any conflict between the terms of the Networking Agreement and the terms of this
Supplement, the terms of the Networking Agreement shall govern.

(c) Fund Agent acknowledges that Insurance Company may engage one or more agents
to fulfill some or all of Insurance Company's responsibilities hereunder and
that said agent(s) shall be authorized to act on Insurance Company's behalf and

attempts of Fund Agent or the relevant Fund to recover any portion of the

available to Insurance Company as to the identity of the Contract Holder(s) from
whom such remainder has not been recovered. If the overpayment proceeds are

Insurance Company receives notice of such overpayment.

                                   SCHEDULE A

                              OPERATING PROCEDURES

     Unless otherwise defined below, all capitalized terms have the meanings
specified in the Amendment and the Participation Agreement, each of which this
Exhibit is a part.

          I. FUND/SERV AND NETWORKING PROCEDURES

     A. TRANSMITTAL OF PORTFOLIO INFORMATION. With respect to each Portfolio,
the Fund Agent will provide the Insurance Company or its agent, via the NSCC's
Mutual Fund Profile System, with (i) the net asset value per share of the
Portfolio (the "Share Price") on each Business Day, determined as of the time
specified in the Portfolio's prospectus ("Close of Trading"); (ii) dividend and
capital gains distribution information on ex-date; and (iii) in the case of
fixed income and money market Portfolios which declare dividends daily, the
daily accrual interest rate factor. The Fund Agent will use its best efforts to
communicate such information to the Insurance Company or its designee via the
NSCC's Mutual Fund Profile System by 7:00 p.m. Eastern Time each Business Day;
provided, however, that the Fund Agent reserves the right to communicate the
Share Price at a time later than 7:00 p.m. Eastern Time due to extraordinary or
unforeseen circumstances. Fund Agent shall notify Insurance Company in the event
that the Share Price information will be delayed and shall make available to
Insurance Company, a contact person that is able to answer questions and provide
information about the reason for the delay and when the information is expected
to be provided.

     B. TRANSMITTAL OF ORDERS. The Insurance Company agrees that, unless
otherwise agreed to in writing with the Fund Agent, orders for the purchase,
exchange or redemption of Fund shares ("Instructions") received by the Insurance
Company prior to the Close of Trading on any Business Day ("Day 1) will be
transmitted to the Fund Agent via Fund/SERV and accepted by Fund/SERV prior to
6:00 a.m. Eastern Time on the following Business Day ("Day 2") (such orders are
referred to as "Day 1 Trades"). Each transmission by the Insurance Company or
its designee of a purchase, exchange or redemption order relating to a Business
Day ("Order") will constitute a representation by the Insurance Company that
such Order was based on Instructions that the Insurance Company received and
accepted as being in good order prior to the Close of Trading on that Business
Day, and that the Order included all purchase, exchange and redemption
Instructions so received by the Insurance Company.

     In the event that Orders for any Business Day are not transmitted to the
Fund Agent via Fund/SERV and accepted by Fund/SERV prior to 6:00 a.m. Eastern
Time on Day 2, the Insurance Company or its designee shall transmit such Orders
to the Fund Agent in accordance with the Manual Procedures below. If such Orders
are not transmitted to the Fund Agent in accordance with the Manual Procedures,
the Fund Agent reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to reject, reverse or
re-price the Orders (notwithstanding that the Insurance Company may have
received Fund/Serv confirmation of the Orders) and the Insurance Company will be
responsible for reimbursement of any loss sustained by the Fund that may arise
out of the improper transmittal of such Orders.


                                       8


     All Orders transmitted to the Fund Agent via Fund/SERV will be communicated
in accordance with Fund/SERV rules, guidelines and procedures. The Insurance
Company acknowledges that certain cash flows may be known on or before a trade
date, and the Insurance Company agrees to use its reasonable efforts to notify
the Fund Agent of such cash flows before such trade date.

     C. FUND/SERV CONFIRMATION. The Fund Agent, has established one or more
master accounts on its mutual fund shareholder account recordkeeping system
(each, a "T/A Account") reflecting the aggregate ownership of shares of each
Portfolio of the Fund and all transactions involving such shares by the
Insurance Company on behalf of the Accounts. The Fund Agent will transmit a
confirmation via Fund/SERV that will set forth the number of Portfolio shares
purchased, exchanged and redeemed, the beginning and ending share balances, and
the net asset value per share.

