AMENDED AND RESTATED PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT

AMONG

MONY LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF AMERICA

AND

AXA DISTRIBUTORS, LLC

THIS AGREEMENT, made and entered into as of the 23^rd day of May 2012 by and among MONY LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF AMERICA, an Arizona insurance company (“MONY”), on its own behalf and on behalf of the separate accounts set forth on Schedule B hereto as may be amended from time to time (each an “Account”), AXA PREMIER VIP TRUST, a business trust organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (“Trust”) and AXA DISTRIBUTORS, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company(the “Distributor”).

WHEREAS, the Trust engages in business as an open-end management investment company and is available to act as the investment vehicle for the separate accounts (“Separate Accounts”) of both affiliated and unaffiliated life insurance companies (“Participating Insurance Companies”) in connection with the sale of variable life insurance policies, variable annuity contracts and certificates relating to such policies or contracts (“Variable Contracts”) and for tax qualified retirement plans (“Qualified Plans”) each of whom has entered into a participation agreement with the Trust and its Distributor; and

WHEREAS, the beneficial interests in the Trust are divided into series of shares (each a “Portfolio”), each representing the interest in a particular managed portfolio of securities and other assets, and each Portfolio is divided or may be divided into one or more classes of shares, i.e., currently the Class A, Class B and Class K shares, and such other classes of shares as may be created in the future (the “Classes”); and

WHEREAS, one or more Portfolios or Classes thereof may be made available by the Trust to serve as funding vehicles for Participating Insurance Companies and their Separate Accounts funding Variable Contracts; and

WHEREAS, the Trust is registered as an open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), and shares of its Portfolios are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“1933 Act”); and

WHEREAS, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) has granted 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 necessary to permit shares of the Trust and each of its Portfolios and Classes to be sold to and held by Separate Accounts funding Variable Contracts of Participating Insurance Companies and to Qualified Plans (“Shared Funding Exemptive Order”); and

WHEREAS, MONY has registered each Account as a unit investment trust under the 1940 Act, and has registered interests in the Account under the 1933 Act; and

WHEREAS, each Account is a duly organized, validly existing segregated asset account, established by resolution of the Board of Directors of MONY or through properly delegated authority, and divided into subaccounts, to set aside and invest assets attributable to the Variable Contracts issued by MONY (the “MONY Contracts”); and

WHEREAS, the Distributor is registered as a broker-dealer with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“1934 Act”), and is a member in good standing of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”); and

WHEREAS, to the extent permitted by applicable insurance laws and regulations, MONY intends to purchase shares in the Portfolios of all classes offered as listed on Schedule A hereto as may be amended from time to time (the “Designated Portfolios”) on behalf of each Account, in order to fund certain MONY Contracts currently outstanding and each Distributor is authorized to sell such shares to each Account at the net asset value applicable to such Portfolios and Class thereof.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of their mutual promises, MONY, the Trust and the Distributor agree as follows:

ARTICLE I. Sale of Trust Shares

1.1. The Distributor agrees to sell to each Account those shares of the Designated Portfolios and Class thereof for which it serves as the Trust’s principal underwriter and which the Account orders, executing such orders on a daily basis at the net asset value per share next computed after receipt by the Trust or its designee of the order for the shares of the Designated Portfolios and Class thereof. For purposes of this Section 1.1, MONY or its designee (but not the Account) shall be considered to be the designee of the Trust for receipt of such purchase orders and, in this regard only, receipt of such orders by MONY or its designee shall constitute receipt by the Trust for purposes of calculating each Portfolio’s net asset value per share, provided that: (i) MONY notifies the Trust of such purchase orders by no later than 10:00 a.m. Eastern time on the next Business Day, as defined in this Section 1.1, following the receipt by MONY of the purchase orders; and (ii) the purchase orders received by MONY are in good order prior to the time the net asset value of each Portfolio is calculated. “Business Day” shall mean any day on which the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading and on which the Trust calculates its net asset value pursuant to the rules of the SEC.

1.2. The Trust agrees to make its shares of the Designated Portfolios and Class thereof available for purchase by each Account at the applicable net asset value per share on those days on which the Trust calculates the net asset value per share of the Designated Portfolios and Class thereof pursuant to rules of the SEC. The Trust shall calculate the net asset value per share of the Designated Portfolios and Class thereof on each day on which the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board of Trustees of the Trust (“Board”) may refuse to sell shares of any Designated Portfolio or Class thereof to any person, or suspend or terminate the offering of shares of any Portfolio or Class thereof, if such action is required by law or by regulatory authorities having jurisdiction or is, in the sole discretion of the Board acting in good faith and in light of its fiduciary duties under federal and any applicable state laws, necessary in the best interests of the shareholders of such Portfolio or Class thereof.

1.3. The Trust and the Distributor agree that shares of the Designated Portfolios and Class thereof will be sold only to Participating Insurance Companies and/or their separate accounts funding Variable Contracts or to other persons or entities permitted under Section 817 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code”), or regulations promulgated thereunder. No shares of any Portfolio will be sold to the general public, except to the extent permitted under the Code and regulations promulgated thereunder.

1.4. The Trust and the Distributor will not sell Trust shares to any Participating Insurance Company or Separate Account funding Variable Contracts unless a Participation Agreement containing provisions substantially the same as Articles I, III, V, and VII and Section 2.4 of Article II of this Agreement is in effect to govern such sales. The Trust and the Distributor will not sell Trust shares in excess of 10% of the assets of the Trust to a Qualified Plan unless a Participation Agreement containing provisions substantially the same as Articles I, III, V and VII of this agreement are in effect to govern such sales.

1.5. The Trust agrees to redeem for cash, at the request of each Account or MONY or its designee, any full or fractional shares of the Trust held by the Account or MONY. The Trust will execute such requests on a daily basis at the net asset value per share of the Designated Portfolios and Class thereof next computed after receipt by the Trust or its designee of the request for redemption, without charge. For purposes of this Section 1.5, MONY or its designee (but not the Account) shall be considered the designee of the Trust for receipt of requests for redemption, and, in this regard only, receipt of such requests by MONY or its designee shall constitute receipt by the Trust for purposes of calculating each Portfolio’s net asset value per share, provided that: (i) MONY notifies the Trust of such redemption requests by no later than 10:00 a.m. Eastern time on the next Business Day, as defined in Section 1.1, following the receipt by MONY of the redemption requests; and (ii) such redemption requests received by MONY are in good order prior to the time the net asset value of each Portfolio is calculated.

1.6. MONY agrees that purchases and redemption of shares of the Designated Portfolios and Class thereof offered by a then-current prospectus of the Trust shall be made in accordance with the provisions of such prospectus, including, without limitation, the Trust’s policies and procedures regarding “market timing” and disruptive transfer activity. MONY agrees to use its best efforts and to cooperate with the Trust and the Distributor to enforce stated prospectus policies and procedures regarding transactions in shares of the Designated Portfolios and Class thereof, including those related to “market timing” and disruptive transfer activity.

1.7. MONY shall pay for shares of Designated Portfolios and Class thereof that are purchased for each Account in accordance with Section 1.1 hereof by no later than 1:00 p.m. Eastern time on the same Business Day on which notice of the purchase order for Trust shares is given to the Trust in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.1 hereof. The Trust shall pay redemption proceeds for shares that are redeemed in accordance with Section 1.5 hereof by no later than 1:00 p.m. Eastern time on the same Business Day on which notice of the redemption request is given to the Trust in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.5 hereof. Payment shall be in federal funds transmitted by wire. For purposes of Sections 2.10 and 2.11, upon receipt by the Trust of the federal funds so wired, such funds shall cease to be the responsibility of MONY and shall become the responsibility of the Trust; and upon receipt by MONY of federal funds so wired such funds shall cease to be the responsibility of the Trust and shall become the responsibility of MONY.

1.8. Issuance and transfer of the shares of the Designated Portfolios thereof will be by book entry only. Stock certificates will not be issued to MONY or the Account. Shares ordered from the Trust will be recorded in an appropriate title for the Account or the appropriate subaccount of the Account.

1.9. The Trust shall furnish same day notice to MONY or its designee (by wire or telephone, followed by written confirmation) of any income, dividends or capital gain distributions payable on the shares of the Designated Portfolios and Class thereof. MONY and each Account hereby elect to receive all such income, dividends and capital gain distributions as are payable on the shares of the Designated Portfolios and Class thereof in additional shares of the relevant Designated Portfolios and Class thereof. (MONY and the Account reserve the right to revoke this election and to receive all such income, dividends and capital gain distributions in cash.) The Trust shall provide notification by the end of the

next Business Day of the number of shares so issued as payment of such dividends and distributions. The Trust shall provide advance notice to MONY and the Account or their designee of any date on which the Trust reasonably expects to make a dividend distribution; normally this notice will be given at least ten (10) days in advance of the ex-dividend date.

1.10. The Trust shall make the net asset value per share for each Designated Portfolio and Class thereof available to MONY and the Account or their designee on each Business Day as soon as reasonably practicable 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 each Business Day. In the event that the Trust is unable to meet the 7:00 p.m. time stated herein, it shall provide additional time for MONY to place orders for the purchase and redemption of shares. Such additional time shall be equal to the additional time which the Trust takes to make the net asset value available to MONY. If the Trust provides materially incorrect share net asset value information, the Trust shall make an adjustment to the number of shares purchased or redeemed for the 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 upon discovery to MONY or its designee.

