AMENDED AND RESTATED ACCOUNTING, VALUATION, REPORTING AND
TREASURY SERVICES AGREEMENT
As of January 1, 1999
The Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States
1290 Avenue of the Americas
New York, NY 10104
AMENDED AND RESTATED ACCOUNTING, VALUATION, REPORTING AND
TREASURY SERVICES AGREEMENT FOR THE GENERAL ACCOUNT AND
CERTAIN SEPARATE ACCOUNTS OF THE EQUITABLE LIFE ASSURANCE
SOCIETY OF THE UNITED STATES
Dear Sir or Madam:
Alliance Capital Management L.P. (together with any affiliated
successor to its business, "Servicer") and The Equitable Life Assurance
Society of the United States ("Client") hereby confirm our mutual agreement as
set forth below.
Client desires to avail itself of Servicer's experience, assistance
and facilities with respect to certain accounting, valuation and reporting and
treasury services set forth on Schedules A through E, annexed to and made part
of this Agreement, to be provided for Client's General Account and certain of
its Separate Accounts specified in such schedules. Servicer is willing to
perform such services upon the terms and conditions set forth below.
It is understood and agreed that, on January 1, 1997, Equitable
Variable Life Insurance Company ("EVLICO") was merged into Client and that,
pursuant to the merger, Client succeeded to EVLICO's obligations under the
Accounting, Valuation, Reporting and Treasury Services Agreement of the
General Account of EVLICO dated July 22, 1993, as amended (the "EVLICO
Agreement"). It is further understood and agreed that, by execution of this
Agreement, the relevant provisions of the EVLICO Agreement are incorporated
herein and the EVLICO Agreement is hereby terminated.
1. Client agrees to pay Servicer's fees (the "Fees") for providing
the services set forth on Schedules A through E. During the initial 12-month
period of this Agreement, as amended and restated, the annual Fees for the
services set forth on Schedules A through D will be as set forth below and the
annual Fee for the services set forth on Schedule E will be determined in
accordance with the fee rate section of Schedule E.
1
Schedule A For these services provided for the assets in the General
Account and Separate Accounts 43, 46 and 48 (the "Primary Assets"),
$4,972,000. Client agrees to pay bank custody fees.
Schedule B For these services provided for (i) Association Plan
assets as to which neither Servicer nor a subsidiary of Servicer
provides investment advisory services (the "Unmanaged Association
Plan Assets") and (ii) Annuity Separate Account assets as to which
neither Servicer nor its subsidiary provides investment advisory
services, $15,000 for Mellon Bank Account 157, $20,000 each for
British American Account 176A and Ethyl Corp. Account 177A, and
$30,000 for each other Association Plan account or Annuity Separate
Account with another investment adviser. Client also agrees to pay
with respect to these assets outside audit fees and bank custody fees
(unless the contract with Client's client provides that such charges
shall be borne by such client).
Schedule C For these services provided for Association Plan assets in
Pooled Separate Accounts as to which Servicer or its subsidiary
provides investment advisory services, $15,000 for each Association
Plan account.
Schedule D For these services provided for assets in (i) the
investment divisions of Separate Account A and of Separate Account
301 which invest in the corresponding portfolios of The Hudson River
Trust and (ii) Equipension Q and G which participate in Pooled
Separate Accounts 4 and 5 as to which Servicer or its subsidiary
provide investment advisory services, $164,000.
Schedule E For these treasury services provided for the Primary
Assets and the Unmanaged Association Plan Assets, the fee determined
by applying the fee rate schedule of Schedule E separately to the
Primary Assets allocated to each segment of Client's General Account
as to which Servicer or its subsidiary provides investment advisory
services, to the invested assets in Client's General Account as to
which Client's Treasurer provides investment advisory services, and
to the Unmanaged Association Plan Assets.
Schedule F For these services provided for the assets in (i) Separate
Account PVT, $40,000 and (ii) Separate Account P-1, $32,000. All bank
custody fees for separate accounts PVT and P-1 are not to be charged
to Client but rather to such Separate Accounts.
The Fees for each successive 12-month period in which this Agreement,
as amended and restated, is in effect will be adjusted as mutually agreed by
Client and Servicer. It is understood that the Fees are based upon certain
assumptions relating to the number of accounts, transactions and assets. It is
agreed that if the nature of these services change at any time during any
12-month period, otherwise than solely as a result
2
of an increase in asset base, then Servicer shall receive from Client an
increase for providing services under this Agreement for such period. All
adjustments to the Fees in subsequent periods or for changes in the nature of
the services during any period shall be based on either (i) fees being charged
by Servicer to other clients for similar services, or (ii) if Servicer is not
providing similar services to other clients, then on Servicer's costs (direct
and indirect) and expenses incurred in furnishing services pursuant to this
Agreement. In determining such costs and expenses, specific identification or
estimates based on time, company assets, square footage or other mutually
agreeable methods providing for a fair and reasonable allocation of costs may
be used, provided such method is in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles and with the requirements of Section 1505(a) of the New
York Insurance Law and New York Insurance Department Regulation No. 33.
2. The monthly amount due is calculated at 1/12 of that 12-month
period's annual amount due on the Fees and shall be billed within 15 days of
the end of the preceding calendar month. Each bill shall be due and payable on
the thirtieth day after the end of the preceding calendar month and will
accrue interest on the unpaid balance from the due date at a compounded
interest rate which is the equivalent of the prime rate announced from time to
time by The Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A. if not paid by the due date. If the
initial period is shorter than a calendar month, the amounts due for such
period are the monthly payments prorated to the end of the calendar month. The
amounts due for periods shorter than a calendar month due to termination of
this Agreement are the monthly amounts prorated to the termination date. Such
amounts are due and payable upon termination of this Agreement.
