ADL will, at all times when performing its functions and fulfilling its obligations as a broker-dealer under this Agreement, be duly registered as a broker-dealer under the 1934 Act and in each state or other jurisdiction in which MSC intends to perform its functions and fulfills its obligations as a broker- dealer hereunder and in which such registration is required, and be a member in good standing of the NASD.
(b) The Distributor warrants and represents that each of them is a licensed general agent in all states and jurisdictions in which it intends to do business as a general agent. The Distributor will, at all times when performing its functions and its obligations as a general agent under this Agreement, be duly licensed to sell the Products in each state or other jurisdiction in which it performs its functions and fulfill its obligations as a general agent hereunder.
§1.3 The Distributor shall at all times function as and be deemed to be an independent contractor and will be under no obligation to effectuate any particular number of sales of Products or to promote or make sales, except to the extent the Distributor deems advisable. ADL shall carry out all compliance and supervisory obligations in connection with its distribution of the Products, to the extent the same are securities, as required by the NASD Rules of Fair Practice (“NASD Rules”) and by federal and any applicable state or foreign securities laws. ADL will assume full responsibility for the oversight of securities activities of any person associated with ADL, as defined in Section 3(a)(18) of the 1934 Act, and engaged directly or indirectly in the distribution of the Products (“Associated Persons”), and shall have the authority to require that disciplinary action be taken with respect to the Associated Persons.
§1.4 The Distributor is hereby authorized to enter into written agreements (“Sales Agreements”) (a) with general agents to solicit applications for and service Products that are subject to insurance laws but not securities laws (“Traditional Products”) and (b) with broker-dealers and general agents jointly to solicit applications for and service Products that are subject to both securities and insurance laws (“Variable Products”). General agents and broker-dealers which are parties to Sales Agreements are hereinafter referred to as “General Agents” and “Broker-Dealers”, respectively. A Broker-Dealer may also be a General Agent. Sales

Agreements may authorize a General Agent and Broker-Dealer to distribution the Products on a wholesale or retail basis or both. All Sales Agreements shall be in the form thereof approved in advance by MONY Life America and MSC with such nonmaterial changes thereto as the General Agent and, if applicable, the Broker-Dealer may require. The Distributor shall not enter into any other form of Sales Agreement or notify or amend any Sales Agreement in any material respect without the prior written approval of MONY Life America and/or MSC in each case.

Each Third Party Broker Dealer and its registered representatives (“Registered Representatives”) soliciting applications for the Products shall be duly and appropriately licensed, registered and otherwise qualified for the sale of the Products under the NASD Rules and federal and state securities and insurance laws applicable to the offer and sale of the Products.

§1.6 The Distributor shall take reasonable steps to ensure that no Sales Representative shall recommend the purchase of a Product to any applicant in the absence of reasonable grounds to believe that the purchase of the Product is suitable for such applicant. While not limited to the following, a determination of suitability shall be based on information furnished to the Sales Representative after reasonable inquiry of such applicant (and any other information known about the applicant) concerning the applicant’s insurance and investment objectives and financial situation and needs, including the likelihood (depending upon the nature of the Product) that the applicant will make sufficient payments or retain the Product for a sufficient period of time to derive the benefits of the Product.

§1.8 The Distributor shall not possess or exercise any authority on behalf of MONY Life America or MSC other than that expressly conferred by this Agreement. In particular and without limiting the foregoing, the Distributor shall not, nor shall it authorize any Broker Dealer, General Agent or Sales Representative, to (i) modify or amend any Product in any respect or make, alter or discharge any contract or policy or other contract entered into pursuant to any such contract or policy; (ii) waive any contract or policy provision; (iii) extend the time for payment of any premiums; (iv) receive any monies in payment of premiums in respect of any contract or policy (except for the sole purpose of forwarding the same to MONY Life America); (v) make any representations concerning any of the terms, rates, charges or provisions of any contract or policy except as expressly authorized in writing by MONY Life America or MSC, (vi) agree to any private labeling of any Product or sell or distribute any Product under any name other than MONY Life America, (vii) enter into any reinsurance or coinsurance agreement or undertaking, or (viii) issue, modify or amend any regulations or procedures concerning the Products or the sale or distribution of the Products, without in each case first obtaining the prior consent of MONY Life America or MSC thereto.
§1.9 Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, MONY Life America and MSC shall retain the ultimate right of control over, and the responsibility for, the issuance, servicing and marketing of the Products, including the right to review and approve all advertising concerning the Products, to suspend sales of the Products in any jurisdiction or jurisdictions, to appoint and discharge its agents authorized to sell the Products, and to refuse to sell a Product to any applicant for any reason whatsoever.

(c) The foregoing indemnifications will be in addition to any liability which the Distributor may otherwise have.
§6.3 Promptly after receipt by a party entitled to indemnification (“Indemnified Party”) under this Article VI of notice of the commencement of any action, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any person obligated to provide indemnification under this Article VI (“Indemnifying Party”), such Indemnified Party will notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the commencement thereof, but the omission to so notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve it from any liability under this Article VI, except to the extent that the omission results in a failure of actual notice to the Indemnifying Party and such Indemnifying Party is damaged solely as a result of the failure to give such notice. In case any such action is brought against any Indemnified Party, and it notifies the Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled to participate therein, and, to the extent that it may wish to assume the defense thereof, with separate counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. Such participation shall not relieve such Indemnifying Party of the obligation to reimburse the Indemnified Party for reasonable legal and other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in defending itself, except for such expenses incurred after the Indemnifying Party has deposited funds sufficient to effect the settlement, with prejudice, of the claim in respect of which indemnity is sought. Any such Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to any such Indemnified Party on account of any settlement of any claim or action effected without the consent of such Indemnifying Party.
§6.4 The indemnity agreements contained in this Article VI shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of:
