                                       BETWEEN

                       LINCOLN LIFE & ANNUITY COMPANY OF NEW YORK

                                         AND

                        LINCOLN VARIABLE INSURANCE PRODUCTS TRUST

 

 

     THIS AGREEMENT, made and entered into this ____ day of March, 2003, by

and between LINCOLN VARIABLE INSURANCE PRODUCTS TRUST, an open-end management

investment company organized as a Delaware business trust (the "Trust"), and

LINCOLN LIFE & ANNUITY COMPANY OF NEW YORK, a New York insurance corporation

(the "Company"), on its own behalf and on behalf of each separate

account of the Company named in Schedule 1 to this Agreement as in effect at

the time this Agreement is executed and such other separate accounts that may

be added to Schedule 1 from time to time in accordance with the provisions of

Article XI of this Agreement (each such account referred to as the "Account";

collectively, the "Accounts").

 

     WHEREAS, the Trust is engaged in business as an open-end management

investment company and was established for the purpose of serving as the

investment vehicle for separate accounts established for variable life

insurance policies and variable annuity contracts (collectively referred to

as "Variable Insurance Products," the owners of such products being referred

to as "Product owners") to be offered by insurance companies which have

entered into participation agreements with the Trust ("Participating

Insurance Companies"); and

 

     WHEREAS, the Trust filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission

(the "SEC") and the SEC has declared effective a registration statement

(referred to herein as the "Trust Registration Statement" and the prospectus

contained therein, or filed pursuant to Rule 497 under the 1933 Act, referred

to herein as the "Trust Prospectus") on Form N-lA to register itself as an

open-end management investment company (File No. 811-08090) under the

Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), and the Trust

shares (File No. 33-70742) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the

"1933 Act"); and

 

     WHEREAS, the beneficial interest in the Trust is divided into several

series of shares, each designated a "Fund," which are set forth in Schedule

2, and representing the interest in a particular managed portfolio of

securities and other assets; and

 

     WHEREAS, the Company has filed or will file a registration statement

with the SEC to register under the 1933 Act (unless exempt therefrom) certain

variable annuity contracts and/or variable life insurance policies (such

policies and contracts shall be referred to herein collectively as the

"Contracts"); and

 

    WHEREAS, each Account, a validly existing separate account, duly

authorized by the Company on the date set forth on Schedule 1, sets aside and

invests assets attributable to the

 

<PAGE>

 

Contracts; and

 

     WHEREAS, the Company has registered or will have registered each Account

with the SEC as a unit investment trust under the 1940 Act before any

Contracts are issued by that Account; and

 

     WHEREAS, to the extent permitted by applicable insurance laws and

regulations, the Company intends to purchase shares on behalf of each Account

to fund its Contracts and the Trust is authorized to sell such shares to unit

investment trusts such as the Accounts at net asset value;

 

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of their mutual promises, the Company

and the Trust agree as follows:

 

ARTICLE I.  SALE OF TRUST SHARES

 

     1.1.  The Trust agrees to sell to the Company those shares which the

Company orders on behalf of the Account, executing such orders on a daily

basis in accordance with Section 1.4 of this Agreement.

 

     1.2.  The Trust agrees to make shares available for purchase by the

Company on behalf of the Account at the then applicable net asset value per

share on Business Days as defined in Section 1.4 of this Agreement, and the

Trust shall use its best efforts to calculate and deliver such net asset

value by 7:00 p.m., New York time., on each such Business Day. 

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the

Board of Directors of the Trust (the "Trust Board") may suspend or terminate

the offering of shares, if such action is required by law or by regulatory

authorities having jurisdiction or if, in the sole discretion of the Trust

Board acting in good faith and in light of its fiduciary duties under Federal

and any applicable state laws, suspension or termination is necessary and in

the best interests of the shareholders  (it being understood that

"shareholders" for this purpose shall mean Product owners).

