     WHEREAS, upon such notification, in order to receive and transmit orders for Portfolio shares via Fund/SERV, it is intended that American Century and the Company, or their duly authorized agents, will establish an account using Fund/SERV (the “Fund/SERV Account”) that will reflect corresponding transactions and Portfolio share balances in the T/A Account;

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of their mutual promises, the Parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE I. Sale of Fund Shares

     1.1. Distributor agrees to make shares of the Designated Portfolio(s) available for purchase at the applicable net asset value per share by the Company and the Account on those days

on which Transfer Agent calculates its Designated Portfolio(s)’ net asset value pursuant to rules of the SEC, and the Transfer Agent shall use its best efforts to calculate such net asset value on each day which the New York Stock Exchange is open for regular trading. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board of Directors/Trustees of the Fund (hereinafter the “Board”) may refuse to sell shares of any Designated Portfolio to any person, or suspend or terminate the offering of shares of any Designated Portfolio if such action is required by law or by regulatory authorities having jurisdiction or is, in the sole discretion of the Board acting in good faith and in light of its fiduciary duties under federal and any applicable state laws, necessary in the best interests of the shareholders of such Designated Portfolio.

     1.2. The Distributor, on behalf of the Fund, will only sell shares of the Designated Portfolio(s) to any other Participating Insurance Company for use in conjunction with Variable Insurance Products. No shares of the Fund or any of its Portfolios will be sold to the general public.

     1.3. The Distributor agrees to (a) sell to the Company those full and fractional shares of the Designated Portfolio(s) that the Company, on behalf of the Account, orders, and (b) redeem, on the Company’s order, any full or fractional shares of the Fund held by the Company, in each case executing such orders on each Business Day at the net asset value next computed after receipt by American Century or its designee of the order for the shares of the Designated Portfolios, except that American Century or the Fund 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 1940 Act and any sales thereunder, and in accordance with the procedures and policies of the Fund as described in the then current prospectus of the Fund (“Fund Prospectus”). For purposes of this Section 1.3, the Company shall be the designee of the Fund for receipt of such orders and receipt by such designee shall constitute receipt by the Fund, provided that:

(i) if the Company transmits such request to American Century via the National Securities Clearing Corporation’s (the “NSCC”) Fund/SERV System and/or Defined Contribution Clearance & Settlement (“DCC&S”) platform, such request must be received by the Company by the close of regular trading on the NYSE (the “Trade Date”) and must be received from Fund/SERV by 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time on the next following Business Day;

or

(ii) If there are technical problems with Fund/SERV, or if the Parties are not able to transmit or receive information through Fund/SERV (e.g., send requests via fax), such request must be received by American Century by 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time on the Business Day next following the Trade Date.

(iii) If the Company desires to submit orders to American Century manually, such transactions shall be processed and settled subject to such instructions as Distributor may forward to the Company from time to time.

With regard to purchase and redemptions of Shares under this Section 1.3, the Company is solely responsible for ensuring that each such purchase or redemption is the net result of requests from

Contract owners for Contract transactions received by it or its duly designated agent each Business Day before the time(s) that the Transfer Agent calculates the Fund’s net asset value, as set forth in the Fund’s prospectus. In the event that any Party is prohibited from communicating, processing or settling Portfolio share transactions via Fund/SERV or Networking, such Party shall notify the other Parties by 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time. “Business Day” shall mean any day on which the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading and on which the Designated Portfolio calculates its net asset value pursuant to the rules of the SEC. The Company shall provide American Century with net purchase and redemption requests computed in accordance with Section 1.7 hereof. The Company agrees to purchase and redeem the shares of each Designated Portfolio offered by the Fund Prospectus in accordance with the provisions of such Prospectus.

     1.4. In the event of net purchases, the Company shall pay for Fund shares the same Business Day after an order to purchase Fund shares is made in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.3 hereof. Payment shall be in federal funds transmitted to American Century by wire by 5:30 p.m. Eastern time. Payment shall be from the designated Settling Bank on behalf of the Company by the time specified by the Transfer Agent (the “Wire Cut-off Time”). If payment in federal funds for any purchase is not received or is received by the Fund after 5:30 p.m. Eastern time on such Business Day or by the Wire Cut-Off Time, the Company shall promptly, upon American Century’s request, reimburse the Fund for any charges, costs, fees, interest or other expenses incurred by the Fund or its investment advisor in connection with any advances to, or borrowings or overdrafts by, the Fund, or any similar expenses incurred by the Fund or its investment advisor, as a result of portfolio transactions effected by the Fund based upon such purchase request. Upon receipt by American Century of the federal funds so wired, such funds shall cease to be the responsibility of the Company and shall become the responsibility of American Century. “Settling Bank” shall mean the entity appointed by the party to perform such settlement services which entity agrees to abide by NSCC’s then current rules and procedures insofar as they related to funds settlement.

