(1) With respect to the Mid-Cap Equity Portfolio, the expense information shown
    in the table above has been restated to reflect the current fees. Prior to
    December 31, 1999, the investment adviser, Morgan Stanley Dean Witter
    Advisors, Inc., assumed all expenses of the Portfolio and waived the
    compensation provided for the Portfolio in its management agreement with the
    Fund.

(2) With respect to the High Yield, Mid-Cap Value, Emerging Markets Debt,
    Emerging Markets Equity, Active International Allocation and Fixed Income
    Portfolios, the investment advisers have voluntarily agreed to waive their
    investment advisory fees and to reimburse certain expenses of the Portfolios
    if such fees would cause their respective "Total Fund Operating Expenses" to
    exceed certain limits. The expense ratios for the Active International
    Allocation Portfolio and Technology Portfolio are annualized. Including
    these reductions, it is estimated that "Management Fees", Other Expenses and
    "Total Fund Operating Expenses" for the Portfolios would have been as
    follows:

(3) With respect to the Strategic Stock Portfolio and the Enterprise Portfolio,
    the investment adviser, Van Kampen Asset Management, Inc. has voluntarily
    agreed to waive its investment advisory fees and to reimburse the Portfolios
    if such fees would cause their respective "Total Fund Operating Expenses" to
    exceed those set forth in the table above. Including in the aforementioned
    reductions, it is estimated that "Management Fees", "Other Expenses" and
    "Total Fund Operating Expenses" for the Portfolios would be:

(4) The Fund's Class 2 distribution plan or "Rule 12b-1 Plan" is described in
    the Fund's prospectus. While the maximum amount payable under the Fund's
    Class 2 Rule 12b-1 Plan is 0.35% per year of the Fund's average daily net
    assets, the Board of Trustees of Franklin Templeton Variable Insurance
    Products Trust has set the current rate at 0.25% per year through at least
    April 30, 2001.

(5) On February 8, 2000, a merger and reorganization was approved that combined
    the assets of the Franklin Small Cap Fund with a similar fund of the
    Templeton Variable Products Series Fund, effective May 1, 2000. On
    February 8, 2000, fund shareholders approved new management fees, which
    apply to the combined fund effective May 1, 2000. The table shows restated
    total expenses based on the new fees and assets of the fund as of
    December 31, 1999, and not the assets of the combined fund. However, if the
    table reflected both the new fees and the combined assets, the fund's
    expenses after May 1, 2000 would be estimated as: Management Fees 0.55%,
    Distribution and Service Fees 0.25%, Other Expenses 0.27%, and Total Fund
    Operating Expenses 1.07%.

(6) The management fees shown are based on the fund's maximum contractual
    amount. Other expenses are estimated. The manager and administrator have
    agreed in advance to waive or limit their respective fees and the manager to
    assume as its own expense certain expenses otherwise payable by the fund so
    that total annual fund operating expenses do not exceed 0.75% for the
    current fiscal year. After December 31, 2001, the manager and administrator
    may end this arrangement at any time. Without this reduction Total Fund
    Operating Expenses were:

(7) Each Series has an expense offset arrangement which reduces the series'
    custodian fee based upon the amount of cash maintained by the series with
    its custodian and dividend disbursing agent. Each series may enter into
    other such arrangements and directed brokerage arrangements, which would
    also have the effect of reducing the series' expenses. After these
    reductions, the Total Fund Operating Expenses would be:

(8) MFS has contractually agreed, subject to reimbursement, to bear expenses for
    these series such that each such series' "Other Expenses" (after taking into
    account the expense offset arrangement described above), do not exceed 0.15%
    of the average daily net assets of the series during the current fiscal
    year. These contractual fee arrangements will continue until at least
    May 1, 2001, unless changed with the consent of the board of trustees which
    oversees the series. Without this waiver, "Total Fund Operating Expenses"

(9) On February 8, 2000, a merger and reorganization was approved that combined
    the assets of the Templeton Variable Products Series Fund, effective May 1,
    2000. The table shows total expenses based on the fund's assets as of
    December 31, 1999, and not the assets of the combined fund. However, if the
    table reflected combined assets, the fund's expenses after May 1, 2000 would
    be estimated as: Management Fees 0.60%, Distribution and Service Fees 0.25%,
    Other Expenses 0.19%, and Total Fund Operating Expenses 1.04%.

(10) On February 8, 2000, shareholders approved a merger and a reorganization
    that combined the Developing Markets Securities Fund with the Templeton
    Developing Markets Equity Fund, effective May 1, 2000. The shareholders of
    the new fund had approved new management fees, which apply to the combined
    fund effective May 1, 2000. The table shows restated total expenses based on
    the new fees and the assets of the fund as of December 31, 1999, and not the
    assets of the combined fund. However, if the table reflected both the new
    fees and the combined assets, the fund's expenses after May 1, 2000 would be

(11) On February 8, 2000, a merger and a reorganization was approved that
    combined the Templeton Growth Securities Fund with a similar fund of
    Templeton Variable Products Series Fund, effective May 1, 2000. The table

(12) Under the Distribution Plan and Service Plan, the Portfolio may spend up to
    a total of 0.35% per year of the Portfolio's average daily net assets with
    respect to its Class II Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
    Portfolio's Board of Trustees currently limits the aggregate amount payable
    under the Distribution Plan and Service Plan to 0.25% per year of the

         Statutes ("CGS") provide that a corporation may provide indemnification
         of or advance expenses to a director, officer, employee or agent.
         Reference is hereby made to Section 33-771(e) of CGS regarding
         indemnification of directors and Section 33-776(d) of CGS regarding
         indemnification of officers, employees and agents of Connecticut
         corporations. These statutes provide, in general, that Connecticut
         corporations incorporated prior to January 1, 1997 shall, except to the
         extent that their certificate of incorporation expressly provides
         otherwise, indemnify their directors, officers, employees and agents
         against "liability" (defined as the obligation to pay a judgment,
         settlement, penalty, fine, including an excise tax assessed with
         respect to an employee benefit plan, or reasonable expenses incurred
         with respect to a proceeding) when (1) a determination is made pursuant
         to Section 33-775 that the party seeking indemnification has met the
         standard of conduct set forth in Section 33-771 or (2) a court has
         determined that indemnification is appropriate pursuant to Section
         33-774. Under Section 33-775, the determination of and the
         authorization for indemnification are made (a) by the disinterested
         directors, as defined in Section 33-770(3); (b) by special counsel; (c)
         by the shareholders; or (d) in the case of indemnification of an
         officer, agent or employee of the corporation, by the general counsel
         of the corporation or such other officer(s) as the board of directors
         may specify. Also, Section 33-772 provides that a corporation shall
         indemnify an individual who was wholly successful on the merits or
         otherwise against reasonable expenses incurred by him in connection
         with a proceeding to which he was a party because he was a director of
         the corporation. In the case of a proceeding by or in the right of the
         corporation or with respect to conduct for which the director, officer,
         agent or employee was adjudged liable on the basis that he received a
         financial benefit to which he was not entitled, indemnification is
         limited to reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the
         proceeding against the corporation to which the individual was named a
         party.

         Under the Depositor's bylaws, the Depositor must indemnify both
         directors and officers of the Depositor for (1) any claims and
         liabilities to which they become


<PAGE>

         subject by reason of being or having been directors or officers of the
         Depositor and (2) legal and other expenses incurred in defending
         against such claims, in each case, to the extent such is consistent
         with statutory provisions.

         Section 33-777 of CGS specifically authorizes a corporation to procure
         indemnification insurance on behalf of an individual who was a
         director, officer, employer or agent of the corporation. Consistent
         with the statute, the directors and officers of the Depositor and
         Hartford Securities Distribution Company, Inc. ("HSD") are covered
         under a directors and officers liability insurance policy issued to The
         Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

         Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
         Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
         persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or
         otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
         Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against
         public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
         In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
         (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid
         by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the
         successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by
         such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the
         securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion
         of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
         submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
         indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act
         and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
