Section 2. Processing Transactions

(b) LIFE COMPANY will use the data provided by AVIF each Business Day pursuant to paragraph (a) immediately above to calculate Account unit values and to process transactions that

receive that same Business Day’s Account unit values. LIFE COMPANY will perform such Account processing the same Business Day, and will place corresponding orders to purchase or redeem Shares with AVIF by 9:00 a.m. Central Time the following Business Day; provided, however, that AVIF shall provide additional time to LIFE COMPANY in the event that AVIF is unable to meet the 6:00 p.m. time stated in paragraph (a) immediately above. Such additional time shall be equal to the additional time that AVIF takes to make the net asset values available to LIFE COMPANY.

(c) With respect to payment of the purchase price by LIFE COMPANY and of redemption proceeds by AVIF , LIFE COMPANY and AVIF shall net purchase and redemption orders with respect to each Fund and shall transmit one net payment per Fund in accordance with Section 2.2, below.

(d) If AVIF provides materially incorrect Share net asset value information (as determined under SEC guidelines), LIFE COMPANY shall be entitled to an adjustment to the number of Shares purchased or redeemed to reflect the correct net asset value per Share. Any material error in the calculation or reporting of net asset value per Share, dividend or capital gain information shall be reported promptly upon discovery to LIFE COMPANY. Materiality and reprocessing cost reimbursement shall be determined in accordance with standards established by the Parties as provided in Schedule B, attached hereto and incorporated herein (except that for any money market fund, materiality shall be determined in a manner consistent with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act).

2.2 Timely Payments

LIFE COMPANY will wire payment for net purchases to a custodial account designated by AVIF by 1:00 p.m. Central Time on the same day as the order for Shares is placed, to the extent practicable. AVIF will wire payment for net redemptions to an account designated by LIFE COMPANY by 1:00 p.m. Central Time on the same day as the Order is placed, to the extent practicable, but in any event within five (5) calendar days after the date the order is placed in order to enable LIFE COMPANY to pay redemption proceeds within the time specified in Section 22(e) of the 1940 Act or such shorter period of time as may be required by law.

(a) Share purchase payments and redemption orders that result from purchase payments, premium payments, surrenders and other transactions under Contracts (collectively, “Contract transactions”) and that LIFE COMPANY receives prior to the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (or such other time set by the Board for purposes of determining the current net asset value of a Fund in accordance with Rule 22c-1 under the ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇) on a Business Day will be executed at the net asset values of the appropriate Funds next computed after receipt by AVIF or its designated agent of the orders. For purposes of this Section 2.3(a), LIFE COMPANY shall be the designated agent of AVIF for receipt of orders relating to Contract transactions, in accordance with Section 22(c) and Rule 22c-1 under the 1940 Act, on each Business Day and receipt by such designated agent shall constitute receipt by AVIF ; provided that AVIF receives notice of such orders by 9:00 a.m. Central Time on the next following Business Day or such later time as computed in accordance with Section 2.1(b) hereof. In connection with this Section 2.3(a), LIFE COMPANY

represents and warrants that it will not submit any order for Shares or engage in any practice, nor will it allow or suffer any person acting on its behalf to submit any order for Shares or engage in any practice, that would violate or cause a violation of applicable law or regulation including, without limitation Section 22 of the 1940 Act and the rules thereunder.

(b) All other Share purchases and redemptions by LIFE COMPANY will be effected at the net asset values of the appropriate Funds next computed after receipt by AVIF or its designated agent of the order therefor, and such orders will be irrevocable.

(c) Without limiting the scope or effect of Section 1.1 hereof, pursuant to which the Board may reject a Share purchase order by or on behalf of LIFE COMPANY under the circumstances described therein, LIFE COMPANY and UNDERWRITER agree to cooperate with the Fund and INVESCO to prevent any person exercising, or purporting to exercise, rights or privileges under one or more Contracts (including, but not limited to Contract owners, annuitants, insureds or participants, as the case may be (collectively, “Participants”)) from engaging in any trading practices in any Fund that the Board or INVESCO determines, in good faith and in their sole discretion, to be detrimental or potentially detrimental to the other shareholders of the Fund, or to be in contravention of any applicable law or regulation including, without limitation, Section 22 of the 1940 Act and the rules thereunder. Such cooperation may include, but shall not be limited to, identifying the person or persons engaging in such trading practices, facilitating the imposition of any applicable redemption fee on such person or persons, limiting the telephonic or electronic trading privileges of such person or persons, and taking such other remedial steps, all to the extent permitted or required by applicable law.

LIFE COMPANY reserves the right to revoke this election and to receive all such income dividends and capital gain distributions in cash.

	(v)		any written materials to be submitted by LIFE COMPANY to the IRS, any Participant or any other claimant in connection with any of the foregoing proceedings or contests (including, without limitation, any such materials to be submitted to the IRS pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.817-5(a)(2)), (a) shall be provided by LIFE COMPANY to AVIF (together with any supporting information or analysis); subject to the confidentiality provisions of Section 18, at least ten (10) business days or such shorter period to which the Parties hereto agree prior to the day on which such proposed materials are to be submitted, and (b) shall not be submitted by LIFE COMPANY to any such person without the express written consent of AVIF which shall not be unreasonably withheld;

	(vi)		LIFE COMPANY shall provide AVIF or its affiliates and their accounting and legal advisors with such cooperation as AVIF shall reasonably request (including, without limitation, by permitting AVIF and its accounting and legal advisors to review the relevant books and records of LIFE COMPANY) in order to facilitate review by AVIF or its advisors of any written submissions provided to it pursuant to the preceding clause or its assessment of the validity or amount of any claim against its arising from such a failure or alleged failure;

	(vii)		LIFE COMPANY shall not with respect to any claim of the IRS or any Participant that would give rise to a claim against AVIF or its affiliates (a) compromise or settle any claim, (b) accept any adjustment on audit, or (c) forego any allowable administrative or judicial appeals, without the express written consent of AVIF or its affiliates, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, provided that LIFE COMPANY shall not be required, after exhausting all administrative remedies, to appeal any adverse judicial decision unless AVIF or its affiliates shall have provided an opinion of independent counsel to the effect that a reasonable basis exists for taking

			such appeal; and provided further that the costs of any such appeal shall be borne equally by the Parties hereto; and

	(viii)		AVIF and its affiliates shall have no liability as a result of such failure or alleged failure if LIFE COMPANY fails to comply with any of the foregoing clauses (i) through (vii), and such failure could be shown to have materially contributed to the liability.

Should AVIF or any of its affiliates refuse to give its written consent to any compromise or settlement of any claim or liability hereunder, LIFE COMPANY may, in its discretion, authorize AVIF or its affiliates to act in the name of LIFE COMPANY in, and to control the conduct of, such conferences, discussions, proceedings, contests or appeals and all administrative or judicial appeals thereof, and in that event AVIF or its affiliates shall bear the fees and expenses associated with the conduct of the proceedings that it is so authorized to control; provided, that in no event shall LIFE COMPANY have any liability resulting from AVIF’s refusal to accept the proposed settlement or compromise with respect to any failure caused by AVIF. As used in this Agreement, the term “affiliates” shall have the same meaning as “affiliated person” as defined in Section 2(a)(3) of the 1940 Act.

(d) LIFE COMPANY represents and warrants that the Contracts currently are and will be treated as annuity contracts or life insurance contracts under applicable provisions of the Code and that it will use its best efforts to maintain such treatment; LIFE COMPANY will notify AVIF immediately upon having a reasonable basis for believing that any of the Contracts have ceased to be so treated or that they might not be so treated in the future.

Section 5. Mixed and Shared Funding

5.1 General

The SEC has granted an order to AVIF exempting it from certain provisions of the 1940 Act and rules thereunder so that AVIF may be available for investment by certain other entities,

including, without limitation, separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts or variable life insurance contracts, separate accounts of insurance companies unaffiliated with LIFE COMPANY, and trustees of qualified pension and retirement plans (collectively, “Mixed and Shared Funding”). The Parties recognize that the SEC has imposed terms and conditions for such orders that are substantially identical to many of the provisions of this Section 5. Sections 5.2 through 5.8 below shall apply pursuant to the exemptive order granted to AVIF. AVIF hereby notifies LIFE COMPANY that, in the event that AVIF implements Mixed and Shared Funding, it may be appropriate to include in the prospectus pursuant to which a Contract is offered disclosure regarding the potential risks of Mixed and Shared Funding.

AVIF agrees that its Board shall at all times consist of trustees a majority of whom (the “Disinterested Trustees”) are not interested persons of AVIF within the meaning of Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act and the rules thereunder and as modified by any applicable orders of the SEC, except that if this condition is not met by reason of the death, disqualification, or bona fide resignation of any director, then the operation of this condition shall be suspended (a) for a period of forty-five (45) days if the vacancy or vacancies may be filled by the Board; (b) for a period of sixty (60) days if a vote of shareholders is required to fill the vacancy or vacancies or (c) for such longer period as the SEC may prescribe by order upon application.

