CURIANGARDSM SIMPLIFIED RETIREMENT ANNUITY

MODIFIED SINGLE PREMIUM FIXED AND VARIABLE DEFERRED ANNUITY

Issued by
Jackson National Life Insurance Company® and through
Jackson National Separate Account – I

Effective April 6, 2009, this Curiangard Simplified Retirement Annuity is no longer available for purchase.

The date of this prospectus is April 30, 2012 , which states the information about the separate account, the Contract, and Jackson National Life Insurance Company (“Jackson®”) you should know before investing.  This prospectus provides a description of the material rights and obligations under the Contract.  Your Contract and any endorsements are the formal contractual agreement between you and the Company.  It is important that you read the Contract and endorsements, which reflect state or other variations. This information is meant to help you decide if the Contract will meet your needs.  Please carefully read this prospectus and any related documents and keep everything together for future reference.  Additional information about the separate account can be found in the statement of additional information (“SAI”) dated April 30, 2012 that is available upon request without charge.  To obtain a copy, contact us at our:

Annuity Service Center
P.O. Box 30314

This prospectus also describes a variety of optional features, not all of which may be available at the time you are interested in purchasing a Contract, as we reserve the right to prospectively restrict availability of the optional features.  Broker-dealers selling the Contracts may limit the availability of an optional feature.  Ask your representative about what optional features are or are not offered.  If a particular optional feature that interests you is not offered, you may want to contact another broker-dealer to explore its availability.  In addition, not all optional features may be available in combination with other optional features, as we also currently restrict, as well as reserve the right to prospectively restrict, the availability to elect certain features if certain other optional features have been elected.  We reserve the right to limit the number of Contracts that you may purchase.  We also reserve the right to refuse any premium payment.  Some optional features, including certain living benefits and death benefits, contain withdrawal restrictions that, if exceeded, may have a significant negative impact on the value of the feature and may cause the feature to prematurely terminate.  Please confirm with us or your representative that you have the most current prospectus and supplements to the prospectus that describe the availability and any restrictions on the optional features.

We offer other variable annuity products with different product features, benefits and charges.  In some states, you may purchase the Contract through an automated electronic transmission/order ticket verification procedure.  Ask your representative about availability and the details.

The SAI is incorporated by reference into this prospectus, and its table of contents begins on page 51.  The prospectus and SAI are part of the registration statement that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) about this securities offering.  The registration statement, material incorporated by reference, and other information is available on the website the SEC maintains (http://www.sec.gov) regarding registrants that make electronic filings.

Jackson is relying on SEC Rule 12h-7, which exempts insurance companies from filing periodic reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 with respect to variable annuity contracts that are registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and regulated as insurance under state law.


Neither the SEC nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved the securities offered through this prospectus disclosure.  It is a criminal offense to represent otherwise.  We do not intend for this prospectus to be an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy these securities in any state where this is not permitted. 


 
 • Not FDIC/NCUA insured • Not Bank/CU guaranteed • May lose value • Not a deposit • Not insured by any federal agency

JNL Series Trust
 
JNL Disciplined Moderate Fund
JNL Disciplined Moderate Growth Fund
JNL Disciplined Growth Fund

The Funds are not the same mutual funds that you would buy through your stockbroker or a retail mutual fund.  The prospectus for the Funds is attached to this prospectus.

GLOSSARY
 
These terms are capitalized when used throughout this prospectus because they have special meaning.  In reading this prospectus, please refer back to this glossary if you have any questions about these terms.
 
 
Accumulation Unit – a unit of measure we use to calculate the value in an Investment Division prior to the Income Date.
 
Aggregate Premium - the measure used to determine the applicable breakpoint for the amount of the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge.  Aggregate Premium at issue is the amount of premium you expect to contribute that you specify when you apply for the Contract (Statement of Intention), and thereafter the actual premium you paid less total partial withdrawals as computed at the end of the sixth Contract Month.  Premiums are accepted only during the first six Contract Months.
 
Annuitant the natural person on whose life annuity payments for this Contract are based.  The Contract allows for the naming of joint Annuitants.  Any reference to the Annuitant includes any joint Annuitant.
 
Annuity Unit – a unit of measure we use in calculating the value of a variable annuity payment on and after the Income Date.
 
Beneficiary – the natural person or legal entity designated to receive any Contract benefits upon the Owner's death.  The Contract allows for the naming of multiple Beneficiaries.
 
Completed Year – the succeeding twelve months from the date on which we receive a premium payment.
 
Contract – the individual modified single premium deferred variable and fixed annuity contract and any optional endorsements you may have selected.
 
Contract Anniversary – each one-year anniversary of the Contract's Issue Date.
 
Contract Monththe period of time between consecutive monthly anniversaries of the Contract’s Issue date.
 
Contract Quarter – the period of time between consecutive three-month anniversaries of the Contract's Issue Date.
 
Contract Value – the sum of your allocations between the Contract's Investment Divisions and Fixed Account.
 
Contract Year – the succeeding twelve months from a Contract's Issue Date and every anniversary.
 
Excess Interest Adjustment – an adjustment to the Contract Value allocated to the Fixed Account that is withdrawn, transferred, or annuitized before the end of the period.
 
Fixed Account – part of our General Account to which the Contract Value you allocate is guaranteed to earn a stated rate of return over the specified period.
 
General Account – the General Account includes all our assets, including any Contract Value you allocate to the Fixed Account, which are available to our creditors.
 
Good Order – when our administrative requirements are met for any requested action or change, including that we have received sufficient supporting documentation.
 
Income Date – the date on which you begin receiving annuity payments.
 
Issue Date – the date your Contract is issued.
 
Investment Division – one of multiple variable options of the Separate Account to allocate your Contract's value, each of which exclusively invests in a different available Fund.  The Investment Divisions are called variable because the return on investment is not guaranteed.
 
Jackson, JNL, we, our, or us – Jackson National Life Insurance Company.  (We do not capitalize “we,” “our,” or “us” in the prospectus.)
 
Owner, you or your – the natural person or legal entity entitled to exercise all rights and privileges under the Contract.  Usually, but not always, the Owner is the Annuitant.  The Contract allows for the naming of joint Owners.  (We do not capitalize “you” or “your” in the prospectus.)  Any reference to the Owner includes any joint Owner.
 
Separate Account – Jackson National Separate Account – I.  The Separate Account is divided into sub-accounts generally referred to as Investment Divisions.
 
Statement of Intention – the amount of total premium that you anticipate paying and specify in the annuity application when you apply for the Contract.  The higher your anticipated total premium, the lower your Contract's initial Mortality and Expense Risk Charge will be for the first six months.  Premiums are accepted during the first six Contract Months only.

Free Look
If you change your mind about having purchased the Contract, you may return it without penalty.  There are conditions and limitations, including time limitations, depending on where you live.  For more information, please see “Free Look” beginning on page 49.  In some states, we are required to hold the premiums of a senior citizen in the Fixed Account during the free look period, unless we are specifically directed to allocate the premiums to the Investment Divisions.  State laws vary; your free look rights will depend on the laws of the state in which you purchased the Contract.

Premiums are accepted during the first six Contract Months only.  As a result, you may have to buy additional Contracts to meet your total annuity coverage goal.  Multiple Contracts may result in higher charges and total expenses.  There are also minimum and maximum premium requirements.  In addition, the Contract has a premium protection option, namely the Capital Protection Program.  For more information, please see “PURCHASES” beginning on page 20.  There is a breakpoint schedule for the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge.  The breakpoints are based on the amount of Aggregate Premium.  Aggregate Premium at issue is equal to the anticipated total premium specified in the Statement of Intention section of the annuity application.  If no Statement of Intention is provided, the Aggregate Premium at issue will equal the initial premium received.  The Aggregate Premium is re-determined only at the end of the sixth Contract Month and is equal to total Premium actually paid less total partial withdrawals.  A change in the Aggregate Premium at the end of the sixth Contract Month may dictate an adjustment to the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge at that time but in no event will the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge be adjusted for changes in Aggregate Premium or Contract value subsequent to this initial six Contract Month period.  For more information, please see “CONTRACT CHARGES” beginning on page 13.
 
     
 
Withdrawals
Before the Income Date, there are a number of ways to access your Contract Value, generally subject to a charge or adjustment, particularly during the early Contract Years.  There are also a number of optional withdrawal benefits available.  The Contract has a free withdrawal provision and waives the charges and adjustments in the event of some unforeseen emergencies.  However, partial withdrawals within the first six Contract Months may result in a change to the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge assessed after the sixth Contract Month.  For more information, please see “ACCESS TO YOUR MONEY” beginning on page 23.
     
 
Income Payments
There are a number of income options available.  For more information, please see “INCOME PAYMENTS (THE INCOME PHASE)” beginning on page 41.
     
 
Death Benefit
The Contract has a death benefit that becomes payable if you die before the Income Date.  There are also optional death benefits available.  For more information, please see “DEATH BENEFIT” beginning on page 43.

This charge is waived on Contract Value of $50,000 or more.  This charge is deducted proportionally from your allocations to the Investment Divisions and Fixed Account either annually (on your Contract Anniversary) or in conjunction with a total withdrawal, as applicable.

6
Premiums are accepted only during the first six Contract Months. The Aggregate Premium re-determined at the end of the sixth Contract Month is equal to total Premium paid less total partial withdrawals.  Any resulting increase or decrease in the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge assessed after the sixth Contract Month will not be retroactive back to the issue date of the Contract.  Therefore, any decrease in the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge caused by the payment of additional premium subsequent to the Contract issue date will become effective only after the sixth Contract month and will not be retroactive back to the issue date.

 
If the Contract Owner dies prior to the end of the sixth Contract Month, there will not be an adjustment to the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge.

7
The optional death benefits are only available to select when purchasing the Contract and once purchased cannot be canceled.  In addition, the charges for the optional death benefits are based on average account value but the charges for the optional GMWBs are not.  Please see footnotes 8 –10 below and “CONTRACT CHARGES” beginning on page 13 for more information concerning those charges not based on average account value.

The charge is quarterly, currently 0.1625% (0.65% annually) of the GWB, subject to a maximum annual charge of 1.45%.  But for Contracts purchased in Washington State, the charge is monthly, currently 0.055% (0.66% annually) of the GWB, subject to a maximum annual charge of 1.47% as used in the Table.  We reserve the right to prospectively change the current charge: on new Contracts; if you select this benefit after your Contract is issued; or with a step-up that you request (not on step-ups that are automatic) – subject to the applicable maximum annual charge.

 
The GWB is the guaranteed amount available for future periodic withdrawals.  If you select a GMWB when you purchase your Contract, the GWB is generally your initial premium payment, net of taxes and adjusted for any subsequent premium payments and withdrawals.  If the GMWB is elected after the issue date, the GWB is generally your Contract Value on the date the endorsement is added, adjusted for any subsequent premium payments and withdrawals.

 
The charge is deducted at the end of each Contract Quarter/Contract Month, or upon termination of the endorsement, from your Contract Value on a pro rata basis.  We deduct the charge from the Investment Divisions by canceling Accumulation Units; the charge is not part of the Accumulation Unit calculation.  While the charge is deducted from Contract Value, it is based on the applicable percentage of the GWB.  For more information, including how the GWB is calculated, please see “5% Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit With Annual Step-Up” beginning on page 26.  Please check with your representative to learn about the current level of the charge, or contact us at the Annuity Service Center for more information.  Our contact information is on the first page of the prospectus.

 
For Contracts to which this endorsement was added before December 3, 2007, you pay the applicable percentage of the GWB each calendar quarter.  For Contracts to which this endorsement was added on or after December 3, 2007, you pay the applicable percentage of the GWB each Contract Quarter.  For Contracts purchased in Washington State, you pay the applicable percentage of the GWB each Contract Month.

EXAMPLE

The example below is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Contract with the cost of investing in other variable annuity contracts.  These costs include Contract Owner transaction expenses, Contract fees, Separate Account annual expenses and Fund fees and expenses.

(The Annual Contract Maintenance Charge is determined by dividing the total amount of such charges collected during the calendar year by the total market value of the Investment Divisions and Fixed Account.)

The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Contract for the time periods indicated.  Neither transfer fees nor premium tax charges are reflected in the example.  The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% annual return on assets each year.

The following example includes maximum Fund fees and expenses and the costs if you select the optional Highest Anniversary Value Death Benefit and the Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit (using the maximum possible charge).  In addition, the Mortality and Expense and Administrative Charges are assumed to be 1.05% during the first seven Contract years and 0.45% thereafter.  (Mortality and Expense and Administrative Charges are expressed as an annual percentage of the average daily account value of the Investment Divisions.)  Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

If you surrender your Contract at the end of the applicable time period:

1 year
3 years
5 years
10 years
$ 945
$1, 643
$2, 451
$4, 388

If you annuitize at the end of the applicable time period:

1 year *
3 years
5 years
10 years
$ 945
$1, 343
$2, 251
$4, 388

*  Withdrawal charges apply to income payments occurring within one year of the Contract's Issue Date.

If you do not surrender your Contract:

1 year
3 years
5 years
10 years
$ 445
$1, 343
$2, 251
$4, 388

The example does not represent past or future expenses.  Your actual costs may be higher or lower.

CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The information about the values of all Accumulation Units constitutes the condensed financial information, which can be found in the Statement of Additional Information.  The value of an Accumulation Unit is determined on the basis of changes in the per share value of an underlying fund and Separate Account charges for the base Contract and the various combinations of optional endorsements.  The financial statements of the Separate Account and Jackson can be found in the Statement of Additional Information.  The financial statements of the Separate Account include information about all the contracts offered through the Separate Account.  The financial statements of Jackson that are included should be considered only as bearing upon the company's ability to meet its contractual obligations under the Contracts.  Jackson's financial statements do not bear on the future investment experience of the assets held in the Separate Account.  For your copy of the Statement of Additional Information, please contact us at the Annuity Service Center.  Our contact information is on the cover page of this prospectus.

THE ANNUITY CONTRACT

Your Contract is a contract between you, the Owner, and us.  Your Contract is intended to help facilitate your retirement savings on a tax-deferred basis, or other long-term investment purposes, and provides for a death benefit.  Purchases under tax-qualified plans should be made for other than tax deferral reasons.  Tax-qualified plans provide tax deferral that does not rely on the purchase of an annuity contract.  We will not issue a Contract to someone older than age 90 (age 85 for Contracts purchased in Oklahoma).  Optional benefits may have different requirements, as noted.

You may allocate your Contract Value to

our Fixed Account, as may be made available by us, or as may be otherwise limited by us,
 
Investment Divisions of the Separate Account that invest in underlying Funds.

Your Contract, like all deferred annuity contracts, has two phases:

the accumulation phase, which is the period between the issue date of the Contract and the Income Date, and
 
the income phase, which begins on the Income Date and is when we make income payments to you.

As the Owner, you can exercise all the rights under your Contract.  You can assign your Contract at any time during your lifetime, but we will not be bound until we receive written notice of the assignment (there is an assignment form).  We reserve the right to refuse an assignment, and an assignment may be a taxable event.  Your ability to change ownership is limited on Contracts with one of the For Life GMWBs.  Please contact our Annuity Service Center for help and more information.

The Contract is a modified single premium fixed and variable deferred annuity and may be issued as either an individual or a group contract.  Contracts issued in your state may provide different features and benefits than those described in this prospectus.  This prospectus provides a description of the material rights and obligations under the Contract.  Your Contract and any endorsements are the formal contractual agreement between you and the Company.  In those states where Contracts are issued as group contracts, references throughout the prospectus to Contract(s) shall also mean certificate(s).

JACKSON

We are a stock life insurance company organized under the laws of the state of Michigan in June 1961.  Our legal domicile and principal business address is 1 Corporate Way, Lansing, Michigan 48951.  We are admitted to conduct life insurance and annuity business in the District of Columbia and all states except New York.  We are ultimately a wholly owned subsidiary of Prudential plc (London, England).   Jackson is the parent of Jackson National Asset Management, LLC, the Funds’ investment adviser and administrator.

We issue and administer the Contracts and the Separate Account.  We maintain records of the name, address, taxpayer identification number and other pertinent information for each Owner, the number and type of Contracts issued to each Owner and records with respect to the value of each Contract.

We are working to provide documentation electronically.  When this program is available, we will, as permitted, forward documentation electronically.  Please contact us at our Annuity Service Center for more information.

THE FIXED ACCOUNT

Contract Value that you allocate to a Fixed Account option will be placed with other assets in our General Account.  Unlike the Separate Account, the General Account is not segregated or insulated from the claims of the insurance company's creditors.  Investors are looking to the financial strength of the insurance company for its obligations under the Contract, including, for example, guaranteed minimum death benefits and guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefits.  The Fixed Account is not registered with the SEC, and the SEC does not review the information we provide to you about it.  Disclosures regarding the Fixed Account, however, may be subject to the general provisions of the federal securities laws relating to the accuracy and completeness of statements made in prospectuses.  Both the availability of the Fixed Account options, and transfers into and out of the Fixed Account, may be subject to contractual and administrative requirements.  For more information, please see the application, check with the registered representative helping you to purchase the Contract, or contact us at our Annuity Service Center.

Each Fixed Account option offers a base interest rate that we established and will credit to your Contract Value in the Fixed Account for a specified period (currently, one, three, five or seven years), subject to availability (and we reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to limit or suspend availability of the Fixed Account options), so long as the Contract Value in the Fixed Account is not withdrawn, transferred, or annuitized until the end of the specified period.  The base interest rate is subject to your Contract's Fixed Account minimum interest rate, which will be 2% a year, credited daily, during the first ten Contract Years and 3% a year, credited daily, afterwards.  Depending on the Issue Date of your Contract, however, the Fixed Account minimum interest rate may be 3% a year, credited daily, in all Contract Years.  Subject to these minimum requirements, we may declare different base interest rates at different times.

An Excess Interest Adjustment may apply to amounts withdrawn, transferred or annuitized from a Fixed Account Option prior to the end of the specified period.  The Excess Interest Adjustment reflects changes in the level of interest rates since the beginning of the Fixed Account Option period.  The Excess Interest Adjustment is based on the relationship of the current new business interest rate to the guaranteed base interest rate being credited to the Fixed Account Option.  The current new business interest rate used for this comparison is the base interest rate available on a new Fixed Account Option of the same duration, increased by 0.50%.  Generally, the Excess Interest Adjustment will increase the Fixed Account Option Value when current new business rates are lower than the rate being credited and will decrease the Fixed Account Option Value when current new business rates are higher than the rate being credited.

There will be no Excess Interest Adjustment when the current new business interest rate (after adjustment for the 0.50% bias) is greater than the guaranteed base interest rate by less than 0.50%.  This restriction avoids decreases in the Fixed Account Option Value in situations where the general level of interest rates has declined but the bias results in a current new business interest rate that is higher than the guaranteed base interest rate.

Also, there is no Excess Interest Adjustment on: the one-year Fixed Account option; death benefit proceed payments; payments pursuant to a life contingent income option or an income option resulting in payments spread over at least five years; amounts withdrawn for Contract charges; and free withdrawals.  In no event will the Excess Interest Adjustment reduce the credited interest below the guaranteed minimum interest rate applicable to the Fixed Account portion of your Contract, which cannot be less than the guaranteed minimum interest rate required under state insurance laws.

Whenever a specified period ends, you will have 30 days to transfer or withdraw the Contract Value in the Fixed Account option, and there will not be an Excess Interest Adjustment.  If you do nothing, then after 30 days, the Contract Value that remains in that Fixed Account option will be subject to another specified period of the same duration, subject to availability, and provided that that specified period will not extend beyond the Income Date.  Otherwise, the next closest specified period, or the one-year Fixed Account option (if there is one year or less until the Income Date), will apply.

You may allocate premiums to the one-year Fixed Account option, but we may require that the amount in the one-year Fixed Account be automatically transferred on a monthly basis in equal installments to your choice of Investment Division within 12 months of the date we received the premium, so that at the end of the period, all amounts in the one-year Fixed Account will have been transferred.  The amount will be determined based on the amount allocated to the one-year Fixed Account and the base interest rate.  Charges, withdrawals and additional transfers taken from the one-year Fixed Account will shorten the length of time it takes to deplete the account balance.  These automatic transfers will not count against the 15 free transfers in a Contract year.

Interest will continue to be credited daily on the account balance remaining in the one-year Fixed Account as funds are automatically transferred into your choice of Investment Divisions.  However, the effective yield over the 12-month automatic transfer period will be less than the base interest rate, as it will be applied to a declining balance in the one-year Fixed Account.

The DCA+ Fixed Account, if available, offers a fixed interest rate that we guarantee for a period of up to one year in connection with dollar-cost-averaging transfers to one or more of the Investment Divisions or systematic transfers to other Fixed Account options.  From time to time, we will offer special enhanced rates on the DCA+ Fixed Account.  DCA+ Fixed Account is only available for new premiums.  Premiums are accepted during the first six Contract Months only.

THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT

We established the Separate Account on June 14, 1993, pursuant to the provisions of Michigan law.  The Separate Account is a separate account under state insurance law and a unit investment trust under federal securities law and is registered as an investment company with the SEC.

The assets of the Separate Account legally belong to us and the obligations under the Contracts are our obligations.  However, we are not allowed to use the Contract assets in the Separate Account to pay our liabilities arising out of any other business we may conduct.  All of the income, gains and losses resulting from these assets (whether or not realized) are credited to or charged against the Contracts and not against any other Contracts we may issue.

The Separate Account is divided into Investment Divisions.  We do not guarantee the investment performance of the Separate Account or any of its Investment Divisions.

INVESTMENT DIVISIONS

Each Investment Division purchases the shares of one underlying Fund (mutual fund portfolio) that has its own investment objective.  The Investment Divisions are designed to offer the potential for a higher return than the Fixed Account options.  However, this is not guaranteed.  It is possible for you to lose your Contract Value allocated to any of the Investment Divisions.  If you allocate Contract Values to the Investment Divisions, the amounts you are able to accumulate in your Contract during the accumulation phase will depend upon the performance of the Investment Divisions you select.  The amount of the income payments you receive during the income phase also will depend, in part, on the performance of the Investment Divisions you choose for the income phase.

The following Funds in which the Investment Divisions invest are each known as a Fund of Funds.  Funds offered in a Fund of Funds structure may have higher expenses than direct investments in the underlying Funds.  You should read the prospectus for the JNL Series Trust for more information.

The investment objectives and policies of certain Funds are similar to the investment objectives and policies of other mutual funds that the Fund's investment sub-advisers also manage.  Although the objectives and policies may be similar, the investment results of the Funds may be higher or lower than the results of those other mutual funds.  We cannot guarantee, and make no representation, that the investment results of similar funds will be comparable even though the funds have the same investment sub-advisers.  The underlying Funds are available only through variable annuity contracts issued by Jackson.  They are NOT offered or made available to the general public directly.

A Fund's performance may be affected by risks specific to certain types of investments, such as foreign securities, derivative investments, non-investment grade debt securities, initial public offerings (IPOs) or companies with relatively small market capitalizations.  IPOs and other investment techniques may have a magnified performance impact on a Fund with a small asset base.  A Fund may not experience similar performance as its assets grow.

You should read the prospectus for the JNL Series Trust carefully before investing.  Additional Funds and Investment Divisions may be available in the future.  The prospectus for the JNL Series Trust is attached to this prospectus.  However, this prospectus may also be obtained at no charge by calling 1-800-873-5654 (Annuity and Life Service Center) or 1-800-777-7779 (for contracts purchased through a bank or financial institution), by writing P.O. Box 30314, Lansing, Michigan 48909-7814, or by visiting www.jackson.com.

Voting Privileges. To the extent required by law, we will obtain instructions from you and other Owners about how to vote our shares of a Fund when there is a vote of shareholders of a Fund.  We will vote all the shares we own in proportion to those instructions from Owners.  An effect of this proportional voting is that a relatively small number of Owners may determine the outcome of a vote.

Substitution. We reserve the right to substitute a different Fund or a different mutual fund for the one in which any Investment Division is currently invested, or transfer money to the General Account.  We will not do this without any required approval of the SEC.  We will give you notice of any substitution.

CONTRACT CHARGES

There are charges associated with your Contract, the deduction of which will reduce the investment return of your Contract.  Charges are deducted proportionally from your Contract Value.  Some of these charges are for optional endorsements, as noted, so they are deducted from your Contract Value only if you selected to add that optional endorsement to your Contract.  These charges may be a lesser amount where required by state law or as described below, but will not be increased.  We expect to profit from certain charges assessed under the Contract.  These charges (and certain other expenses) are as follows:

Mortality and Expense Risk Charge.  Each day, as part of our calculation of the value of the Accumulation Units and Annuity Units, we make a deduction for the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge.  The Mortality and Expense Risk Charge is expressed as an annual percentage of the average daily account value of the Investment Divisions and is set based upon the breakpoint schedule below using the Aggregate Premium determined at issue.  Aggregate Premium at issue is equal to the anticipated total premium breakpoint specified by you in the Statement of Intention section of the application.  If no Statement of Intention is provided by you in the application, the Aggregate Premium at issue will equal the initial premium received.  The Aggregate Premium will be re-determined only once at the end of the sixth Contract Month. At the time the Aggregate Premium is re-determined, the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge will be set by reference to the newly determined Aggregate Premium.  This re-determination of Aggregate Premium will result in a change to the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge assessed after the sixth Contract Month if the newly determined Aggregate Premium falls into a breakpoint band within the breakpoint schedule that differs from the breakpoint band used to set the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge at issue. Newly determined Aggregate Premium that falls into a higher breakpoint band than the breakpoint band used to set the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge at issue (whether decided by the anticipated total premium breakpoint band specified by you in the Statement of Intention section of the application or, if no Statement of Intention was provided by you, by the initial premium received) will result in a decreased Mortality and Expense Risk Charge.  Conversely, newly determined Aggregate Premium that falls into a lower breakpoint band than the breakpoint band used to set the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge at issue will result in an increased Mortality and Expense Risk Charge.  Any increase or decrease in the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge assessed after the sixth Contract Month will not be retroactive back to the issue date of the Contract.

If the Contract Owner dies prior to the end of the sixth Contract Month, there will not be an adjustment to the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge.  Thus, while the Contract may continue for a period of time after the death of the Owner, premium payments made after the initial premium will not result in a change in the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge.  The Mortality and Expense Risk Charge does not apply to the Fixed Account.

Premiums are accepted during the first six Contract Months only.  The Aggregate Premium is re-determined at the end of the sixth Contract Month and is equal to total Premium paid less certain partial withdrawals, as discussed below.  A withdrawal before the end of the sixth Contract month could affect the Aggregate Premium as re-determined at the end of the sixth Contract Month, and may result in a higher Mortality and Expense Risk Charge.  For information about withdrawals affecting Aggregate Premium, please see “Access To Your Money” beginning on page 23.

The Mortality and Expense Risk Charge compensates us for the risks we assume in connection with all the Contracts, not just your Contract.  Our mortality risks under the Contracts arise from our obligations:

to make income payments for the life of the Annuitant during the income phase;
 
to waive the withdrawal charge in the event of the Owner's death; and
 
to provide a basic death benefit prior to the Income Date.

Our expense risks under the Contracts include the risk that our actual cost of administering the Contracts and the Investment Divisions may exceed the amount that we receive from the administration charge and the annual contract maintenance charge.  Included among these expense risks are those that we assume in connection with increasing distribution expenses, waivers of withdrawal charges under the Terminal Illness Benefit, the Specified Conditions Benefit and the Extended Care Benefit.

If your Contract Value were ever to become insufficient to pay this charge, your Contract would terminate without value.

Annual Contract Maintenance Charge. During the accumulation phase, we deduct a $35 annual contract maintenance charge on the Contract Anniversary of the Issue Date.  We will also deduct the annual contract maintenance charge if you make a total withdrawal.  This charge is for administrative expenses.  The annual contract maintenance charge will be assessed on the Contract Anniversary or upon full withdrawal and is taken from the Investment Divisions and the Fixed Account options based on the proportion their respective value bears to the Contract Value.  We will not deduct this charge if, when the deduction is to be made, the value of your Contract is $50,000 or more.

Administration Charge. Each day, as part of our calculation of the value of the Accumulation Units and Annuity Units, we make a deduction for administration charges.  On an annual basis, these charges equal 0.15% of the average daily net asset value of your allocations to the Investment Divisions.  This charge does not apply to the Fixed Account.  This charge compensates us for our expenses incurred in administering the Contracts and the Separate Account.

Transfer Charge. You must pay $25 for each transfer in excess of 15 in a Contract Year.  This charge is deducted from the amount that is transferred prior to the allocation to a different Investment Division or the Fixed Account, as applicable.  We waive the transfer charge in connection with Dollar Cost Averaging, Earnings Sweep, Rebalancing transfers and any transfers we require, and we may charge a lesser fee where required by state law.

Withdrawal Charge. At any time during the accumulation phase (if and to the extent that Contract Value is sufficient to pay any remaining withdrawal charges that remain after a withdrawal), you may withdraw the following with no withdrawal charge:

premiums that are no longer subject to a withdrawal charge (premiums in your annuity for at least six years), plus
 
earnings (excess of your Contract Value allocated to the Investment Divisions and the Fixed Account over your remaining premiums allocated to those accounts)
 
during each Contract Year 10% of premium that would otherwise incur a withdrawal charge or be reduced by an Excess Interest Adjustment, and that has not been previously withdrawn (this can be withdrawn at once or in segments throughout the Contract Year), minus earnings (required minimum distributions will be counted as part of the free withdrawal amount).

We will deduct a withdrawal charge on:
 
withdrawals in excess of the free withdrawal amounts, or
 
withdrawals under a tax-qualified Contract that exceed its required minimum distributions, or
 
withdrawals in excess of the free withdrawal amounts to meet the required minimum distribution of a tax-qualified Contract purchased with contributions from a nontaxable transfer, after the Owner's death, of an Individual Retirement Annuity (IRA), or to meet the required minimum distribution of a Roth IRA annuity, or
 
amounts withdrawn in a total withdrawal, or
 
amounts applied to income payments on an Income Date that is within one year of the Issue Date.

The amount of the withdrawal charge deducted varies (depending upon how many years prior to the withdrawal you made the premium payment(s) you are withdrawing) according to the following schedule:

 
Withdrawal Charge (as a percentage of premium payments):

For purposes of the withdrawal charge, we treat withdrawals as coming first from earnings and then from the oldest remaining premium.  If you make a full withdrawal, or elect to commence income payments within one year of the date your Contract was issued, the withdrawal charge is based on premiums remaining in the Contract and no free withdrawal amount applies.  If you withdraw only part of the value of your Contract, we deduct the withdrawal charge from the remaining value in your Contract.  The withdrawal charge compensates us for costs associated with selling the Contracts.

Note:  Withdrawals under a non-qualified Contract will be taxable on an “income first” basis.  This means that any withdrawal from a non-qualified Contract that does not exceed the accumulated income under the Contract will be taxable in full.  Any withdrawals under a tax-qualified Contract will be taxable except to the extent that they are allocable to an investment in the Contract (any after-tax contributions).  In most cases, there will be little or no investment in the Contract for a tax-qualified Contract because contributions will have been made on a pre-tax or tax-deductible basis.

We do not assess the withdrawal charge on any amounts paid out as:

income payments during your Contract’s income phase (but the withdrawal charge is deducted at the Income Date if income payments are commenced in the first Contract Year);
 
death benefits;
 
withdrawals necessary to satisfy the required minimum distribution of the Internal Revenue Code (but if the withdrawal requested exceeds the required minimum distribution; if the Contract was purchased with contributions from a nontaxable transfer, after the Owner's death, of an Individual Retirement Annuity (IRA); or is a Roth IRA annuity, then the entire withdrawal in excess of the free withdrawal amount will be subject to the withdrawal charge);
 
if permitted by your state, withdrawals of up to $250,000 from the Investment Divisions and Fixed Account if you incur a terminal illness or if you need extended hospital or nursing home care as provided in your Contract; or
 
if permitted by your state, withdrawals of up to 25% of your Contract Value from the Investment Divisions and Fixed Account (12 1/2% for each of two joint Owners) if you incur certain serious medical conditions specified in your Contract.

We may reduce or eliminate the amount of the withdrawal charge when the Contract is sold under circumstances that reduce our sales expense.  Some examples are the purchase of a Contract by a large group of individuals or an existing relationship between us and a prospective purchaser.  We may not deduct a withdrawal charge under a Contract issued to an officer, director, agent or employee of Jackson or any of our affiliates.

5% Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit With Annual Step-Up (“AutoGuard 5”) Charge.  If you select the 5% GMWB With Annual Step-Up, in most states you will pay 0.1625% of the GWB each quarter (0.65% annually).  In Washington State, the charge is monthly, currently 0.055% of the GWB (0.66% annually), which we will waive at the end of a Contract Month to the extent that the charge exceeds the amount of your Contract Value allocated to the Investment Divisions.  For Contracts to which this endorsement was added before December 3, 2007, you pay the applicable percentage of the GWB each calendar quarter.  For Contracts to which this endorsement was added on or after December 3, 2007, you pay the applicable percentage of the GWB each Contract Quarter.  For Contracts purchased in Washington State, you pay the applicable percentage of the GWB each Contract Month.  The actual deduction of the charge will be reflected in your quarterly statement.  For more information about the GWB, please see “5% Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit With Annual Step-Up” beginning on page 26.

PLEASE NOTE:  EFFECTIVE MAY 1, 2011, THIS ENDORSEMENT IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE TO ADD TO A CONTRACT.

We deduct the charge from your Contract Value on a pro rata basis over each applicable Investment Division and the Fixed Account.  In Washington State, the monthly charges are also pro rata, but deducted over the applicable Investment Divisions only. With the Investment Divisions, we deduct the charge by canceling Accumulation Units rather than as part of the calculation to determine Accumulation Unit Value.  While the charge is deducted from Contract Value, it is based on the applicable percentage of the GWB.  Upon termination of the endorsement, the charge is prorated for the period since the last quarterly or monthly charge.

The charge may be reduced if you do not take any withdrawals before the fifth Contract Anniversary, or before the tenth Contract Anniversary, after the endorsement's effective date.  If the charge in your state is quarterly, and if you have not taken any withdrawals before the fifth Contract Anniversary, then you will pay 0.1125% of the GWB each quarter (0.45% annually).  After the tenth Contract Anniversary if no withdrawals have been taken, you will pay 0.05% of the GWB each quarter (0.20% annually).  If the charge in your state is monthly, and if you have not taken any withdrawals before the fifth Contract Anniversary, then you will pay 0.0375% of the GWB each Contract Month (0.45% annually).  After the tenth Contract Anniversary if no withdrawals have been taken, you will pay 0.0175% of the GWB each Contract Month (0.21% annually).

We reserve the right to prospectively change the charge: on new Contracts; if you select this benefit after your Contract is issued; or with a step-up that you request (not on step-ups that are automatic) – subject to a maximum charge of 1.45% annually in states where the charge is quarterly, 1.47% annually in states where the charge is monthly.  We stop deducting this charge on the earlier date that you annuitize the Contract, or your Contract Value is zero.  Please check with your representative to learn about the current level of the charge, or contact us at the Annuity Service Center for more information.  Our contact information is on the first page of the prospectus.  In addition, please consult the representative to be sure if a Step-Up is right for you and about any increase in charges upon a Step-Up.  Upon election of the GMWB and a Step-Up, the applicable GMWB charge will be reflected in your confirmation.  For more information about how the endorsement works, please see “5% Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit with Annual Step-Up” beginning on page 26.  Also see “Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit Important Special Considerations” beginning on page 25 for additional important information to consider when purchasing a Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit.

5% For Life Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit With Annual Step-Up (“LifeGuard Protector”) Charge. The charge for this GMWB is expressed as an annual percentage of the GWB and depends on the Owner's age when the endorsement is added to the Contract.  The charge varies by age group (see table below).  For more information about the GWB, please see “5% For Life Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit With Annual Step-Up” beginning on page 29.  With joint Owners, the charge is based on the older Owner's age.  For the Owner that is a legal entity, the charge is based on the Annuitant's age.  (With joint Annuitants, the charge is based on the older Annuitant's age.)

You pay the applicable annual percentage of the GWB each calendar quarter.  For Contracts purchased in Washington State, the charge is monthly, which charge is waived at the end of a Contract Month to the extent it exceeds the amount of your Contract Value allocated to the Investment Divisions.  We deduct the charge from your Contract Value.  Quarterly charges are pro rata deducted over each applicable Investment Division and the Fixed Account.  Monthly charges are also pro rata, but deducted over the applicable Investment Divisions only.  With the Investment Divisions, we deduct the charge by canceling Accumulation Units rather than as part of the calculation to determine Accumulation Unit Value.  While the charge is deducted from Contract Value, it is based on the applicable percentage of the GWB.  The charge is prorated, from the endorsement's effective date, to the end of the first quarter or first month after selection.  Similarly, the charge is prorated upon termination of the endorsement.

We reserve the right to prospectively change the charge on new Contracts, or if you select this benefit after your Contract is issued, subject to the applicable maximum annual charge.  We may also change the charge when you elect a step-up, (not on step-ups that are automatic), again subject to the applicable maximum annual charge.

The actual deduction of the charge will be reflected in your quarterly statement.  You will continue to pay the charge for the endorsement through the earlier date that you annuitize the Contract or your Contract Value is zero.  Also, we will stop deducting the charge under the other circumstances that would cause the endorsement to terminate.  For more information, please see “Termination” under “5% For Life Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit With Annual Step-Up” beginning on page 34.  Please check with your representative to learn about the current level of the charge, or contact us at the Annuity Service Center for more information.  Our contact information is on the first page of the prospectus.  In addition, please consult the representative to be sure if a Step-Up is right for you and about any increase in charges upon a Step-Up.  Upon election of the GMWB and a Step-Up, the applicable GMWB charge will be reflected in your confirmation.  For more information about how the endorsement works, please see “5% For Life Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit With Annual Step-Up” beginning on page 29.  Also see “Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit General Considerations” and “Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit Important Special Considerations” beginning on page 25 for additional important information to consider when purchasing a Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit.

You pay the applicable annual percentage of the GWB each calendar quarter.  For Contracts purchased in Washington State, the charge is monthly, which charge is waived at the end of a Contract Month to the extent it exceeds the amount of your Contract Value allocated to the Investment Divisions.  We deduct the charge from your Contract Value.  Quarterly charges are pro rata deducted over each applicable Investment Division and the Fixed Account.  Monthly charges are also pro rata, deducted over the applicable Investment Divisions only.  With the Investment Divisions, we deduct the charge by canceling Accumulation Units rather than as part of the calculation to determine Accumulation Unit Value.  While the charge is deducted from Contract Value, it is based on the applicable percentage of the GWB.  The charge is prorated, from the endorsement's effective date to the end of the first quarter or first month after selection.  Similarly, the charge is prorated upon termination of the endorsement.

