Re:    MFS Variable Insurance Trust, MFS Variable Insurance Trust II and MFS Variable Insurance Trust III (the “Trusts”)

Dear Ms. Pulliam:

Reference is hereby made to the Participation Agreement by and among the Trusts, Jefferson National Life Insurance Company (the “Company”), and MFS Fund Distributors, Inc. (“MFD”) dated July 1, 2015 (the “Participation Agreement”). The purpose of this Letter Agreement is to confirm certain financial arrangements between MFD, the underwriter to the Trusts, and the Company in connection with the Company’s investment in the Trusts on behalf of certain separate accounts, as listed in Schedule A of the Participation Agreement.

Beginning on January 1, 2018, MFD, in consideration of the Company’s performance of the services described in Schedule A attached hereto, agrees to pay a services fee to the Company equal to, on an annualized basis [**]% of the net assets of the Trusts attributable to variable life or variable annuity contracts (“Policies”) offered by the Company.

Such fee shall be paid quarterly (on a calendar year basis) in arrears. Such fee shall continue to be due and payable for so long as Company provides the services provided in Schedule A, which is attached to and made a part of this Letter Agreement by reference with respect to Policies under which amounts are allocated to the Trust, provided, however, that no such fee shall be due and owing for any period subsequent to the termination of the Participation Agreement and provided, further, that this Letter Agreement may be terminated by MFD upon 30 days advance written notice. Upon any such termination before the end of any calendar quarter, such fees will be prorated according to the proportion that the period bears to the full quarter and will be payable upon the date of termination.

Please confirm your understanding of this arrangement by having the enclosed duplicate copy of this Letter Agreement signed where indicated below by an appropriate officer of the Company and return this duplicate copy to me.

Very truly yours,

MFS FUND DISTRIBUTORS, INC.
