The parties acknowledge that the description and definition of the Transition Services attached as Exhibit 3.1 are general in nature and the parties agree to utilize commercially reasonable efforts to develop a definitive Transition Services plan in accordance with the procedures outlined under the heading “Transition and Transition Analysis Phase” of the Business Requirements Document, attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1.1, which will define the Transition Services in greater detail. Upon approval by Customer and Liberty, the final Transition Services plan shall supplement the general Transition Services and the schedule set forth in Exhibit 3.1.

3.2 Services. Beginning on the Services Starting Date, Liberty shall provide the administrative services described in Exhibit 3.2 (the “Services”) in accordance with the performance standards (the “Performance Standards”) as set forth in Exhibit 3.2.1. Liberty and Customer will review the Performance Standards periodically and make adjustments: (1) that are mutually agreeable to the parties within timeframes that are mutually agreeable to the parties; and/or (2) that are required in order for the Contracts, the MVA Account and the Separate Account to be in compliance with applicable Federal Securities Laws and applicable insurance laws. The parties understand and agree that some changes to the Performance Standards may result in changes to the Services Fees.

The Services shall be provided from Liberty’s service center listed on Exhibit 3.2.2 (the “Service Center”) between the hours of 8:30 am and 5:00 pm Eastern Time; however, the contact center will be open between the hours of 8:30 am and 7:00 pm Eastern Time. Liberty agrees that, to the extent required under the Federal Securities Laws, telephone operators and other personnel at the Service Center will obtain proper securities licenses. Orders placed for each Contract shall be executed on a daily basis at the accumulation unit value next computed after receipt by Liberty or its agent of such order. The accumulation unit value shall be priced at the close of the Business Day.

Liberty may provide the Services from one or more other Service Center(s) selected by Liberty that meet the same security and data recovery procedures required by this Agreement, as long as Liberty continues to perform services in accordance with the Performance Standards, and such Service Center(s) agree in writing to Customer to comply with all relevant laws, Performance Standards and the terms and conditions of this Agreement. If Liberty selects a Service Center located in the United States of America, it will provide written notice to Customer in advance of moving some or all of the Services to that new Service Center. If Liberty selects a Service Center located outside of the United States of America, it will obtain Customer’s prior written consent before moving some or all of the Services to that new offshore Service Center, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld by Customer. In each case, the policies and procedures employed by the Service Center(s) shall be approved by Customer as required by Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act.

3.3 Facilities and Security Procedures. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Liberty shall furnish the facilities, including, without limitation, physical facilities, trained personnel, and data processing hardware and software, necessary to provide the Services in compliance with applicable Federal Securities Laws. However, the costs for any telecommunication lines from Customer to the Service Center(s) shall be paid by Customer as a Pass Through Cost. During the Term and any Renewal Term(s), Liberty shall maintain and enforce written security policies and procedures (the “Security Procedures”) at the Service Center(s) that are at least as rigorous as those security procedures in effect at the Service Center(s) as of the Effective Date of this Agreement. Such Security Procedures shall be designed to meet the requirements of the Federal Securities Laws, including Rule 30 under Regulation S-P of the SEC. If other privacy laws applicable to the parties, including any such laws or regulations promulgated by a state or municipality having jurisdiction over the parties, have become effective and/or impose greater obligations or restrictions on Liberty (“Additional Privacy Laws”), Liberty shall comply with the terms of such Additional Privacy Laws, as directed by Customer. The implementation of Additional Privacy Laws shall be handled as Additional Services. A summary of the existing Security Procedures is set forth in Exhibit 3.3.

3.4 Additional Services. Customer may from time to time request that Liberty perform services (1) outside the scope of the Services or (2) to augment or supplement the Services (the “Additional Services”). As to all requests for Additional Services that are reasonably related to Services then being provided by Liberty under this Agreement, Liberty agrees to provide the Additional Services, subject to the reasonable availability of resources within Liberty to perform such services at the time requested, and further subject to the remaining provisions of this Section 3.4. Upon receipt of such a request from Customer for

Additional Services, Liberty shall inform Customer within five (5) business days after receipt of Customer’s request as to whether Liberty is able (subject to provisions of the immediately preceding sentence) to perform such Additional Services and, if so, Liberty shall provide Customer with (a) a written description of the work Liberty anticipates performing in connection with such Additional Services, (b) a schedule for commencing and completing the Additional Services and (c) Liberty’s estimated charges for such Additional Services (the “Additional Services Fees”) which charges shall be calculated using those rates set forth on Exhibit 3.4 (the “Standard Rates”). In the event Customer elects to have Liberty perform the Additional Services, Customer and Liberty shall execute a written amendment to this Agreement in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit 3.4.1 (when completed and signed by both Customer and Liberty, such form shall be an “Amendment for Additional Services”). Liberty shall not begin performing any Additional Services until an Amendment for Additional Services in respect of such Additional Services has been executed on behalf of Customer, as agreed by Customer and Liberty. Only the persons listed in Exhibit 3.4.2 may authorize Additional Services on behalf of Customer.

3.5 Safeguarding Data and Books and Records. Liberty shall maintain off-site backup files on a daily basis of its systems, procedures, Books and Records maintained as data, documents, files, and other materials relating to the Agreement. Liberty shall be responsible for maintaining at all times during the Term and any Renewal Terms a data recovery plan (the “Data Recovery Plan”), which is tested on an annual basis, and an off-site business continuity and resumption plan (the “Business Continuity Plan”), which is tested at least every eighteen months, both of which are reviewed by customer as part of the Annual Review (or any Interim Review, if necessary) to ensure that Customer’s Data and Books and Records can be restored after the occurrence of a force majeure event such as flood, fire, earthquake, accident, explosion, riot, war, civil commotion, or other similar disaster. Liberty and Customer shall mutually agree on the procedures to be followed with respect to the continued provision of the Services in such an event. Customer shall have the right to review and audit Liberty’s Data Recovery Plan annual test results and any test results of Liberty’s Business Continuity Plan. Liberty will cause its offsite storage facility provider to allow Customer to inspect the storage facility upon two (2) business days prior notice. Exhibit 3.5 sets forth a high level summary of Liberty’s current Data Recovery Plan and Business Continuity Plan. Liberty shall establish reasonable safeguards to protect Customer’s Data and Books and Records against unauthorized distribution, loss or alteration. Such safeguards shall be designed to meet the requirements of the Federal Securities Laws, including Rule 30 under Regulation S-P of the SEC and Additional Privacy Laws. Upon reasonable notice, Customer and Liberty shall have the right to review such safeguards, policies and procedures. Customer shall have the right to review Liberty’s Data Recovery Plan and Business Continuity Plan on Liberty’s premises. Liberty shall notify Customer immediately of any security breaches involving Customer’s Data or Books and Records and shall use its best efforts to undertake immediate corrective action of such security breaches.

3.6 Bank Accounts. Customer on behalf of its Separate Account(s), the MVA Account and the General Account shall establish a premium account in a federally or state insured financial institution which shall be operated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Contracts, the Prospectuses, the 1940 Act and the Customer’s policies and procedures, and applicable law governing third party administrators as provided in Section 14.7

(the “Premium Account”). All premiums, loan repayments and other receipts shall be payable to the order of Customer. Liberty shall collect, receive and deposit all checks or other funds collected on behalf of Customer in the bank accounts opened and maintained by Customer for such purposes. Any funds held by Liberty in connection with this Agreement shall be held in trust for Customer on behalf of its Separate Account(s), the MVA Account and General Account and shall not be commingled by Liberty with any other funds. Liberty shall immediately remit such funds to the person or persons entitled thereto or shall promptly deposit them in the bank accounts established by Customer for purposes of this Agreement. Liberty shall keep copies of all records provided by such bank or banks pertaining to such bank accounts and shall furnish Customer with copies thereof.

