AGREEMENT
---------
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of their mutual promises herein
contained and other good and valuable consideration, the parties agree as
follows:
ARTICLE I. Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares
--------------------------------
1.1. The Fund agrees to sell those shares of each Portfolio which each
Account orders, executing such orders on a daily basis at the Net Asset Value
(as hereafter defined) next computed after receipt by the Fund, or its designee
(hereinafter, the "Processing Agent"), of the order for the shares of such
Portfolio. For purposes of this Section 1.1, the Variable Products Operations
Unit of the Company located in Albany, New York shall be the Processing Agent
for receipt of such orders from each Account and receipt by the Processing Agent
shall constitute receipt by the Fund thereof. No orders for the purchase and
redemption of Fund shares, whether or not in good order (as such term is defined
in Registration Statements (as hereafter defined)), on behalf of the Accounts
will be accepted by the Processing Agent, or its duly appointed designees, after
4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Stated otherwise, only orders accepted by the Processing
Agent, or its duly appointed designees, before 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time will be
priced using the net asset value (hereinafter, the "NAV") next computed for that
Business Day. The Processing Agent shall provide notice of such orders by 8:30
p.m. Eastern time on the next following Business Day (as hereafter defined). The
Fund, acting by and through its designated agents and/or committee(s), shall
provide the Processing Agent with the NAV for each Portfolio. The Fund shall
make the NAV per share for each Portfolio available to the Processing Agent on
each Business Day (as hereafter defined) as soon as reasonably practical after
the net asset value per share is ca1culated (normally by 6:30 p.m. Eastern time)
and shall use its best efforts to make such NAV per share available by 7 p.m.
Eastern time. The Company shall then calculate multiple accumulation unit values
("AUVs") based on each Portfolio's NAV. Purchase and redemption orders in each
Portfolio will be aggregated to arrive at the net amount of Account units to be
either issued or redeemed and corresponding Portfolio shares to be purchased or
sold. Not later than 9:00 a.m. Eastern time on the next following Business Day
2
after receipt of each order, the Processing Agent shall aggregate all purchases
and redemptions into and from each Portfolio, transmit a net purchase or
redemption order to the Fund and (a) in the event that the net sum is a positive
number, wire immediately available funds equal to the net amount of purchases of
such Portfolio to the custodian designated in the Registration Statement or (b)
if the net sum is a negative number, request that the appropriate custodian wire
the appropriate amount of proceeds to the Company. The Processing Agent may
engage the services of such sub-agents from time-to-time, as it may deem
reasonable and appropriate. The Processing Agent shall, on behalf of itself and
any and all such sub-agents, certify in such form as the Fund (or its duly
authorized officers) shall reasonably request as to compliance with the
processing and trading procedures described in this Section 1.1. For the
purposes hereof, a "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 Securities and Exchange Commission
(hereinafter, the "SEC"), as amended from time to time, subject to such terms
and conditions as may be set forth in the registration statement for the Fund as
filed with the SEC, as the same shall be amended from time to time (hereinafter,
the "Registration Statement"). If the Fund provides the Company with materially
incorrect net asset value per share information through no fault of the Company,
the Company, on behalf of the Accounts, shall be entitled to an adjustment to
the number of shares purchased or redeemed to reflect the correct net asset
value per share in accordance with the net asset value correction procedures set
forth by the Board of Trustees of the Fund (hereinafter, the "Fund Board") and
in conformity with SEC interpretations as now in effect or as may be amended.
Any material error in the calculation of net asset value per share, dividend or
capital gain information shall be reported promptly upon discovery to the
Company.