We reserve the right to prospectively change the charge on new Contracts, or if you select this benefit after your Contract is issued, subject to the applicable maximum annual charge.  We may also change the charge when you elect a step-up (not on step-ups that are automatic), again subject to the applicable maximum annual charge.

The actual deduction of the charge will be reflected in your quarterly statement.  You will continue to pay the charge for the endorsement through the earlier date that you annuitize the Contract or your Contract Value is zero.  Also, we will stop deducting the charge under the other circumstances that would cause the endorsement to terminate.  For more information, please see “Termination” under “Joint 5% For Life Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit With Annual Step-Up” beginning on page 40.  Please check with your representative to learn about the current level of the charge, or contact us at the Annuity Service Center for more information.  Our contact information is on the first page of the prospectus.  In addition, please consult the representative to be sure if a Step-Up is right for you and about any increase in charges upon a Step-Up.  Upon election of the GMWB and a Step-Up, the applicable GMWB charge will be reflected in your confirmation.  For more information about how the endorsement works, please see “Joint 5% For Life Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit With Annual Step-Up” beginning on page 35.  Also see “Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit General Considerations” and “Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit Important Special Considerations” beginning on page 25 for additional important information to consider when purchasing a Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit.

Death Benefit Charges.  There is no additional charge for the Contract's basic death benefit.  However, for an additional charge, you may select one of the Contract's available optional death benefits in place of the basic death benefit.  Please ask your agent whether there are variations on these benefits in your state or contact our Annuity Service Center.  Our contact information is on the cover page of this prospectus.

If you select the Return of Premium Death Benefit, you will pay 0.20%, subject to a maximum of 0.55% on new issues, on an annual basis of the average daily net asset value of your allocations to the Investment Divisions.

If you select the Highest Anniversary Value Death Benefit, you will pay 0.35%, subject to a maximum of 0.55% on new issues, on an annual basis of the average daily net asset value of your allocations to the Investment Divisions.

We stop deducting either of these charges on the date you annuitize.

Commutation Fee. If you make a total withdrawal from your Contract after income payments have commenced under income option 4, or if after your death during the period for which payments are guaranteed to be made under income option 3 your Beneficiary elects to receive a lump sum payment, the amount received will be reduced by (a) minus (b) where:

(a) = the present value of the remaining income payments (as of the date of calculation) for the period for which payments are guaranteed to be made, discounted at the rate assumed in calculating the initial payment; and
(b) = the present value of the remaining income payments (as of the date of calculation) for the period for which payments are guaranteed to be made, discounted at a rate no more than 1.00% higher than the rate used in (a).

Other Expenses.  We pay the operating expenses of the Separate Account, including those not covered by the mortality and expense and administrative charges.  There are deductions from and expenses paid out of the assets of the Funds.  These expenses are described in the attached prospectus for the JNL Series Trust.  For more information, please see the “Fund Operating Expenses” table beginning on page 8.

Premium Taxes.  Some states and other governmental entities charge premium taxes or other similar taxes.  We pay these taxes and may make a deduction from your Contract Values for them.  Premium taxes generally range from 0% to 3.5% (the amount of state premium tax, if any, will vary from state to state).

Income Taxes.  We reserve the right, when calculating unit values, to deduct a credit or charge with respect to any taxes we have paid or reserved for during the valuation period that we determine to be attributable to the operation of the Separate Account, or to a particular Investment Division.  No federal income taxes are applicable under present law and we are not presently making any such deduction.

DISTRIBUTION OF CONTRACTS

Jackson National Life Distributors LLC (“JNLD” or “Distributor” ), located at 7601 Technology Way, Denver, Colorado 80237, serves as the distributor of the Contracts.  JNLD is a wholly owned subsidiary of Jackson National Life Insurance Company.   JNLD is registered as a broker-dealer with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”).  JNLD is not a member of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (“SIPC”).

Commissions are paid to broker-dealers who sell the Contracts.  While commissions may vary, they are not expected to exceed 8% of any premium payment.  Where lower commissions are paid up front, we may also pay trail commissions.  We may also pay commissions on the Income Date if the annuity option selected involves a life contingency or a payout over a period of ten or more years.

Under certain circumstances, JNLD out of their own resources may pay bonuses, overrides, and marketing allowances, in addition to the standard commissions.  These payments and/or reimbursements to broker-dealers are in recognition of their marketing and distribution and/or administrative services support.  They may not be offered to all broker-dealers, and the terms of any particular agreement may vary widely among broker-dealers depending on, among other things, the level and type of marketing and distribution support provided, assets under management, and the volume and size of the sales of our insurance products.  They may provide us greater access to the registered representatives of the broker-dealers receiving such compensation or may otherwise influence the broker-dealer and/or registered representative to present the Contracts more favorably than other investment alternatives.  Such compensation is subject to applicable state insurance law and regulation and the NASD rules of conduct.  While such compensation may be significant, it will not cause any additional direct charge by us to you.

The two primary forms of such compensation paid by JNLD are overrides and marketing support payments.  Overrides are payments that are designed as consideration for product placement, assets under management and sales volume.  Overrides are generally based on a fixed percentage of product sales and generally range from 10 to 50 basis points (0.10% to 0.50%).  Marketing support payments may be in the form of cash and/or non-cash compensation and allow us to, among other things, participate in sales conferences , sponsorships and educational seminars.  Examples of such payments include, but are not limited to, reimbursements for representative training or “due diligence” meetings (including travel and lodging expenses), client events, speaker fees and business development and educational enhancement items, including payments to third party vendors for such items.  Payments or reimbursements for meetings and seminars are generally based on the anticipated level of participation and/or accessibility and the size of the audience.  Subject to NASD rules of conduct, we may also provide cash and/or non-cash compensation to registered representatives in the form of gifts, promotional items and occasional meals and entertainment.   Individual registered representatives may receive differing levels of sales and service support.

Please see Appendix C for a complete list of broker-dealers that received amounts of marketing and distribution and/or administrative support in 2011 from the Distributor in relation to the sale of our variable insurance products.  While we endeavor to update this list on an annual basis, please note that interim changes or new arrangements may not be listed.

We may, under certain circumstances where permitted by applicable law, pay a bonus to a Contract purchaser to the extent the broker-dealer waives its commission. You can learn about the amount of any available bonus by calling the toll-free number on the cover page of this prospectus.  Contract purchasers should inquire of the representative if such bonus is available to them and its compliance with applicable law.  We may use any of our corporate assets to cover the cost of distribution, including any profit from the Contract's mortality and expense risk charge and other charges.  Besides Jackson National Life Distributors LLC, we are affiliated with the following broker-dealers:

National Planning Corporation
 
SII Investments, Inc.
 
IFC Holdings, Inc. d/b/a Invest Financial Corporation
 
Investment Centers of America, Inc.
 
Curian Clearing LLC

The Distributor also has the following relationships with the sub-advisers and their affiliates.  The Distributor receives payments from certain sub-advisers to assist in defraying the costs of certain promotional and marketing meetings in which they participate.  The amounts paid depend on the nature of the meetings, the number of meetings attended, the costs expected to be incurred and the level of the sub-adviser's participation.  Our affiliated broker-dealers may also sell the retail mutual funds of certain sub-advisers.  In addition, the Distributor acts as distributor of variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (the “Other Contracts”) issued by Jackson National Life Insurance Company and its subsidiary, Jackson National Life Insurance Company of New York.  The compensation consists of commissions, trail commissions and other compensation or promotional incentives as described above and in the prospectus or statement of additional information for the Other Contracts.

All of the compensation described here, and other compensation or benefits provided by Jackson or our affiliates, may be greater or less than the total compensation on similar or other products.  The amount and/or structure of the compensation can possibly create a potential conflict of interest as it may influence your registered representative, broker-dealer or selling institution to present this Contract over other investment alternatives.  The variations in compensation, however, may also reflect differences in sales effort or ongoing customer services expected of the registered representative or the broker-dealer.  You may ask your registered representative about any variations and how he or she and his or her broker-dealer are compensated for selling the Contract.
 
PURCHASES

Effective April 6, 2009, this Curiangard Simplified Retirement Annuity is no longer available for purchase.

Minimum Initial Premium:

$50,000 under most circumstances

Minimum Additional Premiums:

$500 for a qualified or non-qualified plan; however, additional premiums will not be accepted beyond the sixth Contract Month.

As a result of the six Contract Month limit on subsequent premiums, you may have to buy additional Contracts to meet your total annuity coverage goal.  Multiple Contracts may result in higher charges and total expenses.  However, we reserve the right to limit the number of Contracts that you may purchase.  We also reserve the right to refuse any premium payment.

The minimums apply to purchases, but do not preclude subsequent partial withdrawals that would reduce Contract Values below the minimum initial purchase amounts, as long as the amount left in the account is sufficient to pay any remaining withdrawal charge.  There is a $100 minimum balance requirement for each Investment Division and Fixed Account.  We reserve the right to restrict availability or impose restrictions on the Fixed Account.

Maximum Premiums:

The maximum total of all premiums you may make without our prior approval is $1 million.

The payment of subsequent premiums within the limited period of the first six Contract Months, relative to market conditions at the time the payments are made, may or may not contribute to the various benefits under your Contract, including the optional enhanced death benefits or any GMWBs.

Allocations of Premium. You may allocate your premiums to one or more of the Investment Divisions and Fixed Account.  Each allocation must be a whole percentage between 0% and 100%.  The minimum amount you may allocate to the Investment Division or a Fixed Account is $100.  We will allocate any additional premiums you pay in the same way unless you instruct us otherwise.  These allocations will be subject to our minimum allocation rules.

We will issue your Contract and allocate your first premium within two business days (days when the New York Stock Exchange is open) after we receive your first premium and all information that we require for the purchase of a Contract.  If we do not receive all of the information that we require, we will contact you to get the necessary information.  If for some reason we are unable to complete this process within five business days, we will return your money.

Each business day ends when the New York Stock Exchange closes (usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern time).

Capital Protection Program. If you select our Capital Protection Program at issue, we will allocate enough of your premium to the Fixed Account you select to assure that the amount so allocated will equal, at the end of a selected period of 1, 3, 5, or 7 years, your total original premium paid.  You may allocate the rest of your premium to any Investment Division(s).  If any part of the Fixed Account value is surrendered or transferred before the end of the selected guaranteed period, the value at the end of that period will not equal the original premium.  This program is available only if Fixed Account options are available.  There is no charge for the Capital Protection Program.  You should consult your Jackson representative with respect to the current availability of Fixed Account options, their limitations, and the availability of the Capital Protection Program.

For an example of capital protection, assume you made a premium payment of $10,000 when the interest rate for the three-year guaranteed period was 3% per year.  We would allocate $9,152 to that guarantee period because $9,152 would increase at that interest rate to $10,000 after three years, assuming no withdrawals are taken.  The remaining $848 of the payment would be allocated to the Investment Division(s) you selected.

Alternatively, assume Jackson receives a premium payment of $10,000 when the interest rate for the 7-year period is 6.75% per year.  Jackson will allocate $6,331 to that guarantee period because $6,331 will increase at that interest rate to $10,000 after 7 years.  The remaining $3,669 of the payment will be allocated to the Investment Division(s) you selected.

Thus, as these examples demonstrate, the shorter guarantee periods require allocation of substantially all your premium to achieve the intended result.  In each case, the results will depend on the interest rate declared for the guarantee period.

Accumulation Units.  Your Contract Value allocated to the Investment Divisions will go up or down depending on the performance of the Investment Divisions you select.  In order to keep track of the value of your Contract during the accumulation phase, we use a unit of measure called an “Accumulation Unit.”  During the income phase we use a measure called an “Annuity Unit.”

Every business day, we determine the value of an Accumulation Unit for each of the Investment Divisions by:

determining the total amount of assets held in the particular Investment Division;
 
subtracting any asset-based charges and taxes chargeable under the Contract; and
 
dividing this amount by the number of outstanding Accumulation Units.

Charges deducted through the cancellation of units are not reflected in this computation.

The value of an Accumulation Unit may go up or down from day to day.  The base Contract has a different Accumulation Unit value than each combination of optional endorsements an Owner may elect, based on the differing amount of charges applied in calculating that Accumulation Unit value.

When you make a premium payment, we credit your Contract with Accumulation Units.  The number of Accumulation Units we credit is determined at the close of that business day by dividing the amount of the premium allocated to any Investment Division by the value of the Accumulation Unit for that Investment Division that reflects the combination of optional endorsements you have elected and their respective charges.

TRANSFERS AND FREQUENT TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS

You may transfer your Contract Value between and among the Investment Divisions at any time, unless transfers are subject to other limitations, but transfers between an Investment Division and the Fixed Account must occur prior to the Income Date.  Transfers from the Fixed Account will be subject to any applicable Excess Interest Adjustment.  There may be periods when we do not offer the Fixed Account, or when we impose special transfer requirements on the Fixed Account.  If a renewal occurs within one year of the Income Date, we will continue to credit interest up to the Income Date at the then Current Interest Rate for the applicable Fixed Account Option.  You can make 15 transfers every Contract Year during the accumulation phase without charge.

A transfer will be effective as of the end of the business day when we receive your transfer request in Good Order, and we will disclaim all liability for transfers made based on your transfer instructions, or the instructions of a third party authorized to submit transfer requests on your behalf.

Restrictions on Transfers: Market Timing.  The Contract is not designed for frequent transfers by anyone.  Frequent transfers between and among Investment Divisions may disrupt the underlying Funds and could negatively impact performance, by interfering with efficient management and reducing long-term returns, and increasing administrative costs.  Frequent transfers may also dilute the value of shares of an underlying Fund.  Neither the Contracts nor the underlying Funds are meant to promote any active trading strategy, like market timing.  Allowing frequent transfers by one or some Owners could be at the expense of other Owners of the Contract.  To protect Owners and the underlying Funds, we have policies and procedures to deter frequent transfers between and among the Investment Divisions.

Under these policies and procedures, there is a $25 charge per transfer after 15 in a Contract Year, and no round trip transfers are allowed within 15 calendar days.  Also, we could restrict your ability to make transfers to or from one or more of the Investment Divisions, which possible restrictions may include, but are not limited to:

limiting the number of transfers over a period of time;
 
requiring a minimum time period between each transfer;
 
limiting transfer requests from an agent acting on behalf of one or more Owners or under a power of attorney on behalf of one or more Owners; or
 
limiting the dollar amount that you may transfer at any one time.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, we reserve the right to restrict the number of transfers per year that you can request, and to restrict you from making transfers on consecutive business days.  In addition, your right to make transfers between and among Investment Divisions may be modified if we determine that the exercise by one or more Owners is, or would be, to the disadvantage of other Owners.

We continuously monitor transfers under the Contract for disruptive activity based on frequency, pattern and size.  We will more closely monitor Contracts with disruptive activity, placing them on a watch list, and if the disruptive activity continues, we will restrict the availability of electronic or telephonic means to make a transfer, instead requiring that transfer instructions be mailed through regular U.S. postal service, and/or terminate the ability to make transfers completely, as necessary.  If we terminate your ability to make transfers, you may need to make a partial withdrawal to access the Contract Value in the Investment Division(s) from which you sought a transfer.  We will notify you and your representative in writing within five days of placing the Contract on a watch list.

Regarding round trip transfers, we will allow redemptions from an Investment Division; however, once a complete or partial redemption has been made from an Investment Division through an Investment Division transfer, you will not be permitted to transfer any value back into that Investment Division within 15 calendar days of the redemption.  We will treat as short-term trading activity any transfer that is requested into an Investment Division that was previously redeemed within the previous 15 calendar days, whether the transfer was requested by you or a third party.

Our policies and procedures do not apply to the Fixed Account, Dollar Cost Averaging, Earnings Sweep or the Automatic Rebalancing program.  We may also make exceptions that involve an administrative error, or a personal unanticipated financial emergency of an Owner resulting from an identified health, employment, or other financial or personal event that makes the existing allocation imprudent or a hardship.  These limited exceptions will be granted by an oversight team pursuant to procedures designed to result in their consistent application.  Please contact our Annuity Service Center if you believe your transfer request entails a financial emergency.

Otherwise, we do not exempt any person or class of persons from our policies and procedures.  We have agreements allowing for asset allocation and investment advisory services that are not only subject to our policies and procedures, but also to additional conditions and limitations, intended to limit the potential adverse impact of these activities on other Owners of the Contract.  We expect to apply our policies and procedures uniformly, but because detection and deterrence involves judgments that are inherently subjective, we cannot guarantee that we will detect and deter every Contract engaging in frequent transfers every time.  If these policies and procedures are ineffective, the adverse consequences described above could occur.  We also expect to apply our policies and procedures in a manner reasonably designed to prevent transfers that we consider to be to the disadvantage of other Owners, and we may take whatever action we deem appropriate, without prior notice, to comply with or take advantage of any state or federal regulatory requirement.

TELEPHONE AND INTERNET TRANSACTIONS

The Basics. You can request certain transactions by telephone or at www.jackson.com, our Internet website, subject to our right to terminate electronic or telephonic transfer privileges described above.  Our Annuity Service Center representatives are available during business hours to provide you with information about your account.  We require that you provide proper identification before performing transactions over the telephone or through our Internet website.  For Internet transactions, this will include a Personal Identification Number (PIN).  You may establish or change your PIN at www.jackson.com.

What You Can Do and How. You may make transfers by telephone or through the Internet unless you elect not to have this privilege.  Any authorization you provide to us in an application, at our website, or through other means will authorize us to accept transaction instructions, including Investment Division transfers/allocations, by you and your financial representative unless you notify us to the contrary.  To notify us, please call us at the Annuity Service Center.  Our contact information is on the cover page of this prospectus and the number is referenced in your Contract or on your quarterly statement.

What You Can Do and When. When authorizing a transfer, you must complete your telephone call by the close of the New York Stock Exchange (usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) in order to receive that day's Accumulation Unit value for an Investment Division.

Transfer instructions you send electronically are considered to be received by us at the time and date stated on the electronic acknowledgement we return to you.  If the time and date indicated on the acknowledgement is before the close of the New York Stock Exchange, the instructions will be carried out that day.  Otherwise the instructions will be carried out the next business day.  We will retain permanent records of all web-based transactions by confirmation number.  If you do not receive an electronic acknowledgement, you should telephone our Annuity Service Center immediately.

How to Cancel a Transaction. You may only cancel an earlier telephonic or electronic transfer request made on the same day by calling the Annuity Service Center before the New York Stock Exchange closes.  Otherwise, your cancellation instruction will not be allowed because of the round trip transfer restriction.

Our Procedures. Our procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that telephone or any other electronic authorizations are genuine.  Our procedures include requesting identifying information and tape-recording telephone communications and other specific details.  We and our affiliates disclaim all liability for any claim, loss or expense resulting from any alleged error or mistake in connection with a transaction requested by telephone or other electronic means that you did not authorize.  However, if we fail to employ reasonable procedures to ensure that all requested transactions are properly authorized, we may be held liable for such losses.

We do not guarantee access to telephonic and electronic information or that we will be able to accept transaction instructions via the telephone or electronic means at all times.  We also reserve the right to modify, limit, restrict, or discontinue at any time and without notice the acceptance of instruction from someone other than you and/or this telephonic and electronic transaction privilege.  Elections of any optional benefit or program must be in writing and will be effective upon receipt of the request in Good Order.

Upon notification of the Owner's death, any telephone transfer authorization, other than by the surviving joint Owners, designated by the Owner ceases and we will not allow such transactions unless the executor/representative provides written authorization for a person or persons to act on the executor's/representative's behalf.

ACCESS TO YOUR MONEY

You can have access to the money in your Contract:

by making either a partial or complete withdrawal,
 
by electing the Systematic Withdrawal Program,
 
by electing a Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit (“GMWB”), or
 
by electing to receive income payments.

Your Beneficiary can have access to the money in your Contract when a death benefit is paid.

Except in connection with certain withdrawals associated with a GMWB or withdrawals made to satisfy minimum distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code, a withdrawal before the end of the sixth Contract month will affect the Aggregate Premium as re-determined at the end of the sixth Contract Month, and may result in a higher Mortality and Expense Risk Charge, depending on the amount of the newly determined Aggregate Premium and where it falls within the breakpoint schedule (please see “Mortality and Expense Risk Charge” beginning on page 13 for more information).  At the end of the sixth Contract Month, the Aggregate Premium is re-determined to equal:

The actual Premium paid to date;
 
Less total partial withdrawals to date unless one of the two following conditions apply:
 
 
1.
Total partial withdrawals are less than the maximum annual withdrawal permitted in accordance with the GMWB, if applicable.  The following rules apply in determining the amount of total partial withdrawals:
 
   
a.
Partial Withdrawals are assumed to be the total amount withdrawn from the Contract, including any Withdrawal Charges and Excess Interest Adjustments; and
 
   
b.
All withdrawals including systematic withdrawals, required minimum distributions prior to the Income Date, withdrawals of asset allocation and advisory fees, and free withdrawals are counted toward the total amount withdrawn.
 
 
Or
 
   
 
2.
All partial withdrawals taken during the first six Contract Months are made to satisfy required minimum distributions under the Internal Revenue Code for each applicable calendar year spanned by the six Contract Month period.

Withdrawals under the Contract may also be subject to a withdrawal charge.  For purposes of the withdrawal charge, we treat withdrawals as coming first from earnings and then from the oldest remaining premium.  When you make a complete withdrawal you will receive the value of your Contract as of the end of the business day your request is received by us in Good Order, minus any applicable taxes, the annual contract maintenance charge, charges due under any optional endorsement and all applicable withdrawal charges, adjusted for any applicable Excess Interest Adjustment.  For more information about withdrawal charges, please see “Withdrawal Charge” beginning on page 14.

Your withdrawal request must be in writing.  We will accept withdrawal requests submitted via facsimile.  There are risks associated with not requiring original signatures in order to disburse the money.  To minimize the risks, the proceeds will be sent to your last recorded address in our records, so be sure to notify us, in writing with an original signature of any address change.  We do not assume responsibility for improper disbursements if you have failed to provide us with the current address to which the proceeds should be sent.

Except in connection with the Systematic Withdrawal Program, you must withdraw at least $500 or, if less, the entire amount in the Fixed Account or Investment Division from which you are making the withdrawal.  If you are not specific, your withdrawal will be taken from your allocations to the Investment Divisions and Fixed Account based on the proportion their respective values bear to the Contract Value.  With the Systematic Withdrawal Program, you may withdraw a specified dollar amount (of at least $50 per withdrawal) or a specified percentage.  After your withdrawal, at least $100 must remain in each Fixed Account or Investment Division from which the withdrawal was taken.  A withdrawal request that would reduce the remaining Contract Value to less than $100 will be treated as a request for a complete withdrawal.

If you have an investment adviser who, for a fee, manages your Contract Value, you may authorize payment of the fee from the Contract by requesting a partial withdrawal.  There are conditions and limitations, so please contact our Annuity Service Center for more information.  Our contact information is on the cover page of this prospectus.  We neither endorse any investment advisers, nor make any representations as to their qualifications.  The fee for this service would be covered in a separate agreement between the two of you, and would be in addition to the fees and expenses described in this prospectus.

Income taxes, tax penalties and certain restrictions may apply to any withdrawal you make.  There are limitations on withdrawals from qualified plans.  For more information, please see “TAXES” beginning on page 45.

Waiver of Withdrawal Charges for Certain Emergencies. We will waive the withdrawal charge (withdrawals from the Investment Divisions and the Fixed Account), but not any Excess Interest Adjustment that would otherwise apply in certain circumstances by providing you, at no charge, the following:

Terminal Illness Benefit, under which we will waive any withdrawal charges on amounts of up to $250,000 of your Contract Value from the Investment Divisions and Fixed Account that you withdraw after providing us with a physician's statement that you have been diagnosed with an illness that will result in your death within 12 months;
 
Specified Conditions Benefit, under which you may make a one-time withdrawal of up to 25% (for joint Owners, this benefit applies to each of them for 12 1/2%) of your Contract Value from the Investment Divisions and Fixed Account with no withdrawal charge after having provided us with a physician's statement that you have been diagnosed with one of the following conditions:
 
   
Heart attack
   
Stroke
   
Coronary artery surgery
   
Life-threatening cancer
   
Renal failure or
   
Alzheimer's disease; and
 
Extended Care Benefit, under which we will waive any withdrawal charges on amounts of up to $250,000 of your Contract Value from the Investment Divisions and Fixed Account that you withdraw after providing us with a physician's statement that you have been confined to a nursing home or hospital for 90 consecutive days, beginning at least 30 days after your Contract was issued.

You may exercise these benefits once under your Contract.

Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit General Considerations.  Most people who are managing their investments to provide retirement income want to provide themselves with sufficient lifetime income and also to provide for an inheritance for their Beneficiaries.  The main obstacles they face in meeting these goals are the uncertainties as to (i) how much income their investments will produce, and (ii) how long they will live and will need to draw income from their investments.  A Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit (GMWB) is designed to help reduce these uncertainties.

A GMWB is intended to address those concerns but does not provide any guarantee the income will be sufficient to cover any individual's particular needs.  Moreover, the GMWB does not assure that you will receive any return on your investments.  The GMWB also does not protect against loss of purchasing power of assets covered by a GMWB due to inflation.  Even relatively low levels of inflation may have a significant effect on purchasing power if not offset by stronger positive investment returns.  The step-up feature on certain of the GMWBs may provide protection against inflation when there are strong investment returns that coincide with the availability of effecting a step-up.

Payments under the GMWB will first be made from your Contract Value.  Our obligations to pay you more than your Contract Value will only arise under limited circumstances.  Thus, in considering the election of any GMWB you need to consider whether the value to you of the level of protection that is provided by a GMWB and its costs, which reduce Contract Value and offset our risks, are consistent with your level of concern and the minimum level of assets that you want to be sure are guaranteed.

The 5% For Life GMWB with the Joint Option is available only to spouses and differs from the 5% For Life GMWB without the Joint Option (which is available to spouses and unrelated parties) and enjoys the following advantages:

If the Contract Value falls to zero, benefit payments under the endorsement will continue until the death of the last surviving Covered Life if the For Life Guarantee is effective.  (For more information about the For Life Guarantee and for information on who is a Covered Life under this form of GMWB, please see the “Joint 5% For Life Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit With Annual Step-Up” beginning on page 35.)
 
If an Owner dies before the automatic payment of benefits begins, the surviving Covered Life may continue the Contract and the For Life Guarantee is not automatically terminated (as it is on the 5% For Life GMWB without the Joint Option).

The 5% For Life GMWB with Joint Option has a higher charge than the 5% For Life GMWB without the Joint Option.

Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit Important Special Considerations.  Each of the GMWBs provides that the GMWB and all benefits thereunder will terminate on the Income Date, which is the date when annuity payments begin.  The Income Date is either a date that you choose or the Latest Income Date.  The Latest Income Date is generally the date on which the Owner attains age 90 under a Non-Qualified Contract, unless otherwise approved by the Company, or such earlier date as required by the applicable qualified plan, law or regulation.

Before (1) electing a GMWB, (2) electing to annuitize your Contract after having purchased a GMWB, or (3) when the Latest Income Date is approaching and you are thinking about electing or have elected a GMWB, you should consider whether the termination of all benefits under the GMWB and annuitizing produces the better financial results for you.  Naturally, you should discuss with your Jackson representative whether a GMWB is even suitable for you.  Consultation with your financial and tax advisor is also recommended.

These considerations are of greater significance if you are thinking about electing or have elected a GMWB For Life, as the For Life payments will cease when you annuitize voluntarily or on the Latest Income Date.  Although each of the For Life GMWBs contain an annuitization option that may allow the equivalent of For Life payments when you annuitize on the Latest Income Date, all benefits under a GMWB For Life (and under the other GMWBs) will terminate when you annuitize.  To the extent that we can extend the Latest Income Date without adverse tax consequences to you, we will do so, as permitted by the applicable qualified plan, law, or regulation.  After you have consulted your financial and tax advisors you will need to contact us to request an extension of the Latest Income Date.  Please also see “Extension of Latest Income Date” beginning on page 47 for further information regarding possible adverse tax consequences of extending the Latest Income Date.

In addition, with regard to required minimum distributions (RMDs) under an IRA only, it is important to consult your financial and tax advisor to determine whether the benefits of a particular GMWB will satisfy your RMD requirements.  With regard to other qualified plans, you must determine what your qualified plan permits.  Distributions under qualified plans and Tax-Sheltered Annuities must begin by the later of the calendar year in which you attain age 70 1/2 or the calendar year in which you retire.  You do not necessarily have to annuitize your Contract to meet the minimum distribution.

Finally, please note that withdrawals in excess of certain limits may have a significantly negative impact on the value of your GMWB through prematurely reducing the benefit's Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance (GWB) and Guaranteed Annual Withdrawal Amount (GAWA) and, therefore, cause your GMWB to prematurely terminate.  Please see the explanations of withdrawals under each of the following GMWB descriptions for more information concerning the effect of excess withdrawals.

5% Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit With Annual Step-Up (“AutoGuard 5”). The following description is supplemented by the examples in Appendix B that may assist you in understanding how calculations are made in certain circumstances.

PLEASE NOTE:  EFFECTIVE MAY 1, 2011, THIS ENDORSEMENT IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE TO ADD TO A CONTRACT.

For Owners 80 years old and younger on the Contract's Issue Date, or on the date on which this endorsement is selected if after the Contract's Issue Date, a 5% GMWB With Annual Step-Up may be available, which permits an Owner to make partial withdrawals, prior to the Income Date that, in total, are guaranteed to equal the Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance (GWB)(as defined below), regardless of your Contract Value.  The 5% GMWB With Annual Step-Up is not available on a Contract that already has a GMWB (one GMWB only per Contract).  We may further limit the availability of this optional endorsement.  Once selected, the 5% GMWB With Annual Step-Up cannot be canceled.  If you select the 5% GMWB With Annual Step-Up when you purchase your Contract, your premium payment net of any applicable taxes will be used as the basis for determining the GWB.  The 5% GMWB With Annual Step-Up may also be selected after the Issue Date within 30 days before any Contract Anniversary, and the endorsement will take effect on the Contract Anniversary if your request is in Good Order.  If you select the 5% GMWB With Annual Step-Up after the Issue Date, to determine the GWB, we will use your Contract Value on the date the endorsement is added to the Contract.  The GWB can never be more than $5 million (including upon “step-up”), and the GWB is reduced with each withdrawal you take.

Once the GWB has been determined, we calculate the Guaranteed Annual Withdrawal Amount (GAWA), which is the maximum annual partial withdrawal amount, except for certain tax-qualified Contracts (as explained below).  Upon selection, the GAWA is equal to 5% of the GWB.  The GAWA will not be reduced if partial withdrawals taken within any one Contract Year do not exceed 5%.  However, withdrawals are not cumulative.  If you do not take 5% in one Contract Year, you may not take more than 5% the next Contract Year.  If you withdraw more than 5%, the guaranteed amount available may be less than the total premium payments and the GAWA will likely be reduced The GAWA can be divided up and taken on a payment schedule that you request.  You can continue to take the GAWA each Contract Year until the GWB has been depleted.

Withdrawal charges and Excess Interest Adjustments, as applicable, are taken into consideration in calculating the amount of your partial withdrawals pursuant to the 5% GMWB With Annual Step-Up, but these charges or adjustments are offset by your ability to make free withdrawals under the Contract.  For certain tax-qualified Contracts, the 5% GMWB With Annual Step-Up allows for withdrawals greater than GAWA to meet the required minimum distribution (RMD) under the Internal Revenue Code (Code) without compromising the endorsement's guarantees.  Examples 3, 4, 5 and 7 in Appendix B supplement this description.

Premiums are accepted during the first six Contract Months only; however, any time a subsequent premium payment is made, we recalculate the GWB and the GAWA.  Each time you make a premium payment, the GWB is increased by the amount of the net premium payment.  Also, the GAWA will increase by 5% of the net premium payment or 5% of the increase in the GWB, if the maximum GWB is reached.  We require prior approval for a subsequent premium payment, however, that would result in your Contract having $1 million of premiums in the aggregate.  We also reserve the right to refuse subsequent premium payments.  See Example 2b in Appendix B to see how the GWB is recalculated when the $5 million maximum is reached.

If the total of your partial withdrawals made in the current Contract Year is greater than the GAWA, we will recalculate your GWB and your GAWA will likely be lower in the future.  In other words, withdrawing more than the GAWA in any Contract Year could cause the GWB to be reduced by more than the amount of the withdrawal(s), likely reducing the GAWA, too.  Recalculation of the GWB and GAWA may result in reducing or extending the payout period.  Examples 3, 4, 5, and 7 in Appendix B illustrate the impact of such withdrawals.

For certain tax-qualified Contracts, this GMWB allows for withdrawals greater than GAWA to meet the Contract's required minimum distributions (RMDs) under the Internal Revenue Code (Code) without compromising the endorsement's guarantees.  Examples 3, 4, 5, and 7 in Appendix B supplement this description.  Because the intervals for the GAWA and RMDs are different, namely Contract Years versus calendar years, and because RMDs are subject to other conditions and limitations, if your Contract is a tax-qualified Contract, then please see “Required Minimum Distribution Calculations” below for more information.

If the partial withdrawal plus all prior partial withdrawals made in the current Contract Year is less than or equal to the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, the GWB is equal to the greater of:

·
the GWB prior to the partial withdrawal less the partial withdrawal; or

zero.

If all your partial withdrawals made in the current Contract Year are less than or equal to the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, the GAWA is the lesser of:

the GAWA prior to the partial withdrawal; or
 
the GWB after the partial withdrawal.

If the partial withdrawal plus all prior partial withdrawals made in the current Contract Year is greater than the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, and this endorsement was added to your Contract on or after December 3, 2007, the GWB is equal to the greater of:

the GWB prior to the partial withdrawal, first reduced dollar-for-dollar for any portion of the partial withdrawal not defined as an Excess Withdrawal (see below), then reduced in the same proportion that the Contract Value is reduced by the Excess Withdrawal; or
 
zero.

If the partial withdrawal plus all prior partial withdrawals made in the current Contract Year is greater than the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, and this endorsement was added to your Contract on or after December 3, 2007, the GAWA is equal to the lesser of:

the GAWA prior to the partial withdrawal reduced in the same proportion that the Contract Value is reduced by the Excess Withdrawal, or
 
the GWB after the partial withdrawal.

The Excess Withdrawal is defined to be the lesser of:

the total amount of the current partial withdrawal, or
 
the amount by which the cumulative partial withdrawals for the current Contract Year exceeds the greater of the GAWA or the RMD, as applicable.

If the partial withdrawal plus all prior partial withdrawals made in the current Contract Year is greater than the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, and this endorsement was added to your Contract before December 3, 2007, the GWB is equal to the lesser of:

·
the Contract Value after the partial withdrawal; or
 
·
the greater of the GWB prior to the partial withdrawal less the partial withdrawal or zero.

If the partial withdrawal plus all prior partial withdrawals made in the current Contract Year is greater than the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, and this endorsement was added to your Contract before December 3, 2007, the GAWA is equal to the lesser of:

·
the GAWA prior to the partial withdrawal, or
 
·
the GWB after the partial withdrawal, or
 
·
5% of the Contract Value after the partial withdrawal.

Consistent with the explanation above, withdrawals greater than the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, may have a significantly negative impact on the value of this benefit through prematurely reducing the GWB and GAWA and, therefore, cause the benefit to prematurely terminate (see Example 5 in Appendix B).   For purposes of all of these calculations, all partial withdrawals are assumed to be the total amount withdrawn, including any withdrawal charges and Excess Interest Adjustments.

Withdrawals made under the guarantee of this endorsement are considered to be the same as any other partial withdrawals, including systematic withdrawals, for the purposes of calculating any other values under the Contract and any other endorsements.  They are subject to the same restrictions and processing rules as described in the Contract.  Withdrawals under the guarantee of this endorsement are also treated the same for federal income tax purposes.  For more information about tax-qualified and non-qualified Contracts, please see “TAXES” beginning on page 45.

Required Minimum Distribution Calculations.  Notice of an RMD is required at the time of your withdrawal request, and there is an administrative form for such notice.  The administrative form allows for one time or systematic withdrawals.  Eligible withdrawals that are specified as RMDs may only be taken based on the value of the Contract to which the endorsement applies, even where the Code allows for the taking of RMDs for multiple contracts from a single contract.  You, as Owner, are responsible for complying with the Internal Revenue Code's RMD requirements.  If your requested RMD exceeds our calculation of the RMD for your contract, your request will not be eligible for the waiver of any applicable charges (i.e., withdrawal charges) and we will impose those charges, which will be reflected in the confirmation of the transaction.  For information regarding the RMD calculation for your Contract, please contact our Annuity Service Center.  Our contact information is on the cover page of this prospectus.
 
Under the Code, RMDs are calculated and taken on a calendar year basis.  But with the 5% GMWB With Annual Step-Up, GAWA is based on Contract Years.  Because the intervals for the GAWA and RMDs are different, the endorsement's guarantees may be more susceptible to being compromised.  With tax-qualified Contracts, if the sum of your total partial withdrawals in a Contract Year exceed the greatest of either of the RMD for each of the two calendar years occurring in that Contract Year and the GAWA for that Contract Year, then the GWB and GAWA could be adversely recalculated, as described above.  (If your Contract Year is the same as the calendar year, then the sum of your total partial withdrawals should not exceed the greater of the RMD and the GAWA.)  Below is an example of how this modified limit would apply.
 
Assume a tax-qualified Contract with a Contract Year that runs from July 1 to June 30, and that there are no withdrawals other than as described.  The GAWA for the 201 3 Contract Year (ending June 30) is $10.  The RMD requirements for calendar years 201 2 and 201 3 are $14 and $16, respectively.
 
If the Owner takes $7 in each of the two halves of calendar year 201 2 and $8 in each of the two halves of calendar year 201 3 , then at the time the withdrawal in the first half of calendar year 201 3 is taken, the Owner will have withdrawn $15.  Because the sum of the Owner's withdrawals for the 201 3 Contract Year is less than the higher RMD requirement for either of the two calendar years occurring in that Contract Year, the GWB and GAWA would not be adversely recalculated.
 
An exception to this general rule is that with the calendar year in which your RMDs are to begin (generally, when you reach age 70 1/2), however, you may take your RMDs for the current and next calendar years during the same Contract Year, as necessary (see example below).
 
The following example illustrates this exception.  It assumes an individual Owner, born January 1, 194 2 , of a tax-qualified Contract with a Contract Year that runs from July 1 to June 30.
 
If the Owner delays taking his first RMD (the 201 2 RMD) until March 30, 201 3 , he may still take the 201 3 RMD before the next Contract Year begins, June 30, 201 3 without exposing the GWB and GAWA to the possibility of adverse recalculation.  However, if he takes his second RMD (the 201 3 RMD) after June 30, 201 3 , he should wait until the next Contract Year begins (that is after June 30, 201 4 ) to take his third RMD (the 201 4 RMD).  Because, except for the calendar year in which RMDs begin, taking two RMDs in a single Contract Year could cause the GWB and GAWA to be adversely recalculated (if the two RMDs exceeded the applicable GAWA for that Contract Year).
 
Examples that are relevant specific to tax-qualified Contracts, illustrating the GMWB in varying circumstances and with specific factual assumptions, are at the end of the prospectus in Appendix B, particularly examples 3, 4, 5 and 7.  Please consult the representative who is helping, or who helped, you purchase your tax-qualified Contract, and your tax adviser, to be sure that the 5% GMWB With Annual Step-Up ultimately suits your needs relative to your RMD.

Withdrawals made under section 72(t) or section 72(q) of the Code are not considered RMDs for purposes of preserving the guarantees under this GMWB.  Such withdrawals that exceed the GAWA will have the same effect as any withdrawal or excess withdrawal as described above and, consistent with that description, may cause a significant negative impact to your benefit.

Step-Ups. Step-ups with the 5% GMWB With Annual Step-Up reset your GWB to the greater of Contract Value or the GWB before step-up, and GAWA becomes the greater of 5% of the new GWB or GAWA before step-up.  Step-ups occur automatically upon each of the first 12 Contract Anniversaries from the endorsement's effective date, then on or after the 13th Contract Anniversary, at any time upon your request, so long as there is at least one year between step-ups.  Upon election of a Step-Up, the GMWB charge may be increased, subject to the maximum charges listed above.  The request will be processed and effective on the day we receive the request in Good Order.  Before deciding to “step-up,” please consult the representative who helped you purchase your Contract to be sure if a Step-Up is right for you and about any increase in charges upon a Step-Up.  Upon election of a Step-Up, the applicable GMWB charge will be reflected in your confirmation.

Spousal Continuation.  If you die before annuitizing a Contract with the 5% GMWB With Annual Step-Up, the Contract's death benefit is still payable when Contract Value is greater than zero.  Alternatively, the Contract allows the Beneficiary who is your spouse to continue it, retaining all rights previously held by the Owner.  If the spouse continues the Contract and the 5% GMWB With Annual Step-Up endorsement already applies to the Contract, the 5% GMWB With Annual Step-Up will continue and no adjustment will be made to the GWB or the GAWA at the time of continuation.  Step-ups will continue automatically or as permitted (as described above), and Contract Anniversaries will continue to be based on the anniversary of the original Contract's Issue Date.  Upon spousal continuation of a Contract without the 5% GMWB With Annual Step-Up, if the 5% GMWB With Annual Step-Up is available at the time, the Beneficiary may request to add this endorsement within 30 days before any Contract Anniversary, and the endorsement will take effect on the Contract Anniversary if the request is made in Good Order.

Termination.  The 5% GMWB With Annual Step-Up endorsement terminates subject to a prorated GMWB Charge assessed for the period since the last quarterly or monthly statement charge on the date you annuitize or surrender the Contract.  In surrendering the Contract, you will receive the Contract Value less any applicable charges and adjustments and not the GWB or the GAWA you would have received under the 5% GMWB With Annual Step-Up.  The 5% GMWB With Annual Step-Up also terminates: with the Contract upon your death (unless the Beneficiary who is your spouse continues the Contract) or upon the first date both the GWB and Contract Value equal zero – whichever occurs first.

Contract Value Is Zero.  If your Contract Value is reduced to zero as the result of a partial withdrawal, contract charges or poor fund performance and the GWB is greater than zero, the GWB will be paid to you on a periodic basis elected by you, which will be no less frequently than annually, so long as the Contract is still in the accumulation phase.  The total annual payment will equal the GAWA, but will not exceed the current GWB.  The payments continue until the GWB is reduced to zero.

All other rights under your Contract cease and all optional endorsements are terminated without value.  Upon your death as the Owner, your Beneficiary will receive the scheduled payments.  No other death benefit will be paid.

Annuitization.  If you decide to annuitize your Contract, you may choose the following income option instead of one of the other income options listed in your Contract:

Fixed Payment Income Option.  This income option provides payments in a fixed dollar amount for a specific number of years.  The actual number of years that payments will be made is determined on the calculation date by dividing the GWB by the GAWA.  Upon each payment, the GWB will be reduced by the payment amount.  The total annual amount payable will equal the GAWA but will never exceed the current GWB.  This annualized amount will be paid over the specific number of years in the frequency (no less frequently than annually) that you select.  If you should die (assuming you are the Owner) before the payments have been completed, the remaining payments will be made to the Beneficiary, as scheduled.

This income option may not be available if the Contract is issued to qualify under Sections 401, 403, 408 or 457 of the Internal Revenue Code.  For such Contracts, this income option will only be available if the guaranteed period is less than the life expectancy of the Annuitant at the time the option becomes effective.

See “Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit General Considerations” and “Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit Important Special Considerations” beginning on page 25 for additional things to consider before electing a GMWB; when electing to annuitize your Contract after having purchased a GMWB; or when the Latest Income Date is approaching and you are thinking about electing or have elected a GMWB.

Effect of GMWB on Tax Deferral.  The purchase of the 5% GMWB With Annual Step-Up may not be appropriate for the Owners of Contracts who have as a primary objective taking maximum advantage of the tax deferral that is available to them under an annuity contract to accumulate assets.  Please consult your tax and financial advisors on this and other matters prior to electing the 5% GMWB With Annual Step-Up.

5% For Life Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit With Annual Step-Up (“LifeGuard Protector”).The following description of this GMWB is supplemented by the examples in Appendix B, particularly examples 6 and 7 for the Step-Ups and examples 8 and 9 for the For Life guarantees.

PLEASE NOTE:  EFFECTIVE APRIL 30, 2007, THIS ENDORSEMENT IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE TO ADD TO A CONTRACT.

This GMWB guarantees partial withdrawals during the Contract's accumulation phase (i.e., before the Income Date) for the longer of:

The Owner's life (the “For Life Guarantee”) if the For Life Guarantee is in effect;
 
   
The For Life Guarantee is based on the life of the first Owner to die with joint Owners.  There is also another GMWB option for joint Owners that are spouses, as described below.
 
   
For the Owner that is a legal entity, the For Life Guarantee is based on the Annuitant's life (or the life of the first Annuitant to die if there is more than one Annuitant).
 
   
The For Life Guarantee becomes effective on the Contract Anniversary on or immediately following the Owner's 65th birthday (or with joint Owners, the oldest Owner's 65th birthday).  If the Owner (or oldest Owner) is 65 years old or older on the endorsement's effective date, then the For Life Guarantee is effective when this GMWB is added to the Contract.
   
So long as the For Life Guarantee is in effect, withdrawals are guaranteed even in the event Contract Value is reduced to zero.
 
Or
 
   
Until all withdrawals under the Contract equal the Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance (GWB), without regard to Contract Value.
 
   
The GWB is the guaranteed amount available for future periodic withdrawals.
 
Because of the For Life Guarantee, your withdrawals could amount to more than the GWB.  But PLEASE NOTE:  The guarantees of this GMWB are subject to the endorsement's terms, conditions, and limitations that are explained below.

Please consult the representative who is helping, or who helped, you purchase your Contract to be sure that this GMWB ultimately suits your needs.

This GMWB is available to Owners 45 to 80 years old (proof of age is required); may be added to a Contract on the Issue Date or any Contract Anniversary; and once added cannot be canceled except by a Beneficiary who is the Owner's spouse, who, upon the Owner's death, may elect to continue the Contract without the GMWB.  At least 30 calendar days' prior notice and proof of age is required for Good Order to add this GMWB to a Contract on a Contract Anniversary.  This GMWB is not available on a Contract that already has a GMWB (only one GMWB per Contract).  We allow ownership changes of a Contract with this GMWB when the Owner is a legal entity – to another legal entity or the Annuitant.   In certain circumstances, we may permit the elimination of a joint Owner in the event of a divorce.   Otherwise, ownership changes are not allowed.  Also, when the Owner is a legal entity, charges will be determined based on the age of the Annuitant and changing Annuitants is not allowed.  Availability of this GMWB may be subject to further limitation.

There is a limit on withdrawals each Contract Year to keep the guarantees of this GMWB in full effect – the greater of the Guaranteed Annual Withdrawal Amount (GAWA) and for certain tax-qualified Contracts, the required minimum distribution (RMD) under the Internal Revenue Code.  Withdrawals exceeding the limit do not invalidate the For Life Guarantee, but cause the GWB and GAWA to be recalculated.

Election.  The GWB depends on when this GMWB is added to the Contract, and the GAWA derives from the GWB.

When this GMWB is added to
the Contract on the Issue Date
The GWB equals initial premium net of any applicable premium taxes.
 
 
The GAWA equals 5% of the GWB.


When this GMWB is added to
the Contract on any Contract Anniversary
The GWB equals Contract Value.
 
The GAWA equals 5% of the GWB.

PLEASE NOTE:  At the time the for life guarantee becomes effective, the GAWA is reset to equal 5% of the then current GWB.

Premium net of any applicable premium taxes is used to calculate the GWB when this GMWB is added to the Contract on the Issue Date.  If you were to instead add this GMWB to your Contract post issue on any Contract Anniversary, the GWB is calculated based on Contract Value on the date the endorsement is added to the Contract.  The GWB can never be more than $5 million (including upon Step-up), and the GWB is reduced by each withdrawal.

Withdrawals.  Withdrawals may cause both the GWB and GAWA to be recalculated, depending on whether or not the withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, is less than or equal to the GAWA, or for certain tax-qualified Contracts only, the RMD (if greater than the GAWA).  The two tables below clarify what happens in either instance.  (RMD denotes the required minimum distribution under the Internal Revenue Code for certain tax-qualified Contracts only.  There is no RMD for non-qualified Contracts.)  In addition, if the For Life Guarantee is not yet in effect, withdrawals that cause the Contract Value to reduce to zero void the For Life Guarantee.  See “Contract Value is Zero” below for more information.

Required Minimum Distribution Calculations.  For certain tax-qualified Contracts, this GMWB allows withdrawals greater than GAWA to meet the Contract's RMD without compromising the endorsement's guarantees.  Examples 3, 4 and 7 in Appendix B supplement this description.  Because the intervals for the GAWA and RMDs are different, namely Contract Years versus calendar years, and because RMDs are subject to other conditions and limitations, if your Contract is a tax-qualified Contract, then please see “RMD NOTES” below for more information.

When a withdrawal, plus all
prior withdrawals in the
The GWB is recalculated, equaling the greater of:
current Contract Year, is less
than or equal to the greater of
 
The GWB before the withdrawal less the withdrawal; Or
the GAWA or RMD, as applicable
 
Zero.
 
 
The GAWA:
 
   
Is unchanged while the For Life Guarantee is in effect; Otherwise
 
   
Is recalculated, equaling the lesser of the GAWA before the withdrawal, or the GWB after the withdrawal.

The GAWA is not reduced if all withdrawals during any one Contract Year do not exceed the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable.  You may withdraw the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, all at once or throughout the Contract Year.  Withdrawing less than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in a Contract Year does not entitle you to withdraw more than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in the next Contract Year.  The amount you may withdraw each Contract Year and not cause the GWB and GAWA to be recalculated does not accumulate.

Withdrawing more than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in a Contract Year causes the GWB and GAWA to be recalculated (see below and Example 3 in Appendix B).  In recalculating the GWB, the GWB could be reduced by more than the withdrawal amount – even set equal to the Contract Value.  The GAWA is also likely to be reduced.  Therefore, please note that withdrawing more than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in a Contract Year may have a significantly negative impact on the value of this benefit.

When a withdrawal, plus all
prior withdrawals in the

Contract Value after the withdrawal; Or
 
or RMD, as applicable

The GAWA is recalculated, equaling the lesser of:

The greater of 5% of the GWB after the withdrawal, or zero.

Withdrawals under this GMWB are assumed to be the total amount deducted from the Contract Value, including any withdrawal charges and other charges or adjustments.  Any withdrawals from Contract Value allocated to a Fixed Account option may be subject to an Excess Interest Adjustment.  For more information, please see “THE FIXED ACCOUNT” beginning on page 10.  Withdrawals in excess of free withdrawals may be subject to a withdrawal charge.

Withdrawals under this GMWB are considered the same as any other partial withdrawals for the purposes of calculating any other values under the Contract and any other endorsements (for example, the Contract's death benefit).  All withdrawals count toward the total amount withdrawn in a Contract Year, including systematic withdrawals, RMDs for certain tax-qualified Contracts, withdrawals of asset allocation and advisory fees, and free withdrawals under the Contract.  They are subject to the same restrictions and processing rules as described in the Contract.  They are also treated the same for federal income tax purposes.  For more information about tax-qualified and non-qualified Contracts, please see “TAXES” beginning on page 45.

RMD NOTES:  Notice of an RMD is required at the time of your withdrawal request, and there is an administrative form for such notice.  The administrative form allows for one time or systematic withdrawals.  Eligible withdrawals that are specified as RMDs may only be taken based on the value of the Contract to which the endorsement applies, even where the Internal Revenue Code allows for the taking of RMDs for multiple contracts from a single contract.  You, as Owner, are responsible for complying with the Internal Revenue Code's RMD requirements.  If your requested RMD exceeds our calculation of the RMD for your contract, your request will not be eligible for the waiver of any applicable charges (i.e., withdrawal charges) and we will impose those charges, which will be reflected in the confirmation of the transaction.  For information regarding the RMD calculation for your Contract, please contact our Annuity Service Center.  Our contact information is on the cover page of this prospectus.
 
Under the Internal Revenue Code, RMDs are calculated and taken on a calendar year basis.  But with this GMWB, the GAWA is based on Contract Years.  Because the intervals for the GAWA and RMDs are different, the For Life Guarantee may be more susceptible to being compromised.  With tax-qualified Contracts, if the sum of your total partial withdrawals in a Contract Year exceed the greatest of the RMD for each of the two calendar years occurring in that Contract Year and the GAWA for that Contract Year, then the GWB and GAWA could be adversely recalculated, as described above.  (If your Contract Year is the same as the calendar year, then the sum of your total partial withdrawals should not exceed the greater of the RMD and the GAWA.)  Below is an example of how this modified limit would apply.
 
Assume a tax-qualified Contract with a Contract Year that runs from July 1 to June 30, and that there are no withdrawals other than as described.  The GAWA for the 201 3 Contract Year (ending June 30) is $10.  The RMDs for calendar years 201 2 and 201 3 are $14 and $16, respectively.
 
If the Owner takes $7 in each of the two halves of calendar year 201 2 and $8 in each of the two halves of calendar year 201 3 , then at the time the withdrawal in the first half of calendar year 201 3 is taken, the Owner will have withdrawn $15.  Because the sum of the Owner's withdrawals for the 201 3 Contract Year is less than the higher RMD for either of the two calendar years occurring in that Contract Year, the GWB and GAWA would not be adversely recalculated.
 
An exception to this general rule is that with the calendar year in which your RMDs are to begin (generally, when you reach age 70 1/2), however, you may take your RMDs for the current and next calendar years during the same Contract Year, as necessary (see example below).
 
The following example illustrates this exception.  It assumes an individual Owner, born January 1, 194 2 , of a tax-qualified Contract with a Contract Year that runs from July 1 to June 30.
 
If the Owner delays taking his first RMD (the 201 2 RMD) until March 30, 201 3 , he may still take the 201 3 RMD before the next Contract Year begins, June 30, 201 3 without exposing the GWB and GAWA to the possibility of adverse recalculation.  However, if he takes his second RMD (the 201 3 RMD) after June 30, 201 3 , he should wait until the next Contract Year begins (that is after June 30, 201 4 ) to take his third RMD (the 201 4 RMD).  Because, except for the calendar year in which RMDs begin, taking two RMDs in a single Contract Year could cause the GWB and GAWA to be adversely recalculated (if the two RMDs exceeded the applicable GAWA for that Contract Year).
 
Examples that are relevant specific to tax-qualified Contracts, illustrating this GMWB, in varying circumstances and with specific factual assumptions, are at the end of the prospectus in Appendix B, particularly examples 3, 4, and 7.  Please consult the representative who is helping, or who helped, you purchase your tax-qualified Contract, and your tax adviser, to be sure that this GMWB ultimately suits your needs relative to your RMD.

Withdrawals made under section 72(t) or section 72(q) of the Code are not considered RMDs for purposes of preserving the guarantees under this GMWB.  Such withdrawals that exceed the GAWA will have the same effect as any withdrawal or excess withdrawal as described above and, consistent with that description, may cause a significant negative impact to your benefit.

Premiums.

Premiums are accepted during
the first six Contract Months only;
however, with each subsequent
The GWB is recalculated, increasing by the amount of the premium net of any applicable premium taxes.
 premium payment on the Contract
The GAWA is also recalculated, increasing by:
 
   
5% of the premium net of any applicable premium taxes; Or
 
   
5% of the increase in the GWB – if the maximum GWB is hit.

We require prior approval for a subsequent premium payment that would result in your Contract having $1 million of premiums in the aggregate.  We also reserve the right to refuse subsequent premium payments.  The GWB can never be more than $5 million.  See Example 2b in Appendix B to see how the GWB is recalculated when the $5 million maximum is hit.

Step-Up.  In the event Contract Value is greater than the GWB, this GMWB allows the GWB to be reset to the Contract Value (a “Step-Up”).  Upon election of a Step-Up, the GMWB charge may be increased, subject to the maximum charges listed above.

With a Step-Up
The GWB equals Contract Value.
 
 
The GAWA is recalculated, equaling the greater of:
 
   
5% of the new GWB; Or
 
   
The GAWA before the Step-Up.

Step-Ups occur automatically upon each of the first ten Contract Anniversaries from the endorsement's effective date.  Thereafter, a Step-Up is allowed at any time upon your request, so long as there is at least one year between Step-Ups.  The GWB can never be more than $5 million with a Step-Up.  A request for Step-Up is processed and effective on the date received in Good Order.  Please consult the representative who helped you purchase your Contract to be sure if a Step-Up is right for you and about any increase in charges upon a Step-Up.  Upon election of a Step-Up, the applicable GMWB charge will be reflected in your confirmation.

Owner's Death.  The Contract's death benefit is not affected by this GMWB so long as Contract Value is greater than zero and the Contract is still in the accumulation phase.  Upon your death (or the first Owner's death with joint Owners), this GMWB terminates without value.

Contract Value Is Zero.  With this GMWB, in the event Contract Value is zero, the GAWA is unchanged and payable so long as the For Life Guarantee is in effect and the Contract is still in the accumulation phase.  Otherwise, payments will be made while there is value to the GWB (until depleted), so long as the Contract is still in the accumulation phase.  Payments are made on the periodic basis you elect, but no less frequently than annually.

After each payment when
the Contract Value is zero
The GWB is recalculated, equaling the greater of:
 
   
The GWB before the payment less the payment; Or
 
   
Zero.
 
 
The GAWA:
 
   
Is unchanged so long as the For Life Guarantee is in effect; Otherwise
 
   
Is recalculated, equaling the lesser of the GAWA before, or the GWB after, the payment.

If you die before all scheduled payments are made, then your Beneficiary will receive the remainder.  All other rights under your Contract cease, except for the right to change Beneficiaries.  All optional endorsements terminate without value.  And no other death benefit is payable.

Spousal Continuation.  In the event of the Owner's death (or the first Owner's death with joint Owners), the Beneficiary who is the Owner's spouse may elect to:

Continue the Contract with this GMWB – so long as Contract Value is greater than zero, and the Contract is still in the accumulation phase.  (The date the spousal Beneficiary's election to continue the Contract is in Good Order is called the Continuation Date.)
 
   
Upon the Owner's death, the For Life Guarantee is void.
 
   
Only the GWB is payable while there is value to it (until depleted).
 
   
Step-Ups will continue automatically or as permitted; otherwise, the above rules for Step-Ups apply.
 
   
Contract Anniversaries will continue to be based on the Contract's Issue Date.
 
Continue the Contract without this GMWB (GMWB is terminated).
 
Add this GMWB to the Contract on any Contract Anniversary after the Continuation Date, subject to the Beneficiary's eligibility – whether or not the spousal Beneficiary terminated the GMWB in continuing the Contract.

For more information about spousal continuation of a Contract, please see “Special Spousal Continuation Option” beginning on page 44.

Termination.  This GMWB terminates subject to a prorated GMWB Charge assessed for the period since the last quarterly or monthly charge and all benefits cease on the earliest of:

The Income Date;
 
The date of complete withdrawal of Contract Value (full surrender of the Contract);
 
The date of the Owner's death (or the first Owner's death with joint Owners), unless the Beneficiary who is the Owner's spouse elects to continue the Contract with the GMWB;
 
The Continuation Date if the spousal Beneficiary elects to continue the Contract without the GMWB; or
 
The date all obligations under this GMWB are satisfied after the Contract Value is zero.

Annuitization.

Life Income of GAWA.  On the Latest Income Date if the For Life Guarantee is in effect, the Owner may choose this income option instead of one of the other income options listed in the Contract.  This income option provides payments in a fixed dollar amount for the lifetime of the Owner (or, with joint Owners, the lifetime of joint Owner who dies first).  The total annual amount payable will equal the GAWA in effect at the time of election of this option.  This annualized amount will be paid in the frequency (no less frequently than annually) that the Owner selects.  No further annuity payments are payable after the death of the Owner (or the first Owner's death with joint Owners), and there is no provision for a death benefit payable to the Beneficiary.  Therefore, it is possible for only one annuity payment to be made under this Income Option if the Owner dies before the due date of the second payment.

Specified Period Income of the GAWA.  On the Latest Income Date if the For Life Guarantee is not in effect, the Owner may choose this income option instead of one of the other income options listed in the Contract.  (This income option only applies if the GMWB has been continued by the spousal Beneficiary upon the death of the original Owner, in which case the spouse becomes the Owner of the Contract and the Latest Income Date is based on the age of the spouse.)

This income option provides payments in a fixed dollar amount for a specific number of years.  The actual number of years that payments will be made is determined on the calculation date by dividing the GWB by the GAWA.  Upon each payment, the GWB will be reduced by the payment amount.  The total annual amount payable will equal the GAWA but will never exceed the current GWB.  This annualized amount will be paid over the specific number of years in the frequency (no less frequently than annually) that the Owner selects.  If the Owner should die before the payments have been completed, the remaining payments will be made to the Beneficiary, as scheduled.

The “Specified Period Income of the GAWA” income option may not be available if the Contract is issued to qualify under Sections 401, 403, 408 or 457 of the Internal Revenue Code.  For such Contracts, this income option will only be available if the guaranteed period is less than the life expectancy of the spouse at the time the option becomes effective.

See “Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit General Considerations” and “Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit Important Special Considerations” beginning on page 25 for additional things to consider before electing a GMWB; when electing to annuitize your Contract after having purchased a GMWB; or when the Latest Income Date is approaching and you are thinking about electing or have elected a GMWB.

Effect of GMWB on Tax Deferral.  This GMWB may not be appropriate for Owners who have as a primary objective taking maximum advantage of the tax deferral that is available to them under an annuity contract to accumulate assets.  Please consult your tax and financial advisors before adding this GMWB to a Contract.

Joint 5% For Life Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit With Annual Step-Up (“LifeGuard Protector With Joint Option”).  The description of this GMWB is supplemented by the examples in Appendix B, particularly examples 6 and 7 for the Step-Ups and example 9 for the For Life Guarantee.

PLEASE NOTE:  EFFECTIVE APRIL 30, 2007, THIS ENDORSEMENT IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE TO ADD TO A CONTRACT.

This GMWB is available for both non-qualified and tax-qualified Contracts.  For non-qualified Contracts, there must be joint Owners and the joint Owners are required to be spouses (as defined under the Internal Revenue Code).  Each joint Owner is considered to be a “Covered Life.”

The Owners cannot be subsequently changed and new Owners cannot be added.  Upon death of either joint Owner, the surviving joint Owner will be treated as the primary Beneficiary and all other Beneficiaries will be treated as contingent Beneficiaries.  The For Life Guarantee will not apply to these contingent Beneficiaries, as they are not Covered Lives.

This GMWB is available on a limited basis under non-qualified Contracts for certain kinds of legal entities, such as (i) custodial accounts where the spouses are the joint Annuitants and (ii) trusts where the spouses are the sole beneficial owners, and the For Life Guarantee is based on the Annuitant's life who dies last.

Tax-qualified Contracts cannot be issued to joint Owners and require the Owner and Annuitant to be the same person.  Under a tax-qualified Contract, the election of this GMWB requires the Owner and primary Beneficiary to be spouses (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code).  The Owner and only the primary spousal Beneficiary named at the election of this GMWB under a tax-qualified Contract will also each be considered a Covered Life, and these Covered Lives cannot be subsequently changed.

In certain circumstances we may permit the elimination of a joint Owner Covered Life or primary spousal Beneficiary Covered Life in the event of divorce.  In such cases, new Covered Lives may not be named.

For tax-qualified Contracts, the Owner and primary spousal Beneficiary cannot be changed while both are living.  If the Owner dies first, the primary spousal Beneficiary will become the Owner upon Spousal Continuation and he or she may name a Beneficiary; however, that Beneficiary is not considered a Covered Life.  Likewise, if the primary spousal Beneficiary dies first, the Owner may name a new Beneficiary; however, that Beneficiary is also not considered a Covered Life and consequently the For Life Guarantee will not apply to the new Beneficiary.

For both non-qualified and tax-qualified Contracts, this GMWB guarantees partial withdrawals during the Contract's accumulation phase (i.e., before the Income Date) for the longer of:

The lifetime of the last surviving Covered Life if the For Life Guarantee is in effect;

The For Life Guarantee becomes effective on the Contract Anniversary on or immediately following the youngest Covered Life's 65th birthday.  If the youngest Covered Life is 65 years old or older on the endorsement's effective date, then the For Life Guarantee is effective when this GMWB is added to the Contract.

So long as the For Life Guarantee is in effect, withdrawals are guaranteed even in the event Contract Value is reduced to zero.

Or

Until all withdrawals under the Contract equal the Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance (GWB), without regard to Contract Value.

The GWB is the guaranteed amount available for future periodic withdrawals.

Because of the For Life Guarantee, your withdrawals could amount to more than the GWB.  But PLEASE NOTE:  The guarantees of this GMWB are subject to the endorsement's terms, conditions, and limitations that are explained below.

Please consult the representative who is helping, or who helped, you purchase your Contract to be sure that this GMWB ultimately suits your needs.

This GMWB is available to Covered Lives 45 to 80 years old (proof of age is required and both Covered Lives must be within the eligible age range).  If the age of any Covered Life is incorrectly stated at the time of election of the GMWB, on the date the misstatement is discovered, the Contract Value will be adjusted by the difference between the charges actually paid and the charges that would have been paid assuming the correct age.  Future GMWB charges will be based on the correct age.  If the age at election of either Covered Life falls outside the allowable age range, the GMWB will be null and void and all GMWB charges will be refunded.

This GMWB may be added to a Contract on the Issue Date or on any Contract Anniversary and it cannot be canceled except by a spousal Beneficiary who is not a Covered Life, who, upon the Owner's death, may elect to continue the Contract without the GMWB.  To continue joint GMWB coverage upon the death of the Owner (or the death of either joint Owner of a non-qualified Contract), provided that the other Covered Life is still living, the Contract must be continued by election of Spousal Continuation.  Upon continuation, the spouse becomes the Owner and obtains all rights as the Owner.

At least 30 calendar days' prior notice and proof of age is required for Good Order to add this GMWB to a Contract on a Contract Anniversary.  This GMWB is not available on a Contract that already has a GMWB (only one GMWB per Contract).  Availability of this GMWB may be subject to further limitation.

There is a limit on withdrawals each Contract Year to keep the guarantees of this GMWB in full effect, which is the maximum of the Guaranteed Annual Withdrawal Amount (GAWA) or the required minimum distribution.  Withdrawals exceeding the limit do not invalidate the For Life Guarantee, but cause the GWB and GAWA to be recalculated.

Election.  The GWB depends on when this GMWB is added to the Contract, and the GAWA derives from the GWB.

When this GMWB is added to
the Contract on the Issue Date
The GWB equals initial premium net of any applicable premium taxes.
 
The GAWA equals 5% of the GWB.

When this GMWB is added to
the Contract on any Contract Anniversary
The GWB equals Contract Value.
 
The GAWA equals 5% of the GWB.

PLEASE NOTE:  At the time the for life guarantee becomes effective, the GAWA is reset to equal 5% of the then current GWB.

Premium net of any applicable premium taxes is used to calculate the GWB when this GMWB is added to the Contract on the Issue Date.  If you were to instead add this GMWB to your Contract post issue on any Contract Anniversary, the GWB is calculated based on Contract Value on the date the endorsement is added to the Contract.  The GWB can never be more than $5 million (including upon Step-up), and the GWB is reduced by each withdrawal.

Withdrawals.  Withdrawals may cause both the GWB and GAWA to be recalculated, depending on whether or not the withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, is less than or equal to the GAWA, or for certain tax-qualified Contracts only, the RMD (if greater than the GAWA).  The two tables below clarify what happens in either instance.  (RMD denotes the required minimum distribution under the Internal Revenue Code for certain tax-qualified Contracts only.  There is no RMD for non-qualified Contracts.)   In addition, if the For Life Guarantee is not yet in effect, withdrawals that cause the Contract Value to reduce to zero void the For Life Guarantee.  See “Contract Value is Zero” below for more information.

Required Minimum Distribution Calculations.  For certain tax-qualified Contracts, this GMWB allows withdrawals greater than GAWA to meet the Contract's RMD without compromising the endorsement's guarantees.  Examples 3, 4 and 7 in Appendix B supplement this description.  Because the intervals for the GAWA and RMDs are different, namely Contract Years versus calendar years, and because RMDs are subject to other conditions and limitations, if your Contract is a tax-qualified Contract, then please see “RMD NOTES” below for more information.

When a withdrawal, plus all
prior withdrawals in the current
The GWB is recalculated, equaling the greater of:
 
Contract Year, is less than or
equal to the greater of
 
The GWB before the withdrawal less the withdrawal; Or
 
the GAWA or RMD,
as applicable
 
Zero.
 
 
The GAWA:
 
   
Is unchanged while the For Life Guarantee is in effect; Otherwise
 
   
Is recalculated, equaling the lesser of the GAWA before the withdrawal, or the GWB after the withdrawal.

The GAWA is not reduced if all withdrawals during any one Contract Year do not exceed the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable.  You may withdraw the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, all at once or throughout the Contract Year.  Withdrawing less than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in a Contract Year does not entitle you to withdraw more than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in the next Contract Year.  The amount you may withdraw each Contract Year and not cause the GWB and GAWA to be recalculated does not accumulate.

Withdrawing more than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in a Contract Year causes the GWB and GAWA to be recalculated (see below and Example 3 in Appendix B).  In recalculating the GWB, the GWB could be reduced by more than the withdrawal amount – even set equal to the Contract Value.  The GAWA is also likely to be reduced.Therefore, please note that withdrawing more than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in a Contract Year may have a significantly negative impact on the value of this benefit.

When a withdrawal, plus all
prior withdrawals in the current
The GWB is recalculated, equaling the lesser of:
 
Contract Year, exceeds the greater
of the GAWA or RMD,
 
Contract Value after the withdrawal; Or
 
as applicable
 
The greater of the GWB before the withdrawal less the withdrawal, or zero.
 
 
The GAWA is recalculated, equaling the lesser of:
 
   
5% of the Contract Value after the withdrawal; Or
 
   
The greater of 5% of the GWB after the withdrawal, or zero.

Withdrawals under this GMWB are assumed to be the total amount deducted from the Contract Value, including any withdrawal charges and other charges or adjustments.  Any withdrawals from Contract Value allocated to a Fixed Account option may be subject to an Excess Interest Adjustment.  For more information, please see “THE FIXED ACCOUNT” beginning on page 10.  Withdrawals in excess of free withdrawals may be subject to a withdrawal charge.

Withdrawals under this GMWB are considered the same as any other partial withdrawals for the purposes of calculating any other values under the Contract and any other endorsements (for example, the Contract's death benefit).  All withdrawals count toward the total amount withdrawn in a Contract Year, including systematic withdrawals, RMDs for certain tax-qualified Contracts, withdrawals of asset allocation and advisory fees, and free withdrawals under the Contract.  They are subject to the same restrictions and processing rules as described in the Contract.  They are also treated the same for federal income tax purposes.  For more information about tax-qualified and non-qualified Contracts, please see “TAXES” beginning on page 45.

RMD NOTES:  Notice of an RMD is required at the time of your withdrawal request, and there is an administrative form for such notice.  The administrative form allows for one time or systematic withdrawals.  Eligible withdrawals that are specified as RMDs may only be taken based on the value of the Contract to which the endorsement applies, even where the Internal Revenue Code allows for the taking of RMDs for multiple contracts from a single contract.  You, as Owner, are responsible for complying with the Internal Revenue Code's RMD requirements.  If your requested RMD exceeds our calculation of the RMD for your contract, your request will not be eligible for the waiver of any applicable charges (i.e., withdrawal charges) and we will impose those charges, which will be reflected in the confirmation of the transaction.  For information regarding the RMD calculation for your Contract, please contact our Annuity Service Center.  Our contact information is on the cover page of this prospectus.
 
Under the Internal Revenue Code, RMDs are calculated and taken on a calendar year basis.  But with this GMWB, the GAWA is based on Contract Years.  Because the intervals for the GAWA and RMDs are different, the For Life Guarantee may be more susceptible to being compromised.  With tax-qualified Contracts, if the sum of your total partial withdrawals in a Contract Year exceed the greatest of the RMD for each of the two calendar years occurring in that Contract Year and the GAWA for that Contract Year, then the GWB and GAWA could be adversely recalculated, as described above.  (If your Contract Year is the same as the calendar year, then the sum of your total partial withdrawals should not exceed the greater of the RMD and the GAWA.)  Below is an example of how this modified limit would apply.
 
Assume a tax-qualified Contract with a Contract Year that runs from July 1 to June 30, and that there are no withdrawals other than as described.  The GAWA for the 201 3 Contract Year (ending June 30) is $10.  The RMDs for calendar years 201 2 and 201 3 are $14 and $16, respectively.
 
If the Owner takes $7 in each of the two halves of calendar year 201 2 and $8 in each of the two halves of calendar year 201 3 , then at the time the withdrawal in the first half of calendar year 201 3 is taken, the Owner will have withdrawn $15.  Because the sum of the Owner's withdrawals for the 201 3 Contract Year is less than the higher RMD for either of the two calendar years occurring in that Contract Year, the GWB and GAWA would not be adversely recalculated.
 
An exception to this general rule is that with the calendar year in which your RMDs are to begin (generally, when you reach age 70 1/2), however, you may take your RMDs for the current and next calendar years during the same Contract Year, as necessary (see example below).
 
The following example illustrates this exception.  It assumes an individual Owner, born January 1, 194 2 , of a tax-qualified Contract with a Contract Year that runs from July 1 to June 30.
 
If the Owner delays taking his first RMD (the 201 2 RMD) until March 30, 201 3 , he may still take the 201 3 RMD before the next Contract Year begins, June 30, 201 3 without exposing the GWB and GAWA to the possibility of adverse recalculation.  However, if he takes his second RMD (the 201 3 RMD) after June 30, 201 3 , he should wait until the next Contract Year begins (that is after June 30, 201 4 ) to take his third RMD (the 201 4 RMD).  Because, except for the calendar year in which RMDs begin, taking two RMDs in a single Contract Year could cause the GWB and GAWA to be adversely recalculated (if the two RMDs exceeded the applicable GAWA for that Contract Year).
 
Examples that are relevant specific to tax-qualified Contracts, illustrating this GMWB, in varying circumstances and with specific factual assumptions, are at the end of the prospectus in Appendix B, particularly examples 3, 4, and 7.  Please consult the representative who is helping, or who helped, you purchase your tax-qualified Contract, and your tax adviser, to be sure that this GMWB ultimately suits your needs relative to your RMD.

Withdrawals made under section 72(t) or section 72(q) of the Code are not considered RMDs for purposes of preserving the guarantees under this GMWB.  Such withdrawals that exceed the GAWA will have the same effect as any withdrawal or excess withdrawal as described above and, consistent with that description, may cause a significant negative impact to your benefit.

Premiums.

Premiums are accepted
during the first six Contract
The GWB is recalculated, increasing by the amount of the premium net of any applicable premium taxes.
Months only; however, with
each subsequent premium payment
on the Contract
 
The GAWA is also recalculated, increasing by:
 
   
5% of the premium net of any applicable premium taxes; Or
 
   
5% of the increase in the GWB – if the maximum GWB is hit.

We require prior approval for a subsequent premium payment that would result in your Contract having $1 million of premiums in the aggregate.  We also reserve the right to refuse subsequent premium payments.  The GWB can never be more than $5 million.  See Example 2b in Appendix B to see how the GWB is recalculated when the $5 million maximum is hit.

Step-Up.  In the event Contract Value is greater than the GWB, this GMWB allows the GWB to be reset to the Contract Value (a “Step-Up”).  Upon election of a Step-Up, the GMWB charge may be increased, subject to the maximum charges listed above.

With a Step-Up
The GWB equals Contract Value.
 
 
The GAWA is recalculated, equaling the greater of:
 
   
5% of the new GWB; Or
 
   
The GAWA before the Step-Up.

Step-Ups occur automatically upon each of the first ten Contract Anniversaries from the endorsement's effective date.  Thereafter, a Step-Up is allowed at any time upon your request, so long as there is at least one year between Step-Ups.  The GWB can never be more than $5 million with a Step-Up.  A request for Step-Up is processed and effective on the date received in Good Order.  Please consult the representative who helped you purchase your Contract to be sure if a Step-Up is right for you and about any increase in charges upon a Step-Up.  Upon election of a Step-Up, the applicable GMWB charge will be reflected in your confirmation.

Owner's Death.  The Contract's death benefit is not affected by this GMWB so long as Contract Value is greater than zero and the Contract is still in the accumulation phase.  Upon the death of the sole Owner of a qualified Contract or the death of either joint Owner of a non-qualified Contract while the Contract is still in force and before the Income Date, this GMWB terminates without value unless continued by the spouse.  Please see the information beginning on page 35 regarding the required ownership and Beneficiary structure under both qualified and non-qualified Contracts when selecting the Joint 5% For Life GMWB With Annual Step-Up benefit.

