This prospectus describes individual flexible premium deferred variable annuity contracts that are issued by The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (Lincoln Life or Company). Three separate contracts are offered in this prospectus, each of which has different features and charges. You must choose from one of the following contracts:

• Lincoln ChoicePlus^SM Design 1 (standard)

• Lincoln ChoicePlus^SM Design 2 (4-year surrender charge)

• Lincoln ChoicePlus^SM Design 3 (3% enhancement)

In deciding which contract to purchase, you should consider which features are important to you, and the amount of separate account and withdrawal charges you are willing to bear relative to your needs. In deciding whether to purchase any of the optional benefits, you should consider the desirability of the benefit relative to its additional cost and to your needs.

These contracts are primarily for use as either a nonqualified annuity or qualified retirement annuity under Sections 408 (IRAs) and 408A (Roth IRAs) of the tax code. Generally, you do not pay federal income tax on the contract's growth until it is paid out. IRAs provide tax deferral however, whether or not the funds are invested in an annuity contract. Further, if your contract is a Roth IRA, you generally will not pay income tax on a distribution, provided certain conditions are met. Therefore, there should be reasons other than tax deferral for acquiring a qualified contract. The contract is designed to accumulate Contract Value and to provide retirement income over a certain period of time or for life, subject to certain conditions.

The benefits offered under these contracts may be a variable or fixed amount, if available, or a combination of both. These contracts also offer a Death Benefit payable upon the death of the Contractowner or Annuitant. This prospectus is used by both new purchasers and current Contractowners. Certain benefits described in this prospectus are no longer available.

The state in which your contract is issued will govern whether or not certain features, riders, restrictions, limitations, charges and fees will apply to your contract. All material state variations are discussed in this prospectus, however, non-material variations may not be discussed. You should refer to your contract regarding state-specific features. Please check with your registered representative regarding their availability.

The minimum initial Purchase Payment for the contract is $10,000. Additional Purchase Payments, subject to certain restrictions, may be made to the contract and must be at least $100 per payment ($25 if transmitted electronically), and at least $300 annually.

Except as noted below, you choose whether your Contract Value accumulates on a variable or a fixed (guaranteed) basis or both. Your contract may not offer a fixed account or if permitted by your contract, we may discontinue accepting Purchase Payments or transfers into the fixed side of the contract at any time. If any portion of your Contract Value is in the fixed account, we promise to pay you your principal and a minimum interest rate. For the life of your contract or during certain periods, we may impose restrictions on the fixed account. Also, an Interest Adjustment may be applied to any withdrawal, surrender or transfer from the fixed account before the expiration date of a Guaranteed Period.

Expenses for contracts offering a Bonus Credit may be higher. Because of this, the amount of the Bonus Credits may, over time, be offset by additional fees and charges.

All Purchase Payments, Bonus Credits and Persistency Credits, if applicable, for benefits on a variable basis will be placed in Lincoln Life Variable Annuity Account N (Variable Annuity Account [VAA]). The VAA is a segregated investment account of Lincoln Life. You take all the investment risk on the Contract Value and the retirement income for amounts placed into one or more of the contract’s variable options. If the Subaccounts you select make money, your Contract Value goes up; if they lose money, it goes down. How much it goes up or down depends on the performance of the Subaccounts you select. We do not guarantee how any of the variable options or their funds will perform. Also, neither the U.S. Government nor any federal agency insures or guarantees your investment in the contract. The contracts are not bank deposits and are not endorsed by any bank or government agency.

Special Terms

In this prospectus, the following terms have the indicated meanings:

5% Enhancement—A feature under Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk), Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0, Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage and 4LATER^® Advantage (Managed Risk) in which the Guaranteed Amount or Income Base, as applicable, minus Purchase Payments and corresponding Bonus Credits received in the preceding Benefit Year, will be increased by 5%, subject to certain conditions.

Access Period—Under i4LIFE^® Advantage, a defined period of time during which we make Regular Income Payments to you while you still have access to your Account Value. This means that you may make withdrawals, surrender the contract, and have a Death Benefit.

Account or Variable Annuity Account (VAA)—The segregated investment account, Account N, into which we set aside and invest the assets for the variable side of the contract offered in this prospectus.

Account Value—Under i4LIFE^®Advantage, the initial Account Value is the Contract Value on the Valuation Date that i4LIFE^® Advantage is effective (or initial Purchase Payment if i4LIFE^®Advantage is purchased at contract issue), less any applicable premium taxes. During the Access Period, the Account Value on a Valuation Date equals the total value of all of the Contractowner's Accumulation Units plus the Contractowner's value in the fixed account, reduced by Regular Income Payments, Guaranteed Income Benefit payments and withdrawals.

Accumulation Unit—A measure used to calculate Contract Value for the variable side of the contract before the Annuity Commencement Date and to calculate the i4LIFE^® Advantage Account Value during the Access Period.

Annuitant—The person upon whose life the annuity benefit payments are based, and upon whose death a Death Benefit may be paid.

Annuity Commencement Date—The Valuation Date when funds are withdrawn or converted into Annuity Units or fixed dollar payout for payment of retirement income benefits under the Annuity Payout option you select (other than i4LIFE^® Advantage).

Annuity Payout—A regularly scheduled payment (under any of the available annuity options) that occurs after the Annuity Commencement Date (or Periodic Income Commencement Date if i4LIFE^® Advantage has been elected). Payments may be variable or fixed, or a combination of both.

Annuity Unit—A measure used to calculate the amount of Annuity Payouts for the variable side of the contract after the Annuity Commencement Date. See Annuity Payouts.

Automatic Annual Step-up—Under Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk), Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0, Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage and 4LATER^® Advantage (Managed Risk), the Guaranteed Amount

or Income Base, as applicable, will automatically step-up to the Contract Value on each Benefit Year anniversary, subject to certain conditions.

Beneficiary—The person you choose to receive any Death Benefit paid if you die before the Annuity Commencement Date.

Benefit Year—Under Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk), Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0, Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage, Lincoln SmartSecurity^® Advantage and 4LATER^® Advantage (Managed Risk), the 12-month period starting with the effective date of the rider and starting with each anniversary of the rider effective date after that. Under Lincoln SmartSecurity^® Advantage, if the Contractowner elects a step-up, the Benefit Year will begin on the effective date of the step-up and each anniversary of the step-up after that.

Bonus Credit—If you select Design 3, the additional amount credited to the contract for each Purchase Payment.

Contractowner (you, your, owner)—The person who can exercise the rights within the contract (decides on investment allocations, transfers, payout option, designates the Beneficiary, etc.). Usually, but not always, the Contractowner is the Annuitant.

Contract Value (may be referred to as Account Value in marketing materials)—At any given time before the Annuity Commencement Date, the total value of all Accumulation Units of a contract plus the value of the fixed side of the contract, if any.

Contract Year—Each 12-month period starting with the effective date of the contract and starting with each contract anniversary after that.

Death Benefit—Before the Annuity Commencement Date, the amount payable to your designated Beneficiary if the Contractowner dies. As an alternative, the Contractowner may receive a Death Benefit on the death of the Annuitant prior to the Annuity Commencement Date.

Earnings—The excess of Contract Value over the sum of Bonus Credits, Persistency Credits and Purchase Payments which have not yet been withdrawn from the contract.

Enhancement Period—Under Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk), Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0, Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage, and 4LATER^® Advantage (Managed Risk), the 10-year period during which the 5% Enhancement is in effect. A new Enhancement Period will begin each time an Automatic Annual Step-up to the Contract Value occurs.

Excess Withdrawals—Amounts withdrawn during a Benefit Year, as specified for each Living Benefit Rider, which decrease or eliminate the guarantees under the rider.

Good Order—The actual receipt at our Home Office of the requested transaction in writing or by other means we accept,

5

along with all information and supporting legal documentation necessary to effect the transaction. The forms we provide will identify the necessary documentation. We may, in our sole discretion, determine whether any particular transaction request is in Good Order, and we reserve the right to change or waive any Good Order requirements at any time.

Guaranteed Amount—The value used to calculate your withdrawal benefit under Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage or Lincoln SmartSecurity^® Advantage.

Guaranteed Period—The period during which Contract Value in a fixed account will be credited a guaranteed interest rate.

Income Base—Under Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk) and Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0, a value used to calculate the Guaranteed Annual Income amount. Under 4LATER^® Advantage (Managed Risk) or 4LATER^® Advantage, the Income Base will be used to calculate the minimum payouts available under your contract at a later date. The amount of the Income Base varies based on when you elect the rider, and is adjusted as set forth in this prospectus.

Interest Adjustment—An upward or downward adjustment on the amount of Contract Value in the fixed account upon a transfer, withdrawal or surrender of Contract Value from the fixed account due to fluctuations in interest rates.

Investment Requirements—Restrictions in how you may allocate your Subaccount investments if you own certain Living Benefit Riders.

Lifetime Income Period—Under i4LIFE^® Advantage, the period of time following the Access Period during which we make Regular Income Payments to you (and Secondary Life, if applicable) for the rest of your life. During the Lifetime Income Period, you will no longer have access to your Account Value or receive a Death Benefit.

Summary of Common Questions

What kind of contract am I buying? It is an individual variable and interest adjusted, if applicable, annuity contract between you and Lincoln Life. This prospectus primarily describes the variable side of the contract. You may purchase any one of the contracts offered in this prospectus: Lincoln ChoicePlus^SMDesign 1 (standard), Lincoln ChoicePlus^SMDesign 2 (4-year surrender charge), and Lincoln ChoicePlus^SMDesign 3 (3% enhancement). See The Contracts – Contracts Offered in this Prospectus. This contract and certain riders, benefits, service features and enhancements may not be available in all states, and the charges may vary in certain states. You should refer to your contract for any state-specific provisions as not all state variations are discussed in this prospectus. Please check with your registered representative regarding their availability.

What is the Variable Annuity Account (VAA)? It is a separate account we established under Indiana insurance law, and registered with the SEC as a unit investment trust. VAA assets are allocated to one or more Subaccounts, according to your investment choices. VAA assets are not chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business which we may conduct. See Variable Annuity Account.

What are Sample Portfolios? Sample portfolios are designed to assist you in deciding how to allocate your initial Purchase Payment among the various Subaccounts. Each sample portfolio consists of several Subaccounts that invest in underlying funds, each of which represents a specified percentage of your Purchase Payment. See The Contracts – Sample Portfolios.

What are Asset Allocation Models? Asset allocation models are designed to assist you in deciding how to allocate your Purchase Payments among the various Subaccounts. Each model provides a diversified investment portfolio by combining different asset classes to help it reach its stated investment goal. See The Contracts – Asset Allocation Models.

What are Investment Requirements? If you elect a Living Benefit Rider (except i4LIFE^®Advantage without Guaranteed Income Benefit), you will be subject to certain requirements for your Subaccount investments, which means you may be limited in how much you can invest in certain Subaccounts. Different Investment Requirements apply to different riders. If you elect Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk), i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit (Managed Risk) or 4LATER^® Advantage (Managed Risk), you will have more restrictive Investment Requirements. Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage Plus also has specific Investment Requirements, but is no longer available for purchase. See The Contracts – Investment Requirements.

What are my investment choices? You may allocate your Purchase Payments to the VAA or to the fixed account, if available. Based upon your instruction for Purchase Payments, the VAA applies your Purchase Payments , Bonus Credits and Persistency Credits, if applicable, to one or more of the Subaccounts, which, in turn, invest in a correlating underlying fund. Each fund holds a portfolio of securities consistent with its investment policy. See Investments of the Variable Annuity Account – Description of the Funds.

Who invests my money? Several different investment advisers manage the investment options. See Investments of the Variable Annuity Account – Description of the Funds.

How does the contract work? If we approve your application, we will send you a contract. When you make Purchase Payments during the accumulation phase, you buy Accumulation Units. If you choose Design 3, you also receive Bonus Credits. If you decide to receive an Annuity Payout, your Accumulation Units are converted to Annuity Units. Your Annuity Payouts will be based on the number of Annuity Units you receive and the value of each Annuity Unit on payout days. See The Contracts.

What charges do I pay under the contract? We apply a charge to the daily net asset value of the VAA that consists of a mortality and expense risk charge according to the Death Benefit you select. There is an administrative charge in addition to the mortality and expense risk charge. The charges for any riders applicable to your contract will also be deducted from your Contract Value. See Charges and Other Deductions.

If you withdraw Purchase Payments, you may pay a surrender charge of a certain percentage of the surrendered or withdrawn Purchase Payment, depending upon which contract you have purchased, and how long those payments have been invested in the contract. For purposes of calculating surrender charges, we assume that all withdrawals prior to the seventh anniversary of Design 1 and Design 3 contracts (and the fourth anniversary of Design 2 contracts) come first from Purchase Payments. We may waive surrender charges in certain situations. See Charges and Other Deductions – Surrender Charge.

We will deduct any applicable premium tax from Purchase Payments or Contract Value, unless the governmental entity dictates otherwise, at the time the tax is incurred or at another time we choose.

See Expense Tables and Charges and Other Deductions for additional fees and expenses in these contracts.

The funds' investment management fees, expenses and expense limitations, if applicable, are more fully described in the prospectuses for the funds.

21

The surrender, withdrawal or transfer of value before the end of the applicable Guaranteed Period associated with any investment in the fixed account may be subject to the Interest Adjustment, if applicable. See Fixed Side of the Contract.

Charges may also be imposed during the regular income or Annuity Payout period, including i4LIFE^® Advantage, if elected. See The Contracts and Annuity Payouts.

For information about the compensation we pay for sales of contracts, see The Contracts – Distribution of the Contracts.

What Purchase Payments do I make, and how often? Your Purchase Payments are completely flexible, subject to minimum and maximum Purchase Payment amounts. For more information, see The Contracts – Purchase Payments.

Am I limited in the amount of Purchase Payments I can make into the contract? Yes, Purchase Payments totaling $2 million or more are subject to Home Office approval. This amount takes into consideration the total Purchase Payments for all variable annuity contracts issued by the Company (or its affiliates) (excludingLincoln Investor Advantage^® contracts) for the same Contractowner, joint owner, and/or Annuitant. Upon advance written notice, we reserve the right to further limit, restrict, or suspend Purchase Payments made to the contract.

If you elect a Living Benefit Rider (other than i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit or Lincoln Long-Term Care^SM Advantage), after the first anniversary of the rider effective date, once cumulative additional Purchase Payments exceed $100,000, additional Purchase Payments will be limited to $50,000 per Benefit Year. State variations may apply. Please check with your registered representative. If you elect any version of i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit, no additional Purchase Payments will be allowed at any time after the Periodic Income Commencement Date. If you elect i4LIFE^® Advantage without Guaranteed Income Benefit, no additional Purchase Payments will be allowed after the Periodic Income Commencement Date for nonqualified contracts. If you elect the Lincoln Long-Term Care^SM Advantage rider, no additional Purchase Payments can be made after 90 days from the contract effective date. For more information about these restrictions and limitations, please see The Contracts – Purchase Payments section in this prospectus.

What is a Bonus Credit and a Persistency Credit? If you purchase Design 3, when Purchase Payments are made, we will credit an additional 3% to the contract, known as a Bonus Credit. The amount of the Bonus Credit is calculated as a percentage of the Purchase Payments. All Bonus Credits become part of the Contract Value at the same time as the corresponding Purchase Payments. Bonus Credits are not considered to be Purchase Payments. See The Contracts – Bonus Credits.

If you purchase Design 2, a Persistency Credit of 0.1125% of Contract Value less Purchase Payments that have been in the contract less than four years will be credited on a quarterly basis after the fourth anniversary. See The Contracts – Persistency Credits.

If you purchase Design 3, a Persistency Credit of 0.1125% of Contract Value less Purchase Payments that have been in the contract less than seven years will be credited on a quarterly basis after the seventh anniversary. See The Contracts – Persistency Credits.

Annuity contracts that have no provision for Bonus Credits or Persistency Credits may have lower mortality and expense risk charges and/or lower surrender charges. During the surrender charge period, the amount of Bonus Credit may be more than offset by higher surrender charges associated with the Bonus Credit. Persistency Credits, when available, are designed to fully or partially offset these additional charges. We encourage you to talk with your registered representative and determine which annuity contract is most appropriate for you.

How will my Annuity Payouts be calculated? If you decide to annuitize, you may select an annuity option and start receiving Annuity Payouts from your contract as a fixed option or variable option or a combination of both. See Annuity Payouts - Annuity Options. Remember that participants in the VAA benefit from any gain, and take a risk of any loss, in the value of the securities in the funds' portfolios, which would decrease the amount applied to any payout option and the related payments.

What happens if I die before I annuitize? The Death Benefit may be paid upon the death of either the Contractowner or the Annuitant. Upon the death of the Contractowner, your Beneficiary will receive Death Benefit proceeds based upon the Death Benefit you select. Your Beneficiary has options as to how the Death Benefit is paid. In the alternative, the Contractowner may choose to receive a Death Benefit on the death of the Annuitant. See The Contracts – Death Benefit.

What happens if I die on or after the Annuity Commencement Date? Once you reach the Annuity Commencement Date, any applicable Death Benefit will terminate.

May I transfer Contract Value between variable options and between the variable and fixed sides of the contract? Yes, subject to certain restrictions. Generally, transfers made before the Annuity Commencement Date are restricted to no more than twelve (12) per Contract Year. The minimum amount that can be transferred to the fixed account is $2,000 (unless the total amount in the Subaccounts is less than $2,000). If transferring funds from the fixed account to a Subaccount, you may only transfer up to 25% of the total value invested in the fixed account in any 12-month period. The minimum amount that may be transferred is $300. Transfers from the fixed account may be subject to an Interest Adjustment. If permitted by your contract, we may discontinue accepting transfers into the fixed side of the contract at any time. See The Contracts – Transfers On or Before the Annuity Commencement Date and Transfers After the Annuity Commencement Date. For further information, see also the Fixed Side of the Contract and Guaranteed Periods.

What are Living Benefit Riders? Living Benefit Riders are optional riders available to purchase for an additional fee. These riders provide different types of minimum guarantees if you meet certain conditions. These riders offer either a minimum withdrawal benefit (Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk), Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0, Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage and Lincoln SmartSecurity^® Advantage) or a minimum Annuity Payout (4LATER^® Advantage (Managed Risk), 4LATER^® Advantage and i4LIFE^® Advantage with or without the Guaranteed Income Benefit). In addition, the Lincoln Long-Term Care^SM Advantage (a qualified long-term care benefit rider) may be available under your contract. If you select a Living Benefit Rider, Excess Withdrawals may have adverse effects on the benefit (especially during times of poor investment performance), and you will be subject to Investment Requirements (unless you elect i4LIFE^® Advantage without Guaranteed Income Benefit). Excess Withdrawals under certain Living Benefit Riders may result in a reduction or premature termination of those benefits or of those riders. If you are not certain how an Excess Withdrawal will reduce your future guaranteed amounts, you should contact either your registered representative or us prior to requesting a withdrawal to find out what, if any, impact the Excess Withdrawal will have on any guarantees under the Living Benefit Rider. Any guarantees under the contract that exceed your Contract Value are subject to our financial strength and claims-paying ability.

The riders that are currently available are: Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk), 4LATER^® Advantage (Managed Risk), i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit (Managed Risk), i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit (version 4), i4LIFE^® Advantage (without Guaranteed Income Benefit) and Lincoln Long-Term Care^SM Advantage.

The Guaranteed Amount is not available as a separate benefit upon death or surrender and is increased by subsequent Purchase Payments, Automatic Annual Step-ups, the 5% Enhancements, and the Step-up to 200% (if applicable to your contract) of the initial Guaranteed Amount and is decreased by withdrawals in accordance with provisions described later in this prospectus.

What is i4LIFE^® Advantage?i4LIFE^® Advantage is an Annuity Payout option, available for purchase at an additional charge, that provides periodic variable lifetime income payments. A Death Benefit and the ability to make withdrawals are available during a defined period of time (Access Period). For an additional charge, you may purchase a minimum payout floor, the Guaranteed Income Benefit. We assess a charge, imposed only during the i4LIFE^® Advantage payout phase, based on the i4LIFE^® Advantage Death Benefit you choose and whether or not the Guaranteed Income Benefit is in effect.

What is i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit? The Guaranteed Income Benefit provides a minimum payout floor for your i4LIFE^® Advantage Regular Income Payments. The Guaranteed Income Benefit may be purchased when you elect i4LIFE^® Advantage or any time during the Access Period subject to terms and conditions at that time. The minimum floor is based on the Contract Value at the time you elect i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit. Certain Living Benefit Riders have features that may be used to establish the amount of the Guaranteed Income Benefit. You may use your Income Base from Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk) or 4LATER^® Advantage (Managed Risk) to establish the Guaranteed Income Benefit (Managed Risk) at the time you terminate that rider to purchase i4LIFE^® Advantage. The Guaranteed Amount or Income Base from other Living Benefit Riders may also be used to establish the i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit. See The Contracts – Living Benefit Riders – Guaranteed Income Benefit with i4LIFE^® Advantage, 4LATER^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit, Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk), Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage, Lincoln SmartSecurity^® Advantage and 4LATER^® Advantage (Managed Risk). i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit (Managed Risk) andi4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit (version 4) are the only versions of this rider available for purchase unless you are guaranteed the right to elect a prior version under another Living Benefit Rider.

You cannot simultaneously elect 4LATER^® Advantage with any other Living Benefit Rider. There is an additional charge for this rider, and you will be subject to Investment Requirements. See The Contracts – Investment Requirements. This rider is no longer available for purchase.

What is Lincoln Long-Term Care^SM Advantage?

These benefits are paid to you income tax-free. In addition, you have the opportunity to increase your tax-free long-term care benefits if there is investment gain in your contract. The LTC rider may only be purchased at the time the contract is issued. The Lincoln Long-Term Care^SM Advantage rider is not available on the Design 3 contract. You cannot simultaneously elect the LTC rider with any other Living Benefit Rider. In addition, the EEB Death Benefit is not available for purchasers of the LTC rider.

May I surrender the contract or make a withdrawal? Yes, subject to contract requirements and to the restrictions of any qualified retirement plan for which the contract was purchased. See The Contracts – Surrenders and Withdrawals. If you surrender the contract or make a withdrawal, certain charges may apply. See Charges and Other Deductions. A portion of surrender or withdrawal proceeds may be taxable. In addition, if you decide to take a distribution before age 59½, a 10% Internal Revenue Service (IRS) tax penalty may apply. A surrender or a withdrawal also may be subject to 20% withholding. See Federal Tax Matters.

Do I get a free look at this contract? Yes. You can cancel the contract within ten days (in some states longer) of the date you first receive the contract. You need to return the contract, postage prepaid, to our Home Office. In most states you assume the risk of any market drop on Purchase Payments you allocate to the variable side of the contract. We will not refund any applicable Bonus Credits credited to your Contract Value if you elect to cancel your contract; however, we will assume the risk of investment loss on the Bonus Credits. See Return Privilege.

Where may I find more information about Accumulation Unit values? Appendix A to this prospectus provides more information about Accumulation Unit values.

Investment Results

At times, the VAA may compare its investment results to various unmanaged indices or other variable annuities in reports to shareholders, sales literature and advertisements. The results will be calculated on a total return basis for various periods, with or without surrender charges. Results calculated without surrender charges will be higher. Total returns include the reinvestment of all distributions, which are reflected in changes in unit value. The money market Subaccount's yield is based upon investment performance over a 7-day period, which is then annualized.

Note that there can be no assurance that any money market fund will be able to maintain a stable net asset value per share. During extended periods of low interest rates, and due in part to the contract fees and expenses, the yields of any Subaccount investing in a money market fund may also become extremely low and possibly negative.

The money market yield figure and annual performance of the Subaccounts are based on past performance and do not indicate or represent future performance.

The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company

The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (Lincoln Life or Company), organized in 1905, is an Indiana-domiciled insurance company, engaged primarily in the direct issuance of life insurance contracts and annuities. Lincoln Life is wholly owned by Lincoln National Corporation (LNC), a publicly held insurance and financial services holding company incorporated in Indiana. Lincoln Life is obligated to pay all amounts promised to Contractowners under the contracts.

Depending on when you purchased your contract, you may be permitted to make allocations to the fixed account, which is part of our general account. See The Fixed Side of the Contract. In addition, any guarantees under the contract that exceed your Contract Value, such as those associated with Death Benefit options and Living Benefit Riders are paid from our general account (not the VAA). Therefore, any amounts that we may pay under the contract in excess of Contract Value are subject to our financial strength and claims-paying ability and our long-term ability to make such payments. With respect to the issuance of the contracts, Lincoln Life does not file periodic financial reports with the SEC pursuant to the exemption for life insurance companies provided under Rule 12h-7 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

We issue other types of insurance policies and financial products as well, and we also pay our obligations under these products from our assets in the general account. Moreover, unlike assets held in the VAA, the assets of the general account are subject to the general liabilities of the Company and, therefore, to the Company’s general creditors. In the event of an insolvency or receivership, payments we make from our general account to satisfy claims under the contract would generally receive the same priority as our other Contractowner obligations.

The general account is not segregated or insulated from the claims of the insurance company’s creditors. Investors look to the financial strength of the insurance companies for these insurance guarantees. Therefore, guarantees provided by the insurance company as to benefits promised in the prospectus are subject to the claims paying ability of the insurance company and are subject to the risk that the insurance company may not be able to cover or may default on its obligations under those guarantees.

Our Financial Condition.  Among the laws and regulations applicable to us as an insurance company are those which regulate the investments we can make with assets held in our general account. In general, those laws and regulations determine the amount and type of investments which we can make with general account assets.

In addition, state insurance regulations require that insurance companies calculate and establish on their financial statements, a specified amount of reserves in order to meet the contractual obligations to pay the claims of our Contractowners. In order to meet our claims-paying obligations, we regularly monitor our reserves to ensure we hold sufficient amounts to cover actual or expected contract and claims payments. However, it is important to note that there is no guarantee that we will always be able to meet our claims paying obligations, and that there are risks to purchasing any insurance product.

State insurance regulators also require insurance companies to maintain a minimum amount of capital in excess of liabilities, which acts as a cushion in the event that the insurer suffers a financial impairment, based on the inherent risks in the insurer’s operations. These risks include those associated with losses that we may incur as the result of defaults on the payment of interest or principal on assets held in our general account, which include bonds, mortgages, general real estate investments, and stocks, as well as the loss in value of these investments resulting from a loss in their market value.

How to Obtain More Information.  We encourage both existing and prospective Contractowners to read and understand our financial statements. We prepare our financial statements on both a statutory basis and according to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). Our audited GAAP financial statements, as well as the financial statements of the VAA, are located in the SAI. If you would like a free copy of the SAI, please write to us at: PO Box 2348, Fort Wayne, IN 46801-2348, or call 1-888-868-2583. In addition, the Statement of Additional Information is available on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov. You may obtain our audited statutory financial statements and any unaudited statutory financial statements that may be available by visiting our website at www.LincolnFinancial.com.

You also will find on our website information on ratings assigned to us by one or more independent rating organizations. These ratings are opinions of an operating insurance company’s financial capacity to meet the obligations of its insurance and annuity contracts based on its financial strength and/or claims-paying ability. Additional information about rating agencies is included in the Statement of Additional Information.

Lincoln Financial Group is the marketing name for Lincoln National Corporation (NYSE:LNC) and its affiliates. Through its affiliates, Lincoln Financial Group offers annuities, life, group life and disability insurance, 401(k) and 403(b) plans, and comprehensive financial planning and advisory services.

Variable Annuity Account (VAA)

On November 3, 1997, the VAA was established as an insurance company separate account under Indiana law. It is registered with the SEC as a unit investment trust under the provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act). The VAA is a segregated investment account, meaning that its assets may not be charged with liabilities resulting from any other business that we may conduct. Income, gains and losses, whether realized or not, from assets allocated to the VAA are, in accordance with the applicable annuity contracts, credited to or charged against the VAA. They are credited or charged without regard to any other income, gains or losses of Lincoln Life. We are the issuer of the contracts and the obligations set forth in the contract, other than those of the Contractowner, are ours. The VAA satisfies the definition of a separate account under the federal securities laws. We do not guarantee the investment performance of the VAA. Any investment gain or loss depends on the investment performance of the funds. You assume the full investment risk for all amounts placed in the VAA.

The VAA is used to support other annuity contracts offered by us in addition to the contracts described in this prospectus. The other annuity contracts supported by the VAA generally invest in the same funds as the contracts described in this prospectus. These other annuity contracts may have different charges that could affect the performance of their Subaccounts, and they offer different benefits.

Financial Statements

The December 31, 2014 financial statements of the VAA and the December 31, 2014 consolidated financial statements of Lincoln Life are located in the SAI. If you would like a free copy of the SAI, complete and mail the request on the last page of this prospectus, or call 1-888-868-2583.

Investments of the Variable Annuity Account

You decide the Subaccount(s) to which you allocate Purchase Payments. For owners of the Design 3 contract, Bonus Credits are allocated to the Subaccounts at the same time and at the same percentage as the Purchase Payments being made. There is a separate Subaccount which corresponds to each class of each fund. You may change your allocation without penalty or charges. Shares of the funds will be sold at net asset value with no initial sales charge to the VAA in order to fund the contracts. The funds are required to redeem fund shares at net asset value upon our request.

Investment Advisers

As compensation for its services to the funds, each investment adviser for each fund receives a fee from the funds which is accrued daily and paid monthly. This fee is based on the net assets of each fund, as defined in the prospectuses for the funds.

Certain Payments We Receive with Regard to the Funds

We (or our affiliates) incur expenses in promoting, marketing, and administering the contracts and the underlying funds. With respect to a fund, including affiliated funds, the adviser and/or distributor, or an affiliate thereof, may make payments to us (or an affiliate) for certain services we provide on behalf of the funds. Such services include, but are not limited to, recordkeeping; aggregating and processing purchase and redemption orders; providing Contractowners with statements showing their positions within the funds; processing dividend payments; providing subaccounting services for shares held by Contractowners; and forwarding shareholder communications, such as proxies, shareholder reports, dividend and tax notices, and printing and delivering prospectuses and updates to Contractowners. It is anticipated that such payments will be based on a percentage of assets of the particular fund attributable to the contracts along with certain other variable contracts issued or administered by us (or an affiliate). These percentages are negotiated and vary with each fund. Some advisers and/or distributors may pay us significantly more than other advisors and/or distributors and the amount we receive may be substantial. These percentages currently range up to 0.50%. We (or our affiliates) may profit from these payments. These payments may be derived, in whole or in part, from the investment advisory fee deducted from fund assets. Contractowners, through their indirect investment in the funds, bear the costs of these investment advisory fees (see the funds' prospectuses for more information). Additionally, a fund's adviser and/or distributor or its affiliates may provide us with certain services

26

that assist us in the distribution of the contracts and may pay us and/or certain affiliates amounts for marketing programs and sales support, as well as amounts to participate in training and sales meetings.

In addition to the payments described above, most of the funds offered as part of this contract make payments to us under their distribution plans (12b-1 plans) for the marketing and distribution of fund shares. The payment rates range up to 0.55% based on the amount of assets invested in those funds. Payments made out of the assets of the fund will reduce the amount of assets that otherwise would be available for investment, and will reduce the fund's investment return. The dollar amount of future asset-based fees is not predictable because these fees are a percentage of the fund's average net assets, which can fluctuate over time. If, however, the value of the fund goes up, then so would the payment to us (or our affiliates). Conversely, if the value of the funds goes down, payments to us or our affiliates would decrease.

Description of the Funds

Each of the Subaccounts of the VAA is invested solely in shares of one of the funds available under the contract. Each fund may be subject to certain investment policies and restrictions which may not be changed without a majority vote of shareholders of that fund.

We select the funds offered through the contract based on several factors, including, without limitation, asset class coverage, the strength of the manager's reputation and tenure, brand recognition, performance, and the capability and qualification of each sponsoring investment firm. Another factor we consider during the initial selection process is whether the fund or an affiliate of the fund will make payments to us or our affiliates. We may also consider the ability of the fund to help manage volatility and our risks associated with the guarantees we provide under the contract and under optional riders, especially the Living Benefit Riders. We review each fund periodically after it is selected. We reserve the right to remove a fund or restrict allocation of additional Purchase Payments to a fund if we determine the fund no longer meets one or more of the factors and/or if the fund has not attracted significant Contractowner assets. Finally, when we develop a variable annuity product in cooperation with a fund family or distributor (e.g., a “private label” product), we generally will include funds based on recommendations made by the fund family or distributor, whose selection criteria may differ from our selection criteria.

Certain funds offered as part of this contract have similar investment objectives and policies to other portfolios managed by the adviser. The investment results of the funds, however, may be higher or lower than the other portfolios that are managed by the adviser or sub-adviser. There can be no assurance, and no representation is made, that the investment results of any of the funds will be comparable to the investment results of any other portfolio managed by the adviser or sub-adviser, if applicable.

Certain funds invest their assets in other funds. As a result, you will pay fees and expenses at both fund levels. This will reduce your investment return. These arrangements are referred to as funds of funds or master-feeder funds. Funds of funds or master-feeder structures may have higher expenses than funds that invest directly in debt or equity securities. An advisor affiliated with us manages some of the available funds of funds. Our affiliates may promote the benefits of such funds to Contractowners and/or suggest that Contractowners consider whether allocating some or all of their Contract Value to such portfolios is consistent with their desired investment objectives. In doing so, we may be subject to conflicts of interest insofar as we may derive greater revenues from the affiliated fund of funds than certain other funds available to you under your contract.

Certain funds may employ risk management strategies to provide for downside protection during sharp downward movements in equity markets. These strategies could limit the upside participation of the fund in rising equity markets relative to other funds. The Death Benefits and Living Benefit Riders offered under the contract also provide protection in the event of a market downturn. Likewise, there are additional costs associated with the Death Benefits and Living Benefit Riders, which can limit the contract’s upside participation in the markets. Many of these funds are included in the Investment Requirements associated with the Living Benefit Riders. For more information on these funds and their risk management strategies, please see the Investment Requirements section of this prospectus. You should consult with your registered representative to determine which combination of investment choices and Death Benefit and/or Living Benefit Rider purchases (if any) are appropriate for you.

Following are brief summaries of the fund descriptions. More detailed information may be obtained from the current prospectus for each fund. You should read each fund prospectus carefully before investing. Prospectuses for each fund are available by contacting us. In addition, if you receive a summary prospectus for a fund, you may obtain a full statutory prospectus by referring to the contact information for the fund company on the cover page of the summary prospectus. Please be advised that there is no assurance that any of the funds will achieve their stated objectives.

Fund Shares

We will purchase shares of the funds at net asset value and direct them to the appropriate Subaccounts of the VAA. We will redeem sufficient shares of the appropriate funds to pay Annuity Payouts, Death Benefits, surrender/withdrawal proceeds or for other purposes described in the contract. If you want to transfer all or part of your investment from one Subaccount to another, we may redeem shares held in the first Subaccount and purchase shares of the other. Redeemed shares are retired, but they may be reissued later.

Shares of the funds are not sold directly to the general public. They are sold to us, and may be sold to other insurance companies, for investment of the assets of the Subaccounts established by those insurance companies to fund variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts.

When a fund sells any of its shares both to variable annuity and to variable life insurance separate accounts, it is said to engage in mixed funding. When a fund sells any of its shares to separate accounts of unaffiliated life insurance companies, it is said to engage in shared funding.

The funds currently engage in mixed and shared funding. Therefore, due to differences in redemption rates or tax treatment, or other considerations, the interest of various Contractowners participating in a fund could conflict. Each of the fund’s Board of Directors will monitor for the existence of any material conflicts, and determine what action, if any, should be taken. The funds do not foresee any disadvantage to Contractowners arising out of mixed or shared funding. If such a conflict were to occur, one of the separate accounts might withdraw its investment in a fund. This might force a fund to sell portfolio securities at disadvantageous prices. See the prospectuses for the funds.

Reinvestment of Dividends and Capital Gain Distributions

All dividends and capital gain distributions of the funds are automatically reinvested in shares of the distributing funds at their net asset value on the date of distribution. Dividends are not paid out to Contractowners as additional units, but are reflected as changes in unit values.

32

Addition, Deletion or Substitution of Investments

We reserve the right, within the law, to make certain changes to the structure and operation of the VAA at our discretion and without your consent. We may add, delete, or substitute funds for all Contractowners or only for certain classes of Contractowners. New or substitute funds may have different fees and expenses, and may only be offered to certain classes of Contractowners.

Substitutions may be made with respect to existing investments or the investment of future Purchase Payments, or both. We may close Subaccounts to allocations of Purchase Payments or Contract Value, or both, at any time in our sole discretion. The funds, which sell their shares to the Subaccounts pursuant to participation agreements, also may terminate these agreements and discontinue offering their shares to the Subaccounts. Substitutions might also occur if shares of a fund should no longer be available, or if investment in any fund’s shares should become inappropriate, in the judgment of our management, for the purposes of the contract, or for any other reason in our sole discretion and, if required, after approval from the SEC.

We may also:

• remove, combine, or add Subaccounts and make the new Subaccounts available to you at our discretion;

• transfer assets supporting the contracts from one Subaccount to another or from the VAA to another separate account;

• combine the VAA with other separate accounts and/or create new separate accounts;

• deregister the VAA under the 1940 Act; and

• operate the VAA as a management investment company under the 1940 Act or as any other form permitted by law.

We may modify the provisions of the contracts to reflect changes to the Subaccounts and the VAA and to comply with applicable law. We will not make any changes without any necessary approval by the SEC. We will also provide you written notice.

Charges and Other Deductions

We will deduct the charges described below to cover our costs and expenses, services provided and risks assumed under the contracts. We incur certain costs and expenses for the distribution and administration of the contracts and for providing the benefits payable thereunder.

Our administrative services include:

• processing applications for and issuing the contracts;

• processing purchases and redemptions of fund shares as required (including dollar cost averaging, cross-reinvestment, portfolio rebalancing, and automatic withdrawal services – See Additional Services and the SAI for more information on these programs);

• maintaining records;

• administering Annuity Payouts;

• furnishing accounting and valuation services (including the calculation and monitoring of daily Subaccount values);

• reconciling and depositing cash receipts;

• providing contract confirmations;

• providing toll-free inquiry services; and

• furnishing telephone and other electronic surrenders, withdrawals and fund transfer services.

The risks we assume include:

• the risk that Annuitants receiving Annuity Payouts live longer than we assumed when we calculated our guaranteed rates (these rates are incorporated in the contract and cannot be changed);

• the risk that lifetime payments to individuals from Living Benefit Riders will exceed the Contract Value;

• the risk that Death Benefits paid will exceed the actual Contract Value;

• the risk that more Contractowners than expected will qualify for waivers of the surrender charge;

• the risk that, if a Guaranteed Income Benefit rider is in effect, the required Regular Income Payments will exceed the Account Value;

• the risk that our costs in providing the services will exceed our revenues from contract charges (which we cannot change);

• the risk the Covered Life under the Lincoln Long-Term Care^SM Advantage rider will live longer while receiving benefits than we assumed in the rate setting process (these rates may change subject to state insurance department approval);

• the risk that the actual number of claims under the Lincoln Long-Term Care^SM Advantage rider exceeds the number of claims we assumed in the rate setting process (these rates may change subject to state insurance department approval); and

• the risk that the payments of the Acceleration and Growth Benefit under the Lincoln Long-Term Care^SM Advantage rider exceed the Contract Value.

The amount of a charge may not necessarily correspond to the costs associated with providing the services or benefits indicated by the description of the charge. For example, the surrender charge collected may not fully cover all of the sales and distribution

33

expenses actually incurred by us. Any remaining expenses will be paid from our general account which may consist, among other things, of proceeds derived from mortality and expense risk charges deducted from the account. A portion of the mortality and expense risk and administrative charge and a portion of the surrender charges are assessed to fully or partially recoup any Bonus Credits paid into the contract by us when Purchase Payments are made. We may profit from one or more of the fees and charges deducted under the contract. We may use these profits for any corporate purpose, including financing the distribution of the contracts.

Deductions from the VAA

For the base contract, we apply a charge to the average daily net asset value of the Subaccounts based on which contract and Death Benefit you choose. Those charges are equal to an annual rate of:

	Account Value Death Benefit	Guarantee of Principal Death Benefit	Enhanced Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit (EGMDB)	Estate Enhancement Benefit (EEB)
Design 1 (standard):
Mortality and expense risk charge	1.00%	1.05%	1.30%	1.50%
Administrative charge	0.10%	0.10%	0.10%	0.10%
Total annual charge for each Subaccount	1.10%	1.15%	1.40%	1.60%
Design 2 (4 year surrender charge):
Mortality and expense risk charge	1.45%	1.50%	1.75%	1.95%
Administrative charge	0.10%	0.10%	0.10%	0.10%
Total annual charge for each Subaccount	1.55%	1.60%	1.85%	2.05%
Design 3 (3% enhancement)
Mortality and expense risk charge	1.45%	1.50%	1.75%	1.95%
Administrative charge	0.10%	0.10%	0.10%	0.10%
Total annual charge for each Subaccount	1.55%	1.60%	1.85%	2.05%

Surrender Charge

A surrender charge applies (except as described below) to surrenders and withdrawals of Purchase Payments that have been invested for the periods indicated below. The surrender charge is calculated separately for each Purchase Payment. The contract anniversary is the annually occurring date beginning with the effective date of the contract. For example, if the effective date of your contract is January 1^st, your contract anniversary would be on January 1^st of each subsequent year.

	Surrender charge as a percentage of the surrendered or withdrawn Purchase Payments
Number of contract anniversaries since Purchase Payment was invested	Design 1	Design 2	Design 3
0	6.0%	6.0%	8.5%
1	6.0%	6.0%	8.0%
2	5.0%	5.0%	7.0%
3	5.0%	5.0%	6.0%
4	4.0%	0.0%	5.0%
5	3.0%	0.0%	4.0%
6	2.0%	0.0%	3.0%
7	0.0%	0.0%	0.0%

A surrender charge does not apply to:

• A surrender or withdrawal of a Purchase Payment beyond the seventh anniversary for Design 1 or Design 3, or fourth anniversary for Design 2, since the Purchase Payment was invested;

• Withdrawals of Contract Value during a Contract Year to the extent that the total Contract Value withdrawn during the current Contract Year does not exceed the free amount. The free amount is equal to the greater of 10% of the current Contract Value or 10% of the total Purchase Payments (this does not apply upon surrender of the contract);

34

• Purchase Payments used in the calculation of the initial benefit payment to be made under an Annuity Payout option, other than the i4LIFE^® Advantage option. If you have elected the Design 3 contract, Purchase Payments must be invested for at least twelve months before this provision will apply;

• A surrender or withdrawal of any Purchase Payments, as a result of permanent and total disability of the Contractowner as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the tax code, if the disability occurred after the effective date of the contract and before the 65^th birthday of the Contractowner. For contracts issued in the State of New Jersey, a different definition of permanent and total disability applies. If you have elected the Design 3 contract, Purchase Payments must be invested for at least twelve months before this provision will apply;

• A surviving spouse at the time he or she assumes ownership of the contract as a result of the death of the original owner (however, the surrender charge schedule of the original contract will continue to apply to the spouse's contract);

• A surrender or withdrawal of any Purchase Payments, as a result of the admittance of the Contractowner to an accredited nursing home or equivalent health care facility, where the admittance into the nursing home occurs after the effective date of the contract and the owner has been confined for at least 90 consecutive days. If you have elected the Design 3 contract, Purchase Payments must be invested for at least twelve months before this provision will apply;

• A surrender or withdrawal of any Purchase Payments as a result of the diagnosis of a terminal illness of the Contractowner. Diagnosis of a terminal illness must be after the effective date of the contract and results in a life expectancy of less than one year as determined by a qualified professional medical practitioner. If you have elected the Design 3 contract, Purchase Payments must be invested for at least twelve months before this provision will apply;

• A surrender of the contract as a result of the death of the Contractowner or Annuitant;

• A surrender or annuitization of any applicable Bonus Credits and Persistency Credits;

• Purchase Payments when used in the calculation of the initial Account Value under the i4LIFE^® Advantage option;

• Regular Income Payments made under i4LIFE^® Advantage, including any payments to provide the 4LATER^® or i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefits, or periodic payments made under any Annuity Payout option made available by us;

• Withdrawals up to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount under the Lincoln SmartSecurity^® Advantage or Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage, or to the Guaranteed Annual Income amount under any version of Lincoln Lifetime Income^SMAdvantage 2.0, subject to certain conditions;

• Long-Term Care Benefit payments under the Lincoln Long-Term Care^SM Advantage rider.

For purposes of calculating the surrender charge on withdrawals, we assume that:

1. The free amount will be withdrawn from Purchase Payments on a first in-first out (“FIFO”) basis.

2. Prior to the seventh anniversary for the Design 1 and Design 3 contracts, and the fourth anniversary for the Design 2 contract, any amount withdrawn above the free amount during a Contract Year will be withdrawn in the following order:

• from Purchase Payments (on a FIFO basis) until exhausted; then

• from earnings until exhausted; then

• from any applicable Bonus Credits.

The example below shows the calculation of the surrender charge on a withdrawal from the Design 3 contract based on the following assumptions:

• $50,000 initial Purchase Payment; receives a $1,500 Bonus Credit (3%)

• $30,000 Purchase Payment beginning year 5; receives a $900 Bonus Credit (3%)

• $100,000 Contract Value in year 6 ($17,600 attributed to earnings; $2,400 to Bonus Credits; $80,000 to Purchase Payments)

• $60,000 withdrawal beginning year 6

The $60,000 withdrawal is subject to surrender charges of $2,400 calculated as follows:

• $10,000 is attributed to the free amount (greater of 10% of Contract Value ($10,000) or 10% of Purchase Payments ($8,000)); therefore, no surrender charges are assessed on the first $10,000

• $40,000 of the remaining initial Purchase Payment subject to 4% surrender charge = $1,600

• $10,000 of the next Purchase Payment subject to 8% surrender charge = $800

3. On or after the seventh anniversary for the Design 1 and Design 3 contracts, and the fourth anniversary for the Design 2 contract, any amount withdrawn above the free amount during a Contract Year will be withdrawn in the following order:

• from Purchase Payments (on a FIFO basis) to which a surrender charge no longer applies until exhausted; then

• from earnings and any applicable Persistency Credits until exhausted; then

• from any applicable Bonus Credits attributable to Purchase Payments to which a surrender charge no longer applies until exhausted; then

• from Purchase Payments (on a FIFO basis) to which a surrender charge still applies until exhausted; then

• from any applicable Bonus Credits attributable to Purchase Payments to which a surrender charge still applies.

35

The example below shows the calculation of the surrender charge on a withdrawal from the Design 3 contract based on the following assumptions:

• $50,000 initial Purchase Payment; receives a $1,500 Bonus Credit (3%)

• $30,000 Purchase Payment beginning year 5; receives a $900 Bonus Credit (3%)

• $150,000 Contract Value in year 9 ($67,600 attributed to earnings and Persistency Credits; $2,400 to Bonus Credits; $80,000 to Purchase Payments)

• $125,000 withdrawal beginning year 9

$119,100 of the $125,000 withdrawal is not subject to surrender charges, and is broken down as follows:

• $15,000 attributed to the free amount (greater of 10% of Contract Value ($15,000) or 10% of Purchase Payments ($8,000))

• $35,000 attributed to remaining initial Purchase Payment not subject to surrender charges (invested more than 7 years)

• $67,600 attributed to earnings including Persistency Credits (not subject to surrender charges)

• $1,500 attributed to Bonus Credits on Purchase Payments not subject to surrender charges

$5,900 of the $125,000 withdrawal is subject to a 5% surrender charge since the second Purchase Payment was invested only four Contract Years. The surrender charge is $295.

We apply the surrender charge as a percentage of Purchase Payments, which means that you would pay the same surrender charge at the time of surrender regardless of whether your Contract Value has increased or decreased. The surrender charge is calculated separately for each Purchase Payment. The surrender charges associated with surrender or withdrawal are paid to us to compensate us for the loss we experience on contract distribution costs when Contractowners surrender or withdraw before distribution costs have been recovered.

If the Contractowner is a corporation or other non-individual (non-natural person), the Annuitant or joint Annuitant will be considered the Contractowner or joint owner for purposes of determining when a surrender charge does not apply.

Account Fee

During the accumulation period, we will deduct an account fee of $35 from the Contract Value on each contract anniversary to compensate us for the administrative services provided to you; this $35 account fee will also be deducted from the Contract Value upon surrender. This fee may be lower in certain states, if required, and will be waived after the fifteenth Contract Year. The account fee will be waived for any contract with a Contract Value that is equal to or greater than $100,000 on the contract anniversary. There is no account fee on Design 3 contracts issued to Selling Group Individuals.

Rider Charges

A fee or expense may also be deducted in connection with any benefits added to the contract by rider or endorsement. The deduction of a rider charge will be noted on your quarterly statement.

Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk) Charge. While this rider is in effect, there is a charge for Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk). The rider charge is currently equal to an annual rate of 1.05% (0.2625% quarterly) for the Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk) single life option and 1.25% (0.3125% quarterly) for the Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk) joint life option. The charge for Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk) also applies to an older version of this rider, Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0, which is no longer available for purchase.

The charge is based on the Income Base (initial Purchase Payment if purchased at contract issue, or Contract Value at the time of election) as increased for subsequent Purchase Payments and Bonus Credits, Automatic Annual Step-ups, and 5% Enhancements, and decreased for Excess Withdrawals. We will deduct the cost of this rider from the Contract Value on a quarterly basis, with the first deduction occurring on the Valuation Date on or next following the three-month anniversary of the rider's effective date. This deduction will be made in proportion to the value in each Subaccount and any fixed account of the contract on the Valuation Date the rider charge is assessed. The amount we deduct will increase or decrease as the Income Base increases or decreases, because the charge is based on the Income Base. Refer to The Contracts – Living Benefit Riders – Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk) – Income Base for a discussion and example of the impact of the changes to the Income Base.

The annual rider percentage charge may increase each time the Income Base increases as a result of the Automatic Annual Step-up, but the charge will never exceed the guaranteed maximum annual percentage charge of 2.00%. An Automatic Annual Step-up is a feature that will increase the Income Base to equal the Contract Value on a Benefit Year anniversary if all conditions are met. The Benefit Year is a 12-month period starting with the effective date of the rider and starting with each anniversary of the rider effective date after that. Therefore, your percentage charge for this rider could increase every Benefit Year anniversary. If your percentage charge is increased, you may opt out of the Automatic Annual Step-up by giving us notice within 30 days after the Benefit Year anniversary if you do not want your percentage charge to change. If you opt out of the step-up, your current charge will remain in effect and the Income Base will be returned to the prior Income Base. This opt out will only apply for this particular Automatic Annual Step-up. You will need to notify us each time the percentage charge increases if you do not want the Automatic Annual Step-up.

36

The 5% Enhancement to the Income Base (less Purchase Payments received in the preceding Benefit Year) occurs if a 10-year Enhancement Period is in effect as described further in the Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk) section. During the first ten Benefit Years an increase in the Income Base as a result of the 5% Enhancement will not cause an increase in the annual rider percentage charge but will increase the dollar amount of the charge. After the 10^th Benefit Year anniversary, the annual rider percentage charge may increase each time the Income Base increases as a result of the 5% Enhancement, but the charge will never exceed the guaranteed maximum annual percentage charge of 2.00%. If your percentage charge is increased, you may opt-out of the 5% Enhancement by giving us notice within 30 days after the Benefit Year anniversary if you do not want your percentage charge to change. If you opt out of the 5% Enhancement, your current charge will remain in effect and the Income Base will be returned to the prior Income Base. This opt-out will only apply for this particular 5% Enhancement. You will need to notify us each time thereafter (if an Enhancement would cause your percentage charge to increase) if you do not want the 5% Enhancement.

The rider percentage charge will increase to the then current rider percentage charge, if after the first Benefit Year anniversary cumulative Purchase Payments added to the contract equal or exceed $100,000. You may not opt-out of this rider charge increase. See The Contracts – Living Benefit Riders – Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk) – Income Base.

The rider charge will be discontinued upon termination of the rider. A portion of the rider charge, based on the number of days the rider was in effect that quarter, will be deducted upon termination of the rider (except for death) or surrender of the contract.

If the Contract Value is reduced to zero while the Contractowner is receiving a Guaranteed Annual Income, no rider charge will be deducted.

Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage Charge (no longer available). While this rider is in effect, there is a charge for Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage. The rider charge is currently equal to an annual rate of 0.90% of the Guaranteed Amount (0.225% quarterly)for the Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage single life or joint life option. For riders purchased before January 20, 2009, the current annual percentage charge will increase from 0.75% to 0.90% upon the earlier of (a) the next Automatic Annual Step-up of the Guaranteed Amount or (b) the next Benefit Year anniversary if cumulative Purchase Payments received after the first Benefit Year anniversary equal or exceed $100,000. If the Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage Plus is purchased, an additional 0.15% is added, for a total current cost of 1.05% of the Guaranteed Amount. See The Contracts - Living Benefit Riders – Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage – Guaranteed Amount for a description of the calculation of the Guaranteed Amount.

The charge is based on the Guaranteed Amount as increased for subsequent Purchase Payments and Bonus Credits, Automatic Annual Step-ups, 5% Enhancements, and the 200% Step-up and decreased for withdrawals. The 200% Step-up is not available for riders purchased on and after October 5, 2009. We will deduct the cost of this rider from the Contract Value on a quarterly basis, with the first deduction occurring on the Valuation Date on or next following the three-month anniversary of the effective date of the rider. This deduction will be made in proportion to the value in each Subaccount of the contract on the Valuation Date the rider charge is assessed. For riders purchased on and after March 2, 2009, the charge is also deducted in proportion to the value in the fixed account used for dollar cost averaging purposes. The amount we deduct will increase or decrease as the Guaranteed Amount increases or decreases, because the charge is based on the Guaranteed Amount. Refer to – Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage – Guaranteed Amount for a discussion and example of the impact of the changes to the Guaranteed Amount.

The annual rider percentage charge may increase each time the Guaranteed Amount increases as a result of the Automatic Annual Step-up, but the charge will never exceed the guaranteed maximum annual percentage charge of 1.50% of the Guaranteed Amount. Therefore, your percentage charge for this rider could increase every Benefit Year anniversary. If your percentage charge is increased, you may opt out of the Automatic Annual Step-up by giving us notice within 30 days after the Benefit Year anniversary if you do not want your percentage charge to change. This opt out will only apply for this particular Automatic Annual Step-up and is not available if additional Purchase Payments would cause your charge to increase (see below). You will need to notify us each time the percentage charge increases if you do not want the Automatic Annual Step-up.

An increase in the Guaranteed Amount as a result of the 5% Enhancement or 200% Step-up will not cause an increase in the annual rider percentage charge but will increase the dollar amount of charge.

Once cumulative additional Purchase Payments into your annuity contract after the first Benefit Year equal or exceed $100,000, any additional Purchase Payment will potentially cause the charge for your rider to change to the current charge in effect on the next Benefit Year anniversary, but the charge will never exceed the guaranteed maximum annual charge. The new charge will become effective on the Benefit Year anniversary.

The rider charge will be discontinued upon termination of the rider. A portion of the rider charge, based on the number of days the rider was in effect that quarter, will be deducted upon termination of the rider (except for death) or surrender of the contract.

If the Guaranteed Amount is reduced to zero while the Contractowner is receiving a lifetime Maximum Annual Withdrawal, no rider charge will be deducted.

If you purchased Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage Plus Option, an additional 0.15% of the Guaranteed Amount will be added to the Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage charge for a total current charge of 1.05% applied to the Guaranteed Amount. This total charge (which may change as discussed above) is in effect until the 7^th Benefit Year anniversary. If you exercise your Plus Option, this

37

entire rider and its charge will terminate. If you do not exercise the Plus Option, after the 7^th Benefit Year anniversary, the 0.15% charge for the Plus Option will be removed and the Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage rider and charge will continue. If you make a withdrawal prior to the 7^th Benefit Year anniversary, you will not be able to exercise the Plus Option, but the additional 0.15% charge will remain on your contract until the 7^th Benefit Year anniversary.

4LATER^® Advantage (Managed Risk) Charge. While this rider is in effect, there is a charge for 4LATER^® Advantage (Managed Risk). The rider charge is currently equal to an annual rate of 1.05% (0.2625% quarterly) for the single life option and 1.25% (0.3125% quarterly) for the joint life option.

The charge is based on the Income Base (initial Purchase Payment if purchased at contract issue, or Contract Value at the time of election) as increased for subsequent Purchase Payments, Automatic Annual Step-ups and 5% Enhancements and decreased for withdrawals. We will deduct the cost of this rider from the Contract Value on a quarterly basis, with the first deduction occurring on the Valuation Date on or next following the three-month anniversary of the rider’s effective date. This deduction will be made in proportion to the value in each Subaccount and any fixed account of the contract on the Valuation Date the rider charge is assessed. The amount we deduct will increase or decrease as the Income Base increases or decreases, because the charge is based on the Income Base. Refer to The Contracts – Living Benefit Riders – 4LATER^® Advantage (Managed Risk) – Income Base for a discussion and example of the impact of the changes to the Income Base.

The annual rate for the charge may increase each time the Income Base increases as a result of the Automatic Annual Step-up, but the charge will never exceed the guaranteed maximum annual percentage charge of 2.00%. An Automatic Annual Step-up is a feature that will increase the Income Base to equal the Contract Value on a Benefit Year anniversary if all conditions are met. The Benefit Year is a 12-month period starting with the effective date of the rider and starting with each anniversary of the rider effective date after that. Therefore, your percentage charge could increase every Benefit Year anniversary. If your percentage charge is increased, you may opt-out of the Automatic Annual Step-up by giving us notice within 30 days after the Benefit Year anniversary if you do not want your percentage charge to change. If you opt out of the step-up, your current charge will remain in effect and the Income Base will be returned to the prior Income Base subject to withdrawals. This opt-out will only apply for this particular Automatic Annual Step-up. You will need to notify us each time the percentage charge increases if you do not want the Automatic Annual Step-up.

The 5% Enhancement to the Income Base (less Purchase Payments received in the preceding Benefit Year) occurs if a 10-year Enhancement Period is in effect as described further in the 4LATER^® Advantage (Managed Risk) section. During the first 10 Benefit Years an increase in the Income Base as a result of the 5% Enhancement will not cause an increase in the annual rider percentage charge but will increase the dollar amount of the charge. After the 10^th Benefit Year anniversary the percentage charge may increase each time the Income Base increases as a result of the 5% Enhancement, but the percentage charge will never exceed the guaranteed maximum annual percentage charge of 2.00%. If your percentage charge is increased, you may opt-out of the 5% Enhancement by giving us notice within 30 days after the Benefit Year anniversary if you do not want your percentage charge to change. If you opt out of the 5% Enhancement, your current percentage charge will remain in effect and the Income Base will be returned to the prior Income Base adjusted for withdrawals. This opt-out will only apply for this particular 5% Enhancement. You will need to notify us each time thereafter (if an Enhancement would cause your percentage charge to increase) if you do not want the 5% Enhancement.

The percentage charge will increase to the then current annual percentage charge, if after the first Benefit Year anniversary, cumulative Purchase Payments added to the contract equal or exceed $100,000. You may not opt-out of this rider charge increase. See the 4LATER^® Advantage (Managed Risk) – Income Base.

The rider charge will be discontinued upon termination of the rider. A portion of the rider charge, based on the number of days the rider was in effect that quarter, will be deducted upon termination of the rider (except for death) or surrender of the contract.

Lincoln SmartSecurity^® Advantage Charge (no longer available). While this rider is in effect, there is a charge for the Lincoln SmartSecurity^® Advantage. The rider charge is currently equal to an annual rate of:

1.	0.85% of the Guaranteed Amount (0.2125% quarterly) for the Lincoln SmartSecurity® Advantage – 5 Year Elective Step-up option (the current annual percentage charge will increase to 0.85% upon the next election of a step-up of the Guaranteed Amount); or
2.	0.85% of the Guaranteed Amount (0.2125% quarterly) for the Lincoln SmartSecurity® Advantage – 1 Year Automatic Step-up, single life option (and also prior version of Lincoln SmartSecurity® Advantage – 1 Year Automatic Step-up) (for riders purchased prior to December 3, 2012, the current annual percentage charge will increase from 0.65% to 0.85% at the end of the 10-year annual step-up period if a new 10-year period is elected); or
3.	1.00% of the Guaranteed Amount (0.25% quarterly) for the Lincoln SmartSecurity® Advantage – 1 Year Automatic Step-up, joint life option (for riders purchased prior to December 3, 2012, the current annual percentage charge will increase from 0.80% to 1.00% at the end of the 10-year annual step-up period if a new 10-year period is elected). See The Contracts – Lincoln SmartSecurity® Advantage – Guaranteed Amount for a description of the calculation of the Guaranteed Amount.

The charge is based on the Guaranteed Amount (initial Purchase Payment or Contract Value at the time of election) as increased for subsequent Purchase Payments and step-ups and decreased for withdrawals. We will deduct the cost of this rider from the Contract Value on a quarterly basis, with the first deduction occurring on the Valuation Date on or next following the three-month anniversary

38

of the effective date of the rider. This deduction will be made in proportion to the value in each Subaccount of the contract on the Valuation Date the rider charge is assessed. In Lincoln SmartSecurity^® Advantage – 5 Year Elective Step-up option and the prior version of the Lincoln SmartSecurity^® Advantage – 1 Year Automatic Step-up (without the single or joint life option), the charge may be deducted in proportion to the value in the fixed account as well. The amount we deduct will increase or decrease as the Guaranteed Amount increases or decreases, because the charge is based on the Guaranteed Amount. Because Bonus Credits increase the Guaranteed Amount, Bonus Credits also increase the amount we deduct for the cost of the rider. Refer to the Lincoln SmartSecurity^® Advantage, Guaranteed Amount section for a discussion and example of the impact of changes to the Guaranteed Amount.

Under the Lincoln SmartSecurity^® Advantage – 1 Year Automatic Step-up option, the annual rider percentage charge will not change upon each automatic step-up of the Guaranteed Amount for the 10-year period.

If you elect to step-up the Guaranteed Amount for another step-up period (including if we administer the step-up election for you or if you make a change from a joint life to a single life option after a death or divorce), a portion of the rider charge, based on the number of days prior to the step-up, will be deducted on the Valuation Date of the step-up based on the Guaranteed Amount immediately prior to the step-up. This deduction covers the cost of the rider from the time of the previous deduction to the date of the step-up. After a Contractowner's step-up, we will deduct the rider charge for the stepped-up Guaranteed Amount on a quarterly basis, beginning on the Valuation Date on or next following the three-month anniversary of the step-up. At the time of the elected step-up, the rider percentage charge will change to the current charge in effect at that time (if the current charge has changed), but it will never exceed the guaranteed maximum annual percentage charge of 0.95% of the Guaranteed Amount for the Lincoln SmartSecurity^® Advantage – 5 Year Elective Step-up option or 1.50% of the Guaranteed Amount for the Lincoln SmartSecurity^® Advantage – 1 Year Automatic Step-up option. If you never elect to step-up your Guaranteed Amount, your rider percentage charge will never change, although the amount we deduct will change as the Guaranteed Amount changes. The rider charge will be discontinued upon the earlier of the Annuity Commencement Date, election of i4LIFE^® Advantage or termination of the rider. A portion of the rider charge, based on the number of days the rider was in effect that quarter, will be deducted upon termination of the rider (except upon death) or surrender of the contract.

Rider Charge Waiver. For the Lincoln SmartSecurity^® Advantage – 5 Year Elective Step-up option, after the later of the fifth anniversary of the effective date of the rider or the fifth anniversary of the most recent step-up of the Guaranteed Amount, the rider charge may be waived. For the Lincoln SmartSecurity^® Advantage – 1 Year Automatic Step-up option, no rider charge waiver is available with the single life and joint life options. The earlier version of the Lincoln SmartSecurity^® Advantage – 1 Year Automatic Step-up option has a waiver charge provision which may occur after the fifth Benefit Year anniversary following the last automatic step-up opportunity.

Whenever the above conditions are met, on each Valuation Date the rider charge is to be deducted, if the total withdrawals from the contract have been less than or equal to 10% of the sum of: (1) the Guaranteed Amount on the effective date of this rider or on the most recent step-up date; and (2) Purchase Payments (and Bonus Credits) made after the step-up, then the quarterly rider charge will be waived. If the withdrawals have been more than 10%, then the rider charge will not be waived.

4LATER^® Advantage Charge (no longer available). Prior to the Periodic Income Commencement Date (which is defined as the Valuation Date the initial Regular Income Payment under i4LIFE^® Advantage is determined), the annual 4LATER^® charge is currently 0.65% of the Income Base. The Income Base (an amount equal to the initial Purchase Payment and any applicable Bonus Credit if purchased at contract issue, or Contract Value at the time of election if elected after the contract effective date), as adjusted, is a value that will be used to calculate the 4LATER^® Guaranteed Income Benefit. The Income Base is increased for subsequent Purchase Payments, automatic 15% enhancements and resets, and decreased for withdrawals. An amount equal to the quarterly 4LATER^® rider charge multiplied by the Income Base will be deducted from the Subaccounts on every three-month anniversary of the later of the 4LATER^® rider effective date or the most recent reset of the Income Base. This deduction will be made in proportion to the value in each Subaccount on the Valuation Date the 4LATER^® rider charge is assessed. The amount we deduct will increase as the Income Base increases, because the charge is based on the Income Base. As described in more detail below, the only time the Income Base will change is when there are additional Purchase Payments, withdrawals, automatic enhancements at the end of the 3-year waiting periods or in the event of a reset to the current Account Value.

Upon a reset of the Income Base, a portion of the rider charge, based on the number of days prior to the reset, will be deducted on the Valuation Date of the reset based on the Income Base immediately prior to the reset. This deduction covers the cost of the 4LATER^® rider from the time of the previous deduction to the date of the reset. After the reset, we will deduct the 4LATER^® rider charge for the reset Income Base on a quarterly basis, beginning on the Valuation Date on or next following the three-month anniversary of the reset. At the time of the reset, the annual charge will be the current charge in effect at the time of reset, not to exceed the guaranteed maximum charge of 1.50% of the Income Base. If you never elect to reset your Income Base, your 4LATER^® rider percentage charge will never change, although the amount we deduct will change as your Income Base changes.

Prior to the Periodic Income Commencement Date, a portion of the 4LATER^® rider charge, based on the number of days the rider was in effect that quarter, will be deducted upon termination of the 4LATER^® rider for any reason other than death. On the Periodic Income Commencement Date, a portion of the 4LATER^® rider charge, based on the number of days the rider was in effect that quarter, will be made to cover the cost of 4LATER^® since the previous deduction.

i4LIFE^® Advantage Charge. While this rider is in effect, there is a charge for i4LIFE^® Advantage that is based on your Account Value. The initial Account Value is your Contract Value on the Valuation Date i4LIFE^® Advantage becomes effective (or initial Purchase Payment if i4LIFE^® Advantage is purchased at contract issue), less any applicable premium taxes. During the Access Period, your Account Value on a Valuation Date equals the total value of all of the Contractowner’s Accumulation Units plus the Contractowner’s value in the fixed account, and will be reduced by Regular Income Payments and Guaranteed Income Benefit payments made, as well as any withdrawals.

The annual rate of the i4LIFE^® Advantage charge during the Access Period is:

	Design 1	Design 2	Design 3
Account Value Death Benefit	1.50%	1.95%	1.95%
Guarantee of Principal Death Benefit	1.55%	2.00%	2.00%
Enhanced Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit (EGMDB)	1.80%	2.25%	2.25%

During the Lifetime Income Period, the charge for all Death Benefit options is 1.50%. This charge consists of a mortality and expense risk charge, and administrative charge (charges of the Guaranteed Income Benefit are not included and are listed below). These charges replace the Separate Account Annual Expenses for the base contract. If i4LIFE^® Advantage is elected at the time the contract is issued, i4LIFE^® Advantage will become effective as of the contract's effective date, and we will begin deducting the charge at that time. If i4LIFE^® Advantage is elected at any point after the contract has been issued, i4LIFE^® Advantage will become effective as of the next Valuation Date after we receive a completed election form in Good Order at our Home Office. We will begin deducting the charge at that time. Refer to the i4LIFE^® Advantage section for explanations of the Account Value, the Access Period, and the Lifetime Income Period. Purchasers of any version of Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 or 4LATER^® Advantage (Managed Risk) pay different charges for i4LIFE^® Advantage. See i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit Charge for Contractowners who previously purchased Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk), Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 or 4LATER^® Advantage (Managed Risk).

i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit Charge. Guaranteed Income Benefit (Managed Risk) and Guaranteed Income Benefit (version 4) are each subject to a current annual charge of 0.65% of the Account Value (0.50% for version 1, 2 and 3), which is added to the i4LIFE^® Advantage charge for a total current percentage charge of the Account Value, computed daily as follows:

	Design 1	Design 2	Design 3
i4LIFE® Advantage Account Value Death Benefit	2.15% (2.00% for version 1, 2, 3)	2.60% (2.45% for version 1, 2, 3)	2.60% (2.45% for version 1, 2, 3)
i4LIFE® Advantage Guarantee of Principal Death Benefit	2.20% (2.05% for version 1, 2, 3)	2.65% (2.50% for version 1, 2, 3)	2.65% (2.50% for version 1, 2, 3)
i4LIFE® Advantage EGMDB	2.45% (2.30% for version 1, 2, 3)	2.90% (2.75% for version 1, 2, 3)	2.90% (2.75% for version 1, 2, 3)

If you elect the joint life option, Guaranteed Income Benefit (Managed Risk) and Guaranteed Income Benefit (version 4) are each subject to a current annual charge of 0.85% of the Account Value which is added to the i4LIFE^® Advantage charge for a total current percentage charge of the Account Value, computed daily as follows:

	Design 1	Design 2	Design 3
i4LIFE® Advantage Account Value Death Benefit	2.35%	2.80%	2.80%
i4LIFE® Advantage Guarantee of Principal Death Benefit	2.40%	2.85%	2.85%
i4LIFE® Advantage EGMDB	2.65%	3.10%	3.10%

These charges replace the Separate Account Annual Expenses for the base contract. The charge for i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit (version 4) is the same as the charge for i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit (Managed Risk).

The Guaranteed Income Benefit percentage charge will not change unless there is an automatic step up of the Guaranteed Income Benefit or you elect an additional step-up period (version 2 and version 3) during which the Guaranteed Income Benefit is stepped-up to 75% of the current Regular Income Payment (described later in the i4LIFE^® Advantage section of this prospectus). At the time of the step-up the Guaranteed Income Benefit percentage charge will change to the current charge in effect at that time (if the current charge has changed) up to the guaranteed maximum annual charge of 2.00% (Managed Risk and version 4) or 1.50% (version 2 and version 3) of the Account Value. If we automatically administer the step-up (Managed Risk and version 4) or step-up period election (versions 2 or 3) for you and your percentage charge is increased, you may ask us to reverse the step-up or the step-up period election by giving us notice within 30 days after the date on which the step-up or the step-up period election occurred. If we receive notice of your request to reverse the step-up, on a going forward basis, we will decrease the percentage charge to the percentage charge in effect before the step-up or step-up period election occurred. Any increased charges paid between the time of the step-up and the

40

date we receive your notice to reverse the step-up will not be reimbursed. For version 2 and version 3, you will have no more step-ups unless you notify us that you wish to start a new step-up period (described in the i4LIFE^® Advantage section of the prospectus). For (Managed Risk and version 4), future step-ups will continue even after you decline a current step-up. We will provide you with written notice when a step-up will result in an increase to the current charge so that you may give us timely notice if you wish to reverse a step-up. Version 1 does not step-up; therefore the charge does not change.

After the Periodic Income Commencement Date, if the Guaranteed Income Benefit is terminated, the Guaranteed Income Benefit annual charge will also terminate but the i4LIFE^® Advantage charge will continue.

Currently, Guaranteed Income Benefit (Managed Risk) and i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit (version 4) are the only versions available for purchase unless you are guaranteed the right to elect a prior version under another Living Benefit Rider.

i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit Charge for Contractowners who previously purchased Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk),Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0, or4LATER^® Advantage (Managed Risk) . If you previously purchased Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk) or 4LATER^® Advantage (Managed Risk), you may carry over certain features of those riders to elect i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit (Managed Risk). If you make this election, the current Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk) or 4LATER^® Advantage (Managed Risk) charge will be your initial charge for i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit (Managed Risk).

If you previously purchased Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0, you may carry over certain features of that rider to elect i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit (version 4). If you make this election, the current Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 charge will be your initial charge for i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit (version 4).

For all such elections, this charge is in addition to the daily mortality and expense risk and administrative charge of the base contract for your Death Benefit option set out under Deductions of the VAA. The charges and calculations described earlier in i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit will not apply.

The Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk) discussion below applies to Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 unless otherwise indicated.

For Contractowners who previously purchased Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk) or 4LATER^® Advantage (Managed Risk), the charge for i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit (Managed Risk) is combined into a single charge that is deducted quarterly, starting with the first three-month anniversary of the effective date of i4LIFE^® Advantage and every three months thereafter. The current initial charge for i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit (Managed Risk) is equal to an annual rate of 1.05% (0.2625% quarterly) for the single life option and 1.25% (0.3125% quarterly) for the joint life option. The charge is a percentage of the greater of the Income Base or the Account Value. The total annual Subaccount charges of 1.40% for the EGMDB, 1.15% for the Guarantee of Principal Death Benefit and 1.10% for the Account Value Death Benefit for Design 1 contracts and 1.85% for EGMDB, 1.60% for Guarantee of Principal Death Benefit and 1.55% for Account Value Death Benefit for Design 2 and 3 contracts also apply. Contractowners are guaranteed that in the future the guaranteed maximum initial charge for i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit (Managed Risk) will be the guaranteed maximum charge that was in effect at the time they purchased Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk) or 4LATER^® Advantage (Managed Risk).

The charge will not change unless there is an automatic step-up of the Guaranteed Income Benefit (described later in the i4LIFE^® Advantage section of this prospectus). At such time, the dollar amount of the charge will increase by a two part formula: 1) the charge will increase by the same percentage that the Guaranteed Income Benefit payment increased and 2) the charge will also increase by the percentage of any increase to the Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk) or 4LATER^® Advantage (Managed Risk) current charge rate. (The Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk) or 4LATER^® Advantage (Managed Risk) charge rate continues to be used as a factor in determining the i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit (Managed Risk) charge.) The charge rate is based upon surrender experience, mortality experience, Contractowner investment experience, solvency and profit margins, and the goals and objectives of the Lincoln hedging experience. Significant changes in one or more of these categories could result in an increase in the charge. This means that the charge may change annually. The charge may also be reduced if a withdrawal above the Regular Income Payment is taken. The dollar amount of the rider charge will be reduced in the same proportion that the withdrawal reduced the Account Value. The annual dollar amount is divided by four (4) to determine the quarterly charge.

The following example shows how the initial charge for i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit (Managed Risk) for purchasers of Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk) is calculated as well as adjustments due to increases to the Guaranteed Income Benefit (Managed Risk) and the Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk) charge. The example is a nonqualified contract and assumes the Contractowner is a 60-year old male on the effective date of electing i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit (Managed Risk). Pursuant to the provisions of the Guaranteed Income Benefit (Managed Risk) the initial Guaranteed Income Benefit is set at 4% of the Income Base based upon the Contractowner’s age (see Guaranteed Income Benefit (Managed Risk) for a more detailed description). The example also assumes that the current charge for Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk) is 1.05% (single life option). The first example demonstrates how the initial charge is determined for an existing contract with an Account Value and Income Base. (The same calculation method applies to purchasers of 4LATER^® Advantage (Managed Risk) and purchasers of Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 except for the different initial Guaranteed Income

41

Benefit rates for Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 set forth in the Guaranteed Income Benefit (version 4) description later in this prospectus.)

1/1/14 Initial i4LIFE® Advantage Account Value	$100,000
1/1/14 Income Base as of the last Valuation Date under Lincoln Lifetime IncomeSM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk)	$125,000
1/1/14 Initial Annual Charge for i4LIFE® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit (Managed Risk) ($125,000 * 1.05%) the current charge for Lincoln Lifetime IncomeSM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk) is assessed against the Income Base since it is larger than the Account Value	$1,312.50
1/2/14 Amount of initial i4LIFE® Advantage Regular Income Payment (an example of how the Regular Income Payment is calculated is shown in the SAI)	$5,173
1/2/14 Initial Guaranteed Income Benefit (4% * $125,000 Income Base)	$5,000

The next example shows how the charge will increase if the Guaranteed Income Benefit is stepped up to 75% of the Regular Income Payment.

1/2/15 Recalculated Regular Income Payment (due to market gain in Account Value)	$6,900
1/2/15 New Guaranteed Income Benefit (75% * $6,900 Regular Income Payment)	$5,175
1/2/15 Annual Charge for i4LIFE® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit (Managed Risk) ($1,312.50 * ($5,175/$5,000)) Prior charge * [ratio of increased Guaranteed Income Benefit to prior Guaranteed Income Benefit]	$1,358.44

If the Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk) charge has also increased, subject to a maximum charge of 2.00%, the i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit (Managed Risk) charge will increase upon a step-up. (The Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk) charge continues to be used in the calculation of the i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit (Managed Risk) charge.)

Continuing the above example:

1/2/15 Annual Charge for i4LIFE® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit (Managed Risk)	$1,358.44
1/2/16 Recalculated Regular Income Payment (due to Account Value increase)	$7,400
1/2/16 New Guaranteed Income Benefit (75% * $7,400 Regular Income Payment)	$5,550
Assume the Lincoln Lifetime IncomeSM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk) charge increases from 1.05% to 1.15%.
1/2/16 Annual Charge for i4LIFE® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit (Managed Risk) ($1,358.44 * ($5,550/$5,175) * (1.15%/1.05%))	$1,595.63

The new annual charge for i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit (Managed Risk) is $1,595.63 which is equal to the current annual charge of $1,358.44 multiplied by the percentage increase of the Guaranteed Income Benefit ($5,550/$5,175) and then multiplied by the percentage increase to the Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk) current charge (1.15%/1.05%).

If the Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk), Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0, or 4LATER^® Advantage (Managed Risk) percentage charge is increased, we will notify you in writing. You may contact us in writing or at the telephone number listed on the first page of this prospectus to reverse the step-up within 30 days after the date on which the step-up occurred. If we receive this notice, we will decrease the percentage charge, on a going forward basis, to the percentage charge in effect before the step-up occurred. Any increased charges paid between the time of the step-up and the date we receive your notice to reverse the step-up will not be reimbursed. If the Guaranteed Income Benefit increased due to the step-up we would decrease the Guaranteed Income Benefit to the Guaranteed Income Benefit in effect before the step-up occurred, reduced by any additional withdrawals. Future step-ups as described in the rider would continue.