1.2. The Fund agrees to indefinitely make its shares available for
purchase at the applicable net asset value per share by the Phoenix Insurance
Companies and the Accounts on those days on which the Fund calculates its NAV
pursuant to Section 1.1. Shares of the Fund will be sold only to the Phoenix
Insurance Companies and their Accounts. No shares of any Portfolio will be sold
to the general public. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Fund Board 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 with respect to the Fund, or is, in
the reasonable discretion of the Fund Board acting in good faith and in light of
their fiduciary duties under federal and any applicable state laws, necessary in
order to protect the best interests of the Contract owners investing in such
Portfolio. The Phoenix Insurance Companies, in consultation with the Fund, shall
establish and maintain policies and procedures designed to detect, monitor and
deter (including, without limitation, rejecting specific purchase orders)
Contract owners (or their agents) whose purchase and redemption activity follows
a market timing pattern, and to take such other actions as it deems necessary to
discourage or reduce market timing activity. The Phoenix Insurance Companies
shall not modify such policies and procedures, except on providing reasonable
notice to the Fund. For the purposes hereof, "market timing activity" shall mean
and refer to any discernable pattern of excessive trading in and out of a
Portfolio by one or more Contract owners (or their agents), including, without
limitation, any purchase and sale (round trip) in and out of a single Portfolio
within any thirty day period. The Phoenix Insurance Companies shall provide
reasonable reports regarding its implementation and enforcement of such
restrictions on purchase and redemption activity that follows a market-timing
pattern upon request. The Phoenix Insurance Companies each agree that purchases
and redemptions of Portfolio shares offered by the then current prospectus of
the Fund shall be made in accordance with the provisions of such prospectus.
3
1.3. In addition to the Phoenix Insurance Companies' responsibilities
under Section 1.2, they agree to provide the Fund, upon written request, the
taxpayer identification number ("TIN"), the Individual/International Taxpayer
Identification Number ("ITIN"), or other government-issued identifier ("GII"),
if known, of any or all owner(s) of the Contract and the amount, date, name or
other identifier of any investment professional(s) associated with the owner(s)
or Contract (if known), and transaction type (purchase, redemption, transfer, or
exchange) of every purchase, redemption, transfer, or exchange of Fund shares
held through an account maintained by the Phoenix Insurance Companies during the
period covered by the request.
(a) Requests must set forth a specific period, not to
exceed ninety days from the date of the request, for which transaction
information is sought. The Fund may request transaction information
older than ninety days from the date of the request as it deems
necessary to investigate compliance with policies and procedures
established by the Fund for the purpose of discouraging or reducing
market timing of the outstanding shares issued by the Fund.
(b) The Phoenix Insurance Companies agrees to provide
within thirty days upon request of the Fund or its designee, the
requested information. If requested by the Fund or its designee, the
Company agrees to use best efforts to determine promptly whether any
specific person about whom it has received the identification and
transaction information is itself a financial intermediary ("indirect
intermediary") and, upon further request of the Fund or its designee,
within thirty days provide (or arrange to have provided) the
information for those owners who hold an account with an indirect
intermediary.
(c) The Fund agrees not to use the information received
for marketing or any other similar purpose without the prior written
consent of the Phoenix Insurance Companies.
(d) The Phoenix Insurance Companies agree to execute
written instructions from the Fund to restrict or prohibit further
purchases or exchanges of Fund shares by an owner who has been
identified by the Fund as having engaged in transactions of the Fund's
Shares (directly or indirectly through the Contract) that violate
policies and procedures established or utilized by the Fund for the
purpose of discouraging or reducing market timing of the outstanding
Shares issued by the Fund.
(e) The Phoenix Insurance Companies agrees to execute
instructions from the Fund to restrict or prohibit trading as soon as
reasonably practicable, but not later than five business days after
receipt of the instructions by the Company.
(f) The Phoenix Insurance Companies must provide written
confirmation to the Fund that instructions from the Fund to restrict or
prohibit trading have been executed. The Phoenix Insurance Companies
agrees to provide confirmation as soon as reasonably practicable, but
not later than ten business days after the instructions have been
executed.
1.4. Issuance and transfer of the Fund's shares will be by book
entry only. Stock certificates will not be issued to the Phoenix Insurance
Companies or any Account.
4
1.5. Shares ordered from the Fund will be recorded in an
appropriate title for each Account or the appropriate subaccount of each
Account. The Phoenix Insurance Companies undertakes and agrees to comply with
all laws, regulations, protocols and other Federal, state or foreign
requirements relating to money laundering that are applicable to the Phoenix
Insurance Companies and/or the Accounts, including, without limitation,
applicable sections of the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing
Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism (USA PATRIOT ACT)
Act of 2001 (the "USA Patriot Act"), the International Money Laundering
Abatement and Anti-Terrorist Financing Act of 2001 (Title III of the USA Patriot
Act) and any and all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, as well as
official interpretations of any of the foregoing, that are applicable to life
insurance companies and/or separate accounts (policies and procedures adopted by
the Board of Directors of the Phoenix Insurance Companies and/or such other
policies, howsoever memorialized, as may be implemented from time to time by the
Phoenix Insurance Companies in connection therewith, shall be collectively
referred to as the "AML Procedures"). The Fund and the Phoenix Insurance
Companies agree that, if required or permitted by law, rule or regulation, each
would share information with the other party regarding individuals, entities,
organizations, and countries suspected of possible terrorist or money laundering
activities in accordance with Section 314(b) of the USA PATRIOT ACT. The Phoenix
Insurance Companies agrees to provide the Fund, its internal or external
auditors, regulatory authorities, or the duly appointed agents of any of the
foregoing (collectively, the "Interested Parties"), any and all necessary
reports and information requested by the Fund or any of the Interested Parties,
as the case may be, with respect to the Phoenix Insurance Companies performance
of its obligations under the AML Procedures.
