PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT

THIS AGREEMENT, effective as of the 7th day of September, 2010 by and among The Merger Fund VL, a Delaware statutory trust (the “Fund”), Westchester Capital Management, Inc., a New York corporation (the “Adviser”) and AGL Life Assurance Company (the “Company”), a Pennsylvania life insurance company, on its behalf and on behalf of each separate account set forth on Schedule A attached hereto as it may be amended from time to time (the “Separate Accounts”).

WHEREAS, the Fund is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), and is available to act as the investment vehicle for separate accounts established by insurance companies for life insurance policies and annuity contracts;

WHEREAS, the Fund intends to make available shares of the Fund (the “Shares”) to the Separate Accounts;

WHEREAS, the Adviser is registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, and serves as the investment adviser to the Fund;

WHEREAS, the Company is an insurance company which will issue the variable annuity and/or variable life insurance policies (the “Contracts”) which are funded through the Separate Accounts and which shall not be registered in reliance on certain exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”) and the 1940 Act;

WHEREAS, to the extent permitted by applicable insurance laws and regulations, the Company intends to purchase the Shares on behalf of the Separate Accounts to fund the Contracts; and

WHEREAS, the Fund has received an order from the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”) granting participating insurance companies as described therein and variable annuity separate accounts and variable life insurance separate accounts relief from the provisions of Sections 9(a), 13(a), 15(a), and 15(b) of the 1940 Act and Rules 6e-2(b)(15) and 6e-3(T)(b)(15) thereunder, to the extent necessary to permit shares of the Fund to be sold to and held by (i) separate accounts funding variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts issued by both affiliated and unaffiliated life insurance companies, (ii) qualified pension and retirement plans outside of the separate account context, (iii) separate accounts that are not registered as investment companies under the 1940 Act pursuant to exemptions from registration under Section 3(c) of the 1940 Act, (iv) the Adviser; and (v) any other person permitted to hold shares of the Fund pursuant to Treasury Regulation §1.817-5, including the general account of any life insurance company, or certain related corporations, whose separate account holds, or will hold, shares of the Fund (the “Mixed and Shared Funding Exemptive Order”).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of their mutual promises, the Fund, the Adviser and the Company agree as follows:

ARTICLE I. FUND SHARES

1.1. The Fund agrees to make the Shares available for purchase on each Business Day, as defined below, by the Separate Accounts. The Fund will execute orders placed for each Separate Account on a daily basis at the net asset value of the Shares next computed after receipt and acceptance by the Fund or its designee of such order.

A. For purposes of this Agreement, the Company shall be the designee of the Fund for receipt of orders from each Separate Account and receipt by the Company constitutes receipt by the Fund, provided that the Fund receives notice of orders by 9:30 a.m. (Eastern time) on the next following Business Day.

B. For purposes of this Agreement, “Business Day” shall mean any day on which the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading and on which the Fund calculates the net asset value of the Shares pursuant to the rules of the SEC, as set forth in the prospectus of the Fund.

C. Notwithstanding the foregoing, series of the Fund that may be established in the future will be made available to the Company only as the Adviser may so provide.

D. The Fund may net the notice of redemptions it receives from the Company against the notice of purchases it receives from the Company.

1.2. The Board of Trustees of the Fund (the “Board”), acting in good faith and in the exercise of its fiduciary responsibilities, may refuse to permit the Fund to sell Shares to any person, or suspend or terminate the offering of Shares if such action is required by law or by regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over the sale of Shares or is, in the sole discretion of the Board, acting in good faith and in light of its fiduciary duties under federal and any applicable state laws, in the best interests of the Fund’s shareholders.

1.3. The Fund agrees that Shares will be sold only to insurance companies for use in conjunction with variable life insurance policies or variable annuities. No Shares will be sold to the general public.

1.4. The Fund agrees to redeem for cash, upon the Company’s request, any full or fractional Shares held by the Company, executing such requests on a daily basis at the net asset value next computed after receipt and acceptance by the Fund or its agent of the request for redemption. Redemptions will be processed and payments will be made normally within one day after receipt of such redemption orders by the Fund or its designee. Payment will be made in federal funds transmitted by wire to the Company’s account as designated by the Company in writing from time to time. The Fund may suspend redemptions, if permitted by the 1940 Act, for any period during which the New York Stock Exchange is closed or during which trading is restricted by the SEC or the SEC declares that an emergency exists. Redemptions may also be suspended by the Fund during other periods permitted by the SEC for the protection of the Fund’s shareholders. The Fund will not bear any responsibility whatsoever for the proper disbursement or crediting of redemption proceeds; the Company alone will be responsible for such action.

A. For the purposes of this Agreement, the Company shall be the designee of the Fund for receipt of redemption requests from each Separate Account and receipt by the Company constitutes receipt by the Fund, provided that the Fund receives notice of the redemption request by 9:30 a.m. (Eastern time) on the next following Business Day.

1.5. The Company agrees that purchases and redemptions of Shares offered by the then current prospectus of the Fund shall be made in accordance with the provisions of such prospectus and in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations.

A. The Company will place separate orders to purchase or redeem Shares. Each order shall describe the net amount of Shares and dollar amount of Shares to be purchased or redeemed.

B. In the event of net purchases, the Company will pay for Shares on the same Business Day that the Fund receives notice of an order to purchase Shares. Payment will be made in federal funds transmitted by wire.

1.6. Issuance and transfer of the Shares will be by book entry only. Share certificates will not be issued to the Company or any Separate Account. Shares purchased will be recorded with an appropriate title for each Separate Account or the appropriate sub-account of each Separate Account. The Fund shall furnish to the Company the CUSIP number assigned to the Shares.

1.7. The Fund shall furnish the Company with same day notice of any dividends or capital gain distributions payable on the Shares, but by no later than 6:30 p.m. Eastern time on the declaration date (by wire or telephone, followed by written confirmation). The Company elects to reinvest all such dividends and capital gain distributions in additional Shares at the net asset value on the ex-dividend date. The Fund shall notify the Company of the number of Shares issued as payment of dividends and distributions. The Company reserves the right to revoke this election and to receive all such dividends and capital gain distributions in cash.

1.8. The Fund shall provide the net asset value per Share to the Company on a daily basis, as soon as reasonably practical after the net asset value per Share is calculated. The Fund shall use its best efforts to make such net asset value per Share available by 6:30 p.m. Eastern time. Information specified in this Section and Section 1.7 will be substantially in the form as set forth in Schedule C attached hereto.

A. If the Fund provides materially incorrect Share net asset value information through no fault of the Company, the Separate Accounts shall be entitled to an adjustment with respect to the Shares purchased or redeemed to reflect the correct net asset value per Share.

B. The determination of the materiality of any net asset value pricing error and its correction shall be based on the Fund’s procedures regarding these errors. Any material error in the calculation or reporting of net asset value per Share, dividend or capital gain information shall be reported promptly to the Company upon discovery. The Fund shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company against any amount the Company is legally required to pay Contract owners who have selected the Shares as an investment option, and which amount is due to the Fund’s or its agents’ material miscalculation and/or incorrect reporting of the daily net asset value, dividend rate or capital gains distribution rate. The Company shall submit an invoice to the Fund or its agents for such losses incurred as a result of the above which shall be payable within sixty (60) days of receipt. Should a material miscalculation by the Fund or its agents result in a gain to the Company, the Company shall immediately reimburse the Fund or its agents for any losses incurred by the Fund or its agents as a result of the incorrect calculation. Should a material miscalculation by the Fund or its agents result in a gain to Contract owners, the Company will consult with the Fund or its designee as to what reasonable efforts shall be made to recover the money and repay the Fund or its agents. The Company shall then make such reasonable effort, at the expense of the Fund or its agents, to recover the money and repay the Fund or its agents, but the Company shall not be obligated to take legal action against Contract owners.

With respect to the material errors or omissions described above, this section shall control over other indemnification provisions in this Agreement.

1.9. The Company may withdraw a Separate Account’s investment in the Fund only (i) as necessary to facilitate Contract owner requests; (ii) upon a determination by a majority of the Board, or a majority of disinterested Trustees, that a material irreconcilable conflict exists among (x) the interests of all Contract owners or (y) the interests of the insurance companies investing in the Fund; (iii) upon requisite vote of the Contract owners having an interest in the Shares; (iv) as required by state and/or federal laws or regulations or judicial or other legal precedent of general implication; (v) upon sixty (60) days’ advance written notice; or (vi) as permitted by an order of the SEC pursuant to Section 26(b) of the 0000 Xxx.

1.10. The parties acknowledge that market timing, short-term trading or excessive trading (hereinafter “Market Timing”) may be harmful to the Fund. The Company shall provide the Fund with each Contract owner’s policy number upon the purchase, redemption or transfer of Shares. The Fund and the Adviser reserve the right to revoke, reject or cancel purchase orders for Shares made by the Company that the Fund or the Adviser reasonably believe are attributable to holders of Contracts or their agents who engage in Market Timing.

The Fund and the Adviser shall not be responsible for any losses or costs incurred by the Company, a Separate Account or Contract holders as a result of the revocation, rejection or cancellation of orders in furtherance of the prevention of Market Timing.

ARTICLE VI. POTENTIAL CONFLICTS

6.1. The Board will monitor the Fund for the existence of any material irreconcilable conflict between the interests of the Contract owners of all separate accounts investing in the Fund. The Board shall promptly inform the Company if it determines that an irreconcilable material conflict exists and the implications thereof.

6.2. The Company will report any potential or existing material irreconcilable conflict of which it is aware promptly to the Board. The Company agrees to promptly provide the Board with all information reasonably necessary for the Board to consider any issues raised.

6.3. If it is determined by a majority of the Board, or a majority of its independent Trustees, that a material irreconcilable conflict exists due to issues relating to the Contracts, the Company will, at its expense and to the extent reasonably practicable, take whatever steps necessary to remedy or eliminate the irreconcilable material conflict, including, without limitation, withdrawal of the affected Separate Account’s investment in the Fund. No charge or penalty will be imposed as a result of such withdrawal, and the Company will carry out these responsibilities with a view only to the interests of Contract owners.

6.4. If a material irreconcilable conflict arises because a particular state insurance regulator’s decision applicable to the Company conflicts with the majority of other state insurance regulators, then the Company will, at its expense, withdraw the affected sub-account of the Separate Account’s investment in the Fund and terminate this Agreement with respect to such sub-account; provided, however, that such withdrawal and termination will be limited to the extent required by the foregoing material irreconcilable conflict as determined by a majority of the disinterested Trustees of the Board. No charge or penalty will be imposed as a result of such withdrawal. Any such withdrawal and termination must take place within six (6) months after the Fund gives written notice to the Company that this provision is being implemented. Until the end of such six-month period the Adviser and Fund will, to the extent permitted by law and any exemptive relief previously granted to the Fund, continue to accept and implement orders by the Company for the purchase (and redemption) of Shares.

6.5. The Company, at the request of the Adviser, will, 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 its obligations. All reports received by the Board of potential or existing conflicts, and all Board action with regard to determining the existence 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 SEC upon request.

6.6. For purposes of Sections 6.4 through 6.6 of this Agreement, a majority of the disinterested Trustees will determine whether any proposed action adequately remedies any material irreconcilable conflict, but in no event will the Fund be required to establish a new funding medium for the Contracts. The Company will not be required by Section 6.3 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 affected by the material irreconcilable conflict. In the event that the Board determines that any proposed action does not adequately remedy any material irreconcilable conflict, then the Company will withdraw the Separate Account’s investment in the Fund and terminate this Agreement within six (6) months after the Fund informs the Company in writing of the foregoing determination; provided, however, that such withdrawal and termination shall be limited to the extent required by any such material irreconcilable conflict as determined by a majority of the disinterested Trustees.

6.7. If and to the extent that Rule 6e-2 and Rule 6e-3(T) 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 Mixed and Shared Funding Exemptive Order) on terms and conditions materially different from those contained in the Mixed and Shared Funding Exemptive Order, then: (a) the Fund and the Company, as appropriate, will 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; and (b) the applicable Sections of this Agreement will continue in effect only to the extent that terms and conditions thereof are substantially identical to such Sections that are contained in such Rule(s) as so amended or adopted.

6.8. If and to the extent that the SEC promulgates new rules or regulations with respect to mixed or shared funding on terms and conditions materially different from those contained in the Mixed and Shared Funding Exemptive Order, then (a) the Fund and/or the participating insurance companies, as appropriate, shall take such steps as may be necessary to comply with such rules and regulations, as adopted, to the extent such rules are applicable; and (b) this Article VI shall be deemed to incorporate such new terms and conditions, and any term or condition of this Article VI that is inconsistent therewith, shall be deemed to be succeeded thereby.