After the Periodic Income Commencement Date, if the Guaranteed Income Benefit is terminated, i4LIFE^® Advantage will also be terminated and the i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit charge will cease.

i4LIFE^®Advantage with 4LATER^® Guaranteed Income Benefit Charge for purchasers who previously purchased 4LATER^® Advantage. The 4LATER^® Guaranteed Income Benefit for purchasers who previously purchased 4LATER^® Advantage is subject to a current annual charge of 0.65% of the Account Value which is added to the i4LIFE^® Advantage charge for a total current percentage charge of the Account Value, computed daily as follows:

42

	Design 1	Design 2	Design 3
Account Value Death Benefit	2.15%	2.60%	2.60%
Guarantee of Principal Death Benefit	2.20%	2.65%	2.65%
Enhanced Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit (EGMDB)	2.45%	2.90%	2.90%

(For riders purchased before January 20, 2009, the current annual percentage charge is 0.50%, but will increase to 0.65% upon the next election to reset the Income Base.) These charges apply only during the i4LIFE^® Advantage payout phase.

On and after the Periodic Income Commencement Date, the 4LATER^® Guaranteed Income Benefit charge will be added to the i4LIFE^®Advantage charge as a daily percentage of average Account Value. This is a change to the calculation of the 4LATER^® charge because after the Periodic Income Commencement Date, when the 4LATER^® Guaranteed Income Benefit is established, the Income Base is no longer applicable. The percentage 4LATER^® charge is the same immediately before and after the Periodic Income Commencement Date; however, the charge is multiplied by the Income Base (on a quarterly basis) prior to the Periodic Income Commencement Date and then multiplied by the average daily Account Value after the Periodic Income Commencement Date.

After the Periodic Income Commencement Date, the 4LATER^® Guaranteed Income Benefit percentage charge will not change unless the Contractowner elects additional 15-year step-up periods during which the 4LATER^® Guaranteed Income Benefit (described later) is stepped-up to 75% of the current Regular Income Payment. At the time you elect a new 15-year step-up period, the 4LATER^® Guaranteed Income Benefit percentage charge will change to the current charge in effect at that time (if the current charge has changed) up to the guaranteed maximum annual charge of 1.50% of Account Value.

After the Periodic Income Commencement Date, if the 4LATER^® Guaranteed Income Benefit is terminated, the 4LATER^® Guaranteed Income Benefit annual charge will also terminate but the i4LIFE^® Advantage charge will continue.

Guaranteed Income Benefit Charge for Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage Purchasers. For purchasers of Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage who terminate their rider and purchase i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit, the Guaranteed Income Benefit which is purchased with i4LIFE^® Advantage is subject to a current annual charge of 0.50% of Account Value, which is added to the i4LIFE^®Advantage charge for a total current percentage charge of the Account Value, computed daily as follows:

		Design 1	Design 2	Design 3
•	Account Value Death Benefit	2.00%	2.45%	2.45%
•	Guarantee of Principal Death Benefit	2.05%	2.50%	2.50%
•	Enhanced Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit (EGMDB)	2.30%	2.75%	2.75%

Purchasers of Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage are guaranteed that in the future the guaranteed maximum charge for the i4LIFE^®Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit will be the guaranteed maximum charge then in effect at the time that they purchase the Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage. The Guaranteed Income Benefit percentage charge will not change unless you elect an additional step-up period during which the Guaranteed Income Benefit is stepped-up to 75% of the current Regular Income Payment (described later). At the time you elect a new step-up period, the percentage charge will change to the current charge in effect at that time (if the current charge has changed) up to the guaranteed maximum annual charge of 1.50% of the Account Value. If we automatically administer the step-up period election for you and your percentage charge is increased, you may ask us to reverse the step-up period election by giving us notice within 30 days after the date on which the step-up period election occurred. If we receive this notice we will decrease the percentage charge on a going forward basis, to the percentage charge in effect before the step-up period election occurred. You will have no more step-ups unless you notify us that you wish to start a new step-up period (described later in the i4LIFE^® Advantage section of this prospectus).

After the Periodic Income Commencement Date, if the Guaranteed Income Benefit is terminated, the Guaranteed Income Benefit annual charge will also terminate but the i4LIFE^® Advantage charge will continue.

Lincoln Long-Term Care^SM Advantage (LTC Rider) Charge. While the LTC rider is in effect, there is a charge for the LTC Rider (“LTC Charge”) that is deducted from the Contract Value on a quarterly basis. The LTC Charge will consist of the sum of three charges:

• the Acceleration Benefit Charge,

• the Extension Benefit Charge, and

• the Optional Nonforfeiture Benefit Charge (if elected).

The first deduction will occur on the business day on or next following the three-month contract anniversary and will be deducted every three months thereafter. This deduction will be made proportionately from the Contract Value in the Subaccounts, the fixed account for use with dollar-cost averaging and the LTC Fixed Account until the Contract Value is reduced to zero. Deductions from the Subaccounts and the fixed accounts will be made in proportion to the value in each Subaccount and fixed account. A proportional LTC

43

Charge will be deducted upon termination of the LTC Rider, upon commencement of Annuity Payouts and upon contract surrender. A proportional LTC Charge will not be deducted if the LTC Rider is terminated due to death.

Acceleration Benefit Charge

The Acceleration Benefit Charge has a guaranteed maximum annual percentage rate of 1.50% of the LTC Guaranteed Amount. The current annual percentage rate is 0.50% of the LTC Guaranteed Amount under the Growth Benefit option and 0.35% of the LTC Guaranteed Amount under the Level Benefit option. The annual percentage rate may change at any time and will never exceed the guaranteed maximum annual percentage rate of 1.50% of the LTC Guaranteed Amount. We will give you 30 days written notice of our intent to raise the current annual percentage rate. Any increase to the annual percentage rate will be applied on the next quarterly deduction following the effective date of the annual percentage rate change. Any change to the annual percentage rate will be the same for all Contractowners in the same class on a nondiscriminatory manner. The Acceleration Benefit Charge annual percentage rate for the Growth Benefit option will not change to the annual percentage rate for the Level Benefit after you terminate the Automatic Step-ups.

The LTC Charge will be higher if you choose the Growth Benefit option because the Acceleration Benefit Charge annual percentage rate is higher for the Growth Benefit option than it is for the Level Benefit option and the LTC Guaranteed Amount against which the Acceleration Benefit Charge annual percentage rate is assessed may be higher due to Automatic Step-ups.

The Acceleration Benefit Charge is calculated by multiplying the LTC Guaranteed Amount as of the date on which the charge is deducted by ¼ of the Acceleration Benefit Charge annual percentage rate. With the Level Benefit option, the Acceleration Benefit Charge will decrease as the LTC Guaranteed Amount is reduced by Acceleration Benefit payments or Excess Withdrawals. With the Growth Benefit option, the Acceleration Benefit Charge will increase or decrease as the LTC Guaranteed Amount increases by the Automatic Step-up or is reduced by Acceleration Benefit payments, Growth Benefit payments or Excess Withdrawals. The Acceleration Benefit Charge will be deducted until the LTC Guaranteed Amount is reduced to zero or there is no Contract Value remaining, whichever occurs first.

Extension Benefit Charge

The Extension Benefit Charge does not have a guaranteed maximum annual percentage rate and may change at any time. The current Extension Benefit Charge annual percentage rates range as set forth in the charts below. The initial Extension Benefit Charge annual percentage rate will be stated on the Specifications page of your LTC Rider. We will give you 30 days written notice of our intent to raise the Extension Benefit Charge annual percentage rate. Any increase to the Extension Benefit Charge annual percentage rate will be applied on the next quarterly deduction following the effective date of the annual percentage rate change. Any change to the current Extension Benefit Charge annual percentage rate will be subject to prior regulatory approval and will be the same for all Contractowners in the same class on a nondiscriminatory manner. If the current Extension Benefit Charge annual percentage rate is increased to an amount greater than a specified percentage of the initial current Extension Benefit Charge annual percentage rate, you may cancel the LTC Rider and receive the Contingent Nonforfeiture Benefit. See Determining LTC Benefits – Nonforfeiture Benefit for more information.

The Extension Benefit Charge is calculated by multiplying the Extension Benefit as of the date on which the charge is deducted multiplied by ¼ of the Extension Benefit Charge annual percentage rate (which is stated in the LTC rider) as of the date on which the charge is deducted. On the contract date, the Extension Benefit will be double the Acceleration Benefit. The Extension Benefit Charge will increase as the Extension Benefit increases to twice the amount of any subsequent Purchase Payments made prior to the 90^th day after the contract date. The Extension Benefit Charge will decrease as the Extension Benefit is reduced by Extension Benefit payments or Excess Withdrawals. The Extension Benefit Charge will be deducted until the Extension Benefit is reduced to zero or there is no Contract Value remaining, whichever occurs first. The Extension Benefit Charge annual percentage rate is based upon your age as of the contract date.

Optional Nonforfeiture Benefit Charge

44

The Optional Nonforfeiture Benefit Charge does not have a guaranteed maximum annual percentage rate and may change at any time. The current Optional Nonforfeiture Benefit Charge annual percentage rates range as set forth in the charts below. We will give you 30 days written notice of our intent to raise the current Optional Nonforfeiture Benefit Charge annual percentage rate. Any increase to the current Optional Nonforfeiture Benefit Charge annual percentage rate will be applied on the next quarterly deduction following the effective date of the annual percentage rate change. Any change to the current Optional Nonforfeiture Benefit Charge annual percentage rate will be subject to prior regulatory approval and will be the same for all Contractowners in the same class on a nondiscriminatory manner.

The Optional Nonforfeiture Benefit Charge is calculated by multiplying the Extension Benefit as of the date on which the charge is deducted multiplied by ¼ of the Optional Nonforfeiture Benefit Charge annual percentage rate (which is stated in the LTC rider) as of the date on which the charge is deducted. On the contract date, the Extension Benefit will be double the Acceleration Benefit. The Optional Nonforfeiture Benefit Charge will increase as the Extension Benefit increases due to Purchase Payments made within the first 90 days after the contract date. The Optional Nonforfeiture Benefit Charge will decrease as the Extension Benefit decreases by Extension Benefit payments or Excess Withdrawals. The Optional Nonforfeiture Benefit Charge will be deducted until the Extension Benefit is zero or there is no Contract Value remaining, whichever occurs first. The Optional Nonforfeiture Benefit Charge annual percentage rate is based upon your age as of the contract date.

Deductions for Premium Taxes

Any premium tax or other tax levied by any governmental entity as a result of the existence of the contracts or the VAA will be deducted from the Contract Value, unless the governmental entity dictates otherwise, when incurred, or at another time of our choosing.

The applicable premium tax rates that states and other governmental entities impose on the purchase of an annuity are subject to change by legislation, by administrative interpretation or by judicial action. These premium tax rates generally depend upon the law of your state of residence. The tax rates range from zero to 5%.

Other Charges and Deductions

The surrender, withdrawal or transfer of value from a Guaranteed Period may be subject to the Interest Adjustment, if applicable. See Fixed Side of the Contract.

The mortality and expense risk and administrative charge of 1.10% of the value in the VAA will be assessed on all variable Annuity Payouts (except for i4LIFE^® Advantage, which has a different charge), including options that may be offered that do not have a life contingency and therefore no mortality risk. This charge covers the expense risk and administrative services listed previously in this prospectus. The expense risk is the risk that our costs in providing the services will exceed our revenues from contract charges.

There are additional deductions from and expenses paid out of the assets of the underlying funds that are more fully described in the prospectuses for the funds. Among these deductions and expenses are 12b-1 fees which reimburse us or an affiliate for certain expenses incurred in connection with certain administrative and distribution support services provided to the funds.

Additional Information

The charges described previously may be reduced or eliminated for any particular contract or an additional Bonus Credit may be paid.. However, these reductions or benefits may be available only to the extent that we anticipate lower distribution and/or administrative expenses, or that we perform fewer sales or administrative services than those originally contemplated in establishing the level of those charges, or when required by law. Lower distribution and administrative expenses may be the result of economies associated with:

• the use of mass enrollment procedures,

• the performance of administrative or sales functions by the employer,

• sales to Selling Group Individuals,

• the use by an employer of automated techniques in submitting deposits or information related to deposits on behalf of its employees,

• for Design 1 contracts only, the issue of a new Lincoln contract upon the surrender of an existing Lincoln individual variable annuity contract, if available in your state; or

• any other circumstances which reduce distribution or administrative expenses.

The exact amount of charges and fees or Bonus Credit applicable to a particular contract will be stated in that contract.

The Contracts

Contracts Offered in this Prospectus

This prospectus describes three separate annuity contracts:

• Lincoln ChoicePlus^SM Design 1 (standard)

• Lincoln ChoicePlus^SM Design 2 (4-year surrender charge)

• Lincoln ChoicePlus^SM Design 3 (3% enhancement)

Each contract offers you the ability to choose certain features, and has its own mortality and expense risk charge and applicable surrender charge. In deciding what contract to purchase, you should consider the amount of mortality and expense risk and surrender charges you are willing to bear relative to your needs. In deciding whether to purchase any of the enhanced Death Benefits or other optional benefits, you should consider the desirability of the benefit relative to its additional cost and to your needs.

Enhanced Death Benefits and other optional benefits are described later in this prospectus. You should check with your registered representative regarding availability.

46

Lincoln ChoicePlus^SM Design 1 (standard)

The Design 1 annuity contract has a total mortality and risk expense and administrative charge ranging from 1.10% to 1.60%, depending on which Death Benefit you have elected. It has a declining seven-year surrender charge on each Purchase Payment. Optional benefits and payout options, as described later in this prospectus, are available for additional charges.

Lincoln ChoicePlus^SM Design 2 (4-year surrender charge)

The Design 2 annuity contract has a total mortality and risk expense and administrative charge ranging from 1.55% to 2.05%, depending on which Death Benefit you have elected. It has a declining four-year surrender charge on each Purchase Payment. Contractowners of the Design 2 annuity contract will receive a Persistency Credit on a quarterly basis after the fourth contract anniversary. See The Contracts – Persistency Credits. Optional benefits and payout options, as described later in this prospectus, are available for additional charges.

Lincoln ChoicePlus^SM Design 3 (3% enhancement)

The Design 3 annuity contract has a total mortality and risk expense and administrative charge ranging from 1.55% to 2.05%, depending on which Death Benefit you have selected. It has a declining seven year surrender charge on each Purchase Payment.

For each Purchase Payment made into the contact, we will credit the contract with a 3% Bonus Credit. See The Contracts – Bonus Credits. In addition, Contractowners of the Design 3 annuity contract will receive a Persistency Credit on a quarterly basis after the seventh contract anniversary. See The Contracts – Persistency Credits. Optional benefits and payout options, as described later in this prospectus, are available for additional charges. The Lincoln Long-Term Care^SM Advantage rider is not available with this contract.

Purchase of Contracts

If you wish to purchase a contract, you must apply for it through a registered representative authorized by us. The completed application is sent to us and we decide whether to accept or reject it. If the application is accepted, a contract is prepared and executed by our legally authorized officers. The contract is then sent to you either directly or through your registered representative. See Distribution of the Contracts. The purchase of multiple contracts with identical Contractowners, Annuitants and Beneficiaries will be allowed only upon Home Office approval.

When a completed application and all other information necessary for processing a purchase order is received in Good Order at our Home Office, an initial Purchase Payment and its corresponding Bonus Credit, if applicable, will be priced no later than two business days after we receive the order. If you submit your application and/or initial Purchase Payment to your agent, we will not begin processing your purchase order until we receive the application and initial Purchase Payment from your agent’s broker-dealer. While attempting to finish an incomplete application, we may hold the initial Purchase Payment for no more than five business days unless we receive your consent to our retaining the payment until the application is completed. If the incomplete application cannot be completed within those five days and we have not received your consent, you will be informed of the reasons, and the Purchase Payment will be returned immediately. Once the application is complete, we will allocate your initial Purchase Payment and its corresponding Bonus Credit, if applicable, within two business days.

Who Can Invest

To apply for a contract, you must be of legal age in a state where the contracts may be lawfully sold and also be eligible to participate in any of the qualified and nonqualified plans for which the contracts are designed. At the time of issue, the Contractowner, joint owner and Annuitant must be under age 86. Certain Death Benefit options may not be available at all ages. To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account. When you open an account, we will ask for your name, address, date of birth, and other information that will allow us to identify you. We may also ask to see your driver's license, photo i.d. or other identifying documents.

In accordance with money laundering laws and federal economic sanction policy, the Company may be required in a given instance to reject a Purchase Payment and/or freeze a Contractowner’s account. This means we could refuse to honor requests for transfers, withdrawals, surrenders or Death Benefits. Once frozen, monies would be moved from the VAA to a segregated interest-bearing account maintained for the Contractowner, and held in that account until instructions are received from the appropriate regulator.

Do not purchase this contract if you plan to use it, or any of its riders, for speculation, arbitrage, viatical arrangement, or other similar investment scheme. The contract may not be resold, traded on any stock exchange, or sold on any secondary market.

If you are purchasing the contract through a tax-favored arrangement, including traditional IRAs and Roth IRAs, you should consider carefully the costs and benefits of the contract (including annuity income benefits) before purchasing the contract, since the tax-favored arrangement itself provides tax-deferred growth.

47

Replacement of Existing Insurance

Careful consideration should be given prior to surrendering or withdrawing money from an existing insurance contract to purchase the contract described in this prospectus. Surrender charges may be imposed on your existing contract and/or a new surrender charge period may be imposed with the purchase of, or transfer into, this contract. A registered representative or tax adviser should be consulted prior to making an exchange. Cash surrenders from an existing contract may be subject to tax and tax penalties.

Purchase Payments

You may make Purchase Payments to the contract at any time, prior to the Annuity Commencement Date, subject to certain conditions. You are not required to make any additional Purchase Payments after the initial Purchase Payment. The minimum initial Purchase Payment is $10,000. The minimum annual amount for additional Purchase Payments is $300. Please check with your registered representative about making additional Purchase Payments since the requirements of your state may vary. The minimum payment to the contract at any one time must be at least $100 ($25 if transmitted electronically). If a Purchase Payment is submitted that does not meet the minimum amount, we will contact you to ask whether additional money will be sent, or whether we should return the Purchase Payment to you.

Purchase Payments totaling $2 million or more are subject to Home Office approval. This amount takes into consideration the total Purchase Payments for all variable annuity contracts issued by the Company (or its affiliates) (excluding Lincoln Investor Advantage^® contracts) for the same Contractowner, joint owner, and/or Annuitant. If you elect a Living Benefit Rider, you may be subject to further restrictions in terms of your ability to make additional Purchase Payments, as more fully described below. If you stop making Purchase Payments, the contract will remain in force, however, we may terminate the contract as allowed by your state's non-forfeiture law for individual deferred annuities. We will not surrender your contract if you are receiving guaranteed payments from us under one of the Living Benefit Riders. Purchase Payments may be made or, if stopped, resumed at any time until the Annuity Commencement Date, the surrender of the contract, or the death of the Contractowner, whichever comes first. Upon advance written notice, we reserve the right to further limit, restrict, or suspend Purchase Payments made to the contract.

If you elect a Living Benefit Rider (other than i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit or Lincoln Long-Term Care^SM Advantage), after the first anniversary of the rider effective date, once cumulative additional Purchase Payments exceed $100,000, additional Purchase Payments will be limited to $50,000 per Benefit Year. If you elect any version of i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit, no additional Purchase Payments will be allowed at any time after the Periodic Income Commencement Date. If you elect i4LIFE^® Advantage without Guaranteed Income Benefit, no additional Purchase Payments will be allowed after the Periodic Income Commencement Date for nonqualified contracts. If you elect the Lincoln Long-Term Care^SM Advantage rider, no additional Purchase Payments can be made after 90 days from the contract effective date.

These restrictions and limitations mean that you will be limited in your ability to increase your Contract Value (or Account Value under i4LIFE^® Advantage with any version of Guaranteed Income Benefit) and/or increase the amount of any guaranteed benefit under a Living Benefit Rider by making additional Purchase Payments to the contract. You should carefully consider these limitations and restrictions, and any other limitations and restrictions of the contract, and how they may impact your long-term investment plans, especially if you intend to increase Contract Value (or Account Value under i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit) by making additional Purchase Payments over a long period of time. Please contact your registered representative and refer to the Living Benefit Riders section of this prospectus for additional information on any restrictions that may apply to your Living Benefit Rider. State variations may apply.

Bonus Credits

In some states, the term bonus credit may be referred to as value enhancement or a similar term in the contract. If you purchase the Design 3 contract, for each Purchase Payment made into the contract, we will credit the contract with a 3% Bonus Credit. The amount of the Bonus Credit is calculated as a percentage of the Purchase Payment made. The amount of any Bonus Credit applied to the contract will be noted on the confirmation sent after each Purchase Payment. The amount of the Bonus Credit will be added to the value of the contract at the same time and allocated to variable Subaccounts and the fixed account in the same percentages as the Purchase Payment.

We offer a variety of variable annuity contracts. The amount of the Bonus Credit may be more than offset by higher surrender charges associated with the Bonus Credit. Similar products that do not offer Bonus Credits and have lower fees and charges may provide larger cash surrender values than this contract, depending on the level of the Bonus Credits in this contract and the performance of the owner’s chosen Subaccounts. We encourage you to talk with your registered representative and determine which annuity contract is most appropriate for you.

Persistency Credits

Contractowners of the Design 2 contract will receive a Persistency Credit on a quarterly basis after the fourth contract anniversary. The amount of the Persistency Credit is calculated by multiplying the Contract Value, less any Purchase Payments that have not been invested in the contract for at least four years, by 0.1125%. This Persistency Credit will be allocated to the variable Subaccounts and

48

the fixed Subaccounts in proportion to the Contract Value in each variable Subaccount and fixed Subaccount at the time the Persistency Credit is paid into the contract.

Contractowners of the Design 3 contract will receive a Persistency Credit on a quarterly basis after the seventh contract anniversary. The amount of the Persistency Credit is calculated by multiplying the Contract Value, less any Purchase Payments that have not been invested in the contract for at least seven years, by the quarterly percentage of 0.1125%. This Persistency Credit will be allocated to the variable Subaccounts and the fixed Subaccounts in proportion to the Contract Value in each variable Subaccount and fixed Subaccount at the time the Persistency Credit is paid into the contract.

There is no additional charge to receive this Persistency Credit, and in no case will the Persistency Credit be less than zero. The amount of any Persistency Credit received will be noted on your quarterly statement.

Valuation Date

Accumulation and Annuity Units will be valued once daily at the close of trading (normally, 4:00 p.m., New York time) on each day the New York Stock Exchange is open (Valuation Date). On any date other than a Valuation Date, the Accumulation Unit value and the Annuity Unit value will not change.

Allocation of Purchase Payments

Purchase Payments allocated to the variable account are placed into the VAA’s Subaccounts, according to your instructions. You may also allocate Purchase Payments in the fixed account, if available. Corresponding Bonus Credits, if applicable, will be allocated to the Subaccount(s) and/or the fixed side of the contract in the same proportion in which you allocate Purchase Payments.

The minimum amount of any Purchase Payment which can be put into any one Subaccount is $20. The minimum amount of any Purchase Payment which can be put into a Guaranteed Period of the fixed account is $2,000, subject to state approval.

If we receive your Purchase Payment from you or your broker-dealer in Good Order at our Home Office prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange (normally 4:00 p.m., New York time), we will use the Accumulation Unit value computed on that Valuation Date when processing your Purchase Payment. If we receive your Purchase Payment in Good Order after market close, we will use the Accumulation Unit value computed on the next Valuation Date. If you submit your Purchase Payment to your registered representative, we will generally not begin processing the Purchase Payment until we receive it from your representative’s broker-dealer. If your broker-dealer submits your Purchase Payment to us through the Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation (DTCC) or, pursuant to terms agreeable to us, uses a proprietary order placement system to submit your Purchase Payment to us, and your Purchase Payment was placed with your broker-dealer prior to market close then we will use the Accumulation Unit value computed on that Valuation Date when processing your Purchase Payment. If your Purchase Payment was placed with your broker-dealer after market close, then we will use the Accumulation Unit value computed on the next Valuation Date. There may be circumstances under which the New York Stock Exchange may close early (prior to 4:00 p.m., New York time). In such instances, Purchase Payments received after such early market close will be processed using the Accumulation Unit value computed on the next Valuation Date.

The number of Accumulation Units determined in this way is not impacted by any subsequent change in the value of an Accumulation Unit. However, the dollar value of an Accumulation Unit will vary depending not only upon how well the underlying fund’s investments perform, but also upon the expenses of the VAA and the underlying funds.

Valuation of Accumulation Units

Purchase Payments allocated to the VAA are converted into Accumulation Units. This is done by dividing the amount allocated by the value of an Accumulation Unit for the Valuation Period during which the Purchase Payments are allocated to the VAA. The Accumulation Unit value for each Subaccount was or will be established at the inception of the Subaccount. It may increase or decrease from Valuation Period to Valuation Period. Accumulation Unit values are affected by investment performance of the funds, fund expenses, and the contract charges. The Accumulation Unit value for a Subaccount for a later Valuation Period is determined as follows:

1.	The total value of the fund shares held in the Subaccount is calculated by multiplying the number of fund shares owned by the Subaccount at the beginning of the Valuation Period by the net asset value per share of the fund at the end of the Valuation Period, and adding any dividend or other distribution of the fund if an ex-dividend date occurs during the Valuation Period; minus
2.	The liabilities of the Subaccount at the end of the Valuation Period; these liabilities include daily charges imposed on the Subaccount, and may include a charge or credit with respect to any taxes paid or reserved for by us that we determine result from the operations of the VAA; and
3.	The result is divided by the number of Subaccount units outstanding at the beginning of the Valuation Period.

The daily charges imposed on a Subaccount for any Valuation Period are equal to the daily mortality and expense risk charge and the daily administrative charge multiplied by the number of calendar days in the Valuation Period. Contracts with different features have different daily charges, and therefore, will have different corresponding Accumulation Unit values on any given day. In certain circumstances (for example, when separate account assets are less than $1,000), and when permitted by law, it may be prudent for us to

49

use a different standard industry method for this calculation, called the Net Investment Factor method. We will achieve substantially the same result using either method.

Transfers On or Before the Annuity Commencement Date

After the first 30 days from the effective date of your contract, you may transfer all or a portion of your investment from one Subaccount to another. A transfer involves the surrender of Accumulation Units in one Subaccount and the purchase of Accumulation Units in the other Subaccount. A transfer will be done using the respective Accumulation Unit values determined at the end of the Valuation Date on which the transfer request is received.

Transfers (among the variable Subaccounts and as permitted between the variable and fixed accounts) are limited to twelve (12) per Contract Year unless otherwise authorized by us. This limit does not apply to transfers made under the automatic transfer programs of dollar cost averaging, cross-reinvestment or portfolio rebalancing elected on forms available from us. See Additional Services and the SAI for more information on these programs. These transfer rights and restrictions also apply during the i4LIFE^® Advantage Access Period (the time period during which you may make withdrawals from the i4LIFE^® Advantage Account Value). See i4LIFE^® Advantage.

The minimum amount which may be transferred between Subaccounts is $300 (or the entire amount in the Subaccount, if less than $300). If the transfer from a Subaccount would leave you with less than $300 in the Subaccount, we may transfer the total balance of the Subaccount.

A transfer request may be made to our Home Office in writing, or by fax or other electronic means. A transfer request may also be made by telephone provided the appropriate authorization is on file with us. Our address, telephone number, and Internet address are on the first page of this prospectus. Requests for transfers will be processed on the Valuation Date that they are received when they are received in Good Order at our Home Office before the close of the New York Stock Exchange (normally 4:00 p.m., New York time). If we receive a transfer request in Good Order after market close, we will process the request using the Accumulation Unit value computed on the next Valuation Date.

There may be circumstances under which the New York Stock Exchange may close early (prior to 4:00 p.m., New York time). In such instances transfers received after such early market close will be processed using the Accumulation Unit value computed on the next Valuation Date.

If your contract offers a fixed account, you may also transfer all or any part of the Contract Value from the Subaccount(s) to the fixed side of the contract, except during periods when (if permitted by your contract) we have discontinued accepting transfers into the fixed side of the contract. The minimum amount which can be transferred to a fixed account is $2,000 or the total amount in the Subaccount if less than $2,000. However, if a transfer from a Subaccount would leave you with less than $300 in the Subaccount, we may transfer the total amount to the fixed side of the contract.

You may also transfer part of the Contract Value from a fixed account to the variable Subaccount(s) subject to the following restrictions:

• total fixed account transfers are limited to 25% of the value of that fixed account in any 12-month period; and

• the minimum amount that can be transferred is $300 or, if less, the amount in the fixed account.

Because of these restrictions, it may take several years to transfer all of the Contract Value in the fixed accounts to the variable Subaccounts. You should carefully consider whether the fixed account meets your investment criteria. Transfers of all or a portion of a fixed account (other than automatic transfer programs and i4LIFE^® Advantage transfers) may be subject to Interest Adjustments, if applicable. For a description of the Interest Adjustment, see the Fixed Side of the Contract - Guaranteed Periods and Interest Adjustment.

Transfers may be delayed as permitted by the 1940 Act. See Delay of Payments.

Telephone and Electronic Transactions

A surrender, withdrawal, or transfer request may be made to our Home Office using a fax or other electronic means. In addition, withdrawal and transfer requests may be made by telephone, subject to certain restrictions. In order to prevent unauthorized or fraudulent transfers, we may require certain identifying information before we will act upon instructions. We may also assign the Contractowner a Personal Identification Number (PIN) to serve as identification. We will not be liable for following instructions we reasonably believe are genuine. Telephone and other electronic requests will be recorded and written confirmation of all transactions will be mailed to the Contractowner on the next Valuation Date.

Please note that the telephone and/or electronic devices may not always be available. Any telephone, fax machine or other electronic device, whether it is yours, your service provider’s, or your agent’s, can experience outages or slowdowns for a variety of reasons. These outages or slowdowns may delay or prevent our processing of your request. Although we have taken precautions to limit these problems, we cannot promise complete reliability under all circumstances. If you are experiencing problems, you should make your request by writing to our Home Office.

Market Timing

Frequent, large, or short-term transfers among Subaccounts and the fixed account, such as those associated with “market timing” transactions, can affect the funds and their investment returns. Such transfers may dilute the value of the fund shares, interfere with the efficient management of the fund's portfolio, and increase brokerage and administrative costs of the funds. As an effort to protect our Contractowners and the funds from potentially harmful trading activity, we utilize certain market timing policies and procedures (the “Market Timing Procedures”). Our Market Timing Procedures are designed to detect and prevent such transfer activity among the Subaccounts and the fixed account that may affect other Contractowners or fund shareholders.

In addition, the funds may have adopted their own policies and procedures with respect to frequent purchases and redemptions of their respective shares. The prospectuses for the funds describe any such policies and procedures, which may be more or less restrictive than the frequent trading policies and procedures of other funds and the Market Timing Procedures we have adopted to discourage frequent transfers among Subaccounts. While we reserve the right to enforce these policies and procedures, Contractowners and other persons with interests under the contracts should be aware that we may not have the contractual authority or the operational capacity to apply the frequent trading policies and procedures of the funds. However, under SEC rules, we are required to: (1) enter into a written agreement with each fund or its principal underwriter that obligates us to provide to the fund promptly upon request certain information about the trading activity of individual Contractowners, and (2) execute instructions from the fund to restrict or prohibit further purchases or transfers by specific Contractowners who violate the excessive trading policies established by the fund.

You should be aware that the purchase and redemption orders received by the funds generally are “omnibus” orders from intermediaries such as retirement plans or separate accounts funding variable insurance contracts. The omnibus orders reflect the aggregation and netting of multiple orders from individual retirement plan participants and/or individual owners of variable insurance contracts. The omnibus nature of these orders may limit the funds’ ability to apply their respective disruptive trading policies and procedures. We cannot guarantee that the funds (and thus our Contractowners) will not be harmed by transfer activity relating to the retirement plans and/or other insurance companies that may invest in the funds. In addition, if a fund believes that an omnibus order we submit may reflect one or more transfer requests from Contractowners engaged in disruptive trading activity, the fund may reject the entire omnibus order.

Our Market Timing Procedures detect potential “market timers” by examining the number of transfers made by Contractowners within given periods of time. In addition, managers of the funds might contact us if they believe or suspect that there is market timing. If requested by a fund company, we may vary our Market Timing Procedures from Subaccount to Subaccount to comply with specific fund policies and procedures.

We may increase our monitoring of Contractowners who we have previously identified as market timers. When applying the parameters used to detect market timers, we will consider multiple contracts owned by the same Contractowner if that Contractowner has been identified as a market timer. For each Contractowner, we will investigate the transfer patterns that meet the parameters being used to detect potential market timers. We will also investigate any patterns of trading behavior identified by the funds that may not have been captured by our Market Timing Procedures.

Once a Contractowner has been identified as a “market timer” under our Market Timing Procedures, we will notify the Contractowner in writing that future transfers (among the Subaccounts and/or the fixed account) will be temporarily permitted to be made only by original signature sent to us by U.S. mail, first-class delivery for the remainder of the Contract Year (or calendar year if the contract is an individual contract that was sold in connection with an employer sponsored plan). Overnight delivery or electronic instructions (which may include telephone, facsimile, or Internet instructions) submitted during this period will not be accepted. If overnight delivery or electronic instructions are inadvertently accepted from a Contractowner that has been identified as a market timer, upon discovery, we will reverse the transaction within 1 or 2 business days. We will impose this “original signature” restriction on that Contractowner even if we cannot identify, in the particular circumstances, any harmful effect from that Contractowner's particular transfers.

Contractowners seeking to engage in frequent, large, or short-term transfer activity may deploy a variety of strategies to avoid detection. Our ability to detect such transfer activity may be limited by operational systems and technological limitations. The identification of Contractowners determined to be engaged in such transfer activity that may adversely affect other Contractowners or fund shareholders involves judgments that are inherently subjective. We cannot guarantee that our Market Timing Procedures will detect every potential market timer. If we are unable to detect market timers, you may experience dilution in the value of your fund shares and increased brokerage and administrative costs in the funds. This may result in lower long-term returns for your investments.

Our Market Timing Procedures are applied consistently to all Contractowners. An exception for any Contractowner will be made only in the event we are required to do so by a court of law. In addition, certain funds available as investment options in your contract may also be available as investment options for owners of other, older life insurance policies issued by us. Some of these older life insurance policies do not provide a contractual basis for us to restrict or refuse transfers which are suspected to be market timing activity. In addition, because other insurance companies and/or retirement plans may invest in the funds, we cannot guarantee that the funds will not suffer harm from frequent, large, or short-term transfer activity among Subaccounts and the fixed accounts of variable contracts issued by other insurance companies or among investment options available to retirement plan participants.

51

In our sole discretion, we may revise our Market Timing Procedures at any time without prior notice as necessary to better detect and deter frequent, large, or short-term transfer activity to comply with state or federal regulatory requirements, and/or to impose additional or alternate restrictions on market timers (such as dollar or percentage limits on transfers). If we modify our Market Timing Procedures, they will be applied uniformly to all Contractowners or as applicable to all Contractowners investing in underlying funds.

Some of the funds have reserved the right to temporarily or permanently refuse payments or transfer requests from us if, in the judgment of the fund’s investment adviser, the fund would be unable to invest effectively in accordance with its investment objective or policies, or would otherwise potentially be adversely affected. To the extent permitted by applicable law, we reserve the right to defer or reject a transfer request at any time that we are unable to purchase or redeem shares of any of the funds available through the VAA, including any refusal or restriction on purchases or redemptions of the fund shares as a result of the funds' own policies and procedures on market timing activities. If a fund refuses to accept a transfer request we have already processed, we will reverse the transaction within 1 or 2 business days. We will notify you in writing if we have reversed, restricted or refused any of your transfer requests. Some funds also may impose redemption fees on short-term trading (i.e., redemptions of mutual fund shares within a certain number of business days after purchase). We reserve the right to administer and collect any such redemption fees on behalf of the funds. You should read the prospectuses of the funds for more details on their redemption fees and their ability to refuse or restrict purchases or redemptions of their shares.

Transfers After the Annuity Commencement Date

You may transfer all or a portion of your investment in one Subaccount to another Subaccount or to the fixed side of the contract, as permitted under your contract. Those transfers will be limited to three times per Contract Year. You may also transfer from a variable annuity payment to a fixed annuity payment. You may not transfer from a fixed annuity payment to a variable annuity payment. Once elected, the fixed annuity payment is irrevocable.

These provisions also apply during the i4LIFE^® Advantage Lifetime Income Period. See i4LIFE^® Advantage.

Ownership

The owner on the date of issue will be the person or entity designated in the contract specifications. The owner of a nonqualified contract may name a joint owner.

As Contractowner, you have all rights under the contract. According to Indiana law, the assets of the VAA are held for the exclusive benefit of all Contractowners and their designated Beneficiaries; and the assets of the VAA are not chargeable with liabilities arising from any other business that we may conduct. We reserve the right to approve all ownership and Annuitant changes. Nonqualified contracts may not be sold, discounted, or pledged as collateral for a loan or for any other purpose. Qualified contracts are not transferable unless allowed under applicable law. Nonqualified contracts may not be collaterally assigned. Assignments may have an adverse impact on any Death Benefits or benefits offered under Living Benefit Riders in this product and may be prohibited under the terms of a particular feature. We assume no responsibility for the validity or effect of any assignment. Consult your tax adviser about the tax consequences of an assignment.

Joint Ownership

If a contract has joint owners, the joint owners shall be treated as having equal undivided interests in the contract. Either owner, independently of the other, may exercise any ownership rights in this contract. Not more than two owners (an owner and joint owner) may be named and contingent owners are not permitted.

Annuitant

The following rules apply prior to the Annuity Commencement Date. You may name only one Annuitant (unless you are a tax-exempt entity, then you can name two joint Annuitants). You (if the Contractowner is a natural person) have the right to change the Annuitant at any time by notifying us in writing of the change. However, we reserve the right to approve all Annuitant changes. This may not be allowed if certain riders are in effect. The new Annuitant must be under age 86 as of the effective date of the change. This change may cause a reduction in the Death Benefits or benefits offered under Living Benefit Riders. See The Contracts – Death Benefit and Living Benefit Riders. A contingent Annuitant may be named or changed by notifying us in writing. Contingent Annuitants are not allowed on contracts owned by non-natural owners. On or after the Annuity Commencement Date, the Annuitant or joint Annuitants may not be changed and contingent Annuitant designations are no longer applicable.

Surrenders and Withdrawals

Before the Annuity Commencement Date, we will allow the surrender of the contract or a withdrawal of the Contract Value upon your written request on an approved Lincoln distribution request form (available from the Home Office), fax, or other electronic means. Withdrawal requests may be made by telephone, subject to certain restrictions. All surrenders and withdrawals may be made in accordance with the rules discussed below. Surrender or withdrawal rights after the Annuity Commencement Date depend on the Annuity Payout option selected.

52

The amount available upon surrender/withdrawal is the Contract Value less any applicable charges, fees, and taxes at the end of the Valuation Period during which the written request for surrender/withdrawal is received in Good Order at the Home Office. If we receive a surrender or withdrawal request in Good Order at our Home Office before the close of the NYSE (normally 4:00 p.m., New York time), we will process the request using the Accumulation Unit value computed on that Valuation Date. If we receive a surrender or withdrawal request in Good Order at our Home Office after market close, we will process the request using the Accumulation Unit value computed on the next Valuation Date. There may be circumstances under which the NYSE may close early (prior to 4:00 p.m., New York time). In such instances, surrender or withdrawal requests received after such early market close will be processed using the Accumulation Unit value computed on the next Valuation Date. The minimum amount which can be withdrawn is $300. Unless a request for withdrawal specifies otherwise, withdrawals will be made from all Subaccounts within the VAA and from the fixed account in the same proportion that the amount of withdrawal bears to the total Contract Value. Surrenders and withdrawals from the fixed account may be subject to the Interest Adjustment. See Fixed Side of the Contract. Unless prohibited, surrender/withdrawal payments will be mailed within seven days after we receive a valid written request at the Home Office. The payment may be postponed as permitted by the 1940 Act.

There are charges associated with surrender of a contract or withdrawal of Contract Value. You may specify whether these charges are deducted from the amount you request to be withdrawn or from the remaining Contract Value. If the charges are deducted from the remaining Contract Value, the amount of the total withdrawal will increase according to the impact of the applicable surrender charge percentage; consequently, the dollar amount of the surrender charge associated with the withdrawal will also increase. In other words, the dollar amount deducted to cover the surrender charge is also subject to a surrender charge.

Special restrictions on surrenders/withdrawals apply if your contract is purchased as part of a retirement plan of a public school system or 501(c)(3) organization under Section 403(b) of the tax code. Beginning January 1, 1989, in order for a contract to retain its tax-qualified status, Section 403(b) prohibits a withdrawal from a 403(b) contract of post 1988 contributions (and earnings on those contributions) pursuant to a salary reduction agreement. However, this restriction does not apply if the Annuitant (a) attains age 59½, (b) separates from service, (c) dies, (d) becomes totally and permanently disabled and/or (e) experiences financial hardship (in which event the income attributable to those contributions may not be withdrawn).

Pre-1989 contributions and earnings through December 31, 1988, are not subject to the previously stated restriction. Funds transferred to the contract from a 403(b)(7) custodial account will also be subject to restrictions.

The tax consequences of a surrender/withdrawal are discussed later in this prospectus. See Federal Tax Matters – Taxation of Withdrawals and Surrenders.

Additional Services

These are the additional services available to you under your contract: dollar-cost averaging (DCA), automatic withdrawal service (AWS), cross-reinvestment service and portfolio rebalancing. Currently, there is no charge for these services. However, we reserve the right to impose one after appropriate notice to Contractowners. In order to take advantage of one of these services, you will need to complete the appropriate election form that is available from our Home Office. For further detailed information on these services, please see Additional Services in the SAI.

Dollar-cost averaging allows you to transfer amounts from the DCA fixed account, if available, or certain variable Subaccounts into the variable Subaccounts on a monthly basis or in accordance with other terms we make available.

You may elect to participate in the DCA program at the time of application or at any time before the Annuity Commencement Date by completing an election form available from us. The minimum amount to be dollar cost averaged (DCA'd) is $1,500 over any period between six and 60 months. Once elected, the program will remain in effect until the earlier of:

• the Annuity Commencement Date;

• the value of the amount being DCA'd is depleted; or

• you cancel the program by written request or by telephone if we have your telephone authorization on file.

We reserve the right to restrict access to this program at any time.

A transfer made as part of this program is not considered a transfer for purposes of limiting the number of transfers that may be made, or assessing any charges or Interest Adjustment which may apply to transfers. Upon receipt of an additional Purchase Payment allocated to the DCA fixed account, the existing program duration will be extended to reflect the end date of the new DCA program. However, the existing interest crediting rate will not be extended. The existing interest crediting rate will expire at its originally scheduled expiration date and the value remaining in the DCA account from the original amount as well as any additional Purchase Payments will be credited with interest at the standard DCA rate at the time. If you cancel the DCA program, your remaining Contract Value in the DCA program will be allocated to the Subaccounts according to your allocation instructions. We reserve the right to discontinue or modify this program at any time. If you have chosen DCA from one of the Subaccounts, only the amount allocated to that DCA program will be transferred. Investment gain, if any, will remain in that Subaccount unless you reallocate it to one of the other

53

Subaccounts. If you are enrolled in automatic rebalancing, this amount may be automatically rebalanced based on your allocation instructions in effect at the time of rebalancing. DCA does not assure a profit or protect against loss.

The automatic withdrawal service (AWS) provides for an automatic periodic withdrawal of your Contract Value. Withdrawals under AWS are subject to applicable surrender charges and Interest Adjustments. See Charges and Other Deductions – Surrender Charge and Fixed Side of the Contract – Interest Adjustment. Withdrawals under AWS will be noted on your quarterly statement. AWS is also available for amounts allocated to the fixed account, if applicable.

The cross-reinvestment service automatically transfers the Contract Value in a designated variable Subaccount that exceeds a baseline amount to another specific variable Subaccount at specific intervals. You specify the applicable Subaccounts, the baseline amount and the interval period. As of May 1, 2010, this service is no longer available unless the Contractowner had enrolled in this service prior to this date.

Portfolio rebalancing is an option that restores to a pre-determined level the percentage of Contract Value allocated to each variable Subaccount. The rebalancing may take place monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually. Rebalancing events will be noted on your quarterly statement. The fixed account is not available for portfolio rebalancing.

Only one of the three additional services (DCA, cross-reinvestment and portfolio rebalancing) may be used at one time. For example, you cannot have DCA and cross-reinvestment running simultaneously. We reserve the right to discontinue any or all of these administrative services at any time.

Sample Portfolios

You may allocate your initial Purchase Payment among a group of Subaccounts that invest in underlying funds within a sample portfolio. Each sample portfolio consists of several Subaccounts investing in underlying funds, each of which represents a specified percentage of your Purchase Payment. If you choose to select a sample portfolio, you must allocate 100% of your initial Purchase Payment to that portfolio, and we will invest your initial Purchase Payment among the Subaccounts within the portfolio according to the percentage allocations. These allocations will remain in place unless you tell us otherwise. Any subsequent Purchase Payments will be invested according to your allocation instructions at the time of the subsequent Purchase Payment. You may de-select the sample portfolio at any time. The sample portfolios are available only at contract issue. For contracts purchased prior to February 23, 2015, sample portfolios are not available for election with any Living Benefit Rider (except i4LIFE^® Advantage without Guaranteed Income Benefit). For contracts purchased on or after February 23, 2015, sample portfolios are available when electing a Living Benefit Rider at the time the contract is purchased (except i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit (version 4)).

Unless you have elected a Living Benefit Rider, your portfolio will not be automatically rebalanced. In order to maintain the portfolio’s specified Subaccount allocation percentages, you must enroll in and maintain the portfolio rebalancing option under your contract, thereby authorizing us to automatically rebalance your Contract Value.

Your registered representative may discuss the portfolios with you to assist you in deciding how to allocate your initial Purchase Payment amongst the various investment options available under your contract. The portfolios were designed and prepared by Lincoln Investment Advisors Corporation (in consultation with Wilshire Associates) for use by Lincoln Financial Distributors, Inc. (LFD). LFD provides these portfolios to broker-dealers who may provide them to their clients. These portfolios do not constitute investment advice, and you should consult your registered representative to determine whether you should utilize a portfolio or whether it is suitable for you based upon your goals, risk tolerance and time horizon. You bear the risk that, over time, a portfolio may not reflect the risk tolerance or return that was expected.

Asset Allocation Models

Your registered representative may discuss asset allocation models with you to assist you in deciding how to allocate your Purchase Payments among the various Subaccounts and/or the fixed account. The models listed below were designed and prepared by the Company, in consultation with SSgA Funds Management, Inc., for use by Lincoln Financial Distributors, Inc., (LFD) the principal underwriter of the contracts. LFD provides models to broker dealers who may offer the models to their own clients. The models do not constitute investment advice and you should consult with your registered representative to determine whether you should utilize a model or which model is suitable for you based upon your goals, risk tolerance and time horizon.

Each model invests different percentages of Contract Value in some or all of the LVIP Subaccounts currently available within your annuity contract. If you select an asset allocation model, 100% of your Contract Value (and any additional Purchase Payments you make) will be allocated among certain Subaccounts in accordance with the model’s asset allocation strategy. You may not make transfers among the Subaccounts. We will proportionately deduct any withdrawals you make from the Subaccounts in the asset allocation model. You may only choose one asset allocation model at a time, though you may change to a different asset allocation model available in the contract at any time.

Each of the asset allocation models seeks to meet its investment objective while avoiding excessive risk. The models also strive to achieve diversification among asset classes in order to help reduce volatility and boost returns over the long-term. There can be no

54

assurance, however, that any of the asset allocation models will achieve its investment objective. If you are seeking a more aggressive strategy, these models are probably not appropriate for you.

The asset allocation models are intended to provide a diversified investment portfolio by combining different asset classes to help it reach its stated investment goal. While diversification may help reduce overall risk, it does not eliminate the risk of losses and it does not protect against losses in a declining market.

In order to maintain the model’s specified Subaccount allocation percentages, you agree to be automatically enrolled in the portfolio rebalancing option and you thereby authorize us to automatically rebalance your Contract Value on a quarterly basis based upon your allocation instructions in effect at the time of the rebalancing. Confirmation of the rebalancing will appear on your quarterly statement. We reserve the right to change the rebalancing frequency at any time, in our sole discretion, but will not make changes more than once per calendar year. You will be notified at least 30 days prior to the date of any change in frequency.

The models are static asset allocation models. This means that they have fixed allocations made up of underlying funds that are offered within your contract and the percentage allocations will not change over time. Once you have selected an asset allocation model, we will not make any changes to the fund allocations within the model except for the rebalancing described above. If you desire to change your Contract Value or Purchase Payment allocation or percentages to reflect a revised or different model, you must submit new allocation instructions to us. You may terminate a model at any time. There is no charge from Lincoln for participating in a model.

The election of certain Living Benefit Riders may require that you allocate Purchase Payments in accordance with Investment Requirements that may be satisfied by choosing an asset allocation model. Different requirements and/or restrictions may apply under the individual rider. See The Contracts – Investment Requirements.

The models are as follows:

• The Lincoln SSgA Conservative Index Model is composed of specified underlying Subaccounts representing a target allocation of approximately 40% in three equity Subaccounts and 60% in one fixed income Subaccount.

Your registered representative will have more information on the specific investments of each model.

Franklin Templeton Founding Investment Strategy: Through the Franklin Templeton Founding Investment Strategy, you may allocate Purchase Payments and/or Contract Values to three underlying funds as listed below. This is not an asset allocation model. If you choose to follow this strategy you will invest 100% of your Contract Value according to the strategy. You may invest in any of the three funds without adopting the strategy. Upon selection of this program you agree to be automatically enrolled in portfolio rebalancing and authorize us to automatically rebalance your Contract Value on a quarterly basis in accordance with the strategy. Confirmation of the rebalancing will appear on your quarterly statement. You may terminate the strategy at any time and reallocate your Contract Value to other investment options. We reserve the right to change the rebalancing frequency at any time, in our sole discretion, but will not make changes more than once per calendar year. You will be notified at least 30 days prior to the date of any change in frequency. You should consult with your registered representative to determine if this strategy is suitable for you. If you are seeking a more aggressive strategy, this strategy may not be appropriate for you.

	% of Contract Value
Franklin Income VIP Fund	34%
Franklin Mutual Shares VIP Fund	33%
LVIP Templeton Growth Managed Volatility Fund	33%

Death Benefit

The chart below provides a brief overview of how the Death Benefit proceeds will be distributed if death occurs prior to i4LIFE^® Advantage elections or prior to the Annuity Commencement Date. Refer to your contract for the specific provisions applicable upon death.

upon death of:	and...	and...	Death Benefit proceeds pass to:
Contractowner	There is a surviving joint owner	The Annuitant is living or deceased	joint owner
Contractowner	There is no surviving joint owner	The Annuitant is living or deceased	designated Beneficiary
Contractowner	There is no surviving joint owner and the Beneficiary predeceases the Contractowner	The Annuitant is living or deceased	Contractowner's estate
Annuitant	The Contractowner is living	There is no contingent Annuitant	The youngest Contractowner becomes the contingent Annuitant and the contract continues. The Contractowner may waive* this continuation and receive the Death Benefit proceeds.
Annuitant	The Contractowner is living	The contingent Annuitant is living	contingent Annuitant becomes the Annuitant and the contract continues
Annuitant**	The Contractowner is a trust or other non-natural person	No contingent Annuitant allowed with non-natural Contractowner	designated Beneficiary

* Notification from the Contractowner to receive the Death Benefit proceeds must be received within 75 days of the death of the Annuitant.

** Death of Annuitant is treated like death of the Contractowner.

56

If the Contractowner (or a joint owner) or Annuitant dies prior to the Annuity Commencement Date, a Death Benefit may be payable. You can choose the Death Benefit. Only one Death Benefit may be in effect at any one time and this Death Benefit terminates if you elect i4LIFE^® Advantage or elect any other annuitization option. Generally, the more expensive the Death Benefit the greater the protection.

You should consider the following provisions carefully when designating the Beneficiary, Annuitant, any contingent Annuitant and any joint owner, as well as before changing any of these parties. The identity of these parties under the contract may significantly affect the amount and timing of the Death Benefit or other amount paid upon a Contractowner's or Annuitant's death.

You may designate a Beneficiary during your lifetime and change the Beneficiary by filing a written request with our Home Office. Each change of Beneficiary revokes any previous designation. We reserve the right to request that you send us the contract for endorsement of a change of Beneficiary.

Upon the death of the Contractowner, a Death Benefit will be paid to the Beneficiary. Upon the death of a joint owner, the Death Benefit will be paid to the surviving joint owner. If the Contractowner is a corporation or other non-individual (non-natural person), the death of the Annuitant will be treated as death of the Contractowner.

If an Annuitant who is not the Contractowner or joint owner dies, then the contingent Annuitant, if named, becomes the Annuitant and no Death Benefit is payable on the death of the Annuitant. If no contingent Annuitant is named, the Contractowner (or younger of joint owners) becomes the Annuitant. Alternatively, a Death Benefit may be paid to the Contractowner (and joint owner, if applicable, in equal shares). Notification of the election of this Death Benefit must be received by us within 75 days of the death of the Annuitant. The contract terminates when any Death Benefit is paid due to the death of the Annuitant.

Only the Contract Value as of the Valuation Date we approve the payment of the death claim is available as a Death Benefit if a Contractowner, joint owner or Annuitant was added or changed subsequent to the effective date of this contract unless the change occurred because of the death of a prior Contractowner, joint owner or Annuitant. If your Contract Value equals zero, no Death Benefit will be paid.

Account Value Death Benefit. If you elect the Account Value Death Benefit contract option, we will pay a Death Benefit equal to the Contract Value on the Valuation Date the Death Benefit is approved by us for payment. No additional Death Benefit is provided. Once you have selected this Death Benefit option, it cannot be changed. (Your contract may refer to this benefit as the Contract Value Death Benefit.)

Guarantee of Principal Death Benefit. If you do not select a Death Benefit, the Guarantee of Principal Death Benefit will apply to your contract. If the Guarantee of Principal Death Benefit is in effect, the Death Benefit will be equal to the greater of:

• the current Contract Value as of the Valuation Date we approve the payment of the claim; or

• the sum of all Purchase Payments decreased by withdrawals in the same proportion that withdrawals reduced the Contract Value (withdrawals less than or equal to the Guaranteed Annual Income amount under any version of the Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 rider or the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount under the Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage rider may reduce the sum of all Purchase Payments amount on a dollar for dollar basis. See The Contracts – Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk) and The Contracts – Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage).

In a declining market, withdrawals deducted in the same proportion that withdrawals reduce the Contract Value may have a magnified effect on the reduction of the Death Benefit payable. This is because the reduction in the benefit may be more than the dollar amount withdrawn from the Contract Value. All references to withdrawals include deductions for any applicable charges associated with those withdrawals (surrender charges for example) and premium taxes, if any. For contracts purchased prior to the time a state approved the above Guarantee of Principal Death Benefit calculation, the sum of all Purchase Payments is reduced by the sum of all withdrawals.

The Guarantee of Principal Death Benefit may be discontinued by completing the Change of Death Benefit form and sending it to our Home Office. The benefit will be discontinued as of the Valuation Date we receive the request and the Account Value Death Benefit will apply. We will deduct the charge for the Account Value Death Benefit as of that date. See Charges and Other Deductions.

Enhanced Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit (EGMDB). If the EGMDB is in effect, the Death Benefit paid will be the greatest of:

• The current Contract Value as of the Valuation Date we approve the payment of the claim; or

• The sum of all Purchase Payments decreased by withdrawals in the same proportion that withdrawals reduced the Contract Value (withdrawals less than or equal to the Guaranteed Annual Income amount under any version of the Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 rider or the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount under the Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage rider may reduce the sum of all Purchase Payments amount on a dollar for dollar basis. See The Contracts – Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk) and The Contracts – Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage); or

• The highest Contract Value which the contract attains on any contract anniversary (including the inception date) (determined before the allocation of any Purchase Payments on that contract anniversary) prior to the 81^st birthday of the deceased and prior to the death of the Contractowner, joint owner (if applicable) or Annuitant for whom the death claim is approved for payment. The

57

highest Contract Value is increased by Purchase Payments and Bonus Credits and is decreased by withdrawals subsequent to that anniversary date in the same proportion that withdrawals reduced the Contract Value.

In a declining market, withdrawals deducted in the same proportion that withdrawals reduce the Contract Value may have a magnified effect on the reduction of the Death Benefit payable. This is because the reduction in the benefit may be more than the dollar amount withdrawn from the Contract Value. All references to withdrawals include deductions for any applicable charges associated with those withdrawals (surrender charges for example) and premium taxes, if any.

The EGMDB is not available under contracts issued to a Contractowner, or joint owner or Annuitant, who is age 80 or older at the time of issuance.

You may discontinue the EGMDB at any time by completing the Change of Death Benefit form and sending it to our Home Office. The benefit will be discontinued as of the Valuation Date we receive the request, and the Guarantee of Principal Death Benefit or the Account Value Death Benefit will apply. We will deduct the applicable charge for the new Death Benefit as of that date. See Charges and Other Deductions.

Estate Enhancement Benefit Rider (EEB Rider). The amount of Death Benefit payable under this rider is the greatest of the following amounts:

• the current Contract Value as of the Valuation Date we approve the payment of the claim; or

• the sum of all Purchase Payments decreased by withdrawals in the same proportion that withdrawals reduced the Contract Value (withdrawals less than or equal to the Guaranteed Annual Income amount under any version of the Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 rider or the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount under the Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage rider may reduce the sum of all Purchase Payments amount on a dollar for dollar basis. See The Contracts – Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk) and The Contracts – Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage); or

• the highest Contract Value on any contract anniversary (including the inception date) (determined before the allocation of any Purchase Payments on that contract anniversary) prior to the 81^st birthday of the deceased Contractowner, joint owner (if applicable), or Annuitant and prior to the death of the Contractowner, joint owner or Annuitant for whom a death claim is approved for payment. The highest Contract Value is adjusted for certain transactions. It is increased by Purchase Payments and Bonus Credits made on or after that contract anniversary on which the highest Contract Value is obtained. It is decreased by withdrawals subsequent to that contract anniversary date in the same proportion that withdrawals reduced the Contract Value; or

• the current Contract Value as of the Valuation Date we approve the payment of the claim plus an amount equal to the Enhancement Rate times the lesser of:

• the contract earnings; or

• the covered earnings limit.

Note: If there are no contract earnings, there will not be an amount provided under this item.

In a declining market, withdrawals deducted in the same proportion that withdrawals reduce the Contract Value may have a magnified effect on the reduction of the Death Benefit payable. This is because the reduction in the benefit may be more than the dollar amount withdrawn from the Contract Value. All references to withdrawals include deductions for any applicable charges associated with those withdrawals (surrender charges for example) and premium taxes, if any.

The Enhancement Rate is based on the age of the oldest Contractowner, joint owner (if applicable), or Annuitant on the date when the rider becomes effective. If the oldest is under age 70, the rate is 40%. If the oldest is age 70 to 75, the rate is 25%. The EEB rider is not available if the oldest Contractowner, joint owner (if applicable), or Annuitant is age 76 or older at the time the rider would become effective.

Contract earnings equal:

• the Contract Value as of the date of death of the individual for whom a death claim is approved by us for payment; minus

• the Contract Value as of the effective date of this rider (determined before the allocation of any Purchase Payments on that date); minus

• each Purchase Payment that is made to the contract on or after the effective date of the rider, and prior to the date of death of the individual for whom a death claim is approved for payment; plus

• any contractual basis that has previously been withdrawn, which is the amount by which each withdrawal made on or after the effective date of the rider, and prior to the date of death of the individual for whom a death claim is approved for payment, exceeded the contract earnings immediately prior to the withdrawal.

The previously withdrawn contractual basis associated with each withdrawal made on or after the effective date of the rider is an amount equal to the greater of $0 and (A), where

(A) is the amount of the withdrawal minus the greater of $0 and (B); where

(B) is the result of [(i) - (ii)]; where

58

(i)	is the Contract Value immediately prior to the withdrawal; and
(ii)	is the amount of Purchase Payments made into the contract prior to the withdrawal.

The covered earnings limit equals 200% of:

• the Contract Value as of the effective date of this rider (determined before the allocation of any Purchase Payments on that date); plus

• each Purchase Payment that is made to the contract on or after the effective date of the rider, and prior to the date of death of the individual for whom a death claim is approved for payment, and prior to the contract anniversary immediately preceding the 76^th birthday of the oldest of the Contractowner, joint owner (if applicable) or Annuitant; minus

• any contractual basis that has previously been withdrawn, which is the amount by which each withdrawal made on or after the effective date of the rider, and prior to the date of death of the individual for whom a death claim is approved for payment, exceeded the contract earnings immediately prior to the withdrawal.

The previously withdrawn contractual basis associated with each withdrawal made on or after the effective date of the rider is an amount equal to the greater of $0 and (A), where

(A) is the amount of the withdrawal minus the greater of $0 and (B); where

(B) is the result of [(i) - (ii)]; where

(i)	is the Contract Value immediately prior to the withdrawal; and
(ii)	is the amount of Purchase Payments made into the contract prior to the withdrawal.

The EEB rider may not be available in all states. Please check with your registered representative regarding availability of this rider. The EEB rider can only be elected at the time the contract is purchased. The EEB Rider is not available if you have elected i4LIFE^® Advantage or Lincoln Long-Term Care^SM Advantage.

The EEB rider may not be terminated unless you surrender the contract or the contract is in the Annuity Payout period.

General Death Benefit Information

Only one of these Death Benefits may be in effect at any one time. Your Death Benefit terminates on and after the Annuity Commencement Date, or if you elect i4LIFE^® Advantage. i4LIFE^® Advantage only provides Death Benefit options during the Access Period. There are no Death Benefits during the Lifetime Income Period. Please see the i4LIFE^® Advantage – i4LIFE^® Advantage Death Benefit section of this prospectus for more information.

If there are joint owners, upon the death of the first Contractowner, we will pay a Death Benefit to the surviving joint owner. The surviving joint owner will be treated as the primary, designated Beneficiary. Any other Beneficiary designation on record at the time of death will be treated as a contingent Beneficiary. If the surviving joint owner is the spouse of the deceased joint owner, he/she may continue the contract as sole Contractowner. Upon the death of the spouse who continues the contract, we will pay a Death Benefit to the designated Beneficiary(s).

If the Beneficiary is the spouse of the Contractowner, then the spouse may elect to continue the contract as the new Contractowner. Same-sex spouses should carefully consider whether to purchase annuity products that provide benefits based upon status as a spouse, and whether to exercise any spousal rights under the contract. The U.S. Supreme Court recently held that same-sex spouses who have been married under state law will now be treated as spouses for purposes of federal law. You are strongly encouraged to consult a tax advisor before electing spousal rights under the contract.

Should the surviving spouse elect to continue the contract, a portion of the Death Benefit may be credited to the contract. Any portion of the Death Benefit that would have been payable (if the contract had not been continued) that exceeds the current Contract Value on the Valuation Date we approve the claim will be added to the Contract Value. If the contract is continued in this way, the Death Benefit in effect at the time the Beneficiary elected to continue the contract will remain as the Death Benefit.

If the EEB Rider is in effect, the Enhancement Rate for future benefits will be based on the age of the older of the surviving spouse or the Annuitant at the time the EEB is paid into the contract. The contract earnings and the covered earnings limit will be reset, treating the current Contract Value (after crediting any Death Benefit amount into the contract as described above) as the initial deposit for purposes of future benefit calculations. If either the surviving spouse or the surviving Annuitant is 76 or older, the EEB Death Benefit will be reduced to the EGMDB and your total annual charge will be reduced to the EGMDB charge.

The value of the Death Benefit will be determined as of the Valuation Date we approve the payment of the claim. Approval of payment will occur upon our receipt of a claim submitted in Good Order. To be in Good Order, we require all the following:

1.	proof (e.g. an original certified death certificate), or any other proof of death satisfactory to us, of the death; and
2.	written authorization for payment; and
3.	all required claim forms, fully completed (including selection of a settlement option).

59

Notwithstanding any provision of this contract to the contrary, the payment of Death Benefits provided under this contract must be made in compliance with Code Section 72(s) or 401(a)(9) as applicable, as amended from time to time. Death Benefits may be taxable. See Federal Tax Matters.

Unless otherwise provided in the Beneficiary designation, one of the following procedures will take place on the death of a Beneficiary:

• If any Beneficiary dies before the Contractowner, that Beneficiary’s interest will go to any other Beneficiaries named, according to their respective interests; and/or

• If no Beneficiary survives the Contractowner, the proceeds will be paid to the Contractowner’s estate.

If the Beneficiary is a minor, court documents appointing the guardian/custodian may be required.

Unless the Contractowner has already selected a settlement option, the Beneficiary may choose the method of payment of the Death Benefit. The Death Benefit payable to the Beneficiary or joint owner must be distributed within five years of the Contractowner’s date of death unless the Beneficiary begins receiving within one year of the Contractowner’s death the distribution in the form of a life annuity or an annuity for a designated period not extending beyond the Beneficiary’s life expectancy.

Upon the death of the Annuitant, Federal tax law requires that an annuity election be made no later than 60 days after we have approved the death claim for payment.

If the Death Benefit becomes payable, the recipient may elect to receive payment either in the form of a lump sum settlement or an Annuity Payout. If a lump sum settlement is elected, the proceeds will be mailed within seven days of approval by us of the claim subject to the laws, regulations and tax code governing payment of Death Benefits. This payment may be postponed as permitted by the Investment Company Act of 1940.

Abandoned Property. Every state has unclaimed property laws which generally declare annuity contracts to be abandoned after a period of inactivity of three to five years from the date a benefit is due and payable. For example, if the payment of a Death Benefit has been triggered, but, if after a thorough search, we are still unable to locate the Beneficiary of the Death Benefit, or the Beneficiary does not come forward to claim the Death Benefit in a timely manner, the Death Benefit will be “escheated”. This means that the Death Benefit will be paid to the abandoned property division or unclaimed property office of the state in which the Beneficiary or the Contractowner last resided, as shown on our books and records, or to our state of domicile. This escheatment is revocable and the state is obligated to pay the Death Benefit (without interest) if your Beneficiary steps forward to claim it with the proper documentation.

To prevent such escheatment, it is important that you update your Beneficiary designations, including addresses, if and as they change. You may update your Beneficiary designations by submitting a Beneficiary change form to our Home Office.

Investment Requirements

If you purchase a Living Benefit Rider (except i4LIFE^® Advantage without Guaranteed Income Benefit), you will be subject to Investment Requirements. This requirement means you will be limited in your choice of Subaccount investments and in how much you can invest in certain Subaccounts. This also means you will not be able to allocate Contract Value to all of the Subaccounts that are available to Contractowners who have not elected a Living Benefit Rider.

If you elect a Living Benefit Rider, Investment Requirements apply whether you purchase the rider at contract issue or add it to an existing contract. The Living Benefit Rider you purchase and the date of purchase will determine which Investment Requirements Option will apply to your contract. See Option 1, Option 2, and Option 3 below. Currently, if you purchase i4LIFE^® without Guaranteed Income Benefit, you will not be subject to any Investment Requirements, although we reserve the right to impose Investment Requirements for this rider in the future. If we do exercise our right to do so, you will have to reallocate your Contract Value subject to such requirements.

Certain of the underlying funds that are included in the Investment Requirements, including funds managed by an adviser affiliated with us, employ risk management strategies that are intended to control the funds’ overall volatility, and for some funds, to also reduce the downside exposure of the funds during significant market downturns. These risk management strategies could limit the upside participation of the fund in rising equity markets relative to other funds. The success of the adviser’s risk management strategy depends, in part, on the adviser’s ability to effectively and efficiently implement its risk forecasts and to manage the strategy for the fund’s benefit. There is no guarantee that the strategy can achieve or maintain the fund’s optimal risk targets. The fund’s performance may be negatively impacted in certain markets as a result of reliance on these strategies. In low volatility markets the volatility management strategy may not mitigate losses. In addition, the adviser may not be able to effectively implement the strategy during rapid or extreme market events. Such inefficiency in implementation could cause the fund to lose more money than investing without the risk management strategy or not realize potential gains. Any one of these factors could impact the success of the volatility management strategy, and the fund may not perform as expected.

60

These funds are included under Investment Requirements (particularly in the Investment Requirements for the Managed Risk riders) in part, to reduce the risk of investment losses that may require us to use our own assets to make guaranteed payments under a Living Benefit Rider. Our financial interest in reducing loss and the volatility of overall Contract Values, in light of our obligations to provide benefits under the riders, may be deemed to present a potential conflict of interest with respect to the interests of Contractowners. In addition, any negative impact to the underlying funds as a result of the risk management strategies may limit contract values, which in turn may limit your ability to achieve step-ups of the benefit base under a Living Benefit Rider. For more information about the funds and the investment strategies they employ, please refer to the funds’ current prospectuses. Fund prospectuses are available by contacting us.

Under each option, we have divided the Subaccounts of your contract into groups and have specified the minimum or maximum percentages of Contract Value that must be in each group at the time you purchase the rider (or when the rider Investment Requirements are enforced, if later). In addition, depending on when you purchased your contract, you may allocate your Contract Value and Purchase Payments in accordance with certain asset allocation models, as noted below. If you terminate an asset allocation model, you must follow the Investment Requirements applicable to your rider. Some investment options are not available to you if you purchase certain riders. The Investment Requirements may not be consistent with an aggressive investment strategy. You should consult with your registered representative to determine if the Investment Requirements are consistent with your investment objectives.

The chart below is provided to help you determine which option of Investment Requirements, if any, applies to the Living Benefit Rider you purchase. If you do not elect a Living Benefit Rider, the Investment Requirements will not apply to your contract. Different Investment Requirements may apply if you terminate one rider and elect another rider.

All other Subaccounts will be referred to as “Non-Limited Subaccounts” except Deutsche Alternative Asset Allocation VIP Portfolio, PIMCO VIT Commodity Real Return^® Strategy Portfolio and ClearBridge Variable Mid Cap Core Portfolio which are not available. The Lincoln SSgA Aggressive Index Model, the Lincoln SSgA Structured Aggressive Model and the Franklin Templeton Founding Investment Strategy are also unavailable for investment.

You can select the percentages of Contract Value, if any, allocated to the Limited Subaccounts, but the cumulative total investment in all the Limited Subaccounts cannot exceed 35% of the total Contract Value. On each quarterly anniversary of the effective date of any of these benefits, if the Contract Value in the Limited Subaccounts exceeds 35%, Lincoln will rebalance your Contract Value so that the Contract Value in the Limited Subaccounts is 30%. If you are enrolled in portfolio rebalancing, the cumulative total investment in all the Limited Subaccounts cannot exceed 35% of total Contract Value. If your current portfolio rebalancing does not adhere to this requirement, your portfolio rebalancing program will be terminated.

If rebalancing is required, the Contract Value in excess of 30% will be removed from the Limited Subaccounts on a pro rata basis and invested in the remaining Non-Limited Subaccounts on a pro rata basis according to the Contract Value percentages in the Non-Limited Subaccounts at the time of the reallocation. If there is no Contract Value in the Non-Limited Subaccounts at that time, all Contract Value removed from the Limited Subaccounts will be placed in the Delaware VIP^® Limited-Term Diversified Income Series Subaccount. We reserve the right to designate a different investment option other than the Delaware VIP^® Limited-Term Diversified Income Series as the default investment option should there be no Contract Value in the Non-Limited Subaccounts. We will provide you with notice of such change. Confirmation of the rebalancing will appear on your quarterly statement.

We may move Subaccounts on or off the Limited or Non-Limited Subaccount list, exclude Subaccounts and asset allocation models from being available for investment, change the number of Limited Subaccount groups, change the percentages of Contract Value allowed in the Limited or Non-Limited Subaccounts or change the frequency of the Contract Value rebalancing, at any time, in our sole discretion. We will not make changes more than once per calendar year. You will be notified at least 30 days prior to the date of any change. We may make such modifications at any time when we believe the modifications are necessary to protect our ability to provide the guarantees under these riders. Our decision to make modifications will be based on several factors including the general market conditions and the style and investment objectives of the Subaccount investments.

At the time you receive notice of a change or when you are notified that we will begin enforcing the Investment Requirements, you may:

1.	submit your own reallocation instructions for the Contract Value in excess of 35% in the Limited Subaccounts; or
2.	take no action and be subject to the quarterly rebalancing as described above; or
3.	terminate the applicable rider immediately, without waiting for a termination event if you do not wish to be subject to these Investment Requirements.

Investment Requirements – Option 2

You can select the percentages of Contract Value (includes Account Value if i4LIFE^® Advantage is in effect) to allocate to individual Subaccounts within each group, but the total investment for all Subaccounts in a group must comply with the specified minimum or maximum percentages for that group.

62

In accordance with these Investment Requirements, you agree to be automatically enrolled in the portfolio rebalancing option under your contract and thereby authorize us to automatically rebalance your Contract Value on a periodic basis. On each quarterly anniversary of the effective date of the rider, we will rebalance your Contract Value, proportionately, based on your allocation instructions in effect at the time of the rebalancing. Any reallocation of Contract Value among the Subaccounts made by you prior to a rebalancing date will become your allocation instructions for rebalancing purposes. Confirmation of the rebalancing will appear on your quarterly statement. We reserve the right to change the rebalancing frequency, at any time, in our sole discretion. We will not make changes more than once per calendar year. You will be notified at least 30 days prior to the date of any change in frequency. If we rebalance Contract Value from the Subaccounts and your allocation instructions do not contain any Subaccounts that meet the Investment Requirements, then that portion of the rebalanced Contract Value that does not meet the Investment Requirements will be allocated to the Delaware VIP^® Limited-Term Diversified Income Series as the default investment option (or any other Subaccount that we may designate for that purpose). These investments will become your allocation instructions until you tell us otherwise.

We may change the list of Subaccounts in a group, change the number of groups, change the minimum or maximum percentages of Contract Value allowed in a group or change the investment options that are or are not available to you, at any time, in our sole discretion. We will not make changes more than once per calendar year. You will be notified at least 30 days prior to the date of any change. We may make such modifications at any time when we believe the modifications are necessary to protect our ability to provide the guarantees under these riders. Our decision to make modifications will be based on several factors including the general market conditions and the style and investment objectives of the Subaccount investments.

At the time you receive notice of a change to the Investment Requirements, you may:

1. submit your own reallocation instructions for the Contract Value, before the effective date specified in the notice, so that the Investment Requirements are satisfied;

2.

if you take no action, such changes will apply only to additional Purchase Payments or to future transfers of contract value. You will not be required to change allocations to existing Subaccounts, but you will not be allowed to add money, by either an additional Purchase Payment or a contract transfer, in excess of the new percentage applicable to a Subaccount or Subaccount group. This does not apply to Subaccounts added to Investment Requirements on or after June 30, 2009. For Subaccounts added to Investment Requirements on or after June 30, 2009, you may be subject to rebalancing as described above. If this results in a change to your allocation instructions, then these will be your new allocation instructions until you tell us otherwise; or

3.

terminate the applicable rider immediately, without waiting for a termination event if you do not wish to be subject to the new terms of the Investment Requirements.

At this time, the Subaccount groups are as follows:

Group 1 Investments must be at least 25% of Contract Value or Account Value (if i4LIFE® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit is in effect)	Group 2 Investments cannot exceed 75% of Contract Value or Account Value (if i4LIFE® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit is in effect)	Group 3 Investments cannot exceed 10% of Contract Value or Account Value (if i4LIFE® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit is in effect)

The PIMCO VIT CommodityRealReturn^® Strategy Portfolio and the ClearBridge Variable Mid Cap Core Portfolio are not available. The fixed account is only available for dollar cost averaging.

To satisfy these Investment Requirements, you may allocate 100% of your Contract Value among the Subaccounts on the following list, as applicable to your contract. If you allocate less than 100% of Contract Value to or among these Subaccounts, then these Subaccounts will be considered as part of Group 1 or 2 above, as applicable, and you will be subject to the Group 1 or 2 restrictions. In addition, you can allocate 100% of your Contract Value to the Franklin Templeton Founding Investment Strategy (Franklin Income VIP Fund 34%, LVIP Templeton Growth Managed Volatility Fund 33% and Franklin Mutual Shares VIP Fund 33%).

To satisfy these Investment Requirements, Contract Value can be allocated in accordance with certain asset allocation models, made available to you by your broker dealer. 100% of the Contract Value can be allocated to one of the following models: Lincoln SSgA Structured Conservative Model, Lincoln SSgA Structured Moderate Model, Lincoln SSgA Structured Moderately Aggressive Model, Lincoln SSgA Structured Moderately Aggressive Equity Model, Lincoln SSgA Conservative Index Model, Lincoln SSgA Moderate Index Model, Lincoln SSgA Moderately Aggressive Index Model and Lincoln SSgA Moderately Aggressive Equity Index Model. You may only choose one asset allocation model at a time, though you may change to a different asset allocation model available in your contract that meets the Investment Requirements or reallocate Contract Value among Group 1, Group 2 or Group 3 Subaccounts as described above. If you terminate an asset allocation model, you must follow the Investment Requirements applicable to your rider.

If you purchased the Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage Plus rider, your only investment options until the seventh Benefit Year anniversary are to allocate 100% of your Contract Value to: the LVIP Global Moderate Allocation Managed Risk Fund, the LVIP Global Conservative Allocation Managed Risk Fund, the LVIP SSgA Conservative Structured Allocation Fund, the LVIP SSgA Conservative Index Allocation Fund (each a fund of funds) or the Franklin Income VIP Fund or to one of the following models: Lincoln SSgA Conservative Index Model, Lincoln SSgA Moderate Index Model, Lincoln SSgA Structured Conservative Model, and Lincoln SSgA Structured Moderate Model. After the seventh Benefit Year anniversary, if your rider continues, you may invest in other Subaccounts in your contract, subject to Investment Requirements applicable to your purchase date of Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage.

Investment Requirements – Option 3

If you elect Lincoln Lifetime Income^SMAdvantage 2.0 (Managed Risk), i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit (Managed Risk) or 4LATER^® Advantage (Managed Risk), you must allocate your Contract Value in accordance with the Investment Requirements for Managed Risk Riders section below.

