EXPLANATION OF FEE TABLES AND EXAMPLES
1. The purpose of the foregoing table and examples is to assist an investor in
understanding the various costs and expenses that he or she will bear
directly or indirectly by investing in the Separate Account. For additional
information see "Contract Charges," beginning on Page 12 of this Prospectus;
see also the sections relating to management of the Underlying Funds in their
respective prospectuses. The examples do not illustrate the tax consequences
of surrendering a Contract.
2. The examples assume that there were no transactions which would result in the
imposition of the Transfer Fee. The amount of the Transfer Fee is $25, except
that the first 15 transfers per Contract Year are not subject to the fee.
Premium taxes, which range from 0% to 4% of Premiums, are not reflected.
3. For purposes of the amounts reported in the examples, the Contract
Maintenance Charge is reflected by applying a percentage equivalent charge,
obtained by dividing the total amount of such charges anticipated to be
collected during the year by the total estimated average net assets of the
Portfolios attributable to the Contracts.
4. A Withdrawal Charge is imposed upon annuitizations which occur within one
year of the Issue Date.
5. NEITHER THE FEE TABLES NOR THE EXAMPLES ARE REPRESENTATIONS OF PAST OR FUTURE
EXPENSES. ACTUAL EXPENSES MAY BE GREATER OR LESS THAN THOSE SHOWN.

HIGHLIGHTS

This Prospectus contains information about the Contract, which provides
variable and fixed benefits. It describes the uses, costs and objectives of the
Contract, and the rights and privileges of the Owner. It also provides
information about the Company and the Separate Account.
Premiums for the Contracts may be allocated to one or more Portfolios of
the Separate Account, and/or the General Account under the Contracts. The
Separate Account invests in shares of the corresponding Series of the Underlying
Fund:
JNL SERIES TRUST
JNL Aggressive Growth Series
JNL Capital Growth Series
JNL Global Equities Series
JNL/Alger Growth Series
JNL/Phoenix Investment Counsel Balanced Series
JNL/Phoenix Investment Counsel Growth Series
PPM America/JNL High Yield Bond Series
PPM America/JNL Money Market Series
PPM America/JNL Value Equity Series
Salomon Brothers/JNL Global Bond Series
Salomon Brothers/JNL U.S. Government & Quality Bond Series
T. Rowe Price/JNL Established Growth Series
T. Rowe Price/JNL International Equity Investment Series
T. Rowe Price/JNL Mid-Cap Growth Series
The Individual Deferred Fixed and Variable Annuity Contracts offered by
this Prospectus are flexible premium contracts. The Contracts can be purchased
on a non-tax qualified basis ("Non-Qualified Plan Contract") or in connection
with certain plans qualifying for favorable federal income tax treatment
("Qualified Plan Contract"). This Prospectus describes only the variable portion
of the Contract.
A Withdrawal Charge may be imposed upon withdrawals from the Contract.
Withdrawal Charges will vary in amount depending upon the number of completed
years in the Contract from the date of Premium deposit at the time of its
withdrawal. The Withdrawal Charge is found in the Fee Tables. The maximum
Withdrawal Charge is 7%. (See "Withdrawal Charge".)
For purposes of determining federal income tax liability, withdrawals are
deemed to be interest and earnings, first-out basis, which means taxable income
is withdrawn first. There is a 10% penalty tax on the taxable amount of any
premature distribution from Non-Qualified and certain Qualified Plan Contracts.
The penalty tax generally applies to any distribution made prior to the Owner
attaining age 59 1/2. (See "Taxes".)
Withdrawals of amounts attributable to contributions made pursuant to a
salary reduction agreement (as defined in Section 403(b)(11) of the Code) are
limited to circumstances only when the Owner attains age 59 1/2, separates from
service, 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. Owners should consult their tax
adviser regarding the consequences of withdrawals or distributions.
The initial Premium must be at least $5,000 for Non-Qualified Plan
Contracts and $2,000 for Qualified Plan Contracts. Subsequent Premiums must be
at least $500 ($50 if made in connection with an Automatic Payment Plan). The
cumulative total of all Premiums under a Contract may not exceed $1,000,000
without the prior consent of the Company. (See "Purchases, Withdrawals and
Contract Value".) The Company may waive any of these minimums or maximums at any
time.
To be sure that the Owner is satisfied with the Contract, the Owner has a
ten day free look (or longer if required by state law). Within ten days of the
day the Contract is received, it may be returned to the Company's Annuity
Service Center, at the address shown on page 1 of this Prospectus. When the
Contract is received by the Company, the Company will void the Contract and
refund the Contract Value in full unless otherwise required by state and/or
federal law.

DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPANY AND THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
COMPANY
The Company is a stock life insurance company organized under the laws of
the state of Michigan in June 1961. Its legal domicile and principal business
address is 5901 Executive Drive, Lansing, Michigan 48911. The Company is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Prudential Corporation, plc, London, England.
The Company is admitted to conduct life insurance and annuity business in
the District of Columbia and all states except New York. It intends to market
the Contract in all jurisdictions in which it is admitted to conduct variable
annuity business. The Contracts offered by this Prospectus are issued by the
Company and will be funded by the Separate Account.
SEPARATE ACCOUNT
The Separate Account was originally established by the Company on June 14,
1993, pursuant to the provisions of Michigan law, as a segregated asset account
of the Company. The Separate Account meets the definition of a "separate
account" under the Federal securities laws and is registered with the Securities
and Exchange Commission as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company
Act of 1940. This registration does not involve supervision of the management of
the Separate Account or the Company by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The assets of the Separate Account are the property of the Company.
However, the assets of the Separate Account, equal to its reserves and other
Contract liabilities, are not chargeable with liabilities arising out of any
other business the Company may conduct. Income, gains, and losses, whether or
not realized, from assets allocated to the Separate Account are credited to or
charged against the Separate Account without regard to other income, gains, or
losses of the Company.
The Separate Account is divided into Portfolios, with the assets of each
Portfolio pertaining to Account Value invested in the shares of the
corresponding Series of the Underlying Fund. The Company does not guarantee the
investment performance of the Separate Account, its Portfolios or the Series of
the Underlying Fund. Values allocated to the Separate Account and the amount of
Variable Annuity payments will vary with the values of shares of the Underlying
Fund, and are also reduced by Contract charges. The Separate Account may also
fund other contracts issued by the Company, which will be accounted for
separately from the Contracts.
The basic objective of a variable annuity contract is to provide payments
which will be to some degree responsive to changes in the economic environment,
including inflationary forces and changes in rates of return available from
various types of investments. However, the Owner bears the entire investment
risk that the basic objective of the Contract may not be realized, and that the
adverse effects of inflation may not be lessened. There can be no assurance that
the aggregate amount of variable annuity payments will equal or exceed the
Premiums made with respect to a Contract.

SEPARATE ACCOUNT INVESTMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UNDERLYING FUND
Each of the Portfolios of the Separate Account invests in the shares of one
of the following corresponding Series, which are separate investment series of
an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 (commonly known as a "mutual fund"):
JNL SERIES TRUST
JNL Aggressive Growth Series
JNL Capital Growth Series
JNL Global Equities Series
JNL/Alger Growth Series
JNL/Phoenix Investment Counsel Balanced Series
JNL/Phoenix Investment Counsel Growth Series
PPM America/JNL High Yield Bond Series
PPM America/JNL Money Market Series
PPM America/JNL Value Equity Series
Salomon Brothers/JNL Global Bond Series
Salomon Brothers/JNL U.S. Government & Quality Bond Series
T. Rowe Price/JNL Established Growth Series
T. Rowe Price/JNL International Equity Investment Series
T. Rowe Price/JNL Mid-Cap Growth Series
A summary description of the investment objectives of the Series of the
Underlying Fund in which the Portfolios invest is contained in Appendix B to
this Prospectus. However, there is no assurance that the investment objective of
any of the Series will be met. Contract Owners bear the complete investment risk
for Premiums allocated to a Portfolio. Contract Values will fluctuate in
accordance with the investment performance of the Portfolio(s) to which Premiums
are allocated, and in accordance with the imposition of the fees and charges
assessed under the Contracts.
DETAILED INFORMATION ABOUT THE JNL SERIES TRUST IS CONTAINED IN ITS
ACCOMPANYING CURRENT PROSPECTUS. AN INVESTOR SHOULD CAREFULLY REVIEW THE TRUST'S
PROSPECTUS BEFORE ALLOCATING AMOUNTS TO BE INVESTED IN THE PORTFOLIOS OF THE
SEPARATE ACCOUNT.
VOTING RIGHTS
To the extent required by applicable law, the Company will vote the shares
of the Underlying Fund held in the Separate Account at meetings of the
shareholders of the Underlying Funds in accordance with instructions received
from persons having the voting interest in the corresponding Portfolios. The
Company will vote shares for which it has not received instructions in the same
proportion as it votes shares for which it has received instructions.
The number of shares which a person has a right to vote will be determined
as of a date to be chosen by the Trust not more than 60 days prior to the
meeting of the respective Underlying Fund's shareholders. Voting instructions
will be solicited by written communication in advance of such meeting. Except as
may be limited by the terms of the retirement plan pursuant to which the
Contract was issued, the person having such voting rights will be the Owner
before the Annuity Date; thereafter the payee entitled to receive payments under
the Contract.
SUBSTITUTION OF SECURITIES
If the shares of any of the Series should no longer be available for
investment by the Separate Account or if, in the judgment of the Company's Board
of Directors, further investment in the shares of a Series is no longer
appropriate in view of the purposes of the Contract, the Company may substitute
shares of another mutual fund (or Series thereof) for Underlying Fund shares
already purchased and/or to be purchased in the future by Premiums under the
Contract. No such substitution of securities may take place without prior
approval of the Securities and Exchange Commission and under such requirements
as the Commission may impose.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CONTRACT CHARGES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE
The Company deducts a Mortality and Expense Risk Charge from each Portfolio
during each Valuation Period. The aggregate Mortality and Expense Risk Charge is
equal, on an annual basis, to 1.25% of the daily net asset value of each
Portfolio. The mortality risks assumed by the Company arise from its contractual
obligations: (1) to make annuity payments after the Annuity Date for the life of
the Annuitant(s); (2) to waive the Withdrawal Charge in the event of the death
of the Owner; and (3) to provide both a standard and an enhanced Death Benefit
prior to the Annuity Date. A detailed explanation of the standard and Enhanced
Death Benefits may be found under "Death Benefit."
The expense risk assumed by the Company is that the costs of administering
the Contracts and the Separate Account will exceed the amount received from the
Administration Charge and the Contract Maintenance Charge. The Expense Risk
Charge is guaranteed by the Company and cannot be increased. The Mortality and
Expense Risk Charge is assessed during both the Accumulation Period and the
Annuity Period.
CONTRACT MAINTENANCE CHARGE
An annual Contract Maintenance Charge of $35 is charged against each
Contract. The amount of this charge is guaranteed and cannot be increased by the
Company. This charge reimburses the Company for expenses incurred in
establishing and maintaining records relating to a Contract. The Contract
Maintenance Charge will be assessed on each anniversary of the Contract Date
that occurs on or prior to the Annuity Date. In the event that a total surrender
of the Contract Value is made, the Charge will be assessed as of the date of
surrender without proration. This charge is not assessed during the Annuity
Period.
The total Contract Maintenance Charge is allocated between the Portfolio(s)
and the General Account in proportion to the respective Contract Values
similarly allocated. The Contract Maintenance Charge is at cost with no margin
included for profit. The Company will monitor this charge to ensure that it does
not exceed annual administrative expenses. This charge may be a lesser amount
where required by state law.
ADMINISTRATION CHARGE
The Company assesses an Administration Charge equal, on an annual basis, to
0.15% of the daily net asset value of the Separate Account. The Administration
Charge is designed only to reimburse the Company for administrative expenses
related to the Separate Account and the issuance and maintenance of the
Contract, and the Company will monitor this charge to ensure that it does not
exceed annual administration expenses.
TRANSFER FEE
A Transfer Fee of $25.00 will apply to transfers in excess of 15 in a
Contract Year. The Company may waive the Transfer Fee in connection with
pre-authorized automatic transfer programs, or in those states where a lesser
fee is required.
This fee will be deducted from Contract Values which remain in the
Portfolio(s) from which the transfer was made. If such remaining Contract Value
is insufficient to pay the Transfer Fee, then the fee will be deducted from
transferred Contract Values.
13
<PAGE> 18
WITHDRAWAL CHARGE
Federal tax law places a number of constraints on withdrawals from annuity
contracts. Subject to those limitations, the Contract Value may be withdrawn at
any time during the Accumulation Period. Owners should consult their own tax
counsel or other tax advisers regarding any withdrawals. (See "Withdrawals").
A contingent deferred sales charge, which is referred to as the Withdrawal
Charge, may be imposed upon certain withdrawals. Withdrawal Charges will vary in
amount depending upon the number of completed years in the Contract from the
date of Premium deposit at the time of withdrawal in accordance with the
Withdrawal Charge table shown below.
WITHDRAWAL CHARGE TABLE
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>

