NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of their mutual promises, the Company, the Fund, the Underwriter and the Adviser agree as follows:

ARTICLE I. Purchase and Redemption of Fund Shares

1.1. The Fund and the Underwriter agree to make available for purchase by the Company shares of the Portfolio(s) and shall execute purchase orders placed for each Account on each Business Day at the net asset value next computed after receipt by the Fund or its designee of such purchase order. For purposes of this Section 1.1, and for purposes of Rule 22c-1 under the 1940 Act, the Company shall be the designee of the Fund and the Underwriter for receipt of such purchase orders from each Account and receipt by such designee shall constitute receipt by the Fund; provided that such purchase orders are received and transmitted in accordance with the Operating Procedures attached hereto as Schedule D (the “Operating Procedures”). “Business Day” shall mean any day on which the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. is open for trading and on which the Fund calculates its net asset value pursuant to SEC rules.

1.2. The Fund, so long as this Agreement is in effect, agrees to make shares of the Portfolios available for purchase at the applicable net asset value per share by the Company and its Accounts on those days on which the Fund calculates its net asset value pursuant to SEC rules and the Fund shall use reasonable efforts to calculate such net asset value on each day that the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. is open for trading. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board of Trustees of the Fund (the “Board”) may refuse to permit the Fund 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 or is, in the sole discretion of the Board acting in good faith and in light of its fiduciary duties under federal and any applicable state laws, necessary in the best interests of the shareholders of such Portfolio.

1.3. The Fund and the Underwriter agree that shares of the Fund will be sold only to Participating Insurance Companies and their separate accounts and to certain qualified plans. No shares of a Portfolio will be sold to the general public.

1.4. The Fund and the Underwriter agree to redeem for cash, on the Company’s request, any full or fractional shares of the Portfolio(s) held by the Company, executing such redemption requests for each Account on each Business Day at the net asset value next computed after receipt by the Fund or its designee of the request for redemption. For purposes of this Section 1.4, and for purposes of Rule 22c-1 under the 1940 Act, the Company shall be the

designee of the Fund and the Underwriter for receipt of requests for redemption from each Account and receipt by such designee shall constitute receipt by the Fund; provided that such redemption requests are received and transmitted in accordance with the Operating Procedures.

1.5. The Company agrees 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. The Company will give the Fund, the Underwriter and the Adviser forty-five (45) days written notice of its intention to make available in the future any other investment company as a funding vehicle under the Contracts.

1.6. The Fund and the Company will settle all purchase and redemption orders transmitted pursuant to Sections 1.1 and 1.4 of this Agreement, respectively, in accordance with the Operating Procedures.

1.7. Issuance and transfer of the Fund’s shares will be by book entry only. Share certificates will not be issued to the Company or any Account. Shares ordered from the Fund will be recorded in an appropriate title for each Account or the appropriate sub-account of each Account.

1.8. The Company shall not redeem Fund shares attributable to the Contracts (as distinct from Fund shares attributable to the Company’s assets held in the Account) except (i) as necessary to implement Contract owner initiated or approved transactions, (ii) as required by state and/or federal laws or regulations or judicial or other legal precedent of general application (hereinafter referred to as a “Legally Required Redemption”) or (iii) as permitted by an order of the SEC pursuant to Section 26(c) of the 1940 Act. Upon request, the Company will promptly furnish to the Fund the opinion of counsel for the Company (which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Fund) to the effect that any redemption pursuant to clause (ii) above is a Legally Required Redemption. Furthermore, except in cases where permitted under the terms of the Contracts, the Company shall not prevent Contract owners from allocating payments to a Portfolio that was otherwise available under the Contracts without first giving the Fund ninety (90) days prior written notice of its intention to do so.

