THIS AGREEMENT, made as of the 30^th day of April, 2007, by and between ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ADVISERS MANAGEMENT TRUST (“TRUST”), ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ MANAGEMENT INC. (“NB MANAGEMENT”), a New York corporation, and THE NORTHWESTERN MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY (“LIFE COMPANY”), a life insurance company organized under the laws of the State of Wisconsin.

WHEREAS, TRUST is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“40 Act”) as an open-end, diversified management investment company; and

WHEREAS, TRUST is organized as a series fund comprised of several portfolios (“Portfolios”), the currently available of which are listed on Appendix A hereto; and

WHEREAS, TRUST was organized to act as the funding vehicle for certain variable life insurance and/or variable annuity contracts offered by life insurance companies through separate accounts of such life insurance companies (“Participating Insurance Companies”) and also offers its shares to certain qualified pension and retirement plans; and

WHEREAS, TRUST has received an order from the SEC, dated May 5, 1995 (File No. 812-9164), granting Participating Insurance Companies and their separate accounts exemptions from the provisions of Sections 9(a), 13(a), 15(a) and 15(b) of the ‘40 Act, and Rules 6e-2(b)(15) and 6e-3(T)(b)(15) thereunder, to the extent necessary to permit shares of the Portfolios of the TRUST to be sold to and held by variable annuity and variable life insurance separate accounts of both affiliated and unaffiliated life insurance companies and certain qualified pension and retirement plans (the “Order”); and

WHEREAS, LIFE COMPANY has established or will establish one or more separate accounts (“Separate Accounts”) to offer variable contracts (“Variable Contracts”) and is desirous of having TRUST as one of the underlying funding vehicles for such Variable Contracts; and

WHEREAS, NB MANAGEMENT is registered with the SEC as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and as a broker-dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; and

WHEREAS, NB MANAGEMENT is the investment manager and administrator of the Portfolios of the Trust and distributor of the shares of each Portfolio of TRUST; and

WHEREAS, to the extent permitted by applicable insurance laws and regulations, LIFE COMPANY intends to purchase shares of TRUST to fund the aforementioned Variable Contracts and TRUST is authorized to sell such shares to LIFE COMPANY at net asset value;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of their mutual promises, LIFE COMPANY, TRUST, and NB MANAGEMENT agree as follows:

Article I. SALE OF TRUST SHARES

1.1 TRUST agrees to make available for purchase by the LIFE COMPANY to fund its Separate Accounts, shares of the Portfolios as listed in Appendix B, which Appendix B may be amended by mutual agreement of the parties, at the net asset value next computed after receipt by the TRUST or its designee of the order for the shares.

1.2 TRUST agrees to sell to LIFE COMPANY those shares of the selected Portfolios of TRUST which LIFE COMPANY orders, executing such orders on a daily basis at the net asset value next computed after receipt by TRUST or its designee of the order for the shares of TRUST. For purposes of this Section 1.2, LIFE COMPANY shall be the designee of TRUST for receipt of such orders from LIFE COMPANY and receipt by such designee shall constitute receipt by TRUST; provided that TRUST receives notice of such order by 10:00 a.m. New York Time on the next following Business Day. “Business Day” shall mean any day on which the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading and on which TRUST calculates its net asset value pursuant to the rules of the SEC.

1.3 TRUST agrees to redeem for cash, on LIFE COMPANY’s request, any full or fractional shares of TRUST held by LIFE COMPANY, executing such requests on a daily basis at the net asset value next computed after receipt by TRUST or its designee of the request for redemption. For purposes of this Section 1.3, LIFE COMPANY shall be the designee of TRUST for receipt of requests for redemption from LIFE COMPANY and receipt by such designee shall constitute receipt by TRUST; provided that TRUST receives notice of such request for redemption by 10:00 a.m. New York time on the next following Business Day.

1.4 TRUST shall furnish, on or before the ex-dividend date, notice to LIFE COMPANY of any income dividends or capital gain distributions payable on the shares of any Portfolio of TRUST. LIFE COMPANY hereby elects to receive all such income dividends and capital gain distributions as are payable on a Portfolio’s shares in additional shares of the Portfolio. TRUST shall notify LIFE COMPANY of the number of shares so issued as payment of such dividends and distributions. LIFE COMPANY reserves the right to revoke this election by written notice to the Trust.

1.5 TRUST shall make the net asset value per share for the selected Portfolio(s) available to LIFE COMPANY on a daily basis as soon as reasonably practicable after the net asset value per share is calculated but shall use its best efforts to make such net asset value available by 6:00 p.m. New York time. If TRUST is unable to meet the 6:00 p.m. time stated herein, it shall provide additional time for the LIFE COMPANY to make any applicable purchase payments; If TRUST provides LIFE COMPANY with materially incorrect share net asset value information through no fault of LIFE COMPANY, LIFE COMPANY on behalf of the Separate Accounts, shall be entitled to an adjustment to the number of shares purchased or redeemed to reflect the correct share net asset value. Any material error (determined in accordance with SEC guidelines) in the calculation of net asset value per share, dividend or capital gain information shall be reported promptly upon discovery to LIFE COMPANY. In the event that such material error is the result of the TRUST’s (or its designated agents) negligence, TRUST and NB Management shall also be responsible for any of LIFE COMPANY’s administrative or other costs or losses incurred in correcting Variable Contract Owner accounts.

1.6 At the end of each Business Day, LIFE COMPANY shall use the information described in Section 1.5 to calculate Separate Account unit values for the day. Using these unit values, LIFE COMPANY shall process each such Business Day’s Separate Account transactions, based on requests and premiums received by it as of the time at which the TRUST calculates its share prices as disclosed in the prospectus for the TRUST, to determine the net dollar amount of TRUST shares which shall be purchased or redeemed at that day’s closing net asset values per share. The net share purchase or redemption orders so determined shall be transmitted to TRUST by LIFE COMPANY by 10:00 a.m. New York Time on the Business Day next following LIFE COMPANY’s receipt of such requests and premiums in accordance with the terms of Sections 1.2 and 1.3 hereof.

1.7 If LIFE COMPANY’s order requests the net purchase of TRUST shares, LIFE COMPANY shall pay for such purchase by wiring federal funds to TRUST or its designated custodial account on the day the order is actually transmitted by LIFE COMPANY by 3:00 p.m. New York Time. If LIFE COMPANY’s order requests a net redemption resulting in a payment of redemption proceeds to LIFE COMPANY, TRUST shall wire the redemption proceeds to LIFE COMPANY on the day the order is actually received by TRUST by 3:00 p.m. New York Time unless doing so would require TRUST to dispose of portfolio securities or otherwise incur additional costs, but in such event, proceeds shall be wired to LIFE COMPANY within five days of LIFE COMPANY’s order to enable LIFE COMPANY to pay redemption proceeds within the time specified in Section 22(e) of the ‘40 Act. In the event of such delay, TRUST shall notify the person designated in writing by LIFE COMPANY as the recipient for such notice of such delay by 3:00 p.m. New York Time the same Business Day that LIFE COMPANY transmits the redemption order

to TRUST. If LIFE COMPANY’s order requests the application of redemption proceeds from the redemption of shares to the purchase of shares of another Portfolio or fund administered or distributed by NB MANAGEMENT, TRUST shall so apply such proceeds on the same Business Day that LIFE COMPANY transmits such order to TRUST.

1.8 Notwithstanding Section 1.7, TRUST reserves the right to suspend the right of redemption or postpone the date of payment or satisfaction upon redemption consistent with Section 22(e) of the ‘40 Act and any rules thereunder.

1.9 TRUST agrees that all shares of the Portfolios of TRUST will be sold only to Participating Insurance Companies which have agreed to participate in TRUST to fund their Separate Accounts and/or to certain qualified pension and other retirement plans, all in accordance with the requirements of Section 817(h) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code”) and Treasury Regulation 1.817-5, and which have entered into an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as in this Agreement. Shares of the Portfolios of TRUST will not be sold directly to the general public.

