WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, beneficial interests in the Fund are divided into several series of shares, each representing the interest in a particular managed portfolio of securities and other assets (the “Portfolios”);
WHEREAS, the Fund is registered as an open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (hereinafter the “1940 Act”) and its shares are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (hereinafter the “1933 Act”);
WHEREAS, the Company issues certain group variable annuity contracts and group funding agreements (the “Contracts”) in connection with retirement plans intended to meet the qualification requirements of Sections 401, 403(b) or 457 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”);
WHEREAS, each Separate Account is a duly organized, validly existing segregated asset account, established by resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company under the insurance laws of the State of Connecticut to set aside and invest assets attributable to the Contracts;
WHEREAS, M&I Investment Management Corp. (the “Adviser”) is the investment adviser of the Portfolios of the Fund and is duly registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”), and any applicable state securities laws;
WHEREAS, the Distributor is registered as a broker-dealer with the Securities and Exchange Commission (hereinafter the “SEC”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (hereinafter the “1934 Act”), and is a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (hereinafter the “NASD”);
WHEREAS, to the extent permitted by applicable insurance laws and regulations, the Company intends to purchase shares in the Portfolios set forth in Schedule A on behalf of each corresponding Separate Account set forth on such Schedule A to fund the Contracts and the Distributor is authorized to sell such shares to unit investment trusts such as the Separate Accounts at net asset value.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of their mutual promises, the Company, the Fund and the Distributor agree as follows:
ARTICLE I. Purchase and Redemption of Fund Shares.
1.1 The Fund agrees to sell to the Company those shares of the Portfolios for which the Company places purchase orders in proper form, as set forth in the then current prospectus of the applicable Portfolio, on behalf of any Separate Account, executing such orders on a daily basis at the net asset value next computed after receipt and acceptance by the Fund or its designee of such order. For purposes of this Section, the Company shall be the designee of the Fund for receipt of such orders from each Separate Account. Receipt by Company, as such designee, shall constitute receipt by the Fund; provided that the Fund or its designee receives notice of such order via the National Securities Clearing Corporation (the “NSCC”) by 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time on the next following Business Day. The Fund will receive all orders to purchase Portfolio shares using the NSCC’s Defined Contribution Clearance & Settlement (“DCC&S”) platform. The Fund will also provide the Company with account positions and activity data using the NSCC’s Networking platform. The Company shall pay for Portfolio shares by the scheduled close of federal funds transmissions on the same Business Day it places an order to purchase Portfolio shares in accordance with this Section using the NSCC’s Fund/SERV System. Payment shall be in federal funds transmitted by wire from the Fund’s designated Settling Bank to the NSCC. “Business Day” shall mean any day on which the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading and on which the Fund calculates its net asset value pursuant to the rules of the SEC. “Networking” shall mean the NSCC’s product that allows funds and companies to exchange account level information electronically. “Settling Bank” shall mean the entity appointed by the Fund to perform such settlement services on behalf of the Fund and agrees to abide by the NSCC’s Rules and Procedures insofar as they relate to the same day funds settlement.
If the Company is somehow prohibited from submitting purchase and settlement instructions to the Fund for Portfolio shares via the NSCC’s DCC&S platform, the following shall apply to this Section:
The Fund agrees to sell the Company those shares of the Portfolios for which the Company places purchase orders in proper form, as set forth in the then current prospectus of the applicable Portfolio, on behalf of any Separate Account, executing such orders on a daily basis at the net asset value next computed after receipt and acceptance by the Fund or its designee of such order. For purposes of this Section, the Company shall be the designee of the Fund for the receipt of such orders from the Separate Account and receipt by Company, as such designee, shall constitute receipt by the Fund; provided that the Fund or its designee receives notice of such order by 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time on the next following Business Day. The Company shall pay for Portfolio shares by the scheduled close of federal funds transmissions on the same Business Day it places an order to purchase Portfolio shares in accordance with this Section. Payment shall be in federal funds transmitted by wire to the Fund’s designated custodian. “Business Day” shall mean any day on which the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading and on which the Fund calculates it net asset value pursuant to the rules of the SEC.
1.2 The Fund agrees to make shares of the Portfolios available indefinitely for purchase at the applicable net asset value per share by the Company on Business Days; provided, however, that the Board of Directors, as applicable, of the Fund (hereinafter the “DIRECTORS”) may refuse to sell shares of any Portfolio to any person, or suspend or terminate the offering of shares of any Portfolio if such action is required by law or by regulatory authorities having jurisdiction or is, in the sole discretion of the Directors, acting in good faith and in compliance with their fiduciary duties under federal and any applicable state laws, necessary in the best interests of the shareholders of any Portfolio.
1.3 The Fund agrees to redeem for cash, upon the Company’s request, any full or fractional shares of the Fund held by the Company on behalf of a Separate Account, executing such requests on a daily basis at the net asset value next computed after receipt and acceptance by the Fund or its designee of the request for redemption. For purposes of this Section, the Company shall be the designee of the Fund for receipt of requests for redemption from each Separate Account and receipt by such designee shall constitute receipt by the Fund; provided the Fund receives notice of such request for redemption via the NSCC by 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time on the next following Business Day. The Fund will receive all orders to redeem Portfolio shares using the NSCC’s DCC&S platform. The Fund will also provide the Company with account positions and activity data using the NSCC’s Networking platform. Payment for Fund shares redeemed shall be made in accordance with this Section using the NSCC’s Fund/SERV System. Payment shall be in federal funds transmitted by the NSCC to the Separate Account’s Settling Bank as designated by the Company, on the same Business Day the Fund receives notice of the redemption order from the Company provided that the Fund receives notice by 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time on such Business Day.
If the Company is somehow prohibited from submitting redemption and settlement instructions to the Fund for Portfolio shares via the NSCC’s DCC&S platform, the following shall apply to this Section:
The Fund agrees to redeem for cash, upon the Company’s request, any full or fractional shares of the Fund held by the Company on behalf of a Separate Account, executing such requests on a daily basis at the net asset value next computed after receipt and acceptance by the Fund or its designee of the request for redemption. For purposes of this Section, the Company shall be the designee of the Fund for receipt of requests for redemption from each Separate Account and receipt by such designee shall constitute receipt by the Fund; provided the Fund receives notice of such request for redemption by 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time on the next following Business Day. Payment shall be in federal funds transmitted by wire to the Separate Account as designated by the Company, on the same Business Day the Fund receives notice of the redemption order from the Company provided that the Fund receives notice by 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time on such Business Day.
1.4 The Company will place separate orders to purchase or redeem shares of each Portfolio.
1.5 Issuance and transfer of the Fund’s shares will be by book entry only. Share certificates will not be issued to the Company or any Separate Account. Purchase and redemption orders for Fund shares will be recorded in an appropriate title by the Company for each Separate Account or the appropriate subaccount of each Separate Account.
1.6 The Fund shall furnish prior day and same day notice to the Company of any income, dividends or capital gain distributions payable on the Fund’s shares. The Company hereby elects to receive all such dividends and distributions as are payable on a Portfolio’s shares in the form of additional shares of that Portfolio. The Fund, or its designee, shall notify the Company of the number of shares so issued as payment of such dividends and distributions no later than one Business Day after issuance. The Company reserves the right to revoke this election and to receive in cash all such dividends and distributions declared after receipt of written notice of revocation by the Fund.
1.7 The Fund shall make the net asset value per share of each Portfolio available to the Company on a daily basis as soon as reasonably practical after the close of trading each Business Day, but in no event later than 6:45 p.m. Eastern time on such Business Day.
1.8 (a) If the Fund provides materially incorrect share net asset value information through no fault of the Company, the Separate Accounts shall be entitled to an adjustment with respect to the Series shares purchased or redeemed to reflect the correct net asset value per share in accordance with
the following sub-section 1.8(b).