 

     1.3.  The Trust agrees to redeem, at the Company's request, any full or

fractional shares of the Trust held by the Account or the Company, executing

such requests at the net asset value on a daily basis (Company will expect

same day redemption wires unless unusual circumstances evolve which cause the

Trust to have to redeem securities) in accordance with Section 1.4 of this

Agreement, the applicable provisions of the 1940 Act and the then currently

effective Trust Prospectus.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trust may

delay redemption of Trust shares to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act, any

rules, regulations or orders thereunder, or the then currently effective

Trust Prospectus.

 

      1.4    (a)  For purposes of Sections 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3, the Company

             shall be the agent of the Trust for the limited purpose of

             receiving redemption and purchase requests from the Account (but

             not from the general account of the Company), and receipt on any

             Business Day by the Company as such limited agent of the Trust

             prior to

 

 

<PAGE>

 

             the time prescribed in the current Trust Prospectus (which as of

             the date of execution of this Agreement is 4 p.m., New York time)

             shall constitute receipt by the Trust on that same Business Day,

             provided that the Trust receives notice of such redemption or

             purchase request by 9:00 a.m., New York time on the next

             following Business Day.  For purposes of this Agreement, "Business

             Day" shall mean any day on which the New York Stock exchange is

             open for trading.

 

             (b)  The Company shall pay for the shares on the same day that

             it places an order with the Trust to purchase those Trust shares

             for an Account.  Payment for Trust shares will be made by the

             Account or the Company in Federal Funds transmitted to the Trust

             by wire to be received by 11:00 a.m., New York time on the day

             the Trust is properly notified of the purchase order for shares.

             The Trust will confirm receipt of each trade and these

             confirmations will be received by the Company via Fax or Email

             by 3:00 p.m. New York time.  If Federal Funds are not received on

             time, such funds will be invested, and shares purchased thereby

             will be issued, as soon as practicable.

 

             (c)  Payment for shares redeemed by the Account or the Company

             will be made in Federal Trusts transmitted to the Company by

             wire on the same day the Trust is notified of the redemption

             order of shares, except that the Trust reserves the right to

             delay payment of redemption proceeds, but in no event may such

             payment be delayed longer than the period permitted under

             Section 22(e) of the 1940 Act.  The Trust shall not bear any

             responsibility whatsoever for the proper disbursement or

             crediting of redemption proceeds if securities must be redeemed;

             the Company alone shall be responsible for such action.

 

     1.5.  Issuance and transfer of Trust shares will be by book entry only. 

Stock certificates will not be issued to the Company or the Account. 

Purchase and redemption orders for Trust shares will be recorded in an

appropriate ledger for the Account or the appropriate subaccount of the

Account.

 

     1.6.  The Trust shall furnish notice as soon as reasonably practicable

to the Company of any income dividends or capital gain distributions payable

on any shares.  The Company, on its behalf and on behalf of the Account,

hereby elects to receive all such dividends and distributions as are payable

on any shares in the form of additional shares of that Trust.  The Company

reserves the right, on its behalf and on behalf of the Account, to revoke

this election and to receive all such dividends in cash.  The Trust shall

notify the Company of the number of shares so issued as payment of such

dividends and distributions.

 

     1.7.  The Trust shall use its best efforts to make the net asset value

per share available to the Company by 7:00 p.m., New York Time each Business

Day, and in any event, as soon as reasonably practicable after the net asset

value per share is calculated, and shall calculate such net asset value in

accordance with the then currently effective Trust Prospectus.  The Trust

will notify Company when and if Trust does not communicate the net asset

value per share by 7:00 p.m. New York time. 

 

<PAGE>

 

     1.8  If the Trust provides the Company with materially incorrect share

net asset value information through no fault of the Company, the Company on

behalf of the Separate Accounts, shall be entitled to an adjustment to the

number of shares purchased or redeemed to reflect the correct share net asset

value.  Any material error in the calculation of net asset value per share,

dividend or capital gain information shall be reported promptly upon

discovery to the Company.  The Trust shall not be liable for any information

provided to the Company pursuant to this Agreement which information is based

on incorrect information supplied by the Company to the Trust.  In the event

of any material error in the calculation or communication of net asset value,

dividends or capital gain information or any delay in the communication, the

responsible party or parties shall reimburse the Company for any losses or

reasonable costs incurred as a result of the error or delay, including but

not limited to, amounts needed to make Contract owners whole and reasonable

administrative costs necessary to correct the error.

 

     1.9.  The Company may withdraw the Account's investment in the Trust

only: (i) as necessary to facilitate Contract owner requests; (ii) upon a

determination by a majority of the Trust Board, or a majority of

disinterested Trust Board members, that an irreconcilable material conflict

exists among the interests of (x) any Product Owners or (y) the interests of

the Participating Insurance Companies investing in the Trust; (iii) upon

requisite vote of the Contractowners having an interest in the Trust to

substitute the shares of another investment company for shares in accordance

with the terms of the Contracts; (iv) as required by state and/or federal

laws or regulations or judicial or other legal precedent of general

application; or (v) at the Company's sole discretion, pursuant to an order of

the SEC under Section 26(b) of the 1940 Act.

 

     1.10.  The parties hereto acknowledge that the arrangement contemplated

by this Agreement is not exclusive and that the Trust shares may be sold to

other insurance companies (subject to Section 1.12 hereof) and the cash value

of the Contracts may be invested in other investment companies.

 

     1.11.  The Company shall not, without prior notice to the Trust (unless

otherwise required by applicable law), take any action to operate the

Accounts as management investment companies under the 1940 Act.

 

     1.12.  The Trust agrees that Trust shares will be sold only to

Participating Insurance Companies and their separate accounts.  The Trust

will not sell Trust shares to any insurance company or separate account

unless an agreement complying with Article VII of this Agreement is in effect

to govern such sales.  No Trust shares will be sold to the general public.

 

ARTICLE II.  REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

 

     2.1.  The Company represents and warrants (a) that the Contracts are

Prospectus suitable for printing and other assistance as is reasonably

other than the information or representations contained in the Trust

by the Company for distribution to Contract owners, or in sales literature or

other promotional material approved in writing by the Company, except with

the prior written permission of the Company.  The Company agrees to respond

to any request for permission on a prompt and timely basis.  If the Company

fails to respond within 10 days of a request by the Trust, then the Trust is 

relieved of the obligation to obtain the prior written permission of the

Company.

display, computer net site, signs or billboards, motion pictures or other

public media), sales literature (i.e., any written communication distributed

proportionate share of the total cost to distribute the booklet to existing

Contractowners.)

 

     The Company is responsible for the cost of printing and distributing

Trust prospectuses and SAIs for new sales; and Account Prospectuses and SAIs

     6.2.  The Company shall amend the Contracts Registration Statements

under the 1933 Act and the Account's Registration Statement under the 1940

Act from time to time as required in order to effect the continuous offering

of the Contracts or as may otherwise be required by applicable law.  The

Company shall register and qualify the Contracts for sale to the extent

required by applicable securities laws of the various states.

 

     6.3.  The Trust shall amend the Trust Registration Statement under the

1933 Act and the 1940 Act from time to time as required in order to effect

for so long as Trust shares are sold the continuous offering of Trust shares

as described in the then currently effective Trust Prospectus.  The Trust

shall register and qualify Trust shares for sale to the extent required by

applicable securities laws of the various states.

 

     6.4.  The Company shall be responsible for assuring that any prospectus

offering a Contract that is a life insurance contract where it is reasonably

possible that such Contract would be deemed a "modified endowment contract,"

as that term is defined in Section 7702A of the Code, will describe the

circumstances under which a Contract could be treated as a modified endowment

contract (or policy).

 

     6.5.  To the extent that it decides to finance distribution expenses

pursuant to Rule 12b-1, the Trust undertakes to have a Trust Board of

Directors, a majority of whom are not interested persons of the Trust,

formulate and approve any plan under Rule 12b-1 to finance distribution

expenses.

