MBSC Securities Corporation ("MBSC") on its behalf, and/or on behalf of one or
more of the Funds for which it serves as principal underwriter, and the
undersigned (the "Intermediary").
WHEREAS, MBSC and the Intermediary have previously entered into one or more of
the agreements (the "Agreement") set forth on Attachment A to this Supplemental
Agreement relating to certain funds ("Funds") for which MBSC is the principal
underwriter and distributor of Fund Shares (as defined below);
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained,
which consideration is full and complete, MBSC and the Intermediary hereby
agree as follows:
A. Definitions

principal underwriter and transfer agent. The term does not include any
"excepted funds" as defined in Rule 22c-2(b) under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act").
2. "Shareholder" shall mean, as applicable, (a) the beneficial owner of
Shares, whether the Shares are held directly by Shareholder or by the
Intermediary in nominee name; (b) a Plan participant notwithstanding
that the Plan may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of Shares; or
(c) the holder of interests in a Fund underlying a variable annuity or
variable life insurance contract.
3. "Written" communications include electronic communications and facsimile

B. Shareholder Information and Imposition of Trading Restrictions
1. Agreement to Provide Information. The Intermediary agrees to provide
promptly, but not later than 10 business days, to the Fund, upon Written
request, the taxpayer identification number ("TIN"), if known, of any or
all Shareholder(s) who have purchased, redeemed, transferred or
exchanged Shares held through an account with the Intermediary (an
"Account") during the period covered by the request 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. To the extent
practicable, the format for any transaction information provided to the
Fund should be consistent with the NSCC Standardized Data Reporting
Format.
1
(a) Period Covered by Request. Requests must set forth a specific period,
not to exceed 90 days from the date of the request, for which
transaction information is sought. The Fund may request transaction
data older than 90 days from the date of the request as it deems
necessary to investigate compliance with policies established by the
Fund for the purpose of eliminating or reducing dilution to the value
of the outstanding shares issued by the Fund.
(b) The Intermediary agrees to use best efforts to determine, promptly
upon request of the Fund, but not later than 10 days, whether any
person that holds Shares through the Intermediary is an "indirect
intermediary "as defined in Rule 22c-2 under the 1940 Act (an
"Indirect Intermediary"), and upon further request of the Fund,
(i) provide or arrange to have provided the information set forth in
paragraph (B)(1) of this Supplemental Agreement regarding
Shareholders who hold an account with an Indirect Intermediary; or
(ii) restrict or prohibit the Indirect Intermediary from purchasing
Shares on behalf of itself or other persons.
(c) MBSC agrees not to use the information received under this Section B
for marketing or any other similar purpose without the prior Written
consent of the Intermediary.
2. Agreement to Restrict Trading. The Intermediary agrees to execute
Written instructions from the Fund to restrict or prohibit further
purchases or exchanges of Shares by a Shareholder that has been
identified by the Fund as having engaged in transactions of Shares
(directly or indirectly through an Account) that violate the policies
established by the Fund for the purpose of eliminating or reducing any
dilution of the value of its Shares.
(a) Form of Instructions. Instructions provided to the Intermediary will
include the TIN, if known, and the specific restriction(s) to be
executed. If the TIN is not known, the instructions will include an
equivalent identifying number of the Shareholder(s) or account(s) or
other agreed upon information to which the instructions relates.
(b) Confirmation by the Intermediary. The Intermediary must provide
Written confirmation to the Fund that instructions have been
executed. The Intermediary agrees to provide the confirmation as soon
as reasonably practicable, but not later than 10 business days after
the instructions have been executed.
C. Late Trading Procedures. The Intermediary represents that it has adopted,
and will at all times during the term of the Agreement maintain, reasonable
and appropriate procedures designed to ensure that any and all orders to
purchase, redeem, transfer or exchange Shares received by the Intermediary
from Shareholders treated as received prior to the close of trading (the
"Close of Trading") on the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE")
2
(usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on a day the NYSE is open for business (a
"Business Day") are received by the Intermediary prior to the Close of
Trading on such Business Day and are not modified after the Close of Trading
and that all such orders received, but not rescinded, by the Close of
Trading are communicated to MBSC or its designee for that Business Day. Each
transmission of Share orders by the Intermediary shall constitute a
representation that such orders are accurate and complete and are as
received by the Intermediary by the Close of Trading on the Business Day for
which the orders are to be priced and that such transmission includes all
Share orders received from customers, but not rescinded, by the Close of
Trading.
D. Anti-Money Laundering Program Procedures. The Intermediary represents and
warrants that, to the extent required by applicable law, it has adopted
policies and procedures to comply with all applicable anti-money laundering,
customer identification, suspicious activity, currency transaction reporting
and similar laws and regulations including the Bank Secrecy Act, as amended
by the USA PATRIOT Act, and the regulations thereunder, and Financial
Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") Rule 3011. The Intermediary also
represents and warrants that it will not purchase or sell Shares on behalf
of any person on the list of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked
Persons maintained by the Office of Foreign Assets Control ("OFAC"), or
other similar governmental lists, or in contravention of any OFAC maintained
sanctions program. The Intermediary agrees to share information with the
Fund for purposes of ascertaining whether a suspicious activity report
("SAR") is warranted with respect to any suspicious transaction involving
Shares, provided that neither the Intermediary nor the Fund is the subject
of the SAR. The Intermediary, if required to maintain an anti-money
laundering program, also represents and warrants that it has filed the
requisite certification with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network
("FinCEN") to allow the Intermediary to share information pursuant to
Section 314(b) of the USA PATRIOT Act.
E. Privacy. Pursuant to Regulation S-P promulgated by the Securities and
Exchange Commission under the Xxxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Act ("Reg. S-P"), the
Intermediary agrees to deliver the Funds' then current consumer privacy
notice to any customer who purchases Shares from or through the
Intermediary, at or prior to the time of the initial purchase, if the
customer would be considered a "consumer" or "customer" (each as defined in
Reg. S-P) of the Fund(s).
F. Suitability Analysis. To the extent that the Intermediary makes a
recommendation to its customers regarding a transaction in Shares, the
Intermediary agrees that it is its responsibility to fulfill its obligations
under FINRA rules and to determine the suitability of any Shares as
investments for customers, and that MBSC has no responsibility for such
determination.
The Intermediary understands and acknowledges that the Funds may offer
Shares in multiple classes, and the Intermediary represents and warrants
that, to the extent the Intermediary is recommending transactions in Shares,
it has established compliance procedures designed to ensure that, in
offering more than one Share class of Funds to its customers, customers are
made aware of the terms of each class of Shares offered, to ensure that its
representatives recommend only Shares that are appropriate investments
3
for each customer, to ensure that the customer is availed of the opportunity
to obtain front-end sales charge discounts as detailed in the Funds'
prospectuses, and to ensure proper supervision of the Intermediary's
representatives in recommending and offering different classes of Fund
Shares to its customers.
G. Qualification of Shares in States. MBSC agrees to make available to the
Intermediary a list of the states or other jurisdictions in which Shares are
registered for sale or are otherwise qualified for sale, which may be
revised from time to time. The Intermediary will make offers of Shares to
its customers only in those states, and will ensure that the Intermediary
(including its associated persons) are appropriately licensed and qualified
to offer and sell Shares in any state or other jurisdiction that requires
such licensing or qualification in connection with the Intermediary's
activities. MBSC will promptly inform the Intermediary of any changes to the
list of states.
H. Status as an FINRA Member. To the extent that the Intermediary is a
broker-dealer or is otherwise subject to the Conduct Rules of the FINRA, the
Intermediary shall inform MBSC promptly of any pending or threatened action
or proceeding by the FINRA bearing on the Intermediary's membership with the
FINRA and of any suspension or termination of such membership. The
Intermediary further agrees to maintain all records required by applicable
laws or that are otherwise reasonably requested by MBSC in the event the
Intermediary's status as a member of the FINRA or the Securities Investor
Protection Corporation changes. The Intermediary recognizes that it will be
treated as a "non-member of the Association," as defined by Rule 2420 of the
FINRA Conduct Rules, during the period of any suspension of the
Intermediary's membership in the FINRA. Accordingly, no payments required by
FINRA regulations to be paid solely to a registered broker or dealer shall
be paid by MBSC while the Intermediary is suspended from the FINRA. Further,
any termination of the Intermediary's FINRA membership will automatically
terminate the Agreement without notice. In the event that the Agreement is
terminated as a result of the Intermediary ceasing to be a member of the
FINRA, or for any other reason as permitted by the Agreement, the
Intermediary agrees to work cooperatively with MBSC to effect an orderly
transition of customer assets if customer Shares are redeemed or
registrations transferred.
I. Miscellaneous
1. This Supplemental Agreement supersedes the terms of the Agreement and
any other agreement between the parties with respect to the provisions
covered herein. Except as modified herein, the Agreement and all other
agreements between the parties remain in full force and effect. The
invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision hereof shall not
affect the validity or enforceability of any other term or provision
hereto.
2. To the extent the Intermediary fails to comply with any provision of the
Agreement, MBSC may terminate the Agreement immediately upon providing
Written notice to the Intermediary.
4
3. All notices and other communications provided for under the terms of the
Agreement shall be given in writing and delivered by personal delivery,
by postage prepaid mail, or by facsimile or email.

