ARTICLE A. Amendment and Restatement; Form of Agreement

This agreement shall amend and supersede the following Agreements as of the date stated above among the Funds, Distributor and Society with respect to all investments by the Society or its separate accounts in each Fund prior to the date of this Agreement, as though identical separate agreements had been executed by the parties hereto on the dates as indicated below.

Participation Agreement dated September 17, 2001 among Modern Woodmen of America, Fidelity Distributors Corporation (“Fidelity Distributors”) and Variable Insurance Product Fund I, II and II.

In addition, the parties hereby amend and restate their agreements herein.

Although the parties have executed this Agreement in the form of a Master Participation Agreement for administrative convenience, this Agreement shall create a separate participation agreement for each Fund, as though the Society and the Distributor had executed a separate, identical form of participation agreement with each Fund. No rights, responsibilities or liabilities of any Fund shall be attributed to any other Fund.

ARTICLE I. Sale of Fund Shares

1.1. The Underwriter agrees to sell to the Society those shares of the Fund which each Account orders, executing such orders on a daily basis at the net asset value next computed after receipt by the Fund or its designee of the order for the shares of the Fund. For purposes of this Section 1.1, the Society shall be the designee of the Fund for receipt of such orders from each Account and receipt by such designee shall constitute receipt by the Fund; provided that the Fund receives notice of such order by 10:00 a.m. Boston time on the next following Business Day. Beginning within three months of the effective date of this Agreement, the Society agrees that all order for the purchase and redemption of Fund shares on behalf of the Accounts will be placed by the Society with the Funds or their transfer agent by electronic transmission. “Business Day” shall mean any day on which the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading and on which the Fund calculates its net asset value pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

1.2. The Fund agrees to make its shares available indefinitely for purchase at the applicable net asset value per share by the Society and its Accounts on those days on which the Fund calculates its net asset value pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Fund shall use reasonable efforts to calculate such net asset value on each day which the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board of Trustees of the Fund (hereinafter the “Board”) may refuse to sell shares of any Portfolio to any person, or suspend or terminate the offering of shares of any Portfolio if such action is required by law or by regulatory authorities having jurisdiction or is, in the sole discretion of the Board acting in good faith and in light of their fiduciary duties under federal and any applicable state laws, necessary in the best interests of the shareholders of such Portfolio.

1.3. The Fund and the Underwriter agree that shares of the Fund will be sold only to Participating Insurance Companies and their separate accounts. No shares of any Portfolio will be sold to the general public.

1.4. The Fund and the Underwriter will not sell Fund shares to any insurance company or separate account unless an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as Articles I, III, V, VII and Section 2.5 of Article II of this Agreement is in effect to govern such sales.

1.5. The Fund agrees to redeem for cash, on the Society’s request, any full or fractional shares of the Fund held by the Society, executing such requests on a daily basis at the net asset value next computed after receipt by the Fund or its designee of the request for redemption. For purposes of this Section 1.5, the Society shall be the designee of the Fund for receipt of requests for redemption from each Account and receipt by such designee shall constitute receipt by the Fund; provided that the Fund receives notice of such request for redemption on the next following Business Day.

1.6. The Society agrees that purchases and redemptions of Portfolio shares offered by the then current prospectus of the Fund shall be made in accordance with the provisions of such prospectus. The Society agrees that all net amounts available under the Contracts shall be invested in the Fund, in such other Funds advised by the Adviser as may be mutually agreed to in writing by the parties hereto, or in the Society’s general account, provided that such amounts may also be invested in an investment company other than the Fund if (a) such other investment company, or series thereof, has investment objectives or policies that are substantially different from the investment objectives and policies of all the Portfolios of the Fund; or (b) the Society gives the Fund and the Underwriter 45 days written notice of its intention to make such other investment company available as a funding vehicle for the Contracts; or (c) such other investment company was available as a funding vehicle for the Contracts prior to the date of this Agreement and the Society so informs the Fund and Underwriter prior to their signing this Agreement (a list of such funds appearing on Schedule C to this Agreement); or (d) the Fund or Underwriter consents to the use of such other investment company.

1.7. The Society shall pay for Fund shares on the next Business Day after an order to purchase Fund shares is made in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.1 hereof.

Payment shall be in federal funds transmitted by wire. For purpose of Section 2.10 and 2.11, upon receipt by the Fund of the federal funds so wired, such funds shall cease to be the responsibility of the Society and shall become the responsibility of the Fund.

1.8. Issuance and transfer of the Fund’s shares will be by book entry only. Stock certificates will not be issued to the Society or any Account. Shares ordered from the Fund will be recorded in an appropriate title for each Account or the appropriate subaccount of each Account.

1.9. The Fund shall furnish same day notice (by wire or telephone, followed by written confirmation) to the Society of any income, dividends or capital gain distributions payable on the Fund’s shares. The Society hereby elects to receive all such income dividends and capital gain distributions as are payable on the Portfolio shares in additional shares of that Portfolio. The Society reserves the right to revoke this election and to receive all such income dividends and capital gain distributions in cash. The Fund shall notify the Society of the number of shares so issued as payment of such dividends and distributions.

1.10. The Fund shall make the net asset value per share for each Portfolio available to the Society on a daily basis as soon as reasonably practical after the net asset value per share is calculated (normally by 6:30 p.m. Boston time) and shall use its best efforts to make such net asset value per share available by 7 p.m. Boston time.

1.11 The parties agree that the Contracts are not intended to serve as vehicles for frequent transfers among the Portfolios in response to short-term stock market fluctuations.

A. Accordingly, Society represents and warrants that:

(a) all purchase and redemption orders it provides under this Article I shall result solely from Contract Owner transactions fully received and recorded by Society before the time as of which each applicable VIP Portfolio net asset value was calculated (currently 4:00 p.m. e.s.t);

(b) it will use its best efforts to discourage market timing and other excessive or disruptive trading activity by third parties with power to act on behalf of multiple contract owners and by individual contract owners;

(c) any annuity contract forms or variable life insurance policy forms not in use at the time of execution of this Agreement, but added to in the future via amendment of Schedule A hereto, will contain language reserving to Society the right to refuse to accept instructions from persons that engage in market timing or other excessive or disruptive trading activity.

B. The Fund agrees to notify Society of transfer activity that the Fund or Underwriter deems to be excessive or disruptive (“Abusive Transfer Activity”). After receiving such notice from the Fund, Society agrees that it will cooperate with the Fund and Underwriter to eliminate Abusive Transfers except that this provision shall not require the Society to breach any terms of its existing Contracts with Contract Owners.

C. In the event that Abusive Transfer Activity, as determined by the Trust, recurs after initial notice to Society, the Trust may then terminate the offering of any affected Portfolio to any affected Account upon sixty (60) days written notice to Society.

ARTICLE II. Representations and Warranties

The Society represents and warrants that the Contracts are or will be registered under the 1933 Act or are exempt from registration thereunder; that the Contracts will be issued and sold in compliance in all material respects with all applicable Federal and State laws and that the sale of the Contracts shall comply in all material respects with state insurance suitability requirements.

The Fund has adopted a “no fee” or “defensive” Rule 12b-1 Plan under which it makes no payments for distribution expenses.

To the extent that it decides to finance distribution expenses pursuant to Rule 12b-1, the Fund undertakes to have a board of trustees, a majority of whom are not interested persons of the Fund, formulate and approve any plan under Rule 12b-1 to finance distribution expenses.

(b) With respect to Service Class shares and Service Class 2 shares, the Fund has adopted Rule 12b-1 Plans under which it makes payments to finance distribution expenses. The Fund represents and warrants that it has a board of trustees, a majority of whom are not interested persons of the Fund, which has formulated and approved each of its Rule 12b-1 Plans to finance distribution expenses of the Fund and that any changes to the Fund’s Rule 12b-1 Plans will be approved by a similarly constituted board of trustees.

2.6. The Fund makes no representation as to whether any aspect of its operations (including, but not limited to, fees and expenses and investment policies) complies with the insurance laws or regulations of the various states except that the Fund represents that the Fund’s investment policies, fees and expenses are and shall at all times remain in compliance with the laws of the State of Illinois and the Fund and the Underwriter represent that their respective operations are and shall at all times remain in material compliance with the laws of the State of Illinois to the extent required to perform this Agreement.

2.7. The Underwriter represents and warrants that it is a member in good standing of the NASD and is registered as a broker-dealer with the SEC. The Underwriter further represents that it will sell and distribute the Fund shares in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and all applicable state and federal securities laws, including without limitation the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, and the 0000 Xxx.

securities of the Fund are covered by a blanket fidelity bond or similar coverage for the benefit of the Fund, and that said bond is issued by a reputable bonding company, includes coverage for larceny and embezzlement, and is in an amount not less than $5 million. The Society agrees to make all reasonable efforts to see that this bond or another bond containing these provisions is always in effect, and agrees to notify the Fund and the Underwriter in the event that such coverage no longer applies.

ARTICLE III. Prospectuses and Proxy Statements; Voting

3.1. The Underwriter shall provide the Society with as many printed copies of the Fund’s current prospectus and Statement of Additional Information as the Society may reasonably request. If requested by the Society in lieu thereof, the Fund shall provide camera-ready film containing the Fund’s prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, and such other assistance as is reasonably necessary in order for the Society once each year (or more frequently if the prospectus and/or Statement of Additional Information for the Fund is amended during the year) to have the prospectus, private offering memorandum or other disclosure document (“Disclosure Document”) for the Contracts and the Fund’s prospectus printed together in one document, and to have the Statement of Additional Information for the Fund and the Statement of Additional Information for the Contracts printed together in one document. Alternatively, the Society may print the Fund’s prospectus and/or its Statement of Additional Information in combination with other fund companies’ prospectuses and statements of additional information. Except as provided in the following three sentences, all expenses of printing and distributing Fund prospectuses and Statements of Additional Information shall be the expense of the Society. For prospectuses and Statements of Additional Information provided by the Society to its existing owners of Contracts in order to update disclosure annually as required by the 1933 Act and/or the 1940 Act, the cost of printing shall be borne by the Fund. If the Society chooses to receive camera-ready film in lieu of receiving printed copies of the Fund’s prospectus, the Fund will reimburse the Society in an amount equal to the product of A and B where A is the number of such prospectuses distributed to owners of the Contracts, and B is the Fund’s per unit cost of typesetting and printing the Fund’s prospectus. The same procedures shall be followed with respect to the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information.

The Society agrees to provide the Fund or its designee with such information as may be reasonably requested by the Fund to assure that the Fund’s expenses do not include the cost of printing any prospectuses or Statements of Additional Information other than those actually distributed to existing owners of the Contracts.

3.2. The Fund’s prospectus shall state that the Statement of Additional Information for the Fund is available from the Underwriter or the Society (or in the Fund’s discretion, the Prospectus shall state that such Statement is available from the Fund).

3.3. The Fund, at its expense, shall provide the Society with copies of its proxy statements, reports to shareholders, and other communications (except for prospectuses and

Statements of Additional Information, which are covered in Section 3.1) to shareholders in such quantity as the Society shall reasonably require for distributing to Contract owners.

3.4. If and to the extent required by law the Society shall:

(i)

solicit voting instructions from Contract owners;

(ii)

vote the Fund shares in accordance with instructions received from Contract owners; and

(iii)

vote Fund shares for which no instructions have been received in a particular separate account in the same proportion as Fund shares of such portfolio for which instructions have been received in that separate account,

so long as and to the extent that the Securities and Exchange Commission continues to interpret the 1940 Act to require pass-through voting privileges for variable contract owners. The Society reserves the right to vote Fund shares held in any segregated asset account in its own right, to the extent permitted by law. Participating Insurance Companies shall be responsible for assuring that each of their separate accounts participating in the Fund calculates voting privileges in a manner consistent with the standards set forth on Schedule B attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference, which standards will also be provided to the other Participating Insurance Companies.

3.5. The Fund will comply with all provisions of the 1940 Act requiring voting by shareholders, and in particular the Fund will either provide for annual meetings or comply with Section 16(c) of the 1940 Act (although the Fund is not one of the trusts described in Section 16(c) of that Act) as well as with Sections 16(a) and, if and when applicable, 16(b). Further, the Fund will act in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s interpretation of the requirements of Section 16(a) with respect to periodic elections of trustees and with whatever rules the Commission may promulgate with respect thereto.

The Fund and the Underwriter shall not be responsible for the costs of any proxy solicitations other than proxies sponsored by the Fund.

ARTICLE VI. Diversification

6.1. The Fund will at all times invest money from the Contracts in such a manner as to ensure that the Contracts will be treated as variable contracts under the Code and the regulations issued thereunder. Without limiting the scope of the foregoing, the Fund will at all times comply with Section 817(h) of the Code and Treasury Regulation 1.817-5, relating to the diversification requirements for variable annuity, endowment, or life insurance contracts and any amendments or other modifications to such Section or Regulations. In the event of a breach of this Article VI by the Fund, it will take all reasonable steps (a) to notify Society of such breach and (b) to adequately diversify the Fund so as to achieve compliance within the grace period afforded by Regulation 1.817-5.

ARTICLE VII. Potential Conflicts

7.1. The Board will monitor the Fund for the existence of any material irreconcilable conflict between the interests of the contract owners of all separate accounts investing in the Fund. An irreconcilable material conflict may arise for a variety of reasons, including: (a) an action by any state insurance regulatory authority; (b) a change in applicable federal or state insurance, tax, or securities laws or regulations, or a public ruling, private letter ruling, no-action or interpretative letter, or any similar action by insurance, tax, or securities regulatory authorities; (c) an administrative or judicial decision in any relevant proceeding; (d) the manner in which the investments of any Portfolio are being managed; (e) a difference in voting instructions given by variable annuity contract and variable life insurance contract owners; or (f) a decision by an insurer to disregard the voting instructions of contract owners. The Board shall promptly inform the Society if it determines that an irreconcilable material conflict exists and the implications thereof.

7.2. The Society will report any potential or existing conflicts of which it is aware to the Board. The Society will assist the Board in carrying out its responsibilities under the Shared Funding Exemptive Order, by providing the Board with all information reasonably necessary for the Board to consider any issues raised. This includes, but is not limited to, an obligation by the Society to inform the Board whenever contract owner voting instructions are disregarded.

7.3. If it is determined by a majority of the Board, or a majority of its disinterested trustees, that a material irreconcilable conflict exists, the Society and other Participating Insurance Companies shall, at their expense and to the extent reasonably practicable (as determined by a majority of the disinterested trustees), take whatever steps are necessary to remedy or eliminate the irreconcilable material conflict, up to and including: (1), withdrawing the assets allocable to some or all of the separate accounts from the Fund or any Portfolio and reinvesting such assets in a different investment medium, including (but not limited to) another Portfolio of the Fund, or submitting the question whether such segregation should be implemented to a vote of all affected Contract owners and, as appropriate, segregating the assets of any appropriate group (i.e., annuity contract owners, life insurance contract owners, or variable contract owners of one or more Participating Insurance Companies) that votes in favor of such segregation, or offering to the affected contract owners the option of making such a change; and (2), establishing a new registered management investment company or managed separate account.

7.4. If a material irreconcilable conflict arises because of a decision by the Society to disregard contract owner voting instructions and that decision represents a minority position or would preclude a majority vote, the Society may be required, at the Fund’s election, to withdraw the affected Account’s investment in the Fund and terminate this Agreement with respect to such Account; provided, however that such withdrawal and termination shall be limited to the extent required by the foregoing material irreconcilable conflict as determined by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board. Any such withdrawal and termination must take place within six (6) months after the Fund gives written notice that this provision is being

implemented, and until the end of that six month period the Underwriter and Fund shall continue to accept and implement orders by the Society for the purchase (and redemption) of shares of the Fund.

