**Part C - Other Information**

**<u>Item 15. Indemnification</u>**

As permitted by Sections 17(h) and 17(i) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") and pursuant to Article VII, Section 2 of the Trust's Agreement and Declaration of Trust (Exhibit 28(a) to the Registration Statement) and Article VI of the Trust's By-Laws (Exhibit 28(b) to the Registration Statement), officers, trustees, employees and agents of the Registrant will not be liable to the Registrant, any stockholder, officer, director, trustee, employee, agent or other person for any action or failure to act, except for bad faith, willful misfeasance, gross negligence or reckless disregard of duties, and those individuals may be indemnified against liabilities in connection with the Registrant, subject to the same exceptions. Subject to the standards set forth in the governing instrument of the Trust, Section 3817 of Title 12, Part V, Chapter 38, of the Delaware Code permits indemnification of trustees or other persons from and against all claims and demands. The Independent Trustees have entered into an Indemnification Agreement with the Trust which obligates the Trust to indemnify the Independent Trustees in certain situations and which provides the procedures and presumptions with respect to such indemnification obligations.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "1933" Act) may be permitted to trustees, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a trustee, officer, or controlling person of the Registrant in connection with the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted against the Registrant by such trustee, officer or controlling person in connection with the shares being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

The Registrant has purchased an insurance policy insuring its officers, trustees and directors against liabilities, and certain costs of defending claims against such officers and directors, to the extent such officers and directors are not found to have committed conduct constituting willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard in the performance of their duties. The insurance policy will also insure the Registrant against the cost of indemnification payments to officers and trustees under certain circumstances.

Section 9 of the Investment Management Agreements (Exhibits 28(d)(1) and (2) to the Registration Statement) limits the liability of Lincoln Financial Investments Corporation ("LFI") to liabilities arising from willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its respective duties or from reckless disregard by LFI of its respective obligations and duties under the Agreements. Certain other agreements to which the Trust is a party also contain indemnification provisions.

The Registrant hereby undertakes that it will apply the indemnification provisions of its By-Laws in a manner consistent with SEC Release No. 11330 so long as the interpretations of Sections 17(h) and 17(i) of the 1940 Act remain in effect and are consistently applied.

## Exhibit 99.4

**FORM OF AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION** 

**THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION** (the "Agreement") is made as of October 31, 2025 by Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (the "Trust"), a Delaware statutory trust with its principal place of business at 1301 S. Harrison Street, Fort Wayne, Indiana 46802, on behalf of each of its series funds listed in Exhibit A hereto (the "Acquiring Fund" or "Acquired Fund," as applicable), with respect to the reorganization transaction described herein. Lincoln Financial Investments Corporation ("LFI") is a party to this agreement solely for purposes of section 10.2 hereof.

This Agreement is intended to be and is adopted as a plan of reorganization and liquidation within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1) of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"). The reorganization (the "Reorganization") will consist of the transfer of all of the assets of the Acquired Fund to the Acquiring Fund in exchange solely for voting shares of beneficial interest of the Acquiring Fund as shown in Exhibit A hereto (the "Acquiring Fund Shares"), the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of all of the liabilities of the Acquired Fund, as described in paragraph 1.3 herein, and the distribution of the Acquiring Fund Shares to the shareholders of the Acquired Fund in complete liquidation of the Acquired Fund as provided herein, all upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth in this Agreement.

**WHEREAS**, the Acquired Fund and Acquiring Fund are separate investment series of a registered open-end investment management company and the Acquired Fund owns securities that generally are assets of the character in which the Acquiring Fund is permitted to invest; and

**WHEREAS**, the Board of Trustees of the Trust has determined that the exchange of all of the assets of the Acquired Fund for Acquiring Fund Shares and the assumption of all of the liabilities of the Acquired Fund by the Acquiring Fund, as described in paragraph 1.3 herein, is in the best interests of the Acquiring Fund and its shareholders and that the interests of the existing shareholders of the Acquiring Fund would not be diluted as a result of this transaction; and

**WHEREAS**, the Board of Trustees of the Trust has also determined that the exchange of all of the assets of the Acquired Fund for Acquiring Fund Shares and the assumption of the liabilities of the Acquired Fund by the Acquiring Fund, as described in paragraph 1.3 herein, is in the best interests of the Acquired Fund and its shareholders and that the interests of the existing shareholders of the Acquired Fund would not be diluted as a result of this transaction;

**NOW, THEREFORE**, in consideration of the premises and of the covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, the Trust, on behalf of the Acquiring Fund and the Acquired Fund, respectively, hereby covenants and agrees as follows:

**1.** **TRANSFER OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES OF THE ACQUIRED FUND TO THE ACQUIRING FUND IN EXCHANGE FOR ACQUIRING FUND SHARES, AND THE LIQUIDATION OF THE ACQUIRED FUND** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.1. Subject to the requisite approvals and the other terms and conditions herein set forth and on the basis of the representations and warranties contained herein, the Acquired Fund agrees to transfer all of its respective assets, as set forth in paragraph 1.2, to the Acquiring Fund, and the Acquiring Fund agrees in exchange therefor: (i) to deliver to the Acquired Fund the number of full and fractional Acquiring Fund Shares as of the time and date set forth in paragraph 2.1 and (ii) to assume the liabilities of the Acquired Fund, as set forth in paragraph 1.3. Such transactions shall take place at the closing provided for in paragraph 3.1 (the "Closing").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.2. The assets of the Acquired Fund to be acquired by the Acquiring Fund shall consist of all assets and property, including, without limitation, all cash, securities, commodities and futures interests, claims (whether absolute or contingent, known or unknown, accrued or unaccrued) and dividends or interest receivable that are owned by the Acquired Fund and any deferred or prepaid expenses shown as an asset on the books of the Acquired Fund on the closing date provided for in paragraph 3.1 (the "Closing Date") (collectively, "Assets").

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.3. The Acquiring Fund shall assume all of the liabilities of the Acquired Fund. The Acquired Fund shall deliver to the Acquiring Fund the Acquired Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities as of the Closing Date pursuant to paragraph 7.2 hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.4. On or as soon as practicable prior to the Closing Date, the Acquired Fund will declare and pay to its respective shareholders of record one or more dividends and/or other distributions so that it will have distributed all of its investment company taxable income (computed without regard to any deduction for dividends paid) and realized net capital gain, if any, for the current taxable year through the Closing Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.5. Immediately after the transfer of assets provided for in paragraph 1.1, the Acquired Fund will: (i) distribute to the Acquired Fund's shareholders of record with respect to the classes of shares listed in Exhibit A, determined as of immediately after the close of business on the Closing Date (after giving effect to all redemptions received in good order on the Closing Date), on a pro rata basis within each class, the Acquiring Fund Shares of the class received by the Acquired Fund pursuant to paragraph 1.1 (as listed in Exhibit A) and (ii) completely liquidate. Such distribution and liquidation will be accomplished, with respect to each class of the Acquired Fund's shares, by the transfer of the Acquiring Fund Shares then credited to the account of the Acquired Fund on the books of the Acquiring Fund to open accounts on the share records of the Acquiring Fund in the names of the shareholders of record of each class of the Acquired Fund's shares, determined as of immediately after the close of business on the Closing Date (the "Acquired Fund Shareholders"). The aggregate net asset value of such classes of Acquiring Fund Shares to be so credited to Acquired Fund Shareholders shall, with respect to each class, be equal to the aggregate net asset value of the Acquired Fund shares of that class owned by such shareholders on the Closing Date. All issued and outstanding classes of Acquired Fund shares as listed in Exhibit A will simultaneously be canceled on the books of the Acquired Fund. The Acquiring Fund shall not issue certificates representing Acquiring Fund Shares in connection with such exchange.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.6. Ownership of Acquiring Fund Shares of the Acquiring Fund will be shown on its books. Acquiring Fund Shares will be issued in the manner described in the Acquiring Fund's current prospectus.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.7. Any reporting responsibility of an Acquired Fund including, but not limited to, the responsibility for filing of regulatory reports, tax returns, or other documents with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"), any state securities commission, and any federal, state or local tax authorities or any other relevant regulatory authority, is and shall remain the responsibility of the Acquired Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.8. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date, the Acquired Fund shall make all filings and take all steps as shall be necessary and proper to effect its complete dissolution.

**2.** **VALUATION** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.1. The value of the Assets shall be the value computed as of immediately after the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (and after the declaration of any dividends and after giving effect to all redemptions received in good order on the Closing Date) (such time and date being hereinafter called the "Valuation Date"), using the valuation procedures set forth in the Trust's Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust and then-current prospectus and statement of additional information with respect to the relevant Acquiring Fund, and valuation procedures established by the Trust's Board of Trustees (the "Board").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.2. All computations of value shall be made by the Trust's accounting agent and shall be subject to review by the Trust's independent registered public accounting firm.

**3.** **CLOSING AND CLOSING DATE** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.1. The Closing Date shall be October 31, 2025, or such other date as the parties may agree to in writing. All acts taking place at the Closing shall be deemed to take place simultaneously as of immediately after the close of business on the Closing Date unless otherwise agreed to by the parties. The close of business on the Closing Date shall be as of 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time. The Closing shall be held at the offices of the Trust or at such other time and/or place as the parties may agree.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.2. The Trust shall direct State Street Bank and Trust Company, as custodian for the Acquired Fund (the "Custodian"), to deliver at the Closing a certificate of an authorized officer stating that: (i) the Assets have been delivered in proper form to the Acquiring Fund within two business days prior to or on the Closing Date; and (ii) all necessary taxes in connection with the delivery of the Assets, including all applicable federal and state stock transfer stamps, if any, have been paid or provision for payment has been made. The Acquired Fund's portfolio securities represented by a certificate or other written instrument shall be presented by the Custodian to those persons at the Custodian who have primary responsibility for the safekeeping of the Assets of the Acquiring Fund for examination no later than five business days preceding the Closing Date, and shall be transferred and delivered by the Acquired Fund as of the Closing Date for the account of the Acquiring Fund duly endorsed in proper form for transfer in such condition as to constitute good delivery thereof. The Trust, on behalf of the Acquired Fund, shall direct the Custodian to deliver as of the Closing Date by book entry, in accordance with the customary practices of the Custodian and any securities depository (as defined in Rule 17f-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act")) in which the Assets are deposited, the Acquired Fund's portfolio securities and instruments deposited with such depositories. The cash to be transferred by an Acquired Fund shall be delivered by wire transfer of federal funds on the Closing Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.3. The Trust shall direct The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company, as transfer agent for the Acquired Fund (the "Transfer Agent"), to deliver at the Closing a certificate of an authorized officer stating that: (i) its records contain the names and addresses of the Acquired Fund Shareholders, and (ii) the number and percentage ownership of outstanding shares (of the classes listed in Exhibit A) owned by each such shareholder immediately prior to the Closing. The Acquiring Fund shall issue and deliver a confirmation evidencing the Acquiring Fund Shares to be credited on the Closing Date to the Secretary of the Acquired Fund, or provide evidence satisfactory to the Trust that such Acquiring Fund Shares have been credited to the Acquired Fund's account on the books of the Acquiring Fund. At the Closing, each party shall deliver to the other such bills of sale, checks, assignments, share certificates, if any, receipts or other documents as such other party or its counsel may reasonably request.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.4. In the event that on the Valuation Date: (a) the New York Stock Exchange or another primary trading market for portfolio securities of an Acquired Fund shall be closed to trading or trading thereupon shall be restricted, or (b) trading or the reporting of trading on such Exchange or elsewhere shall be disrupted so that, in the judgment of the Board of the Trust, accurate appraisal of the value of the net assets of the Acquired Fund is impracticable, the Closing Date shall be postponed until the first business day after the day when trading shall have been fully resumed and reporting shall have been restored.

