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.

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.

Business Day – each day that the New York Stock Exchange is open for business.

Completed Year – the succeeding twelve months from the date on which we receive a Premium payment. Completed Years specify the years from the date of receipt of the Premium and does not refer to Contract Years. If the Premium receipt date is on the Issue Date of the Contract then Completed Year 0-1 does not include the first Contract Anniversary. The first Contract Anniversary begins Completed Year 1-2 and each successive Completed Year begins with the Contract Anniversary of the preceding Contract Year and ends the day before the next Contract Anniversary.

If the Premium receipt date is other than the Issue Date or a subsequent Contract Anniversary, there is no correlation of the Contract Anniversary date and Completed Years. For example, if the Issue Date is January 15, 2017 and a Premium payment is received on February 28, 2017 then, although the first Contract Anniversary is January 15, 2018, Completed Year 0-1 for that Premium payment would begin on February 28, 2017 and end on February 27, 2018. Completed Year 1-2 for that Premium payment would begin on February 28, 2018.

Contract – the individual deferred variable annuity contract, including any endorsements.

Contract Anniversary – each one-year anniversary of the Contract's Issue Date.

Contract Month – the period of time between consecutive monthly anniversaries of the Contract's Issue Date.

Contract Monthly Anniversary – each one-month anniversary of the Contract's Issue Date.

Contract Quarter – the period of time between consecutive three-month anniversaries of the Contract's Issue Date.

Contract Quarterly Anniversary – each three-month anniversary of the Contract's Issue Date.

Contract Value – the sum of the allocations to the Contract's Investment Divisions.

 
Contract Year – the succeeding twelve months from a Contract's Issue Date and every anniversary. The first Contract Year (Contract Year 0-1) starts on the Contract's Issue Date and extends to, but does not include, the first Contract Anniversary. Subsequent Contract Years start on an anniversary date and extend to, but do not include, the next anniversary date.

For example, if the Issue Date is January 15, 2017, then the end of Contract Year 0-1 would be January 14, 2017, and January 15, 2018, which is the first Contract Anniversary, begins Contract Year 1-2.

Fund – a registered management investment company in which an Investment Division of the Separate Account invests.

Good Order – when our administrative requirements, including all information, documentation and instructions deemed necessary by us, in our sole discretion, are met in order to issue a Contract or execute any requested transaction pursuant to the terms of the Contract.

Income Date – the date on which you begin receiving annuity payments.

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.

Issue Date – the date your Contract is issued.

Jackson, JNL, we, our, or us – Jackson National Life Insurance Company. (We do not capitalize “we,” “our,” or “us” in the prospectus.) 

Latest Income Date – the Contract Anniversary on or next following the date on which the Owner attains age 95 under a non-qualified contract, or such earlier date as required by the applicable qualified plan, law or regulation.

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.

Premium(s) – considerations paid into the Contract by or on behalf of the Owner. The maximum aggregate Premium payments you may make without prior approval is $2.5 million. This maximum amount is subject to further limitations at any time on both initial and subsequent Premium payments.

Remaining Premium – the total Premium paid reduced by withdrawals that incur withdrawal charges, and withdrawals of Premiums that are no longer subject to withdrawal charges.

Separate Account – Jackson National Separate Account – I. The Separate Account is divided into sub-accounts generally referred to as Investment Divisions.

JNAM has entered into a contractual agreement with the Fund under which it will waive a portion of its advisory fee for such time as the Fund is operated as a Feeder Fund, because during that time it will not be providing the portfolio management portion of the investment advisory and management services.

D

This fee waiver is subject to yearly review and approval by the Board of Trustees.

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 and Fund expenses.

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 cost of the Monthly Contract 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.

The following example includes maximum Fund expenses. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

[TO BE UPDATED BY AMENDMENT]

If you surrender your Contract at the end of the applicable time period:
1 year
3 years
5 years
10 years
$580
$1,255
$1,980
$4,223

If you annuitize at the end of the applicable time period:
1 year *
3 years
5 years
10 years
$580
$1,155
$1,980
$4,223

*Please note, although we show this cost for comparison purposes, the earliest you can annuitize this Contract is one year after the Contract's Issue Date.

If you do not surrender your Contract:
1 year

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

CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The Contracts have not been previously offered so there is no condensed financial information related to Accumulation Unit Values under the Contracts. The value of an Accumulation Unit is determined on the basis of the per share value of an underlying Fund.

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 85.

Your Contract Value will be allocated to Investment Divisions of the Separate Account that invest in underlying Funds.

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

the accumulation phase, when you make Premium payments to us, and

the income phase, when we make income payments to you.

As the Owner, you can exercise all the rights under your Contract. In general, joint Owners jointly exercise all the rights under the Contract. In some cases, such as telephone and internet transactions, joint Owners may authorize each joint Owner to act individually. On jointly owned Contracts, correspondence and required documents will be sent to the address of record of the primary Owner.

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. Please contact our Annuity Service Center for help and more information.

The Contracts are flexible Premium variable deferred annuities 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). Prudential plc is also the ultimate parent of PPM America, Inc., a sub-adviser for certain of the Funds. Jackson is the parent of Jackson National Asset Management, LLC (“JNAM”), the investment adviser and administrator for Jackson Variable Series Trust, JNL Series Trust, and JNL Variable Fund LLC. JNAM provides certain administrative services with respect to the Separate Account, including separate account administration services and financial and accounting services. JNAM is located at 225 West Wacker Drive, Chicago, IL 60606.

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 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.

We have claimed an exclusion from the definition of the term “Commodity Pool Operator” under the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) with respect to the Separate Account. Therefore, we are not subject to registration or regulation as a Commodity Pool Operator under the CEA with respect to the Separate Account.

