 EXHIBIT 10.18 
 Administrative Services Agreement 
 Franklin Templeton
Services, LLC 
 [Name of Insurance Company] 
 THIS AGREEMENT, by and between Franklin Templeton Services, LLC (the “Fund Administrator”), and [    ] Insurance Company[, [    ] Insurance Company
(each of which is referred to as] (the “Company”), concerning certain administrative services with respect to each series (“Fund” or “Funds”) of Franklin Templeton Variable Insurance Products Trust (the
“Trust”), which Funds are specified in the Participation Agreement, as may be amended from time to time, among the Company, the Trust, and Franklin Templeton Distributors, Inc. (the “Underwriter”), among others, dated
                    , (the “Participation Agreement”). 
 1. Administrative Services. Administrative services for the Company’s Separate Accounts (the “Account” or “Accounts”) which invest in the Funds pursuant to the
Participation Agreement, and administrative services for purchasers of variable life and annuity contracts (the “Contracts”) issued by the Company through the Accounts, are and shall be the responsibility of the Company. Administrative
services with respect to the Funds in which the Accounts invest, and for purchasers of shares of the Funds, are and shall be the responsibility of the Fund Administrator or its affiliates. The Company has agreed to assist the Fund Administrator, as
the Fund Administrator may request from time to time, with the provision of administrative services (“Administrative Services”) to the Funds, on a sub-administration basis, as they may relate to the investment in the Funds by the Accounts.
It is anticipated that the Administrative Services may include, but may not be limited to, the services listed on Schedule A. 
 2.
Administrative Expense Payments. The Fund Administrator recognizes the Company, on behalf of the Accounts, as the shareholder of shares of the Funds purchased under the Participation Agreement on behalf of the Accounts. The Fund Administrator
further recognizes that it will derive a substantial administrative convenience by virtue of having the Company be the shareholder of record of shares of the Funds purchased under the Participation Agreement, rather than multiple shareholders having
record ownership of such shares. The Fund Administrator recognizes that the Company will provide administrative services necessary to facilitate investment in the Funds. 
 In consideration of the Administrative Services provided by the Company and the administrative convenience resulting to the Fund Administrator described above, the Fund Administrator agrees to pay the
Company a fee as set forth in Schedule B. 
 3. Computation of Administrative Expense Payments. As soon as practicable after the end of
each quarter, the Company will send the Fund Administrator, at the address indicated in this Paragraph 3 and in the manner set forth below, a statement of the average daily net assets for the preceding quarter, of shares of the Fund as to which the
fee stated in Schedule B is to be calculated. The Fund Administrator will calculate and pay the Company its fee within thirty (30) days after the end of the three-month periods ending in January, April, July and October. Such payment will be by
wire transfer unless the amount thereof is less than $500. 

 
Wire transfers will be sent to the bank account and in the manner specified by the Company. Such wire transfer will be separate from wire transfers of redemption proceeds and distributions.
Amounts less than $500 shall be paid by check or by another method acceptable to both parties. 
 For purposes of this Paragraph 3, the average
daily net asset value of the shares of a Fund will be based on the net assets reported by the Trust on behalf of each Fund to the Company. No adjustments will be made to such net assets to correct errors in the net asset value so reported for any
day unless such error is corrected and the corrected net asset value per share is reported to the Company before 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on the first Business Day after the day to which the error relates. “Business Day” will mean any day on
which the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading and on which the Fund calculates its net asset value pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. 
 For purposes of this Paragraph 3, the address shall be Corporate Accounting, Franklin Resources, One Franklin Parkway, San Mateo, California 94403; Attention: Mike Corcoran, Manager. 
 4. Confidentiality of Payment Rate. The Company acknowledges that the rate and amount of payments to be made to the Company under this
Agreement are proprietary and confidential information of the Fund Administrator and its affiliates, and that disclosure of this information to third parties may cause damage to Fund Administrator or its affiliates. The Company agrees to take any
and all reasonable actions to limit disclosure of this information to only those of its employees, officers, consultants and agents who need the information in order to perform their duties, and to notify such persons of the terms of this paragraph.
In the event any other party seeks to compel disclosure of confidential information through judicial or administrative process, then the Company shall promptly give the Fund Administrator written notice of such demand and, if requested by the Fund
Administrator, shall cooperate in the Fund Administrator’s efforts to challenge or limit any such disclosure. Violation of the confidentiality provision shall be grounds for immediate termination of the Agreement by the Fund Administrator in
its sole discretion. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Company from disclosing the existence of this Agreement in the Contracts’ prospectuses or elsewhere.  
 5. Nature of Payments. The parties to this Agreement recognize and agree that the Fund Administrator’s payments to the Company relate to Administrative Services only and do not constitute
payment in any manner for investment advisory services, for costs of distribution of Contracts or of shares of the Fund, or for services that the Company is otherwise required to perform, and that these payments are not otherwise related to
investment advisory or distribution services or expenses. The amount of the payments made by the Fund Administrator to the Company under this Agreement shall not be deemed to be conclusive with respect to actual administrative expenses incurred by
the Company or savings of the Fund Administrator. 
 6. Notice. Any notice shall be sufficiently given when sent by registered or
certified mail to the other party at the address of such party set forth in Schedule C of this Agreement or at such other address as such party may from time to time specify in writing to the other party. The quarterly statements called for in
Paragraph 3 above should be sent to the Fund Administrator at the address specified in Paragraph 3. 
  

