In connection with the solicitation of applications for Contracts,
Broker is hereby authorized to offer riders that are available with
Contracts in accordance with instructions furnished by Distributor or
Company.
(2) During the term of this Agreement, Distributor shall notify Broker of
any action or circumstance that may prevent the lawful sale of

SEC of any stop order with respect to a Registration Statement or the
initiation of any proceedings for that purpose or for any other
purpose relating to the registration and/or offering of Public
Contracts.
(3) During the term of this Agreement, Distributor shall advise Broker of
any amendment to a Registration Statement or any amendment or
supplement to any Prospectus or Private Placement Memorandum.
C. Agreements of Broker
(1) It is understood and agreed that Broker is a registered broker/dealer
under the 1934 Act and a member of the NASD and that the agents or
representatives of Broker who may solicit applications for Contracts
shall be duly registered representatives of Broker. If an agent or
representative ceases to be a registered representative of Broker, is
disqualified from continued NASD registration, has his or her
registration suspended by the NASD or otherwise fails to comply with
the rules or meet the standards imposed by this Agreement or by
Broker, Broker shall immediately notify such agent or representative
and Distributor that such agent or representative is no longer
authorized to solicit applications for Contracts.
(2) Commencing at such time as Distributor and Broker shall agree upon,
Broker agrees to make commercially reasonable efforts to find
purchasers for Contracts acceptable to Company, provided that Broker:
(a) shall only offer a Private Contract to a person who (i) meets the
definition of accredited investor under the 1933 Act, and (ii)
meets the definition of qualified purchaser under the 1940 Act,
if Accounts are not subject to registration under the 1940 Act
pursuant to Section 3(c)(7) thereof; and
(b) shall not solicit applications for Private Contracts in any
manner that constitutes a public offering or involves any form of
general solicitation or general advertising.
(3) In making commercially reasonable efforts to solicit applications for
Contracts, Broker shall engage in the following activities during the
term of this Agreement:
(a) regularly utilize only training, sales and promotional materials
relating to Contracts which have been approved by Company;
(b) establish and implement reasonable procedures for periodic
inspection and supervision of sales practices of its agents or
representatives and submit periodic reports to Distributor as may
be requested on the results of such inspections and the
compliance with such procedures;
(c) take reasonable steps to ensure that the various representatives
appointed by it shall not make recommendations to an applicant to
purchase a Contract in the absence of reasonable grounds to
believe that the purchase of the Contract is suitable for such
applicant. While not limited to the following, a determination of
suitability shall be based on information furnished to a
representative after reasonable inquiry of such applicant
concerning the applicant's insurance and investment objectives,
financial situation and needs, and, if applicable, the likelihood
that the applicant will make the premium payments contemplated by
the Contract; and
(d) adopt, abide by, and enforce the principles set forth in the
Principles and Code of Ethical Market Conduct of the Insurance
Marketplace Standards Association as adopted by Company and
provided to Broker with this Agreement.
(4) All payments for Contracts collected by agents or representatives of
Broker shall be held at all times in a fiduciary capacity and shall
be remitted promptly in full together with such applications, forms
and other required documentation to an office of Company designated
by Distributor. Checks or money orders in payment of initial premiums
shall
Page 2 of 11

