Service Provider Fee Disclosure ERISA 408(b)(2) Regulations AU MEDICAL CENTER, INC. AU MEDICAL CENTER, INC. 403B RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN VALIC Mutual Fund Platform The Employee Retirement Income Security Act ("ERISA") requires plan fiduciaries to act prudently and solely in the interest of the plan's participants and beneficiaries when selecting and monitoring service providers and plan investments. As such, plan fiduciaries are responsible for ensuring that arrangements with their plan service providers are "reasonable" and that only reasonable compensation is paid for services. To ensure plan fiduciaries have access to sufficient information to make informed decisions concerning plan investments and services, the Department of Labor ("DOL") issued Regulation 2550.408b-2, under ERISA 408(b)(2), requiring a "covered service provider" to disclose the services provided and compensation received by the provider, its affiliates and subcontractors as well as certain information about plan investments. In accordance with this regulation, VALIC is providing you with this detailed explanation of the services and investments provided by VALIC and its affiliates and the compensation received for such services and investments. VALIC already provides the majority of this information to you in various media formats which may include: > Service agreements > Form 5500 Schedule C reporting > Plan Sponsor Online > Prospectuses > Annuity contracts > Educational and marketing materials This disclosure consolidates much of the same information in a cohesive and user-friendly format to further enable you to make informed decisions about the services and investments provided by VALIC to your Plan and their related cost. As you evaluate your Plan's service arrangement, VALIC would like to highlight some of the unique features of VALIC's investment platform and the associated bundled services arrangement that may play an important role in your evaluation: > Recordkeeping, Compliance and Custody Services. The Service Provider Agreement and Custodial or Trust Services Agreement include many of the recordkeeping, compliance and custodial services (both For Plan Sponsor Use Only 1 of 8 61712-001

participant-level and plan-level) for which you might otherwise need to contract separately. > Diverse Array of Investment Options. VALIC's open architecture platform of over 6,500 investment options allows Plan Sponsors to choose from and offer participants a wide selection of investments which may include mutual funds, guaranteed fixed-interest options and stable value funds. > Guaranteed Minimum Interest Rates. VALIC guarantees that contributions invested in a fixed-interest option will receive interest at declared interest rates for specified periods. The declared interest rate for a fixed-interest option will always be equal to or greater than the minimum rate declared in the contract. All guarantees are backed by the claims-paying ability of The Variable Annuity Life Insurance Company. > Lifetime Income and Other Payout Options. Participants may choose to have their accounts paid out in a variety of methods including lifetime annuity, lump sum, installment and partial annuity options. These features, along with the other provisions of the investment platform and bundled service arrangement, were developed to help your Plan participants save money for retirement and reach their retirement saving goals. VALIC is proud to be a covered service provider under your Plan. VALIC represents The Variable Annuity Life Insurance Company and its subsidiaries, VALIC Financial Advisors, Inc. and VALIC Retirement Services Company. For Plan Sponsor Use Only 2 of 8 61712-001