3. Client shall have the right to conduct a review of the books,
records and accounts of Servicer relating to provision of services hereunder
upon giving reasonable notice of its intent to conduct such a review. In the
event of such review, Servicer shall give to Client reasonable cooperation and
access to all books, records and accounts necessary to the review.
4. Each party shall be and remain sole owner of its records,
including but not limited to business and corporate records, regardless of the
use or possession by either party of the other party's records in connection
with the services provided under this Agreement. Upon termination of this
Agreement, Servicer shall deliver to Client, or as Client may direct, all of
Client's records held by it in the course of providing services under this
Agreement.
5. Should an irreconcilable difference of opinion between Servicer
and Client arise as to the interpretation of any matter respecting this
Agreement, it is hereby mutually agreed that such differences shall be
submitted to arbitration as the sole remedy available to both parties. Such
arbitration shall be in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration
Association, the arbitrators shall have extensive experience in the
3
insurance and/or investment advisory industries, and the arbitration shall
take place in New York, New York.
6. No assignment of this Agreement shall be made by either party,
except that the Servicer may assign this Agreement to an affiliated successor
to its business.
7. Servicer may contract with one or more of its wholly owned
subsidiaries for the performance of its obligations hereunder, provided that
the terms and conditions of such contracts shall not be inconsistent herewith
and that Servicer shall not be relieved of its duties and obligations to
Client hereunder. Servicer shall be solely liable for all fees owed by it
under any such contract, irrespective of whether Servicer's compensation
pursuant hereto is sufficient to pay such fees.
8. This Agreement will continue through December 31, 1999. After
such date this Agreement shall be effective for successive 12-month periods
unless either Client or Servicer notifies the other in writing not later than
the first day of the then current 12- month period that this Agreement shall
not be renewed at the end of such period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, after
the end of the initial 12-month period, Client may terminate this Agreement
upon 90 days written notice to Servicer and Servicer may terminate this
Agreement upon 120 days written notice to Client. Pursuant to various
agreements with Client and its life insurance subsidiary, The Equitable of
Colorado, Inc., Servicer and Alliance Corporate Finance Group Incorporated, an
indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Servicer, are providing investment
advisory services and Servicer is providing accounting, valuation, reporting
and treasury services to Client and such subsidiaries. Client and Adviser
agree that it would not be appropriate for Client or Adviser to be able to
terminate this Agreement without terminating concurrently all such agreements.
Therefore, Client and Servicer agree that neither Client nor Servicer shall
give a notice of termination or notice of nonrenewal under this Agreement
other than a deemed termination notice as a result of the giving of a notice
of termination or notice of nonrenewal under the Amended and Restated
Investment Advisory and Management Agreement, dated as of January 1, 1999,
between Servicer and Alliance Corporate Finance Group Incorporated, as
adviser, and Client (the "Investment Advisory and Management Agreement") or a
termination notice pursuant to the third paragraph of this section 8. Upon
termination of this Agreement Client will pay to Servicer all fees accrued and
unpaid to the date of termination.
If Client or Servicer gives notice of termination of this Agreement,
Client and Servicer will take all necessary steps, including, without
limitation, Servicer providing Client with access to and the opportunity to
consult with Servicer's employees, in order to facilitate a smooth transition
of the records and responsibilities so as to avoid a disruption of services to
Client. Any such transition shall begin on the giving of such termination
notice, and the parties shall use their best efforts to complete such
transition by the termination date. If such transition is not completed by the
termination date and if
4
Servicer continues to provide services or undertake duties and
responsibilities under this Agreement, this Agreement, including without
limitation the fee provisions, shall be deemed to continue in effect with
respect to the services so provided or duties and responsibilities so
undertaken.
If this Agreement is deemed to be terminated as a result of a
termination notice by Servicer under the Investment Advisory and Management
Agreement, then Servicer shall not be entitled with respect to any period
after the effective date of termination, to any fees of any kind other than
any fees contemplated by the following paragraph, including, without
limitation, any fees contemplated by Section 1. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary herein contained, Servicer may terminate this Agreement if Client
fails to pay any fees due and owing under this Agreement and such failure
remains uncured for a period of 90 days after receipt by Client of written
notice of such breach during which period Client and Servicer shall work
together to resolve any disagreement concerning the calculation of such fees,
provided that termination pursuant to this provision shall not become
effective until completion of any arbitration under Section 5 of this
Agreement with respect to the calculation of such fees unless otherwise
provided in the arbitration proceedings.
If this Agreement is deemed to be terminated or not renewed (i) by
Client as a result of a termination by Client of the Investment Advisory and
Management Agreement other than for Cause (as defined in the Investment
Advisory and Management Agreement) prior to December 31, 2003, or (ii) by
Servicer pursuant to the second full sentence of the fifth paragraph of
Section 11 of the Investment Advisory and Management Agreement, other than a
termination which is a termination by Client for Cause under such agreement,
prior to December 31, 2003, then Client agrees, in recognition of Servicer's
willingness to provide such services until December 31, 2003, that it will pay
Servicer a one-time fee, depending on the date of termination set forth below,
for the transfer of books and records and such systems as are agreed by Client
and Servicer, for the opportunity to consult with Servicer's employees and for
the facilitation by Servicer of the transfer of responsibilities hereunder by
Servicer to Client or such other person as may be designated by Client:

Prior to 12/31/99 $80,000,000

9. This Agreement shall not be amended, changed or modified except
by an instrument in writing signed by Client and Servicer. Any such amendment,
change or modification shall comply with all applicable requirements of the
New York Insurance Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the state of New York.
