NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of their mutual promises, the Company, the Fund and the Underwriter agree as follows:

ARTICLE I. Sale of Fund Shares

1.1 The Underwriter agrees to sell to the Company those shares of the Designated Portfolios which the Account orders, executing such orders on a daily basis at the net asset value next computed after receipt by the Fund or its designee of the order for the shares of the Designated Portfolios.

1.2 The Fund agrees to make shares of the Designated Portfolios available for purchase at the applicable net asset value per share by the Company and the Account on those days on which the Fund calculates its net asset value pursuant to rules of the SEC, and the Fund shall use its best efforts to calculate such net asset value on each day which the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board of Directors of the Fund (hereinafter the “Board”) may refuse to sell shares of any Designated Portfolio to any person, or suspend or terminate the offering of shares of any Designated Portfolio 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 their fiduciary duties under federal and any applicable state laws, necessary in the best interests of the shareholders of such Designated Portfolio.

1.3 The Fund and the Underwriter agree that shares of the Fund will be sold only to Participating Insurance Companies and their separate accounts. No shares of any Designated Portfolios will be sold to the general public. The Fund and the Underwriter will not sell Fund shares to any insurance company or separate account unless an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as Articles I, III and VII of this Agreement is in effect to govern such sales.

1.4 The Fund agrees to redeem, typically in cash, on the Company’s request, any full or fractional shares of the Designated Portfolios held by the Company, executing such requests on a daily basis at the net asset value next computed after receipt by the Fund or its designee of the request for redemption in accordance with Section 22(c) of the 1940 Act and the rules thereunder and the procedures and policies of the Fund as described in the then current prospectus, except that the Fund reserves the right to suspend the right of redemption or postpone the date of payment or satisfaction upon redemption consistent with Section 22(e) of the 1940 Act and any sales thereunder, and in accordance with the procedures and policies of the Fund as described in the then current prospectus.

1.5 For purposes of Sections 1.1 and 1.4, the Company shall be the designee of the Fund for receipt of purchase and redemption orders from the Account, and receipt by such designee shall constitute receipt by the Fund; provided that the Company receives the order by 4:00 p.m. Baltimore time and the Fund receives notice of such order by 9:30 a.m. Baltimore time on the next following Business Day. “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.

1.6 The Company agrees to purchase and redeem the shares of each Designated Portfolio offered by the then current prospectus of the Fund and in accordance with the provisions of such prospectus.

1.7 The Company shall pay for Fund shares one Business Day after receipt of an order to purchase Fund shares is made in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.5 hereof. Payment shall be in federal funds transmitted by wire by 3:00 p.m. Baltimore time. If payment in Federal Funds for any purchase is not received or is received by the Fund after the close of the Federal Reserve System on such Business Day, the Company shall promptly, upon the Fund’s request, reimburse the Fund for any charges, costs, fees, interest or other expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with any advances to, or borrowings or overdrafts by, the Fund, or any similar expenses incurred by the Fund, as a result of portfolio transactions effected by the Fund based upon such purchase request. For purposes of Section 2.9 and 2.10 hereof, upon receipt by the Fund of the federal funds so wired, such funds shall cease to be the responsibility of the Company and shall become the responsibility of the Fund.

1.8 Issuance and transfer of the Fund’s shares will be by book entry only. Stock certificates will not be issued to the Company or any Account. Shares ordered from the Fund will be recorded in an appropriate title for each Account or the appropriate subaccount of each Account.

1.9 The Fund shall furnish same day notice (by wire or telephone, followed by written confirmation) to the Company of any income, dividends or capital gain distributions payable on the Designated Portfolios’ shares. The Company hereby elects to receive all such income, dividends, and capital gain distributions as are payable on Designated Portfolio shares in additional shares of that

Portfolio. The Company reserves the right to revoke this election and to receive all such income dividends and capital gain distributions in cash. The Fund shall notify the Company of the number of shares so issued as payment of such dividends and distributions. Any error in the calculation or reporting of the Fund’s income, dividends or capital gains information shall be reported promptly to the Company. If the Fund provides the Company with incorrect income, dividend or distribution information, the matter shall be resolved as set forth in Schedule B.