be drawn to the order of "Peoples Benefit Life Insurance Company".
Broker acknowledges that Company retains the ultimate right to
control the sale of Contracts and that Distributor or Company shall
have the unconditional right to reject, in whole or part, any
application for a Contract. In the event Company or Distributor
rejects an application, Company shall immediately return all payments
directly to the purchaser and Broker shall be notified of such
action. In the event that any purchaser of a Contract elects to
return such Contract pursuant to the free look right, the purchaser
shall receive a refund of either premium payments or the value of the
invested portion of such premiums as set forth in the Contract and
according to applicable state law. Broker shall be notified of any
such action.
(5) Broker shall act as an independent contractor, and nothing herein
contained shall constitute Broker, its agents or representatives, or
any employees thereof as employees of Company or Distributor in
connection with solicitation of applications for Contracts. Broker,
its agents or representatives, and its employees shall not hold
themselves out to be employees of Company or Distributor in this
connection or in any dealings with the public.
(6) Broker agrees that any material, including material it develops,
approves or uses for sales, training, explanatory or other purposes
in connection with the solicitation of applications for Contracts
hereunder (other than generic advertising materials which do not make
specific reference to Company or Contracts) shall only be used after
receiving the written consent of Distributor to such material and,
where appropriate, the endorsement of Company to be obtained by
Distributor.
(7) Solicitation and other activities by Broker shall be undertaken only
in accordance with applicable Company procedures and ethical
principles and applicable laws and regulations. No agent or
representative of Broker shall solicit applications for Contracts
until duly licensed and appointed by Company (such appointment not to
be unreasonably withheld by Company) as a life insurance and variable
contract broker or agent of Company in the appropriate states or
other jurisdictions. Broker shall ensure that such agents or
representatives fulfill any training requirements necessary to be
licensed and that such agents or representatives are properly
supervised and controlled pursuant to the rules and regulations of
the SEC and the NASD. Broker shall certify agents' and
representatives' qualifications to the satisfaction of Distributor.
Broker will provide Distributor with a General Recommendation of
Agents substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit "A" which
will apply to all agents or subagents proposed to be licensed and/or
appointed by the Company. Any documentation regarding the background
investigation of agents conducted by Broker prior to appointment
shall be made available as required upon valid request by any
regulatory authority during the period the agent is appointed with
the Company. Broker shall provide, from time to time as requested by
Distributor, copies of insurance licenses for all states in which
Broker holds the licenses and/or insurance licenses for any states in
which Broker's affiliated insurance agency holds the licenses. Broker
understands and acknowledges that neither it nor its agents or
representatives is authorized by Distributor or Company to give any
information or make any representation in connection with this
Agreement or the offering of Contracts other than those contained in
the Prospectus or Private Placement Memorandum, as the case may be,
or other solicitation material authorized in writing by Distributor
or Company.
(8) Broker shall not have authority on behalf of Distributor or Company
to: make, alter or discharge any Contract or other form; waive any
forfeiture; extend the time of paying any premium; receive any monies
or premiums due, or to become due, to Company, except as set forth in
Section C(4) of this Agreement. Broker shall not expend, nor contract
for the expenditure of the funds of Distributor, nor shall Broker
possess or exercise any authority on behalf of Distributor by this
Agreement.
(9) Broker shall have the responsibility for maintaining the records of
its representatives who are licensed, registered and otherwise
qualified to sell Contracts. Broker shall maintain such other
records as are required of it by applicable laws and regulations.
The books,
Page 3 of 11
4
accounts and records of Company, Accounts, Distributor and Broker
relating to the sale of Contracts shall be maintained so as to
clearly and accurately disclose the nature and details of the
transactions. All records maintained by Broker in connection with
this Agreement shall be the property of Company and shall be returned
to Company upon termination of this Agreement, free from any claims
or retention of rights by Broker. Nothing in this Section C(9) shall
be interpreted to prevent Broker from retaining copies of any such
records relating to contract owner transactions which Broker is
required to maintain in order to comply with applicable federal,
NASD, and state regulation. Broker shall keep confidential any
information obtained pursuant to this Agreement and shall disclose
such information only if Company has authorized such disclosure or if
such disclosure is expressly required by any regulatory authority or
court of competent jurisdiction. Broker acknowledges that information
regarding Contracts is proprietary information and that in connection
with the offer and sale of Contracts, Broker may be required to
execute confidentiality agreements with third parties. Broker
acknowledges and agrees that monetary damages would not be a
sufficient or adequate remedy for breach of the confidentiality
provisions of this Section C(9) and that Company or Distributor shall
be entitled to specific performance or injunctive relief, in addition
to any other legal or equitable remedy which may be available. The
confidentiality provisions of this Section C(9) shall survive the
termination of this Agreement.
D. Compensation
(1) Pursuant to the appropriate distribution agreement between
Distributor and Company, Distributor shall cause Company to arrange
for the payment of compensation for the sale of each Contract sold by
an agent or representative of Broker in accordance with Company's
agreement with the agent or representative, as the case may be, and
the commission schedule attached thereto. Such amounts shall be paid
to Broker, or if state insurance law requires, to an affiliated
insurance agency, provided, that with respect to payments to an
affiliated insurance agency, Broker:
(a) has obtained a letter from the SEC staff to the effect that the
staff will not recommend enforcement action if the affiliated
insurance agency is not registered as a broker-dealer with the
SEC; or
(b) has obtained from counsel an opinion, which shall be provided to
Distributor, that (i) Broker is entitled to rely on a no-action
letter issued by the SEC staff, a copy of which shall be provided
to Distributor, which granted no action relief to a broker-dealer
with respect to the distribution activities of the
broker-dealer's affiliated insurance agency when the insurance
agency was not registered as a broker-dealer with the SEC, and
(ii) such no-action letter has not been rescinded or modified.
All terms and conditions of Company's agreement with the agent or
representative, as the case may be, shall be incorporated by
reference herein to the extent such terms and conditions do not
conflict with this Agreement. Company shall identify to Broker with
each such payment the name of the agent or representative of Broker
who solicited each Contract covered by the payment.
(2) Neither Broker nor any of its agents or representatives shall have
any right to withhold or deduct any part of any premium it may
receive for purposes of payment of commission or otherwise. Neither
Broker nor any of its agents or representatives shall have an
interest in any compensation paid by Company to Distributor, now or
hereafter, in connection with the sale of Contracts hereunder.
E. Complaints and Investigations
(1) Broker and Distributor jointly agree to cooperate fully in any
insurance or securities regulatory investigation or proceeding or
judicial proceeding arising in connection with Contracts marketed
under this Agreement. Broker, upon receipt, shall notify Distributor
of any customer complaint or notice of any regulatory investigation
or proceeding or judicial proceeding in connection with Contracts.
Broker and Distributor further agree to cooperate fully in any
securities regulatory investigation or proceeding or judicial
proceeding with respect to Broker, Distributor, and their respective
affiliates, agents or
Page 4 of 11
5
representatives to the extent that such investigation or proceeding
is in connection with Contracts marketed under this Agreement. Broker
shall furnish applicable federal and state regulatory authorities
with any information or reports in connection with its services under
this Agreement which such authorities may request in order to
ascertain whether Company's operations are being conducted in a
manner consistent with any applicable law or regulation. Each party
shall bear its own costs and expenses of complying with any
regulatory requests, subject to any right of indemnification that may
be available pursuant to Section G of this Agreement.
(2) Broker shall report promptly in writing to Distributor all customer
complaints relating to offers and sales of Contracts or made by or on
behalf of owners of Contracts, whether written or oral, and shall
assist Distributor and Company in resolving those complaints to the
satisfaction of all parties.
F. Term of Agreement
(1) This Agreement shall continue in force for one year from its
effective date and thereafter shall automatically be renewed every
year for a further one year period; provided that any party may
unilaterally terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days' written
notice to the other parties of its intention to do so. This Agreement
shall automatically terminate without notice upon:
(a) the bankruptcy or dissolution of Broker;