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

Your Contract Value may be allocated to no more than 99 Investment Divisions at any one time. Each Investment Division purchases the shares of one underlying Fund (mutual fund portfolio) that has its own investment objective. It is possible for you to lose your Contract Value allocated to any of the Investment Divisions. The amounts you are able to accumulate in your Contract during the accumulation phase 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 may be known as a “Fund of Funds” or as Funds investing in other “Underlying Funds” or investing in ETFs. Funds offered in a multi-tiered structure may have higher expenses than direct investments in the Underlying Funds or ETFs. You should read the summary prospectuses for the Funds and/or the prospectuses for the JNL Series Trust and Jackson Variable 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 Funds described 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 summary prospectuses for the Funds and/or the prospectuses for the JNL Series Trust, the JNL Variable Fund LLC, and the Jackson Variable Series Trust carefully before investing. The summary prospectuses for the Funds are attached to this prospectus. The summary prospectuses for the Funds and prospectuses for the JNL Series Trust, the JNL Variable Fund LLC, and the Jackson Variable Series Trust may also be obtained at no charge by calling 1-800-644-4565 (Annuity and Life Service Center) or 1-800-777-7779 (for contracts purchased through a bank or financial institution), by writing P.O.

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.


26



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. 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. These charges may be a lesser amount where required by state law, but will not be increased except as described below. We expect to profit from certain charges assessed under the Contract. These charges (and certain other expenses) are as follows:

Monthly Contract Charge. During the accumulation phase we deduct a $10 Monthly Contract Charge. This charge is deducted on each Contract Monthly Anniversary. We will also deduct the Monthly Contract Charge if you make a total withdrawal on a date other than a Contract Monthly Anniversary. The charge will be taken from the Investment Divisions based on the proportion their respective value bears to the Contract Value.

The Monthly Contract Charge will increase by $2.50 on every fifth Contract Anniversary following the Issue Date. We reserve the right to waive any increase to this charge, in a non-discriminatory manner. The charge compensates us for expenses associated with administration of Contracts, acquisition of business including marketing expenses, risks we assume in connection with the Contracts and costs associated with providing Contract benefits.

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. 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. Transfers made in connection with Investment Divisions under the Guidance Model Portfolios are treated the same as other transfers with respect to the charges and waivers described above. For information on the Dollar Cost Averaging, Earnings Sweep and Rebalancing programs please see the applicable section under “OTHER INFORMATION” beginning on page 42.

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 three years without being withdrawn), plus

earnings (excess of your Contract Value over your Remaining Premiums )

during each Contract Year 10% of Premium (subject to certain exclusions) that would otherwise incur a withdrawal charge, 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 amount (the withdrawal charge is imposed only on the excess amount above the free withdrawal amount), or

withdrawals under a Contract that exceed its required minimum distribution under the Internal Revenue Code (the entire withdrawal will be subject to the withdrawal charge), or

amounts withdrawn in a total withdrawal.



The amount of the withdrawal charge deducted varies according to the following schedule and is based on Completed Years following each Premium (state variations may apply):

Withdrawal Charge (as a percentage of Premium payments):
Completed Years since Receipt of Premium
0-1
1-2
2-3
3+
 
2.0%
2.0%
1.0%
0%

27




Upon a partial or full withdrawal, the withdrawal charge percentage will be the lesser of the withdrawal charge percentage indicated above, or the maximum withdrawal charge percentage listed below. In either case, the withdrawal charge percentage will remain constant or decrease with each year until no longer applicable.
Beginning on the Contract Anniversary
on or After the Owner Attains the Age of:

Maximum Withdrawal Charge Percentage
92
1.75%
93
0.75%
94+
0.00%

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, 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;

death benefits; or

withdrawals necessary to satisfy the required minimum distribution of the Internal Revenue Code (but if the withdrawal requested exceeds the required minimum distribution, then the entire withdrawal will be subject to the withdrawal charge).

The withdrawal charge compensates us for expenses associated with the acquisition of business including administrative and marketing expenses and other distribution expenses incurred by us or our affiliated distributor.

We may reduce or waive the withdrawal charge when the Contract is purchased by employees, agents and financial representatives of the Company or its affiliates. These transactions will be conducted in a non-discriminatory manner and under circumstances that reduce our business acquisition expenses.

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. There are deductions from and expenses paid out of the assets of the Funds. These expenses are described in the attached summary prospectus for the Funds. For more information, please see the “Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses” table beginning on page 4.

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).

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
[TO BE UPDATED BY AMENDMENT]
Jackson National Life Distributors LLC (“Distributor”), located at 7601 Technology Way, Denver, Colorado 80237, serves as the distributor of the Contracts. Distributor is a wholly owned subsidiary of Jackson. Distributor 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”). Distributor is not a member of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (“SIPC”). For more information on broker-dealers and their registered representatives, you may use the FINRA BrokerCheck program via telephone (1-800-289-9999) or the Internet (http://brokercheck.finra.org).

The Contracts are offered to customers of various financial institutions, brokerage firms and their affiliate insurance agencies (each a "Financial Institution," collectively "Financial Institutions"). Financial Institutions may also be registered as, or affiliated with, an investment adviser and offer advisory services through their registered representatives/investment adviser representatives to Contract Owners. No Financial Institution has any legal responsibility to pay amounts that are owed under the Contracts. The obligations and guarantees under the Contracts are the sole responsibility of Jackson. The Financial Institutions are responsible for delivery of various related disclosure documents and the accuracy of their oral description and suitable recommendation of the purchase of the Contracts.

No commissions are paid to the Financial Institutions that sell the Contracts. However, the Financial Institutions or their representatives may charge you an investment advisory or similar fee under an agreement you have with them independent of Jackson or Distributor. The Financial Institutions or their representatives determine the amount of the fee that will be charged and the amounts charged may vary based upon the practices of each Financial Institution. There may be tax and Contract implications, including adverse effects on Contract benefits, if you elect to have such fees withdrawn directly from the Contract. Financial Institutions providing such advisory services are acting solely on your behalf. Neither Jackson nor Distributor offer advice on how to allocate your Contract Value and we are not responsible for any advice your investment adviser provides to you. Neither Jackson nor Distributor endorses any investment advisers nor make any representations as to their qualifications.

