FEES AND EXPENSESLOCATION IN PROSPECTUS
Charges for Early WithdrawalsIf you withdraw money from your Contract within 5 Complete Years following your last Premium payment, you will be assessed a withdrawal charge. The maximum withdrawal charge is 6.5% of the Remaining Premium withdrawn during the first Completed Year. For example, if you make an early withdrawal within the first Completed Year, you could pay a withdrawal charge of up to $6,500 on a $100,000 investment. The withdrawal charge then declines by 1% or 0.5% per year for each additional Completed Year, until the end of the fifth Completed Year, after which no charge is made. There is an optional Liquidity Option available that provides for no withdrawal charges. Contract Charges- Transaction Expenses: Withdrawal Charge

OVERVIEW OF THE CONTRACT

Q.    What is this Contract, and what is it designed to do?

A.    The Elite Access II Contract is intended to help you save for retirement or another long-term investment purpose through investments in a variety of investment options during accumulation phase. The Contract also offers death benefits to protect your designated beneficiaries. Through the annuitization feature, the Contract can supplement your retirement income by providing a stream of income payments. This Contract may be appropriate if you have a long investment time horizon. It is not intended for people who may need to make early or frequent withdrawals or intend to engage in frequent trading in the Funds.

Q.    How do I accumulate assets in the Contract and receive income from the Contract?

A.    Your Contract has two phases:

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

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

Accumulation Phase

During the accumulation phase, to help you accumulate assets, you can allocate your Premium payments to:

a variety of Investment Divisions. Each Investment Division invests in a corresponding (mutual fund) Fund, each of which has its own investment strategies, investment adviser(s), expense ratios, and returns; and

a variety of Fixed Account Options, which offer a guaranteed fixed interest rate for a specified period.

A list of Funds and additional information about the Funds in which the Investment Divisions currently invest is provided in Appendix A: Funds Available Under the Contract.




4


Income Phase

You can elect to annuitize your Contract and turn your Contract Value into a stream of fixed and/or variable income payments from us. (Variable payments depend on the performance of the Investment Divisions.) Currently, we offer income options that provide payments for (i) the life of the Annuitant(s), (ii) a specified period, or (iii) a combination of life and a specified period. We may offer other options, at our discretion, where permitted by state law. At the Income Date, you can choose to receive fixed payments or variable payments.

Please note that if you annuitize, your Contract Value will be converted to income payments and you may no longer withdraw money at will from your Contract. All add-on benefits terminate when you begin taking income payments.

Q.    What are the Contract’s primary features and options?

A.    Accessing your money. Until you annuitize, you have full access to your money. You can choose to withdraw your Contract Value at any time (although if you withdraw early, you may have to pay a withdrawal charge, a contract maintenance charge, charges due under any optional endorsement, a Market Value Adjustment, and/or taxes, including tax penalties). Certain withdrawals could substantially reduce or even terminate the benefits available under the Contract.

Tax treatment. Your Premium payments accumulate on a tax-deferred basis. This means your earnings are not taxed until you take money out of your Contract, such as when (1) you make a withdrawal; (2) you receive an income payment from the Contract; or (3) upon payment of a death benefit.

Death benefits. Your Contract includes a Basic Death Benefit that will pay your designated Beneficiaries your Contract Value on the date we receive all required documentation from your Beneficiary. The basic death benefit is payable during the accumulation phase. You can purchase an optional add-on death benefit (“Return of Premium Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit”) under the Contract that provides additional death benefits for an additional fee. This add-on death benefit may increase the amount of money payable to your designated Beneficiaries upon your death.

Rebalancing. At no additional charge, you can arrange to have us automatically reallocate your Contract Value among Investment Divisions and the one-year Fixed Account Option (if currently available) periodically to maintain your selected allocation percentages. Certain restrictions apply.

Dollar Cost Averaging. Alternately, at no additional charge, you may select either (i) Dollar Cost Averaging, which automatically transfers a dollar amount or percentage of money periodically from the one-year Fixed Account Option or any of the Investment Divisions into the Investment Divisions and other Fixed Account Options, or (ii) Dollar Cost Averaging Plus (DCA+), which automatically transfers a dollar amount or percentage of money periodically from the DCA+ Fixed Account Option to Investment Divisions or other Fixed Account Options. Certain restrictions apply.