ARTICLE VII.  POTENTIAL CONFLICTS

 

     7.1.  The Company agrees to report to the Board of Directors of the

Trust (the "Board") any potential or existing conflicts between the interests

of Product Owners of all separate accounts investing in the Trust, and to

assist the Board in carrying out its responsibilities under

 

<PAGE>

 

Section 6e-3(T) of the 1940 Act, by providing all information reasonably

necessary for the Board to consider any issues raised, including information

as to a decision to disregard voting instructions of variable contract owners.

 

     7.2.  If a majority of the Board, or a majority of disinterested Board

Members, determines that a material irreconcilable conflict exists, the Board

shall give prompt notice to all Participating Insurance Companies. 

 

             (a)  If a majority of the whole Board, after notice to the

             Company and a reasonable opportunity for the Company to appear

             before it and present its case, determines that the Company is

             responsible for said conflict, and if the Company agrees with

             that determination, the Company shall, at its sole cost and

             expense, take whatever steps are necessary to remedy the

             material irreconcilable conflict. These steps could include: (i)

             withdrawing the assets allocable to some or all of the affected

             Accounts from the Trust and reinvesting such assets in a

             different investment vehicle, or submitting the question of

             whether such segregation should be implemented to a vote of all

             affected Contractowners and, as appropriate, segregating the

             assets of any particular group (i.e., variable annuity

             Contractowners, variable life insurance policyowners, or

             variable Contractowners of one or more Participating Insurance

             Companies) that votes in favor of such segregation, or offering

             to the affected Contractowners the option of making such a

             change; and (ii) establishing a new registered mutual fund or

             management separate account; or (iii) taking such other action

             as is necessary to remedy or eliminate the material

             irreconcilable conflict.

 

             (b)  If the Company disagrees with the Board's determination,

             the Company shall file a written protest with the Board,

             reserving its right to dispute the determination as between just

             the Company and the Trust and to seek reimbursement from the

             Trust for the reasonable costs and expenses of resolving the

             conflict.  After reserving that right the Company, although

             disagreeing with the Board that it (the Company) was responsible

             for the conflict, shall take the necessary steps, under protest,

             to remedy the conflict, substantially in accordance with

             paragraph (a) just above, for the protection of Contractowners. 

 

             (c)  As between the Company and the Trust, if within 45 days

             after the Board's determination the Company elects to press the

             dispute, it shall so notify the Board in writing.  The parties

             shall then attempt to resolve the matter amicably through

             negotiation by individuals from each party who are authorized to

             settle the matter.  If the matter has not been amicably

             resolved within 60 days from the date of the Company's notice of

             its intent to press the dispute, then before either party shall

             undertake to litigate the dispute it shall be submitted to

             non-binding arbitration conducted expeditiously in accordance

             with the CPR Rules for Non-Administered Arbitration of Business

             Disputes, by a sole arbitrator; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if one

             party has requested the other party to seek an amicable

             resolution and the other party has failed to participate, the

             requesting party may initiate arbitration

 

<PAGE>

 

             before expiration of the 60-day period set out just above.

 

             If within 45 days of the commencement of the process to select

             an arbitrator the parties cannot agree upon the arbitrator, then

             he or she will be selected from the CPR Panels of Neutrals.  The

             arbitration shall be governed by the United States Arbitration

             Act, 9 U.S.C. Sec. 1-16.  The place of arbitration shall be Fort

             Wayne, Indiana.  The Arbitrator is not empowered to award

             damages in excess of compensatory damages.

 

             (d)  If the Board shall determine that the Trust or another was

             responsible for the conflict, then the Board shall notify the

             Company immediately of that determination.  The Trust shall

             assure the Company that it (the Trust) or that other

             Participating Insurance Company as applicable, shall, at its

             sole cost and expense, take whatever steps are necessary to

             eliminate the conflict.

