Securities Lending Revenue Split - 91% of gross revenue to the accounts and 9% to BNY Mellon Asset Servciing with no Collateral Management Fee if selected as the sole lending provider for both the Variable Annuity and lnsurnace General Accounts

A security transaction is defined as a receipt or delivery versus payment, a free receive or deliver, maturities, or security movement related to corporate events (including P&I, Payup/Paydown, unless separately priced) or a cancellation of any of these movement types, except corporate events.

For clarity this fee schedule applies to custody and cash services provided under the Global Custody Agreement, including any annexes. It does not include custody and cash services related to other specialty products and services covered under separate agreements, including Global Collateral Services, which would be provided separately and subject to separate agreements and fees.

BNY Mellon reserves the right to amend the fees if the service requirements change in a way that materially affects our responsibilities or costs. Support of other derivative investment strategies or special processing requirements (e.g. external cash sweep, manual processing, bank loan processing, segregated collateral account support etc.) may result in additional fees.

BNY Mellon’s fees are based upon the data provided and the current regulatory environment. In the event that there are any material differences to the regulations, funds, assets transactions and / or services required, BNY Mellon reserves the right to amend our fees if the service requirements or volumes change in a way that materially affects our responsibilities or costs.

BNY Mellon reserves the right to implement fees for the provision of data and the maintenance of technology leveraged in the provision of data

Additionally, an administrative fee of 10% with a maximum of $250 per item will be assessed.

All Fees outlined in the fee schedule are based on all transactions being straight through processing, (STP)’. In case of manual intervention for transaction or corporate action where an automated solution, (STP) exists, a sur-charge will apply in addition to the transaction fee for each market, currency movement or external foreign exchange.

A security movement is defined as a receipt or delivery versus payment, a free receive or deliver, maturities, or security movement related to corporate events or a cancellation of any of these movement types, except corporate events. The transaction fees for all markets exclude the review , processing and execution of non-standard subscription forms or other documentation that is required to be completed as part of the processing of the transaction. Fees for such transactions will be quoted on request.

Asset fees for International Debt Instruments (as defined by Euroclear Bank) held at Euroclear will be assessed at our standard Euroclear rate indicated above. All other types of securities (including but not limited to International Equities, International Depository Receipts, International Warrants and Domestic Market Securities) held at Euroclear will be subject to a surcharge. The amount of the surcharge varies taking into account features of the particular security held. Purchases or sales Transactions involving the delivery of securities as referenced above within Euroclear or from a Euroclear account to a third party depository or settlement system will also be subject to a surcharge that varies based upon the details of the transaction.

Earn in gs Credits

Earnings credits and overdraft rates will be calculated monthly on the basis of the following formula:

(Net Positive/Net Negative)• (Avg. FF Rate)/ 365

“Net Positive”: equals the average net positive balances maintained by a Portfolio over the course of the applicable month less the applicable reserve requirement

“Net Negative”: equals the average net negative balances maintained by a Portfolio over the course of the applicable month plus the applicable reserve requirement.

“Avg. FF Rate”: equals the average Federal Funds Rate over the course of the applicable month.

At the end of each month, the net positive earnings credits and overdraft amounts are netted by Portfolio and offset against the applicable custody fees generated by each Portfo lio .

Excess Earnings Credits:

Monthly credit balances will roll forward to offset future Custodian fees and expenses. Unused Daily Credits will expire at calendar year end. Credit balances may not be transferred. They are used exclusively to offset Custodian fees and expenses and shall not be applied against investmentor other related expenses

Method of Payment

BNY Mellon will bill on a monthly or quarterly basis; payments will be directly charged to accounts designated by you, either automatically (“direct debit”) or following a charging instruction (“direct charge”).

All amounts due will be payable within 30 days of invoice date. Fees not paid within 60 days of the date of the invoice will be subject to a late charge of 1.5% per month. Any objections, corrections, or adjustments to a bill must be raised within 12 months of the billing date. In addition, BNY Mellon reserves the right to adjust a client bill for any under-billed activities up to 12 months after the billing date.
