benefits  under  variable  life  insurance  policies   which  may
include  variable life insurance policies classified as  modified
endowment contracts, and variable annuity contracts (all of  such
life  insurance  policies  and  annuity  contracts  referred   to
collectively as the  "Policies") to be issued by Golden  American
through  the  Variable  Accounts after the  Trust's  Registration
Statement   is declared effective by the Securities and  Exchange
Commission ("SEC"); and

     WHEREAS,  Western  Capital will act as the Trust's  Manager,
pursuant  to a Management Agreement, a copy of which is  attached

                                                                2

1.      Western  Capital and the Trust will take all such actions
        as  are  necessary to permit the sale of  the  shares  of
        each  Series to the Variable Accounts including, but  not
        limited   to,   organization   of   the   Trust,   as   a
        Massachusetts  business  Trust and  registration  of  the
        Trust  under  the ICA and registration of the  shares  of
        each  Series  under the Securities Act.  Western  Capital
        and  the Trust shall amend the Registration Statement for
        the  Trust  from  time to time as required  in  order  to
        effect  the continuous offering of shares of each  Series
        of  the Trust.  The Trust's responsibility to make shares
        of  the  Series available to the Variable Accounts  shall
        be  governed by the Settlement Agreement among the Trust,
        the  Variable  Accounts  and Western  Capital;  Financial
        Group.

2.      Western  Capital will pay, on behalf of  the  Trust,  all
        expenses  of  the  Trust incurred  on  or  prior  to  the
        commencement  of operations of the Trust, including,  but
        not   limited   to,  legal  fees,  auditing   fees,   SEC
        registration  fees,  and organizational  fees,  that  are
        determined  to  be "organizational costs"  of  the  Trust
        (the "Organizational Costs").

3.      Such  Organizational Costs will be recovered  by  Western
        Capital  from the Trust over a period not less than  five
        years.

4.      Golden  American agrees that prior to the effective  date
        of  the  Registration  Statement for  the  Trust,  Golden
        American  or  an affiliate shall invest $100,000  in  the
        Trust  subject  to the understanding that  at  such  time
        Golden   American  or  its  affiliate  has   no   current
        intention  of  reselling  the shares  so  acquired.   All
        redemptions  by Golden American or its affiliate  of  any
        part  of its investment in the Trust will be effected  in
        accordance with any applicable legal standards.

5.      With  respect  to  any  of  the Policies  funded  by  the
        Variable Accounts, Golden American agrees as follows:

          a.    That  any  prospectus offering a  life  insurance
          contract  funded by one of the Variable Accounts  where
          it is reasonable probable that such contract would be a
          "modified endowment contract," as that term is  defined
          in  Section 7702A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
          as  amended (the "Code"), will identify such a contract
          as a modified endowment contract (or policy); and

          b.   That Golden American will take all necessary steps
          to ensure that any contract (or policy), including life
          insurance     policies    classified    as     modified
          endowment

                                                                3
          contracts, and funded by one of the Variable  Accounts,
          will qualify as a life insurance contract under Section
          7702  of the Code, and Golden American will immediately
          notify  the  Trust and Western Capital  upon  having  a
          reasonable  basis for believing that the Policies  have
          ceased  to be so treated or that they might not  be  so
          treated in the future; and

          c.   That Golden American will take all necessary steps
          to  ensure that any contract described n its prospectus
          as a annuity and funded by one of the Variable Accounts
          will  qualify  as an annuity under Section  72  of  the
          Code.

6.      Golden  American will take all necessary steps to  ensure
        that   the   Policies  will  be  registered   under   the
        Securities  Act  during the term of  this  Agreement  and
        that  the Policies will be issued in compliance with  all
        applicable federal and state laws.

