PURCHASE PAYMENTS
1.01 WHERE PAYABLE
The Purchase Payments must be made to The Lincoln National Life Insurance
Company (LNL) at its Home Office. The initial Purchase Payment for this Contract
must be at least $5,000. Additional Purchase Payments must be at least $1,000.
1.02 VARIABLE ACCOUNT
Purchase Payments under the Contract may be allocated to the Lincoln National
Life Variable Annuity Account C (Variable Account) and/or to the fixed portion
of the Contract. The Variable Account is for the exclusive benefit of persons
entitled to receive benefits under variable annuity contracts. The Variable
Account will not be charged with the liabilities from any other part of LNL's
business. There are currently eight sub-accounts in the Variable Account. The
Owner may direct Purchase Payments under the Contract to any of the available
sub-accounts subject to the following limitations. A minimum payment to any one
sub-account must be at least $1,000. If the Owner elects to direct Purchase
Payments to a new sub-account not previously selected, the election must be in
writing to LNL. All the amounts allocated to each sub-account will be invested
at net asset value in the shares of one of the regulated investment companies
(the Eligible Funds). The Eligible Funds are:
1. Lincoln National Growth Fund, Inc.
2. Lincoln National Bond Fund, Inc.
3. Lincoln National Money Market Fund, Inc.
4. Lincoln National Special Opportunities Fund, Inc.
5. Lincoln National Managed Fund, Inc.
6. Lincoln National ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Master Fund, Inc.
7. Lincoln National Social Awareness Fund, Inc.
8. Lincoln National International Fund, Inc.
9. Other Funds made available by LNL.
LNL reserves the right to eliminate the shares of any of the Eligible Funds and
substitute the securities of a different investment company if the shares of an
Eligible Fund are no longer available for investment, or if in the judgment of
LNL, further investment in any Eligible Fund should become inappropriate in view
of the purposes of the Contract. LNL may add an Eligible Fund in order to invest
the assets of a new sub-account in the Variable Account. LNL shall give the
Owner written notice of the elimination and substitution of Eligible Funds
within five days after such substitution occurs.
LNL shall use the Purchase Payment allocated to the Variable Account by the
Owner to buy Accumulation Units in the sub-account(s) selected by the Owner.
The number of Accumulation Units bought shall be determined by dividing the
amount directed to the sub-account by the dollar value of an Accumulation
Unit in such sub-account as of the day the Purchase Payments are received at
the Home Office of LNL. The number of Accumulation Units held for the account
of an Owner shall not be changed by any change in the dollar value of
Accumulation Units in any sub-account.
1.03 NET INVESTMENT RATE AND NET INVESTMENT FACTOR
The Variable Account value of an Owner's Contract at any time prior to the
Annuity Commencement Date equals the Value of the Accumulation Units held in the
name of the Owner in the Variable Account under the Contract.
A "Valuation Date" is each day that the New York Stock Exchange is open for
business. A "Valuation Period" is the period commencing at the close of business
on the New York Stock Exchange on each Valuation Date and ending at the close of
business on the next succeeding Valuation Date.
Accumulation Units for each sub-account are valued separately. Initially, the
value of an Accumulation Unit in each sub-accounts was set at $1.00. Thereafter,
the value of an Accumulation Unit in any sub-account on any Valuation Date
equals the value of an Accumulation Unit in that sub-account as of the
immediately preceding Valuation Date multiplied by the "net investment factor"
of that sub-account for the current Valuation Period. In order to arrive at
this factor, a "Gross Investment Rate" is first determined for each Eligible
Fund for the Valuation Period. Such rate for the Valuation Period is equal to:
a) the investment income of the Fund: plus
b) capital gains (realized and unrealized); minus
c) capital losses (realized and unrealized); minus
d) certain operational expenses of the Fund; minus
e) the reserve for federal taxes on realized capital gains (if applicable);
minus
f) the investment advisory fee accrued by the Funds for each day of the
Valuation Period--0.480% of the first $200,000,000 of net assets on an
annual basis, (0.750% for the Lincoln National ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Master Fund, Inc
/0.900% for the Lincoln National International Fund, Inc.), 0.400% of the
next $200,000,000 of net assets, (0.700% for the Lincoln National ▇▇▇▇▇▇
Master Fund, Inc./0.750% for the Lincoln National International Fund,
Inc.), and 0.300% of net assets above $400,000,000, (0.680% for the Lincoln
National ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Master Fund, Inc./0.600% for the Lincoln National
International Fund, Inc.); divided by
g) the net asset value of the Fund as of the beginning of the Valuation
Period.
