WHEREAS, the shares of beneficial interest/common stock of each Fund (“Fund”) are divided into several series of shares, each representing the interest in a particular managed portfolio of securities and other assets (each a “Portfolio”); and

WHEREAS, the Fund is registered as an open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and shares of the Portfolios are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”); and

WHEREAS, the Company has issued or will issue certain variable annuity contracts supported wholly or partially by the Account (the “Contracts”), and said Contracts are listed in Schedule A hereto, as may be amended from time to time by mutual written agreement; and

WHEREAS, the Account is duly established and maintained as a segregated asset account, duly established by the Company, to set aside and invest assets attributable to the aforesaid Contracts; and

WHEREAS, the Company intends to purchase shares in the Portfolios of the Funds listed in Schedule A hereto, as may be amended from time to time by mutual written agreement, on behalf of the Account to fund the aforesaid Contracts;

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

ARTICLE I. Sale of Fund Shares

1.1. Subject to Article IX hereof, the Distributor on behalf of the Funds agrees to make available to the Company for purchase on behalf of the Account, shares of the Portfolios, such purchases to be effected at net asset value in accordance with Section 1.3 of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Portfolios (other than those listed in Schedule A) in existence now or that may be established in the future will be made available to the Company only as the Fund may so provide, and (ii) the Board of the Fund (the “Board”) may suspend or terminate the offering of shares of any Portfolio or class thereof, if such action is required by law or by regulatory authorities having jurisdiction or if, 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, suspension or termination is necessary and in the best interests of the shareholders of such Portfolio.

1.2. The Distributor on behalf of the Funds shall redeem, at the Company’s request, any full or fractional Portfolio shares held by the Company on behalf of the Account, such redemptions to be effected at net asset value in accordance with Section 1.3 of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Fund may delay redemption of Fund shares of any Portfolio to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act, and any rules, regulations or orders thereunder.

1.3. Purchase and Redemption Procedures

(a) The Distributor on behalf of each Fund hereby appoints the Company as an agent of the Fund for the limited purpose of receiving and accepting purchase and redemption requests on behalf of the Account (but not with respect to any Fund shares that may be held in the general account of the Company) for shares of those Portfolios made available hereunder, based on allocations of amounts to the Account or subaccounts thereof under the Contracts and other transactions relating to the Contracts or the Account. Receipt and acceptance of any such request (or relevant transactional information therefore) on any day the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading and on which a Portfolio calculates its net asset value (a “Business Day”) pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), by the Company as such limited agent of the Fund prior to the time that the Fund ordinarily calculates its net asset value as described from time to time in the Fund’s prospectus shall constitute receipt and acceptance by the Portfolio on that same Business Day, provided that the Distributor or its designee receives notice of such request by 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time on the next following Business Day.

(b) The Company shall pay for shares of each Portfolio on the same Business Day that it notifies the Distributor, on behalf of each Fund of a purchase request for such shares. Payment for Portfolio shares shall be made in federal funds transmitted to the Fund or other designated person by wire to be received prior to the closing of the New York Stock Exchange, when the Fund determines its net asset value in accordance with its then current prospectus, (typically by 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on the Business Day the Fund is notified of the purchase request for Portfolio shares ( unless the Distributor on behalf of the Fund otherwise determines and so advises the Company to delay the date of payment, to the extent the Fund may do so under the 1940 Act). Upon receipt of federal funds so wired, such funds shall cease to be the responsibility of the Company and shall become the responsibility of the Fund.

(c) Payment for Portfolio shares redeemed by the Account or the Company shall be made by the Distributor or its designee in federal funds transmitted by wire to the Company or any other designated person after the close of the New York Stock Exchange when the Fund determines its net asset value in accordance with the Fund’s then current prospectus ( typically 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time), but in no event later than 6:00 p.m. Eastern Time, on the same Business Day the Distributor or its designee is properly notified of the redemption order of such shares, except that the Distributor on behalf of the Fund reserves the right to delay payment of redemption proceeds to the extent permitted under Section 22(e) of the 1940 Act and any rules thereunder, and in accordance with the procedures and policies of the Fund as described in the then-current prospectus.

(d) Any purchase or redemption request for Portfolio shares held or to be held in the Company’s general account shall be effected at the net asset value per share next determined after the Distributor or its designee’s receipt and acceptance of such request, provided that, in the case of a purchase request, payment for Fund shares so requested is received by the Distributor or its designee in federal funds prior to close of business for determination of such value, as defined from time to time in the Fund’s prospectus.

1.4. The Distributor shall use its best efforts to make the net asset value per share for each Portfolio available to the Company by 6:30 p.m. Eastern Time each Business Day, and in any event, as soon as reasonably practicable after the net asset value per share for such Portfolio is calculated, and shall calculate such net asset value in accordance with the Fund’s prospectus. If the Distributor provides the Company with materially incorrect share net asset value information, the Company on behalf of the Account, shall be entitled to an adjustment to the number of shares purchased or redeemed to reflect the correct share net asset value. Any material error in the calculation of the net asset value per share, dividend or capital gain information shall be reported promptly to the Company upon discovery. In the event that any such material error is the result of the gross negligence of the Fund, or its designated agent for calculating the net asset value, any administrative or other costs or losses incurred for correcting underlying Contract owner accounts shall be at the Distributor’s expense.

1.5. The Distributor shall use its best efforts to furnish notice (by wire or telephone followed by written confirmation) to the Company of any income dividends or capital gain distributions payable on any Portfolio shares by the record date, but in no event later than 6:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the ex-dividend date. The Company, on its behalf and on behalf of the Account, hereby elects to receive all such dividends and distributions as are payable on any Portfolio shares in the form of additional shares of that Portfolio. The Company reserves the right, on its behalf and on behalf of the Account, to revoke this election and to receive all such dividends and capital gain distributions in cash. The Distributor shall notify the Company promptly of the number of Portfolio shares so issued as payment of such dividends and distributions.

1.6. Issuance and transfer of Fund shares shall be by book entry only. Share certificates will not be issued to the Company or the Account. Purchase and redemption orders for Fund shares shall be recorded in an appropriate ledger for the Account or the appropriate subaccount of the Account.

1.7. (a) The parties hereto acknowledge that the arrangement contemplated by this Agreement is not exclusive; the Fund’s shares may be sold to other insurance companies and the cash value of the Contracts may be invested in other investment companies.

(b) The Company shall not, without prior notice to the Distributor (unless otherwise required by applicable law), take any action to operate the Account as a management investment company under the 1940 Act.

(c) The Company shall not, without prior notice to the Distributor (unless otherwise required by applicable law), induce Contract owners to change or modify the Fund or change the Fund’s investment adviser.

(d) The Company shall not, without prior notice to the Fund, induce Contract owners to vote on any matter submitted for consideration by the shareholders of the Fund in a manner other than as recommended by the Board.

1.8. The parties may agree, in lieu of the procedures set forth above in this Article 1, to place and settle trades for Fund shares through a clearing corporation. In the event that such a clearing corporation is used, the parties agree to abide by the rules of the clearing corporation.

1.9. The Company agrees to maintain records sufficient to identify the date and time of receipt of all transactions and shall make such records available upon request for examination by Distributor (and at Distributor’s expense) or its designated representative, at the request of the transfer agent or by appropriate governmental authorities. Under no circumstances shall Company change, alter or manipulate any transactions received by Company in good order.

1.10. Company represents that there are controls in place designed to prevent market timing.

ARTICLE III. Prospectuses and Proxy Statements; Voting

3.1. The Distributor shall provide the Company with as many printed copies of the current prospectus, current Statement of Additional Information (“SAI”), supplements, proxy statements, and annual or semi-annual reports of each Portfolio (for distribution to Contract owners with value allocated to such Portfolios) as the Company may reasonably request, with expenses to be borne in accordance with Schedule B hereof. If requested by the Company in lieu thereof, the Distributor shall provide such documents (including a print-ready PDF, or an electronic copy of the documents in a format suitable for printing and posting on the Company’s website, all as the Company may reasonably request) and such other assistance as is reasonably necessary in order for the Company to have prospectuses, SAIs, supplements and annual or semi-annual reports for the Contracts and the Fund printed together in a single document or posted on the Company’s web-site or printed individually by the Company if it so chooses.

3.6. If the Distributor and the Company agree to distribute Fund summary prospectuses to Contract owners pursuant to Rule 498 of the 1933 Act, as set forth in Schedule C of this Agreement, then each party to the Agreement represents and warrants that it complies with the requirements of Rule 498 and applicable SEC guidance regarding the Rule in connection therewith, and that it maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure that it can meet its obligations in connection with Fund summary prospectuses.

4.5. Upon request, the Distributor will provide to the Company at least one complete copy of all registration statements, prospectuses, SAIs, 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 Portfolios or their shares, promptly after the filing of such document(s) with the SEC or other regulatory authorities.

