             applicable securities and insurance laws of the states or

         In connection with the solicitation of applications for Contracts,
         Broker is hereby authorized to offer riders that are available with

         any action or circumstance that may prevent the lawful sale of
         Contracts in any state or jurisdiction, including the issuance by the
         SEC of any stop order with respect to a Registration Statement or the

         purpose relating to the registration and/or offering of Public
         Contracts.

    (3)  During the term of this Agreement, Distributor shall advise Broker of
         any amendment to a Registration Statement or any amendment or
         supplement to any Prospectus or Private Placement Memorandum.

C.  Agreements of Broker

    (1)  It is understood and agreed that Broker is a registered broker/dealer
         under the 1934 Act and a member of the NASD and that the agents or
         representatives of Broker who may solicit applications for Contracts
         shall be duly registered representatives of Broker. If an agent or
         representative ceases to be a registered representative of Broker, is
         disqualified from continued NASD registration, has his or her
         registration suspended by the NASD or otherwise fails to comply with
         the rules or meet the standards imposed by this Agreement or by
         Broker, Broker shall immediately notify such agent or representative
         and Distributor that such agent or representative is no longer
         authorized to solicit applications for Contracts.

    (2)  Commencing at such time as Distributor and Broker shall agree upon,
         Broker agrees to make commercially reasonable efforts to find
         purchasers for Contracts acceptable to Company, provided that Broker:

         (a) shall only offer a Private Contract to a person who (i) meets the
             definition of accredited investor under the 1933 Act, and (ii)
             meets the definition of qualified purchaser under the 1940 Act,
             if Accounts are not subject to registration under the 1940 Act
             pursuant to Section 3(c)(7) thereof; and

         (b) shall not solicit applications for Private Contracts in any
             manner that constitutes a public offering or involves any form of
             general solicitation or general advertising.

    (3)  In making commercially reasonable efforts to solicit applications for
         Contracts, Broker shall engage in the following activities during the
         term of this Agreement:

         (a) regularly utilize only training, sales and promotional materials
             relating to Contracts which have been approved by Company;

         (b) establish and implement reasonable procedures for periodic
             inspection and supervision of sales practices of its agents or
             representatives and submit periodic reports to Distributor as may
             be requested on the results of such inspections and the
             compliance with such procedures;

         (c) take reasonable steps to ensure that the various representatives
             appointed by it shall not make recommendations to an applicant to
             purchase a Contract in the absence of reasonable grounds to
             believe that the purchase of the Contract is suitable for such
             applicant. While not limited to the following, a determination of
             suitability shall be based on information furnished to a
             representative after reasonable inquiry of such applicant
             concerning the applicant's insurance and investment objectives,
             financial situation and needs, and, if applicable, the likelihood
             that the applicant will make the premium payments contemplated by
             the Contract; and

         (d) adopt, abide by, and enforce the principles set forth in the
             Principles and Code of Ethical Market Conduct of the Insurance
             Marketplace Standards Association as adopted by Company and
             provided to Broker with this Agreement.

    (4)  All payments for Contracts collected by agents or representatives of
         Broker shall be held at all times in a fiduciary capacity and shall
         be remitted promptly in full together with such applications, forms
         and other required documentation to an office of Company designated
         by Distributor. Checks or money orders in payment of initial premiums
         shall

                                 Page 2 of 11

   3

         be drawn to the order of "Peoples Benefit Life Insurance Company".
         Broker acknowledges that Company retains the ultimate right to
         control the sale of Contracts and that Distributor or Company shall
         have the unconditional right to reject, in whole or part, any
         application for a Contract. In the event Company or Distributor
         rejects an application, Company shall immediately return all payments
         directly to the purchaser and Broker shall be notified of such
         action. In the event that any purchaser of a Contract elects to
         return such Contract pursuant to the free look right, the purchaser
         shall receive a refund of either premium payments or the value of the
         invested portion of such premiums as set forth in the Contract and
         according to applicable state law. Broker shall be notified of any
         such action.

    (5)  Broker shall act as an independent contractor, and nothing herein
         contained shall constitute Broker, its agents or representatives, or
         any employees thereof as employees of Company or Distributor in
         connection with solicitation of applications for Contracts. Broker,
         its agents or representatives, and its employees shall not hold
         themselves out to be employees of Company or Distributor in this
         connection or in any dealings with the public.