The Gross Investment Rate may be positive or negative.
Page 4
The Net Investment Rate for each sub-account is equal to the Gross Investment
Rate of the Eligible Fund minus a daily charge at an annual rate of 1.002%
for each day of the Valuation Period, plus or minus an adjustment for any
taxes attributable to the operation of the Variable Account. LNL makes the
1.002% deduction for administrative expenses and mortality and expense risk
guarantees.
The method used to determine unit values may increase or decrease the dollar
value of benefits under the Contract. The dollar value of benefits will not be
adversely affected by expenses incurred by LNL.
The Net Investment Factor for each sub-account is equal to 1.000000000 plus the
Net Investment Rate for the period.
1.04 FIXED ALLOCATIONS
The Purchase Payments under the Contract may be allocated to the Variable
Account and/or to the fixed portion of the Contract. A minimum payment to the
fixed portion must be at least $1,000. Purchase Payments allocated to the fixed
portion will be invested in the general account of LNL.
1.05 CREDITING OF INTEREST
Interest shall be credited daily on all Purchase Payments that are allocated to
the fixed portion of this Contract.
Prior to the time the Annuitant elects to receive Benefit Payments or the death
of the Annuitant, whichever occurs first, LNL guarantees that it will credit
interest on fixed allocations at an effective annual rate not less than 4.5%
during the first five contract years, 4.0% for the next five contract years, and
3.5% after that. A table of guaranteed values for the fixed allocations may be
found in Article 7.
LNL may credit interest at rates in excess of the guaranteed rates at any time
and guarantee higher rates for shorter periods of time.
1.06 AUTOMATIC NONFORFEITURE OPTION
This Contract will continue until the earlier of the Maturity Date, surrender of
the Contract, or death of the Annuitant. Additional Purchase Payments may be
made at any time. The total Account Value must be at least $000. If not, LNL may
surrender the Contract. Purchase Payments may be resumed at any time prior to
maturity, surrender, or death of the Annuitant.
1.07 TRANSFERS
The Owner may direct a transfer of assets from one sub-account to another
sub-account or to the fixed portion of the Contract. The Owner may also direct a
transfer of assets from the fixed portion of the Contract to one or more
sub-accounts of the Variable Account. Such a transfer request must be in
writing. Amounts transferred to the sub-account(s) will purchase Accumulation
Units as described in the last paragraph of Section 1.02.
The minimum transfer amount is $500 or the entire amount in the
sub-account/fixed portion, whichever is less. If after the transfer the amount
remaining under this Contract in the sub-account/fixed portion from which the
transfer is taken is less than $100, the entire amount held in that
sub-account/fixed portion will be transferred with the transfer amount. The
transfer is subject to any applicable transfer charge. There may not be more
than one transfer in any thirty day period. LNL reserves the right to limit the
number of transfers.
For transfers between sub-accounts and from the sub-account(s) to the fixed
portion of the Contract, there are no restrictions on the maximum amount which
may be transferred. For transfers from the fixed portion of the Contract to the
Variable Account, the sum of the percentages of fixed value transferred will be
limited to 25% in any 12 month period.
ARTICLE 2 BENEFITS
2.01 ANNUITY PAYMENTS
An election to receive proceeds under an Annuity Payment Option must be made by
the Maturity Date.
If an Annuity Payment Option is not chosen prior to the Maturity Date, annuity
payments will commence on the Maturity Date under the Annuity Payment Option
providing a Life Annuity with Annuity Payments guaranteed for 10 years.
However, upon written request by the Owner and any Beneficiary who cannot be
changed, the Maturity Date may be deferred. If the new Maturity Date extends
beyond age 85, LNL reserves the right to restrict the availability of certain
Annuity Payment Options.
2.02 CHOICE OF ANNUITY PAYMENT OPTION
BY OWNER
While the Annuitant is alive, the Owner may choose any Annuity Payment Option or
change any choice, if that right has been reserved, but only before the Maturity
Date. The election must be made not later than thirty days prior to the Maturity
Date.
