SUPPLEMENTAL PAYMENT AGREEMENT
SUPPLEMENTAL PAYMENT AGREEMENT
This Agreement is made effective August 1, 2005 by and between Pacific Life & Annuity Company (the “Company”) and JPMorgan Investment Advisors Corporation (“JPMIA”).
WHEREAS, the Company and JPMorgan Investment 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 as set forth in Appendix A to this Agreement.
WHEREAS, the Company performs certain administrative and support services for the owners of its Variable Contracts.
WHEREAS, JPMIA is willing to pay the Company Supplemental Payments out of JPMIA’s 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 recognizes that the Company is the sole shareholder for each Separate Account referenced in the Participation Agreement of shares of the Portfolios issued under the Participation Agreement. JPMIA further recognizes that the Trust will derive a substantial administrative benefit by virtue of having the Company, on behalf of the Separate Accounts, aggregate all purchase and redemption orders from owners of the Variable Contracts, and submit an omnibus order for each Separate Account for the Portfolio shares issued under the Participation Agreement rather than multiple shareholders having record ownership of such shares. In consideration of the savings resulting from such arrangement, and to compensate the Company for its costs, JPMIA agrees 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 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 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. | This Agreement shall be governed and interpreted in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Ohio. |
4. | 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 JPMIA’s receipt of notice from the Company that the representations and warranties set forth in paragraph 2 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.