 

             (e)  Nothing in Sections 7.2(b) or 7.2(c) shall constitute a

             waiver of any right of action which the Company may have against

             other Participating Insurance Companies for reimbursement of all

             or part of the costs and expenses of resolving the conflict.

 

     7.3.  If a material irreconcilable conflict arises because of the

Company's decision to disregard Contractowner voting instructions and that

decision represents a minority position or would preclude a majority vote,

the Company shall withdraw (without charge or penalty) the Account's

investment in the Trust, if the Trust so elects.

 

     7.4.  For purposes of this Article, a majority of the disinterested

members of the Board shall determine whether or not any proposed action

adequately remedies any irreconcilable conflict.  However, in no event will

the Trust be required to establish a new funding medium for any variable

contract, nor will the Company be required to establish a new funding medium

for any Contract, if in either case an offer to do so has been declined by a

vote of a majority of affected Contractowners.

 

ARTICLE VIII.  INDEMNIFICATION

 

     8.1.  INDEMNIFICATION BY THE COMPANY.  The Company agrees to indemnify

and hold harmless the Trust and each person who controls or is associated

with the Trust (other than another Participating Insurance Company) within

the meaning of such terms under the federal securities laws and any officer,

trustee, director, employee or agent of the foregoing, against any and all

losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several (including any

investigative, legal and other expenses reasonably incurred in connection

with, and any amounts paid with the prior written consent of the Company in

settlement of, any action, suit or proceeding or any claim asserted), to

which they or any of them may become subject under any statute or regulation,

at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or

liabilities:

 

<PAGE>

 

             (a)  arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or

             alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the

             Contracts Registration Statement, Contracts Prospectus, sales

             literature or other promotional material for the Contracts or

             the Contracts themselves (or any amendment or supplement to any

             of the foregoing), or arise out of or are based upon the

             omission or the alleged omission to state therein a material

             fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the

             statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances

             in which they were made; provided that this obligation to

             indemnify shall not apply if such statement or omission or such

             alleged statement or alleged omission was made in reliance upon

             and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the

             Company by the Trust (or a person authorized in writing to do so

             on behalf of the Trust) for use in the Contracts Registration

             Statement, Contracts Prospectus or in the Contracts or sales

             literature (or any amendment or supplement) or otherwise for use

             in connection with the sale of the Contracts or Trust shares; or

 

             (b)  arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or

             alleged untrue statement of a material fact by or on behalf of

             the Company (other than statements or representations contained

             in the Trust Registration Statement, Trust Prospectus or sales

             literature or other promotional material of the Trust not

             supplied by the Company or persons under its control) or

             wrongful conduct of the Company or persons under its control

             with respect to the sale or distribution of the Contracts or

             Trust shares; or

 

             (c)  arise out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue

             statement of a material fact contained in the Trust Registration

             Statement, Trust Prospectus or sales literature or other

             promotional material of the Trust or any amendment thereof or

             supplement thereto, or the omission or alleged omission to state

             therein a material fact required to be stated therein or

             necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light

             of the circumstances in which they were made, if such statement

             or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with

             information furnished to the Trust by or on behalf of the

             Company; or

 

             d)  arise as a result of any failure by the Company to provide

             the services and furnish the materials or to make any payments

             under the terms of this Agreement; or

 

             (e)  arise out of any material breach by the Company of this

             Agreement, including but not limited to any failure to transmit

             a request for redemption or purchase of Trust shares on a timely

             basis in accordance with the procedures set forth in Article I;

             or

 

             (f)  arise as a result of the Company's providing the Trust with

             inaccurate information, which causes the Trust to calculate its

             Net Asset Values incorrectly.

 

This indemnification will be in addition to any liability which the Company

may otherwise have;

 

<PAGE>

 

provided, however, that no party shall be entitled to indemnification if such

loss, claim, damage or liability is due to the willful misfeasance, bad

faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of duty by the party seeking

indemnification.

