ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICE AGREEMENT

This Administrative Service Agreement (the “Agreement”), effective January 11, 2010, is made by and between Nationwide Financial Services, Inc. (“NFS”) and ProFunds (the “Trust”), for itself and on behalf of its series set forth on Exhibit A, which may be amended from time to time (each, a “Fund” and together, the “Funds”);

WHEREAS, NFS or its designee provide certain administrative services to the owners of certain variable annuity contracts and/or variable life insurance policies (collectively, the “Variable Products”) issued by Nationwide Life Insurance Company, Nationwide Life and Annuity Insurance Company, Nationwide Life Insurance Company of America and/or Nationwide Life and Annuity Company of America (collectively, “Nationwide”) through certain Nationwide Variable Accounts; and

WHEREAS, the Funds will be included as underlying investment options for the Variable Products issued by Nationwide through the Variable Accounts pursuant to a Fund Participation Agreement previously or contemporaneously entered into by Nationwide and the distributor of the Funds’ shares; and

WHEREAS, the Trust recognizes substantial savings of administrative expenses as a result of NFS or its subsidiaries performing certain administrative services (“Services”) on behalf of the Funds; and

NOW, THEREFORE, NFS and the Trust, in consideration of the undertaking described herein, agree that the Funds will be available as underlying investment options in the Variable Products issued by Nationwide, subject to the following:

1.	NFS or its designee agrees to provide Services for the contract owners of the Variable Products who choose the Funds as underlying investment options. Such Services will include those described on Exhibit B.

In consideration for the Services to be provided by NFS to the Variable Products pursuant to this Agreement, the Trust will calculate and pay NFS a fee (“Service Fee”) at an annualized rate equal to the rates shown on Exhibit A of the average daily net assets of each Fund held by the Variable Accounts during the period in which they were earned. The Service Fee shall be the sum of the 12b-1 Fee and Administrative Fee.

3.	The Service Fees will be paid to NFS as soon as practicable, but no later than 30 days after the end of the period in which they were earned. The Service Fees will be paid on a quarterly or monthly basis.

4.	NFS and the Trust agree that the Service Fee described in this Agreement is for administrative and distribution services only and does not constitute payment in any manner for investment advisory services.

The parties agree that a Service Fee will be paid to NFS according to this Agreement with respect to each Fund as long as shares of such Fund are held by the Variable Accounts. This provision will survive termination of this Agreement and the termination of the related Fund Participation Agreement(s) with Nationwide.

Either party may terminate this Agreement by at least 90 days’ written notice to the other. In addition, NFS or the Trust may terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice to the other: (1) if required by any applicable law or regulation; (2) if NFS or the Trust engage in any material breach of this Agreement; or (3) in the event of an assignment as defined by Section 2(a)(4) of the Investment Company Act of 1940. This Agreement will terminate immediately and automatically with respect to Funds held in the Variable Accounts upon the termination of the Fund Participation Agreement which governs a Fund’s inclusion as an underlying investment option in the Variable Products and in such event no notice is required under this Agreement.