Fifth.............................................................................. 2%
Sixth.............................................................................. 1%
Seventh and later.................................................................. 0%
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
</TABLE>
The Withdrawal Charge is deducted from the remaining Contract Value so that
the actual reduction in Contract Value as a result of the withdrawal will be
greater than the withdrawal amount requested and paid. For purposes of
determining the Withdrawal Charge, withdrawals will be allocated first to
earnings, if any (which may generally be withdrawn free of Withdrawal Charge),
and then to Premium on a first-in, first-out basis so that all withdrawals are
allocated to Premium to which the lowest (if any) Withdrawal Charge applies.
Premiums that are no longer subject to the Withdrawal Charge (and not
previously withdrawn), plus earnings in the Owner's Account may be withdrawn
free of Withdrawal Charges at any time ("Initial Free Withdrawal").
Further, there may be an additional free withdrawal amount for the first
withdrawal during a Contract Year ("Additional Free Withdrawal"). The Additional
Free Withdrawal amount is equal to 10% of Premium that remains subject to the
Withdrawal Charge, less earnings in the Owner's account. An Owner will not
receive the benefit of an Additional Free Withdrawal in a full surrender. For an
example of the Additional Free Withdrawal calculation see Appendix C.
If the withdrawal request does not specify from which Portfolio(s) the
withdrawal is to be made, the request will be processed by reducing the Contract
Values in each Portfolio in proportion to their allocations.
The Company will waive the Withdrawal Charge on any withdrawal necessary to
satisfy the minimum distribution
requirements of the Code. In addition, where legally permitted, the Withdrawal
Charge may be eliminated when a Contract is issued to an agent, officer,
director or employee of the Company or its affiliates.
The amounts obtained from the Withdrawal Charge will be used to pay sales
commissions and other promotional or distribution expenses associated with the
marketing of the Contracts. To the extent that the Withdrawal Charge is
insufficient to cover all sales commissions and other promotional or
distribution expenses, the Company may use any of its corporate assets,
including potential profit which may arise from the Mortality and Expense Risk
Charge, to make up any difference.
PREMIUM TAXES
The Company will charge against the Contract Value the amount of any
premium taxes levied by a state or any other governmental entity upon Premiums
received by the Company. To the best of the Company's present knowledge, premium
taxes currently imposed by certain jurisdictions range from 0% to 4.0%. This
range is subject to change. The method used to recoup premium tax expense will
be determined by the Company at its sole discretion and in compliance with
applicable state law. The Company may deduct such charges from an Owner's
Contract Value either: (1) at the time the Contract is surrendered, (2) at
Annuitization, or (3) in those states which require, at the time Premiums are
made to the Contract.
14
<PAGE> 19
DEDUCTION FOR SEPARATE ACCOUNT INCOME TAXES
While the Company is not currently maintaining a provision for taxes, the
Company has reserved the right to establish such a provision for taxes in the
future if it determines, in its sole discretion, that it will incur a tax as a
result of the operation of the Separate Account. The Company will deduct for any
taxes incurred by it as a result of the operation of the Separate Account
whether or not there was a provision for taxes and whether or not it was
sufficient.
OTHER EXPENSES
The charges and expenses applicable to the various Series of the Underlying
Funds are borne indirectly by Owners having Contract Values allocated to the
Portfolios that invest in the respective Series. For a summary of current
estimates of those charges and expenses, see "Fee Tables."
REDUCTION OF CHARGES FOR SALES TO CERTAIN GROUPS
The Company may reduce the Withdrawal and/or Administration charges on
Contracts sold to certain groups or individuals, or to a trustee, employer or
other entity representing a group, where it is expected that such sales will
result in savings of sales or administrative expenses. The entitlement to such
reductions will be determined by the Company by considering the following
factors: (1) the size of the group; (2) the total amount of Premiums expected
to be received; (3) the nature of the group for which the Contracts are
purchased, and the persistency expected in that group; (4) the purpose for
which the Contracts are purchased and whether that purpose makes it likely that
expenses will be reduced; and (5) any other circumstances which the Company
believes to be relevant in determining whether reduced sales or administrative
expenses may be expected. None of the reductions in charges for such sales is
contractually guaranteed. Such reductions may be withdrawn or modified by the
Company on a uniform basis. The Company's reductions in charges for such sales
will not be unfairly discriminatory to the interests of any Owners.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DESCRIPTION OF THE CONTRACTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY
The Contracts provide for the accumulation of Contract Values during the
Accumulation Period. Upon Annuitization, benefits are payable under the
Contracts in the form of an annuity, either for the life of the Annuitant or for
a fixed number of years, as permitted by state law. (See "Annuity Period --
Annuity Options.")
OWNER
The Owner is the person who is entitled to exercise all rights and
privileges of ownership under the Contract.
If Joint Owners are named, the Joint Owner must be the spouse of the other
Joint Owner. The Joint Owner will possess an undivided interest in the Contract.
The Contract Owner retains sole rights in the Contract upon the other's death
prior to the Annuity Date. Unless otherwise provided, when Joint Owners are
named, the exercise of any ownership right in the Contract shall require a
written indication of an intent to exercise that right, which must be signed by
both Owners. Upon the death of a Joint Contract Owner, the surviving Joint
Owner, if any, will be treated as the primary Beneficiary. Any other Beneficiary
designation on record at the time of death will be treated as a contingent
Beneficiary.
ANNUITANT
The Annuitant is the person on whose life annuity payments under a Contract
depend. (In the case of a Contract issued in connection with a plan qualified
under Section 403(b) or 408 of the Code, the Owner is the Annuitant.)
MODIFICATION OF THE CONTRACT
Only the Company's President, a Vice President, Secretary or Assistant
Secretary may approve a change or waive any provisions of the Contract. Any
change or waiver must be in writing. No agent has the authority to change or
waive the provisions of the Contract.
The Company reserves the right to change the terms of the Contract as may
be necessary to comply with changes in applicable law, or otherwise deemed
necessary by the Company.
ASSIGNMENT
Where permitted, the Owner may assign the Contract at any time during the
lifetime of the Annuitant. Such assignment will take effect upon receipt by the
Company of written notice thereof executed by the Owner. The Company assumes no
responsibility for the validity or sufficiency of any assignment. The Company
shall not be liable as to any payment or other settlement made by the
15
<PAGE> 20
Company before receipt of the assignment. Qualified Plan Contracts may not be
assigned, pledged or otherwise transferred except under such conditions as may
be allowed by applicable law.
If this Contract is a Non-Qualified Plan Contract, any portion which is
pledged or assigned shall be treated as a distribution and shall be included in
gross income to the extent that the cash value exceeds the investment in the
Contract, for the taxable year in which the assignment or pledge occurs. In
addition, any portion assigned may, under certain conditions, be subject to a
tax penalty equal to 10% of the amount which is included in gross income.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DEATH BENEFIT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DEATH OF CONTRACT OWNER BEFORE THE ANNUITY DATE
Upon the death of the Owner, or any Joint Contract Owner, before the
Annuity Date, the death benefit will be paid to the Beneficiary(ies) designated
by the Owner. Upon the death of a Joint Contract Owner, the surviving Joint
Contract Owner, if any, will be treated as the primary Beneficiary. Any other
Beneficiary designation on record at the time of death will be treated as a
contingent Beneficiary.
DEATH BENEFIT AMOUNT BEFORE THE ANNUITY DATE
The standard death benefit is equal to the greater of:
1. the Contract Value at the end of the Valuation Period during which
due proof of death and an election of the type of payment to the
Beneficiary is received by the Company, at the Home Office, or
2. the total Premiums paid prior to the death of the Owner, minus the
sum of:
a) the total withdrawals and any Withdrawal Charges assessed; and
b) premium taxes incurred.
In addition, where permitted by state law, the Company will provide an
enhanced death benefit. The enhanced death benefit is determined by (A)
re-computing the standard death benefit by accumulating all amounts under (2)
above annually at 5% (4% if the Owner was age 70 or older on the Issue Date) to
the date of death, and (B) paying the greater of the amount so determined and
the following amount, which is deemed to be $0 if the Owner dies prior to the
seventh Contract Year:
the Contract Value at the seventh Contract Year, plus any Premiums
paid since that time and prior to death, minus the sum of:
a) total withdrawals and any Withdrawal Charges assessed since
such seventh Contract Year; and
b) premium taxes incurred since the seventh Contract Year,
all accumulated annually at 5% (4% if the Owner was age 70 or older on
the Issue Date) to the date of death.
The enhanced death benefit shall never exceed 250% of all Premiums paid to
the Contract, reduced by the amount of any withdrawals.
NOTE: The portion of the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge
attributable to the enhanced death benefit will be assessed against
Separate Account allocations pursuant to all Contracts issued, whether or
not applicable state laws permit the Contract to offer the enhanced death
benefit.
DEATH BENEFIT OPTIONS BEFORE THE ANNUITY DATE
In the event of the death of the Owner, or any Joint Contract Owner, before
the Annuity Date, a Beneficiary must request that the death benefit be paid
under one of the Death Benefit Options below. In addition, if the Beneficiary is
the spouse of the Contract Owner, he or she may elect to continue the Contract
at the then Contract Value in his or her own name and exercise all the Contract
Owner's rights under the Contract. The following are the Death Benefit Options:
Option 1 -- lump sum payment of the death benefit; or
Option 2 -- the payment of the entire death benefit within 5 years of
the date of the death of the Contract Owner or any Joint Contract Owner; or
Option 3 -- payment of the death benefit under an Annuity Option over
the lifetime of the Beneficiary or over a period not extending beyond the
life expectancy of the Beneficiary with distribution beginning within one
year of the date of Your death or any Joint Contract Owner.
16
<PAGE> 21
Any portion of the death benefit not applied under Option 3 within one year
of the date of a Contract Owner's death, must be distributed within five years
of the date of death.
If a lump sum payment is requested, the amount will be paid within seven
(7) days of receipt of proof of death and the election, unless the Suspension or
Deferral of Payments Provision is in effect.
Payment to the Beneficiary, other than in a single sum, may only be elected
during the sixty-day period beginning with the date of receipt of proof of
death.
DEATH OF CONTRACT OWNER AFTER THE ANNUITY DATE
If the Owner, or any Joint Contract Owner, dies after the Annuity Date, and
the Owner is not an Annuitant, any remaining payments under the Annuity Option
elected will continue at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution in
effect at such Contract Owner's death. Upon Your death after the Annuity Date,
the Beneficiary becomes the Contract Owner.
DEATH OF ANNUITANT
Upon the death of an Annuitant, who is not a Contract Owner, before the
Annuity Date, the Owner may designate a new Annuitant, subject to the Company's
underwriting rules then in effect. If no designation is made within 30 days of
the death the Annuitant, You will become the Annuitant. If the Contract Owner is
a non-natural person, the death of the Annuitant will be treated as the death of
the Contract Owner and a new Annuitant may not be designated.
Upon the death of the Annuitant after the Annuity Date, the death benefit,
if any, will be as specified in the Annuity Option elected. Death benefits will
be paid at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution in effect at the
Annuitant's death.
BENEFICIARY
The Owner may designate the Beneficiary(ies) to receive any amount payable
on Owner's death. The original Beneficiary(ies) will be named in the
application. If two or more persons are named, those surviving the Owner will
share equally unless otherwise stated. The Owner may change the Beneficiary(ies)
by filing a written request with the Company at its Annuity Service Center,
unless an irrevocable Beneficiary(ies) designation was previously filed. Any
change will take effect when recorded by the Company. The Company is not liable
for any payment made or action taken before it records the change.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PURCHASES, WITHDRAWALS AND CONTRACT VALUE
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PREMIUMS
Premiums are flexible. This means that the Owner, subject to Company
declared minimums and maximums, may change the amounts, frequency or timing of
Premiums. The initial Premium must be at least $5,000 for Non-Qualified Plan
Contracts and $2,000 for Qualified Plan Contracts. Subsequent Premiums must be
at least $500 ($50 if made in connection with an Automatic Payment Plan). Total
Premiums under a Contract may not exceed $1,000,000 without the prior consent of
the Company. The Company will not issue a Contract to an individual under a
Non-Qualified Plan who is age 80 or older or under a Qualified Plan who is age
70 1/2 or older, without prior Company approval. The Company may waive any of
the maximums or minimums contained in this Section.
The Company reserves the right to refuse any Premium at any time.
AUTOMATIC PAYMENT PLAN
Automatic bank drafts through the Company's Automatic Payment Plan for
scheduled subsequent Premiums may be made at a minimum of $50 or more per month.
An enrollment form for this program is available through the Company's Annuity
Service Center.
AUTOMATIC DOLLAR COST AVERAGING PROGRAM
Units of the Portfolios may be purchased over a period of time through the
Automatic Dollar Cost Averaging ("DCA") Program. Under this Program, the Owner
may authorize the automatic transfer of a fixed dollar amount ($100 minimum) of
his or her choice at regular intervals from a source account to one or more of
the Portfolios (other than the source account) at the unit values determined on
the dates of the transfers. Currently, all Portfolios are available as source
accounts. The
17
<PAGE> 22
intervals between transfers may be monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or
annually, at the option of the Owner. This service is intended to allow the
Owner to utilize DCA, a long-term investment program which provides for regular,
level investments over time. The Company makes no guarantees that DCA will
result in a profit or protect against loss in a declining market. To qualify for
the DCA Program, there must be a minimum total Contract Value of $15,000, unless
such minimum is waived by the Company.
Another option under the DCA Program is the periodic transfer of a selected
percentage of the value of the source account to one of the Portfolios (other
than the source account). A third option is to transfer the entire Contract
Value in the source account in a stated number of transfers as selected by the
Owner. Although the various options under the DCA Program will allow transfers
to be made from any of the Portfolios, the Owner must elect to have the
transfers made exclusively from one of these source accounts.
A written election of this service, on a form provided by the Company, must
be completed by the Contract Owner in order to begin transfers. Once elected,
transfers from the source account will be processed periodically until either
the value of the source account is completely depleted or the Contract Owner
instructs the Company in writing to cancel the transfers. The Company also
reserves the right to assess a processing fee for this service.
REBALANCING
A Contract Owner may elect, on a form provided by the Company, to have
his/her Separate Account Value reallocated among Portfolios in designated
percentages on a periodic basis (monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual
basis, or at such other time interval as approved by the Company). The Company
reserves the right to assess a processing fee for this service.
ALLOCATION OF PREMIUMS
Premiums are allocated to the Portfolio(s) selected by the Owner. Owners
making initial Premiums should specify their allocations on the application for
a Contract. If the application is in good order, the Company will apply the
initial Premium to the Portfolio(s), as selected, and credit the Contract with
Accumulation Units within two business days of receipt at the Annuity Service
Center. The number of Accumulation Units in a Portfolio attributable to a
Premium is determined by dividing that portion of the Premium which is allocated
to the Portfolio by that Portfolio's Accumulation Unit value as of the end of
the Valuation Period when the allocation occurs.
IF THE APPLICATION DOES NOT SPECIFY AN ALLOCATION, THE APPLICATION IS NOT
IN GOOD ORDER. If the application for a Contract is not in good order, the
Company will attempt to rectify it within five business days of its receipt at
the Annuity Service Center. The Company will credit the initial Premium within
two business days after the application has been rectified. Unless the
prospective Owner consents otherwise, the application and the initial Premium
will be returned if the application cannot be put in good order within five
business days of such receipt.
Just like initial Premiums, Owners making subsequent Premium payments
should specify how they want their Premiums allocated. Otherwise the Company
will automatically process the Premium based on the most recent allocation on
record with the Company.
TRANSFER DURING ACCUMULATION PERIOD
During the Accumulation Period, the Owner may transfer Contract Values
among Portfolios, by written request or if the Owner makes such an election on
the Contract application, by telephone authorization. The Company has in place
procedures which are designed to provide reasonable assurance that telephone
authorizations are genuine, including tape recording of telephone communications
and requesting identifying information. Accordingly, the Company and its
affiliates disclaim all liability for any claim, loss or expense resulting from
any alleged error or mistake in connection with a telephone transfer which was
not properly authorized by the Owner. However, if the Company fails to employ
reasonable procedures to ensure that all telephone transfers are properly
authorized, the Company may be held liable for such losses. The Company reserves
the right to modify or discontinue at any time and without notice the use of
telephone transfers and accepting transfer instructions from someone other than
the Owner.
Telephone calls authorizing transfers must be completed by the close of
regular trading on the NYSE (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on a Valuation
Date in order to be effected at the price determined on such date. Transfer
authorizations, whether written or by telephone, which are received after such
close of regular trading will be processed as of the next Valuation Date.
A Transfer Fee may be assessed (See "Transfer Fee".) This transfer
privilege may be suspended, modified or terminated at any time without notice.
The minimum partial transfer amount is $100. Also, no partial transfer may
be made if the value of the Owner's interest in the Portfolio from which a
transfer is being
18
<PAGE> 23
made would be less than $100 after the transfer. The Company may waive the
minimum partial transfer amount in connection with pre-authorized automatic
transfer programs.
SEPARATE ACCOUNT ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUE
Accumulation Unit value is determined Monday through Friday on each day
that the NYSE is open for business.
A separate Accumulation Unit value is determined for each Portfolio. If the
Company elects or is required to assess a charge for taxes, a separate
Accumulation Unit value may be calculated for Contracts issued in connection
with Non-Qualified and Qualified Plans, respectively, within each Portfolio.
The Accumulation Unit value for each Portfolio will vary with the price of
a share in the corresponding Series and in accordance with the Mortality and
Expense Risk Charge, Administration Charge, and any provision for taxes.
Assessments of Withdrawal Charges, Transfer Fees and Contract Maintenance
Charges are effected by redemption of Accumulation Units and do not affect
Accumulation Unit value.
The Accumulation Unit Value of a Portfolio for any Valuation Period is
calculated by subtracting (2) from (1) and dividing the result by (3) where:
1) is the total value at the end of the given Valuation Period of the
assets attributable to the Accumulation Units of the Portfolio minus the
total liabilities;
2) is the cumulative unpaid charge for assumptions of Mortality and
Expense Risk Charge, and for Administration Charge; and
3) is the number of Accumulation Units outstanding at the end of the
given Valuation Period.
DISTRIBUTION OF CONTRACTS
Contracts are sold by registered representatives of broker-dealers who are
licensed insurance agents of the Company, either individually or through an
incorporated insurance agency. Commissions may vary, but are not anticipated to
exceed 8.00% of any Premium (including any promotional and sales incentives).
Under certain circumstances, certain sellers of the Contracts may be paid
persistency incentives which will take into account, among other things, the
length of time Premiums have been held under a Contract, and Contract Values. A
persistency incentive is not anticipated to exceed 1.50%, on an annual basis, of
the Contract Values considered in connection with the incentive. All such
commissions and incentives are paid by the Company.
Jackson National Financial Services, Inc., located at 5901 Executive Drive,
Lansing, Michigan 48911, serves as distributor of the Contract. Jackson National
Financial Services, Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and is
registered as a broker-dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, and is a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
WITHDRAWALS (REDEMPTIONS)
Except as explained below, an Owner may redeem a Contract for all or a
portion of its Contract Value during the Accumulation Period. Withdrawal Charges
may be applicable, however, which would reduce the Contract Value upon
redemption.
Withdrawals and distributions from Contracts issued in connection with
certain Qualified Plans may be subject to a mandatory 20% withholding
requirement, in addition, certain tax withdrawal penalties may apply (see
"Taxes").
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, separates from
service, 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 Qualified Plans. Tax penalties may
also apply. While the foregoing limitations only apply to certain Contracts
issued in connection with Section 403(b) Qualified Plans, all Owners should seek
competent tax advice regarding any withdrawals or distributions.
Except in connection with a Systematic Withdrawal Program, described below,
the minimum partial withdrawal amount is $500, or, if less, the Owner's entire
interest in the Portfolio from which a withdrawal is requested. The Owner's
interest in the Portfolio from which the withdrawal is requested must be at
least $100 after the withdrawal is completed.
A written withdrawal request or Systematic Withdrawal Program enrollment
form, as the case may be, must be sent to the Company at its Annuity Service
Center. The required program form will not be in good
19
<PAGE> 24
order unless it includes the Owner's Tax I.D. Number (e.g., Social Security
Number) and provides instructions regarding withholding of income taxes. The
Company provides the required forms.
The Company may also accept telephone requests for certain partial
withdrawals from Owners who elect this option either through the Contract
application or by completing a Telephone Redemption Authorization Form provided
by the Company. The Company reserves the right to impose maximum withdrawal
amounts and procedural requirements regarding this privilege. The proceeds of a
telephone withdrawal will be sent by check to the Owner at the address of record
only. Telephone calls authorizing withdrawals must be completed by the close of
regular trading on the NYSE (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on a Valuation
Date in order to be effected at the price determined on such date. The Company
reserves the right to terminate or modify the telephone withdrawal service at
any time.
If the request is for total withdrawal, the Contract, or a Lost Contract
Affidavit, must be submitted as well. The Withdrawal Value is determined on the
basis of the Contract Values next computed following receipt of a request in
proper order. The Withdrawal Value will normally be paid within seven days after
the day a proper request is received by the Company at its Annuity Service
Center. However, the Company may suspend the right of withdrawal from the
Separate Account or delay payment for such withdrawal more than seven days: (1)
during any period when the NYSE is closed (other than customary weekend and
holiday closings); (2) when trading on the NYSE is restricted or an emergency
exists as determined by the Securities and Exchange Commission so that disposal
of the Separate Account's investments or determination of Accumulation Unit
value is not reasonably practicable; or (3) for such other periods as the
Securities and Exchange Commission, by order, may permit for protection of
Owners.
SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL PROGRAM
A Contract Owner may elect in writing on a form provided by the Company to
take Systematic Withdrawals by surrendering a specified dollar amount (of at
least $50) on a monthly, quarterly, semiannual, or annual basis. Unless
otherwise directed by the Contract Owner, the Company will process the
withdrawals by surrendering on a pro-rata basis Accumulation Units from all
Portfolios in which the Contract Owner has an interest. A Withdrawal Charge may
apply to Systematic Withdrawals in accordance with the considerations under
"Withdrawal Charge." Each Systematic Withdrawal is subject to federal income
taxes on the taxable portion. In addition, a 10% federal penalty tax may be
assessed on Systematic Withdrawals if the Contract Owner is under age 59 1/2. If
directed by the Contract Owner, the Company will withhold federal taxes from
each Systematic Withdrawal. The Contract Owner may discontinue Systematic
Withdrawals at any time by notifying the Company in writing.
The Company reserves the right to discontinue offering Systematic
Withdrawals upon 30 days' written notice to Contract Owners; however, any such
discontinuation would not affect Systematic Withdrawal programs already
commenced. The Company also reserves the right to assess a processing fee for
this service.
ERISA PLANS
Spousal consent may be required when a married Owner seeks a distribution
from a Contract that has been issued in connection with a Qualified Plan (or a
Non-Qualified Plan that is subject to Title 1 of ERISA). Owners should obtain
competent legal and/or tax advice.
MINIMUM CONTRACT VALUE
If the Contract Value is less than $500 and no Premiums have been made
during the previous three full calendar years, the Company reserves the right,
after 60 days' written notice to the Owner, to terminate the Contract and
distribute its Withdrawal Value to the Owner. This privilege will be exercised
only if the Contract Value has been reduced to less than $500 as a result of
withdrawals, and state law permits. In no instance shall such termination occur
if the value has fallen below $500 due to either decline in Accumulation Unit
value or the imposition of fees and charges.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ANNUITY PERIOD
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ANNUITY DATE
The Owner selects an Annuity Date (the date on which annuity payments are
to begin) at the time of application. In selecting an Annuity Date, the Owner
may wish to consider the applicability of a Withdrawal Charge, which is imposed
upon Annuitizations which occur within one year of the Issue Date. Annuity
payments will begin no later than the Latest Annuity Date. If no Annuity Date is
selected, the Annuity Date will be the Latest Annuity Date. The Owner may change
the Annuity Date, at any time at least seven days prior to the Annuity Date then
indicated on the Company's records, by written notice to the Company at its
Annuity Service Center.
ANNUITY OPTIONS
The Owner, or any Beneficiary who is so entitled, may elect to receive a
lump sum at the end of the Accumulation Period. However, a lump sum distribution
may be deemed to be a withdrawal, and at least a portion of it may be subject to
applicable Contract charges and income tax. Alternatively, an Annuity Option may
be elected. The Owner may, upon prior written notice to the Company, elect an
Annuity Option at any time prior to the Annuity Date.
A change of Annuity Option is permitted if made at least 7 days before the
Annuity Date. If no other Annuity Option is elected, monthly annuity payments
will be made in accordance with Option 3 below, a Life annuity with a 120-month
period certain. Annuity payments will be made in monthly, quarterly, semi-annual
or annual installments as selected by the Owner. However, if the amount
available to apply under an Annuity Option is less than $5,000, and state law
permits, the Company has the right to pay the annuity in one lump sum. In
addition, if the first payment provided would be less than $50, and state law
permits, the Company shall have the right to require the frequency of payments
be at quarterly, semi-annual or annual intervals so as to result in an initial
payment of at least $50.
NO WITHDRAWALS OF CONTRACT VALUE ARE PERMITTED DURING THE ANNUITY PERIOD
FOR ANY ANNUITY OPTION UNDER WHICH PAYMENTS ARE BEING MADE PURSUANT TO LIFE
CONTINGENCIES.
The following Annuity Options are generally available under the Contract.
However, there may be restrictions in the retirement plan pursuant to which a
Contract has been purchased.
OPTION 1 -- LIFE INCOME
An annuity payable monthly during the lifetime of the Annuitant. Under this
Option, no further payments are payable after the death of the Annuitant and
there is no provision for a death benefit payable to the Beneficiary. Therefore,
it is possible under Option 1 for the payee to receive only one monthly annuity
payment under this Contract.
OPTION 2 -- JOINT AND SURVIVOR ANNUITY
An annuity payable monthly while both the Annuitant and a designated second
person are living. Upon the death of either person, the monthly income payable
will continue during the lifetime of the survivor at either the full amount
previously payable or as a percentage (either one-half or two-thirds) of the
full amount, as chosen at the time of election of this Option.
21
<PAGE> 26
Annuity payments terminate automatically and immediately upon the death of
the surviving person without regard to the number or total amount of payments
received.
There is no minimum number of guaranteed payments and it is possible to
have only one annuity payment if both the Annuitant and the designated second
person die before the due date of the second payment.
OPTION 3 -- LIFE ANNUITY WITH 120 OR 240 MONTHLY PAYMENTS GUARANTEED
An annuity payable monthly during the lifetime of the Annuitant, with the
guarantee that if, at the death of the Annuitant, payments have been made for
fewer than the guaranteed 120 or 240 monthly periods, as elected by the Owner,
the balance of the guaranteed number of payments will be made to the
Beneficiary.
OPTION 4 -- INCOME FOR A SPECIFIED PERIOD
Under this Option, as permitted by state law, a payee can elect an annuity
payable monthly for any period of years from 5 to 30. This election must be made
for full 12 month periods. In the event the payee dies before the specified
number of payments has been made, the Beneficiary may elect to continue
receiving the scheduled payments or may alternatively elect to receive the
discounted present value of any remaining guaranteed payments in a lump sum.
OTHER OPTIONS
At the sole discretion of the Company, other annuity options may be made
available. However, to the extent that Withdrawal Charges would otherwise apply
to a withdrawal or termination, the identical Withdrawal Charge may apply with
respect to any additional options.
22
<PAGE> 27
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ANNUITY PAYMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INITIAL MONTHLY ANNUITY PAYMENT
The initial annuity payment attributable to investment in a Portfolio is
determined by taking the Contract Value allocated to that Portfolio, less any
premium tax and any applicable Contract changes, and then applying it to the
annuity table specified in the Contract. Those tables are based on a set amount
per $1,000 of proceeds applied. 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 then 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 annuity payment. That amount is divided by the value of an
Annuity Unit as of the Annuity Date to establish the number of Annuity Units
representing each Variable Annuity payment. The number of Annuity Units
determined for the first Variable Annuity payment remains constant for the
second and subsequent monthly Variable Annuity payments, assuming that no
reallocation of Contract Values is made. The total Variable Annuity payment is
equal to the sum of the annuity payments as determined above for each Portfolio
to which Contract Value is allocated on the Annuity Date.
SUBSEQUENT MONTHLY PAYMENTS
The amount of the second and each subsequent monthly Variable Annuity
payment is determined by multiplying the number of Annuity Units, as determined
in connection with the determination of the initial monthly payment, above, by
the Annuity Unit Value as of the Valuation Period next preceding the date on
which each annuity payment is due.
ANNUITY UNIT VALUE
The initial value of an Annuity Unit of each Portfolio was set when the
Portfolios were established. The value may increase or decrease from one
Valuation Period to the next. The annuity tables contained in the Contract are
based on a 3.0% per annum assumed investment rate. If the actual net investment
rate experienced by a Portfolio exceeds 3.0%, Variable Annuity payments derived
from allocations to that Portfolio will increase over time. Conversely, if the
actual rate is less than 3.0%, Variable Annuity payments will decrease over
time. If the net investment rate equals 3.0%, the Variable Annuity payments will
remain constant. If a higher assumed investment rate had been used, the initial
monthly payment would be higher, but the actual net investment rate would also
have to be higher in order for annuity payments to increase (or not to
decrease).
The payee receives the value of a fixed number of Annuity Units each month.
The value of a fixed number of Annuity Units will reflect the investment
performance of the Portfolios elected, and the amount of each annuity payment
will vary accordingly.
For each Portfolio, the value of an Annuity Unit for any Valuation Period
is determined by multiplying the Annuity Unit Value for the immediately
preceding Valuation Period by the Net Investment Factor for the Valuation Period
for which the Annuity Unit Value is being calculated. The result is then
multiplied by a second factor which offsets the effect of the assumed net
investment rate of 3.0% per annum which is assumed in the annuity tables
contained in the Contract. The Net Investment Factor, which reflects changes in
the net asset value of the shares of the Series in which the Portfolio invests,
is described in greater detail in the Statement of Additional Information.