 2 

 7. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated upon thirty (30) days’ written notice from
one party to the other party. 
 8. Representation. The Company represents and agrees that it will maintain and preserve all records as
required by law to be maintained and preserved in connection with providing the Administrative Services, and will otherwise comply with all laws, rules and regulations applicable to Administrative Services. 
 9. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended only upon mutual agreement of the parties hereto in writing. 
 10. Assignment. This Agreement shall not be assigned by either party without the prior written consent of the other party, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that such limitation shall not apply should the Fund Administrator cease to be the fund administrator for the Trust and the successor fund administrator for the Trust is willing to assume Fund
Administrator’s responsibilities hereunder. 
 11. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which will
be deemed an original but all of which will together constitute one and the same instrument. 
 12. Entire Agreement. This Agreement,
together with the attached Schedules, contains the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the matters dealt with herein, and supersedes any prior or inconsistent agreements, documents, understandings or arrangements among the parties
with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. 
 13. Indemnification. This Agreement will be subject to the indemnification
provisions of the Participation Agreement. 
 14. Arbitration. In the event of a dispute concerning any provision of this Agreement,
either party may require the dispute to be submitted to binding arbitration under the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association. Each party will pay its own costs and expenses. Judgment upon any arbitration award may be
entered by any court having jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with the laws of the state of California and shall be subject to any applicable federal securities laws. 
 15. Trust Not a Party. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge and agree that the Trust is not directly or indirectly a party to this Agreement.
If, however, the Trust shall be so deemed, the parties to this Agreement acknowledge and agree that any liabilities of the Trust arising, directly or indirectly, under this Agreement will be satisfied out of the assets of the Trust and that no
trustee, officer, agent or holder of shares of beneficial interest of the Trust or any Fund will be personally liable for such liabilities. No Fund of the Trust will be liable for the obligations or liabilities of any other Fund.

 This Agreement is executed as of this      day of

 FRANKLIN RESOURCES, INC. 
 2002 UNIVERSAL STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN 
 RESTRICTED STOCK
AWARD AGREEMENT 
 This Restricted Stock Award Agreement, together with any Appendix(es) attached hereto (hereinafter, collectively, the
“Agreement”), is made as of the Award Date set forth in the Notice of Restricted Stock Award (the “Notice of Award”) between Franklin Resources, Inc. (the “Company”) and the Participant named therein
(“Participant”). 
 WITNESSETH: 
 WHEREAS, the Board of Directors and stockholders of the Company have adopted the Franklin Resources, Inc. 2002 Universal Stock Incentive Plan (the “2002 Plan”), authorizing the grant of common
stock of the Company (“Stock”) to eligible individuals as an incentive in connection with the performance of services for the Company and its Subsidiaries, as defined in the 2002 Plan, which is incorporated herein by this reference
(capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement have the same meaning as set forth in the 2002 Plan or the Notice of Award, as applicable); and 
 WHEREAS, the Company recognizes the efforts of Participant on behalf of the Company and its Subsidiaries and desires to motivate Participant in Participant’s work and provide an inducement to remain
in the service of the Company and its Subsidiaries; and 
 WHEREAS, the Company has determined that it would be to the advantage
and in the interest of the Company and its stockholders to award the Stock provided for in this Agreement and the Notice of Award to Participant, subject to certain restrictions, as an incentive for increased efforts and successful achievements;