BY BENEFICIARY
At the time proceeds are payable, a Beneficiary may choose or change any Annuity
Payment Option if proceeds are available to the Beneficiary in one sum.
Page 5
A choice or change must be in writing to LNL.
2.03 ANNUITY PAYMENT OPTIONS
a) Life Annuity, Guaranteed Period - Payments will be made for life with no
certain period or life and a 10 year certain period or life and a 20 year
certain period.
b) Unit Refund Life Annuity - An annuity payable monthly during the lifetime
of the Annuitant, terminating with the last payment due prior to the death
of the Annuitant, provided that, at such death, the Beneficiary will
receive an additional payment of the then dollar value of the number of
Annuity Units equal to the excess, if any, of (a) over (b) where (a) is the
total amount applied under the option divided by the Annuity Unit Value at
the Annuity Commencement ▇▇▇▇ and (b) is the product of the number of
Annuity Units represented by each payment and the number of payments made.
c) Joint Life Annuity, Guaranteed Period - Payments will be made for life with
no certain period or life and a 10 year certain period or life and a 20
year certain period. Payments will be made during the joint life of the
Annuitant and a Joint Annuitant of the Annuitant's choice. Payments
continue for the life of the survivor at the death of the Annuitant or
Joint Annuitant.
d) Other options may be available as agreed upon by LNL.
At the time Annuity Payments start under the provisions of this Contract, the
Owner may elect to have the total value applied to provide a variable annuity, a
fixed annuity, or a combination fixed and variable annuity. If no election is
made the value of the Annuitant's Variable Account shall be used to provide a
variable annuity, and the value of the Annuitant's fixed allocations shall be
used to provide a fixed annuity.
The amount of Annuity Payment will depend on the age and sex of the Annuitant at
the time the first payment is due. A choice may be made to receive payments once
each month, four times each year, twice each year, or once each year. The value
used to effect benefit payments for an Annuitant will be calculated as of the
fourteenth day prior to the date benefit payments start.
The payment amounts shown in the option tables in Article 5 will be used to
determine the first monthly payment under a variable payment option. The tables
show the dollar amount of the first monthly payment which can be purchased with
each $1,000 of Account Value, after deduction of any applicable premium taxes.
Amounts shown use the 1971 Individual Annuity Mortality Table, modified, with a
guaranteed rate of return of 5% per year.
The payment amounts shown in the option tables in Article 6 will be used to
determine the monthly payments under a fixed payment option. The tables show the
dollar amount of the monthly payments which can be purchased with each $1,000 of
account value, after deduction of any applicable premium taxes. Amounts shown
use the 1971 Individual Annuity Mortality Table, modified, with a guaranteed
rate of return of 3 1/2% per year.
The following shall apply only in situations where the provisions of the
Retirement Equity Act of 1984 are required:
If the Beneficiary or Joint Annuitant is the Annuitant's spouse, then under the
Annuity Payment Option elected, the present value of the payments projected to
be made to the Annuitant must equal more than 50% of the present value of the
total payments projected to be made to the Annuitant and the Beneficiary or
Joint Annuitant. The present value of such projected payments shall be
determined on the basis of the actuarial assumptions used by LNL in determining
the amount of annuity payments.
2.04 DETERMINATION OF THE AMOUNT OF VARIABLE ANNUITY PAYMENTS AFTER THE FIRST
Each Variable Annuity Payment after the first will be determined by multiplying
the Annuity Unit Value of the date each payment is due by a constant number of
Annuity Units. This constant is determined by dividing the amount of the first
payment by the Annuity Unit Value for the date the first payment is due.
The Annuity Unit Value for any Valuation Period for any sub-account is
determined by multiplying the Annuity Unit Value for the immediately preceding
Valuation Period by the product of (a) 0.999856337 raised to a power equal to
the number of days in the current Valuation Period and (b) the Net Investment
Factor of the sub-account for the Valuation Period containing the fourteenth day
prior to the last day of the current Valuation Period.
The valuation of all assets in the sub-account shall be determined in accordance
with the provisions of applicable laws, rules, and regulations. The method of
determination by LNL of the value of an Accumulation Unit and of an Annuity Unit
will be conclusive upon the Annuitant and any Beneficiary.