Please direct all service inquiries to the Company at (800) 766-4683. Be
sure to provide the policy number and Owner's name.
STATEMENTS AND REPORTS
The Company will mail to Contract Owners, at their last known address of
record, any statements and reports required by applicable law or regulation.
Contract Owners should therefore give the Company prompt notice of any address
change. The Company will send a confirmation statement to Contract Owners each
time a transaction is made affecting the Owner's Contract Value, such as making
additional Premiums, transfers, exchanges or withdrawals. Quarterly statements
are also mailed detailing the Contract activity during the calendar quarter.
Instead of
23
<PAGE> 28
receiving an immediate confirmation of transactions made pursuant to some
types of periodic payment plans (such as a Dollar Cost Averaging Program) or
salary reduction arrangement, the Contract Owner may receive confirmation of
such transactions in their quarterly statements. The Contract Owner should
review the information in these statements carefully. All errors or corrections
must be reported to the Company immediately to assure proper crediting to the
Owner's Contract. The Company will assume all transactions are accurate unless
the Contract Owner notifies the Company otherwise within thirty (30) days after
receipt of the statement. The Company will also send to Contract Owners such
additional reports and information as may be required by Federal securities
laws.
MARKET TIMING AND ASSET ALLOCATION SERVICES
Certain third parties offer market timing and asset allocation services in
connection with the Contracts. In certain situations, the Company will honor
transfer instructions from such third parties provided such market timing and
asset allocation services comply with the Company's administrative systems,
rules and procedures, which may be modified by the Company at any time. PLEASE
NOTE that fees and charges assessed for such market timing and asset allocation
services are separate and distinct from the Contract fees and charges set forth
herein. The Company neither recommends nor discourages such market timing and
asset allocation services.