Contract Value Is Zero.  With this GMWB, in the event Contract Value is zero, the GAWA is unchanged and payable so long as the For Life Guarantee is in effect and the Contract is still in the accumulation phase.  Otherwise, payments will be made while there is value to the GWB (until depleted), so long as the Contract is still in the accumulation phase.  Payments are made on the periodic basis you elect, but no less frequently than annually.

After each payment when
the Contract Value is zero
The GWB is recalculated, equaling the greater of:
 
   
The GWB before the payment less the payment; Or
 
   
Zero.
 
 
The GAWA:
 
   
Is unchanged so long as the For Life Guarantee is in effect; Otherwise
 
   
Is recalculated, equaling the lesser of the GAWA before, or the GWB after, the payment.

If you die before all scheduled payments are made, then your Beneficiary will receive the remainder.  All other rights under your Contract cease, except for the right to change Beneficiaries.  All optional endorsements terminate without value.  And no other death benefit is payable.

Spousal Continuation.  In the event of the Owner's (or either joint Owner's) death, the surviving spousal Beneficiary may elect to:

Continue the Contract with this GMWB – so long as the Contract Value is greater than zero, and the Contract is still in the accumulation phase.  (The date the spousal Beneficiary's election to continue the Contract is in Good Order is called the Continuation Date.)
 
   
If the surviving spouse is a Covered Life and the For Life Guarantee is already in effect, then the For Life Guarantee remains effective on and after the Continuation Date.  If the For Life Guarantee is not already in effect and the surviving spouse is a Covered Life, the For Life Guarantee becomes effective on the Contract Anniversary on or immediately following the youngest original Covered Life's 65th birthday, and the above rules for the For Life Guarantee apply.  The effective date of the For Life Guarantee will be set on the effective date of the endorsement.
 
If the surviving spouse is not a Covered Life, the For Life Guarantee is null and void.  However, the surviving spouse will be entitled to make withdrawals until the GWB is exhausted.
 
   
For a surviving spouse who is a Covered Life, continuing the Contract with this GMWB is necessary to be able to fully realize the benefit of the For Life Guarantee.  The For Life Guarantee is not a separate guarantee and only applies if the related GMWB has not terminated. 
 
   
Step-Ups will continue automatically or as permitted in accordance with the above rules for Step-Ups.
 
   
Contract Anniversaries will continue to be based on the original Contract's Issue Date.
 
   
A new joint Owner may not be added in a non-qualified Contract if a surviving spouse continues the Contract.
 
Continue the Contract without this GMWB (GMWB is terminated) if the surviving spouse is not a Covered Life.  Thereafter, no GMWB charge will be assessed.  If the surviving spouse is a Covered Life, the Contract cannot be continued without this GMWB.
 
Add another GMWB to the Contract on any Contract Anniversary after the Continuation Date, subject to the spousal Beneficiary's eligibility, and provided that this GMWB was terminated on the Continuation Date.

For more information about spousal continuation of a Contract, please see “Special Spousal Continuation Option” beginning on page 44.

Termination.  This GMWB terminates subject to a prorated GMWB Charge assessed for the period since the last quarterly or monthly charge and all benefits cease on the earliest of:

The Income Date;
 
The date of complete withdrawal of Contract Value (full surrender of the Contract);
 
The date of death of the sole Owner of a qualified Contract or the death of either joint Owner of a non-qualified Contract, unless the Beneficiary who is the Owner's spouse elects to continue the Contract with the GMWB (continuing the Contract with this GMWB is necessary to be able to fully realize the benefit of the For Life Guarantee if the surviving spouse is a Covered Life);
 
The Continuation Date if the spousal Beneficiary, who is not a Covered Life, elects to continue the Contract without the GMWB; or
 
The date all obligations under this GMWB are satisfied after the Contract Value is zero.

Annuitization.

Joint Life Income of GAWA.  On the Latest Income Date if the For Life Guarantee is in effect, the Owner may choose this income option instead of one of the other income options listed in the Contract.  This income option provides payments in a fixed dollar amount for the lifetime of last surviving Covered Life.  The total annual amount payable will equal the GAWA in effect at the time of election of this option.  This annualized amount will be paid in the frequency (no less frequently than annually) that the Owner selects.  No further annuity payments are payable after the death of the last surviving Covered Life, and there is no provision for a death benefit payable to the Beneficiary.  Therefore, it is possible for only one annuity payment to be made under this Income Option if both Covered Lives die before the due date of the second payment.

Specified Period Income of the GAWA.  On the Latest Income Date if the For Life Guarantee is not in effect, the Owner may choose this income option instead of one of the other income options listed in the Contract.  (This income option only applies if the GMWB has been continued by the spousal Beneficiary and the spousal Beneficiary is not a Covered Life in which case the spouse becomes the Owner of the Contract and the Latest Income Date is based on the age of the spouse.)

This income option provides payments in a fixed dollar amount for a specific number of years.  The actual number of years that payments will be made is determined on the calculation date by dividing the GWB by the GAWA.  Upon each payment, the GWB will be reduced by the payment amount.  The total annual amount payable will equal the GAWA but will never exceed the current GWB.  This annualized amount will be paid over the specific number of years in the frequency (no less frequently than annually) that the Owner selects.  If the Owner should die before the payments have been completed, the remaining payments will be made to the Beneficiary, as scheduled.

The “Specified Period Income of the GAWA” income option may not be available if the Contract is issued to qualify under Sections 401, 403, 408 or 457 of the Internal Revenue Code.  For such Contracts, this income option will only be available if the guaranteed period is less than the life expectancy of the spouse at the time the option becomes effective.

See “Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit General Considerations” and “Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit Important Special Considerations” beginning on page 25 for additional things to consider before electing a GMWB; when electing to annuitize your Contract after having purchased a GMWB; or when the Latest Income Date is approaching and you are thinking about electing or have elected a GMWB.

Effect of GMWB on Tax Deferral.  This GMWB may not be appropriate for Owners who have as a primary objective taking maximum advantage of the tax deferral that is available to them under an annuity contract to accumulate assets.  Please consult your tax and financial advisors before adding this GMWB to a Contract.

Systematic Withdrawal Program.  You can arrange to have money automatically sent to you periodically while your Contract is still in the accumulation phase.  You may withdraw a specified dollar amount (of at least $50 per withdrawal), a specified percentage or earnings.  Your withdrawals may be on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis.  If you have arranged for systematic withdrawals, schedule any planned Step-Up under a GMWB to occur prior to the withdrawal.  Example 7 in Appendix B illustrates the consequences of a withdrawal preceding a Step-Up.  There is no charge for the Systematic Withdrawal Program; however, you will have to pay taxes on the money you receive.  You may also be subject to a withdrawal charge and an Excess Interest Adjustment.

Suspension of Withdrawals or Transfers.  We may be required to suspend or delay withdrawals or transfers to or from an Investment Division when:

the New York Stock Exchange is closed (other than customary weekend and holiday closings);
 
under applicable SEC rules, trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted;
 
under applicable SEC rules, an emergency exists so that it is not reasonably practicable to dispose of securities in an Investment Division or determine the value of its assets; or
 
the SEC, by order, may permit for the protection of Contract Owners.

We have reserved the right to defer payment for a withdrawal or transfer from the Fixed Account for up to six months or the period permitted by law.

INCOME PAYMENTS (THE INCOME PHASE)

The income phase of your Contract occurs when you begin receiving regular income payments from us.  The Income Date is the day those payments begin.  Once income payments begin, the Contract cannot be returned to the accumulation phase.  You can choose the Income Date and an income option.  All of the Contract Value must be annuitized.  The income options are described below.

If you do not choose an income option, we will assume that you selected option 3, which provides a life annuity with 120 months of guaranteed payments.

You can change the Income Date or income option at least seven days before the Income Date, but changes to the Income Date may only be to a later date.  You must give us written notice at least seven days before the scheduled Income Date.  Income payments must begin by your 90th birthday under a non-qualified Contract, unless otherwise approved by the Company, or by such earlier date as required by the applicable qualified plan, law or regulation.  However, if you have not yet attained or passed age 90, you may elect to change your Income Date to the Contract Anniversary on or next following your 95th birthday.  Additionally, if you already attained or passed age 90 as of April 6, 2009 and have not yet started receiving income payments, you may elect to change your Income Date to the Contract Anniversary on or next following your 100th birthday.

Under a traditional Individual Retirement Annuity, required minimum distributions must begin in the calendar year in which you attain age 70 1/2 (or such other age as required by law).  Distributions under qualified plans and Tax-Sheltered Annuities must begin by the later of the calendar year in which you attain age 70 1/2 or the calendar year in which you retire.  You do not necessarily have to annuitize your Contract to meet the minimum distribution requirements for Individual Retirement Annuities, qualified plans, and Tax-Sheltered Annuities.  Distributions from Roth IRAs are not required prior to your death.

At the Income Date, you can choose to receive fixed payments or variable payments based on the Investment Divisions.  Unless you tell us otherwise, your income payments will be based on the fixed and variable options that were in place on the Income Date.

You can choose to have income payments made monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually.  Or you can choose a single lump sum payment.  If you have less than $5,000 to apply toward an income option and state law permits, we may provide your payment in a single lump sum, part of which may be taxable as Federal Income.  Likewise, if your first income payment would be less than $50 and state law permits, we may set the frequency of payments so that the first payment would be at least $50.

Variable Income Payments.  If you choose to have any portion of your income payments based upon one or more Investment Divisions, the dollar amount of your initial annuity payment will depend primarily upon the following:

the amount of your Contract Value you allocate to the Investment Division(s) on the Income Date;
 
the amount of any applicable premium taxes or withdrawal charges and any Excess Interest Adjustment deducted from your Contract Value on the Income Date;
 
which income option you select; and
 
the investment factors listed in your Contract that translate the amount of your Contract Value (as adjusted for applicable charges, frequency of payment and commencement date) into initial payment amounts that are measured by the number of Annuity Units of the Investment Division(s) you select credited to your Contract.

The investment factors in your Contract are calculated based upon a variety of factors, including an assumed investment rate of 3%.  State variations may apply.

If the actual net investment rate experienced by an Investment Division exceeds the assumed net investment rate, variable annuity payments will increase over time.  Conversely, if the actual net investment rate is less than the assumed net investment rate, variable annuity payments will decrease over time.  If the actual net investment rate equals the assumed net investment rate, the variable annuity payments will remain constant.

We calculate the dollar amount of subsequent income payments that you receive based upon the performance of the Investment Divisions you select.  If that performance (measured by changes in the value of Annuity Units) exceeds the assumed investment rate, then your income payments will increase; if that performance is less than the assumed investment rate, then your income payments will decrease.  Neither expenses actually incurred (other than taxes on investment return), nor mortality actually experienced, will adversely affect the dollar amount of subsequent income payments.

Income Options.  The Annuitant is the person whose life we look to when we make income payments (each description assumes that you are the Owner and Annuitant).  The following income options may not be available in all states.

Option 1 - Life Income.  This income option provides monthly payments for your life.  No further payments are payable after your death.

Option 2 - Joint and Survivor.  This income option provides monthly payments for your life and for the life of another person (usually your spouse) selected by you.  Upon the death of either person, the monthly payments will continue during the lifetime of the survivor.  No further payments are payable after the death of the survivor.

Option 3 - Life Annuity With at Least 120 or 240 Monthly Payments.  This income option provides monthly payments for the Annuitant's life, but with payments continuing to the Beneficiary for the remainder of 10 or 20 years (as you select) if the Annuitant dies before the end of the selected period.  If the Beneficiary does not want to receive the remaining scheduled payments, a single lump sum may be requested, which will be equal to the present value of the remaining payments (as of the date of calculation) discounted at an interest rate that will be no more than 1% higher than the rate used to calculate the initial payment.

Option 4 - Income for a Specified Period.  This income option provides monthly payments for any number of years from 5 to 30.  If the Beneficiary does not want to receive the remaining scheduled payments, a single lump sum may be requested, which will be equal to the present value of the remaining payments (as of the date of calculation) discounted at an interest rate that will be no more than 1% higher than the rate used to calculate the initial payment.

Additional Options - We may make other income options available.

No withdrawals are permitted during the income phase under an income option that is life contingent.

DEATH BENEFIT

The Contract has a death benefit, namely the basic death benefit, which is payable during the accumulation phase.  Instead you may choose an optional death benefit for an additional charge, availability of which may vary by state.  For more information about the availability of an optional death benefit in your state, please see the application, check with the registered representative helping you to purchase the Contract or contact us at our Annuity Service Center.  Our contact information is on the first page of this prospectus.  The optional death benefits are only available upon application, and once chosen, cannot be canceled.  The effects of any GMWB on the amount payable to your Beneficiaries upon your death should be considered in selecting the death benefits in combination with a GMWB.  Except as provided in certain of the GMWB endorsements, no death benefit will be paid upon your death in the event the Contract Value falls to zero.

The death benefit paid to your Beneficiary upon your death is calculated as of the date we receive all required documentation in Good Order which includes, but is not limited to, due proof of death and a completed claim form from the Beneficiary of record (if there are multiple Beneficiaries, we will calculate the death benefit when we receive this documentation from the first Beneficiary).  Payment will include interest to the extent required by law.  The death benefit paid will be the basic death benefit unless you have selected one of the other death benefit endorsements.  If you have a guaranteed minimum death benefit, the amount by which the guaranteed minimum death benefit exceeds the account value will be put into your account as of the date we receive all required documentation from the Beneficiary of record and will be allocated among the Investment Divisions and Fixed Account according to the current allocation instructions on file for your account as of that date.  Each Beneficiary will receive their portion of the remaining value, subject to market fluctuations, when their option election form is received at our Home Office in Lansing, Michigan.

Basic Death Benefit.  If you die before moving to the income phase, the person you have chosen as your Beneficiary will receive a death benefit.  If you have a joint Owner, the death benefit will be paid when the first joint Owner dies.  The surviving joint Owner will be treated as the Beneficiary.  Any other Beneficiary designated will be treated as a contingent Beneficiary.  Only a spousal Beneficiary has the right to continue the Contract in force upon your death.

The death benefit equals the Contract Value on the date we receive all required documentation from your Beneficiary.

Optional Death Benefits.  Optional death benefits are available that are designed to protect your Contract Value from potentially poor investment performance and the impact that poor investment performance could have on the amount of the basic death benefit.  Because there is an additional annual charge for each of these optional death benefits, and because you cannot change your selection, please be sure that you have read about and understand the Contract's basic death benefit before selecting an optional death benefit.  Optional death benefits are available if you are 79 years of age or younger on the Contract's Issue Date.  However, the older you are when your Contract is issued, the less advantageous it would be for you to select an optional death benefit.  These optional death benefits are subject to our administrative rules to assure appropriate use, which administrative rules may be changed, as necessary.

Depending on when and in what state you apply for the Contract: the availability of an optional death benefit may be different and how an optional death benefit is calculated varies – all as noted below.

For purposes of these optional death benefits, “Net Premiums” are defined as your premium payments net of premium taxes, reduced by any withdrawals (including applicable charges and deductions) at the time of the withdrawal in the same proportion that the Contract Value was reduced on the date of the withdrawal.  Accordingly, if a withdrawal were to reduce the Contract Value by 50%, for example, Net Premiums would also be reduced by 50%.  Similarly, with the “Highest Anniversary Value” component, the adjustment to your Contract Value for any withdrawals (including applicable charges and deductions) will have occurred proportionally at the time of the withdrawals.

Following are the calculations for the optional death benefits:

Return of Premium Death Benefit, changes your basic death benefit to the greatest of:

(a)
your Contract Value on the date we receive all required documentation from your Beneficiary; or
 
(b)
total Net Premiums since your Contract was issued.  All withdrawals will reduce this portion of the calculation in the same proportion that the Contract Value was reduced on the date of the withdrawal.

Highest Anniversary Value Death Benefit, changes your basic death benefit to the greatest of:

(a)
your Contract Value as of the end of the business day on which we receive all required documentation from your Beneficiary; or
 
(b)
total Net Premiums since your Contract was issued; or
 
(c)
your greatest Contract Value on any Contract Anniversary prior to your 81st birthday, minus any withdrawals (including any applicable withdrawal charges and adjustments), plus any premiums paid (net of any applicable premium taxes) subsequent to that Contract Anniversary.

Payout Options.  The basic death benefit and the optional death benefits can be paid under one of the following payout options:

single lump sum payment; or
 
payment of entire death benefit within 5 years of the date of death; or
 
payment of the entire death benefit under an income option over the Beneficiary's lifetime or for a period not extending beyond the Beneficiary's life expectancy; or payment of a portion of the death benefit under an income option over the Beneficiary's lifetime or for a period not extending beyond the Beneficiary's life expectancy, with the balance of the death benefit payable to the Beneficiary.  Any portion of the death benefit not applied under an income option within one year of the Owner's death, however, must be paid within five years of the date of the Owner's death.

Under these payout options, the Beneficiary may also elect to receive additional lump sums at any time.  The receipt of any additional lump sums will reduce the future income payments to the Beneficiary.

Unless the Beneficiary chooses to receive the entire death benefit in a single sum, the Beneficiary must elect a payout option within the 60-day period beginning with the date we receive proof of death and payments must begin within one year of the date of death.  If the Beneficiary chooses to receive some or all of the death benefit in a single sum and all the necessary requirements are met, we will pay the death benefit within seven days.  If your Beneficiary is your spouse, he/she may elect to continue the Contract, at the current Contract Value, in his/her own name.  For more information, please see “Special Spousal Continuation Option” beginning on page 44.

Pre-Selected Payout Options.  As Owner, you may also make a predetermined selection of the death benefit payout option if your death occurs before the Income Date.  However, at the time of your death, we may modify the death benefit option if the death benefit you selected exceeds the life expectancy of the Beneficiary.  If this Pre-selected Death Benefit Option Election is in force at the time of your death, the payment of the death benefit may not be postponed, nor can the Contract be continued under any other provisions of this Contract.  This restriction applies even if the Beneficiary is your spouse, unless such restriction is prohibited by the Internal Revenue Code.  If the Beneficiary does not submit the required documentation for the death benefit to us within one year of your death, however, the death benefit must be paid, in a single lump sum, within five years of your death.  The Pre-selected Death Benefit Option may not be available in your state.

Special Spousal Continuation Option. If your spouse is the Beneficiary and elects to continue the Contract in his or her own name after your death, pursuant to the Special Spousal Continuation Option, no death benefit will be paid at that time.  Moreover, we will contribute to the Contract a Continuation Adjustment, which is the amount by which the death benefit that would have been payable exceeds the Contract Value.  We calculate this amount using the Contract Value and death benefit as of the date we receive completed forms and due proof of death from the Beneficiary of record and the spousal Beneficiary's written request to continue the Contract (the “Continuation Date”).  We will add this amount to the Contract based on the current allocation instructions at the time of your death, subject to any minimum allocation restrictions, unless we receive other allocation instructions from your spouse.  The Special Spousal Continuation Option may not be available in your state.  See your financial advisor for information regarding the availability of the Special Spousal Continuation Option.

If your spouse continues the Contract in his/her own name under the Special Spousal Continuation Option, the new Contract Value will be considered the initial premium for purposes of determining any future death benefit under the Contract.  The age of the surviving spouse at the time of the continuation of the Contract will be used to determine all benefits under the Contract prospectively, so the death benefit may be at a different level.

If your spouse elects to continue the Contract, your spouse, as new Owner, cannot terminate most of the optional benefits you elected.  However, a GMWB will terminate upon your death (and no further GMWB charges will be deducted), unless your spouse is eligible for the benefit and elects to continue it with the Contract.  The Contract, and its optional benefits, remains the same, except as described above.  There is no charge for the Spousal Continuation Option; however, your spouse will also be subject to the same fees, charges and expenses under the Contract as you were.

The Special Spousal Continuation Option is available to elect one time on the Contract.  However, if you have elected the Pre-Selected Death Benefit Option the Contract cannot be continued under the Special Spousal Continuation Option, unless preventing continuation would be prohibited by the Internal Revenue Code.  The Pre-Selected Death Benefit Option may not be available in your state.

Death of Owner On or After the Income Date.  If you or a joint Owner dies, and is not the Annuitant, on or after the Income Date, any remaining payments under the income option elected will continue at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution in effect at the date of death.  If you die, the Beneficiary becomes the Owner.  If the joint Owner dies, the surviving joint Owner, if any, will be the designated Beneficiary.  Any other Beneficiary designation on record at the time of death will be treated as a contingent Beneficiary.  A contingent Beneficiary is entitled to receive payment only after the Beneficiary dies.

Death of Annuitant. If the Annuitant is not an Owner or joint Owner and dies before the Income Date, you can name a new Annuitant, subject to our underwriting rules.  If you do not name a new Annuitant within 30 days of the death of the Annuitant, you will become the Annuitant.  However, if the Owner is a non-natural person (for example, a corporation), then the death of the Annuitant will be treated as the death of the Owner, and a new Annuitant may not be named.

If the Annuitant dies on or after the Income Date, any remaining guaranteed payment will be paid to the Beneficiary as provided for in the income option selected.  Any remaining guaranteed payment will be paid at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution in effect at the Annuitant's death.

TAXES

The following is only general information and is not intended as tax advice to any individual.  Additional tax information is included in the SAI.  You should consult your own tax adviser as to how these general rules will apply to you if you purchase a Contract.

CONTRACT OWNER TAXATION

Tax-Qualified and Non-Qualified Contracts. If you purchase your Contract as a part of a tax-qualified plan such as an Individual Retirement Annuity (IRA), Tax-Sheltered Annuity (sometimes referred to as a 403(b) Contract), or pension or profit-sharing plan (including a 401(k) Plan or H.R. 10 Plan) your Contract will be what is referred to as a tax-qualified contract.  Tax deferral under a tax-qualified contract arises under the specific provisions of the Internal Revenue Code (Code) governing the tax-qualified plan, so a tax-qualified contract should be purchased only for the features and benefits other than tax deferral that are available under a tax-qualified contract, and not for the purpose of obtaining tax deferral.  You should consult your own adviser regarding these features and benefits of the Contract prior to purchasing a tax-qualified contract.

If you do not purchase your Contract as a part of any tax-qualified pension plan, specially sponsored program or an individual retirement annuity, your Contract will be what is referred to as a non-qualified contract.

The amount of your tax liability on the earnings under and the amounts received from either a tax-qualified or a non-qualified Contract will vary depending on the specific tax rules applicable to your Contract and your particular circumstances.

Non-Qualified Contracts – General Taxation. Increases in the value of a non-qualified Contract attributable to undistributed earnings are generally not taxable to the Contract Owner or the Annuitant until a distribution (either a withdrawal, including withdrawals under any GMWB you may elect, or an income payment) is made from the Contract.  This tax deferral is generally not available under a non-qualified Contract owned by a non-natural person (e.g., a corporation or certain other entities other than a trust holding the Contract as an agent for a natural person).  Loans based on a non-qualified Contract are treated as distributions.

Non-Qualified Contracts – Aggregation of Contracts. For purposes of determining the taxability of a distribution, the Code provides that all non-qualified contracts issued by us (or an affiliate) to you during any calendar year must be treated as one annuity contract.  Additional rules may be promulgated under this Code provision to prevent avoidance of its effect through the ownership of serial contracts or otherwise.

Non-Qualified Contracts – Withdrawals and Income Payments.  Any withdrawal from a non-qualified Contract, including withdrawals under any GMWB you may elect, is taxable as ordinary income to the extent it does not exceed the accumulated earnings under the Contract.  In contrast, a part of each income payment under a non-qualified Contract is generally treated as a non-taxable return of premium.  The balance of each income payment is taxable as ordinary income.  The amounts of the taxable and non-taxable portions of each income payment are determined based on the amount of the investment in the Contract and the length of the period over which income payments are to be made.  Income payments received after all of your investment in the Contract is recovered are fully taxable as ordinary income.  Additional information is provided in the SAI.

The Code also imposes a 10% penalty on certain taxable amounts received under a non-qualified Contract.  This penalty tax will not apply to any amounts:

paid on or after the date you reach age 59 1/2;
 
paid to your Beneficiary after you die;
 
paid if you become totally disabled (as that term is defined in the Code);
 
paid in a series of substantially equal periodic payments made annually (or more frequently) for your life (or life expectancy) or for a period not exceeding the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of you and your Beneficiary;
 
paid under an immediate annuity; or
 
which come from premiums made prior to August 14, 1982.

Beginning in 2013, the taxable portion of distributions from a non-qualified annuity Contract will be considered investment income for purposes of the new Medicare tax on investment income.  As a result, a 3.8% tax will generally apply to some or all of the taxable portion of distributions to individuals whose modified adjusted gross income exceeds certain threshold amounts.  For 2013, these levels are $200,000 in the case of single taxpayers, $250,000 in the case of married taxpayers filing joint returns, and $125,000 in the case of married taxpayers filing separately.  Owners should consult their own tax advisers for more information.

Non-Qualified Contracts Required Distributions. In order to be treated as an annuity contract for federal income tax purposes, the Code requires any non-qualified Contract issued after January 18, 1985 to provide that (a) if an owner dies on or after the annuity starting date but prior to the time the entire interest in the contract has been distributed, the remaining portion of such interest will be distributed at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution being used as of the date of that owner's death; and (b) if an owner dies prior to the annuity starting date, the entire interest in the contract must be distributed within five years after the date of the owner's death.

The requirements of (b) above can be considered satisfied if any portion of the Owner's interest which is payable to or for the benefit of a “designated Beneficiary” is distributed over the life of such Beneficiary or over a period not extending beyond the life expectancy of that Beneficiary and such distributions begin within one year of that Owner's death.  The Owner's “designated Beneficiary,” who must be a natural person, is the person designated by such Owner as a Beneficiary and to whom ownership of the Contract passes by reason of death.  However, if the Owner's “designated Beneficiary” is the surviving spouse of the Owner, the contract may be continued with the surviving spouse as the new Owner.

Tax-Qualified Contracts – Withdrawals and Income Payments.  The Code imposes limits on loans, withdrawals, and income payments under tax-qualified Contracts.  The Code also imposes required minimum distributions for tax-qualified Contracts and a 10% penalty on certain taxable amounts received prematurely under a tax-qualified Contract.  These limits, required minimum distributions, tax penalties and the tax computation rules are summarized in the SAI.  Any withdrawals under a tax-qualified Contract, including withdrawals under any GMWB you may elect, will be taxable except to the extent they are allocable to an investment in the Contract (any after-tax contributions).  In most cases, there will be little or no investment in the Contract for a tax-qualified Contract because contributions will have been made on a pre-tax or tax-deductible basis.

Withdrawals – Tax-Sheltered Annuities. The Code limits the withdrawal of amounts attributable to purchase payments made under a salary reduction agreement from Tax-Sheltered Annuities.  Withdrawals can only be made when an Owner:

reaches age 59 1/2;
 
leaves his/her job;
 
dies;
 
becomes disabled (as that term is defined in the Code); or
 
experiences hardship.  However, in the case of hardship, the Owner can only withdraw the premium and not any earnings.

Withdrawals – Roth IRAs.  Subject to certain limitations, individuals may also purchase a type of non-deductible IRA annuity known as a Roth IRA annuity.  Qualified distributions from Roth IRA annuities are entirely federal income tax free.  A qualified distribution requires that the individual has held the Roth IRA annuity for at least five years and, in addition, that the distribution is made either after the individual reaches age 59 1/2, on account of the individual's death or disability, or as a qualified first-time home purchase, subject to $10,000 lifetime maximum, for the individual, or for a spouse, child, grandchild or ancestor.

Constructive Withdrawals – Investment Adviser Fees. Withdrawals from non-qualified Contracts for the payment of investment adviser fees will be considered taxable distributions from the Contract.  In a series of Private Letter Rulings, however, the Internal Revenue Service has held that the payment of investment adviser fees from a tax-qualified Contract need not be considered a distribution for income tax purposes.  Under the facts in these Rulings:

there was a written agreement providing for payments of the fees solely from the annuity Contract,
 
the Contract Owner had no liability for the fees, and
 
the fees were paid solely from the annuity Contract to the adviser.

Extension of Latest Income Date.  If you do not annuitize your non-qualified Contract on or before the latest Income Date, it is possible that the IRS could challenge the status of your Contract as an annuity Contract for tax purposes.  The result of such a challenge could be that you would be viewed as either constructively receiving the increase in the Contract Value each year from the inception of the Contract or the entire increase in the Contract Value would be taxable in the year of your Latest Income Date.  In either situation, you could realize taxable income even if the Contract proceeds are not distributed to you at that time.  Accordingly, before purchasing a Contract, you should consult your tax advisor with respect to these issues.

Death Benefits.  None of the death benefits paid under the Contract to the Beneficiary will be tax-exempt life insurance benefits.  The rules governing the taxation of payments from an annuity Contract, as discussed above, generally apply to the payment of death benefits and depend on whether the death benefits are paid as a lump sum or as annuity payments.  Estate or gift taxes may also apply.

Assignment. An assignment of your Contract will generally be a taxable event.  Assignments of a tax-qualified Contract may also be limited by the Code and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.  These limits are summarized in the SAI.  You should consult your tax adviser prior to making any assignment of your Contract.

Diversification. The Code provides that the underlying investments for a non-qualified variable annuity must satisfy certain diversification requirements in order to be treated as an annuity Contract.  We believe that the underlying investments are being managed so as to comply with these requirements.  A fuller discussion of the diversification requirements is contained in the SAI.

Owner Control. In a Revenue Ruling issued in 2003, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) considered certain variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts and held that the types of actual and potential control that the contract owners could exercise over the investment assets held by the insurance company under these variable contracts was not sufficient to cause the contract owners to be treated as the owners of those assets and thus to be subject to current income tax on the income and gains produced by those assets.  Under the Contract, like the contracts described in the Revenue Ruling, there will be no arrangement, plan, contract or agreement between the Contract Owner and Jackson regarding the availability of a particular investment option and other than the Contract Owner's right to allocate premiums and transfer funds among the available sub-accounts, all investment decisions concerning the sub-accounts will be made by the insurance company or an advisor in its sole and absolute discretion.

The Contract will differ from the contracts described in the Revenue Ruling, in two respects.  The first difference is that the contract in the Revenue Ruling provided 12 investment options with the insurance company having the ability to add an additional 8 options whereas a Contract offers 3 Investment Divisions and at least one Fixed Account option.  The second difference is that the owner of a contract in the Revenue Ruling could only make one transfer per 30-day period without a fee whereas during the accumulation phase, a Contract Owner will be permitted to make up to 15 transfers in any one year without a charge.

The Revenue Ruling states that whether the owner of a variable contract is to be treated as the owner of the assets held by the insurance company under the contract will depend on all of the facts and circumstances.  Jackson does not believe that the differences between the Contract and the contracts described in the Revenue Ruling with respect to the number of investment choices and the number of investment transfers that can be made under the contract without an additional charge should prevent the holding in the Revenue Ruling from applying to the Owner of a Contract.  At this time, however, it cannot be determined whether additional guidance will be provided by the IRS on this issue and what standards may be contained in such guidance.  We reserve the right to modify the Contract to the extent required to maintain favorable tax treatment.

Withholding. In general, the income portion of distributions from a Contract are subject to 10% federal income tax withholding and the income portion of income payments are subject to withholding at the same rate as wages unless you elect not to have tax withheld.  Some states have enacted similar rules.  Different rules may apply to payments delivered outside the United States.

Eligible rollover distributions from a Contract issued under certain types of tax-qualified plans will be subject to federal tax withholding at a mandatory 20% rate unless the distribution is made as a direct rollover to a tax-qualified plan or to an individual retirement account or annuity.

The Code generally allows the rollover of most distributions to and from tax-qualified plans, tax-sheltered annuities, Individual Retirement Annuities and eligible deferred compensation plans of state or local governments.  Distributions which may not be rolled over are those which are:

(a)
one of a series of substantially equal annual (or more frequent) payments made (a) over the life or life expectancy of the employee, (b) the joint lives or joint life expectancies of the employee and the employee's Beneficiary, or (c) for a specified period of ten years or more;
 
(b)
a required minimum distribution; or
 
(c)
a hardship withdrawal .
 

JACKSON TAXATION

We will pay company income taxes on the taxable corporate earnings created by this separate account product adjusted for various permissible deductions and certain tax benefits discussed below.  While we may consider company income tax liabilities and tax benefits when pricing our products, we do not currently include our income tax liabilities in the charges you pay under the contract.  We will periodically review the issue of charging for these taxes and may impose a charge in the future.  (We do impose a so-called “Federal (DAC) Tax Charge” under variable life insurance policies, but the “Federal (DAC) Tax Charge” merely compensates us for the required deferral of acquisition cost and does not constitute company income taxes.)  In calculating our corporate income tax liability, we derive certain corporate income tax benefits associated with the investment of company assets, including separate account assets that are treated as company assets under applicable income tax law.  These benefits reduce our overall corporate income tax liability.  Under current law, such benefits may include dividends received deductions and foreign tax credits which can be material.  We do not pass these benefits through to the separate accounts, principally because:  (i) the great bulk of the benefits results from the dividends received deduction, which involves no reduction in the dollar amount of dividends that the separate account receives; (ii) product owners are not the owners of the assets generating the benefits under applicable income tax law; and (iii) while we impose a so-called “Federal (DAC) tax charge” under variable life insurance policies, we do not currently include company income taxes in the charges owners pay under the products.

OTHER INFORMATION

Dollar Cost Averaging. If the amount allocated to the Investment Divisions plus the amount allocated to a Fixed Account option is at least $15,000, you can arrange to have a dollar amount or percentage of money periodically transferred automatically into the Investment Divisions and other Fixed Account options from the one-year Fixed Account or any of the Investment Divisions.  If the Fixed Account options are not available or otherwise restricted, dollar cost averaging will be exclusively from the Investment Divisions.  In the case of transfers from the one-year Fixed Account or Investment Divisions with a stable unit value to the Investment Divisions, this can let you pay a lower average cost per unit over time than you would receive if you made a one-time purchase.  Transfers from the more volatile Investment Divisions may not result in lower average costs and such Investment Divisions may not be an appropriate source of dollar cost averaging transfers in volatile markets.  There is no charge for Dollar Cost Averaging.  Certain restrictions may apply.

Dollar Cost Averaging Plus (DCA+). The DCA+ Fixed Account is a “source account” designed for dollar cost averaging transfers to Investment Divisions or systematic transfers to other Fixed Accounts.  The DCA+ Fixed Account is credited with an enhanced interest rate.  If a DCA+ Fixed Account is selected, monies in the DCA+ Fixed Account will be systematically transferred to the Investment Divisions or other Fixed Accounts chosen over the DCA+ term selected.  There is no charge for DCA+.  The DCA+ Fixed Account is only available for new premiums.  Premiums are accepted during the first six Contract Months only.  You should consult your Jackson representative with respect to the current availability of the Fixed Account options and the availability of DCA+.

Earnings Sweep.  You can choose to move your earnings from the source accounts (only applicable from the one year Fixed Account Option, if currently available).  There is no charge for Earnings Sweep.

Rebalancing. You can arrange to have us automatically reallocate your Contract Value among Investment Divisions and the one-year Fixed Account (if currently available) periodically to maintain your selected allocation percentages.  Rebalancing is consistent with maintaining your allocation of investments among market segments, although it is accomplished by reducing your Contract Value allocated to the better performing Investment Divisions.  There is no charge for Rebalancing.

You may cancel a Dollar Cost Averaging, Earnings Sweep or Rebalancing program using whatever methods you use to change your allocation instructions.

Free Look. You may return your Contract to the selling agent or us within ten days (or longer if required by your state) after receiving it.  We will return

the Contract Value, plus
 
any fees (other than asset-based fees) and expenses deducted from the premiums.

We will determine the Contract Value in the Investment Divisions as of the date we receive the Contract (subject to state variations).  We will return premium payments where required by law.  In some states, we are required to hold the premiums of a senior citizen in the Fixed Account during the free look period, unless we are specifically directed to allocate the premiums to the Investment Divisions.  State laws vary; your free look rights will depend on the laws of the state in which you purchased the Contract.

Advertising.  From time to time, we may advertise several types of performance of the Investment Divisions.

Total return is the overall change in the value of an investment in an Investment Division over a given period of time.
 
Standardized average annual total return is calculated in accordance with SEC guidelines.
 
Non-standardized total return may be for periods other than those required by, or may otherwise differ from, standardized average annual total return.  For example, if a Fund has been in existence longer than the Investment Division, we may show non-standardized performance for periods that begin on the inception date of the Fund, rather than the inception date of the Investment Division.
 
Yield refers to the income generated by an investment over a given period of time.

Performance will be calculated by determining the percentage change in the value of an Accumulation Unit by dividing the increase (decrease) for that unit by the value of the Accumulation Unit at the beginning of the period.  Performance will reflect the deduction of the mortality and expense risk and administration charges and may reflect the deduction of the annual contract maintenance and withdrawal charges, but will not reflect charges for optional features except in performance data used in sales materials that promote those optional features.  The deduction of withdrawal charges and/or the charges for optional features would reduce the percentage increase or make greater any percentage decrease.

Restrictions Under the Texas Optional Retirement Program (ORP).  Contracts issued to participants in ORP contain restrictions required under the Texas Administrative Code.  In accordance with those restrictions, a participant in ORP will not be permitted to make withdrawals prior to such participant's retirement, death, attainment of age 70 1/2 or termination of employment in a Texas public institution of higher education.  The restrictions on withdrawal do not apply in the event a participant in ORP transfers the Contract Value to another approved contract or vendor during the period of ORP participation.  These requirements will apply to any other jurisdiction with comparable requirements.

Modification of Your Contract.  Only our President, Vice President, Secretary or Assistant Secretary may approve a change to or waive a provision of your Contract.  Any change or waiver must be in writing.  We may change the terms of your Contract without your consent in order to comply with changes in applicable law, or otherwise as we deem necessary.

Confirmation of Transactions.  We will send you a written statement confirming that a financial transaction, such as a premium payment, withdrawal, or transfer has been completed.  This confirmation statement will provide details about the transaction.  Certain transactions which are made on a periodic or systematic basis will be confirmed in a quarterly statement only.

It is important that you carefully review the information contained in the statements that confirm your transactions.  If you believe an error has occurred you must notify us in writing within 30 days of receipt of the statement so we can make any appropriate adjustments.  If we do not receive notice of any such potential error, we may not be responsible for correcting the error.

Legal Proceedings.   Jackson and its subsidiaries are defendants in a number of civil proceedings, including class actions, arising in the ordinary course of business. These include civil litigation proceedings, which appear to be substantially similar to other class action litigation brought against many life insurers, including a modal premium case, alleging misconduct in the sale of insurance products. We do not believe at the present time that any pending action or proceeding will have a material adverse effect upon the Separate Account, Jackson’s ability to meet its obligations under the Contracts, or Jackson National Life Distributors LLC’s ability to perform its contract with the Separate Account.

GMWB PROSPECTUS EXAMPLES
 

Unless otherwise specified, the following examples assume you elected a 5% GMWB when you purchased your Contract, no other optional benefits were elected, your initial premium payment was $100,000, your GAWA is greater than your RMD at the time a withdrawal is requested, and all partial withdrawals requested include any applicable charges.  The examples also assume that the GMWB and any For Life guarantee have not been terminated as described in the Access to Your Money section of this prospectus.

Example 1: At election, your GWB and GAWA are determined.

§  
Example 1a: If the GMWB is elected at issue:
¨  
Your initial GWB is $100,000, which is your initial Premium payment.
¨  
Your GAWA is $5,000, which is 5% of your initial GWB ($100,000*0.05 = $5,000).

§  
Example 1b: If the GMWB is elected after issue when the Contract Value is $105,000:
¨  
Your initial GWB is $105,000, which is your Contract Value on the effective date of the endorsement.
¨  
Your GAWA is $5,250, which is 5% of your initial GWB ($105,000*0.05 = $5,250).

Example 2: Upon payment of a subsequent Premium, your GWB and GAWA are re-determined.  Your GWB is subject to a maximum of $5,000,000.

§  
Example 2a: If you make an additional Premium payment of $50,000 and your GWB is $100,000 at the time of payment:
¨  
Your new GWB is $150,000, which is your GWB prior to the additional Premium payment ($100,000) plus your additional Premium payment ($50,000).
¨  
Your GAWA is $7,500, which is your GAWA prior to the additional Premium payment ($5,000) plus 5% of your additional Premium payment ($50,000*0.05 = $2,500).

§  
Example 2b: If you make an additional Premium payment of $100,000 and your GWB is $4,950,000 and your GAWA is $247,500 at the time of payment:
¨  
Your new GWB is $5,000,000, which is the maximum, since your GWB prior to the additional Premium payment ($4,950,000) plus your additional Premium payment ($100,000) exceeds the maximum of $5,000,000.
¨  
Your GAWA is $250,000, which is your GAWA prior to the additional Premium payment ($247,500) plus 5% of the allowable $50,000 increase in your GWB (($5,000,000 - $4,950,000)*0.05 = $2,500).

Example 3: Upon withdrawal of the guaranteed amount (which is your GAWA for endorsements for non-qualified contracts or which is the greater of your GAWA or your RMD for those GMWBs related to qualified contracts), your GWB and GAWA are re-determined.

§  
Example 3a: If you withdraw an amount equal to your GAWA ($5,000) when your GWB is $100,000:
¨  
Your new GWB is $95,000, which is your GWB prior to the withdrawal ($100,000) less the amount of the withdrawal ($5,000).
¨  
Your GAWA for the next year remains $5,000, since you did not withdraw an amount that exceeds your GAWA.
¨  
If you continued to take annual withdrawals equal to your GAWA, it would take an additional 19 years to deplete your GWB ($95,000 / $5,000 per year = 19 years), provided that there are no further adjustments made to your GWB or your GAWA (besides the annual reduction of your GWB by the amount of the withdrawal).  However, if you have elected a For Life GMWB and the For Life Guarantee is in effect, withdrawals equal to your GAWA could continue for the rest of your life (or in the case of Joint Owners, until the first death of the Joint Owners or until the death of the last surviving Covered Life if your endorsement is a For Life GMWB with Joint Option), even beyond 19 years, prior to the Latest Income Date.

§  
Example 3b: If you withdraw an amount equal to your RMD ($7,500), which is greater than your GAWA ($5,000) when your GWB is $100,000 and your RMD provision is in effect for your endorsement:
¨  
Your new GWB is $92,500, which is your GWB prior to the withdrawal ($100,000) less the amount of the withdrawal ($7,500).
¨  
Your GAWA for the next year remains $5,000, since your withdrawal did not exceed the greater of your GAWA ($5,000) or your RMD ($7,500).
¨  
If you continued to take annual withdrawals equal to your GAWA, it would take an additional 19 years to deplete your GWB ($92,500 / $5,000 per year = 19 years), provided that there are no further adjustments made to your GWB or your GAWA (besides the annual reduction of your GWB by the amount of the withdrawal) and the amount of the final withdrawal would be less than your GAWA (and equal to your remaining GWB) if your endorsement is not a For Life GMWB or if your endorsement is a For Life GMWB and the For Life Guarantee is not in effect.  However, if you have elected a For Life GMWB and the For Life Guarantee is in effect, withdrawals equal to your GAWA could continue for the rest of your life (or until the death of the last surviving Covered Life if your endorsement is a For Life GMWB with Joint Option), even beyond 19 years, prior to the Latest Income Date.

§  
Notes:
¨  
If your endorsement does not include a For Life Guarantee or if the For Life Guarantee is not in effect, your GAWA would not be permitted to exceed your new GWB.
¨  
Withdrawals taken in connection with a GMWB are considered the same as any other withdrawal for the purpose of determining all other values under the Contract.  In the case where your minimum death benefit is reduced proportionately for withdrawals, your death benefit may be reduced by more than the amount of the withdrawal.

Example 4: Upon withdrawal of an amount that exceeds your guaranteed amount (as defined in Example 3), your GWB and GAWA are re-determined.  (This example does not apply if you purchase AutoGuard 5 and the effective date of the endorsement is on or after December 3, 2007.)

§  
Example 4a: If you withdraw an amount ($10,000) that exceeds your GAWA ($5,000) when your Contract Value is $120,000 and your GWB is $100,000:
¨  
Your new GWB is $90,000, which is the lesser of 1) your GWB prior to the withdrawal less the amount of the withdrawal ($100,000 - $10,000 = $90,000) or 2) your Contract Value prior to the withdrawal less the amount of the withdrawal ($120,000 - $10,000 = $110,000).
¨  
Your GAWA is recalculated based on the type of endorsement you have elected.
-  
If your endorsement is not a For Life GMWB, your GAWA for the next year remains $5,000, since it is recalculated to equal the lesser of 1) your GAWA prior to the withdrawal ($5,000) or 2) 5% of your Contract Value after the withdrawal ($110,000*0.05 = $5,500).  If you continued to take annual withdrawals equal to your GAWA, it would take an additional 18 years to deplete your GWB ($90,000 / $5,000 per year = 18 years), provided that there are no further adjustments made to your GWB or your GAWA (besides the annual reduction of your GWB by the amount of the withdrawal).
-  
If your endorsement is a For Life GMWB, your GAWA is recalculated to equal $4,500, which is 5% of your new GWB ($90,000*0.05 = $4,500), and if the For Life Guarantee was effective prior to the withdrawal, it remains in effect.  If you continued to take annual withdrawals equal to your GAWA, it would take an additional 20 years, prior to the Latest Income Date, to deplete your GWB ($90,000 / $4,500 per year = 20 years), provided that there are no further adjustments made to your GWB or your GAWA (besides the annual reduction of your GWB by the amount of the withdrawal).  However, if your For Life Guarantee is in effect, withdrawals equal to your GAWA could continue for the rest of your life (or in the case of Joint Owners, until the first death of the Joint Owners or until the death of the last surviving Covered Life if your endorsement is a For Life GMWB with Joint Option), even beyond 20 years, prior to the Latest Income Date.

§  
Example 4b: If you withdraw an amount ($10,000) that exceeds your GAWA ($5,000) when your Contract Value is $105,000 and your GWB is $100,000:
¨  
Your new GWB is $90,000, which is the lesser of 1) your GWB prior to the withdrawal less the amount of the withdrawal ($100,000 - $10,000 = $90,000) or 2) your Contract Value prior to the withdrawal less the amount of the withdrawal ($105,000 - $10,000 = $95,000).

¨  
Your GAWA is recalculated based on the type of endorsement you have elected.
-  
If your endorsement is not a For Life GMWB, your GAWA for the next year is recalculated to equal $4,750, which is the lesser of 1) your GAWA prior to the withdrawal ($5,000) or 2) 5% of your Contract Value after the withdrawal ($95,000*0.05 = $4,750).  If you continued to take annual withdrawals equal to your GAWA, it would take an additional 19 years to deplete your GWB ($90,000 / $4,750 per year = 19 years), provided that there are no further adjustments made to your GWB or your GAWA (besides the annual reduction of your GWB by the amount of the withdrawal) and the amount of your final withdrawal would be less than your GAWA (and equal to your remaining GWB).
-  
If your endorsement is a For Life GMWB, your GAWA is recalculated to equal $4,500, which is 5% of your new GWB ($90,000*0.05 = $4,500), and if the For Life Guarantee was effective prior to the withdrawal, it remains in effect.  If you continued to take annual withdrawals equal to your GAWA, it would take an additional 20 years, prior to the Latest Income Date, to deplete your GWB ($90,000 / $4,500 per year = 20 years), provided that there are no further adjustments made to your GWB or your GAWA (besides the annual reduction of your GWB by the amount of the withdrawal).  However, if your For Life Guarantee is in effect, withdrawals equal to your GAWA could continue for the rest of your life (or in the case of Joint Owners, until the first death of the Joint Owners or until the death of the last surviving Covered Life if your endorsement is a For Life GMWB with Joint Option), even beyond 20 years, prior to the Latest Income Date.

§  
Example 4c: If you withdraw an amount ($10,000) that exceeds your GAWA ($5,000) when your Contract Value is $90,000 and your GWB is $100,000:
¨  
Your new GWB is $80,000, which is the lesser of 1) your GWB prior to the withdrawal less the amount of the withdrawal ($100,000 - $10,000 = $90,000) or 2) your Contract Value prior to the withdrawal less the amount of the withdrawal ($90,000 - $10,000 = $80,000).
¨  
Your GAWA is recalculated based on the type of endorsement you have elected.
-  
If your endorsement is not a For Life GMWB, your GAWA for the next year is recalculated to equal $4,000, which is the lesser of 1) your GAWA prior to the withdrawal ($5,000) or 2) 5% of your Contract Value after the withdrawal ($80,000*0.05 = $4,000).  If you continued to take annual withdrawals equal to your GAWA, it would take an additional 20 years to deplete your GWB ($80,000 / $4,000 per year = 20 years), provided that there are no further adjustments made to your GWB or your GAWA (besides the annual reduction of your GWB by the amount of the withdrawal).
-  
If your endorsement is a For Life GMWB, your GAWA is recalculated to equal $4,000, which is 5% of your new GWB ($80,000*0.05 = $4,000), and if the For Life Guarantee was effective prior to the withdrawal, it remains in effect.  If you continued to take annual withdrawals equal to your GAWA, it would take an additional 20 years, prior to the Latest Income Date, to deplete your GWB ($80,000 / $4,000 per year = 20 years), provided that there are no further adjustments made to your GWB or your GAWA (besides the annual reduction of your GWB by the amount of the withdrawal).  However, if your For Life Guarantee is in effect, withdrawals equal to your GAWA could continue for the rest of your life (or in the case of Joint Owners, until the first death of the Joint Owners or until the death of the last surviving Covered Life if your endorsement is a For Life GMWB with Joint Option), even beyond 20 years, prior to the Latest Income Date.
§  
Notes:
¨  
If your endorsement does not include a For Life Guarantee or if the For Life Guarantee is not in effect, your GAWA would not be permitted to exceed your remaining GWB.
¨  
Withdrawals taken in connection with a GMWB are considered the same as any other withdrawal for the purpose of determining all other values under the Contract.  In the case where your minimum death benefit is reduced proportionately for withdrawals, your death benefit may be reduced by more than the amount of the withdrawal.

Example 5: Upon withdrawal of an amount that exceeds your guaranteed amount (as defined in Example 3), your GWB and GAWA are re-determined.  (This example only applies if you purchase AutoGuard 5 and the effective date of the endorsement is on or after December 3, 2007.)

§  
Example 5a: If you withdraw an amount ($10,000) that exceeds your GAWA ($5,000) when your Contract Value is $130,000 and your GWB is $100,000:

¨  
Your new GWB is $91,200, which is your GWB reduced dollar for dollar for your GAWA, then reduced in the same proportion that the Contract Value is reduced for the portion of the withdrawal that is in excess of the GAWA [($100,000 - $5,000)*(1 - ($10,000 - $5,000) / ($130,000 - $5,000)) = $91,200].
¨  
Your GAWA is recalculated to equal $4,800, which is your current GAWA reduced in the same proportion that the Contract Value is reduced for the portion of the withdrawal that is in excess of the GAWA [$5,000 * (1 - ($10,000 - $5,000) / ($130,000 - $5,000)) = $4,800].  If you continued to take annual withdrawals equal to your GAWA, it would take an additional 19 years to deplete your GWB ($91,200 / $4,800 per year = 19 years), provided that there are no further adjustments made to your GWB or your GAWA (besides the annual reduction of your GWB by the amount of the withdrawal) and that the withdrawals are taken prior to the Latest Income Date.  However, if your For Life Guarantee is in effect, withdrawals equal to your GAWA could continue for the rest of your life (or in the case of Joint Owners, until the first death of the Joint Owners or until the death of the last surviving Covered Life if your endorsement is a For Life GMWB with Joint Option), even beyond 19 years, provided that the withdrawals are taken prior to the Latest Income Date.

§  
Example 5b: If you withdraw an amount ($10,000) that exceeds your GAWA ($5,000) when your Contract Value is $105,000 and your GWB is $100,000:
¨  
Your GWB is $90,250, which is your GWB reduced dollar for dollar for your GAWA, then reduced in the same proportion that the Contract Value is reduced for the portion of the withdrawal that is in excess of the GAWA [($100,000 - $5,000)*(1 - ($10,000 - $5,000) / ($105,000 - $5,000)) = $90,250].
¨  
Your GAWA is $4,750, which is your current GAWA reduced in the same proportion that the Contract Value is reduced for the portion of the withdrawal that is in excess of the GAWA [$5,000 * (1 - ($10,000 - $5,000)/($105,000 - $5,000)) = $4,750].  If you continued to take annual withdrawals equal to your GAWA, it would take an additional 19 years to deplete your GWB ($90,250 / $4,750 per year = 19 years), provided that there are no further adjustments made to your GWB or your GAWA (besides the annual reduction of your GWB by the amount of the withdrawal) and that the withdrawals are taken prior to the Latest Income Date.

§  
Example 5c: If you withdraw an amount ($10,000) that exceeds your GAWA ($5,000) when your Contract Value is $55,000 and your GWB is $100,000:
¨  
Your GWB is $85,500, which is your GWB reduced dollar for dollar for your GAWA, then reduced in the same proportion that the Contract Value is reduced for the portion of the withdrawal that is in excess of the GAWA [($100,000 - $5,000) * (1 - ($10,000 - $5,000) / ($55,000 - $5,000)) = $85,500].
¨  
Your GAWA is $4,500, which is your current GAWA reduced in the same proportion that the Contract Value is reduced for the portion of the withdrawal that is in excess of the GAWA [$5,000*(1-($10,000-$5,000)/($55,000 - $5,000))=$4,500].  If you continued to take annual withdrawals equal to your GAWA, it would take an additional 19 years to deplete your GWB ($85,500 / $4,500 per year = 19 years), provided that there are no further adjustments made to your GWB or your GAWA (besides the annual reduction of your GWB by the amount of the withdrawal) and that the withdrawals are taken prior to the Latest Income Date.

§  
Notes:
¨  
Your GAWA would not be permitted to exceed your remaining GWB.
¨  
Withdrawals taken in connection with a GMWB are considered the same as any other withdrawal for the purpose of determining all other values under the Contract.  In the case where your minimum death benefit is reduced proportionately for withdrawals, your death benefit may be reduced by more than the amount of the withdrawal.

Example 6: Upon step-up, your GWB and GAWA are re-determined.

§  
Example 6a: If at the time of step-up your Contract Value is $200,000, your GWB is $100,000 and your GAWA is $5,000:
¨  
Your new GWB is recalculated to equal $200,000, which is equal to your Contract Value.
¨  
Your GAWA for the next year is recalculated to equal $10,000, which is the greater of 1) your GAWA prior to the step-up ($5,000) or 2) 5% of your new GWB ($200,000*0.05 = $10,000).
¨  
After step-up, if you continued to take annual withdrawals equal to your GAWA, it would take an additional 20 years to deplete your GWB ($200,000 / $10,000 per year = 20 years), provided that there are no further adjustments made to your GWB or your GAWA (besides the annual reduction of your GWB by the amount of the withdrawal).  However, if you have elected a For Life GMWB and the For Life Guarantee is in effect, withdrawals equal to your GAWA could continue for the rest of your life (or in the case of Joint Owners, until the first death of the Joint Owners or until the death of the last surviving Covered Life if your endorsement is a For Life GMWB with Joint Option), even beyond 20 years, prior to the Latest Income Date.

§  
Example 6b: If at the time of step-up your Contract Value is $90,000, your GWB is $80,000 and your GAWA is $5,000:
¨  
Your new GWB is recalculated to equal $90,000, which is equal to your Contract Value.
¨  
Your GAWA for the next year remains $5,000, which is the greater of 1) your GAWA prior to the step-up ($5,000) or 2) 5% of your new GWB ($90,000*0.05 = $4,500).
¨  
After step-up, if you continued to take annual withdrawals equal to your GAWA, it would take an additional 18 years to deplete your GWB ($90,000 / $5,000 per year = 18 years), provided that there are no further adjustments made to your GWB or your GAWA (besides the annual reduction of your GWB by the amount of the withdrawal).  However, if you have elected a For Life GMWB and the For Life Guarantee is in effect, withdrawals equal to your GAWA could continue for the rest of your life (or in the case of Joint Owners, until the first death of the Joint Owners or until the death of the last surviving Covered Life if your endorsement is a For Life GMWB with Joint Option), even beyond 18 years, prior to the Latest Income Date.

§  
Notes:
¨  
The election of an Owner-initiated step-up may result in an increase in the GMWB charge.  If the charge does increase, a separate calculation would be recommended to establish if the step-up is a beneficial election.
¨  
Your GWB will only automatically step up to the Contract Value if the Contract Value is greater than your GWB at the time of the automatic step-up.

Example 7: Impact of the order of transactions.

§  
If prior to any transactions your Contract Value is $200,000, your GWB is $100,000 and you wish to step up your GWB (or your GWB is due to step up automatically) and you also wish to take a withdrawal of an amount equal to your GAWA ($5,000):
¨  
If you request the withdrawal after the step-up, upon step-up, your GWB is set equal to $200,000, which is your Contract Value.  At that time, your GAWA is recalculated and is equal to $10,000, which is the greater of 1) your GAWA prior to the step-up ($5,000) or 2) 5% of your new GWB ($200,000*0.05 = $10,000).  Following the step-up and after the withdrawal of $5,000, your new GWB is $195,000, which is your GWB less the amount of the withdrawal ($200,000 - $5,000 = $195,000) and your GAWA will remain at $10,000 since the amount of the withdrawal does not exceed your GAWA.  If you continued to take annual withdrawals equal to your GAWA, it would take an additional 20 years to deplete your GWB ($195,000 / $10,000 per year = 20 years), provided that there are no further adjustments made to your GWB or your GAWA (besides the annual reduction of your GWB by the amount of the withdrawal) and the amount of the final withdrawal would be less than your GAWA (and equal to your remaining GWB).  However, if you have elected a For Life GMWB and the For Life Guarantee is in effect, withdrawals equal to your GAWA could continue for the rest of your life (or in the case of Joint Owners, until the first death of the Joint Owners or until the death of the last surviving Covered Life if your endorsement is a For Life GMWB with Joint Option), even beyond 20 years, prior to the Latest Income Date.
¨  
If you requested the withdrawal prior to the step-up, immediately following the withdrawal transaction, your new GWB is $95,000, which is your GWB less the amount of the withdrawal ($100,000 - $5,000 = $95,000) and your Contract Value becomes $195,000, which is your Contract Value prior to the withdrawal less the amount of the withdrawal ($200,000 - $5,000 = $195,000).  Upon step-up following the withdrawal, your GWB is set equal to $195,000, which is your Contract Value.  At that time, your GAWA is recalculated and is equal to $9,750, which is the greater of 1) your GAWA prior to the step-up ($5,000) or 2) 5% of your new GWB ($195,000*0.05 = $9,750).  If you continued to take annual withdrawals equal to your GAWA, it would take an additional 20 years to deplete your GWB ($195,000 / $9,750 per year = 20 years), provided that there are no further adjustments made to your GWB or your GAWA (besides the annual reduction of your GWB by the amount of the withdrawal).  However, if you have elected a For Life GMWB and the For Life Guarantee is in effect, withdrawals equal to your GAWA could continue for the rest of your life (or in the case of Joint Owners, until the first death of the Joint Owners or until the death of the last surviving Covered Life if your endorsement is a For Life GMWB with Joint Option), even beyond 20 years, prior to the Latest Income Date.

§  
Notes:
¨  
As the example illustrates, when considering a request for a withdrawal at or near the same time as the election or automatic application of a step-up, the order of the transactions may impact your GAWA.  If the step-up would result in an increase in your GAWA and the requested withdrawal is less than or equal to your new GAWA, your GAWA resulting after the two transactions would be greater if the withdrawal is requested after the step-up is applied.  If the step-up does not increase your GAWA or the withdrawal requested is greater than your new GAWA, your GAWA resulting from the transactions is the same regardless of the order of the transactions.
¨  
This example would also apply in situations when the withdrawal exceeded your GAWA but not your permissible RMD.
¨  
The election of an Owner-initiated step-up may result in an increase in the GMWB charge.
¨  
Your GWB will only automatically step up to the Contract Value if the Contract Value is greater than your GWB at the time of the automatic step-up.
¨  
If your endorsement does not include a For Life Guarantee or if the For Life Guarantee is not in effect, your GAWA would not be permitted to exceed your remaining GWB.
¨  
Withdrawals taken in connection with a GMWB are considered the same as any other withdrawal for the purpose of determining all other values under the Contract.  In the case where your minimum death benefit is reduced proportionately for withdrawals, your death benefit may be reduced by more than the amount of the withdrawal.

Example 8: For Life Guarantee becomes effective after the effective date of the endorsement.  At the time the For Life Guarantee becomes effective, your GAWA is re-determined.  (This example only applies if your endorsement is a For Life GMWB.)

§  
Example 8a: If on the Contract Anniversary on or immediately following your 65th birthday your Contract Value is $30,000, your GWB is $50,000, and your GAWA is $5,000:
¨  
Your GAWA for the next year is recalculated to equal $2,500, which is equal to 5% of the current GWB ($50,000*0.05 = $2,500).
¨  
The For Life Guarantee becomes effective, thus allowing you to make annual withdrawals equal to your GAWA for the rest of your life (or in the case of Joint Owners, until the first death of the Joint Owners or until the death of the last surviving Covered Life if your endorsement is a For Life GMWB with Joint Option).  Once the For Life Guarantee becomes effective, it remains in effect until the endorsement is terminated, as described in the Access to Your Money section of this prospectus, or upon continuation of the Contract by the spouse (unless your endorsement is a For Life GMWB with Joint Option and the spouse continuing the Contract is a Covered Life in which case the For Life Guarantee remains in effect upon continuation of the Contract by the spouse).

§  
Example 8b: If your Contract Value has fallen to $0 prior to the Contract Anniversary on or immediately following your 65th birthday, your GWB is $50,000 and your GAWA is $5,000:
¨  
You will continue to receive automatic payments of a total annual amount that equals your GAWA until your GWB is depleted.  However, your GAWA would not be permitted to exceed your remaining GWB.  Your GAWA is not recalculated since the Contract Value is $0.
¨  
The For Life Guarantee does not become effective due to the depletion of the Contract Value prior to the effective date of the For Life Guarantee.

§  
Example 8c: If on the Contract Anniversary on or immediately following your 65th birthday, your Contract Value is $50,000, your GWB is $0, and your GAWA is $5,000:
¨  
Your GAWA for the next year is recalculated to equal $0, which is equal to 5% of the current GWB ($0*0.05 = $0).
¨  
The For Life Guarantee becomes effective, thus allowing you to make annual withdrawals equal to your GAWA for the rest of your life (or in the case of Joint Owners, until the first death of the Joint Owners or until the death of the last surviving Covered Life if your endorsement is a For Life GMWB with Joint Option).  Once the For Life Guarantee becomes effective, it remains in effect until the endorsement is terminated, as described in the Access to Your Money section of this prospectus, or upon continuation of the Contract by the spouse (unless your endorsement is a For Life GMWB with Joint Option and the spouse continuing the Contract is a Covered Life in which case the For Life Guarantee remains in effect upon continuation of the Contract by the spouse).
¨  
Although your GAWA is $0, upon step-up your GWB and your GAWA would increase to values greater than $0 and since the For Life Guarantee has become effective, you could withdraw an annual amount equal to your GAWA for the rest of your life (or in the case of Joint Owners, until the first death of the Joint Owners or until the death of the last surviving Covered Life if your endorsement is a For Life GMWB with Joint Option).

§  
Notes:
¨  
For endorsements with a Joint Option, your GAWA is recalculated and the For Life Guarantee becomes effective on the Contract Anniversary on or immediately following the youngest Covered Life's 65th birthday.

Example 9: For Life Guarantee on a For Life GMWB with Joint Option.  (This example only applies if your endorsement is a For Life GMWB with Joint Option.)

§  
If at the time of the first death of the Covered Lives the Contract Value is $105,000, your GWB is $100,000, and your GAWA is $5,000:
¨  
The spouse may continue the Contract and the For Life Guarantee will remain in effect or become effective on the Contract Anniversary on or immediately following the date that the youngest Covered Life attains (or would have attained) age 65.  Once the For Life Guarantee becomes effective, the surviving Covered Life will be able to take annual withdrawals equal to the GAWA for the rest of his or her life.
¨  
Your GWB remains $100,000 and your GAWA remains $5,000.

ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUES

The tables reflect the accumulation unit values for each Investment Division for the beginning and end of the periods indicated, and the number of accumulation units outstanding as of the end of the periods indicated – for each of a base Contract (with no optional endorsements) and for each Contract with the most expensive combination of optional endorsements (through the end of the most recent period).   The tables do not provide partial year information.  The tables provide accumulation unit values and the number of accumulation units outstanding only if that information is available throughout the period.  Where accumulation unit values and the number of accumulation units outstanding are unavailable, either because of a partial year or a Fund not being offered, a “N/A” is provided.

This information derives from the financial statements of the Separate Account, which together constitute the Separate Account’s condensed financial information.  The annualized charge for your Contract may fall in between the charge for a base Contract and a Contract with the most expensive combination of optional endorsements, and complete condensed financial information about the Separate Account is available in the SAI.  Contact the Annuity Service Center to request your copy free of charge, and contact information is on the cover page of the prospectus.  Also, please ask about the more timely accumulation unit values that are available for each Investment Division.

General Information and History

Jackson National Separate Account - I (Separate Account) is a separate investment account of Jackson National Life Insurance Company (Jackson®).  Jackson is a wholly owned subsidiary of Brooke Life Insurance Company and is ultimately a wholly owned subsidiary of Prudential plc, London, England, a publicly traded life insurance company in the United Kingdom.

Services

Jackson keeps the assets of the Separate Account.  Jackson holds all cash of the Separate Account and attends to the collection of proceeds of shares of the underlying Funds bought and sold by the Separate Account.

The financial statements of Jackson National Separate Account - I and Jackson National Life Insurance Company for the periods indicated have been included herein in reliance upon the reports of KPMG LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, appearing elsewhere herein, and upon the authority of said firm as experts in accounting and auditing.  KPMG LLP is located at 303 East Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60601.

Purchase of Securities Being Offered

The Contracts will be sold by licensed insurance agents in states where the Contracts may be lawfully sold.  The agents will be registered representatives of broker-dealers that are registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and members of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA).

Underwriters

The Contracts are offered continuously and are distributed by Jackson National Life Distributors LLC (JNLD), 7601 Technology Way, Denver, Colorado 80237.  JNLD is a subsidiary of Jackson.

The aggregate amount of underwriting commissions paid to broker/dealers was $2,049 in 2009 , $2,678 in 2010 and $2,957 .  We paid no commissions prior to 2007 because the Contracts were not available for sale.  JNLD did not retain any portion of the commissions.

Calculation of Performance

When Jackson advertises performance for an Investment Division, we will include quotations of standardized average annual total return to facilitate comparison with standardized average annual total return advertised by other variable annuity separate accounts.  Standardized average annual total return for an Investment Division will be shown for periods beginning on the date the Investment Division first invested in the corresponding Funds.  We will calculate standardized average annual total return according to the standard methods prescribed by rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Standardized average annual total return for a specific period is calculated by taking a hypothetical $1,000 investment in an Investment Division at the offering on the first day of the period ("initial investment") and computing the average annual compounded rate of return for the period that would equate the initial investment with the ending redeemable value ("redeemable value") of that investment at the end of the period, carried to at least the nearest hundredth of a percent.  Standardized average annual total return reflects the deduction of all recurring charges that are charged to all Contracts.  The redeemable value also reflects the effect of any applicable withdrawal charge or other charge that may be imposed at the end of the period.  No deduction is made for premium taxes that may be assessed by certain states.

Jackson may also advertise non-standardized total return on an annualized and cumulative basis.  Non-standardized total return may be for periods other than those required to be presented or may otherwise differ from standardized average annual total return.  The Contract is designed for long-term investment; therefore, Jackson believes that non-standardized total return that does not reflect the deduction of any applicable withdrawal charge may be useful to investors.  Reflecting the deduction of the withdrawal charge decreases the level of performance advertised. Non-standardized total return may also assume a larger initial investment that more closely approximates the size of a typical Contract.

Standardized average annual total return quotations will be current to the last day of the calendar quarter preceding the date on which an advertisement is submitted for publication.  Both standardized average annual total return quotations and non-standardized total return quotations will be based on rolling calendar quarters and will cover at least periods of one, five, and ten years, or a period covering the time the Investment Division has been in existence, if it has not been in existence for one of the prescribed periods.

Quotations of standardized average annual total return and non-standardized total return are based upon historical earnings and will fluctuate.  Any quotation of performance should not be considered a guarantee of future performance.  Factors affecting the performance of an Investment Division and its corresponding Fund include general market conditions, operating expenses and investment management.  An owner's withdrawal value upon surrender of a Contract may be more or less than its original cost.

Jackson may advertise the current annualized yield for a 30-day period for an Investment Division.  The annualized yield of an Investment Division refers to the income generated by the Investment Division over a specified 30-day period.  Because this yield is annualized, the yield generated by an Investment Division during the 30-day period is assumed to be generated each 30-day period.  The yield is computed by dividing the net investment income per accumulation unit earned during the period by the price per unit on the last day of the period, according to the following formula:

   
 
Where:

a
=
net investment income earned during the period by the Fund attributable to shares owned by the Investment Division.
b
=
expenses for the Investment Division accrued for the period (net of reimbursements).
c
=
the average daily number of accumulation units outstanding during the period.
d
=
the maximum offering price per accumulation unit on the last day of the period.

The maximum withdrawal charge is 5%.

Net investment income will be determined in accordance with rules established by the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Accrued expenses will include all recurring fees that are charged to all Contracts.

Because of the charges and deductions imposed by the Separate Account, the yield for an Investment Division will be lower than the yield for the corresponding Funds.  The yield on amounts held in the Investment Division normally will fluctuate over time.  Therefore, the disclosed yield for any given period is not an indication or representation of future yields or rates of return.  An Investment Division's actual yield will be affected by the types and quality of portfolio securities held by the Fund and the Fund operating expenses.

Additional Tax Information

NOTE: INFORMATION CONTAINED HEREIN SHOULD NOT BE SUBSTITUTED FOR THE ADVICE OF A PERSONAL TAX ADVISER.  JACKSON DOES NOT MAKE ANY GUARANTEE REGARDING THE TAX STATUS OF ANY CONTRACT OR ANY TRANSACTION INVOLVING THE CONTRACTS.  PURCHASERS BEAR THE COMPLETE RISK THAT THE CONTRACTS MAY NOT BE TREATED AS "ANNUITY CONTRACTS" UNDER FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS. IT SHOULD BE FURTHER UNDERSTOOD THAT THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IS NOT EXHAUSTIVE AND THAT OTHER SPECIAL RULES MAY BE APPLICABLE IN CERTAIN SITUATIONS.  MOREOVER, NO ATTEMPT HAS BEEN MADE TO CONSIDER ANY APPLICABLE STATE OR OTHER TAX LAWS OR TO COMPARE THE TAX TREATMENT OF THE CONTRACTS TO THE TAX TREATMENT OF ANY OTHER INVESTMENT.

Jackson's Tax Status

Jackson is taxed as a life insurance company under the Internal Revenue Code of   1986, as amended (the "Code").  For federal income tax purposes, the Separate Account is not a separate entity from Jackson and its operations form a part of Jackson.

Taxation of Annuity Contracts in General

Section 72 of the Code governs the taxation of annuities in general.  An individual owner is not taxed on increases in the value of a Contract until distribution occurs, either in the form of a withdrawal or as annuity payments under the annuity option elected.  For a withdrawal received as a total surrender (total redemption or a death benefit), the recipient is taxed on the portion of the payment that exceeds the cost basis of the Contract.  For a payment received as a partial withdrawal from a non-qualified Contract, federal tax liability is generally determined on a last-in, first-out basis, meaning taxable income is withdrawn before the cost basis of the Contract is withdrawn. In the case of a partial withdrawal under a tax-qualified Contract, a ratable portion of the amount received is taxable.  For Contracts issued in connection with non-qualified plans, the cost basis is generally the premiums, while for Contracts issued in connection with tax-qualified plans there may be no cost basis.  The taxable portion of a withdrawal is taxed at ordinary income tax rates.  Tax penalties may also apply.

For annuity payments, a portion of each payment in excess of an exclusion amount is includable in taxable income.  All annuity payments in excess of the exclusion amount are fully taxable at ordinary income rates.

The exclusion amount for payments based on a fixed annuity option is determined by multiplying the payment by the ratio that the cost basis of the Contract (adjusted for any period certain or refund feature) bears to the expected return under the Contract.  The exclusion amount for payments based on a variable annuity option is determined by dividing the cost basis of the Contract (adjusted for any period certain or refund guarantee) by the fixed or estimated number of years for which annuity payments are to be made.  No exclusion is allowed with respect to any payments received after the investment in the Contract has been recovered (i.e., when the total of the excludable amounts equals the investment in the Contract).  For certain types of tax-qualified plans there may be no cost basis in the Contract within the meaning of Section 72 of the Code. Owners, annuitants and beneficiaries under the Contracts should seek competent financial advice about the tax consequences of distributions.

Medicare Tax on Net Investment Income

Beginning in 2013, the taxable portion of distributions from a non-qualified annuity Contract will be considered investment income for purposes of the new Medicare tax on investment income.  As a result, a 3.8% tax will generally apply to some or all of the taxable portion of distributions to individuals whose modified adjusted gross income exceeds certain threshold amounts.  For 2013, these levels are $200,000 in the case of single taxpayers, $250,000 in the case of married taxpayers filing joint returns, and $125,000 in the case of married taxpayers filing separately.  Owners should consult their own tax advisers for more information.

Withholding Tax on Distributions

The Code generally requires Jackson (or, in some cases, a plan administrator) to withhold tax on the taxable portion of any distribution or withdrawal from a Contract.  For "eligible rollover distributions" from Contracts issued under certain types of tax-qualified plans, 20% of the distribution must be withheld, unless the payee elects to have the distribution "rolled over" to another eligible plan in a direct transfer.  This requirement is mandatory and cannot be waived by the owner.

An "eligible rollover distribution" is the taxable portion of any amount received by a covered employee from a plan qualified under Section 401(a) or 403(a) of the Code, from a tax sheltered annuity qualified under Section 403(b) of the Code or an eligible deferred compensation plan of a state or local government under Section 457(b) of the Code (other than (1) a series of substantially equal periodic payments (not less frequently than annually) for the life (or life expectancy) of the employee, or joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the employee, and his or her designated beneficiary, or for a specified period of ten years or more; (2) minimum distributions required to be made under the Code; and (3) hardship withdrawals).  Failure to "roll over" the entire amount of an eligible rollover distribution (including the amount equal to the 20% portion of the distribution that was withheld) could have adverse tax consequences, including the imposition of a penalty tax on premature withdrawals, described later in this section.

Withdrawals or distributions from a Contract other than eligible rollover distributions are also subject to withholding on the taxable portion of the distribution, but the owner may elect in such cases to waive the withholding requirement.  If not waived, withholding is imposed (1) for periodic payments, at the rate that would be imposed if the payments were wages, or (2) for other distributions, at the rate of 10%.  If no withholding exemption certificate is in effect for the payee, the rate under (1) above is computed by treating the payee as a married individual claiming three withholding exemptions.

Generally, the amount of any payment of interest to a non-resident alien of the United States shall be subject to withholding of a tax equal to 30% of such amount or, if applicable, a lower treaty rate.  A payment may not be subject to withholding where the recipient sufficiently establishes that such payment is effectively connected to the recipient's conduct of a trade or business in the United States and such payment is included in the recipient's gross income.


 
 

 

Diversification -- Separate Account Investments

Section 817(h) of the Code imposes certain asset diversification standards on variable annuity Contracts.  The Code provides that a variable annuity Contract will not be treated as an annuity Contract for any period (and any subsequent period) for which the investments held in any segregated asset account underlying the Contract are not adequately diversified, in accordance with regulations prescribed by the United States Treasury Department ("Treasury Department").  Disqualification of the Contract as an annuity Contract would result in imposition of federal income tax to the owner with respect to earnings allocable to the Contract prior to the receipt of payments under the Contract.  The Code contains a safe harbor provision which provides that annuity Contracts, such as the Contracts, meet the diversification requirements if, as of the last day of each calendar quarter, or within 30 days after such last day, the underlying assets meet the diversification standards for a regulated investment company and no more than 55% of the total assets consist of cash, cash items, U.S. government securities and securities of other regulated investment companies.

The Treasury Department has issued Regulations establishing diversification requirements for the mutual Funds underlying variable Contracts.  These Regulations amplify the diversification requirements for variable Contracts set forth in the Code and provide an alternative to the safe harbor provision described above.  Under these Regulations, a mutual Fund will be deemed adequately diversified if (1) no more than 55% of the value of the total assets of the mutual Fund is represented by any one investment; (2) no more than 70% of the value of the total assets of the mutual Fund is represented by any two investments; (3) no more than 80% of the value of the total assets of the mutual Fund is represented by any three investments; and (4) no more than 90% of the value of the total assets of the mutual Fund is represented by any four investments.