LNL guarantees that the dollar amount of each installment after the first shall
not be affected by variations in mortality experience from mortality
assumptions on which the first installment is based.
2.05 PROOF OF AGE
Annuity Payment will be subject to proof of age that LNL will accept.
Page 6
2.06 AMOUNT REQUIREMENTS FOR ANNUITY PAYMENT OPTIONS AND PAYMENTS
If the Annuity Payment Option chosen results in payments of less than $50 per
sub-account, the frequency will be changed so that payments will be at least
$50.
2.07 EVIDENCE OF SURVIVAL
LNL has the right to ask for proof that the person on whom the payment is based
is alive when each payment is due.
2.08 CHANGE IN ANNUITY PAYMENT
Changes in Annuity Payments may not be made after Annuity Payments commence.
2.09 ASSIGNMENT
This Contract or any portion of this contract may not be assigned except
pursuant to a Domestic Relations Order issued by court of proper jurisdiction
for any non-qualified Contract or pursuant to a Qualified Domestic Relations
Order, as defined under the Internal Revenue Code.
2.10 ACCOUNT VALUE
The Account Value is the Value of all Accumulation Units held in the name of the
Owner in the Variable Account plus the value of the fixed portion of the
Contract.
2.11 ACCOUNT CHARGE
On the last business day of each Contract Year, LNL will deduct $25.00 from the
Account Value. At surrender the Account Charge will be deducted from the Account
Value. If the Owner has elected more than one sub-account, the deduction of the
Account Charge shall be taken from each sub-account on a pro-rata basis. Each
sub-account will be adjusted by an amount equal to a fraction of the charge.
The fraction is equal to "a" divided by "b", where a is the Account Value of the
sub-account and "b" is the value of all sub-accounts under the Contract. The
fraction for each sub-account is applied to the deduction to determine each
sub-account's deduction.
For the purposes of this Section, the fixed portion of the Contract is
considered a sub-account.
2.12 SURRENDER OPTION
The Owner may surrender this Contract for its surrender value. On surrender,
this Contract terminates. Surrender will be effective on date on which LNL has
receives a written request at its Home Office. The surrender value will be the
total Account Value less a Surrender Charge and less the Account Charge.
The Surrender Charge is calculated as a percentage of the Purchase Payments
surrendered. This percentage is based on the number of completed Contract
Years between the Contract Year of Purchase Payment and the Contract Year of
surrender/withdrawal as shown in the following schedule. The Surrender Charge
is calculated separately for each Contract Year's Purchase Payments.

Surrender/Withdrawal Charge as a % of Total

A Contract Year is the period from the Contract effective date (month and Day)
to the anniversary of the Contract effective date in the following year.
Any payment will be by check and mailed from LNL's Home Office within seven days
after receipt of the surrender request: however, LNL may be permitted to defer
such payment under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as in effect at the time
a request for surrender is received. Interest will be credited to money in the
fixed portion of this contract during the deferral period. The Surrender Option
is not available atter Annuity Payments have begun.
Any Account Value payable as a result of annuitization, total and permanent
disability of the Annuitant subsequent to the effective date of this Contract
and prior to the 65th birthday of the Annuitant, or death of the Annuitant
will not be subject to the Surrender Charges. Total and permanent disability
is defined as the inability to engage in any substantial gainful activity by
reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can
be expected to result in death or which has lasted or can be expected to last
for a continuous period of not less than twelve months. LNL must be furnished
with proof of the existence thereof by way of a physician's statement.
2.13 WITHDRAWAL OPTION
The Owner may withdraw a part of the surrender value of this Contract, subject
to the charges outlined under Surrender Option 2.12. The first partial
withdrawal in any Contract Year up to 15% of Purchase Payments will be free of
charges.
The Surrender Charge is calculated separately for each Contract Year's Purchase
Payments. For Surrender Charge purposes, LNL assumes that Purchase Payments are
withdrawn on a "first in-first out (FIFO)" basis, and that all Purchase Payments
are withdrawn before any earnings are withdrawn.