1.11. The Trust shall furnish written confirmation to MONY or its designee of the amount of shares traded and the associated cost per share (NAV), total trade amount and the outstanding share balances held by the Account in each Designated Portfolio as of the end of each Business Day. Such confirmation will be furnished by 1:00 p.m. eastern time on the next Business Day.

1.12. Each party to this Agreement shall have the right to rely on information or confirmations provided by any other party and shall not be liable in the event that an error results from incorrect information or confirmations supplied by any other party.

ARTICLE II. Representations and Warranties

2.1. MONY represents and warrants that: (a) it is an insurance company duly organized and in good standing under applicable law; (b) it has legally and validly established each Account, prior to any issuance or sale of interests therein, as a segregated asset account under applicable insurance laws; (c) it has registered each Account as a unit investment trust in accordance with the provisions of the 1940 Act to serve as a segregated investment account for the MONY Contracts; (d) it has registered interests in each Account under the 1933 Act; (e) the MONY Contracts will be issued and sold in compliance in all material respects with all applicable federal and state laws, including applicable anti-money laundering laws and regulations; and (f) the sale of the MONY Contracts will comply in all material respects with state insurance suitability requirements.

2.2. The Trust represents and warrants that Trust shares sold pursuant to this Agreement shall be: (a) registered under the 1933 Act; and (b) duly authorized for issuance; and (c) sold in compliance, in all material respects, with all applicable federal securities laws. The Trust further represents and warrants that it is and shall remain registered under the 1940 Act. The Trust shall amend its registration statement under the 1933 Act and the 1940 Act (the “Registration Statement”) from time to time as required in order to effect the continuous offering of shares of the Designated Portfolios and Class thereof. This requirement shall not, however, in any manner limit the Trust’s ability to cease offering shares in one or more of the Designated Portfolios or Class thereof, provided such action complies with applicable laws and regulations.

2.3. Subject to Article VI hereof, MONY represents that the MONY Contracts are currently treated as life insurance contracts under applicable provisions of the Code and that it will make every effort to maintain such treatment and that it will notify the Trust and the Distributor immediately upon having a reasonable basis for believing that the MONY Contracts have ceased to be so treated or that they might not be so treated in the future.

2.4. The Trust currently intends for two or more Classes, particularly Class A and Class B, to make payments to finance its distribution expenses pursuant to a Plan adopted under Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, although it may determine to discontinue such practice in the future. To the extent that any Class of the Trust finances its distribution expenses pursuant to a Plan adopted under Rule 12b-1, the Trust undertakes to have a Board, a majority of whose members are not interested persons of the Trust or the Distributor (or the then-current principal underwriter) or AXA Equitable Funds Management Group, LLC, as Investment Manager of the Trust, and to otherwise comply with any then current SEC and SEC staff interpretations concerning Rule 12b-1 or any successor provision.

2.5. The Trust makes no representation as to whether any aspect of its operations (including, but not limited to, fees and expenses and investment policies) complies with the insurance laws or regulations of the various states, except that the Trust represents that the investment objectives, policies, fees and expenses of each of the Designated Portfolios and Class thereof are and shall at all times remain in compliance with the insurance laws of the State of Arizona, and the Trust and the Distributor severally represent that their respective operations are and shall at all times remain in compliance, in all material respects, with the insurance laws of the State of Arizona to the extent required to perform their respective obligations under this Agreement.

2.6. The Distributor represents and warrants that: (a) it is a member in good standing of FINRA and (b) it is registered as a broker-dealer with the SEC and all necessary states. The Distributor further represents that it will sell and distribute the Trust’s shares in accordance with the laws of the State of Arizona and all applicable federal and state securities laws, including without limitation the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, the 1940 Act, and all applicable Rules of FINRA.

2.7. The Trust represents that it is lawfully organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of Delaware and that it does and will comply, in all material respects, with the 1940 Act.

2.8. The Trust and the Distributor severally represent and warrant that all of their trustees, directors, officers, employees, investment managers and investment advisers, and other individuals/entities dealing with the money and/or securities of the Trust are and shall continue to be at all times covered by a blanket fidelity bond or similar coverage for the benefit of the Trust in an amount not less than the minimal coverage required by Rule 17g-1 under the 1940 Act or such related provisions as may be promulgated from time to time. The aforesaid fidelity bond shall include coverage for larceny and embezzlement and shall be issued by a reputable bonding company.

2.9. MONY represents and warrants that all of its directors, officers, employees, and other individuals/entities dealing with the money and/or securities of the Trust are covered by a blanket fidelity bond or similar coverage. MONY represents and warrants that said fidelity bond is issued by a reputable bonding company, includes coverage for larceny and embezzlement, and is in an amount not less than $5 million. MONY agrees to make all reasonable efforts to see that this fidelity bond or another bond containing these provisions is continuously in effect and agrees to notify the Trust and the Distributor in the event that such coverage no longer applies.