 

     8.2.  INDEMNIFICATION BY THE TRUST.  The Trust agrees to indemnify and

hold harmless the Company and each person who controls or is associated with

the Company within the meaning of such terms under the federal securities

laws and any officer, director, employee or agent of the foregoing, against

any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several

(including any investigative, legal and other expenses reasonably incurred in

connection with, and any amounts paid with the prior written consent of the

Trust in settlement of, any action, suit or proceeding or any claim

asserted), to which they or any of them may become subject under any statute

or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims,

damages or liabilities:

 

             (a)  arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or

             alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the

             Trust Registration Statement, Trust Prospectus (or any amendment

             or supplement thereto) or sales literature or other promotional

             material of the Trust, or arise out of or are based upon the

             omission or the alleged omission to state therein a material

             fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the

             statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances

             in which they were made; provided that this obligation to

             indemnify shall not apply if such statement or omission or

             alleged statement or alleged omission was made in reliance upon

             and in conformity with information furnished in writing by the

             Company to the Trust for use in the Trust Registration

             Statement, Trust Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement

             thereto) or sales literature for the Trust or otherwise for use

             in connection with the sale of the Contracts or Trust shares; or

 

             (b)  arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or

             alleged untrue statement of a material fact made by the Trust

             (other than statements or representations contained in the Trust

             Registration Statement, Trust Prospectus or sales literature or

             other promotional material of the Trust not supplied by the

             Distributor or the Trust or persons under their control) or

             wrongful conduct of the Trust or persons under its control with

             respect to the sale or distribution of the Contracts or Trust

             shares; or

 

             (c)  arise out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue

             statement of a material fact contained in the Contract's

             Registration Statement, Contracts Prospectus or sales literature

             or other promotional material for the Contracts (or any

             amendment or supplement thereto), or the omission or alleged

             omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated

             therein or necessary to make the statements therein not

             misleading in light of the circumstances in which they were

             made, if such statement or omission was made in reliance upon

             information furnished in writing by the Trust to the Company (or

             a person authorized in writing to do so on

 

 

<PAGE>

 

             behalf of the Trust); or

 

             (d)  arise as a result of any failure by the Trust to provide

             the services and furnish the materials under the terms of this

             Agreement (including, but not by way of limitation, a failure,

             whether unintentional or in good faith or otherwise: (i) to

             comply with the diversification requirements specified in

             Sections 2.4 and 6.1 in Article VI of this Agreement; and (ii)

             to provide the Company with accurate information sufficient for

             it to calculate its accumulation and/or annuity unit values in

             timely fashion as required by law and by the Contracts

             Prospectuses); or

 

             (e)  arise out of any material breach by the Trust of this

             Agreement.

 

This indemnification will be in addition to any liability which the Trust may

otherwise have; provided, however, that no party shall be entitled to

indemnification if such loss, claim, damage or liability is due to the

willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of

duty by the party seeking indemnification.

 

     8.3.  INDEMNIFICATION PROCEDURES.  After receipt by a party entitled to

indemnification ("indemnified party") under this Article VIII of notice of

the commencement of any action, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made

by the indemnified party against any person obligated to provide

indemnification under this Article VIII ("indemnifying party"), such

indemnified party will notify the indemnifying party in writing of the

commencement thereof as soon as practicable thereafter, provided that the

omission to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any

liability under this Article VIII, except to the extent that the omission

results in a failure of actual notice to the indemnifying party and such

indemnifying party is damaged solely as a result of the failure to give such

notice.  The indemnifying party, upon the request of the indemnified party,

shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to

represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may

designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and disbursements of such

counsel related to such proceeding.  In any such proceeding, any indemnified

party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and

expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party

unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have

mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or (ii) the named parties to

any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the

indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both

parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential

differing interests between them.  The indemnifying party shall not be liable

for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent but

if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the

plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party

from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or

judgment.

 

      A successor by law of the parties to this Agreement shall be entitled

to the benefits of the indemnification contained in this Article VIII.  The

indemnification provisions contained in this Article VIII shall survive any

termination of this Agreement.

