                        PACIFIC SELECT ESTATE PRESERVER

                        LAST SURVIVOR FLEXIBLE PREMIUM 
                         VARIABLE LIFE INSURANCE POLICY
                ISSUED BY PACIFIC MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
           700 NEWPORT CENTER DRIVE, NEWPORT BEACH, CALIFORNIA  92660
                                 1-800-800-7681

     This prospectus describes Pacific Select Estate Preserver -- a Last
Survivor Flexible Premium Variable Life Insurance Policy (individually, the
"Policy," and collectively, the "Policies") offered by Pacific Mutual Life
Insurance Company ("Pacific Mutual", "we", "us", or "our"). The Policy, for so
long as it remains in force, provides lifetime insurance protection on the lives
of two Insureds named in the Policy, with a death benefit payable when the last
surviving Insured dies while the Policy is in force. Four death benefit options
are available under the Policy. The Policy is designed to provide flexibility in
connection with premium payments and death benefits to permit a Policy Owner to
provide for changing insurance needs under a single insurance policy. A Policy
may be surrendered for its Cash Surrender Value, less outstanding Policy Debt.

     Net premium payments may be allocated at the Policy Owner's discretion to
one or more of the Investment Options available under the Policy to the Owner.
Variable Investment Options are funded by one of our separate accounts, the
Pacific Select Exec Separate Account (the "Separate Account"), which is divided
into Variable Accounts.  Each of the twelve Variable Accounts that are currently
available to the Owner invest in a corresponding portfolio of the Pacific Select
Fund (the "Fund"):

     Money Market Portfolio             Growth LT Portfolio
     High Yield Bond Portfolio          Equity Income Portfolio
     Managed Bond Portfolio             Multi-Strategy Portfolio
     Government Securities Portfolio    Equity Index Portfolio
     Growth Portfolio                   International Portfolio
     Aggressive Equity Portfolio        Emerging Markets Portfolio
 


     Net premium payments also may be allocated to the Fixed Account. The
Accumulated Value in the Fixed Account will accrue interest at an interest rate
that is guaranteed by us.  This prospectus generally describes only the portion
of the Policy involving the Separate Account. For a brief summary of the Fixed
Account, see "The Fixed Account," page __.

     To the extent that all or a portion of net premium payments are allocated
to the Separate Account, the Accumulated Value under the Policy will vary based
upon the investment performance of the Variable Accounts to which the
Accumulated Value is allocated. No minimum amount of Accumulated Value is
guaranteed.

     The Policy insures the lives of two Insureds and is intended to provide
death benefits after the deaths of both of the Insureds. Prospective applicants
for the Policy should consult with their agent regarding the appropriateness of
the Policy, relative to a life insurance policy insuring the life of only one
person, for their financial planning goals.

     It may not be advantageous to replace existing insurance with this Policy.
The Policy may be returned according to the terms of its Free-Look Right (see
"Right to Examine a Policy--Free-Look Right," page ___).

later designation to receive the death benefit proceeds upon the death of the
last surviving Insured.

Cash Surrender Value--The Accumulated Value less the surrender charge.

Planned Periodic Premium--The premium determined by you as a level amount
planned to be paid at fixed intervals over a specified period of time.

Face Amount--The minimum death benefit for so long as your Policy remains in

discretion pay interest in excess of the guaranteed amount.

General Account--All of our assets other than those allocated to the Separate

Anniversaries.  It is usually the date the initial premium is received at our
Home Office, although it will never be the 29th, 30th, or 31st of any month.
The term "Issue Date" is substituted for Policy Date with respect to Policies
issued to residents of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

Policy Debt--The unpaid Policy loan balance including accrued loan interest.

Policy Owner, Owner, you, or your--The person or persons who own the Policy.  If
the Policy has been absolutely assigned, the assignee becomes the Owner.  A
collateral assignee is not the Owner.

Sales Surrender Target--The maximum amount of premiums paid against which the
sales surrender charge may be applied.  The Sales Surrender Target is equal to a
specified amount that varies with the Joint Equal Age of the Insureds for each
$1,000 of a Policy's initial Face Amount in accordance with schedule shown in
Appendix B.

Survivor--The Insured remaining alive after the first death of the two Insureds
that occurs while your Policy is in force.

Valuation Date--Each date on which the Separate Account is valued, which
currently includes each day that the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading
and on which our administrative offices are open.  The New York Stock Exchange
is closed on weekends and on: New Year's Day, Presidents' Day, Good Friday,
Memorial Day, July Fourth, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day.  Our
administrative offices are normally not open on the following: the Monday before
New Year's Day, July Fourth, or Christmas Day if any of these holidays falls on
a Tuesday; the Friday after New Year's Day, July Fourth or Christmas Day if any
of these holidays falls on a Thursday; and the Friday after Thanksgiving.  If
any transaction or event is scheduled to occur on a day that is not a Valuation
Date, such transaction or event will be deemed to occur on the next following
Valuation Date unless otherwise specified.

Valuation Period--The period that starts at the close of a Valuation Date and
ends at the close of the next succeeding Valuation Date.

Variable Account--A separate account of ours or a subaccount of such a separate
account, which is used only to support the variable death benefits and policy
values of variable life insurance policies, and the assets of which are
segregated from our General Account and our other

                                     - 2 -

separate accounts.  The Separate Account serves as the funding vehicle for the
Policies.  The Money Market Variable Account, High Yield Bond Variable Account,
Managed Bond Variable Account, Government Securities Variable Account, Growth
Variable Account, Aggressive Equity Variable Account, Growth LT Variable
Account, Equity Income Variable Account, Multi-Strategy Variable Account, Equity

                             SUMMARY OF THE POLICY

          This summary is intended to provide a brief overview of the more
significant aspects of the Policy.  Further detail is provided in this
prospectus and in the Policy.  Unless the context indicates otherwise, the
discussion in this summary and the remainder of the prospectus relates to the
portion of the Policy involving the Separate Account.  The Fixed Account is
briefly described under "The Fixed Account," on page __ and in the Policy.

PURPOSE OF THE POLICY

          Like traditional fixed life insurance, the Policy provides for a death
benefit equal to its Face Amount, accumulation of cash value, and surrender and
loan privileges.  Unlike traditional fixed life insurance, your Policy offers a
choice of investment alternatives, and an opportunity for your Policy's
Accumulated Value and, if elected by you and under certain circumstances, its
death benefit to grow based on investment results.  The Policy is a flexible
premium policy, so that, unlike many other life insurance policies and subject
to certain limitations, you may choose the amount and frequency of premium
payments.

          Your Policy offers you lifetime insurance protection on the lives of
two Insureds for so long as your Policy is in force.  The death benefit proceeds
under your Policy are payable upon the death of the last surviving Insured named
in your Policy.  The Policy is intended for situations in which you desire to
provide a benefit to beneficiaries after the deaths of two persons.  For
example, the Policy could be used where two spouses wish to provide an estate
benefit for their children after the death of both spouses.  The Policy might
not be appropriate where one spouse wishes to provide a benefit to the other
spouse after the death of the first spouse.  An insurance policy for a single
insured may be better in this situation.  We offer variable life insurance
policies that provide protection for the life of one insured.  Applicants should
consult their agent on the appropriateness of the Policy for their situation.

POLICY VALUES

          You may allocate net premium payments among the various Investment
Options available to you.

          You bear the investment risk on that portion of the net premiums and
Accumulated Value allocated to the Variable Accounts.  The death benefit may or
may not increase or decrease depending upon several factors, including the death
benefit option you select, although the death benefit will never decrease below
the Face Amount provided your Policy is in force.  There is no guarantee that
your Policy's Accumulated Value and death benefit will increase.

                                     - 4 -
<PAGE>
 
          Your Policy will remain in force until the earliest of the death of
the Survivor, lapse, or a full surrender of your Policy.

THE DEATH BENEFIT

          You may elect one of four death benefit options under the Policy. The
amount of death benefit is the greater of the Policy's Guideline Minimum Death
Benefit or the death benefit under the option you select.

   Option                                    Death Benefit
   ------                                    -------------
 
   Option A                             Face Amount

   Option B                             Face Amount plus Accumulated Value

   Option C                             Face Amount plus premiums paid minus
                                        Partial Withdrawals

   Option D                             Face Amount multiplied by the
                                        applicable Death Benefit Factor

          You may change the death benefit option to Option A or B subject to
certain conditions.  See "Death Benefit" and "Changes in Death Benefit Option,"
pages __ and __, respectively.

PREMIUM FEATURES

          We require you to pay an initial premium equal to at least 25% of an
annual premium that will be estimated by us.  Thereafter, subject to certain
limitations, you may choose the amount and frequency of premium payments.  The
Policy, therefore, provides you with the flexibility to vary premium payments to
reflect varying financial conditions.

INVESTMENT OPTIONS

          You may choose to allocate net premium payments to one or more of the
thirteen Investment Options available to you.

          The twelve Variable Accounts available to you invest in portfolios of
a mutual fund which offers you the opportunity to direct us to invest in
diversified portfolios of stocks, bonds, money market instruments, or a
combination of these securities, or in securities of foreign issuers. Each of
the available Variable Accounts invests exclusively in shares of a designated
Portfolio of the Fund.  Each of the Portfolios of the Fund, which are shown in
the chart on page ___, has a different investment objective or objectives.  See
"The Pacific Select Fund," page __.

          You also may allocate all or a portion of net premium payments and
transfer Accumulated Value to the Fixed Account.  We guarantee that the
Accumulated Value allocated to the Fixed Account will be credited

                                     - 5 -
<PAGE>
 
interest monthly at a rate equivalent to an effective annual rate of 4%, and may
in its sole discretion pay interest in excess of the guaranteed amount.  See
"The Fixed Account," page __.

TRANSFER OF ACCUMULATED VALUE

          Subject to certain limitations, you may transfer Accumulated Value
among the Variable Accounts and between the Variable Accounts and the Fixed
Account.  See "Transfer of Accumulated Value," page __.

POLICY LOANS

          You may borrow from us an amount up to the greater of (1) 90% of your
Policy's Accumulated Value allocated to the Variable Accounts and 100% of
Accumulated Value allocated to the Fixed Account, less any surrender charges
that would have been imposed if your Policy were surrendered on the date the
loan is taken, or (2) 100% of the product of (a X b/c - d) where (a) equals the
Policy's Accumulated Value less any surrender charge that would be imposed if
the Policy were surrendered on the date the loan is taken and less 12 times the
current monthly deduction; (b) equals 1 plus the annual loan interest rate
credited; (c) equals 1 plus the annual loan interest rate currently charged; and
(d) equals any existing Policy Debt.  The minimum loan is $500. Your Policy will
be the only security required for a loan.  The amount of any Policy Debt is
subtracted from the death benefit or from your Cash Surrender Value upon
surrender.  See "Policy Loans," page __.

FREE-LOOK RIGHT

          A Policy Owner may obtain a full refund of the premium paid if the
Policy is returned within 10 days after the Owner receives it (30 days if the
Owner is a resident of California and is age 60 or older), within 10 days after
we mail or deliver the notice of right of withdrawal, or within 45 days after
the application for the Policy is completed, whichever is later (the "Free-Look
Transfer Date").  See "Right to Examine a Policy -- Free-Look Right," page __.

SURRENDER RIGHT

          You can surrender the Policy while either Insured is living and
receive your Net Cash Surrender Value, which is equal to your Policy's
Accumulated Value less the surrender charge and less any outstanding Policy
Debt.

PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS

          After the first Policy Anniversary and subject to certain
restrictions, you may make Partial Withdrawals of Net Cash Surrender Value.  A
withdrawal fee of $25 will be assessed upon a Partial Withdrawal.  A Partial
Withdrawal might decrease the Face Amount on a Policy.  See "Partial
Withdrawals," page __.

CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS

 .  Premium Load

          A premium load is deducted from each premium payment under a Policy
prior to allocation of the net premium to the Policy Owner's Accumulated Value.
The premium load consists of the following items:

  --  A sales load equal to 5% of each premium paid during the first ten Policy
      Years and 3% of each premium paid thereafter. (For information on the
      sales surrender charge, see page __.)

  --  A state and local premium tax charge equal to 2.35% of each premium paid.

  --  A federal tax charge equal to 1.50% of each premium paid.

 .  Deductions from Accumulated Value

          A charge called the monthly deduction is deducted from the Policy's
Accumulated Value on each Monthly Payment Date.  The monthly deduction consists
of the following items:

  --  Cost of Insurance:  The amount of the charge is equal to a current cost of
      insurance rate multiplied by the net amount at risk under a Policy at the
      beginning of the Policy Month.

  --  Administrative Charge. A monthly administrative charge is deducted equal
      to $16 in each of the first five Policy Years, and thereafter at a rate
      equal to $6 per month.

  --  Mortality and Expense Risk Charge.  The mortality and expense risk charge
      consists of two components:

     (1) Face Amount Component - During the first ten Policy Years, the Face
         Amount Component will be assessed at a rate determined with reference
         to the Joint Equal Age of the Insureds and the initial Face Amount of
         the Policy. This component is not assessed after the tenth Policy Year.

     (2) Accumulated Value Component - The Accumulated Value Component is
         assessed at an annual rate equal to .30% of Accumulated Value in the
         first 20 Policy Years and an annual rate equal to .10% of Accumulated
         Value thereafter. For purposes of this component, the Accumulated Value
         is determined after the deduction of the cost of insurance charge and
         charges for any optional insurance Riders or Benefits added to the
         Policy.

  -- Optional Insurance Benefits Charges: The monthly deduction will include
     charges for any optional insurance Riders or Benefits added to the Policy.

                                     - 7 -
<PAGE>
 
 .  Surrender Charge

     We will assess a surrender charge against Accumulated Value upon surrender
of a Policy until the tenth Policy Anniversary.  The surrender charge consists
of two charges: an underwriting surrender charge and a sales surrender charge.

  -- Underwriting Surrender Charge: The underwriting surrender charge is equal
     to a specified amount that varies with the Joint Equal Age of the Insureds
     for each $1,000 of a Policy's initial Face Amount in accordance with a
     schedule shown in Appendix B. After the first Policy Year, the charge
     decreases by 0.9259% per month until it reaches zero at the end of the
     120th Policy Month.

  -- Sales Surrender Charge: During the first Policy Year, the sales surrender
     charge is equal to 25% of the lesser of the premiums paid under the Policy
     or the Sales Surrender Target. The Sales Surrender Target is equal to a
     specified amount that varies with the Joint Equal Age of the Insureds for
     each $1,000 of a Policy's initial Face Amount in accordance with a schedule
     shown in Appendix B. After the first Policy Year, the sales surrender
     charge as calculated above is adjusted by a reduction factor. This
     reduction factor is equal to 99.0741% in the 13th month and reduces by
     0.9259% per month until it reaches zero at the end of the 120th Policy
     Month.

     The operating expenses of the Separate Account are paid by us. Investment
advisory fees and operating expenses of the Fund are paid by the Fund.  For a
description of these charges, see "Charges and Deductions," page __.

TAX TREATMENT OF INCREASES IN ACCUMULATED VALUE

     We believe that the Accumulated Value under the Policy is currently subject
to the same federal income tax treatment as the cash value under traditional
fixed life insurance.  Therefore, generally you will not be deemed to be in
constructive receipt of  your Accumulated Value unless and until you are deemed
to be in receipt of a distribution from your Policy.  For information on the tax
treatment of the Policy and on the tax treatment of a surrender, a Partial
Withdrawal, or a Policy loan, see "Federal Income Tax Considerations," page __.

TAX TREATMENT OF DEATH BENEFIT

     We believe that the death benefit under the Policy is currently subject to
federal income tax treatment consistent with that of traditional fixed life
insurance.  Therefore, generally the death benefit will be fully excludable from
the gross income of the Beneficiary under the Internal Revenue Code.  See
"Federal Income Tax Considerations," page __.

CONTACTING PACIFIC MUTUAL

     All written requests, notices, and forms required by the Policies, and any
questions or inquiries should be directed to our Policy Benefits and Services
Department at 700 Newport Center Drive, P.O. Box 7500, Newport Beach, California
92658-7500.

     The effective date of certain notices or of instructions is determined by
the date and time on which Pacific Mutual "receives" the notice or instructions.
Unless otherwise stated, we "receive" this information only when it arrives
"properly completed" at our Home Office. Premium payments after your initial
premium payment, transfer requests, and withdrawal requests we receive before
4:00 p.m. Eastern time (or the close of the New York Stock Exchange, if earlier)
will normally be effective as of the end of the Valuation Day that we receive
them "properly completed," unless the transaction or event is scheduled to occur
on another day. Transactions are effected as of the end of the Valuation Date on
which they are effective. "Properly completed" may require, among other things,
a signature guarantee or other verification of authenticity. We do not generally
require a signature guarantee unless it appears that your signature may have
changed over time or due to other circumstances. Requests regarding death
benefits must be accompanied by both proof of death and instructions regarding
payment satisfactory to us. You should call your registered representative or
Pacific Mutual if you have questions regarding the required form of a request.

PACIFIC SELECT EXEC SEPARATE ACCOUNT

     The Separate Account is a separate investment account of ours that is used
only to support the variable death benefits and policy values of variable life
insurance policies.  The assets in the Separate Account are kept separate from
our General Account assets and our other separate accounts.

     We own the assets in the Separate Account and are required to maintain
sufficient assets in the Separate Account to meet anticipated obligations of the
insurance policies funded by the Account.  The Separate Account is divided into
subaccounts called Variable Accounts. The income, gains, or losses, realized or
unrealized, of each Variable Account are credited to or charged against the
assets held in the Variable Account without regard to our other income, gains,
or losses. Assets in the Separate Account attributable to the reserves and other
liabilities under the variable life insurance policies funded by the Separate
Account are not chargeable with liabilities arising from any other business that
we conduct.  However, we may transfer to our General Account any assets which
exceed anticipated obligations of the Separate Account.  All obligations arising
under the Policy are our general corporate obligations.  We may accumulate in
the Separate Account proceeds from various policy charges and investment results
applicable to those assets.

     The Separate Account was established on May 12, 1988 under California law
under the authority of our Board of Directors.  The Separate Account is
registered as a unit investment trust with the SEC. Such registration does not
involve any supervision by the SEC of the administration or investment practices
or policies of the Account.

     Each Variable Account available to you invests exclusively in shares of a
designated Portfolio of the Fund.  We may in the future establish additional
Variable Accounts within the Separate Account, which may invest in other
Portfolios of the Fund or in other securities.

THE PACIFIC SELECT FUND

     The Fund is a diversified, open-end management investment company of the
series type, generally known as a mutual fund.  The Fund is registered with the
SEC under the Investment Company Act of 1940.  The Fund currently offers twelve
separate Portfolios that fund the Variable Investments Options available to you.
Each Portfolio pursues different investment objectives and policies. The shares
of each Portfolio are purchased by us for the corresponding Variable Account at
net asset value, i.e., without sales load. All dividends and capital gains
                 ----                                                      
distributions received from a Portfolio are automatically reinvested in such
Portfolio at net asset value, unless we, on behalf of the Separate Account,
elect otherwise.  Fund shares will be redeemed by us at their net asset value to
the extent necessary to make payments under the Policies.

                                     - 10 -
<PAGE>
 
      Shares of the Fund currently are offered only to separate accounts of ours
and an affiliated insurer to serve as an investment medium for variable life
insurance policies and variable annuity contracts issued or administered by
these insurers.  Shares of the Fund may also be sold in the future to separate
accounts of other insurance companies, either affiliated or not affiliated with
us.  Investment in the Fund by other separate accounts in connection with
variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts may potentially create
conflicts.  See "MORE ON THE FUND'S SHARES" in the accompanying prospectus of
the Fund.

     The chart below summarizes some basic data about each Portfolio of the Fund
offered to the Separate Account. There can be no assurance that any Portfolio
will achieve its objective. This chart is only a summary. You should read the
more detailed information which is contained in the accompanying prospectus of
the Fund, including information on the risks associated with the investments and
investment techniques of each of the Portfolios.

     THE FUND'S PROSPECTUS ACCOMPANIES THIS PROSPECTUS AND SHOULD BE READ
CAREFULLY BEFORE INVESTING.

THE INVESTMENT ADVISER AND PORTFOLIO MANAGERS

     We serve as Investment Adviser to each Portfolio of the Fund.  We are
registered with the SEC as an Investment Adviser.  For ten of the Portfolios, we
and the Fund have engaged other firms to serve as Portfolio Managers, which are
shown in the chart above.

                                   THE POLICY

     The variable life insurance benefits provided by the Policies are funded
through the Policy Owner's Accumulated Value in the Separate Account and the
Fixed Account.  The information included below describes the benefits, features,
charges, and other major provisions of the Policies.

APPLICATION FOR A POLICY

     The Policy is designed to meet the needs of individuals by insuring the
lives of two Insureds.  Anyone wishing to purchase the Policy may submit an
application to us.  A Policy can be issued on the life of Insureds for Ages 20
through Age 85 with evidence of insurability satisfactory to us.  An Insured's
Age is calculated for most purposes as of the Insured's birthday nearest the
Policy Date.  Acceptance is subject to our underwriting rules, and we reserve
the right to request additional information and to reject an application.

     Each Policy is issued with a Policy Date.  If your application is
accompanied by all or a portion of the initial premium and is accepted by us,
your Policy Date is usually the date the application and premium payment were
received at our Home Office, although your Policy Date will never be the 29th,
30th, or 31st of any month.  If your application is not accompanied by all or a
portion of the initial premium payment, your Policy Date is usually the date
your application is accepted by us.  We first become obligated under your Policy
on the date your total initial premium is received or on the date your
application is accepted, whichever is later.  Any monthly deductions due will be
taken on the Monthly Payment Date on or next following the date we become
obligated. Your initial premium must be received within 20 days after your
Policy is issued, although we may waive the 20 day requirement at our
discretion.  If your initial premium is not received or your application is
rejected by us, your Policy will be cancelled and any partial premium received
will be refunded.

     Subject to our approval, your Policy may be backdated, but your Policy Date
may not be more than six months prior to the date of your application.
Backdating can be advantageous if the Insureds' lower issue

                                     - 13 -
<PAGE>
 
Ages results in lower cost of insurance rates.  If your Policy is backdated, the
minimum initial premium required will include sufficient premium to cover the
backdating period.  Monthly deductions will be made for the period your Policy
Date is backdated.

     Insureds are assigned to underwriting (insurance risk) classes which are
used in calculating the cost of insurance charges.  In assigning Insureds to
underwriting classes, we will normally use the medical or paramedical
underwriting method, which may require a medical examination of a proposed
Insured, although other forms of underwriting may be used when deemed
appropriate by us.

PREMIUMS

     The Policy is a flexible-premium policy, and it provides considerable
flexibility, subject to the limitations described below, to pay premiums at your
discretion.  We usually require you to pay a minimum initial premium equal to at
least 25% of the sum of your Policy's monthly deductions plus premium load for
the first year, which will be based upon your Policy's Face Amount and the Age,
smoking status, gender (unless unisex cost of insurance rates apply, see "Cost
of Insurance," page __), and underwriting classes of the Insureds.  Thereafter,
subject to the limitations described below, you may choose the amount and
frequency of premium payments.  The Policy, therefore, provides the Policy Owner
with the flexibility to vary premium payments to reflect varying financial
conditions.

     When applying for a Policy, you will determine a Planned Periodic Premium
that provides for the payment of level premiums at fixed intervals over a
specified period of time.  You will receive a premium reminder notice annually,
semi-annually, or quarterly; however, you are not required to pay Planned
Periodic Premiums.  Premiums may be paid monthly under the Uni-check electronic
funds transfer plan where you authorize us to withdraw premiums from your
checking account each month. The minimum initial premium required must be paid
before the Uni-check plan will be accepted by us. You may elect the day each
month on which premiums are paid under the Uni-check plan, provided the day
elected is between the 4th and the 28th day of the month.  If no day is elected
by you, the day on which premiums are paid will be the Monthly Anniversary.

                                     - 14 -
<PAGE>
 
     Payment of the Periodic Planned Premium will not guarantee that your Policy
will remain in force.  Instead, the continuation of your Policy depends upon
your Policy's Accumulated Value.  Even if Periodic Planned Premiums are paid,
your Policy will lapse any time Accumulated Value less Policy Debt is
insufficient to pay the current monthly deduction and a grace period expires
without sufficient payment.  See "Lapse," page __.

     Any premium payment must be for at least $50.00.  We also may reject or
limit any premium payment that would result in an immediate increase in the net
amount at risk under the Policy, although such a premium may be accepted with
satisfactory evidence of insurability.  See "Cost of Insurance," page __.  A
premium payment would result in an immediate increase in the net amount at risk
if the death benefit under your Policy is, or upon acceptance of the premium
would be, equal to your Guideline Minimum Death Benefit.  See "Death Benefit,"
page __.  If satisfactory evidence of insurability is not received, the payment,
or portion thereof, may be returned.  All or a portion of a premium payment will
be rejected and returned to you if it would exceed the maximum premium
limitations prescribed by federal tax law.  We also reserve the right to make
distributions from your Policy to the extent we deem it necessary to continue to
qualify your Policy as life insurance under the Internal Revenue code.


     The amount, frequency, and period of time over which you pay premiums might
affect whether your Policy will be classified as a modified endowment contract,
which is a type of life insurance contract subject to different tax treatment
for certain pre-death distributions than conventional life insurance contracts.

     In order for your Policy to avoid being treated as a modified endowment
contract, the sum of the premiums paid less a portion of any Partial Withdrawals
may not exceed the "seven pay premium" limit as defined in the Internal Revenue
Code. (See "Federal Income Tax Considerations"). If we receive any premium
payment that we believe, if applied to your Policy in that Policy year, would
cause your Policy to become a modified endowment contract, the portion of the
payment that we believe would cause your Policy to become a modified endowment
contract will not be applied to your Policy but will be returned to you, unless
you have previously notified us that payments that cause your Policy to become a
modified endowment contract may be accepted by us and applied to your Policy.
However, for premium payments received by us at our Home Office within 20 days
before the upcoming Annual Anniversary of your Policy, we may apply the portion
of the premium payment that we believe would cause your Policy to become a
modified endowment contract to your Policy on the upcoming Annual Anniversary.

     Certain charges will be deducted from each premium payment.  See "Charges
and Deductions," page __.  The remainder of the premium, known as the net
premium, will be allocated as described below under "Allocation of Net
Premiums."  Additional payments will first be treated as premium payments unless
you request otherwise.

ALLOCATION OF NET PREMIUMS

     In your application for the Policy, you select the Investment Options to
which net premium payments will be allocated.  When your application is approved
and your Policy is issued, your Accumulated Value will be automatically
allocated according to your instructions contained in your application, or more
recent written instructions, if any (except for amounts allocated to the Loan
Account to secure any Policy Debt). For residents of states that require a
refund of premium to an Owner who returns the Policy during the Free-Look
Period, net premiums received by

                                     - 15 -
<PAGE>
 
us before the Free-Look Transfer Date will be allocated to the Money Market
Variable Account (except for amounts allocated to the Loan Account to secure any
Policy loan). The Free-Look Transfer Date is the later of 15 days after the
Policy is issued or 45 days after the application is signed, or, if longer, upon
receipt of the minimum initial premium. Net premiums received after the Free-
Look Transfer Date will be allocated upon receipt among the Investment Options
according to your most recent instructions.

     You may change the allocation of net premiums by submitting a proper
written request to our Home Office.  Changes in net premium allocation
instructions may be made by telephone if a properly completed Authorization for
Telephone Requests is on file at our Home Office.  We reserve the right to
suspend or discontinue telephone net premium allocation instructions.

DOLLAR COST AVERAGING OPTION

     We currently offer an option under which you may dollar cost average your
allocations in the available Variable Accounts under your Policy by authorizing
us to make periodic allocations of Accumulated Value from any one Variable
Account to one or more of the other Variable Accounts. Dollar cost averaging is
a systematic method of investing under which securities are purchased at regular
intervals in fixed dollar amounts so that the cost of the securities gets
averaged over time and possibly over various market values.  The option will
result in the allocation of Accumulated Value to one or more Variable Accounts,
and these amounts will be credited at the Accumulation Unit values as of the end
of the Valuation Dates on which the transfers are processed.  Since the value of
Accumulation Units will vary, the amounts allocated to a Variable Account will
result in the crediting of a greater number of units when the Accumulation Unit
value is low and a lesser number of units when the Accumulation Unit value is
high.  Dollar cost averaging does not guarantee profits, nor does it assure that
a Policy Owner will not have losses.

     A Dollar Cost Averaging Request Form is available upon request.  To elect
the Dollar Cost Averaging Option, the Accumulated Value in the Variable Account
from which the Dollar Cost Averaging transfers will be made must be at least
$5,000.  After we have received a Dollar Cost Averaging Request in proper form
at our Home Office, we will transfer Accumulated Value in amounts you designate
from the Variable Account from which transfers are to be made to the Variable
Account or Accounts you choose.  The minimum amount that may be transferred to
any one Variable Account is $50.  After the Free-Look Period, the first transfer
will be effected on your Policy's Monthly, Quarterly, Semi-Annual, or Annual
Anniversary, whichever corresponds to the period selected by you, on or next
following receipt at our Home Office of a Dollar Cost Averaging Request in
proper form.  Subsequent transfers will be effected on the following Monthly,
Quarterly, Semi-Annual, or Annual Anniversary for so long as you designate until
the total amount elected has been transferred, until Accumulated Value in the
Variable Account from which transfers are made has been depleted, or until your
Policy enters the grace period.  Amounts periodically transferred under this
option will

                                     - 16 -
<PAGE>
 
not be subject to any transfer charges that may be imposed by us in the future,
except as may be required by applicable law.

     You may instruct us at any time to terminate this option by written request
to our Home Office.  We may discontinue, modify, or suspend the Dollar Cost
Averaging Option at any time.

PORTFOLIO REBALANCING

     You may direct us to automatically re-set the percentage of your
Accumulated Value allocated to each Variable Account at a predetermined level.
This process is called portfolio rebalancing. (The Fixed Account is not
available for portfolio rebalancing.) Over time, the variations in each Variable
Account's investment results will shift the percentage allocations of your
Accumulated Value. The portfolio rebalancing feature will automatically transfer
your Accumulated Value among the Variable Accounts back to the preset
percentages. Rebalancing can be made quarterly, semi-annually or annually,
measured from your Policy Date ("frequency period"). Rebalancing may result in
transferring amounts from a Variable Account with relatively higher investment
performance to a Variable Account with relatively lower investment performance.

     You may initiate portfolio rebalancing by sending our Home Office a signed,
written request in good form or a properly completed Automatic Portfolio
Rebalancing form.  You must specify the frequency for rebalancing and a
beginning date.  The first rebalancing will usually occur on your Monthly
Payment Date that starts the frequency period you elected and that occurs on or
follows the beginning date you elected. If you stop portfolio rebalancing, you
must wait 30 days to begin again. Portfolio rebalancing cannot be used with the
Dollar Cost Averaging Option.

     We may modify, terminate or suspend the portfolio rebalancing feature at
any time.

TRANSFER OF ACCUMULATED VALUE

     Accumulated Value may be transferred among the Variable Accounts by the
Policy Owner upon proper written request to our Home Office. Transfers may not
be made until after the Free-Look Transfer Date if you reside in a state that
requires us to refund premiums if you exercise your Free-Look Right. Transfers
(other than transfers in connection with the Dollar Cost Averaging Option) may
be made by telephone if a properly completed Authorization For Telephone
Requests is on file at our Home Office. Currently, there are no limitations on
the number of transfers between Variable Accounts, no minimum amount required
for a transfer, nor any minimum amount required to be remaining in a given
Variable Account after a transfer (except as required under the Dollar Cost
Averaging Option). No transfer may be made if your Policy is in the grace period
and a payment required to avoid lapse is not paid. See "Lapse," page __. No

                                     - 17 -
<PAGE>
 
charges are currently imposed upon such transfers.  We reserve the right,
however, at a future date to limit the size of transfers and remaining balances,
to assess transfer charges, to limit the number and frequency of transfers, and
to impose other reasonable limits or suspend or discontinue telephone transfers.

     Accumulated Value may also be transferred after the Free-Look Transfer Date
from the Variable Accounts to the Fixed Account; however, such a transfer will
only be permitted in the Policy Month preceding your Policy Anniversary, except
that if you reside in Connecticut, Georgia, Maryland, North Carolina, or
Pennsylvania, you may make such a transfer at any time during the first 18
Policy Months.  Transfers from the Fixed Account to the Variable Accounts are
restricted as described in "The Fixed Account," page __.

DEATH BENEFIT

     When your Policy is issued, we will determine the initial amount of
insurance based on the instructions provided in the application.  That amount
will be shown on the specifications page of your Policy and is called the "Face
Amount." The minimum Face Amount at issuance of a Policy is $100,000.  We may
reduce the minimum Face Amount required at issuance under certain circumstances.

     For so long as your Policy remains in force, we will, upon proof of the
death of both Insureds, pay death benefit proceeds to a named Beneficiary.
Death benefit proceeds will consist of the death benefit under the Policy, plus
any insurance proceeds provided by Rider, reduced by any outstanding Policy Debt
(and, if in the grace period, any overdue charges).

     Each Policy Owner may select one of four death benefit options: Option A,
Option B, Option C, or Option D.  Generally, you designate the death benefit
option in your application.  If no option is designated, Option A will be
assumed by us to have been selected.  Subject to certain restrictions, you may
change the death benefit option selected to Option A or B.

     The death benefit upon the death of the Survivor will be equal to the death
benefit option selected or, if greater, the Guideline Minimum Death Benefit,
which is Accumulated Value (determined as of the end of the Valuation Period
during which the Survivor dies) multiplied by the Death Benefit Percentage.  The
Death Benefit Percentage varies according to the Age of the younger Insured and
will be at least equal to the cash value corridor in Section 7702 of the
Internal Revenue Code, which addresses the definition of a life insurance policy
for tax purposes. The Death Benefit Percentage is 250% for an Insured at Age 40
or under, and it declines for older Insureds.  A table showing the Death Benefit
Percentages is in Appendix C to this prospectus and in the Policy.  Under any
option, for so long as your Policy remains in force, the death benefit will
never be less than the Face Amount of your Policy and will

                                     - 18 -
<PAGE>
 
always be sufficient to qualify the Policy as life insurance under Section 7702
of the Internal Revenue Code.

     Option A.  Under Option A, the death benefit will be equal to the Face
Amount of your Policy.

     Option B.  Under Option B, the death benefit will be equal to the Face
Amount of your Policy plus the Accumulated Value.  The death benefit under
Option B will always vary as Accumulated Value varies.

     Option C.  Under Option C, the death benefit will be equal to the Face
Amount of your Policy plus the total premiums paid minus the sum of any partial
withdrawals taken and any other distribution of Accumulated Value.

     Option D.  Under Option D, the death benefit will be equal to the Face
Amount of the Policy multiplied by a Death Benefit Factor.  Death Benefit
Factors for Joint Equal Ages and Policy years, each at 5 year intervals, are
shown in Appendix D; a complete chart is contained in your Policy.  Generally,
the Death Benefit Factor is a number from 1.0 to 2.0. The factor that applies to
a Policy varies with the Joint Equal Age of the Insureds and the number of
completed Policy Years, and changes on each Policy Anniversary.  Generally, the
Death Benefit Factor will reach the maximum of 2.0 when the sum of the Joint
Equal Age and the number of completed Policy Years is between 85 and 90, so that
the minimum death benefit at that time would be equal to twice the amount of the
Face Amount.

     Choosing Among the Options.  Options A through D are intended to provide
flexibility in the amount of insurance protection provided under a Policy.
Option A provides for the smallest amount of insurance protection, in that the
death benefit is equal to the Face Amount (assuming that the Guideline Minimum
Death Benefit is not greater than the Face Amount).  Under this option,
favorable investment performance will be reflected in increasing Accumulated
Value rather than insurance protection.  Options B and C provide for a greater
degree of insurance protection, in that the death benefit under Option B
includes Accumulated Value, and the benefit under Option C includes the amount
of premiums paid minus withdrawals and any other distributions of Accumulated
Value. As between Options B and C, the death benefit under Option B will reflect
the value of growth in Accumulated Value due to performance, and Option C will
not (assuming that Guideline Minimum Death Benefit is not greater than the death
benefit otherwise determined).  Option D provides some assurance that the death
benefit will increase gradually over time without regard to the investment
performance of the Investment Options.

     Examples of Death Benefit Options.  The following examples demonstrate the
determination of death benefits under Options A through D.  The examples show
eight hypothetical Policies, each with a Face Amount of $1,000,000 and where the
two Insureds are male and female nonsmokers, each Age 45 at the time of issue,
and assuming that there is

                                     - 19 -
<PAGE>
 
no outstanding Policy Debt, that no withdrawals have been taken, and the other
assumptions shown below.  (The examples are intended to portray differences in
death benefits; Accumulated Value assumptions may not be realistic.)

The death benefit shown in these examples is based upon the Guideline Minimum
Death Benefit for the following examples; Policy II, Option A; Policy III,
Options A and D; Policy IV, Options A, C, and D; Policy VII, Option A; and
Policy VIII, Options A and C.

     If the death benefit is equal to the Guideline Minimum Death Benefit, we
reserve the right to reduce the death benefit by requiring Partial Withdrawals
be made in order to maintain the net amount at risk at a level that will not
exceed three times the death benefit on the Policy Date.

     The Policy is intended to qualify as a life insurance contract under the
Internal Revenue Code for Federal tax purposes, and the death benefit under the
Policy is intended to qualify for the income tax exclusion under the Internal
Revenue Code.  Unless otherwise specified by you in writing, it is intended that
the Policy will not be treated as a modified endowment contract under the
Internal Revenue Code.  To these ends, the provisions of the Policy, including
any other Rider, Benefit, or endorsement, are to be interpreted to ensure such
tax qualification and to prevent the Policy from being treated as a modified
endowment contract, notwithstanding any other provisions to the contrary.

                                     - 20 -
<PAGE>
 
     If at any time the premiums paid under your policy exceed the amount
allowable for such tax qualification, such excess amount shall be removed from
the Policy as of the date of its payment, and any appropriate adjustment in the
death benefit shall be made as of such date.  The excess amount shall be
refunded to you no later than 60 days after the end of the applicable Policy
Year. The excess amount removed from the Policy and refunded to you may be
adjusted for interest or for changes in Accumulated Value attributable to the
excess amount. If for some reason this excess amount is not refunded by then,
the death benefit under this Policy shall be increased retroactively and
prospectively so that at no time is the death benefit ever less than the amount
needed to ensure such tax qualification. To the extent that the death benefit as
of any time is increased by this provision, appropriate adjustments shall be
made retroactively in any cost of insurance or supplemental benefits as of that
time that are consistent with such an increase.

     If at any time the premiums or other amounts paid under the Policy exceed
the limit for avoiding modified endowment contract treatment, and you have not
specified in writing that such treatment is acceptable to you, such excess
amount shall be removed from the Policy as of the date of its payment, and any
appropriate adjustment in the Policy's death benefit shall be made as of such
date.  This excess amount shall be refunded to you no later than 60 days after
the end of the applicable Policy Year.  The excess amount removed from the
Policy and refunded to you may be adjusted for interest or for changes in
Accumulated Value attributable to the excess amount.  If this excess amount is
not refunded by then, the death benefit under your Policy shall be increased
retroactively and prospectively to the minimum amount necessary so that at no
time is the death benefit ever less than the amount needed to avoid modified
endowment contract treatment. To the extent the death benefit as of any time is
increased by this provision, appropriate adjustments shall be made,
retroactively or otherwise, in any cost of insurance or supplemental benefits as
of that time that are consistent with such an increase.
 
     All calculations of death benefit will be made as of the end of the
Valuation Period during which the Survivor dies.  We will pay interest on death
benefit proceeds from the date of the Survivor's death to the date of payment at
an annual rate of not less than 4% or if higher, the interest rate required by
applicable state law. Death benefit proceeds may be paid to the Beneficiary in a
lump sum or under a payment plan offered under the Policy. Your Policy should be
consulted for details.

CHANGES IN DEATH BENEFIT OPTION

     After the fifth Policy Year, you may request that the death benefit option
under your Policy be changed to Option A or B.  Changes to Option C or D will
not be available. Changes in the death benefit option may be made only once per
Policy Year and should be made in writing to our Home Office.  The effective
date of any such change shall be the next Monthly

                                     - 21 -
<PAGE>
 
Payment Date on or next following the date we receive your written request at
our Home Office.

     A change in the death benefit under a Policy will result in a change in the
Face Amount of the Policy so that the death benefit under the new death benefit
option will equal the death benefit under the former option immediately prior to
the change.  From that point on, the change in option will affect the
determination of the death benefit.  In addition, a change in death benefit
option may affect the monthly cost of insurance charge since this charge varies
with the net amount at risk, which generally is the amount by which the death
benefit exceeds Accumulated Value.  A change will not be permitted if it would
result in a Face Amount of less than $100,000, although we reserve the right to
waive this minimum under certain circumstances.

     Unless otherwise specified by you in writing, any request for a death
benefit option change will not be accepted by us if the option change would
cause your Policy to be treated as a modified endowment contract.

DECREASE IN FACE AMOUNT

     You may request a decrease in the Face Amount under your Policy subject to
approval from us.  A decrease in Face Amount may only be made once per Policy
Year and only after the first Policy Year.  Decreasing the Face Amount could
decrease the death benefit.  The amount of change in the death benefit will
depend, among other things, upon the death benefit option chosen by you and
whether, and the degree to which, the death benefit under your Policy exceeds
the Face Amount prior to the change.  Changing the Face Amount could affect the
subsequent level of the death benefit while your Policy is in force and the
subsequent level of Policy values.  A decrease in Face Amount may decrease the
net amount at risk, which may decrease your cost of insurance charge.

     Any request for a decrease in Face Amount must be made by written
application to our Home Office.  It will become effective on the Monthly Payment
Date on or next following the date we receive your written request at our Home
Office.

     A decrease will not be permitted if the Face Amount would fall below
$100,000, although we reserve the right to waive the minimum Face Amount under
certain circumstances, such as for group or sponsored arrangements. A decrease
in Face Amount during the first ten Policy Years will result in surrender
charges being deducted from the Accumulated Value.  See "Surrender Charges,"
page __.  If a decrease in the Face Amount would result in total premiums paid
exceeding the premium limitations prescribed under tax law to qualify your
Policy as a life insurance contract, we may refund to you the amount of such
excess above the premium limitations.

                                     - 22 -
<PAGE>
 
     We reserve the right to disallow a requested decrease, and will not permit
a requested decrease, among other reasons, (1) if compliance with the guideline
premium limitations under tax law resulting from the requested decrease would
result in immediate termination of your Policy, (2) if, to effect the requested
decrease, payments to you would have to be made from Accumulated Value for
compliance with the guideline premium limitations, and the amount of such
payments would exceed the Net Cash Surrender Value under your Policy, or (3) if
the decrease would cause your Policy to be treated as a modified endowment
contract and you have not specified in writing that such treatment is acceptable
to you.

POLICY VALUES

     Accumulated Value.  The Accumulated Value is the sum of the amounts under
the Policy held in each Investment Option, as well as the amount set aside in
our Loan Account to secure any Policy Debt.

     On each Valuation Date, the portion of your Accumulated Value allocated to
any particular Variable Account will be adjusted to reflect the investment
experience of that Variable Account.  On each Monthly Payment Date, the portion
of the Accumulated Value allocated to a particular Investment Option also will
be adjusted to reflect the assessment of the monthly deduction.  See
"Determination of Accumulated Value," page __.  No minimum amount of Accumulated
Value is guaranteed. You bear the risk for the investment experience of
Accumulated Value allocated to the Variable Accounts.

     Cash Surrender Value.  The Cash Surrender Value of your Policy equals the
Accumulated Value less the surrender charge.  Thus, the Accumulated Value will
exceed your Policy's Cash Surrender Value by the amount of the surrender charge.
Once the surrender charge has expired, the Accumulated Value will equal the Cash
Surrender Value.

     Net Cash Surrender Value.  The Net Cash Surrender Value of your Policy
equals the Cash Surrender Value less any outstanding Policy Debt. You can
surrender your Policy at any time while either Insured is living and receive its
Net Cash Surrender Value.  See "Surrender," page __.

DETERMINATION OF ACCUMULATED VALUE

     Although the death benefit under your Policy can never be less than the
Policy's Face Amount, your Accumulated Value will vary to a degree that depends
upon several factors, including investment performance of the Variable Accounts
to which Accumulated Value has been allocated, payment of premiums, the amount
of any outstanding Policy Debt, Partial Withdrawals, and the charges assessed in
connection with your Policy. There is no guaranteed minimum Accumulated Value,
and you bear the entire investment risk relating to the investment performance
of Accumulated Value allocated to the Variable Accounts.

                                     - 23 -
<PAGE>
 
     The amounts allocated to the Variable Accounts will be invested in shares
of the corresponding Portfolio of the Fund.  The investment performance of the
Variable Accounts will reflect increases or decreases in the net asset value per
share of the corresponding Portfolio and any dividends or distributions declared
by a Portfolio.  Any dividends or distributions from any Portfolio of the Fund
will be automatically reinvested in shares of the same Portfolio, unless we, on
behalf of the Separate Account, elect otherwise.

     Assets in the Variable Accounts are divided into accumulation units, which
are a measure of value used for bookkeeping purposes.  When you allocate net
premiums to a Variable Account, the Policy is credited with accumulation units.
In addition, other transactions including loans, a surrender, Partial
Withdrawals, transfers, and assessment of charges against your Policy affect the
number of accumulation units credited to your Policy.  The number of units
credited or debited in connection with any such transaction is determined by
dividing the dollar amount of such transaction by the unit value of the affected
Variable Account.  The unit value of each Variable Account is determined on each
Valuation Date.  The number of units credited will not change because of
subsequent changes in unit value.

     The accumulation unit value of each Variable Account's unit initially was
$10.  The unit value of a Variable Account on any Valuation Date is calculated
by adjusting the unit value from the previous Valuation Date for (1) the
investment performance of the Variable Account, which is based upon the
investment performance of the corresponding Portfolio of the Fund, (2) any
dividends or distributions paid by the corresponding Portfolio, and (3) the
charges, if any, that may be assessed by us for income taxes attributable to the
operation of the Variable Account.

POLICY LOANS

     You may borrow money from us using your Policy as the only security for the
loan by submitting a proper written request to our Home Office. We may in our
discretion permit loans to be made by telephone if a properly completed
Authorization For Telephone Requests has been filed at our Home Office.  A loan
may be taken any time your Policy is in force.  The minimum loan that can be
taken at any time is $500.  The maximum amount that can be borrowed at any time
is the greater of (1) 100% of your Accumulated Value in the Fixed Account plus
90% of your Accumulated Value in the Variable Accounts, less any surrender
charges that would have been imposed if the Policy were surrendered on the date
the loan is taken, or (2) 100% of the product of (a X b/c - d) where (a) equals
the Policy's Accumulated Value less any surrender charge that would be imposed
if the Policy were surrendered on the date the loan is taken and less 12 times
the current monthly deduction; (b) equals 1 plus the annual loan interest rate
credited; (c) equals 1 plus the annual loan interest rate currently charged; and
(d) equals any existing Policy Debt.

                                     - 24 -
<PAGE>
 
     When you take a loan, an amount equal to the loan is transferred out of
your Accumulated Value in the Investment Options into the Loan Account to secure
the loan.  Unless you request otherwise, loan amounts will be deducted from the
Investment Options in the proportion that each bears to your Accumulated Value
less Policy Debt.

     The Policy loan interest rate is 4.50% for years one through ten, and 4.25%
thereafter.  We will credit interest monthly on amounts held in the Loan Account
to secure the loan at an annual effective rate of 4.00%.

     You may repay all or part of the loan at any time while your Policy is in
force.  Interest on a loan is accrued daily and is due for the prior year on
each Policy Anniversary.  If interest is not paid when due, it will be added to
the amount of the loan principal and interest will begin accruing thereon from
that date.  An amount equal to the loan interest charged will be transferred to
the Loan Account from the Investment Options on a proportional basis.

     Unless you request otherwise, any loan repayment will be transferred into
the Investment Options in accordance with the most recent premium allocation
instructions.  In addition, on each Policy Anniversary any interest earned on
the loan balance held in the Loan Account will be transferred to each of the
Investment Options in accordance with  your most recent premium allocation
instructions.  Any payment we receive from you while you have a loan outstanding
will be first considered a premium payment, unless you tell us in writing it is
a loan repayment.

     While the amount to secure the loan is held in the Loan Account, you forgo
the investment experience of the Variable Accounts and the current interest rate
of the Fixed Account on the loaned amount.  Thus a loan, whether or not repaid,
will have a permanent effect on your Policy's values and might have an effect on
the amount and duration of the death benefit.  If not repaid, the Policy Debt
will be deducted from the amount of death benefit upon the death of the
Survivor, the Cash Surrender Value upon surrender, or the refund of premium upon
exercise of the Free-Look Right.
 
     A loan may affect the length of time your Policy remains in force. Your
Policy will lapse when Accumulated Value minus Policy Debt is insufficient to
cover the monthly deduction against your Policy's Accumulated Value on any
Monthly Payment Date and the minimum payment required is not made during the
grace period.  Moreover, your Policy may enter the grace period more quickly
when a loan is outstanding, because the loaned amount is not available to cover
the monthly deduction. Additional payments or repayment of a portion of Policy
Debt may be required to keep your Policy in force.  See "Lapse," page __.

     A loan will not be treated as a distribution from your Policy and will not
result in taxable income to you unless your Policy is a modified

                                     - 25 -
<PAGE>
 
endowment contract, in which case a loan will be treated as a distribution that
may give rise to taxable income.

     For information on the tax treatment of loans, see "Federal Income Tax
Considerations," page __.

SURRENDER

     You may fully surrender your Policy at any time during the life of either
Insured.  The amount received in the event of a full surrender is your Policy's
Net Cash Surrender Value, which is equal to its Accumulated Value less any
applicable surrender charge and less any outstanding Policy Debt.

     You may surrender your Policy by sending a written request together with
your Policy to our Home Office.  The proceeds will be determined as of the end
of the Valuation Period during which the request for a surrender is received.
You may elect to have the proceeds paid in cash or applied under a payment plan
offered under the Policy.  See "Payment Plan," page __.  For information on the
tax effects of a surrender of a Policy, see "Federal Income Tax Considerations,"
page __.

PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS

     A Policy Owner may make Partial Withdrawals of Net Cash Surrender Value
starting on the first Policy Anniversary. The portion of the first Partial
Withdrawal in each of the first 15 Policy Years of up to the lesser of $10,000
or 10% of the Cash Surrender Value will not reduce the Face Amount under your
Policy.  The excess of any Partial Withdrawal over this amount may cause a
reduction in Face Amount if the death benefit option is Option A or D, as
described below.

     Partial Withdrawals must be for at least $500, and your Policy's Net Cash
Surrender Value after the withdrawal must be at least $500.  If there is any
Policy Debt, the maximum Partial Withdrawal is limited to the excess, if any, of
your Cash Surrender Value immediately prior to the withdrawal over the result of
the Policy Debt divided by 90%.  If you do not make a Partial Withdrawal during
one of the first 15 Policy Years, the amount that you could have withdrawn
without affecting Face Amount does not carry over in the following year.

     You may make a Partial Withdrawal by submitting a proper written request to
our Home Office.  As of the effective date of any withdrawal, your Accumulated
Value, Cash Surrender Value, and Net Cash Surrender Value will be reduced by the
amount of the withdrawal.  The amount of the withdrawal will be allocated
proportionately to your Accumulated Value in the Investment Options unless you
request otherwise.  If the Survivor dies after the request for a withdrawal is
sent to us and prior to the withdrawal being effected, the amount of the
withdrawal will be deducted from the death benefit proceeds, which will be
determined without taking

                                     - 26 -
<PAGE>
 
into account the withdrawal.  A withdrawal fee of $25 will be charged for a
Partial Withdrawal.  (See "Charges and Deductions".)

     Except as noted above, when a Partial Withdrawal is made on a Policy on
which you have selected death benefit Option A or D, the Face Amount under your
Policy is decreased by the excess, if any, of the Face Amount over the result of
the death benefit immediately prior to the Partial Withdrawal minus the amount
of the Partial Withdrawal.  A Partial Withdrawal will not change the Face Amount
of your Policy if you have selected death benefit Option B or C.  However,
assuming that the death benefit is not equal to the Guideline Minimum Death
Benefit, the Partial Withdrawal will reduce the death benefit by the amount of
the Partial Withdrawal.  To the extent the death benefit is the Guideline
Minimum Death Benefit to the Insureds, a Partial Withdrawal may cause the death
benefit to decrease by an amount greater than the amount of the Partial
Withdrawal.  See "Death Benefit," page __.

     Unless otherwise specified by you in writing, no Partial Withdrawal request
will be accepted by us if the Partial Withdrawal would cause your Policy to be
treated as a modified endowment contract.

     For information on the tax treatment of Partial Withdrawals, see "Federal
Income Tax Considerations," page __.

RIGHT TO EXAMINE A POLICY--FREE-LOOK RIGHT

     You have a Free-Look Right, under which your Policy may be returned within
10 days after you receive it (30 days if you are a resident of California and
are age 60 or older), within 10 days after we mail or deliver a notice of the
right of withdrawal, or within 45 days after you complete the application for
insurance, whichever is later.  It can be mailed or delivered to us or our
agent.  The returned Policy will be treated as if we never issued it, except as
indicated below, and we will refund any charges deducted from premiums received,
any net premium allocated to the Fixed Account, plus the sum of your Accumulated
Value allocated to the Variable Accounts plus any Policy Charges and Fees
deducted from your Accumulated Value in the Variable Accounts.  If you reside in
a state that requires us to return premium payments to Policy Owners who
exercise the Free-Look Right, we will refund the amount of the premium paid.  If
you have taken a loan during the Free-Look Period, the Policy Debt will be
deducted from the amount refunded.  When the application is approved and the
Policy is issued, net premiums will be allocated according to your instructions,
unless the Policy is sold to a resident of a state that requires a refund of
premium, in which case, until the Free-Look Transfer Date, net premiums received
by us will be allocated to the Money Market Variable Account (except for amounts
allocated to the Loan Account to secure a Policy loan).  See "Allocation of Net
Premiums," page __.

                                     - 27 -

LAPSE

     Your Policy will remain in force until the earliest of the death of the
Survivor or a full surrender of your Policy, unless before either of these
events, Accumulated Value less Policy Debt is insufficient to pay the current
monthly deduction on a Monthly Payment Date and a grace period expires without
sufficient additional premium payment or loan repayment by your Policy Owner.
If your Accumulated Value less Policy Debt is insufficient to cover the current
monthly deduction on a Monthly Payment Date, you must pay during the grace
period a minimum of three times the full monthly deduction due on the Monthly
Payment Date when the insufficiency occurred to avoid termination of your
Policy.  We will not accept any payment if it would cause your total premium
payments to exceed the maximum permissible premium for your Policy's Face Amount
under the Internal Revenue Code. This is unlikely to occur unless you have
outstanding Policy Debt, in which case you could repay a sufficient portion of
the Policy Debt to avoid termination. In this instance, you may wish to repay a
portion of Policy Debt to avoid recurrence of the potential lapse. If premium
payments have not exceeded the maximum permissible premiums for your Policy's
Face Amount, you may wish to make larger or more frequent premium payments to
avoid recurrence of the potential lapse.

     If your Accumulated Value less Policy Debt is insufficient to cover the
monthly deduction on a Monthly Payment Date, we will deduct the amount that is
available.  We will notify you (and any assignee of record) of the payment
required to keep your Policy in force.  You will then have a "grace period" of
61 days, measured from the date the notice is sent, to make the required
payment.  Your Policy will remain in force through the grace period.  Failure to
make the required payment within the grace period will result in termination of
coverage under your Policy, and your Policy will lapse with no value.  If the
required payment is made during the grace period, any premium paid will be
allocated among the Investment Options in accordance with your current premium
allocation instructions.  Any monthly deduction due will be charged to the
Investment Options on a proportionate basis.  If the Survivor dies during the
grace period, the death benefit proceeds will equal the amount of the death
benefit immediately prior to the commencement of the grace period, reduced by
any unpaid monthly deductions and any Policy Debt.

REINSTATEMENT

     We will reinstate a lapsed Policy (but not a Policy which has been
surrendered for its Net Cash Surrender Value) at any time within five years
after the end of the grace period provided we receive the following: (1) a
written application from the Policy Owner; (2) evidence of insurability
satisfactory to us for each Insured; and (3) payment of all monthly deductions
that were due and unpaid during the grace period, and payment of a premium at
least sufficient to keep the Policy in force for three months after the date of
reinstatement.

                                     - 28 -
<PAGE>
 
     When your Policy is reinstated, the Accumulated Value will be equal to your
Accumulated Value on the date of the lapse subject to the following:  If your
Policy is reinstated after the first Monthly Payment Date following lapse, the
Accumulated Value will be reduced by the amount of Policy Debt on the date of
lapse and no Policy Debt will exist on the date of the reinstatement.  If your
Policy is reinstated on the Monthly Payment Date next following lapse, any
Policy Debt on the date of lapse will also be reinstated.  No interest on
amounts held in our Loan Account to secure Policy Debt will be paid or credited
between lapse and reinstatement.  Reinstatement will be effective as of the
Monthly Payment Date on or next following the date of approval by us, and
Accumulated Value minus, if applicable, Policy Debt will be allocated among the
Investment Options in accordance with your most recent premium allocation
instructions.

                             CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS

PREMIUM LOAD

     A premium load is deducted from each premium payment under a Policy prior
to allocation of the net premium to the Policy Owner's Accumulated Value.  The
premium load consists of the following items:

     Sales Load.  The sales load is equal to 5% of each premium paid during the
first ten Policy Years and 3% of each premium paid thereafter.

     The sales load is deducted to compensate us for the cost of distributing
the Policies.  The amount derived by us from the sales load is not expected to
be sufficient to cover the sales and distribution expenses in connection with
the Policies.  If surrendered within 10 years after issuance, the Policy will
also be subject to a sales  surrender charge, which is described on page __. To
the extent that sales and distribution expenses exceed sales loads and any
amounts derived from the sales surrender charge, such expenses may be recovered
from other charges, including amounts derived from the charge for mortality and
expense risks and from mortality gains.

     We may reduce or waive the sales load on Policies sold to our directors or
employees or any of our affiliates or to trustees or any employees of the Fund.

     State and Local Premium Tax Charge.  A charge equal to 2.35% is assessed
against each premium to pay applicable state and local premium taxes.  Premium
taxes vary from state to state, and in some instances, among municipalities.
The 2.35% rate approximates the average tax rate expected to be paid on premiums
from all states. We reserve the right to change the premium tax charge to
reflect any changes in the law.

                                     - 29 -
<PAGE>
 
          Federal Tax Charge.  A charge equal to 1.50% is assessed against each
premium to pay applicable Federal Tax.  We reserve the right to change the
Federal Tax charge to reflect any changes in the law.

DEDUCTIONS FROM ACCUMULATED VALUE

     A charge called the monthly deduction is deducted from a Policy's
Accumulated Value in the Investment Options beginning on the Monthly Payment
Date on or next following the date we first become obligated under the Policy
and on each Monthly Payment Date thereafter.  The monthly deduction consists of
the following items:

     Cost of Insurance.  This monthly charge compensates us for the anticipated
cost of paying death benefits in excess of Accumulated Value to Beneficiaries of
joint Insureds who die.  The amount of the charge is equal to a current cost of
insurance rate multiplied by the net amount at risk under a Policy at the
beginning of the Policy Month.  We may use any profit we derive from this charge
for any lawful purpose, including the cost of claims processing and
investigation.  The net amount at risk for these purposes is equal to the amount
of death benefit payable at the beginning of the Policy Month divided by
1.00327374 (a discount factor to account for return deemed to be earned during
the month) less the Accumulated Value at the beginning of the Policy Month.

     Each Policy contains guaranteed cost of insurance rates that may not be
increased.  The guaranteed rates are intended to reflect the insurance risk
associated with joint Insureds.  They are based on certain of the 1980
Commissioners Standard Ordinary Mortality Tables (and where unisex cost of
insurance rates apply, the 1980 Commissioners Ordinary Mortality Table B), and
the Ages, gender (where permissible), and underwriting classes of the Insureds.
As of the date of this prospectus, we charge "current rates" that are lower
(i.e., less expensive) than the guaranteed rates, and we may also charge current
 ---                                                                            
rates in the future.  Like the guaranteed rates, the current rates also vary
with the Ages, gender (where permissible), and underwriting classes of the
Insureds.  They also vary with the number of completed Policy Years.  The cost
of insurance rates generally increase with the Ages of the Insureds.

     Administrative Charge.  A monthly administrative charge is deducted equal
to $16 in each of the first 60 Policy Months and $6 per month thereafter.  The
administrative charge is assessed to reimburse us for the expenses associated
with administration and maintenance of the Policies.  The administrative charge
is guaranteed never to exceed $16 during the first 60 Policy Months and $6 per
month thereafter. We do not expect to profit from this charge.

     The monthly administrative charges will be waived on the second or
subsequent Policies acquired by you on the lives of the Insureds who are the
same Insureds as on your initial Policy, and that Policy is in force.

                                     - 30 -
<PAGE>
 
However, we deduct $200 from the initial premium to cover processing costs.

     Mortality and Expense Risk Charge.  A monthly charge is deducted for
mortality and expense risks assumed by us.  The mortality and expense risk
charge consists of two components:  a Face Amount Component and an Accumulated
Value Component.