ARTICLE III. Prospectuses and Proxy Statements’ Voting

3.1. The Trust or the Distributor shall provide MONY with as many printed copies of the Trust’s current Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information and any supplements thereto for the Designated Portfolios and Class thereof as MONY may reasonably request. In addition, with respect to prospectuses, supplements and Statements of Additional Information for the Designated Portfolios thereof provided by MONY to existing owners of MONY Contracts (“Contractowners”) in order to update information provided to existing Contractowners, the cost of preparing, printing, mailing and otherwise distributing such Prospectuses and Statements of Additional Information and any supplements thereto to MONY for its distribution to existing Contractowners shall be borne by the Trust. If requested by MONY, in lieu of providing MONY with printed copies of the Trust’s Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information and any supplement thereto, the Trust shall provide MONY with a final copy of the Trust’s current Prospectus or Statement of Additional Information or supplement in a form suitable for duplication either in paper form (a camera ready copy) or on diskette. The Trust and the Distributor shall also provide such other assistance as is reasonably necessary in order for MONY to have the Trust’s Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information or supplement printed for distribution to existing Contractowners.

MONY agrees to provide the Trust or its designee with such information as may be reasonably requested by the Trust to assure that the Trust’s expenses or the expenses of its Class shares do not include the cost of printing, mailing and otherwise distributing any Prospectuses, Statements of Additional Information or supplements thereto for the Designated Portfolios thereof other than those actually distributed to MONY for its distribution to existing Contractowners.

3.2. The Trust’s Prospectus for the Designated Portfolios and Class thereof shall state that the Statement of Additional Information for the Designated Portfolios and Class thereof is available from the Distributor (or in the Trust’s discretion, the Prospectus shall state that such Statement of Additional Information is available from the Trust).

3.3. The Trust, at its expense, shall provide MONY with copies of its proxy statements, Annual and Semi-Annual Reports to shareholders, and other communications to shareholders in such quantities as MONY shall reasonably require for its mailing or otherwise distributing such materials to existing Contractowners and the Trust shall assume all expenses associated with mailing or otherwise distributing those materials.

3.4. If and to the extent required by law, MONY shall:

(a) solicit voting instructions from Contractowners;

(b) vote the Trust shares for the Designated Portfolios and Class thereof in accordance with instructions received from Contractowners; and

(c) vote Trust shares for the Designated Portfolios and Class thereof for which no instructions have been received in the Account in the same proportion as Trust shares for the Designated Portfolios and Class thereof for which instructions have been received so long as and to the extent that the SEC continues to interpret the 1940 Act to require pass-through voting privileges for Contractowners. MONY reserves the right to vote Trust shares held in the Account in its own right, to the extent permitted by law. Participating Insurance Companies shall be responsible for assuring that each of their Separate Accounts participating in the Trust calculates voting privileges in a manner consistent with the standards adopted by the Board, which standards will be provided to all other Participating Insurance Companies.

3.5. The Trust will comply with all provisions of the 1940 Act requiring voting by shareholders, and in particular the Trust will comply with Section 16(c) of the 1940 Act as well as with Sections 16(a) and, if and when applicable, Section 16(b). Further, the Trust will act in accordance with the SEC or SEC staff’s written interpretation concerning the requirements of Section 16(a) with respect to periodic elections of Trustees and with whatever rules the SEC may promulgate with respect thereto.

ARTICLE IV. Sales Material and Information

4.1. MONY shall not give any information or make any representations or statements on behalf of the Trust or concerning the Trust in connection with its receipt of net premiums in connection with the MONY Contracts other than the information or representations contained in or accurately derived from the Registration Statement, Prospectus or Statement of Additional Information for the Trust, as such Registration Statement, Prospectus or Statement of Additional Information may be amended or supplemented from time to time, or in reports or proxy statements for the Trust, or in sales literature or other promotional material approved by the Trust or its designee, except with the permission of the Trust or its designees.

4.2. The Trust or the Distributor, or their respective designees, shall furnish, or shall cause to be furnished, to MONY or its designees, the form of each piece of sales literature or other promotional material in which MONY is named prior to its use. No such material shall be used if MONY or its designees reasonably object to its use after receipt of such material.

4.3. The Trust and the Distributor shall not give any information or make any representations on behalf of MONY or concerning MONY, the Account, or the MONY Contracts other than the information or representations contained in or accurately derived from published reports for the Account which are in the public domain or approved by MONY for distribution to Contractowners, except with the permission of MONY.

4.4. The Trust shall provide to MONY at least one complete copy of all Registration Statements, Prospectuses, Statements of Additional Information, reports, proxy statements, sales literature and other promotional materials, applications for exemptions, requests for no-action letters, and all amendments to any of the above, that relate to the Trust or its shares, contemporaneously with the filing of such document with the SEC, FINRA, or other regulatory authorities.

