Supplement Dated December 22, 2010
To the Product Prospectuses dated May 1, 2010 for:


Lincoln VULONE2007


This supplement outlines changes to the prospectus for Lincoln VULONE2007 dated May 1, 2010.  These changes described below are applicable to all current policyowners and are not optional.  This supplement is for informational purposes and requires no action on your part.  Please also note that certain terms used in this supplement are defined within the sentences where they appear in the relevant provisions of the prospectus or in the prospectus Glossary.


A. Overview of the changes to the prospectus:

The Surrender Charge shown for a Representative Insured shown in the Surrender Charge disclosure in “Table I: Transaction Fees”, in the Charges and Fees section of the “POLICY SUMMARY” provision has been changed. The Surrender Charge for the male Representative Insured has been changed from “$27.52 per $1000 of specified amount” to “$27.25 per $1000 of specified amount.”

The change noted above has resulted in changes in the numerical values in some of the representative calculations and tables included in the prospectus, dated May 1, 2010.  The tables, calculations and the sentences in which these numerical changes occur, including Appendix A, are set out below.

Please refer to the May 1, 2010 prospectus for a discussion of all other provisions of your policy that are not discussed in this supplement.


The prospectus dated May 1, 2010 is being amended as follows (in order of how these respective sections appear in the prospectus):



B. Changes to “Charges and Fees” (under “POLICY SUMMARY”, sub-section “Charges and Fees”):

“Table I: Transaction Fees” and its footnotes are deleted in their entirety and replaced by the following “Table I: Transaction Fees”, containing the amended “Charge for a Representative Insured” under the “Surrender Charge” section:

Charge
When Charge is Deducted
Amount Deducted
Maximum sales charge imposed on premiums (Premium Load) (Average of 3.0% of this Charge is used for state and federal tax obligations)
When you pay a premium.
7.0% of each premium payment in policy years 1-20 and 4.0% in policy years 21 and later.1
Surrender Charge*2
For up to 15 years from the Policy Date and up to 15 years from the effective date of each increase in specified amount, a Surrender Charge will be deducted at the time you effect a Full Surrender of your policy.  For up to 10 years from the Policy Date or up to 10 years from the effective date of each increase in specified amount, a Surrender Charge will be deducted at the time you effect a Reduction in Specified Amount.
 
 
      Maximum Charge
 
$60.00 per $1,000 of specified amount.
      Minimum Charge
 
$0.00 per $1,000 of specified amount.
      Charge for a
      Representative Insured
 
For a male, age 45, standard non-tobacco, in year one the maximum Surrender Charge is $27.25 per $1,000 of specified amount.
Transfer Fee
Applied to any transfer request in excess of 24 made during any policy year.
$25

* These charges and costs vary based on individual characteristics. The charges and costs shown in the table may not be representative of the charges and costs that a particular policy owner will pay. You may obtain more information about the particular charges that would apply to you by requesting a personalized policy illustration from you financial advisor.

1 The maximum sales charge imposed on premiums (load) of 7.0% (4.0% in policy years 21 and later) is anticipated to cover the Company's costs for sales expenses and any policy-related state and federal tax liabilities. Policy-related taxes imposed by states range from 0.0% to 4.0%. In considering policy-related state taxes component of the sales charge, the Company considers the average of the taxes imposed by the states rather than any taxes specifically imposed by the state in which the policy owner resides.

2 During the life of the policy, you may request one or more Partial Surrenders, each of which may not exceed 90% of your policy’s Surrender Value as of the date of your request. If you wish to surrender more than 90% of your policy’s Surrender Value, you must request a Full Surrender of you policy, which is subject to the Surrender Charge reflected in the table above. (See section headed “Partial Surrenders” for a discussion of Partial Surrenders of your policy.)


C. Changes to “POLICY CHARGES AND FEES” section of the prospectus:

The following replaces the second paragraph of the “Full Surrenders” section:

For example, the Surrender Charge for a Full Surrender of a policy at the end of the tenth policy year for a male, standard non-tobacco, issue age 45 with an Initial Specified Amount of $1,000,000 which has not been increased would be; a) $1.86 multiplied by b) 1,000 ($1,000,000 divided by 1,000), or $1,860.


D. Changes to “APPENDIX A”

The following replaces in full Appendix A.  The values have changed due to the changes in Charges and Fees described above:

APPENDIX A

EXAMPLE OF SURRENDER CHARGE CALCULATIONS:

The following hypothetical examples demonstrate the impact of Surrender Charges under different scenarios for a male, standard non-tobacco, issue age 45 with an Initial Specified Amount of $1,000,000, no Indebtedness, assumed investment return of 8.00% (7.24% net) and a planned annual Premium Payment of $15,000 (all amounts shown for the end of each policy year in each of the tables below are in dollars):

1)  Fully surrender the policy at the end of the representative policy years shown:

In the table above, the Surrender Charge at the end of year 1 would be:
a)  
$25.89 multiplied by
b)  
1,000 ($1,000,000 divided by 1,000), or $25,890.

 
2)  Decrease the Initial Specified Amount by $500,000 from $1,000,000 to $500,000 at the end of the representative policy years shown:

In the table above, the Surrender Charge at the end of year 1 would be:
a)  
25.89 multiplied by
b)  
250 ($500,000 minus $250,000 ($1,000,000 multiplied by 25%) divided by 1,000), or $6,473.

·  
In the table above, Surrender Charges were only imposed on that part of the Reduction in Initial Specified Amount which exceeded 25% of the Initial Specified Amount. Therefore, only $250,000 of the requested $500,000 Reduction in the Initial Specified Amount is assessed a Surrender Charge.

 
3)  Increase the specified amount by $500,000 from $1,000,000 to $1,500,000 at the beginning of year 7, at attained age 52, standard non-tobacco, and then Fully Surrender the policy at the end of the representative policy years shown:

In the table above, the surrender charge at the end of year 9 would be:
a)
  (i)   4.68 multiplied by
  (ii)  1,000 ($1,000,000 divided by 1,000), plus

b)
  (i)   22.99 multiplied by
  (ii)  500 ($500,000 divided by 1,000), or $16,175.

·  
At the end of year 9, the Surrender Charge equals the charge on the Initial Specified Amount plus the charge on the additional specified amount.
·  
At the end of year 12, the Surrender Charge for the Initial Specified Amount would have expired.
·  
At the end of year 16 and 21, the Surrender Charge for both the Initial and additional specified amount would have expired.

 
4)  Increase the specified amount by $500,000 from $1,000,000 to $1,500,000 at the beginning of year 7, at attained age 52, standard non-tobacco, and then decrease the specified amount by $900,000 from $1,500,000 to $600,000 at the end of the representative policy year shown:


End of Year
Surrender Charge on Initial $1,000,000 of Specified Amount

In the table above, the surrender charge at the end of year 9 would be:
a)
  (i)   4.68 multiplied by
  (ii)  150 ($400,000 minus $250,000 ($1,000,000 multiplied by 25%) divided by 1,000), plus

b)
  (i)   22.99 multiplied by
  (ii)  375 ($500,000 minus $125,000 ($500,000 multiplied by 25%), divided by 1,000), or $9,324.

·  
In the table above, Surrender Charges were only imposed on that part of the Reduction in Initial Specified Amount which exceeded 25% of the Initial Specified Amount and on that part of the reduction of the increase in specified amount which exceeded 25% of the increase in specified amount. Therefore, only $375,000 of the $500,000 increase in specified amount being surrendered is assessed a Surrender Charge and only $150,000 of the $400,000 of the Initial Specified Amount being reduced is assessed a Surrender Charge.
·  
At the end of year 9, the Surrender Charge equals the charge on the Initial Specified Amount plus the charge on the additional specified amount.
·  
At the end of year 12, the Surrender Charge for the Initial Specified Amount would have expired after year 10.
·  
At the end of year 21, the Surrender Charge for both the Initial and additional specified amount would have expired after year 17.

Item 29. Indemnification

(a) Brief description of indemnification provisions:

In general, Article VII of the By-Laws of Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York provides that Lincoln New York 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 New York, 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 New York. 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 New York.

Please refer to Article VII of the By-Laws of Lincoln New York (Exhibit No. 6(b) hereto) for the full text of the indemnification provisions.  Indemnification is permitted by, and is subject to the requirements of, New York 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.

Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the power-of-attorney granted herein shall not in any manner revoke in whole or in part any power-of-attorney that each person whose signature appears below has previously executed.  This power-of-attorney shall not be revoked by any subsequent power-of-attorney each person whose signature appears below may execute, unless such subsequent power specifically refers to this power-of-attorney or specifically states that the instrument is intended to revoke all prior general powers-of-attorney or all prior powers-of-attorney.

CAUTION TO THE PRINCIPAL:  Your Power of Attorney is an important document.  As the “principal,” you give the person whom you choose (your “agent”) authority to spend your money and sell or dispose of your property during your lifetime without telling you.  You do not lose your authority to act even though you have given your agent similar authority.  When your agent exercises this authority, he or she must act according to any instructions you have provided or, where there are no specific instructions, in your best interest.  “Important Information for the Agent” at the end of this document describes your agent’s responsibilities.  Your agent can act on your behalf only after signing the Power of Attorney before a notary public.  You can request information from your agent at any time.  If you are revoking a prior Power of Attorney by executing this Power of Attorney, you should provide written notice of the revocation to your prior agent(s) and to the financial institutions where your accounts are located.  You can revoke or terminate your Power of Attorney at any time for any reason as long as you are of sound mind.  If you are no longer of sound mind, a court can remove an agent for acting improperly.  Your agent cannot make health care decisions for you.  You may execute a “Health Care Proxy” to do this.

The law governing Powers of Attorney is contained in the New York General Obligations Law, Article 5, Title 15.  This law is available at a law library, or online through the New York Senate or Assembly websites, www.senate.state.ny.us or www.assembly.state.ny.us.  If there is anything about this document that you do not understand, you should ask a lawyer of your own choosing to explain it to you.

This Power-of-Attorney may be executed in separate counterparts each of which when executed and delivered shall be an original; but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.  Each counterpart may consist of a number of copies, each signed by less than all, but together signed by all, of the undersigned.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR THE AGENT:  When you accept the authority granted under this Power of Attorney, a special legal relationship is created between you and the principal.  This relationship imposes on you legal responsibilities that continue until you resign or the Power of Attorney is terminated or revoked.  You must:

(1)
act according to any instructions from the principal, or, where there are no instructions, in the principal’s best interest;

(2)           avoid conflicts that would impair your ability to act in the principal’s best interest;

(3)
keep the principal’s property separate and distinct from any assets you own or control, unless otherwise permitted by law;

(4)
keep a record or all receipts, payments, and transactions conducted for the principal; and

(5)
disclose your identity as an agent whenever you act for the principal by writing or printing the principal’s name and signing your own name as “agent” in either of the following manner:  (Principal’s Name) by (Your Signature) as Agent, or (Your Signature) as Agent for (Principal’s Name).

You may not use the principal’s assets to benefit yourself or give major gifts to yourself or anyone else unless the principal has specifically granted you that authority in this Power of Attorney or in a Statutory Major Gifts Rider attached to this Power of Attorney.  If you have that authority, you must act according to any instructions of the principal or, where there are no such instructions, in the principal’s best interest.  You may resign by giving written notice to the principal and to any co-agent, successor agent, monitor if one has been named to this document, or the principal’s guardian if one has been appointed.  If there is anything about this document or your responsibilities that you do not understand, you should seek legal advice.

Liability of agent:  The meaning of the authority given to you is defined in New York’s General Obligations Law, Article 5, Title 15.  If it is found that you have violated the law or acted outside the authority granted to you in the Power of Attorney, you may be liable under the law for your violation.

We, Delson R. Campbell, Kelly D. Clevenger, Christine S. Frederick, Brian A. Kroll, John L. Reizian, Lawrence A. Samplatsky and John D. Weber, have read the foregoing Power of Attorney.  We are the person(s) identified therein as agent(s) for the principal named therein.  We acknowledge our legal responsibilities.
