Item 27. Exhibit (h) ii. c.

Ivy Funds Variable Insurance Portfolios Amended and Restated Rule 22c-2 Agreement

Amended and Restated Rule 22c-2 Agreement

This Amended and Restated Rule 22c-2 Agreement (“Agreement”) dated November _13_, 2012 is entered into by and among Waddell & Reed, Inc. (“Distributor”), as principal underwriter for the Ivy Funds Variable Insurance Portfolios (the “Trust”), and the intermediary firm which is a signatory to this Agreement below (the “Intermediary”), effective as of October 25, 2012.

WHEREAS, the Intermediary issues certain variable life insurance and/or variable annuity contracts “collectively, “Variable Products”) that are supported by one or more separate accounts of the Intermediary (each, an “Account”);

WHEREAS, the Intermediary and the Distributor are parties to an agreement (“Participation Agreement”) under which the Intermediary may submit orders for the purchase and redemption of shares of one or more series of the Trust (each, a “Portfolio”) on behalf of the Accounts to fund the Variable Products in accordance with Variable Product owner instructions and the terms of the Variable Product contracts;

WHEREAS, the Distributor and the Intermediary desire to enter into this Agreement pursuant to Rule 22c-2 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“Investment Company Act”), which requires the Intermediary, as a financial intermediary (as that term is defined by the Rule), to provide a Portfolio, upon request, with certain shareholder and Account information in order that the Portfolio can implement its frequent trading policies, and, if requested by the Portfolio, impose certain of the Portfolio’s restrictions, as applicable; and

WHREAS, the Intermediary and the Distributor are parties to a Rule 22c-2 Agreement (the “Prior Agreement”) executed on and effective as of October 25, 2012, and the parties wish to have this Agreement replace the Prior Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, which consideration is full and complete, the Distributor and the Intermediary hereby agree as follows:

1. Shareholder Information

1.1 Agreement to Provide Information. The Intermediary agrees to provide the Portfolio, upon written request, the taxpayer identification number (“TIN”), if known, of any or all Shareholder(s) of the Account, the amount and date of the Shareholder transaction, the name or other identifier of any investment professional(s) associated with the Shareholder(s) or Account (if known), and transaction type (purchase, redemption, transfer, or exchange) of every purchase, redemption, transfer, or exchange of Shares held through an Account maintained by the Intermediary during the period covered by the request.

1.1.1 Period Covered by Request. Requests must set forth a specific period, not to exceed 90 calendar days from the date of the request, for which transaction information is sought. The Portfolio may request transaction information older than 90 calendar days from the date of the request as they deem necessary to investigate compliance with policies established by the Portfolio for the purpose of eliminating or reducing any

dilution of the value of the outstanding shares issued by the Portfolio. If requested by the Portfolio, the Intermediary agrees to provide the information specified in 1.1 for each trading day. Unless otherwise specifically requested by the Portfolio, Intermediary shall only be required to provide information relating to Shareholder-Initiated Purchases or Shareholder-Initiated Transfer Redemptions.

1.1.2 Form and Timing of Response. The Intermediary agrees to transmit the requested information that is on its books and records to the Portfolio or its designee promptly, but in any event not later than five (5) business days, after receipt of a request. If the requested information is not on the Intermediary’s books and records, the Intermediary agrees to: (i) provide or arrange to provide to the Portfolio the requested information from Shareholders who hold an account with an indirect intermediary; or (ii) if directed by the Portfolio, block further purchases of Portfolio Shares from such indirect intermediary. In such instance, the Intermediary agrees to inform the Portfolio whether it plans to perform (i) or (ii). Responses required by this paragraph must be communicated in writing and in a format mutually agreed upon by the parties. To the extent practicable, the format for any transaction information provided to the Portfolio should be consistent with the NSCC Standardized Data Reporting Format. For purposes of this provision, an “indirect intermediary” has the same meaning as in the amendment to Rule 22c-2 under the Investment Company Act proposed February 28, 2006 or as subsequently defined in any adopted amendment to Rule 22c-2.

1.1.3 Limitations on Use of Information. The Portfolio and the Distributor agree:

(a) to keep any information received under this Agreement confidential according to the standard it applies to its own confidential information of a like type;

(b) not to use the information received pursuant to this Agreement for any purpose other than as necessary to comply with the provisions of Rule 22c-2 or to fulfill other regulatory or legal requirements subject to the privacy provisions of title V of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (Public Law 106-102) and comparable state laws;

(c) not to disclose the information, without the prior written consent of the Intermediary, to any third-party except the Portfolio’s regulators, Waddell & Reed Investment Management Company, Waddell & Reed Services Company, legal counsel to the Trust, and the Trust’s Board of Trustees when necessary for these parties to evaluate the information in light of the Trust’s anti-dilution policies; and

(d) to notify Intermediary in accordance with applicable state law in the event of a compromise or other breach of the security, confidentiality or integrity of information received from the Intermediary pursuant to this Agreement.

2. Agreement to Restrict Trading. The Intermediary agrees to execute written instructions from the Portfolio to restrict or prohibit further purchases or exchanges of Shares by a Shareholder that has been identified by the Portfolio as having engaged in transactions

of the Portfolio’s Shares (directly or indirectly through the Intermediary’s (or indirect intermediary’s) Account) that violate policies established by the Portfolio for the purpose of eliminating or reducing any dilution of the value of the outstanding Shares issued by the Portfolio. Unless otherwise directed by the Portfolio, any such restrictions or prohibitions shall only apply to Shareholder-Initiated Transfer Purchases or Shareholder-Initiated Transfer Redemptions that are effected directly or indirectly through the Intermediary. Instructions must be received by the Intermediary at the following address, or such other address that Intermediary may communicate to the Portfolio in writing from time to time, including, if applicable, an e-mail address and/or facsimile telephone number:
