commencement of any action, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made by the

indemnified party against any person obligated to provide indemnification under

this Section 11 ("indemnifying party"), such indemnified party will notify the

indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof as soon as practicable

thereafter, provided that the omission to so notify the indemnifying party will

not relieve it from any liability under this Section 11, except to the extent

that the omission results in a failure of actual notice to the indemnifying

party and such indemnifying party is damaged solely as a result of the failure

to give such notice. The indemnifying party, upon the request of the indemnified

party, shall retain counsel

<Page>

reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified

party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and

shall pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding.

In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its

own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense

of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified

party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or (ii) the

named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include

both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both

parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential

12. POTENTIAL CONFLICTS.

(a) The Company has received a copy of an application for exemptive

relief, as amended, filed by Investors Research and the Issuer on December 21,

1987, with the SEC and the order issued by the SEC in response thereto (the

"Shared Funding Exemptive Order"). The Company has reviewed the conditions to

the requested relief set forth in such application for exemptive relief As set

forth in such application, the Board of Directors of the Issuer (the "Board")

will monitor the Issuer for the existence of any material irreconcilable

conflict between the interests of the Contract Owners of all separate accounts

("Participating Companies") investing in funds of the Issuer. An irreconcilable

material conflict may arise for a variety of reasons, including: (i) an action

by any state insurance regulatory authority; (ii) a change in applicable federal

or state insurance, tax, or securities laws or regulations, or a public ruling,

private letter ruling, no-action or interpretative letter, or any similar

actions by insurance, tax or securities regulatory authorities; (iii) an

administrative or judicial decision in any relevant proceeding; (iv) the manner

in which the investments of any portfolio are being managed; (v) a difference in

voting instructions given by variable annuity Contract Owners and variable life

insurance Contract Owners; or (vi) a decision by an insurer to disregard the

voting instructions of Contract Owners. The Board shall promptly inform the

Company if it determines that an irreconcilable material conflict exists and the

implications thereof.

(b) The Company will report any potential or existing conflicts of

which it is aware to the Board. The Company will assist the Board in carrying

out its responsibilities under the Shared Funding Exemptive Order by providing

the Board with all information reasonably necessary for the Board to consider

any issues raised. This includes, but is not limited to, an obligation by the

Company to inform the Board whenever Contract Owner voting instructions are

disregarded.

Board members, determines

<Page>

that a material irreconcilable conflict exists with regard to Contract Owner

investments in a Fund, the Board shall give prompt notice to all Participating

Companies. If the Board determines that the Company is responsible for causing

or creating said conflict, the Company shall at its sole cost and expense, and

to the extent reasonably practicable (as determined by a majority of the

disinterested Board members), take such action as is necessary to remedy or

eliminate the irreconcilable material conflict. Such necessary action may

include but shall not be limited to (i) withdrawing the assets allocable to the

Accounts from the Fund and reinvesting such assets in a different investment

medium or submitting the question of whether such segregation should be

implemented to a vote of all affected Contract Owners and as appropriate,

segregating the assets of any appropriate group (i.e., annuity Contract Owners,

life insurance Contract Owners, or variable Contract Owners of one or more

Participating Companies) that votes in favor of such segregation, or offering to

the affected Contract Owners the option of making such a change and (ii)

establishing a new registered management investment company or managed separate

account. Nothing in this SECTION 12(c) shall be construed to waive any cause of

action which may be available to Company against any other Participating

Insurance Company or Companies, or against any other person or entity, in the

event Company determines in good faith that it (Company) is not responsible (or

is not solely responsible) for the material irreconcilable conflict.

(d) If a material irreconcilable conflict arises as a result of a

decision by the Company to disregard its Contract Owner voting instructions and

said decision represents a minority position or would preclude a majority vote

by all of its Contract Owners having an interest in the Issuer, the Company at

its sole cost, may be required, at the Board's election, to withdraw an Accounts

investment in the Issuer and terminate this Agreement; provided, however, that

such withdrawal and termination shall be limited to the extent required by the

foregoing material irreconcilable conflict as determined by a majority of the

disinterested members of the Board.