     1.5. In the event of net redemptions, American Century, on behalf of the Fund, shall pay and transmit the proceeds of redemptions of Fund shares the Business Day following the Trade Date in accordance with Section 1.3 hereof, from the designated Settling Bank on behalf of the Fund. Payment shall be in federal funds transmitted to the Company or its designee by wire.

     1.6. American Century shall make the net asset value per share for each Designated Portfolio available to the Company on each Business Day as soon as reasonably practical after the net asset value per share is calculated and shall use its best efforts to make such net asset value per share available by 6:30 p.m. Eastern time. In the event that American Century is unable to meet the 6:30 p.m. time stated herein, American Century shall provide additional time for the Company to place orders received in good order for the purchase and redemption of shares equal to the additional time it takes American Century to make the net asset value available to the Company. However, if net asset values are not available for inclusion in the next business cycle and purchase orders/redemptions are not able to be calculated and available for the Company to execute within the time frame identified in Section 1.3 hereof, the Company on behalf of the Account, shall be entitled to an adjustment to the number of shares purchased or redeemed to reflect the correct share net asset value.

     1.7. At the end of each Business Day, the Company shall use the information described herein to calculate Account unit values for the day. Using these unit values, the Company shall process each such Business Day’s separate account transactions based on requests and premiums received by it by the close of regular trading on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange (currently 4:00 p.m., Eastern time) to determine the net dollar amount of Fund shares which shall be purchased or redeemed at that day’s closing net asset value per share.

     1.8. In the event of an error in the computation of a Designated Portfolio’s net asset value per share (“NAV”) or any dividend or capital gain distribution (each, a “pricing error”), American Century shall immediately notify the Company as soon as possible after discovery of the error. Such notification may be verbal, but shall be confirmed promptly in writing in accordance with Article XI of this Agreement. Any error in the calculation or reporting of the closing NAV or any dividend or capital gain distribution shall be reported promptly, upon discovery, to the Company. In such event, the Company shall be entitled to an adjustment to the number of shares purchased or redeemed to reflect the correct closing NAV and American Century shall bear the reasonable and necessary expenses of correcting such errors including correcting statements previously provided to Contract owners in connection with Fund shares held by Contract owners or in adjusting proceeds paid to Contract owners who have redeemed interests under their Contracts. Upon notification by American Century of any overpayment, the Company shall promptly remit to American Century, on behalf of the Fund, any overpayment that has not been paid to Contract owners; however, American Century acknowledges that the Company does not intend to seek additional payments from any Contract owner who, because of a pricing error, may have underpaid for units of interest credited to his/her account.

     1.9. American Century shall furnish same day notice (by wire or telephone, followed by written confirmation) to the Company of any income, dividends or capital gain distributions payable on the Designated Portfolio(s)’ shares. The Company hereby elects to receive all such income dividends and capital gain distributions as are payable on the Designated Portfolio shares in additional shares of that Designated Portfolio. The Company reserves the right to revoke this election and to receive all such income dividends and capital gain distributions in cash. The Fund shall notify the Company of the number of shares so issued as payment of such dividends and distributions.

     1.10. Issuance and transfer of the Fund’s shares will be by book entry only. Stock certificates will not be issued to the Company or the Account. Shares ordered from the Fund will be recorded in an appropriate title for the Account or the appropriate sub-account of the Account.

     1.11. The Parties acknowledge that the arrangement contemplated by this Agreement is not exclusive; the Fund’s shares may be sold to other Participating Insurance Companies (subject to Section 1.2 and Article VI hereof) and the cash value of the Contracts may be invested in other investment companies.

ARTICLE VI. Diversification and Qualification.

     6.1. American Century represents and warrants that the Fund will at all times sell its shares and invest its assets in such a manner as to ensure that the Contracts will be treated as life insurance contracts and/or annuity contracts under the Code, and the regulations issued thereunder. Without limiting the scope of the foregoing, each Designated Portfolio thereof will at all times comply with Section 817(h) of the Code and Treasury Regulation §1.817-5, as amended from time to time, and any Treasury interpretations thereof, relating to the diversification requirements for variable annuity, endowment, or life insurance contracts and any amendments or other modifications or successor provisions to such Section or Regulations. In the event of a breach of this Article VI with respect to a Designated Portfolio, the Distributor will take all reasonable steps to: (a) notify the Company of such breach, and (b) cause the Fund’s investment adviser to adequately diversify the affected Designated Portfolio so as to achieve compliance within the 30-day grace period afforded by Regulation 1.817-5.

