payments shall be drawn to the order of "Fidelity Investments Life
Insurance Company." FILI shall have the unconditional right to reject, in
whole or in part, any application for any Contract. In the event an
application is rejected, the amount of the Payment received by FILI will be
returned directly to the purchaser and FILI will notify the affected FIA of
such action. In the event that a Contract is returned to FILI within the
applicable "free look" period, FILI will return to the purchaser the amount
required under the Contract and will notify the affected FIA of such
action. In the event that an FIA has received compensation based on any
Contract returned pursuant to its free look provision, such FIA agrees to
repay promptly such compensation to FILI. In the event that FBSI has
received compensation from any FIA based on any Contract returned pursuant
to its free look provision, FBSI agrees to repay promptly such compensation
to such FIA.
8. Each FIA shall, in soliciting applications for the Contracts, engage
in direct marketing of the Contracts using various means of communication.
Each FIA will provide telephone sales persons and such other personnel it
deems necessary to respond to inquiries from the general public regarding
the Variable Accounts, the Contract and the portfolios of the Funds
underlying the Variable Accounts. In connection with such marketing
efforts:
(a) Each FIA shall furnish, or shall cause to be furnished, to FILI, each
piece of sales literature or other promotional material in which FILI or a
Variable Account is named. No such material shall be used without the
prior written consent of FILI.
(b) Without the written consent of FILI, each FIA, its agents,
representatives, telephone salespersons or employees shall not give any
information, or make any representations on behalf of or concerning FILI, a
Variable Account, or a Contract, other than the information and
representations contained in a currently effective Registration Statement
(or post-effective amendment thereto) for a Contract, or in reports for the
Variable Accounts prepared for distribution to Contract owners, or in sales
literature or other promotional material approved in writing by FILI.
(c) FBSI, in accordance with its obligations under federal securities
laws and regulations, shall establish and implement reasonable procedures
acceptable to FILI for periodic inspection and ongoing supervision of sales
practices of agents, employees, telephone sales representatives and
representatives of each FIA, and, upon request, shall make available to
FILI periodic reports on the results of such inspections and compliance
with such procedures.
(d) In compliance with FILI's written rules and procedures and with
applicable rules and regulations of any governmental or other agency that
has jurisdiction over variable life insurance or variable annuity
activities, FBSI and each FIA are responsible for the training, supervision
and control of their agents, representatives, telephone salespersons and
other employees involved in the marketing program for the Contracts by each
FIA. FBSI and each FIA will also undertake to have duly licensed all
agents, representatives, telephone salespersons and employees of each FIA
who must be licensed pursuant to federal or state insurance and/or
securities laws in order to sell the Contracts.
(e) For purposes of this paragraph 7 and its subparagraphs and the
indemnification provisions in Articles V and VI hereof, the phrase "sales
literature or other promotional material" includes, but is not limited to,
advertisements (including material published, or designed for use in, a
newspaper, magazine, or other periodical, radio, television, telephone
script or sound recording, video display, signs or billboards, motion
pictures, or other public media), written communications distributed or
made generally available to customers or the public (including brochures,
circulars, research reports, market letters, form letters, seminar texts,
reprints or excerpts of any other advertisement, sales literature, or
published articles), education or training materials or other
communications distributed or made generally available to agents,
representatives, telephone salespersons or employees, and registration
statements, prospectuses, statements of additional information, shareholder
reports, proxy materials, applications for the Contracts and application
kits.
9. Each FIA shall act as an independent general agent, and nothing herein
contained shall constitute any FIA or its agents, representatives,
telephone salespersons or employees, as employees of FILI in connection
with the marketing program for the Contracts.
10. No FIA shall, directly or by means of its agents, representatives,
telephone salespersons or other employees offer, nor attempt to offer, nor
solicit applications for the Contracts or deliver Contracts in any state or
jurisdiction in which the Contracts may not legally be sold or offered for
sale.
11. Neither FBSI nor any FIA shall have authority on behalf of FILI to
(i) make, alter or discharge any Contract; or (ii) receive any monies or
Payments, except as set forth in Article III, Section 7 of this Agreement.
Neither FBSI nor any FIA shall expend, or contract for the expenditure of,
the funds of FILI nor shall FBSI nor any FIA possess or exercise any
authority on behalf of FILI other than that expressly conferred on FBSI or
FIA by this Agreement.
12. FBSI and each FIA agree to maintain appropriate books and records
concerning the variable annuity and variable life business transacted by
FBSI and each FIA under this Agreement as required by either (a) any
governmental authority (including without limitation the SEC, the NASD and
state insurance regulators) or (b) FILI. Such books and records shall be
the property of FILI and shall be made available to FILI at any time upon
its written request. FBSI and each FIA shall permit such governmental
authorities reasonable access to such books and records in connection with
any investigation or inquiry relating to this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated thereby. Without limiting the foregoing, FBSI shall be
responsible for confirming purchases and redemptions of units of FILI's
separate accounts by purchasers and/or owners of the contracts issued by
FILI. Such confirmations shall be the records of FBSI, even if located at
the offices of FILI, and if so located, shall be provided to FBSI
immediately upon demand. Similarly, all records showing the identity of
the person credited for any retail sale of the Contracts, whether
maintained at FBSI's offices, at FIA, Inc.'s offices, or at FILI's offices,
shall be the records of FBSI and, if located at FILI's offices or FIA,
Inc.'s offices, shall be the property of FBSI and shall be furnished to
FBSI immediately upon demand.
13. Each FIA shall pay the following expenses related to its distribution
of the Contracts: (i) expenses associated with the initial licensing and
training of its agents, representatives, telephone salespersons and
employees necessary for the marketing of the Contracts, (ii) the costs of
any advertisements and marketing materials which it develops for use in
connection with the marketing program for the Contracts. Any other
expenses incurred by FBSI, or an FIA, or the agents or employees of either
FBSI or such FIA for the purpose of carrying out the obligations of FBSI or
such FIA hereunder will be paid for by FBSI or such FIA.
ARTICLE IV. COMPENSATION

