Security Procedures - Web Services

1. ID / Password Requirements

Initial authentication of a Shareholder in FAN is accomplished with account number and Social Security Number (SSN) and is used to issue a personal identification number (PIN) to the Shareholder.

Thereafter, Shareholder authentication may be accomplished by any of the three following methods, determined by the FAN Options selected by Client:

Method One

Required- Account number is used as the identification (ID) of the Shareholder. Required - The PIN is used as the access to the entered account.

Optional Requirement - Social Security Number may be chosen as an additional required field by Client, as part of the FAN Options, to add another level of authentication to access the entered account number.

Method Two

Required- Social Security Number (SSN) of the Shareholder. Required - The PIN is used as the access to the entered account.

Method Three

Required- User ID of the Shareholder. As part of the initial access, the Shareholder establishes a User

ID based on criteria established by Client as part of the FAN Options. Required - The PIN is used as the access to the entered account.

2. Encryption

The DST Web server runs Secure Sockets Layer ("SSL"). The purpose of using SSL is to encrypt data transmissions through the DST Web Site and block communications through the DST Web Site from Internet browsers which do not support SSL data encryption. The standard level of encryption supported by the DST Web Site is 128-bit encryption.

3. Network Access Control

A computer referred to as a "router" is located between the Internet backbone connection and the DST Web server. The purpose of the router is to control the connectivity to the DST Web server at the port level. This equipment is located at DST's Winchester data center, but it is administered and maintained by an independent firewall provider. Changes to the systems residing on this computer are submitted to the firewall provider for remote administration. DST is advised by its current firewall provider that this equipment will not interrogate data, and that its only function is to limit the type of traffic accessing the DST Web server to the suite of Hyper-Text Transfer Protocols ("HTTP") transmissions. Ports on the router are configured to be consistent with ports on the DST Web server. DST is advised by its current

firewall provider that all other ports on the router other than those configured for the DST Web server are not accessible from the Internet.

The DST Web server utilizes a UNIX operating system. All services and functions within the DST Web server operating system are deactivated with the exception of services and functions which support HTTP. This is the required service for HTML content which is what the FAN Transactions are based upon. The general purpose of this feature is to prevent external users from entering UNIX commands or running UNIX based processes on the DST Web server. All ports on the DST Web server, except those required by FAN (the ports accessed through the fire wall provider's router), are disabled. All "listeners" are deactivated. Directory structures are "hidden" from the user. Services which provide directory information are also deactivated.

DST administrators gain access to the DST Web server through the physical console connected to the DST Web server, or through the internal network via DST Secure ID.

FAN also incorporates a data mapping system referred to as the "CICS Mapper". The function of the CICS Mapper is to perform data packaging, security interrogation, and protocol conversion. Data received by the CICS Mapper from the DST Web server is interrogated for authenticity, repackaged for the DST TA/2000 mainframe system, and protocols are converted for communication.

The CICS Mapper is programmed to terminate the session/Transaction between the Shareholder and FAN if data authentication fails. Alerts are provided to system administrators upon termination.

4. Limitation of Users

Access of DST personnel to the DST Web server is restricted within DST to a limited number of users based upon DST system administration requirements, as determined by appropriate DST systems managers from time to time.

5. Independence of Each Client's Location on the Web Server

Independence of Client presence on the DST Web server is accomplished by establishing individual data set partitions on the DST Web server that are designed to be separate from other partitions. Each Client's presence resides within a separate data and directory structure on the DST Web server. The base transaction code required by FAN is, however, shared by all data set partitions.

Each Client URL on the DST Web server will identify a separate Client presence. The customer URL is designed to omit distinguishing characteristics of the URL which could identify the Client or DST to the Shareholder, and each Client will have a unique URL. The URL is in the following format:

128 bit encryption example:

▇▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇/▇▇/▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇?▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇

where the data following the 'cz=' will be unique to Client. The Client URL is not advertised by DST. Initial access to the Client presence on the DST Web server will be through the Client Web Site.

Book marking of HTML pages within Client's site on the DST Web server is not allowed with the exception of either a legal terms page or the logon page, which is the initial page presented to the Shareholder upon entry to the DST Web server. The FAN Options selected by Client determine which initial page will be displayed to the Shareholder.

6. Right to Audit

Client may audit, at its expense, the DST Web Site once in each 12 month period and any associated systems or networks within FAN, after providing reasonable written notice to DST. The audit may include review of configurations, audit trails, and maintenance of systems and software within FAN associated with the DST Web Site. Tools which may be used for the audit may include network security tools; provided, that DST may specify the time at which any tool is used, if DST reasonably believes that such tool may affect system performance. The audit will be coordinated through the DST Internal Audit Office and DST will be entitled to observe all audit activity. Client will not perform any action that may interfere with the uptime or stability of DST's systems or networks. Subject to the foregoing, Client may perform any audit activity which is technically possible for a user of the public Internet. In particular, Client and its review team will be considered authorized users and DST will not seek prosecution under any computer crime or other applicable statutes for such activity.

VISION Security Procedures

1.a. ID/Password Requirements - Users

Authentication of a User in Vision is based on the Vision Operator ID and Password.

Required - The Vision Operator ID, assigned by DST, shall have access authorization as determined by Client This may include the following access levels, at Client's option, the contents of which shall be determined by Client:

Unrestricted Access - This allows the User to view any account information for all of

Client's Financial Products.

Dealer Level Access - This allows the User to view any account information with the authorized dealer number.

