Trust Shares

2.1.         The Trust agrees to make available for purchase by the Company shares of the Portfolios and shall execute orders placed for each Account on a daily basis at the net asset value next computed after receipt by the Trust or its designee of such order. For purposes of this Section 2.1, the Company shall be the designee of the Trust for receipt of such orders from the Account and receipt by such designee shall constitute receipt by the Trust; provided that the Trust’s designated transfer agent receives notice of such order by 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time on the next following Business Day (“Trade Date plus 1”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall use its best efforts to provide the Trust’s designated transfer agent with notice of such orders by 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time on Trade Date plus 1. "Business Day" shall mean any day on which the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading and on which the Trust calculates its net asset value pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, as set forth in the Trust's prospectus and statement of additional information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board of Trustees of the Trust (hereinafter the "Board") may refuse to permit the Trust 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 their fiduciary duties under federal and any applicable state laws, necessary in the best interests of the shareholders of such Portfolio.

2.2.     The Trust agrees that shares of the Trust will be sold only to Participating Insurance Companies for their Variable Insurance Products and, in the Trust’s discretion, to qualified pension and retirement plans. No shares of any Portfolio will be sold to the general public.

2.3.       The Trust agrees to redeem for cash, on the Company's request, any full or fractional shares of the Trust held by an Account, executing such requests on a daily basis at the net asset value next computed after receipt by the Trust or its designee of the request for redemption. For purposes of this Section 2.3, the Company shall be the designee of the Trust for receipt of requests for redemption from each Account and receipt by such designee shall constitute receipt by the Trust; provided that the Trust’s designated transfer agent receives notice of such request for redemption on Trade Date plus 1 in accordance with the timing rules described in Section 2.1.

2.4.       The Company agrees that purchases and redemptions of Portfolio shares offered by the then current prospectus of the Trust shall be made in accordance with the provisions of such prospectus. The Accounts of the Company, under which amounts may be invested in the Trust are listed on Schedule A attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, as such Schedule A may be amended from time to time by mutual written agreement of all of the parties hereto.

2.5.      The Company will place separate orders to purchase or redeem shares of each Portfolio. Each order shall describe the net amount of shares and dollar amount of each Portfolio to be purchased or redeemed. In the event of net purchases, the Company shall pay for Portfolio shares on Trade Date plus 1. Payment shall be in federal funds transmitted by wire. In the event of net redemptions, the Portfolio shall pay the redemption proceeds in federal funds transmitted by wire by 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time on Trade Date plus 1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the payment of redemption proceeds on the next Business Day would require the Portfolio to dispose of Portfolio securities or otherwise incur substantial additional costs, and if the Portfolio has determined to settle redemption transactions for all shareholders on a delayed basis, proceeds shall be wired to the Company within seven (7) days and the Portfolio shall notify in writing the person designated by the Company as the recipient for such notice of such delay by 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time on Trade Date plus 1.

2.6.       Issuance and transfer of the Trust's shares will be by book entry only. Share certificates will not be issued to the Company or any Account. Shares ordered from the Trust will be recorded in an appropriate title for each Account or the appropriate subaccount of each Account.

2.7.       On each record date, the Administrator shall use its best efforts to furnish same day notice by 6:30 p.m. Eastern Time (by wire, telephone, electronic media or by fax) to the Company of any dividends or capital gain distributions payable on the Trust's shares. The Company hereby elects to receive all such dividends and capital gain distributions as are payable on the Portfolio shares in additional shares of that Portfolio. The Company reserves the right to revoke this election and to receive all such dividends and capital gain distributions in cash. The Trust shall notify the Company of the number of shares so issued as payment of such dividends and distributions.

2.8.       The Administrator shall make the net asset value per share of each Portfolio available to the Company on a daily basis as soon as reasonably practical after the net asset value per share is calculated and shall use its best efforts to make such net asset value per share available by 6:30 p.m. Eastern Time. In the event that the Administrator is unable to meet the 6:30 p.m. time stated immediately above, then the Administrator shall provide the Company with additional time to notify the Administrator of purchase or redemption orders pursuant to Sections 2.1 and 2.3, respectively, above. Such additional time shall be equal to the additional time that the Administrator takes to make the net asset values available to the Company.

2.9.      If the Administrator provides materially incorrect share net asset value information through no fault of the Company, the Company shall be entitled to an adjustment with respect to the Trust shares purchased or redeemed to reflect the correct net asset value per share as subsequently determined by the Administrator. The determination of the materiality of any net asset value pricing error shall be based on the Trust’s policy for correction of pricing errors (the “Pricing Policy”). The Company shall correct such error in its records and in the records prepared by it for Contract owners in accordance with information provided by the Administrator. Any material error in the calculation or reporting of net asset value per share, dividend or capital gain information shall be reported promptly upon discovery to the Company.

2.10         The Administrator shall provide information to the Company of the amount of shares traded and the associated cost per share (NAV) total trade amount and the outstanding share balances held by the Account in each Portfolio as of the end of each Business Day.

The Administrator shall also report to the Board on a quarterly basis whether the Company has reported any potential or existing material irreconcilable conflicts during the previous calendar quarter. 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.

8.3. If it is determined by a majority of the Board, or a majority of its disinterested trustees, 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 trustees), 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 Trust or any Portfolio and reinvesting such assets in a different investment medium, including (but not limited to) another Portfolio of the Trust, 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 these responsibilities will be carried out with a view only to the interests of Contract owners.

8.4. 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 Trust's election, to withdraw the affected Account's investment in the Trust 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 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 these responsibilities will be carried out with a view only to the interests of Contract owners.

8.5. For purposes of Sections 8.3 through 8.4 of this Agreement, a majority of the disinterested members of the Board shall determine whether any proposed action adequately remedies any irreconcilable material conflict, but in no event will the Trust be required to establish a new funding medium for the Contracts. The Company shall not be required by Section 8.3 through 8.4 to establish a new funding medium for the Contracts if an offer to do so has been declined by vote of a majority of Contract owners materially adversely affected by the irreconcilable material conflict.

8.6. If and to the extent that Rule 6e-2 and Rule 6e-3(T) under the 1940 Act are amended, or Rule 6e-3 is adopted, to provide exemptive relief from any provision of the 1940 Act or the rules promulgated thereunder with respect to mixed or shared funding (as defined in the Shared Funding Exemptive Order) on terms and conditions materially different from those contained in the Shared Funding Exemptive Order, then the Trust and/or the Participating Insurance Companies, as appropriate, shall take such steps as may be necessary to comply with Rules 6e-2 and 6e-3(T), as amended, and Rule 6e-3, as adopted, to the extent such rules are applicable.

- 10 -

8.7. Each of the Company and the Adviser shall at least annually submit to the Board such reports, materials or data as the Board may reasonably request so that the Board may fully carry out the obligations imposed upon them by the provisions hereof and in the Shared Funding Exemptive Order, and said reports, materials and data shall be submitted more frequently if deemed appropriate by the Board. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or the Company’s obligations under Section 8.2, the Company shall provide to the Administrator a written report to the Board no later than January 15^th of each year indicating whether any material irreconcilable conflicts have arisen during the prior fiscal year of the Trust. All reports received by the Board of potential or existing conflicts, and all Board action with regard to determining the existence of a conflict, notifying Participating Insurance Companies of a conflict, and determining whether any proposed action adequately remedies a conflict, shall be properly recorded in the minutes of the Board or other appropriate records, and such minutes or other records shall be made available to the Securities and Exchange Commission upon request.