If you elect any other Living Benefit Rider, you must allocate your Contract Value in accordance with the Investment Requirements for other Living Benefit Riders section below. For all Living Benefit Riders, you can select the percentages of Contract Value (or Account Value if i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit is in effect) to allocate to individual Subaccounts within each group, but the total investment for all Subaccounts within the group must comply with the specified minimum or maximum percentages for that group.

You must hold the rider for a minimum period of time after election (the minimum time is specified under the Termination section of each rider). During this time, you will be required to adhere to the Investment Requirements. After this time, failure to adhere to the Investment Requirements will result in termination of the rider.

In accordance with these Investment Requirements, you agree to be automatically enrolled in the portfolio rebalancing option under your contract and thereby authorize us to automatically rebalance your Contract Value on a periodic basis. On each quarterly anniversary of the effective date of the rider, we will rebalance your Contract Value, proportionately, based on your allocation instructions in effect at the time of the rebalancing. Any reallocation of Contract Value among the Subaccounts made by you prior to a rebalancing date will become your allocation instructions for rebalancing purposes. Confirmation of the rebalancing will appear on your quarterly statement. If we rebalance Contract Value from the Subaccounts and your allocation instructions do not contain any Subaccounts that meet the Investment Requirements then that portion of the rebalanced Contract Value that does not meet the Investment Requirements will be allocated to the Delaware VIP^® Limited-Term Diversified Income Series as the default investment option or any other Subaccount that we may designate for that purpose. These investments will become your allocation instructions until you tell us otherwise.

We may change the list of Subaccounts in a group, change the number of groups, change the minimum or maximum percentages of Contract Value allowed in a group, change the investment options that are or are not available to you, or change the rebalancing frequency at any time in our sole discretion. You will be notified at least 30 days prior to the date of any change. We may make such modifications at any time when we believe the modifications are necessary to protect our ability to provide the guarantees under these

64

riders. Our decision to make modifications will be based on several factors including the general market conditions and the style and investment objectives of the Subaccount investments.

At the time you receive notice of a change to the Investment Requirements, you may:

1. submit your own reallocation instructions for the Contract Value, before the effective date specified in the notice, so that the Investment Requirements are satisfied;

2.	take no action and be subject to the quarterly rebalancing as described above. If this results in a change to your allocation instructions, then these will be your new allocation instructions until you tell us otherwise; or
3.	terminate the applicable rider immediately, without waiting for a termination event if you do not wish to be subject to these Investment Requirements.

65

Option 3 – Investment Requirements for Managed Risk Riders. If you elect Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk), i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit (Managed Risk) or 4LATER^® Advantage (Managed Risk), you must currently allocate your Contract Value among one or more of the following Subaccounts only.

Group 1 Investments must be at least 20% (30% for riders elected prior to January 20, 2015) of Contract Value or Account Value (if i4LIFE® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit (Managed Risk) is in effect) (subject to state approval)	Group 2 Investments cannot exceed 80% (70% for riders elected prior to January 20, 2015) of Contract Value or Account Value (if i4LIFE® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit (Managed Risk) is in effect) (subject to state approval)	Group 3 Investments cannot exceed 10% of Contract Value or Account Value (if i4LIFE® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit (Managed Risk) is in effect)

To satisfy these Investment Requirements, Contract Value may be allocated in accordance with certain asset allocation models (depending on when you purchased your contract) made available to you by your broker-dealer. If so, currently 100% of the Contract Value can be allocated to one of the following models: Lincoln SSgA Structured Conservative Model, Lincoln SSgA Structured Moderate Model, Lincoln SSgA Structured Moderately Aggressive Model, Lincoln SSgA Conservative Index Model, Lincoln SSgA Moderate Index Model and Lincoln SSgA Moderately Aggressive Index Model.

reallocate Contract Value among Group 1, Group 2 or Group 3 Subaccounts as described above. These models are not available for contracts issued on or after November 15, 2010. If you terminate an asset allocation model, you must follow the Investment Requirements applicable to your rider.

If you purchased the Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage Plus rider on or after January 20, 2009, your only investment options until the seventh Benefit Year anniversary are to allocate 100% of your Contract Value to: the LVIP Global Conservative Allocation Managed Risk Fund, the LVIP SSgA Conservative Structured Allocation Fund or the LVIP SSgA Conservative Index Allocation Fund (each a fund of funds), or, if your contract was purchased prior to November 15, 2010, to one of the following models: Lincoln SSgA Conservative Index Model and the Lincoln SSgA Structured Conservative Model. After the seventh Benefit Year anniversary, if your rider continues, you may invest in other Subaccounts in your contract, subject to Investment Requirements applicable to your purchase date of Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage.

Living Benefit Riders

The optional Living Benefit Riders offered under this variable annuity contract are described in the following sections. The riders offer either a minimum withdrawal benefit (Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk), Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0, Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage, and Lincoln SmartSecurity^® Advantage), a minimum Annuity Payout (i4LIFE^® Advantage with or without the Guaranteed Income Benefit, 4LATER^® Advantage (Managed Risk) and 4LATER^® Advantage), or a qualified long-term care benefit rider (Lincoln Long-Term Care^SM Advantage). Living Benefit Riders which are no longer available for purchase include: Lincoln SmartSecurity^® Advantage, Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage, Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 and 4LATER^® Advantage. Certain versions of i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit may also be unavailable unless guaranteed under a prior rider you purchased. You may not elect more than one Living Benefit Rider at any one time. Upon election of a Living Benefit Rider, you will be subject to Investment Requirements (unless you elect i4LIFE^® Advantage without the Guaranteed Income Benefit).

Excess Withdrawals under certain Living Benefit Riders may result in a reduction or premature termination of those benefits or of those riders. If you are not certain how an Excess Withdrawal will reduce your future guaranteed amounts, you should contact either your registered representative or us prior to requesting a withdrawal to find out what, if any, impact the Excess Withdrawal will have on any guarantees under the Living Benefit Rider. Terms and conditions may change after the contract is purchased.

The benefits and features of the optional Living Benefit Riders are separate and distinct from the downside protection strategies that may be employed by the funds offered under this contract. The riders do not guarantee the investment results of the funds.

The Living Benefit Riders provide different methods to take income from your Contract Value or receive lifetime payments and may provide certain guarantees. There are differences between the riders in the features provided as well as the charge structure. Before you elect a rider, or terminate your existing rider to elect a new rider, you should carefully review the terms and conditions of each rider. If you elect a rider at contract issue, then the rider will be effective on the contract’s effective date.

Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk)

All terms that apply to Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk) apply to Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 except as noted. Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 is no longer available for purchase.

Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk) is a Living Benefit Rider available for purchase in your contract that provides:

• Guaranteed lifetime periodic withdrawals for you (and your spouse if the joint life option is selected) up to the Guaranteed Annual Income amount which is based upon a guaranteed Income Base (a value equal to either your initial Purchase Payment and any Bonus Credits or Contract Value, if elected after the contract's effective date);

• A 5% Enhancement to the Income Base (less Purchase Payments received in the preceding Benefit Year) if greater than an Automatic Annual Step-up so long as no withdrawals are made in the preceding Benefit Year and the rider is within the Enhancement Period;

• Automatic Annual Step-ups of the Income Base to the Contract Value if the Contract Value is equal to or greater than the Income Base after the 5% Enhancement;

• Age-based increases to the Guaranteed Annual Income amount (after reaching a higher age-band and after an Automatic Annual Step-up).

Please note any withdrawals made prior to age 55 or that exceed the Guaranteed Annual Income amount or that are not payable to the original Contractowner or original Contractowner’s bank account (or to the original Annuitant or the original Annuitant’s bank account, if the owner is a non-natural person) (Excess Withdrawals) may significantly reduce your Income Base as well as your Guaranteed Annual Income amount by an amount greater than the dollar amount of the Excess Withdrawal and will terminate the rider if the Income Base is reduced to zero. Withdrawals will also negatively impact the availability of the 5% Enhancement.

68

In order to purchase Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk), the Purchase Payment or Contract Value (if purchased after the contract is issued) must be at least $25,000. This rider provides guaranteed, periodic withdrawals for your life as Contractowner/Annuitant (single life option) or for the lives of you as Contractowner/Annuitant and your spouse as joint owner (joint life option) regardless of the investment performance of the contract, provided certain conditions are met. The Contractowner, Annuitant or Secondary Life may not be changed while this rider is in effect (except if the Secondary Life assumes ownership of the contract upon death of the Contractowner), including any sale or assignment of the contract as collateral. An Income Base is used to calculate the Guaranteed Annual Income payment from your contract, but is not available as a separate benefit upon death or surrender. The Income Base is equal to the initial Purchase Payment plus the amount of any Bonus Credit applicable to that Purchase Payment (or Contract Value if elected after contract issue), increased by subsequent Purchase Payments, any Bonus Credits, Automatic Annual Step-ups and 5% Enhancements, and decreased by Excess Withdrawals in accordance with the provisions set forth below. After the first anniversary of the rider effective date, once cumulative additional Purchase Payments exceed $100,000, additional Purchase Payments will be limited to $50,000 per Benefit Year without Home Office approval. No additional Purchase Payments are allowed if the Contract Value decreases to zero for any reason. No additional Purchase Payments are allowed after the Nursing Home Enhancement is requested and approved by us (described later in this prospectus).

This rider provides for guaranteed, periodic withdrawals up to the Guaranteed Annual Income amount commencing after the younger of you or your spouse (joint life option) reach age 55. The Guaranteed Annual Income payments are based upon specified percentages of the Income Base. The specified withdrawal percentages of the Income Base are age based and may increase over time. With the single life option, you may receive Guaranteed Annual Income payments for your lifetime. If you purchase the joint life option, Guaranteed Annual Income amounts for the lifetimes of you and your spouse will be available.

Lincoln Life offers other optional riders available for purchase with its variable annuity contracts. These riders provide different methods to take income from your Contract Value and may provide certain guarantees. There are differences between the riders in the features provided as well as the charge structure. In addition, the purchase of one rider may impact the availability of another rider. Information about the relationship between Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk) and these other riders is included later in this discussion. Not all riders will be available at all times. You may consider purchasing Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk) if you want a guaranteed lifetime income payment that may grow as you get older and may increase through the Automatic Annual Step-up or 5% Enhancement. The cost of Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk) may be higher than other Living Benefit Riders that you may purchase in your contract. The age at which you may start receiving the Guaranteed Annual Income amount may be different than the ages that you may receive guaranteed payments under other riders.

Availability. Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk) is only available for election at the time the contract is purchased, unless the contract was issued prior to August 26, 2013. Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 is no longer available for purchase.

Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk) is available for purchase with nonqualified and qualified (IRAs and Roth IRAs) annuity contracts. The Contractowner/Annuitant as well as the spouse under the joint life option must be age 85 or younger at the time this rider is elected. You cannot elect the rider and any other Living Benefit Rider offered in your contract at the same time. You may not elect the rider if you have also elected i4LIFE^® Advantage or 4LATER^® Advantage (Managed Risk), which are Annuity Payout options. There is no guarantee that Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk) will be available for new purchasers in the future as we reserve the right to discontinue this benefit at any time. In addition, we may make different versions of Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk) available to new purchasers.

If your Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 rider was purchased prior to April 2, 2012, you are not eligible to purchase Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk) as there would be no additional benefit to you.

If you purchased your contract prior to August 26, 2013, and you own a Living Benefit Rider (other than Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0) and you wish to elect Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk), you must first terminate your existing Living Benefit Rider. You must wait at least 12 months after this termination and also comply with your existing Living Benefit Rider’s termination rules, before you will be able to elect Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk). For further information on termination rules, see the “Termination” section associated with your Living Benefit Rider. In all cases, by terminating your existing Living Benefit Rider, you will no longer be entitled to any of the benefits that have accrued under that rider.

If you purchase Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk), you will be limited in your ability to invest within the Subaccounts offered within your contract. You will be required to adhere to Investment Requirements - Option 3 for Managed Risk Riders. If you purchased Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0, you are required to adhere to Investment Requirements - Option 3 for other Living Benefit Riders.

In addition, the fixed account is not available except for use with dollar cost averaging. See Investment Requirements for more information.

If you elect this rider at contract issue, it will be effective on the contract’s effective date. For contracts issued prior to August 26, 2013, if you elect the rider after the contract is issued, the rider will be effective on the next Valuation Date following approval by us.

69

Benefit Year. The Benefit Year is the 12-month period starting with the effective date of the rider and starting with each anniversary of the rider effective date after that.

Income Base. The Income Base is a value used to calculate your Guaranteed Annual Income amount. The Income Base is not available to you as a lump sum withdrawal or a Death Benefit. The initial Income Base varies based on when you elect the rider. If you elect the rider at the time you purchase the contract, the initial Income Base will equal your initial Purchase Payment plus the amount of any Bonus Credit. If you elect the rider after we issue the contract, the initial Income Base will equal the Contract Value on the effective date of the rider. The maximum Income Base is $10,000,000. This maximum takes into consideration the total guaranteed amounts under the Living Benefit Riders of all Lincoln Life contracts (or contracts issued by our affiliates) in which you (and/or spouse if joint life option) are the covered lives.

Additional Purchase Payments and any Bonus Credits automatically increase the Income Base by the amount of the Purchase Payment and any Bonus Credit (not to exceed the maximum Income Base); for example, a $10,000 additional Purchase Payment (which receives a 3% Bonus Credit) will increase the Income Base by $10,300. After the first anniversary of the rider effective date, once cumulative additional Purchase Payments exceed $100,000, additional Purchase Payments will be limited to $50,000 per Benefit Year without Home Office approval. If after the first Benefit Year cumulative additional Purchase Payments equal or exceed $100,000, the rider charge will change to the then current charge in effect on the next Benefit Year anniversary. Additional Purchase Payments will not be allowed if the Contract Value decreases to zero for any reason including market loss.

Excess Withdrawals reduce the Income Base as discussed below. Withdrawals less than or equal to the Guaranteed Annual Income amount will not reduce the Income Base.

Since the charge for the rider is based on the Income Base, the cost of the rider increases when additional Purchase Payments, and any applicable Bonus Credit Automatic Annual Step-ups and 5% Enhancements are made, and the cost decreases as Excess Withdrawals are made because these transactions all adjust the Income Base. In addition, the percentage charge may change when Automatic Annual Step-ups or 5% Enhancements occur as discussed below or additional Purchase Payments occur. See Charges and Other Deductions – Rider Charges – Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk) Charge.

5% Enhancement. On each Benefit Year anniversary, the Income Base, minus Purchase Payments and any applicable Bonus Credits received in the preceding Benefit Year, will be increased by 5% if the Contractowner/Annuitant (as well as the spouse if the joint life option is in effect) are under age 86, if there were no withdrawals in the preceding Benefit Year and the rider is within the Enhancement Period. The Enhancement Period is a 10-year period that begins on the effective date of the rider. A new Enhancement Period begins immediately following an Automatic Annual Step-up. If during any Enhancement Period there are no Automatic Annual Step-ups, the 5% Enhancements will stop at the end of the Enhancement Period and will not restart until the next Benefit Year anniversary following the Benefit Year anniversary upon which an Automatic Annual Step-up occurs. Any Purchase Payment (including any applicable Bonus Credit) made after the initial Purchase Payment will be added immediately to the Income Base and will result in an increased Guaranteed Annual Income amount but must be invested in the contract at least one Benefit Year before it will be used in calculating the 5% Enhancement. Any Purchase Payments (including any applicable Bonus Credit) made within the first 90 days after the effective date of the rider will be included in the Income Base for purposes of calculating the 5% Enhancement on the first Benefit Year anniversary.

If you decline an Automatic Annual Step-up during the first 10 Benefit Years, you will continue to be eligible for the 5% Enhancements through the end of the current Enhancement Period, but the rider charge could increase to the then current charge at the time of any 5% Enhancements after the 10^th Benefit Year anniversary. You will have the option to opt out of the Enhancements after the 10^th Benefit Year. In order to be eligible to receive further 5% Enhancements the Contractowner/Annuitant (single life option), or the Contractowner and spouse (joint life option) must still be living and be under age 86.

Note: The 5% Enhancement is not available on any Benefit Year anniversary where there has been a withdrawal of Contract Value (including a Guaranteed Annual Income payment) in the preceding Benefit Year. A 5% Enhancement will occur in subsequent years when certain conditions are met. If you are eligible (as defined below) for the 5% Enhancement in the next year, the Enhancement will not occur until the Benefit Year anniversary of that year.

The following is an example of the impact of the 5% Enhancement on the Income Base (assuming no withdrawalsand no Bonus Credits):

Initial Purchase Payment = $100,000; Income Base = $100,000

Additional Purchase Payment on day 30 = $15,000; Income Base = $115,000

Additional Purchase Payment on day 95 = $10,000; Income Base = $125,000

On the first Benefit Year anniversary, the Income Base will not be less than $130,750 ($115,000 x 1.05% = $120,750 + $10,000). The $10,000 Purchase Payment on day 95 is not eligible for the 5% Enhancement until the 2^nd Benefit Year anniversary.

The 5% Enhancement will be in effect for 10 years (the Enhancement Period) from the effective date of the rider. A new Enhancement Period will begin each time an Automatic Annual Step-up to the Contract Value occurs as described below. As explained below, the

70

5% Enhancement and Automatic Annual Step-up will not occur in the same year. If the Automatic Annual Step-up provides a greater increase to the Income Base, you will not receive the 5% Enhancement. If the Automatic Annual Step-up and the 5% Enhancement increase the Income Base to the same amount then you will receive the Automatic Annual Step-up. The 5% Enhancement or the Automatic Annual Step-up cannot increase the Income Base above the maximum Income Base of $10,000,000.

You will not receive the 5% Enhancement on any Benefit Year anniversary in which there is a withdrawal, including a Guaranteed Annual Income payment from the contract during the preceding Benefit Year. The 5% Enhancement will occur on the following Benefit Year anniversary if no further withdrawals are made from the contract and the rider is within the Enhancement Period.

An example of the impact of a withdrawal on the 5% Enhancement is included in the Withdrawal Amount section below.

If during the first 10 Benefit Years your Income Base is increased by the 5% Enhancement on the Benefit Year anniversary, your percentage charge for the rider will not change on the Benefit Year anniversary. However, the amount you pay for the rider will increase since the charge for the rider is based on the Income Base. After the 10^th Benefit Year anniversary the annual rider percentage charge may increase to the current charge each year if the Income Base increases as a result of the 5% Enhancement, but the charge will never exceed the guaranteed maximum annual percentage charge of 2.00%. See Charges and Other Deductions – Rider Charges – Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk) Charge.

If your percentage charge for this rider is increased due to a 5% Enhancement that occurs after the 10^th Benefit Year anniversary, you may opt-out of the 5% Enhancement by giving us notice in writing within 30 days after the Benefit Year anniversary if you do not want your percentage charge for the rider to change. This opt-out will only apply for this particular 5% Enhancement. You will need to notify us each time thereafter (if an Enhancement would cause your percentage charge to increase) if you do not want the 5% Enhancement. You may not opt-out of the 5% Enhancement if the current charge for the rider increases due to additional Purchase Payment made during the preceding Benefit Year that exceeds the $100,000 Purchase Payment restriction after the first Benefit Year. See Income Base section for more details.

Automatic Annual Step-ups of the Income Base. The Income Base will automatically step-up to the Contract Value on each Benefit Year anniversary if:

a.	the Contractowner/Annuitant (single life option), or the Contractowner and spouse (joint life option) are still living and under age 86; and
b.	the Contract Value on that Benefit Year anniversary, after the deduction of any withdrawals (including surrender charges, the rider charge and account fee), plus any Purchase Payments made on that date and Persistency Credits, if any, added on that date, is equal to or greater than the Income Base after the 5% Enhancement (if any).

Each time the Income Base is stepped up to the current Contract Value as described above, your percentage charge for the rider will be the current charge for the rider, not to exceed the guaranteed maximum charge. Therefore, your percentage charge for this rider could increase every Benefit Year anniversary. See Charges and Other Deductions – Rider Charges – Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk) Charge.

Each time the Automatic Annual Step-up occurs a new Enhancement Period starts. The Automatic Annual Step-up is available even in those years when a withdrawal has occurred.

If your percentage charge for this rider is increased upon an Automatic Annual Step-up, you may opt-out of the Automatic Annual Step-up by giving us notice in writing within 30 days after the Benefit Year anniversary if you do not want your percentage charge for the rider to change. This opt-out will only apply for this particular Automatic Annual Step-up. You will need to notify us each time the percentage charge increases if you do not want the Step-up. As stated above, if you decline an Automatic Annual Step-up during the first 10 Benefit Years, you will continue to be eligible for the 5% Enhancements through the end of the current Enhancement Period, but the rider charge could increase to the then current charge at the time of any 5% Enhancements after the 10^th Benefit Year anniversary. You will have the option to opt out of the Enhancements after the 10^th Benefit Year. See the earlier Income Base section. You may not opt-out of the Automatic Annual Step-up if an additional Purchase Payment made during that Benefit Year caused the charge for the rider to increase to the current charge.

Following is an example of how the Automatic Annual Step-ups and the 5% Enhancement will work (assuming no withdrawals or additional Purchase Payments or Bonus Credits):

	Contract Value	Income Base with 5% Enhancement	Income Base	Potential for Charge to Change

On the 1^st Benefit Year anniversary, the Automatic Annual Step-up increased the Income Base to the Contract Value of $54,000 since the increase in the Contract Value is greater than the 5% Enhancement amount of $2,500 (5% of $50,000). On the 2^nd Benefit Year anniversary, the 5% Enhancement provided a larger increase (5% of $54,000 = $2,700). On the 3^rd Benefit Year anniversary, the 5% Enhancement provided a larger increase (5% of $56,700 = $2,835). On the 4^th Benefit Year anniversary, the Automatic Annual Step-up to the Contract Value was greater than the 5% Enhancement amount of $2,977 (5% of $59,535). An Automatic Annual Step-up cannot increase the Income Base beyond the maximum Income Base of $10,000,000.

Withdrawal Amount. You may make periodic withdrawals up to the Guaranteed Annual Income amount each Benefit Year for your (Contractowner) lifetime (single life option) or the lifetimes of you and your spouse (joint life option) as long as your Guaranteed Annual Income amount is greater than zero. You may start taking Guaranteed Annual Income withdrawals when you (single life option) or the younger of you and your spouse (joint life option) turns age 55.

The initial Guaranteed Annual Income amount is calculated when you purchase the rider. If you (or younger of you and your spouse if the joint life option is elected) are under age 55 at the time the rider is elected the initial Guaranteed Annual Income amount will be zero. If you (or the younger of you and your spouse if the joint life option is elected) are age 55 or older at the time the rider is elected the initial Guaranteed Annual Income amount will be equal to a specified percentage of the Income Base. Upon your first withdrawal the Guaranteed Annual Income percentage is based on your age (single life option) or the younger of you and your spouse’s age (joint life option) at the time of the withdrawal. For example, if you purchase Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk) on or after May 20, 2013, at age 60 (single life option), your Guaranteed Annual Income percentage is 4% (see the table below). If you waited until you were age 70 (single life option) to make your first withdrawal your Guaranteed Annual Income percentage would be 5%. During the first Benefit Year the Guaranteed Annual Income amount is calculated using the Income Base as of the effective date of the rider (including any Purchase Payments made within the first 90 days after the effective date of the rider). After the first Benefit Year anniversary we will use the Income Base calculated on the most recent Benefit Year anniversary for calculating the Guaranteed Annual Income amount. After your first withdrawal the Guaranteed Annual Income amount percentage will only increase on a Benefit Year anniversary on or after you have reached an applicable higher age band and after there has also been an Automatic Annual Step-up. If you have reached an applicable age band and there has not also been a subsequent Automatic Annual Step-up, then the Guaranteed Annual Income amount percentage will not increase until the next Automatic Annual Step-up occurs. If you do not withdraw the entire Guaranteed Annual Income amount during a Benefit Year, there is no carryover of the remaining amount into the next Benefit Year.

Note that Guaranteed Annual Income percentages for Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk) and Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 riders purchased prior to May 20, 2013, can be found in an Appendix to this prospectus.

If your Contract Value is reduced to zero because of market performance or rider charges, withdrawals equal to the Guaranteed Annual Income amount will continue automatically for your life (and your spouse’s life if applicable) under the Guaranteed Annual Income Amount Annuity Payout Option. You may not withdraw the remaining Income Base in a lump sum. You will not be entitled to the Guaranteed Annual Income amount if the Income Base is reduced to zero as a result of an Excess Withdrawal. If the Income

72

Base is reduced to zero due to an Excess Withdrawal the rider will terminate. If the Contract Value is reduced to zero due to an Excess Withdrawal the rider and contract will terminate.

Withdrawals equal to or less than the Guaranteed Annual Income amount will not reduce the Income Base. All withdrawals you make will decrease the Contract Value. Surrender charges are waived on cumulative withdrawals less than or equal to the Guaranteed Annual Income amount.

The following example shows the calculation of the Guaranteed Annual Income amount for Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk) and how withdrawals less than or equal to the Guaranteed Annual Income amount affect the Income Base and the Contract Value. The Contractowner is age 60 (4% Guaranteed Annual Income percentage for Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk)) elected on or after May 20, 2013, on the rider’s effective date, and makes an initial Purchase Payment of $200,000 into the contract:

Contract Value on the rider's effective date	$200,000
Income Base on the rider's effective date	$200,000
Initial Guaranteed Annual Income amount on the rider's effective date ($200,000 x 4%)	$8,000
Contract Value six months after rider's effective date	$210,000
Income Base six months after rider's effective date	$200,000
Withdrawal six months after rider's effective date when Contractowner is still age 60	$8,000
Contract Value after withdrawal ($210,000 - $8,000)	$202,000
Income Base after withdrawal ($200,000 - $0)	$200,000
Contract Value on first Benefit Year anniversary	$205,000
Income Base on first Benefit Year anniversary	$205,000
Guaranteed Annual Income amount on first Benefit Year anniversary ($205,000 x 4%)	$8,200

Since there was a withdrawal during the first year, the 5% Enhancement is not available, but the Automatic Annual Step-up was available and increased the Income Base to the Contract Value of $205,000. On the first anniversary of the rider’s effective date, the Guaranteed Annual Income amount is $8,200 (4% x $205,000).

Purchase Payments and any Bonus Credits added to the contract subsequent to the initial Purchase Payment will increase the Guaranteed Annual Income amount by an amount equal to the applicable Guaranteed Annual Income amount percentage multiplied by the amount of the subsequent Purchase Payment and any applicable Bonus Credit. For example, assuming a Contractowner is age 60 (single life option), if the Guaranteed Annual Income amount of $2,000 (4% of $50,000 Income Base) is in effect and an additional Purchase Payment of $10,000 is made (which receives a 3% Bonus Credit), the new Guaranteed Annual Income amount that Benefit Year is $2,412 ($2,000 + 4% of $10,300). The Guaranteed Annual Income payment amount will be recalculated immediately after a Purchase Payment is added to the contract. Persistency Credits added to the contract do not immediately increase the Guaranteed Annual Income amount but are added to the Contract Value and may increase the Income Base upon an Automatic Annual Step-up which in return may increase the Guaranteed Annual Income amount.

After the first anniversary of the rider effective date, once cumulative additional Purchase Payments exceed $100,000, additional Purchase Payments will be limited to $50,000 per Benefit Year without Home Office approval. Additional Purchase Payments will not be allowed if the Contract Value is zero. No additional Purchase Payments are allowed after the Nursing Home Enhancement is requested and approved by us (described below).

5% Enhancements and Automatic Annual Step-ups will increase the Income Base and thus the Guaranteed Annual Income amount. The Guaranteed Annual Income amount after the Income Base is adjusted either by a 5% Enhancement or an Automatic Annual Step-up will be equal to the adjusted Income Base multiplied by the applicable Guaranteed Annual Income percentage.

Nursing Home Enhancement. (The Nursing Home Enhancement is not available in certain states. Please check with your registered representative.) The Guaranteed Annual Income amount will be increased to 10%, called the Nursing Home Enhancement, during a Benefit Year when the Contractowner/Annuitant is age 70 or older, or the younger of the Contractowner and spouse is age 70 or older (joint life option), and one is admitted into an accredited nursing home or equivalent health care facility. For election of any version of Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 prior to May 20, 2013, the Nursing Home Enhancement is available when the Contractowner/Annuitant is age 65 or older, or the younger of the Contractowner and spouse is age 65 or older (joint life option), and one is admitted into an accredited nursing home or equivalent health care facility. (The Nursing Home Enhancement is not available until the next Benefit Year anniversary after age 70 (or 65 for rider elections prior to May 20, 2013) if a withdrawal has been taken since the rider effective date.) The Nursing Home Enhancement applies if the admittance into such facility occurs 60 months or more after the effective date of the rider, the individual was not in the nursing home in the year prior to the effective date of the rider, and upon entering the nursing home, the person has then been confined for at least 90 consecutive days. For the joint life option if both spouses qualify, the Nursing Home Enhancement is available for either spouse, but not both spouses. You should carefully consider

73

the fact that the enhanced Guaranteed Annual Income rate is only available for one measuring life before an election is made. For Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk) elections on and after January 20, 2015, the Nursing Home Enhancement will not be available if your Contract Value is reduced to zero for any reason, including withdrawals, market performance, or rider charges.

You may request the Nursing Home Enhancement by filling out a request form provided by us. Proof of nursing home confinement will be required each year. If you leave the nursing home, and/or for Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk) elections on and after January 20, 2015, if your Contract Value is reduced to zero for any reason, your Guaranteed Annual Income amount will be reduced to the amount you would otherwise be eligible to receive. Any withdrawals made prior to the entrance into a nursing home and during the Benefit Year that the Nursing Home Enhancement commences, will reduce the amount available that year for the Nursing Home Enhancement. Purchase Payments may not be made into the contract after a request for the Nursing Home Enhancement is approved by us and any Purchase Payments made either in the 12 months prior to entering the nursing home or while you are residing in a nursing home will not be included in the calculation of the Nursing Home Enhancement.

The requirements of an accredited nursing home or equivalent health care facility are set forth in the Nursing Home Enhancement Claim Form. The criteria for the facility include, but are not limited to: providing 24 hour a day nursing services; an available physician; an employed nurse on duty or call at all times; maintains daily clinical records; and able to dispense medications. This does not include an assisted living or similar facility. The admittance to a nursing home must be pursuant to a plan of care provided by a licensed health care practitioner, and the nursing home must be located in the United States. The remaining references to the Guaranteed Annual Income amount also include the Nursing Home Enhancement amount.

Contractowners in South Dakota who elect any version of Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 on or after January 1, 2013, have the option to increase the Guaranteed Annual Income amount upon the diagnosis of a terminal illness, subject to certain conditions. The Guaranteed Annual Income amount will be increased to 10% during a Benefit Year when the Contractowner/Annuitant is age 70 or older or the younger of the Contractowner and spouse is age 70 or older (joint life option), and one is diagnosed by a licensed physician that his or her life expectancy is twelve months or less. For election of any version of Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 from January 1, 2013 to May 20, 2013, the terminal illness provision is available when the Contractowner/Annuitant is age 65 or older, or the younger of the Contractowner and spouse is age 65 or older (joint life option), and one is diagnosed by a licensed physician that his or her life expectancy is twelve months or less. (The terminal illness provision is not available until the next Benefit Year anniversary after age 70 (or 65 for rider elections prior to May 20, 2013) if a withdrawal has been taken since the rider effective date.) This provision applies if the diagnosis of terminal illness occurs 60 months or more after the effective date of the rider and the diagnosis was not made in the year prior to the effective date of the rider. For the joint life option if both spouses qualify, this provision for terminal illness is available for either spouse, but not both spouses. You should carefully consider the fact that the enhanced Guaranteed Annual Income rate is only available for one measuring life before an election is made. For Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk) elections on and after January 20, 2015, the terminal illness provision will not be available if your Contract Value is reduced to zero for any reason, including withdrawals, market performance, or rider charges.

Once either the Nursing Home Enhancement or the terminal illness enhancement is elected for one spouse, neither enhancement will be available for the other spouse. You may request the terminal illness enhancement by filling out a request form provided by us. For Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk) elections on and after January 20, 2015, if your Contract Value is reduced to zero for any reason, your Guaranteed Annual Income amount will be reduced to the amount you would otherwise be eligible to receive. Any withdrawals made prior to the diagnosis of a terminal illness and during the Benefit Year that the terminal illness enhancement commences will reduce the amount available that year for the terminal illness enhancement. Purchase Payments may not be made into the contract after a request for the terminal illness enhancement is approved by us and any Purchase Payments made either in the 12 months prior to the terminal illness diagnosis or during the duration of the terminal illness will not be included in the calculation of the terminal illness enhancement. Any requirements to qualify for the terminal illness enhancement are set forth in the Terminal Illness Claim Form. The remaining references to the Guaranteed Annual Income amount also include the terminal illness enhancement amount for Contractowners in South Dakota only.

Excess Withdrawals. Excess Withdrawals are the cumulative amounts withdrawn from the contract during the Benefit Year (including the current withdrawal) that exceed the Guaranteed Annual Income amount at the time of the withdrawal or are withdrawals made prior to age 55 (younger of you or your spouse for joint life) or that are not payable to the original Contractowner or original Contractowner’s bank account (or to the original Annuitant or the original Annuitant’s bank account, if the owner is a non-natural person).

When an Excess Withdrawal occurs:

1. The Income Base is reduced by the same proportion that the Excess Withdrawal reduces the Contract Value. This means that the reduction in the Income Base could be more than the dollar amount of the withdrawal; and

2. The Guaranteed Annual Income amount will be recalculated to equal the applicable Guaranteed Annual Income amount percentage multiplied by the new (reduced) Income Base (after the proportionate reduction for the Excess Withdrawal).

We will provide you with quarterly statements that will include the Guaranteed Annual Income amount (as adjusted for Guaranteed Annual Income amount payments, Excess Withdrawals and additional Purchase Payments) available to you for the Benefit Year, if

74

applicable, in order for you to determine whether a withdrawal may be an Excess Withdrawal. We encourage you to either consult with your registered representative or call us at the number provided on the front page of this prospectus if you have questions about Excess Withdrawals.

The following example demonstrates the impact of an Excess Withdrawal on the Income Base, the Guaranteed Annual Income amount and the Contract Value under Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk). The Contractowner who is age 60 (single life option) makes a $12,000 withdrawal which causes a $12,915.19 reduction in the Income Base.

Prior to Excess Withdrawal:
Contract Value = $60,000
Income Base = $85,000
Guaranteed Annual Income amount = $3,400 (4% of the Income Base of $85,000)
After a $12,000 Withdrawal ($3,400 is within the Guaranteed Annual Income amount, $8,600 is the Excess Withdrawal):
The Contract Value is reduced by the amount of the Guaranteed Annual Income amount of $3,400 and the Income Base is not reduced:

Contract Value = $56,600 ($60,000 - $3,400)
Income Base = $85,000

The Contract Value is also reduced by the $8,600 Excess Withdrawal and the Income Base is reduced by 15.19435%, the same proportion by which the Excess Withdrawal reduced the $56,600 Contract Value ($8,600 ÷ $56,600)

Contract Value = $48,000 ($56,600 - $8,600)
Income Base = $72,084.81 ($85,000 x 15.19435% = $12,915.19; $85,000 - $12,915.19 = $72,084.81)
Guaranteed Annual Income amount = $2,883.39 (4% of $72,084.81 Income Base)

On the following Benefit Year anniversary the Contract Value has been reduced due to a declining market, but the Income Base is unchanged:

Contract Value = $43,000
Income Base = $72,084.81
Guaranteed Annual Income amount = $2,883.39 (4% x $72,084.81)

In a declining market, Excess Withdrawals may significantly reduce your Income Base as well as your Guaranteed Annual Income amount. This is because the reduction in the benefit may be more than the dollar amount withdrawn from the Contract Value. If the Income Base is reduced to zero due to an Excess Withdrawal the rider will terminate. If the Contract Value is reduced to zero due to an Excess Withdrawal the rider and contract will terminate.

Surrender charges are waived on cumulative withdrawals less than or equal to the Guaranteed Annual Income amount. Excess Withdrawals will be subject to surrender charges unless one of the waivers of surrender charge provisions set forth in this prospectus is applicable. Continuing with the prior example of the $12,000 withdrawal: the $3,400 Guaranteed Annual Income amount is not subject to surrender charges; the $8,600 Excess Withdrawal may be subject to surrender charges according to the surrender charge schedule in this prospectus. See Charges and Other Deductions – Surrender Charge. Withdrawals attributed to bonus credits are not subject to surrender charges.

Withdrawals from IRA contracts will be treated as within the Guaranteed Annual Income amount (even if they exceed the Guaranteed Annual Income amount) only if the withdrawals are taken as systematic installments of the amount needed to satisfy the required minimum distribution (RMD) rules under Internal Revenue Code Section 401(a)(9). In addition, in order for this exception for RMDs to apply, the following must occur:

1.	Lincoln’s automatic withdrawal service is used to calculate and pay the RMD;
2.	The RMD calculation must be based only on the value in this contract; and
3.	No withdrawals other than RMDs are made within the Benefit Year (except as described in the next paragraph).

If your RMD withdrawals during a Benefit Year are less than the Guaranteed Annual Income amount, an additional amount up to the Guaranteed Annual Income amount may be withdrawn and will not be subject to surrender charges. If a withdrawal, other than an RMD is made during the Benefit Year, then all amounts withdrawn in excess of the Guaranteed Annual Income amount, including amounts attributable to RMDs, will be treated as Excess Withdrawals.

Distributions from qualified contracts are generally taxed as ordinary income. In nonqualified contracts, withdrawals of Contract Value that exceed Purchase Payments are taxed as ordinary income. See Federal Tax Matters for a discussion of the tax consequences of withdrawals.

Guaranteed Annual Income Amount Annuity Payout Option. If you are required to take annuity payments because you have reached the maturity date of the contract, you have the option of electing the Guaranteed Annual Income Amount Annuity Payout Option. If the Contract Value is reduced to zero and you have a remaining Income Base, you will receive the Guaranteed Annual Income Amount

75

Annuity Payout Option. If you are receiving the Guaranteed Annual Income Amount Annuity Payout Option, the Beneficiary may be eligible to receive final payment upon death of the single life or surviving joint life. To be eligible the Death Benefit option in effect immediately prior to the effective date of the Guaranteed Annual Income Amount Annuity Payout Option must be one of the following Death Benefits: the Guarantee of Principal Death Benefit, the EGMDB or the EEB rider. If the Account Value Death Benefit option is in effect, the Beneficiary will not be eligible to receive the final payment(s).

The Guaranteed Annual Income Amount Annuity Payout Option is an Annuity Payout option under which the Contractowner (and spouse if applicable) will receive annual annuity payments equal to the Guaranteed Annual Income amount for life (this option is different from other Annuity Payout options, including i4LIFE^® Advantage, which are based on your Contract Value). Contractowners may decide to choose the Guaranteed Annual Income Amount Annuity Payout Option over i4LIFE^® Advantage if they feel this may provide a higher final payment option over time and they may place more importance on this over access to the Account Value. Payment frequencies other than annual may be available. You will have no other contract features other than the right to receive annuity payments equal to the Guaranteed Annual Income amount for your life or the life of you and your spouse for the joint life option.

The final payment is a one-time lump-sum payment. If the effective date of the rider is the same as the effective date of the contract, the final payment will be equal to the sum of all Purchase Payments, decreased by withdrawals. If the effective date of the rider is after the effective date of the contract, the final payment will be equal to the Contract Value on the effective date of the rider, increased for Purchase Payments received after the rider effective date and decreased by withdrawals. Excess Withdrawals reduce the final payment in the same proportion as the withdrawals reduce the Contract Value; withdrawals less than or equal to the Guaranteed Annual Income amount and payments under the Guaranteed Annual Income Amount Annuity Payout Option will reduce the final payment dollar for dollar.

Death Prior to the Annuity Commencement Date.Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk) has no provision for a payout of the Income Base or any other Death Benefit upon death of the Contractowners or Annuitant. At the time of death, if the Contract Value equals zero, no Death Benefit options (as described earlier in this prospectus) will be in effect. Election of Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk) does not impact the Death Benefit options available for purchase with your annuity contract except as described below in Impact to Withdrawal Calculations of Death Benefits before the Annuity Commencement Date. All Death Benefit payments must be made in compliance with Internal Revenue Code Sections 72(s) or 401(a)(9) as applicable as amended from time to time. See The Contracts - Death Benefit.

Upon the death of the single life, Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk) will end and no further Guaranteed Annual Income amounts are available (even if there was an Income Base in effect at the time of the death). If the Beneficiary elects to continue the contract after the death of the single life (through a separate provision of the contract), the Beneficiary may purchase a new Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk) if available under the terms and charge in effect at the time of the new purchase. There is no carryover of the Income Base.

Upon the first death under the joint life option, withdrawals up to the Guaranteed Annual Income amount continue to be available for the life of the surviving spouse. The 5% Enhancement and Automatic Annual Step-up will continue if applicable as discussed above. Upon the death of the surviving spouse, Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk) will end and no further Guaranteed Annual Income amounts are available (even if there was an Income Base in effect at the time of the death).

As an alternative, after the first death, the surviving spouse, if under age 86, may choose to terminate the joint life option and purchase a new single life option, if available, under the terms and charge in effect at the time for a new purchase. In deciding whether to make this change, the surviving spouse should consider whether the change will cause the Income Base and the Guaranteed Annual Income amount to decrease.

Termination. After the fifth anniversary of the effective date of the rider, the Contractowner may terminate the rider by notifying us in writing of the request to terminate or by failing to adhere to Investment Requirements. Contractowners in Florida who elect their rider on or after January 20, 2015, may terminate the rider after the first anniversary of the effective date of the rider.Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk) will automatically terminate:

• on the Annuity Commencement Date (except payments under the Guaranteed Annual Income Amount Annuity Payout Option will continue if applicable);

• upon the death under the single life option or the death of the surviving spouse under the joint life option;

• when the Guaranteed Annual Income amount or Contract Value is reduced to zero due to an Excess Withdrawal;

• upon surrender of the contract; or

• upon termination of the underlying annuity contract.

The termination will not result in any increase in Contract Value equal to the Income Base. Upon effective termination of this rider, the benefits and charges within this rider will terminate. If you terminate the rider, you must wait one year before you can elect any Living Benefit Rider available for purchase at that time. The Lincoln Long-Term Care^SM Advantage rider cannot be elected after the contract is purchased.

i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit (Managed Risk) for purchasers who previously purchased Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk).i4LIFE^® Advantage is an optional Annuity Payout rider that provides periodic variable

76

income payments for life, the ability to make withdrawals during a defined period of time (the Access Period) and a Death Benefit during the Access Period. A minimum payout floor, called the Guaranteed Income Benefit, is also available for election at the time you elect i4LIFE^® Advantage. You cannot have both i4LIFE^® Advantage and Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk) in effect on your contract at the same time.

Prior to the Annuity Commencement Date, Contractowners with any active version of Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 may decide to terminate their rider and elect i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit. This election is possible even if i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit is no longer available for purchase. (Contractowners with Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk) must elect i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit (Managed Risk).) Contractowners are also guaranteed that the Guaranteed Income Benefit percentage and Access Period requirements will be at least as favorable as those in effect at the time they purchase Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk). If the decision to terminate Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk) is made, the Contractowner can use the greater of the Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk) Income Base reduced by all Guaranteed Annual Income payments since the last Automatic Annual Step-up (or inception date) or the Account Value immediately prior to electing i4LIFE^® Advantage to establish the i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit (Managed Risk). This decision must be made by the maximum age to elect i4LIFE^® Advantage, which is age 95 for nonqualified contracts and age 80 for qualified contracts. Purchasers of Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk) and purchasers of Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 prior to April 2, 2012, who have waited until after the 5^th Benefit Year anniversary may elect i4LIFE^® Advantage with the applicable version of Guaranteed Income Benefit until age 99 for nonqualified contracts and age 85 for qualified contracts.

If you choose to terminate Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk) and have the single life option, you must purchase i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit (Managed Risk) single life option. If you terminate Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk) and have the joint life option, you must purchase i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit (Managed Risk) joint life option. The minimum length of the i4LIFE^® Advantage Access Period will vary based upon when you purchased your Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 or Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk) rider and how long the rider was in effect before you decided to purchase i4LIFE^® Advantage. These requirements are specifically listed in the Guaranteed Income Benefit with i4LIFE^® Advantage section of this prospectus under Impacts to i4LIFE^® Advantage Regular Income Payments.

For nonqualified contracts, the Contractowner must elect the levelized option for Regular Income Payments. While i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit (Managed Risk) is in effect, the Contractowner cannot change the payment mode elected or decrease the length of the Access Period.

When deciding whether to terminate Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk) and purchase i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit (Managed Risk) you should consider that depending on a person’s age and the selected length of the Access Period, i4LIFE^® Advantage may provide a higher payout than the Guaranteed Annual Income amounts under Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk). You should consider electing i4LIFE^® Advantage when you are ready to immediately start receiving i4LIFE^® Advantage payments whereas with Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk) you may defer taking withdrawals until a later date. Payments from a nonqualified contract that a person receives under the i4LIFE^® Advantage rider are treated as “amounts received as an annuity” under section 72 of the Internal Revenue Code because the payments occur after the annuity starting date. These payments are subject to an “exclusion ratio” as provided in section 72(b) of the Code, which means a portion of each Annuity Payout is treated as income (taxable at ordinary income tax rates), and the remainder is treated as a nontaxable return of Purchase Payments. In contrast, withdrawals under Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk) are not treated as amounts received as an annuity because they occur prior to the annuity starting date. As a result, such withdrawals are treated first as a return of any existing gain in the contract (which is the measure of the extent to which the Contract Value exceeds Purchase Payments), and then as a nontaxable return of Purchase Payments.

Impact to Withdrawal Calculations of Death Benefits before the Annuity Commencement Date. The Death Benefit calculation for certain Death Benefit options in effect prior to the Annuity Commencement Date may change for Contractowners with any active version of Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0. Certain Death Benefit options provide that all withdrawals reduce the Death Benefit in the same proportion that the withdrawals reduce the Contract Value. If you elect Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk), withdrawals less than or equal to the Guaranteed Annual Income will reduce the sum of all Purchase Payment amounts on a dollar for dollar basis for purposes of calculating the Death Benefit under the Guarantee of Principal Death Benefit. The same also applies to the EGMDB or the EEB rider if the Death Benefit is based on the sum of all Purchase Payments, decreased by withdrawals. See The Contracts – Death Benefits. Any Excess Withdrawals will reduce the sum of all Purchase Payments in the same proportion that the withdrawals reduced the Contract Value under any Death Benefit option in which proportionate withdrawals are in effect. This change has no impact on Death Benefit options in which all withdrawals reduce the Death Benefit calculation on a dollar for dollar basis. The terms of your contract will describe which method is in effect for your contract while this rider is in effect.

The following example demonstrates how a withdrawal will reduce the Death Benefit if both the EGMDB and Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk) are in effect when the Contractowner dies. Note that this calculation applies only to the sum of all Purchase Payments calculation and not for purposes of reducing the highest anniversary Contract Value under the EGMDB:

Contract Value before withdrawal $80,000

Guaranteed Annual Income amount $5,000

Enhanced Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit (EGMDB) values before withdrawal is the greatest of a), b), or c) described in detail in the EGMDB section of this prospectus:

a) Contract Value $80,000

b) Sum of Purchase Payments $100,000

c) Highest anniversary Contract Value $150,000

Withdrawal of $9,000 will impact the Death Benefit calculation as follows:

a) $80,000 - $9,000 = $71,000 (Reduction $9,000)

b) $100,000 - $5,000 = $95,000 (reduction by the amount of the Guaranteed Annual Income amount)

($95,000 - $5,067 = $89,933 [$95,000 x ($4,000/$75,000) = $5,067] Proportional reduction of Excess Withdrawal. Total reduction = $10,067.

c) $150,000 - $16,875 = $133,125 [$150,000 x $9,000/$80,000 = $16,875]. The entire $9,000 withdrawal reduced the Death Benefit option proportionally. Total reduction = $16,875.

Item c) provides the largest Death Benefit of $133,125.

Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage

The Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage and Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage Plus riders are no longer available for purchase.

The Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage rider provides minimum, guaranteed, periodic withdrawals for your life as Contractowner/Annuitant (single life option) or for the lives of you as Contractowner/Annuitant and your spouse as joint owner or primary Beneficiary (joint life option) regardless of the investment performance of the contract, provided that certain conditions are met. The Contractowner, Annuitant or Secondary Life may not be changed while this rider is in effect (except if the Secondary Life assumes ownership of the contract upon death of the Contractowner), including any sale or assignment of the contract as collateral. A minimum guaranteed amount (Guaranteed Amount) is used to calculate the periodic withdrawals from your contract, but is not available as a separate benefit upon death or surrender. The Guaranteed Amount is equal to the initial Purchase Payment plus the amount of any Bonus Credit applicable to that Purchase Payment (or Contract Value if elected after contract issue) increased by subsequent Purchase Payments, any Bonus Credits, Automatic Annual Step-ups, 5% Enhancements and the Step-up to 200% of the initial Guaranteed Amount (if applicable to your contract) and decreased by withdrawals in accordance with the provisions set forth below. After the first anniversary of the rider effective date, once cumulative additional Purchase Payments exceed $100,000, additional Purchase Payments will be limited to $50,000 per Benefit Year without Home Office approval. No additional Purchase Payments are allowed if the Contract Value decreases to zero for any reason.

This rider provides annual withdrawals of 5% of the initial Guaranteed Amount called Maximum Annual Withdrawal amounts. With the single life option, you may receive Maximum Annual Withdrawal amounts for your lifetime. If you purchased the joint life option, Maximum Annual Withdrawal amounts for the lifetimes of you and your spouse are available. Withdrawals in excess of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount and any withdrawals prior to age 59½ (for the single life option) or age 65 (for the joint life option) may significantly reduce your Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount. Withdrawals will also negatively impact the availability of the 5% Enhancement, the 200% Step-up (if applicable to your contract) and Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage Plus. These options are discussed below in detail.

An additional option, Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage Plus, provides that on the seventh Benefit Year anniversary, provided you have not made any withdrawals, you may choose to cancel your Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage rider and receive an increase in your Contract Value of an amount equal to the excess of your initial Guaranteed Amount (and Purchase Payments plus applicable Bonus Credits made within 90 days of rider election) over your Contract Value. This option guarantees at least a return of your initial Purchase Payment after 7 years. Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage Plus must have been purchased with Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage. Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage Plus is discussed in detail below.

By purchasing the Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage rider, you will be limited in how you can invest in the Subaccounts in your contract. In addition, the fixed account is not available except for use with dollar cost averaging. See The Contracts – Investment Requirements – Option 3 if you purchased Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage on or after January 20, 2009. See The Contracts – Investment Requirements – Option 2 if you purchased Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage prior to January 20, 2009.

Lincoln Life offers other optional riders available for purchase with its variable annuity contracts. These riders provide different methods to take income from your Contract Value and may provide certain guarantees. These riders are fully discussed in this prospectus. There are differences between the riders in the features provided as well as the charge structure. In addition, the purchase of one rider

78

may impact the availability of another rider. Information about the relationship between Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage and these other riders is included later in this prospectus (see i4LIFE^® Advantage option). Not all riders will be available at all times.

We have designed the rider to protect you from outliving your Contract Value. If the rider terminates or you (and your spouse, if applicable) die before your Contract Value is reduced to zero, neither you nor your estate will receive any lifetime withdrawals from us under the rider. We limit your withdrawals to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount and impose Investment Requirements in order to minimize the risk that your Contract Value will be reduced to zero before your (or your spouse’s) death.

If the rider was elected at contract issue, then the rider was effective on the contract’s effective date. If the rider was elected after the contract was issued the rider became effective on the next Valuation Date following approval by us. You cannot simultaneously elect Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage with any other Living Benefit Rider.

Benefit Year. The Benefit Year is the 12-month period starting with the effective date of the rider and starting with each anniversary of the rider effective date after that.

Guaranteed Amount. The Guaranteed Amount is a value used to calculate your withdrawal benefit under this rider. The Guaranteed Amount is not available to you as a lump sum withdrawal or a Death Benefit. The initial Guaranteed Amount varies based on when you elect the rider. If you elected the rider at the time you purchased the contract, the initial Guaranteed Amount equals your initial Purchase Payment plus the amount of any Bonus Credit. If you elected the rider after we issued the contract, the initial Guaranteed Amount equals the Contract Value on the effective date of the rider. The maximum Guaranteed Amount is $10,000,000. This maximum takes into consideration the total guaranteed amounts under the Living Benefit Riders from all Lincoln Life contracts (or contracts issued by our affiliates) in which you (or spouse if joint life option) are the covered life.

Additional Purchase Payments and any Bonus Credits automatically increase the Guaranteed Amount by the amount of the Purchase Payment and any Bonus Credit (not to exceed the maximum Guaranteed Amount); for example, a $10,000 additional Purchase Payment (which receives a 3% Bonus Credit) will increase the Guaranteed Amount by $10,300. After the first anniversary of the rider effective date, once cumulative additional Purchase Payments exceed $100,000, additional Purchase Payments will be limited to $50,000 per Benefit Year without Home Office approval. If after the first Benefit Year cumulative additional Purchase Payments equal or exceed $100,000 the charge for Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage will change to the then current charge in effect on the next Benefit Year anniversary. The charge will never exceed the guaranteed maximum annual charge. See Charges and Other Deductions – Rider Charges – Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage Charge. Additional Purchase Payments will not be allowed if the Contract Value decreases to zero for any reason including market loss.

The following example demonstrates the impact of additional Purchase Payments on the Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage charge:

Initial Purchase Payment	$100,000
Additional Purchase Payment in Year 2	$95,000	No change to charge
Additional Purchase Payment in Year 3	$50,000	Charge will be the then current charge
Additional Purchase Payment in Year 4	$25,000	Charge will be the then current charge

Each withdrawal reduces the Guaranteed Amount as discussed below.

Since the charge for the rider is based on the Guaranteed Amount, the cost of the rider increases when additional Purchase Payments and any applicable Bonus Credit, Automatic Annual Step-ups, 5% Enhancements and the 200% Step-up (if applicable to your contract) are made, and the cost decreases as withdrawals are made because these transactions all adjust the Guaranteed Amount. In addition, the percentage charge may change when cumulative Purchase Payments exceed $100,000 and also when Automatic Annual Step-ups occur as discussed below. See Charges and Other Deductions – Rider Charges – Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage Charge.

5% Enhancement to the Guaranteed Amount. On each Benefit Year anniversary, the Guaranteed Amount, minus Purchase Payments and any applicable Bonus Credits received in the preceding Benefit Year, will be increased by 5% if the Contractowner/Annuitant (as well as the spouse if the joint life option is in effect) is under 86 and the rider is within the 10 year period described below. Additional Purchase Payments and any Bonus Credits must be invested in the contract at least one Benefit Year before the 5% Enhancement will be made on the portion of the Guaranteed Amount equal to that Purchase Payment and Bonus Credit. Any Purchase Payments and Bonus Credits made within the first 90 days after the effective date of the rider will be included in the Guaranteed Amount for purposes of receiving the 5% Enhancement on the first Benefit Year anniversary.

Note: The 5% Enhancement is not available in any Benefit Year there is a withdrawal from Contract Value including a Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount. A 5% Enhancement will occur in subsequent years after a withdrawal only under certain conditions. If you are eligible (as defined below) for the 5% Enhancement in the next year, the Enhancement will not occur until the Benefit Year anniversary of that year.

The following is an example of the impact of the 5% Enhancement on the Guaranteed Amount for a Design 1 contract:

79

Initial Purchase Payment = $100,000; Guaranteed Amount = $100,000

Additional Purchase Payment on day 30 = $15,000; Guaranteed Amount = $115,000

Additional Purchase Payment on day 95 = $10,000; Guaranteed Amount = $125,000

On the first Benefit Year anniversary, the Guaranteed Amount is $130,750 ($115,000 times 1.05%=$120,750 plus $10,000). The $10,000 Purchase Payment on day 95 is not eligible for the 5% Enhancement until the 2^nd Benefit Year anniversary.

The 5% Enhancement will be in effect for 10 years from the effective date of the rider. The 5% Enhancement will cease upon the death of the Contractowner/Annuitant or upon the death of the survivor of the Contractowner or spouse (if joint life option is in effect) or when the oldest of these individuals reaches age 86. A new 10-year period will begin each time an Automatic Annual Step-up to the Contract Value occurs as described below. As explained below, the 5% Enhancement and Automatic Annual Step-up will not occur in the same year. If the Automatic Annual Step-up provides a greater increase to the Guaranteed Amount, you will not receive the 5% Enhancement. The 5% Enhancement cannot increase the Guaranteed Amount above the maximum Guaranteed Amount of $10,000,000. For riders purchased prior to January 20, 2009, the 5% Enhancement will be in effect for 15 years from the effective date of the rider, and a new 15-year period will begin following each Automatic Annual Step-up.

Any withdrawal from the Contract Value limits the 5% Enhancement as follows:

a.

The 5% Enhancement will not occur on any Benefit Year anniversary in which there is a withdrawal, including a Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount, from the contract during that Benefit Year. The 5% Enhancement will occur on the following Benefit Year anniversary if no other withdrawals are made from the contract and the rider is within the 10-year period as long as the Contractowner/Annuitant (single life option) is 59½ or older or the Contractowner and spouse (joint life option) are age 65 or older.

b.

If the Contractowner/Annuitant (single life option) is under age 59½ or the Contractowner or spouse (joint life option) is under age 65, and a withdrawal is made from the contract, the 5% Enhancement will not occur again until an Automatic Annual Step-Up to the Contract Value (as described below) occurs.

An example of the impact of a withdrawal on the 5% Enhancement is included in the Withdrawals section below.

If your Guaranteed Amount is increased by the 5% Enhancement on the Benefit Year anniversary, your percentage charge for the rider will not change. However, the amount you pay for the rider will increase since the charge for the rider is based on the Guaranteed Amount. See Charges and Other Deductions – Rider Charges – Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage Charge.

Automatic Annual Step-ups of the Guaranteed Amount. The Guaranteed Amount will automatically step-up to the Contract Value on each Benefit Year anniversary if:

a.	the Contractowner/Annuitant (single life option), or the Contractowner and spouse (joint life option) are both still living and under age 86; and
b.	the Contract Value on that Benefit Year anniversary is greater than the Guaranteed Amount after the 5% Enhancement (if any) or 200% Step-up (if any, as described below).

Each time the Guaranteed Amount is stepped up to the current Contract Value as described above, your percentage charge for the rider will be the current charge for the rider, not to exceed the guaranteed maximum charge. Therefore, your percentage charge for this rider could increase every Benefit Year anniversary. See Charges and Other Deductions – Rider Charges – Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage Charge.

If your percentage rider charge is increased upon an Automatic Annual Step-up, you may opt out of the Automatic Annual Step-up by giving us notice within 30 days after the Benefit Year anniversary if you do not want your percentage charge for the rider to change. This opt out will only apply for this particular Automatic Annual Step-up. You will need to notify us each time the percentage charge increases if you do not want the Step-up. If you decline the Automatic Annual Step-up, you will receive the 200% Step-up (if you are eligible as described below) or the 5% Enhancement (if you are eligible as specified above); however, a new 10-year period for 5% Enhancements will not begin. You may not decline the Automatic Annual Step-up, if applicable, if your additional Purchase Payments would cause your charge to increase. See the earlier Guaranteed Amount section.

Following is an example of how the Automatic Annual Step-ups and the 5% Enhancement will work (assuming no withdrawals or additional Purchase Payments or Bonus Credits and issue age above 59½ (single life) or 65 (joint life)):

80

	Contract Value	Guaranteed Amount	Potential for Charge to Change	Length of 5% Enhancement Period
Initial Purchase Payment $50,000	$50,000	$50,000	No	10
1st Benefit Year anniversary	$54,000	$54,000	Yes	10
2nd Benefit Year anniversary	$53,900	$56,700	No	9
3rd Benefit Year anniversary	$57,000	$59,535	No	8
4th Benefit Year anniversary	$64,000	$64,000	Yes	10

On the 1^st Benefit Year anniversary, the Automatic Annual Step-up increased the Guaranteed Amount to the Contract Value of $54,000 since the increase in the Contract Value is greater than the 5% Enhancement amount of $2,500 (5% of $50,000). On the 2^nd Benefit Year anniversary, the 5% Enhancement provided a larger increase (5% of $54,000 = $2,700). On the 3^rd Benefit Year anniversary, the 5% Enhancement provided a larger increase (5% of $56,700 = $2,835). On the 4^th Benefit Year anniversary, the Automatic Annual Step-up to the Contract Value was greater than the 5% Enhancement amount of $2,977 (5% of $59,535) and a new 10-year Enhancement period began.

An Automatic Annual Step-up cannot increase the Guaranteed Amount beyond the maximum Guaranteed Amount of $10,000,000.

Step-up to 200% of the initial Guaranteed Amount. If you purchased Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage on or after October 5, 2009, the 200% Step-up will not be available. For Contractowners who purchased Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage on or after January 20, 2009 but before October 5, 2009, on the Benefit Year anniversary after you (single life) or the younger of you and your spouse (joint life) reach age 65, or the rider has been in effect for 10 years, whichever event is later, we will step-up your Guaranteed Amount to 200% of your initial Guaranteed Amount (plus any Purchase Payments including Bonus Credits made within 90 days of rider election), less any withdrawals, if this would increase your Guaranteed Amount to an amount higher than that provided by the 5% Enhancement or the Automatic Annual Step-up for that year, if applicable. (You will not also receive the 5% Enhancement or Automatic Annual Step-up if the 200% Step-up applies.) This Step-up will not occur if:

1.	any withdrawal was made prior to age 59½ (single life) or age 65 (joint life);
2.	an Excess Withdrawal (defined below) has occurred; or
3.	cumulative withdrawals totaling more than 10% of the initial Guaranteed Amount (plus Purchase Payments and any applicable Bonus Credit within 90 days of rider election) have been made (even if these withdrawals were within the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount).

For example, assume the initial Guaranteed Amount is $200,000. A $10,000 Maximum Annual Withdrawal was made at age 65 and at age 66. If one more $10,000 Maximum Annual Withdrawal was made at age 67, the Step-up would not be available since withdrawals cannot exceed $20,000 (10% of $200,000).

If you purchased Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage prior to January 20, 2009, you will not be eligible to receive the 200% Step-up of the Guaranteed Amount until the Benefit Year anniversary after you (single life) or the younger of you and your spouse (joint life) reach age 70, or the rider has been in effect for 10 years, whichever event is later.

This Step-up is only available one time and it will not occur if, on the applicable Benefit Year anniversary, your Guaranteed Amount exceeds 200% of your initial Guaranteed Amount (plus Purchase Payments within 90 days of rider election). Required minimum distributions (RMDs) from qualified contracts may adversely impact this benefit because you may have to withdraw more than 10% of your initial Guaranteed Amount. See the terms governing RMDs in the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount section below.

This Step-up will not cause a change to the percentage charge for your rider. However, the amount you pay for the rider will increase since the charge is based on the Guaranteed Amount. See Charges and Other Deductions – Rider Charges – Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage Charge.

The following example demonstrates the impact of this Step-up on the Guaranteed Amount:

Initial Purchase Payment at age 55 = $200,000; Guaranteed Amount = $200,000; Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount = $10,000.

After 10 years, at age 65, the Guaranteed Amount is $272,339 (after applicable 5% Enhancements and two $10,000 Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amounts) and the Contract Value is $250,000. Since the Guaranteed Amount is less than $360,000 ($200,000 initial Guaranteed Amount reduced by the two $10,000 withdrawals times 200%), the Guaranteed Amount is increased to $360,000.

The 200% Step-up (if applicable to your contract) cannot increase the Guaranteed Amount beyond the maximum Guaranteed Amount of $10,000,000.

Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount. You may make periodic withdrawals up to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount each Benefit Year for your (Contractowner) lifetime (single life option) or the lifetimes of you and your spouse (joint life option) as long as you are at least age 59½ (single life option) or you and your spouse are both at least age 65 (joint life option) and your Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount is greater than zero.

81

On the effective date of the rider, the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount is equal to 5% of the initial Guaranteed Amount. If you do not withdraw the entire Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount during a Benefit Year, there is no carryover of the extra amount into the next Benefit Year.

If your Contract Value is reduced to zero because of market performance, withdrawals equal to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount will continue automatically for your life (and your spouse if applicable under joint life option) under the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount Annuity Payment Option (discussed later). You may not withdraw the remaining Guaranteed Amount in a lump sum.

Note: if any withdrawal is made, the 5% Enhancement is not available during that Benefit Year and Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage Plus is not available (see below). Withdrawals may also negatively impact the 200% Step-up (see above).

The tax consequences of withdrawals are discussed in Federal Tax Matters section of this prospectus.

All withdrawals you make, whether or not within the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount, will decrease your Contract Value.

The Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount will be doubled, called the Nursing Home Enhancement, during a Benefit Year when the Contractowner/Annuitant is age 59½ or older or the Contractowner and spouse (joint life option), are both age 65 or older, and one is admitted into an accredited nursing home or equivalent health care facility. The Nursing Home Enhancement applies if the admittance into such facility occurs 60 months or more after the effective date of the rider (36 months or more for Contractowners who purchased this rider prior to January 20, 2009), the individual was not in the nursing home in the year prior to the effective date of the rider, and upon entering the nursing home, the person has been then confined for at least 90 consecutive days. Proof of nursing home confinement will be required each year. If you leave the nursing home, your Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount will be reduced by 50% starting after the next Benefit Year anniversary.

The requirements of an accredited nursing home or equivalent health care facility are set forth in the Nursing Home Enhancement Claim Form. The criteria for the facility include, but are not limited to: providing 24 hour a day nursing services; an available physician; an employed nurse on duty or call at all times; maintains daily clinical records; and able to dispense medications. This does not include an assisted living or similar facility. For riders purchased on or after January 20, 2009, the admittance to a nursing home must be pursuant to a plan of care provided by a licensed health care practitioner, and the nursing home must be located in the United States.

The remaining references to the 5% Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount also include the Nursing Home Enhancement Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount.

The Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount is increased by 5% of any additional Purchase Payments and Bonus Credits. For example, if the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount of $2,575 (5% of $51,500 Guaranteed Amount) is in effect and an additional Purchase Payment of $10,000 is made (which receives a 3% Bonus Credit), the new Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount is $3,090 ($2,575 + 5% of $10,300).

5% Enhancements, Automatic Annual Step-ups and the 200% Step-up (if applicable to your contract) will cause a recalculation of the eligible Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount to the greater of:

a.	the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount immediately prior to the 5% Enhancement, Automatic Annual Step-up or 200% Step-up; or
b.	5% of the Guaranteed Amount on the Benefit Year anniversary.

See the chart below for examples of the recalculation.

The Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount from both Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage and Lincoln SmartSecurity^® Advantage under all Lincoln Life contracts (or contracts issued by our affiliates) applicable to you (or your spouse if joint life option) can never exceed 5% of the maximum Guaranteed Amount.

Withdrawals after age 59½ (Single Life Option) or age 65 (Joint Life Option). If the cumulative amounts withdrawn from the contract during the Benefit Year (including the current withdrawal) after age 59½ (single life) or age 65 (joint life) are within the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount, then:

1.	the withdrawal will reduce the Guaranteed Amount by the amount of the withdrawal on a dollar-for-dollar basis, and
2.	the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount will remain the same.

The impact of withdrawals prior to age 59½ or age 65 will be discussed later in this section. The following example illustrates the impact of Maximum Annual Withdrawals on the Guaranteed Amount and the recalculation of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount (assuming no additional Purchase Payments or Bonus Credits and the Contractowner (single life) is older than 59½ and the Contractowner and spouse (joint life) are both older than 65):

82

	Contract Value	Guaranteed Amount	Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount
Initial Purchase Payment $50,000	$50,000	$50,000	$2,500
1st Benefit Year anniversary	$54,000	$54,000	$2,700
2nd Benefit Year anniversary	$51,000	$51,300	$2,700
3rd Benefit Year anniversary	$57,000	$57,000	$2,850
4th Benefit Year anniversary	$64,000	$64,000	$3,200

The initial Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount is equal to 5% of the Guaranteed Amount. Since withdrawals occurred each year (even withdrawals within the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount), the 5% Enhancement of the Guaranteed Amount was not available. However, each year the Automatic Annual Step-up occurred (1^st, 3^rd and 4^th anniversaries), the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount was recalculated to 5% of the current Guaranteed Amount.

Withdrawals within the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount are not subject to surrender charges. Withdrawals from Individual Retirement Annuity contracts will be treated as within the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount (even if they exceed the 5% Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount) only if the withdrawals are taken in systematic installments of the amount needed to satisfy the RMD rules under Internal Revenue Code Section 401(a)(9). In addition, in order for this exception for RMDs to apply, the following must occur:

1.	Lincoln’s automatic withdrawal service is used to calculate and pay the RMD;
2.	The RMD calculation must be based only on the value in this contract; and
3.	No withdrawals other than RMDs are made within that Benefit Year (except as described in next paragraph).

If your RMD withdrawals during a Benefit Year are less than the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount, an additional amount up to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount may be withdrawn and will not be subject to surrender charges. If a withdrawal, other than an RMD is made during the Benefit Year, then all amounts withdrawn in excess of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount, including amounts attributed to RMDs, will be treated as Excess Withdrawals (see below).

Distributions from qualified contracts are generally taxed as ordinary income. In nonqualified contracts, withdrawals of Contract Value that exceed Purchase Payments are taxed as ordinary income. See Federal Tax Matters.

Excess Withdrawals. Excess Withdrawals are the cumulative amounts withdrawn from the contract during the Benefit Year (including the current withdrawal) that exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount. When Excess Withdrawals occur:

1. The Guaranteed Amount is reduced by the same proportion that the Excess Withdrawal reduces the Contract Value. This means that the reduction in the Guaranteed Amount could be more than a dollar-for-dollar reduction.

2. The Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount will be immediately recalculated to 5% of the new (reduced) Guaranteed Amount (after the proportionate reduction for the Excess Withdrawal); and

3. The 200% Step-up will never occur.

The following example demonstrates the impact of an Excess Withdrawal on the Guaranteed Amount and the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount. A $12,000 withdrawal caused a $15,182 reduction in the Guaranteed Amount.

Prior to Excess Withdrawal:
Contract Value = $60,000
Guaranteed Amount = $85,000
Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount = $5,000 (5% of the initial Guaranteed Amount of $100,000)

After a $12,000 Withdrawal ($5,000 is within the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount, $7,000 is the Excess Withdrawal):

The Contract Value and Guaranteed Amount are reduced dollar for dollar for the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount of $5,000:

Contract Value = $55,000
Guaranteed Amount = $80,000

The Contract Value is reduced by the $7,000 Excess Withdrawal and the Guaranteed Amount is reduced by 12.73%, the same proportion that the Excess Withdrawal reduced the $55,000 Contract Value ($7,000 / $55,000)

Contract Value = $48,000

Guaranteed Amount = $69,818 ($80,000 X 12.73% = $10,182; $80,000 - $10,182 = $69,818)
Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount = $3,491.00 (5% of $69,818)

83

In a declining market, withdrawals that exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount may substantially deplete or eliminate your Guaranteed Amount and reduce or deplete your Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount. This is because the reduction in the benefit may be more than the dollar amount withdrawn from the Contract Value.

The portion of Excess Withdrawals attributed to Purchase Payments (and not Bonus Credits) will be subject to surrender charges unless one of the waiver of surrender charge provisions set forth in your prospectus is applicable. Continuing with the prior example of the $12,000 withdrawal: the $5,000 Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount is not subject to surrender charges; the $7,000 Excess Withdrawal may be subject to surrender charges. See Charges and Deductions – Surrender Charges. Withdrawals attributed to Bonus Credits are not subject to surrender charges.

Withdrawals before age 59½/65. If any withdrawal is made prior to the time the Contractowner is age 59½ (single life) or the Contractowner and spouse (joint life) are both age 65, including withdrawals equal to Maximum Annual Withdrawal amounts, the following will occur:

1.	The Guaranteed Amount will be reduced in the same proportion that the entire withdrawal reduced the Contract Value (this means that the reduction in the Guaranteed Amount could be more than a dollar-for-dollar reduction);
2.	The Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount will be immediately recalculated to 5% of the new (reduced) Guaranteed Amount;
3.	The 5% Enhancement to the Guaranteed Amount is not available until after an Automatic Annual Step-up to the Contract Value occurs. This Automatic Annual Step-up will not occur until the Contract Value exceeds the Guaranteed Amount on a Benefit Year anniversary (see the 5% Enhancement section above); and
4.	The 200% Step-up will never occur.

The following is an example of the impact of a withdrawal prior to age 59½ for single or age 65 for joint:

• $100,000 Purchase Payment

• $100,000 Guaranteed Amount

• A 10% market decline results in a Contract Value of $90,000

• $5,000 Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount

If a $5,000 withdrawal is made before age 59½, the Guaranteed Amount will be $94,444 ($100,000 reduced by 5.56% ($5,000/$90,000) and the new Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount is $4,722 (5% times $94,444). Surrender charges will apply unless one of the waiver of surrender charge provisions is applicable. See Charges and Other Deductions - Surrender Charge.

In a declining market, withdrawals prior to age 59½ (or 65 if Joint Life) may substantially deplete or eliminate your Guaranteed Amount and reduce or deplete your Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount.

Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage Plus. The Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage Plus rider is no longer available. If you have purchased Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage Plus (“Plus Option”), on the seventh Benefit Year anniversary, you may elect to receive an increase in your Contract Value equal to the excess of your initial Guaranteed Amount (plus any Purchase Payments and any applicable Bonus Credit made within 90 days of the rider effective date), over your current Contract Value. Making this election will terminate the Plus Option as well as Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage and the total charge for this rider and you will have no further rights to Maximum Annual Withdrawal amounts or any other benefits under this rider. You have 30 days after the seventh Benefit Year anniversary to make this election, but you will receive no more than the difference between the Contract Value and the initial Guaranteed Amount (plus any Purchase Payments within 90 days of the rider effective date) on the seventh Benefit Year anniversary. If you choose to surrender your contract at this time, any applicable surrender charges will apply.

You may not elect to receive an increase in Contract Value if any withdrawal is made, including Maximum Annual Withdrawal amounts or RMDs, prior to the seventh Benefit Year anniversary. If you make a withdrawal prior to the seventh Benefit Year anniversary, the charge for this Plus Option (in addition to the Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage charge) will continue until the seventh Benefit Year anniversary. After the seventh Benefit Year anniversary, the 0.15% charge for the Plus Option will be removed from your contract and the charge for your Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage will continue.

If you do not elect to exercise the Plus Option, after the seventh Benefit Year anniversary, your Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage and its charge will continue and the Plus Option 0.15% charge will be removed from your contract.

The following example illustrates the Plus Option elected on a Design 1 contract upon the seventh Benefit Year anniversary:

Initial Purchase Payment of $100,000; Initial Guaranteed Amount of $100,000.

On the seventh Benefit Year anniversary, if the current Contract Value is $90,000; the Contractowner may choose to have $10,000 placed in the contract and the Plus Option (including the right to continue Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage) will terminate at that time.

If you purchased the Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage Plus option, you have limited investment options until the seventh Benefit Year anniversary as set forth in the Investment Requirements section of this prospectus. After the seventh Benefit Year anniversary, if

84

your contract continues, you may invest in other Subaccounts in your contract, subject to the Investment Requirements applicable to your purchase date of Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage.

Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount Annuity Payout Option. If you are required to annuitize your Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount because you have reached the maturity date of the contract, the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount Annuity Payout Option is available.

The Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount Annuity Payout Option is a fixed annuitization in which the Contractowner (and spouse if applicable) will receive annual annuity payments equal to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount for life (this option is different from other annuity payment options discussed in your prospectus, including i4LIFE^® Advantage, which are based on your Contract Value). Payment frequencies other than annual may be available. You will have no other contract features other than the right to receive annuity payments equal to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount (including the Nursing Home Enhancement if you qualify) for your life or the life of you and your spouse for the joint life option.

If the Contract Value is zero and you have a remaining Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount, you will receive the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount Annuity Payment Option.

If you are receiving the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount Annuity Payout Option, your Beneficiary may be eligible for a final payment upon death of the single life or surviving joint life. To be eligible the Death Benefit option in effect immediately prior to the exercise of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount Annuity Payout Option must not be the Account Value Death Benefit.

The final payment is equal to the sum of all Purchase Payments, decreased by withdrawals in the same proportion as the withdrawals reduce the Contract Value; withdrawals less than or equal to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount and payments under the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Annuity Payout Option will reduce the sum of the Purchase Payments dollar for dollar. If your Death Benefit option in effect immediately prior to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount Annuity Payout Option provided for deduction for withdrawals on a dollar for dollar basis, then any withdrawals that occurred prior to the election of Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage will reduce the sum of all Purchase Payments on a dollar for dollar basis.

Death Prior to the Annuity Commencement Date. Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage has no provision for a payout of the Guaranteed Amount or any other Death Benefit upon death of the Contractowners or Annuitant. At the time of death, if the Contract Value equals zero, no Death Benefit options (as described in the Death Benefit section of this prospectus) will be in effect. Election of Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage does not impact the Death Benefit options available for purchase with your annuity contract except as described below in Impact to Withdrawal Calculations of Death Benefits before the Annuity Commencement Date. All Death Benefit payments must be made in compliance with Internal Revenue Code Sections 72(s) or 401(a)(9) as applicable as amended from time to time. See The Contracts – Death Benefit.

Upon the death of the single life, Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage will end and no further Maximum Annual Withdrawal amounts are available (even if there was a Guaranteed Amount in effect at the time of the death). Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage Plus will also terminate, if in effect. If the Beneficiary elects to continue the contract after the death of the single life (through a separate provision of the contract), the Beneficiary may purchase a new Living Benefit Rider if available under the terms and charge in effect at the time of the new purchase. There is no carryover of the Guaranteed Amount.

Upon the first death under the joint life option, the lifetime payout of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount will continue for the life of the surviving spouse. The 5% Enhancement, 200% Step-up, Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage Plus and Automatic Annual Step-up will continue if applicable as discussed above. Upon the death of the surviving spouse, Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage will end and no further Maximum Annual Withdrawal amounts are available (even if there was a Guaranteed Amount in effect at the time of the death). Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage Plus will also terminate, if in effect.

As an alternative, after the first death, the surviving spouse may choose to terminate the joint life option and purchase a new single life option, if available, under the terms and charge in effect at the time for a new purchase. The surviving spouse must be under age 65. In deciding whether to make this change, the surviving spouse should consider: 1) if the change will cause the Guaranteed Amount and the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount to decrease and 2) if the single life rider option for new issues will provide an earlier age (59½) to receive Maximum Annual Withdrawal amounts.

