With respect to errors in the net asset value as communicated to the Fund or Insurance Company, the correction will be handled in a manner consistent with SEC guidelines and the Investment Company Act of 1940. Additional shares of the Series and any amounts due the Funds and or Insurance Company shall be paid promptly consistent with the Funds and Insurance Company’s obligations to timely make correcting payments to and correct Contract owner accounts. 6.

Insurance Company and the Trust reserve 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 holders or an Account or Subaccount. 9. The Trust will make Class 1 shares of the Funds listed on Attachment A 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 Funds 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 Funds. 10.

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 Fund 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. 13.

(a) Shares of the Series may be offered to separate accounts of various insurance companies ("Participating Insurance Companies") in addition to the Trust. The Series and CRMC represent and warrant that each Master Fund is currently qualified as a Regulated Investment Company under Subchapter M of the Code, and that they will maintain such qualification (under Subchapter M or any successor or similar provision) and that no other Participating Insurance Company or Underlying Fund will purchase shares in any Master Fund for any purpose or under any circumstances that would preclude Insurance Company or the Trust from “looking through” to the investments of each Master Fund in which it invests, pursuant to the “look through” rules found in Treasury Regulation 1.817-5. The Series or CRMC will notify the Insurance Company and the Trust immediately upon having a reasonable basis for believing that any Master Fund has ceased to so qualify or that any might not so qualify in the future. (b) The Series and CRMC represent and warrant that the Series and each Master Fund will at all times comply with the diversification requirements of Section 817(h) of the Code and any regulations thereunder applicable to variable contracts as defined in Section 817(d) of the Code and any amendments or other modifications or successor provisions to such Sections or regulations (and any revenue rulings, revenue procedures, notices, and other published announcements of the Internal Revenue Service interpreting those Sections or regulations), as if those requirements applied directly to each such Master Fund. The Series and CRMC represent and warrant that any failure to comply with such diversification requirements would be a material breach of this Agreement as it may result in the Contracts not being treated as variable contracts for federal income tax purposes which would have adverse tax consequences for Contract owners and could also adversely affect the Company's corporate tax liability. The Series will notify the Company immediately upon having a reasonable basis for believing that the Series or a Master Fund thereunder has ceased to comply with the diversification requirements or that the Series or Master Fund might not comply with the diversification requirements in the future. In the event of a breach of this representation and warranty the Series will take all reasonable necessary steps to adequately diversify the Series so as to achieve compliance within the grace period afforded by Treasury Regulation 1.817-5. The Series will provide Insurance Company and the Trust with securities holdings reports for each Master Fund within ten days after each calendar quarter. 18. The Series hereby notifies Insurance Company and the Trust that it may be appropriate to include in the Prospectus pursuant to which a Contract is offered disclosure regarding the risks of mixed and shared funding. 19. Indemnification. (a) Insurance Company shall indemnify and hold harmless CRMC, each of the Master Funds, and each of its affiliates, directors, officers, employees and agents and each person who controls them within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees ("Losses"), to which they may be subject, insofar as such Losses arise out of or are based upon (i) Insurance Company's negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of its duties and obligations under this Agreement, (ii) Insurance Company's violation of any Applicable Law in connection with the performance of its duties and obligations under this Agreement, and (iii) any material breach by Insurance Company of any provision of this Agreement, including any representation, warranty or covenant made in the Agreement by Insurance Company. Insurance Company shall also reimburse CRMC, the Master Funds and their respective affiliates for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any of them in connection with investigating or defending against such Losses. This indemnity provision is in addition to any other liability which Insurance Company may otherwise have to CRMC, the Master Funds or their respective affiliates. (b) CRMC and the Series, as applicable, shall each indemnify and hold harmless, Insurance Company, each of the Funds, and each of its affiliates, its directors, officers, employees and agents and each person who controls them within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, from and against any and all Losses to which they may be subject, insofar as such Losses arise out of or are based upon (i) CRMC or the Series’ negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of its duties and obligations under this Agreement, (ii) CRMC of the Series’ violation of Applicable Law in connection with the performance of its duties and obligations under this Agreement, and (iii) any material breach by CRMC of the Series of any provision of this Agreement, including any representation, warranty or covenant made in the Agreement by CRMC or the Series. CRMC or the Series, as applicable, shall also reimburse Insurance Company and their respective affiliates for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any of them in connection with investigating or defending against such Losses. This indemnity provision is in addition to any other liability which CRMC or the Series may otherwise have to Insurance Company or the Funds and their respective affiliates.