Earnings sweep. At no additional charge, you can choose to move your earnings from the one-year Fixed Account Option, if currently available, and the JNL/WMC Government Money Market Investment Division. Restrictions apply.

Capital Protection Program. At no additional charge, you can elect to have us allocate enough of your Premium to the Fixed Account Option you select at issue to assure that the amount so allocated will equal, at the end of a selected period, your total original Premium paid. Restrictions apply.

Q. When will my Premium payments be credited to my account?

A. We will issue your Contract and allocate your first Premium within two Business Days (days when the New York Stock Exchange is open) after we receive your first Premium and all information that we require for the purchase of a Contract.

Subsequent Premium payments should be sent to one of the following addresses:

Regular Mail
P.O. Box 24068, Lansing, MI 48909-4068
Express Mail

Subsequent Premiums are allocated on the Business Day that the Premium is received. Each Business Day ends when the New York Stock Exchange closes (usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern time).

MAKING WITHDRAWALS: ACCESSING THE MONEY IN YOUR CONTRACT

Q.    Can I access the money in my account during the accumulation phase?

A.    Until you annuitize, you have full access to your money. You can choose to withdraw your Contract Value at any time (although if you withdraw early, you may have to pay a withdrawal charge, a contract maintenance charge, charges due under any add-on benefit, a Market Value Adjustment, and/or taxes, including tax penalties). If you choose the optional Liquidity Option, you will not pay a withdrawal charge on a partial or full withdrawal.

You can have access to the money in your Contract by making a partial or total withdrawal or by electing the Automatic Withdrawal Program. Withdrawals will reduce the Contract Value of your Contract (including the amount of the death benefit). However, withdrawing the Contract Value of your Contract below a certain level will terminate your Contract.

Certain benefits may limit withdrawals under the Contract. Certain withdrawals could substantially reduce or even terminate the benefits available under the Contract.

Q.    Are there limitations and consequences associated with taking money out of my Contract during the accumulation phase?

A.    Yes. These limitations and consequences include:

Limitations on withdrawal amountsThe minimum withdrawal amount is the lesser of $500 or, if less, the entire amount in the applicable Investment Division or Fixed Account Option. The minimum withdrawal is $50 under the Automatic Withdrawal Program.
Charges, Market Value Adjustment, and taxesAs described above, when you take out money, there may be withdrawal charges, a contract maintenance charge, charges due under any add-on benefit, a Market Value Adjustment, and applicable taxes.
Negative impact of withdrawal on benefits and guarantees of your ContractA withdrawal may have a negative impact on certain standard benefits or add-on benefits that you may elect. It may reduce the value of or even terminate certain benefits.

Q.    What is the process to request a withdrawal of money from my Contract?

A.    You can request a withdrawal from the Contract at any time before the Income Date. To request a partial or total withdrawal, you can send a written request in Good Order to one of the following addresses:

Regular Mail
P.O. Box 24068, Lansing, MI 48909-4068
Express Mail
1 Corporate Way, Lansing, Michigan 48951

Generally, for partial or total withdrawal requests received in Good Order before the end of the Business Day, we will process your request that day. If we receive your request in Good Order after the close of the end of the Business Day, your request will be processed the next Business Day. Generally, Jackson will pay the withdrawal proceeds within seven days of a request in Good Order.

8


Q.    Can I access the money in my account during the income phase?

A.    The income phase of your Contract occurs when you begin receiving regular income payments from us. You can choose an income option and the date income payments begin (subject to a maximum age). All of the Contract Value must be annuitized. If you annuitize, you may no longer withdraw money at will from your Contract. However, under income options with a specified period, the beneficiary may request a lump sum payment subject to a commutation fee.

EXAMPLE

The table below is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Contract with the cost of investing in other variable annuity policies. These costs include transaction expenses, annual Contract expenses and annual Fund expenses. The Example assumes that you invest $100,000 in the Contract for the time periods indicated. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year, and assumes the most expensive combination of annual Fund expenses and add-on benefits available for an additional charge (using the maximum possible charge). Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

If you take a total withdrawal of your Contract Value at the end of the applicable time periodIf you annuitize at the end of the applicable time period
