BENEFITS AND RISKS OF PACIFIC SELECT EXEC IV
 
This overview tells you some key things you should know about your Policy. It is designed as a summary only – please read the entire prospectus and your Policy for more detailed information, or contact us or your insurance professional for additional information about your Policy. All of your material rights and obligations are disclosed in this prospectus.
 
The Policy is offered for sale in all jurisdictions where we are authorized to do business and where the Policy is approved by the appropriate insurance department or regulatory authorities. Individual Policy features may not be available in all states or may vary by state. The state in which your Policy is issued governs whether or not certain features, Riders, charges and fees are allowed in your Policy. Any significant variations from the information appearing in this prospectus which are required due to individual state requirements are contained in your Policy, or provided by separate endorsement and outlined in Appendix B. You should refer to your Policy for these state specific features.
 
Benefits of your policy
 Flexibility
 
The Policy is designed to be flexible to meet your specific life insurance needs. Within certain limits, you can:
 
•  choose the timing, amount and frequency of premium payments
 
•  change the Death Benefit Option
 
•  increase or decrease the Policy’s Total Face Amount
 
•  change the Beneficiary
 
•  change your investment selections.
 
 Death Benefit
 
The Death Benefit will always be the greater of the Death Benefit under the Option you choose or the Minimum Death Benefit. The Minimum Death Benefit is the lowest Death Benefit that we must pay to ensure that your Policy qualifies as life insurance.
 
You may choose one of three Death Benefit Options:
 
•  Option A – your Death Benefit will be the Total Face Amount of your Policy.
 
•  Option B – your Death Benefit will be the Total Face Amount of your Policy plus its Accumulated Value.
 
•  Option C – your Death Benefit will be the Total Face Amount of your Policy plus the total premiums you have paid minus any withdrawals or distributions made. However, the Death Benefit will never exceed the Option C Death Benefit Limit shown in the Policy Specifications.
 
You may choose between two ways to calculate the Minimum Death Benefit:
 
•  Cash Value Accumulation Test – generally does not limit the amount of premiums you can pay into your Policy.
 
•  Guideline Premium Test – limits the amount of premiums you can pay on your Policy, and the Minimum Death Benefit will generally be smaller than under the Cash Value Accumulation Test.
 
The test you choose will generally depend on the amount of premiums you want to pay relative to your desired Death Benefit.
 
 Accumulated Value
 
Accumulated Value is the value of your Policy on any Business Day. It is not guaranteed – it depends on the performance of the Investment Options you have chosen, the timing and amount of premium payments you have made, Policy charges, and how much you have borrowed or withdrawn from the Policy.
 
You can access your Accumulated Value in several ways:
 
•  Withdrawals – you can withdraw part of your Policy’s Net Cash Surrender Value.
 
•  Loans – you can take out a loan from us using your Policy’s Accumulated Value as security.


3



 

•  Income benefits – you can use withdrawal or surrender benefits to buy an income benefit that provides a monthly income. In addition, your Policy’s Beneficiary can use Death Benefit proceeds to buy an income benefit.
 
•  Surrender – you can surrender or cash in your Policy for its Net Cash Surrender Value while an Insured is alive.
 
 Investment Options
 
You can choose to allocate your net premiums and Accumulated Value among a selection of Variable Investment Options, each of which invests in a corresponding portfolio of various underlying Funds. The Policy also offers two Fixed Options, both of which provide a guaranteed minimum rate of interest.
 
You can transfer among the Investment Options during the life of your Policy without paying any current income tax. There is currently no charge for transfers.
 
 Tax Benefits
 
Your Beneficiary generally will not have to pay federal income tax on Death Benefit Proceeds. You will also generally not be taxed on any or all of your Policy’s Accumulated Value unless you receive a cash distribution.
 
Risks of your policy
 Long-term Financial Planning
 
This Policy is designed to provide a Death Benefit for family members or others or to help meet other long-term financial objectives. It is not suitable as a short-term savings vehicle. It may not be the right kind of policy if you plan to withdraw money or surrender your Policy for short-term needs. Taking a withdrawal or surrendering your Policy may incur charges. See the Fee Tables and your Policy for charges assessed when withdrawing from or surrendering your Policy.
 
Please discuss your insurance needs and financial objectives with your insurance professional.
 
 Premium Payments
 
Federal tax law puts limits on the premium payments you can make in relation to your Policy’s Death Benefit. We may refuse all or part of a premium payment you make, or remove all or part of a premium from your Policy and return it to you under certain circumstances.
 
 Lapse
 
Your Policy stays In Force as long as you have sufficient Accumulated Value to cover your monthly deductions of Policy charges. Insufficient premium payments, poor investment performance, withdrawals, and unpaid loans or loan interest may cause your Policy to lapse – which means you will no longer have any insurance coverage. There are costs associated with reinstating a lapsed Policy.
 
There is no guarantee that your Policy will not lapse even if you pay your planned periodic premium. You should consider a periodic review of your coverage with your insurance professional.
 
 Investment Performance
 
Each Variable Investment Option invests in a corresponding portfolio of an underlying Fund, as detailed in Your Investment Options. The value of each portfolio fluctuates with the value of the investments it holds. Returns are not guaranteed. You bear the investment risk of any Variable Investment Option you choose.
 
See each Fund’s prospectus for more information on the underlying portfolios and their individual risks.
 
 Withdrawals and Loans
 
Making a withdrawal or taking out a loan may:
 
•  change your Policy’s tax status
 
•  reduce your Policy’s Total Face Amount
 
•  reduce your Policy’s Death Benefit
 
•  reduce the Death Benefit Proceeds paid to your Beneficiary
 
•  make your Policy more susceptible to lapsing.
 
•  limit your access to the Policy’s Accumulated Value
 
Be sure to plan carefully before using these Policy benefits.
 
Your Policy’s withdrawal feature is not available until your first Policy Anniversary.

 General Account
 
Unlike the assets in our Separate Account, the assets in our General Account are subject to liabilities arising from any of our other business. Our ability to pay General Account guarantees is backed by our financial strength and claims paying ability. We may be unable to meet our obligations with regard to the General Account interest guarantee.
 
 Tax Consequences of Withdrawals, Surrenders and Loans
 
You may be subject to income tax if you take any withdrawals or surrender the Policy, or if your Policy lapses and you have not repaid any outstanding Policy Debt.
 
If your Policy is a Modified Endowment Contract, all distributions you receive during the life of the Policy may be subject to tax and a 10% penalty.
 
There are other tax issues to consider when you own a life insurance policy. These are described in more detail in Variable Life Insurance and Your Taxes.

2 Cost of insurance rates apply uniformly to all members of the same Class. The cost of insurance charges shown in the table may not be typical of the charges you will pay. Your Policy Specifications will indicate the guaranteed cost of insurance charge applicable to your Policy, and more detailed information concerning your cost of insurance charges is available on request from your insurance professional or us. Also, before you purchase the Policy, you may request personalized illustrations of your future benefits under the Policy based upon the Insured’s Class, the Death Benefit Option, Face Amount, planned periodic premiums, and any Riders requested. Cost of insurance rates for your Policy will be stated in the Policy Specifications and calculated using the Net Amount At Risk.
 
3 Charges shown for this sample Policy may not be typical of the charges you will pay.
 
4 The Coverage Charge rate is based on the Age and Risk Class of the Insured on the Policy Date or date Rider is effective. It also varies with the Death Benefit Option you choose. Each Coverage Layer will have a corresponding Coverage charge related to the amount of the increase, based on the Age and Risk Class of the Insured at the time of the increase. Ask your insurance professional for information regarding this charge for your Policy. The Coverage Charge for your Policy will be stated in the Policy Specifications.
 
5 In addition to the loan interest charge, the Loan Account Value that is used to secure Policy Debt will be credited interest at a minimum of 2.50%. Interest on the Loan Account and Policy Debt accrues daily. On each policy anniversary, we transfer the excess of the Policy Debt over Loan Account Value from the Investment Options to the Loan Account. If the Loan Account Value is greater than Policy Debt, then such excess is transferred from the Loan Account to the Investment Options.
 
6 Riders are briefly described under The Death Benefit: Optional Riders and more information appears in the SAI. Except for the Childrens Term Rider, Rider charges are based on the Age and Risk Class of the person insured under the Rider on the effective date of the Rider. Ask your insurance professional for information on optional Rider charges for your Policy. The charges for any optional benefit Riders you add to your Policy will be stated in the Policy Specifications.
 
7 Guaranteed Insurability Rider is only available to Insureds age 37 and under at Policy issue.
 
8 The SVER Term Insurance Rider maximum guaranteed Coverage Charge for this sample Policy (assuming Death Benefit Option A or C is used) is $0/month per $1,000 of Coverage Layer in Policy Year 1, $0.35/month per $1,000 of Coverage Layer in Policy Year 2, and $0.53/month per $1,000 of Coverage Layer in Policy Years 3-10. In Policy Year 11 and thereafter, the charge is reduced to $0.35/month per $1,000 of Coverage Layer.
 
9 The SVER Term Insurance Rider – Trust/Executive Benefit maximum guaranteed Coverage Charge for this sample Policy (assuming Death Benefit Option A or C is used) is $0/month per $1,000 of Coverage Layer in Policy Year 1, $0.80/month per $1,000 of Coverage Layer in Policy Year 2, and $1.20/month per $1,000 of Coverage Layer in Policy Years 3-10. In Policy Year 11 and thereafter, the charge is reduced to $0.80/month per $1000 of Coverage Layer.
 
10 The alternate accumulated value is a calculated value reflecting a minimum level of earnings for the Policy. It is based on actual premiums paid less an alternate premium load, actual monthly deductions taken from the Policy’s Accumulated Value, and an alternate accumulated value monthly factor representing an annual interest crediting rate. The alternate accumulated value monthly factor will never be less than 1.00295 (3.6% annually), and the alternate premium load rate will never exceed 25% of premiums paid. The Rider also has a minimum premium requirement to remain in force. Cumulative premium paid by the end of the 9th Policy Year must be equal to or greater than the Rider’s minimum premium requirement, which will never exceed 450% of the guideline level premiums at Policy issue. The alternate accumulated value monthly factor, alternate premium load and minimum premium requirement are shown in the Policy Specifications.
 
11 Plus any Annual Renewable Term Rider – Additional Insured Face Amount.
 
12 The charge to exercise the Overloan Protection II Rider is shown as a table in your Policy Specifications. The charge varies by the Insured’s gender, Risk Class and Age at the time the Rider is exercised.

Total annual Fund operating expenses1
 
This table shows the minimum and maximum total annual operating expenses paid by the portfolios that you pay indirectly during the time you own the Policy. This table shows the range (minimum and maximum) of fees and expenses (including management fees, shareholder servicing or distribution (12b-1) fees, and other expenses) charged by any of the portfolios, expressed as an annual percentage of average daily net assets. The amounts are based on expenses paid in the year ended December 31, 2010, adjusted to reflect anticipated changes in fees and expenses, or, for new portfolios, are based on estimates for the current fiscal year.
 
Each Variable Account of the Separate Account purchases shares of the corresponding Fund portfolio at net asset value. The net asset value reflects the investment advisory fees and other expenses that are deducted from the assets of the portfolio. The advisory fees and other expenses are not fixed or specified under the terms of the Policy, and they may vary from year to year. These fees and expenses are described in each Fund’s prospectus.
 
                 
    Minimum   Maximum
   
 
Range of total annual portfolio operating expenses before any waivers or expense reimbursements

    Minimum   Maximum
   
 
Range of total annual portfolio operating expenses after waivers or expense reimbursements
    0.28%       1.70%  
 
To help limit Fund expenses, Fund advisers have contractually agreed to reduce investment advisory fees or otherwise reimburse certain portfolios of their respective Funds which may reduce the portfolio’s expenses. The range of expenses in the first row above does not include the effect of any waiver and/or expense reimbursement arrangement. The range of expenses in the second row includes the effect of waiver and/or expense reimbursement arrangements that will remain in effect at least through April 30, 2012. There can be no assurance that expense waivers or reimbursements will be extended beyond their current terms, and they may not cover certain expenses such as extraordinary expenses. See each Fund’s prospectus for complete information regarding annual operating expenses of that Fund.
 
Some Investment Options available to you are “fund of funds”. A fund of funds portfolio is a fund that invests in other funds in addition to other investments that the portfolio may make. Some funds of funds may have fees higher than other available Investment Options. The fees for the funds of funds Investment Options available under your Policy are in the range of total portfolio operating expenses disclosed above. For more information on these portfolios, please see the prospectuses for the Funds.

Cash Surrender Value – the Policy’s Accumulated Value less any surrender charge.
 
Cash Value Accumulation Test – one of two Death Benefit Qualification Tests available under the Policy, and defined in Section 7702(b) of the Tax Code.

Death Benefit Proceeds – the amount which is payable to the Beneficiary on the date of the Insured’s death, adjusted as provided in the Policy.

PACIFIC SELECT EXEC IV BASICS
 
Pacific Select Exec IV is a flexible premium variable life insurance policy that insures the life of one person and pays Death Benefit Proceeds after that person has died.
 
When you buy a Pacific Select Exec IV life insurance Policy, you are entering into a contract with Pacific Life Insurance Company. Your contract with us is made up of your application, your Policy, applications to change or reinstate the Policy, any amendments, Riders or endorsements to your Policy, and Policy Specifications.
 
Issuing the Policy
 
Your insurance professional will assist you in completing your application for the Policy. Your insurance professional’s broker-dealer firm has up to 7 business days to review the application before it is sent to us. When we approve your signed application, we will issue your Policy. If your application does not meet our underwriting and administrative requirements, we can reject it or ask you for more information. Your Policy will be sent to your insurance professional for delivery to you. You will be asked to sign a policy delivery receipt. For Policy delivery status, check with your insurance professional.
 
Our obligations to you under the Policy begin when it is In Force. We consider your Policy In Force when the following requirements are met:
 
•  all necessary contractual and administrative requirements are met, and
 
•  we receive and apply the initial premium to the Policy.
 
If there are any outstanding contractual or administrative requirements that prevent your Policy from being placed In Force, your insurance professional will review them with you no later than when the Policy is delivered. See How Premiums Work: Your initial premium for more information.
 
Your Policy will be In Force until one of the following happens:
 
•  the Insured dies
 
•  the grace period expires and your Policy lapses, or
 
•  you surrender your Policy.
 
If your Policy is not In Force when the Insured dies, we are not obligated to pay the Death Benefit Proceeds to your Beneficiary.
 
Owners, the Insured, and Beneficiaries
 
Owners
You can own a Policy by yourself or with someone else. You need the signatures of all Owners for all Policy transactions.
 
If one of the Joint Owners dies, the surviving Owners will hold all rights under the Policy. If the Owner or the last Joint Owner dies, his or her estate will own the Policy unless you have given us other instructions.
 
You can change the Owner of your Policy by completing a Change of Owner Form. Please contact us or your insurance professional for a Change of Owner Form. Once we receive and record your request, the change will be effective as of the day you signed the Change of Owner Form. You should consult your financial advisor or a lawyer about designating ownership interests.
 
The Insured
This Policy insures the life of one person who is Age 90 or younger at the time you apply for your Policy, and who has given us satisfactory evidence of insurability. The Policy pays Death Benefit Proceeds after the Insured has died.
 
The Insured is assigned an underwriting or insurance Risk Class which we use to calculate cost of insurance and other charges. Most insurance companies use similar risk classification criteria. We normally use the medical or paramedical underwriting method to assign underwriting or insurance Risk Classes, which may require a medical examination. We may, however, use other forms of underwriting if we think it is appropriate.
 
When we use a person’s Age in Policy calculations, we generally use his or her Age as of the nearest Policy Date, and we add one year to this Age on each Policy Anniversary. For example, when we talk about someone “reaching Age 100”, we are referring to the Policy Anniversary closest to that person’s 100th birthday, not to the day when he or she actually turns 100.

Beneficiaries
Here are some things you need to know about naming Beneficiaries:
 
•  You can name one or more primary Beneficiaries who each receive an equal share of the Death Benefit Proceeds unless you tell us otherwise. If one Beneficiary dies, his or her share will pass to the surviving primary Beneficiaries in proportion to the share of the Death Benefit Proceeds they’re entitled to receive, unless you tell us otherwise.
 
•  You can also name a contingent Beneficiary for each primary Beneficiary you name. The contingent Beneficiary will receive the Death Benefit Proceeds if the primary Beneficiary dies.
 
•  You can choose to make your Beneficiary permanent (sometimes called irrevocable). You cannot change a permanent Beneficiary’s rights under the Policy without his or her permission.
 
If no Beneficiary is living when the Death Benefit Proceeds are payable, you, as the Policy Owner, will receive the Death Benefit Proceeds. If you are no longer living, the Death Benefit Proceeds will go to your estate.
 
You can change your Beneficiary at any time while the Insured is alive, and while the Policy is In Force. If you would like to change your Policy’s Beneficiary, please contact us or your insurance professional for a Change of Beneficiary Form. Once we receive and record your request, the change will be effective as of the day you signed the Change of Beneficiary Form.

When we make payments and transfers
We will normally send the proceeds of withdrawals, loans, surrenders, exchanges and Death Benefit payments, and process transfer requests, within seven days after the effective date of the request in proper form. We may delay payments and transfers, or the calculation of payments and transfers based on the value in the Variable Investment Options under unusual circumstances, for example, if:
 
•  the New York Stock Exchange closes on a day other than a regular holiday or weekend
 
•  trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted
 
•  an emergency exists as determined by the SEC, as a result of which the sale of securities is not practicable, or it is not practicable to determine the value of a Variable Account’s assets, or
 
•  the SEC permits a delay for the protection of policy owners.
 
We may delay transfers and payments from the Fixed Options, including the proceeds from withdrawals, surrenders and loans, for up to six months. We will pay interest at an annual rate of at least 2.5% on any withdrawals or surrender proceeds from the Fixed Options that we delay for 10 days or more.
 
Death Benefit Proceeds paid are subject to the conditions and adjustments defined in other policy provisions, such as General Provisions, Withdrawals, Policy Loans, and Timing of Payments. We will pay interest on the Death Benefit Proceeds from the date of death at a rate not less than the rate payable for funds left on deposit. If payment of Death Benefit Proceeds is delayed more than 31 calendar days after we receive the above requirements needed to pay the claim, we will pay additional interest at a rate of 10% annually beginning with the 31st calendar day. Death Benefit Proceeds are paid as a lump sum unless you choose another payment method, as described in the Income Benefits section.
 
Statements and Reports We Will Send You
 
We send the following statements and reports to policy owners:
 
•  a confirmation for certain financial transactions, usually including premium payments and transfers, loans, loan repayments, withdrawals and surrenders. Monthly deductions and scheduled transactions made under the dollar cost averaging, portfolio rebalancing and first year transfer services are reported on your quarterly Policy statement.


16



 

•  a quarterly Policy statement. The statement will tell you the Accumulated Value of your Policy by Investment Options, Cash Surrender Value, the amount of the Death Benefit, the Policy’s Face Amount, and any Policy Debt. It will also include a summary of all transactions that have taken place since the last quarterly statement, as well as any other information required by law.
 
•  supplemental schedules of benefits and planned periodic premiums. We will send these to you if you change your Policy’s Face Amount or change any of the Policy’s other benefits.
 
•  financial statements, at least annually or as required by law, of the Separate Account and Pacific Select Fund, that include a listing of securities for each portfolio of the Pacific Select Fund. We will also send you financial statements that we receive from the other Funds.
 
If you identify an error on a confirmation, quarterly or annual statement, you must notify us in writing as soon as possible to ensure proper accounting to your policy. We assume transactions are accurate unless you notify us in writing within 90 days from the date of the transaction confirmation on which the error occurred or if the transaction is first confirmed on the quarterly statement, within 90 days after the quarterly statement date. All transactions are deemed final and may not be changed after the applicable 90 day period. When you write us, include your name, policy number and description of the identified error.
 
Mail will be sent to you at the mailing address you have provided. If mail is returned to us as undeliverable multiple times, we will discontinue mailing to your last known address. We will, however, regularly attempt to locate your new mailing address, and will resume mailing your policy related materials to you upon confirmation of your new address. You can access documents online by visiting www.PacificLife.com, or receive copies of documents from us upon request.

Understanding Policy Expenses and Cash Flow (including fees and charges of Fund portfolios)    
     
The chart to the right illustrates how cash normally flows through a Policy.

Under a flexible premium life insurance policy, you have the flexibility to choose the amount and frequency of your premium payments. You must, however, pay enough premiums to cover the ongoing cost of Policy benefits.

Investment earnings will increase your Policy’s Accumulated Value, while investment losses will decrease it. The premium payments you will be required to make to keep your Policy In Force will be influenced by the investment results of the Investment Options you choose.

The dark shaded boxes show the fees and expenses you pay directly or indirectly under your Policy.
  (FLOWCHART)

THE DEATH BENEFIT
 
We will pay Death Benefit Proceeds to your Beneficiary after the Insured dies while the Policy is still In Force. Your Beneficiary generally will not have to pay federal income tax on Death Benefit Proceeds.
 
The Face Amount
 
Your Policy’s initial amount of insurance coverage is its initial Face Amount. We determine the Face Amount based on instructions provided in your application.
 
The minimum Total Face Amount when a Policy is issued is usually $50,000, but we may reduce this in some circumstances. You will find your Policy’s Total Face Amount, which includes any increases or decreases, in the Policy Specifications in your Policy.
 
The Death Benefit
 
This Policy offers three Death Benefit Options, Options A, B, and C. The Death Benefit Option you choose will generally depend on which is more important to you: a larger Death Benefit or building the Accumulated Value of your Policy.
 
This Policy offers two ways to calculate the Minimum Death Benefit: the Cash Value Accumulation Test and the Guideline Premium Test. These are called Death Benefit Qualification Tests. The test you choose will generally depend on the amount of premiums you want to pay.
 
Here are some things you need to know about the Death Benefit:
 
•  You choose your Death Benefit Option and Death Benefit Qualification Test on your Policy application.
 
•  If you do not choose a Death Benefit Option, we will assume you have chosen Option A.
 
•  If you do not choose a Death Benefit Qualification Test, we will assume you have chosen the Guideline Premium Test.
 
•  The Death Benefit will always be the greater of the Death Benefit under the Death Benefit Option you choose or the Minimum Death Benefit, calculated using the Death Benefit Qualification Test you have chosen.
 
•  The Death Benefit will never be lower than the Total Face Amount of your Policy if you have chosen Option A or B. The Death Benefit Proceeds will always be reduced by any Policy Debt.
 
•  We will pay the Death Benefit Proceeds to your Beneficiary when we receive proof of the Insureds death.
 
Choosing Your Death Benefit Option
 
You can choose one of the following three Death Benefit Options for the Death Benefit on your application.
 
         
Option A – the Face Amount of your Policy.   Option B – the Face Amount of your Policy plus its Accumulated Value.   Option C – the Face Amount of your Policy plus the total premiums you have paid minus any withdrawals or distributions made.
         
(OPTION A GRAPHIC)   (OPTION B GRAPHIC)   (OPTION C GRAPHIC)
    The Death Benefit changes as your Policy’s Accumulated Value changes. The better your Investment Options perform, the larger the Death Benefit will be.   The more premiums you pay and the less you withdraw, the larger the Death Benefit will be.
 
The examples are intended to show how the Death Benefit Options work and are not predictive of investment performance in your Policy.
 
Limits on Option C
 
The following limits apply to Option C:
 
•  To elect Option C, the Insured must be Age 80 or younger at the time the Policy is issued.
 
•  The Death Benefit calculated under Option C will be limited to the amount shown in the Policy Specifications as the “Option C Death Benefit Limit,” an amount which will never exceed four times the Initial Total Face Amount of your Policy on the Policy Date.


20



 

 
Choosing a Death Benefit Qualification Test
 
This Policy offers two Death Benefit Qualification Tests that we use to calculate the Minimum Death Benefit. You choose one of these tests on your application.
 
Your Death Benefit Qualification Test affects the following:
 
•  premium limitations
 
•  amount of Minimum Death Benefit
 
•  monthly cost of insurance charges
 
•  flexibility to reduce Face Amount.
 
Each test determines what the Minimum Death Benefit should be in relation to your Policy’s Accumulated Value. The Death Benefit determined under either test will be at least equal to the amount required for the Policy to qualify as life insurance under the Tax Code.
 
Cash Value Accumulation Test
If you choose the Cash Value Accumulation Test, your Policy’s Minimum Death Benefit will be the greater of:
 
•  the lowest Death Benefit amount that’s needed for the Policy to qualify as life insurance under the Cash Value Accumulation Test in the Tax Code, or
 
•  101% of the Policy’s Accumulated Value.
 
Under this test, a Policy’s Death Benefit must be large enough to ensure that its Cash Surrender Value, as defined in Section 7702 of the Tax Code (and which is based on Accumulated Value, among other things), is never larger than the Net Single Premium that’s needed to fund future benefits under the Policy. The Net Single Premium under your Policy varies according to the Insured’s Age, sex, and Risk Class. It is calculated using an interest rate of at least 4% and the guaranteed mortality charges at the time the Policy is issued. We will use a higher interest rate if we have guaranteed it under your Policy.
 
An example
 
For a Policy that insures a male, Age 45 when the Policy was issued, with a standard nonsmoking Risk Class, in Policy Year 6 the Minimum Death Benefit under the Cash Value Accumulation Test is calculated by multiplying the Accumulated Value by a “Net Single Premium factor” of 3.0230.
 
Guideline Premium Test
Under this test, the Minimum Death Benefit is calculated by multiplying your Policy’s Accumulated Value by a Guideline Premium Death Benefit percentage. The Death Benefit percentage is based on the Age of the Insured, so it varies over time. It is 250% when the Insured is Age 40 or younger, and reduces as the person gets older. You will find a table of Death Benefit percentages in Appendix A and in your Policy.
 
Under the Guideline Premium Test, the total premiums you pay cannot exceed your Policy’s Guideline Premium Limit. Your Policy’s Guideline Premium Limit is the greater of:
 
•  the guideline single premium or
 
•  the sum of the guideline level annual premiums to date.
 
Before you buy a Policy, you can ask us or your insurance professional for a personalized Illustration that shows you the guideline single premium and guideline level annual premiums.
 
If you increase or decrease your coverage, the guideline single or level premiums may be increased or decreased. These changes may be more than proportionate.


21



 

Comparing the Death Benefit Qualification Tests
The table below shows a general comparison of how features of your Policy may be affected by your choice of Death Benefit Qualification Test. When choosing between the tests, you should consider:
 
         
    Cash Value
   
    Accumulation Test   Guideline Premium Test
 
         
Premium payments1
  Allows flexibility to pay more premium   Premium payments are limited under the Tax Code
         
Death Benefit
  Generally higher as Policy duration increases   May be higher in early years of Policy
         
Monthly cost of insurance charges
  May be higher, if the Death Benefit is higher   May be lower, except perhaps in early years of Policy
         
Face Amount decreases
  Will not require return of premium or distribution of Accumulated Value   May require return of premium or distribution of Accumulated Value to continue Policy as life insurance
 
 
 
1 We may limit premium payments to prevent your Policy from being classified as a Modified Endowment Contract.
 
Comparing the Death Benefit Options
 
The tables below compare the Death Benefits provided by the Policy’s available Death Benefit Options. The examples are intended only to show differences in Death Benefits and Net Amounts at Risk. Accumulated Value assumptions may not be realistic.
 
These examples show that each Death Benefit Option provides a different level of protection. Keep in mind that cost of insurance charges, which affect your Policy’s Accumulated Value, increase over time. The cost of insurance is charged at a rate based on the Net Amount At Risk. As the Net Amount At Risk increases, your cost of insurance increases. Accumulated Value also varies depending on the performance of the Investment Options in your Policy.
 
The example below is based on the following:
 
•  the Insured is Age 45 at the time the Policy was issued and dies at the beginning of the sixth Policy Year
 
•  Face Amount is $100,000
 
•  Accumulated Value at the date of death is $25,000
 
•  total premium paid into the Policy is $30,000
 
•  the Minimum Death Benefit under the Guideline Premium Test is $46,250 (assuming a Guideline Premium Test factor of 185% x Accumulated Value)
 
•  the Minimum Death Benefit under the Cash Value Accumulation Test is $75,575 (assuming a Net Single Premium factor of $3.0230 of the Accumulated Value).
 
                 
        If you select the Guideline
   
        Premium Test, the Death
   
        Benefit is the larger of these two amounts    
Death

Option B
  Total Face Amount plus Accumulated Value   $125,000   $46,250   $99,743.06
Option C
  Total Face Amount plus premiums less distributions   $130,000   $46,250   $104,732.78
 
 
 
                 
        If you select the Cash Value
   
        Accumulation Test, the Death
   
        Benefit is the larger of these two amounts

Option C
  Total Face Amount plus premiums less distributions   $130,000   $75,575   $104,732.78
 
 
 
If the Death Benefit equals the Minimum Death Benefit, any increase in Accumulated Value will cause an automatic increase in the Death Benefit.


22



 

Here’s the same example, but with an Accumulated Value of $75,000. Because Accumulated Value has increased, the Minimum Death Benefit is now:
 
•  $138,750 for the Guideline Premium Test
 
•  $226,725 for the Cash Value Accumulation Test.
 
                 
        If you select the Guideline
   
        Premium Test, the Death
   
        Benefit is the larger of these two amounts

When We Pay the Death Benefit
 
We calculate the amount of the Death Benefit Proceeds as of the end of the day the Insured dies. If the Insured dies on a day that is not a Business Day, we calculate the Death Benefit Proceeds as of the next Business Day.
 
Your Policy’s Beneficiary must send us proof that the Insured died while the Policy was In Force, along with payment instructions. Your Beneficiary can choose to receive the Death Benefit Proceeds in a lump sum or use it to buy an income benefit. Please see the discussion about income benefits in General Information About Your Policy.
 
Death Benefit Proceeds equal the total of the Death Benefits provided by your Policy and any Riders you have added, minus any Policy Debt, minus any overdue Policy charges.
 
We will pay interest on the Proceeds from the date of death at a rate not less than the rate payable for funds left on deposit (please see the Income Benefits section). If payment of Proceeds is delayed more than 31 calendar days after we receive the above requirements needed to pay the claim, we will pay additional interest at a rate of 10% annually beginning with the 31st calendar day referenced above.
 
It is important that we have a current address for your Beneficiary so that we can pay Death Benefit Proceeds promptly. If we cannot pay the Death Benefit Proceeds to your Beneficiary within five years of the death of the Insured, we will be required to pay them to the state.
 
Changing Your Death Benefit Option
 
You can change your Death Benefit Option while your Policy is In Force. Here’s how it works:
 
•  You can change the Death Benefit Option once in any Policy Year.
 
•  You must send us your Written Request.
 
•  You can change from any Death Benefit Option to Option A or Option B.
 
•  You cannot change from any Death Benefit Option to Option C.
 
•  The change will become effective on the first Monthly Payment Date after we receive your request. If we receive your request on a Monthly Payment Date, we will process it that day.
 
•  The total Face Amount of your Policy will change by the amount needed to make the Death Benefit under the new Death Benefit Option equal the Death Benefit under the old Death Benefit Option just before the change. We will not let you change the Death Benefit Option if doing so means the Face Amount of your Policy will become less than $1,000.
 
•  Changing the Death Benefit Option can also affect the monthly cost of insurance charge since this charge varies with the Net Amount At Risk.


23



 

•  The new Death Benefit Option will be used in all future calculations.
 
We will not change your Death Benefit Option if it means your Policy will be treated as a Modified Endowment Contract, unless you have told us in writing that this would be acceptable to you. Modified Endowment Contracts are discussed in Variable Life Insurance and Your Taxes.
 
Changing the Face Amount
 
You can increase or decrease your Policy’s Face Amount as long as we approve it. If you change the Face Amount, we will send you a supplemental schedule of benefits and premiums. Here’s how it works:
 
•  You can change the Face Amount as long as the Insured is alive.
 
•  You must send us your Written Request while your Policy is In Force.
 
•  Unless you request otherwise, the change will become effective on the first Monthly Payment Date on or after we receive and approve your request.
 
•  The Insured will also need to agree to the change in Face Amount, if you are not the Insured.
 
•  Increasing the Face Amount may increase the Death Benefit, and decreasing the Face Amount may decrease the Death Benefit. The amount the Death Benefit changes will depend, among other things, on the Death Benefit Option you have chosen and whether, and by how much, the Death Benefit is greater than the Face Amount before you make the change.
 
•  Changing the Face Amount can affect the Net Amount At Risk, which affects the cost of insurance charge. An increase in the Face Amount may increase the cost of insurance charge, while a decrease may decrease the charge.
 
•  If your Policy’s Death Benefit is equal to the Minimum Death Benefit, and the Net Amount At Risk is more than three times the Death Benefit on the Policy Date, we may reduce the Death Benefit by requiring you to make a withdrawal from your Policy. If we require you to make a withdrawal, the withdrawal may be taxable. We will not charge you a withdrawal fee for these withdrawals. Please turn to Withdrawals, Surrenders and Loans for information about making withdrawals.
 
•  We can refuse your request to make the Face Amount less than $1,000.00. We can waive this minimum amount in certain situations, such as group or sponsored arrangements.
 
Increasing the Face Amount
Here are some additional things you should know about increasing the Face Amount under the Policy:
 
•  The Insured must be Age 90 or younger at the time of the increase.
 
•  You must give us satisfactory evidence of insurability.
 
•  Each increase you make to the Face Amount must be $25,000 or more.
 
•  We may charge you a fee of up to $100 for each increase. We deduct the fee on the day the increase is effective from all of your Investment Options in proportion to the Accumulated Value you have in each Investment Option.
 
•  Each increase in Face Amount will have an associated cost of insurance rate, coverage charge and surrender charge.
 
•  We reserve the right to limit Face Amount increases to one per Policy Year.
 
Decreasing the Face Amount
Decreasing the total Face Amount may affect your Policy’s tax status. To ensure your Policy continues to qualify as life insurance, we might be required to return:
 
•  part of your premium payments to you if you have chosen the Guideline Premium Test, or
 
•  make distributions from the Accumulated Value, which may be taxable. For more information, please see Variable Life Insurance and Your Taxes.
 
Here are some additional things you should know about decreasing the total Face Amount under the Policy:
 
•  The initial Face Amount and any additional Coverage Layer are eligible for decrease on or after the first anniversary of its effective date.
 
•  We will apply any decrease in the Face Amount to eligible Coverage Layers in the following order:
 
  •  to the most recent eligible increases you made to the Face Amount
 
  •  to the initial Face Amount.
 
•  We do not charge you for a decrease in Face Amount.
 
•  We can refuse your request to decrease the total Face Amount if making the change means:
 
  •  your Policy will no longer qualify as life insurance


24



 

 
  •  the distributions we will be required to make from your Policy’s Accumulated Value will be greater than your Policy’s Net Cash Surrender Value
 
  •  your Policy will become a Modified Endowment Contract and you have not told us in writing that this is acceptable to you.
 
Optional Riders and Benefits
 
There are optional Riders that provide extra benefits, some at additional cost. Not all Riders are available in every state, and some Riders may only be added when you apply for your Policy. Ask your insurance professional for more information about the Riders available with the Policy, or about other kinds of life insurance policies offered.
 
Investment Allocation Requirements
At initial purchase and during the entire time that you own an optional benefit Rider, you must allocate your entire Accumulated Value to the Investment Options we make available for these Riders. You must allocate 100% of your Accumulated Value among the allowable Investment Options.
 
     
Allowable Investment Options    
 
American Funds Asset Allocation
BlackRock Global Allocation V.I. Fund
GE Investments Total Return Fund
Pacific Dynamix-Conservative Growth
Pacific Dynamix-Moderate Growth
Pacific Dynamix-Growth
Portfolio Optimization Conservative
  Portfolio Optimization Moderate-Conservative
Portfolio Optimization Moderate
Portfolio Optimization Growth
PIMCO Global Multi-Asset Portfolio
Fixed Account
Fixed LT Account
 
By adding an optional benefit Rider to your Policy, you agree to the above referenced investment allocation requirements for the entire period that you own a Rider. These requirements may limit the number of Investment Options that are otherwise available to you under your Policy. We reserve the right to add, remove or change allowable Investment Options at any time. We may make such a change due to a fund reorganization, fund substitution, or when we believe a change is necessary to protect our ability to provide the guarantees under these Riders. If such a change is required, we will provide you with reasonable notice (generally 90 calendar days unless we are required to give less notice) prior to the effective date of such change to allow you to reallocate your Accumulated Value to maintain your Rider benefits. If you do not reallocate your Accumulated Value your Rider will terminate.
 
Some broker/dealers may limit their clients from purchasing some optional benefits based on the client’s age or other factors. You should work with your insurance professional to decide whether an optional benefit is appropriate for you.
 
Certain restrictions may apply and are described in the Rider or benefit. We will add any Rider charges to the monthly charge we deduct from your Policy’s Accumulated Value.
 
•  Accelerated Living Benefits Rider
Gives the Policy Owner access to a portion of the Policy’s Death Benefit if the Insured has been diagnosed with a terminal illness resulting in a life expectancy of six months or less (or longer than six months in some states).
 
There may be tax consequences if you exercise your rights under the Accelerated Living Benefits Rider. Please see Variable Life Insurance and Your Taxes for more information.
 
•  Accidental Death Rider
Provides additional insurance coverage in the event of the accidental death of the Insured.
 
•  Annual Renewable Term Rider
Provides annual renewal term insurance on the Insured.
 
•  Annual Renewable Term Rider – Additional Insured
Provides annual renewal term insurance on members of the Insured’s immediate family.
 
•  Children’s Term Rider
Provides term insurance for the children of the Insured.
 
•  Disability Benefit Rider
Provides a monthly addition to the Policy’s Accumulated Value when the Insured has a qualifying disability, until he or she reaches age 65.
 
•  Guaranteed Insurability Rider
Gives the right to buy additional insurance on the life of the Insured on certain specified dates without proof of insurability.


25



 

•  Waiver of Charges Rider
Waives certain charges if the Insured becomes totally disabled before age 60.
 
More detailed information about the Accidental Death Rider, Annual Renewable Term Rider, Annual Renewable Term Rider – Additional Insured, Children’s Term Rider, Disability Benefit Rider, Guaranteed Insurability Rider, and Waiver of Charges Rider appears in the SAI. To obtain a copy of the SAI, visit our website at www.PacificLife.com. Samples of the provisions for the extra optional benefits are available from us upon Written Request.
 
•  Minimum Earnings Benefit Rider
Allows allocation to the Variable Investment Options while providing minimum earnings protection at Rider maturity. The Rider may be purchased at Policy issue for an Insured who is Age 60 or younger. The monthly charge for this Rider will be shown in your Policy Specifications.
 
To be eligible for this Rider, any amounts allocated to the Variable Investment Options must be allocated according to the Investment Allocation Requirements. This means you may not allocate among the Variable Investment Options at your discretion. You may also allocate Accumulated Value to the Fixed Account and/or Fixed LT Account.
 
This Rider provides that your Policy’s Accumulated Value will be equal to the greater of the Policy’s Accumulated Value immediately prior to Rider maturity or the Alternate Accumulated Value.
 
You elect a Rider Maturity Date when you apply for this Rider. Once selected, the Rider Maturity Date may not be changed. The Rider Maturity Date may be set from 10 to 15 years from the date of issue. The length of time before the Rider matures affects the Alternate Accumulated Value Monthly Factor and the Alternate Premium Load, both used in the calculation of the Alternate Accumulated Value and shown in your Policy Specifications. The Alternate Accumulated Value Monthly Factor will never be less than 1.00295. The Alternate Premium Load will never be greater than 25%.
 
The Alternate Accumulated Value is a calculated value reflecting a minimum level of earnings for the Policy. The Alternate Accumulated Value is initially zero and is calculated on each Monthly Payment Date, including the Policy Date. The Alternate Accumulated Value calculated on any Monthly Payment Date is equal to:
 
  •  the Alternate Accumulated Value immediately prior to the calculation,
 
  •  increased by any premiums paid since the prior Monthly Payment Date, less the Alternate Premium Load,
 
  •  reduced by the Policy’s actual monthly deduction on the Monthly Payment Date and any other Policy charges since the prior Monthly Payment Date, and
 
  •  reduced by any withdrawals that have been taken since the prior Monthly Payment Date,
 
  •  with the result multiplied by the Alternate Accumulated Value Monthly Factor.
 
If your Policy’s Alternate Accumulated Value is greater than your Policy’s Accumulated Value and you take a loan or withdrawal, we reserve the right to reduce the Alternate Accumulated Value so that the Alternate Accumulated Value is reduced in the same proportion as the Policy’s Accumulated Value as a result of such loan or withdrawal.
 
An example
 
For a Policy with:
 
  •  An Accumulated Value of $100,000
 
  •  An Alternate Accumulated Value of $120,000
 
If you request a withdrawal of $10,000, the Accumulated Value following the withdrawal will be $90,000 ($100,000 − $10,000), which is a reduction of 10%. We will then reduce the Alternate Accumulated Value to $108,000 ($120,000 − 10% × $120,000 = $120,000 − $12,000 = $108,000).
 
While this Rider is in effect, the Policy will not enter the grace period as long as either the Policy’s Accumulated Value or the Alternate Accumulated Value, each less any Policy Debt, is sufficient to cover the monthly deduction due on a Monthly Payment Date.
 
There is a minimum premium requirement to keep this Rider in effect. The Minimum Premium Requirement to keep this Rider in effect, and the Minimum Premium Date by which premiums paid must equal or exceed the Minimum Premium Requirement, will be shown on your Policy Specifications. The Minimum Premium Requirement will never exceed 450% of your Policy’s guideline level premiums at Policy issue, and must be paid by the end of the ninth Policy Year. If you do not pay enough premium by the Minimum Premium Date to satisfy the Minimum Premium Requirement, we will send you a rider grace period notice stating the amount of additional premium you must pay to keep the Rider in effect and the date, not less than 31 days (61 days if you signed your application in Nebraska or North Carolina) after our mailing of the notice, by which we must receive such additional


26



 

premium. If we have not received the additional premium by that date, this Rider will terminate and no further benefits will be provided by the Rider.
 
On the Rider Maturity Date, we will set the Policy’s Accumulated Value to be equal to the Alternate Accumulated Value, if the latter is larger, and the Rider will terminate unless you elect to renew it. Before the Rider Maturity Date, the Alternate Accumulated Value has no effect on the Policy’s Accumulated Value and provides no minimum earnings. This Rider provides no guarantee of any particular interest rate or dollar amount. The Alternate Accumulated Value may be less than the Policy’s Accumulated Value and may be less than the total premium paid.
 
You may elect to renew the Rider at Rider maturity. If you renew the Rider, you will elect a new Rider Maturity Date based on the options available at the time you renew, and we will send you a supplemental schedule of coverage which will show the specifications for the renewed Rider. The Rider specifications, including the Rider charge and alternate premium load, may differ after renewal of the Rider. To renew this Rider, we must receive your Written Request to renew at least 30 days prior to the Rider Maturity Date.
 
If you renew this Rider, the initial Alternate Accumulated Value will be equal to the Policy’s Accumulated Value after any increase on the prior Rider Maturity Date, multiplied by the result of 1 minus the alternate premium load shown on the supplemental schedule of coverage for the renewed Rider. All provisions of the Rider will continue after renewal, but based on the supplemental schedule of coverage for the renewed Rider.
 
This Rider is effective on the Policy Date unless otherwise stated. It will end upon the earliest of your Written Request, termination of the Policy, if any portion of the Accumulated Value is allocated to an Investment Option other than a Fixed Option or according to the Investment Allocation Requirements for use under this Rider, at the end of the Rider grace period if you have not paid sufficient premium to keep the Rider in effect, or the Rider Maturity Date if you do not elect to renew this Rider. If your Policy lapses and you reinstate the Policy, we will not reinstate the Rider, except if you signed your application in North Carolina.
 
•  Overloan Protection II Rider
 
The Rider After Policy Issue
 
The Rider cannot be exercised during the first 15 Policy Years or before the Insured is Age 75, but there is a minimum premium requirement during the first five Policy Years to keep the Rider in effect prior to exercise. There is no charge for this Rider unless you exercise it. Please see Rider Termination below for termination conditions of the Rider before and after exercise. You may not pay premiums or take withdrawals from your Policy after exercise of the Rider. The Rider may not be exercised after the Policy has entered the grace period.
 
Premium payments, less Policy loans and withdrawals, must equal or exceed the minimum five-year premium. The minimum five-year premium equals 350% of the lesser of your Policy’s guideline level premium or seven-pay premium at issue and is shown in your Policy Specifications. The minimum five-year premium for your Policy will not change. If enough cumulative premium has not been paid during the first five Policy Years to satisfy this requirement, we will send you a notice stating the amount of additional premium that must be paid to keep the Rider in effect. You will have at least 60 days after the mailing of the notice to pay additional premium to keep this Rider in effect. If we have not received the additional premium by that date, this Rider will terminate.
 
The Rider At Exercise
 
The exercise effective date will be the Monthly Payment Date on or next following the date we receive your Written Request to exercise this Rider and all exercise requirements are met. To exercise the Rider, each of the following conditions must be true as of the exercise effective date:
 
  •  The minimum five-year premium requirement was met.
 
  •  The Death Benefit Option is Option A.
 
  •  The Policy must have been In Force for at least 15 years.
 
  •  The Insured’s Age is within the range of Ages shown in the Overloan Protection Rider section of the Policy Specifications. The Rider may not be exercised if the Insured is younger than Age 75 or older than Age 120.
 
  •  There must be sufficient Accumulated Value to cover the rider exercise charge as described below.
 
  •  The Policy Debt is greater than the Face Amount, but less than 99.9% of the Accumulated Value after the charge for this Rider has been deducted from the Accumulated Value.
 
  •  There are no projected forced distributions of Accumulated Value for any Policy Year.
 
  •  The Guideline Premium Limit for the Policy will remain greater than zero at all times prior to Insured’s Age 100.
 
  •  The Policy must not be a Modified Endowment Contract, and exercising this Rider must not cause the Policy to become a Modified Endowment Contract.


27



 

  •  There are no Riders requiring charges after the exercise effective date, other than this Rider and any term insurance Rider on the Insured, and there must not be any change in term insurance Rider Face Amount scheduled to take effect after the exercise effective date. You must terminate any Riders requiring charges and any scheduled changes in term insurance prior to exercise of this Rider.
 
  •  The policy must not be in the grace period.
 
Contact us if you have any questions about your eligibility to exercise this Rider.
 
On the exercise effective date, we:
 
  1.  Transfer any Accumulated Value in the Investment Options into the Fixed LT Account. No transfer charge will be assessed for such transfer, nor will it count against, or be subject to, any transfer limitations that may be in effect.
 
  2.  Deduct the charge for this Rider from your Policy’s Accumulated Value.
 
There is a one-time charge to exercise this Rider. The charge will not exceed the Accumulated Value multiplied by the overloan protection rate shown for the Insured’s Age at exercise in the Policy Specifications, as of the exercise effective date. The charge ranges from 1.12% to 4.52% of the Policy’s Accumulated Value, and is based on the Insured’s gender, Risk Class and Age at the time the Rider is exercised. There is no charge if the Rider is never exercised. After exercise of the Rider, and while it continues in effect, the Policy’s lowest Death Benefit will be the Death Benefit percentage multiplied by the greater of the Accumulated Value or the Policy Debt.
 
An example
 
For a male, non-smoker Insured, Age 85 when the Rider is exercised, the charge will be 2.97% of the Policy’s Accumulated Value on the exercise effective date. If the Policy’s Accumulated Value is $25,000, the charge deducted from the Accumulated Value on the exercise effective date is $742.50. ($25,000 × 2.97% = $742.50).
 
The Rider After Exercise
 
After the exercise effective date and as long as the Rider stays in effect, the Policy will not lapse if the Accumulated Value is insufficient to cover Policy charges, even if the insufficiency is caused by Policy Debt exceeding Accumulated Value.
 
After the exercise of the Rider, the Minimum Death Benefit of the Policy will be the Death Benefit percentage multiplied by the greater of the Accumulated Value or the Policy Debt. Calculation of the Death Benefit, Minimum Death Benefit and Death Benefit Proceeds is described in The Death Benefit.
 
Rider Termination
 
This Rider will terminate on the earliest of the following events:
 
  •  You do not pay enough premium to meet the minimum five-year premium requirement;
 
  •  The Policy terminates;
 
  •  You make a Written Request to terminate this Rider; or
 
  •  If, after the exercise effective date:
 
  •  any premium is paid
 
  •  any withdrawal is taken
 
  •  any loan repayment is made, other than for loan interest due
 
  •  any Policy benefit is changed or added at your request
 
  •  any transfer among the Investment Options is done at your request.
 
If the Rider terminates after the exercise effective date and while the Policy is In Force, any amount by which the Policy Debt exceeds the Accumulated Value is due and payable to us.
 
•  Short-term No-lapse Guarantee
May keep your Policy and any Riders attached to it In Force, if it would otherwise lapse. The Rider is available at Policy issue for Insureds Age 79 and younger if you choose either Death Benefit Option A or Option B when applying for your Policy. The guaranteed monthly cost of insurance charges will be shown in your Policy Specifications.
 
The Short-Term No-Lapse Guarantee Rider is issued with a guarantee period based on the Age of the Insured. The guarantee period will be at least five years, and never more than 20 years. The guarantee period of your Short-Term No-Lapse Guarantee Rider is listed on your Policy Specifications.


28



 

 
The No Lapse Premium is an amount used during the guarantee period to determine the No Lapse Credit. The no lapse premium is shown on your Policy Specifications as the Annual No Lapse Premium. The Rider is designed to remain in effect through the guarantee period if you pay at least one twelfth of this amount at the beginning of each Policy month, take no loans or withdrawals, and make no changes, scheduled or unscheduled, to your Policy coverage. However, the Rider may remain in effect even if premium payments are made in different patterns, if you take Policy loans or withdrawals, or there are changes in coverage amounts. Any change in Face Amount or coverage may cause a change in the No Lapse Premium, in which case we will inform you of the new No Lapse Premium.
 
The No Lapse Credit is a value used to determine if the Rider is in effect. It is calculated at the beginning of each Policy month during the guarantee period. The No Lapse Credit as of the Policy Date is equal to the premium paid less one-twelfth of the initial No Lapse Premium. On any other Monthly Payment Date, the No Lapse Credit is equal to:
 
  •  the No Lapse Credit as of the prior Monthly Payment Date multiplied by (1 + i) where i equals 0.327374% if the No Lapse Credit is negative, otherwise it equals the rate shown in the Policy Specifications;
 
  •  plus the premiums received since the prior Monthly Payment Date;
 
  •  less withdrawals taken since the prior Monthly Payment Date; and
 
  •  less one-twelfth of the then current No Lapse Premium.
 
For example, for a Policy with a No Lapse Premium of $838.61, a No Lapse Credit of $1,000.00 on the prior Monthly Payment Date and a monthly interest rate of 0.0% for accumulation of the No Lapse Credit if the No Lapse Credit is positive, where a withdrawal of $500.00 has been taken since the prior Monthly Payment Date and a premium payment of $100.00 was made on the current Monthly Payment Date, the No Lapse Credit on the current Monthly Payment Date will be $530.12.
 
If the No Lapse Credit less Policy Debt is equal to or greater than zero, the Rider is in effect. If the Rider has become ineffective because the No Lapse Credit is less than the Policy Debt, you may reinstate the benefit by paying sufficient premium or by repaying a sufficient portion of the loan balance. The premium payment or loan repayment necessary to reinstate the benefit is equal to the amount that would make the No Lapse Credit equal to the Policy Debt.
 
If your Policy does not have enough Accumulated Value, after subtracting any Policy Debt, to cover your monthly deduction on the Monthly Payment Date, and the Rider is in effect, your Policy will not enter the grace period, and will not lapse. Your Policy and all other Riders attached to your Policy will continue in effect under their terms during the guarantee period as long as the conditions for the Rider to be in effect are met.
 
When your Policy continues under the Rider, monthly deductions for your Policy will be accumulated as the Monthly Deductions Deficit. No interest is charged on this amount. Additional Net Premium, or loan repayment amounts, will first be used to reduce the amount of your Monthly Deductions Deficit. Once the amount of the Monthly Deductions Deficit has been repaid, any additional new Net Premium or loan repayment amounts will be allocated to the Investment Options according to your most recent instructions.
 
If the Policy is continued under the Rider, the Policy has no net Accumulated Value from which to deduct Monthly Deductions. Such uncollected amounts are accumulated without interest and are collectively called the Monthly Deductions Deficit.
 
If your Policy is continued under the Rider at the time the guarantee period ends, you will need to pay sufficient additional premium or make a loan repayment to bring the Monthly Deductions Deficit to zero and cover any future monthly deductions from your Policy, or your Policy will lapse.
 
•  Surrender Value Enhancement Rider – Individual Rider
Effective May 1, 2009, the Surrender Value Enhancement Rider – Individual Rider is no longer available for purchase. If your Policy was issued on or before April 30, 2009, and you purchased the Surrender Value Enhancement Rider – Individual Rider, your Rider will remain in effect.
 
Provides additional death benefit protection on the Insured in combination with the Face Amount of the Policy. You may purchase the Rider at Policy issue. The Rider modifies the Death Benefit of the Policy to include the Face Amount of the Rider, so that the Death Benefit equals the greater of the Death Benefit as calculated under 1) the Death Benefit Option you choose on the Policy plus the Face Amount of the Rider, or 2) the Minimum Death Benefit under the Death Benefit Qualification Test you have chosen.
 
•  SVER Term Insurance Rider
Provides term insurance on the Insured in combination with the Face Amount of the Policy. You may purchase the Rider at Policy issue. The Rider modifies the Death Benefit of the Policy to include the Face Amount of the Rider, so that the Death Benefit equals the greater of the Death Benefit as calculated under 1) the Death Benefit Option you choose on the Policy plus the Face Amount of the Rider, or 2) the Minimum Death Benefit under the Death Benefit Qualification Test you have chosen.


29



 

The guaranteed monthly cost of insurance rate and monthly coverage charge will be shown in your Policy Specifications. Our current cost of insurance rates for the Rider are lower than the guaranteed rates.
 
You may request increases or decreases in Face Amount of the Rider. Each increase will be subject to satisfactory evidence of insurability and will have associated cost of insurance and coverage charges. Unless you request otherwise, the increase will become effective on the first Monthly Payment Date on or following the date we receive and approve your request. We may limit increases of Rider Face Amount to one per Policy year. We may deduct an administrative charge not to exceed $100 from your Policy’s Accumulated Value on the effective date of any unscheduled increase. Decreases will be effective on the first Monthly Payment Date on or following the date the Written Request is received at our Life Insurance Operations Center. A Face Amount decrease of this Rider will not decrease the Coverage Charge. Decreases will first be applied against the most recent increase, if any, and then against successively earlier increases, if any, and finally against the original SVER Term Insurance Rider Face Amount.
 
The Rider will terminate on the earliest of your Written Request, or on lapse or termination of this Policy.
 
•  Surrender Value Enhancement Rider – Trust/Executive Benefit
Effective May 1, 2009, the Surrender Value Enhancement Rider – Trust/Executive Benefit is no longer available for purchase. If your Policy was issued on or before April 30, 2009, and you purchased the Surrender Value Enhancement Rider – Trust/Executive Benefit, your Rider will remain in effect.
 
Provides additional death benefit protection on the Insured in combination with the Face Amount of the Policy. May also provide higher early cash value. The Rider may be purchased at Policy issue, subject to state availability. Policies must be owned by a corporation, trust or individual (when part of an employer-sponsored arrangement) which meet the annual aggregate premium requirement of $50,000 annually.
 
•  SVER Term Insurance Rider – Trust/Executive Benefit
Provides term insurance on the Insured in combination with the Face Amount of the Policy. May also provide higher early cash value. The Rider may be purchased at Policy issue, subject to state availability. Policies must be owned by a corporation, trust or individual (when part of an employer-sponsored arrangement) which meet the annual aggregate premium requirement of $50,000 annually.
 
The charges for this Rider will be shown in the Policy Specifications. The total monthly charge is comprised of three components:
 
  •  the rider coverage charge
 
  •  the rider cost of insurance charge; and
 
  •  the termination credit charge. You will be responsible for the termination credit charge even if the termination credit is reduced to zero.
 
While this Rider is in effect:
 
  1.  The Rider modifies the Death Benefit of the Policy to include the Face Amount of the Rider, so that the Death Benefit as calculated under the Death Benefit Option you choose on the Policy is increased by the Face Amount of the Rider. For purposes of determining the minimum Death Benefit of the Policy, the amount of the termination credit will be added to the Policy’s Accumulated Value before the minimum Death Benefit Under the Death Benefit Qualification Test is calculated.
 
  2.  If you surrender the Policy, we will pay you a termination credit in addition to the Net Cash Surrender Value, unless either of the following is true:
 
  •  the Policy is surrendered in connection with the purchase of a replacement life insurance policy including, but not limited to, a replacement intended to qualify as a tax free exchange under Section 1035 of the Tax Code; or
 
  •  the Owner at the time of Policy surrender is different from the Owner on the Policy application, and the Owner at the time of Policy surrender is a life insurance company.
 
The purpose of the termination credit is to minimize the impact on earnings for corporations or other entities purchasing the Policy.
 
You may request increases or decreases in Face Amount of the Rider. Each increase will be subject to satisfactory evidence of insurability and will have associated Rider coverage charges and Rider cost of insurance charges. Unless you request otherwise, the increase will become effective on the first Monthly Payment Date on or following the date we receive and approve your request. Each increase in Rider Face Amount has its own Rider coverage charge and Rider cost of insurance charge, which will be shown on a supplemental schedule of coverage sent to you at the time of the increase. We may deduct an administrative charge not to exceed $100 from your Policy’s Accumulated Value on the effective date of an increase.
 
Decreases will be effective on the first Monthly Payment Date on or following the date the Written Request is received at our Life Insurance Operations Center. A Face Amount decrease of this Rider will not decrease the Coverage Charge. Decreases will first be


30



 

applied against the most recent increase, if any, and then against successively earlier increases, if any, and finally against the original SVER Term Insurance Rider – Trust/Executive Benefit Face Amount.
 
There are two components to the termination credit:
 
  1.  an amount added to the Policy’s surrender value to the premiums paid (subject to a maximum disclosed in the Policy Specifications for this Rider), less withdrawals, multiplied by a percentage that varies by policy duration; and
 
  2.  a refund of the rider charge if the premiums paid under the Policy are less than the maximum premium upon which the first component is determined.
 
The termination credit added to your Net Cash Surrender Value if you surrender your Policy is calculated in two parts, and is the sum of the results of the two calculations, except if Termination Credit Part 1 equals zero, then Termination Credit Part 2 will also be zero.
 
Termination Credit Part 1 equals A × B where:
 
         
A
  =   the termination credit percentage; and
B
  =   the termination credit basis.
 
Termination Credit Part 2 equals the greater of zero and C × D × (E − (F/G)), where:
 
         
C
  =   the termination credit factor;
D
  =   the lesser of 60 and the number of whole Policy months that have elapsed;
E
  =   the maximum annual termination credit basis;
F
  =   the sum of premiums paid; and
G
  =   1 + the number of whole Policy Years elapsed.
 
The initial termination credit percentage, and the termination credit factor and maximum annual termination credit basis are shown in your Policy Specifications for this Rider. We may reduce the schedule of termination credit percentages, and even reduce such percentages to zero, but not until at least 30 days after we have sent you revised Policy Specifications that show the reduced termination credit percentages. Any such reduced schedule of termination credit percentages will apply uniformly to all members of the same Class.
 
The termination credit basis is the lesser of (a − c) or (b − c), where:
 
         
a
  =   the total amount of premiums paid on the Policy;
b
  =   the maximum annual termination credit basis, multiplied by 1 + the number of whole Policy Years elapsed; and
c
  =   the total amount of any withdrawals you have taken from your Policy’s Accumulated Value.
 
If the Insured dies while the Rider is in effect, the Termination Credit will be added to the Accumulated Value prior to calculating the Death Benefit under the Death Benefit Qualification Test.
 
An example
 
The Policy is at the end of the fifth Policy Year and
             
  (A)   =   5%
  (B)   =   $50,000
  (C)   =   0.25%
  (D)   =   60
  (E)   =   $10,000
  (F)   =   $50,000
  (G)   =   5
 
Termination Credit Part 1 = 5% × 50,000 = $2500
 
Termination Credit Part 2 = 0.25% × 60 months × (10,000 − (50,000/5)) = $0
 
The total of Termination Credit Part 1, or $2,500, and Termination Credit Part 2, or $0, will result in the addition of $2,500 to the Policy’s Net Cash Surrender Value.
 
This Rider will terminate on the earliest of your Written Request or termination of the Policy.
 
Things to keep in mind
We offer other variable life insurance policies which provide insurance protection on the life of one person or the lives of two people. The loads and charges on these policies may be different. Combining a Policy and a Rider, however, may be more economical than adding another Policy. It may also be more economical to provide an amount of insurance coverage through a


31



 

Policy alone. Many life insurance policies have some flexibility in structuring the Face Amount, the Death Benefit, and premium payments in targeting the cash values based on your particular needs.
 
In general, your Policy coverage offers the advantage of lower overall guaranteed charges than the added Riders. If you add a Rider or Riders to your Policy, and if we apply maximum guaranteed charges, you may increase your risk of lapse even if all planned premiums are paid. Adding a Rider or Riders may also affect the amount of premium you can pay on your Policy and still have it qualify as life insurance.
 
Combining a Policy with an Annual Renewable Term Rider may lower costs and may improve Accumulated Value accrual for the same amount of Death Benefit. However, your Policy has guaranteed maximum charges. Adding an Annual Renewable Term Rider will result in guaranteed maximum charges that are higher than for a single Policy with the same Face Amount.
 
Combining a Policy with either the SVER Term Insurance Rider or the SVER Term Insurance Rider-Trust/Executive Benefit may improve Accumulated Value accrual in the early years of your Policy, but could result in either higher or lower charges than under a single Policy. The timing of certain charges for Policies held for certain periods may also be affected.
 
Ultimately, individual needs and objectives vary, and they may change through time. It is important that you consider your goals and options carefully. You should discuss your insurance needs and financial objectives with your insurance professional before purchasing any life insurance product or purchasing additional insurance benefits. You should also consider a periodic review of your coverage with your insurance professional.


32



 

 
HOW PREMIUMS WORK
 
Your Policy gives you the flexibility to choose the amount and frequency of your premium payments within certain limits. Each premium payment must be at least $50.
 
The amount, frequency, and period of time over which you make premium payments may affect whether your Policy will be classified as a Modified Endowment Contract, or no longer qualifies as life insurance for tax purposes. See Variable Life Insurance and Your Taxes for more information.
 
We deduct a premium load from each premium payment, and then allocate your Net Premium to the Investment Options you have chosen. Depending on the performance of your Investment Options, and on how many withdrawals, loans or other Policy features you have taken advantage of, you may need to make additional premium payments to cover monthly deductions for Policy charges to keep your Policy In Force. We reserve the right to accept premium payments in amounts less than $50.
 
Your Initial Premium
 
We apply your first premium payment to the Policy on the later of the day we receive it or the day we receive all contractual and administrative requirements necessary for your Policy to be In Force. See How Premiums Work: Allocating Your Premiums for more information on when your first Net Premium is allocated to the Investment Options.
 
If you have outstanding contractual and administrative requirements, your insurance professional will notify you of a delivery date when any outstanding requirements are due to us, not to exceed 45 days from the date we issue your Policy. If we do not receive your first premium payment and all contractual and administrative requirements on or before the delivery date, we can cancel the Policy and refund any premium payment you have made. We may extend the delivery date in some cases.
 
Planned Periodic Premium Payments
 
You can schedule the amount and frequency of your premium payments. We refer to scheduled premium payments as your planned periodic premium. Here’s how it works:
 
•  On your application, you chose a fixed amount of at least $50 for each premium payment.
 
•  You indicate whether you want to make premium payments annually, semi-annually, or quarterly. You can also choose monthly payments using our monthly Electronic Funds Transfer Plan, which is described below.
 
•  We send you a notice to remind you of your scheduled premium payment (except for monthly Electronic Funds Transfer Plan payments, which are paid automatically). If you own more than one Policy, you can request us to send one notice – called a listbill – that reminds you of your payments for all of your Policies. You can choose to receive the listbill every month.
 
•  If you have any Policy Debt, we will treat any payment you make during the life of your Policy as a loan repayment, not as a premium payment, unless you tell us otherwise in writing. When a payment, or any portion of it, exceeds your Policy Debt, we will treat it as a premium payment.
 
You do not have to make the premium payments you have scheduled. However, not making a premium payment may have an impact on any financial objectives you may have set for your Policy’s Accumulated Value and Death Benefit, and could cause your Policy to lapse. Even if you pay all your premiums when they’re scheduled, your Policy could lapse if the Accumulated Value, less any Policy Debt, is not enough to pay your monthly charges. Turn to Your Policy’s Accumulated Value for more information.
 
Paying Your Premium
 
Premium payments must be made in a form acceptable to us before we can process it. You may pay your premium:
 
•  by personal check, drawn on a U.S. bank
 
•  by cashier’s check, if it originates in a U.S. bank
 
•  by money order in a single denomination of more than $10,000, if it originates in a U.S. bank
 
•  by third party payments, when there is a clear relationship between the payor (individual, corporation, trust, etc.) and the Insured and/or Owner
 
•  by temporary check with the ABA routing number and account number pre-printed on the check
 
•  wire transfers that originate in U.S. banks.
 
We will not accept premium payments in the following forms:
 
•  cash


33



 

•  credit card or check drawn against a credit card account
 
•  traveler’s checks
 
•  cashier’s check or money order drawn on a non-U.S. bank, even if the payment may be effected through a U.S. bank
 
•  money order in a single denomination of $10,000 or less
 
•  third party payments, if there is not a clear relationship between the payor (individual, corporation, trust, etc.) and the Insured and/or Owner
 
•  wires that originate from foreign bank accounts.
 
If you want to pay a premium that increases the Net Amount At Risk, you will need to provide us with satisfactory evidence of insurability before we can increase the Death Benefit. In this event, your cost of insurance charges will also increase. Cost of insurance charges are based, among other things, upon your Policy’s Net Amount At Risk. See Your Accumulated Value for more information on how cost of insurance charges are calculated.
 
All unacceptable forms of premium payments will be returned to the payor along with a letter of explanation. We reserve the right to reject or accept any form of payment. If you make premium payments or loan repayments by Electronic Funds Transfer or by check other than a cashier’s check, your payment of any withdrawal proceeds may be delayed until we receive confirmation in our administrative office that your payment has cleared.
 
Monthly Electronic Funds Transfer Plan
Once you have made your first premium payment, you can make monthly premium payments using our Electronic Funds Transfer Plan. Here’s how it works:
 
•  You authorize us to withdraw a specified amount from your checking account, savings account or money market account each month.
 
•  You can choose any day between the 4th and 28th of the month.
 
•  If you do not specify a day for us to make the withdrawal, we will withdraw the premium payment on your Policy’s monthly anniversary. If your Policy’s monthly anniversary falls on the 1st, 2nd or 3rd of the month, we will withdraw the payment on the 4th of each month.
 
•  If you make monthly payments by the Electronic Funds Transfer Plan, we will apply the payments as premium payments unless we receive a new form requesting that payments be applied as a loan repayment.
 
Deductions From Your Premiums
 
We deduct a maximum premium load of 6.95% from each premium payment you make.
 
This charge helps pay for the cost of distributing our Policies, and is also used to pay state and local premium taxes, any other taxes that may be imposed, and to compensate us for certain costs or lost investment opportunities resulting from our amortization and delayed recognition of certain policy acquisition expenses for federal income tax purposes. These consequences are referred to as the deferred acquisition cost (“DAC tax”).
 
Like other Policy charges, we may profit from the premium load and may use these profits for any lawful purpose, such as the payment of distribution and administrative expenses. We will notify you in advance if we change our current load rate.
 
Limits on the Premium Payments You Can Make
 
We will not accept premium payments after your Policy’s Monthly Deduction End Date.
 
Federal tax law puts limits on the amount of premium payments you can make in relation to your Policy’s Death Benefit. These limits apply in the following situations:
 
•  If you have chosen the Guideline Premium Test as your Death Benefit Qualification Test and accepting the premium means your Policy will no longer qualify as life insurance for federal income tax purposes.
 
•  If applying the premium in that Policy Year means your Policy will become a Modified Endowment Contract. You may direct us to accept premium payments or other instructions that will cause your Policy to be treated as a Modified Endowment Contract by signing a Modified Endowment Contract Election Form. You will find a detailed discussion of Modified Endowment Contracts in Variable Life Insurance and Your Taxes. You should speak to a qualified tax adviser for complete information regarding Modified Endowment Contracts.
 
•  If applying the premium payment to your Policy will increase the Net Amount At Risk. This will happen if your Policy’s Death Benefit is equal to the Minimum Death Benefit or would be equal to it once we applied your premium payment.
 
You will find more detailed information regarding these situations in the SAI.

Allocating Your Premiums
 
We generally allocate your Net Premiums to the Investment Options you have chosen on your application on the day we receive them. Please turn to Your Investment Options for more information about the Investment Options.

YOUR POLICY’S ACCUMULATED VALUE
 
Accumulated Value is the value of your Policy on any Business Day. It is used as the basis for determining Policy benefits and charges.
 
We use it to calculate how much money is available to you for loans and withdrawals, and how much you will receive if you surrender your Policy. It also affects the amount of the Death Benefit if you choose a Death Benefit Option that’s calculated using Accumulated Value.
 
The Accumulated Value of your Policy is not guaranteed – it depends on the performance of the Investment Options you have chosen, the premium payments you have made, Policy charges and how much you have borrowed or withdrawn from the Policy.
 
Calculating Your Policy’s Accumulated Value
 
Your Policy’s Accumulated Value is the total amount allocated to the Variable Investment Options and the Fixed Options, plus the amount in the Loan Account. Please see Withdrawals, Surrenders and Loans: Taking Out a Loan for information about loans and the Loan Account.
 
We determine the value allocated to the Variable Investment Options on any Business Day by multiplying the number of accumulation units for each Variable Investment Option credited to your Policy on that day, by the Variable Investment Option’s unit value at the end of that day. The process we use to calculate unit values for the Variable Investment Options is described in Your Investment Options.
 
Persistency Credit
 
Your Policy may be eligible for a persistency credit. Here’s how it works:
 
Beginning on your 6th Policy Anniversary and on each Policy Anniversary thereafter, we may credit your Policy with a persistency credit of 0.20% on an annual basis. We calculate the persistency credit amount on your Policy’s average Accumulated Value less any Policy Debt on each Monthly Payment Date during the preceding Policy Year. We add it proportionately to your Fixed and Variable Options according to your most recent allocation instructions.
 
Beginning on your 16th Policy Anniversary, we may increase your annual persistency credit to 0.35%.
 
Beginning on your 21st Policy Anniversary, we may increase your annual persistency credit to 0.50%.
 
Your Policy’s persistency credit is not guaranteed, and we may discontinue the program at any time.
 
Monthly Deductions
 
We deduct a monthly charge from your Policy’s Accumulated Value. If there is not enough Accumulated Value to pay the monthly charge, your Policy could lapse. The performance of the Investment Options you choose, not making planned premium payments, or taking out a withdrawal or a loan all affect the Accumulated Value of your Policy. You will find a discussion about when your Policy might lapse, and what you can do to reinstate it, later in this section.
 
Unless you tell us otherwise, we deduct the monthly charge from the Investment Options that make up your Policy’s Accumulated Value, in proportion to the Accumulated Value you have in each Investment Option. This charge is made up of five charges:
 
•  cost of insurance
 
•  administrative charge
 
•  coverage charge
 
•  asset charge
 
•  charges for optional Riders.
 
Cost of insurance
This charge is for providing you with life insurance protection. Like other Policy charges, we may profit from the cost of insurance charge and may use these profits for any lawful purpose such as the payment of distribution and administrative expenses.
 
We deduct a cost of insurance charge based on the cost of insurance rate and Net Amount At Risk for each Coverage Layer.


36



 

There are maximum or guaranteed cost of insurance rates associated with your Policy. These rates are shown in your Policy Specifications.
 
The guaranteed rates include the insurance risks associated with insuring one person. They are calculated using 2001 Commissioners Standard Ordinary Mortality Tables. The cost of insurance rates take into consideration the Age and gender of the Insured unless unisex rates are required. Gender blended tables are used for unisex cost of insurance rates. Unisex rates are used in the state of Montana. They are also used when a Policy is owned by an employer in connection with employment-related or benefit programs.
 
Our current cost of insurance rates will apply uniformly to all members of the same Class. Any changes in the cost of insurance rates will apply uniformly to all members of the same Class. These rates generally increase as the Insured’s Age increases, and they vary with the number of years the Policy has been In Force. Our current rates do not and will not exceed the guaranteed rates in the future.
 
How we calculate cost of insurance
 
We calculate cost of insurance by multiplying the current cost of insurance rate by a Net Amount At Risk at the beginning of each Policy month.
 
The Net Amount At Risk used in the cost of insurance calculation is the difference between a discounted Death Benefit that would be payable if the Insured died and the Accumulated Value of your Policy at the beginning of the Policy month before the monthly charge is due.
 
First, we calculate the total Net Amount At Risk for your Policy in two steps:
 
  •  Step 1: we divide the Death Benefit that would be payable at the beginning of the Policy month by 1.0020598.
 
  •  Step 2: we subtract your Policy’s Accumulated Value at the beginning of the Policy month from the amount we calculated in Step 1.
 
Next, we allocate the Net Amount At Risk in proportion to the Face Amount of all Coverage Layers, and each increase that’s In Force as of your Monthly Payment Date.
 
We then multiply the amount of each allocated Net Amount At Risk by the cost of insurance rate for each Coverage Layer. The sum of these amounts is your cost of insurance charge.
 
Premiums, Net Premiums, Policy fees and charges, withdrawals, investment performance and fees and expenses of the underlying portfolios may affect your Net Amount At Risk, depending on the Death Benefit Option you choose or if your Death Benefit under the Policy is the Minimum Death Benefit.
 
 
Choosing a guaranteed period
When the Policy is issued, we will guarantee our current cost of insurance rates for five years for Insureds Age 85 and younger, and two years for Insureds Age 86 and older. If the Insured is Age 65 or younger and in our standard Risk Class when the Policy is issued, you have the option to extend the guaranteed period to ten years. You can only do this when the Policy is issued and you cannot change the guaranteed period later. The same guarantee period applies to the Surrender Value Enhancement Riders. There is no guaranteed period for Annual Renewable Term Rider Coverage.
 
If you increase the Face Amount, the cost of insurance rates associated with the increase will have the same guaranteed period that you chose when the Policy was issued. This will be effective on the day of the increase. However, if the Insured is between Ages 65 and 86, or no longer qualifies for our standard Risk Class on the day of the increase, you will receive the five-year guaranteed period. For Insureds Age 86 and older on the day of the increase, you will receive the two-year guaranteed period.
 
The guaranteed period you choose may affect the Accumulated Value and the initial Face Amount of your Policy, as well as the amount of premium you can pay. The five-year guaranteed period will provide for higher guideline premium and seven-pay premium limits which, if paid, provide the potential to accrue a larger Accumulated Value. The ten-year guarantee period will have lower premium limits, but will provide you with improved guarantees on your cost of insurance rates. You should discuss your insurance needs and financial objectives with your insurance professional to help you determine which guaranteed period works best for you.
 
