In addition. Distributor shall provide the Company with a sufficient quantity of prospectuses of the Funds to be used in conjunction with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. together with such additional copies of the Funds' prospectuses as may be reasonably requested by Company. If requested by the Company in lieu thereof. Distributor or its designee shall provide such documentation (including a "camera ready" copy of the new prospectus as set in type or. at the request of the Company, as a diskette in the form sent to the Funds' printer) and other assistance as is reasonably necessary in order for the parties hereto once each year (or more frequently if the prospectus for the Shares is supplemented or amended) to have the prospectus for the Contracts. prospectuses for other mutual funds in which the Contracts may be invested. and the Funds' new prospectus printed together in one document.

periodic fund reports and other materials of the Funds to the Company shall be paid by Distributor or

of materials in excess of what is deemed reasonable, request that the Company demonstrate the reasonableness of such usage. If the Distributor believes the reasonableness of such usage has not been adequately demonstrated. it may request that the Company pay the cost of printing (including press

time) and delivery of any excess copies of such materials.

shall properly complete any applications or other forms required by Distributor or the Funds' transfer agent from time to time.

(b)Distributor acknowledges that it will derive a substantial savings in administrative expenses, such as a reduction in expenses related to postage. shareholder communications and recordkeeping, by virtue of having a single shareholder account per Fund for the Accounts rather than having each Contract owner as a shareholder. In consideration of performance by the Company of the administrative services and performance of all other obligations under this Agreement by the Company, Distributor will pay the Company a fee (the "Administrative Services fee") equal to 20 basis points (0.20%) per annum of the average aggregate amount invested by the Company under this Agreement. commencing with the month in which the average aggregate market value of investments by the Company (on behalf of the Contract owners) in the Funds exceeds $10 million. No payment obligation shall arise until the Company's average aggregate investment in the Funds reaches S10million. and such payment obligation. once commenced, shall be suspended with respect to any month during which the Company's average aggregate investment in the Funds drops below $10 million.

(c)The parties understand that Distributor customarily pays. out of its management fee.

another affiliated corporation for the type of administrative services to be provided by the Company to the Contract owners. The parties agree that the payments by Distributor to the Company, like

Distributor's payments to its affiliated corporation. are for administrative services only and do not constitute payment in any manner for investment advisory services or for costs of distribution.

(d)For the purposes of computing the payment to the Company contemplated by this

Section 5, the average aggregate amount invested by the Accounts in the Funds over a one month

period shall be computed by totaling the Company's aggregate investment (share net asset value

multiplied by total number of shares of the Funds held by the Company) on each Business Day during the month and dividing by the total number of Business Days during such month.

(e)Distributor will calculate the amount of the payment to be made pursuant to this

Section 5 at the end of each calendar quarter and will make such payment to the Company within 30 days thereafter. The check for such payment will be accompanied by a statement showing the

calculation of the amounts being paid by Distributor for the relevant months and such other supporting data as maybe reasonably requested by the Company and shall be mailed to:

The Company has reviewed the conditions to the requested relief set forth in such application for exemptive relief. As set forth in such application, the Board of Directors of the Funds (the "Board") will monitor the Funds for the existence of any material irreconcilable conflict between the interests of the contract owners of all separate accounts

("Participating Companies") investing in the Funds. An irreconcilable material conflict may arise for a variety of reasons. including: (i) an action by any state insurance regulatory authority; (ii) 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 actions by insurance. tax or securities regulatory authorities; (iii) an administrative or judicial decision in any relevant proceeding: (iv) the manner in which the investments of any portfolio are being managed: (v) a difference in voting instructions given by variable annuity contract owners and variable life insurance contract owners: or (vi) a decision by an insurer to disregard the voting instructions of contract owners.

(b)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 arc disregarded.

(c)If a majority of the Board, or a majority of its disinterested Board members. determines that a material irreconcilable conflict exists with regard to contract owner investments in a Fund, the Board shall give prompt notice to all Participating Companies. If the Board determines that the

Company is responsible for causing or creating said conflict. the Company shall at its sole cost and expense, and to the extent reasonably practicable (as determined by a majority of the disinterested

Board members). take such action as is necessary to remedy or eliminate the irreconcilable material conflict. Such necessary action may include but shall nm be limited to:


(i)	withdrawing the assets allocable to the Accounts from the Fund and reinvesting such assets in a different investment medium or submitting the question of 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 contract owners, or variable contract owners of one or more Participating Companies) that votes in favor of such segregation. or offering to the affected contract owners the option of making such a change: and/or


(ii)	establishing a new registered management investment company or managed separate account.

(d) If a material irreconcilable conflict arises as a result of a decision by the Company to disregard its contract owner voting instructions and said decision represents a minority position or

would preclude a majority vote by all of its contract owners having an interest in the Funds, the

Company at its sole cost. may be required, at the Board's election, to withdraw an Account's

investment in the Funds and terminate this Agreement; 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.

(e) For the purpose of this Section 11, a majority of the disinterested Board members shall determine whether or not any proposed action adequately remedies any irreconcilable material conflict, but in no event will the Funds be required to establish a new funding medium for any Contract. The Company shall not be required by this Section 11 to establish a new funding medium for any Contract if an offer to do so has been declined by vote of a majority of the Contract owners materially adversely affected by the irreconcilable material conflict.

Contracts:

(a)at the option of either the Company. Distributor or the Manager upon six months'

(f)upon assignment of this Agreement unless made with the written consent of all other

parties hereto:
