inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them.

The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any

proceeding effected without its written consent but if settled with such

consent or if there be a final judgrnent for the plaintiff, the indemnifying

party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or

liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.

A successor by law of the parties to this Agreement shall be entitled

to the benefits of the indemnification contained in this SECTION 11. The

indemnification provisions contained in this SECTION 11 shall survive any of

this Agreement.

12. POTENTIAL CONFLICTS.

(a) The Company has received a copy of an application for exemptive

relief, as amended, filed by Investors Research and the Issuer on December

21, 1987, with the SEC and the order issued by the SEC in response thereto

(the "Shared Funding Exemptive Order"). The Company has reviewed the

conditions to the requested relief set forth in such application for

exemptive relief. As set forth in such application, the Board of Directors of

the Issuer (the "Board") will monitor the Issuer for the existence of any

material irreconcilable conflict between the interests of the Contract Owners

of all separate accounts ("Participating Companies") investing in funds of

the Issuer. An irreconcilable material conflict may arise for a variety of

reasons, including: (i) an action by any state insurance regulatory

authority; (ii) 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 actions by insurance, tax

or securities regulatory authorities; (iii) an administrative or judicial

decision in any relevant proceeding; (iv) the manner in which the investments

of any portfolio are being managed; (v) a difference in voting instructions

given by variable annuity Contract Owners and variable life insurance

Contract Owners; or (vi) a decision by an insurer to disregard the voting

instructions of Contract Owners. The Board shall promptly inform the Company

if it determines that an irreconcilable material conflict exists and the

implications thereof.

(b) The Company will report any potential or existing conflicts of

which it is aware to the Board. The Company 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 Company to inform the Board whenever Contract Owner voting

instructions are disregarded.

Board members, determines

<Page>

that a material irreconcilable conflict exists with regard to Contract Owner

investments in a Fund, the Board shall give prompt notice to all

Participating Companies. If the Board determines that the Company is

responsible for causing or creating said conflict, the Company shall at its

sole cost and expense, and to the extent reasonably practicable (as

determined by a majority of the disinterested Board members), take such

action as is necessary to remedy or eliminate the irreconcilable material

conflict. Such necessary action may include but shall not be limited to (i)

withdrawing the assets allocable to the Accounts from the Fund and

reinvesting such assets in a different investment medium or submitting the

question of 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 Companies)

that votes in favor of such segregation, or offering to the affected Contract

Owners the option of making such a change and (ii) establishing a new

registered management investment company or managed separate account. Nothing

in this SECTION 12(C) shall be construed to waive any cause of action which

may be available to Company against any other Participating Insurance Company

or Companies, or against any other person or entity, in the event Company

determines good faith that it (Company) is not responsible (or is not solely

responsible) for the material irreconcilable conflict.

(d) If a material irreconcilable conflict arises as a result of a

decision by the Company to disregard its Contract Owner voting instructions

and said decision represents a minority position or would preclude a majority

vote by all of its Contract Owners having an interest in the Issuer, the

Company at its sole cost, may be required, at the Board's election, to

withdraw an Account's investment in the Issuer and terminate this Agreement;

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.

(e) For the purpose of this SECTION 12, a majority of the

disinterested Board members shall determine whether or not any proposed

action adequately remedies any irreconcilable material conflict, but in no

event will the Issuer be required to establish a new funding medium for any

Contract. The Company shall not be required by this SECTION 12 to establish a

new funding medium for any Contract if an offer to do so has been declined by

vote of a majority of the Contract Owners materially adversely affected by

the irreconcilable material conflict.

13. APPLICABLE LAW. This agreement shall be subject to the provisions

of all applicable securities law, and the rules and regulations and rulings

thereunder, including such exemptions from those statutes, rules and

regulations as the SEC may grant, and the terms hereof shall be limited,

interpreted and construed in accordance therewith.

14. TERMINATION. This agreement shall terminate as to the sale and

issuance of new Contracts:

(a) at the option of either the Company, Distributor or the Issuer

upon six months' advance written notice to the other;

<Page>

(b) at the option of the Company if the Funds' shares are not

available for any reason to meet the requirement of Contracts as detennined

by the Company. Reasonable advance notice of election to terminate shall be

furnished by Company;

proceedings against the other party or against the Investment Advisor by the

National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the "NASD"), the SEC or

any other regulatory body which the terminating party reasonably believes

will result in a material harm to the terminating party or the Funds or the

Accounts or the Contract Owners;

(d) upon termination of the Distribution Agreement between the Issuer

and Distributor or the Management Agreement between Investors Research and

the Funds. Notice of such termination shall be promptly finished to the

Company. This subsection (d) shall not be deemed to apply if

contemporaneously with such termination a new contract of substantially

similar terms is entered into between the Issuer and Distributor with respect

to the Distribution Agreement or the Issuer and the Funds with respect to the

Management Agreement;