1.10 The Fund shall make the net asset value per share for each Designated Portfolio available to the Company on a daily basis as soon as reasonably practical 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 6:30 p.m. Baltimore time. If the Fund’s net asset value is materially incorrect through no fault of the Company, the Company, on behalf of each Account, shall be entitled to an adjustment to the number of shares purchased or redeemed to reflect the correct net asset value in accordance with Fund procedures. Any error in the calculation or reporting of the Fund’s net asset value shall be reported promptly to the Company. If the Fund provides the Company with incorrect net asset value information, the matter shall be resolved as set forth in Schedule B. The Company shall have a duty to mitigate expenses relating to the error.

1.11 The Parties hereto acknowledge that the arrangement contemplated by this Agreement is not exclusive; the Fund’s shares may be sold to other insurance companies (subject to Section 1.3 and Article VI hereof) and the cash value of the Contracts may be invested in other investment companies.

ARTICLE VI. Diversification and Qualification

6.1 The Fund will invest the assets of each Designated Portfolio in such a manner as to ensure that the Contracts will be treated as annuity, endowment, or life insurance contracts, whichever is appropriate, under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and the regulations issued thereunder (or any successor provisions). Without limiting the scope of the foregoing, each Designated Portfolio of the Fund will comply with Section 817(h) of the Code and Treasury Regulation ['1.817-5], and any Treasury interpretations thereof, relating to the diversification requirements for variable annuity, endowment, or life insurance contracts, and any amendments or other modifications or successor provisions to such Section or Regulations. In the event of a breach of this Article VI by the Fund, it will take all reasonable steps (a) to notify the Company of such breach and (b) to adequately diversify the Fund so as to achieve compliance within the grace period afforded by Regulation 817.5.

6.2 The Fund represents that each Designated Portfolio is or will be qualified as a Regulated Investment Company under Subchapter M of the Code, and that it will make every effort to maintain such qualification (under Subchapter M or any successor or similar provisions) and that it will notify the Company immediately upon having a reasonable basis for believing that it has ceased to so qualify or that it might not so qualify in the future.

6.3 The Company represents that the Contracts are currently, and at the time of issuance shall be, treated as life insurance, endowment contracts, or annuity 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 Fund and the Underwriter immediately upon having a reasonable basis for believing the Contracts have ceased to be so treated or that they might not be so treated in the future. The Company agrees that any prospectus offering a contract that is a “modified endowment contract” as that term is defined in Section 7702A of the Code (or any successor or similar provision), shall identify such contract as a modified endowment contract.

ARTICLE VII. Potential Conflicts.

7.1 The Board will monitor the Fund for the existence of any material irreconcilable conflict between the interests of the contract owners of all separate accounts investing in the Fund. An irreconcilable material 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 Portfolio are being managed; (e) a difference in voting instructions given by variable annuity contract and variable life insurance contract owners; or (f) a decision by an insurer to disregard the voting instructions of contract owners. The Board shall promptly inform the Company if it determines that an irreconcilable material conflict exists and the implications thereof.

7.2. The Company will report any potential or existing conflicts of which it is aware to the Board. The Company will assist the Board in carrying out its responsibilities under the 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 the Company to inform the Board whenever Contract owner voting instructions are disregarded.

7.3 If it is determined by a majority of the Board, or a majority of its disinterested members, that a material irreconcilable conflict exists, the Company and other Participating Insurance Companies shall, at their expense and to the extent reasonably practicable (as determined by a majority of the disinterested Board members), take whatever steps are necessary to remedy or eliminate the irreconcilable material conflict, up to and including: (1), withdrawing the assets allocable to some or all of the separate accounts from the Fund or any Portfolio and reinvesting such assets in a different investment medium, including (but not limited to) another Portfolio of the Fund, or submitting the question whether such segregation should be implemented to a vote of all affected contract owners and, as appropriate, segregating the assets of any appropriate group (i.e., annuity contract owners, life insurance contract owners, or variable contract owners of one or more Participating Insurance Companies) that votes in favor of such segregation, or offering to the affected contract owners the option of making such a change; and (2), establishing a new registered management investment company or managed separate account.

7.4 If a material irreconcilable conflict arises because of a decision by the Company to disregard contract owner voting instructions and that decision represents a minority position or would preclude a majority vote, the Company may be required, at the Fund’s election, to withdraw the affected Account’s investment in the Fund and terminate this Agreement with respect to such Account 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. Any such withdrawal and termination must take place within six (6) months after the Fund gives written notice that this provision is being implemented, and until the end of that six month period the Fund shall continue to accept and implement orders by the Company for the purchase (and redemption) of shares of the Fund.