Jackson intends that each Fund of the JNL Series Trust will be managed by its respective investment adviser in such a manner as to comply with these diversification requirements.

At the time the Treasury Department issued the diversification Regulations, it did not provide guidance regarding the circumstances under which Contract owner control of the investments of a segregated asset account would cause the Contract owner to be treated as the owner of the assets of the segregated asset account.  Revenue Ruling 2003-91 provides such guidance by describing the circumstances under which the owner of a variable contract will not possess sufficient control over the assets underlying the contract to be treated as the owner of those assets for federal income tax purposes.

Rev. Rul. 2003-91 considered certain variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts and held that the types of actual and potential control that the contract owners could exercise over the investment assets held by the insurance company under these variable contracts was not sufficient to cause the contract owners to be treated as the owners of those assets and thus to be subject to current income tax on the income and gains produced by those assets.  Under the contracts in Rev. Rul. 2003-91 there was no arrangement, plan, contract or agreement between the contract owner and the insurance company regarding the availability of a particular investment option and other than the contract owner's right to allocate premiums and transfer funds among the available sub-accounts, all investment decisions concerning the sub-accounts were made by the insurance company or an advisor in its sole and absolute discretion.  Twelve investment options were available under the contracts in Rev. Rul. 2003-91 although the insurance company had the right to increase (but to no more than 20) or decrease the number of sub-accounts at any time.  The contract owner was permitted to transfer amounts among the various investment options without limitation, subject to incurring fees for more than one transfer per 30-day period.
Like the contracts described in Rev. Rul. 2003-91, under the Contract there will be no arrangement, plan, contract or agreement between a Contract owner and Jackson regarding the availability of a particular Allocation Option and other than the Contract owner's right to allocate premiums and transfer funds among the available Allocation Options, all investment decisions concerning the Allocation Options will be made by Jackson or an advisor in its sole and absolute discretion.  The Contract will differ from the contracts described in Rev. Rul. 2003-91 in two respects.  The first difference is that the contracts described in Rev. Rul. 2003-91 provided only 12 investment options with the insurance company having the ability to add an additional 8 options whereas the Contract currently offers 3 Investment Divisions and at least 1 Fixed Account option.  The second difference is that the owner of a contract in Rev. Rul. 2003-91 could only make one transfer per 30-day period without a fee whereas during the accumulation phase, a Contract owner is permitted to make up to 15 transfers in any one year without a charge.

Rev. Rul. 2003-91 states that whether the owner of a variable contract is to be treated as the owner of the assets held by the insurance company under the contract will depend on all of the facts and circumstances.  Jackson does not believe that the differences between the Contract and the contracts described in Rev. Rul. 2003-91 with respect to the number of investment choices and the number of investment transfers that can be made under the Contract without an additional charge should prevent the holding in Rev. Rul. 2003-91 from applying to the owner of a Contract.  At this time, however, it cannot be determined whether additional guidance will be provided by the IRS on this issue and what standards may be contained in such guidance.  Jackson reserves the right to modify the Contract to the extent required to maintain favorable tax treatment.

Multiple Contracts

The Code provides that multiple non-qualified annuity Contracts that are issued within a calendar year to the same Contract owner by one company or its affiliates are treated as one annuity Contract for purposes of determining the tax consequences of any distribution.  Such treatment may result in adverse tax consequences including more rapid taxation of the distributed amounts from such multiple Contracts.  For purposes of this rule, Contracts received in a Section 1035 exchange will be considered issued in the year of the exchange.  Owners should consult a tax adviser prior to purchasing more than one annuity Contract in any calendar year.

Partial 1035 Exchanges

In accordance with Revenue Procedure 2011-38 , the IRS will consider a partial exchange of an annuity Contract for another annuity Contract valid if there is either no withdrawal from, or surrender of, either the surviving annuity contract or the new annuity contract within 180 days of the date of the partial exchange.   Revenue Procedure 2011-38 also provides certain exceptions to the 180 day rule.   Due to the complexity of these rules, owners are encouraged to consult their own tax advisers prior to entering into a partial exchange of an annuity Contract.

Contracts Owned by Other Than Natural Persons

Under Section 72(u) of the Code, the investment earnings on premiums for Contracts will be taxed currently to the owner if the owner is a non-natural person, e.g., a corporation or certain other entities.  Such Contracts generally will not be treated as annuities for federal income tax purposes (except for the taxation of life insurance companies).  However, this treatment is not applied to Contracts held by a trust or other entity as an agent for a natural person nor to Contracts held by certain tax-qualified plans.  Purchasers should consult their own tax counsel or other tax adviser before purchasing a Contract to be owned by a non-natural person.

Tax Treatment of Assignments

An assignment or pledge of a Contract may have tax consequences.  Any assignment or pledge of a tax-qualified Contract may also be prohibited by ERISA in some circumstances.  Owners should, therefore, consult competent legal advisers should they wish to assign or pledge their Contracts.

An assignment or pledge of all or any portion of the value of a Non-Qualified Contract is treated under Section 72 of the Code as an amount not received as an annuity.  The value of the Contract assigned or pledged that exceeds the aggregate premiums paid will be included in the individual's gross income.  In addition, the amount included in the individual's gross income could also be subject to the 10% penalty tax discussed below under Non-Qualified Contracts.

An assignment or pledge of all or any portion of the value of a Qualified Contract will disqualify the Qualified Contract.  If the Qualified Contract is part of a qualified pension or profit-sharing plan, the Code prohibits the assignment or alienation of benefits provided under the plan.  If the Qualified Contract is an IRA annuity or a 403(b) annuity, the Code requires the Qualified Contract to be nontransferable.  If the Qualified Contract is part of an eligible deferred compensation plan, amounts cannot be made available to plan participants or beneficiaries: (1) until the calendar year in which the participant attains age 70 1/2; (2) when the participant has a severance from employment; or (3) when the participant is faced with an unforeseeable emergency.

Death Benefits

Any death benefits paid under the Contract are taxable to the beneficiary.  The rules governing the taxation of payments from an annuity Contract, as discussed above, generally apply to the payment of death benefits and depend on whether the death benefits are paid as a lump sum or as annuity payments.  Estate or gift taxes may also apply.

Tax-Qualified Plans

The Contracts offered by the Prospectus are designed to be suitable for use under various types of tax-qualified plans.  Taxation of owners of a tax-qualified Contract will vary based on the type of plan and the terms and conditions of each specific plan.  Owners, annuitants and beneficiaries are cautioned that benefits under a tax-qualified Contract may be subject to the terms and conditions of the plan, regardless of the terms and conditions of the Contracts issued to fund the plan.  Owners, annuitant and beneficiaries are also reminded that a tax-qualified Contract will not provide any necessary or additional tax deferral if it is used to fund a tax-qualified plan that is already tax-deferred.

Tax Treatment of Withdrawals

Non-Qualified Contracts

Section 72 of the Code governs treatment of distributions from annuity Contracts.  It provides that if the Contract value exceeds the aggregate premiums made, any amount withdrawn not in the form of an annuity payment will be treated as coming first from the earnings and then, only after the income portion is exhausted, as coming from the principal.  Withdrawn earnings are included in a taxpayer's gross income.  Section 72 further provides that a 10% penalty will apply to the income portion of any distribution.  The penalty is not imposed on amounts received: (1) after the taxpayer reaches 59 1/2; (2) upon the death of the owner; (3) if the taxpayer is totally disabled as defined in Section 72(m)(7) of the Code; (4) in a series of substantially equal periodic payments made at least annually for the life (or life expectancy) of the taxpayer or for the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the taxpayer and his beneficiary; (5) under an immediate annuity; or (6) which are allocable to premium payments made prior to August 14, 1982.

With respect to (4) above, if the series of substantially equal periodic payments is modified before the later of your attaining age 59 1/2 or five years from the date of the first periodic payment, then the tax for the year of the modification is increased by an amount equal to the tax which would have been imposed (the 10% penalty tax) but for the exception, plus interest for the tax years in which the exception was used.

Tax-Qualified Contracts

In the case of a withdrawal under a tax-qualified Contract, a ratable portion of the amount received is taxable, generally based on the ratio of the individual's cost basis to the individual's total accrued benefit under the retirement plan.  Special tax rules may be available for certain distributions from a tax-qualified Contract.  Section 72(t) of the Code imposes a 10% penalty tax on the taxable portion of any distribution from qualified retirement plans, including Contracts issued and qualified under Code Sections 401 (pension and profit sharing plans), 403(b) (tax-sheltered annuities), individual retirement accounts and annuities under 408(a) and (b) (IRAs) and Roth IRAs under 408A.  To the extent amounts are not included in gross income because they have been rolled over to an IRA or to another eligible qualified plan, no tax penalty will be imposed.

The tax penalty will not apply to the following distributions: (1) distributions made on or after the date on which the owner or annuitant (as applicable) reaches age 59 1/2; (2) distributions following the death or disability of the owner or annuitant (as applicable) (for this purpose "disability" is defined in Section 72(m)(7) of the Code); (3) distributions that are part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments made not less frequently than annually for the life (or life expectancy) of the owner or annuitant (as applicable) or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of such owner or annuitant (as applicable) and his or her designated beneficiary; (4) distributions to an owner or annuitant (as applicable) who has separated from service after he has attained age 55; (5) distributions made to the owner or annuitant (as applicable) to the extent such distributions do not exceed the amount allowable as a deduction under Code Section 213 to the owner or annuitant (as applicable) for amounts paid during the taxable year for medical care; (6) distributions made to an alternate payee pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order; (7) distributions made on account of an IRS levy upon the qualified Contracts; (8) distributions from an IRA after separation from employment for the purchase of medical insurance (as described in Section 213(d)(1)(D) of the Code) for the Contract owner or annuitant (as applicable) and his or her spouse and dependents if the Contract owner or annuitant (as applicable) has received unemployment compensation for at least 12 weeks (this exception will no longer apply after the Contract owner or annuitant (as applicable) has been re-employed for at least 60 days); (9) distributions from an IRA made to the owner or annuitant (as applicable) to the extent such distributions do not exceed the qualified higher education expenses (as defined in Section 72(t)(7) of the Code) (as applicable) for the taxable year; and (10) distributions from an  IRA made to the owner or annuitant (as applicable) which are qualified first time home buyer distributions (as defined in Section 72(t)(8) of the Code).  The exceptions stated in items (4) and (6) above do not apply in the case of an IRA.  The exception stated in (3) above applies to an IRA without the requirement that there be a separation from service.

With respect to (3) above, if the series of substantially equal periodic payments is modified before the later of your attaining age 59 1/2 or five years from the date of the first periodic payment, then the tax for the year of the modification is increased by an amount equal to the tax which would have been imposed (the 10% penalty tax) but for the exception, plus interest for the tax years in which the exception was used.

Withdrawals of amounts attributable to contributions made pursuant to a salary reduction agreement (in accordance with Section 403(b)(11) of the Code) are limited to the following: when the owner attains age 59 1/2, severs employment, dies, becomes disabled (within the meaning of Section 72(m)(7) of the Code), or in the case of hardship.  Hardship withdrawals do not include any earnings on salary reduction contributions.  These limitations on withdrawals apply to: (1) salary reduction contributions made after December 31, 1988; (2) income attributable to such contributions; and (3) income attributable to amounts held as of December 31, 1988.  The limitations on withdrawals do not affect rollovers or exchanges between certain tax-qualified plans.  Tax penalties may also apply.  While the foregoing limitations only apply to certain Contracts issued in connection with Section 403(b) plans, all owners should seek competent tax advice regarding any withdrawals or distributions.

The taxable portion of a withdrawal or distribution from tax-qualified Contracts may, under some circumstances, be "rolled over" into another eligible plan so as to continue to defer income tax on the taxable portion.  Such treatment is available for an "eligible rollover distribution" made by certain types of plans (as described above under "Taxes – Withholding Tax on Distributions") that is transferred within 60 days of receipt into another eligible plan or an IRA.  Plans making such eligible rollover distributions are also required, with some exceptions specified in the Code, to provide for a direct transfer of the distribution to the transferee plan designated by the recipient.

Amounts received from IRAs may also be rolled over into other IRAs or certain other plans, subject to limitations set forth in the Code.

Prior to the date that annuity payments begin under an annuity Contract, the required minimum distribution rules applicable to defined contribution plans and IRAs will be used.  Generally, distributions from a tax-qualified plan must commence no later than April 1 of the calendar year following the year in which the employee attains the later of age 70 1/2 or the date of retirement.  In the case of an IRA, distributions must commence no later than April 1 of the calendar year following the year in which the owner attains age 70 1/2.  Required distributions from defined contribution plans and IRAs are determined by dividing the account balance by the appropriate distribution period found in a uniform lifetime distribution table set forth in IRS regulations.  For this purpose, the entire interest under an annuity Contract is the account value under the Contract plus the actuarial value of any other benefits such as guaranteed death benefits that will be provided under the Contract.
If the sole beneficiary is the Contract holder's or employee's spouse and the spouse is more than 10 years younger than the employee, a longer distribution period measured by the joint life and last survivor expectancy of the Contract holder employee and spouse is permitted to be used.  Distributions under a defined benefit plan or an annuity Contract must be paid in the form of periodic annuity payments for the employee's life (or the joint lives of the employee and beneficiary) or over a period certain that does not exceed the period under the uniform lifetime table for the employee's age in the year in which the annuity starting date occurs.  If the required minimum distributions are not made, a 50% penalty tax on the amount not distributed is imposed on the individual.

Types of Tax-Qualified Plans

The Contracts offered herein are designed to be suitable for use under various types of tax-qualified plans.  Taxation of participants in each tax-qualified plan varies with the type of plan and terms and conditions of each specific plan.  Owners, annuitants and beneficiaries are cautioned that benefits under a tax-qualified plan may be subject to the terms and conditions of the plan regardless of the terms and conditions of the Contracts issued pursuant to the plan.  Some retirement plans are subject to distribution and other requirements that are not incorporated into Jackson's administrative procedures.  Jackson is not bound by the terms and conditions of such plans to the extent such terms conflict with the terms of a Contract, unless Jackson specifically consents to be bound.  Owners, annuitants and beneficiaries are responsible for determining that contributions, distributions and other transactions with respect to the Contracts comply with applicable law.

A tax-qualified Contract will not provide any necessary or additional tax deferral if it is used to fund a tax-qualified plan that is tax deferred.  However, the Contract has features and benefits other than tax deferral that may make it an appropriate investment for a tax-qualified plan.  Following are general descriptions of the types of tax-qualified plans with which the Contracts may be used.  Such descriptions are not exhaustive and are for general informational purposes only.  The tax rules regarding tax-qualified plans are very complex and will have differing applications depending on individual facts and circumstances.  Each purchaser should obtain competent tax advice prior to purchasing a Contract issued under a tax-qualified plan.

Contracts issued pursuant to tax-qualified plans include special provisions restricting Contract provisions that may otherwise be available as described herein.  Generally, Contracts issued pursuant to tax-qualified plans are not transferable except upon surrender or annuitization.  Various penalty and excise taxes may apply to contributions or distributions made in violation of applicable limitations.  Furthermore, certain withdrawal penalties and restrictions may apply to surrenders from Tax-Qualified Contracts.  (See "Tax Treatment of Withdrawals – Tax-Qualified Contracts" above.)

On July 6, 1983, the Supreme Court decided in Arizona Governing Committee v. Norris that benefits provided under an employer's deferred compensation plan could not, under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, vary between men and women.  The Contracts sold by Jackson in connection with certain Tax-Qualified Plans will utilize tables that do not differentiate on the basis of sex.  Such annuity tables will also be available for use in connection with certain non-qualified deferred compensation plans.

(a) Tax-Sheltered Annuities

 
Section 403(b) of the Code permits the purchase of "tax-sheltered annuities" by public schools and certain charitable, educational and scientific organizations described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Code.  These qualifying employers may make contributions to the Contracts for the benefit of their employees.  Such contributions are not included in the gross income of the employee until the employee receives distributions from the Contract.  The amount of contributions to the tax-sheltered annuity is limited to certain maximums imposed by the Code.  Furthermore, the Code sets forth additional restrictions governing such items as transferability, distributions, non-discrimination and withdrawals. Employee loans are not allowed under these Contracts.  Any employee should obtain competent tax advice as to the tax treatment and suitability of such an investment.

(b) Individual Retirement Annuities

 
Section 408(b) of the Code permits eligible individuals to contribute to an individual retirement program known as an "individual retirement annuity" ("IRA annuity").  Under applicable limitations, certain amounts may be contributed to an IRA annuity that will be deductible from the individual's gross income.  IRA annuities are subject to limitations on eligibility, contributions, transferability and distributions.  Sales of IRA annuities are subject to special requirements imposed by the Code, including the requirement that certain informational disclosure be given to persons desiring to establish an IRA.  Purchasers of Contracts to be qualified as IRA annuities should obtain competent tax advice as to the tax treatment and suitability of such an investment.

(c) Roth IRA Annuities

Section 408A of the Code provides that individuals may purchase a non-deductible IRA annuity, known as a Roth IRA annuity.  Purchase payments for Roth IRA annuities are limited to a maximum of $5,000 for 2012 .  The limit will be adjusted annually for inflation in $500 increments.  In addition, the Act allows individuals age 50 and older to make additional catch-up IRA contributions.  The otherwise maximum contribution limit (before application of adjusted gross income phase-out limits) for an individual who had celebrated his or her 50th birthday before the end of the tax year is increased by $1,000.  The same contribution and catch-up contributions are also available for purchasers of Traditional IRA annuities.

Lower maximum limitations apply to individuals above certain adjusted gross income levels.  For 2012 , these levels are $ 110 ,000 in the case of single taxpayers, $ 173 ,000 in the case of married taxpayers filing joint returns, and $0 in the case of married taxpayers filing separately.  These levels are indexed annually in $1,000 increments.

An overall $5,000 annual limitation (increased as discussed above) continues to apply to all of a taxpayer's IRA annuity contributions, including Roth IRA annuities and non-Roth IRA annuities.

Qualified distributions from Roth IRA annuities are free from federal income tax.  A qualified distribution requires that the individual has held the Roth IRA annuity for at least five years and, in addition, that the distribution is made either after the individual reaches age 59 1/2, on the individual's death or disability, or as a qualified first-time home purchase, subject to a $10,000 lifetime maximum, for the individual, a spouse, child, grandchild, or ancestor.  Any distribution that is not a qualified distribution is taxable to the extent of earnings in the distribution.  Distributions are treated as made from contributions first and therefore no distributions are taxable until distributions exceed the amount of contributions to the Roth IRA annuity.  The 10% penalty tax and the regular IRA annuity exceptions to the 10% penalty tax apply to taxable distributions from Roth IRA annuities.

Amounts may be rolled over from one Roth IRA annuity to another Roth IRA annuity.  Furthermore, an individual may make a rollover contribution from a non-Roth IRA annuity to a Roth IRA annuity.  The individual must pay tax on any portion of the IRA annuity being rolled over that would be included in income if the distributions were not rolled over.  For rollovers in 2010, the income may be reported ratably in 2011 and 2012.  There are no similar limitations on rollovers from one Roth IRA annuity to another Roth IRA annuity.

(d) Pension and Profit-Sharing Plans

The Internal Revenue Code permits employers, including self-employed individuals, to establish various types of qualified retirement plans for employees.  These retirement plans may permit the purchase of the Contracts to provide benefits under the plan.  Contributions to the plan for the benefit of employees will not be included in the gross income of the employee until distributed from the plan.  The tax consequences to owners may vary depending upon the particular plan design.  However, the Code places limitations on all plans on such items as amount of allowable contributions; form, manner and timing of distributions; vesting and non-forfeitability of interests; nondiscrimination in eligibility and participation; and the tax treatment of distributions, transferability of benefits, withdrawals and surrenders.  Purchasers of Contracts for use with pension or profit sharing plans should obtain competent tax advice as to the tax treatment and suitability of such an investment.

(e) Eligible Deferred Compensation Plans - Section 457

Under Code provisions, employees and independent Contractors performing services for state and local governments and other tax-exempt organizations may participate in eligible deferred compensation plans under Section 457 of the Code.  The amounts deferred under a Plan that meets the requirements of Section 457 of the Code are not taxable as income to the participant until paid or otherwise made available to the participant or beneficiary.   As a general rule, the maximum amount that can be deferred in any one year is the lesser of 100% of the participant's includible compensation or the $17,000 elective deferral limitation in 2012 .  The limit is indexed for inflation in $500 increments annually thereafter.  In addition, the Act allows individuals in eligible deferred compensation plans of state or local governments age 50 and older to make additional catch-up contributions.  The otherwise maximum contribution limit for an individual who had celebrated his or her 50th birthday before the end of the tax year is increased by $5,500.

The same contribution and catch-up contributions are also available for participants in qualified pension and profit-sharing plans and tax-sheltered annuities under Section 403(b) of the Code.
In limited circumstances, the plan may provide for additional catch-up contributions in each of the last three years before normal retirement age.  Furthermore, the Code provides additional requirements and restrictions regarding eligibility and distributions.

All of the assets and income of an eligible deferred compensation plan established by a governmental employer must be held in trust for the exclusive benefit of participants and their beneficiaries.  For this purpose, custodial accounts and certain annuity Contracts are treated as trusts.  The requirement of a trust does not apply to amounts under a Plan of a tax-exempt (non-governmental) employer.  In addition, the requirement of a trust does not apply to amounts under a Plan of a governmental employer if the Plan is not an eligible plan within the meaning of Section 457(b) of the Code.  In the absence of such a trust, amounts under the plan will be subject to the claims of the employer's general creditors.

In general, distributions from a Plan are prohibited under Section 457 of the Code unless made after the participant:

attains age 70 1/2,
severs employment,
dies, or
suffers an unforeseeable financial emergency as defined in the regulations.

Under present federal tax law, amounts accumulated in a Plan of a tax-exempt (non-governmental) employer under Section 457 of the Code cannot be transferred or rolled over on a tax-deferred basis except for certain transfers to other Plans under Section 457.  Amounts accumulated in a Plan of a state or local government employer may be transferred or rolled over to another eligible deferred compensation plan of a state or local government, an IRA, a qualified pension or profit-sharing plan or a tax-sheltered annuity under Section 403(b) of the Code.

Annuity Provisions

Variable Annuity Payment

The initial annuity payment is determined by taking the Contract value allocated to that Investment Division, less any premium tax and any applicable Contract charges, and then applying it to the income option table specified in the Contract.  The appropriate rate must be determined by the sex (except where, as in the case of certain Qualified Plans and other employer-sponsored retirement plans, such classification is not permitted) and age of the annuitant and designated second person, if any.

The dollars applied are divided by 1,000 and the result multiplied by the appropriate annuity factor appearing in the table to compute the amount of the first monthly payment.  That amount is divided by the value of an annuity unit as of the Income Date to establish the number of annuity units representing each variable payment.  The number of annuity units determined for the first variable payment remains constant for the second and subsequent monthly variable payments, assuming that no reallocation of Contract values is made.

The amount of the second and each subsequent monthly variable payment is determined by multiplying the number of annuity units by the annuity unit value as of the business day next preceding the date on which each payment is due.

The mortality and expense experience will not adversely affect the dollar amount of the variable annuity payments once payments have commenced.

Annuity Unit Value

The initial value of an annuity unit of each Investment Division was set when the Investment Divisions were established.  The value may increase or decrease from one business day to the next.  The income option tables contained in the Contract are based on an assumed investment rate of 3%.

The value of a fixed number of annuity units will reflect the investment performance of the Investment Divisions elected, and the amount of each payment will vary accordingly.

For each Investment Division, the value of an annuity unit for any business day is determined by multiplying the annuity unit value for the immediately preceding business day by the percentage change in the value of an accumulation unit from the immediately preceding business day to the business day of valuation, calculated by use of the Net Investment Factor, described below. The result is then multiplied by a second factor which offsets the effect of the assumed net investment rate of 3%.

Net Investment Factor

The net investment factor is an index applied to measure the net investment performance of an Investment Division from one valuation date to the next. The net investment factor for any Investment Division for any valuation period during the accumulation and annuity phases is determined by dividing (a) by (b) and then subtracting (c) from the result where:

(a)
is the net result of:
 
(1)
the net asset value of a Fund's share held in the Investment Division determined as of the valuation date at the end of the valuation period, plus
 
(2)
the per share amount of any dividend or other distribution declared by the Fund if the "ex-dividend" date occurs during the valuation period, plus or minus
 
(3)
a per share credit or charge with respect to any taxes paid or reserved for by Jackson during the valuation period which are determined by Jackson to be attributable to the operation of the Investment Division (no federal income taxes are applicable under present law);
(b)
is the net asset value of the Fund share held in the Investment Division determined as of the valuation date at the end of the preceding valuation period; and
(c)
is the asset charge factor determined by Jackson for the valuation period to reflect the asset-based charges (the mortality and expense risk charge), administration charge, and any applicable charges for optional benefits.

Also see "Income Payments (The Income Phase)" in the Prospectus.

Condensed Financial Information

Accumulation Unit Values

The tables reflect the accumulation unit values for each Investment Division for the beginning and end of the periods indicated, and the number of accumulation units outstanding as of the end of the periods indicated – for Contracts with all levels of charges (and combinations of optional endorsements). The tables do not provide partial year information.  The tables provide accumulation unit values and the number of accumulation units outstanding only if that information is available throughout the period.  Where accumulation unit values and the number of accumulation units outstanding are unavailable, either because of a partial year or a Fund not being offered, a “N/A” is provided.

This information derives from the financial statements of the Separate Account, which together constitute the Separate Account’s condensed financial information.  Contact the Annuity Service Center to request your copy free of charge, and contact information is on the cover page of the prospectus.  Also, please ask about the more timely accumulation unit values that are available for each Investment Division.

Jackson National Separate Account I
Notes to Financial Statements
 
Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Separate Account in the preparation of its financial statements.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Investments

The Separate Account’s investments in the corresponding series of mutual funds are stated at the closing net asset values of the respective Funds.  The average cost method is used in determining the cost of the shares sold on withdrawals by the Separate Account.  Investments in the Funds are recorded on trade date.  Realized gain distributions and dividend distributions received from the Funds are reinvested in additional shares of the Funds and are recorded as income or gain to the Separate Account on the ex-dividend date.

Federal Income Taxes

The operations of the Separate Account are included in the federal income tax return of Jackson, which is taxed as a “life insurance company” under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.  Under current law, no federal income taxes are payable with respect to the Separate Account.  Therefore, no federal income tax has been provided.

Topic 820 in the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC 820), “Fair Value Measurements”

This standard establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. The changes to current GAAP from the application of this statement relate to the definition of fair value, the methods used to measure fair value, and expanded disclosures about fair value measurements.    
 
Various inputs are used in determining the value of a Fund’s investments under ASC 820 guidance.  The inputs are summarized into three broad categories.  Level 1 includes valuations based on quoted prices of identical securities in active markets.  Level 2 includes valuations for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.  Direct observable inputs include closing prices of similar securities in active markets or closing prices for identical or similar securities in non-active markets.  Indirect observable inputs include factors such as interest rates, yield curves, prepayment speeds, and credit risks.  Level 3 includes valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement including a Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of the investment.  The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.  As of December 31, 2011, all of the Separate Account's investments are in funds for which quoted prices are available in an active market.  Therefore, all investments have been categorized as Level 1.  The characterization of the underlying securities held by the Funds in accordance with ASC 820 differs from the characterization of an investment in the fund.

ASU No. 2011-04 “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards”

In May 2011 FASB released ASU No. 2011-04 “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards”.  ASU 2011-04 further clarifies fair value measurement principles and requires additional disclosures.  Effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, entities will need to disclose the amounts and reasons for any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 securities; quantitative information relating to significant observable inputs, a narrative description of the valuation process, and a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurements to changes in unobservable or Level 3 valuation inputs.

For the year ended December 31, 2011, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 securities.

Jackson National Separate Account I
Notes to Financial Statements
 
Note 3 – Policy Charges

Charges are deducted from the Separate Account and remitted to Jackson, to compensate Jackson for providing the insurance benefits set forth in the contracts, administering the contracts, distributing the contracts, and assuming certain risks in connection with the contracts.

Policyholder Charges

Contract Maintenance Charge

An annual contract maintenance charge of $35 - $50 is charged against each contract to reimburse Jackson for expenses incurred in establishing and maintaining records relating to the contract.  The contract maintenance charge is assessed on each anniversary of the contract date that occurs prior to the annuity date.  This charge is only imposed if the contract value is less than $50,000 on the date when the charge is assessed.  The charge is deducted by redeeming units.  For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, contract maintenance charges were assessed in the amount of $2,870,556 and $6,719,734, respectively.

Transfer Charge

A transfer charge of $25 will apply to transfers made by contract holders between the portfolios in excess of 15 transfers in a contract year.  Jackson may waive the transfer charge in connection with pre-authorized automatic transfer programs, or in those states where a lesser charge is required.  This charge will be deducted from the amount transferred prior to the allocation to a different portfolio.  For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, transfer charges were assessed in the amount of $21,848 and $57,988, respectively.

Surrender or Contingent Deferred Sales Charge

During the first three to nine contract years, certain contracts include a provision for a charge upon the surrender or partial surrender of the contract.  The amount assessed under the contract terms, if any, depends upon the cost associated with distributing the particular contracts.  The amount, if any, is determined based on a number of factors, including the amount withdrawn, the contract year of surrender, or the number and amount of withdrawals in a calendar year.  The surrender charges are assessed by Jackson and withheld from the proceeds of the withdrawals.   For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, surrender charges were assessed in the amount of $37,748,144 and $31,960,116, respectively.

Optional Benefit Charges

Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit Charge.  If this benefit has been selected, Jackson will assess an annual charge of 0.40% - 0.87%, depending on the product, of the Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit (GMIB) base.   The charge will be deducted each calendar quarter from the contract value by redeeming units.

Guaranteed Minimum Accumulation Benefit Charge.  If this benefit has been selected, Jackson will assess an annual charge of 1.00% - 1.02% of the Guaranteed Value (GV).  The charge will be deducted each calendar quarter from the contract value by redeeming units.

Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit Charge.  If this benefit has been selected, Jackson will assess an annual charge of 0.50% - 3.00%, depending on the product, of the Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance (GWB).  The charge will be deducted each calendar quarter from the contract value by redeeming units.

Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit Charge.  If any of the optional death benefits are selected that are available under the Contract, Jackson will assess an annual charge of 0.60% - 1.80%, depending on product, of the Death Benefit base.  The charge will be deducted each contract quarter from the contract value by redeeming units.

Notes to Financial Statements
 
Note 3 – Policy Charges (continued)

Asset-based Charges

Insurance Charges

Jackson deducts a daily charge for administrative expenses from the net assets of the Separate Account equivalent to an annual rate of 0.15%.  In designated products, this expense is waived for initial contributions greater than $1 million, refer to the product prospectus for eligibility.  The administration charge is designed to reimburse Jackson for expenses incurred in administering the Separate Account and its contracts and is assessed through the unit value calculation.

Jackson deducts a daily base contract charge from the net assets of the Separate Account equivalent to an annual rate of 0.15% to 1.65% for the assumption of mortality and expense risks.  The mortality risk assumed by Jackson is that the insured may receive benefits greater than those anticipated by Jackson.  The expense risk assumed by Jackson is that the actual cost of administering the contracts of the Separate Account may exceed the amount received from the Administration Charge and the Contract Maintenance Charge.

Optional Benefit Charges

Earnings Protection Benefit Charge.  If this benefit option has been selected, Jackson will make an additional deduction of 0.20% - 0.45%, depending on the product chosen, on an annual basis of the average daily net asset value of the contract owner’s allocations to the portfolios.

Contract Enhancement Charge.  If one of the contract enhancement benefits is selected, then for a period of five to nine contract years, Jackson will make an additional deduction based upon the average daily net asset value of the contract owner’s allocations to the portfolios.  The amounts of these charges depend upon the contract enhancements selected and range from 0.395% to 0.832%.

Withdrawal Charge Period.  If the optional three, four, or five-year withdrawal charge period feature is selected, Jackson will deduct 0.45%, 0.40%, or 0.30%, respectively, on an annual basis of the average daily net asset value of the contract owner’s allocations to the portfolios.

20% Additional Free Withdrawal Charge.  If a contract owner selects the optional feature that permits you to withdraw up to 20% of premiums that are still subject to a withdrawal charge minus earnings during a Contract year without withdrawal charge, Jackson will deduct 0.30% - 0.40% on an annual basis of the average daily net assets value of the contract owner’s allocations to the portfolios.

Optional Death Benefit Charges.  If any of the optional death benefits are selected that are available under the Contract, Jackson will make an additional deduction of 0.15% - 0.80% on an annual basis of the average daily net asset value of the contract owner’s allocations to the portfolios, based on the optional death benefit selected.

Premium Taxes

Some states and other governmental entities charge premium taxes or other similar taxes.  Jackson pays these taxes and may make a deduction from the value of the contract for them.  Premium taxes generally range from 0% to 3.5% depending on the state.

*     Total return for period indicated, including changes in the value of the underlying fund, and reflects deductions for all items included in the expense ratio.  The total return does not include any expenses assessed through the redemption of units, inclusion of these expenses in the calculation would result in a reduction in the total return presented.  Total return for portfolios with no investment activity at period end is calculated based on the total return of the underlying mutual fund less expenses that are charged directly to the Separate Account.
**   Annualized contract expenses of the Separate Account, consisting primarily of mortality and expense charges, for each period indicated.  The ratios include only those expenses that result in a direct reduction to unit values. Charges made directly to contract owner accounts through the redemption of units and expenses of the underlying funds are excluded.
*** Total return is calculated from the effective date through the end of the reporting period. The effective date is the date when the optional benefit in the variable account was elected by a contract owner.

Independent Auditors’ Report
 

To the Board of Directors of Jackson National Life Insurance Company and
Contract Owners of Jackson National Separate Account I:

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of each of the sub-accounts within Jackson National Separate Account I (Separate Account) as set forth herein as of December 31, 2011, and the related statements of operations for the year or period then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years or periods in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five-year period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Separate Account’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2011, by correspondence with the transfer agent of the underlying mutual fund and other appropriate audit procedures. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each sub-account within Jackson National Separate Account I as set forth herein as of December 31, 2011, the results of their operations for the year or period then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the years or periods in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.  In 2011, Jackson adopted a revised presentation of the balance sheet and income statement, with prior year amounts being reclassified to conform with the current year presentation with no impact on stockholder’s equity or net income.  In conjunction with this change, the Company has reclassified its previously reported risk management activity into other investment gains (losses) and net investment income, which is further detailed in Note 5.  In addition, the Company made a correction for an immaterial error in 2009 resulting in a reclassification of $687.0 million, increasing revenues and expenses, with no impact on net income, relating to the classification of certain guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit reserves.

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the accompanying notes.  Significant estimates or assumptions, as further discussed in the notes, include: 1) valuation of investments and derivative instruments, including fair values of securities deemed to be in an illiquid market and the determination of when an impairment is other-than-temporary; 2) assessments as to whether certain entities are variable interest entities, the existence of reconsideration events and the determination of which party, if any, should consolidate the entity; 3) assumptions impacting future gross profits, including lapse and mortality rates, expenses, investment returns and policy crediting rates, used in the calculation of amortization of deferred acquisition costs and deferred sales inducements; 4) assumptions used in calculating policy reserves and liabilities, including lapse and mortality rates, expenses and investment returns; 5) assumptions as to future earnings levels being sufficient to realize deferred tax benefits; 6) estimates related to establishment of loan loss reserves, liabilities for lawsuits and the liability for state guaranty fund assessments; 7) assumptions and estimates associated with the Company’s tax positions which impact the amount of recognized tax benefits recorded by the Company; and, 8) the value of guarantee obligations.  These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s best estimates and judgments.  Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors deemed appropriate.  As facts and circumstances dictate, these estimates and assumptions may be adjusted.  Since future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates.  Changes in estimates, including those resulting from continuing changes in the economic environment, will be reflected in the financial statements in the periods the estimates are changed.

Changes in Accounting Principles – Adopted in Current Year
In April 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-02, “A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring.”  This guidance clarifies which loan modifications constitute troubled debt restructurings.  It is intended to assist creditors in determining whether a modification of the terms of a receivable meets the criteria to be considered a troubled debt restructuring, both for purposes of recording an impairment loss and for disclosure of troubled debt restructurings.  The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2011 and has included the required disclosures herein.

In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-03, “Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements,” which revises the criteria for asseessing effective control for repurchase agreements and other agreements that both entitle and obligate a transferor to repurchase or redeem financial assets before their maturity.  The determination of whether the transfer of a financial asset subject to a repurchase agreement is a sale is based, in part, on whether the entity maintains effective control over the financial asset.  This guidance removes from the assessment of effective control the criterion requiring the transferor to have the ability to repurchase or redeem the financial assets on substantially the agreed terms, even in the event of a default by the transferee and also the collateral maintenance implementation guidance related to that criterion.  The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2011 with no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In July 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-20, “Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses,” which requires significant new disclosures about the allowance for credit losses and the credit quality of financing receivables.  The Company adopted the disclosure requirements effective January 1, 2011 and has included the required disclosures herein.

In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-15, “How Investments Held through Separate Accounts Affect an Insurer’s Consolidation Analysis of Those Investments.” This guidance clarifies that an insurance entity should not consider any separate account interests held for the benefit of policyholders in an investment to be the insurer’s interests and should not combine those interests with its general account interest in the same investment when assessing the investment for consolidation, unless the separate account interests are held for the benefit of a related policyholder, as defined in the Variable Interest Entities Subsections of Subtopic 810-10 and those Subsections require the consideration of related parties.  This accounting guidance was effective on January 1, 2011 and had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements,” which requires additional disclosures related to transfers between Levels 1 and 2 and for fair value measurement activity in Level 3.  Additional information to be provided includes purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis.  This ASU also clarifies certain other existing disclosure requirements including the level of disaggregation and disclosures around inputs and valuation techniques.  The accounting guidance for new disclosures and clarification of existing disclosures was effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2009 and were included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2010.  The additional disclosures related to activity in Level 3 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and are included herein.

Changes in Accounting Principles – Adopted in Prior Years
On January 1, 2010, the Company adopted ASU No. 2009-16, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets.”  This accounting guidance amends the current guidance on transfers of financial assets by eliminating the qualifying special-purpose entity (“QSPE”) concept, providing certain conditions that must be met to qualify for sale accounting, changing the amount of gain or loss recognized on certain transfers and requiring additional disclosures.

