EXHIBIT A

Pursuant to Section 4 of the Fund Participation Agreement, ACIM shall reimburse the expenses of Mutual in administering Contract owner accounts as follows:

1.       ACIM acknowledges that it will derive a substantial savings in administrative expenses for administrative services provided by Mutual to Contract owners in connection with Fund shares purchased for the Contracts (the “Administrative Services,” including, but not limited to, those set forth on Exhibit B, attached hereto) as well as such as a reduction in expenses related to postage, shareholder communications and recordkeeping, by virtue of having a single shareholder account per Account rather than having each Contract owner or plan participant as a shareholder. In consideration of these Administrative Services, ACIM will pay Mutual a fee (the “Administrative Services Fee”) equal to 25 basis points (0.25%) per annum of the average aggregate amount invested by Mutual under this Agreement, except that no fee shall be due from ACIM for any month in which Mutual’s average aggregate investment in the Fund by all of its separate accounts is below $10 million.

2.       The payments received by Mutual under this Agreement are for administrative and shareholder services only and do not constitute payment in any manner for investment advisory services or for costs of distribution.

3.       For the purposes of computing the payment to Mutual contemplated by this Exhibit A, the average aggregate amount invested by Mutual on behalf of the Accounts in the Fund over a one- month period shall be computed by totaling Mutual’s aggregate investment (share net asset value multiplied by total number of shares of the Fund held by Mutual) on each Business Day during the month and dividing by the total number of Business Days during such month.

4.       ACIM will calculate the amount of the payment to be made pursuant to this Exhibit A at the end of each calendar quarter and will make such payment to Mutual within 30 days thereafter. The check for such payment will be accompanied by a statement showing the calculation of the amounts being paid by ACIM for the relevant months and such other supporting data as may be reasonably requested by Mutual and shall be mailed to the address shown below, as updated from time to time by written notice from Mutual:

EXHIBIT B

ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES

Pursuant to the Agreement to which this is attached, the Company shall perform all administrative and shareholder services required or requested by Plans funded by Contracts and with respect to Plan participants and individual Contract owners (together, “Participants”), including, but not limited to, the following:

1.       Maintain separate records for each Participant or Plan, as required, which records shall reflect the units of interest attributable to Fund shares purchased and redeemed and account balances held for such Participants or Plans. The Company will maintain a single master account with the Fund for each Account on behalf of Participants and Plans, and each such master account shall be in the name of the Company and its Account as the record owner of shares attributable to Participants and Plans under Contracts issued through the Account.

2.       Disburse to, or credit to the accounts of, Participants or Plans, as required, all proceeds of redemptions of shares of the Fund and any dividends and other distributions not reinvested in shares of the Fund.

3.       Prepare and transmit to the Plans and/or Participants, as required by law or the Plans, periodic statements showing the total number of units of interest owned by Plans and Participants attributable to Fund shares as of the statement closing date, purchases and redemptions of units of interest attributable to Fund shares by Plans and Participants during the period covered by the statement, and for Plans, the dividends and other distributions paid during the statement period (whether paid in cash or reinvested in Fund shares), and such other information as may be required, from time to time, by the Plans.

4.       Transmit purchase and redemption orders to the Fund on behalf of Plans and Participants in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 4 to the Agreement.

5.       Distribute to the Plans and/or Participants, as appropriate, copies of the Fund’s prospectus, proxy materials, periodic fund reports to shareholders and other materials that the Fund is required by law or otherwise to provide to its shareholders or prospective shareholders.

6.       Maintain and preserve all records as required by law to be maintained and preserved in connection with providing the Administrative Services for Plans and Participants.
