AMENDMENT NO. 44 TO

PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT AMONG

TRANSAMERICA SERIES TRUST,

TRANSAMERICA LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY,

TRANSAMERICA FINANCIAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, AND

MONUMENTAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

The Participation Agreement, dated July 1, 1992, as amended (“Agreement”) among Transamerica Series Trust (the “Fund”), Transamerica Life Insurance Company (“Transamerica”), Transamerica Financial Life Insurance Company (“TFLIC”), and Monumental Life Insurance Company (“Monumental”), (herein collectively, “the Companies”), is hereby amended as follows:

 

1. A new Article XIV. is hereby added to the Agreement as follows:

Article XIV. Summary Prospectus

Should the Fund and the Companies desire to distribute the prospectuses of the funds within the Fund pursuant to Rule 498 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (“Rule 498”), the roles and responsibilities of the Parties to the Agreement (the “Parties”), for complying with Rule 498 and other applicable laws, are set forth as follows:

 

 

14.1

     For purposes of this Article XIV., the terms “Summary Prospectus” and “Statutory Prospectus” shall have the same meaning as set forth in Rule 498.
 

14.2

     The Fund shall provide, or cause to provide, the Companies with copies of the Summary Prospectuses in the same manner and at the same times as the Participation Agreement requires that the Fund provide the Companies with Statutory Prospectuses. If the Fund makes any changes to the Summary Prospectus by way of a filing pursuant to Rule 497, under the Securities Act of 1933, unless the Parties agree otherwise, the Fund shall, instead of providing the Companies with a revised Summary Prospectus, provide the Companies with a supplement setting forth the changes in the Rule 497 filing.
 

14.3

     The Fund shall be responsible for compliance with Rule 498(e).
 

14.4

     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 series. The Fund further represents and warrants that it has reasonable policies and procedures in place to ensure that such web site complies with Rule 498.
 

14.5

     The Fund agrees that the URL indicated on each Summary Prospectus will lead policyholders/contract owners directly to the web page used for hosting Summary Prospectuses (the “Landing Page”) and that such web page will host the current Fund and series’ documents required to be posted in compliance with Rule 498. The Fund shall promptly notify the Companies of any interruptions in availability of this Landing Page that last more than 24 hours. Such Landing Page will contain the investment options available under the Agreement.
 

14.6

     The Fund represents and warrants that it will be responsible for compliance with the provisions of Rule 498(f)(i) involving policyholder/contract owner requests for additional Fund documents made directly to the Fund. The Fund further represents and warrants that any information obtained about

 

1


       policyholders/contract owners pursuant to this provision will be used solely for the purposes of responding to requests for additional Fund documents.
 

14.7

     The Companies represent and warrant that they will respond to requests for additional fund documents made by policyholders/contract owners directly to the Companies or one of their affiliates.
 

14.8

     Companies represent and warrant that any binding together of Summary Prospectuses and/or Statutory Prospectuses will be done in compliance with Rule 498.
 

14.9

     If the Fund determines that it will end its use of the Summary Prospectus delivery option, the Fund will provide the Companies with reasonable advance notice of its intent.
 

14.10

     The Parties agree that the Companies are not required to distribute Summary Prospectuses to their policyholders/contract owners, but rather that the use of the Summary Prospectus will be at the discretion of the Companies. The Companies agree that they will give the Fund reasonable advance notice of their intended use of the Summary Prospectuses or the Statutory Prospectuses.
 

14.11

     The Parties agree that all other provisions of the Participation Agreement, including the Indemnification provisions, will apply to the terms of this Article XIV, as applicable.