There is no charge for extending the guaranteed period to ten years.
 
Administrative charge
We deduct a charge not to exceed $7.50 a month to help cover the costs of administering and maintaining our Policies. We guarantee that this charge will not increase. The administrative charge is $0 on and after the Monthly Deduction End Date.
 
Coverage charge
We deduct a Coverage charge every month to help cover the costs of distributing our Policies. Like other Policy charges, we may profit from the Coverage charge and may use these profits for any lawful purpose, such as the payment of administrative costs.
 
Each Coverage Layer on the Insured in the Policy has its own coverage charge. The amount deducted monthly is the sum of the coverage charges calculated for each Policy Coverage Layer in effect.


37



 

The coverage charge for your Policy at issue is calculated at a rate that is based on the Insured’s Age and Risk Class on the Policy Date and the Death Benefit Option you elect times the initial Face Amount of your Policy.
 
Additional Policy Coverage Layers will have a coverage charge calculated based on the same criteria, all as of the effective date of the Policy Coverage Layer. We will specify the charge in a supplemental schedule of benefits at the time the new Policy Coverage Layer goes into effect. We will apply the charge for each Policy Coverage Layer from the day that Policy Coverage Layer goes into effect. If you decrease your Policy’s Face Amount, the coverage charge will remain the same.
 
The coverage charge per $1,000 for each Policy Coverage Layer will remain level for 10 Policy Years from effective date, then is reduced in Policy Year 11 and thereafter. We may charge less than our guaranteed rate. The guaranteed coverage charges for your Policy will be shown in your Policy Specifications.
 
An example
 
For a Policy that insures a male non-smoker who is Age 45 when the Policy is issued, and has a Policy Face Amount of $350,000:
 
The guaranteed monthly coverage charge:
 
•  Under Death Benefit Option A or Option C, is $142.45 during the first 10 Policy Years (($350,000 ¸ 1,000) × 0.407); and $85.40 in Policy Year 11 and thereafter (($350,000 ¸ 1,000) × 0.244)
 
•  Under Death Benefit Option B, is $364.70 during the first 10 Policy Years (($350,000 ¸ 1,000) × 1.042); and $218.75 in Policy Year 11 and thereafter (($350,000 ¸ 1,000) × 0.625)
 
The coverage charge is $0 on and after the Monthly Deduction End Date.
 
Asset Charge
We deduct an asset charge every month at a guaranteed maximum annual rate of 0.45% annually (0.0375% monthly) on the first $25,000 of your Policy’s Accumulated Value in the Investment Options plus an annual rate of 0.05% (0.0042% monthly) of the Accumulated Value in the Investment Options that exceeds $25,000.
 
For purposes of this charge, the amount of Accumulated Value is calculated on the Monthly Payment Date before we deduct the monthly charge, but after we deduct any Policy Debt, withdrawals or loans, or allocate any new Net Premium.
 
An example
 
For a Policy with Accumulated Value of $30,000 in the Investment Options, the maximum monthly asset charge is:
 
(($25,000 × 0.0375%) + ($5,000 × 0.0042%) = $9.38 + $0.21) = $9.59
 
The annual rate for the asset charge is 0% on and after the Monthly Deduction End Date.
 
Charges for optional riders
If you add any Riders to your Policy, we add any charges for them to your monthly charge.
 
Lapsing and Reinstatement
 
There is no guarantee that your Policy will not lapse even if you pay your planned periodic premium. Your Policy will lapse if there is not enough Accumulated Value, after subtracting any Policy Debt, to cover the monthly charge on the day we make the deduction. Your Policy’s Accumulated Value is affected by the following:
 
•  loans or withdrawals you make from your Policy
 
•  not making planned premium payments
 
•  the performance of your Investment Options
 
•  charges under the Policy.
 
If there is not enough Accumulated Value to pay the total monthly charge, we deduct the amount that’s available and send you, and anyone you have assigned your Policy to, a notice telling you the amount to pay to keep your Policy In Force. The minimum amount you must pay to keep your Policy In Force is equal to three times the monthly charge that was due on the Monthly Payment Date when there was not enough Accumulated Value to pay the charge, plus premium load. For more information regarding payment due to keep your Policy In Force, please contact our life insurance operations center.
 
We will give you a grace period of 61 days from the date we send the notice to pay sufficient premium to keep your Policy In Force. Your Policy will remain In Force during the grace period.


38



 

If you do not make the minimum payment
If we do not receive your payment within the grace period, your Policy will lapse with no value. This means we will end your life insurance coverage.
 
If you make the minimum payment
If we receive your payment within the grace period, we will allocate your Net Premium to the Investment Options you have chosen and deduct the monthly charge from your Investment Options in proportion to the Accumulated Value you have in each Investment Option.
 
If your Policy is in danger of lapsing and you have Policy Debt, you may find that making the minimum payment would cause the total premiums paid to exceed the maximum amount for your Policy’s Face Amount under tax laws. In that situation, we will not accept the portion of your payment that would exceed the maximum amount. To stop your Policy lapsing, you will have to repay a portion of your Policy Debt.
 
Remember to tell us if your payment is a premium payment. Otherwise, we will treat it as a loan repayment.
 
How to avoid future lapsing
To stop your Policy from lapsing in the future, you may want to make larger or more frequent premium payments if tax laws permit it. Or if you have a loan, you may want to repay a portion of it.
 
Paying Death Benefit Proceeds during the grace period
If the Insured dies during the grace period, we will pay Death Benefit Proceeds to your Beneficiary. We will reduce the payment by any unpaid monthly charges and any Policy Debt.
 
Reinstating a lapsed Policy
If your Policy lapses, you have five years from the end of the grace period to apply for a reinstatement. We will reinstate it if you send us the following:
 
•  a written application
 
•  evidence satisfactory to us that the Insured is still insurable
 
•  a premium payment sufficient, after deduction of premium load, to:
 
  •  cover all unpaid monthly charges and Policy loan interest that were due in the grace period, and
 
  •  keep your Policy In Force for three months after the day your Policy is reinstated.
 
We will reinstate your Policy as of the first Monthly Payment Date on or after the day we approve the reinstatement. When we reinstate your Policy, its Accumulated Value will be the same as it was on the day your Policy lapsed. We will allocate the Accumulated Value according to your most recent premium allocation instructions.
 
At reinstatement:
 
•  Surrender charges and policy charges other than Cost of Insurance Charges will resume on their schedule as of the Monthly Payment Date when lapse occurred.
 
•  Cost of Insurance Charges will be calculated using Cost of Insurance Rates that resume their original schedule as if lapse had never occurred, reflecting the Insureds’ Ages at reinstatement and policy duration measured from the original Policy Date.
 
Reinstating a lapsed Policy with Policy Debt
If you had Policy Debt when your Policy lapsed, we will not pay or credit interest on it during the period between the lapsing and reinstatement of your Policy. There are special rules that apply to reinstating a Policy with Policy Debt:
 
•  If we reinstate your Policy on the first Monthly Payment Date that immediately follows the lapse, we will not reinstate the debt.
 
•  If we reinstate your Policy on any Monthly Payment Date other than the Monthly Payment Date that immediately follows the lapse, we will deduct the Policy Debt from your Policy’s Accumulated Value. This means you will no longer have Policy Debt when your Policy is reinstated. However, we will reinstate your Policy Debt if you ask us to in writing.

Calculating unit values
When you choose a Variable Investment Option, we credit your Policy with accumulation units. The number of units we credit equals the amount we have allocated divided by the unit value of the Variable Account. Similarly, the number of accumulation units in your Policy will be reduced when you make a transfer, withdrawal or loan from a Variable Investment Option, and when your monthly charges are deducted.
 
An example
 
You ask us to allocate $6,000 to the Inflation Managed Investment Option on a Business Day. At the end of that day, the unit value of the Variable Account is $15. We will credit your Policy with 400 units ($6,000 divided by $15).
 
The value of an accumulation unit is the basis for all financial transactions relating to the Variable Investment Options. The value of an accumulation unit is not the same as the value of a share in the underlying portfolio. We calculate the unit value for each Variable Account once every Business Day, usually at or about 4:00 p.m. Eastern time.
 
Generally, for any transaction, we will use the next unit value calculated after we receive your Written Request. If we receive your Written Request before the time of the close of the New York Stock Exchange, which is usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern time, on a Business Day, we will use the unit value calculated as of the end of that Business Day. If we receive your request at or after the time of the close of the New York Stock Exchange on a Business Day, we will use the unit value calculated as of the end of the next Business Day.
 
If a scheduled transaction falls on a day that is not a Business Day, we will process it as of the end of the next Business Day. For your monthly charge, we will use the unit value calculated on your Monthly Payment Date. If your Monthly Payment Date does not fall on a Business Day, we will use the unit value calculated as of the end of the next Business Day. For information about timing of transactions, see Policy Basics.
 
The unit value calculation is based on the following:
 
•  the investment performance of the underlying portfolio
 
•  any dividends or distributions paid by the underlying portfolio
 
•  any charges for any taxes that are, or may become, associated with the operation of the Variable Account.
 
The unit value of a Variable Account will change with the value of its corresponding portfolio. Changes in the unit value of a Variable Account will not change the number of accumulation units credited to your Policy.
 
Fees and expenses paid by the Funds
Each Fund pays advisory fees and other expenses. These are deducted from the assets of the Fund’s portfolios and may vary from year to year. They are not fixed and are not part of the terms of your Policy. You will find more about Fund fees and expenses in Fee Tables and in each Fund’s prospectus. If you choose a Variable Investment Option, these fees and expenses affect you indirectly because they reduce portfolio returns. Each Fund is governed by its own Board of Trustees or Board of Directors.
 
The SEC recently approved a rule change which will require the Boards of Trustees/Directors of mutual funds to determine whether a redemption fee (not to exceed 2%) or other trading (transfer) restrictions should be imposed. A redemption fee is a fee that would be charged by and paid to the Fund (not to us). In the event the Board of Trustees/Directors of any underlying Funds imposes such fees or limitations, we will pass them on to you.
 
Fixed Options
 
You can also choose from two Fixed Options: the Fixed Account and the Fixed LT Account. The Fixed Options provide a guaranteed minimum annual rate of interest. The amounts allocated to the Fixed Options are held in our General Account. For more information about the General Account, see About Pacific Life.
 
Here are some things you need to know about the Fixed Options:
 
•  Accumulated Value allocated to the Fixed Options earns interest on a daily basis, using a 365-day year. Our minimum annual interest rate is 2.5%.
 
•  We may offer a higher annual interest rate on the Fixed Options. If we do, we will guarantee the higher rate until your next Policy Anniversary.
 
•  If we offer a higher annual interest rate on a Fixed Option, we may also pay additional interest on Accumulated Value in excess of $25,000 in that Fixed Option. Ask your insurance professional for current interest rates.
 
•  There are no investment risks or direct charges. Policy charges still apply.


46



 

•  There are limitations on when and how much you can transfer from the Fixed Options. These limitations are described below, in Transferring Among Investment Options. It may take several Policy Years to transfer your Accumulated Value out of either of the Fixed Options.
 
•  We may place a limit of $1,000,000 for Net Premiums and $100,000 for loan repayments and transfers allocated to the Fixed Options in any 12-month period. This is an aggregate limit for all Pacific Life policies you own. Any allocations in excess of these limits will be allocated to your other Investment Options according to your most recent instructions. We may increase the limits at any time at our sole discretion. To find out if higher limits are in effect, ask your insurance professional or contact us.
 
•  We have not registered the Fixed Options with the SEC, and the staff of the SEC has not reviewed the disclosure in this prospectus relating to the Fixed Options. Disclosures regarding the Fixed Options, however, are subject to certain generally applicable provisions of the federal securities laws relating to the accuracy and completeness of statements made in the prospectus.
 
Transferring Among Investment Options and Market-timing Restrictions
 
Transfers
You can transfer among your Investment Options any time during the life of your Policy without triggering any current income tax. You can make transfers by writing to us, by making a telephone or electronic transfer, or by signing up for one of our automatic transfer services. You will find more information about making telephone and electronic transfers in Pacific Select Exec IV Basics.
 
Transfers will normally be effective as of the end of the Business Day we receive your written, telephone or electronic request.
 
Here are some things you need to know about making transfers:
 
•  Transfers are limited to 25 for each calendar year.
 
•  If you have used all 25 transfers available to you in a calendar year, you may no longer make transfers between the Investment Options until the start of the next calendar year. However, you may make 1 transfer of all or a portion of your Policy’s Accumulated Value remaining in the Variable Investment Options into the Cash Management Investment Option prior to the start of the next calendar year.
 
•  You may only make 2 transfers in any calendar month to or from each of the following Investment Options: American Funds Growth-Income, American Funds Growth, American Funds Asset Allocation, Fidelity VIP Contrafund® Service Class 2, Fidelity VIP Freedom Income Service Class 2, Fidelity VIP Freedom 2010 Service Class 2, Fidelity VIP Freedom 2015 Service Class 2, Fidelity VIP Freedom 2020 Service Class 2, Fidelity VIP Freedom 2025 Service Class 2, Fidelity VIP Freedom 2030 Service Class 2, Fidelity VIP Growth Service Class 2, Fidelity VIP Mid Cap Service Class 2 and Fidelity VIP Value Strategies Service Class 2, T. Rowe Price Blue Chip Growth Portfolio – II, T. Rowe Price Equity Income Portfolio – II.
 
•  Additionally, only 2 transfers in any calendar month may involve any of the following Investment Options: International Value, International Small-Cap, International Large-Cap, Emerging Markets, BlackRock Global Allocation V.I. Fund Class III, GE Investments Total Return Fund Class 3, Janus Aspen Series Overseas Service Class, PIMCO Global Multi-Asset Portfolio Advisor Class, Templeton Global Bond Securities Fund Class II or Van Eck VIP Global Hard Assets Fund.
 
•  For the purpose of applying the limitations, multiple transfers that occur on the same day are considered 1 transfer. Transfers into the Loan Account, a transfer of Accumulated Value from the Loan Account into your Investment Options following a loan payment, or transfers that occur as a result of the dollar cost averaging service, the portfolio rebalancing service, approved corporate owned life insurance policy rebalancing programs, the first year transfer service or an approved asset allocation service are excluded from the transfer limitations. Also, allocations of premium payments are not subject to these limitations.
 
•  Transfers to or from a Variable Investment Option cannot be made before the seventh calendar day following the last transfer to or from the same Variable Investment Option. If the seventh calendar day is not a Business Day, then a transfer may not occur until the next Business Day. The day of the last transfer is not considered a calendar day for purposes of meeting this requirement. For example, if you make a transfer into the Diversified Research Variable Investment Option on Monday, you may not make any transfers to or from that Variable Investment Option before the following Monday. Transfers to or from the Cash Management Variable Investment Option are excluded from this limitation.
 
•  You can only make transfers from the Variable Investment Options to the Fixed Options 30 days prior to and 30 days after each Policy Anniversary. However, if your Policy was issued in Connecticut, Georgia, Maryland, Massachusetts, North Carolina, North Dakota or Pennsylvania, you can make transfers to the Fixed Account any time during the first 18 months of your Policy.
 
•  You can make one transfer in any 12-month period from each Fixed Option, except if you have signed up for the first year transfer service (see Transfer Services later in this section). Such transfers are limited to the greater of:
 
  •  $5,000 or 25% of your Policy’s Accumulated Value in the Fixed Account
 
  •  $5,000 or 10% of your Policy’s Accumulated Value in the Fixed LT Account
 
•  We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to waive the transfer restrictions on the Fixed Options. Please contact us or your insurance professional to find out if a waiver is currently in effect.


47



 

 
•  Currently, there is no charge for making a transfer but we may charge you in the future. The maximum fee we will charge for a transfer is $25 per transfer in excess of 12 per Policy Year.
 
•  There is no minimum required value for the Investment Option you are transferring to or from.
 
•  There is no minimum amount required if you are making transfers between Variable Investment Options.
 
•  You cannot make a transfer if your Policy is in the grace period and is in danger of lapsing.
 
•  We can restrict or suspend transfers.
 
•  We will notify you or your representative if we refuse or delay your transfer request.
 
•  We have the right to impose limits on transfer amounts, the value of the Investment Options you are transferring to or from, or impose further limits on the number and frequency of transfers you can make. Any policy we establish with regard to the exercise of any of these rights will be applied uniformly to all Policy Owners.
 
There are no exceptions to the above transfer limitations in the absence of an error by us, a substitution of Investment Options, or reorganization of underlying portfolios or other extraordinary circumstances.
 
Market-timing restrictions
The Policy is not designed to serve as a vehicle for frequent trading in response to short-term fluctuations in the market. Accordingly, organizations or individuals that use market-timing investment strategies and make frequent transfers should not purchase the Policy. Such frequent trading can disrupt management of the underlying portfolios and raise expenses. The transfer limitations set forth above are intended to reduce frequent trading. In addition, we monitor certain large transaction activity in an attempt to detect trading that may be disruptive to the portfolios. In the event transfer activity is found to be disruptive, certain future subsequent transfers by such Policy Owners, or by a insurance professional or other party acting on behalf of one or more Policy Owners, will require preclearance. Frequent trading and large transactions that are disruptive to portfolio management can have an adverse effect on portfolio performance and therefore your Policy’s performance. Such trading may also cause dilution in the value of the Investment Options held by long-term Policy Owners. While these issues can occur in connection with any of the underlying portfolios, portfolios holding securities that are subject to market pricing inefficiencies are more susceptible to abuse. For example, portfolios holding international securities may be more susceptible to time-zone arbitrage which seeks to take advantage of pricing discrepancies occurring between the time of the closing of the market on which the security is traded and the time of pricing of the portfolios.
 
Our policies and procedures which limit the number and frequency of transfers and which may impose preclearance requirements on certain large transactions are applied uniformly to all Policy Owners, subject to the transfer restrictions outlined above. However, there is a risk that these policies and procedures will not detect all potentially disruptive activity or will otherwise prove ineffective in whole or in part. Further, we and our affiliates make available to our variable life insurance policy owners and variable annuity contract owners underlying Funds not affiliated with us. We are unable to monitor or restrict the trading activity with respect to shares of such Funds not sold in connection with our contracts. In the event the Board of Trustees/Directors of any underlying Fund imposes a redemption fee or trading (transfers) limitations, we will pass them on to you.
 
We reserve the right to restrict, in our sole discretion and without prior notice, transfers initiated by a market timing organization or individual or other party authorized to give transfer instructions on behalf of multiple Policy Owners. Such restrictions could include:
 
•  not accepting transfer instructions from a representative acting on behalf of more than one Policy Owner, and
 
•  not accepting preauthorized transfer forms from market timers or other entities acting on behalf of more than one Policy Owner at a time.
 
We further reserve the right to impose, without prior notice, restrictions on transfers that we determine, in our sole discretion, will disadvantage or potentially hurt the rights or interests of other policy owners.
 
Transfer Services
 
We offer four services that allow you to make transfers of Accumulated Value or interest earnings from one Investment Option to another. Under the dollar cost averaging and portfolio rebalancing services, you can transfer among the Variable Investment Options. Under the first year transfer service, you can make transfers from the Fixed Account to the Fixed LT Account and the Variable Investment Options. Under the Fixed Option interest sweep service, you can transfer interest earnings from the Fixed Account or Fixed LT Account to the Variable Investment Options.
 
We may restrict the number of transfer services in which you can participate at any time. We have the right to discontinue, modify or suspend any of these transfer services at any time.
 
Detailed information regarding each transfer service appears in the SAI.


48



 

Dollar cost averaging
Our dollar cost averaging service allows you to make scheduled transfers of $50 or more between Variable Investment Options. It does not allow you to make transfers to or from either of the Fixed Options. We process transfers as of the end of the Business Day on your Policy’s monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual anniversary, depending on the interval you choose. You must have at least $5,000 in a Variable Investment Option to start the service.
 
Since the value of accumulation units can change, more units are credited for a scheduled transfer when unit values are lower, and fewer units when unit values are higher. This allows you to average the cost of investments over time. Investing this way does not guarantee profits or prevent losses.
 
We will not charge you for the dollar cost averaging service or for transfers made under this service, even if we decide to charge you in the future for transfers outside of the service, except if we have to by law.
 
Portfolio rebalancing
As the value of the underlying portfolios changes, the value of the allocations to the Variable Investment Options will also change. The portfolio rebalancing service automatically transfers your Policy’s Accumulated Value among the Variable Investment Options according to your original percentage allocations. We process transfers as of the end of the Business Day on your Policy’s next quarterly, semi-annual or annual anniversary, depending on the interval you choose, unless you specify a different start date.
 
Because the portfolio rebalancing service matches your original percentage allocations, we may transfer money from an Investment Option with relatively higher returns to one with relatively lower returns.
 
We do not charge for the portfolio rebalancing service and we do not currently charge for transfers made under this service. If imposed, transfer fees could be substantial if total transfers scheduled under this service plus any unscheduled transfers you request exceed any applicable minimum guarantee of free transfers per Policy Year.
 
If at any time you move all or any portion of your policy’s accumulated value out of the investment options you selected at the time you enrolled in the portfolio rebalancing service, your enrollment will be cancelled. Once the portfolio rebalancing service is cancelled, you must wait 30 days before you can re-enroll.
 
Fixed Option interest sweep
The Fixed Option interest sweep service allows you to make scheduled transfers of the accumulated interest earnings from your Fixed Account or Fixed LT Account to the Variable Investment Options. At the time you complete the election form for the Fixed Option interest sweep service, you will select either the Fixed Account or the Fixed LT Account as the account from which you want to transfer interest earnings. You will also select the Variable Investment Options to which you wish to transfer the interest earnings. Interest earnings subject to transfer under the Fixed Option interest sweep service will begin to accrue on the Policy’s first monthly anniversary following your enrollment in the service. Each transfer must be at least $50. If the fixed account option you selected on the election form does not have interest earnings of at least $50, the transfer will be held until the next scheduled transfer date when the interest earnings are at least $50. Amounts transferred under the Fixed Option interest sweep service do not count against the Fixed Option transfer limitations or Investment Option transfer restrictions.
 
We do not charge for the Fixed Option interest sweep service and we do not currently charge for transfers made under this service. If imposed, transfer fees could be substantial if total transfers scheduled under this service plus any unscheduled transfers you request exceed any applicable minimum guarantee of free transfers per Policy Year.

WITHDRAWALS, SURRENDERS AND LOANS
 
You can take out all or part of your Policy’s Accumulated Value while your Policy is In Force by making withdrawals or surrendering your Policy. You can take out a loan from us using your Policy as security. You can also use your Policy’s loan and withdrawal features to supplement your income, for example, during retirement.
 
Making a withdrawal, taking out a loan or surrendering your Policy can change your Policy’s tax status, generate taxable income, or make your Policy more susceptible to lapsing. Be sure to plan carefully before using these Policy benefits.
 
If you withdraw a larger amount than you have paid into your Policy, your withdrawal may be considered taxable income.
 
For more information on the tax treatment of withdrawals or loans, or in the event you surrender your Policy, see Variable Life Insurance and Your Taxes.
 
Making Withdrawals
 
You can withdraw part of your Policy’s Net Cash Surrender Value starting on your Policy’s first anniversary. Here’s how it works:
 
•  You must send us a Written Request that’s signed by all owners.
 
•  Each withdrawal must be at least $200, and the Net Cash Surrender Value of your Policy after the withdrawal must be at least $500.
 
•  We will not accept your request to make a withdrawal if it will cause your Policy to become a Modified Endowment Contract, unless you have told us in writing that you want your Policy to become a Modified Endowment Contract.
 
•  We may charge you $25 for each withdrawal you make. (There is no charge currently imposed upon a withdrawal.)
 
•  You can choose to receive your withdrawal in a lump sum or use it to buy an income benefit. Please see the discussion about income benefits in General Information About Your Policy.
 
•  If you do not tell us which Investment Options to take the withdrawal from, we will deduct the withdrawal and any withdrawal charge from all of your Investment Options in proportion to the Accumulated Value you have in each Investment Option.
 
•  The Accumulated Value, Cash Surrender Value and Net Cash Surrender Value of your Policy will be reduced by the amount of each withdrawal.
 
•  If the Insured dies after you have sent a withdrawal request to us, but before we have made the withdrawal, we will deduct the amount of the withdrawal from any Death Benefit Proceeds owing.
 
How withdrawals affect your policy’s death benefit
Making a withdrawal will affect your Policy’s Death Benefit in the following ways:
 
•  If your Policy’s Death Benefit does not equal the Minimum Death Benefit, the Death Benefit may decrease by the amount of your withdrawal.
 
•  If your Policy’s Death Benefit equals the Minimum Death Benefit, the Death Benefit may decrease by more than the amount of your withdrawal.
 
How withdrawals affect your policy’s face amount
If you have chosen Death Benefit Option B or Option C, making a withdrawal does not reduce your Policy’s Total Face Amount.
 
If you have chosen Death Benefit Option A, then a withdrawal may reduce your Policy’s Total Face Amount; however, the first withdrawal of each year in the first 15 Policy Years up to the lesser of $10,000 or 10% of the Net Cash Surrender Value will not reduce the Policy’s Total Face Amount. If you withdraw a larger amount, or make additional withdrawals, the Total Face Amount will usually be reduced by the amount, if any, by which the Total Face Amount exceeds the result of the Death Benefit immediately before the withdrawal minus the amount of the withdrawal. For Policies with Death Benefit Option A and the Guideline Premium Test election, the Total Face Amount reduction following a withdrawal may be limited to keep the Guideline Premium Limit greater than zero at all times prior to age 100.
 
We reserve the right to refuse any withdrawal request that would reduce the Policy’s Total Face Amount to less than $1,000 after the withdrawal.


50



 

An example
 
For a Policy with a Face Amount of $250,000 and a Surrender Value of $80,000, the Owner may withdraw the lesser of $10,000 or $8,000 (10% × $80,000) without any reduction in Face Amount.
 
Example 1:  Owner requests a withdrawal of $6,000. There will be no reduction in Face Amount.
 
Example 2:  Owner requests a withdrawal of $10,000. The Face Amount reduction is the amount of the withdrawal, less the allowable withdrawal amount, or $2,000 ($10,000 − $8,000 = $2,000). The Face Amount following the withdrawal is $248,000 ($250,000 − $2,000 = $248,000).
 
Taking Out a Loan
 
You can borrow money from us any time while your Policy is In Force. The minimum amount you can borrow is $200, unless there are other restrictions in your state. The maximum amount available to borrow is less than 100% of your Accumulated Value.
 
Taking out a loan will affect the growth of your Policy’s Accumulated Value, and may affect the Death Benefit.
 
You may request a loan either by sending us a request in writing, over the telephone or electronically. You will find more information about requesting a loan by telephone or electronically in Policy Basics.
 
When you borrow money from us, we use your Policy’s Accumulated Value as security. You pay interest on the amount you borrow. The Accumulated Value set aside to secure your loan also earns interest. Here’s how it works:
 
  •  To secure the loan, we transfer an amount equal to the amount you are borrowing from your Accumulated Value in the Investment Options to the Loan Account. We will transfer this amount from your Investment Options in proportion to the Accumulated Value you have in each Investment Option, unless you tell us otherwise.
 
•  Interest owing on the amount you have borrowed accrues daily at an annual rate of 2.75%. Interest that has accrued during the Policy Year is due on your Policy Anniversary.
 
•  The amount in the Loan Account earns interest daily at an annual rate of at least 2.5%. On each Policy Anniversary, if the Policy Debt exceeds the Loan Account Value, then the excess is transferred from your Policy’s Investment Options to the Loan Account on a proportionate basis to the Loan Account. If the Loan Account Value exceeds Policy Debt, then the excess will be transferred from the Loan Account to the Investment Options according to your most recent premium allocation instructions.
 
•  We currently intend to credit interest on the amount in the Loan Account at an annual rate of 2.75% in Policy Year 6 and thereafter. We can decrease the rate credited if we believe the change is needed to ensure that your Policy loan is not treated as a taxable distribution under federal income tax laws, or under any applicable ruling, regulation, or court decision. We will not decrease the annual rate to less than 2.5% on the amount in the Loan Account.
 
How much you can borrow
The maximum amount you may borrow on any date is equal to the Accumulated Value less:
 
•  three times the most recent monthly deduction;
 
•  any surrender charge; and
 
•  any existing Policy Debt.
 
An example of how much you can borrow
 
For a Policy in Policy Year 5 with:
 
• Accumulated Value of $100,000
 
• Policy Debt of $60,000
 
• a most recent monthly deduction of $225
 
• a surrender charge of $5,000 if the Policy was surrendered on the day the loan is taken.
 
The maximum amount you can borrow is $34,325. (100,000 − (3 × 225) − 5,000 − 60,000)
 
Paying off your loan
You can pay off all or part of the loan any time while your Policy is In Force. Unless you tell us otherwise, we will generally transfer any loan payments you make proportionately to your Investment Options according to your most recent allocation instructions. We may, however, first transfer any loan payments you make to the Fixed Options, up to the amount originally transferred from the Fixed Options to the Loan Account. We will then transfer any excess amount to your Variable Investment Options according to your most recent allocation instructions.
 
While you have Policy Debt, we will treat any money you send us as a loan repayment unless you tell us otherwise in writing.


51



 

You can make monthly loan payments using our Electronic Funds Transfer Plan. Here’s how it works:
 
•  You authorize us to withdraw a specified amount from your checking account, savings account or money market account each month by completing an Electronic Funds Transfer Form. Please contact us or your insurance professional for a copy of this form.
 
•  You can choose any day between the 4th and 28th of the month for us to make the withdrawal.
 
•  Loan payments made by the Electronic Funds Transfer Plan must be at least $50.
 
What happens if you do not pay off your loan
If you do not pay off your loan, we will deduct the amount in the Loan Account, including any interest you owe, from one of the following:
 
•  the Death Benefit Proceeds before we pay them to your Beneficiary
 
•  the Cash Surrender Value if you surrender your Policy
 
Taking out a loan, whether or not you repay it, will have a permanent effect on the value of your Policy. For example, while your Policy’s Accumulated Value is held in the Loan Account, it will miss out on all earnings available in the Investment Options. The amount of interest you earn on the Loan Account may be less than the amount of interest you would have earned from the Fixed Options. These could lower your Policy’s Accumulated Value, which could reduce the amount of the Death Benefit.
 
When a loan is outstanding, the amount in the Loan Account is not available to help pay for any Policy charges. If, after deducting your Policy Debt, there is not enough Accumulated Value in your Policy to cover the Policy charges, your Policy could lapse. You may need to make additional premium payments or loan repayments to prevent your Policy from lapsing.
 
Your Policy Debt could result in taxable income if you surrender your Policy, if your Policy lapses, or if your Policy is a Modified Endowment Contract. You should talk to your tax advisor before taking out a loan under your Policy. See Taxation of distributions in Variable Life Insurance and Your Taxes.
 
Ways to Use Your Policy’s Loan and Withdrawal Features
 
You can use your Policy’s loan and withdrawal features to supplement your income, for example, during retirement. If you are interested in using your life insurance Policy to supplement your retirement income, please contact us for more information.
 
Setting up an income stream may not be suitable for all Policy Owners.
 
Here are some things you should consider when setting up an income stream:
 
•  the rate of return you expect to earn on your Investment Options
 
•  how long you would like to receive regular income
 
•  the amount of Accumulated Value you want to maintain in your Policy.
 
You can ask your insurance professional for Illustrations showing how Policy charges may affect existing Accumulated Value and how future withdrawals and loans may affect the Accumulated Value and Death Benefit. You can also ask for accompanying charts and graphs that compare results from various retirement strategies.
 
Understanding the risks
Using your Policy to supplement your income does not change your rights or our obligations under the Policy. The terms for loans and withdrawals described in this prospectus remain the same. It is important to understand the risks that are involved in using your Policy’s loan and withdrawal features. Use of these features may increase the chance of your Policy lapsing.
 
You should consult with your financial adviser and carefully consider how much you can withdraw and borrow from your Policy each year to set up your income stream.
 
Automated Income Option
 
Our automated income option (“AIO”) program allows you to make scheduled withdrawals or loans. Your Policy is eligible after the 7th Policy Anniversary. To begin the program, you must have a minimum Net Cash Surrender Value of $50,000, and your Policy must not qualify as a Modified Endowment Contract.
 
You request participation in the AIO program and specify your AIO preferences by sending us an AIO Request Form. If you wish to do so, contact your insurance professional for an AIO Request Form.
 
There is no fee to participate in the AIO program. The $25 fee for withdrawals under the AIO program is currently waived.
 
Withdrawals and loans may reduce Policy values and benefits. They may also increase your risk of lapse. In order to minimize the risk of lapse, you should not take additional loans or withdrawals while you are in the AIO program.


52



 

Distributions under the AIO program may result in tax liability. Please consult your tax advisor. For more information, see Variable Life Insurance and Your Taxes.
 
You may discontinue participation in the AIO program at any time by sending a Written Request to us.
 
Detailed information appears in the SAI.
 
Overloan Protection II Rider
 
Subject to availability in your state, your Policy will have an Overloan Protection II Rider if the Insured is Age 80 or younger and you elect the Guideline Premium Test as the Death Benefit Qualification Test. Exercise of this Rider will guarantee, as long as the Rider stays in effect, that the Policy will not lapse even if the Policy Debt exceeds the Accumulated Value. For more information, please see The Death Benefit: Other Riders and Benefits.
 
Surrendering Your Policy
 
You can surrender or cash in your Policy at any time while the Insured is alive.
 
Here are some things you need to know about surrendering your Policy:
 
•  You must send us your Policy and a Written Request.
 
•  We will send you the Policy’s Net Cash Surrender Value. You can choose to receive your money in a lump sum or use it to buy an income benefit. Please see the discussion about income benefits in General Information About Your Policy.
 
•  If you surrender your Policy during the first 10 Policy Years, we will deduct a surrender charge.
 
•  Each Coverage Layer has a surrender charge, based on the Face Amount of each Coverage Layer and the Age and Risk Class of the Insured, and the Death Benefit Option, on the date each Coverage Layer is effective. If you increase your Policy’s Face Amount, we will send you a supplemental schedule of benefits that shows the surrender charge factors associated with the increase.
 
Your Policy has a Level Period at Policy issue, during which the surrender charge is equal to the Initial Amount. After the Level Period, the surrender charge decreases on each Monthly Payment Date by 1/12 of the Reduction Factor until the charge becomes $0 after the End Year. The Initial Amount, Level Period, Reduction Factor and End Year are shown in the Table of Surrender Charge Factors in your Policy Specifications.
 
Example
 
For a Policy that insures a male non-smoker, Age 45 at Policy issue, with a Policy Face Amount of $100,000
 
Initial Amount = $1,335.50
Level Period = 5 Policy Years
Reduction Factor = 267.10
End Year = 10
 
During the first 60 Policy months, the surrender charge is: $1,335.50
 
In Policy month 61, the surrender charge is: $1,313.24 ($1,335.50 − (267.10 ¸ 12))
 
•  There’s no surrender charge on any Coverage Layer after 10 Policy Years from the date the Coverage Layer is effective.
 
•  We guarantee the surrender charge rates will not increase.
 
•  If you decrease the Face Amount, the decrease will not affect your Policy’s surrender charge.


53



 

 
GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR POLICY
 
This section tells you some additional things you should know about your Policy.
 
Income Benefit
 
If you surrender or make a withdrawal from your Policy, you can use the money to buy an income benefit that provides a monthly income. Your Policy’s Beneficiary can use Death Benefit Proceeds to buy an income benefit. In addition to the income benefit described below, you can choose from other income benefits we may make available from time to time.
 
The following is one income benefit available under the Policy:
 
•  The income benefit is based on the life of the person receiving the income. If the Policy Owner is buying the income benefit, monthly income will be based on the Owner’s life. If the Policy’s Beneficiary buys the income benefit, monthly income will be based on the Beneficiary’s life.
 
•  We will pay a monthly income for at least 10 years regardless of whether the person receiving the income is still alive.
 
•  After 10 years, we will only pay the monthly income for as long as the person receiving it is still alive.
 
•  The minimum monthly income benefit calculated must be at least $100.
 
•  For this income benefit, the amount you receive will always be at least as much as the amount guaranteed by your Policy.
 
Paying the Death Benefit in the Case of Suicide
 
If the Insured, whether sane or insane, commits suicide within two years of the Policy Date, Death Benefit Proceeds will be the total of all premiums you have paid, less any Policy Debt and any withdrawals you have made.
 
If you reinstate your Policy and the Insured commits suicide, while sane or insane, within two years of the latest reinstatement date, the Death Benefit Proceeds will be the sum of the premiums paid, less the sum of any Policy loans and withdrawals taken, since the latest reinstatement date.
 
If the Insured commits suicide, while sane or insane, after two years from the Policy Date but within two years of any increase in Total Face Amount or, if applicable, the latest reinstatement date after any such increase, the Death Benefit Proceeds will be limited by the following adjustments:
 
  1)  any such increase in Total Face Amount will be excluded;
 
  2)  refund of the portion of monthly deductions associated with any such increase will be included; and
 
  3)  premium load associated with the portion of monthly deductions referred to in 2) above will be included.
 
Replacement of Life Insurance or Annuities
 
The term replacement has a special meaning in the life insurance industry. Before you make a decision to buy, we want you to understand what impact a replacement may have on your existing insurance policy.
 
A replacement occurs when you buy a new life insurance policy or annuity contract, and a policy or contract you already own has been or will be:
 
•  lapsed, forfeited, surrendered or partially surrendered, assigned to the replacing insurer, or otherwise terminated
 
•  converted to reduced paid-up insurance, continued as extended term insurance, or otherwise reduced in value by the use of nonforfeiture benefits or other policy values
 
•  amended to effect either a reduction in benefits or in the term for which coverage would otherwise remain in force or for which benefits would be paid
 
•  reissued with any reduction in cash value, or
 
•  pledged as collateral or subject to borrowing, whether in a single loan or under a schedule of borrowing over a period of time.
 
There are circumstances when replacing your existing life insurance policy or annuity contract can benefit you. As a general rule, however, replacement is not in your best interest. A replacement may affect your plan of insurance in the following ways:
 
•  You will pay new acquisition costs;
 
•  You may have to submit to new medical examinations;
 
•  You may pay increased premiums because of the increased age or changed health of the insured;


54



 

 
•  Claims made in the early policy years may be contested;
 
•  You may have to pay surrender charges and/or income taxes on your current policy or contract values;
 
•  Your new policy or contract values may be subject to surrender charges; and
 
•  If part of a financed purchase, your existing policy or contract values or Death Benefit may be reduced.
 
You should carefully compare the costs and benefits of your existing policy or contract with those of the new policy or contract to determine whether replacement is in your best interest.
 
Policy Exchange
 
If your Policy is issued in Connecticut or Maryland, you may exchange this Policy for a policy with benefits that do not vary with the investment results of a separate account. You must request this in writing within 18 months of your Policy Date and return the original Policy.
 
The new policy will have the same Owner, Beneficiary and Cash Surrender Value as those of your original Policy on the date of exchange. It will also have the same issue Age, Policy Date, Face Amount, benefits, Riders and underwriting class as the original Policy. However, if your Risk Class is not available, the Policy will be issued with a comparable risk classification. Any Policy Debt will be carried over to the new policy. Evidence of insurability will not be required.
 
Errors on Your Application
 
If the gender or birth date of the Insured is stated incorrectly on your application, the Death Benefit under your Policy will be the greater of the following:
 
•  the Death Benefit based on a Net Amount At Risk adjusted by the ratio of the incorrect cost of insurance rate to the correct cost of insurance rate for the Insured’s gender and Age, or
 
•  the Minimum Death Benefit for the correct gender and birth date.
 
If the Insured’s gender or birth date is misstated in the application and it is discovered before the death of the Insured, we will not recalculate the Accumulated Value, but we will use the correct gender and birth date of the Insured in calculating future monthly deductions.
 
Contesting the Validity of Your Policy
 
We have the right to contest the validity of your Policy for two years from the Policy Date. Once your Policy has been In Force for two years from the Policy Date during the lifetime of the Insured, we generally lose the right to contest its validity.
 
We also have the right to contest the validity of a Policy that you reinstate for two years from the day that it was reinstated. Once your reinstated Policy has been In Force for two years from the reinstatement date during the lifetime of the Insured, we generally lose the right to contest its validity. During this period, we may contest your Policy only if there is a material misrepresentation on your application for reinstatement.
 
We have the right to contest the validity of an increase in the Face Amount of a Policy for two years from the day the increase becomes effective. Once the increased Face Amount has been In Force for two years during the lifetime of the Insured, we generally lose the right to contest its validity.
 
Regardless of the above, we can contest the validity of your Policy for failure to pay premiums at any time. The Policy will terminate upon successful contest with respect to the Insured.
 
Assigning Your Policy as Collateral
 
You may assign your Policy as collateral to secure a loan, mortgage, or other kind of debt. An assignment will take place only when we receive and record your signed Collateral Assignment Form. When recorded, the assignment will take effect as of the date the form was signed. Any rights created by the assignment will be subject to any payments made or actions taken by us before we record the change. We will not be responsible for the validity of any assignment. Please contact us for a Collateral Assignment Form if you would like to assign your Policy.
 
Non-participating
 
This Policy will not share in any of our surplus earnings.

Policy Changes
 
We reserve the right to make any change to the provisions of this Policy to comply with, or give you the benefit of, any federal or state statute, rule, or regulation, including but not limited to requirements for life insurance contracts under the Tax Code or of any state. We will provide you with a copy of any such change, and file such a change with the insurance supervisory official of the state in which this Policy is delivered, and any other applicable regulatory authority. You have the right to refuse any such change.

VARIABLE LIFE INSURANCE AND YOUR TAXES
 
The tax consequences of owning a Policy or receiving proceeds from it may vary by jurisdiction and according to the circumstances of each Owner or Beneficiary.
 
The following is based on our understanding of the present federal income tax laws as they are currently interpreted by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). It is based on the Internal Revenue Code (the Tax Code) and does not cover any state or local tax laws. More detailed information appears in the SAI.
 
We do not know whether the current treatment of life insurance policies under current federal income tax or estate or gift tax laws will continue. We also do not know whether the current interpretations of the laws by the IRS or the courts will remain the same. Future legislation may adversely change the tax treatment of life insurance policies. This may affect the performance and underlying tax assumptions of this Policy, including any Riders. In some cases, these changes could result in a decrease in Policy values or lapse.
 
We do not make any guarantees about the tax status of your Policy, and you should not consider the discussion that follows to be tax advice. This is not a complete discussion of all federal income tax questions that may arise under a Policy. There are special rules that we do not include here that may apply in certain situations. Speak to a qualified tax adviser for complete information about federal, state and local taxes that may apply to you.
 
The Policy as Life Insurance
 
Death benefits from a life insurance policy may generally be excluded from income under Section 101(a) of the Tax Code.
 
We believe that the Policy meets the statutory definition of life insurance for federal income tax purposes. That means it will receive the same tax advantages as a conventional fixed life insurance policy. The two main tax advantages are:
 
•  In general, your Policy’s Beneficiary will not be subject to federal income taxes when he or she receives the Death Benefit Proceeds.
 
•  You will generally not be taxed on your Policy’s Accumulated Value unless you receive a cash distribution by making a withdrawal, surrendering your Policy, or in some instances, taking a loan from your Policy.
 
Policy Features and Charges
 
The tax laws defining life insurance do not cover all policy features. Your Policy may have features that could prevent it from qualifying as life insurance. For example, the tax laws have yet to address:
 
•  substandard risk policies
 
•  policies with term insurance on the Insured
 
•  life insurance policies that continue coverage beyond Age 100, or other advanced ages.
 
The Tax Code and tax regulations impose limitations on unreasonable mortality and expense charges for purposes of determining whether a policy qualifies as life insurance for federal tax purposes. We can change our mortality charges if we believe the changes are needed to ensure that your Policy qualifies as a life insurance contract.
 
Diversification rules and ownership of the Separate Account
 
Your Policy will not qualify for the tax benefit of a life insurance contract unless, among other requirements, the Separate Account follows certain rules requiring diversification of investments underlying the Policy. Section 817(h) of the Tax Code and related Treasury Regulations describe the diversification rules.
 
For a variable life insurance policy to qualify for tax deferral, assets in the separate accounts supporting the policy must be considered to be owned by the insurance company and not by the policy owner. If a policy owner is treated as having control over the underlying assets, the policy owner will be taxed currently on income and gains from the account and in such a case of “investor control” the policy owner would not derive the tax benefits normally associated with variable life insurance.
 
For more information about diversification rules, please refer to the accompanying prospectus of the Pacific Select Fund prospectus. For more information regarding investor control, please refer to the policy SAI.
 
Policy Exchanges
 
Policy exchanges fall under Section 1035(a) of the Tax Code.


57



 

If you exchange your Policy for another one that insures the same person, it generally will be treated as a tax-free exchange and, if so, will not result in the recognition of gain or loss. If the policy owner or the person insured by the policy is changed, the exchange will be treated as a taxable exchange.
 
Change of Ownership
 
You may have taxable income if you transfer ownership of your Policy, sell your Policy, or change the ownership of it in any way.
 
Corporate or Employer Owners
 
There are special tax issues for corporate Owners:
 
•  Section 101(j) of the Internal Revenue Code generally provides that Death Benefits paid in connection with certain life insurance policies involving an employer will be taxable income. Employer-involved policies issued or materially modified on or after August 18, 2006 may be subject to income tax liability on the Policy’s Death Benefit unless certain requirements and conditions of Internal Revenue Code Section 101(j) are met.
 
•  Using your Policy to informally fund a promised deferred compensation benefit for executives may have special tax consequences.
 
•  Corporate ownership of a Policy may affect your liability under the alternative minimum tax (Section 56 of the Tax Code) and the environmental tax (Section 59A of the Tax Code).
 
Please consult your tax adviser for these and other special rules for employer-involved Policies.
 
Loans and corporate-owned policies
If you borrow money to buy or carry certain life insurance policies, tax law provisions may limit the deduction of interest. If the taxpayer is an entity that’s a direct or indirect beneficiary of certain life insurance, endowment or annuity contracts, a portion of the entity’s deductions for loan interest may be disallowed, even though this interest may relate to debt that’s completely unrelated to the contract. There may be a limited exception that applies to contracts issued on Insureds who are 20% owners, officers, directors or employees of the entity at the time the Policy is issued. If the life insurance Policy is later exchanged for a new life insurance Policy, the Insured must meet this exception at the time the new Policy is issued. For more information about this exception, you should consult your tax adviser.
 
Modified Endowment Contracts
 
Section 7702A of the Tax Code defines conventional life insurance policies. It also defines a class of life insurance policies known as “Modified Endowment Contracts”. If your Policy is a Modified Endowment Contract, any distributions you receive during the life of the Policy are treated less favorably than under conventional life insurance policies. Withdrawals, loans, pledges, assignments and the surrender of your Policy are all considered distributions and may be subject to tax on an income-first basis and a 10% penalty.
 
When a Policy becomes a Modified Endowment Contract
A life insurance policy becomes a Modified Endowment Contract if, at any time during the first seven policy years, the sum of actual premiums paid exceeds the seven-pay limit. The seven-pay limit is the cumulative total of the level annual premiums (or seven-pay premiums) required to pay for the policy’s future death and endowment benefits.
 
An example
 
For a policy with seven-pay premiums of $1,000 a year, the maximum premiums you could pay during the first seven years to avoid modified endowment treatment would be:
 
• $1,000 in the first year
 
• $2,000 through the first two years
 
• $3,000 through the first three years, etc.
 
If there is a material change to your Policy, like a change in the Death Benefit, we may have to retest your Policy and restart the seven-pay premium period to determine whether the change has caused the Policy to become a Modified Endowment Contract.
 
Taxation of Distributions
 
Tax treatment of distributions from your Policy’s Accumulated Value may be treated differently, depending upon whether your Policy is a Modified Endowment Contract.


58



 

     
CONVENTIONAL LIFE INSURANCE POLICY   MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACT
 
Surrendering your Policy
Proceeds are taxed to the extent they exceed the investment in the contract1.   Proceeds are taxed to the extent they exceed the investment in the contract.
Making a withdrawal
If you make a withdrawal after your Policy has been In Force for 15 years, you will only be taxed on the amount you withdraw that exceeds the investment in the contract.   You will be taxed on the amount of the withdrawal that’s considered income2, including all previously non-taxed gains.
Special rules apply if you make a withdrawal within the first 15 Policy Years. You may be taxed on all or a portion of the withdrawal amount, and there is a reduction in Policy benefits.    
Taking out a loan
You will not pay tax on the loan amount unless your Policy is surrendered, lapses or matures and you have not repaid your Policy Debt.   You will be taxed on the amount of the loan that’s considered income, including all previously non-taxed gains.
 
1 The investment in the contract is generally the premiums you have paid plus any taxable distributions less any withdrawals or premiums previously recovered that were taxable.
 
2 Income is the difference between the Accumulated Value and the investment in the contract.
 
All Modified Endowment Contracts issued to you in a calendar year by us or our affiliates are treated as a single contract when we calculate whether a distribution amount is subject to tax.
 
10% penalty tax on Modified Endowment Contracts
If any amount you receive from a Modified Endowment Contract is taxable, you may also have to pay a penalty tax equal to 10% of the taxable amount. A taxpayer will not have to pay the penalty tax if any of the following exceptions apply:
 
•  you are at least 591/2 years old
 
•  you are receiving an amount because you have become disabled
 
•  you are receiving an amount that’s part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments, paid out at least annually. These payments may be made for your life or life expectancy or for the joint lives or joint life expectancies of you and your Beneficiaries.
 
Distributions before a Policy becomes a Modified Endowment Contract
If your Policy fails the seven-pay test and becomes a Modified Endowment Contract, any amount you receive or are deemed to have received during the two years before it became a Modified Endowment Contract may be taxable. The distribution would be treated as having been made in anticipation of the Policy’s failing to meet the seven-pay test under Treasury Department regulations which are yet to be prescribed.
 
Federal Estate Taxes
 
From January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2012, the federal estate tax exemption amount is $5,000,000 (indexed for inflation starting January 1, 2012); the maximum estate tax rate is 35%; and, the rules regarding step-up in basis for property transferred at death are reinstated. Also over the same time period, if the executor of the deceased spouse’s estate so elects, a married individual may transfer his or her unused estate tax exemption amount to the last deceased spouse of the surviving spouse.
 
Policy Riders
 
Accelerated Living Benefits Rider
If you exercise an Accelerated Living Benefit Rider, the amounts received under this Rider should be generally excluded from taxable income under Section 101(g) of the Tax Code.
 
However, benefits under the Rider will be taxed if they are paid to someone other than the Insured, and the Insured:
 
•  is a director, officer or employee of the person receiving the benefit, or
 
•  has a financial interest in a business of the person receiving the benefit.
 
In some cases, there may be a question as to whether a life insurance policy that has an Accelerated Living Benefit Rider can meet technical aspects of the definition of “life insurance contract” under the Tax Code. We may reserve the right, but are not obligated, to modify the Rider to conform under Tax Code requirements.
 
Please consult with your tax adviser if you want to exercise your rights under this Rider.

ABOUT PACIFIC LIFE
 
Pacific Life Insurance Company is a life insurance company domiciled in Nebraska. Along with our subsidiaries and affiliates, our operations include life insurance, annuity, pension and institutional products, broker-dealer operations, and investment and advisory services. At the end of 2010, we had $215.5 billion of individual life insurance in force and total admitted assets of approximately $98.8 billion.
 
We are authorized to conduct our life and annuity business in the District of Columbia and in all states except New York. Our executive office is at 700 Newport Center Drive, Newport Beach, California 92660.
 
How Our Accounts Work
 
We own the assets in our General Account and our Separate Account. We allocate your Net Premiums to these accounts according to the Investment Options you have chosen.
 
General Account
Our General Account includes all of our assets, except for those held in our separate accounts. We guarantee you an interest rate for up to one year on any amount allocated to the Fixed Options. The rate is reset annually. The Fixed Options are part of our General Account, which we may invest as we wish, according to any laws that apply. We will credit the guaranteed rate even if the investments we make earn less. Unlike the Separate Account, the General Account is subject to liabilities arising from any of our other business. Our ability to pay these guarantees is backed by our financial strength and claims paying ability as a company. You must look to the company’s strength with regard to policy guarantees. We can provide you with reports of our ratings as an insurance company and our ability to pay claims with respect to our General Account assets.
 
The Fixed Options are not securities, so they do not fall under any securities act. For this reason, the SEC has not reviewed the disclosure in this prospectus about the Fixed Options. However, other federal securities laws may apply to the accuracy and completeness of the disclosure about the Fixed Options.
 
Separate Account
Amounts allocated to the Variable Investment Options are held in our Separate Account. The assets in this account are kept separate from the assets in our General Account and our other separate accounts, and are protected from our general creditors.
 
The Separate Account is divided into Variable Accounts. Each Variable Account invests in shares of a designated portfolio of the Pacific Select Fund, the BlackRock Variable Series Funds, Inc., the Fidelity Variable Insurance Products Funds (“Fidelity VIP Funds”), the Franklin Templeton Variable Insurance Products Trust, the GE Investments Funds, Inc., the Janus Aspen Series, the Lazard Retirement Series, Inc., the Legg Mason Partners Variable Equity Trust, the Lord Abbett Series Fund, Inc., the MFS Variable Insurance Trust, the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, the Royce Capital Fund, the T. Rowe Price Equity Series, Inc. or the Van Eck VIP Trust. We may add Variable Accounts that invest in other portfolios of these Funds or in other securities.
 
We are the legal owner of the assets in the Separate Account, and pay its operating expenses. We do not hold ourselves out to be trustees of the Separate Account assets. The Separate Account is operated only for our variable life insurance policies. Pacific Life is obligated to pay all amounts promised to Policy Owners under the terms of the Policy. We must keep enough money in the account to pay anticipated obligations under the insurance policies funded by the account, but we can transfer any amount that’s more than these anticipated obligations to our General Account. Some of the money in the Separate Account may include charges we collect from the account and any investment results on those charges.
 
We cannot charge the assets in the Separate Account attributable to our reserves and other liabilities under the policies funded by the Separate Account with any liabilities from our other business.
 
Similarly, the income, gains or losses, realized or unrealized, of the assets of any Variable Account belong to that Variable Account and are credited to or charged against the assets held in that Variable Account without regard to our other income, gains or losses.
 
Making changes to the Separate Account
We can add, change or remove any securities that the Separate Account or any Variable Account holds or buys, as long as we comply with the laws that apply.
 
We can substitute shares of one portfolio with shares of another portfolio or Fund if:
 
•  any portfolio is no longer available for investment; or
 
•  our management believes that a portfolio is no longer appropriate in view of the purposes of the Policy.


60



 

 
We will give you any required notice or receive any required approval from Policy Owners or the SEC before we substitute any shares. We will comply with the filing or other procedures established by insurance regulators as required by law.
 
We can add new Variable Accounts, which may include additional subaccounts of the Separate Account, to serve as Investment Options under the Policies. These may be managed separate accounts or they may invest in a new portfolio of the Funds, or in shares of another investment company or one of its portfolios, or in a suitable investment vehicle with a specified investment objective.
 
We can add new Variable Accounts when we believe that it is warranted by marketing needs or investment conditions. We will decide on what basis we will make new Variable Accounts available to existing Policy Owners.
 
We can also eliminate any of our Variable Accounts if we believe marketing, tax or investment conditions warrant it. We can terminate and liquidate any Variable Account.
 
If we make any changes to Variable Accounts or substitution of securities, we can make appropriate changes to this Policy or any of our other policies, by appropriate endorsement, to reflect the change or substitution.
 
If we believe it is in the best interests of people holding voting rights under the Policies and we meet any required regulatory approvals we can do the following:
 
•  operate the Separate Account as a management investment company, unit investment trust, or any other form permitted under securities or other laws
 
•  register or deregister the Separate Account under securities law
 
•  combine the Separate Account with one of our other separate accounts or our affiliates’ separate accounts
 
•  combine one or more Variable Accounts
 
•  create a committee, board or other group to manage the Separate Account
 
•  change the classification of any Variable Account.
 
Taxes we pay
We may be charged for state and local taxes. Currently, we pay these taxes because they are small amounts with respect to the Policy. If these taxes increase significantly, we may deduct them from the Separate Account.
 
We may charge the Separate Account for any federal, state and local taxes that apply to the Separate Account or to our operations. This could happen if our tax status or the tax treatment of variable life insurance changes.
 
Voting Rights
 
We are the legal owner of the shares of the Funds that are held by the Variable Accounts. We may vote on any matter at shareholder meetings of the Funds. However, we are required by law to vote as you instruct on the shares relating to your allocation in a Variable Investment Option. This is called your voting interest.
 
Your voting interest is calculated as of a day set by the Board of Trustees or Board of Directors of a Fund, called the record date. Your voting interest equals the Accumulated Value in a Variable Investment Option divided by the net asset value of a share of the corresponding portfolio. Fractional shares are included. If allowed by law, we may change how we calculate your voting interest.
 
We will send you documents from the Fund called proxy materials. They include information about the items you will be voting on and forms for you to give us your instructions. We will vote shares held in the Separate Account for which we do not receive voting instructions in the same proportion as all other shares in the portfolio held by the Separate Account for which we have received timely instructions. If we do not receive any voting instructions for the shares in a separate account, we will vote the shares in the same proportion as the total votes for all of our separate accounts for which we have received timely instructions. As a result of proportional voting, the votes cast by a small number of policy owners may determine the outcome of a vote.
 
We will vote shares of any portfolio we hold in our General Account in the same proportion as the total votes for all of our separate accounts, including this Separate Account. We will vote shares of any portfolio held by any of our non-insurance affiliates in the same proportion as the total votes for all of our separate accounts and those of our insurance affiliates.
 
If the law changes to allow it, we can vote as we wish on shares of the portfolios held in the Separate Account.
 
When required by state insurance regulatory authorities, we may disregard voting instructions that:
 
•  would change a portfolio’s investment objective or subclassification
 
•  would approve or disapprove an investment advisory contract.


61



 

We may disregard voting instructions on a change initiated by Policy Owners that would change a portfolio’s investment policy, investment adviser or portfolio manager if:
 
•  our disapproval is reasonable
 
•  we determine in good faith that the change would be against state law or otherwise be inappropriate, considering the portfolio’s objectives and purpose, and considering what effect the change would have on us.
 
If we disregard any voting instructions, we will include a summary of the action we took and our reasons for it in the next report to Policy Owners.
 
Distribution Arrangements
 
Pacific Select Distributors, Inc. (“PSD”), a broker-dealer and our subsidiary, pays various forms of sales compensation to broker-dealers (including other affiliates) that solicit applications for the Policies. PSD also may reimburse other expenses associated with the promotion and solicitation of applications for the Policies.
 
We offer the Policies for sale through broker-dealers that have entered into selling agreements with PSD. Broker-dealers sell the Policies through their insurance professionals who have been appointed by us to sell our products. PSD pays compensation to broker-dealers for the promotion and sale of the Policies. The individual insurance professional who sells you a Policy typically will receive a portion of the compensation, under the representative’s own arrangement with his or her broker-dealer.
 
We may also provide compensation to broker-dealers for providing ongoing service in relation to Policies that have already been purchased.
 
Additional Compensation and Revenue Sharing. To the extent permitted by SEC and FINRA rules and other applicable laws and regulations, selling broker dealers may receive additional payments in the form of cash, other special compensation or reimbursement of expenses, sometimes called “revenue sharing”. These additional compensation or reimbursement arrangements may include, for example, payments in connection with the firm’s “due diligence” examination of the Policies, payments for providing conferences or seminars, sales or training programs for invited insurance professionals and other employees, payments for travel expenses, including lodging, incurred by insurance professionals and other employees for such seminars or training programs, seminars for the public, advertising and sales campaigns regarding the Policies, and payments to assist a firm in connection with its administrative systems, operations and marketing expenses and/or other events or activities sponsored by the firms. Subject to applicable FINRA rules and other applicable laws and regulations, PSD and its affiliates may contribute to, as well as sponsor, various educational programs, sales contests and/or promotions in which participating firms and their sales persons may receive prizes such as merchandise, cash, or other awards. Such additional compensation may give us greater access to insurance professionals of the broker-dealers that receive such compensation or may otherwise influence the way that a broker-dealer and insurance professional market the Policies.
 
These arrangements may not be applicable to all firms, and the terms of such arrangements may differ between firms. We provide additional information on special compensation or reimbursement arrangements involving selling firms and other financial institutions in the Statement of Additional Information, which is available upon request. Any such compensation, which may be significant at times, will not result in any additional direct charge to you by us.
 
The compensation and other benefits provided by PSD or its affiliates, may be more or less than the overall compensation on similar or other products. This may influence your insurance professional or broker-dealer to present this Policy over other investment options available in the marketplace. You may ask your insurance professional about these differing and divergent interests, how he/she is personally compensated and how his/her broker-dealer is compensated for soliciting applications for the Policy.
 
We may agree to reduce or waive some or all of the Policy charges and/or credit additional amounts under our Policies, for a Policy sold to an eligible person. An eligible person meets criteria established by us, and may include current and retired officers, directors and employees of us and our affiliates, trustees of the Pacific Select Fund, trustees of Pacific Funds, and immediate family members of such persons. We will credit additional amounts to Policies owned by eligible persons if such Policies are purchased directly through PSD. Under such circumstances, eligible persons will not be afforded the benefit of services of any other broker/dealer nor will commissions be payable to any broker/dealer in connection with such purchases. Eligible persons must contact us directly with servicing questions, Policy changes and other matters relating to their Policies. The amount credited to Policies owned by eligible persons will equal the reduction in expenses we enjoy by not incurring brokerage commissions in selling such Policies, with the determination of the expense reduction and of such crediting being made in accordance with our administrative procedures. If premiums are paid using the Electronic Funds Transfer plan, these credits will be added to an eligible person’s Policy on the first Policy Anniversary.
 
Portfolio managers of the underlying portfolios available under this Policy may help pay for conferences or meetings sponsored by us or PSD relating to management of the portfolios and our variable life insurance products.

Please refer to the SAI for additional information on distribution arrangements and the conflicts of interest that they may present.
 
Service Arrangements
 
We have entered into administrative and/or service agreements with certain Funds which pay us for administrative and other services, including, but not limited to, certain communications and support services. The fees are based on an annual percentage of average daily net assets of certain Fund portfolios purchased by us at Policy Owner’s instructions. Currently, the fees received do not exceed an annual percentage of 0.40% and each Fund may not pay the same annual percentage. Because we receive such fees, we may be subject to competing interests in making these Funds available as Investment Options under the Policies.
 
BlackRock Distributors, Inc., pays us for each BlackRock Variable Series Funds, Inc. portfolio (Class III) held by our separate accounts. Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC) and Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), pays us for each Fidelity VIP Funds portfolio (Service Class 2) held by our separate accounts. Franklin Templeton Variable Insurance Products Trust pays us for each Templeton Global Bond Securities Fund (Class 2) held by our separate accounts. GE Investments Funds, Inc. pays us for each GE Investments Total Return Fund portfolio (Class 3) held by our separate accounts. Janus Capital Management LLC, pays us for each Janus Aspen Series portfolio (Service Class) held by our separate accounts. Lazard Asset Management Securities LLC, pays us for each Lazard Retirement Series, Inc. portfolio held by our separate accounts. Legg Mason Investor Services, LLC, pays us for each Legg Mason Partners Variable Equity Trust portfolio (Class II) held by our separate accounts. Lord Abbett Series Fund, Inc. pays us for each Fundamental Equity Portfolio (Class VC) held by our separate accounts.

PSD shall pay American Funds Distributors, Inc. at a rate of 0.16% of premiums up to $1.5 billion, 0.14% of premiums on next $1.5 billion and 0.10% of premiums made in excess, attributable to the Master Funds for certain marketing assistance.
 
Illustrations
 
We will provide you with Illustrations based on different sets of assumptions upon your request.
 
•  Illustrations based on information you give us about the Age of the person to be insured by the Policy, their Risk Class, the Face Amount of all Coverage Layers, the Death Benefit and premium payments.
 
•  Illustrations that show the allocation of premium payments to specified Variable Accounts. These will reflect the expenses of the portfolio of the Fund in which the Variable Account invests.
 
•  Illustrations that use a hypothetical gross rate of return up to 12% are available. Illustrations that use a hypothetical gross rate of return greater than 12% are available only to certain large institutional investors.
 
You can request such Illustrations at any time. Such Illustrations reflect assumptions about the Policy’s non-guaranteed elements and about how you will use the Policy’s options. Over time the Policy’s actual non-guaranteed elements, and your actual use of the Policy’s options, are likely to vary from the assumptions used in such Illustrations. For these reasons, actual Policy values will likely be more or less favorable than shown in such Illustrations. You can get one Policy Illustration free of charge per Policy Year. We reserve the right to charge $25 for each additional Illustration.
 
Lost Policy
 
If you lose your Policy, you may request a Certificate of Coverage free of charge. If you require a duplicate Policy, we may charge a fee of $50 per duplicate. To request a Certificate of Coverage or a duplicate Policy, please contact us for a Certificate of Insurance/Duplicate Policy Request Form.
 
Audits of Premiums/loans
 
You may request us to run a report of premium payments you have made or loan transactions under your Policy. If you request us to provide information for a period of more than 2 years from date of request, we may charge you an administrative fee of $25 for this service.
 
Risk Class Change

Supplement dated May 1, 2011 to the Prospectus dated May 1, 2011 for
Pacific Select Exec V Flexible Premium Variable Universal Life Insurance Policy
Issued by Pacific Life Insurance Company
 
 
In this supplement, you and your mean the Policyholder or Owner. Pacific Life, we, us, and our refer to Pacific Life Insurance Company. You’ll find an explanation of what terms used in this supplement mean, as well as a detailed description of the Policy, in the accompanying variable life insurance policy. Except as described below, all features and procedures of each Policy described in its prospectus remain intact.
 
This supplement describes the Indexed Fixed Account, an additional Investment Option under the Policy. Currently, there is one Investment Option in the Indexed Fixed Account (an Indexed Account), the 1 Year Indexed Option. We reserve the right to add additional Indexed Accounts or to cease offering one or more of the Indexed Fixed Accounts at any time. We will notify you of any change at your address on file with us. If you surrender your Policy, you will forfeit any Segment Indexed Interest.
 
We have not registered the Indexed Fixed Account with the SEC. Disclosures regarding the Indexed Fixed Account, however, are subject to certain generally applicable provisions of the federal securities laws relating to the accuracy and completeness of statements made in the prospectus.
 
Pacific Life believes that the Indexed Fixed Account provides sufficient guarantees and elements of insurance to support Pacific Life’s determination that the Indexed Fixed Account currently qualifies for an exemption from registration under the federal securities laws for an insurance policy. However, there is necessarily some uncertainty about the availability of this exemption for any insurance product or feature that does not fit within an SEC safe harbor from registration, Rule 151, and this uncertainty is heightened for an indexed product or feature such as the Indexed Fixed Account. Therefore, there is risk that a court would disagree with Pacific Life’s determination.
 
You may allocate all or part of your Net Premium and your Accumulated Value to the Indexed Fixed Account if certain conditions are met. All such allocations are transferred from the Fixed Account into the Indexed Fixed Account on a Segment Start Date (currently, the 15th of each month).
 
We create a Segment for each allocation to an Indexed Account. Allocations to the Indexed Fixed Account are allocated first to the Fixed Account until the next Segment Start Date. We credit interest two ways to each Segment: One way, is that at the end of a one-year period (the Segment Maturity), we credit interest based in part on any positive change in the S&P 500® Index1, excluding dividends. The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (‘S&P 500’) is an unmanaged index that covers 500 industrial, utility, transportation, and financial companies of the U.S. markets. This positive change, however, is limited by the Growth Cap (as discussed below, the Growth Cap includes the Cumulative Segment Guaranteed Interest Rate). The other way, is that every day we credit interest on Accumulated Value in the Segment based on a minimum interest rate, 1% annually for the 1 Year Indexed Account (the Segment Guaranteed Interest Rate, as shown in the Policy Specifications). Generally, a portion of the total return on investments in the securities that underlie the S&P 500 are investment dividends. However, allocations to the 1-year Indexed Account will not receive the portion of total returns attributable to dividends, so that the index’s performance will be less than that of the securities underlying the S&P 500 Index. We refer to the total interest we credit to a Segment as the Total Interest Credited.
 
The prospectus is amended as described below.
 
I. The Investment Options subsection of the BENEFITS AND RISKS OF PACIFIC SELECT EXEC V – Benefits of your Policy section is amended by adding the following at the end of the first paragraph: You may also invest in the Indexed Fixed Account.
 
II. The Investment Options subsection of the BENEFITS AND RISKS OF PACIFIC SELECT EXEC V – Benefits of your Policy section also is amended by adding the following at the end of the second paragraph: If you allocate your Net Premiums or Accumulated Value to the Indexed Fixed Account, you will not be able to transfer that Indexed Fixed Accumulated Value until the end of a Segment Term. At Segment Maturity you may only reallocate Segment Value to another Segment or to the Fixed Account.
 
III. The Investment Performance subsection of the BENEFITS AND RISKS OF PACIFIC SELECT EXEC V – Risks of your Policy section is amended by adding the following: The value in the Indexed Account is based on the two ways we credit interest to a Segment. Segment Indexed Interest in part is based on any positive change in an external index. There is no guarantee that Segment Indexed Interest will be greater than zero. However, Segment Guaranteed Interest is credited daily to a Segment and is guaranteed.
 
In addition, we assess an asset charge on Indexed Fixed Accumulated Value.

IV. If you allocate all or any of your Net Premiums and/or Accumulated Value to the Indexed Account, there are additional risk factors that you should consider. Therefore, the BENEFITS AND RISKS OF PACIFIC SELECT EXEC V – Risks of your Policy section is amended by adding the following after Tax Consequences of Withdrawals, Surrenders and Loans:
 
•  Indexed Interest Crediting Risk
We credit interest daily to Accumulated Value in the Indexed Account (this is the Segment Guaranteed Interest and currently, is 1% annually for the 1 year Indexed Account). We also credit interest at Segment Maturity to Accumulated Value in the Indexed Account that in part is based on any positive change in the Index (this is the Segment Indexed Interest). If the underlying Index remains level or declines over a prolonged period of time and we have not credited Segment Indexed Interest, you may need to increase your premium payments to prevent the Policy from lapsing.
 
•  Risks that We May Eliminate or Substitute the Index
There is no guarantee that the Index described in this supplement will be available during the entire time you own your Policy. If the Index is discontinued or we are unable to utilize it, we may substitute a successor index of our choosing. If we do so, the performance of the new index would differ from the Index. This, in turn, may affect the Segment Indexed Interest you earn.
 
•  Risk that We May No Longer Offer the Indexed Fixed Account
There is no guarantee that we will offer the Indexed Fixed Account during the entire time you own your Policy. We may discontinue offering the Indexed Fixed Account at any time. If we discontinue the Indexed Fixed Account, you may transfer Indexed Fixed Accumulated Value to any other Investment Options consistent with your Policy’s investment restrictions. If you do not do so, your Indexed Fixed Accumulated Value will be reallocated to the Fixed Account.
 
•  No ownership rights
An allocation to the Indexed Fixed Account is not equivalent to investing in the underlying stocks comprising the Index. You will have no ownership rights in the underlying stocks comprising the Index, such as voting rights, dividend payments, or other distributions. Also, we are not affiliated with the Index or the underlying stocks comprising the Index. Consequently, the Index and the issuers of the underlying stocks comprising the Index have no involvement with the Policy.
 
•  Existing Segments will remain unchanged until their Segment Maturity
You may not make any additional allocations from the Fixed Account into a new Segment.
 
•  At Segment Maturity
Policy Value allocated to the Indexed Account will be reallocated into the Fixed Account and may be reallocated to other available Investment Options or Indexed Accounts.
 
•  Costs of Managing Segment Indexed Interest
We manage our obligation to credit Segment Indexed Interest in part by purchasing call options on the Index and by prospectively adjusting the Growth Cap on Segment Start Dates to reflect changes in the costs of purchasing such call options (the price of call options vary with market conditions). In certain cases, we may reduce the Growth Cap for a future Segment. If we do so, the amount of the Segment Indexed Interest which you may otherwise have received would be reduced. However, we will never reduce the Growth Cap below 3%.
 
•  Change in Growth Cap
We determine the Growth Cap under the Indexed Account. The Growth Cap is currently 11% and we cannot set it lower than the minimum Growth Cap of 3%. We may increase or decrease the Growth Cap for future Segments, but the Growth Cap will never be less than 3%.
 
•  Risk that We May Defer Payment of Surrender Proceeds
We may defer payment of surrender proceeds from the Fixed or Indexed Accounts for up to six months.
 
•  Restrictions on Transfers to other Investment Options
Amounts allocated to Segments of the Indexed Account may not be transferred to any other Investment Option until the end of the Segment Term.
 
•  Effect of Deductions on Indexed Interest
Amounts deducted from the Indexed Account as a result of policy loans, withdrawals, or Monthly Deductions will receive a proportionate Indexed Account credit at the end of the Segment Term, based upon the average Segment monthly balances during the Segment Term.
 
Surrendering Your Policy
 
If you surrender your Policy before Segment Maturity, no Indexed Interest will be credited.



 

V. FEE TABLES is amended by adding the following:
 
The following table describes the fees and expenses that you will pay if you allocate all or a portion of your Policy’s Accumulated Value to the Indexed Fixed Account:
 
             
        AMOUNT DEDUCTED—

VI. We use certain terms to describe the Indexed Fixed Account. To define those terms, TERMS USED IN THIS PROSPECTUS is amended as follows:
 
Accumulated Value – the total amount of your Policy’s Variable Accumulated Value, Fixed Accumulated Value, Indexed Fixed Accumulated Value and the Loan Accumulated Value, on any Business Day.
 
Closing Value – the value of the Index as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange, which is usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. If no closing value is published for a given day, we will use the closing value for the next day for which closing value is published.
 
Cumulative Segment Guaranteed Interest Rate – the Segment Guaranteed Interest Rate compounded annually for the number of years in the Segment Term.
 
Cutoff Date – two Business Days before the Segment Start Date.
 
Designated Amount – the amount you instruct us to allocate to Indexed Fixed Account. We will only transfer the Designated Amount (or such lesser amount if Policy charges have been deducted, or if you have taken a withdrawal or loan) to the Indexed Fixed Account on a Segment Start Date. Any interest earned on the Designated Amount while it is allocated to the Fixed Account will not be transferred to the Indexed Fixed Account on a Segment Start Date.
 
Growth Cap – the maximum total interest rate for a Segment over the Segment Term, as described in the Indexed Account, including both Cumulative Segment Guaranteed Interest Rate and the Segment Indexed Interest Rate.
 
Index – The Standard & Poor’s 500® Composite Stock Price Index, excluding dividends (“S&P 500®”).
 
Indexed Fixed Account – a Policy account, which is held in our General Account. We credit interest on the Indexed Fixed Account, in part, based on any positive change in an Index. There are Investment Options within the Indexed Fixed Account.

Indexed Fixed Account Value – the sum of the Segment Values for all Segments in the Indexed Fixed Account.
 
