SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT
This Sub-Advisory Agreement ("Agreement") executed as of __________, is
between LINCOLN INVESTMENT ADVISORS CORPORATION, a Tennessee corporation (the
"Adviser"), and SSgA Funds Management, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation (the
"Sub-Adviser"). As a matter of administrative convenience, this Agreement is
entered into by and between the Sub-Adviser and the Adviser with respect to
multiple Funds of the Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (the "Trust"),
each of which is a registered investment company registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended and is listed in Schedule B hereto.
Nevertheless, this Agreement shall be construed to constitute a separate
Agreement on behalf of each such Fund, and the term Fund is used in the
singular herein.
WHEREAS, the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, has entered into an Investment
Management Agreement with the Adviser, pursuant to which the Adviser has agreed
to provide certain investment management services to the Fund; and
WHEREAS, the Adviser desires to appoint Sub-Adviser as investment
sub-adviser to provide the investment advisory services to the Fund, and
Sub-Adviser is willing to serve the Fund in such capacity.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained,
and each of the parties hereto intending to be legally bound, it is agreed as
follows:
1. SERVICES TO BE RENDERED BY SUB-ADVISER TO THE FUND.
(a) The Trust and the Advisor appoint the Sub-Advisor to act as investment
sub-advisor to the Fund on the terms set forth in this Agreement. Subject to
the direction and control of the Board of Trustees (the "Trustees") of the
Trust, the Sub-Adviser, at its expense, will furnish continuously an investment
program for the Fund which shall at all times meet the diversification
requirements of Section 817(h) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the
"Code"). The Sub-Adviser will make investment decisions on behalf of the Fund
and place all orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio securities. The
Sub-Adviser will be an independent contractor and will not have authority to
act for or represent the Trust or Adviser in any way or otherwise be deemed an
agent of the Trust or Adviser except as expressly authorized in this Agreement
or another writing by the Trust, Adviser and the Sub-Adviser.
(b) The Sub-Adviser, at its expense, will furnish (i) all necessary
investment and management facilities, including salaries of personnel, required
for it to execute its duties faithfully and (ii) administrative facilities,
including bookkeeping, clerical personnel and equipment necessary for the
efficient conduct of the investment affairs of the Fund (excluding
determination of net asset value per share, portfolio accounting and
shareholder accounting services). The Sub-Adviser shall be responsible for
commercially reasonable expenses relating to the printing and mailing of
required supplements to the Fund's registration statement, provided that such
supplements relate solely to a change in control of the Sub-Adviser or any
change in the portfolio manager or managers assigned by the Sub-Adviser to
manage the Fund.

(c) The Sub-Adviser shall vote proxies relating to the Fund's investment
securities in the manner in which the Sub-Adviser believes to be in the best
interests of the Fund, and shall review its proxy voting activities on a
periodic basis with the Trustees. The Trust or Adviser may withdraw the
authority granted to the Sub-Adviser pursuant to this Section at any time upon
written notice.
(d) The Sub-Advisor shall not be responsible for filing proofs of claim or
otherwise participating in class action lawsuits with respect to securities
held by the Fund.
(e) The Sub-Adviser will select brokers and dealers to effect all portfolio
transactions subject to the conditions set forth herein (except to the extent
such transactions are effected in accordance with such policies or procedures
as may be established by the Board of Trustees.) In the selection of brokers,
dealers or futures commission merchants and the placing of orders for the
purchase and sale of portfolio investments for the Fund, the Sub-Adviser shall
use its best efforts to obtain for the Fund the most favorable price and
execution available, except to the extent it may be permitted to pay higher
brokerage commissions for brokerage and research services as described below.
The Adviser reserves the right to direct the Sub-Adviser upon written notice