TAXES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: INFORMATION CONTAINED HEREIN SHOULD NOT BE SUBSTITUTED FOR THE ADVICE
OF A PERSONAL TAX ADVISER. THE COMPANY DOES NOT MAKE ANY GUARANTEE REGARDING THE
TAX STATUS OF ANY CONTRACT OR ANY TRANSACTION INVOLVING THE CONTRACTS.
GENERAL
Section 72 of the Code governs 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 non-annuity distribution or as
annuity payments under the Annuity Option elected. For a lump sum payment
received as a total surrender (total redemption), the recipient is taxed on the
portion of the payment that exceeds the cost basis of the Contract. For a
payment received as a withdrawal (partial redemption), Federal tax liability is
determined on a last-in, first-out basis, meaning taxable income is withdrawn
before the cost basis of the Contract is withdrawn. For Contracts issued in
connection with Non-Qualified Plans, the cost basis is generally the Premiums,
while for Contracts issued in connection with Qualified Plans there may be no
cost basis. The taxable portion of the lump sum payment 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. 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 number of years over which the annuity is expected to be paid. Payments
received after the investment in the Contract has been recovered (i.e. when the
total of the excludable amounts equal the investment in the Contract) are fully
taxable. The taxable portion is taxed at ordinary income tax rates. Owners,
Annuitants and Beneficiaries under the Contracts should seek competent financial
advice about the tax consequences of distributions under the retirement plan for
which the Contracts are purchased.
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 thirty (30%)
percent 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 recipient's gross
income.
The Company is taxed as a life insurance company under the Code. For
Federal income tax purposes, the Separate Account is not a separate entity from
the Company and its operations form a part of the Company.
WITHHOLDING TAX ON DISTRIBUTIONS
The Code generally requires the Company (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 Qualified Plans, 20% of
24
<PAGE> 29
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. Withholding
on other types of distributions can be waived.
An "eligible rollover distribution" is the estimated taxable portion of any
amount received by a covered employee from a plan qualified under Section 401(a)
or 403(a) of the Code, or from a tax sheltered annuity qualified under Section
403(b) of the Code (other than (1) annuity payments 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; and (2) minimum distributions required to be made under the
Code). Failure to "rollover" the entire amount of an eligible rollover
distribution (including an 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 estimated 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 3 withholding exemptions.
DIVERSIFICATION -- SEPARATE ACCOUNT INVESTMENTS
Section 817(h) of the Code imposes certain diversification standards on the
underlying assets of 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 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 close of each calendar quarter, the underlying assets
meet the diversification standards for a regulated investment company, and no
more than 55% of the total assets consist of cash, cash items, U.S. government
securities and securities of other regulated investment companies.
The Treasury Department has issued Regulations establishing diversification
requirements for the investment portfolios underlying variable contracts such as
the Contract. The 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 the Regulations, an investment portfolio
will be deemed adequately diversified if (1) no more than 55% of the value of
the total assets of the portfolio is represented by any one investment; (2) no
more than 70% of the value of the total assets of the portfolio is represented
by any two investments; (3) no more than 80% of the value of the total assets of
the portfolio is represented by any three investments; and (4) no more than 90%
of the value of the total assets of the portfolio is represented by any four
investments.
The Company intends that each Series of the Underlying Funds will be
managed by its respective investment adviser in such a manner as to comply with
these diversification requirements.
The Treasury Department has indicated that the diversification Regulations
do not provide guidance regarding the circumstances in which Contract Owner
control of the investments of the Separate Account will cause the Contract Owner
to be treated as the owner of the assets of the Separate Account, thereby
resulting in the loss of favorable tax treatment for the Contract. At this time
it cannot be determined whether additional guidance will be provided and what
standards may be contained in such guidance.
The amount of Contract Owner control which may be exercised under the
Contract is different in some respects from the situations addressed in
published rulings issued by the Internal Revenue Service in which it was held
that the policy owner was not the owner of the assets of the separate account.
It is unknown whether these differences, such as the Contract Owner's ability to
transfer among investment choices or the number and type of investment choices
available, would cause the Contract Owner to be considered as the owner of the
assets of the Separate Account resulting in the imposition of federal income tax
to the Contract Owner with respect to earnings allocable to the Contract prior
to receipt of payments under the Contract.
In the event any forthcoming guidance or ruling is considered to set forth
a new position, such guidance or ruling will generally be applied only
prospectively.
25
<PAGE> 30
However, if such ruling or guidance was not considered to set forth a new
position, it may be applied retroactively resulting in the Contract Owner being
retroactively determined to be the owner of the assets of the Separate Account.
Due to the uncertainty in this area, the Company reserves the right to
modify the Contract in any attempt to maintain favorable tax treatment.
MULTIPLE CONTRACTS
The Code provides that multiple annuity contracts which 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. The Company believes that Congress intended to affect the purchase of
multiple deferred annuity contracts which may have been purchased to avoid
withdrawal income tax treatment. Owners should consult a tax adviser prior to
purchasing more than one annuity contract in any calendar year.
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 Contract 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. 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 Qualified
Plans. Purchasers should consult their own tax counsel or other tax adviser
before purchasing a Contract to be owned by a non-qualified person.
TAX TREATMENT OF ASSIGNMENTS
An assignment of a Contract may have tax consequences, and may also be
prohibited by ERISA in some circumstances. Owners should, therefore, consult
competent legal advisers should they wish to assign their Contracts.
QUALIFIED PLANS
The Contracts offered by this Prospectus are designed to be suitable for
use under various types of Qualified Plans. Taxation of Owners in each 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
Qualified Plan 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.
For a more detailed description of the various types of plans under which the
Contracts may be purchased, see the Statement of Additional Information.
TAX TREATMENT OF WITHDRAWALS
QUALIFIED PLANS
Section 72(t) of the Code imposes a 10% penalty tax on the taxable portion
of any early distribution from qualified retirement plans, including contracts
issued and qualified under Code Sections 401 (H.R. 10 and Corporate Pension and
Profit Sharing Plans), 403(b) (tax-sheltered annuities) and 408(b) (IRAs).
The tax penalty will not apply to the following distributions: (1) if
distribution is 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 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; and
(6) distributions made to an alternate payee pursuant to a qualified domestic
relations order.
The exceptions stated in items (4), (5) and (6) above do not apply in the
case of an IRA.
Limitations imposed by the Code on withdrawals from tax-sheltered annuities
are described above under "Purchases, Withdrawals and Contract Value --
Withdrawals (Redemptions)."
The taxable portion of a withdrawal or distribution from Contracts issued
under certain types of plans may, under some circumstances, be "rolled over"
into another eligible plan so as to continue to defer income tax on the taxable
portion. Effective January 1, 1993, such treatment is available for any
"eligible rollover distribution" made by certain types of plans (as described
above under "Taxes -- Withholding Tax on Distributions") that is transferred
26
<PAGE> 31
within 60 days of receipt into a plan qualified under section 401(a) or 403(a)
of the Code, a tax-sheltered annuity, an IRA, or an individual retirement
account described in section 408(a) of the Code. 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,
individual retirements accounts or certain other plans, subject to limitations
set forth in the Code.
NON-QUALIFIED PLANS
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 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); (4) in a series of substantially equal periodic payments made at least
annually for the life of the taxpayer or for the joint lives 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.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ADVERTISING
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Company may from time to time advertise several types of historical
performance for the Portfolios of the Separate Account.
The Company may advertise for the Portfolios standardized "average annual
total return", calculated in a manner prescribed by the Securities and Exchange
Commission, and non-standardized "total return". "Average annual total return"
will show the percentage rate of return of a hypothetical initial investment of
$1,000 for at least the most recent one, five and ten year period, or for a
period covering the time the mutual fund held in the Portfolio has been in
existence, if the Portfolio has not been in existence for one of the prescribed
periods. This calculation reflects the deduction of all applicable charges made
to the Contracts except for premium taxes, which may be imposed by certain
states.
Nonstandardized total return may be for periods other than those required
to be presented or may otherwise differ from standardized total return.
If a Series or mutual fund has been in existence for a longer period of
time than the corresponding Portfolio, the standardized average annual total
return and non-standardized total return quotations will show the investment
performance such Series or mutual fund would have achieved (reduced by the
applicable charges) had they been held in a Portfolio for the period quoted.
A "yield" may also be advertised for a Portfolio (other than the PPM
America/JNL Money Market Portfolio). "Yield" refers to the annualized income
generated by an investment in the Portfolio over a specified thirty-day period.
The "yield" is calculated by assuming that the income generated by the
investment during that thirty-day period is generated each thirty-day period
over a twelve-month period and is shown as a percentage of the investment.
A "yield" and "effective yield" may also be advertised for the PPM
America/JNL Money Market Portfolio. "Yield" is a measure of the net dividend and
interest income earned over a specific seven-day period (which period will be
stated in the advertisement) expressed as a percentage of the offering price of
the Portfolio's units. Yield is an annualized figure, which means that it is
assumed that the Portfolio generates the same level of net income over a 52-week
period. The "effective yield" is calculated under rules prescribed by the
Securities and Exchange Commission and assumes a weekly reinvestment of income
earned. The effective yield will be slightly higher than the yield due to this
compounding effect.
The Company may also from time to time advertise the performance of the
Portfolios of the Separate Account relative to the performance of variable
annuities or mutual funds of other companies with similar or different
objectives, or the investment industry as a whole. Other investments to which
the Portfolios may be compared include, but are not limited to: precious metals;
real estate; stocks and bonds; closed-end funds; CD's; bank money market deposit
accounts and passbook savings; and the Consumer Price Index.
The Portfolios of the Separate Account may also be compared to certain
market indexes, which may include, but are not limited to: S&P 500;
Shearson/Lehman Intermediate Government/Corporate Bond Index; Shearson/Lehman
Long-Term Government/Corporate Bond Index; Donoghue Money Fund Average; U.S.
Treasury Note Index; Bank Rate Monitor National Index of 2 1/2 Year CD Rates;
and Dow Jones Industrial Average.
Normally these rankings and ratings are published by independent tracking
services and publications of general interest including, but not limited to:
Lipper Analytical Services, Inc., CDA Technologies, Morningstar, Donoghue's,
Weisenberger; magazines such as Money, Forbes, Kiplinger's Personal Finance
Magazine, Financial World, Consumer Reports, Business Week, Time, Newsweek, U.S.
News & World Report, National Underwriter; rating services such as LIMRA, Value,
Best's Agent Guide, Western Annuity Guide, Comparative Annuity Reports; and
other publications such as the Wall Street Journal, Barron's, Investor's Daily,
and Standard & Poor's Outlook. In addition, Variable Annuity Research & Data
Service (The VARDS Report) is an independent rating service that ranks over 500
variable annuity funds based upon total return performance. These rating
services and publications rank the performance of the Series against all funds
over specified periods and against funds in specified categories. The rankings
may or may not include the effects of sales or other charges.
The Company is also ranked and rated by independent financial rating
services, among which are Standard & Poor's, A. M. Best Company and Duff &
Phelps. The purpose of these ratings is to reflect the financial strength or
claims-paying ability of the Company. The ratings are not intended to reflect
the investment experience or financial strength of the Separate Account. The
28
<PAGE> 33
Company may advertise these ratings from time to time. In addition, the Company
may include in certain advertisements, endorsements in the form of a list of
organizations, individuals or other parties which recommend the Company or the
Contracts. Furthermore, the Company may occasionally include in advertisements
comparisons of currently taxable and tax deferred investment programs, based on
selected tax brackets, or discussions of alternative investment vehicles and
general economic conditions. All performance information and comparative
material advertised by the Company is historical in nature and is not intended
to represent or guarantee future results. A CONTRACT OWNER'S CONTRACT VALUE AT
REDEMPTION MAY BE MORE OR LESS THAN ORIGINAL COST.

GENERAL ACCOUNT
Because of exemptive and exclusionary provisions, interests in the General
Account have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 ("1933 Act"),
nor is the General Account registered as an investment company under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 ("1940 Act"). Accordingly, neither the General
Account nor any interest therein is generally subject to the provisions of the
1933 or 1940 Acts, and the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission,
typically, does not review the disclosures in a prospectus which relate to the
General Account portion. Disclosures regarding the General Account portion of
the Contract may be subject to certain generally applicable provisions of the
Federal securities laws relating to accuracy and completeness of statements made
in prospectuses.
Investors should review Jackson National Life Insurance Company's Contract
for a full description of the General Account portion of the Contract. Any
questions regarding these Contracts should be directed to the Company's Annuity
Service Center.

APPENDIX B
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Below are the investment objectives of each Series of the Underlying Funds
available through the Separate Account. There can be no assurance that any
Series will achieve its investment objectives.
JNL SERIES TRUST
The JNL Series Trust (the "Trust") is an open-end management investment
company created under the laws of Massachusetts, by a Declaration of Trust,
dated June 1, 1994. Shares of the Trust will be sold primarily to life insurance
companies to fund the benefits under variable insurance or annuity policies.
Jackson National Financial Services, Inc. ("JNFSI"), a wholly owned subsidiary
of Jackson National Life Insurance Company, serves as investment adviser for all
the Series of the Trust. Janus Capital Corporation ("Janus Capital") serves as
sub-adviser for JNL Aggressive Growth, JNL Capital Growth and JNL Global
Equities Series; Fred Alger Management, Inc. ("Alger Management") serves as
sub-adviser for the JNL/Alger Growth Series; Phoenix Investment Counsel, Inc.
("PIC") serves as sub-adviser for the JNL/Phoenix Investment Counsel Balanced
and JNL/Phoenix Investment Counsel Growth Series; PPM America, Inc. ("PPM")
serves as sub-adviser for the PPM America/JNL High Yield Bond, PPM America/JNL
Money Market and PPM America/JNL Value Equity Series; Salomon Brothers Asset
Management Inc ("Salomon Brothers") serves as sub-adviser for the Salomon
Brothers/JNL Global Bond and Salomon Brothers/JNL U.S. Government & Quality Bond
Series; T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. ("T. Rowe") serves as sub-adviser for the
T. Rowe Price/JNL Established Growth and T. Rowe Price/JNL Mid-Cap Growth
Series; and Rowe Price-Fleming International, Inc. ("Price-Fleming") serves as
sub-adviser for the T. Rowe Price/JNL International Equity Investment Series.
JNL AGGRESSIVE GROWTH SERIES is a non-diversified Series that seeks as its
investment objective long-term growth of capital by investing primarily in
common stocks of issuers of any size, including larger, well-established
companies and smaller, emerging growth companies.
JNL CAPITAL GROWTH SERIES is a non-diversified Series that seeks as its
investment objective long-term growth of capital by emphasizing investments in
common stocks of companies with an average market capitalization between $1
billion and $5 billion. Although the Series expects to emphasize such
securities, it may also invest in smaller or larger companies.
JNL GLOBAL EQUITIES SERIES seeks as its investment objective long-term
growth of capital by investing primarily in common stocks of foreign and
domestic issuers of any size. This Series normally invests in issuers from at
least five different countries including the United States.
JNL/ALGER GROWTH SERIES seeks as its investment objective long-term capital
appreciation by investing in a diversified, actively managed portfolio of equity
securities, primarily of companies with total market capitalization of $1
billion or greater.
JNL/PHOENIX INVESTMENT COUNSEL BALANCED SERIES seeks as its investment
objective reasonable income, long-term capital growth and preservation of
capital. It is intended that this Series will invest in common stocks and fixed
income securities, with emphasis on income-producing securities which appear to
have some potential for capital enhancement.
JNL/PHOENIX INVESTMENT COUNSEL GROWTH SERIES seeks as its investment
objective long-term appreciation of capital. Since income is not an objective,
any income generated by the investment of this Series' assets will be incidental
to its objective. It is intended that this Series will invest primarily in the
common stocks of companies believed by the sub-adviser to have appreciation
potential.
PPM AMERICA/JNL HIGH YIELD BOND SERIES seeks as its investment objective a
high level of current income; its secondary investment objective is capital
appreciation by investing in fixed-income securities, with emphasis on
higher-yielding, higher-risk, lower-rated or unrated corporate bonds.
PPM AMERICA/JNL MONEY MARKET SERIES seeks as its investment objective as
high a level of current income as is consistent with the preservation of capital
and maintenance of liquidity by investing in high quality, short-term money
market instruments.
PPM AMERICA/JNL VALUE EQUITY SERIES seeks as its investment objective a
high total return by investing in common stocks which the sub-adviser believes
to be undervalued relative to the stock market in general at the time of
purchase.
B-1
<PAGE> 38
SALOMON BROTHERS/JNL GLOBAL BOND SERIES seeks as its investment objective a
high level of current income. As a secondary objective, the Series will seek
capital appreciation. The Series seeks to achieve its objectives by investing in
a globally diverse portfolio of fixed income investments and by giving the
sub-adviser broad discretion to deploy the Series assets among certain segments
of the fixed income market that the sub-adviser believes will best contribute to
achievement of the Series' investment objectives. In pursuing its investment
objectives, the Series reserves the right to invest predominantly in securities
rated in medium or lower rated categories or as determined by the sub-adviser to
be of comparable quality. Although the Series has the ability to invest up to
100% of the Series' assets in lower-rated securities, the Series does not
anticipate investing in excess of 75% of the Series' assets in such securities.
SALOMON BROTHERS/JNL U.S. GOVERNMENT & QUALITY BOND SERIES seeks as its
investment objective a high level of current income, by investing primarily in
debt obligations and mortgage-backed securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S.
Government, its agencies or instrumentalities including collateralized mortgage
obligations backed by such securities. The Series may also invest a portion of
its assets in investment-grade bonds.
T. ROWE PRICE/JNL ESTABLISHED GROWTH SERIES seeks as its investment
objective long-term growth of capital and increasing dividend income through
investment primarily in common stocks of well-established growth companies.
T. ROWE PRICE/JNL INTERNATIONAL EQUITY INVESTMENT SERIES seeks as its
investment objective long-term growth of capital through investments primarily
in common stocks of established, non-U.S. companies.
T. ROWE PRICE/JNL MID-CAP GROWTH SERIES seeks as its investment objective
long-term growth of capital by investing primarily in the common stock of
companies with medium-sized market capitalizations ("mid-cap") and the potential
for above average growth.

EXAMPLES OF CALCULATION OF WITHDRAWAL CHARGE
EXAMPLE 1 -- Assume a single premium of $50,000 is paid into the contract,
no transfers are made, no additional premiums are paid and there are no partial
withdrawals. The table below illustrates three examples of the Withdrawal
Charges that would be imposed if the contract is completely surrendered, based
on hypothetical contract values.

NOTES:
(1) Earnings exceed 10% of unliquidated premium, accordingly there was no
Additional Free Withdrawal amount.
(2) Earnings could be withdrawn free of Withdrawal Charges.
(3) The Additional Free Withdrawal amount is 10% of unliquidated premium
($5,000) less earnings ($4,000), giving a total Free Withdrawal amount of
$5,000.
(4) The Additional Free Withdrawal amount is treated as an advance of earnings,
accordingly only $2,000 is liquidated.
(5) The Withdrawal Charge is liquidated premium multiplied by the Withdrawal
Charge.
(6) Earnings is the difference between the Contract Value and unliquidated
premium.
(7) If the contract was fully surrendered shortly after the partial withdrawal,
then the Withdrawal Charge would be 3% of $4,800 ($144).
(8) There were no premium payments made in the last seven years, accordingly
there would be no Additional Free Withdrawal amount.
(9) There is no Withdrawal Charge on premium payments made over seven years ago.

and the Separate Account, maintains records of the name, address, taxpayer
identification number, and other pertinent information for each Contract Owner
and the number and type of Contract issued to each Contract Owner, and records
with respect to the Contract Value of each Contract.
The Custodian of the assets of the Separate Account is the Company. The
Company maintains a record of all purchases and redemptions of shares of the
underlying mutual funds.

Price Waterhouse LLP, 100 East Wisconsin Avenue, Milwaukee, Wisconsin
53202, audits and reports on the Company's financial statements, including the
financial statements of the Separate Account, and perform other professional
accounting, auditing and advisory services when engaged to do so by the
Company.
PURCHASE OF SECURITIES BEING OFFERED
The Contracts will be sold by licensed insurance agents in the states
where the Contracts may be lawfully sold. Such agents will be registered
representatives of broker-dealers registered under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 who are members of the National Association of Securities Dealers,
Inc., ("NASD").
UNDERWRITERS
The Contracts, which are offered continuously, are distributed by Jackson
National Financial Services, Inc. ("JNFSI"), 5901 Executive Drive, Lansing,
Michigan 48911, a subsidiary of the Company.
CALCULATION OF PERFORMANCE
All performance advertising (except for performance advertising
pertaining to the PPM America/JNL Money Market Portfolio) will include
quotations of standardized total return, calculated in accordance with standard
methods prescribed by rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, to
facilitate comparison with standardized total return advertised by other
variable annuity separate accounts. Standardized total return advertised for a
specific period is found by first taking a hypothetical $1,000 investment in
each of the Portfolios' units on the first day of the period at the offering
price, which is the Accumulation Unit value per unit ("initial investment") and
computing the ending redeemable value ("redeemable value") of that investment
at the end of the period. The redeemable value is then divided by the initial
investment which is then expressed as a percentage, carried to at least the
nearest hundredth of a percent. Standardized total return reflects the
deduction of a Contract Maintenance Charge and a Mortality
2
<PAGE> 42
and Expense Risk and Administration Charge. The redeemable value also reflects
the effect of any applicable Withdrawal Charge that may be imposed at the end
of the period. No deduction is made for premium taxes which may be assessed by
certain states. The standardized total return for each Portfolio (except the
PPM America/JNL Money Market Portfolio) for the period from commencement of
operations of the corresponding Series of the JNL Series Trust to December 31,
1995, is as follows:
<TABLE>

</TABLE>
* Corresponding Series of JNL Series Trust commenced operations on May 15,

** Corresponding Series of JNL Series Trust commenced operations on October 16,
1995.
Nonstandardized total return may also be advertised. Nonstandardized
total return may be for periods other than those required to be presented or
may otherwise differ from standardized total return. Because the Contract is
designed for long term investment, nonstandardized total return that does not
reflect the deduction of the Withdrawal Charge may be advertised. Reflecting
the deduction of the Withdrawal Charge decreases the level of performance
advertised. Nonstandardized total return may also assume a larger initial
investment which more closely approximates the size of a typical Contract. The
nonstandardized total return for each Portfolio (except the PPM America/JNL
Money Market Portfolio), calculated in a manner similar to standardized
total return but assuming a hypothetical initial investment of $10,000,
deducting a maximum $35 Contract Maintenance Charge, and without deducting the
Withdrawal Charge, for the period from

</TABLE>
* Corresponding Series of the JNL Series Trust commenced operations on May 15,
1995.
** Corresponding Series of the JNL Series Trust commenced operations on October
16, 1995.
The standardized 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 the standardized
total return and the nonstandardized total return will be based on the
rolling calendar quarters and will cover at least periods of one, five, and ten
years, or a period covering the time the Portfolio has been in existence, if it
has not been in existence for one of the prescribed periods. If a Series has
been in existence for longer than the corresponding Portfolio, the standardized
total return and nonstandardized total return quotations will show the
investment performance such Series would have achieved (reduced by the
applicable charges) had they been held in a Portfolio for the period quoted.
Quotations of standardized total return and nonstandardized total return
are based upon historical earnings and will fluctuate. Any quotation of
performance, therefore, should not be considered a guarantee of future
performance. Factors affecting the performance of a Series include general
market conditions, operating expenses and investment management. A Contract
Owner's withdrawal value upon surrender of a Contract may be more or less than
original cost.
The current annualized yield for 30-day periods may also be advertised for
the JNL/Phoenix Investment Counsel Balanced Portfolio, the PPM America/JNL High
Yield Bond Portfolio, the Salomon Brothers/JNL Global Bond Portfolio and the
Salomon Brothers/JNL U.S. Government & Quality Bond Portfolio. The annualized
yield of a Portfolio refers to the income generated by the Portfolio over a
specified 30-day period. Because this yield is annualized, the yield generated
by a Portfolio 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:
4
<PAGE> 44
6
YIELD = 2[ ((a - b) + 1) - 1]
----------
cd
Where:
a = net investment income earned during the period by the Series.
b = expenses for the Portfolio accrued for the period (net of
reimbursements).
c = the average daily number of shares outstanding during the period.
d = the maximum offering price per share 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.
The yield for the 30-day period ended December 31, 1995, for each of the
above-referenced Portfolios is as follows:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
JNL/Phoenix Investment Counsel Balanced Portfolio 0.83%
PPM America/JNL High Yield Bond Portfolio 7.61%
Salomon Brothers/JNL Global Bond Portfolio 7.81%
Salomon Brothers/JNL U.S. Government & Quality Bond Portfolio 4.87%
</TABLE>
Because of the charges and deductions imposed by the Separate Account, the
yield for the Portfolio will be lower than the yield for the corresponding
Series. The yield on amounts held in the Portfolios 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. A
Portfolio's actual yield will be affected by the types and quality of portfolio
securities held by the Series and its operating expenses.
Any current yield quotations of the PPM America/JNL Money Market
Portfolio, subject to Rule 482 of the Securities Act of 1933, shall consist of
a seven calendar day historical yield, carried at least to the nearest
hundredth of a percent. The yield shall 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 Contract Owner Accounts, and dividing the net change in account value by
the value of the account at the beginning of the
5
<PAGE> 45
period to obtain a base period return and multiplying the base period return by
(365/7). The PPM America/JNL Money Market Portfolio's yield and effective
yield is computed similarly but includes the effect of assumed compounding on
an annualized basis of the current yield quotations of the Portfolio. The PPM
America/JNL Money Market Portfolio's yield and effective yield for the seven
day period ended December 31, 1995 were 2.91% and 2.95%, respectively.
The PPM America/JNL Money Market Portfolio's yield and effective yield
will fluctuate daily. Actual yields will depend on factors such as the type of
instruments in the Series' portfolio, portfolio quality and average maturity,
changes in interest rates, and the Series' expenses. Although the
corresponding Portfolio 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 Series' 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 net asset values will remain constant. It
should be noted that neither a Contract Owner's investment in the PPM
America/JNL Money Market Portfolio nor that Portfolio's investment in the PPM
America/JNL Money Market Series, is guaranteed or insured. Yield of other
money market funds may not be comparable if a different base or another method
of calculation is used.
ADDITIONAL TAX INFORMATION
The following are general descriptions of the types of Qualified Plans
with which the Contracts may be used. Such descriptions are not exhaustive and
are for general information purposes only. The tax rules regarding 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 Qualified Plan.
Contracts issued pursuant to Qualified Plans include special provisions
restricting Contract provisions that may otherwise be available and described
in this Prospectus. Generally, Contracts issued pursuant to 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 Qualified Plan Contracts.
(A) H.R. 10 PLANS
Section 401 of the Code permits self-employed individuals to
establish Qualified Plans for themselves and their employees, commonly
referred to as "H.R. 10" or "Keogh" Plans. Contributions made to the
Plan for the benefit of the employees will not be included in the gross
income of the employees until distributed from the Plan. The tax
consequences to Owners may vary depending upon the particular Plan
design. However, the Code places limitations and restrictions on all
Plans on such items as: amounts of
6
<PAGE> 46
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,
withdrawals and surrenders. Purchasers of Contracts for use with an H.R.
10 Plan should obtain competent tax advice as to the tax treatment and
suitability of such an investment.
(B) 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. Any employee should obtain competent tax advice as to the
tax treatment and suitability of such an investment.
(C) 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"). Under applicable limitations, certain
amounts may be contributed to an IRA which will be deductible from the
individual's gross income. These IRAs are subject to limitations on
eligibility, contributions, transferability and distributions. Sales of
Contracts for use with IRAs are subject to special requirements imposed
by the Code, including the requirement that certain informational
disclosure be given to persons desiring to establish an IRA. Purchasers
of Contracts to be qualified as IRAs should obtain competent tax advice
as to the tax treatment and suitability of such an investment.
(D) CORPORATE PENSION AND PROFIT-SHARING PLANS
Sections 401(a) and 401(k) of the Code permit corporate employers to
establish various types of 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, withdrawals and
surrenders. Purchasers of Contracts
7
<PAGE> 47
for use with corporate pension or profit sharing plans should obtain
competent tax advice as to the tax treatment and suitability of such an
investment.
(E) NON-QUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLANS -- SECTION 457
Under Section 457 of the Code, governmental and certain other
tax-exempt employers may establish, for the benefit of their employees,
deferred compensation plans which may invest in annuity contracts. The
Code, as in the case of qualified plans, establishes limitations and
restrictions on eligibility, contributions and distributions. Under these
plans, contributions made for the benefit of the employees will not be
included in the employees' gross income until distributed from the plan.
However, under a 457 plan all the plan assets shall remain solely the
property of the employer, subject only to the claims of the employer's
general creditor until such time as made available to an Owner or a
Beneficiary.
ANNUITY PAYMENTS; NET INVESTMENT FACTOR
See "Annuity Payments" on page 20 of the Prospectus.
The Net Investment Factor is an index applied to measure the net
investment performance of a Portfolio from one Valuation Date to the next.
Since the Net Investment Factor may be greater or less than or equal to one,
and the factor that offsets the 3% investment rate assumed is slightly less
than one, the value of an Annuity Unit (which changes with the product of that
factor) and the net investment may increase, decrease or remain the same.
The Net Investment Factor for any Portfolio for any Valuation Period is
determined by dividing (a) by (b) and then subtracting (c) from the result
where:
(a) is the net result of:
(1) the net asset value of a Series share held in the
Portfolio 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 Series 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 the Company during the Valuation
Period which are determined by the Company to be attributable
to the operation of the Portfolio (no federal income taxes are
applicable under present law );
8
<PAGE> 48
(b) is the net asset value of the Series share held in the
Portfolio determined as of the Valuation Date at the end of the
preceding Valuation Period; and
(c) is the asset charge factor determined by the Company for the
Valuation Period to reflect the charges for assuming the mortality
and expense risks and the administration charge.

JACKSON NATIONAL SEPARATE ACCOUNT - I
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1995
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION
Jackson National Life Insurance Company (JNL) established Jackson National
Separate Account - I (the Separate Account) on October 16, 1995, pursuant to
the laws of the State of Michigan. The Separate Account commenced operations
on October 16, 1995 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940
as a unit investment trust. The Separate Account receives and invests net
premiums for individual flexible premium variable annuity contracts issued by
JNL. The contracts can be purchased on a non-tax qualified basis or in
connection with certain plans qualifying for favorable federal income tax
treatment. The Separate Account contains fourteen Divisions, each of which
invests in the following corresponding portfolios of the JNL Series Trust (the
Funds):
JNL Aggressive Growth Portfolio
JNL Capital Growth Portfolio
JNL Global Equities Portfolio
JNL/Alger Growth Portfolio
JNL/Phoenix Investment Counsel Balanced Portfolio
JNL/Phoenix Investment Counsel Growth Portfolio
PPM America/JNL High Yield Bond Portfolio
PPM America/JNL Money Market Portfolio
PPM America/JNL Value Equity Portfolio
Salomon Brothers/JNL Global Bond Portfolio
Salomon Brothers/JNL U.S. Government & Quality Bond Portfolio
T. Rowe Price/JNL Established Growth Portfolio
T. Rowe Price/JNL International Equity Investment Portfolio
T. Rowe Price/JNL Mid-Cap Growth Portfolio
NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the
Separate Account in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies
are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and
<PAGE> 56
- 2 -
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Investments
The Separate Account's investments in the Funds of the JNL Series Trust are
stated at the net asset values of the respective Funds. The average cost
method is used in determining the cost of the shares sold on withdrawals by the
Separate Account. Fund share transactions are recorded on trade date (same as
settlement date). The Funds follow the accounting practice known as consent
dividending, whereby all of its net investment income and realized gains are
treated as being distributed daily to the Separate Account and are immediately
reinvested in the Funds.
Federal Income Taxes
The operations of the Separate Account are included in the federal income tax
return of JNL, which is taxed as a "life insurance company" under the
provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. JNL anticipates no tax liability
resulting from the operations of the Separate Account. Therefore, no federal
income tax has been provided.
NOTE 3 - POLICY CHARGES
Charges are deducted from the Separate Account to compensate JNL for providing
the insurance benefits set forth in the contracts, administering the contracts,
distributing the contracts and assuming certain risks in connection with the
contract.
Contract Maintenance Charge
An annual contract maintenance charge of $35 is charged against each contract
to reimburse JNL for expenses incurred in establishing and maintaining records
relating to the contract. The contract maintenance charge is assessed on each
anniversary of the contract date that occurs on or prior to the annuity date.
The charge is deducted by redeeming shares. For the period ended December 31,
1995, no contract maintenance charges were assessed.
<PAGE> 57
- 3 -
Transfer Fee Charge
A transfer fee of $25 will apply to transfers in excess of 15 transfers in a
contract year. JNL may waive the transfer fee in connection with
pre-authorized automatic transfer programs, or in those states where a lesser
fee is required.
This fee will be deducted from contract values which remain in the portfolio(s)
from which the transfers were made. If such remaining contract value is
insufficient to pay the transfer fee, then the fee will be deducted from
transferred contract values. For the period ended December 31, 1995, no
transfer fees were assessed.
Surrender or Contingent Deferred Sales Charge
During the first contract years, certain contracts include a provision for a
charge upon the surrender or partial surrender of the contract. The amount
assessed under the contract terms, if any, depends upon the cost associated
with distributing the particular contracts. The amount, if any, depends on a
number of factors, including the amount withdrawn, the contract year of
surrender, or the number and amount of withdrawals in a calendar year. For the
period ended December 31, 1995, no contracts were assessed this charge.
Administration Charge
JNL deducts a daily charge for administrative expenses from the net assets of
the Separate Account equivalent to an annual rate of 0.15%. The
administration charge is designed to reimburse JNL for administrative expenses
related to the Separate Account and the issuance and maintenance of contracts.
Mortality and Expense Charge
A daily charge is made for the mortality and expense risks assumed by JNL. JNL
deducts a daily charge from the net assets of the Separate Account equivalent
to an annual rate of 1.25% for the assumption of mortality and expense risks.
The mortality risk assumed by JNL is that the insured may receive benefits
greater than those anticipated by JNL. The expense risk assumed by JNL is that
the costs of administering the contracts of the Separate Account will exceed
the amount received from the administration charge and the contract maintenance
charge.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and the related
consolidated statements of operations, of stockholder's equity and of cash
flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Jackson National Life Insurance Company and subsidiaries (the "Company") at
December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of their operations and their cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for the
opinion expressed above.

JACKSON NATIONAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1995
________________________________________________________________________________
1. DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS
Jackson National Life Insurance Company, Inc. ("the Company" or "JNL") is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Brooke Life Insurance Company ("Brooke Life" or
the "Parent") and is ultimately a wholly-owned subsidiary of Prudential
Corporation, plc ("Prudential"), London, England. JNL is licensed to sell
individual annuity products and individual life insurance products in 48
states and the District of Columbia.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
Effective December 31, 1995, Jackson National Life Insurance Company of
Michigan ("JNL-M"), a former wholly-owned subsidiary, was merged into its
parent, Jackson National Life Insurance Company.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include JNL and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries, Chrissy Corporation, an advertising agency;
Jackson National Financial Services, Inc., an investment advisor and broker
dealer, and Jackson National Life Distributors, Inc., a limited broker
dealer. The Company also consolidates Jackson National Compania De Seguros
De Vida S.A. ("Argentina"), a Life Insurance Company of which the Company
retains 90% of the common stock. All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") which
differ in some respects from statutory accounting practices required by
regulatory authorities for life insurance companies.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during
the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
INVESTMENTS
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.
115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," as
of January 1, 1994. The cumulative effect of implementing SFAS 115 was to
report appreciation on available for sale fixed maturities of $887,174, less
the effect on related deferred policy acquisition costs of $(392,486) and
deferred income taxes of $(173,141), for a net increase to stockholder's
equity of $321,547.
Fixed maturities, (including bonds, redeemable preferred stocks, and
mortgage-backed securities) which the Company has the positive intent and
ability to hold to maturity are classified as held to maturity and are
reported at amortized cost. Fixed maturities classified as available for
sale and all equity securities (common and nonredeemable preferred stocks)
are carried at estimated market value, with changes in unrealized gains and
losses recorded directly to stockholder's equity, net of applicable income
taxes and related deferred acquisition costs. As of December 31, 1995, the
Company had no trading portfolio.
Fixed maturities, whether available for sale or held to maturity, are
reduced to estimated net realizable value for declines in market value
considered to be other than temporary. Gains or losses on the sale of
securities are computed on the specific identification method. Fixed
maturity purchase premiums and discounts are amortized to call or maturity
dates.
<PAGE> 68
JACKSON NATIONAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1995
________________________________________________________________________________
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Mortgage loans and policy loans are carried at the unpaid principal balance
less unamortized discounts and net of valuation reserves. Real estate owned
is carried at cost less allowances for impairment in value. Limited
partnership investments are carried using the equity method of accounting.
Short-term investments are stated at cost which approximates market value.
DERIVATIVES
The Company hedges certain portions of its exposure to fluctuations in
interest rate risks by entering into interest rate swap and put-swaption
transactions. With the use of put-swaptions, JNL obtains the right, but not
the obligation to require the writers to pay JNL the present value of a ten
year swap. As consideration for this right, JNL pays a premium. The net
differential to be paid or received on interest rate swaps is recognized
over the lives of the agreements and is classified as investment income in
the statement of operations. The premium on the put-swaptions is amortized
ratably into investment income over the term of the options. Both interest
rate swaps and put-swaptions are held for purposes other than trading and
hedge fixed maturity available for sale securities, and are carried at fair
value with the change in fair value reflected in stockholder's equity. The
fair value is based on estimates received from financial institutions.
Realized gain (loss) from the settlement or termination of the interest rate
swaps are deferred and amortized over the life of the specific hedged assets
as an adjustment to the yield. Realized gain (loss) from the settlement of
the put-swaptions is included in realized gain (loss) in the statement of
operations in the period of settlement.
DEFERRED POLICY ACQUISITION COSTS
Certain costs of acquiring new business, principally commissions and certain
costs associated with policy issue and underwriting which vary with and are
primarily related to the production of new business, have been capitalized
as deferred policy acquisition costs. Deferred policy acquisition costs are
increased by interest thereon and amortized in proportion to anticipated
premium revenues for traditional life policies and in proportion to
estimated gross profits for annuities and interest-sensitive life products.
As certain debt and equity securities are carried at aggregate fair value,
an adjustment is made to deferred policy acquisition costs equal to the
change in amortization that would have occurred if such securities had been
sold at their stated aggregate fair value and the proceeds reinvested at
current yields. At December 31, 1995 and 1994, deferred acquisition costs
have been decreased by $440.8 million and increased $439.3 million,
respectively, to reflect this change.
VALUE OF ACQUIRED INSURANCE IN FORCE AT ACQUISITION DATE
The value of acquired insurance in force at acquisition date ("VOB")
represents the present value of anticipated profits of the business in force
on November 25, 1986 (the date the Company was acquired by Prudential) net
of amortization. The VOB is being amortized in proportion to anticipated
premium revenues for traditional life insurance contracts and estimated
gross profits for annuities and interest-sensitive life products over a
period of 20 years.
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
The Company provides deferred income taxes on the temporary differences
between the tax and financial statement basis of assets and liabilities as
required by SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes".
JNL files a consolidated federal income tax return with Brooke Life. The
non-life insurance company subsidiaries file separate federal income tax
returns. Income tax expense is calculated on a separate company basis.

DECEMBER 31, 1995
________________________________________________________________________________
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
POLICY RESERVES AND LIABILITIES
For traditional life insurance contracts, reserves for future policy
benefits are determined using the net level premium method and assumptions
as to mortality, interest, policy lapsation and expenses. Mortality
assumptions, based upon the 1975-1980 Basic Select and Ultimate tables,
range from 59% to 90% depending on underwriting classification and policy
duration. Interest rate assumptions range from 6.0% to 9.5%. Lapse and
expense assumptions are based on Company experience.
For the Company's universal life-type contracts, reserves approximate the
policyholder's accumulation account. For deferred annuity and other
investment contracts, the reserve is the policyholder's account value.
SEPARATE ACCOUNTS
The Company established Jackson National Separate Account - I (the "Separate
Account") which commenced operations on October 16, 1995, and is registered
under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a unit investment trust. The
Separate Account receives and invests net premiums for individual flexible
premium annuity contracts issued by JNL. Separate account assets and
separate account liabilities total $.8 million and are included in other
assets and liabilities at December 31, 1995. Investment income and gains
and losses of the Separate Accounts accrue directly to the contractholders
and are, therefore, not included in the Company's consolidated statement of
operations.
REVENUE AND EXPENSE RECOGNITION
Premiums for traditional life insurance are reported as revenues when due.
Benefits, claims and expenses are associated with earned revenues in order
to recognize profit over the lives of the contracts. This association is
accomplished by provisions for future policy benefits and the deferral and
amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs.
Deposits on interest sensitive life products are credited to the
policyholder account. Revenues consist of amounts assessed against the
policyholder's account value, including mortality, contract initiation and
administration (expense charges) and surrender charges. Surrender benefits
are treated as repayments of the policyholder account. Death benefits, net
of the policyholder account, are recognized as an expense when incurred.
Expenses are associated with gross profit in order to recognize profit over
the life of the business. This is accomplished by deferral and amortization
of policy acquisition costs.
Deposits on investment contracts, principally deferred annuities, are
treated as policyholder deposits and excluded from revenue. Revenues
consist primarily of the investment income earned on those deposits.
Benefit payments for such contracts are treated as reductions to the
policyholder account. Expenses consist primarily of the interest credited
to the policyholder deposit.
3. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The following summarizes the basis used by the Company in estimating its
fair value disclosures for financial instruments:
FIXED MATURITIES AND EQUITY SECURITIES - Fair values are based upon quoted
market prices, if available. For securities not actively traded, fair
values are estimated using independent pricing services or analytically
determined values.
POLICY LOANS - The carrying amount reported in the balance sheet
approximates fair value since policy loans reduce the amount payable at
death or at surrender of the contract.
SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS, CASH AND ACCRUED INVESTMENT INCOME - The carrying
amounts reported in the balance sheet approximate fair value.
<PAGE> 70
JACKSON NATIONAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1995
________________________________________________________________________________
3. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)
SEPARATE ACCOUNT ASSETS - Separate account assets are carried at the market
value of the underlying securities.
ANNUITY RESERVES (without mortality features) - Fair values for immediate
and deferred annuities are derived by discounting the future estimated cash
flows using current interest rates with similar maturities.
At December 31, 1995, the carrying value and fair value of such annuities
approximated $18.2 billion and $17.2 billion, respectively, and $16.4
billion and $15.4 billion, respectively, at December 31, 1994.
GUARANTEED INTEREST CONTRACTS RESERVES - Fair value is based on the
present value of future cash flows at current pricing rates.
LIABILITY FOR GUARANTEE FUND ASSESSMENTS - It is not practical to estimate
the fair value of liabilities for guarantee fund assessments. Such
liabilities are based on current estimates of the Company's portion of the
undiscounted liability at the time of a known insolvency.
OTHER LIABILITIES - Payables for securities purchased, commissions
payable, general expense and administrative fees payable and other
liabilities represent net transactions of a short term nature for which the
carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet approximate fair value.
SEPARATE ACCOUNT LIABILITIES - Fair value of contracts in the accumulation
phase are based on net surrender values. Fair values of contracts in the
payout phase are based on the present value of future cash flows at assumed
investment rates. At December 31,1995, all separate account contracts are
in the accumulation phase.
4. INVESTMENTS
Investments are comprised primarily of fixed-interest securities, primarily
publicly-traded industrial, mortgage-backed, utility and government bonds.
The Company generates the vast majority of its premium from
interest-sensitive individual annuity and life insurance products, on which
it has committed to pay a declared rate of interest. The Company's strategy
of investing in fixed-interest securities aims to ensure matching of the
asset yield with the interest-sensitive insurance liabilities and to earn a
stable return on its investments.
The Company's holdings of non-investment grade bonds at December 31, 1995
constituted approximately 9% of total assets. Approximately 2% of its total
assets are invested in common stocks or commercial real estate and
mortgages. Approximately 69% of the Company's investment grade bonds have
Standard and Poors ("S&P") ratings of A and higher, while 19% is rated BBB.
The fixed-interest portfolio has a weighted average S&P rating of AA-.
The amortized cost and estimated market value of fixed maturity investments
held to maturity are as follows (dollars in thousands):

Discounts and premiums on collateralized mortgage obligations are amortized
over the estimated redemption period using the effective interest method.
Yields which are used to calculate premium/discount amortization are
adjusted periodically for prepayments.
At December 31, 1995, fixed maturities with a carrying value of $5.3 million
were on deposit with regulatory authorities as required by law in various
states in which the insurance operations conduct business.
At December 31, 1995, New American Holdings with a carrying value and
estimated market value of $192.8 million and $218.7 million, respectively,
was the only entity (other than the United States government agencies and
authorities) in which the Company's investment exceeded ten percent of
stockholder's equity. The security was rated a Class 2 by the National
Association of Insurance Commissioners ("NAIC") and a "BBB" by S&P.
The Company held two types of derivative instruments at December 31, 1995;
interest rate swaps and put-swaptions. At December 31, 1995, the notional
amount of the interest rate swaps outstanding was $1.0 billion, with
unexpired terms of these agreements varying from 32 to 111 months and
interest rates ranging from 6.25% to 8.59%. The fair value of the swap
agreements was $68.0 million. During 1995, the Company recorded $14.4
million in net interest income from swaps. The termination of swaps in 1994
resulted in a $18.3 million loss (net of tax) which was to be amortized over
the remaining life of the underlying assets being hedged. During 1995, the
Company recognized $5.6 million in losses relating to those swaps.

5. INVESTMENT INCOME AND REALIZED GAINS AND LOSSES
The Company entered into six put-swaption agreements during 1995. These
swaptions were entered into as a hedge against significant upward
fluctuations in interest rates. The notional amount of these securities at
December 31, 1995 was $12 billion, with a fair value of $7.3 million. The
unexpired terms of these agreements vary from 23 to 47 months.
The Company has entered into a securities lending agreement whereby large
blocks of securities are loaned to third parties, primarily major brokerage
firms. As of December 31, 1995 the estimated fair value of loaned
securities was $572.6 million. The Company's policy requires a minimum of
102 percent of the fair value of the loaned securities as collateral,
calculated on a daily basis. The collateral and related amounts due to
counterparties are not reflected in the consolidated balance sheet. To
further minimize the credit risks related to this program, the financial
condition of counterparties are monitored on a regular basis.

8. REINSURANCE
The Company assumes and cedes reinsurance from and to other insurance
companies in order to limit losses from large exposures; however, if the
reinsurer is unable to meet its obligations, the originating issuer of the
coverage assumes the liability. The maximum amount of life insurance risk
retained by the Company on any one life is generally $1.5 million. Amounts
not retained are ceded to other companies on a yearly renewable-term or a
coinsurance basis.

In 1994, the Company reached settlements with the Internal Revenue Service
("IRS") under which the IRS agreed to changes in the Company's federal
income tax liability for the tax years through 1990. Based on these and
subsequent settlements, federal income tax returns are closed to further
assessment through 1991.
10. CONTINGENCIES
The Company and its subsidiaries are involved in litigation arising in the
ordinary course of business. It is the opinion of management that the
ultimate disposition of such litigation will not have a material adverse
affect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.
During 1994, the Company undertook an initiative to improve the quality of
service to policyholders. The Company expects to incur approximately $31
million in costs associated with this project, of which $19 million was
incurred through 1995. The remaining expense is expected to be incurred
in 1996.

operations for such period. On January 1, 1996 the maximum amount of
dividends that can be paid by the Company without prior approval of the
Commissioner under this limitation approximated $156.6 million.
Statutory capital and surplus of the Company at December 31, 1995 and 1994

On August 26, 1987, Brooke Life issued a ten-year $180 million note to
Prudential as part of an exchange whereby 100% of the common stock of JNL

1991, Brooke Life issued an additional $200 million note to Prudential
Finance BV, a Prudential subsidiary, due October 31, 2001 with interest of
9.75% payable on October 31 of each year. In 1995, 1994, and 1993, JNL

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 civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action by reason of
the fact that
7
<PAGE> 85
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.
Item 29. Principal Underwriter

for the Jackson National Separate Account - I.

GENERAL PROVISION
ASSIGNMENT. The Owner may assign this Contract before the Annuity Date, but we

recorded at our Annuity Service Center. We are not responsible for any
payments made before an assignment is recorded. The Owner may exercise these
rights subject to the interest of any assignee or irrevocable beneficiary. We
assume no responsibility for the validity or tax consequences of any
assignment. If the Contract is issued pursuant to a Qualified Plan (or a
Nonqualified Plan that is subject to ERISA), it may not be assigned except
under such conditions as may be allowed under applicable law.
CONFORMITY WITH STATE LAWS. This Contract will be interpreted under the law of
the state in which it is issued. Any provision which, on the Issue Date, is in
conflict with the law of such state, is amended to conform to the minimum
requirements of such law.
CREDITING OF INTEREST. Interest will be credited to the Guaranteed Account
Contract Value during the Guaranteed Period from the date premium is received
by the Company. The rate of interest for the Guaranteed Period selected will
be as declared in advance by the Company's Board of Directors. The rate of
interest will never be less than the rate shown on the Contract Data Page.
DEFERMENT OF PAYMENTS. We may defer making payments from the Guaranteed
Account for up to 6 months. Interest, subject to state requirements, will be
credited during the deferral period.
ENTIRE CONTRACT. The policy is a Contract. The Contract, Contract Data Page,
application and any applicable endorsements together make up the entire
Contract.
MISSTATEMENT OF AGE. If the age of the Annuitant has been misstated, the
benefits will be those which the Premiums paid would have purchased at the
correct age.
Any underpayments will be made up immediately by the Company. Overpayments
will be deducted from future payments.
MODIFICATION OF CONTRACT. Any change or waiver of the provisions of this
Contract must be in writing and signed by the President, a Vice President, the
Secretary or Assistant Secretary or the Company. No agent has authority to
change or waive any provision of this Contract.
NONPARTICIPATING. This Contract does not share in our surplus or earnings.
PREMIUMS. Premiums are flexible. This means that you, subject to Company
declared minimums and maximums, may change the amounts, frequency or timing of
Premiums. The initial Premium must be at least $5,000 for Nonqualified Plan
Contracts and $2,000 for Qualified Plan Contracts. Subsequent Premiums must be
at least $500 ($50 if made in connection with an automatic payment plan).
Total Premiums under a contract may not exceed $1,000,000. The Company may
waive the minimums or maximums at any time.
Premiums may be allocated among one or more of the Guaranteed Account Options
and one or more of the Portfolios of the Separate Account in accordance with
instructions from you. Such election may be made in any percent from 0% to
100% in whole percentages. The minimum that may be allocated to a Guaranteed

PREMIUM TAXES. The Company may deduct from the Contract Value any premium

advance any amount so due, we are not waiving any right to collect such amounts
at a later day. The Company will deduct any withholding taxes required by
applicable law.
PROOF OF AGE OR SURVIVAL. The Company may require satisfactory proof of
correct age upon annuitization. If any payment under this Contract depends on
the Annuitant being alive, the Company may require satisfactory proof of
survival.

Contract Value and Portfolio balances at least quarterly.
<PAGE> 8
SEPARATE ACCOUNT. The Separate Account is a Separate investment account of the
Company. It is shown on the Contract Data Page. The assets of the Separate
Account are the property of the Company. However, they are not credited with
earnings or chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business the
Company may conduct. Each Portfolio is not chargeable with liabilities arising
out of any other Portfolio.
SUSPENSION OF PAYMENTS. We may suspend or postpone any payments from the
Portfolios if any of the following occur:
a) The New York Stock Exchange is closed.
b) Trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted.
c) An emergency exists such that it is not reasonably practical to dispose
of securities in the Separate Account or to determine the value of its
assets, or
d) The Securities and Exchange Commission, by order, so permits the
protection of security holders.
SUBSTITUTION OF FUND. If the shares of any of the Funds or any series of the
Fund should no longer be available for investment by the Separate Account or
if, in the judgment of the Company's Board of Directors, further investment in
the shares of a Fund is no longer appropriate in view of the purpose of the
Contract, the Company may substitute shares of another mutual fund or series
within a mutual fund for Fund shares already purchased or to be purchased in
the future by Premiums under the Contract. No substitution of securities may
take place without prior approval of the Securities and Exchange Commission and
under such requirements as it may impose.

address shown in the application unless the Owner requests otherwise. Any

of the Contract Value, in whole or in part. See WITHDRAWAL PROVISIONS.

Company elects or is required to assess a charge for taxes, a separate
Accumulation Unit Value may be calculated for Contracts issued in connection
with Nonqualified and Qualified Plans, respectively, within each Portfolio.
The Accumulation Unit Value for each Portfolio will vary with the price of a
share in the Underlying Fund and in accordance with the Mortality (including
the Enhanced Death Benefit Charge) and Expense Risk Charge, Administration, and
any provision for taxes.
Assessments of Withdrawal Charges, Transfer Fees and Contract Maintenance
Charges are effected by redemption of Accumulation Units and do not affect
Accumulation Unit Value.
The Accumulation Unit Value of a Portfolio for any Valuation Period is
calculated by subtracting (2) from (1) and dividing the result by (3) where:
1) is the total value at the end of the given Valuation Period of the assets
attributable to the Accumulation Units of the Portfolio minus the total
liabilities;
2) is the cumulative unpaid charge for assumptions of Mortality and Expense
Risk Charge, and for Administration Charge; and
3) is the number of Accumulation Units outstanding at the end of the given
Valuation Period.
GUARANTEED ACCOUNT CONTRACT VALUE. The Guaranteed Account Value under the
contract shall be the sum of all monies allocated or transferred to the
Guaranteed Account, reduced by any applicable premium taxes, plus all interest
credited to the Guaranteed Account during the period that the Contract has been
in effect. This amount shall be adjusted for withdrawals, annuitizations,
transfers, and charges.
GUARANTEED ACCOUNT OPTIONS. For any amounts allocated to the Guaranteed
Account, the Owner will select the duration of the Guaranteed Account Option
from those made available by the Company. Such amounts will earn interest at
the Current Interest Rate for the chosen duration, compounded annually during
the entire Guaranteed Period. In no event will the Current Interest Rate be
less than the Subsequent Guaranteed Rate specified on the Contract Data Page.
You may allocate Premiums, or make transfers from the Portfolios, to the
Guaranteed Account at any time prior to the latest Annuity Date. However, no
Guaranteed Period other than one year may be chosen which extends beyond the
latest Annuity Date. Withdrawals from a Guaranteed Account Options may take
place thirty (30) days following the end of the corresponding Guaranteed Period
without being subject to an Interest Rate Adjustment.
If the Owner does not specify a Guaranteed Period at the time of renewal, We
will select the same Guaranteed Period as has just expired, so long as such
Guaranteed Period does not extend beyond the Annuity Date. If such Guaranteed
Period does extend beyond the Annuity Date, We will choose the longest period
that will not extend beyond such date. If a renewal occurs within one year of
the Annuity Date, We will credit interest up to the Annuity Date at the then
Current Interest Rate for the one-year Guaranteed Period.
INTEREST RATE ADJUSTMENT. Except in the 30-day period following the end of a
Guaranteed Period, any amount withdrawn or transferred from a Guaranteed
Account Option will be subject to an Interest Rate Adjustment. The Interest
Rate Adjustment will be calculated by multiplying the amount withdrawn,
transferred or annuitized by the formula described below:
[1 + I](m/12) -1
-------
[1 + J](m/12)
<PAGE> 10
where:
I = The base rate credited to the current Guaranteed Period.
J = The base rate that would be credited to the Guaranteed Account Option
of the same duration at the time of withdrawal or transfer, increased
by 0.5%. When no Guaranteed Account Option of the same duration is
available, the rate will be established by linear interpolation.
M = The number of complete months remaining to the end of the Guaranteed
Account Option.
There will be no Interest Rate Adjustment when J is greater than 1 but by less
than 0.5%.
In addition, the Interest Rate Adjustment will be be applied to amounts
withdrawn for:
a) the payment of death benefit proceeds,
b) the payment of charges or fees; or
c) transfers relating to Dollar Cost Averaging from the one-year Guaranteed
Account Option.
In no event will the total Withdrawal Amount available be less than the
Guaranteed Account Minimum Value.
TRANSFER PROVISIONS
TRANSFERS. Transfers between Portfolios and Guaranteed Account Options may be
made as described below. Such transfers are not subject to Withdrawal Charges.
Transfers from the Guaranteed Account will be subject to applicable Interest
Rate Adjustments.
The minimum transfer amount is $100. The remaining Contract Value of a
Portfolio or Guaranteed Account Option after a transfer must be at least $100.
If a transfer would cause a remaining value to be less than $100, all of the
value must be transferred, or no transfer can take place. The Company reserves
the right to waive the minimum transfer amount in connection with preauthorized
automatic transfer programs.
FROM PORTFOLIO TO PORTFOLIO. Both prior to and after the Annuity Date, You may
transfer all or a portion of Your investment in one Portfolio to another
Portfolio. A transfer will result in the purchase of Accumulation Units in a
Portfolio and redemption of Accumulation Units in the other Portfolio.
Transfers will be effected at the end of the Valuation Period in which We
receive Your request for the transfer.
FROM PORTFOLIO TO THE GUARANTEED ACCOUNT. Prior to the Annuity Date, You may
transfer all or a portion of the value of Your Portfolio(s) to a Guaranteed
Account Option. This will result in the redemption of Accumulation Units and
will be effected at the end of the Valuation Period in which We receive Your
request for transfer.
FROM GUARANTEED ACCOUNT TO GUARANTEED ACCOUNT OR PORTFOLIO. Other than on
renewal of a Guaranteed Account Option (see GUARANTEED ACCOUNT OPTIONS),
transfers made between Guaranteed Account Options or from a Guaranteed Account
Option to a Portfolio are subject to an Interest Rate Adjustment.
<PAGE> 11
WITHDRAWAL PROVISIONS
Prior to the Annuity Date, you may withdraw all or part of the Contract Value
amounts under this Contract by informing us at our Annuity Service Center. For
full withdrawal, this Contract, or a Lost Contract Affidavit, must be returned
to Our Annuity Service Center.
Except in connection with a systematic withdrawal program, the minimum partial
withdrawal amount is $500, or if less, the Owner's entire interest in the
Portfolio or Guaranteed Account Option from which a withdrawal is requested.
The Owner's interest in the Portfolio or Guaranteed Account Option from which
the withdrawal is requested must be at least $100 after the withdrawal is
completed if anything is left in that Portfolio or Guaranteed Account Option.
Absent written notification to the contrary, withdrawals and any applicable
charge will be deducted from the Contract Value in proporation to their
allocation among the Portfolios and Guaranteed Account Options. Withdrawals
will be based on values at the end of the Valuation Period in which the request
for withdrawal and the Contract, or a Lost Contract Affidavit, (in a case of a
full withdrawal), are received at the Annuity Service Center. Withdrawals are
subject to applicable Interest Rate Adjustments.
CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGE. A Contingent Deferred Sales Charge, which is
referred to as the Withdrawal Charge, may be imposed upon certain withdrawals.
Withdrawal Charges will vary in amount depending upon the Contribution Year of
the Premium at the time of withdrawal in accordance with the Withdrawal Charge
table shown below.
The Withdrawal Charge schedule is:
CONTRIBUTION YEAR PERCENT
0 7
1 6
2 5
3 4
4 3
5 2
6 1
7 0
The Withdrawal Charge is deducted from the remaining Contract Value so that the
actual reduction in Contract Value as a result of the withdrawal will be
greater than the withdrawal amount requested and paid. For purposes of
determining the Withdrawal Charge, withdrawals will be allocated first to
earnings, if any (which may be withdrawn free to Withdrawal Charge), and then
to Premium on a first-in, first-out basis so that all withdrawals are allocated
to Premium to which the lower (if any) Withdrawal Charge applies.
Premiums that are no longer subject to the Withdrawal Charge (and not
previously withdrawn), plus earnings in the Owner's account may be withdrawn
free of Withdrawal Charges at any time.
In addition, there may be a free withdrawal amount for the first withdrawal
during a Contract Year ("Additional Free Withdrawal"). The Additional Free
Withdrawal amount is equal to 10% of Premium that remains subject to the
Withdrawal Charge and that has not previously been withdrawn, less earnings in
the Owner's account. Although Additional Free Withdrawal amounts reduce
principal in an Owner's account, they do not reduce Premium for purposes of
calculating the Withdrawal Charge. As a result, an Owner will not receive the
benefit of an Additional Free Withdrawal in a full surrender.
If the withdrawal request does not specify from which Portfolio(s) or
Guaranteed Account Option(s) the withdrawal is to be made, the request will be
processed by making withdrawals from each Portfolio and each Guaranteed Account
Option in proportion to their allocations. In no event shall the amount
withdrawn exceed the Withdrawal Value.
The Company will waive the Withdrawal Charge on any withdrawal necessary to
satisfy the minimum distribution requirements of the Code.
In addition to a Withdrawal Charge, a withdrawal from the Guaranteed Account
may also incur an Interest Rate Adjustment. See INTEREST RATE ADJUSTMENT for
further details.