Indexed Fixed Accumulated Value – the total amount of your Policy’s Accumulated Value allocated to the Indexed Fixed Account. The Indexed Accumulated Value will not include Segment Indexed Interest for any Segments that have not reached Segment Maturity.
 
Index Growth Rate – (b ¸ a) − 1, where:
 
         
a
  =   the Closing Value of the Index as of the day before the beginning of the Segment Term; and
b
  =   the Closing Value of the Index as of the day before the end of the Segment Term.
 
Investment Option – a Variable Investment Option, Fixed Option or Indexed Fixed Account Option.
 
Lockout Period – a 12-month period of time during which you may not make any transfers into the Indexed Fixed Account. A Lockout Period begins any time a deduction is taken from the Indexed Fixed Account as a result of a loan or withdrawal that is not part of a Systematic Distribution Program.
 
Monthly Deduction – an amount that is deducted monthly from your Policy’s Accumulated Value on the Monthly Payment Date until the Monthly Deduction End Date. The Monthly Deduction is the sum of the cost of insurance charge, the administrative charge, the coverage charge, the asset charge and any charge for optional Riders and benefits.
 
Participation Rate – the percentage of the Index Growth Rate used to calculate the Segment Indexed Interest Rate.
 
Segment – a portion of your Accumulated Value in the Indexed Fixed Account. We create a Segment when Accumulated Value is transferred from the Fixed Account to the Indexed Fixed Account.

Segment Indexed Interest – the amount credited to the Segment at Segment Maturity, equal to the Segment Indexed Interest Rate multiplied by the average of all Segment monthly balances over the Segment Term.
 
Segment Indexed Interest Rate – The Index Growth Rate, multiplied by the Participation Rate, subject to the Growth Cap, that exceeds the Cumulative Segment Guaranteed Interest Rate. It is equal to [the lesser of (a × b) and c] − d, but not less than zero where:
 
         
a
  =   Index Growth Rate
b
  =   Participation Rate
c
  =   Growth Cap
d
  =   Cumulative Segment Guaranteed Interest Rate
 
Segment Maturity – the end of the Segment Term and the date we calculate any Segment Indexed Interest and credit it to the Segment.
 
Segment Maturity Value – the value of the Segment at Segment Maturity, including any Segment Indexed Interest.
 
Segment Start Dates – the dates on which transfers into the Indexed Fixed Account may occur, generally the 15th of each month as shown in your Policy Specifications. We use a Segment Start Date to determine Segment months and Segment years.
 
Segment Term – a one-year period beginning on the Segment Start Date and ending on the Segment Maturity date.
 
Segment Value – the amount transferred to the Indexed Fixed Account from the Fixed Account on the Segment Start Date. After the Segment Start Date, the Segment Value equals a + b − c + d where:
 
         
a
  =   the Segment Value as of the previous day;
b
  =   the Segment Guaranteed Interest since the previous day;
c
  =   any Segment Deductions since the previous day; and
d
  =   any Segment Indexed Interest credited only at Segment Maturity.
 
Systematic Distribution Program – a program of periodic distribution that we designate, which includes periodic distribution of the Policy’s Accumulated Value through Policy loans and withdrawals.
 
Total Interest Credited – the sum of Segment Indexed Interest plus Segment Guaranteed Interest that we credit to a Segment.
 
Variable Accumulated Value – the total amount of your Policy’s Accumulated Value allocated to the Variable Accounts.

VIII. Your Free Look Right – Your Free Look Right California insureds age 60 and over subsection of the PACIFIC SELECT EXEC V BASICS section is amended by adding a bullet to the last paragraph:
 
•  the Net Premiums allocated to the Indexed Fixed Account
 
IX. Timing of Payments, Forms and Requests – When we make payments and transfers subsection of the PACIFIC SELECT EXEC V BASICS section is amended as follows:
 
We may delay transfers and payments from the Fixed Options and the Indexed Fixed Account, including the proceeds from withdrawals, surrenders and loans, for up to six months. If we defer payment of surrenders, withdrawals or loans for more than 10 days after we receive your request, we will pay interest at the rate required by the state in which the Policy is delivered, but not less than an annual rate equal to the guaranteed rate payable on the Fixed Options. We’ll pay interest at an annual rate of at least 2.5% on any withdrawals or surrender proceeds from the Fixed Options or the Indexed Fixed Account that we delay for 10 days or more.
 
X. Understanding Policy Expenses and Cash Flow (including fees and charges of Fund portfolios) subsection of PACIFIC SELECT EXEC V BASICS section is amended by adding the following:
 
Indexed Fixed Account
We hold
amounts you
allocate to these
Investment
Options in our
General Account



 

XI. Optional Riders and Benefits – Minimum Earnings Benefit Rider subsection of the POLICY BENEFITS section is amended by adding the following:
 
If you select the Minimum Earnings Benefit Rider, you may not allocate Accumulated Value to the Indexed Account.
 
XII. Optional Riders and Benefits – Things to keep in mind subsection of the POLICY BENEFITS section is amended by adding the following:
 
We offer other variable life insurance policies which provide insurance protection on the life of the Insured. We also offer riders that provide coverage on the Insured. Many life insurance policies and riders have some flexibility in structuring the Face Amount, the Death Benefit, and premium payments in targeting cash values based on your particular needs.
 
Providing coverage on the Insured using Rider Coverage will result in different Policy charges than coverage under the Policy alone. In general, your Policy coverage offers the advantage of lower overall guaranteed charges than the added Riders. If you add a Rider or Riders to your Policy, and if we apply maximum guaranteed charges, you may increase your risk of lapse even if all planned premiums are paid. Adding a Rider or Riders may also affect the amount of premium you can pay on your Policy and still have it qualify as life insurance.
 
Combining a Policy with an Annual Renewable Term Rider may lower costs and may improve Accumulated Value accrual for the same amount of Death Benefit. However, your Policy has guaranteed maximum charges. Adding an Annual Renewable Term Rider will result in guaranteed maximum charges that are higher than for a single Policy with the same Face Amount.
 
Combining a Policy with either the SVER Term Insurance Rider or the SVER Term Insurance Rider-Trust/Executive Benefit may improve Accumulated Value accrual in the early years of your Policy, but could result in either higher or lower charges than under a single Policy. The timing of certain charges for Policies held for certain periods may also be affected.
 
We also offer the ability to have increases in coverage, either by requesting an increase in Face Amount or by using scheduled increases in Policy and/or Rider coverages. Scheduled increases will avoid the need for further medical underwriting, but may require limited financial underwriting, including income and net worth verification, under the Scheduled Increase Rider. A requested increase in coverage can provide for a larger increase, but would be subject to full underwriting and could result in a different Risk Class than that originally underwritten. Policy charges will vary based on the amount and timing of increases, and on whether the increase was scheduled or requested.
 
Ultimately, individual needs and objectives vary, and they may change through time. It is important that you consider your goals and options carefully. You should discuss your insurance needs and financial objectives with your insurance professional before purchasing any life insurance product or purchasing additional insurance benefits. You should also consider a periodic review of your coverage with your insurance professional.
 
XIII. HOW PREMIUMS WORK section is amended as follows:
 
We deduct a premium load from each premium payment, and then allocate your Net Premium to the Investment Options you’ve chosen. However, if you’ve chosen the Indexed Fixed Account, your Net Premium will first be allocated to the Fixed Account and transferred from the Fixed Account to the Indexed Fixed Account on the Segment Start Date. The Accumulated Value transferred from the Fixed Account to the Indexed Fixed Account may be less than the Net Premium or the Accumulated Value you transferred to the Fixed Account because there may have been deductions from the Fixed Account, such as those due to Monthly Deductions, withdrawals or policy loans.
 
There is other information you should know about allocating all or part of a Net Premium to the Indexed Fixed Account. You can only allocate a Net Premium to the Indexed Fixed Account if your Policy is not in a Lockout Period. In addition, you must notify us of your allocation to the Indexed Fixed Account by the Cutoff Date (two business days before a Segment Start Date) of a particular Segment Start Date in order for Accumulated Value to be transferred from the Fixed Account to the Indexed Fixed Account on that Segment Start Date. See YOUR INVESTMENT OPTIONS – Indexed Fixed Account. Otherwise, your Accumulated Value will be transferred to the Indexed Fixed Account on the Segment Start Date.
 
We do not count the allocation from the Fixed Account to the Indexed Fixed Account towards the number of transfers you may make in Policy Year. In addition, we do not count such transfer towards the number of transfers you may make in a Policy Year without a transfer fee.
 
XIV. Monthly Deductions subsection of YOUR POLICY’S ACCUMULATED VALUE section is amended by adding the following:
 
Indexed Account Charge
 
We assess an additional charge every month for amounts in the Indexed Fixed Account. The charge is added to the Monthly Deduction assessed against the Policy’s Accumulated Value. The charge is calculated by multiplying the Indexed Account Charge



 

Rate, as shown in the Fee Tables (guaranteed maximum annual rate of 0.30% (0.025% monthly)), to the value of the Indexed Account as of the Monthly Payment Date.
 
An example
 
For a Policy with $10,000 in the 1 year Indexed Account, the maximum monthly indexed account charge is:
 
($10,000 × 0.025%) = $2.50
 
 
See Indexed Fixed Account – Segment Value Changes.
 
XV. Calculating Your Policy’s Accumulated Value subsection of YOUR POLICY’S ACCUMULATED VALUE section is amended by adding the following:
 
Your Policy’s Accumulated Value is the total amount allocated to the Variable Investment Options, the Fixed Options and the Indexed Fixed Option, plus the amount in the Loan Account.
 
XVI. Transfers subsection of YOUR INVESTMENT OPTIONS section is amended by adding the following:
 
If you request a transfer to the Indexed Fixed Account, we will make the transfer first to the Fixed Account and then to the Indexed Fixed Account on the next Segment Start Date.
 
XVII. YOUR INVESTMENT OPTIONS section is amended by adding the following after the Fixed Options subsection:
 
Amounts allocated to the Fixed Options and the Indexed Fixed Account are held in our General Account.
 
Indexed Account
 
You may also allocate Accumulated Value to the Indexed Account if certain conditions are met. Accumulated Value in the Indexed Account is divided into Segments. Allocations to the 1-year Indexed Account are made first to the Fixed Account and transferred from the Fixed Account to the Indexed Option on the next Segment Start Date. Each Segment represents Accumulated Value transferred from the Fixed Account to the Indexed Account on a Segment Start Date.
 
We credit interest two ways on Accumulated Value in the Indexed Account. We credit interest on each Segment daily with interest at a guaranteed minimum annual rate of 1% (the Segment Guaranteed Interest). In addition, we credit interest at Segment Maturity based in part on any positive change in the S&P 500 (the Segment Indexed Interest). However, Segment Indexed Interest is subject to a Growth Cap, which is the highest percentage that will be credited for a one-year period even if the change in the S&P 500 Index is higher. The current Growth Cap percentage is 11% (the Growth Cap includes the Segment Guaranteed Interest Rate). The Growth Cap is subject to change at our discretion, but the guaranteed Growth Cap percentage cannot be lower than 3%. We will declare any change in the current Growth Cap at the start of a Segment Term; the current Growth Cap will remain in effect for that Segment Term. The guaranteed Participation Rate is 100%.
 
Here’s how it works.
 
•  Segment Creation.  A new Segment is created when there is a transfer to the Indexed Account. The Segment continues until the end of the Segment Term.
 
•  Segment Value Change.  The Segment is credited with the Segment Guaranteed Interest and is reduced by Segment Deductions (discussed below).
 
•  Segment Deductions.  Over the Segment Term, money may be transferred from the Segments for the Policy’s Monthly Deductions, for withdrawals and for policy loans.
 
•  Segment Indexed Interest.  Based in part on any positive change of the Index, additional interest may be credited to the Segment at the end of the Segment Term. It is possible, however, that Segment Indexed Interest will not be greater than zero.
 
•  Segment Maturity.  At the end of a Segment Term, the Segment Maturity Value is transferred to a new Segment or to the Fixed Account, based on your instructions.
 
Important Considerations:
 
•  Net Premiums and Accumulated Value aren’t directly deposited in or allocated to the Indexed Fixed Account. Such amounts are first allocated or transferred to the Fixed Account. On a Segment Start Date, we then transfer such Designated Amounts to the Indexed Fixed Account.
 
•  All Segment Start Dates currently begin on the 15th of a month. Each Segment Start Date has a Cutoff Date. To begin a Segment on a particular Segment Start Date, we must receive your instructions by the Cutoff Date for that Segment Start Date.
 
•  You can only allocate all or a portion of your Net Premiums or transfer Accumulated Value to the Indexed Fixed Account if your Policy is not in a Lockout Period (discussed below). However, during a Lockout Period, you may reallocate Accumulated Value in the Indexed Fixed Account to a new Segment at Segment Maturity.



 

 
•  We assess a charge on Accumulated Value in an Indexed Account.
 
•  We first deduct all Monthly Deductions, loans, and withdrawals from Accumulated Value in the Fixed Accounts and Variable Accounts. We then deduct amounts in excess of Accumulated Value in the Fixed Accounts and Variable Accounts from the Indexed Fixed Account.
 
•  There is no guarantee that Segment Indexed Interest will be greater than zero at Segment Maturity. However, we credit Segment Guaranteed Interest daily to Accumulated Value in an Indexed Account.
 
•  The Total Interest Credited at Segment Maturity will never exceed the Growth Cap.
 
•  You can’t transfer Accumulated Value from an Indexed Account until Segment Maturity.
 
•  At Segment Maturity, we will automatically invest Segment Maturity Value in a new Segment unless you tell us otherwise by a Cutoff Date.
 
•  We may eliminate or substitute the Index if the Index we are currently using is no longer published, if the licensing agreement for a particular Index expires, or if the cost of providing the investment on the Index becomes too high
 
•  Changing the Index will not affect the guarantees for the Index Account
 
•  We will notify you if we replace the Index
 
•  We will select a replacement Index in our sole discretion, based on the availability of the index and our ability to purchase the necessary underlying securities.
 
The way we calculate interest on Accumulated Value allocated to the Indexed Fixed Account is different from the way Accumulated Value allocated to a Variable Account, such as the Equity Index Variable Account, is calculated. The Equity Index Variable Account invests in the Pacific Select Fund Equity Index Portfolio, whose investment strategy is to invest at least 80% of its assets in equity securities of companies that are included in the S&P 500 Index. Accumulated Value allocated to the Equity Index Variable Account is valued daily based on the net asset value of the underlying Equity Index Fund. The Equity Index Variable Account reflects the change in the underlying Equity Index Fund’s net asset value.
 
Conversely, the Indexed Fixed Account is part of Pacific Life’s General Account. Investment of General Account assets is at Pacific Life’s sole discretion, subject to applicable law and regulation. The Segment Indexed Interest credited to Segments of the Indexed Account is based in part on any positive change in the S&P 500 Index (without dividends). It is a one-year point-to-point interest crediting strategy that will credit interest based on the one-year performance of the S&P 500 (without dividends) between two points in time, with an annual floor and Growth Cap, as described above. The Segment Guaranteed Interest credited to Segments is based on a predetermined annual interest rate that does not fluctuate during a Segment Term.
 
Below is an example that shows how we credit interest to a Segment.
 
Assumptions:
     •  A Segment with $10,000 Accumulated Value was created on 12/15/2005.
 
     •  There are no deductions for Policy charges, including the .30% Indexed Account Charge (this assumes all charges are deducted from the Fixed Account and/or the Variable Accounts).
 
     •  The Growth Cap is 11% for all time periods.
 
     •  Accumulated Value is reallocated to a new Segment at Segment Maturity.

Deductions from the Indexed Fixed Account Accumulated Value may be taken for monthly Policy charges, withdrawals or loans. We calculate Segment Indexed Interest based on the average Segment Balance over the course of a Segment Term. This means that a proportionate Segment Indexed Interest will be applied to all amounts that are deducted from the Indexed Account over the Segment Term.
 
Here’s an example of how a deduction from the Policy affects Segment Indexed Interest.
 
     •  We create the Segment on January 15, 2010 with a $1,000 allocation.
 
     •  You have not taken a loan, and we have not deducted Policy charges from the Segment.
 
     •  On July 15, you take a single withdrawal (or Policy loan) of $300 from the Segment.
 
     •  At the end of the Segment Term, the Index Growth Rate and corresponding Segment Indexed Interest Rate are 10%.
 
             
End of Segment Month
    Segment Monthly Balance  
 
             
  2/14/2010       $1,000  
             
  3/14/2010       $1,000  
             
  4/14/2010       $1,000  
             
  5/14/2010       $1,000  
             
  6/14/2010       $1,000  
             
  7/14/2010       $1,000  
             
  8/14/2010       $700  
             
  9/14/2010       $700  
             
  10/14/2010       $700  
             
  11/14/2010       $700  
             
  12/14/2010       $700  
             
  1/14/2015       $700  
 
The average monthly Segment Balance is $850 (6 months × $1,000 + 6 months × $700, divided by 12).
 
The Segment Indexed Interest credited at Segment Maturity is $85 ($850 × 10% = $85.00). Upon Segment Maturity, the final Segment Accumulated Value is $785 (the $700 remaining Segment Balance plus the $85 Segment Indexed Interest).
 
How surrenders affect Segment Indexed Interest.
 
 
1 The performance of the Index reflected in this example is not necessarily an indication or guarantee of how the Index will perform in the future.



 

Using the example above, if you surrender the Policy on 7/15/2010 instead of taking a withdrawal, you will forfeit the Segment Indexed Interest we would otherwise have credited, and the $1,000 Accumulated Value in the Segment is included in the Policy’s Net Cash Surrender Value.
 
Segment Creation:
•  Segments can be funded by:
a. premium payments
b. transfers from the Variable Accounts or the Fixed Accounts
c. reallocated amounts from prior Segments following Segment Maturity.
 
•  A new Segment is created when amounts are transferred from the Fixed Account to the Indexed Account
 
•  Accumulated Value held in the Fixed Account will earn interest at the Fixed Account rate until it is transferred.
 
In order for us to create a Segment on a particular Segment Start Date, we must receive your instructions by the Cutoff Date for that Segment Start Date. It is important to remember the Accumulated Value we transfer from the Fixed Account at the Segment Start Date may be less than your Designated Amount if we deducted Policy charges, or if you took a withdrawal or loan, from the Fixed Account before the Segment Start Date.
 
Once a Segment is created, you may not transfer Accumulated Value out of an Indexed Account to any other Investment Option before the end of the Segment Term.
 
Allocations to the Indexed Account will first be made to the Fixed Account and transferred to the Indexed Account on the next Segment Start Date. The value in the Indexed Account may come from several sources:
 
•  Net Premiums or loan repayments that you have instructed us to transfer to the Indexed Option;
 
•  Transfers you request from the Fixed Account;
 
•  Transfers from the Variable Accounts and Fixed LT Account, which can be made to the Fixed Account under policy Transfer guidelines, and then transferred from the Fixed Account into the Indexed Account.
 
Any persistency credits or loan interest credits earned on Accumulated Value will not be allocated into the Indexed Account.
 
Transfers from the Fixed Account to an Indexed Account may not be made during the Lockout Period.
 
The date of the transfer is called the Segment Start Date. Segment months and Segment years are measured from this date. Each Segment has its own Growth Cap and Participation Rate. The Growth Cap and Participation Rate for a Segment are those in effect on the Segment Start Date. The Growth Cap and Participation Rate in effect as of the Policy Date are shown in the Policy Specifications. We will notify you in the Annual Report or other written notice if they change.
 
Segment Start Dates are the dates when transfers into the Indexed Account may occur, and are shown in your Policy Specifications. We reserve the right to change the Segment Start Dates and to limit transfers into the Indexed Account, but in any event you will be allowed to make transfers at least once per calendar quarter. We will notify you in the Annual Report or other written notice if we change the Segment Start Dates.
 
There are two ways to make transfers to the Indexed Account:
 
•  Payment and Reallocation Instructions;
 
•  Transfers by Written Request
 
Transfers to the Indexed Account will be based on your latest instructions on file with us. There are two types of instructions for transfers to the Indexed Account.
 
1.  Payment Instructions: are your instructions to us to transfer a portion of a Net Premium or Loan Repayment to the Indexed Account. The portion of the Net Premium or Loan repayment that you designated will be deposited into the Fixed Account on the day it is received and will remain there until the next Segment Start Date, assuming we received your instructions by the Cutoff Date for that Segment Start Date. The Fixed Account will earn interest and be assessed Policy charges during this period. On the Segment Start Date, we will transfer the lesser of the amount of Net Premium or Loan Repayment you designated for transfer, or the value of the Fixed Account. If you did not give us instructions by the Cutoff Date or if your Policy is in a Lockout Period, we will not make the transfer to the Indexed Account.
 
An example:
 
We receive and apply a premium payment of $10,000 on January 2, which corresponds to a Net Premium of $9,305 after deduction of a $695 premium load. Based upon your payment instructions, 100% of the Net Premium is applied to the Indexed Fixed Account and the Designated Amount = $9,305.
 
On January 2, the Designated Amount is applied to the Fixed Account and the Fixed Account balance is $9,305. The Policy earns interest and charges are deducted, and on January 15 (the Segment Start Date), the Fixed Account balance is equal to $9,300.



 

On January 15, the Segment Start Date, the Fixed Account balance is $9,300, which is less than the Designated Amount. This amount will be transferred to the Indexed Account and the Fixed Account balance will be zero.
 
Another example:
 
Using the same examples as above, but assuming that the Fixed Account Value is $9,500 on the Segment Start Date:
 
On January 15, the Segment Start Date, the Designated Amount of $9,305 will be transferred to the Indexed Account. The Fixed Account value will be $195.
 
2.  Reallocation Instructions: are your instructions to us to reallocate the Segment Maturity Value to the Indexed Account at the end of a Segment Term or the Fixed Options. If you did not give us instructions, the Segment Maturity Value automatically will be reallocated to the same Indexed Account to create a new Segment. Transfer of the Segment Maturity Value from the Fixed Account to other Investment Options must be made in compliance with your Policy’s transfer restrictions. Transfer restrictions in effect may increase the amount of time required to transfer your Indexed Accumulated Value from the Indexed Account. See Transferring Among Investment Options and Market-timing Restrictions.
 
You may also make transfers to the Indexed Account by Written Request. We must receive your request before the Cutoff Date. When we receive your Written Request, we will make the allocation first to the Fixed Account and then transfer it to the Indexed Account on the next Segment Start Date. If you want to transfer Accumulated Value from other Investment Options into the Indexed Account, your Accumulated Value will first be transferred from the Investment Options to the Fixed Account, according to the Transfer provisions in your Policy, and then transferred from the Fixed Account to the Indexed Account. See Transferring Among Investment Options and Market-timing Restrictions.
 
Any reallocation of Segment Maturity Value from the Indexed Account to the Fixed Options will occur before any other transfer.
 
Segment Value Changes:
We credit interest daily to each Segment from the Segment Date to Segment Maturity at an annual rate equal to the Segment Guaranteed Interest Rate shown in your Policy Specifications.
 
Deductions from your Policy’s Accumulated Value for Monthly Deductions, policy loans and withdrawals are taken first from the Policy’s Fixed Accumulated Value and Variable Accumulated Value. If there is no Fixed Accumulated Value or Variable Accumulated Value, we will take deductions from the Indexed Fixed Accumulated Value. Deductions are made for all Segments within each Indexed Account proportionate to Segment Value For each Segment, deductions are taken first from the Segment monthly balance (defined below under Segment Maturity) and then from the Segment Guaranteed Interest. If a withdrawal or loan is taken from the Policy that results in a deduction from the Indexed Fixed Account, and the withdrawal or loan is not taken pursuant to a Systematic Distribution Program, then a Lockout Period will begin. During the Lockout Period you may not allocate all or a portion of a Net Premium, loan repayments or otherwise transfer Accumulated Value from the Fixed Account into the Indexed Fixed Account. Segment reallocations for any maturing Segment will be made according to your reallocation instructions.
 
Segment Maturity:
We calculate Segment Indexed Interest, if any, and credit it to the Segment at Segment Maturity. We will never credit negative interest to the Indexed Fixed Account. The Segment ends at Segment Maturity and we allocate the Segment Maturity Value to the Investment Options according to your reallocation instructions on file with us. If you have not given us reallocation instructions, we will reallocate the Segment Maturity Value to a new Segment in the Indexed Account. Reallocation to a new Segment will be subject to the Growth Cap and Segment Indexed Interest Rate then in effect. However, if the Segment Maturity Value consists only of the Segment Guaranteed Interest and the Segment Indexed Interest, we will transfer such value into the Fixed Account.
 
The Segment Indexed Interest is the average of all Segment monthly balances over the entire Segment Term multiplied by the Segment Indexed Interest Rate.
 
The Segment monthly balance is, as of the end of any Segment Month, the amount initially transferred to the Segment minus all Segment Deductions, excluding any interest that may have been credited to the Segment. We calculate the Segment monthly balance as of the end of each Segment Month, and average these amounts for determining the Segment Indexed Interest.
 
The Segment Indexed Interest Rate reflects the Index Growth Rate, and is equal to [the lesser of (a x b) and c] − d, such result being not less than zero, where:
a = Index Growth Rate;
b = Participation Rate (guaranteed to be not less than 100%)-%;
c = Growth Cap (currently 11%, but will not be less than 3%); and
d = Cumulative Segment Guaranteed Interest Rate (1%).



 

XVIII. The Transferring Among Investment Options and Market-Timing Restrictions subsection of the YOUR INVESTMENT OPTIONS section is amended as follows:
 
We do not count the transfer from the Fixed Account to an Indexed Account towards the number of transfers you may make in Policy Year. Further, we do not count such transfer towards the number of transfers you may make in a Policy Year without a transfer fee.
 
You may not transfer from an Indexed Account until Segment Maturity. In addition, you may not allocate all or a portion of a Net Premium or Accumulated Value to the Indexed Account if your Policy is in a Lockout Period.
 
Any amounts transferred from the Indexed Account to the Fixed Account or any of the Variable Options at Segment Maturity will be subject to applicable transfer restrictions following the transfer. However, if the request is for a transfer from the Indexed Account to any of the Variable Options, the transfer from the Indexed Account to the Fixed Account required before the transfer to the Variable Options will not be counted against the Fixed Account transfer restrictions.
 
XIX. The Making Withdrawals subsection of the Withdrawals, Surrenders and Loans section is amended as follows:
 
We deduct the withdrawal from the Investment Options that make up your Policy’s Accumulated Value, in proportion to the Accumulated Value you have in each Investment Option. You may choose to have such deductions taken from either the Variable Investment Options or the Fixed Account.
 
XX. The Taking Out a Loan subsection of the Withdrawals, Surrenders and Loans section is amended as follows:
 
To secure the loan, we transfer an amount equal to the amount you are borrowing from your Accumulated Value in the Investment Options to the Loan Account. We will transfer the loan from the Investment Options that make up your Policy’s Accumulated Value, in proportion to the Accumulated Value you have in each Investment Option. You may choose to have such deductions taken from either the Variable Investment Options or the Fixed Account.
 
Taking a loan or make a withdrawal from the Policy that results in a deduction from the Indexed Account, other than a withdrawal or loan pursuant to a Systematic Distribution Program, will cause a Lockout Period to begin. During the Lockout Period, you may not allocate any Net Premium payments, loan repayments or otherwise transfer Accumulated Value from the Fixed Account into the Indexed Account. Reallocations for any maturing Segment will be made according to your reallocation instructions.
 
XXI. The General Account section of ABOUT PACIFIC LIFE is amended as follows:
 
The Fixed Options and the Indexed Fixed Account are part of our General Account, which we may invest as we wish according to any laws that apply.

BENEFITS AND RISKS OF PACIFIC SELECT EXEC V
 
This overview tells you some key things you should know about your Policy. It is designed as a summary only – please read the entire prospectus and your Policy for more detailed information, or contact us or your insurance professional for additional information about your Policy. All of your material rights and obligations are disclosed in this prospectus.
 
The Policy is offered for sale in all jurisdictions where we are authorized to do business and where the Policy is approved by the appropriate insurance department or regulatory authorities. Individual Policy features may not be available in all states or may vary by state. The state in which your Policy is issued governs whether or not certain features, Riders, charges and fees are allowed in your Policy. Any significant variations from the information appearing in this prospectus which are required due to individual state requirements are contained in your Policy, or provided by separate endorsement and outlined in Appendix B. You should refer to your Policy for these state specific features.
 
Benefits of your policy
 Flexibility
 
The Policy is designed to be flexible to meet your specific life insurance needs. Within certain limits, you can:
 
•  choose the timing, amount and frequency of premium payments
 
•  change the Death Benefit Option
 
•  increase or decrease the Policy’s Total Face Amount
 
•  change the Beneficiary
 
•  change your investment selections.
 
 Death Benefit
 
The Death Benefit will always be the greater of the Death Benefit under the Option you choose or the Minimum Death Benefit. The Minimum Death Benefit is the lowest Death Benefit that we must pay to ensure that your Policy qualifies as life insurance.
 
You may choose one of three Death Benefit Options:
 
•  Option A – your Death Benefit will be the Total Face Amount of your Policy.
 
•  Option B – your Death Benefit will be the Total Face Amount of your Policy plus its Accumulated Value.
 
•  Option C – your Death Benefit will be the Total Face Amount of your Policy plus the total premiums you have paid minus any withdrawals or distributions made. However, the Death Benefit will never exceed the Option C Death Benefit Limit shown in the Policy Specifications.
 
You may choose between two ways to calculate the Minimum Death Benefit:
 
•  Cash Value Accumulation Test – generally does not limit the amount of premiums you can pay into your Policy.
 
•  Guideline Premium Test – limits the amount of premiums you can pay on your Policy, and the Minimum Death Benefit will generally be smaller than under the Cash Value Accumulation Test.
 
The test you choose will generally depend on the amount of premiums you want to pay relative to your desired Death Benefit.
 
 Accumulated Value
 
Accumulated Value is the value of your Policy on any Business Day. It is not guaranteed – it depends on the performance of the Investment Options you have chosen, the timing and amount of premium payments you have made, Policy charges, and how much you have borrowed or withdrawn from the Policy.
 
You can access your Accumulated Value in several ways:
 
•  Withdrawals – you can withdraw part of your Policy’s Net Cash Surrender Value.
 
•  Loans – you can take out a loan from us using your Policy’s Accumulated Value as security.


3



 

•  Income benefits – you can use withdrawal or surrender benefits to buy an income benefit that provides a monthly income. In addition, your Policy’s Beneficiary can use Death Benefit proceeds to buy an income benefit.
 
•  Surrender – you can surrender or cash in your Policy for its Net Cash Surrender Value while an Insured is alive.
 
 Investment Options
 
You can choose to allocate your net premiums and Accumulated Value among a selection of Variable Investment Options, each of which invests in a corresponding portfolio of various underlying Funds. The Policy also offers two Fixed Options, both of which provide a guaranteed minimum rate of interest.
 
You can transfer among the Investment Options during the life of your Policy without paying any current income tax. There is currently no charge for transfers.
 
 Tax Benefits
 
Your Beneficiary generally will not have to pay federal income tax on Death Benefit Proceeds. You will also generally not be taxed on any or all of your Policy’s Accumulated Value unless you receive a cash distribution.
 
Risks of your policy
 Long-term Financial Planning
 
This Policy is designed to provide a Death Benefit for family members or others or to help meet other long-term financial objectives. It is not suitable as a short-term savings vehicle. It may not be the right kind of policy if you plan to withdraw money or surrender your Policy for short-term needs. Taking a withdrawal or surrendering your Policy may incur charges. See the Fee Tables and your Policy for charges assessed when withdrawing from or surrendering your Policy.
 
Please discuss your insurance needs and financial objectives with your insurance professional.
 
 Premium Payments
 
Federal tax law puts limits on the premium payments you can make in relation to your Policy’s Death Benefit. We may refuse all or part of a premium payment you make, or remove all or part of a premium from your Policy and return it to you under certain circumstances.
 
 Lapse
 
Your Policy stays In Force as long as you have sufficient Accumulated Value to cover your monthly deductions of Policy charges. Insufficient premium payments, poor investment performance, withdrawals, and unpaid loans or loan interest may cause your Policy to lapse – which means you will no longer have any insurance coverage. There are costs associated with reinstating a lapsed Policy.
 
There is no guarantee that your Policy will not lapse even if you pay your planned periodic premium. You should consider a periodic review of your coverage with your insurance professional.
 
 Investment Performance
 
Each Variable Investment Option invests in a corresponding portfolio of an underlying Fund, as detailed in Your Investment Options. The value of each portfolio fluctuates with the value of the investments it holds. Returns are not guaranteed. You bear the investment risk of any Variable Investment Option you choose.
 
See each Fund’s prospectus for more information on the underlying portfolios and their individual risks.
 
 Withdrawals and Loans
 
Making a withdrawal or taking out a loan may:
 
•  change your Policy’s tax status
 
•  reduce your Policy’s Total Face Amount
 
•  reduce your Policy’s Death Benefit
 
•  reduce the Death Benefit Proceeds paid to your Beneficiary
 
•  make your Policy more susceptible to lapsing.
 
•  limit your access to the Policy’s Accumulated Value
 
Be sure to plan carefully before using these Policy benefits.
 
Your Policy’s withdrawal feature is not available until your first Policy Anniversary.

 General Account
 
Unlike the assets in our Separate Account, the assets in our General Account are subject to liabilities arising from any of our other business. Our ability to pay General Account guarantees is backed by our financial strength and claims paying ability. We may be unable to meet our obligations with regard to the General Account interest guarantee.
 
 Tax Consequences of Withdrawals, Surrenders and Loans
 
You may be subject to income tax if you take any withdrawals or surrender the Policy, or if your Policy lapses and you have not repaid any outstanding Policy Debt.
 
If your Policy is a Modified Endowment Contract, all distributions you receive during the life of the Policy may be subject to tax and a 10% penalty.
 
There are other tax issues to consider when you own a life insurance policy. These are described in more detail in Variable Life Insurance and Your Taxes.

2 Cost of insurance rates apply uniformly to all members of the same Class. The cost of insurance charges shown in the table may not be typical of the charges you will pay. Your Policy Specifications will indicate the guaranteed cost of insurance charge applicable to your Policy, and more detailed information concerning your cost of insurance charges is available on request from your insurance professional or us. Also, before you purchase the Policy, you may request personalized illustrations of your future benefits under the Policy based upon the Insured’s Class, the Death Benefit Option, Face Amount, planned periodic premiums, and any Riders requested. Cost of insurance rates for your Policy will be stated in the Policy Specifications and calculated using the Net Amount At Risk.
 
3 Charges shown for this sample Policy may not be typical of the charges you will pay.
 
4 The Coverage Charge rate is based on the Age and Risk Class of the Insured on the Policy Date or date Rider is effective. It also varies with the Death Benefit Option you choose. Each Coverage Layer will have a corresponding Coverage charge related to the amount of the increase, based on the Age and Risk Class of the Insured at the time of the increase. Ask your insurance professional for information regarding this charge for your Policy. The Coverage Charge for your Policy will be stated in the Policy Specifications.
 
5 In addition to the loan interest charge, the Loan Account Value that is used to secure Policy Debt will be credited interest at a minimum of 2.50%. Interest on the Loan Account and Policy Debt accrues daily. On each policy anniversary, we transfer the excess of the Policy Debt over Loan Account Value from the Investment Options to the Loan Account. If the Loan Account Value is greater than Policy Debt, then such excess is transferred from the Loan Account to the Investment Options.
 
6 Riders are briefly described under The Death Benefit: Optional Riders and more information appears in the SAI. Except for the Childrens Term Rider, Rider charges are based on the Age and Risk Class of the person insured under the Rider on the effective date of the Rider. Ask your insurance professional for information on optional Rider charges for your Policy. The charges for any optional benefit Riders you add to your Policy will be stated in the Policy Specifications.
 
7 Guaranteed Insurability Rider is only available to Insureds age 37 and under at Policy issue.
 
8 The SVER Term Insurance Rider maximum guaranteed Coverage Charge for this sample Policy (assuming Death Benefit Option A or C is used) is $0/month per $1,000 of Coverage Layer in Policy Year 1, $0.35/month per $1,000 of Coverage Layer in Policy Year 2, and $0.53/month per $1,000 of Coverage Layer in Policy Years 3-10. In Policy Year 11 and thereafter, the charge is reduced to $0.35/month per $1,000 of Coverage Layer.
 
9 The SVER Term Insurance Rider – Trust/Executive Benefit maximum guaranteed Coverage Charge for this sample Policy (assuming Death Benefit Option A or C is used) is $0/month per $1,000 of Coverage Layer in Policy Year 1, $0.80/month per $1,000 of Coverage Layer in Policy Year 2, and $1.20/month per $1,000 of Coverage Layer in Policy Years 3-10. In Policy Year 11 and thereafter, the charge is reduced to $0.80/month per $1000 of Coverage Layer.
 
10 The alternate accumulated value is a calculated value reflecting a minimum level of earnings for the Policy. It is based on actual premiums paid less an alternate premium load, actual monthly deductions taken from the Policy’s Accumulated Value, and an alternate accumulated value monthly factor representing an annual interest crediting rate. The alternate accumulated value monthly factor will never be less than 1.00295 (3.6% annually), and the alternate premium load rate will never exceed 25% of premiums paid. The Rider also has a minimum premium requirement to remain in force. Cumulative premium paid by the end of the 9th Policy Year must be equal to or greater than the Rider’s minimum premium requirement, which will never exceed 450% of the guideline level premiums at Policy issue. The alternate accumulated value monthly factor, alternate premium load and minimum premium requirement are shown in the Policy Specifications.
 
11 Plus any Annual Renewable Term Rider – Additional Insured Face Amount.
 
12 The charge to exercise the Overloan Protection II rider is shown as a table in your Policy Specifications. The charge varies by the Insured’s gender, Risk Class and Age at the time the Rider is exercised.

Total annual Fund operating expenses1
 
This table shows the minimum and maximum total annual operating expenses paid by the portfolios that you pay indirectly during the time you own the Policy. This table shows the range (minimum and maximum) of fees and expenses (including management fees, shareholder servicing or distribution (12b-1) fees, and other expenses) charged by any of the portfolios, expressed as an annual percentage of average daily net assets. The amounts are based on expenses paid in the year ended December 31, 2010, adjusted to reflect anticipated changes in fees and expenses, or, for new portfolios, are based on estimates for the current fiscal year.
 
Each Variable Account of the Separate Account purchases shares of the corresponding Fund portfolio at net asset value. The net asset value reflects the investment advisory fees and other expenses that are deducted from the assets of the portfolio. The advisory fees and other expenses are not fixed or specified under the terms of the Policy, and they may vary from year to year. These fees and expenses are described in each Fund’s prospectus.

To help limit Fund expenses, Fund advisers have contractually agreed to reduce investment advisory fees or otherwise reimburse certain portfolios of their respective Funds which may reduce the portfolio’s expenses. The range of expenses in the first row above does not include the effect of any waiver and/or expense reimbursement arrangement. The range of expenses in the second row includes the effect of waiver and/or expense reimbursement arrangements that will remain in effect at least through April 30, 2012.

See each Fund’s prospectus for complete information regarding annual operating expenses of that Fund.

Some funds of funds may have fees higher than other available Investment Options. The fees for the funds of funds Investment Options available under your Policy are in the range of total portfolio operating expenses disclosed above.

Pacific Select Exec V is a flexible premium variable life insurance policy that insures the life of one person and pays Death Benefit Proceeds after that person has died.
 
When you buy a Pacific Select Exec V life insurance Policy, you are entering into a contract with Pacific Life Insurance Company. Your contract with us is made up of your application, your Policy, applications to change or reinstate the Policy, any amendments, Riders or endorsements to your Policy, and Policy Specifications.
 
Issuing the Policy
 
Your insurance professional will assist you in completing your application for the Policy. Your insurance professional’s broker-dealer firm has up to 7 business days to review the application before it is sent to us. When we approve your signed application, we will issue your Policy. If your application does not meet our underwriting and administrative requirements, we can reject it or ask you for more information. Your Policy will be sent to your insurance professional for delivery to you. You will be asked to sign a policy delivery receipt. For Policy delivery status, check with your insurance professional.
 
Our obligations to you under the Policy begin when it is In Force. We consider your Policy In Force when the following requirements are met:
 
•  all necessary contractual and administrative requirements are met, and
 
•  we receive and apply the initial premium to the Policy.
 
If there are any outstanding contractual or administrative requirements that prevent your Policy from being placed In Force, your insurance professional will review them with you no later than when the Policy is delivered. See How Premiums Work: Your initial premium for more information.
 
Your Policy will be In Force until one of the following happens:
 
•  the Insured dies
 
•  the grace period expires and your Policy lapses, or
 
•  you surrender your Policy.
 
If your Policy is not In Force when the Insured dies, we are not obligated to pay the Death Benefit Proceeds to your Beneficiary.
 
Owners, the Insured, and Beneficiaries
 
Owners
You can own a Policy by yourself or with someone else. You need the signatures of all Owners for all Policy transactions.
 
If one of the Joint Owners dies, the surviving Owners will hold all rights under the Policy. If the Owner or the last Joint Owner dies, his or her estate will own the Policy unless you have given us other instructions.
 
You can change the Owner of your Policy by completing a Change of Owner Form. Please contact us or your insurance professional for a Change of Owner Form. Once we receive and record your request, the change will be effective as of the day you signed the Change of Owner Form. You should consult your financial advisor or a lawyer about designating ownership interests.
 
The Insured
This Policy insures the life of one person who is Age 90 or younger at the time you apply for your Policy, and who has given us satisfactory evidence of insurability. The Policy pays Death Benefit Proceeds after the Insured has died.
 
The Insured is assigned an underwriting or insurance Risk Class which we use to calculate cost of insurance and other charges. Most insurance companies use similar risk classification criteria. We normally use the medical or paramedical underwriting method to assign underwriting or insurance Risk Classes, which may require a medical examination. We may, however, use other forms of underwriting if we think it is appropriate.
 
When we use a person’s Age in Policy calculations, we generally use his or her Age as of the nearest Policy Date, and we add one year to this Age on each Policy Anniversary. For example, when we talk about someone “reaching Age 100”, we are referring to the Policy Anniversary closest to that person’s 100th birthday, not to the day when he or she actually turns 100.

Beneficiaries
Here are some things you need to know about naming Beneficiaries:
 
•  You can name one or more primary Beneficiaries who each receive an equal share of the Death Benefit Proceeds unless you tell us otherwise. If one Beneficiary dies, his or her share will pass to the surviving primary Beneficiaries in proportion to the share of the Death Benefit Proceeds they’re entitled to receive, unless you tell us otherwise.
 
•  You can also name a contingent Beneficiary for each primary Beneficiary you name. The contingent Beneficiary will receive the Death Benefit Proceeds if the primary Beneficiary dies.
 
•  You can choose to make your Beneficiary permanent (sometimes called irrevocable). You cannot change a permanent Beneficiary’s rights under the Policy without his or her permission.
 
If no Beneficiary is living when the Death Benefit Proceeds are payable, you, as the Policy Owner, will receive the Death Benefit Proceeds. If you are no longer living, the Death Benefit Proceeds will go to your estate.
 
You can change your Beneficiary at any time while the Insured is alive, and while the Policy is In Force. If you would like to change your Policy’s Beneficiary, please contact us or your insurance professional for a Change of Beneficiary Form. Once we receive and record your request, the change will be effective as of the day you signed the Change of Beneficiary Form.
 
Your Policy Date
 
Your Policy Date
This is usually the later of the day we approve your Policy application or when we receive all administrative requirements needed to issue the Policy. It is also the beginning of your first Policy Year. Your Policy’s monthly, quarterly, semi-annual and annual anniversary dates are based on your Policy Date.
 
The Policy Date is set so that it never falls on the 29th, 30th or 31st of any month.
 
You or your insurance professional may request that multiple applications have the same Policy Date and be placed In Force on a common date. For multilife or employer sponsored cases, please contact your insurance professional for additional details.
 
Backdating your Policy
You can have your Policy backdated up to 6 months, as long as we approve it.
 
Backdating in some cases may lower your cost of insurance rates since these rates are based on the Age of the Insured. Your first premium payment must cover the premium load and monthly charges for the period between the backdated Policy Date and the day your Policy is issued.
 
Re-dating your Policy
Once your Policy is issued, you may request us to re-date your Policy. This means your Policy will have a new Policy Date. Re-dating will only be allowed back to the date money is received on your Policy, and can be the earlier of:
 
•  the date your Policy is delivered to you and you paid initial premium, or
 
•  the date we received the initial premium, if earlier than the delivery date.
 
If your delivery date is the 29th, 30th or 31st of any month, the Policy will be dated the 28th of that month.
 
If the Policy is re-dated, no Policy charges will be deducted for any period during which coverage was not provided under the terms of the Policy and all Policy charges will be calculated from the new Policy Date. There will be no coverage before the new Policy Date.
 
It may be disadvantageous to request that the Policy be re-dated. A new Policy Date may cause an Insured’s Age for insurance purposes to change and the cost of insurance rates to increase. It will also affect events based on time elapsed since Policy Date, such as suicide and contestable clauses and surrender charge periods.
 
We will not re-date Policies that are issued with a temporary insurance premium. Policies with the Policy Date pre-determined under an employer or corporate sponsored plan may not be eligible to re-date.
 
Your Free Look Right
 
Your Policy provides a free look period once the Policy is delivered to you and you sign the Policy delivery receipt. During the free look period, you have the Free Look Right to cancel (or refuse) your Policy and return it to us or your insurance professional for a refund.


14



 

 
There are special rules for the free look period in certain states. You will find a complete description of the free look period that applies to your Policy on the Policy’s cover sheet, or on a notice that accompanied your Policy. Generally, the free look period ends 10 days after you receive your Policy.
 
Some states may have a different free look period if you are replacing another life insurance policy. Please call us or your insurance professional if you have questions about your Free Look Right.
 
The amount of your refund may be more or less than the premium payments you have made, depending on the state where you signed your application. We will always deduct any Policy Debt from the amount we refund to you.
 
If you exercise your Free Look Right, the amount we refund to you depends on the requirements of the state in which your application is signed. One such requirement may be whether your policy is issued as a replacement of existing insurance or not. Your initial Net Premium is first allocated to the Cash Management Variable Account, then once all requirements to place your policy in force have been satisfied, we transfer the Accumulated Value in the Cash Management Account to the Investment Options you have chosen, provided that if we are required to refund your premium if you exercise your Free Look Right, such transfer will be delayed until 15 days after we issue your Policy.
 
If we are not required to refund your premium if you exercise your Free Look Right, the amount we refund to you will be
 
•  any charges or taxes we have deducted from your premiums
 
•  the Net Premiums allocated to the Fixed Options
 
•  the Accumulated Value allocated to the Variable Investment Options
 
•  any monthly charges and fees we have deducted from your Policy’s Accumulated Value in the Variable Investment Options.
 
California insureds age 60 and over
For Policies issued in the state of California, if an Insured is Age 60 or older as of the Policy effective date, the Policy’s free look period is 30 days from date of delivery. During the 30-day free look period, we will hold the Net Premiums in the Cash Management Investment Option. On the day following the end of the 30-day free look period, we will automatically transfer the Accumulated Value in the Cash Management Investment Option to the Investment Options you chose. This automatic transfer to your Investment Option allocation choices is excluded from the transfer limitations described later in this prospectus.
 
If you exercise your Free Look Right during the 30-day free look period, we will refund the premium payments you have made, less any Policy Debt.
 
You may specifically direct that, during the 30-day free look period, all Net Premiums received by us be immediately allocated to the Investment Options according to your most recent allocation instructions. You may do this:
 
•  on your application
 
•  in writing any time prior to the end of the 30-day free look period.
 
If you specifically request your Net Premiums be immediately allocated to the Investment Options, and you exercise your Free Look Right during the 30-day free look period, the amount of your refund may be more or less than the premium payments you have made. Your refund will be calculated as of the day we or your insurance professional receive your request and the Policy. The refund will be:
 
•  any charges or taxes we have deducted from your premiums
 
•  the Net Premiums allocated to the Fixed Options
 
•  the Accumulated Value allocated to the Variable Investment Options
 
•  any monthly charges and fees we have deducted from your Policy’s Accumulated Value in the Variable Investment Options.

When we make payments and transfers
We will normally send the proceeds of withdrawals, loans, surrenders, exchanges and Death Benefit payments, and process transfer requests, within seven days after the effective date of the request in proper form. We may delay payments and transfers, or the calculation of payments and transfers based on the value in the Variable Investment Options under unusual circumstances, for example, if:
 
•  the New York Stock Exchange closes on a day other than a regular holiday or weekend
 
•  trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted
 
•  an emergency exists as determined by the SEC, as a result of which the sale of securities is not practicable, or it is not practicable to determine the value of a Variable Account’s assets, or
 
•  the SEC permits a delay for the protection of policy owners.
 
We may delay transfers and payments from the Fixed Options, including the proceeds from withdrawals, surrenders and loans, for up to six months. We will pay interest at an annual rate of at least 2.5% on any withdrawals or surrender proceeds from the Fixed Options that we delay for 10 days or more.
 
Death Benefit Proceeds paid are subject to the conditions and adjustments defined in other policy provisions, such as General Provisions, Withdrawals, Policy Loans, and Timing of Payments. We will pay interest on the Death Benefit Proceeds from the date of death at a rate not less than the rate payable for funds left on deposit. If payment of Death Benefit Proceeds is delayed more than 31 calendar days after we receive the above requirements needed to pay the claim, we will pay additional interest at a rate of 10% annually beginning with the 31st calendar day. Death Benefit Proceeds are paid as a lump sum unless you choose another payment method, as described in the Income Benefits section.
 
Statements and Reports We Will Send You
 
We send the following statements and reports to policy owners:
 
•  a confirmation for certain financial transactions, usually including premium payments and transfers, loans, loan repayments, withdrawals and surrenders. Monthly deductions and scheduled transactions made under the dollar cost averaging, portfolio rebalancing and first year transfer services are reported on your quarterly Policy statement.
 
•  a quarterly Policy statement. The statement will tell you the Accumulated Value of your Policy by Investment Options, Cash Surrender Value, the amount of the Death Benefit, the Policy’s Face Amount, and any Policy Debt. It will also include a summary of all transactions that have taken place since the last quarterly statement, as well as any other information required by law.
 
•  supplemental schedules of benefits and planned periodic premiums. We will send these to you if you change your Policy’s Face Amount or change any of the Policy’s other benefits.
 
•  financial statements, at least annually or as required by law, of the Separate Account and Pacific Select Fund, that include a listing of securities for each portfolio of the Pacific Select Fund. We will also send you financial statements that we receive from the other Funds.
 
If you identify an error on a confirmation, quarterly or annual statement, you must notify us in writing as soon as possible to ensure proper accounting to your policy. We assume transactions are accurate unless you notify us in writing within 90 days from the date of the transaction confirmation on which the error occurred or if the transaction is first confirmed on the quarterly statement, within 90 days after the quarterly statement date. All transactions are deemed final and may not be changed after the applicable 90 day period. When you write us, include your name, policy number and description of the identified error.
 
Mail will be sent to you at the mailing address you have provided. If mail is returned to us as undeliverable multiple times, we will discontinue mailing to your last known address. We will, however, regularly attempt to locate your new mailing address, and will resume mailing your policy related materials to you upon confirmation of your new address. You can access documents online by visiting www.Pacificlife.com, or receive copies of documents from us upon request.

and for notifying us promptly in the event that your e-mail address changes. You may revoke your consent for electronic delivery at any time, provided that we are properly notified, and we will then start providing you with a paper copy of all required Documents. We will provide you with paper copies at any time upon request. Such a request will not constitute revocation of your consent to receive required Documents electronically.
 
Telephone and Electronic Transactions
 
Unless you elect otherwise your signature on the application authorizes us to accept telephone and electronic instructions for the following transactions:
 
•  transfers between Investment Options
 
•  initiate the dollar cost averaging and portfolio rebalancing service
 
•  change future premium allocation instructions
 
•  initiate Policy loans.
 
If you apply for your Policy in Florida, or, in most states, if you applied for your Policy prior to November 1, 2006, you must elect to authorize us to accept telephone and electronic instructions by completing the appropriate section on your application.
 
If you do not authorize us to accept telephone or electronic instructions on your application, you can later instruct us to accept telephone or electronic instructions as long as you complete and file a Telephone and Electronic Authorization Form with us.
 
Certain insurance professionals are able to give us instructions electronically if authorized by you. You may appoint your insurance professional to give us instructions on your behalf by completing and filing a Telephone and Electronic Authorization Form with us.
 
Here are some things you need to know about telephone and electronic transactions:
 
•  If your Policy is jointly owned, all Joint Owners must sign the telephone and electronic authorization. We will take instructions from any Owner or anyone you appoint.
 
•  We may use any reasonable method to confirm that your telephone or electronic instructions are genuine. For example, we may ask you to provide personal identification or we may record all or part of the telephone conversation. We may refuse any transaction request made by telephone or electronically.
 
We will send you a written confirmation of each telephone and electronic transaction.
 
Sometimes, you may not be able to make loans or transfers by telephone or electronically, for example, if our telephone lines or our website are busy because of unusual market activity or a significant economic or market change, or our telephone lines or the Internet are out of service during severe storms or other emergencies. In these cases, you can send your request to us in writing, or call us the next Business Day or when service has resumed.
 
When you authorize us to accept your telephone and electronic instructions, you agree that:
 
•  we can accept and act upon instructions you or anyone you appoint give us over the telephone or electronically
 
•  neither we, any of our affiliates, the Pacific Select Fund, or any director, trustee, officer, employee or agent of ours or theirs will be liable for any loss, damages, cost or expenses that result from transactions processed because of a request by telephone or submitted electronically that we believe to be genuine, as long as we have followed our own procedures
 
•  you bear the risk of any loss that arises from your right to make loans or transfers over the telephone or electronically.

Understanding Policy Expenses and Cash Flow (including fees and charges of Fund portfolios)    
     
The chart to the right illustrates how cash normally flows through a Policy.

Under a flexible premium life insurance policy, you have the flexibility to choose the amount and frequency of your premium payments. You must, however, pay enough premiums to cover the ongoing cost of Policy benefits.

Investment earnings will increase your Policy’s Accumulated Value, while investment losses will decrease it. The premium payments you will be required to make to keep your Policy In Force will be influenced by the investment results of the Investment Options you choose.

The dark shaded boxes show the fees and expenses you pay directly or indirectly under your Policy.

In some states we will hold your Net Premium payments in the Cash Management Investment Option until the Free Look Transfer Date. Please turn to Your Free Look Right for details.

THE DEATH BENEFIT
 
We will pay Death Benefit Proceeds to your Beneficiary after the Insured dies while the Policy is still In Force. Your Beneficiary generally will not have to pay federal income tax on Death Benefit Proceeds.
 
The Face Amount
 
Your Policy’s initial amount of insurance coverage is its initial Face Amount. We determine the Face Amount based on instructions provided in your application.
 
The minimum Total Face Amount when a Policy is issued is usually $50,000, but we may reduce this in some circumstances. You will find your Policy’s Total Face Amount, which includes any increases or decreases, in the Policy Specifications in your Policy.
 
The Death Benefit
 
This Policy offers three Death Benefit Options, Options A, B, and C. The Death Benefit Option you choose will generally depend on which is more important to you: a larger Death Benefit or building the Accumulated Value of your Policy.
 
This Policy offers two ways to calculate the Minimum Death Benefit: the Cash Value Accumulation Test and the Guideline Premium Test. These are called Death Benefit Qualification Tests. The test you choose will generally depend on the amount of premiums you want to pay.
 
Here are some things you need to know about the Death Benefit:
 
•  You choose your Death Benefit Option and Death Benefit Qualification Test on your Policy application.
 
•  If you do not choose a Death Benefit Option, we will assume you have chosen Option A.
 
•  If you do not choose a Death Benefit Qualification Test, we will assume you have chosen the Guideline Premium Test.
 
•  The Death Benefit will always be the greater of the Death Benefit under the Death Benefit Option you choose or the Minimum Death Benefit, calculated using the Death Benefit Qualification Test you have chosen.
 
•  The Death Benefit will never be lower than the Total Face Amount of your Policy if you have chosen Option A or B. The Death Benefit Proceeds will always be reduced by any Policy Debt.
 
•  We will pay the Death Benefit Proceeds to your Beneficiary when we receive proof of the Insureds death.
 
Choosing Your Death Benefit Option
 
You can choose one of the following three Death Benefit Options for the death benefit on your application.
 
         
Option A – the Face Amount of your Policy.   Option B – the Face Amount of your Policy plus its Accumulated Value.   Option C – the Face Amount of your Policy plus the total premiums you have paid minus any withdrawals or distributions made.
         
(OPTION A GRAPHIC)   (OPTION B GRAPHIC)   (OPTION C GRAPHIC)
    The Death Benefit changes as your Policy’s Accumulated Value changes. The better your Investment Options perform, the larger the Death Benefit will be.   The more premiums you pay and the less you withdraw, the larger the Death Benefit will be.
 
The examples are intended to show how the Death Benefit Options work and are not predictive of investment performance in your Policy.
 
Limits on Option C
 
The following limits apply to Option C:
 
•  To elect Option C, the Insured must be Age 80 or younger at the time the Policy is issued.
 
•  The Death Benefit calculated under Option C will be limited to the amount shown in the Policy Specifications as the “Option C Death Benefit Limit,” an amount which will never exceed four times the Initial Total Face Amount of your Policy on the Policy Date.


20



 

 
Choosing a Death Benefit Qualification Test
 
This Policy offers two Death Benefit Qualification Tests that we use to calculate the Minimum Death Benefit. You choose one of these tests on your application.
 
Your Death Benefit Qualification Test affects the following:
 
•  premium limitations
 
•  amount of Minimum Death Benefit
 
•  monthly cost of insurance charges
 
•  flexibility to reduce Face Amount.
 
Each test determines what the Minimum Death Benefit should be in relation to your Policy’s Accumulated Value. The Death Benefit determined under either test will be at least equal to the amount required for the Policy to qualify as life insurance under the Tax Code.
 
Cash Value Accumulation Test
If you choose the Cash Value Accumulation Test, your Policy’s Minimum Death Benefit will be the greater of:
 
•  the lowest Death Benefit amount that’s needed for the Policy to qualify as life insurance under the Cash Value Accumulation Test in the Tax Code, or
 
•  101% of the Policy’s Accumulated Value.
 
Under this test, a Policy’s Death Benefit must be large enough to ensure that its Cash Surrender Value, as defined in Section 7702 of the Tax Code (and which is based on Accumulated Value, among other things), is never larger than the Net Single Premium that’s needed to fund future benefits under the Policy. The Net Single Premium under your Policy varies according to the Insured’s Age, sex, and Risk Class. It is calculated using an interest rate of at least 4% and the guaranteed mortality charges at the time the Policy is issued. We will use a higher interest rate if we have guaranteed it under your Policy.
 
An example
 
For a Policy that insures a male, Age 45 when the Policy was issued, with a standard nonsmoking Risk Class, in Policy Year 6 the Minimum Death Benefit under the Cash Value Accumulation Test is calculated by multiplying the Accumulated Value by a “Net Single Premium factor” of 3.0230.
 
Guideline Premium Test
Under this test, the Minimum Death Benefit is calculated by multiplying your Policy’s Accumulated Value by a Guideline Premium Death Benefit percentage. The Death Benefit percentage is based on the Age of the Insured, so it varies over time. It is 250% when the Insured is Age 40 or younger, and reduces as the person gets older. You will find a table of Death Benefit percentages in Appendix A and in your Policy.
 
Under the Guideline Premium Test, the total premiums you pay cannot exceed your Policy’s Guideline Premium Limit. Your Policy’s Guideline Premium Limit is the greater of:
 
•  the guideline single premium or
 
•  the sum of the guideline level annual premiums to date.
 
Before you buy a Policy, you can ask us or your insurance professional for a personalized Illustration that shows you the guideline single premium and guideline level annual premiums.
 
If you increase or decrease your coverage, the guideline single or level premiums may be increased or decreased. These changes may be more than proportionate.

Comparing the Death Benefit Qualification Tests
The table below shows a general comparison of how features of your Policy may be affected by your choice of Death Benefit Qualification Test. When choosing between the tests, you should consider:
 
         
    Cash Value
   
    Accumulation Test   Guideline Premium Test
 
         
Premium payments1
  Allows flexibility to pay more premium   Premium payments are limited under the Tax Code
         
Death Benefit
  Generally higher as Policy duration increases   May be higher in early years of Policy
         
Monthly cost of insurance charges
  May be higher, if the Death Benefit is higher   May be lower, except perhaps in early years of Policy
         
Face Amount decreases
  Will not require return of premium or distribution of Accumulated Value   May require return of premium or distribution of Accumulated Value to continue Policy as life insurance
 
 
 
1 We may limit premium payments to prevent your Policy from being classified as a Modified Endowment Contract.
 
Comparing the Death Benefit Options
 
The tables below compare the Death Benefits provided by the Policy’s available Death Benefit Options. The examples are intended only to show differences in Death Benefits and Net Amounts at Risk. Accumulated Value assumptions may not be realistic.
 
These examples show that each Death Benefit Option provides a different level of protection. Keep in mind that cost of insurance charges, which affect your Policy’s Accumulated Value, increase over time. The cost of insurance is charged at a rate based on the Net Amount At Risk. As the Net Amount At Risk increases, your cost of insurance increases. Accumulated Value also varies depending on the performance of the Investment Options in your Policy.
 
The example below is based on the following:
 
•  the Insured is Age 45 at the time the Policy was issued and dies at the beginning of the sixth Policy Year
 
•  Face Amount is $100,000
 
•  Accumulated Value at the date of death is $25,000
 
•  total premium paid into the Policy is $30,000
 
•  the Minimum Death Benefit under the Guideline Premium Test is $46,250 (assuming a Guideline Premium Test factor of 185% × Accumulated Value)
 
•  the Minimum Death Benefit under the Cash Value Accumulation Test is $75,575 (assuming a Net Single Premium factor of $3.0230 of the Accumulated Value).
 
                 
        If you select the Guideline
   
        Premium Test, the Death
   
        Benefit is the larger of these two amounts    
Death
      Death Benefit
      Net Amount At Risk
Benefit
  How it’s

  Minimum
  used for cost of

When We Pay the Death Benefit
 
We calculate the amount of the Death Benefit Proceeds as of the end of the day the Insured dies. If the Insured dies on a day that is not a Business Day, we calculate the Death Benefit Proceeds as of the next Business Day.
 
Your Policy’s Beneficiary must send us proof that the Insured died while the Policy was In Force, along with payment instructions. Your Beneficiary can choose to receive the Death Benefit Proceeds in a lump sum or use it to buy an income benefit. Please see the discussion about income benefits in General Information About Your Policy.
 
Death Benefit Proceeds equal the total of the Death Benefits provided by your Policy and any Riders you have added, minus any Policy Debt, minus any overdue Policy charges.
 
We will pay interest on the Proceeds from the date of death at a rate not less than the rate payable for funds left on deposit (please see the Income Benefits section). If payment of Proceeds is delayed more than 31 calendar days after we receive the above requirements needed to pay the claim, we will pay additional interest at a rate of 10% annually beginning with the 31st calendar day referenced above.
 
It is important that we have a current address for your Beneficiary so that we can pay Death Benefit Proceeds promptly. If we cannot pay the Death Benefit Proceeds to your Beneficiary within five years of the death of the Insured, we will be required to pay them to the state.
 
Changing Your Death Benefit Option
 
You can change your Death Benefit Option while your Policy is In Force. Here’s how it works:
 
•  You can change the Death Benefit Option once in any Policy Year.
 
•  You must send us your Written Request.
 
•  You can change from any Death Benefit Option to Option A or Option B.
 
•  You cannot change from any Death Benefit Option to Option C.
 
•  The change will become effective on the first Monthly Payment Date after we receive your request. If we receive your request on a Monthly Payment Date, we will process it that day.
 
•  The total Face Amount of your Policy will change by the amount needed to make the Death Benefit under the new Death Benefit Option equal the Death Benefit under the old Death Benefit Option just before the change. We will not let you change the Death Benefit Option if doing so means the Face Amount of your Policy will become less than $1,000.
 
•  Changing the Death Benefit Option can also affect the monthly cost of insurance charge since this charge varies with the Net Amount At Risk.


23



 

•  The new Death Benefit Option will be used in all future calculations.
 
We will not change your Death Benefit Option if it means your Policy will be treated as a Modified Endowment Contract, unless you have told us in writing that this would be acceptable to you. Modified Endowment Contracts are discussed in Variable Life Insurance and Your Taxes.
 
Changing the Face Amount
 
You can increase or decrease your Policy’s Face Amount as long as we approve it. If you change the Face Amount, we will send you a supplemental schedule of benefits and premiums. Here’s how it works:
 
•  You can change the Face Amount as long as the Insured is alive.
 
•  You must send us your Written Request while your Policy is In Force.
 
•  Unless you request otherwise, the change will become effective on the first Monthly Payment Date on or after we receive and approve your request.
 
•  The Insured will also need to agree to the change in Face Amount, if you are not the Insured.
 
•  Increasing the Face Amount may increase the Death Benefit, and decreasing the Face Amount may decrease the Death Benefit. The amount the Death Benefit changes will depend, among other things, on the Death Benefit Option you have chosen and whether, and by how much, the Death Benefit is greater than the Face Amount before you make the change.
 
•  Changing the Face Amount can affect the Net Amount At Risk, which affects the cost of insurance charge. An increase in the Face Amount may increase the cost of insurance charge, while a decrease may decrease the charge.
 
•  If your Policy’s Death Benefit is equal to the Minimum Death Benefit, and the Net Amount At Risk is more than three times the Death Benefit on the Policy Date, we may reduce the Death Benefit by requiring you to make a withdrawal from your Policy. If we require you to make a withdrawal, the withdrawal may be taxable. We will not charge you a withdrawal fee for these withdrawals. Please turn to Withdrawals, Surrenders and Loans for information about making withdrawals.
 
•  We can refuse your request to make the Face Amount less than $1,000.00. We can waive this minimum amount in certain situations, such as group or sponsored arrangements.
 
Increasing the Face Amount
Here are some additional things you should know about increasing the Face Amount under the Policy:
 
•  The Insured must be Age 90 or younger at the time of the increase.
 
•  You must give us satisfactory evidence of insurability.
 
•  Each increase you make to the Face Amount must be $25,000 or more.
 
•  We may charge you a fee of up to $100 for each increase. We deduct the fee on the day the increase is effective from all of your Investment Options in proportion to the Accumulated Value you have in each Investment Option.
 
•  Each increase in Face Amount will have an associated cost of insurance rate, coverage charge and surrender charge.
 
•  We reserve the right to limit Face Amount increases to one per Policy Year.
 
Decreasing the Face Amount
Decreasing the total Face Amount may affect your Policy’s tax status. To ensure your Policy continues to qualify as life insurance, we might be required to return:
 
•  part of your premium payments to you if you have chosen the Guideline Premium Test, or
 
•  make distributions from the Accumulated Value, which may be taxable. For more information, please see Variable Life Insurance and Your Taxes.
 
Here are some additional things you should know about decreasing the total Face Amount under the Policy:
 
•  The initial Face Amount and any additional Coverage Layer are eligible for decrease on or after the first anniversary of its effective date.
 
•  We will apply any decrease in the Face Amount to eligible Coverage Layers in the following order:
 
  •  to the most recent eligible increases you made to the Face Amount
 
  •  to the initial Face Amount.
 
•  We do not charge you for a decrease in Face Amount.
 
•  We can refuse your request to decrease the total Face Amount if making the change means:
 
  •  your Policy will no longer qualify as life insurance


24



 

 
  •  the distributions we will be required to make from your Policy’s Accumulated Value will be greater than your Policy’s Net Cash Surrender Value
 
  •  your Policy will become a Modified Endowment Contract and you have not told us in writing that this is acceptable to you.
 
Optional Riders and Benefits
 
There are optional Riders that provide extra benefits, some at additional cost. Not all Riders are available in every state, and some Riders may only be added when you apply for your Policy. Ask your insurance professional for more information about the Riders available with the Policy, or about other kinds of life insurance policies offered.
 
Investment Allocation Requirements
At initial purchase and during the entire time that you own an optional benefit Rider, you must allocate your entire Accumulated Value to the Investment Options we make available for these Riders. You must allocate 100% of your Accumulated Value among the allowable Investment Options.
 
     
Allowable Investment Options    
 
American Funds Asset Allocation
BlackRock Global Allocation V.I. Fund
GE Investments Total Return Fund
Pacific Dynamix-Conservative Growth
Pacific Dynamix-Moderate Growth
Pacific Dynamix-Growth
Portfolio Optimization Conservative
  Portfolio Optimization Moderate-Conservative
Portfolio Optimization Moderate
Portfolio Optimization Growth
PIMCO Global Multi-Asset Portfolio
Fixed Account
Fixed LT Account
 
By adding an optional benefit Rider to your Policy, you agree to the above referenced investment allocation requirements for the entire period that you own a Rider. These requirements may limit the number of Investment Options that are otherwise available to you under your Policy. We reserve the right to add, remove or change allowable Investment Options at any time. We may make such a change due to a fund reorganization, fund substitution, or when we believe a change is necessary to protect our ability to provide the guarantees under these Riders. If such a change is required, we will provide you with reasonable notice (generally 90 calendar days unless we are required to give less notice) prior to the effective date of such change to allow you to reallocate your Accumulated Value to maintain your Rider benefits. If you do not reallocate your Accumulated Value your Rider will terminate.
 
Some broker/dealers may limit their clients from purchasing some optional benefits based on the client’s age or other factors. You should work with your insurance professional to decide whether an optional benefit is appropriate for you.
 
Certain restrictions may apply and are described in the Rider or benefit. We will add any Rider charges to the monthly charge we deduct from your Policy’s Accumulated Value.
 
•  Accelerated Living Benefits Rider
Gives the Policy Owner access to a portion of the Policy’s Death Benefit if the Insured has been diagnosed with a terminal illness resulting in a life expectancy of six months or less (or longer than six months in some states).
 
There may be tax consequences if you exercise your rights under the Accelerated Living Benefits Rider. Please see Variable Life Insurance and Your Taxes for more information.
 
•  Accidental Death Rider
Provides additional insurance coverage in the event of the accidental death of the Insured.
 
•  Annual Renewable Term Rider
Provides annual renewal term insurance on the Insured.
 
•  Annual Renewable Term Rider–Additional Insured
Provides annual renewal term insurance on members of the Insured’s immediate family.
 
•  Children’s Term Rider
Provides term insurance for the children of the Insured.
 
•  Disability Benefit Rider
Provides a monthly addition to the Policy’s Accumulated Value when the Insured has a qualifying disability, until he or she reaches age 65.
 
•  Guaranteed Insurability Rider
Gives the right to buy additional insurance on the life of the Insured on certain specified dates without proof of insurability.


25



 

•  Waiver of Charges Rider

More detailed information about the Accidental Death Rider, Annual Renewable Term Rider, Annual Renewable Term Rider – Additional Insured, Children’s Term Rider, Disability Benefit Rider, Guaranteed Insurability Rider, and Waiver of Charges Rider appears in the SAI. To obtain a copy of the SAI, visit our website at www.Pacificlife.com. Samples of the provisions for the extra optional benefits are available from us upon Written Request.
 
•  Minimum Earnings Benefit Rider
Allows allocation to the Variable Investment Options while providing minimum earnings protection at Rider maturity. The Rider may be purchased at Policy issue for an Insured who is Age 60 or younger. The monthly charge for this Rider will be shown in your Policy Specifications.
 
To be eligible for this Rider, any amounts allocated to the Variable Investment Options must be allocated according to the Investment Allocation Requirements. This means you may not allocate among the Variable Investment Options at your discretion. You may also allocate Accumulated Value to the Fixed Account and/or Fixed LT Account.
 
This Rider provides that your Policy’s Accumulated Value will be equal to the greater of the Policy’s Accumulated Value immediately prior to Rider maturity or the Alternate Accumulated Value.
 
You elect a Rider Maturity Date when you apply for this Rider. Once selected, the Rider Maturity Date may not be changed. The Rider Maturity Date may be set from 10 to 15 years from the date of issue. The length of time before the Rider matures affects the Alternate Accumulated Value Monthly Factor and the Alternate Premium Load, both used in the calculation of the Alternate Accumulated Value and shown in your Policy Specifications. The Alternate Accumulated Value Monthly Factor will never be less than 1.00295. The Alternate Premium Load will never be greater than 25%.
 
The Alternate Accumulated Value is a calculated value reflecting a minimum level of earnings for the Policy. The Alternate Accumulated Value is initially zero and is calculated on each Monthly Payment Date, including the Policy Date. The Alternate Accumulated Value calculated on any Monthly Payment Date is equal to:
 
  •  the Alternate Accumulated Value immediately prior to the calculation,
 
  •  increased by any premiums paid since the prior Monthly Payment Date, less the Alternate Premium Load,
 
  •  reduced by the Policy’s actual monthly deduction on the Monthly Payment Date and any other Policy charges since the prior Monthly Payment Date, and
 
  •  reduced by any withdrawals that have been taken since the prior Monthly Payment Date,
 
  •  with the result multiplied by the Alternate Accumulated Value Monthly Factor.
 
If your Policy’s Alternate Accumulated Value is greater than your Policy’s Accumulated Value and you take a loan or withdrawal, we reserve the right to reduce the Alternate Accumulated Value so that the Alternate Accumulated Value is reduced in the same proportion as the Policy’s Accumulated Value as a result of such loan or withdrawal.
 
An example
 
For a Policy with:
 
  •  An Accumulated Value of $100,000
 
  •  An Alternate Accumulated Value of $120,000
 
If you request a withdrawal of $10,000, the Accumulated Value following the withdrawal will be $90,000 ($100,000 − $10,000), which is a reduction of 10%. We will then reduce the Alternate Accumulated Value to $108,000 ($120,000 − 10% × $120,000 = $120,000 − $12,000 = $108,000).
 
While this Rider is in effect, the Policy will not enter the grace period as long as either the Policy’s Accumulated Value or the Alternate Accumulated Value, each less any Policy Debt, is sufficient to cover the monthly deduction due on a Monthly Payment Date.
 
There is a minimum premium requirement to keep this Rider in effect. The Minimum Premium Requirement to keep this Rider in effect, and the Minimum Premium Date by which premiums paid must equal or exceed the Minimum Premium Requirement, will be shown on your Policy Specifications. The Minimum Premium Requirement will never exceed 450% of your Policy’s guideline level premiums at Policy issue, and must be paid by the end of the ninth Policy Year. If you do not pay enough premium by the Minimum Premium Date to satisfy the Minimum Premium Requirement, we will send you a rider grace period notice stating the amount of additional premium you must pay to keep the Rider in effect and the date, not less than 31 days (61 days if you signed your application in Nebraska or North Carolina) after our mailing of the notice, by which we must receive such additional


26



 

premium. If we have not received the additional premium by that date, this Rider will terminate and no further benefits will be provided by the Rider.
 
On the Rider Maturity Date, we will set the Policy’s Accumulated Value to be equal to the Alternate Accumulated Value, if the latter is larger, and the Rider will terminate unless you elect to renew it. Before the Rider Maturity Date, the Alternate Accumulated Value has no effect on the Policy’s Accumulated Value and provides no minimum earnings. This Rider provides no guarantee of any particular interest rate or dollar amount. The Alternate Accumulated Value may be less than the Policy’s Accumulated Value and may be less than the total premium paid.
 
