Shares are offered pursuant to the then-current prospectus, including any supplements or amendments thereto and any summary prospectus, of each of the Funds (the “Prospectus”). To the extent that a Prospectus contains provisions that are inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, the terms of the Prospectus shall be controlling. We have the exclusive right to distribute shares of the Funds, including the Shares. As agent for the Funds, we hereby offer to sell Shares of the Funds to you, upon the following terms and conditions:

2.  The Funds have adopted Distribution and Servicing Plans (“Plans”) pursuant to which we, on behalf of each such Fund, will pay a fee to You equal, on an annual basis, of 0.25% of the Funds’ average daily net assets in Shares attributable to Your variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts (“Fee”) in accordance with the provisions of the Plans. We shall calculate and pay (or cause the Fund to pay) such compensation payable with respect to the Shares, if any, within 30 days of the end of the applicable quarter. The provisions and terms of these Funds’ Plans are described in their respective Prospectuses, and You hereby agree that we have made no representations to You with respect to the Plans of such Funds in addition to, or conflicting with, the description set forth in their respective Prospectuses.

3.  We may prospectively increase or decrease the Fee, in our sole discretion, at any time upon notice to You.

k. pay the expenses of obtaining information and providing explanations to variable annuity and variable life contract owners and wholesale and retail distributors of such contracts regarding

Fund investment objectives and policies and other information about the Funds, including the performance of the Funds;
