* This Portfolio has been designated a "multi-adviser portfolio" and Alliance
receives a fee based on a discrete portion of the Portfolio's assets that have
been allocated to it by the Manager, which is referred to as an "Allocated
Portion"
** Other Allocated Portions are other registered investment companies (or series
or portions thereof) that are managed by the Manager and advised by the Adviser,
which are classified as "Special Equity Portfolios," "General Equity
Portfolios," "Large Cap Portfolios," or "Money Market Portfolios"
*** The daily advisory fee for the Related Portfolios is calculated by
multiplying the aggregate net assets of the Related Portfolios at the close of
the immediately preceding business day by the Annual Advisory Fee Rate
calculated as set forth above and then dividing the result by the number of days
in the year. The daily fee applicable to each Portfolio or Allocated Portion is
the portion of the daily advisory fee for the Related Portfolios that is equal
to the Portfolio's or Allocated Portion's net assets relative to the aggregate
net assets of the Related Portfolios, including the Portfolio or the Allocated
Portion, used in the fee calculation for that day