You may elect to renew the Rider at Rider maturity. If you renew the Rider, you will elect a new Rider Maturity Date based on the options available at the time you renew, and we will send you a supplemental schedule of coverage which will show the specifications for the renewed Rider. The Rider specifications, including the Rider charge and alternate premium load, may differ after renewal of the Rider. To renew this Rider, we must receive your Written Request to renew at least 30 days prior to the Rider Maturity Date.
 
If you renew this Rider, the initial Alternate Accumulated Value will be equal to the Policy’s Accumulated Value after any increase on the prior Rider Maturity Date, multiplied by the result of 1 minus the alternate premium load shown on the supplemental schedule of coverage for the renewed Rider. All provisions of the Rider will continue after renewal, but based on the supplemental schedule of coverage for the renewed Rider.
 
This Rider is effective on the Policy Date unless otherwise stated. It will end upon the earliest of your Written Request, termination of the Policy, if any portion of the Accumulated Value is allocated to an Investment Option other than a Fixed Option or according to the Investment Allocation Requirements for use under this Rider, at the end of the Rider grace period if you have not paid sufficient premium to keep the Rider in effect, or the Rider Maturity Date if you do not elect to renew this Rider. If your Policy lapses and you reinstate the Policy, we will not reinstate the Rider, except if you signed your application in North Carolina.
 
•  Overloan Protection II Rider
 
The Rider After Policy Issue
 
The Rider cannot be exercised during the first 15 Policy Years or before the Insured is Age 75, but there is a minimum premium requirement during the first five Policy Years to keep the Rider in effect prior to exercise. There is no charge for this Rider unless you exercise it. Please see Rider Termination below for termination conditions of the Rider before and after exercise. You may not pay premiums or take withdrawals from your Policy after exercise of the Rider. The Rider may not be exercised after the Policy has entered the grace period.
 
Premium payments, less Policy loans and withdrawals, must equal or exceed the minimum five-year premium. The minimum five-year premium equals 350% of the lesser of your Policy’s guideline level premium or seven-pay premium at issue and is shown in your Policy Specifications. The minimum five-year premium for your Policy will not change. If enough cumulative premium has not been paid during the first five Policy Years to satisfy this requirement, we will send you a notice stating the amount of additional premium that must be paid to keep the Rider in effect. You will have at least 60 days after the mailing of the notice to pay additional premium to keep this Rider in effect. If we have not received the additional premium by that date, this Rider will terminate.
 
The Rider At Exercise
 
The exercise effective date will be the Monthly Payment Date on or next following the date we receive your Written Request to exercise this Rider and all exercise requirements are met. To exercise the Rider, each of the following conditions must be true as of the exercise effective date:
 
  •  The minimum five-year premium requirement was met.
 
  •  The Death Benefit Option is Option A.
 
  •  The Policy must have been In Force for at least 15 years.
 
  •  The Insured’s Age is within the range of Ages shown in the Overloan Protection Rider section of the Policy Specifications. The Rider may not be exercised if the Insured is younger than Age 75 or older than Age 120.
 
  •  There must be sufficient Accumulated Value to cover the rider exercise charge as described below.
 
  •  The Policy Debt is greater than the Face Amount, but less than 99.9% of the Accumulated Value after the charge for this Rider has been deducted from the Accumulated Value.
 
  •  There are no projected forced distributions of Accumulated Value for any Policy Year.
 
  •  The Guideline Premium Limit for the Policy will remain greater than zero at all times prior to Insured’s Age 100.
 
  •  The Policy must not be a Modified Endowment Contract, and exercising this Rider must not cause the Policy to become a Modified Endowment Contract.


27



 

  •  There are no Riders requiring charges after the exercise effective date, other than this Rider and any term insurance Rider on the Insured, and there must not be any change in term insurance Rider Face Amount scheduled to take effect after the exercise effective date. You must terminate any Riders requiring charges and any scheduled changes in term insurance prior to exercise of this Rider.
 
  •  The policy must not be in the grace period.
 
Contact us if you have any questions about your eligibility to exercise this Rider.
 
On the exercise effective date, we:
 
  1.  Transfer any Accumulated Value in the Investment Options into the Fixed LT Account. No transfer charge will be assessed for such transfer, nor will it count against, or be subject to, any transfer limitations that may be in effect.
 
  2.  Deduct the charge for this Rider from your Policy’s Accumulated Value.
 
There is a one-time charge to exercise this Rider. The charge will not exceed the Accumulated Value multiplied by the overloan protection rate shown for the Insured’s Age at exercise in the Policy Specifications, as of the exercise effective date. The charge ranges from 1.12% to 4.52% of the Policy’s Accumulated Value, and is based on the Insured’s gender, Risk Class and Age at the time the Rider is exercised. There is no charge if the Rider is never exercised. After exercise of the Rider, and while it continues in effect, the Policy’s lowest Death Benefit will be the Death Benefit percentage multiplied by the greater of the Accumulated Value or the Policy Debt.
 
An example
 
For a male, non-smoker Insured, Age 85 when the Rider is exercised, the charge will be 2.97% of the Policy’s Accumulated Value on the exercise effective date. If the Policy’s Accumulated Value is $25,000, the charge deducted from the Accumulated Value on the exercise effective date is $742.50. ($25,000 × 2.97% = $742.50).
 
The Rider After Exercise
 
After the exercise effective date and as long as the Rider stays in effect, the Policy will not lapse if the Accumulated Value is insufficient to cover Policy charges, even if the insufficiency is caused by Policy Debt exceeding Accumulated Value.
 
After the exercise of the Rider, the Minimum Death Benefit of the Policy will be the Death Benefit percentage multiplied by the greater of the Accumulated Value or the Policy Debt. Calculation of the Death Benefit, Minimum Death Benefit and Death Benefit Proceeds is described in The Death Benefit.
 
Rider Termination
 
This Rider will terminate on the earliest of the following events:
 
  •  You do not pay enough premium to meet the minimum five-year premium requirement;
 
  •  The Policy terminates;
 
  •  You make a Written Request to terminate this Rider; or
 
  •  If, after the exercise effective date:
 
  •  any premium is paid
 
  •  any withdrawal is taken
 
  •  any loan repayment is made, other than for loan interest due
 
  •  any Policy benefit is changed or added at your request
 
  •  any transfer among the Investment Options is done at your request.
 
If the Rider terminates after the exercise effective date and while the Policy is In Force, any amount by which the Policy Debt exceeds the Accumulated Value is due and payable to us.
 
You should be aware that the tax consequences of this Rider have not been ruled on by the IRS or the courts and it is possible that the IRS could assert that the outstanding loan balance should be treated as a taxable distribution when this Rider is exercised. You should consult a tax adviser as to the tax risks associated with this Rider.
 
•  Short-term No-lapse Guarantee
May keep your Policy and any Riders attached to it In Force, if it would otherwise lapse. The Rider is available at Policy issue for Insureds Age 79 and younger if you choose either Death Benefit Option A or Option B when applying for your Policy. The guaranteed monthly cost of insurance charges will be shown in your Policy Specifications.


28



 

The Short-Term No-Lapse Guarantee Rider is issued with a guarantee period based on the Age of the Insured. The guarantee period will be at least five years, and never more than 20 years. The guarantee period of your Short-Term No-Lapse Guarantee Rider is listed on your Policy Specifications.
 
The No Lapse Premium is an amount used during the guarantee period to determine the No Lapse Credit. The no lapse premium is shown on your Policy Specifications as the Annual No Lapse Premium. The Rider is designed to remain in effect through the guarantee period if you pay at least one twelfth of this amount at the beginning of each Policy month, take no loans or withdrawals, and make no changes, scheduled or unscheduled, to your Policy coverage. However, the Rider may remain in effect even if premium payments are made in different patterns, if you take Policy loans or withdrawals, or there are changes in coverage amounts. Any change in Face Amount or coverage may cause a change in the No Lapse Premium, in which case we will inform you of the new No Lapse Premium.
 
The No Lapse Credit is a value used to determine if the Rider is in effect. It is calculated at the beginning of each Policy month during the guarantee period. The No Lapse Credit as of the Policy Date is equal to the premium paid less one-twelfth of the initial No Lapse Premium. On any other Monthly Payment Date, the No Lapse Credit is equal to:
 
  •  the No Lapse Credit as of the prior Monthly Payment Date multiplied by (1 + i) where i equals 0.327374% if the No Lapse Credit is negative, otherwise it equals the rate shown in the Policy Specifications;
 
  •  plus the premiums received since the prior Monthly Payment Date;
 
  •  less withdrawals taken since the prior Monthly Payment Date; and
 
  •  less one-twelfth of the then current No Lapse Premium.
 
For example, for a Policy with a No Lapse Premium of $838.61, a No Lapse Credit of $1,000.00 on the prior Monthly Payment Date and a monthly interest rate of 0.0% for accumulation of the No Lapse Credit if the No Lapse Credit is positive, where a withdrawal of $500.00 has been taken since the prior Monthly Payment Date and a premium payment of $100.00 was made on the current Monthly Payment Date, the No Lapse Credit on the current Monthly Payment Date will be $530.12.
 
If the No Lapse Credit less Policy Debt is equal to or greater than zero, the Rider is in effect. If the Rider has become ineffective because the No Lapse Credit is less than the Policy Debt, you may reinstate the benefit by paying sufficient premium or by repaying a sufficient portion of the loan balance. The premium payment or loan repayment necessary to reinstate the benefit is equal to the amount that would make the No Lapse Credit equal to the Policy Debt.
 
If your Policy does not have enough Accumulated Value, after subtracting any Policy Debt, to cover your monthly deduction on the Monthly Payment Date, and the Rider is in effect, your Policy will not enter the grace period, and will not lapse. Your Policy and all other Riders attached to your Policy will continue in effect under their terms during the guarantee period as long as the conditions for the Rider to be in effect are met.
 
When your Policy continues under the Rider, monthly deductions for your Policy will be accumulated as the Monthly Deductions Deficit. No interest is charged on this amount. Additional Net Premium, or loan repayment amounts, will first be used to reduce the amount of your Monthly Deductions Deficit. Once the amount of the Monthly Deductions Deficit has been repaid, any additional new Net Premium or loan repayment amounts will be allocated to the Investment Options according to your most recent instructions.
 
If the Policy is continued under the Rider, the Policy has no net Accumulated Value from which to deduct Monthly Deductions. Such uncollected amounts are accumulated without interest and are collectively called the Monthly Deductions Deficit.
 
If your Policy is continued under the Rider at the time the guarantee period ends, you will need to pay sufficient additional premium or make a loan repayment to bring the Monthly Deductions Deficit to zero and cover any future monthly deductions from your Policy, or your Policy will lapse.
 
•  SVER Term Insurance Rider
Provides term insurance on the Insured in combination with the Face Amount of the Policy. You may purchase the Rider at Policy issue. The Rider modifies the Death Benefit of the Policy to include the Face Amount of the Rider, so that the Death Benefit equals the greater of the Death Benefit as calculated under 1) the Death Benefit Option you choose on the Policy plus the Face Amount of the Rider, or 2) the Minimum Death Benefit under the Death Benefit Qualification Test you have chosen.
 
The guaranteed monthly cost of insurance rate and monthly coverage charge will be shown in your Policy Specifications. Our current cost of insurance rates for the Rider are lower than the guaranteed rates.
 
You may request increases or decreases in Face Amount of the Rider. Each increase will be subject to satisfactory evidence of insurability and will have associated cost of insurance and coverage charges. Unless you request otherwise, the increase will become effective on the first Monthly Payment Date on or following the date we receive and approve your request. We may limit increases of Rider Face Amount to one per Policy year. We may deduct an administrative charge not to exceed $100 from your Policy’s


29



 

Accumulated Value on the effective date of any unscheduled increase. Decreases will be effective on the first Monthly Payment Date on or following the date the Written Request is received at our Life Insurance Operations Center. A Face Amount decrease of this Rider will not decrease the Coverage Charge. Decreases will first be applied against the most recent increase, if any, and then against successively earlier increases, if any, and finally against the original SVER Term Insurance Rider Face Amount.
 
The Rider will terminate on the earliest of your Written Request, or on lapse or termination of this Policy.
 
•  SVER Term Insurance Rider – Trust/Executive Benefit
Provides term insurance on the Insured in combination with the Face Amount of the Policy. May also provide higher early cash value. The Rider may be purchased at Policy issue, subject to state availability. Policies must be owned by a corporation, trust or individual (when part of an employer-sponsored arrangement) which meet the annual aggregate premium requirement of $50,000 annually.
 
The charges for this Rider will be shown in the Policy Specifications. The total monthly charge is comprised of three components:
 
  •  the rider coverage charge
 
  •  the rider cost of insurance charge; and
 
  •  the termination credit charge. You will be responsible for the termination credit charge even if the termination credit is reduced to zero.
 
While this Rider is in effect:
 
  1.  The Rider modifies the Death Benefit of the Policy to include the Face Amount of the Rider, so that the Death Benefit as calculated under the Death Benefit Option you choose on the Policy is increased by the Face Amount of the Rider. For purposes of determining the minimum Death Benefit of the Policy, the amount of the termination credit will be added to the Policy’s Accumulated Value before the minimum Death Benefit Under the Death Benefit Qualification Test is calculated.
 
  2.  If you surrender the Policy, we will pay you a termination credit in addition to the Net Cash Surrender Value, unless either of the following is true:
 
  •  the Policy is surrendered in connection with the purchase of a replacement life insurance policy including, but not limited to, a replacement intended to qualify as a tax free exchange under Section 1035 of the Tax Code; or
 
  •  the Owner at the time of Policy surrender is different from the Owner on the Policy application, and the Owner at the time of Policy surrender is a life insurance company.
 
The purpose of the termination credit is to minimize the impact on earnings for corporations or other entities purchasing the Policy.
 
You may request increases or decreases in Face Amount of the Rider. Each increase will be subject to satisfactory evidence of insurability and will have associated Rider coverage charges and Rider cost of insurance charges. Unless you request otherwise, the increase will become effective on the first Monthly Payment Date on or following the date we receive and approve your request. Each increase in Rider Face Amount has its own Rider coverage charge and Rider cost of insurance charge, which will be shown on a supplemental schedule of coverage sent to you at the time of the increase. We may deduct an administrative charge not to exceed $100 from your Policy’s Accumulated Value on the effective date of an increase.
 
Decreases will be effective on the first Monthly Payment Date on or following the date the Written Request is received at our Life Insurance Operations Center. A Face Amount decrease of this Rider will not decrease the Coverage Charge. Decreases will first be applied against the most recent increase, if any, and then against successively earlier increases, if any, and finally against the original SVER Term Insurance Rider – Trust/Executive Benefit Face Amount.
 
There are two components to the termination credit:
 
  1.  an amount added to the Policy’s surrender value to the premiums paid (subject to a maximum disclosed in the Policy Specifications for this Rider), less withdrawals, multiplied by a percentage that varies by policy duration; and
 
  2.  a refund of the rider charge if the premiums paid under the Policy are less than the maximum premium upon which the first component is determined.
 
The termination credit added to your Net Cash Surrender Value if you surrender your Policy is calculated in two parts, and is the sum of the results of the two calculations, except if Termination Credit Part 1 equals zero, then Termination Credit Part 2 will also be zero.
 
Termination Credit Part 1 equals A × B where:
 
         
A
  =   the termination credit percentage; and
B
  =   the termination credit basis.


30



 

Termination Credit Part 2 equals the greater of zero and C × D × (E − (F/G)), where:
 
         
C
  =   the termination credit factor;
D
  =   the lesser of 60 and the number of whole Policy months that have elapsed;
E
  =   the maximum annual termination credit basis;
F
  =   the sum of premiums paid; and
G
  =   1 + the number of whole Policy Years elapsed.
 
The initial termination credit percentage, and the termination credit factor and maximum annual termination credit basis are shown in your Policy Specifications for this Rider. We may reduce the schedule of termination credit percentages, and even reduce such percentages to zero, but not until at least 30 days after we have sent you revised Policy Specifications that show the reduced termination credit percentages. Any such reduced schedule of termination credit percentages will apply uniformly to all members of the same Class.
 
The termination credit basis is the lesser of (a − c) or (b − c), where:
 
         
a
  =   the total amount of premiums paid on the Policy;
b
  =   the maximum annual termination credit basis, multiplied by 1 + the number of whole Policy Years elapsed; and
c
  =   the total amount of any withdrawals you have taken from your Policy’s Accumulated Value.
 
If the Insured dies while the Rider is in effect, the Termination Credit will be added to the Accumulated Value prior to calculating the Death Benefit under the Death Benefit Qualification Test.
 
An example
 
The Policy is at the end of the fifth Policy Year and
             
  (A)   =   5%
  (B)   =   $50,000
  (C)   =   0.25%
  (D)   =   60
  (E)   =   $10,000
  (F)   =   $50,000
  (G)   =   5
 
Termination Credit Part 1 = 5% × 50,000 = $2500
 
Termination Credit Part 2 = 0.25% × 60 months × (10,000 − (50,000/5)) = $0
 
The total of Termination Credit Part 1, or $2,500, and Termination Credit Part 2, or $0, will result in the addition of $2,500 to the Policy’s Net Cash Surrender Value.
 
This Rider will terminate on the earliest of your Written Request or termination of the Policy.
 
Things to keep in mind
We offer other variable life insurance policies which provide insurance protection on the life of one person or the lives of two people. The loads and charges on these policies may be different. Combining a Policy and a Rider, however, may be more economical than adding another Policy. It may also be more economical to provide an amount of insurance coverage through a Policy alone. Many life insurance policies have some flexibility in structuring the Face Amount, the Death Benefit, and premium payments in targeting the cash values based on your particular needs.
 
In general, your Policy coverage offers the advantage of lower overall guaranteed charges than the added Riders. If you add a Rider or Riders to your Policy, and if we apply maximum guaranteed charges, you may increase your risk of lapse even if all planned premiums are paid. Adding a Rider or Riders may also affect the amount of premium you can pay on your Policy and still have it qualify as life insurance.
 
Combining a Policy with an Annual Renewable Term Rider may lower costs and may improve Accumulated Value accrual for the same amount of Death Benefit. However, your Policy has guaranteed maximum charges. Adding an Annual Renewable Term Rider will result in guaranteed maximum charges that are higher than for a single Policy with the same Face Amount.
 
Combining a Policy with either the SVER Term Insurance Rider or the SVER Term Insurance Rider-Trust/Executive Benefit may improve Accumulated Value accrual in the early years of your Policy, but could result in either higher or lower charges than under a single Policy. The timing of certain charges for Policies held for certain periods may also be affected.
 
Ultimately, individual needs and objectives vary, and they may change through time. It is important that you consider your goals and options carefully. You should discuss your insurance needs and financial objectives with your insurance professional before purchasing any life insurance product or purchasing additional insurance benefits. You should also consider a periodic review of your coverage with your insurance professional.

HOW PREMIUMS WORK
 
Your Policy gives you the flexibility to choose the amount and frequency of your premium payments within certain limits. Each premium payment must be at least $50.
 
The amount, frequency, and period of time over which you make premium payments may affect whether your Policy will be classified as a Modified Endowment Contract, or no longer qualifies as life insurance for tax purposes. See Variable Life Insurance and Your Taxes for more information.
 
We deduct a premium load from each premium payment, and then allocate your Net Premium to the Investment Options you have chosen. Depending on the performance of your Investment Options, and on how many withdrawals, loans or other Policy features you have taken advantage of, you may need to make additional premium payments to cover monthly deductions for Policy charges to keep your Policy In Force. We reserve the right to accept premium payments in amounts less than $50.
 
Your Initial Premium
 
We apply your first premium payment to the Policy on the later of the day we receive it or the day we receive all contractual and administrative requirements necessary for your Policy to be In Force. See How Premiums Work: Allocating Your Premiums for more information on when your first Net Premium is allocated to the Investment Options.
 
If you have outstanding contractual and administrative requirements, your insurance professional will notify you of a delivery date when any outstanding requirements are due to us, not to exceed 45 days from the date we issue your Policy. If we do not receive your first premium payment and all contractual and administrative requirements on or before the delivery date, we can cancel the Policy and refund any premium payment you have made. We may extend the delivery date in some cases.
 
Planned Periodic Premium Payments
 
You can schedule the amount and frequency of your premium payments. We refer to scheduled premium payments as your planned periodic premium. Here’s how it works:
 
•  On your application, you chose a fixed amount of at least $50 for each premium payment.
 
•  You indicate whether you want to make premium payments annually, semi-annually, or quarterly. You can also choose monthly payments using our monthly Electronic Funds Transfer Plan, which is described below.
 
•  We send you a notice to remind you of your scheduled premium payment (except for monthly Electronic Funds Transfer Plan payments, which are paid automatically). If you own more than one Policy, you can request us to send one notice – called a listbill – that reminds you of your payments for all of your Policies. You can choose to receive the listbill every month.
 
•  If you have any Policy Debt, we will treat any payment you make during the life of your Policy as a loan repayment, not as a premium payment, unless you tell us otherwise in writing. When a payment, or any portion of it, exceeds your Policy Debt, we will treat it as a premium payment.
 
You do not have to make the premium payments you have scheduled. However, not making a premium payment may have an impact on any financial objectives you may have set for your Policy’s Accumulated Value and Death Benefit, and could cause your Policy to lapse. Even if you pay all your premiums when they’re scheduled, your Policy could lapse if the Accumulated Value, less any Policy Debt, is not enough to pay your monthly charges. Turn to Your Policy’s Accumulated Value for more information.
 
Paying Your Premium
 
Premium payments must be made in a form acceptable to us before we can process it. You may pay your premium:
 
•  by personal check, drawn on a U.S. bank
 
•  by cashier’s check, if it originates in a U.S. bank
 
•  by money order in a single denomination of more than $10,000, if it originates in a U.S. bank
 
•  by third party payments, when there is a clear relationship between the payor (individual, corporation, trust, etc.) and the Insured and/or Owner
 
•  by temporary check with the ABA routing number and account number pre-printed on the check
 
•  wire transfers that originate in U.S. banks.
 
We will not accept premium payments in the following forms:
 
•  cash


32



 

•  credit card or check drawn against a credit card account
 
•  traveler’s checks
 
•  cashier’s check or money order drawn on a non-U.S. bank, even if the payment may be effected through a U.S. bank
 
•  money order in a single denomination of $10,000 or less
 
•  third party payments, if there is not a clear relationship between the payor (individual, corporation, trust, etc.) and the Insured and/or Owner
 
•  wires that originate from foreign bank accounts.
 
If you want to pay a premium that increases the Net Amount At Risk, you will need to provide us with satisfactory evidence of insurability before we can increase the Death Benefit. In this event, your cost of insurance charges will also increase. Cost of insurance charges are based, among other things, upon your Policy’s Net Amount At Risk. See Your Accumulated Value for more information on how cost of insurance charges are calculated.
 
All unacceptable forms of premium payments will be returned to the payor along with a letter of explanation. We reserve the right to reject or accept any form of payment. If you make premium payments or loan repayments by Electronic Funds Transfer or by check other than a cashier’s check, your payment of any withdrawal proceeds and any refund during the free look period may be delayed until we receive confirmation in our administrative office that your payment has cleared.
 
Monthly Electronic Funds Transfer Plan
Once you have made your first premium payment, you can make monthly premium payments using our Electronic Funds Transfer Plan. Here’s how it works:
 
•  You authorize us to withdraw a specified amount from your checking account, savings account or money market account each month.
 
•  You can choose any day between the 4th and 28th of the month.
 
•  If you do not specify a day for us to make the withdrawal, we will withdraw the premium payment on your Policy’s monthly anniversary. If your Policy’s monthly anniversary falls on the 1st, 2nd or 3rd of the month, we will withdraw the payment on the 4th of each month.
 
•  If you make monthly payments by the Electronic Funds Transfer Plan, we will apply the payments as premium payments unless we receive a new form requesting that payments be applied as a loan repayment.
 
Deductions From Your Premiums
 
We deduct a maximum premium load of 6.95% from each premium payment you make.
 
This charge helps pay for the cost of distributing our Policies, and is also used to pay state and local premium taxes, any other taxes that may be imposed, and to compensate us for certain costs or lost investment opportunities resulting from our amortization and delayed recognition of certain policy acquisition expenses for federal income tax purposes. These consequences are referred to as the deferred acquisition cost (“DAC tax”).
 
Like other Policy charges, we may profit from the premium load and may use these profits for any lawful purpose, such as the payment of distribution and administrative expenses. We will notify you in advance if we change our current load rate.
 
Limits on the Premium Payments You Can Make
 
We will not accept premium payments after your Policy’s Monthly Deduction End Date.
 
Federal tax law puts limits on the amount of premium payments you can make in relation to your Policy’s Death Benefit. These limits apply in the following situations:
 
•  If you have chosen the Guideline Premium Test as your Death Benefit Qualification Test and accepting the premium means your Policy will no longer qualify as life insurance for federal income tax purposes.
 
•  If applying the premium in that Policy Year means your Policy will become a Modified Endowment Contract. You may direct us to accept premium payments or other instructions that will cause your Policy to be treated as a Modified Endowment Contract by signing a Modified Endowment Contract Election Form. You will find a detailed discussion of Modified Endowment Contracts in Variable Life Insurance and Your Taxes. You should speak to a qualified tax adviser for complete information regarding Modified Endowment Contracts.
 
•  If applying the premium payment to your Policy will increase the Net Amount At Risk. This will happen if your Policy’s Death Benefit is equal to the Minimum Death Benefit or would be equal to it once we applied your premium payment.
 
You will find more detailed information regarding these situations in the SAI.


33



 

 
Allocating Your Premiums
 
We generally allocate your Net Premiums to the Investment Options you have chosen on your application on the day we receive them. Please turn to Your Investment Options for more information about the Investment Options.
 
When we allocate your first premium depends on the state and replacement status. For policies that require us to return the premiums you have paid if you exercise your Free Look Right, we will hold your Net Premiums in the Cash Management Investment Option until 15 days after issue, and then transfer them to the Investment Options you have chosen.
 
If you signed your application in a state that requires refunds to be based on Accumulated Value if you exercise your Free Look Right, we allocate Net Premiums to the Investment Options you have chosen on the day we receive them or your Policy Date, if later. If your Policy has outstanding contractual and/or administrative requirements necessary before it can be placed In Force, we will allocate any Net Premiums received to the Cash Management Variable Account until the requirements are satisfied and your Policy is placed In Force.


34



 

 
YOUR POLICY’S ACCUMULATED VALUE
 
Accumulated Value is the value of your Policy on any Business Day. It is used as the basis for determining Policy benefits and charges.
 
We use it to calculate how much money is available to you for loans and withdrawals, and how much you will receive if you surrender your Policy. It also affects the amount of the Death Benefit if you choose a Death Benefit Option that’s calculated using Accumulated Value.
 
The Accumulated Value of your Policy is not guaranteed – it depends on the performance of the Investment Options you have chosen, the premium payments you have made, Policy charges and how much you have borrowed or withdrawn from the Policy.
 
Calculating Your Policy’s Accumulated Value
 
Your Policy’s Accumulated Value is the total amount allocated to the Variable Investment Options and the Fixed Options, plus the amount in the Loan Account. Please see Withdrawals, Surrenders and Loans: Taking Out a Loan for information about loans and the Loan Account.
 
We determine the value allocated to the Variable Investment Options on any Business Day by multiplying the number of accumulation units for each Variable Investment Option credited to your Policy on that day, by the Variable Investment Option’s unit value at the end of that day. The process we use to calculate unit values for the Variable Investment Options is described in Your Investment Options.
 
Persistency Credit
 
Your Policy may be eligible for a persistency credit. Here’s how it works:
 
Beginning on your 6th Policy Anniversary and on each Policy Anniversary thereafter, we may credit your Policy with a persistency credit of 0.20% on an annual basis. We calculate the persistency credit amount on your Policy’s average Accumulated Value less any Policy Debt on each Monthly Payment Date during the preceding Policy Year. We add it proportionately to your Fixed and Variable Options according to your most recent allocation instructions.
 
Beginning on your 16th Policy Anniversary, we may increase your annual persistency credit to 0.35%.
 
Beginning on your 21st Policy Anniversary, we may increase your annual persistency credit to 0.50%.
 
Your Policy’s persistency credit is not guaranteed, and we may discontinue the program at any time.
 
Monthly Deductions
 
We deduct a monthly charge from your Policy’s Accumulated Value. If there is not enough Accumulated Value to pay the monthly charge, your Policy could lapse. The performance of the Investment Options you choose, not making planned premium payments, or taking out a withdrawal or a loan all affect the Accumulated Value of your Policy. You will find a discussion about when your Policy might lapse, and what you can do to reinstate it, later in this section.
 
We deduct the monthly charge from the Investment Options that make up your Policy’s Accumulated Value, in proportion to the Accumulated Value you have in each investment Option. You may choose to have such deductions taken from either the Variable Investment Options or the Fixed Account. This charge is made up of five charges:
 
•  cost of insurance
 
•  administrative charge
 
•  coverage charge
 
•  asset charge
 
•  charges for optional Riders.
 
Cost of insurance
This charge is for providing you with life insurance protection. Like other Policy charges, we may profit from the cost of insurance charge and may use these profits for any lawful purpose such as the payment of distribution and administrative expenses.


35



 

We deduct a cost of insurance charge based on the cost of insurance rate and Net Amount At Risk for each Coverage Layer.
 
There are maximum or guaranteed cost of insurance rates associated with your Policy. These rates are shown in your Policy Specifications.
 
The guaranteed rates include the insurance risks associated with insuring one person. They are calculated using 2001 Commissioners Standard Ordinary Mortality Tables. The cost of insurance rates take into consideration the Age and gender of the Insured unless unisex rates are required. Gender blended tables are used for unisex cost of insurance rates. Unisex rates are used in the state of Montana. They are also used when a Policy is owned by an employer in connection with employment-related or benefit programs.
 
Our current cost of insurance rates will apply uniformly to all members of the same Class. Any changes in the cost of insurance rates will apply uniformly to all members of the same Class. These rates generally increase as the Insured’s Age increases, and they vary with the number of years the Policy has been In Force. Our current rates do not and will not exceed the guaranteed rates in the future.
 
How we calculate cost of insurance
 
We calculate cost of insurance by multiplying the current cost of insurance rate by a Net Amount At Risk at the beginning of each Policy month.
 
The Net Amount At Risk used in the cost of insurance calculation is the difference between a discounted Death Benefit that would be payable if the Insured died and the Accumulated Value of your Policy at the beginning of the Policy month before the monthly charge is due.
 
First, we calculate the total Net Amount At Risk for your Policy in two steps:
 
  •  Step 1: we divide the Death Benefit that would be payable at the beginning of the Policy month by 1.0020598.
 
  •  Step 2: we subtract your Policy’s Accumulated Value at the beginning of the Policy month from the amount we calculated in Step 1.
 
Next, we allocate the Net Amount At Risk in proportion to the Face Amount of all Coverage Layers, and each increase that’s In Force as of your Monthly Payment Date.
 
We then multiply the amount of each allocated Net Amount At Risk by the cost of insurance rate for each Coverage Layer. The sum of these amounts is your cost of insurance charge.
 
Premiums, Net Premiums, Policy fees and charges, withdrawals, investment performance and fees and expenses of the underlying portfolios may affect your Net Amount At Risk, depending on the Death Benefit Option you choose or if your Death Benefit under the Policy is the Minimum Death Benefit.
 
 
Choosing a guaranteed period
When the Policy is issued, we will guarantee our current cost of insurance rates for five years for Insureds Age 85 and younger, and two years for Insureds Age 86 and older. If the Insured is Age 65 or younger and in our standard Risk Class when the Policy is issued, you have the option to extend the guaranteed period to ten years. You can only do this when the Policy is issued and you cannot change the guaranteed period later. The same guarantee period applies to the Surrender Value Enhancement Riders. There is no guaranteed period for Annual Renewable Term Rider Coverage.
 
If you increase the Face Amount, the cost of insurance rates associated with the increase will have the same guaranteed period that you chose when the Policy was issued. This will be effective on the day of the increase. However, if the Insured is between Ages 65 and 86, or no longer qualifies for our standard Risk Class on the day of the increase, you will receive the five-year guaranteed period. For Insureds Age 86 and older on the day of the increase, you will receive the two-year guaranteed period.
 
The guaranteed period you choose may affect the Accumulated Value and the initial Face Amount of your Policy, as well as the amount of premium you can pay. The five-year guaranteed period will provide for higher guideline premium and seven-pay premium limits which, if paid, provide the potential to accrue a larger Accumulated Value. The ten-year guarantee period will have lower premium limits, but will provide you with improved guarantees on your cost of insurance rates. You should discuss your insurance needs and financial objectives with your insurance professional to help you determine which guaranteed period works best for you.
 
There is no charge for extending the guaranteed period to ten years.
 
Administrative charge
We deduct a charge not to exceed $7.50 a month to help cover the costs of administering and maintaining our Policies. We guarantee that this charge will not increase. The administrative charge is $0 on and after the Monthly Deduction End Date.
 
Coverage charge
We deduct a Coverage charge every month to help cover the costs of distributing our Policies. Like other Policy charges, we may profit from the Coverage charge and may use these profits for any lawful purpose, such as the payment of administrative costs.


36



 

Each Coverage Layer on the Insured in the Policy has its own coverage charge. The amount deducted monthly is the sum of the coverage charges calculated for each Policy Coverage Layer in effect.
 
The coverage charge for your Policy at issue is calculated at a rate that is based on the Insured’s Age and Risk Class on the Policy Date and the Death Benefit Option you elect times the initial Face Amount of your Policy.
 
Additional Policy Coverage Layers will have a coverage charge calculated based on the same criteria, all as of the effective date of the Policy Coverage Layer. We will specify the charge in a supplemental schedule of benefits at the time the new Policy Coverage Layer goes into effect. We will apply the charge for each Policy Coverage Layer from the day that Policy Coverage Layer goes into effect. If you decrease your Policy’s Face Amount, the coverage charge will remain the same.
 
The coverage charge per $1,000 for each Policy Coverage Layer will remain level for 10 Policy Years from effective date, then is reduced in Policy Year 11 and thereafter. We may charge less than our guaranteed rate. The guaranteed coverage charges for your Policy will be shown in your Policy Specifications.
 
An example
 
For a Policy that insures a male non-smoker who is Age 45 when the Policy is issued, and has a Policy Face Amount of $350,000:
 
The guaranteed monthly coverage charge:
 
•  Under Death Benefit Option A or Option C, is $142.45 during the first 10 Policy Years (($350,000 ¸ 1,000) × 0.407); and $85.40 in Policy Year 11 and thereafter (($350,000 ¸ 1,000) × 0.244)
 
•  Under Death Benefit Option B, is $364.70 during the first 10 Policy Years (($350,000 ¸ 1,000) × 1.042); and $218.75 in Policy Year 11 and thereafter (($350,000 ¸ 1,000) × 0.625)
 
The coverage charge is $0 on and after the Monthly Deduction End Date.
 
Asset Charge
We deduct an asset charge every month at a guaranteed maximum annual rate of 0.45% annually (0.0375% monthly) on the first $25,000 of your Policy’s Accumulated Value in the Investment Options plus an annual rate of 0.05% (0.0042% monthly) of the Accumulated Value in the Investment Options that exceeds $25,000.
 
For purposes of this charge, the amount of Accumulated Value is calculated on the Monthly Payment Date before we deduct the monthly charge, but after we deduct any Policy Debt, withdrawals or loans, or allocate any new Net Premium.
 
An example
 
For a Policy with Accumulated Value of $30,000 in the Investment Options, the maximum monthly asset charge is:
 
(($25,000 × 0.0375%) + ($5,000 × 0.0042%) = $9.38 + $0.21) = $9.59
 
The annual rate for the asset charge is 0% on and after the Monthly Deduction End Date.
 
Charges for optional riders
If you add any Riders to your Policy, we add any charges for them to your monthly charge.
 
Lapsing and Reinstatement
 
There is no guarantee that your Policy will not lapse even if you pay your planned periodic premium. Your Policy will lapse if there is not enough Accumulated Value, after subtracting any Policy Debt, to cover the monthly charge on the day we make the deduction. Your Policy’s Accumulated Value is affected by the following:
 
•  loans or withdrawals you make from your Policy
 
•  not making planned premium payments
 
•  the performance of your Investment Options
 
•  charges under the Policy.
 
If there is not enough Accumulated Value to pay the total monthly charge, we deduct the amount that’s available and send you, and anyone you have assigned your Policy to, a notice telling you the amount to pay to keep your Policy In Force. The minimum amount you must pay to keep your Policy In Force is equal to three times the monthly charge that was due on the Monthly Payment Date when there was not enough Accumulated Value to pay the charge, plus premium load. For more information regarding payment due to keep your Policy In Force, please contact our life insurance operations center.


37



 

 
We will give you a grace period of 61 days from the date we send the notice to pay sufficient premium to keep your Policy In Force. Your Policy will remain In Force during the grace period.
 
If you do not make the minimum payment
If we do not receive your payment within the grace period, your Policy will lapse with no value. This means we will end your life insurance coverage.
 
If you make the minimum payment
If we receive your payment within the grace period, we will allocate your Net Premium to the Investment Options you have chosen and deduct the monthly charge from your Investment Options in proportion to the Accumulated Value you have in each Investment Option.
 
If your Policy is in danger of lapsing and you have Policy Debt, you may find that making the minimum payment would cause the total premiums paid to exceed the maximum amount for your Policy’s Face Amount under tax laws. In that situation, we will not accept the portion of your payment that would exceed the maximum amount. To stop your Policy lapsing, you will have to repay a portion of your Policy Debt.
 
Remember to tell us if your payment is a premium payment. Otherwise, we will treat it as a loan repayment.
 
How to avoid future lapsing
To stop your Policy from lapsing in the future, you may want to make larger or more frequent premium payments if tax laws permit it. Or if you have a loan, you may want to repay a portion of it.
 
Paying Death Benefit Proceeds during the grace period
If the Insured dies during the grace period, we will pay Death Benefit Proceeds to your Beneficiary. We will reduce the payment by any unpaid monthly charges and any Policy Debt.
 
Reinstating a lapsed Policy
If your Policy lapses, you have five years from the end of the grace period to apply for a reinstatement. We will reinstate it if you send us the following:
 
•  a written application
 
•  evidence satisfactory to us that the Insured is still insurable
 
•  a premium payment sufficient, after deduction of premium load, to:
 
  •  cover all unpaid monthly charges and Policy loan interest that were due in the grace period, and
 
  •  keep your Policy In Force for three months after the day your Policy is reinstated.
 
We will reinstate your Policy as of the first Monthly Payment Date on or after the day we approve the reinstatement. When we reinstate your Policy, its Accumulated Value will be the same as it was on the day your Policy lapsed. We will allocate the Accumulated Value according to your most recent premium allocation instructions.
 
At reinstatement:
 
•  Surrender charges and policy charges other than Cost of Insurance Charges will resume on their schedule as of the Monthly Payment Date when lapse occurred.
 
•  Cost of Insurance Charges will be calculated using Cost of Insurance Rates that resume their original schedule as if lapse had never occurred, reflecting the Insureds’ Ages at reinstatement and policy duration measured from the original Policy Date.
 
Reinstating a lapsed Policy with Policy Debt
If you had Policy Debt when your Policy lapsed, we will not pay or credit interest on it during the period between the lapsing and reinstatement of your Policy. There are special rules that apply to reinstating a Policy with Policy Debt:
 
•  If we reinstate your Policy on the first Monthly Payment Date that immediately follows the lapse, we will not reinstate the debt.
 
•  If we reinstate your Policy on any Monthly Payment Date other than the Monthly Payment Date that immediately follows the lapse, we will deduct the Policy Debt from your Policy’s Accumulated Value. This means you will no longer have Policy Debt when your Policy is reinstated. However, we will reinstate your Policy Debt if you ask us to in writing.

YOUR INVESTMENT OPTIONS
 
This section tells you about the Investment Options available under your Policy and how they work.
 
We put your Net Premium in our General Account and Separate Account. We own the assets in our accounts and allocate your Net Premiums, less any charges, to the Investment Options you have chosen. Amounts allocated to any available Fixed Options are held in our General Account. Amounts allocated to the Variable Investment Options are held in our Separate Account. You will find information about when we allocate Net Premiums to your Investment Options in How Premiums Work.
 
You choose your initial Investment Options on your application. If you choose more than one Investment Option, you must tell us the dollar amount or percentage you want to allocate to each Investment Option. You can change your premium allocation instructions at any time.
 
You can change your premium allocation instructions by writing or sending a fax. If we have your completed telephone and electronic authorization on file, you can call us at (800) 800-7681 or submit a request electronically. Or you can ask your insurance professional to contact us. You will find more information regarding telephone and electronic instructions in Policy Basics.
 
The Investment Options you choose, and how they perform, will affect your Policy’s Accumulated Value and may affect the Death Benefit. Please review the Investment Options carefully. You may ask your insurance professional to help you choose the right ones for your goals and tolerance for risk. Any financial firm or representative you engage to provide advice and/or make transfers for you is not acting on our behalf. We are not responsible for any investment decisions or allocations you make, recommendations such financial representatives make or any allocations or specific transfers they choose to make on your behalf. Make sure you understand any costs you may pay directly and indirectly on your Investment Options because they will affect the value of your Policy.
 
Variable Investment Options
 
You can choose from a selection of Variable Investment Options. Each Variable Investment Option is set up as a Variable Account under our Separate Account and invests in a corresponding portfolio of the Pacific Select Fund, the BlackRock Variable Series Funds, Inc., the Fidelity Variable Insurance Products Funds (“Fidelity VIP Funds”), the Franklin Templeton Variable Insurance Products Trust, the GE Investments Funds, Inc., the Janus Aspen Series, the Lazard Retirement Series, Inc., the Legg Mason Partners Variable Equity Trust, the Lord Abbett Series Fund, Inc., the MFS Variable Insurance Trust, the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, the Royce Capital Fund, the T. Rowe Price Equity Series, Inc. and the Van Eck VIP Trust. Each portfolio invests in different securities and has its own investment goals, strategies and risks. The value of each portfolio will fluctuate with the value of the investments it holds, and returns are not guaranteed. Your Policy’s Accumulated Value will fluctuate depending on the Investment Options you have chosen. You bear the investment risk of any Variable Investment Options you choose.

1 Issuers in the utilities industry include issuers engaged in the manufacture, production, generation, transmission, sale or distribution of electric, gas or other types of energy, water or other sanitary services; and issuers engaged in telecommunications, including telephone, cellular telephone, telegraph, satellite, microwave, cable television, and other communications media (but not engaged in public broadcasting).
 
2 Hard asset securities are stocks, bonds and other securities of companies that derive at least 50% of their revenues from exploration, development, production, distribution or facilitation of processes relating to: a) precious metals, b) natural resources, c) real estate and d) commodities. In addition, hard asset securities shall include any derivative securities the present value of which are based upon hard asset securities and/or hard asset commodities.
 
Calculating unit values
When you choose a Variable Investment Option, we credit your Policy with accumulation units. The number of units we credit equals the amount we have allocated divided by the unit value of the Variable Account. Similarly, the number of accumulation units in your Policy will be reduced when you make a transfer, withdrawal or loan from a Variable Investment Option, and when your monthly charges are deducted.


44



 

An example
 
You ask us to allocate $6,000 to the Inflation Managed Investment Option on a Business Day. At the end of that day, the unit value of the Variable Account is $15. We will credit your Policy with 400 units ($6,000 divided by $15).
 
The value of an accumulation unit is the basis for all financial transactions relating to the Variable Investment Options. The value of an accumulation unit is not the same as the value of a share in the underlying portfolio. We calculate the unit value for each Variable Account once every Business Day, usually at or about 4:00 p.m. Eastern time.
 
Generally, for any transaction, we will use the next unit value calculated after we receive your Written Request. If we receive your Written Request before the time of the close of the New York Stock Exchange, which is usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern time, on a Business Day, we will use the unit value calculated as of the end of that Business Day. If we receive your request at or after the time of the close of the New York Stock Exchange on a Business Day, we will use the unit value calculated as of the end of the next Business Day.
 
If a scheduled transaction falls on a day that is not a Business Day, we will process it as of the end of the next Business Day. For your monthly charge, we will use the unit value calculated on your Monthly Payment Date. If your Monthly Payment Date does not fall on a Business Day, we will use the unit value calculated as of the end of the next Business Day. For information about timing of transactions, see Policy Basics.
 
The unit value calculation is based on the following:
 
•  the investment performance of the underlying portfolio
 
•  any dividends or distributions paid by the underlying portfolio
 
•  any charges for any taxes that are, or may become, associated with the operation of the Variable Account.
 
The unit value of a Variable Account will change with the value of its corresponding portfolio. Changes in the unit value of a Variable Account will not change the number of accumulation units credited to your Policy.
 
Fees and expenses paid by the Funds
Each Fund pays advisory fees and other expenses. These are deducted from the assets of the Fund’s portfolios and may vary from year to year. They are not fixed and are not part of the terms of your Policy. You will find more about Fund fees and expenses in Fee Tables and in each Fund’s prospectus. If you choose a Variable Investment Option, these fees and expenses affect you indirectly because they reduce portfolio returns. Each Fund is governed by its own Board of Trustees or Board of Directors.
 
The SEC recently approved a rule change which will require the Boards of Trustees/Directors of mutual funds to determine whether a redemption fee (not to exceed 2%) or other trading (transfer) restrictions should be imposed. A redemption fee is a fee that would be charged by and paid to the Fund (not to us). In the event the Board of Trustees/Directors of any underlying Funds imposes such fees or limitations, we will pass them on to you.
 
Fixed Options
 
You can also choose from two Fixed Options: the Fixed Account and the Fixed LT Account. The Fixed Options provide a guaranteed minimum annual rate of interest. The amounts allocated to the Fixed Options are held in our General Account. For more information about the General Account, see About Pacific Life.
 
Here are some things you need to know about the Fixed Options:
 
•  Accumulated Value allocated to the Fixed Options earns interest on a daily basis, using a 365-day year. Our minimum annual interest rate is 2.5%.
 
•  We may offer a higher annual interest rate on the Fixed Options. If we do, we will guarantee the higher rate until your next Policy Anniversary.
 
•  If we offer a higher annual interest rate on a Fixed Option, we may also pay additional interest on Accumulated Value in excess of $25,000 in that Fixed Option. Ask your insurance professional for current interest rates.
 
•  There are no investment risks or direct charges. Policy charges still apply.
 
•  There are limitations on when and how much you can transfer from the Fixed Options. These limitations are described below, in Transferring Among Investment Options. It may take several Policy Years to transfer your Accumulated Value out of either of the Fixed Options.
 
•  We may place a limit of $1,000,000 for Net Premiums and $100,000 for loan repayments and transfers allocated to the Fixed Options in any 12-month period. This is an aggregate limit for all Pacific Life policies you own. Any allocations in excess of these limits will be allocated to your other Investment Options according to your most recent instructions. We may increase the limits at any time at our sole discretion. To find out if higher limits are in effect, ask your insurance professional or contact us.


45



 

•  We have not registered the Fixed Options with the SEC, and the staff of the SEC has not reviewed the disclosure in this prospectus relating to the Fixed Options. Disclosures regarding the Fixed Options, however, are subject to certain generally applicable provisions of the federal securities laws relating to the accuracy and completeness of statements made in the prospectus.
 
Transferring Among Investment Options and Market-timing Restrictions
 
Transfers
You can transfer among your Investment Options any time during the life of your Policy without triggering any current income tax. If your state requires us to refund your premiums when you exercise your Free Look Right, you can make transfers and use transfer programs only after the Free Look Transfer Date. Your transfer of Accumulated Value on the Free Look Transfer Date does not count as a transfer for purpose of applying the limitations described in this section. You can make transfers by writing to us, by making a telephone or electronic transfer, or by signing up for one of our automatic transfer services. You will find more information about making telephone and electronic transfers in Pacific Select Exec V Basics.
 
Transfers will normally be effective as of the end of the Business Day we receive your written, telephone or electronic request.
 
Here are some things you need to know about making transfers:
 
•  Transfers are limited to 25 for each calendar year.
 
•  If you have used all 25 transfers available to you in a calendar year, you may no longer make transfers between the Investment Options until the start of the next calendar year. However, you may make 1 transfer of all or a portion of your Policy’s Accumulated Value remaining in the Variable Investment Options into the Cash Management Investment Option prior to the start of the next calendar year.
 
•  You may only make 2 transfers in any calendar month to or from each of the following Investment Options: American Funds Growth-Income, American Funds Growth, American Funds Asset Allocation, Fidelity VIP Contrafund® Service Class 2, Fidelity VIP Freedom Income Service Class 2, Fidelity VIP Freedom 2010 Service Class 2, Fidelity VIP Freedom 2015 Service Class 2, Fidelity VIP Freedom 2020 Service Class 2, Fidelity VIP Freedom 2025 Service Class 2, Fidelity VIP Freedom 2030 Service Class 2, Fidelity VIP Growth Service Class 2, Fidelity VIP Mid Cap Service Class 2 and Fidelity VIP Value Strategies Service Class 2, T. Rowe Price Blue Chip Growth Portfolio – II, T. Rowe Price Equity Income Portfolio – II.
 
•  Additionally, only 2 transfers in any calendar month may involve any of the following Investment Options: International Value, International Small-Cap, International Large-Cap, Emerging Markets, BlackRock Global Allocation V.I. Fund Class III, GE Investments Total Return Fund Class 3, Janus Aspen Series Overseas Service Class, PIMCO Global Multi-Asset Portfolio Advisor Class, Templeton Global Bond Securities Fund Class II or Van Eck VIP Global Hard Assets Fund.
 
•  For the purpose of applying the limitations, multiple transfers that occur on the same day are considered 1 transfer. Transfers into the Loan Account, a transfer of Accumulated Value from the Loan Account into your Investment Options following a loan payment, or transfers that occur as a result of the dollar cost averaging service, the portfolio rebalancing service, approved corporate owned life insurance policy rebalancing programs, the first year transfer service or an approved asset allocation service are excluded from the transfer limitations. Also, allocations of premium payments are not subject to these limitations.
 
•  Transfers to or from a Variable Investment Option cannot be made before the seventh calendar day following the last transfer to or from the same Variable Investment Option. If the seventh calendar day is not a Business Day, then a transfer may not occur until the next Business Day. The day of the last transfer is not considered a calendar day for purposes of meeting this requirement. For example, if you make a transfer into the Diversified Research Variable Investment Option on Monday, you may not make any transfers to or from that Variable Investment Option before the following Monday. Transfers to or from the Cash Management Variable Investment Option are excluded from this limitation.
 
•  You can only make transfers from the Variable Investment Options to the Fixed Options 30 days prior to and 30 days after each Policy Anniversary. However, if your Policy was issued in Connecticut, Georgia, Maryland, Massachusetts, North Carolina, North Dakota or Pennsylvania, you can make transfers to the Fixed Account any time during the first 18 months of your Policy.
 
•  You can make one transfer in any 12-month period from each Fixed Option, except if you have signed up for the first year transfer service (see Transfer Services later in this section). Such transfers are limited to the greater of:
 
  •  $5,000, 25% of your Policy’s Accumulated Value in the Fixed Account, or the amount transferred from the Fixed Account to the Variable Accounts in the prior year. You may transfer 100% of the value in the Fixed Account to the Fixed LT Account.
 
  •  $5,000, 10% of your Policy’s Accumulated Value in the Fixed LT Account, or the amount transferred from the Fixed LT Account to the Variable Accounts or Fixed Account in the prior year.
 
•  We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to waive the transfer restrictions on the Fixed Options. Please contact us or your insurance professional to find out if a waiver is currently in effect.
 
•  Currently, there is no charge for making a transfer but we may charge you in the future. The maximum fee we will charge for a transfer is $25 per transfer in excess of 12 per Policy Year.


46



 

 
•  There is no minimum required value for the Investment Option you are transferring to or from.
 
•  There is no minimum amount required if you are making transfers between Variable Investment Options.
 
•  You cannot make a transfer if your Policy is in the grace period and is in danger of lapsing.
 
•  We can restrict or suspend transfers.
 
•  We will notify you or your representative if we refuse or delay your transfer request.
 
•  We have the right to impose limits on transfer amounts, the value of the Investment Options you are transferring to or from, or impose further limits on the number and frequency of transfers you can make. Any policy we establish with regard to the exercise of any of these rights will be applied uniformly to all Policy Owners.
 
There are no exceptions to the above transfer limitations in the absence of an error by us, a substitution of Investment Options, or reorganization of underlying portfolios or other extraordinary circumstances.
 
Market-timing restrictions
The Policy is not designed to serve as a vehicle for frequent trading in response to short-term fluctuations in the market. Accordingly, organizations or individuals that use market-timing investment strategies and make frequent transfers should not purchase the Policy. Such frequent trading can disrupt management of the underlying portfolios and raise expenses. The transfer limitations set forth above are intended to reduce frequent trading. In addition, we monitor certain large transaction activity in an attempt to detect trading that may be disruptive to the portfolios. In the event transfer activity is found to be disruptive, certain future subsequent transfers by such Policy Owners, or by a insurance professional or other party acting on behalf of one or more Policy Owners, will require preclearance. Frequent trading and large transactions that are disruptive to portfolio management can have an adverse effect on portfolio performance and therefore your Policy’s performance. Such trading may also cause dilution in the value of the Investment Options held by long-term Policy Owners. While these issues can occur in connection with any of the underlying portfolios, portfolios holding securities that are subject to market pricing inefficiencies are more susceptible to abuse. For example, portfolios holding international securities may be more susceptible to time-zone arbitrage which seeks to take advantage of pricing discrepancies occurring between the time of the closing of the market on which the security is traded and the time of pricing of the portfolios.
 
Our policies and procedures which limit the number and frequency of transfers and which may impose preclearance requirements on certain large transactions are applied uniformly to all Policy Owners, subject to the transfer restrictions outlined above. However, there is a risk that these policies and procedures will not detect all potentially disruptive activity or will otherwise prove ineffective in whole or in part. Further, we and our affiliates make available to our variable life insurance policy owners and variable annuity contract owners underlying Funds not affiliated with us. We are unable to monitor or restrict the trading activity with respect to shares of such Funds not sold in connection with our contracts. In the event the Board of Trustees/Directors of any underlying Fund imposes a redemption fee or trading (transfers) limitations, we will pass them on to you.
 
We reserve the right to restrict, in our sole discretion and without prior notice, transfers initiated by a market timing organization or individual or other party authorized to give transfer instructions on behalf of multiple Policy Owners. Such restrictions could include:
 
•  not accepting transfer instructions from a representative acting on behalf of more than one Policy Owner, and
 
•  not accepting preauthorized transfer forms from market timers or other entities acting on behalf of more than one Policy Owner at a time.
 
We further reserve the right to impose, without prior notice, restrictions on transfers that we determine, in our sole discretion, will disadvantage or potentially hurt the rights or interests of other policy owners.
 
Transfer Services
 
We offer four services that allow you to make transfers of Accumulated Value or interest earnings from one Investment Option to another. Under the dollar cost averaging and portfolio rebalancing services, you can transfer among the Variable Investment Options. Under the first year transfer service, you can make transfers from the Fixed Account to the Fixed LT Account and the Variable Investment Options. Under the Fixed Option interest sweep service, you can transfer interest earnings from the Fixed Account or Fixed LT Account to the Variable Investment Options.
 
We may restrict the number of transfer services in which you can participate at any time. We have the right to discontinue, modify or suspend any of these transfer services at any time.
 
Detailed information regarding each transfer service appears in the SAI.


47



 

Dollar cost averaging
Our dollar cost averaging service allows you to make scheduled transfers of $50 or more between Variable Investment Options. It does not allow you to make transfers to or from either of the Fixed Options. We process transfers as of the end of the Business Day on your Policy’s monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual anniversary, depending on the interval you choose. You must have at least $5,000 in a Variable Investment Option to start the service.
 
Since the value of accumulation units can change, more units are credited for a scheduled transfer when unit values are lower, and fewer units when unit values are higher. This allows you to average the cost of investments over time. Investing this way does not guarantee profits or prevent losses.
 
We will not charge you for the dollar cost averaging service or for transfers made under this service, even if we decide to charge you in the future for transfers outside of the service, except if we have to by law.
 
Portfolio rebalancing
As the value of the underlying portfolios changes, the value of the allocations to the Variable Investment Options will also change. The portfolio rebalancing service automatically transfers your Policy’s Accumulated Value among the Variable Investment Options according to your original percentage allocations. We process transfers as of the end of the Business Day on your Policy’s next quarterly, semi-annual or annual anniversary, depending on the interval you choose, unless you specify a different start date.
 
Because the portfolio rebalancing service matches your original percentage allocations, we may transfer money from an Investment Option with relatively higher returns to one with relatively lower returns.
 
We do not charge for the portfolio rebalancing service and we do not currently charge for transfers made under this service. If imposed, transfer fees could be substantial if total transfers scheduled under this service plus any unscheduled transfers you request exceed any applicable minimum guarantee of free transfers per Policy Year.
 
If at any time you move all or any portion of your policy’s accumulated value out of the investment options you selected at the time you enrolled in the portfolio rebalancing service, your enrollment will be cancelled. Once the portfolio rebalancing service is cancelled, you must wait 30 days before you can re-enroll.
 
First year transfer
Our first year transfer service allows you to make monthly transfers from the Fixed Account to the Variable Investment Options or the Fixed LT Account during the first year your Policy is In Force. It does not allow you to transfer among Variable Investment Options. You enroll in the service when you apply for your Policy and include specific details on your application.
 
This service allows you to average the cost of investments over the first 12 months from the date your initial premium is applied to your Policy. Investing this way does not guarantee profits or prevent losses.
 
We do not charge for the first year transfer service and we do not currently charge for transfers made under this service. If imposed, transfer fees could be substantial if total transfers scheduled under this service plus any unscheduled transfers you request exceed any applicable minimum guarantee of free transfers per Policy Year.
 
Fixed Option interest sweep
The Fixed Option interest sweep service allows you to make scheduled transfers of the accumulated interest earnings from your Fixed Account or Fixed LT Account to the Variable Investment Options. At the time you complete the election form for the Fixed Option interest sweep service, you will select either the Fixed Account or the Fixed LT Account as the account from which you want to transfer interest earnings. You will also select the Variable Investment Options to which you wish to transfer the interest earnings. Interest earnings subject to transfer under the Fixed Option interest sweep service will begin to accrue on the Policy’s first monthly anniversary following your enrollment in the service. Each transfer must be at least $50. If the fixed account option you selected on the election form does not have interest earnings of at least $50, the transfer will be held until the next scheduled transfer date when the interest earnings are at least $50. Amounts transferred under the Fixed Option interest sweep service do not count against the Fixed Option transfer limitations or Investment Option transfer restrictions.
 
We do not charge for the Fixed Option interest sweep service and we do not currently charge for transfers made under this service. If imposed, transfer fees could be substantial if total transfers scheduled under this service plus any unscheduled transfers you request exceed any applicable minimum guarantee of free transfers per Policy Year.

WITHDRAWALS, SURRENDERS AND LOANS
 
You can take out all or part of your Policy’s Accumulated Value while your Policy is In Force by making withdrawals or surrendering your Policy. You can take out a loan from us using your Policy as security. You can also use your Policy’s loan and withdrawal features to supplement your income, for example, during retirement.
 
Making a withdrawal, taking out a loan or surrendering your Policy can change your Policy’s tax status, generate taxable income, or make your Policy more susceptible to lapsing. Be sure to plan carefully before using these Policy benefits.
 
If you withdraw a larger amount than you have paid into your Policy, your withdrawal may be considered taxable income.
 
For more information on the tax treatment of withdrawals or loans, or in the event you surrender your Policy, see Variable Life Insurance and Your Taxes.
 
Making Withdrawals
 
You can withdraw part of your Policy’s Net Cash Surrender Value starting on your Policy’s first anniversary. Here’s how it works:
 
•  You must send us a Written Request that’s signed by all owners.
 
•  Each withdrawal must be at least $200, and the Net Cash Surrender Value of your Policy after the withdrawal must be at least $500.
 
•  We will not accept your request to make a withdrawal if it will cause your Policy to become a Modified Endowment Contract, unless you have told us in writing that you want your Policy to become a Modified Endowment Contract.
 
•  We may charge you $25 for each withdrawal you make. (There is no charge currently imposed upon a withdrawal.)
 
•  You can choose to receive your withdrawal in a lump sum or use it to buy an income benefit. Please see the discussion about income benefits in General Information About Your Policy.
 
•  The Accumulated Value, Cash Surrender Value and Net Cash Surrender Value of your Policy will be reduced by the amount of each withdrawal.
 
•  If the Insured dies after you have sent a withdrawal request to us, but before we have made the withdrawal, we will deduct the amount of the withdrawal from any Death Benefit Proceeds owing.
 
How withdrawals affect your policy’s death benefit
Making a withdrawal will affect your Policy’s Death Benefit in the following ways:
 
•  If your Policy’s Death Benefit does not equal the Minimum Death Benefit, the Death Benefit may decrease by the amount of your withdrawal.
 
•  If your Policy’s Death Benefit equals the Minimum Death Benefit, the Death Benefit may decrease by more than the amount of your withdrawal.
 
How withdrawals affect your policy’s face amount
If you have chosen Death Benefit Option B or Option C, making a withdrawal does not reduce your Policy’s Total Face Amount.
 
If you have chosen Death Benefit Option A, then a withdrawal may reduce your Policy’s Total Face Amount; however, the first withdrawal of each year in the first 15 Policy Years up to the lesser of $10,000 or 10% of the Net Cash Surrender Value will not reduce the Policy’s Total Face Amount. If you withdraw a larger amount, or make additional withdrawals, the Total Face Amount will usually be reduced by the amount, if any, by which the Total Face Amount exceeds the result of the Death Benefit immediately before the withdrawal minus the amount of the withdrawal. For Policies with Death Benefit Option A and the Guideline Premium Test election, the Total Face Amount reduction following a withdrawal may be limited to keep the Guideline Premium Limit greater than zero at all times prior to age 100.
 
We reserve the right to refuse any withdrawal request that would reduce the Policy’s Total Face Amount to less than $1,000 after the withdrawal.

An example
 
For a Policy with a Face Amount of $250,000 and a Surrender Value of $80,000, the Owner may withdraw the lesser of $10,000 or $8,000 (10% × $80,000) without any reduction in Face Amount.
 
Example 1:  Owner requests a withdrawal of $6,000. There will be no reduction in Face Amount.
 
Example 2:  Owner requests a withdrawal of $10,000. The Face Amount reduction is the amount of the withdrawal, less the allowable withdrawal amount, or $2,000 ($10,000 − $8,000 = $2,000). The Face Amount following the withdrawal is $248,000 ($250,000 − $2,000 = $248,000).
 
Taking Out a Loan
 
You can borrow money from us any time after the free look period. The minimum amount you can borrow is $200, unless there are other restrictions in your state. The maximum amount available to borrow is less than 100% of your Accumulated Value.
 
Taking out a loan will affect the growth of your Policy’s Accumulated Value, and may affect the Death Benefit.
 
You may request a loan either by sending us a request in writing, over the telephone or electronically. You will find more information about requesting a loan by telephone or electronically in Policy Basics.
 
When you borrow money from us, we use your Policy’s Accumulated Value as security. You pay interest on the amount you borrow. The Accumulated Value set aside to secure your loan also earns interest. Here’s how it works:
 
  •  Interest owing on the amount you have borrowed accrues daily at an annual rate of 2.75%. Interest that has accrued during the Policy Year is due on your Policy Anniversary.
 
•  The amount in the Loan Account earns interest daily at an annual rate of at least 2.5%. On each Policy Anniversary, if the Policy Debt exceeds the Loan Account Value, then the excess is transferred from your Policy’s Investment Options to the Loan Account on a proportionate basis to the Loan Account. If the Loan Account Value exceeds Policy Debt, then the excess will be transferred from the Loan Account to the Investment Options according to your most recent premium allocation instructions.
 
•  We currently intend to credit interest on the amount in the Loan Account at an annual rate of 2.75% in Policy Year 6 and thereafter. We can decrease the rate credited if we believe the change is needed to ensure that your Policy loan is not treated as a taxable distribution under federal income tax laws, or under any applicable ruling, regulation, or court decision. We will not decrease the annual rate to less than 2.5% on the amount in the Loan Account.
 
How much you can borrow
The maximum amount you may borrow on any date is equal to the Accumulated Value less:
 
•  three times the most recent monthly deduction;
 
•  any surrender charge; and
 
•  any existing Policy Debt.
 
An example of how much you can borrow
 
For a Policy in Policy Year 5 with:
 
• Accumulated Value of $100,000
 
• Policy Debt of $60,000
 
• a most recent monthly deduction of $225
 
• a surrender charge of $5,000 if the Policy was surrendered on the day the loan is taken.
 
The maximum amount you can borrow is $34,325. (100,000 − (3 × 225) − 5,000 − 60,000)
 
Paying off your loan
You can pay off all or part of the loan any time while your Policy is In Force. Unless you tell us otherwise, we will generally transfer any loan payments you make proportionately to your Investment Options according to your most recent allocation instructions. We may, however, first transfer any loan payments you make to the Fixed Options, up to the amount originally transferred from the Fixed Options to the Loan Account. We will then transfer any excess amount to your Variable Investment Options according to your most recent allocation instructions.
 
While you have Policy Debt, we will treat any money you send us as a loan repayment unless you tell us otherwise in writing.
 
You can make monthly loan payments using our Electronic Funds Transfer Plan. Here’s how it works:
 
•  You authorize us to withdraw a specified amount from your checking account, savings account or money market account each month by completing an Electronic Funds Transfer Form. Please contact us or your insurance professional for a copy of this form.


50



 

•  You can choose any day between the 4th and 28th of the month for us to make the withdrawal.
 
•  Loan payments made by the Electronic Funds Transfer Plan must be at least $50.
 
What happens if you do not pay off your loan
If you do not pay off your loan, we will deduct the amount in the Loan Account, including any interest you owe, from one of the following:
 
•  the Death Benefit Proceeds before we pay them to your Beneficiary
 
•  the Cash Surrender Value if you surrender your Policy
 
Taking out a loan, whether or not you repay it, will have a permanent effect on the value of your Policy. For example, while your Policy’s Accumulated Value is held in the Loan Account, it will miss out on all earnings available in the Investment Options. The amount of interest you earn on the Loan Account may be less than the amount of interest you would have earned from the Fixed Options. These could lower your Policy’s Accumulated Value, which could reduce the amount of the Death Benefit.
 
When a loan is outstanding, the amount in the Loan Account is not available to help pay for any Policy charges. If, after deducting your Policy Debt, there is not enough Accumulated Value in your Policy to cover the Policy charges, your Policy could lapse. You may need to make additional premium payments or loan repayments to prevent your Policy from lapsing.
 
Your Policy Debt could result in taxable income if you surrender your Policy, if your Policy lapses, or if your Policy is a Modified Endowment Contract. You should talk to your tax advisor before taking out a loan under your Policy. See Taxation of distributions in Variable Life Insurance and Your Taxes.
 
Ways to Use Your Policy’s Loan and Withdrawal Features
 
You can use your Policy’s loan and withdrawal features to supplement your income, for example, during retirement. If you are interested in using your life insurance Policy to supplement your retirement income, please contact us for more information.
 
Setting up an income stream may not be suitable for all Policy Owners.
 
Here are some things you should consider when setting up an income stream:
 
•  the rate of return you expect to earn on your Investment Options
 
•  how long you would like to receive regular income
 
•  the amount of Accumulated Value you want to maintain in your Policy.
 
You can ask your insurance professional for Illustrations showing how Policy charges may affect existing Accumulated Value and how future withdrawals and loans may affect the Accumulated Value and Death Benefit. You can also ask for accompanying charts and graphs that compare results from various retirement strategies.
 
Understanding the risks
Using your Policy to supplement your income does not change your rights or our obligations under the Policy. The terms for loans and withdrawals described in this prospectus remain the same. It is important to understand the risks that are involved in using your Policy’s loan and withdrawal features. Use of these features may increase the chance of your Policy lapsing.
 
You should consult with your financial adviser and carefully consider how much you can withdraw and borrow from your Policy each year to set up your income stream.
 
Automated Income Option
 
Our automated income option (“AIO”) program allows you to make scheduled withdrawals or loans. Your Policy is eligible after the 7th Policy Anniversary. To begin the program, you must have a minimum Net Cash Surrender Value of $50,000, and your Policy must not qualify as a Modified Endowment Contract.
 
You request participation in the AIO program and specify your AIO preferences by sending us an AIO Request Form. If you wish to do so, contact your insurance professional for an AIO Request Form.
 
There is no fee to participate in the AIO program. The $25 fee for withdrawals under the AIO program is currently waived.
 
Withdrawals and loans may reduce Policy values and benefits. They may also increase your risk of lapse. In order to minimize the risk of lapse, you should not take additional loans or withdrawals while you are in the AIO program.
 
Distributions under the AIO program may result in tax liability. Please consult your tax advisor. For more information, see Variable Life Insurance and Your Taxes.
 
You may discontinue participation in the AIO program at any time by sending a Written Request to us.

Detailed information appears in the SAI.
 
Overloan Protection II Rider
 
Subject to availability in your state, your Policy will have an Overloan Protection II Rider if the Insured is Age 80 or younger and you elect the Guideline Premium Test as the Death Benefit Qualification Test. Exercise of this Rider will guarantee, as long as the Rider stays in effect, that the Policy will not lapse even if the Policy Debt exceeds the Accumulated Value. For more information, please see The Death Benefit: Other Riders and Benefits.
 
Surrendering Your Policy
 
You can surrender or cash in your Policy at any time while the Insured is alive.
 
Here are some things you need to know about surrendering your Policy:
 
•  You must send us your Policy and a Written Request.
 
•  We will send you the Policy’s Net Cash Surrender Value. You can choose to receive your money in a lump sum or use it to buy an income benefit. Please see the discussion about income benefits in General Information About Your Policy.
 
•  If you surrender your Policy during the first 10 Policy Years, we will deduct a surrender charge.
 
•  Each Coverage Layer has a surrender charge, based on the Face Amount of each Coverage Layer and the Age and Risk Class of the Insured, and the Death Benefit Option, on the date each Coverage Layer is effective. If you increase your Policy’s Face Amount, we will send you a supplemental schedule of benefits that shows the surrender charge factors associated with the increase.
 
   Your Policy has a Level Period at Policy issue, during which the surrender charge is equal to the Initial Amount. After the Level Period, the surrender charge decreases on each Monthly Payment Date by 1/12 of the Reduction Factor until the charge becomes $0 after the End Year. The Initial Amount, Level Period, Reduction Factor and End Year are shown in the Table of Surrender Charge Factors in your Policy Specifications.
 
Example
 
For a Policy that insures a male non-smoker, Age 45 at Policy issue, with a Policy Face Amount of $100,000
 
Initial Amount = $1,335.50
Level Period = 5 Policy Years
Reduction Factor = 267.10
End Year = 10
 
During the first 60 Policy months, the surrender charge is: $1,335.50
 
In Policy month 61, the surrender charge is: $1,313.24 ($1,335.50 − (267.10 ¸12))
 
•  There’s no surrender charge on any Coverage Layer after 10 Policy Years from the date the Coverage Layer is effective.
 
•  We guarantee the surrender charge rates will not increase.
 
•  If you decrease the Face Amount, the decrease will not affect your Policy’s surrender charge.

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR POLICY
 
This section tells you some additional things you should know about your Policy.
 
Income Benefit
 
If you surrender or make a withdrawal from your Policy, you can use the money to buy an income benefit that provides a monthly income. Your Policy’s Beneficiary can use Death Benefit Proceeds to buy an income benefit. In addition to the income benefit described below, you can choose from other income benefits we may make available from time to time.
 
The following is one income benefit available under the Policy:
 
•  The income benefit is based on the life of the person receiving the income. If the Policy Owner is buying the income benefit, monthly income will be based on the Owner’s life. If the Policy’s Beneficiary buys the income benefit, monthly income will be based on the Beneficiary’s life.
 
•  We will pay a monthly income for at least 10 years regardless of whether the person receiving the income is still alive.
 
•  After 10 years, we will only pay the monthly income for as long as the person receiving it is still alive.
 
•  The minimum monthly income benefit calculated must be at least $100.
 
•  For this income benefit, the amount you receive will always be at least as much as the amount guaranteed by your Policy.
 
Paying the Death Benefit in the Case of Suicide
 
If the Insured, whether sane or insane, commits suicide within two years of the Policy Date, Death Benefit Proceeds will be the total of all premiums you have paid, less any Policy Debt and any withdrawals you have made.
 
If you reinstate your Policy and the Insured commits suicide, while sane or insane, within two years of the latest reinstatement date, the Death Benefit Proceeds will be the sum of the premiums paid, less the sum of any Policy loans and withdrawals taken, since the latest reinstatement date.
 
If the Insured commits suicide, while sane or insane, after two years from the Policy Date but within two years of any increase in Total Face Amount or, if applicable, the latest reinstatement date after any such increase, the Death Benefit Proceeds will be limited by the following adjustments:
 
  1)  any such increase in Total Face Amount will be excluded;
 
  2)  refund of the portion of monthly deductions associated with any such increase will be included; and
 
  3)  premium load associated with the portion of monthly deductions referred to in 2) above will be included.
 
Replacement of Life Insurance or Annuities
 
The term replacement has a special meaning in the life insurance industry. Before you make a decision to buy, we want you to understand what impact a replacement may have on your existing insurance policy.
 
A replacement occurs when you buy a new life insurance policy or annuity contract, and a policy or contract you already own has been or will be:
 
•  lapsed, forfeited, surrendered or partially surrendered, assigned to the replacing insurer, or otherwise terminated
 
•  converted to reduced paid-up insurance, continued as extended term insurance, or otherwise reduced in value by the use of nonforfeiture benefits or other policy values
 
•  amended to effect either a reduction in benefits or in the term for which coverage would otherwise remain in force or for which benefits would be paid
 
•  reissued with any reduction in cash value, or
 
•  pledged as collateral or subject to borrowing, whether in a single loan or under a schedule of borrowing over a period of time.
 
There are circumstances when replacing your existing life insurance policy or annuity contract can benefit you. As a general rule, however, replacement is not in your best interest. A replacement may affect your plan of insurance in the following ways:
 
•  You will pay new acquisition costs;
 
•  You may have to submit to new medical examinations;
 
•  You may pay increased premiums because of the increased age or changed health of the insured;
 
•  Claims made in the early policy years may be contested;
 
•  You may have to pay surrender charges and/or income taxes on your current policy or contract values;


53



 

 
•  Your new policy or contract values may be subject to surrender charges; and
 
•  If part of a financed purchase, your existing policy or contract values or Death Benefit may be reduced.
 
You should carefully compare the costs and benefits of your existing policy or contract with those of the new policy or contract to determine whether replacement is in your best interest.
 
Policy Exchange
 
If your Policy is issued in Connecticut or Maryland, you may exchange this Policy for a policy with benefits that do not vary with the investment results of a separate account. You must request this in writing within 18 months of your Policy Date and return the original Policy.
 
The new policy will have the same Owner, Beneficiary and Cash Surrender Value as those of your original Policy on the date of exchange. It will also have the same issue Age, Policy Date, Face Amount, benefits, Riders and underwriting class as the original Policy. However, if your Risk Class is not available, the Policy will be issued with a comparable risk classification. Any Policy Debt will be carried over to the new policy. Evidence of insurability will not be required.
 