ARTICLE III. Prospectuses, Reports to Shareholders and Proxy Statements; Voting

3.1. The Fund or its designee shall provide the Company with as many printed copies of the Fund’s current prospectus and statement of additional information as the Company may reasonably request. If requested by the Company, in lieu of providing printed copies, the Fund shall provide camera-ready film or computer diskettes containing the Fund’s prospectus and statement of additional information, and such other assistance as is reasonably necessary in order

for the Company once each year (or more frequently if the prospectus and/or statement of additional information for the Fund is amended during the year) to have the prospectus or other disclosure document for the Contracts and the Fund’s prospectus (and statement of additional information for the Fund and the statement of additional information for the Registered Contracts) printed together in one document. Alternatively, the Company may print the Fund’s prospectus and/or its statement of additional information in combination with other fund companies’ prospectuses and statements of additional information.

3.2. Except as provided in this Section 3.2, all expenses of preparing, setting in type, printing and distributing Fund prospectuses and statements of additional information shall be the expense of the Company. For prospectuses and statements of additional information provided by the Company to the current owner of any Contract which provides for the allocation of purchase payments and Contract value to subaccounts investing in shares of a Portfolio (“Existing Contract Owners”), in order to update disclosure as required by the 1933 Act and/or the 1940 Act, the cost of printing shall be borne by the Fund. If the Company chooses to receive camera-ready film or computer diskettes in lieu of receiving printed copies of the Fund’s prospectus, the Fund shall bear the cost of typesetting to provide the Fund’s prospectus to the Company in the format in which the Fund is accustomed to formatting prospectuses, and the Company shall bear the expense of adjusting or changing the format to conform with any of its prospectuses or other disclosure documents. In such event, the Fund will reimburse the Company in an amount equal to the product of “x” and “y”, where “x” is the number of such disclosure documents distributed to Existing Contract Owners and “y” is the Fund’s per unit cost of printing the Fund’s prospectus. The same procedures shall be followed with respect to the Fund’s statement of additional information. The Company agrees to provide the Fund or its designee with such information as may be reasonably requested by the Fund to assure that the Fund’s expenses do not include the costs of printing, typesetting or distributing any prospectuses or statements of additional information other than the costs of printing those prospectuses or statements of additional information actually distributed to Existing Contract Owners.

3.3. The statement of additional information of the Fund shall be obtainable from the Fund, the Underwriter, the Company or such other person as the Fund may designate.

3.4. The Fund or its designee shall provide the Company with as many printed copies of the Fund’s current shareholder report as the Company may reasonably request. If requested by the Company, in lieu of providing printed copies the Fund shall provide camera-ready film or computer diskettes containing the Fund’s shareholder reports, and such other assistance as is reasonably necessary in order for the Company twice each year (once for the Fund’s semi-annual report and once for the Fund’s annual report) to have the reports for the Contract Owners and the Fund’s shareholder reports printed together in one document. Alternately, the Company may print the Fund’s shareholder reports in combination with other fund companies’ shareholder reports.

3.5. Except as provided in this Section 3.5, all expenses of preparing, setting in type, printing and distributing Fund shareholder reports shall be the expense of the Company. For Fund shareholder reports provided by the Company to the current owner of any Contract which

provides for the allocation of purchase payments and Contract value to subaccounts investing in shares of a Portfolio (“Existing Contract Owners”), in order to deliver such reports as required by the 1934 Act and/or the 1940 Act, the cost of printing shall be borne by the Fund. If the Company chooses to receive camera-ready film or computer diskettes in lieu of receiving printed copies of the Fund’s shareholder reports, the Fund shall bear the cost of typesetting to provide the Fund’s shareholder reports to the Company in the format in which the Fund is accustomed to formatting shareholder reports, and the Company shall bear the expense of adjusting or changing the format to conform with any of its reports to Contract Owners. In such event, the Fund will reimburse the Company in an amount equal to the product of “x” and “y”, where “x” is the number of such shareholder reports distributed to Existing Contract Owners and “y” is the Fund’s per unit cost of printing the Fund’s shareholder reports. The Company agrees to provide the Fund or its designee with such information as may be reasonably requested by the Fund to assure that the Fund’s expenses do not include the costs of printing, typesetting or distributing any shareholder reports other than the costs of printing those shareholder reports actually distributed to Existing Contract Owners.

3.6 The Fund, at its expense, shall provide the Company with copies of its proxy statements and other communications (except for prospectuses and statements of additional information that are covered in Section 3.1 and reports to shareholders that are covered in Section 3.4) to shareholders in such quantity as the Company shall reasonably require for distributing to Existing Contract Owners. The Fund shall not pay any costs of distributing such materials to prospective Contract owners.

3.7. If and to the extent required by law, the Company shall distribute all proxy materials furnished by the Fund to Contract owners to whom voting privileges are required to be extended and shall:

(i)

solicit voting instructions from Contract owners;

(ii)

vote the Portfolio shares in accordance with instructions received from Contract owners; and

(iii)

vote Portfolio shares for which no instructions have been received in the same proportion as Portfolio shares for which instructions have been received;

so long as and to the extent that the SEC continues to interpret the 1940 Act to require pass-through voting privileges for variable contract owners. The Company reserves the right to vote Portfolio shares held in any segregated asset account in its own right, to the extent permitted by law. If the Company is required to solicit voting instructions, the Fund and the Company shall follow the procedures, and shall have the corresponding responsibilities, for the handling of proxies and voting instruction solicitations, as set forth in Schedule C attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. Participating Insurance Companies shall be responsible for ensuring that each of their separate accounts participating in the Fund (and for which the soliciting of voting instructions is required) calculates voting privileges in a manner consistent

with the standards set forth on Schedule C, which standards will also be provided to the other Participating Insurance Companies.

3.8. The Fund will comply with all provisions of the 1940 Act requiring voting by shareholders, and in particular the Fund will either provide for annual meetings (except insofar as the SEC may interpret Section 16 of the 1940 Act not to require such meetings) or comply with Section 16(c) of the 1940 Act (although the Fund is not one of the trusts described in Section 16(c) of the 0000 Xxx) as well as with Section 16(a) of the 1940 Act and, if and when applicable, Section 16(b) of the 1940 Act. Further, the Fund will act in accordance with the SEC’s interpretation of the requirements of Section 16(a) of the 1940 Act with respect to periodic elections of directors and with whatever rules the SEC may promulgate with respect thereto.

ARTICLE IV. Sales Material and Information

4.1. The Company shall furnish, or shall cause to be furnished, to the Fund or its designee, each piece of sales literature or other promotional material in which the Fund, the Underwriter or the Adviser is named, at least ten (10) Business Days prior to its use.

4.2. The Company shall not give any information or make any representations or statements on behalf of the Fund or concerning the Fund in connection with the sale of the Contracts other than the information or representations contained in the registration statement or prospectus for the Fund shares, as such registration statement or prospectus may be amended or supplemented from time to time, or in reports or proxy statements for the Fund which are in the public domain or approved by the Fund for distribution to Fund shareholders, or in sales literature or other promotional material approved by the Fund or its designee, except with the permission of the Fund.

4.3. The Fund or its designee shall furnish, or shall cause to be furnished, to the Company or its designee, each piece of sales literature or other promotional material in which the Company and/or its Account(s) or Contract(s) are named at least ten (10) Business Days prior to its use. No such material shall be used if the Company or its designee reasonably objects to such use within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such material.

4.4. Neither the Fund, the Underwriter nor the Adviser shall give any information or make any representations on behalf of the Company or concerning the Company, each Account, or the Contracts, other than the information or representations contained in a registration statement, prospectus, offering memorandum or other disclosure document for the Contracts, as such documents may be amended or supplemented from time to time, or in reports or proxy statements for each Account which are in the public domain or approved by the Company for distribution to Contract owners, or in sales literature or other promotional material approved by the Company or its designee, except with the permission of the Company.

4.5. The Fund will provide to the Company at least one complete copy of all registration statements, prospectuses, statements of additional information, reports, proxy statements, sales literature and other promotional materials, applications for exemptions, requests for no-action letters, and all amendments to any of the above, that relate to the Fund or its shares and are relevant to the Company or the Contracts.

4.6. The Company will provide to the Fund, to the extent applicable, at least one complete copy of all registration statements, prospectuses, statements of additional information, offering memoranda or other disclosure documents, reports, solicitations for voting instructions, sales literature and other promotional materials, applications for exemptions, requests for no action letters, and all amendments to any of the above, that relate to investment in the Fund or the Portfolios under the Contracts.

4.7. For purposes of this Article IV, the phrase “sales literature or other promotional material” includes, but is not limited to, any of the following that refer to the Fund or any affiliate of the Fund: advertisements (such as material published, or designed for use in, a newspaper, magazine, or other periodical, radio, television, telephone or tape recording, videotape display, signs or billboards, motion pictures, or other public media), sales literature (i.e., any written communication distributed or made generally available to customers or the public, including brochures, circulars, research reports, market letters, form letters, seminar texts, reprints or excerpts of any other advertisement, sales literature, or published article), educational or training materials or other communications distributed or made generally available to some or all agents or employees, and registration statements, offering memoranda, prospectuses, statements of additional information or other disclosure documents, shareholder reports, and proxy materials.

ARTICLE V. Fees and Expenses

5.1. The Fund shall pay no fee or other compensation to the Company under this Agreement, except that if the Fund or any Portfolio adopts and implements a service plan and/or a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1, then the Underwriter may make payments to the Company or to the underwriter for the Contracts pursuant to such plans if and in amounts agreed to by the Underwriter in writing.

5.2. All expenses incident to performance by the Fund under this Agreement shall be paid by the Fund. The Fund shall see to it that all its shares are registered and authorized for issuance in accordance with applicable federal law and, if and to the extent deemed advisable by the Fund, in accordance with applicable state laws prior to their sale.

5.3. The Fund shall bear the expenses of distributing the Fund’s prospectus, statement of additional information, proxy materials and reports to owners of Contracts issued by the Company. Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, the Fund and the Company acknowledge that certain Contract owners are likely to be resident outside the United States at various times, and for those Contract owners, the Fund will bear higher expenses of distribution. Consequently, the Fund shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Company for its actual expenses of distribution hereunder to Contract owners living outside the United States to the extent that such actual expenses exceed the expenses the Fund would otherwise have incurred if those Contract owners were resident in the United States. At the end of each calendar quarter, the Company shall prepare and forward to the Fund a statement detailing the expenses that are subject to reimbursement under this Section 5.3. The Company shall reimburse the Fund in the amount of the statement within 30 days following the end of such calendar quarter.

ARTICLE VII. Potential Conflicts

7.1. The 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. 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 contract owners; or (f) a decision by a Participating Insurance Company to disregard the voting instructions of contract owners. The Fund shall promptly inform the Company if the Board determines that an irreconcilable material conflict exists and the implications thereof.

7.2. The Company will report any potential or existing conflicts of which it is aware to the Board. The Company will assist the Board in carrying out its responsibilities under the Shared Funding Exemptive Order by providing the Board with all information reasonably necessary for the Board to consider any issues raised. This includes, but is not limited to, an obligation by the Company to inform the Board whenever Contract owner voting instructions are disregarded. The Company agrees that these responsibilities will be carried out with a view only to the interests of Contract owners.

7.3. If it is determined by a majority of the Board, or a majority of its disinterested members, that a material irreconcilable conflict exists, the Company and other Participating Insurance Companies shall, at their expense and to the extent reasonably practicable (as determined by a majority of the disinterested directors), 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 policy owners, or variable contract owners of one or more Participating 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. No charge or penalty will be imposed as a result of such withdrawal. The Company agrees that it bears the responsibility to take remedial action in the event of a Board determination of an irreconcilable material conflict and the cost of such remedial action, and that these responsibilities will be carried out with a view only to the interests of Contract owners.

