Re: Marketing agreement dated November 15, 1996 (the "Marketing Agreement")
among First Providian Life and Health Insurance Company ("Company"), DFA
Investment Dimensions Group Inc. ("Fund"), Dimensional Fund Advisors Inc.
("Advisor"), and DFA Securities Inc. ("DFAS"), collectively the "Parties"
Dear Xxxxx:
Because of an oversight on the Company's part, the Marketing Agreement that the
Parties concluded in November 1996 failed to include the Schedule 1.1 referred
to in Section 1.1 of that Marketing Agreement. This schedule specifies the
variable annuity contract that is the subject of both the Marketing Agreement
and the participation agreement executed on the same date. Enclosed herewith is
a Schedule 1.1, which consists a copy of a Providian Advisor's Edge contract for
issue in New York state only. The Company hereby intends to amend the Marketing
Agreement so as to include the enclosed Schedule 1.1, effective retroactively to
the date of the Marketing Agreement. In all other respects, the Parties affirm
and ratify the terms, conditions, and covenants of the Marketing Agreement.
If the foregoing is acceptable to you, please acknowledge your receipt of this
Schedule 1.1 and your acceptance of the amendment set forth above by executing
and returning a copy of this Letter Agreement to the attention of Xx. Xxxx
Xxxxxx.
Sincerely,
/s/ Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx
Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx
