IMPORTANT INFORMATION YOU SHOULD CONSIDER ABOUT THE POLICY

FEES AND EXPENSES LOCATION IN
PROSPECTUS
Charges for Early Withdrawals

The maximum surrender charge that you can pay while you own the policy is equal to 0.50% of the policy face amount plus 28.50% of premiums paid for single life policies. For multiple life policies, the maximum surrender charge is 30.00% of premiums paid. The surrender charge begins to decrease after five policy years, and becomes zero after ten policy years.

For example, for a single life policy with a $100,000 face amount and $20,000 in premiums paid, the maximum full surrender charge would be $500 + $5700, or $6200.

Fee Tables; Charges and Deductions
Transaction Charges

In addition to the full surrender charge, you also may be charged for other transactions. Specifically:

Partial Surrender Charge. Deducted from the policy value upon a partial surrender of the policy. This charge is equal to the charge that would apply upon a full surrender multiplied by the partial surrender amount divided by the result of subtracting the full surrender charge from the policy value. A similar partial surrender charge also is deducted from policy value upon a decrease in face amount.

Partial Surrender Fee. A charge in addition to the partial surrender charge, equal to a percentage of the partial surrender amount.

Issue Expense Charge And Face Amount Increase. This charge, designed to recoup our policy issuance expenses, is deducted on each of the first 12 monthly calculation days after policy issue or face amount increase (1/12th of the total amount on each such day).

Premium Tax Charge. Deducted from each premium payment you make.

Federal Tax Charge. Deducted from each premium payment you make.

Transfer Charge. At present, we do not charge for transfers between investment options, but we reserve the right to charge up to $10 per transfer after the first two transfers in any given policy year.

FEES AND EXPENSES LOCATION IN
PROSPECTUS
Ongoing Fees and Expenses (annual charges) In addition to surrender charges and transaction charges, an investment in the policy is subject to certain ongoing fees and expenses, including fees and expenses covering the cost of insurance under the policy, the administrative charge, the mortality and expense risk charge, and the cost of optional benefits available under the policy. Such fees and expenses may be set based on characteristics of the insured (e.g., age, sex, and rating classification). You should view the policy specifications page of your policy for the rates applicable to your policy. Fee Tables; Charges and Deductions
You will also bear expenses associated with the underlying funds under the policy, as shown in the following table

RISKS LOCATION IN
PROSPECTUS
Risk of Loss You can lose money by investing in the policy. Principal Risks of Investment in the Policy
Not a Short-Term Investment

•   A policy is not a short-term investment and is not appropriate for an investor who needs ready access to cash.

•   We may apply a surrender charge with respect to any surrender you make from the policy.

•   A surrender may also reduce your policy's face amount and may have adverse tax consequences.

•   You can avoid surrender charges and such possible adverse tax consequences by holding your policy for the long-term and minimizing surrenders.

•   Tax deferral generally is more beneficial to investors with a long time horizon.

Risks Associated with Investment Options

•   An investment in this policy is subject to the risk of poor investment performance of the funds you choose, which performance can vary among the funds.

•   Each fund (as well as the GIA) has its own unique risks.

•   You should review the investment options before making an investment decision.

Principal Risks of Investment in the Policy; The Guaranteed Interest Accounts; Appendix A: Investment Options Available Under the Policy
Insurance Company Risks Any obligations, guarantees, and benefits of the policy are subject to the claims-paying ability of Nassau Life. If Nassau Life experiences financial distress, it may not be able to meet its obligations to you. More information about Nassau Life, including its financial strength ratings, is available upon request by calling toll-free at 1-800-541-0171 Nassau Life Insurance Company
Contract Lapse Your policy will remain in force only as long as the cash surrender value is enough to pay the monthly charges incurred under the policy. If the cash surrender value is no longer enough to pay the monthly charges, the policy will lapse, or end. Factors that may cause your policy to lapse include: insufficient premium payments, poor investment performance, surrenders, and unpaid loans or loan interest. To prevent your policy from lapsing, you must during the grace period pay an amount equal to three times the required monthly deduction plus any other amount due. The death benefit will not be paid if the policy has lapsed. Lapse and Reinstatement
RESTRICTIONS LOCATION IN

Investments

If you choose to participate in an asset allocation program or strategic program, the assets you have dedicated to the program will be limited by the terms of the program.

We do not permit transfers of less than $500 unless either (a) the entire balance in the investment option or the Guaranteed Interest Account is being transferred or (b) the transfer is part of a Systematic Transfer Program.

Transfers out of the Guaranteed Interest Accounts are limited to one transfer per year. The amount you may transfer out of the Guaranteed Interest Accounts is limited based on a schedule described later in this Prospectus.

RESTRICTIONS LOCATION IN
PROSPECTUS

We reserve the right to reject or restrict transfers if we determine the transfers reflect frequent trading or a market timing strategy, or we are required to reject or restrict the transfer by the applicable fund.

Nassau Life reserves the right to remove or substitute funds as investment options that are available under the policy.
Optional Benefits We offer several optional riders under the policy. The insurance features added by these riders include waiver of premium in the event of total disability and payment of an additional death benefit in the event of accidental death. Optional Insurance Benefits
TAXES LOCATION IN

Tax Implications

•   You should consult with a tax professional to determine the tax implications of an investment in and payments received under the policy.

•   If you purchase the policy through a qualified retirement plan or individual retirement account, you do not receive any additional tax deferral.

•   Any gain on your policy is taxed at ordinary income tax rates when withdrawn, and you may have to pay a penalty tax if you take a withdrawal before age 591/2.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST LOCATION IN
PROSPECTUS
Investment Professional Compensation

Currently, we do not make new sales of the policy, and thus the compensation practices described here relate primarily to compensation with respect to prior sales.

Your registered representative may have received compensation for selling the policy to you. We generally pay compensation as a percentage of premium payments invested in the policy ("commissions"). Nassau Life may also pay for sales and distribution expenses out of any payments we or the principal underwriter of the contracts may receive from the funds for providing administrative, marketing and other support and services to the funds. To the extent permitted by FINRA rules and other applicable laws and regulations, the principal underwriter may pay or allow other promotional incentives or payments in the form of cash or other compensation.

Principal Underwriter

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST LOCATION IN
PROSPECTUS

The presence of these forms of compensation can influence a registered representative to recommend the policy over another investment.

Exchanges As a general matter, some investment professionals could have a financial incentive to offer you this policy in place of another policy you currently own. Similarly, some investment professionals may have a financial incentive to offer you a new policy to replace this policy. You should only exchange your current policy if you determine, after comparing the features, fees, and risks of both policies, that it is better for you to purchase this policy rather than continue to own your existing policy. Currently, we do not offer this policy for new sales, and thus would not offer this policy in connection with such a replacement transaction. Principal Underwriter