LIFE COMPANY agrees to inform the Board of AVIF of the existence of or any potential for any such material irreconcilable conflict of which it is aware. The concept of a “material irreconcilable conflict” is not defined by the 1940 Act or the rules thereunder, but the Parties recognize that such a conflict may arise for a variety of reasons, including, without limitation:

(a) an action by any state insurance or other regulatory authority;

(b) 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 action by insurance, tax or securities regulatory authorities;

(d) the manner in which the investments of any Fund are being managed;

(e) a difference in voting instructions given by variable annuity contract and variable life insurance contract Participants or by Participants of different Participating Insurance Companies;

(f) a decision by a Participating Insurance Company to disregard the voting instructions of Participants; or

(g) a decision by a Participating Plan to disregard the voting instructions of Plan participants.

Consistent with the SEC’s requirements in connection with exemptive orders of the type referred to in Section 5.1 hereof, LIFE COMPANY will assist the Board in carrying out its responsibilities by providing the Board with all information reasonably necessary for the Board to consider any issue raised, including information as to a decision by LIFE COMPANY to disregard voting instructions of Participants. LIFE COMPANY’s responsibilities in connection with the foregoing shall be carried out with a view only to the interests of Participants.

5.4 Conflict Remedies

(a) It is agreed that if it is determined by a majority of the members of the Board or a majority of the Disinterested Trustees that a material irreconcilable conflict exists, LIFE COMPANY will, if it is a Participating Insurance Company for which a material irreconcilable conflict is relevant, at its own expense and to the extent reasonably practicable (as determined by a majority of the Disinterested Trustees), take whatever steps are necessary to remedy or eliminate the material irreconcilable conflict, which steps may include, but are not limited to:

	(i)		withdrawing the assets allocable to some or all of the Accounts from AVIF or any Fund and reinvesting such assets in a different investment medium, including another Fund of AVIF , or submitting the question whether such segregation should be implemented to a vote of all affected Participants and, as appropriate, segregating the assets of any particular group (e.g., annuity Participants, life insurance Participants or all Participants) that votes in favor of such segregation, or offering to the affected Participants the option of making such a change; and

	(ii)		establishing a new registered investment company of the type defined as a “management company” in Section 4(3) of the 1940 Act or a new separate account that is operated as a management company.

(b) If the material irreconcilable conflict arises because of LIFE COMPANY’s decision to disregard Participant voting instructions and that decision represents a minority position or would

preclude a majority vote, LIFE COMPANY may be required, at AVIF’s election, to withdraw each Account’s investment in AVIF or any Fund. No charge or penalty will be imposed as a result of such withdrawal. Any such withdrawal must take place within six (6) months after AVIF gives notice to LIFE COMPANY that this provision is being implemented, and until such withdrawal AVIF shall continue to accept and implement orders by LIFE COMPANY for the purchase and redemption of Shares of AVIF.

(c) If a material irreconcilable conflict arises because a particular state insurance regulator’s decision applicable to LIFE COMPANY conflicts with the majority of other state regulators, then LIFE COMPANY will withdraw each Account’s investment in AVIF within six (6) months after AVIF’s Board informs LIFE COMPANY that it has determined that such decision has created a material irreconcilable conflict, and until such withdrawal AVIF shall continue to accept and implement orders by LIFE COMPANY for the purchase and redemption of Shares of AVIF. No charge or penalty will be imposed as a result of such withdrawal.

(d) LIFE COMPANY agrees that any remedial action taken by it in resolving any material irreconcilable conflict will be carried out at its expense and with a view only to the interests of Participants.

(e) For purposes hereof, a majority of the Disinterested Trustees will determine whether or not any proposed action adequately remedies any material irreconcilable conflict. In no event, however, will AVIF or any of its affiliates be required to establish a new funding medium for any Contracts. LIFE COMPANY will not be required by the terms hereof to establish a new funding medium for any Contracts if an offer to do so has been declined by vote of a majority of Participants materially adversely affected by the material irreconcilable conflict.

5.5 Notice to LIFE COMPANY

AVIF will promptly make known in writing to LIFE COMPANY the Board’s determination of the existence of a material irreconcilable conflict, a description of the facts that give rise to such conflict and the implications of such conflict.

