Waivers and Fee Reimbursements:

Dreyfus Basic GNMA Fund: During 1999, Dreyfus waived a portion of its fee so
that the effective management fee paid by the fund was 0.26%. This waiver
reflects an undertaking by Dreyfus to limit fund expenses, exclusive of taxes,
brokerage, interest on borrowings and extraordinary expenses, to 0.65%. This
undertaking may be terminated upon 90 days' notice to shareholders.

Evergreen Special Equity Fund: The Fund's investment advisor may reduce or waive
its fees or reimburse a fund for certain expenses in order to reduce expense
ratios. The Fund's investment advisor may cease these waivers or reimbursements
at any time. Including fee waivers and expense reimbursements and restating to
reflect current fees, estimated total fund operating expenses for the fiscal
year ending 6/30/2000 would be 1.31% for Class A shares.

Janus Adviser Worldwide Fund: Janus Capital has contractually agreed to waive
the Fund's total operating expenses (excluding brokerage commissions, interest,
taxes and extraordinary expenses) so that it will not exceed 1.20% until at
least July 31, 2003. Lou Holland Growth Fund: The Investment Manager has
contractually agreed to waive its fees and reimburse other expenses of the
Growth Fund to the extent that the Fund's total operating expenses exceed 1.35%.
This agreement may be terminated only by the Fund's Board of Trustees.

Sit Mid Cap Growth Fund: The Adviser voluntarily waived 0.25% of its fee. It may
terminate this fee waiver at any time after December 31, 2000.

Warburg Pincus Small Company Growth Fund: Fee waivers and expense reimbursements
or credits reduced expenses for the Fund during 1999 but may be discontinued at
any time.

Waivers and Fee Reimbursements:

Dreyfus Basic GNMA Fund: During 1999, Dreyfus waived a portion of its fee so
that the effective management fee paid by the fund was 0.26%. This waiver
reflects an undertaking by Dreyfus to limit fund expenses, exclusive of taxes,
brokerage, interest on borrowings and extraordinary expenses, to 0.65%. This
undertaking may be terminated upon 90 days' notice to shareholders.

Evergreen Special Equity Fund: The Fund's investment advisor may reduce or waive
its fees or reimburse a fund for certain expenses in order to reduce expense
ratios. The Fund's investment advisor may cease these waivers or reimbursements
at any time. Including fee waivers and expense reimbursements and restating to
reflect current fees, estimated total fund operating expenses for the fiscal
year ending 6/30/2000 would be 1.31% for Class A shares.

Janus Adviser Worldwide Fund: Janus Capital has contractually agreed to waive
the Fund's total operating expenses (excluding brokerage commissions, interest,
taxes and extraordinary expenses) so that it will not exceed 1.20% until at
least July 31, 2003.

Lou Holland Growth Fund: The Investment Manager has contractually agreed to
waive its fees and reimburse other expenses of the Growth Fund to the extent
that the Fund's total operating expenses exceed 1.35%. This agreement may be
terminated only by the Fund's Board of Trustees.

Sit Mid Cap Growth Fund: The Adviser voluntarily waived 0.25% of its fee. It may
terminate this fee waiver at any time after December 31, 2000.

Warburg Pincus Small Company Growth Fund: Fee waivers and expense reimbursements
or credits reduced expenses for the Fund during 1999 but may be discontinued at
any time.

Notes concerning the Fund Annual Expenses Table:

North American Fund Variable Product Series II: The management of the Funds
waived or reimbursed fees during the fiscal year shown. In the absence of these
waivers, management fees, other expenses and total annual portfolio operating
expenses, respectively would be: Core Bond Fund, 0.50%, 1.04% and 1.54%; High
Yield Bond Fund, 0.69%, 1.05% and 1.74%; International Growth Fund, 0.88%, 1.02%
and 1.90%; Large Cap Growth Fund, 0.52%, 0.92% and 1.44%; Large Cap Value Fund,
0.49%, 1.02% and 1.51%; Mid Cap Growth Fund, 0.63%, 1.01% and 1.64%; Mid Cap
Value Fund, 0.74%, 0.99% and 1.73%; Money Market Fund, 0.24%, 0.99% and 1.23%;
Small Cap Growth Fund, 0.81%, 0.97% and 1.78%; Small Cap Value Fund, 0.74%,
1.01% and 1.75%; Socially Responsible Fund, 0.25%, 0.98% and 1.23%; and
Strategic Bond Fund, 0.59%, 1.05% and 1.64%.

North American Fund Variable Product Series II: Total Combined Operating
Expenses based on estimated total average weighted combined operating expenses
for the Aggressive Growth Lifestyle Fund is 1.04%, Conservative Growth Lifestyle
Fund is 0.95%, and Moderate Growth Lifestyle Fund is 0.98%. Estimated Total
Combined Operating Expenses of each Lifestyle Fund is based on the Total Fund
Operating Expenses of the underlying funds and the Lifestyle Funds, assuming
each Lifestyle Fund's projected asset allocation among the underlying funds is
maintained.

Dreyfus Basic GNMA Fund: During 1999, Dreyfus waived a portion of its fee so
that the effective management fee paid by the fund was 0.26%. This waiver
reflects an undertaking by Dreyfus to limit fund expenses, exclusive of taxes,
brokerage, interest on borrowings and extraordinary expenses, to 0.65%. This
undertaking may be terminated upon 90 days' notice to shareholders.

Evergreen Special Equity Fund: The Fund's investment advisor may reduce or waive
its fees or reimburse a fund for certain expenses in order to reduce expense
ratios. The Fund's investment advisor may cease these waivers or reimbursements
at any time. Including fee waivers and expense reimbursements and restating to
reflect current fees, estimated total fund operating expenses for the fiscal
year ending 6/30/2000 would be 1.31% for Class A shares.

Janus Adviser Worldwide Fund: Janus Capital has contractually agreed to waive
the Fund's total operating expenses (excluding brokerage commissions, interest,
taxes and extraordinary expenses) so that it will not exceed 1.20% until at
least July 31, 2003.

Lou Holland Growth Fund: The Investment Manager has contractually agreed to
waive its fees and reimburse other expenses of the Growth Fund to the extent
that the Fund's total operating expenses exceed 1.35%. This agreement may be
terminated only by the Fund's Board of Trustees.

Sit Mid Cap Growth Fund: The Adviser voluntarily waived 0.25% of its fee. It may
terminate this fee waiver at any time after December 31, 2000.

Templeton Asset Strategy Fund: On February 8, 2000, shareholders of the
Templeton Asset Allocation Fund approved a merger and reorganization that
combined the Templeton Asset Allocation Fund with the Templeton Global Asset
Allocation Fund, effective May 1, 2000. At the same time as the merger, the
Templeton Asset Allocation Fund changed its name to the Templeton Asset Strategy
Fund. The table shows restated total expenses for the Templeton Asset Strategy
Fund based on the new fund fees and the assets of the Templeton Asset Allocation
Fund as of December 31, 1999, and not the assets of the combined fund. However,
if the table reflected both the new fund fees and the fund's combined assets,
the fund's expenses after May 1, 2000 would be estimated as: Management Fees
0.60%, Other Expenses 0.14%, and Annual Expenses 0.74%.

Vanguard: The Vanguard LifeStrategy Funds did not incur any expenses in fiscal
year 1999. However, while the funds are expected to operate without expenses,
shareholders in the Vanguard LifeStrategy Funds indirectly bear the expenses
of the underlying Vanguard Funds in which the Funds invest. The indirect
expense ratios that the Vanguard LifeStrategy Conservative Growth Fund,
Vanguard LifeStrategy Growth Fund, and Vanguard LifeStrategy Moderate Growth
Fund incurred for the year ended December 31, 1999 was 0.28%, 0.29% and
0.29%, respectively.

Warburg Pincus Small Company Growth Fund: Fee waivers and expense reimbursements
or credits reduced expenses for the Fund during 1999 but may be discontinued at
any time.

Notes concerning the Fund Annual Expenses Table:

North American Fund Variable Product Series II: The management of the Funds
waived or reimbursed fees during the fiscal year shown. In the absence of these
waivers, management fees, other expenses and total annual portfolio operating
expenses, respectively would be: Core Bond Fund, 0.50%, 1.04% and 1.54%; High
Yield Bond Fund, 0.69%, 1.05% and 1.74%; International Growth Fund, 0.88%, 1.02%
and 1.90%; Large Cap Growth Fund, 0.52%, 0.92% and 1.44%; Large Cap Value Fund,
0.49%, 1.02% and 1.51%; Mid Cap Growth Fund, 0.63%, 1.01% and 1.64%; Mid Cap
Value Fund, 0.74%, 0.99% and 1.73%; Money Market Fund, 0.24%, 0.99% and 1.23%;
Small Cap Growth Fund, 0.81%, 0.97% and 1.78%; Small Cap Value Fund, 0.74%,
1.01% and 1.75%; Socially Responsible Fund, 0.25%, 0.98% and 1.23%; and
Strategic Bond Fund, 0.59%, 1.05% and 1.64%.

North American Fund Variable Product Series II: Total Combined Operating
Expenses based on estimated total average weighted combined operating expenses
for the Aggressive Growth Lifestyle Fund is 1.04%, Conservative Growth Lifestyle
Fund is 0.95%, and Moderate Growth Lifestyle Fund is 0.98%. Estimated Total
Combined Operating Expenses of each Lifestyle Fund is based on the Total Fund
Operating Expenses of the underlying funds and the Lifestyle Funds, assuming
each Lifestyle Fund's projected asset allocation among the underlying funds is
maintained.

Dreyfus Basic GNMA Fund: During 1999, Dreyfus waived a portion of its fee so
that the effective management fee paid by the fund was 0.26%. This waiver
reflects an undertaking by Dreyfus to limit fund expenses, exclusive of taxes,
brokerage, interest on borrowings and extraordinary expenses, to 0.65%. This
undertaking may be terminated upon 90 days' notice to shareholders.

Evergreen Special Equity Fund: The Fund's investment advisor may reduce or waive
its fees or reimburse a fund for certain expenses in order to reduce expense
ratios. The Fund's investment advisor may cease these waivers or reimbursements
at any time. Including fee waivers and expense reimbursements and restating to
reflect current fees, estimated total fund operating expenses for the fiscal
year ending 6/30/2000 would be 1.31% for Class A shares.

Janus Adviser Worldwide Fund: Janus Capital has contractually agreed to waive
the Fund's total operating expenses (excluding brokerage commissions, interest,
taxes and extraordinary expenses) so that it will not exceed 1.20% until at
least July 31, 2003.

Lou Holland Growth Fund: The Investment Manager has contractually agreed to
waive its fees and reimburse other expenses of the Growth Fund to the extent
that the Fund's total operating expenses exceed 1.35%. This agreement may be
terminated only by the Fund's Board of Trustees.

Sit Mid Cap Growth Fund: The Adviser voluntarily waived 0.25% of its fee. It may
terminate this fee waiver at any time after December 31, 2000.

Templeton Asset Strategy Fund: On February 8, 2000, shareholders of the
Templeton Asset Allocation Fund approved a merger and reorganization that
combined the Templeton Asset Allocation Fund with the Templeton Global Asset
Allocation Fund, effective May 1, 2000. At the same time as the merger, the
Templeton Asset Allocation Fund changed its name to the Templeton Asset Strategy
Fund. The table shows restated total expenses for the Templeton Asset Strategy
Fund based on the new fund fees and the assets of the Templeton Asset Allocation
Fund as of December 31, 1999, and not the assets of the combined fund. However,
if the table reflected both the new fund fees and the fund's combined assets,
the fund's expenses after May 1, 2000 would be estimated as: Management Fees
0.60%, Other Expenses 0.14%, and Annual Expenses 0.74%.

Vanguard:The Vanguard LifeStrategy Funds did not incur any expenses in fiscal
year 1999. However, while the Funds are expected to operate without expenses,
shareholders in the Vanguard LifeStrategy Funds indirectly bear the expenses of
the underlying Vanguard Funds in which the Funds invest. The indirect expense
ratios that the Vanguard LifeStrategy Conservative Growth Fund, Vanguard
LifeStrategy Growth Fund, and Vanguard LifeStrategy Moderate Growth Fund
incurred for the year ended December 31, 1999 was 0.28%, 0.29% and 0.29%,
respectively.

Warburg Pincus Small Company Growth Fund: Fee waivers and expense reimbursements
or credits reduced expenses for the Fund during 1999 but may be discontinued at
any time.

Notes concerning the Fund Annual Expenses Table:

North American Fund Variable Product Series II: The management of the Funds
waived or reimbursed fees during the fiscal year shown. In the absence of these
waivers, management fees, other expenses and total annual portfolio operating
expenses, respectively would be: Core Bond Fund, 0.50%, 1.04% and 1.54%; High
Yield Bond Fund, 0.69%, 1.05% and 1.74%; International Growth Fund, 0.88%, 1.02%
and 1.90%; Large Cap Growth Fund, 0.52%, 0.92% and 1.44%; Large Cap Value Fund,
0.49%, 1.02% and 1.51%; Mid Cap Growth Fund, 0.63%, 1.01% and 1.64%; Mid Cap
Value Fund, 0.74%, 0.99% and 1.73%; Money Market Fund, 0.24%, 0.99% and 1.23%;
Small Cap Growth Fund, 0.81%, 0.97% and 1.78%; Small Cap Value Fund, 0.74%,
1.01% and 1.75%; Socially Responsible Fund, 0.25%, 0.98% and 1.23%; and
Strategic Bond Fund, 0.59%, 1.05% and 1.64%.

North American Fund Variable Product Series II: Total Combined Operating
Expenses based on estimated total average weighted combined operating expenses
for the Aggressive Growth Lifestyle Fund is 1.04%, Conservative Growth Lifestyle
Fund is 0.95%, and Moderate Growth Lifestyle Fund is 0.98%. Estimated Total
Combined Operating Expenses of each Lifestyle Fund is based on the Total Fund
Operating Expenses of the underlying funds and the Lifestyle Funds, assuming
each Lifestyle Fund's projected asset allocation among the underlying funds is
maintained.

Dreyfus Basic GNMA Fund: During 1999, Dreyfus waived a portion of its fee so
that the effective management fee paid by the fund was 0.26%. This waiver
reflects an undertaking by Dreyfus to limit fund expenses, exclusive of taxes,
brokerage, interest on borrowings and extraordinary expenses, to 0.65%. This
undertaking may be terminated upon 90 days' notice to shareholders.

Evergreen Special Equity Fund: The Fund's investment advisor may reduce or waive
its fees or reimburse a fund for certain expenses in order to reduce expense
ratios. The Fund's investment advisor may cease these waivers or reimbursements
at any time. Including fee waivers and expense reimbursements and restating to
reflect current fees, estimated total fund operating expenses for the fiscal
year ending 6/30/2000 would be 1.31% for Class A shares. Janus Adviser Worldwide
Fund: Janus Capital has contractually agreed to waive the Fund's total operating
expenses (excluding brokerage commissions, interest, taxes and extraordinary
expenses) so that it will not exceed 1.20% until at least July 31, 2003.

Lou Holland Growth Fund: The Investment Manager has contractually agreed to
waive its fees and reimburse other expenses of the Growth Fund to the extent
that the Fund's total operating expenses exceed 1.35%. This agreement may be
terminated only by the Fund's Board of Trustees. Sit Mid Cap Growth Fund: The
Adviser voluntarily waived 0.25% of its fee. It may terminate this fee waiver at
any time after December 31, 2000.

Templeton Asset Strategy Fund: On February 8, 2000, shareholders of the
Templeton Asset Allocation Fund approved a merger and reorganization that
combined the Templeton Asset Allocation Fund with the Templeton Global Asset
Allocation Fund, effective May 1, 2000. At the same time as the merger, the
Templeton Asset Allocation Fund changed its name to the Templeton Asset Strategy
Fund. The table shows restated total expenses for the Templeton Asset Strategy
Fund based on the new fund fees and the assets of the Templeton Asset Allocation
Fund as of December 31, 1999, and not the assets of the combined fund. However,
if the table reflected both the new fund fees and the fund's combined assets,
the fund's expenses after May 1, 2000 would be estimated as: Management Fees
0.60%, Other Expenses 0.14%, and Annual Expenses 0.74%.

Vanguard: The Vanguard LifeStrategy Funds did not incur any expenses in fiscal
year 1999. However, while the Funds are expected to operate without expenses,
shareholders in the Vanguard LifeStrategy Funds indirectly bear the expenses of
the underlying Vanguard Funds in which the Funds invest. The indirect expense
ratios that the Vanguard LifeStrategy Conservative Growth Fund, Vanguard
LifeStrategy Growth Fund, and Vanguard LifeStrategy Moderate Growth Fund
incurred for the year ended December 31, 1999 was 0.28%, 0.29% and 0.29%,
respectively.

Warburg Pincus Small Company Growth Fund: Fee waivers and expense reimbursements
or credits reduced expenses for the Fund during 1999 but may be discontinued at
any time.

Notes concerning the Fund Annual Expenses Table:

North American Fund Variable Product Series II: The management of the Funds
waived or reimbursed fees during the fiscal year shown. In the absence of these
waivers, management fees, other expenses and total annual portfolio operating
expenses, respectively would be: Core Bond Fund, 0.50%, 1.04% and 1.54%; High
Yield Bond Fund, 0.69%, 1.05% and 1.74%; International Growth Fund, 0.88%, 1.02%
and 1.90%; Large Cap Growth Fund, 0.52%, 0.92% and 1.44%; Large Cap Value Fund,
0.49%, 1.02% and 1.51%; Mid Cap Growth Fund, 0.63%, 1.01% and 1.64%; Mid Cap
Value Fund, 0.74%, 0.99% and 1.73%; Money Market Fund, 0.24%, 0.99% and 1.23%;

Growth Fund, 0.81%, 0.97% and 1.78%; Small Cap Value Fund, 0.74%, 1.01% and
1.75%; Socially Responsible Fund, 0.25%, 0.98% and 1.23%; and Strategic Bond
Fund, 0.59%, 1.05% and 1.64%.

North American Fund Variable Product Series II: Total Combined Operating
Expenses based on estimated total average weighted combined operating expenses
for the Aggressive Growth Lifestyle Fund is 1.04%, Conservative Growth Lifestyle
Fund is 0.95%, and Moderate Growth Lifestyle Fund is 0.98%. Estimated Total
Combined Operating Expenses of each Lifestyle Fund is based on the Total Fund
Operating Expenses of the underlying funds and the Lifestyle Funds, assuming
each Lifestyle Fund's projected asset allocation among the underlying funds is
maintained.

Dreyfus Basic GNMA Fund: During 1999, Dreyfus waived a portion of its fee so
that the effective management fee paid by the fund was 0.26%. This waiver
reflects an undertaking by Dreyfus to limit fund expenses, exclusive of taxes,
brokerage, interest on borrowings and extraordinary expenses, to 0.65%. This
undertaking may be terminated upon 90 days' notice to shareholders.

Evergreen Special Equity Fund: The Fund's investment advisor may reduce or waive
its fees or reimburse a fund for certain expenses in order to reduce expense
ratios. The Fund's investment advisor may cease these waivers or reimbursements
at any time. Including fee waivers and expense reimbursements and restating to
reflect current fees, estimated total fund operating expenses for the fiscal
year ending 6/30/2000 would be 1.31% for Class A shares.

Janus Adviser Worldwide Fund: Janus Capital has contractually agreed to waive
the Fund's total operating expenses (excluding brokerage commissions, interest,
taxes and extraordinary expenses) so that it will not exceed 1.20% until at
least July 31, 2003.

Lou Holland Growth Fund: The Investment Manager has contractually agreed to
waive its fees and reimburse other expenses of the Growth Fund to the extent
that the Fund's total operating expenses exceed 1.35%. This agreement may be
terminated only by the Fund's Board of Trustees.

Sit Mid Cap Growth Fund: The Adviser voluntarily waived 0.25% of its fee. It may
terminate this fee waiver at any time after December 31, 2000.

Templeton Asset Strategy Fund: On February 8, 2000, shareholders of the
Templeton Asset Allocation Fund approved a merger and reorganization that
combined the Templeton Asset Allocation Fund with the Templeton Global Asset
Allocation Fund, effective May 1, 2000. At the same time as the merger, the
Templeton Asset Allocation Fund changed its name to the Templeton Asset Strategy
Fund. The table shows restated total expenses for the Templeton Asset Strategy
Fund based on the new fund fees and the assets of the Templeton Asset Allocation
Fund as of December 31, 1999, and not the assets of the combined fund. However,
if the table reflected both the new fund fees and the fund's combined assets,
the fund's expenses after May 1, 2000 would be estimated as: Management Fees
0.60%, Other Expenses 0.14%, and Annual Expenses 0.74%.

Vanguard: The Vanguard LifeStrategy Funds did not incur any expenses in fiscal
year 1999. However, while the Funds are expected to operate without expenses,
shareholders in the Vanguard LifeStrategy Funds indirectly bear the expenses of
the underlying Vanguard Funds in which the Funds invest. The indirect expense
ratios that the Vanguard LifeStrategy Conservative Growth Fund, Vanguard
LifeStrategy Growth Fund, and Vanguard LifeStrategy Moderate Growth Fund
incurred for the year ended December 31, 1999 was 0.28%, 0.29% and 0.29%,
respectively.

Warburg Pincus Small Company Growth Fund: Fee waivers and expense reimbursements
or credits reduced expenses for the Fund during 1999 but may be discontinued at
any time.

ITEM 28. INDEMNIFICATION

     Set forth below is a summary of the general effect of applicable provisions
of the Depositor's Bylaws regarding indemnification of, and advancement of legal
expenses to, the Depositor's officers, directors and employees (collectively,
"Indemnitees").

     The Depositor shall indemnify any Indemnitee who was or is a named
defendant or respondent or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened,
pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative, arbitrative, or investigative (including any action by or in the
right of the Depositor), or any appeal of such action, suit or proceeding and
any inquiry or investigation that could lead to such an action, suit or
proceeding, by reason of the fact that the Indemnitee is or was a director, or
officer or employee of the Depositor, or is or was serving at the request of the
Depositor as a director, officer, partner, venturer, proprietor, trustee,
employee, or similar functionary of another foreign or domestic corporation or
nonprofit corporation, partnership, joint venture, sole proprietorship, trust,
employee benefit plan or other enterprise, against judgments, penalties
(including excise and similar taxes), fines, amounts paid in settlement, and
reasonable expenses (including court costs and attorneys' fees) actually
incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, if
Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed, (i) in
the case of conduct in his official capacity as a director of the Depositor, to
be in the best interests of the Depositor and (ii) in all other cases, to be not
opposed to the best interests of the Depositor; and, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, if Indemnitee had no reasonable cause to believe
his conduct was unlawful; provided, however that in the case of any threatened,
pending or completed action, suit or proceeding by or in the right of the
Depositor, the indemnity shall be limited to reasonable expenses (including
court costs and attorneys' fees) actually incurred in connection with such
action, suit or proceeding; and no indemnification shall be made in respect of
any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to
be liable to the Depositor or liable on the basis that personal benefit was
improperly received by him, whether or not the benefit resulted from an action
taken in the person's official capacity as a director or officer. The
termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, or
conviction, or on a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not, of
itself, create a presumption that the Indemnitee did not act in good faith and
in a manner which Indemnitee reasonably



                                       C-14
<PAGE>   87

believed to be in the best interests of the Depositor; and, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, shall not create a presumption that the person
had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

     Where an Indemnitee of the Depositor or other person entitled to indemnity
hereunder has been wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in defense of
any such action, suit or proceeding, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against
reasonable expenses (including court costs and attorneys' fees) actually
incurred by him in connection therewith.