The indemnifying party will be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. After notice from the indemnifying party of its intention to assume the defense of an action and the appointment of satisfactory counsel, Indemnified Party shall bear the expenses of any additional counsel obtained by it, and the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such Indemnified Party under this paragraph for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. The indemnifying party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, settle or compromise the liability of the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that in the event that the Indemnified Party fails to provide its written consent, the indemnifying party shall thereafter be liable to provide indemnification only to the extent of the amount for which the action could otherwise have been settled or compromised. 20. The parties understand that there is no intention to create a joint venture in the subject matter of this Agreement. Accordingly, the right to terminate this Agreement and to engage in any activity not inconsistent with this Agreement is absolute. This Agreement will terminate with respect to one, some or all of the Funds and Master Funds: (a) by mutual agreement at any time; or (b) any party at any time, with respect to one, some or all of the Master Funds, upon six months written notice; (c) at the option of Insurance Company, the Trust, CRMC or the Series upon ten calendar days’ prior written notice to the other party if a final non-appealable administrative or judicial decision is entered against the other party which has a material impact on the Contracts; or (d) at the option of Insurance Company or the Trust, upon ten calendar days’ prior written notice, if shares of the Series are not reasonably available; or (e) at the option of Insurance Company or the Trust, immediately upon written notice, if the Series or CRMC fails to meet the requirements for diversification under Section 817 (or any successor or similar provision) or to qualify as a RIC under the Code or if the Insurance Company or Trust reasonably and in good faith believes a Master Fund may fail to meet such requirements or qualify; or (f) in the event the Series’ shares are not registered, issued or sold in accordance with applicable state and/or federal law or such law precludes the use of such shares as an underlying investment for the Funds or the Contracts issued or to be issued by Insurance Company; in such event prompt notice shall be given by Insurance Company, the Trust or the Series to each of the other parties; or (g) at Insurance Company or Trust’s option by written notice to the Series and/or CRMC if Insurance Company or Trust shall determine in its sole judgment exercised in good faith, that to stop offering a Fund because either the Series or CRMC has suffered a material adverse change in its business, operations, financial condition or prospects since the date of this Agreement or is the subject of material adverse publicity, such termination to be effective sixty (60) days' after receipt by the other parties of written notice of the election to terminate; or (h) at the option of the Series or CRMC by written notice to Insurance Company and the Trust if the Series or CRMC shall determine in its sole judgment exercised in good faith, that Insurance Company or the Trust has suffered a material adverse change in its business, operations, financial condition or prospects since the date of this Agreement or is the subject of material adverse publicity, such termination to be effective sixty (60) days' after receipt by the other parties of written notice of the election to terminate. The effective date for termination pursuant to any notice given under this Paragraph shall be calculated beginning with the date of receipt of such notice. 21. All notices, consents, waivers, and other communications under this Agreement must be in writing, and will be deemed to have been duly received: (a) when delivered by hand (with written confirmation of receipt); (b) when sent by telecopier (with written confirmation of receipt), provided that a copy is mailed by registered mail, return receipt requested; or (c) the day after it is sent by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service, in each case to the appropriate addresses and telecopier numbers set forth below (or to such other addresses and facsimile numbers as a party may designate by notice to the other parties):

