This Supplement dated November 9, 2009, outlines a change to the prospectus for your individual variable annuity contract. It is for informational purposes and requires no action on your part.

The changes outlined below apply only to contracts purchased on or after November 9, 2009. The provisions outlined in your May 1, 2009 prospectus continue to apply to all contracts purchased before that date.

Charges and Other Deductions -- Sales Charge

A front-end load, or sales charge, will be applied to all initial and subsequent gross purchase payments that you make.  We deduct the sales charge from each gross purchase payment before it is allocated to a subaccount and/or fixed account.  The sales charge is a percentage of each gross purchase payment and is based on the owner’s investment amount at the time each gross purchase payment is made, according to the following scale:

Owner’s Investment
Sales Charge
Under $25,000 ………………….
5.75%
$25,000 - $49,999 .…………...…
5.00%
$50,000 - $99,999 ………………
4.50%
$100,000 - $249,999 ……………
3.50%
$250,000 - $499,999 ……………
2.50%
$500,000 - $749,999 ……………
2.00%
$750,000 - $999,999 ……………
1.50%
$1,000,000 or greater …………...
1.00%

The owner’s investment is defined, in accordance with our procedures, as the sum of:
1.  
the current gross purchase payment and,
2.  
if making an addition to an existing contract, the higher of:
a.  
the existing contract value, or;
b.  
the sum of all previous gross purchase payments made into the existing contract less any withdrawals.

These calculations may vary based upon the requirements of your state. Please check with your investment representative. No sales charges will be applied on contracts issued to selling group individuals, if applicable, in your state.

You might be able to lower the sales charge you pay by indicating in a Letter of Intent, the total amount of purchase payments you intend to make in the thirteen months from the date you purchase your contract. On the date you purchase your contract, we will deduct a sales charge based on the total amount you plan to invest over the following thirteen months, if it is less than the sales charge based on your initial purchase payment. If you do not make the amount of purchase payments stated in the Letter of Intent during the thirteen month period, we will recalculate the sales charge based on the actual amount of purchase payments we received in the thirteen month period. If you owe us additional money, we will deduct this amount proportionately from your contract value during the fourteenth month. If you make a subsequent purchase into this contract, we may also accept a Letter of Intent for another thirteen month period. We reserve the right to discontinue this option at any time.

For contracts purchased on or after November 9, 2009, the definition of Selling Group Individuals is as follows:  A contractowner who meets one of the following criteria at the time of the contract purchase and who purchases the contract without the assistance of a sales representative under contract with us:
 
·  
Employees and registered representatives of any member of the selling group (broker-dealers who have selling agreements with us);
·  
Officers, directors, trustees or bona-fide full-time employees and their spouses and minor children, of Lincoln Financial Group or any of the investment advisers of the funds currently being offered, or their affiliated or managed companies.

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or terminate this program at any time for new contract purchasers.


Please retain this supplement for future reference.

Item 27. Number of Contractowners
 
As of August 31, 2009 there were 365,007 contract owners under Account H.
 
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) 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.
 
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.
 
Item 29. Principal Underwriter