    (6)  Broker agrees that any material, including material it develops,
         approves or uses for sales, training, explanatory or other purposes
         in connection with the solicitation of applications for Contracts
         hereunder (other than generic advertising materials which do not make
         specific reference to Company or Contracts) shall only be used after
         receiving the written consent of Distributor to such material and,
         where appropriate, the endorsement of Company to be obtained by
         Distributor.

    (7)  Solicitation and other activities by Broker shall be undertaken only
         in accordance with applicable Company procedures and ethical
         principles and applicable laws and regulations. No agent or
         representative of Broker shall solicit applications for Contracts
         until duly licensed and appointed by Company (such appointment not to
         be unreasonably withheld by Company) as a life insurance and variable
         contract broker or agent of Company in the appropriate states or
         other jurisdictions. Broker shall ensure that such agents or
         representatives fulfill any training requirements necessary to be
         licensed and that such agents or representatives are properly
         supervised and controlled pursuant to the rules and regulations of
         the SEC and the NASD. Broker shall certify agents' and
         representatives' qualifications to the satisfaction of Distributor.
         Broker will provide Distributor with a General Recommendation of
         Agents substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit "A" which
         will apply to all agents or subagents proposed to be licensed and/or
         appointed by the Company. Any documentation regarding the background
         investigation of agents conducted by Broker prior to appointment
         shall be made available as required upon valid request by any
         regulatory authority during the period the agent is appointed with
         the Company. Broker shall provide, from time to time as requested by
         Distributor, copies of insurance licenses for all states in which
         Broker holds the licenses and/or insurance licenses for any states in
         which Broker's affiliated insurance agency holds the licenses. Broker
         understands and acknowledges that neither it nor its agents or
         representatives is authorized by Distributor or Company to give any
         information or make any representation in connection with this
         Agreement or the offering of Contracts other than those contained in
         the Prospectus or Private Placement Memorandum, as the case may be,
         or other solicitation material authorized in writing by Distributor
         or Company.

    (8)  Broker shall not have authority on behalf of Distributor or Company
         to: make, alter or discharge any Contract or other form; waive any
         forfeiture; extend the time of paying any premium; receive any monies
         or premiums due, or to become due, to Company, except as set forth in
         Section C(4) of this Agreement. Broker shall not expend, nor contract
         for the expenditure of the funds of Distributor, nor shall Broker
         possess or exercise any authority on behalf of Distributor by this
         Agreement.

    (9)  Broker shall have the responsibility for maintaining the records of
         its representatives who are licensed, registered and otherwise
         qualified to sell Contracts.  Broker shall maintain such other
         records as are required of it by applicable laws and regulations.
         The books,

                                 Page 3 of 11

   4

         accounts and records of Company, Accounts, Distributor and Broker
         relating to the sale of Contracts shall be maintained so as to
         clearly and accurately disclose the nature and details of the
         transactions. All records maintained by Broker in connection with
         this Agreement shall be the property of Company and shall be returned
         to Company upon termination of this Agreement, free from any claims
         or retention of rights by Broker. Nothing in this Section C(9) shall
         be interpreted to prevent Broker from retaining copies of any such
         records relating to contract owner transactions which Broker is
         required to maintain in order to comply with applicable federal,
         NASD, and state regulation. Broker shall keep confidential any
         information obtained pursuant to this Agreement and shall disclose
         such information only if Company has authorized such disclosure or if
         such disclosure is expressly required by any regulatory authority or
         court of competent jurisdiction. Broker acknowledges that information
         regarding Contracts is proprietary information and that in connection
         with the offer and sale of Contracts, Broker may be required to
         execute confidentiality agreements with third parties. Broker
         acknowledges and agrees that monetary damages would not be a
         sufficient or adequate remedy for breach of the confidentiality
         provisions of this Section C(9) and that Company or Distributor shall
         be entitled to specific performance or injunctive relief, in addition
         to any other legal or equitable remedy which may be available. The
         confidentiality provisions of this Section C(9) shall survive the
         termination of this Agreement.