7.4. If a material irreconcilable conflict arises because of a decision by the Company to disregard contract owner voting instructions and that decision represents a minority position or would preclude a majority vote, the Company 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 (at the Company’s expense); 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 Board. No charge or penalty will be imposed as a result of such withdrawal.

The IRS issues ITINs to individuals who are required to have a U.S. taxpayer identification number but who do not have, and are not eligible to obtain a Social Security Number from the Social Security Administration.

PROXY VOTING PROCEDURES

The following is a list of procedures and corresponding responsibilities for the handling of proxies and voting instructions relating to the Fund. The defined terms herein shall have the meanings assigned in the Participation Agreement except that the term “Company” shall also include the department or third party assigned by the Company to perform the steps delineated below.

•

The proxy proposals are given to the Company by the Fund as early as possible before the date set by the Fund for the shareholder meeting to enable the Company to consider and prepare for the solicitation of voting instructions from Contract owners and to facilitate the establishment of tabulation procedures. At this time the Fund will inform the Company of the Record, Mailing and Meeting dates. This will be done verbally approximately two months before the shareholder meeting.

•

Promptly after the Record Date, the Company will perform a “tape run”, or other activity, which will generate the names, addresses and number of units which are attributed to each Contract owner/policyholder (the “Customer”) as of the Record Date. Allowance should be made for account adjustments made after this date that could affect the status of the Customers’ accounts as of the Record Date.

Note: The number of proxy statements is determined by the activities described in this Step #2. The Company will use its best efforts to call in the number of Customers to the Fund, as soon as possible, but no later than two weeks after the Record Date.

•

The Fund’s Annual Report must be sent to each Customer by the Company either before or together with the Customers’ receipt of voting instruction solicitation material. The Fund will provide the last Annual Report to the Company pursuant to the terms of Section 3.4 of the Participation Agreement to which this Schedule relates.

•

The text and format for the Voting Instruction Cards (“Cards” or “Card”) is provided to the Company by the Fund. The Company, at its expense, shall produce and personalize the Voting Instruction Cards. The Fund or its affiliate must approve the Card before it is printed. Allow approximately 2-4 Business Days for printing information on the Cards. Information commonly found on the Cards includes:

- name (legal name as found on account registration)

- address

- fund or account number

- coding to state number of units

- individual Card number for use in tracking and verification of votes (already on Cards as printed by the Fund).

C-1

(This and related steps may occur later in the chronological process due to possible uncertainties relating to the proposals.)

•

During this time, the Fund will develop, produce and pay for the Notice of Proxy and the Proxy Statement (one document). Printed and folded notices and statements will be sent to Company for insertion into envelopes (envelopes and return envelopes are provided and paid for by the Company). Contents of envelope sent to Customers by the Company will include:

- Voting Instruction Card(s)

- One proxy notice and statement (one document)

- return envelope (postage pre-paid by Company) addressed to the Company or its tabulation agent

- “urge buckslip” - optional, but recommended (this is a small, single sheet of paper that requests Customers to vote as

quickly as possible and that their vote is important; one copy will be supplied by the Fund.)

- cover letter – optional; supplied by Company and reviewed and approved in advance by the Fund

•

The above contents should be received by the Company approximately 3-5 Business Days before mail date. Individual in charge at Company reviews and approves the contents of the mailing package to ensure correctness and completeness. Copy of this approval sent to the Fund.

•

Package mailed by the Company.

The Fund must allow at least a 15-day solicitation time to the Company as the shareowner. (A 5-week period is recommended.) Solicitation time is calculated as calendar days from (but not including,) the shareholder meeting, counting backwards.

•

Collection and tabulation of Cards begins. Tabulation usually takes place in another department or another vendor depending on process used. An often used procedure is to sort Cards on arrival by proposal into vote categories of all yes, no, or mixed replies, and to begin data entry.

