Accumulation Unit-An accounting unit we use to calculate the Variable Accumulation Value prior to the Annuity Commencement Date. Each Investment Division of the Separate Account has a distinct variable Accumulation Unitvalue.
Accumulation Value-The sum of the Variable Accumulation Value and the DCA Advantage Account Accumulation Value of a policy by any withdrawals in excess of any gain in the policy.
Advisory Fee -The amount we allow to be taken from your policy's Accumulation Value, or for policies issued in New York, the amount paid from assets outside of the policy as designated by the policy owner, to pay the Investment Adviser for investment advisory services relating to the policy. The fee is set by the Investment Adviser and is covered in a separate agreement between you and the Investment Adviser. We allow an annual Advisory Fee of up to 1.0% of your Accumulation Value, which is calculated and collected monthly. For all states other than New York, Advisory Fees reduce your Accumulation Value by the amount of the fee.
Business Day-Generally, any day on which the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is open for trading. Our Business Day ends at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time or the close of regular trading of the NYSE, if earlier.
Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) Advantage Account- A non-variable allocation option to which you may allocate Premium Payments, subject to the limitations described on the Policy Data Page, and from which amounts are transferred to the Investment Divisions proportionally on a monthly basis. The DCA Advantage Account duration is shown on the Policy Data Page. We credit the DCA Advantage Account with a fixed interest rate. The benefits payable under the DCA Advantage Account (including principal and interest) are payable from NYLIAC's general account and are subject to the claims-paying ability of NYLIAC.
Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) Advantage Account Accumulation Value-The sum of premium payments allocated to the DCA Advantage Account, plus interest credited on those premium payments , less any transfers and partial withdrawals from the DCA Advantage Account, and rider charges deducted from the DCA Advantage Account.

IPR Free Withdrawal Amount-The maximum amount in any given Policy Year that is not subject to the IPR Termination and Withdrawal Charge. Such maximum amount is equal to (a) the greater of either (i) 20% of the IPR Guaranteed Amount as of the last Policy Anniversary (or the sum of all premium payments if assessed in the first policy year) or (ii) the required minimum distribution applicable to the policy as of the last Policy Anniversary, minus (b) any prior Guaranteed Amount Proportional Reductions made during the current Policy Year that were free of a Termination and Withdrawal Charge.
IPR Guaranteed Amount-The IPR Guaranteed Amount will equal a percentage of the sum of all premium payments made in the first Policy Year, less all IPR Guaranteed Amount Proportional Reductions made during the rider Holding Period.
IPR Guarantee Percentage-The percentage used to calculate the IPR Guaranteed Amount. This percentage is shown on your IPR rider data page.
IPR Reset-Changing the guaranteed amount of the Investment Preservation Rider to a new IPR Guaranteed Amount.

Charges for Early
Withdrawal
We do not assess any early withdrawal charges on the base contract.
If, however, you purchase the IPR, you will be assessed an IPR
Termination and Withdrawal Charge if you surrender your policy within
the first three Policy Years. The maximum charge is 2% of the IPR
Guaranteed Amount that exceeds the IPR Free Withdrawal Amount.
For example, if your IPR Guaranteed Amount is $100,000 and you
surrender your policy within the first three Policy Years, you could pay
an IPR Termination and Withdrawal Charge of $1,600.00. For the IPR
Termination and Withdrawal Charge applicable to policies issued in
New York, see APPENDIX 2 - State Variations in the Prospectus.

Charges
We reserve the right to assess a transaction charge if you transfer cash
value between investment options more than 25 times a year, or if a
premium payment is returned for insufficient funds. Although we do not
currently charge for such transactions, we reserve the right to charge
up to $30 per transaction. If you elect the IPR, you will be assessed an
IPR Termination and Withdrawal Charge if you (i) cancel the IPR;
(ii) surrender the policy; and/or (iii) take a partial withdrawal in excess
of the IPR Free Withdrawal Amount during the first three Policy Years.

IPR Free Withdrawal Amount or surrender the policy within the first
three Policy Years, the IPR Termination and Withdrawal Charge could
substantially increase costs.
Because your policy is customizable, the choices you make affect how
much you will pay. To help you understand the cost of owning your

pay eachyear, based on current charges. This estimate assumes that
you do not take withdrawals from the policy.