4.5. MONY shall provide to the Trust at least one complete copy of all reports, solicitations for voting instructions, sales literature and other promotional materials, applications for exemptions, requests for no-action letters, and all amendments to any of the above, that relate to the MONY Contracts or the Account if such document also relates to the Trust, contemporaneously with the filing of such document with the SEC, FINRA, or other regulatory authorities.

4.6. For purposes of this Article IV, the phrase “sales literature or other promotional material” includes, but is not limited to, any of the following that refer to the Trust or any affiliate of the Trust: advertisements (including materials published or designed for use in a newspaper, magazine, or other periodical, radio, television, telephone or tape or electronic recording, videotape display, signs or billboards, motion pictures, electronic messages or communications or other public media, including a publicly available internet address or website), sales literature (i.e., any written communication 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 article or internet site or website), educational or training materials or other communications distributed or made generally available to some or all agents or employees, and Registration Statements, Prospectuses, Statements of Additional Information, shareholder reports, and proxy materials. However, it is anticipated that materials provided solely: (a) internally to MONY’s or the Distributor’s own employees or counsel; or (b) to certain designated third parties and that are not designed to be provided or communicated in any manner to the general public (e.g., training materials provided to distributors or agents) will not be filed with the SEC, FINRA, or any state securities or insurance regulatory authorities, although such materials will be prepared in accordance with applicable laws.

ARTICLE V. Fees and Expenses

5.1. The Trust and the Distributor shall pay no fee or other compensation to MONY under this Agreement except for items covered in Article III. Nevertheless, the Distributor may make payments to MONY or to any principal underwriter for the MONY Contracts in amounts agreed to by the Distributor in any writing, and such payments by the Distributor may be made out of existing fees otherwise payable to the Distributor, past profits of the Distributor, or other resources available to the Distributor.

5.2. All expenses incident to performance by the Trust under this Agreement shall be paid by the Trust. Without limiting the foregoing, the Trust shall see to it that all shares are registered and authorized for issuance prior to their sale in accordance with applicable federal law, and shall bear all expenses with respect to: registration and qualification of the Trust’s shares; preparation and filing of the Trust’s Registration Statement, Prospectus, Statement of Additional Information, proxy materials, and reports; setting the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information in type; setting in type, printing, mailing or otherwise distributing prospectuses, proxy materials and Semi-Annual and Annual Reports sent by MONY to Contractowners (including the costs of setting in type, printing, mailing or otherwise distributing a prospectus that constitutes an Annual Report); the preparation of all statements and notices required by any federal or state law; and all taxes on the issuance or transfer of the Trust’s shares.

ARTICLE VI. Diversification

6.1. The Trust represents that: (a) the Trust currently has elected to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Code; (b) the Trust will maintain such qualification (under Subchapter M or any successor or similar provision); (c) the Trust will notify MONY immediately upon having a reasonable basis for believing that the Trust has ceased to so qualify or that it might not so qualify in the future; and (d) the Trust will seek to minimize any damages and to rectify the Trust’s failure to so qualify promptly. The Trust acknowledges that any failure by the Trust to qualify as a regulated investment company will eliminate the ability of the Account to avail itself of the “look through” provisions of Section 817(h) of the Code and that, as a result, the MONY Contracts will almost certainly fail to qualify as life insurance contracts under Section 817(h) of the Code.

6.2. The Trust further represents that the Trust will at all times invest money from the Account in such a manner as to assure that the MONY Contracts will be treated as variable life insurance contracts under the Code and the regulations issued thereunder. Without limiting the scope of the foregoing, the Trust represents that the Trust will at all times comply with Section 817(h) of the Code and Treasury Regulation 1.817-5, relating to the diversification requirements for variable annuity, endowment, or life insurance contracts, and any amendments or other modifications to such Section or Regulations. In the event of a breach of this Article VI by the Trust, the Trust warrants that it will take all reasonable steps: (a) to immediately notify MONY of such breach; and (b) to adequately diversify the Trust’s assets so as to achieve compliance within the grace period afforded by Regulation 1.817-5.

ARTICLE VII. Potential Conflicts

7.1. The Board will monitor the Trust for the existence of any material irreconcilable conflict between the interests of the contractowners of all variable annuity and variable life insurance separate accounts and Qualified Plan participants investing in the Trust. A material irreconcilable 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 Designated Portfolio are being managed; (e) a difference in voting instructions given by owners of Variable Contracts; or (f) a decision by an insurer to disregard the voting instructions of owners of Variable contracts. The Board shall promptly inform MONY if it determines that a material irreconcilable conflict exists and the implications thereof.