ARTICLE V. Fees and Expenses

5.1. The Fund has adopted a Rule 12b-1 Plan under which it makes payments to finance administrative, service, and distribution expenses with respect to certain Portfolios. The Distributor represents and warrants that the Fund’s Board, a majority of whom are not interested persons of the Fund, has approved such Rule 12b-1 Plan to finance administrative, service, and distribution expenses of the Fund’s Portfolios that are subject to a 12b-1 fee, and that any changes to the Fund’s Rule 12b-1 Plan will be approved, in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. In consideration of the performance of the distribution services as are from time to time agreed by the parties, which services the Company shall cause its affiliated broker-dealer (Security Distributors, Inc. (“SDI”)) and underwriter of the Contracts to perform, Distributor will pay SDI in accordance with the Funds’ then current Prospectus and/or SAI. Distributor shall calculate and pay the amount pursuant to this section no less frequently than calendar quarterly.

(i) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statements of any material fact contained in the registration statement, prospectus (which shall include a written description of a Contract that is not registered under the 1933 Act), or SAI for the Contracts or contained in the Contracts or sales literature for the Contracts (or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing), or arise out of or are based upon the omission or the alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, provided that this agreement to indemnify shall not apply as to any Indemnified Party if such statement or omission or such alleged statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Fund or the Distributor for use in the registration statement, prospectus or SAI for the Contracts or in the Contracts or sales literature (or any amendment or supplement) or otherwise for use in connection with the sale of the Contracts, or

SCHEDULE C

All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Agreement.

1.	For purposes of this Schedule C, the terms Summary Prospectus and Statutory Prospectus shall have the same meaning as set forth in Rule 498.

2.	The Distributor shall provide the Company with copies of the Summary Prospectuses and any supplements thereto in the same manner and at the same times as the Agreement requires that the Fund provide the Company with Statutory Prospectuses.

The Distributor on behalf of the Fund represents and warrants that the Summary Prospectuses and the web site hosting of such Summary Prospectuses will comply with the requirements of Rule 498 applicable to the Fund and its Portfolios. The Distributor on behalf of the Fund further represents and warrants that it has appropriate policies and procedures in place to ensure that such web site continuously complies with Rule 498.

The Distributor on behalf of the Fund agrees that the URL indicated on each Summary Prospectus will lead Contract owners directly to the web page used for hosting Summary Prospectuses and that such web page will host the current Fund documents required to be posted in compliance with Rule 498. The Distributor shall promptly notify the Company of any ongoing or continuous interruptions in availability of this web page.

The Distributor on behalf of the Fund represents and warrants that it will be responsible for compliance with the provisions of Rule 498(f)(i) involving Contract owner requests for additional Fund documents made directly to the Fund, the Distributor, or one of their affiliates. The Distributor on behalf of the Fund further represents and warrants that any information obtained about Contract owners pursuant to this provision will be used solely for the purposes of responding to requests for additional Fund documents.

6.	The Company represents and warrants that it will respond to requests for additional Fund documents made by Contract owners directly to the Company or one of its affiliates.

7.	The Company represents and warrants that any bundling of Summary Prospectuses and Statutory Prospectuses will be done in compliance with Rule 498.

At the Company’s request, the Distributor will provide the Company with URLs to the current Fund documents for use with Company’s electronic delivery of Fund documents or on the Company’s website. The Distributor will be responsible for ensuring the integrity of the URLs and for maintaining the Fund’s current documents on the site to which such URLs originally navigate to.

If the Fund determines that it will end its use of the Summary Prospectus delivery option, the Distributor or its designee will provide the Company with at least 60 days’ advance notice of its intent so that the Company can arrange to deliver a Statutory Prospectus in place of a Summary Prospectus. In order to comply with Rule 498(e)(1), the Distributor or its designee shall continue to maintain the Fund’s website in compliance with the requirements of this Agreement and Rule 498 for a minimum of 90 days after the termination of any such notice period.

10.	The parties agree that all other provisions of the Participation Agreement, including the Indemnification provisions, will apply to the terms of this Schedule C as applicable.

11.

The parties agree that the Company is not required to distribute Summary Prospectuses to its Contract owners, but rather use of the Summary Prospectus will be at the discretion of the Company. The Company agrees that it will give the Distributor sufficient notice of its intended use of the Summary Prospectuses or the Statutory Prospectus.