D.  Compensation

    (1)  Pursuant to the appropriate distribution agreement between
         Distributor and Company, Distributor shall cause Company to arrange
         for the payment of compensation for the sale of each Contract sold by
         an agent or representative of Broker in accordance with Company's
         agreement with the agent or representative, as the case may be, and
         the commission schedule attached thereto. Such amounts shall be paid
         to Broker, or if state insurance law requires, to an affiliated
         insurance agency, provided, that with respect to payments to an
         affiliated insurance agency, Broker:

         (a) has obtained a letter from the SEC staff to the effect that the
             staff will not recommend enforcement action if the affiliated
             insurance agency is not registered as a broker-dealer with the
             SEC; or

         (b) has obtained from counsel an opinion, which shall be provided to
             Distributor, that (i) Broker is entitled to rely on a no-action
             letter issued by the SEC staff, a copy of which shall be provided
             to Distributor, which granted no action relief to a broker-dealer
             with respect to the distribution activities of the
             broker-dealer's affiliated insurance agency when the insurance
             agency was not registered as a broker-dealer with the SEC, and

             (ii) such no-action letter has not been rescinded or modified.

         All terms and conditions of Company's agreement with the agent or
         representative, as the case may be, shall be incorporated by
         reference herein to the extent such terms and conditions do not
         conflict with this Agreement. Company shall identify to Broker with
         each such payment the name of the agent or representative of Broker
         who solicited each Contract covered by the payment.

    (2)  Neither Broker nor any of its agents or representatives shall have
         any right to withhold or deduct any part of any premium it may
         receive for purposes of payment of commission or otherwise. Neither
         Broker nor any of its agents or representatives shall have an
         interest in any compensation paid by Company to Distributor, now or
         hereafter, in connection with the sale of Contracts hereunder.

E.  Complaints and Investigations

    (1)  Broker and Distributor jointly agree to cooperate fully in any
         insurance or securities regulatory investigation or proceeding or
         judicial proceeding arising in connection with Contracts marketed
         under this Agreement. Broker, upon receipt, shall notify Distributor
         of any customer complaint or notice of any regulatory investigation
         or proceeding or judicial proceeding in connection with Contracts.
         Broker and Distributor further agree to cooperate fully in any
         securities regulatory investigation or proceeding or judicial
         proceeding with respect to Broker, Distributor, and their respective
         affiliates, agents or

                                 Page 4 of 11

   5

         representatives to the extent that such investigation or proceeding
         is in connection with Contracts marketed under this Agreement. Broker
         shall furnish applicable federal and state regulatory authorities
         with any information or reports in connection with its services under
         this Agreement which such authorities may request in order to
         ascertain whether Company's operations are being conducted in a
         manner consistent with any applicable law or regulation. Each party
         shall bear its own costs and expenses of complying with any
         regulatory requests, subject to any right of indemnification that may
         be available pursuant to Section G of this Agreement.

(2)      Broker shall report promptly in writing to Distributor all customer
         complaints relating to offers and sales of Contracts or made by or on
         behalf of owners of Contracts, whether written or oral, and shall
         assist Distributor and Company in resolving those complaints to the
         satisfaction of all parties.

F.  Term of Agreement

    (1)  This Agreement shall continue in force for one year from its
         effective date and thereafter shall automatically be renewed every
         year for a further one year period; provided that any party may

         (a) the bankruptcy or dissolution of Broker;

         (b) any fraud or gross negligence by Broker in the performance of any
             duties imposed by this Agreement or if Broker wrongfully

             Company, its policyholders or applicants;

         (c) any material  breaches by Broker of this Agreement;

         (d) any material violation of any applicable state or federal law
             and/or administrative regulation in a jurisdiction where Broker
             transacts business; or

         (e) any failure of Broker to maintain a necessary license in any
             jurisdiction, but only as to that jurisdiction and only until
             Broker reinstates its license in such jurisdiction.

    (2)  Upon termination of this Agreement, all authorizations, rights and
         obligations shall cease except:

         (a) the agreements contained in Sections C(9) and E hereof;

         (b) the indemnity set forth in Section G hereof; and

         out the provisions of this Agreement.

    (2)  Distributor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Broker and each
         officer or director of Broker against any losses, claims, damages or
         liabilities, joint or several, to which Broker or such officer or
         director may become subject under applicable law, insofar as such
         losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect
         thereof) arise out of or are based upon any allegedly untrue
         statement, or alleged omission, of a material fact, when it would be
         necessary to include a true statement of such fact in a Registration
         Statement, a Prospectus or a Private Placement Memorandum, as the
         case may be, or in any sales literature provided by Company or by
         Distributor in order to make the statements contained therein not
         misleading.