7.2. MONY will report any potential or existing conflicts of which it is aware to the Board. MONY will assist the Board in carrying out its responsibilities under any Shared Funding Exemptive Order, by providing the Board with all information reasonably necessary for the Board to consider any issues raised. This includes, but is not limited to, an obligation by MONY to inform the Board whenever the voting instructions of owners of Variable Contracts are disregarded. Upon the written request of the Trust, MONY will also provide to the Board, not more frequently than annually, a written certification in a format to be determined by mutual agreement of the Trust and MONY, as to its best knowledge of any events that may result in a material irreconcilable conflict. MONY’s responsibilities under this Section 7.2 will be carried out with a view only to the interests of its Contractowners.

7.3. If it is determined by a majority of the Board, or a majority of its disinterested Trustees, that a material irreconcilable conflict exists, MONY and other Participating Insurance Companies and Qualified Plans shall, at their expense and to the extent reasonably practicable (as determined by a majority of the disinterested Trustees), take whatever steps are necessary to remedy or eliminate the material irreconcilable conflict, up to and including: (a) withdrawing the assets allocable to some or all of the variable annuity and variable life insurance separate accounts from the Trust or any Portfolio and reinvesting such assets in a different investment medium, including (but not limited to) another Portfolio of the Trust, or submitting the question of whether such withdrawal should be implemented to a vote of all affected owners of Variable Contracts and, as appropriate, withdrawing the assets of any appropriate group (i. e., owners of variable annuity contracts or owners of variable life insurance contracts of one or more Participating Insurance Companies) that votes in favor of such withdrawal, or offering to the affected owners of Variable Contracts the option of making such a change; and (b) establishing a new registered management investment company or managed separate account. MONY’s responsibilities under this Section 7.3 will be carried out with a view only to the interests of Contractowners.

7.4. If a material irreconcilable conflict ever were to arise because of a decision by MONY to disregard Contractowner voting instructions and that decision represents a minority position or would preclude a majority vote, MONY may be required, at the Trust’s election, to withdraw the affected Account’s (or subaccount’s) investment in the Trust and terminate this Agreement with respect to such Account (or subaccount); 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 members of the Board. No charge or penalty shall be imposed as a result of such withdrawal. Any such withdrawal and termination must take place within six (6) months after the Trust gives written notice that this provision is being implemented and, until the end of that six (6) month period, the Distributor and Trust shall continue to accept and implement orders by MONY for the purchase (and redemption) of shares of the Trust.

7.5. If a material irreconcilable conflict were ever to arise because a particular state insurance regulator’s decision applicable to MONY conflicts with the majority of other state regulators, then MONY shall withdraw the affected Account’s (or subaccount’s) investment in the Trust and terminate this Agreement with respect to such Account (or subaccount) within six (6) months after the Board informs MONY in writing that it has determined that such decision has created a material irreconcilable 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 members of the Board. Until the end of the foregoing six (6) month period, the Distributor and Trust shall continue to accept and implement orders by MONY for the purchase (and redemption) of shares of the Trust.

7.6. For purposes of Sections 7.3 through 7.6 of this Agreement, a majority of the disinterested members of the Board shall determine whether any proposed action adequately remedies any material irreconcilable conflict, but in no event will the Trust be required to establish a new funding medium for the MONY Contracts. MONY shall not be required by Section 7.3 to establish a new funding medium for the MONY Contracts if an offer to do so has been declined by vote of a majority of Contractowners materially adversely affected by the material irreconcilable conflict. In the event that the Board determines that any proposed action does not adequately remedy any material irreconcilable conflict, then MONY will withdraw the Account’s (or subaccount’s) investment in the Trust and terminate this Agreement within six (6) months after the Board informs MONY 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 members of the Board.

7.7. If and to the extent that 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 Shared Funding Exemptive Order) on terms and conditions materially different from those contained in the Shared Funding Exemptive Order, then: (a) the Trust and/or the Participating Insurance Companies, as appropriate, shall take such steps as may be necessary 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; (b) Sections 3.4, 3.5, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, and 7.5 of this Agreement shall continue in effect only to the extent that terms and conditions substantially identical to such Sections are contained in such Rule(s) as so amended or adopted; and (c) this Agreement shall be otherwise amended by the Trust, without the need for any consent of the other parties, as required by such change in law.

MONY agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Trust, each member of the Board of the Trust, the Distributor, and the directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls any such person within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties” for purposes of this Section 8.1) against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities (including, without limitation thereto, amounts paid in settlement with the written consent of MONY), investigation of claims or litigation (including, without limitation thereto, legal and other expenses), to which the Indemnified Parties 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 or acquisition of the Trust’s shares or the MONY Contracts or interests in the Account and:

(i) arise out of or as a result of statements or representations (other than statements or representations contained in the Registration Statement, Prospectus or Statement of Additional Information, or sales literature of the Trust not supplied by MONY or persons under its control) or wrongful conduct of MONY or persons under its control, with respect to the sale or distribution of Trust shares; or

(ii) arise out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a Registration Statement, Prospectus, or Statement of Additional Information, or sales literature of the Trust or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading if such a statement or omission was made in reliance upon written information furnished to the Trust by or on behalf of MONY; or

(iii) arise as a result of any failure by MONY to provide the services and furnish the materials required to be provided or furnished by it under the terms of this Agreement; or

(iv) arise out of or result from any material breach of any representation and/or warranty made by MONY in this Agreement or arise out of or result from any other material breach of this Agreement by MONY;

as limited by and in accordance with the provisions of Sections 8.1 (b) and 8.1 (c) hereof.

8.1(b). MONY shall not be liable under this indemnification provision with respect to any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or litigation incurred or assessed against an Indemnified Party as such may arise 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 or to the Trust, whichever is applicable.

8.1(c). MONY shall not be liable under this indemnification provision with respect to any claim made against an Indemnified Party unless such Indemnified Party shall have notified MONY in writing within a reasonable time after the summons or other first legal process giving information of the nature of the claim shall have been served upon such Indemnified Party (or after such Indemnified Party shall have received notice of such service on any designated agent), but failure to notify MONY of any such claim shall not relieve MONY from any liability which it may have to the Indemnified Party against whom such action is brought otherwise than on account of this indemnification provision. In case any such action is brought against the Indemnified Parties, MONY shall be entitled to participate, at its own expense, in the defense of such action. MONY also shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the party named in the action and to settle the claim at its own expense provided that, unless the Indemnified Parties’ written consent is obtained, (1) no such settlement shall include any factual stipulations referring to the Indemnified Parties or their conduct and (2) any such settlement must involve a complete and unconditional release of all claims against such Indemnified Parties. After notice from MONY to such party of MONY’s election to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnified Party shall bear the fees and expenses of any additional counsel retained by it, and MONY will not be liable to such 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.

8.1(d). The Indemnified Parties shall promptly notify MONY of the commencement of any litigation or proceedings against them in connection with the issuance or sale of the Trust’s shares or the operation of the Trust.

8.2. Indemnification by the Distributor

The Distributor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless MONY, the principal underwriter for the MONY Contracts and the Trust and each of their directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls MONY within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties” for purposes of this Section 8.2) against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities (including, without limitation thereto, amounts paid in settlement with the written consent of the Distributor), investigation of claims or litigation (including, without limitation thereto, legal and other expenses) to which the Indemnified Parties 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 or acquisition of the Trust’s shares or the MONY Contracts or interests in the Account and:

(i) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, Prospectus or Statement of Additional Information, or sales literature of the Trust (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 as to any Indemnified Party if such statement or omission or such alleged statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Distributor or Trust by or on behalf of MONY for use in the Registration Statement, Prospectus, or Statement of Additional Information for the Trust, or otherwise for use in connection with the sale of the MONY Contracts or Trust shares; or

(ii) arise out of or as a result of statements or representations (other than statements or representations contained in the Registration Statement, Prospectus, or Statement of Additional Information for the MONY Contracts not supplied by the Trust, the Distributor or persons under their control) or wrongful conduct of the Trust or the Distributor or persons under their control, with respect to the sale or distribution of the Trust shares; or

(iii) arise out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a Registration Statement, Prospectus, Statement of Additional Information covering the MONY Contracts, or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statement or statements therein not misleading, if such statement or omission was made in reliance upon information furnished in writing to MONY by or on behalf of the Trust or the Distributor; or

(iv) arise as a result of any failure by the Distributor or the Trust to provide the services and furnish the materials required to be provided or furnished by the Distributor or the Trust under the terms of this Agreement (including a failure, whether unintentional or in good faith or otherwise, to comply with the diversification or other qualification requirements specified in Article VI of this Agreement); or

(v) arise out of or result from any material breach of any representation and/or warranty made by the Distributor in this Agreement or arise out of or result from any other material breach of this Agreement by the Distributor;

as limited by and in accordance with the provisions of Sections 8.2(b) and 8.2(c) hereof.

8.2(b). The Distributor shall not be liable under this indemnification provision with respect to any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or litigation incurred or assessed against an Indemnified Party as such may arise 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 and duties under this Agreement or to MONY or the Account, whichever is applicable.

8.2(c). The Distributor shall not be liable under this indemnification provision with respect to any claim made against an Indemnified Party unless such Indemnified Party shall have notified the Distributor in writing within a reasonable time after the summons or other first legal process giving information of the nature of the claim shall have been served upon such Indemnified Party (or after such Indemnified Party shall have received notice of such service on any designated agent), but failure to notify the Distributor of any such claim shall not relieve the Distributor from any liability which either of them or both may have to the Indemnified Party against whom such action is brought otherwise than on account of this indemnification provision. In case any such action is brought against the Indemnified Parties, the Distributor will be entitled to participate, at its own expense, in the defense thereof. The Distributor also shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the party named in the action, and to settle the claim at its own expense provided that, unless the Indemnified Parties’ written consent is obtained, (1) no such settlement shall include any factual stipulations referring to the Indemnified Parties or their conduct and (2) any such settlement must involve a complete and unconditional release of all claims against such Indemnified Parties. After notice from the Distributor to such party of the Distributor’s election to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnified Party shall bear the fees and expenses of any additional counsel retained by it, and the Distributor will not be liable to such 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.