Company, its policyholders or applicants;
(c) any material breaches by Broker of this Agreement;
(d) any material violation of any applicable state or federal law
and/or administrative regulation in a jurisdiction where Broker
transacts business; or
(e) any failure of Broker to maintain a necessary license in any
jurisdiction, but only as to that jurisdiction and only until
Broker reinstates its license in such jurisdiction.
(2) Upon termination of this Agreement, all authorizations, rights and
obligations shall cease except:
(a) the agreements contained in Sections C(9) and E hereof;
(b) the indemnity set forth in Section G hereof; and
(c) the obligations to settle accounts hereunder, including

the conditions of their offering.
G. Indemnity

out the provisions of this Agreement.
(2) Distributor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Broker and each
officer or director of Broker against any losses, claims, damages or

director may become subject under applicable law, insofar as such
losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect
thereof) arise out of or are based upon any allegedly untrue

case may be, or in any sales literature provided by Company or by
Distributor in order to make the statements contained therein not
misleading.

Page 5 of 11
6

liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based

agreement contained in this Agreement;

of its agents, employees, representatives or affiliates with
respect to this Agreement;

investigating or defending against any such losses, claims, damages
or liabilities or actions. This indemnity agreement shall be in
addition to any liability which Broker may otherwise have.
(4) Any request for indemnification against a party (the "Indemnitor")
arising out of a claim from a third party must be made in writing
within a reasonable time after notice of a claim or receipt of a
claim from a third party ("Claim") has been received by the party
seeking indemnification (the "Indemnitee"). At any time after such
request, Indemnitor may deliver to the Indemnitee its written
acknowledgment that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification. The
Indemnitor shall thereafter be entitled to assume the defense of the
Claim and shall bear all expenses associated therewith, including

notice of an Indemnitor's election to assume the defense of any
Claim, Indemnitee may defend itself against the Claim and may hire
counsel and other experts of its choice and Indemnitor shall be
liable for payment of counsel and other expert fees on a current
basis as the same are billed. Indemnitor and Indemnitee shall
cooperate with one another in the defense of any such Claim and if
either party becomes aware of any significant developments, it shall
