Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Company shall be authorized to, and agrees, to act as a limited agent of W&R for purposes of Rule 22c-1 under the 1940 Act and to the extent permitted by applicable law, for the sole purpose of receiving instructions for the purchase and redemption of Portfolio shares (from or on behalf of Contract Owners or participants making investment allocation decisions under the Contracts) prior to the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), normally 3:00 p.m. Central Time ("Pricing Time") each Business Day. "Business Day" shall mean any day on which the NYSE is open for trading and on which the Portfolios calculate their net asset value as set forth in the Portfolios' most recent Prospectuses and SAIs. Except as particularly stated in this paragraph, Company shall have no authority to act on behalf of W&R or Ivy Funds VIP or to incur any cost or liability on its behalf.
4.	AVAILABLE PORTFOLIOS.
	(a)	AVAILABILITY. Ivy Funds VIP will make shares of the Portfolios available to Company and its Variable Accounts for purchase and redemption at the applicable net asset value and with no sales charges on those days on which the Portfolios calculate their net asset value pursuant to the rules of the SEC, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board of Directors of Ivy Funds VIP ("Board") may refuse to sell shares of any Portfolio to any person or suspend or terminate the offering of shares of any Portfolio (a) if such action is required by law or by regulatory authorities having jurisdiction, (b) if, 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, the Board deems such action to be in the best interests of the shareholders of such Portfolio, or (c) if such action is required by any policies that the Board has adopted and that apply to all Participating Insurance Companies. Further, it is acknowledged and agreed that the availability of Portfolio shares shall be subject to Ivy Funds VIP's current Prospectus and SAI and to federal and state laws, rules and regulations.
	(b)	ADDITION, DELETION OR MODIFICATION OF PORTFOLIOS. W&R and/or Ivy Funds VIP may, from time to time, add other Portfolios to provide additional funding media for the Contracts, or to delete, combine or modify existing Portfolios, by amending Exhibit B hereto. W&R and/or Ivy Funds VIP reserve the right to amend Exhibit B in their sole and exclusive discretion upon written notice to Company. W&R and/or Ivy Funds VIP will use reasonable efforts to provide written notice to Company at least thirty (30) days prior to the date of deletion of any Portfolio offered through the Contracts. Upon such amendment to Exhibit B, any applicable reference to a Portfolio, Ivy Funds VIP or its shares herein shall include a reference to any such additional Portfolio.
	(c)	NO SALES TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC. Ivy Funds VIP represents and warrants that shares of the Portfolios will be sold only to insurance companies and/or their separate accounts funding variable life insurance policies and/or variable annuity contracts or to other persons or entities permitted under Section 817 of the Code, or regulations promulgated thereunder. Ivy Funds VIP represents and warrants that no shares of any Portfolio have been or will be sold to the general public.
5.	PROCESSING OF PORTFOLIO PURCHASE AND REDEMPTION REQUESTS.
	(a)	PRICING INFORMATION. Ivy Funds VIP or its agents will use reasonable best efforts to provide closing net asset value, change in net asset value, dividend or daily accrual rate information and capital gain information by 6:00 p.m. Central Time each Business Day to Company. Company shall use this data to calculate unit values for its Variable Accounts. Unit values shall be used to process that same Business Day's Variable Account transactions. In the event adjustments to transactions previously effected on behalf of a Variable Account are required to correct any material error in the computation of the net asset value of a Portfolio's shares, Ivy Funds VIP or its agent shall notify Company promptly upon discovering the need for those adjustments which result in a reimbursement to a Variable Account in accordance with Ivy Funds VIP's then current policies on reimbursement, which Ivy Funds VIP represents are consistent with applicable SEC standards. Such notification may be oral, but shall be confirmed promptly in writing. If an adjustment is to be made in accordance with such policies to correct an error which has caused a Variable Account to receive an amount different than that to which it is entitled, Ivy Funds VIP or its agent shall make all necessary adjustments to the number of shares owned by the Variable Account and distribute to the Variable Account the amount of such underpayment for credit by the Company to affected Contract Owners. W&R and Ivy Funds VIP shall not be responsible for payment of any costs of reprocessing transactions in units issued by a Variable Account (or a sub-account of a Variable Account) under the Contracts arising out of an error in the calculation of a Portfolio's net asset value, dividends or capital gains distributions if such error is discovered and corrected within five (5) Business Days; however, in the event that the error causes the Company to incur any direct costs for reprocessing Contract accounts, such as preparing and mailing revised statements, W&R and/or Ivy Funds VIP shall reimburse the Company for all such reasonable costs. The Company agrees to use its best efforts to minimize any costs incurred under this paragraph and shall provide W&R with acceptable documentation of any such costs incurred.
	(b)	PLACING OF ORDERS BY COMPANY. All orders shall be communicated by the Company through the National Securities Clearing Corporation's ("NSCC") Fund/SERV system. The following information shall be supplied by the Company at the time each order is placed: (i) total purchases for each Portfolio (including all purchase, exchange and transfer orders received net by the Company resulting in purchases of Portfolio shares); (ii) total redemptions for each Portfolio (including all redemption, exchange and transfer orders received by the Company resulting in redemptions of Portfolio shares); and (iii) such other information required by NSCC or reasonably requested by W&R. Orders for purchases or redemptions shall be placed by Company with W&R or its specified agent in a manner and format determined by W&R no later than 8:30 a.m. Central Time on the following Business Day using the NSCC format unless an exception procedure is necessary. The Company may place purchase and/or redemption orders on the following Business Day for shares of the Portfolios that it receives prior to the Pricing Time each Business Day. The Company will not aggregate pre-Pricing Time trades with post-Pricing Time trades.
	(c)	PROCESSING OF ORDERS. To the extent permitted by applicable law, orders for shares of Portfolios received by Company prior to the Pricing Time on a Business Day and received by W&R by 8:30 a.m. Central time on the following Business Day shall be executed at the time they are received by W&R and at the net asset value price determined as of the close of trading on the previous Business Day, provided that Company represents it has received such orders prior to the close of the NYSE on the previous Business Day. In connection with this Section 5(c), Company represents and warrants that it will not submit any order for shares of a Portfolio or engage in any practice, nor will it allow any person acting on its behalf to submit any order for shares of a Portfolio or engage in any practice, that would violate or cause a violation of Section 22 of the 1940 Act or Rule 22c-1 thereunder. W&R will not accept any order made on a conditional basis or subject to any delay or contingency. Company shall only place purchase orders for shares of Portfolios on behalf of its customers whose addresses recorded on Company's books are in a state or other jurisdiction in which the Portfolios are registered or qualified for sale, or are exempt from registration or qualification as confirmed in writing by W&R.
	(d)	PAYMENT FOR SHARES. Payment for net purchases shall be settled through the NSCC. For exception settlements, the Company will wire payment for net purchases to a custodian account designated by Ivy Funds VIP by 5:00 p.m. Central Time on the same day as the order for Portfolio shares is placed, to the extent practicable. Ivy Funds VIP will wire payment for net redemptions to an account designated by Company by 5:00 p.m. Central Time on the same day as the order is placed, to the extent practicable, but in any event within five (5) calendar days after the date the order is placed in order to enable Company to pay redemption proceeds within the time specified in Section 22(e) of the 1940 Act or such period of time as may be required by law. Net purchase orders are subject to cancellation at the option of W&R and/or Ivy Funds VIP in the event that payment is not received within two (2) Business Days following receipt of the order by Ivy Funds VIP. Company shall indemnify W&R and Ivy Funds VIP for any losses incurred in connection with a cancelled order.
	(e)	DIVIDEND AND CAPITAL GAIN DISTRIBUTIONS. Dividends and capital gain distributions shall be reinvested in additional Portfolio shares at net asset value. Notwithstanding the above, W&R shall not be held responsible for providing Company with ex-date net asset value, change in net asset value, dividend or capital gain information when the NYSE is closed, when an emergency exists making the valuation of net assets not reasonably practicable, or during any period when the SEC has by order permitted the suspension of pricing shares for the protection of shareholders. Ivy Funds VIP shall furnish, on or before the ex-dividend date, but no later than receipt of the ex-dividend date net asset value, notice to Company of any income dividends or capital gain distributions payable on the shares of the Portfolios. Company hereby elects to receive all such income dividends and capital gain distributions as are payable on a Portfolio's shares in additional shares of the Portfolio. Ivy Funds VIP shall notify Company of the number of shares so issued as payment of such dividends and distributions.
	(f)	ISSUANCE OF SHARES. Issuance and transfer of Portfolio shares will be by book entry only. Share certificates will not be issued to Company for any Variable Account. Portfolio shares will be recorded in the appropriate title for each Variable Account.

