Dear :
As you know, we have entered into a participation agreement among The Universal Institutional Funds, Inc. (the “Fund”), Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Distribution, Inc. (successor to Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Co. Incorporated), Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Investment Management Inc. and Columbus Life Insurance Company (the “Company”), dated March 15, 2003, as may be amended from time to time (the “Participation Agreement”), providing for the purchase by the Company of shares of certain series of the Fund (“Portfolios”) on behalf of its separate account(s) to fund certain variable life and annuity contracts (“Contracts”), each as specified in the Participation Agreement.
As consideration for various fund-related administrative services that the Company will provide in connection with the issuance of the Contracts (“Administrative Services”), we will pay to the Company, during the term of the Participation Agreement, an annual fee calculated pursuant to the following schedules based on the average daily net assets invested in Class II Shares of the following portfolios of the Fund offered under the Contracts identified in the Participation Agreement (excluding all assets invested during the guarantee (free look) periods available under the Contracts). We acknowledge that the Administrative Services to be provided by the Company (such as shareholder communication, record keeping and postage expenses) are ones for which we, or our affiliates, as investment adviser and administrator to the Fund, would otherwise bear the cost directly.
