VARIABLE ANNUITY AMENDMENT
This Amendment is made a part of the Contract to which it is attached (this
Contract).
. For purposes of this Amendment, Earnings shall be defined as the excess of
the Contract Value over Purchase Payments which have not yet been withdrawn
from this Contract.
. The second sentence of the second paragraph of Section 2.11 Surrender
Option, shall be deleted.
. The following shall replace the first three sentences of the first
paragraph of Section 2.12, WITHDRAWAL OPTION:
The Owner may withdraw a part of the surrender value of this Contract,
subject to the charges outlined under Surrender Option (see Section
2.11). However, the Owner may withdraw up to the Free Amount once each
Contract Year without incurring a Contingent Deferred Sales Charge
(CDSC). The Free Amount is equal to 10% of the total Purchase
Payments.
For purposes of calculating the CDSC on withdrawals, LNL assumes that:
a. The Free Amount will be withdrawn from Purchase Payments on a
"first in-first out (FIFO)" basis.
b. Prior to the seventh anniversary of the Contract Date, any amount
withdrawn above the Free Amount during a Contract Year will be
withdrawn in the following order:
1. from Purchase Payments (on a FIFO basis) until exhausted; then
2. from Earnings.
c. On or after the seventh anniversary of the Contract Date, any
amount withdrawn above the Free Amount during a Contract Year
will be withdrawn in the following order:
1. from Purchase Payments (on a FIFO basis) to which a CDSC no
longer applies until exhausted; then
2. from Earnings until exhausted; then
3. from Purchase Payments (on a FIFO basis) to which a CDSC still
applies.
