2. The Trust, Adviser and Distributor each represents and warrants to Insurance Company, the Series and CRMC that the shares of the Portfolios listed on Appendix C are or will be registered under the 1933 Act and that the shares will be issued, sold and distributed in compliance in all material respects with all applicable federal securities laws. The Trust further represents and warrants that: (a) the Trust is, and shall be at all times while this Agreement is in force, lawfully organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of ___; (b) the Trust is and shall remain registered as an open-end management investment company under the 1940 Act; (c) the SEC Filings (including the registration statement) of the Trust conform or, when they become effective, will conform in all material respects to the requirements of the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act and the 1940 Act, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; provided, however, that this representation and warranty shall not apply to any statements or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Series by Insurance Company, CRMC or the Series expressly for use therein; and (e) the Trust, Adviser and Distributor will comply in all material respects with all applicable laws and regulations, including, without limitation, the 1933 Act and the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder.

2a.

3. The Series will furnish to Insurance Company and the Trust such information with respect to the Series in such form and signed by such of its officers as Insurance Company and/or the Trust may reasonably request, and will warrant that the statements therein contained when so signed will be true and correct. The Series will advise Insurance Company and the Trust immediately of: (a) any non-routine request by the Commission (i) for amendment of the registration statement relating to the Series, or (ii) for additional information; (b) the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the registration statement of the Series or the initiation of any proceeding for that purpose; (c) the institution of any proceeding, investigation or hearing involving the offer or sale of the Contracts or the Series of which it or CRMC becomes aware; or (d) the happening of any material event, if known, which makes untrue any statement made in the registration statement of the Series or which requires the making of a change therein in order to make any statement made therein not misleading.

4. The Series will make Class 2 shares of the Master Funds listed on Appendix C available to the Portfolios and will register for sale under the 1933 Act and, if required, under state securities laws, such additional shares of the Master Funds as may be reasonably necessary

for investment by the Portfolios under this Agreement and maintain a continuous offering of the shares of the Master Funds. Distributor, as the Trust’s distributor, will be entitled to a Rule 12b-1 service fee paid by the Series and to be accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Class 2 shares of each Master Fund attributable to the Contracts. Distributor may use the fee in connection with offering shares of the Portfolios to Insurance Company or for other purposes or services deemed appropriate by Distributor, including services for Contract owners with investments in subaccounts corresponding to the Portfolios investing in Class 2 shares of each Master Fund (each, a “Subaccount”) for as long as the Series’ Class 2 Plan of Distribution pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the “12b-1 plan”) remains in effect and the Portfolios remain invested in shares of the Master Funds. Master Fund shares to be made available to the Portfolios shall be sold by the Series and purchased by the Trust for a given Portfolio at the net asset value of the respective Master Fund (without the imposition of a sales load) next computed after receipt of each order by the Series or its designee, as established in accordance with the provisions of the then current Prospectus of the Series. For purposes of this Paragraph 4, Insurance Company shall be a designee of each Master Fund and each Portfolio for receipt of such orders attributable to the Contracts, and receipt by such designee as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time (or other such time the Boards of Trustees of the Trust and the Series shall so designate) shall constitute receipt by the Trust and the Series; provided that the Portfolio and the Master Fund each receives actual notice of such order by 8:30 a.m. Eastern time on the following Business Day (“Next Business Day”). “Business Day” shall mean any day on which the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open for trading and on which the Series or Portfolio, as applicable, calculates its net asset value pursuant to the rules of the Commission. The Series will make shares of the Master Funds available indefinitely for purchase at the applicable net asset value per share by the Trust and its Portfolios on those days on which the Series calculates its net asset value pursuant to the rules of the Commission, and the Series shall use its best efforts to calculate such net asset value on each day on which the NYSE is open for trading. The Series shall make the net asset value per share for each Master Fund available to the Trust on a daily basis as soon as reasonably practicable after the Series calculates its net asset value per share, and the Series shall use its best efforts to make such net asset value per share available by 6:30 p.m. Eastern time. CRMC and the Series shall report to the Trust and Insurance Company any material error in the calculation of the net asset values, dividends or capital gain information as soon as practicable upon discovery. The Series and CRMC are responsible for maintaining net asset values for each Master Fund in accordance with the requirements of the 1940 Act and the Series’ then current Prospectus. Shares of particular Master Funds shall be ordered in such quantities and at such times as determined by the Trust to be necessary to meet the requirements of the Portfolios. Payments for shares purchased will be made in federal funds transmitted by wire on the Next Business Day, and Insurance Company and the Trust shall each use commercially reasonable efforts to wire (or cause to be wired) funds to the other, for the purpose of settling net purchase orders or orders of redemption, by 3:00 p.m. Eastern time on the Next Business Day.

4a. The Series and CRMC agree that total return and yield performance information of the Series derived from its registration statement provided by the Series or CRMC may be used by the Trust, Distributor or Insurance Company in connection with the sale of shares of the Portfolios and the Contracts without prior approval of the Series or CRMC, and the Trust,

Distributor and Insurance Company will be responsible for using such information in conformity with the information provided.

4b. The Series reserves the right to temporarily suspend or terminate sales of the Series’ shares to the Trust and the Portfolios if such action is required by law, or if the Board of Trustees of the Series deems it necessary, appropriate and in the best interests of the Series and its shareholders or in response to the order of an appropriate regulatory authority.

5. The Trust will make shares of the Portfolios listed on Appendix C available to Insurance Company and will register for sale under the 1933 Act and, if required, under state securities laws, such additional shares of the Portfolios as may reasonably be necessary for use as the funding vehicle for the Contracts and to maintain a continuous offering of the shares of the Portfolios.

5a. The Trust reserves the right to temporarily suspend or terminate sales of the Portfolios’ shares to Insurance Company, or purchases of the Series’ shares by the Trust and the Portfolios, if any such action is required by law, or if the Board of Trustees of the Trust deems it necessary, appropriate and in the best interest of the Trust and its shareholders (including Contract owners) or in response to the order of an appropriate regulatory authority.

6. The Contracts funded through each Account will provide for the allocation of net amounts among certain Subaccounts for investment in such shares of the Portfolios as may be offered from time to time in the Contracts. The selection of the particular Subaccount is to be made by the Contract owner and such selection may be changed in accordance with the terms of the Contracts. Insurance Company reserves the right to refuse, to impose limitations on, or to limit any transaction request if the request would tend to disrupt Contract administration or is not in the best interest of the Contract owners or an Account or Subaccount.

7. Transfer of the Series’ and the Trust’s shares will be by book entry only. No stock certificates will be issued to the Accounts or Portfolios. Shares ordered from a particular Master Fund will be recorded by CRMC or the Series’ transfer agent as instructed by the Trust in an appropriate title for the corresponding Portfolio. Shares ordered from a particular Portfolio will be recorded by Distributor or the Trust’s transfer agent as instructed by Insurance Company in an appropriate title for the corresponding Account or Subaccount.

8. The Series shall furnish notice promptly to the Trust of any dividend or distribution payable on any shares of the Master Funds held by the Portfolios. The Trust hereby elects to receive all such dividends and distributions as are payable on shares of a Master Fund recorded in the title for the corresponding Portfolio in additional shares of that Master Fund. The Series shall notify the Trust of the number of shares so issued. The Trust reserves the right to revoke this election and to receive all such income dividends and capital gain distributions in cash.

8a. The Trust shall furnish notice promptly to Insurance Company of any dividend or distribution payable on any shares underlying the Portfolios. Insurance Company hereby elects to

receive all such dividends and distributions as are payable on shares of a Portfolio recorded in the title for the corresponding Subaccount in additional shares of that Portfolio. The Trust shall notify Insurance Company of the number of shares so issued. Insurance Company reserves the right to revoke this election and to receive all such income dividends and capital gain distributions in cash.