3.7 Penalties for Failure to Meet Performance Standards. If Liberty fails, for two (2) consecutive months, to meet the same performance level for a Performance Standard set forth in Exhibit 3.2.1 and, upon notice by Customer, Liberty fails to correct its performance level within the month following the two (2) consecutive months in which the failure occurred, Customer shall be entitled to an abatement of three percent (3%) of the monthly Services Fees or Minimum Fees, as applicable, for that entire period during which Liberty failed to correct its performance, until Liberty corrects its performance. {For example, if Liberty fails to meet the same Performance Standard during January and February, and Liberty fails to correct its performance level for that same Performance Standard during March, then Customer shall be entitled to the 3% abatement for the months of January, February and March, and in any subsequent month(s) until Liberty’s performance meets the Performance Standard for that service.} Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will Customer be entitled to reduce the Service Fees or Minimum Fees by more than 3%, in the aggregate, regardless of the number of Performance Standards not being achieved by Liberty under these circumstances.

For each month thereafter during which Liberty continues to fail to meet the same Performance Standard, Customer shall be entitled to an additional 7% abatement for the entire period during which Liberty failed to meet and correct its performance. {For example, if Liberty fails to meet the same Performance Standard during January, February, March and April, then Customer shall be entitled to a 10% abatement for the months of January, February, March and April.} However, if Liberty and Customer have mutually agreed upon a fix to remedy the Performance Standard shortfall during this period, Customer shall not be entitled to the additional 7% abatement during the period Liberty is working on the mutually agreed upon fix. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will Customer be entitled to reduce the Service Fees or Minimum Fees by more than 10% for any failure to correct Performance Standards, in the aggregate, that remains uncorrected, regardless of the number of Performance Standards not being achieved by Liberty under these circumstances. However, continued failure by Liberty to meet the Performance Standards will result in immediate escalation to the dispute resolution procedures as set forth in Section 13.2.

Payment of a fee reduced pursuant to this Section 3.7 shall not constitute a waiver of any other rights under this Agreement, or under applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Liberty shall incur no penalties for failure to meet Performance Standards for backlogs attributable to actions or inactions in the existing service centers prior to the Services Starting Date or for situations relating to Sections 5.24 and 5.25 of this Agreement.

If Liberty meets or exceeds the Performance Standards identified in Exhibit 3.2.1 and Customer achieves DALBAR, Inc. overall ranking scores in the 1^st quartile for three consecutive months, Liberty is entitled to receive a bonus equal to 3% of the monthly Service Fees or Minimum Fees, as applicable, for the entire period during which Customer achieved the 1^st quartile ranking and for any continuing periods thereafter during which Customer continues to achieve the 1^st quartile ranking. Liberty shall include any such bonus awards to which it is entitled as a line item in the monthly invoice to Customer.

If Customer achieves one of DALBAR, Inc.’s top annual awards, Liberty becomes eligible for a lump sum award.

(i) Crystal Pyramid Award - $50,000

(ii) Communication Seal - $25,000

3.8 Regulatory Changes. During the Term and any Renewal Terms to this Agreement, Liberty will make, in a timely manner, all modifications to its system(s) that are required to conform to, and comply with, changes in any law(s) that affect the Contracts or the Services or Additional Services to be performed pursuant to this Agreement, on the following basis: Any changes in any laws(s) that affect the Contracts or Liberty’s performance of the Services or Additional Services will be implemented by Liberty if approved in writing by Customer. Customer shall give such approval in a timely manner or specify any custom modifications it desires sufficiently in advance of the date by which such regulatory changes take effect so that Liberty is not prevented from performing the Services or Additional Services in compliance with any such change; Customer shall indemnify Liberty for any damage it may incur as a result of Customer’s failure to provide written approval or specify custom modifications.

Bills for Additional Services may be billed separately. Liberty will prepare invoices based on the Contract count at the beginning of the month. If any payment from Customer is not received by Liberty on or before twenty (20) days following Customer’s receipt of a billing statement from Liberty, then Customer shall pay Liberty interest at a rate equal to 1.5% per month (or the maximum rate of interest allowed by law, if lower) on the past-due amount until paid in full; provided, however, that the charging of interest is not a consent to late payment. Neither (i) the failure of Liberty to deliver a billing statement for Services rendered or to be rendered under the terms of this Agreement nor (ii) any error in the amount billed by Liberty for such Services shall constitute a waiver by Liberty of Customer’s obligation to pay for such Services or Additional Services or Pass Through Costs. Disputes concerning fees and expenses shall be resolved as provided in Paragraph 6.7 of this Agreement.

