Business Continuity Planning Disclosure
BancorpSouth Investment Services, Inc. has developed a Business Continuity Plan on how we will respond to events that significantly disrupt our business. Since the timing and impact of disasters and disruptions is unpredictable, we will have to be flexible in responding to actual events as they occur. With that in mind, we are providing you with this information on our business continuity plan.

Contacting Us - If after a significant business disruption you cannot contact us as you usually do at 601-592-4900 or via email, thomas.howard@bxs.com, you should call one of our alternate numbers, Elizabeth Hamm at 662-680-2076 or Tina Jacobs at 870-875-5332. If you cannot access us through either of those means, you should contact our clearing firm, Pershing, LLC at 201-413-2247 for instructions on how to process limited trade-related transactions, cash disbursements, and security transfers. Instructions to Pershing must be in writing and transmitted via facsimile at (201) 413-5368 or by postal service as follows:

Pershing LLC
P.O. Box 2065
Jersey City, New Jersey 07303-2065

For additional information on how to request funds and securities during a significant business disruption, please visit the "About Pershing" section of the Pershing website at www.pershing.com or call (201) 413-3635 for recorded instructions. If you cannot access the Pershing instructions from the web site or the previous noted telephone number, Pershing may be contacted at (213) 624-6100, extension 500, as an alternate telephone number for recorded instructions. The Firm may not place all its variable annuity transactions through our clearing firm; rather, transactions may be placed directly through the variable annuity provider. Accordingly, in the unlikely event that we are unable to continue business, clients may directly contact their variable annuity provider, as indicated on their periodic account statements, to process limited trade-related transactions. Certain mutual fund transactions also may not be placed through our clearing firm. If this is the case, in the unlikely event that we are unable to continue business, clients may directly contact their mutual fund provider, as indicated on their periodic account statements, to process limited trade-related transactions. You may contact your representative to determine whether your mutual fund transactions are placed through our clearing firm or directly through a mutual fund provider.

Our Business Continuity Plan - We plan to quickly recover and resume business operations after a significant business disruption and respond by safeguarding our employees and property, making a financial and operational assessment, protecting the firm's books and records, and allowing our customers to transact business. In short, our business continuity plan is designed to permit our firm to resume operations as quickly as possible, given the scope and severity of the significant business disruption. Our business continuity plan addresses: data back up and recovery, all mission critical systems, financial and operational assessments, alternative communications with customers, employees, and regulators; alternate physical location of employees, critical supplier, contractor, bank and counter-party impact, regulatory reporting, and assuring our customers prompt access to their funds and securities if we are unable to continue our business. Our clearing firm, Pershing, LLC, backs up our important records in a geographically separate area. While every emergency situation poses unique problems based on external factors, such as time of day and the severity of the disruption, we have been advised by our clearing firm that its objective is to restore its own operations and be able to complete existing transactions and accept new transactions and payments within four hours. Your orders and requests for funds and securities could be delayed during this period.

Varying Disruptions - Significant business disruptions can vary in their scope, such as only our firm, a single building housing our firm, the business district where our firm is located, the city where we are located, or the whole region. Within each of these areas, the severity of the disruption can also vary from minimal to severe. In a disruption to only our firm or a building housing our firm, we will transfer our operations to a local site when needed and expect to recover and resume business within 4 hours. In a disruption affecting our business district, city, or region, we will transfer our operations to a site outside of the affected area, and recover and resume business within 8 hours. In either situation, we plan to continue in business, transfer operations to an alternate site if necessary, and notify you through our web site www.bancorpsouth.com or our customer emergency number, 601-592-4900 or 662-680-2076 on how to contact us. If the significant business disruption is so severe that it prevents us from remaining in business, we will assure our customer's prompt access to their funds and securities.

For more information - If you have questions about our business continuity planning, you can contact us at BancorpSouth Investment Services, Inc. 525 East Capital Street, Jackson, MS. 39201.

MUTUAL FUND FEES AND ADDITIONAL COMPENSATION

Mutual funds are subject to various fees, charges and other expenses, including investment management fees and various distributionrelated fees (including 12b-1 fees), transfer agency fees and other administrative service fees. The current prospectus for the applicable mutual fund contains more detailed information concerning the fund and its objectives, risks, fees and charges. A copy of the current prospectus may be obtained by contacting your Account Administrator.

BancorpSouth Asset Management & Trust receives fees or other compensation ("Fund Compensation") when your account's assets are invested in certain mutual funds, including money market mutual funds. Some Fund Compensation is paid to us from the assets of the funds ("Fund-Paid Compensation") and impacts your investment return. In other instances, Fund Compensation is paid out of the assets of the fund's manager/sponsor ("Manager-Paid Compensation") and does not impact your investment return. Generally, Fund Compensation is paid to us at least quarterly and is based on a percentage of the average daily net assets of your account invested in the fund. The Fund Compensation we receive is in addition to our normal asset-based fees and other fees and the value of your account's assets will be included in calculating our normal asset-based fees and applicable Fund Compensation.

Trading Platform. If you direct the investment of your account, you have access to a wide variety of mutual funds on our BancorpSouth Asset Management Trading Platform. Many of the mutual funds available on the Trading Platform pay us Fund-Paid Compensation for sub-transfer agency and related services, which fees typically range from 0.10% - 0.15% annually. In addition, certain funds available on the Trading Platform pay us Fund-Paid Compensation in the form of 12b-1 fees for various administration and customer servicing relating to the fund's shares held by your account, which fees typically range from 0.00% to 0.25% annually.

Asset Allocation Models. Currently, we receive Fund-Paid Compensation only in the form of sub-transfer agency fees (for services related to buying, selling, and holding fund shares) from some mutual funds (including money market funds) that are used in our Asset Allocation Models. The sub-transfer agency fees we receive range from 0.00% to 0.15%. The amount of Fund Compensation we receive will vary from fund to fund and may not apply in the case of some funds. Our investment process is designed to pick funds for the Asset Allocation Models without regard to whether a fund pays us Fund Compensation and without regard to the amount of such compensation.

Money Market Mutual Funds. Your account's short-term balances are invested in money market mutual funds sponsored/managed by Federated Securities Corp. ("Federated Money Funds") or money market mutual funds sponsored/managed by Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. ("Goldman Money Funds"). As of March 1, 2011, we receive Manager-Paid Compensation from Federated Securities Corp. or its affiliates of up to 0.05% of the average net assets invested in Federated Money Funds and from Goldman Sachs Asset Management or one of its affiliates of up to 0.06% of the average net assets invested in the Goldman Money Funds. The level of Manager-Paid Compensation will vary from time to time.