**4.** **REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.1. The Trust, on behalf of the Acquired Fund, represents and warrants to the Acquiring Fund as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Acquired Fund is duly organized as a series of the Trust, which is a statutory trust duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, with power under the Trust's Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust and its Amended and Restated By-Laws, to own all of its properties and assets and to carry on its business as it is presently being conducted;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Trust is a registered open-end investment management company, and its registration with the Commission as an investment company under the 1940 Act, and the registration of shares of the Acquired Fund under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "1933 Act"), is in full force and effect;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) No consent, approval, authorization, or order of any court or governmental authority is required for the consummation by the Acquired Fund of the transactions contemplated herein, except such as have been obtained under the 1933 Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "1934 Act"), and the 1940 Act and such as may be required by state securities or blue sky laws;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The current prospectuses and statement of additional information of the Acquired Fund and each prospectus and statement of additional information of the Acquired Fund used during the three years previous to the date of this Agreement conforms or conformed at the time of its use in all material respects to the applicable requirements of the 1933 Act and the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) On the Closing Date, the Acquired Fund will have good and marketable title to the Assets and full right, power, and authority to sell, assign, transfer and deliver such Assets hereunder free of any liens or other encumbrances, and upon delivery and payment for such Assets, the Acquiring Fund will acquire good and marketable title thereto, subject to no restrictions on the full transfer thereof, including such restrictions as might arise under the 1933 Act, other than as disclosed to the Acquiring Fund;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) No Acquired Fund is engaged currently, and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement will not result, in: (i) a material violation of the Trust's Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust or its Amended and Restated By-Laws, or of any agreement, indenture, instrument, contract, lease or other undertaking to which the Trust, on behalf of the Acquired Fund, is a party or by which it is bound, other than as disclosed to the Acquiring Fund; or (ii) the acceleration of any obligation, or the imposition of any penalty, under any agreement, indenture, instrument, contract, lease, judgment or decree to which the Trust, on behalf of the Acquired Fund, is a party or by which it is bound, other than as disclosed to the Acquiring Fund;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) All material contracts or other commitments of the Acquired Fund (other than this Agreement and certain investment contracts including options, futures and forward contracts) will terminate without liability, or will be continued with respect to each such Acquired Fund as of the Closing Date;

## Exhibit 99.10

**Service Class Distribution and Service Plan** 

**Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust** 

This Distribution and Service Plan (the "Plan") constitutes a plan adopted pursuant to Rule l2b-l under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") for the "Service Class" of shares of each series (a "Fund") of the Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (the "Trust"). The Trust is an open-end management investment company registered as such under the 1940 Act and is organized as a Delaware statutory trust. The Funds of the Trust are set forth on Schedule I hereto, which Schedule can be amended to add or remove a Fund from time to time. Shares of beneficial interest of the Funds are divided into classes of shares, one of which is designated "Service Class." The Trust offers shares of beneficial interest to certain life insurance companies ("Insurance Companies") for allocation to certain of their separate accounts established for the purpose of funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (collectively, "Variable Contracts").

The Plan shall not take effect with respect to a Fund until it has been approved, together with any related agreements, by votes of a majority of the Board of Trustees of the Trust, including a majority of the Trustees who are not interested persons of the Trust and who have no direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of the Plan or in any agreements related thereto ("Independent Trustees"), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such Plan. Such approval by the Trustees shall include a determination that in the exercise of reasonable business judgment and in light of their fiduciary duties, there is a reasonable likelihood that the Plan will benefit each such Fund and shareholders of the Service Class. References to shareholders in this Plan shall include contract holders of any Variable Contracts that invest indirectly in the Service Class of a Fund.