 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and of the mutual covenants herein contained, the parties hereto
hereby agree as follows: 
 1. Restricted Stock Award. The Company is issuing to Participant shares of Stock as set forth
in the Notice of Award, subject to the rights of and limitations on Participant as owner thereof as set forth in this Agreement. Such shares are being issued in book entry form and maintained on the books of the Bank of New York, the Company’s
transfer agent, or any successor thereto. All shares of Stock issued hereunder shall be deemed issued to Participant as fully paid and non assessable shares, and, subject to the restrictions set forth in the 2002 Plan and this Agreement, Participant
shall have all rights of a stockholder with respect thereto, including the right to vote, to receive dividends (including stock dividends), to participate in stock splits or other recapitalizations, and to exchange such shares in a tender offer,
merger, consolidation or other reorganization. The Company shall pay any applicable stock transfer taxes. Participant hereby acknowledges that Participant is acquiring the Stock issued hereunder for investment and not with a view to the distribution
thereof, and that Participant does not intend to subdivide Participant’s interest in the Stock with any other person. 
 2.
Transfer Restriction. 
 (a) No Stock issued to Participant hereunder shall be sold, transferred by gift, pledged,
hypothecated, or otherwise transferred or disposed of by Participant prior to the date on which it becomes vested under paragraph 3, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution. This paragraph shall not preclude Participant from
exchanging the Stock awarded hereunder pursuant to a cash or stock tender

  

 1 

 
offer, merger, reorganization or consolidation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any securities (including stock dividends and stock splits) received with respect to shares of Stock which are not
yet vested under paragraph 3 shall be subject to the provisions of this Agreement in the same manner and shall become fully vested at the same time as the Stock with respect to which such additional securities were issued. 
 (b) Participant acknowledges that, from time to time, the Company may be in a “Blackout Period” and/or subject to applicable
securities laws that could subject Participant to liability for engaging in any transaction involving the sale of the Company’s shares. Participant further acknowledges and agrees that, prior to the sale of any shares acquired under this Award,
it is Participant’s responsibility to determine whether or not such sale of shares will subject Participant to liability under insider trading rules or other applicable securities laws. 
 3. Vesting. 
 (a) Participant’s interest in the Stock awarded under paragraph 1 shall become vested and nonforfeitable in accordance with the Vesting Schedule in the Notice of Award so long as Participant maintains a Continuous Status as an Employee
of the Company or a Subsidiary. Upon vesting, the Company shall, within thirty (30) days of such vesting, deliver to Participant the certificates evidencing the nonforfeitable shares (free of restrictive legends on such stock certificates),
provided the withholding requirements of paragraph 4 have been satisfied. Alternatively, provided the withholding requirements of paragraph 4 have been satisfied, the Committee may permit or require that such nonforfeitable shares of Stock (free of
the restrictive notations on shares of Stock issued in book-entry form) be deposited directly with a brokerage firm determined acceptable to the Company for such purpose or to a designated agent of the Company, and the Committee may utilize
electronic or automated methods of share transfer. 
 (b) If Participant ceases to maintain a Continuous Status as an Employee
of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for any reason other than death or disability (as described in subparagraph (c)), all shares of Stock to the extent not yet vested under subparagraph (a) on the date Participant ceases to be an employee
shall be forfeited by Participant without payment of any consideration to Participant therefor. Any shares of Stock so forfeited shall be canceled and returned to the status of authorized but unissued shares, to be held for future distributions
under the Company’s 2002 Plan. 
 (c) If Participant dies or in the event of termination of Participant’s Continuous
Status as an Employee as a result of disability (as determined by the Board in accordance with the policies of the Company) while an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, Participant’s interest in all shares of Stock awarded
hereunder shall become fully vested and nonforfeitable as of the date of death or termination of employment on account of such disability. Unless changed by the Board, “disability” means that Participant ceases to be an employee on account
of disability as a result of which Participant shall be eligible for payments under the Company’s long-term disability policy. 
 4. Withholding of Taxes. 
 (a) General. Participant is ultimately liable and responsible for all taxes
owed by Participant in connection with the Stock awarded, regardless of any action the Company or any of its Subsidiaries takes with respect to any tax withholding obligations that arise in connection with the Stock awarded. Neither the Company nor
any of its Subsidiaries makes any representation or undertaking regarding the treatment of any tax withholding in connection with the grant or vesting of the Stock awarded or the subsequent sale of any of the shares of Stock. The Company and its
Subsidiaries do not commit and are under no obligation to structure the Award to reduce or eliminate Participant’s tax liability. 
  

 2 

 (b) Payment of Withholding Taxes. Prior to any event in connection with the Stock
awarded (e.g., vesting) that the Company determines may result in any tax withholding obligation, whether United States federal, state or local taxes and including any employment tax obligation (the “Tax Withholding Obligation”),
Participant must arrange for the satisfaction of such Tax Withholding Obligation in a manner acceptable to the Company, including by means of one of the following methods: 
 (i) By Share Withholding. Unless the Company permits Participant to satisfy the Tax Withholding Obligation by some other means in
accordance with clause (iii) below, Participant authorizes the Company (in the exercise of its sole discretion) to withhold from those unrestricted shares of Stock to be delivered to Participant upon vesting under paragraph 3 above the
whole number of shares sufficient to satisfy the Tax Withholding Obligation, provided that the Company shall withhold only the amount of shares necessary to satisfy the minimum applicable Tax Withholding Obligation. Share withholding will result in
the delivery of a lower number of unrestricted shares of Stock to Participant. Share withholding will generally be used to satisfy the tax liability of individuals subject to the short-swing profit restrictions of Section 16(b) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. 
 (ii) By Sale of Shares. Unless the Company permits Participant to satisfy
the Tax Withholding Obligation by some other means in accordance with clause (iii) below, and provided that the terms of this clause (ii) do not violate Section 13(k) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
Participant’s acceptance of the Stock awarded constitutes Participant’s instruction and authorization to the Company and any brokerage firm determined acceptable to the Company for such purpose to sell on Participant’s behalf a whole
number of shares from those unrestricted shares of Stock to be delivered to Participant upon vesting under paragraph 3 above as the Company determines to be appropriate to generate cash proceeds sufficient to satisfy the applicable Tax
Withholding Obligation. Such shares will be sold on the day such Tax Withholding Obligation arises (e.g., a vesting date) or as soon thereafter as practicable. Participant will be responsible for all brokers’ fees and other costs of
sale, and Participant agrees to indemnify and hold the Company harmless from any losses, costs, damages, or expenses relating to any such sale. To the extent the proceeds of such sale exceed the Tax Withholding Obligation, the Company agrees to pay
such excess in cash to Participant. Participant acknowledges that the Company or its designee is under no obligation to arrange for such sale at any particular price, and that the proceeds of any such sale may not be sufficient to satisfy the Tax
Withholding Obligation. Accordingly, Participant agrees to pay to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as soon as practicable, including through additional payroll withholding, any amount of the Tax Withholding Obligation that is not satisfied by
the sale of shares described above. 
 (iii) By Check, Wire Transfer or Other Means. At any time not less than five
(5) business days (or such fewer number of days as determined by the Committee or its designee) before any Tax Withholding Obligation arises (e.g., a vesting date), Participant may request permission to satisfy the Tax Withholding
Obligation by check, wire transfer or other means, by submitting such request, in writing, to the Company. If the Company approves Participant’s request, within five (5) business days of the vesting date (or such fewer number of days as
determined by the Committee or its designee) Participant must deliver to the Company the amount that the Company determines is sufficient to satisfy the Tax Withholding Obligation by (x) wire transfer to such account as the Company may direct,
(y) delivery of a certified check payable to the Company, or (z) such other means as specified from time to time by the Committee or its designee. 
  

 3 

 5. Successors. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of
the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns. Nothing contained in the 2002 Plan, the Notice of Award or this Agreement shall be interpreted as imposing any liability on the Company or the
Committee in favor of Participant or any purchaser or other transferee of Stock with respect to any loss, cost or expense which such Participant, purchaser or other transferee may incur in connection with, or arising out of any transaction
involving, any shares of Stock subject to the 2002 Plan, the Notice of Award or this Agreement. 
 6. Integration. The
terms of the 2002 Plan, the Notice of Award and this Agreement are intended by the Company and Participant to be the final expression of their agreement with respect to the shares of Stock and may not be contradicted by evidence of any prior or
contemporaneous agreement. The Company and Participant further intend that the 2002 Plan, the Notice of Award and this Agreement shall constitute the complete and exclusive statement of their terms and that no extrinsic evidence whatsoever may be
introduced in any arbitration, judicial, administrative or other legal proceeding involving the 2002 Plan, the Notice of Award or this Agreement. Accordingly, the 2002 Plan, the Notice of Award and this Agreement contain the entire understanding
between the parties and supersede all prior oral, written and implied agreements, understandings, commitments and practices among the parties. 
 7. Waivers. Any failure to enforce any terms or conditions of the 2002 Plan, the Notice of Award or this Agreement by the Company or by Participant shall not be deemed a waiver of that term or
condition, nor shall any waiver or relinquishment of any right or power for all or any other times. 
 8. Severability of
Provisions. If any provision of the 2002 Plan, the Notice of Award or this Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision thereof; and the 2002 Plan, the Notice of Award
and this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if none of them included such provision. 
 9. Committee Decisions
Conclusive. All decisions of the Committee arising under the 2002 Plan, the Notice of Award or this Agreement shall be conclusive. 
 10. Mandatory Arbitration. To the extent permitted by law, any dispute arising out of or relating to the 2002 Plan, the Notice of Award and this Agreement, including the meaning or interpretation thereof, shall be resolved solely by
arbitration before an arbitrator selected in accordance with the Employment Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures of the American Arbitration Association. The location for the arbitration shall be in the county or comparable jurisdiction of
Participant’s employment. Judgment on the award rendered may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Each party shall pay an equal share of the arbitrator’s fees, unless applicable law requires the Company to pay all or a greater
share of the fees and costs. All statutes of limitation which would otherwise be applicable shall apply to any arbitration proceeding under this paragraph. Neither Participant nor the Company will have the right to participate in a class,
representative or collective action, as a class representative, class member or an opt-in party, act as a private attorney general, or join or consolidate claims with claims of any other person or entity, with respect to any dispute arising out of
or relating to the 2002 Plan, the Notice of Award and this Agreement. The provisions of this paragraph are intended by Participant and the Company to be exclusive for all purposes and applicable to any and all disputes arising out of or
relating to the 2002 Plan, the Notice of Award and this Agreement. The arbitrator who hears and decides any dispute shall have jurisdiction and authority only to award compensatory damages to make whole a person or entity sustaining foreseeable
economic damages, and shall not have jurisdiction and authority to make any other award of any type, including, without limitation, punitive damages, unforeseeable economic damage, damages for pain, suffering or emotional

distress, or any other kind or form of damages, unless such other award is available as a matter of law. The remedy, if any, awarded by the arbitrator shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for
any dispute which is subject to arbitration under this paragraph. 
 11. Delaware Law. The 2002 Plan, the Notice of Award
and this Agreement shall be construed and enforced according to the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of law provisions, to the extent not preempted by the federal laws of the United States of America. 
 12. Country Appendices. If Participant relocates to a country outside the United States: (i) any special terms and conditions
that may apply to Restricted Stock Awards granted to Participants in such country under Appendices to this Agreement will apply to Participant; or (ii) if Restricted Stock Awards have not been granted to Employees in such country under this
Agreement, any other special terms and conditions will apply to Participant, in each case to the extent the Company determines that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable to comply with local law or facilitate the
administration of the 2002 Plan, and provided the imposition of the term or condition will not result in any adverse accounting expense with respect to the Restricted Stock Award (unless the Company specifically determines to incur such expense).

 13. Forfeiture Pursuant to Restatement of Financial Results. Notwithstanding anything in the Award to the contrary, in
the event that (i) the Company issues a restatement of financial results to correct a material error, (ii) the Committee determines, in good faith, that fraud or willful misconduct by the Participant was a significant contributing factor
to the need to issue such restatement, and (iii) some or all of the Shares that were granted and/or earned prior to such restatement by the Participant would not have been granted and/or earned, as applicable, based upon the restated financial
results, the Participant shall immediately return to the Company those Shares, including any pre-tax income derived from ownership and any gross proceeds from disposition of such Shares, that would not have been granted and/or earned based upon the
restated financial results (the “Repayment Obligation”). The Company shall be able to enforce the Repayment Obligation by all legal means available, including, without limitation, by withholding such amount from other sums and property
owed by the Company to the Participant.