7.5 If a material irreconcilable conflict arises because a particular state insurance regulator’s decision applicable to the Company conflicts with the majority of other state regulators, then the Company will withdraw the affected Account’s investment in the Fund and terminate this Agreement with respect to such Account within six months after the Board informs the Company in writing that it has determined that such decision has created an irreconcilable material 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 month period, the Fund shall continue to accept and implement orders by the company for the purchase (and redemption) of shares of the Fund.

7.6 For purposes of Section 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 irreconcilable material conflict, but in no event will the Fund be required to establish a new funding medium for the Contracts. The Company shall not be required by Section 7.3 to establish a new funding medium for the Contract if an offer to do so has been declined by vote of a majority of Contract owners materially adversely affected by the irreconcilable material conflict. In the event that the Board determines that any proposed action does not adequately remedy any irreconcilable material conflict, then the Company will withdraw the Account’s investment in the Fund and terminate this Agreement within six (6) months after the Board informs the Company 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 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 Fund 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; and (b) Sections 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 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.

8.1(b).

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

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

8.2(b). The Underwriter shall not be liable under this indemnification provision with respect to any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or litigation to which an Indemnified Party would otherwise be subject by reason of such Indemnified Party’s willful misfeasance, bad faith, or gross negligence in the performance or such Indemnified Party’s duties or by reason of such Indemnified Party’s reckless disregard of obligations and duties under this Agreement or to the Company or the Account, whichever is applicable.

8.2(c). The Underwriter 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 Underwriter 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 Underwriter of any such claim shall not relieve the Underwriter 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.

SCHEDULE B
Contract Owner Losses Caused by Pricing, Income, Dividend
and Capital Gains Distribution Errors

Compensating Contract Owners for Losses Caused by Pricing, Income, Dividend and Capital Gains Distribution Errors. In the event the Fund provides a materially incorrect price for the Fund, or provides incorrect income, dividend or capital gains distribution information for the Fund, through no fault of the Company, the Underwriter will adjust the Account with the Fund on a net basis to correct the shares in the account. The materiality of an incorrect price will be determined with reference to applicable SEC guidance. If the Company adjusts the underlying Contract owners’ accounts, those accounts with gains shall be used to offset those accounts with losses, including those Contract owners who received underpaid distributions (“Contract owner Adjustments”). After the Contract owner Adjustments, the Company will identify those Contract owners who received distributions or made exchanges into other investment options during the time period affected by the incorrect price or the incorrect dividend or distribution information. The Company will then notify the Underwriter of the amount of losses suffered as a result of (i) for an overstated price or overstated income, dividend or capital gains distributions, Contract owners whose accounts had a loss that could not be offset by the overpayments (gains) made to Contract owners who took distributions; or (ii) for an understated price or understated dividends or distributions, Contract owners who received underpaid distributions that could not be offset by gains in other Contract owner accounts; or (iii) for exchanges into other investment options, Contract owners whose accounts had a loss due to the adjustment in the other investment option (caused by market fluctuation of the other investment option) and such loss cannot be offset by the gains received by Contract owners who exchanged into other investment options where such fluctuation caused a gain. Upon receipt of appropriate documentation verifying such losses, the Underwriter shall reimburse the Account with the appropriate number of additional shares. Should the Company fail to collect overpayments made to those Contract owners who received distributions with a gain, the Company agrees to subrogate its claim against such Contract owner to the Fund, the Underwriter or its affiliate. Any net gains calculated after Contract owner Adjustments will be returned by the Company to the Underwriter.

Compensating the Company for its Expenses Incurred as a Result of Pricing, Income, Dividend or Capital Gains Distribution Errors. Set forth below is the criteria that must be met before the Underwriter will reimburse the Company for expenses incurred due to pricing, income, dividend or capital gains distribution errors:

	•	The Company must provide a full accounting of expenses;

	•	A $10,000 cap will be imposed on each occurrence;

	•	Expenses may include payroll overtime, system fees, postage and stationery (if separate mailing is required);

B-2

	•	The Company must use its best efforts to mitigate all expenses which may be reimbursable; and

	•	Expenses and payroll overtime shall not include any time spent programming computers or otherwise customizing the Company’s systems to correct the error.