11.	MIXED AND SHARED FUNDING.
	(a)	GENERAL.

	(b)	INFORMATION REQUESTED BY BOARD. Company and Ivy Funds VIP (or its agent) will at least annually submit to the Board such reports, materials or data as the Board may reasonably request so that the Board may fully carry out the obligations imposed upon it by the provisions hereof or any exemptive order granted by the SEC to permit Mixed and Shared Funding, and said reports, materials and data will be submitted at any reasonable time deemed appropriate by the Board.
12.	TERMINATION.
	(a)	EVENTS OF TERMINATION. This Agreement shall terminate as to the sale and issuance of Portfolio(s) shares:

		(2)	at any time with respect only to an applicable Portfolio(s), upon W&R's election, if Ivy Funds VIP determines that liquidation of the Portfolio(s) is in the best interest of the Portfolio(s) and its (their) beneficial owners. Reasonable advance notice of election to liquidate shall be furnished by W&R to permit the substitution of Portfolio shares with the shares of another investment company;
		(3)	if the Contracts are not treated as annuity contracts or life insurance policies by the applicable regulators or under applicable rules or regulations;

		(5)	with respect only to the applicable Portfolio(s), upon a decision by Company based on reasonable cause, in accordance with applicable law, to substitute such Portfolio shares with the shares of another investment company for Contracts for which the Portfolio shares have been selected to serve as the underlying investment medium. Company shall give at least sixty (60) days written notice to Ivy Funds VIP and W&R of any decision to substitute Portfolio shares; such reasonable cause shall include but not be limited to changes in the Portfolio's investment strategy, management or performance;
		(6)	upon sixty (60) days notice upon assignment of this Agreement unless such assignment is made with the written consent of each other party;
		(7)	in the event Portfolio shares are not registered, issued or sold pursuant to Federal law, or such law precludes the use of Portfolio shares as an underlying investment medium of Contracts issued or to be issued by Company. Prompt written notice shall be given by either party to the other in the event the conditions of this provision occur; and
		(8)	at the option of any party to this Agreement, upon another party's material breach of any provision of this Agreement.
	(b)	NOTICE REQUIREMENT. In the event of any termination of this Agreement at the option of one of the parties, prompt written notice of the election to terminate this Agreement shall be furnished by the party terminating the Agreement to the non-terminating parties.
	(c)	PORTFOLIOS TO REMAIN AVAILABLE; EFFECT OF TERMINATION. Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement by Company, Ivy Funds VIP will, at the option of Company, continue to make available additional shares of any Portfolio offered under a Contract pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, for any Contract that is in effect on the effective date of termination of this Agreement and that offers the particular Portfolio(s) as an investment option under the Contract as of that date (hereinafter referred to as "Existing Contracts"), unless W&R or the Board determines that doing so would not serve the best interests of the shareholders of the affected Portfolio(s) or would be inconsistent with applicable law or regulation. Specifically, without limitation, the owners of the Existing Contracts will be permitted to reallocate investments in the Portfolio(s) (as in effect on such date), redeem investments in the Portfolio(s) and/or invest in the Portfolio(s) upon the making of additional purchase payments under the Existing Contracts. The parties agree that this Section 12 will not apply to any (i) terminations under Section 11 and the effect of such terminations will be governed by Section 11 of this Agreement or (ii) any rejected purchase and/or redemption order as described in Section 2(i) hereof. If Company elects to continue to make available Portfolio shares to Contract Owners after the effective date of termination of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 12(c), all provisions of this Agreement will survive any termination of this Agreement solely with respect to transactions in such Portfolio shares under the Existing Contracts.

Fees or Other Compensation

           Company shall provide the administrative services set out in Schedule A hereto and made a part hereof, as the same may be amended from time to time. For such services, W&R agrees to pay to Company as follows:

(a)

Assets Under Management. Each quarter, W&R shall calculate and pay to Company a fee that shall be equal to 0.25%, or Twenty-Five (_25__) basis points, on an annualized basis, of the average daily account value of all assets in the Portfolios in connection with the Contracts ("Aggregated Assets"), provided, however, that the fee is subject to change pursuant to Paragraph (b) below. The fee (the "Total Fee") shall include and not be in addition to the payment by W&R of the 12b-1 fees received by W&R from Ivy Funds VIP relating to the Aggregated Assets.

(b)

Changes in Law. If a change in the law requires a reduction in the fees paid by a pooled investment vehicle pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (or its functional equivalent), and if Ivy Funds VIP is required to reduce the 12b-1 fees it pays that are based upon the value of the Aggregated Assets as a result of such change in the law, then there shall be a corresponding reduction in the amount of the Total Fee due pursuant to above.

The parties to this Agreement recognize and agree that W&R's payments hereunder are for administrative services and personal Contract Owner services (as described in Schedule A) only and do not constitute payment in any manner for investment advisory services or for costs of distribution of Contracts or of Portfolio shares, and are not otherwise related to investment advisory or distribution services or expenses. The Company represents and warrants that the fees to be paid by W&R for services to be rendered by Company pursuant to the terms of this Agreement are to compensate Company for providing administrative services to Ivy Funds VIP and for providing personal services to Contract Owners as described in Schedule A, and are not designed to reimburse or compensate Company for providing any other services with respect to the Contracts or any Variable Account.

Expenses for the respective obligations of each party incident to its performance under the Agreement shall be as set forth in SCHEDULE B, attached.