DEATH BENEFIT PROVISIONS
DEATH OF CONTRACT OWNER BEFORE THE ANNUITY DATE: Upon Your death, or the death
of any Joint Contract Owner, before the Annuity Date, the Death Benefit will be
paid to the Beneficiary(ies) designated by You. Upon the death of a Joint
Contract Owner, the surviving Joint Contract Owner, if any, will be treated as
the primary Beneficiary. Any other Beneficiary designation on record at the
Company's Home Office at the time of death will be treated as a contingent
Beneficiary
DEATH BENEFIT AMOUNT BEFORE THE ANNUITY DATE: The standard Death Benefit is
equal to the greater of:
1) the Contract Value at the end of the Valuation Period during which due
proof of death and an election of the type of payment to the Beneficiary
is received by the Company, at Home Office; or
2) the total Premiums paid prior to the death of the Owner, minus the sum
of:
a) the total withdrawals and any Withdrawal Charges assessed;
and
b) premium taxes incurred.
In addition, where permitted by state law, the Company will provide an Enhanced
Death Benefit. The Enhanced Death Benefit is determined by (A) recomputing the
standard Death Benefit by accumulating all amounts under (2) above annually at
5% (4% if the Owner was age 70 or older on the Issue Date) to the date of
death, and (B) paying the greater of the amount so determined and the following
amount, which is deemed to be $0 if the Owner dies prior to the seventh
Contract Year:
The Contract Value at the seventh Contract Year, plus any Premiums paid
since that time and prior to death, minus the sum of:
a) total withdrawals and any Withdrawal Charges assessed since
such seventh Contract Year; and
b) premium taxes incurred since the seventh Contract Year,
all accumulated annually at 5% (4% if the Owner was age 70 or older on
the Issue Date) to the date of death.
The Enhanced Death Benefit shall never exceed 250% of all Premiums paid to the
Contract, reduced by the amount of any withdrawals.
DEATH BENEFIT OPTIONS BEFORE ANNUITY DATE: In the event of Your death or any
Joint Contract Owner's death before the Annuity Date, a Beneficiary must
request that the Death Benefit be paid under one of the Death Benefit Options
below. In addition, if the Beneficiary is the spouse of the Contract Owner, he
or she may elect to continue the Contract, at the then Contract Value, in his
or her own name and exercise all the Contract Owner's rights under the
Contract. The following are the Death Benefit Options:
* Option 1 - lump-sum payment of the Death Benefit; or
* Option 2 - the payment of the entire Death Benefit within 5 years of the
date of the death of the Contract Owner or any Joint Contract Owner; or
* Option 3 - payment of the Death Benefit under an Annuity Option over the
lifetime of the Beneficiary or over a period not extending beyond the life
expectancy of the Beneficiary, with distribution beginning within one year
of the date of Your death or the death of any Joint Contract Owner.
Any portion of the death benefit not applied under Option 3 within one year of
the date of a Contract Owner's death, must be distributed within five years of
the date of death.
If a lump-sum payment is requested, the amount will be paid within seven (7)
days of receipt of proof of death and the election unless the Suspension or
Deferral of Payments Provision is in effect.
Payment to the Beneficiary, other than in a single sum, may only be elected
during the sixty-day period beginning with the date of receipt of proof of
death.
DEATH OF CONTRACT OWNER AFTER THE ANNUITY DATE: If You, or any Joint Contract
Owner, die after the Annuity Date, and You are not an Annuitant, any remaining
payments under the Annuity Option elected will continue at least as rapidly as
under the method of distribution in effect at the Contract Owner's death. Upon
Your death after the Annuity Date, the Beneficiary becomes the Contract Owner.
<PAGE> 13
DEATH OF ANNUITANT: Upon the death of an Annuitant, who is not a Contract
Owner, before the Annuity Date, You may designate a new Annuitant, subject to
the Company's underwriting rules then in effect. If no designation is made
within 30 days of the death of the Annuitant, You will become the Annuitant.
If the Contract Owner is a non-natural person, the death of the Annuitant will
be treated as the death of the Contract Owner and a new Annuitant may not be
designated.
Upon the death of the Annuitant after the Annuity Date, the death benefit, if
any, will be as specified in the Annuity Option elected. Death benefits will
be paid at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution in effect at
the Annuitant's death.
<PAGE> 14
ANNUITY PROVISIONS
ANNUITY DATE. The date on which annuity payments are to begin. In selecting
an Annuity Date, the Owner may wish to consider the applicability of a
Withdrawal Charge, which is imposed upon annuitizations which occur within one
year of the Issue Date. Annuity payments will begin no later than the Latest
Annuity Date. If no Annuity Date is selected, the Annuity Date will be the
Latest Annuity Day. The Owner may change the Annuity Date at any time, at
least seven days prior to the Annuity Date then indicated on the Company's
records, by written notice to the Company at its Annuity Service Center.
ANNUITY OPTIONS. The Owner, or any Beneficiary who is so entitled, may elect
to receive a lump sum at the end of the accumulation period. However, a
lump-sum distribution may be deemed to be a withdrawal, and at least a portion
of it may be subject to income tax. Alternatively, an Annuity Option may be
elected. The Owner may, upon prior written notice to the Company at its
Annuity Service Center, elect an Annuity Option at any time prior to the
Annuity Date.
A change of Annuity Options is permitted if made at least 7 days before the
Annuity Date. If no other Annuity Option is elected, monthly annuity payments
will be made in accordance with Option 3 below, a Life annuity with 120-month
period certain. Annuity payments will be made in monthly, quarterly,
semi-annual or annual installments as selected by the Owner. However, if the
amount available to apply under an Annuity Option is less than $5,000, and
state law permits, the Company has the right to pay the annuity in one lump
sum. In addition, if the first payment provided would be less than $50, and
state law permits, the Company shall have the right to require the frequency of
payments be at quarterly, semiannual or annual intervals so as to result in an
initial payment of at least $50.
NO WITHDRAWALS OF CONTRACT VALUE ARE PERMITTED DURING THE ANNUITY PERIOD FOR
ANY ANNUITY OPTION UNDER WHICH PAYMENTS ARE BEING MADE PURSUANT TO LIFE
CONTINGENCIES.
Upon written election filed with The Company at its Annuity Service Center, all
of the Contract Value will be applied to provide one of the following Annuity
Options. The portion of the Contract Value which is in the Guaranteed Account
immediately prior to the Annuity Date, applied to an Annuity Option, will be
subject to applicable Interest Rate Adjustments.
OPTION 1 - LIFE INCOME An annuity payable monthly during the lifetime of the
Annuitant. Under this option, no further payments are payable after the death
of the Annuitant, and there is not provision for a death benefit payable to the
Beneficiary. Therefore, it is possible under Option 1 for the payee to receive
only one monthly annuity payment under this Contract.
OPTION 2 - JOINT AND SURVIVOR An annuity payable monthly while both the
Annuitant and a designated second person are living. Upon the death of either
person, the monthly income payable will continue during the lifetime of the
survivor. If a reduced payment to the survivor is desired, variable annuity
payments will be determined using either one-half or two-thirds of the number
of each type of Annuity Unit credited. Fixed payments will be equal to either
one-half or two-thirds of the fixed payment payable during the joint life of
the Annuitant and the designated second person.
Annuity payments terminate automatically and immediately upon the death of the
surviving person without regard to the number or total amount of payments
received.
There is no minimum number of guaranteed payments, and it is possible to have
only one annuity payment if both the Annuitant and the designated second person
die before the due date of the second payment.
OPTION 3 - LIFE ANNUITY WITH 120 OR 240 MONTH PAYMENTS GUARANTEED An annuity
payable monthly during the lifetime of the Annuitant with the guarantee that
if, at the death of the Annuitant, payments have been made for fewer than the
guaranteed 120 or 240 monthly periods, as elected by the Owner, the balance of
the guaranteed number of payments will be made to the Beneficiary.
<PAGE> 15
OPTION 4 - INCOME FOR A SPECIFIED PERIOD Under this option, a payee can elect
an annuity payable monthly for any period of years from 5 to 30. This election
must be made for full 12-month periods. In the event the payee dies before the
specified number of payments has been made, the Beneficiary may elect to
continue receiving the scheduled payments or may alternatively elect to receive
the discounted present value of any remaining guaranteed payments in a lump
sum.
ADDITIONAL OPTIONS. Other Annuity Options may be made available by the
Company.
FIXED ANNUITY PAYMENTS. To the extent a fixed Annuity Option has been
elected, the proceeds payable under this Contract, less any applicable premium
taxes, shall be applied to the payment of the Annuity Option elected at
whichever of the following is more favorable to the Payee; (a) the annuity
rates based upon the applicable tables in the contract; (b) the then current
rates provided by the Company on contracts of this type on the Annuity Date.
In no event will the Fixed Annuity payments be changed once they begin.
AMOUNT OF FIXED ANNUITY PAYMENTS. The amount of each Fixed Annuity payment
will be determined by applying the portion of the Contract Value allocated by
Fixed Annuity payments less any applicable premium taxes, charges and any
Interest Rate Adjustment that may apply in the case of premature
annuitizations, to the annuity table applicable to the Annuity Option chosen.
AMOUNT OF VARIABLE ANNUITY PAYMENTS. First Variable Payment. The dollar
amount of the first monthly annuity payment will be determined by applying the
portion of the Contract Value allocated to Variable Annuity payments, less any
applicable premiums taxes, to the annuity table applicable to the Annuity
Option chosen. Those tables are based on a set amount per $1,000 of proceeds
applied.
The dollars applied are then divided by 1,000 and the result multiplied by the
appropriate annuity factor appearing in the table to compute the amount o the
First monthly annuity payment. That amount is divided by the value of an
Annuity Unit as the Annuity Date to establish the number of Annuity Units
representing each Variable Annuity payment. The number of Annuity Units
determined for the first Variable Annuity payment remains constant for the
second and subsequent monthly Variable Annuity payments, assuming that no
reallocation of Contract Values is made. The total Variable Annuity payment is
equal to the sum of the annuity payments as determined above for each Portfolio
to which the Contract Value is allocated on the Annuity Date.
Number of Variable Units. The number of Annuity Units for each applicable
Portfolio is the amount of the first annuity payment attributable to that
Portfolio divided by the value of the applicable Annuity Unit for that
Portfolio as of the Annuity Date. The number will not change as a result of
investment experience.
Annuity Unit Value. The initial value of an Annuity Unit of each Portfolio was
set when the Portfolios were established. The value may increase or decrease
from one Valuation Period to the next. For any Valuation Period, the value of
an Annuity Unit of a particular Portfolio is the value of that Annuity Units.
during the last Valuation Period multiplied by the net investment factor for
that Portfolio for the current Valuation Period.
The Net Investment Factor for any Portfolio for any Valuation Period is
determined by dividing (a) by (b) and then subtracting (c) from the result
where:
a) is the net result of:
1) the net asset value of the Fund share held in the Portfolio
determined as of the end of the Valuation Period, plus
2) the per share amount of any dividend or other distribution
declared by the Fund on the shares held in the Portfolio 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 the Company during the Valuation Period which are
determined by the Company to be attributable to the operation of the
Portfolio. (No federal income taxes are applicable under present
law.)
<PAGE> 16
b) is the net asset value of the Fund share held in the Portfolio
determined as of the end of the preceding Valuation Period; and
c) is the asset charge factor determined by the Company for the Valuation
Period to reflect the Expense Risk Charge, Administration Charge, Mortality
Risk Charge and Enhanced Death Benefit Charge.
The result is then multiplied by a factor that neutralizes the assumed
investment rate.
Subsequent Variable Annuity Payments. After the first Variable Annuity
payment, payments will vary in amount according to the investment performance
of the applicable Portfolios. The amount may change from month to month. The
amount of each subsequent payment is the sum of:
The number of Annuity Units for each Portfolio as determined for the first
annuity payment, multiplied by the value of an Annuity Unit for that Portfolio
at the end of the Valuation Period immediately preceding in which payment is
due.
The Company guarantees that the amount of each Variable Annuity payment will
not be affected by variations in expenses or mortality experience.
BASIS OF COMPUTATION. The actuarial basis for the Table of Guaranteed Annuity
Rates is the 1983a Annuity Mortality Table, without projection with interest at
3.0%. The Table of Guaranteed Annuity Rates does not include any applicable
premium tax.