     Any indemnification (unless otherwise ordered by a court of competent
jurisdiction) shall be made by the Depositor only as authorized in a specific
case upon a determination that the applicable standard of conduct has been met.
Such determination shall be made (i) by the Board of Directors by a majority
vote of a quorum consisting of directors who at the time of the vote have not
been named as defendants or respondents in such action, suit or proceeding, or
(ii) if such a quorum cannot be obtained, by a majority vote of a committee of
the Board of Directors, designated to act in the matter by a majority vote of
all directors, consisting solely of two or more directors who at the time of the
vote are not named defendants or respondents in such action, suit or proceeding,
or (iii) by special legal counsel selected by the Board of Directors (or a
committee thereof) by vote in the manner set forth in subparagraphs (i) and (ii)
immediately above or if such a quorum cannot be obtained and such a committee
cannot be established, by a majority vote of all directors, or (iv) by the
shareholders in a vote that excludes the shares held by any Indemnitee who is
named as a defendant or respondent in such action, suit or proceeding.

     Reasonable expenses incurred by an Indemnitee of the Depositor or other
person entitled to indemnity hereunder, who was, is or is threatened to be made
a named defendant or respondent in any such action, suit or proceeding described
above may be paid by the Depositor in advance of the final disposition thereof
upon (i) receipt of a written affirmation by the Indemnitee of his good faith
belief that he has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification
under this article and a written undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee
to repay such amount unless it shall ultimately be determined that he is
entitled to be indemnified by the Depositor as authorized under this article and
(ii) a determination that the facts then known to those making the determination
would not preclude indemnification under this article.

     Notwithstanding any other provision of this article, the Depositor may pay
or reimburse expenses incurred by any Indemnitee of the Depositor or any other
person entitled to indemnity hereunder in connection with his appearance as a
witness or other participation in any action, suit or a proceeding described
above at a time when he is not named defendant or respondent in such action,
suit or proceeding.

     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the Registrant, as provided above or otherwise, the Registrant has
been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification by the Depositor is against public policy, as expressed in the
Act, and therefore may be unenforceable. In the event (a) that a claim for such
indemnification (except insofar as it provides for the payment by the Depositor
of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted against the
Depositor by such director, officer or controlling person; and (b) the
Securities and Exchange Commission is still of the same opinion that the
Depositor or Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit such cause to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction, the question of whether such indemnification by the
Depositor is against public policy as expressed in the Act will be governed by
the final adjudication of such issue.

following undertakings:

          1. To file a post-effective amendment to this registration statement
     as frequently as necessary to ensure that the audited financial statements
     in the registration statement are never more than 16 months old for so long
     as payments under the variable annuity contracts may be accepted;

<PAGE>   90
     b. The Company hereby represents that the fees and charges deducted under
the contract, in the aggregate, are reasonable in relation to the services
rendered, the expenses expected to be incurred and the risks assumed by the
Company.

     c. Additional Commitments

     The Tax Reform Act of 1986 added to the Internal Revenue Code a new Section
403(b)(11) which applies to tax years beginning after December 31, 1988. This
paragraph provides that withdrawal restrictions apply to contributions made and
interest earned subsequent to December 31, 1988. Such restrictions require that
distributions not begin before age 59 1/2, separation from service, death,
disability, or hardship (only employee contributions without accrued interest
may be withdrawn in case of hardship). These withdrawal restrictions appear in
the Section "Federal Tax Matters" in either the Prospectus or the Statement of
Additional Information for Contracts of this Registration Statement.

