AMENDMENT NO. FOUR
TO PRICING AND BOOKKEEPING AGREEMENT
This Amendment is made and entered into this 1st day of July, 2001 by
and between Liberty Variable Investment Trust (the "Trust") and Colonial
Management Associates, Inc. ("Colonial"), a Massachusetts corporation.
WHEREAS, the Trust and Colonial previously entered into a Pricing and
Bookkeeping Agreement dated June 7, 1993, as amended (the "Agreement"); and
WHEREAS, the parties desire to amend the compensation provision of the
Agreement and add provision that allows Colonial to delegate its
responsibilities under the Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements
of the parties hereto as herein set forth, the parties covenant and agree as
follows:
1. Paragraph 4 (Compensation) of the Agreement is amended and restated in
its entirety as follows:
"4. Compensation. The Trust will pay Colonial for each Fund a monthly
fee consisting of ------------ a Flat Fee plus an Asset-Based Fee, as
follows:
(a) "Flat Fee." For each Fund that is a stand-alone fund or a
master fund in a master/feeder structure, as identified as
such on Schedule A, an annual fee of $10,000, paid
monthly. For each Fund that is a feeder fund in a
master/feeder structure, as identified as such on Schedule
A, an annual fee of $5,000, paid monthly; plus
(b) "Asset-Based Fee." For each Fund that is a stand-alone
fund or a feeder fund in a master/feeder structure, as
identified as such on Schedule A, that has average net
assets of more than $50 million in any particular month, a
monthly fee equal to the average net assets of the Fund
for that month multiplied by the Asset-Based Fee Rate. The
"Asset-Based Rate" shall be calculated as follows:
[(number of stand-alone funds and master funds on
Schedule A x $105,000) + (number of feeder funds on
Schedule A x $12,000) - (annual flat fees payable by
each fund on Schedule A)] / (average monthly net
assets of all stand-alone funds and feeder funds on
Schedule A with average monthly net assets of more
than $50 million in that month)
[Note: certain of the funds listed on Schedule A are not party
to the Agreement but are listed for the purpose of calculating
the Asset-Based Fee Rate.] The Fund also shall reimburse
Colonial for any and all out-of-pocket expenses and charges,
including fees payable to third parties for pricing the Fund's
portfolio securities, in performing services under this
Agreement."
2. The following provision shall be added as paragraph 10 of the Agreement:
"10. Use of Affiliated Companies and Subcontractors." In connection
with the services to be provided by Colonial under this Agreement,
Colonial may, to the extent it deems appropriate, and subject to
compliance with the requirements of applicable laws and regulations and
upon receipt of approval of the Trustees, make use of (i) its
affiliated companies and their directors, trustees, officers, and
employees and (ii) subcontractors selected by Colonial, provided that
Colonial shall supervise and remain fully responsible for the services
of all such third parties in accordance with and to the extent provided
by this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in paragraph herein,
all costs and expenses associated with services provided by any such
third parties shall be borne by Colonial or such parties."
A copy of the document establishing the Trust is filed with the
Secretary of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts. This Agreement is
executed by officers not as individuals and is not binding upon any of
the Trustees, officers or shareholders of the Trust individually but
only upon the assets of the Fund.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound
hereby, have executed and delivered this Agreement as of the date first written
above.