Note: Postmarks are not generally needed. A need for postmark information would be due to an insurance company’s internal procedure and has not been required by the Fund in the past.

•

Signatures on Card checked against legal name on account registration that was printed on the Card.

Note: For Example, if the account registration is under “Xxxx X. Xxxxx, Trustee,” then that is the exact legal name to be printed on the Card and is the signature needed on the Card.

C-2

•

If Cards are mutilated, or for any reason are illegible or are not signed properly, they are sent back to Customer with an explanatory letter and a new Card and return envelope. The mutilated or illegible Card is disregarded and considered to be not received for purposes of vote tabulation. Any Cards that have been “kicked out” (e.g. mutilated, illegible) of the procedure are “hand verified,” i.e., examined as to why they did not complete the system. Any questions on those Cards are usually remedied individually.

•

There are various control procedures used to ensure proper tabulation of votes and accuracy of that tabulation. The most prevalent is to sort the Cards as they first arrive into categories depending upon their vote; an estimate of how the vote is progressing may then be calculated. If the initial estimates and the actual vote do not coincide, then an internal audit of that vote should occur. This may entail a recount.

•

The actual tabulation of votes is done in units which is then converted to shares. (It is very important that the Fund receives the tabulations stated in terms of a percentage and the number of shares.) The Fund must review and approve tabulation format.

•

Final tabulation in shares is verbally given by the Company to the Fund on the morning of the shareholder meeting not later than 10:00 a.m. Eastern time. The Fund may request an earlier deadline if reasonable and if required to calculate the vote in time for the shareholder meeting.

•

A Certification of Mailing and Authorization to Vote Shares will be required from the Company as well as an original copy of the final vote. The Fund will provide a standard form for each Certification.

•

The Company will be required to box and archive the Cards received from the Customers. In the event that any vote is challenged or if otherwise necessary for legal, regulatory, or accounting purposes, the Fund will be permitted reasonable access to such Cards.

•

All approvals and “signing-off” may be done orally, but must always be followed up in writing.

SCHEDULE D

Operating Procedures

Unless otherwise defined below, all capitalized terms have the meanings specified in the Participation Agreement, each of which this Exhibit is a part.

FUND/SERV AND NETWORKING PROCEDURES

A. Fund/SERV Account Establishment. All parties hereto agree and acknowledge that the Company or its designee may not open or establish any new accounts through Fund/SERV or NSCC’s Networking system (“Networking”) without the prior written consent of the Fund. The Company further acknowledges that the Fund reserves the right to reject any new Fund/SERV or Networking accounts established by the Company that have not been previously approved by the Fund in writing.

B. Transmittal of Portfolio Information. With respect to each Portfolio, the Fund will provide the Company or its designee, via the NSCC’s Mutual Fund Profile System, with (i) the net asset value per share of the Portfolio (the “Share Price”) on each Business Day, determined as of the time specified in the Portfolio’s prospectus (“Close of Trading”); (ii) dividend and capital gains distribution information on ex-date, but no later than the first Business Day following each ex-date established for the payment of dividends or capital gains distributions by the Portfolio; and (iii) in the case of fixed income and money market Portfolios which declare dividends daily, the daily accrual interest rate factor. The Fund will use its best efforts to communicate such information to the Company or its designee via the NSCC’s Mutual Fund Profile System by 7:00 p.m. Eastern Time each Business Day; provided, however, that the Fund reserves the right to communicate the Share Price at a time later than 7:00 p.m. Eastern Time due to extraordinary or unforeseen circumstances.