Dealer/Branch Level Access - This allows the User to view any account information with the authorized dealer and branch combination.

Dealer/Representative Level Access - This allows the User to view any account information with the authorized dealer and representative combination.

Tax ID Level Access -This allows the User to view any account with the authorized

Social Security Number and/or TIN of the Unit Holder.

Trust/TPA Access- This allows the User to view any account with the authorized trust company or Third Party Administrator number assigned to the underlying account/contract.

Required- Password is used in conjunction with Vision Operator ID to access the Vision Web

Site, which consequently provides access to any Financial Product account information that has been previously authorized by Client Vision does not use a personal identification number

(PIN).

1.b. ID/Password Requirements - Client point of contact

Authentication of a Client point of contact in the Distribution Support Services Web Site is based on an Operator ID and Password.

Required - The Operator ID, chosen by Client, shall have access as determined by Client Access will be specific to the management company associated with Client This may include the following access levels, at Client's option, inquiry only access (Client point of contact may only view information related to Users) or update access (Client point of contact may update profiles related to Users, including, but not limited to, changing, adding and deleting User information). DST shall store the Operator ID and associated access levels. Any personnel changes or access changes . affecting Client point of contact must be communicated to DST promptly.

Required - Password is used in conjunction with Operator ID to access the Distribution Support Services Web Site, which consequently provides access to any User information (profile, firm, address, authorization information, etc.).

2. Encryption

The DST Web server runs Secure Sockets Layer ("SSL"). The purpose of using SSL is to encrypt data transmissions through the Vision Web Site and the Distribution Support Services Web Site and block communications through the Vision Web Site or the Distribution Support Services Web Site from Internet browsers which do not support SSL data encryption. The standard level of encryption supported by the Vision Web Site and the Distribution Support Services Web Site is 128-bit encryption.

3. Network Access Control

A device referred to as a "firewall" is located between the Internet and the collection of electronic documents or pages residing on DST's computer system, linked to the Internet and accessible through the World Wide Web, where the data fields and related screens provided by DST may be viewed by Users who access such site ("DST Web Site"). The purpose of the firewall is to control connectivity to the DST Web Site at the port level. This equipment is located and administered at DST's Winchester data center. Changes to the systems residing on this computer are submitted through the DST change control process. DST is advised by its current firewall provider that this equipment will not interrogate data, and that its only function is to limit the type of traffic accessing the DST Web Site. Ports on the firewall are configured to be consistent with ports at the DST Web Site.

All services and functions within the DST Web Site are deactivated with the exception of services and functions which support the transfer of files. All ports on the DST Web Site are disabled, except those ports required to transfer files. All "listeners" are deactivated. Directory structures are "hidden" from the user. Services which provide directory information are also deactivated.

4. Limitation of Users

5. Right to Audit

Client may audit, at its expense, the Vision Web Site and the Distribution Support Services Web Site once in each 12 month period and any associated systems or networks within FAN, after providing reasonable written notice to DST. The audit may include review of configurations, audit trails, and maintenance of systems and software within FAN associated with the Vision Web Site and the Distribution Support Services Web Site. Tools which may be used for the audit may include network security tools; provided, that DST may specify the time at which any tool is used, if DST reasonably believes that such tool may affect system performance. The audit will be coordinated through the DST Internal Audit Office and DST will be entitled to observe

all audit activity. Client will not perform any action that may interfere with the uptime or stability of DST's systems or networks. Subject to the foregoing, Client may perform any audit activity which is technically possible for a user of the public Internet. In particular, Client and its review team will be considered authorized users and DST will not seek prosecution under any computer crime or other applicable statutes for such activity.

USER ENROLLMENT AND AUTHORIZATION PROCEDURES

The following procedures are part of the Security Procedures applicable to Vision Services.

1. Enrollment.

Each User is required to complete an Electronic Enrollment Form, which is available at a URL designated by DST (at the date of this Agreement - ▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇). Users enrolling for access may complete the enrollment process by providing DST with information called for in the Electronic Enrollment Form about their practice and the Financial Products they wish to access.

2. Client Authorization.

Upon receiving a completed Electronic Enrollment Form from a User, DST will make available an Authorization Request to Client (point of contact) through the Distribution Support Services Web Site. The Authorization Request will identify the level of access requested and the security criteria as well as provide a sample client Tax ID/Social Security Number.

Through the Distribution Support Services Web Site, Client point of contact is solely responsible for authorizing or denying each User request for access to Transactions through Vision Services. When authorizing requests, security criteria must be verified by Client. This includes verifying:

•

Appropriate Level of Authorization. Please note, each authorization will provide access to the level indicated on DST's Authorization Request. Access may be requested at the dealer, dealer/branch, dealer/representative, tax ID, or Trust/TPA level.

•

Accurate Access Security Criteria. Client must verify that each field authorized in the security criteria accurately represents the dealer/branch/representative or tax ID information which appears on the master of the representative's clients accounts. 100% of the representative's accounts should reflect the authorized criteria.

Client assumes all responsibility for verifying the security level of each new User authorization request. DST shall not be required to verify that the person who processes the Authorization Request is legally authorized to do so on behalf of Client and DST shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon such approval/denial without further duty to inquire.

3. Password & ID Notification.

When Client approves an authorization request, the User's ID is updated for the authorized security and an e-mail is sent to the User notifying him/her of their access to the Vision Web Site. Users are required to establish their own initial password at a URL designated by DST (at the date of this Agreement - ▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇).