7.5. If a material irreconcilable conflict arises because a particular state insurance regulator’s decision applicable to the Society conflicts with the majority of other state regulators, then the Society will withdraw the affected Account’s investment in the Fund and terminate this Agreement with respect to such Account within six months after the Board informs the Society in writing that it has determined that such decision has created an irreconcilable material conflict; provided, however, that such withdrawal and termination shall be limited to the extent required by the foregoing material irreconcilable conflict as determined by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board. Until the end of the foregoing six month period, the Underwriter and Fund shall continue to accept and implement orders by the Society for the purchase (and redemption) of shares of the Fund.

7.6. For purposes of Sections 7.3 through 7.6 of this Agreement, a majority of the disinterested members of the Board shall determine whether any proposed action adequately remedies any irreconcilable material conflict, but in no event will the Fund be required to establish a new funding medium for the Contracts. The Society shall not be required by Section 7.3 to establish a new funding medium for the Contracts if an offer to do so has been declined by vote of a majority of Contract owners materially adversely affected by the irreconcilable material conflict. In the event that the Board determines that any proposed action does not adequately remedy any irreconcilable material conflict, then the Society will withdraw the Account’s investment in the Fund and terminate this Agreement within six (6) months after the Board informs the Society in writing of the foregoing determination, provided, however, that such withdrawal and termination shall be limited to the extent required by any such material irreconcilable conflict as determined by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board.

7.7. If and to the extent that Rule 6e-2 and Rule 6e-3(T) are amended, or Rule 6e-3 is adopted, to provide exemptive relief from any provision of the Act or the rules promulgated thereunder with respect to mixed or shared funding (as defined in the Shared Funding Exemptive Order) on terms and conditions materially different from those contained in the Shared Funding Exemptive Order, then (a) the Fund and/or the Participating Insurance Companies, as appropriate, shall take such steps as may be necessary to comply with Rules 6e-2 and 6e-3(T), as amended, and Rule 6e-3, as adopted, to the extent such rules are applicable; and (b) Sections 3.4, 3.5, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, and 7.5 of this Agreement shall continue in effect only to the extent that terms and conditions substantially identical to such Sections are contained in such Rule(s) as so amended or adopted.

(iii) arise out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a Registration Statement, prospectus, or sales literature of the Fund 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 if such a statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Fund by or on behalf of the Society; or

8.1(b). The Society shall not be liable under this indemnification provision with respect to any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or litigation incurred or assessed against an Indemnified Party as such may arise from such Indemnified Party’s willful misfeasance, bad faith, or gross negligence in the performance of such Indemnified Party’s duties or by reason of such Indemnified Party’s reckless disregard of obligations or duties under this Agreement or to the Fund, whichever is applicable.

PROXY VOTING PROCEDURE

The following is a list of procedures and corresponding responsibilities for the handling of proxies relating to the Fund by the Underwriter, the Fund and the Society. The defined terms herein shall have the meanings assigned in the Participation Agreement except that the term “Society” shall also include the department or third party assigned by Modern Woodmen of America to perform the steps delineated below.

The number of proxy proposals is given to the Society by the Underwriter as early as possible before the date set by the Fund for the shareholder meeting to facilitate the establishment of tabulation procedures. At this time the Underwriter will inform the Society of the Record, Mailing and Meeting dates. This will be done verbally approximately two months before meeting.

Promptly after the Record Date, the Society will perform a “tape run”, or other activity, which will generate the names, addresses and number of units which are attributed to each contractowner/policyholder (the “Customer”) as of the Record Date. Allowance should be made for account adjustments made after this date that could affect the status of the Customers’ accounts as of the Record Date.

Note: The number of proxy statements is determined by the activities described in Step #2. The Society will use its best efforts to call in the number of Customers to Fidelity, as soon as possible, but no later than two weeks after the Record Date.

The Fund’s Annual Report no longer needs to be sent to each Customer by the Society either before or together with the Customers’ receipt of a proxy statement. Underwriter will provide the last Annual Report to the Society pursuant to the terms of Section 3.3 of the Agreement to which this Schedule relates.