5.6 Information Requested by Board

LIFE COMPANY and AVIF (or its investment adviser) will at least annually submit to the Board of AVIF such reports, materials or data as the Board may reasonably request so that the Board may fully carry out the obligations imposed upon it by the provisions hereof or any exemptive order granted by the SEC to permit Mixed and Shared Funding, and said reports, materials and data will be submitted at any reasonable time deemed appropriate by the Board. All reports received by the Board of potential or existing conflicts, and all Board actions with regard to determining the existence of a conflict, notifying Participating Insurance Companies and Participating Plans of a conflict, and determining whether any proposed action adequately remedies a conflict, will be properly recorded in the minutes of the Board or other appropriate records, and such minutes or other records will be made available to the SEC upon request.

5.7 Compliance with SEC Rules

If, at any time during which AVIF is serving as an investment medium for variable life insurance Contracts, 1940 Act Rules 6e-3(T) or, if applicable, 6e-2 are amended or Rule 6e-3 is adopted to provide exemptive relief with respect to Mixed and Shared Funding, AVIF agrees that it will comply with the terms and conditions thereof and that the terms of this Section 5 shall be deemed modified if and only to the extent required in order also to comply with the terms and conditions of such exemptive relief that is afforded by any of said rules that are applicable.

5.8 Other Requirements

AVIF will require that each Participating Insurance Company and Participating Plan enter into an agreement with AVIF that contains in substance the same provisions as are set forth in Sections 4.1(b), 4.1(d), 4.3(a), 4.4(b), 4.5(a), 5, and 10 of this Agreement.

Section 6. Termination

6.1 Events of Termination

Subject to Section 6.4 below, this Agreement will terminate as to a Fund:

(a) at the option of any party, with or without cause with respect to the Fund, upon six (6) months advance written notice to the other parties, or, if later, upon receipt of any required exemptive relief from the SEC, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the parties; or

(b) at the option of AVIF upon institution of formal proceedings against LIFE COMPANY or its affiliates by FINRA, the SEC, any state insurance regulator or any other regulatory body regarding LIFE COMPANY’s obligations under this Agreement or related to the sale of the Contracts, the operation of each Account, or the purchase of Shares, if, in each case, AVIF reasonably determines that such proceedings, or the facts on which such proceedings would be based, have a material likelihood of imposing material adverse consequences on the Fund with respect to which the Agreement is to be terminated; or

(c) at the option of LIFE COMPANY upon institution of formal proceedings against AVIF , its principal underwriter, or its investment adviser by FINRA, the SEC, or any state insurance regulator or any other regulatory body regarding AVIF’s obligations under this Agreement or related to the operation or management of AVIF or the purchase of AVIF Shares, if, in each case, LIFE COMPANY reasonably determines that such proceedings, or the facts on which such proceedings would be based, have a material likelihood of imposing material adverse consequences on LIFE COMPANY, or the Subaccount corresponding to the Fund with respect to which the Agreement is to be terminated; or

(d) at the option of any Party in the event that (i) the Fund’s Shares are not registered and, in all material respects, issued and sold in accordance with any applicable federal or state law, or (ii) such law precludes the use of such Shares as an underlying investment medium of the Contracts issued or to be issued by LIFE COMPANY; or

(e) upon termination of the corresponding Subaccount’s investment in the Fund pursuant to Section 5 hereof; or

(f) at the option of LIFE COMPANY if the Fund ceases to qualify as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code or under successor or similar provisions, or if LIFE COMPANY reasonably believes that the Fund may fail to so qualify; or

(g) at the option of LIFE COMPANY if the Fund fails to comply with Section 817(h) of the Code or with successor or similar provisions, or if LIFE COMPANY reasonably believes that the Fund may fail to so comply; or

(h) at the option of AVIF if the Contracts issued by LIFE COMPANY cease to qualify as annuity contracts or life insurance contracts under the Code (other than by reason of the Fund’s noncompliance with Section 817(h) or Subchapter M of the Code) or if interests in an Account under the Contracts are not registered, where required, and, in all material respects, are not issued or sold in accordance with any applicable federal or state law; or

(i) upon another Party’s material breach of any provision of this Agreement.

