Item 24. Persons controlled by or under Common Control with Registrant

AXA Equitable controls the Trust by virtue of its ownership of more than 95% of the Trust’s shares as of March 31, 2009. All shareholders of the Trust are required to solicit instructions from their respective contract owners as to certain matters. The Trust may also offer its shares to insurance companies unaffiliated with AXA Equitable, to other series of the Trust and to series of EQ Advisors Trust, a separate registered investment company managed by AXA Equitable.

On July 22, 1992, AXA Equitable converted from a New York mutual life insurance company to a publicly-owned New York stock life insurance company. At that time AXA Equitable became a wholly-owned subsidiary of AXA Financial, Inc. (“AXA Financial”). AXA Financial continues to own 100% of AXA Equitable’s common stock.

AXA is the largest shareholder of AXA Financial. AXA owns, directly or indirectly through its affiliates, 100% of the outstanding common stock of AXA Financial. AXA is the holding company for an international group of insurance and related financial services companies. AXA’s insurance operations include activities in life insurance, property and casualty insurance and reinsurance. The insurance operations are diverse geographically, with activities principally in Western Europe, North America, and the Asia/Pacific area and, to a lesser extent, in Africa and South America. AXA is also engaged in asset management, investing banking, securities trading, brokerage, real estate and other financial services activities principally in the United States, as well as in Western Europe and the Asia/Pacific area.

A Trustee, when acting in such capacity, shall not be personally liable to any Person, other than the Trust or a Shareholder to the extent provided in this Article VIII, for any act, omission or obligation of the Trust, of such Trustee or of any other Trustee; provided, however, that nothing contained herein or in the Delaware Act shall protect any Trustee against any liability to the Trust or to any Shareholder to which he would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of the office of the Trustee hereunder.

All persons extending credit to, contracting with or having any claim against the Trust or a particular Series shall look only to the assets of the Trust or such Series for payment under such contract or claim; and neither the Trustees nor any of the Trust’s officers, employees or agents, whether past, present or future, shall be personally liable therefor. Provided they have exercised reasonable care and have acted under the reasonable belief that their actions are in the best interest of the Trust, the Trustees and officers of the Trust shall not be responsible or liable for any act or omission or for neglect or wrongdoing of them or any officer, agent, employee, Manager, or Principal Underwriter of the Trust, but nothing contained in this Declaration of Trust or in the Delaware Act shall protect any Trustee or officer of the Trust against liability to the Trust or to Shareholders to which he or she would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his or her office.

Every note, bond, contract, instrument, certificate or undertaking and every other act or thing


whatsoever executed or done by or on behalf of the Trust or the Trustees by any of them in connection with the Trust shall conclusively be deemed to have been executed or done only in or with respect to his or their capacity as Trustee or Trustees, and such Trustee or Trustees shall not be personally liable thereon.

Section 2. Indemnification of Covered Persons. Every Covered Person shall be indemnified by the Trust to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware Act and other applicable law.

Section 3. Indemnification of Shareholder. If any Shareholder or former Shareholder of any Series shall be held personally liable solely by reason of his or her being or having been a Shareholder and not because of his or her acts or omissions or for some other reason, the Shareholder or former Shareholder (or his or her heirs, executors, administrators or other legal representatives or in the case of any entity, its general successor) shall be entitled out of the assets belonging to the applicable Series to be held harmless from and indemnified against all loss and expense arising from such liability. The Trust, on behalf of the affected Series, shall, upon request by such Shareholder, assume the defense of any claim made against such Shareholder for any act or obligation of the Series and satisfy any judgment thereon from the assets of the Series.

Article IX of the Agreement and Declaration of Trust of the Registrant states:

Section 5. Amendments. Except as specifically provided in this Section 5, the Trustees may, without Shareholder vote, restate, amend, or otherwise supplement this Declaration of Trust. Shareholders shall have the right to vote on (i) any amendment that would affect their right to vote granted in Article V, Section 1 hereof, (ii) any amendment to this Section 5, (iii) any amendment that may require their vote under applicable law or by the Trust’s registration statement, as filed with the Commission, and (iv) any amendment submitted to them for their vote by the Trustees. Any amendment required or permitted to be submitted to the Shareholders that, as the Trustees determine, shall affect the Shareholders of one or more Series shall be authorized by a vote of the Shareholders of each Series affected and no vote of Shareholders of a Series not affected shall be required. Notwithstanding anything else herein, no amendment hereof shall limit the rights to insurance with respect to any acts or omissions of Persons covered thereby prior to such amendment nor shall any such amendment limit the rights to indemnification referenced in Article VIII, Section 2 hereof as provided in the By-Laws with respect to any actions or omissions of Persons covered thereby prior to such amendment. The Trustees may, without shareholder vote, restate, amend, or otherwise supplement the Certificate of Trust as they deem necessary or desirable.

Article X of the By-Laws of the Registrant states:

Section 3. Advance Payment of Indemnifiable Expenses. Expenses incurred by an agent in connection with the preparation and presentation of a defense to any proceeding may be paid by the Trust from time to time prior to final disposition thereof upon receipt of an undertaking by, or on behalf of, such agent that such amount will be paid over by him or her to the Trust if it is ultimately determined that he or she is not entitled to indemnification; provided, however, that (a) such agent shall have provided appropriate security for such undertaking, (b) the Trust is insured against losses arising out of any such advance payments, or (c) either a majority of the Trustees who are neither Interested Persons of the Trust nor parties to the proceeding, or independent legal counsel in a written opinion, shall have determined, based upon a review of the readily available facts (as opposed to a trial-type inquiry or full investigation), that there is reason to believe that such agent will be found entitled to indemnification.

Limitation of Liability and Indemnification.

In no event shall AXA Equitable (or such third party) be liable for any indirect, incidental special or consequential losses or damages of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if AXA Equitable (or such third party) has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the action.


(b) Except to the extent that AXA Equitable may be held liable pursuant to Section 6(a) above, AXA Equitable shall not be responsible for, and the Trust shall indemnify and hold AXA Equitable harmless from and against any and all losses, damages, costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, payments, expenses and liabilities, including but not limited to those arising out of or attributable to:

(i) any and all actions of AXA Equitable or its officers or agents required to be taken pursuant to this Agreement;

(ii) the reliance on or use by AXA Equitable or its officers or agents of information, records, or documents which are received by AXA Equitable or its officers or agents and furnished to it or them by or on behalf of the Trust, and which have been prepared or maintained by the Trust or any third party on behalf of the Trust;

(iii) the Trust’s refusal or failure to comply with the terms of this Agreement or the Trust’s lack of good faith, or its actions, or lack thereof, involving negligence or willful misfeasance;

(iv) the breach of any representation or warranty of the Trust hereunder;

(v) the reliance on or the carrying out by AXA Equitable or its officers or agents of any proper instructions reasonably believed to be duly authorized, or requests of the Trust;

(vi) any delays, inaccuracies, errors in or omissions from information or data provided to AXA Equitable by data services, including data services providing information in connection with any third party computer system licensed to AXA Equitable, and by any corporate action services, pricing services or securities brokers and dealers;

(vii) the offer or sale of shares by the Trust in violation of any requirement under the Federal securities laws or regulations or the securities laws or regulations of any state, or in violation of any stop order or other determination or ruling by any Federal agency or any state agency with respect to the offer or sale of such shares in such state (1) resulting from activities, actions, or omissions by the Trust or its other service providers and agents, or (2) existing or arising out of activities, actions or omissions by or on behalf of the Trust prior to the effective date of this Agreement;

(viii) any failure of the Trust’s registration statement to comply with the 1933 Act and the 1940 Act (including the rules and regulations thereunder) and any other applicable laws, or any untrue statement of a material fact or omission of a material fact necessary to make any statement therein not misleading in a Trust’s prospectus;

(ix) except as provided for in Schedule B.III., the actions taken by the Trust, its Manager, its investment advisers, and its distributor in compliance with applicable securities, tax, commodities and other laws, rules and regulations, or the failure to so comply, and

(x) all actions, inactions, omissions, or errors caused by third parties to whom AXA Equitable or the Trust has assigned any rights and/or delegated any duties under this Agreement at the specific request of or as required by the Trust, its Funds, investment advisers, or Trust distributors.


The Trust shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential losses or damages of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits) even if the Trust has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the action, except when the Trust is required to indemnify AXA Equitable pursuant to this Agreement.

Number 12(a)(iv) of the Registrant’s Global Custody Agreement states:

(A) Customer shall indemnify and hold Bank and its directors, officers, agents and employees (collectively the “Indemnitees”) harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, fines, penalties, and expenses, including out-of-pocket and incidental expenses and legal fees (“Losses”) that may be incurred by, or asserted against, the Indemnitees or any of them for following any instructions or other directions upon which Bank is authorized to rely pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. (B) In addition to and not in limitation of the preceding subparagraph, Customer shall also indemnify and hold the Indemnitees and each of them harmless from and against any and all Losses that may be incurred by, or asserted against, the Indemnitees or any of them in connection with or arising out of Bank’s performance under this Agreement, provided the Indemnitees have not acted with negligence or engaged in willful misconduct. (C) In performing its obligations hereunder, Bank may rely on the genuineness of any document which it reasonably believes in good faith to have been validly executed.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be provided to trustees, officers and controlling persons of the Trust, pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, the Trust has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Trust of expenses incurred or paid by a trustee, officer or controlling person of the Trust in connection with the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding or payment pursuant to any insurance policy) is asserted against the Trust by such trustee, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Trust will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