        Golden  American shall amend the Registration  Statements
        respecting the Policies from time to time as required  to
        effect  the continuous offerings of the Policies.  Golden
        American  represents and warrants that it is an insurance
        company  duly  organized  and  in  good  standing   under
        Minnesota  law,  that  it has established  each  Variable
        Account  shown on Exhibit A as a duly organized,  validly
        existing   segregated  asset  account,   established   by
        resolutions   of  the  Board  of  Directors   of   Golden
        American;  and that the Variable Accounts are,  and  will
        be  during  the  term if this Agreement, duly  registered
        unit  investment  Trusts  under  the  ICA  to  serve   as
        segregated investment accounts for the Policies.   Golden
        American  will  pay  all  expenses  in  connection   with
        organizing   the   Variable  Accounts,   developing   the
        Policies   and   preparing  and  filing  with   the   SEC
        Registration  Statements  for  the  Policies,   obtaining
        authorizations  to  offer  the Policies  in  the  various
        states  and  other initial expenses associated  with  the
        Policies.

7.      Golden  American shall vote shares of each Series of  the
        Trust  held  in a Variable Account or a division  thereof
        at   regular  and  special  meetings  of  the  Trust   in
        accordance  with instructions timely received  by  Golden
        American   (or  its  designated  agent)  from  owners  of
        Policies  funded  by such Variable Accounts  or  division
        thereof  having a voting interest in the Series.   Golden
        American shall vote shares of a Series of the Trust  held
        in  a  Variable  Account or a division thereof  that  are
        attributable  to  the  Policies as  to  which  no  timely
        instructions  are  received,  as  well  as   shares   not
        attributable  to  the Policies and owned beneficially  by
        Golden American in the same proportion as the votes  cast
        by  owners  of  the  Policies  funded  by  that  Variable
        Account  or division thereof having a voting interest  in
        the  Series  from  whom  instructions  have  been  timely
        received.   Golden  American shall vote  shares  of  each
        Series of the Trust held in its general account, if  any,
        in the same proportion as the votes cast with respect to

                                                                4
        shares  of  the Series held in all Variable  Accounts  of
        Golden  American or divisions thereof, in the  aggregate.
        In  the  event of a shareholder meeting, Golden  American
        agrees  to provide the Trust and/or Western Capital  with
        a  list  of  the  names and addresses of  owners  of  the
        Policies  within five (5) days of receipt  of  a  written
        request  for such list.  The party requesting  such  list
        shall   bear  the  reasonable  cost  incurred  by  Golden
        American  in  preparing and providing  such  list,  which
        shall   be  paid  upon  delivery  of  the  list.   Golden
        American  further agrees to provide notice to  the  Trust
        and   to  Western  Capital  if  Golden  American  or   an
        affiliate  has reason to know about a meeting  of  owners
        of  the  Policies or shares of the Trust.  In  the  event
        that  a  vote of shareholders of the Trust is held  prior
        to  the  sale  of  any Policies, Golden American  or  its
        affiliate  will  vote shares of the Trust  acquired  with
        its  investment of $100,000 an any other amounts invested
        for  initial  capitalization  as  instructed  by  Western
        Capital.

8.      Western   Capital  and  the  Trust  will  use  reasonable
        efforts  to manage each Series of the Trust so that  each
        such  Series  will  qualify as  a  "Regulated  Investment
        Company"  under  Subchapter M of the Code  and  will  use
        reasonable  efforts  to maintain such  qualification  and
        will  notify  Golden American immediately upon  having  a
        reasonable  basis for believing that the  Trust  (or  any
        Series thereof) has ceased to so qualify or might not  so
        qualify  in  the  future.   Golden  American  shall  also
        notify  the  Trust  and Western Capital immediately  upon
        having  a  reasonable basis for believing that the  Trust
        (or  any  Series  thereof) has ceased  to  qualify  as  a
        Regulated  Investment Company or might not so qualify  in
        the  future,  PROVIDED  HOWEVER, that  Golden  American's
        agreement  to notify Western Capital and the  Trust  with
        respect  to  any matter contained in this paragraph  will
        in  no way alleviate or relive Western Capital's and  the
        Trust's responsibility under this Section 8.

9.      Western  Capital  and the Trust will take  all  necessary
        steps  to ensure that the Trust (and each Series thereof)
        will  comply  with  the  diversification  provisions   of
        Section  817(h)  of  the Code and the regulations  issued
        thereunder  relating to the diversification  requirements
        for   variable  life  insurance  policies  and   variable
        annuity  contracts  and  any  prospective  amendments  or
        other  modifications  to  Section   817  or  regulations

                                                                5
        thereunder  and  will notify Golden American  immediately
        upon  having  a reasonable basis for believing  that  the
        Trust (or any Series thereof) has ceased to comply.