The Plan provides that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;l. Each Fund is authorized to pay to Insurance Companies or others, out of the assets of the Service Class, a monthly fee not to exceed the fee rate set forth on Schedule I (the "Plan Fee"), as compensation, or reimbursement for services rendered and/or expenses borne, in connection with the financing of the activities and services described in Section 3 pursuant to an agreement with an Insurance Company. The current Plan Fee, as set forth on Schedule I, may be adjusted by the Board of Trustees from time to time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. Payment of the Plan Fee shall be subject to applicable laws and regulations, as well as the rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"). In accordance with FINRA Rule 2341, as amended from time to time, the Plan Fee may constitute a "service fee," as that term is defined in FINRA Rule 2341.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. The Trust shall pay the Insurance Companies or others, out of the assets of a Service Class, for activities primarily intended to sell Service Class shares or Variable Contracts offering that Service Class shares. Payments made under the Plan may be used for, among other things: the printing of prospectuses and reports used for sales purposes; preparing and distributing sales literature and related expenses; advertisements; education of contract owners or dealers and their representatives; and other distribution-related expenses. Payments made under the Plan may also be used to pay Insurance Companies, dealers or others for, among other things: service fees as defined under FINRA rules; furnishing personal services or such other enhanced services as the Trust or a Variable Contract may require; or maintaining customer accounts and records.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. Any person authorized to direct the disposition of monies paid or payable by the Funds pursuant to the Plan or any related agreement, including the officers of the Trust, shall furnish to the Board of Trustees, for their review, on a quarterly basis, a written report of the amounts expended under the Plan with respect to each Service Class and the purposes for which such expenditures were made.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. The Plan shall take effect with respect to the Service Class of a Fund as of the effective date set forth on Schedule I (the "Commencement Date"); thereafter, the Plan and each related agreement shall continue in effect with respect to the Service Class of a particular Fund for a period of more than one year from the Commencement Date only so long as such continuance is specifically approved at least annually by a vote of the Board of Trustees, and of the Independent Trustees, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. If adopted with respect to a Fund after any public offering of the Fund's shares or the sale of the Fund's shares to person who are not affiliated persons of the Trust, affiliated persons of such person, promoters of the Trust, or affiliated persons of such persons, the Plan (solely with respect to distribution-related activities and/or services) must be approved by the vote of the Variable Contract owners who indirectly control a majority of the outstanding voting Service Class shares of the Fund. Such approval shall constitute authorization to pay distribution-related Plan Fees accrued under the Plan with respect to the Fund prior to the date of such approval.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. (a) The Plan may be terminated as to the Trust, or each Fund at any time, without payment of any penalty, by vote of a majority of the Independent Trustees or by vote of the Variable Contract owners who indirectly control a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Plan may not be amended as to the Service Class with respect to a Fund to increase materially the amount to be spent for distribution pursuant to paragraph l hereof without approval by the vote of the Variable Contract owners who indirectly control a majority of the outstanding voting Service Class shares of the affected Fund(s).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. All agreements with any person relating to the implementation of the Plan shall be in writing, and any agreement related to the Plan shall provide:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a. That such agreement may be terminated with respect to a Fund at any time, without payment of any penalty, by
vote of a majority of the Independent

Trustees or by vote of a majority of the outstanding Service Class shares of the affected Fund(s), on not more than 60-days' written notice to any other party to the agreement; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. That such agreement shall terminate automatically in the event of its assignment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9. All material amendments to this Plan shall be approved by the Independent Trustees in the manner described in paragraph 5 above.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10. So long as the Plan is in effect, Independent Trustees shall constitute a majority of the Board of Trustees, and the selection and nomination of the Independent Trustees shall be committed to the discretion of such Independent Trustees. So long as the Plan is in effect, any

------

person who acts as legal counsel to the Independent Trustees shall be an independent legal counsel.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11. The Trust shall preserve copies of the Plan, any related agreement, and any report made pursuant to Section 5 for a period of not less than six years from the date of the Plan or of such agreement or report, the first two years in an easily accessible place.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12. As used in this Plan, (a) the definitions contained in Sections 2(a)(19) and 2(a)(42) of the 1940 Act shall govern the meaning of "interested person(s)" and "vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities," respectively; and (b) the terms "affiliated person", "assignment", "independent legal counsel", "interested person" and "promoter" shall have the meanings specified in the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder.

This Plan shall take effect on the Commencement Date, as previously defined.