Page 7
Withdrawal will be effective on the valuation date on which or next following
the date LNL receives a written request at its Home Office. The minimum
withdrawal is $100. If any withdrawal reduces the total Account Value to less
than $000, LNL may surrender the Contract for its value. The remaining value
will be subject to the charges as provided under Surrender Option. The request
should specify from which sub-account the withdrawal will be made. If no sub-
account is specified, LNL will withdraw, on a prorata basis from each
sub-account, the amount requested. Any payment will be by check and mailed from
LNL's Home Office within seven days after the date of withdrawal; however, LNL
may be permitted to defer such payment under the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as in effect at the time such request for withdrawal is received. The
Withdrawal Option is not available after Annuity Payments have begun.
For purposes of this Section, the fixed portion of the Contract is considered a
sub-account.
2.14 DISTRIBUTIONS FROM IRC SECTION 403(b)
Pursuant to requirements of The Tax Reform Act of 1986, section 1123(c)(1)
amending IRC Section 403(b), effective January 1,1989:

disabled. The term disabled shall be as defined in the plan, or in the
absence of such definition, as defined in IRC Section 72(m)(7), or
- you experience a case of hardship. Hardship shall be determined by the
employer, plan administrator, trustee, or person performing similar
functions. In the case of hardship distributions, only your
contributions, and not the income attributable to your contributions,
may be distributed.
2.15 DEATH OF ANNUITANT
On receipt of due proof of the death of the Annuitant before a choice is made to
receive proceeds under an Annuity Payment Option, LNL will pay to the
Beneficiary the value of the Contract as of the day on which written notice of
death is received by LNL. Due proof of death shall be either a certified copy of
the certificate of death, a certified copy of the statement of death from the
attending physician, a certified copy of a decree of a court of competent
jurisdiction as to the finding of death, or any other proof satisfactory to
LNL.
On receipt of due proof of death of the Annuitant after Annuity Payments have
begun under an Annuity Payment Option, if any Annuity Payments remain under the
Option they will be paid to the Beneficiary as provided by the Option.
Unless otherwise provided in the Beneficiary designation, if no Beneficiary
survives the Annuitant, the proceeds will be paid in one sum to the Owner, if
living; otherwise, to to the Owner's estate.
If the Beneficiary designated at the Annuitant's death is a surviving spouse,
the Contract may be continued in the name of the spouse as the Annuitant.
For a Beneficiary other than a spouse, if the Annuitant dies before Annuity
Payments have begun under this Contract, the proceeds must be distributed to the
designated Beneficiary within five years of the death of the Annuitant.
For a Beneficiary other than a spouse, if the Annuitant dies after Annuity
Payments have begun under this Contract the remaining portion of the Annuitant's
interest must either be distributed at least as rapidly as under the method of
distribution being used as of the date of the Annuitant's death or distributed
over the life of the Beneficiary or a period not extending beyond the life
expectancy of the Beneficiary. The distribution of these amounts must begin not
later than one year after the Annuitant's death.
2.16 DEATH OF CONTRACT OWNER
If the owner of a non-qualified contract dies before annuity payments have
begun, then in accordance with the provisions or Section 72(s) of the Internal
Revenue Code (IRC), the Cash Surrender Value (proceeds) of the Contract will be
paid as follows:
- Upon the death of a non-annuitant owner, the proceeds shall be paid to
any surviving joint or contingent owner.
- If no joint or contingent owner has been named, then the proceeds shall
be paid to the annuitant named in the Contract.
If the decedent owner or joint owner is also the annuitant, then the death will
be treated as death of the annuitant subject to the provisions of this Contract
regarding death of annuitant.
If the recipient of the proceeds is the surviving spouse, such surviving spouse
shall be deemed as having held the Contract with rights of survivorship and the
Contract may be continued in the name of such spouse as owner.
In accordance with IRC Section 72(s), any distribution must be paid within 5
years of the death of the owner unless the beneficiary begins receiving, within
one year of the Contract Owner's death, the distribution in the form of a life
annuity or an annuity for a period certain not exceeding the beneficiary's life
expectancy.
2.17 JOINT/CONTINGENT OWNERSHIP
If joint owners are named in the application such joint owners shall be treated
as having equal undivided
Page 8

of interest to the Annuitant's account on a daily basis. Values shown are based
upon contributions equally spaced with interest occurring at the beginning of
the year.