(e) For the purpose of this SECTION 12, a majority of the

disinterested Board members shall determine whether or not any proposed action

adequately remedies any irreconcilable material conflict, but in no event will

the Issuer be required to establish a new funding medium for any Contract. The

Company shall not be required by this SECTION 12 to establish a new funding

medium for any Contract if an offer to do so has been declined by vote of a

majority of the Contract Owners materially adversely affected by the

irreconcilable material conflict.

13. APPLICABLE LAW. This agreement shall be subject to the provisions

of all applicable securities law, and the rules and regulations and rulings

thereunder, including such exemptions from those statutes, rules and regulations

as the SEC may grant, and the terms hereof shall be limited, interpreted and

construed in accordance therewith.

(d) upon termination of the Distribution Agreement between the Issuer

and Distributor or the Management Agreement between Investors Research and the

Funds. Notice of such termination shall be promptly furnished to the Company.

the Issuer to substitute for the Issuer's shares the shares of another

Issuer's shares had been selected to serve as the underlying investment medium.

The Company will give 60 days' written notice to the Issuer and Distributor of

any proposed vote to replace the Funds' shares;

(f) upon assignment of this Agreement unless made with the written

consent of all other parties hereto;

(g) if the Issuer's shares are not registered, issued or sold in

conformance with Federal law or such law precludes the use of Fund shares as an

underlying investment medium of Contracts issued or to be issued by the Company.

in good faith that the Company is not offering shares of the Fund in conformity

with the terms of this Agreement or applicable law;

the terminating party's counsel, violate any applicable federal or state law,

rule, regulation or judicial order;

majority of the Fund Board, or a majority of disinterested Fund Board members,

Contract Owners or (ii) the interests of the Participating Insurance Companies

investing in the Fund;

<Page>

(k) at the option of the Company if the Fund ceases to qualify as a

Regulated Investment Company under Subchapter M of the Code, or under any

successor or similar provision, or if the Company reasonably believes, based on

an opinion of its counsel, that the Fund may fail to so qualify;

(l) at the option of the Company if the Fund fails to meet the

diversification requirements specified in Section 817(h) of the Code and any

regulations thereunder,

(m) at the option of either the Fund or the Distributor if the Fund or

the Distributor, respectively, shall determine, in their sole judgment exercised

in good faith, that either (1) the Company shall have suffered a material

adverse change in its business or financial condition; or (2) the Company shall

have been the subject of material adverse publicity which is likely to have a

material adverse impact upon the business and operations of either the Fund or

the Distributor; or

(n) at the option of the Company, if the Company shall determine, in

its sole judgment exercised in good faith, that either: (1) the investment

Advisor or Distributor shall have suffered a material adverse change in their

respective businesses or financial condition; or (2) the Investment Advisor or

Distributor shall have been the subject of material adverse publicity which is

likely to have a material adverse impact upon the business and operations of the

Company.

Administrative Services payment obligation to the Company (except for payment

AMENDMENT NO. 10 TO FUND PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT

THIS AMENDMENT NO. 10 TO FUND PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT (the "Amendment")

is made as of this 1st day of November, 2008, by and between THE LINCOLN

NATIONAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY (the "Company") and AMERICAN CENTURY

INVESTMENT SERVICES, INC. ("ACIS"). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined

herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Agreement (defined

below).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, the Company and ACIS are parties to that certain Fund

Participation Agreement dated September 26, 1996, as amended (the

"Agreement"); and

WHEREAS, effective July 2, 2007, Jefferson Pilot Financial Insurance

Company ("JPFIC") merged into its affiliated insurance company, The Lincoln

National Life Insurance Company, and ceased all legal existence. The Company

and ACIS agree that the Shareholder Services Agreement between ACIS and JPFIC

dated May 1, 2001, shall be of no further effect; and

WHEREAS, the parties have agreed to amend the Agreement to revise the

list of variable annuity contracts and variable life policies supported by

the separate accounts under the Agreement, as set forth in the attached

Schedule A; and

WHEREAS, the parties have agreed to amend the Agreement to revise the

list of separate accounts for which Funds are made available under the

Agreement, as set forth in the attached Schedule B; and

WHEREAS, the parties have agreed to make additional Funds available as

investment options and to revise the reimbursement terms under the Agreement,

as set forth in the attached Schedule C; and

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and

sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree to amend the

Agreement as follows:

1. FUNDS AVAILABLE. The second recital of the Agreement is hereby

deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following language:

"WHEREAS, the Company wishes to make available as investment

options under the Agreement, one or more of the funds identified in

SCHEDULE C attached hereto (the "Funds"), each of which is a series of

mutual fund shares registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as

amended, and issued by a registered investment company (each an "Issuer"

and collectively, the "Issuers"); and"

2. TIMING OF TRANSACTIONS. Section 3 to the Agreement is hereby

deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following language:

"(a) Distributor hereby appoints the Company as agent for the Funds

for the limited purpose of accepting purchase and redemption orders for

Shares from the Plans sponsors and/or Participants, as applicable. On each

day the New York Stock Exchange (the "Exchange") is open for business

(each, a "Business Day"); the Company may receive instructions from the

Plans sponsors and/or Participants for the purchase or redemption of

<Page>

Shares ("Orders"). Orders received and accepted by the Company prior to the

price time for each Fund as set forth in its Prospectus (the "Price Time"),

generally the close of regular trading on the Exchange (the "Close of

Trading") on any given Business Day (currently, 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) and

transmitted to Transfer Agent either (1) prior to the Price Time on such

Business Day or (2) pursuant to the National Securities Clearing

Corporation's ("NSCC") Mutual Fund Settlement, Entry and Redemption

Verification ("Fund/SERV") system in accordance with Section 4 hereof, will

be executed at the net asset value determined as of the relevant Fund's

Price Time on the Business Day the Company received such Order. Any Orders

received by the Company on such day but after the relevant Fund's Price

Time on a Business Day will be executed at the net asset value next

determined as of that Fund's Price Time on the next Business Day. The day

as of which an Order is executed by Transfer Agent pursuant to the

provisions set forth above is referred to herein as the "Trade Date". All

Orders are subject to acceptance or rejection by American Century or the

Funds in the sole discretion of any of them.

"(b) Notwithstanding Section 3(a) above, if the Securities and

Exchange Commission adopts a rule, or a law is enacted, that changes the

requirements for intermediaries with regard to accepting Orders on behalf

of the Funds, the timing of transmitting Orders to the Funds, or otherwise

affects the way Orders are accepted, transmitted or priced, Section 3(a)

shall be deemed to be automatically amended to comply with such new rule or

law."

3. PROCESSING OF TRANSACTIONS. If transactions in Shares are to be

settled manually, the provisions in Sections 4(a), (b) and (c) continue to

apply. The Agreement is hereby amended with the following language:

"(d) If transactions in Shares are to be settled through the Fund/SERV

system, the following provisions shall apply:

"(1) Each party to this Agreement represents that it or one of its

affiliates has entered into the Standard Networking Agreement with the NSCC

and it desires to participate in the programs offered by the NSCC Fund/SERV

system which provide (i) an automated process whereby shareholder purchases

and redemptions, exchanges and transactions of mutual fund shares are

executed through the Fund/SERV system, and (ii) a centralized and

standardized communication system for the exchange of customer-level

information and account activity through the Fund/SERV Networking system

("Networking").

"(2) For each Fund/SERV transaction, including transactions

establishing accounts with American Century or its affiliates, the Company

shall provide the Funds and American Century or its affiliates with all

information necessary or appropriate to establish and maintain each

Fund/SERV transaction (and any subsequent changes to such information),

which the Company hereby certifies is and shall remain true and correct.

The Company shall maintain documents required by American Century or the

Funds to effect Fund/SERV transactions. Each instruction shall be deemed

to be accompanied by a representation by the Company that it has received

proper authorization from each person whose purchase, redemption, account

transfer or exchange transaction is effected as a result of such

instruction.

