     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

THE LINCOLN NATIONAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, an Indiana 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

 

<PAGE>

 

Company on the date set forth on Schedule 1, sets aside and invests assets

attributable to the 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

 

<PAGE>

 

            on any Business Day by the Company as such limited agent of the

            Trust prior to 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

 

<PAGE>

 

p.m. New York time.

 

     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.

Company decided to print the Trust Prospectuses and SAIs in a booklet or

separate booklets containing disclosure for the Contracts  and for underlying

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

Contractowners.)

ARTICLE VI.  COMPLIANCE UNDERTAKINGS

 

     6.1.  The Trust undertakes to comply with Subchapter M and Section

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.

 

     6.6.  (a)  When appropriate in order to inform the Trust of any

           applicable state-mandated investment restrictions with which the

           Trust must comply, the Company shall arrange with the Trust to

           amend Schedule 3, pursuant to the requirements of Article XI.

 

           (b)  Should the Trust become aware of any restrictions which may

           be appropriate for inclusion in Schedule 3, the Company shall be

           informed immediately of the substance of those restrictions.

 

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

 

<PAGE>

 

accounts investing in the Trust, and to assist the Board in carrying out its

responsibilities under 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

 

<PAGE>

 

other party has failed to participate, the requesting party may initiate

arbitration 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

<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.

 

<PAGE>

 

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

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.

 

     8.2.  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

 

<PAGE>

 

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

            writing to do so on 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

 

     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.

           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").

           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

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.
