     (F) The Shares are offered and sold to separate accounts of the Insurers through which Contracts or Policies are issued as investment options under such Contracts and Policies.

     (i) Pursuant to this Agreement, the amount of compensation paid by GEID to Product Distributor in any fiscal year of the Company for both Sales Services and Investor Services shall not exceed % of the average daily net assets of a Fund attributable to Class 4 Shares supporting Contracts or Policies owned by customers of Product Distributor or Selling Broker-Dealers; provided, however, that the amount of any such compensation paid by GEID to Product Distributor in any fiscal year for the Personal Services component of Investor Services shall not exceed % of the average daily net assets of a Fund attributable to Class 4 Shares supporting Contracts or Policies owned by customers of Product Distributor or Selling Broker-Dealers.

     (ii) GEID and Product Distributor agree that, notwithstanding the foregoing, GEID shall adjust such compensation whenever necessary to ensure that no payment is made by the Company on behalf of Class 4 Shares of a Fund in excess of the applicable limits on: (A) sales charges under NASD Conduct Rule 2830(d)(3); or (B) service fees under NASD Conduct Rule 2830(d)(5).

In such an event, GEID shall have no obligation to pay any further compensation to Product Distributor for Sales Services or Investor Services provided by Product Distributor or Selling Broker-Dealers unless and until the Company pays GEID for such services.

5

     (c) Character of Compensation. GEID and Product Distributor agree that the compensation paid by GEID to Product Distributor described in Section 2(a) of this Agreement is either for Sales Services or for a combination of Sales Services and Investor Services, as those terms are defined in this Agreement. In particular, Product Distributor understands and acknowledges that the compensation paid to it by GEID is not to be used for activities primarily intended to result in the sale of Contracts and Policies unless such activities entail a sufficiently large element of promotion of the Funds and the Shares that the activities clearly come within the definition of Sales Services in this Agreement.

     (d) Selling Broker-Dealers. The Product Distributor agrees that it has sole responsibility for compensating Selling Broker-Dealers for their provision of Selling Services or Investor Services covered by this Agreement and that neither GEID, nor the Company, have any obligation to compensate Selling Broker-Dealers in any manner. Product Distributor shall not pay a Selling Broker-Dealer compensation for providing the Personal Services component of Investor Services under this Agreement in any fiscal year of the Company in excess of an amount equal to % of the average daily net assets of a Fund attributable to the Shares supporting Contracts or Policies owned by customers of that Selling Broker-Dealer.

3. General Covenants

Consequently, Product Distributor agrees that GEID, the Company, the Funds, and their agents and affiliates may rely conclusively on any purchase or redemption order for Shares received from an Insurer pursuant to a Participation Agreement.

     (c) Relationship to Participation Agreements. GEID and Product Distributor agree that the Participation Agreement between and among each Insurer, GEID, GEAM and the Company shall govern the purchase, exchange or redemption Shares by each Insurer for its separate accounts.
