PIMCO SERVICES AGREEMENT
FOR INSTITUTIONAL CLASS SHARES
OF PIMCO VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST
The terms and conditions of this Services Agreement between Pacific
Investment Management Company LLC ("PIMCO") and CUNA Mutual Insurance Society
(the "Company") are effective as of December 18, 2008.
WHEREAS, the Company, Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC and PIMCO
Variable Insurance Trust (the "Trust") have entered into a Fund Participation
Agreement dated May 1, 2008, as may be amended from time to time (the
"Participation Agreement"), pursuant to which the Company, on behalf of certain
of its separate accounts (the "Separate Accounts"), purchases Institutional
Class shares ("Shares") of certain Portfolios of the Trust ("Portfolios") to
serve as an investment vehicle under certain variable annuity and/or variable
life insurance contracts ("Variable Contracts") offered by the Company, which
Portfolios may be one of several investment options available under the Variable
Contracts; and
WHEREAS, PIMCO recognizes that it will derive substantial savings in
administrative expenses by virtue of having a sole shareholder rather than
multiple shareholders in connection with each Separate Account's investments in
the Portfolios, and that in the course of soliciting applications for Variable
Contracts issued by the Company and in servicing owners of such Variable
Contracts, the Company will provide information about the Trust and its
Portfolios from time to time, answer questions concerning the Trust and its
Portfolios, including questions respecting Variable Contract owners' interests
in one or more Portfolios, and provide services respecting investments in the
Portfolios; and
WHEREAS, PIMCO wishes to compensate the Company for the efforts of the
Company in providing written and oral information and services regarding the
Trust to Variable Contract owners; and
WHEREAS, the following represents the collective intention and
understanding of the service fee agreement between PIMCO and the Company.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of their mutual promises, the Company and
PIMCO agree as follows:
1. Services. The Company and/or its affiliates agree to provide services
("Services") to owners of Variable Contracts including, but not limited to:
teleservicing support in connection with the Portfolios; delivery of current
Trust prospectuses (including summary prospectuses, as applicable), reports,
notices, proxies and proxy statements and other informational materials
(including printing and mailing charges); facilitation of the tabulation of
Variable Contract owners' votes in the event of a Trust shareholder vote;
maintenance of Variable Contract records reflecting Shares purchased and
redeemed and Share balances, and the conveyance of that information to the Trust
or PIMCO as may be reasonably requested; provision of support services,
including providing information about the Trust and its Portfolios and answering
questions concerning the Trust and its Portfolios, including questions
respecting Variable Contract owners' interests in one or more Portfolios;
provision and administration of Variable Contract features for the benefit of
Variable Contract owners in connection with the Portfolios, which may include
fund transfers, dollar cost averaging, asset allocation, portfolio rebalancing,
earnings sweep, and pre-authorized deposits and withdrawals; and provision of
other services as may be agreed upon from time to time; provided, however, that
such services shall not include distribution or other services that may not
properly be provided by Company under applicable law or regulation.
2. Compensation. In consideration of the Services, PIMCO agrees to pay to
the Company a service fee at an annual rate equal to ten (10) basis points
(0.10%) of the average daily value of the Shares held in the Separate Accounts.
Such payments will be made monthly in arrears. For purposes of computing the
payment to the Company under this paragraph 2, the average daily value of Shares
held in the Separate Accounts over a monthly period shall be computed by
totaling such Separate Accounts' aggregate investment (Share net asset value
multiplied by total number of Shares held by such Separate Accounts) on each
business day during the calendar month, and dividing by the total number of
business days during such month. The payment to the Company under this
paragraph 2 shall be calculated by PIMCO at the end of each calendar month and
will be paid to the Company within 30 days thereafter. Payment will be
accompanied by a statement showing the calculation of the monthly amounts
payable by PIMCO and such other supporting data as may be reasonably requested
by the Company.
3. Term. This Services Agreement shall remain in full force and effect for
an initial term of one year, and shall automatically renew for successive one
year periods. This Services Agreement may be terminated by either party hereto
upon 30 days written notice to the other. This Services Agreement shall
terminate automatically upon termination of the Participation Agreement, upon a
material, unremedied breach of the Participation Agreement, as to a Portfolio
upon termination of the investment advisory agreement between the Trust, on
behalf of such Portfolio, and PIMCO, or upon assignment of the Participation
Agreement by either the Company or PIMCO. Notwithstanding the termination of
this Services Agreement, PIMCO will continue to pay the service fees in
accordance with paragraph 2 so long as net assets of the Separate Accounts
remain in a Portfolio, provided such continued payment is permitted in
accordance with applicable law and regulation.
4. Amendment. This Services Agreement may be amended in writing with the
consent of both parties. In this regard, this Agreement may be amended by PIMCO
(but not by the Company) any time by mailing a copy of a written amendment to
the Company. In the absence of written objection to such amendment, continued
performance by the Company under this Agreement shall constitute Company's
consent to such written amendment.
5. Effect on Other Terms, Obligations and Covenants. Nothing herein shall
amend, modify or supersede any contractual terms, obligations or covenants among
or between any of the Company, PIMCO or the Trust previously or currently in
effect, including those contractual terms, obligations or covenants contained in
the Participation Agreement.
