SERVICES AGREEMENT

[ ] Class [ ] Shares of FUND

This Agreement is made as of July 27, 2011, by and among Rydex Distributors, LLC (“DISTRIBUTOR”), a Kansas limited liability company and Jefferson National Life Insurance Company (the “Company”), a Texas corporation.

WHEREAS, DISTRIBUTOR and the Company have entered into a Participation Agreement dated                     , as may be amended from time to time (the “Participation Agreement”), pursuant to which, the Company, on behalf of certain of its separate accounts (the “Separate Accounts”), purchases shares (“Shares”) of certain Portfolios of Rydex Variable Trust and SBL Fund (each a “Fund”) (“Portfolios”) to serve as an investment vehicle under certain variable annuity and/or variable life insurance contracts (“Variable Contracts”) offered by the Company, which Portfolios may be one of several investment options available under the Variable Contracts; and

WHEREAS, DISTRIBUTOR recognizes that it will derive substantial savings in administrative expenses by virtue of having a sole shareholder rather than multiple shareholders in connection with each Separate Account’s investment in the Portfolios, and that in the course of soliciting applications for Variable Contracts, the Company will provide information about each Fund and its Portfolios from time to time, answer questions concerning each Fund and the Portfolios, including questions respecting Variable Contract owners’ interests in one or more Portfolios, and provide services respecting investments in the Portfolios; and

WHEREAS, DISTRIBUTOR wishes to compensate the Company for the efforts of the Company in providing written and oral information and services regarding each Fund to Variable Contract owners; and

WHEREAS, the following represents the collective intention and understanding of the service fee agreement between DISTRIBUTOR and the Company.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of their mutual promises, the Company and DISTRIBUTOR agree as follows:

1. Services. The Company and/or its affiliates agree to provide services (“Services”) to owners of Variable Contracts including, but not limited to: teleservicing support in connection with the Portfolios; delivery of current Fund prospectuses, periodic reports, notices, proxies and proxy statements and other informational materials; facilitation of the tabulation of Variable Contract owners’ votes in the event of a Fund shareholder vote; maintenance of Variable Contract records reflecting Shares purchased and redeemed and Share balances, and the conveyance of that information to the DISTRIBUTOR as may be reasonably requested; provision of support services, including providing information about the Funds and the Portfolios and

answering questions concerning a Fund and the Portfolios, including questions respecting Variable Contract owners’ interests in one or more Portfolios’ provision and administration of Variable Contract features for the benefit of Variable Contract owners in connection with the Portfolios, which may include fund transfers, dollar cost averaging, asset allocation, portfolio rebalancing, earnings sweep, and pre-authorized deposits and withdrawals; and provision of other services as may be agreed upon from time to time.

2. Compensation. In consideration of the services described above, DISTRIBUTOR agrees to pay the Company as described in Schedule A to this Agreement.

3. Term. This Services Agreement shall remain in full force and effect for an initial term of one year, and shall automatically renew for successive one-year periods. This Services Agreement may be terminated by either party hereto upon 30 days written notice to the other. This Services Agreement shall terminate automatically upon the redemption of all Shares held in the Separate Accounts, upon termination of the Participation Agreement, upon a material, unremedied breach of the Participation Agreement, as to a Portfolio upon termination of the investment advisory agreement between a Fund, on behalf of such Portfolio, and DISTRIBUTOR, or upon assignment of the Participation Agreement by either the Company or DISTRIBUTOR. Notwithstanding the termination of this Services Agreement, DISTRIBUTOR will continue to pay the service fees in accordance with paragraph 2 so long as net assets of the Separate Accounts remain in a Portfolio, provided such continued payment is permitted in accordance with applicable law and regulation.

4. Amendment. This Services Agreement may be amended only upon mutual agreement of the parties hereto in writing.

5. Effect on Other Terms, Obligations and Covenants. Nothing herein shall amend, modify or supersede any contractual terms, obligations or covenants among or between the Company or DISTRIBUTOR previously or currently in effect, including those contractual terms, obligations or covenants contained in the Participation Agreement.

6. Governing Law. The laws of the State of New York, excluding the laws on conflicts of laws, shall govern interpretation, validity, and enforcement of this Agreement.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused their duly authorized officers to execute this services Agreement.