        Golden  American  shall  notify  the  Trust  and  Western
        Capital  immediately upon having a reasonable  basis  for
        believing  that  the  Trust (or any Series  thereof)  has
        ceased  to comply with the diversification provisions  of
        Section  817(h)  of  the Code or the  regulations  issued
        thereunder  and  any  prospective  amendments  or   other
        modifications  to Section 817 or regulations  thereunder,
        PROVIDED  HOWEVER,  that Golden American's  agreement  to
        notify Western Capital and the Trust with respect to  the
        above  matter contained in this Section 9 will in no  way
        alleviate  or relieve Western Capital's and  the  Trust's
        responsibility under this Section 9.

        Western  Capital or the Trust or both of  them  shall  be
        entitled  to  receive and act upon advice of  counsel  to
        Western  Capital  or the Trust to meet  the  requirements
        specified  in  Sections  8 and 9  and  shall  be  without
        liability  for any action taken or a thing done  (or  for
        any  omission  to  act)  in reliance  upon  such  advice.
        Golden  American  shall promptly  notify  the  Trust  and
        Western  Capital of any pertinent changes,  modifications
        to,  or interpretations of Section 817(h) of the Code and
        the  regulations  issued  thereunder  and  any  successor
        thereto,   or   any  prospective  amendments   or   other
        modifications to Section 817 or regulations thereunder.

        For  purposes  of monitoring whether the  Trust  and  the
        Variable  Accounts are eligible for the  start-up  period
        during  which  the Variable Accounts shall be  considered
        to  be  adequately diversified under paragraph  (c)(2)(i)
        of  Tres.  Reg.  SS 1.817-5T (or any successor  thereof),
        Golden  American shall monitor amounts allocated  to  the
        Variable  Accounts  or  (divisions  thereof)  ("Allocated
        Amounts")  by  owners of Policies funded by the  Variable
        Accounts  (or  divisions thereof) during the  first  year
        after  any  amount received under one of the Policies  is
        first  allocated  to  any Variable Account  (or  division
        thereof)  ("First  Year") to ensure  that  no  more  than
        thirty  (30)  percent  of  the amount  allocated  to  any
        Variable  Account (or division thereof), as of  any  date
        during   such  year,  is  attributable  to  premium   and
        investment  income that was received more than  one  year
        before  such  date  (the  percentage  of  such  Allocated
        Amount  being  referred to hereafter as  the  "Old  Money
        Percentage").   For  this  purpose,  premium  income  and
        investment  income  shall  be  treated  as  received   as
        provided   in  Tres.  Reg.   SS   1.817-5(T)   (or    any
        successor


<PAGE>
<PAGE>
                                                                6
        thereto) or other applicable law and determination  under
        this  provision shall be made consistent with Tres.  Reg.
        SS 1.817-5T(c)(2) or any successor thereto.

        Golden  American will notify Western Capital  immediately
        in  the  event  that the Old Money Percentage  equals  or
        exceeds  twenty  (20) percent as of any date  during  the
        First  Year, determined as prescribed above; and  in  the
        event  that  the Old Money Percentage equals  or  exceeds
        thirty  (30) percent during the First Year, shall  notify
        Western  Capital  and  the Trust immediately  and  advise
        such  parties that the Variable Accounts shall no  longer
        be  considered  adequately diversified during  the  First
        Year  under  paragraph (c)(2)(i) of Regulation  1.817-5T.
        Golden  American  agrees  that Western  Capital  and  the
        Trust  shall  not  be liable for failure  to  meet  their
        responsibilities  under this Section 9 during  the  First
        Year  if  Golden  American  fails  to  comply  with   the
        monitoring and notice responsibilities specified in  this
        Section 9.