1.10 Nothwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Agreement, TRUST may refuse to sell shares of any Portfolio to any person, or suspend or terminate the offering of the shares of any Portfolio if such action is required by law or by regulatory authorities having jurisdiction or is, in the sole discretion of the Board of Trustees of TRUST, acting in good faith and in light of its fiduciary duties under federal and any applicable state laws, deemed necessary and in the best interests of the shareholders of such Portfolios (it being understood for this purpose that “shareholders” refers to Variable Contract owners). Any suspension or termination pursuant to this provision shall become effective 10 Business Days after LIFE COMPANY’s receipt of written notice in order to give LIFE COMPANY sufficient time to take appropriate steps.

Article V. POTENTIAL CONFLICTS

5.1 The Board of Trustees of TRUST (the “Board”) will monitor TRUST for the existence of any material irreconcilable conflict between the interests of the Variable Contract owners of Participating Insurance Company Separate Accounts investing in the TRUST. A material irreconcilable conflict may arise for a variety of reasons, including: (a) state insurance regulatory authority action; (b) a change in applicable federal or state insurance, tax, or securities laws or regulations, or a public ruling, private letter ruling, or any similar action by insurance, tax, or securities regulatory authorities; (c) an administrative or judicial decision in any relevant proceeding; (d) the manner in which the investments of the TRUST are being managed; (e) a difference in voting instructions given by variable annuity and variable life insurance contract owners or by contract owners of different Participating Insurance Companies; or (f) a decision by a Participating Insurance Company to disregard voting instructions of Variable Contract owners.

5.2 LIFE COMPANY will report any potential or existing conflicts of which it becomes aware to the Board. LIFE COMPANY will be responsible for assisting the Board in carrying out its

responsibilities under the Conditions set forth in the notice issued by the SEC for the TRUST on April 12, 1995 (the “Notice”) (Investment Company Act Release No. 21003), by providing the Board with all information reasonably necessary for it to consider any issues raised. This responsibility includes, but is not limited to, an obligation by LIFE COMPANY to inform the Board whenever Variable Contract owner voting instructions are disregarded by LIFE COMPANY. These responsibilities will be carried out with a view only to the interests of the Variable Contract owners.

5.3 If a majority of the Board or a majority of its disinterested trustees determines that a material irreconcilable conflict exists, affecting the LIFE COMPANY, LIFE COMPANY, at its expense and to the extent reasonably practicable (as determined by a majority of disinterested trustees), will take any steps necessary to remedy or eliminate the irreconcilable material conflict, including: (a) withdrawing the assets allocable to some or all of the Separate Accounts from the TRUST or any Portfolio thereof and reinvesting those assets in a different investment medium, which may include another Portfolio of TRUST or another investment company or submitting the question as to whether such segregation should be implemented to a vote of all affected Variable Contract owners and, as appropriate, segregating the assets of any appropriate group (i.e., Variable Contract owners of one or more Participating Insurance Companies) that votes in favor of such segregation, or offering to the affected Variable Contract owners the option of making such a change; and (b) establishing a new registered management investment company or managed separate account. If a material irreconcilable conflict arises because of LIFE COMPANY’s decision to disregard Variable Contract owner voting instructions, and that decision represents a minority position or would preclude a majority vote, LIFE COMPANY may be required, at the election of the TRUST, to withdraw its Separate Account’s investment in the TRUST, and no charge or penalty will be imposed as a result of such withdrawal. The responsibility to take such remedial action shall be carried out with a view only to the interests of the Variable Contract owners.

For the purposes of this Section 5.3, a majority of the disinterested members of the Board shall determine whether or not any proposed action adequately remedies any material irreconcilable conflict, but in no event will the TRUST or NB MANAGEMENT (or any other investment adviser of the TRUST) be required to establish a new funding medium for any Variable Contract. Further, LIFE COMPANY shall not be required by this Section 5.3 to establish a new funding medium for any Variable Contract if any offer to do so has been declined by a vote of a majority of Variable Contract owners materially affected by the irreconcilable material conflict.

5.4 The Board’s determination of the existence of a material irreconcilable conflict and its implications shall be made known promptly and in writing to LIFE COMPANY.

5.5 No less than annually. LIFE COMPANY shall submit to the Board 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 these Conditions. Such reports, materials. and data shall be submitted more frequently if deemed appropriate by the Board.