attached thereto, may be amended by MBSC upon 15 days' prior notice to

Shares or the acceptance of any fee payable under the Agreement after

funds related to those shareholders;
WHEREAS, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding upon
the undersigned;
NOW, THEREFORE, the Fund and the Intermediary hereby agree as follows:
1. Agreement to Provide Shareholder Information. Intermediary agrees to provide
the Fund or its designee, upon written request, the taxpayer identification
number ("TIN"), the Individual/International Taxpayer Identification Number
("ITIN")*, or other government-issued identifier ("GII") and the Contract owner

* According to the IRS' website, the ITIN refers to the Individual Taxpayer

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 (SSN) from the Social Security Administration (SSA).
SEC Rule 22c-2 inadvertently refers to the ITIN as the International Taxpayer
Identification Number.

Agreement, as this Agreement is intended to be a supplement to the Fund
Participation Agreements. To the extent the terms of this Agreement
conflict with the terms of a Fund Participation Agreement, the terms of
this Agreement shall control.
10. Scope of Agreement. The Intermediary's obligation to execute such
written instructions as described in this Agreement shall not be
construed as an obligation by the Intermediary to administer the Fund's

contained in this Agreement, the parties agree to work together in good
faith to reach a commercially reasonable resolution.

termination of the Agreement shall be effective unless agreed to by both
parties in writing; provided, however, that if the Rule (or an successor