8.2(d). MONY agrees promptly to notify the Distributor of the commencement of any material litigation or proceedings against it or any of its officers or directors in connection with the issuance or sale of the MONY Contracts or the operation of the Account.

8.3. Indemnification By the Trust

8.3(a). The Trust agrees to indemnify and hold harmless MONY, the principal underwriter for the MONY Contracts and each of their directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls MONY within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties” for purposes of this Section 8.3) against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities (including, without limitation thereto, amounts paid in settlement with the written consent of the Trust), investigation of claims or litigation (including, without limitation thereto, legal and other expenses) to which the Indemnified Parties 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 operations of the Trust and:

(i) arise as a result of any failure by the Trust to provide the services and furnish the materials required to be provided or furnished by it under the terms of this Agreement (including a failure to comply with the diversification and other qualification requirements specified in Article VI of this Agreement); or

(ii) arise out of or result from any material breach of any representation and/or warranty made by the Trust in this Agreement or arise out of or result from any other material breach of this Agreement by the Trust;

8.3(c). The Trust shall not be liable under this indemnification provision with respect to any claim made against an Indemnified Party unless such Indemnified Party shall have notified the Trust in writing within a reasonable time after the summons or other first legal process giving information of the nature of the claim shall have been served upon such Indemnified Party (or after such Indemnified Party shall have received notice of such service on any designated agent), but failure to notify the Trust of any such claim shall not relieve the Trust from any liability which it may have to the Indemnified Party against whom such action is brought otherwise than on account of this indemnification provision. In case any such action is brought against the Indemnified Parties, the Trust will be entitled to participate, at its own expense, in the defense thereof. The Trust also shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the party named in the action. After notice from the Trust to such party of the Trust’s election to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnified Party shall bear the fees and expenses of any additional counsel retained by it, and the Trust will not be liable to such 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.

(b)

termination by MONY upon thirty (30) days written notice to the Trust and the Distributor with respect to any Designated Portfolio and Class based upon MONY’s determination that shares of such Designated Portfolio are not reasonably available to meet the requirements of the MONY Contracts or are not consistent with MONY’s obligations to Contractowners; or

(e)

termination by either the Trust or the Distributor by written notice to MONY, if the Trust or the Distributor shall determine, in their sole judgment, exercised in good faith, that MONY and/or its affiliated companies have suffered a material adverse change in their business, operations, financial condition, or prospects since the date of this Agreement or are the subject of material adverse publicity; but no termination shall be effective under this subsection (e) until MONY has been afforded a reasonable opportunity to respond to a statement by the Trust or the Distributor concerning the reason for notice of termination hereunder; or

(f)

MONY shall give thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Trust and the Distributor of the date of any proposed vote or other action taken to replace the Designated Portfolio shares.

10.2. Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, the Trust and the Distributor shall, at the option of MONY, continue to make available additional shares of the Trust pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, for all MONY Contracts in effect on the effective date of termination of this Agreement (hereinafter referred to as “Existing MONY Contracts”).

Upon request, MONY shall promptly furnish to the Trust and the Distributor the opinion of counsel for MONY (which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Trust and the Distributor) to the effect that any redemption pursuant to clause (b) above is a Legally Required Redemption or any redemption pursuant to clause (b) is permitted without first obtaining an order of the SEC pursuant to Section 26(b) or any other provision of the 1940 Act. Furthermore, except in cases where permitted under the terms of the MONY Contracts, and as may be in the best interests of Contractowners, as determined by MONY, MONY shall not prevent Contractowners from allocating payments to a Designated Portfolio that was otherwise available under the MONY Contracts without first giving the Trust or the Distributor ninety (90) days’ notice of its intention to do so.

10.4. Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement for any reason, the terms and conditions of the following provisions of this Agreement shall remain in effect with respect to any Existing MONY Contract, for so long as any assets invested in the Trust are attributable to such Existing MONY Contract: Sections 1.3 to 1.10 of Article I (governing the pricing and redemption of shares); Article II (Representations and Warranties); Sections 3.1 through 3.3 and 3.5 of Article III (Prospectuses and Proxy Statements, and Voting); Articles IV through IX (Sales Material and Information; Fees and Expenses; Diversification; Potential Conflicts; Indemnification; and Applicable Law); Article XI (Notices); and Sections 12.1, 12.2, and 12.5 through 12.8 of Article XII (Miscellaneous).