6.2 Notice Requirement for Termination

No termination of this Agreement will be effective unless and until the Party terminating this Agreement gives prior written notice to the other Party to this Agreement of its intent to terminate, and such notice shall set forth the basis for such termination. Furthermore:

(a) in the event that any termination is based upon the provisions of Sections 6.1(a) or 6.1(e) hereof, such prior written notice shall be given at least six (6) months in advance of the effective date of termination unless a shorter time is agreed to by the Parties hereto;

(b) in the event that any termination is based upon the provisions of Sections 6.1(b) or 6.1(c) hereof, such prior written notice shall be given at least ninety (90) days in advance of the effective date of termination unless a shorter time is agreed to by the Parties hereto; and

(c) in the event that any termination is based upon the provisions of Sections 6.1(d), 6.1(f), 6.1(g), 6.1(h) or 6.1(i) hereof, such prior written notice shall be given as soon as possible within twenty-four (24) hours after the terminating Party learns of the event causing termination to be required.

6.3 Funds To Remain Available

Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement by LIFE COMPANY, AVIF will, at the option of LIFE COMPANY, continue to make available additional shares of the Fund pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, for all Contracts in effect on the effective date of termination of this Agreement (hereinafter referred to as “Existing Contracts”), unless INVESCO or the Board determines that doing so would not serve the best interests of the shareholders of the affected Funds or would be inconsistent with applicable law or regulation. Specifically, without limitation, the owners of the Existing Contracts will be permitted to reallocate investments in the Fund (as in effect on such date), redeem investments in the Fund and/or invest in the Fund upon the making of additional purchase payments under the Existing Contracts. The parties agree that this Section 6.3 will not apply to any (i) terminations under Section 5 and the effect of such terminations

will be governed by Section 5 of this Agreement or (ii) any rejected purchase and/or redemption order as described in Section 2.3(c) hereof.

6.4 Survival of Warranties and Indemnifications

All warranties and indemnifications will survive the termination of this Agreement.

6.5 Continuance of Agreement for Certain Purposes

If any Party terminates this Agreement with respect to any Fund pursuant to Sections 6.1(b), 6.1(c), 6.1(d), 6.1(f), 6.1(g), 6.1(h) or 6.1(i) hereof, this Agreement shall nevertheless continue in effect as to any Shares of that Fund that are outstanding as of the date of such termination (the “Initial Termination Date”). This continuation shall extend to the earlier of the date as of which an Account owns no Shares of the affected Fund or a date (the “Final Termination Date”) six (6) months following the Initial Termination Date, except that LIFE COMPANY may, by written notice shorten said six (6) month period in the case of a termination pursuant to Sections 6.1(d), 6.1(f), 6.1(g), 6.1(h) or 6.1(i).

Section 7. Parties To Cooperate Respecting Termination

The Parties hereto agree to cooperate and give reasonable assistance to one another in taking all necessary and appropriate steps for the purpose of ensuring that an Account owns no Shares of a Fund after the Final Termination Date with respect thereto, or, in the case of a termination pursuant to Section 6.1(a), the termination date specified in the notice of termination. Such steps may include combining the affected Account with another Account, substituting other mutual fund shares for those of the affected Fund, or otherwise terminating participation by the Contracts in such Fund.

Section 8. Assignment

This Agreement may not be assigned by any Party, except with the written consent of each other Party.

Section 10. Voting Procedures

Subject to the cost allocation procedures set forth in Section 3 hereof, LIFE COMPANY will distribute all proxy material furnished by AVIF to Participants to whom pass-through voting privileges are required to be extended and will solicit voting instructions from Participants. LIFE COMPANY will vote Shares in accordance with timely instructions received from Participants. LIFE COMPANY will vote Shares that are (a) not attributable to Participants to whom pass-through voting privileges are extended, or (b) attributable to Participants, but for which no timely instructions have been received, in the same proportion as Shares for which said instructions have been received from Participants, so long as and to the extent that the SEC continues to interpret the 1940 Act to require pass through voting privileges for Participants. Neither LIFE COMPANY nor any of its affiliates will in any way recommend action in connection with or oppose or interfere with the solicitation of proxies for the Shares held for such Participants. LIFE COMPANY reserves the right to vote shares held in any Account in its own right, to the extent permitted by law. LIFE COMPANY shall be responsible for assuring that each of its Accounts holding Shares calculates voting privileges in a manner consistent with that of other Participating Insurance Companies or in the manner required by the Mixed and Shared Funding exemptive order obtained by AVIF. AVIF will notify LIFE COMPANY of any changes of interpretations or amendments to Mixed and Shared Funding exemptive order it has obtained. AVIF will comply with all provisions of the 1940 Act requiring voting by shareholders, and in particular, AVIF either will provide for annual meetings (except insofar as the SEC may interpret Section 16 of the 1940 Act not to require such meetings) or will comply with Section 16(c) of the 1940 Act (although AVIF is not one of the trusts described in

Section 16(c) of that Act) as well as with Sections 16(a) and, if and when applicable, 16(b). Further, AVIF will act in accordance with the SEC’s interpretation of the requirements of Section 16(a) with respect to periodic elections of trustees and with whatever rules the SEC may promulgate with respect thereto.