Article VI. VOTING

6.1 LIFE COMPANY will provide pass-through voting privileges to all Variable Contract owners so long as the SEC continues to interpret the ‘40 Act as requiring pass-through voting privileges for Variable Contract owners. Accordingly, LIFE COMPANY, where applicable. will vote shares of TRUST held by its Separate Accounts in a manner consistent with voting instructions timely received from its Variable Contract owners. LIFE COMPANY shall vote shares for which it has not received timely voting instructions, as well as shares it owns, in the same proportion as it votes those shares for which it has received voting instructions.

6.2 If and to the extent 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 ‘40 Act or the rules thereunder with respect to mixed and shared funding on terms and conditions materially different from any exemptions granted in the Order, then TRUST and/or LIFE COMPANY, as appropriate, shall take such steps as may be necessary to comply with Rule 6e-2 and Rule 6e-3(n, as amended, and Rule 6e-3, as adopted. to the extent such Rules are applicable.

Article VII. INDEMNIFICATION

7.1 Indemnification by LIFE COMPANY. LIFE COMPANY agrees to indemnify and hold harmless TRUST and NB MANAGEMENT and each of their Trustees, directors, officers, employees and agents and each person, if any. who controls TRUST or NB MANAGEMENT within the meaning of Section 15 of the ‘33 Act (excluding any Participating Insurance Company) (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties” for purposes of Sections 7.1, 7.2, 7.3 and 7.4 below) against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities (including amounts paid in settlement with the written consent of LIFE COMPANY, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) or litigation (including legal fees and other expenses), to which the Indemnified Parties may become subject under any statute, regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) or settlements are related to the sale or acquisition of, or investments in, TRUST’s shares or the Variable Contracts issued by LIFE COMPANY and:

(a)

arise out of or are based upon any untrue statements or alleged untrue statements of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement,

prospectus, offering memorandum, or sales literature for the Variable Contracts or contained in the Variable 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 by or on behalf of TRUST for use in the registration statement, prospectus, offering memorandum or sales literature for the Variable Contracts or in the Variable Contracts (or any amendment or supplement) or otherwise for use in connection with the sale of the Variable Contracts or TRUST shares; or

(b)

arise out of or as a result of statements or representations (other than statements or representations contained in the registration statement, prospectus or sales literature of TRUST not supplied by LIFE COMPANY, or persons under its control) or wrongful conduct of LIFE COMPANY or any of its directors, officers, employees or agents, with respect to the sale or distribution of the Variable Contracts or TRUST shares; or

(c)

arise out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a registration statement, prospectus, or sales literature of TRUST or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto 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 or such alleged statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to TRUST for inclusion therein by or on behalf of LIFE COMPANY; or

(d)

arise as a result of any material failure by LIFE COMPANY to provide the services and furnish the materials under the terms of this Agreement; or

(e)

arise out of or result from any material breach of any representation and/or warranty made by LIFE COMPANY in this Agreement or arise out of or result from any other material breach of this Agreement by LIFE COMPANY.

7.2 LIFE COMPANY shall not be liable under this indemnification provision with respect to any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or litigation incurred or assessed against an Indemnified Party as such may arise from such 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 or duties under this Agreement or to TRUST, whichever is applicable.

7.3 LIFE COMPANY shall not be liable under this indemnification provision with respect to any claim made against an Indemnified Party unless such Indemnified Party shall have notified LIFE 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 LIFE COMPANY of any such claim shall not relieve LIFE COMPANY from any liability which it may have to the Indemnified Party against whom such action is brought otherwise than on account of this indemnification provision. In case any such action is brought against an Indemnified Party, LIFE COMPANY shall be entitled to participate at its own expense in the defense of such action. LIFE COMPANY also shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the party named in the action. After notice from LIFE COMPANY to such party of LIFE 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 LIFE 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.

7.4 The Indemnified Parties shall promptly notify LIFE COMPANY of the commencement of any litigation or proceedings against them in connection with the issuance or sale of TRUST shares, the Variable Contracts, or the operation of the TRUST. The Indemnified Parties also shall promptly notify LIFE COMPANY of the receipt of any written threats of litigation or written grievances relating to the LIFE COMPANY or the Variable Contracts.