9. The Series shall effect redemptions of interests in the Master Funds in accordance with the terms of the Master Funds’ then current Prospectus and the provisions of the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder. For purposes of this Paragraph 9, Insurance Company shall be a designee of each Portfolio and each Master Fund for receipt of requests for redemption from each Account, and receipt by such designee by 4:00 p.m. Eastern time (or other such time the Boards of Trustees of the Trust and the Series shall so designate) shall constitute receipt by the Trust and the Series; provided that the Trust or Series each receives actual notice of such request for redemption by 8:30 a.m. Eastern time on the Next Business Day. Insurance Company shall purchase and redeem the shares of the Portfolios offered by the then current Prospectus of the Trust in accordance with the provisions of such Prospectus.

9a. All redemption requests, including any redemption requests that the Trust receives from an Account which necessitate a redemption request to the Series and a redemption of a Portfolio’s entire interest from a Master Fund, will be effected in cash at the next determined net asset value after the redemption request is received, payable in federal funds. The Series will use its best efforts to settle redemptions on the business day following the receipt of a redemption request by the Series and if such next business day settlement is not practicable, then as soon thereafter as practicable, and will immediately notify the Trust regarding the anticipated settlement date, which shall in all events be a date permitted under the 1940 Act. The Trust will settle redemptions immediately upon receipt of proceeds from the Series.

10. The Series shall pay all expenses incidental to its performance under this Agreement. The Series shall bear the expenses for the cost of registration of its shares, preparation of Prospectuses and statements of additional information to be sent to existing Contract owners (upon request in the case of the statement of additional information), proxy statements and related materials and annual and semi-annual shareholder reports, the printing and distribution of such items to each Contract owner who has allocated net amounts to any Subaccount, the preparation of all statements and notices required from it by any federal or state law, and taxes on the issue or transfer of the Series’ shares subject to this Agreement. The Series will provide the Trust and Insurance Company, at least once a year, with enough copies of its Statement of Additional Information to be able to distribute one to each Contract owner or prospective Contract owner who requests such Statement of Additional Information. With respect to any prospectus and annual and semi-annual reports (the “Reports”) of the Series that are printed in combination with any one or more such Reports of other investment options for the Contracts (the “Booklet”), the Series shall bear the costs of printing and mailing the Booklet to existing Contract owners based on the ratio of the number of pages of the Series’ Reports included in the Booklet to the number of pages in the Booklet as a whole.

11. Insurance Company shall bear the expenses for the cost of preparation and

delivery of the Portfolios and the Master Funds respective Prospectuses (and supplements thereto) to be sent to prospective Contract owners. Each of the Trust and the Series shall provide, at its expense and in a timely manner, such documentation (in camera-ready or other mutually agreeable form) and other assistance as is reasonably necessary in order for Insurance Company once each year (or more frequently if the Prospectus for the Series or the Trust is amended), and twice each year in the case of the annual and semi-annual shareholder reports, to have the Prospectus or Prospectuses, and the annual and semi-annual shareholder reports for the Contracts, the Portfolios and the Master Funds, printed together in one or more documents (such printing to be done at Insurance Company’s expense with respect to prospective investors).

12. Insurance Company represents and warrants to the Trust and the Series that any information furnished in writing by Insurance Company to the Trust or the Series for use in the registration statements of the Trust and the Series, respectively, will not result in the registration statement’s failing to conform in all respects to the requirements of the 1933 Act and the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder or containing any untrue statement of a material fact or omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.

12a. The Trust represents and warrants to the Series that any information furnished in writing by the Trust to the Series for use in the registration statement of the Series will not result in the registration statement’s failing to conform in all respects to the requirements of the 1933 Act and the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder or containing any untrue statement of a material fact or omission to state a material fact required to be state therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.

12b. The Series represents and warrants to the Trust and Insurance Company that any information furnished in writing by the Series to the Trust or Insurance Company for use in the registration statement of the Trust or Insurance Company will not result in the registration statement’s failing to conform in all respects to the requirements of the 1933 Act and the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder or containing any untrue statement of a material fact or omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.