     During the first ten Policy Years, the Face Amount Component will be
assessed at a rate determined with reference to the initial Face Amount of the
Policy.  The rate will be equal to a Face Amount Component Factor per $1,000 of
initial Face Amount.  Face Amount Component Factors are shown in Appendix B, and
they are based upon the Joint Equal Age of the Insureds at the Policy Date.  For
example, for a Policy where the Joint Equal Age attributable to the Insureds is
50 on the Policy Date, and where the Face Amount is $100,000, the Face Amount
Component Factor would be 0.102, and the monthly Face Amount Component for the
first ten Policy Years would be $10.20.  This component is not assessed after
the tenth Policy Year.

     In addition, a monthly Accumulated Value Component is assessed at an annual
rate equal to .30% of Accumulated Value during the first twenty Policy Years and
 .10% of Accumulated Value thereafter.  For purposes of this component, the
Accumulated Value is based upon its value on the Monthly Payment Date after the
deduction of the cost of insurance charge and charges for any optional insurance
Riders or Benefits added.

     The mortality and expense risk charge is assessed to compensate us for
assuming certain mortality and expense risks under the Policies.  The mortality
risk assumed is that Insureds, as a group, may live for a shorter period of time
than estimated and, therefore, the cost of insurance charges specified in the
Policy will be insufficient to meet actual claims.  The expense risk assumed is
that other expenses incurred in issuing and administering the Policies and
operating the Separate Account will be greater than the charges assessed for
such expenses.  We will realize a gain from this charge to the extent it is not
needed to provide the mortality benefits and expenses under the Policies, and
will realize a loss to the extent the charge is not sufficient.  We may use any
profit derived from this charge for any lawful purpose, including any
distribution expenses not covered by the sales load or sales surrender charge.
See "Surrender Charge," below.

     Optional Insurance Benefits Charges.  The monthly deduction will include
charges for any optional insurance Riders or Benefits added to the Policy.  See
"Optional Insurance Benefits," page __.

SURRENDER CHARGE

     We will assess a Surrender Charge against Accumulated Value upon surrender
of a Policy within ten years after its issuance.  The Surrender

                                     - 31 -
<PAGE>
 
Charge consists of two charges:  an underwriting surrender charge and a sales
surrender charge.

     Underwriting Surrender Charge.  The underwriting surrender charge will be
assessed at a rate determined with reference to the Joint Equal Age of the
Insureds on the Policy Date for each $1,000 of a Policy's initial Face Amount in
accordance with the schedule shown in Appendix A:

The amount of the charge remains level for the first Policy Year.  After the
first Policy Anniversary, the charge decreases by 0.9259% per month until it
reaches zero at the end of the 120th Policy Month.

     The charge is based upon the Joint Equal Age of the Insureds and the Face
Amount on the Policy Date, and it does not increase as the Insureds get older or
with increases in the Face Amount.  For example, if Insureds of Joint Equal Age
50 purchase a Policy with an initial Face Amount of $100,000 and surrender the
Policy at the end of the third Policy Year, the underwriting surrender charge
would be $404.45.

     The underwriting surrender charge is designed to cover the administrative
expenses associated with underwriting and issuing a Policy, including the costs
of processing applications, conducting medical examinations, determining
insurability and the Insureds' underwriting class, and establishing policy
records.  We do not expect to profit from the underwriting surrender charge.

     Sales Surrender Charge. During the first Policy Year, the sales surrender
charge is equal to 25% of the lesser of the premiums paid under the Policy or of
the Sales Surrender Target. The Sales Surrender Target is equal to a specified
amount that varies with the Joint Equal Age of the Insureds for each $1000 of a
Policy's initial Face Amount in accordance with a schedule shown in Appendix B.
After the first Policy Year, the charge as calculated above is adjusted by a
reduction factor. This reduction factor is equal to 99.0741% in the 13th Policy
Month and reduces by 0.9259% per month until it reaches zero at the end of the
120th Policy Month. The Sales Surrender Target does not increase as the Insureds
get older or with increases in the Face Amount due to a death benefit option
change.

     For example, if Insureds of Joint Equal Age 50 purchase a Policy with a
Face Amount of $100,000, the Sales Surrender Target, based upon the assumptions
described above, would be $905.  The maximum sales surrender charge during the
first Policy Year would be 25% of this amount, or $226.25.

     The purpose of the sales surrender charge is to reimburse us for some of
the expenses of distributing the Policies.

     We may reduce or waive the sales surrender charge on Policies sold to our
directors or employees or any of our affiliates or to trustees or any employees
of the Fund.

                                     - 32 -
<PAGE>
 
     A Surrender Charge (sales and underwriting) may also be deducted on a
decrease in Face Amount in an amount that reflects, as a fractional amount of
the total Surrender Charge that would be applied if the Policy were fully
surrendered, the amount of the decrease relative to the Face Amount immediately
prior to the decrease. Such a Surrender Charge will reduce the Accumulated Value
and will be allocated proportionately to the Accumulated Value in the Investment
Options. After the decrease, the total Surrender Charge is reduced. The new
total Surrender Charge will be determined by dividing the Face Amount after the
decrease by the Face Amount immediately prior to the decrease and multiplying
the result by the total Surrender Charge that would have applied based on the
Face Amount before the decrease.

WITHDRAWAL CHARGE

     A withdrawal fee of $25 will be deducted proportionately from the
Accumulated Value in the Investment Options each time a Partial Withdrawal
occurs.

CORPORATE PURCHASERS

     The Policy is available for individuals and for corporations and other
institutions. For corporations or other group or sponsored arrangements
purchasing one or more Policies, we may reduce the amount of the sales surrender
charge, underwriting surrender charge, or other charges where the expenses
associated with the sale of the Policy or Policies or the underwriting or other
administrative costs associated with the Policy or Policies are reduced. Sales,
underwriting or other administrative expenses may be reduced, for reasons such
as expected economies resulting from a corporate purchase or a group or 
sponsored arrangements, from the amount of the initial premium payment or
payments, or the amount of projected premium payments.

OTHER CHARGES

     We will bear the direct operating expenses of the Separate Account. Each
Variable Account available to you purchases shares of the corresponding
Portfolio of the underlying Fund.  The Fund and each of its Portfolios incur
certain charges, including the investment advisory fee, and certain operating
expenses. The Fund is governed by its Board of Trustees. The Fund's expenses are
not fixed or specified under the terms of the Policy and these expenses may vary
from year to year. The advisory fees and other expenses are more fully described
in the prospectus of the Fund.

GUARANTEE OF CERTAIN CHARGES

     We guarantee that certain charges will not increase.  This includes the
charge for mortality and expense risks, the administrative charge with respect
to the guaranteed rates described above, the premium load, the guaranteed cost
of insurance rates, and the surrender charge.

                               OTHER INFORMATION

FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

     The following discussion provides a general description of the federal
income tax considerations relating to the Policy.  This discussion is based upon
our understanding of the present federal income tax laws as they are currently
interpreted by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS").  This discussion is not
intended as tax advice.  Because of the inherent complexity of such laws and the
fact that tax results will vary according to the particular circumstances of the
individual involved, tax advice may be needed by a person contemplating the
purchase of the Policy.  It should, therefore, be understood that these comments
concerning federal income tax consequences are not an exhaustive discussion of
all tax questions that might arise under the Policy and that special rules which
are not discussed herein may apply in certain situations.  Moreover, no
representation is made as to the likelihood of continuation of federal income
tax or estate or gift tax laws or of the current interpretations by the IRS or
the courts.  Future legislation may adversely affect the tax treatment of life
insurance policies or other tax rules described in this discussion or that
relate directly or indirectly to life insurance policies.  Finally, these
comments do not take into account any state or local income tax considerations
which may be involved in the purchase of the Policy.

     While we believe that the Policy meets the statutory definition of life
insurance under Section 7702 of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") and hence will
receive federal income tax treatment consistent with that of traditional fixed
life insurance, the area of the tax law relating to the definition of life
insurance does not explicitly address all relevant issues (including, for
example, the treatment of substandard risk policies, policies with term
insurance on the Insureds, and certain tax requirements relating to joint
survivorship life insurance policies). We reserve the right to make changes to
the Policy if changes are deemed appropriate by us to attempt to assure
qualification of the Policy as a life insurance contract.  If a Policy were
determined not to qualify as life insurance, the Policy would not provide the
tax advantages normally provided by life insurance.  The discussion below
summarizes the tax treatment of life insurance contracts.

     The death benefit under a Policy should be excludable from the gross income
of the Beneficiary (whether the Beneficiary is a corporation, individual or
other entity) under IRC Section 101(a)(1) for purposes of the regular federal
income tax and you generally should not be deemed to be in constructive receipt
of the cash values, including increments thereof, under the Policy until a full
surrender thereof or a Partial Withdrawal.  In addition, certain Policy loans
may be taxable in the case of Policies that are modified endowment contracts.
Prospective Policy Owners that intend to use Policies to fund deferred
compensation arrangements for their employees are urged to consult their tax
advisors with respect to the tax consequences of such arrangements.  Prospective

                                     - 34 -
<PAGE>
 
corporate Owners should consult their tax advisors about the treatment of life
insurance in their particular circumstances for purposes of the alternative
minimum tax applicable to corporations and the environmental tax under IRC
Section 59A.  Changing the Policy Owner may also have tax consequences.
Exchanging a Policy for another involving the same Insureds generally will not
result in the recognition of gain or loss according to Section 1035(a) of the
IRC.  Changing the Insureds under a Policy will, however, not be treated as a
tax-free exchange under Section 1035, but rather as a taxable exchange.

     Diversification Requirements.  To comply with regulations under Section
817(h) of the IRC, each Portfolio of the Fund is required to diversify its
investments.  For details on these diversification requirements, see "What is
the Federal Income Tax Status of the Fund" in the Fund's prospectus.

     The IRS has stated in published rulings that a variable contract owner will
be considered the owner of separate account assets if the contract owner
possesses incidents of ownership in those assets, such as the ability to
exercise investment control over the assets.  In those circumstances, income and
gains from the separate account assets would be includable in the variable
policy owner's gross income.  The Treasury Department also announced, in
connection with the issuance of regulations concerning diversification, that
those regulations "do not provide guidance concerning the circumstances in which
investor control of the investments of a segregated asset account may cause the
investor [i.e., the Policy Owner], rather than the insurance company, to be
          ---                                                              
treated as the owner of the assets in the account."  This announcement also
stated the guidance would be issued by way of regulations or rulings on the
"extent to which policyholders may direct their investments to particular
subaccounts without being treated as owners of the underlying assets." As of the
date of this prospectus, no such guidance has been issued.

     The ownership rights under your Policy are similar to, but different in
certain respects from, those described by the IRS in rulings in which it was
determined that policy owners were not owners of separate account assets.  For
example, you have additional flexibility in allocating premium payments and
Policy values.  These differences could result in your being treated as the
owner of your Policy's pro rata portion of the assets of the Separate Account.
In addition, we do not know what standards will be set forth, if any, in the
regulations or ruling which the Treasury Department has stated it expects to
issue.  We therefore reserve the right to modify the Policy, as deemed
appropriate by us, to attempt to prevent you from being considered the owner of
your Policy's pro rata share of the assets of the Separate Account.  Moreover,
in the event that regulations are adopted or rulings are issued, there can be no
assurance that the Portfolios will be able to operate as currently described in
the Prospectus, or that the Fund will not have to change any Portfolio's
investment objective or investment policies.

     Tax Treatment of Policies. IRC Section 7702A defines a class  of life
insurance contracts referred to as modified endowment contracts. Under this 
provision, the Policies will be treated for tax purposes in one of two ways.
Policies that are not classified as modified endowment contracts will be taxed
as conventional life insurance contracts, as described below. Taxation of pre-
death distributions from Policies that are classified as modified endowment
contracts and that are entered into on or after June 21, 1988 is somewhat
different, as described below.

     A life insurance contract becomes a "modified endowment contract" if, at
any time during the first seven contract years, the sum of actual premiums paid
exceeds the sum of the "seven-pay premium."  Generally, the "seven-pay premium"
is the level annual premium, such that if paid for each of the first seven
years, will fully pay for all future death and endowment benefits under a life
insurance contract.  For example, if the "seven-pay premiums" were $1,000, the
maximum premiums that could be paid 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 and $3,000 through the first three years, etc.  Under this
test, a Select Estate Preserver Policy may or may not be a modified endowment
contract, depending on the amount of premiums paid during each of the Policy's
first seven contract years.  Changes in the Policy, including changes in death
benefits, may require "retesting" of a Policy to determine if it is to be
classified as a modified endowment contract.

     Conventional Life Insurance Policies.  If a Policy is not a modified
endowment contract, upon full surrender for its Net Cash Surrender Value, the
excess, if any, of the Net Cash Surrender Value plus any outstanding Policy Debt
over the cost basis under a Policy will be treated as ordinary income for
federal income tax purposes.  Such a Policy's cost basis will usually equal the
premiums paid less any premiums previously recovered in Partial Withdrawals.
Under IRC Section 7702, if a Partial Withdrawal occurring within 15 years of the
Policy Date is accompanied by a reduction in benefits under the Policy, special
rules apply to determine whether part or all of the cash received is paid out of
the income of the Policy and is taxable.  Cash distributed to a Policy Owner on
Partial Withdrawals occurring more than 15 years after the Policy Date will be
taxable as ordinary income to the Policy Owner to the extent that it exceeds the
cost basis under a Policy.

     We also believe that loans received under Policies that are not modified
endowment contracts will be treated as indebtedness of the Owner for Federal
income tax purposes, and that no part of any loan under the Policy will
constitute income to the Owner unless the Policy is surrendered or matures or
lapses. Consult with your tax advisor on whether interest paid (or accrued by an
accrual basis taxpayer) on a loan under a Policy that is not a modified
endowment contract may be deductible.

                                     - 36 -
<PAGE>
 
Tax law provisions may limit the deduction of interest payable on loan proceeds
that are used to purchase or carry certain life insurance policies.

     Modified Endowment Contracts.  Pre-death distributions from modified
endowment contracts may give rise to taxable income.  Upon full surrender or
maturity of the Policy, the Policy Owner would recognize ordinary income for
federal income tax purposes equal to the amount by which the Net Cash Surrender
Value plus Policy Debt exceeds the investment in the Policy (usually the
premiums paid plus certain pre-death distributions that were taxable less any
premiums previously recovered that were excludable from gross income).  Upon
Partial Withdrawals and Policy loans, the Policy Owner would recognize ordinary
income to the extent allocable to income (which includes all previously non-
taxed gains) on the Policy.  The amount allocated to income is the amount by
which the Accumulated Value of the Policy exceeds investment in the Policy
immediately before the distribution.  If two or more policies which are
classified as modified endowment contracts are purchased from any one insurance
company, including us, during any calendar year, all such policies will be
aggregated for purposes of determining the portion of the pre-death
distributions allocable to income on the policies and the portion allocable to
investment in the policies.

     Amounts received under a modified endowment contract that are included in
gross income are subject to an additional tax equal to 10% of the amount
included in gross income, unless an exception applies.  The 10% additional tax
does not apply to any amount received:  (I) when the taxpayer is at least 59
1/2 years old; (ii) which is attributable to the taxpayer becoming disabled; or
(iii) which is part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (not
less frequently than annually) made for the life (or life expectancy) of the
taxpayer or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the taxpayer and his
or her beneficiary.

     If a Policy was not originally a modified endowment contract but becomes
one, under Treasury Department regulations which are yet to be prescribed, pre-
death distributions received in anticipation of a failure of a Policy to meet
the seven-pay premium test are to be treated as pre-death distributions from a
modified endowment contract (and, therefore, are to be taxable as described
above) even though, at the time of the distribution(s) the Policy was not yet a
modified endowment contract.  For this purpose, pursuant to the IRC, any
distribution made

                                     - 37 -
<PAGE>
 
within two years before the Policy is classified as a modified endowment
contract shall be treated as being made in anticipation of the Policy's failing
to meet the seven-pay premium test.

     It is unclear whether interest paid (or accrued by an accrual basis
taxpayer) on Policy Debt with respect to a modified endowment contract
constitutes interest for federal income tax purposes. Consult your tax adviser.
Tax law provisions may limit the deduction of interest payable on loan proceeds
that are used to purchase or carry certain life insurance policies.

     Reasonableness Requirement for Charges.  Another provision of the tax law
deals with allowable charges for mortality costs and other expenses that are
used in making calculations to determine whether a contract qualifies as life
insurance for federal income 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 and is
expected to promulgate temporary or final regulations governing reasonableness
standards for mortality charges. Under the proposed regulations, the standards
applicable to joint survivor life insurance policies are not entirely clear.
While we believe under IRS pronouncements currently in effect that the mortality
costs and other expenses used in making calculations to determine whether the
Policy qualifies as life insurance meet the current requirements, complete
assurance cannot be given that the IRS would necessarily agree. It is possible
that future regulations will contain standards that would require us to modify
the mortality charges used for the purposes of the calculations in order to
retain the qualification of the Policy as life insurance for federal income tax
purposes, and we reserve the right to make any such modifications.

     Accelerated Living Benefits.  An Accelerated Living Benefit Rider is
available in connection with the Policy.  Benefits under the Accelerated Living
Benefit Rider may be taxable.  The Internal Revenue Service has issued proposed
regulations and is expected to issue final regulations in the near future under
which accelerated living benefits that meet the requirements set forth in the
regulations can be received without incurring a Federal income tax.  The precise
requirements which will be incorporated in the final regulations are not known.

                                     - 38 -
<PAGE>
 
     In some cases, there may be a question as to whether a life insurance
policy that has an accelerated living benefit rider can meet certain technical
aspects of the definition of "life insurance contract" under the Code.  The IRS
regulations mentioned above are expected to set forth the requirements under
which a policy with an accelerated living benefits rider will be deemed to meet
the definitional requirements of a life insurance contract.  Pacific Mutual
reserves the right to (but is not obligated to) modify the Rider to conform with
requirements under the final regulations.  Owners considering adding an
Accelerated Living Benefit Rider or exercising rights under the rider should
first consult a qualified tax advisor.

     Split Policy Option Rider. This Rider permits a Policy to be split into two
individual policies. A Policy split could have adverse tax consequences. For
example, a Policy split may be treated as a taxable exchange that would result
in the recognition of taxable income in an amount up to any gain in the Policy
at the time of the split. Owners considering adding a Split Policy Option Rider
or exercising rights under this Rider should first consult a qualified tax
adviser.

     Other.  Federal estate and gift and state and local estate, inheritance,
and other tax consequences of ownership or receipt of Policy proceeds depend on
the jurisdiction and the circumstances of each Owner or Beneficiary.

     For complete information on federal, state, local and other tax
considerations, a qualified tax adviser should be consulted.

     WE DO NOT MAKE ANY GUARANTEE REGARDING THE TAX STATUS OF ANY POLICY.

CHARGE FOR OUR INCOME TAXES

     For federal income tax purposes, variable life insurance generally is
treated in a manner consistent with traditional fixed life insurance. We will
review the question of the charge to the Separate Account for our federal income
taxes periodically.  A charge may be made for any federal income taxes incurred
by us that are attributable to the Separate Account or to our operations with
respect to the Policy.  A charge might become necessary if our tax treatment is
ultimately determined to be other than what we currently believe it to be, if
there are changes made in the federal income tax treatment of variable life
insurance at the insurance company level, or if there is a change in our tax
status.

     Under current laws, we may incur state and local taxes (in addition to
premium taxes) in several states.  At present, these taxes are not significant.
If there is a material change in applicable state or local tax laws, we reserve
the right to charge the Account for such taxes, if any, attributable to the
Account.

VOTING OF FUND SHARES

     In accordance with our view of present applicable law, we will exercise
voting rights attributable to the shares of each Portfolio of the Fund held in
the Variable Accounts at any regular and special meetings of the shareholders of
the Fund on matters requiring shareholder voting under the Investment Company
Act of 1940.  We will exercise these voting rights based on instructions
received from persons having the voting interest in corresponding Variable
Accounts of the Separate Account. However, if the Investment Company Act of 1940
or any

                                     - 39 -
<PAGE>
 
regulations thereunder should be amended, or if the present interpretation
thereof should change, and as a result we determine that we are permitted to
vote the shares of the Fund in our own right, we may elect to do so.

     You are the person having the voting interest under a Policy. Unless
otherwise required by applicable law, the number of votes as to which you will
have the right to instruct will be determined by dividing your Accumulated Value
in a Variable Account by the net asset value per share of the corresponding
Portfolio of the Fund.  Fractional votes will be counted.  The number of votes
as to which a Policy Owner will have the right to instruct will be determined as
of the date coincident with the date established by the Fund for determining
shareholders eligible to vote at the meeting of the Fund.  If required by the
SEC, we reserve the right to determine in a different fashion the voting rights
attributable to the shares of the Fund based upon the instructions received from
Policy Owners.  Voting instructions may be cast in person or by proxy.

     If there are shares of a Portfolio held by a Variable Account for which we
do not receive timely voting instructions, we will vote those shares in the same
proportion as all other shares of that Portfolio held by that Variable Account
for which we have received timely voting instructions.  If we hold shares of a
Portfolio in our General Account, we will vote those shares in the same
proportion as other votes cast by all of our separate accounts in the aggregate.

DISREGARD OF VOTING INSTRUCTIONS

     We may, when required by state insurance regulatory authorities, disregard
voting instructions if the instructions require that voting rights be exercised
so as to cause a change in the subclassification or investment objective of a
Portfolio or to approve or disapprove an investment advisory contract.  In
addition, we may disregard voting instructions of changes initiated by Policy
Owners in the investment policy or the investment adviser (or portfolio manager)
of a Portfolio, provided that our disapproval of the change is reasonable and is
based on a good faith determination that the change would be contrary to state
law or otherwise inappropriate, considering the Portfolio's objectives and
purpose, and considering the effect the change would have on us.  In the event
we do disregard voting instructions, a summary of that action and the reasons
for such action will be included in the next report to Policy Owners.

REPORT TO OWNERS

     A statement will be sent quarterly to you setting forth a summary of the
transactions which occurred during the Policy Quarter and indicating the death
benefit, Face Amount, Accumulated Value, Cash Surrender Value, and any Policy
Debt.  In addition, the statement will indicate the allocation of Accumulated
Value among the Investment Options

                                     - 40 -
<PAGE>
 
and any other information required by law.  Confirmations will be sent out upon
unscheduled premium payments and transfers, loans, loan repayments, withdrawals,
and surrenders. Confirmation of scheduled transactions under dollar cost
averaging and portfolio rebalancing will appear on your quarterly statement.
 
     You will also be sent annual financial statements for the Separate Account
and the Fund, the latter of which will include a list of the portfolio
securities of the Fund, as required by the Investment Company Act of 1940,
and/or such other reports as may be required by federal securities laws.

SUBSTITUTION OF INVESTMENTS

     We reserve the right, subject to compliance with the law as then in effect,
to make additions to, deletions from, or substitutions for the securities that
are held by the Separate Account or any Variable Account or that the Separate
Account or any Variable Account may purchase.  If shares of any or all of the
Portfolios of the Fund should no longer be available for investment, or if, in
the judgment of our management, further investment in shares of any or all
Portfolios of the Fund should become inappropriate in view of the purposes of
the Policies, we may substitute shares of another Portfolio of the Fund or of a
different fund for shares already purchased, or to be purchased in the future
under the Policies.

     Where required, we will not substitute any shares attributable to a Policy
Owner's interest in a Variable Account or the Separate Account without notice,
Policy Owner approval, or prior approval of the SEC and without following the
filing or other procedures established by applicable state insurance regulators.

     We also reserve the right to establish additional Variable Accounts of the
Separate Account, each of which would invest in a new Portfolio of the Fund, or
in shares of another investment company, a portfolio thereof, or suitable
investment vehicle, with a specified investment objective.  New Variable
Accounts may be established when, in our sole discretion, marketing needs or
investment conditions warrant, and any new Variable Accounts will be made
available to existing Policy Owners on a basis to be determined by us.  We may
also eliminate one or more Variable Accounts if, in our sole discretion,
marketing, tax, or investment conditions so warrant. We may also terminate and 
liquidate any Variable Account.

     In the event of any such substitution or change, we may, by appropriate
endorsement, make such changes in this and other policies as may be necessary or
appropriate to reflect such substitution or change. If deemed by us to be in the
best interests of persons having voting rights under the Policies, the Separate
Account may be operated as a management investment company under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 or any other form permitted by law, it may be deregistered
under that Act in the event such registration is no longer required, or it may
be

                                     - 41 -
<PAGE>
 
combined with other separate accounts of our or an affiliate of ours. Subject to
compliance with applicable law, we also may combine one or more Variable
Accounts and may establish a committee, board, or other group to manage one or
more aspects of the operation of the Separate Account.

CHANGES TO COMPLY WITH LAW

     We reserve the right to make any change without your consent to the
provisions of the 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 and modified endowment under the IRC, under
regulations of the United States Treasury Department or any state.

                            PERFORMANCE INFORMATION

     Performance information for the Variable Accounts of the Separate Account
may appear in advertisements, sales literature, or reports to Policy Owners or
prospective purchasers.  Performance information in advertisements or sales
literature may be expressed in any fashion permitted under applicable law, which
may include presentation of a change in a Policy Owner's Accumulated Value
attributable to the performance of one or more Variable Accounts, or as a change
in a Policy Owner's death benefit.  Performance quotations may be expressed as a
change in a Policy Owner's Accumulated Value over time or in terms of the
average annual compounded rate of return on the Policy Owner's Accumulated
Value, based upon a hypothetical Policy in which premiums have been allocated to
a particular Variable Account over certain periods of time that will include one
year or from the commencement of operation of the Variable Account.  If a
Portfolio has been in existence for a longer period of time than its
corresponding Variable Account, we may also present hypothetical returns that
the Variable Account would have achieved had it invested in its corresponding
Portfolio for periods through the commencement of operation of the Portfolio.
For the period that a particular Variable Account has been in existence, the
performance will be actual performance and not hypothetical in nature. Any such
quotation may reflect the deduction of all applicable charges to the Policy
including premium load, the cost of insurance, the administrative charge, and
the mortality and expense risk charge. The quotation may also reflect the
deduction of the surrender charge, if applicable, by assuming a surrender at the
end of the particular period, although other quotations may simultaneously be
given that do not assume a surrender and do not take into account deduction of
the surrender charge or other charges.

     Performance information for a Variable Account may be compared, in
advertisements, sales literature, and reports to Policy Owners, to:  (i) other
variable life separate accounts or investment products tracked by research
firms, ratings services, companies, publications, or persons who rank separate
accounts or investment products on overall performance or other criteria; and
(ii) the Consumer Price Index (measure for inflation)

                                     - 42 -
<PAGE>
 
to assess the real rate of return from the purchase of a Policy.  Reports and
promotional literature may also contain our rating or a rating of our claim-
paying ability as determined by firms that analyze and rate insurance companies
and by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations.

     Performance information for any Variable Account of the Separate Account
reflects only the performance of a hypothetical Policy whose Accumulated Value
is allocated to the Variable Account during a particular time period on which
the calculations are based.  Performance information should be considered in
light of 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 given period of time, and should not be considered as a
representation of what may be achieved in the future.

                               THE FIXED ACCOUNT

     You may allocate all or a portion of your net premium payments and transfer
Accumulated Value to our Fixed Account.  Amounts allocated to the Fixed Account
become part of our "General Account," which supports insurance and annuity
obligations.  Because of exemptive and exclusionary provisions, interests in the
Fixed Account have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, and the
Fixed Account has not been registered as an investment company under the
Investment Company Act of 1940. Accordingly, neither the Fixed Account nor any
interest therein is generally subject to the provisions of these Acts and, as a
result, the staff of the SEC has not reviewed the disclosure in this prospectus
relating to the Fixed Account.  Disclosures regarding the Fixed Account may,
however, be subject to certain generally applicable provisions of the federal
securities laws relating to the accuracy and completeness of statements made in
the prospectus.  For more details regarding the Fixed Account, see the Policy
itself.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

     Amounts allocated to the Fixed Account become part of our General Account,
which consists of all assets owned by us other than those in the Separate
Account and other separate accounts of ours.  Subject to applicable law, we have
sole discretion over the investment of the assets of our General Account.

     You may elect to allocate net premium payments to the Fixed Account, the
Separate Account, or both. You may also transfer Accumulated Value from the
Variable Accounts to the Fixed Account, or from the Fixed Account to the
Variable Accounts, subject to the limitations described below.  We guarantee
that the Accumulated Value in the Fixed Account will be credited with a minimum
interest rate of .32737% per month, compounded monthly, for a minimum effective
annual rate of 4%.  Such interest will be paid regardless of the actual
investment experience of the Fixed Account.  In addition, we may at our sole
discretion declare current interest in excess of the 4%, which will be
guaranteed for one year. (The portion of your Accumulated Value that has been
used to secure Policy Debt will be credited with an interest rate of .32737% per
month, compounded monthly, for an effective annual rate of 4%.)

     We bear the full investment risk for the Accumulated Value allocated to the
Fixed Account.

DEATH BENEFIT

     The death benefit under the Policy will be determined in the same fashion
for a Policy Owner who has Accumulated Value in the Fixed Account as for a
Policy Owner who has Accumulated Value in the Variable Accounts. See "Death
Benefit," page __.

POLICY CHARGES

  Policy charges will be the same whether you who allocate net premiums or
transfer Accumulated Value to the Fixed Account or  allocate net premiums to the
Variable Accounts.  These charges consist of the premium load, including the
sales load, state and local premium tax charge, and federal tax charge; the
deductions from Accumulated Value, including the charges for the cost of
insurance, administrative charge, mortality and expense risk charge, the charge
for any optional insurance benefits added by rider, any death benefit change
charge; the surrender charge; and the withdrawal charge.  Any amounts that we
pay for income taxes allocable to the Variable Accounts will not be charged
against the Fixed Account. In addition, the operating expenses of the Variable
Accounts, as well as the investment advisory fee charged by the Fund, will not
be paid directly or indirectly by you to the extent  your Accumulated Value is
allocated to the Fixed Account; however, to such extent, you will not
participate in the investment experience of the Variable Accounts.

TRANSFERS, SURRENDERS, WITHDRAWALS, AND POLICY LOANS

     Amounts may be transferred from the Variable Accounts to the Fixed Account
and from the Fixed Account to the Variable Accounts, subject to the following
limitations.  If you reside in states that require us to refund premiums to
Owners who return their Policies during the Free Look Period, you may not make
transfers until after the Free Look Transfer Date.  No transfer may be made if
the Policy is in a grace period and the required premium has not been paid.  You
may not make more than one transfer from the Fixed Account to the Variable
Accounts in any 12-month period.  Further, you may not transfer more than the
greater of 25% of your Accumulated Value in the Fixed Account or $5,000 in any
year. Currently there is no charge imposed upon transfers; however, we reserve
the right to assess such a charge in the future and to impose other limitations
on the number of transfers, the amount of transfers, and the amount remaining in
the Fixed Account or Variable Accounts after a transfer.  Transfers from the
Variable Accounts to the Fixed Account may be made in the Policy Month preceding
a Policy Anniversary, except that if you reside in Connecticut, Georgia,
Maryland, North Carolina, or Pennsylvania, you may make such a transfer at any
time during the first eighteen Policy Months.

     You may also make full surrenders and Partial Withdrawals from the Fixed
Account to the same extent as an Owner who has invested in the Variable
Accounts.  See "Surrender," page __, and "Partial Withdrawals," page __. You may
borrow up to the greater of (1) 90% of your Accumulated Value in the Variable
Accounts and 100% of your Accumulated Value in the Fixed Account, less any
surrender charges that would have been imposed if your Policy were surrendered
on the date the loan is taken, or (2) 100% of the product of (a X b/c -d) where
(a) equals the Policy's Accumulated Value less any surrender charge that would
be imposed if the Policy were surrendered on the date the loan is taken and less
12 times the current monthly deductions; (b) equals 1 plus the annual loan

                                     - 45 -
<PAGE>
 
interest rate credited; (c) equals 1 plus the annual loan rate currently
charged; and (d) equals any existing Policy Debt.  See "Policy Loans," page __.
Transfers, surrenders, and withdrawals payable from the Fixed Account, and the
payment of Policy loans allocated to the Fixed Account, may be delayed for up to
six months.

                             MORE ABOUT THE POLICY

OWNERSHIP

     The Policy Owner is the individual named as such in the application or in
any later change shown in our records.  While the Insureds are living, the
Policy Owner alone has the right to receive all benefits and exercise all rights
that the Policy grants or we allow.

     Joint Owners.  If more than one person is named as Policy Owner, they are
joint Owners.  Any Policy transaction requires the signature of all persons
named jointly.  Unless otherwise provided, if a joint Owner dies, ownership
passes to the surviving joint Owner(s).  When the last joint Owner dies,
ownership passes through that person's estate, unless otherwise provided.

BENEFICIARY

     The Beneficiary is the individual named as such in the application or any
later change shown in our records. You may change the Beneficiary at any time
during the life of either Insured by written request on forms provided by us,
which must be received by us at our Home Office.  The change will be effective
as of the date this form is signed.  Contingent and/or concurrent Beneficiaries
may be designated. You may designate a permanent Beneficiary, whose rights under
your Policy cannot be changed without his or her consent.  Unless otherwise
provided, if no designated Beneficiary is living upon the death of the Survivor,
you are the Beneficiary, if living; otherwise your estate is the Beneficiary.

     We will pay the death benefit proceeds to the Beneficiary.  Unless
otherwise provided, in order to receive proceeds at the Survivor's death, the
Beneficiary must be living at the time of the Survivor's death.

THE CONTRACT

     This Policy is a contract between the Owner and us.  The entire contract
consists of the Policy, a copy of the initial application, all subsequent
applications to change the Policy, any endorsements, any Riders and Benefits,
and all additional Policy information sections (specification pages) added to
the Policy.

PAYMENTS

     We ordinarily will pay death benefit proceeds, Net Cash Surrender Value on
surrender, Partial Withdrawals, and loan proceeds based on

                                     - 46 -
<PAGE>
 
allocations made to the Variable Accounts, and will effect a transfer between
Variable Accounts or from a Variable Account to the Fixed Account within seven
days after we receive all the information needed to process a payment or, if
sooner, any other period required by law.

     However, we can postpone the calculation or payment of such a payment or
transfer of amounts based on investment performance of the Variable Accounts if:

  .  The New York Stock Exchange is closed on other than customary weekend and
holiday closing or trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted as
determined by the SEC; or

  .  An emergency exists, as determined by the SEC, as a result of which
disposal of securities is not reasonably practicable or it is not reasonably
practicable to determine the value of a Variable Account's net assets; or

  .  The SEC by order permits postponement for the protection of Policy Owners.

ASSIGNMENT

     You may assign a Policy as collateral security for a loan or other
obligation.  No assignment will bind us unless the original, or a copy, is
received at our Home Office, and will be effective only when recorded by us.  An
assignment does not change the ownership of the Policy. However, after an
assignment, the rights of any Owner or Beneficiary will be subject to the
assignment.  The entire Policy, including any attached payment option, Rider,
Benefit, and endorsement, will be subject to the assignment.  We will not be
responsible for the validity of any assignment.  Unless otherwise provided, the
assignee may exercise all rights this Policy grants except (a) the right to
change the Policy Owner or Beneficiary; and (b) the right to elect a payment
option.  Assignment of a Policy that is a modified endowment contract may
generate taxable income.  (See "Federal Income Tax Considerations," page __.)

ERRORS ON THE APPLICATION

     If the Age or sex of either Insured has been misstated, the Face Amount
shall be adjusted as follows in order to reflect the correct Age or sex:  the
Face Amount before the adjustment will be multiplied by the monthly cost of
insurance rate used in the Policy Year in which the misstatement is discovered,
based on the misstated Age or sex, and the result will be divided by the monthly
cost of insurance rate for the Policy Year in which the misstatement is
discovered, based on the correct Age and sex.  For all Policy Months following
the discovery of the misstatement, Accumulated Value will be calculated using
cost of insurance charges, Rider charges and Benefit charges based on the
correct Age and sex, but Accumulated Value for all Policy Months through the
Month in which the misstatement is discovered will not be recalculated.

                                     - 47 -
<PAGE>
 
Surrender charges and mortality and expense risk charges will not be
recalculated.  If unisex cost of insurance rates apply, no adjustment will be
made for a misstatement of sex.  See "Cost of Insurance," page __.

INCONTESTABILITY

     We may contest the validity of your Policy if any material misstatements
are made in the application.  However, your Policy will be incontestable after
the expiration of the following: the initial Face Amount cannot be contested
with respect to a given Insured after the Policy has been in force during the
Insured's lifetime for two years from the Policy Date; and reinstatement cannot
be contested after it has been in force during an Insured's lifetime for two
years from the date of reinstatement.

PAYMENT IN CASE OF SUICIDE

     If either Insured dies by suicide, while sane or insane, within two years
from the Policy Date, we will limit the death benefit proceeds to the premium
payments less any withdrawal amounts, dividends paid by us in cash, and Policy
Debt.

DIVIDENDS

     The current dividend scale is zero and we do not anticipate that dividends
will be paid.  Any dividends that do become payable will be paid in cash.

POLICY ILLUSTRATIONS

     Upon request, we will send you an illustration of future benefits under
your Policy based on both guaranteed and current cost factor assumptions.
However, we reserve the right to charge a $25 fee for requests for illustrations
in excess of one per Policy year.

PAYMENT PLAN

     Surrender or withdrawal benefits may be used to purchase a payment plan
providing monthly income for the lifetime of the Insureds, and death benefit
proceeds may be used to purchase a payment plan providing monthly income for the
lifetime of the Beneficiary.  The monthly payments consisting of proceeds plus
interest will be paid in equal installments for at least ten years.  The
purchase rates for the payment plan are guaranteed not to exceed those shown in
the Policy, but current rates that are lower (i.e., providing greater income)
                                              ----                           
may be established by us from time to time.  This benefit is not available if
the income would be less than $100 a month.  Surrender or withdrawal benefits or
death benefit proceeds may be used to purchase any other payment plan that we
make available at that time.

                                     - 48 -
<PAGE>
 
OPTIONAL INSURANCE BENEFITS

     Subject to certain requirements, you may elect to add one or more of the
following optional insurance benefits to the Policy by a Rider at the time of
application for your Policy (subject to approval of state insurance
authorities).  These optional benefits are:  guaranteed payment of a specified
coverage amount upon the death of the Survivor, subject to stated conditions;
provision for level or varying coverage on the same two Insureds; renewable
level or varying term insurance on either Insured, or individually on the
Insureds; allowance to split the Policy into individual policies for each
Insured without evidence of individual insurability; allowance to split the
Policy into individual policies for each Insured subject to evidence of
individual insurability; and Policy Owner access to a portion of the Policy's
proceeds if an Insured has been diagnosed with a terminal illness resulting in a
life expectancy of six months or less (or such other period that may be required
by state insurance authorities).  The cost of any additional insurance benefits
will be deducted as part of the monthly deduction against Accumulated Value.
See "Charges and Deductions," page __.  The amounts of these benefits are fully
guaranteed at issue.  Certain restrictions may apply and are described in the
applicable Rider or Benefit.  Under certain circumstances, a Policy can be 
combined with an added protection benefit to result in a combined coverage 
amount (face amount) equal to the same Face Amount that could be acquired under 
a single Policy. For given Insureds, combining a Policy and a benefit may result
in a Face Amount component of the mortality and expense risk charge and an 
underwriting surrender charge for a Policy that are lower than the single Policy
providing the same Face Amount. An insurance agent authorized to sell the Policy
can describe these extra benefits further. Samples of the provisions are
available from us upon written request.

LIFE INSURANCE RETIREMENT PLANS

     Any Policy Owners or applicants who wish to consider using the Policy as a
funding vehicle for (non-qualified) retirement purposes may obtain additional
information from us.  An Owner could pay premiums under a Policy for a number of
years, and upon retirement, could utilize a Policy's loan and partial withdrawal
features to access Accumulated Value as a source of retirement income for a
period of time. This use of a Policy does not alter an Owner's rights or our 
obligations under a Policy; the Policy would remain a life insurance contract 
that, so long as it remains in force, provides for a death benefit payable when 
the Survivor dies.

     Ledger illustrations are available upon request that portray how the Policy
can be used as a funding mechanism for (non-qualified) retirement plans,
referred to herein as "life insurance retirement plans," for individuals. Ledger
illustrations provided upon request show the effect on Accumulated Value, Net
Cash Surrender Value, and the net death benefit of premiums paid under a Policy
and Partial Withdrawals and loans taken for retirement income; or reflecting
allocation of premiums to specified Variable Accounts. This information will be
portrayed at hypothetical rates of return that are requested. Charts and graphs
presenting the results of the ledger illustrations or a comparison of retirement
strategies will also be furnished upon request. Any graphic presentations and
retirement strategy charts must be accompanied by a corresponding ledger
illustration; ledger illustrations must always include or be accompanied by
comparable information that is based on guaranteed cost of insurance rates and
that presents a hypothetical gross rate of return of 0%. Retirement

                                     - 49 -
<PAGE>
 
illustrations will not be furnished with a hypothetical gross rate of return in
excess of 12%.

     The hypothetical rates of return in ledger illustrations are illustrative
only and should not be interpreted as a representation of past or future
investment results.  Policy values and benefits shown in the ledger
illustrations would be different if the gross annual investment rates of return
were different from the hypothetical rates portrayed, if premiums were not paid
when due, and loan interest was paid when due.  Withdrawals or loans may have an
adverse effect on Policy benefits.

RISKS OF LIFE INSURANCE RETIREMENT PLANS

     Using the Policy as a funding vehicle for retirement income purposes
presents several risks, including the risk that if the Policy is insufficiently
funded in relation to the income stream from the Policy, the Policy can lapse
prematurely and result in significant income tax liability to the Owner in the
year in which the lapse occurs.  Other risks associated with borrowing from the
Policy also apply.  Loans will be automatically repaid from the gross death
benefit at the death of the Survivor, resulting in the estimated payment to the
Beneficiary of the net death benefit, which will be less than the gross death
benefit and may be less than the Face Amount.  Upon surrender, the loan will be
automatically repaid, resulting in the payment to you of the Net Surrender
Value.  Similarly, upon lapse, the loan will be automatically repaid.  The
automatic repayment of the loan upon lapse or surrender will cause the
recognition of taxable income to the extent that Net Surrender Value plus the
amount of the repaid loan exceeds your basis in the Policy.  Thus, under certain
circumstances, surrender or lapse of the Policy could result in tax liability to
you.  In addition, to reinstate a lapsed Policy, you would be required to make
certain payments as described under "Reinstatement," page __.  Thus, you should
be careful to fashion a life insurance plan so that the Policy will not lapse
prematurely under various market scenarios as a result of withdrawals and loans
taken from the Policy.

                                     - 50 -
<PAGE>
 
     The Policy will lapse if your Accumulated Value less Policy Debt is
insufficient to cover the current monthly deduction on any Monthly Payment Date,
and a grace period expires without your making a sufficient payment.  To avoid
lapse of your Policy, it is important to fashion a payment stream that does not
leave your Policy with insufficient Accumulated Value.  Determinations as to the
amount to withdraw or borrow each year warrant careful consideration.  Careful
consideration should also be given to any assumptions respecting the
hypothetical rate of return, to the duration of withdrawals and loans, and to
the amount of Accumulated Value that should remain in your Policy upon its
maturity. Poor investment performance can contribute to the risk that your
Policy may lapse.  In addition, the cost of insurance generally increases
with the Age of the Insured, which can further erode existing Accumulated Value
and contribute to the risk of lapse.

     Further, interest on a Policy loan is due to us for any Policy Year on the
Policy Anniversary.  If this interest is not paid when due, it is added to the
amount of the outstanding Policy Debt, and interest will begin accruing thereon
from that date.  This can have a compounding effect, and to the extent that the
outstanding loan balance exceeds your basis in the Policy, the amounts
attributable to interest due on the loans can add to your federal (and possibly
state) income tax liability.

     You should consult with your attorney and financial advisers in designing a
life insurance retirement plan that is suitable.  Further, you should continue
to monitor the Accumulated Value net of loans remaining in a Policy to assure
that the Policy is sufficiently funded to continue to support the desired income
stream and so that it will not lapse.  In this regard, you should consult your
periodic statements to determine the amount of their remaining Accumulated Value
minus the outstanding loan balance.  Illustrations showing the effect of charges
under the Policy upon existing Accumulated Value or the effect of future
withdrawals or loans upon the Policy's Accumulated Value and death benefit are
available from your agent.  Consideration should be given periodically to
whether the Policy is sufficiently funded so that it will not lapse prematurely.

     Because of the potential risks associated with borrowing from a Policy, use
of the Policy in connection with a life insurance retirement plan may not be
suitable for all Policy Owners.  These risks should be carefully considered
before borrowing from the Policy to provide an income stream.

DISTRIBUTION OF THE POLICY

     PMD is principal underwriter (distributor) of the Policies.  PMD is
registered as a broker-dealer with the SEC and is a member of the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD").  We pay PMD for acting as
principal underwriter under a Distribution Agreement. PMD is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Pacific Mutual.

                                     - 51 -
<PAGE>
 
     We and PMD have sales agreements with various broker-dealers under which
the Policy will be sold by registered representatives of the broker-dealers.
The registered representatives are required to be authorized under applicable
state regulations to sell variable life insurance.  The broker-dealers are
required to be registered with the SEC and members of the NASD.  We pay
compensation directly to broker-dealers for promotion and sales of the Policy.
The compensation payable to a broker-dealer for sales of the Policy may vary
with the Sales Agreement, but is not expected to exceed 90% of premiums paid up
to the first sales surrender target premium, 8% of the premiums paid under sales
surrender targets 2 and 3; and on the premium in excess of the sum of sales
surrender targets 1-3, 4% of premiums paid in Policy years 1-10 and 2% of
premiums paid thereafter. Broker-dealers may also receive annual renewal
compensation of up to .20% of Accumulated Value less Policy Debt. The annual
renewal compensation will be computed monthly and payable on each Policy
Anniversary.  In addition, we may also pay override payments, expense
allowances, bonuses, wholesaler fees, and training allowances. Registered
representatives earn commissions from the broker-dealers with whom they are
affiliated for selling our Policies.  Compensation arrangements vary among
broker-dealers.  In addition, registered representatives who meet specified
production levels may qualify, under sales incentive programs adopted by us, to
receive non-cash compensation such as expense-paid trips, expense-paid
educational seminars and merchandise.  We make no separate deductions, other
than as previously described, from premiums to pay sales commissions or sales
expenses.

     No officer or director listed above receives any compensation from the
Separate Account.  No separately allocable compensation has been paid by us or
any of our affiliates to any person listed for services rendered to the Separate
Account.

STATE REGULATION

     We are subject to the laws of the state of California governing insurance
companies and to regulation by the Commissioner of Insurance of California.  In
addition, we are subject to the insurance laws and regulations of the other
states and jurisdictions in which we are licensed or may become licensed to
operate.  An annual statement in a prescribed form must be filed with the
Commissioner of Insurance of California and with regulatory authorities of other
states on or before March 1st in each year.  This statement covers our
operations for the preceding year and our financial condition as of December
31st of that year.  Our affairs are subject to review and examination at any
time by the Commissioner of Insurance or his agents, and subject to full
examination of our operations at periodic intervals.

TELEPHONE TRANSFER AND LOAN PRIVILEGES

     A Policy Owner may request a transfer of Accumulated Value or a Policy Loan
by telephone if a properly completed Authorization for Telephone Requests
("Telephone Authorization") has been filed at our Home Office.  All or part of
any telephone conversation with respect to transfer or loan instructions may be
recorded by us.  Telephone instructions received by us by 1:00 P.M.  Pacific
time, or the close of the New York Stock Exchange, if earlier, on any Valuation
Date will be processed as of the end of that Valuation Date in accordance with
your instructions, (presuming that the Free-Look Period has expired).  We
reserve the right to deny any telephone transfer or loan request.  If all
telephone lines are busy (which might occur, for example, during periods of
substantial market fluctuations), Policy Owners might not be able to request
transfers and loans by telephone and would have to submit written requests.

     We have established procedures to confirm that instructions communicated by
telephone are genuine.  Under the procedures, any person requesting a transfer
by telephone must provide certain personal identification as requested by us,
and we will send a written confirmation of all transfers requested by telephone
within 7 days of the transfer.  Upon the submission of a Telephone
Authorization, you authorize us to accept and act upon telephone instructions
for transfers or loans involving your Policy, and agree that neither we, any of
our affiliates, Pacific Select Fund, nor any of our or their directors,
trustees, officers, employees or agents, will be liable for any loss, damages,
cost, or expense (including attorney's fees) arising out of any requests
effected in accordance with the Telephone Authorization and believed by us to be
genuine, provided that we have complied with its

                                     - 59 -
<PAGE>
 
procedures.  As a result of this policy on telephonic requests, you will bear
the risk of loss arising from the telephone transfer and loan privileges.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     There are no legal proceedings pending to which the Separate Account is a
party, or which would materially affect the Separate Account.

LEGAL MATTERS

     Legal matters in connection with the issue and sale of the Policies

                                 ILLUSTRATIONS

     The following tables illustrate how the death benefits, Accumulated Values
and Net Cash Surrender Values of a hypothetical policy may vary over an extended
period of time assuming hypothetical rates of return equivalent to constant
gross annual rates of 0%, 6% and 12%.

     The Policies are illustrated based on the Guideline Premium Test and
include the following:

Death Benefit Option A, Face Amount $1,500,000, Annual Premium $16,410, male
nonsmoker, issue Age 55, and female nonsmoker, issue Age 55, current cost of
insurance rates:

Death Benefit Option A, Face Amount $1,500,000, Annual Premium $16,410, male
nonsmoker, issue Age 55, and female nonsmoker, issue Age 55, guaranteed cost of
insurance rates:

Death Benefit Option B, Face Amount $1,500,000, Annual Premium $16,410, male
nonsmoker, issue Age 55, and female nonsmoker, issue Age 55, current cost of
insurance rates:

Death Benefit Option B, Face Amount $1,500,000, Annual Premium $16,410, male
nonsmoker, issue Age 55, and female nonsmoker, issue Age 55, guaranteed cost of
insurance rates:

Death Benefit Option C, Face Amount $1,500,000, Annual Premium $16,410, male
nonsmoker, issue Age 55, and female nonsmoker, issue Age 55, current cost of
insurance rates:

Death Benefit Option C, Face Amount $1,500,000, Annual Premium $16,410, male

     The values would be different from those shown if the gross annual
investment rates of return averaged 0%, 6% or 12% over a period of years, but
also fluctuated above or below those averages for individual policy years.

     The second column of each table, labeled "Total Premiums Paid Plus Interest
at 5%," shows the amount which would accumulate if an amount equal to the annual
premium (after taxes) were invested to earn interest at 5% compounded annually.
All premium payments are illustrated as if they were made at the beginning of
the year.  These illustrations assume that no Policy loans have been made.

     The amounts shown for the death benefits, Accumulated Values and Net Cash
Surrender Values reflect the fact that the net investment return on the Variable
Accounts is lower than the gross investment return on the assets as a result of
charges levied against the Variable Accounts. These values also take into
account the premium loads, the administrative charges and the mortality and
expense risk charges. The daily investment advisory fee is assumed to be
equivalent to an annual weighted rate of 0.64% of the aggregate average daily
net assets of the Fund. This hypothetical rate is representative of the weighted
average investment advisory fee applicable to the twelve Portfolios of the Fund
available as options under the Policy. The amounts shown would differ if unisex
rates were used or if the Insureds were females and female rates were used. On
those illustrations assuming current rates, the amounts would also differ if
either Insured were a smoker and smoker rates were used.

     The tables also reflect other expenses of the Fund at the weighted rate of
____% of the average daily net assets of a Portfolio, which amounts to ____% of
the average daily net assets of a Portfolio including the investment advisory
fees and foreign taxes.  For the year ended December 31, 1995, the total
expenses of each Portfolio were the following percentages of the average daily
net assets of the Portfolios: ____% for the Money Market Portfolio; ____% for
the Equity Income; ____% Multi-Strategy Portfolios; ____% for the International
Portfolio; ____% for the Managed Bond Portfolio; ____% for the Government
Securities; ____% High Yield Bond Portfolios; ____% for the Growth Portfolio;
____% for the Growth LT Portfolio; and ____% for the Equity Index Portfolio. For
Aggressive Equity and Emerging Markets Portfolios, which had not commenced
operations as of December 31, 1995, it is estimated that operating expenses,
including advisory fees and foreign taxes, after the expense limitation
described below, will be ____% and ____% of average daily net assets,
respectively.  We have agreed, until at least December 31, 1997, to waive our
fees or otherwise reimburse each Portfolio for its operating expenses to the
extent that such expenses, exclusive of advisory fees, additional custodial
charges associated with holding foreign securities, foreign taxes on dividends,
interest and gains, and extraordinary expenses, exceed 0.25% of any Portfolio's
average daily net assets.  We began this expense reimbursement policy in April
1989.  Such expenses of the Portfolios for the year ending December 31, 1995 did
not exceed the 0.25% expense caps.  In the absence of this policy, it is

                                     - 62 -

estimated that the Emerging Markets Portfolios' total expenses, including
advisory fees and foreign taxes for the Fund's current year ending December 31,
1996 will be ____%. There can be no assurance that the expense reimbursement
arrangement will continue after December 31, 1997, and any unreimbursed expenses
would be reflected in the Policy Owner's Accumulated Value and in some
instances, the death benefit.

     After deduction of the charges and Fund expenses described above, the
illustrated gross annual investment rates of return of 0%, 6%, and 12%
correspond to approximate net annual rates of return of -0.90%, 5.05%, and
10.99%.  The hypothetical values shown in the tables do not reflect any charges
against the Variable Accounts for income taxes that may be attributable to the
Variable Accounts in the future, since we are not currently making these
charges.

     We will furnish upon request a comparable illustration reflecting the
proposed Insureds' Ages, underwriting classes, Face Amount, death benefit and
premium amounts requested.  In addition, upon request, illustrations will be
furnished reflecting allocation of premiums to specified Variable Accounts.
Such illustrations 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 in excess of 12% are available to certain large institutional
investors upon request.

                                   APPENDIX A

                   Description of Joint Equal Age Calculation


1.  A Joint Equal Age (JEA) conversion changes many possible combinations of
    Ages, risk classes, substandard ratings and sexes for two lives into a "two
    life status" in which both Insureds are assumed to have the same Age, sex
    (both always male), and risk class (both nonsmoker, or smoker).

2.  Certain Policy charges are based on the JEA determined at issue. 
    JEA eliminates many of the tables needed when Age rates are used.
    JEA will be used to determine the rates per $1000 of initial Face Amount for
    the Sales Surrender Target, underwriting surrender charge and the Face
    Amount component of the mortality and expense risk charge. JEA determined at
    issue is also used to determine the death benefit under Death Benefit 
    Option D. Age is used for cost of insurance rates, both current and 
    guaranteed.

3.  To calculate JEA, the two Ages are each converted to an adjusted Age, the
    difference in adjusted Ages is converted to an Age add-on, and the Age add-
    on is added to the younger adjusted Age. The steps are as follows:

        a.  Smoker Age Adjustment:

            If both Insureds are smoker or both Insureds are nonsmoker, no
            smoker adjustment is made. If exactly one Insured is a smoker, the
            Age of the smoker is adjusted as follows:

                Number of Smokers    Smoker Age Add-on
                -------------------  -----------------
                0                           0
                1 female                    +4
                1 male                      +6  
                1 unisex                    +5
                2                           0

        b.  Sex Age Adjustment:

            Each female Insured has a 5 year Age reduction. Each male
            Insured has a 0 year Age reduction. Each unisex Insured has a 1 year
            Age reduction.

        c.  Table rating Age adjustment:

            The substandard Table ratings represent a multiple of standard
            mortality rates. An Age adjustment will be added to each Insured
            with a substandard Table rating as follows:

                                 Table Rating Age Adjustment

            Table Rating    0  A  B  C  D  E  F  H  J  L  N  P
            --------------------------------------------------
            Age Adjustment  0  2  4  6  8 10 12 14 15 16 18 19
 
            The adjusted Age for substandard is capped at Age 100.

            For uninsurable Insureds, the adjusted Age will always be 100, 
            independently of the Age and sex of the uninsurable Insureds.
            (We reserve the right to reject an application for a policy.)

                                     - 72 -

        d.  After the Ages are adjusted for sex, smoker, and table ratings, the
            younger adjusted Age is subtracted from the older adjusted Age. The
            difference is used to determine an adjusted Age add-on.

        e.  Add the Age add-on factor from step d to the younger adjusted Age.
            This is the Joint Equal Age, or JEA.
 
EXAMPLE: Assuming a male smoker, Age 65, and a female nonsmoker, Age 55, Table D
substandard rating, JEA is calculated as follows:
 
                                               Male       Female 
                                               ----       ------             
         Age                                    65          55               
         Step a - Smoker Age Adjustment         71          55

UNDERTAKING TO FILE REPORTS

     Subject to the terms and conditions of Section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, the undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to file with
the Securities and Exchange Commission such supplementary and periodic
information, documents and reports as may be prescribed by any rule or
regulation of the Commission heretofore or hereafter duly adopted pursuant to
authority conferred in that section.

NOTICE PURSUANT TO PARAGRAPH (b)(13)(i) UNDER RULE 6e-3(T)

     Registrant hereby notifies the Securities and Exchange Commission that it
elects to be governed by subparagraph (A) of Rule 6e-3(T)(b)(13)(i) for purposes
of determining the maximum permitted sales load.

REPRESENTATIONS, DESCRIPTION AND UNDERTAKINGS PURSUANT TO PARAGRAPH
(b)(13)(iii)(F) OF RULE 6e-3(T) UNDER THE INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT OF 1940

     Registrant makes the following representations:

          (1) Section 6e-3(T)(b)(13)(iii)(F) is being relied upon.

          (2) The level of the mortality and expense risk charge is reasonable
              in relation to the risks assumed under the flexible premium 
              variable life insurance policies described in the prospectus
              contained in this Registration Statement ("Policies").

          (3) Pacific Mutual has concluded that there is reasonable likelihood
              that the distribution financing arrangement of the Pacific Select
              Exec Separate Account relating to the Policies will benefit the
              Separate Account and the Policy Owners.

          (4) The Separate Account will invest only in management companies
              which have undertaken to have a board of directors, a majority
              of whom are not interested persons of the company, formulate and
              approve any plan under Rule 12b-1 to finance distribution 
              expenses. 

     The methodology used to support the representation made in paragraph (2)
above involved an analysis of the potential costs associated with the mortality
and expenses risks assumed by Pacific Mutual under the Policies in relation to
the potential proceeds from the mortality and expense risk charge under
assumptions under which adverse mortality and expense experience are realized.

     Registrant undertakes to keep and make available to the Commission on
request the documents used to support the representation in paragraph (2) above
and a memorandum setting forth the basis for the representation in paragraph (3)
above.

Distribution Agreement between Pacific Mutual
Life Insurance Company and Pacific Equities Network
<PAGE>
 
                             DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT
                             ----------------------


AGREEMENT made this 7th day of September, 1988, by and between Pacific Mutual
Life Insurance Company, a California company, ("Pacific Mutual") on its own
behalf and on behalf of the Pacific Select Exec Separate Account ("Separate
Account"), and Pacific Equities Network, a California corporation, ("PEN").

WHEREAS, Pacific Mutual has established and maintains the Separate Account, a
separate investment account, for the purpose of selling variable life contracts
("Contracts") to commence after the effectiveness of the Registration Statement
relating thereto filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on form S-6
pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), through
PEN, acting as general agent of Pacific Mutual;

WHEREAS, the Separate Account is registered as a unit investment trust under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 ("the 1940 Act");

WHEREAS, PEN is registered as a broker-dealer under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 (the "Securities Exchange Act") and is a member of the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD"); and

WHEREAS, Pacific Mutual desires to retain PEN as the Distributor and Principal
Underwriter to provide for the sale and distribution to the public of the
Contracts issued by Pacific Mutual and funded by interests in the General
Account of Pacific Mutual and in the Separate Account and PEN is willing to
render such services:

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants
hereinafter set forth, the parties agree as follows:

1.  Principal Underwriter.  Pacific Mutual hereby appoints PEN, during the term
of this Agreement, subject to the registration requirements of the 1933 Act and
the 1940 Act and the provisions of the Securities Exchange Act, to be the
Distributor and Principal Underwriter for the sale of Contracts to the public in
each state and other jurisdictions in which the Contracts may be lawfully sold.
Pacific Mutual also appoints PEN as its independent General Agent for sale of
its Contracts (including any riders which Pacific Mutual may make available in
connection therewith or any contracts for which the Contracts may be exchanged
or converted) and for sale of such other insurance contracts or annuity
contracts as Pacific Mutual may, from time to time, authorize in writing by
amendment thereto.  PEN shall offer the Contracts for sale and distribution at
premium rates set by Pacific Mutual.