PROSPECTUS
Risk of Loss
You can lose money by investing in this policy.
PRINCIPAL RISKS
Not a Short-Term
Investment
This policy is not designed for short-term investing and may not be
appropriate for an investor who readily needs access to cash. The
benefits of tax deferral and living benefit protections also mean the
policy is more beneficial to investors with a long time horizon. If you
elect the IPR, you will not receive a benefit under the rider unless you
hold the policy for at least the specified holding period applicable to the
rider. Moreover, if you withdraw more than the IPR Free Withdrawal
Amount (not including withdrawals to pay Advisory Fees in states other
than New York) within the first three Policy Years, you will incur an IPR
Termination and Withdrawal Charge, which could substantially increase
your costs under the Policy.

Risks Associated
with Investment
Options
•An investment in this policy is subject to the risk of poor investment
performance and can vary depending on the performance of the
variable investment options you choose and the crediting rate of the
DCA Advantage Account.
•Each investment option and the DCA Advantage Account has its own
unique risks.
•You should review the prospectuses for the available Portfolios and
the description in this prospectus of the DCA Advantage Account
before making an investment decision.

distress, it may not be able to meet its obligations to you. More
information about NYLIAC is available upon request from NYLIAC by

Optional Benefits
•If you elect certain optional benefits, you can only make premium
payments during your first Policy Year or after the rider holding period
end date.
•Certain optional benefits limit or restrict the investment options you
may select under the policy. We may change these restrictions in the
future.
•Certain optional benefits may limit withdrawals or other rights under
the policy.
•Under certain benefits, a withdrawal could reduce the value of a
benefit by more than the dollar amount of the withdrawal.
•You are required to have a minimum Accumulation Value for some
optional benefits.
•Some optional benefits cannot be cancelled without surrendering
your policy.
•The amount of the death benefit available under certain optional
benefits may vary depending on the date of death. Certain optional
benefits may offer a lesser death benefit at issue and require that the
policy be held for a minimum waiting period before the greater death
benefit will be payable. If you die before the end of the minimum
waiting period, the death benefit will be less than the greater death
benefit available after the minimum waiting period. Additionally, where
there is a reset of certain optional benefit riders, a new minimum
waiting period will be required before the greater death benefit will be
payable. If you die before the end of the new minimum waiting
period, the death benefit may be less than the greater death benefit
available after the new minimum waiting period.

Tax
Implications
•Consult with a tax professional to determine the tax implications of
an investment in, withdrawals from and surrenders of this policy,
including withdrawals to pay Advisory Fees.
•If you purchase the policy through a tax-qualified plan or individual
retirement account (IRA), such plan or IRA already provides tax
deferral under the Code and there are fees and charges in an annuity
that may not be included in such other investments. Therefore, the
tax deferral of the annuity does not provide additional benefits.
•Premiums that are made on a pre-tax basis as well as earnings on
your policy are taxed at ordinary income tax rates when you withdraw
them, and you may have to pay a 10% penalty tax if you take a
withdrawal before age 59 ½.

Professional
Compensation
After you purchase the policy, the Investment Adviser will receive
compensation in the form of Advisory Fees, some of which the
Investment Adviser will pay to your investment adviser representative.
Your investment adviser representative will also receive other
compensation provided by NYLIAC. Given that a recommendation of
this policy allows your investment adviser representative to earn other
forms of compensation which may not be available in connection with
other investments, the Investment Adviser and your investment adviser
representative may have a financial incentive to offer or recommend
this policy over other investments.
DISTRIBUTION AND
COMPENSATION
ARRANGEMENTS

Exchanges
Your investment adviser representative may have a financial incentive
to offer you a new policy in place of the one you own because an
exchange will result in compensation for the Investment Adviser in the
form of Advisory Fees, some of which will be paid to your investment
adviser representative. Your investment adviser representative will also
receive other compensation provided by NYLIAC. You should only
consider exchanging your policy if you determine, after comparing the
features, fees, and risks of both policies, that it is in your best interest
to purchase the new policy rather than continue to own your existing
policy.

Portfolios Available Under the Policy
The following is a list of Portfolios available under the policy, which is subject to change, as discussed in the prospectus.

You may allocate your premium payments or other Accumulation Value to up to 18 different Investment Divisions at any one time in addition to the DCA Advantage Account.
The current expenses and performance information below reflects fees and expenses of the Portfolios but does not reflect the other fees and expenses that your policy or the Investment Advisor may charge. Expenses would be higher and performance would be lower if these charges were included. Each Portfolio's past performance is not necessarily an indication of future performance.

For the 7-year and 10-year holding period options, your available allocation options are listed in APPENDIX 1C.