Errors on Your Application
 
If the gender or birth date of the Insured is stated incorrectly on your application, the Death Benefit under your Policy will be the greater of the following:
 
•  the Death Benefit based on a Net Amount At Risk adjusted by the ratio of the incorrect cost of insurance rate to the correct cost of insurance rate for the Insured’s gender and Age, or
 
•  the Minimum Death Benefit for the correct gender and birth date.
 
If the Insured’s gender or birth date is misstated in the application and it is discovered before the death of the Insured, we will not recalculate the Accumulated Value, but we will use the correct gender and birth date of the Insured in calculating future monthly deductions.
 
Contesting the Validity of Your Policy
 
We have the right to contest the validity of your Policy for two years from the Policy Date. Once your Policy has been In Force for two years from the Policy Date during the lifetime of the Insured, we generally lose the right to contest its validity.
 
We also have the right to contest the validity of a Policy that you reinstate for two years from the day that it was reinstated. Once your reinstated Policy has been In Force for two years from the reinstatement date during the lifetime of the Insured, we generally lose the right to contest its validity. During this period, we may contest your Policy only if there is a material misrepresentation on your application for reinstatement.
 
We have the right to contest the validity of an increase in the Face Amount of a Policy for two years from the day the increase becomes effective. Once the increased Face Amount has been In Force for two years during the lifetime of the Insured, we generally lose the right to contest its validity.
 
Regardless of the above, we can contest the validity of your Policy for failure to pay premiums at any time. The Policy will terminate upon successful contest with respect to the Insured.
 
Assigning Your Policy as Collateral
 
You may assign your Policy as collateral to secure a loan, mortgage, or other kind of debt. An assignment will take place only when we receive and record your signed Collateral Assignment Form. When recorded, the assignment will take effect as of the date the form was signed. Any rights created by the assignment will be subject to any payments made or actions taken by us before we record the change. We will not be responsible for the validity of any assignment. Please contact us for a Collateral Assignment Form if you would like to assign your Policy.
 
Non-participating
 
This Policy will not share in any of our surplus earnings.
 
Policy Changes
 
We reserve the right to make any change to the provisions of this Policy to comply with, or give you the benefit of, any federal or state statute, rule, or regulation, including but not limited to requirements for life insurance contracts under the Tax Code or of any state. We will provide you with a copy of any such change, and file such a change with the insurance supervisory official of the state in which this Policy is delivered, and any other applicable regulatory authority. You have the right to refuse any such change.


54



 

 
VARIABLE LIFE INSURANCE AND YOUR TAXES
 
The tax consequences of owning a Policy or receiving proceeds from it may vary by jurisdiction and according to the circumstances of each Owner or Beneficiary.
 
The following is based on our understanding of the present federal income tax laws as they are currently interpreted by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). It is based on the Internal Revenue Code (the Tax Code) and does not cover any state or local tax laws. More detailed information appears in the SAI.
 
We do not know whether the current treatment of life insurance policies under current federal income tax or estate or gift tax laws will continue. We also do not know whether the current interpretations of the laws by the IRS or the courts will remain the same. Future legislation may adversely change the tax treatment of life insurance policies. This may affect the performance and underlying tax assumptions of this Policy, including any Riders. In some cases, these changes could result in a decrease in Policy values or lapse.
 
We do not make any guarantees about the tax status of your Policy, and you should not consider the discussion that follows to be tax advice. This is not a complete discussion of all federal income tax questions that may arise under a Policy. There are special rules that we do not include here that may apply in certain situations. Speak to a qualified tax adviser for complete information about federal, state and local taxes that may apply to you.
 
The Policy as Life Insurance
 
Death benefits from a life insurance policy may generally be excluded from income under Section 101(a) of the Tax Code.
 
We believe that the Policy meets the statutory definition of life insurance for federal income tax purposes. That means it will receive the same tax advantages as a conventional fixed life insurance policy. The two main tax advantages are:
 
•  In general, your Policy’s Beneficiary will not be subject to federal income taxes when he or she receives the Death Benefit Proceeds.
 
•  You will generally not be taxed on your Policy’s Accumulated Value unless you receive a cash distribution by making a withdrawal, surrendering your Policy, or in some instances, taking a loan from your Policy.
 
Policy Features and Charges
 
The tax laws defining life insurance do not cover all policy features. Your Policy may have features that could prevent it from qualifying as life insurance. For example, the tax laws have yet to address:
 
•  substandard risk policies
 
•  policies with term insurance on the Insured
 
•  life insurance policies that continue coverage beyond Age 100, or other advanced ages.
 
The Tax Code and tax regulations impose limitations on unreasonable mortality and expense charges for purposes of determining whether a policy qualifies as life insurance for federal tax purposes. We can change our mortality charges if we believe the changes are needed to ensure that your Policy qualifies as a life insurance contract.
 
Diversification rules and ownership of the Separate Account
 
Your Policy will not qualify for the tax benefit of a life insurance contract unless, among other requirements, the Separate Account follows certain rules requiring diversification of investments underlying the Policy. Section 817(h) of the Tax Code and related Treasury Regulations describe the diversification rules.
 
For a variable life insurance policy to qualify for tax deferral, assets in the separate accounts supporting the policy must be considered to be owned by the insurance company and not by the policy owner. If a policy owner is treated as having control over the underlying assets, the policy owner will be taxed currently on income and gains from the account and in such a case of “investor control” the policy owner would not derive the tax benefits normally associated with variable life insurance.
 
For more information about diversification rules, please refer to the accompanying prospectus of the Pacific Select Fund prospectus. For more information regarding investor control, please refer to the policy SAI.
 
Policy Exchanges
 
Policy exchanges fall under Section 1035(a) of the Tax Code.


55



 

If you exchange your Policy for another one that insures the same person, it generally will be treated as a tax-free exchange and, if so, will not result in the recognition of gain or loss. If the policy owner or the person insured by the policy is changed, the exchange will be treated as a taxable exchange.
 
Change of Ownership
 
You may have taxable income if you transfer ownership of your Policy, sell your Policy, or change the ownership of it in any way.
 
Corporate or Employer Owners
 
There are special tax issues for corporate Owners:
 
•  Section 101(j) of the Internal Revenue Code generally provides that Death Benefits paid in connection with certain life insurance policies involving an employer will be taxable income. Employer-involved policies issued or materially modified on or after August 18, 2006 may be subject to income tax liability on the Policy’s Death Benefit unless certain requirements and conditions of Internal Revenue Code Section 101(j) are met.
 
•  Using your Policy to informally fund a promised deferred compensation benefit for executives may have special tax consequences.
 
•  Corporate ownership of a Policy may affect your liability under the alternative minimum tax (Section 56 of the Tax Code) and the environmental tax (Section 59A of the Tax Code).
 
Please consult your tax adviser for these and other special rules for employer-involved Policies.
 
Loans and corporate-owned policies
If you borrow money to buy or carry certain life insurance policies, tax law provisions may limit the deduction of interest. If the taxpayer is an entity that’s a direct or indirect beneficiary of certain life insurance, endowment or annuity contracts, a portion of the entity’s deductions for loan interest may be disallowed, even though this interest may relate to debt that’s completely unrelated to the contract. There may be a limited exception that applies to contracts issued on Insureds who are 20% owners, officers, directors or employees of the entity at the time the Policy is issued. If the life insurance Policy is later exchanged for a new life insurance Policy, the Insured must meet this exception at the time the new Policy is issued. For more information about this exception, you should consult your tax adviser.
 
Modified Endowment Contracts
 
Section 7702A of the Tax Code defines conventional life insurance policies. It also defines a class of life insurance policies known as “Modified Endowment Contracts”. If your Policy is a Modified Endowment Contract, any distributions you receive during the life of the Policy are treated less favorably than under conventional life insurance policies. Withdrawals, loans, pledges, assignments and the surrender of your Policy are all considered distributions and may be subject to tax on an income-first basis and a 10% penalty.
 
When a Policy becomes a Modified Endowment Contract
A life insurance policy becomes a Modified Endowment Contract if, at any time during the first seven policy years, the sum of actual premiums paid exceeds the seven-pay limit. The seven-pay limit is the cumulative total of the level annual premiums (or seven-pay premiums) required to pay for the policy’s future death and endowment benefits.
 
An example
 
For a policy with seven-pay premiums of $1,000 a year, the maximum premiums you could pay during the first seven years to avoid modified endowment treatment would be:
 
• $1,000 in the first year
 
• $2,000 through the first two years
 
• $3,000 through the first three years, etc.
 
If there is a material change to your Policy, like a change in the Death Benefit, we may have to retest your Policy and restart the seven-pay premium period to determine whether the change has caused the Policy to become a Modified Endowment Contract.
 
Taxation of Distributions
 
Tax treatment of distributions from your Policy’s Accumulated Value may be treated differently, depending upon whether your Policy is a Modified Endowment Contract.


56



 

     
CONVENTIONAL LIFE INSURANCE POLICY   MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACT
 
Surrendering your Policy
Proceeds are taxed to the extent they exceed the investment in the contract1.   Proceeds are taxed to the extent they exceed the investment in the contract.
Making a withdrawal
If you make a withdrawal after your Policy has been In Force for 15 years, you will only be taxed on the amount you withdraw that exceeds the investment in the contract.   You will be taxed on the amount of the withdrawal that’s considered income2, including all previously non-taxed gains.
Special rules apply if you make a withdrawal within the first 15 Policy Years. You may be taxed on all or a portion of the withdrawal amount, and there is a reduction in Policy benefits.    
Taking out a loan
You will not pay tax on the loan amount unless your Policy is surrendered, lapses or matures and you have not repaid your Policy Debt.   You will be taxed on the amount of the loan that’s considered income, including all previously non-taxed gains.
 
1 The investment in the contract is generally the premiums you have paid plus any taxable distributions less any withdrawals or premiums previously recovered that were taxable.
 
2 Income is the difference between the Accumulated Value and the investment in the contract.
 
All Modified Endowment Contracts issued to you in a calendar year by us or our affiliates are treated as a single contract when we calculate whether a distribution amount is subject to tax.
 
10% penalty tax on Modified Endowment Contracts
If any amount you receive from a Modified Endowment Contract is taxable, you may also have to pay a penalty tax equal to 10% of the taxable amount. A taxpayer will not have to pay the penalty tax if any of the following exceptions apply:
 
•  you are at least 591/2 years old
 
•  you are receiving an amount because you have become disabled
 
•  you are receiving an amount that’s part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments, paid out at least annually. These payments may be made for your life or life expectancy or for the joint lives or joint life expectancies of you and your Beneficiaries.
 
Distributions before a Policy becomes a Modified Endowment Contract
If your Policy fails the seven-pay test and becomes a Modified Endowment Contract, any amount you receive or are deemed to have received during the two years before it became a Modified Endowment Contract may be taxable. The distribution would be treated as having been made in anticipation of the Policy’s failing to meet the seven-pay test under Treasury Department regulations which are yet to be prescribed.
 
Federal Estate Taxes
 
From January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2012, the federal estate tax exemption amount is $5,000,000 (indexed for inflation starting January 1, 2012); the maximum estate tax rate is 35%; and, the rules regarding step-up in basis for property transferred at death are reinstated. Also over the same time period, if the executor of the deceased spouse’s estate so elects, a married individual may transfer his or her unused estate tax exemption amount to the last deceased spouse of the surviving spouse.
 
Policy Riders
 
Accelerated Living Benefits Rider
If you exercise an Accelerated Living Benefit Rider, the amounts received under this Rider should be generally excluded from taxable income under Section 101(g) of the Tax Code.
 
However, benefits under the Rider will be taxed if they are paid to someone other than the Insured, and the Insured:
 
•  is a director, officer or employee of the person receiving the benefit, or
 
•  has a financial interest in a business of the person receiving the benefit.
 
In some cases, there may be a question as to whether a life insurance policy that has an Accelerated Living Benefit Rider can meet technical aspects of the definition of “life insurance contract” under the Tax Code. We may reserve the right, but are not obligated, to modify the Rider to conform under Tax Code requirements.
 
Please consult with your tax adviser if you want to exercise your rights under this Rider.

ABOUT PACIFIC LIFE
 
Pacific Life Insurance Company is a life insurance company domiciled in Nebraska. Along with our subsidiaries and affiliates, our operations include life insurance, annuity, pension and institutional products, broker-dealer operations, and investment and advisory services. At the end of 2010, we had $215.5 billion of individual life insurance in force and total admitted assets of approximately $98.8 billion.
 
We are authorized to conduct our life and annuity business in the District of Columbia and in all states except New York. Our executive office is at 700 Newport Center Drive, Newport Beach, California 92660.
 
How Our Accounts Work
 
We own the assets in our General Account and our Separate Account. We allocate your Net Premiums to these accounts according to the Investment Options you have chosen.
 
General Account
Our General Account includes all of our assets, except for those held in our separate accounts. We guarantee you an interest rate for up to one year on any amount allocated to the Fixed Options. The rate is reset annually. The Fixed Options are part of our General Account, which we may invest as we wish, according to any laws that apply. We will credit the guaranteed rate even if the investments we make earn less. Unlike the Separate Account, the General Account is subject to liabilities arising from any of our other business. Our ability to pay these guarantees is backed by our financial strength and claims paying ability as a company. You must look to the company’s strength with regard to policy guarantees. We can provide you with reports of our ratings as an insurance company and our ability to pay claims with respect to our General Account assets.
 
The Fixed Options are not securities, so they do not fall under any securities act. For this reason, the SEC has not reviewed the disclosure in this prospectus about the Fixed Options. However, other federal securities laws may apply to the accuracy and completeness of the disclosure about the Fixed Options.
 
Separate Account
Amounts allocated to the Variable Investment Options are held in our Separate Account. The assets in this account are kept separate from the assets in our General Account and our other separate accounts, and are protected from our general creditors.
 
The Separate Account is divided into Variable Accounts. Each Variable Account invests in shares of a designated portfolio of the Pacific Select Fund, the BlackRock Variable Series Funds, Inc., the Fidelity Variable Insurance Products Funds (“Fidelity VIP Funds”), the Franklin Templeton Variable Insurance Products Trust, the GE Investments Funds, Inc., the Janus Aspen Series, the Lazard Retirement Series, Inc., the Legg Mason Partners Variable Equity Trust, the Lord Abbett Series Fund, Inc., the MFS Variable Insurance Trust, the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, the Royce Capital Fund, the T. Rowe Price Equity Series, Inc. or the Van Eck VIP Trust. We may add Variable Accounts that invest in other portfolios of these Funds or in other securities.
 
We are the legal owner of the assets in the Separate Account, and pay its operating expenses. We do not hold ourselves out to be trustees of the Separate Account assets. The Separate Account is operated only for our variable life insurance policies. Pacific Life is obligated to pay all amounts promised to Policy Owners under the terms of the Policy. We must keep enough money in the account to pay anticipated obligations under the insurance policies funded by the account, but we can transfer any amount that’s more than these anticipated obligations to our General Account. Some of the money in the Separate Account may include charges we collect from the account and any investment results on those charges.
 
We cannot charge the assets in the Separate Account attributable to our reserves and other liabilities under the policies funded by the Separate Account with any liabilities from our other business.
 
Similarly, the income, gains or losses, realized or unrealized, of the assets of any Variable Account belong to that Variable Account and are credited to or charged against the assets held in that Variable Account without regard to our other income, gains or losses.
 
Making changes to the Separate Account
We can add, change or remove any securities that the Separate Account or any Variable Account holds or buys, as long as we comply with the laws that apply.
 
We can substitute shares of one portfolio with shares of another portfolio or Fund if:
 
•  any portfolio is no longer available for investment; or
 
•  our management believes that a portfolio is no longer appropriate in view of the purposes of the Policy.


58



 

 
We will give you any required notice or receive any required approval from Policy Owners or the SEC before we substitute any shares. We will comply with the filing or other procedures established by insurance regulators as required by law.
 
We can add new Variable Accounts, which may include additional subaccounts of the Separate Account, to serve as Investment Options under the Policies. These may be managed separate accounts or they may invest in a new portfolio of the Funds, or in shares of another investment company or one of its portfolios, or in a suitable investment vehicle with a specified investment objective.
 
We can add new Variable Accounts when we believe that it is warranted by marketing needs or investment conditions. We will decide on what basis we will make new Variable Accounts available to existing Policy Owners.
 
We can also eliminate any of our Variable Accounts if we believe marketing, tax or investment conditions warrant it. We can terminate and liquidate any Variable Account.
 
If we make any changes to Variable Accounts or substitution of securities, we can make appropriate changes to this Policy or any of our other policies, by appropriate endorsement, to reflect the change or substitution.
 
If we believe it is in the best interests of people holding voting rights under the Policies and we meet any required regulatory approvals we can do the following:
 
•  operate the Separate Account as a management investment company, unit investment trust, or any other form permitted under securities or other laws
 
•  register or deregister the Separate Account under securities law
 
•  combine the Separate Account with one of our other separate accounts or our affiliates’ separate accounts
 
•  combine one or more Variable Accounts
 
•  create a committee, board or other group to manage the Separate Account
 
•  change the classification of any Variable Account.
 
Taxes we pay
We may be charged for state and local taxes. Currently, we pay these taxes because they are small amounts with respect to the Policy. If these taxes increase significantly, we may deduct them from the Separate Account.
 
We may charge the Separate Account for any federal, state and local taxes that apply to the Separate Account or to our operations. This could happen if our tax status or the tax treatment of variable life insurance changes.
 
Voting Rights
 
We are the legal owner of the shares of the Funds that are held by the Variable Accounts. We may vote on any matter at shareholder meetings of the Funds. However, we are required by law to vote as you instruct on the shares relating to your allocation in a Variable Investment Option. This is called your voting interest.
 
Your voting interest is calculated as of a day set by the Board of Trustees or Board of Directors of a Fund, called the record date. Your voting interest equals the Accumulated Value in a Variable Investment Option divided by the net asset value of a share of the corresponding portfolio. Fractional shares are included. If allowed by law, we may change how we calculate your voting interest.
 
We will send you documents from the Fund called proxy materials. They include information about the items you will be voting on and forms for you to give us your instructions. We will vote shares held in the Separate Account for which we do not receive voting instructions in the same proportion as all other shares in the portfolio held by the Separate Account for which we have received timely instructions. If we do not receive any voting instructions for the shares in a separate account, we will vote the shares in the same proportion as the total votes for all of our separate accounts for which we have received timely instructions. As a result of proportional voting, the votes cast by a small number of policy owners may determine the outcome of a vote.
 
We will vote shares of any portfolio we hold in our General Account in the same proportion as the total votes for all of our separate accounts, including this Separate Account. We will vote shares of any portfolio held by any of our non-insurance affiliates in the same proportion as the total votes for all of our separate accounts and those of our insurance affiliates.
 
If the law changes to allow it, we can vote as we wish on shares of the portfolios held in the Separate Account.
 
When required by state insurance regulatory authorities, we may disregard voting instructions that:
 
•  would change a portfolio’s investment objective or subclassification
 
•  would approve or disapprove an investment advisory contract.


59



 

We may disregard voting instructions on a change initiated by Policy Owners that would change a portfolio’s investment policy, investment adviser or portfolio manager if:
 
•  our disapproval is reasonable
 
•  we determine in good faith that the change would be against state law or otherwise be inappropriate, considering the portfolio’s objectives and purpose, and considering what effect the change would have on us.
 
If we disregard any voting instructions, we will include a summary of the action we took and our reasons for it in the next report to Policy Owners.
 
Distribution Arrangements
 
Pacific Select Distributors, Inc. (“PSD”), a broker-dealer and our subsidiary, pays various forms of sales compensation to broker-dealers (including other affiliates) that solicit applications for the Policies. PSD also may reimburse other expenses associated with the promotion and solicitation of applications for the Policies.
 
We offer the Policies for sale through broker-dealers that have entered into selling agreements with PSD. Broker-dealers sell the Policies through their insurance professionals who have been appointed by us to sell our products. PSD pays compensation to broker-dealers for the promotion and sale of the Policies. The individual insurance professional who sells you a Policy typically will receive a portion of the compensation, under the representative’s own arrangement with his or her broker-dealer.
 
We may also provide compensation to broker-dealers for providing ongoing service in relation to Policies that have already been purchased.
 
Additional Compensation and Revenue Sharing. To the extent permitted by SEC and FINRA rules and other applicable laws and regulations, selling broker dealers may receive additional payments in the form of cash, other special compensation or reimbursement of expenses, sometimes called “revenue sharing”. These additional compensation or reimbursement arrangements may include, for example, payments in connection with the firm’s “due diligence” examination of the Policies, payments for providing conferences or seminars, sales or training programs for invited insurance professionals and other employees, payments for travel expenses, including lodging, incurred by insurance professionals and other employees for such seminars or training programs, seminars for the public, advertising and sales campaigns regarding the Policies, and payments to assist a firm in connection with its administrative systems, operations and marketing expenses and/or other events or activities sponsored by the firms. Subject to applicable FINRA rules and other applicable laws and regulations, PSD and its affiliates may contribute to, as well as sponsor, various educational programs, sales contests and/or promotions in which participating firms and their sales persons may receive prizes such as merchandise, cash, or other awards. Such additional compensation may give us greater access to insurance professionals of the broker-dealers that receive such compensation or may otherwise influence the way that a broker-dealer and insurance professional market the Policies.
 
These arrangements may not be applicable to all firms, and the terms of such arrangements may differ between firms. We provide additional information on special compensation or reimbursement arrangements involving selling firms and other financial institutions in the Statement of Additional Information, which is available upon request. Any such compensation, which may be significant at times, will not result in any additional direct charge to you by us.
 
The compensation and other benefits provided by PSD or its affiliates, may be more or less than the overall compensation on similar or other products. This may influence your insurance professional or broker-dealer to present this Policy over other investment options available in the marketplace. You may ask your insurance professional about these differing and divergent interests, how he/she is personally compensated and how his/her broker-dealer is compensated for soliciting applications for the Policy.
 
We may agree to reduce or waive some or all of the Policy charges and/or credit additional amounts under our Policies, for a Policy sold to an eligible person. An eligible person meets criteria established by us, and may include current and retired officers, directors and employees of us and our affiliates, trustees of the Pacific Select Fund, trustees of Pacific Funds, and immediate family members of such persons. We will credit additional amounts to Policies owned by eligible persons if such Policies are purchased directly through PSD. Under such circumstances, eligible persons will not be afforded the benefit of services of any other broker/dealer nor will commissions be payable to any broker/dealer in connection with such purchases. Eligible persons must contact us directly with servicing questions, Policy changes and other matters relating to their Policies. The amount credited to Policies owned by eligible persons will equal the reduction in expenses we enjoy by not incurring brokerage commissions in selling such Policies, with the determination of the expense reduction and of such crediting being made in accordance with our administrative procedures. These credits will be added to an eligible persons Policy after the Free Look Transfer Date has occurred, or, if premiums are paid using the monthly Electronic Funds Transfer plan, on the first Policy Anniversary.
 
Portfolio managers of the underlying portfolios available under this Policy may help pay for conferences or meetings sponsored by us or PSD relating to management of the portfolios and our variable life insurance products.

Please refer to the SAI for additional information on distribution arrangements and the conflicts of interest that they may present.
 
Service Arrangements
 
We have entered into administrative and/or service agreements with certain Funds which pay us for administrative and other services, including, but not limited to, certain communications and support services. The fees are based on an annual percentage of average daily net assets of certain Fund portfolios purchased by us at Policy Owner’s instructions. Currently, the fees received do not exceed an annual percentage of 0.40% and each Fund may not pay the same annual percentage. Because we receive such fees, we may be subject to competing interests in making these Funds available as Investment Options under the Policies.
 
BlackRock Distributors, Inc., pays us for each BlackRock Variable Series Funds, Inc. portfolio (Class III) held by our separate accounts. Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC) and Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), pays us for each Fidelity VIP Funds portfolio (Service Class 2) held by our separate accounts. Franklin Templeton Variable Insurance Products Trust pays us for each Templeton Global Bond Securities Fund (Class 2) held by our separate accounts. GE Investments Funds, Inc. pays us for each GE Investments Total Return Fund portfolio (Class 3) held by our separate accounts. Janus Capital Management LLC, pays us for each Janus Aspen Series portfolio (Service Class) held by our separate accounts. Lazard Asset Management Securities LLC, pays us for each Lazard Retirement Series, Inc. portfolio held by our separate accounts. Legg Mason Investor Services, LLC, pays us for each Legg Mason Partners Variable Equity Trust portfolio (Class II) held by our separate accounts. Lord Abbett Series Fund, Inc. pays us for each Fundamental Equity Portfolio (Class VC) held by our separate accounts. Massachusetts Financial Services Company, pays us for each MFS Variable Insurance Trust portfolio (Service Class) held by our separate accounts.

T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc., pays us for each T. Rowe Price Equity Series Inc., portfolio (Class II) held by our separate accounts. Van Eck Securities Corporation, pays us for each Van Eck VIP Trust portfolio held by our separate accounts.
 
PSD shall pay American Funds Distributors, Inc. at a rate of 0.16% of premiums up to $1.5 billion, 0.14% of premiums on next $1.5 billion and 0.10% of premiums made in excess, attributable to the Master Funds for certain marketing assistance.
 
Illustrations
 
We will provide you with Illustrations based on different sets of assumptions upon your request.
 
•  Illustrations based on information you give us about the Age of the person to be insured by the Policy, their Risk Class, the Face Amount of all Coverage Layers, the Death Benefit and premium payments.
 
•  Illustrations that show the allocation of premium payments to specified Variable Accounts. These will reflect the expenses of the portfolio of the Fund in which the Variable Account invests.
 
•  Illustrations that use a hypothetical gross rate of return up to 12% are available. Illustrations that use a hypothetical gross rate of return greater than 12% are available only to certain large institutional investors.
 
You can request such Illustrations at any time. Such Illustrations reflect assumptions about the Policy’s non-guaranteed elements and about how you will use the Policy’s options. Over time the Policy’s actual non-guaranteed elements, and your actual use of the Policy’s options, are likely to vary from the assumptions used in such Illustrations. For these reasons, actual Policy values will likely be more or less favorable than shown in such Illustrations. You can get one Policy Illustration free of charge per Policy Year. We reserve the right to charge $25 for each additional Illustration.
 
Lost Policy
 
If you lose your Policy, you may request a Certificate of Coverage free of charge. If you require a duplicate Policy, we may charge a fee of $50 per duplicate. To request a Certificate of Coverage or a duplicate Policy, please contact us for a Certificate of Insurance/Duplicate Policy Request Form.
 
Audits of Premiums/loans
 
You may request us to run a report of premium payments you have made or loan transactions under your Policy. If you request us to provide information for a period of more than 2 years from date of request, we may charge you an administrative fee of $25 for this service.
 
Risk Class Change
 
If you have a change in Risk Class, such as a change in smoking status or health, you can request us to review your Risk Class. Changing your Risk Class may change the rates used for cost of insurance, coverage charge amount and surrender charge charges,


61



 

and may also change the rates on any Riders on your Policy which base charges on Risk Class. We may charge you a fee of up to $100 at the time you request us to change your Risk Class.

MORE ON THE OPTIONAL RIDERS
 
We offer optional Riders that provide extra benefits. Ask your insurance professional for additional information about the Riders available with the Policy. Samples of the provisions for the extra optional benefits are available from us upon Written Request.
 
Accelerated Living Benefits Rider
 
Gives the Policy Owner access to a portion of the Policy’s Death Benefit if the Insured has been diagnosed with a terminal illness resulting in a life expectancy of six months or less (or longer than six months in some states). We refer to this amount as the accelerated benefit. If you have Policy Debt, we will reduce the accelerated benefit proceeds payable to repay a portion of the loan. We may also deduct an administrative fee of $150 from your accelerated benefit.
 
You may choose to receive the accelerated benefit either in a lump sum or any other payment plan available at the time of payment. We will pay the benefit only once per Insured.
 
Payment of the accelerated benefit will reduce the Death Benefit under your Policy and any Riders used in calculating the available accelerated benefit. It will also reduce any Policy Debt.
 
Benefits received under this Rider may be taxable, and may impact your eligibility for Medicaid or other government benefits. Please consult your tax adviser if you want to exercise your rights under this Rider.
 
You may purchase this Rider at Policy issue or any time while the Policy is In Force. The Rider will terminate on the earliest of your Written Request, on lapse or termination of the Policy, or when an accelerated benefit is paid under this Rider.
 
Accidental Death Rider
 
Provides additional insurance coverage when we receive proof that the Insured’s death results directly and independently of all other causes from bodily injuries accidentally sustained, subject to the Rider’s provisions. Death must occur within 120 days of injuries and while the Rider was in effect. You may purchase the Rider at Policy issue for an Insured between Age 5 through 65, subject to satisfactory evidence of insurability. The monthly charge will be shown in your Policy Specifications.
 
The Rider terminates on the earliest of your Written Request, on lapse or termination of the Policy, or when the Insured reaches Age 70.
 
Annual Renewable Term Rider
 
Provides term insurance on the Insured and is renewable annually until the Policy terminates. The Rider is available for Insureds Age 90 or younger at the time of Rider issue. The Rider modifies the Death Benefit of the Policy to include the Face Amount of the Rider, so that the Death Benefit equals the greater of the Death Benefit as calculated under 1) the Death Benefit Option you choose on the Policy plus the Face Amount of the Rider, or 2) the Minimum Death Benefit under the Death Benefit Qualification Test you have chosen. The amount of coverage can be level or vary every year and may follow any pattern, subject to underwriting approval, to match your need for insurance. Annual increases are scheduled at issue. You may also request unscheduled increases or decreases in Face Amount of the Rider, subject to certain limitations.
 
The guaranteed monthly cost of insurance rate and monthly coverage charge will be shown in your Policy Specifications. Our current cost of insurance rates for the Rider are lower than the guaranteed rates. The current charge for this Rider is $0.
 
You may request increases or decreases in Face Amount of the Rider. Each increase will be subject to satisfactory evidence of insurability and will have associated cost of insurance and coverage charges. Unless you request otherwise, the increase will become effective on the first Monthly Payment Date on or following the date we receive and approve your request. We may deduct an administrative charge not to exceed $100 from your Policy’s Accumulated Value on the effective date of any unscheduled increase. You must send a Written


1



 

Request if you wish to decrease the Face Amount of this Rider. Decreases will be effective on the first Monthly Payment Date on or following the date the Written Request is received at our Life Insurance Operations Center. Decreases will first be applied against the most recent increase, if any, and then against successively earlier increases, if any, and finally against the original Annual Renewable Term Rider Face Amount.
 
The Rider will terminate on the earliest of your Written Request, or on lapse or termination of this Policy.
 
Annual Renewable Term Rider – Additional Insured
 
Provides annual renewable term insurance on any member of the Insured’s immediate family who is Age 90 or younger at the time the Rider is issued. We refer to each person insured under the Rider as a covered person. You have the flexibility to delete a covered person from the Rider, or, with satisfactory evidence of insurability, you may add a covered person. We may deduct an administrative charge not to exceed $100 from your Policy’s Accumulated Value on the effective date of any such addition of a covered person.
 
At any time while the Rider is in effect and before any covered person reaches Age 65, you may convert the Rider to a whole life or any higher premium plan we regularly issue at the time of the conversion. The Rider may also be converted during the first two years it is in effect, regardless of the covered person’s Age, or upon the death of the Insured under the Policy. If you convert the Rider, a new Policy will be issued on the covered person and coverage under the Rider will terminate.
 
The guaranteed monthly cost of insurance rates for each covered person will be shown in your Policy Specifications. Our current cost of insurance rates for the Rider are lower than the guaranteed rates.
 
The Rider will terminate on the earliest of your Written Request, on lapse or termination of the Policy, or when the last covered person reaches Age 121.
 
Children’s Term Rider
 
Provides term insurance until Age 25 on any child of the Insured, including a natural child, step-child or adopted child. To be eligible for coverage, the Insured must be Age 55 or younger, and the child must be Age 21 or younger at Policy issue and named in the application for this Rider or born or adopted thereafter. Newborn children are covered from 14 days of age. The term insurance under the Rider may be converted for a new policy on each child on the earlier of the child’s 25th birthday or the date the Insured becomes Age 65, as long as the child is still living. If the Insured dies before the conversion date, the term insurance on each child will become paid-up and a separate policy for the paid-up insurance will be issued with the child as owner. For each child, if you convert the Rider, or if paid-up insurance is issued, coverage for that child under the Rider will terminate. The monthly charge will be shown in your Policy Specifications.
 
Disability Benefit Rider
 
Provides a monthly addition to the Policy’s Accumulated Value when the Insured has a qualifying disability as stated in the Rider provisions, until he or she reaches Age 65. You may purchase the Rider only at Policy issue. The monthly charge for the Rider appears in your Policy Specifications.
 
This Rider is not available if you select a Waiver of Charges Rider.
 
The Rider will terminate on the earliest of your Written Request, on termination of this Policy, or when the Insured becomes Age 60.
 
Guaranteed Insurability Rider
 
Gives the right to buy additional insurance on the life of the Insured on specified dates without proof of insurability. The Rider is available for an Insured who is not in a substandard Risk Class and is Age 37 or younger when the Policy is issued. Subject to certain conditions, you may have some flexibility to change the option dates.
 
Charges and option dates for this Rider appear in your Policy Specifications. To add the additional insurance, we must receive your Written Request within 31 days of the option date for that additional coverage. The increase in


2



 

Face Amount will take effect on the option date if the Insured is then living. Any option not exercised on its option date will expire.
 
The Rider will terminate on the earliest of your Written Request, on lapse or termination of the Policy, or 31 days after the last option date.
 
Surrender Value Enhancement Rider – Individual Rider
 
The guaranteed monthly cost of insurance rate and monthly coverage charge will be shown in your Policy Specifications. Our current cost of insurance rates for the Rider are lower than the guaranteed rates.
 
You may request increases or decreases in Face Amount of the Rider. Each increase will be subject to satisfactory evidence of insurability and will have associated cost of insurance and coverage charges. Unless you request otherwise, the increase will become effective on the first Monthly Payment Date on or following the date we receive and approve your request. We may limit increases of Rider Face Amount to one per Policy year. We may deduct an administrative charge not to exceed $100 from your Policy’s Accumulated Value on the effective date of any unscheduled increase. Decreases will be effective on the first Monthly Payment Date on or following the date the Written Request is received at our Life Insurance Operations Center. A Face Amount decrease of this Rider will not decrease the Coverage Charge. Decreases will first be applied against the most recent increase, if any, and then against successively earlier increases, if any, and finally against the original Surrender Value Enhancement Rider – Individual Rider Face Amount.
 
The Rider will terminate on the earliest of your Written Request, or on lapse or termination of this Policy.
 
Surrender Value Enhancement Rider – Trust/Executive Benefit
 
The charges for this Rider will be shown in the Policy Specifications. The total monthly charge is comprised of three components:
 
  •  the rider coverage charge
  •  the rider cost of insurance charge; and
  •  the termination credit charge.
 
While this Rider is in effect:
 
  1.  The Rider modifies the Death Benefit of the Policy to include the Face Amount of the Rider, so that the Death Benefit as calculated under the Death Benefit Option you choose on the Policy is increased by the Face Amount of the Rider.
 
  2.  If you surrender the Policy, we will pay you a termination credit in addition to the Net Cash Surrender Value, unless either of the following is true:
 
  •  the Policy is surrendered in connection with the purchase of a replacement life insurance policy including, but not limited to, a replacement intended to qualify as a tax free exchange under Section 1035 of the Tax Code; or
  •  the Owner at the time of Policy surrender is different from the Owner on the Policy application, and the Owner at the time of Policy surrender is a life insurance company.
 
You may request increases or decreases in Face Amount of the Rider. Each increase will be subject to satisfactory evidence of insurability and will have associated Rider coverage charges and Rider cost of insurance charges. Unless you request otherwise, the increase will become effective on the first Monthly Payment Date on or following the date we receive and approve your request. Each increase in Rider Face Amount has its own Rider coverage charge and Rider cost of insurance charge, which will be shown on a supplemental schedule of coverage sent to you at the time of the increase. We may deduct an administrative charge not to exceed $100 from your Policy’s Accumulated Value on the effective date of an increase.
 
Decreases will be effective on the first Monthly Payment Date on or following the date the Written Request is received at our Life Insurance Operations Center. A Face Amount decrease of this Rider will not decrease the Coverage Charge. Decreases will first be applied against the most recent increase, if any, and then against

successively earlier increases, if any, and finally against the original Surrender Value Enhancement Rider – Trust/Executive Benefit Face Amount.
 
The termination credit added to your Net Cash Surrender Value if you surrender your Policy is calculated in two parts, and is the sum of the results of the two calculations, except if Termination Credit Part 1 equals zero, then Termination Credit Part 2 will also be zero.
 
Termination Credit Part 1 equals A × B where:
 
         
A
  =   the termination credit percentage; and
B
  =   the termination credit basis.
 
Termination Credit Part 2 equals the greater of zero and C × D × (E − (F/G)), where:
 
         
C
  =   the termination credit factor;
D
  =   the lesser of 60 and the number of whole Policy months that have elapsed;
E
  =   the maximum annual termination credit basis;
F
  =   the sum of premiums paid; and
G
  =   1 + the number of whole Policy Years elapsed.
 
The initial termination credit percentage, and the termination credit factor and maximum annual termination credit basis are shown in your Policy Specifications for this Rider. We may reduce the schedule of termination credit percentages, and even reduce such percentages to zero, but not until at least 30 days after we have sent you revised Policy Specifications that show the reduced termination credit percentages. Any such reduced schedule of termination credit percentages will apply uniformly to all members of the same Class.
 
The termination credit basis is the lesser of (a − c) or (b − c), where:
 
         
a
  =   the total amount of premiums paid on the Policy;
b
  =   the maximum annual termination credit basis, multiplied by 1 + the number of whole Policy Years elapsed; and
c
  =   the total amount of any withdrawals you have taken from your Policy’s Accumulated Value.
 
If the Insured dies while the Rider is in effect, the Termination Credit will be added to the Accumulated Value prior to calculating the Death Benefit under the Death Benefit Qualification Test.
 
This Rider will terminate on the earliest of your Written Request or termination of the Policy.
 
Waiver of Charges Rider
 
Waives any monthly cost of insurance charges, administrative charges and coverage charges for the Policy, and any monthly cost of any Rider benefits which fall due while the Insured is totally disabled, under the provisions of the Rider. We will not waive any charges that are due more than one year before we receive proof of total disability, or which fall due before the Insured’s Age 5. The monthly charge for the Rider appears in your Policy Specifications.
 
The Rider is available for Insureds Age 55 or younger who are not in a substandard Risk Class. You may purchase the Rider at Policy issue or any time while the Policy is In Force. If you request to purchase the Rider after your Policy is issued, we may charge you an underwriting service fee of $100 at the time of your request. If regular evidence of insurability for new life insurance is being submitted, no additional evidence of insurability for a Waiver of Charges Rider is usually needed. If you apply for an increase in Face Amount under an insurability option or conversion option, and if the Waiver of Charges Rider was included in the original coverage, the evidence needed to include the Waiver of Charges Rider on the new insurance is a statement that the Insured is not totally disabled. Except as stated above, satisfactory evidence of insurability is required.
 
This Rider is not available if you select a Disability Benefit Rider.
 
The Rider will terminate (without affecting any claim for disability occurring before such termination) on the earliest of your Written Request, on lapse or termination of this Policy, or when the Insured reaches Age 60.

PREMIUM LIMITATIONS
 
Federal tax law puts limits on the amount of premium payments you can make in relation to your Policy’s Death Benefit. These limits apply in the following situations.
 
Guideline Premium Limit
 
If you have chosen the Guideline Premium Test as your Death Benefit Qualification Test, the total amount you can pay in premiums and still have your Policy qualify as life insurance is your Policy’s Guideline Premium Limit. The sum of the premiums paid, less any withdrawals, at any time cannot exceed the Guideline Premium Limit, which is the greater of:
 
  •  the guideline single premium or
  •  the sum of the guideline level annual premiums.
 
We may refuse to accept all or part of a premium payment if, by accepting it, you will exceed your Policy’s Guideline Premium Limit. If we find that you have exceeded your Guideline Premium Limit, we may remove all or part of a premium you have paid from your Policy as of the day we applied it, and return it to you. We will adjust the Death Benefit retroactively to that date to reflect the reduction in premium payments.
 
Your Policy’s guideline single premium and guideline level annual premiums appear on your Policy Specifications. Before you buy a Policy, you can ask us or your insurance professional for a personalized Illustration that will show you the guideline single premium and guideline level annual premiums.
 
Modified Endowment Contract
 
A life insurance policy will become a Modified Endowment Contract if the sum of premium payments made during the first seven contract years, less a portion of withdrawals, exceeds the seven-pay limit defined in Section 7702A of the Internal Revenue Code. You will find a detailed discussion of Modified Endowment Contracts in Variable Life Insurance and Your Taxes in the prospectus.
 
Unless you have told us in writing that you want your Policy to become a Modified Endowment Contract, we will remove all or part of the premium payment from your Policy as of the day we applied it and return it to you. We will also adjust the Death Benefit retroactively to that date to reflect the reduction in premium payments. If we receive such a premium within 20 days before your Policy Anniversary, we will hold it and apply it to your Policy on the Policy Anniversary.
 
In both of these situations, if we remove an excess premium from your Policy, we will return the premium amount to you no later than 60 days after the end of the Policy Year. We may adjust the amount for interest or for changes in Accumulated Value that relate to the amount of the excess premium we are returning to you.
 
If we do not return the premium amount to you within that time, we will increase your Policy’s Death Benefit retroactively, to the day we applied the premium, and prospectively so that it is always the amount necessary to ensure your Policy qualifies as life insurance, or to prevent it from becoming a Modified Endowment Contract. If we increase your Death Benefit, we will adjust cost of insurance or Rider charges retroactively and prospectively to reflect the increase.
 
Increasing the Net Amount At Risk
 
An increase in the Net Amount At Risk occurs if the Policy’s Death Benefit is equal to the Minimum Death Benefit, or would be equal to it once we apply your premium payment. We may choose to accept your premium payment in this situation, but before we do so, we may require satisfactory evidence of the insurability of the Insured.
 
TRANSFER SERVICES
 
You may only participate in one transfer service at any time.


5



 

 
Dollar Cost Averaging
 
Our dollar cost averaging service allows you to make scheduled transfers of $50 or more between Variable Investment Options without paying a transfer fee. Here’s how the service works:
 
  •  You can set up this service at any time while your Policy is In Force.
  •  You need to complete a request form to enroll in the service. You may enroll by telephone or electronically if we have your completed telephone and electronic authorization on file.
  •  You must have at least $5,000 in a Variable Investment Option to start the service.
  •  We will automatically transfer Accumulated Value from one Variable Investment Option to one or more of the other Variable Investment Options you have selected.
  •  We will process transfers as of the end of the Business Day on your Policy’s monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual anniversary, depending on the interval you have chosen.
  •  We will not charge you for the dollar cost averaging service or for transfers made under this service, even if we decide to charge you in the future for transfers outside of the service, except if we have to by law.
  •  We have the right to discontinue, modify or suspend the service at any time.
  •  We will keep making transfers at the intervals you have chosen until one of the following happens:
• the total amount you have asked us to transfer has been transferred
• there is no more Accumulated Value in the Investment Option you are transferring from
• your Policy enters the grace period and is in danger of lapsing
• we receive your Written Request to cancel the service
• we discontinue the service.
 
Portfolio Rebalancing
 
The portfolio rebalancing service automatically transfers your Policy’s Accumulated Value among the Variable Investment Options according to your original percentage allocations. Here’s how the service works:
 
  •  You can set up this service at any time while your Policy is In Force.
  •  You enroll in the service by sending us a Written Request or a completed Automatic Rebalancing Form. You may enroll by telephone or electronically if we have your completed telephone and electronic authorization on file.
  •  Unless you choose a different start date, your first rebalancing will take place at the end of the Business Day we receive your request. Subsequent rebalancing will take place at the end of the Business Day on your Policy’s quarterly, semiannual or annual anniversary, depending on the interval you chose.
  •  If you cancel this service, you must wait 30 days to begin it again.
  •  We do not charge for the portfolio rebalancing service, and we do not currently charge for transfers made under this service.
  •  We can discontinue, suspend or change the service at any time.
 
Fixed Option Interest Sweep
 
The Fixed Option interest sweep service allows you to make scheduled transfers of the accumulated interest earnings from your Fixed Account or Fixed LT Account to the Variable Investment Options. Here’s how the service works:

  •  You enroll in the service by sending us a Written Request.
  •  You may enroll by telephone or electronically if we have your completed telephone and electronic authorization on file.
  •  If you cancel this service, you must wait 30 days to begin it again.
  •  We do not charge for the Fixed Option interest sweep service, and we do not currently charge for transfers made under this service.
  •  We can discontinue, suspend or change the service at any time.
  •  Interest earnings transferred from the Fixed Options to the Variable Investment Options are excluded from the transfer limitations.

WITHDRAWAL FEATURES
 
Automated Income Option
 
Our automated income option (“AIO”) program allows you to make scheduled withdrawals or loans. Here’s how the program works:
 
  •  You can set up the income stream from your Policy on either a monthly or annual basis. Each scheduled income payment must be at least $500 if you choose to receive monthly payments, or $1,000 if you choose annual payments.
  •  You may choose to receive either a fixed amount of income or an amount based on a fixed duration. Depending upon your objectives, you may wish to reduce your Face Amount or change your Policy’s Death Benefit Option in order to maximize your income.
  •  You choose the scheduled income payment date. You may elect to have your income payments sent either by check or by electronic deposit to a bank account. The effective date of the withdrawal or loan will be the Business Day before any income payment date.
  •  If the scheduled income payment date falls on a weekend or holiday, the actual income payment date will be the Business Day before the scheduled income payment date.
  •  The withdrawal or loan will be taken from your Policy’s Investment Options in proportion to the Accumulated Value in each Investment Option.
 
Upon our receipt of your AIO request form, we will run a hypothetical Illustration to determine if your request can be fulfilled, or if any adjustments will be necessary. We use the Illustration to test your Policy for the minimum Net Cash Surrender Value requirement. Your Policy must continue to have an illustrated Net Cash Surrender Value at the maturity date sufficient to meet the minimum Accumulated Value required to allow for payment of Policy charges, including Policy loan interest.
 
Illustrations generally will be run at an annual gross earnings rate chosen by you, not to exceed 10%. No earnings rate used is a guarantee or indication of actual earnings.
 
We will complete an AIO agreement form, and send it and the Illustration to your insurance professional for delivery to you. The AIO agreement form will confirm your income payment amount, frequency and duration, and will also confirm your Policy’s cost basis and other information about your elections under the AIO program.
 
Unless you request otherwise, distributions under the AIO program will be taken first as withdrawals if not taxable, then they will be taken as loans.
 
Payments under the AIO program will begin as scheduled once we receive your signed AIO agreement form. We will send you a letter confirming the date and amount of the first income payment.
 
The income payments will usually remain constant during each income period, unless there is insufficient Net Cash Surrender Value to make a payment. The duration of each income period is one year, except that the first income period may differ depending on the following:
 
  •  If the AIO program start date is six months or more from your next Policy Anniversary, the income period will end on the next Policy Anniversary. In this case, the first income period will last at least six months, but not more than one year.
  •  If the AIO program start date is less than six months from your next Policy Anniversary, the income period will extend to the following Policy Anniversary. In this case, the first income period will last at least one year, but no more than 18 months.
 
After the first income period, and each year you remain in the AIO program, we will run an Illustration after each Policy Anniversary. The Illustration will generally be run at a rate chosen by you, not to exceed a gross annual rate of 10%. Your Policy must continue to have an illustrated Net Cash Surrender Value at the maturity date sufficient to meet the minimum Accumulated Value required to allow for payment of Policy charges, including Policy loan interest. There is no charge for Illustrations we run in connection with the AIO program. They do not count toward your one free Illustration per year.


7



 

We will send you a letter and the Illustration to notify you of any changes in your income payment amount or duration. The new income payment amount will be effective on the income payment date following the previous income period.
 
Over time, your Policy’s actual performance, and perhaps your use of the Policy’s options are likely to vary from the assumptions used in the Illustrations. Changes in your Policy’s Investment Option allocations can impact your future values and income you receive. Your Policy may also be susceptible to lapse.
 
You are responsible to monitor your Policy’s Accumulated Value to ensure your Policy is not in danger of lapsing. You may need to make additional premium payments or loan repayments to prevent your Policy from lapsing. You will not receive a notice to remind you of your scheduled premium payments while you are in the AIO program.
 
MORE ON POLICY CHARGES
 
Underwriting Methods and Nonstandard Ratings
 
We normally use the medical or paramedical method to assign underwriting or insurance Risk Classes, which may require a medical examination. We offer two additional forms of underwriting for executive and employee groups that meet specified multi-life guidelines.
 
Guaranteed issue may be available where an employer-employee relationship exists and where at least 10 lives will be insured. To be eligible, prospective Insureds must be employed in an occupation or industry we consider an acceptable risk, must be full time employees or executives, and must be actively at work on a continuous basis during the 3-month period preceding application for insurance. Maximum Age for an Insured at Policy issue is usually 65, but may be increased to Age 70 if representing less than 5% of the group of Insureds. Cost of insurance rates distinguish between executive only groups and all-employee groups, instead of on individual underwriting information.
 
Simplified issue may be offered where the group does not qualify for guaranteed issue. Simplified issue is a process of limited underwriting using a short form application that includes health and avocation questions to be completed by each prospective Insured. We may request additional information, including an attending physician’s statement, but will not require a physical examination. Simplified issue is available to executives only, under similar criteria as guaranteed issue, except for lower participation levels and generally higher death benefits permitted per life. Cost of insurance rates are based on both individual underwriting information and executive class experience.
 
The current cost of insurance rates are generally higher for Policies issued under the guaranteed issue or simplified issue underwriting methods than for Policies issued under the fully underwritten medical or paramedical underwriting method. Guaranteed cost of insurance charges are not affected.
 
The guaranteed rates include the insurance risks associated with insuring one person. They are calculated using 2001 Commissioners Standard Ordinary Mortality Tables (gender blended tables are used for unisex cost of insurance rates). The rates are also based on the Age and gender of the Insured unless unisex rates are required.
 
If we determine from the application for insurance, or any later evidence of insurability, that the Insured presents a risk not accounted for by our standard Risk Classes, typically due to medical history, profession or hobby, we may still issue a Coverage Layer with higher or additional charges, referred to as a nonstandard rating. Most insurance companies have a similar process. The Policy charges may be multiplied by a nonstandard table factor. In certain cases, there may be an additional flat-rate charge for a period specified at the time the Coverage Layer is issued. If we determine that a nonstandard rating applies to your Coverage Layer, you will be notified of the applicable charges, inclusive of any additional rate or charge, at the time the Coverage Layer is issued.
 
Changes in Face Amount
 
Net Premiums you pay are allocated to the Accumulated Value in your base Policy and any charges, withdrawals and distributions are subtracted from that Accumulated Value.


8



 

 
Instead, to determine the cost of insurance charge on each Coverage Layer, as described in the prospectus under Your Policy’s Accumulated Value, we discount the total Death Benefit for all Coverage Layers that would have been payable at the beginning of the Policy month and subtract the Accumulated Value in the base Policy at the beginning of the month before the monthly charge is due to determine the total Net Amount At Risk for all Coverage Layers. We then prorate the Net Amount At Risk for each Coverage Layer in the same proportion that the Face Amount of each Coverage Layer bears to the Total Face Amount for all Coverage Layers. The Net Amount At Risk for each Coverage Layer is multiplied by the current COI rate for that Coverage Layer.
 
If you elect Death Benefit Option C, your Death Benefit on the base Policy is your base Policy’s Face Amount plus any premium payments you make and less any withdrawals and distributions, subject to a maximum Death Benefit disclosed in your Policy Specifications. If you elect Death Benefit Option C and your Policy’s Death Benefit equals the maximum Death Benefit as shown in your Policy Specifications, the Death Benefit provided by each Coverage Layer will be reduced proportionately for purposes of calculating the Net Amount At Risk. Unless you tell us which Coverage Layer(s) to reduce.
 
MORE ON VARIABLE LIFE INSURANCE AND YOUR TAXES
 
This discussion about taxes is based on our understanding of the present federal income tax laws as they are currently interpreted by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). It is based on the Internal Revenue Code (the Tax Code) and does not cover any state or local tax laws. This is not a complete discussion of all federal income tax questions that may arise under the Policy. There are special rules that we do not include here that may apply in certain situations.
 
We do not make any guarantees about the tax status of your Policy, and you should not consider the discussion that follows to be tax advice. Speak to a qualified tax adviser for complete information about federal, state and local taxes that may apply to you.
 
We do not know whether the current treatment of life insurance policies under current federal income tax or estate or gift tax laws will continue. We also do not know whether the current interpretations of the laws by the IRS or the courts will remain the same. Future legislation may adversely change the tax treatment of life insurance policies, other tax consequences described in this discussion and in the Policy prospectus section Variable Life Insurance and Your Taxes or tax consequences that relate directly or indirectly to life insurance policies.
 
Mortality and Expense Charges
 
The Tax Code and tax regulations impose limitations on unreasonable mortality and expense charges for purposes of determining whether a policy qualifies as life insurance for federal tax purposes. For life insurance policies entered into on or after October 21, 1988, these calculations must be based upon reasonable mortality charges and other charges reasonably expected to be actually paid.
 
The Treasury Department has issued proposed regulations about reasonable standards for mortality charges. While we believe that our mortality costs and other expenses used in calculating whether the Policy qualifies as life insurance are reasonable under current laws, we cannot be sure that the IRS agrees with us. We can change our mortality charges if we believe the changes are needed to ensure that your Policy qualifies as a life insurance Policy.
 
Investor Control
 
For a variable life insurance policy to qualify for tax deferral, assets in the separate accounts supporting the Policy must be considered to be owned by the insurance company and not by the policy owner. Under current U.S. tax law, if a policy owner has excessive control over the investments made by a separate account, or the underlying fund, the policy owner will be taxed currently on income and gains from the account or fund. In other words, in such a case of “investor control” the policy owner would not derive the tax benefits normally associated with variable life insurance.


9



 

 
The application of the investor control doctrine is subject to some uncertainty. Generally, according to the IRS, there are two ways that impermissible investor control may exist. The first relates to the design of the Policy or the relationship between the Policy and a separate account or underlying fund. For example, at various times, the IRS has focused on, among other factors, the number and type of investment choices available pursuant to a given Policy, whether the Policy offers access to funds that are available to the general public, the number of transfers that a policy owner may make from one investment option to another, and the degree to which a policy owner may select or control particular investments.
 
With respect to this first aspect of investor control, we believe that the design of our Policies and the relationship between our Policies and the portfolios satisfy the current view of the IRS on this subject, such that the investor control doctrine should not apply. However, because of some uncertainty with respect to this subject and because the IRS may issue further guidance on this subject, we reserve the right to make such changes as we deem necessary or appropriate to reduce the risk that your Policy might not qualify as a life insurance policy for tax purposes.
 
The second way that impermissible investor control might exist concerns your actions. Under the IRS pronouncements, you may not select or control particular investments, other than choosing among broad investment choices such as selecting a particular portfolio. You may not select or direct the purchase or sale of a particular investment of a portfolio. All investment decisions concerning the portfolios must be made by the portfolio manager for such portfolio in his or her sole and absolute discretion, and not by the policy owner.
 
Furthermore, under the IRS pronouncements, you may not communicate directly or indirectly with such a portfolio manager or any related investment officers concerning the selection, quality, or rate of return of any specific investment or group of investments held by a portfolio.
 
Finally, the IRS may issue additional guidance on the investor control doctrine, which might further restrict your actions or features of the Policy. Such guidance could be applied retroactively. If any of the rules outlined above are not complied with, the IRS may seek to tax you currently on income and gains from a portfolio such that you would not derive the tax benefits normally associated with variable life insurance. Although highly unlikely, such an event may have an adverse impact on the Fund and other Policies. We urge you to consult your own tax adviser with respect to the application of the investor control doctrine.
 
Comparison to Taxable Investments
 
With respect to taxable investments, current tax law generally provides for a maximum tax rate for individual taxpayers, or entities taxed at the individual level, of 15% on long-term capital gains and on certain “qualifying dividends” on corporate stock. The long-term capital gains rate does not apply to corporations. Corporations pay tax based upon the corporate tax rate, which, depending upon income, may be higher than the long-term capital tax rate for individuals. An individual taxpayer will also have to satisfy a more than 60-day holding period with respect to any distributions of qualifying dividends in order to obtain the benefit of the lower tax rate. Earnings from non-qualifying dividends, interest income, other types of ordinary income and short-term capital gains will be taxed at the ordinary income tax rate applicable to the taxpayer.
 
These rules mean that for policyholders who are individuals the tax-related advantage of life insurance compared to certain taxable investments is reduced because the tax burden applicable to long-term capital gains and from certain “qualifying dividends” on corporate stock may be less than the individual’s ordinary income tax rate which is applied to taxable distributions from a life insurance Policy.
 
MORE ON PACIFIC LIFE AND THE POLICIES
 
How We Are Organized
 
Pacific Life was established on January 2, 1868 under the name, Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Company of California. It was reincorporated as Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Company on July 22, 1936. On September 1, 1997, Pacific Life converted from a mutual life insurance company to a stock life insurance company. Pacific


10



 

Life redomesticated to Nebraska on September 1, 2005. Pacific Life is a subsidiary of Pacific LifeCorp, a holding company, which in turn is a subsidiary of Pacific Mutual Holding Company, a mutual holding company.
 
Under their charters, Pacific Mutual Holding Company must always hold at least 51% of the outstanding voting stock of Pacific LifeCorp. Pacific LifeCorp must always own 100% of the voting stock of Pacific Life. Owners of Pacific Life’s annuity contracts and life insurance policies have certain membership interests in Pacific Mutual Holding Company. They have the right to vote on the election of the Board of Directors of the mutual holding company and on other matters. They also have certain rights if the mutual holding company is liquidated or dissolved.
 
Distribution Arrangements
 
Pacific Select Distributors, Inc. (PSD), our subsidiary, acts as the distributor of the Policies. PSD is located at 700 Newport Center Drive, Newport Beach, California 92660. PSD is registered as a broker-dealer with the SEC and is a member of FINRA. We pay PSD for acting as distributor under a distribution agreement. We and PSD enter into selling agreements with broker-dealers whose insurance professionals are authorized by state insurance departments to sell the Policies.
 
The aggregate amount of underwriting commissions paid to PSD with regard to 2010, 2009 and 2008 was $11,214,721.33, $14,604,806.59 and $490,119.92 respectively, of which $0 was retained.
 
PSD or an affiliate pays various sales compensation to broker-dealers that solicit applications for the Policies. PSD or an affiliate also may provide reimbursement for other expenses associated with the promotion and solicitation of applications for the Policies. Commissions are based on “target” premiums we determine. The commissions we pay vary with the agreement, but the most common schedule of commissions we pay is:
 
  •  100% of premiums paid up to the first target premium
  •  2% of premiums paid thereafter.
 
A target premium is a hypothetical premium that is used only to calculate commissions. It varies with the Death Benefit Option you choose, the Age of the Insured on the Policy Date, and the gender (unless unisex rates are required) and Risk Class of the Insured. A Policy’s target premium will usually be less than, but generally does not exceed 105% of, the Policy’s guideline level premiums. Before you buy a Policy, you can ask us or your insurance professional for a personalized Illustration that shows you the guideline single premium and guideline level premiums.
 
Your insurance professional typically receives a portion of the compensation that is payable to his or her broker-dealer in connection with the Policy, depending on the agreement between your insurance professional and his or her firm. Pacific Life is not involved in determining that compensation arrangement, which may present its own incentives or conflicts. You may ask your insurance professional how he/she will personally be compensated for the transaction.
 
PSD or an affiliate may pay broker-dealers an annual renewal commission of up to 0.20% of a Policy’s Accumulated Value less any Policy Debt. We calculate the renewal amount monthly and it becomes payable on each Policy Anniversary.
 
In addition to the commissions described above, we and/or an affiliate may pay additional cash compensation from their own resources in connection with the promotion and solicitation of applications for the Policies by some, but not all, broker-dealers. The range of additional cash compensation based on premium payments usually ranges from 0% to 35% of premiums paid up to the first target premium, but generally does not exceed 1.50% of commissions paid on premium thereafter. Such additional compensation may give Pacific Life greater access to insurance professionals of the broker-dealers that receive such compensation. While this greater access provides the opportunity for training and other educational programs so that your insurance professional may serve you better, this additional compensation also may afford Pacific Life a “preferred” status at the recipient broker-dealer and provide some other marketing benefit such as website placement, access to insurance professional lists, extra marketing assistance, or other heightened visibility and access to the broker-dealer’s sales force that otherwise influences the way that the broker-dealer and the insurance professional market the Policies.

As of December 31, 2010, the following firms have arrangements in effect with PSD pursuant to which the firms entitled to receive a revenue sharing payment: AIM Systems Inc, Axa Advisors LLC, Benefit Funding Services, CBIZ Financial Solutions, Commonwealth Financial Network, Financial Network Investment Corp, Financial Services Corp, First Allied Securities, First Heartland Securities, Linsco Private Ledger, M Financial Holdings Inc, Money Concepts, Multi Financial, National Financial Partners, National Financial Partners Insurance Services, National Planning Corp, Newbridge Financial, Next Financial, NFP Securities, Ogilvie Securities, PEPCO, Ramkade Financial, Royal Alliance, Sagepoint Financial, Securities America, Summit Brokerage, The Strategic Financial Alliance, Towersquare Securities, United Planners, USA Advanced Planners, Walnut Street Securities, Woodbury Financial Services and World Group Securities.
 
We or our affiliates may also pay other override payments, expense allowances and reimbursements, bonuses, wholesaler fees, and training and marketing allowances. Such payments may offset the broker-dealer’s expenses in connection with activities that it is required to perform, such as educating personnel and maintaining records. Insurance professionals may also receive non-cash compensation such as expense-paid educational or training seminars involving travel within and outside the U.S. or promotional merchandise.
 
All of the compensation described in this section, and other compensation or benefits provided by us or our affiliates, may be more or less than the overall compensation on similar or other products and may influence your insurance professional or broker-dealer to present this Policy over other investment options. You may ask your insurance professional about these differing and divergent interests and how he/she and his/her broker-dealer are compensated for selling the Policy.
 
Portfolio managers of the underlying portfolios of Pacific Select Fund available under this Policy may from time to time bear all or a portion of the expenses of conferences or meetings sponsored by Pacific Life or PSD that are attended by, among others, insurance professionals of PSD, who would receive information and/or training regarding the Fund’s portfolios and their management by the portfolio managers in addition to information respecting the variable annuity and/or life insurance products issued by Pacific Life and its affiliates. Other persons may also attend all or a portion of any such conferences or meetings, including directors, officers and employees of Pacific Life, officers and trustees of Pacific Select Fund, and spouses/guests of the foregoing. The Pacific Select Fund’s Board of Trustees may hold meetings concurrently with such a conference or meeting. The Pacific Select Fund pays for the expenses of the meetings of its Board of Trustees, including the pro rata share of expenses for attendance by the Trustees at the concurrent conferences or meetings sponsored by Pacific Life or PSD. Additional expenses and promotional items may be paid for by Pacific Life and/or portfolio managers. PSD serves as the Pacific Select Fund’s distributor.
 
The Separate Account
 
The Separate Account was established on May 12, 1988 under California law under the authority of our Board of Directors, and is now governed by the laws of the State of Nebraska as a result of Pacific Life’s redomestication to Nebraska on September 1, 2005. It is registered with the SEC as a type of investment company called a unit investment trust. The SEC does not oversee the administration or investment practices or policies of the Separate Account.
 
The Separate Account is not the only investor in the Funds. Investments in the Funds by other separate accounts for variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts could cause conflicts. For more information, please see the Statement of Additional Information for the Funds.
 
Performance
 
Performance information may appear in advertisements, sales literature, or reports to Policy Owners or prospective buyers.
 
Information about performance of any Variable Account of the Separate Account reflects only the performance of a hypothetical Policy. The calculations are based on allocating the hypothetical Policy’s Accumulated Value to the Variable Account during a particular time period.


12



 

Performance information is no guarantee of how a portfolio or Variable Account will perform in the future. You should keep in mind the investment objectives and policies, characteristics and quality of the portfolio of the Fund in which the Variable Account invests, and the market conditions during the period of time that’s shown.
 
We may show performance information in any way that’s allowed under the law that applies to it. This may include presenting a change in Accumulated Value due to the performance of one or more Variable Accounts, or as a change in a Policy Owner’s Death Benefit.
 
We may show performance as a change in Accumulated Value over time or in terms of the average annual compounded rate of return on Accumulated Value. This would be based on allocating premium payments for a hypothetical Policy to a particular Variable Account over certain periods of time, including one year, or from the day the Variable Account started operating. If a portfolio has existed for longer than its corresponding Variable Account, we may also show the hypothetical returns that the Variable Account would have achieved had it invested in the portfolio from the day the portfolio started operating.
 
Performance may reflect the deduction of all Policy charges including premium load, the cost of insurance, the administrative charge, and the mortality and expense risk charge. The different Death Benefit Options will result in different expenses for the cost of insurance, and the varying expenses will result in different Accumulated Values.
 
Performance may also reflect the deduction of the surrender charge, if it applies, by assuming the hypothetical Policy is surrendered at the end of the particular period. At the same time, we may give other performance figures that do not assume the Policy is surrendered and do not reflect any deduction of the surrender charge.
 
We may also show performance of the underlying portfolios based on the change in value of a hypothetical investment over time or in terms of the average annual compounded return over time. Performance of the portfolios will not reflect the deduction of Policy charges. If Policy charges were reflected, the performance would be lower.
 
In our advertisements, sales literature and reports to Policy Owners, we may compare performance information for a Variable Account to:
 
  •  other variable life separate accounts, mutual funds, or investment products tracked by research firms, rating services, companies, publications, or persons who rank separate accounts or investment products on overall performance or other criteria
  •  the Consumer Price Index, to assess the real rate of return from buying a Policy by taking inflation into consideration
  •  various indices that are unmanaged.
 
Reports and promotional literature may also contain our rating or a rating of our claims paying ability. These ratings are set by firms that analyze and rate insurance companies and by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations.
 
Yields
 
The yield or total return of any Variable Account or portfolio does not reflect the deduction of Policy charges.
 
Cash Management Variable Account
 
The “yield” (also called “current yield”) of the Cash Management Variable Account is computed in accordance with a standard method prescribed by the SEC. The net change in the Variable Account’s unit value during a seven-day period is divided by the unit value at the beginning of the period to obtain a base rate of return. The current yield is generated when the base rate is “annualized” by multiplying it by the fraction 365/7; that is, the base rate of return is assumed to be generated each week over a 365-day period and is shown as a percentage of the investment. The “effective yield” of the Cash Management Variable Account is calculated similarly but, when annualized, the base rate of return is assumed to be reinvested. The effective yield will be slightly higher than the current yield because of the compounding effect of this assumed reinvestment.
 
The formula for effective yield is: [(Base Period Return + 1)(To the power of 365/7)] − 1.


13



 

Realized capital gains or losses and unrealized appreciation or depreciation of the assets of the underlying Cash Management portfolio are not included in the yield calculation.
 
Other Variable Accounts
 
“Yield” of the other Variable Accounts is computed in accordance with a different standard method prescribed by the SEC. For each Variable Account, the net investment income (investment income less expenses) per accumulation unit earned during a specified one month or 30-day period is divided by the unit value on the last day of the specified period. This result is then annualized (that is, the yield is assumed to be generated each month or each 30-day period for a year), according to the following formula, which assumes semiannual compounding:
 
             
    YIELD = 2[(   a − b
cd
  + 1)6 − 1]
 
             
where:
  a   =   net investment income earned during the period by the underlying portfolio of the Variable Account,
    b   =   expenses accrued for the period (net of reimbursements),
    c   =   the average daily number of accumulation units outstanding during the period that were entitled to receive dividends, and
    d   =   the unit value of the accumulation units on the last day of the period.
 
The Variable Accounts’ yields will vary from time to time depending upon market conditions, the composition of each portfolio and operating expenses of the Fund allocated to each portfolio. Consequently, any given performance quotation should not be considered representative of the Variable Account’s performance in the future. Yield should also be considered relative to changes in unit values and to the relative risks associated with the investment policies and objectives of the various portfolios. In addition, because performance will fluctuate, it may not provide a basis for comparing the yield of a Variable Account with certain bank deposits or other investments that pay a fixed yield or return for a stated period of time.
 
Cash Management portfolio
 
Current yield for the Cash Management portfolio will be based on the change in the value of a hypothetical investment (exclusive of capital charges) over a particular 7-day period, less a pro-rata share of portfolio expenses accrued over that period (the “base period”), and stated as a percentage of the investment at the start of the base period (the “base period return”). The base period return is then annualized by multiplying by 365/7, with the resulting yield figure carried to at least the nearest hundredth of one percent. “Effective yield” for the Cash Management portfolio assumes that all dividends received during an annual period have been reinvested. Calculation of “effective yield” begins with the same “base period return” used in the calculation of yield, which is then annualized to reflect weekly compounding pursuant to the following formula:
 
Effective Yield: [(Base Period Return + 1)(To the power of 365/7)] − 1.
 
Other portfolios
 
Quotations of yield for the remaining portfolios will be based on all investment income per share earned during a particular 30-day period (including dividends and interest), less expenses accrued during the period (“net investment income”), and are computed by dividing net investment income by the maximum offering price per share on the last day of the period, according to the following formula:
 
             
    YIELD = 2[(   a − b
cd
  + 1)6 − 1]
 
             
where:
  a   =   dividends and interest earned during the period,
    b   =   expenses accrued for the period (net of reimbursements),
    c   =   the average daily number of shares outstanding during the period that were entitled to receive dividends, and
    d   =   the maximum offering price per share on the last day of the period.


14



 

Quotations of average annual total return for a portfolio will be expressed in terms of the average annual compounded rate of return of a hypothetical investment in the portfolio over certain periods that will include a period of one year (or, if less, up to the life of the portfolio), calculated pursuant to the following formula: P (1 + T)n = ERV (where P = a hypothetical initial payment of $1,000, T = the average annual total return for the period, n = the number of periods, and ERV = the ending redeemable value of a hypothetical $1,000 payment made at the beginning of the period). Quotations of total return may also be shown for other periods. All total return figures reflect the deduction of a proportional share of portfolio expenses on an annual basis, and assume that all dividends and distributions are reinvested when paid.

Rowe Price Blue Chip Growth – II, T.

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Separate Account’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
     We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Separate Account is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Separate Account’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of mutual fund investments owned as of December 31, 2010 by correspondence with the transfer agents. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
     In our opinion, such financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the respective Variable Accounts constituting Pacific Select Exec Separate Account as of December 31, 2010, the results of their operations for the year or period then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the periods presented, and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

(1)   There are no policy fees and expenses of the Separate Account that result in a direct reduction of unit values for each period indicated. The expense ratios exclude expenses of the underlying portfolios/funds in which the variable accounts invest and charges made directly to policyholder accounts through the redemption of units (See Note 3 in Notes to Financial Statements).
 
(2)   The investment income ratios represent the dividends, excluding distributions of capital gains, received by the variable accounts from the underlying portfolios/funds, divided by the average daily net assets. These ratios are before the deduction of mortality and expense risk (“M&E”) fees that are assessed against policyholder accounts. The recognition of investment income by the variable accounts is affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the underlying portfolios/funds in which the variable accounts invest. The investment income ratios for periods of less than one full year are annualized.
 
(3)   Total returns reflect changes in unit values of the underlying portfolios/funds and do not include deductions at the separate account or policy level for any M&E fees, cost of insurance charges, premium loads, administrative charges, maintenance fees, premium tax charges, surrender charges or other charges that may be incurred under a policy which, if incurred, would have resulted in lower returns. Variable Accounts with a date notation indicate the inception date of that Variable Account. Total returns are calculated for each period indicated and are not annualized for periods of less than one full year.
 
(4)   Investment income ratio represents less than 0.005%.
 
(5)   The annualized investment income ratios for the periods from inception to December 31, 2007 were 20.70%, 43.03%, 17.79%, 24.07%, 13.39%, and 13.07% for the Fidelity VIP Freedom Income Service Class 2, Fidelity VIP Freedom 2010 Service Class 2, Fidelity VIP Freedom 2015 Service Class 2, Fidelity VIP Freedom 2020 Service Class 2, Fidelity VIP Freedom 2025 Service Class 2, and Fidelity VIP Freedom 2030 Service Class 2 Variable Accounts, respectively. If not annualized, the investment income ratios were 3.63%, 2.24%, 3.27%, 1.91%, 1.94%, and 3.04%, respectively.
 
(6)   Operations commenced during 2010 (See Note 1 in Notes to Financial Statements).
 
(7)   Subsequent to commencement of operations on May 13, 2010, the Variable Account received its annual distribution. The annualized investment income ratio was 7.00%. Prior to annualization, the ratio was 4.45%.

PACIFIC SELECT EXEC SEPARATE ACCOUNT
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. ORGANIZATION
     The Pacific Select Exec Separate Account (the “Separate Account”) is registered as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and as of December 31, 2010 is comprised of sixty-six subaccounts called Variable Accounts. The assets in each of the Variable Accounts invest in the corresponding portfolios or funds (each, a “Portfolio” and collectively, the “Portfolios”) of Pacific Select Fund, an affiliated mutual fund (See Note 3), M Fund, Inc., BlackRock Variable Series Funds, Inc., Fidelity Variable Insurance Products Funds, Franklin Templeton Variable Insurance Products Trust, GE Investments Funds, Inc., Janus Aspen Series, Lazard Retirement Series, Inc., Legg Mason Partners Variable Equity Trust, Lord Abbett Series Fund, Inc., MFS Variable Insurance Trust, Royce Capital Fund, T. Rowe Price Equity Series, Inc., and Van Eck VIP Trust (formerly named Van Eck Worldwide Insurance Trust) (collectively, the “Funds”). All sixty-six Variable Accounts are presented in the Schedule of Investments on pages SA-2 and SA-3 of this brochure.
     Each Portfolio pursues different investment objectives and policies. The financial statements of the Funds, including the schedules of investments, are provided separately and should be read in conjunction with the Separate Account’s financial statements.
     The Separate Account organized and registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) four new Variable Accounts during 2010: the Templeton Global Bond Securities Class 2, GE Investments Total Return Class 3, Lord Abbett Fundamental Equity Class VC, and Royce Micro-Cap Service Class Variable Accounts which commenced operations on May 3, 2010, May 19, 2010, May 12, 2010, and May 13, 2010, respectively.
     Cash Management, Dividend Growth, and Van Eck VIP Global Hard Assets Variable Accounts and Portfolios/Funds were formerly named Money Market, Diversified Research, and Van Eck Worldwide Hard Assets Variable Accounts and Portfolios/Funds, respectively. In addition, M International Equity, M Large Cap Growth, M Capital Appreciation, and M Business Opportunity Value Portfolios, the underlying portfolios for Variable Accounts I, II, III, and V, respectively, were formerly named Brandes International Equity, Large-Cap Growth, Frontier Capital Appreciation, and Business Opportunity Value Portfolios, respectively.
     On April 16, 2010, the INTECH Risk-Managed Core Service Class and NACM Small Cap Class I Variable Accounts were liquidated. Because these variable accounts were liquidated prior to December 31, 2010, no other information for these variable accounts is presented in this report.
     The net assets of the Pacific Select Fund’s Equity and Multi-Strategy Portfolios, the underlying portfolios for the Equity and Multi-Strategy Variable Accounts, respectively, were transferred to the Pacific Select Fund’s Main Street Core and Managed Bond Portfolios (the “Surviving Portfolios”), the underlying portfolios for the Main Street Core and Managed Bond Variable Accounts, respectively, in exchange for shares of the Surviving Portfolios (the “Reorganization”). The Reorganization took place on October 29, 2010. In connection with the Reorganization, a total of 2,573,003 outstanding accumulation units (valued at $30,927,945) of the Equity Variable Account were exchanged for 642,610 accumulation units with equal value of the Main Street Core Variable Account, and a total of 1,258,522 outstanding accumulation units (valued at $48,255,727) of the Multi-Strategy Variable Account were exchanged for 551,452 accumulation units (valued at $26,540,650) of the Main Street Core Variable Account and 387,355 accumulation units (valued at $21,715,077) of the Managed Bond Variable Account.
     The Separate Account was established by Pacific Life Insurance Company (“Pacific Life”) on May 12, 1988 and commenced operations on November 22, 1988. Under applicable insurance law, the assets and liabilities of the Separate Account are clearly identified and distinguished from the other assets and liabilities of Pacific Life. The assets of the Separate Account will not be charged with any liabilities arising out of any other business conducted by Pacific Life, but the obligations of the Separate Account, including benefits related to variable life insurance, are obligations of Pacific Life.
     The Separate Account funds individual modified single premium, flexible premium, and last survivor flexible premium variable life insurance policies issued by Pacific Life. The investments of the Separate Account are carried at market value.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
     The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for investment companies which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
     A. Valuation of Investments
     Investments in shares of the Portfolios are valued at the reported net asset values of the respective Portfolios. Valuation of securities held by the Funds is discussed in the notes to their financial statements.
     B. Security Transactions and Investment Income
     Transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on sales of investments are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and the amounts distributed to the Variable Account for its share of dividends are reinvested in additional full and fractional shares of the related Portfolios.
     C. Federal Income Taxes
     The operations of the Separate Account will be reported on the Federal income tax return of Pacific Life, which is taxed as a life insurance company under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Under the current tax law, no Federal income taxes are expected to be paid by Pacific Life with respect to the operations of the Separate Account. Pacific Life will periodically review the status of this policy in the event of changes in the tax law. A charge may be made in future years for any Federal income taxes that would be attributable to the policies.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
3. CHARGES AND EXPENSES AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
     Pacific Life makes certain deductions from the net assets of each Variable Account through a redemption of units for charges for the mortality and expense risks and administrative expenses Pacific Life assumes, cost of insurance, charges for optional benefits provided by rider and any applicable surrender charges, and are shown as a decrease in net assets in the accompanying Statements of Changes in Net Assets. The mortality risk assumed by Pacific Life is the risk that those insured may die sooner than anticipated and therefore, Pacific Life will pay an aggregate amount of death benefits greater than anticipated. The expense risk assumed is where expenses incurred in issuing and administering the policies will exceed the amounts realized from the administrative fees assessed against the policies. The cost of insurance charge is the primary charge under the policy for the death benefit provided by Pacific Life which may vary by policy based on underwriting criteria. For some policies, a surrender charge is imposed if the policy is partially or fully surrendered within the specified surrender charge period and charges will vary depending on the individual policy. Most policies offer optional benefits that can be added to the policy by rider. The charges for riders can range depending on the individual policy. All of the fees described above are assessed directly to each policyholder account through a redemption of units. Surrender charges are included in policy benefits and terminations and other fees and charges are included in policy maintenance charges in the accompanying Statements of Changes in Net Assets. The operating expenses of the Separate Account are paid by Pacific Life and are not reflected in the accompanying financial statements.
     In addition to charges and expenses described above, the Separate Account also indirectly bears a portion of the operating expenses of the applicable Portfolios in which the Variable Accounts invest.
     With respect to variable life insurance policies funded by the Separate Account, Pacific Life makes certain deductions from premiums before amounts are allocated to the Separate Account to help pay costs of distributing the policies and to pay state and local premium taxes, any other taxes that might be imposed, and to compensate Pacific Life for certain costs or lost investment opportunities resulting from amortization and delayed recognition of certain policy expenses for Federal income tax purposes. These deductions are not reflected in the accompanying financial statements.
     The assets of certain Variable Accounts invest in shares of the corresponding Portfolios of Pacific Select Fund (“PSF”), an affiliated mutual fund. Each Portfolio of PSF pays advisory fees to Pacific Life Fund Advisors, LLC (“PLFA”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pacific Life, pursuant to PSF’s Investment Advisory Agreement and pays service fees to Pacific Select Distributors, Inc. (“PSD”), also a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pacific Life, for providing shareholder servicing activities under PSF’s Service Plan. Each Portfolio of PSF also compensates Pacific Life and PLFA on an approximate cost basis pursuant to PSF’s Agreement for Support Services for providing services to PSF that are outside the scope of the Investment Adviser’s responsibilities under the Investment Advisory Agreement. The advisory fee and service fee rates are disclosed in Note 3 in Notes to Financial Statements of PSF, which are included in Section D of this brochure. For the year ended December 31, 2010, PLFA received advisory fees from PSF at effective annual rates ranging from 0.05% to 0.90% which are on an annual percentage of average daily net assets of each Portfolio of PSF and PSD received a service fee of 0.20% from PSF based on an annual percentage of average daily net assets of each Portfolio of PSF.
4. RELATED PARTY AGREEMENT
     PSD serves as principal underwriter of variable life insurance policies funded by interests in the Separate Account, without remuneration from the Separate Account.

6. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
     The Separate Account characterizes its holdings as Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 based upon the various inputs or methodologies used to value the holdings. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
  Level 1 —   Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical holdings
 
  Level 2 —   Significant observable market-based inputs, other than Level 1 quoted prices, or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data
 
  Level 3 —   Significant unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by observable market data
     The inputs or methodologies used for valuing the Separate Account’s holdings are not necessarily an indication of risks associated with investing in those holdings. As of December 31, 2010, the Separate Account’s holdings as presented in the Schedule of Investments in on pages SA-2 and SA-3 of this brochure were all categorized as Level 1 under the three-tier hierarchy of inputs.
7. CHANGE IN UNITS OUTSTANDING

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
Pacific Life Insurance Company and Subsidiaries:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition of Pacific Life Insurance Company and Subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2010. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Pacific Life Insurance Company and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2010 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed its method of accounting and reporting for variable interest entities as required by accounting guidance adopted in 2010, as well as for other than temporary impairments and noncontrolling interest as required by accounting guidance adopted in 2009.

Pacific Life Insurance Company and Subsidiaries
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1.   ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
    ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
 
    Pacific Life Insurance Company (Pacific Life) was established in 1868 and is domiciled in the State of Nebraska as a stock life insurance company. Pacific Life is an indirect subsidiary of Pacific Mutual Holding Company (PMHC), a Nebraska mutual holding company, and a wholly owned subsidiary of Pacific LifeCorp, an intermediate Delaware stock holding company. PMHC and Pacific LifeCorp were organized pursuant to consent received from the California Department of Insurance and the implementation of a plan of conversion to form a mutual holding company structure in 1997 (the Conversion).
 
    Effective December 31, 2009, Pacific LifeCorp contributed its 100% stock ownership of Aviation Capital Group Corp. (ACG) to Pacific Life (Note 9). ACG is engaged in the acquisition and leasing of commercial jet aircraft. These financial statements and the accompanying footnotes have been prepared by combining the previously separate financial statements of Pacific Life and ACG as if the two entities had been combined as of the beginning of 2008, the first period presented in these consolidated financial statements. This retrospective treatment is prescribed by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) whenever a transfer between entities under common control is effected.
 
    Pacific Life and its subsidiaries and affiliates have primary business operations consisting of life insurance, annuities, mutual funds, and aircraft leasing.
 
    BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
 
    The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Pacific Life and its subsidiaries (the Company) have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and include the accounts of Pacific Life and its majority owned and controlled subsidiaries and variable interest entities (VIEs) in which the Company is the primary beneficiary. Noncontrolling interest is primarily comprised of private equity funds (Note 4). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
    Pacific Life prepares its regulatory financial statements in accordance with statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Nebraska Department of Insurance (NE DOI), which is a comprehensive basis of accounting other than U.S. GAAP (Note 2). These consolidated financial statements materially differ from those filed with regulatory authorities.
 
    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
    In developing these estimates, management makes subjective and complex judgments that are inherently uncertain and subject to material change as facts and circumstances develop. Management has identified the following estimates as critical, as they involve a higher degree of judgment and are subject to a significant degree of variability:
    The fair value of investments in the absence of quoted market values
 
    Investment impairments
 
    Application of the consolidation rules to certain investments
 
    The fair value of and accounting for derivatives
 
    Aircraft valuation and impairment
 
    The capitalization and amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs (DAC)
 
    The liability for future policyholder benefits
 
    Accounting for income taxes and the valuation of deferred income tax assets and liabilities and unrecognized tax benefits
 
    Accounting for reinsurance transactions
 
    Litigation and other contingencies
    Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2009 and 2008 consolidated financial statements to conform to the 2010 financial statement presentation.

PL-8



 

    The Company has evaluated events subsequent to December 31, 2010 through March 7, 2011, the date the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued.
 
    RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
    Effective September 30, 2009, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (Codification) as the single source of authoritative U.S. GAAP. The Codification did not create new accounting and reporting guidance, rather it reorganized then-existing U.S. GAAP pronouncements into approximately 90 Topics within a consistent structure. All guidance in the Codification carries an equal level of authority. After the effective date of the Codification, all nongrandfathered accounting literature not included in the Codification is superseded and deemed nonauthoritative. Adoption of the Codification also changed how the Company references U.S. GAAP in its consolidated financial statements.
 
    Effective January 1, 2010, the Company adopted additional guidance to the Codification’s Consolidation Topic whereby the Company changed the methodology it employs to evaluate if an entity is a VIE and, once identified, if a VIE should be included in the consolidated financial statements. The new methodology places emphasis on the Company’s ability to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s financial performance. This guidance provides for enhanced disclosure requirements. The adoption of this guidance did not impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements, however, adoption did result in additional disclosure on the consolidated statements of financial condition.
 
    In April 2009, the FASB issued additional guidance under the Codification’s Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic. This update relates to determining fair values when there is no active market or where the price inputs being used represent distressed sales. The Company early adopted this guidance on March 31, 2009. This update provides additional guidance for estimating fair value when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased. Also included is guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. See Note 14 for information on the Company’s fair value measurements and expanded disclosures.
 
    In April 2009, the FASB issued additional guidance under the Codification’s Investments — Debt and Equity Securities Topic. For debt securities, this guidance replaces the management assertion that it has the intent and ability to hold an impaired debt security until recovery with the requirement that management assert if it either has the intent to sell the debt security or if it is more likely than not the entity will be required to sell the debt security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If management intends to sell the debt security or it is more likely than not the entity will be required to sell the debt security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, an other than temporary impairment (OTTI) shall be recognized in earnings equal to the entire difference between the debt security’s amortized cost basis and its fair value at the reporting date. After the recognition of an OTTI, the debt security is accounted for as if it had been purchased on the measurement date of the OTTI, with an amortized cost basis equal to the previous amortized cost basis less the OTTI recognized in earnings. The update also changes the presentation in the financial statements of non credit related impairment amounts for instruments within its scope. When the entity asserts it does not have the intent to sell the security and it is more likely than not it will not have to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, only the credit related impairment losses are to be recognized in earnings and non credit losses are to be recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) (OCI). Additionally, this update provides for enhanced presentation and disclosure of OTTIs of debt and equity securities in the consolidated financial statements. The Company early adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2009, resulting in an after tax decrease to OCI of $170 million, including an after tax DAC impact of $5 million, and an after tax increase to retained earnings of $175 million.
 
    Effective January 1, 2009, the FASB issued additional guidance to the Codification’s Consolidation Topic. This guidance improves the relevance, comparability and transparency of the financial information that a company provides in its consolidated financial statements by establishing accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. As a result of the adoption of this guidance, which required retrospective application of presentation requirements, total equity as of December 31, 2008 increased by $244 million representing the noncontrolling interest, and other liabilities and total liabilities as of December 31, 2008 decreased by $244 million as a result of reclassifying noncontrolling interest (previously known as minority interest) to equity.
 
    FUTURE ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
    In October 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2010-26 to the Codification’s Financial Services — Insurance Topic. ASU 2010-26 significantly amends the guidance applicable to accounting for costs associated with acquiring or renewing insurance contracts. This update addresses the diversity in practice regarding the interpretation of which costs relating to the acquisition of new or renewal insurance contracts qualify for deferral. The amendment specifies the following costs incurred in the acquisition of new and renewal contracts should be capitalized: 1) incremental direct costs of contract acquisition and 2) certain

PL-9



 

    costs related directly to underwriting, policy issuance and processing, medical and inspecting, and sales force contract selling activities. This amendment also specifies that costs may only be capitalized based on successful contract acquisition efforts. Previously, insurance entities were able to capitalize costs relating to successful and unsuccessful contract acquisition efforts. The amendment is effective on January 1, 2012 and can be applied prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this revised guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
 
    INVESTMENTS
 
    Fixed maturity and equity securities available for sale are reported at estimated fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of adjustments related to DAC, future policy benefits and deferred income taxes, recognized as a component of OCI. For mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities included in fixed maturity securities available for sale, the Company recognizes income using a constant effective yield based on anticipated prepayments and the estimated economic life of the securities. When estimates of prepayments change, the effective yield is recalculated to reflect actual payments to date and anticipated future payments. For fixed rate securities, the net investment in the securities is adjusted to the amount that would have existed had the new effective yield been applied since the acquisition of the securities. These adjustments are reflected in net investment income. Trading securities, which are included in other investments, are reported at estimated fair value with changes in estimated fair value included in net realized investment gain (loss).
 
    Investment income consists primarily of interest and dividends, net investment income from partnership interests, prepayment fees on fixed maturity securities and mortgage loans, and income from certain derivatives. Interest is recognized on an accrual basis and dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Amortization of premium and accretion of discount on fixed maturity securities is recorded using the effective interest method.
 
    The Company’s available for sale securities are regularly assessed for OTTIs. If a decline in the estimated fair value of an available for sale security is deemed to be other than temporary, the OTTI is recognized equal to the difference between the estimated fair value and net carrying amount of the security. If the OTTI for a fixed maturity security is attributable to both credit and other factors, then the OTTI is bifurcated and the non credit related portion is recognized in OCI while the credit portion is recognized as an OTTI. If the OTTI is related to credit factors only, it is recognized as an OTTI.
 
    The evaluation of OTTIs is a quantitative and qualitative process subject to significant estimates and management judgment. The Company has rigorous controls and procedures in place to monitor securities and identify those that are subject to greater analysis for OTTIs. The Company has an investment impairment committee comprised of investment and accounting professionals that reviews and evaluates securities for potential OTTIs at least on a quarterly basis.
 
    In evaluating whether a decline in value is other than temporary, the Company considers many factors including, but not limited to, the following: the extent and duration of the decline in value; the reasons for the decline (credit event, currency, or interest rate related, including spread widening); the ability and intent to hold the investment for a period of time to allow for a recovery of value; and the financial condition of and near-term prospects of the issuer.
 
    Analysis of the probability that all cash flows will be collected under the contractual terms of a fixed maturity security and determination as to whether the Company does not intend to sell the security and that it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell the security before recovery of the investment are key factors in determining whether a fixed maturity security is other than temporarily impaired.
 
    For mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, scrutiny was placed on the performance of the underlying collateral and projected future cash flows. In projecting future cash flows, the Company incorporates inputs from third-party sources and applies reasonable judgment in developing assumptions used to estimate the probability and timing of collecting all contractual cash flows.
 
    In evaluating investment grade perpetual preferred securities, which do not have final contractual cash flows, the Company applied OTTI considerations used for debt securities, placing emphasis on the probability that all cash flows will be collected under the contractual terms of the security and the Company’s intent and ability to hold the security to allow for a recovery of value. Perpetual preferred securities are reported as equity securities as they are structured in equity form, but have significant debt-like characteristics, including periodic dividends, call features, and credit ratings and pricing similar to debt securities.
 
    Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined on a specific identification basis and are included in net realized investment gain (loss).

PL-10



 

    Mortgage loans on real estate are carried at their unpaid principal balance, net of deferred origination fees and write-downs. Mortgage loans are considered to be impaired when management estimates that based upon current information and events, it is probable that the Company will not be able to collect amounts due according to the contractual terms of the mortgage loan agreement. For mortgage loans deemed to be impaired, an impairment loss is recorded when the carrying amount is greater than the Company’s estimated fair value of the underlying collateral of the loan. When the underlying collateral of the loan is greater than the carrying amount, the loan is not considered to have an impaired loss and no write-down is recorded. As of December 31, 2010, one loan totaling $6 million was foreclosed upon. Since the estimated fair value of the collateral was greater than the carrying amount of the loan, no impairment loss was recorded. This loan was the only default realized during the year ended December 31, 2010. As of December 31, 2009, two loans totaling $8 million were considered impaired, however no impairment loss was necessary as the estimated fair value of the collateral was greater than the carrying amount of the related loans.
 
    Policy loans are stated at unpaid principal balances.
 
    Other investments primarily consist of partnership and joint ventures, real estate investments, derivative instruments, non-marketable equity securities, and low income housing related investments qualifying for tax credits (LIHTC). Non-marketable equity securities are carried at fair value with unrealized gains or losses recognized in OCI. Partnership and joint venture interests where the Company does not have a controlling interest or majority ownership are recorded under the cost or equity method of accounting depending on the equity ownership position. Real estate investments are carried at depreciated cost, net of write-downs, or, for real estate acquired in satisfaction of debt, estimated fair value less estimated selling costs at the date of acquisition, if lower than the related unpaid balance.
 
    Real estate investments are evaluated for impairment based on the undiscounted cash flows expected to be received during the estimated holding period. When the undiscounted cash flows are less than the current carrying value of the property (gross cost less accumulated depreciation) the property is considered impaired and will be written-down to its estimated fair value. During the year ended December 31, 2010, three real estate investments were written-down for a total of $27 million (Note 14). The Company had no real estate write-downs during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.
 
    Investments in LIHTC are recorded under either the effective interest method, if they meet certain requirements, including a projected positive yield based solely on guaranteed credits, or are recorded under the equity method if these certain requirements are not met. For investments in LIHTC recorded under the effective interest method, the amortization of the original investment and the tax credits are recorded in the provision (benefit) for income taxes. For investments in LIHTC recorded under the equity method, the amortization of the initial investment is included in net investment income, and the related tax credits are recorded in the provision (benefit) for income taxes (Note 18). The amortization recorded in net investment income was $1 million, $3 million and $5 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
 
    All derivatives, whether designated in hedging relationships or not, are required to be recorded at estimated fair value. If the derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of changes in the estimated fair value of the derivative is recorded in OCI and recognized in earnings when the hedged item affects earnings. If the derivative is designated as a fair value hedge, changes in the estimated fair value of the hedging derivative, including amounts measured as ineffectiveness, and changes in the estimated fair value of the hedged item related to the designated risk being hedged, are reported in net realized investment gain (loss). The change in estimated value of the hedged item associated with the risk being hedged is reflected as an adjustment to the carrying amount of the hedged item. For derivative instruments not designated as hedges, the change in estimated fair value of the derivative is recorded in net realized investment gain (loss). Estimated fair value exposure is calculated based on the aggregate estimated fair value of all derivative instruments with each counterparty, net of collateral received or pledged, in accordance with legally enforceable counterparty master netting agreements (Note 10).
 
    The periodic cash flows for all hedging derivatives are recorded consistent with the hedged item on an accrual basis. For derivatives that are hedging securities, these amounts are included in net investment income. For derivatives that are hedging liabilities, these amounts are included in interest credited to policyholder account balances or interest expense, which is included in operating and other expenses. For derivatives not designated as hedging instruments, the periodic cash flows are reflected in net realized investment gain (loss) on an accrual basis. Upon termination of a cash flow hedging relationship, the accumulated amount in OCI is amortized into net investment income or interest credited to policyholder account balances over the remaining life of the hedged item. Upon termination of a fair value hedging relationship, the accumulated adjustment to the carrying value of the hedged item is amortized into net investment income, interest expense, which is included in operating and other expenses, or interest credited to policyholder account balances over its remaining life.
 
    CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
 
    Cash and cash equivalents include all investments with a maturity of three months or less from purchase date.

PL-11



 

    RESTRICTED CASH
 
    Restricted cash primarily consists of security deposits, commitment fees, maintenance reserve payments and rental payments received from certain lessees related to the aircraft leasing business.
 
    DEFERRED POLICY ACQUISITION COSTS
 
    The costs of acquiring new insurance business, principally commissions, medical examinations, underwriting, policy issue and other expenses, all of which vary with and are primarily associated with the production of new business, are deferred and recorded as an asset commonly referred to as DAC. DAC related to internally replaced contracts (as defined in the Codification’s Financial Services — Insurance Topic), is immediately written off to expense and any new deferrable expenses associated with the replacement are deferred if the contract modification substantially changes the contract. However, if the contract modification does not substantially change the contract, the existing DAC asset remains in place and any acquisition costs associated with the modification are immediately expensed. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the carrying value of DAC was $4.4 billion and $4.8 billion, respectively (Note 7).
 
    For universal life (UL), variable annuities and other investment-type contracts, acquisition costs are amortized through earnings in proportion to the present value of estimated gross profits (EGPs) from projected investment, mortality and expense margins, and surrender charges over the estimated lives of the contracts. Actual gross margins or profits may vary from management’s estimates, which can increase or decrease the rate of DAC amortization. DAC related to traditional policies is amortized through earnings over the premium-paying period of the related policies in proportion to premium revenues recognized, using assumptions and estimates consistent with those used in computing policy reserves. DAC related to certain unrealized components in OCI, primarily unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale, is recorded directly to equity through OCI.
 
    Significant assumptions in the development of EGPs include investment returns, surrender and lapse rates, rider utilization, interest spreads, and mortality margins. The Company’s long-term assumption for the underlying separate account investment return ranges up to 8.0%.
 
    A change in the assumptions utilized to develop EGPs results in a change to amounts expensed in the reporting period in which the change was made by adjusting the DAC balance to the level DAC would have been had the EGPs been calculated using the new assumptions over the entire amortization period. In general, favorable experience variances result in increased expected future profitability and may lower the rate of DAC amortization, whereas unfavorable experience variances result in decreased expected future profitability and may increase the rate of DAC amortization. All critical assumptions utilized to develop EGPs are evaluated at least annually and necessary revisions are made to certain assumptions to the extent that actual or anticipated experience necessitates such a prospective change (Note 7).
 
    The Company defers sales inducements and amortizes them over the life of the policy using the same methodology and assumptions used to amortize DAC. The capitalized sales inducement balance included in the DAC asset were $549 million and $583 million as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
 
    AIRCRAFT LEASING PORTFOLIO
 
    Aircraft are recorded at cost, which includes certain acquisition costs, less accumulated depreciation. Major improvements to aircraft are capitalized when incurred. The Company evaluates carrying values of aircraft based upon changes in market and other physical and economic conditions and records impairment losses to recognize a loss in the value of the aircraft when management believes that, based on estimated future cash flows, the recoverability of the Company’s investment in an aircraft is unlikely (Note 9). The Company had five and four non-earning aircraft in the portfolio as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
 
    GOODWILL FROM ACQUISITIONS
 
    Goodwill represents the excess of costs over the fair value of net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized but is reviewed for impairment at least annually or more frequently if events occur or circumstances indicate that the goodwill might be impaired. Goodwill from acquisitions, included in other assets, totaled $43 million as of December 31, 2010 and 2009. There were no goodwill impairment write-downs from continuing operations during the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008.

PL-12



 

    POLICYHOLDER ACCOUNT BALANCES
 
    Policyholder account balances on UL and investment-type contracts, such as funding agreements, annuities without life contingencies, deposit liabilities and guaranteed interest contracts (GICs), are valued using the retrospective deposit method and are equal to accumulated account values, which consist of deposits received, plus interest credited, less withdrawals and assessments (Note 11). Interest credited to these contracts primarily ranged from 0.2% to 9.0%.
 
    FUTURE POLICY BENEFITS
 
    Annuity reserves, which primarily consist of group retirement and structured settlement annuities with life contingencies, are equal to the present value of estimated future payments using pricing assumptions, as applicable, for interest rates, mortality, morbidity, retirement age and expenses (Note 11). Interest rates used in establishing such liabilities ranged from 0.8% to 11.0%.
 
    The Company offers a rider on certain variable annuity contracts that guarantees net principal over a ten-year holding period, as well as riders on certain variable annuity contracts that guarantee a minimum withdrawal benefit over specified periods, subject to certain restrictions. These variable annuity guaranteed living benefits (GLBs) are considered embedded derivatives and are recorded in future policy benefits (Note 11).
 
    Policy charges assessed against policyholders that represent compensation to the Company for services to be provided in future periods, or unearned revenue reserves (URR), are recognized in revenue over the expected life of the contract using the same methods and assumptions used to amortize DAC. Unearned revenue related to certain unrealized components in OCI, primarily unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale, is recorded directly to equity through OCI.
 
    Life insurance reserves are valued using the net level premium method on the basis of actuarial assumptions appropriate at policy issue. Mortality and persistency assumptions are generally based on the Company’s experience, which, together with interest and expense assumptions, include a margin for possible unfavorable deviations. Interest rate assumptions ranged from 3.0% to 9.3%. Future dividends for participating business are provided for in the liability for future policy benefits.
 
    As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, participating experience rated policies paying dividends represent less than 1% of direct life insurance in force.
 
    Estimates of future policy benefit reserves and liabilities are continually reviewed and, as experience develops, are adjusted as necessary. Such changes in estimates are included in earnings for the period in which such changes occur.
 
    REINSURANCE
 
    The Company has ceded reinsurance agreements with other insurance companies to limit potential losses, reduce exposure arising from larger risks, provide additional capacity for future growth and assumed reinsurance agreements intended to offset reinsurance costs. As part of a strategic alliance, the Company also reinsures risks associated with policies written by an independent producer group through modified coinsurance and yearly renewable term arrangements with this producer group’s reinsurance company.
 
    All assets associated with business reinsured on a modified coinsurance basis remain with, and under the control of, the Company. As part of its risk management process, the Company routinely evaluates its reinsurance programs and may change retention limits, reinsurers or other features at any time.
 
    Reinsurance accounting is utilized for ceded transactions when risk transfer provisions have been met. To meet risk transfer requirements, a reinsurance contract must include insurance risk, consisting of both underwriting and timing risk, and a reasonable possibility of a significant loss to the reinsurer.
 
    Reinsurance premiums ceded and reinsurance recoveries on benefits and claims incurred are deducted from their respective revenue and benefit and expense accounts. Prepaid reinsurance premiums, included in other assets, are premiums that are paid in advance for future coverage. Reinsurance recoverables, included in other assets, include balances due from reinsurance companies for paid and unpaid losses. Amounts receivable and payable are offset for account settlement purposes for contracts where the right of offset exists. See Note 16.

PL-13



 

    REVENUES, BENEFITS AND EXPENSES
 
    Premiums from annuity contracts with life contingencies and traditional life and term insurance contracts, are recognized as revenue when due. Benefits and expenses are matched against such revenues to recognize profits over the lives of the contracts. This matching is accomplished by providing for liabilities for future policy benefits, expenses of contract administration and the amortization of DAC and URR.
 
    Receipts for UL and investment-type contracts are reported as deposits to either policyholder account balances or separate account liabilities and are not included in revenue. Policy fees consist of mortality charges, surrender charges and expense charges that have been earned and assessed against related account values during the period. The timing of policy fee revenue recognition is determined based on the nature of the fees. Benefits and expenses include policy benefits and claims incurred in the period that are in excess of related policyholder account balances, interest credited to policyholder account balances, expenses of contract administration and the amortization of DAC.
 
    Investment advisory fees are primarily fees earned by Pacific Life Fund Advisors LLC (PLFA), a wholly owned subsidiary of Pacific Life formed in 2007, which serves as the investment advisor for the Pacific Select Fund, an investment vehicle provided to the Company’s variable universal life (VUL) and variable annuity contract holders, and the Pacific Life Funds, the investment vehicle for the Company’s mutual fund products. These fees are based upon the net asset value of the underlying portfolios and are recorded as earned. Related subadvisory expense is included in operating and other expenses and recorded when incurred.
 
    Aircraft leases, which are structured as triple net leases, are accounted for as operating leases. Aircraft leasing revenue is recognized ratably over the terms of the lease agreements. ACG has four capital leases, which are accounted for under the provisions in the Codification’s Leases Topic. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, capital leases in the amount of $5 million and $8 million, respectively, are classified in other assets.
 
    DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION
 
    Aircraft and certain other assets are depreciated or amortized using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives, which range from three to 40 years. Depreciation and amortization of aircraft under operating leases and certain other assets are included in operating and other expenses. Depreciation of investment real estate is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives, which range from five to 30 years. Depreciation of investment real estate is included in net investment income.
 
    INCOME TAXES
 
    Pacific Life and its includable subsidiaries are included in the consolidated Federal income tax return of PMHC. Pacific Life and its wholly owned, Arizona domiciled life insurance subsidiary, Pacific Life & Annuity Company (PL&A), and Pacific Alliance Reinsurance Company of Vermont (PAR Vermont), a Vermont-based life reinsurance company wholly owned by Pacific Life, are taxed as life insurance companies for Federal income tax purposes. Pacific Life’s non-insurance subsidiaries are either included in PMHC’s combined California franchise tax return or, if necessary, file separate state tax returns. Companies included in the consolidated Federal income tax return of PMHC and/or the combined California franchise tax return of PMHC are allocated tax expense or benefit based principally on the effect of including their operations in PMHC’s returns under a tax sharing agreement. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years the differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
 
    CONTINGENCIES
 
    Each reporting cycle, the Company evaluates all identified contingent matters on an individual basis. A loss is recorded if probable and reasonably estimable. The Company establishes reserves for these contingencies at the best estimate, or, if no one number within the range of possible losses is more probable than any other, the Company records an estimated reserve at the low end of the range of losses. See Note 21.
 
    SEPARATE ACCOUNTS
 
    Separate accounts primarily include variable annuity and life contracts, as well as other guaranteed and non-guaranteed accounts. Separate account assets are recorded at estimated fair value and represent legally segregated contract holder funds. A separate

PL-14



 

    account liability is recorded equal to the amount of separate account assets. Deposits to separate accounts, investment income and realized and unrealized gains and losses on the separate account assets accrue directly to contract holders and, accordingly, are not reflected in the consolidated statements of operations or cash flows. Amounts charged to the separate account for mortality, surrender and expense charges are included in revenues as policy fees.
 
    For separate account funding agreements in which the Company provides a guarantee of principal and interest to the contract holder and bears all the risks and rewards of the investments underlying the separate account, the related investments and liabilities are recognized as investments and liabilities in the consolidated statements of financial condition. Revenue and expenses are recognized within the respective revenue and benefit and expense lines in the consolidated statements of operations.
 
    FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
    The estimated fair value of financial instruments, disclosed in Notes 8, 10 and 14, has been determined using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is often required to interpret market data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented may not be indicative of the amounts the Company could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies could have a significant effect on the estimated fair value amounts.
2.   STATUTORY FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS
    STATUTORY ACCOUNTING PRACTICES
 
    Pacific Life prepares its regulatory statutory financial statements in accordance with statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the NE DOI, which is a comprehensive basis of accounting other than U.S. GAAP. Statutory accounting practices primarily differ from U.S. GAAP by charging policy acquisition costs to expense as incurred, recognizing certain policy fees as revenue when billed, establishing future policy benefit liabilities using different actuarial assumptions, reporting surplus notes as surplus instead of debt, as well as the valuation of investments and certain assets and accounting for deferred income taxes on a different basis.
 
    Pacific Life has one permitted practice approved by the NE DOI that differs from statutory accounting practices adopted by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC). This permitted practice relates to the valuation of certain statutory separate account assets that are carried at book value instead of estimated fair value. Pacific Life’s statutory capital and surplus as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 did not reflect unrealized losses of $24 million and $29 million, respectively, with regard to this permitted practice.
 
    In addition, Pacific Life uses an NE DOI prescribed accounting practice for certain synthetic GIC reserves that differs from statutory accounting practices adopted by the NAIC. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, this NE DOI prescribed accounting practice resulted in statutory reserves of $27 million and $20 million, respectively, as opposed to statutory reserves of zero, using statutory accounting practices adopted by the NAIC.
 
    STATUTORY NET INCOME (LOSS) AND SURPLUS
 
    Statutory net income (loss) of Pacific Life was $741 million, $652 million and ($1,529) million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Statutory capital and surplus of Pacific Life was $5,867 million and $5,006 million as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
 
    RISK-BASED CAPITAL
 
    Risk-based capital is a method developed by the NAIC to measure the minimum amount of capital appropriate for an insurance company to support its overall business operations in consideration of its size and risk profile. The formulas for determining the amount of risk-based capital specify various weighting factors that are applied to financial balances or various levels of activity based on the perceived degree of risk. Additionally, certain risks are required to be measured using actuarial cash flow modeling techniques, subject to formulaic minimums. The adequacy of a company’s actual capital is measured by a comparison to the risk-based capital results. Companies below minimum risk-based capital requirements are classified within certain levels, each of which requires specified corrective action. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, Pacific Life, PL&A and PAR Vermont exceeded the minimum risk-based capital requirements.

PL-15



 

    DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS
 
    The payment of dividends by Pacific Life to Pacific LifeCorp is subject to restrictions set forth in the State of Nebraska insurance laws. These laws require (i) notification to the NE DOI for the declaration and payment of any dividend and (ii) approval by the NE DOI for accumulated dividends within the preceding twelve months that exceed the greater of 10% of statutory policyholder surplus as of the preceding December 31 or statutory net gain from operations for the preceding twelve months ended December 31. Generally, these restrictions pose no short-term liquidity concerns for Pacific LifeCorp. Based on these restrictions and 2010 statutory results, Pacific Life could pay $688 million in dividends in 2011 to Pacific LifeCorp without prior approval from the NE DOI, subject to the notification requirement.
 
    During the year ended December 31, 2010, Pacific Life paid a cash dividend to Pacific LifeCorp of $150 million. No dividends were paid during 2009. During the year ended December 31, 2008, Pacific Life paid a cash dividend to Pacific LifeCorp of $345 million.
 
    The maximum amount of ordinary dividends that can be paid by PL&A to Pacific Life without restriction cannot exceed the lesser of 10% of statutory surplus as regards to policyholders, or the statutory net gain from operations. Based on this limitation and 2010 statutory results, PL&A could pay $28 million in dividends to Pacific Life in 2011 without prior regulatory approval. No dividends were paid during 2010, 2009 and 2008.
 
    OTHER
 
    The Company has ceded reinsurance contracts in place with a reinsurer whose financial stability has deteriorated. In January 2009, the reinsurer’s domiciliary state regulator issued an order of supervision, which requires the regulator’s consent to any transaction outside the normal course of business. The Company will continue to monitor the situation and evaluate its options to deal with any further deterioration in the reinsurer’s financial condition. As of December 31, 2010, statutory reserves ceded to this reinsurer amounted to approximately $177 million.
3.   CLOSED BLOCK
    In connection with the Conversion, an arrangement known as a closed block (the Closed Block) was established, for dividend purposes only, for the exclusive benefit of certain individual life insurance policies that had an experience based dividend scale for 1997. The Closed Block was designed to give reasonable assurance to holders of the Closed Block policies that policy dividends will not change solely as a result of the Conversion.
 
    Assets that support the Closed Block, which are primarily included in fixed maturity securities and policy loans, amounted to $284 million and $285 million as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Liabilities allocated to the Closed Block, which are primarily included in future policy benefits, amounted to $304 million and $307 million as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The net contribution to income from the Closed Block was zero, $4 million and $1 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

PL-16



 

4.   VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
    The Company evaluates its interests in VIEs on an ongoing basis and consolidates those VIEs in which it has a controlling financial interest and is thus deemed to be the primary beneficiary. A controlling financial interest has both of the following characteristics: (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance, and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Creditors or beneficial interest holders of VIEs, where the Company is the primary beneficiary, have no recourse against the Company in the event of default by these VIEs.
 
    The following table presents, as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the consolidated assets, consolidated liabilities and maximum exposure to loss relating to VIEs, which the Company (i) has consolidated because it is the primary beneficiary or (ii) total assets of and maximum exposure to loss relating to VIEs in which the Company holds a significant variable interest, but has not consolidated because it is not the primary beneficiary:

    AIRCRAFT SECURITIZATIONS
 
    ACG has sponsored three financial asset securitizations secured by interests in aircraft. ACG serves as the remarketing agent and provides various aircraft related services in all three securitizations for a fee. This fee is eliminated for the two consolidated securitizations and is included in other income as earned for the unconsolidated securitization.
 
    In 2005, ACG sponsored a securitization transaction whereby Aviation Capital Group Trust III (ACG Trust III) acquired 74 of ACG’s aircraft through a private placement note offering in the amount of $1,860 million. ACG owns 100% of the equity and has a controlling financial interest in this VIE. Therefore, ACG was determined to be the primary beneficiary of this VIE and ACG Trust III is consolidated into the consolidated financial statements of the Company. These private placement notes are the obligation of ACG Trust III and represent debt that is non-recourse to the Company (Note 13). VIE non-recourse debt consolidated from ACG Trust III was $1,103 million and $1,309 million as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the maximum exposure to loss, based on the Company’s interest in ACG Trust III, was $201 million and $148 million, respectively.
 
    In 2003, ACG sponsored a securitization transaction whereby Aviation Capital Group Trust II (ACG Trust II) acquired 37 of ACG’s aircraft through a private placement note offering in the amount of $1,027 million. ACG owns 100% of the equity and has a controlling financial interest in this VIE. Therefore, ACG was determined to be the primary beneficiary of this VIE and ACG Trust II is consolidated into the consolidated financial statements of the Company. These private placement notes are the obligation of ACG Trust II and represent debt that is non-recourse to the Company (Note 13). VIE non-recourse debt consolidated from ACG Trust II was $484 million and $666 million as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the maximum exposure to loss was $188 million and $201 million, respectively, based on the Company’s interest in ACG Trust II. As of December 31, 2009, the maximum exposure to loss included a contingent purchase obligation of $100 million. The Company was contingently obligated to purchase certain notes from ACG Trust II to cover shortfalls in amounts due to the holders of the notes. This contingent purchase obligation expired in August 2010.

PL-17



 

    In 2000, ACG sponsored a financial asset securitization of aircraft to Aviation Capital Group Trust (Aviation Trust). ACG and Pacific Life are beneficial interest holders in Aviation Trust. Aviation Trust is not consolidated as the Company is not the primary beneficiary as ACG does not have the obligation to absorb losses of Aviation Trust that could potentially be significant to Aviation Trust or the right to receive benefits from Aviation Trust that could potentially be significant to it. The carrying value is comprised of beneficial interests issued by Aviation Trust. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the maximum exposure to loss, based on carrying value, was zero.
 
    PRIVATE EQUITY FUNDS
 
    Private equity funds (the Funds) are three limited partnerships that invest in private equity investments for outside investors, where the Company is the general partner. The Company provides investment management services to the Funds for a fee and receives carried interest based upon the performance of the Funds. The Funds are a VIE due to the purpose and design of the Funds and the lack of control by the other equity investors. The Company has determined itself to be the primary beneficiary since it has a controlling financial interest in the Funds and the Funds are consolidated into the consolidated financial statements of the Company. The Company has not guaranteed the performance, liquidity or obligations of the Funds, and the Company’s maximum exposure to loss is equal to the carrying amounts of its retained interest. VIE non-recourse debt consolidated from the Funds was $5 million and $2 million as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively (Note 13).
 
    ASSET-BACKED SECURITIES
 
    As part of the Company’s investment strategy, the Company purchases primarily investment grade beneficial interests issued from bankruptcy-remote special purpose entities (SPEs), which are collateralized by financial assets including corporate debt. The Company has not guaranteed the performance, liquidity or obligations of the SPEs, and the Company’s maximum exposure to loss is limited to its carrying value of the beneficial interests in the SPEs. The Company has no liabilities related to these VIEs. The Company has determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of these entities since it does not have the power to direct their financial activities. Therefore, the Company does not consolidate these entities. The investments are reported as fixed maturity securities available for sale and had a net carrying amount of $108 million and $103 million at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, the Company recorded OTTIs of zero, $60 million and $117 million, respectively, related to these securities.
5.   INTEREST IN PIMCO
    As of December 31, 2007, the Company owned a beneficial economic interest in Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (PIMCO) through Allianz Global Investors of America LLC (interest in PIMCO). PIMCO offers investment products through managed accounts and institutional, retail and offshore mutual funds. The interest in PIMCO was reported at estimated fair value, as determined by a contractual put and call option price, with changes in estimated fair value reported as a component of OCI, net of taxes.
 
    During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company exercised a put option and sold all of its remaining interest in PIMCO to Allianz of America, Inc., a subsidiary of Allianz SE, for $288 million. The Company recognized a pre-tax gain of $109 million for the year ended December 31, 2008.

PL-18



 

6.   DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
    The Company’s former broker-dealer operations have been reflected as discontinued operations in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Discontinued operations do not include the operations of Pacific Select Distributors, Inc. (PSD), a wholly owned broker-dealer subsidiary of Pacific Life, which primarily serves as the underwriter/distributor of registered investment-related products and services, principally variable life and variable annuity contracts issued by the Company, and mutual funds. In March 2007, the Company classified its broker-dealer subsidiaries, other than PSD, as held for sale. During 2008 and 2007, these broker-dealers were sold.
 
    Operating results from discontinued operations were as follows:
                         
    Years Ended December 31,  
    2010     2009     2008  
    (In Millions)

    During the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, the Company revised certain assumptions to develop EGPs for its products subject to DAC amortization (Note 1). This resulted in increases in DAC amortization expense of $34 million, $23 million and $20 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The revised EGPs also resulted in increased URR amortization of $20 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, an immaterial decrease in URR amortization for the year ended December 31, 2009 and increased URR amortization of $2 million for the year ended December 31, 2008.

    The Company has evaluated fixed maturity and other securities with gross unrealized losses and has determined that the unrealized losses are temporary. The Company does not intend to sell the securities and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell the securities before recovery of their net carrying amounts.
 
    Prime mortgages are loans made to borrowers with strong credit histories, whereas sub-prime mortgage lending is the origination of residential mortgage loans to customers with weak credit profiles. Alt-A mortgage lending is the origination of residential mortgage loans to customers who have good credit ratings, but have limited documentation for their source of income or some other standard input used to underwrite the mortgage loan. The slowing U.S. housing market, greater use of affordability mortgage products and relaxed underwriting standards by some originators for these loans has led to higher delinquency and loss rates, especially within the 2007 and 2006 vintage years.

10.   DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
    The Company primarily utilizes derivative instruments to manage its exposure to interest rate risk, foreign currency risk, credit risk, and equity risk. Derivative instruments are also used to manage the duration mismatch of assets and liabilities. The Company utilizes a variety of derivative instruments including swaps, foreign exchange forward contracts and options. In addition, certain insurance products offered by the Company contain features that are accounted for as derivatives.
    Accounting for derivatives and hedging activities requires companies to recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the consolidated statement of financial condition. The Company applies hedge accounting by designating derivative instruments as either fair value or cash flow hedges on the date the Company enters into a derivative contract. The Company formally documents at inception all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. In this documentation, the Company specifically identifies the asset, liability, firm commitment, or forecasted transaction that has been designated as a hedged item and states how the hedging instrument is expected to hedge the risks related to the hedged item. The Company formally assesses and measures effectiveness of its hedging relationships both at the hedge inception and on an ongoing basis in accordance with its risk management policy.
    DERIVATIVES DESIGNATED AS CASH FLOW HEDGES
    The Company primarily uses foreign currency interest rate swaps, forward starting interest rate swaps and interest rate swaps to manage its exposure to variability in cash flows due to changes in foreign currencies and the benchmark interest rate. These cash flows include those associated with existing assets and liabilities, as well as the forecasted interest cash flows related to anticipated investment purchases and liability issuances. Such anticipated investment purchases and liability issuances are considered probable to occur and are generally completed within 22 years of the inception of the hedge.
    Foreign currency interest rate swap agreements are used to convert a fixed or floating rate, foreign-denominated asset or liability to a U.S. dollar fixed rate asset or liability. The foreign currency interest rate swaps involve the exchange of an initial principal amount in two currencies and the agreement to re-exchange the currencies at a future date at an agreed exchange rate. There are also periodic exchanges of interest payments in the two currencies at specified intervals, calculated using agreed upon rates and the exchanged principal amounts. The main currencies that the Company hedges are the Euro, British Pound, and Canadian Dollar.
    Interest rate swap agreements are used to convert a floating rate asset or liability to a fixed rate to hedge the variability of cash flows of the hedged asset or liability due to changes in benchmark interest rates. These derivatives are predominantly used to better match the cash flow characteristics of certain assets and liabilities. These agreements involve the exchange, at specified intervals, of interest payments resulting from the difference between fixed rate and floating rate interest amounts calculated by reference to an underlying notional amount. Generally, no cash is exchanged at the outset of the contract and no principal payments are made by either party.
    Forward starting interest rate swaps are used to hedge the variability in the future interest receipts or payments stemming from the anticipated purchase of fixed rate securities or issuance of fixed rate liabilities due to changes in benchmark interest rates. These derivatives are predominantly used to lock in interest rate levels to match future cash flow characteristics of assets and liabilities. Forward starting interest rate swaps involve the exchange, at specified intervals, of interest payments resulting from the difference between fixed and floating rate interest amounts calculated by reference to an underlying notional amount to begin at a specified date in the future for a specified period of time. Generally, no cash is exchanged at the outset of the contract and no principal payments are made by either party. The notional amounts of the contracts do not represent future cash requirements, as the Company intends to close out open positions prior to their effective dates.
    When a derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of changes in the estimated fair value of the derivative is recognized in OCI and recognized in earnings when the hedged item affects earnings, and the ineffective portion of changes in the estimated fair value of the derivative is recognized in net realized investment gain (loss). For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, hedge ineffectiveness related to designated cash flow hedges reflected in net realized investment gain (loss) was $5 million, $8 million and ($4) million, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, the Company did not have any net losses reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (AOCI) to earnings resulting from the discontinuance of cash flow hedges due to forecasted transactions that were no longer probable of occurring. Over the next twelve months, the Company anticipates that $16 million of deferred losses on derivative instruments in AOCI will be reclassified to earnings. For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, all of the Company’s hedged forecasted transactions were determined to be probable of occurring.

    Notional amount represents a standard of measurement of the volume of derivatives. Notional amount is not a quantification of market risk or credit risk and is not recorded on the consolidated statements of financial condition. Notional amounts generally represent those amounts used to calculate contractual cash flows to be exchanged and are not paid or received, except for certain contracts such as currency swaps.
    DERIVATIVES DESIGNATED AS FAIR VALUE HEDGES
    Interest rate swap agreements are used to convert a fixed rate asset or liability to a floating rate to hedge the changes in estimated fair value of the hedged asset or liability due to changes in benchmark interest rates. These derivatives are used primarily to closely match the duration of the assets supporting specific liabilities. Pacific Life uses interest rate swaps to convert fixed rate surplus notes to variable rate notes (Note 13).

    DERIVATIVES NOT DESIGNATED AS HEDGING INSTRUMENTS
    The Company has certain insurance and reinsurance contracts that are considered to have embedded derivatives. When it is determined that the embedded derivative possesses economic and risk characteristics that are not clearly and closely related to those of the host contract and that a separate instrument with the same terms would qualify as a derivative instrument, it is separated from the host contract and accounted for as a stand-alone derivative.
    The Company offers a rider on certain variable annuity contracts that guarantees net principal over a ten-year holding period, as well as riders on certain variable annuity contracts that guarantee a minimum withdrawal benefit over specified periods, subject to certain restrictions. These variable annuity GLBs are considered embedded derivatives and are recorded in future policy benefits.
    GLBs on variable annuity contracts issued between January 1, 2007 and March 31, 2009 are partially covered by reinsurance. These reinsurance arrangements are used to offset a portion of the Company’s exposure to the GLBs for the lives of the host variable annuity contracts issued. The ceded portion of the GLBs is considered an embedded derivative and is recorded in other assets or other liabilities as either a reinsurance recoverable or reinsurance payable.
    The Company employs hedging strategies (variable annuity derivatives) to mitigate equity risk associated with the GLBs not covered by reinsurance. The Company utilizes total return swaps based upon the S&P 500 Index (S&P 500) primarily to economically hedge the equity risk of the mortality and expense fees in its variable annuity products. These contracts provide periodic payments to the Company in exchange for the total return and changes in fair value of the S&P 500 in the form of a payment or receipt, depending on whether the return relative to the index on trade date is positive or negative, respectively. Payments and receipts are recognized in net realized investment gain (loss). The Company has used interest rate swaps to hedge fluctuations in the valuation of GLBs as a result of changes in risk free rates. These agreements involved the exchange, at specified intervals, of interest payments resulting from the difference between fixed rate and floating rate interest amounts

PL-30



 

    calculated by reference to an underlying notional amount. During 2009, all interest rate swaps held at the beginning of the year were terminated and there were no open interest rate swaps as of December 31, 2009. The Company had no interest rate swap trading activity for the year ended December 31, 2010.
    The Company also uses equity put options to hedge equity and credit risks. These equity put options involve the exchange of periodic fixed rate payments for the return, at the end of the option agreement, of the equity index below a specified strike price. Generally, no cash is exchanged at the outset of the contract and no principal payments are made by either party.
    The Company offers equity indexed universal life (EIUL) insurance products, which credits the price return of the S&P 500 to the policy cash value. A policyholder may allocate the policy’s net accumulated value to one or a combination of the following: fixed return account, one-year indexed account capped at 12%, or a five-year indexed account. These equity indexed products contain embedded derivatives and are recorded in policyholder account balances.
    The Company utilizes one-year and five-year S&P call options to hedge against adverse changes in the equity index. These options are contracts to buy the equity index at a predetermined time at a contracted price. The contracts will be net settled in cash based on differentials in the index at the time of exercise and the strike price and the settlements will be recognized in net realized investment gain (loss).
    The Company issues synthetic GICs to Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) qualified defined contribution employee benefit plans (ERISA Plan). The ERISA Plan uses the contracts in its stable value fixed income option. The Company receives a fee for providing book value accounting for the ERISA Plan stable value fixed income option. The Company does not manage the assets underlying synthetic GICs. In the event that plan participant elections exceed the estimated fair value of the assets or if the contract is terminated and at the end of the termination period the book value under the contract exceeds the estimated fair value of the assets, then the Company is required to pay the ERISA Plan the difference between book value and estimated fair value. The Company mitigates the investment risk through pre-approval and monitoring of the investment guidelines, requiring high quality investments and adjustments to the plan crediting rates to compensate for unrealized losses in the portfolios.
    Credit default swaps involve the receipt or payment of fixed amounts at specific intervals in exchange for the assumption of or protection from potential credit events associated with the underlying security. The Company wrote one credit default swap for which a payment would be delivered if the underlying security of the derivative defaults. The maximum potential amount of future payment under the credit default swap was $50 million as of December 31, 2010 and 2009. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the fair value of the credit derivative sold by the Company was ($10) million and ($17) million, respectively. The term for this instrument is seven years.

    Cash collateral received from counterparties was $251 million and $237 million as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. This unrestricted cash collateral is included in cash and cash equivalents and the obligation to return it is netted against the estimated fair value of derivatives in other investments or other liabilities. Cash collateral pledged to counterparties was $145 million and $137 million as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. A receivable representing the right to call this collateral back from the counterparty is netted against the estimated fair value of derivatives in other investments or other liabilities. If the net estimated fair value of the exposure to the counterparty is positive, the amount is reflected in other investments, whereas, if the net estimated fair value of the exposure to the counterparty is negative, the estimated fair value is included in future policy benefits or other liabilities, depending on the nature of the derivative.
    As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company had also accepted collateral consisting of various securities with an estimated fair value of $36 million and $14 million, respectively, which are held in separate custodial accounts. The Company is permitted by contract to sell or repledge this collateral and as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, none of the collateral had been repledged. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company provided collateral in the form of various securities with an estimated fair value of $15 million and zero, respectively, which are included in fixed maturity securities. The counterparties are permitted by contract to sell or repledge this collateral.
    The following table summarizes amounts recognized in net realized investment gain (loss) for derivatives designated as fair value hedges.

    CREDIT EXPOSURE AND CREDIT RISK RELATED CONTINGENT FEATURES
    Credit exposure is measured on a counterparty basis as the net positive aggregate estimated fair value, net of collateral received, if any. The credit exposure for over the counter derivatives as of December 31, 2010 was $100 million. The maximum exposure to any single counterparty was $17 million at December 31, 2010.
    For all derivative contracts, excluding embedded derivative contracts such as variable annuity GLBs and synthetic GICs, the Company enters into master agreements that may include a termination event clause associated with Pacific Life’s insurer financial strength ratings assigned by certain independent rating agencies. If Pacific Life’s insurer financial strength rating were to fall below a specified level, as defined within each counterparty master agreement or, in most cases, if one of the rating agencies ceased to provide an insurer financial strength rating, the counterparty could terminate the master agreement with payment due based on the estimated fair value of the underlying derivatives. As of December 31, 2010, Pacific Life’s insurer financial strength ratings were above the specified level.
    The Company enters into collateral arrangements with derivative counterparties, which require both the pledging and accepting of collateral when the net estimated fair value of the underlying derivatives reaches a pre-determined threshold. Certain of these arrangements include credit-contingent provisions that provide for a reduction of these thresholds in the event of downgrades in the credit ratings of the Company and/or the counterparty. If Pacific Life’s insurer financial strength rating were to fall below a specific investment grade credit rating, the counterparties to the derivative instruments could request immediate and ongoing full collateralization on derivative instruments in net liability positions. The aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with credit risk related contingent features that are in a liability position on December 31, 2010, is $244 million for which the Company has posted collateral of $160 million in the normal course of business. If certain of Pacific Life’s insurer financial strength ratings were to fall one notch as of December 31, 2010, the Company would have been required to post an additional $29 million of collateral to its counterparties.
    The Company attempts to limit its credit exposure by dealing with creditworthy counterparties, establishing risk control limits, executing legally enforceable master netting agreements, and obtaining collateral where appropriate. In addition, each counterparty is reviewed to evaluate its financial stability before entering into each agreement and throughout the period that the financial instrument is owned. All of the Company’s credit exposure from derivative contracts is with investment grade counterparties.

12.   SEPARATE ACCOUNTS AND VARIABLE ANNUITY GUARANTEED BENEFIT FEATURES
    The Company issues variable annuity contracts through separate accounts for which investment income and investment gains and losses accrue directly to, and investment risk is borne by, the contract holder (traditional variable annuities). These contracts also include various types of guaranteed minimum death benefit (GMDB) and GLB features. For a discussion of certain GLBs accounted for as embedded derivatives, see Note 10.
    The GMDBs provide a specified minimum return upon death. Many of these death benefits are spousal, whereby a death benefit will be paid upon death of the first spouse. The survivor has the option to terminate the contract or continue it and have the death benefit paid into the contract and a second death benefit paid upon the survivor’s death. The GMDB features include those where the Company contractually guarantees to the contract holder either (a) return of no less than total deposits made to the contract less any partial withdrawals (return of net deposits), (b) the highest contract value on any contract anniversary date through age 80 minus any payments or withdrawals following the contract anniversary (anniversary contract value), or (c) the highest of contract value on certain specified dates or total deposits made to the contract less any partial withdrawals plus a minimum return (minimum return).
    The guaranteed minimum income benefit (GMIB) is a GLB that provides the contract holder with a guaranteed annuitization value after 10 years. Annuitization value is generally based on deposits adjusted for withdrawals plus a minimum return. In general, the GMIB requires contract holders to invest in an approved asset allocation strategy.

    was no debt outstanding with the FHLB of Topeka as of December 31, 2010 and 2009. The Company had zero and $127 million of additional funding capacity from eligible collateral as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
    PL&A is eligible to borrow from the FHLB of San Francisco amounts based on a percentage of statutory capital and surplus and could borrow up to amounts of $120 million. Of this amount, half, or $60 million, can be borrowed for terms other than overnight, out to a maximum term of nine months. These borrowings are at variable rates of interest, collateralized by certain mortgage loan and government securities. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, PL&A had no debt outstanding with the FHLB of San Francisco.
    In October 2010, ACG entered into a revolving credit agreement with a bank for a $200 million borrowing facility. Interest is at variable rates and the facility matures in October 2013.

    In June 2009, Pacific Life issued $1.0 billion of surplus notes at a fixed interest rate of 9.25%, maturing on June 15, 2039. Interest is payable semiannually on June 15 and December 15. Pacific Life may redeem the 9.25% surplus notes at its option, subject to the approval of the Nebraska Director of Insurance for such optional redemption. The 9.25% surplus notes are unsecured and subordinated to all present and future senior indebtedness and policy claims of Pacific Life. All future payments of interest and principal on the 9.25% surplus notes can be made only with the prior approval of the Nebraska Director of Insurance. The Company entered into interest rate swaps converting $650 million and $350 million of the 9.25% surplus notes to variable rate notes based upon the London InterBank Offered Rate (LIBOR) during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010, respectively. The interest rate swaps were designated as fair value hedges of these surplus notes and the changes in fair value of the hedged surplus notes associated with changes in interest rates are reflected as an adjustment to their carrying amount. This adjustment to the carrying amount of the 9.25% surplus notes, which increased (decreased) long-term debt by $53 million and ($35) million as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, is offset by a fair value adjustment which has also been recorded for the interest rate swap derivative instruments.
    Pacific Life has $150 million of surplus notes outstanding at a fixed interest rate of 7.9%, maturing on December 30, 2023. Interest is payable semiannually on June 30 and December 30. The 7.9% surplus notes may not be redeemed at the option of Pacific Life or any holder of the surplus notes. The 7.9% surplus notes are unsecured and subordinated to all present and future senior indebtedness and policy claims of Pacific Life. All future payments of interest and principal on the 7.9% surplus notes can be made only with the prior approval of the Nebraska Director of Insurance. The Company entered into interest rate swaps converting these surplus notes to variable rate notes based upon the LIBOR. The interest rate swaps were designated as fair value hedges of these surplus notes and the changes in fair value of the hedged surplus notes associated with changes in interest rates are reflected as an adjustment to their carrying amount. This adjustment to the carrying amount of the 7.9% surplus notes, which increased long-term debt by $31 million and $22 million as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, is offset by a fair value adjustment which has also been recorded for the interest rate swap derivative instruments.
    In March 2010, the Nebraska Director of Insurance approved the issuance of an internal surplus note by Pacific Life to Pacific LifeCorp for $450 million. Pacific Life is required to pay Pacific LifeCorp interest on the internal surplus note semiannually on February 5 and August 5 at a fixed annual rate of 6.0%. All future payments of interest and principal on the internal surplus note can be made only with the prior approval of the Nebraska Director of Insurance. The internal surplus note matures on February 5, 2020.

14.   FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
    The Codification’s Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs of valuation methods used to measure fair value for financial assets and financial liabilities that are carried at fair value. The hierarchy consists of the following three levels that are prioritized based on observable and unobservable inputs.
  Level 1     Unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. Level 1 financial instruments would include securities that are traded in an active exchange market.
  Level 2     Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in inactive markets; and model-derived valuations for which all significant inputs are observable market data. Level 2 instruments include most fixed maturity securities that are valued by models using inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.
  Level 3     Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable. Level 3 instruments include less liquid securities for which significant inputs are not observable in the market, such as certain structured securities and variable annuity GLB embedded derivatives that require significant management assumptions or estimation in the fair value measurement.
    This hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available.

(1)   Netting adjustments represent the impact of offsetting asset and liability positions on the consolidated statement of financial condition held with the same counterparty as permitted by guidance for offsetting in the Codification’s Derivatives and Hedging Topic.

PL-42



 

(3)   Separate account assets are measured at fair value. Investment performance related to separate account assets is offset by corresponding amounts credited to contract holders whose liability is reflected in the separate account liabilities. Separate account liabilities are measured to equal the fair value of separate account assets as prescribed by guidance in the Codification’s Financial Services — Insurance Topic for accounting and reporting of certain non traditional long-duration contracts and separate accounts. Separate account assets as presented in the tables above differ from the amounts presented in the consolidated statements of financial condition because cash and receivables for securities are not subject to the guidance under the Codification’s Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic.
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
The Codification’s Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell the asset or paid to transfer the liability at the measurement date. This “exit price” notion is a market-based measurement that requires a focus on the value that market participants would assign for an asset or liability.
The following section describes the valuation methodologies used by the Company to measure various types of financial instruments at fair value.

The fair values of fixed maturity securities available for sale, equity securities available for sale and trading securities are determined by management after considering external pricing sources and internal valuation techniques.
For securities with sufficient trading volume, prices are obtained from third-party pricing services. For structured or complex securities that are traded infrequently, estimated fair values are determined after evaluating prices obtained from third-party pricing services and independent brokers or are valued internally using various valuation techniques. Such techniques include matrix model pricing and internally developed models, which incorporate observable market data, where available. Matrix model pricing measures fair value using cash flows, which are discounted using observable market yield curves provided by a major independent data service. The matrix model determines the discount yield based upon significant factors that include the security’s weighted average life and rating.
Where matrix model pricing is not used, particularly for RMBS and other asset-backed securities, estimated fair values for these securities are determined by evaluating prices from third-party pricing services and independent brokers or other internally derived valuation models are utilized. The inputs used to measure fair value in the internal valuations include, but are not limited to, benchmark yields, issuer spreads, bids, offers, reported trades, and estimated projected cash flows that incorporate significant inputs such as defaults and delinquency rates, severity, subordination, vintage and prepayment speeds.
For non-agency RMBS backed by prime, sub-prime and Alt-A collateral, the Company determined in the first quarter of 2009 that there had been a significant decrease in the volume and level of transaction activity indicating the need for a valuation technique not solely based on observable transactions and/or quoted market prices. As permitted by guidance in the Codification’s Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic beginning March 31, 2009, the Company determined the estimated fair value for these assets utilizing an internally developed weighting of valuations derived from internal pricing models and independent pricing services. This approach utilized multiple valuation techniques incorporating an income approach (maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs) and a market approach (based on data provided by independent pricing services) produced a result more representative of an investment’s fair value as compared to a single valuation technique. The income approach incorporated cash flows for each investment adjusted for expected losses assuming various interest rates and housing price-level scenarios. The adjusted cash flows were discounted using a risk premium that market participants would demand given the risk in the modeled cash flows. The risk premium utilized was reflective of an orderly transaction between market participants under current market conditions and included considerations such as liquidity and structure risk. These internally generated prices were then reviewed in conjunction with prices obtained from multiple independent pricing services. The internally generated prices were weighted with the prices obtained from independent pricing services, with consideration given to the relative range of values that were most representative of fair value under the market conditions. These securities were classified as Level 3 financial assets.
During the fourth quarter of 2010, the Company determined that there has been an increase in the volume and level of trading activity for these non-agency RMBS, as indicated by a significant decrease in liquidity risk premiums and more consistency in prices quoted in the market. Therefore, the Company believes that the non-agency RMBS market is no longer an inactive market as of December 31, 2010. Beginning December 31, 2010, the Company primarily utilizes prices obtained from third-party pricing services to determine fair value for non-agency RMBS.

PL-43



 

Prices obtained from independent third-parties are generally evaluated based on the inputs indicated above. The Company’s management analyzes and evaluates these prices and determines whether they are reasonable estimates of fair value. Management’s analysis may include, but is not limited to, review of third-party pricing methodologies and inputs, analysis of recent trades, and development of internal models utilizing observable market data of comparable securities. Based on this analysis, prices received from third-parties may be adjusted if the Company determines that there is a more appropriate fair value based on available market information.
Most securities priced by a major independent third-party service have been classified as Level 2, as management has verified that the inputs used in determining their fair values are market observable and appropriate. Other externally priced securities for which fair value measurement inputs are not sufficiently transparent, such as securities valued based on broker quotations, have been classified as Level 3. Internally valued securities, including adjusted prices received from independent third-parties, where significant management assumptions have been utilized in determining fair value, have been classified as Level 3.
OTHER INVESTMENTS
Other investments include non-marketable equity securities that do not have readily determinable fair values. Certain significant inputs used in determining the fair value of these equities are based on management assumptions or contractual terms with another party that cannot be readily observable in the market. These investments are classified as Level 3 assets.
DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
Derivative instruments are reported at fair value using pricing valuation models, which utilize market data inputs or independent broker quotations. Excluding embedded derivatives, as of December 31, 2010, 99% of derivatives based upon notional values were priced by valuation models. The remaining derivatives were priced by broker quotations. The derivatives are valued using mid-market inputs that are predominantly observable in the market. Inputs used to value derivatives include, but are not limited to, interest swap rates, foreign currency forward and spot rates, credit spreads and correlations, interest and equity volatility and equity index levels. In accordance with the Codification’s Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic, a credit valuation analysis was performed for all derivative positions to measure the risk that one of the counterparties to the transaction will be unable to perform under the contractual terms (nonperformance risk) and was determined to be immaterial as of December 31, 2010.
The Company performs a monthly analysis on derivative valuations, which includes both quantitative and qualitative analysis. Examples of procedures performed include, but are not limited to, review of pricing statistics and trends, analyzing the impacts of changes in the market environment, and review of changes in market value for each derivative including those derivatives priced by brokers.
Derivative instruments classified as Level 2 primarily include interest rate, currency and certain credit default swaps. The derivative valuations are determined using pricing models with inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.
Derivative instruments classified as Level 3 include complex derivatives, such as equity options and swaps and certain credit default swaps. Also included in Level 3 classification for derivatives are embedded derivatives in certain insurance and reinsurance contracts. These derivatives are valued using pricing models, which utilize both observable and unobservable inputs and, to a lesser extent, broker quotations. A derivative instrument containing Level 1 or Level 2 inputs will be classified as a Level 3 financial instrument in its entirety if it has at least one significant Level 3 input.
The Company utilizes derivative instruments to manage the risk associated with certain assets and liabilities. However, the derivative instrument may not be classified within the same fair value hierarchy level as the associated assets and liabilities. Therefore, the realized and unrealized gains and losses on derivatives reported in Level 3 may not reflect the offsetting impact of the realized and unrealized gains and losses of the associated assets and liabilities.
VARIABLE ANNUITY GLB EMBEDDED DERIVATIVES
Fair values for variable annuity GLB and related reinsurance embedded derivatives are calculated based upon significant unobservable inputs using internally developed models because active, observable markets do not exist for those items. As a result, variable annuity GLB and related reinsurance embedded derivatives are categorized as Level 3. Below is a description of the Company’s fair value methodologies for these embedded derivatives.

PL-44



 

The Company’s fair value is calculated as an aggregation of fair value and additional risk margins including Behavior Risk Margin, Mortality Risk Margin and Credit Standing Adjustment. The resulting aggregation is reconciled or calibrated, if necessary, to market information that is, or may be, available to the Company, but may not be observable by other market participants, including reinsurance discussions and transactions. Each of the components described below are unobservable in the market place and requires subjectivity by the Company in determining their value.
    Behavior Risk Margin: This component adds a margin that market participants would require for the risk that the Company’s assumptions about policyholder behavior used in the fair value model could differ from actual experience.
 
    Mortality Risk Margin: This component adds a margin in mortality assumptions, both for decrements for policyholders with GLBs, and for expected payout lifetimes in guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefits.
 
    Credit Standing Adjustment: This component makes an adjustment that market participants would make to reflect the chance that GLB obligations or the GLB reinsurance recoverables will not be fulfilled (nonperformance risk).
SEPARATE ACCOUNT ASSETS
Separate account assets are primarily invested in mutual funds, but also have investments in fixed maturity and short-term securities. Separate account assets are valued in the same manner, and using the same pricing sources and inputs, as the fixed maturity and equity securities available for sale of the Company. Mutual funds are included in Level 1. Most fixed maturity securities are included in Level 2. Level 3 assets include any investments where fair value is based on management assumptions or obtained from independent third-parties and fair value measurement inputs are not sufficiently transparent.

The net transfers into Level 2 were primarily attributable to the increased availability and use of market observable inputs to estimate fair value. During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company did not have any significant transfers between Level 1 and 2.
During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company transferred $1,507 million of fixed maturity securities out of Level 2 and into Level 3, and transferred $1,868 million of fixed maturity securities out of Level 3 and into Level 2. The net transfers into Level 2 were primarily attributable to the increased availability and use of market observable inputs to estimate fair value. During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company did not have any significant transfers between Level 1 and Level 2.

    NONRECURRING FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
 
    Certain assets are measured at estimated fair value on a nonrecurring basis and are not included in the tables presented above. The amounts below relate to certain investments measured at estimated fair value during the year and still held at the reporting date.

    REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS
 
    During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company recognized an impairment of $27 million, which is included in OTTIs. The impaired investments presented above were accounted for using the cost basis. Real estate investments are evaluated for impairment based on the undiscounted cash flows expected to be received during the estimated holding period. When the undiscounted cash flows are less than the current carrying value of the property (gross cost less accumulated depreciation), the property may be considered impaired and written-down to its estimated fair value. Estimated fair value is determined using a combination of the present value of the expected future cash flows and comparable sales. These write-downs to estimated fair value represent nonrecurring fair value measurements that have been classified as Level 3 due to the limited activity and lack of price transparency inherent in the market for such investments.
 
    AIRCRAFT
 
    During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company recognized an impairment of $4 million, which is included in operating and other expenses, as a result of declines in the estimated future cash flows to be received from two aircraft. The Company evaluates carrying values of aircraft based upon changes in market and other physical and economic conditions and records write-offs to recognize losses in the value of aircraft when management believes that, based on future estimated cash flows, the recoverability of the Company’s investment in an aircraft has been impaired. The fair value is based on the present value of the future cash flows, which include contractual lease agreements, projected future lease payments as well as a residual value. The cash flows were based on unobservable inputs and have been classified as Level 3.
 
    The Company did not have any other nonfinancial assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis resulting from impairments as of December 31, 2010 and 2009. The Company has not made any changes in the valuation methodologies for nonfinancial assets and liabilities.

PL-48



 

    The carrying amount and estimated fair value of the Company’s financial instruments that are not carried at fair value under the Codification’s Financial Instruments Topic are as follows:

(1)   Balance excludes embedded derivatives that are included in the fair value hierarchy level tables above.
    The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of these financial instruments as of December 31, 2010 and 2009:
 
    MORTGAGE LOANS
 
    The estimated fair value of the mortgage loan portfolio is determined by discounting the estimated future cash flows, using current rates that are applicable to similar credit quality, property type and average maturity of the composite portfolio.
 
    POLICY LOANS
 
    Policy loans are not separable from their associated insurance contract and bear no credit risk since they do not exceed the contract’s cash surrender value, making these assets fully secured by the cash surrender values of the contracts. Therefore, the carrying amount of the policy loans is a reasonable approximation of their fair value.
 
    OTHER INVESTED ASSETS
 
    Included in other invested assets are private equity investments in which the estimated fair value of private equity investments is based on the ownership percentage of the underlying equity of the investments.
 
    CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
 
    The carrying values approximate fair values due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
 
    RESTRICTED CASH
 
    The carrying values approximate fair values due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
 
    FUNDING AGREEMENTS AND GICs
 
    The fair value of funding agreements and GICs is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

PL-49



 

    ANNUITY AND DEPOSIT LIABILITIES
 
    Annuity and deposit liabilities primarily includes policyholder deposits and accumulated credited interest. The estimated fair value of annuity and deposit liabilities approximates carrying value based on an analysis of discounted future cash flows with maturities similar to the product portfolio liabilities.
 
    DEBT
 
    The carrying amount of short-term debt is a reasonable estimate of its fair value because the interest rates are variable and based on current market rates. The estimated fair value of long-term debt is based on market quotes, except for VIE debt and non-recourse debt, for which the carrying amounts are reasonable estimates of their fair values because the interest rate approximates current market rates.

16.   REINSURANCE
 
    Certain no lapse guarantee rider (NLGR) benefits of Pacific Life’s UL insurance products are subject to Actuarial Guideline 38 (AG 38) statutory reserving requirements. AG 38 results in additional statutory reserves on UL products with NLGRs issued after June 30, 2005. U.S. GAAP benefit reserves for such riders are based on guidance in the Codification’s Financial Services — Insurance Topic for accounting and reporting of certain non traditional long-duration contracts and separate accounts. Substantially all the U.S. GAAP benefit reserves relating to NLGRs issued from June 30, 2005 through March 31, 2010 were ceded from Pacific Life to Pacific Alliance Reinsurance Ltd. (PAR Bermuda), a Bermuda-based life reinsurance company wholly owned by Pacific LifeCorp and PAR Vermont under reinsurance agreements. Effective October 1, 2010, 100% of the PAR Bermuda reinsurance was novated to PAR Vermont, consolidating all such NLGR reinsurance in PAR Vermont. Funded economic reserves and an irrevocable letter of credit held in the PAR Vermont trust account with Pacific Life as beneficiary provide security for statutory reserve credits taken by Pacific Life. See Note 21 for further discussion of this letter of credit.
 
    Between January 1, 2006 and March 31, 2009, the Company reinsured a portion of variable annuity business under modified coinsurance agreements. Additionally, between January 1, 2007 and March 31, 2009, the Company reinsured a portion of variable annuity living and death benefit riders under coinsurance agreements. Business ceded during such periods ranged between 12% and 45%. While the Company stopped reinsuring variable annuity business effective April 1, 2009, new business related to the aforementioned periods continues to be reinsured.
 
    Reinsurance receivables and payables generally include amounts related to claims, reserves and reserve related items. Reinsurance receivables, included in other assets, were $326 million and $404 million as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Reinsurance payables, included in other liabilities, were $47 million and $37 million as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
 
    The ceding of risk does not discharge the Company from its primary obligations to contract owners. To the extent that the assuming companies become unable to meet their obligations under reinsurance contracts, the Company remains contingently liable. Each reinsurer is reviewed to evaluate its financial stability before entering into each reinsurance contract and throughout the period that the reinsurance contract is in place.
 
    The components of insurance premiums presented in the consolidated statements of operations are as follows:

17.   EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
 
    PENSION PLANS
 
    Prior to December 31, 2007, Pacific Life provided a defined benefit pension plan (ERP) covering all eligible employees of the Company. Certain subsidiaries did not participate in this plan. The full-benefit vesting period for all participants was five years. Pacific Life’s funding policy was to contribute amounts to the plan sufficient to meet the minimum funding requirements set forth in ERISA, plus such additional amounts as was determined appropriate. All such contributions were made to a tax-exempt trust.
 
    The Company amended the ERP to terminate effective December 31, 2007. In anticipation of the final settlement of the defined benefit pension plan, the plan’s investment strategy was revised and the mutual fund investments were sold, transferred to a separate account group annuity contract managed by the Company and invested primarily in fixed income investments to better match the expected duration of the liabilities.
 
