     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of their mutual promises the Company,
the Fund and the Adviser agree as follows:

ARTICLE I.  SALE OF FUND SHARES

     1.1.  The Fund agrees to sell to the Company those shares of the Fund
which  each  Account orders, executing such orders on a daily basis at the net
asset  value  next  computed  after receipt by the Fund or its designee of the
order for the shares of the Fund.  For purposes of this Section l.l, the
Company shall be the designee of the Fund for receipt of such orders from each
Account  and  receipt  by  such designee shall constitute receipt by the Fund;
provided  that  the  Fund  receives notice of such order by 10:00 a.m. Eastern
time on the next following Business Day.  "Business Day" shall mean any day on
which  the  New  York Stock Exchange is open for trading and on which the Fund
calculates  its  net  asset  value pursuant to the rules of the Securities and
Exchange Commission.

     1.2.  The Fund agrees to make its shares available indefinitely for
purchase  at  the  applicable net asset value per share by the Company and its
Accounts on those days on which the Fund calculates its net asset value
pursuant to rules of the SEC and the Fund shall use reasonable efforts to
calculate  such  net asset value on each day which the New York Stock Exchange
is open for trading.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board of Directors of
the  Fund (hereinafter the "Board") may refuse to sell shares of any Portfolio
to any person, or suspend or terminate the offering of 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 acting in good faith
and  in light of their fiduciary duties under federal and any applicable state
laws, necessary in the best interest of the shareholders of such Portfolio.

     1.3.  The Fund and the Adviser agree that shares of the Fund will be sold
only  to Participating Insurance Companies and their separate accounts and, in
accordance  with  the  terms  of the Mixed and Shared Funding Exemptive Order,
certain Qualified Plans.  No shares of any Portfolio will be sold to the
general public.

     1.4.  The Fund will not sell Fund shares to any insurance company or
separate  account  unless an agreement containing provisions substantially the
same as Articles I and VII, Section 2.5 of Article II and Sections 3.4 and 3.5
of Article III of this Agreement is in effect to govern such sales.

     1.5.  The Fund agrees to redeem for cash, on the Company's request, any
full or fractional shares of the Fund held by the Company, executing such
requests  on  a daily basis at the net asset value next computed after receipt
by  the  Fund  or its designee of the request for redemption.  For purposes of
Sections  2.10  and  2.11,  upon the payment by the Fund to the Company of the
proceeds of such redemptions, such proceeds shall cease to be the
responsibility of the Fund and shall become the responsibility of the Company.
For  purposes  of this Section 1.5, the Company shall be the designee of the
Fund  for  receipt of requests for redemption from each Account and receipt by
such  designee  shall  constitute  receipt by the Fund; provided that the Fund
receives  notice  of such request for redemption by 10:00 a.m. Eastern time on
the next following Business Day.

     1.6.  The Company agrees to purchase and redeem the shares of each
Portfolio  offered  by  the  then current prospectus of the Fund in accordance
with the provisions of such prospectus.  The Company agrees that all net
amounts  available under the variable life and variable annuity contracts with
the form number(s) which are listed on Schedule C attached hereto and
incorporated  herein by this reference, as such Schedule C may be amended from
time  to  time hereafter by mutual written agreement of all the parties hereto
and which such contracts have been sold pursuant to an Annuity Selling
Agreement dated February 10, 1995, by and between the Company, PFS Investments
Inc. and Primerica Financial Services, Inc. (the "Contracts"), shall be
invested  in the Portfolios, in such other funds advised by the Adviser as may
be  mutually  agreed  to in writing by the parties hereto, or in the Company's
general account, provided that such amounts may also be invested in an
investment  company  other than the Fund if (a) such other investment company,
or series thereof, has investment objectives or policies that are
substantially  different  from  the  investment objectives and policies of the
Portfolios  of  the Fund; or (b) the Company gives the Fund and the Adviser 60
days  written  notice  of  its intention to make such other investment company
available as a funding vehicle for the Contracts; or (c) such other investment
company was available as a funding vehicle for the Contracts prior to the date
of  this  Agreement  and  the Company so informs the Fund and Adviser prior to
their  signing  this Agreement; or (d) the Fund or Adviser consents to the use
of such other investment company.

     1.7.  The Company shall pay for Fund shares on the next Business Day after
an  order to purchase Fund shares is made in accordance with the provisions of
Section  1.1  hereof.  Payment shall be in federal funds transmitted by wire.
For  purpose  of Section 2.9 and 2.10, upon receipt by the Fund of the federal
funds so wired, such funds shall cease to be the responsibility of the Company
and shall become the responsibility of the Fund.

     1.8.  Issuance and transfer of the Fund's shares will be by book entry
only.  Stock certificates will not be issued to the Company or any Account.
Shares ordered from the Fund will be recorded in an appropriate title for each
Account or the appropriate subaccount of each Account.

     1.9.  The Fund shall furnish notice (by wire or telephone, followed by
written  confirmation)  as soon as is reasonably practicable to the Company of
any income, dividends or capital gain distributions payable on the Fund's
shares.    The  Company hereby elects to receive all such income dividends and
capital gain distributions as are payable on the Portfolio shares in
additional shares of that 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.  The Fund shall make the net asset value per share for each
Portfolio available to the Company on a daily basis as soon as reasonably
practical  after  the  net  asset value per share is calculated (normally 6:30
p.m. Eastern time) and shall use its best efforts to make such net asset value
per share available by 7:00 p.m. Eastern time.  If the Fund provides the
Company  with  the incorrect share net asset value information, the Company on
behalf  of  the Account shall be entitled to a prompt adjustment to the number
of shares purchased or redeemed to reflect the correct share net asset value.
Upon  a final determination that there has been an error in the calculation of
net asset value, dividend or capital gain, the Fund shall report such error to
the Company.

the future.

     2.4.  The Company represents that the Contacts are currently treated as

the  Code  and  that  it will make every effort to maintain such treatment and
that it will notify the Fund and the Adviser immediately upon having a

or that they might not be so treated in the future.

     2.5.  The Fund currently does not intend to make any payments to finance
distribution  expenses pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1040 Act or otherwise,
although it may make such payments in the future.  To the extent that it

individuals/entities  dealing with the money and/or securities of the Fund are
and  shall  continue  to be at all times covered by a blanket fidelity bond or
similar  coverage  for  the benefit of the Fund in an amount not less than the
minimal coverage as required currently by Rule 17g-1 of the 1940 Act or
related  provisions  as  may  be promulgated from time to time.  The aforesaid
Bond  shall  include coverage for larceny and embezzlement and shall be issued
by a reputable bonding company.

     2.10.  The Company represents and warrants that all if any of its
directors, officers, employees, investment advisers, and other
individuals/entities  deal  with  the money and/or securities of the Fund they

set in type at the Fund's expense) and other assistance as is reasonably
necessary  in  order for the Company once each year (or more frequently if the
prospectus  for  the Fund is amended) to have the prospectus for the Contracts
and  the  Portfolios' prospectus printed (such printing to be at the Company's
expense except as provided in Section 5.3 hereof).

     3.2.  The Fund's prospectus shall state that the Statement of Additional
Information ("SAI") for the Fund is available from the Adviser (or in the
Fund's  discretion, the Prospectus shall state that such SAI is available from
the Fund), and the Adviser (or the Fund), at its expense, shall print and
provide one copy of such SAI free of charge to the Company and to any owner of
a  Contract or prospective owner who requests such Statement.  The Company may
make additional copies of the SAI at its expense.

     3.3.  The Fund, at its expense, shall provide the Company with copies of
its proxy material, reports to shareholders, and other communications to
shareholders in such quantity as the Company shall reasonably require for
distributing  to  Contract  owners;  provided, however, that the Company shall
bear the expenses for the costs of printing and distributing any proxy
material,  reports  to  shareholders  and other communications to shareholders
that are prepared at the request of the Company.

     3.4.  If and to the extent required by law the Company shall:
          (i)   solicit voting instructions from Contract owners;
          (ii)  vote the Fund shares in accordance with instructions received
                from Contract owners; and

to require pass-through voting privileges for owners of Variable Insurance
Products.  The Company  reserves  the  right to vote Fund shares held in any
segregated asset account in its own right, to the extent permitted by law.
Participating Insurance Companies shall be responsible for assuring that each
of their separate  accounts participating in the Fund calculates voting
privileges in a manner consistent with this Section.

     4.2.  The Company shall not give any information or make any

then the underwriter may make payments to the Company for the Contracts if and

     5.3.  The printing and distributing of the prospectus for the Portfolios
(or that portion of a prospectus relating to the Portfolios should the Company
determine to print a combined prospectus) to existing owners of Contracts
shall be at the expense of the Fund.

ARTICLE VI.  DIVERSIFICATION

     6.1.  Subject to the following sentence, the Fund will at all times
comply with Section 817(h) of the Code and Treasury Regulation 1.817-5,
relating  to the diversification requirements for variable annuity, endowment,
or  life insurance contracts and any amendments or other modifications to such
Section or Regulations.  In the event of any changes to such Section or
Regulations  relating to the treatment of variable contracts, the Company will
advise the Fund of such changes.

ARTICLE VII.  POTENTIAL CONFLICTS

     7.1  The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the Fund has filed an
application  with the SEC to request an order (the "Exemptive Order") granting
relief from various provisions of the 1940 Act and the rules thereunder to the
extent necessary to permit Fund shares to be sold to and held by variable
annuity  and  variable life insurance separate accounts of both affiliated and
unaffiliated  Participating  Insurance  Companies  and Qualified Plans.  It is
anticipated  that  the  Exemptive Order, when and if issued, shall require the
Fund  and  each  Participating Insurance Company to comply with conditions and
undertakings  substantially  as provided in this Article VII. If the Exemptive
Order imposes conditions on the Company materially different from those
provided  for  in this Article VII, the conditions and undertakings imposed by
the Exemptive Order shall govern this Agreement.  The Fund will not enter into
a participation agreement with any other Participating Insurance Company
unless  it  imposes the same conditions and undertakings as are imposed on the
Company hereby.

     7.2  The Company will report any potential or existing conflicts promptly
to  the  Board,  and in particular whenever contract owner voting instructions
are disregarded, and recognizes that it shall be responsible for assisting the
Board  in  carrying  out its responsibilities in connection with the Exemptive
Order.    The Company agrees to carry out such responsibilities with a view to
the interests of contract owners.

     7.3.  If it is determined by a majority of the Board, or a majority of
its  disinterested  directors  that a material irreconcilable conflict exists,
the Company and other Participating Insurance Companies shall, at their
expense  and to the extent reasonably practicable (as determined by a majority
of the disinterested trustees), take whatever steps are necessary to remedy or
eliminate  the irreconcilable material conflict, including but not limited to:
(1)  withdrawing  the assets allocable to some or all of the separate accounts
from the Fund or any Portfolio and reinvesting such assets in a different
investment  medium,  including  (but  not limited to) another Portfolio of the
Fund, or submitting the question whether such segregation should be
implemented,  to  a  vote of all affected Contract owners and, as appropriate,
segregating the assets of any appropriate group (i.e., annuity contract
owners,  life insurance contract owners, or variable contract owners of one or
more Participating Insurance Companies) that votes in favor of such
segregation,  or offering to the affected contract owners the option of making
such  a  change;  and  (2) establishing a new registered management investment
company or managed separate account.

     7.4  If a material irreconcilable conflict arises as a result of a
decision  by  the  Company to disregard contract owner voting instructions and
said decision represents a minority position or would preclude a majority vote
by all contract owners having an interest in the Fund, the Company may be
required, at the Board's election, to withdraw the Account's investment in the
Fund.

     7.5  For purposes of this Article VII, a majority of the disinterested
directors shall determine whether or not any proposed action adequately
remedies  any irreconcilable material conflict, but in no event shall the Fund
be  required  to bear the expense of establishing a new funding medium for any
Contract.   The Company shall not be required by this Article VII to establish
a  new  funding medium for any Contract if an offer to do so has been declined
by  vote of a majority of the contract owners materially adversely affected by
the  irreconcilable material conflict.  In the event that the Board determines
that any proposed action does not adequately remedy any irreconcilable
material  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 of the Board.

     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
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 Shared Funding
Exemptive Order, then (a) the Fund and/or the Participating Insurance
Companies, 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.

ARTICLE VIII.  INDEMNIFICATION

     8.1.  INDEMNIFICATION BY THE COMPANY

     8.1(a).  The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Fund
and  each  of its directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls
the  Fund  within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act (collectively, the
"Indemnified  Parties"  for  purposes of this Section 8.1) against any and all
losses,  claims,  damages,  liabilities  (including amounts paid in settlement
with  the  written  consent of the Company) 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 are related to the sale or acquisition of the Fund's shares or the
Contracts and:

     (i)  arise out of or are based upon any untrue statements or
alleged  untrue  statements of any material fact contained in the Registration
Statement or prospectus for the Contract or contained in the Contracts or
sales  literature  for the 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 the Company by
or  on  behalf of the Fund for use in the Registration Statement or prospectus
for the Contracts or in the Contracts or sales literature (or any amendment or
supplement)  or otherwise for use in connection with the sale of the Contracts
or Fund shares; or

     (ii)  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 the Fund not
supplied  by the Company, or persons under its control) or wrongful conduct of
the Company or persons under its control, with respect to the sale or
distribution of the Contracts or Fund Shares; or

     (iii)  arise out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in a Registration Statement,
prospectus, or sales literature of the Fund 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 a statement or omission was made in
reliance upon information furnished to the Fund by or on behalf of the
Company; or

     (iv)  arise as a result of any failure by the Company to
provide the services and furnish the materials under the terms of this
Agreement; or

     (v)  arise out of or result from any material breach of any
representation  and/or warranty made by the Company in this Agreement or arise
out of or result from any other material breach of this Agreement by the
Company.

     8.1(b).  The 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 the Fund, whichever is applicable.

     8.1(c).  The 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 the 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 the Company of
any  such  claim shall not relieve the 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 the Indemnified Parties, the Company shall be entitled to
participate,  at  its own expense, in the defense of such action.  The Company
also shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with counsel
satisfactory  to the party named in the action.  After notice from the Company
to  such  party  of  the 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 the 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.

     8.1(d).  The indemnification provided by this Section 8.1 shall
survive the termination of this Agreement and shall be in addition to any
other liability the Company may have.

     8.2.  INDEMNIFICATION BY THE ADVISER

     8.2(a).  The Adviser agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
Company  and  each  of its directors and officers and each person, if any, who
controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act
(collectively,  the  "Indemnified  Parties"  for purposes of this Section 8.2)
against  any  and  all losses, claims, damages, liabilities (including amounts
paid in settlement with the written consent of the Adviser) or litigation
(including legal and other expenses) to which the Indemnified Parties may
become  subject under any statute, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such
losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect
thereof) or settlements:

     (i)  arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or
alleged  untrue  statement  of any material fact contained in the Registration
Statement  or  prospectus or sales literature of the Fund (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 the Adviser or Fund by or on behalf of the Company for use in the
Registration  Statement  or prospectus for the Fund or in sales literature (or
any  amendment or supplement) or otherwise for use in connection with the sale
of the Contracts or Fund shares; or

     (ii)  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 Contracts not
supplied  by  the Adviser or persons under its control) or wrongful conduct of
the Fund or Adviser or persons under their control; or

     (iii) 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 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 statement
or  statements  therein not misleading, if such statement or omission was made
in  reliance  upon information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the
Fund; or

     (iv)  arise as a result of (a) any failure by the Fund to
provide the services and furnish the material under the terms of this
Agreement;  or  (b) a failure to comply with Article VI of this Agreement with
respect to diversification requirements; or (c) failure to qualify as a
registered investment company under Subchapter M of the Code; or

     (v)  arise out of or result from any material breach of any
representation and/or warranty made by the Adviser or the Fund in this
Agreement  or  arise  out  of or result from any other material breach of this
Agreement by the Adviser or the Fund.

     8.2(b).  The Adviser 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 the Company or Account, whichever, is applicable.

     8.2(c).  The Adviser shall not be able under this indemnification
provision  with  respect to any claim made against an Indemnified Party unless
such  Indemnified  Party  shall  have notified the Adviser 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 the Adviser of
any  such  claim shall not relieve the Adviser 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, the Adviser will be entitled to
participate,  at  its  own  expense, in the defense thereof.  The Adviser also
shall  be  entitled to assume the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to
the party named in the action.  After notice from the Adviser to such party of
the  Adviser's  election  to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnified Party
shall bear the fees and expenses of any additional counsel retained by it, and
the Adviser 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.

     8.2(d).  The indemnification provided by this Section 8.2 shall
survive the termination of this Agreement and shall be in addition to any
other liability the Fund or Adviser may have.

Prompt  notice  of the election to terminate for such cause shall be furnished

     (c)  at the option of the Fund upon institution of formal

of any state or any other regulatory body regarding the Company's duties under
this  Agreement or related to the sale of the Contracts, the administration of

ability to perform its obligation and duties hereunder; or

     (d)  at the option of the Company upon institution of formal
proceedings  against the Fund by the NASD, the SEC, or any state securities or

adverse publicity is likely to have a material adverse impact upon the
business and operations of the Company; or

subject of material adverse publicity and such material adverse change or
material  adverse  publicity  is likely to have a material adverse impact upon
the business and operations of the Fund or Adviser; or

     (l)  at the option of the Fund in the event any of the Contracts
are not issued or sold in accordance with applicable federal and/or state law.
Termination shall be effective immediately upon such occurrence without
notice, or

     (m)  automatically upon its assignment by any party without the
other parties' prior written consent; or

     (n) in the event the Fund's shares are not registered, issued or
sold in accordance with applicable state or federal law, or such law precludes

contracts issued or to be issued by the Company.  Termination shall be
effective immediately upon such occurrence without notice.

     10.3.  Notice Requirement

     (a)  In the event that any termination of this Agreement is based
upon the provisions of Article VII such prior written notice shall be given in
advance of the effective date of termination as required by such provisions.

     (b)  In the event that any termination of this Agreement is based
upon  the  provisions of Sections 10.2(b)- (d) or 10.2(g) - (i), prior written

furnished by the party terminating the Agreement to the non-terminating
parties,  with said termination to be effective upon receipt of such notice by
the non-terminating parties.

     (c)  In the event that any termination of this Agreement is based
upon  the  provisions  of Sections 10.2(j) or 10.2(k), prior written notice of
the  election  to terminate this Agreement for cause shall be furnished by the
party  terminating  this Agreement to the non-terminating parties.  Such prior
written  notice  shall be given by the party terminating this Agreement to the
non-terminating parties at least 30 days before the effective date of
termination.

     10.4.  It is understood and agreed that the right to terminate this
Agreement  pursuant  to Section 10.2(a) may be exercised for any reason or for
no reason.

     10.5.  EFFECT OF TERMINATION

     (a)  Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement pursuant to
Section  10.2  of this Agreement, the Fund may, at its option, or in the event
of termination of this Agreement by the Fund or the Adviser pursuant to
Section  10.2(a)  of  this Agreement, the Company may require the Fund and the
Adviser  to,  continue  to make available additional shares of the Fund for so
long  after  the  termination of this Agreement as the Fund or the Company, if
the  Company  is so requiring, desires pursuant to the terms and conditions of
this  Agreement as provided in paragraph (b) below for all Contracts in effect
on  the  effective date of termination of this Agreement (hereinafter referred
to as "Existing Contracts").  Specifically, without limitation, if the Fund so
elects to make available additional shares of the Fund or if the Company is so
requiring, the owners of the Existing Contracts shall be permitted to
reallocate investments in the Fund, redeem investments in the Fund and/or
invest  in  the Fund upon the making of additional purchase payments under the
Existing  Contracts.  The parties agree that this Section 10.5 shall not apply
to any terminations under Article VII and the effect of such Article VII
terminations shall be governed by Article VII of this Agreement.

     (b) In the event of a termination of this Agreement pursuant to
Section  10.2  of  this  Agreement, the Fund shall promptly notify the Company
whether the Fund will continue to make available shares of the Fund after such
termination,  except  that,  with  respect to a termination by the Fund or the
Adviser pursuant to Section 10.2(a) of this Agreement, the Company shall
promptly notify the Fund whether it wishes the Fund to continue to make
available additional shares of the Fund.  If shares of the Fund continue to be
made  available after such termination, the provisions of this Agreement shall
remain  in  effect  except  for Section 10.2(a) and thereafter the Fund or the
Company  may terminate the Agreement, as so continued pursuant to this Section
10.5  upon  written  notice to the other party, such notice to be for a period
that is reasonable under the circumstances.

     (c)  In determining whether to make available additional Fund
shares, the Fund shall act in good faith, giving due consideration to the
interest of the existing shareholders, including holders of the existing
Contracts.

     [10.6.  Except (a) as necessary to implement contractowner initiated or
approved transactions, or (b) as required by state insurance laws or
regulations  (a  "Legally  Required Redemption"), the Company shall not redeem
Fund shares attributable to the Contracts (as opposed to Fund shares
attributable  to  the  Company's  assets held in the Account), and the Company
shall  not prevent contractowners from allocating payments to a Portfolio that
was  otherwise  available under the Contracts, until 90 days after the Company
shall have notified the Fund or Adviser of its intention to do so.  Upon
request, the Company will promptly furnish to the Fund and Adviser the opinion
of  counsel for the Company (which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to
the Fund and the Adviser) to the effect that a particular redemption is a
Legally Required Redemption.]

                                  EXHIBIT B

Appreciation Portfolio

     7.1.  The Board will monitor the Fund for the existence of any material
irreconcilable conflict among the interests of the contract owners of all
separate  accounts investing in the Fund.  An irreconcilable material conflict
may arise for a variety of reasons, including: (a) an action by any state
insurance  regulatory  authority;  (b) a change in applicable federal or state
insurance,  tax or securities laws or regulations, or a public ruling, private
letter ruling, no-action or interpretive letter, 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  any  Portfolio  are being managed; (e) a difference in voting
instructions given by variable annuity contract owners and variable life
insurance  contract  owners;  or (f) a decision by an insurer to disregard the
voting  instructions  of contract owners.  The Board shall promptly inform the
Company  if  it determines that an irreconcilable material 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 upon request 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 disregarded.

     7.4.  If a material irreconcilable conflict arises because of a decision
by the Company to disregard contract owner voting instructions and that
decision represents a minority position or would preclude a majority vote, the
Company may be required, at the Fund's election, to withdraw the affected
Account's  investment in the Fund and terminate this Agreement with respect to
such  Account; provided, however that such withdrawal and termination shall be
limited to the extent required by the foregoing material irreconcilable
conflict as determined by a majority of the disinterested members of the
Board.    Any  such  withdrawal and termination must take place within six (6)
months after the Fund gives written notice that this provision is being
implemented,  and  until the end of that six month period the Adviser and Fund
shall  continue to accept and implement orders by the Company for the purchase
(and redemption) of shares of the Fund.

     7.5.  If a material irreconcilable conflict arises because a particular
state  insurance regulator's decision applicable to the Company conflicts with
the  majority  of  other  state regulators, then the Company will withdraw the
affected  Account's  investment  in the Fund and terminate this Agreement with
respect  to such Account within six months after the Board informs the Company
in writing that it has determined that such decision has created an
irreconcilable  material conflict; provided, however, that such withdrawal and
termination  shall be limited to the extent required by the foregoing material
irreconcilable conflict as determined by a majority of the disinterested
members  of  the  Board.  Until the end of the foregoing six month period, the
Adviser  and Fund shall continue to accept and implement orders by the Company
for the purchase (and redemption) of shares of the Fund.PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT

     WHEREAS, each Account is a duly organized, validly existing
segregated asset account, established by resolution of the Board of
Directors of the Company, on the date shown for such Account on
Schedule A hereto, to set aside and invest assets attributable to one
or more variable life and annuity contracts; and

     WHEREAS, the Company, to the extent required under federal law,

     WHEREAS, to the extent permitted by applicable insurance laws
and regulations, the Company intends to purchase shares in the
Portfolios on behalf of each Account to fund certain of the aforesaid

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of their mutual promises the
Company, the Fund and the Adviser agree as follows:

ARTICLE I.  Sale of Fund Shares
            -------------------

     1.1.  The Fund agrees to sell to the Company those shares of the
Fund which each Account orders, executing such orders on a daily
basis at the net asset value next computed after receipt by the Fund
or its designee of the order for the shares of the Fund.  For
purposes of this Section l.l, the Company shall be the designee of
the Fund for receipt of such orders from each Account

                          -2-

<PAGE>
and receipt by
such designee shall constitute receipt by the Fund; provided that the
Fund receives notice of such order by 10:00 a.m. Eastern time on the
next following Business Day.  "Business Day" shall mean any day on
which the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading and on which
the Fund calculates its net asset value pursuant to the rules of the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

     1.2.  The Fund agrees to make its shares available indefinitely
for purchase at the applicable net asset value per share by the
Company and its Accounts on those days on which the Fund calculates
its net asset value pursuant to rules of the SEC and the Fund shall
use reasonable efforts to calculate such net asset value on each day
which the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board of Directors of the Fund
(hereinafter the "Board") may refuse to sell shares of any Portfolio
to any person, or suspend or terminate the offering of 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 acting in good faith and in light of their fiduciary duties
under federal and any applicable state laws, necessary in the best
interest of the shareholders of such Portfolio.

     1.3.  The Fund and the Adviser agree that shares of the Fund
will be sold only to Participating Insurance Companies and their
separate accounts and, in accordance with the terms of the Mixed and
Shared Funding Exemptive Order, certain Qualified Plans.  No shares
of any Portfolio will be sold to the general public.

     1.4.  The Fund will not sell Fund shares to any insurance
company or separate account unless an agreement containing provisions
substantially the same as Articles I and VII, Section 2.5 of Article
II and Sections 3.4 and 3.5 of Article III of this Agreement is in
effect to govern such sales.

     1.5.  The Fund agrees to redeem for cash, on the Company's
request, any full or fractional shares of the Fund held by the
Company, executing such requests on a daily basis at the net asset
value next computed after receipt by the Fund or its designee of the
request for redemption.  For purposes of Sections 2.10 and 2.11, upon
the payment by the Fund to the Company of the proceeds of such
redemptions, such proceeds shall cease to be the responsibility of
the Fund and shall become the responsibility of the Company.  For
purposes of this Section 1.5, the Company shall be the designee of
the Fund for receipt of requests for redemption from each Account and
receipt by such designee shall constitute receipt by the Fund;
provided that the Fund receives notice of

                           -3-

<PAGE>
such request for redemption
by 10:00 a.m. Eastern time on the next following Business Day.

     1.6.  The Company agrees to purchase and redeem the shares of
each Portfolio offered by the then current prospectus of the Fund in
accordance with the provisions of such prospectus.  The Company
agrees that all net amounts available under the variable life and
variable annuity contracts with the form number(s) which are listed
on Schedule C attached hereto and incorporated herein by this
reference, as such Schedule C may be amended from time to time
hereafter by mutual written agreement of all the parties hereto and
which such contracts have been sold pursuant to an Annuity Selling
Agreement dated February 10, 1995, by and between the Company, PFS
Investments Inc. and Primerica Financial Services, Inc. (the
"Contracts"), shall be invested in the Portfolios, in such other
funds advised by the Adviser as may be mutually agreed to in writing
by the parties hereto, or in the Company's general account, provided
that such amounts may also be invested in an investment company other
than the Fund if (a) such other investment company, or series
thereof, has investment objectives or policies that are substantially
different from the investment objectives and policies of the
Portfolios of the Fund; or (b) the Company gives the Fund and the
Adviser 60 days written notice of its intention to make such other
investment company available as a funding vehicle for the Contracts;
or (c) such other investment company was available as a funding
vehicle for the Contracts prior to the date of this Agreement and the
Company so informs the Fund and Adviser prior to their signing this
Agreement; or (d) the Fund or Adviser consents to the use of such
other investment company.

