Ladies and Gentlemen:
I am furnishing this opinion in connection with the
registration, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of Individual Supplemental Immediate Fixed Income Annuity Contracts that Nationwide Life Insurance Company (Nationwide) continuously offers and sells. I have examined the filing of the
Registration Statement on Form S-1, and related documents, and I have reviewed the questions of law I considered necessary and appropriate. On the basis of this examination and review, it is my opinion that:
| (1) | Nationwide is a corporation duly organized and validly existing as a stock life insurance company under the laws of the State of Ohio, and is duly authorized by the Insurance Department of the State of Ohio to issue the contracts. |
| (2) | Nationwide has filed the form of the contract in the states where it is eligible for approval. Upon issuance, the contract will be a valid and binding obligation of Nationwide. |
I hereby consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to
this Registration Statement.
Sincerely,
/s/ Benjamin Mischnick