     The Company relies on a no-action letter issued by the Securities and
Exchange Commission on November 28, 1988 stating that no enforcement action
would be taken under sections 22(e), 27(c)(1), or 27(d) of the Investment
Company Act of 1940 (the "Act") if, in effect, the Company permits restrictions
on cash distributions from elective contributions to the extent necessary to
comply with Section 403(b)(11) of the Internal Revenue Code in accordance with
the following conditions:

          (1) Include appropriate disclosure regarding the redemption
     restrictions imposed by Section 403(b)(11) in each registration statement,
     including the prospectus, used in connection with the offer of the
     Contract;

          (2) Include appropriate disclosure regarding the redemption
     restrictions imposed by Section 403(b)(11) in any sales literature used in
     connection with the offer of the Contract;

          (3) Instruct sales representatives who solicit participants to
     purchase the Contract specifically to being the redemption restrictions
     imposed by Section 403(b)(11) to the attention of the potential
     participants;

          (4) Obtain from each plan participant who purchases a Section 403(b)
     annuity Contract, prior to or at the time of such purchase, a signed
     statement acknowledging the participant's understanding of (1) the
     restrictions on redemption imposed by Section 403(b)(11), and (2) the
     investment alternatives available under the employer's Section 403(b)
     arrangement, to which the participant may elect to transfer his contract
     value.

     The Company has complied, and is complying, with the provisions of
paragraphs (1)-(4) above.

     The Company relies on Rule 6c-7 of the Act which states that a registered
separate account, and any depositor of or underwriter for such account, shall be
exempt from the provisions of sections 22(e), 27(c)(1) and 27(d) of the Act with
respect to this Contract participating in this account to the extent necessary
to permit compliance with the Texas Optional Retirement Program (Program) in
accordance with the following conditions:

          (a) include appropriate disclosure regarding the restrictions on
     redemption imposed by the Program in each registration statement, including
     the prospectus, used in connection with the Program;

          (b) include appropriate disclosure regarding the restrictions on
     redemption imposed by the Program in any sales literature used in
     connection with the offer of this Contract to Program participants;

          (c) instruct salespeople who solicit Program participants to purchase
     this Contract specifically to bring the restrictions on redemption imposed
     by the Program to the attention of potential Program participants;

          (d) obtain from each Program participant who purchases this Contract
     in connection with the Program, prior to or at the time of such purchase, a
     signed statement acknowledging the restrictions on redemption imposed by
     the Program.

<PAGE>   91
     The Company has complied, and is complying, with the provisions of
paragraphs (a)-(d) above.

     The Company relies on an order issued by the Securities and Exchange
Commission on May 19, 1993 exempting it from the provisions of section 22(e),
27(c)(1) and 27(d) of the Act with respect to this Contract participating in
this account to the extent necessary to permit compliance with the Optional
Retirement Program of the State University System of Florida ("Florida ORP") as
administered by the Division of Retirement of the Florida Department of
Management Services ("Division") in accordance with the following conditions:

          (a) include appropriate disclosure regarding the restrictions on
     redemption imposed by the Division in each registration statement,
     including the prospectus, relating to the Contracts issued in connection
     with the Florida ORP;

          (b) include appropriate disclosure regarding the restrictions on
     redemption imposed by the Division in any sales literature used in
     connection with the offer of Contracts to Eligible Employees;

          (c) instruct salespeople who solicit Eligible Employees to purchase
     the Contracts specifically to bring the restrictions on redemption imposed
     by the Division to the attention of the Eligible Employees;

          (d) obtain from each Participant in the Florida ORP who purchases a
     Contract, prior to or at the time of such purchase, a signed statement
     acknowledging the Participant's understanding: (i) of the restrictions on
     redemption imposed by the Division, and (ii) that other investment
     alternatives are available under the Florida ORP, to which the Participant
     may elect to transfer his or her Contract values.

     The Company has complied, and is complying, with the provisions of
paragraphs (a)-(d) above.
