6.3 FUNDS TO REMAIN AVAILABLE
Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement by LIFE COMPANY,
AVIF will, at the option of LIFE COMPANY, continue to make available
additional shares of the Fund pursuant to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, for all Contracts in effect on the effective date of termination
of this Agreement (hereinafter referred to as "Existing Contracts"), unless
AIM or the Board determines that doing so would not serve the best
interests of the shareholders of the affected Funds or would be

investments in the Fund and/or invest in the Fund upon the making of
additional purchase payments under the Existing Contracts. The parties

of this Agreement or (ii) any rejected purchase and/or redemption order as
described in Section 2.3(c) hereof.

SECTION 21. FORCE MAJEURE
Each Party shall be excused from the performance of any of its

event beyond its control which shall include, without limitation, any
applicable order, rule or regulation of any federal, state or local body,
agency or instrumentality with jurisdiction, work stoppage, accident,
natural disaster, war, acts of terrorism or civil disorder, provided that
the Party so excused shall use all reasonable efforts to minimize its
nonperformance and overcome, remedy, cure or remove such event as soon as
