Schedule A

I. For each Fund except VP Core Equity Fund and the VP Funds of Funds (VP Funds of Funds include: Variable Portfolio – Aggressive Portfolio, Variable Portfolio – Conservative Portfolio, Variable Portfolio – Moderate Portfolio, Variable Portfolio – Moderately Aggressive Portfolio and Variable Portfolio – Moderately Conservative Portfolio), the fee for services provided with respect to transfer agency and shareholder servicing shall be equal to 0.06% (6 basis points). The fee paid for transfer agency and shareholder servicing does not include any fees paid for distribution services.

To the extent RSLIC incurs any out-of-pocket expenses related to the Funds, as set forth below, RSLIC shall be reimbursed by CMISC monthly for the following out-of-pocket expenses (for each Fund except VP Core Equity Fund and the VP Funds of Funds):

•    typesetting, printing, paper, envelopes, imaging, mailroom services, postage and return postage for proxy soliciting material, and proxy tabulation costs

•    printing, paper, envelopes, imaging, mailroom services and postage for records of account, purchase confirmations, exchange confirmations and exchange prospectuses, redemption confirmations, redemption checks, and any other communication required to be sent to shareholders, contract owners and policy holders

•    typesetting, printing, paper, envelopes, imaging, mailroom services and postage for prospectuses, annual and semiannual reports, statements of additional information, supplements for prospectuses and statements of additional information and other required mailings to shareholders, contract owners and policy holders

•    other expenses incurred at the request or with the consent of the Fund

II. A. For all services provided to each Fund other than VP Funds of Funds by RSLIC for marketing and servicing support and, with respect to VP Core Equity Fund, transfer agency and shareholder servicing hereunder, CMIA will pay a fee to RSLIC. The fee will be calculated as follows:

1. The rate, to be used prospectively, will be calculated as soon as possible after year end. The rate will be calculated as follows, using actual data from the previous year:

a. Calculate the average daily net asset balance of the funds described in II(A) above;

b. Determine the total compensation paid to the investment manager by these funds;

c. Divide the total of the fees determined under II(A)(1)(b) of this Schedule A by the average daily fund balances determined under II(A)(1)(a) of this Schedule A to arrive at the effective investment manager fee in basis points;

d. Determine the total investment management costs, excluding subadvisory expenses, incurred by CMIA for these funds;

e. Take the result under II(A)(1)(d) of this Schedule A times a reasonable profit margin as determined by a review of asset management peer companies’ profit margins, economic conditions and consideration of internal hurdle rates;

f. Determine the total subadvisory expenses paid to third parties by CMIA for these funds;

g. Take the result under II(A)(1)(f) of this Schedule A times a reasonable profit margin as determined by a review of internal profit margins on subadvised funds;

h.    Add the results determined under II(A)(1)(e) and II(A)(1)(g);

i. Divide the result determined under II(A)(1)(h) of this Schedule A by the average daily fund balances determined under II(A)(1)(a) of this Schedule A to derive the total basis points of investment management expense;

j. Subtract the total basis points investment management expense determined under II(A)(1)(i) of this Schedule A from the effective investment manager fee in total basis points determined under II(A)(1)(c) of this Schedule A.

If the rate as calculated above is negative, the parties agree that it will be applied as if it were zero.

2. The fee transferred from CMIA to RSLIC each month will be calculated as follows:

a. At the end of each month, use the average daily net asset balance of the funds described in II(A) above during the month just ended;

b. Take the rate calculated in II(A)(1) of this Schedule A times the average daily net assets;

c. Divide the result by 12 to get the monthly fee to transfer from CMIA to RSLIC.

3. In the event that (i) an acquisition, disposition, merger, consolidation, asset purchase, asset sale or other transaction affecting the average daily net asset balance of the Funds (a “Transaction”) occurs during a calendar year (a “Current Year”) after the prospective rate for that year has been calculated in accordance with Section II(A)(1) of this Schedule A, then (ii) the prospective rate may be recalculated in accordance with Section II(A)(1), except that the recalculation will be based on actual Current Year data. A final adjustment will be recorded in the fourth quarter of each calendar year based on the difference between the estimated monthly fees paid by CMIA and the amount of fees actually owed to RSLIC based on application of the recalculated rate to actual year-to-date data.