On January 1, 2010, the Company adopted ASU No. 2010-10, “Amendment for Certain Investment Funds,” which provides accounting guidance for determining which enterprise, if any, has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and requires additional disclosures regarding a company’s involvement in VIEs.  The adoption of ASU 2010-10 and ASU 2009-16 occurred simultaneously, requiring the consolidation of entities formerly considered to be QSPEs and decreasing retained earnings by $40.2 million.  Additional details on the application of this change in accounting principles are included in Note 4.

Changes in Accounting Principles – Not Yet Adopted
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11, “Balance Sheet: Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities,” which requires an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements.  This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after January 1, 2013.  The new disclosures are required to be applied retrospectively for all comparative periods presented.  The Company will adopt this guidance effective January 1, 2013 and include all applicable disclosures.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income,” with an objective of increasing the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income (“OCI”).  This guidance provides entities with the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of OCI either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements.    This guidance is applicable retrospectively and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011.  Early adoption is permitted.  The Company will adopt this guidance effective January 1, 2012 and is currently evaluating options for the presentation of comprehensive income upon adoption.

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards,” which was issued to create a consistent framework for the application of fair value measurement across jurisdictions.  The amendments include wording changes to GAAP in order to clarify the FASB’s intent about the application of existing fair value measurements and disclosure requirements, as well as to change a particular principle or existing requirement for measuring fair value or disclosing information about fair value measurements.  This new guidance is not expected to change which assets and liabilities are to be carried at fair value.  This guidance is applicable prospectively and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011.  Early adoption is prohibited.  The Company will adopt this guidance effective January 1, 2012 and has not yet determined the impact it will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

In October 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-26, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Acquiring or Renewing Insurance Contracts.” This guidance clarifies which costs related to the acquisition or renewal of insurance contracts can be deferred by insurance entities.  The guidance also specifies that only costs directly related to the successful acquisition of new or renewal contracts can be capitalized.  All other acquisition related costs should be expensed as incurred.

Jackson will adopt this accounting guidance effective January 1, 2012 on a retrospective basis with restatement of all years presented and a cumulative effect adjustment to opening equity balance at January 1, 2010.  Jackson estimates the restatement will reduce deferred acquisition costs by approximately $991.9 million and reduce stockholder’s equity by approximately $641.6 million, net of tax, at January 1, 2010.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Comprehensive income (loss) includes all changes in stockholder’s equity (except those arising from transactions with owners/stockholders) and, in the Company’s case, includes net income (loss) and net unrealized gains or losses on available for sale securities.

Investments
Fixed maturities consist primarily of bonds, notes, redeemable preferred stocks and asset-backed securities. Acquisition discounts and premiums on fixed maturities are amortized into investment income through call or maturity dates using the effective interest method.  Discounts and premiums on asset-backed securities are amortized over the estimated redemption period.  Certain asset-backed securities are considered to be other than high quality or otherwise deemed to be high-risk, meaning the Company might not recover substantially all of its recorded investment due to unanticipated prepayment events.  For these securities, changes in investment yields due to changes in estimated future cash flows are accounted for on a prospective basis.  The carrying value of such securities was $840.7 million and $878.5 million as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Fixed maturities are generally classified as available for sale and are carried at fair value.  For declines in fair value considered to be other-than-temporary, an impairment charge reflecting the difference between the amortized cost basis and fair value is included in net realized losses on investments.  If management believes the Company does not intend to sell the security and will not more likely than not be required to sell the security prior to recovery of its amortized cost basis, an amount representing the non-credit related portion of a loss is reclassified out of net realized losses on investments and into other comprehensive income.  In determining whether an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred, and in calculating the non-credit related component of the total impairment loss, the Company considers a number of factors, which are further detailed in Note 4.

During 2009, the Company transferred the remainder of its equity holdings from available for sale to a trading portfolio and recognized a loss of $87.5 million.  At December 31, 2011 and 2010, all equity holdings were classified as trading.  Trading securities are carried at fair value with changes in value included in net investment income.

Commercial mortgage loans are carried at aggregate unpaid principal balances, net of unamortized discounts and premiums, and impairments including any allowance for loan losses.

On a periodic basis, Jackson assesses the commercial mortgage loan portfolio for the need for an allowance for loan losses. In determining its allowance for losses, the Company evaluates each loan to determine if it is probable that amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement will not be collected. The allowance includes loan specific reserves for loans that are determined to be non-performing as a result of its loan review process, and a portfolio reserve for probable incurred but not specifically identified losses for loans which do not carry loan specific reserves. The loan specific portion of the loss allowance is based on the Company’s assessment as to ultimate collectability of loan principal and interest. This review contemplates a variety of factors which may include, but are not limited to, current economic conditions, the physical condition of the property, the financial condition of the borrower, and the near and long-term prospects for change in these conditions.  In determining the portfolio reserve for incurred but not specifically identified losses, Jackson considers the current credit composition of the portfolio based on the results of our loan modeling analysis, which considers property type, default statistics, historical losses and other relevant factors to determine probability of default and other default loss estimates.  Model assumptions are updated each quarter and, based upon our actual loan experience, are considered together with other relevant qualitative factors in making the final portfolio reserve calculations.  The valuation allowance for commercial mortgage loans can increase or decrease from period to period based on these factors.  Changes in the allowance for loan losses are recorded in investment income.

Separately, Jackson also reviews individual loans in the portfolio for impairment based on an assessment of the factors identified above.  Impairment charges recognized are recorded initially against the established loan loss allowance and, if necessary, any additional amounts are recorded as realized losses. As deemed necessary based on cash flow expectations and other factors, Jackson may place loans on non-accrual status.  In this case, all cash received is applied against the carrying value of the loan.

Policy loans are carried at the unpaid principal balances.

Other invested assets primarily include investments in limited partnerships and real estate.  Carrying values for limited partnership investments are determined by using the proportion of Jackson’s investment in each fund (NAV equivalent) as a practical expedient for fair value.  Real estate is carried at the lower of depreciated cost or fair value.

The Company holds interests in VIEs that represent primary beneficial interests.  These consolidated VIEs include entities structured to hold and manage investments.

Realized gains and losses on sales of investments are recognized in income at the date of sale and are determined using the specific cost identification method.

The changes in unrealized gains and losses on certain investments which are classified as available for sale, net of tax and the effect of the adjustment for deferred acquisition costs and deferred sales inducements, and the non-credit related portion of other-than-temporary impairment charges are excluded from net income and included as a component of other comprehensive income and total equity.  The changes in unrealized gains and losses on investments for which Jackson elected the fair value option are included in net income along with the related adjustment for deferred acquisition costs, deferred sales inducements and income taxes.

Derivative Instruments and Embedded Derivatives
The Company enters into financial derivative transactions, including, but not limited to, swaps, put-swaptions, futures and options to reduce and manage business risks.  These transactions manage the risk of a change in the value, yield, price, cash flows, credit quality or degree of exposure with respect to assets, liabilities or future cash flows which the Company has acquired or incurred.  The Company manages the potential credit exposure for over-the-counter derivative contracts through careful evaluation of the counterparty credit standing, collateral agreements, and master netting agreements.  The Company is exposed to credit-related losses in the event of nonperformance by counterparties, however, it does not anticipate nonperformance.  There were no charges due to nonperformance by derivative counterparties in 2011, 2010 or 2009.

The Company generally uses freestanding derivative instruments for hedging purposes.  Additionally, certain liabilities, primarily trust instruments supported by funding agreements, index linked annuities and guarantees offered in connection with variable annuities issued by the Company, contain embedded derivative instruments.  Further details regarding Jackson’s derivative positions are included in Note 5.  The Company generally does not account for freestanding derivatives as either fair value or cash flow hedges as might be permitted if specific hedging documentation requirements were followed.  Financial derivatives, including derivatives embedded in certain host liabilities that have been separated for accounting and financial reporting purposes, are carried at fair value.  The results from derivative financial instruments and embedded derivatives, including net payments, realized gains and losses and changes in value, are reported in net income.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents, which primarily include high quality, non-asset-backed commercial paper, money market instruments and deposits in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis (“FHLBI”), are carried at cost or amortized cost.  These investments have original maturities of three months or less and are considered cash equivalents for reporting cash flows.

Deferred Acquisition Costs
Certain costs of acquiring new business, principally commissions and certain costs associated with policy issuance and underwriting, which vary with and are primarily related to the production of new business, are capitalized as deferred acquisition costs.  Deferred acquisition costs are increased by interest thereon and amortized into income in proportion to anticipated premium revenues for traditional life policies and in proportion to estimated gross profits, including realized capital gains and losses and derivative movements, for annuities and interest-sensitive life products.  Due to volatility of certain factors, including realized capital gains and losses and derivative movements, amortization may be a benefit or a charge in any given period.  In the event of negative amortization, the related deferred acquisition cost balance is capped at the initial amount capitalized, plus interest.  Unamortized deferred acquisition costs are written off when a contract is internally replaced and substantially changed.  A review of assumptions used for estimating future gross profits underlying the amortization of deferred acquisition costs is conducted on an annual basis.  Based on results of the annual review, the deferred acquisition cost balance is adjusted, with an offsetting credit or charge to amortization expense.

As certain fixed maturities available for sale are carried at fair value, an adjustment is made to deferred acquisition costs equal to the change in amortization that would have occurred if such securities had been sold at their stated fair value and the proceeds reinvested at current yields.  This adjustment, along with the change in fair value of fixed maturities available for sale, net of applicable tax, is credited or charged directly to stockholder’s equity as a component of other comprehensive income.  Deferred acquisition costs have been decreased by $1,062.7 million and $598.5 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, to reflect this adjustment.

For variable annuity business, the Company employs a mean reversion methodology that is applied with the objective of adjusting the amortization of deferred acquisition costs that would otherwise be highly volatile due to fluctuations in the level of future gross profits arising from changes in equity market levels.  The mean reversion methodology achieves this objective by applying a dynamic adjustment to the level of expectations of short-term future investment returns.  Under the methodology, the projected returns for the next five years are set such that, when combined with the actual returns for the current and preceding two years, the average rate of return over the eight year period is 8.4%, after investment management fees.  The mean reversion methodology does, however, include a cap and a floor of 15% and 0% per annum, respectively, on the projected return for each of the next five years.  Projected returns after the next five years are set at 8.4%.  At December 31, 2010,  future projected returns were capped at the 15% level.  By December 31, 2011, projected returns under mean reversion had fallen and were below the 15% cap.

Deferred acquisition costs are reviewed periodically to ensure that the unamortized portion does not exceed the expected recoverable amounts.  Any amount deemed unrecoverable would be written off with a charge through deferred acquisition costs amortization.  No such write-offs were required for 2011, 2010 and 2009.

Deferred Sales Inducements
Bonus interest on deferred fixed annuities and contract enhancements on index linked annuities and variable annuities are capitalized as deferred sales inducements and included in other assets.  Deferred sales inducements are increased by interest thereon and amortized into income in proportion to estimated gross profits, including realized capital gains and losses and derivative movements.  Due to volatility of certain factors, including realized capital gains and losses and derivative movements, amortization may be a benefit or a charge in any given period.  In the event of negative amortization, the related deferred sales inducements balance is capped at the initial amount capitalized, plus interest.  Unamortized deferred sales inducements are written off when a contract is internally replaced and substantially changed.  A review of assumptions used for estimating future gross profits underlying the amortization of deferred sales inducements is conducted on an annual basis.  Based on results of the annual review, the deferred sales inducement balance is adjusted, with an offsetting credit or charge to amortization expense.

As certain fixed maturities available for sale are carried at fair value, an adjustment is made to deferred sales inducements equal to the change in amortization that would have occurred if such securities had been sold at their stated fair value and the proceeds reinvested at current yields.  This adjustment, along with the change in fair value of fixed maturities available for sale, net of applicable tax, is credited or charged directly to stockholder’s equity as a component of other comprehensive income.  Deferred sales inducements have been decreased by $147.6 million and $82.2 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, to reflect this adjustment.

For variable annuity business, the Company employs the same mean reversion methodology as is employed for deferred acquisition costs as described above.

Deferred sales inducements are reviewed periodically to ensure that the unamortized portion does not exceed the expected recoverable amounts.  Any amount deemed unrecoverable would be written off with a charge through deferred sales inducements amortization.  No such write-offs were required for 2011, 2010 and 2009.

Actuarial Assumption Changes (Unlocking)
Annually, or as circumstances warrant, the Company conducts a comprehensive review of the assumptions used for its estimates of future gross profits underlying the amortization of deferred acquisition costs and deferred sales inducements, as well as the valuation of the embedded derivatives and reserves for life insurance and annuity products with living benefit and death benefit guarantees.  These assumptions include investment margins, mortality, persistency, rider utilization and policy maintenance expenses.  Based on this review, the cumulative balances of deferred acquisition costs, deferred sales inducements and life and annuity reserves are adjusted with an offsetting benefit or charge to net income.   

Reinsurance
The Company enters into assumed and ceded reinsurance agreements with other companies in the normal course of business.  Reinsurance agreements are reported on a gross basis on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as an asset for amounts recoverable from reinsurers or as a component of other assets or liabilities for amounts, such as premiums, owed to or from reinsurers.  Reinsurance assumed and ceded premiums and benefits paid or provided are accounted for on bases consistent with those used in accounting for the original policies issued and the terms of the reinsurance contracts.  Premiums and benefits are reported net of insurance assumed and ceded.

Income Taxes
The Company files income tax returns with the U.S. federal government and various state and local jurisdictions, as well as certain foreign jurisdictions.  The Company is generally no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2007.
 
Jackson files a consolidated federal income tax return with Brooke Life and Jackson National Life Insurance Company of New York. Jackson National Life (Bermuda) LTD is taxed as a controlled foreign corporation of Jackson.  All other subsidiaries are limited liability companies with all of their interests owned by Jackson.  Accordingly, they are not considered separate entities for income tax purposes and, therefore, are taxed as part of the operations of Jackson.  Income tax expense is calculated on a separate company basis.

Deferred federal income taxes arise from the recognition of temporary differences between the basis of assets and liabilities determined for financial reporting purposes and the basis determined for income tax purposes.  Such temporary differences are principally related to the effects of recording certain invested assets at fair value, the deferral of policy acquisition costs and sales inducements and the provisions for policy reserves and other insurance items.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the tax rates expected to be in effect when such benefits are realized.  In accordance with GAAP, Jackson is required to test the value of deferred tax assets for realizability.  Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available positive and negative evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  In determining the need for a valuation allowance, the Company considers the carryback capacity of losses, reversal of existing temporary differences, estimated future taxable income and tax planning strategies.

The determination of the valuation allowance for Jackson’s deferred tax assets requires management to make certain judgments and assumptions regarding future operations that are based on historical experience and expectations of future performance.  In order to recognize a tax benefit in the consolidated financial statements, there must be a greater than fifty percent chance of success with the relevant taxing authority with regard to that tax position.  Management’s judgments are potentially subject to change given the inherent uncertainty in predicting future performance, which is impacted by such factors as policyholder behavior, competitor pricing and other specific industry and market conditions.

The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of tax expense.

Reserves for Future Policy Benefits and Claims Payable
For traditional life insurance contracts, reserves for future policy benefits are determined using the net level premium method and assumptions as of the issue date or acquisition date as to mortality, interest, persistency and expenses plus provisions for adverse deviations.  Mortality assumptions range from 25% to 160% of the 1975-1980 Basic Select and Ultimate tables depending on policy duration.  Interest rate assumptions range from 3.5% to 6.0%.  Lapse and expense assumptions are based on Company experience.  See Note 7 for a description of general account reserves related to variable annuity guarantees.

For the Company’s interest-sensitive life contracts, liabilities approximate the policyholder’s account value.  For deferred annuities, the fixed option on variable annuities, guaranteed investment contracts and other investment contracts, the liability is the policyholder’s account value.  The liability for index linked annuities is based on two components, 1) the imputed value of the underlying guaranteed host contract, and 2) the fair value of the embedded option component of the contract.  At December 31, 2011, the Company had interest sensitive life business in force with total account value of $4.5 billion, with minimum guaranteed interest rates ranging from 3.0% to 6.0%, with a 4.93% average guaranteed rate and fixed interest rate annuities of $26.2 billion of account value with minimum guaranteed rates ranging from 1.0% to 5.5% and a 2.83% average guaranteed rate.

Jackson and Jackson National Life Funding, LLC have a European Medium Term Note program, with up to $7 billion in aggregate principal amount outstanding at any one time.  Jackson National Life Funding, LLC was formed as a special purpose vehicle solely for the purpose of issuing Medium Term Note instruments to institutional investors, the proceeds of which are deposited with Jackson and secured by the issuance of funding agreements.  Carrying values totaled $0.7 billion and $1.0 billion at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Jackson and Jackson National Life Global Funding have a $10.8 billion aggregate Global Medium Term Note program.  Jackson National Life Global Funding was formed as a statutory business trust, solely for the purpose of issuing Medium Term Note instruments to institutional investors, the proceeds of which are deposited with Jackson and secured by the issuance of funding agreements.  The carrying values at December 31, 2011 and 2010 totaled $1.0 billion and $1.2 billion, respectively.

Those Medium Term Note instruments issued in a foreign currency have been economically hedged for changes in exchange rates using cross-currency swaps.  The fair value of derivatives embedded in funding agreements, as well as unrealized foreign currency transaction gains and losses, are included in the carrying value of the trust instruments supported by funding agreements.

Trust instrument liabilities are adjusted to reflect the effects of foreign currency transaction gains and losses using exchange rates as of the reporting date.  Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in other investment gains (losses).

Jackson and Squire Re are members of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis (“FHLBI”) primarily for the purpose of participating in its mortgage-collateralized loan advance program with short-term and long-term funding facilities.  Membership requires the Company to purchase and hold a minimum amount of FHLBI capital stock plus additional stock based on outstanding advances.  Advances are in the form of short-term or long-term notes or funding agreements issued to FHLBI.  At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company held $107.0 million and $112.1 million, respectively, of FHLBI capital stock, supporting $1.8 billion each period end in funding agreements, short-term and long-term borrowing capacity.

Contingent Liabilities
The Company is a party to legal actions and, at times, regulatory investigations.  Given the inherent unpredictability of these matters, it is difficult to estimate their impact on the Company’s financial position.  Amounts related to contingent liabilities are established if it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount is reasonably estimable.  It is possible that an adverse outcome in certain of the Company’s contingent liabilities, or the use of different assumptions in the determination of amounts recorded, could have a material effect upon the Company’s financial position.  However, it is the opinion of management that the ultimate disposition of contingent liabilities will not have a material adverse affect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

Separate Account Assets and Liabilities
The Company maintains separate account assets, which are reported at fair value.  The related liabilities are reported at an amount equivalent to the separate account assets.  At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the separate account assets and liabilities associated with variable life and annuity contracts, aggregated $58.8 billion and $48.9 billion, respectively.  Investment risks associated with market value changes are borne by the contract holders, except to the extent of minimum guarantees made by the Company.  Refer to Note 7 for additional information regarding the Company’s contractual guarantees.  Separate account net investment income, net investment realized and unrealized gains and losses, and the related liability changes are offset within the same line item in the consolidated income statements. Amounts assessed against the contract holders for mortality, administrative, and other services are reported in revenue. 

Additionally, the Company has issued a group variable annuity contract designed for use in connection with and issued to the Company’s Defined Contribution Retirement Plan.  These deposits are allocated to the Jackson National Separate Account - II and aggregated $185.7 million and $176.6 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  The Company receives administrative fees for managing the funds.  These fees are recorded as earned and included in fee income in the consolidated income statements.

Debt
Liabilities for the Company’s debt are primarily carried at an amount equal to the unpaid principal balance.  Original issuance discount or premium and any debt issue costs, if applicable, are recognized as a component of interest expense over the period the debt is expected to be outstanding.  Refer to Note 8 for further information regarding the Company’s debt. 

Revenue and Expense Recognition
Premiums for traditional life insurance are reported as revenues when due.  Benefits, claims and expenses are associated with earned revenues in order to recognize profit over the lives of the contracts.  This association is accomplished through provisions for future policy benefits and the deferral and amortization of acquisition costs.

Deposits on interest-sensitive life products and investment contracts, principally deferred annuities and guaranteed investment contracts, are treated as policyholder deposits and excluded from revenue.  Revenues consist primarily of investment income and charges assessed against the policyholder’s account value for mortality charges, surrenders, variable annuity benefit guarantees and administrative expenses.  Fee income also includes revenues related to asset management fees and 12b-1 service fees.  Surrender benefits are treated as repayments of the policyholder account.  Annuity benefit payments are treated as reductions to the policyholder account.  Death benefits in excess of the policyholder account are recognized as an expense when incurred.  Expenses consist primarily of the interest credited to policyholder deposits.  Underwriting and other acquisition expenses are associated with gross profit in order to recognize profit over the life of the business.  This is accomplished through deferral and amortization of acquisition costs and sales inducements.  Expenses not related to policy acquisition are recognized when incurred.

Investment income is not accrued on securities in default and otherwise where the collection is uncertain.  Receipts of interest on such securities are generally used to reduce the cost basis of the securities.

Jackson has terminated, at the customers’ requests, a number of Medium Term Note contracts at discounted rates.  The income on these early terminations, totaling $2.5 million and $16.8 million in 2010 and 2009, respectively, was included in other income.  There were no early terminations in 2011.

Fair value measurements are based upon observable and unobservable inputs.  Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s view of market assumptions in the absence of observable market information.  Jackson utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.  All assets and liabilities measured at fair value are required to be classified into one of the following categories:

 
Level 1
Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.  Level 1 securities include U.S. Treasury securities and exchange traded equity and derivative instruments.

 
Level 2
Observable inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, for the asset or liability or prices for similar assets and liabilities.  Most fixed maturity securities that are model priced using observable inputs are classified within Level 2.  Also included are freestanding and embedded derivative instruments that are priced using models with observable market inputs.

 
Level 3
Valuations that are derived from techniques in which one or more of the significant inputs are unobservable (including assumptions about risk). Limited partnership interests and those embedded derivative instruments that are valued using unobservable inputs are included in Level 3.  Because Level 3 fair values, by their nature, contain unobservable market inputs, considerable judgment may be used to determine the Level 3 fair values. Level 3 fair values represent the Company’s best estimate of an amount that could be realized in a current market exchange absent actual market exchanges.

In many situations, inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or liability may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In these situations, the Company will determine the level in which the fair value falls based upon the lowest level input that is significant to the determination of the fair value. As a result, both observable and unobservable inputs may be used in the determination of fair values that the Company has classified within Level 3.

The Company determines the fair values of certain financial assets and liabilities based on quoted market prices, where available. The Company may also determine fair value based on estimated future cash flows discounted at the appropriate current market rate. When appropriate, fair values reflect adjustments for counterparty credit quality, the Company’s credit standing, liquidity and risk margins on unobservable inputs.

Where quoted market prices are not available, fair value estimates are made at a point in time, based on relevant market data, as well as the best information about the individual financial instrument.  At times, illiquid market conditions may result in inactive markets for certain of the Company’s financial instruments.  In such instances, there is generally no or limited observable market data for these assets and liabilities.  Fair value estimates for financial instruments deemed to be in an illiquid market are based on judgments regarding current economic conditions, liquidity discounts, currency, credit and interest rate risks, loss experience and other factors.  These fair values are estimates and involve considerable uncertainty and variability as a result of the inputs selected and may differ materially from the values that would have been used had an active market existed.  As a result of market inactivity, such calculated fair value estimates may not be realizable in an immediate sale or settlement of the instrument.  In addition, changes in the underlying assumptions used in the fair value measurement technique could significantly affect these fair value estimates.

The following is a discussion of the methodologies used to determine fair values of the financial instruments listed in the above table.

Fixed Maturity and Trading Securities
The fair values for fixed maturity and trading securities are determined by management using information available from independent pricing services, broker-dealer quotes, or internally derived estimates. Priority is given to publicly available prices from independent sources, when available.  Securities for which the independent pricing service does not provide a quotation are either submitted to independent broker-dealers for prices or priced internally.  Typical inputs used by these three pricing methods include, but are not limited to, reported trades, benchmark yields, credit spreads, liquidity premiums, and/or estimated cash flows based on default and prepayment assumptions.

As a result of typical trading volumes and the lack of specific quoted market prices for most fixed maturities, independent pricing services will normally derive the security prices through recently reported trades for identical or similar securities, making adjustments through the reporting date based upon available market observable information as outlined above. If there are no recently reported trades, the independent pricing services and brokers may use matrix or pricing model processes to develop a security price where future cash flow expectations are developed based upon collateral performance and discounted at relevant market rates.  Certain securities are priced using broker-dealer quotes, which may utilize proprietary inputs and models. Additionally, the majority of these quotes are non-binding.

Included in the pricing of asset-backed securities are estimates of the rate of future prepayments of principal over the remaining life of the securities. Such estimates are derived based on the characteristics of the underlying structure and prepayment assumptions believed to be relevant for the underlying collateral.  Actual prepayment experience may vary from these estimates.

Internally derived estimates may be used to develop a fair value for securities for which the Company is unable to obtain either a reliable price from an independent pricing service or a suitable broker-dealer quote. These estimates may incorporate Level 2 and Level 3 inputs and are generally derived using expected future cash flows, discounted at market interest rates available from market sources based on the credit quality and duration of the instrument to determine fair value.  For securities that may not be reliably priced using these internally developed pricing models, a fair value may be estimated using indicative market prices.  These prices are indicative of an exit price, but the assumptions used to establish the fair value may not be observable or corroborated by market observable information and, therefore, are considered to be Level 3 inputs.

The Company performs a monthly analysis on the prices and credit spreads received from third parties to ensure that the prices represent a reasonable estimate of the fair value.  This process involves quantitative and qualitative analysis and is overseen by investment and accounting professionals.  Examples of procedures performed include, but are not limited to, initial and on-going review of third party pricing service methodologies, review of pricing statistics and trends, back testing recent trades and monitoring of trading volumes.  In addition, the Company considers whether prices received from independent brokers represent a reasonable estimate of fair value through the use of internal and external cash flow models, which are developed based on spreads and, when available, market indices.  As a result of this analysis, if the Company determines there is a more appropriate fair value based upon the available market data, the price received from the third party may be adjusted accordingly.

For those securities that were internally valued at December 31, 2011 and 2010, an internally developed model was used to determine the fair value.  The pricing model used by the Company utilizes current spread levels of similarly rated securities to determine the  market discount rate for the security.  Furthermore, appropriate risk premiums for illiquidity and non-performance are incorporated in the discount rate.  Cash flows, as estimated by the Company using issuer-specific default statistics and prepayment assumptions, are discounted to determine an estimated fair value. 

On an ongoing basis, the Company reviews the independent pricing services’ valuation methodologies and related inputs, and evaluates the various types of securities in its investment portfolio to determine an appropriate fair value hierarchy distribution based upon trading activity and the observability of market inputs. Based on the results of this evaluation, each price is classified into Level 1, 2, or 3. Most prices provided by independent pricing services, including broker quotes, are classified into Level 2 due to their use of market observable inputs.

Commercial Mortgage Loans
Fair values are determined by discounting the future cash flows at current market interest rates.

Policy Loans
Fair values are determined using projected future cash flows, based on assumptions as to expected mortality and lapse rates, and discounted at the rate that would be required to transfer the asset to a willing third party.

Freestanding Derivative Instruments
Freestanding derivative instruments are reported at fair value, which reflects the estimated amounts, net of payment accruals, which the Company would receive or pay upon sale or termination of the contracts at the reporting date. Changes in fair value are included in other investment gains (losses).  Freestanding derivatives priced using third party pricing services incorporate inputs that are predominantly observable in the market. Inputs used to value derivatives include, but are not limited to, interest rate swap curves, credit spreads, interest rates, counterparty credit risk, equity volatility and equity index levels.

Freestanding derivative instruments classified as Level 1 include futures, which are traded on active exchanges.

Freestanding derivative instruments classified as Level 2 include interest rate swaps, cross currency swaps, credit default swaps, put swaptions and equity index call and put options. These derivative valuations are determined by third party pricing services using pricing models with inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.

Limited Partnerships
Fair value for limited partnership interests, which are included in other invested assets, is determined using the proportion of Jackson’s investment in each fund (NAV equivalent) as a practical expedient for fair value.  No adjustments to these amounts were deemed necessary at December 31, 2011 or 2010.

The Company’s limited partnership investments are not redeemable and distributions received are the result of liquidation of the underlying assets of the partnerships.  The term of Jackson’s interest in the partnerships is generally ten years, but may be extended for a period of time under provisions within the partnership agreements, if applicable.  The Company generally has the ability under the partnership agreements to sell its interest to another limited partner with the prior written consent of the general partner.  It is not probable and there is no instance, to date, where Jackson contemplated selling a limited partnership interest for an amount different from its NAV equivalent.

Other Loans
Fair values are determined by discounting the future cash flows at current market interest rates.

Separate Account Assets and Liabilities
Separate account assets are invested in mutual funds, which are categorized as Level 1 assets.  The value of separate account liabilities are set equal to the value of separate account assets under GAAP.

Annuity Reserves
Fair values for immediate annuities without mortality features are derived by discounting the future estimated cash flows using current market interest rates for similar maturities.  Fair values for deferred annuities, including index-linked annuities, are determined using projected future cash flows discounted at the rate that would be required to transfer the liability to a willing third party.

Other Contract Holder Funds
Fair values for guaranteed investment contracts are based on the present value of future cash flows discounted at current market interest rates.

Fair values for trust instruments supported by funding agreements are based on the present value of future cash flows discounted at current market interest rates, plus the fair value of any embedded derivatives that are not required to be reported separately.

Fair values of the FHLBI funding agreements are based on present value of future cash flows discounted at current market interest rates.

Debt
Carrying value of the short-term debt is considered a reasonable estimate for fair value due to their short-term maturity.  Fair values of other fixed interest rate debt are based on broker quotes or future cash flows discounted at current market interest rates.

Certain Guaranteed Benefits
Variable annuity contracts issued by the Company offer various guaranteed minimum death, withdrawal, income and accumulation benefits. Certain benefits, primarily non-life contingent guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefits (“GMWB”), guaranteed minimum accumulation benefits (“GMAB”) and the reinsured portion of the Company’s guaranteed minimum income benefits (“GMIB”), are recorded at fair value.  Guaranteed benefits that are not subject to fair value accounting are accounted for as insurance benefits.

Non-life contingent GMWBs and GMABs are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in other investment gains (losses). The fair value of the reserve is based on the expectations of future benefit payments and future fees associated with the benefits.  At the inception of the contract, the Company attributes to the derivative a portion of total fees collected from the contract holder, which is then held static in future valuations. Those fees, generally referred to as the attributed fees, are set such that the present value of the attributed fees is equal to the present value of future claims expected to be paid under the guaranteed benefit at the inception of the contract. In subsequent valuations, both the present value of future benefits and the present value of attributed fees are revalued based on current market conditions and policyholder behavior assumptions. The difference between each of the two components represents the fair value of the embedded derivative.  Jackson discontinued offering the GMAB in 2011.

Jackson’s GMIB book is reinsured through an unrelated party and, due to the net settlement provisions of the reinsurance agreement, this contract meets the definition of a freestanding derivative. Accordingly, the GMIB reinsurance agreement is recorded at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded in other investment gains (losses).  Due to the inability to economically reinsure or hedge new issues of the GMIB, the Company discontinued offering the benefit in 2009.

Fair values for GMWB and GMAB embedded derivatives, as well as GMIB reinsurance recoverables, are calculated using internally developed models because active, observable markets do not exist for those guaranteed benefits.

The fair value calculation is based on the present value of future cash flows comprised of future expected benefit payments, less future attributed rider fees, over the lives of the contracts.  Estimating these cash flows requires numerous estimates and subjective judgments related to capital market inputs, as well as actuarially determined assumptions related to expectations concerning policyholder behavior.   Capital market inputs include expected market rates of return, market volatility, correlations of market index returns to funds, fund performance and discount rates.  The more significant actuarial assumptions include benefit utilization by policyholders under varying conditions, persistency, mortality, and withdrawal rates.  Because of the dynamic and complex nature of these cash flows, best estimate assumptions, plus risk margins, and a stochastic process involving the generation of thousands of scenarios that assume risk neutral returns consistent with swap rates are used.
 
At each valuation date, the Company assumes expected returns based on LIBOR swap rates as of that date to determine the value of expected future cash flows produced in the stochastic process.  Volatility assumptions are based on a weighting of available market data for implied market volatility for durations up to 10 years, at which point the projected volatility is held constant.  Additionally, non-performance risk is incorporated into the calculation through the use of discount rates based on a AA corporate credit curve as an approximation of Jackson’s own credit risk.  Other risk margins, particularly for policyholder behavior, are also incorporated into the model through the use of best estimate assumptions, plus a risk margin. Estimates of future policyholder behavior are subjective and are based primarily on the Company’s experience.

As markets change, mature and evolve and actual policyholder behavior emerges, management continually evaluates the appropriateness of its assumptions for this component of the fair value model.

The use of the models and assumptions described above requires a significant amount of judgment.  Management believes the aggregation of each of these components results in an amount that the Company would be required to transfer for a liability, or receive for an asset, to or from a willing buyer or seller, if one existed, for those market participants to assume the risks associated with the guaranteed benefits and the related reinsurance. However, the ultimate settlement amount of the liability, which is currently unknown, could likely be significantly different than this fair value.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value Using Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
The tables below provide rollforwards for 2011 and 2010 of the financial instruments for which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) are used in the fair value measurement. Gains and losses in the table below include changes in fair value due partly to observable and unobservable factors. The Company utilizes derivative instruments to manage the risk associated with certain assets and liabilities. However, the derivative instruments hedging the related risks may not be classified within the same fair value hierarchy level as the associated assets and liabilities. Therefore, the impact of the derivative instruments reported in Level 3 below may vary significantly from the total income effect of the hedged instruments. Additionally, the Company’s policy for determining and disclosing transfers between levels is to recognize transfers using beginning of period balances.

Upon adoption of ASC 820-10, certain broker priced assets were classified as Level 3 holdings as a result of illiquidity in the market and the resultant lack of observability into the assumptions used to produce those fair values. During 2010, as a result of changes in the level of observability of these inputs, Jackson determined that these assets would be more appropriately categorized in Level 2. As a result, Jackson transferred securities with an amortized cost and fair value of $1,059.5 million and $775.3 million, respectively, and derivative assets with a fair value of $156.4 million from Level 3 to Level 2 during 2010. For the year ended December 31, 2011, Jackson transferred securities with an amortized cost and fair value of $9.3 million and $8.2 million, respectively, into Level 3 from Level 2 as a result of third party pricing not being available. There were no transfers between Level 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Investments

Investments are comprised primarily of fixed-income securities, primarily publicly traded industrial, utility and government bonds, asset-backed securities and commercial mortgage loans. Asset-backed securities include mortgage-backed and other structured securities. The Company generates the majority of its general account deposits from interest-sensitive individual annuity contracts, life insurance products and guaranteed investment contracts on which it has committed to pay a declared rate of interest. The Company's strategy of investing in fixed-income securities and loans aims to ensure matching of the asset yield with the amounts credited to the interest-sensitive liabilities and to earn a stable return on its investments.

Fixed Maturities
The following table sets forth fixed maturities at December 31, 2011, classified by rating categories as assigned by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (“NRSRO”), the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (“NAIC”), or if not rated by such organizations, the Company’s affiliated investment advisor. At December 31, 2011, the carrying value of investments rated by the Company’s affiliated investment advisor totaled $164.4 million. For purposes of the table, if not otherwise rated higher by a NRSRO, NAIC Class 1 investments are included in the A rating; Class 2 in BBB; Class 3 in BB and Classes 4 through 6 in B and below.

At December 31, 2011, based on ratings by NRSROs, of the total carrying value of fixed maturities in an unrealized loss position, 57% were investment grade, 33% were below investment grade and 10% were not rated. Unrealized losses on fixed maturities that were below investment grade or not rated represented approximately 65% of the aggregate gross unrealized losses on available for sale fixed maturities.

Corporate securities in an unrealized loss position were diversified across industries. As of December 31, 2011, the industries accounting for the larger percentage of unrealized losses included banking/finance (9.83% of fixed maturities gross unrealized losses) and telecommunications (1.42%). The largest unrealized loss related to a single corporate obligor was $26.5 million at December 31, 2011.

The amortized cost, gross unrealized gains and losses, fair value and non-credit OTTI of available for sale fixed maturities, including $126.7 million and $345.0 million in securities carried at fair value with changes in value recorded through the income statement during 2011 and 2010, respectively, were as follows (in thousands):

The Company defines its exposure to non-agency residential mortgage loans as follows. Prime loan-backed securities are collateralized by mortgage loans made to the highest rated borrowers. Alt-A loan-backed securities are collateralized by mortgage loans made to borrowers who lack credit documentation or necessary requirements to obtain prime borrower rates. Subprime loan-backed securities are collateralized by mortgage loans made to borrowers that have a FICO score of 680 or lower. 22% of the Company’s investments in Alt-A related mortgage-backed securities are rated investment grade by at least one NRSRO. 20% of the Company’s investments in subprime related mortgage-backed securities are rated triple-A by at least one NRSRO. In 2011, the Company recorded other-than-temporary impairment charges of $14.1 million, $20.2 million, and $4.5 million on securities backed by prime, Alt-A and subprime loans, respectively. In 2010, the Company recorded other-than-temporary impairment charges of $23.0 million, $50.5 million, and $11.4 million on securities backed by prime, Alt-A and subprime loans, respectively. In 2009, the Company recorded other-than-temporary impairment charges of $351.1 million, $241.0 million, and $19.0 million on securities backed by prime, Alt-A and subprime loans, respectively.

Asset-backed securities also include investments in securities which are collateralized by commercial mortgage loans (“CMBS”). At December 31, 2011, the amortized cost and fair value of the Company’s investment in CMBS was $3.1 billion and $3.3 billion, respectively, of which 99% were rated investment grade by at least one NRSRO. In 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded other-than-temporary impairment charges of $1.0 million and $11.1 million, respectively, on CMBS. No other-than-temporary impairment charges were recorded on CMBS during 2009.

Corporate securities include direct investments in below investment grade syndicated bank loans. Unlike most corporate debentures, syndicated bank loans are collateralized by specific tangible assets of the borrowers. As such, investors in these securities that become impaired have historically experienced less severe losses compared to corporate bonds. At December 31, 2011, the amortized cost and fair value of the Company’s direct investments in bank loans were $64.9 million and $63.8 million, respectively.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairments on Available For Sale Securities
The Company periodically reviews its available for sale fixed maturities on a case-by-case basis to determine if any decline in fair value to below cost or amortized cost is other-than-temporary. Factors considered in determining whether a decline is other-than-temporary include the length of time a security has been in an unrealized loss position, the severity of the unrealized loss and the reasons for the decline in value, and expectations for the amount and timing of a recovery in fair value.