Impact of Divorce on Joint Life Option. In the event of a divorce, the Contractowner may terminate the joint life option and purchase a single life option, if available, (if the Contractowner is under age 65) at the current rider charge and the terms in effect for new sales of the single life option.

After a divorce, the Contractowner may keep the joint life option to have the opportunity to receive lifetime payouts for the lives of the Contractowner and a new spouse. This is only available if no withdrawals were made from the contract after the effective date of the rider up to and including the date the new spouse is added to the rider.

Termination. After the seventh anniversary of the effective date of the rider, the Contractowner may terminate the rider by notifying us in writing. Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage will automatically terminate:

• Upon exercise of the Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage Plus option to receive an increase in the Contract Value equal to the excess of your initial Guaranteed Amount over the Contract Value;

85

• on the Annuity Commencement Date (except payments under the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount Annuity Payment Option will continue if applicable);

• upon the death under the single life option or the death of the surviving spouse under the joint life option;

• when the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount is reduced to zero; or

• upon termination of the underlying annuity contract.

The termination will not result in any increase in Contract Value equal to the Guaranteed Amount. Upon effective termination of this rider, the benefits and charges within this rider will terminate.

If you terminate the rider, you must wait one year before you can elect any Living Benefit Rider available for purchase at that time. If you have electedto receive an increase in your Contract Value under Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage Plus (after the seventh Benefit Year), you may elect a new Living Benefit Rider at any time. The Lincoln Long-Term Care^SM Advantage rider cannot be elected after the contract is purchased.

i4LIFE^® Advantage Option. i4LIFE^® Advantage is an Annuity Payout option, available for purchase at an additional charge, that provides periodic Regular Income Payments for life, the ability to make withdrawals during a defined period of time (the Access Period) and a Death Benefit during the Access Period. A minimum payout floor, called the Guaranteed Income Benefit, is also available for purchase at the time you elect i4LIFE^® Advantage. Depending on a person's age and the selected length of the Access Period, i4LIFE^® Advantage may provide a higher payout than the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amounts under Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage. You cannot have both i4LIFE^®Advantage and Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage in effect on your contract at the same time.

Contractowners with an active Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage may decide to terminate Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage and purchase i4LIFE^® Advantage since i4LIFE^® Advantage provides a different income stream. If this decision is made, the Contractowner can use any remaining Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage Guaranteed Amount to establish the Guaranteed Income Benefit under the i4LIFE^® Advantage. Owners of the Lincoln Lifetime Income^SMAdvantage rider are guaranteed the ability to purchase i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit in the future even if it is no longer generally available for purchase. Owners of Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage are also guaranteed that the annuity factors that are used to calculate the initial Guaranteed Income Benefit under i4LIFE^® Advantage will be the annuity factors in effect as of the day they purchased Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage. In addition, owners of Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage may in the future purchasethe Guaranteed Income Benefit at or below the guaranteed maximum charge that is in effect on the date that they purchase Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage.

i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit for Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage purchasers must be elected before the Annuity Commencement Date and by age 99 for nonqualified contracts or age 85 for qualified contracts. See i4LIFE^® Advantage and the Guaranteed Income Benefit sections of this prospectus. The charges for these benefits will be the current charge for new purchasers in effect for the i4LIFE^® Advantage and the current Guaranteed Income Benefit charge in effect for prior purchasers of Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage at the time of election of these benefits. If you use your Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage Guaranteed Amount to establish the Guaranteed Income Benefit, you must keep i4LIFE^® Advantage and the Guaranteed Income Benefit in effect for at least 3 years.

Below is an example of how the Guaranteed Amount from Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage is used to establish the Guaranteed Income Benefit with i4LIFE^® Advantage.

Prior to i4LIFE^® Advantage election:

Contract Value = $100,000

Guaranteed Amount = $150,000

After i4LIFE^®Advantage election:

Regular Income Payment = $6,700 per year = Contract Value divided by the i4LIFE^® Advantage annuity factor

Guaranteed Income Benefit = $7,537.50 per year = Guaranteed Amount divided by Guaranteed Income Benefit Table factor applicable to owners of the Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage rider.

Impact to Withdrawal Calculations of Death Benefits before the Annuity Commencement Date. The Death Benefit calculation for certain Death Benefit options in effect prior to the Annuity Commencement Date may change for Contractowners with an active Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage. Certain Death Benefit options provide that all withdrawals reduce the Death Benefit in the same proportion that the withdrawals reduce the Contract Value. If you elect Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage, withdrawals less than or equal to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount, after age 59½ for the single life option or age 65 for joint life option, will reduce the sum of all Purchase Payments option of the Death Benefit on a dollar for dollar basis. This applies to the Guarantee of Principal Death Benefit, and only the sum of all Purchase Payments alternative of the Enhanced Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit or the Estate Enhancement Benefit, whichever is in effect. See The Contracts – Death Benefits. Any Excess Withdrawals and all withdrawals prior to age 59½ for single life or age 65 for joint life will reduce the sum of all Purchase Payments in the same proportion that the withdrawals reduced the Contract Value under any Death Benefit option in which proportionate withdrawals are in effect. This change

86

has no impact on Death Benefit options in which all withdrawals reduce the Death Benefit calculation on a dollar for dollar basis. The terms of your contract will describe which method is in effect for your contract.

The following example demonstrates how a withdrawal will reduce the Death Benefit if both the Enhanced Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit (EGMDB) and Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage are in effect when the Contractowner dies. Note that this calculation applies only to the sum of all Purchase Payments calculation and not for purposes of reducing the highest anniversary Contract Value under the EGMDB:

Contract Value before withdrawal $80,000

Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount $5,000

Enhanced Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit (EGMDB) values before withdrawal is the greatest of a), b), or c) described in detail in the EGMDB section of this prospectus:

a)	Contract Value $80,000
b)	Sum of Purchase Payments $100,000
c)	Highest anniversary Contract Value $150,000

Withdrawal of $9,000 will impact the Death Benefit calculations as follows:

a) $80,000 - $9,000 = $71,000 (Reduction $9,000)

b)	$100,000 - $5,000 = $95,000 (dollar for dollar reduction of Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount) $95,000 - $5,067 = $89,933 [$95,000 times ($4,000/$75,000) = $5,067] Proportionately reduction of Excess Withdrawal. Total reduction = $10,067.
c)	$150,000 - $16,875 = $133,125 [$150,000 times $9,000/$80,000 = $16,875] The entire $9,000 withdrawal reduces the Death Benefit option proportionately. Total reduction = $16,875.

Item c) provides the largest Death Benefit of $133,125.

Lincoln SmartSecurity^® Advantage

The Lincoln SmartSecurity^® Advantage rider is no longer available for purchase. This benefit provides a minimum guaranteed amount (Guaranteed Amount) that you will be able to withdraw, in installments, from your contract. The Guaranteed Amount is equal to the initial Purchase Payment plus the amount of any Bonus Credit applicable to that Purchase Payment (or Contract Value if elected after contract issue) adjusted for subsequent Purchase Payments, any Bonus Credits, step-ups and withdrawals in accordance with the provisions set forth below. There are two options that step-up the Guaranteed Amount to a higher level (the Contract Value at the time of the step-up):

Lincoln SmartSecurity^® Advantage – 5 Year Elective Step-up or

Lincoln SmartSecurity^® Advantage – 1 Year Automatic Step-up

Under the Lincoln SmartSecurity^® Advantage – 5 Year Elective Step-up, the Contractowner has the option to step-up the Guaranteed Amount after five years. With the Lincoln SmartSecurity^® Advantage – 1 Year Automatic Step-up option, the Guaranteed Amount will automatically step-up to the Contract Value, if higher, on each Benefit Year anniversary through the 10^th anniversary. With the Lincoln SmartSecurity^® Advantage – 1 Year Automatic Step-up, the Contractowner can also initiate additional 10-year periods of automatic step-ups.

You may access this Guaranteed Amount through periodic withdrawals which are based on a percentage of the Guaranteed Amount. With the Lincoln SmartSecurity^® Advantage – 1 Year Automatic Step-up single life or joint life options, you also have the option to receive periodic withdrawals for your lifetime or for the lifetimes of you and your spouse. These options are discussed below in detail.

If you purchased this rider, you are limited in how much you can invest in certain Subaccounts. See The Contracts – Investment Requirements.

Benefit Year. The Benefit Year is the 12-month period starting with the effective date of the rider and starting with each anniversary of the rider effective date after that. If the Contractowner elects to step-up the Guaranteed Amount (this does not include automatic annual step-ups within a 10-year period), the Benefit Year will begin on the effective date of the step-up and each anniversary of the effective date of the step-up after that. The step-up will be effective on the next Valuation Date after notice of the step-up is approved by us.

Guaranteed Amount. The Guaranteed Amount is a value used to calculate your withdrawal benefit under this rider. The Guaranteed Amount is not available to you as a lump sum withdrawal or a Death Benefit. The initial Guaranteed Amount varies based on when and how you elect the benefit. If you elected the benefit at the time you purchased the contract, the Guaranteed Amount equals your initial Purchase Paymentplus the amount of any Bonus Credit. The Bonus Credit is an additional amount credited to the Design 3 contract

87

and is equal to a percentage of the Purchase Payment. If you elected the benefit after we issued the contract, the Guaranteed Amount equals the Contract Value on the effective date of the rider. The maximum Guaranteed Amount is $5,000,000 under Lincoln SmartSecurity^® Advantage – 5 Year Elective Step-up option and $10,000,000 for Lincoln SmartSecurity^® Advantage – 1 Year Automatic Step-up option. This maximum takes into consideration the combined guaranteed amounts under the Living Benefit Riders of all Lincoln Life contracts (or contracts issued by our affiliates) owned by you (or on which you or your spouse, if joint owner, are the Annuitant).

Additional Purchase Payments and Bonus Credits automatically increase the Guaranteed Amount by the amount of the Purchase Payment and Bonus Credit (not to exceed the maximum); for example, a $10,000 additional Purchase Payment (which receives a 3% Bonus Credit) will increase the Guaranteed Amount by $10,300. After the first anniversary of the rider effective date, once cumulative additional Purchase Payments exceed $100,000, additional Purchase Payments will be limited to $50,000 per Benefit Year without Home Office approval. Additional Purchase Payments will not be allowed if the Contract Value is zero.

Each withdrawal reduces the Guaranteed Amount as discussed below.

Since the charge for the rider is based on the Guaranteed Amount, the cost of the rider increases when additional Purchase Payments plus Bonus Credits and step-ups are made, and the cost decreases as withdrawals are made because these transactions all adjust the Guaranteed Amount.

Step-ups of the Guaranteed Amount. Under the Lincoln SmartSecurity^® Advantage – 1 Year Automatic Step-up option, the Guaranteed Amount will automatically step-up to the Contract Value on each Benefit Year anniversary up to and including the 10^th Benefit Year if:

a.	the Contractowner or joint owner is still living; and
b.	the Contract Value as of the Valuation Date, after the deduction of any withdrawals (including surrender charges andother deductions), the rider charge and account fee plus any Purchase Payments and any Bonus Credits made on that date is greater than the Guaranteed Amount immediately preceding the Valuation Date.

After the 10^th Benefit Year anniversary, you may initiate another 10-year period of automatic step-ups by electing (in writing) to step-up the Guaranteed Amount to the greater of the Contract Value or the current Guaranteed Amount if:

a.	each Contractowner and Annuitant is under age 81; and
b.	the Contractowner or joint owner is still living.

If you choose, we will administer this election for you automatically, so that a new 10-year period of step-ups will begin at the end of each prior 10-year step-up period.

Following is an example of how the step-ups work in the Lincoln SmartSecurity^® Advantage – 1 Year Automatic Step-up option, (assuming no withdrawals or additional Purchase Payments or Bonus Credits):

	Contract Value	Guaranteed Amount
Initial Purchase Payment $50,000	$50,000	$50,000
1st Benefit Year anniversary	$54,000	$54,000
2nd Benefit Year anniversary	$53,900	$54,000
3rd Benefit Year anniversary	$57,000	$57,000

Annual step-ups, if the conditions are met, will continue until (and including) the 10^th Benefit Year anniversary. If you had elected to have the next 10-year period of step-ups begin automatically after the prior 10-year period, annual step-ups, if conditions are met, will continue beginning on the 11^th Benefit Year anniversary.

Under the Lincoln SmartSecurity^® Advantage – 5 Year Elective Step-up option, after the fifth anniversary of the rider, you may elect (in writing) to step-up the Guaranteed Amount to an amount equal to the Contract Value on the effective date of the step-up. Additional step-ups are permitted, but you must wait at least 5 years between each step-up.

Under both the Lincoln SmartSecurity^® Advantage – 5 Year Elective Step-up and the Lincoln SmartSecurity^® Advantage – 1 Year Automatic Step-up options, Contractowner elected step-ups (other than automatic step-ups) will be effective on the next Valuation Date after we receive your request and a new Benefit Year will begin. Purchase Payments, any Bonus Credits and withdrawals made after a step-up adjust the Guaranteed Amount. In the future, we may limit your right to step-up the Guaranteed Amount to your Benefit Year anniversary dates. All step-ups are subject to the maximum Guaranteed Amount.

A Contractowner elected step-up (including Contractowner step-ups that we administer for you to begin a new 10-year step-up period) may cause a change in the percentage charge for this benefit. There is no change in the percentage charge when automatic, annual step-ups occur during a 10-year period. See Charges and Other Deductions – Rider Charges – Lincoln SmartSecurity^® Advantage Charge.

88

Withdrawals. You will have access to your Guaranteed Amount through periodic withdrawals up to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount each Benefit Year until the Guaranteed Amount equals zero.

On the effective date of the rider, the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount is:

• 7% of the Guaranteed Amount under the Lincoln SmartSecurity^® Advantage – 5 Year Elective Step-up option and

• 5% of the Guaranteed Amount under the Lincoln SmartSecurity^® Advantage – 1 Year Automatic Step-up option.

If you do not withdraw the entire Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount during a Benefit Year, there is no carryover of the extra amount into the next Benefit Year. The Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount is increased by 7% or 5% (depending on your option) of any additional Purchase Payments and any Bonus Credits. For example, if the Lincoln SmartSecurity^® Advantage – 1 Year Automatic Step-up option with a Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount of $2,500 (5% of $50,000 Guaranteed Amount) is in effect and an additional Purchase Payment of $10,000 is made (which receives a 3% Bonus Credit if Design 3 is purchased) the new Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount is $3,090 ($2,575 + 5% of $10,300). Step-ups of the Guaranteed Amount (both automatic step-ups and step-ups elected by you) will step-up the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount to the greater of:

a.	the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount immediately prior to the step-up; or
b.	7% or 5% (depending on your option) of the new (stepped-up) Guaranteed Amount.

If the cumulative amounts withdrawn from the contract during the Benefit Year (including the current withdrawal) are within the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount, then:

1.	the withdrawal will reduce the Guaranteed Amount by the amount of the withdrawal on a dollar-for-dollar basis, and
2.	the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount will remain the same.

Withdrawals within the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount are not subject to surrender charges or the Interest Adjustment on the amount withdrawn from the fixed account if applicable. See The Contracts - Fixed Side of the Contract. If the Lincoln SmartSecurity^® Advantage – 1 Year Automatic Step-up option is in effect, withdrawals from IRA contracts will be treated as within the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount (even if they exceed the 5% Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount) only if the withdrawals are taken in the form of systematic installments, as calculated by Lincoln, of the amount needed to satisfy the required minimum distribution rules under Internal Revenue Code Section 401(a)(9) for this Contract Value. Distributions from qualified contracts are generally taxed as ordinary income. In nonqualified contracts, withdrawals of Contract Value that exceed Purchase Payments are taxed as ordinary income. See Federal Tax Matters.

When cumulative amounts withdrawn from the contract during the Benefit Year (including the current withdrawal) exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount:

1. The Guaranteed Amount is reduced to the lesser of:

• the Contract Value immediately following the withdrawal, or

• the Guaranteed Amount immediately prior to the withdrawal, less the amount of the withdrawal.

2. The Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount will be the lesser of:

• the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount immediately prior to the withdrawal; or

• the greater of:

• 7% or 5% (depending on your option) of the reduced Guaranteed Amount immediately following the withdrawal (as specified above when withdrawals exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount); or

• 7% or 5% (depending on your option) of the Contract Value immediately following the withdrawal; or

• the new Guaranteed Amount.

The following example of the Lincoln SmartSecurity^® Advantage – 1 Year Automatic Step-up option demonstrates the impact of a withdrawal in excess of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount on the Guaranteed Amount and the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount. A $7,000 Excess Withdrawal caused a $32,000 reduction in the Guaranteed Amount.

Prior to Excess Withdrawal:
Contract Value = $60,000
Guaranteed Amount = $85,000
Maximum Annual Withdrawal = $5,000 (5% of the initial Guaranteed Amount of $100,000)

After a $7,000 Withdrawal:
Contract Value = $53,000
Guaranteed Amount = $53,000
Maximum Annual Withdrawal = $2,650

The Guaranteed Amount was reduced to the lesser of the Contract Value immediately following the withdrawal ($53,000) or the Guaranteed Amount immediately prior to the withdrawal, less the amount of the withdrawal ($85,000 - $7,000 = $78,000).

89

The Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount was reduced to the lesser of:

1.	Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount prior to the withdrawal ($5,000); or
2.	The greater of 5% of the new Guaranteed Amount ($2,650) or 5% of the Contract Value following the withdrawal ($2,650); or

3. The new Guaranteed Amount ($53,000).

The lesser of these three items is $2,650.

In a declining market, withdrawals that exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount may substantially deplete or eliminate your Guaranteed Amount and reduce your Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount.

Under the Lincoln SmartSecurity^® Advantage – 5 Year Elective Step-up option for IRA contracts, the annual amount available for withdrawal within the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount may not be sufficient to satisfy your required minimum distributions under the Internal Revenue Code. This is particularly true for individuals over age 84. Therefore, you may have to make withdrawals that exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount. Withdrawals over the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount may quickly and substantially decrease your Guaranteed Amount and Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount, especially in a declining market. You should consult your tax advisor to determine if there are ways to limit the risks associated with those withdrawals. Such methods may involve the timing of withdrawals or foregoing step-ups of the Guaranteed Amount.

Withdrawals in excess of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount will be subject to surrender charges and an Interest Adjustment on the amount withdrawn from the fixed account. Refer to the Statement of Additional Information for an example of the Interest Adjustment calculation.

Lifetime Withdrawals. (Available only with the Lincoln SmartSecurity^® Advantage – 1 Year Automatic Step-up single or joint life options and not the Lincoln SmartSecurity^® Advantage – 5 Year Elective Step-up option or the prior version of the Lincoln SmartSecurity^® Advantage – 1 Year Automatic Step-up option). Payment of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount will be guaranteed for your (Contractowner) lifetime (single life option) or for the lifetimes of you (Contractowner) and your spouse (joint life option), as long as:

1.	No withdrawals are made before you (and your spouse if a joint life) are age 65; and
2.	An Excess Withdrawal (described above) has not reduced the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount to zero.

If the lifetime withdrawal is not in effect, the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount will last only until the Guaranteed Amount equals zero.

If any withdrawal is made prior to the time you (or both spouses) are age 65, the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount will not last for the lifetime(s), except in the two situations described below:

1.

If a step-up of the Guaranteed Amount after age 65 causes the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount to equal or increase from the immediately prior Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount. This typically occurs if the Contract Value equals or exceeds the highest, prior Guaranteed Amount. If this happens, the new Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount will automatically be available for the specified lifetime(s); or

2.

The Contractowner makes a one-time election to reset the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount to 5% of the current Guaranteed Amount. This reset will occur on the first Valuation Date following the Benefit Year anniversary and will be based on the Guaranteed Amount as of that Valuation Date. This will reduce your Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount. A Contractowner would only choose this if the above situation did not occur. To reset the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount, the following must occur:

a.	the Contractowner (and spouse if applicable) is age 65;
b.	the contract is currently within a 10-year automatic step-up period described above (or else a Contractowner submits a step-up request to start a new 10-year automatic step-up period) (the Contractowner must be eligible to elect a step-up; i.e., all Contractowners and the Annuitant must be alive and under age 81); and
c.	you have submitted this request to us in writing at least 30 days prior to the end of the Benefit Year.

As an example of these two situations, if you purchased the Lincoln SmartSecurity^® Advantage – 1 Year Automatic Step-up single life with $100,000, your initial Guaranteed Amount is $100,000 and your initial Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount is $5,000. If you make a $5,000 withdrawal at age 62, your Guaranteed Amount will decrease to $95,000. Since you did not satisfy the age 65 requirement, you do not have a lifetime Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount. If a step-up of the Guaranteed Amount after age 65 (either automatic or owner-elected) causes the Guaranteed Amount to equal or exceed $100,000, then the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount of $5,000 (or greater) will become a lifetime payout. This is the first situation described above. However, if the Guaranteed Amount has not been reset to equal or exceed the highest prior Guaranteed Amount, then you can choose the second situation described above if you are age 65 and the contract is within a 10-year automatic step-up period. This will reset the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount to 5% of the current Guaranteed Amount; 5% of $95,000 is $4,750. This is your new Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount which can be paid for your lifetime unless Excess Withdrawals are made.

90

The tax consequences of withdrawals and annuity payments are discussed in Federal Tax Matters.

All withdrawals you make, whether or not within the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount, will decrease your Contract Value. If the contract is surrendered, the Contractowner will receive the Contract Value (less any applicable charges, fees, and taxes) and not the Guaranteed Amount.

If your Contract Value is reduced to zero because of market performance, withdrawals equal to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount will continue for the life of you (and your spouse if applicable) if the lifetime withdrawals are in effect. If not, the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount will continue until the Guaranteed Amount equals zero. You may not withdraw the remaining Guaranteed Amount in a lump sum.

Guaranteed Amount Annuity Payout Option. If you desire to annuitize your Guaranteed Amount, the Guaranteed Amount Annuity Payout Option is available.

The Guaranteed Amount Annuity Payment Option is a fixed annuitization in which the Contractowner (and spouse if applicable) will receive the Guaranteed Amount in annual annuity payments equal to the current 7% or 5% (depending on your option) Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount, including the lifetime Maximum Annual Withdrawals if in effect (this option is different from other annuity payment options discussed in this prospectus, including i4LIFE^® Advantage, which are based on your Contract Value). Payment frequencies other than annual may be available. Payments will continue until the Guaranteed Amount equals zero and may continue until death if the lifetime Maximum Annual Withdrawal is in effect. This may result in a partial, final payment. You would consider this option only if your Contract Value is less than the Guaranteed Amount (and you don't believe the Contract Value will ever exceed the Guaranteed Amount) and you do not wish to keep your annuity contract in force other than to pay out the Guaranteed Amount. You will have no other contract features other than the right to receive annuity payments equal to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount until the Guaranteed Amount equals zero.

If the Contract Value is zero and you have a remaining Guaranteed Amount, you may not withdraw the remaining Guaranteed Amount in a lump sum, but must elect the Guaranteed Amount Annuity Payment Option.

Death Prior to the Annuity Commencement Date. There is no provision for a lump sum payout of the Guaranteed Amount upon death of the Contractowners or Annuitant. At the time of death, if the Contract Value equals zero, no Death Benefit will be paid other than any applicable Maximum Annual Withdrawal amounts. All Death Benefit payments must be made in compliance with Internal Revenue Code Sections 72(s) or 401(a)(9) as applicable as amended from time to time. See The Contracts – Death Benefit.

Upon the death of the single life under the Lincoln SmartSecurity^® Advantage – 1 Year Automatic Step-up – single life option, the lifetime payout of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount, if in effect, will end. If the contract is continued as discussed below, the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount will continue until the Guaranteed Amount, if any, is zero. In the alternative, the surviving spouse can choose to become the new single life, if the surviving spouse is under age 81. This will cause a reset of the Guaranteed Amount and the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount. The new Guaranteed Amount will equal the Contract Value on the date of the reset and the new Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount will be 5% of the new Guaranteed Amount. This also starts a new 10-year period of automatic step-ups. At this time, the charge for the rider will become the current charge in effect for the single life option. The surviving spouse will need to be 65 before taking withdrawals to qualify for a lifetime payout. In deciding whether to make this change, the surviving spouse should consider:

1.	the change a reset would cause to the Guaranteed Amount and the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount;
2.	whether it is important to have Maximum Annual Withdrawal amounts for life or only until the Guaranteed Amount is reduced to zero; and
3.	the cost of the single life option.

Upon the first death under the Lincoln SmartSecurity^® Advantage – 1 Year Automatic Step-up – joint life option, the lifetime payout of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount, if in effect, will continue for the life of the surviving spouse. Upon the death of the surviving spouse, the lifetime payout of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount will end. However, if the spouse's Beneficiary elects to take the annuity Death Benefit in installments over life expectancy, the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount will continue until the Guaranteed Amount, if any, is zero (see below for a non-spouse Beneficiary). As an alternative, after the first death, the surviving spouse may choose to change from the joint life option to the single life option, if the surviving spouse is under age 81. This will cause a reset of the Guaranteed Amount and the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount. The new Guaranteed Amount will equal the Contract Value on the date of the reset and the new Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount will be 5% of the new Guaranteed Amount. This also starts a new 10-year period of automatic step-ups. At this time, the charge for the rider will become the current charge in effect for the single life option. In deciding whether to make this change, the surviving spouse should consider:

1.	if the reset will cause the Guaranteed Amount and the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount to decrease and
2.	if the cost of the single life option is less than the cost of the joint life option.

If the surviving spouse of the deceased Contractowner continues the contract, the remaining automatic step-ups under the Lincoln SmartSecurity^® Advantage – 1 Year Automatic Step-up option, will apply to the spouse as the new Contractowner. Under the Lincoln

91

SmartSecurity^® Advantage – 5 Year Elective Step-up option, the new Contractowner is eligible to elect to step-up the Guaranteed Amount prior to the next available step-up date; however, all other conditions for the step-up apply and any subsequent step-up by the new Contractowner must meet all conditions for a step-up.

If a non-spouse Beneficiary elects to receive the Death Benefit in installments over life expectancy (thereby keeping the contract in force), the Beneficiary may continue the Lincoln SmartSecurity^® Advantage if desired. Automatic step-ups under the Lincoln SmartSecurity^® Advantage – 1 Year Automatic Step-up option will not continue and elective step-ups of the Guaranteed Amount under both options will not be permitted. In the event the Contract Value declines below the Guaranteed Amount (as adjusted for withdrawals of Death Benefit payments), the Beneficiary is assured of receiving payments equal to the Guaranteed Amount (as adjusted). Deductions for the rider charge will continue on a quarterly basis and will be charged against the remaining Guaranteed Amount. Note: there are instances where the required installments of the Death Benefit, in order to be in compliance with the Internal Revenue Code as noted above, may exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount, thereby reducing the benefit of this rider. If there are multiple Beneficiaries, each Beneficiary will be entitled to continue a share of the Lincoln SmartSecurity^® Advantage equal to his or her share of the Death Benefit.

Impact of Divorce on Joint Life Option. In the event of a divorce, the Contractowner may change from a joint life option to a single life option (if available) (if the Contractowner is under age 81) at the current rider charge of the single life option. At the time of the change, the Guaranteed Amount will be reset to the current Contract Value and the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount will equal 5% of this new Guaranteed Amount.

After a divorce, the Contractowner may keep the joint life option to have the opportunity to receive lifetime payouts for the lives of the Contractowner and a new spouse. This is only available if no withdrawals were made from the contract after the effective date of the rider up to and including the date the new spouse is added to the rider.

Termination. After the later of the fifth Benefit Year anniversary of the effective date of the rider or the fifth Benefit Year anniversary of the most recent Contractowner-elected step-up, including any step-up we administered for you, of the Guaranteed Amount, the Contractowner may terminate the rider by notifying us in writing. After this time, the rider will also terminate if the Contractowner fails to adhere to the Investment Requirements. Lincoln SmartSecurity^® Advantage will automatically terminate:

• on the Annuity Commencement Date (except payments under the Guaranteed Amount Annuity Payment Option will continue if applicable);

• upon the election of i4LIFE^® Advantage;

• if the Contractowner or Annuitant is changed (except if the surviving spouse assumes ownership of the contract upon death of the Contractowner) including any sale or assignment of the contract or any pledge of the contract as collateral;

• upon the last payment of the Guaranteed Amount unless the lifetime Maximum Annual Withdrawal is in effect;

• when a withdrawal in excess of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount reduces the Guaranteed Amount to zero; or

• upon termination of the underlying annuity contract.

The termination will not result in any increase in Contract Value equal to the Guaranteed Amount. Upon effective termination of this rider, the benefits and charges within this rider will terminate.

If you terminate the rider, you must wait one year before you can purchase any Living Benefit Rider available for purchase at that time. The Lincoln Long-Term Care^SM Advantage rider cannot be elected after the contract is purchased.

i4LIFE^® Advantage Option. Contractowners with an active Lincoln SmartSecurity^® Advantage rider who decide to terminate their rider and purchase i4LIFE^® Advantage can use any remaining Guaranteed Amount to establish the Guaranteed Income Benefit under the i4LIFE^® Advantage terms and charge in effect at the time of the i4LIFE^® Advantage election (i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit (Managed Risk) is not available). Contractowners may consider this if i4LIFE^® Advantage will provide a higher payout amount, among other reasons. There are many factors to consider when making this decision, including the cost of the riders, the payout amounts, applicable guarantees and applicable Investment Requirements. You should discuss this decision with your registered representative. See The Contracts – Living Benefit Riders – i4LIFE^® Advantage.

4LATER^® Advantage (Managed Risk)

4LATER^® Advantage (Managed Risk) is a rider that provides an Income Base which will be used to establish the amount of the Guaranteed Income Benefit payment upon the election of i4LIFE^® Advantage. If you elect 4LATER^® Advantage (Managed Risk), you must later elect i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit (Managed Risk) in order to receive a benefit from 4LATER^® Advantage (Managed Risk). You will be subject to certain Investment Requirements in which your Contract Value must be allocated among specified Subaccounts. See The Contracts – Investment Requirements.

Income Base. The Income Base is an amount used to calculate the Guaranteed Income Benefit under i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit (Managed Risk) at a later date. The Income Base is not available to you as a lump sum withdrawal or as a Death Benefit. The initial Income Base varies based on when you elect the rider. If you elect 4LATER^® Advantage (Managed Risk) at the time you purchase the contract, the Income Base will be equal to the initial Purchase Payment and any Bonus Credits. If you elect the rider after you have purchased the contract, the initial Income Base will equal the Contract Value on the effective date of 4LATER^® Advantage

92

(Managed Risk). The maximum Income Base is $10,000,000. The maximum takes into consideration the total guaranteed amounts from all Lincoln Life contracts (or contracts issued by our affiliates) in which you (and/or Secondary Life, if joint life option) are the covered lives.

Additional Purchase Payments and any Bonus Credits automatically increase the Income Base by the amount of the Purchase Payments (not to exceed the maximum Income Base). For example, an additional Purchase Payment of $10,000 will increase the Income Base by $10,000. After the first anniversary of the rider effective date, once cumulative additional Purchase Payments exceed $100,000, additional Purchase Payments will be limited to $50,000 per Benefit Year without Home Office approval. If after the first Benefit Year cumulative additional Purchase Payments equal or exceed $100,000, the charge for 4LATER^® Advantage (Managed Risk) will change to the then current charge in effect on the next Benefit Year anniversary. Additional Purchase Payments will not be allowed if the Contract Value decreases to zero for any reason, including market loss.

Each withdrawal reduces the Income Base in the same proportion as the amount withdrawn reduces the Contract Value on the Valuation Date of the withdrawal. This means that the reduction in the Income Base could be more than the dollar amount of the withdrawal.

The following example demonstrates the impact of a withdrawal on the Income Base and the Contract Value. The Contractowner makes a withdrawal of $11,200 which causes a $12,550 reduction in the Income Base.

Prior to the withdrawal:
Contract Value = $112,000
Income Base = $125,500

After a withdrawal of $11,200, the Contract Value is reduced by 10% ($11,200) and the Income Base is also reduced by 10%, the same proportion by which the withdrawal reduced the Contract Value ($11,200 ÷ $112,000)

Contract Value = $100,800 ($112,000 - $11,200)
Income Base = $112,950 ($125,500 x 10% = $12,550; $125,500 - $12,550 = $112,950)

In a declining market, withdrawals may significantly reduce your Income Base. If the Income Base is reduced to zero due to withdrawals, this rider will terminate. If the Contract Value is reduced to zero due to a withdrawal, both the rider and the contract will terminate.

Automatic Annual Step-up. The Income Base will automatically step-up to the Contract Value on each Benefit Year anniversary if:

a.	the Annuitant (single life option), or the Secondary Life (joint life option) are still living and under age 86; and
b.	the Contract Value on that Benefit Year anniversary, after the deduction of any withdrawals (including surrender charges, the rider charge and account fee), plus any Purchase Payments made on that date and Persistency Credits, if any, added on that date, is equal to or greater than the Income Base after the 5% Enhancement (if any).

The Automatic Annual Step-up is available even in years in which a withdrawal has occurred.

5% Enhancement. On each Benefit Year anniversary, the Income Base, minus Purchase Payments received in the preceding Benefit Year, will be increased by 5% if:

a. the Annuitant (as well as the Secondary Life if the joint life option is in effect) are under age 86; and

b. if there were no withdrawals in the preceding Benefit Year; and

c. the rider is within the Enhancement Period described below.

The Enhancement Period is a 10-year period that begins on the effective date of the rider. A new Enhancement Period begins immediately following an Automatic Annual Step-up. If during any Enhancement Period there are no Automatic Annual Step-ups, the 5% Enhancements will terminate at the end of the Enhancement Period and will not restart until the next Benefit Year anniversary following the Benefit Year anniversary upon which an Automatic Annual Step-up occurs. Any new Purchase Payment made after the initial Purchase Payment will be added immediately to the Income Base. However, any new Purchase Payment must be invested in the contract for at least one Benefit Year before it will be used in calculating the 5% Enhancement. Any new Purchase Payments made within the first 90 days after the effective date of 4LATER^® Advantage (Managed Risk) will be included in the Income Base for purposes of calculating the 5% Enhancement on the first Benefit Year anniversary.

If you decline the Automatic Annual Step-up during the first 10 Benefit Years, you will continue to be eligible for the 5% Enhancements through the end of the current Enhancement Period, but the 4LATER^® Advantage (Managed Risk) charge could increase to the then current charge at the time of any 5% Enhancements after the 10^th Benefit Year anniversary. You will have the option to opt out of the Enhancements after the 10^th Benefit Year. In order to be eligible to receive further 5% Enhancements the Annuitant (single life option), or the Secondary Life (joint life option) must still be living and be under age 86.

93

Note: The 5% Enhancement is not available in any Benefit Year there is a withdrawal from Contract Value. A 5% Enhancement will occur in subsequent years only under certain conditions. If you are eligible (as defined below) for the 5% Enhancement in the next Benefit Year, the Enhancement will not occur until the Benefit Year anniversary of that year.

The following is an example of the impact of the 5% Enhancement on the Income Base for a Design 1 contract (assuming no withdrawals):

Initial Purchase Payment = $100,000; Income Base = $100,000

Additional Purchase Payment on day 30 = $15,000; Income Base = $115,000

Additional Purchase Payment on day 95 = $10,000; Income Base = $125,000

On the first Benefit Year anniversary, the Income Base will not be less than $130,750 ($115,000 x 1.05% = $120,750 plus $10,000). The $10,000 Purchase Payment on day 95 is not eligible for the 5% Enhancement until the 2^nd Benefit Year anniversary.

As explained below, the 5% Enhancement and Automatic Annual Step-up will not occur in the same year. If the Automatic Annual Step-up provides a greater increase to the Income Base, you will not receive the 5% Enhancement. If the Automatic Annual Step-up and the 5% Enhancement increase the Income Base to the same amount then you will receive the Automatic Annual Step-up. The 5% Enhancement or the Automatic Annual Step-up cannot increase the Income Base above the maximum Income Base of $10,000,000.

You will not receive the 5% Enhancement on any Benefit Year anniversary in which there is a withdrawal. The 5% Enhancement will occur on the following Benefit Year anniversary if no further withdrawals are made from the contract and the rider is within the Enhancement Period.

The following is an example of how the Automatic Annual Step-ups and the 5% Enhancement affect the Income Base and the potential for the charge to increase or decrease (assuming there have been no withdrawals or new Purchase Payments or Bonus Credits):

	Contract Value	Income Base with 5% Enhancement	Income Base	Potential for Charge to Change
Initial Purchase Payment $50,000	$50,000	N/A	$50,000	N/A
1st Benefit Year anniversary	$54,000	$52,500	$54,000	Yes
2nd Benefit Year anniversary	$53,900	$56,700	$56,700	No
3rd Benefit Year anniversary	$56,000	$59,535	$59,535	No
4th Benefit Year anniversary	$64,000	$62,512	$64,000	Yes

On the 1^st Benefit Year anniversary, the Automatic Annual Step-up increased the Income Base to the Contract Value of $54,000 since the increase in the Contract Value is greater than the 5% Enhancement amount of $2,500 (5% of $50,000). On the 2^nd Benefit Year anniversary, the 5% Enhancement provided a larger increase (5% of $54,000 = $2,700). On the 3^rd Benefit Year anniversary, the 5% Enhancement provided a larger increase (5% of $56,700 = $2,835). On the 4^th Benefit Year anniversary, the Automatic Annual Step-up to the Contract Value was greater than the 5% Enhancement amount of $2,977 (5% of $59,535). An Automatic Annual Step-up cannot increase the Income Base beyond the maximum Income Base of $10,000,000.

Death Prior to the Annuity Commencement Date.4LATER^® Advantage (Managed Risk) has no provision for a payout of the Income Base or any other Death Benefit upon death of the Contractowners or Annuitant. At the time of death, if the Contract Value equals zero, no Death Benefit options (as described earlier in this prospectus) will be in effect. Election of the 4LATER^® Advantage (Managed Risk) does not impact the Death Benefit options available for purchase with your annuity contract. Generally all Death Benefit payments must be made in compliance with Internal Revenue Code Sections 72(s) or 401(a)(9), as amended. See The Contracts – Death Benefit.

If the Contractowner is not also named as the Annuitant or the Secondary Life, upon the first death of the Annuitant or Secondary Life, the 4LATER^® Advantage (Managed Risk) rider will continue. Upon the second death of either the Annuitant or Secondary Life, 4LATER^® Advantage (Managed Risk) will terminate.

Upon the death of the Contractowner, the 4LATER^® Advantage (Managed Risk) rider will continue only if either Annuitant or the Secondary Life becomes the new Contractowner and payments under i4LIFE^® Advantage begin within one year after the death of the Contractowner.

Eligibility. To elect 4LATER^® Advantage (Managed Risk), the Contractowner, Annuitant and Secondary Life under the joint life option must be age 85 or younger.

For contracts issued on or after August 26, 2013, 4LATER^® Advantage (Managed Risk) is only available for election at the time the contract is purchased. 4LATER^® Advantage (Managed Risk) is not available for purchase with qualified contracts and is designed primarily for purchasers of nonqualified contracts where the owner and Annuitant are different people (single life option) or with joint life benefits where the Secondary Life is not a spouse. If you are eligible to elect Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed

94

Risk) and you purchase joint life benefits where Secondary Life is a spouse, Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk) generally offers better benefits for the same charge. Please see Living Benefit Riders – Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk), for more information about Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk).

Contractowners with an active 4LATER^® Advantage that wish to terminate 4LATER^® Advantage and elect 4LATER^® Advantage (Managed Risk) must first terminate 4LATER^® Advantage (subject to the termination rules) before you will be able to elect 4LATER^® Advantage (Managed Risk). Only contracts purchased prior to August 26, 2013, are eligible to add a rider after the contract is issued. See the 4LATER^® Advantage Termination section of this prospectus for further information about the termination rules. In all cases, by terminating any existing Living Benefit Rider, you will no longer be entitled to any of the benefits that have accrued under that rider.

Termination. After the 5^th anniversary of the effective date of the 4LATER^® Advantage (Managed Risk) rider, the Contractowner may terminate the rider by notifying us in writing. After this time, the rider will also terminate if the Contractowner fails to adhere to the Investment Requirements. 4LATER^® Advantage (Managed Risk) will automatically terminate:

• on the Annuity Commencement Date; or

• if the Annuitant is changed including any sale or assignment of the contract or any pledge of the contract as collateral; or

• upon the second death of either the Annuitant or Secondary Life; or

• when the Income Base is reduced to zero due to withdrawals; or

• the last day that you can elect i4LIFE^® Advantage (age 99 for nonqualified contracts); or

• upon termination of the underlying contract.

This termination will not result in any increase in Contract Value equal to the Income Base. Upon effective termination of this rider, the benefits and charges within this rider will terminate. If you terminate the rider, you must wait one year before you can elect any Living Benefit Rider available for purchase at that time. The Lincoln Long-Term Care^SM Advantage rider cannot be elected after the contract is purchased.

i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit (Managed Risk) for purchasers who previously purchased 4LATER^® Advantage (Managed Risk). Contractowners with an active 4LATER^®Advantage (Managed Risk) may purchase i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit (Managed Risk) at the terms in effect when the Contractowner purchased 4LATER^® Advantage (Managed Risk) rider. i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit (Managed Risk) provides for periodic variable income payments for life, the ability to make withdrawals during a defined period of time (the Access Period), a Death Benefit during the Access Period, and a minimum payout floor, called the Guaranteed Income Benefit. You will be required to adhere to certain Investment Requirements during the time you own i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit (Managed Risk). See Living Benefit Riders - i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit for more information.

Once you elect i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit (Managed Risk), you can use the greater of the Income Base under 4LATER^® Advantage (Managed Risk) or Account Value to establish the Guaranteed Income Benefit under i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit (Managed Risk). This decision must be made by the maximum age to elect i4LIFE^® Advantage, which is age 95. Purchasers of 4LATER^® Advantage (Managed Risk) who have waited until after the 5^th Benefit Year anniversary may elect i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit (Managed Risk) until age 99.

If you elect the 4LATER^®Advantage (Managed Risk) joint life option, you must purchase i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit (Managed Risk) joint life option.

Contractowners who elect 4LATER^® Advantage (Managed Risk) are guaranteed the ability in the future to elect i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit (Managed Risk) even if it is no longer available for purchase. They are also guaranteed that the Guaranteed Income Benefit percentage and Access Period requirements will be at least as favorable as those at the time they elected 4LATER^® Advantage (Managed Risk). The minimum length of the i4LIFE^® Advantage Access Period will vary based upon when you purchased your 4LATER^® Advantage (Managed Risk) rider and how long the rider was in effect before you decided to purchase i4LIFE^® Advantage. These requirements are specifically listed in the i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit section of this prospectus under Impacts to i4LIFE^® Advantage Regular Income Payments.

The Contractowner must elect the levelized option for Regular Income Payments. While i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit (Managed Risk) is in effect, the Contractowner cannot change the payment mode elected or decrease the length of the Access Period.

You should consider electing i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit (Managed Risk) when you are ready to immediately start receiving i4LIFE^® Advantage payments. Payments from a nonqualified contract that a person receives under i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit (Managed Risk) are treated as “amounts received as an annuity” under section 72 of the Internal Revenue Code because the payments occur after the annuity starting date. These payments are subject to an “exclusion ratio” as provided in section 72(b) of the Code, which means a portion of each Annuity Payout is treated as income (taxable at ordinary income tax rates), and the remainder is treated as a nontaxable return of Purchase Payments.

i4LIFE^® Advantage

i4LIFE^® Advantage (the Variable Annuity Payout Option rider in your contract) is an optional Annuity Payout rider you may purchase at an additional cost and is separate and distinct from other Annuity Payout options offered under your contract and described later in this prospectus. You may also purchase i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit for an additional charge. See Charges and Other Deductions – i4LIFE^® Advantage Charge.

i4LIFE^® Advantage is an Annuity Payout option that provides you with variable, periodic Regular Income Payments for life subject to certain conditions. These payouts are made during two time periods: an Access Period and a Lifetime Income Period. During the Access Period, you have access to your Account Value, which means you may surrender the contract, make withdrawals, and have a Death Benefit. During the Lifetime Income Period, you no longer have access to your Account Value. You choose the length of the Access Period when you select i4LIFE^® Advantage; the Lifetime Income Period begins immediately after the Access Period ends and continues until your death (or the death of a Secondary Life, if later). i4LIFE^® Advantage is different from other Annuity Payout options provided by Lincoln because with i4LIFE^® Advantage, you have the ability to make additional withdrawals or surrender the contract during the Access Period. You may also purchase the Guaranteed Income Benefit which provides a minimum payout floor for your Regular Income Payments. You choose when you want to receive your first Regular Income Payment and the frequency with which you will receive Regular Income Payments. The initial Regular Income Payment is calculated from the Account Value on a date no more than 14 days prior to the date you select to begin receiving the Regular Income Payments. This calculation date is called the Periodic Income Commencement Date, and is the same date the Access Period begins. Regular Income Payments must begin within one year of the date you elect i4LIFE^® Advantage. Once they begin, Regular Income Payments will continue until the death of the Annuitant or Secondary Life, if applicable. This option is available on nonqualified annuities, IRAs and Roth IRAs (check with your registered representative regarding availability with SEP market). This option is subject to a charge while the i4LIFE^® Advantage is in effect computed daily on the Account Value. See Charges and Other Deductions – i4LIFE^® Advantage Charge.

i4LIFE^® Advantage is available for contracts with a Contract Value of at least $50,000 and may be elected at the time of application or at any time before any other Annuity Payout option under this contract is elected by sending a completed i4LIFE^® Advantage election form to our Home Office. When you elect i4LIFE^® Advantage, you must choose the Annuitant, Secondary Life, if applicable, and make several choices about your Regular Income Payments. The Annuitant and Secondary Life may not be changed after i4LIFE^® Advantage is elected. For qualified contracts, the Secondary Life must be the spouse. See i4LIFE^® Advantage Death Benefits regarding the impact of a change to the Annuitant prior to the i4LIFE^® Advantage election.

i4LIFE^® Advantage for IRA contracts is only available if the Annuitant and Secondary Life, if applicable, are age 59½ or older at the time the option is elected. i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit must be elected by age 80 on IRA contracts or age 95 for nonqualified contracts. Additional limitations on issue ages and features may be necessary to comply with the IRC provisions for required minimum distributions. Additional Purchase Payments may be made during the Access Period for an IRA annuity contract, unless a Guaranteed Income Benefit has been elected. If the Guaranteed Income Benefit option has been elected on an IRA contract, additional Purchase Payments may be made until the initial Guaranteed Income Benefit is calculated. Additional Purchase Payments will not be accepted after the Periodic Income Commencement Date for a nonqualified annuity contract.

If i4LIFE^® Advantage is selected, the applicable transfer provisions among Subaccounts and the fixed account will continue to be those specified in your annuity contract for transfers on or before the Annuity Commencement Date. However, once i4LIFE^® Advantage begins, any automatic withdrawal service will terminate. See The Contracts – Transfers on or Before the Annuity Commencement Date.

When you elect i4LIFE^® Advantage, the Death Benefit option that you previously elected will become the Death Benefit election under i4LIFE^® Advantage, unless you elect a less expensive Death Benefit option. If you had previously elected EEB Death Benefit, you must elect a new Death Benefit. Existing Contractowners with the Account Value Death Benefit who elect i4LIFE^® Advantage must choose the i4LIFE^® Advantage Account Value Death Benefit. The amount paid under the new Death Benefit may be less than the amount that would have been paid under the Death Benefit provided before i4LIFE^® Advantage began (if premium taxes have been deducted from the Contract Value). See The Contracts – i4LIFE^® Advantage Death Benefits.

Access Period. At the time you elect i4LIFE^® Advantage, you also select the Access Period, which begins on the Periodic Income Commencement Date. The Access Period is a defined period of time during which we pay variable, periodic Regular Income Payments and provide a Death Benefit, and during which you may surrender the contract and make withdrawals from your Account Value (defined below). At the end of the Access Period, the remaining Account Value is used to make Regular Income Payments for the rest of your life (or the Secondary Life if applicable). This is called the Lifetime Income Period. During the Lifetime Income Period, you will no longer be able to make withdrawals or surrenders or receive a Death Benefit. If your Account Value is reduced to zero because of withdrawals or market loss, your Access Period ends.

We will establish the minimum (currently 5 years) and maximum (currently the length of time between your current age and age 115 for nonqualified contracts or to age 100 for qualified contracts) Access Periods at the time you elect i4LIFE^® Advantage. Generally, shorter Access Periods will produce a higher initial Regular Income Payment than longer Access Periods. At any time during the Access Period, you may extend or shorten the length of the Access Period subject to Home Office approval. Additional restrictions may apply if you are under age 59½ when you request a change to the Access Period. Currently, if you extend the Access Period, it

96

must be extended at least 5 years. If you change the Access Period, subsequent Regular Income Payments will be adjusted accordingly, and the Account Value remaining at the end of the new Access Period will be applied to continue Regular Income Payments for your life. Additional limitations on issue ages and features may be necessary to comply with the IRC provisions for required minimum distributions. We may reduce or terminate the Access Period for IRA i4LIFE^® Advantage contracts in order to keep the Regular Income Payments in compliance with IRC provisions for required minimum distributions. The minimum Access Period requirements for Guaranteed Income Benefits are longer than the requirements for i4LIFE^® Advantage without a Guaranteed Income Benefit. Shortening the Access Period will terminate the Guaranteed Income Benefit. See Guaranteed Income Benefit with i4LIFE^® Advantage.

Account Value. The initial Account Value is the Contract Value on the Valuation Date i4LIFE^® Advantage is effective (or your initial Purchase Payment if i4LIFE^® Advantage is purchased at contract issue), less any applicable premium taxes. During the Access Period, the Account Value on a Valuation Date will equal the total value of all of the Contractowner's Accumulation Units plus the Contractowner's value in the fixed account, and will be reduced by Regular Income Payments and Guaranteed Income Benefit payments made as well as any withdrawals taken. After the Access Period ends, the remaining Account Value will be applied to continue Regular Income Payments for your life and the Account Value will be reduced to zero.

Regular Income Payments during the Access Period.i4LIFE^® Advantage provides for variable, periodic Regular Income Payments for as long as an Annuitant (or Secondary Life, if applicable) is living and access to your Account Value during the Access Period. When you elect i4LIFE^® Advantage, you will have to choose the date you will receive the initial Regular Income Payment. Once they begin, Regular Income Payments will continue until the death of the Annuitant or Secondary Life, if applicable. Regular Income Payments must begin within one year of the date you elect i4LIFE^® Advantage. You also select when the Access Period ends and when the Lifetime Income Period begins. You must also select the frequency of the payments (monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually), how often the payment is recalculated, the length of the Access Period and the assumed investment return. These choices will influence the amount of your Regular Income Payments.

If you do not choose a payment frequency, the default is a monthly frequency. In most states, you may also elect to have Regular Income Payments from nonqualified contracts recalculated only once each year rather than recalculated at the time of each payment. This results in level Regular Income Payments between recalculation dates. Qualified contracts are only recalculated once per year, at the beginning of each calendar year. You also choose the assumed investment return. Return rates of 3%, 4%, 5%, or 6% may be available. The higher the assumed investment return you choose, the higher your initial Regular Income Payment will be and the higher the return must be to increase subsequent Regular Income Payments. You also choose the length of the Access Period. At this time, changes to the Access Period can only be made on Periodic Income Commencement Date anniversaries.

Regular Income Payments are not subject to any applicable surrender charges or Interest Adjustments. See Charges and Other Deductions. For information regarding income tax consequences of Regular Income Payments, see Federal Tax Matters.

The amount of the initial Regular Income Payment is determined on the Periodic Income Commencement Date by dividing the Contract Value (or Purchase Payment if elected at contract issue), less applicable premium taxes by 1000 and multiplying the result by an annuity factor. The annuity factor is based upon:

• the age and sex of the Annuitant and Secondary Life, if applicable;

• the length of the Access Period selected;

• the frequency of the Regular Income Payments;

• the assumed investment return you selected; and

• the Individual Annuity Mortality table specified in your contract.

The annuity factor used to determine the Regular Income Payments reflects the fact that, during the Access Period, you have the ability to withdraw the entire Account Value and that a Death Benefit of the entire Account Value will be paid to your Beneficiary upon your death. These benefits during the Access Period result in a slightly lower Regular Income Payment, during both the Access Period and the Lifetime Income Period, than would be payable if this access was not permitted and no lump-sum Death Benefit of the full Account Value was payable. (The Contractowner must elect an Access Period of no less than the minimum Access Period which is currently set at 5 years.) The annuity factor also reflects the requirement that there be sufficient Account Value at the end of the Access Period to continue your Regular Income Payments for the remainder of your life (and/or the Secondary Life if applicable), during the Lifetime Income Period, with no further access or Death Benefit.

The Account Value will vary with the actual net investment return of the Subaccounts selected and the interest credited on the fixed account, which then determines the subsequent Regular Income Payments during the Access Period. Each subsequent Regular Income Payment (unless the levelized option is selected) is determined by dividing the Account Value on the applicable Valuation Date by 1000 and multiplying this result by an annuity factor revised to reflect the declining length of the Access Period. As a result of this calculation, the actual net returns in the Account Value are measured against the assumed investment return to determine subsequent Regular Income Payments. If the actual net investment return (annualized) for the contract exceeds the assumed investment return, the Regular Income Payment will increase at a rate approximately equal to the amount of such excess. Conversely, if the actual net investment return for the contract is less than the assumed investment return, the Regular Income Payment will decrease. For example, if net investment return is 3% higher (annualized) than the assumed investment return, the Regular Income Payment for the

97

next year will increase by approximately 3%. Conversely, if actual net investment return is 3% lower than the assumed investment return, the Regular Income Payment will decrease by approximately 3%.

Withdrawals made during the Access Period will also reduce the Account Value that is available for Regular Income Payments, and subsequent Regular Income Payments will be recalculated and could be increased or reduced, based on the Account Value following the withdrawal.

For a joint life option, if either the Annuitant or Secondary Life dies during the Access Period, Regular Income Payments will be recalculated using a revised annuity factor based on the single surviving life, if doing so provides a higher Regular Income Payment. On a joint life option, the Secondary Life spouse must be either the primary Beneficiary or joint owner in order to receive the remaining payments after the first spouse’s death.

For nonqualified contracts, if the Annuitant and Secondary Life, if applicable, both die during the Access Period, the Guaranteed Income Benefit (if any) will terminate and the annuity factor will be revised for a non-life contingent Regular Income Payment and Regular Income Payments will continue until the Account Value is fully paid out and the Access Period ends. For qualified contracts, if the Annuitant and Secondary Life, if applicable, both die during the Access Period, i4LIFE^® Advantage (and any Guaranteed Income Benefit if applicable) will terminate.

Regular Income Payments during the Lifetime Income Period. The Lifetime Income Period begins at the end of the Access Period if either the Annuitant or Secondary Life is living. Your earlier elections regarding the frequency of Regular Income Payments, assumed investment return and the frequency of the recalculation do not change. The initial Regular Income Payment during the Lifetime Income Period is determined by dividing the Account Value on the last Valuation Date of the Access Period by 1000 and multiplying the result by an annuity factor revised to reflect that the Access Period has ended. The annuity factor is based upon:

• the age and sex of the Annuitant and Secondary Life (if living);

• the frequency of the Regular Income Payments;

• the assumed investment return you selected; and

• the Individual Annuity Mortality table specified in your contract.

The impact of the length of the Access Period and any withdrawals made during the Access Period will continue to be reflected in the Regular Income Payments during the Lifetime Income Period. To determine subsequent Regular Income Payments, the contract is credited with a fixed number of Annuity Units equal to the initial Regular Income Payment (during the Lifetime Income Period) divided by the Annuity Unit value (by Subaccount). Subsequent Regular Income Payments are determined by multiplying the number of Annuity Units per Subaccount by the Annuity Unit value. Your Regular Income Payments will vary based on the value of your Annuity Units. If your Regular Income Payments are adjusted on an annual basis, the total of the annual payment is transferred to Lincoln Life's general account to be paid out based on the payment mode you selected. Your payment(s) will not be affected by market performance during that year. Your Regular Income Payment(s) for the following year will be recalculated at the beginning of the following year based on the current value of the Annuity Units.

Regular Income Payments will continue for as long as the Annuitant or Secondary Life, if applicable, is living, and will continue to be adjusted for investment performance of the Subaccounts your Annuity Units are invested in (and the fixed account if applicable). Regular Income Payments vary with investment performance.

During the Lifetime Income Period, there is no longer an Account Value; therefore, no withdrawals are available and no Death Benefit is payable. In addition, transfers are not allowed from a fixed annuity payment to a variable annuity payment.

i4LIFE^® Advantage Death Benefits

i4LIFE^® Advantage Account Value Death Benefit. The i4LIFE^® Advantage Account Value Death Benefit is available during the Access Period. This Death Benefit is equal to the Account Value as of the Valuation Date on which we approve the payment of the death claim. You may not change this Death Benefit once it is elected.

i4LIFE^® Advantage Guarantee of Principal Death Benefit. The i4LIFE^® Advantage Guarantee of Principal Death Benefit is available during the Access Period and will be equal to the greater of:

• the Account Value as of the Valuation Date we approve the payment of the claim; or

• the sum of all Purchase Payments, less the sum of Regular Income Payments and other withdrawals where:

• Regular Income Payments, including withdrawals to provide the Guaranteed Income Benefit, reduce the Death Benefit by the dollar amount of the payment; and

• all other withdrawals, if any, reduce the Death Benefit in the same proportion that withdrawals reduce the Contract Value or Account Value.

References to Purchase Payments and withdrawals include Purchase Payments and withdrawals made prior to the election of i4LIFE^® Advantage if your contract was in force with the Guarantee of Principal or greater Death Benefit option prior to that election.

98

In a declining market, withdrawals which are deducted in the same proportion that withdrawals reduce the Contract Value or Account Value, may have a magnified effect on the reduction of the Death Benefit payable. This is because the reduction in the benefit may be more than the dollar amount withdrawn from the Contract Value. All references to withdrawals include deductions for any applicable charges associated with those withdrawals (surrender charges for example) and premium taxes, if any.

The following example demonstrates the impact of a proportionate withdrawal on your Death Benefit:

i4LIFE® Advantage Guarantee of Principal Death Benefit	$200,000
Total i4LIFE® Regular Income Payment	$25,000
Additional Withdrawal	$15,000	($15,000/$150,000=10% withdrawal)
Account Value at the time of Additional Withdrawal	$150,000

Death Benefit Value after i4LIFE^® Regular Income Payment = $200,000 - $25,000 = $175,000
Death Benefit Value after additional withdrawal = $175,000 - $17,500 = $157,500
Reduction in Death Benefit Value for Withdrawal = $175,000 x 10% = $17,500

The Regular Income Payments reduce the Death Benefit by $25,000 and the additional withdrawal causes a 10% reduction in the Death Benefit, the same percentage that the withdrawal reduced the Account Value.

During the Access Period, contracts with the i4LIFE^® Advantage Guarantee of Principal Death Benefit may elect to change to the i4LIFE^® Advantage Account Value Death Benefit. We will effect the change in Death Benefit on the Valuation Date we receive a completed election form at our Home Office, and we will begin deducting the lower i4LIFE^® Advantage charge at that time. Once the change is effective, you may not elect to return to the i4LIFE^® Advantage Guarantee of Principal Death Benefit.

i4LIFE^® Advantage EGMDB. The i4LIFE^® Advantage EGMDB is only available during the Access Period. This benefit is the greatest of:

• the Account Value as of the Valuation Date on which we approve the payment of the claim; or

• the sum of all Purchase Payments, less the sum of Regular Income Payments and other withdrawals where:

• Regular Income Payments, including withdrawals to provide the Guaranteed Income Benefit, reduce the Death Benefit by the dollar amount of the payment or in the same proportion that Regular Income Payments reduce the Account Value, depending on the terms of your contract; and

• all other withdrawals, if any, reduce the Death Benefit in the same proportion that withdrawals reduce the Contract Value or Account Value.

References to Purchase Payments and withdrawals include Purchase Payments and withdrawals made prior to the election of i4LIFE^® Advantage if your contract was in force with the Guarantee of Principal or greater Death Benefit option prior to that election; or

• the highest Account Value or Contract Value on any contract anniversary date (including the inception date of the contract) after the EGMDB is effective (determined before the allocation of any Purchase Payments on that contract anniversary) prior to the 81^st birthday of the deceased and prior to the date of death. The highest Account Value or Contract Value is increased by Purchase Payments and Bonus Credits and is decreased by Regular Income Payments, including withdrawals to provide the Guaranteed Income Benefits and all other withdrawals subsequent to the anniversary date on which the highest Account Value or Contract Value is obtained. Regular Income Payments and withdrawals are deducted in the same proportion that Regular Income Payments and withdrawals reduce the Contract Value or Account Value.

When determining the highest anniversary value, if you elected the EGMDB (or more expensive Death Benefit option) in the base contract and this Death Benefit was in effect when you purchased i4LIFE^® Advantage, we will look at the Contract Value before i4LIFE^® Advantage and the Account Value after the i4LIFE^® Advantage election to determine the highest anniversary value.

In a declining market, withdrawals which are deducted in the same proportion that withdrawals reduce the Account Value, may have a magnified effect on the reduction of the Death Benefit payable. This is because the reduction in the benefit may be more than the dollar amount withdrawn from the Contract Value. All references to withdrawals include deductions for any applicable charges associated with those withdrawals (surrender charges for example) and premium taxes, if any.

Contracts with the i4LIFE^® Advantage EGMDB may elect to change to the i4LIFE^® Advantage Guarantee of Principal or the i4LIFE^® Advantage Account Value Death Benefit. We will effect the change in Death Benefit on the Valuation Date we receive a completed election form at our Home Office, and we will begin deducting the lower i4LIFE^® Advantage charge at that time. Once the change is effective, you may not elect to return to the i4LIFE^® Advantage EGMDB.

General Death Benefit Provisions. For all Death Benefit options, following the Access Period, there is no Death Benefit. The Death Benefits also terminate when the Account Value equals zero, because the Access Period terminates.

If there is a change in the Contractowner, joint owner or Annuitant during the life of the contract, for any reason other than death, the only Death Benefit payable for the new person will be the i4LIFE^® Advantage Account Value Death Benefit. On a joint life

99

option, the Secondary Life spouse must be either the primary Beneficiary or joint owner in order to receive the remaining payments after the first spouse’s death.

For nonqualified contracts, upon the death of the Contractowner, joint owner or Annuitant, the Contractowner (or Beneficiary) may elect to terminate the contract and receive full payment of the Death Benefit or may elect to continue the contract and receive Regular Income Payments. Upon the death of the Secondary Life, who is not also an owner, only the surrender value is paid.

If you are the owner of an IRA annuity contract, and there is no Secondary Life, and you die during the Access Period, the i4LIFE^® Advantage will terminate. A spouse Beneficiary may start a new i4LIFE^® Advantage program.

If a death occurs during the Access Period, the value of the Death Benefit will be determined as of the Valuation Date we approve the payment of the claim. Approval of payment will occur upon our receipt of all the following:

1.	proof (e.g. an original certified death certificate), or any other proof of death satisfactory to us; and
2.	written authorization for payment; and
3.	all required claim forms, fully completed (including selection of a settlement option).

Notwithstanding any provision of this contract to the contrary, the payment of Death Benefits provided under this contract must be made in compliance with Code Section 72(s) or 401(a)(9) as applicable, as amended from time to time. Death Benefits may be taxable. See Federal Tax Matters.

Upon notification to us of the death, Regular Income Payments may be suspended until the death claim is approved. Upon approval, a lump sum payment for the value of any suspended payments will be made as of the date the death claim is approved, and Regular Income Payments will continue, if applicable. The excess, if any, of the Death Benefit over the Account Value will be credited into the contract at that time.

If a lump sum settlement is elected, the proceeds will be mailed within seven days of approval by us of the claim subject to the laws, regulations and tax code governing payment of Death Benefits. This payment may be postponed as permitted by the Investment Company Act of 1940.

Guaranteed Income Benefit with i4LIFE^® Advantage

A Guaranteed Income Benefit may be available for purchase when you elect i4LIFE^® Advantage which ensures that your Regular Income Payments will never be less than a minimum payout floor, regardless of the actual investment performance of your contract. There are two versions of i4LIFE^®Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit currently available for purchase (unless you are guaranteed the right to elect a prior version under the terms of your Living Benefit Rider) – i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit (Managed Risk) and i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit (version 4).

i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit is an optional feature that provides a Guaranteed Income Benefit percentage and requires that you adhere to certain Investment Requirements. See Investment Requirements in this prospectus for more information about the Investment Requirements applicable to your version of i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit. You will be subject to Investment Requirements applicable to your rider for the entire time you own the rider. Failure to comply with the Investment Requirements will result in the termination of the rider. See i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit – Termination for more information. All of the other terms and conditions of i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit (version 4) continue to apply to i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit (Managed Risk).

As discussed below, certain features of the Guaranteed Income Benefit may be impacted if you purchased Lincoln SmartSecurity^® Advantage, Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage, Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk) or Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (withdrawal benefit riders), or 4LATER^® Advantage (Managed Risk) (minimum Annuity Payout rider) prior to electing i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit (Annuity Payout rider). Refer to the 4LATER^® Advantage section of this prospectus for a discussion of the 4LATER^® Guaranteed Income Benefit.

Additional Purchase Payments cannot be made to a contract with the Guaranteed Income Benefit. You are also limited in how much you can invest in certain Subaccounts. See the Contracts – Investment Requirements. The version of the Guaranteed Income Benefit, the date that you purchased it, and/or whether you previously owned a Living Benefit Rider will determine which Investment Requirement option applies to you.

There is no guarantee that any version of i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit will be available to elect in the future, as we reserve the right to discontinue this option at any time. In addition, we may make different versions of the Guaranteed Income Benefit available to new purchasers or may create different versions for use with various Living Benefit Riders. However, a Contractowner with Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage, Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk) (including Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0) or 4LATER^® Advantage (Managed Risk) who decides to terminate that rider to purchase i4LIFE^® Advantage will be guaranteed the right to purchase the Guaranteed Income Benefit under the terms set forth in the prior rider.

You may elect any available version of the Guaranteed Income Benefit when you elect i4LIFE^® Advantage or during the Access Period, if still available for election, subject to terms and conditions at that time. You may choose not to purchase the i4LIFE^® Advantage

100

Guaranteed Income Benefit at the time you purchase i4LIFE^® Advantage by indicating that you do not want the i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit on the election form at the time that you purchase i4LIFE^® Advantage. If you intend to use the Guaranteed Amount from either the Lincoln SmartSecurity^® Advantage rider or the Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage rider or the Income Base from Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk), Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 or 4LATER^® Advantage (Managed Risk) to establish the Guaranteed Income Benefit, you must elect the Guaranteed Income Benefit at the time you elect i4LIFE^® Advantage.

The i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit is reduced by withdrawals (other than Regular Income Payments) in the same proportion that the withdrawals reduce the Account Value. See i4LIFE^® Advantage – General i4LIFE^® Provisions for an example.

Contractowners with Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk) or 4LATER^® Advantage (Managed Risk) who wish to elect i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit must elect i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit (Managed Risk). Please refer to your Living Benefit Rider regarding the availability of prior versions of Guaranteed Income Benefit.

Guaranteed Income Benefit (Managed Risk) and Guaranteed Income Benefit (version 4). The following discussion applies to both Guaranteed Income Benefit (Managed Risk) and Guaranteed Income Benefit (version 4) unless otherwise specified. The initial Guaranteed Income Benefit will be an amount equal to a specified percentage of your Account Value (or Income Base or Guaranteed Amount as applicable), based on your age (or the age of the youngest life under a joint life option) at the time the Guaranteed Income Benefit is elected. The specified percentages and the corresponding age-bands for calculating the initial Guaranteed Income Benefit are outlined in the applicable table below for riders elected on or after May 20, 2013. Lincoln SmartSecurity^® Advantage purchasers use the date of the i4LIFE^® Advantage with Guaranteed Income Benefit election to determine the table applicable to their contracts. (i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit (Managed Risk) is not available to Lincoln SmartSecurity^® Advantage purchasers.)

Note that Guaranteed Income Benefit percentages for riders purchased prior to May 20, 2013, can be found in an Appendix to this prospectus.

If the amount of your i4LIFE^® Advantage Regular Income Payment has fallen below the Guaranteed Income Benefit, because of poor investment results, a payment equal to the i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit is the minimum payment you will receive. If the market performance in your contract is sufficient to provide Regular Income Payments at a level that exceeds the Guaranteed Income Benefit, the Guaranteed Income Benefit will never come into effect. If the Guaranteed Income Benefit is paid, it will be paid with the same frequency as your Regular Income Payment. If your Regular Income Payment is less than the Guaranteed Income Benefit, we will reduce the Account Value by the Regular Income Payment plus an additional amount equal to the difference between your Regular Income Payment and the Guaranteed Income Benefit (in other words, Guaranteed Income Benefit payments reduce the Account Value by the entire amount of the Guaranteed Income Benefit payment). (Regular Income Payments also reduce the Account Value.) This payment will be made from the variable Subaccounts and the fixed account proportionately, according to your investment allocations.

If your Account Value reaches zero as a result of payments to provide the Guaranteed Income Benefit, we will continue to pay you an amount equal to the Guaranteed Income Benefit. If your Account Value reaches zero, your Access Period will end and your Lifetime Income Period will begin. Additional amounts withdrawn from the Account Value to provide the Guaranteed Income Benefit may terminate your Access Period earlier than originally scheduled, and will reduce your Death Benefit. If your Account Value equals zero, no Death Benefit will be paid. See i4LIFE^® Advantage Death Benefits. After the Access Period ends, we will continue to pay the Guaranteed Income Benefit for as long as the Annuitant (or the Secondary Life, if applicable) is living.

The following example illustrates how poor investment performance, which results in a Guaranteed Income Benefit payment, affects the i4LIFE^® Account Value:

i4LIFE® Account Value before market decline	$135,000
i4LIFE® Account Value after market decline	$100,000
Guaranteed Income Benefit	$810
Regular Income Payment after market decline	$769
Account Value after market decline and Guaranteed Income Benefit payment	$99,190

The Contractowner receives an amount equal to the Guaranteed Income Benefit. The entire amount of the Guaranteed Income Benefit is deducted from the Account Value.

The Guaranteed Income Benefit will automatically step up every year to 75% of the current Regular Income Payment, if that result is greater than the immediately prior Guaranteed Income Benefit. For nonqualified contracts, the step-up will occur annually on the first Valuation Date on or after each Periodic Income Commencement Date anniversary starting on the first Periodic Income Commencement Date anniversary. For qualified contracts, the step-up will occur annually on the Valuation Date of the first periodic income payment of each calendar year. The first step-up is the Valuation Date of the first periodic income payment in the next calendar year following the Periodic Income Commencement Date.

The following example illustrates how the initial Guaranteed Income Benefit is calculated for a 60-year old Contractowner with a nonqualified contract, and how a step-up would increase the Guaranteed Income Benefit in a subsequent year. The percentage of the Account Value used to calculate the initial Guaranteed Income Benefit is 4.0% for a 60-year old (single life) per the Age-Banded Percentages for Calculating Initial Guaranteed Income Benefit for i4LIFE^® Advantage Elections table above. The example also assumes that the Account Value has increased due to positive investment returns resulting in a higher recalculated Regular Income Payment. See The Contracts – i4LIFE^® Advantage – Regular Income Payments during the Access Period for a discussion of recalculation of the Regular Income Payment.

8/1/2014 Amount of initial Regular Income Payment	$4,801
8/1/2014 Account Value at election of Guaranteed Income Benefit	$100,000
8/1/2014 Initial Guaranteed Income Benefit (4.0% times $100,000 Account Value)	$4,000
8/1/2015 Recalculated Regular Income Payment	$6,000
8/1/2015 Guaranteed Income Benefit after step-up (75% of $6,000)	$4,500

The Contractowner’s Guaranteed Income Benefit was increased to 75% of the recalculated Regular Income Payment.

At the time of a step-up of the Guaranteed Income Benefit the i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit percentage charge may increase subject to the maximum guaranteed charge of 2.00%. This means that your charge may change every year. If we automatically administer a new step-up for you and if your percentage charge is increased, you may ask us to reverse the step-up by giving us notice within 30 days after the date of the step-up. If we receive notice of your request to reverse the step-up, on a going forward basis, we will decrease the percentage charge to the percentage charge in effect before the step-up occurred. Any increased charges

102

paid between the time of the step-up and the date we receive your notice to reverse the step-up will not be reimbursed. Step-ups will continue after a request to reverse a step-up. i4LIFE^® Advantage charges are in addition to the Guaranteed Income Benefit charges. We will provide you with written notice when a step-up will result in an increase to the current charge so that you may give us timely notice if you wish to reverse a step-up.

The next section describes any differences in how the Guaranteed Income Benefit works for Guaranteed Income Benefit (version 3), Guaranteed Income Benefit (version 2) and Guaranteed Income Benefit (version 1). All other features of the Guaranteed Income Benefit not discussed below are the same as in Guaranteed Income Benefit (version 4).

Guaranteed Income Benefit (version 3). Guaranteed Income Benefit (version 3) was available for purchase on or after October 6, 2008 to December 31, 2010 or when Guaranteed Income Benefit (version 4) was approved in your state, whichever occurred later (unless version 3 is available for election at any time per the terms of your Living Benefit Rider). For Guaranteed Income Benefit (version 3) the Guaranteed Income Benefit is initially equal to 75% of the Regular Income Payment (which is based on your Account Value as defined in the i4LIFE^® Advantage rider section) in effect at the time the Guaranteed Income Benefit is elected.

The Guaranteed Income Benefit will automatically step up every year to 75% of the current Regular Income Payment, if that result is greater than the immediately prior Guaranteed Income Benefit. The step-up will occur on every Periodic Income Commencement Date anniversary during a 5-year step-up period. At the end of a step-up period you may elect a new step-up period by submitting a written request to the Home Office. If you prefer, when you start the Guaranteed Income Benefit, you can request that we administer this election for you.

At the time of a reset of the step-up period the i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit percentage charge may increase subject to the maximum guaranteed charge of 1.50%. This means that your charge may change, once every five years. If we administer a new step-up period for you at your election and if your percentage charge is increased, you may ask us to reverse the step-up by giving us notice within 30 days after the Periodic Income Commencement Date anniversary. If we receive this notice, on a going forward basis, we will decrease the percentage charge to the percentage charge in effect before the step-up occurred. Any increased charges paid between the time of the step-up and the date we receive your notice to reverse the step-up will not be reimbursed. After a request to reverse a step-up you will have no more step-ups unless you notify us that you wish to restart a new step-up period. i4LIFE^® Advantage charges are in addition to the Guaranteed Income Benefit charges. We will provide you with written notice when a step-up will result in an increase to the current charge so that you may give us timely notice if you wish to reverse a step-up.

Guaranteed Income Benefit (version 2). Guaranteed Income Benefit (version 2) was available for election prior to October 6, 2008 (unless version 2 is available for election at any time per the terms of your Living Benefit Rider). For Guaranteed Income Benefit (version 2) the Guaranteed Income Benefit is initially equal to 75% of the Regular Income Payment (which is based on your Account Value as defined in the i4LIFE^® Advantage rider section) in effect at the time the Guaranteed Income Benefit is elected.

The Guaranteed Income Benefit will automatically step-up every three years on the Periodic Income Commencement Date anniversary to 75% of the current Regular Income Payment, if the result is greater than the immediately prior Guaranteed Income Benefit. The step-up will occur on every third Periodic Income Commencement Date anniversary during a 15-year step-up period. At the end of a step-up period, you may elect a new 15-year step-up period by submitting a written request to the Home Office. If you prefer, when you start the Guaranteed Income Benefit, you can request that we administer this election for you.

At the time of a reset of the 15-year step-up period the i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit percentage charge may increase subject to the maximum guaranteed charge of 1.50%. This means that your charge may change, once every 15 years. If we administer a new step-up period for you at your election and if your percentage charge is increased, you may ask us to reverse the step-up by giving us notice within 30 days after the Periodic Income Commencement Date anniversary. If we receive this notice, on a going forward basis, we will decrease the percentage charge to the percentage charge in effect before the step-up occurred. Any increased charges paid between the time of the step-up and the date we receive your notice to reverse the step-up will not be reimbursed. After a request to reverse a step-up you will have no more step-ups unless you notify us that you wish to restart a new step-up period. i4LIFE^® Advantage charges are in addition to the Guaranteed Income Benefit charges. We will provide you with written notice when a step-up will result in an increase to the current charge so that you may give us timely notice if you wish to reverse a step-up.

Guaranteed Income Benefit (version 1). If you have Guaranteed Income Benefit (version 1), your Guaranteed Income Benefit will not step-up on an anniversary, but will remain level. This version is no longer available for election.

The next section describes certain guarantees in Living Benefit Riders relating to the election of the Guaranteed Income Benefit.

Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk). Contractowners who elect Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk) may decide to terminateLincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk) and purchase i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit (Managed Risk) in accordance with the same terms set out above for i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit (Managed Risk). If this decision is made, the Contractowner can use the greater of the Income Base under Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk) reduced by all Guaranteed Annual Income payments since the last Automatic Annual Step-up, or the Account Value to establish the Guaranteed Income Benefit under i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit (Managed Risk).

103

Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0. Contractowners who purchase Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 are guaranteed the ability in the future to purchase i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit (version 4) even if it is no longer available for purchase. They are also guaranteed that the Guaranteed Income Benefit percentages and Access Period requirements will be at least as favorable as those available at the time they purchased Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0. See The Contracts- Living Benefit Riders - Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0.

Contractowners with an active Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 rider may decide to terminate Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 and purchase i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit (version 4) in accordance with the terms set out above for i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit (version 4). If this decision is made, the Contractowner can use the Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 Income Base reduced by all Guaranteed Annual Income payments since the last Automatic Annual Step-up or since the rider’s effective date (if there has not been an Automatic Annual Step-up) if greater than the Account Value to establish the Guaranteed Income Benefit at the terms in effect for purchasers of this rider.

Lincoln SmartSecurity^® Advantage. Contractowners who purchased Lincoln SmartSecurity^® Advantage are guaranteed that they may use the remaining Guaranteed Amount (if greater than the Account Value) at the time the initial Guaranteed Income Benefit is determined, to calculate the Guaranteed Income Benefit. The initial Guaranteed Income Benefit will be equal to the applicable percentage based on either the Contractowner’s age (single life) or the youngest age of either the Contractowner or Secondary Life (if applicable), at the time the Guaranteed Income Benefit is elected, multiplied by the remaining Guaranteed Amount. The applicable percentage is found in the Age-Banded Percentages for Calculating Initial Guaranteed Income Benefit table above. In other words, the initial Guaranteed Income Benefit will equal the applicable percentage based on the Contractowner’s age multiplied by the remaining Guaranteed Amount (if greater than the Account Value).

The following is an example of how the Guaranteed Amount from Lincoln SmartSecurity^® Advantage or the Income Base from Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 may be used to calculate the i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit (version 4). The example assumes that on the date that i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit (version 4) is elected the Contractowner is 70 years of age and has made no withdrawals from the contract. The percentage of the Account Value used to calculate the initial Guaranteed Income Benefit is 4.5% for a 70-year old (single life) per the Age-Banded Percentages for Calculating Initial Guaranteed Income Benefit table above. The example assumes an annual payment mode has been elected.

Account Value (equals Contract Value on date i4LIFE® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit (version 4) is elected)	$100,000
Guaranteed Amount/Income Base on date i4LIFE® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit (version 4) is elected	$140,000
Amount of initial Regular Income Payment	$5,411	per year
Initial Guaranteed Income Benefit (4.5% x $140,000 Guaranteed Amount/Income Base which is greater than $100,000 Account Value)	$6,300

4LATER^® Advantage (Managed Risk). Contractowners who elect 4LATER^® Advantage (Managed Risk) must elect i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit (Managed Risk) in accordance with the same terms set out above for i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit (Managed Risk). When this decision is made, the Contractowner can use the greater of the Income Base under 4LATER^® Advantage (Managed Risk) or the Account Value to calculate the amount of the initial Guaranteed Income Benefit. All other provisions of i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit (Managed Risk) apply.

Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage. Contractowners who purchased Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage are guaranteed that they may use the remaining Guaranteed Amount (if greater than the Account Value) at the time the Guaranteed Income Benefit is determined, to increase the Guaranteed Income Benefit (version 2 or version 3 only). The Guaranteed Income Benefit will be increased by the ratio of the remaining Guaranteed Amount to the Contract Value at the time the initial i4LIFE^® Advantage payment is calculated. In other words, the Guaranteed Income Benefit will equal 75% of the initial Regular Income Payment times the remaining Guaranteed Amount divided by the Contract Value, if the Guaranteed Amount is greater than the Contract Value. See the Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage – i4LIFE^® Advantage Option section for an example of calculation of the Guaranteed Income Benefit using the purchased Lincoln Lifetime Income^SMAdvantage Guaranteed Amount.

Contractowners who purchased Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage may also choose to terminate Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage to purchase the version of the Guaranteed Income Benefit that is then currently available; however, only the Account Value and not the Guaranteed Amount will be used to establish the Guaranteed Income Benefit. For Guaranteed Income Benefit (version 4), the initial Guaranteed Income Benefit will be equal to the applicable percentage, which is based on the age of either the Contractowner (single life option) or the youngest age of either the Contractowner or Secondary Life (joint life option) at the time the Guaranteed Income Benefit is elected, multiplied by the Account Value. The applicable percentage is found in the Age-Banded Percentages for Calculating Initial Guaranteed Income Benefit for i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit (Managed Risk) elections table above.

Impacts to i4LIFE^® Advantage Regular Income Payments. When you select the i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit, certain restrictions will apply to your contract:

• A 4% assumed investment return (AIR) will be used to calculate the Regular Income Payments.

• The minimum Access Period required for Guaranteed Income Benefit (version 4) is the longer of 20 years (15 years for versions 2 and 3) or the difference between your age (nearest birthday) and age 100 (age 90 for version 4 prior to May 21, 2012; age 85 for versions 2 and 3). The minimum Access Period required for i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit (Managed Risk) is the longer of 20 years or the difference between your age (nearest birthday) and age 90. We may change this Access Period requirement prior to election of the Guaranteed Income Benefit. Different minimum Access Period requirements apply if you use the greater of the Account Value or Income Base (less amounts paid since the last Automatic Step-up) under Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0, Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk) or 4LATER^® Advantage (Managed Risk) to calculate the Guaranteed Income Benefit as set forth below:

Minimum Access Period
	Elections of i4LIFE® Advantage prior to the 5th Benefit Year anniversary	Elections of i4LIFE® Advantage on and after the 5th Benefit Year anniversary
Purchasers of Lincoln Lifetime IncomeSM Advantage 2.0 on or after April 2, 2012	Longer of 20 years or the difference between your age and age 100	Longer of 20 years or the difference between your age and age 95
Purchasers of Lincoln Lifetime IncomeSM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk)Purchasers of 4LATER® Advantage (Managed Risk)Purchasers of Lincoln Lifetime IncomeSM Advantage 2.0 prior to April 2, 2012	Longer of 20 years or the difference between your age and age 90	Longer of 15 years or the difference between your age and age 85

• The maximum Access Period available for this benefit is to age 115 for nonqualified contracts; to age 100 for qualified contracts.

If you choose to lengthen your Access Period (which must be increased by a minimum of 5 years), your Regular Income Payment will be reduced. For versions 1, 2 and 3 of the Guaranteed Income Benefit, an extension of your Access Period will also reduce your i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit in proportion to the reduction in the Regular Income Payment. This reduction of the i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit does not apply to Guaranteed Income Benefit (Managed Risk) or Guaranteed Income Benefit (version 4). If you choose to shorten your Access Period, i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit will terminate. Refer to the example in the 4LATER^® Guaranteed Income Benefit section of this prospectus.

The i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit will terminate due to any of the following events:

• the death of the Annuitant (or the later of the death of the Annuitant or Secondary Life if a joint payout was elected); or

• a Contractowner requested decrease in the Access Period or a change to the Regular Income Payment frequency; or

• upon written notice to us; or

• assignment of the contract; or

• failure to comply with Investment Requirements.

A termination due to a decrease in the Access Period, a change in the Regular Income Payment frequency, or upon written notice from the Contractowner will be effective as of the Valuation Date on the next Periodic Income Commencement Date anniversary. Termination will be only for the i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit and not the i4LIFE^® Advantage election, unless otherwise specified. However, if you used the greater of the Account Value or Income Base under Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk), Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 or 4LATER^® Advantage (Managed Risk) to establish the Guaranteed Income Benefit, any termination of the Guaranteed Income Benefit will also result in a termination of the i4LIFE^® Advantage election. If you used your Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage Guaranteed Amount to establish the Guaranteed Income Benefit, you must keep i4LIFE^® Advantage and the Guaranteed Income Benefit in effect for at least 3 years. If you terminate the i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit you may be able to re-elect it, if available, after one year. The election will be treated as a new purchase, subject to the terms and charges in effect at the time of election and the i4LIFE^® Advantage Regular Income Payments will be recalculated. The i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit will be based on the Account Value at the time of the election.

Availability. The Guaranteed Income Benefit is available with qualified (IRAs and Roth IRAs) and nonqualified annuity contracts. The Contractowner must be under age 96 for nonqualified contracts and under age 81 for qualified contracts at the time this rider is

105

elected. Guaranteed Income Benefit (Managed Risk) and Guaranteed Income Benefit (version 4) are the only versions of the Guaranteed Income Benefit currently available for election unless you are guaranteed the right to elect a prior version under the terms of your Living Benefit Rider.

Withdrawals. You may request a withdrawal at any time prior to or during the Access Period. We reduce the Account Value by the amount of the withdrawal, and all subsequent Regular Income Payments and Guaranteed Income Benefit payments, if applicable, will be recalculated. The Guaranteed Income Benefit is reduced proportionately. Withdrawals may have tax consequences. See Federal Tax Matters. Withdrawals are subject to any applicable surrender charges except when amounts may be withdrawn free of surrender charges. See Charges and Other Deductions. The Interest Adjustment may apply.

The following example demonstrates the impact of a withdrawal on the Regular Income Payments and the Guaranteed Income Benefit payments:

i4LIFE® Regular Income Payment before Withdrawal	$1,200
Guaranteed Income Benefit before Withdrawal	$900
Account Value at time of Additional Withdrawal	$150,000
Additional Withdrawal	$15,000	(a 10% withdrawal)

Reduction in Guaranteed Income Benefit for Withdrawal = $900 x 10% = $90
Guaranteed Income Benefit after Withdrawal = $900 - $90 = $810

Surrender. At any time prior to or during the Access Period, you may surrender the contract by withdrawing the surrender value. If the contract is surrendered, the contract terminates and no further Regular Income Payments will be made. Withdrawals are subject to any applicable surrender charges except when amounts may be withdrawn free of surrender charges. See Charges and Other Deductions. The Interest Adjustment may apply.

Termination. For IRA annuity contracts, you may terminate i4LIFE^® Advantage prior to the end of the Access Period by notifying us in writing. The termination will be effective on the next Valuation Date after we receive the notice and your contract will return to the accumulation phase. Your i4LIFE^® Advantage Death Benefit will terminate and you may choose the Guarantee of Principal (if you had the i4LIFE^® Advantage Guarantee of Principal Death Benefit) or Account Value Death Benefit options. Upon termination, we will stop assessing the charge for i4LIFE^® Advantage and begin assessing the mortality and expense risk charge and administrative charge associated with the new Death Benefit option. Your Contract Value upon termination will be equal to the Account Value on the Valuation Date we terminate i4LIFE^® Advantage.

For nonqualified contracts, you may not terminate i4LIFE^® Advantage once you have elected it.

4LATER^® Advantage

The 4LATER^® Advantage rider is no longer available for purchase.

4LATER^® Advantage (or “4LATER^®”) is a rider that protects against market loss by providing you with a method to receive a minimum payout from your annuity. The rider provides an Income Base (described below) prior to the time you begin taking payouts from your annuity. If you elected4LATER^® Advantage, you must elect i4LIFE^® Advantage with the 4LATER^® Guaranteed Income Benefit to receive a benefit from 4LATER^® Advantage. Election of these riders may limit how much you can invest in certain Subaccounts. See The Contracts – Investment Requirements. See Charges and Other Deductions for a discussion of the 4LATER^® Advantage charge.

4LATER^® Advantage Before Payouts Begin

The following discussion applies to 4LATER^® Advantage during the accumulation phase of your annuity, referred to as 4LATER^®. This is prior to the time any payouts begin under i4LIFE^® Advantage with the 4LATER^® Guaranteed Income Benefit.

Income Base. The Income Base is a value established when you purchase 4LATER^® and will only be used to calculate the minimum payouts available under your contract at a later date. The Income Base is not available for withdrawals or as a Death Benefit. If you elect 4LATER^® at the time you purchase the contract, the Income Base initially equals the Purchase Payments. If you elect 4LATER^® after we issue the contract, the Income Base will initially equal the Contract Value on the 4LATER^® effective date. Additional Purchase Payments automatically increase the Income Base by the amount of the Purchase Payments . After the first anniversary of the rider effective date, once cumulative additional Purchase Payments exceed $100,000, additional Purchase Payments will be limited to $50,000 per Benefit Year without Home Office approval. Additional Purchase Payments will not be allowed if the Contract Value is zero. Each withdrawal reduces the Income Base in the same proportion as the amount withdrawn reduces the Contract Value on the Valuation Date of the withdrawal.

As described below, during the accumulation phase, the Income Base will be automatically enhanced by 15% (adjusted for additional Purchase Payments and withdrawals as described in the Future Income Base section below) at the end of each Waiting Period. In addition, after the Initial Waiting Period, you may elect to reset your Income Base to the current Contract Value if your Contract Value has grown beyond the 15% enhancement. You may elect this reset on your own or you may choose to have Lincoln Life automatically

106

reset the Income Base for you at the end of each Waiting Period. These reset options are discussed below. Then, when you are ready to elect i4LIFE^® Advantage and establish the 4LATER^® Guaranteed Income Benefit, the Income Base (if higher than the Contract Value) is used in the 4LATER^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit calculation.

Waiting Period. The Waiting Period is each consecutive 3-year period which begins on the 4LATER^® Effective Date, or on the date of any reset of the Income Base to the Contract Value. At the end of each completed Waiting Period, the Income Base is increased by 15% (as adjusted for Purchase Payments and withdrawals) to equal the Future Income Base as discussed below. The Waiting Period is also the amount of time that must pass before the Income Base can be reset to the current Contract Value. A new Waiting Period begins after each reset and must be completed before the next 15% enhancement or another reset occurs.

Future Income Base.4LATER^® provides a 15% automatic enhancement to the Income Base after a 3-year Waiting Period. This enhancement will continue every 3 years until i4LIFE^® Advantage is elected, you terminate 4LATER^® or you reach the Maximum Income Base. See Maximum Income Base. During the Waiting Period, the Future Income Base is established to provide the value of this 15% enhancement on the Income Base. After each 3-year Waiting Period is satisfied, the Income Base is increased to equal the value of the Future Income Base. The 4LATER^® charge will then be assessed on this newly adjusted Income Base, but the percentage charge will not change.

Any Purchase Payment made after the 4LATER^® Effective Date, but within 90 days of the contract effective date, will increase the Future Income Base by the amount of the Purchase Payment, plus 15% of that Purchase Payment.

elected on a Design 1 contract Example:

Initial Purchase Payment	$100,000
Purchase Payment 60 days later	$10,000
Income Base	$110,000
Future Income Base (during the 1st Waiting Period)	$126,500	($110,000 x 115%)
Income Base (after 1st Waiting Period)	$126,500
New Future Income Base (during 2nd Waiting Period)	$145,475	($126,500 x 115%)

Any Purchase Payments made after the 4LATER^® Effective Date and more than 90 days after the contract effective date will increase the Future Income Base by the amount of the Purchase Payment plus 15% of that Purchase Payment proportionately for the number of full years remaining in the current Waiting Period.

elected on a Design 1 contract Example:

Income Base	$100,000
Purchase Payment in Year 2	$10,000
New Income Base	$110,000
Future Income Base (during 1st Waiting Period-Year 2)	$125,500	($100,000 x 115%) +
		($10,000 x 100%) +
		($10,000 x 15% x 1/3)
Income Base (after 1st Waiting Period)	$125,500
New Future Income Base (during 2nd Waiting Period)	$144,325	(125,500 x 115%)

Withdrawals reduce the Future Income Base in the same proportion as the amount withdrawn reduces the Contract Value on the Valuation Date of the withdrawal.

During any subsequent Waiting Periods, if you elect to reset the Income Base to the Contract Value, the Future Income Base will equal 115% of the Contract Value on the date of the reset and a new Waiting Period will begin. See Resets of the Income Base to the current Contract Value below.

In all situations, the Future Income Base is subject to the Maximum Income Base described below. The Future Income Base is never available to the Contractowner to establish a 4LATER^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit, but is the value the Income Base will become at the end of the Waiting Period.

Maximum Income Base. The Maximum Income Base is equal to 200% of the Income Base on the 4LATER^® Effective Date. The Maximum Income Base will be increased by 200% of any additional Purchase Payments. In all circumstances, the Maximum Income Base can never exceed $10,000,000. This maximum takes into consideration the combined guaranteed amounts from any Living Benefit Riders under all Lincoln Life contracts (or contracts issued by our affiliates) owned by you or on which you are the Annuitant.

After a reset to the current Contract Value, the Maximum Income Base will equal 200% of the Contract Value on the Valuation Date of the reset not to exceed $10,000,000.

107

Each withdrawal will reduce the Maximum Income Base in the same proportion as the amount withdrawn reduces the Contract Value on the Valuation Date of the withdrawal.

Example:

Income Base	$100,000	Maximum Income Base	$200,000
Purchase Payment in Year 2	$ 10,000	Increase to Maximum Income Base	$ 20,000
New Income Base	$110,000	New Maximum Income Base	$220,000
Future Income Base after Purchase Payment	$125,500	Maximum Income Base	$220,000
Income Base (after 1st Waiting Period)	$125,500
Future Income Base (during 2nd Waiting Period)	$144,325	Maximum Income Base	$220,000
Contract Value in Year 4	$112,000
Withdrawal of 10%	$ 11,200
After Withdrawal (10% adjustment)
Contract Value	$100,800
Income Base	$112,950
Future Income Base	$129,892	Maximum Income Base	$198,000

Resets of the Income Base to the current Contract Value (“Resets”). You may elect to reset the Income Base to the current Contract Value at any time after the initial Waiting Period following: (a) the 4LATER^® Effective Date or (b) any prior reset of the Income Base. Resets are subject to a maximum of $10,000,000 and the Annuitant must be under age 81. You might consider resetting the Income Base if your Contract Value has increased above the Income Base (including the 15% automatic Enhancements) and you want to lock-in this increased amount to use when setting the Guaranteed Income Benefit. If the Income Base is reset to the Contract Value, the 15% automatic Enhancement will not apply until the end of the next Waiting Period.

This reset may be elected by sending a written request to our Home Office or by specifying at the time of purchase that you would like us to administer this reset election for you. If you want us to administer this reset for you, at the end of each 3-year Waiting Period, if the Contract Value is higher than the Income Base (after the Income Base has been reset to the Future Income Base), we will implement this election and the Income Base will be equal to the Contract Value on that date. We will notify you that a reset has occurred. This will continue until you elect i4LIFE^® Advantage, the Annuitant reaches age 81, or you reach the Maximum Income Base. If we administer this reset election for you, you have 30 days after the election to notify us if you wish to reverse this election and have your Income Base increased to the Future Income Base instead. You may wish to reverse this election if you are not interested in the increased charge. If the Contract Value is less than the Income Base on any reset date, we will not administer this reset. We will not attempt to administer another reset until the end of the next 3-year Waiting Period; however, you have the option to request a reset during this period by sending a written request to our Home Office.

At the time of each reset (whether you elect the reset or we administer the reset for you), the annual charge will change to the current charge in effect at the time of the reset, not to exceed the guaranteed maximum charge. At the time of reset, a new Waiting Period will begin. Subsequent resets may be elected at the end of each new Waiting Period. The reset will be effective on the next Valuation Date after notice of the reset is approved by us.

We reserve the right to restrict resets to Benefit Year anniversaries. The Benefit Year is the 12-month period starting with the 4LATER^® Effective Date and starting with each anniversary of the 4LATER^® Effective Date after that. If the Contractowner elects to reset the Income Base, the Benefit Year will begin on the effective date of the reset and each anniversary of the effective date of the reset after that.

Eligibility. To have purchased 4LATER^® Advantage, the Annuitant must have been age 80 or younger. If you plan to elect i4LIFE^® Advantage within three years of the issue date of 4LATER^® Advantage, you will not receive the benefit of the Future Income Base. i4LIFE^® Advantage with 4LATER^® Guaranteed Income Benefit must be elected by age 85 for qualified contracts or age 99 for nonqualified contracts.

4LATER^® Rider Effective Date. If 4LATER^® was elected at contract issue, then it became effective on the contract's effective date. If 4LATER^® was elected after the contract was issued, then it became effective on the next Valuation Date following approval by us.

4LATER^® Guaranteed Income Benefit

When you are ready to elect i4LIFE^® Advantage Regular Income Payments, the greater of the Income Base accumulated under 4LATER^® or the Contract Value will be used to calculate the 4LATER^® Guaranteed Income Benefit. The 4LATER^® Guaranteed Income Benefit is a minimum payout floor for your i4LIFE^® Advantage Regular Income Payments. See Charges and Other Deductions for a discussion of the 4LATER^® Guaranteed Income Benefit charge.

The Guaranteed Income Benefit will be determined by dividing the greater of the Income Base or Contract Value (or Guaranteed Amount if applicable) on the Periodic Income Commencement Date, by 1000 and multiplying the result by the rate per $1000 from the

108

Guaranteed Income Benefit Table in your 4LATER^® rider. If the Contract Value is used to establish the 4LATER^® Guaranteed Income Benefit, this rate provides a Guaranteed Income Benefit not less than 75% of the initial i4LIFE^® Advantage Regular Income Payment (which is also based on the Contract Value). If the Income Base is used to establish the Guaranteed Income Benefit (because it is larger than the Contract Value), the resulting Guaranteed Income Benefit will be more than 75% of the initial i4LIFE^® Advantage Regular Income Payment.

If the amount of your i4LIFE^® Advantage Regular Income Payment (which is based on your i4LIFE^® Advantage Account Value) has fallen below the 4LATER^® Guaranteed Income Benefit, because of poor investment results, a payment equal to the 4LATER^® Guaranteed Income Benefit is the minimum payment you will receive. If the 4LATER^® Guaranteed Income Benefit is paid, it will be paid with the same frequency as your i4LIFE^® Advantage Regular Income Payment. If your Regular Income Payment is less than the 4LATER^® Guaranteed Income Benefit, we will reduce your i4LIFE^® Advantage Account Value by the Regular Income Payment plus an additional amount equal to the difference between your Regular Income Payment and the 4LATER^® Guaranteed Income Benefit. This withdrawal from your Account Value will be made from the Subaccounts and the fixed account proportionately according to your investment allocations.

The following example illustrates how poor investment performance, which results in a Guaranteed Income Benefit payment, affects the i4LIFE^® Account Value:

i4LIFE® Account Value before market decline	$135,000
i4LIFE® Account Value after market decline	$100,000
Guaranteed Income Benefit	$810
Regular Income Payment after market decline	$769
Account Value after market decline and Guaranteed Income Benefit payment	$99,190

If your Account Value reaches zero as a result of withdrawals to provide the 4LATER^® Guaranteed Income Benefit, we will continue to pay you an amount equal to the 4LATER^® Guaranteed Income Benefit.

When your Account Value reaches zero, your i4LIFE^® Advantage Access Period will end and the i4LIFE^® Advantage Lifetime Income Period will begin. Additional amounts withdrawn from the Account Value to provide the 4LATER^® Guaranteed Income Benefit may terminate your Access Period earlier than originally scheduled and will reduce your Death Benefit. See i4LIFE^® Advantage Death Benefits. After the Access Period ends, we will continue to pay the 4LATER^® Guaranteed Income Benefit for as long as the Annuitant (or the Secondary Life, if applicable) is living (i.e., the i4LIFE^® Advantage Lifetime Income Period). If your Account Value equals zero, no Death Benefit will be paid.

If the market performance in your contract is sufficient to provide Regular Income Payments at a level that exceeds the 4LATER^® Guaranteed Income Benefit, the 4LATER^® Guaranteed Income Benefit will never come into effect.

The 4LATER^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit will automatically step-up every three years to 75% of the then current Regular Income Payment, if that result is greater than the immediately prior 4LATER^® Guaranteed Income Benefit. The step-up will occur on every third Periodic Income Commencement Date anniversary for 15 years. At the end of a 15-year step-up period, the Contractowner may elect a new 15-year step-up period by submitting a written request to the Home Office. If you prefer, when you start the Guaranteed Income Benefit, you can request that Lincoln Life administer this election for you. At the time of a reset of the 15 year period, the charge for the 4LATER^® Guaranteed Income Benefit will become the current charge up to the guaranteed maximum charge of 1.50% (i4LIFE^® Advantage charges are in addition to the Guaranteed Income Benefit charge). After we administer this election, you have 30 days to notify us if you wish to reverse the election (because you do not wish to incur the additional cost). If we receive this notice, we will decrease the percentage charge, on a going forward basis, to the percentage charge in effect before the step-up occurred.

Additional Purchase Payments cannot be made to your contract after the Periodic Income Commencement Date. The 4LATER^® Guaranteed Income Benefit is reduced by withdrawals (other than Regular Income Payments) in the same proportion that the withdrawals reduce the Account Value. You may want to discuss the impact of additional withdrawals with your registered representative.

Impacts to i4LIFE^® Advantage Regular Income Payments. At the time you elect i4LIFE^® Advantage, you also select the Access Period. See i4LIFE^® Advantage – Access Period. Generally, shorter Access Periods will produce a higher initial i4LIFE^® Advantage Regular Income Payment and higher Guaranteed Income Benefit payments than longer Access Periods. The minimum Access Period required with the 4LATER^® Guaranteed Income Benefit currently is the longer of 15 years or the difference between your current age (nearest birthday) and age 85. We reserve the right to increase this minimum prior to election of 4LATER^® Advantage, subject to the terms in your rider. (Note: i4LIFE^® Advantage may allow a shorter Access Period if a Guaranteed Income Benefit is not provided.)

If you choose to lengthen your Access Period at a later date, thereby recalculating and reducing your Regular Income Payment, your 4LATER^® Guaranteed Income Benefit will also be recalculated and reduced. The 4LATER^® Guaranteed Income Benefit will be adjusted in proportion to the reduction in the Regular Income Payment. If you choose to shorten your Access Period, the 4LATER^® rider will terminate.

109

When you make your 4LATER^® Guaranteed Income Benefit and i4LIFE^® Advantage elections, you must also choose an assumed investment return of 4% to calculate your i4LIFE^® Advantage Regular Income Payments. Once you have elected 4LATER^®, the assumed investment return rate will not change.

The following is an example of what happens when you extend the Access Period:

Assume:
i4LIFE^® Advantage remaining Access Period = 10 years
Current i4LIFE^® Advantage Regular Income Payment = $6,375
Current 4LATER^® Guaranteed Income Benefit = $5,692

Extend Access Period 5 years:
i4LIFE^® Advantage Regular Income Payment after extension = $5,355
Percentage change in i4LIFE^® Advantage Regular Income Payment = $5,355 ÷ $6,375 = 84%
New 4LATER^® Guaranteed Income Benefit = $5,692 x 84% = $4,781

Termination. After the later of the third anniversary of the 4LATER^® rider Effective Date or the most recent Reset, the 4LATER^® rider may be terminated upon written notice to us. Prior to the Periodic Income Commencement Date, 4LATER^® will automatically terminate upon any of the following events:

• termination of the contract to which the 4LATER^® rider is attached;

• the change of or the death of the Annuitant (except if the surviving spouse assumes ownership of the contract and the role of the Annuitant upon death of the Contractowner); or

• the change of Contractowner (except if the surviving spouse assumes ownership of the contract and the role of Annuitant upon the death of the Contractowner), including the assignment of the contract; or

• the last day that you can elect i4LIFE^® Advantage (age 85 for qualified contracts and age 99 for nonqualified contracts).

After the Periodic Income Commencement Date, the 4LATER^® rider will terminate due to any of the following events:

• the death of the Annuitant (or the later of the death of the Annuitant or Secondary Life if a joint payout was elected); or

• a Contractowner requested decrease in the Access Period or a change to the Regular Income Payment frequency.

A termination due to a decrease in the Access Period, a change in the Regular Income Payment frequency, or upon written notice from the Contractowner will be effective as of the Valuation Date on the next Periodic Income Commencement Date anniversary. Termination will be only for the 4LATER^® Guaranteed Income Benefit and not the i4LIFE^® Advantage election, unless otherwise specified.

If you terminate 4LATER^® prior to the Periodic Income Commencement Date, you must wait one year before you can elect another Living Benefit Rider. The Lincoln Long-Term Care^SM Advantage rider cannot be elected after the contract is purchased. If you terminate the 4LATER^® rider on or after the Periodic Income Commencement Date, you cannot re-elect it. You may be able to elect any available version of the Guaranteed Income Benefit after one year. The Guaranteed Income Benefit will be based on the Account Value at the time of the election. The election of one of these benefits, if available, will be treated as a new purchase, subject to the terms and charges in effect at the time of election.

Lincoln Long-Term Care^SM Advantage

The Lincoln Long-Term Care^SM Advantage Rider (the “LTC Rider”) provides a way to manage the potential impact of long-term care expenses. The LTC Rider provides the potential to receive as LTC Benefits your Purchase Payments plus an additional amount equal to two times your Purchase Payments. These benefits are paid to you income tax-free. In addition, you have the opportunity to increase your tax-free long-term care benefits if there is investment gain in your contract. The LTC Rider provides monthly benefit payments (“Long-Term Care Benefits” or “LTC Benefits”) in the event: (1) you are “Chronically Ill,” which means you are either unable to perform two out of six functional activities of daily living (such as feeding yourself, bathing, or dressing) or you suffer from a severe cognitive impairment that requires substantial supervision, and (2) you are receiving long-term care services that qualify for coverage under the LTC Rider (“Long-Term Care Services”). Long-Term Care Services include, but are not limited to, nursing home care, hospice care, adult day care, assisted living services, home health care and rehabilitative services.

If you purchase the LTC Rider, you may not make any additional Purchase Payments more than 90 days from the contract date. Accordingly, you should plan on making enough Purchase Payments to fund your anticipated needs under the contract during the first 90 days. Even then, the LTC Rider may not cover all of the long-term care expenses incurred by you during the period of coverage. On the other hand, you may never need long-term care services or, even if you do, you may never qualify to receive any of the benefits provided under this LTC Rider even though you have paid a charge(s) for the LTC Rider. Accordingly, we strongly advise you to review carefully all contract and rider limitations. The risks associated with the LTC Rider are outlined below.

The LTC Rider, if purchased, must be elected at the time you purchase your contract and may not be added to existing contracts. While the LTC Rider is in force, you may not purchase any of the other Living Benefit Riders that we offer. By purchasing the LTC Rider, you will be limited in how you may invest and must adhere to Investment Requirements. See The Contracts – Investment Requirements.

The features and charges for this rider and also the terms and definitions will vary in certain states. You should discuss the specific provisions applicable to your state with your registered representative. Your rider will contain the specific provisions applicable to you. This rider is not available for Design 3 contracts.

Why would I want to purchase the LTC Rider? Some of the reasons why you may consider purchasing the LTC Rider are:

• you would like to pay for Long-Term Care Services by withdrawing your Contract Value on a tax-free basis and without any surrender charges;

• for the potential of receiving, in addition to your Contract Value, up to two times your Purchase Payments in tax-free LTC Benefit payments that we pay from our own assets in our general account during the Extension Benefit period;

• for the favorable tax treatment of the charges deducted in order to pay for the LTC Rider (compared to taking a withdrawal from an annuity contract to pay premiums on a traditional stand-alone long-term care insurance policy);

• for the opportunity to receive investment gain in the contract as tax-free LTC Benefits, if you purchase the Growth Benefit option;

• you want long-term care insurance, but want to retain the ability to access your Contract Value for emergencies (although this could reduce or terminate the LTC Rider), a feature that may not be available in stand-alone long-term care insurance policies; and

• you want long-term care insurance, but at the same time you want to retain the ability to have a Death Benefit, a feature that may not be available in stand-alone long-term care insurance policies (although you should understand that Acceleration Benefit payments and Growth Benefit payments are considered withdrawals that reduce the amount of the Death Benefit).

Are there ways I can pay long-term care expenses under the contract other than by purchasing the LTC Rider?

• You can always access your Contract Value through conventional withdrawals from your contract, even if you have not elected to purchase the LTC Rider. However, withdrawals may be subject to surrender charges, income taxes (as investment gains, if any, are deemed to be withdrawn first), and if taken before age 59½, penalty taxes. Such withdrawals also would be limited to your Contract Value, which may decrease. Withdrawals may be taken to cover long-term care expenses for yourself or anyone else. LTC Benefits, on the other hand, are subject to favorable tax treatment, would not have any surrender charges, and may exceed the amount of Contract Value you would otherwise have had available. LTC Benefits may be received only if you are the Covered Life.

• You can also access your Contract Value through conventional annuity payments, even if you have not elected to purchase the LTC Rider. However, while not fully taxable until cost basis has been returned, such payments are not tax-free and are intended to provide protected income payments over an extended lifetime. LTC Benefits, however, may be taken over a shorter period of time (as short as six years) and are received tax-free.

• We offer other Living Benefit Riders that provide a guaranteed income stream and/or a guaranteed withdrawal benefit that may be used to pay for long-term care services. Like the LTC Rider, benefit payments under these riders may exceed Contract Value, but it may take you 20 years or more to receive them. In addition, these other Living Benefit Riders are not Qualified Long-Term Care insurance and their benefits cannot be received tax-free, even if used to pay long-term care expenses. On the other hand, the cost of the LTC Rider may be higher than the cost of other Living Benefit Riders we sell, and the procedures to determine eligibility and to request benefits under the LTC Rider are more extensive than those required to receive benefits under other Living Benefit Riders. In any case, you will be unable to purchase any other Living Benefit Rider that we may offer if you purchase the LTC Rider. See The Contracts – Living Benefit Riders.

• You may also speak to your registered representative about other ways to pay for long-term care expenses. There are insurance contracts, other than annuities, which provide long-term care benefits and there may also be programs offered by your state.

How do I qualify for LTC Benefits? If, after the first Contract Year (subject to state variations), you become Chronically Ill and are receiving Long-Term Care Services, you may receive monthly LTC Benefit payments under the LTC Rider. Chronically Ill means you are either unable to perform two out of six functional activities of daily living (such as feeding yourself, bathing, or dressing) or you suffer from a severe cognitive impairment that requires substantial supervision. You should understand that although you may begin receiving LTC Benefits at any time after the first Contract Year, the LTC Rider was designed optimally for LTC Benefits to be paid on or after the 5^th contract anniversary.

Importantly, the LTC Rider is not self-effecting and you must satisfy all of the conditions, and take the necessary steps to apply and qualify for, and then maintain your eligibility for, benefits under the LTC Rider. For example, a licensed health care practitioner must certify in a written assessment that you are Chronically Ill, and also complete a plan of care for you, which is a written plan of care that is developed based on your written assessment and specifies the type, frequency and duration of all Long-Term Care Services you will need (“Plan of Care”). In addition, you must wait 90 days after the date that you start to receive Long-Term Care Services before we will start paying LTC Benefits (the “deductible period”). Once we have determined that you are eligible for benefits, you may submit a Request for Benefits form. The Request for Benefits form will be used to pay LTC Benefits for a period of up to three months. You will need to provide a new Request for Benefits form to continue to receive LTC Benefits beyond the period requested in the Request for Benefits form.

How do LTC Benefits impact my Contract Value? LTC Benefits may be paid out of your Contract Value or from our own assets in our general account. In general, the LTC Rider allows you first to access your own Contract Value on a tax-free basis until you either

111

receive your Purchase Payments or your entire Contract Value is depleted, whichever occurs first. At that time, if you are still living, we will continue to make the same tax-free payments to you from our own assets in our general account for a designated period of time or until your death, if earlier. Because we transfer some or all of your Contract Value to the LTC Fixed Account (which is part of our general account) on the date we make the determination of your initial eligibility to receive LTC Benefits, all LTC Benefit payments are subject to claims of our general creditors and to the claims-paying ability of Lincoln Life. If you begin receiving LTC Benefits and then stop receiving LTC Benefits for twelve consecutive months, we will allow you to transfer in installments the Contract Value in the LTC Fixed Account back to the Subaccounts. See LTC Fixed Account.

Are the LTC Benefit payments tax-free? The LTC Rider is a Qualified Long-Term Care Insurance Policy under Section 7702B(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Any LTC Benefits paid under the LTC Rider, as well as any charges deducted under the Rider, will not be reported as taxable income to you, subject to the Internal Revenue Code limitations.

What are the LTC Benefits? There are two primary LTC Benefits: the Acceleration Benefit and the Extension Benefit. There is also an additional optional LTC Benefit – the Growth Benefit – that is available for an additional charge. The Acceleration and Growth Benefits are calculated based on the LTC Guaranteed Amount. The initial Extension Benefit is calculated based on the initial Acceleration Benefit and will be double the dollar amount of the Acceleration Benefit. The LTC Guaranteed Amount initially is equal to the Acceleration Benefit, which is your initial Purchase Payment and any subsequent Purchase Payments made in the first 90 days after purchase. (If you purchase the LTC Rider, you may not make additional Purchase Payments more than 90 days after purchase.) If you elect the Growth Benefit option, the LTC Guaranteed Amount increases annually by the amount of investment gain, if any, in the Subaccounts and any fixed account in which you are invested through Automatic Step-ups. You should understand that the LTC Guaranteed Amount is not available to you as a lump sum withdrawal or as a Death Benefit. Payment of Acceleration Benefits and Growth Benefits decrease the LTC Guaranteed Amount by the amount of the respective LTC Benefit payment. The LTC Guaranteed Amount is also reduced, but on a proportional basis, by certain withdrawals that exceed a specified percentage of the amount that the Contract Value exceeds the LTC Guaranteed Amount, called “Excess Withdrawals.” The Extension Benefit is also reduced by Excess Withdrawals.

• Acceleration Benefit: The first payments we will make under the LTC Rider will be Acceleration Benefits, which are paid out of your Contract Value. The Acceleration Benefit is not affected by investment results. Acceleration Benefits are paid from your Contract Value; however, if your Contract Value is reduced to zero before the Acceleration Benefit is paid, we will make remaining payments from our own assets in our general account.

• Extension Benefit: When the Acceleration Benefit is reduced to zero, we will pay you Extension Benefit payments. Extension Benefits are paid from our general account. This means that, while Acceleration Benefits are funded in whole or in part by your Contract Value, we will make Extension Benefit payments from our own assets in our general account. The initial Extension Benefit will be double the dollar amount of the initial Acceleration Benefit. The Extension Benefit is not affected by investment results.

• Growth Benefit: If you are interested in potentially being able to “lock in” any investment gains in your contract with respect to your LTC Rider, you may purchase the Growth Benefit option at issue for an additional charge. The Growth Benefit option increases the LTC Guaranteed Amount annually by the amount of investment gain, if any, in the Subaccounts and any fixed account in which you are invested through Automatic Step-ups. Automatic Step-ups occur annually through age 75 or until you reach the maximum LTC Guaranteed Amount of $800,000, whichever occurs earlier. If you do not purchase the Growth Benefit option, any investment gain will not increase your LTC Benefit payments. While you can withdraw any gains from your Contract Value the same way you make regular withdrawals from your contract, doing so could have a negative impact on your LTC Benefits, as described in more detail below. If you elect the Growth Benefit option, you will not be able to make any Conforming Withdrawals and all withdrawals will be Excess Withdrawals that negatively impact your LTC Benefits. Conforming and Excess Withdrawals are described below in more detail. Once you begin receiving LTC Benefits and Contract Value is moved to the LTC Fixed Account, the Contract Value in the LTC Fixed Account will only increase by the amount of interest credited to the LTC Fixed Account. Growth Benefits are paid from your Contract Value; however, if your Contract Value is reduced to zero due to withdrawals and/or adverse investment experience of the Subaccounts before the locked-in Growth Benefit is paid, we will make remaining payments from our general account.

When are LTC Benefits paid? LTC Benefits are paid monthly, and you tell us the monthly amount that you want to receive up to a maximum monthly amount over a designated period of time. If you are residing in a nursing home or are receiving hospice care, you may request monthly payments up to the full monthly maximum, described below. Contractowners in certain states may also request up to the full monthly maximum for assisted living services. However, if you are eligible and qualify for other qualified Long-Term Care Services (such as home health care or adult day care) but are not residing in a nursing home or receiving hospice care, you may only request up to 50% of the monthly maximum. Contractowners in the following states may only request up to 50% of the monthly maximum for assisted living services: AK, AL, AR, AZ, DC, DE, GA, IA, KY, LA, MD, ME, MI, MO, MS, MT, NC, ND, NE, NM, OK, OR, RI, SC, SD, WV, WY. See Determining LTC Benefits – Maximum Monthly Level Benefit and Maximum Monthly Growth Benefit for a more detailed description.

The Acceleration Benefit will be paid monthly over a period of time known as the “Acceleration Benefit Duration.” The Acceleration Benefit Duration will be at least 24 months, but may be longer if you take payments in early Contract Years, or if you take less than the maximum permitted. After the Acceleration Benefit Duration ends, the Extension Benefit will then be paid over a period of time known as the “Extension Benefit Duration.” The Extension Benefit Duration is twice the length of the Acceleration Benefit Duration. Growth

112

Benefit payments are spread over both the Acceleration Benefit Duration and the Extension Benefit Duration. The Acceleration Benefit Duration and the Extension Benefit Duration together make up the LTC Benefit Duration. The Acceleration Benefit Duration and Extension Benefit Duration will usually run consecutively and without interruption unless you voluntarily elect to stop payments or become ineligible to receive LTC Benefits. The LTC Benefit Durations would resume if you elect to restart payments or become eligible to receive LTC Benefits.

On the contract date, the Acceleration Benefit Duration is 84 months (i.e., 7 years), so it would take you 84 months (e.g., 7 years) to receive the total Acceleration Benefit. However, the Acceleration Benefit Duration shortens each year until the 5^th contract anniversary, when the Acceleration Benefit Duration will be its shortest duration of 24 months (i.e., 2 years). Equally important, as the Acceleration Benefit Duration shortens, the maximum monthly amounts under the LTC Rider increase. If you wait to request to begin receiving LTC Benefit payments until the 5^th contract anniversary or after, you will maximize the monthly LTC Benefit payment available to you. For example, if you wait to request to begin receiving LTC Benefit payments until the 5^th contract anniversary, the Acceleration Benefit Duration will be 24 months, and the Extension Benefit Period will be 48 months, or twice the Acceleration Benefit Period, making the LTC Benefit Duration 72 months. The Growth Benefit would be paid over all 72 months (over both the Acceleration Benefit Duration and the Extension Benefit Duration). If you take less than the maximum monthly amount (by choice or by the 50% limitation applied to non-nursing home/non-hospice care), you will extend the Acceleration Benefit Duration (and thus the Extension Benefit Duration).

How do withdrawals affect my LTC Benefits? The LTC Rider may permit limited withdrawals of Contract Value on an annual basis that will not impact your LTC Benefit payments. You may withdraw each year (and in addition to LTC Benefit payments, if you happen to be receiving these at the same time) up to 5% of the amount that your Contract Value exceeds the LTC Guaranteed Amount (if there is any such excess) as of the immediately preceding contract anniversary, without a decrease in the LTC Benefits. Such withdrawals are referred to as “Conforming Withdrawals.” However, the amount of withdrawals that exceed 5% of any excess of the Contract Value over the LTC Guaranteed Amount will be an “Excess Withdrawal.” This means if the LTC Guaranteed Amount is greater than or equal to the Contract Value on any contract anniversary, any withdrawal will be an Excess Withdrawal.

Excess Withdrawals will result in proportional reductions to all LTC Benefits by the same percentage that the Excess Withdrawal reduces the Contract Value. Excess Withdrawals may result in significant reductions of benefits under the LTC Rider and/or its termination. Accordingly, if you think that you may need to access your Contract Value through withdrawals, the LTC Rider may not be a good investment for you.

To further explain the application of this limitation to withdrawals, if you have not purchased the Growth Benefit option, you may be able to make Conforming Withdrawals if your Contract Value has grown above your Purchase Payments. However, accessing more than modest amounts (i.e., more than 5%) of those investment gains could have a significant negative impact on your LTC Benefits. If you elect the Growth Benefit option, on the other hand, you will not be able to make any Conforming Withdrawals and all withdrawals will be Excess Withdrawals that negatively impact your LTC Benefits. In addition, since Excess Withdrawals result in proportional reductions to all LTC Benefits, your LTC Benefits may be reduced by more than dollar for dollar when those benefits exceed the Contract Value. If you reach age 76 or the maximum LTC Guaranteed Amount limit of $800,000, however, you may be able to then begin making Conforming Withdrawals if your Contract Value exceeds the LTC Guaranteed Amount on the immediately preceding contract anniversary because the Growth Benefit no longer increases after this time. This maximum LTC Guaranteed Amount includes the combined LTC Guaranteed Amounts of all Lincoln Life variable annuity contracts (or contracts issued by our affiliates) owned by you.

If the LTC Guaranteed Amount is equal to or greater than your Contract Value on a contract anniversary, any withdrawal in that Contract Year will not be a Conforming Withdrawal. Any Excess Withdrawal that reduces the Contract Value to zero will terminate the LTC Rider and the only LTC Benefit that you may receive will be the Optional Nonforfeiture Benefit, if elected. See the Withdrawals section later in this discussion.

Are there any restrictions on how I invest my money if I purchase the LTC Rider? By purchasing the LTC Rider, you will be limited in how you can invest in the Subaccounts and the fixed account. Specifically, you may invest only pursuant to Investment Requirements as described in this prospectus. The Subaccounts eligible for investment are designed for steadier, but potentially more modest, investment performance than you may otherwise receive by investing in Subaccounts with more aggressive investment objectives. The fixed account will be available to you for dollar-cost averaging purposes only. When we determine you are eligible to receive LTC Benefits, we will move Contract Value equal to the LTC Guaranteed Amount into the LTC Fixed Account from which we will make Acceleration Benefit payments and, if elected, Growth Benefit payments. Accordingly, after that point, such transferred amounts will not participate in market performance, but will accrue interest.

What are the charges for the LTC Rider? While the LTC Rider is in effect, there is a charge that is deducted from the Contract Value on a quarterly basis (the “LTC Charge”). The LTC Charge consists of the sum of three charges: the Acceleration Benefit Charge, the Extension Benefit Charge, and the Optional Nonforfeiture Benefit Charge (if elected). The LTC Charge will be higher if you choose the Growth Benefit option because the Acceleration Benefit Charge percentage rate is higher for the Growth Benefit option than it is without it, and because the LTC Guaranteed Amount may also be higher if there is contract growth. The Extension Benefit Charge and the Optional Nonforfeiture Benefit Charge do not have guaranteed maximum annual percentage rates and may change at any time, subject to state regulatory approval. For more information, please see Expense Tables and Charges and Other Deductions – Rider Charges – Long-Term Care^SM Advantage Charges.

113

Will I pay a surrender charge on LTC Benefit payments? LTC Benefit payments are not subject to any surrender charge. However, LTC Benefit payments will count against the contract’s free withdrawal provision, which may impact whether surrender charges are applied to other withdrawals.

Can I add the LTC Rider to an existing contract? The LTC Rider may only be purchased at the time the contract is issued and is not available if you have already purchased a contract. The availability and certain options and features of the LTC Rider will depend upon your state’s approval, and may not be available in some states. Check with your registered representative regarding the availability of the LTC Rider.

What if I decide to terminate the LTC Rider? The LTC Rider provides a nonforfeiture benefit if you terminate the LTC Rider in certain circumstances. There is a nonforfeiture benefit, called the “Contingent Nonforfeiture Benefit,” provided without charge that pays a reduced long-term care insurance benefit if you terminate the LTC Rider due to a specified increase of the charge for the Extension Benefit and/or the Optional Nonforfeiture Benefit if elected. You may also choose to add an enhanced nonforfeiture benefit, called the “Optional Nonforfeiture Benefit,” for an additional charge that pays a reduced long-term care insurance benefit if you terminate the LTC Rider for any reason after three years. The only difference between the two nonforfeiture benefits is the circumstances under which you may terminate the LTC Rider to receive the benefit. Under either nonforfeiture benefit you may receive an amount equal to the greater of one month’s maximum monthly benefit or an amount equal to the sum of all Extension Benefit Charges and Optional Nonforfeiture Benefit Charges paid minus the amount of any Extension Benefits paid prior to the LTC Rider’s termination. Termination of the LTC Rider does not terminate the underlying contract.

What are the risks associated with the LTC Rider? Some of the principal risks associated with the LTC Rider are:

• You may never need long-term care. Thus, you may pay for a feature from which you never realize any benefits.

• Even if you need long-term care, you may not qualify for LTC Benefits under the LTC Rider, or the LTC Benefits you receive may not cover all of the long-term expenses you incur since the maximum amount of LTC Benefit you may receive with the Growth Benefit is capped at $22,222 per month and $16,666 per month without the Growth Benefit, assuming you wait until after the 5^th contract anniversary to receive LTC Benefits.

• You may die before you obtain all the LTC Benefit payments to which you would otherwise be entitled. Remaining LTC Benefit payments that would have otherwise been payable, do not increase the amount paid on your death.

• Your ability to withdraw Contract Value without substantially and irrevocably reducing your LTC Benefits will be limited. Accordingly, you should not purchase the LTC Rider if you anticipate taking withdrawals or needing more than limited access to your Contract Value. In general, if you elect the Growth Benefit option, you will not be able to make any withdrawals without permanently reducing your LTC Benefits. If you do not purchase the Growth Benefit, you will be able to make withdraws of up to 5% of the excess of your Contract Value over the LTC Guaranteed Amount annually without impacting your LTC Benefits. That restriction will exist until LTC Benefit payments are complete or the LTC Rider otherwise terminates.

• You must wait at least one year before you can take LTC Benefit payments.

• If you take LTC Benefit payments before the 5^th contract anniversary, your monthly payments will be smaller and it will take you longer to receive the full amount of LTC Benefits than if you begin taking LTC Benefit payments after the 5^th contract anniversary.

• Even if you would otherwise be able to qualify for LTC Benefits, you may fail to file required forms or documentation and have your benefit denied or revoked.

• Your variable Subaccount investments will be restricted to certain Subaccounts and in certain percentages if you purchase the LTC Rider; the Subaccounts are designed for steadier, but potentially more modest, investment performance that you may otherwise receive by investing in Subaccounts with more aggressive investment objectives.

• If you begin taking LTC Benefit payments, your Contract Value to the extent of the LTC Guaranteed Amount will be transferred to the LTC Fixed Account, where it will not be insulated from the claims of our general creditors, will be subject to the claims-paying ability of Lincoln Life, and will not participate in any market performance.

• If you purchase the LTC Rider, you may not purchase any of the other Living Benefit Riders that we offer.

• The Extension Benefit Charge and Optional Nonforfeiture Benefit Charge percentage rates are not subject to a maximum, and may increase significantly.

• LTC Benefit payments may reduce your Death Benefit by deducting withdrawals in the same proportion that the withdrawal reduces the Contract Value.

Eligibility to Purchase the LTC Rider

Eligibility Requirements. If you wish to purchase the LTC Rider, you must meet certain eligibility requirements:

• The LTC Rider must be purchased at the same time you purchase your contract. The LTC Rider cannot be added to existing contracts.

• LTC Benefits are payable to the person insured under the LTC Rider (the “Covered Life”). The Covered Life must be the Contractowner and the Annuitant under the contract. If a grantor trust owns the contract, the Covered Life will be the Annuitant. There can only be one Covered Life. Thus, if the contract has joint owners, the Covered Life must be the primary owner.

114

• The Covered Life must be at least 45 years of age and not older than 74 years of age on the contract date, unless the Growth Benefit option is elected, in which case the Covered Life may not be older than 69 years of age. We must confirm your eligibility through a verification process that includes a review of prescription medications that you are taking, or have taken in the past 5 years, and your medical history. Certain medical conditions or the use of certain medications or medical devices will disqualify you from being eligible to purchase the LTC Rider. Some of the types of medical conditions that will disqualify you from purchasing the rider are Cancer, Parkinson’s Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Heart Disease, Diabetes, Alzheimer’s/Dementia, Bipolar Disorder, Schizophrenia, AIDS, Pulmonary Disorders, Kidney Disease, Liver Disease, Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis and Myasthenia Gravis as well as medications that are used to treat these conditions. This list is not exhaustive, there are other conditions and medications that are not included. We reserve the right to add or remove medical conditions and prescription drugs at our discretion.

• You will be required to sign a waiver of confidentiality form that will allow us to conduct a third-party prescription drug screening at the time we process your application.

Issuance Procedures. We will notify you if we decline to issue the LTC Rider within 2 days of our receipt of your application that is in good order. We will not issue the LTC Rider if you do not meet the eligibility requirements. If we decline to issue the LTC Rider, we will still issue the annuity contract.

Required Signature. If the LTC Rider is issued, you will be required to sign and return one copy of a contract amendment to verify that the medical statements relating to your medical history that you provided upon application for the LTC Rider are true. The signed contract amendment must be returned to us within 45 days of the contract date. Failure to sign and return a signed copy of the contract amendment within 45 days of the contract date will result in an automatic termination of the LTC Rider. If the LTC Rider is terminated for failure to return the contract amendment, you will not be able to terminate the contract without penalty (because the free look period will have expired).

Limitations on Purchase Payments. The LTC Benefits will be calculated based upon the dollar amount of Purchase Payments made into the contract in the first 90 days after the contract date. No Purchase Payments may be made into the contract after 90 days from the contract date. The minimum Purchase Payment amount under a contract if you purchase the LTC Rider is $50,000 ($75,000 in South Dakota), and the maximum amount of cumulative Purchase Payments that can be made during that 90-day period is $400,000. There is no guarantee that the LTC Rider or certain options will be available for new purchasers in the future as we reserve the right to discontinue the LTC Rider at any time.

Limitations on Purchasing Other Riders. You may not purchase any other Living Benefit Rider otherwise available with your contract or any other living benefits that we may offer in the future while you own the LTC Rider. In addition, the EEB Death Benefit is not available with the LTC Rider.

Investment Restrictions. By purchasing the LTC Rider, you will be limited in how you can invest in the Subaccounts and the fixed account. You must allocate all of your Purchase Payments and Contract Value at all times in accordance with Investment Requirements. For details about these limitations, see The Contracts – Investment Requirements.

Eligibility to Receive LTC Benefit Payments

Establishing Initial Eligibility for LTC Benefits

You will not be eligible to receive LTC Benefit payments under the LTC Rider until after the first Contract Year. (Although we refer to the first contract anniversary throughout this discussion, this provision may vary by state.) After the first contract anniversary, you may start the process to request and receive LTC Benefits. You must take the following steps to start receiving LTC Benefit payments:

PLEASE NOTE: The process to request LTC Benefits is involved and you should carefully consider that you may need substantial assistance from a family member or other trusted person to claim and obtain LTC Benefits once you are receiving long-term care. In this regard, our claims-processing department can help you if necessary. You should plan ahead to ensure that a person you trust has agreed to be responsible for completing the initial process, as well as the ongoing requirements, discussed below.

Step 1:	You must first notify us by phone at 800-487-1485, or send written notice to: PO Box 21008, Dept. 0514, Greensboro, NC 27420-1008 of your intent to request LTC Benefits. We will process any notifications or requests for LTC Benefits submitted by you, or on your behalf by your legally authorized representative, which may include a court-appointed conservator or an individual acting under a valid power of attorney. Before starting the eligibility process we will verify that the first contract anniversary has passed.
Step 2:	Once we receive notification of your intent to request LTC Benefits, we will provide you with claims forms which will be used to determine your initial eligibility to receive LTC Benefits.
Step 3:	You must complete and submit the claims forms. This requires that you have a Licensed Health Care Practitioner certify in a written assessment that you are Chronically Ill and complete a Plan of Care for you, which is a written plan of care that is developed based on your written assessment and specifies the type, frequency and duration of all Long-Term Care Services you will need.

115

Step 4:	We will determine your eligibility based on the 1) assessment; 2) Plan of Care; and 3) whether you have been or will be receiving Long-Term Care Services covered by the LTC Rider due to you being Chronically Ill. Once we have determined your eligibility for benefits, we will send you a Request for Benefits form to be completed by you in order to receive LTC Benefits.
Step 5:	You must submit a Request for Benefits form within 90 days after we have determined that you are eligible for LTC Benefits. The Request for Benefits form will be used to pay LTC Benefits for a period of up to three months.
Step 6:	You must satisfy the 90 day deductible period before any LTC Benefits will be paid. The 90-day deductible period is measured from the date you first receive Long-Term Care Services. See the Deductible Period paragraph later in this section.

Written Assessment. In order to determine whether you have been or will be receiving Long-Term Care Services due to being Chronically Ill, we require that a Licensed Health Care Practitioner certify, within the preceding 12 months, in a written assessment that you are Chronically Ill. You have a Chronic Illness if you require either: 1) substantial assistance with performing at least two of six Activities of Daily Living (“ADLs”) for at least 90 days or; 2) substantial supervision to protect you from threats to health and safety due to severe cognitive impairment. Severe cognitive impairment is deterioration or loss of intellectual capacity that is:

• Comparable to (and includes) Alzheimer’s disease and similar forms of irreversible dementia; and

• Is measured and confirmed by clinical evidence and standardized tests that reliably measure impairment in short-term or long-term memory; orientation as to person (such as who they are), place (such as their location), and time (such as day, date and year); and deductive or abstract reasoning, including judgment as it relates to safety awareness.

The written assessment will evaluate your ability to perform ADLs and/or your cognitive condition. You will be responsible for the cost of obtaining the initial and any subsequent assessments.

A Licensed Health Care Practitioner is a physician (as defined in Section 1861(r)(1) of the Social Security Act, as amended); a registered professional nurse; a licensed social worker; or another professional individual who meets the requirements prescribed by the United States Secretary of the Treasury.

The six Activities of Daily Living are:
1.	Bathing the tub or shower.
2.	Continence hygiene (including caring of a catheter or colostomy bag).
3.	Dressing
4.	Eating feeding tube or intravenously.
5.	Toileting
6.	Transferring

Plan of Care. The Licensed Health Care Practitioner must also complete a Plan of Care for you, which is a written plan of care that is developed based on the written assessment that you are Chronically Ill (as described in the preceding section) and specifies the type, frequency and duration of all Long-Term Care Services you will need. Long-Term Care Services are maintenance or personal care services, or any necessary diagnostic, preventive, therapeutic, curing, treating, mitigating, and rehabilitative service that is required because you are Chronically Ill and that are provided pursuant to a Plan of Care. The Long-Term Care Services include, but are not limited to, nursing home care, hospice care, adult day care, assisted living services, home health care and rehabilitative services as described in the Long-Term Care Coverage Endorsement. You will be responsible for the cost of obtaining the required Plan of Care. In order to receive LTC Benefits under the LTC Rider, you must follow the Plan of Care.

Exclusions and Limitations. The following are not Long-Term Care Services under the LTC Rider:

• alcohol and drug treatment, unless the drug addiction is a result of medication taken in doses prescribed by a physician

• care in a facility operated primarily for the treatment of mental or nervous disorders, other than qualifying stays or care resulting from a clinical diagnosis of Alzheimer’s Disease or similar forms of irreversible dementia

• treatment arising out of an attempt (while sane or insane) at suicide or an intentionally self-inflicted injury

• treatment in government facilities, such as the healthcare facilities run by the Veterans Administration (unless exclusion of coverage is otherwise prohibited by law)

• services for which benefits are available to you under Medicare or other governmental program (other than Medicaid), workers compensation laws, employer liability laws, occupational disease laws or motor vehicle no-fault laws

• services or care provided to you outside the United States

116

• all care and support services that are provided by immediate members of your family, whether paid or unpaid.

Deductible Period. You must satisfy the 90 day deductible period before any LTC Benefits will be paid. This means, you must wait 90 days after the date that you start to receive Long-Term Care Services covered under the LTC Rider before we will start paying LTC Benefits. For example, assume that you enter a nursing home on March 1 of a particular year after the first contract anniversary, due to not being able to perform two of the six ADLs. You notify us of your intent to request LTC Benefits on April 1. On April 8, you receive the claims forms from us. On May 1, we receive the completed claims forms, including the written assessment and Plan of Care. On May 10, we determine that your eligibility to receive LTC Benefits was March 1 and send you a Request for Benefits form. On May 20, we receive the completed Request for Benefits form. The deductible period would be 90 days from March 1 and will end as of May 29. We would start monthly LTC Benefit payments after May 29.

Requesting LTC Benefits. We will notify you in writing once we have determined your eligibility for benefits and will send you a Request for Benefits form to be completed by you in order to receive LTC Benefits. The Request for Benefits form will be used to pay LTC Benefits for a period of up to three months. You will need to provide a new Request for Benefits form to continue to receive LTC Benefits beyond the period requested in the Request for Benefits form. This form will notify us of the dollar amount of LTC Benefit payments that you are requesting, where you would like us to pay them, and from whom you are receiving Long-Term Care Services. If the Request for Benefits form is not received within 90 days after we have determined that you are eligible for LTC Benefits, you will no longer be deemed eligible to receive LTC Benefits and the eligibility determination process will restart. See the Federal Taxation of this section for a discussion of the limits on the dollar amount of LTC Benefit payments.

Please Note: The amount you request in LTC Benefits may be more or less that your actual expenses for Long-Term Care Services. The LTC Rider is not a reimbursement plan and does not depend on your actual expenses. However, if you receive amounts in excess of the IRS limit, those amounts may be taxable unless you have actually incurred long-term care expenses of that amount. See General Provisions – Federal Taxation.

Denial of LTC Benefits. We will notify you in writing if we deny any request for LTC Benefits. We will deny a request for LTC Benefits if we determine that you are not eligible to receive LTC Benefits as set forth in the preceding sections or if you have not fulfilled any of the requirements in order for us to determine your eligibility or process your request. You may request a review of our decision. A request for a review of a denial of a request for LTC Benefits must be in writing and must include any information that may support your request or eligibility status. The request for a review of a denial of a request for LTC Benefits must be submitted to us generally within 3 years (although this period may vary by the state the LTC Rider is issued in) after the time the request for LTC Benefits was filed. We will review your request for a review and provide a written decision, generally within 60 days after receiving it (although this period may vary because of a different requirement imposed by the state in which the LTC Rider is issued). There is no further review after we provide you with our written decision. If we determine that a request for LTC Benefits should have been granted we will pay you the LTC Benefits you should have received.

Establishing Continued Eligibility for LTC Benefits

Once you qualify and begin to receive LTC Benefit payments, you must take certain steps to continue to receive LTC Benefits. If you fail to take these steps, your LTC Benefits will stop, and you will have to reestablish your eligibility to restart LTC Benefit payments. You must take the following steps to continue receiving LTC Benefit payments:

Every Three Months:

You must submit a new Request for Benefits form, which must be received by us no earlier than 30 days prior to the end of the current three-month period for which you are receiving LTC Benefits. We will provide you with a new Request for Benefits form prior to the end of the current three-month period. If a new Request for Benefits form is not submitted prior to the end of the current three month period for which you are receiving LTC Benefits, we will automatically pay the LTC Benefit that you are receiving for an additional month. If you do not want to receive this payment you must contact us either by phone or in writing at the address or phone number provided above. LTC Benefits paid during that month will be equal to the amount of the most recent LTC Benefit payment paid to you. If we do not receive a Request for Benefits form within 90 days after the three month period for which LTC Benefits were previously requested, you will have to reestablish your eligibility to receive benefits. Request for Benefits form are always available by contacting us at 800-487-1485.

Every Year:

At least once every 12 months after we have established your initial benefit eligibility, a Licensed Health Care Practitioner must (1) complete a new assessment on a form provided by us and again certify that you are Chronically Ill, and that you are expected to remain Chronically Ill for at least 90 days, and (2) either prescribe a new Plan of Care, or reconfirm the existing Plan of Care. We will provide you with a new assessment form prior to the end of the current twelve-month period. The appropriate forms are always available by contacting us at 800-487-1485.

Revocation of Eligibility for LTC Benefits. We will notify you in writing if we revoke your eligibility for LTC Benefits. You may request a review of our decision. We may revoke your eligibility if we determine that you are no longer eligible to receive LTC Benefits or should

117

not have been found eligible to receive LTC Benefits. We may also revoke your eligibility for failure to follow any of the procedures as discussed above. A revocation of eligibility does not mean that you may be found eligible in the future. A request for a review of a revocation of eligibility must be in writing and must include any information that may support your request or eligibility status. The request for a review of a revocation of eligibility must be submitted to us generally within 3 years (although this period may vary because of a different requirement imposed by the state in which the LTC Rider is issued) after the time the last Request for Benefits form was filed. We will review your request for a review and provide a written decision within 60 days after receiving it. There is no further review after we provide you with our written decision. If we determine that we should not have revoked your eligibility we will pay you the LTC Benefits you should have received.

Verification of Continued Eligibility

At any time and as often as we reasonably require, we reserve the right to verify that all of the conditions for initial and ongoing eligibility are satisfied. Verification of your continued eligibility may include any or all of the following:

• review of medical facts (including, but not limited to, medical files or diagnostic test results) to determine the extent of any Chronic Illness;

• a physical examination at our expense by a physician of our choosing to determine that all of the criteria for eligibility are met;

• requiring proof that you have received the prescribed care or support services.

If the Company is unable to verify that you are receiving Long-Term Care Services as set forth in the Plan of Care or that you are Chronically Ill, the Company will revoke your eligibility to receive LTC Benefits and reject any pending or subsequent request for benefits, and take action pursuant to the overpayment provision described below. Any subsequent determination of benefit eligibility will be treated as the initial determination of eligibility.

Overpayment of LTC Benefits

If you no longer meet the eligibility criteria or no longer wish to receive LTC Benefit payments, you will need to notify us by contacting us either by phone or in writing at the address or phone number provided above. Failure to notify us that you no longer meet the eligibility criteria may result in an overpayment. In the event we make an overpayment to you, we will notify you and request repayment. An overpayment could be made under an existing Request for Benefits after a Covered Life is no longer eligible to receive benefits or as a result of an administrative error in processing a request for benefits. If you receive an overpayment, it is your responsibility to return the amount of the overpayment within 60 days of our request. If you do not return the overpayment within 60 days of our request, we will deduct the amount of the overpayment from your future LTC Benefits, if any, or otherwise from any withdrawals, cash surrender, or Death Benefit proceeds.

Determining LTC Benefits

General Summary of LTC Benefits

Before delving into a more detailed discussion, we want to provide you with an overview of the basic choices you have relating to the LTC Rider, as well as a brief roadmap of the general concepts that impact your LTC Benefits.

Choices Under the LTC Rider. The amount of LTC Benefits that you may receive under the LTC Rider is dependent upon several choices that you make.

• You will decide how much money to invest in the contract in order to fund the LTC Rider. The amount of the initial Purchase Payment and of any subsequent Purchase Payments made in the first 90 days after the contract date will determine the amount of Acceleration Benefits and Extension Benefits you may receive.

• You will also choose whether you would like the opportunity to grow the LTC Benefits by choosing, for a higher charge, the Growth Benefit option.

• You will choose whether to purchase for an additional cost the Optional Nonforfeiture Benefit option which provides an LTC Benefit if you terminate the LTC Rider under certain circumstances after the 3^rd contract anniversary.

• Once you are eligible to receive LTC Benefits, you will decide when and in what amounts up to certain limits you would like to receive monthly LTC Benefit payments. As long as you have met the conditions described earlier in this discussion (Eligibility for LTC Benefits), you may use the LTC Benefit payments for any purpose and may receive more than your actual expenses for LTC Services.

Roadmap of Important LTC Concepts. There are certain important features of the LTC Rider you need to understand. The following section summarizes these features.

As described above, there are two primary LTC Benefits: the Acceleration Benefit and the Extension Benefit. There is also an additional optional LTC Benefit – the Growth Benefit – that is available for an additional charge. The Acceleration and Growth Benefits are calculated based on the LTC Guaranteed Amount. The initial Extension Benefit is calculated based on the initial Acceleration Benefit and will be double the dollar amount of the Acceleration Benefit. The LTC Guaranteed Amount is also important as it affects the charges you pay for the LTC Rider. See “LTC Charges” for additional information. The LTC Guaranteed Amount is equal to the Acceleration Benefit

118

plus the Growth Benefit, if elected. However, you should understand that the LTC Guaranteed Amount is not available to you as a lump sum withdrawal or as a Death Benefit. See the discussion following this chart for a more detailed discussion of each LTC Benefit.

Acceleration Benefit
•	First payments made under the LTC Rider
•	Deducted from your Contract Value
•	Equals your initial Purchase Payment and any subsequent Purchase Payments made in the first 90 days
•	Paid monthly up to a monthly maximum amount (referred to as Maximum Monthly Level Benefit which is described in the Determining LTC Benefits-Maximum Monthly Level Benefit section)
•	Payments reduce the LTC Guaranteed Amount and Acceleration Benefit
•	If the Contract Value is reduced to zero, benefits are paid by us from our general account
•	Not affected by investment results
•	No surrender charges, although LTC Benefit payments will be applied against the contract’s free withdrawal provision reducing the amount you may otherwise withdraw without a surrender charge.

⇩

Extension Benefit
•	Second payments made under the LTC Rider once Acceleration Benefit is reduced to zero
•	Paid by us from our general account
•	Equals double the Acceleration Benefit as of the 90th day after the contract date
•	Paid monthly up to a monthly maximum amount (referred to as Maximum Monthly Level Benefit which is described in the Determining LTC Benefits-Maximum Monthly Level Benefit section)
•	Payments reduce the Extension Benefit
•	Not affected by investment results

⇩

Growth Benefit
•	May be purchased for an additional cost
•	Increases the LTC Guaranteed Amount annually by the amount of investment gain, if any, in the Subaccounts and any fixed account
•	Payments made in addition to Acceleration Benefit and Extension Benefit payments
•	Deducted from your Contract Value
•	Paid monthly up to a monthly maximum amount that is different from the monthly maximum amounts applicable to the Acceleration Benefit and Extension Benefit and that may increase but will never decrease based upon investment performance
•	Payments reduce the LTC Guaranteed Amount and Growth Benefit
•	If the Contract Value is reduced to zero, paid by us from our general account
•	Each annual step-up is not affected by subsequent investment results
•	No surrender charges, although LTC Benefit payments will be applied against the contract’s free withdrawal provision reducing the amount you may otherwise withdraw without a surrender charge.

⇩

Withdrawals
•	Permitted any time in addition to LTC Benefit payments
•	Will not decrease LTC Benefits (but will reduce Contract Value) to the extent annual withdrawals are less than or equal to 5% of the excess amount, if any, of the Contract Value over the LTC Guaranteed Amount as of the immediately preceding contract anniversary
•	The amount of any withdrawal that exceeds 5% of the excess amount of the Contract Value over the LTC Guaranteed Amount will be an Excess Withdrawal (i.e., if the LTC Guaranteed Amount is greater than or equal to the Contract Value on any contract anniversary, any withdrawal will be an Excess Withdrawal)
•	If the Growth Benefit has been elected, ANY withdrawal is an Excess Withdrawal

119

Withdrawals
•	Excess Withdrawals result in proportional reductions to all LTC Benefits by the same percentage that the Excess Withdrawal reduces the Contract Value
•	Thus, if you purchase the Growth Benefit option, any withdrawal will be an Excess Withdrawal (unless you are age 76 or the maximum LTC Guaranteed Amount limit of $800,000 has been reached, and your Contract Value on the immediately preceding contract anniversary exceeds the LTC Guaranteed Amount)

Now that we have discussed the general important features that impact your LTC Benefits, we can engage in a more detailed discussion of how exactly these LTC Benefits are calculated.

Acceleration Benefit Payments

Once you become eligible to receive LTC Benefits and we make a determination of your eligibility, we will move your Contract Value to the extent of the LTC Guaranteed Amount to our LTC Fixed Account. Amounts allocated to the LTC Fixed Account will no longer have the ability to participate in market performance. See LTC Fixed Account for more information. We then pay you the Acceleration Benefit as monthly Acceleration Benefit payments during the Acceleration Benefit Duration. Each payment will be the amount you request up to the Maximum Monthly Level Benefit amount. See Determining LTC Benefits – Maximum Monthly Level Benefit below for a detailed description. The Acceleration Benefit is first paid from the Contract Value. Surrender charges are waived for all Acceleration Benefit payments. However, Acceleration Benefit payments will be applied against the contract’s free withdrawal provision, which may impact whether surrender charges are applied to other withdrawals.

Acceleration Benefit Duration = the period of time over which Acceleration Benefits are paid. If you have not received LTC Benefits prior to the 5^th contract anniversary, the minimum Acceleration Benefit Duration will be 24 months (i.e., 2 years).

Acceleration Benefit = the initial Purchase Payment, plus each subsequent Purchase Payment made within the first 90 days after the contract date, less Excess Withdrawals (adjusted as described in this discussion), less Acceleration Benefit payments. If you have not elected the Growth Benefit, the LTC Guaranteed Amount equals the Acceleration Benefit.

Excess Withdrawals will reduce the LTC Guaranteed Amount and Acceleration Benefit by the same percentage that the Excess Withdrawal reduces the Contract Value.

We promise that if your Contract Value is reduced to zero due to investment losses and there is a remaining amount of Acceleration Benefit, the remaining Acceleration Benefit payments will be paid from our assets and investments we hold in our general account, subject to the conditions discussed in this prospectus. Because we transfer Contract Value equal to the LTC Guaranteed Amount (or all Contract Value, if less) to the LTC Fixed Account (which is part of our general account) once you begin receiving payments, all Acceleration Benefit payments are subject to the claims of our general creditors and the claims-paying ability of Lincoln Life. The Acceleration Benefit is not available as a lump sum withdrawal or as a Death Benefit.

Acceleration Benefit payments reduce the Acceleration Benefit, LTC Guaranteed Amount and Contract Value. Excess Withdrawals will reduce the Acceleration Benefit and LTC Guaranteed Amount by the same proportion that the Excess Withdrawal reduces your Contract Value. See Withdrawals for more information on Excess Withdrawals.

Once the Acceleration Benefit is reduced to zero, the Extension Benefit Duration will begin. In the last month that you receive an Acceleration Benefit payment, if the remaining amount of Acceleration Benefit is less than the Maximum Monthly Level Benefit amount, the payment that you receive will include the remaining Acceleration Benefit plus an amount of Extension Benefit to make the payment equal to the amount you have requested. The following month the LTC Benefit will be paid from the Extension Benefit.

Extension Benefit Payments

Once the Acceleration Benefit is reduced to zero and you are still requesting and otherwise eligible to receive LTC Benefit payments, we will start to pay you the Extension Benefit as monthly Extension Benefit payments. Extension Benefit payments are paid up to the Maximum Monthly Level Benefit amount. See “Determining LTC Benefits – Maximum Monthly Level Benefit” below for more details. The Extension Benefit is an obligation of Lincoln Life subject to the claims-paying ability of Lincoln Life and is supported by the general account, not by your Contract Value. We promise to pay the Extension Benefit during the Extension Benefit Duration subject to the conditions discussed in this prospectus. The Extension Benefit is not available as a lump sum withdrawal or as a Death Benefit.

Extension Benefit Duration = the period of time over which Extension Benefits are paid. The Extension Benefit Duration is initially twice the length of the Acceleration Benefit Duration. If you have not received LTC Benefits prior to the 5^th contract anniversary, the minimum Extension Benefit Duration will be 48 months (i.e., 4 years).

120

Extension Benefit = twice the initial Acceleration Benefit (Purchase Payments within the first 90 days after the contract date), less Excess Withdrawals (adjusted as described in this discussion), less Extension Benefit payments.

Excess Withdrawals will reduce the LTC Guaranteed Amount and Extension Benefit by the same percentage that the Excess Withdrawal reduces the Contract Value.

Example: The following example shows the calculation of the LTC Guaranteed Amount, the Acceleration Benefit and the Extension Benefit as of the contract date, and the recalculation of those amounts after a subsequent Purchase Payment is made prior to the 90th day after the contract date.
Initial Purchase Payment January 1 (contract date equals January 1):		$100,000
Contract Value January 1:		$100,000
LTC Guaranteed Amount January 1 (equals initial Purchase Payment):		$100,000
Acceleration Benefit January 1 (equals LTC Guaranteed Amount):		$100,000
Extension Benefit January 1 (2 x $100,000 Acceleration Benefit):		$200,000
Contract value February 1 prior to subsequent Purchase Payment:		$110,000
Subsequent Purchase Payment received February 1:		$100,000
LTC Guaranteed Amount after subsequent Purchase Payment
	($100,000 LTC Guaranteed Amount + $100,000 subsequent Purchase Payment made within 90 days of contract date):	$200,000
Acceleration Benefit after subsequent Purchase Payment:		$200,000
Extension Benefit after subsequent Purchase Payment
	(2 x $200,000 Acceleration Benefit):	$400,000
Contract Value after additional Purchase Payment:		$210,000

Maximum Monthly Level Benefit

The Maximum Monthly Level Benefit is the monthly limit for Acceleration and Extension Benefits that may be paid to you under the LTC Rider. The Maximum Monthly Level Benefit is calculated on the contract date and each contract anniversary up to, and including, the 5^th contract anniversary. Because the maximum monthly amount is based upon the number of months over which the Acceleration Benefits are paid, the maximum monthly amount is lowest on the first contract anniversary and is recalculated and increases every year you wait to request LTC Benefits up to 5^th contract anniversary. If you receive LTC Benefit payments prior to the 5^th contract anniversary, the maximum monthly amount will be lower than if you wait until after five years after the contract date. We promise that the total amount of LTC Benefits available will be the same, but will be paid out over a longer time period (as long as you are alive) and at a lower monthly maximum amount.

Maximum Monthly Level Benefit = the remaining Acceleration Benefit divided by the number of months of remaining Acceleration Benefit Duration. For example, if the Acceleration Benefit is $200,000 and the Acceleration Benefit Duration as of the 5^th contract anniversary was 24 months, the Maximum Monthly Level Benefit would be $8,333.33 ($200,000/24).

Excess Withdrawals will reduce the Maximum Monthly Level Benefit amount by the same percentage the Excess Withdrawal reduces the Contract Value. See Withdrawals. All other withdrawals and LTC Benefit payments will not change the Maximum Monthly Level Benefit amount. The Maximum Monthly Level Benefit amount does not include Growth Benefits.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

We designed the LTC Rider to function most optimally if you do not start receiving LTC Benefits until on or after the 5^th contract anniversary. After the 5^th contract anniversary, you can maximize your monthly LTC Benefit payments and receive those payments over the shortest period of time (which means you will have a shorter period of time to access the money we pay from our general account during the Extension Benefit period). This discussion assumes that you do not begin taking LTC Benefit payments until after the 5^th contract anniversary. However, because we wanted to provide you with the flexibility to begin taking LTC Benefit payments prior to the 5^th contract anniversary if the need arises, we will highlight the impact of taking LTC Benefit payments earlier in a later section. See “Determining LTC Benefits – Electing to Receive LTC Benefits Before the 5^th Contract Anniversary.”

Whether you can request all of the Maximum Monthly Level Benefit (after the required waiting period and fulfilling all other applicable requirements to receive LTC Benefits) will depend on whether you are residing in a “nursing home” or are receiving “hospice care”

121

(which may be received in your home or in a hospice care facility). Both of these terms, and other qualified Long-Term Care services, are defined in the Long-Term Care Coverage Endorsement form; the actual terms and definitions may vary because of requirements imposed by the particular state in which the LTC Benefit was issued. The following chart shows the amount you may request in LTC Benefits.

Type of Long-Term Care Services	Amount of Monthly Benefit You Can Request
If you are residing in a nursing home or are receiving hospice care:	You may request an amount up to the Maximum Monthly Level Benefit amount. Contractowners with contracts issued in certain states not listed below may also request up to the Maximum Monthly Level Benefit amount if they are in an assisted living facility.
If you are eligible and qualify for other qualified Long-Term Care Services (such as but not limited to home health care, adult day care, assisted living services), but are not residing in a nursing home or receiving hospice care:	You may request only up to 50% of the Maximum Monthly Level Benefit amount*. If upon commencement of a month you qualify to receive up to 50% of the Maximum Monthly Level Benefit amount and during that month you enter a nursing home or start to receive hospice care, you will qualify to receive up to 100% of the Maximum Monthly Level Benefit amount the following month.

* Contractowners whose contracts were issued in the following states may only request up to 50% of the Maximum Monthly Level Benefit amount for assisted living services: AK, AL, AR, AZ, DC, DE, GA, IA, KY, LA, MD, ME, MI, MO, MS, MT, NC, ND, NE, NM, OK, OR, RI, SC, SD, WV, WY. Contractowners in all other states may request up to 100% of the Maximum Monthly Level Benefit amount for assisted living services.

The Maximum Monthly Level Benefit amount will not change after the 5^th contract anniversary unless you make an Excess Withdrawal (as described below). If, after the 5^th contract anniversary, you receive less than the Maximum Monthly Level Benefit amount in any given month, the Maximum Monthly Level Benefit amount will not be increased, but the minimum Acceleration Benefit Duration or minimum Extension Benefit Duration will be increased and will equal the remaining Acceleration Benefit or Extension Benefit divided by the Maximum Monthly Level Benefit amount.

Example: The following is an example of how taking less than the Maximum Monthly Level Benefit impacts future Maximum Monthly Level Benefit amounts and extends the Acceleration Benefit Duration and Extension Benefit Duration. This example also illustrates how the Maximum Monthly Level Benefit does not change after the 5th Contract Year. Assume LTC Benefit payments begin after the 5th contract anniversary and the owner receives 50% of the Maximum Monthly Level Benefit each month.
On 5th contract anniversary:
Acceleration Benefit:		$100,000
Acceleration Benefit Duration:		24 months
Extension Benefit:		$200,000
Extension Benefit Duration:		48 months
Maximum Monthly Level Benefit: ($100,000/24)		$4,166.67
Monthly LTC Benefit payment (50% of $4,166.67)		$2,083.33
On the 6th contract anniversary:
Remaining Acceleration Benefit:
	($100,000 – LTC Benefit payments of $25,000 ($2,083.33 x 12))	$75,000
Remaining Acceleration Benefit Duration
	(assuming the Contractowner continues to receive 50% of the Maximum Monthly Level Benefit): ($75,000 / $2,083.33)	36 months
Remaining Acceleration Benefit Duration
	(if the Contractowner begins receiving 100% of the Maximum Monthly Level Benefit): ($75,000 / $4,166.67)	18 months
Remaining Extension Benefit:		$200,000
Remaining Extension Benefit Duration
	(assuming the Contractowner continues to receive 50% of the Maximum Monthly Level Benefit each year): ($200,000 / $2,083.33)	96 months
Remaining Acceleration Benefit Duration
	(if the Contractowner begins receiving 100% of the Maximum Monthly Level Benefit): ($200,000 / $4,166.67)	48 months

122

Special Considerations When Determining the Amount of Benefits to Request: Keep in mind that you may use the LTC Benefit payments for any purpose and may request more than your actual expenses for Long-Term Care Services (subject to the maximums discussed above). When determining the amount of the LTC Benefit to request, however, there are a number of factors you may want to take into account.

During the Acceleration Benefit Duration, for example, you may want to consider the actual cost of your care and the expected length of your care, the chance that you may not live long enough to receive all the LTC Benefit payments, and the need for Death Benefit and/or annuity features under your contract. During the Acceleration Benefit Duration, taking less than the maximum amount of the Acceleration Benefit to which you are entitled will extend the Acceleration Benefit Duration (and thus will extend the beginning of the Extension Benefit Duration, when LTC Benefits are being paid out of our assets). (As discussed below, not taking Growth Benefit payments will not extend the Acceleration Benefit Duration.) If the cost of any qualified Long-Term Care Services that you are receiving is less than the maximum you can request and you anticipate needing money for Long-Term Care Services for a longer period of time than the LTC Benefit Duration, then you may want to consider taking less than the maximum amount. Taking less than the maximum has the advantage of extending your benefits over a longer time period and/or allowing you to retain your Death Benefit and annuity options (which are reduced by withdrawals including LTC Benefit payments and thus will not be reduced as quickly), but has the disadvantage of there being a greater chance that you may not live long enough to receive all or as many LTC Benefit payments.

Once you are in the Extension Benefit Duration, when LTC Benefits are being paid out of our assets, it is almost universally better to take your maximum permitted amount each month, in case of death prior to all LTC Benefit payments being made.

In all cases, you should also consider the limits imposed under IRS rules. See General Provisions – Federal Taxation below.

Growth Benefit Option

At the time you purchase the Rider, you will choose whether to add the Growth Benefit option. The Growth Benefit option may not be added after the LTC Rider is issued. The Growth Benefit option may provide an additional amount of LTC Benefit from investment gains in the Subaccounts and fixed account. The Growth Benefit is paid as monthly Growth Benefit payments up to the Maximum Monthly Growth Benefit amount.

Growth Benefit payments may be paid in addition to Acceleration Benefit payments and Extension Benefit payments and are paid during both the Acceleration Benefit Duration and the Extension Benefit Duration. Thus, while your initial Purchase Payment (and any subsequent Purchase Payment made during the first 90 days up to the applicable maximum limit) is returned to you over the Acceleration Benefit Duration, your Growth Benefit is spread over both the Acceleration Benefit Duration and the Extension Benefit Duration. After the Extension Benefit is reduced to zero and if there is any remaining LTC Guaranteed Amount, you may continue to receive Growth Benefits, if otherwise eligible, until the LTC Guaranteed Amount is reduced to zero. At such point, Growth Benefit payments will no longer be subject to the Maximum Monthly Growth Benefit limit (i.e., you can request a lump sum of any remaining LTC Guaranteed Amount).

Surrender charges are waived for all Growth Benefit payments. However, Growth Benefit payments will be applied against the contract’s free withdrawal provision, which may impact whether surrender charges are applied to other withdrawals.

On each contract anniversary until you reach age 76, the LTC Guaranteed Amount may increase to an amount equal to the Contract Value, if higher, due to Automatic Step-ups, up to the maximum LTC Guaranteed Amount limit of $800,000 (referred to as the Automatic Step-up). The Growth Benefit is equal to the difference between the LTC Guaranteed Amount and the Acceleration Benefit, if any. On the contract date, the Growth Benefit is zero. The Growth Benefit will be calculated on each contract anniversary or at the time of an Excess Withdrawal.

Automatic Step-Ups = On each contract anniversary, the LTC Guaranteed Amount will automatically step up to the Contract Value as of the contract anniversary if:
•	The Covered Life is still living and under age 76;
•	The Contract Value on that contract anniversary is greater than the LTC Guaranteed Amount; and
•	The maximum LTC Guaranteed Amount limit has never been reached.

Excess Withdrawals will reduce the LTC Guaranteed Amount and Growth Benefit by the same percentage that the Excess Withdrawal reduces the Contract Value.

Once you begin receiving LTC Benefit payments, we transfer Contract Value to the LTC Fixed Account (which is part of our general account) equal to the LTC Guaranteed Amount (or the Contract Value, if less). Each contract anniversary thereafter, we transfer to the LTC Fixed Account the amount by which the LTC Guaranteed Amount “stepped up” that year. See LTC Fixed Account for additional information. Because your Contract Value will be earning fixed interest in the LTC Fixed Account and will no longer be participating in any investment performance in the separate account, there is very little likelihood that the Automatic Step-ups will continue to increase the LTC Guaranteed Amount while you are receiving LTC Benefits even though you will still be paying an

123

increased Acceleration Benefit Charge for the Growth Benefit. Thus if you purchase the Growth Benefit, you should allow sufficient time before you anticipate needing LTC Benefits to allow the Automatic Step-ups to increase the LTC Guaranteed Amount and should not purchase it if you anticipate needing LTC Benefit within a short time-frame.

You will pay a higher LTC Charge for the Growth Benefit option than for the Level Benefit option. In addition, when deciding whether to purchase the Growth Benefit option, you should consider that under the Growth Benefit option, any withdrawal will be an Excess Withdrawal. However, if the maximum LTC Guaranteed Amount limit of $800,000 has been reached or you are age 76 or older, and your Contract Value exceeds the LTC Guaranteed Amount on a contract anniversary, you may withdraw an amount up to the Conforming Withdrawal amount. See Withdrawals for an example of how an Excess Withdrawal reduces the LTC Guaranteed Amount.

Once the maximum LTC Guaranteed Amount limit has been reached or you are age 76 or older, you will not receive any further Automatic Step-ups of the LTC Guaranteed Amount (even if it later declines due to Excess Withdrawals or LTC Benefit payments). Contract Value in excess of the maximum LTC Guaranteed Amount will not provide any additional Growth Benefit.

Example: Following is an example of how the Automatic Step-ups will work through the first three contract anniversaries (assuming no withdrawals).
Total Purchase Payments added to the contract as of 90th day after the contract date:		$200,000
LTC Guaranteed Amount as of 90th day after the contract date equals total Purchase Payments made into the contract:		$200,000
Acceleration Benefit as of 90th day after the contract date:		$200,000
Total Contract Value on 1st contract anniversary reflecting investment gain:		$225,000
New LTC Guaranteed Amount on 1st contract anniversary:
	(LTC Guaranteed Amount steps up since $225,000 is greater than LTC Guaranteed Amount of $200,000)	$225,000
Growth Benefit on 1st contract anniversary
	($225,000 LTC Guaranteed Amount - $200,000 Acceleration Benefit):	$ 25,000
Total Contract Value on 2nd contract anniversary reflecting investment loss from previous contract anniversary
	($225,000 LTC Guaranteed Amount does not change as the Contract Value of $218,000 is less; $25,000 Growth Benefit does not change):	$218,000
Total Contract Value on 3rd contract anniversary reflecting investment gain from previous contract anniversary:		$240,000
New LTC Guaranteed Amount
	(LTC Guaranteed Amount steps up as $240,000 is greater than LTC Guaranteed Amount of $225,000):	$240,000
Growth Benefit on 3rd contract anniversary
	($240,000 LTC Guaranteed Amount - $200,000 Acceleration Benefit):	$ 40,000

You may choose to irrevocably terminate the Automatic Step-ups if you believe that you have sufficient LTC Benefits to cover your needs and do not want or need to further increase the LTC Benefits. You may terminate Automatic Step-ups after the 5^th contract anniversary by notifying us in writing at least 30 days prior to the next contract anniversary. By choosing to terminate the Automatic Step-ups, the LTC Guaranteed Amount will no longer step up to the Contract Value, if higher. You will still pay the higher Acceleration Benefit Charge associated with the Growth Benefit if you terminate automatic step-ups. However, the charge will not increase as the LTC Guaranteed Amount (which the charge is based on) will no longer increase because of step-ups to the Contract Value. See Charges and Other Deductions – Rider Charges – Long-Term Care^SM Advantage Charge.

Growth Benefit payments reduce the Growth Benefit, the LTC Guaranteed Amount, and the Contract Value by the dollar amount of the payment. Excess Withdrawals reduce the Growth Benefit by the same percentage that the Excess Withdrawal amount reduces the Contract Value. This means that the reduction in the Growth Benefit could be more than the dollar amount withdrawn. Because we transfer Contract Value equal to the LTC Guaranteed Amount (or all Contract Value, if less) to the LTC Fixed Account once you begin receiving payments and each contract anniversary thereafter, all Growth Benefit payments are subject to claims of our general creditors and to the claims-paying ability of Lincoln Life.

Maximum Monthly Growth Benefit

The Maximum Monthly Growth Benefit amount is the maximum amount of Growth Benefit that may be paid in any calendar month. The Maximum Monthly Growth Benefit amount is recalculated each contract anniversary and upon an Excess Withdrawal. The calculation of the Maximum Monthly Growth Benefit amount is based on payment of the Growth Benefit over both the Acceleration and Extension Benefit Durations.

Under the formula, we determine how many months of Acceleration and Extension Benefit payments are remaining by dividing the total remaining Acceleration and Extension Benefits by the Maximum Monthly Level Benefit amount. Then the Growth Benefit is divided over this same number of months.

124

The Maximum Monthly Growth Benefit amount = [i ÷ ((ii + iii) ÷ iv)] where:
(i)	equals the Growth Benefit on the contract anniversary;
(ii)	equals any remaining Acceleration Benefit on the contract anniversary;
(iii)	equals any remaining Extension Benefit on the contract anniversary; and
(iv)	equals the Maximum Monthly Level Benefit amount on the contract anniversary.

When you make a request for benefits, you may request an amount up to the Maximum Monthly LTC Benefit amount. You will receive a single monthly LTC Benefit payment that will include the Growth Benefit payment, in addition to either the Acceleration Benefit payment or Extension Benefit payment. We deduct your request first from the Acceleration Benefit (during the Acceleration Benefit Duration) or Extension Benefit (during the Extension Benefit Duration) up to the Maximum Monthly Level Benefit (which is the maximum amount you could request if you did not have the Growth Benefit option). Any amount requested above that amount will be deducted from the Growth Benefit up to the Maximum Monthly LTC Benefit amount. Thus, no Growth Benefit payments will be made unless you are requesting more than the Maximum Monthly Level Benefit amount available to you for that month. However, any unused Growth Benefit Payments can be used once the Maximum Growth Benefit Monthly payment is recalculated.

Maximum Monthly LTC Benefit amount = the Maximum Monthly Level Benefit amount plus the Maximum Monthly Growth Benefit amount

Whether you can request all of the Maximum Monthly LTC Benefit will depend on whether you are residing in a nursing home or receiving hospice care:

Type of Long-Term Care Services	Amount of Monthly Benefit You Can Request
If you are residing in a nursing home or are receiving hospice care:	You may request an amount up to the Maximum Monthly LTC Benefit amount. Contractowners with contracts issued in certain states not listed below may also request up to the Maximum Monthly LTC Benefit amount if they are in an assisted living facility.
If you are eligible and qualify for other qualified Long-Term Care Services (such as but not limited to home health care, adult day care, assisted living services), but are not residing in a nursing home or receiving hospice care:	You may request only up to 50% of the Maximum Monthly LTC Benefit amount*. If upon commencement of a month you qualify to receive up to 50% of the Maximum Monthly LTC Benefit amount and during that month you enter a nursing home or start to receive hospice care, you will qualify to receive up to 100% of the Maximum Monthly LTC Benefit amount the following month.

*Contractowners whose contracts were issued in the following states may only request up to 50% of the Maximum Monthly LTC Benefit amount for assisted living services: AK, AL, AR, AZ, DC, DE, GA, IA, KY, LA, MD, ME, MI, MO, MS, MT, NC, ND, NE, NM, OK, OR, RI, SC, SD, WV, WY. Contractowners in all other states may request up to 100% of the Maximum Monthly Level Benefit amount for assisted living services.

Example: The following is an example of how the Maximum Monthly Growth Benefit amount, Maximum Monthly Level Benefit amount and the Maximum Monthly LTC Benefit are calculated on the 5th contract anniversary with growth of the Contract Value from investment gains of $20,000 and assuming $100,000 Purchase Payments were made prior to 90th day after the contract date.
Acceleration Benefit on 5th contract anniversary:		$100,000
Extension Benefit on 5th contract anniversary:		$200,000
Contract Value on 5th contract anniversary:		$120,000
LTC Guaranteed Amount on 5th contract anniversary steps-up to Contract Value of $120,000:		$120,000
Growth Benefit
	($120,000 LTC Guaranteed Amount - $100,000 Acceleration Benefit):	$20,000
Maximum Monthly Level Benefit
	($100,000 ÷ 24 months of Acceleration Benefit Duration left):	$4,166.67
Maximum Monthly Growth Benefit
	[($20,000 Growth Benefit ÷ (($100,000 Acceleration Benefit + $200,000 Extension Benefit) ÷ $4,166.67 Maximum Monthly Level Benefit)]:	$277.78
Maximum Monthly LTC Benefit ($4,166.67 + $277.78):		$4,444.45

Special Considerations When Determining the Amount of Benefits to Request: If you receive less than the Maximum Monthly Growth Benefit amount, the unused Growth Benefit for that month will not be available for the remainder of that Contract Year. On the next contract anniversary, the remaining Growth Benefit for the prior year will carry over and the Growth Benefit and the Maximum

125

Monthly Growth Benefit amount will be recalculated, and will increase, as stated above. Taking less than the Maximum Monthly Growth Benefit amount will not extend the Acceleration Benefit Duration or Extension Benefit Duration. This calculation is intended to permit you to take your remaining Growth Benefit over the same period you will receive your remaining Acceleration Benefit plus your Extension Benefit. Any Growth Benefit remaining at the end of the Extension Benefit Duration will continue to be available to you as LTC Benefit payments until exhausted, and will not be subject to a monthly maximum limit.

Example: Continuing the prior example if, during the first six months of the Contract Year, you requested that you be paid the entire Maximum Monthly Growth Benefit each month and then for the other six months you requested no Growth Benefit, there will be unused Growth Benefit for that contract year of $1,666.68 ($277.78 Maximum Monthly Growth Benefit x 6 months). On the next contract anniversary, the Maximum Monthly Growth Benefit will increase because there was unused Growth Benefit during the current Contract Year.

Electing to Receive LTC Benefits Before the 5^th Contract Anniversary

As we previously mentioned, we designed the LTC Rider to function most optimally if you do not start receiving LTC Benefits until on or after the 5^th contract anniversary. The LTC Rider is designed to provide the highest amount of monthly LTC Benefits if you wait until after the 5^th contract anniversary to receive LTC Benefit payments, though no matter when you start to receive LTC Benefit payments, we promise to pay you the same overall amount of LTC Benefits. The preceding discussion assumed that you do not begin taking LTC Benefit payments before the 5^th contract anniversary. However, you have the flexibility to begin taking LTC Benefit payments prior to the 5^th contract anniversary if the need arises. This section highlights the impact of taking LTC Benefit payments earlier.

When you purchase the LTC Rider, the LTC Benefit Duration is equal to 252 months and is comprised of 84 months (i.e., 7 years) of Acceleration Benefit Duration plus 168 months (i.e., 14 years) of Extension Benefit Duration. If you have not received LTC Benefits, on each contract anniversary up to the 5^th contract anniversary, we will recalculate the LTC Benefit Duration by subtracting 12 months from the Acceleration Benefit Duration and 24 months from the Extension Benefit Duration. This is important because the Acceleration Benefits and the Extension Benefits are paid monthly up to the Maximum Monthly Level Benefit amount and the Maximum Monthly Level Benefit amount is calculated based on the number of months remaining in the Acceleration Benefit Duration or Extension Benefit Duration.

The following chart illustrates how the LTC Benefit Durations decrease each year that you wait to receive LTC Benefit payments up to the 5^th contract anniversary. You should refer to this chart and carefully consider the information contained in the chart in order to determine the minimum Acceleration Benefit Duration and the minimum Extension Benefit Duration based on the Contract Year you start to submit requests for LTC Benefits.

LTC Benefit Duration Chart
Contract Year of First Request for Maximum Level Benefit amounts	Acceleration Benefit Duration	Extension Benefit Duration	Total LTC Benefit Duration
1*	84 months	168 months	252 months
2	72 months	144 months	216 months
3	60 months	120 months	180 months
4	48 months	96 months	144 months
5	36 months	72 months	108 months
6+	24 months	48 months	72 months

* You may not receive LTC Benefit payments prior to the first contract anniversary and satisfaction of the 90-day Deductible Period.

When a benefit payment less than the Maximum Monthly Level Benefit amount is made prior to the 5^th contract anniversary, we will recalculate your Maximum Monthly Level Benefit amount and it will increase, but we will not extend the Acceleration Benefit Duration. Accordingly, if you receive less than the Maximum Monthly Level Benefit amount in any Contract Year prior to the 5^th contract anniversary, the Maximum Monthly Level Benefit will be recalculated on the contract anniversary and will increase. In addition, the minimum Extension Benefit Duration will be recalculated on the contract anniversary and will decrease due to the higher Maximum Monthly Level Benefit amount. The Extension Benefit Duration will be recalculated to equal the Extension Benefit divided by the recalculated Maximum Monthly Level Benefit.

Example: The following chart provides an example of how the Maximum Monthly Level Benefit (annualized) increases each year that you wait to start receiving Acceleration Benefit payments up to the 5^th contract anniversary. This chart illustrates a Purchase Payment of $100,000, resulting in an Acceleration Benefit of $100,000 as of the Contract Year when you start to receive Acceleration Benefit payments. The example also assumes you have chosen the Level Benefit option and that the Maximum Monthly Level Benefit amount is taken each Contract Year starting at the beginning of the Contract Year and that no withdrawals have been made other than the illustrated LTC Benefit amounts.

126

Maximum Monthly Level Benefit (annualized) based on when Acceleration Benefit payments begin
LTC Benefit Duration	Contract Year	Acceleration Benefit payments Begin in Year 2	Acceleration Benefit payments Begin in Year 3	Acceleration Benefit payments Begin in Year 4	Benefit payments Begin in Year 5	Acceleration Benefit payments Begin in Year 6
Acceleration Benefit	1*
	2	$16,667

	7	$16,667	$20,000	$25,000	$33,000	$50,000
Extension Benefits	8	$16,667	$20,000	$25,000	$33,000	$50,000
	9	$16,667	$20,000	$25,000	$33,000	$50,000

	13	$16,667	$20,000	$25,000	$33,000
	14	$16,667	$20,000	$25,000

	17	$16,667	$20,000
	18	$16,667
	19	$16,667

* You may not receive LTC Benefit payments prior to the first contract anniversary and satisfaction of the 90-day Deductible Period. For illustrative purposes, this chart does not include satisfaction of the Deductible Period.

Example: Continuing the example illustrated by the chart, if you started to receive Acceleration Benefit payments during the 3rd Contract Year, the Maximum Monthly Level Benefit would be calculated as follows:
LTC Guaranteed Amount as of 2nd contract anniversary:		$100,000
Acceleration Benefit (equals LTC Guaranteed Amount):		$100,000
Extension Benefit (2 x Acceleration Benefit):		$200,000
Remaining Acceleration Benefit Duration (from LTC Benefit Duration chart)		60 months
Maximum Monthly Level Benefit
	($100,000 Acceleration Benefit ÷ 60 months):	$1,666.67 or $20,000 per year
Remaining Extension Benefit Duration (from LTC Benefit Duration chart)		120 months
By electing to start receiving Acceleration Benefit payments in the 3rd Contract Year, the Maximum Monthly Level Benefit (annualized) would be $20,000. If the Maximum Monthly Level Benefit were requested and paid out each month, the Acceleration Benefit Duration would be 60 months (5 years) followed by an Extension Benefit Duration of 120 months (10 years). The total available Acceleration and Extension Benefits would still be $300,000 ($100,000 Acceleration Benefit plus $200,000 Extension Benefit). If you waited to start receiving the Acceleration Benefit payments on or after the 5th contract anniversary, the annual benefit would have been $50,000 paid out over the minimum Acceleration and Extension Benefit Durations of 24 and 48 months respectively.
If you are receiving the Maximum Monthly Level Benefit each month, the Maximum Monthly Level Benefit will not change the following Contract Year. If you receive less than the Maximum Monthly Level Benefit amount in any Contract Year prior to the 5th contract anniversary, the Maximum Monthly Level Benefit will be recalculated on the contract anniversary and will increase. In addition, the minimum Extension Benefit Duration will be recalculated on the contract anniversary and will decrease due to the higher Maximum Monthly Level Benefit amount. The Extension Benefit Duration will be recalculated to equal the Extension Benefit divided by the recalculated Maximum Monthly Level Benefit.

127

Example: Continuing the previous example, the following is an example of how the Maximum Monthly Level Benefit amount and the minimum Extension Benefit Duration are recalculated on the 3rd contract anniversary where less than the Maximum Monthly Level Benefit amount has been requested. The example assumes the Level Benefit option has been chosen. The $100,000 LTC Guaranteed Amount as of the 2nd contract anniversary has been reduced by Acceleration Benefit payments of only $10,000 (paid in the third Contract Year) of the available annual amount of $20,000.
LTC Guaranteed Amount as of the 3rd contract anniversary
	($100,000 - $10,000 LTC Benefit payment in prior Contract Year):	$90,000
Acceleration Benefit (equals the LTC Guaranteed Amount):		$90,000
Extension Benefit (has not been reduced as no Extension Benefits have been paid):		$200,000
Minimum Acceleration Benefit Duration (from LTC Benefit Duration chart)		48 months
Maximum Monthly Level Benefit
	($90,000 Acceleration Benefit ÷ 48 months):	$1,875.00 or $22,500 per year
Minimum Extension Benefit Duration
	($200,000 Extension Benefit ÷ $1,875 Maximum Monthly Level Benefit):	107 months
The remaining Acceleration Benefit Duration after the 3rd contract anniversary is 48 months. The new Maximum Monthly Level Benefit amount increases to $22,500 (annualized) and the Extension Benefit Duration decreases to 107 months due to receiving less than the Maximum Monthly Level Benefit amount. Only one-half of the Maximum Monthly Level Benefit amount ($937.50) will be available to you if you are not confined to a nursing home or are not receiving hospice care.
On the 5th contract anniversary, we will recalculate the Maximum Monthly Level Benefit amount for the last time and it will not change thereafter unless you make an Excess Withdrawal. If after the 5th contract anniversary, you receive less than the Maximum Monthly Level Benefit amount in any given month, the Maximum Monthly Level Benefit amount will not be increased; but the minimum Acceleration Benefit Duration or minimum Extension Benefit Duration will be increased and will equal the remaining Acceleration Benefit or Extension Benefit divided by the Maximum Monthly Level Benefit amount.

Withdrawals

You may be able to make withdrawals pursuant to the withdrawal provision of your contract without a reduction to the LTC Benefits if the LTC Guaranteed Amount is less than the Contract Value. Under the LTC Rider, withdrawals are either Conforming Withdrawals or Excess Withdrawals. Conforming Withdrawals will not have any effect on the LTC Benefits and will reduce the Contract Value by the amount of the withdrawal. Excess Withdrawals reduce the LTC Benefits by the same percentage that the Excess Withdrawal reduced the Contract Value. Excess Withdrawals reduce the Contract Value by the amount of the withdrawal. The tax consequences of withdrawals are discussed in the Federal Tax Matters section of this prospectus.

All withdrawals you make, whether or not within the Conforming Withdrawal amount, will continue to be subject to any other terms and conditions contained in your contract, including surrender charges, unless one of the waiver of surrender charge provisions set forth in your prospectus is applicable. See The Contracts—Surrenders and Withdrawals and Charges and Other Deductions—Surrender Charge. All withdrawals, whether Conforming or Excess, will be applied against the contract’s free withdrawal provision. See General Provisions—Contract Free Withdrawal Provision for additional information.

Conforming Withdrawals

If available, you may make periodic withdrawals from your Contract Value in amounts less than or equal to the Conforming Withdrawal amount each Contract Year without reducing the LTC Benefits. Conforming Withdrawals may be withdrawn in addition to receiving LTC Benefit payments and are subject to surrender charges, if any. Conforming Withdrawals will not reduce the LTC Guaranteed Amount, the Acceleration Benefit, Extension Benefit, and if elected, the Growth Benefit. If the LTC Guaranteed Amount is equal to or greater than your Contract Value on a contract anniversary, any withdrawal in that Contract Year will not be a Conforming Withdrawal. Moreover, if you elect the Growth Benefit option, any withdrawal will be deemed an Excess Withdrawal unless you are age 76 or older or the maximum LTC Guaranteed Amount limit of $800,000 has been reached and your Contract Value exceeds the maximum LTC Guaranteed Amount on a contract anniversary, in which case you may withdraw an amount up to the Conforming Withdrawal amount for that Contract Year.

Conforming Withdrawal = any withdrawal that does not exceed during a contract year the greater of $0 and (a) minus (b) where:
(a)	equals 5% of the difference of the Contract Value over the LTC Guaranteed Amount as of the most recent contract anniversary (or, prior to the first contract anniversary, the contract date); and
(b)	equals all prior withdrawals in that Contract Year.

128

Excess Withdrawals

Excess Withdrawals are the cumulative amounts withdrawn from the contract during the Contract Year that exceeds the Conforming Withdrawal amount. Only that portion of the current withdrawal amount that exceeds the Conforming Withdrawal amount will be deemed to be an Excess Withdrawal. Any Excess Withdrawal that reduces the Contract Value to zero will terminate the LTC Rider and the only LTC Benefit that you may receive will be the Optional Nonforfeiture Benefit, if elected.

More specifically, Excess Withdrawals reduce various benefits in accordance with the following formula:
•	Multiply the benefit being affected (i.e., the Acceleration Benefit) before the Excess Withdrawal by (1 – the Reduction Percentage due to Excess Withdrawal).
•	The Reduction Percentage due to Excess Withdrawal = Excess Withdrawal ÷ Contract Value before the Excess Withdrawal.
Importantly, this means that the reduction could be more than the dollar amount withdrawn.

Excess Withdrawals will reduce the LTC Guaranteed Amount, Acceleration Benefit, Extension Benefit, Maximum Monthly Level Benefit and any Growth Benefit and Maximum Monthly Growth Benefit by the same percentage that the Excess Withdrawal reduces the Contract Value. This means that the reductions in these amounts could be more than the dollar amount withdrawn. In a declining market, Excess Withdrawals may substantially reduce or eliminate the LTC Benefits, the Maximum Monthly Level Benefit, and if elected, Maximum Monthly Growth Benefit.

Example: The following example shows how an Excess Withdrawal, in a declining market, reduces the Acceleration Benefit, LTC Guaranteed Amount, Maximum Monthly Level Benefit, Extension Benefit, Maximum Monthly Growth Benefit and Growth Benefit. The example assumes you have chosen the Growth Benefit option. Since the LTC Guaranteed Amount is greater than the Contract Value, any withdrawal is an Excess Withdrawal and there is no Conforming Withdrawal amount.
LTC Guaranteed Amount:		$320,000
Acceleration Benefit:		$120,000
Extension Benefit:		$240,000
Maximum Monthly Level Benefit:		$5,000
Growth Benefit:		$200,000
Maximum Monthly Growth Benefit		$2,778
Excess Withdrawal from Contract Value:		$4,000
Contract Value immediately prior to Excess Withdrawal:		$85,000
Reduction Percentage due to Excess Withdrawal
	[$4,000 Excess Withdrawal ÷ $85,000 Contract Value]:	4.71%
LTC Guaranteed Amount after Excess Withdrawal
	[$320,000 LTC Guaranteed Amount x (1-4.71%)]:	$304,928
Extension Benefit after Excess Withdrawal
	[$240,000 x (1-4.71%)]:	$228,696
Maximum Monthly Level Benefit after Excess Withdrawal
	[$5,000 Maximum Monthly Level Benefit x (1-4.71%)]:	$4,765
Growth Benefit after Excess Withdrawal [$200,000 Growth Benefit x (1-4.71%)]:		$190,580
Maximum Monthly Growth Benefit after Excess Withdrawal
	[$2,778 Maximum Monthly Growth Benefit x (1-4.71%)]:	$2,647

LTC Fixed Account

The LTC Fixed Account is part of the general account, and thus is not insulated from the claims of our general creditors. The LTC Fixed Account is designated to hold an amount equal to the LTC Guaranteed Amount while paying LTC Benefits. The LTC Fixed Account will offer a rate of interest that will be adjusted periodically and is guaranteed to be an effective rate of not less than the minimum guaranteed interest rate stated in your contract on amounts held in the LTC Fixed Account. Contracts issued in certain states may guarantee a higher minimum rate of interest than in other states. Refer to your contract for the specific guaranteed minimum interest rate applicable to your contract. See Fixed Side of the Contract for more information about the general account.

On the date we make the initial determination that you are eligible to receive LTC Benefits (as described in the “Establishing Benefit Eligibility” section), we will transfer Contract Value equal to the LTC Guaranteed Amount (or all Contract Value, if less) as of that date to the LTC Fixed Account. Amounts transferred to the LTC Fixed Account will no longer have the ability to participate in the performance of the variable Subaccounts. The Contract Value will be transferred proportionately from the variable Subaccounts and the

129

fixed account for use with dollar-cost averaging, if any, in which you are invested. Transfers of Contract Value to the LTC Fixed Account may reduce the Contract Value in the Subaccounts to zero. Acceleration Benefit payments and Growth Benefit payments (if elected) will first be deducted from the LTC Fixed Account. LTC Charges will be deducted proportionally from the LTC Fixed Account, the fixed account for use with dollar-cost averaging and the Subaccounts.

On the contract anniversary that follows the initial determination of eligibility to receive LTC Benefits and on each contract anniversary that follows, we will transfer Contract Value to and from the LTC Fixed Account, the Subaccounts and any other fixed account. The amount of Contract Value that will be transferred into the LTC Fixed Account will be equal to the difference, if any, between the LTC Guaranteed Amount and the Contract Value that is in the LTC Fixed Account. This may result in the entire Contract Value being allocated to the LTC Fixed Account. If the Contract Value in the LTC Fixed Account exceeds the LTC Guaranteed Amount, we will move Contract Value equal to the difference between the Contract Value and the LTC Guaranteed Amount from the LTC Fixed Account to the Subaccounts according to your instructions for future allocations.

If you begin receiving LTC Benefits and then stop receiving LTC Benefits for twelve consecutive months, we will allow you to transfer in installments the Contract Value in the LTC Fixed Account back to the Subaccounts. This transfer will be made under a twelve-month dollar-cost averaging service. See The Contracts – Additional Services for more details on dollar-cost averaging. If, after you stop receiving LTC Benefits and then at a later date recommence receiving benefits, sufficient Contract Value will be transferred back to the LTC Fixed Account so that the balance in the LTC Fixed Account equals the LTC Guaranteed Amount.

Termination

Termination Events

The LTC Rider will terminate under any of the following circumstances:

• termination of the contract;

• upon written request to terminate the LTC Rider after the 3^rd contract anniversary (you may not request to terminate the LTC Rider prior to the 3^rd contract anniversary);

• you elect to receive Annuity Payouts under any of the Annuity Payout options available under the contract, including but not limited to electing i4LIFE^® Advantage (with or without the Guaranteed Income Benefit);

• on the date the Contractowner is changed due to death or divorce;

• upon the death of the Covered Life;

• 45 days after the contract date if a signed duplicate copy of the contract amendment issued with the LTC Rider is not returned to Lincoln Life;

• an Excess Withdrawal reduces the Contract Value to zero;

• all LTC Benefits are reduced to zero;

• you terminate the LTC Rider under either Nonforfeiture Benefit provision;

• within the first 6 months following the contract date we determine that you made a misrepresentation in the application or contract amendment that was material to the issuance of the rider we may void or terminate the rider;

• after the first 6 months but prior to the end of the first 24 months after the contract date we determine that you made a misrepresentation that was material to both the issuance of the rider and a claim for LTC Benefits we may void or terminate the rider.;

• after 24 months from the contract date if we determine that you knowingly or intentionally misrepresented relevant facts relating to your health the LTC Rider may be voided or terminated by us.

Upon termination of the LTC Rider, the LTC Benefits (except benefits provided under either Nonforfeiture Benefit provision) and LTC Charge will terminate and a proportional amount of the LTC Charge will be deducted. Contract Value in the LTC Fixed Account will be transferred to the Subaccounts according to your future Subaccount allocation instructions. The termination will not result in any increase to the Contract Value to equal the LTC Guaranteed Amount.

Nonforfeiture Benefit

The LTC Rider provides a nonforfeiture benefit (“Nonforfeiture Benefit”) if you terminate the LTC Rider in certain circumstances (described below). The Nonforfeiture Benefit provides a reduced long-term care insurance benefit.

• There is a Nonforfeiture Benefit called the Contingent Nonforfeiture Benefit, provided without charge that pays a reduced long-term care insurance benefit if you terminate the LTC Rider due to a specified increase of the charge for the Extension Benefit and/or the Optional Nonforfeiture Benefit.

• You may also choose to add an enhanced Nonforfeiture Benefit, called the Optional Nonforfeiture Benefit, for an additional charge, that pays a reduced long-term care insurance benefit. It is “enhanced” because you may terminate the LTC Rider for any reason after 3 years, rather than just if there is a specified increase of the charge for the Extension Benefit and/or the Optional Nonforfeiture Benefit.

130

Once either Nonforfeiture Benefit is in effect, the LTC Charges will terminate. You should be aware that the Nonforfeiture Benefit provision provides only a limited amount of LTC Benefits. Moreover, the LTC Benefits provided by the Contingent Nonforfeiture Benefit and the Optional Nonforfeiture Benefit are equivalent; (this amount is hereinafter referred to as the “Nonforfeiture Benefit Amount”) the important difference between the two are the conditions under which they will be paid. These conditions are described below. The Nonforfeiture Benefit Amount is the greater of:

• one month’s Maximum Monthly Level Benefit in effect on the date that the LTC Rider is terminated; or

• an amount equal to the sum of all Extension Benefit Charges and Optional Nonforfeiture Benefit Charges paid for the LTC Rider minus any Extension Benefits paid prior to the date the LTC Rider is terminated.

Payments of the Nonforfeiture Benefit Amount are made only after the seventh contract anniversary and after the conditions set forth below are met. Payment of the Nonforfeiture Benefit Amount is subject to the benefit eligibility and deductible period requirements described in the Establishing Benefit Eligibility section. Nonforfeiture Benefit Amount payments must be requested as described in the Requesting LTC Benefits section. Nonforfeiture Benefit Amount payments will be payable monthly up to the Maximum Monthly Level Benefit amount in effect on the date that the LTC Rider is terminated.

Once the Nonforfeiture Benefit provision is effective, it will remain effective until the earlier of the death of the Covered Life or the date the total Nonforfeiture Benefit Amounts have been fully paid out. Upon the death of the Covered Life, the Nonforfeiture Benefit terminates. The Nonforfeiture Benefit Amount will not exceed the remaining amount of Extension Benefits that would have been paid if the LTC Rider had remained in force.

Contingent Nonforfeiture Benefit. The Contingent Nonforfeiture Benefit is provided at no charge on all LTC Riders. The Contingent Nonforfeiture Benefit will pay you the Nonforfeiture Benefit Amount if both of the following conditions are met:

• the Extension Benefit Charge rate and/or Optional Nonforfeiture Benefit Charge rate, if elected, has increased by more than a specified percentage over the initial charge; and

• you surrender your contract or elect to terminate the LTC Rider within 120 days after the Extension Benefit Charge rate and/or Optional Nonforfeiture Benefit Charge rate, if elected, is increased.

The specified percentage of change to the Extension Benefit Charge that will trigger the availability of Contingent Nonforfeiture Benefit is determined by your age as of the contract date. The specified percentages are as follows:

Age on Contract Date	Percent Over Initial Extension Benefit Charge	Age	Percent Over Initial Extension Benefit Charge
45 – 49	130%	66	48%
50 – 54	110%	67	46%
55 – 59	90%	68	44%
60	70%	69	42%
61	66%	70	40%
62	62%	71	38%
63	58%	72	36%
64	54%	73	34%
65	50%	74	32%

Optional Nonforfeiture Benefit. As noted, for an additional charge, you may purchase the Optional Nonforfeiture Benefit. The Optional Nonforfeiture Benefit provides for payment of the Nonforfeiture Benefit Amount under the following conditions:

• you surrender the contract at least three years after the contract date; or

• you submit a written request to terminate the LTC Rider at least three years after the contract date; or

• you elect to receive annuity payments under any Annuity Payout option available in the contract or any other annuity settlement option we make available and commencing prior to the contract’s maturity date and at least three years after the contract date.

If you purchase the Optional Nonforfeiture Benefit and terminate the LTC Rider under conditions applicable under either the Contingent Nonforfeiture Benefit and the Optional Nonforfeiture Benefit, only the one applicable Nonforfeiture Benefit will be payable. The Optional Nonforfeiture provision may not be purchased after the LTC Rider is issued.

General Provisions

Death Benefits

The LTC Rider has no provision for Death Benefits, other than the Death Benefit provision in the underlying contract. The LTC Rider terminates upon death of the Covered Life and the LTC Benefits, including the LTC Guaranteed Amount, will not be payable under any

131

Death Benefit option. At the time of death, if the Contract Value equals zero, no Death Benefit options (as described in the “Death Benefit” section of the prospectus) will be in effect. If a Contractowner who had been receiving LTC Benefit payments dies while the contract is in effect, we reserve the right to withhold a portion of any Death Benefits that would otherwise be payable until we have verified that we have received all requests for LTC Benefits. Death Benefit distributions in accordance with Code section 72(s) or 401(a) (9) will not be made later than five years from the date of the Contractowner’s death. The EEB Death Benefit is not available with this LTC Rider.

The Guarantee of Principal Death Benefit and Enhanced Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit both calculate Death Benefit amounts by deducting withdrawals in the same proportion that the withdrawal reduces the Contract Value. For purposes of calculating Death Benefits under those contracts, Acceleration Benefit payments and Growth Benefit payments, as well as Conforming and Excess Withdrawals, are considered withdrawals that reduce the amount of the Death Benefit. See The Contracts – Death Benefits.

Contract Free Withdrawal Provision All withdrawals, whether Conforming or Excess, as well as LTC Benefit payments, will be applied against the contract’s free amount, which is the amount that may be withdrawn annually without imposition of a surrender charge. Thus, Acceleration Benefit or Growth Benefit payments will reduce the amount available for free withdrawal, even though those payments do not incur a surrender charge. See Charges and Other Deductions – Surrender Charge for additional information on the free amount.

Investment Requirements

By purchasing the LTC Rider, you will be limited in how you can invest in the Subaccounts and the fixed account. You will be subject to Investment Requirements. See The Contracts – Investment Requirements for a description of these investment restrictions. The Investment Requirements will apply to your entire Contract Value. No Purchase Payments can be directly invested in the LTC Fixed Account.

Federal Taxation

Qualified Long-Term Care Insurance Contract. The LTC Rider is a Qualified Long-Term Care Insurance Contract under section 7702B(b) of the Internal Revenue Code. As described above, the LTC Charge is deducted from the Contract Value on a quarterly basis. For tax years beginning after December 31, 2009, the deductions from the Contract Value to pay LTC Charges will not be reported as taxable distributions from the variable annuity contract and such deductions will reduce the Contractowners basis in the contract. The deductions from the Contract Value will reduce the Contract Value, but not below zero.

Federal Income Tax Treatment of Benefits under the LTC Rider. The LTC Benefits provided under the LTC Rider are treated as provided under a “Qualified Long-Term Care Insurance Contract,” as that term is defined under section 7702B(b) of the Internal Revenue Code. This discussion outlines our understanding of the federal income tax treatment of the LTC Benefits, as well as how the LTC Benefit payments will be reported to you. However, you should always consult a tax advisor about the application of tax rules to your individual situation.

Benefits that you receive under a Qualified Long-Term Care Insurance Contract will not be treated as taxable income to you as long as such benefits do not exceed the greater of (i) the expenses that you actually incur for Covered Services, or (ii) a maximum per diem, or daily, dollar amount determined by the IRS. All payments that you receive under all Qualified Long-Term Care Insurance Contracts, as well as any payments under an accelerated benefit rider made to you if you are chronically ill, are included in determining whether the benefit limits have been exceeded and reduce the Contractowner’s basis in the contract. These payments may also reduce the basis in your annuity contract.

If the LTC Benefits that you receive exceed the benefit limits outlined above, the amount of the excess benefits may represent taxable income to you. If you are under age 59½ at the time of the payment of excess benefits, an additional 10% “penalty tax” may apply.

If the Maximum Monthly LTC Benefit amount, if applicable, exceeds the limits under IRS rules (currently $330.00 per day or $120,450 annually for 2015), amounts received by you in excess of the IRS limit may be excludable from ordinary income to the extent that you have actually incurred long-term care expenses of that amount. You should take into account the IRS limit when selecting the amount of monthly LTC Benefit you would like to receive. We recommend that you discuss the tax implications of receiving benefits in excess of the IRS limit with a tax advisor.

Maturity Date

When you purchase the LTC Rider, the maturity date set forth in your contract will be the Annuitant’s 99^th birthday. The maturity date is the date when you must choose an Annuity Payout option and annuitize your contract. Except as set forth below, annuitization of your contract will terminate the LTC Rider.

If you are receiving LTC Benefit payments under this LTC Rider at the maturity date (when you reach age 99), we will extend the maturity date and continue to provide LTC Benefit payments, subject to the terms and conditions of the LTC Rider. If you decide to elect an Annuity Payout option and annuitize your Contract Value, the LTC Rider will terminate.

132

If you are not receiving LTC Benefit payments at the maturity date and you have a Contract Value, you will need to elect an Annuity Payout option available under your contract. This will terminate the Acceleration and Growth Benefits (that would have been paid from your Contract Value) and also the LTC Charge. However, the Extension Benefit, if any, will continue on your contract.

If LTC Benefit payments end after you reach age 99 and you still have value in your contract, you must elect an Annuity Payout option within 90 days after the last LTC Benefit payment is made. This will terminate the LTC Rider. An exception to this occurs if LTC Benefit payments stop after age 99 because you are not currently eligible to receive benefits (for example, you are no longer receiving LTC Services). In this situation, the Acceleration and Growth Benefits that would have been paid from your Contract Value will terminate as well as the LTC Charge. Any Extension Benefit will remain in effect to provide payments in the event of future eligibility for LTC Benefits.

Any LTC Benefit paid after age 99 will be paid in the same manner as any LTC Benefit previously described in this discussion, including, but not limited to, eligibility, deductible period and maximum monthly limits.

Misstatement of Age or Sex

If your age or sex has been misstated, we will adjust the LTC Charges to the amounts that would have applied based on your correct age or sex. If the LTC Rider would not have been issued at the correct age and sex, it will be cancelled and we will refund to you all LTC Charges paid minus the amount of LTC Benefits that have been paid.

LTC Rider Return Privilege

You may cancel the LTC Rider within 30 days of your receipt of the LTC Rider for any reason by delivering or mailing the LTC Rider, postage prepaid, to the Home Office at PO Box 7866, 1300 Clinton Street, Fort Wayne, IN 46802-7866. A LTC Rider cancelled under this provision will be void and any LTC Charges assessed will be refunded. Cancellation of the LTC Rider under this provision will not result in cancellation of the contract.

If you surrender the entire contract within the 30 day LTC Rider free-look period but after the underlying contract’s free-look period, any applicable surrender charges will be deducted from the Contract Value.

Monthly Statements

In addition to the quarterly variable annuity statement, we will send you a monthly statement once you begin receiving LTC Benefit payments detailing the amount of LTC Benefits that have been paid and remaining available LTC Benefits. The monthly statement will only be sent to you for those months that you received an LTC Benefit. The statement will also show the impact of such LTC Benefit payments on your Contract Value and Death Benefit, if any. See General Provisions – Death Benefits for a description of the impact of the LTC Rider on Death Benefits.

Annuity Payouts

When you apply for a contract, you may select any Annuity Commencement Date permitted by law, which is usually on or before the Annuitant's 99^th birthday. Your broker-dealer may recommend that you annuitize at an earlier age. As an alternative, Contractowners with Lincoln SmartSecurity^® Advantage may elect to annuitize their Guaranteed Amount under the Guaranteed Amount Annuity Payout Option. Contractowners with Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage may elect the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount Annuity Payout Option. Contractowners withany version of Lincoln Lifetime Income^SM Advantage 2.0 may elect the Guaranteed Annual Income Amount Annuity Payout Option.

The contract provides optional forms of payouts of annuities (annuity options), each of which is payable on a variable basis, a fixed basis or a combination of both as you specify. The contract provides that all or part of the Contract Value may be used to purchase an Annuity Payout option.

You may elect Annuity Payouts in monthly, quarterly, semiannual or annual installments. If the payouts from any Subaccount would be or become less than $50, we have the right to reduce their frequency until the payouts are at least $50 each. Following are explanations of the annuity options available.

Annuity Options

The annuity options outlined below do not apply to Contractowners who have elected i4LIFE^®Advantage or any version of i4LIFE^® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit, the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount Annuity Payout Option, the Guaranteed Amount Annuity Payout Option, or the Guaranteed Annual Income Amount Annuity Payout Option.

133

Life Annuity. This option offers a periodic payout during the lifetime of the Annuitant and ends with the last payout before the death of the Annuitant. This option offers the highest periodic payout since there is no guarantee of a minimum number of payouts or provision for a Death Benefit for Beneficiaries. However, there is the risk under this option that the recipient would receive no payouts if the Annuitant dies before the date set for the first payout; only one payout if death occurs before the second scheduled payout, and so on.

Life Annuity with Payouts Guaranteed for Designated Period. This option guarantees periodic payouts during a designated period, usually 10 or 20 years, and then continues throughout the lifetime of the Annuitant. The designated period is selected by the Contractowner.

Joint Life Annuity. This option offers a periodic payout during the joint lifetime of the Annuitant and a designated joint Annuitant. The payouts continue during the lifetime of the survivor. However, under a joint life annuity, if both Annuitants die before the date set for the first payout, no payouts will be made. Only one payment would be made if both deaths occur before the second scheduled payout, and so on.

Joint Life Annuity with Guaranteed Period. This option guarantees periodic payouts during a designated period, usually 10 or 20 years, and continues during the joint lifetime of the Annuitant and a designated joint Annuitant. The payouts continue during the lifetime of the survivor. The designated period is selected by the Contractowner.

Joint Life and Two Thirds to Survivor Annuity. This option provides a periodic payout during the joint lifetime of the Annuitant and a designated joint Annuitant. When one of the joint Annuitants dies, the survivor receives two thirds of the periodic payout made when both were alive.

Joint Life and Two-Thirds Survivor Annuity with Guaranteed Period. This option provides a periodic payout during the joint lifetime of the Annuitant and a joint Annuitant. When one of the joint Annuitants dies, the survivor receives two-thirds of the periodic payout made when both were alive. This option further provides that should one or both of the Annuitants die during the elected guaranteed period, usually 10 or 20 years, full benefit payment will continue for the rest of the guaranteed period.

Unit Refund Life Annuity. This option offers a periodic payout during the lifetime of the Annuitant with the guarantee that upon death a payout will be made of the value of the number of Annuity Units (see Variable Annuity Payouts) equal to the excess, if any, of:

• the total amount applied under this option divided by the Annuity Unit value for the date payouts begin, minus

• the Annuity Units represented by each payout to the Annuitant multiplied by the number of payouts paid before death.

The value of the number of Annuity Units is computed on the date the death claim is approved for payment by the Home Office.

Life Annuity with Cash Refund. Fixed annuity benefit payments that will be made for the lifetime of the Annuitant with the guarantee that upon death, should (a) the total dollar amount applied to purchase this option be greater than (b) the fixed annuity benefit payment multiplied by the number of annuity benefit payments paid prior to death, then a refund payment equal to the dollar amount of (a) minus (b) will be made.

Under the annuity options listed above, you may not make withdrawals. Other options, with or without withdrawal features, may be made available by us. You may pre-select an Annuity Payout option as a method of paying the Death Benefit to a Beneficiary. If you do, the Beneficiary cannot change this payout option. You may change or revoke in writing to our Home Office, any such selection, unless such selection was made irrevocable. If you have not already chosen an Annuity Payout option, the Beneficiary may choose any Annuity Payout option. At death, options are only available to the extent they are consistent with the requirements of the contract as well as Sections 72(s) and 401(a)(9) of the tax code, if applicable.

General Information

Any previously selected Death Benefit in effect before the Annuity Commencement Date will no longer be available on and after the Annuity Commencement Date. You may change the Annuity Commencement Date, change the annuity option or change the allocation of the investment among Subaccounts up to 30 days before the scheduled Annuity Commencement Date, upon written notice to the Home Office. You must give us at least 30 days’ notice before the date on which you want payouts to begin. We may require proof of age, sex, or survival of any payee upon whose age, sex, or survival payments depend.

Unless you select another option, the contract automatically provides for a life annuity with Annuity Payouts guaranteed for 10 years (on a fixed, variable or combination fixed and variable basis, in proportion to the account allocations at the time of annuitization) except when a joint life payout is required by law. Under any option providing for guaranteed period payouts, the number of payouts which remain unpaid at the date of the Annuitant’s death (or surviving Annuitant’s death in case of joint life Annuity) will be paid to you or your Beneficiary as payouts become due after we are in receipt of:

• proof, satisfactory to us, of the death;

• written authorization for payment; and

• all claim forms, fully completed.

134

Variable Annuity Payouts

Variable Annuity Payouts will be determined using:

• The Contract Value on the Annuity Commencement Date, less any surrender charges on Purchase Payments made within twelve months of annuitization and applicable premium taxes;

• The annuity tables contained in the contract;

• The annuity option selected; and

• The investment performance of the fund(s) selected.

To determine the amount of payouts, we make this calculation:

1.	Determine the dollar amount of the first periodic payout; then
2.	Credit the contract with a fixed number of Annuity Units equal to the first periodic payout divided by the Annuity Unit value; and
3.	Calculate the value of the Annuity Units each period thereafter.

Annuity Payouts assume an investment return of 3%, 4%, 5%, or 6% per year, as applied to the applicable mortality table. Some of these assumed interest rates may not be available in your state; therefore, please check with your registered representative. You may choose your assumed interest rate at the time you elect a variable Annuity Payout on the administrative form provided by us. The higher the assumed interest rate you choose, the higher your initial annuity payment will be. The amount of each payout after the initial payout will depend upon how the underlying fund(s) perform, relative to the assumed rate. If the actual net investment rate (annualized) exceeds the assumed rate, the payment will increase at a rate proportional to the amount of such excess. Conversely, if the actual rate is less than the assumed rate, annuity payments will decrease. The higher the assumed interest rate, the less likely future annuity payments are to increase, or the payments will increase more slowly than if a lower assumed rate was used. There is a more complete explanation of this calculation in the SAI.

Fixed Side of the Contract

Purchase Payments , Bonus Credits and Persistency Credits allocated to the fixed side of the contract become part of our general account, and do not participate in the investment experience of the VAA. The general account is subject to regulation and supervision by the Indiana Department of Insurance as well as the insurance laws and regulations of the jurisdictions in which the contracts are distributed.

In reliance on certain exemptions, exclusions and rules, we have not registered interests in the general account as a security under the Securities Act of 1933 and have not registered the general account as an investment company under the 1940 Act. Accordingly, neither the general account nor any interests in it are regulated under the 1933 Act or the 1940 Act. We have been advised that the staff of the SEC has not made a review of the disclosures which are included in this prospectus which relate to our general account and to the fixed account under the contract. These disclosures, however, may be subject to certain provisions of the federal securities laws relating to the accuracy and completeness of statements made in prospectuses. This prospectus is generally intended to serve as a disclosure document only for aspects of the contract involving the VAA, and therefore contains only selected information regarding the fixed side of the contract. Complete details regarding the fixed side of the contract are in the contract.

We guarantee an annual effective interest rate of not less than 1.50% per year on amounts held in a fixed account. Any amount surrendered, withdrawn from or transferred out of a fixed account prior to the expiration of the Guaranteed Period is subject to the Interest Adjustment (see Interest Adjustment and Charges and Other Deductions). This may reduce your value upon surrender, withdrawal or transfer, but will not reduce the amount below the value it would have had if 1.50% (or the guaranteed minimum interest rate for your contract) interest had been credited to the fixed account. Refer to Transfers before the Annuity Commencement Date and Transfers after the Annuity Commencement Date for additional transfer restrictions from the fixed account.

ANY INTEREST IN EXCESS OF 1.50% (OR THE GUARANTEED MINIMUM INTEREST RATE STATED IN YOUR CONTRACT) WILL BE DECLARED IN ADVANCE AT OUR SOLE DISCRETION. CONTRACTOWNERS BEAR THE RISK THAT NO INTEREST IN EXCESS OF THE MINIMUM INTEREST RATE WILL BE DECLARED.

Your contract may not offer a fixed account or if permitted by your contract, we may discontinue accepting Purchase Payments or transfers into the fixed side of the contract at any time. Please contact your registered representative for further information.

Guaranteed Periods

The fixed account is divided into separate Guaranteed Periods, which credit guaranteed interest.

You may allocate Purchase Payments to one or more Guaranteed Periods of 1 to 10 years. We may add Guaranteed Periods or discontinue accepting Purchase Payments into one or more Guaranteed Periods at any time. The minimum amount of any Purchase Payment that can be allocated to a Guaranteed Period is $2,000. Each Purchase Payment and its corresponding Bonus Credit, if applicable, allocated to the fixed account will start its own Guaranteed Period and will earn a guaranteed interest rate. The duration of the Guaranteed Period affects the guaranteed interest rate of the fixed account. A Guaranteed Period ends on the date after the number of

135

calendar years in the Guaranteed Period. Interest will be credited daily at a guaranteed rate that is equal to the effective annual rate determined on the first day of the Guaranteed Period. Amounts surrendered, transferred or withdrawn prior to the end of the Guaranteed Period will be subject to the Interest Adjustment. Each Guaranteed Period Purchase Payment and its corresponding Bonus Credit, if applicable, will be treated separately for purposes of determining any applicable Interest Adjustment. You may transfer amounts from the fixed account to the variable Subaccount(s) subject to the following restrictions:

• fixed account transfers are limited to 25% of the value of that fixed account in any 12-month period; and

• the minimum amount that can be transferred is $300 or, if less, the amount in the fixed account.

Because of these restrictions, it may take several years to transfer amounts from the fixed account to the variable Subaccounts. You should carefully consider whether the fixed account meets your investment criteria. Any amount withdrawn from the fixed account may be subject to any applicable surrender charges, account fees and premium taxes.

We will notify the Contractowner in writing at least 30 days prior to the expiration date for any Guaranteed Period amount. A new Guaranteed Period of the same duration as the previous Guaranteed Period will begin automatically at the end of the previous Guaranteed Period, unless we receive, prior to the end of a Guaranteed Period, a written election by the Contractowner. The written election may request the transfer of the Guaranteed Period amount to a different fixed account or to a variable Subaccount from among those being offered by us. Transfers of any Guaranteed Period amount which become effective upon the date of expiration of the applicable Guaranteed Period are not subject to the limitation of twelve transfers per Contract Year or the additional fixed account transfer restrictions.

Interest Adjustment

Any surrender, withdrawal or transfer of a Guaranteed Period amount before the end of the Guaranteed Period (other than dollar cost averaging, cross-reinvestment, Maximum Annual Withdrawals under Lincoln SmartSecurity^® Advantage or Regular Income Payments under i4LIFE^® Advantage) will be subject to the Interest Adjustment. A surrender, withdrawal or transfer effective upon the expiration date of the Guaranteed Period will not be subject to the Interest Adjustment. The Interest Adjustment will be applied to the amount being surrendered, withdrawn or transferred. The Interest Adjustment will be applied after the deduction of any applicable account fees and before any applicable transfer charges. Any transfer, withdrawal, or surrender of Contract Value from a fixed account will be increased or decreased by an Interest Adjustment, unless the transfer, withdrawal or surrender is effective:

• during the free look period (See Return Privilege).

• on the expiration date of a Guaranteed Period.

• as a result of the death of the Contractowner or Annuitant.

• subsequent to the diagnosis of a terminal illness of the Contractowner. Diagnosis of the terminal illness must be after the effective date of the contract and result in a life expectancy of less than one year, as determined by a qualified professional medical practitioner. For contracts with Bonus Credits, Purchase Payments must be invested for at least twelve months before this waiver will apply.

• subsequent to the admittance of the Contractowner into an accredited nursing home or equivalent health care facility. Admittance into such facility must be after the effective date of the contract and continue for 90 consecutive days prior to the surrender or withdrawal. For contracts with Bonus Credits, Purchase Payments must be invested for at least twelve months before this waiver will apply.

• subsequent to the permanent and total disability of the Contractowner if such disability begins after the effective date of the contract and prior to the 65^th birthday of the Contractowner. For contracts with Bonus Credits, Purchase Payments must be invested for at least twelve months before this waiver will apply.

• upon annuitization of the contract.

These provisions may not be applicable to your contract or available in your state. Please check with your registered representative regarding the availability of these provisions.

In general, the Interest Adjustment reflects the relationship between the yield rate in effect at the time a Purchase Payment is allocated to a Guaranteed Period under the contract and the yield rate in effect at the time of the Purchase Payment’s surrender, withdrawal or transfer. It also reflects the time remaining in the Guaranteed Period. If the yield rate at the time of the surrender, withdrawal or transfer is lower than the yield rate at the time the Purchase Payment was allocated, then the application of the Interest Adjustment will generally result in a higher payment at the time of the surrender, withdrawal or transfer. Similarly, if the yield rate at the time of surrender, withdrawal or transfer is higher than the yield rate at the time of the allocation of the Purchase Payment, then the application of the Interest Adjustment will generally result in a lower payment at the time of the surrender, withdrawal or transfer. The yield rate is published by the Federal Reserve Board.

The Interest Adjustment is calculated by multiplying the transaction amount by:

(1+A)n	–1
(1+B +K)n

136

where:

A = yield rate for a U.S. Treasury security with time to maturity equal to the Guaranteed Period, determined at the beginning of the Guaranteed Period.

B = yield rate for a U.S. Treasury security with time to maturity equal to the time remaining in the Guaranteed Period if greater than one year, determined at the time of surrender, withdrawal or transfer. For remaining periods of one year or less, the yield rate for a one year U.S. Treasury security is used.

K = a 0.25% adjustment (unless otherwise limited by applicable state law). This adjustment builds into the formula a factor representing direct and indirect costs to us associated with liquidating general account assets in order to satisfy surrender requests. This adjustment of 0.25% has been added to the denominator of the formula because it is anticipated that a substantial portion of applicable general account portfolio assets will be in relatively illiquid securities. Thus, in addition to direct transaction costs, if such securities must be sold (e.g., because of surrenders), the market price may be lower. Accordingly, even if interest rates decline, there will not be a positive adjustment until this factor is overcome, and then any adjustment will be lower than otherwise, to compensate for this factor. Similarly, if interest rates rise, any negative adjustment will be greater than otherwise, to compensate for this factor. If interest rates stay the same, there will be no Interest Adjustment.

n = the number of years remaining in the Guaranteed Period (e.g., 1 year and 73 days = 1 + (73 divided by 365) = 1.2 years)

Straight-Line interpolation is used for periods to maturity not quoted.

See the SAI for examples of the application of the Interest Adjustment.

Small Contract Surrenders

We may surrender your contract, in accordance with the laws of your state if:

• your Contract Value drops below certain state specified minimum amounts ($1,000 or less) for any reason, including if your Contract Value decreases due to the performance of the Subaccounts you selected;

• no Purchase Payments have been received for two (2) full, consecutive Contract Years; and

• the annuity benefit at the Annuity Commencement Date would be less than $20.00 per month (these requirements may differ in some states).

At least 60 days before we surrender your contract, we will send you a letter at your last address we have on file, to inform you that your contract will be surrendered. You will have the opportunity to make additional Purchase Payments to bring your Contract Value above the minimum level to avoid surrender. If we surrender your contract, we will not assess any surrender charge. We will not surrender your contract if you are receiving guaranteed payments from us under one of the Living Benefit Riders.

Delay of Payments

Contract proceeds from the VAA will be paid within seven days, except:

• when the NYSE is closed (other than weekends and holidays);

• times when market trading is restricted or the SEC declares an emergency, and we cannot value units or the funds cannot redeem shares; or

• when the SEC so orders to protect Contractowners.

If, pursuant to SEC rules, an underlying money market fund suspends payment of redemption proceeds in connection with a liquidation of the fund, we will delay payment of any transfer, partial withdrawal, surrender, loan, or Death Benefit from the money market sub-account until the fund is liquidated. Payment of contract proceeds from the fixed account may be delayed for up to six months.

Due to federal laws designed to counter terrorism and prevent money laundering by criminals, we may be required to reject a Purchase Payment and/or deny payment of a request for transfers, withdrawals, surrenders, or Death Benefits, until instructions are received from the appropriate regulator. We also may be required to provide additional information about a Contractowner's account to government regulators.

Reinvestment Privilege

You may elect to make a reinvestment purchase with any part of the proceeds of a surrender/withdrawal, (including previously credited Bonus Credits), and we will recredit that portion of the surrender/withdrawal charges attributable to the amount returned.

This election must be made by your written authorization to us on an approved Lincoln reinvestment form and received in our Home Office within 30 days of the date of the surrender/withdrawal, and the repurchase must be of a contract covered by this prospectus. In the case of a qualified retirement plan, a representation must be made that the proceeds being used to make the purchase have retained their tax-favored status under an arrangement for which the contracts offered by this prospectus are designed. The number of Accumulation Units which will be credited when the proceeds are reinvested will be based on the value of the Accumulation Unit(s) on the next Valuation Date. This computation will occur following receipt of the proceeds and request for reinvestment at the Home

137

Office. You may utilize the reinvestment privilege only once. No Bonus Credits will apply when a reinvestment purchase occurs. For tax reporting purposes, we will treat a surrender/withdrawal and a subsequent reinvestment purchase as separate transactions (and a Form 1099 may be issued, if applicable). Any taxable distribution that is reinvested may still be reported as taxable. You should consult a tax adviser before you request a surrender/withdrawal or subsequent reinvestment purchase.

Amendment of Contract

We reserve the right to amend the contract to meet the requirements of the 1940 Act or other applicable federal or state laws or regulations. You will be notified in writing of any changes, modifications or waivers. Any changes are subject to prior approval of your state’s insurance department (if required).

Distribution of the Contracts

Lincoln Financial Distributors, Inc. (“LFD”) serves as Principal Underwriter of this contract. LFD is affiliated with Lincoln Life and is registered as a broker-dealer with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is a member of FINRA. The Principal Underwriter has entered into selling agreements with broker-dealers that are unaffiliated with us. While the Principal Underwriter has the legal authority to make payments to broker-dealers which have entered into selling agreements, we will make such payments on behalf of the Principal Underwriter in compliance with appropriate regulations. We also pay on behalf of LFD certain of its operating expenses related to the distribution of this and other of our contracts. The Principal Underwriter may also offer “non-cash compensation”, as defined under FINRA’s rules, which includes among other things, merchandise, gifts, marketing support, sponsorships, seminars, entertainment and travel expenses. The following paragraphs describe how payments are made by us and the Principal Underwriter to various parties.

Compensation Paid to Unaffiliated Selling Firms. The Principal Underwriter pays commissions to all Selling Firms. The maximum commission the Principal Underwriter pays to Selling Firms is 5.25% of Purchase Payments, plus 0.30% annual trail compensation beginning in years two and beyond. Some Selling Firms may elect to receive a lower commission when a Purchase Payment is made along with an earlier quarterly payment based on Contract Value for so long as the contract remains in effect. Upon annuitization, the maximum commission the Principal Underwriter pays to Selling Firms is 5.25% of annuitized value and/or ongoing annual compensation of up to 1.05% of annuity value or statutory reserves. LFD also acts as wholesaler of the contracts and performs certain marketing and other functions in support of the distribution and servicing of the contracts.

LFD may pay certain Selling Firms or their affiliates additional amounts for, among other things: (1) “preferred product” treatment of the contracts in their marketing programs, which may include marketing services and increased access to registered representatives; (2) sales promotions relating to the contracts; (3) costs associated with sales conferences and educational seminars for their registered representatives; (4) other sales expenses incurred by them; (5) and inclusion in the financial products the Selling Firm offers. Lincoln Life may provide loans to broker-dealers or their affiliates to help finance marketing and distribution of the contracts, and those loans may be forgiven if aggregate sales goals are met. In addition, we may provide staffing or other administrative support and services to broker-dealers who distribute the contracts. LFD, as wholesaler, may make bonus payments to certain Selling Firms based on aggregate sales of our variable insurance contracts (including the contracts) or persistency standards. These additional payments are not offered to all Selling Firms, and the terms of any particular agreement governing the payments may vary among Selling Firms.

These additional types of compensation are not offered to all Selling Firms. The terms of any particular agreement governing compensation may vary among Selling Firms and the amounts may be significant. The prospect of receiving, or the receipt of, additional compensation may provide Selling Firms and/or their registered representatives with an incentive to favor sales of the contracts over other variable annuity contracts (or other investments) with respect to which a Selling Firm does not receive additional compensation, or lower levels of additional compensation. You may wish to take such payment arrangements into account when considering and evaluating any recommendation relating to the contracts. Additional information relating to compensation paid in 2014 is contained in the Statement of Additional Information (SAI).

Compensation Paid to Other Parties. Depending on the particular selling arrangements, there may be others whom LFD compensates for the distribution activities. For example, LFD may compensate certain “wholesalers”, who control access to certain selling offices, for access to those offices or for referrals, and that compensation may be separate from the compensation paid for sales of the contracts. LFD may compensate marketing organizations, associations, brokers or consultants which provide marketing assistance and other services to broker-dealers who distribute the contracts, and which may be affiliated with those broker-dealers. Commissions and other incentives or payments described above are not charged directly to Contractowners or the VAA. All compensation is paid from our resources, which include fees and charges imposed on your contract.

Contractowner Questions

The obligations to purchasers under the contracts are those of Lincoln Life. This prospectus provides a general description of the material features of the contract. Contracts, endorsements and riders may vary as required by state law. Questions about your contract should be directed to us at 1-888-868-2583.

Federal Tax Matters

Introduction

The Federal income tax treatment of the contract is complex and sometimes uncertain. The Federal income tax rules may vary with your particular circumstances. This discussion does not include all the Federal income tax rules that may affect you and your contract. This discussion also does not address other Federal tax consequences (including consequences of sales to foreign individuals or entities), or state or local tax consequences, associated with the contract. As a result, you should always consult a tax adviser about the application of tax rules found in the Internal Revenue Code (“Code”), Treasury Regulations and applicable IRS guidance to your individual situation.

Nonqualified Annuities

This part of the discussion describes some of the Federal income tax rules applicable to nonqualified annuities. A nonqualified annuity is a contract not issued in connection with a qualified retirement plan, such as an IRA or a section 403(b) plan, receiving special tax treatment under the Code. We may not offer nonqualified annuities for all of our annuity products.

Tax Deferral On Earnings

Under the Code, you are generally not subject to tax on any increase in your Contract Value until you receive a contract distribution. However, for this general rule to apply, certain requirements must be satisfied:

• An individual must own the contract (or the Code must treat the contract as owned by an individual).

• The investments of the VAA must be “adequately diversified” in accordance with Treasury regulations.

• Your right to choose particular investments for a contract must be limited.

• The Annuity Commencement Date must not occur near the end of the Annuitant’s life expectancy.

Contracts Not Owned By An Individual

If a contract is owned by an entity (rather than an individual) the Code generally does not treat it as an annuity contract for Federal income tax purposes. This means that the entity owning the contract pays tax currently on the excess of the Contract Value over the Purchase Payments for the contract. Examples of contracts where the owner pays current tax on the contract’s earnings, Bonus Credits and Persistency Credits, if applicable, are contracts issued to a corporation or a trust. Some exceptions to the rule are:

• Contracts in which the named owner is a trust or other entity that holds the contract as an agent for an individual; however, this exception does not apply in the case of any employer that owns a contract to provide deferred compensation for its employees;

• Immediate annuity contracts, purchased with a single premium, when the annuity starting date is no later than a year from purchase and substantially equal periodic payments are made, not less frequently than annually, during the Annuity Payout period;

• Contracts acquired by an estate of a decedent;

• Certain qualified contracts;

• Contracts purchased by employers upon the termination of certain qualified plans; and

• Certain contracts used in connection with structured settlement agreements.

Investments In The VAA Must Be Diversified

For a contract to be treated as an annuity for Federal income tax purposes, the investments of the VAA must be “adequately diversified.” Treasury regulations define standards for determining whether the investments of the VAA are adequately diversified. If the VAA fails to comply with these diversification standards, you could be required to pay tax currently on the excess of the Contract Value over the contract Purchase Payments. Although we do not control the investments of the underlying investment options, we expect that the underlying investment options will comply with the Treasury regulations so that the VAA will be considered “adequately diversified.”

Restrictions

The Code limits your right to choose particular investments for the contract. Because the IRS has issued little guidance specifying those limits, the limits are uncertain and your right to allocate Contract Values among the Subaccounts may exceed those limits. If so, you would be treated as the owner of the assets of the VAA and thus subject to current taxation on the income, Bonus Credits, Persistency Credits and gains, if applicable, from those assets. We do not know what limits may be set by the IRS in any guidance that it may issue and whether any such limits will apply to existing contracts. We reserve the right to modify the contract without your consent in an attempt to prevent you from being considered as the owner of the assets of the VAA for purposes of the Code.

Loss Of Interest Deduction

After June 8, 1997, if a contract is issued to a taxpayer that is not an individual, or if a contract is held for the benefit of an entity, the entity may lose a portion of its deduction for otherwise deductible interest expenses. However, this rule does not apply to a contract

139

owned by an entity engaged in a trade or business that covers the life of one individual who is either (i) a 20% Owner of the entity, or (ii) an officer, director, or employee of the trade or business, at the time first covered by the contract. This rule also does not apply to a contract owned by an entity engaged in a trade or business that covers the joint lives of the 20% Owner or the entity and the Owner’s spouse at the time first covered by the contract.

Age At Which Annuity Payouts Begin

The Code does not expressly identify a particular age by which Annuity Payouts must begin. However, those rules do require that an annuity contract provide for amortization, through Annuity Payouts, of the contract’s Purchase Payments,, Bonus Credits, Persistency Credits and earnings. As long as annuity payments begin or are scheduled to begin on a date on which the Annuitant’s remaining life expectancy is enough to allow for a sufficient Annuity Payout period, the contract should be treated as an annuity. If the annuity contract is not treated as an annuity, you would be currently taxed on the excess of the Contract Value over the Purchase Payments of the contract.

Tax Treatment Of Payments

We make no guarantees regarding the tax treatment of any contract or of any transaction involving a contract. However, the rest of this discussion assumes that your contract will be treated as an annuity under the Code and that any increase in your Contract Value will not be taxed until there is a distribution from your contract.

Taxation Of Withdrawals And Surrenders

You will pay tax on withdrawals to the extent your Contract Value exceeds your Purchase Payments in the contract. This income (and all other income from your contract) is considered ordinary income (and does not receive capital gains treatment and is not qualified dividend income). A higher rate of tax is paid on ordinary income than on capital gains. You will pay tax on a surrender to the extent the amount you receive exceeds your Purchase Payments. In certain circumstances, your Purchase Payments are reduced by amounts received from your contract that were not included in income. Surrender and reinstatement of your contract will generally be taxed as a withdrawal. If your contract has a Living Benefit Rider, and if the guaranteed amount under that rider immediately before a withdrawal exceeds your Contract Value, the Code may require that you include those additional amounts in your income. Please consult your tax adviser.

Taxation Of Annuity Payouts, Including Regular Income Payments

The Code imposes tax on a portion of each Annuity Payout (at ordinary income tax rates) and treats a portion as a nontaxable return of your Purchase Payments in the contract. We will notify you annually of the taxable amount of your Annuity Payout. Once you have recovered the total amount of the Purchase Payment in the contract, you will pay tax on the full amount of your Annuity Payouts. If Annuity Payouts end because of the Annuitant’s death and before the total amount in the contract has been distributed, the amount not received will generally be deductible. If withdrawals, other than Regular Income Payments, are taken from i4LIFE^®Advantage during the Access Period, they are taxed subject to an exclusion ratio that is determined based on the amount of the payment.

Taxation Of Deductions For Lincoln Long-Term Care^SM Advantage Rider Charges

The Lincoln Long-Term Care^SM Advantage rider (“LTC Rider”) is a Qualified Long-Term Care Insurance Contract under section 7702B(b) of the Code. As previously described in this prospectus, the LTC Rider charge is deducted from the Contract Value on a quarterly basis. For tax years beginning after December 31, 2009, the deductions from the Contract Value to pay LTC Rider charges will not be reported as taxable distributions from the variable annuity contract and such deductions will reduce your basis in the contract. The deductions from the Contract Value will reduce the Contract Value, but not below zero.

Taxation Of Amounts Paid As Long-Term Care Benefits

If your contract includes the LTC Rider (discussed in greater detail in the LTC Rider section), distributions from your contract that are made under the terms of the LTC Rider will not be treated as taxable income to you as long as such benefits do not exceed the greater of (i) the expenses that you actually incur for covered services, or (ii) a maximum per diem, or daily, dollar amount determined by the IRS. All payments that you receive under all Qualified Long-Term Care Insurance Contracts, as well as any payments under an accelerated benefit rider made to you if you are chronically ill, are included in determining whether the benefit limits have been exceeded and reduce your basis in the contract. These payments may also reduce the basis in your annuity contract.

Taxation Of Death Benefits

We may distribute amounts from your contract because of the death of a Contractowner or an Annuitant. The tax treatment of these amounts depends on whether the Contractowner or the Annuitant dies before or after the Annuity Commencement Date.

Death prior to the Annuity Commencement Date:

• If the Beneficiary receives Death Benefits under an Annuity Payout option, they are taxed in the same manner as Annuity Payouts.

• If the Beneficiary does not receive Death Benefits under an Annuity Payout option, they are taxed in the same manner as a withdrawal.

140

Death after the Annuity Commencement Date:

• If Death Benefits are received in accordance with the existing Annuity Payout option following the death of a Contractowner who is not the Annuitant, they are excludible from income in the same manner as the Annuity Payout prior to the death of the Contractowner.

• If Death Benefits are received in accordance with the existing Annuity Payout option following the death of the Annuitant (whether or not the Annuitant is also the Contractowner), the Death Benefits are excludible from income if they do not exceed the Purchase Payments not yet distributed from the contract. All Annuity Payouts in excess of the Purchase Payments not previously received are includible in income.

• If Death Benefits are received in a lump sum, the Code imposes tax on the amount of Death Benefits which exceeds the amount of Purchase Payments not previously received.

Penalty Taxes Payable On Withdrawals, Surrenders, Or Annuity Payouts

The Code may impose a 10% penalty tax on any distribution from your contract which you must include in your gross income. The 10% penalty tax does not apply if one of several exceptions exists. These exceptions include withdrawals, surrenders, or Annuity Payouts that:

• you receive on or after you reach 59½,

• you receive because you became disabled (as defined in the Code),

• you receive from an immediate annuity,

• a Beneficiary receives on or after your death, or

• you receive as a series of substantially equal periodic payments based on your life or life expectancy (non-natural owners holding as agent for an individual do not qualify).

Unearned Income Medicare Contribution

Congress enacted the “Unearned Income Medicare Contribution” as a part of the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010. This new tax, which affects individuals whose modified adjusted gross income exceeds certain thresholds, is a 3.8% tax on the lesser of (i) the individual's “unearned income”, or (ii) the dollar amount by which the individual's modified adjusted gross income exceeds the applicable threshold. Unearned income includes the taxable portion of distributions that you take from your annuity contract. The tax is effective for tax years after December 31, 2012. If you take a distribution from your contract that may be subject to the tax, we will include a Distribution Code “D” in Box 7 of the Form 1099-R issued to report the distribution. Please consult your tax advisor to determine whether your annuity distributions are subject to this tax.

