WHEREAS, X. Xxxx Price has identified Intermediary as a financial

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual
promises set forth below, the parties agree as follows:
1. DEFINITIONS
A. The term "FUND" includes Services, Investment Services,
and/or the Fund. The term not does include any money market fund. "Fund's
designee" includes a third party the Fund has contracted with to perform some or
all of the services herein.
B. The term "PURCHASE" does not include the automated
reinvestment of dividends.
C. The term "SHARES" means the interests of Shareholders
corresponding to the redeemable securities of record issued by the Fund that
are held by the Intermediary.
D. The term "SHAREHOLDER" means the holder of interests in a
variable annuity or variable life insurance contract issued by the Intermediary
or a participant in an employee benefit plan with a beneficial interest in a
contract.
E. The term "WRITTEN" includes electronic writing and
facsimile transmissions.
2. AGREEMENT TO PROVIDE INFORMATION. Intermediary agrees to provide the
Fund, or Fund's designee, 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
Shareholder(s) of the account and the amount, date, name or other identifier of
any investment professional(s) associated with the Shareholder(s) or account (if
known), and transaction type (purchase, redemption, transfer, or exchange) of
every purchase, redemption, transfer, or exchange of Shares held through an
account maintained by the Intermediary during the period covered by the request.
A. PERIOD COVERED BY REQUEST. Requests must set forth a
specific period for which transaction information is sought, which will
generally not exceed ninety (90) calendar days of transaction information. The
Fund, or Fund's designee, will not request transaction information older than
twelve (12) months from the date of the request unless the Fund deems it
necessary to investigate compliance with policies established by the Fund for
the purpose of eliminating or reducing any dilution of the value of the
outstanding shares issued by the Fund.
B. FORM AND TIMING OF RESPONSE. Intermediary agrees to
transmit the requested information that is on its books and records to the Fund,
or Fund's designee, promptly, but in any event not later than five (5) business
days or such other time as agreed to by the Fund, after receipt of a request. If
requested by the Fund, or Fund's designee, Intermediary agrees to use its best
efforts to determine promptly whether any specific person about whom it has
received the identification and transaction information specified in 2 above is
itself a financial intermediary ("INDIRECT INTERMEDIARY") and, upon further
request of the Fund, or Fund's designee, promptly (within the time period
designated above): (i) provide or arrange to provide to the Fund, or Fund's
designee, the information in 2 above for those shareholders who hold an account
with an Indirect Intermediary, or (ii) if directed by the Fund or Fund's
designee, restrict or prohibit further purchases of Fund shares from such
Indirect Intermediary. In such instances, Intermediary agrees to inform the
Fund, or Fund's designee, whether it plans to perform (i) or (ii). Responses
required by this paragraph must be communicated in writing and in a format
mutually agreed upon by the parties. To the extent practicable, the format for
any transaction information provided to the Fund, or Fund's designee, should be
consistent with the NSCC Standardized Data Reporting Format. For purposes of
this provision, an "Indirect Intermediary" has the same meaning as in Rule
22c-2.
C. LIMITATIONS ON USE OF INFORMATION. The Fund agrees not to
use the information received for marketing or any other similar purpose without
the prior written consent of the Intermediary.
3. AGREEMENT TO RESTRICT TRADING. Intermediary agrees to execute
written instructions from the Fund, or Fund's designee, to restrict or prohibit
further purchases or exchanges of Shares by a Shareholder that has been
identified by the Fund, or Fund's designee, as having engaged in transactions of
the Fund's Shares (directly or indirectly through the Intermediary's account)
that violate policies established by the Fund for the purpose of eliminating or
reducing any dilution of the value of the outstanding Shares issued by the Fund.
A. FORM OF INSTRUCTIONS. Instructions must include the TIN,
ITIN or GII if known, and the specific restriction(s) to be executed. If the
TIN, ITIN or GII is not known, the instructions must include an equivalent
identifying number of the Shareholder(s) or account(s) or other agreed upon
information to which the instruction relates.
B. TIMING OF RESPONSE. Intermediary agrees to execute
instructions as soon as reasonably practicable, but not later than five (5)
business days after receipt of the instructions by the Intermediary.
C. CONFIRMATION BY INTERMEDIARY. Intermediary must provide
written confirmation to the Fund, or Fund's designee, that instructions have
been executed. Intermediary agrees to provide confirmation as soon as reasonably
practicable, but not later than ten (10) business days after the instructions
have been executed.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed and delivered this
Agreement as of the date first written above.