Section 11. Foreign Tax Credits

AVIF agrees to consult in advance with LIFE COMPANY concerning any decision to elect or not to elect pursuant to Section 853 of the Code to pass through the benefit of any foreign tax credits to its shareholders.

Section 12. Indemnification

12.1 Of AVIF and INVESCO by LIFE COMPANY and UNDERWRITER

(a) Except to the extent provided in Sections 12.1(b) and 12.1(c), below, LIFE COMPANY and UNDERWRITER agree to indemnify and hold harmless AVIF , INVESCO, their affiliates, and each person, if any, who controls AVIF , INVESCO, or their affiliates within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act and each of their respective trustees and officers, (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties” for purposes of this Section 12.1) against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities (including amounts paid in settlement with the written consent of LIFE COMPANY and UNDERWRITER) or actions in respect thereof (including, to the extent reasonable, legal and other expenses), to which the Indemnified Parties may become subject under any statute, regulation, at common law or otherwise; provided, the Account owns shares of the Fund and insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions:

	(i)		arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Account’s 1933 Act registration statement, any Account Prospectus, the Contracts, or sales literature or advertising for the Contracts (or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing), 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 agreement to indemnify 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 in conformity with information furnished to LIFE COMPANY or UNDERWRITER by or on behalf of AVIF or INVESCO for use in any Account’s 1933 Act registration statement, any Account Prospectus, the Contracts, or sales literature or advertising or otherwise for use in connection with the sale of Contracts or Shares (or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing); or

	(ii)		arise out of or as a result of any other statements or representations (other than statements or representations contained in AVIF’s 1933 Act registration statement, AVIF Prospectus, sales literature or advertising of AVIF , or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing, not supplied for use

			therein by or on behalf of LIFE COMPANY, UNDERWRITER or their respective affiliates and on which such persons have reasonably relied) or the negligent, illegal or fraudulent conduct of LIFE COMPANY, UNDERWRITER or their respective affiliates or persons under their control (including, without limitation, their employees and “persons associated with a member,” as that term is defined in paragraph (q) of Article I of FINRA’s By-Laws), in connection with the sale or distribution of the Contracts or Shares; or

	(iii)		arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in AVIF’s 1933 Act registration statement, AVIF Prospectus, sales literature or advertising of AVIF , or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing, 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 a statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to AVIF , INVESCO or their affiliates by or on behalf of LIFE COMPANY, UNDERWRITER or their respective affiliates for use in AVIF’s 1933 Act registration statement, AVIF Prospectus, sales literature or advertising of AVIF , or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing; or

	(iv)		arise as a result of any failure by LIFE COMPANY or UNDERWRITER to perform the obligations, provide the services and furnish the materials required of them under the terms of this Agreement, or any material breach of any representation and/or warranty made by LIFE COMPANY or UNDERWRITER in this Agreement or arise out of or result from any other material breach of this Agreement by LIFE COMPANY or UNDERWRITER; or

	(v)		arise as a result of failure by the Contracts issued by LIFE COMPANY to qualify as annuity contracts or life insurance contracts under the Code, otherwise than by reason of any Fund’s failure to comply with Subchapter M or Section 817(h) of the Code.

(b) Neither LIFE COMPANY nor UNDERWRITER shall be liable under this Section 12.1 with respect to any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions to which an Indemnified Party would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, or gross negligence in the performance by that Indemnified Party of its duties or by reason of that Indemnified Party’s reckless disregard of obligations or duties (i) under this Agreement, or (ii) to AVIF or INVESCO.