     6.2. American Century represents and warrants that shares of the Designated Portfolio(s) will be sold only to Participating Insurance Companies and their separate accounts and to Qualified Plans, and that no person has or will purchase shares in any Portfolio for any purpose or under any circumstances that would preclude the Company from “looking through” to the investments of each Designated Portfolio in which it invests, pursuant to the “look through” rules found in Treasury Regulation 1.817-5.

The Company agrees that if the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) asserts in writing in connection with any governmental audit or review of the Company or, to the Company’s knowledge, or any Contract owner that any Designated Portfolio has failed to comply with the diversification requirements of Section 817(h) of the Code or the Company otherwise becomes aware of any facts that could give rise to any claim against the Fund and American Century as a result of such a failure or alleged failure:

(b) the Company shall consult with American Century as to how to minimize any liability that may arise as a result of such failure or alleged failure;

(c) the Company shall use its best efforts to minimize any liability of the Fund and American Century resulting from such failure, including, without limitation, demonstrating, pursuant to Treasury Regulations, Section 1.817-5(a)(2), to the commissioner of the IRS that such failure was inadvertent;

(d) any written materials to be submitted by the Company to the IRS, any Contract owner or any other claimant in connection with any of the foregoing proceedings or contests (including, without limitation, any such materials to be submitted to the IRS pursuant to Treasury Regulations, Section 1.817-5(a)(2)) shall be provided by the Company to American Century (together with any supporting information or analysis) within at least two (2) Business Days prior to submission;

ARTICLE VII. Potential Conflicts and Compliance With
Mixed and Shared Funding Exemptive Order

     7.1. The Fund represents that the Board will monitor the Fund for the existence of any material irreconcilable conflict between the interests of the contract owners of all separate accounts investing in the Fund. The Board shall promptly inform the Company if it determines that a material irreconcilable conflict exists and the implications thereof.

     7.2. The Company will report any potential or existing conflicts of which it is aware to the Board. The Company will assist the Board in carrying out its responsibilities under the Mixed and Shared Funding Exemptive Order, by providing the Board with all information reasonably necessary for the Board to consider any issues raised. This includes, but is not limited to, an obligation by the Company to inform the Board whenever contract owner voting instructions are to be disregarded.

     7.3. If it is determined by a majority of the Board, or a majority of its members who are not interested persons of the Fund, American Century, the advisor or any sub-adviser to any of the Designated Portfolios (the “Disinterested Members”), that a material irreconcilable conflict exists due to issues relating to the Contracts, the Company will, at its expense and to the extent reasonably practicable, take whatever steps it can which are necessary to remedy or eliminate the irreconcilable material conflict, including, without limitation, withdrawal of the affected separate account’s investment in the Designated Portfolios. No charge or penalty will be imposed as a result of such withdrawal.

     7.4. The Company, at the request of the Distributor will, at least annually, 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 them. All reports received by the Board of potential or existing conflicts, and all Board action with regard to determining the existence of a conflict, and determining whether any proposed action adequately remedies a conflict, shall be properly recorded in the minutes of the Board or other appropriate records, and such minutes or other records shall be made available to the SEC upon request.

     7.5. For purposes of Section 7.3 of this Agreement, a majority of the Disinterested Members shall determine whether any proposed action adequately remedies any material irreconcilable conflict, but in no event will the Fund be required to establish a new funding medium for the Contracts. The Company shall not be required by Section 7.3 to establish a new funding medium for the Contracts if an offer to do so has been declined by vote of a majority of Contract owners affected by the material irreconcilable conflict. In the event that the Board determines that any proposed action does not adequately remedy any material irreconcilable conflict, then the Company will withdraw the Account’s investment in the Fund and terminate this Agreement within six (6) months after the Board informs the Company in writing of the foregoing determination;

provided, however, that such withdrawal and termination shall be limited to the extent required by any such material irreconcilable conflict as determined by a majority of the Disinterested Members.

     7.6. If and to the extent that Rule 6e-2 and Rule 6e-3(T) are amended, or Rule 6e-3 is adopted, to provide exemptive relief from any provision of the 1940 Act or the rules promulgated thereunder with respect to mixed or shared funding (as defined in the Mixed and Shared Funding Exemptive Order) on terms and conditions materially different from those contained in the Mixed and Shared Funding Exemptive Order, then (a) American Century, as appropriate, shall take such steps as may be necessary to comply with Rules 6e-2 and 6e-3(T), as amended, and Rule 6e-3, as adopted, to the extent such rules are applicable: and (b) Sections 3.4, 3.5, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, and 7.5 of this Agreement shall continue in effect only to the extent that terms and conditions substantially identical to such Sections are contained in such Rule(s) as so amended or adopted.

