Appendix B - 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. We impose Investment Requirements 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.

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 Account 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 funds are included under Investment Requirements in part because the reduction in volatility helps us 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. At the same time, risk management strategies in periods of high market volatility or other market conditions, could limit your participation in market gains. This may conflict with your investment objectives by limiting your ability to maximize potential growth of your Contract Value and, in turn, the value of any guaranteed benefit that is tied to investment performance. You should consult your registered representative to determine whether these funds align with your investment objectives. 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 purchased 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 purchased. 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.

If you elect...	and the date of election is...	you will be subject to Investment Requirements
i4LIFE® Advantage Select Guaranteed Income Benefit	On or after October 3, 2016	Option 3
Lincoln Lifetime IncomeSM Advantage	February 19, 2008 through January 19, 2009 On or after January 20, 2009	Option 2 Option 3
Lincoln SmartSecurity® Advantage	Prior to April 10, 2006 April 10, 2006 through January 19, 2009 On or after January 20, 2009	N/A Option 1 Option 3
4LATER® Advantage	April 10, 2006 through January 19, 2009 On or after January 20, 2009	Option 1 Option 3
i4LIFE® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit (v.1)	Prior to April 10, 2006 On or after April 10, 2006	N/A Option 1

i4LIFE® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit (v.4)	On or after November 15, 2010	Option 3

Investment Requirements - Option 1

No more than 35% of your Contract Value (includes Account Value if i4LIFE® Advantage is in effect) can be invested in the following Subaccounts ("Limited Subaccounts") (Note: not all Subaccounts are available with all contracts):

All other Subaccounts will be referred to as "Non-Limited Subaccounts" .

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 the rider, 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, portfolio rebalancing will be paused until updated allocation instructions are received from you. 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:

Investment Requirements - Option 2

You can select the percentages of Contract Value (includes 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 in a group must comply with the specified minimum or maximum percentages for that group.

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 comply with the Investment Requirements, portfolio rebalancing will be paused, and any subsequent transfer requests will be considered not in Good Order until updated allocation instructions are received. 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:

At this time, the Subaccount groups are as follows:

Group 1 Investments must be at least 25% of Contract Value or Account Value	Group 2 Investments cannot exceed 75% of Contract Value or Account Value	Group 3 Investments cannot exceed 10% of Contract Value or Account Value
American Funds Capital World Bond Fund American Funds High-Income Trust American Funds Mortgage Fund American Funds The Bond Fund of America American Funds U.S. Government Securities LVIP American Preservation Fund	All other investment options except as discussed below.	No Subaccounts at this time.

The fixed account is only available for dollar cost averaging.

To satisfy these Investment Requirements, you may allocate 100% of your Contract Value or i4LIFE® Advantage Account Value among the Subaccounts on the following list; however, if you allocate less than 100% of Contract Value or i4LIFE® Advantage Account 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.

To satisfy these Investment Requirements, Contract Value or i4LIFE® Advantage Account Value may be allocated in accordance with certain asset allocation models, made available to you by your broker dealer. At this time, 100% of the Contract Value or i4LIFE®Advantage Account Value can be allocated to one of the following models: American Legacy Fundamental Growth and Income Model, American Legacy Fundamental Equity Growth Model, American Legacy Fundamental Balanced Model, or American Legacy Fundamental Income 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 or Group 2 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 IncomeSM Advantage Plus rider before January 20, 2009, your only investment options until the seventh Benefit Year anniversary are to allocate 100% of your Contract Value to the American Funds Asset Allocation Fund (a Subaccount), the American Funds Managed Risk Asset Allocation Fund or the LVIP American Income Allocation Fund, or to one of these asset allocation models: the American Legacy Fundamental Balanced Model or the American Legacy Fundamental Income Model.

Investment Requirements - Option 3

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.

Certain Living Benefit Riders guarantee you the right to transition to a version of the i4LIFE® Guaranteed Income Benefit even if that version is no longer available for purchase. If you transition to i4LIFE® Guaranteed Income Benefit, the Investment Requirements under your Prior Living Benefit Rider continue to apply. See i4LIFE® Advantage - i4LIFE® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit Transitions for a discussion of this transition.

If you purchase a Living Benefit Rider (except i4LIFE® Advantage without Guaranteed Income Benefit), 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 comply with the Investment Requirements, portfolio rebalancing will be paused, and any subsequent transfer requests will be considered not in Good Order until updated allocation instructions are received. These investments will become your allocation instructions until you tell us otherwise.

For certain Living Benefit Riders, the Subaccounts of your Contract are divided into groups and have specified minimum or maximum percentages of Contract Value that must be in each group at the time you purchase the rider. Please review the Investment Requirements below to determine which Investment Requirements apply to your rider. You can select the percentages of Contract Value 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. 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. For other Living Benefit Riders, we may only make certain Subaccounts available to you, which are listed below.

For allLiving Benefit Riders, we may add or remove Subaccounts 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 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.