    In September 2009, the Company received regulatory approval to commence the final termination of the ERP and payment of plan benefits to the participants. The Company completed the final distribution of plan assets to participants in December 2009. The Company recognized settlement costs of $5 million in 2008 and recognized the final settlement costs for the ERP totaling $72 million in 2009.
 
    Pacific Life maintains supplemental employee retirement plans (SERPs) for certain eligible employees. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the projected benefit obligation was $44 million and $37 million, respectively. The fair value of plan assets as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 was zero. The net periodic benefit expense of the SERPs was $5 million, $4 million and $5 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
 
    The following table sets forth the benefit obligations, plan assets and funded status of the defined benefit plans:

    RETIREMENT INCENTIVE SAVINGS PLAN
 
    Pacific Life provides a Retirement Incentive Savings Plan (RISP) covering all eligible employees of Pacific LifeCorp and certain of its subsidiaries. The RISP matches 75% of each employee’s contributions, up to a maximum of 6% of eligible employee compensation in cash. Contributions made by the Company to the RISP, including the matching contribution, amounted to $27 million, $26 million and $29 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and are included in operating expenses.
 
    POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS
 
    Pacific Life provides a defined benefit health care plan and a defined benefit life insurance plan (the Plans) that provide postretirement benefits for all eligible retirees and their dependents. Generally, qualified employees may become eligible for these benefits if they have reached normal retirement age, have been covered under Pacific Life’s policy as an active employee for a minimum continuous period prior to the date retired, and have an employment date before January 1, 1990. The Plans contain cost-sharing features such as deductibles and coinsurance, and require retirees to make contributions, which can be adjusted annually. Pacific Life’s commitment to qualified employees who retire after April 1, 1994 is limited to specific dollar amounts. Pacific Life reserves the right to modify or terminate the Plans at any time. As in the past, the general policy is to fund these benefits on a pay-as-you-go basis.
 
    The net periodic postretirement benefit cost for each of the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 was $1 million. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the accumulated benefit obligation was $19 million. The fair value of the plan assets as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 was zero.
 
    The discount rate used in determining the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation was 4.85% and 5.50% for 2010 and 2009, respectively.

    Benefit payments for the year ended December 31, 2010 amounted to $2 million. The expected benefit payments are as follows for the years ending December 31 (In Millions):

    OTHER PLANS
 
    The Company has deferred compensation plans that permit eligible employees to defer portions of their compensation and earn interest on the deferred amounts. The interest rate is determined quarterly. The compensation that has been deferred has been accrued and the primary expense related to this plan, other than compensation, is interest on the deferred amounts. The Company also has performance-based incentive compensation plans for its employees.

    The provision (benefit) for income taxes is as follows:

    In December 2010, ACG and an unrelated third-party transferred aircraft to Singapore in connection with a joint venture (Singapore Transfer). The Singapore Transfer reduced the provision for income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2010 by $17 million, primarily due to the reversal of deferred taxes related to bases differences in the interest transferred. ACG plans to reinvest any income generated by these aircraft indefinitely outside of the U.S.

    During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company’s tax contingency related to the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes increased by $402 million for a tax position for which there was uncertainty about the timing, but not the deductibility, of certain tax deductions. Since the benefits of the tax position were not being claimed on an original return and the Company did not receive cash, interest or penalties were not accrued. Due to the nature of deferred tax accounting, the tax position does not have an impact on the annual effective tax rate.
 
    During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company’s contingency related to the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes decreased by $420 million. The Company resolved an uncertain tax accounting position on certain tax deductions resulting in a $402 million decrease. The Company also effectively settled $18 million of the gross uncertain tax position related to separate account Dividends Received Deductions (DRD), which resulted in the realization of $9 million of tax benefits.
 
    Depending on the outcome of Internal Revenue Service (IRS) audits, approximately $7 million of the unrecognized DRD tax benefits may be realized during the next twelve months. All realized tax benefits and related interest are recorded as a discrete item that will impact the effective tax rate in the accounting period in which the uncertain tax position is ultimately settled.
 
    During the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, the Company paid an insignificant amount of interest and penalties to state tax authorities.

    The tax net operating loss carryforwards relate to Federal tax losses incurred in 1998 through 2010 with a 20-year carryforward for non-life losses and a 15-year carryforward for life losses, and California tax losses incurred in 2004 through 2010 with a ten-year carryforward.
 
    The tax credit carryforwards relate to LIHTC, foreign tax credits, and alternative minimum tax (AMT) credits generated from 2000 to 2010. The LIHTC begin to expire in 2020. The foreign tax credits begin to expire in 2016. The AMT credits have no expiration date.
 
    The Codification’s Income Taxes Topic requires the reduction of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that a portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Based on management’s assessment, it is more likely than not that the Company’s deferred tax assets will be realized through future taxable income, including the reversal of deferred tax liabilities.
 
    The Company files income tax returns in U.S. Federal and various state jurisdictions. The Company is under continuous audit by the IRS and is audited periodically by some state taxing authorities. The IRS has completed audits of the Company’s tax returns through the tax years ended December 31, 2005 and has commenced audits for tax years 2006, 2007 and 2008. The State of California concluded audits for tax years 2003 and 2004 without material assessment. The Company does not expect the Federal and state audits to result in any material assessments.

19.   SEGMENT INFORMATION
 
    The Company has three operating segments: Life Insurance, Retirement Solutions and Aircraft Leasing. These segments are managed separately and have been identified based on differences in products and services offered. All other activity is included in the Corporate and Other segment.
 
    Prior to January 1, 2010, the Company’s financial reporting structure included the Investment Management segment. Effective January 1, 2010, structured settlement and group retirement annuities were moved to the Retirement Solutions segment. Other institutional investment products and the Company’s securities portfolio management became part of the Corporate and Other segment. The segment information included herein has been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the current operating segments for comparable purposes.
 
    The Life Insurance segment provides a broad range of life insurance products through multiple distribution channels operating in the upper income and corporate markets. Principal products include UL, VUL, survivor life, interest sensitive whole life, corporate-owned life insurance and traditional products such as whole life and term life. Distribution channels include regional life offices, marketing organizations, broker-dealer firms, wirehouses and M Financial, an association of independently owned and operated insurance and financial producers.
 
    The Retirement Solutions segment’s principal products include variable and fixed annuity products, mutual funds, and structured settlement and group retirement annuities, which are offered through multiple distribution channels. Distribution channels include independent planners, financial institutions and national/regional wirehouses. This segment’s name was changed from Annuities & Mutual Funds effective March 1, 2010.
 
    The Aircraft Leasing segment offers aircraft leasing to the airline industry throughout the world and provides brokerage and asset management services to other third-parties.
 
    The Corporate and Other segment consists of assets and activities, which support the Company’s operating segments. Included in these support activities is the management of investments, certain entity level hedging activities and other expenses and other assets not directly attributable to the operating segments. The Corporate and Other segment also includes the operations of certain subsidiaries that do not qualify as operating segments and the elimination of intersegment transactions. Discontinued operations (Note 6) are also included in the Corporate and Other segment.
 
    The Company uses the same accounting policies and procedures to measure segment net income (loss) and assets as it uses to measure its consolidated net income (loss) and assets. Net investment income and net realized investment gain (loss) are allocated based on invested assets purchased and held as is required for transacting the business of that segment. Overhead expenses are allocated based on services provided. Interest expense is allocated based on the short-term borrowing needs of the segment and is included in net investment income. The provision (benefit) for income taxes is allocated based on each segment’s actual tax provision (benefit).
 
    The operating segments, excluding Aircraft Leasing, are allocated equity based on formulas determined by management and receive a fixed interest rate of return on interdivision debentures supporting the allocated equity. The debenture amount is reflected as investment expense in net investment income in the Corporate and Other segment and as investment income in the operating segments.
 
    The Company generates substantially all of its revenues and net income from customers located in the U.S. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company had foreign investments with an estimated fair value of $8.0 billion and $7.2 billion, respectively. Aircraft leased to foreign customers were $5.1 billion and $5.0 billion as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Revenues derived from any customer did not exceed 10% of consolidated total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008.

20.   TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
 
    PLFA serves as the investment adviser for the Pacific Select Fund, an investment vehicle provided to the Company’s variable life insurance policyholders and variable annuity contract owners, and the Pacific Life Funds, the investment vehicle for the Company’s mutual fund products. Investment advisory and other fees are based primarily upon the net asset value of the underlying portfolios. These fees, included in investment advisory fees and other income, amounted to $291 million, $244 million and $287 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. In addition, Pacific Life provides certain support services to the Pacific Select Fund, the Pacific Life Funds and other affiliates based on an allocation of actual costs. These fees amounted to $8 million, $9 million and $7 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
 
    Additionally, the Pacific Select Fund has a service plan whereby the fund pays PSD, as distributor of the fund, a service fee in connection with services rendered or procured to or for shareholders of the fund or their variable contract owners. These services may include, but are not limited to, payment of compensation to broker-dealers, including PSD itself, and other financial institutions

PL-60



 

    and organizations, which assist in providing any of the services. For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, PSD received $100 million, $86 million and $100 million, respectively, in service fees from the Pacific Select Fund, which are recorded in other income.
 
    ACG has derivative swap contracts with Pacific LifeCorp as the counterparty. The notional amounts total $1.5 billion and $2.0 billion as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The estimated fair values of the derivatives were net liabilities of $62 million and $48 million as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
 
21.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
    COMMITMENTS

    The Company leases office facilities under various operating leases, which in most, but not all cases, are noncancelable. Rent expense, which is included in operating and other expenses, in connection with these leases was $9 million, $8 million and $10 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. In connection with the sale of a block of business in 2005, PL&A is contingently liable until March 31, 2013 for certain future rent and expense obligations, not to exceed $11 million, related to an office lease that has been assigned to the buyer. Aggregate minimum future commitments are as follows (In Millions):

    ACG entered into a sale leaseback transaction, the subject of which was two commercial aircraft on long-term lease to a U.S. airline. As a result of this transaction, ACG has committed to two operating leases expiring December 2025 and in turn benefits from operating leases on the two sale leaseback aircraft which expire July 2021 and April 2024. Aggregate minimum future lease commitments and minimum rentals to be received in the future are as follows (In Millions):

Total
  $ 98       $109  
     

PL-61



 

    As of December 31, 2010, ACG has commitments with major aircraft manufacturers and other third-parties to purchase aircraft at an estimated delivery price of $6,125 million with delivery from 2011 through 2017. These purchase commitments may be funded:
    up to $1,205 million in less than one year,
 
    an additional $2,297 million in one to three years,
 
    an additional $1,699 million in three to five years, and
 
    an additional $417 million thereafter.
    As of December 31, 2010, deposits related to these agreements totaled $507 million and are included in other assets.
 
    In connection with an acquisition in 2005, ACG assumed residual value support agreements with remaining expiration dates ranging from 2011 to 2015. The gross remaining residual value exposure under these agreements was $99 million as of December 31, 2010 and 2009. As of December 31, 2010, the Company has estimated that it has no measurable liability under the remaining residual value guarantee agreements.
 
    In connection with the reinsurance of NLGR benefits ceded from Pacific Life to PAR Vermont (Note 16), PAR Bermuda and PAR Vermont entered into a three year letter of credit agreement with a group of banks in April 2009. This agreement allows for the issuance of letters of credit with an expiration date of March 2012 to PAR Bermuda and PAR Vermont for up to a combined total amount of $650 million. As of December 31, 2010, the letter of credit issued from this facility for PAR Bermuda was cancelled. In addition, as of December 31, 2010, a letter of credit was issued for PAR Vermont totaling $355 million. Pacific LifeCorp guarantees the obligations of PAR Vermont under the letter of credit agreement.
 
    On March 29, 2010, the Company entered into an agreement with PLR to guarantee the performance of unaffiliated reinsurance obligations of PLR. PLR will pay the Company a fee for its guarantee. For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company earned $2 million under the agreement for its guarantee. This guarantee is secondary to a similar guarantee provided by Pacific LifeCorp and would only be triggered in the event of nonperformance by both PLR and Pacific LifeCorp. Management believes that any additional obligations, if any, related to the guarantee agreement are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. PLR is incorporated in the United Kingdom (UK) and provides reinsurance to insurance and annuity providers in the UK, Ireland and to insurers in selected markets in Asia.
 
    CONTINGENCIES — LITIGATION
 
    The Company is a respondent in a number of legal proceedings, some of which involve allegations for extra-contractual damages. Although the Company is confident of its position in these matters, success is not a certainty and it is possible that in any case a judge or jury could rule against the Company. In the opinion of management, the outcome of such proceedings is not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position. The Company believes adequate provision has been made in its consolidated financial statements for all probable and estimable losses for litigation claims against the Company.
 
    CONTINGENCIES — IRS REVENUE RULING
 
    On August 16, 2007, the IRS issued Revenue Ruling 2007-54, which provided the IRS’ interpretation of tax law regarding the computation of the DRD. On September 25, 2007, the IRS issued Revenue Ruling 2007-61, which suspended Revenue Ruling 2007-54 and indicated the IRS would address the proper interpretation of tax law in a regulation project that is on the IRS’ priority guidance plan. Although no guidance has been issued, if the IRS ultimately adopts the interpretation contained in Revenue Ruling 2007-54, the Company could lose a substantial amount of DRD tax benefits, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
    CONTINGENCIES — OTHER
 
    In connection with the sale of certain broker-dealer subsidiaries (Note 6), certain indemnifications triggered by breaches of representations, warranties or covenants were provided by the Company. Also, included in the indemnifications is indemnification for certain third-party claims arising from the normal operation of these broker-dealers prior to the closing and within the nine month period following the sale. Management believes that judgments, if any, against the Company related to such matters are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
    In the course of its business, the Company provides certain indemnifications related to other dispositions, acquisitions, investments, lease agreements or other transactions that are triggered by, among other things, breaches of representations, warranties or covenants provided by the Company. These obligations are typically subject to time limitations that vary in duration,

PL-62



 

    including contractual limitations and those that arise by operation of law, such as applicable statutes of limitation. Because the amounts of these types of indemnifications often are not explicitly stated, the overall maximum amount of the obligation under such indemnifications cannot be reasonably estimated. The Company has not historically made material payments for these types of indemnifications. The estimated maximum potential amount of future payments under these obligations is not determinable due to the lack of a stated maximum liability for certain matters, and therefore, no related liability has been recorded. Management believes that judgments, if any, against the Company related to such matters are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
    Most of the jurisdictions in which the Company is admitted to transact business require life insurance companies to participate in guaranty associations, which are organized to pay contractual benefits owed pursuant to insurance policies issued by insolvent life insurance companies. These associations levy assessments, up to prescribed limits, on all member companies in a particular state based on the proportionate share of premiums written by member companies in the lines of business in which the insolvent insurer operated. The Company has not received notification of any insolvency that is expected to result in a material guaranty fund assessment.
 
    The Asset Purchase Agreements of Aviation Trust, ACG Trust II and ACG Trust III (Note 4) provide that Pacific LifeCorp will guarantee the performance of certain obligations of ACG, as well as provide certain indemnifications, and that Pacific Life will assume certain obligations of ACG arising from the breach of certain representations and warranties under the Asset Purchase Agreements. Management believes that obligations, if any, related to these guarantees are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The financial debt obligations of Aviation Trust, ACG Trust II and ACG Trust III are non-recourse to the Company and are not guaranteed by the Company.
 
    In connection with the operations of certain subsidiaries, Pacific Life has made commitments to provide for additional capital funding as may be required.
 
    See Note 10 for discussion of contingencies related to derivative instruments.
 
    See Note 18 for discussion of other contingencies related to income taxes.

MORE ON THE OPTIONAL RIDERS
 
We offer optional Riders that provide extra benefits. Ask your insurance professional for additional information about the Riders available with the Policy. Samples of the provisions for the extra optional benefits are available from us upon Written Request.
 
Accelerated Living Benefits Rider
 
Gives the Policy Owner access to a portion of the Policy’s Death Benefit if the Insured has been diagnosed with a terminal illness resulting in a life expectancy of six months or less (or longer than six months in some states). We refer to this amount as the accelerated benefit. If you have Policy Debt, we will reduce the accelerated benefit proceeds payable to repay a portion of the loan. We may also deduct an administrative fee of $150 from your accelerated benefit.
 
You may choose to receive the accelerated benefit either in a lump sum or any other payment plan available at the time of payment. We will pay the benefit only once per Insured.
 
Payment of the accelerated benefit will reduce the Death Benefit under your Policy and any Riders used in calculating the available accelerated benefit. It will also reduce any Policy Debt.
 
Benefits received under this Rider may be taxable, and may impact your eligibility for Medicaid or other government benefits. Please consult your tax adviser if you want to exercise your rights under this Rider.
 
You may purchase this Rider at Policy issue or any time while the Policy is In Force. The Rider will terminate on the earliest of your Written Request, on lapse or termination of the Policy, or when an accelerated benefit is paid under this Rider.
 
Accidental Death Rider
 
Provides additional insurance coverage when we receive proof that the Insured’s death results directly and independently of all other causes from bodily injuries accidentally sustained, subject to the Rider’s provisions. Death must occur within 120 days of injuries and while the Rider was in effect. You may purchase the Rider at Policy issue for an Insured between Age 5 through 65, subject to satisfactory evidence of insurability. The monthly charge will be shown in your Policy Specifications.
 
The Rider terminates on the earliest of your Written Request, on lapse or termination of the Policy, or when the Insured reaches Age 70.
 
Annual Renewable Term Rider
 
Provides term insurance on the Insured and is renewable annually until the Policy terminates. The Rider is available for Insureds Age 90 or younger at the time of Rider issue. The Rider modifies the Death Benefit of the Policy to include the Face Amount of the Rider, so that the Death Benefit equals the greater of the Death Benefit as calculated under 1) the Death Benefit Option you choose on the Policy plus the Face Amount of the Rider, or 2) the Minimum Death Benefit under the Death Benefit Qualification Test you have chosen. The amount of coverage can be level or vary every year and may follow any pattern, subject to underwriting approval, to match your need for insurance. Annual increases are scheduled at issue. You may also request unscheduled increases or decreases in Face Amount of the Rider, subject to certain limitations.
 
The guaranteed monthly cost of insurance rate and monthly coverage charge will be shown in your Policy Specifications. Our current cost of insurance rates for the Rider are lower than the guaranteed rates. The current charge for this Rider is $0.
 
You may request increases or decreases in Face Amount of the Rider. Each increase will be subject to satisfactory evidence of insurability and will have associated cost of insurance and coverage charges. Unless you request otherwise, the increase will become effective on the first Monthly Payment Date on or following the date we receive and approve your request. We may deduct an administrative charge not to exceed $100 from your Policy’s Accumulated Value on the effective date of any unscheduled increase. You must send a Written


1



 

Request if you wish to decrease the Face Amount of this Rider. Decreases will be effective on the first Monthly Payment Date on or following the date the Written Request is received at our Life Insurance Operations Center. Decreases will first be applied against the most recent increase, if any, and then against successively earlier increases, if any, and finally against the original Annual Renewable Term Rider Face Amount.
 
The Rider will terminate on the earliest of your Written Request, or on lapse or termination of this Policy.
 
Annual Renewable Term Rider – Additional Insured
 
Provides annual renewable term insurance on any member of the Insured’s immediate family who is Age 90 or younger at the time the Rider is issued. We refer to each person insured under the Rider as a covered person. You have the flexibility to delete a covered person from the Rider, or, with satisfactory evidence of insurability, you may add a covered person. We may deduct an administrative charge not to exceed $100 from your Policy’s Accumulated Value on the effective date of any such addition of a covered person.
 
At any time while the Rider is in effect and before any covered person reaches Age 65, you may convert the Rider to a whole life or any higher premium plan we regularly issue at the time of the conversion. The Rider may also be converted during the first two years it is in effect, regardless of the covered person’s Age, or upon the death of the Insured under the Policy. If you convert the Rider, a new Policy will be issued on the covered person and coverage under the Rider will terminate.
 
The guaranteed monthly cost of insurance rates for each covered person will be shown in your Policy Specifications. Our current cost of insurance rates for the Rider are lower than the guaranteed rates.
 
The Rider will terminate on the earliest of your Written Request, on lapse or termination of the Policy, or when the last covered person reaches Age 121.
 
Children’s Term Rider
 
Provides term insurance until Age 25 on any child of the Insured, including a natural child, step-child or adopted child. To be eligible for coverage, the Insured must be Age 55 or younger, and the child must be Age 21 or younger at Policy issue and named in the application for this Rider or born or adopted thereafter. Newborn children are covered from 14 days of age. The term insurance under the Rider may be converted for a new policy on each child on the earlier of the child’s 25th birthday or the date the Insured becomes Age 65, as long as the child is still living. If the Insured dies before the conversion date, the term insurance on each child will become paid-up and a separate policy for the paid-up insurance will be issued with the child as owner. For each child, if you convert the Rider, or if paid-up insurance is issued, coverage for that child under the Rider will terminate. The monthly charge will be shown in your Policy Specifications.
 
Disability Benefit Rider
 
Provides a monthly addition to the Policy’s Accumulated Value when the Insured has a qualifying disability as stated in the Rider provisions, until he or she reaches Age 65. You may purchase the Rider only at Policy issue. The monthly charge for the Rider appears in your Policy Specifications.
 
This Rider is not available if you select a Waiver of Charges Rider.
 
The Rider will terminate on the earliest of your Written Request, on termination of this Policy, or when the Insured becomes Age 60.
 
Guaranteed Insurability Rider
 
Gives the right to buy additional insurance on the life of the Insured on specified dates without proof of insurability. The Rider is available for an Insured who is not in a substandard Risk Class and is Age 37 or younger when the Policy is issued. Subject to certain conditions, you may have some flexibility to change the option dates.
 
Charges and option dates for this Rider appear in your Policy Specifications. To add the additional insurance, we must receive your Written Request within 31 days of the option date for that additional coverage. The increase in


2



 

Face Amount will take effect on the option date if the Insured is then living. Any option not exercised on its option date will expire.
 
The Rider will terminate on the earliest of your Written Request, on lapse or termination of the Policy, or 31 days after the last option date.
 
Waiver of Charges Rider
 
Waives any monthly cost of insurance charges, administrative charges and coverage charges for the Policy, and any monthly cost of any Rider benefits which fall due while the Insured is totally disabled, under the provisions of the Rider. We will not waive any charges that are due more than one year before we receive proof of total disability, or which fall due before the Insured’s Age 5. The monthly charge for the Rider appears in your Policy Specifications.
 
The Rider is available for Insureds Age 55 or younger who are not in a substandard Risk Class. You may purchase the Rider at Policy issue or any time while the Policy is In Force. If you request to purchase the Rider after your Policy is issued, we may charge you an underwriting service fee of $100 at the time of your request. If regular evidence of insurability for new life insurance is being submitted, no additional evidence of insurability for a Waiver of Charges Rider is usually needed. If you apply for an increase in Face Amount under an insurability option or conversion option, and if the Waiver of Charges Rider was included in the original coverage, the evidence needed to include the Waiver of Charges Rider on the new insurance is a statement that the Insured is not totally disabled. Except as stated above, satisfactory evidence of insurability is required.
 
This Rider is not available if you select a Disability Benefit Rider.
 
The Rider will terminate (without affecting any claim for disability occurring before such termination) on the earliest of your Written Request, on lapse or termination of this Policy, or when the Insured reaches Age 60.
 
PREMIUM LIMITATIONS
 
Federal tax law puts limits on the amount of premium payments you can make in relation to your Policy’s Death Benefit. These limits apply in the following situations.
 
Guideline Premium Limit
 
If you have chosen the Guideline Premium Test as your Death Benefit Qualification Test, the total amount you can pay in premiums and still have your Policy qualify as life insurance is your Policy’s Guideline Premium Limit. The sum of the premiums paid, less any withdrawals, at any time cannot exceed the Guideline Premium Limit, which is the greater of:
 
  •  the guideline single premium or
  •  the sum of the guideline level annual premiums.
 
We may refuse to accept all or part of a premium payment if, by accepting it, you will exceed your Policy’s Guideline Premium Limit. If we find that you have exceeded your Guideline Premium Limit, we may remove all or part of a premium you have paid from your Policy as of the day we applied it, and return it to you. We will adjust the Death Benefit retroactively to that date to reflect the reduction in premium payments.
 
Your Policy’s guideline single premium and guideline level annual premiums appear on your Policy Specifications. Before you buy a Policy, you can ask us or your insurance professional for a personalized Illustration that will show you the guideline single premium and guideline level annual premiums.
 
Modified Endowment Contract
 
A life insurance policy will become a Modified Endowment Contract if the sum of premium payments made during the first seven contract years, less a portion of withdrawals, exceeds the seven-pay limit defined in Section 7702A of the Internal Revenue Code. You will find a detailed discussion of Modified Endowment Contracts in Variable Life Insurance and Your Taxes in the prospectus.


3



 

 
Unless you have told us in writing that you want your Policy to become a Modified Endowment Contract, we will remove all or part of the premium payment from your Policy as of the day we applied it and return it to you. We will also adjust the Death Benefit retroactively to that date to reflect the reduction in premium payments. If we receive such a premium within 20 days before your Policy Anniversary, we will hold it and apply it to your Policy on the Policy Anniversary.
 
In both of these situations, if we remove an excess premium from your Policy, we will return the premium amount to you no later than 60 days after the end of the Policy Year. We may adjust the amount for interest or for changes in Accumulated Value that relate to the amount of the excess premium we are returning to you.
 
If we do not return the premium amount to you within that time, we will increase your Policy’s Death Benefit retroactively, to the day we applied the premium, and prospectively so that it is always the amount necessary to ensure your Policy qualifies as life insurance, or to prevent it from becoming a Modified Endowment Contract. If we increase your Death Benefit, we will adjust cost of insurance or Rider charges retroactively and prospectively to reflect the increase.
 
Increasing the Net Amount At Risk
 
An increase in the Net Amount At Risk occurs if the Policy’s Death Benefit is equal to the Minimum Death Benefit, or would be equal to it once we apply your premium payment. We may choose to accept your premium payment in this situation, but before we do so, we may require satisfactory evidence of the insurability of the Insured.
 
TRANSFER SERVICES
 
You may only participate in one transfer service at any time.
 
Dollar Cost Averaging
 
Our dollar cost averaging service allows you to make scheduled transfers of $50 or more between Variable Investment Options without paying a transfer fee. Here’s how the service works:
 
  •  You can set up this service at any time while your Policy is In Force.
  •  You need to complete a request form to enroll in the service. You may enroll by telephone or electronically if we have your completed telephone and electronic authorization on file.
  •  You must have at least $5,000 in a Variable Investment Option to start the service.
  •  We will automatically transfer Accumulated Value from one Variable Investment Option to one or more of the other Variable Investment Options you have selected.
  •  We will process transfers as of the end of the Business Day on your Policy’s monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual anniversary, depending on the interval you have chosen. We will not make the first transfer until after the Free Look Transfer Date in states that require us to return your premiums if you exercise your Free Look Right.
  •  We will not charge you for the dollar cost averaging service or for transfers made under this service, even if we decide to charge you in the future for transfers outside of the service, except if we have to by law.
  •  We have the right to discontinue, modify or suspend the service at any time.
  •  We will keep making transfers at the intervals you have chosen until one of the following happens:
• the total amount you have asked us to transfer has been transferred
• there is no more Accumulated Value in the Investment Option you are transferring from
• your Policy enters the grace period and is in danger of lapsing
• we receive your Written Request to cancel the service
• we discontinue the service.

Portfolio Rebalancing
 
The portfolio rebalancing service automatically transfers your Policy’s Accumulated Value among the Variable Investment Options according to your original percentage allocations. Here’s how the service works:
 
  •  You can set up this service at any time while your Policy is In Force.
  •  You enroll in the service by sending us a Written Request or a completed Automatic Rebalancing Form. You may enroll by telephone or electronically if we have your completed telephone and electronic authorization on file.
  •  Unless you choose a different start date, your first rebalancing will take place at the end of the Business Day we receive your request. Subsequent rebalancing will take place at the end of the Business Day on your Policy’s quarterly, semi-annual or annual anniversary, depending on the interval you chose.
  •  We will not make the first transfer until after the Free Look Transfer Date, if your Policy was issued in a state that requires us to return your premiums if you exercise your Free Look Right.
  •  If you cancel this service, you must wait 30 days to begin it again.
  •  We do not charge for the portfolio rebalancing service, and we do not currently charge for transfers made under this service.
  •  We can discontinue, suspend or change the service at any time.
 
First Year Transfer
 
Our first year transfer service allows you to make monthly transfers from the Fixed Account to the Variable Investment Options or the Fixed LT Account during the first 12 Policy months from the date your initial premium is applied to your Policy. Here’s how the service works:
 
  •  You enroll in the service when you apply for your Policy and include specific details on your application.
  •  You choose a regular amount to be transferred every month for 12 months.
  •  Transfers under the first year transfer service take place on your Policy’s Monthly Payment Date, starting on the first Monthly Payment Date following the Free Look Transfer Date.
  •  If you sign up for this service, we will waive the usual transfer limit for the Fixed Account during the first 12 Policy months from the date your initial premium is applied to your Policy.
  •  If we make the last transfer during the second Policy Year, we will not count it toward the usual one transfer per year limit for the Fixed Account.
  •  If the Accumulated Value in the Fixed Account is less than the amount to be transferred, we will transfer the balance and then cancel the service.
  •  If there is Accumulated Value remaining in the Fixed Account at the end of the service, the transfer limitations for the Fixed Account will apply.
  •  We do not charge for the first year transfer service, and we do not currently charge for transfers made under this service.
 
Fixed Option Interest Sweep
 
The Fixed Option interest sweep service allows you to make scheduled transfers of the accumulated interest earnings from your Fixed Account or Fixed LT Account to the Variable Investment Options. Here’s how the service works:
 
  •  You can set up this service at any time while your Policy is In Force.
  •  You enroll in the service by sending us a Written Request.
  •  You may enroll by telephone or electronically if we have your completed telephone and electronic authorization on file.
  •  If you cancel this service, you must wait 30 days to begin it again.
  •  We do not charge for the Fixed Option interest sweep service, and we do not currently charge for transfers made under this service.
  •  We can discontinue, suspend or change the service at any time.
  •  Interest earnings transferred from the Fixed Options to the Variable Investment Options are excluded from the transfer limitations.

WITHDRAWAL FEATURES
 
Automated Income Option
 
Our automated income option (“AIO”) program allows you to make scheduled withdrawals or loans. Here’s how the program works:
 
  •  You can set up the income stream from your Policy on either a monthly or annual basis. Each scheduled income payment must be at least $500 if you choose to receive monthly payments, or $1,000 if you choose annual payments.
  •  You may choose to receive either a fixed amount of income or an amount based on a fixed duration. Depending upon your objectives, you may wish to reduce your Face Amount or change your Policy’s Death Benefit Option in order to maximize your income.
  •  You choose the scheduled income payment date. You may elect to have your income payments sent either by check or by electronic deposit to a bank account. The effective date of the withdrawal or loan will be the Business Day before any income payment date.
  •  If the scheduled income payment date falls on a weekend or holiday, the actual income payment date will be the Business Day before the scheduled income payment date.
  •  The withdrawal or loan will be taken from your Policy’s Investment Options in proportion to the Accumulated Value in each Investment Option.
 
Upon our receipt of your AIO request form, we will run a hypothetical Illustration to determine if your request can be fulfilled, or if any adjustments will be necessary. We use the Illustration to test your Policy for the minimum Net Cash Surrender Value requirement. Your Policy must continue to have an illustrated Net Cash Surrender Value at the maturity date sufficient to meet the minimum Accumulated Value required to allow for payment of Policy charges, including Policy loan interest.
 
Illustrations generally will be run at an annual gross earnings rate chosen by you, not to exceed 10%. No earnings rate used is a guarantee or indication of actual earnings.
 
We will complete an AIO agreement form, and send it and the Illustration to your insurance professional for delivery to you. The AIO agreement form will confirm your income payment amount, frequency and duration, and will also confirm your Policy’s cost basis and other information about your elections under the AIO program.
 
Unless you request otherwise, distributions under the AIO program will be taken first as withdrawals if not taxable, then they will be taken as loans.
 
Payments under the AIO program will begin as scheduled once we receive your signed AIO agreement form. We will send you a letter confirming the date and amount of the first income payment.
 
The income payments will usually remain constant during each income period, unless there is insufficient Net Cash Surrender Value to make a payment. The duration of each income period is one year, except that the first income period may differ depending on the following:
 
  •  If the AIO program start date is six months or more from your next Policy Anniversary, the income period will end on the next Policy Anniversary. In this case, the first income period will last at least six months, but not more than one year.
  •  If the AIO program start date is less than six months from your next Policy Anniversary, the income period will extend to the following Policy Anniversary. In this case, the first income period will last at least one year, but no more than 18 months.
 
After the first income period, and each year you remain in the AIO program, we will run an Illustration after each Policy Anniversary. The Illustration will generally be run at a rate chosen by you, not to exceed a gross annual rate of 10%. Your Policy must continue to have an illustrated Net Cash Surrender Value at the maturity date sufficient to meet the minimum Accumulated Value required to allow for payment of Policy charges, including Policy loan interest. There is no charge for Illustrations we run in connection with the AIO program. They do not count toward your one free Illustration per year.


6



 

We will send you a letter and the Illustration to notify you of any changes in your income payment amount or duration. The new income payment amount will be effective on the income payment date following the previous income period.
 
Over time, your Policy’s actual performance, and perhaps your use of the Policy’s options are likely to vary from the assumptions used in the Illustrations. Changes in your Policy’s Investment Option allocations can impact your future values and income you receive. Your Policy may also be susceptible to lapse.
 
You are responsible to monitor your Policy’s Accumulated Value to ensure your Policy is not in danger of lapsing. You may need to make additional premium payments or loan repayments to prevent your Policy from lapsing. You will not receive a notice to remind you of your scheduled premium payments while you are in the AIO program.
 
MORE ON POLICY CHARGES
 
Underwriting Methods and Nonstandard Ratings
 
We normally use the medical or paramedical method to assign underwriting or insurance Risk Classes, which may require a medical examination. We offer two additional forms of underwriting for executive and employee groups that meet specified multi-life guidelines.
 
Guaranteed issue may be available where an employer-employee relationship exists and where at least 10 lives will be insured. To be eligible, prospective Insureds must be employed in an occupation or industry we consider an acceptable risk, must be full time employees or executives, and must be actively at work on a continuous basis during the 3-month period preceding application for insurance. Maximum Age for an Insured at Policy issue is usually 65, but may be increased to Age 70 if representing less than 5% of the group of Insureds. Cost of insurance rates distinguish between executive only groups and all-employee groups, instead of on individual underwriting information.
 
Simplified issue may be offered where the group does not qualify for guaranteed issue. Simplified issue is a process of limited underwriting using a short form application that includes health and avocation questions to be completed by each prospective Insured. We may request additional information, including an attending physician’s statement, but will not require a physical examination. Simplified issue is available to executives only, under similar criteria as guaranteed issue, except for lower participation levels and generally higher death benefits permitted per life. Cost of insurance rates are based on both individual underwriting information and executive class experience.
 
The current cost of insurance rates are generally higher for Policies issued under the guaranteed issue or simplified issue underwriting methods than for Policies issued under the fully underwritten medical or paramedical underwriting method. Guaranteed cost of insurance charges are not affected.
 
The guaranteed rates include the insurance risks associated with insuring one person. They are calculated using 2001 Commissioners Standard Ordinary Mortality Tables (gender blended tables are used for unisex cost of insurance rates). The rates are also based on the Age and gender of the Insured unless unisex rates are required.
 
If we determine from the application for insurance, or any later evidence of insurability, that the Insured presents a risk not accounted for by our standard Risk Classes, typically due to medical history, profession or hobby, we may still issue a Coverage Layer with higher or additional charges, referred to as a nonstandard rating. Most insurance companies have a similar process. The Policy charges may be multiplied by a nonstandard table factor. In certain cases, there may be an additional flat-rate charge for a period specified at the time the Coverage Layer is issued. If we determine that a nonstandard rating applies to your Coverage Layer, you will be notified of the applicable charges, inclusive of any additional rate or charge, at the time the Coverage Layer is issued.
 
Changes in Face Amount
 
Net Premiums you pay are allocated to the Accumulated Value in your base Policy and any charges, withdrawals and distributions are subtracted from that Accumulated Value.


7



 

 
Instead, to determine the cost of insurance charge on each Coverage Layer, as described in the prospectus under Your Policy’s Accumulated Value, we discount the total Death Benefit for all Coverage Layers that would have been payable at the beginning of the Policy month and subtract the Accumulated Value in the base Policy at the beginning of the month before the monthly charge is due to determine the total Net Amount At Risk for all Coverage Layers. We then prorate the Net Amount At Risk for each Coverage Layer in the same proportion that the Face Amount of each Coverage Layer bears to the Total Face Amount for all Coverage Layers. The Net Amount At Risk for each Coverage Layer is multiplied by the current COI rate for that Coverage Layer.
 
If you elect Death Benefit Option C, your Death Benefit on the base Policy is your base Policy’s Face Amount plus any premium payments you make and less any withdrawals and distributions, subject to a maximum Death Benefit disclosed in your Policy Specifications. If you elect Death Benefit Option C and your Policy’s Death Benefit equals the maximum Death Benefit as shown in your Policy Specifications, the Death Benefit provided by each Coverage Layer will be reduced proportionately for purposes of calculating the Net Amount At Risk. Unless you tell us which Coverage Layer(s) to reduce.
 
MORE ON VARIABLE LIFE INSURANCE AND YOUR TAXES
 
This discussion about taxes is based on our understanding of the present federal income tax laws as they are currently interpreted by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). It is based on the Internal Revenue Code (the Tax Code) and does not cover any state or local tax laws. This is not a complete discussion of all federal income tax questions that may arise under the Policy. There are special rules that we do not include here that may apply in certain situations.
 
We do not make any guarantees about the tax status of your Policy, and you should not consider the discussion that follows to be tax advice. Speak to a qualified tax adviser for complete information about federal, state and local taxes that may apply to you.
 
We do not know whether the current treatment of life insurance policies under current federal income tax or estate or gift tax laws will continue. We also do not know whether the current interpretations of the laws by the IRS or the courts will remain the same. Future legislation may adversely change the tax treatment of life insurance policies, other tax consequences described in this discussion and in the Policy prospectus section Variable Life Insurance and Your Taxes or tax consequences that relate directly or indirectly to life insurance policies.
 
Mortality and Expense Charges
 
The Tax Code and tax regulations impose limitations on unreasonable mortality and expense charges for purposes of determining whether a policy qualifies as life insurance for federal tax purposes. For life insurance policies entered into on or after October 21, 1988, these calculations must be based upon reasonable mortality charges and other charges reasonably expected to be actually paid.
 
The Treasury Department has issued proposed regulations about reasonable standards for mortality charges. While we believe that our mortality costs and other expenses used in calculating whether the Policy qualifies as life insurance are reasonable under current laws, we cannot be sure that the IRS agrees with us. We can change our mortality charges if we believe the changes are needed to ensure that your Policy qualifies as a life insurance Policy.
 
Investor Control
 
For a variable life insurance policy to qualify for tax deferral, assets in the separate accounts supporting the Policy must be considered to be owned by the insurance company and not by the policy owner. Under current U.S. tax law, if a policy owner has excessive control over the investments made by a separate account, or the underlying fund, the policy owner will be taxed currently on income and gains from the account or fund. In other words, in such a case of “investor control” the policy owner would not derive the tax benefits normally associated with variable life insurance.


8



 

 
The application of the investor control doctrine is subject to some uncertainty. Generally, according to the IRS, there are two ways that impermissible investor control may exist. The first relates to the design of the Policy or the relationship between the Policy and a separate account or underlying fund. For example, at various times, the IRS has focused on, among other factors, the number and type of investment choices available pursuant to a given Policy, whether the Policy offers access to funds that are available to the general public, the number of transfers that a policy owner may make from one investment option to another, and the degree to which a policy owner may select or control particular investments.
 
With respect to this first aspect of investor control, we believe that the design of our Policies and the relationship between our Policies and the portfolios satisfy the current view of the IRS on this subject, such that the investor control doctrine should not apply. However, because of some uncertainty with respect to this subject and because the IRS may issue further guidance on this subject, we reserve the right to make such changes as we deem necessary or appropriate to reduce the risk that your Policy might not qualify as a life insurance policy for tax purposes.
 
The second way that impermissible investor control might exist concerns your actions. Under the IRS pronouncements, you may not select or control particular investments, other than choosing among broad investment choices such as selecting a particular portfolio. You may not select or direct the purchase or sale of a particular investment of a portfolio. All investment decisions concerning the portfolios must be made by the portfolio manager for such portfolio in his or her sole and absolute discretion, and not by the policy owner.
 
Furthermore, under the IRS pronouncements, you may not communicate directly or indirectly with such a portfolio manager or any related investment officers concerning the selection, quality, or rate of return of any specific investment or group of investments held by a portfolio.
 
Finally, the IRS may issue additional guidance on the investor control doctrine, which might further restrict your actions or features of the Policy. Such guidance could be applied retroactively. If any of the rules outlined above are not complied with, the IRS may seek to tax you currently on income and gains from a portfolio such that you would not derive the tax benefits normally associated with variable life insurance. Although highly unlikely, such an event may have an adverse impact on the Fund and other Policies. We urge you to consult your own tax adviser with respect to the application of the investor control doctrine.
 
Comparison to Taxable Investments
 
With respect to taxable investments, current tax law generally provides for a maximum tax rate for individual taxpayers, or entities taxed at the individual level, of 15% on long-term capital gains and on certain “qualifying dividends” on corporate stock. The long-term capital gains rate does not apply to corporations. Corporations pay tax based upon the corporate tax rate, which, depending upon income, may be higher than the long-term capital tax rate for individuals. An individual taxpayer will also have to satisfy a more than 60-day holding period with respect to any distributions of qualifying dividends in order to obtain the benefit of the lower tax rate. Earnings from non-qualifying dividends, interest income, other types of ordinary income and short-term capital gains will be taxed at the ordinary income tax rate applicable to the taxpayer.
 
These rules mean that for policyholders who are individuals the tax-related advantage of life insurance compared to certain taxable investments is reduced because the tax burden applicable to long-term capital gains and from certain “qualifying dividends” on corporate stock may be less than the individual’s ordinary income tax rate which is applied to taxable distributions from a life insurance Policy.
 
MORE ON PACIFIC LIFE AND THE POLICIES
 
How We Are Organized
 
Pacific Life was established on January 2, 1868 under the name, Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Company of California. It was reincorporated as Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Company on July 22, 1936. On September 1, 1997, Pacific Life converted from a mutual life insurance company to a stock life insurance company. Pacific


9



 

Life redomesticated to Nebraska on September 1, 2005. Pacific Life is a subsidiary of Pacific LifeCorp, a holding company, which in turn is a subsidiary of Pacific Mutual Holding Company, a mutual holding company.
 
Under their charters, Pacific Mutual Holding Company must always hold at least 51% of the outstanding voting stock of Pacific LifeCorp. Pacific LifeCorp must always own 100% of the voting stock of Pacific Life. Owners of Pacific Life’s annuity contracts and life insurance policies have certain membership interests in Pacific Mutual Holding Company. They have the right to vote on the election of the Board of Directors of the mutual holding company and on other matters. They also have certain rights if the mutual holding company is liquidated or dissolved.
 
Distribution Arrangements
 
Pacific Select Distributors, Inc. (PSD), our subsidiary, acts as the distributor of the Policies. PSD is located at 700 Newport Center Drive, Newport Beach, California 92660. PSD is registered as a broker-dealer with the SEC and is a member of FINRA. We pay PSD for acting as distributor under a distribution agreement. We and PSD enter into selling agreements with broker-dealers whose insurance professionals are authorized by state insurance departments to sell the Policies.
 
The aggregate amount of underwriting commissions paid to PSD with regard to 2010 was $5,217,118.96 respectively, of which $0 was retained.
 
PSD or an affiliate pays various sales compensation to broker-dealers that solicit applications for the Policies. PSD or an affiliate also may provide reimbursement for other expenses associated with the promotion and solicitation of applications for the Policies. Commissions are based on “target” premiums we determine. The commissions we pay vary with the agreement, but the most common schedule of commissions we pay is:
 
  •  100% of premiums paid up to the first target premium
  •  2% of premiums paid thereafter.
 
A target premium is a hypothetical premium that is used only to calculate commissions. It varies with the Death Benefit Option you choose, the Age of the Insured on the Policy Date, and the gender (unless unisex rates are required) and Risk Class of the Insured. A Policy’s target premium will usually be less than, but generally does not exceed 105% of, the Policy’s guideline level premiums. Before you buy a Policy, you can ask us or your insurance professional for a personalized Illustration that shows you the guideline single premium and guideline level premiums.
 
Your insurance professional typically receives a portion of the compensation that is payable to his or her broker-dealer in connection with the Policy, depending on the agreement between your insurance professional and his or her firm. Pacific Life is not involved in determining that compensation arrangement, which may present its own incentives or conflicts. You may ask your insurance professional how he/she will personally be compensated for the transaction.
 
PSD or an affiliate may pay broker-dealers an annual renewal commission of up to 0.20% of a Policy’s Accumulated Value less any Policy Debt. We calculate the renewal amount monthly and it becomes payable on each Policy Anniversary.
 
In addition to the commissions described above, we and/or an affiliate may pay additional cash compensation from their own resources in connection with the promotion and solicitation of applications for the Policies by some, but not all, broker-dealers. The range of additional cash compensation based on premium payments usually ranges from 0% to 35% of premiums paid up to the first target premium, but generally does not exceed 1.50% of commissions paid on premium thereafter. Such additional compensation may give Pacific Life greater access to insurance professionals of the broker-dealers that receive such compensation. While this greater access provides the opportunity for training and other educational programs so that your insurance professional may serve you better, this additional compensation also may afford Pacific Life a “preferred” status at the recipient broker-dealer and provide some other marketing benefit such as website placement, access to insurance professional lists, extra marketing assistance, or other heightened visibility and access to the broker-dealer’s sales force that otherwise influences the way that the broker-dealer and the insurance professional market the Policies.

As of December 31, 2010, the following firms have arrangements in effect with PSD pursuant to which the firms entitled to receive a revenue sharing payment: AIM Systems Inc, Axa Advisors LLC, Benefit Funding Services, CBIZ Financial Solutions, Commonwealth Financial Network, Financial Network Investment Corp, Financial Services Corp, First Allied Securities, First Heartland Securities, Linsco Private Ledger, M Financial Holdings Inc, Money Concepts, Multi Financial, National Financial Partners, National Financial Partners Insurance Services, National Planning Corp, Newbridge Financial, Next Financial, NFP Securities, Ogilvie Securities, PEPCO, Ramkade Financial, Royal Alliance, Sagepoint Financial, Securities America, Summit Brokerage, The Strategic Financial Alliance, Towersquare Securities, United Planners, USA Advanced Planners, Walnut Street Securities, Woodbury Financial Services and World Group Securities.
 
We or our affiliates may also pay other override payments, expense allowances and reimbursements, bonuses, wholesaler fees, and training and marketing allowances. Such payments may offset the broker-dealer’s expenses in connection with activities that it is required to perform, such as educating personnel and maintaining records. Insurance professionals may also receive non-cash compensation such as expense-paid educational or training seminars involving travel within and outside the U.S. or promotional merchandise.
 
All of the compensation described in this section, and other compensation or benefits provided by us or our affiliates, may be more or less than the overall compensation on similar or other products and may influence your insurance professional or broker-dealer to present this Policy over other investment options. You may ask your insurance professional about these differing and divergent interests and how he/she and his/her broker-dealer are compensated for selling the Policy.
 
Portfolio managers of the underlying portfolios of Pacific Select Fund available under this Policy may from time to time bear all or a portion of the expenses of conferences or meetings sponsored by Pacific Life or PSD that are attended by, among others, insurance professionals of PSD, who would receive information and/or training regarding the Fund’s portfolios and their management by the portfolio managers in addition to information respecting the variable annuity and/or life insurance products issued by Pacific Life and its affiliates. Other persons may also attend all or a portion of any such conferences or meetings, including directors, officers and employees of Pacific Life, officers and trustees of Pacific Select Fund, and spouses/guests of the foregoing. The Pacific Select Fund’s Board of Trustees may hold meetings concurrently with such a conference or meeting. The Pacific Select Fund pays for the expenses of the meetings of its Board of Trustees, including the pro rata share of expenses for attendance by the Trustees at the concurrent conferences or meetings sponsored by Pacific Life or PSD. Additional expenses and promotional items may be paid for by Pacific Life and/or portfolio managers. PSD serves as the Pacific Select Fund’s distributor.
 
The Separate Account
 
The Separate Account was established on May 12, 1988 under California law under the authority of our Board of Directors, and is now governed by the laws of the State of Nebraska as a result of Pacific Life’s redomestication to Nebraska on September 1, 2005. It is registered with the SEC as a type of investment company called a unit investment trust. The SEC does not oversee the administration or investment practices or policies of the Separate Account.
 
The Separate Account is not the only investor in the Funds. Investments in the Funds by other separate accounts for variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts could cause conflicts. For more information, please see the Statement of Additional Information for the Funds.
 
Performance
 
Performance information may appear in advertisements, sales literature, or reports to Policy Owners or prospective buyers.
 
Information about performance of any Variable Account of the Separate Account reflects only the performance of a hypothetical Policy. The calculations are based on allocating the hypothetical Policy’s Accumulated Value to the Variable Account during a particular time period.


11



 

Performance information is no guarantee of how a portfolio or Variable Account will perform in the future. You should keep in mind the investment objectives and policies, characteristics and quality of the portfolio of the Fund in which the Variable Account invests, and the market conditions during the period of time that’s shown.
 
We may show performance information in any way that’s allowed under the law that applies to it. This may include presenting a change in Accumulated Value due to the performance of one or more Variable Accounts, or as a change in a Policy Owner’s Death Benefit.
 
We may show performance as a change in Accumulated Value over time or in terms of the average annual compounded rate of return on Accumulated Value. This would be based on allocating premium payments for a hypothetical Policy to a particular Variable Account over certain periods of time, including one year, or from the day the Variable Account started operating. If a portfolio has existed for longer than its corresponding Variable Account, we may also show the hypothetical returns that the Variable Account would have achieved had it invested in the portfolio from the day the portfolio started operating.
 
Performance may reflect the deduction of all Policy charges including premium load, the cost of insurance, the administrative charge, and the mortality and expense risk charge. The different Death Benefit Options will result in different expenses for the cost of insurance, and the varying expenses will result in different Accumulated Values.
 
Performance may also reflect the deduction of the surrender charge, if it applies, by assuming the hypothetical Policy is surrendered at the end of the particular period. At the same time, we may give other performance figures that do not assume the Policy is surrendered and do not reflect any deduction of the surrender charge.
 
We may also show performance of the underlying portfolios based on the change in value of a hypothetical investment over time or in terms of the average annual compounded return over time. Performance of the portfolios will not reflect the deduction of Policy charges. If Policy charges were reflected, the performance would be lower.
 
In our advertisements, sales literature and reports to Policy Owners, we may compare performance information for a Variable Account to:
 
  •  other variable life separate accounts, mutual funds, or investment products tracked by research firms, rating services, companies, publications, or persons who rank separate accounts or investment products on overall performance or other criteria
  •  the Consumer Price Index, to assess the real rate of return from buying a Policy by taking inflation into consideration
  •  various indices that are unmanaged.
 
Reports and promotional literature may also contain our rating or a rating of our claims paying ability. These ratings are set by firms that analyze and rate insurance companies and by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations.
 
Yields
 
The yield or total return of any Variable Account or portfolio does not reflect the deduction of Policy charges.
 
Cash Management Variable Account
 
The “yield” (also called “current yield”) of the Cash Management Variable Account is computed in accordance with a standard method prescribed by the SEC. The net change in the Variable Account’s unit value during a seven-day period is divided by the unit value at the beginning of the period to obtain a base rate of return. The current yield is generated when the base rate is “annualized” by multiplying it by the fraction 365/7; that is, the base rate of return is assumed to be generated each week over a 365-day period and is shown as a percentage of the investment. The “effective yield” of the Cash Management Variable Account is calculated similarly but, when annualized, the base rate of return is assumed to be reinvested. The effective yield will be slightly higher than the current yield because of the compounding effect of this assumed reinvestment.
 
The formula for effective yield is: [(Base Period Return + 1)(To the power of 365/7)] − 1.


12



 

Realized capital gains or losses and unrealized appreciation or depreciation of the assets of the underlying Cash Management portfolio are not included in the yield calculation.
 
Other Variable Accounts
 
“Yield” of the other Variable Accounts is computed in accordance with a different standard method prescribed by the SEC. For each Variable Account, the net investment income (investment income less expenses) per accumulation unit earned during a specified one month or 30-day period is divided by the unit value on the last day of the specified period. This result is then annualized (that is, the yield is assumed to be generated each month or each 30-day period for a year), according to the following formula, which assumes semiannual compounding:
 
             
    YIELD = 2[(   a − b
cd
  + 1)6 − 1]
 
             
where:
  a   =   net investment income earned during the period by the underlying portfolio of the Variable Account,
    b   =   expenses accrued for the period (net of reimbursements),
    c   =   the average daily number of accumulation units outstanding during the period that were entitled to receive dividends, and
    d   =   the unit value of the accumulation units on the last day of the period.
 
The Variable Accounts’ yields will vary from time to time depending upon market conditions, the composition of each portfolio and operating expenses of the Fund allocated to each portfolio. Consequently, any given performance quotation should not be considered representative of the Variable Account’s performance in the future. Yield should also be considered relative to changes in unit values and to the relative risks associated with the investment policies and objectives of the various portfolios. In addition, because performance will fluctuate, it may not provide a basis for comparing the yield of a Variable Account with certain bank deposits or other investments that pay a fixed yield or return for a stated period of time.
 
Cash Management portfolio
 
Current yield for the Cash Management portfolio will be based on the change in the value of a hypothetical investment (exclusive of capital charges) over a particular 7-day period, less a pro-rata share of portfolio expenses accrued over that period (the “base period”), and stated as a percentage of the investment at the start of the base period (the “base period return”). The base period return is then annualized by multiplying by 365/7, with the resulting yield figure carried to at least the nearest hundredth of one percent. “Effective yield” for the Cash Management portfolio assumes that all dividends received during an annual period have been reinvested. Calculation of “effective yield” begins with the same “base period return” used in the calculation of yield, which is then annualized to reflect weekly compounding pursuant to the following formula:
 
Effective Yield: [(Base Period Return + 1)(To the power of 365/7)] − 1.
 
Other portfolios
 
Quotations of yield for the remaining portfolios will be based on all investment income per share earned during a particular 30-day period (including dividends and interest), less expenses accrued during the period (“net investment income”), and are computed by dividing net investment income by the maximum offering price per share on the last day of the period, according to the following formula:
 
             
    YIELD = 2[(   a − b
cd
  + 1)6 − 1]
 
             
where:
  a   =   dividends and interest earned during the period,
    b   =   expenses accrued for the period (net of reimbursements),
    c   =   the average daily number of shares outstanding during the period that were entitled to receive dividends, and

Quotations of average annual total return for a portfolio will be expressed in terms of the average annual compounded rate of return of a hypothetical investment in the portfolio over certain periods that will include a period of one year (or, if less, up to the life of the portfolio), calculated pursuant to the following formula: P (1 + T)n = ERV (where P = a hypothetical initial payment of $1,000, T = the average annual total return for the period, n = the number of periods, and ERV = the ending redeemable value of a hypothetical $1,000 payment made at the beginning of the period). Quotations of total return may also be shown for other periods. All total return figures reflect the deduction of a proportional share of portfolio expenses on an annual basis, and assume that all dividends and distributions are reinvested when paid.

Class III, BlackRock Global Allocation V.I. Class III, Fidelity® VIP Contrafund® Service Class 2, Fidelity VIP Freedom Income Service Class 2, Fidelity VIP Freedom 2010 Service Class 2, Fidelity VIP Freedom 2015 Service Class 2, Fidelity VIP Freedom 2020 Service Class 2, Fidelity VIP Freedom 2025 Service Class 2, Fidelity VIP Freedom 2030 Service Class 2, Fidelity VIP Growth Service Class 2, Fidelity VIP Mid Cap Service Class 2, Fidelity VIP Value Strategies Service Class 2, Templeton Global Bond Securities Class 2, GE Investments Total Return Class 3, Overseas Service Class, Enterprise Service Class, Lazard Retirement U.S. Strategic Equity, Legg Mason ClearBridge Variable Aggressive Growth – Class II, Legg Mason ClearBridge Variable Mid Cap Core – Class II, Lord Abbett Fundamental Equity Class VC, MFS New Discovery Series Service Class, MFS Utilities Series Service Class, Royce Micro-Cap Service Class, T. Rowe Price Blue Chip Growth – II, T. Rowe Price Equity Income – II, and Van Eck VIP Global Hard Assets (formerly Van Eck Worldwide Hard Assets) Variable Accounts (collectively, the “Variable Accounts”) as of December 31, 2010, the related statements of operations for the year or period presented, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the periods presented, and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Separate Account’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
     We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Separate Account is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Separate Account’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of mutual fund investments owned as of December 31, 2010 by correspondence with the transfer agents. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
     In our opinion, such financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the respective Variable Accounts constituting Pacific Select Exec Separate Account as of December 31, 2010, the results of their operations for the year or period then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the periods presented, and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

(1)   There are no policy fees and expenses of the Separate Account that result in a direct reduction of unit values for each period indicated. The expense ratios exclude expenses of the underlying portfolios/funds in which the variable accounts invest and charges made directly to policyholder accounts through the redemption of units (See Note 3 in Notes to Financial Statements).
 
(2)   The investment income ratios represent the dividends, excluding distributions of capital gains, received by the variable accounts from the underlying portfolios/funds, divided by the average daily net assets. These ratios are before the deduction of mortality and expense risk (“M&E”) fees that are assessed against policyholder accounts. The recognition of investment income by the variable accounts is affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the underlying portfolios/funds in which the variable accounts invest. The investment income ratios for periods of less than one full year are annualized.
 
(3)   Total returns reflect changes in unit values of the underlying portfolios/funds and do not include deductions at the separate account or policy level for any M&E fees, cost of insurance charges, premium loads, administrative charges, maintenance fees, premium tax charges, surrender charges or other charges that may be incurred under a policy which, if incurred, would have resulted in lower returns. Variable Accounts with a date notation indicate the inception date of that Variable Account. Total returns are calculated for each period indicated and are not annualized for periods of less than one full year.
 
(4)   Investment income ratio represents less than 0.005%.
 
(5)   The annualized investment income ratios for the periods from inception to December 31, 2007 were 20.70%, 43.03%, 17.79%, 24.07%, 13.39%, and 13.07% for the Fidelity VIP Freedom Income Service Class 2, Fidelity VIP Freedom 2010 Service Class 2, Fidelity VIP Freedom 2015 Service Class 2, Fidelity VIP Freedom 2020 Service Class 2, Fidelity VIP Freedom 2025 Service Class 2, and Fidelity VIP Freedom 2030 Service Class 2 Variable Accounts, respectively. If not annualized, the investment income ratios were 3.63%, 2.24%, 3.27%, 1.91%, 1.94%, and 3.04%, respectively.
 
(6)   Operations commenced during 2010 (See Note 1 in Notes to Financial Statements).
 
(7)   Subsequent to commencement of operations on May 13, 2010, the Variable Account received its annual distribution. The annualized investment income ratio was 7.00%. Prior to annualization, the ratio was 4.45%.

PACIFIC SELECT EXEC SEPARATE ACCOUNT
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. ORGANIZATION
     The Pacific Select Exec Separate Account (the “Separate Account”) is registered as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and as of December 31, 2010 is comprised of sixty-six subaccounts called Variable Accounts. The assets in each of the Variable Accounts invest in the corresponding portfolios or funds (each, a “Portfolio” and collectively, the “Portfolios”) of Pacific Select Fund, an affiliated mutual fund (See Note 3), M Fund, Inc., BlackRock Variable Series Funds, Inc., Fidelity Variable Insurance Products Funds, Franklin Templeton Variable Insurance Products Trust, GE Investments Funds, Inc., Janus Aspen Series, Lazard Retirement Series, Inc., Legg Mason Partners Variable Equity Trust, Lord Abbett Series Fund, Inc., MFS Variable Insurance Trust, Royce Capital Fund, T. Rowe Price Equity Series, Inc., and Van Eck VIP Trust (formerly named Van Eck Worldwide Insurance Trust) (collectively, the “Funds”). All sixty-six Variable Accounts are presented in the Schedule of Investments on pages SA-2 and SA-3 of this brochure.
     Each Portfolio pursues different investment objectives and policies. The financial statements of the Funds, including the schedules of investments, are provided separately and should be read in conjunction with the Separate Account’s financial statements.
     The Separate Account organized and registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) four new Variable Accounts during 2010: the Templeton Global Bond Securities Class 2, GE Investments Total Return Class 3, Lord Abbett Fundamental Equity Class VC, and Royce Micro-Cap Service Class Variable Accounts which commenced operations on May 3, 2010, May 19, 2010, May 12, 2010, and May 13, 2010, respectively.
     Cash Management, Dividend Growth, and Van Eck VIP Global Hard Assets Variable Accounts and Portfolios/Funds were formerly named Money Market, Diversified Research, and Van Eck Worldwide Hard Assets Variable Accounts and Portfolios/Funds, respectively. In addition, M International Equity, M Large Cap Growth, M Capital Appreciation, and M Business Opportunity Value Portfolios, the underlying portfolios for Variable Accounts I, II, III, and V, respectively, were formerly named Brandes International Equity, Large-Cap Growth, Frontier Capital Appreciation, and Business Opportunity Value Portfolios, respectively.
     On April 16, 2010, the INTECH Risk-Managed Core Service Class and NACM Small Cap Class I Variable Accounts were liquidated. Because these variable accounts were liquidated prior to December 31, 2010, no other information for these variable accounts is presented in this report.
     The net assets of the Pacific Select Fund’s Equity and Multi-Strategy Portfolios, the underlying portfolios for the Equity and Multi-Strategy Variable Accounts, respectively, were transferred to the Pacific Select Fund’s Main Street Core and Managed Bond Portfolios (the “Surviving Portfolios”), the underlying portfolios for the Main Street Core and Managed Bond Variable Accounts, respectively, in exchange for shares of the Surviving Portfolios (the “Reorganization”). The Reorganization took place on October 29, 2010. In connection with the Reorganization, a total of 2,573,003 outstanding accumulation units (valued at $30,927,945) of the Equity Variable Account were exchanged for 642,610 accumulation units with equal value of the Main Street Core Variable Account, and a total of 1,258,522 outstanding accumulation units (valued at $48,255,727) of the Multi-Strategy Variable Account were exchanged for 551,452 accumulation units (valued at $26,540,650) of the Main Street Core Variable Account and 387,355 accumulation units (valued at $21,715,077) of the Managed Bond Variable Account.
     The Separate Account was established by Pacific Life Insurance Company (“Pacific Life”) on May 12, 1988 and commenced operations on November 22, 1988. Under applicable insurance law, the assets and liabilities of the Separate Account are clearly identified and distinguished from the other assets and liabilities of Pacific Life. The assets of the Separate Account will not be charged with any liabilities arising out of any other business conducted by Pacific Life, but the obligations of the Separate Account, including benefits related to variable life insurance, are obligations of Pacific Life.
     The Separate Account funds individual modified single premium, flexible premium, and last survivor flexible premium variable life insurance policies issued by Pacific Life. The investments of the Separate Account are carried at market value.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     Investments in shares of the Portfolios are valued at the reported net asset values of the respective Portfolios. Valuation of securities held by the Funds is discussed in the notes to their financial statements.
     B. Security Transactions and Investment Income
     Transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on sales of investments are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and the amounts distributed to the Variable Account for its share of dividends are reinvested in additional full and fractional shares of the related Portfolios.
     C. Federal Income Taxes
     The operations of the Separate Account will be reported on the Federal income tax return of Pacific Life, which is taxed as a life insurance company under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Under the current tax law, no Federal income taxes are expected to be paid by Pacific Life with respect to the operations of the Separate Account. Pacific Life will periodically review the status of this policy in the event of changes in the tax law. A charge may be made in future years for any Federal income taxes that would be attributable to the policies.

3. CHARGES AND EXPENSES AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
     Pacific Life makes certain deductions from the net assets of each Variable Account through a redemption of units for charges for the mortality and expense risks and administrative expenses Pacific Life assumes, cost of insurance, charges for optional benefits provided by rider and any applicable surrender charges, and are shown as a decrease in net assets in the accompanying Statements of Changes in Net Assets. The mortality risk assumed by Pacific Life is the risk that those insured may die sooner than anticipated and therefore, Pacific Life will pay an aggregate amount of death benefits greater than anticipated. The expense risk assumed is where expenses incurred in issuing and administering the policies will exceed the amounts realized from the administrative fees assessed against the policies. The cost of insurance charge is the primary charge under the policy for the death benefit provided by Pacific Life which may vary by policy based on underwriting criteria. For some policies, a surrender charge is imposed if the policy is partially or fully surrendered within the specified surrender charge period and charges will vary depending on the individual policy. Most policies offer optional benefits that can be added to the policy by rider. The charges for riders can range depending on the individual policy. All of the fees described above are assessed directly to each policyholder account through a redemption of units. Surrender charges are included in policy benefits and terminations and other fees and charges are included in policy maintenance charges in the accompanying Statements of Changes in Net Assets. The operating expenses of the Separate Account are paid by Pacific Life and are not reflected in the accompanying financial statements.
     In addition to charges and expenses described above, the Separate Account also indirectly bears a portion of the operating expenses of the applicable Portfolios in which the Variable Accounts invest.
     With respect to variable life insurance policies funded by the Separate Account, Pacific Life makes certain deductions from premiums before amounts are allocated to the Separate Account to help pay costs of distributing the policies and to pay state and local premium taxes, any other taxes that might be imposed, and to compensate Pacific Life for certain costs or lost investment opportunities resulting from amortization and delayed recognition of certain policy expenses for Federal income tax purposes. These deductions are not reflected in the accompanying financial statements.
     The assets of certain Variable Accounts invest in shares of the corresponding Portfolios of Pacific Select Fund (“PSF”), an affiliated mutual fund. Each Portfolio of PSF pays advisory fees to Pacific Life Fund Advisors, LLC (“PLFA”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pacific Life, pursuant to PSF’s Investment Advisory Agreement and pays service fees to Pacific Select Distributors, Inc. (“PSD”), also a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pacific Life, for providing shareholder servicing activities under PSF’s Service Plan. Each Portfolio of PSF also compensates Pacific Life and PLFA on an approximate cost basis pursuant to PSF’s Agreement for Support Services for providing services to PSF that are outside the scope of the Investment Adviser’s responsibilities under the Investment Advisory Agreement. The advisory fee and service fee rates are disclosed in Note 3 in Notes to Financial Statements of PSF, which are included in Section D of this brochure. For the year ended December 31, 2010, PLFA received advisory fees from PSF at effective annual rates ranging from 0.05% to 0.90% which are on an annual percentage of average daily net assets of each Portfolio of PSF and PSD received a service fee of 0.20% from PSF based on an annual percentage of average daily net assets of each Portfolio of PSF.
4. RELATED PARTY AGREEMENT
     PSD serves as principal underwriter of variable life insurance policies funded by interests in the Separate Account, without remuneration from the Separate Account.

6. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
     The Separate Account characterizes its holdings as Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 based upon the various inputs or methodologies used to value the holdings. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
  Level 1 —   Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical holdings
 
  Level 2 —   Significant observable market-based inputs, other than Level 1 quoted prices, or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data
 
  Level 3 —   Significant unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by observable market data
     The inputs or methodologies used for valuing the Separate Account’s holdings are not necessarily an indication of risks associated with investing in those holdings. As of December 31, 2010, the Separate Account’s holdings as presented in the Schedule of Investments in on pages SA-2 and SA-3 of this brochure were all categorized as Level 1 under the three-tier hierarchy of inputs.
7. CHANGE IN UNITS OUTSTANDING

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
Pacific Life Insurance Company and Subsidiaries:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition of Pacific Life Insurance Company and Subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2010. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Pacific Life Insurance Company and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2010 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed its method of accounting and reporting for variable interest entities as required by accounting guidance adopted in 2010, as well as for other than temporary impairments and noncontrolling interest as required by accounting guidance adopted in 2009.

Pacific Life Insurance Company and Subsidiaries
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1.   ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
    ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
 
    Pacific Life Insurance Company (Pacific Life) was established in 1868 and is domiciled in the State of Nebraska as a stock life insurance company. Pacific Life is an indirect subsidiary of Pacific Mutual Holding Company (PMHC), a Nebraska mutual holding company, and a wholly owned subsidiary of Pacific LifeCorp, an intermediate Delaware stock holding company. PMHC and Pacific LifeCorp were organized pursuant to consent received from the California Department of Insurance and the implementation of a plan of conversion to form a mutual holding company structure in 1997 (the Conversion).
 
    Effective December 31, 2009, Pacific LifeCorp contributed its 100% stock ownership of Aviation Capital Group Corp. (ACG) to Pacific Life (Note 9). ACG is engaged in the acquisition and leasing of commercial jet aircraft. These financial statements and the accompanying footnotes have been prepared by combining the previously separate financial statements of Pacific Life and ACG as if the two entities had been combined as of the beginning of 2008, the first period presented in these consolidated financial statements. This retrospective treatment is prescribed by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) whenever a transfer between entities under common control is effected.
 
    Pacific Life and its subsidiaries and affiliates have primary business operations consisting of life insurance, annuities, mutual funds, and aircraft leasing.
 
    BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
 
    The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Pacific Life and its subsidiaries (the Company) have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and include the accounts of Pacific Life and its majority owned and controlled subsidiaries and variable interest entities (VIEs) in which the Company is the primary beneficiary. Noncontrolling interest is primarily comprised of private equity funds (Note 4). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
    Pacific Life prepares its regulatory financial statements in accordance with statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Nebraska Department of Insurance (NE DOI), which is a comprehensive basis of accounting other than U.S. GAAP (Note 2). These consolidated financial statements materially differ from those filed with regulatory authorities.
 
    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
    In developing these estimates, management makes subjective and complex judgments that are inherently uncertain and subject to material change as facts and circumstances develop. Management has identified the following estimates as critical, as they involve a higher degree of judgment and are subject to a significant degree of variability:
    The fair value of investments in the absence of quoted market values

PL-8



 

    The Company has evaluated events subsequent to December 31, 2010 through March 7, 2011, the date the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued.
 
    RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
    Effective September 30, 2009, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (Codification) as the single source of authoritative U.S. GAAP. The Codification did not create new accounting and reporting guidance, rather it reorganized then-existing U.S. GAAP pronouncements into approximately 90 Topics within a consistent structure. All guidance in the Codification carries an equal level of authority. After the effective date of the Codification, all nongrandfathered accounting literature not included in the Codification is superseded and deemed nonauthoritative. Adoption of the Codification also changed how the Company references U.S. GAAP in its consolidated financial statements.
 
    Effective January 1, 2010, the Company adopted additional guidance to the Codification’s Consolidation Topic whereby the Company changed the methodology it employs to evaluate if an entity is a VIE and, once identified, if a VIE should be included in the consolidated financial statements. The new methodology places emphasis on the Company’s ability to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s financial performance. This guidance provides for enhanced disclosure requirements. The adoption of this guidance did not impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements, however, adoption did result in additional disclosure on the consolidated statements of financial condition.
 
    In April 2009, the FASB issued additional guidance under the Codification’s Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic. This update relates to determining fair values when there is no active market or where the price inputs being used represent distressed sales. The Company early adopted this guidance on March 31, 2009. This update provides additional guidance for estimating fair value when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased. Also included is guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. See Note 14 for information on the Company’s fair value measurements and expanded disclosures.
 
    In April 2009, the FASB issued additional guidance under the Codification’s Investments — Debt and Equity Securities Topic. For debt securities, this guidance replaces the management assertion that it has the intent and ability to hold an impaired debt security until recovery with the requirement that management assert if it either has the intent to sell the debt security or if it is more likely than not the entity will be required to sell the debt security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If management intends to sell the debt security or it is more likely than not the entity will be required to sell the debt security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, an other than temporary impairment (OTTI) shall be recognized in earnings equal to the entire difference between the debt security’s amortized cost basis and its fair value at the reporting date. After the recognition of an OTTI, the debt security is accounted for as if it had been purchased on the measurement date of the OTTI, with an amortized cost basis equal to the previous amortized cost basis less the OTTI recognized in earnings. The update also changes the presentation in the financial statements of non credit related impairment amounts for instruments within its scope. When the entity asserts it does not have the intent to sell the security and it is more likely than not it will not have to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, only the credit related impairment losses are to be recognized in earnings and non credit losses are to be recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) (OCI). Additionally, this update provides for enhanced presentation and disclosure of OTTIs of debt and equity securities in the consolidated financial statements. The Company early adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2009, resulting in an after tax decrease to OCI of $170 million, including an after tax DAC impact of $5 million, and an after tax increase to retained earnings of $175 million.
 
    Effective January 1, 2009, the FASB issued additional guidance to the Codification’s Consolidation Topic. This guidance improves the relevance, comparability and transparency of the financial information that a company provides in its consolidated financial statements by establishing accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. As a result of the adoption of this guidance, which required retrospective application of presentation requirements, total equity as of December 31, 2008 increased by $244 million representing the noncontrolling interest, and other liabilities and total liabilities as of December 31, 2008 decreased by $244 million as a result of reclassifying noncontrolling interest (previously known as minority interest) to equity.
 
    FUTURE ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
    In October 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2010-26 to the Codification’s Financial Services — Insurance Topic. ASU 2010-26 significantly amends the guidance applicable to accounting for costs associated with acquiring or renewing insurance contracts. This update addresses the diversity in practice regarding the interpretation of which costs relating to the acquisition of new or renewal insurance contracts qualify for deferral. The amendment specifies the following costs incurred in the acquisition of new and renewal contracts should be capitalized: 1) incremental direct costs of contract acquisition and 2) certain

PL-9



 

    costs related directly to underwriting, policy issuance and processing, medical and inspecting, and sales force contract selling activities. This amendment also specifies that costs may only be capitalized based on successful contract acquisition efforts. Previously, insurance entities were able to capitalize costs relating to successful and unsuccessful contract acquisition efforts. The amendment is effective on January 1, 2012 and can be applied prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this revised guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
 
    INVESTMENTS
 
    Fixed maturity and equity securities available for sale are reported at estimated fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of adjustments related to DAC, future policy benefits and deferred income taxes, recognized as a component of OCI. For mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities included in fixed maturity securities available for sale, the Company recognizes income using a constant effective yield based on anticipated prepayments and the estimated economic life of the securities. When estimates of prepayments change, the effective yield is recalculated to reflect actual payments to date and anticipated future payments. For fixed rate securities, the net investment in the securities is adjusted to the amount that would have existed had the new effective yield been applied since the acquisition of the securities. These adjustments are reflected in net investment income. Trading securities, which are included in other investments, are reported at estimated fair value with changes in estimated fair value included in net realized investment gain (loss).
 
