conditions of such plans.

 

  16. The Company hereby waives compliance beginning on and after the

option agreements, LTIP awards, or any other equity awards or equity agreements.
Ms. Reeves agrees that for a period of six (6) months following the Termination

or otherwise modify in a manner materially adverse to Ms. Reeves the provisions
of LFG’s articles of incorporation and/or bylaws with respect to exculpation,

insurance policy that provides coverage with respect to actions taken or
omissions on or prior to the date hereof and covenants and agrees, for the six

does not treat Reeves in a disproportionate manner as compared with the other
directors and officers of the Company.

 

  18. Ms. Reeves, for and in consideration of the above, waives any right to
personal recovery and hereby irrevocably, unconditionally and generally

law, LFG from all complaints, actions, causes of actions, suits, rights,
grievances, costs, losses, debts, expenses, sums of money, amounts, covenants,
contracts, agreements, claims, damages, liabilities, obligations, and demands of
any nature whatsoever, known or unknown, in law or in equity (“Claim” or

or held or claimed to have had, owned, or held or which Ms. Reeves now has,
owns, or hold, or claims to have, own, or hold, or which Ms. Reeves can, shall

representatives, successors, or assigns hereinafter can, shall or may have, in
any way connected with or relating to Ms. Reeves’ employment and/or the
termination of her employment with LFG; provided, however, that nothing in this
Agreement shall constitute a waiver of any Claims arising after the date
Ms. Reeves signs this Agreement. The waivers in this Agreement shall not waive
Ms. Reeves’s rights respecting LFG’s obligations under this Agreement, her
rights as a shareholder, or her rights as a policyholder of any policies issued
by LFG.

 

  19.

The Claims covered by the paragraph above and this Agreement include, but are

arising under the statutory or common laws of the United States. The Claims
covered by the paragraph above and this Agreement include, but are not limited
to, and claims for wages, severance, bonuses, commissions or compensation of any
kind, expense reimbursements, and Claims for pain and suffering or emotional
distress, as well as any Claims for attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses. It is
the Parties’ intention that the language relating to the description of the
Claims in this Agreement shall be accorded the broadest possible interpretation.
Ms. Reeves represents and agrees by signing below that she has not been denied
any leave or benefit requested, has received the appropriate pay for all hours
worked for LFG, except as provided in this Agreement, and has no known workplace
injuries or occupational diseases. Other than the consideration set forth
herein, Ms. Reeves further affirms that she has been paid and/or has received
all leave (paid or unpaid), compensation, wages, benefits, bonuses and/or
commissions to which she may be entitled and that no other leave (paid or
unpaid), compensation, wages, benefits, bonuses and/or commissions are due to
Ms. Reeves, except as provided in this Agreement.

 

  20. Ms. Reeves knowingly and voluntarily specifically waives any rights or
claims arising under 29 U.S.C. §621 et seq., as amended by the OWBPA and, more
specifically, any right or claims under 29 U.S.C. §626. Ms. Reeves specifically
states and acknowledges that:

 

  A. This waiver is part of an Agreement written in a manner calculated to be
understood by her.

 

  B. She does not waive rights or claims that may arise after the date that this
Agreement is executed.

 

  C. She is receiving consideration in addition to anything of value to which
she would already have been entitled prior to executing this Agreement.

 

  D. She has been and is hereby advised, in writing, to consult an attorney
prior to executing this Agreement

 

  E. She further acknowledges that she has been given a period of at least
twenty-one (21) days within which to consider this Agreement.

 

  21. For a period of seven (7) days following the execution of this Agreement,
Ms. Reeves may revoke this Agreement by actual written notice to LFG. Such
revocation shall be considered received upon actual receipt by LFG only.
Following the successful expiration of this seven (7) day period, this document
shall become final and binding on the parties. Further, this Agreement shall not
become effective or enforceable until the revocation period has expired without
Ms. Reeves’ acceptance having been revoked with the seven day period.

 

  22. Ms. Reeves warrants and represents that in executing this document she
does so with full knowledge of any and all rights, which she may have with
respect to all matters released. Ms. Reeves further understands, acknowledges
and agrees that the payment of any consideration is not an admission of
liability on the part of LFG, but to the contrary, represents a negotiated
compromise and agreement. This Agreement shall not in any way be interpreted to
render Ms. Reeves a “prevailing party” for any purpose, including, but not
limited to, an award of attorney’s fees under any statute or otherwise.

 

  23. If Ms. Reeves re-applies for employment with LFG after the Effective Date
of this Agreement, LFG, in its sole and exclusive discretion, may either accept
or refuse the application without incurring any liability of any type
whatsoever, based on this Agreement. Ms. Reeves agrees that any refusal or
failure by LFG to employ or re-employ Ms. Reeves shall not be unlawful
retaliation or discrimination against Ms. Reeves.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  24. Ms. Reeves represents that she has not filed any complaints or claims
against LFG with any state or federal court, that Ms. Reeves will not do so at
any time hereafter for Claims released by this Agreement, and that if any such
court assumes jurisdiction of any complaint or claim against LFG, she will
immediately request such court to dismiss the matter and take all such
additional steps necessary to facilitate such dismissal with prejudice. As a
further material inducement to LFG to enter into this Agreement, Ms. Reeves
covenants and agrees not to sue, or join with others in suing, LFG on any of the
released Claims. By signing this Agreement Ms. Reeves waives her right to
recover any damages or other relief in any claims or suit brought by or through
the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or any other state or local agency
on her behalf under any federal, state, or municipal discrimination law, except
where prohibited by law. Ms. Reeves agrees to release and discharge LFG not only
from any and all claims which she could make on her own behalf but also
specifically waives any right to become, and promises not to become, a member of
any class in any proceeding or case in which a claim or claims against LFG may
arise, in whole or in part, from any event which occurred as of the date of this
Agreement, except where prohibited by law. Ms. Reeves acknowledges that this
Release does not prevent her from filing a charge of discrimination with any
federal, state or local agency or commission, although by signing this Release
she waives any right to recover any damages or other relief in any claim or suit
brought by or through any federal, state, or local agency.

 

  25. As a result of Ms. Reeves’s position as Senior Vice President, and her
service on LFG’s Senior Management Committee, she has been instrumental in
developing the strategic direction of LFG’s corporate development and has
participated in the development of LFG’s overall strategic direction. She also
has developed, obtained or learned specific confidential information and trade
secrets which are the property of LFG. Ms. Reeves hereby covenants and agrees to
use her best efforts and utmost diligence to guard and protect such confidential
information and trade secrets and to not disclose or permit to be disclosed to
any third party by any method whatsoever any such confidential information or
trade secrets. Confidential information or trade secrets shall include, but not
be limited to, any and all records, notes, memoranda, data, ideas, processes,
methods, devices, programs, computer software, writings, research, personnel
information, customer information, financial information, plans or any
information of whatever nature, in the possession or control of LFG which has
not or have not bee published or disclosed to the general public or which gives
LFG an opportunity to obtain an advantage over competitors who do not know or
use it. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each party
to this Agreement (and each affiliate, officer, employee, director, advisor,
representative, or other agent of such party) is, and has been from commencement
of discussions, permitted to disclose to any and all persons, without limitation
of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and all ancillary documents (including, without
limitation, opinions or other tax analyses) relating to such tax treatment and
tax structure. By signing this Agreement, Ms. Reeves confirms and agrees that
she will not use or disclose confidential information or trade secrets as
defined above.

 

  26. Ms. Reeves agrees that neither she nor any entity directly or indirectly
controlled by her will directly or indirectly participate in a proscribed
activity. A “proscribed activity” through May 30, 2010, shall mean either
(1) soliciting others to invest in the common stock of LNC for the purpose of
effecting an acquisition of control of LNC or her directly investing in more
than one percent (1%) of the common stock of LNC, or (2) using confidential
information or trade secrets (as described above) to assist any person, entity
or group of persons which intends to or does attempt to effect an acquisition of
control of LNC. The term “Control” shall be defined for purposes of this
paragraph to have the meaning of control contained in Ind. Code Ann.
§27-1-23-1(e) [Burns Supplement].

 

  27.

Ms. Reeves, due to the knowledge and information she possesses gained as a
result of her employment with LFG hereby agrees to make herself available, at
reasonable times, to cooperate, consult, testify, etc. with respect to current
and future legal actions, including, but not limited to litigation,
arbitrations, mediation, administrative, and/or regulatory proceedings in which
LFG is

a party. LFG will pay Ms. Reeves for the reasonable value of her time and
reasonable expenses incurred with respect to any action in which Ms. Reeves is
not a plaintiff, claimant or counterclaimant, with the express understanding
that any such payment is not made for or as an inducement to the substance of
testimony. The Company’s only expectation with regard to any testimony is that
Ms. Reeves testifies truthfully. The parties agree that the reasonable value of
her time will be based on her last base salary at LFG.

 

  28. Ms. Reeves warrants and represents that no other person or entity has any
interest in the matters released and that she has not assigned or transferred or
purported to assign or transfer to any person or entity all or any portion of
the matters released.

 

  29. Ms. Reeves represents and acknowledges that she is not relying and has not
relied on any representation or statements made by LFG with respect to any of
the matters released or with regard to her rights or asserted rights in
connection with this Agreement. Ms. Reeves hereby assumes the risk of any
mistake of fact with regard to any of the matters released or with regard to any
of the facts which are now unknown to her relating thereto.

 

  30. Ms. Reeves represents and agrees that she shall not communicate the terms
of this Agreement or disclose any information concerning this Agreement, or any
information discussed by the parties in negotiation of this Agreement to any
person, corporation, or other entity for any purpose whatsoever without prior
written permission from LFG, except to the extent necessary to Ms. Reeves’s
immediate family members, attorney, tax preparer, accountant, or other financial
advisor, or as required by law.

 

  31. If Ms. Reeves fails to comply with any material terms of this Agreement
and does not cure such failure within fifteen (15) days after written notice by
LFG to Ms. Reeves of such failure, then LFG can thereafter immediately cease any
continuing benefits of this Agreement, in addition to any other remedies LFG may
have pursuant to this Agreement or under law; provided however, that this
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and the consideration supporting
this Agreement shall be deemed adequate as long as Ms. Reeves will have received
at least fourteen (14) weeks of separation pay.

 

  32. This Agreement may not be introduced into evidence or relied upon by
either party in subsequent legal proceedings, other than proceedings arising out
of this Agreement or to the extent required by law or the rules of any
regulatory body.

 

  33. This Agreement shall be binding upon Ms. Reeves and upon her heirs,
executors, administrators, personal representatives, successors, and assigns,
and shall inure to the benefit of LFG and to its respective heirs,
administrators, representatives, executors, successors, and assigns.

 

  34. Except as required by law or subpoena, Ms. Reeves shall not make any
public statements regarding her employment (other than factual statements
concerning the dates of her employment and positions held) or her retirement and
resignation, or the Agreement that are not agreed to by LFG, such approval not
to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, (b) Ms. Reeves shall not disparage LFG,
or any of its subsidiaries, its and their respective Boards of Directors,
members thereof and senior management, and (c) LFG will ensure that no executive
officers or directors of the Company disparage Ms. Reeves.

 

  35. All payments and benefits under this Agreement shall be made and provided
in a manner that is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code, to the
extent applicable. Ms. Reeves and LFG agree that if Ms. Reeves concludes in good
faith on the advice of counsel that the rights granted hereby should be altered
to comply with Section 409A of the Code, Ms. Reeves and LFG will use reasonable
best efforts to agree to amendments to this Agreement to comply with
Section 409A of the Code; provided that this sentence shall not be construed as
an indemnification with respect to any liability under Section 409A of the Code.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  36. This Agreement is made and entered into in the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania, and shall in all respects be interpreted, enforced and governed
under the internal laws (and not the conflicts of laws rules) of said
Commonwealth. If any provision of this Agreement or the application of this
Agreement is construed to be overbroad, illegal, or contrary to public policy,
then the court shall have the authority to narrow or amend the provision as
necessary to make it enforceable and the provision shall then be enforceable in
its narrowed or amended form. Moreover, should any provision of this Agreement
be declared or determined to be null, void, inoperative, illegal or invalid for
any reason, the validity of the remaining parts, terms or provisions shall not
be affected, and they shall retain their full force and effect. The null, void,
inoperative, illegal or invalid part, term, or provision shall be deemed not to
be a part of this Agreement. As used in this Agreement, the singular or plural
number shall be deemed to include the other whenever the context so indicates or
requires. The language of all parts of this Agreement shall in all cases be
construed as a whole, according to its fair meaning, and not strictly for or
against any of the parties.

 

  37. Ms. Reeves represents and warrants that she has or within sixty (60) days

Agreement may not be modified or amended by the parties except by a written
agreement signed by the parties hereto.