 

<PAGE>

 

ARTICLE IX. APPLICABLE LAW

 

     9.1.  This Agreement shall be construed and the provisions hereof

interpreted under and in accordance with the laws of the state of Indiana,

without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law.

 

     9.2.  This Agreement shall be subject to the provisions of the 1933,

1934 and 1940 Acts, and the rules and regulations and rulings thereunder,

including such exemptions from those statutes, rules and regulations as the

SEC may grant, and the terms hereof shall be limited, interpreted and

construed in accordance therewith.

 

ARTICLE X. TERMINATION

 

     10.1.  This Agreement shall terminate:

 

             (a)  at the option of any party upon 120 days advance written

             notice to the other parties; or

 

             (b)  at the option of the Company if shares of the Trust are not

             available to meet the requirements of the Contracts as

             determined by the Company.  Prompt notice of the election to

             terminate for such cause shall be furnished by the Company. 

             Termination shall be effective ten days after the giving of 

             notice by the Company; or

 

             (c)  at the option of the Trust upon institution of formal

             proceedings against the Company by the NASD, the SEC, the

             insurance commission of any state or any other regulatory body

             regarding the Company's duties under this Agreement or related

             to the sale of the Contracts, the operation of the Account, the

             administration of the Contracts or the purchase of Trust shares;

 

             (d)  at the option of the Company upon institution of formal

             proceedings against the Trust, the investment advisor or any

             sub-investment advisor, by the NASD, the SEC, or any state

             securities or insurance commission or any other regulatory body;

             or

 

             (e)  upon requisite vote of the Contract owners having an

             interest in the Trust (unless otherwise required by applicable

             law) and written approval of the Company, to substitute the

             shares of another investment company for the corresponding

             shares of the Trust in accordance with the terms of the

             Contracts; or

 

             (f)  at the option of the Trust in the event any of the

             Contracts are not registered, issued or sold in accordance with

             applicable Federal and/or state law;

 

<PAGE>

 

             or

 

             (g)  at the option of the Company or the Trust upon a

             determination by a majority of the Trust Board, or a majority of

             disinterested Trust Board members, that an irreconcilable

             material conflict exists among the interests of  (i) any Product

             owners or (ii) the interests of the Participating Insurance

             Companies investing in the Trust; or

 

             (h)  at the option of the Company if the Trust ceases to qualify

             as a Regulated Investment Company under Subchapter M of the

             Code, or under any successor or similar provision, or if the

             Company reasonably believes, based on an opinion of its counsel,

             that the Trust may fail to so qualify; or

 

             (i)  at the option of the Company if the Trust fails to meet the

             diversification requirements specified in Section 817(h) of the

             Code and any regulations thereunder; or

 

             (j)  at the option of the Trust if the Contracts cease to

             qualify as annuity contracts or life insurance policies, as

             applicable, under the Code, or if the Trust reasonably believes

             that the Contracts may fail to so qualify; or

 

             (k)  at the option of the Trust if the Trust shall determine, in

             its sole judgment exercised in good faith, that either (1) the

             Company shall have suffered a material adverse change in its

             business or financial condition; or (2) the Company shall have

             been the subject of material adverse publicity which is likely

             to have a material adverse impact upon the business and

             operations of the Trust; or

 

             (l)  at the option of the Company, if the Company shall

             determine, in its sole judgment exercised in good faith, that:

             (1) the Trust shall have suffered a material adverse change in

             its business or financial condition; or (2) the Trust shall have

             been the subject of material adverse publicity which is likely

             to have a material adverse impact upon the business and

             operations of the Company; or

 

             (m)  automatically upon the assignment of this Agreement

             (including, without limitation, any transfer of the Contracts or

             the Accounts to another insurance company pursuant to an

             assumption reinsurance agreement) unless the non-assigning party

             consents thereto or unless this Agreement is assigned to an

             affiliate of the Company or the Trust, as the case may be.

 

     10.2.  Notice Requirement.  Except as otherwise provided in Section

10.1, no termination of this Agreement shall be effective unless and until

the party terminating this Agreement gives prior written notice to the other

party of its intent to terminate, which notice shall set forth the basis for

such termination.  Furthermore:

 

             (a)  In the event that any termination is based upon the

             provisions of Article

 

<PAGE>

 

 

             VII or the provisions of Section 10.1(a) of this Agreement, such

             prior written notice shall be given in advance of the effective

             date of termination as required by such provisions; and

            

             (b)  in the event that any termination is based upon the

             provisions of Section 10.1(c) or 10.1(d) of this Agreement, such

             prior written notice shall be given at least ninety (90) days

             before the effective date of termination, or sooner if required

             by law or regulation.

 

10.3.  EFFECT OF TERMINATION

 

             (a)  Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement pursuant

             to Section 10.1 of this Agreement, the Trust will, at the option

             of the Company, continue to make available additional Trust

             shares for so long after the termination of this Agreement as

             the Company desires, pursuant to the terms and conditions of

             this Agreement as provided in paragraph (b) below, for all

             Contracts in effect on the effective date of termination of this

             Agreement (hereinafter referred to as "Existing Contracts"). 

             Specifically, without limitation, if the Company so elects to

             make additional Trust shares available, the owners of the

             Existing Contracts or the Company, whichever shall have legal

             authority to do so, shall be permitted to reallocate investments

             in the Trust, redeem investments in the Trust and/or invest in

             the Trust upon the making of additional purchase payments under

             the Existing Contracts.

 

             (b)  If Trust shares continue to be made available after such

             termination, the provisions of this Agreement shall remain in

             effect except for Section 10.1(a) and thereafter either the

             Trust or the Company may terminate the Agreement, as so

             continued pursuant to this Section 10.3, upon prior written

             notice to the other party, such notice to be for a period that

             is reasonable under the circumstances but, if given by the

             Trust, need not be for more than six months.

 

             (c)  The parties agree that this Section 10.3 shall not apply to

             any termination made pursuant to Article VII, and the effect of

             such Article VII termination shall be governed by the provisions

             set forth or incorporated by reference therein.

 

ARTICLE XI.  APPLICABILITY TO NEW ACCOUNTS AND NEW CONTACTS

 

     The parties to this Agreement may amend the schedules to this Agreement

from time to time to reflect changes in or relating to the Contracts and to

add new classes of variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance

policies to be issued by the Company through new or existing Separate

Accounts investing in the Trust.  The provisions of this Agreement shall be

equally applicable to each such separate account and each such class of

contracts or policies, unless the context otherwise requires.  Any such

amendment must be signed by the parties and must bear an effective date for

that amendment.

The California Department of Insurance has established the following

Guidelines for an underlying portfolio of a Separate Account:

 

BORROWING. The borrowing limit for any fund is 331/3 percent of total assets.

Entering into a reverse repurchase agreement shall be considered "borrowing"

as that term is used herein.

 

FOREIGN INVESTMENTS - DIVERSIFICATION

 

The diversification guidelines to be followed by international and global

FUNDS are as follows:

 

a.  An international FUND or a global FUND is sufficiently diversified if it

    is invested in a minimum of three different countries at all times, and

    has invested no more than 50 percent of total assets in any one

    second-tier country and no more than 25 percent of total assets in any

    one third-tier country.  First-tier countries are: Germany, the United

    Kingdom, Japan, the United States, France, Canada, and Australia.

    Second-tier countries are all countries not in the first or third tier. 

    Third-tier countries are countries identified as "emerging" or

    "developing" by the International Bank for Reconstruction and

    Development ("World Bank") or International Finance Corporation.

 

b.  A regional FUND is sufficiently diversified if it is invested in a minimum

    of three countries.  The name of the FUND must accurately describe the

    FUND.

 

c.  The name of the single country FUND must accurately describe the FUND.

 

d.  An index FUND must substantially mirror the index.