6.6 Partial Months. Charges for a partial month shall be prorated on a daily basis based upon a thirty-day month.

6.7 Billing Disputes. If Customer disagrees, in good faith, with any charge(s) on a billing statement from Liberty, Customer shall give Liberty written notice, which complies with the following provisions:

(a) The notice shall separately identify each and every item in dispute, the amount which is disputed, the specific reasons alleged by Customer for the disputed charge, and the amount which is not disputed; if any, and

(b) The notice shall be accompanied by payment in full for the undisputed amount of the billing statement.

Both parties agree to mutually negotiate to resolve any disputes within thirty (30) days of Customer’s written notice of a billing statement dispute. If the matter is not resolved within said thirty (30) days period, the matter shall be resolved as provided in Article 13 of this Agreement.

6.8 Taxes.

(a) Customer shall pay to Liberty any and all taxes, including sales, use and excise taxes (not including any personal property taxes or taxes based on Liberty’s net income) based on the provision of the Services or the Additional Services which are found to be applicable and that Liberty is required under applicable law to collect. The appropriate amount of tax shall be invoiced to and paid by Customer to Liberty at the same time and on the same conditions as set forth in Section 6.5.

(b) If Customer disagrees with Liberty’s determination that any tax is due with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, and Liberty is attempting to invoice Customer for such tax as provided in Section 6.8(a) then Customer shall have the right to seek an administrative determination from the applicable taxing authority, or alternatively, Customer shall have the right to legally contest any asserted claim for taxes and, to the extent allowed by law, withhold payment of such contested taxes. Customer shall have the right to control any such administrative or legal proceedings, and in connection therewith Liberty shall (i) be consulted, and (ii) cooperate with Customer and take any and all actions reasonably requested by Customer (at Customer’s expense).

(c) If any taxes payable by Customer that are required to be collected by Liberty pursuant to Section 6.8(a) are not invoiced by Liberty (or are invoiced on a date such that Customer and Liberty are not reasonably able to deliver the amount of such taxes to the relevant taxing authority in a timely fashion), and it is ultimately determined that such taxes are due and payable, then Customer shall reimburse Liberty for the amount of such taxes, provided that Liberty shall indemnify Customer from any and all interest and other penalties assessed as a result of such taxes not being paid in a timely manner.

(d) Amounts paid to Liberty as a result of this Section 6.8 shall be reduced or refunded to Customer the extent that Liberty obtains a net tax benefit (including but not limited to foreign tax credits) resulting from the payment of the relevant taxes. The parties will cooperate in good faith to determine the amount of such net tax benefit (if any).

(e) Customer shall not be required to pay or otherwise be liable or responsible for, and Liberty hereby indemnifies, defends and holds Customer harmless against, any penalty, additional tax, costs or interest that may be assessed or levied by any taxing authority as a result of the failure of Liberty to file any return, form, or information statement that may be duly required from Liberty by such taxing authority or to pay any tax amounts collected from Customer hereunder.

6.9 Annual Adjustment to Fees and Rates. Not more than once each year, at the anniversary of the Effective Date, Liberty may increase the Services Fees and Standard Rates by a percentage equal to the percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index (as defined in Article 1) during the immediately preceding year but in no event shall the increase due to the Consumer Price Index exceed five percent (5%) per year.

6.10 Pass Through Costs. Customer shall pay certain pass through costs and expenses (the “Pass Through Costs”) identified in this Agreement including those of the type set forth in Exhibit 6.1, which Pass Through Costs are related to the Transition Services, the Services and the Additional Services.

6.11 Audit of Charges. Upon at least five (5) days’ notice from Customer and no more than twice during any calendar year (unless a previous audit reveals a discrepancy), Liberty shall provide Customer with access to all of the financial records and supporting documentation in respect of its charges to Customer, excluding Liberty’s pricing model for this Agreement. If, as a result of such audit, Customer determines that Liberty has overcharged Customer, Customer shall notify Liberty of the amount of such overcharge and Liberty shall promptly pay to Customer the amount of the overcharge, plus interest at the rate of 1.5% per month (but in no event to exceed the highest lawful rate of interest), calculated from the date of receipt by Liberty of notice from Customer of the overcharged amount until the date of payment to Customer. All Confidential Information of Liberty obtained as a result of any monitoring, audits or inspections pursuant to this Section 6.11 shall be held by Customer in accordance with the provisions of Article 9.

6.12 Undercharges. If, as a result of an internal audit of its charges to Customer, Liberty determines that it has undercharged Customer, Liberty may provide Customer with a billing statement in respect of such amount. Any such billing statement shall include the information specified in Section 6.5 and evidence that the amount was not charged to Customer previously. Upon receipt of this information and evidence, Customer shall pay the amount of the undercharge according to Section 6.5, unless disputed in good faith; however, late fees and interest charges shall be measured from the corrected billing statement date rather than from the original statement date. However, Customer shall not be obligated to pay any amount for a Service that occurred more than 12 months before the Customer received the billing statement.

Article 11

Remedies

11.1 Specific Performance and Injunction. The parties acknowledge that if either party fails to comply, or threatens to fail to comply, with its obligations under Article 8 or Article 9 of this Agreement, or with the representations and covenants provided in Sections 10.1(j), 10.1(l), 10.1(m), 10.2(g), 10.2(m), 10.2(n), or 10.2(o), the other party may suffer irreparable harm for which there may be no adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, if either party fails to comply with such obligations, then, in addition to its other remedies, the other party will be entitled immediately to injunctive relief or any other appropriate equitable remedy.

11.2 Cumulative Remedies. Except as expressly limited by this Article 11 and Article 12, no remedy conferred upon or reserved to a party is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy available at law or in equity, but each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given under this Agreement or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity, by statute or otherwise.

Article 12

Indemnification and Liability

12.1 Indemnification by Liberty. Liberty shall indemnify, defend and hold Customer, and its parent, affiliates, directors, officers, agents or employees harmless from and against any and all claims, litigation, suits, proceedings, actions, liability, losses, expenses or damages, including reasonable attorneys’ and consultants’ fees and costs incurred, (collectively, “Damages”) which Customer and its parent, affiliates, directors, officers, agents or employees may sustain directly due to or directly arising out of any act or omission by Liberty, its parent, affiliates, directors, officers, agents, representatives, employees or others under contract with, appointed by or otherwise acting on behalf of Liberty, which is in violation or breach of this Agreement or in violation of any applicable law, rule or regulation, except to the extent such Damages directly resulted from the negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of Customer or its parent, affiliates, directors, officers, agents or employees.

12.2 Indemnification by Customer. Customer shall indemnify, defend and hold Liberty, and its parent, affiliates, directors, officers, agents or employees harmless from and against any and all Damages which Liberty and its parent, affiliates, directors, officers, agents or

employees may sustain directly due to or directly arising out of any act or omission by Customer, its parent, affiliates, directors, officers, agents, representatives, employees or others under contract with, appointed by or otherwise acting on behalf of Customer, which is in violation or breach of this Agreement or in violation of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or which are in any way related to the Contracts, or the Insurance Risk for the Contracts, or to the acts or omissions of the employees, agents, brokers, and/or representatives who sold the Contracts or to those persons who serviced the Contracts prior to the date Liberty began providing the Services, except to the extent such Damages directly resulted from the negligence, bad faith, or willful misconduct of Liberty or its parent, affiliates, directors, officers, agents or employees.

12.3 Indemnification Procedures Involving Third Party Claims. If any third party makes a claim covered by Sections 12.1 or 12.2 against any indemnified party (an “Indemnified Party”) with respect to which such Indemnified Party intends to seek indemnification under Sections 12.1 or 12.2, such Indemnified Party shall promptly deliver to the indemnifying party (an “Indemnifying Party”) a written notice (an “Indemnification Claims Notice”), including a brief description of the amount and basis of the Indemnification Claim, if known, and thereafter keep Indemnifying Party reasonably apprised as to the status of the defense. Provided, however, that the failure of the Indemnified Party to give prompt notice or to keep Indemnifying Party reasonably apprised shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any of its obligations under this Agreement unless such failure prejudices the Indemnifying Party.

The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume and control the defense of any such claim, action or proceeding (“Indemnification Claim”) on Indemnified Party’s behalf by written notice to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days after receipt of a Indemnification Claims Notice and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate fully with, and assist the Indemnifying Party in the defense and all related settlement negotiations of such Indemnification Claim. The Indemnifying Party shall pay all reasonable outside costs incurred by the Indemnified Party related to the Indemnified Party’s assistance in defense of a Indemnification Claim. The Indemnifying Party shall keep the Indemnified Party reasonably apprised as to the status of the defense. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to join in the defense of such Indemnification Claim and employ its own separate counsel in any action, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party.

If the Indemnifying Party shall fail to notify the Indemnified Party of its desire to assume the defense of any such Indemnification Claim within the prescribed period of time or shall notify the Indemnified Party that it will not assume the defense of any such Indemnification Claim, then the Indemnified Party shall defend such Indemnification Claim in any such manner as it may deem appropriate, subject to the right of the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of such Indemnification Claim any time prior to its final determination or settlement. The Indemnifying Party shall also be permitted to join in the defense of such Indemnification Claim and employ counsel at its own expense. Neither the Indemnifying Party nor any Indemnified Party shall be liable for any settlement of any Indemnification Claim without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In the event that one party submits to the other a settlement proposal that it wishes to accept, the party that receives the notice of the settlement proposal shall notify the submitting party, within ten business days, of its decision to reject settlement, or consent to acceptance of the settlement offer shall be conclusively presumed.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party shall retain, assume or reassume sole control over, and all expenses relating to, every aspect of the defense that it or Indemnifying Party reasonably believes is not the subject of the indemnification provided for in Sections 12.1 or 12.2.

Until both (a) the Indemnified Party receives notice from the Indemnifying Party that it will defend; and (b) the Indemnifying Party assumes such defense, the Indemnified Party may, at any time after ten (10) days from notifying the Indemnifying Party of the Indemnification Claim, resist the Indemnification Claim or, after consultation with and the consent of the Indemnifying Party, settle or otherwise compromise or pay the Indemnification Claim. The Indemnifying Party shall pay all reasonable outside costs of the Indemnified Party actually incurred arising out of or relating to defense and any such settlement, compromise or payment. The Indemnified Party shall keep the Indemnifying Party reasonably apprised as to the status of the defense.

Following indemnification as provided in Sections 12.1 and 12.2, the Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party with respect to the matters from which indemnification has been made. Indemnification of the parties entitled to indemnification for breach of this Agreement shall be the exclusive remedy of such parties and the liability of all parties shall be limited as expressly provided in Article 12 and to the indemnities and the limitations on indemnity in this Article 12.

12.4 Limitations on Indemnification and Liability. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the indemnification rights granted and any liability imposed pursuant to this Article 12 shall be subject to the following limitations:

(i)

There shall be no indemnification obligation for any Damages that arise from or were caused by actions taken or actions not taken by the Indemnified Party.

(ii)

There shall be no indemnification obligation for any Damages that the Indemnified Party had an opportunity but failed in good faith to mitigate, to the extent that failure to so mitigate would result in a reduction of Damages recoverable under applicable principles of contract law.

(iii)

For purposes of this Section 12.4, a “Particular Indemnification Claim” shall mean all assertions of Damages and causes of action made by a third party against the Indemnified Party that arise out of a single event, act, or omission or related series of events, acts, or omissions. In the event that an Indemnification Claim takes the form of a class action lawsuit, it is understood that each class member shall constitute an individual third party, and each class member’s claim shall constitute a Particular Indemnification Claim.

(iv)

In no event shall an Indemnifying Party be liable for indemnification payments for Damages, or for any other Damages or liability in excess of $300,000 per Particular Indemnification Claim, provided however that there shall be no limitation if the Indemnifying Party’s liability for indemnification payments were incurred as a result of Indemnifying Party’s bad faith or willful misconduct.

