Important Information You Should Consider About the Lincoln Investor Advantage® Pro Variable Annuity Contract 
FEES, EXPENSES, AND ADJUSTMENTS
Location in
Prospectus
Are There
Charges or
Adjustments for
Early
Withdrawals?
Yes:
A surrender charge may apply to a surrender or withdrawal of a Purchase Payment prior
to the 5th anniversary (B-Share) since the Purchase Payment was invested, up to 7% of
the amount withdrawn, declining to 0% over that time period. For example, if you
purchase a B-Share contract and make a withdrawal of $100,000 during the first year
after your Purchase Payment, you could be assessed a charge of up to $7,000 on the
Purchase Payment withdrawn. This loss will be greater if there are taxes or tax penalties.
A surrender charge will not apply if your withdrawal is made after the 5th anniversary
(B-Share) since a Purchase Payment was invested.
The C-Share contract does not have surrender charges.

Appendix B - Investment Requirements
If you elect the Earnings Optimizer Death Benefit, you will be subject to Investment Requirements. These Investment Requirements will apply for the entire time your Contract is in force. This 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 this Death Benefit. 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 rider.
We have divided the Subaccounts of your Contract into groups and have specified the maximum percentages of Contract Value that must be in each group at the time you purchase the rider. Some investment options are not available to you if you purchase this rider. 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.
You can select the percentages of Contract Value (or Account Value if i4LIFE® Advantage 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 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 in accordance with 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.
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. 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 these 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:
1.
submit your own reallocation instructions for the Contract Value, before the effective date specified in the notice, so that the Investment Requirements are satisfied; or
2.
take no action and be subject to the quarterly rebalancing as described above. If this results in a change to your allocation instructions, then these will be your new allocation instructions until you tell us otherwise.
At this time, the Subaccount groups are as follows: 
Group 1 - Unlimited Subaccounts
You may allocate 100% of your Contract Value or Account Value among any Subaccount not listed in Group 2 - Unavailable Subaccounts 
Group 2 - Unavailable Subaccounts
