POTENTIAL MATERIAL CONFLICTS 7.1. The Trust agrees that the Board, constituted with a majority of disinterested trustees, will monitor each Portfolio of the Trust for the existence of any material irreconcilable conflict between the interests of the variable annuity contract owners and the variable life insurance policy owners of the Company and/or affiliated companies ("contract owners") investing in the Trust. The Board shall have the sole authority to determine if a material irreconcilable conflict exists, and such determination shall be binding on the Company only if approved in the form of a resolution by a majority of the Board, or a majority of the disinterested trustees of the Board. The Board will give prompt notice of any such determination to the Company. 7.2. The Company agrees that it will be responsible for assisting the Board in carrying out its responsibilities under the conditions set forth in the Trust's exemptive application pursuant to which the SEC has granted the Mixed and Shared Funding Exemptive Order by providing the Board, as it may reasonably request, with all information necessary for the Board to consider any issues raised and agrees that it will be responsible for promptly reporting any potential or existing conflicts of which it is aware to the Board including, but not limited to, an obligation by the Company to inform the Board whenever contract owner voting instructions are disregarded. The Company also agrees that, if a material irreconcilable conflict arises, it will at its own cost remedy such conflict up to and including (a) withdrawing the assets allocable to some or all of the 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 to a vote of all affected contract owners whether to withdraw assets from the Trust or any Portfolio and reinvesting such assets in a different investment medium and, as appropriate, segregating the assets attributable to any appropriate group of contract owners that votes in favor of such segregation, or offering to any of the affected contract owners the option of segregating the assets attributable to their contracts or policies, and (b) establishing a new registered management investment company and segregating the assets underlying the Policies, unless a majority of Policy owners materially adversely affected by the conflict have voted to decline the offer to establish a new registered management investment company. 7.3. A majority of the disinterested trustees of the Board shall determine whether any proposed action by the Company adequately remedies any material irreconcilable conflict. In the event that the Board determines that any proposed action does not adequately remedy any material irreconcilable conflict, the Company will withdraw from investment in the Trust each of the Accounts designated by the disinterested trustees and terminate this Agreement within six (6) months after the Board informs the Company in writing of the foregoing determination; provided, however, that such withdrawal and termination shall be limited to the extent required to remedy any such material irreconcilable conflict as determined by a majority of the disinterested trustees of the Board. 7.4. 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 Trust and/or the Participating Insurance Companies, as appropriate, shall take such steps as may be necessary to comply with Rule 6e-2 and 6e-3(T), as amended, and Rule 6e-3, as adopted, to the extent such rules are applicable; and (b) Sections 3.5, 3.6, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3 and 7.4 of this Agreement shall continue in effect only to the extent that terms and conditions substantially identical to such Sections are contained in such Rule(s) as so amended or adopted.
Termination for Material Breach If either Party (the “Non-Breaching Party”) believes that the other Party (the “Breaching Party”) has materially breached one or more of its obligations under this Agreement, then the Non-Breaching Party may deliver notice of such material breach to the Breaching Party specifying the nature of the alleged breach in reasonable detail (a “Default Notice”). Thereafter, the Non-Breaching Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement if the breach asserted in such Default Notice has not been cured within sixty (60) days after such Default Notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if such material breach, by its nature, cannot be remedied within such sixty (60) day cure period, but can be remedied over a longer period not expected to exceed one hundred and fifty (150) days, then such sixty (60) day period shall be extended for up to an additional ninety (90) days provided that the Breaching Party provides the Non-Breaching Party with a reasonable written plan for curing such material breach and uses Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cure such material breach in accordance with such written plan and (ii) if such material breach cannot be cured, but the effects of such material breach are not such that the Non-Breaching Party would be deprived of the material benefits the Non-Breaching Party would reasonably be expected to derive from this Agreement in the absence of such material breach, then the Non-Breaching Party shall not be entitled to terminate this Agreement on the basis of such material breach unless the Breaching Party has previously committed a substantially similar material breach of this Agreement. For clarity, a breach of Section 3.2.3 of this Agreement shall not, notwithstanding anything herein, fall within the exception in subpart (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence.
Termination upon Material Breach Material failure by a Party to comply with any of its obligations contained herein shall entitle the Party not in default to give to the Party in default written notice (a “Default Notice”) specifying the nature of the default in reasonable detail, requiring such defaulting Party to make good or otherwise cure such default, and stating the non-defaulting Party’s intention to terminate this Amended and Restated Research Agreement if such default is not cured. If such default is not cured within sixty (60) days after the date the Default Notice was sent, then the Party not in default shall be entitled, without prejudice to any other rights conferred on it by this Amended and Restated Research Agreement, and in addition to any other remedies available to it by law or in equity, to terminate this Amended and Restated Research Agreement by written notice of termination to the defaulting Party; provided, however, that if the Party receiving such Default Notice (the “Disputing Party”) has a reasonable basis for disputing that it is in default and such Party provides written notice thereof to the other Party before the expiration of such sixty (60) day cure period, then the Disputing Party shall have the right, prior to the expiration of such sixty (60) day period, to submit such dispute for resolution in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.7; provided further that in the event that as a result of such resolution, the Disputing Party is found to be in default and such default is not cured within forty-five (45) days after the date of such resolution, then the Party not in default shall be entitled, without prejudice to any other rights conferred on it by this Amended and Restated Research Agreement, and in addition to any other remedies available to it by law or in equity, to terminate this Amended and Restated Research Agreement by written notice of termination to the Disputing Party.
