SUPPLEMENTAL PAYMENT AGREEMENT
This Agreement is made effective April
24, 2009 by and between Kansas City Life Insurance Company (the
“Company”) and JPMorgan Investment Advisors Inc. (“JPMIA”) and X.X. Xxxxxx
Investment Management Inc. (“JPMIM”).
WHEREAS, the Company and
JPMorgan Insurance Trust (the “Trust”) have entered into a Fund Participation
Agreement (“Participation Agreement”) in order for certain separate accounts of
the Company (“Separate Accounts”) to purchase shares (“Shares”) of the
Portfolios of the Trust listed on Appendix A hereto (each, a “Portfolio”;
collectively, the “Portfolios”). The Portfolios will serve as
investment vehicles under variable annuity or life contracts ("Variable
Contracts”) offered by the Company.
WHEREAS, the Company performs
certain administrative and support services for the owners of its Variable
Contracts.
WHEREAS, JPMIA and JPMIM are
willing to pay the Company Supplemental Payments out of
their legitimate profits for administrative and other services, set
forth in Appendix B hereto, rendered by the Company;
NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, the
parties hereby agree as follows:
|
1.
|
JPMIA
or JPMIM as appropriate depending on the Portfolio or Portfolios involved,
recognize that the Company, on behalf of each of the Separate Accounts, is
the sole shareholder of shares of the Portfolios issued under the
Participation Agreement. JPMIA and JPMIM further recognize that the Trust
will derive a substantial administrative benefit by virtue of having the
Company, on behalf of each of the Separate Accounts, aggregate all
purchase and redemption orders from owners of the Variable Contracts, and
submit an omnibus order for each Account for the Portfolio shares issued
under the Participation Agreement rather than multiple shareholders having
record of ownership of such shares. In consideration of the savings
resulting from such arrangement, and to compensate the Company for its
costs, JPMIA and/or JPMIM agree to pay the Company Supplemental Payments
at the annual rate designated in Appendix A of the average daily net
assets of a Portfolio’s Shares owned beneficially by the Company’s
customers in the Variable Contracts listed on Appendix A from time to time
for which the Company provides services, which fee will be computed daily
and payable monthly. The parties agree that such payments are for
administrative services and investor support services, and do not
constitute payment for investment advisory, distribution or other
services. Payment of such amounts by JPMIA and/or JPMIM shall
not increase the fees paid by the Trust or its
shareholders.
|
|
2.
|
The
Company hereby represents and warrants that this Agreement and the receipt
of payments by the Company from JPMIA and/or JPMIM is legal and valid, and
does not violate any statute, regulation, rule, order or judgment binding
on the Company, or any agreement binding on the Company or affecting its
property. The Company further represents and warrants that it
has made all disclosures and obtained all consents required in order for
it to receive payments under this Agreement. The
representations and warranties set forth in this paragraph shall be made
both as of the date hereof and shall continue as long as payments are made
to the Company pursuant to this
Agreement.
|
|
3.
|
JPMIA
and JPMIM hereby represent and warrant that this Agreement and the receipt
of payments by the Company from JPMIA and JPMIM is legal and valid, and
does not violate any statute, regulation, rule, order or judgment binding
on JPMIA and JPMIM, or any agreement binding on JPMIA and JPMIM or
affecting their property. JPMIA and JPMIM further represent and
warrant that they have made all disclosures and obtained all consents
required in order for it to make payments under this
Agreement. The
|
1
representations
and warranties set forth in this paragraph shall be made both as of the date
hereof and shall continue as long as payments are made to the Company pursuant
to this Agreement.
|
4.
|
This
Agreement shall be governed and interpreted in accordance with the
internal laws of the State of New
York.
|
|
5.
|
This
Agreement may be terminated by either party without cause by giving the
other party at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of its
intention to terminate. This Agreement shall terminate
automatically upon the redemption of all of a Separate Account’s
investment in the Trust, upon the termination of the Trust’s obligation to
sell its shares under the Participation Agreement, or upon either party’s
receipt of notice from the other party that the representations and
warranties set forth in paragraph 2 or paragraph 3, as the case may be,
are no longer true or upon termination of the Participation
Agreement. This Agreement may be amended only by a written
instrument signed by both parties.
|
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this
Agreement has been executed effective as of the date set forth above by a duly
authorized officer of each party.