(c) Neither LIFE COMPANY nor UNDERWRITER shall be liable under this Section 12.1 with respect to any action against an Indemnified Party unless AVIF or INVESCO shall have notified LIFE COMPANY and UNDERWRITER in writing within a reasonable time after the summons or other first legal process giving information of the nature of the action 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 LIFE COMPANY and UNDERWRITER of any such action shall not relieve LIFE COMPANY and UNDERWRITER from any liability which they may have to the Indemnified Party against whom such action is brought otherwise than on account of this Section 12.1. Except as otherwise provided herein, in case any such action is brought against an Indemnified Party, LIFE COMPANY and UNDERWRITER shall be entitled to participate, at their own expense, in the defense of such action and also shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with counsel approved by the Indemnified Party named in the action, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. After notice from LIFE COMPANY or UNDERWRITER to such Indemnified Party of LIFE COMPANY’s or UNDERWRITER’s election to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnified Party will cooperate fully with LIFE COMPANY and UNDERWRITER and shall bear the fees and expenses of any additional counsel retained by it, and neither LIFE COMPANY nor UNDERWRITER will be liable to such Indemnified Party under this Agreement for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party independently in connection with the defense thereof, other than reasonable costs of investigation.

12.2 Of LIFE COMPANY and UNDERWRITER by AVIF and INVESCO

(a) Except to the extent provided in Sections 12.2(c), 12.2(d) and 12.2(e), below, AVIF and INVESCO agree to indemnify and hold harmless LIFE COMPANY, UNDERWRITER, their respective affiliates, and each person, if any, who controls LIFE COMPANY, UNDERWRITER or their respective affiliates within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act and each of their respective trustees and officers, (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties” for purposes of this Section 12.2) against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities (including amounts paid in settlement with the written consent of AVIF and/or INVESCO) or actions in respect thereof (including, to the extent reasonable, legal and other expenses), to which the Indemnified Parties may become subject under any statute, regulation, at common law, or otherwise; provided, the Account owns shares of the Fund and insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions:

(i)

arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in AVIF’s 1933 Act registration statement, AVIF Prospectus or sales literature or advertising of AVIF (or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing), 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 agreement to indemnify 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 in conformity with information furnished to AVIF or its affiliates by or on behalf of LIFE COMPANY, UNDERWRITER or their respective affiliates for use in AVIF’s 1933 Act registration statement, AVIF Prospectus, or in sales literature or advertising or otherwise for use in connection with the sale of Contracts or Shares (or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing); or

(ii)

arise out of or as a result of any other statements or representations (other than statements or representations contained in any Account’s 1933 Act

			registration statement, any Account Prospectus, sales literature or advertising for the Contracts, or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing, not supplied for use therein by or on behalf of AVIF , INVESCO or their affiliates and on which such persons have reasonably relied) or the negligent, illegal or fraudulent conduct of AVIF , INVESCO or their affiliates or persons under their control (including, without limitation, their employees and “persons associated with a member” as that term is defined in Section (q) of Article I of FINRA By-Laws), in connection with the sale or distribution of AVIF Shares; or

	(iii)		arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Account’s 1933 Act registration statement, any Account Prospectus, sales literature or advertising covering the Contracts, or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing, 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 in conformity with information furnished to LIFE COMPANY, UNDERWRITER or their respective affiliates by or on behalf of AVIF or INVESCO for use in any Account’s 1933 Act registration statement, any Account Prospectus, sales literature or advertising covering the Contracts, or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing; or

(iv)

arise as a result of any failure by AVIF to perform the obligations, provide the services and furnish the materials required of it under the terms of this Agreement, or any material breach of any representation and/or warranty made by AVIF in this Agreement or arise out of or result from any other material breach of this Agreement by AVIF.

(b) The parties agree that the foregoing indemnification by AVIF shall not apply to any acts or omissions of INVESCO. Except to the extent provided in Sections 12.2(c), 12.2(d) and 12.2(e) hereof, AVIF and INVESCO agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities (including amounts paid in settlement thereof with, the written consent of AVIF and/or INVESCO) or actions in respect thereof (including, to the extent reasonable, legal and other expenses) to which the Indemnified Parties may become subject directly or indirectly under any statute, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions directly or indirectly result from or arise out of the failure of any Fund to operate as a regulated investment company in compliance with (i) Subchapter M of the Code and regulations thereunder, or (ii) Section 817(h) of the Code and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, any income taxes and related penalties, rescission charges, liability under state law to Participants asserting liability against LIFE COMPANY pursuant to the Contracts, the costs of any ruling and closing agreement or other settlement with the IRS, and the cost of any substitution by LIFE COMPANY of Shares of another investment company or portfolio for those of any adversely affected Fund as a funding medium for each Account that LIFE COMPANY reasonably deems necessary or appropriate as a result of the noncompliance.

(c) Neither AVIF nor INVESCO shall be liable under this Section 12.2 with respect to any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions to which an Indemnified Party would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, or gross negligence in the performance by that Indemnified Party of its duties or by reason of such Indemnified Party’s reckless disregard of its obligations and duties (i) under this Agreement, or (ii) to LIFE COMPANY, UNDERWRITER, each Account or Participants.

(d) Neither AVIF nor INVESCO shall be liable under this Section 12.2 with respect to any action against an Indemnified Party unless the Indemnified Party shall have notified AVIF and/or INVESCO in writing within a reasonable time after the summons or other first legal process giving information of the nature of the action 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 AVIF or INVESCO of any such action shall not relieve AVIF or INVESCO from any liability which it may have to the Indemnified Party against whom such action is brought otherwise than on account of this Section 12.2. Except as otherwise provided herein, in case any such action is brought against an Indemnified Party, AVIF and/or INVESCO will be entitled to participate, at its own expense, in the defense of such action and also shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof (which shall include, without limitation, the conduct of any ruling request and closing agreement or other settlement proceeding with the IRS), with counsel approved by the Indemnified Party named in the action, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. After notice from AVIF and/or INVESCO to such Indemnified Party of AVIF’s or INVESCO’s election to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnified Party will cooperate fully with AVIF and INVESCO and shall bear the fees and expenses of any additional counsel retained by it, and AVIF and INVESCO will not be liable to such Indemnified Party under this Agreement for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party independently in connection with the defense thereof, other than reasonable costs of investigation.

(e) In no event shall AVIF or INVESCO be liable under the indemnification provisions contained in this Agreement to any individual or entity, including, without limitation, LIFE COMPANY, UNDERWRITER or any other Participating Insurance Company or any Participant, with respect to any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses that arise out of or result from (i) a breach of any representation, warranty, and/or covenant made by LIFE COMPANY or UNDERWRITER hereunder or by any other Participating Insurance Company under an agreement containing substantially similar representations, warranties and covenants; (ii) the failure by LIFE COMPANY or any other Participating Insurance Company to maintain its segregated asset account (which invests in any Fund) as a legally and validly established segregated asset account under applicable state law and as a duly registered unit investment trust under the provisions of the 1940 Act (unless exempt therefrom); or (iii) the failure by LIFE COMPANY or any other Participating Insurance Company to maintain its variable annuity or life insurance contracts (with respect to which any Fund serves as an underlying funding vehicle) as annuity contracts or life insurance contracts under applicable provisions of the Code.

12.3 Effect of Notice

Any notice given by the indemnifying Party to an Indemnified Party referred to in Sections 12.1(c) or 12.2(d) above of participation in or control of any action by the indemnifying Party will in

no event be deemed to be an admission by the indemnifying Party of liability, culpability or responsibility, and the indemnifying Party will remain free to contest liability with respect to the claim among the Parties or otherwise.

INVESCO’s PRICING ERROR POLICIES

Determination of Materiality

In the event that INVESCO discovers an error in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value, the following policies will apply:

If the amount of the error is less than $.01 per share, it is considered immaterial and no adjustments are made.

If the amount of the error is $.01 per share or more, then the following thresholds are applied:

	a.		If the amount of the difference in the erroneous net asset value and the correct net asset value is less than .5% of the correct net asset value, INVESCO will reimburse the affected Fund to the extent of any loss resulting from the error. No other adjustments shall be made.

	b.		If the amount of the difference in the erroneous net asset value and the correct net asset value is .5% of the correct net asset value or greater, then INVESCO will determine the impact of the error to the affected Fund and shall reimburse such Fund (and/or LIFE COMPANY, as appropriate, such as in the event that the error was not discovered until after LIFE COMPANY processed transactions using the erroneous net asset value) to the extent of any loss resulting from the error. To the extent that an overstatement of net asset value per share is detected quickly and LIFE COMPANY has not mailed redemption checks to Participants, LIFE COMPANY and INVESCO agree to examine the extent of the error to determine the feasibility of reprocessing such redemption transaction (for purposes of reimbursing the Fund to the extent of any such overpayment).

Reprocessing Cost Reimbursement

To the extent a reprocessing of Participant transactions is required pursuant to paragraph (b), above, INVESCO shall reimburse LIFE COMPANY for LIFE COMPANY’s reprocessing costs in an amount not to exceed $1.00 per contract affected by $10 or more.

The Pricing Policies described herein may be modified by AVIF as approved by its Board. INVESCO agrees to use its best efforts to notify LIFE COMPANY at least five (5) days prior to any such meeting of the Board of AVIF to consider such proposed changes.