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:

You have requested our opinion regarding certain federal income tax consequences to LVIP Macquarie Wealth Builder Fund (the "Acquired Fund"), a separate series of Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust, a Delaware statutory trust (the "Trust"), to the record holders of shares of (the "Acquired Fund Shares") of Acquired Fund (the "Acquired Fund Shareholders"), and to LVIP Structured Moderate Allocation Fund (the "Acquiring Fund"), a separate series of Trust, in connection with the proposed transfer of substantially all of the properties of Acquired Fund to Acquiring Fund in exchange solely for shares of Acquiring Fund (the "Acquiring Fund Shares") and the assumption of all liabilities of Acquired Fund by Acquiring Fund, followed by the distribution of such Acquiring Fund Shares received by Acquired Fund in complete liquidation and termination of Acquired Fund (the "Reorganization"), all pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the "Agreement") dated as of October 31, 2025, and as executed by Trust on behalf of Acquired Fund and Acquiring Fund.

For purposes of this opinion, we have examined and relied upon (1) the Agreement, (2) the Proxy Statement/Prospectus dated September 15, 2025, (3) the facts and representations contained in the letter dated on or about the date hereof addressed to us from Trust on behalf of Acquiring Fund, (4) the facts and representations contained in the letter dated on or about the date hereof addressed to us from Trust on behalf of

Acquired Fund, and (5) such other documents and instruments as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for purposes of rendering this opinion.

This opinion is based upon the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), United States Treasury Regulations, judicial decisions, and administrative rulings and pronouncements of the Internal Revenue Service, all as in effect on the date hereof. This opinion is conditioned upon the Reorganization taking place in the manner described in the Agreement.

Based upon the foregoing, it is our opinion that for federal income tax purposes:

1. The acquisition by Acquiring Fund of substantially all of the properties of Acquired Fund in exchange solely
for Acquiring Fund Shares and the assumption of all liabilities of Acquired Fund by Acquiring Fund followed by the distribution of Acquiring Fund Shares to the Acquired Fund Shareholders in exchange for their Acquired Fund Shares in complete
liquidation and termination of Acquired Fund will constitute a tax-free reorganization under section 368(a) of the Code.

2. Acquired Fund will not recognize gain or loss upon the transfer of substantially all of its assets to Acquiring
Fund in exchange solely for Acquiring Fund Shares and the assumption of all liabilities of Acquired Fund, except that Acquired Fund may be required to recognize gain or loss with respect to contracts described in section 1256(b) of the Code or stock
in a passive foreign investment company, as defined in section 1297(a) of the Code.

3. Acquired Fund will not recognize gain or loss upon the distribution to its shareholders of the Acquiring Fund
Shares received by Acquired Fund in the Reorganization.

4. Acquiring Fund will recognize no gain or loss upon receiving the properties of Acquired Fund in exchange solely
for Acquiring Fund Shares and the assumption of all liabilities of Acquired Fund.

5. The adjusted basis to Acquiring Fund of the properties of Acquired Fund received by Acquiring Fund in the
Reorganization will be the same as the adjusted basis of those properties in the hands of Acquired Fund immediately before the exchange.

6. Acquiring Fund's holding periods with respect to the properties of Acquired Fund that Acquiring Fund
acquires in the Reorganization will include the respective periods for which those properties were held by Acquired Fund (except where investment

activities of Acquiring Fund have the effect of reducing or eliminating a holding period with respect to an asset).

7. The Acquired Fund Shareholders will recognize no gain or loss upon receiving Acquiring Fund Shares solely in
exchange for Acquired Fund Shares.

8. The aggregate basis of the Acquiring Fund Shares received by an Acquired Fund Shareholder in the Reorganization
will be the same as the aggregate basis of Acquired Fund Shares surrendered by the Acquired Fund Shareholder in exchange therefor.

9. An Acquired Fund Shareholder's holding period for Acquiring Fund Shares received in the Reorganization
will include the holding period during which the Acquired Fund Shareholder held Acquired Fund Shares surrendered in exchange therefor, provided that the Acquired Fund Shareholder held such shares as a capital asset on the date of Reorganization.

We express no opinion as to the federal income tax consequences of the Reorganization except as expressly set forth above, or as to any transaction except those consummated in accordance with the Agreement.

*Contract Owner Opinion:* 

*Reorganization of* 

*LVIP Macquarie Wealth Builder Fund–* 

*LVIP Structured Moderate Allocation Fund* 

October 31, 2025

The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company

1301 South Harrison Street

Fort Wayne, Indiana 46802

Lincoln Life & Annunity Company of New York

100 Madison Street, Suite 1860

Syracuse, New York 13202

Ladies and Gentlemen:

You have requested our opinion regarding certain federal income tax consequences to the holders ("Contract Owners") of certain variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (collectively, the "Contracts") that are issued or administered by The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company ("Lincoln National") or by Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York ("Lincoln New York") and funded by separate accounts of Lincoln National or Lincoln New York for which LVIP Macquarie Wealth Builder Fund ("Acquired Fund"), a separate series of Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (the "Trust"), a Delaware statutory trust, and LVIP Structured Moderate Allocation Fund ("Acquiring Fund"), also a separate series of the Trust, serve as underlying investment vehicles.

Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the "Agreement") dated as of October 31, 2025, and as executed by the Trust on behalf of Acquired Fund and Acquiring Fund, Acquired Fund will transfer all of its assets to Acquiring Fund in exchange solely for voting shares of Acquiring Fund ("Acquiring Fund Shares") and the assumption by Acquiring Fund of all of the liabilities of Acquired Fund and the distribution of Acquiring Fund Shares to the shareholders of Acquired Fund in complete liquidation of Acquired Fund (the "Reorganization").

For purposes of this opinion, we have examined and rely upon (1) the Agreement, (2) the Proxy Statement/Prospectus dated September 15, 2025, (3) the facts and representations contained in the letter dated as of this date, addressed to us from Lincoln

National and Lincoln New York, and (4) such other documents and instruments as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for purposes of rendering this opinion.

For purposes of this opinion, we are assuming that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) each of the Contracts is and, at the time of the Reorganization, will be treated as a "variable contract" within the meaning of section 817(d) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code");

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) the ownership of shares in Acquired Fund and Acquiring Fund, and access to such funds, satisfies the requirements and limitations set forth in section 1.817-5(f) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) under the so-called investor control rules, either Lincoln National or Lincoln New York, and not the Contract Owners, have been and are treated for federal income tax purposes as the owner of the interests in Acquired Fund and Acquiring Fund that underlie the Contracts.

This opinion is based upon the Code, United States Treasury Regulations, judicial decisions and administrative rulings and pronouncements of the Internal Revenue Service, all as in effect on the date hereof. This opinion is conditioned upon (a) the Reorganization taking place in the manner described in the Agreement, (b) (i) the information provided in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus referred to above, (ii) the facts and representations contained in the letter dated as of this date, and as addressed to us from Lincoln National and Lincoln New York, and (iii) the above assumptions, being true and accurate as of the closing date of the Reorganization.

Based upon the foregoing, it is our opinion that, for federal income tax purposes, the Contract Owners will not recognize any taxable income, gains or losses as a result of the Reorganization.

We express no opinion as to the federal income tax consequences of the Reorganization except as expressly set forth above, or as to any transaction except those consummated in accordance with the Agreement and the representations made to us.

## Exhibit 99.17

**CODE OF ETHICS** 

**Lincoln Financial Distributors, Inc.,** 

**as Principal Underwriter for Lincoln Bain Capital Total Credit Fund,** 

**Lincoln Funds Trust, Lincoln Partners Group Royalty Fund,** 

**and Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust** 

**<u>CREDO</u>** 

***It is the duty of all Lincoln Financial Distributors, Inc. ("<u>LFD</u>") employees, officers, and directors to always conduct themselves with integrity. In the interest of this credo, all Access Persons' (as defined below) personal transactions will be conducted consistent with this Code of Ethics (this "Code") and in such a manner as to avoid any actual or potential conflict of interest or any abuse of an individual's position of trust and responsibility with LFD. The fundamental standard of this Code is that LFD personnel should not take any inappropriate advantage of their position with LFD.***