contract sold by a particular FIA, FILI shall pay such FIA, or its
designee, compensation consisting of two components: (a) first year
compensation equal to the lesser of (i) $50 per Contract and (ii) 2% of the
Payments received during the first Contract Year; and (b) each year, an
amount equal to .10% of the Contract Value. For each Contract that is an
IMMEDIATE ANNUITY contract, FILI shall pay such FIA compensation each year
of an amount not more than .10% of the reserves held to support the
Contracts.
2. For each Payment received by FILI as the result of the efforts of a
particular FIA utilizing only the FBSI branch system, such FIA shall pay to
FBSI compensation equal to 2.25% of the premium received by FILI. No sale
by any FIA shall be made through any person who is not properly registered
with the NASD as a registered representative of FBSI or another properly
licensed broker-dealer. If the sale is made through a combination of the
efforts of a FBSI Branch Representative and a telephone representative not
part of the FBSI Branch System, then such FIA shall pay to FBSI
compensation equal to 1.50% of the premium received by FILI.
ARTICLE V. INDEMNIFICATION BY FILI
1. FILI agrees to indemnify and hold harmless FBSI and each FIA against
any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities (including amounts paid in
settlement with the written consent of FILI) or litigation (including legal
and other expenses) to which FBSI or any FIA may become subject under any
statute, regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses,
claims damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) or
settlements are related to the sale of the Contracts and:
(a) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statements or alleged
untrue statements of any material fact contained in the Registration
Statement, Prospectus, Contracts or sales literature for the Contracts (or
any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing), 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 agreement to
indemnify shall not apply to FBSI or a particular FIA if such statement or
omission or such alleged statement or omission was made in reliance upon
and in conformity with information furnished to FILI by FBSI or such FIA
for use in the Registration Statement, Prospectus, Contracts or sales
literature for the Contracts (or any amendment or supplement) or otherwise
for use in connection with the sale of the Contracts; or

hereof.

summons or other first legal process giving information of the nature of
the claim shall have been served upon FBSI or such FIA (or after FBSI or
such FIA shall have received notice of such service on any designated

brought against FBSI or any FIA, FILI shall be entitled to participate, at
its own expense, in the defense of such action. FILI shall be entitled to

the summons or other first legal process giving information of the nature
of the claim shall have been served upon FILI (or after FILI shall have
received notice of such service on any designated agent), but failure to
notify FBSI and such FIA of any such claim shall not relieve FBSI and such
FIA from any liability which they may have to FILI otherwise than on
account of this indemnification provision. In case any such action is
brought against FILI, FBSI and such FIA shall be entitled to participate,
at their own expense, in the defense of such action. FBSI and such FIA
