ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES AGREEMENT

This will confirm the terms of our agreement (the “Administrative Services Agreement” or the “Agreement”) dated as of January 1, 2015, by and between First Eagle Variable Funds (the “Fund”), on its behalf and on behalf of each separate investment series thereof, whether existing as of the date above or established subsequent thereto, and Jefferson National Life Insurance Company of New York (the “Insurance Company”) with respect to the Insurance Company’s provision of certain administrative services with respect to the shares of the Fund (the “Shares”).

1. Compensation and Services to be Performed.

(a) The Fund will pay the Insurance Company a fee (the “Administrative Services Payment”) for the administrative services it performs for the Fund in connection with the purchase of Shares by certain separate accounts of the Insurance Company (“Separate Accounts”) for certain variable life insurance policies or variable annuity contracts (collectively, “Variable Contracts”) issued by the Insurance Company. The Administrative Services Payment will be calculated daily and paid quarterly at the annual rate of [**] ([**] basis points) of the average daily net asset value of the respective Shares held by the Separate Accounts. For purposes of calculating the fee payable to the Insurance Company, the average daily net asset value of the Shares will be calculated in accordance with the procedure set forth in the Fund’s current Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information.

(b) The administrative services to be furnished by the Insurance Company relate to tasks incident to the relationship between the Separate Accounts and the Fund and tasks related to the placing of purchase and redemption orders on behalf of the Variable Contract owners (“Contract Owners”), including but not limited to those services listed on Schedule A attached hereto. In addition, the Insurance Company may provide such other similar services as the Fund may reasonably request from time to time to the extent the Insurance Company is permitted to do so under federal and state statutes, rules and regulations.

(c) In connection with this Administrative Services Agreement, the Insurance Company shall be deemed to be an independent contractor, and shall have no authority to act as agent for the Fund in any matter. Neither the Insurance Company nor any of its directors, officers, partners, employees or agents are authorized to make or furnish any representations concerning the Fund or the Shares, except for those representations set forth in the Fund’s current Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, or as set forth in such supplemental literature as may be authorized by the Fund in writing.

(d) The parties hereto agree that the Administrative Services Payment to Insurance Company under this Section 1 is for administrative services only and does not constitute payment in any manner for distribution services.

2. Termination:

This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect on the date first set forth above. This Agreement may be terminated at any time by either party upon ninety (90) days’ written notice to the other. In addition, either party may terminate this Agreement immediately if at any time it is determined by any federal or state regulatory authority that compensation to be paid under this Agreement is in violation of or inconsistent with any federal or state laws.

3. Amendment and Assignment:

This Agreement may not be amended or assigned except by mutual agreement of the parties, acknowledged by each in writing.

4. Representations of the Insurance Company.

(a) The Insurance Company represents to the Fund that any compensation payable to the Insurance Company in connection with the investment of its Separate Accounts’ assets in the Fund, including the compensation payable hereunder and any additional fees the Insurance Company may directly assess in connection with a Variable Contract investment, (i) will be disclosed by the Insurance Company to the Contract Owners in the prospectuses for the Separate Accounts as required by applicable laws and regulations, and (ii) will not result in an excessive fee to the Insurance Company under any provision of law, including, without limitation, NASD Conduct Rules.

(b) The Insurance Company represents and warrants that the Administrative Services Payment paid to Insurance Company pursuant to Section 1 is solely in exchange for the administrative services outline in Section 1 and will not be used or accepted in whole or in part for distribution services.

5. Written Reports.

The Insurance Company will provide the Fund with such information as the Fund may reasonably request and will cooperate with and assist the Fund in the preparation of reports, if any, to be furnished to its Board of Trustees concerning the Service Agreement and any fees or compensation paid or payable pursuant hereto, in addition to any other reports or filings that may be required by law.

6. Indemnification.