The text and format for the Voting Instruction Cards (“Cards” or “Card”) is provided to the Society by the Fund. The Society, at its expense, shall produce and personalize the Voting Instruction Cards. The Legal Department of the Underwriter or its affiliate (“Fidelity Legal”) must approve the Card before it is printed. Allow approximately 2-4 business days for printing information on the Cards. Information commonly found on the Cards includes:

name (legal name as found on account registration)

address

Fund or account number

coding to state number of units

individual Card number for use in tracking and verification of votes (already on Cards as printed by the Fund)

(This and related steps may occur later in the chronological process due to possible uncertainties relating to the proposals.)

During this time, Fidelity Legal will develop, produce, and the Fund will pay for the Notice of Proxy and the Proxy Statement (one document). Printed and folded notices and statements will be sent to Society for insertion into envelopes (envelopes and return envelopes are provided and paid for by the Modern Woodmen of America). Contents of envelope sent to Customers by Society will include:

Voting Instruction Card(s)

One proxy notice and statement (one document)

return envelope (postage pre-paid by Society) addressed to the Society or its tabulation agent

“urge buckslip”-optional, but recommended. (This is a small, single sheet of paper that requests Customers to vote as quickly as possible and that their vote is important. One copy will be supplied by the Fund.)

cover letter-optional, supplied by Society and reviewed and approved in advance by Fidelity Legal.

6.	The above contents should be received by the Society approximately 3-5 business days before mail date. Individual in charge at Society reviews and approves the contents of the mailing package to ensure correctness and completeness. Copy of this approval sent to Fidelity Legal.

7.	Package mailed by the Society.

The Fund must allow at least a 15-day solicitation time to the Society as the shareowner. (A 5-week period is recommended.) Solicitation time is calculated as calendar days from (but not including) the meeting, counting backwards.

8.	Collection and tabulation of Cards begins. Tabulation usually takes place in another department or another vendor depending on process used. An often used procedure is to sort Cards on arrival by proposal into vote categories of all yes, no, or mixed replies, and to begin data entry.

Note: Postmarks are not generally needed. A need for postmark information would be due to an insurance company’s internal procedure and has not been required by Fidelity in the past.

9.	Signatures on Card checked against legal name on account registration which was printed on the Card.

Note: For Example, If the account registration is under “Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxx, Trustee,” then that is the exact legal name to be printed on the Card and is the signature needed on the Card.

10.

If Cards are mutilated, or for any reason are illegible or are not signed properly, they are sent back to Customer with an explanatory letter, a new Card and return envelope. The mutilated or illegible Card is disregarded and considered to be not received for purposes of vote tabulation. Any Cards that have “kicked out” (e.g. mutilated, illegible) of the procedure are “hand verified,” i.e., examined as to why they did not complete the system. Any questions on those Cards are usually remedied individually.

11.

There are various control procedures used to ensure proper tabulation of votes and accuracy of that tabulation. The most prevalent is to sort the Cards as they first arrive into categories depending upon their vote; an estimate of how the vote is progressing may then be calculated. If the initial estimates and the actual vote do not coincide, then an internal audit of that vote should occur. This may entail a recount.

12.	The actual tabulation of votes is done in units which is then converted to shares. (It is very important that the Fund receives the tabulations stated in terms of a percentage and the number of shares.) Fidelity Legal must review and approve tabulation format.

13.	Final tabulation in shares is verbally given by the Society to Fidelity Legal on the morning of the meeting not later than 10:00 a.m. Boston time. Fidelity Legal may request an earlier deadline if required to calculate the vote in time for the meeting.

14.	A Certification of Mailing and Authorization to Vote Shares will be required from the Society as well as an original copy of the final vote. Fidelity Legal will provide a standard form for each Certification.

15.	The Society will be required to box and archive the Cards received from the Customers. In the event that any vote is challenged or if otherwise necessary for legal, regulatory, or accounting purposes, Fidelity Legal will be permitted reasonable access to such Cards.

16.	All approvals and “signing-off” may be done orally, but must always be followed up in writing.