(e) upon the requisite vote of Contract Owners having an interest in

the Issuer to substitute for the Issuer's shares the shares of another

investment company in accordance with the terms of Contracts for which the

Issuer's shares had been selected to serve as the underlying investment

medium. The Company will give 60 days written notice to the Issuer and

Distributor of any proposed vote to replace the Funds' shares;

(f) upon assignment of this Agreement unless made with the written

consent of all other parties hereto;

(g) if the Issuer's shares are not registered, issued or sold in

conformance with Federal law or such law precludes the use of Fund shares as

an underlying investment medium of Contracts issued or to be issued by the

Company. Prompt notice shall be given by either party should such situation

occur;

(h) at the option of the Issuer, if the Issuer reasonably determines

in good faith that the Company is not offering shares of the Fund in

conformity with the terms of this Agreement or applicable law;

(i) at the option of any party hereto upon a determination that

continuing to perform under this Agreement would, in the reasonable opinion

of the terminating party's counsel, violate any applicable federal or state

law, rule, regulation or judicial order;

(j) at the option of the Company or the Fund upon a determination by

a majority of the Fund Board, or a majority of disinterested Fund Board

members, that an irreconcilable material conflict exists among the interests

of (i) any Contract Owners or (ii) the interests of the Participating

Insurance Companies investing in the Fund;

<Page>

(k) at the option of the Company if the Fund ceases to qualify as a

Regulated Investment Company under Subchapter M of the Code, or under any

successor or similar provision, or if the Company reasonably believes, based

on an opinion of its counsel, that the Fund may fail to so qualify;

(l) at the option of the Company if the Fund falls to meet the

diversification requirements specified in Section 817(h) of the Code and any

regulations thereunder;

(m) at the option of either the Fund or the Distributor if the Fund

or the Distributor, respectively, shall determine, in their sole judgment

exercised in good faith that either (1) the Company shall have suffered a

material adverse change in its business or financial condition; or (2) the

Company shall have been the subject of material adverse publicity which is

Likely to have a material adverse impact upon the business and operations of

either the Fund or the Distributor; or

(n) at the option of the Company, if the Company shall determine, in

its sole judgment exercised in good faith, that either: (1) the Investment

Advisor or Distributor shall have suffered a material adverse change in their

respective businesses or financial condition; or (2) the Investment Advisor

or Distributor shall have been the subject of material adverse publicity

which is likely to have a material adverse impact upon the business and

operations of the Company.

15. CONTINUATION OF AGREEMENT.

(a) Termination as the result of any cause listed in SECTION 14 shall

not affect the Issuer's obligation to furnish its shares to Contracts then in

force for which its shares serve or may serve as the underlying medium

(unless such further sale of Fund shares is proscribed by law or the SEC or

other regulatory body). Following termination, Distributor shall not have any

Administrative Services payment obligation to the Company (except for payment

obligations accrued but not yet paid as of the termination date).

(b) Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement pursuant to

SECTION 14 of this Agreement, the Fund will, at the option of the Company,

continue to make available additional Fund shares for so long after the

termination of this Agreement as the Company desires, pursuant to the terms

and conditions of this Agreement for all Contracts in effect on the effective

date of termination of this Agreement (hereinafter referred to as "Existing

Contracts"). Specifically, without limitation, if the Company so elects to

that is reasonable under the circumstances but, if given by the Fund, need

not be for more than six months.

AMENDMENT NO. 9 TO FUND PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT

THIS AMENDMENT NO. 9 TO FUND PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT (the "Amendment")

is made as of this 1st day of November, 2008, by and between LINCOLN LIFE &

ANNUITY COMPANY OF NEW YORK (the "Company") and AMERICAN CENTURY INVESTMENT

SERVICES, INC. ("ACIS"). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein

shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Agreement (defined below).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, the Company and ACIS are parties to that certain Fund

Participation Agreement dated September 26, 1996, as amended (the

"Agreement"); and

WHEREAS, effective April 2, 2007, Jefferson Pilot LifeAmerica Insurance

Company ("JPLA") merged into its affiliated insurance company, Lincoln Life &

Annuity Company of New York, and ceased all legal existence. The Company and

ACIS agree that the Shareholder Services Agreement between ACIS and JPLA

dated May 1, 2001, shall be of no further effect; and

WHEREAS, the parties have agreed to amend the Agreement to revise the

list of variable annuity contracts and variable life policies supported by

the separate accounts under the Agreement, as set forth in the attached

Schedule A; and

WHEREAS, the parties have agreed to amend the Agreement to revise the

Agreement, as set forth in the attached Schedule B; and

WHEREAS, the parties have agreed to make additional Funds available as

investment options and to revise the reimbursement terms under the Agreement,

as set forth in the attached Schedule C; and

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and

sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree to amend the

Agreement as follows:

1. FUNDS AVAILABLE. The second recital of the Agreement is hereby

deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following language:

"WHEREAS, the Company wishes to make available as investment options

under the Agreement, one or more of the funds identified in SCHEDULE C

attached hereto (the "Funds"), each of which is a series of mutual fund

shares registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and

issued by a registered investment company (each an "Issuer" and

collectively, the "Issuers"); and"

2. TIMING OF TRANSACTIONS. Section 3 to the Agreement is hereby

deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following language:

"(a) Distributor hereby appoints the Company as agent for the Funds

for the limited purpose of accepting purchase and redemption orders for

Shares from the Plans sponsors and/or Participants, as applicable. On each

day the New York Stock Exchange (the "Exchange") is open for business

(each, a "Business Day"); the Company may receive instructions from the

Plans sponsors and/or Participants for the purchase or redemption of Shares

("Orders"). Orders received and accepted by the Company prior to the price

time for

<Page>

each Fund as set forth in its Prospectus (the "Price Time"), generally the

close of regular trading on the Exchange (the "Close of Trading") on any

given Business Day (currently, 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) and transmitted to

Transfer Agent either (1) prior to the Price Time on such Business Day or

(2) pursuant to the National Securities Clearing Corporation's ("NSCC")

Mutual Fund Settlement, Entry and Redemption Verification ("Fund/SERV")

system in accordance with Section 4 hereof, will be executed at the net

asset value determined as of the relevant Fund's Price Time on the Business

Day the Company received such Order. Any Orders received by the Company

on such day but after the relevant Fund's Price Time on a Business Day will

be executed at the net asset value next determined as of that Fund's Price

Time on the next Business Day. The day as of which an Order is executed by

Transfer Agent pursuant to the provisions set forth above is referred to

herein as the "Trade Date". All Orders are subject to acceptance or

rejection by American Century or the Funds in the sole discretion of any

of them.

"(b) Notwithstanding Section 3(a) above, if the Securities and

Exchange Commission adopts a rule, or a law is enacted, that changes the

requirements for intermediaries with regard to accepting Orders on behalf

of the Funds, the timing of transmitting Orders to the Funds, or otherwise

affects the way Orders are accepted, transmitted or priced, Section 3(a)

shall be deemed to be automatically amended to comply with such new rule or

law."

3. PROCESSING OF TRANSACTIONS. If transactions in Shares are to be

settled manually, the provisions in Sections 4(a), (b) and (c) continue to

apply. The Agreement is hereby amended with the following language:

"(d) If transactions in Shares are to be settled through the

Fund/SERV system, the following provisions shall apply:

"(1) Each party to this Agreement represents that it or one of

its affiliates has entered into the Standard Networking Agreement with

the NSCC and it desires to participate in the programs offered by the

NSCC Fund/SERV system which provide (i) an automated process whereby

shareholder purchases and redemptions, exchanges and transactions of

mutual fund shares are executed through the Fund/SERV system, and

(ii) a centralized and standardized communication system for the

exchange of customer-level information and account activity through the

Fund/SERV Networking system ("Networking").

"(2) For each Fund/SERV transaction, including transactions

establishing accounts with American Century or its affiliates, the

Company shall provide the Funds and American Century or its affiliates

with all information necessary or appropriate to establish and maintain

each Fund/SERV transaction (and any subsequent changes to such

information), which the Company hereby certifies is and shall remain

true and correct. The Company shall maintain documents required by

American Century or the Funds to effect Fund/SERV transactions. Each

instruction shall be deemed to be accompanied by a representation by

the Company that it has received proper authorization from each person

whose purchase, redemption, account transfer or exchange transaction is

effected as a result of such instruction.

"(3) At all times each party shall maintain insurance coverage

that is reasonable and customary in light of all its responsibilities

hereunder and under applicable law. Such coverage shall insure for

losses resulting from the criminal acts, errors or omissions of each

party's employees and agents.

<Page>

"(4) The Company represents and warrants that all instructions,

questions and other correspondence concerning the accounts for which

trades are made in accordance with this SECTION 4(a) shall come from

the Company, and that individual account holders shall contact the

Company, rather than contact Distributor or the Funds directly, with

instructions, questions and requests concerning the Funds. The Company

further represents and warrants that it, rather than Distributor or the

Funds, has reporting responsibility to its clients for confirmations of

transactions and monthly, quarterly and year-end statements.