(v)

The parties agree that they wish to avoid de minimus indemnification payments. Accordingly, until and unless the aggregate amount of Damages exceeds $50,000, no indemnification payment for Damages or other liability under this Agreement will be due from one party to the other.

(vi)

Notwithstanding anything in this Article 12 to the contrary, the definition of “Damages” in Section 12 includes only direct damages and the term “Damages” does not include, and in no event shall an Indemnifying Party be liable for, any (i) punitive damages or interest or special, incidental, indirect or consequential damages suffered by Indemnified Party.

(vii)

In no event shall an Indemnifying Party be liable for indemnification payments or any other Damages or liability under this Agreement in an aggregate amount exceeding $10,000,000.

The provisions of this Article 12 shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement BUT ONLY for terminations pursuant to Sections 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, and 7.8 and then only with respect to Indemnification Claims that arose from acts or circumstances occurring prior to such termination or expiration.

12.5 Limitation of Obligations. The obligations of the parties under this Article 12 are independent of the provisions of Article 13.

Article 13

Dispute Resolution and Arbitration

13.1 Intention. It is the intention of Customer and Liberty that the customs and practices of the securities, insurance and related administration industry will be given full effect in the operation and interpretation of this Agreement to the extent such customs and practices are consistent with the applicable Federal Securities Laws, state insurance laws, and related rules and regulations. The parties agree to act in all matters with good faith.

13.2 Dispute Resolution. The parties will use reasonable efforts to resolve any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement through a meeting of the person(s) identified on Exhibit 3.4.2 representing Customer and the Customer account managers or an executive of Liberty representing Liberty. If the parties are unable to resolve the dispute, either party may escalate the dispute to its executives. If an executive level meeting fails to resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days after escalation, the dispute will be decided through arbitration.

13.3. Process. To initiate arbitration, either Liberty or Customer will notify the other party by certified mail of its desire to arbitrate, stating the nature of the dispute and the remedy sought. The party to which the notice is sent will respond to the notification in writing within ten (10) days of its receipt.

There will be three (3) arbitrators who will be current or former officers of life insurance or insurance administration companies other than the parties to this Agreement, their parent, affiliates or subsidiaries. Each of the three arbitrators will be impartial regarding the dispute. Each of the parties to this Agreement will appoint one of the arbitrators and these two will select

the third. If either party refuses or neglects to appoint an arbitrator within sixty (60) days after the other party has given written notice to the other of its arbitrator appointment, the party that has given notice may appoint the second arbitrator. If the two arbitrators do not agree on a third arbitrator within thirty (30) days of the appointment of the second arbitrator, then Liberty and Customer will each name three candidates to serve as the third arbitrator. Beginning with the party that did not initiate arbitration, each party will eliminate one candidate from the six until one remains. If this last remaining candidate declines to serve as the arbitrator, then the candidate previously last eliminated will be approached to serve. This process will be repeated until a candidate has agreed to serve as the third arbitrator.

13.4. Arbitration Hearing. The arbitration hearing will be held on the date set by the arbitrators at a mutually agreed upon location. In no event will this date be later than four (4) months after the appointment of the third arbitrator. As soon as possible, the arbitrators will establish arbitration procedures as warranted by the facts and issues of the particular case. At least fifteen (15) days prior to the arbitration hearing, each party will provide the other party(s) and the arbitrators with a detailed statement of the facts and arguments it will present at the arbitration hearing. The arbitrators will have the power to decide all substantive and procedural rules of the arbitration including but not limited to inspection of documents, examination of witnesses and any other matter relating to the conduct of the arbitration.

13.5 Decision. The arbitrators will base their decision on the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the customs and practices of the insurance and the insurance administration industries rather than on strict interpretation of the law. The decision of the arbitrators will be made by majority rule, submitted in writing, and will be final and binding on both parties. There will be no appeal from the decision. Either party to the arbitration may petition any court having jurisdiction over the parties to reduce the decision to judgment.

13.6 Costs of Arbitration. Unless the arbitrators decide otherwise, each party will bear the expense of its own arbitration activities, including its appointed arbitrator and any outside attorney and witness fees. The parties will jointly bear the expense of the third arbitrator.