2.  Selling Agreements.  PEN is hereby authorized to enter into separate written
agreements, on such terms and conditions as PEN determines are not inconsistent
with this Agreement, with such organizations which agree to participate as a
general agent and/or broker-dealer in the distribution of the Contracts and to
use their best efforts to solicit applications for Contracts.  Any such broker-
dealer (hereinafter "Broker") shall be both registered as a broker-dealer under
the Securities
<PAGE>
 
Exchange Act and a member of the NASD.  PEN shall be responsible for ensuring
that Broker and its agents or representatives and general agent and its sub-
agents soliciting applications for Contracts shall be duly and appropriately
licensed, registered and otherwise qualified for the sale of the Contracts (and
the riders and other contracts offered in connection therewith) under the
insurance laws and any applicable blue sky laws of each state or other
jurisdiction in which such policies may be lawfully sold and in which Pacific
Mutual is licensed to sell such Contracts.  Pacific Mutual shall undertake to
appoint Broker's qualified agents or representatives and general agent's sub-
agents as life insurance agents of Pacific Mutual, provided that Pacific Mutual
reserves the right to refuse to appoint any proposed representative, agent, or
sub-agent, or once appointed, to terminate such appointment.  PEN shall be
responsible for ensuring that Broker and general agent supervise its agents,
representatives, or sub-agents.

PEN is also authorized to enter into separate written agreements, on such terms
and conditions as PEN determines are not inconsistent with this Agreement, with
such organizations ("wholesalers") that agree to participate in the distribution
of the Contracts and to use their best efforts to solicit Brokers and general
agents that, in turn, will solicit applications of the Contracts.

3.  Life Insurance Agents.  Pacific Mutual shall be responsible for ensuring
that Broker and its agents or representatives and general agent and its sub-
agents meet all qualifications and hold any licenses or authorizations that may
be required for the solicitation or sale of the Contracts under the insurance
laws of the applicable jurisdictions.

4.  Suitability.  Pacific Mutual desires to ensure that Contracts will be sold
to purchasers for whom the Contract will be suitable.  PEN shall take reasonable
steps to ensure that the various representatives of Broker and sub-agents of
general agents shall not make recommendations to an applicant to purchase a
Contract in the absence of reasonable grounds to believe the purchase of the
Contract is suitable for such applicant.  While not limited to the following, a
determination of suitability shall be based on information furnished to a
representative or sub-agent after reasonable inquiry of such applicant
concerning the applicant's other security holdings, insurance and investment
objectives, financial situation and needs, and the likelihood that the applicant
will continue to make any premium payments contemplated by the Contracts and
will keep the Policy in force for a sufficient period of time so that Pacific
Mutual's acquisition costs are amortized over a reasonable period of time.

5.  Conformity With Registration Statement and Approved Sales Materials.  In
performing its duties as Distributor, PEN will act in conformity with the
Prospectus and with the instructions and directions of Pacific Mutual, the
requirements of the 1933 Act, the 1940 Act, the Securities Exchange Act, and all
other applicable federal and state laws and regulations.  PEN shall not give any
information nor make any representations, concerning any aspect of the Contract
or of Pacific Mutual's operations to any persons or entity unless such
information or representations are contained in the Registration Statement and
the pertinent prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or
are contained in sales or promotional literature approved by Pacific Mutual.
PEN will not use and will take reasonable steps to ensure Broker will not use
any sales promotion material and advertising which has not been previously
approved by Pacific Mutual.
<PAGE>
 
6.  Expenses.  During the term of this Agreement, PEN will bear all of its
expenses in complying with this Agreement, including the following expenses:

     (a) costs of sales presentations, mailings, sales promotion materials,
     advertising, and any other marketing efforts by PEN in connection with the
     distribution or sale of the Contracts; and

     (b) any compensation paid to employees of PEN and to wholesalers, Brokers
     and general agents in connection with the distribution or sale of the
     Contracts.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, it is understood and
agreed that Pacific Mutual shall at all times retain the ultimate responsibility
for and control of all functions performed pursuant to this Agreement, and for
marketing the Contract, and reserves the right to direct, approve or disapprove
any action hereunder taken on its behalf by PEN.

7.  Applications.  Completed applications for Contracts solicited by such Broker
through its agents or representatives or by general agent through its sub-agents
shall be transmitted directly to Pacific Mutual.  All payments under the
Contracts shall be made by check to Pacific Mutual or by other method acceptable
to Pacific Mutual, and if received by PEN, shall be held at all times in a
fiduciary capacity and remitted promptly to Pacific Mutual.  All such payments
will be the property of Pacific Mutual.  Pacific Mutual has the sole authority
to approve or reject such applications or payments and maintains ultimate
responsibility for underwriting.  Anything in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, Pacific Mutual retains the ultimate right to control the sale
of the Contracts and to appoint and discharge life insurance agents of Pacific
Mutual.

8.  Standard of Care.  PEN shall be responsible for exercising reasonable care
in carrying out the provisions of this Agreement.

9.  Reports.  PEN shall be responsible for maintaining the records of Broker and
general agent and their agents, representatives or sub-agents who are licensed,
registered and otherwise qualified to sell the Contracts; calculating and
furnishing the fees payable to Brokers or general agents; and for furnishing
periodic reports to Pacific Mutual as to the sale of Contracts made pursuant to
this Agreement.

10.  Records.  Pen shall maintain and preserve such records as are required of
it by applicable laws and regulations.  The books, accounts and records of
Pacific Mutual, the Separate Account and PEN shall be maintained so as to
clearly and accurately disclose the nature and details of the transactions,
including such accounting information as necessary to support the reasonableness
of the amounts to be paid by Pacific Mutual hereunder.

11.  Compensation.  For the services rendered and product development in the
initial sales efforts and continuing obligations under this Agreement, Pacific
Mutual shall pay PEN in the amounts set forth in Schedule A, which schedule is
incorporated herein.  Pacific Mutual shall arrange for the payment of
commissions, through PEN, to those Brokers and general agents that sell
Contracts under agreements entered into pursuant to Section 2, hereof, and to
wholesalers that solicit brokers and
<PAGE>
 
general agents to sell Contracts under agreements entered into pursuant to
Section 2, hereof, in amounts as may be agreed to by Pacific Mutual and PEN
specified in such written agreements.

12.  Investigation and Proceedings.  PEN and Pacific Mutual agree to cooperate
fully in any insurance regulatory investigation or proceeding or judicial
proceeding arising in connection with the Contracts distributed under this
Agreement.  PEN further agrees to furnish regulatory authorities with any
information or reports in connection with such services which may be requested
in order to ascertain whether the operations of Pacific Mutual and the Separate
Account are being conducted in a manner consistent with applicable laws and
regulations.  PEN and Pacific Mutual further agree to cooperate fully in any
securities regulatory investigation or proceeding with respect to Pacific
Mutual, PEN, their affiliates and their agents or representatives to the extent
that such investigation or proceeding is in connection with Contracts
distributed under this Agreement.  Without limiting the foregoing:

     (a) PEN will be notified promptly of any customer complaint or notice of
     any regulatory investigation or proceeding or judicial proceeding received
     by Pacific Mutual with respect to PEN or any agent, representative, or sub-
     agent of a Broker or general agent or which may affect Pacific Mutual's
     issuance of any Contract sold under this Agreement; and

     (b) PEN will promptly notify Pacific Mutual of any customer complaint or
     notice of any regulatory investigation or proceeding received by PEN or its
     affiliates with respect to PEN or any agent, representative, or sub-agent
     of a Broker or general agent in connection with any Contract distributed
     under this Agreement or any activity in connection with any such Contract.

In the case of a meritorious customer complaint, PEN and Pacific Mutual will
cooperate in investigating such complaint and any response will be sent to the
other party to this Agreement for approval not less than five business days
prior to its being sent to the customer or regulatory authority, except that if
a more prompt response is required, the proposed response shall be communicated
by telephone or telegraph.

13.  Indemnification.  Pacific Mutual hereby agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless PEN 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 Mutual or the Separate Account.
Pacific Mutual shall reimburse each such person for any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such loss,
liability, damage, or claim.  However, in no case shall Pacific Mutual be
required to indemnify for any expenses, losses, claims, damages, or liabilities
which have resulted from the willful misfeasance, bad faith, negligence,
misconduct, or wrongful act of PEN.

PEN hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Pacific Mutual, its officers,
directors, and employees, and the Separate Account for any expenses, losses,
claims, damages, or liabilities arising
<PAGE>
 
out of or based upon any of the following in connection with the offer or sale
of the contracts:  1) except for such statements made in reliance on any
prospectus, registration statement or sales material supplied or approved by
Pacific Mutual or the Separate Account, any untrue or alleged untrue statement
or representation made; 2) any failure to deliver a currently effective
prospectus; 3) the use of any unauthorized sales literature by any officer,
employee, agent, or sub-agent of PEN, Broker or general agent; or 4) any willful
misfeasance, bad faith, negligence, misconduct or wrongful act.  PEN shall
reimburse each such person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred
in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, liability, damage,
or claim.

Promptly after receipt by a party entitled to indemnification ("indemnified
party") of notice of the commencement of any action, if a claim for
indemnification in respect thereof is to be made against Pacific Mutual or PEN
("indemnifying party") such indemnified party will notify indemnifying party in
writing of the commencement thereof, but failure to notify the indemnifying
party of any claim shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to
the person against whom such action is brought otherwise than on account of this
agreement contained in this Section 13.  The indemnifying party will be entitled
to participate in the defense of the indemnified party and such participation
will not relieve such indemnifying party of the obligation to reimburse the
indemnified party for reasonable legal and other expenses incurred by such
indemnified party in defending himself.

14.  Agent of Pacific Mutual or Separate Account.  Any person, even though also
an officer, director, employee, or agent of PEN, who may be or become an
officer, director, employee, or agent of Pacific Mutual or the Separate Account
shall be deemed when rendering services to Pacific Mutual or the Separate
Account or acting in any business of Pacific Mutual or the Separate Account, to
be rendering such services to or acting solely for Pacific Mutual or the
Separate Account and not as an officer, director, employee, or agent or one
under the control or direction of PEN even though paid by PEN.  Likewise, any
person even though also an officer, director, employee, or agent of Pacific
Mutual or the Separate Account, who may be or become an officer, director,
employee, or agent of PEN shall be deemed, when rendering services to PEN or
acting in any business of PEN, to be rendering such services to or acting solely
for PEN and not as an officer, director, employee, or agent or one under the
control or direction of Pacific Mutual or the Separate Account even though paid
by Pacific Mutual or the Separate Account.

15.  Books and Records.  It is expressly understood and agreed that all
documents, reports, records, books, files and other materials relating to this
Agreement and the services to be performed hereunder shall be the sole property
of Pacific Mutual and the Separate Account and that such property shall be held

shall be delivered to Pacific Mutual upon the termination of this Agreement free
from any claim or retention of rights by PEN.  During the term of this Agreement
and for a period of three years from the date of termination of this Agreement,
PEN will not disclose or use any records or information and will regard and
preserve as confidential all information related to the business of Pacific
Mutual or the Separate Account that may be obtained by PEN from any source as a
result of this Agreement and will disclose such information only if Pacific
Mutual or the Separate Account has authorized such disclosure, or if such
disclosure is expressly required by applicable federal or state regulatory
authorities.  PEN further acknowledges and agrees that, in the event of a breach
or threatened breach by it of the provisions of this article, Pacific Mutual
will have no adequate remedy in moneys or
<PAGE>
 
damages and, accordingly, Pacific Mutual shall be entitled in its discretion to
seek an injunction against such breach.  However, no specification in this
Agreement of a specific legal or equitable remedy shall be construed as a waiver
or prohibition against any other legal or equitable remedy in the event of a
breach of a provision of this Agreement.

16.  Employees.  PEN will not employ, except with the prior written approval of
the Commissioner of Insurance of the state of California, in any material
connection with the handling of the Separate Account's assets any person who, to
the knowledge of PEN:

     (a) in the last 10 years has been convicted of any felony or misdemeanor
     arising out of conduct involving embezzlement, fraudulent conversion, or
     misappropriation of funds or securities, or involving violations of

                               SELLING AGREEMENT

  AGREEMENT by and between PACIFIC MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY ("Pacific
Mutual"), a California corporation; PACIFIC EQUITIES NETWORK ("PEN"), a
California corporation, a broker-dealer registered with the Securities and
Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "1934 Act"),
and a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD");
_______________________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________________ 
("Selling Broker-Dealer"), also a broker-dealer registered under the 1934 Act
and a member of the NASD; and each of the undersigned General Agents jointly and
severally referred to herein as "General Agent".

                              W I T N E S S E T H:

  WHEREAS, Pacific Mutual issues certain insurance and annuity contracts listed
in Schedule B (the "Contracts"), some of which are registered ("Securities
Registered Contracts") under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "1933 Act");

  WHEREAS, Pacific Mutual has authorized PEN, as principal underwriter of the
Contracts, to enter into agreements, subject to the consent of Pacific Mutual,
with broker-dealers and general agents for the distribution of the Contracts;

  WHEREAS, PEN has agreed to secure duly qualified broker-dealers and general
agents to contract with Pacific Mutual and PEN for the distribution of the
Contracts, assist these broker-dealers and general agents in obtaining licenses,
registrations and appointments to enable their registered representatives and
sub-agents to sell the Contracts, and provide educational meetings to
familiarize these broker-dealers and general agents and their registered
representatives and sub-agents with the provisions and features of the
Contracts; and

  WHEREAS, Selling Broker-Dealer and General Agent have been selected by PEN to
distribute the contracts and Selling Broker-Dealer and General Agent wish to
participate in the distribution of the Contracts.

  NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and the mutual covenants
hereinafter contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

                                       I.
                                  APPOINTMENT

  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Pacific Mutual and PEN
hereby appoint Selling Broker-Dealer and General Agent for the solicitation of

  Selling Broker-Dealer and General Agent accept such appointment and each

to such contracts is effective under the 1933 Act.
<PAGE>
 
                                      II.
                     AUTHORITY AND DUTIES OF GENERAL AGENT

A.  LICENSING AND APPOINTMENT OF SUB-AGENTS

  General Agent is authorized to appoint sub-agents ("Sub-agents") to solicit
sales of the Contracts. General Agent agrees to fulfill all requirements set
forth in the General Letter of Recommendation attached as Schedule A hereto in
conjunction with its submission of licensing and appointment papers for all Sub-
agents.

  General Agent warrants that it and all of its Sub-agents appointed pursuant to
this Agreement shall not solicit nor aid, directly or indirectly, in the
solicitation of any application for any Contract until they are fully licensed
by the proper authorities under the applicable insurance laws within the
applicable jurisdictions where General Agent and Sub-agents propose to offer the
Contracts, where Pacific Mutual is authorized to conduct business and where the
Contracts may be lawfully sold.

  General Agent shall periodically provide Pacific Mutual with a list of all
Sub-agents appointed by General Agent and the jurisdictions where such Sub-
agents are licensed to solicit sales of the Contracts. Pacific Mutual shall
periodically provide General Agent with a list which shows; (i) the
jurisdictions where Pacific Mutual is authorized to do business; and (ii) any
limitations on the availability of the Contracts in any of such jurisdictions.

  General Agent shall prepare and transmit the appropriate appointment forms to
Pacific Mutual. General Agent shall pay all fees to state insurance regulatory
authorities in connection with obtaining necessary licenses and authorizations
for Sub-agents to solicit and sell the Contracts.  Pacific Mutual will pay
appointment fees for General Agent and resident appointment fees for Sub-agents.
Non-resident appointment fees for Sub-agents will be paid by the General Agent.
All renewal appointment fees will be paid by the General Agent for Sub-agents
who have generated less than $20,000 target premium within the prior 12 months.
Pacific Mutual may refuse for any reason to apply for the appointment of a Sub-
agent and may cancel any existing appointment at any time.

B.  REJECTION OF SUB-AGENT

  Pacific Mutual or PEN may refuse for any reason, by written notice to General
Agent, to permit any Sub-agent the right to solicit applications for the sale of
any of the Contracts.  Upon receipt of such notice, General Agent immediately
shall cause such Sub-agent to cease such solicitations of sales and cancel the
appointment of any Sub-agent under this agreement.

C.  SUPERVISION OF SUB-AGENTS

  General Agent shall supervise all Sub-agents appointed pursuant to this
Agreement to solicit sales of the Contracts and bear responsibility for all acts
and omissions of each Sub-agent. General Agent shall comply with and exercise
all responsibilities required by applicable federal and state law and
regulations.  General Agent shall train and supervise its Sub-agents to ensure
that purchase of a Contract is not recommended to an applicant in the absence of
reasonable grounds to believe the purchase of the Contract is suitable for that
applicant.  While not limited to the following, a determination of suitability
shall be based on information furnished to a Sub-agent after reasonable inquiry
of such applicant concerning the applicant's insurance and investment
objectives, financial situation and needs, and the likelihood that the applicant
will continue to make any premium payments contemplated by the Contracts and
will keep the Contract in force for a sufficient period of time so that Pacific
Mutual's acquisition costs are amortized over a reasonable period of time.

  Nothing contained in this Agreement or otherwise shall be deemed to make any
Sub-agent appointed by General Agent an employee or agent of Pacific Mutual or
PEN.  Pacific Mutual and PEN shall not have any responsibility for the training
and supervision of any Sub-agent or any other employee of General Agent.  If the
act or omission of a Sub-agent or any other employee of General Agent is the
proximate cause of claim, damage or liability (including reasonable attorneys'
fees) to Pacific Mutual or PEN, General Agent shall be responsible and liable
therefor.

<PAGE>
 
                                      III.
                 AUTHORITY AND DUTIES OF SELLING BROKER-DEALER

  Selling Broker-Dealer agrees that it has full responsibility for the training
and supervision of all persons, including Sub-agents of General Agent,
associated with Selling Broker-Dealer who are engaged directly or indirectly in
the offer or sale of Securities Regulated Contracts.  All such persons shall be
registered representatives of Selling Broker-Dealer and shall be subject to the
control of Selling Broker-Dealer with respect to their securities regulated
activities.  Broker-Dealer shall: (i) train and supervise Sub-agents, in their
capacity as registered representatives, in the sale of Securities Regulated
Contracts; (ii) use its best efforts to cause such Sub-agents to qualify under
applicable federal and state laws to engage in the sale of Securities Regulated
Contracts; (iii) provide Pacific Mutual and PEN to their satisfaction with
evidence of Sub-agents' qualifications to sell Securities Regulated Contracts;
(iv) notify Pacific Mutual if any of such Sub-agents ceases to be a registered
representative of Selling Broker-Dealer; and (v) train and supervise Sub-agents
to ensure compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws, rules,
regulations, statements of policy thereunder and with NASD rules. Selling
Broker-Dealer shall train and supervise Sub-agents to ensure that purchase of a
Contract is not recommended to an applicant in the absence of reasonable grounds
to believe the purchase of the Contract is suitable for that applicant.  While
not limited to the following, a determination of suitability shall be based on
information furnished to a Sub-agent after reasonable inquiry of such applicant
concerning the applicant's other security holdings, financial situation and
needs.  Selling Broker-Dealer shall ensure that any offer of a Securities
Regulated Contract made by a Sub-agent will be made by means of a currently
effective prospectus.

  Pacific Mutual and PEN shall not have any responsibility for the supervision
of any registered representative or any other employee or affiliate of Selling
Broker-Dealer.  If the act or omission of a registered representative or any
other employee or affiliate of Selling Broker-Dealer is the proximate cause of
any claim, damage or liability (including reasonable attorney's fees) to Pacific
Mutual or PEN, Selling Broker-Dealer shall be responsible and liable therefor.

  Selling Broker-Dealer at all times shall be duly registered as a broker-dealer
under the 1934 Act, a member in good standing of the NASD and duly licensed in
all states and jurisdictions where required to perform pursuant to this
agreement.  Selling Broker-Dealer shall fully comply with the requirements of
the 1934 Act and all other applicable federal or state laws and with the rules
of the NASD.  Selling Broker-Dealer shall establish such rules and procedures as
may be necessary to cause diligent supervision of the securities activities of
the Sub-agents including ensuring compliance with the prospectus delivery
requirements of the 1933 Act.


                                      IV.
                            AUTHORITY AND DUTIES OF
                    GENERAL AGENT AND SELLING BROKER-DEALER

A.  CONTRACTS

  The securities and insurance regulated Contracts issued by Pacific Mutual to
which this Agreement applies are listed in Schedule B, which may be amended from
time to time by Pacific Mutual.  Pacific Mutual, in its sole discretion, with
prior or concurrent written notice to Selling Broker-Dealer and General Agent,
may suspend distribution of any Contract.  Pacific Mutual also has the right to
amend any Contract at any time.

B.  SECURING APPLICATIONS

  Each application for a Contract shall be made on an application form provided
by Pacific Mutual, and all payments collected by Selling Broker-Dealer, General
Agent or any registered representative and Sub-agent shall be remitted promptly
in full, together with such application form and any other required
documentation, directly to Pacific Mutual at the address indicated on such
application or to such other address as may be designated by Pacific Mutual.
All such payments and documents shall be the property of Pacific Mutual.
Selling Broker-Dealer and 

                                       3
<PAGE>
 
General Agent shall review all such applications for completeness and for
compliance with the conditions herein, including the suitability and prospectus
delivery requirements set forth above under Sections II.C and III. Check or
money order in payment of such Contracts should be made payable to the order of
"Pacific Mutual". All applications are subject to acceptance or rejection by
Pacific Mutual in its sole discretion.

C.  RECEIPT OF MONEY

  All money payable in connection with any of the Contracts, whether as premium,
purchase payment or otherwise and whether paid by or on behalf of any contract
owner or anyone else having an interest in the Contracts, is the property of
Pacific Mutual and shall be transmitted immediately in accordance with the
administrative procedures of Pacific Mutual without any deduction or offset for
any reason including, but not limited to, any deduction or offset for
compensation claimed by Selling Broker-Dealer or General Agent, unless there has
been a prior arrangement for net wire transmissions between Pacific Mutual and
Selling Broker-Dealer or General Agent.

D.  NOTICE OF SUB-AGENT'S NONCOMPLIANCE

  Selling Broker-Dealer shall immediately notify PEN and General Agent in the
event a Sub-agent fails or refuses to submit to the supervision of Selling
Broker-Dealer or General Agent in accordance with this Agreement, the agreement
between Selling Broker-Dealer, General Agent and Sub-agent referred to in
Section IV.H, below, or otherwise fails to meet the rules and standards imposed
by Selling Broker-Dealer or its registered representatives or General Agent or
its Sub-agents.  Selling Broker-Dealer or General Agent shall also immediately
notify such Sub-agent that he or she is no longer authorized to sell the
Contracts, and both Selling Broker-Dealer and General Agent shall take whatever
additional action may be necessary to terminate the sale activities of such Sub-
agent relating to the Contracts.

E.  SALES PROMOTION, ADVERTISING AND PROSPECTUSES

  No sales promotion materials, circulars, documents or any advertising relating
to any of the Contracts shall be used by Selling Broker-Dealer, General Agent or
any Sub-agents unless the specific item has been approved in writing by PEN and
Pacific Mutual prior to use.  Selling Broker-Dealer shall be provided, without
any expense to Selling Broker-Dealer, with prospectuses relating to Securities
Regulated Contracts.  Selling Broker-Dealer and General Agent shall be provided
with such other material as PEN determines necessary or desirable for use in
connection with sales of the Contracts.  Nothing in these provisions shall
prohibit Selling Broker-Dealer or General Agent from advertising life insurance
and annuities on a generic basis.

  Selling Broker-Dealer, General Agent and Sub-agents shall make no material
representations relating to the Securities Regulated Contracts, other than those
contained in the relevant registration statement, as may be amended, or in sales
promotion or other materials approved by Pacific Mutual and PEN as provided in
this section.

F.  CONFIDENTIALITY

  Selling Broker-Dealer and General Agent shall keep confidential all
information obtained pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation,
names of the purchasers of the Policies, and shall disclose such information,
only if Pacific Mutual or PEN have authorized such disclosure in writing, or if
such disclosure is expressly required by applicable federal or state regulatory
authorities.

G.  RECORDS

  Selling Broker-Dealer and General Agent shall have the responsibility for
maintaining the records of its Sub-agents and representatives licensed,
registered and otherwise qualified to sell the Contracts.  Selling Broker-Dealer
and General Agent shall maintain such other records as are required of them by
applicable laws and regulations.  The books, accounts and records of Selling
Broker-Dealer and General Agent relating to the sale of the Contracts shall be
maintained so as to clearly and accurately disclose the nature and details of
the transactions.  Selling Broker-Dealer and General Agent each agree to make
the books and records relating to the sale of the Contracts available to Pacific
Mutual or PEN upon their written request.

                                       4
<PAGE>
 
H.  SUB-AGENT AGREEMENTS

  Before a Sub-agent is permitted to sell the Contracts, General Agent, Selling
Broker-Dealer and Sub-agent shall have entered into a written agreement pursuant
to which: (i) Sub-agent is appointed a Sub-agent of General Agent and a
registered representative of Selling Broker-Dealer; (ii) Sub-agent agrees that
his or her selling activities relating to Securities Regulated Contracts shall
be under the supervision and control of Selling Broker-Dealer; and (iii) that
Sub-agent's right to continue to sell such Contracts is subject to his or her
continued compliance with such agreement and any procedures, rules or
regulations implemented by Selling Broker-Dealer or General Agent.

                                       V.
                                  COMPENSATION

A.  COMMISSIONS AND FEES

  Commissions and fees payable to General Agent or any Sub-agent in connection
with the Contracts shall be paid by Pacific Mutual through PEN to General Agent,
or as otherwise permitted by law or regulation.  General Agent shall pay Sub-
agents.  PEN will provide Selling Broker-Dealer and General Agent with a copy of
its current Compensation Schedule(s), attached hereto as Schedule B.  Unless
otherwise provided in Schedule B, compensation will be paid as a percentage of
premiums or purchase payments (collectively, "Payments") received in cash or
other legal tender and accepted by Pacific Mutual on applications obtained by
the various Sub-agents appointed by General Agent hereunder.  Upon termination
of this Agreement, all compensation to General Agent hereunder shall cease.
However, General Agent shall be entitled to receive compensation for all new and
additional premium payments which are in process at the time of termination, and
shall continue to be liable for any charge-backs pursuant to the provisions of
said Schedule B, or for any other amount advanced by or otherwise due Pacific
Mutual or PEN hereunder.  Pacific Mutual reserves the right not to pay
compensation on a policy or contract for which the premium is paid in whole or
in part by the loan or surrender value of any other life insurance policy or
annuity contract issued by Pacific Mutual.

  PEN shall deduct any chargebacks from compensation otherwise due General Agent
or Selling Broker-Dealer.  If any amount to be deducted exceeds compensation
otherwise due, General Agent and/or Selling Broker-Dealer shall promptly pay
back the amount of the excess following a written demand by PEN or Pacific
Mutual.  General Agent and Selling Broker-Dealer are jointly and severally
liable for such chargebacks.

  Pacific Mutual reserves the right to reduce first year commissions and renewal
commissions, if necessary, on any life policies sold to residents of the State
of Kentucky and paid for after May 1, 1991.  Such reduction shall be in an
amount sufficient to cover any premium tax levied by cities and counties within
the State of Kentucky which is over and above the premium tax paid by Pacific
Mutual to the State of Kentucky.

  Pacific Mutual recognizes the Contract owners' right on issued Contracts to
terminate Selling Broker-Dealer and/or change a Selling Broker-Dealer, provided
that the Contract owner notifies PEN in writing.  When a Contract owner
terminates Selling Broker-Dealer, no further compensation on any payments due or
received, or on any increases in face amount in the existing policy after
termination, shall be payable to that Selling Broker-Dealer in accordance with
Schedule B after the notice of termination is received and accepted by PEN.
However, when a Contract owner designates a Selling Broker-Dealer other than the
Selling Broker-Dealer of record, compensation on any payments due or received,
or on any increases in face amount in the existing Contract after the change,
shall be payable to the new Selling Broker-Dealer in accordance with Schedule B
in effect at the time of issuance of the Contract.

                                       5
<PAGE>
 
  A change of Selling Broker-Dealer request shall be honored only if there
exists a valid Selling Agreement between  Pacific Mutual, PEN and the new
Selling Broker-Dealer and (1) the Contract owner(s) requests in writing that the
Sub-agent remains as representative of record, or (2) both the former and future
Selling Broker-Dealers direct Pacific Mutual and PEN in a joint writing to
transfer all policies and future compensation to the new Selling Broker-Dealer,
or (3) the NASD approves and effects a bulk transfer of all representatives to a
new Selling Broker-Dealer.

B.  TIME OF PAYMENT

  PEN will pay any commissions due General Agent at least twice monthly in
accordance with Schedule B of this Agreement, as it may be amended from time to
time.

C.  AMENDMENT OF SCHEDULES

  PEN may amend Schedule B upon at least ten (10) days' prior written notice to
Selling Broker-Dealer and General Agent.  The submission of an application for
the Contracts by Selling Broker-Dealer or General Agent after the effective date
of any such amendment shall constitute agreement to such amendment.  Any such
amendment shall apply to compensation due on applications received by Pacific
Mutual after the effective date of such notice.

D.  Prohibition Against Rebates

  Pacific Mutual or PEN may terminate this Agreement if Selling Broker-Dealer,
General Agent or any Sub-agent rebates, offers to rebate or withholds any part
of any Payment on the Contracts.  If Selling Broker-Dealer, General Agent or any
Sub-agent of General Agent shall at any time induce or endeavor to induce any
owner of any Contract issued hereunder to discontinue payments or to relinquish
any such Contract, except under circumstances where there is reasonable grounds
for believing the Contract is not suitable for such person, any and all
compensation due General Agent hereunder shall cease and terminate.

E.  INDEBTEDNESS AND RIGHT OF SET OFF

  Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as giving Selling
Broker-Dealer or General Agent the right to incur any indebtedness on behalf of
Pacific Mutual or PEN.  Selling Broker-Dealer and General Agent hereby authorize
PEN and Pacific Mutual to set off liabilities of Selling Broker-Dealer and
General Agent to Pacific Mutual and PEN against any and all amounts otherwise
payable to Selling Broker-Dealer or General Agent.


                                      VI.
                               GENERAL PROVISIONS

A.  Waiver

  Failure of any party to insist upon strict compliance with any of the
conditions of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of any of the
conditions, but the same shall remain in full force and effect.  No waiver of
any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to be, or shall
constitute, a waiver of any other provisions, whether or not similar, nor shall
any waiver constitute a continuing waiver.

                                       6
<PAGE>
 
B.  LIMITATIONS

  The Selling Broker-Dealer and General Agent are independent contractors with
respect to Pacific Mutual and PEN.  No party other than Pacific Mutual and or
PEN, as the case may be, shall have the authority to: (i) make, alter or
discharge any Contract issued by Pacific Mutual; (ii) waive any forfeiture or
extend the time of making any payments; (iii) enter into any proceeding in a
court of law or before a regulatory agency in the name of or on behalf of
Pacific Mutual or PEN; (iv) contract for the expenditure of funds of Pacific
Mutual or PEN; (v) alter the forms which PEN prescribes, or substitute other
forms in place of those prescribed by PEN.