"(e) If transactions in Shares are to be settled directly with

Transfer Agent, procedures relating to the processing and settlement of

Orders shall be subject to such instructions as American Century may

forward to the Company from time to time. Payment for net purchase

transactions shall be made by wire transfer or through a clearinghouse

agency approved by the American Century to the applicable Fund

custodial account designated by American Century on the Business Day

next following the Trade Date. Such wire transfers shall be initiated

by the Company's bank prior to 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and received by

the Funds prior to 6:00 p.m. Eastern time on the Business Day next

following the Trade Date. If payment for a purchase Order is not

timely received, the Fund may cancel the Order or, at American

Century's option, resell the shares to the applicable Fund at the then

prevailing net asset value, and the Company shall be responsible for

all costs to American Century, the Funds or any affiliate of American

Century or the Funds resulting from such resale. The Company shall be

responsible for any loss, expense, liability or damage, including loss

of profit suffered by American Century and/or the respective Funds

resulting from delay or failure to make timely payment for such shares

or cancellation of any trade, or for any Orders that are processed on

an "as of" basis as an accommodation to the Company. The Company shall

not be entitled to any gains generated thereby.

"(f) The Company agrees not to withhold placing Orders received from

any customers for the purchase or sale of shares so as to profit itself

as a result of such withholding. The Company shall not purchase shares

through Distributor except for the purpose of covering purchase Orders

received by the Company, or for the Company's bona fide investment.

The Company agrees to purchase shares only from the Funds or its

customers. If the Company purchases shares from its customers, it will

pay such customers not less than the applicable redemption price as

established by the then-current prospectuses of the Funds."

4. COMPENSATION AND EXPENSES. Section 6(b) is hereby deleted in its

entirety and the following is substituted in lieu thereof:

"(b) ACIS acknowledges that it will derive a substantial savings in

administrative expenses, such as a reduction in expenses related to

postage, shareholder communications and recordkeeping, by virtue of having

a single shareholder account per Fund for the Accounts rather than having

each Contract owner as a shareholder. In consideration of the

Administrative Services and performance of all other obligations under this

Agreement by the Company, ACIS will pay the Company a fee (the

"Administrative Services Fee") attached as SCHEDULE C, attached hereto.

Any such fee shall be paid to the Company only with respect to Accounts

where the Company's Dealer # 4686 and/or # 7002003 is indicated."

5. SCHEDULES A, B AND C. Schedules A, B and C are hereby deleted in

their entirety and are replaced by Schedules A, B and C, attached hereto.

6. RATIFICATION AND CONFIRMATION OF AGREEMENT. In the event of a

conflict between the

<Page>

terms of this Amendment and the Agreement, it is the intention of the parties

that the terms of this Amendment shall control and the Agreement shall be

interpreted on that basis. To the extent the provisions of the Agreement

have not been amended by this Amendment, the parties hereby confirm and

ratify the Agreement.

7. COUNTERPARTS. This Amendment may be executed in two or more

counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which together

shall constitute one instrument.

8. FULL FORCE AND EFFECT. Except as expressly supplemented, amended or

consented to hereby, all of the representations, warranties, terms, covenants

and conditions of the Agreement shall remain unamended and shall continue to

be in full force and effect.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have caused this Amendment No.9 to be

executed in its name and on behalf of its duly authorized officer on the date

first listed above.

Agreement, as set forth in the attached Schedule B; and

WHEREAS, the parties have agreed to make additional Funds available as

investment options and to revise the reimbursement terms under the Agreement,

as set forth in the attached Schedule C; and

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and

sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree to amend the

Agreement as follows:

1. PROSPECTUS. Section 5(b) of the Agreement is hereby deleted in its

entirety and is replaced with the following language:

"The cost of preparing, printing and shipping of the prospectuses,

proxy materials, periodic fund reports and other materials (Fund

Disclosure Materials) to the Company shall be paid by ACIS or its

agents or affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event

the Company elects to print a document that combines the Fund

Disclosure Materials with the disclosure materials of other

investment options under the Contracts, the costs of preparing,

typesetting and printing the combined disclosure document shall be

borne by the Company. The Company will provide ACIS an invoice

detailing all costs to be reimbursed by ACIS under this section

5(b). Provided, however, that reimbursement by ACIS will be

limited to the lesser of the actual printing costs incurred by the

Company or the cost ACIS would incur to print like quantities of

such documents."

2. SCHEDULES A, B AND C. Schedules A, B and C are hereby deleted in

their entirety and are replaced by Schedules A, B and C, attached

hereto.

amended by this Amendment, the parties hereby confirm and ratify

the Agreement.

4. COUNTERPARTS. This Amendment may be executed in two or more

counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which

together shall constitute one instrument.

5. FULL FORCE AND EFFECT. Except as expressly supplemented, amended

or consented to hereby, all of the representations, warranties,

terms, covenants and conditions of the Agreement shall remain

unamended and shall continue to be in full force and effect.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have caused this Amendment No. 10 to

be executed in its name and on behalf of its duly authorized officer on the

date first listed above.