Information Sharing Agreement
This Information Sharing Agreement (the "Agreement"), entered into as of
February 1, 2008, by and between Royce Fund Services, Inc. ("RFS") and PHL
Variable Insurance Company ("Financial Intermediary"), confirms an agreement
between the parties for the sharing of transaction information relating to any
and all series of The Royce Fund and Royce Capital Fund (each a "Fund") that
may be offered by Financial Intermediary from time to time.
WHEREAS, Financial Intermediary and RFS, Royce & Associates, LLC and/or the
Fund have entered into either a Participation Agreement, Services Agreement,
Order Placement Procedures Agreement or similar agreement (each a
"Participation Agreement") whereby the Financial Intermediary is authorized to
receive orders for the purchase, exchange and redemption ("Orders") of shares
of certain of the Funds ("Shares") on behalf of the Financial Intermediary's
clients ("Clients");
WHEREAS, "Clients" shall also refer to (i) the beneficial owner of Shares,
whether the Shares are held directly or by the Financial Intermediary in
nominee name, (ii) participants in qualified employee benefit plan or plans
(each a "Plan") notwithstanding that the Plan may be deemed to be the
beneficial owner of Shares, and (iii) the holder of interests in a variable
annuity or variable life insurance contract issued by the Financial
Intermediary; and
WHEREAS, RFS has requested that Financial Intermediary enter into this
Agreement with respect to the implementation and compliance with SEC Rule 22c-2
under the 1940 Act.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual premises herein, the parties
hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:
1. Agreement to Provide Information. Financial Intermediary agrees to
provide to RFS or its designee, upon written request, the taxpayer
identification number ("TIN"), if known, of any or all Clients of the
account. Financial Intermediary also agrees to provide the number of
shares, dollar value, date, name or other identifier (including broker
identification number) of any investment professional(s) associated with
the Client(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
Financial Intermediary (Transaction Information") during the period
covered by the request.
Financial Intermediary agrees to transmit the requested Transaction
Information that is on its books and records to RFS or its designee promptly,
but in any event not later than five (5) business days, or as otherwise agreed
to by the parties, after receipt of a request. If the requested Transaction
Information is not on the Financial Intermediary's books and records, Financial
Intermediary agrees to (i) provide or arrange to provide to
the Fund the requested Transaction Information pertaining to shareholders who
hold accounts with an indirect intermediary; or (ii) if directed by RFS, block
further purchases of Shares from such indirect intermediary. In such instance,
Financial Intermediary agrees to inform RFS 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 RFS should be consistent
with the NSCC Standardized Data Reporting Format. For purposes of this
provision, an "indirect intermediary" has the same meaning as in SEC Rule 22c-2
under the 1940 Act.
2. Period and Frequency of Requests. Requests must set forth a specific
period, generally not to exceed 90 days from the date of the request,
for which Transaction Information is sought. RFS or its designee may
request Transaction Information older than 90 days from the date of the
request as it deems 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.
Fund requests for Transaction Information shall be made no more
frequently than quarterly except as the Fund deems 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.
3. Limitations on Use of Transaction Information-
(a) Limitations. RFS agrees to only use the Transaction Information for
the purposes of identifying Shareholders who may be violating the
Fund's policies and procedures with respect to dilution of the Fund's
value as contemplated by the Rule or to fulfill other regulatory or
legal requirements subject to the privacy provisions of Title V of
the Xxxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Act (Public Law 106-102) and comparable state
laws. RFS agrees that the Transaction Information is confidential and
that it will not share the Transaction Information externally, unless
the Intermediary provides the Fund with prior written consent to
share such Transaction Information.
(b) Breach of Confidentiality. If a party to this Agreement becomes aware
of any disclosure to an unauthorized third party of any non-public
personal financial information of a consumer provided or received by
Underwriter in response to a request for information pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement, such party promptly shall, at its expense:
(i) notify the Chief Privacy Officer or comparable staff person of
the other party; (ii) investigate the circumstances relating to such
actual or suspected unauthorized access, use or disclosure;
(iii) take commercially reasonable steps to mitigate the effects of
such unauthorized access, use or disclosure and to prevent any
reoccurrence; (iv) provide to the other
such information regarding such unauthorized access, use or
disclosure as is reasonably required for the other party to evaluate
the likely consequences and any regulatory or legal requirements
arising out of such unauthorized access, use or disclosure; and
(v) cooperate with the other party to further comply with all
relevant laws, rules and regulations.
(c) Transmissions of Transaction Information. RFS agrees that when
transmitting Transaction Information by facsimile or electronic
writing that the Transaction Information will be protected by
encryption, password, or some other form of secure transmission,
which will adequately protect the confidentiality of the Transaction
Information.
4. Agreement to Prohibit Trading. Financial Intermediary agrees to execute
written instructions from RFS to prohibit further purchases (including shares
acquired by exchanges) of Shares by a Client that has been identified by RFS or
its designee as having engaged in transactions in the Shares (directly or
indirectly through the Intermediary's account) that violates policies
established by the Fund.
5. Form of Instructions. Instructions must include the TIN, if known, and the
specific restriction(s) to be executed. If the TIN is not known, the
instructions must include an equivalent identifying number of the Client(s) or
account(s) or other agreed upon information to which instruction relates.
6. Timing of Response. Financial Intermediary agrees to execute instruction as
soon as practicable, but not later than five (5) business days, or as otherwise
agreed to by the parties, after receipt of the instructions by the Intermediary.
7. Confirmation of Financial Intermediary. Financial Intermediary must provide
written confirmation to RFS 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.
8. Scope of Agreement. The purpose of this Agreement is to share Transaction
Information with the Fund to allow the Fund to administer its own definition of
disruptive trading. The Financial Intermediary's obligations under this
Agreement are limited to providing Transaction Information and executing
prohibitions on trading when instructed to do so.
9. Participation Agreement. All of the provisions of the Participation
Agreement by and between RFS, Royce & Associates, LLC and/or the Fund and
Financial Intermediary shall remain in full force and effect. To the extent the
Participation Agreement and this Agreement are inconsistent, this Agreement
shall govern.
10. Term and Termination. This Agreement shall remain in effect until such time
as the Participation Agreement has been terminated and is no longer in effect
between the two parties, except to the extent that this Agreement is applicable
to Existing Contracts as defined by the Participation Agreement.
11. Assignment. There may be no assignment (as defined in the 0000 Xxx) of this
Agreement without the consent of the other party.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this Agreement to be executed
as of the date first above written.