If this Agreement terminates, any provision of this Agreement necessary to the orderly windup of business under it will remain in effect as to that business, after termination. 23. If this Agreement terminates, the Series, at the Trust’s option, will continue to make additional shares of the Series available for all existing Contracts as of the effective date of termination (under the same terms and conditions as were in effect prior to termination of this Agreement with respect to existing Contract owners), unless the Series liquidates or applicable laws prohibit further sales. The Trust agrees not to redeem shares of the Series unless: (a) the Agreement is terminated; (b) legitimately required to do so according to a Contract owner’s request; (c) under an order from the Commission or pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the Commission or pursuant to a vote of Contract owners; (d) as otherwise agreed to or permitted among the parties; or (e) Insurance Company or the Trust provides at least sixty (60) days advance written notice. 24. The obligations of the Trust and the Series under this Agreement are not binding upon any of the Trustees, officers, employees or shareholders (except CRMC if it is a shareholder) of the Trust and the Series individually, but bind only the Trust and the Series’ assets. When seeking satisfaction for any liability of the Trust and the Series in respect of this Agreement, each of the parties agree not to seek recourse against said Trustees, officers, employees or shareholders, or any of them, or any of their personal assets for such satisfaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Insurance Company or the Trust seek satisfaction for any liability of the Series in respect of this Agreement, Insurance Company (on behalf of itself or any Account) and/or the Trust may seek recourse against CRMC. All obligations of the Trust hereunder shall be binding only upon the assets of Trust and shall not be binding on any other series of the Trust or on the trustees, officers or shareholders of the Trust or of any other series of the Trust.

This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without reference to its conflicts of law provisions. 26. This Agreement and the parties’ rights, duties and obligations under this Agreement are not transferable or assignable by any of them without the express, prior written consent of the other parties hereto. Any attempt by a party to transfer or assign this Agreement or any of its rights, duties or obligations under this Agreement without such consent is void; provided, however, that a merger of, reinsurance arrangement by, or change of control of a party shall not be deemed to be an assignment for purposes of this Agreement. 27. CRMC and the Series agree that the names, addresses, and other information relating to the Contract owners or prospects for the sale of the Contracts developed by Insurance Company are the exclusive property of the Insurance Company and may not be used by CRMC, the Series, or their affiliates or agents without the written consent of the Insurance Company except for carrying out the terms of this Agreement or as otherwise provided for in this Agreement and any amendments thereto. Each party to this Agreement agrees to maintain the confidentiality of all information (including personal financial information of the customers of either party) received from the other party pursuant to this Agreement. Each party agrees not to use any such information for any purpose, or disclose any such information to any person, except as permitted or required by applicable laws, rules and regulations, including the Xxxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Act and any regulations promulgated thereunder. 28. Each party hereto shall cooperate with the other parties and all appropriate governmental authorities and shall permit authorities reasonable access to its books and records upon proper notice in connection with any investigation or inquiry relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Each party shall maintain and preserve all records in its possession as required by law to be maintained and preserved in connection with the provision of the services contemplated hereunder.

Each party represents that the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or board action, as applicable, by such party and when so executed and delivered this Agreement will be the valid and binding obligation of such party enforceable in accordance with its terms, and will not result in its violating any applicable law or breaching or otherwise impairing any of its contractual obligations. 31. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held or made invalid by a court decision, statute, rule or otherwise, the remainder of the Agreement shall not be affected thereby. 32. This Agreement and any amendment to it may be executed in one or more counterparts. All of those counterparts shall constitute one and the same agreement. 33. In the event of a dispute between the parties with respect to this Agreement, and in the event the parties are unable to resolve the dispute between them within 60 days from the date of the aggrieved party’s notice of its intent to press the dispute, then before any party shall undertake to litigate the dispute it shall be submitted to non-binding arbitration conducted expeditiously. One arbitrator is to be named by each party to the disagreement and a fifth arbitrator to be selected by the four arbitrators named by the parties. The expenses of such arbitration shall be paid by the non-prevailing party. The arbitrators’ findings may only recommend compensatory damages. Should any party not be satisfied with the arbitrators’ decision the parties may seek any other legal recourse. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed and attested as of the date first above written.
