THE LINCOLN NATIONAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY:
LINCOLN LIFE FLEXIBLE PREMIUM VARIABLE LIFE ACCOUNT S

SUPPLEMENT DATED
TO THE PRODUCT PROSPECTUS DATED MAY 1, 2011 FOR:

LINCOLN CORPORATE COMMITMENT® VUL

This Supplement to your prospectus for LINCOLN CORPORATE COMMITMENT® VUL describes a new optional rider – Surrender Value and Loan Spread Enhancement Rider – applicable to policies issued on or after __________ 2011, subject to state availability.   All pertinent sections of your underlying prospectus have been updated to describe this rider.  All other provisions of your prospectus remain unchanged.

The following has been added to Table II:  Periodic Charges Other Than Operating Expenses:

When Charge is Deducted

Surrender Value and Loan Spread Enhancement Rider
N/A
There is no charge for this rider.

The following has been added to section “Your Insurance Policy” sub-section “Riders”:

Surrender Value and Loan Spread Enhancement Rider.  The policy can be issued with a Surrender Value and Loan Spread Enhancement Rider at no additional charge.  The rider must be elected at application and may not be available on all policies.  For example, you may not choose this rider if you have elected the Adjustable Benefit Enhancement Rider or the Enhanced Surrender Value Rider.

Surrender Value Enhancement.  If this rider is included with your policy and you effect an “Eligible Surrender” within the first four policy years (the “Surrender Value Enhancement Period”), the proceeds you will receive will be increased by a certain amount over what you would have received had you not elected this rider.  An “Eligible Surrender” is a full surrender of the policy.  Partial surrenders and withdrawals of less than the full amount of the policy’s cash surrender value are not “Eligible Surrenders.  A full surrender in the course of an exchange of policies pursuant to Section 1035 of the Internal Revenue Code is also not an Eligible Surrender, unless you reside in a state where such an exception is not allowed.  The amount of the increase in your surrender proceeds will depend on the “Surrender Value and Loan Spread Enhancement Option” (described below) that you choose when you apply for the policy.  The Surrender Value and Loan Spread Enhancement Option gives you the opportunity to exchange a portion of the increase in surrender value for a lower net cost of borrowing in later policy years (“Loan Spread” - see Loan Spread definition below.)

 
 

The Surrender Value Enhancement only applies during the Surrender Value Enhancement Period and only while the rider is In Force.  It is calculated as follows: (a) multiplied by (b) multiplied by (c) multiplied by (d) where:

(a)  
 is the applicable Surrender Value Enhancement Rate
(b)  
is the Term Blend Adjustment Factor; and
(c)  
is the cumulative Surrender Value Enhancement Premium; and
(d)  
is the Surrender Value Enhancement Multiplier.

These terms are explained below.

Surrender Value Enhancement Rate.  This rate is taken from a table of rates shown in your policy and is based on our expectations of future investment earnings, persistency and expenses, including taxes.  The rate for Policy Year 1 will be as shown in the table of rates in your policy.  The rates in Policy Year 2 through Policy Year 4 will be determined annually and are guaranteed to fall within a range of rates from 10% to 0.25%.  At the beginning of Policy Year 5 and thereafter, the rate will be zero.

Term Blend Adjustment Factor.  If you do not have a Term Insurance Rider in effect under your policy, the Term Blend Adjustment Factor is equal to 1.0.  If a Term Insurance Rider is in effect under your policy, this factor is calculated as ((a) divided by (b)) multiplied by (c) plus (d) where:

(a)  
is Your policy Specified Amount on the date of the Eligible Surrender;
(b)  
is the total of Your policy Specified Amount and any additional Specified Amount provide under the Term Insurance Rider in effect as of the date of Eligible Surrender;
(c)  
is .70;
(d)  
is .30.

Surrender Value Enhancement Premium.  The Surrender Value Enhancement Premium is an amount equal to the lesser of (1) and (2) where:

(1)  
is the sum of the policy premiums paid during the Policy Year; less the sum of any partial surrenders paid during the Policy Year; or
(2)  
is the policy Target Premium for the applicable Policy Year multiplied by the ratio of the Target Specified Amount to the base policy’s Specified Amount.  The Target Premium, Target Specified Amount and base policy’s Specified Amount are all shown in the policy.  As provided in the policy, the Target Premium is subject to change based on future changes you make to the policy (i.e. withdrawals, changes in Specified Amount).

Cumulative Surrender Value Enhancement Premium.  This is an amount equal to the total of Surrender Value Enhancement premiums you have paid to date as of the date of the Eligible Surrender.

Surrender Value Enhancement Multiplier.  This number is found in your policy and is based on the Surrender Value and Loan Spread Enhancement Option you have selected.  The multiplier and Loan Spread Enhancement Option are described below.

Loan Spread Enhancement.  The difference between the interest rate we charge you for policy loans and the interest we credit to your policy’s Loan Collateral Account (or Loan Account) represents your net cost of borrowing and is called the “Loan Spread.”  The amount of your Loan Spread is determined by the amount of Surrender Value Enhancement you agree to receive on an Eligible Surrender.  At the time of application, you will select a Surrender Value and Loan Spread Enhancement Option which thereafter cannot be changed.  Your choice of option will determine:

(a)  
the percentage of the Surrender Value Enhancement amount (the “Surrender Value Enhancement Multiplier” or “Multiplier”) you would receive in the event of an Eligible Surrender; and
(b)  
the Loan Spreads that would be available with respect to any outstanding policy loans.

Accordingly, if you have outstanding policy loans, while the rider is In Force, the Loan Spread is guaranteed not to exceed the Loan Spread Enhancement Rates shown in your policy for the option you have chosen.

For example, the currently available Surrender Value and Loan Spread Enhancement Options, Surrender Value Enhancement Multipliers and resulting Loan Spreads are shown in the table below.  Referring to the table, if you chose Option 1, you would receive 100% of the Surrender Value Enhancement calculated as described above.  In doing so, your Loan Spread rate for all years would be .50%.  If you chose Option 2, in exchange for agreeing to receive 75% of the Surrender Value Enhancement, your policy loans would experience a Loan Spread rate of .50% during the first 10 policy years and .25% thereafter.  Finally, if you chose Option 3, your Loan Spread rate will be .50% during the 1st 10 policy years and 0% thereafter.

Surrender Value and Loan Spread Enhancement Option – Surrender Value Enhancement Multiplier
Policy Years
 0-10
Policy Years 11+
Option 1
100%
0.50%
0.50%
Option 2
75%
0.50%
0.25%
Option 3

0.50%
0.00%


It is important to note that, during the Surrender Value Enhancement Period, the amount available under your policy for partial surrenders and loans will not be increased due to this rider.  Also, the Loan Spread Enhancement will apply only to standard policy loans and will not apply to loans under the Alternative Policy Loan Rider, if elected.

Item 29. Indemnification

(a) Brief description of indemnification provisions:

In general, Article VII of the By-Laws of The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (Lincoln Life) 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 not 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.