The purpose of this Code is to comply with Rule 17j-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "<u>1940 Act</u>"), which applies to LFD in its capacity as principal underwriter to Lincoln Bain Capital Total Credit Fund, Lincoln Funds Trust, Lincoln Partners Group Royalty Fund, and Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (collectively, the "<u>Trusts</u>"). LFD may from time to time adopt such interpretations of this Code as it deems appropriate. Except as provided under this Code, all reports of securities transactions and any other information provided to LFD or the Trusts pursuant to this Code shall be treated as confidential.

**I.**  **<u>Definitions</u>** 

(A) "<u>Access Person</u>" means any director, officer or general partner of LFD who, in the ordinary course of business, makes, participates in or obtains information regarding, the purchase or sale of Covered Securities (as defined below) by the Trusts, or whose functions or duties in the ordinary course of business relate to the making of any recommendation to the Trusts regarding the purchase or sale of Covered Securities.

(B) "<u>Automatic Investment Plan</u>" means a program in which regular periodic purchases (or withdrawals) are made automatically in (or from) investment accounts in accordance with a predetermined schedule and allocation. An Automatic Investment Plan includes a dividend reinvestment plan.

(C) "<u>Beneficial Ownership</u>" is to be determined in the same manner as it is for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "<u>Exchange Act</u>"), and Rule 16a-1(a)(2) thereunder. A person should consider themselves the Beneficial Owner of securities in which they have a direct or indirect pecuniary interest. In addition, a person should consider themselves the Beneficial Owner of securities held by their spouse, domestic partner, dependent children, any person who shares their home, or other persons (including trusts, partnerships, corporations and other entities) by reason of any contract, arrangement, understanding or relationship that provides them with sole or shared voting or investment power.

Revised – 10/25

------

(D) "<u>Control</u>" shall have the same meaning as that set forth in Section 2(a)(9) of the 1940 Act, which defines "Control" as the power to exercise a controlling influence over the management or policies of a company. The issue of influence or Control is a question of fact, which must be determined based on all relevant facts and circumstances.

(E) "Covered Security" shall have the same meaning as that set forth in Section 2(a)(36) of the 1940 Act, except that it shall not include: Direct obligations of the Government of the United States; Bankers' acceptances, bank certificates of deposit, savings accounts, commercial paper and high quality short-term debt instruments, including repurchase agreements; and shares issued by open-end investment companies.

(F) An "Initial Public Offering" means an offering of securities registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the issuer of which, immediately before registration, was not subject to the reporting requirements of Sections 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

(G) A "Security Held or to be Acquired" by the Trusts means any Covered Security which, within the most recent fifteen days, (i) is or has been held by the Trusts, or (ii) is being or has been considered by the Trusts or the Trusts' investment adviser for purchase by the Trusts, and any option to purchase or sell, and any security convertible into or exchangeable for, such Covered Security.

**II.**  **<u>Standards of Conduct and Compliance with Laws</u>** 

No Access Person shall, in connection with the purchase or sale, directly or indirectly, by such Access Person of a Security Held or to be Acquired by the Trusts:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Employ any device, scheme or artifice to defraud the Trusts;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Make any untrue statement of a material fact to the Trusts or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to
make the statements made to the Trusts, in light of the circumstances in which they are made, not misleading;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Engage in any act, practice or course of business that operates or would operate as a fraud or deceit on the
Trusts; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Engage in any manipulative practice with respect to the Trusts.

**III.**  **<u>Prohibited Activities</u>** 

The following prohibitions apply to Access Persons:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Insider Trading**: Insider trading is a prohibited practice of trading in securities based on material
nonpublic information. All Access Persons are prohibited from trading, either personally or on behalf of others (including family), on material nonpublic information or from communicating material nonpublic information to others. These individuals
are also prohibited from giving advice based on inside information.

Offerings.