Under certain circumstances, the Distributor and/or Jackson may pay Financial Institutions bonuses, overrides, and marketing allowances. These payments and/or reimbursements are in recognition of marketing, distribution, and/or administrative support provided by the Financial Institution and may not be offered to all Financial Institutions. The terms of these arrangements vary widely depending on, among other things, products offered; the level and type of marketing, distribution, and administrative support services provided; assets under management; the volume of sales; and the level of access we are provided to the registered representatives of the Financial Institution. Such payments may influence Financial Institutions and/or their registered representatives to present the Contracts more favorably than other investment alternatives. Such compensation is subject to applicable state insurance law and regulation and the FINRA rules of conduct. While such compensation may be significant, it will not result in any additional direct charge by us to you.

The two primary forms of such compensation paid by the Distributor and/or Jackson 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 annual product sales and generally range from 10 to 50 basis points (0.10% to 0.50%). Payments may also be based on a percentage of assets under management or paid as a specified dollar amount. Marketing support payments may be in the form of cash and/or non-cash compensation and are intended to provide us with exposure to registered representatives so that we may educate them about product features and benefits. Marketing support payments generally allow us to, among other things, participate in sales conferences (for example, national, regional, and top producer meetings hosted by a Financial Institution). 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; business development and educational enhancement items (such as software packages containing information for broker use, or prospecting lists); and other support services, including payments to third party vendors for such services. 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 FINRA rules of conduct, we may also provide cash and/or non-cash compensation to registered representatives in the form of gifts, promotional items, occasional meals, and entertainment. Registered representatives may qualify for different levels of sales and service support depending on the volume of business that they do with us.

We may use any of our corporate assets to cover the cost of distribution, including any profit from the Contract's charges.

Please see Appendix B for a complete list of Financial Institutions that received amounts of overrides and/or marketing support payments in 2015 from the Distributor and/or Jackson 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 and may involve substantial payments on a forward going basis.

Compensation is also paid to employees of the Distributor and/or Jackson who are responsible for providing services to Financial Institutions. These employees are generally referred to as "wholesalers" and may meet with Financial Institutions and/or their registered representatives to provide training and sales support. The compensation paid to the wholesalers may vary based on a number of factors, including Premium payments; types of Contracts or optional benefits (if any) sold by the Financial Institutions the wholesaler services; wholesaler performance; and overall company performance. The wholesaler may be required to achieve internally-assigned goals related to the same type of factors and may receive bonus payments for the achievement of individual and/or company-wide goals.

In addition to the Distributor, the following Financial Institutions are affiliated with Jackson and under common control within the same holding company structure:

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

The Distributor also has relationships with the sub-advisers to the various underlying Funds and their affiliates. The Distributor receives payments from some sub-advisers to assist in defraying the costs of certain promotional and marketing meetings hosted by the Distributor in which the sub-advisers 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 Financial Institutions may have other relationships with the sub-advisers (apart from Jackson) including selling retail mutual funds managed or advised by certain sub-advisers.


30



In addition, the Distributor acts as distributor of variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (the “Other Contracts”) issued by Jackson and its subsidiary, Jackson National Life Insurance Company of New York. The compensation related to the Other Contracts 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 create a conflict of interest as it may influence your Financial Institution and registered representative 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 Financial Institution and registered representative. You may ask your registered representative about any variations and how he or she and his or her Financial Institution are compensated for selling the Contract.

PURCHASES

Minimum Initial Premium:

$25,000 under most circumstances

Minimum Additional Premiums:

$500 for a qualified or non-qualified plan

$50 for an automatic payment plan

You can pay additional Premiums at any time during the accumulation phase.

These 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 the withdrawal charge. We reserve the right to limit the number of Contracts that you may purchase. We also reserve the right to refuse any Premium payment. There is a $100 minimum balance requirement for each Investment Division.

Maximum Premiums:

The maximum aggregate Premiums you may make without our prior approval is $2.5 million.

The payment of subsequent Premiums, depending on market conditions at the time they are made, may or may not contribute to the various benefits under your Contract. Our right to restrict Premiums to a lesser maximum amount may also affect the benefits under your Contract.

Allocations of Premium. You may allocate your Premiums to one or more of the Investment Divisions. The minimum amount you may allocate to the Investment Division is $100. We will allocate any additional Premiums you pay in the same way unless you instruct us otherwise.

You may not allocate your Contract Values among more than 99 Investment Divisions at any one time.

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).

Accumulation Units. Your Contract Value 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;


31



subtracting any 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.

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 respective charges under your Contract.

In connection with arrangements we have to transact business electronically, we may have agreements in place whereby the time when certain broker-dealers receive your initial Purchase Payment and all required information in Good Order will be used for initial pricing of your Contract Values.  However, if we do not have an agreement with a broker-dealer providing for these pricing procedures, initial Purchase Payments received by the broker-dealer will not be priced until they are received by us. As of the date of this prospectus, we have such an agreement with Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC and SBHU Life Agency.  Please check with your representative to determine if his/her broker-dealer has an agreement with the Company that provides for these pricing procedures.

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.

You can make 15 transfers every Contract Year 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

32



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 JNL/WMC Money Market Investment Division, Dollar Cost Averaging, Earnings Sweep or the 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 if you elect to have this privilege. Any authorization you (and any joint Owner) 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, a joint Owner, or your 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.

You may elect to make partial withdrawals by telephone, provided that we have received your prior written authorization to take instructions over the telephone. The amount of the withdrawal requested cannot exceed 80% of the Contract Value, up to a gross maximum withdrawal of $50,000. Telephone withdrawal requests may only be made by the Owner(s). Additional limitations may apply.

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 value of an Accumulation Unit 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.


33



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 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 to receive income payments.

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

Withdrawals under the Contract may 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 Monthly Contract Charges, and all applicable withdrawal charges. For more information about withdrawal charges, please see “Withdrawal Charge” beginning on page 27. We will pay the withdrawal proceeds within seven days of a request in Good Order. If a Purchase Payment made by personal check or electronic draft is received within the five days preceding a withdrawal request, we may delay payment of the withdrawal proceeds up to seven days after the date of the request, to ensure the check or electronic draft is not returned due to insufficient funds.

Your withdrawal request must be in writing but, under certain circumstances, partial withdrawals by telephone are permitted. For more information, please see “Telephone and Internet Transactions” above. 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 Investment Division from which you are making the withdrawal. If the Contract Value is less than $500, any withdrawal request will be treated as a total withdrawal. If you are not specific in your withdrawal request, your withdrawal will be taken from your allocations to the Investment Divisions 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 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.

The Contract is designed for Contract Owners who have hired an investment adviser to manage their Contract Value for a fee. You may authorize payment of the fee from the Contract by requesting a partial withdrawal. There may be tax and Contract implications, including adverse effects on Contract benefits, if you elect to have such fees withdrawn directly from the Contract. Conditions and limitations may apply, so please contact our Annuity Service Center for more information. Our contact information is on the cover page of this prospectus. The investment adviser you engage is acting solely on your behalf. We neither endorse any investment

34



advisers, nor make any representations as to their qualifications. The fee for this service would be covered in a separate agreement between you and your adviser, 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 38.

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. 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.

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.

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, but the Income Date must be at least one year after the Contract's Issue Date. 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 the Contract Anniversary on or next following your 95th birthday under a non-qualified Contract, or by such earlier date as required by the applicable qualified plan, law or regulation.

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.

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.

Fixed Income Payments. If you choose to receive fixed payments, the amount of each income payment will be determined by applying the portion of your Contract Value allocated to fixed payments, less any applicable Premium taxes and charges, to the rates in the annuity tables contained in the Contract applicable to the income option chosen. If the current annuity rates provided by us on contracts of this type would be more favorable, the current rates will be used.


35



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 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 net investment rate of 1.0% for all options and, if you select an income option with a life contingency, the age and gender of the Annuitant. 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 net investment rate, then your income payments will increase; if that performance is less than the assumed net 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. If you die after the Income Date but before the first monthly payment, the amount allocated to the income option will be paid to your Beneficiary.

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. If you and the person who is the joint life both die after the Income Date but before the first monthly payment, the amount allocated to the income option will be paid to your Beneficiary.

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. The calculation of the lump sum payment results in a Commutation Fee, which is further discussed on page 28.

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. The calculation of the lump sum payment results in a Commutation Fee, which is further discussed on page 28.

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.


36



DEATH BENEFIT

The Contract has a death benefit, which is payable during the accumulation phase. The death benefit equals your Contract Value on the date we receive all required documentation from your Beneficiary.

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.

If you die before moving to the income phase, the person you have chosen as your Beneficiary will receive the 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.

Payout Options. The death benefit 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; or

the Beneficiary may elect to receive distribution of the entire death benefit in a series of systematic withdrawals over a period not extending beyond the Beneficiary’s life expectancy. The distributions must satisfy the minimum distribution requirements resulting from the death of the Owner as defined by the Internal Revenue Code and the implementing regulations. Upon the Beneficiary’s death, under a tax-qualified Contract, the designated beneficiary may elect to continue such distributions or take a lump-sum distribution of the Contract Value. Under a non-qualified Contract, the designated beneficiary will receive a lump-sum distribution of the Contract Value.

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 “Spousal Continuation Option” beginning on page 37.

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.

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 Spousal Continuation Option, no death benefit will be paid at that time. The Spousal Continuation

37



Option may not be available in your state. See your financial advisor for information regarding the availability of the Spousal Continuation Option.

The 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 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.

Stretch Contracts. The beneficiary of death benefit proceeds from another company’s non-qualified annuity contract or tax-qualified annuity contract or plan, may use the death benefit proceeds to purchase a Contract (“Stretch Contract”) from us. The beneficiary of the prior contract or plan (“Beneficial Owner”) must begin taking distributions, or must have begun taking distributions under the prior contract or plan, within one year of the decedent’s death. The distributions must be taken over a period not to exceed the life expectancy of the Beneficial Owner, and the distributions must satisfy the minimum distribution requirements resulting from the decedent’s death as defined by the Internal Revenue Code and implementing regulations. (See “Non-Qualified Contracts – Required Distributions” on page 39.) Upon the Beneficial Owner’s death, under a tax-qualified Stretch Contract, the designated beneficiary may elect to continue such distributions or take a lump-sum distribution of the Contract Value. Upon the Beneficial Owner’s death, under a non-qualified Stretch Contract, the Stretch Contract terminates, and the designated beneficiary will receive a lump-sum distribution of the Contract Value. We will waive withdrawal charges on any withdrawal necessary to satisfy the minimum distribution requirements. Withdrawals in excess of the minimum distribution requirements may be taken at any time, subject to applicable withdrawal charges. Non-qualified Stretch Contracts may not be available in all states. The rights of Beneficial Owners are limited to those applicable to the distribution of the death benefit proceeds.

Special requirements apply to non-qualified Stretch Contracts. All Premium payments must be received in the form of a full or partial 1035 exchange of the death benefit proceeds from a non-qualified annuity contract and other forms of Premium payments are not permitted. Joint ownership is not permitted. The Beneficial Owner may not annuitize the Stretch Contract. The Stretch Contract terminates upon the Beneficial Owner’s death, and we will pay the Contract Value to the Beneficial Owner’s beneficiary(ies) in a lump-sum distribution. Please read the Contract and accompanying endorsement carefully for more information about these and other requirements.

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.


38



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. Some broker-dealers only offer the Contracts as non-qualified contracts.

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 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 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. 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

39



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.

Non-Qualified Contracts - 1035 Exchanges. Under Section 1035 of the Code, you can purchase a variable annuity contract through a tax-free exchange of another annuity contract, or a life insurance or endowment contract. For the exchange to be tax-free under Section 1035, the owner and annuitant must be the same under the original annuity contract and the Contract issued to you in the exchange. If the original contract is a life insurance contract or endowment contract, the owner and the insured on the original contract must be the same as the owner and annuitant on the Contract issued to you in the exchange. Under certain circumstances, partial surrenders may be treated as a tax-free “partial 1035 exchange” (please see the Statement of Additional Information for more information).

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 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.

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.

40




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 only 12 investment options with the insurance company having the ability to add an additional 8 options whereas a Contract offers 109 Investment Divisions, and, if more than 99 options are offered, a Contract Owner's Contract Value can be allocated to no more than 99 Investment Divisions at any one time. 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.)


41



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. You can arrange to have a dollar amount or percentage of money periodically transferred automatically into the Investment Divisions (each a "Designated Option") from any of the Investment Divisions (each a “Source Option”). Investment Divisions under a Guidance Model Portfolio also are available as Designated Options and Source Options.

In the case of transfers from Investment Divisions with a less volatile unit value to the Investment Divisions, Dollar Cost Averaging 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. You may cancel your Dollar Cost Averaging program using whatever methods you use to change your allocation instructions. You should consult with your representative with respect to the current availability of Dollar Cost Averaging. Certain restrictions may apply.

Earnings Sweep. You can choose to have your earnings transferred automatically on a monthly basis from the JNL/WMC Money Market Investment Division into other Investment Divisions. Earnings Sweep may only be added within 30 days of the Issue Date of your Contract.

There is no charge for Earnings Sweep. You may cancel your Earnings Sweep program using whatever methods you use to change your allocation instructions. You should consult with your representative with respect to the current availability of Earnings Sweep. Certain restrictions may apply.

Guidance Model Portfolios. The Elite Access Advisory Guidance Model Portfolios may be offered to you through your representative at no additional cost to assist in diversifying your investment across various asset classes of the available Investment Divisions (the “Guidance Model Portfolios” or “Models”). The Guidance Model Portfolios allow you to choose from ten Models designed to assist in meeting your stated investment goals. Each Guidance Model Portfolio is comprised of a carefully selected combination of Investment Divisions representing various asset classes. The Models allocate among the various asset classes to attempt to match certain combinations of investors’ investment time horizon and risk tolerance. Please consult your representative for more information about investment based on the Guidance Model Portfolios.

Electing a Guidance Model Portfolio

Your representative is available to assist you in electing a Guidance Model Portfolio when you purchase your variable annuity or if after Contract issue. You should determine, with the assistance of your representative, as needed, which Model is most appropriate for you based on your financial needs, risk tolerance and investment time horizon. You may request to discontinue the use of a Model by notifying your representative who will advise you on how to execute your decision.

You may also choose to invest gradually into a Guidance Model Portfolio through the Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) program. Please see “Dollar Cost Averaging” above.

You may invest in more than one Guidance Model Portfolio at a time and also invest in other Investment Divisions that are not part of the Guidance Model Portfolios. If you split your investment in one or more Guidance Model Portfolios, your investment may no longer be consistent with the Guidance Model Portfolio’s intended objectives. Additionally, if you invest in any Investment Divisions in addition to investing in a Guidance Model Portfolio, such an investment may not be or remain consistent with the Guidance Model Portfolio’s intended objectives you selected. Therefore, if you invest in a Guidance Model Portfolio, you should speak with your representative before investing in other Investment Divisions that are not part of the Guidance Model Portfolios.

You may request withdrawals, as permitted by your Contract, which will be taken proportionately from each of the allocations in the selected Guidance Model Portfolio unless otherwise indicated in your withdrawal instructions. If you choose to make a non-proportional

42



withdrawal from the Investment Divisions in the Guidance Model Portfolio, your investment may no longer be consistent with the Guidance Model Portfolio’s intended objectives. Withdrawals may be subject to a withdrawal charge and the usual tax consequences apply.

As further discussed with your representative, you can transfer 100% of your investment from each Guidance Model Portfolio to other Guidance Model Portfolios at any time; you will be transferred into the then current Models available. As a result of your transfer, you will need to update your allocation instructions on file with respect to subsequent Purchase Payments and, if applicable, DCA allocation instructions and Rebalancing instructions, if you want to reflect your new Model selection. Transfers where allocation and balancing instructions are not applicable, such as transfers of partial investments in a Model or transfers to multiple Models will require more detailed accompanying new instructions. Transfers in excess of 15 in a Contract Year may be subject to a charge (see “Transfer Charge” on page 27).

New Guidance Model Portfolios may be configured from time to time. The existing Models will remain unchanged. Thus, once you invest in a Model, the percentages of your Contract Value allocated to each Investment Division within the selected Model will not be changed by us. Any subsequent Purchase Payments will be invested in the same Guidance Model Portfolio as your existing Model and will not be invested in the then current Guidance Model Portfolios allocations, unless we receive specific written instructions to change to a new Guidance Model Portfolio. Your representative can provide you with information regarding the availability and nature of any new Guidance Model Portfolios and your selection of ones that meet your needs and goals. You should speak with your representative about how to keep the Investment Division allocations in your Guidance Model Portfolio in line with your investment goals over time.

Please see “Dollar Cost Averaging” above and “Rebalancing” below.

A subsequent Purchase Payment will be invested in the same Guidance Model Portfolio as your current investment unless we receive different instructions from you. You should consult with your representative to determine if you should update your allocation instructions, DCA target allocation instructions and/or Rebalancing program instructions on file when you make a subsequent Purchase Payment.

You can elect to have your investment in the Guidance Model Portfolios rebalanced quarterly, semi-annually, or annually to maintain the target asset allocation among the Investment Divisions of the Model you selected. Over time, the Guidance Model Portfolio you select may no longer align with its original investment objective due to the effects of Investment Division performance and changes in the Investment Division’s investment objectives. Therefore, if you do not elect to have your investment in the Guidance Model Portfolio rebalanced at least annually, then your investment may no longer be consistent with the Guidance Model Portfolio’s intended objectives. In addition, your investment goals, financial situation and risk tolerance may change over time. You should consult with your representative about how to keep your Guidance Model Portfolio’s allocations in line with your investment goals. Finally, changes in investment objectives or management of the underlying Funds invested in by the Investment Divisions in the Models may mean that, over time, the Models no longer are consistent with their original investment goals.

Important Information about the Guidance Model Portfolios

The Guidance Model Portfolios are not intended as investment advice about investing in the Investment Divisions, and we do not provide investment advice regarding whether a Guidance Model Portfolio should be revised or whether it remains appropriate to invest in accordance with any particular Guidance Model Portfolio. The Guidance Model Portfolios do not guarantee greater or more consistent returns. Future market and asset class performance may differ from the historical performance upon which the Guidance Model Portfolios may have been built. Also, allocation to a single asset class may outperform a Model, so that you could have better investment returns investing in a single asset class than in a Guidance Model Portfolio. However, such a strategy may involve a greater degree of risk because of the concentration of similar securities in a single asset class. Further, there can be no assurance that any Investment Division chosen for a particular Guidance Model Portfolio will perform well or that its performance will closely reflect that of the asset class it is designed to represent.

The Guidance Model Portfolios represent suggested allocations that are provided to you as general guidance through your representative. You should work with your representative in determining if one of the Guidance Model Portfolios meets your financial needs, investment time horizon, and is consistent with your risk tolerance level. Information concerning the specific Guidance Model Portfolios can be obtained from your representative.

We reserve the right to change the Investment Divisions and/or allocations to certain Investment Divisions in each Model to the extent that Investment Divisions or the Funds in which they invest are liquidated, substituted, merged or otherwise reorganized.

We reserve the right to modify, suspend or terminate the Guidance Model Portfolios at any time.


43



Rebalancing. You can arrange to have us automatically reallocate your Contract Value among Investment Divisions (including Investment Divisions under Guidance Model Portfolios) 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 your Rebalancing program using whatever methods you use to change your allocation instructions. You should consult with your representative with respect to the current availability of Rebalancing. Certain restrictions may apply.

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 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. We will pay the applicable free look proceeds within seven days of a request in Good Order. If a Purchase Payment made by personal check or electronic draft is received within the five days preceding a free look request, we may delay payment of the free look proceeds up to seven days after the date of the request, to ensure the check or electronic draft is not returned due to insufficient funds. In some states, we are required to hold the Premiums of a senior citizen in the JNL/WMC Money Market Investment Division 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 may reflect the deduction of the Monthly Contract Charges and the deduction of withdrawal charges.

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 any applicable provisions or requirements of the Internal Revenue Code.

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.


44



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, arising in the ordinary course of business. 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.

With respect to the asset allocations and investments recommended by SPIAS, investors should realize that such investment recommendations are provided to Jackson National Asset Management, LLC only as a general recommendation. The underlying funds of the JNL/S&P 4 Fund are co-sub-advised by SPIAS. SPIAS does not co-sub-advise the JNL/S&P 4 Fund. There is no agreement or understanding whatsoever that SPIAS will provide individualized advice to any investor. SPIAS does not take into account any information about any investor or any investor’s assets when providing investment advisory services to firms to which SPIAS provides services. SPIAS does not have any discretionary authority or control with respect to purchasing or selling securities or making other investments. Individual investors should ultimately rely on their own judgment and/or the judgment of a representative in making their investment decisions.

Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC, SPIAS, and their affiliates (collectively S&P), and any third-party providers, as well as their directors, officers, shareholders, employees or agents (collectively with S&P, S&P Parties) do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, adequacy or timeliness of any information, including ratings and valuations, and are not responsible for errors and omissions, or for the results obtained from the use of such information, and S&P Parties shall have no liability for any errors, omission, or interruptions therein (negligent or otherwise), regardless of the cause, or for the results obtained from the use of such information. S&P PARTIES DISCLAIM ANY AND ALL EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, SUITABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR USE. In no event shall S&P Parties be liable to any party for any direct, indirect, incidental, exemplary, compensatory, punitive, special or consequential damages, costs, expenses, legal fees, or losses (including, without limitation, lost income or lost profits and opportunity costs or losses caused by negligence) in connection with any use of the information contained in this document even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

S&P’s credit ratings are statements of opinion as of the date they are expressed and not statements of fact or recommendations to purchase, hold, or sell any securities or to make any investment decisions. S&P credit ratings should not be relied on when making any investment

or other business decision. S&P’s opinions and analyses do not address the suitability of any security. S&P does not act as a fiduciary or an investment advisor, except where registered as such. While S&P has obtained information from sources they believe to be reliable, S&P does not perform an audit and undertakes no duty of due diligence or independent verification of any information it receives.

To the extent that regulatory authorities allow a rating agency to acknowledge in one jurisdiction a rating issued in another jurisdiction for certain regulatory purposes, S&P reserves the right to assign, withdraw or suspend such acknowledgement at any time and in its sole discretion. S&P Parties disclaim any duty whatsoever arising out of the assignment, withdrawal or suspension of an acknowledgment as well as any liability for any damage alleged to have been suffered on account thereof.

S&P keeps certain activities of its business units separate from each other in order to preserve the independence and objectivity of their respective activities. As a result, certain business units of S&P may have information that is not available to other S&P business units. S&P has established policies and procedures to maintain the confidentiality of certain non-public information received in connection with each analytical process.

S&P may receive compensation for its ratings and certain analyses, normally from issuers or underwriters of securities or from obligors. S&P reserves the right to disseminate its opinions and analyses. S&P's public ratings and analyses are made available on its Web sites, www.standardandpoors.com (free of charge), and www.ratingsdirect.com and www.globalcreditportal.com (subscription), and may be distributed through other means, including via S&P publications and third party redistributors. Additional information about our ratings fees is available at www.standardandpoors.com/usratingsfees.

Based on a universe of funds provided to SPIAS, SPIAS may recommend for investment certain funds to which S&P licenses certain intellectual property or otherwise has a financial interest, including exchange-traded funds whose investment objective is to substantially replicate the returns of a proprietary index of S&P Dow Jones Indices, such as the S&P 500. SPIAS recommends these funds for investment based on asset allocation, sector representation, liquidity and other factors; however, SPIAS has a potential conflict of interest with respect to the inclusion of these funds. In cases where S&P is paid fees that are tied to the amount of assets that are invested in the fund, investment in the fund will generally result in S&P earning compensation in addition to the fees received by SPIAS in connection with its provision of services. In certain cases there may be alternative funds that are available for investment that will provide investors substantially similar exposure to the asset class or sector.

S&P provides a wide range of services to, or relating to, many organizations, including issuers of securities, investment advisers, broker-dealers, investment banks, other financial institutions and financial intermediaries, and accordingly may receive fees or other economic benefits from those organizations, including organizations whose securities or services they may recommend, rate, include in model portfolios, evaluate or otherwise address.

SPIAS may consider research and other information from affiliates in making its investment recommendations. The investment policies of certain portfolios specifically state that among the information SPIAS will consider in evaluating a security are the credit ratings assigned by S&P. SPIAS does not consider the ratings assigned by other credit rating agencies. Credit rating criteria and scales may differ among credit rating agencies. Ratings assigned by other credit rating agencies may reflect more or less favorable opinions of creditworthiness than ratings assigned by S&P.

The Funds are not sponsored, endorsed, sold or promoted by S&P and its affiliates and S&P and its affiliates make no representation regarding the advisability of investing in the Funds.

S&P Dow Jones Indices makes no representation or warranty, express or implied, to the owners of the Products or any member of the public regarding the advisability of investing in securities generally or in the Products particularly or the ability of the Indices to track general market performance. S&P Dow Jones Indices’ only relationship to Jackson with respect to the Indices or the Products is the licensing of the Indices and certain trademarks, service marks and/or trade names of S&P Dow Jones Indices and/or its licensors.

Standard & Poor’s Investment Advisory Services LLC (“SPIAS”) is a registered investment advisor with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and a wholly owned subsidiary of McGraw-Hill Financial, Inc. SPIAS does not provide advice to underlying clients of the firms to which it provides services. SPIAS does not act as a “fiduciary” or as an “investment manager,” as defined under ERISA, to any investor. SPIAS is not responsible for client suitability.

Programs and products of the firms to which SPIAS provides services are not endorsed, sold or promoted by SPIAS and its affiliates, and SPIAS and its affiliates make no representation regarding the advisability of investing in those programs and products. With respect to the asset allocations and investments recommended by SPIAS, investors should realize that such investment recommendations are provided to Jackson National Asset Management, LLC only as a general recommendation. The underlying funds of the JNL/S&P 4 Fund are co-sub-advised by SPIAS. SPIAS does not co-sub-advise the JNL/S&P 4 Fund. There is no agreement or understanding whatsoever that SPIAS will provide individualized advice to any investor. SPIAS does not take into account any information about any investor or any investor’s assets when providing investment advisory services to firms to which SPIAS provides services. SPIAS does not have any discretionary authority or control with respect to purchasing or selling securities or making other investments. Individual investors should ultimately rely on their own judgment and/or the judgment of a representative in making their investment decisions.

Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC, SPIAS, and their affiliates (collectively S&P), and any third-party providers, as well as their directors, officers, shareholders, employees or agents (collectively with S&P, S&P Parties) do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, adequacy or timeliness of any information, including ratings and valuations, and are not responsible for errors and omissions, or for the results obtained from the use of such information, and S&P Parties shall have no liability for any errors, omission, or interruptions therein (negligent or otherwise), regardless of the cause, or for the results obtained from the use of such information. S&P PARTIES DISCLAIM ANY AND ALL EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, SUITABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR USE. In no event shall S&P Parties be liable to any party for any direct, indirect, incidental, exemplary, compensatory, punitive, special or consequential damages, costs, expenses, legal fees, or losses (including, without limitation, lost income or lost profits and opportunity costs or losses caused by negligence) in connection with any use of the information contained in this document even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

S&P’s credit ratings are statements of opinion as of the date they are expressed and not statements of fact or recommendations to purchase, hold, or sell any securities or to make any investment decisions. S&P credit ratings should not be relied on when making any investment or other business decision. S&P’s opinions and analyses do not

3


address the suitability of any security. S&P does not act as a fiduciary or an investment advisor, except where registered as such. While S&P has obtained information from sources they believe to be reliable, S&P does not perform an audit and undertakes no duty of due diligence or independent verification of any information it receives.

To the extent that regulatory authorities allow a rating agency to acknowledge in one jurisdiction a rating issued in another jurisdiction for certain regulatory purposes, S&P reserves the right to assign, withdraw or suspend such acknowledgement at any time and in its sole discretion. S&P Parties disclaim any duty whatsoever arising out of the assignment, withdrawal or suspension of an acknowledgment as well as any liability for any damage alleged to have been suffered on account thereof.

S&P keeps certain activities of its business units separate from each other in order to preserve the independence and objectivity of their respective activities. As a result, certain business units of S&P may have information that is not available to other S&P business units. S&P has established policies and procedures to maintain the confidentiality of certain non-public information received in connection with each analytical process.

S&P may receive compensation for its ratings and certain analyses, normally from issuers or underwriters of securities or from obligors. S&P reserves the right to disseminate its opinions and analyses. S&P's public ratings and analyses are made available on its Web sites, www.standardandpoors.com (free of charge), and www.ratingsdirect.com and www.globalcreditportal.com (subscription), and may be distributed through other means, including via S&P publications and third party redistributors. Additional information about our ratings fees is available at www.standardandpoors.com/usratingsfees.

Based on a universe of funds provided to SPIAS, SPIAS may recommend for investment certain funds to which S&P licenses certain intellectual property or otherwise has a financial interest, including exchange-traded funds whose investment objective is to substantially replicate the returns of a proprietary index of S&P Dow Jones Indices, such as the S&P 500. SPIAS recommends these funds for investment based on asset allocation, sector representation, liquidity and other factors; however, SPIAS has a potential conflict of interest with respect to the inclusion of these funds. In cases where S&P is paid fees that are tied to the amount of assets that are invested in the fund, investment in the fund will generally result in S&P earning compensation in addition to the fees received by SPIAS in connection with its provision of services. In certain cases there may be alternative funds that are available for investment that will provide investors substantially similar exposure to the asset class or sector.

S&P provides a wide range of services to, or relating to, many organizations, including issuers of securities, investment advisers, broker-dealers, investment banks, other financial institutions and financial intermediaries, and accordingly may receive fees or other economic benefits from those organizations, including organizations whose securities or services they may recommend, rate, include in model portfolios, evaluate or otherwise address.

SPIAS may consider research and other information from affiliates in making its investment recommendations. The investment policies of certain portfolios specifically state that among the information SPIAS will consider in evaluating a security are the credit ratings assigned by S&P. SPIAS does not consider the ratings assigned by other credit rating agencies. Credit rating criteria and scales may differ among credit rating agencies. Ratings assigned by other credit rating agencies may reflect more or less favorable opinions of creditworthiness than ratings assigned by S&P.

The Funds are not sponsored, endorsed, sold or promoted by S&P and its affiliates and S&P and its affiliates make no representation regarding the advisability of investing in the Funds.

Jackson is the parent of Jackson National Asset Management, LLC (“JNAM”), the Funds’ investment adviser and administrator. Pursuant to an agreement between Jackson and JNAM, JNAM provides certain administrative services with respect to the Separate Account, including separate account administration services and financial and accounting services. For the past three years, Jackson paid $520,500 in 2013, $391,000 in 2014, and $410,087 in 2015 for the services provided by JNAM to Jackson.

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.

No commissions are paid to broker/dealers selling the contracts.

Calculation of Performance

When Jackson advertises performance for an Investment Division (except the JNL/WMC Money Market 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

9


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.

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.

Any current yield quotations of the JNL/WMC Money Market Division will consist of a seven calendar day historical yield, carried at least to the nearest hundredth of a percent. We may advertise yield for the Division based on different time periods, but we will accompany it with a yield quotation based on a seven calendar day period. The JNL/WMC Money Market Division's yield will be calculated by determining the net change, exclusive of capital changes, in the value of a hypothetical pre-existing account having a balance of one accumulation unit at the beginning of the base period, subtracting a hypothetical charge reflecting deductions from Contracts, and dividing the net change in account value by the value of the account at the beginning of the period to obtain a base period return and multiplying the base period return by (365/7). The JNL/WMC Money Market Division's effective yield is computed similarly but includes the effect of assumed compounding on an annualized basis of the current yield quotations of the Division.

The JNL/WMC Money Market Division's and effective yield will fluctuate daily. Actual yields will depend on factors such as the type of instruments in the Fund's portfolio, portfolio quality and average maturity, changes in interest rates, and the Fund's expenses. Although the Investment Division determines its yield on the basis of a seven calendar day period, it may use a different time period on occasion. The yield quotes may reflect the expense limitations described in the Fund's Prospectus or Statement of Additional Information. There is no assurance that the yields quoted on any given occasion will be maintained for any period of time and there is no guarantee that the

10


net asset values will remain constant. It should be noted that neither a Contract owner's investment in the JNL/WMC Money Market Division nor that Division's investment in the JNL/WMC Money Market Division is guaranteed or insured. Yields of other money market Funds may not be comparable if a different base or another method of calculation is used.

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.


11


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. 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.

12



The Treasury Department has issued Regulations establishing diversification requirements for the mutual Funds underlying the 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, JNL Variable Fund LLC, and Jackson Variable 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 offers [ ] Investment Divisions, and, if more than 99 options are offered, a Contract owner's Contract Value can be allocated to no more than 99 variable options at any one time. 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 can make 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.

13



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.


14


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

15


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

17


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 $5,500 for 2016. 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 2016, these levels are $117,000 in the case of single taxpayers, $184,000 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 $5,500 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. 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

18


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 includable compensation or the $18,000 elective deferral limitation in 2016. The limit is indexed for inflation in $500 increments annually. 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 $6,000. 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.


19


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 a 1% per annum assumed investment rate.

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 1% per annum.

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) 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); and

(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.

The Registrant is a separate account of Jackson National Life Insurance Company (“Depositor”), a stock life insurance company organized under the laws of the state of Michigan. The Depositor 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.

The organizational chart for Prudential plc indicates those persons who are controlled by or under common control with the Depositor. No person is controlled by the Registrant.

The organizational chart for Prudential plc is incorporated herein by reference to Exhibit 26 of Post-Effective Amendment No. 27, filed on April 18, 2016 (File Nos. 333-183048 and 811-08664).

Item 27. Number of Contract Owners

Not applicable at this time.

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.