C. Transmittal of Orders. The Company agrees that, unless otherwise agreed to in writing with the Fund, orders for the purchase, exchange or redemption of Fund shares (“Instructions”) received by the Company prior to the Close of Trading on any Business Day (“Day 1”) will be transmitted to the Fund’s transfer agent via Fund/SERV and accepted by Fund/SERV prior to 6:00 a.m. Eastern Time on the following Business Day (“Day 2”) (such orders are referred to as “Day 1 Trades”). Each transmission by the Company or its designee of a purchase, exchange or redemption order relating to a Business Day (“Order”) will constitute a representation by the Company that such Order was based on Instructions that the Company received and accepted as being in good order prior to the Close of Trading on that Business Day, and that the Order included all purchase, exchange and redemption Instructions so received by the Company.

In the event that Orders for any Business Day are not transmitted to the Fund via Fund/SERV and accepted by Fund/SERV prior to 6:00 a.m. Eastern Time on Day 2, the Company or its designee shall transmit such Orders to the Fund in accordance with the Manual Procedures below. If such Orders are not transmitted to the Fund in accordance with the Manual Procedures, the Fund reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to reject, reverse or re-price the

D-1

Orders (notwithstanding that the Company may have received Fund/SERV confirmation of the Orders) and the Company will be responsible for reimbursement of any loss sustained by the Fund that may arise out of the improper transmittal of such Orders.

All Orders transmitted to the Fund via Fund/SERV will be communicated in accordance with Fund/SERV rules, guidelines and procedures. The Company acknowledges that certain cash flows may be known on or before a trade date, and the Company agrees to use its reasonable efforts to notify the Fund of such cash flows before such trade date.

D. Fund/SERV Confirmation. All Orders transmitted in accordance with Section C of these Fund/SERV and Networking Procedures are subject to acceptance by the Fund and shall become effective only upon confirmation by the Fund. The Fund or its designee will transmit a confirmation via Fund/SERV that will set forth, for each T/A Account, the number of Portfolio shares purchased, exchanged and redeemed, the beginning and ending share balances, and the net asset value per share. The Fund reserves the right, in its sole discretion, (i) to reject any Order (notwithstanding that Company may have received Fund/SERV confirmation of the Order), and (ii) to require any Order to be settled outside of Fund/SERV, in which case the Fund shall not confirm such Order via Fund/SERV and such Order shall settle in accordance with the Manual Procedures discussed below.

E. Pricing of Orders. Day 1 Trades communicated to the Fund as provided under Section C of these Fund/SERV Procedures will be effected at the Share Price for the applicable Portfolio on Day 1.

F. Settlement. Day 1 Trades confirmed by the Fund via Fund/SERV will settle in U.S. dollars in accordance with the Fund’s profile within Fund/SERV applicable to the Company.

G. Dividends and Other Distributions. The Fund or designee will furnish the Company or its designee notice of any dividends or other distributions payable on the shares of each Portfolio via Networking. Dividends and distributions with respect to a Portfolio will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Portfolio held by the T/A Account(s) and the Fund or its designee will notify the Company or its designee, via Networking, as to the number of shares so issued.

H. Account Reporting and Verification. The Fund or its designee will transmit or make available to the Company, via Networking, a report containing any transactions or other activity occurring in a T/A Account on a Business Day, including any Fund/SERV transactions, and the share balance for each T/A Account in accordance with Fund/SERV’s Networking guidelines. The Company will promptly review and verify this information on Networking and promptly advise the Fund or designee in writing of any discrepancies between the Company’s records and the balance in the T/A Account(s).

If the Company chooses not to utilize Networking, the Fund or designee will deliver to the Company a physical statement for the preceding calendar month reflecting the shares of each Portfolio held by the T/A Account(s) as of the end of such preceding month and all purchases, exchanges and redemptions by the Company of shares of a Portfolio during such preceding

D-2

month. The Company will, promptly on receipt of any physical confirmation or statement concerning an Account, verify the information contained therein against the information contained on the Company’s record-keeping system and promptly advise the Fund in writing of any discrepancies between such information.

The Fund and the Company will cooperate to resolve any such discrepancies mentioned in this Section H as soon as reasonably practicable.