7.5 Indemnification by NB MANAGEMENT. NB MANAGEMENT agrees to indemnify and hold harmless LIFE COMPANY and each of its directors, officers, employees, and agents and each person, if any, who controls LIFE COMPANY within the meaning of Section 15 of the ‘33 Act (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties” for the purposes of Sections 7.5, 7.6, 7.7 and 7.8 below) against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities (including amounts paid in settlement with the written consent of NB MANAGEMENT which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) or litigation (including legal fees and other expenses) to which the Indemnified Parties may become subject under any statute, or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) or settlements are

related to the sale or acquisition of, or investments in, TRUST’s shares or the Variable Contracts issued by LIFE COMPANY and:

(a)

arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the registration statement, prospectus or sales literature of TRUST (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 NB MANAGEMENT or TRUST by or on behalf of LIFE COMPANY for use in the registration statement or prospectus for TRUST or in sales literature (or any amendment or supplement) or otherwise for use in connection with the sale of the Variable Contracts or TRUST shares; or

(b)

arise out of or as a result of statements or representations (other than statements or representations contained in the registration statement, offering memorandum, prospectus or sales literature for the Variable Contracts not supplied by NB MANAGEMENT or persons under its control) or wrongful conduct of TRUST or NB MANAGEMENT or persons under their control, with respect to the sale or distribution of the Variable Contracts or TRUST shares; or

(c)

arise out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a registration statement, prospectus, sales literature, or other promotional material covering the Variable Contracts, or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, 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 or such alleged statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to LIFE COMPANY for inclusion therein by or on behalf of TRUST or NB MANAGEMENT; or

(d)

arise as a result of (i) a material failure by TRUST or NB MANAGEMENT to provide the services and furnish the materials under the terms of this Agreement; or (ii) a failure by a Portfolio(s) invested in by the Separate Account to comply with the diversification requirements of Section 817(h)

of the Code; or (iii) a failure by a Portfolio(s) invested in by the Separate Account to qualify as a “regulated investment company” under Subchapter M of the Code; or

(e)

arise out of or result from any material breach of any representation and/or warranty made by NB MANAGEMENT or TRUST in this Agreement or arise out of or result from any other material breach of this Agreement by NB MANAGEMENT or TRUST; or

(f)

arise as a result of TRUST’s or NB MANAGEMENT’s (or their designated agent’s) (i) incorrect calculation of share net asset value, income dividends or capital gain distributions of any Portfolio; (ii) incorrect reporting of the share net asset value, income dividends or capital gain distributions of any Portfolio; or (iii) untimely reporting of share net asset value, income dividend or capital gain distributions of any Portfolio.

7.6 NB MANAGEMENT shall not be liable under this indemnification provision with respect to any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or litigation to which an Indemnified Party would otherwise be subject by reason of such 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 LIFE COMPANY.

7.7 NB MANAGEMENT shall not be liable under this indemnification provision with respect to any claim made against an Indemnified Party unless such Indemnified Party shall have notified NB MANAGEMENT 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 NB MANAGEMENT of any such claim shall not relieve NB MANAGEMENT from any liability which it may have to the Indemnified Party against whom such action is brought otherwise than on account of this indemnification provision. In case any such action is brought against the Indemnified Parties, NB MANAGEMENT shall be entitled to participate at its own expense in the defense thereof. NB MANAGEMENT also shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the party named in the action and to settle the claim at its own expense; provided, however, that no such settlement shall include any factual stipulation referring to the Indemnified Parties or their conduct without the Indemnified Parties’ written consent. After notice from NB MANAGEMENT to such party of NB MANAGEMENT’s election to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnified Party shall bear the. fees and expenses of any additional counsel retained by it, and NB MANAGEMENT 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.

7.8 The Indemnified Parties shall promptly notify NB MANAGEMENT of the commencement of any litigation or proceedings against them in connection with the issuance or sale of TRUST shares, the issuance or sale of the Variable Contracts, or the operation of the TRUST.