     (c). American Century 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 American Century 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 American Century of any such claim shall not relieve American Century 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, except to the extent that American Century has been prejudiced by such failure to give notice.

In addition, the Company will not use any Confidential Information concerning each Fund’s portfolio holdings, including, without limitation, the names of the portfolio holdings and the values thereof, for purposes of making any decision about whether to purchase or redeem shares of each Fund or to execute any other securities transaction. The foregoing definition shall also include any Confidential Information provided by any Party’s vendors.

(b) Confidential Information will not include any information or material, or any element thereof, whether or not such information or material is Confidential Information for the purposes of this Agreement, to the extent any such information or material, or any element thereof:

(i) has previously become or is generally known, unless it has become generally known through a breach of this Agreement or a similar confidentiality or non-disclosure agreement;

(ii) was already rightfully known to the Receiving Party prior to being disclosed by or obtained from the Disclosing Party as evidenced by written records kept in the ordinary course of business of or by proof of actual use by the Receiving Party;

It will be presumed that any Confidential Information in a Receiving Party’s possession is not within exceptions (ii), (iii) or (iv) above, and the burden will be upon the Receiving Party to prove otherwise by records and documentation.

(c) Each Party recognizes the importance of each other Party’s Confidential Information. In particular, each Party recognizes and agrees that the Confidential Information of another Party is critical to its business and that no Party would enter into this Agreement without assurance that such information and the value thereof will be protected as provided in this Section 12.1 and elsewhere in this Agreement. Accordingly, each Party agrees as follows:

(i) The Receiving Party will hold any and all Confidential Information it obtains in strictest confidence and will use and permit use of Confidential Information solely for the purposes of this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, the Receiving Party shall use at least the same degree of care, but no less than reasonable care, to avoid disclosure or use of this Confidential Information as the Receiving Party employs with respect to its own Confidential Information of a like importance;

(ii) The Receiving Party may disclose or provide access to its responsible employees who have a need to know and may make copies of Confidential Information only to the extent reasonably necessary to carry out its obligations hereunder;

(iii) The Receiving Party currently has, and in the future will maintain in effect and enforce, rules and policies to protect against access to or use or disclosure of Confidential Information other than in accordance with this Agreement, including without limitation written instruction to and agreements with employees and agents who are bound by an obligation of confidentiality no less stringent than set forth in this Agreement to ensure that such employees and agents protect the confidentiality of Confidential Information. The Receiving Party expressly will instruct its employees and agents not to disclose Confidential Information to third parties, including without limitation customers, subcontractors or consultants, without the Disclosing Party’s prior written consent; and

(iv) The Receiving Party will notify the Disclosing Party immediately of any unauthorized disclosure or use, and will cooperate with the Disclosing Party to protect all proprietary rights in and ownership of its Confidential Information.

     12.3. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in two or more counterparts, each of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

     12.4. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held or made invalid by a court decision, statute, rule or otherwise, the remainder of the Agreement shall not be affected thereby.

     12.5. Each Party hereto shall cooperate with each other Party and all appropriate governmental authorities (including without limitation the SEC, FINRA and state insurance regulators) and shall permit such authorities reasonable access to its books and records in connection with any investigation or inquiry relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

     12.6. The rights, remedies and obligations contained in this Agreement are cumulative and are in addition to any and all rights, remedies and obligations, at law or in equity, which the Parties hereto are entitled to under state and federal laws.

     12.7. This Agreement or any of the rights and obligations hereunder may not be assigned by any Party without the prior written consent of all Parties hereto.

     12.9. Each Party agrees that the obligations assumed by the other Party pursuant to this Agreement shall be limited in any case to such Party and its assets and neither Party shall seek satisfaction of any such obligation from the shareholders of the other Party, the directors, officers, employees, or agents of the other Party, or any of them, except to the extent permitted under this Agreement.

     12.10. Schedules A through C hereto, as the same may be amended from time to time by mutual written agreement of the Parties, are attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

Unless otherwise directed by the Fund, any such restrictions or prohibitions shall only apply to Contract Owner Initiated Transfer Purchases or Contract Owner Initiated Transfer Redemptions that are affected directly or indirectly through the Company.

(e) Form of Instructions. Instructions must include the TIN, ITIN or GII and the specific individual Contract Owner number or participant account number associated with the Contract Owner, if known, and the specific restriction(s) to be executed.
