(1) Effective May 1, 2000 through October 31, 2000, Delaware Management Company,

    Series for expenses such that total expenses (excluding any taxes, interest,
    brokerage fees, extraordinary expenses and 12b-1 fees) will not exceed
    0.85%. Without such an arrangement, total operating expenses for the Service
    Class would have been 1.11%. The Service Class shares are subject to an
    annual 12b-1 fee of not more than 0.30% (currently set at 0.15%).

(2) Service Class 2 expenses are based on estimated expenses for the first year.

    exceed in the aggregate, 1.0% of the AMT Mid-Cap Growth Portfolio's average
    daily net asset value. Absent such reimbursement, Total Annual Expenses for
    the portfolio for the year ended December 31, 1999 would have been 1.08%.

Item 26.  Persons Controlled by or Under Common Control with Lincoln Life &
Annuity Company of New York ("LLANY") or the Lincoln Life & Annuity Variable
Annuity Account L.

Lincoln Life & Annuity Variable Annuity Account L is a separate account of LLANY
and may be deemed to be controlled by LLANY although LLANY will follow voting
instructions of Contractholders with respect to voting on certain important
matters requiring a vote of Contractholders.


See Exhibit 15(a): The Organizational Chart of Lincoln National Life Insurance
Holding Company System is hereby incorporated herein by this reference.

                                      C-3
<PAGE>

Item 27.  Number of Contractholders


As of June 30, 2000, Registrant had 214 Contractholders.

Item 28.  Indemnification

Under the Participation Agreements entered into between LLANY and the
Dreyfus Life & Annuity Index Fund, Inc., Dreyfus Variable Investment Fund and
Dreyfus Corporation, Variable Insurance Products Funds I and II and Fidelity
Distributors Corporation, Twentieth Century Management Company, and T. Rowe
Price (the "Funds"), LLANY and its directors, officers, employees, agents and
control persons have been indemnified by the Funds against any losses, claims or
liabilities that arise out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
or omission of a material fact in the Funds' registration statements,
prospectuses or sales literature. In addition, the Funds will indemnify LLANY
against any liability, loss, damages, costs or expenses which LLANY may incur as
a result of the Funds' incorrect calculations, incorrect reporting and/or
untimely reporting of the Funds' net asset values, dividend rates or capital
gain distribution rates.

Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of
1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act
of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Item 29.  Principal Underwriter

(a)    Lincoln Financial Advisors Corporation also acts as the principal
       underwriter for Lincoln National Variable Annuity Account L, the VA
       Separate Account of UNUM Life Insurance Company of America, and the VA-I
       Separate Account OF First UNUM Life Insurance Company.