Securities the Company determines are underperforming or potential problem securities are subject to regular review. To facilitate the review, securities with significant declines in value, or where other objective criteria evidencing credit deterioration have been met, are included on a watch list. Among the criteria for securities to be
included on a watch list are: credit deterioration that has led to a significant decline in fair value of the security; a significant covenant related to the security has been breached; or an issuer has filed or indicated a possibility of filing for bankruptcy, has missed or announced it intends to miss a scheduled interest or principal payment, or has experienced a specific material adverse change that may impair its creditworthiness.

In performing these reviews, the Company considers the relevant facts and circumstances relating to each investment and exercises considerable judgment in determining whether a security is other-than-temporarily impaired. Assessment factors include judgments about an obligor’s current and projected financial position, an issuer’s current and projected ability to service and repay its debt obligations, the existence of, and realizable value of, any collateral backing the obligations and the macro-economic and micro-economic outlooks for specific industries and issuers. This assessment may also involve assumptions regarding underlying collateral such as prepayment rates, default and recovery rates, and third-party servicing capabilities.
 
Among the specific factors considered are whether the decline in fair value results from a change in the credit quality of the security itself, or from a downward movement in the market as a whole, and the likelihood of recovering the carrying value based on the near-term prospects of the issuer. Unrealized losses that are considered to be primarily the result of market conditions (e.g., minor increases in interest rates, temporary market illiquidity or volatility, or industry-related events) are usually determined to be temporary, and where the Company also believes there exists a reasonable expectation for recovery in the near term. To the extent that factors contributing to impairment losses recognized affect other investments, such investments are also reviewed for other-than-temporary impairment and losses are recorded when appropriate.

In addition to the review procedures described above, investments in asset-backed securities where market prices are depressed are subject to a review of their future estimated cash flows, including expected and stress case scenarios, to identify potential shortfalls in contractual payments. These estimated cash flows are developed using available performance indicators from the underlying assets including current and projected default or delinquency rates, levels of credit enhancement, current subordination levels, vintage, expected loss severity and other relevant characteristics. These estimates reflect a combination of data derived by third parties and internally developed assumptions. Where possible, this data is benchmarked against third-party sources.

Even in the case of severely depressed market values on asset-backed securities, the Company places significant reliance on the results of its cash flow testing and its lack of an intent to sell these securities until their fair values recover when reaching other-than-temporary impairment conclusions with regard to these securities. Other-than-temporary impairment charges are recorded on asset-backed securities when the Company forecasts a contractual payment shortfall.

Jackson recognizes other-than-temporary impairments on debt securities in an unrealized loss position when any one of the following circumstances exists:

·
The Company does not expect full recovery of the amortized cost based on the discounted cash flows estimated to be collected;
·
The Company intends to sell a security; or,
·
It is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell a security prior to recovery.

For mortgage-backed securities, credit impairment is assessed using a cash flow model that estimates the cash flows on the underlying mortgages, using the security-specific collateral characteristics and transaction structure. The model estimates cash flows from the underlying mortgage loans and distributes those cash flows to various tranches of securities, considering the transaction structure and any subordination and credit enhancements existing in that structure. The cash flow model incorporates actual cash flows on the mortgage-backed securities through the current period and then projects the remaining cash flows using a number of assumptions, including prepayment speeds, default rates and loss severity.

Specifically for Prime and Alt-A RMBS, the default percentage is dependent on the severity of delinquency status, with foreclosures and real estate owned receiving higher rates, but also includes the currently performing loans. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, default rates for delinquent loans ranged from 15% to 100%. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, loss severities were applied to generate and analyze cash flows of each bond and ranged from 30% to 65% and 30% to 62.5%, respectively.

These estimates reflect a combination of data derived by third parties and internally developed assumptions. Where possible, this data is benchmarked against other third-party sources. In addition, these estimates are extrapolated along a default timing curve to estimate the total lifetime pool default rate.Other-than-temporary impairments are calculated as the difference between amortized cost and fair value. For other-than-temporarily impaired securities where Jackson does not intend to sell the security and for which it is not more likely than not that Jackson will be required to sell the security prior to recovery, total other-than-temporary impairments are reduced by the non-credit portion of the other-than-temporary impairments, which are recognized in other comprehensive income. The resultant net other-than-temporary impairments recorded in net income reflect the credit loss on the other-than-temporarily impaired securities. The amortized cost of the other-than-temporarily impaired securities is reduced by the amount of this credit loss.

For securities that were deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired and for which a non-credit loss was recorded in other comprehensive income, the amount recorded as an unrealized gain (loss) represents the difference between the fair value and the new amortized cost basis of the securities. The unrealized gain (loss) on other-than-temporarily impaired securities is recorded in other comprehensive income.

There were no such impairment charges in 2009. The net losses on derivative instruments included in the above table are further detailed in Note 5.

The aggregate fair value of securities sold at a loss for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 was $1,053.2 million, $1,926.7 million and $1,334.7 million, respectively, which was approximately 93%, 84% and 86% of book value, respectively.

There are inherent uncertainties in assessing the fair values assigned to the Company’s investments and in determining whether a decline in fair value is other-than-temporary. The Company’s reviews of net present value and fair value involve several criteria including economic conditions, credit loss experience, other issuer-specific developments and estimated future cash flows. These assessments are based on the best available information at the time. Factors such as market liquidity, the widening of bid/ask spreads and a change in the cash flow assumptions can contribute to future price volatility. If actual experience differs negatively from the assumptions and other considerations used in the consolidated financial statements, unrealized losses currently reported in accumulated other comprehensive income may be recognized in the consolidated income statements in future periods.

The Company currently has no intent to sell securities with unrealized losses considered to be temporary until they mature or recover in value and believes that it has the ability to do so. However, if the specific facts and circumstances surrounding an individual security, or the outlook for its industry sector change, the Company may sell the security prior to its maturity or recovery and realize a loss.

Commercial Mortgage Loans
Commercial mortgage loans of $5.5 billion and $5.7 billion at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, are reported net of an allowance for loan losses of $20.1 million and $33.2 million at each date, respectively. At December 31, 2011, commercial mortgage loans were collateralized by properties located in 41 states. Jackson’s commercial mortgage loan portfolio does not include single-family residential mortgage loans, and is therefore not exposed to the risk of defaults associated with residential subprime mortgage loans. Jackson periodically reviews these loans for impairment and, during 2011, 2010 and 2009, recognized impairment charges against the allowance for loan losses of $34.5 million, $17.7 million and $13.8 million, respectively. In addition, Jackson recorded an impairment as a realized loss of $9.7 million during 2011.

Securitizations
In 2003, Jackson executed the Piedmont CDO Trust (“Piedmont”) securitization transaction.  In this transaction, Jackson contributed $1,159.6 million of asset-backed securities, ultimately to Piedmont, which issued several classes of debt to acquire such securities.  The transaction was recorded as a sale; however, Jackson retained beneficial interests in the contributed asset-backed securities of approximately 80% by acquiring certain securities issued by Piedmont.  Prior to 2010, Piedmont, a qualified special purpose entity, was not consolidated by Jackson.

Effective January 1, 2010, as a result of adoption of ASC 2009-16, Jackson was deemed to be the primary beneficiary of Piedmont and consolidation of Piedmont was required.

As a result of this change, the Company recorded a decrease in retained earnings of $48.2 million upon consolidation of Piedmont.  At December 31, 2010, Piedmont’s assets of $463.9 million and liabilities to external parties of $26.2 million were included in Jackson’s financial statements.  At the date of adoption, Jackson also elected to carry the assets and liabilities in Piedmont at fair value, with changes in fair value reflected in the consolidated income statement.  The creditors of Piedmont do not have recourse to the general credit of Jackson.

During 2011, Jackson purchased the remaining outstanding external interest and, as a result, Piedmont was terminated.

In 2001, Jackson executed the Morgan Stanley Dean Witter Capital I, Series 2001-PPM (“MSDW”) securitization transaction.  Jackson contributed commercial mortgages with a total principal amount of $623.6 million to MSDW and retained beneficial interest.  Prior to 2010, MSDW, a qualified special purpose entity, was not consolidated by Jackson.

Effective January 1, 2010, as a result of adoption of ASC 2009-16, the Company was deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the variable interest entity MSDW and, as such, was required to consolidate their financial results into Jackson’s consolidated financial statements.  In March 2011, the external debt of MSDW was paid off entirely.  As such, Jackson’s consolidated financial statements include MSDW assets of $48.1 million at December 31, 2011 and MSDW assets and external liabilities of $80.6 million and $14.7 million, respectively, at December 31, 2010.

Other Invested Assets
Other invested assets primarily include investments in limited partnerships, real estate, and other loans.  Investments in limited partnerships have carrying values of $1,086.5 million and $865.8 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  Real estate totaling $168.9 million and $152.8 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, includes foreclosed properties with a book value of $19.2 million and $13.8 million, respectively.  Other loans have carrying values of $0 and $19.4 million and weighted average interest rates of 2.25% and 3.46% at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Limited Purpose Enhanced Return Entities (“SERVES”)
In 2004, Jackson acquired a $47.5 million debt interest in a limited purpose entity, SERVES 2004-1 (“SERVES 3”), formed to pass through leveraged investment returns based on the performance of an underlying reference pool of syndicated bank loans totaling up to $300.0 million.  Jackson’s interest represented 95% of the capital structure of the entity.  Based on the Company’s initial analysis, it concluded that SERVES 3 was a VIE and that the Company was not the primary beneficiary.  Thus, the Company’s investment was reported at the fair value of this debt instrument.

During 2008, Jackson entered into “Option Put and Forbearance Agreements” with the counterparty to the SERVES 3 entity in exchange for the counterparty forbearing its right to initiate forced liquidation of the entity under certain market value triggers.  During 2009, Jackson entered into revised forbearance agreements with this counterparty.  The support provided by the agreement at December 31, 2011 could potentially expose Jackson to maximum losses of $110.7 million, if circumstances allowed the forbearance period to cease.  Jackson believes that, so long as the forbearance period continues, the risk of loss under the agreement is remote.

As a result of the additional exposure to SERVES 3 upon entering into the “Option Put and Forbearance Agreement”, Jackson determined that it is the primary beneficiary of SERVES 3 and, accordingly, consolidated SERVES 3 in its financial statements.  The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the underlying assets of $49.5 million and $42.8 million and net liabilities of $2.7 million and $8.4 million in 2011 and 2010, respectively, of this entity.  The creditors of SERVES 3 do not have recourse to the general credit of Jackson.

In 2008, Jackson acquired $40.0 million of debt interests in a limited purpose entity, SERVES 2006-1 (“SERVES 4”), formed to pass through leveraged investment returns based on the performance of an underlying reference pool of syndicated bank loans totaling up to $500.0 million.   At the acquisition date, the Company performed an analysis, which produced return scenarios based on various assumptions for the reference pool, including spread income, default and recovery ratios, and holding period appreciation/depreciation, to determine whether the structure was a variable interest entity and, if so, whether Jackson was the primary beneficiary.  Based on the results of this analysis, the Company concluded that SERVES 4 was a VIE and that Jackson was not the primary beneficiary.  Thus, the Company’s investment was reported at the fair value of this debt instrument.  SERVES 4 notes were sold at par in May 2011.

Securities Lending
The Company has entered into securities lending agreements with an agent bank whereby blocks of securities are loaned to third parties, primarily major brokerage firms.  As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the estimated fair value of loaned securities was $51.6 million and $56.7 million, respectively.  The agreements require a minimum of 102 percent of the fair value of the loaned securities to be held as collateral, calculated on a daily basis.  To further minimize the credit risks related to this program, the financial condition of counterparties is monitored on a regular basis.  At December 31, 2011 and 2010, cash collateral received in the amount of $53.3 million and $58.1 million, respectively, was invested by the agent bank and included in cash equivalents of the Company.  A securities lending payable is included in liabilities for the amount of cash collateral received.

Securities lending transactions are used to generate income.  Income and expenses associated with these transactions are reported as net investment income.

5.    Derivative Instruments

Jackson’s business model includes the acceptance, monitoring and mitigation of risk.  Specifically, Jackson considers, among other factors, exposures to interest rate and equity market movements, foreign exchange rates and other asset or liability prices.  The Company uses derivative instruments to mitigate or reduce these risks in accordance with established policies and goals.  Jackson’s derivative holdings, while effective in managing defined risks, are not structured to meet accounting requirements to be designated as hedging instruments and are carried at fair value with changes recorded in other investment gains (losses).

Cross-currency swaps, which embody spot and forward currency swaps and, in some cases, interest rate and equity index swaps, are entered into for the purpose of hedging the Company issued foreign currency denominated trust instruments supported by funding agreements.  Cross-currency swaps serve to hedge derivatives embedded in the funding agreements and are carried at fair value.  The fair value of derivatives embedded in funding agreements, as well as unrealized foreign currency translation gains and losses, are included in the carrying value of the trust instruments supported by funding agreements. Foreign currency translation gains and losses associated with funding agreement hedging activities are included in other investment gains (losses).

Credit default swaps, with maturities up to five years, are agreements under which the Company has purchased default protection on certain underlying corporate bonds held in its portfolio.  These contracts allow the Company to sell the protected bonds at par value to the counterparty if a defined “default event” occurs, in exchange for periodic payments made by the Company for the life of the agreement.  Credit default swaps are carried at fair value.  The Company does not currently sell default protection using credit default swaps or other similar derivative instruments.

Put-swaption contracts provide the purchaser with the right, but not the obligation, to require the writer to pay the present value of a long-term interest rate swap at future exercise dates.  The Company purchases and writes put-swaptions for hedging purposes with original maturities of up to 10 years.  Put-swaptions hedge against significant movements in interest rates.  Written put-swaptions are entered into in conjunction with associated put-swaptions purchased from the same counterparties (“linked put-swaptions”).  Linked put-swaptions have identical notional amounts and strike prices, but have different underlying swap terms.  Due to the right of offset, linked put-swaptions are presented at the fair value of the net position with each counterparty.  Non-linked put-swaptions are carried at fair value.

Equity index futures contracts and equity index options (including various call and put options and put spreads), which are used to hedge the Company’s obligations associated with its index linked annuities and guarantees in variable annuity products, are carried at fair value.  These insurance products contain embedded options whose fair value is reported in other contract holder funds.

Total return swaps, in which the Company receives equity returns or returns based on reference pools of assets in exchange for short-term floating rate payments based on notional amounts, are held for both hedging and investment purposes, and are carried at fair value.

Interest rate swap agreements used for hedging purposes generally involve the exchange of fixed and floating payments based on a notional contract amount over the period for which the agreement remains outstanding without an exchange of the underlying notional amount.  Interest rate swaps are carried at fair value.  During 2011 and 2010, the Company entered into various interest rate swap transactions to more closely match the overall asset and liability duration.

At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the fair value of Jackson’s net derivative assets by counterparty were $1,457.1 million and $308.3 million, respectively, and held collateral was $1,505.5 million and $282.3 million, respectively, related to these agreements.  At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the fair value of Jackson’s net derivative liabilities by counterparty were $230.5 million and $548.7 million, respectively, and provided collateral was $172.5 million and $484.3 million, respectively, related to these agreements.  All of Jackson’s master swap agreements contain credit downgrade provisions that allow a party to assign or terminate derivative transactions if the counterparty’s credit rating declines below an established limit.  If all of these provisions had been triggered at December 31, 2011 or 2010, Jackson would have to disburse $106.5 million and $38.4 million, respectively, to counterparties, representing the net fair values of derivatives by counterparty, less collateral held.

Certain Nontraditional Long-Duration Contracts and Variable Annuity Guarantees
 
The Company issues variable contracts through its separate accounts for which investment income and investment gains and losses accrue directly to, and investment risk is borne by, the contract holder (traditional variable annuities).  The Company also issues variable annuity and life contracts through separate accounts where the Company contractually guarantees to the contract holder (variable contracts with guarantees) either a) return of no less than total deposits made to the contract adjusted for any partial withdrawals, b) total deposits made to the contract adjusted for any partial withdrawals plus a minimum return, or c) the highest contract value on a specified anniversary date adjusted for any withdrawals following the contract anniversary.  These guarantees include benefits that are payable in the event of death (GMDB), annuitization (GMIB), at specified dates during the accumulation period (GMWB) or at the end of a specified period (GMAB).
 
The assets supporting the variable portion of both traditional variable annuities and variable contracts with guarantees are carried at fair value and reported as summary total separate account assets with an equivalent summary total reported for separate account liabilities.  Liabilities for guaranteed benefits are general account obligations and are reported in reserves for future policy benefits and claims payable.  Amounts assessed against the contract holders for mortality, administrative, and other services are reported in revenue.  Changes in liabilities for minimum guarantees are reported within death, other policy benefits and change in policy reserves in the consolidated income statement with the exception of changes in embedded derivatives, which are included in other investment losses.  Separate account net investment income, net investment gains and losses, and the related liability changes are offset within the same line item in the consolidated income statements.

Amounts shown as GMWB ‘for-life’ above include a ‘not-for-life’ component up to the point at which the guaranteed withdrawal benefit is exhausted, after which benefits paid are considered to be ‘for-life’ benefits.  The liability related to this ‘not-for-life’ portion is valued as an embedded derivative, while the ‘for-life’ benefits are valued as an insurance liability (see below).  For this table, the net amount at risk of the ‘not-for-life’ component is the undiscounted excess of the guaranteed withdrawal benefit over the account value, and that of the ‘for-life’ component is the estimated value of additional life contingent benefits paid after the guaranteed withdrawal benefit is exhausted.

The GMDB liability is determined by estimating the expected value of death benefits in excess of the projected account balance and recognizing the excess ratably over the accumulation period based on total expected assessments.  The Company regularly evaluates estimates used and adjusts the liability balance through the income statement within death, other policy benefits and change in policy reserves, if actual experience or other evidence suggests that earlier assumptions should be revised.

The following assumptions and methodology were used to determine the GMDB liability at both December 31, 2011 and 2010 (except where otherwise noted):
 
1)  
Use of a series of deterministic investment performance scenarios, based on historical average market volatility.
2)  
Mean investment performance assumption of ­­8.4% after investment management fees, but before investment advisory fees and mortality and expense charges.
3)  
Mortality equal to 85.0% of the Annuity 2000 table.
4)  
Lapse rates varying by contract type, duration and degree the benefit is in-the-money and ranging from 0.13% to 44.0%, with an average of 4.0% during the surrender charge period and 10.0% thereafter.
5)  
Discount rate of 8.4%.

Most GMWB reserves are considered to be derivatives under current accounting guidance and are recognized at fair value, with the change in fair value reported in current earnings.  The fair value of these liabilities is determined using stochastic modeling and inputs as further described in Note 3.    The GMWB reserve totaled $2,074.8 million and $313.5 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and was included in reserves for future policy benefits and claims payable.

Jackson has also issued certain GMWB products that guarantee payments over a lifetime.  Reserves for the portion of these benefits after the point where the guaranteed withdrawal balance is exhausted are calculated as required by ASC 944-20.  The reserve calculation uses a series of stochastic investment performance scenarios.  Otherwise, the methodology and assumptions used are consistent with those used for calculating the GMDB liability.  At December 31, 2011 and 2010, these GMWB reserves totaled $14.7 million and $46.5 million, respectively, and were included in reserves for future policy benefits and claims payable.

GMAB benefits are offered on some variable annuity plans and issues have been minimal as of December 31, 2011.  These reserves totaled $3.2 million and $0.8 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  This benefit was eliminated from Jackson’s product offerings in 2011.

The direct GMIB liability is determined at each period end by estimating the expected value of the annuitization benefits in excess of the projected account balance at the date of annuitization and recognizing the excess ratably over the accumulation period based on total expected assessments.  The Company regularly evaluates estimates used and adjusts the liability balance through the income statement within death, policy benefits and change in policy reserves, if actual experience or other evidence suggests that earlier assumptions should be revised.  The assumptions used for calculating the direct GMIB liability at December 31, 2011 and 2010, are consistent with those used for calculating the GMDB liability.  At December 31, 2011 and 2010, GMIB reserves before reinsurance totaled $16.0 million and $7.5 million, respectively.

Other Liabilities – Insurance and Annuitization Benefits
The Company has established additional reserves for life insurance business for: universal life (“UL”) plans with secondary guarantees, interest-sensitive life (“ISWL”) plans that exhibit “profits followed by loss” patterns and account balance adjustments to tabular guaranteed cash values on one interest-sensitive life plan.  The Company also has a small closed block of two-tier annuities, where different crediting rates are used for annuitization and surrender benefit calculations.  A liability is established to cover future annuitization benefits in excess of surrender values.  The total liability for this block is the surrender value, plus the ASC 944-20 annuitization reserve.

Liabilities for these benefits have been established according to the methodologies described below:

1)  
Use of a series of deterministic premium persistency scenarios.
2)  
Other experience assumptions similar to those used in amortization of deferred acquisition costs.

Surplus notes
On March 15, 1997, the Company issued 8.15% surplus notes in the principal amount of $250.0 million due March 15, 2027.  These surplus notes were issued pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, and are unsecured and subordinated to all present and future indebtedness, policy claims and other creditor claims.

Under Michigan insurance law, for statutory reporting purposes, the surplus notes are not part of the legal liabilities of the Company and are considered surplus funds.  Payments of interest or principal may only be made with the prior approval of the Commissioner of Insurance of the state of Michigan and only out of surplus earnings which the Commissioner determines to be available for such payments under Michigan insurance law.  The surplus notes may not be redeemed at the option of the Company or any holder prior to maturity.

Interest is payable semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 of each year. Interest paid totaled $20.4 million in each of 2011, 2010 and 2009.
 
Mortgage loans
At December 31, 2011 and 2010, certain consolidated real estate VIEs had outstanding mortgage loans with a weighted average interest rate of 4.4% and 4.4%, respectively, with maturities through 2016.  Interest paid totaled $1.4 million, $2.1 million and $2.2 million in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

VIE related borrowings
Certain of the Company’s VIEs have “equity” classes issued in the form of non-investment grade debt.  Accordingly, these equity classes are classified as notes payable rather than minority interest in the consolidated balance sheets.  These notes accrue contingent interest in addition to the stated coupon.  At December 31, 2011 there was only one equity class outstanding that matures in 2016.  The outstanding principal amount accrued interest at a weighted average interest rate of 9.4% and 5.0% at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  Interest paid on the notes in 2011, 2010 and 2009 totaled $0.2 million, $8.8 million and $0.4 million, respectively.

Additionally, certain of the Company’s consolidated VIEs issued debt to external parties, which was redeemed in 2011.  While outstanding, the principal amount accrued interest at a weighted average interest rate of 0.8% in 2011 and 3.1% in 2010.  Interest paid on the notes totaled $0.2 million and $2.6 million in 2011 and 2010, respectively, which were the only years these VIEs were consolidated in Jackson’s financial statements.

Federal Home Loan Bank Mortgage Loan
In 2010, Jackson received a mortgage loan from the FHLBI, under its community investment program.  The loan accrues interest at 1.04% and the outstanding balance was $15.0 million as of both December 31, 2011 and 2010.  Interest paid totaled $0.2 million during 2011.  Jackson did not pay any interest on this mortgage loan during 2010, as the loan was executed in mid-December.  At December 31, 2011, the mortgage loan was collateralized by real estate with a carrying value of $20.4 million.

9.
Federal Home Loan Bank Advances

Jackson entered into a short-term advance program with the FHLBI in which interest rates were either fixed or variable based on the FHLBI cost of funds or market rates.  Advances of $150.0 million at an interest rate of 0.14% were outstanding at December 31, 2011.  There were no advances outstanding at December 31, 2010.  Jackson did not pay interest during 2011 since advances were only drawn in December.  Jackson paid $0 million and $0.3 million of interest on advances during 2010 and 2009, respectively.  Advances were collateralized by CMBS and other structured securities with a carrying value of $165.7 million at December 31, 2011.

10. 
Repurchase Agreements

During 2011 and 2010, the Company entered into repurchase agreements whereby the Company agreed to sell and repurchase securities.  These agreements are accounted for as financing transactions, with the assets and associated liabilities included in the consolidated balance sheets.  Short-term borrowings under such agreements averaged $316.4 million and $289.1 million during 2011 and 2010, respectively, at weighted average interest rates of 0.2% for both years.  The outstanding balance was $100.7 million and $552.5 million as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  Interest paid totaled $0.5 million, $0.6 million and $0.1 million in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  The highest level of short-term borrowings at any month end was $683.2 million in 2011 and $552.5 million in 2010.

11.
Reinsurance

The Company assumes and cedes reinsurance from and to other insurance companies in order to limit losses from large exposures; however, if the reinsurer is unable to meet its obligations, the originating issuer of the coverage retains the liability.  The Company monitors the financial strength rating of reinsurers on a monthly basis.

The maximum amount of life insurance risk retained by the Company on any one life is generally $2.0 million.  Amounts not retained are ceded to other companies on either a yearly renewable-term or a coinsurance basis.

In connection with the purchase of Life of Georgia in 2005, Jackson acquired certain lines of business that are wholly ceded to non-affiliates.  These include both direct and assumed accident and health business, direct and assumed life insurance business, and certain institutional annuities.

Jackson’s GMIBs are reinsured through an unrelated party and, due to the net settlement provisions of the reinsurance agreement, this contract meets the definition of a derivative. Accordingly, the GMIB reinsurance agreement is recorded at fair value on the Company’s balance sheets, with changes in fair value recorded through other investment gains (losses).

Jackson also ceded the GMDB coverage associated with certain variable annuities issued prior to 2003 to an affiliate, Prudential Atlantic Reinsurance Company, Dublin, Ireland (“PARC”).  PARC is a wholly owned subsidiary of Prudential.  Effective December 31, 2009, Jackson terminated the reinsurance agreement, paying a premium of $30.5 million to settle the experience account as defined in the agreement.  The net effect of terminating the reinsurance agreement and recapturing reserves of $265.6 million was a loss of $10.3 million, net of deferred acquisition cost amortization.

Federal income taxes paid (recovered) were $170.0 million, $(517.8) million and $(48.6) million in 2011, 2010 and  2009, respectively.  The 2010 tax recovery included $287.7 million due to Internal Revenue Service guidance issued in March 2010 related to the adoption of new statutory reserving requirements for variable annuities in 2009.  This new tax guidance required that the tax reserve decrease recognized upon implementation of the transition to the new reserving methodology be amortized over 10 years.  Approximately $822.1 million of the additional tax reserve deduction was available to carryback and offset the prior year’s taxable income.  For GAAP, this guidance resulted in a current tax recoverable, offset by a decrease in a deferred tax asset, with no impact on total tax expense.

Realization of Jackson’s deferred tax assets is dependent on generating sufficient taxable income.  Although realization is not assured, management believes that it is more likely than not that the results of future operations and investment activity will generate sufficient taxable income to realize gross deferred tax assets.

At December 31, 2011, the Company had no federal tax ordinary loss or federal tax capital loss carryforwards.

In August 2007, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) issued Revenue Ruling 2007-54 that would have changed accepted industry and IRS interpretations of the statutes governing the computation of the Dividends Received Deduction ("DRD") on separate account assets held in connection with variable annuity and life contracts, but that ruling was suspended by Revenue Ruling 2007-61. Revenue Ruling 2007-61 also announced the Treasury Department's and the IRS's intention to issue regulations with respect to certain computational aspects of the DRD on separate account assets held in connection with variable contracts. Any regulations that the IRS ultimately proposes for issuance in this area will be subject to public notice and comment, at which time insurance companies and other interested parties will have the opportunity to raise legal and practical questions about the content, scope and application of such regulations. Although regulations that represent a substantial change in an interpretation of the law are generally given a prospective effective date, there is no assurance that the change will not be retrospectively applied.  As a result, depending on the ultimate timing and substance of any such regulations, which are unknown at this time, such future regulations could result in the elimination of some or all of the separate account DRD tax benefit that the Company receives.  In January 2010, Jackson received a formal Notice of Assessment from the IRS disallowing the separate account DRD for 2003, 2005 and 2006.  Jackson did not agree with the assessment and filed a protest with the Appellate Division of the IRS.  No reserve has been established for this potential exposure since Jackson believes its position is sustainable.  The Company recognized an income tax benefit related to the separate account DRD of $59.1 million, $56.4 million and $27.3 million during 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

During 2011, Jackson established a reserve for an unrecognized tax benefit as required for income tax uncertainties.  The following table summarizes the changes in the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits, for the year ended December 31, 2011 (in thousands).  There were no unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2010.

Unrecognized tax benefit at December 31, 2010
  $ -  
Additions for tax positions identified in 2011
    45,065  
Reduction of tax positions of closed prior years
    -  
Unrecognized tax benefit at December 31, 2011
  $ 45,065  
 
The Company has considered both permanent and temporary positions in determining the unrecognized tax benefit rollforward.  The total amount of unrecognized benefits represent tax positions for which there is uncertainty about the timing of certain deductions.  The timing of such deductions would not affect the annual effective tax rate, excluding the impact of interest and penalties.

Interest totaling $10.4 million related to these unrecognized tax benefits has been included in income tax expense in the consolidated income statement for 2011.  The Company has not recorded any amounts for penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits during 2011, 2010 or 2009.

Based on information available as of December 31, 2011, the Company believes that, in the next 12 months, there are no positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease.  The Company is generally no longer subject to United States federal, state or local income tax examinations by taxing authorities for tax years prior to 2007.

13. 
Commitments and Contingencies

The Company and its subsidiaries are involved in litigation arising in the ordinary course of business.  It is the opinion of management that the ultimate disposition of such litigation will not have a material adverse affect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.  Jackson has been named in civil litigation proceedings, which appear to be substantially similar to other class action litigation brought against many life insurers including a modal premium case and allegations of misconduct in the sale of insurance products.  The Company accrues for legal contingencies once the contingency is deemed to be probable and estimable.  At December 31, 2011 and 2010, Jackson recorded accruals totaling $19.9 million and $29.0 million, respectively.

State guaranty funds provide payments for policyholders of insolvent life insurance companies. These guaranty funds are financed by assessing solvent insurance companies based on location, volume and types of business. The Company estimated its reserve for future state guaranty fund assessments based on data received from the National Organization of Life and Health Insurance Guaranty Associations. Based on data received, the Company’s reserve for future state guaranty fund assessments was $26.6 million and $24.9 million at the end of 2011 and 2010, respectively.  Related premium tax offsets were $15.3 million and $14.6 million  at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  While Jackson cannot predict the amount and timing of any future assessments, the Company believes the reserve is adequate for all anticipated payments for known insolvencies.
 
At December 31, 2011, the Company had unfunded commitments related to its investments in limited partnerships and limited liability companies totaling $529.8 million.  At December 31, 2011, unfunded fixed-rate commercial mortgage loan commitments totaled $119.3 million.

The Company has received industry-wide regulatory inquiries with respect to claims settlement practices and compliance with unclaimed property laws. To date, only one state has requested a formal search for potential unreported claims.  Any regulatory audits, related examination activity and internal reviews may result in additional payments to beneficiaries, escheatment of funds deemed abandoned under state laws, administrative penalties and changes in the Company’s procedures for the identification of unreported claims and handling of escheatable property.  Based on its current analysis, at December 31, 2011, the Company accrued $25.0 million for these unreported claims.  Additionally, regulators and state legislators are considering proposals that would require life insurance companies to take additional steps to identify unreported deceased policy and contract holders.  Currently, there does not appear to be a consensus among state insurance regulators and state unclaimed property administrators regarding a life insurer’s obligations in connection with identifying unreported deaths of its policy and contract holders. 

The Company leases office space, land and equipment under several operating leases that expire at various dates through 2051.  Certain leases include escalating lease rates, lease abatements and other incentives and, as a result, at December 31, 2011, Jackson recorded a liability of $13.0 million for future lease payments.  Lease expense was $25.2 million, $22.3 million and $20.6 million in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. At December 31, 2011, future minimum payments under these noncancellable operating leases were as follows (in thousands):

2012
  $ 23,087  
2013
    20,880

Statutory Accounting Capital and Surplus

Under Michigan Insurance Law, dividends on capital stock can only be distributed out of earned surplus, adjusted to exclude any unrealized capital gains and the effect of permitted practices, unless the Commissioner approves the dividend prior to payment.  At December 31, 2011, the adjusted earned surplus of Jackson National Life Insurance Company was $595.6 million.  Furthermore, without the prior approval of the Commissioner, dividends are also subject to restrictions relating to statutory surplus and/or statutory earnings.  The maximum dividend which can be paid in 2012, subject to the availability of earned surplus, without prior approval of the Commissioner is $410.6 million.

The Company received capital contributions from its parent of $19.4 million, $150.1 million and $592.4 million in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  The capital contributions included $19.4 million, $20.1 million and $21.4 million in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively, from Brooke Life’s forgiveness of intercompany tax liabilities.  Dividend payments from the Company to its parent were $530.0 million, $275.0 million and $250.0 million in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Statutory capital and surplus of the Company, as reported in its Annual Statement, was $3.6 billion and $4.4 billion at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  Statutory net income (loss) of the Company, as reported in its Annual Statement, was $(591.1) million, $769.6 million and $373.6 million in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

The Commissioner has granted Jackson a permitted practice that allows Jackson to carry interest rate swaps at book value, as if statutory hedge accounting were in place, instead of at fair value as would have been otherwise required.  Jackson is required to demonstrate the effectiveness of its interest rate swap program pursuant to the Michigan Insurance Code.  This permitted practice expires on October 1, 2012.  At December 31, 2011, the effect of the permitted practice decreased statutory surplus by $474.4 million, net of tax.  Statutory surplus increased by $130.3 million at December 31, 2010 due to the effect of the permitted practice.  The permitted practice had no impact on statutory net income.

Other Related Party Transactions

The Company's investment portfolio is managed by PPM America, Inc. (“PPMA”), a registered investment advisor, and PPM Finance, Inc. (collectively, “PPM”).  PPM is ultimately a wholly owned subsidiary of Prudential.  The Company paid $36.6 million, $37.2 million and $36.8 million to PPM for investment advisory services during 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

National Planning Holdings, Inc. (“NPH”), Jackson’s affiliated broker-dealer network, distributes products issued by Jackson and receives commissions and fees from Jackson.  Commissions and fees paid by Jackson to NPH during 2011, 2010 and 2009 totaled $94.7 million, $85.7 million and $76.7 million, respectively.

Jackson has entered into shared services administrative agreements with both, NPH and PPMA.  Under the shared services administrative agreements, Jackson charged $8.5 million, $6.2 million and $4.5 million of certain management and corporate services costs to these affiliates in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Jackson provides a $25.0 million revolving credit facility to Nicole Finance, Inc., an upstream holding company.  The loan, executed in 2011, is unsecured, matures in December 2016, accrues interest at 1.27% per annum and has a commitment fee of 0.10% per annum.  There was $14.7 million outstanding at December 31, 2011.  The highest outstanding loan balance during 2011 was $14.7 million.  Interest and commitment fees totaled $9 thousand during 2011.

Jackson provides a $40.0 million revolving credit facility to PPMA.  The loan is unsecured, matures in September 2013, accrues interest at LIBOR plus 2% per annum and has a commitment fee of 0.25% per annum.  There was no balance outstanding at December 31, 2011 or 2010.  The highest outstanding loan balance during 2011 and 2010 was nil and $21.0 million, respectively.  During 2011, 2010 and 2009, interest and commitment fees totaled $0.1 million, $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

Jackson provides a $20.0 million revolving credit facility to Brooke Holdings, LLC, an upstream holding company.  The loan is unsecured, matures in June 2014, accrues interest at LIBOR plus 2% per annum and has a commitment fee of 0.25% per annum.  There was no outstanding balance at December 31, 2011.  There was $7.0 million outstanding at December 31, 2010.  The highest outstanding loan balance during both 2011 and 2010 was $7.0 million.  Interest and commitment fees totaled $0.2 million, $0.1 million and $35 thousand during 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Jackson provides, through its PGDS subsidiary, information technology services to certain Prudential affiliates.  Jackson recognized $21.1 million, $20.1 million and $19.2 million of revenue associated with these services during 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  This revenue is included in other income in the accompanying consolidated income statement.  This revenue is substantially equal to the costs incurred by PGDS to provide the services, which are reported in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated income statements.

Benefit Plans

The Company has a defined contribution retirement plan covering substantially all employees and certain affiliates.  To be eligible to participate in the Company’s contribution, an employee must have attained the age of 21, completed at least 1,000 hours of service in a 12-month period and passed their 12-month employment anniversary.  In addition, the employee must be employed on the applicable January 1 or July 1 entry date.  The Company's annual contributions, as declared by the board of directors, are based on a percentage of eligible compensation paid to participating employees during the year.  In addition, the Company matches a participant’s elective contribution, up to 6 percent of eligible compensation, to the plan during the year.  The Company’s expense related to this plan was $18.0 million, $17.4 million and $16.3 million in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively, comprised solely of the Company’s annual contributions to the plan.

The Company maintains non-qualified voluntary deferred compensation plans for certain agents and employees.  At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the liability for such plans totaled $121.5 million and $119.2 million, respectively, and is reported in other liabilities.  Jackson invests general account assets in selected mutual funds in amounts similar to participant elections as a hedge against significant movement in the payout liability.  The Company’s expense related to these plans, including a match of elective deferrals for the agents’ deferred compensation plan, was $(1.7) million, $22.5 million and $34.8 million in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  Investment income from the mutual funds totaled $(3.7) million, $15.7 million and $27.6 million in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

17.  
Subsequent Event

In February 2012, Brooke Life received a Notice of Proposed Adjustment from the IRS, regarding an assessment related to its tax treatment of interest expense on intercompany debt.  Due to the intercompany tax sharing agreement, the effect of an adjustment, if any, would impact Jackson’s total stockholder’s equity.  The total aggregate exposure to the Company’s stockholder’s equity is approximately $130.0 million.  Brooke Life does not agree with the assessment, believes its current position is sustainable and intends to file a protest with the IRS once it receives the official report, which is expected to be issued in late March.

Item 28. Indemnification

Provision is made in the Company's Amended By-Laws for indemnification by the Company of any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to a civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer or employee of the Company, against expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceedings, to the extent and under the circumstances permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Michigan.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 ("Act") may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against liabilities  (other than the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Company 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 Company 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 Act and will be  governed  by the final  adjudication  of such issue.