C.  FIDELITY BOND AND OTHER LIABILITY COVERAGE

  Selling Broker-Dealer and General Agent each represent that all directors,
officers, agents, employees and Sub-agents who are licensed pursuant to this
Agreement as Pacific Mutual agents for state insurance law purposes or who have
access to funds of Pacific Mutual, including but not limited to, funds submitted
with applications for the Contracts are and shall be covered by a blanket
fidelity bond, including coverage for larceny and embezzlement, issued by a
reputable bonding company.  This bond shall be maintained by Selling Broker-
Dealer or General Agent at their expense.  Such bond shall be, at a minimum, of
the form, type, and amount required under NASD Rules, endorsed to extend

Premium Allocation - The initial premium, less the Premium Load, will be
allocated to the Money Market Variable Account on the date it is received and
accepted by us.

Any additional premiums received by us prior to the Free Look Transfer Date,
less the Premium Load, will be allocated to the Money Market Variable Account.

The Accumulated Value in the Money Market Variable Account on the Free Look
Transfer Date, and any subsequent premiums less the Premium Load, will be
allocated to the Fixed and Variable Accounts according to the premium allocation
specified in the application or your most recent instructions received by us, if
any.

Upon written request, you may change the premium allocation. Subsequent premiums
received by us, less the Premium Load, will be allocated to the Fixed and
Variable Accounts according to your most recent instructions.

Premium Limitation - We reserve the right to require evidence of insurability,
satisfactory to us, for any premium payment that would result in an immediate
increase in the difference between the death benefit and the Accumulated Value.

In order for this policy to be treated as life insurance under the Internal
Revenue Code, the sum of the premiums paid less a portion of any Withdrawals as
defined in the Internal Revenue Code may not exceed the greater of:

     - the Guideline Single Premium; or

     - the sum of the Guideline Level Premiums to the date of payment.
<PAGE>
 
The amounts of the Guideline Premiums are shown on the policy specifications
pages. The Guideline Premiums will change whenever there is a change in the Face
Amount of insurance or in other policy benefits. Such Guideline Premium changes
will be shown in a supplemental schedule of benefits and premiums that we will
send to you.

The Guideline Premiums are determined according to the rules applicable to this
policy set forth in the Internal Revenue Code. The Guideline Premiums will be
adjusted to conform to any changes in the Internal Revenue Code.

In the event that a premium payment would exceed the Guideline Premium limits,
we reserve the right to refund the excess payment to the owner. Further, we
reserve the right to make distributions from the policy to the extent we deem it
necessary to continue to qualify this policy as life insurance under the
Internal Revenue Code.

In order for this policy to avoid being treated as a Modified Endowment Contract
(MEC), the sum of premiums paid less a portion of any Withdrawals may not exceed
the 7-Pay limit as defined in the Internal Revenue Code.  In the event that a
premium payment would exceed the 7-Pay limit, we reserve the right to refund the
excess payment to the owner, unless the owner has previously notified us in
writing that payments that cause this policy to become a MEC may be accepted by
us and applied to the policy.

Grace Period and Lapse - If the Accumulated Value less debt on a monthly payment
date is not sufficient to cover the current monthly deduction, a grace period of
61 days will be allowed for the payment of sufficient premium to keep your
policy in force.

We will send a notice at the start of the grace period to you at your last known
address and to any assignee of record. The grace period will end 61 days after
we mail you the notice. The notice will state the due date and the amount of
premium required to keep your policy in force. A minimum of three times the
monthly deduction due when the insufficiency occurred must be paid. Upon receipt
of payment, we will allocate the premium payment, less the Premium Load, to the
Variable Accounts and Fixed Account according to your most recent premium
allocation instructions. Your policy will remain in force during the grace
period. If sufficient premium is not paid by the end of the grace period, a
lapse will occur. We will send you and any assignee of record, a written notice
30 days prior to lapse. Upon lapse, the policy will terminate with no value.

Reinstatement - If it has not been surrendered, this policy may be reinstated
not more than five years after the end of the grace period. To reinstate this
policy you must provide us with:

     - a written application;

     - evidence of insurability satisfactory to us for each insured living as of
       the beginning of the grace period;

     - payment of sufficient premium to cover all monthly deductions that were
       due and unpaid during the grace period; plus

     - payment of sufficient premium to keep the policy in force for three
       months after the date of reinstatement.

When this policy is reinstated, the Accumulated Value will be equal to the
Accumulated Value on the date of lapse subject to the following.  We will
allocate the Accumulated Value and your premium payment, less the Premium Load,
to the Fixed and Variable Accounts according to your most recent premium
allocation instructions.
<PAGE>
 
If the policy is reinstated after the first monthly payment date following
lapse, the Accumulated Value will be reduced by the amount of any debt on the
date of lapse and no policy debt will exist on the date of reinstatement.  If
the policy is reinstated on the first monthly payment date following lapse, any
debt on the date of lapse will also be reinstated, with the corresponding
portion of the Accumulated Value allocated to the Loan Account as described in
the Policy Loans provision.

The effective date of the reinstated policy will be the first monthly payment
date on or following the date we approve your reinstatement application.

POLICY BENEFITS

Death Benefit Options - The death benefit for this policy will be one of the
following:

Option A- The death benefit is the greater of:

     - the Face Amount; or

     - the Guideline Minimum Death Benefit.

Option B- The death benefit is the greater of:

     - the Face Amount plus the Accumulated Value on the date of death; or

     - the Guideline Minimum Death Benefit.

Option C- The death benefit is the greater of:

     - the Face Amount plus the sum of the premiums paid to the date of death
       minus the sum of any partial withdrawals taken and any other distribution
       of the Accumulated Value to the date of death; or

     - the Guideline Minimum Death Benefit.

Option D- The death benefit is the greater of:

     - the Face Amount times the death benefit factor for the current policy
       year as shown on the policy specifications pages; or

     - the Guideline Minimum Death Benefit.

The owner elects the Death Benefit Option in the application.  If no option is
elected, Option A is the automatic option. The original election of the Death
Benefit Option may not be changed until after completion of the fifth policy
year.  Thereafter, the Death Benefit Option may be changed to Option A or B upon
written request once per policy year. Changes to Option C or D will not be
permitted. After any such change, the Face Amount will be that amount which
results in the death benefit after the change being equal to the death benefit
before the change.  The change will be effective on the monthly payment date on
or next following the day the written request is received by us at PM's Home
Office.

Unless specified otherwise by you in writing, any request for a death benefit
option change will not be processed if the option change would cause the policy
to be treated as a MEC.

The Guideline Minimum Death Benefit at any time is the Accumulated Value
multiplied by the Death Benefit Percentage shown below:

PM reserves the right to reduce the Guideline Minimum Death Benefit by requiring
partial withdrawals be made in order to maintain the net amount at risk at a
level that will not exceed three times the Death Benefit on the Policy Date.
The net amount at risk is the difference between the Death Benefit and the
Accumulated Value.

This policy is intended to qualify as a life insurance contract under the
Internal Revenue Code for Federal tax purposes, and the death benefit under this
policy is intended to qualify for the income tax exclusion under the Internal
Revenue Code. To that end, the provisions of this policy, including any other
rider, benefit, or endorsement, are to be interpreted to ensure such tax
qualification, notwithstanding any other provisions to the contrary.

If at any time the premiums paid under this policy exceed the amount allowable
for such tax qualification, such excess amount shall be removed from the policy
as of the date of its payment, and any appropriate adjustment in the death
benefit shall be made as of such date. This excess amount shall be refunded to
the Owner no later than 60 days after the end of the applicable contract year.
We shall adjust the excess amount refunded for interest from the date of its
payment or for changes in Accumulated Value attributable to the excess amount.
If the excess amount is not refunded by then, the death benefit under this
policy shall be increased retroactively and prospectively so that at no time is
this death benefit ever less than the amount needed to ensure such tax
qualification.  To the extent that the death benefit as of any time is increased
by this provision, appropriate adjustments shall be made retroactively in any
cost of insurance or supplemental benefits as of that time that are consistent
with such an increase.
<PAGE>
 
Unless specified otherwise by you in writing, it is intended that this policy
will not be treated as a Modified Endowment Contract (MEC) under the Internal
Revenue Code.  To that end, the provisions of this policy, including any other
rider, benefit or endorsement, are to be interpreted to prevent the policy from
being subject to such treatment, notwithstanding any other provisions to the
contrary.

If at any time the premiums or other amounts paid under the policy exceed the
limit for avoiding such MEC treatment, unless otherwise specified in writing by
you that such MEC treatment is acceptable, such excess amount shall be removed
from the policy as of the date of its payment, and any appropriate adjustment in
the policy's death benefit shall be made as of such date.  This excess amount
shall be refunded to the owner no later than 60 days after the end of the
applicable contract year.  We shall adjust the excess amount refunded for
interest from the date of its payment or for changes in Accumulated Value
attributable to the excess amount. If the excess amount is not refunded by then,
the death benefit under the policy shall be increased retroactively and
prospectively to the minimum amount necessary (e.g., to the end of any test
period) so that at no time is this death benefit ever less than the amount
needed to avoid such MEC treatment.  To the extent that the death benefit as of
any time is increased by this provision, appropriate adjustments shall be made,
retroactively or otherwise, in any cost of insurance or supplemental benefits as
of that time that are consistent with such an increase.

Death Benefit Proceeds - When we receive proof that both insureds' deaths
occurred while this policy was in force, we will pay the death proceeds in
effect for this policy as of the date of the survivor's death.  If both insureds
die either simultaneously or in circumstances where it is not clear which
insured died first, the older of the two insureds will be deemed to be the
survivor. Proof of death of each insured should be sent to the Home Office or to
an agent of the Company within 90 days of death.

We will pay the death benefit proceeds to the beneficiary. The death benefit
proceeds are equal to the death benefit provided by your policy, as of the date
of death, less any debt and less any due and unpaid monthly deductions occurring
during the grace period. The actual death benefit proceeds paid are subject to
the conditions and adjustments defined in other policy provisions, such as
General Provisions, Withdrawals and Policy Loans.

We will pay interest on death benefit proceeds from the date of the survivor's
death to the date of payment at a date not less than 4%, or if higher, the
interest rate required by the state in which this policy is issued.

Decrease Provision - Subject to PM's approval, the owner may decrease the Face
Amount of insurance if such request is made:

     - while either or both insureds are living;

     - after the first policy year;

     - no more often than once in any policy year; and

     - in writing while this policy is in force.

The effective date of the decreased Face Amount will be the first monthly
payment date on or following the date the written request is received by us.

A decrease in Face Amount during the first ten policy years will result in
surrender charges being deducted from the Accumulated Value.  For more
information, see the Surrender Charge provision.
<PAGE>
 
A supplemental schedule of benefits and premiums will be issued.  This schedule
will include the following information:

     - the effective date of the decreased Face Amount;

     - the amount of the decrease and the decreased Face Amount; and

     - the new Guideline Premiums.

The request for a decrease in the face amount will be subject to the Guideline
Premiums Limitation as defined in the Internal Revenue Code.  This may result in
a refund of premiums and/or the distribution of Accumulated Value in order to
maintain compliance with such limitations. Such request will not be allowed if
the resulting Guideline Premiums could cause an amount in excess of the Net Cash
Surrender Value to be distributed from the policy. The Face Amount of this
policy may not be decreased to less than our minimum issue limit in effect on
the date of the request.

Unless specified otherwise by you in writing, no request for a face amount
decrease will be processed if the decrease would cause the policy to be treated
as a MEC.

ACCUMULATED VALUE

Accumulated Value - The Accumulated Value on any date is the sum of your
policy's Accumulated Value in the Fixed and Variable Accounts, plus the amount
set aside in the Loan Account to secure any policy debt and any interest
credited thereon.

The amount set aside to secure debt in the Loan Account on each policy
anniversary is equal to the amount of debt. During each policy year, the amount
in the Loan Account on any date is:

     - the amount in the Loan Account on the prior anniversary increased by
       interest;

     - plus any loan taken since the prior anniversary increased by interest;
       and

     - minus any loan amount repaid since the prior anniversary increased by
       interest.
 
Fixed Account - The Accumulated Value in the Fixed Account on any date is:

     - the Accumulated Value in the Fixed Account on the prior monthly payment
       date increased by interest;

     - plus the amount of any premiums less Premium Load received and allocated
       to the Fixed Account since the last monthly payment date, increased by
       interest;

     - minus the monthly deduction and other deductions due, if any, and
       assessed against the Fixed Account increased by interest;
 
     - minus the amount of any withdrawals, or transfers from the Fixed Account,
       including transfers to the Loan Account, since the last monthly payment
       date, increased by interest; and

     - plus the amount of any transfer to the Fixed Account, including transfers
       from the Loan Account, since the last monthly payment date, increased by
       interest.

Variable Accounts - Assets in the Variable Accounts are divided into
accumulation units, which are a measure of value used for bookkeeping purposes.
We credit your policy with accumulation units in each Variable Account as a
result of:

     - the amount of any premiums less Premium Load received and allocated to
       the Variable Account; and
<PAGE>
 
     - transfers of Accumulated Value to the Variable Account, including
       transfers from the Loan Account.

We debit accumulation units in each Variable Account as a result of:

     - transfers from the Variable Account, including transfers to the Loan
       Account;

     - withdrawals from the Variable Account; and

     - the monthly deduction and other deductions due, if any, and assessed
       against the Variable Account.

To determine the number of accumulation units debited or credited in connection
with a transaction, we divide the dollar amount of the transaction by the unit
value of the affected Variable Account. The unit value of each Variable Account
is determined on each Valuation Date.  The number of units in each Variable
Account will not change because of subsequent changes in unit value.

To calculate the unit value of a Variable Account on any Valuation Date, we
adjust the unit value from the previous Valuation Date, for:

     - the investment performance of the Variable Account;

     - any dividends or distributions paid to the Variable Account;

     - charges, if any, that may be assessed by us for income taxes attributable
       to the operation of the Variable Account.

A Valuation Date is each day required by applicable law and currently includes
each day that both the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading and Pacific
Mutual's administrative offices are open. If any transaction or event is
scheduled to occur on a day that is not a Valuation Date, such transaction or
event will be deemed to occur on the next following Valuation Date unless
otherwise specified.

To determine your Accumulated Value in each Variable Account, we multiply the
number of units in the Variable Account by the unit value of such account.

Interest - We will credit interest on the Accumulated Value in the Fixed Account
at a rate not less than .32737% per month, compounded monthly.  This is
equivalent to an annual effective rate of 4%.  At our discretion, we may credit
a higher rate of interest periodically. We will credit interest on the amount in
the Loan Account at a rate of .32737% per month, compounded monthly.  This is
equivalent to an annual effective rate of 4%.

On each policy anniversary, any interest earned and held in the Loan Account
will be transferred to the Fixed and Variable Accounts in accordance with your
most recent premium allocation instructions.

Transfers - On and after the Free Look Transfer Date and while your policy is in
force, you may, upon written request, transfer your Accumulated Value, or a part
of it, among the Fixed and Variable Accounts subject to the following.  No
transfer may be made if the policy is in a grace period and the required premium
has not been paid.  Only one transfer from the Fixed Account may be made in any
twelve month period.

Transfers from the Fixed Account to the Variable Accounts will be limited to the
greater of 25% of the Accumulated Value in the Fixed Account or $5,000 in any
year. Transfers from the Variable Accounts to the Fixed Account may be made only
during the policy month preceding each policy anniversary.

No charges are currently imposed upon a transfer.  We reserve the right at a
future date to limit the size of transfers and remaining balances, to assess
transfer charges and to limit the number and frequency of transfers.
<PAGE>
 
POLICY CHARGES

Monthly Deduction - A Monthly Deduction for a policy month is due on each
monthly payment date and is equal to the sum of the following items:

     - the monthly Cost of Insurance Charge;

     - the Administrative Charge;

     - the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge; and

     - the monthly charge of any riders or benefits.

The Monthly Deduction will be charged proportionately to the Accumulated Value
in each Variable Account and the Fixed Account on the monthly payment date.

Cost of Insurance Charge - Beginning on the policy date and monthly thereafter,
there will be a charge equal to the Cost of Insurance applicable to the policy
face amount.

The monthly Cost of Insurance Charge for the death benefit payable under this
policy is determined as follows: (1) is multiplied by the result of (2) minus
(3), where:

     - (1) is the applicable monthly Cost of Insurance Rate;

     - (2) is the death benefit at the beginning of the policy month divided by
       1.00327374; and

     - (3) is the Accumulated Value at the beginning of the policy month before
       the Monthly Deduction due, including any interest credited to the Loan
       Account.

Cost of Insurance Rates - The Cost of Insurance Rates are based on the policy's
duration and on the two insureds' ages and risk classifications on the policy
date. The current monthly Cost of Insurance Rates will be determined by us.
These rates will not exceed the guaranteed maximum monthly Cost of Insurance
Rates shown on the policy specifications pages.  Any changes in the Cost of
Insurance Rates will apply uniformly to all pairs of insureds of the same ages,
risk classifications and duration under this policy.

Mortality and Expense Risk Charge - The Mortality and Expense Risk Charge is to
compensate us for the risk we assume that mortality and expenses will be greater
than estimated. The Mortality and Expense Risk Charge consists of the following:

     - a maximum monthly charge of .00025 (.30% annually) in the first 20 policy
       years; and .000083333 (.10% annually) thereafter, multiplied by the
       result of the Accumulated Value at the beginning of the policy month less
       the Cost of Insurance Charge and less the monthly charge for any riders
       or benefits.

     - during the first 10 policy years, a monthly charge equal to the rates
       shown in the policy specifications pages, multiplied by the Face Amount
       of the policy at issue.

Administrative Charge - Beginning on the policy date and monthly thereafter,
there will be an Administrative Charge against the Accumulated Value. The amount
of this charge will not exceed the amount shown on the policy specifications
pages.

If you already own a policy under PM form 96-56, we will waive the
Administrative Charges of this policy while Administrative Charges are being
paid under the other policy, if the insureds of both policies are the same.
However, we will deduct a charge of $200 from the initial premium of this
policy.
<PAGE>
 
Premium Load - A Premium Load will be charged each time a premium is paid to
cover state premium tax, federal tax and contribute towards covering our sales
and distribution expenses. The Premium Load consists of the following:

     - a sales load equal to 5% in the first ten policy years and 3% thereafter;

     - a charge of 2.35% for state premium taxes; and

     - a charge of 1.50% for federal taxes.

The Premium Load associated with each premium will be immediately deducted from
the premium paid.

We reserve the right to increase the Premium Load with respect to the load for
state premium taxes and federal taxes. We will only increase the Premium Load if
the effective taxes paid by us increase.

Surrender Charge - A surrender charge will be deducted from the Accumulated
Value upon surrender of the policy. The surrender charge is needed to help pay
for underwriting, policy issue and sales costs.

The total surrender charge is equal to the sum of an underwriting surrender
charge and a sales surrender charge.

The underwriting surrender charge is shown on the policy specifications pages.
It remains level for the first policy year and then decreases by 0.9259% per
month to zero at the 120th month.

The sales surrender charge is equal to 25% of the premiums paid up to the sales
surrender target.  The sales surrender target is shown on the policy
specifications pages. The sales surrender charge increases as premiums are paid
until the sales surrender target is reached.  After the first policy year, the
sales surrender charge, as calculated above, is adjusted by multiplying by a
reduction factor.  This reduction factor is equal to 99.0741% in the 13th month
and reduces by .9259% per month to zero at the 120th month.

A surrender charge may also be deducted on a decrease in Face Amount.  In the
event of a decrease, the surrender charge deducted is a portion of the charge
that would apply to a full surrender of the policy.  The surrender charge
deducted will be determined by dividing the amount of the decrease by the Face
Amount immediately prior to the decrease and multiplying the result by the
surrender charge.

Surrender charges resulting from Face Amount decreases will reduce the
Accumulated Value.  They will be allocated proportionately to the Accumulated
Value in the Fixed and Variable Accounts at the time of the Face Amount
decreases.

After a Face Amount decrease, the total surrender charge schedule is reduced.
The new total surrender charge schedule will be determined by dividing the Face
Amount after the decrease by the Face Amount immediately prior to the decrease
and multiplying the result by the total surrender charge schedule in effect
before the decrease.

Withdrawal Fee - A withdrawal fee of $25 will be deducted from the Accumulated
Value each time a partial withdrawal occurs.  The withdrawal fee will be
deducted from the Fixed and Variable Accounts in the same proportion as the
partial withdrawal.

Other Deductions - In addition to the charges imposed under Premium Load and
elsewhere, we reserve the right to make a charge for federal, state or local
taxes that may be attributable to the Variable Accounts or to our operations
with respect to this policy if we incur any such taxes.
<PAGE>
 
SURRENDER AND WITHDRAWAL OF VALUES

Surrender - Upon written request while either insured is living you may
surrender this policy for its Net Cash Surrender Value. The policy will
terminate on the date the request is received at the Home Office.

Net Cash Surrender Value - The Net Cash Surrender Value is the Cash Surrender
Value less any policy debt.

Cash Surrender Value - The Cash Surrender Value is the Accumulated Value less
any surrender charge.

Withdrawals - Withdrawals of the Net Cash Surrender Value may be taken as
follows:

Upon written request on or after the first policy anniversary while either
insured is living, you may withdraw a portion of the Net Cash Surrender Value of
this policy as a partial withdrawal. The Withdrawal Fee described above will
apply.

A partial withdrawal may cause a decrease in the Face Amount if the Death
Benefit Option is A or D.  The Face Amount will be reduced by the excess, if
any, of the Face Amount over the result of (a) minus (b) where:

     - (a) is the death benefit immediately prior to the partial withdrawal; and

     - (b) is the amount of the partial withdrawal.

However, for the first withdrawal in each of the first 15 policy years, the Face
Amount will be reduced only to the extent that the withdrawal exceeds the lesser
of $10,000 or 10% of the Cash Surrender Value.

Partial withdrawals will be subject to the following conditions:  The amount of
each withdrawal must be at least $500 and the Net Cash Surrender Value remaining
after each withdrawal must be at least $500.  Also, if there is any policy debt
at the time of each withdrawal, the amount of the withdrawal is limited to the
excess, if any, of the Cash Surrender Value immediately prior to the withdrawal
over the result of the debt divided by 90%.

The amount of each withdrawal will be allocated proportionately to the
Accumulated Value in the Fixed and Variable Accounts unless otherwise requested
by you.  If the survivor dies after the request for a withdrawal is sent to us
and prior to the withdrawal being paid, the amount of the withdrawal will be
deducted from the death benefit proceeds.

Unless specified otherwise by you in writing, no request for a partial
withdrawal will be processed if the partial withdrawal would cause the policy to
be treated as a MEC.

INCOME BENEFITS

Income Benefits - Surrender or withdrawal benefits may be used to purchase a
lifetime monthly income. Death benefits may be used to purchase a monthly income
for the lifetime of the beneficiary.  Monthly income payments will automatically
be guaranteed to continue for at least ten years, unless another form of payment
is requested.  Under the automatic form of payment, if the income recipient dies
before the end of the ten-year period, payments will continue to the end of the
ten-year period to a person designated by the income recipient in writing.

Other options of monthly income benefits are available upon request.  We may
require evidence of the income recipient's survival when monthly income payments
have been made for more than ten years.
<PAGE>
 
The purchase rates for the monthly income will be set periodically by the
Company. However, under the automatic form, the monthly income bought by each
$1000 of benefit amount will always be at least as large as that shown below.

Monthly income amounts for ages not shown are halfway between the two amounts
for the nearest two ages which are shown.

Guaranteed amounts for ages under 30 are the same as those for age 30;
guaranteed amounts for ages over 75 are the same as those for age 75. Amounts
shown are based on 1983 Table a mortality with interest at 3%. This benefit is
not available if the income would be less than $100 a month.

POLICY LOANS

Policy Loans - You may obtain loans by written request while this policy is in
force on the sole security of the amount in the Loan Account for this policy.

Amount Available - The amount available for a loan is equal to 100% of the
Accumulated Value in the Fixed Account plus 90% of the Accumulated Value in the
Variable Accounts, less any surrender charges that would be imposed if the
policy were surrendered on the date the loan is taken.  The amount of a loan
must be at least $500.

PM may defer a loan for up to six months from the date of request.  However, we
will not defer payment of any loan if it is to be used to pay the premium on any
policy currently in force and issued by the company.

Loan Interest - Interest will accrue daily and is payable in arrears at the
annual rate of:

     - 4.50% for years one through ten; and

     - 4.25% for years eleven and after.

Any loan interest not paid when due will be added to the loan principal and bear
interest at the same rate of interest.
<PAGE>
 
Loan Account - When a loan is taken, an amount equal to the loan is transferred
from the Fixed and Variable Accounts into the Loan Account to secure the loan.
Unless you request otherwise, loan amounts will be deducted from the Fixed and
Variable Accounts on a proportionate basis, up to the amount available. We will
credit interest monthly on amounts in the Loan Account at a rate equivalent to
an annual effective rate of 4%.

On each policy anniversary, if the amount in the Loan Account exceeds policy
debt, the excess will be transferred from the Loan Account to the Fixed and
Variable Accounts according to your most recent instructions. If policy debt
exceeds the amount in the Loan Account, an amount equal to such excess will be
transferred from the Fixed and Variable Accounts on a proportionate basis to the
Loan Account.

Repayment - Loans may be repaid at any time prior to lapse of this policy.  An
amount equal to the portion of any loan repaid, but not more than the amount in
the Loan Account, will be transferred from the Loan Account to the Fixed and
Variable Accounts according to your most recent instructions.

Any payment we receive from you while you have a loan will be first considered a
premium payment, unless you tell us in writing it is a loan payment.

GENERAL PROVISIONS

Entire Contract - This policy is a contract between the Owner and PM. This
policy, the attached copy of the initial application, any applications for
reinstatement, all subsequent applications to change the policy, any
endorsements, riders or benefits are the entire contract.

Only the Chief Executive Officer, President or Secretary of PM is permitted to
change this contract or waive any of its terms. The change must be in writing.

All statements in the application shall, in the absence of fraud, be deemed
representations and not warranties. PM will not use any statement to contest
this policy or defend a claim on grounds of misrepresentation unless the
statement is in the application or any subsequent applications.

Incontestability - Except for failure to pay premiums, this policy cannot be
contested after the expiration of the following time period:

     - The initial Face Amount cannot be contested with respect to a given
       insured after the policy has been in force during that insured's lifetime
       for two years from the policy date.

If this policy has been reinstated, it cannot be contested with respect to a
given insured after it has been in force during  that insured's lifetime for two
years from the date of reinstatement. Except for failure to pay premiums, in no
event will a contest be made after reinstatement unless there is a material
misrepresentation in the reinstatement application.

This policy will terminate upon successful contest with respect to either
insured.

Dividends - The current dividend scale is zero and it is not expected that
dividends will be paid.  Any dividends that do become payable will be paid in
cash annually.

Suicide Exclusion - If either insured dies by suicide, while sane or insane,
within two years of the policy date, no death benefit proceeds will be paid.
Instead, we will return the sum of the premiums paid, less the sum of any debt,
any partial withdrawal amounts, and any dividends paid by us in cash.
<PAGE>
 
Misstatement - If there is a misstatement of either insured's age or sex in the
application, the Face Amount shall be adjusted as follows in order to reflect
the correct age or sex.  The adjusted Face Amount shall equal (a) times (b)
divided by (c) where:

     (a) is the Face Amount before this adjustment;

     (b) is the monthly Cost of Insurance Rate actually used to calculate Cost
         of Insurance Charges in the policy year in which the misstatement is
         discovered, based on the misstated age or sex; and

     (c) is the monthly Cost of Insurance Rate for the policy year in which the
         misstatement is discovered, based on the correct age and sex.

For all policy months after the policy month in which the misstatement is
discovered, the Accumulated Value will be calculated using Cost of Insurance
Charges, Rider Charges and Benefit Charges based on the correct age and sex.
The Accumulated Value for the policy months through the month in which the
misstatement is discovered will not be recalculated.  Surrender Charges and
Mortality and Expense Risk Charges will not be recalculated.

If unisex Cost of Insurance Rates apply, no adjustment will be made for a
misstatement of sex.

Reports - A report will be mailed to you at the end of each policy quarter to
your last known address.  This report will include the following information for
the policy quarter:

     -the Accumulated Value;

     -the Cash Surrender Value;

     -the current death benefit;

     -transactions that occurred during the policy quarter;

     -existing debt;

     -changes in the Guideline Premiums;

     -surrender charges; and

     -any information required by law.

In addition to the above reports, we will send you annual financial statements
for the Separate Account and annual and semi-annual financial statements for the
designated investment company or companies in which the Separate Account
invests, the latter of which will include a list of the portfolio securities of
the investment company, as required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and/or
any other reports as required by federal securities law.

Policy Illustrations - Upon request we will give you an illustration of the
future benefits under this policy based upon both guaranteed and current cost
factor assumptions. However, if you ask us to do this more than once in any
policy year, we reserve the right to charge you a fee, not to exceed $25.00, for
this service.

Basis of Values - A detailed statement showing how values are determined has
been filed with the state insurance department.  No values are less than the
minimums required by the Standard Nonforfeiture Law and by the law in the state
in which this policy is delivered.  All guaranteed values and the guaranteed
maximum monthly Cost of Insurance Rates are based on the 1980 CSO Mortality
Table (ANB) and interest at the rate of 4% per year.  For policies that are
issued on a unisex basis, the 1980 CSO Mortality Table B (ANB) applies.
<PAGE>
 
Ownership of Assets - We have the exclusive and absolute control of our assets,
including all assets in the Separate Account.

Compliance - 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 Internal Revenue Code or any state.

We will provide you with a copy of any such change, and will also file such a
change with the insurance supervisory official of the state in which this policy
is delivered.  You have the right to refuse any such change.

PAYMENTS

Variable Accounts - We will calculate the Net Cash Surrender Value on surrender,
partial withdrawals, and loan proceeds based on allocations made to the Variable
Accounts, and unless transfers are restricted, transfers between Variable
Accounts or from Variable Accounts to the Fixed Account based on allocations
made to the Variable Accounts as of the end of the Valuation Date on or next
following the day on which such instructions are received.  We will calculate
death benefit proceeds based on allocations made to the Variable Accounts as of
the end of the Valuation Date on or next following the day on which the
survivor's death occurs.  We will pay such amounts and will effect a transfer
between Variable Accounts within seven days after we receive all the information
needed to process a payment or transfer.

However, we may postpone the calculation or payment of such a payment or
transfer of amounts based on investment performance of the Variable Accounts if:

     The New York Stock Exchange is closed on other than customary weekend and
     holiday closings or trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted as
     determined by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC); or

     An emergency exists, as determined by the SEC, as a result of which
     disposal of securities is not reasonably practicable to determine the value
     of the Account assets; or

     The SEC by order permits postponement for the protection of policy owners.

Fixed Account - As to amounts allocated to the Fixed Account, we may defer
payment of any Net Cash Surrender Value on surrender, partial withdrawals, or
loan amounts or defer transfers from the Fixed Account for up to six months
after we receive a request for it. We will credit interest, at a rate of at
least 4% annually, on any Net Cash Surrender Value or withdrawal benefit derived
from the Fixed Account that we defer for 30 days or more. However, we will not
defer payment of any such amounts if they are to be used to pay the premium on
any policy issued by the company.

SEPARATE ACCOUNT PROVISIONS

Separate Account - We established the Separate Account and maintain it under the
laws of California. The  separate Account is divided into subaccounts, called
Variable Accounts. Realized and unrealized gains and losses from the assets of
each Variable Account are credited or charged against it without regard to our
other income, gains, or losses. Assets may be put in our Separate Account to
support this policy and other variable life insurance policies. Assets may be
put in our Separate Account for other purposes, but not to support contracts or
policies other than variable life contracts or policies.
<PAGE>
 
The assets of our Separate Account are our property. The portion of its assets
equal to the reserves and other policy liabilities with respect to our Separate
Account will not be chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other
business we conduct. We may transfer assets of a Variable Account in excess of
the reserves and other liabilities with respect to that account to another
Variable Account or to our general account. All obligations arising under the
policy are general corporate obligations of Pacific Mutual. We do not hold
ourselves out to be trustees of the Separate Account assets.

Variable Accounts - Each Variable Account may invest its assets in a separate
class of shares of a designated investment company or companies. The Variable
Accounts of our Separate Account that were available for your initial
allocations, are shown on the policy specifications pages. The allocations that
you initially choose are shown on the copy of the application attached to this
Policy. From time to time we may make other Variable Accounts available to you.
We will provide you with written notice of all material details including
investment objectives and all charges.

We reserve the right, subject to compliance with the law then in effect, to:

     - change or add designated investment companies;

     - add, remove or combine Variable Accounts;

     - add, delete or make substitutions for the securities that are held or
       purchased by the Separate Account or any Variable Account;

     - register or deregister any Variable Account under the Investment Company
       Act of 1940;

     - to change the classification of any Variable Account;

     - operate any Variable Account as a managed investment company or as a unit
       investment trust;

     - combine the assets of any Variable Account with other separate accounts
       or subaccounts thereof of PM or an affiliate thereof;

     - transfer the assets of any Variable Account to other separate accounts or
       subaccounts thereof of PM or an affiliate thereof;

     - run any Variable Account under the direction of a committee, board, or
       other group;

     - restrict or eliminate any voting rights of policy owners with respect to
       any Variable Account, or other persons who have voting rights as to any
       Variable Account. Also, unless required by law or regulation, an
       investment policy may not be changed without our consent;

     - change the allocations permitted under the policy;

     - terminate and liquidate any Variable Account; and

     - comply with law.

If any of these changes result in a material change in the underlying
investments of a Variable Account of our Separate Account, we will notify you of
such change.

We will not change the investment policy of the Separate Account without
following the filing and other procedures of the Insurance Commissioner in the
State of California and without following the filing and other procedures
established by insurance regulators of the state of issue.

Accelerated Living Benefit Rider
<PAGE>
 
                        ACCELERATED LIVING BENEFIT RIDER

THIS RIDER IS ATTACHED TO AND MADE PART OF YOUR POLICY.

ISSUE DATE: _________________________________

POLICY NUMBER: ____________________________

AN ACCELERATED BENEFIT RECEIVED UNDER THIS RIDER MAY BE TAXABLE.  YOU SHOULD
CONSULT YOUR PERSONAL TAX ADVISOR PRIOR TO REQUESTING THIS BENEFIT.

ANY BENEFIT RECEIVED UNDER THIS RIDER MAY IMPACT YOUR ELIGIBILITY FOR MEDICAID
OR OTHER GOVERNMENT BENEFITS.

This rider is not meant to cause involuntary access to proceeds ultimately
payable to the beneficiary.  Therefore, this benefit is not available:

a) if either the owner or insured is required by law to use this benefit to meet
the claims of creditors, whether in bankruptcy or otherwise; or

b) if either the owner or insured is required by a government agency to use this
benefit in order to apply for, obtain or otherwise keep a government benefit or
entitlement.

ACCELERATED BENEFIT

The owner may elect to receive, while the insured is living, a portion of the
policy's proceeds.  We will pay an Accelerated Benefit if an insured has been
diagnosed with a non-correctable terminal illness and has a life expectancy of 6
months or less.

DEFINITIONS

ACCELERATED BENEFIT PAYMENT is the actual dollar amount of benefit you will
receive under this rider.

REQUESTED PORTION is the amount of the policy proceeds the owner requests.  The
Requested Portion divided by the Eligible Coverage will be called the Requested
Percentage.  The Requested Portion cannot exceed the lesser of a) 50% of the
Eligible Coverage, or b) $250,000 for all policies in force with us.

ELIGIBLE COVERAGE is the portion of the policy proceeds which will qualify for
determining the Accelerated Benefit under this rider.

The Eligible Coverage includes:

   - the base policy death benefit;

   - any paid-up additions; and

   - any term rider, term policy, or term coverage on the primary insured that
     has at least two years of coverage remaining. For coverage amounts that
     vary by year, the lowest coverage amount during the remaining two year
     period will be used.

   - Survivor Life policies will be eligible for acceleration only after the
     death of the first insured and the surviving insured has been diagnosed as
     terminally ill. Any term rider, term policy or term coverage on the
     surviving insured that has at least two years of coverage remaining, will
     be eligible for acceleration. For coverage amounts that vary by year, the
     lowest coverage amount during the remaining two year period will be used.

R92-ABR                                1
<PAGE>
 
Eligible Coverage does not include:

   - any insurance provided under the policy on the life of someone other than
     the insured;

   - the face amount of any scheduled increase(s) in insurance as provided by an
     additional benefit rider during the 12 month period after the date the
     accelerated payment is requested;

   - the amount of any accidental death benefit.

The minimum Accelerated Benefit Payment amount is $500.  The Accelerated Benefit
will be paid either in a lump sum or any other payment plan available at the
time of payment.  WE WILL PAY THE ACCELERATED BENEFIT AMOUNT ONLY ONCE PER
INSURED.  If a settlement option is selected and the insured dies before all
payments are made, the remaining amount will be paid to the beneficiary.

ACCELERATED BENEFIT PAYMENT

The Accelerated Benefit Payment will be determined as of the date we approve
your written request.  Your Accelerated Benefit Payment will equal the Requested
Portion less the following adjustments:

   1.  An actuarial discount will apply to the Requested Portion.  This
   discount reflects the early payment of the Requested Portion of your policy.
   The discount will be based on an annual interest rate declared by us and
   which is in effect as of the date we approve your written request.

   2. If there is a policy loan outstanding on your policy as of the date we
   approve your written request, we will reduce the Requested Portion in order
   to repay a portion of the outstanding policy loan equal to the Requested
   Percentage times the outstanding loan.

   3. A reduction to the Requested Portion will be applied to any premiums
   due and unpaid if the policy has entered the Grace Period at the time we
   approve your request.

   4. An administrative charge not to exceed $150.

We will refund the amounts discussed in 1. and 4. above should the death of the
Insured occur within 30 days of the Accelerated Benefit Payment.

IMPACT ON POLICY

After an Accelerated Benefit Payment is made, the policy and all riders will
remain in force subject to the following adjustments.  The policy death benefit,
any cash value, any paid-up additions, Accumulated Value, if any, and any term
insurance eligible to be accelerated under this rider, and any required premium
payments will be reduced by the Requested Percentage.  Any outstanding policy
loan will be reduced as specified in the Accelerated Benefit Payment Section.

Any adjustment in Accumulated Value will be allocated to the Fixed Account and
Variable Accounts on a prorata basis.  Cost of Insurance Charges will be
adjusted to reflect the reduction in the death benefit.

ELIGIBILITY

The following conditions must be met prior to any Accelerated Benefit Payment:

   - The policy must be in force on the date the Accelerated Benefit Payment is
     approved. If you have a term insurance policy or your policy is on Extended
     Term, a minimum period of two years of coverage must be remaining in order
     to qualify for an Accelerated Benefit Payment.

   - We must receive written proof satisfactory to us that the insured's or for
     Survivor Life policies the surviving insured's life-expectancy is 6 months
     or less from the date of the written request. Proof will include the
     certification by a licensed physician, who is not yourself or a member of
     your family. Such proof should include documentation supported by clinical,
     radiological or laboratory evidence of the condition. We reserve the right
     to obtain a second medical opinion from a physician of our choice at our
     expense.

Policy Split Option Rider














<PAGE>
 
                           POLICY SPLIT OPTION RIDER

BENEFIT - You may exchange this policy for two new individual policies, one on
each of the two insureds, subject to this rider's terms.

EXCHANGE CONDITIONS - To exercise this option, you must:

    - request the exchange in writing on a form that we will provide;

    - return the base policy; and

    - provide evidence of insurability satisfactory to us for both insureds.


A $200 Administrative Charge will be deducted from the Accumulated Value of the
base policy on the day prior to the Exchange Date.  This charge is to cover
expenses associated with the evaluation of the evidence of insurability.

We reserve the right to deduct a charge from the base policy's Accumulated Value
to cover PM's expenses arising from any state or federal taxes generated by the
exchange.

EXCHANGE DATE - The exchange will be effective on the Exchange Date, which is
the date all of the above exchange conditions are met.

NEW POLICIES - The exchange may be to any individual flexible premium adjustable
life policy that we regularly issue at the time of exchange, subject to our
approval.  The policy date of each of the two new individual policies will be
the Exchange Date.  The new policy on each insured will be based on that
insured's age and risk classification as of the Exchange Date.  The new policies
will only take effect once the original policy has terminated and will not
provide any insurance until such time.

The Accumulated Value less the Surrender Charge under the original policy on the
day prior to the Exchange Date will be divided and allocated to the two new
individual policies in proportion to their face amounts.  Any policy debt under
the original policy on the day prior to the Exchange Date will also be divided
and allocated to the new policies in proportion to their face amounts.  This
will result in the Cash Surrender Value of each new policy being equal to the
Cash Surrender Value in the original policy multiplied by the face amount of the
new policy and divided by the sum of the face amounts of the two new policies.

The face amount of each new individual policy may be for any amount you elect,
provided that the sum of the face amounts of the two now policies does not
exceed the sum, as of the Exchange Date, of the base policy's Death Benefit plus
the Coverage Amount under the Last Survivor Added Protection Benefit, if such
benefit is attached to the base policy.  Your signature of consent is required
if the face amounts of the two new individual policies are not equal.

Subject to our approval, riders or benefits may be added to the new policies
where available.

ASSIGNMENT - Any assignment of this policy will apply to each new individual
policy.

EFFECTIVE DATE - This rider is effective on the policy date unless otherwise
stated.

TERMINATION - Coverage under this rider will terminate on the earliest of:

    - your written request; or

    - the date that the first death of the two insureds occurs; or

    - termination of the base policy; or

    - the policy anniversary nearest the 80th birthday of the older of the two
      insureds; or

    - exercise of the option to exchange this policy under this rider.

GENERAL CONDITIONS - This rider is part of the base policy to which it is
attached.  All terms of the base policy which do not conflict with this rider's
terms apply to this rider.

In the event of any conflict between the terms of this rider and the terms of
the base policy, the terms of this rider shall prevail over the terms of the
base policy.

Last Survivor Added Protection Benefit (DRAFT)

<PAGE>
 
                     LAST SURVIVOR ADDED PROTECTION BENEFIT


COVERAGE - When we receive proof that the survivor's death occurred while this
benefit was in force, we will pay the Coverage Amount in effect, if any, under
this benefit on the date of the survivor's death.

COVERAGE AMOUNT - The Coverage Amount provided by this benefit in any policy
year is the amount you specified in the application for that policy year.  This
Coverage Amount is also shown in the policy specifications pages; such amount
may be level or varying by policy year.  Unscheduled increases or decreases in
the Coverage Amount may take place after the policy date as described below.

The initial Coverage Amount is the Coverage Amount on this benefit's effective 
date.

UNSCHEDULED INCREASE IN COVERAGE AMOUNT - You may request an unscheduled
increase in the Coverage Amount subject to the following conditions:

   - you provide evidence of insurability satisfactory to us for both insureds;

   - both insureds consent to the increase;

   - the effective date of the increase is after the first policy year;

   - no previous increase became effective during the same policy year;

   - the Coverage Amount is increased by at least $10,000; and

   - we receive your written request for the increase while this policy is in
     force.
     
The effective date of the unscheduled increase in the Coverage Amount will be
the first monthly payment date on or following the date all of the above
conditions are met.

An Administrative Charge of $200 will be deducted from the base policy's
Accumulated Value on the effective date of any unscheduled increase in the
Coverage Amount.  This charge is to cover expenses associated with the
evaluation of the evidence of insurability.

Upon approval of any unscheduled increase, we will issue a supplemental schedule
of coverage, which will include the following information:

   - the effective date of the increase in the Coverage Amount;

   - the amount of the increase;

   - each insured's risk classification for the increase; and 

   - the Guaranteed Maximum Monthly Cost of Insurance Rates applicable to the
     increase.
     
UNSCHEDULED DECREASE IN COVERAGE AMOUNT - You may request an unscheduled
decrease in the Coverage Amount subject to the following conditions:

   - you request the decrease while either or both insureds are living;

   - the effective date of the decrease is after the first policy year;

   - no previous decrease became effective during the same policy year; and

   - we receive your written request for the decrease while this policy is in
     force.
     
The effective date of the unscheduled decrease in the Coverage Amount will be
the first monthly payment date on or following the date all of the above
conditions are met.  The existing Coverage Amount will be decreased or
eliminated in the following order:

   - first, the most recent increase in the Coverage Amount;

R96-LSAPB                              1
<PAGE>
 
   - then, the next most recent increases successively; and

   - finally, the initial Coverage Amount.

In the case of a Coverage Amount that varies by policy year, any unscheduled
decrease in the Coverage Amount which you request for any policy year will
require equivalent decreases in the Coverage Amount for future policy years.
You will be informed of such equivalent future decreases, and your consent will
be obtained before your requested decrease becomes effective.

Upon approval of any unscheduled decrease, we will issue a supplemental schedule
of coverage, which will include the following information:

   - the effective date of the decrease in the Coverage Amount;

   - the amount of the decrease; and

   - the resulting Coverage Amount remaining in force after the decrease.

BENEFIT CHARGES - The monthly charge for this benefit is equal to the sum of the
Benefit Charges applicable to the following portions of the Coverage Amount:

   - initial Coverage Amount remaining in force for that month; plus

   - each increase in the Coverage Amount remaining in force for that month.

The Benefit Charge for each portion of the Coverage Amount noted above is
obtained by multiplying the applicable monthly Cost of Insurance Rate by the
appropriate portion of the Coverage Amount at the beginning of the policy month
divided by 1.00327374.

If there has been an unscheduled decrease in the Coverage Amount, see the
Unscheduled Decrease in Coverage Amount provision for a description of the order
in which the existing Coverage Amount has been decreased or eliminated.

COST OF INSURANCE RATES - The Cost of Insurance Rates for the initial Coverage
Amount are based on the policy duration and on the two insured's ages and risk
classifications on the policy date.  The Cost of Insurance Rates for each
increase in the Coverage Amount are based on the policy duration applicable to
the increase and on the two insured's ages and risk classifications on the
effective date of the increase.

The current monthly Cost of Insurance Rates will be determined by the
Company and are subject to change by us at any time, but will not exceed the
Guaranteed Maximum Monthly Cost of Insurance Rates for this benefit shown on the
policy specifications pages.  Any change in the current Cost of Insurance
Rates will apply uniformly for all pairs of insureds of the same ages, risk
classifications and policy duration under this benefit form.

The Cost of Insurance Rates used to calculate the Cost of Insurance Charges for
an increase in coverage necessary to meet the Guideline Minimum Death Benefit
will be the same as those used for the most recent Coverage Amount in force
under this benefit.

DEATH BENEFIT - The death benefit of the policy to which this benefit is
attached is modified to include the Coverage Amount under this benefit.  The
death benefit for this policy will be determined by the death benefit option
selected for the base policy and will be one of the following:

OPTION A - The death benefit is the greater of:

   - the base policy face amount plus this benefit Coverage Amount; or

   - the Guideline Minimum Death Benefit.

<PAGE>
 
OPTION B - The death benefit is the greater of:

   - the base policy face amount plus this benefit Coverage Amount, plus the
     Accumulated Value on the date of death; or

   - the Guideline Minimum Death Benefit.

OPTION C - The death benefit is the greater of:

   - the base policy face amount plus this benefit Coverage Amount, plus the sum
     of the premiums paid to date minus the sum of any partial withdrawals taken
     and any other distribution of the Accumulated Value to the date of death;
     or

   - the Guideline Minimum Death Benefit.

OPTION D - The death benefit is the greater of:

   - the result of the base policy face amount plus this benefit Coverage
     Amount, times the death benefit factor for the current policy year as shown
     on the policy specifications pages; or

   - the Guideline Minimum Death Benefit.


DECREASE/WITHDRAWALS

DECREASE - The Decrease provision of the policy to which this benefit is
attached is modified to include this benefit. This benefit will always be
decreased or eliminated before any decrease is applied to the base policy face
amount in effect on the policy date. For further details, please see the
Decrease provision of your contract.

WITHDRAWALS - The Withdrawals provision of the policy, to which this benefit is
attached, is modified to include this benefit. For the purpose of the

eliminated before any decrease is applied to the base policy face amount in
effect on the policy date. For details, please see the Withdrawals provision of
your contract.

stated.

   - termination of the base policy; or

   - upon the survivor's death.

GENERAL CONDITIONS - This benefit is part of the base policy to which it is
attached.  As applied to this benefit, the periods stated in the base policy's

effective date and any future increases in the Coverage Amount under this
benefit.  All terms of the base policy which do not conflict with this benefit's
terms apply to this benefit.

the base policy, the terms of this benefit shall prevail over the terms of the
base policy.

Individual Annual Renewable Term Rider (DRAFT)


<PAGE>
 
                     INDIVIDUAL ANNUAL RENEWABLE TERM RIDER

COVERED PERSON - As used in this rider, "Covered Person" means any of the
individuals covered under this rider on the policy date.  Covered Persons may be
deleted from or, with evidence of insurability satisfactory to us, added to this
rider.  When this occurs, we will send you revised policy specifications pages.
This rider is only available to the two insureds under the base policy.

COVERAGE - When we receive proof that a Covered Person's death occurred while
this rider was in force, we will pay the Face Amount in effect on that Covered
Person under this rider on the date of that Covered Person's death.

FACE AMOUNT - The Face Amount provided by this rider may be level or varying by
policy year and is shown on the policy specifications pages.  Unscheduled
increases or decreases in the Face Amount may take place after the policy date
as described below.

UNSCHEDULED INCREASE in FACE AMOUNT - You may request an unscheduled increase in
the Face Amount of this rider for any Covered Person subject to the following
conditions:

   - you provide evidence of insurability satisfactory to us for that Covered
     Person;

   - that Covered Person consents to the increase;

   - the effective date of the increase is after the first policy anniversary;

   - no previous increase has been effective during the same policy year;

   - the Face Amount is increased by at least $10,000; and

   - we receive your written request for the increase while this policy is in
     force.

The effective date of the unscheduled increase in the Face Amount will be the
first monthly payment date on or following the date all of the above conditions
are met.

An Administrative Charge of $100 will be deducted from the base policy's
Accumulated Value on the effective date of any unscheduled increase in the Face
Amount of this rider for any Covered Person.

This charge is to cover expenses associated with the evaluation of the evidence
of insurability.

Upon approval of any unscheduled increase, we will issue a supplemental schedule
of coverage, which will include the following information:

   - the effective date of the increase in the Face Amount;

   - the amount of the increase;

   - the risk classification for the increase; and

   - the Guaranteed Maximum Monthly Cost of Insurance Rates applicable to the
     increase.

UNSCHEDULED DECREASE IN FACE AMOUNT - You may request an unscheduled decrease in
the Face Amount of this rider for any Covered Person subject to the following
conditions:

   - you request the decrease while that Covered Person is living;

   - the effective date of the decrease is after the first policy year;

   - we receive your written request for the decrease while this policy is in
     force; and

   - no previous decrease has been effective in the same policy year.

The effective date of the unscheduled decrease in the Face Amount will be the
first monthly payment date on or following the date all of the above conditions
are met.  The existing Face Amount will be decreased or eliminated in the
following order:

   - first, the most recent increase in the Face Amount on that Covered Person;

R96-ART                                1
<PAGE>
 
   - second, the next most recent increases on that Covered Person successively;
     and

   - finally, the initial Face Amount on that Covered Person.

In the case of a Face Amount that varies by policy year, any unscheduled
decrease in the Face Amount which you request for any policy year will require
associated decreases in the Face Amount for future policy years. You will be
informed of such associated future decreases, and your consent will be obtained
before your requested decrease becomes effective.

Upon approval of any unscheduled decrease, we will issue a supplemental schedule
of coverage, which will include the following information:

   - the effective date of the decrease in the Face Amount; and

   - the amount of the decrease; and 

   - the resulting Face Amount remaining in force after the decrease.


RIDER CHARGES - The monthly charge for this rider is calculated separately for
each Covered Person.  The monthly charge for each Covered Person is equal to the
sum of the Rider Charges applicable to the following portions of the Face
Amount:

   - the portion of the initial Face Amount on that Covered Person remaining in
     force for that month; plus

   - any portion of each increase in the Face Amount on that Covered Person
     remaining in force for that month.


The Rider Charge for each portion of the Face Amount noted above is obtained by
multiplying the applicable monthly Cost of Insurance Rate by the appropriate
Face Amount.

If there has been an unscheduled decrease in the Face Amount, see the
Unscheduled Decrease in Face Amount provision for a description of the order in
which the existing Face Amount has been decreased or eliminated.

COST OF INSURANCE RATES - The Cost of Insurance Rates for the initial Face
Amount are based on each Covered Person's age and risk classification on the
policy date.  The Cost of Insurance Rates for each increase in the Face Amount
are based on each Covered Person's age and risk classification on the effective
date of the increase.

The nonguaranteed monthly Cost of Insurance Rates will be determined by the
Company and are subject to change by us at any time, but will not exceed the
Guaranteed Maximum Monthly Cost of Insurance Rates for this rider shown on the
policy specifications pages.  Any change in the nonguaranteed Cost of Insurance
Rates will apply uniformly for all insureds of the same age and risk
classification under this rider form.

RENEWAL - Coverage under this rider is renewable annually until terminated as
described below under the Termination provision.

EFFECTIVE DATE - This rider is effective on the policy date unless otherwise
stated.

TERMINATION - Coverage under this rider will terminate for all Covered Persons
on the earlier of:

   - your written request; or

   - termination of the base policy.

In addition, coverage under this rider on any individual Covered Person will
terminate on the earlier of:

   - death of that Covered Person; or

   - the date that Covered Person reaches age 100.

GENERAL CONDITIONS This rider is part of the base policy to which it is
attached.  As applied to this rider, the periods stated in the base policy's
Incontestability and Suicide Exclusion provisions will start with this rider's
effective date and the date of any future increases in Face Amount under this
rider.  All terms of the base policy which do not conflict with this rider's
terms apply to this rider.

In the event of any conflict between the terms of this rider and the terms of

Enhanced Policy Split Option Rider (DRAFT)

<PAGE>
 
                       ENHANCED POLICY SPLIT OPTION RIDER

BENEFIT - While both insureds under the base policy are living, you may exchange
this policy for two new individual policies, one on each of the two insureds,
subject to this rider's terms.  Evidence of insurability will not be required to
exercise this option.

EXCHANGE CONDITIONS - To exercise this option, you must request the exchange in
writing on a form that we will provide, and you must return the base policy
within 90 days after a change in the Federal Estate Tax Law which results in any
of the following:

     1.  complete removal or material limitation of . the Unlimited Marital
     Deduction, as defined in the Internal Revenue Code. A material limitation
     is defined as one which meets at least one of the following two conditions:
 
         a. if the limitation is expressed as a percentage of the estate, the
         limitation must cap the Unlimited Marital Deduction at 50"/'o or less
         of the value of the estate;

         b. if the limitation is expressed as a dollar amount, the limitation
         must cap the Unlimited Marital deduction at an amount which is less
         than the base policy face amount plus any Target Amount under the Last
         Survivor Added Protection Benefit. if such benefit is attached to the
         base policy.

     2.  reduction by 50% or more in the dollar amount of the Federal Unified
     Credit, as defined in the Internal Revenue Code; or

     3.  subtraction of 25% or more from the percentage Federal Estate Tax rate
     that would be applicable to the estate of the surviving spouse.

We reserve the right to deduct a charge from the base policy's Accumulated Value
to cover PM's expenses arising from any state -or federal taxes generated by
the,exchange.

EXCHANGE DATE - The exchange will be effective on the Exchange Date, which is
the date all of the above Exchange Conditions are met.

NEW POLICIES - The exchange may be to any individual flexible premium adjustable
life policy that we regularly issue at the time of exchange, subject to our
approval.  The policy date of each of the two new individual policies will be
the Exchange Date.  The new policy on each insured will be based on that
insured's age as of the Exchange Date, and risk classification as of the date of
the most recent increase in any rider face amount or benefit target amount, or
if there has been no such increase, as of the policy date.  The new policies
will only take effect once the original policy has terminated and will not
provide any insurance until such time.

If either insured's risk classification under this policy is select nonsmoker
and you exchange to a policy that does not have the select nonsmoker risk
classification, the new policy will be issued as nonsmoker.

The Accumulated Value less the Surrender Charge under the original policy on the
day prior to the Exchange Date will be divided and allocated to the two new
individual policies in proportion to their face amounts.  Any pol icy debt under
the original policy on the day prior to the Exchange Date will also be divided
and allocated to the new policies in proportion to their face amounts.  This
will result in the Cash Surrender Value of each new policy being equal to the
Cash Surrender Value in the original policy multiplied by the face amount of the
new policy and divided by the sum of the face amounts of the two new policies.

The face amount of each new individual policy may be for any amount you elect,
up to one half of the sum as of the Exchange Date of the base policy's Death
Benefit plus the Coverage Amount under the Last Survivor Added Protection
Benefit, if such benefit is attached to the base policy.  Your signature of
consent is required if the face amounts of the two new individual policies are
not equal.

R96-EPSO                            Page 1
<PAGE>
 
Subject to availability, riders or benefits may be continued or may be added to
the new policies only upon the provision of evidence of insurability
satisfactory to us.

SUICIDE EXCLUSION AND INCONTESTABILITY - The Suicide Exclusion and
Incontestability provisions will not apply to the new policies provided that
they have expired under the original policy.

If these provisions have not expired under the original policy, the time
remaining under these provisions will be transferred to each new policy.

Any new riders or new benefits added to the new policies will be subject to the
Suicide Exclusion and Incontestability provisions of the base policies.

ASSIGNMENT - Any assignment of this policy will apply to each new individual
policy.

EFFECTIVE DATE - This rider is effective on the policy date.

Termination - Coverage under this rider will terminate on the earliest of:

     - your written request; or

     - the date that the first death of the two insureds occurs under this
       policy; or

     - termination of the base policy; or

     - the policy anniversary nearest the 80th birthday of the older of the two
       insureds; or

     - exercise of the option to exchange this policy under this rider.

GENERAL CONDITIONS - This rider is part of the base policy to which it is
attached.  All terms of the base policy which do not conflict with this rider's
terms apply to this rider.

In the event of any conflict between the terms of this rider and the terms of
the base policy, the terms of this rider shall prevail over the terms of the
base policy.

WHEREAS, the Fund is available to offer shares of one or more of its series to
separate accounts of insurance companies that fund variable life insurance

WHEREAS, the Fund has obtained an order from the SEC granting Participating

variable life insurance contracts of both affiliated and unaffiliated life

Separate Accounts or the appropriate subaccounts of the Separate Accounts.

Fund in accordance with the applicable provisions of the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act,
the 1940 Act, the NASD Rules of Fair Practice, and state law.

3.9.  A majority of the Board of Trustees of the Fund shall consist of persons
who are not "interested persons" of the Fund ("disinterested Trustees"), as
defined by Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act, except that if this provision of
this Section 3.9 is not met by reason of the death, disqualification, or bona
fide resignation of any Trustee or Trustees, then the operation of this
provision shall be suspended (a) for a period of 45 days if the vacancy or
vacancies may be filled by the Fund's Board; (b) for a period of 60 days if a
vote of shareholders is required to fill the vacancy or vacancies; or (c) for
such longer period as the SEC may prescribe by order upon application.

3.10.  The Company agrees to provide, as promptly as possible, notice to the
Fund and to the Distributor if the Company has reason to know about a meeting of
some or all of the owners of the Variable Contracts or shareholders of the Fund,
where the agenda or purpose of the meeting relates, in whole or in part, to the
Fund and that has not been called by the Fund's Board of Trustees (and which
shall not include a vote of Variable Contract Owners having an interest in a
Separate Account to substitute shares of another investment company for
corresponding shares of the Fund or a Series, as described in Section 9(e) and
to which the notice provision of Section 9.2 shall apply).  In such an event,
the Company agrees to distribute proxy statements and any additional
solicitation materials upon the request of the Fund or the Distributor to the
owners of the Variable Contracts issued by the Company at least 30 days prior to
the meeting.  The Company further agrees that it shall take no action, directly
or indirectly, in furtherance of shareholders of the Fund or Contract Owners
taking any action with respect to the Fund by written consent and without a
meeting.

3.11.  Each party hereto shall cooperate with each other party and all
appropriate governmental authorities having jurisdiction (including, without

such authorities reasonable access to its books and records in connection with
any investigation or inquiry relating to this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated hereby.

ARTICLE IV.  Potential Conflicts

4.1.  The Fund's Board of Trustees shall monitor the Fund for the existence of
any material irreconcilable conflict (1) between the interests of owners of
variable annuity contracts and variable

                                       5
<PAGE>
 
life insurance policies, and (2) between the interests of owners of Variable
Contracts ("Variable Contract Owners") issued by different Participating
Insurance Companies that invest in the Fund. An irreconcilable material conflict
may arise for a variety of reasons, including:  (a) an action by any state
insurance regulatory authority; (b) a change in applicable federal or state
insurance, tax, or securities laws or regulations, or a public ruling, private
letter ruling, no-action or interpretive letter, or any similar action by
insurance, tax, or securities regulatory authorities; (c) an administrative or
judicial decision in any relevant proceeding; (d) the manner in which the
investments of the Fund or any Series are being managed; or (e) a decision by a
Participating Insurance Company to disregard the voting instructions of Variable
Contract Owners.

4.2.  The Company agrees that it shall be responsible for reporting any
potential or existing conflicts to the Fund's Board of Trustees.  The Company
will be responsible for assisting the Board of Trustees of the Fund in carrying
out its responsibilities under this agreement, by providing the Board with all
information reasonably necessary for the Board to consider any issues raised.
This includes, but is not limited to, an obligation by the Company to inform the
Board whenever Variable Contract Owner voting instructions are disregarded.  The
Company shall carry out its responsibility under this Section 4.2 with a view
only to the interests of the Variable Contract Owners.