1.6. The Fund shall furnish same day notice (by wire or telephone,
followed by written confirmation) to the Phoenix Insurance Companies of any
trading activity, including any income, dividends or capital gain distributions
payable on the Fund's shares. The Phoenix Insurance Companies hereby elect to
receive all such income dividends and capital gain distributions as are payable
on the Portfolio shares in additional shares of that Portfolio. The Phoenix
Insurance Companies reserve the right to revoke this election and to receive all
such income dividends and capital gain distributions in cash. The Fund shall
notify the Phoenix Insurance Companies of the number of shares so issued as
payment of such dividends and distributions.
1.7. If the Fund provides the Phoenix Insurance Companies with
materially incorrect NAV per share information through no fault of the Phoenix
Insurance Companies, the Phoenix Insurance Companies on behalf of the Accounts
shall be entitled to an adjustment to the number of shares purchased or redeemed
to reflect the correct NAV per share in accordance with the NAV correction
procedures set forth by the Fund Board and in conformity with SEC
interpretations as now in effect or as may be amended from time to time. Any
material error in the calculation of NAV per share, dividend or capital gain
information shall be reported by the Fund promptly upon discovery to the Phoenix
Insurance Companies.

ARTICLE VII. Potential Conflicts
-------------------
7.1. The Fund 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. To the extent not inconsistent with
the Shared Funding Exemptive Order, 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 Fund Board shall promptly inform the Phoenix Insurance Companies if
it determines that an irreconcilable material conflict exists and the
implications thereof.
9
7.2. The Phoenix Insurance Companies will each report any potential
or existing conflicts of which it is aware to the Fund Board. The Phoenix
Insurance Companies will each assist the Fund Board in carrying out its
responsibilities under the Shared Funding Exemptive Order by providing the Fund
Board with all information reasonably necessary for the Fund Board to consider
any issues raised. This includes, but is not limited to, an obligation by the
Phoenix Insurance Companies to inform the Fund Board whenever contract owner
voting instructions are disregarded.
7.3. If it is determined by a majority of the Fund Board, or a
majority of its disinterested trustees, that a material irreconcilable conflict
exists, the Phoenix Insurance Companies shall each, at their expense and to the
extent reasonably practicable (as determined by a majority of the disinterested
trustees), 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 Phoenix 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 Phoenix Insurance Companies to disregard Contract owner voting
instructions and that decision represents a minority position or would preclude
a majority vote, the Phoenix Insurance Companies 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 Fund 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 Phoenix Insurance
Companies 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 Phoenix
Insurance Companies conflicts with the majority of other state regulators, then
the Phoenix Insurance Companies will withdraw the affected Account's investment
in the Fund and terminate this Agreement with respect to such Account within six
months after the Fund Board informs the Phoenix Insurance Companies 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 Fund Board.
Until the end of the foregoing six month period, the Underwriter and Fund shall
continue to accept and implement orders by the Phoenix Insurance Companies for
the purchase (and redemption) of shares of the Fund.
7.6. For purposes of Sections 7.3 through 7.6 of this Agreement, a
majority of the disinterested members of the Fund Board shall determine whether
any proposed action adequately remedies any irreconcilable material conflict,
but in no event win the Fund be required to establish a new funding medium for
the Contracts. The Phoenix Insurance Companies shall not be required by Section
7.3 to establish a new funding medium for the Contracts if an offer to do so has
been declined by vote of a
10
majority of Contract owners materially adversely affected by the irreconcilable
material conflict. In the event that the Fund Board determines that any proposed
action does not adequately remedy any irreconcilable material conflict, then the
Phoenix Insurance Companies will withdraw the Account's investment in the Fund
and terminate this Agreement within six (6) months after the Fund Board informs
the Phoenix Insurance Companies 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 Fund Board.
7.7. If and to the extent that 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 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 Phoenix 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, 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.

Section 8.1) against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities
(including amounts paid in settlement with the written consent of the
Company) or litigation (including legal and other expenses), to which
the Indemnified Parties may become subject under any statute,
regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) or
settlements are related to the sale or acquisition of, or investment
in, the Fund's shares or the Contracts and:
(i) arise out of or are based upon any untrue
statements or alleged untrue statements of any material fact
contained in the Disclosure Documents for the Contracts or
contained in the Contracts or sales literature for the
Contracts (or any amendment or supplement to any of the
foregoing), or arise out of or are based upon the omission or
the alleged omission to state therein a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading, provided that this
agreement to indemnify shall not apply as to any Indemnified
Party if such statement or omission or such alleged statement
or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with
information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the
Fund for use, in any Disclosure Document relating to the
Contracts or in the Contracts or sales literature (or any
amendment or supplement) or otherwise for use in connection
with the sale of the Contracts or Fund shares; or
11
(ii) arise out of or as a result of statements or
representations (other than statements or representations
contained in the Registration Statement, prospectus or sales
literature of the Fund not supplied by the Phoenix Insurance
Companies, or persons under their control) or wrongful
conduct of the Phoenix Insurance Companies or persons under
their control, with respect to the sale or distribution of
the Contracts or Fund Shares; or
(iii) arise out of any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact contained in a
Registration Statement, prospectus, or sales literature of
the Fund or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or
the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading if such a statement or
omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with
information furnished to the Fund by or on behalf of the
Phoenix Insurance Companies; or
(iv) arise as a result of any failure by the
Phoenix Insurance Companies to provide the services and
furnish the materials under the terms of this Agreement; or
(v) arise out of or result from any material
breach of any representation and/or warranty made by the
Phoenix Insurance Companies in this Agreement or arise out of
or result from any other material breach of this Agreement by
the Phoenix Insurance Companies,
as limited by and in accordance with the provisions of Sections 8.1(b)
and 8.1(c) hereof.
(b) The Company shall not be liable under this
indemnification provision with respect to any losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or litigation incurred or assessed against an Indemnified
Party as such may arise from such Indemnified Party's willful
misfeasance, bad faith, or gross negligence in the performance of such
Indemnified Party's duties or by reason of such Indemnified Party's
reckless disregard of obligations or duties under this Agreement or to
the Fund, whichever is applicable.
(c) The Company 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
Company 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 Company of any such claim shall not
relieve the Company 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. In case any such action is
brought against the Indemnified Parties, the Company shall be entitled
to participate, at its own expense, in the defense of such action. The
Company also shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with
counsel satisfactory to the party named in the action. After notice
from the Company to such party of the Company's election to assume the
defense thereof the Indemnified Party shall bear the fees and expenses
of any additional counsel retained by it, and the Company 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
12
costs of investigation.
(d) The Indemnified Parties will promptly notify the
Company of the commencement of any litigation or proceedings against
them in connection with the issuance or sale of the Fund Shares or the
Contracts or the operation of the Fund.

Section 8.2) against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities
(including amounts paid in settlement with the written consent of the
Fund) or litigation (including legal and other expenses to which the
Indemnified Parties may become subject under any statute, at common law
or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or
expenses (or actions in respect thereof) or settlements result from the
gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Board or any
member thereof are related to the operations of the Fund, and:

to provide the services and furnish the materials under the
terms of this Agreement (including a failure to comply with
the diversification requirements specified in Article VI of
this Agreement); or
(ii) arise out of or result from any material
breach of any representation and/or warranty made by the Fund

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 Fund of any such claim shall not
relieve the Fund 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. In case any such action is
brought against the Indemnified Parties, the Fund will be entitled to
participate, at its own expense, in the defense thereof. The Fund also
shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with counsel
satisfactory to the party named in the action. After notice from the
Fund to such party of the Fund's election to assume the defense
thereof, the Indemnified Party shall bear the fees and expenses of any
additional counsel retained by it, and the Fund will not be liable to
such party under this
13
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.