(b) The determination of the materiality of any net asset value pricing error and its correction shall be based on the SEC’s recommended guidelines regarding these errors and the Fund’s then current policy. Any material error in the calculation or reporting of net asset value per share, dividend or capital gain information shall be reported promptly to the Company upon discovery. The Fund shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company against any amount the Company is legally required to pay Contract Owners, participants or beneficiaries that have selected a Portfolio as an investment option (“Contract Owners”), and which amount is due to the Fund’s or its agents’ material miscalculation and/or incorrect reporting of the daily net asset value, dividend rate or capital gains distribution rate. The Company shall submit an invoice to the Fund or its agents for such losses incurred as a result of the above which shall be payable within sixty (60) days of receipt. Should a material miscalculation by the Fund or its agents result in a gain to the Company, the Company shall immediately reimburse the Fund, the applicable Portfolios or its agents for any material losses incurred by the Fund, the applicable Portfolios or its agents as a result of the incorrect calculation. Should a material miscalculation by the Fund or its agents result in a gain for Contract Owners, the Company will consult with the Fund or its designee as to what reasonable efforts shall be made to recover the money and repay the Fund, the applicable Portfolio or its agents. The Company shall then make such reasonable effort, at the expense of the Fund or its agents, to recover the money and repay the Fund, the applicable Portfolios or its agents; but the Company shall not be obligated to take legal action against Contract Owners.
With respect to the material errors or omissions described above, this Section shall control over other indemnification provisions in this Agreement.

6.4. Indemnification Procedure
(a) Any person obligated to provide indemnification under this Article VI (“Indemnifying Party” for the purpose of this Section 6.4) shall not be liable under the indemnification
provisions of this Article VI with respect to any claim made against a party entitled to indemnification under this Article VI (“Indemnified Party” for the purpose of this Section 6.4) unless such Indemnified Party shall have notified the Indemnifying Party 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 party shall have received notice of such service on any designated agent), but failure to notify the Indemnifying Party of any such claim shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability which it may have to the Indemnified Party against whom such action is brought otherwise than on account of the indemnification provision of this Article VI. In case any such action is brought against the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled to participate, at its own expense, in the defense thereof. The Indemnifying Party also shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to the party named in the action. After notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of the Indemnifying Party’s election to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnified Party shall bear the fees and expenses of any additional counsel retained by the Indemnified Party, and the Indemnifying Party 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, unless:
(i) the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or
(ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them.
A successor by law of the parties to this Agreement shall be entitled to the benefits of the indemnification contained in this Article VI. The indemnification provisions contained in this Article VI shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
ARTICLE VII. Applicable Law
7.1 This Agreement shall be construed and the provisions hereof interpreted under and in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
7.2 This Agreement shall be subject to the provisions of the 1933, 1934 and 1940 Acts, and the rules and regulations and rulings thereunder, including such exemptions from those statutes, rules and regulations as the SEC may grant and the terms hereof shall be interpreted and construed in accordance therewith.

(“NASDR”), the SEC, the insurance commission of any state or any other regulatory body regarding the Company’s duties under this Agreement or related to the sale of the Contracts, the administration of the Contracts, the operation of the Separate Accounts, or the purchase of the Fund shares, which in the judgment of the Fund, the Distributor or the Adviser are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement; or
(d) at the option of the Company upon institution of formal proceedings against the Fund, the Distributor or the Adviser by the NASD, NASDR, the SEC, or any state securities or insurance department or any other regulatory body, related to the purchase or sale of the Fund shares or the operation of the Fund which in the judgment of the Company are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Distributor’s, the Fund’s or the Adviser’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement; or
(e) at the option of the Company if a Portfolio delineated in Schedule A ceases to qualify as a Regulated Investment Company under Subchapter M of the Code (a “RIC”), or under any successor or similar provision, and the disqualification is not cured within the period permitted for such cure, or if the Company reasonably believes that any such Portfolio may fail to so qualify and be unable to cure such disqualification within the period permitted for such cure; or
(f) at the option of any party to this Agreement, upon another party’s material breach of any provision of this Agreement; provided that the party not in breach shall give the party in breach notice of the breach and the party in breach does not cure such breach within 30 days of receipt of such notice of breach
(g) at the option of the Company, if the Company determines in its sole judgment exercised in good faith, that either the Fund, the Distributor or the Adviser has suffered a material adverse change in its business, operations or financial condition since the date of this Agreement or is the subject of material adverse publicity which is likely to have a material adverse impact upon the business and operations of the Company; or
(h) at the option of the Fund, the Distributor or the Adviser if the Fund, the Distributor or the Adviser, respectively, shall determine in its sole judgment exercised in good faith, that the Company has suffered a material adverse change in its business, operations or financial condition since the date of this Agreement or is the subject of material adverse publicity which is likely to have a material adverse impact upon the business and operations of the Fund or Distributor.

(b) In the event that any termination of this Agreement is based upon the provisions of Sections 8.1(g) or 8.1(h), prior written notice of the election to terminate this Agreement for cause shall be furnished by the party terminating this Agreement to the non-terminating parties. Such prior written
notice shall be given by the party terminating this Agreement to the non-terminating parties at least 60 days before the effective date of termination.

Specifically, without limitation, the owners of the Existing Contracts shall be permitted to direct reallocation of investments in the Fund, redeem investments in the Fund and/or invest in the Fund upon the making of additional purchase payments under the Existing Contracts unless such further sale of Fund shares is proscribed by law, regulation or an applicable regulatory body.
(b) Fund shall remain obligated to pay Company the fee in effect as of the date of termination for so long as shares are held by the Accounts and Company continues to provide services to the Accounts. Such fee shall apply to shares purchased both prior to and subsequent to the date of termination. This Agreement, or any provision thereof, shall survive the termination to the extent necessary for each party to perform its obligations with respect to shares for which a fee continues to be due subsequent to such termination.

Each Separate Account established by resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company under the insurance laws of the State of Connecticut to set aside and invest assets attributable to the Contracts.
Portfolios
BMO Funds A, I, Y, R3, and R6
SCHEDULE B
In consideration of the services provided by Hartford, the Distributor agrees to pay Hartford an amount equal to the following basis points per annum on the average aggregate amount invested by Hartford’s Separate Account(s) in each Fund under the Retail Fund Participation Agreement, such amounts to be paid within 30 days of the end of each calendar quarter.
Services to be Performed include:
(a) assist in processing customer purchase and redemption requests;
(b) answer customer inquiries regarding account status and history;
(c) assist customers in designating and changing account designations and addresses;
(d) provide periodic statements showing a customer’s account balances;
(e) furnish statements and confirmations of all purchases and redemption requests as may be required by applicable law;
(f) process customer purchase and redemption requests for Shares and placing purchase and redemption instructions with the Funds’ transfer agent; and

As of the June 30, 2017, the following Funds and Fund Shares are subject to the compensation payable before waivers to dealers or financial intermediaries pursuant to the Sales and Services Agreement. The Distributor shall not pay out shareholder services fees to a dealer or financial intermediary until the accrued, unpaid amount of shareholder services fees exceeds ten dollars ($10). Each Fund’ s Prospectus contains information regarding current waivers and shall control in case of any conflict with this Schedule.
For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to Contract Owners of Hartford Separate Accounts whose Class Y shares of a Fund were converted to Class A Shares on June 2, 2017, the Distributor will make Class A Shares available for additional purchase , exchange or redemption by such Contract Owners at net asset value without the imposition of front-end or contingent deferred sales charges, or any other transaction related charges (e.g., redemption fees, exchange fees and federal funds wire payment fees) for as long as the Contract Owner holds any class of shares of the Fund.
