         *  Operating expenses are annualized.  12b-1 fees include distribution and service fees.

  ** Other Expenses include  administration  fees. The fund's  administrator has contractually  agreed to waive or limit its fee and to
   assume as its own expense  certain  expenses of the Fund so that common annual Fund operating  expenses (i.e., a combination of fund
   administration  fees and other  expenses,  but  excluding  Rule 12b-1 fees and acquired  fund fees and expenses) do not exceed 0.10%
   (other than certain non-routine expenses and costs,  including those related to litigation,  indemnification,  reorganizations,  and
   liquidations)  until April 30, 2010. Without including the effect of this  waiver/limitation,  Total Annual Portfolio Expenses would
   be 1.13%.  The Fund does not pay management fees but will indirectly bear its  proportionate  share of any management fees and other
   expenses paid by the underlying  funds (or "acquired  funds") in which it invests.  Acquired funds'  estimated fees and expenses are
   based on acquired funds' expenses for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.

   *** Fund shares are held by a limited number of insurers,  and, when applicable,  by Funds of Funds.  Substantial withdrawals by one
   or more insurers or Funds of Funds could reduce Fund assets, causing total Fund expenses to become higher.