Special Rules If You Own More Than One Annuity Contract

In certain circumstances, you must combine some or all of the nonqualified annuity contracts you own in order to determine the amount of an Annuity Payout, a surrender, or a withdrawal that you must include in income. For example, if you purchase two or more deferred annuity contracts from the same life insurance company (or its affiliates) during any calendar year, the Code treats all such contracts as one contract. Treating two or more contracts as one contract could affect the amount of a surrender, a withdrawal or an Annuity Payout that you must include in income and the amount that might be subject to the penalty tax described previously.

Loans and Assignments

Except for certain qualified contracts, the Code treats any amount received as a loan under your contract, and any assignment or pledge (or agreement to assign or pledge) of any portion of your Contract Value, as a withdrawal of such amount or portion.

Gifting A Contract

If you transfer ownership of your contract to a person other than to your spouse (or to your former spouse incident to divorce), and receive a payment less than your contract’s value, you will pay tax on your Contract Value to the extent it exceeds your Purchase Payments not previously received. The new owner’s Purchase Payments in the contract would then be increased to reflect the amount included in income.

Charges for Additional Benefits

Your contract automatically includes a basic Death Benefit and may include other optional riders. Certain enhancements to the basic Death Benefit may also be available to you. The cost of the basic Death Benefit and any additional benefit are deducted from your contract. It is possible that the tax law may treat all or a portion of the Death Benefit and other optional rider charges, if any, as a contract withdrawal.

Special Considerations for Same-Sex Spouses

The U.S. Supreme Court recently held same-sex spouses who have been married under state law will now be treated as spouses for purposes of federal law. You are strongly encouraged to consult a tax advisor before electing spousal rights under the contract.

141

Qualified Retirement Plans

We have designed the contracts for use in connection with certain types of retirement plans that receive favorable treatment under the Code. Contracts issued to or in connection with a qualified retirement plan are called “qualified contracts.” We issue contracts for use with various types of qualified retirement plans. The Federal income tax rules applicable to those plans are complex and varied. As a result, this prospectus does not attempt to provide more than general information about the use of the contract with the various types of qualified retirement plans. Persons planning to use the contract in connection with a qualified retirement plan should obtain advice from a competent tax adviser.

Types of Qualified Contracts and Terms of Contracts

Qualified retirement plans may include the following:

• Individual Retirement Accounts and Annuities (“Traditional IRAs”)

• Roth IRAs

• Traditional IRA that is part of a Simplified Employee Pension Plan (“SEP”)

• SIMPLE 401(k) plans (Savings Incentive Matched Plan for Employees)

• 401(a) / (k) plans (qualified corporate employee pension and profit-sharing plans)

• 403(a) plans (qualified annuity plans)

• 403(b) plans (public school system and tax-exempt organization annuity plans)

• H.R. 10 or Keogh Plans (self-employed individual plans)

• 457(b) plans (deferred compensation plans for state and local governments and tax-exempt organizations)

Our individual variable annuity products are not available for use with any of the foregoing qualified retirement plan accounts, with the exception of Traditional IRA, SEP IRA, and Roth IRA arrangements. Our individual variable annuity products are no longer available for purchase under a 403(b) plan, and we do not accept additional premiums or transfers to existing 403(b) contracts. We require confirmation from your 403(b) plan sponsor that surrenders, loans or transfers you request comply with applicable tax requirements and decline requests that are not in compliance. We will defer processing payments you request until all information required under the Code has been received. By requesting a surrender, loan or transfer, you consent to the sharing of confidential information about you, your contract, and transactions under the contract and any other 403(b) contracts or accounts you have under the 403(b) plan among us, your employer or plan sponsor, any plan administrator or record keeper, and other providers.

We will amend contracts to be used with a qualified retirement plan as generally necessary to conform to the Code’s requirements for the type of plan. However, the rights of a person to any qualified retirement plan benefits may be subject to the plan’s terms and conditions, regardless of the contract’s terms and conditions. In addition, we are not bound by the terms and conditions of qualified retirement plans to the extent such terms and conditions contradict the contract, unless we consent.

Tax Treatment of Qualified Contracts

The Federal income tax rules applicable to qualified retirement plans and qualified contracts vary with the type of plan and contract. For example:

• Federal tax rules limit the amount of Purchase Payments that can be made, and the tax deduction or exclusion that may be allowed for the Purchase Payments. These limits vary depending on the type of qualified retirement plan and the participant’s specific circumstances (e.g., the participant’s compensation).

• Minimum annual distributions are required under some qualified retirement plans once you reach age 70½ or retire, if later as described below.

• Loans are allowed under certain types of qualified retirement plans, but Federal income tax rules prohibit loans under other types of qualified retirement plans. For example, Federal income tax rules permit loans under some section 403(b) plans, but prohibit loans under Traditional and Roth IRAs. If allowed, loans are subject to a variety of limitations, including restrictions as to the loan amount, the loan’s duration, the rate of interest, and the manner of repayment. Your contract or plan may not permit loans.

Please note that qualified retirement plans such as 403(b) plans, 401(k) plans and IRAs generally defer taxation of contributions and earnings until distribution. As such, an annuity does not provide any additional tax deferral benefit beyond the qualified retirement plan itself.

Tax Treatment of Payments

The Federal income tax rules generally include distributions from a qualified contract in the participant’s income as ordinary income. These taxable distributions will include Purchase Payments that were deductible or excludible from income. Thus, under many qualified contracts, the total amount received is included in income since a deduction or exclusion from income was taken for Purchase Payments. There are exceptions. For example, you do not include amounts received from a Roth IRA in income if certain conditions are satisfied.

142

Required Minimum Distributions

Under most qualified plans, you must begin receiving payments from the contract in certain minimum amounts by April 1 of the year following the year you attain age 70½ or retire, if later. You are required to take distributions from your traditional IRAs by April 1 of the year following the year you reach age 70½. If you own a Roth IRA, you are not required to receive minimum distributions from your Roth IRA during your life.

Failure to comply with the minimum distribution rules applicable to certain qualified plans, such as Traditional IRAs, will result in the imposition of an excise tax. This excise tax equals 50% of the amount by which a minimum required distribution exceeds the actual distribution from the qualified plan.

Treasury regulations applicable to required minimum distributions include a rule that may impact the distribution method you have chosen and the amount of your distributions. Under these regulations, the presence of an enhanced Death Benefit, or other benefit which could provide additional value to your contract, may require you to take additional distributions. An enhanced Death Benefit is any Death Benefit that has the potential to pay more than the Contract Value or a return of Purchase Payments. Annuity contracts inside Custodial or Trusteed IRAs will also be subject to these regulations. Please contact your tax adviser regarding any tax ramifications.

Federal Penalty Tax on Early Distributions from Qualified Retirement Plans

The Code may impose a 10% penalty tax on an early distribution from a qualified contract that must be included in income. The Code does not impose the penalty tax if one of several exceptions applies. The exceptions vary depending on the type of qualified contract you purchase. For example, in the case of an IRA, the 10% penalty tax will not apply to any of the following withdrawals, surrenders, or Annuity Payouts:

• Distribution received on or after the Annuitant reaches 59½

• Distribution received on or after the Annuitant’s death or because of the Annuitant’s disability (as defined in the Code)

• Distribution received as a series of substantially equal periodic payments based on the Annuitant’s life (or life expectancy), or

• Distribution received as reimbursement for certain amounts paid for medical care.

These exceptions, as well as certain others not described here, generally apply to taxable distributions from other qualified retirement plans. However, the specific requirements of the exception may vary.

Unearned Income Medicare Contribution

Congress enacted the “Unearned Income Medicare Contribution” as a part of the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010. This new tax, which affects individuals whose modified adjusted gross income exceeds certain thresholds, is a 3.8% tax on the lesser of (i) the individual’s “unearned income”, or (ii) the dollar amount by which the individual’s modified adjusted gross income exceeds the applicable threshold. Distributions that you take from your contract are not included in the calculation of unearned income because your contract a is qualified plan contract. However, the amount of any such distribution is included in determining whether you exceed the modified adjusted gross income threshold. The tax is effective for tax years after December 31, 2012. Please consult your tax advisor to determine whether your annuity distributions are subject to this tax.

Transfers and Direct Rollovers

As a result of Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 (EGTRRA), you may be able to move funds between different types of qualified plans, such as 403(b) and 457(b) governmental plans, by means of a rollover or transfer. You may be able to rollover or transfer amounts between qualified plans and traditional IRAs. These rules do not apply to Roth IRAs and 457(b) non-governmental tax-exempt plans. The Pension Protection Act of 2006 (PPA) permits direct conversions from certain qualified, 403(b) or 457(b) plans to Roth IRAs (effective for distributions after 2007). There are special rules that apply to rollovers, direct rollovers and transfers (including rollovers or transfers of after-tax amounts). If the applicable rules are not followed, you may incur adverse Federal income tax consequences, including paying taxes which you might not otherwise have had to pay. Before we send a rollover distribution, we will provide a notice explaining tax withholding requirements (see Federal Income Tax Withholding). We are not required to send you such notice for your IRA. You should always consult your tax adviser before you move or attempt to move any funds.

The IRS issued Announcement 2014-32 confirming its intent to apply the one-rollover-per-year limitation of 408(d)(3)(B) on an aggregate basis to all IRAs that an individual owns. This means that an individual cannot make a tax-free IRA-to-IRA rollover if he or she has made such a rollover involving any of the individual’s IRAs in the current tax year. If an intended rollover does not qualify for tax-free rollover treatment, contributions to your IRA may constitute excess contributions that may exceed contribution limits. This one-rollover-per-year limitation does not apply to direct trustee-to-trustee transfers.

Death Benefit and IRAs

Pursuant to IRS regulations, IRAs may not invest in life insurance contracts. We do not believe that these regulations prohibit the Death Benefit from being provided under the contract when we issue the contract as a Traditional or Roth IRA. However, the law is

143

unclear and it is possible that the presence of the Death Benefit under a contract issued as a Traditional or Roth IRA could result in increased taxes to you. Certain Death Benefit options may not be available for all of our products.

Federal Income Tax Withholding

We will withhold and remit to the IRS a part of the taxable portion of each distribution made under a contract unless you notify us prior to the distribution that tax is not to be withheld. In certain circumstances, Federal income tax rules may require us to withhold tax. At the time a withdrawal, surrender, or Annuity Payout is requested, we will give you an explanation of the withholding requirements.

Certain payments from your contract may be considered eligible rollover distributions (even if such payments are not being rolled over). Such distributions may be subject to special tax withholding requirements. The Federal income tax withholding rules require that we withhold 20% of the eligible rollover distribution from the payment amount, unless you elect to have the amount directly transferred to certain qualified plans or contracts. The IRS requires that tax be withheld, even if you have requested otherwise. Such tax withholding requirements are generally applicable to 401(a), 403(a) or (b), HR 10, and 457(b) governmental plans and contracts used in connection with these types of plans.

Our Tax Status

Under the Code, we are not required to pay tax on investment income and realized capital gains of the VAA. We do not expect that we will incur any Federal income tax liability on the income and gains earned by the VAA. However, the Company does expect, to the extent permitted under the Code, to claim the benefit of the foreign tax credit as the owner of the assets of the VAA. Therefore, we do not impose a charge for Federal income taxes. If there are any changes in the Code that require us to pay tax on some or all of the income and gains earned by the VAA, we may impose a charge against the VAA to pay the taxes.

Changes in the Law

The above discussion is based on the Code, IRS regulations, and interpretations existing on the date of this prospectus. However, Congress, the IRS, and the courts may modify these authorities, sometimes retroactively.

Additional Information

Voting Rights

As required by law, we will vote the fund shares held in the VAA at meetings of the shareholders of the funds. The voting will be done according to the instructions of Contractowners who have interests in any Subaccounts which invest in classes of the funds. If the 1940 Act or any regulation under it should be amended or if present interpretations should change, and if as a result we determine that we are permitted to vote the fund shares in our own right, we may elect to do so.

The number of votes which you have the right to cast will be determined by applying your percentage interest in a Subaccount to the total number of votes attributable to the Subaccount. In determining the number of votes, fractional shares will be recognized.

Each underlying fund is subject to the laws of the state in which it is organized concerning, among other things, the matters which are subject to a shareholder vote, the number of shares which must be present in person or by proxy at a meeting of shareholders (a “quorum”), and the percentage of such shares present in person or by proxy which must vote in favor of matters presented. Because shares of the underlying fund held in the VAA are owned by us, and because under the 1940 Act we will vote all such shares in the same proportion as the voting instruction which we receive, it is important that each Contractowner provide their voting instructions to us. Even though Contractowners may choose not to provide voting instruction, the shares of a fund to which such Contractowners would have been entitled to provide voting instruction will, subject to fair representation requirements, be voted by us in the same proportion as the voting instruction which we actually receive. As a result, the instruction of a small number of Contractowners could determine the outcome of matters subject to shareholder vote. All shares voted by us will be counted when the underlying fund determines whether any requirement for a minimum number of shares be present at such a meeting to satisfy a quorum requirement has been met. Voting instructions to abstain on any item to be voted on will be applied proportionately to reduce the number of votes eligible to be cast.

Whenever a shareholders meeting is called, we will provide or make available to each person having a voting interest in a Subaccount proxy voting material, reports and other materials relating to the funds. Since the funds engage in shared funding, other persons or entities besides Lincoln Life may vote fund shares. See Investments of the Variable Annuity Account – Fund Shares.

Return Privilege

Within the free-look period after you receive the contract, you may cancel it for any reason by delivering or mailing it postage prepaid, to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company at PO Box 2348, 1300 South Clinton Street, Fort Wayne, IN 46801-2348. A contract canceled under this provision will be void. Except as explained in the following paragraph, we will return the Contract Value as of the

144

Valuation Date on which we receive the cancellation request, plus any premium taxes plus for Design 3 contracts only, mortality and expense risk charges and administrative charges proportionately attributable to any applicable Bonus Credits, less any applicable Bonus Credits paid into the contract by us. In addition, for Design 3 contracts only, if the Contract Value on the date of cancellation is less than the sum of Purchase Payments minus withdrawals, we will also return both the investment loss and fund management fees, each in an amount that is proportionately attributable to any applicable Bonus Credits. No surrender charges or Interest Adjustment will apply. A purchaser who participates in the VAA is subject to the risk of a market loss on the Contract Value, excluding any applicable Bonus Credits during the free-look period.

For contracts written in those states whose laws require that we assume this market risk during the free-look period, a contract may be canceled, subject to the conditions explained before, except that we will return the greater of the Purchase Payment(s) or the Contract Value as of the Valuation Date we receive, the cancellation request, plus any premium taxes that had been deducted. IRA purchasers will also receive the greater of Purchase Payments or Contract Value as of the Valuation Date on which we receive the cancellation request.

State Regulation

As a life insurance company organized and operated under Indiana law, we are subject to provisions governing life insurers and to regulation by the Indiana Commissioner of Insurance. Our books and accounts are subject to review and examination by the Indiana Department of Insurance at all times. A full examination of our operations is conducted by that Department at least every five years.

Records and Reports

As presently required by the 1940 Act and applicable regulations, we are responsible for maintaining all records and accounts relating to the VAA. We have entered into an agreement with The Bank of New York Mellon, One Mellon Bank Center, 500 Grant Street, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, 15258, to provide accounting services to the VAA. We will mail to you, at your last known address of record at the Home Office, at least semi-annually after the first Contract Year, reports containing information required by that Act or any other applicable law or regulation.

A written confirmation of each transaction will be mailed to you on the next Valuation Date, except for the following transactions, which are mailed quarterly:

• deduction of any account fee or rider charges;

• crediting of persistency credits, if applicable;

• any rebalancing event under Asset Allocation Models, Investment Requirements or the portfolio rebalancing service; and

• any transfer or withdrawal under any applicable additional service: dollar cost averaging, AWS, or the cross-reinvestment service.

Cyber Security

Our business is highly dependent upon the effective operation of our computer systems and those of our business partners, so our business is potentially susceptible to operational and information security risks resulting from a cyber-attack. These risks include, among other things, the theft, misuse, corruption and destruction of data maintained online or digitally, denial of service attacks on websites and other operational disruption and unauthorized release of confidential customer information. Cyber-attacks affecting us, any third-party administrator, the underlying funds, intermediaries and other affiliated or third-party service providers may adversely affect us and your Contract Value. For instance, cyber-attacks may interfere with our processing of contract transactions, including the processing of orders from our website or with the underlying funds, impact our ability to calculate Accumulation Unit values, cause the release and possible destruction of confidential customer or business information, subject us and/or our service providers and intermediaries to regulatory fines and financial losses and/or cause reputational damage. Cyber security risks may also impact the issuers of securities in which the underlying funds invest, which may cause the funds underlying your contract to lose value. There can be no assurance that we or the underlying funds or our service providers will avoid losses affecting your contract due to cyber-attacks or information security breaches in the future.

Special Arrangements

At times, we may offer variations of the contracts described in this prospectus to existing owners as part of an exchange program. Contracts purchased through this exchange offer may impose different fees and expenses and provide certain additional benefits from those described in this prospectus.

Legal Proceedings

In the ordinary course of its business and otherwise, the Company and its subsidiaries or its separate accounts and Principal Underwriter may become or are involved in various pending or threatened legal proceedings, including purported class actions, arising from the conduct of its business. In some instances, the proceedings include claims for unspecified or substantial punitive damages and similar types of relief in addition to amounts for alleged contractual liability or requests for equitable relief.

After consultation with legal counsel and a review of available facts, it is management’s opinion that the proceedings, after consideration of any reserves and rights to indemnification, ultimately will be resolved without materially affecting the consolidated financial position of the Company and its subsidiaries, or the financial position of its separate accounts or Principal Underwriter. However, given the large and indeterminate amounts sought in certain of these proceedings and the inherent difficulty in predicting the outcome of such legal proceedings, it is possible that an adverse outcome in certain matters could be material to the Company's operating results for any particular reporting period. Please refer to the Statement of Additional Information for possible additional information regarding legal proceedings.

Services

Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Ernst & Young LLP, independent registered public accounting firm, One Commerce Square, 2005 Market Street, Suite 700, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 19103, has audited a) our financial statements of the Lincoln Life Variable Annuity Account N as of December 31, 2014 and for the year then ended and the statement of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two year period ended December 31, 2014; and b) our consolidated financial statements of The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2014, which are included in this SAI and Registration Statement. The aforementioned financial statements are included herein in reliance on Ernst & Young LLP's reports, given on their authority as experts in accounting and auditing.

Keeper of Records

All accounts, books, records and other documents which are required to be maintained for the VAA are maintained by us or by third parties responsible to Lincoln Life. We have entered into an agreement with The Bank of New York Mellon, One Mellon Bank Center, 500 Grant Street, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, 15258, to provide accounting services to the VAA. No separate charge against the assets of the VAA is made by us for this service.

Principal Underwriter

Lincoln Financial Distributors, Inc. (“LFD”), an affiliate of Lincoln Life, serves as principal underwriter (the “Principal Underwriter”) for the contracts, as described in the prospectus. The Principal Underwriter offers the contracts to the public on a continuous basis and anticipates continuing to offer the contracts, but reserves the right to discontinue the offering. The Principal Underwriter offers the contracts through sales representatives, who are associated with Lincoln Financial Advisors Corporation and/or Lincoln Financial Securities Corporation (collectively, “LFN”), our affiliates. The Principal Underwriter also may enter into selling agreements with other broker-dealers (“Selling Firms”) for the sale of the contracts. Sales representatives of Selling Firms are appointed as our insurance agents. LFD, acting as Principal Underwriter, paid $437,205,763, $619,961,766 and $606,129,776
to LFN and Selling Firms in 2012, 2013 and 2014 respectively, as sales compensation with respect to all the contracts offered under the VAA. The Principal Underwriter retained no underwriting commissions for the sale of the contracts.

Purchase of Securities Being Offered

The variable annuity contracts are offered to the public through licensed insurance agents who specialize in selling our products; through independent insurance brokers; and through certain securities brokers/dealers selected by us whose personnel are legally authorized to sell annuity products. There are no special purchase plans for any class of prospective buyers. However, under certain limited circumstances described in the prospectus under the section Charges and Other Deductions, any applicable account fee and/or surrender charge may be reduced or waived.

Both before and after the Annuity Commencement Date, there are exchange privileges between Subaccounts, and from the VAA to the general account (if available) subject to restrictions set out in the prospectus. See The Contracts, in the prospectus. No exchanges are permitted between the VAA and other separate accounts.

The offering of the contracts is continuous.

Interest Adjustment Example

Note: This example is intended to show how the Interest Adjustment calculation impacts the surrender value of a representative contract. The surrender charges, annual account fee, adjustment factor, and guaranteed minimum interest rate values shown here are generally different from those that apply to specific contracts, particularly those contracts that deduct an initial sales load or pay a bonus on deposits. Calculations of the Interest Adjustment in your contract, if applicable, will be based on the factors applicable to your contract. The Interest Adjustment may be referred to as a Market Value Adjustment in your contract.

Annuity Payouts

Variable Annuity Payouts

Variable Annuity Payouts will be determined on the basis of:

• the dollar value of the contract on the Annuity Commencement Date less any applicable premium tax (and less any surrender charges on purchase payments in the contract for less than 12 months if bonus credits applied to the purchase payments);

• the annuity tables contained in the contract;

• the type of annuity option selected; and

• the investment results of the fund(s) selected.

In order to determine the amount of variable Annuity Payouts, we make the following calculation:

• first, we determine the dollar amount of the first payout;

• second, we credit the contract with a fixed number of Annuity Units based on the amount of the first payout; and

• third, we calculate the value of the Annuity Units each period thereafter.

These steps are explained below.

The dollar amount of the first periodic variable Annuity Payout is determined by applying the total value of the Accumulation Units credited under the contract valued as of the Annuity Commencement Date (less any premium taxes) to the annuity tables contained in the contract. The first variable Annuity Payout will be paid 14 days after the Annuity Commencement Date. This day of the month will become the day on which all future Annuity Payouts will be paid. Amounts shown in the tables are based on the 1983 Table “a” Individual Annuity Mortality Tables, modified, with an assumed investment return at the rate of 3%, 4%, 5%, or 6% per annum, depending on the terms of your contract. The first Annuity Payout is determined by multiplying the benefit per $1,000 of value shown in the contract tables by the number of thousands of dollars of value accumulated under the contract. These annuity tables vary according to the form of annuity selected and the age of the Annuitant at the Annuity Commencement Date. The assumed interest rate is the measuring point for subsequent Annuity Payouts. If the actual net investment rate (annualized) exceeds the assumed interest rate, the payout will increase at a rate equal to the amount of such excess.

Conversely, if the actual rate is less than the assumed interest rate, Annuity Payouts will decrease. If the assumed rate of interest were to be increased, Annuity Payouts would start at a higher level but would decrease more rapidly or increase more slowly.

We may use sex-distinct annuity tables in contracts that are not associated with employer sponsored plans and where not prohibited by law.

At an Annuity Commencement Date, the contract is credited with Annuity Units for each Subaccount on which variable Annuity Payouts are based. The number of Annuity Units to be credited is determined by dividing the amount of the first periodic payout by the

B-4

value of an Annuity Unit in each Subaccount selected. Although the number of Annuity Units is fixed by this process, the value of such units will vary with the value of the underlying fund. The amount of the second and subsequent periodic payouts is determined by multiplying the Contractowner’s fixed number of Annuity Units in each Subaccount by the appropriate Annuity Unit value for the Valuation Date ending 14 days prior to the date that payout is due.

The value of each Subaccount’s Annuity Unit will be set initially at $1.00. The Annuity Unit value for each Subaccount at the end of any Valuation Date is determined by multiplying the Subaccount Annuity Unit value for the immediately preceding Valuation Date by the product of:

• The net investment factor of the Subaccount for the Valuation Period for which the Annuity Unit value is being determined, and

• A factor to neutralize the assumed investment return in the annuity table.

The value of the Annuity Units is determined as of a Valuation Date 14 days prior to the payment date in order to permit calculation of amounts of Annuity Payouts and mailing of checks in advance of their due dates. Such checks will normally be issued and mailed at least three days before the due date.

Examples of Regular Income Payment Calculations

These examples will illustrate the impact of the length of the access period and the impact of a withdrawal on the Regular Income Payments. These examples assume that the investment return is the same as the assumed investment return (AIR) to make the Regular Income Payment calculations simpler to understand. The Regular Income Payments will vary based on the investment performance of the underlying funds.

Annuitant	Male, Age 65
Secondary Life	Female, Age 63
Purchase Payment	$200,000.00
Regular Income Payment Frequency	Annual
AIR	4.0%
Hypothetical Investment Return	4.0%
	20-year Access Period	30-Year Access Period
Regular Income Payment	$10,600.94	$10,004.94

A 10% withdrawal from the Account Value will reduce the Regular Income Payments by 10% to $9,540.85 with the 20-year access period and $9,004.45 with the 30-year access period.

At the end of the 20-year access period, the remaining Account Value of $109,921.94 (assuming no withdrawals) will be used to continue the $10,600.94 Regular Income Payment during the lifetime income period for the lives of the Annuitant and Secondary Life. At the end of the 30-year access period, the remaining Account Value of $65,108.01 (assuming no withdrawals) will be used to continue the $10,004.94 Regular Income Payment during the lifetime income period for the lives of the Annuitant and Secondary Life. (Note: the Regular Income Payments during the lifetime income period will vary with the investment performance of the underlying funds).

Determination of Accumulation and Annuity Unit Value

A description of the days on which Accumulation and Annuity Units will be valued is given in the prospectus. The New York Stock Exchange's (NYSE) most recent announcement (which is subject to change) states that it will be closed on weekends and on these holidays: New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Day, President's Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day. If any of these holidays occurs on a weekend day, the Exchange may also be closed on the business day occurring just before or just after the holiday. It may also be closed on other days.

Since the portfolios of some of the fund and series will consist of securities primarily listed on foreign exchanges or otherwise traded outside the United States, those securities may be traded (and the net asset value of those fund and series and of the variable account could therefore be significantly affected) on days when the investor has no access to those funds and series.

Capital Markets

In any particular year, our capital may increase or decrease depending on a variety of factors — the amount of our statutory income or losses (which is sensitive to equity market and credit market conditions), the amount of additional capital we must hold to support business growth, changes in reserving requirements, our inability to secure capital market solutions to provide reserve relief, such as

B-5

issuing letters of credit to support captive reinsurance structures, changes in equity market levels, the value of certain fixed-income and equity securities in our investment portfolio and changes in interest rates.

Advertising & Ratings

We may include in certain advertisements, endorsements in the form of a list of organizations, individuals or other parties which recommend Lincoln Life or the policies. Furthermore, we may occasionally include in advertisements comparisons of currently taxable and tax deferred investment programs, based on selected tax brackets, or discussions of alternative investment vehicles and general economic conditions.

Our financial strength is ranked and rated by nationally recognized independent rating agencies. The ratings do not imply approval of the product and do not refer to the performance of the product, or any separate account, including the underlying investment options. Ratings are not recommendations to buy our products. Each of the rating agencies reviews its ratings periodically. Accordingly, all ratings are subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the rating agencies, and therefore, no assurance can be given that these ratings will be maintained. The current outlook for the insurance subsidiaries is stable for Moody’s, A.M. Best, Fitch, and Standard & Poor’s. Our financial strength ratings, which are intended to measure our ability to meet contract holder obligations, are an important factor affecting public confidence in most of our products and, as a result, our competitiveness. A downgrade of our financial strength rating could affect our competitive position in the insurance industry by making it more difficult for us to market our products as potential customers may select companies with higher financial strength ratings and by leading to increased withdrawals by current customers seeking companies with higher financial strength ratings. For more information on ratings, including outlooks, see www.LincolnFinancial.com/investor.

Unclaimed Property

We have entered into a Global Resolution Agreement with a third party auditor representing multiple states and jurisdictions. Under the terms of the Global Resolution Agreement, the third party auditor has compared expanded matching criteria to the Social Security Master Death File (“SSMDF”) to identify deceased insureds and policy or contract holders where a valid claim has not been made. We have also entered into a Regulatory Settlement Agreement with multiple states and jurisdictions. The Regulatory Settlement Agreement applies prospectively and requires us to adopt and implement additional procedures comparing our records to the SSMDF to identify unclaimed death benefits and prescribes procedures for identifying and locating beneficiaries once deaths are identified. Other jurisdictions that are not signatories to the Regulatory Settlement Agreement are conducting examinations and audits of our compliance with unclaimed property laws and considering proposals that would apply prospectively and require life insurance companies to take additional steps to identify unreported deceased policy and contract holders. These prospective changes and any escheatable property identified as a result of the audits and inquiries could result in: (1) additional payments of previously unclaimed death benefits; (2) the payment of abandoned funds to U.S. jurisdictions; and (3) changes in our practices and procedures for the identification of escheatable funds and beneficiaries, which would impact claim payments and reserves, among other consequences.

Additional Services

Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA)—You may systematically transfer, on a monthly basis or in accordance with other terms we make available, amounts from certain Subaccounts, or the fixed side (if available) of the contract into the Subaccounts or in accordance with other terms we make available. You may elect to participate in the DCA program at the time of application or at any time before the Annuity Commencement Date by completing an election form available from us. The minimum amount to be dollar cost averaged is $1,500 ($2,000 for contracts purchased prior to November 15, 2010) over any period between six and 60 months. Once elected, the program will remain in effect until the earlier of:

• the Annuity Commencement Date;

• the value of the amount being DCA'd is depleted; or

• you cancel the program by written request or by telephone if we have your telephone authorization on file.

We reserve the right to restrict access to this program at any time.

A transfer made as part of this program is not considered a transfer for purposes of limiting the number of transfers that may be made, or assessing any charges or Interest Adjustment which may apply to transfers. Upon receipt of an additional Purchase Payment allocated to the DCA fixed account, the existing program duration will be extended to reflect the end date of the new DCA program. However, the existing interest crediting rate will not be extended. The existing interest crediting rate will expire at its originally scheduled expiration date and the value remaining in the DCA account from the original amount as well as any additional Purchase Payments will be credited with interest at the standard DCA rate at the time. We reserve the right to discontinue this program at any time. DCA does not assure a profit or protect against loss.

Automatic Withdrawal Service (AWS)—AWS provides an automatic, periodic withdrawal of Contract Value to you. AWS may take place on either a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis, as selected by the Contractowner. You may elect to participate in AWS at the time of application or at any time before the Annuity Commencement Date by sending a written request to us. The minimum Contract Value required to establish AWS is $10,000. You may cancel or make changes to your AWS program at any time by sending a written request to us. If telephone authorization has been elected, certain changes may be made by telephone. Notwithstanding the requirements of the program, any withdrawal must be permitted under Section 401(a)(9) of the IRC for qualified plans or permitted under Section 72 of the IRC for non-qualified contracts. To the extent that withdrawals under AWS do not qualify for an exemption from the contingent deferred sales charge, we will assess any applicable surrender charges on those withdrawals. See Surrender Charge.

Cross Reinvestment Program/Earnings Sweep Program — Under this option, Account Value in a designated variable Subaccount of the contract that exceeds a certain baseline amount is automatically transferred to another specific variable Subaccount(s) of the contract at specific intervals. You may elect to participate in the cross reinvestment program at the time of application or at any time before the Annuity Commencement Date by sending a written request to us or by telephone if we have your telephone authorization on file. You designate the holding account, the receiving account(s), and the baseline amount. Cross reinvestment will continue until we receive authorization to terminate the program.

The minimum holding Account Value required to establish cross reinvestment is $10,000. A transfer under this program is not considered a transfer for purposes of limiting the number of transfers that may be made. We reserve the right to discontinue this service at any time.

Beginning May 1, 2010, the cross reinvestment service is no longer available unless the Contractowner was enrolled in this service prior to this date. Contractowners who are currently enrolled in this service will not be impacted by this change.

B-7

Portfolio Rebalancing — Portfolio rebalancing is an option, which, if elected by the Contractowner, restores to a pre-determined level the percentage of the Contract Value, allocated to each variable Subaccount. This pre-determined level will be the allocation initially selected when the contract was purchased, unless subsequently changed. The portfolio rebalancing allocation may be changed at any time by submitting a written request to us. If portfolio rebalancing is elected, all Purchase Payments allocated to the variable Subaccounts must be subject to portfolio rebalancing. Portfolio rebalancing may take place on either a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis, as selected by the Contractowner. The Contractowner may terminate the portfolio rebalancing program or re-enroll at any time by sending a written request to us. If telephone authorization has been elected, the Contractowner may make these elections by phone. The portfolio rebalancing program is not available following the Annuity Commencement Date.

SecureLine^® Account –SecureLine^® is an interest bearing draft account established from the proceeds payable on a contract administered by us that helps you manage your surrender or death benefit proceeds. You are the owner of the account, and are the only one authorized to transfer proceeds from the account. You may choose to leave the proceeds in this account, or you may use the checkbook we previously provided and write checks against the account until the funds are depleted. The SecureLine^® account is part of our general account. It is not a bank account and it is not insured by the FDIC or any other government agency. As part of our general account, it is subject to the claims of our creditors. We receive a benefit from all amounts left in the SecureLine^® account.

Interest credited in the SecureLine^®account is taxable as ordinary income in the year such interest is credited, and is not tax deferred. We recommend that you consult your tax advisor to determine the tax consequences associated with the payment of interest on amounts in the SecureLine^®account. The balance in your SecureLine^®account began earning interest the day your account was opened and will continue to earn interest until all funds are withdrawn. Interest is compounded daily and credited to your account on the last day of each month. The interest rate will be updated monthly and we may increase or decrease the rate at our discretion. The interest rate credited to your SecureLine^®account may be more or less than the rate earned on funds held in our general account. The interest rate offered with a SecureLine^®account is not necessarily that credited to the fixed account. There are no monthly fees. You may be charged a fee if you stop a payment or if you present a check for payment without sufficient funds.

Other Information

Due to differences in redemption rates, tax treatment or other considerations, the interests of policyholders under the variable life accounts could conflict with those of Contractowners under the VAA. In those cases, where assets from variable life and variable annuity separate accounts are invested in the same fund(s) (i.e., where mixed funding occurs), the Boards of Directors of the fund involved will monitor for any material conflicts and determine what action, if any, should be taken. If it becomes necessary for any separate account to replace shares of any fund with another investment, that fund may have to liquidate securities on a disadvantageous basis. Refer to the prospectus for each fund for more information about mixed funding.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Stockholder of

The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss), stockholder’s equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2014.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company at December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2014, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

THE LINCOLN NATIONAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  Nature of Operations, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Operations

The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“LNL” or the “Company,” which also may be referred to as “we,” “our” or “us”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lincoln National Corporation (“LNC” or the “Parent Company”), is domiciled in the state of Indiana.  We own 100% of the outstanding common stock of one insurance company subsidiary, Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LLANY”). We also own several non-insurance companies, including Lincoln Financial Distributors and Lincoln Financial Advisors, LNC’s wholesaling and retailing business units, respectively.  LNL’s principal businesses consist of underwriting annuities, deposit-type contracts and life insurance through multiple distribution channels.  LNL is licensed and sells its products throughout the U.S. and several U.S. territories.  See Note 23 for additional information.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with United States of America generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).  Certain GAAP policies, which significantly affect the determination of financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, are summarized below.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of LNL and all other entities in which we have a controlling financial interest and any variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which we are the primary beneficiary.  Entities in which we do not have a controlling financial interest and do not exercise significant management influence over the operating and financing decisions are reported using the equity method.  All material inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. 

Our involvement with VIEs is primarily to invest in assets that allow us to gain exposure to a broadly diversified portfolio of asset classes.  A VIE is an entity that does not have sufficient equity to finance its own activities without additional financial support or where investors lack certain characteristics of a controlling financial interest.  We assess our contractual, ownership or other interests in a VIE to determine if our interest participates in the variability the VIE was designed to absorb and pass onto variable interest holders.  We perform an ongoing qualitative assessment of our variable interests in VIEs to determine whether we have a controlling financial interest and would therefore be considered the primary beneficiary of the VIE.  If we determine we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE, we consolidate the assets and liabilities of the VIE in our consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions affecting the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the reporting period.  Those estimates are inherently subject to change and actual results could differ from those estimates.  Included among the material (or potentially material) reported amounts and disclosures that require extensive use of estimates are:  fair value of certain invested assets and derivatives, other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) and asset valuation allowances, deferred acquisition costs (“DAC”),  value of business acquired (“VOBA”), deferred sales inducements (“DSI”), goodwill, future contract benefits, other contract holder funds including deferred front-end loads (“DFEL”), pension plans, stock-based incentive compensation, income taxes and the potential effects of resolving litigated matters.

Business Combinations

We use the acquisition method of accounting for all business combination transactions, and accordingly, recognize the fair values of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interests in our consolidated financial statements.  The allocation of fair values may be subject to adjustment after the initial allocation for up to a one-year period as more information becomes available relative to the fair values as of the acquisition date.  The consolidated financial statements include the results of operations of any acquired company since the acquisition date.

Fair Value Measurement

Our measurement of fair value is based on assumptions used by market participants in pricing the asset or liability, which may include inherent risk, restrictions on the sale or use of an asset or non-performance risk (“NPR”), which would include our own credit risk.  Our estimate of an exchange price is the price in an orderly transaction between market participants to sell the asset or transfer the liability (“exit price”) in the principal market, or the most advantageous market in the absence of a principal market, for that asset or liability, as opposed to the price that would be paid to acquire the asset or receive a liability (“entry price”).  Pursuant to the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards CodificationTM (“ASC”),

we categorize our financial instruments carried at fair value into a three-level fair value hierarchy, based on the priority of inputs to the respective valuation technique.  The three-level hierarchy for fair value measurement is defined as follows:

· Level 1 – inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices available in active markets for identical investments as of the reporting date, except for large holdings subject to “blockage discounts” that are excluded;

· Level 2 – inputs to the valuation methodology are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date, and fair value can be determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies; and

· Level 3 – inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable inputs in situations where there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability, and we make estimates and assumptions related to the pricing of the asset or liability, including assumptions regarding risk.

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy.  In such cases, the level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.  Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the investment.

When a determination is made to classify an asset or liability within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, the determination is based upon the significance of the unobservable inputs to the overall fair value measurement.  Because certain securities trade in less liquid or illiquid markets with limited or no pricing information, the determination of fair value for these securities is inherently more difficult.  However, Level 3 fair value investments may include, in addition to the unobservable or Level 3 inputs, observable components, which are components that are actively quoted or can be validated to market-based sources.

Available-For-Sale Securities – Fair Valuation Methodologies and Associated Inputs

Securities classified as available-for-sale (“AFS”) consist of fixed maturity and equity securities and are stated at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”), net of associated DAC, VOBA, DSI, future contract benefits, other contract holder funds and deferred income taxes. 

We measure the fair value of our securities classified as AFS based on assumptions used by market participants in pricing the security.  The most appropriate valuation methodology is selected based on the specific characteristics of the fixed maturity or equity security, and we consistently apply the valuation methodology to measure the security’s fair value.  Our fair value measurement is based on a market approach that utilizes prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable securities.  Sources of inputs to the market approach primarily include third-party pricing services, independent broker quotations or pricing matrices.  We do not adjust prices received from third parties; however, we do analyze the third-party pricing services’ valuation methodologies and related inputs and perform additional evaluation to determine the appropriate level within the fair value hierarchy.

The observable and unobservable inputs to our valuation methodologies are based on a set of standard inputs that we generally use to evaluate all of our AFS securities.  Observable inputs include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker-dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers and reference data.  In addition, market indicators, industry and economic events are monitored, and further market data is acquired if certain triggers are met.For certain security types, additional inputs may be used, or some of the inputs described above may not be applicable.  For private placement securities, we use pricing matrices that utilize observable pricing inputs of similar public securities and Treasury yields as inputs to the fair value measurement.  Depending on the type of security or the daily market activity, standard inputs may be prioritized differently or may not be available for all AFS securities on any given day.  For broker-quoted only securities, non-binding quotes from market makers or broker-dealers are obtained from sources recognized as market participants.For securities trading in less liquid or illiquid markets with limited or no pricing information, we use unobservable inputs to measure fair value. 

The following summarizes our fair valuation methodologies and associated inputs, which are particular to the specified security type and are in addition to the defined standard inputs to our valuation methodologies for all of our AFS securities discussed above:

· Corporate bonds and U.S. government bonds – We also use Trade Reporting and Compliance EngineTM reported tables for our corporate bonds and vendor trading platform data for our U.S. government bonds. 

· Mortgage- and asset-backed securities(“ABS”) – We also utilize additional inputs, which include new issues data, monthly payment information and monthly collateral performance, including prepayments, severity, delinquencies, step-down features and over collateralization features for each of our mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”), which include collateralized mortgage obligations and mortgage pass through securities backed by residential mortgages (“RMBS”), commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”), collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”) and collateralized debt obligations (“CDOs”).

· State and municipal bonds – We also use additional inputs that include information from the Municipal Securities Rule Making Board, as well as material event notices, new issue data, issuer financial statements and Municipal Market Data benchmark yields for our state and municipal bonds.

· Hybrid and redeemable preferred and equity securities – We also utilize additional inputs of exchange prices (underlying and common stock of the same issuer) for our hybrid and redeemable preferred and equity securities.

7

In order to validate the pricing information and broker-dealer quotes, we employ, where possible, procedures that include comparisons with similar observable positions, comparisons with subsequent sales and observations of general market movements for those security classes.  We have policies and procedures in place to review the process that is utilized by our third-party pricing service and the output that is provided to us by the pricing service.  On a periodic basis, we test the pricing for a sample of securities to evaluate the inputs and assumptions used by the pricing service, and we perform a comparison of the pricing service output to an alternative pricing source.  We also evaluate prices provided by our primary pricing service to ensure that they are not stale or unreasonable by reviewing the prices for unusual changes from period to period based on certain parameters or for lack of change from one period to the next. 

AFS Securities – Evaluation for Recovery of Amortized Cost

We regularly review our AFS securities for declines in fair value that we determine to be other-than-temporary.  For an equity security, if we do not have the ability and intent to hold the security for a sufficient period of time to allow for a recovery in value, we conclude that an OTTI has occurred and the amortized cost of the equity security is written down to the current fair value, with a corresponding charge to realized gain (loss) on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).  When assessing our ability and intent to hold the equity security to recovery, we consider, among other things, the severity and duration of the decline in fair value of the equity security as well as the cause of the decline, a fundamental analysis of the liquidity, and business prospects and overall financial condition of the issuer.

For our fixed maturity AFS securities (also referred to as “debt securities”), we generally consider the following to determine whether our unrealized losses are other-than-temporarily impaired:

· The estimated range and average period until recovery;

· The estimated range and average holding period to maturity;

· Remaining payment terms of the security;

· Current delinquencies and nonperforming assets of underlying collateral;

· Expected future default rates;

· Collateral value by vintage, geographic region, industry concentration or property type;

· Subordination levels or other credit enhancements as of the balance sheet date as compared to origination; and

· Contractual and regulatory cash obligations.

For a debt security, if we intend to sell a security, or it is more likely than not we will be required to sell a debt security before recovery of its amortized cost basis and the fair value of the debt security is below amortized cost, we conclude that an OTTI has occurred and the amortized cost is written down to current fair value, with a corresponding charge to realized gain (loss) on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).  If we do not intend to sell a debt security, or it is not more likely than not we will be required to sell a debt security before recovery of its amortized cost basis but the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost of the debt security (referred to as the credit loss), we conclude that an OTTI has occurred and the amortized cost is written down to the estimated recovery value with a corresponding charge to realized gain (loss) on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss), as this amount is deemed the credit portion of the OTTI.  The remainder of the decline to fair value is recorded in other comprehensive income (“OCI”) to unrealized OTTI on AFS securities on our Consolidated Statements of Stockholder’s Equity, as this amount is considered a noncredit (i.e., recoverable) impairment.

When assessing our intent to sell a debt security, or if it is more likely than not we will be required to sell a debt security before recovery of its cost basis, we evaluate facts and circumstances such as, but not limited to, decisions to reposition our security portfolio, sales of securities to meet cash flow needs and sales of securities to capitalize on favorable pricing.  In order to determine the amount of the credit loss for a debt security, we calculate the recovery value by performing a discounted cash flow analysis based on the current cash flows and future cash flows we expect to recover.  The discount rate is the effective interest rate implicit in the underlying debt security.  The effective interest rate is the original yield, or the coupon if the debt security was previously impaired.  See the discussion below for additional information on the methodology and significant inputs, by security type, which we use to determine the amount of a credit loss.

Our conclusion that it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell the fixed maturity AFS securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis, the estimated future cash flows are equal to or greater than the amortized cost basis of the debt securities, or we have the ability to hold the equity AFS securities for a period of time sufficient for recovery is based upon our asset-liability management process.  Management considers the following as part of the evaluation:

· The current economic environment and market conditions;

· Our business strategy and current business plans;

· The nature and type of security, including expected maturities and exposure to general credit, liquidity, market and interest rate risk;

· Our analysis of data from financial models and other internal and industry sources to evaluate the current effectiveness of our hedging and overall risk management strategies;

· The current and expected timing of contractual maturities of our assets and liabilities, expectations of prepayments on investments and expectations for surrenders and withdrawals of life insurance policies and annuity contracts;

· The capital risk limits approved by management; and

· Our current financial condition and liquidity demands.

8

To determine the recovery period of a debt security, we consider the facts and circumstances surrounding the underlying issuer including, but not limited to, the following:

· Historical and implied volatility of the security;

· Length of time and extent to which the fair value has been less than amortized cost;

· Adverse conditions specifically related to the security or to specific conditions in an industry or geographic area;

· Failure, if any, of the issuer of the security to make scheduled payments; and

· Recoveries or additional declines in fair value subsequent to the balance sheet date.

In periods subsequent to the recognition of an OTTI, the AFS security is accounted for as if it had been purchased on the measurement date of the OTTI.  Therefore, for the fixed maturity AFS security, the original discount or reduced premium is reflected in net investment income over the contractual term of the investment in a manner that produces a constant effective yield.

To determine recovery value of a corporate bond, CLO or CDO, we perform additional analysis related to the underlying issuer including, but not limited to, the following:

· Fundamentals of the issuer to determine what we would recover if they were to file bankruptcy versus the price at which the market is trading;

· Fundamentals of the industry in which the issuer operates;

· Earnings multiples for the given industry or sector of an industry that the underlying issuer operates within, divided by the outstanding debt to determine an expected recovery value of the security in the case of a liquidation;

· Expected cash flows of the issuer (e.g., whether the issuer has cash flows in excess of what is required to fund its operations);

· Expectations regarding defaults and recovery rates;

· Changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency; and

· Additional market information (e.g., if there has been a replacement of the corporate debt security).

Each quarter we review the cash flows for the MBS to determine whether or not they are sufficient to provide for the recovery of our amortized cost.  We revise our cash flow projections only for those securities that are at most risk for impairment based on current credit enhancement and trends in the underlying collateral performance.  To determine recovery value of a MBS, we perform additional analysis related to the underlying issuer including, but not limited to, the following:

· Discounted cash flow analysis based on the current cash flows and future cash flows we expect to recover;

· Level of creditworthiness of the home equity loans or residential mortgages that back an RMBS or commercial mortgages that back a CMBS;

· Susceptibility to fair value fluctuations for changes in the interest rate environment;

· Susceptibility to reinvestment risks, in cases where market yields are lower than the securities’ book yield earned;

· Susceptibility to reinvestment risks, in cases where market yields are higher than the book yields earned on a security;

· Expectations of sale of such a security where market yields are higher than the book yields earned on a security; and

· Susceptibility to variability of prepayments.

When evaluating MBS and mortgage-related ABS, we consider a number of pool-specific factors as well as market level factors when determining whether or not the impairment on the security is temporary or other-than-temporary.  The most important factor is the performance of the underlying collateral in the security and the trends of that performance in the prior periods.  We use this information about the collateral to forecast the timing and rate of mortgage loan defaults, including making projections for loans that are already delinquent and for those loans that are currently performing but may become delinquent in the future.  Other factors used in this analysis include type of underlying collateral (e.g., prime, Alt-A or subprime), geographic distribution of underlying loans and timing of liquidations by state.  Once default rates and timing assumptions are determined, we then make assumptions regarding the severity of a default if it were to occur.  Factors that impact the severity assumption include expectations for future home price appreciation or depreciation, loan size, first lien versus second lien, existence of loan level private mortgage insurance, type of occupancy and geographic distribution of loans.  Once default and severity assumptions are determined for the security in question, cash flows for the underlying collateral are projected including expected defaults and prepayments.  These cash flows on the collateral are then translated to cash flows on our tranche based on the cash flow waterfall of the entire capital security structure.  If this analysis indicates the entire principal on a particular security will not be returned, the security is reviewed for OTTI by comparing the expected cash flows to amortized cost.  To the extent that the security has already been impaired or was purchased at a discount, such that the amortized cost of the security is less than or equal to the present value of cash flows expected to be collected, no impairment is required. 

Otherwise, if the amortized cost of the security is greater than the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected, and the security was not purchased at a discount greater than the expected principal loss, then impairment is recognized.

We further monitor the cash flows of all of our AFS securities backed by pools on an ongoing basis.  We also perform detailed analysis on all of our subprime, Alt-A, non-agency residential MBS and on a significant percentage of our AFS securities backed by pools of commercial mortgages.  The detailed analysis includes revising projected cash flows by updating the cash flows for actual cash received

9

and applying assumptions with respect to expected defaults, foreclosures and recoveries in the future.  These revised projected cash flows are then compared to the amount of credit enhancement (subordination) in the structure to determine whether the amortized cost of the security is recoverable.  If it is not recoverable, we record an impairment of the security. 

Trading Securities

Trading securities consist of fixed maturity and equity securities in designated portfolios, some of which support modified coinsurance (“Modco”) and coinsurance with funds withheld (“CFW”) reinsurance arrangements.  Investment results for the portfolios that support Modco and CFW reinsurance arrangements, including gains and losses from sales, are passed directly to the reinsurers pursuant to contractual terms of the reinsurance arrangements.  Trading securities are carried at fair value and changes in fair value and changes in the fair value of embedded derivative liabilities associated with the underlying reinsurance arrangements, are recorded in realized gain (loss) on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) as they occur.

Alternative Investments

Alternative investments, which consist primarily of investments in limited partnerships (“LPs”), are included in other investments on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.We account for our investments in LPs using the equity method to determine the carrying value.  Recognition of alternative investment income is delayed due to the availability of the related financial statements, which are generally obtained from the partnerships’ general partners.  As a result, our venture capital, real estate and oil and gas portfolios are generally on a three-month delay and our hedge funds are on a one-month delay.  In addition, the impact of audit adjustments related to completion of calendar-year financial statement audits of the investees are typically received during the second quarter of each calendar year.  Accordingly, our investment income from alternative investments for any calendar-year period may not include the complete impact of the change in the underlying net assets for the partnership for that calendar-year period. 

Payables for Collateral on Investments

When we enter into collateralized financing transactions on our investments, a liability is recorded equal to the cash or non-cash collateral received.  This liability is included within payables for collateral on investments on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.  Income and expenses associated with these transactions are recorded as investment income and investment expenses within net investment income on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).  Changes in payables for collateral on investments are reflected within cash flows from investing activities on our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Mortgage Loans on Real Estate

Mortgage loans on real estate are carried at unpaid principal balances adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts and are net of valuation allowances.  Interest income is accrued on the principal balance of the loan based on the loan’s contractual interest rate.  Premiums and discounts are amortized using the effective yield method over the life of the loan.  Interest income and amortization of premiums and discounts are reported in net investment income on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) along with mortgage loan fees, which are recorded as they are incurred.

Our commercial loan portfolio is comprised of long-term loans secured by existing commercial real estate.  As such, it does not exhibit risk characteristics unique to mezzanine, construction, residential, agricultural, land or other types of real estate loans.  We believe all of the loans in our portfolio share three primary risks:  borrower creditworthiness; sustainability of the cash flow of the property; and market risk; therefore, our methods for monitoring and assessing credit risk are consistent for our entire portfolio.  Loans are considered impaired when it is probable that, based upon current information and events, we will be unable to collect all amounts due under the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  When we determine that a loan is impaired, a valuation allowance is established for the excess carrying value of the loan over its estimated value.  The loan’s estimated value is based on:  the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate; the loan’s observable market price; or the fair value of the loan’s collateral.  Valuation allowances are maintained at a level we believe is adequate to absorb estimated probable credit losses of each specific loan.  Our periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for losses is based on our past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay (including the timing of future payments), the estimated value of the underlying collateral, composition of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions and other relevant factors.  Trends in market vacancy and rental rates are incorporated into the analysis that we perform for monitored loans and may contribute to the establishment of (or an increase or decrease in) an allowance for credit losses.  In addition, we review each loan individually in our commercial mortgage loan portfolio on an annual basis to identify emerging risks.  We focus on properties that experienced a reduction in debt-service coverage or that have significant exposure to tenants with deteriorating credit profiles.  Where warranted, we establish or increase loss reserves for a specific loan based upon this analysis.  Our process for determining past due or delinquency status begins when a payment date is missed, at which time the borrower is contacted.  After the grace period expiration that may last up to 10 days, we send a default notice.  The default notice generally provides a short time period to cure the default. Our policy is to report loans that are 60 or more days past due, which equates to two or more payments missed, as delinquent.  We do not accrue interest on loans 90 days past due, and any interest received on these loans is either applied to the principal or recorded in net investment income on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) when received, depending on the assessment of the collectability of the loan.  We resume accruing interest once a loan complies with all of its original terms or restructured terms.  Mortgage loans deemed uncollectable are charged against the allowance for losses, and subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance for losses.  All mortgage loans that are impaired have an established allowance for credit losses.  Changes in valuation allowances are reported in realized gain (loss) on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

10

We measure and assess the credit quality of our mortgage loans by using loan-to-value and debt-service coverage ratios.  The loan-to-value ratio compares the principal amount of the loan to the fair value at origination of the underlying property collateralizing the loan and is commonly expressed as a percentage.  Loan-to-value ratios greater than 100% indicate that the principal amount is greater than the collateral value.  Therefore, all else being equal, a lower loan-to-value ratio generally indicates a higher quality loan.  The debt-service coverage ratio compares a property’s net operating income to its debt-service payments.  Debt-service coverage ratios of less than 1.0 indicate that property operations do not generate enough income to cover its current debt payments.  Therefore, all else being equal, a higher debt-service coverage ratio generally indicates a higher quality loan.

Policy Loans

Policy loans represent loans we issue to contract holders that use the cash surrender value of their life insurance policy as collateral.  Policy loans are carried at unpaid principal balances. 

Real Estate

Real estate includes both real estate held for the production of income and real estate held-for-sale.  Real estate held for the production of income is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation.  Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset.  We periodically review properties held for the production of income for impairment.  Properties whose carrying values are greater than their projected undiscounted cash flows are written down to estimated fair value, with impairment losses reported in realized gain (loss) on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).  The estimated fair value of real estate is generally computed using the present value of expected future cash flows from the real estate discounted at a rate commensurate with the underlying risks.  Real estate classified as held-for-sale is stated at the lower of depreciated cost or fair value less expected disposition costs at the time classified as held-for-sale.  Real estate is not depreciated while it is classified as held-for-sale.  Also, valuation allowances for losses are established, as appropriate, for real estate held-for-sale and any changes to the valuation allowances are reported in realized gain (loss) on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).  Real estate acquired through foreclosure proceedings is recorded at fair value at the settlement date. 

Derivative Instruments

We hedge certain portions of our exposure to interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange risk, equity market risk and credit risk by entering into derivative transactions.  All of our derivative instruments are recognized as either assets or liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets at estimated fair value.  We categorized derivatives into a three-level hierarchy, based on the priority of the inputs to the respective valuation technique as discussed above in “Fair Value Measurement.”  The accounting for changes in the estimated fair value of a derivative instrument depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship, and further, on the type of hedging relationship.  For those derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments, we designate the hedging instrument based upon the exposure being hedged: as a cash flow hedge or a fair value hedge.

For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of AOCI and reclassified into net income in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects net income.  The remaining gain or loss on the derivative instrument in excess of the cumulative change in the present value of designated future cash flows of the hedged item (hedge ineffectiveness), if any, is recognized in net income during the period of change.  For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a fair value hedge, the gain or loss on the derivative instrument, as well as the offsetting gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in net income during the period of change in estimated fair values.  For derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments, but that are economic hedges, the gain or loss is recognized in net income.

We purchase and issue financial instruments and products that contain embedded derivative instruments.  When it is determined that the embedded derivative possesses economic characteristics that are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics of the host contract, and a separate instrument with the same terms would qualify as a derivative instrument, the embedded derivative is bifurcated from the host for measurement purposes.  The embedded derivative is carried at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income during the period of change. 

We employ several different methods for determining the fair value of our derivative instruments.  The fair value of our derivative contracts are measured based on current settlement values, which are based on quoted market prices, industry standard models that are commercially available and broker quotes.  These techniques project cash flows of the derivatives using current and implied future market conditions.  We calculate the present value of the cash flows to measure the current fair market value of the derivative.

Cash and Invested Cash

Cash and invested cash is carried at cost and includes all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less.

DAC, VOBA, DSI and DFEL

11

Acquisition costs directly related to successful contract acquisitions or renewals of universal lifeinsurance (“UL”),  variable universal life insurance (“VUL”), traditional life insurance, annuities and other investment contracts have been deferred (i.e., DAC) to the extent recoverable.  VOBA is an intangible asset that reflects the estimated fair value of in-force contracts in a life insurance company acquisition and represents the portion of the purchase price that is allocated to the value of the right to receive future cash flows from the business in force at the acquisition date.  Bonus credits and excess interest for dollar cost averaging contracts are considered DSI.  Contract sales charges that are collected in the early years of an insurance contract are deferred (i.e., DFEL), and the unamortized balance is reported in other contract holder funds on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. 

Both DAC and VOBA amortization, excluding amounts reported in realized gain (loss), is reported within commissions and other expenses on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).  DSI amortization, excluding amounts reported in realized gain (loss), is reported in interest credited on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).  The amortization of DFEL, excluding amounts reported in realized gain (loss), is reported within fee income on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).  The methodology for determining the amortization of DAC, VOBA, DSI and DFEL varies by product type.  For all insurance contracts, amortization is based on assumptions consistent with those used in the development of the underlying contract adjusted for emerging experience and expected trends. 

Acquisition costs for UL and VUL insurance and investment-type products, which include fixed and variable deferred annuities, are generally amortized over the lives of the policies in relation to the incidence of estimated gross profits (“EGPs”) from surrender charges, investment, mortality net of reinsurance ceded and expense margins and actual realized gain (loss) on investments.  Contract lives for UL and VUL policies are estimated to be30 to 40 years based on the expected lives of the contracts.  Contract lives for fixed and variable deferred annuities are generally between 13 and 30 years, while some of our fixed multi-year guarantee products have amortization periods equal to the guarantee period.  The front-end load annuity product has an assumed life of 25 years.  Longer lives are assigned to those blocks that have demonstrated favorable lapse experience. 

Acquisition costs for all traditional contracts, including traditional life insurance contracts, such as individual whole life, group business and term life insurance, are amortized over the expected premium-paying period that ranges from 7 to 77 years.  Acquisition costs are either amortized on astraight-line basis or as a level percent of premium of the related policies depending on the block of business.  There is currently no DAC, VOBA, DSI or DFEL balance or related amortization for fixed and variable payout annuities.

We account for modifications of insurance contracts that result in a substantially unchanged contract as a continuation of the replaced contract.  We account for modifications of insurance contracts that result in a substantially changed contract as an extinguishment of the replaced contract.

The carrying amounts of DAC, VOBA, DSI and DFEL are adjusted for the effects of realized and unrealized gains and losses on securities classified as AFS and certain derivatives and embedded derivatives.  Amortization expense of DAC, VOBA, DSI and DFEL reflects an assumption for an expected level of credit-related investment losses.  When actual credit-related investment losses are realized, we recognize a true-up to our DAC, VOBA, DSI and DFEL amortization within realized gain (loss) on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) reflecting the incremental effect of actual versus expected credit-related investment losses.  These actual to expected amortization adjustments can create volatility from period to period in realized gain (loss). 

During the third quarter of each year, we conduct our annual comprehensive review of the assumptions and the projection models used for our estimates of future gross profits underlying the amortization of DAC, VOBA, DSI and DFEL and the calculations of the embedded derivatives and reserves for life insurance and annuity products with living benefit and death benefit guarantees.  These assumptions include investment margins, mortality, retention, rider utilization and maintenance expenses (costs associated with maintaining records relating to insurance and individual and group annuity contracts, and with the processing of premium collections, deposits, withdrawals and commissions).  Based on our review, the cumulative balances of DAC, VOBA, DSI and DFEL included on our Consolidated Balance Sheets are adjusted with an offsetting benefit or charge to revenue or amortization expense to reflect such change related to our expectations of future EGPs (“unlocking”).  We may have unlocking in other quarters as we become aware of information that warrants updating assumptions outside of our annual comprehensive review.  We may also identify and implement actuarial modeling refinements that result in increases or decreases to the carrying values of DAC, VOBA, DSI, DFEL, embedded derivatives and reserves for life insurance and annuity products with living benefit and death benefit guarantees.

DAC, VOBA, DSI and DFEL are reviewed to ensure that the unamortized portion does not exceed the expected recoverable amounts.

Reinsurance

We enter into reinsurance agreements with other companies in the normal course of business.  Assets and liabilities and premiums and benefits from certain reinsurance contracts that grant statutory surplus relief to other insurance companies are netted on our Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss), respectively, because there is a right of offset.  All other reinsurance agreements are reported on a gross basis on our Consolidated Balance Sheets as an asset for amounts recoverable from reinsurers or as a component of other liabilities for amounts, such as premiums, owed to the reinsurers, with the exception of Modco agreements for which the right of offset also exists.  Reinsurance premiums and benefits paid or provided are accounted for on bases consistent with those used in accounting for the original policies issued and the terms of the reinsurance contracts.  Premiums, benefits and DAC are reported net of insurance ceded. 

Goodwill

12

We recognize the excess of the purchase price, plus the fair value of any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired as goodwill.  Goodwill is not amortized, but is reviewed at least annually for indications of value impairment, with consideration given to financial performance and other relevant factors.  We perform a two-step test in our evaluation of the carrying value of goodwill for each of our reporting units, ifqualitative factors determine it is necessary to complete the two-step goodwill impairment test.  The results of one test on one reporting unit cannot subsidize the results of another reporting unit.  In Step 1 of the evaluation, the fair value of each reporting unit is determined and compared to the carrying value of the reporting unit.  If the fair value is greater than the carrying value, then the carrying value of the reporting unit is deemed to be recoverable, and Step 2 is not required.  If the fair value estimate is less than the carrying value, it is an indicator that impairment may exist, and Step 2 is required.  In Step 2, the implied fair value of goodwill is determined for the reporting unit.  The reporting unit’s fair value as determined in Step 1 is assigned to all of its net assets (recognized and unrecognized) as if the reporting unit were acquired in a business combination as of the date of the impairment test.  If the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill is lower than its carrying amount, goodwill is impaired and written down to its fair value; and a charge is reported in impairment of intangibles on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

Other Assets and Other Liabilities

Other assets consist primarily ofDSI, specifically identifiable intangible assets, property and equipment owned by the Company, balances associated with corporate-owned and bank-owned life insurance, certain reinsurance assets, receivables resulting from sales of securities that had not yet settled as of the balance sheet date, debt issue costs, assets under capital leases,guaranteed living benefit (“GLB”) reserves embedded derivatives, other prepaid expenses and deferred losses on business sold through reinsurance.  Other liabilities consist primarily of current and deferred taxes, pension and other employee benefit liabilities, derivative instrument liabilities, certain reinsurance payables, payables resulting from purchases of securities that had not yet settled as of the balance sheet date, interest on borrowed funds, obligations under capital leases and other accrued expenses.

Other assets and other liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets include GLB features and remaining guaranteed interest and similar contracts that are carried at fair value, which may be reported in either other assets or other liabilities.  The fair value of these items represents approximate exit price including an estimate for our NPR. Certain of these features have elements of both insurance benefits and embedded derivatives.  Through our hybrid accounting approach, for reserve calculation purposes we assign product cash flows to the embedded derivative or insurance portion of the reserves based on the life-contingent nature of the benefits. We classify these GLB reserves embedded derivatives in Level 3 within the hierarchy levels described above in “Fair Value Measurement.”  We report the insurance portion of the reserves in future contract benefits.

The carrying values of specifically identifiable intangible assets are reviewed at least annually for indicators of impairment in value that are other-than-temporary, including unexpected or adverse changes in the following:  the economic or competitive environments in which the company operates; profitability analyses; cash flow analyses; and the fair value of the relevant business operation.  If there was an indication of impairment, then the discounted cash flow method would be used to measure the impairment, and the carrying value would be adjusted as necessary and reported in impairment of intangibles on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).  Sales force intangibles are attributable to the value of the new business distribution system acquired through business combinations.  These assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful life of 25 years.  Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) licenses acquired through business combinations are not amortized. 

Property and equipment owned for company use is carried at cost less allowances for depreciation.  Provisions for depreciation of investment real estate and property and equipment owned for company use are computed principally on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which include buildings, computer hardware and software and other property and equipment.  Certain assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheets are related to capital leases.  These assets under capital leases are depreciated in a manner consistent with our current depreciation policy for owned assets.  We periodically review the carrying value of our long-lived assets, including property and equipment, for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be fully recoverable.  For long-lived assets to be held and used, impairments are recognized when the carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value.  The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset.  An impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of a long-lived asset exceeds its fair value.

Long-lived assets to be disposed of by abandonment or in an exchange for a similar productive long-lived asset are classified as held-for-use until they are disposed. Long-lived assets to be sold are classified as held-for-sale and are no longer depreciated.  Certain criteria have to be met in order for the long-lived asset to be classified as held-for-sale, including that a sale is probable and expected to occur within one year.  Long-lived assets classified as held-for-sale are recorded at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.

We completed reinsurance transactions in 2012 and 2014 whereby we ceded closed blocks of UL contracts with secondary guarantees to Lincoln National Reinsurance Company (Barbados) Limited (“LNBAR”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of LNC.  We are recognizing the losses related to these transactions over a period of 30 years.

Separate Account Assets and Liabilities

We maintain separate account assets, which are reported at fair value.  The related liabilities are reported at an amount equivalent to the separate account assets.  Investment risks associated with market value changes are borne by the contract holders, except to the extent of minimum guarantees made by the Company with respect to certain accounts. 

13

We issue variable annuity contracts through our separate accounts for which investment income and investment gains and losses accrue directly to, and investment risk is borne by, the contract holder (traditional variable annuities).  We also issue variable annuity and life contracts through separate accounts that include various types of guaranteed death benefit (“GDB”), guaranteed withdrawal benefit (“GWB”) and guaranteed income benefit (“GIB”) features.  The GDB features include those where we contractually guarantee to the contract holder either:  return of no less than total deposits made to the contract less any partial withdrawals (“return of net deposits”); total deposits made to the contract less any partial withdrawals plus a minimum return (“minimum return”); or the highest contract value on any contract anniversary date through age 80 minus any payments or withdrawals following the contract anniversary (“anniversary contract value”). 

As discussed in Note 7, certain features of these guarantees are accounted for as embedded derivative reserves, whereas other guarantees are accounted for as benefit reserves.  Other guarantees contain characteristics of both and are accounted for under an approach that calculates the value of the embedded derivative reserve and the benefit reserve based on the specific characteristics of each GLB feature.  We use derivative instruments to hedge our exposure to the risks and earnings volatility that result from the embedded derivatives for living benefits in certain of our variable annuity products.  The change in fair value of these instruments tends to move in the opposite direction of the change in the value of the associated reserves.  The net impact of these changes is reported as a component of realized gain (loss) on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

The “market consistent scenarios” used in the determination of the fair value of the GLB liability are similar to those used by an investment bank to value derivatives for which the pricing is not transparent and the aftermarket is nonexistent or illiquid.  We use risk-neutral Monte Carlo simulations in our calculation to value the entire block of guarantees, which involve 100 unique scenarios per policy or approximately 46 million scenarios.  The market consistent scenario assumptions, as of each valuation date, are those we view to be appropriate for a hypothetical market participant.  The market consistent inputs include assumptions for the capital markets (e.g., implied volatilities, correlation among indices, risk-free swap curve, etc.), policyholder behavior (e.g., policy lapse, benefit utilization, mortality, etc.), risk margins, administrative expenses and a margin for profit.  We believe these assumptions are consistent with those that would be used by a market participant; however, as the related markets develop we will continue to reassess our assumptions.  It is possible that different valuation techniques and assumptions could produce a materially different estimate of fair value.

Future Contract Benefits and Other Contract Holder Funds

Future contract benefits represent liability reserves that we have established and carry based on estimates of how much we will need to pay for future benefits and claims.  Other contract holder funds represent liabilities for fixed account values, including the fixed portion of variable, dividends payable, premium deposit funds, undistributed earnings on participating business and other contract holder funds as well the carrying value of DFEL discussed above.

The liabilities for future contract benefits and claim reserves for UL and VUL policies consist of contract account balances that accrue to the benefit of the contract holders, excluding surrender charges.  The liabilities for future insurance contract benefits and claim reserves for traditional life policies are computed using assumptions for investment yields, mortality and withdrawals based principally on generally accepted actuarial methods and assumptions at the time of contract issue.  Investment yield assumptions for traditional direct individual life reserves for all contracts range from 2.25% to 7.75% depending on the time of contract issue.  The investment yield assumptions for immediate and deferred paid-up annuities range from 1.50% to 13.50%.  These investment yield assumptions are intended to represent an estimation of the interest rate experience for the period that these contract benefits are payable.

The liabilities for future claim reserves for variable annuity products containing GDB features are calculated by estimating the present value of total expected benefit payments over the life of the contract from inception divided by the present value of total expected assessments over the life of the contract (“benefit ratio”) multiplied by the cumulative assessments recorded from the contract inception through the balance sheet date less the cumulative GDB payments plus interest on the liability.  The change in the liability for a period is the benefit ratio multiplied by the assessments recorded for the period less GDB claims paid in the period plus interest.  As experience or assumption changes result in a change in expected benefit payments or assessments, the benefit ratio is unlocked, that is, recalculated using the updated expected benefit payments and assessments over the life of the contract since inception.  The revised benefit ratio is then applied to the liability calculation described above, with the resulting change in liability reported in benefits on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

With respect to our future contract benefits and other contract holder funds, we continually review overall reserve position, reserving techniques and reinsurance arrangements.  As experience develops and new information becomes known, liabilities are adjusted as deemed necessary.  The effects of changes in estimates are included in the operating results for the period in which such changes occur.

The business written or assumed by us includes participating life insurance contracts, under which the contract holder is entitled to share in the earnings of such contracts via receipt of dividends.  The dividend scale for participating policies is reviewed annually and may be adjusted to reflect recent experience and future expectations.  As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, participating policies comprised approximately 1% of the face amount of insurance in force, and dividend expenses were $64 million,$62 million and $71 million for the years ended December 31, 2014,  2013 and 2012, respectively.

Liabilities for the secondary guarantees on UL-type products are calculated by multiplying the benefit ratio by the cumulative assessments recorded from contract inception through the balance sheet date less the cumulative secondary guarantee benefit payments plus interest.  If experience or assumption changes result in a new benefit ratio, the reserves are adjusted to reflect the changes in a manner similar to

14

the unlocking of DAC, VOBA, DFEL and DSI.  The accounting for secondary guarantee benefits impacts, and is impacted by, EGPs used to calculate amortization of DAC, VOBA, DFEL and DSI.

Certain of our variable annuity contracts reported within future contract benefits contain GLB reserves embedded derivatives, a portion of which may be reported in either other assets or other liabilities, and include guaranteed interest and similar contracts, that are carried at fair value on our Consolidated Balance Sheets, which represents approximate exit price including an estimate for our NPR.  Certain of these features have elements of both insurance benefits and embedded derivatives.  Through our hybrid accounting approach, for reserve calculation purposes we assign product cash flows to the embedded derivative or insurance portion of the reserves based on the life-contingent nature of the benefits.  We classify these GLB reserves embedded derivatives items in Level 3 within the hierarchy levels described above in “Fair Value Measurement.”  We report the insurance portion of the reserves in future contract benefits.

The fair value of our indexed annuity contracts is based on their approximate surrender values.

Borrowed Funds

LNL’s short-term borrowings are defined as borrowings with contractual or expected maturities of one year or less.  Long-term borrowings have contractual or expected maturities greater than one year.

Deferred Gain on Business Sold Through Reinsurance

Our reinsurance operations were acquired by Swiss Re Life & Health America, Inc. (“Swiss Re”) in December 2001 through a series of indemnity reinsurance transactions.  We are recognizing the gain related to these transactions at the rate that earnings on the reinsured business are expected to emerge, over a period of 15 years from the date of sale.

We completed a reinsurance transaction in 2009 whereby we assumed a closed block of term contracts from First Penn-Pacific Life Insurance Company.  We are recognizing the gain related to this transaction over a period of 15 years.

We completed reinsurance transactions in 2012 and 2013 whereby we ceded a closed block of UL contracts with secondary guarantees to LNBAR.  We are recognizing the gains related to these transactions over a period of 30 years.

Contingencies and Commitments

Contingencies arising from environmental remediation costs, regulatory judgments, claims, assessments, guarantees, litigation, recourse reserves, fines, penalties and other sources are recorded when deemed probable and reasonably estimable.

Fee Income

Fee income for investment and interest-sensitive life insurance contracts consist of asset-based fees, cost of insurance charges, percent of premium charges, contract administration charges and surrender charges that are assessed against contract holder account balances.  Investment products consist primarily of individual and group variable and fixed deferred annuities.  Interest-sensitive life insurance products include UL, VUL and other interest-sensitive life insurance policies.  These products include life insurance sold to individuals, corporate-owned life insurance and bank-owned life insurance. 

In bifurcating the embedded derivative of our GLB features on our variable annuity products, we attribute to the embedded derivative the portion of total fees collected from the contract holder that relate to the GLB riders (the “attributed fees”), which are not reported within fee income on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).  These attributed fees represent the present value of future claims expected to be paid for the GLB at the inception of the contract plus a margin that a theoretical market participant would include for risk/profit and are reported within realized gain (loss) on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

The timing of revenue recognition as it relates to fees assessed on investment contracts is determined based on the nature of such fees.  Asset-based fees, cost of insurance and contract administration charges are assessed on a daily or monthly basis and recognized as revenue when assessed and earned.  Percent of premium charges are assessed at the time of premium payment and recognized as revenue when assessed and earned.  Certain amounts assessed that represent compensation for services to be provided in future periods are reported as unearned revenue and recognized in income over the periods benefited.  Surrender charges are recognized upon surrender of a contract by the contract holder in accordance with contractual terms.

For investment and interest-sensitive life insurance contracts, the amounts collected from contract holders are considered deposits and are not included in revenue.

Insurance Premiums

Our insurance premiums for traditional life insurance and group insurance products are recognized as revenue when due from the contract holder.  Our traditional life insurance products include those products with fixed and guaranteed premiums and benefits and consist primarily of whole life insurance, limited-payment life insurance, term life insurance and certain annuities with life contingencies.  Our group non-medical insurance products consist primarily of term life, disability and dental.

15

Net Investment Income

Dividends and interest income, recorded in net investment income, are recognized when earned.  Amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts on investments in debt securities are reflected in net investment income over the contractual terms of the investments in a manner that produces a constant effective yield. 

For CLOs and MBS, included in the trading and AFS fixed maturity securities portfolios, we recognize income using a constant effective yield based on anticipated prepayments and the estimated economic life of the securities.  When actual prepayments differ significantly from originally anticipated prepayments, the retrospective effective yield is recalculated to reflect actual payments to date and a catch up adjustment is recorded in the current period.  In addition, the new effective yield, which reflects anticipated future payments, is used prospectively.  Any adjustments resulting from changes in effective yield are reflected in net investment income on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

Realized Gain (Loss)

Realized gain (loss) on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) includes realized gains and losses from the sale of investments, write-downs for OTTI of investments, certain derivative and embedded derivative gains and losses, gains and losses on the sale of subsidiaries and businesses and net gains and losses on reinsurance embedded derivatives and trading securities.  Realized gains and losses on the sale of investments are determined using the specific identification method.  Realized gain (loss) is recognized in net income, net of associated amortization of DAC, VOBA, DSI and DFEL.  Realized gain (loss) is also net of allocations of investment gains and losses to certain contract holders and certain funds withheld on reinsurance arrangements for which we have a contractual obligation. 

Other Revenues

Other revenues consists primarily of proceeds from reinsurance recaptures, fees attributable to broker-dealer services recorded as earned at the time of sale, changes in the market value of our seed capital investments and communications sales recognized as earned, net of agency and representative commissions. 

Interest Credited

Interest credited includes interest credited to contract holder account balances.  Interest crediting rates associated with funds invested in our general account during 2012 through 2014 ranged from 1% to 10%.

Benefits

Benefits for UL and other interest-sensitive life insurance products include benefit claims incurred during the period in excess of contract account balances.  Benefits also include the change in reserves for life insurance products with secondary guarantee benefits, annuity products with guaranteed death and living benefits and certain annuities with life contingencies.  For traditional life, group health and disability income products, benefits are recognized when incurred in a manner consistent with the related premium recognition policies. 

Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans

Pursuant to the accounting rules for our obligations to employees and agents under our various pension and other postretirement benefit plans, we are required to make a number of assumptions to estimate related liabilities and expenses.  The mortality assumption is based on actual and anticipated plan experience, determined using acceptable actuarial methods.  We use assumptions for the weighted-average discount rate and expected return on plan assets to estimate pension expense.  The discount rate assumptions are determined using an analysis of current market information and the projected benefit flows associated with these plans.  The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets is based on historical and projected future rates of return on the funds invested in the plan.  The calculation of our accumulated postretirement benefit obligation also uses an assumption of weighted-average annual rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered benefits, which reflects a health care cost trend rate. 