     D. PRICING OF ORDERS. Day 1 Trades communicated to the Fund Agent as
provided under Section C of these Fund/SERV Procedures will be effected at the
Share Price for the applicable Portfolio on Day 1.

     E. SETTLEMENT. Day 1 Trades confirmed by the Fund Agent via Fund/SERV will
settle in U.S. dollars in accordance with the Fund's profile within Fund/SERV
applicable to the Insurance Company.

     F. DIVIDENDS AND OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS. The Fund Agent will furnish the
Company or its designee notice of any dividends or other distributions payable
on the shares of each Portfolio via Networking. Dividends and distributions with
respect to a Portfolio will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of
the Portfolio held by the T/A Account(s) and the Fund Agent will notify the
Company or its agent, via Networking, as to the number of shares so issued.

     G. ACTIVITY REPORTING AND VERIFICATION. The Fund Agent will transmit or
make available to the Insurance Company, via Networking (including DST Vision,
Advisor Central, websites, or other electronic means), a report containing any
transactions or other activity occurring in a T/A Account on a Business Day,
including any Fund/SERV transactions, and the share balance for each T/A Account
in accordance with Fund/SERV's Networking guidelines. The Insurance Company will
promptly review and verify this information and immediately advise the Fund
Agent in writing of any discrepancies between the Company's records and the
balance in the T/A Account(s).

If the Insurance Company chooses not to utilize Networking, the Fund Agent will
deliver to the Insurance Company a physical statement for the preceding calendar
month reflecting the shares of each Portfolio held by the T/A Account(s) as of
the end of such preceding month and all purchases, exchanges and redemptions by
the Insurance Company of shares of a Portfolio during such preceding month. The
Insurance Company will, immediately on receipt of any physical statement
concerning an Account, verify the information contained therein against the
information contained on the Insurance Company's record-keeping system and
immediately advise the Fund Agent in writing of any discrepancies between such
information.


                                       9


     The Fund Agent and the Insurance Company will cooperate to resolve any such
discrepancies as soon as reasonably practicable.

     H. PROCESSING ADJUSTMENTS. In the event of any error or delay with respect
to these Fund/SERV and Networking Procedures that is caused by the Fund Agent,
the Fund Agent will make any adjustments on its accounting system necessary to
correct such error or delay. The Insurance Company will make the corresponding
adjustments on its record-keeping system. The Insurance Company and the Fund
Agent will each provide the other with prompt notice of any errors or delays of
the type referred to in these Fund/SERV and Networking Procedures.

     I. FUND/SERV UNAVAILABILITY. If the Fund/SERV and Networking systems are
unavailable for any reason, or if it is otherwise impracticable to operate in
accordance with these Fund/SERV and Networking Procedures, transactions shall be
processed in accordance with the Manual Procedures outlined below.

          II. MANUAL PROCEDURES

     A. TRANSMITTAL OF PORTFOLIO INFORMATION. With respect to each Portfolio,
the Fund Agent will provide the Company with (i) the Share Price determined as
of the Close of Trading on each Business Day; (ii) dividend and capital gains
distribution information on ex-date,; and (iii) in the case of fixed income and
money market Portfolios which declare dividends daily, the daily accrual
interest rate factor. The Fund Agent will use its best efforts to communicate,
such information to the Company or its designee via facsimile or other method
agreed upon by the parties by 7:00 p.m. Eastern Time each Business Day; however,
the Fund Agent reserves the right to communicate the Share Price at a time later
than 7:00 p.m. Eastern Time due to extraordinary or unforeseen circumstances.
Fund Agent shall notify Insurance Company in the event that the Share Price
information will be delayed and shall make available to Insurance Company, a
contact person that is able to answer questions and provide information about
the reason for the delay and when the information is expected to be provided.

     B. TRANSMITTAL OF ORDERS. The Insurance Company agrees that, unless
otherwise agreed to in writing with the Fund Agent, Instructions received by the
Insurance Company prior to the Close of Trading on any Business Day ("Day 1")
will be transmitted to the Fund Agent by facsimile no later than 9:00 a.m.
Eastern Time on the following Business Day ("Day 2") (such Orders are referred
to as "Day 1 Trades"). Each transmission by the Insurance Company or its
designee of a purchase, exchange or redemption order relating to a Business Day
("Order") will constitute a representation by the Insurance Company that such
Order was based on Instructions that the Insurance Company received and accepted
as being in good order prior to the Close of Trading on that Business Day, and
that the Order included all purchase, exchange and redemption Instructions so
received by the Insurance Company.

     All Orders transmitted to the Fund Agent will be communicated in U.S.
dollars and will indicate the date of the transaction. On Business Days where
there are no Orders, or where the net dollar amount for purchases and
redemptions for an Account equals zero, the communication will so indicate. The
Insurance Company acknowledges that certain cash flows may be known on


                                       10


or before a trade date, and the Insurance Company agrees to use its reasonable
efforts to notify the Fund Agent of such cash flows before such trade date.

     C. CONFIRMATION. All Orders transmitted in accordance with Section B of
these Manual Procedures are subject to acceptance by the Fund Agent and shall
become effective only upon confirmation by the Fund Agent, which confirmation
shall be sent to the Company or its designee via mail.

     D. PRICING OF ORDERS. Day 1 Trades communicated to the Fund Agent by
9:00 a.m. Eastern Time on Day 2 will be effected at the Share Price for the
applicable Portfolio on Day 1.

     E. SETTLEMENT.

        1. PURCHASE ORDERS. In the case of Day 1 Trades that constitute a net
purchase (including exchanges) Order, the Insurance Company or its designee will
arrange for a federal funds wire transfer of the net purchase amount to a
custodial account designated by the Fund Agent by 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time on Day
2.

        2. REDEMPTION ORDERS. In the case of Day 1 Trades that constitute a net
redemption (including exchanges) Order, the Fund Agent will arrange for a
federal funds wire transfer of the net redemption amount to a bank account
designated by the Insurance Company on Day 2, in no instance later than the time
provided for in the applicable Portfolio's Prospectus.

        3. GENERALLY. Settlements will be in U.S. dollars. On any Business Day
when the Federal Reserve Wire Transfer System is closed, all communication and
processing rules will be suspended for the settlement of Orders. Orders will be
settled on the next Business Day on which the Federal Reserve Wire Transfer
System is open. Transactions that are the subject of such Orders will be
processed at the Share Price for the applicable Portfolio on the Business Day to
which the Orders originally relate.

     F. DIVIDENDS AND OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS. The Fund Agent will furnish the
Insurance Company or its designee written notice of any dividends or other
distributions payable on the shares of each Portfolio, via facsimile or other
method agreed upon by the parties. Dividends and distributions with respect to a
Portfolio will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Portfolio
held by the T/A Account(s) and the Fund Agent will notify the Insurance Company
or its designee as to the number of shares so issued.

     G. ACTIVITY REPORTING AND VERIFICATION. The Fund Agent will deliver to the
Insurance Company or its designee in writing, via facsimile or other method
agreed upon by the parties (e.g., DST Vision, Advisor Central, websites, or
other electronic means) a statement for the preceding calendar month reflecting
the shares of each Portfolio held by the T/A Account(s) as of the end of such
preceding month and all purchases, exchanges and redemptions by the Insurance
Company of shares of a Portfolio during such preceding month. The Insurance
Company will, immediately upon receipt of any statement concerning a T/A
Account, verify the information contained therein against the information
contained on the Insurance Company's record-keeping system and immediately
advise the Fund Agent, in writing, of any discrepancies between such
information. The Fund Agent and the Insurance Company will cooperate to resolve
any such discrepancies as soon as reasonably practicable.


                                       11


     H. PROCESSING ADJUSTMENTS. In the event of any error or delay with respect
to these Manual Procedures that is caused by the Fund Agent, the Fund Agent will
make any adjustments on its (or its transfer agent's) recordkeeping system
necessary to correct such error or delay. The Insurance Company will make the
corresponding adjustments on its record-keeping system. The Insurance Company
and the Fund Agent will each provide the other with prompt notice of any errors
or delays of the type referred to in these Manual Procedures.


                                       12
