Important Information You Should Consider About the Contract
FEES AND EXPENSES
(see Fee Table and Charges and Deductions in the statutory prospectus)
Charges for Early
Withdrawals
If the Contract Ownerwithdraws money from the contract within 7 years following his/her
last purchase payment, a Contingent Deferred Sales Charge (or "CDSC") may apply (see
Contingent Deferred Sales Charge in the statutory prospectus). The CDSC is used to
recoup sales and other expenses associated with the contract that Nationwide incurs
during the early years of the contract. The CDSC will not exceed 7% of the amount of
purchase payments withdrawn, declining to 0% over 7 years.
For example, for a contract with a $100,000 investment, a withdrawal taken during the
CDSC period could result in a CDSC of up to $7,000.
Transaction Charges
Nationwide also charges a loan processing fee at the time each new loan is processed
(see Loan Privilege in the statutory prospectus).
Ongoing Fees and
Expenses (annual
charges)
The table below describes the fees and expenses that you may pay each year, depending
on the options chosen. Please refer to your contract specifications page for information
about the specific fees you will pay each year based on the options you have elected.

Because each contract is customizable, the options elected affect how much each
Contract Ownerwill pay. To help you understand the cost of owning the contract, the
following table shows the lowest and highest cost a Contract Ownercould pay each year,
based on current charges. This estimate assumes that no withdrawals are taken from the
contract, which could add a CDSC that substantially increases costs.
Lowest Annual Cost Estimate:
$1,486.13
Highest Annual Cost Estimate:
$4,374.98
Assumes:
• Investment of $100,000
• 5% annual appreciation
• Least expensive underlying mutual fund fees

RISKS
Risk of Loss
Contract Ownersof variable annuities can lose money by investing in the contract,
including loss of principal (see Principal Risks in the statutory prospectus).
Not a Short-Term
Investment
The contract is not a short-term investment and is not appropriate for an investor who
needs ready access to cash. Nationwide has designed the contract to offer features,
pricing, and investment options that encourage long-term ownership (see Principal Risks in
the statutory prospectus).
A CDSC may apply for up to 7 years following the last purchase payment and could reduce
the value of the contract if purchase payments are withdrawn during that time (see
Contingent Deferred Sales Charge in the statutory prospectus). The benefits of tax
deferral also mean that the contract is more beneficial to investors with a long time horizon
(see Principal Risks in the statutory prospectus).
5
RISKS
Risks Associated with
Investment Options
• Investment in this contract is subject to the risk of poor investment performance of the
investment options chosen by the Contract Owner.
• Each investment option (including the Fixed Account) has its own unique risks.
• Review the prospectuses and disclosures for the investment options before making an
investment decision.
See Principal Risks in the statutory prospectus.
Insurance Company Risks
Investment in the contract is subject to the risks associated with Nationwide, including that
any obligations (including interest payable for allocations to the Fixed Account),
guarantees, or benefits are subject to the claims-paying ability of Nationwide. More
information about Nationwide, including its financial strength ratings, is available by
contacting Nationwide at the address and/or toll-free phone number indicated in
Contacting theService Center in the statutory prospectus(see Principal Risks in the
statutory prospectus).
RESTRICTIONS
Investments
• Nationwide reserves the right to add, remove, and substitute investment options
available under the contract (see The Sub-Accountsand Underlying Mutual Funds in the
statutory prospectus).
• Allocations to the Fixed Account may not be transferred to another investment option
except at the end of a Fixed Account interest rate guarantee period (see The Fixed
Account in the statutory prospectus).
• Not all investment options may be available under your contract (see Appendix A:
Underlying Mutual Funds Available Under the Contract in the statutory prospectus).
• Transfers between Sub-Accounts are subject to policies designed to deter short-term
and excessively frequent transfers. Nationwide may restrict the form in which transfer
requests will be accepted (see Transfer Restrictions in the statutory prospectus).
Optional Benefits
• Certain optional benefits limit or restrict the investment options available for investment.
• Nationwide reserves the right to discontinue offering any optional benefit. Such a
discontinuance will only apply to new contracts and will not impact any contracts already
in force.
See Benefits Under the Contract in the statutory prospectus.
TAXES
Tax Implications
• Consult with a tax professional to determine the tax implications of an investment in and
payments received under this contract.
• If the contract is purchased through a tax-qualified plan or IRA, there is no additional tax
deferral.
• Earnings in the contract are taxed at ordinary income tax rates at the time of
withdrawals and there may be a tax penalty if withdrawals are taken before the Contract
Ownerreaches age 59½.
See Appendix C: Contract Types and Tax Information in the statutory prospectus.
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
Investment Professional
Compensation
Some financial professionals receive compensation for selling the contract. Compensation
can take the form of commission and other indirect compensation in that Nationwide may
share the revenue it earns on this contract with the financial professional's firm. This
conflict of interest may influence a financial professional, as these financial professionals
may have a financial incentive to offer or recommend this contract over another investment
(see Distribution, Promotional, and Sales Expenses in the statutory prospectus).
Exchanges
Some financial professionals may have a financial incentive to offer an investor a new
contract in place of the one he/she already owns. An investor should only exchange his/her
contract if he/she determines, after comparing the features, fees, and risks of both
contracts, that it is preferable for him/her to purchase the new contract, rather than to
continue to own the existing one (see Replacements and Distribution, Promotional, and
Sales Expenses in the statutory prospectus).