Stock-Based Compensation

In general, we expense the fair value of stock awards included in our incentive compensation plans.  As of the date LNC’s Board of Directors approves stock awards, the fair value of stock options is determined using a Black-Scholes options valuation methodology, and the fair value of other stock awards is based upon the market value of the stock.  The fair value of the awards is expensed over the performance or service period, which generally corresponds to the vesting period, and is recognized as an increase to common stock in stockholder’s equity.  We classify certain stock awards as liabilities.  For these awards, the settlement value is classified as a liability on our Consolidated Balance Sheets, and the liability is marked-to-market through net income at the end of each reporting period.  Stock-based compensation expense is reflected in commissions and other expenses on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). 

Interest and Debt Expense

16

Interest expense on our short-term and long-term debt is recognized as due and any associated premiums, discounts and costs are amortized (accreted) over the term of the related borrowing utilizing the effective interest method.  In addition, gains or losses related to certain derivative instruments associated with debt are recognized in interest and debt expense during the period of the change.

Income Taxes

We file a U.S. consolidated income tax return with LNC and its eligible subsidiaries.  Ineligible subsidiaries file separate individual corporate tax returns.  Deferred income taxes are recognized, based on enacted rates, when assets and liabilities have different values for financial statement and tax reporting purposes.  A valuation allowance is recorded to the extent required.  Considerable judgment and the use of estimates are required in determining whether a valuation allowance is necessary and, if so, the amount of such valuation allowance.  In evaluating the need for a valuation allowance, we consider many factors, including:  the nature and character of the deferred tax assets and liabilities; taxable income in prior carryback years; future reversals of temporary differences; the length of time carryovers can be utilized; and any tax planning strategies we would employ to avoid a tax benefit from expiring unused.

Discontinued Operations

As of October 1, 2014, the results of operations of a component of the Company that either has been disposed of or is classified as held-for-sale are reported in income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of federal income taxes, if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has, or will have, a major effect on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.  See Note 2 for more information regarding the change to our discontinued operations policy.

2.New Accounting Standards

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

The following table provides a description of our adoption of new Accounting Standard Updates (“ASUs”) issued by the FASB and the impact of the adoption on our financial statements:

Standard	Description	Date of Adoption	Effect on Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters
ASU 2011-06, Fees Paid to the Federal Government by Health Insurer	This standard addresses the recognition and classification of fees mandated by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.  The annual fee is imposed on health insurers for each calendar year beginning on or after January 1, 2014, and is payable no later than September 30 of the applicable year.  If a fee payment is required, the insurer is required to record the liability in full with a corresponding deferred cost that is amortized to expense using a straight-line method of allocation over the applicable year.  The ASU indicates that the annual fee does not meet the definition of an acquisition cost.	January 1, 2014	The amendments in this ASU did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.
ASU 2013-08, Amendments to the Scope, Measurement, and Disclosure Requirements (Topic 946, Investment Companies)	This standard provides comprehensive accounting guidance for assessing whether an entity is an investment company through the use of a new two-tiered approach; considering the entity’s purpose and design to determine whether the entity is an investment company.  Upon adoption, all entities must be re-evaluated against the new investment company criteria to determine if investment company classification is permitted.	January 1, 2014	The adoption of this ASU did not have an effect on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.
ASU 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists	This standard requires an entity to present unrecognized tax benefits as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward.  The standard defines specific exceptions when the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and not combined with deferred tax assets.	January 1, 2014	The adoption of this ASU did not have an effect on the deferred tax asset or liability classification on our balance sheet and did not result in any additional disclosures to our financial statements.
ASU 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity	This standard changes the requirements for reporting discontinued operations.  The disposal of a component of an entity must be reported as a discontinued operation if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results.  The amendments also require entities to provide new disclosures about a disposal of an individually significant component of an entity that does not qualify for discontinued operations presentation.  Early adoption is permitted, but only for disposals that have not been reported in financial statements previously issued or available for issuance.	Early adopted as of October 1, 2014	We applied the guidance in this standard to the sale of Lincoln Financial Media (“LFM”) in the fourth quarter of 2014.  For more information regarding the sale of LFM, see Note 3.

18

Future Adoption of New Accounting Standards

The following table provides a description of future adoptions of new accounting standards that may have an impact on our financial statements when adopted:

Standard	Description	Projected Date of Adoption	Effect on Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters
ASU 2014-01, Accounting for Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects	Under current GAAP, the use of the effective yield method for investments in qualified affordable housing projects is limited, and may result in certain investments being accounted for under a method of accounting that may not fairly represent the economics of the investment.  This standard permits an entity to make an accounting policy election to use the proportional amortization method of accounting if certain conditions are met.  The amendments are to be applied retrospectively for interim and annual reporting periods.	January 1, 2015	We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard, and do not expect the adoption to have a material effect on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.
ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers	This standard establishes the core principle of recognizing revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods and services.  The amendments define a five-step process that systematically identifies the various components of the revenue recognition process, culminating with the recognition of revenue upon satisfaction of an entity’s performance obligation.  Retrospective application is required, and early adoption is not permitted.	January 1, 2017	We will adopt the accounting guidance in this standard for non-insurance related products and services, and are currently evaluating the impact of adoption on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.
ASU 2014-11, Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings and Disclosures	This standard eliminates a distinction in current GAAP related to certain repurchase agreements, and amends current GAAP to require repurchase-to-maturity transactions and linked repurchase financings to be accounted for as secured borrowings; consistent with the accounting for other repurchase agreements.  The standard also includes new disclosure requirements related to transfers accounted for as sales that are economically similar to repurchase agreements.  The new disclosures are not required for comparative periods before the effective date.	January 1, 2015	We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations and will provide the required disclosures, as necessary, in our 2015 consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2014-16, Determining Whether the Host Contract in a Hybrid Financial Instrument Issued in the Form of a Share Is More Akin to Debt or to Equity	This standard clarifies that when considering the nature of the host contract in a hybrid financial instrument issued in the form of a share; an entity must consider all of the stated and implied substantive terms of the hybrid instrument, including the embedded derivative feature that is being considered for separate accounting from the host contract.  Early adoption of this standard is permitted and application is under a modified retrospective basis to existing hybrid financial instruments that are within the scope of the standard.	January 1, 2016	We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.
ASU 2015-02, Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis	This standard is intended to improve consolidation accounting guidance related to LPs, limited liability corporations and securitization structures.  The new standard includes changes to existing consolidation models that will eliminate the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a LP, clarify when fees paid to a decision maker should be a factor in the VIE consolidation evaluation and reduce the VIE consolidation models from two to one by eliminating the indefinite deferral for certain investment funds.  Early adoption is permitted including adoption in an interim period.	January 1, 2016	We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

3.  Dispositions

LFM

On December 7, 2014, we entered into a stock purchase agreement with Entercom Communications Corp. (“Entercom Parent”) and Entercom Radio, LLC (“Entercom”), pursuant to which we agreed to sell LFM to Entercom for $105 million consisting of cash and perpetual cumulative convertible preferred stock of Entercom Parent.  The transaction is subject to FCC, Hart-Scott-Rodino (“H-S-R”) and other customary regulatory approvals and closing conditions.  As a result of a request for additional information under the H-S-R Act, closing may be delayed beyond the second quarter of 2015.

As of December 31, 2014, we adjusted the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities of LFM that will be sold to fair value less cost to sell and have reclassified such amounts as held-for-sale within other assets and other liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.  Accordingly, we recognized a loss of $28 million, after-tax, during the fourth quarter of 2014 reflected within income (loss) from continuing operations on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

4.  Business Ceded, Recaptured and Novated

Business Ceded

We completed a reinsurance transaction during 2014 whereby we entered into an agreement to recapture certain traditional and interest sensitive business under several yearly renewable term reinsurance treaties that were originally ceded to a reinsurer.  As part of this agreement, we received cash consideration of $500 million, of which $78 million represented reimbursement for prepaid reinsurance premiums related to the recaptured treaties.  We recognized a one-time gain of $57 million, after-tax, related to this recapture with the remaining difference between the proceeds and the gain being driven primarily by increases in reserves of $226 million and a reduction of DAC of $123 million.

21

We completed a reinsurance transaction during 2012 whereby we recaptured a block of secondary guaranteed UL business previously ceded to LNBAR.  The following summarizes the effect of this transaction (in millions) on our Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012:

5.  VIE

Consolidated VIEs

Credit-Linked Notes

We have invested in the Class 1 notes of two credit-linked note (“CLN”) structures, which represent special purpose trusts combining ABS with credit default swaps to produce multi-class structured securities.  The CLN structures also include subordinated Class 2 notes, which are held by third parties, and, together with the Class 1 notes, represent 100% of the outstanding notes of the CLN structures.  The entities that issued the CLNs are financed by the note holders, and, as such, the note holders participate in the expected losses and residual returns of the entities. 

Because the note holders do not have voting rights or similar rights, we determined the entities issuing the CLNs are VIEs, and as a note holder, our interest represented a variable interest.  We have the power to direct the most significant activity affecting the performance of both CLN structures, as we have the ability to actively manage the reference portfolios underlying the credit default swaps.  In addition, we receive returns from the CLN structures and may absorb losses that could potentially be significant to the CLN structures.  As such, we concluded that we are the primary beneficiary of the VIEs associated with the CLNs.  We reflect the assets and liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets and recognize the results of operations of these VIEs on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

22

As a result of consolidating the CLNs, we also consolidate the derivative instruments in the CLN structures.  The credit default swaps create variability in the CLN structures and expose the note holders to the credit risk of the referenced portfolio.  The contingent forward contracts transfer a portion of the loss in the underlying fixed maturity corporate asset-backed credit card loan securities back to the counterparty after credit losses reach our attachment point.

The following summarizes information regarding the CLN structures (dollars in millions) as of December 31, 2014:

	Amount and Date of Issuance
		$400	$200
		December	April
		2006	2007
Original attachment point (subordination)		5.50%	2.05%
Current attachment point (subordination)		4.21%	1.48%
Maturity		12/20/2016	3/20/2017
Current rating of tranche		BBB-	Ba2
Current rating of underlying reference obligations		AA - BB	AAA - CCC
Number of defaults in underlying reference obligations		3	2
Number of entities		123	99
Number of countries		20	21

There has been no event of default on the CLNs themselves.  Based upon our analysis, the remaining subordination as represented by the attachment point should be sufficient to absorb future credit losses, subject to changing market conditions.  Similar to other debt market instruments, our maximum principal loss is limited to our original investment.

The following summarizes the exposure of the CLN structures’ underlying reference obligations by industry and rating as of December 31, 2014:

Statutory Trust Note

In August2011, we purchased a $100 million note issued by a statutory trust (“Issuer”) in a private placement offering.  The proceeds were used by the Issuer to purchase U.S. government bonds to be held as collateral assets supporting an excess mortality swap.  Weconcluded that the Issuer of the note was a VIE and that we were the primary beneficiary.  We consolidated all of the assets and liabilities of the Issuer on our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of August 1, 2011.

On December 16, 2013, the excess mortality swap underlying this VIE was terminated as a result of a cancellation event under the associated swap agreement.  Subsequently, the U.S. government bonds were redeemed on January 6, 2014, and our $100 million note issued by the statutory trust was cancelled.The combination of these two events, under the direction of LNC and its counterparty, has provided for the dissolution of this VIE effective January 6, 2014.  As such, we no longer have any exposure to loss related to this VIE.

Unconsolidated VIEs

Structured Securities

Through our investment activities, we make passive investments in structured securities issued by VIEs for which we are not the manager.  These structured securities include our RMBS, CMBS, CLOs and CDOs.  We have not provided financial or other support with respect to these VIEs other than our original investment.  We have determined that we are not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs due to the relative size of our investment in comparison to the principal amount of the structured securities issued by the VIEs and the level of credit subordination that reduces our obligation to absorb losses or right to receive benefits.  Our maximum exposure to loss on these structured securities is limited to the amortized cost for these investments.  We recognize our variable interest in these VIEs at fair value on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.  For information about these structured securities, see Note 6.

Qualified Affordable Housing Projects

We invest in certain LPs that operate qualified affordable housing projects that we concluded are VIEs.  We receive returns from the LPs in the form of income tax credits, and our exposure to loss is limited to the capital we invest in the LPs.  We are not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs as we do not have the power to direct the most significant activities of the LPs.  Our maximum exposure to loss was $60 million and $77 million as of December 31, 2014and 2013, respectively.

AFS Securities

Pursuant to the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the FASB ASC, we have categorized AFS securities into a three-level hierarchy, based on the priority of the inputs to the respective valuation technique.  The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3), as described in Note 1, which also includes additional disclosures regarding our fair value measurements.

⁽¹⁾ We may reflect a security in more than one aging category based on various purchase dates. 

We regularly review our investment holdings for OTTI.  Our gross unrealized losses, including the portion of OTTI recognized in OCI, on AFS securities decreased $831 million for the year ended December 31, 2014.  As discussed further below, we believe the unrealized loss position as of December 31, 2014, did not represent OTTI as (i) we did not intend to sell these fixed maturity AFS securities; (ii) it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell the fixed maturity AFS securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis; (iii) the estimated future cash flows were equal to or greater than the amortized cost basis of the debt securities; and (iv) we had the ability and intent to hold the equity AFS securities for a period of time sufficient for recovery. 

28

Based upon this evaluation as of December 31, 2014, management believes we have the ability to generate adequate amounts of cash from our normal operations (e.g., insurance premiums and fees and investment income) to meet cash requirements with a prudent margin of safety without requiring the sale of our temporarily-impaired securities.

As of December 31, 2014,  the unrealized losses associated with our corporate bond securities were attributable primarily to widening credit spreads and rising interest rates since purchase.  We performed a detailed analysis of the financial performance of the underlying issuers and determined that we expected to recover the entire amortized cost for each security.

As of December 31, 2014, the unrealized losses associated with our MBS and ABS were attributable primarily to collateral losses and credit spreads.  We assessed for credit impairment using a cash flow model that incorporates key assumptions including default rates, severities and prepayment rates.  We estimated losses for a security by forecasting the underlying loans in each transaction.  The forecasted loan performance was used to project cash flows to the various tranches in the structure, as applicable.  Our forecasted cash flows also considered, as applicable, independent industry analyst reports and forecasts, sector credit ratings and other independent market data.  Based upon our assessment of the expected credit losses of the security given the performance of the underlying collateral compared to our subordination or other credit enhancement, we expected to recover the entire amortized cost basis of each temporarily impaired security.

As of December 31, 2014, the unrealized losses associated with our hybrid and redeemable preferred securities were attributable primarily to wider credit spreads caused by illiquidity in the market and subordination within the capital structure, as well as credit risk of underlying issuers.  For our hybrid and redeemable preferred securities, we evaluated the financial performance of the underlying issuers based upon credit performance and investment ratings and determined that we expected to recover the entire amortized cost of each security.

Changes in the amount of credit loss of OTTI recognized in net income (loss) where the portion related to other factors was recognized in OCI (in millions) on fixed maturity AFS securities were as follows:

	For the Years Ended December 31,
	2014			2013			2012
Balance as of beginning-of-year	$	378		$	402		$	380
Increases attributable to:
Credit losses on securities for which an OTTI was not previously recognized		4			37			98
Credit losses on securities for which an OTTI was previously recognized		15			40			59
Decreases attributable to:
Securities sold, paid down or matured		(37	)		(101	)		(135	)
Balance as of end-of-year	$	360		$	378		$	402

During 2014,  2013 and 2012, we recorded credit losses on securities for which an OTTI was not previously recognized as we determined the cash flows expected to be collected would not be sufficient to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the debt security.  The credit losses we recorded on securities for which an OTTI was not previously recognized were attributable primarily to one or a combination of the following reasons:

· Failure of the issuer of the security to make scheduled payments;

· Deterioration of creditworthiness of the issuer;

· Deterioration of conditions specifically related to the security;

· Deterioration of fundamentals of the industry in which the issuer operates; and

· Deterioration of the rating of the security by a rating agency.

We recognize the OTTI attributed to the noncredit portion as a separate component in OCI referred to as unrealized OTTI on AFS securities.

Determination of Credit Losses on Corporate Bonds and ABS

As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, we reviewed our corporate bond and ABS portfolios for potential shortfall in contractual principal and interest based on numerous subjective and objective inputs.  The factors used to determine the amount of credit loss for each individual security, include, but are not limited to, near term risk, substantial discrepancy between book and market value, sector or company-specific volatility, negative operating trends and trading levels wider than peers. 

Credit ratings express opinions about the credit quality of a security.  Securities rated investment grade, that is those rated BBB- or higher by Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) Rating Services or Baa3 or higher by Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”), are generally considered by the rating agencies and market participants to be low credit risk.  As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, 96% of the fair value of our corporate bond portfolio was rated investment grade.  As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the portion of our corporate bond portfolio rated below investment grade had an amortized cost of $3.2 billion and $2.7 billion, respectively, and a fair value of $3.2 billion and $2.7 billion, respectively.  As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, 88% and 89%, respectively, of the fair value of our ABS portfolio was rated investment grade.  As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the portion of our ABS portfolio rated below investment grade had an amortized cost of $188 million and $262 million, respectively, and a fair value of $171 million and $217 million, respectively.  Based upon the analysis discussed above, we believed as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, that we would recover the amortized cost of each investment grade corporate bond and ABS security.

Determination of Credit Losses on MBS

As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, default rates were projected by considering underlying MBS loan performance and collateral type.  Projected default rates on existing delinquencies vary between 10% to 100% depending on loan type and severity of delinquency status.  In addition, we estimate the potential contributions of currently performing loans that may become delinquent in the future based on the change in delinquencies and loan liquidations experienced in the recent history.  Finally, we develop a default rate timing curve by aggregating the defaults for all loans in the pool (delinquent loans, foreclosure and real estate owned and new delinquencies from currently performing loans) and the associated loan-level loss severities. 

We use certain available loan characteristics such as lien status, loan sizes and occupancy to estimate the loss severity of loans.  Second lien loans are assigned 100% severity, if defaulted.  For first lien loans, we assume a minimum of 30% severity with higher severity assumed for investor properties and further adjusted by housing price assumptions.  With the default rate timing curve and loan-level severity, we derive the future expected credit losses.

Investment Commitments

As of December 31, 2014, our investment commitments were $1.4 billion, which included $615 million of LPs, $388 million of private placement securities and $372 million of mortgage loans on real estate.

Concentrations of Financial Instruments

As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, our most significant investments in one issuer were our investments in securities issued by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation with a fair value of $2.1 billion and $2.5 billion, respectively, or 2% and 3% of our invested assets portfolio, respectively, and our investments in securities issued by Fannie Mae with a fair value of $1.3 billion and $1.7 billion, respectively, or 1% and 2%, respectively, of our invested assets portfolio.  These investments are included in corporate bonds in the tables above.

34

securities in the consumer non-cyclical industry with a fair value of $11.3 billion and $10.7 billion, respectively, or 11% of our invested assets portfolio. 

7.  Derivative Instruments

We maintain an overall risk management strategy that incorporates the use of derivative instruments to minimize significant unplanned fluctuations in earnings that are caused by interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange risk, equity market risk, default risk, basis risk and credit risk.  We assess these risks by continually identifying and monitoring changes in our exposures that may adversely affect expected future cash flows and by evaluating hedging opportunities.

Derivative activities are monitored by various management committees.  The committees are responsible for overseeing the implementation of various hedging strategies that are developed through the analysis of financial simulation models and other internal and industry sources.  The resulting hedging strategies are incorporated into our overall risk management strategies.    

See Note 1 for a detailed discussion of the accounting treatment for derivative instruments.  See Note 22 for additional disclosures related to the fair value of our derivative instruments and Note 5 for derivative instruments related to our consolidated VIEs.

Interest Rate Contracts

We use derivative instruments as part of our interest rate risk management strategy.  These instruments are economic hedges unless otherwise noted and include:

Consumer Price Index Swaps

We use consumer price index swaps to hedge the liability exposure on certain options in fixed annuity products.  Consumer price index swaps are contracts entered into at no cost and whose payoff is the difference between the consumer price index inflation rate and the fixed-rate determined as of inception.

Forward-Starting Interest Rate Swaps

We use forward-starting interest rate swaps designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges to hedge our exposure to interest rate fluctuations related to the forecasted purchases of certain assets. 

Interest Rate Cap Corridors

We use interest rate cap corridors to provide a level of protection from the effect of rising interest rates for certain life insurance products and annuity contracts.  Interest rate cap corridors involve purchasing an interest rate cap at a specific cap rate and selling an interest rate cap with a higher cap rate.  For each corridor, the amount of quarterly payments, if any, is determined by the rate at which the underlying index rate resets above the original capped rate.  The corridor limits the benefit the purchaser can receive as the related interest rate index rises above the higher capped rate.  There is no additional liability to us other than the purchase price associated with the interest rate cap corridor.

Interest Rate Futures

We use interest rate futures contracts to hedge the liability exposure on certain options in variable annuity products.  These futures contracts require payment between our counterparty and us on a daily basis for changes in the futures index price.

Interest Rate Swap Agreements

We use interest rate swap agreements to hedge the liability exposure on certain options in variable annuity products.

We also use interest rate swap agreements designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges.  These instruments either hedge the interest rate risk of floating-rate bond coupon payments by replicating a fixed-rate bond, or hedge our exposure to fixed-rate bond coupon payments and the change in the underlying asset values as interest rates fluctuate. 

Reverse Treasury Locks

We use reverse treasury locks designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges to hedge the interest rate exposure related to the purchase of fixed-rate securities or the anticipated future cash flows of floating-rate fixed maturity securities due to changes in interest rates.  These derivatives are primarily structured to hedge interest rate risk inherent in the assumptions used to price certain liabilities. 

Foreign Currency Contracts

We use derivative instruments as part of our foreign currency risk management strategy.  These instruments are economic hedges unless otherwise noted and include: 

Currency Futures

35

We use currency futures to hedge foreign exchange risk associated with certain options in variable annuity products.  Currency futures exchange one currency for another at a specified date in the future at a specified exchange rate. 

Foreign Currency Swaps

We use foreign currency swaps designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges to hedge some of the foreign exchange risk of investments in fixed maturity securities denominated in foreign currencies.  A foreign currency swap is a contractual agreement to exchange the currencies of two different countries at a specified rate of exchange in the future. 

Equity Market Contracts

We use derivative instruments as part of our equity market risk management strategy that are economic hedges and include: 

Call Options Based on the S&P 500 Index®

We issue indexed annuity contracts that permit the holder to elect an interest rate return or an equity market component, where interest credited to the contracts is linked to the performance of the S&P 500 Index® (“S&P 500”).  Contract holders may elect to rebalance index options at renewal dates, either annually or biannually.  As of each renewal date, we have the opportunity to re-price the indexed component by establishing participation rates, caps, spreads and specified rates, subject to contractual guarantees.  We purchase call options that are highly correlated to the portfolio allocation decisions of our contract holders, such that we are economically hedged with respect to equity returns for the current reset period. 

Equity Futures

We use equity futures contracts to hedge the liability exposure on certain options in variable annuity products.  These futures contracts require payment between our counterparty and us on a daily basis for changes in the futures index price.

Put Options

We use put options to hedge the liability exposure on certain options in variable annuity products.  Put options are contracts that require counterparties to pay us at a specified future date the amount, if any, by which a specified equity index is less than the strike rate stated in the agreement, applied to a notional amount.

Total Return Swaps

We use total return swaps to hedge the liability exposure on certain options in variable annuity products.  We receive the total return on a portfolio of indexes and pay a floating-rate of interest.

In addition, we use total return swaps to hedge a portion of the liability related to our deferred compensation plans.  We receive the total return on a portfolio of indexes and pay a floating-rate of interest.

Variance Swaps

We use variance swaps to hedge the liability exposure on certain options in variable annuity products.  Variance swaps are contracts entered into at no cost and whose payoff is the difference between the realized variance rate of an underlying index and the fixed variance rate determined as of inception.

Credit Contracts

We use derivative instruments as part of our credit risk management strategy that are economic hedges and include: 

Credit Default Swaps – Selling Protection

We sell credit default swaps to offer credit protection to contract holders and investors.  The credit default swaps hedge the contract holders and investors against a drop in bond prices due to credit concerns of certain bond issuers.  A credit default swap allows the investor to put the bond back to us at par upon a default event by the bond issuer.  A default event is defined as bankruptcy, failure to pay, obligation acceleration or restructuring. 

36

Embedded Derivatives

We have embedded derivatives that include:

GLB Reserves Embedded Derivatives

We use a hedging strategy designed to mitigate the risk and income statement volatility caused by changes in the equity markets, interest rates and volatility associated with GLBs offered in our variable annuity products, including products with GWB and GIB features.  The hedging strategy is designed such that changes in the value of the hedge contracts due to changes in equity markets, interest rates and implied volatilities move in the opposite direction of changes in embedded derivative GLB reserves caused by those same factors.We rebalance our hedge positions based upon changes in these factors as needed.  While we actively manage our hedge positions, these hedge positions may not be totally effective in offsetting changes in the embedded derivative reserve due to, among other things, differences in timing between when a market exposure changes and corresponding changes to the hedge positions, extreme swings in the equity markets and interest rates, market volatility, contract holder behavior, divergence between the performance of the underlying funds and the hedging indices, divergence between the actual and expected performance of the hedge instruments and our ability to purchase hedging instruments at prices consistent with our desired risk and return trade-off.  However, the hedging results do not impact LNL due to a funds withheld agreement with LNBAR, which causes the financial impact of the derivatives, as well as the cash flow activity, to be reflected on LNBAR.

Certain features of these guarantees have elements of both insurance benefits accounted for under the Financial Services – Insurance – Claim Costs and Liabilities for Future Policy Benefits Subtopic of the FASB ASC (“benefit reserves”) and embedded derivatives accounted for under the Derivatives and Hedging and the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topics of the FASB ASC (“embedded derivative reserves”).We calculate the value of the embedded derivative reserve and the benefit reserve based on the specific characteristics of each GLB feature.

Indexed Annuity and Indexed Universal Life Contracts Embedded Derivatives

We distribute indexed annuity and indexed universal life (“IUL”) contracts that permit the holder to elect an interest rate return or an equity market component, where interest credited to the contracts is linked to the performance of the S&P 500.  Contract holders may elect to rebalance index options at renewal dates, either annually or biannually.  As of each renewal date, we have the opportunity to re-price the indexed component by establishing participation rates, caps, spreads and specified rates, subject to contractual guarantees.  We purchase S&P 500 call options that are highly correlated to the portfolio allocation decisions of our contract holders, such that we are economically hedged with respect to equity returns for the current reset period.

Reinsurance Related Embedded Derivatives

We have certain Modco arrangements and CFW reinsurance arrangements with embedded derivatives related to the withheld assets of the related funds.  These derivatives are considered total return swaps with contractual returns that are attributable to various assets and liabilities associated with these reinsurance arrangements.

We are involved in an inter-company reinsurance agreement where we cede to LNBAR the risk under certain UL contracts for no lapse benefit guarantees.  If our contract holders’ account value is not sufficient to pay the cost of insurance charges required to keep the policy inforce, and the contract holder has made required deposits, LNBAR will reimburse us for the charges.

We have derivative instruments with off-balance-sheet risks whose notional or contract amounts exceed the related credit exposure.  Outstanding derivative instruments with off-balance-sheet risks (in millions) were as follows:

As of December 31, 2014, $19 million of the deferred net losses on derivative instruments in AOCI were expected to be reclassified to earnings during the next 12 months.  This reclassification would be due primarily to interest rate variances related to our interest rate swap agreements.

For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, there were no material reclassifications to earnings due to hedged firm commitments no longer deemed probable or due to hedged forecasted transactions that had not occurred by the end of the originally specified time period.

⁽⁵⁾ Sellers do not have the right to demand indemnification or compensation from third parties in case of a loss (payment) on the contract.

Details underlying the associated collateral of our open credit default swaps for which we are the seller if credit risk-related contingent features were triggered (in millions) were as follows:

Maximum potential payout	$	126	$	126
Less:  Counterparty thresholds		-		-
Maximum collateral potentially required to post	$	126	$	126

Certain of our credit default swap agreements contain contractual provisions that allow for the netting of collateral with our counterparties related to all of our collateralized financing transactions that we have outstanding.  If these netting agreements were not in place, we would have been required to post $3 million as of December 31, 2014, after considering the fair values of the associated investments and counterparties’ credit ratings as compared to ours and specified thresholds that once exceeded result in the payment of cash. 

Credit Risk

We are exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by our counterparties on various derivative contracts and reflect assumptions regarding the credit or NPR.  The NPR is based upon assumptions for each counterparty’s credit spread over the estimated weighted average life of the counterparty exposure less collateral held. As of December 31, 2014, the NPR adjustment was less than $1 million.  The credit risk associated with such agreements is minimized by entering into such agreements with financial institutions with long-standing, superior performance records.  Additionally, we maintain a policy of requiring derivative contracts to be governed by an International Swaps and Derivatives Association (“ISDA”) Master Agreement.  We are required to maintain minimum ratings as a matter of routine practice in negotiating ISDA agreements.  Under some ISDA agreements, our insurance subsidiaries have agreed to maintain certain financial strength or claims-paying ratings.  A downgrade below these levels could result in termination of derivative contracts, at which time any amounts payable by us would be dependent on the market value of the underlying derivative contracts.  In certain transactions, we and the counterparty have entered into a credit support annex requiring either party to post collateral when net exposures

40

exceed pre-determined thresholds.  These thresholds vary by counterparty and credit rating.  The amount of such exposure is essentially the net replacement cost or market value less collateral held for such agreements with each counterparty if the net market value is in our favor.  As of December 31, 2014, our exposure was $41 million.

The amounts recognized (in millions) by S&P credit rating of counterparty, for which we had the right to reclaim cash collateral or were obligated to return cash collateral, were as follows:

Although realization is not assured, management believes that it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefits of its deferred tax assets, and, accordingly, no valuation allowance has been recorded.

As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, $10 million and $64 million, respectively, of our unrecognized tax benefits presented below, if recognized, would have affected our income tax expense and our effective tax rate.  The Company is not aware of any events for which it is likely that unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease within the next year.  A reconciliation of the unrecognized tax benefits (in millions) was as follows:

We recognize interest and penalties accrued, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of tax expense.  For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, we recognized interest and penalty expense (benefit) related to uncertain tax positions of $(12) million, $2 million and $(78) million, respectively.  We had accrued interest and penalty expense related to the unrecognized tax benefits of $1 million and $13 million as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

The Company is subject to examination by U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. income authorities.  The Company is currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) for tax years 2009 through 2011.  The Company anticipates closing the current exam cycle in 2015.  Furthermore, LNC has filed a protest with the IRS Appeals division for tax years 2005 through 2008.  These years remain open as the Company works with Appeals to finalize the tax computations in these years.  All protested items have been resolved and we anticipate reaching a final settlement in 2015.  The Company does not expect any adjustments that would be material to its consolidated results of operations or its financial condition.

10.  Reinsurance

The following summarizes reinsurance amounts (in millions) recorded on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss), excluding amounts attributable to the indemnity reinsurance transaction with Swiss Re:

	For the Years Ended December 31,
	2014			2013			2012
Direct insurance premiums and fee income	$	8,880		$	7,833		$	7,185

Total insurance premiums and fee income	$	6,979		$	6,347		$	5,916
Direct insurance benefits	$	5,970		$	5,346		$	4,717
Reinsurance recoveries netted against benefits		(1,616	)		(1,733	)		(1,778	)
Total benefits	$	4,354		$	3,613		$	2,939

We cede insurance to other companies.  The portion of our life insurance and annuity risks exceeding our retention limit is reinsured with other insurers.  We seek reinsurance coverage to limit our exposure to mortality losses and to enhance our capital management. As discussed in Note 25, a portion of this reinsurance activity is with affiliated companies.

Under our reinsurance program, we reinsure approximately 25% of the mortality risk on newly issued life insurance contracts.  Our policy for this program is to retain no more than $20 million on a single insured life.  Portions of our deferred annuity business have been reinsured on a Modco basis with other companies to limit our exposure to interest rate risks.  As of December 31, 2014, the reserves associated with these reinsurance arrangements totaled $676 million.

Our amounts recoverable from reinsurers represent receivables from and reserves ceded to reinsurers.  The amounts recoverable from reinsurers were $6.9 billion and $7.1 billion as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.  We focus on obtaining reinsurance from a diverse group of reinsurers, and we monitor concentration as well as financial strength ratings of our reinsurers.  Our reinsurance operations were acquired by Swiss Re in December 2001 through a series of indemnity reinsurance transactions.  As such, Swiss Re reinsured certain of our liabilities and obligations under the indemnity reinsurance agreements and thereby represents our largest reinsurance exposure.  As we are not relieved of our liability to the ceding companies for this business, the liabilities and obligations associated with the reinsured policies remain on our Consolidated Balance Sheets with a corresponding reinsurance receivable from Swiss Re, which totaled $3.1 billion and $3.2 billion as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.  Swiss Re has funded a trust, with a balance of $2.6 billion as of December 31, 2014, to support this business.  In addition to various remedies that we would have in the event of a default by Swiss Re, we continue to hold assets in support of certain of the transferred reserves.  These assets consist of those reported as trading securities and certain mortgage loans.  Our liabilities for funds withheld and embedded derivatives as of December 31, 2014, included $1.3 billion and $128 million, respectively, related to the business sold to Swiss Re.

We recorded the gain related to the indemnity reinsurance transactions with Swiss Re as a deferred gain on business sold through reinsurance on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.  The deferred gain is being amortized into income at the rate that earnings on the reinsured business are expected to emerge, over a period of 15 years from the date of sale.  We amortized $48 million, after-tax, of deferred gain on business sold through reinsurance during each of 2014, 2013 and 2012.

Other Operations – Media			176			(176	)		-		-
Total goodwill		$	3,696		$	(1,423	)	$	-	$	2,273

We perform a Step 1 goodwill impairment analysis on all of our reporting units at least annually on October 1.  To determine the implied fair value for our reporting units, we utilize primarily a discounted cash flow valuation technique (“income approach”), although limited available market data is also considered.  In determining the estimated fair value, we consider discounted cash flow calculations, the level of LNC’s share price and assumptions that market participants would make in valuing the reportingunit.  This analysis requires us to make judgments about revenues, earnings projections, capital market assumptions and discount rates.

As of October 1, 2014 and 2013, our Annuities and Retirement Plan Services reporting units passed the Step 1 analysis.  Given the Step 1 results, we performed a Step 2 analysis for our Life Insurance and Group Protection reporting units.  Based upon our Step 2 analysis for Life Insurance and Group Protection, we determined that there was no impairment due to the implied fair value of goodwill being in excess of the carrying value of goodwill.

As of October 1, 2012,  our Annuities, Retirement Plan Services and Group Protection reporting units passed the Step 1 analysis, and although the carrying value of the net assets for Group Protection was within the estimated fair value range, we deemed it prudent to validate the carrying value of goodwill through a Step 2 analysis.  Given the Step 1 results, we also performed a Step 2 analysis for our Life Insurance reporting unit.  Based upon our Step 2 analysis for Life Insurance and Group Protection, we determined that there was no impairment due to the implied fair value of goodwill being in excess of the carrying value of goodwill.

Contingencies

Regulatory and Litigation Matters

Regulatory bodies, such as state insurance departments, the Securities and Exchange Commission, Financial Industry Regulatory Authority and other regulatory bodies regularly make inquiries and conduct examinations or investigations concerning our compliance with, among other things, insurance laws, securities laws, laws governing the activities of broker-dealers, registered investment advisors and unclaimed property laws. 

LNL and its subsidiaries are involved in various pending or threatened legal or regulatory proceedings, including purported class actions, arising from the conduct of business both in the ordinary course and otherwise.  In some of the matters, very large and/or indeterminate amounts, including punitive and treble damages, are sought.  Modern pleading practice in the U.S. permits considerable variation in the

assertion of monetary damages or other relief.  Jurisdictions may permit claimants not to specify the monetary damages sought or may permit claimants to state only that the amount sought is sufficient to invoke the jurisdiction of the trial court.  In addition, jurisdictions may permit plaintiffs to allege monetary damages in amounts well exceeding reasonably possible verdicts in the jurisdiction for similar matters.  This variability in pleadings, together with the actual experiences of LNL in litigating or resolving through settlement numerous claims over an extended period of time, demonstrates to management that the monetary relief which may be specified in a lawsuit or claim bears little relevance to its merits or disposition value.

Due to the unpredictable nature of litigation, the outcome of a litigation matter and the amount or range of potential loss at particular points in time is normally difficult to ascertain.  Uncertainties can include how fact finders will evaluate documentary evidence and the credibility and effectiveness of witness testimony, and how trial and appellate courts will apply the law in the context of the pleadings or evidence presented, whether by motion practice, or at trial or on appeal.  Disposition valuations are also subject to the uncertainty of how opposing parties and their counsel will themselves view the relevant evidence and applicable law.

We establish liabilities for litigation and regulatory loss contingencies when information related to the loss contingencies shows both that it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.  It is possible that some matters could require us to pay damages or make other expenditures or establish accruals in amounts that could not be estimated as of December 31, 2014.  While the potential future charges could be material in the particular quarterly or annual periods in which they are recorded, based on information currently known by management, management does not believe any such charges are likely to have a material adverse effect on LNL’s financial condition.

For some matters, the Company is able to estimate a reasonably possible range of loss.  For such matters in which a loss is probable, an accrual has been made.  For such matters where a loss is believed to be reasonably possible, but not probable, no accrual has been made.  Accordingly, the estimate contained in this paragraph reflects two types of matters.  For some matters included within this estimate, an accrual has been made, but there is a reasonable possibility that an exposure exists in excess of the amount accrued.  In these cases, the estimate reflects the reasonably possible range of loss in excess of the accrued amount.  For other matters included within this estimation, no accrual has been made because a loss, while potentially estimable, is believed to be reasonably possible but not probable.  In these cases, the estimate reflects the reasonably possible loss or range of loss.  As of December 31, 2014, LNC, LNL’s parent company, disclosed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC that it estimates the aggregate range of reasonably possible losses on a consolidated basis, including amounts in excess of amounts accrued for these matters as of such date, to be up to approximately $200million.

For other matters, we are not currently able to estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of loss.  We are often unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss until developments in such matters have provided sufficient information to support an assessment of the range of possible loss, such as quantification of a damage demand from plaintiffs, discovery from other parties and investigation of factual allegations, rulings by the court on motions or appeals, analysis by experts and the progress of settlement negotiations.  On a quarterly and annual basis, we review relevant information with respect to litigation contingencies and update our accruals, disclosures and estimates of reasonably possible losses or ranges of loss based on such reviews.  

On June 13, 2009, a single named plaintiff filed a putative national class action in the Circuit Court of Allen County (“Court”), Indiana, captioned Peter S. Bezich v. LNL, No. 02C01-0906-PL73, asserting he was charged a cost of insurance fee that exceeded the applicable mortality charge, and that this fee breached the terms of the insurance contract.  We dispute the allegations and are vigorously defending this matter.  Plaintiff petitioned the Court to certify a class action, on behalf of all persons who purchased or owned the relevant insurance product between 1999 and 2009, alleging that:  (i) LNL breached the contract by including non-mortality factors in cost of insurance rates; (ii) LNL breached the contract when it charged administrative expenses in excess of set amount; and (iii) LNL breached the contract by failing to adjust cost of insurance rates to reflect improving mortality expectations.  On June 12, 2014, the Court issued an Order denying certification on all of the Plaintiff’s counts and claims except with respect to a single legal issue:  whether the contract was breached as alleged in Count III.  However, any damages arising from this alleged breach would have to be tried on an individual case-by-case basis.  The appellate court granted permission for our interlocutory appeal of the Court’s certification of the single issue class.  The plaintiff has cross-appealed and both appeals are pending.

On July 23, 2012, LNL was added as a noteholder defendant to a putative class action adversary proceeding captioned Lehman Brothers Special Financing, Inc. v. Bank of America, N.A. et al., Adv. Pro. No. 10-03547 (JMP) and instituted under In re Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. in the United States Bankruptcy Court in the Southern District of New York.  Plaintiff Lehman Brothers Special Financing Inc. seeks to (i) overturn the application of certain priority of payment provisions in 47 CDO transactions on the basis such provisions are unenforceable under the Bankruptcy Code; and (ii) recover funds paid out to noteholders in accordance with the note agreements.  We are vigorously defending this matter. 

Commitments

Operating Leases

We lease our home office properties.  In 2006, we exercised the right and option to extend the Fort Wayne lease for two extended terms such that the lease shall expire in 2019.  We retain our right and option to exercise the remaining four extended terms of five years each in accordance with the lease agreement.  These agreements also provide us with the right of first refusal to purchase the properties at a price defined in the agreements and the option to purchase the leased properties at fair market value on the last day of any renewal period.  In 2012, we exercised the right and option to extend the Hartford lease for one extended term such that the lease shall expire in 2018. 

50

Total rental expense on operating leases for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, was $38 million,  $37 million and $36 million, respectively.  Future minimum rental commitments (in millions) as of December 31, 2014, were as follows:

2014	$	32
2015		29
2016		22
2017		15
2018		7
Thereafter		2
Total	$	107

Capital Leases

In December 2014, we entered into a five-year, sale-leaseback transaction on $83 million (net of amortization) of assets, which we have classified as a capital lease on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.  These assets will continue to be amortized on a straight-line basis over the assets’ remaining lives.  Total accumulated amortization related to these leased assets was $55 million as of December 31, 2014. As of December 31, 2013, we did not have any leased assets that met the criteria of a capital lease.  Future minimum lease payments under capital leases (in millions) as of December 31, 2014, were as follows:

2015	$	1
2016		1
2017		1
2018		1
2019		86
Total minimum lease payments		90
Less: Amount representing interest		7
Present value of minimum lease payments	$	83

Vulnerability from Concentrations

As of December 31, 2014, we did not have a concentration of:  business transactions with a particular customer or lender; sources of supply of labor or services used in the business; or a market or geographic area in which business is conducted that makes us vulnerable to an event that is at least reasonably possible to occur in the near term and which could cause a severe impact to our financial condition. 

Although we do not have any significant concentration of customers, our American Legacy Variable Annuity (“ALVA”) product offered in our Annuities segment is significant to this segment.  The ALVA product accounted for 20%,  17% and 19% of Annuities’ variable annuity product deposits in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and represented approximately 44%,  47% and 50% of the segment’s total variable annuity product account values as of December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  In addition, fund choices for certain of our other variable annuity products offered in our Annuities segment include American Fund Insurance SeriesSM (“AFIS”) funds.  For the Annuities segment, AFIS funds accounted for 22%, 19% and 21% of variable annuity product deposits in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and represented 50%,  54% and 58% of the segment’s total variable annuity product account values as of December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Other Contingency Matters

State guaranty funds assess insurance companies to cover losses to contract holders of insolvent or rehabilitated companies.  Mandatory assessments may be partially recovered through a reduction in future premium taxes in some states.  We have accrued for expected assessments and the related reductions in future state premium taxes, which net to assessments (recoveries) of $(17) million and $(7) million as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

18.  Pension, Postretirement Health Care and Life Insurance Benefit Plans

LNC and LNL maintain qualified funded defined benefit pension plans in which many of our employees and agents are participants.  LNC and LNL also maintain non-qualified, unfunded defined benefit pension plans for certain employees and agents.  In addition, for certain former employees we have supplemental retirement plans that provide defined benefit pension benefits in excess of limits imposed by federal tax law.  All of our defined benefit pension plans are frozenand there are no new participants and no future accruals of benefits from the date of the freeze.

LNC and LNL also sponsor a voluntary employees’ beneficiary association (“VEBA”) trust that provides postretirement medical, dental and life insurance benefits to retired full-time employees and agents who, depending on the plan, have worked for us for at least 10 years and attained age 55 (age 60 for agents).  VEBAs are a special type of tax-exempt trust used to provide benefits that are subject to preferential tax treatment under the Internal Revenue Code.  Medical and dental benefits are available to spouses and other eligible dependents of retired employees and agents.  Retirees may be required to contribute toward the cost of these benefits.  Eligibility and the amount of required contribution for these benefits varies based upon a variety of factors including years of service and year of retirement.

Expected return on plan assets		5.00%			6.50%			6.50%			6.50%

⁽¹⁾ Amounts for our U.S. pension plans represent general and administrative expenses.

Consistent with our benefit plans’ year end, we use December 31 as the measurement date.

The expected return on plan assets was determined based on historical and expected future returns of the various asset categories, using the plans’ target plan allocation.  We reevaluate this assumption each plan year.  For 2015, our expected return on plan assets will be5.00% forour pension plans. 

The discount rate was determined based on a corporate yield curve as of December 31, 2014, and projected benefit obligation cash flows for the pension plans.  We reevaluate this assumption each plan year.  For 2015, our discount rate will be 4.00% for our pension plans.

In October 2014, the Society of Actuaries published updated mortality tables that were incorporated into our assumptions, resulting in an increase in our pension plans benefit obligation of $7 million, pre-tax.

55

The calculation of the accumulated other postretirement benefit obligation assumes a weighted-average annual rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered benefits (i.e., health care cost trend rate) as follows: 

	As of or For the
	Years Ended December 31,
	2014	2013	2012
Pre-65 health care cost trend rate	8.00%	7.50%	8.00%
Post-65 health care cost trend rate	6.25%	7.50%	8.00%
Ultimate trend rate	4.50%	4.50%	4.50%
Year that the rate reaches the ultimate trend rate	2022	2020	2020

We expect the health care cost trend rate for 2015 to be 8.00% for the pre-65 populationand 6.25% forthe post-65 population.  A one percent increase in assumed health care cost trend rates would have increased the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation by $1 million and total service and interest cost components by less than $1 million.  A one percent decrease in assumed health care cost trend rates would have decreased the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation by $1 million and total service and interest cost components by less than $1 million.

Components of Net Periodic Benefit Cost

The components of net periodic benefit cost (in millions) for our pension and other postretirement plans were as follows:

	For the Years Ended December 31,
	2014			2013			2012			2014			2013			2012
	Pension Benefits									Other Postretirement Benefits
Interest cost	$	6		$	5		$	5		$	1		$	1		$	1

to curtailments		-			-			-			-			(1	)		-
Net periodic benefit cost (recovery)	$	3		$	(3	)	$	(3	)	$	-		$	-		$	1

We expect our 2015 pension plans’ net periodic benefit cost to be approximately $3 million. 

For 2015, the estimated amount of amortization from AOCI into net periodic benefit cost related to net actuarial loss or gain is expected to be a  $4 million loss for our pension plans and less than  a $1 millionloss for our other postretirement plans.

Plan Assets

Our pension plans’ asset target allocations by asset category based on estimated fair values were as follows:

	For the Years Ended
	December 31,
	2014	2013
Fixed maturity securities	100%	100%

The investment objectives for the assets related to our pension plans are to:

· Maintain sufficient liquidity to pay obligations of the plans as they come due;

· Minimize the effect of a single investment loss and large losses to the plans through prudent risk/reward diversification consistent with sound fiduciary standards;

· Maintain an appropriate asset allocation policy;

· Earn a return commensurate with the level of risk assumed through the asset allocation policy; and

· Control costs of administering and managing the plans’ investment operations.

56

Investments can be made in various asset classes and styles, including, but not limited to: domestic and international equity, fixed-income securities, derivatives and other asset classes the investment managers deem prudent.  Our plans follow a strategic assetallocation policy that strives to systemically increase the percentage of assets in liability-matching fixed-income investments as funding levels increase.

Our pension plans’ assets have been combined into a master retirement trust where a variety of qualified managers, including manager of managers, are expected to have returns that exceed the median of similar funds over three-year periods, above an appropriate index over five-year periods and meet real return standards over ten-year periods.  Managers are monitored for adherence to approved investment policy guidelines and managers not meeting these criteria are subject to additional due diligence review, corrective action or possible termination.

Fair Value of Plan Assets

See “Fair Value Measurement” in Note 1 for discussion of how we categorize our pension plans’ assets into the three-level fair value hierarchy.  See “Financial Instruments Carried at Fair Value” in Note 22 for a summary of our fair value measurements of our pension plans’ assets by the three-level fair value hierarchy. 

The following summarizes our fair value measurements of benefit plans’ assets (in millions) on a recurring basis by asset category:

	As of December 31,
	2014		2013		2014		2013

Valuation Methodologies and Associated Inputs for Pension Plans’ Assets

The fair value measurements of our pension plans’ assets are based on assumptions used by market participants in pricing the security.  The most appropriate valuation methodology is selected based on the specific characteristics of the security, and the valuation methodology is consistently applied to measure the security’s fair value.  The fair value measurement is based on a market approach, which utilizes prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable securities.  Sources of inputs to the market approach include third-party pricing services, independent broker quotations or pricing matrices.  Both observable and unobservable inputs are used in the valuation methodologies.  Observable inputs include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers and reference data.  In addition, market indicators, industry and economic events are monitored and further market data is acquired if certain triggers are met.  For certain security types, additional inputs may be used, or some of the inputs described above may not be applicable.  For broker-quoted only securities, quotes from market makers or broker dealers are obtained from sources recognized to be market participants.  In order to validate the pricing information and broker quotes, procedures are employed, where possible, that include comparisons with similar observable positions, comparisons with subsequent sales, discussions with brokers and observations of general market movements for those security classes.  For those securities trading in less liquid or illiquid markets with limited or no pricing information, unobservable inputs are used in order to measure the fair value of these securities.  In cases where this information is not available, such as for privately placed securities, fair value is estimated using an internal pricing matrix.  This matrix relies on judgment concerning the discount rate used in calculating expected future cash flows, credit quality, industry sector performance and expected maturity.

Prices received from third parties are not adjusted; however, the third-party pricing services’ valuation methodologies and related inputs are evaluated and additional evaluation is performed to determine the appropriate level within the fair value hierarchy.

The observable and unobservable inputs to the valuation methodologies are based on general standard inputs.  The standard inputs used in order of priority are benchmark yields, reported trades, broker quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers and reference data.  Depending on the type of security or the daily market activity, standard inputs may be prioritized differently or may not be available for all securities on any given day. 

Cash and invested cash is carried at cost, which approximates fair value.  This category includes highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less.  Due to the nature of these assets, we believe these assets should be classified as Level 2.

57

Plan Cash Flows

It is our practice to make contributions to our qualified pension plans to comply with minimum funding requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended and with guidance issued there under. We do not expect to be required to make any contributions to these plans in 2015.

For our nonqualified pension and other postretirement benefit plans, we fund benefits as they become due to retirees.  The amount expected to be contributed to the plans during 2015 is less than $1 million and $2 million, respectively.

We expect the following benefit payments (in millions):

	Defined		Other
	Benefit		Post-

19.  Defined Contribution and Deferred Compensation Plans

Defined Contribution Plans

LNC and LNL sponsor defined contribution plans, which include 401(k) and money purchase plans, for eligible employees and agents.  We make contributions and matching contributions to each of the active plans in accordance with the plan documents and various limitations under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.  For the years ended December 31, 2014,  2013 and 2012, expenses for these plans were$75 million, $70 million and $68 million, respectively. 

Deferred Compensation Plans

LNC and LNL sponsor six separate non-qualified, unfunded, deferred compensation plans for employees, agents and non-employee directors.

The results for certain investment options within the plans are hedged by total return swaps.  Participants’ account values change due primarily to investment earnings driven by market fluctuations.  Our expenses increase or decrease in direct proportion to the change in market value of the participants’ investment options.  Participants are able to select our stock as an investment option; however, it is not hedged by the total return swaps and is a primary source of expense volatility related to these plans.  For further discussion of total return swaps related to our deferred compensation plans, see Note 7.

Information (in millions) with respect to these plans was as follows:

	As of December 31,
	2014		2013
Total liabilities (1)	$	423	$	398
Investments held to fund liabilities (2)		160		166

⁽¹⁾ Reported in other liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Deferred Compensation Plan for Employees

Participants may elect to defer a portion of their compensation as defined by the plan.  Participants may select from prescribed “phantom” investment options that are used as measures for calculating the returns that are notionally credited to their accounts.  Under the terms of the plan, we agree to pay out amounts based upon the aggregate performance of the investment measures selected by the participants.  We make matching contributions based upon amounts placed into the plan by individuals after participants have exceeded

58

applicable limits of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to 401(k) plans.  The amount of our contribution is calculated in accordance with the plan document.  Expenses (in millions) for this plan were as follows:

	For the Years Ended December 31,
	2014		2013		2012
Company matching contributions	$	10	$	9	$	7
Increase (decrease) in measurement of
liabilities, net of total return swap		5		11		11
Total	$	15	$	20	$	18

Deferred Compensation Plans for Agents

We sponsor three deferred compensation plans for certain eligible agents.  Participants may elect to defer a portion of their compensation as defined by the respective plan.  Participants may select from prescribed “phantom” investment options that are used as measures for calculating the returns that are notionally credited to their accounts.  Under the terms of these plans, we agree to pay out amounts based upon the aggregate performance of the investment measures selected by the participants.  We make matching contributions based upon amounts placed into the plans by individuals after participants have exceeded applicable limits of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to 401(k) plans.  The amounts of our contributions are calculated in accordance with the plans’ documents.  Expenses (in millions) for these plans were as follows:

	For the Years Ended December 31,
	2014		2013		2012
Company matching contributions	$	2	$	1	$	1
Increase (decrease) in measurement of
liabilities, net of total return swap		2		4		5
Total	$	4	$	5	$	6

Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors of LNC

Non-employee directors may defer a portion of their annual cash retainers as defined by the plan.  They also receive a portion of their retainer in the form of deferred stock units, which we credit quarterly in arrears to their accounts.  The prescribed “phantom” investment options are identical to those offered in the employees’ deferred compensation plan.  For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, expenses (income) for this plan wereless than $(1) million, less than $1 million and $2 million, respectively. 

Deferred Compensation Plan for Former JP Agents

Eligible former agents of JP may defer a portion of their commissions and bonuses as defined by the plan.  Participants may select from “phantom” investment options that are used as measures for calculating the returns that are notionally credited to their accounts.  For the years ended December 31, 2014,  2013 and 2012, expenses for this plan were $2 million, $2 million and $3 million, respectively.

20.  Stock-Based Incentive Compensation Plans

Our employees and agents are included in LNC’s various incentive plans that provide for the issuance of stock options, performance shares (performance-vested shares as opposed to time-vested shares), stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) and restricted stock units (“RSUs”).  LNC issues new shares to satisfy option exercises.

Total compensation expense (in millions) for all of our stock-based incentive plans was as follows:

	For the Years Ended December 31,
	2014		2013		2012
Stock options	$	9	$	8	$	8
Performance shares		12		10		5
SARs		2		5		1
RSUs and nonvested stock		15		15		17
Total	$	38	$	38	$	31
Recognized tax benefit	$	13	$	13	$	11

21.  Statutory Information and Restrictions

We prepare financial statements in accordance with statutory accounting principles (“SAP”) prescribed or permitted by the insurance departments of our states of domicile, which may vary materially from GAAP.

Prescribed SAP includes the Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (“NAIC”) as well as state laws, regulations and administrative rules.  Permitted SAP encompasses all accounting practices not so prescribed.  The principal differences between statutory financial statements and financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP are that statutory financial statements do not reflect DAC, some bond portfolios may be carried at amortized cost, assets and liabilities are presented net of reinsurance, contract holder liabilities are generally valued using more conservative assumptions and certain assets are non-admitted.

We are subject to the applicable laws and regulations of our states of domicile.  Changes in these laws and regulations could change capital levels or capital requirements for the Company.

Statutory capital and surplus, net gain (loss) from operations, after-tax, net income (loss) and dividends to the LNC holding company amounts (in millions) below consist of all or a combination of the following entities:  LNL, Lincoln Reinsurance Company of South Carolina, LLANY, Lincoln Reinsurance Company of Vermont I, LRCVII, Lincoln Reinsurance Company of Vermont III, Lincoln Reinsurance Company of Vermont IV and Lincoln Reinsurance Company of Vermont V.

	As of December 31,
	2014		2013
U.S. capital and surplus	$	7,991	$	7,248

	For the Years Ended December 31,
	2014		2013		2012
U.S. net gain (loss) from operations, after-tax	$	1,170	$	425	$	649
U.S. net income (loss)		1,401		495		600
U.S. dividends to LNC holding company		705		640		605

The increase in statutory net income (loss) when comparing 2014 to 2013 was due primarily to the recapture of certain traditional and interest sensitive business under several yearly renewable term reinsurance treaties that were originally ceded to a reinsurer, a change in estimate on reserves for certain products and a lower effective tax rate due to the use of tax credit carryforwards.

The decrease in statutory net income (loss) when comparing 2013 to 2012 was due primarily to the effects of reserve financing transactions in 2013.

Our states of domicile, Indiana for LNL and New York for LLANY,  have adopted certain prescribed accounting practices that differ from those found in NAIC SAP.  These prescribed practices are the use of continuous Commissioners Annuity Reserve Valuation Method (“CARVM”) in the calculation of reserves as prescribed by the state of New York, the calculation of reserves on universal life policies based on the Indiana universal life method as prescribed by the state of Indiana for policies issued before January 1, 2006, and the use of a more conservative valuation interest rate on certain annuities prescribed by the states of Indiana and New York.  The Vermont insurance subsidiaries also have an accounting practice permitted by the state of Vermont that differs from that found in NAIC SAP.  Specifically, the permitted practice involves accounting for the lesser of the face amount of all amounts outstanding under an LOC and the value of the Valuation of Life Insurance Policies Model Regulation (“XXX”) additional statutory reserves as an admitted asset and a form of surplus as of December 31, 2014 and 2013.

The favorable (unfavorable) effects on statutory surplus compared to NAIC statutory surplus from the use of these prescribed and permitted practices (in millions) were as follows:

	As of December 31,
	2014			2013
Calculation of reserves using the Indiana universal life method	$	140		$	219
Calculation of reserves using continuous CARVM		(1	)		(2	)
Conservative valuation rate on certain annuities		(39	)		(30	)
Lesser of LOC and XXX additional reserve as surplus		2,751			2,635

During the third quarter of 2013, the New York State Department of Financial Services (“NYDFS”) announced that it would not recognize the NAIC revisions to Actuarial Guideline 38 in applying the New York law governing the reserves to be held for UL and VUL products containing secondary guarantees.  The change, effective December 31, 2013, impacts our New York-domiciled insurance subsidiary, LLANY.  LLANY discontinued the sale of these products in early 2013, but the change affects those policies sold prior to that time.  We  began phasing in the increase in reserves over five years beginning in 2013.  As of December 31, 2014, we have increased

60

reserves by $180 million.  The additional increase in reserves over the next three years is subject to ongoing discussions with the NYDFS.  However, we do not expect the amount for each of the remaining years to exceed $90 million per year.

The NAIC has adopted risk-based capital (“RBC”) requirements for life insurance companies to evaluate the adequacy of statutory capital and surplus in relation to investment and insurance risks.  The requirements provide a means of measuring the minimum amount of statutory surplus appropriate for an insurance company to support its overall business operations based on its size and risk profile.  Under RBC requirements, regulatory compliance is determined by the ratio of a company’s total adjusted capital, as defined by the NAIC, to its company action level of RBC (known as the “RBC ratio”), also as defined by the NAIC.  The company action level may be triggered if the RBC ratio is between 75% and 100%, which would require the insurer to submit a plan to the regulator detailing corrective action it proposes to undertake.  As of December 31, 2014, the Company’s RBC ratio was approximately fivetimes the aforementioned company action level.

We are subject to certain insurance department regulatory restrictions as to the transfer of funds and payment of dividends to the holding company.  Under Indiana laws and regulations, LNL may pay dividends to LNC without prior approval of the Commissioner, only from unassigned surplus and must receive prior approval of the Commissioner to pay a dividend if such dividend, along with all other dividends paid within the preceding 12 consecutive months, would exceed the statutory limitation.  The current statutory limitation is the greater of 10% of the insurer’s contract holders’ surplus, as shown on its last annual statement on file with the Commissioner or the insurer’s statutory net gain from operations for the previous 12 months, but in no event to exceed statutory unassigned surplus.  Indiana law gives the Commissioner broad discretion to disapprove requests for dividends in excess of these limits.  LNL’s subsidiary, LLANY, a New York domiciled insurance company, has similar restrictions, except that in New York it is the lesser of 10% of surplus to contract holders as of the immediately preceding calendar year or net gain from operations for the immediately preceding calendar year, not including realized capital gains.  We expect that we could pay dividends of approximately $1.3billion in 2015 without prior approval from the respective state commissioner.

All payments of principal and interest on surplus notes must be approved by the respective Commissioner of Insurance.

Valuation Methodologies and Associated Inputs for Financial Instruments Not Carried at Fair Value

The following discussion outlines the methodologies and assumptions used to determine the fair value of our financial instruments not carried at fair value on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.  Considerable judgment is required to develop these assumptions used to measure fair value.  Accordingly, the estimates shown are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that would be realized in a one-time, current market exchange of all of our financial instruments.

Mortgage Loans on Real Estate

The fair value of mortgage loans on real estate is established using a discounted cash flow method based on credit rating, maturity and future income.  The ratings for mortgages in good standing are based on property type, location, market conditions, occupancy, debt-service coverage, loan-to-value, quality of tenancy, borrower and payment record.  The fair value for impaired mortgage loans is based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s market price or the fair value of

62

the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.  The inputs used to measure the fair value of our mortgage loans on real estate are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

Other Investments

The carrying value of our assets classified as other investments approximates fair value.  Other investments includes primarily LPs and other privately held investments that are accounted for using the equity method of accounting and the carrying value is based on our proportional share of the net assets of the LPs.  The inputs used to measure the fair value of our LPs and other privately held investments are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.  Other investments also includes securities that are not LPs or other privately held investments and the inputs used to measure the fair  value of these securities are classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.

Other Contract Holder Funds

Other contract holder funds include remaining guaranteed interest and similar contracts and account values of certain investment contracts.  The fair value for the remaining guaranteed interest and similar contracts is estimated using discounted cash flow calculations as of the balance sheet date.  These calculations are based on interest rates currently offered on similar contracts with maturities that are consistent with those remaining for the contracts being valued.  As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the remaining guaranteed interest and similar contracts carrying value approximated fair value.  The fair value of the account values of certain investment contracts is based on their approximate surrender value as of the balance sheet date.  The inputs used to measure the fair value of our other contract holder funds are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.

Short-Term and Long-Term Debt

The fair value of long-term debt is based on quoted market prices.  For short-term debt, excluding current maturities of long-term debt, the carrying value approximates fair value.  The inputs used to measure the fair value of our short-term and long-term debt are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.   

Financial Instruments Carried at Fair Value

We did not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of December 31, 2014 or 2013, and we noted no changes in our valuation methodologies between these periods.

Transfers into and out of Level 3 are generally the result of observable market information on a security no longer being available or becoming available to our pricing vendors.  For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012transfers in and out were attributable primarily to the securities’ observable market information no longer being available or becoming available.  Transfers in and out for GLB reserves embedded derivatives represent reclassifications between future contract benefits and other assets or other liabilities.  Transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2 are generally the result of a change in the type of input used to measure the fair value of an asset or liability at the end of the reporting period.  When quoted prices in active markets become available, transfers from Level 2 to Level 1 will result.  When quoted prices in active markets become unavailable, but we are able to employ a valuation methodology using significant observable inputs, transfers from Level 1 to Level 2 will result.  For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 the transfers between Levels 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy were less than $1 million for our financial instruments carried at fair value.

The following summarizes the fair value (in millions), valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs of the Level 3 fair value measurements as of December 31, 2014:

⁽¹⁾ The liquidity/duration adjustment input represents an estimated market participant composite of adjustments attributable to liquidity premiums, expected durations, structures and credit quality that would be applied to the market observable information of an investment.

⁽²⁾ The lapse rate input represents the estimated probability of a contract surrendering during a year, and thereby forgoing any future benefits.  The range for indexed annuity and IUL contracts represents the lapse rates during the surrender charge period.

⁽³⁾ The utilization of guaranteed withdrawals input represents the estimated percentage of contract holders that utilize the guaranteed withdrawal feature.

⁽⁴⁾ The utilization factors are applied to the present value of claims or premiums, as appropriate, in the GLB reserve calculation to estimate the impact of inefficient withdrawal behavior, including taking less than or more than the maximum guaranteed withdrawal.

⁽⁵⁾ The NPR input represents the estimated additional credit spread that market participants would apply to the market observable discount rate when pricing a contract.

⁽⁶⁾ The mortality rate input represents the estimated probability of when an individual belonging to a particular group, categorized according to age or some other factor such as gender, will die.

⁽⁷⁾ The volatility input represents overall volatilities assumed for the underlying variable annuity funds, which include a mixture of equity and fixed-income assets.  Fair value of the variable annuity GLB embedded derivatives would increase if higher volatilities were used for valuation.

⁽⁸⁾ The mortality rate is based on a combination of company and industry experience, adjusted for improvement factors.

⁽⁹⁾ Based on the “Annuity 2000 Mortality Table” developed by the Society of Actuaries Committee on Life Insurance Research that was adopted by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners in 1996 for our mortality input.

From the table above, we have excluded Level 3 fair value measurements obtained from independent, third-party pricing sources.  We do not develop the significant inputs used to measure the fair value of these assets and liabilities, and the information regarding the significant inputs is not readily available to us.  Independent broker-quoted fair values are non-binding quotes developed by market

72

makers or broker-dealers obtained from third-party sources recognized as market participants.  The fair value of a broker-quoted asset or liability is based solely on the receipt of an updated quote from a single market maker or a broker-dealer recognized as a market participant as we do not adjust broker quotes when used as the fair value measurement for an asset or liability.  Significant increases or decreases in any of the quotes received from a third-party broker-dealer may result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. 

Changes in any of the significant inputs presented in the table above may result in a significant change in the fair value measurement of the asset or liability as follows:

· Investments – An increase in the liquidity/duration adjustment input would result in a decrease in the fair value measurement. 

· Indexed annuity and IUL contracts embedded derivatives – An increase in the lapse rate or mortality rate inputs would result in a decrease in the fair value measurement. 

· GLB reserves embedded derivatives –  Assuming our GLB reserves embedded derivatives are in a liability position:  an increase in our lapse rate, NPR or mortality rate inputs would result in a decrease in the fair value measurement; and an increase in the utilization of guarantee withdrawal or volatility inputs would result in an increase in the fair value measurement.

For each category discussed above, the unobservable inputs are not inter-related; therefore, a directional change in one input will not affect the other inputs. 

As part of our ongoing valuation process, we assess the reasonableness of our valuation techniques or models and make adjustments as necessary.  For more information, see “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” above.

23.  Segment Information

We provide products and services and report results through our Annuities, Retirement Plan Services, Life Insurance and Group Protection segments.  We also have Other Operations, which includes the financial data for operations that are not directly related to the business segments.  Our reporting segments reflect the manner by which our chief operating decision makers view and manage the business.  The following is a brief description of these segments and Other Operations.

The Annuities segment provides tax-deferred investment growth and lifetime income opportunities for its clients by offering fixed (including indexed) and variable annuities.

The Retirement Plan Services segment provides employer-sponsored defined benefit and individual retirement accounts, as well as individual and group variable annuities, group fixed annuities and mutual-fund based programs in the retirement plan marketplace.

The Life Insurance segment focuses in the creation and protection of wealth through life insurance products, including term insurance, a linked-benefit product (which is a UL policy linked with riders that provide for long-term care costs), IUL and both single and survivorship versions of UL and VUL, including corporate-owned UL and VUL insurance and bank-owned UL and VUL insurance products.

The Group Protection segment offers principally group non-medical insurance products, including term life, universal life, disability, dental, vision, accident and critical illness insurance to the employer market place through various forms of contributory and non-contributory plans.  Its products are marketed primarily through a national distribution system of regional group offices.  These offices develop business through employee benefit brokers, third-party administrators and other employee benefit firms.

Other Operations includes investments related to our excess capital; investments in media properties (see Note 3 for more information) and other corporate investments; benefit plan net liability; the unamortized deferred gain on indemnity reinsurance related to the sale of reinsurance; the results of certain disability income business; our run-off Institutional Pension business, the majority of which was sold on a group annuity basis; and debt costs.

Segment operating revenues and income (loss) from operations are internal measures used by our management and Board of Directors to evaluate and assess the results of our segments.  Income (loss) from operations is GAAP net income excluding the after-tax effects of the following items, as applicable:

· Realized gains and losses associated with the following (“excluded realized gain (loss)”):

§ Sales or disposals and impairments of securities;  

§ Changes in the fair value of derivatives, embedded derivatives within certain reinsurance arrangements and trading securities;

§ Changes in the fair value of the derivatives we own to hedge our GDB riders within our variable annuities;

§ Changes in the fair value of the embedded derivatives of our GLB riders accounted for at fair value, net of the change in the fair value of the derivatives we own to hedge them; and

§ Changes in the fair value of the embedded derivative liabilities related to index call options we may purchase in the future to hedge contract holder index allocations applicable to future reset periods for our indexed annuity products accounted for at fair value;

· Changes in reserves resulting from benefit ratio unlocking on our GDB and GLB riders;

· Income (loss) from reserve changes, net of related amortization, on business sold through reinsurance;

73

· Gains (losses) on early extinguishment of debt;

· Losses from the impairment of intangible assets;

· Income (loss) from discontinued operations; and

· Income (loss) from the initial adoption of new accounting standards.

Operating revenues represent GAAP revenues excluding the pre-tax effects of the following items, as applicable:

· Excluded realized gain (loss);

· Revenue adjustments from the initial adoption of new accounting standards;

· Amortization of DFEL arising from changes in GDB and GLB benefit ratio unlocking; and

· Amortization of deferred gains arising from reserve changes on business sold through reinsurance.

We use our prevailing corporate federal income tax rate of 35% while taking into account any permanent differences for events recognized differently in our financial statements and federal income tax returns when reconciling our non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measure.  Operating revenues and income (loss) from operations do not replace revenues and net income as the GAAP measures of our consolidated results of operations.

Bonds

LNC issues bonds to us for a predetermined face value to be repaid by LNC at a predetermined maturity with a specified interest rate. 

Cash Management Agreement

In order to manage our capital more efficiently, we participate in an inter-company cash management program where LNC can lend to or borrow from us to meet short-term borrowing needs.  The cash management program is essentially a series of demand loans, which are permitted under applicable insurance laws, among LNC and its affiliates that reduces overall borrowing costs by allowing LNC and its subsidiaries to access internal resources instead of incurring third-party transaction costs.  The borrowing and lending limit is currently 3% of our admitted assets as of our most recent year end.

Service Agreement

In accordance with service agreements with LNC and other subsidiaries of LNC for personnel and facilities usage, general management services and investment management services, we receive services from and provide services to affiliated companies and receive an allocation of corporate overhead.  Corporate overhead expenses are allocated based on specific methodologies for each function.  The majority of the expenses are allocated based on the following methodologies:  headcount, capital, investments by product, weighted policies in force, and sales. 

Fees for Management of General Account

Effective January 1, 2012, LNL entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with Lincoln Investment Management Company (“LIMCO”), also a wholly-owned subsidiary of LNC.  LIMCO provides investment advisory services to LNL and enters into sub-advisory agreements with other third-party investment advisers.

Ceded Reinsurance Contracts

As discussed in Note 10, we cede insurance contracts to and assume insurance contracts from affiliated companies.  We cede certain guaranteed benefit risks (including certain GDB and GWB benefits) to LNBAR.  As discussed in Note 7, we cede the GLB reserves embedded derivatives and the related hedge results to LNBAR.  As discussed in Note 4, we also cede the risks for no-lapse benefit guarantees under certain UL contracts to LNBAR. 

Substantially all reinsurance ceded to affiliated companies is with unauthorized companies.  To take reserve credit for such reinsurance, we hold assets from the reinsurer, including funds held under reinsurance treaties, and are the beneficiary of LOCs aggregating to $186 million and $651 million as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.  The LOCs are obtained by the affiliate reinsurer and issued by banks in order for the Company to recognize the reserve credit.

26.  Subsequent Events

On March 16, 2015, LNL paid a cash dividend in the amount of $400 million to LNC.

Investments in the Funds are stated at fair value as determined by the closing net asset value per share on December 31, 2014. The difference between cost and net asset value is reflected as unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments.

The Variable Account's investments in the Funds are valued in accordance with the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure Topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (Topic). The Topic defines fair value as the price that the Variable Account would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Topic also establishes a framework for measuring fair value and a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an

asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity's own assessment regarding the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The Variable Account's investments in the Funds are assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

Level 1 - inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices in active markets

Level 2 - inputs to the valuation methodology are observable, directly or indirectly

Level 3 - inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and reflect assumptions on the part of the reporting entity

The Variable Account's investments in the Funds are valued within the fair value hierarchy as Level 2. Net asset value is quoted by the Funds as derived by the fair value of the Funds' underlying investments. The Funds are not considered Level 1 as they are not traded in the open market; rather the Company sells and redeems shares at net asset value with the Funds.

Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade-date basis. The cost of investments sold is determined by the average cost method.

ASU 2013-08, Amendments to the Scope, Measurement, and Disclosure Requirements (Topic 946, Investment Companies) provides accounting guidance for assessing whether an entity is an investment company; considering the entity's purpose and design to determine whether the entity is an investment company. The standard also adds additional disclosure requirements regarding contractually required commitments to investees. Management has evaluated the criteria in the standard and concluded that the Variable Account qualifies as an investment company and therefore will continue to apply the accounting requirements of ASC 946. The adoption of this ASU did not have an effect on our financial condition and results of operations

Dividends: Dividends paid to the Variable Account are automatically reinvested in shares of the Funds on the payable date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Federal Income Taxes: Operations of the Variable Account form a part of and are taxed with operations of the Company, which is taxed as a "life insurance company" under the Internal Revenue Code. The Variable Account will not be taxed as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended. Under current federal income tax law, no federal income taxes are payable or receivable with respect to the Variable Account's net investment income and the net realized gain (loss) on investments.

Annuity Reserves: Reserves on contracts not involving life contingencies are calculated using an assumed investment return of 3%, 4%, 5% or 6%, as approved in each state. Reserves on contracts involving life contingencies are calculated using a modification of the 1983a Individual Mortality Table and an assumed investment return of 3%, 4%, 5% or 6%, as approved in each state.

Investment Fund Changes: During 2013, the following funds became available as investment options for account contract owners. Accordingly, for the subaccounts that commenced operations during 2013, the 2013 statements of changes in net assets and total return and investment income ratios in note 3 are for the period from the commencement of operations to December 31, 2013:

2. Mortality and Expense Guarantees and Other Transactions with Affiliates (continued)

During May, 2013, the fund replacements listed below occurred in certain products. The replacement funds have higher fund expenses than the funds they replaced, so the Company enacted a mortality and expense guarantee (M&E) reduction to ensure that overall fund expenses were the same after the replacement. The M&E reduction will last for a period of two years. The fund replacements were as follows:

Previous Fund Name	Replacement Fund Name	M&E Reduction
ABVPSF International Value Class B Portfolio	LVIP Mondrian International Value Service Class Fund		0.02	%
American Century VP Inflation Protection Class II Fund	LVIP BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond Service Class Fund		0.06	%

In addition, $342,291,315 and $258,512,077 was retained by the Company for contract charges and surrender charges during 2014 and 2013, respectively.

For the Lincoln ChoicePlus Assurance A Share, Lincoln ChoicePlus Assurance A Share Fee-Based and Lincoln ChoicePlus Assurance A Class products, a front-end load or sales charge is applied as a percentage (5.75% maximum) to all gross purchase payments. For the Lincoln ChoicePlus Fusion product, a premium based charge or sales charge is applied on a quarterly basis over a seven year period as a percentage (.175% maximum per quarter) of all purchase payments received.

(1)  Reflects less than a full year of activity. Funds were first received in this option on the commencement date noted or the option was inactive at the date funds were received thereby a succeeding commencement date is disclosed.

(2)  These amounts represent the annualized minimum and maximum contract expenses of the separate account, consisting primarily of mortality and expense charges, for each period indicated. The ratios include only those expenses that result in a direct reduction to unit values. Charges made directly to contract owner accounts through the redemption of units and expenses of the underlying funds have been excluded.

(3)  As the unit value is presented as a range of minimum to maximum values for only those subaccounts which existed for the entire year, some individual contract unit values may not be within the ranges presented as a result of partial year activity.

(4)  These amounts represent the total return, including changes in value of mutual funds, and reflect deductions for all items included in the fee rate. The total return does not include contract charges deducted directly from policy account values. The total return is not annualized. As the total return is presented as a range of minimum to

maximum values, for only those subaccounts which existed for the entire year, some individual contract total returns may not be within the ranges presented as a result of partial year activity.

(5)  These amounts represent the dividends, excluding distributions of capital gains, received by the subaccount from the underlying mutual fund, net of management fees assessed by the fund manager, divided by the average net assets. These ratios exclude those expenses, such as mortality and expense guarantee charges, that result in direct reductions in the unit values. The recognition of investment income by the subaccount is affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the underlying fund in which the subaccounts invest. Investment income ratios are not annualized.

Note: Fee rate, unit value and total return minimum and maximum are the same where there is only one active contract level charge for the subaccount.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Board of Directors of The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company
and

Contract Owners of Lincoln Life Variable Annuity Account N

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Lincoln Life Variable Annuity Account N ("Variable Account"), comprised of the subaccounts described in Note 1, as of December 31, 2014, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended and the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, or for those sub-accounts operating for portions of such periods as disclosed in the financial statements. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Variable Account's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Variable Account's internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Variable Account's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of investments owned as of December 31, 2014, by correspondence with the fund companies, or their transfer agent, as applicable. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the respective subaccounts constituting Lincoln Life Variable Annuity Account N at December 31, 2014, and the results of their operations and the changes in their net assets for the periods described above, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Item 28. Indemnification

a) Brief description of indemnification provisions.

In general, Article VII of the By-Laws of The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (Lincoln Life or Company) provides that Lincoln Life will indemnify certain persons against expenses, judgments and certain other specified costs incurred by any such person if he/she is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to a suit or proceeding because he/she was a director, officer, or employee of Lincoln Life, as long as he/she acted in good faith and in a manner he/she reasonably believed to be in the best interests of, or act opposed to the best interests of, Lincoln Life. Certain additional conditions apply to indemnification in criminal proceedings.

In particular, separate conditions govern indemnification of directors, officers, and employees of Lincoln Life in connection with suits by, or in the right of, Lincoln Life.

Please refer to Article VII of the By-Laws of Lincoln Life (Exhibit no. 6(b) hereto) for the full text of the indemnification provisions. Indemnification is permitted by, and is subject to the requirements of, Indiana law.

b) Undertaking pursuant to Rule 484 of Regulation C under the Securities Act of 1933:

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the provisions described in Item 28(a) above or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 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 director, officer, or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any such action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