4.3.  The Company agrees that in the event that it is determined by a majority
of the Board of Trustees of the Fund or a majority of the Fund's disinterested
Trustees that a material irreconcilable conflict exists, the Company shall, to
the extent reasonably practicable (as determined by a majority of the
disinterested Trustees of the Board of the Fund), take whatever steps are
necessary to eliminate the irreconcilable material conflict, including: (1)
withdrawing the assets allocable to some or all of the Separate Accounts from
the Fund or any Series and reinvesting such assets in a different investment
medium, which may include another series of the Fund, or submitting the question
of whether such segregation should be implemented to a vote of all affected
Variable Contract Owners and, as appropriate, segregating the assets of any
appropriate group (i.e., Contract Owners of Variable Contracts issued by one or
more Participating Insurance Companies) that votes in favor of such segregation,
or offering to the affected Variable Contract Owners the option of making such a
change; and (2) establishing a new registered management investment company or
managed separate account.  If a material irreconcilable conflict arises because
of the Company's decision to disregard Variable Contract Owners' voting
instructions and that decision represents a minority position or would preclude
a majority vote, the Company shall be required, at the Fund's election, to
withdraw the Separate Accounts' investment in the Fund, and no charge or penalty
will be imposed as a result of such withdrawal.  The Fund shall neither be
required to bear the costs of remedial actions taken to remedy a material
irreconcilable conflict nor shall it be requested to pay a higher investment
advisory fee for the sole purpose of covering such costs.  In addition, no
Variable Contract Owner shall be required directly or indirectly to bear the
direct or indirect costs of remedial actions taken to remedy a material
irreconcilable conflict.  A new funding medium for any Variable Contract need
not be established pursuant to this Section 4.3, if an offer to do so has been
declined by vote of a majority of Variable Contract Owners materially adversely
affected by the irreconcilable material conflict.  All reports received by the
Fund's Board of Trustees of potential or existing conflicts, and all Board
action with regard to determining the existence of a conflict, notifying
Participating Insurance Companies and the Fund's investment adviser of a
conflict, and determining whether any proposed action adequately remedies a
conflict, shall be properly recorded

                                       6
<PAGE>
 
in the minutes of the Board of Trustees of the Fund or other appropriate
records, and such minutes or other records shall be made available to the SEC
upon request.  The Company and the Fund shall carry out their responsibilities
under this Section 4.3 with a view only to the interests of the Variable
Contract Owners.

4.4.  The Board of Trustees of the Fund shall promptly notify the Company in
writing of its determination of the existence of an irreconcilable material
conflict and its implications.

ARTICLE V.    Prospectuses and Proxy Statements; Voting

5.1.  The Company shall distribute such prospectuses, proxy statements and
periodic reports of the Fund to the owners of Variable Contracts issued by the
Company as required to be distributed to such Variable Contract Owners under
applicable federal or state law.

5.2.  The Distributor shall provide the Company with as many copies of the
current prospectus of the Fund as the Company may reasonably request.  If
requested by the Company in lieu thereof, the Fund shall provide such
documentation (including a final copy of the Fund's prospectus as set in type or
in camera-ready copy) and other assistance as is reasonably necessary in order
for the Company to print together in one document the current prospectus for the
Variable Contracts issued by the Company and the current prospectus for the
Fund.  The Fund shall bear the expense of printing copies of its current
prospectus that will be distributed to existing Variable Contract Owners, and
the Company shall bear the expense of printing copies of the Fund's prospectus
that are used in connection with offering the Variable Contracts issued by the
Company.

5.3.  The Fund and the Distributor shall provide (1) at the Fund's expense, one
copy of the Fund's current Statement of Additional Information ("SAI") to the
Company and to any owner of a Variable Contract issued by the Company who
requests such SAI, (2) at the Company's expense, such additional copies of the
Fund's current SAI as the Company shall reasonably request and that the Company
shall require in accordance with applicable law in connection with offering the
Variable Contracts issued by the Company.

5.4.  The Fund, at its expense, shall provide the Company with copies of its
proxy material, periodic reports to shareholders and other communications to
shareholders in such quantity as the Company shall reasonably require for
purposes of distributing to owners of Variable Contracts issued by the Company.
The Fund, at the Company's expense, shall provide the Company with copies of its
periodic reports to shareholders and other communications to shareholders in
such quantity as the Company shall reasonably request for use in connection with
offering the Variable Contracts issued by the Company.  If requested by the
Company in lieu thereof, the Fund shall provide such documentation (including a
final copy of the Fund's proxy materials, periodic reports to shareholders and
other communications to shareholders, as set in type or in camera-ready copy)
and other assistance as reasonably necessary in order for the Company to print
such shareholder communications for distribution to owners of Variable Contracts
issued by the Company.

5.5.  For so long as the SEC interprets the 1940 Act to require pass-through
voting by Participating Insurance Companies whose Separate Accounts are
registered as investment companies under the

                                       7
<PAGE>
 
1940 Act, the Company shall vote shares of each Series of the Fund held in a
Separate Account or a subaccount thereof, whether or not registered under the
1940 Act, at regular and special meetings of the Fund in accordance with
instructions timely received by the Company (or its designated agent) from
owners of Variable Contracts funded by such Separate Account or subaccount
thereof having a voting interest in the Series.  The Company shall vote shares
of a Series of the Fund held in a Separate Account or a subaccount thereof that
are attributable to the Variable Contracts as to which no timely instructions
are received, as well as shares held in such Separate Account or subaccount
thereof that are not attributable to the Variable Contracts and owned
beneficially by the Company (resulting from charges against the Variable
Contracts or otherwise), in the same proportion as the votes cast by owners of
the Variable Contracts funded by that Separate Account or subaccount thereof
having a voting interest in the Series from whom instructions have been timely
received.  The Company shall vote shares of each Series of the Fund held in its
general account, if any, in the same proportion as the votes cast with respect
to shares of the Series held in all Separate Accounts of the Company or
subaccounts thereof, in the aggregate.

5.6.  The Fund shall disclose in its prospectus that (1) shares of the Series of
the Fund are offered to affiliated or unaffiliated insurance company separate
accounts which fund both annuity and life insurance contracts, (2) due to
differences in tax treatment or other considerations, the interests of various
Variable Contract Owners participating in the Fund or a Series might at some
time be in conflict, and (3) the Board of Trustees of the Fund will monitor for
any material conflicts and determine what action, if any, should be taken.  The
Fund hereby notifies the Company that prospectus disclosure may be appropriate
regarding potential risks of offering shares of the Fund to separate accounts
funding both variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies and
to separate accounts funding Variable Contracts of unaffiliated life insurance
companies.

ARTICLE VI.  Sales Material and Information

6.1.  The Company shall furnish, or shall cause to be furnished, to the Fund or
its designee, each piece of sales literature or other promotional material in

6.2.  The Company agrees that neither it nor any of its affiliates or agents
shall give any information or make any representations or statements on behalf

such registration statement and prospectus may be amended or supplemented from
time to time, or in reports or proxy statements for the Fund, or in sales

6.4.  The Fund and the Distributor agree that each and the affiliates and agents
of each shall not give any information or make any representations on behalf of

contained in a registration statement or prospectus for such Variable Contracts,
as such registration statement and prospectus may be amended or supplemented
from time to time, or in reports for the Separate Accounts or prepared for
distribution to owners of such Variable Contracts, or in sales literature or
other promotional material approved by the Company or its designee, except with
the permission of the Company.

6.5.  The Fund will provide to the Company at least one complete copy of all
prospectuses, Statements of Additional Information, reports, proxy statements
and other voting solicitation materials, and all amendments and supplements to
any of the above, that relate to the Fund or its shares, promptly after the
filing of such document with the SEC or other regulatory authorities.

the 1933 Act), Statements of Additional Information, reports, solicitations for
voting instructions, and all amendments or supplements to any of the above, that

promptly after the filing of such document with the SEC or other regulatory
authority.

promotional material" includes, but is not limited to, advertisements (such as

losses, claims, damages, liabilities (including amounts paid in settlement with
the written consent of the Company) or litigation expenses (including legal and
other expenses), to which the Indemnified Parties may become subject under any
statute, regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or litigation expenses are related to the sale or
acquisition of the Fund's shares or the Variable Contracts issued by the Company
and:

(i) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of any material

                                       9
<PAGE>
 
fact contained in the registration statement or prospectus (which shall include

any of the foregoing), or arise out of or are based upon the omission or the
alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, provided that this
agreement to indemnify shall not apply as to any Indemnified Party if such
statement or omission or such alleged statement or omission was made in reliance
upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company by or on behalf
of the Fund for use in the registration statement or prospectus for the Variable
Contracts issued by the Company or sales literature (or any amendment or
supplement) or otherwise for use in connection with the sale of such Variable

shall have notified the Company in writing within a reasonable time after the
summons or other first legal process giving information of the nature of the

against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities (including amounts paid

omission was made in reliance upon information furnished to the Company by or on
behalf of the Fund;

<PAGE>
 
7.2(b).  The Distributor shall not be liable under this indemnification
provision with respect to any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or litigation
expenses to which an Indemnified Party would otherwise be subject by reason of

provision with respect to any claim made against the Indemnified Party unless

(DETACH-LEAVE WITH APPLICANT)

                 DISCLOSURE NOTICE TO APPLICANTS FOR INSURANCE

This brief description of our underwriting process is designed to help you to 
understand how an application for insurance is handled, the types and sources of
information we may collect about you, the circumstances under which we may 
disclose that information to others and your right to learn the nature and 
substance of that information upon written request. The purpose of the 
underwriting process is to make sure you qualify for insurance under Pacific 
Mutual's rules, and assuming you do, establish the proper premium charge for 
that insurance. This process - the evaluation of risks - assures that the cost 
of insurance is distributed equitably among all policyowners, and that each 
individual pays his or her fair share. To determine your insurability, we must 
consider such factors as your medical history, physical condition, occupation 
and hazardous avocations. We get this information from various sources.

                            SOURCES OF INFORMATION

Application and Medical Records - Your application, including the medical 
history, is the primary source of information in the evaluation process. In 
addition, we may ask you to take a physical examination or other special test 
such as an electrocardiogram. We may also ask for a report from your doctor or 
hospital, another insurance company, or the Medical Information Bureau. When we 
do so, we will use the authorization form you signed with your application.

MIB, Inc., (Medical Information Bureau) - MIB, Inc., is a non-profit corporation
which operates an information exchange on behalf of member life insurance
companies. As a member company, we will ask the MIB if it has a record
concerning you. If you previously applied to a member company for insurance, MIB
may have information about you in its file. The purpose of the MIB is to protect
member companies and their policyowners from those who would conceal significant
facts relevant to their insurability. The information which is obtained from MIB
may be used only as an alert to the possible need for further independent
investigation. It cannot be used as a basis in making a final underwriting
decision.

Information regarding your insurability will be treated as confidential. Pacific
Mutual, its subsidiaries or its reinsurer(s) may, however, make a brief report 
to the MIB. If you later apply to another MIB member company for life or health 
insurance coverage, or a claim for benefits is submitted to such a company, the 
MIB, upon request, will supply the company with the information it may have 
about you in its file. Pacific Mutual, its subsidiaries or its reinsurer(s) may 
also release information in its file to other life insurance companies to whom 
you may apply for life or health insurance, or to whom a claim for benefits may 
be submitted.

At your request, the MIB will arrange disclosure of any information it may have 
about you in its file. If you question the accuracy of information on file, you 
may contact the MIB and seek a correction in accordance with the procedures set 
forth in the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act. The address of the information 
office of MIB, Inc. is Post Office Box 105, Essex Station, Boston, Massachusetts
02112, telephone number (617) 426-3660.

Investigative Consumer Report - As part of our underwriting procedure, we may 
request an investigative consumer report from a consumer reporting agency. 
Because you may want to know more about the nature and scope of such a report, 
we are providing this information on the reverse side as part of this Notice.


                          (Continued on reverse side)

AP9500                                                         15-19503-00 10/95

           DISCLOSURE NOTICE TO APPLICANTS FOR INSURANCE (continued)

A consumer report confirms and supplements the information on your application 
pertaining to employment and residence verification, smoking habits, marital 
status, occupation, hazardous avocations and general health. This report may 
also cover information concerning your general reputation, personal 
characteristics and mode of living, (except as may be related directly or 
indirectly to your sexual orientation) including drug and alcohol use, motor 
vehicle driving record and any criminal activity. This information may be 
obtained through personal interviews with you, your family, friends, neighbors 
and business associates. If a report is required and you wish to be personally 
interviewed, please let us know and we will notify the consumer reporting 
agency.

The information contained in the report may be retained by the consumer 
reporting agency and subsequently disclosed to other companies to the extent 
permitted by the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

Investigative consumer reports are held in strict confidence and used only to 
evaluate your application on a fair and equitable basis. You have a right to 
inspect and obtain a copy of the report from the consumer reporting agency. 
These reports may have an adverse affect on an individual's eligibility for 
insurance. If it should, however, we will notify you in writing and identify 
the reporting agency.

                             DISCLOSURE TO OTHERS

Personal information obtained about you during the underwriting process is 
confidential and will not be disclosed to other persons or organizations without
your written authorization except to the extent necessary for the conduct of our
business. Examples of situations where we may share information about you are as
follows:

    1.  The agent may retain a copy of your application.

    2.  If reinsurance is required, the reinsurance company would have access to
        our application file.

    3.  We may release information to another life insurance company to whom you
        have applied for life or health insurance or to whom you have submitted
        a claim for benefits, if you have authorized it to obtain such
        information.

    4.  As stated earlier, we may report information to the Medical Information
        Bureau.

    5.  We will disclose information to government regulatory officials, law
        enforcement authorities and others where required by law.

                               DISCLOSURE TO YOU

In general, you have a right to learn the nature and substance of any personal 
information about you in our file upon written request. Whenever an adverse 
underwriting decision is made, we will notify you of the reason(s) for the 
decision and the source of the information upon which our action is based. 
Medical record information, however, will normally be given only to a licensed 
physician of your choice. Please refer to the section on MIB, Inc., for that 
organization's disclosure procedure.

Should you feel that any information we have is inaccurate or incomplete, please
write to the Manager, Risk Selection Department, Pacific Mutual Life Insurance 
Company, 700 Newport Center Drive, Newport Beach, California 92660. Your 
comments will be carefully considered and corrections made where justified.

We hope this Notice will help you to understand how we obtain and use personal 
information in the underwriting process, and the ways you can learn about this 
information. We are concerned with insuring privacy as well as lives, and the 
collection, use and disclosure of personal information is limited to those 
specified in this Notice.

   then true.

   type and amount of insurance, benefits, classification or age at issue, must be accepted in writing.

March 12, 1996



Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Company
700 Newport Center Drive
Post Office Box 9000
Newport Beach, California  92660

Dear Sirs:

In my capacity as Senior Vice-President and General Counsel of Pacific Mutual
Life Insurance Company ("Pacific Mutual") I, or attorneys employed by Pacific
Mutual under my general supervision, have supervised the establishment of
Pacific Select Exec Separate Account of Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Company
which has been authorized by resolutions of the Board of Directors of Pacific
Mutual adopted November 20, 1986 and November 22, 1989 and Memoranda dated
May 12, 1988 and July 26, 1993 concerning Pacific Select Exec Separate Account
as the separate account for assets applicable to Select Estate Preserver Last
Survivor Flexible Premium Variable Life Insurance Policies ("Policies"),
pursuant to the provisions of Section 10506 of the Insurance Code of the State
of California.  Moreover, I have been associated with the preparation of the
Registration Statement on Form S-6 ("Registration Statement") filed by Pacific
Mutual and Pacific Select Exec Separate Account with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (File No. 33-57908 and File No. 811-5563), under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, for the registration of interests in the Pacific Select
Exec Separate Account funding the Policies.

I have made such examination of the law and examined such corporate records and
such other documents as in my judgment are necessary and appropriate to enable
me to render the following opinion that:

1. Pacific Mutual has been duly organized under the laws of the State of
California and is a validly existing corporation.

2. Pacific Select Exec Separate Account is duly created and validly existing as
a separate account, pursuant to the aforesaid provisions of California law.

3. The portion of the assets to be held in Pacific Select Exec Account equal to
the reserves and other liabilities under the Policies is not chargeable with
liabilities arising out of any other business Pacific Mutual may conduct,
pursuant to the aforesaid provision of California law.

<PAGE>


4. The Policies have been duly authorized by Pacific Mutual and, when issued as
contemplated by the Registration Statement, will constitute legal, validly
issued and binding obligations of Pacific Mutual, except as limited by
bankruptcy and insolvency laws effecting the rights of creditors generally.

I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement.
 
Very truly yours,



David R. Carmichael
Senior Vice President and
General Counsel

Memorandum Describing Issuance, Transfer and Redemption Procedures
<PAGE>
 
                    PACIFIC MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY'S
                DESCRIPTION OF ISSUANCE, TRANSFER AND REDEMPTION
                      PROCEDURES FOR POLICIES PURSUANT TO
                            RULE 6e-3(T)(b)(12)(iii)


     This document sets forth the administrative procedures that will be
followed by Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Company ("Pacific Mutual") in
connection with the issuance of its Pacific Select Estate Preserver Flexible
Premium Joint Survivorship Variable Life Insurance Policy ("Policy"), the
transfer of assets held under the Policies, and the redemption by Policy owners
of their interests in said Policies.

I.   PURCHASE AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

     A.   Premium Schedules and Underwriting Standards
          --------------------------------------------

     The Policy is a flexible premium joint survivorship variable life insurance
policy.  The Policy provides lifetime insurance protection on the lives of two
insureds named in the Policy, with a death benefit payable when the last
surviving insured dies while the Policy is in force.  A Policy owner may elect
one of four options to calculate the amount of death benefit payable under the
Policy.  The Policy will be offered and sold pursuant to an established
mortality structure and underwriting standards in accordance with state
insurance laws which prohibit unfair discrimination among Policy owners, but
allow cost of insurance rates to be based upon factors such as age, health or
occupation.

     The minimum initial premium to purchase a Policy must be equal to at least
25% of the sum of the Policy's monthly deductions plus premium load for the
first year, which will be based upon the Policy's face amount and the age,
smoking status, gender, and underwriting classes of the Insureds.  Thereafter, a
Policy owner may choose the amount and frequency of premium payments. Pacific
Mutual may reduce the minimum initial premium required under certain
circumstances.

     B.   Application and Initial Premium Processing
          ------------------------------------------

     Upon receipt of a completed application for a Policy, Pacific Mutual will
follow certain insurance underwriting (i.e., evaluation of risk) procedures
                                       ---
designed to determine whether the proposed insureds are insurable.  This process
may involve verification procedures and may require that further information be
provided by the applicant before a determination can be made.  Pacific Mutual
will first become obligated under a Policy when the total initial premium is
received or on the date the application is accepted by Pacific Mutual, whichever
is later.

     After the Policy is issued, insurance coverage under the Policy will be
deemed to have begun as of the Policy date.  The Policy date is usually the date
the premium is received at Pacific Mutual's home office, or, if later, the date
the application is accepted.  The Policy date is the date used to determine
Policy years, Policy months, and Policy monthly, quarterly, semi-annual and
annual anniversaries.

                                       1
<PAGE>
 
     C.   Additional Premium Payments
          ---------------------------

     The Policy is a flexible premium policy, and it provides flexibility to pay
premiums at the Policy owner's discretion.  When applying for a Policy, a Policy
owner will determine an planned periodic premium that provides for the payment
of level premiums of fixed intervals over a specified period of time. Each
Policy owner will receive a premium reminder notice on either an annual, semi-
annual, or quarterly basis, at the option of the Policy owner; however, the
Policy owner is not required to pay planned periodic premiums.

     Payment of the planned periodic premium will not guarantee that a Policy
will remain in force.  Instead, the duration of the Policy depends upon the
Policy's accumulated value.  Even if planned periodic premiums are paid, the
Policy will lapse any time accumulated value less Policy debt is insufficient to
pay the current monthly deduction and a grace period expires without sufficient
payment.  Any premium payment must be for at least $50.00.  Pacific Mutual also
may reject or limit any premium payment that would result in an immediate
increase in the net amount at risk under the Policy, although such a premium may
be accepted with satisfactory evidence of insurability.

     D.   Premium Allocation
          ------------------

     A Policy owner may allocate net premiums among the variable accounts and/or
the fixed account.  When an application is approved and a Policy is issued, the
Accumulated Value will be automatically allocated according to the Policy
owner's instructions in the application or more recent instructions if any
(except for amounts allocated to the Loan Account to secure any Debt). The
initial allocation must be made in the application for the Policy.  For
residents of states that requires a refund of premium, during the free-look
period (a limited period of time during which the Policy owner may return and
cancel the Policy for a full refund of premiums paid (Free Look Right)), all net
premiums are allocated to the Money Market Variable Account.  The accumulated
value is allocated according to the Policy owner's instructions the later of 15
days after the Policy is issued or 45 days after the application is signed, or
if longer, upon receipt of the minimum initial premium (the Free Look Transfer
Date).

     Additional net premium payments will be allocated among the investment
alternatives according to the Policy owner's instructions (after the Free-Look
Transfer Date if the owner resides in a state that requires refund of premium if
the owner exercises his or her Free Look Right).  A Policy owner may change the
allocation of accumulated value by submitting a proper written request to
Pacific Mutual's home office.

     E.   Reinstatement
          -------------

     Pacific Mutual will reinstate a lapsed Policy (see "Policy Lapsation,"
Section III.C. on page 6 of this document) at any time within five years after
the end of the grace period, provided Pacific Mutual receives the following:
(1) a written application of the Policy owner; (2) evidence of insurability
satisfactory to Pacific Mutual for each insured; and (3) payment of all monthly
charges

                                       2
<PAGE>
 
and deductions that were due and unpaid during the grace period, and payment of
a premium at least equal to three times the most recent monthly deduction.

     When the Policy is reinstated, the accumulated value will be equal to the
accumulated value on the date of the lapse subject to the following:  (1) If the
Policy is reinstated after the first monthly payment date following lapse, the
accumulated value will be reduced by the amount of Policy debt on the date of
lapse and no Policy debt will exist on the date of reinstatement; (2) If the
Policy is reinstated on the monthly payment date next following lapse, any
Policy debt on the date of lapse will also be reinstated; and (3) No interest on
amounts held in Pacific Mutual's Loan Account to secure Policy debt will be paid
or credited between lapse and reinstatement.

     Reinstatement will be effective as of the monthly payment date on or next
following the date of approval by Pacific Mutual, and accumulated value minus
Policy debt will be allocated among the variable accounts and the fixed account
in accordance with the Policy owner's current premium allocation instructions.

     F.   Policy Loans
          ------------

     A Policy owner may borrow from Pacific Mutual an amount up to the greater
of (1) 100% of accumulated value allocated to the fixed account and 90% of the
Policy's accumulated value allocated to the variable accounts, less any
outstanding Policy debt and less the amount of any surrender charge that would
be imposed if the Policy were surrendered on the date the loan was taken, or (2)
100% of the product of (a X b/c - d) where (a) equals the Policy's Accumulated
Value less any surrender charge that would be imposed if the Policy were
surrendered on the date the loan is taken and less 12 times the current monthly
deduction; (b) equals 1 plus the annual loan interest rate credited; (c) equals
1 plus the annual loan interest rate currently charged; and (d) equals any
existing Policy Debt.  The minimum loan that may be taken is $500.  A Policy is
the only security required for a loan.

     When a Policy owner takes a loan, an amount equal to the loan is
transferred out of the Policy owner's accumulated value in the variable accounts
and the fixed account on a proportional basis, unless the Policy owner instructs
Pacific Mutual otherwise.

     The interest rate on loans is 4.50% for years one through twenty, and 4.25%
thereafter. Pacific Mutual will credit interest monthly on amounts held in the
Loan Account to secure the loan at an annual rate of 4.0%.  The owner may repay
all or part of the loan at any time while the Policy is in force.  If not
repaid, the Policy debt will reduce the amount of death proceeds paid upon the
death of the surviving insured, the cash surrender value paid upon surrender, or
the refund of premium upon exercise of the free-look right.

     A loan may affect the length of time the Policy remains in force.  The
Policy will lapse when accumulated value minus Policy debt is insufficient to
cover the monthly deduction against the Policy's accumulated value on any
monthly payment date and the minimum payment required is not made during the
grace period.  Moreover, the Policy may enter the grace period more quickly when
a loan is outstanding, because the loaned amount is not available to cover
monthly deductions.

                                       3
<PAGE>
 
II.  TRANSFER AMONG INVESTMENT DIVISIONS

     The Pacific Select Exec Separate Account (the "Separate Account") is a
separate investment account of Pacific Mutual used to support the variable death
benefits and policy values of Pacific Mutual's life insurance policies.  The
Separate Account currently is made up of twelve variable accounts which invest
in shares of a corresponding portfolio of Pacific Select Fund (the "Fund"), the
investment vehicle of the Separate Account.  The Fund is registered with the
Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as
an open-end management investment company of the series type.  The portfolios of
the Fund, each of which has a different investment objective, are the Money
Market Portfolio, the High Yield Bond Portfolio, the Managed Bond Portfolio, the
Government Securities Portfolio, the Growth Portfolio, the Growth LT Portfolio,
the Equity Income Portfolio, the Multi-Strategy Portfolio, the Aggressive Equity
Portfolio, the Equity Index Portfolio, the International Portfolio, and the
Emerging Markets Portfolio.

     A Policy owner may allocate accumulated value among the variable accounts
in any way he or she chooses.  No transfers are allowed during the grace period
if the required premium has not been paid.  There is currently no charge imposed
upon transfers, and no limit to the number and frequency of transfers permitted.

     Accumulated value may also be transferred from the variable accounts to the
fixed account. However, such a transfer will only be permitted in the Policy
month preceding a Policy anniversary. Transfers from the fixed account to the
variable account are also permitted, subject to the following restrictions:  
(1) The Policy owner may not make more than one transfer from the fixed account
to the variable accounts in any 12-month period; and (2) Until June 1, 1996 if a
Policy owner has $1,000 or more in the fixed account, the Policy owner may not
transfer more than 20% of such amount to the variable accounts in any year.
Effective June 1, 1996, a Policy owner may transfer no more than the greater of
25% of the Accumulated Value in the Fixed Account of $5000.

III. REDEMPTION PROCEDURES:  SURRENDER AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

     A.   Surrender for Net Cash Surrender Value
          --------------------------------------

     A Policy owner can make partial withdrawals of the net cash surrender value
of the Policy starting on the first Policy anniversary.  During the first
fifteen Policy years, the portion of a partial withdrawal of up to the lesser of
$10,000 or 10% of cash surrender value will not reduce the face amount under the
Policy.

     A partial withdrawal must be for at least $500, and the Policy's net cash
surrender value after the withdrawal must be at least $500.  If there is any
Policy debt, the maximum partial withdrawal amount is limited to the excess, if
any, of the cash surrender value immediately prior to the withdrawal over the
result of the Policy debt divided by 90%.  In addition, the amount of a partial
withdrawal may be further limited so that face amount will not be less than
$100,000.

                                       4
<PAGE>
 
     When a partial withdrawal is made on a Policy on which the owner has
selected Death Benefit Option A or Death Benefit Option D, the face amount under
the Policy is decreased by the excess, if any, of the face amount over the
result of the death benefit immediately prior to the partial withdrawal minus
the amount the partial withdrawal.  A partial withdrawal will not change the
face amount of a Policy on which the owner has selected Death Benefit Option B
or Death Benefit Option C.  However, assuming that the death benefit is not
equal to accumulated value times a death benefit percentage, the partial
withdrawal will reduce the death benefit by the amount of the partial
withdrawal.  To the extent the death benefit is based upon the accumulated value
times the death benefit percentage applicable to the insureds, a partial
withdrawal may cause the death benefit to decrease by an amount greater than the
amount of the partial withdrawal.

B.   Death Claims
     ------------

     Upon the death of both insureds, Pacific Mutual will pay to a named
beneficiary death benefit proceeds, either in a lump sum or under a payment plan
offered under the Policy.  The proceeds will be the death benefit under the
Policy, plus any insurance proceeds provided by rider, reduced by adjustments
for any outstanding Policy debt (and, if in the grace period, any overdue
charges).

     The death benefit will be the greater of accumulated value multiplied by a
death benefit percentage, or one of the following four options:  (1) Death
Benefit Option A - the face amount of the Policy; (2) Death Benefit Option B -
the face amount of the Policy plus the accumulated value; (3) Death Benefit
Option C - the face amount of the Policy plus the total premiums paid minus
total withdrawals; or (4) Death Benefit Option D - the face amount of the Policy
multiplied by a death benefit factor shown on a Policy's specifications pages.
The specified death benefit percentages vary according to the age of the younger
insured, and are shown in a table in the Policy.  Because the specified
percentage is applied to a Policy owner's accumulated value, an increase in
accumulated value may increase the death benefit.  However, because the death
benefit will never be less than the face amount while the Policy is in force, a
decrease in the accumulated value may decrease the death benefit but never below
the face amount while the Policy is in force.

     The face amount of the Policy may be decreased by the Policy owner.  A
decrease in face amount may only be made after the first Policy year.  Such a
change may change the death benefit, depending, among other things, upon the
death benefit option chosen by the owner and whether, and the degree to which,
the death benefit under a Policy exceeds the face amount prior to the change. A
change in the face amount may affect the net amount at risk under a Policy,
which may affect a Policy owner's cost of insurance charge.  For these purposes,
the net amount at risk is equal to the death benefit less the Policy owner's
accumulated value.

     Any request for a change in face amount must be by written application to
Pacific Mutual's home office.  A Policy owner may make only one such request per
Policy year.

     C.   Policy Lapsation
          ----------------

     If the accumulated value less Policy debt of a Policy is insufficient to
cover deductions and charges on a monthly payment date, Pacific Mutual will give
written notice to the Policy owner that if an amount shown in the notice (which
will be sufficient to cover the deduction amount(s) due) is not paid within 61
days (the "grace period"), the Policy owner faces a danger of lapse.  The Policy
will remain in force through the grace period, but if no payment is forthcoming,
it will terminate at the end of the grace period.  In order to avoid
termination, the Policy owner must pay an amount equal to three times the
charges and deductions due on the monthly payment date in which the
insufficiency occurred.

     If the required payment is made during the grace period, such payment will
be allocated among the variable accounts and the fixed account in accordance
with the Policy owner's allocation instructions.  If the survivor dies during
the grace period, the death benefit proceeds will equal the amount of the death
benefit immediately prior to the commencement of the grace period, reduced by
any unpaid monthly deductions and charges dues and any Policy debt.

     A lapsed Policy may be reinstated at any time within five years after the
end of the grace period but before the maturity date.  See "Reinstatement,"
Section I.E. on page 2 of this document.

     D.   Policy Loans
          ------------

     See Section I.F. on page 3 of this document.