10.     The   Trust  and  Western  Capital  agree  that  separate
        accounts  of  Golden  American  and  of  other  insurance
        companies  acceptable to the Trust  and  Western  Capital
        will  have the right to purchase and sell shares  of  the
        Series  of  the Trust.  The Variable Accounts agree  that
        they will invest only in shares of the Trust.

11.     Western  Capital  and  the  Trust  will  provide   Golden
        American  and  its auditors with any information  it  may
        reasonable  request, and with access to  such  books  and
        records  that  relate to the ordinary operating  expenses
        of the Trust.

12.     The  Trust will not sell or permit the sale of shares  of
        the   Trust   to  separate  accounts  of  life  insurance
        companies  that  are  not affiliates of  Golden  American
        without  first  obtaining an appropriate exemptive  order
        from  the SEC, unless the rules under the ICA are amended
        to   permit  "shared  funding"  without  first  obtaining
        individual exemptive relief.  With respect to serving  as
        the  common  investment  vehicle for  (1)  both  variable
        annuity  contracts and variable life insurance  policies,
        or  (2)  for  variable  life insurance  policies  of  one
        insurer  and  variable  life  insurance  policies  and/or
        variable  annuity  contracts  of  another  insurer,   the
        parties  agree  to  comply with  any  conditions  imposed
        under any exemptive order issued by the  Securities   and
        Exchange  Commission, or as specified in  Rule  6e-2,  or
        Rule  6e-3(T) under the ICA, or, if permanently  adopted,
        Rule 6e-3, as amended, whichever is applicable.

13.     Each  party hereto shall cooperate with each other  party
        and   all  appropriate  governmental  authorities  having
        jurisdiction (including without limitation the  SEC,  the
        NASD and state  insurance regulators)  and shall  permit

        such  authorities  reasonable access  to  its  books  and
        records  in connection with any investigation or  inquiry
        relating   to   this   Agreement  or   the   transactions
        contemplated hereby.

        Golden  American agrees that neither it nor  any  of  its
        affiliates  shall  give  any  information  or  make   any
        representations or statements on behalf of the  Trust  or
        concerning  the  Trust in connection with  the  offer  or
        sale  of  the  Policies  other than  the  information  or
        representations  contained in the Registration  Statement
        for  the  Trust's shares, as such Registration  Statement
        may  be amended or supplemented from time to time, or  in
        reports  or proxy statements for the Trust, or  in  sales
        literature or other promotional material approved by  the
        Trust   or  Western  Capital,  except  with  the  written
        permission of the Trust or Western Capital.

        Western  Capital agrees that neither it nor  any  of  its
        affiliates  shall  give  any  information  or  make   any
        representations or statements on behalf of  the  Policies
        or  concerning the Policies in connection with the  offer
        or  sale,  other  than the information or representations
        contained   in   the  Registration  Statement   for   the
        Policies,  as such Registration Statement may be  amended
        or  supplemented from time to time, or in reports for the
        Polices  or  in  sales  literature or  other  promotional
        material  approved by Golden American or its  affiliates,
        except with the written permission of Golden American  or
        its affiliates.

14.     Western  Capital  shall,  at  its  own  expense,  or   if
        appropriate,  the  expense of the Trust,  provide  Golden
        American  with  at  least three complete  copies  of  all
        registration  statements,  prospectuses,  statements   of
        additional  information,  sales  literature   and   other
        promotional   materials,  applications  for   exemptions,
        request   for   no-action  letters,  and  any   and   all
        amendments to the foregoing, that relate to the Trust  or
        its  shares,  promptly after the filing of such  document
        with  the  SEC  or  other regulatory authorities  or  the
        submission  of  such document to the SEC staff  whichever
        is applicable.

        Golden  American  or  its affiliate  shall,  at  its  own
        expense,  or  if appropriate, the expense of  the  Trust,

        the  Trust  also shall be entitled to assume the  defense
        thereof, with counsel satisfactory to the party named  in
        the  action, and, after notice to such party the  Trust's
        election  to  assume the dense thereof,  the  Indemnified
        Party  shall bear the fees and expenses of any additional
        counsel  retained  by it, Western Capital  shall  not  be
        liable  to such party under this Agreement for any  legal
