Participation Agreement among Variable Insurance Products Fund, Variable Insurance Products Fund II, Variable Insurance Products Fund III, Fidelity Distributors Corporation (the “Underwriter”) and Insurance Company (the “Company”), dated April 1, 2001, as amended (the “Participation Agreement”) |
Dear Xx. X’Xxxxxxx:
The Company, the Underwriter and the above referenced Variable Insurance Products Funds (the
“Current Funds”) are parties to the above-referenced Participation Agreement. As explained in the
notice sent to you on May 3, 2007, Fidelity is in the process of reorganizing some of the
portfolios of the Current Funds (the “Affected Portfolios”) for administrative purposes. In
connection with this reorganization, the Affected Portfolios will be moved into corresponding
“shell” portfolios of a new Variable Insurance Products Fund V (“Fund V”). A list of all of the
Affected Portfolios covered by the reorganization and the corresponding Fund V portfolios is set
forth on the attached Exhibit.
In connection with this change, we are asking for your consent to (1) the amendment of the
Participation Agreement to add Fund V as a “Fund” party under the terms of the Participation
Agreement (the “Amendment”) and (2) the assignment of all of the Current Funds’ rights, benefits
and obligations under the Participation Agreement with respect to the Affected Portfolios to Fund
V, with respect to the corresponding portfolios of Fund V, and the release of the Current Funds
from the obligations so assigned (the “Assignment”). The Participation Agreement will remain in
full force and effect in accordance with its terms, as so amended and assigned herein.
Your signature below will indicate the Company’s consent to the Amendment and Assignment of the
Participation Agreement as set forth above, to become effective immediately upon consummation of
the reorganization.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. If for some reason we cannot obtain your
signature prior to the reorganization, and the Company submits orders or instructions under the
Fidelity Investments Institutional | 000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx | |||
Services Company, Inc. | Smithfield. R 02917 |
Participation Agreement thereafter, we will deem the Company to have consented to these
matters. Please do not hesitate to contact your Fidelity Relationship Manager or Key Account
Manager if you have any questions.
Very truly yours,
FIDELITY DISTRIBUTORS CORPORATION | ||||||
