and
Phoenix Life Insurance Company
FUND PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT, made as of the 1st day of May, 2006, by and between
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ADVISERS MANAGEMENT TRUST ("TRUST") a Delaware business trust,
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ MANAGEMENT INC. ("NB MANAGEMENT"), a New York corporation, and
PHOENIX LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY ("LIFE COMPANY"), a life insurance company
organized under the laws of the State of New York.
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 ("Variable Contracts")
offered by life insurance companies through separate accounts of such life
insurance companies ("Participating Insurance Companies"); 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 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 to the Separate Accounts of LIFE
COMPANY shares of the selected Portfolios as listed in Appendix B for investment
of proceeds from Variable Contracts allocated to the designated Separate
Accounts, such shares to be offered as provided in TRUST's Prospectus.
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 9:30 a.m. Eastern standard time on
the next following Business Day. "Business Day" shall mean any day on which the
New York Stock Exchange is open for trading.
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
9:30 a.m. Eastern standard 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 6:30 p.m. Eastern
standard time. 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)
gross negligence,
2
the Trust 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 by the time as of which the TRUST calculates its share price 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 value per share. The net share purchase or redemption orders so determined
shall be transmitted to TRUST by LIFE COMPANY by 9:30 a.m. Eastern standard 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. Eastern standard 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. Eastern standard 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 seven days and 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. Eastern standard 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 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. Shares of the Portfolios of TRUST will not be sold directly
to the general public.
1.10 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
3
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.

of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein
have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, partnership or trust
action, as applicable, by such party, and, when so executed and delivered, this
Agreement will be the valid and binding obligation of such party enforceable in
accordance with its terms.
2.16 LIFE COMPANY represents and warrants that all orders for the
purchase and sale of TRUST shares submitted to the TRUST (or counted by LIFE
COMPANY in submitting a net order under Section 1.6 of the Agreement) for
execution at a price based on the net asset value per share ("NAV") of the
Trust's Portfolios next computed after receipt by LIFE COMPANY on a particular
Business day, will have been received in good order by LIFE COMPANY prior to the
time as of which the TRUST calculates its NAV on that Business Day, as disclosed
in the prospectus for the pertinent Portfolio (the "trading deadline"), in
accordance with Rule 22c-1 under the 1940 Act (subject only to exceptions as
permitted under Rule 22c-1(c) under the 1940 Act, respecting initial purchase
payments on variable annuity contracts, and to the established administrative
procedures of LIFE COMPANY as described under Rule 6e-3(T), paragraph
(b)(12)(iii) under the 1940 Act respecting premium processing for variable life
insurance contracts).
The TRUST may refuse to sell Shares of any Series to any person, or
suspend or terminate the offering of the Shares of any Series 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 the TRUST (the "Board"), deemed
necessary, desirable or appropriate. Without limiting the foregoing, it has been
determined that there is a significant risk that the TRUST and its shareholders
may be adversely affected by short-term or excessive trading activity,
particularly activity used to try and take advantage of short-term swings in the
market. Accordingly, the TRUST reserves the right to reject any purchase order,
including those purchase orders with respect to shareholders or accounts whose
trading has been or may be disruptive to the TRUST or that may otherwise
adversely affect the Trust. The LIFE COMPANY agrees to use its reasonable best
efforts to render assistance to, and to cooperate with, the TRUST to achieve
compliance with the TRUST's policies and restrictions on short-term or excessive
trading activity as they may be amended from time to time, or to the extent
required by applicable regulatory requirements.
2.17 In the prospectus for the Portfolios, the TRUST reserves the right
to reject an investment or exchange order or to withdraw the exchange privilege
from any investor that NB MANAGEMENT believes is trying to "time the market" or
is otherwise making exchanges that ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Management Inc. believes to
be excessive (collectively, these practices are referred to herein as "excessive
short-term trading"). The Trust prospectus also discloses, and NB MANAGEMENT and
LIFE COMPANY acknowledge, that frequent exchanges can interfere with fund
management and affect costs and performance for other shareholders. Accordingly,
LIFE COMPANY agrees that it will cooperate with NB MANAGEMENT and the TRUST, by
taking steps acceptable to NB MANAGEMENT and the TRUST to prevent its contract
owners
6
from excessive short-term trading in any Portfolio of the TRUST, which
may include any one or more of the following measures: (i) by providing
information, upon reasonable request, to NB MANAGEMENT and the TRUST, about cash
flows into and out of any of the Portfolios from the separate accounts of LIFE
COMPANY; (ii) by providing information, upon reasonable request, to NB
MANAGEMENT and the TRUST, about any policies and procedures that LIFE COMPANY
employs respecting frequent transfers of contract value among sub-accounts of
the Separate Accounts, and about compliance with any such policies and
procedures; (iii) by providing information, upon reasonable request, to NB
MANAGEMENT and the TRUST respecting Variable Contract owner transactions,
holdings and other information pertinent to the prevention of excessive
short-term trading (although NB MANAGEMENT and TRUST acknowledge that such
information need not include information that would identify owners of the
Variable Contracts); (iv) by taking steps necessary, upon reasonable request of
NB MANAGEMENT or the TRUST, to eliminate or prevent excessive short-term
trading, including, but not limited to, restricting or withdrawing exchange
privileges from Variable Contract owners that engage in excessive short-term
trading to the extent permitted under applicable law and the terms of the
Variable Contracts, and/or restricting and/or withdrawing a Variable Contract
owner's ability to make exchanges through automated means such as telephone,
fax, or internet transmission; and (v) to the extent required by applicable
laws, rules, or regulations, or in the event the LIFE COMPANY has the ability to
do so, the LIFE COMPANY will provide the TRUST the Taxpayer Identification
Number or other identifying information contained in the LIFE COMPANY's records,
of any particular or all Variable Contract owners that purchased, redeemed,
transferred, or exchanged Shares, and the amount and dates of such purchases,
redemptions, transfers and exchanges. The LIFE COMPANY will also execute any
instructions from the TRUST to restrict or prohibit further purchases or
exchanges of Shares by a Variable Contract owner who has been identified by the
LIFE COMPANY or the TRUST as having engaged in transactions in such Shares that
violate the TRUST's policies and restrictions on short term or excessive trading
activity. In addition, the LIFE COMPANY understands that consistent with federal
and state laws, the Fund may impose redemption fees on the redemption of Shares
held for a short period of time as may be specified in the TRUST's prospectuses,
and the LIFE COMPANY agrees that, to the extent it may make such Portfolio
available, it will ensure that any redemption by a Variable Contract owner will
comply with such requirements.
2.18 LIFE COMPANY will, upon reasonable request, certify to the TRUST and
NB MANAGEMENT that LIFE COMPANY is in compliance with Items 2.16 and/or 2.17
above.
Article III. PROSPECTUS AND PROXY STATEMENTS
-------------------------------
3.1 TRUST shall prepare and be responsible for filing with the SEC and
any state regulators requiring such filing all shareholder reports, notices,
proxy materials (or similar materials such as voting instruction solicitation
materials), prospectuses and statements of additional information of TRUST.
TRUST shall bear the costs of registration and qualification of shares of the
Portfolios, preparation and filing of the documents listed in this Section 3.1

COMPANY (regardless of whether such documents are printed together with, or

(i) prospectuses and statements of additional information;
(ii) annual and semi-annual reports; and
(iii) proxy materials (including, but not limited to, the proxy
cards, notice and statement, as well as the costs associated
with tabulating votes).
LIFE COMPANY will submit any bills for printing, duplicating and/or
mailing costs, relating to the TRUST documents described above, to TRUST for
reimbursement by TRUST. LIFE COMPANY shall monitor such costs and shall use its
best efforts to control these costs. Upon submission of any bills, LIFE COMPANY
will provide TRUST with a current tabulation of the number of existing Variable
Contract owners of LIFE COMPANY whose Variable Contract values are invested in
TRUST. This tabulation will be sent to TRUST in the form of a letter signed by a
duly authorized officer of LIFE COMPANY attesting to the accuracy of the
information contained in the letter. If requested by LIFE COMPANY, the TRUST
shall provide such documentation (including a final copy of the TRUST's
prospectus in electronic pdf format) and other assistance as is reasonably
necessary in order for LIFE COMPANY to print together in one document the
current prospectus for the Variable Contracts issued by LIFE COMPANY and the
current prospectus for the TRUST.
3.3 TRUST will provide, at its expense, LIFE COMPANY with the following
TRUST (or individual Portfolio) documents, and any supplements thereto, with

supplements to any of the above that
8
relate to the Portfolios promptly after the filing of each such document with
the SEC or other regulatory authority. LIFE COMPANY will provide TRUST with at
least one complete copy of all prospectuses, statements of additional
information, annual and semi-annual reports, proxy statements, exemptive
applications and all amendments or supplements to any of the above thatrelate to
a Separate Account promptly after the filing of each such document with the SEC
or other regulatory authority.
Article IV. SALES MATERIALS; PRIVACY

4.1 LIFE COMPANY will furnish, or will cause to be furnished, to TRUST
and NB MANAGEMENT, each piece of sales literature or other promotional material

4.3 TRUST and its affiliates and agents shall not give any information
or make any representations on behalf of LIFE COMPANY or concerning LIFE
COMPANY, the Separate Accounts, or the Variable Contracts issued by LIFE
COMPANY, other than the information or representations contained in a

registration statement and prospectus may be amended or supplemented from time

other promotional material approved by LIFE COMPANY or its designee, except with
the written permission of LIFE COMPANY.
4.4 LIFE COMPANY and its affiliates and agents shall not give any

written permission of TRUST.
4.5 For purposes of this Agreement, the phrase "sales literature or
other promotional material" or words of similar import include, without
limitation, advertisements (such as material published, or designed for use, in
a newspaper, magazine or other periodical, radio, television, telephone or tape
recording, videotape display, signs or billboards, motion pictures or other
public media), sales literature (such as any written communication distributed

information until such time as it may come into the public domain without the
express written consent of the affected party. Each party hereto shall be solely
responsible for the compliance of their officers, directors, employees, agents,
independent contractors, and any affiliated and non-affiliated third parties
with all applicable privacy-related laws and regulations including but not
limited to the ▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇ Act and Regulation S-P. The provisions of this
Section 4.6 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
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 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,
10
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, the TRUST will request from the LIFE COMPANY
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 requested 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
11
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(T), 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 (collectively, the
"Indemnified Parties" for purposes of this Article VII) 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 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:
(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, 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 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
12
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 failure by LIFE COMPANY to
substantially 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 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 this Article VII) 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 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:
13
(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, 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, or sales literature 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
(d) arise as a result of (i) a failure by TRUST to substantially
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.
14
7.5 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.
7.6 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. 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.
7.7 The provision of this Article VII shall survive the termination of
this Agreement.

make available additional TRUST shares, as provided below, for so long as LIFE
COMPANY desires pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, for all

termination, the provisions of this Agreement shall remain in effect.

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.
