WHEREAS, Adviser and Society hereto entered into the Administrative Services Agreement (“Agreement”), executed and effective as of May 1, 2023;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of their mutual promises and covenants hereinafter contained, the parties, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:
1. | Schedule One shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with Schedule One attached hereto. | |
2. | Adviser hereby assigns to Administrator all of Adviser's rights, title, and interest in and to the Agreement. Administrator xxxxxx accepts said assignment and assumes the Agreement and all duties and obligations of Adviser thereunder. All references in the Agreement to “Lincoln Financial Investments Corporation” or the “Adviser” are hereby replaced with “Lincoln National Life Insurance Company” or the “Administrator,” respectively. Administrator agrees that the terms and conditions of the Agreement which previously applied to Adviser are hereby ratified, confirmed by, and made applicable to Administrator. | |

In consideration of the performance of the Administrative Services by Society with respect to the Contracts, beginning on the date hereof, Administrator agrees to pay Society an annual fee which shall equal a percentage (the “Asset Fee” set forth on Schedule One hereto) of the average daily value of each Fund’s assets attributable to the Contracts held by the Variable Contract Owners. The foregoing fee will be paid by Administrator to Society quarterly within thirty (30) days after the end of the calendar quarter. For purposes of determining the payment, the total of the average daily net assets in the applicable Funds shall be multiplied by the Asset Fee multiplied by the actual number of calendar days in the period divided by the number of calendar days in the year.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the Participation Agreement appearing to the contrary, the payments by Administrator to Society relate solely to the performance by Society of the Administrative Services described herein only, and do not constitute
payment in any manner for services provided by Society to any separate account organized by Society, or for any investment advisory services, or for costs associated with the distribution of any variable annuity contracts. | ||