     1.7.  The Company shall pay for Fund shares on the next Business
Day after an order to purchase Fund shares is made in accordance with
the provisions of Section 1.1 hereof.  Payment shall be in federal
funds transmitted by wire.  For purposes of Section 2.9 and 2.10,
upon receipt by the Fund of the federal funds so wired, such funds
shall cease to be the responsibility of the Company and shall become
the responsibility of the Fund.

     1.8.  Issuance and transfer of the Fund's shares will be by book
entry only.  Stock certificates will not be issued to the Company or
any Account.  Shares ordered from the Fund will be recorded in an
appropriate title for each Account or the appropriate subaccount of
each Account.

     1.9.  The Fund shall furnish notice (by wire or telephone,
followed by written confirmation) as soon as is reasonably
practicable to the Company of any income, dividends or capital

                        -4-

<PAGE>
gain
distributions payable on the Fund's shares.  The Company hereby
elects to receive all such income dividends and capital gain
distributions as are payable on the Portfolio shares in additional
shares of that 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.  The Fund shall make the net asset value per share for
each Portfolio available to the Company on a daily basis as soon as
reasonably practical after the net asset value per share is
calculated (normally 6:30 p.m. Eastern time) and shall use its best
efforts to make such net asset value per share available by 7:00 p.m.
Eastern time.  If the Fund provides the Company with the incorrect
share net asset value information, the Company on behalf of the
Account shall be entitled to a prompt adjustment to the number of
shares purchased or redeemed to reflect the correct share net asset
value.  Upon a final determination that there has been an error in
the calculation of net asset value, dividend or capital gain, the
Fund shall report such error to the Company.

                        -5-

pursuant to Rule 12b-1, the Fund undertakes to have a board of
directors, a majority of whom are not interested persons of the Fund,
formulate and approve any plan under Rule 12b-1 to finance
distribution expenses.

     2.6.  The Fund makes no representation as to whether any aspect
of its operations (including, but not limited to, fees and expenses
and investment policies) complies with the insurance laws or
regulations of the various states except that the Fund and the
Adviser represent that their respective operations are and shall at
all times remain in material compliance with the laws of the State of
Maryland to the extent required to perform this Agreement.

its directors, officers, employees, investment advisers, and other
individuals/entities deal with the money and/or securities of the
Fund they will at all such times be covered by a blanket fidelity

ARTICLE III.  Prospectuses and Proxy Statements; Voting
              -----------------------------------------

     3.1.  The Adviser and the Fund shall provide to the Company such
documentation (including a final copy of the Fund's most current
prospectus as set in type at the Fund's expense) and other assistance
as is reasonably necessary in order for the Company once each year
(or more frequently if the prospectus for the Fund is amended) to
have the prospectus for the Contracts and the Portfolios' prospectus
printed in a combined document with the prospectuses of other funds
invested in by the Account (such printing to be at the Company's
expense except as provided in Section 5.3 hereof).

     3.2.  The Fund's prospectus shall state that the Statement of
Additional Information ("SAI") for the Fund is available from the
Adviser (or in the Fund's discretion, the Prospectus shall state that
such SAI is available from the Fund), and the Adviser (or the Fund),
at its expense, shall print and provide one copy of such SAI free of
charge to the Company and to any owner of a Contract or prospective
owner who requests such Statement.  The Company may make additional
copies of the SAI at its expense.

     3.3.  The Fund, at its expense, shall provide the Company with
copies of its proxy material, reports to shareholders, and other
communications to shareholders in such quantity as the Company shall
reasonably require for distributing to Contract owners;  provided,
however, that the Company shall bear the expenses for the costs of
printing and distributing any proxy material, reports to shareholders
and other communications to shareholders that are prepared at the
request of the Company.

     3.4.  If and to the extent required by law the Company shall:

           (i)   solicit voting instructions from Contract owners;

           (ii)  vote the Fund shares in accordance with instructions
                 received from Contract owners; and

           (iii) vote Fund shares for which no instructions have been
                 received in the same proportion as Fund shares of such
                 Portfolio for which instructions have been received;

                             -8-

<PAGE>

so long as and to the extent that the SEC continues to interpret the
1940 Act to require pass-through voting privileges for owners of
Variable Insurance Products.  The Company reserves the right to vote
Fund shares held in any segregated asset account in its own right, to
the extent permitted by law.  Participating Insurance Companies shall
be responsible for assuring that each of their separate accounts
participating in the Fund calculates voting privileges in a manner
consistent with this Section.

     3.5.  The Fund will comply with all provisions of the 1940 Act

the Adviser or the designee of either.

     4.3.  The Fund, and the Adviser, or its designee shall furnish,

make any representations on behalf of the Company or concerning the
Company, each Account, or the Contracts other than the information or
representations contained in a registration statement or prospectus
for the Contracts, as such registration

                              -9-

<PAGE>
statement and prospectus may
be amended or supplemented from time to time, or in published reports
for each Account which are in the public domain or approved by the
Company for distribution to Contract owners, or in sales literature
or other promotional material approved by the Company or its
designee, except with the permission of the Company.

     4.5.  The Fund will provide to the Company at least one complete

     5.1.  The Fund and Adviser shall pay no fee or other
compensation to the Company under this Agreement, except that if the
Fund or any Portfolio adopts and implements a plan pursuant to Rule
12b-1 to finance distribution expenses, then the underwriter

<PAGE>
may make
payments to the Company for the Contracts if and in amounts agreed to
by the Adviser in writing and such payments will be made out of
existing fees otherwise payable to the Adviser, past profits of the
Adviser or other resources available to the Adviser, or by the Fund,
to the extent permitted.  Currently, no such payments are
contemplated.

     5.2.  All expenses incident to performance by the Fund under

sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 and 5.3 hereof, the Fund shall bear the

shares.

     5.3.  The printing and distributing of the prospectus for the
Portfolios (or that portion of a prospectus relating to the
Portfolios should the Company determine to print a combined
prospectus) to existing owners of Contracts shall be at the expense
of the Fund.

ARTICLE VI.  Diversification
             ---------------

     6.1. Subject to the following sentence, the Fund will at all
times comply with Section 817(h) of the Code and Treasury Regulation
1.817-5, relating to the diversification requirements for variable
annuity, endowment, or life insurance contracts and any amendments or
other modifications to such Section or Regulations.  In the event of
any changes to such Section or Regulations relating to the treatment
of variable contracts, the Company will advise the Fund of such
changes.

ARTICLE VII.  Potential Conflicts
              -------------------

     7.1  The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the Fund has
filed an application with the SEC to request an order (the "Exemptive
Order") granting relief from various provisions of the 1940 Act and
the rules thereunder to the extent necessary to permit Fund shares to
be sold to and held by variable annuity and variable life insurance
separate accounts of both affiliated and unaffiliated Participating
Insurance Companies and Qualified Plans.  It is anticipated that the
Exemptive Order, when and if issued, shall require the Fund and each
Participating Insurance

                         -11-

Company to comply with conditions and
undertakings substantially as provided in this Article VII. If the
Exemptive Order imposes conditions on the Company materially
different from those provided for in this Article VII, the conditions
and undertakings imposed by the Exemptive Order shall govern this
Agreement.  The Fund will not enter into a participation agreement
with any other Participating Insurance Company unless it imposes the
same conditions and undertakings as are imposed on the Company
hereby.

     7.2  The Company will report any potential or existing conflicts
promptly to the Board, and in particular whenever contract owner
voting instructions are disregarded, and recognizes that it shall be
responsible for assisting the Board in carrying out its
responsibilities in connection with the Exemptive Order.  The Company
agrees to carry out such responsibilities with a view to the
interests of contract owners.

     7.3.  If it is determined by a majority of the Board, or a
majority of its disinterested directors that a material
irreconcilable conflict exists, the Company and other Participating
Insurance Companies shall, at their expense and to the extent
reasonably practicable (as determined by a majority of the
disinterested trustees), take whatever steps are necessary to remedy
or eliminate the irreconcilable material conflict, including but not
limited to: (1) withdrawing the assets allocable to some or all of
the separate accounts from the Fund or any Portfolio and reinvesting
such assets in a different investment medium, including (but not
limited to) another Portfolio of the Fund, or submitting the question
whether such segregation should be implemented, to a vote of all
affected Contract owners and, as appropriate, segregating the assets
of any appropriate group (i.e., annuity contract owners, life
insurance contract owners, or variable contract owners of one or more
Participating Insurance Companies) that votes in favor of such
segregation, or offering to the affected contract owners the option
of making such a change; and (2) establishing a new registered
management investment company or managed separate account.

     7.4  If a material irreconcilable conflict arises as a result of
a decision by the Company to disregard contract owner voting
instructions and said decision represents a minority position or
would preclude a majority vote by all contract owners having an
interest in the Fund, the Company may be required, at the Board's
election, to withdraw the Account's investment in the Fund.

     7.5  For purposes of this Article VII, a majority of the
disinterested directors shall determine whether or not any proposed
action adequately remedies any irreconcilable material

                         -12-

<PAGE>

conflict, but
in no event shall the Fund be required to bear the expense of
establishing a new funding medium for any Contract.  The Company
shall not be required by this Article VII to establish a new funding
medium for any Contract if an offer to do so has been declined by
vote of a majority of the contract owners materially adversely
affected by the irreconcilable material conflict.  In the event that
the Board determines that any proposed action does not adequately
remedy any irreconcilable material 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 of the Board.

     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 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 Shared Funding Exemptive Order,
then (a) the Fund and/or the Participating Insurance Companies, 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.

ARTICLE VIII.  Indemnification
               ---------------

     8.1.  Indemnification By The Company
           ------------------------------

           8.1(a).  The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
     the Fund and each of its directors and officers and each person,
     if any, who controls the Fund within the meaning of Section 15
     of the 1933 Act (collectively, the "Indemnified Parties" for
     purposes of this Section 8.1) against any and all losses,
     claims, damages, liabilities (including amounts paid in
     settlement with the written consent of the Company) 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 are related to the sale or acquisition
     of the Fund's shares or the Contracts and:

                             -13-

<PAGE>

                    (i)  arise out of or are based upon any untrue
          statements or alleged untrue statements of any material
          fact contained in the Registration Statement or prospectus
          for the Contract or contained in the Contracts or sales
          literature for the 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 the
          Company by or on behalf of the Fund for use in the
          Registration Statement or prospectus for the Contracts or
          in the Contracts or sales literature (or any amendment or
          supplement) or otherwise for use in connection with the
          sale of the Contracts or Fund shares; or

                    (ii) 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 the Fund not supplied by the Company,
          or persons under its control) or wrongful conduct of the
          Company or persons under its control, with respect to the
          sale or distribution of the Contracts or Fund shares; or

                    (iii) arise out of any untrue statement or
          alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a
          Registration Statement, prospectus, or sales literature of
          the Fund 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 a
          statement or omission was made in reliance upon information
          furnished to the Fund by or on behalf of the Company; or

                    (iv) arise as a result of any failure by the
          Company to provide the services and furnish the materials
          under the terms of this Agreement; or

                    (v)  arise out of or result from any material
          breach of any representation and/or warranty made by

                                -14-

<PAGE>

          the
          Company in this Agreement or arise out of or result from
          any other material breach of this Agreement by the Company.

          8.1(b).  The 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 the Fund, whichever is
     applicable.

          8.1(c).  The 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 the 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 the Company of any such claim shall not
     relieve the 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 the Indemnified Parties, the
     Company shall be entitled to participate, at its own expense, in
     the defense of such action.  The Company also shall be entitled
     to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to the
     party named in the action.  After notice from the Company to
     such party of the 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 the 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.

          8.1(d).  The indemnification provided by this Section 8.1
     shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall be in
     addition to any other liability the Company may have.

     8.2.  Indemnification by the Adviser
           ------------------------------

           8.2(a).  The Adviser agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
     the Company and each of its directors and officers

                              -15-

<PAGE>
     and each
     person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of
     Section 15 of the 1933 Act (collectively, the "Indemnified
     Parties" for purposes of this Section 8.2) against any and all
     losses, claims, damages, liabilities (including amounts paid in
     settlement with the written consent of the Adviser) or
     litigation (including legal and other expenses) to which the
     Indemnified Parties may become subject under any statute, at
     common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims,
     damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof)
     or settlements:

               (i)  arise out of or are based upon any untrue
          statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact
          contained in the Registration Statement or prospectus or
          sales literature of the Fund (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 the
          Adviser or Fund by or on behalf of the Company for use in
          the Registration Statement or prospectus for the Fund or in
          sales literature (or any amendment or supplement) or
          otherwise for use in connection with the sale of the
          Contracts or Fund shares; or

               (ii) 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 Contracts not supplied by the
          Adviser or persons under its control) or wrongful conduct
          of the Fund or Adviser or persons under their control; or

               (iii) 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 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 statement or statements therein
          not misleading, if such statement or omission was made in
          reliance upon information

                                   -16-

<PAGE>
          furnished to the Company by or on
          behalf of the Fund; or

               (iv)  arise as a result of (a) any failure by the Fund
          to provide the services and furnish the material under the
          terms of this Agreement; or (b) a failure to comply with
          Article VI of this Agreement with respect to
          diversification requirements; or (c) failure to qualify as
          a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the
          Code; or

               (v)  arise out of or result from any material breach
          of any representation and/or warranty made by the Adviser
          or the Fund in this Agreement or arise out of or result
          from any other material breach of this Agreement by the
          Adviser or the Fund.

          8.2(b).  The Adviser 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 the Company or Account,
     whichever, is applicable.

          8.2(c).  The Adviser 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 the Adviser 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 the Adviser of any such claim shall not
     relieve the Adviser 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, the
     Adviser will be entitled to participate, at its own expense, in
     the defense thereof.  The Adviser also shall be entitled to
     assume the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to the
     party named in the action.  After notice from the Adviser to
     such party of the Adviser's election to assume the defense
     thereof, the Indemnified Party shall bear the fees and expenses
     of any additional counsel retained by it, and the Adviser will
     not

                             -17-

<PAGE>
     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.

          8.2(d).  The indemnification provided by this Section 8.2
     shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall be in
     addition to any other liability the Fund or Adviser may have.

                           -20-

<PAGE>

            (c)  In the event that any termination of this Agreement

     10.5.  Effect of Termination
            ---------------------

            (a)  Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement
pursuant to Section 10.2 of this Agreement, the Fund may, at its
option, or in the event of termination of this Agreement by the Fund
or the Adviser pursuant to Section 10.2(a) of this Agreement, the
Company may require the Fund and the Adviser to, continue to make
available additional shares of the Fund for so long after the
termination of this Agreement as the Fund or the Company, if the
Company is so requiring, desires pursuant to the terms and conditions
of this Agreement as provided in paragraph (b) below for all
Contracts in effect on the effective date of termination of this
Agreement (hereinafter referred to as "Existing Contracts").
Specifically, without limitation, if the Fund so elects to make
available additional shares of the Fund or if the Company is so
requiring, the owners of the Existing Contracts shall be permitted to
reallocate investments in the Fund, redeem investments in the Fund
and/or invest in the Fund upon the making of additional purchase
payments under the Existing Contracts.  The parties agree that this
Section 10.5 shall not apply to any terminations under Article VII
and the effect of such Article VII terminations shall be governed by
Article VII of this Agreement.

            (b) In the event of a termination of this Agreement
pursuant to Section 10.2 of this Agreement, the Fund shall promptly
notify the Company whether the Fund will continue to make available
shares of the Fund after such termination, except that, with respect
to a termination by the Fund or the Adviser pursuant to
Section 10.2(a) of this Agreement, the Company shall promptly notify
the Fund whether it wishes the Fund to continue to make available
additional shares of the Fund.  If shares of the Fund continue to be
made available after such termination, the provisions of this
Agreement shall remain in effect except for Section 10.2(a) and
thereafter the Fund or the Company may

                         -21-

<PAGE>
terminate the Agreement, as so
continued pursuant to this Section 10.5 upon written notice to the
other party, such notice to be for a period that is reasonable under
the circumstances.

          (c)  In determining whether to make available additional
Fund shares, the Fund shall act in good faith, giving due
consideration to the interest of the existing shareholders, including
holders of the existing Contracts.

     10.6.  Except (a) as necessary to implement contractowner
initiated or approved transactions, or (b) as required by state
insurance laws or regulations (a "Legally Required Redemption"), the
Company shall not redeem Fund shares attributable to the Contracts
(as opposed to Fund shares attributable to the Company's assets held
in the Account), and the Company shall not prevent contractowners
from allocating payments to a Portfolio that was otherwise available
under the Contracts, until 90 days after the Company shall have
notified the Fund or Adviser of its intention to do so.  Upon
request, the Company will promptly furnish to the Fund and Adviser
the opinion of counsel for the Company (which counsel shall be
reasonably satisfactory to the Fund and the Adviser) to the effect
that a particular redemption is a Legally Required Redemption.