ARTICLE VII. INDEMNIFICATION

7.1. Indemnification by the Company.

A. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Adviser and the Fund and each of their directors, trustees, officers, employees and agents and each person, if any, who controls or is associated with the Fund within the meaning of such terms under federal securities laws (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties” and individually, an “Indemnified Party” for purposes of this Section 7.1) against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities (including amounts paid in settlement with the written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) or expenses (including the reasonable costs of investigating or defending any alleged loss, claim, damage, liability or expense and reasonable legal counsel fees incurred in connection therewith) (collectively, “Losses”), to which the Indemnified Parties may become subject under any statute or regulation, or at common law or otherwise, insofar as such Losses are related to the sale or acquisition of the Shares or the Contracts and:

1. Arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any disclosure document, including any prospectus, statement of additional information or offering document, for the Separate Accounts, Contracts or in the Contracts themselves or in sales literature generated or approved by the Company applicable to the Contracts or Separate Accounts (or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing) (collectively, “Company Documents” for the purposes of this Article VII), or arise out of or are based upon the omission or the alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, provided that this indemnity shall not apply as to any Indemnified Party if such statement or omission or such alleged statement or omission was made in reliance upon and was accurately derived from written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Fund for use in Company Documents or otherwise for use in connection with the sale of the Contracts or Shares; or

2. Arise out of or result from statements or representations made by or on behalf of the Company (other than statements or representations contained in and accurately derived from the registration statement, prospectus, statement of additional information, sales literature or other written statement of the Fund applicable to the Fund (or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing) (collectively, “Fund Documents” for purposes of this Article VII)) or wrongful conduct of the Company or persons under its control, with respect to the sale or acquisition of the Contracts or Shares; or

3. Arise out of or result from any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in Fund Documents, or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading if such statement or omission was made in reliance upon and accurately derived from written information furnished to the Fund by or on behalf of the Company; or

4. Arise out of or result from any failure by the Company to provide the services or furnish the materials required under the terms of this Agreement; or

5. Arise out of or result from any material breach of any representation and/or warranty made by the Company in this Agreement or arise out of or result from any other material breach of this Agreement by the Company.

B. The Company shall not be liable under this indemnification provision with respect to any Losses which are due to an Indemnified Party’s willful misfeasance, bad faith, or gross negligence in the performance of such Indemnified Party’s duties or by reason of such Indemnified Party’s reckless disregard of obligations and duties under this Agreement or to the Fund or the Adviser, whichever is applicable.

C. The Company shall not be liable under the indemnification provisions of this Section 7.1 with respect to any claim made against an Indemnified Party unless such Indemnified Party shall have notified the Company in writing within a reasonable time after the summons or other first legal process giving information of the nature of the claim shall have been served upon such Indemnified Party (or after such Indemnified Party shall have received notice of such service on any designated agent), but failure to notify the Company of any such claim shall not relieve the Company from any liability which it may have to the Indemnified Party against whom such action is brought otherwise than on account of the indemnification provisions of this Section 7.1. In case any such action is brought against the Indemnified Parties, the Company shall be entitled to participate, at its own expense, in the defense thereof. The Company also shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to the party named in the action. After notice from the Company to such party of the Company’s election to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnified Party shall bear the fees and expenses of any additional counsel retained by it, and the Company will not be liable to such party under this Agreement for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such party independently in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation.

D. The Indemnified Parties shall promptly notify the Company of the commencement of any litigation or proceedings against them or any of their officers, directors or trustees in connection with the issuance or sale of the Shares or the Contracts or the operation of the Fund.

E. The indemnification provisions contained in this Section 7.1 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

7.2. Indemnification by the Adviser.

A. The Adviser agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and each of its directors, officers, employees and agents and each person, if any, who controls or is associated with the Company within the meaning of such terms under federal securities laws (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties” and individually, an “Indemnified Party” for purposes of this Section 7.2) against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities (including amounts paid in settlement with the written consent of the Adviser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) or expenses (including the reasonable costs of investigating or defending any alleged loss, claim, damage, liability or expense and reasonable legal counsel fees incurred in connection therewith) (collectively, “Losses”), to which the Indemnified Parties may become subject under any statute or regulation, or at common law or otherwise, insofar as such Losses are related to the sale or acquisition of the Shares or the Contracts and:

1. Arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Fund Documents or arise out of or are based upon the omission or the alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, provided that this indemnity shall not apply as to any Indemnified Party if such statement or omission or such alleged statement or omission was made in reliance upon and was accurately derived from written information furnished to the Fund or the Adviser by or on behalf of the Company for use in Fund Documents or otherwise for use in connection with the sale of the Contracts or Shares; or

2. Arise out of or result from statements or representations made by or on behalf of the Adviser (other than statements or representations contained in and accurately derived from Company Documents) or wrongful conduct of the Adviser or persons under its control, with respect to the sale or distribution of the Contracts or Shares; or

3. Arise out of or result from any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in Company Documents, or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading if such statement or omission was made in reliance upon and accurately derived from written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Adviser or the Fund; or

4. Arise out of or result from any failure by the Adviser to provide the services or furnish the materials required under the terms of this Agreement; or

5. Arise out of or result from any material breach of any representation and/or warranty made by the Adviser in this Agreement or arise out of or result from any other material breach of this Agreement by the Adviser.

B. The Adviser shall not be liable under this indemnification provision with respect to any Losses which are due to an Indemnified Party’s willful misfeasance, bad faith, or gross negligence in the performance of such Indemnified Party’s duties or by reason of such Indemnified Party’s reckless disregard of obligations and duties under this Agreement or to the Company or the Separate Account, whichever is applicable.

C. The Adviser shall not be liable under the indemnification provisions of this Section 7.2 with respect to any claim made against an Indemnified Party unless such Indemnified Party shall have notified the Adviser in writing within a reasonable time after the summons or other first legal process giving information of the nature of the claim shall have been served upon such Indemnified Party (or after such Indemnified Party shall have received notice of such service on any designated agent), but failure to notify the Adviser of any such claim shall not relieve the Adviser from any liability which it may have to the Indemnified Party against whom such action is brought otherwise than on account of the indemnification provisions of this Section 7.2. In case any such action is brought against the Indemnified Parties, the Adviser shall be entitled to participate, at its own expense, in the defense thereof. The Adviser also shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to the party named in the action. After notice from the Adviser to such party of its election to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnified Party shall bear the fees and expenses of any additional counsel retained by it, and the Adviser will not be liable to such party under this Agreement for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such party independently in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation.

D. The Indemnified Parties shall promptly notify the Adviser of the commencement of any litigation or proceedings against them or any of their officers or directors in connection with the issuance or sale of the Contracts or the operation of a Separate Account.

E. The indemnification provisions contained in this Section 7.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

7.3. Indemnification by the Fund.

A. The Fund agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and each of its directors, officers, employees and agents and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of such terms under federal securities laws (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties” and individually, an “Indemnified Party” for purposes of this Section 7.3) against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities (including amounts paid in settlement with the written consent of the Fund, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) or expenses (including the reasonable costs of investigating or defending any alleged loss, claim, damage, liability or expense and reasonable legal counsel fees incurred in connection therewith) (collectively, “Losses”), to which the Indemnified Parties may become subject under any statute or regulation, or at common law or otherwise, insofar as such Losses are related to the sale or acquisition of the Shares or the Contracts and:

2. Arise out of or result from statements or representations made by or on behalf of the Fund (other than statements or representations contained in and accurately derived from Company Documents) or wrongful conduct of the Fund or persons under its control, with respect to the sale or distribution of the Contracts or Shares; or

4. Arise out of or result from any failure by the Fund to provide the services or furnish the materials required under the terms of this Agreement; or

5. Arise out of or result from any material breach of any representation and/or warranty made by the Fund in this Agreement or arise out of or result from any other material breach of this Agreement by the Fund.

B. The Fund shall not be liable under this indemnification provision with respect to any Losses which are due to an Indemnified Party’s willful misfeasance, bad faith, or gross negligence in the performance of such Indemnified Party’s duties or by reason of such Indemnified Party’s reckless disregard of obligations and duties under this Agreement or to the Company or the Separate Account, whichever is applicable.

C. The Fund shall not be liable under the indemnification provisions of this Section 7.3 with respect to any claim made against an Indemnified Party unless such Indemnified Party shall have notified the Fund in writing within a reasonable time after the summons or other first legal process giving information of the nature of the claim shall have been served upon such Indemnified Party (or after such Indemnified Party shall have received notice of such service on any designated agent), but failure to notify the Fund of any such claim shall not relieve the Fund from any liability which it may have to the Indemnified Party against whom such action is brought otherwise than on account of the indemnification provisions of this Section 7.3. In case any such action is brought against the Indemnified Parties, the Fund shall be entitled to participate, at its own expense, in the defense thereof. The Fund also shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to the party named in the action. After notice from the Fund to such party of its election to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnified Party shall bear the expenses of any additional counsel retained by it, and the Fund will not be liable to such party under this Agreement for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such party independently in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation.

D. The Indemnified Parties shall promptly notify the Fund of the commencement of any litigation or proceedings against them or any of their officers or directors in connection with the issuance or sale of the Contracts or the operation of a Separate Account.

E. The indemnification provisions contained in this Section 7.3 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

7.4. Any party seeking indemnification (the “Potential Indemnitee”) will promptly notify any party from whom it intends to seek indemnification (each a “Potential Indemnitor”) of all demands made and/or actions commenced against the Potential Indemnitee which may require a Potential Indemnitor to provide such indemnification. At its option and expense, a Potential Indemnitor may retain counsel and control any litigation for which it may be responsible to indemnify a Potential Indemnitee under this Agreement.

7.5. With respect to any claim, the parties each shall give the others reasonable access during normal business hours to its books, records and employees and those books, records and employees within its control pertaining to such claim, and shall otherwise cooperate with one another in the defense of any claim. Regardless of which party defends a particular claim, the defending party shall give the other parties written notice of any significant development in the case as soon as practicable, and such other parties, at all times, shall have the right to intervene in the defense of the case.

7.6. If a party is defending a claim and indemnifying another party hereto, and: (i) a settlement proposal is made by the claimant, or (ii) the defending party desires to present a settlement proposal to the claimant, then the defending party promptly shall notify the Indemnified Party of such settlement proposal together with its counsel’s recommendation. If the defending party desires to enter into the settlement and the Indemnified Party fails to consent within thirty (30) Business Days (unless such period is extended, in writing, by mutual agreement of the parties hereto), then the Indemnified Party, from the time it fails to consent forward, shall defend the claim and shall indemnify the defending party for all costs associated with the claim which are in excess of the proposed settlement amount.

Regardless of which party is defending the claim: (i) if a settlement requires an admission of liability by the non-defending party or would require the non-defending party to either take action (other than purely ministerial action) or refrain from taking action (due to an injunction or otherwise) (a “Specific Performance Settlement”), the defending party may agree to such settlement only after obtaining the express, written consent of the non-defending party. If a non-defending party fails to consent to a Specific Performance Settlement, the consequences described in the last sentence of the first paragraph of this Section 7.6 shall not apply.

7.7. The parties shall use good faith efforts to resolve any dispute concerning this indemnification obligation. Should those efforts fail to resolve the dispute, the ultimate resolution shall be determined in a de novo proceeding, separate and apart from the underlying matter complained of, before a court of competent jurisdiction. Either party may initiate such proceedings with a court of competent jurisdiction at any time following the termination of the efforts by such parties to resolve the dispute (termination of such efforts shall be deemed to have occurred thirty (30) days from the commencement of the same unless such time period is extended by the written agreement of the parties). The prevailing party in such a proceeding shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs, and expenses.

ARTICLE VIII. FEES, COSTS AND EXPENSES

8.1. The Fund will pay no fee or other compensation to the Company under this Agreement, except the Fund may pay fees to the Company for administrative services provided to Contract owners that are not primarily intended to result in the sale of Shares or of underlying Contracts if and in such amounts agreed to by the Fund in writing. The Fund currently does not intend to make any payments to finance distribution expenses pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act or otherwise.

8.2. Except as otherwise provided in Schedule B, all expenses incident to performance by the parties of this Agreement will be paid by each party to the extent permitted by law.

ARTICLE IX. APPLICABLE LAW

9.1. This Agreement shall be construed and the provisions hereof interpreted under and in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

9.2. This Agreement, its terms and definitions, shall be subject to the provisions of the 1933 Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the 1940 Act, and the rules and regulations and rulings thereunder, including such exemptions from those statutes, rules and regulations as the SEC may grant.

