All solicitation and sales activities engaged in by CCMC and its Representatives with respect to the Contracts shall be in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws and regulations, as well as all applicable insurance laws and regulations.

c. | SUITABILITY. CILAC and CCMC wish to ensure that the Contracts sold by CCMC will be issued to purchasers for whom the Contracts are suitable. CCMC shall require that the Representatives have reasonable grounds to believe that a recommendation to an applicant to purchase a Contract is suitable for that applicant. CCMC shall review all applications for suitability in accordance with NASD Conduct Rules, interpretations and guidance relating thereto. CILAC will review all applications under the suitability standards set forth in variable life insurance regulations adopted by states where the Contracts are sold, and standards adopted by CILAC or as set forth in its compliance and operational manuals. While not limited to the following, a determination of suitability shall be based on information furnished to a Representative after reasonable inquiry of the applicant concerning his or her financial status, retirement needs, reasons for purchasing a Contract, investment sophistication and experience, other securities holdings, investment objectives (including risk tolerance), investment time horizon and tax status. Should CCMC deem a proposed transaction unsuitable, CCMC shall inform CILAC of its decision and CILAC shall return the application and any accompanying premium payment. | ||
d. | REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF CCMC. CCMC represents and warrants to CILAC that CCMC is and during the term of this Agreement shall remain registered as a broker-dealer under the 1934 Act, admitted as a member with the NASD, and duly registered under applicable state securities laws, and the CCMC is and shall remain during the term of this Agreement in compliance with Section 9(a) of the 1940 Act. | ||

other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with, and any amounts paid in settlement of, any action, suit or proceeding or any claim asserted), to which CCMC and/or any such person may become subject, under any statute or regulation, any NASD rule or interpretation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities: |
(1) | arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, contained in any Registration Statement or in any Prospectus; provided that CILAC shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of, or is based upon, an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon information furnished in writing to CILAC by CCMC specifically for use in the preparation of any such Registration Statement or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto; | ||
(2) | result from any breach by CILAC of any provision of this Agreement. | ||
(3) | result from CILAC’s own misconduct or negligence. |
This indemnification agreement shall be in addition to any liability that CILAC may otherwise have; provided, however, that no person shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this provision if such loss, claim, damage or liability is due to the willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of duty by the person seeking indemnification. | |||
b. | BY CCMC. CCMC shall indemnify and hold harmless CILAC and any officer, director or employee of CILAC against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several (including any investigative, legal and other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with, and any amounts paid in settlement of, any action, suit or proceeding or any claim asserted), to which CILAC and/or any such person may become subject under any statute or regulation, any NASD rule or interpretation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities: |
(1) | arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, contained in any |
Registration Statement or in any Prospectus; in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon information furnished in writing by CCMC to CILAC specifically for use in the preparation of any such Registration Statement or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto; | |||
(2) | result from any breach by CCMC of any provision of this Agreement; | ||
(3) | result from CCMC’s own misconduct or negligence. |
This indemnification shall be in addition to any liability that CCMC may otherwise have; provided, however, that no person shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this provision if such loss, claim, damage or liability is due to the willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of duty by the person seeking indemnification. | |||
c. | GENERAL. Promptly after receipt of a party entitled to indemnification (“indemnified person”) under this Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action as to which a claim will be made against any person obligated to provide indemnification under this Section 8 (“indemnifying party”), such indemnified person shall notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof as soon as practicable thereafter, but failure to so notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which it may have to the indemnified person otherwise than on account of this Section 8. The indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in the defense of the indemnified person but such participation will not relieve such indemnifying party of the obligation to reimburse the indemnified person for reasonable legal and other expenses incurred by such indemnified person in defending himself or itself. | ||
The indemnification provisions contained in this Section 8 shall remain operative in full force and effect, regardless of any termination of this Agreement. A successor by law of CCMC or CILAC, as the case may be, shall be entitled to the benefits of the indemnification provisions contained in this Section 8. |
9. | TERMINATION. This Agreement shall terminate automatically if it is assigned by CCMC without the prior written consent of CILAC.

This Agreement may be terminated at the option of either party to this Agreement upon the other party’s material breach of any provision of this Agreement or of any representation or warranty made in this Agreement, unless |
such breach has been cured within ten (10) days after receipt of notice of breach from the non-breaching party.
