      For good and valuable consideration received and acknowledged by the
parties, effective            , 2015, the Agreement is amended as follows:

      shares of the Funds that offer such share class(es) available to the
      Insurance Company for itself and on behalf of the Separate Accounts on the
      attached Exhibit B pursuant to the terms of the Agreement. Insurance
      Company agrees to give the Series and CRMC at least (thirty) 30 days'
      notice prior to adding any additional Funds or share classes of a Fund as
      underlying investment options to the Contracts. AFD reserves the right to
      approve any proposed addition by the Insurance Company."

   2. Exhibit A is deleted in its entirety

   3. Section 40 is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the
      following:

      "40. CONFIDENTIALITY OF HOLDINGS INFORMATION. The Insurance Company may
      receive certain holdings information (the "Holdings Information") related
      to the Funds on a daily, weekly, monthly or other periodic basis from the
      Series, CRMC or one of their designees in order to help evaluate the Funds
      for inclusion in the Contracts and to evaluate and coordinate with
      Insurance Company's internal hedging program (the "Purpose"). Insurance
      Company agrees that the Holdings Information is confidential and may only
      be used by Insurance Company for the Purpose. Insurance Company agrees
      that it (a) will hold any and all Holdings Information it obtains in
      strictest confidence; (b) may disclose or provide access to its employees
      who have a need to know and may make copies of Holdings Information only
      to the extent reasonably necessary to carry out the Purpose; (c) 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 Holdings
      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 Holdings Information; (d) will
      instruct its employees and agents not to disclose Holdings Information to
      third parties, including without

                                       1



      limitation customers, sub-contractors or consultants; and (e) will notify
      the Series and CRMC immediately of any unauthorized disclosure or use, and
      will cooperate with them in taking action to ensure that the Holdings
      Information is not used by such receiving party. Without limiting the
      foregoing, Insurance Company shall use at least the same degree of care,
      but no less than reasonable care, to avoid disclosure or use of this
      Holdings Information as it employs with respect to its own confidential
      information of a like importance.

   4. All other terms and provisions of the Agreement not amended herein shall
      remain in full force and effect.