    Investment income consists primarily of interest and dividends, net investment income from partnership interests, prepayment fees on fixed maturity securities and mortgage loans, and income from certain derivatives. Interest is recognized on an accrual basis and dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Amortization of premium and accretion of discount on fixed maturity securities is recorded using the effective interest method.
 
    The Company’s available for sale securities are regularly assessed for OTTIs. If a decline in the estimated fair value of an available for sale security is deemed to be other than temporary, the OTTI is recognized equal to the difference between the estimated fair value and net carrying amount of the security. If the OTTI for a fixed maturity security is attributable to both credit and other factors, then the OTTI is bifurcated and the non credit related portion is recognized in OCI while the credit portion is recognized as an OTTI. If the OTTI is related to credit factors only, it is recognized as an OTTI.
 
    The evaluation of OTTIs is a quantitative and qualitative process subject to significant estimates and management judgment. The Company has rigorous controls and procedures in place to monitor securities and identify those that are subject to greater analysis for OTTIs. The Company has an investment impairment committee comprised of investment and accounting professionals that reviews and evaluates securities for potential OTTIs at least on a quarterly basis.
 
    In evaluating whether a decline in value is other than temporary, the Company considers many factors including, but not limited to, the following: the extent and duration of the decline in value; the reasons for the decline (credit event, currency, or interest rate related, including spread widening); the ability and intent to hold the investment for a period of time to allow for a recovery of value; and the financial condition of and near-term prospects of the issuer.
 
    Analysis of the probability that all cash flows will be collected under the contractual terms of a fixed maturity security and determination as to whether the Company does not intend to sell the security and that it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell the security before recovery of the investment are key factors in determining whether a fixed maturity security is other than temporarily impaired.
 
    For mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, scrutiny was placed on the performance of the underlying collateral and projected future cash flows. In projecting future cash flows, the Company incorporates inputs from third-party sources and applies reasonable judgment in developing assumptions used to estimate the probability and timing of collecting all contractual cash flows.
 
    In evaluating investment grade perpetual preferred securities, which do not have final contractual cash flows, the Company applied OTTI considerations used for debt securities, placing emphasis on the probability that all cash flows will be collected under the contractual terms of the security and the Company’s intent and ability to hold the security to allow for a recovery of value. Perpetual preferred securities are reported as equity securities as they are structured in equity form, but have significant debt-like characteristics, including periodic dividends, call features, and credit ratings and pricing similar to debt securities.
 
    Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined on a specific identification basis and are included in net realized investment gain (loss).

PL-10



 

    Mortgage loans on real estate are carried at their unpaid principal balance, net of deferred origination fees and write-downs. Mortgage loans are considered to be impaired when management estimates that based upon current information and events, it is probable that the Company will not be able to collect amounts due according to the contractual terms of the mortgage loan agreement. For mortgage loans deemed to be impaired, an impairment loss is recorded when the carrying amount is greater than the Company’s estimated fair value of the underlying collateral of the loan. When the underlying collateral of the loan is greater than the carrying amount, the loan is not considered to have an impaired loss and no write-down is recorded. As of December 31, 2010, one loan totaling $6 million was foreclosed upon. Since the estimated fair value of the collateral was greater than the carrying amount of the loan, no impairment loss was recorded. This loan was the only default realized during the year ended December 31, 2010. As of December 31, 2009, two loans totaling $8 million were considered impaired, however no impairment loss was necessary as the estimated fair value of the collateral was greater than the carrying amount of the related loans.
 
    Policy loans are stated at unpaid principal balances.
 
    Other investments primarily consist of partnership and joint ventures, real estate investments, derivative instruments, non-marketable equity securities, and low income housing related investments qualifying for tax credits (LIHTC). Non-marketable equity securities are carried at fair value with unrealized gains or losses recognized in OCI. Partnership and joint venture interests where the Company does not have a controlling interest or majority ownership are recorded under the cost or equity method of accounting depending on the equity ownership position. Real estate investments are carried at depreciated cost, net of write-downs, or, for real estate acquired in satisfaction of debt, estimated fair value less estimated selling costs at the date of acquisition, if lower than the related unpaid balance.
 
    Real estate investments are evaluated for impairment based on the undiscounted cash flows expected to be received during the estimated holding period. When the undiscounted cash flows are less than the current carrying value of the property (gross cost less accumulated depreciation) the property is considered impaired and will be written-down to its estimated fair value. During the year ended December 31, 2010, three real estate investments were written-down for a total of $27 million (Note 14). The Company had no real estate write-downs during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.
 
    Investments in LIHTC are recorded under either the effective interest method, if they meet certain requirements, including a projected positive yield based solely on guaranteed credits, or are recorded under the equity method if these certain requirements are not met. For investments in LIHTC recorded under the effective interest method, the amortization of the original investment and the tax credits are recorded in the provision (benefit) for income taxes. For investments in LIHTC recorded under the equity method, the amortization of the initial investment is included in net investment income, and the related tax credits are recorded in the provision (benefit) for income taxes (Note 18). The amortization recorded in net investment income was $1 million, $3 million and $5 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
 
    All derivatives, whether designated in hedging relationships or not, are required to be recorded at estimated fair value. If the derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of changes in the estimated fair value of the derivative is recorded in OCI and recognized in earnings when the hedged item affects earnings. If the derivative is designated as a fair value hedge, changes in the estimated fair value of the hedging derivative, including amounts measured as ineffectiveness, and changes in the estimated fair value of the hedged item related to the designated risk being hedged, are reported in net realized investment gain (loss). The change in estimated value of the hedged item associated with the risk being hedged is reflected as an adjustment to the carrying amount of the hedged item. For derivative instruments not designated as hedges, the change in estimated fair value of the derivative is recorded in net realized investment gain (loss). Estimated fair value exposure is calculated based on the aggregate estimated fair value of all derivative instruments with each counterparty, net of collateral received or pledged, in accordance with legally enforceable counterparty master netting agreements (Note 10).
 
    The periodic cash flows for all hedging derivatives are recorded consistent with the hedged item on an accrual basis. For derivatives that are hedging securities, these amounts are included in net investment income. For derivatives that are hedging liabilities, these amounts are included in interest credited to policyholder account balances or interest expense, which is included in operating and other expenses. For derivatives not designated as hedging instruments, the periodic cash flows are reflected in net realized investment gain (loss) on an accrual basis. Upon termination of a cash flow hedging relationship, the accumulated amount in OCI is amortized into net investment income or interest credited to policyholder account balances over the remaining life of the hedged item. Upon termination of a fair value hedging relationship, the accumulated adjustment to the carrying value of the hedged item is amortized into net investment income, interest expense, which is included in operating and other expenses, or interest credited to policyholder account balances over its remaining life.
 
    CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
 
    Cash and cash equivalents include all investments with a maturity of three months or less from purchase date.

PL-11



 

    RESTRICTED CASH
 
    Restricted cash primarily consists of security deposits, commitment fees, maintenance reserve payments and rental payments received from certain lessees related to the aircraft leasing business.
 
    DEFERRED POLICY ACQUISITION COSTS
 
    The costs of acquiring new insurance business, principally commissions, medical examinations, underwriting, policy issue and other expenses, all of which vary with and are primarily associated with the production of new business, are deferred and recorded as an asset commonly referred to as DAC. DAC related to internally replaced contracts (as defined in the Codification’s Financial Services — Insurance Topic), is immediately written off to expense and any new deferrable expenses associated with the replacement are deferred if the contract modification substantially changes the contract. However, if the contract modification does not substantially change the contract, the existing DAC asset remains in place and any acquisition costs associated with the modification are immediately expensed. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the carrying value of DAC was $4.4 billion and $4.8 billion, respectively (Note 7).
 
    For universal life (UL), variable annuities and other investment-type contracts, acquisition costs are amortized through earnings in proportion to the present value of estimated gross profits (EGPs) from projected investment, mortality and expense margins, and surrender charges over the estimated lives of the contracts. Actual gross margins or profits may vary from management’s estimates, which can increase or decrease the rate of DAC amortization. DAC related to traditional policies is amortized through earnings over the premium-paying period of the related policies in proportion to premium revenues recognized, using assumptions and estimates consistent with those used in computing policy reserves. DAC related to certain unrealized components in OCI, primarily unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale, is recorded directly to equity through OCI.
 
    Significant assumptions in the development of EGPs include investment returns, surrender and lapse rates, rider utilization, interest spreads, and mortality margins. The Company’s long-term assumption for the underlying separate account investment return ranges up to 8.0%.
 
    A change in the assumptions utilized to develop EGPs results in a change to amounts expensed in the reporting period in which the change was made by adjusting the DAC balance to the level DAC would have been had the EGPs been calculated using the new assumptions over the entire amortization period. In general, favorable experience variances result in increased expected future profitability and may lower the rate of DAC amortization, whereas unfavorable experience variances result in decreased expected future profitability and may increase the rate of DAC amortization. All critical assumptions utilized to develop EGPs are evaluated at least annually and necessary revisions are made to certain assumptions to the extent that actual or anticipated experience necessitates such a prospective change (Note 7).
 
    The Company defers sales inducements and amortizes them over the life of the policy using the same methodology and assumptions used to amortize DAC. The capitalized sales inducement balance included in the DAC asset were $549 million and $583 million as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
 
    AIRCRAFT LEASING PORTFOLIO
 
    Aircraft are recorded at cost, which includes certain acquisition costs, less accumulated depreciation. Major improvements to aircraft are capitalized when incurred. The Company evaluates carrying values of aircraft based upon changes in market and other physical and economic conditions and records impairment losses to recognize a loss in the value of the aircraft when management believes that, based on estimated future cash flows, the recoverability of the Company’s investment in an aircraft is unlikely (Note 9). The Company had five and four non-earning aircraft in the portfolio as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
 
    GOODWILL FROM ACQUISITIONS
 
    Goodwill represents the excess of costs over the fair value of net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized but is reviewed for impairment at least annually or more frequently if events occur or circumstances indicate that the goodwill might be impaired. Goodwill from acquisitions, included in other assets, totaled $43 million as of December 31, 2010 and 2009. There were no goodwill impairment write-downs from continuing operations during the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008.

PL-12



 

    POLICYHOLDER ACCOUNT BALANCES
 
    Policyholder account balances on UL and investment-type contracts, such as funding agreements, annuities without life contingencies, deposit liabilities and guaranteed interest contracts (GICs), are valued using the retrospective deposit method and are equal to accumulated account values, which consist of deposits received, plus interest credited, less withdrawals and assessments (Note 11). Interest credited to these contracts primarily ranged from 0.2% to 9.0%.
 
    FUTURE POLICY BENEFITS
 
    Annuity reserves, which primarily consist of group retirement and structured settlement annuities with life contingencies, are equal to the present value of estimated future payments using pricing assumptions, as applicable, for interest rates, mortality, morbidity, retirement age and expenses (Note 11). Interest rates used in establishing such liabilities ranged from 0.8% to 11.0%.
 
    The Company offers a rider on certain variable annuity contracts that guarantees net principal over a ten-year holding period, as well as riders on certain variable annuity contracts that guarantee a minimum withdrawal benefit over specified periods, subject to certain restrictions. These variable annuity guaranteed living benefits (GLBs) are considered embedded derivatives and are recorded in future policy benefits (Note 11).
 
    Policy charges assessed against policyholders that represent compensation to the Company for services to be provided in future periods, or unearned revenue reserves (URR), are recognized in revenue over the expected life of the contract using the same methods and assumptions used to amortize DAC. Unearned revenue related to certain unrealized components in OCI, primarily unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale, is recorded directly to equity through OCI.
 
    Life insurance reserves are valued using the net level premium method on the basis of actuarial assumptions appropriate at policy issue. Mortality and persistency assumptions are generally based on the Company’s experience, which, together with interest and expense assumptions, include a margin for possible unfavorable deviations. Interest rate assumptions ranged from 3.0% to 9.3%. Future dividends for participating business are provided for in the liability for future policy benefits.
 
    As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, participating experience rated policies paying dividends represent less than 1% of direct life insurance in force.
 
    Estimates of future policy benefit reserves and liabilities are continually reviewed and, as experience develops, are adjusted as necessary. Such changes in estimates are included in earnings for the period in which such changes occur.
 
    REINSURANCE
 
    The Company has ceded reinsurance agreements with other insurance companies to limit potential losses, reduce exposure arising from larger risks, provide additional capacity for future growth and assumed reinsurance agreements intended to offset reinsurance costs. As part of a strategic alliance, the Company also reinsures risks associated with policies written by an independent producer group through modified coinsurance and yearly renewable term arrangements with this producer group’s reinsurance company.
 
    All assets associated with business reinsured on a modified coinsurance basis remain with, and under the control of, the Company. As part of its risk management process, the Company routinely evaluates its reinsurance programs and may change retention limits, reinsurers or other features at any time.
 
    Reinsurance accounting is utilized for ceded transactions when risk transfer provisions have been met. To meet risk transfer requirements, a reinsurance contract must include insurance risk, consisting of both underwriting and timing risk, and a reasonable possibility of a significant loss to the reinsurer.
 
    Reinsurance premiums ceded and reinsurance recoveries on benefits and claims incurred are deducted from their respective revenue and benefit and expense accounts. Prepaid reinsurance premiums, included in other assets, are premiums that are paid in advance for future coverage. Reinsurance recoverables, included in other assets, include balances due from reinsurance companies for paid and unpaid losses. Amounts receivable and payable are offset for account settlement purposes for contracts where the right of offset exists. See Note 16.

PL-13



 

    REVENUES, BENEFITS AND EXPENSES
 
    Premiums from annuity contracts with life contingencies and traditional life and term insurance contracts, are recognized as revenue when due. Benefits and expenses are matched against such revenues to recognize profits over the lives of the contracts. This matching is accomplished by providing for liabilities for future policy benefits, expenses of contract administration and the amortization of DAC and URR.
 
    Receipts for UL and investment-type contracts are reported as deposits to either policyholder account balances or separate account liabilities and are not included in revenue. Policy fees consist of mortality charges, surrender charges and expense charges that have been earned and assessed against related account values during the period. The timing of policy fee revenue recognition is determined based on the nature of the fees. Benefits and expenses include policy benefits and claims incurred in the period that are in excess of related policyholder account balances, interest credited to policyholder account balances, expenses of contract administration and the amortization of DAC.
 
    Investment advisory fees are primarily fees earned by Pacific Life Fund Advisors LLC (PLFA), a wholly owned subsidiary of Pacific Life formed in 2007, which serves as the investment advisor for the Pacific Select Fund, an investment vehicle provided to the Company’s variable universal life (VUL) and variable annuity contract holders, and the Pacific Life Funds, the investment vehicle for the Company’s mutual fund products. These fees are based upon the net asset value of the underlying portfolios and are recorded as earned. Related subadvisory expense is included in operating and other expenses and recorded when incurred.
 
    Aircraft leases, which are structured as triple net leases, are accounted for as operating leases. Aircraft leasing revenue is recognized ratably over the terms of the lease agreements. ACG has four capital leases, which are accounted for under the provisions in the Codification’s Leases Topic. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, capital leases in the amount of $5 million and $8 million, respectively, are classified in other assets.
 
    DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION
 
    Aircraft and certain other assets are depreciated or amortized using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives, which range from three to 40 years. Depreciation and amortization of aircraft under operating leases and certain other assets are included in operating and other expenses. Depreciation of investment real estate is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives, which range from five to 30 years. Depreciation of investment real estate is included in net investment income.
 
    INCOME TAXES
 
    Pacific Life and its includable subsidiaries are included in the consolidated Federal income tax return of PMHC. Pacific Life and its wholly owned, Arizona domiciled life insurance subsidiary, Pacific Life & Annuity Company (PL&A), and Pacific Alliance Reinsurance Company of Vermont (PAR Vermont), a Vermont-based life reinsurance company wholly owned by Pacific Life, are taxed as life insurance companies for Federal income tax purposes. Pacific Life’s non-insurance subsidiaries are either included in PMHC’s combined California franchise tax return or, if necessary, file separate state tax returns. Companies included in the consolidated Federal income tax return of PMHC and/or the combined California franchise tax return of PMHC are allocated tax expense or benefit based principally on the effect of including their operations in PMHC’s returns under a tax sharing agreement. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years the differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
 
    CONTINGENCIES
 
    Each reporting cycle, the Company evaluates all identified contingent matters on an individual basis. A loss is recorded if probable and reasonably estimable. The Company establishes reserves for these contingencies at the best estimate, or, if no one number within the range of possible losses is more probable than any other, the Company records an estimated reserve at the low end of the range of losses. See Note 21.
 
    SEPARATE ACCOUNTS
 
    Separate accounts primarily include variable annuity and life contracts, as well as other guaranteed and non-guaranteed accounts. Separate account assets are recorded at estimated fair value and represent legally segregated contract holder funds. A separate

PL-14



 

    account liability is recorded equal to the amount of separate account assets. Deposits to separate accounts, investment income and realized and unrealized gains and losses on the separate account assets accrue directly to contract holders and, accordingly, are not reflected in the consolidated statements of operations or cash flows. Amounts charged to the separate account for mortality, surrender and expense charges are included in revenues as policy fees.
 
    For separate account funding agreements in which the Company provides a guarantee of principal and interest to the contract holder and bears all the risks and rewards of the investments underlying the separate account, the related investments and liabilities are recognized as investments and liabilities in the consolidated statements of financial condition. Revenue and expenses are recognized within the respective revenue and benefit and expense lines in the consolidated statements of operations.
 
    FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
    The estimated fair value of financial instruments, disclosed in Notes 8, 10 and 14, has been determined using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is often required to interpret market data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented may not be indicative of the amounts the Company could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies could have a significant effect on the estimated fair value amounts.
2.   STATUTORY FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS
    STATUTORY ACCOUNTING PRACTICES
 
    Pacific Life prepares its regulatory statutory financial statements in accordance with statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the NE DOI, which is a comprehensive basis of accounting other than U.S. GAAP. Statutory accounting practices primarily differ from U.S. GAAP by charging policy acquisition costs to expense as incurred, recognizing certain policy fees as revenue when billed, establishing future policy benefit liabilities using different actuarial assumptions, reporting surplus notes as surplus instead of debt, as well as the valuation of investments and certain assets and accounting for deferred income taxes on a different basis.
 
    Pacific Life has one permitted practice approved by the NE DOI that differs from statutory accounting practices adopted by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC). This permitted practice relates to the valuation of certain statutory separate account assets that are carried at book value instead of estimated fair value. Pacific Life’s statutory capital and surplus as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 did not reflect unrealized losses of $24 million and $29 million, respectively, with regard to this permitted practice.
 
    In addition, Pacific Life uses an NE DOI prescribed accounting practice for certain synthetic GIC reserves that differs from statutory accounting practices adopted by the NAIC. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, this NE DOI prescribed accounting practice resulted in statutory reserves of $27 million and $20 million, respectively, as opposed to statutory reserves of zero, using statutory accounting practices adopted by the NAIC.
 
    STATUTORY NET INCOME (LOSS) AND SURPLUS
 
    Statutory net income (loss) of Pacific Life was $741 million, $652 million and ($1,529) million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Statutory capital and surplus of Pacific Life was $5,867 million and $5,006 million as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
 
    RISK-BASED CAPITAL
 
    Risk-based capital is a method developed by the NAIC to measure the minimum amount of capital appropriate for an insurance company to support its overall business operations in consideration of its size and risk profile. The formulas for determining the amount of risk-based capital specify various weighting factors that are applied to financial balances or various levels of activity based on the perceived degree of risk. Additionally, certain risks are required to be measured using actuarial cash flow modeling techniques, subject to formulaic minimums. The adequacy of a company’s actual capital is measured by a comparison to the risk-based capital results. Companies below minimum risk-based capital requirements are classified within certain levels, each of which requires specified corrective action. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, Pacific Life, PL&A and PAR Vermont exceeded the minimum risk-based capital requirements.

PL-15



 

    DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS
 
    The payment of dividends by Pacific Life to Pacific LifeCorp is subject to restrictions set forth in the State of Nebraska insurance laws. These laws require (i) notification to the NE DOI for the declaration and payment of any dividend and (ii) approval by the NE DOI for accumulated dividends within the preceding twelve months that exceed the greater of 10% of statutory policyholder surplus as of the preceding December 31 or statutory net gain from operations for the preceding twelve months ended December 31. Generally, these restrictions pose no short-term liquidity concerns for Pacific LifeCorp. Based on these restrictions and 2010 statutory results, Pacific Life could pay $688 million in dividends in 2011 to Pacific LifeCorp without prior approval from the NE DOI, subject to the notification requirement.
 
    During the year ended December 31, 2010, Pacific Life paid a cash dividend to Pacific LifeCorp of $150 million. No dividends were paid during 2009. During the year ended December 31, 2008, Pacific Life paid a cash dividend to Pacific LifeCorp of $345 million.
 
    The maximum amount of ordinary dividends that can be paid by PL&A to Pacific Life without restriction cannot exceed the lesser of 10% of statutory surplus as regards to policyholders, or the statutory net gain from operations. Based on this limitation and 2010 statutory results, PL&A could pay $28 million in dividends to Pacific Life in 2011 without prior regulatory approval. No dividends were paid during 2010, 2009 and 2008.
 
    OTHER
 
    The Company has ceded reinsurance contracts in place with a reinsurer whose financial stability has deteriorated. In January 2009, the reinsurer’s domiciliary state regulator issued an order of supervision, which requires the regulator’s consent to any transaction outside the normal course of business. The Company will continue to monitor the situation and evaluate its options to deal with any further deterioration in the reinsurer’s financial condition. As of December 31, 2010, statutory reserves ceded to this reinsurer amounted to approximately $177 million.
3.   CLOSED BLOCK
    In connection with the Conversion, an arrangement known as a closed block (the Closed Block) was established, for dividend purposes only, for the exclusive benefit of certain individual life insurance policies that had an experience based dividend scale for 1997. The Closed Block was designed to give reasonable assurance to holders of the Closed Block policies that policy dividends will not change solely as a result of the Conversion.
 
    Assets that support the Closed Block, which are primarily included in fixed maturity securities and policy loans, amounted to $284 million and $285 million as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Liabilities allocated to the Closed Block, which are primarily included in future policy benefits, amounted to $304 million and $307 million as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The net contribution to income from the Closed Block was zero, $4 million and $1 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

4.   VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
    The Company evaluates its interests in VIEs on an ongoing basis and consolidates those VIEs in which it has a controlling financial interest and is thus deemed to be the primary beneficiary. A controlling financial interest has both of the following characteristics: (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance, and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Creditors or beneficial interest holders of VIEs, where the Company is the primary beneficiary, have no recourse against the Company in the event of default by these VIEs.
 
    The following table presents, as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the consolidated assets, consolidated liabilities and maximum exposure to loss relating to VIEs, which the Company (i) has consolidated because it is the primary beneficiary or (ii) total assets of and maximum exposure to loss relating to VIEs in which the Company holds a significant variable interest, but has not consolidated because it is not the primary beneficiary:

    AIRCRAFT SECURITIZATIONS
 
    ACG has sponsored three financial asset securitizations secured by interests in aircraft. ACG serves as the remarketing agent and provides various aircraft related services in all three securitizations for a fee. This fee is eliminated for the two consolidated securitizations and is included in other income as earned for the unconsolidated securitization.
 
    In 2005, ACG sponsored a securitization transaction whereby Aviation Capital Group Trust III (ACG Trust III) acquired 74 of ACG’s aircraft through a private placement note offering in the amount of $1,860 million. ACG owns 100% of the equity and has a controlling financial interest in this VIE. Therefore, ACG was determined to be the primary beneficiary of this VIE and ACG Trust III is consolidated into the consolidated financial statements of the Company. These private placement notes are the obligation of ACG Trust III and represent debt that is non-recourse to the Company (Note 13). VIE non-recourse debt consolidated from ACG Trust III was $1,103 million and $1,309 million as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the maximum exposure to loss, based on the Company’s interest in ACG Trust III, was $201 million and $148 million, respectively.
 
    In 2003, ACG sponsored a securitization transaction whereby Aviation Capital Group Trust II (ACG Trust II) acquired 37 of ACG’s aircraft through a private placement note offering in the amount of $1,027 million. ACG owns 100% of the equity and has a controlling financial interest in this VIE. Therefore, ACG was determined to be the primary beneficiary of this VIE and ACG Trust II is consolidated into the consolidated financial statements of the Company. These private placement notes are the obligation of ACG Trust II and represent debt that is non-recourse to the Company (Note 13). VIE non-recourse debt consolidated from ACG Trust II was $484 million and $666 million as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the maximum exposure to loss was $188 million and $201 million, respectively, based on the Company’s interest in ACG Trust II. As of December 31, 2009, the maximum exposure to loss included a contingent purchase obligation of $100 million. The Company was contingently obligated to purchase certain notes from ACG Trust II to cover shortfalls in amounts due to the holders of the notes. This contingent purchase obligation expired in August 2010.

PL-17



 

    In 2000, ACG sponsored a financial asset securitization of aircraft to Aviation Capital Group Trust (Aviation Trust). ACG and Pacific Life are beneficial interest holders in Aviation Trust. Aviation Trust is not consolidated as the Company is not the primary beneficiary as ACG does not have the obligation to absorb losses of Aviation Trust that could potentially be significant to Aviation Trust or the right to receive benefits from Aviation Trust that could potentially be significant to it. The carrying value is comprised of beneficial interests issued by Aviation Trust. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the maximum exposure to loss, based on carrying value, was zero.
 
    PRIVATE EQUITY FUNDS
 
    Private equity funds (the Funds) are three limited partnerships that invest in private equity investments for outside investors, where the Company is the general partner. The Company provides investment management services to the Funds for a fee and receives carried interest based upon the performance of the Funds. The Funds are a VIE due to the purpose and design of the Funds and the lack of control by the other equity investors. The Company has determined itself to be the primary beneficiary since it has a controlling financial interest in the Funds and the Funds are consolidated into the consolidated financial statements of the Company. The Company has not guaranteed the performance, liquidity or obligations of the Funds, and the Company’s maximum exposure to loss is equal to the carrying amounts of its retained interest. VIE non-recourse debt consolidated from the Funds was $5 million and $2 million as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively (Note 13).
 
    ASSET-BACKED SECURITIES
 
    As part of the Company’s investment strategy, the Company purchases primarily investment grade beneficial interests issued from bankruptcy-remote special purpose entities (SPEs), which are collateralized by financial assets including corporate debt. The Company has not guaranteed the performance, liquidity or obligations of the SPEs, and the Company’s maximum exposure to loss is limited to its carrying value of the beneficial interests in the SPEs. The Company has no liabilities related to these VIEs. The Company has determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of these entities since it does not have the power to direct their financial activities. Therefore, the Company does not consolidate these entities. The investments are reported as fixed maturity securities available for sale and had a net carrying amount of $108 million and $103 million at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, the Company recorded OTTIs of zero, $60 million and $117 million, respectively, related to these securities.
5.   INTEREST IN PIMCO
    As of December 31, 2007, the Company owned a beneficial economic interest in Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (PIMCO) through Allianz Global Investors of America LLC (interest in PIMCO). PIMCO offers investment products through managed accounts and institutional, retail and offshore mutual funds. The interest in PIMCO was reported at estimated fair value, as determined by a contractual put and call option price, with changes in estimated fair value reported as a component of OCI, net of taxes.
 
    During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company exercised a put option and sold all of its remaining interest in PIMCO to Allianz of America, Inc., a subsidiary of Allianz SE, for $288 million. The Company recognized a pre-tax gain of $109 million for the year ended December 31, 2008.

6.   DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
    The Company’s former broker-dealer operations have been reflected as discontinued operations in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Discontinued operations do not include the operations of Pacific Select Distributors, Inc. (PSD), a wholly owned broker-dealer subsidiary of Pacific Life, which primarily serves as the underwriter/distributor of registered investment-related products and services, principally variable life and variable annuity contracts issued by the Company, and mutual funds. In March 2007, the Company classified its broker-dealer subsidiaries, other than PSD, as held for sale. During 2008 and 2007, these broker-dealers were sold.
 
    Operating results from discontinued operations were as follows:
                         
    Years Ended December 31,  
    2010     2009     2008  
    (In Millions)

    During the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, the Company revised certain assumptions to develop EGPs for its products subject to DAC amortization (Note 1). This resulted in increases in DAC amortization expense of $34 million, $23 million and $20 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The revised EGPs also resulted in increased URR amortization of $20 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, an immaterial decrease in URR amortization for the year ended December 31, 2009 and increased URR amortization of $2 million for the year ended December 31, 2008.

    The Company has evaluated fixed maturity and other securities with gross unrealized losses and has determined that the unrealized losses are temporary. The Company does not intend to sell the securities and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell the securities before recovery of their net carrying amounts.
 
    Prime mortgages are loans made to borrowers with strong credit histories, whereas sub-prime mortgage lending is the origination of residential mortgage loans to customers with weak credit profiles. Alt-A mortgage lending is the origination of residential mortgage loans to customers who have good credit ratings, but have limited documentation for their source of income or some other standard input used to underwrite the mortgage loan. The slowing U.S. housing market, greater use of affordability mortgage products and relaxed underwriting standards by some originators for these loans has led to higher delinquency and loss rates, especially within the 2007 and 2006 vintage years.

10.   DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
    The Company primarily utilizes derivative instruments to manage its exposure to interest rate risk, foreign currency risk, credit risk, and equity risk. Derivative instruments are also used to manage the duration mismatch of assets and liabilities. The Company utilizes a variety of derivative instruments including swaps, foreign exchange forward contracts and options. In addition, certain insurance products offered by the Company contain features that are accounted for as derivatives.
    Accounting for derivatives and hedging activities requires companies to recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the consolidated statement of financial condition. The Company applies hedge accounting by designating derivative instruments as either fair value or cash flow hedges on the date the Company enters into a derivative contract. The Company formally documents at inception all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. In this documentation, the Company specifically identifies the asset, liability, firm commitment, or forecasted transaction that has been designated as a hedged item and states how the hedging instrument is expected to hedge the risks related to the hedged item. The Company formally assesses and measures effectiveness of its hedging relationships both at the hedge inception and on an ongoing basis in accordance with its risk management policy.
    DERIVATIVES DESIGNATED AS CASH FLOW HEDGES
    The Company primarily uses foreign currency interest rate swaps, forward starting interest rate swaps and interest rate swaps to manage its exposure to variability in cash flows due to changes in foreign currencies and the benchmark interest rate. These cash flows include those associated with existing assets and liabilities, as well as the forecasted interest cash flows related to anticipated investment purchases and liability issuances. Such anticipated investment purchases and liability issuances are considered probable to occur and are generally completed within 22 years of the inception of the hedge.
    Foreign currency interest rate swap agreements are used to convert a fixed or floating rate, foreign-denominated asset or liability to a U.S. dollar fixed rate asset or liability. The foreign currency interest rate swaps involve the exchange of an initial principal amount in two currencies and the agreement to re-exchange the currencies at a future date at an agreed exchange rate. There are also periodic exchanges of interest payments in the two currencies at specified intervals, calculated using agreed upon rates and the exchanged principal amounts. The main currencies that the Company hedges are the Euro, British Pound, and Canadian Dollar.
    Interest rate swap agreements are used to convert a floating rate asset or liability to a fixed rate to hedge the variability of cash flows of the hedged asset or liability due to changes in benchmark interest rates. These derivatives are predominantly used to better match the cash flow characteristics of certain assets and liabilities. These agreements involve the exchange, at specified intervals, of interest payments resulting from the difference between fixed rate and floating rate interest amounts calculated by reference to an underlying notional amount. Generally, no cash is exchanged at the outset of the contract and no principal payments are made by either party.
    Forward starting interest rate swaps are used to hedge the variability in the future interest receipts or payments stemming from the anticipated purchase of fixed rate securities or issuance of fixed rate liabilities due to changes in benchmark interest rates. These derivatives are predominantly used to lock in interest rate levels to match future cash flow characteristics of assets and liabilities. Forward starting interest rate swaps involve the exchange, at specified intervals, of interest payments resulting from the difference between fixed and floating rate interest amounts calculated by reference to an underlying notional amount to begin at a specified date in the future for a specified period of time. Generally, no cash is exchanged at the outset of the contract and no principal payments are made by either party. The notional amounts of the contracts do not represent future cash requirements, as the Company intends to close out open positions prior to their effective dates.
    When a derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of changes in the estimated fair value of the derivative is recognized in OCI and recognized in earnings when the hedged item affects earnings, and the ineffective portion of changes in the estimated fair value of the derivative is recognized in net realized investment gain (loss). For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, hedge ineffectiveness related to designated cash flow hedges reflected in net realized investment gain (loss) was $5 million, $8 million and ($4) million, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, the Company did not have any net losses reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (AOCI) to earnings resulting from the discontinuance of cash flow hedges due to forecasted transactions that were no longer probable of occurring. Over the next twelve months, the Company anticipates that $16 million of deferred losses on derivative instruments in AOCI will be reclassified to earnings. For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, all of the Company’s hedged forecasted transactions were determined to be probable of occurring.

    Notional amount represents a standard of measurement of the volume of derivatives. Notional amount is not a quantification of market risk or credit risk and is not recorded on the consolidated statements of financial condition. Notional amounts generally represent those amounts used to calculate contractual cash flows to be exchanged and are not paid or received, except for certain contracts such as currency swaps.
    DERIVATIVES DESIGNATED AS FAIR VALUE HEDGES
    Interest rate swap agreements are used to convert a fixed rate asset or liability to a floating rate to hedge the changes in estimated fair value of the hedged asset or liability due to changes in benchmark interest rates. These derivatives are used primarily to closely match the duration of the assets supporting specific liabilities. Pacific Life uses interest rate swaps to convert fixed rate surplus notes to variable rate notes (Note 13).

    DERIVATIVES NOT DESIGNATED AS HEDGING INSTRUMENTS
    The Company has certain insurance and reinsurance contracts that are considered to have embedded derivatives. When it is determined that the embedded derivative possesses economic and risk characteristics that are not clearly and closely related to those of the host contract and that a separate instrument with the same terms would qualify as a derivative instrument, it is separated from the host contract and accounted for as a stand-alone derivative.
    The Company offers a rider on certain variable annuity contracts that guarantees net principal over a ten-year holding period, as well as riders on certain variable annuity contracts that guarantee a minimum withdrawal benefit over specified periods, subject to certain restrictions. These variable annuity GLBs are considered embedded derivatives and are recorded in future policy benefits.
    GLBs on variable annuity contracts issued between January 1, 2007 and March 31, 2009 are partially covered by reinsurance. These reinsurance arrangements are used to offset a portion of the Company’s exposure to the GLBs for the lives of the host variable annuity contracts issued. The ceded portion of the GLBs is considered an embedded derivative and is recorded in other assets or other liabilities as either a reinsurance recoverable or reinsurance payable.
    The Company employs hedging strategies (variable annuity derivatives) to mitigate equity risk associated with the GLBs not covered by reinsurance. The Company utilizes total return swaps based upon the S&P 500 Index (S&P 500) primarily to economically hedge the equity risk of the mortality and expense fees in its variable annuity products. These contracts provide periodic payments to the Company in exchange for the total return and changes in fair value of the S&P 500 in the form of a payment or receipt, depending on whether the return relative to the index on trade date is positive or negative, respectively. Payments and receipts are recognized in net realized investment gain (loss). The Company has used interest rate swaps to hedge fluctuations in the valuation of GLBs as a result of changes in risk free rates. These agreements involved the exchange, at specified intervals, of interest payments resulting from the difference between fixed rate and floating rate interest amounts

PL-30



 

    calculated by reference to an underlying notional amount. During 2009, all interest rate swaps held at the beginning of the year were terminated and there were no open interest rate swaps as of December 31, 2009. The Company had no interest rate swap trading activity for the year ended December 31, 2010.
    The Company also uses equity put options to hedge equity and credit risks. These equity put options involve the exchange of periodic fixed rate payments for the return, at the end of the option agreement, of the equity index below a specified strike price. Generally, no cash is exchanged at the outset of the contract and no principal payments are made by either party.
    The Company offers equity indexed universal life (EIUL) insurance products, which credits the price return of the S&P 500 to the policy cash value. A policyholder may allocate the policy’s net accumulated value to one or a combination of the following: fixed return account, one-year indexed account capped at 12%, or a five-year indexed account. These equity indexed products contain embedded derivatives and are recorded in policyholder account balances.
    The Company utilizes one-year and five-year S&P call options to hedge against adverse changes in the equity index. These options are contracts to buy the equity index at a predetermined time at a contracted price. The contracts will be net settled in cash based on differentials in the index at the time of exercise and the strike price and the settlements will be recognized in net realized investment gain (loss).
    The Company issues synthetic GICs to Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) qualified defined contribution employee benefit plans (ERISA Plan). The ERISA Plan uses the contracts in its stable value fixed income option. The Company receives a fee for providing book value accounting for the ERISA Plan stable value fixed income option. The Company does not manage the assets underlying synthetic GICs. In the event that plan participant elections exceed the estimated fair value of the assets or if the contract is terminated and at the end of the termination period the book value under the contract exceeds the estimated fair value of the assets, then the Company is required to pay the ERISA Plan the difference between book value and estimated fair value. The Company mitigates the investment risk through pre-approval and monitoring of the investment guidelines, requiring high quality investments and adjustments to the plan crediting rates to compensate for unrealized losses in the portfolios.
    Credit default swaps involve the receipt or payment of fixed amounts at specific intervals in exchange for the assumption of or protection from potential credit events associated with the underlying security. The Company wrote one credit default swap for which a payment would be delivered if the underlying security of the derivative defaults. The maximum potential amount of future payment under the credit default swap was $50 million as of December 31, 2010 and 2009. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the fair value of the credit derivative sold by the Company was ($10) million and ($17) million, respectively. The term for this instrument is seven years.

    Cash collateral received from counterparties was $251 million and $237 million as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. This unrestricted cash collateral is included in cash and cash equivalents and the obligation to return it is netted against the estimated fair value of derivatives in other investments or other liabilities. Cash collateral pledged to counterparties was $145 million and $137 million as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. A receivable representing the right to call this collateral back from the counterparty is netted against the estimated fair value of derivatives in other investments or other liabilities. If the net estimated fair value of the exposure to the counterparty is positive, the amount is reflected in other investments, whereas, if the net estimated fair value of the exposure to the counterparty is negative, the estimated fair value is included in future policy benefits or other liabilities, depending on the nature of the derivative.
    As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company had also accepted collateral consisting of various securities with an estimated fair value of $36 million and $14 million, respectively, which are held in separate custodial accounts. The Company is permitted by contract to sell or repledge this collateral and as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, none of the collateral had been repledged. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company provided collateral in the form of various securities with an estimated fair value of $15 million and zero, respectively, which are included in fixed maturity securities. The counterparties are permitted by contract to sell or repledge this collateral.
    The following table summarizes amounts recognized in net realized investment gain (loss) for derivatives designated as fair value hedges. Gains and losses include the changes in estimated fair value of the derivatives as well as the offsetting gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk. The Company includes the gain or loss on the derivative in the same line item as the offsetting gain or loss on the hedged item. The net of the amounts presented for each year represents the ineffective portion of the hedge. The amounts presented do not include the periodic net settlements of the derivatives or the income (expense) related to the hedged item.

    CREDIT EXPOSURE AND CREDIT RISK RELATED CONTINGENT FEATURES
    Credit exposure is measured on a counterparty basis as the net positive aggregate estimated fair value, net of collateral received, if any. The credit exposure for over the counter derivatives as of December 31, 2010 was $100 million. The maximum exposure to any single counterparty was $17 million at December 31, 2010.
    For all derivative contracts, excluding embedded derivative contracts such as variable annuity GLBs and synthetic GICs, the Company enters into master agreements that may include a termination event clause associated with Pacific Life’s insurer financial strength ratings assigned by certain independent rating agencies. If Pacific Life’s insurer financial strength rating were to fall below a specified level, as defined within each counterparty master agreement or, in most cases, if one of the rating agencies ceased to provide an insurer financial strength rating, the counterparty could terminate the master agreement with payment due based on the estimated fair value of the underlying derivatives. As of December 31, 2010, Pacific Life’s insurer financial strength ratings were above the specified level.
    The Company enters into collateral arrangements with derivative counterparties, which require both the pledging and accepting of collateral when the net estimated fair value of the underlying derivatives reaches a pre-determined threshold. Certain of these arrangements include credit-contingent provisions that provide for a reduction of these thresholds in the event of downgrades in the credit ratings of the Company and/or the counterparty. If Pacific Life’s insurer financial strength rating were to fall below a specific investment grade credit rating, the counterparties to the derivative instruments could request immediate and ongoing full collateralization on derivative instruments in net liability positions. The aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with credit risk related contingent features that are in a liability position on December 31, 2010, is $244 million for which the Company has posted collateral of $160 million in the normal course of business. If certain of Pacific Life’s insurer financial strength ratings were to fall one notch as of December 31, 2010, the Company would have been required to post an additional $29 million of collateral to its counterparties.
    The Company attempts to limit its credit exposure by dealing with creditworthy counterparties, establishing risk control limits, executing legally enforceable master netting agreements, and obtaining collateral where appropriate. In addition, each counterparty is reviewed to evaluate its financial stability before entering into each agreement and throughout the period that the financial instrument is owned. All of the Company’s credit exposure from derivative contracts is with investment grade counterparties.

12.   SEPARATE ACCOUNTS AND VARIABLE ANNUITY GUARANTEED BENEFIT FEATURES
    The Company issues variable annuity contracts through separate accounts for which investment income and investment gains and losses accrue directly to, and investment risk is borne by, the contract holder (traditional variable annuities). These contracts also include various types of guaranteed minimum death benefit (GMDB) and GLB features. For a discussion of certain GLBs accounted for as embedded derivatives, see Note 10.
    The GMDBs provide a specified minimum return upon death. Many of these death benefits are spousal, whereby a death benefit will be paid upon death of the first spouse. The survivor has the option to terminate the contract or continue it and have the death benefit paid into the contract and a second death benefit paid upon the survivor’s death. The GMDB features include those where the Company contractually guarantees to the contract holder either (a) return of no less than total deposits made to the contract less any partial withdrawals (return of net deposits), (b) the highest contract value on any contract anniversary date through age 80 minus any payments or withdrawals following the contract anniversary (anniversary contract value), or (c) the highest of contract value on certain specified dates or total deposits made to the contract less any partial withdrawals plus a minimum return (minimum return).
    The guaranteed minimum income benefit (GMIB) is a GLB that provides the contract holder with a guaranteed annuitization value after 10 years. Annuitization value is generally based on deposits adjusted for withdrawals plus a minimum return. In general, the GMIB requires contract holders to invest in an approved asset allocation strategy.

    PL&A is eligible to borrow from the FHLB of San Francisco amounts based on a percentage of statutory capital and surplus and could borrow up to amounts of $120 million. Of this amount, half, or $60 million, can be borrowed for terms other than overnight, out to a maximum term of nine months. These borrowings are at variable rates of interest, collateralized by certain mortgage loan and government securities. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, PL&A had no debt outstanding with the FHLB of San Francisco.
    In October 2010, ACG entered into a revolving credit agreement with a bank for a $200 million borrowing facility. Interest is at variable rates and the facility matures in October 2013. There was no debt outstanding in connection with this revolving credit agreement as of December 31, 2010. This credit facility is recourse only to ACG.
    ACG had a revolving credit agreement with a bank for a $105 million borrowing facility, which was entered into in May 2009. Interest was at variable rates and the facility matured and was repaid in March 2010. The amount outstanding as of December 31, 2009 was $105 million bearing an interest rate of 4.8%.
    LONG-TERM DEBT
    In June 2009, Pacific Life issued $1.0 billion of surplus notes at a fixed interest rate of 9.25%, maturing on June 15, 2039. Interest is payable semiannually on June 15 and December 15. Pacific Life may redeem the 9.25% surplus notes at its option, subject to the approval of the Nebraska Director of Insurance for such optional redemption. The 9.25% surplus notes are unsecured and subordinated to all present and future senior indebtedness and policy claims of Pacific Life. All future payments of interest and principal on the 9.25% surplus notes can be made only with the prior approval of the Nebraska Director of Insurance. The Company entered into interest rate swaps converting $650 million and $350 million of the 9.25% surplus notes to variable rate notes based upon the London InterBank Offered Rate (LIBOR) during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010, respectively. The interest rate swaps were designated as fair value hedges of these surplus notes and the changes in fair value of the hedged surplus notes associated with changes in interest rates are reflected as an adjustment to their carrying amount. This adjustment to the carrying amount of the 9.25% surplus notes, which increased (decreased) long-term debt by $53 million and ($35) million as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, is offset by a fair value adjustment which has also been recorded for the interest rate swap derivative instruments.
    Pacific Life has $150 million of surplus notes outstanding at a fixed interest rate of 7.9%, maturing on December 30, 2023. Interest is payable semiannually on June 30 and December 30. The 7.9% surplus notes may not be redeemed at the option of Pacific Life or any holder of the surplus notes. The 7.9% surplus notes are unsecured and subordinated to all present and future senior indebtedness and policy claims of Pacific Life. All future payments of interest and principal on the 7.9% surplus notes can be made only with the prior approval of the Nebraska Director of Insurance. The Company entered into interest rate swaps converting these surplus notes to variable rate notes based upon the LIBOR. The interest rate swaps were designated as fair value hedges of these surplus notes and the changes in fair value of the hedged surplus notes associated with changes in interest rates are reflected as an adjustment to their carrying amount. This adjustment to the carrying amount of the 7.9% surplus notes, which increased long-term debt by $31 million and $22 million as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, is offset by a fair value adjustment which has also been recorded for the interest rate swap derivative instruments.
    In March 2010, the Nebraska Director of Insurance approved the issuance of an internal surplus note by Pacific Life to Pacific LifeCorp for $450 million. Pacific Life is required to pay Pacific LifeCorp interest on the internal surplus note semiannually on February 5 and August 5 at a fixed annual rate of 6.0%. All future payments of interest and principal on the internal surplus note can be made only with the prior approval of the Nebraska Director of Insurance. The internal surplus note matures on February 5, 2020.

14.   FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
    The Codification’s Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs of valuation methods used to measure fair value for financial assets and financial liabilities that are carried at fair value. The hierarchy consists of the following three levels that are prioritized based on observable and unobservable inputs.
  Level 1     Unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. Level 1 financial instruments would include securities that are traded in an active exchange market.
  Level 2     Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in inactive markets; and model-derived valuations for which all significant inputs are observable market data. Level 2 instruments include most fixed maturity securities that are valued by models using inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.
  Level 3     Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable. Level 3 instruments include less liquid securities for which significant inputs are not observable in the market, such as certain structured securities and variable annuity GLB embedded derivatives that require significant management assumptions or estimation in the fair value measurement.
    This hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available.

PL-42



 

(3)   Separate account assets are measured at fair value. Investment performance related to separate account assets is offset by corresponding amounts credited to contract holders whose liability is reflected in the separate account liabilities. Separate account liabilities are measured to equal the fair value of separate account assets as prescribed by guidance in the Codification’s Financial Services — Insurance Topic for accounting and reporting of certain non traditional long-duration contracts and separate accounts. Separate account assets as presented in the tables above differ from the amounts presented in the consolidated statements of financial condition because cash and receivables for securities are not subject to the guidance under the Codification’s Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic.
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
The Codification’s Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell the asset or paid to transfer the liability at the measurement date. This “exit price” notion is a market-based measurement that requires a focus on the value that market participants would assign for an asset or liability.
The following section describes the valuation methodologies used by the Company to measure various types of financial instruments at fair value.
FIXED MATURITY, EQUITY AND TRADING SECURITIES
The fair values of fixed maturity securities available for sale, equity securities available for sale and trading securities are determined by management after considering external pricing sources and internal valuation techniques.
For securities with sufficient trading volume, prices are obtained from third-party pricing services. For structured or complex securities that are traded infrequently, estimated fair values are determined after evaluating prices obtained from third-party pricing services and independent brokers or are valued internally using various valuation techniques. Such techniques include matrix model pricing and internally developed models, which incorporate observable market data, where available. Matrix model pricing measures fair value using cash flows, which are discounted using observable market yield curves provided by a major independent data service. The matrix model determines the discount yield based upon significant factors that include the security’s weighted average life and rating.
Where matrix model pricing is not used, particularly for RMBS and other asset-backed securities, estimated fair values for these securities are determined by evaluating prices from third-party pricing services and independent brokers or other internally derived valuation models are utilized. The inputs used to measure fair value in the internal valuations include, but are not limited to, benchmark yields, issuer spreads, bids, offers, reported trades, and estimated projected cash flows that incorporate significant inputs such as defaults and delinquency rates, severity, subordination, vintage and prepayment speeds.
For non-agency RMBS backed by prime, sub-prime and Alt-A collateral, the Company determined in the first quarter of 2009 that there had been a significant decrease in the volume and level of transaction activity indicating the need for a valuation technique not solely based on observable transactions and/or quoted market prices. As permitted by guidance in the Codification’s Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic beginning March 31, 2009, the Company determined the estimated fair value for these assets utilizing an internally developed weighting of valuations derived from internal pricing models and independent pricing services. This approach utilized multiple valuation techniques incorporating an income approach (maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs) and a market approach (based on data provided by independent pricing services) produced a result more representative of an investment’s fair value as compared to a single valuation technique. The income approach incorporated cash flows for each investment adjusted for expected losses assuming various interest rates and housing price-level scenarios. The adjusted cash flows were discounted using a risk premium that market participants would demand given the risk in the modeled cash flows. The risk premium utilized was reflective of an orderly transaction between market participants under current market conditions and included considerations such as liquidity and structure risk. These internally generated prices were then reviewed in conjunction with prices obtained from multiple independent pricing services. The internally generated prices were weighted with the prices obtained from independent pricing services, with consideration given to the relative range of values that were most representative of fair value under the market conditions. These securities were classified as Level 3 financial assets.
During the fourth quarter of 2010, the Company determined that there has been an increase in the volume and level of trading activity for these non-agency RMBS, as indicated by a significant decrease in liquidity risk premiums and more consistency in prices quoted in the market. Therefore, the Company believes that the non-agency RMBS market is no longer an inactive market as of December 31, 2010. Beginning December 31, 2010, the Company primarily utilizes prices obtained from third-party pricing services to determine fair value for non-agency RMBS.

PL-43



 

Prices obtained from independent third-parties are generally evaluated based on the inputs indicated above. The Company’s management analyzes and evaluates these prices and determines whether they are reasonable estimates of fair value. Management’s analysis may include, but is not limited to, review of third-party pricing methodologies and inputs, analysis of recent trades, and development of internal models utilizing observable market data of comparable securities. Based on this analysis, prices received from third-parties may be adjusted if the Company determines that there is a more appropriate fair value based on available market information.
Most securities priced by a major independent third-party service have been classified as Level 2, as management has verified that the inputs used in determining their fair values are market observable and appropriate. Other externally priced securities for which fair value measurement inputs are not sufficiently transparent, such as securities valued based on broker quotations, have been classified as Level 3. Internally valued securities, including adjusted prices received from independent third-parties, where significant management assumptions have been utilized in determining fair value, have been classified as Level 3.
OTHER INVESTMENTS
Other investments include non-marketable equity securities that do not have readily determinable fair values. Certain significant inputs used in determining the fair value of these equities are based on management assumptions or contractual terms with another party that cannot be readily observable in the market. These investments are classified as Level 3 assets.
DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
Derivative instruments are reported at fair value using pricing valuation models, which utilize market data inputs or independent broker quotations. Excluding embedded derivatives, as of December 31, 2010, 99% of derivatives based upon notional values were priced by valuation models. The remaining derivatives were priced by broker quotations. The derivatives are valued using mid-market inputs that are predominantly observable in the market. Inputs used to value derivatives include, but are not limited to, interest swap rates, foreign currency forward and spot rates, credit spreads and correlations, interest and equity volatility and equity index levels. In accordance with the Codification’s Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic, a credit valuation analysis was performed for all derivative positions to measure the risk that one of the counterparties to the transaction will be unable to perform under the contractual terms (nonperformance risk) and was determined to be immaterial as of December 31, 2010.
The Company performs a monthly analysis on derivative valuations, which includes both quantitative and qualitative analysis. Examples of procedures performed include, but are not limited to, review of pricing statistics and trends, analyzing the impacts of changes in the market environment, and review of changes in market value for each derivative including those derivatives priced by brokers.
Derivative instruments classified as Level 2 primarily include interest rate, currency and certain credit default swaps. The derivative valuations are determined using pricing models with inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.
Derivative instruments classified as Level 3 include complex derivatives, such as equity options and swaps and certain credit default swaps. Also included in Level 3 classification for derivatives are embedded derivatives in certain insurance and reinsurance contracts. These derivatives are valued using pricing models, which utilize both observable and unobservable inputs and, to a lesser extent, broker quotations. A derivative instrument containing Level 1 or Level 2 inputs will be classified as a Level 3 financial instrument in its entirety if it has at least one significant Level 3 input.
The Company utilizes derivative instruments to manage the risk associated with certain assets and liabilities. However, the derivative instrument may not be classified within the same fair value hierarchy level as the associated assets and liabilities. Therefore, the realized and unrealized gains and losses on derivatives reported in Level 3 may not reflect the offsetting impact of the realized and unrealized gains and losses of the associated assets and liabilities.
VARIABLE ANNUITY GLB EMBEDDED DERIVATIVES
Fair values for variable annuity GLB and related reinsurance embedded derivatives are calculated based upon significant unobservable inputs using internally developed models because active, observable markets do not exist for those items. As a result, variable annuity GLB and related reinsurance embedded derivatives are categorized as Level 3. Below is a description of the Company’s fair value methodologies for these embedded derivatives.

PL-44



 

The Company’s fair value is calculated as an aggregation of fair value and additional risk margins including Behavior Risk Margin, Mortality Risk Margin and Credit Standing Adjustment. The resulting aggregation is reconciled or calibrated, if necessary, to market information that is, or may be, available to the Company, but may not be observable by other market participants, including reinsurance discussions and transactions. Each of the components described below are unobservable in the market place and requires subjectivity by the Company in determining their value.
    Behavior Risk Margin: This component adds a margin that market participants would require for the risk that the Company’s assumptions about policyholder behavior used in the fair value model could differ from actual experience.
 
    Mortality Risk Margin: This component adds a margin in mortality assumptions, both for decrements for policyholders with GLBs, and for expected payout lifetimes in guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefits.
 
    Credit Standing Adjustment: This component makes an adjustment that market participants would make to reflect the chance that GLB obligations or the GLB reinsurance recoverables will not be fulfilled (nonperformance risk).
SEPARATE ACCOUNT ASSETS
Separate account assets are primarily invested in mutual funds, but also have investments in fixed maturity and short-term securities. Separate account assets are valued in the same manner, and using the same pricing sources and inputs, as the fixed maturity and equity securities available for sale of the Company. Mutual funds are included in Level 1. Most fixed maturity securities are included in Level 2. Level 3 assets include any investments where fair value is based on management assumptions or obtained from independent third-parties and fair value measurement inputs are not sufficiently transparent.

During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company transferred $923 million of fixed maturity securities out of Level 2 and into Level 3, and transferred $3,916 million of fixed maturity securities out of Level 3 and into Level 2. The net transfers into Level 2 were primarily attributable to the increased availability and use of market observable inputs to estimate fair value. During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company did not have any significant transfers between Level 1 and 2.
During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company transferred $1,507 million of fixed maturity securities out of Level 2 and into Level 3, and transferred $1,868 million of fixed maturity securities out of Level 3 and into Level 2. The net transfers into Level 2 were primarily attributable to the increased availability and use of market observable inputs to estimate fair value. During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company did not have any significant transfers between Level 1 and Level 2.

    NONRECURRING FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
 
    Certain assets are measured at estimated fair value on a nonrecurring basis and are not included in the tables presented above. The amounts below relate to certain investments measured at estimated fair value during the year and still held at the reporting date.

    REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS
 
    During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company recognized an impairment of $27 million, which is included in OTTIs. The impaired investments presented above were accounted for using the cost basis. Real estate investments are evaluated for impairment based on the undiscounted cash flows expected to be received during the estimated holding period. When the undiscounted cash flows are less than the current carrying value of the property (gross cost less accumulated depreciation), the property may be considered impaired and written-down to its estimated fair value. Estimated fair value is determined using a combination of the present value of the expected future cash flows and comparable sales. These write-downs to estimated fair value represent nonrecurring fair value measurements that have been classified as Level 3 due to the limited activity and lack of price transparency inherent in the market for such investments.
 
    AIRCRAFT
 
    During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company recognized an impairment of $4 million, which is included in operating and other expenses, as a result of declines in the estimated future cash flows to be received from two aircraft. The Company evaluates carrying values of aircraft based upon changes in market and other physical and economic conditions and records write-offs to recognize losses in the value of aircraft when management believes that, based on future estimated cash flows, the recoverability of the Company’s investment in an aircraft has been impaired. The fair value is based on the present value of the future cash flows, which include contractual lease agreements, projected future lease payments as well as a residual value. The cash flows were based on unobservable inputs and have been classified as Level 3.
 
    The Company did not have any other nonfinancial assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis resulting from impairments as of December 31, 2010 and 2009. The Company has not made any changes in the valuation methodologies for nonfinancial assets and liabilities.

    The carrying amount and estimated fair value of the Company’s financial instruments that are not carried at fair value under the Codification’s Financial Instruments Topic are as follows:

(1)   Balance excludes embedded derivatives that are included in the fair value hierarchy level tables above.
    The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of these financial instruments as of December 31, 2010 and 2009:
 
    MORTGAGE LOANS
 
    The estimated fair value of the mortgage loan portfolio is determined by discounting the estimated future cash flows, using current rates that are applicable to similar credit quality, property type and average maturity of the composite portfolio.
 
    POLICY LOANS
 
    Policy loans are not separable from their associated insurance contract and bear no credit risk since they do not exceed the contract’s cash surrender value, making these assets fully secured by the cash surrender values of the contracts. Therefore, the carrying amount of the policy loans is a reasonable approximation of their fair value.
 
    OTHER INVESTED ASSETS
 
    Included in other invested assets are private equity investments in which the estimated fair value of private equity investments is based on the ownership percentage of the underlying equity of the investments.
 
    CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
 
    The carrying values approximate fair values due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
 
    RESTRICTED CASH
 
    The carrying values approximate fair values due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
 
    FUNDING AGREEMENTS AND GICs
 
    The fair value of funding agreements and GICs is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

PL-49



 

    ANNUITY AND DEPOSIT LIABILITIES
 
    Annuity and deposit liabilities primarily includes policyholder deposits and accumulated credited interest. The estimated fair value of annuity and deposit liabilities approximates carrying value based on an analysis of discounted future cash flows with maturities similar to the product portfolio liabilities.
 
    DEBT
 
    The carrying amount of short-term debt is a reasonable estimate of its fair value because the interest rates are variable and based on current market rates. The estimated fair value of long-term debt is based on market quotes, except for VIE debt and non-recourse debt, for which the carrying amounts are reasonable estimates of their fair values because the interest rate approximates current market rates.

16.   REINSURANCE
 
    Certain no lapse guarantee rider (NLGR) benefits of Pacific Life’s UL insurance products are subject to Actuarial Guideline 38 (AG 38) statutory reserving requirements. AG 38 results in additional statutory reserves on UL products with NLGRs issued after June 30, 2005. U.S. GAAP benefit reserves for such riders are based on guidance in the Codification’s Financial Services — Insurance Topic for accounting and reporting of certain non traditional long-duration contracts and separate accounts. Substantially all the U.S. GAAP benefit reserves relating to NLGRs issued from June 30, 2005 through March 31, 2010 were ceded from Pacific Life to Pacific Alliance Reinsurance Ltd. (PAR Bermuda), a Bermuda-based life reinsurance company wholly owned by Pacific LifeCorp and PAR Vermont under reinsurance agreements. Effective October 1, 2010, 100% of the PAR Bermuda reinsurance was novated to PAR Vermont, consolidating all such NLGR reinsurance in PAR Vermont. Funded economic reserves and an irrevocable letter of credit held in the PAR Vermont trust account with Pacific Life as beneficiary provide security for statutory reserve credits taken by Pacific Life. See Note 21 for further discussion of this letter of credit.
 
    Between January 1, 2006 and March 31, 2009, the Company reinsured a portion of variable annuity business under modified coinsurance agreements. Additionally, between January 1, 2007 and March 31, 2009, the Company reinsured a portion of variable annuity living and death benefit riders under coinsurance agreements. Business ceded during such periods ranged between 12% and 45%. While the Company stopped reinsuring variable annuity business effective April 1, 2009, new business related to the aforementioned periods continues to be reinsured.
 
    Reinsurance receivables and payables generally include amounts related to claims, reserves and reserve related items. Reinsurance receivables, included in other assets, were $326 million and $404 million as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Reinsurance payables, included in other liabilities, were $47 million and $37 million as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
 
    The ceding of risk does not discharge the Company from its primary obligations to contract owners. To the extent that the assuming companies become unable to meet their obligations under reinsurance contracts, the Company remains contingently liable. Each reinsurer is reviewed to evaluate its financial stability before entering into each reinsurance contract and throughout the period that the reinsurance contract is in place.
 
    The components of insurance premiums presented in the consolidated statements of operations are as follows:

17.   EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
 
    PENSION PLANS
 
    Prior to December 31, 2007, Pacific Life provided a defined benefit pension plan (ERP) covering all eligible employees of the Company. Certain subsidiaries did not participate in this plan. The full-benefit vesting period for all participants was five years. Pacific Life’s funding policy was to contribute amounts to the plan sufficient to meet the minimum funding requirements set forth in ERISA, plus such additional amounts as was determined appropriate. All such contributions were made to a tax-exempt trust.
 
    The Company amended the ERP to terminate effective December 31, 2007. In anticipation of the final settlement of the defined benefit pension plan, the plan’s investment strategy was revised and the mutual fund investments were sold, transferred to a separate account group annuity contract managed by the Company and invested primarily in fixed income investments to better match the expected duration of the liabilities.
 
    In September 2009, the Company received regulatory approval to commence the final termination of the ERP and payment of plan benefits to the participants. The Company completed the final distribution of plan assets to participants in December 2009. The Company recognized settlement costs of $5 million in 2008 and recognized the final settlement costs for the ERP totaling $72 million in 2009.
 
    Pacific Life maintains supplemental employee retirement plans (SERPs) for certain eligible employees. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the projected benefit obligation was $44 million and $37 million, respectively. The fair value of plan assets as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 was zero. The net periodic benefit expense of the SERPs was $5 million, $4 million and $5 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
 
    The following table sets forth the benefit obligations, plan assets and funded status of the defined benefit plans:

    RETIREMENT INCENTIVE SAVINGS PLAN
 
    Pacific Life provides a Retirement Incentive Savings Plan (RISP) covering all eligible employees of Pacific LifeCorp and certain of its subsidiaries. The RISP matches 75% of each employee’s contributions, up to a maximum of 6% of eligible employee compensation in cash. Contributions made by the Company to the RISP, including the matching contribution, amounted to $27 million, $26 million and $29 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and are included in operating expenses.
 
    POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS
 
    Pacific Life provides a defined benefit health care plan and a defined benefit life insurance plan (the Plans) that provide postretirement benefits for all eligible retirees and their dependents. Generally, qualified employees may become eligible for these benefits if they have reached normal retirement age, have been covered under Pacific Life’s policy as an active employee for a minimum continuous period prior to the date retired, and have an employment date before January 1, 1990. The Plans contain cost-sharing features such as deductibles and coinsurance, and require retirees to make contributions, which can be adjusted annually. Pacific Life’s commitment to qualified employees who retire after April 1, 1994 is limited to specific dollar amounts. Pacific Life reserves the right to modify or terminate the Plans at any time. As in the past, the general policy is to fund these benefits on a pay-as-you-go basis.
 
    The net periodic postretirement benefit cost for each of the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 was $1 million. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the accumulated benefit obligation was $19 million. The fair value of the plan assets as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 was zero.
 
    The discount rate used in determining the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation was 4.85% and 5.50% for 2010 and 2009, respectively.

    OTHER PLANS
 
    The Company has deferred compensation plans that permit eligible employees to defer portions of their compensation and earn interest on the deferred amounts. The interest rate is determined quarterly. The compensation that has been deferred has been accrued and the primary expense related to this plan, other than compensation, is interest on the deferred amounts. The Company also has performance-based incentive compensation plans for its employees.

    In December 2010, ACG and an unrelated third-party transferred aircraft to Singapore in connection with a joint venture (Singapore Transfer). The Singapore Transfer reduced the provision for income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2010 by $17 million, primarily due to the reversal of deferred taxes related to bases differences in the interest transferred. ACG plans to reinvest any income generated by these aircraft indefinitely outside of the U.S.

    During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company’s tax contingency related to the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes increased by $402 million for a tax position for which there was uncertainty about the timing, but not the deductibility, of certain tax deductions. Since the benefits of the tax position were not being claimed on an original return and the Company did not receive cash, interest or penalties were not accrued. Due to the nature of deferred tax accounting, the tax position does not have an impact on the annual effective tax rate.
 
    During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company’s contingency related to the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes decreased by $420 million. The Company resolved an uncertain tax accounting position on certain tax deductions resulting in a $402 million decrease. The Company also effectively settled $18 million of the gross uncertain tax position related to separate account Dividends Received Deductions (DRD), which resulted in the realization of $9 million of tax benefits.
 
    Depending on the outcome of Internal Revenue Service (IRS) audits, approximately $7 million of the unrecognized DRD tax benefits may be realized during the next twelve months. All realized tax benefits and related interest are recorded as a discrete item that will impact the effective tax rate in the accounting period in which the uncertain tax position is ultimately settled.
 
    During the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, the Company paid an insignificant amount of interest and penalties to state tax authorities.

    The tax net operating loss carryforwards relate to Federal tax losses incurred in 1998 through 2010 with a 20-year carryforward for non-life losses and a 15-year carryforward for life losses, and California tax losses incurred in 2004 through 2010 with a ten-year carryforward.
 
    The tax credit carryforwards relate to LIHTC, foreign tax credits, and alternative minimum tax (AMT) credits generated from 2000 to 2010. The LIHTC begin to expire in 2020. The foreign tax credits begin to expire in 2016. The AMT credits have no expiration date.
 
    The Codification’s Income Taxes Topic requires the reduction of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that a portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Based on management’s assessment, it is more likely than not that the Company’s deferred tax assets will be realized through future taxable income, including the reversal of deferred tax liabilities.
 
    The Company files income tax returns in U.S. Federal and various state jurisdictions. The Company is under continuous audit by the IRS and is audited periodically by some state taxing authorities. The IRS has completed audits of the Company’s tax returns through the tax years ended December 31, 2005 and has commenced audits for tax years 2006, 2007 and 2008. The State of California concluded audits for tax years 2003 and 2004 without material assessment. The Company does not expect the Federal and state audits to result in any material assessments.

19.   SEGMENT INFORMATION
 
    The Company has three operating segments: Life Insurance, Retirement Solutions and Aircraft Leasing. These segments are managed separately and have been identified based on differences in products and services offered. All other activity is included in the Corporate and Other segment.
 
    Prior to January 1, 2010, the Company’s financial reporting structure included the Investment Management segment. Effective January 1, 2010, structured settlement and group retirement annuities were moved to the Retirement Solutions segment. Other institutional investment products and the Company’s securities portfolio management became part of the Corporate and Other segment. The segment information included herein has been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the current operating segments for comparable purposes.
 
    The Life Insurance segment provides a broad range of life insurance products through multiple distribution channels operating in the upper income and corporate markets. Principal products include UL, VUL, survivor life, interest sensitive whole life, corporate-owned life insurance and traditional products such as whole life and term life. Distribution channels include regional life offices, marketing organizations, broker-dealer firms, wirehouses and M Financial, an association of independently owned and operated insurance and financial producers.
 
    The Retirement Solutions segment’s principal products include variable and fixed annuity products, mutual funds, and structured settlement and group retirement annuities, which are offered through multiple distribution channels. Distribution channels include independent planners, financial institutions and national/regional wirehouses. This segment’s name was changed from Annuities & Mutual Funds effective March 1, 2010.
 
    The Aircraft Leasing segment offers aircraft leasing to the airline industry throughout the world and provides brokerage and asset management services to other third-parties.
 
    The Corporate and Other segment consists of assets and activities, which support the Company’s operating segments. Included in these support activities is the management of investments, certain entity level hedging activities and other expenses and other assets not directly attributable to the operating segments. The Corporate and Other segment also includes the operations of certain subsidiaries that do not qualify as operating segments and the elimination of intersegment transactions. Discontinued operations (Note 6) are also included in the Corporate and Other segment.
 
    The Company uses the same accounting policies and procedures to measure segment net income (loss) and assets as it uses to measure its consolidated net income (loss) and assets. Net investment income and net realized investment gain (loss) are allocated based on invested assets purchased and held as is required for transacting the business of that segment. Overhead expenses are allocated based on services provided. Interest expense is allocated based on the short-term borrowing needs of the segment and is included in net investment income. The provision (benefit) for income taxes is allocated based on each segment’s actual tax provision (benefit).
 
    The operating segments, excluding Aircraft Leasing, are allocated equity based on formulas determined by management and receive a fixed interest rate of return on interdivision debentures supporting the allocated equity. The debenture amount is reflected as investment expense in net investment income in the Corporate and Other segment and as investment income in the operating segments.
 
    The Company generates substantially all of its revenues and net income from customers located in the U.S. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company had foreign investments with an estimated fair value of $8.0 billion and $7.2 billion, respectively. Aircraft leased to foreign customers were $5.1 billion and $5.0 billion as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Revenues derived from any customer did not exceed 10% of consolidated total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008.

    As of December 31, 2010, ACG has commitments with major aircraft manufacturers and other third-parties to purchase aircraft at an estimated delivery price of $6,125 million with delivery from 2011 through 2017. These purchase commitments may be funded:
    up to $1,205 million in less than one year,
 
    an additional $2,297 million in one to three years,
 
    an additional $1,699 million in three to five years, and
 
    an additional $417 million thereafter.
    As of December 31, 2010, deposits related to these agreements totaled $507 million and are included in other assets.
 
    In connection with an acquisition in 2005, ACG assumed residual value support agreements with remaining expiration dates ranging from 2011 to 2015. The gross remaining residual value exposure under these agreements was $99 million as of December 31, 2010 and 2009. As of December 31, 2010, the Company has estimated that it has no measurable liability under the remaining residual value guarantee agreements.
 
    In connection with the reinsurance of NLGR benefits ceded from Pacific Life to PAR Vermont (Note 16), PAR Bermuda and PAR Vermont entered into a three year letter of credit agreement with a group of banks in April 2009. This agreement allows for the issuance of letters of credit with an expiration date of March 2012 to PAR Bermuda and PAR Vermont for up to a combined total amount of $650 million. As of December 31, 2010, the letter of credit issued from this facility for PAR Bermuda was cancelled. In addition, as of December 31, 2010, a letter of credit was issued for PAR Vermont totaling $355 million. Pacific LifeCorp guarantees the obligations of PAR Vermont under the letter of credit agreement.
 
    On March 29, 2010, the Company entered into an agreement with PLR to guarantee the performance of unaffiliated reinsurance obligations of PLR. PLR will pay the Company a fee for its guarantee. For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company earned $2 million under the agreement for its guarantee. This guarantee is secondary to a similar guarantee provided by Pacific LifeCorp and would only be triggered in the event of nonperformance by both PLR and Pacific LifeCorp. Management believes that any additional obligations, if any, related to the guarantee agreement are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. PLR is incorporated in the United Kingdom (UK) and provides reinsurance to insurance and annuity providers in the UK, Ireland and to insurers in selected markets in Asia.
 
    CONTINGENCIES — LITIGATION
 
    The Company is a respondent in a number of legal proceedings, some of which involve allegations for extra-contractual damages. Although the Company is confident of its position in these matters, success is not a certainty and it is possible that in any case a judge or jury could rule against the Company. In the opinion of management, the outcome of such proceedings is not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position. The Company believes adequate provision has been made in its consolidated financial statements for all probable and estimable losses for litigation claims against the Company.
 
    CONTINGENCIES — IRS REVENUE RULING
 
    On August 16, 2007, the IRS issued Revenue Ruling 2007-54, which provided the IRS’ interpretation of tax law regarding the computation of the DRD. On September 25, 2007, the IRS issued Revenue Ruling 2007-61, which suspended Revenue Ruling 2007-54 and indicated the IRS would address the proper interpretation of tax law in a regulation project that is on the IRS’ priority guidance plan. Although no guidance has been issued, if the IRS ultimately adopts the interpretation contained in Revenue Ruling 2007-54, the Company could lose a substantial amount of DRD tax benefits, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
    CONTINGENCIES — OTHER
 
    In connection with the sale of certain broker-dealer subsidiaries (Note 6), certain indemnifications triggered by breaches of representations, warranties or covenants were provided by the Company. Also, included in the indemnifications is indemnification for certain third-party claims arising from the normal operation of these broker-dealers prior to the closing and within the nine month period following the sale. Management believes that judgments, if any, against the Company related to such matters are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
    In the course of its business, the Company provides certain indemnifications related to other dispositions, acquisitions, investments, lease agreements or other transactions that are triggered by, among other things, breaches of representations, warranties or covenants provided by the Company. These obligations are typically subject to time limitations that vary in duration,

PL-62



 

    including contractual limitations and those that arise by operation of law, such as applicable statutes of limitation. Because the amounts of these types of indemnifications often are not explicitly stated, the overall maximum amount of the obligation under such indemnifications cannot be reasonably estimated. The Company has not historically made material payments for these types of indemnifications. The estimated maximum potential amount of future payments under these obligations is not determinable due to the lack of a stated maximum liability for certain matters, and therefore, no related liability has been recorded. Management believes that judgments, if any, against the Company related to such matters are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
    Most of the jurisdictions in which the Company is admitted to transact business require life insurance companies to participate in guaranty associations, which are organized to pay contractual benefits owed pursuant to insurance policies issued by insolvent life insurance companies. These associations levy assessments, up to prescribed limits, on all member companies in a particular state based on the proportionate share of premiums written by member companies in the lines of business in which the insolvent insurer operated. The Company has not received notification of any insolvency that is expected to result in a material guaranty fund assessment.
 
    The Asset Purchase Agreements of Aviation Trust, ACG Trust II and ACG Trust III (Note 4) provide that Pacific LifeCorp will guarantee the performance of certain obligations of ACG, as well as provide certain indemnifications, and that Pacific Life will assume certain obligations of ACG arising from the breach of certain representations and warranties under the Asset Purchase Agreements. Management believes that obligations, if any, related to these guarantees are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The financial debt obligations of Aviation Trust, ACG Trust II and ACG Trust III are non-recourse to the Company and are not guaranteed by the Company.
 
    In connection with the operations of certain subsidiaries, Pacific Life has made commitments to provide for additional capital funding as may be required.

Item 29. Indemnification

(a)   The Distribution Agreement between Pacific Life and Pacific Select Distributors, Inc. (PSD) provides substantially as follows:

Pacific Life hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless PSD and its officers and directors, and employees for any expenses (including legal expenses), losses, claims, damages, or liabilities incurred by reason of any untrue or alleged untrue statement or representation of a material fact or any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated to make other statements not misleading, if made in reliance on any prospectus, registration statement, post-effective amendment thereof, or sales materials supplied or approved by Pacific Life or the Separate Account.