ARTICLE X. TERMINATION

10.1. This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until the first to occur of:

A. Termination by any party for any reason upon six (6) months’ advance written notice delivered to the other parties; or

B. Termination by the Company by written notice to the Fund and the Adviser in the event the Shares are not registered, issued or sold in accordance with applicable state and/or federal law, or such law precludes the use of such Shares as the underlying investment medium of the Contracts issued or to be issued by the Company; or

C. Termination by the Company upon written notice to the Fund in the event that the Fund ceases to qualify as a “regulated investment company” under Subchapter M of the Code or under any successor or similar provision; or

D. Termination by the Company upon written notice to the Fund in the event that the Fund fails to meet the diversification requirements specified in Section 5.1 of this Agreement; or

E. Termination upon written agreement signed by all of the parties to this Agreement; or

F. Termination by the Fund, upon written notice to the other parties, upon institution of formal proceedings against the Company by FINRA, the SEC, the insurance commission of any state or any other regulatory body regarding the Company’s duties under this Agreement or related to the sale of the Contracts, the administration of the Contracts, the operation of the Separate Accounts, or the purchase of Shares, provided that the Board determines in its sole judgment, exercised in good faith, that any such proceeding would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement; or

G. Termination by any party to this Agreement, upon written notice to the other parties, upon another party’s material breach of any provision of this Agreement; or

H. Termination by the Company or the Fund upon receipt of any necessary regulatory approvals and/or the vote of the Contract owners having an interest in the Separate Accounts (or any sub-account) to substitute the shares of another investment company for the corresponding Shares in accordance with the terms of the Contracts for which those Shares had been selected to serve as the underlying portfolio. The Company will give sixty (60) days’ prior written notice to the Fund of the date of any proposed vote or other action taken to replace the Shares or of the filing of any required regulatory approval(s); or

I. Termination by the Fund upon written notice in the event any of the Contracts are not issued or sold in accordance with applicable federal and/or state law.

J. Termination by the Fund upon written notice that the Board has decided to (i) suspend or terminate the offering of Shares; or (ii) dissolve, reorganize, liquidate, merge or sell all assets of the Fund.

10.2. Effect of Termination.

A. Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, except a termination under Section 10.1(I) or 10.1(J), the Fund shall, at the option of the Company and for a period of one year from the date of termination and from year to year thereafter if deemed appropriate by the Fund and the Adviser in their sole discretion, continue to make available additional Shares pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, for all Contracts in effect on the effective date of termination of this Agreement (the “Existing Contracts”) unless such further sale of Shares is proscribed by law, regulation or applicable regulatory body. Specifically, without limitation, the owners of the Existing Contracts will be permitted to direct allocation and reallocation of investments in the Shares, redeem investments in the Shares and invest in Shares through additional purchase payments.

B. If the Fund so requests, the Company agrees, promptly after any termination of this Agreement, to take all steps necessary to redeem the investment of the Separate Accounts in the Shares within one year from the date of termination of the Agreement as provided in this Article X. Such steps shall include, but not be limited to, obtaining an order pursuant to Section 26(c) of the 1940 Act to permit the substitution of other securities for the Shares.

C. The parties understand and acknowledge that it is essential for compliance with Section 817(h) of the Code that the Contracts qualify as annuity contracts or life insurance policies, as applicable, under the Code. Accordingly, if any of the Contracts cease to qualify as annuity contracts or life insurance policies, as applicable, under the Code, or if the Fund reasonably believes that any such Contracts may fail to so qualify, unless the Company provides the Fund with an opinion from a nationally recognized tax counsel stating that the Contracts qualify as annuity contracts or life insurance policies, as applicable under the Code, the Fund shall have the right to require the Company to redeem Shares attributable to such Contracts upon ten (10) days’ written notice to the Company and the Company shall so redeem such Shares in order to ensure that the Fund complies with the provisions of Section 817(h) of the Code applicable to ownership of Fund shares. Notice to the Company shall specify the period of time the Company has to redeem the Shares or to make other arrangements satisfactory to the Fund and its counsel, such period of time to be determined with reference to the requirements of Section 817(h) of the Code. In addition, the Company may be required to redeem Shares pursuant to action taken or request made by the Board in accordance with an order of the SEC, or other SEC rule, regulation or order that may be adopted after the date hereof. The Company agrees to redeem Shares in such circumstances and to comply with applicable terms and provisions.