7.9 The provision of this Article VII shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

(b)

At the option of LIFE COMPANY, if Portfolio shares are not reasonably available to meet the requirements of the Variable Contracts as determined by LIFE COMPANY; provided that such termination shall apply only to the Portfolio whose shares are not reasonably available;

(c)

At the option of LIFE COMPANY, if LIFE COMPANY shall determine, in its sole judgment exercised in good faith, that either TRUST or NB MANAGEMENT has suffered a material adverse change in its business, operations, financial condition or prospects since the date of this Agreement, or is subject to material adverse publicity.

(d)

At the option of LIFE COMPANY, upon the institution of formal proceedings against TRUST or NB MANAGEMENT by the SEC, the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., or any other regulatory body, the expected or anticipated ruling, judgment or outcome of which

Prompt written notice of election to terminate shall be furnished by LIFE COMPANY with said termination to be effective upon receipt of written notice;

(e)

At the option of TRUST, if TRUST shall determine, in its sole judgment exercised in good faith, that LIFE COMPANY has suffered a material adverse change in its business, operations, financial condition or prospects since the date of this Agreement, or is subject to material adverse publicity. Prompt written notice of election to terminate shall be furnished by TRUST with said termination to be effective upon receipt of written notice;

(f)

At the option of TRUST, upon the institution of formal proceedings against LIFE COMPANY by the SEC, the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., or any other regulatory body, the expected or anticipated ruling, judgment or outcome of which would, in TRUST’s reasonable judgment, materially impair LIFE COMPANY’s ability to meet and perform its obligations and duties hereunder.

(h)

At the option of TRUST if the Variable Contracts cease to qualify as annuity contracts or life insurance contracts, as applicable, under the Code, or if TRUST reasonably believes that the Variable Contracts will fail to so qualify, where such failure to qualify is not attributable to any action or absence of action on the part of TRUST or NB MANAGEMENT. Termination shall be effective upon receipt of notice by LIFE COMPANY;

At the option of LIFE COMPANY, upon TRUST’s breach of any material provision of this Agreement, which breach has not been cured to the satisfaction of LIFE COMPANY within ten days after written notice of such breach is delivered to TRUST;

Specifically, without limitation, if LIFE COMPANY so elects to make additional TRUST shares available, the owners of the Existing Contracts or LIFE COMPANY, whichever shall have legal authority to do so, shall be permitted to reallocate investments in TRUST, redeem investments in TRUST and/or invest in TRUST upon the payment of additional premiums under the Existing Contracts. In the event of a termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.2 hereof, LIFE COMPANY, as promptly as is practicable under the circumstances, shall notify TRUST and NB MANAGEMENT

whether LIFE COMPANY elects to continue to make TRUST shares available after such termination. If TRUST shares continue to be made available after such termination, all applicable provisions of this Agreement shall remain in effect until such time as the LIFE COMPANY elects to discontinue the availability of TRUST shares under the Variable Contracts.

8.4 Except as necessary to implement Variable Contract owner initiated transactions or other transactions described in the prospectus or offering memorandum for the Variable Contracts, or as required by state insurance laws or regulations, or other applicable legal precedent, or as necessary to effect a substitution (including but not limited to, a substitution permitted by the SEC pursuant to Section 26(c) of the ‘40 Act), LIFE COMPANY shall not redeem the shares attributable to the Variable Contracts (as opposed to the shares attributable to LIFE COMPANY’s assets held in the Separate Accounts or invested directly), and LIFE COMPANY shall not prevent Variable Contract owners from allocating payments to a Portfolio that was otherwise available under the Variable Contracts, until thirty (30) days after the LIFE COMPANY shall have notified TRUST of its intention to do so.

8.5 In the event that the Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.2(b), 8.2(c), 8.2(d), 8.2(g), 8.2(i), 8.2(1), or 8.2(m) or TRUST chooses to liquidate or liquidate a Portfolio, TRUST shall reimburse LIFE COMPANY for all expenses that LIFE COMPANY reasonably incurs in connection with the substitution of shares of another investment company or companies for the shares of the Portfolio(s) as to which the Agreement has been terminated.