I. Processing Adjustments. In the event of any error or delay with respect to these Fund/SERV and Networking Procedures that is caused by the Fund or its designee, the Fund will make any adjustments on its (or its transfer agent’s) accounting system necessary to correct such error or delay. The Company will make the corresponding adjustments on its record-keeping system. The Company and the Fund will each provide the other with prompt notice of any errors or delays of the type referred to in these Fund/SERV and Networking Procedures.

J. Fund/SERV Unavailability. If the Fund/SERV and Networking systems are unavailable for any reason, or if it is otherwise impracticable to operate in accordance with these Fund/SERV and Networking Procedures, transactions shall be processed in accordance with the Manual Procedures below.

II. MANUAL PROCEDURES

A. Transmittal of Portfolio Information. With respect to each Portfolio, the Fund or it transfer agent will provide the Company with (i) the Share Price determined as of the Close of Trading on each Business Day; (ii) dividend and capital gains distribution information on ex-date, but no later than the first Business Day following each ex-date established for the payment of dividends or capital gains distributions by the Portfolio; and (iii) in the case of fixed income and money market Portfolios which declare dividends daily, the daily accrual interest rate factor. The Fund will use its best efforts to communicate, or have its transfer agent communicate, such information to the Company or its designee by 7:00 p.m. Eastern Time each Business Day; however, the Fund reserves the right to communicate the Share Price at a time later than 7:00 p.m. Eastern Time due to extraordinary or unforeseen circumstances.

B. Transmittal of Orders. The Company agrees that, unless otherwise agreed to in writing with the Fund, Instructions received by the Company prior to the Close of Trading on any Business Day (“Day 1”) will be transmitted to the Fund by facsimile no later than 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time on the following Business Day (“Day 2”) (such Orders are referred to as “Day 1 Trades”). Each transmission by the Company or its designee of a purchase, exchange or redemption order relating to a Business Day (“Order”) will constitute a representation by the Company that such Order was based on Instructions that the Company received and accepted as being in good order prior to the Close of Trading on that Business Day, and that the Order included all purchase, exchange and redemption Instructions so received by the Company.

All Orders transmitted to the Fund will be communicated in U.S. dollars and will indicate the date of the transaction. On Business Days where there are no Orders, or where the net dollar amount for purchases and redemptions for an Account equals zero, the communication will so indicate. The Company acknowledges that certain cash flows may be known on or before a trade

D-3

date, and the Company agrees to use its reasonable efforts to notify the Fund of such cash flows before such trade date.

C. Confirmation. All Orders transmitted in accordance with Section B of these Manual Procedures are subject to acceptance by the Fund and shall become effective only upon confirmation by the Fund, which confirmation shall be sent to the Company or its designee via facsimile. The Fund reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to reject any Order.

2. Redemption Orders. In the case of Day 1 Trades that constitute a net redemption (including exchanges) Order, the Fund or its designee will arrange for a federal funds wire transfer of the net redemption amount to a custodial account designated by the Company on Day 2, or in no instance later than the time provided for in the applicable Portfolio’s Prospectus.

3. Generally. Settlements will be in U.S. dollars. On any Business Day when the Federal Reserve Wire Transfer System is closed, all communication and processing rules will be suspended for the settlement of Orders. Orders will be settled on the next Business Day on which the Federal Reserve Wire Transfer System is open. Transactions that are the subject of such Orders will be processed at the Share Price for the applicable Portfolio on the Business Day to which the Orders originally relate.

F. Dividends and Other Distributions. The Fund or its designee will furnish the Company or its designee written notice of any dividends or other distributions payable on the shares of each Portfolio, via facsimile or other method agreed upon by the parties. Dividends and distributions with respect to a Portfolio will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Portfolio held by the T/A Account(s) and the Fund or designee will notify the Company or its designee as to the number of shares so issued.

G. Account Reporting and Verification.

The Company will make the corresponding adjustments on its accounting system. The Company and the Fund will each provide the other with prompt notice of any errors or delays of the type referred to in these Manual Procedures.