"(3) At all times each party shall maintain insurance coverage that

is reasonable and customary in light of all its responsibilities hereunder

and under applicable law. Such

<Page>

coverage shall insure for losses resulting from the criminal acts, errors

or omissions of each party's employees and agents.

"(4) The Company represents and warrants that all instructions,

questions and other correspondence concerning the accounts for which trades

are made in accordance with this SECTION 4(a) shall come from the Company,

and that individual account holders shall contact the Company, rather than

contact Distributor or the Funds directly, with instructions, questions and

requests concerning the Funds. The Company further represents and warrants

that it, rather than Distributor or the Funds, has reporting responsibility

to its clients for confirmations of transactions and monthly, quarterly and

year-end statements.

"(e) If transactions in Shares are to be settled directly with Transfer

Agent, procedures relating to the processing and settlement of Orders shall

be subject to such instructions as American Century may forward to the

Company from time to time. Payment for net purchase transactions shall be

made by wire transfer or through a clearinghouse agency approved by the

American Century to the applicable Fund custodial account designated by

American Century on the Business Day next following the Trade Date. Such

wire transfers shall be initiated by the Company's bank prior to 4:00 p.m.

Eastern time and received by the Funds prior to 6:00 p.m. Eastern time on

the Business Day next following the Trade Date. If payment for a purchase

Order is not timely received, the Fund may cancel the Order or, at American

Century's option, resell the shares to the applicable Fund at the then

prevailing net asset value, and the Company shall be responsible for all

costs to American Century, the Funds or any affiliate of American Century

or the Funds resulting from such resale. The Company shall be responsible

for any loss, expense, liability or damage, including loss of profit

suffered by American Century and/or the respective Funds resulting from

delay or failure to make timely payment for such shares or cancellation of

any trade, or for any Orders that are processed on an "as of" basis as an

accommodation to the Company. The Company shall not be entitled to any

gains generated thereby.

"(f) The Company agrees not to withhold placing Orders received from any

customers for the purchase or sale of shares so as to profit itself as a

result of such withholding. The Company shall not purchase shares through

Distributor except for the purpose of covering purchase Orders received by

the Company, or for the Company's bona fide investment. The Company agrees

to purchase shares only from the Funds or its customers. If the Company

purchases shares from its customers, it will pay such customers not less

than the applicable redemption price as established by the then-current

prospectuses of the Funds."

4. COMPENSATION AND EXPENSES. Section 6(b) is hereby deleted in its

entirety and the following is substituted in lieu thereof:

"(b) ACIS acknowledges that it will derive a substantial savings in

administrative expenses, such as a reduction in expenses related to

postage, shareholder communications and recordkeeping, by virtue of having

a single shareholder account per Fund for the Accounts rather than having

each Contract owner as a shareholder. In consideration of the

Administrative Services and performance of all other obligations under this

Agreement by the Company, ACIS will pay the Company a fee (the

"Administrative Services Fee") attached as SCHEDULE C, attached hereto.

Any such fee shall be paid to the Company only with respect to Accounts

where the Company's Dealer # 4685 and/or # 7002003 is indicated."

<Page>

5. SCHEDULES A, B AND C. Schedules A, B and C are hereby deleted in

their entirety and are replaced by Schedules A, B and C, attached hereto.

6. RATIFICATION AND CONFIRMATION OF AGREEMENT. In the event of a

conflict between the terms of this Amendment and the Agreement, it is the

intention of the parties that the terms of this Amendment shall control and

the Agreement shall be interpreted on that basis. To the extent the

provisions of the Agreement have not been amended by this Amendment, the

parties hereby confirm and ratify the Agreement.

7. COUNTERPARTS. This Amendment may be executed in two or more

counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which together

shall constitute one instrument.

8. FULL FORCE AND EFFECT. Except as expressly supplemented, amended

or consented to hereby, all of the representations, warranties, terms,

covenants and conditions of the Agreement shall remain unamended and shall

continue to be in full force and effect.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have caused this Amendment No. 10 to be

executed in its name and on behalf of its duly authorized officer as of the

date first listed above.
