AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT AMONG
VARIABLE INSURANCE PRODUCTS FUND
FIDELITY DISTRIBUTORS CORPORATION
and
CANADA LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF AMERICA
WHEREAS, CANADA LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF AMERICA (the "Company"),
VARIABLE INSURANCE PRODUCTS FUND (the "Fund") and FIDELITY DISTRIBUTORS
CORPORATION have previously entered into a Participation Agreement (the
"Agreement") containing certain arrangements concerning prospectus costs; and
WHEREAS, the Trustees of the Fund have approved certain changes to the
expense structure of the Fund; and
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties do hereby agree to amend the Agreement by
substituting the following arrangement in place of any inconsistent language in
the Participation Agreement, wherever found:
1. The Fund will provide to the Company each year, at the Fund's cost,
such number of prospectuses and Statements of Additional Information as are
actually distributed to the Company's then-existing variable life and/or
variable annuity contract owners.
2. If the Company takes camera-ready film or computer diskettes
containing the Fund's prospectus and/or Statement of Additional Information in
lieu of receiving hard copies of these documents, the Fund will reimburse the
Company in an amount computed as follows. The number of prospectuses and
Statements of Additional Information actually distributed to existing contract
owners by the Company will be multiplied by the Fund's actual per-unit cost of
printing the documents.
3. The Company agrees to provide the Fund or its designee with such
information as may be reasonably requested by the Fund in order to verify that
the prospectuses and Statements of Additional Information provided to the
Company, or the reimbursement made to the Company, are or have been used only
for the purposes set forth hereinabove.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF we have set our hand as of the 15th day of December,
1994.