    (3)  Broker agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Company and Distributor
         and each of their current and former directors and officers and each
         person, if any, who controls or has controlled Company or Distributor
         within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act, against any
         losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which
         Company or Distributor or such director or officer or controlling
         person may become subject under

                                 Page 5 of 11


   6

         applicable law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or
         liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based
         upon any:

         (a) breach by Broker of any representation, warranty, covenant or
             agreement contained in this Agreement;

         (b) negligent act or omission or willful misconduct by Broker or any
             of its agents, employees, representatives or affiliates with
             respect to this Agreement;

         (c) failure by Broker or any of its agents, employees, or affiliates
             to comply with applicable law;

         (d) unauthorized use of sales material or any verbal or written
             misrepresentations or any unlawful sales practice concerning
             Contracts by Broker, agents, employees, representatives or
             affiliates; or

         (e) claim by any agent, representative or employee of Broker for
             commissions, service fees, development allowances or other
             compensation or remuneration of any type;

         (f) failure of Broker, its officers, employees, or agents to comply
             with the provisions of this Agreement.


         Broker shall reimburse Company and Distributor and any director,
         officer or controlling person of either for any legal or other
         expenses reasonably incurred by Company, Distributor, or such
         director, officer or controlling person in connection with
         investigating or defending against any such losses, claims, damages
         or liabilities or actions. This indemnity agreement shall be in
         addition to any liability which Broker may otherwise have.

    (4)  Any request for indemnification against a party (the "Indemnitor")
         arising out of a claim from a third party must be made in writing
         within a reasonable time after notice of a claim or receipt of a
         claim from a third party ("Claim") has been received by the party
         seeking indemnification (the "Indemnitee"). At any time after such
         request, Indemnitor may deliver to the Indemnitee its written
         acknowledgment that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification. The
         Indemnitor shall thereafter be entitled to assume the defense of the
         Claim and shall bear all expenses associated therewith, including
         without limitation, payment on a current basis of all previous
         expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in relation to the Claim from the
         date the Claim was brought. Until such time as Indemnitee receives
         notice of an Indemnitor's election to assume the defense of any
         Claim, Indemnitee may defend itself against the Claim and may hire

                                  EXHIBIT A

                       GENERAL LETTER OF RECOMMENDATION

Broker hereby certifies to the Distributor and Company that all the following
requirements will be fulfilled in conjunction with the submission of
licensing/appointment papers for all applicants as agents of the Company
submitted by Broker. Broker will, upon request, forward proof of compliance
with same to the Company in a timely manner.

    1.   We have made a reasonable investigation of each applicant's identity,
         residence and business reputation and declare that each applicant is
         personally known to us, and based on this review we believe each
         applicant has a good business reputation and is worthy of a license.

    2.   We have on file a U-4 form which was completed (and has been amended,
         as required) by each applicant. We have fulfilled all the necessary
         investigative requirements for the registration of each applicant as
         a registered representative through our NASD member firm, including
         but not limited to: (i) checking for and investigating criminal
         arrest and conviction records available to Broker on the CRD system;
         and (ii) communicating with each employer of the applicant for 3
         years prior to the applicant's registration with our firm. Each
         applicant is presently registered as an NASD registered
         representative.

         The above information in our files indicates no fact or condition
         which would disqualify the applicant from receiving a license and all
         the findings of all investigative information is favorable.

         At the time of application, in those states required by the Company,
         we shall provide the Company with a copy of the entire U-4 form, or
         designated pages, thereof, completed by each applicant, including any
         amendments or updates thereto, and we certify those items are true
         copies of the original.

    3.   We certify that all educational requirements have been met for the
         specified state each applicant is requesting a license in, and that
         all such persons have fulfilled the appropriate examination,
         education and training requirements.

    4.   If the applicant is required to submit his picture, his signature,
         and securities registration in the state in which he is applying for
         a license, we certify that those items forwarded to the Company are
         those of the applicant and the securities registration is a true copy
         of the original.

    5.   We hereby warrant that the applicant is not applying for a license
         with the Company in order to place insurance chiefly and solely on
         his life or property, or lives or property of his relatives, or
         property or liability of his associates.

    6.   We will not permit any applicant to transact insurance in a state as
         an agent until duly licensed and appointed therefor with the
         appropriate State Insurance Department. No applicants have been given
         a contract or furnished supplies, nor have any applicants been
         permitted to write, solicit business, or act as an agent in any
         capacity, and they will not be so permitted until the certificate of
         authority or license applied for is received.
