This prospectus describes M's Versatile Product ("MVP")--a Flexible Premium
Variable Life Insurance Policy (individually, the "Policy," and collectively,
the "Policies") offered by Pacific Life Insurance Company ("Pacific Life",
"we", "us", or "our"). The Policy, for so long as it remains in force,
provides lifetime insurance protection on the Insured named in the Policy. The
Policy is designed to provide maximum flexibility in connection with premium
payments and death benefits by permitting the Policyholder ("Policy Owner,"
"Owner," "you" or "your"), subject to certain restrictions, to vary the
frequency and amount of premium payments and to increase or decrease the death
benefit payable under the Policy. This flexibility allows you to provide for
changing insurance needs or financial objectives under a single insurance
policy. A Policy may also be surrendered for its Cash Surrender Value less
outstanding Policy Debt.
Net premium payments may be allocated at your discretion to one or more of
the Investment Options available to you. Each of the Variable Investment
Options ("Variable Account") is a subaccount of our separate account called
the Pacific Select Exec Separate Account (the "Separate Account"). Any portion
of a net premium allocated to one or more of the Variable Accounts invests in
the corresponding portfolios of the Pacific Select Fund (the "Fund") or M
Fund, Inc. ("M Fund"):

</TABLE>
Two fixed options called the Fixed Account and the Fixed LT Account (the
"Fixed Options") are also available. Your Accumulated Value in the Fixed
Options 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 Options, see "The
General Account," page 36.
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 death benefit, as of the date of death, is the larger of: (1) the
Guideline Minimum Death Benefit calculated under the Death Benefit
Qualification Test chosen; and (2) the death benefit calculated under the
Death Benefit Option in effect. You will choose between two Death Benefit
Qualification Methods--the Cash Accumulation Test and the Guideline Premium
Test. You also will choose from three Death Benefit Options: under Option A,
the death benefit remains fixed at the Face Amount you choose; under Option B,
the death benefit equals the Face Amount plus the Accumulated Value; and under
Option C, the death benefit equals the Face Amount plus the total premiums
paid minus the sum of any withdrawals taken and any other distribution of
Accumulated Value. For a discussion of these elections see "Death Benefit,"
page 19.
It may not be advantageous to replace existing insurance with the 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 25).

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 Options are briefly described under
"The General Account," on page 36 and in the Policy.
PURPOSE OF THE POLICY
The Policy offers you insurance protection on the life of the Insured for so
long as your Policy is in force. Like traditional fixed life insurance, your
Policy provides for a death benefit, 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 insurance policies and subject to
certain limitations, you may choose the amount and frequency of premium
payments.
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 your 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. There is no guarantee that your Policy's
Accumulated Value and death benefit will increase.
Your Policy will remain in force until the earliest of the death of the
Insured, lapse, or a full surrender of your Policy.
THE DEATH BENEFIT
The death benefit, as of the date of death, is the larger of: (1) the
Guideline Minimum Death Benefit calculated under the Death Benefit
Qualification Test; and (2) the death benefit calculated under the Death
Benefit Option in effect. You will choose between two Death Benefit
Qualification Tests--the Cash Value Accumulation Test or the Guideline Premium
Test. You will also choose from three Death Benefit Options. Under Option A,
the death benefit will be equal to the Face Amount of your Policy. Under Option
B, the death benefit will be equal to the Face Amount of your Policy plus the
Accumulated Value (determined as of the end of the Valuation Period during
which the Insured dies). 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
withdrawals taken and any other distribution of Accumulated Value. For a
discussion of these elections see "Death Benefit," page 19. You may change the
death benefit option among Option A, Option B and Option C subject to certain
conditions. See "Death Benefit" and "Changes in Death Benefit Option," pages 19
and 21, respectively.
PREMIUM FEATURES
When applying for a Policy, you will determine a Planned Periodic Premium
that provides for the payment of level premiums over a specified period of
time. You will receive a premium reminder notice or listbill for multiple
policies on an annual, semi-annual, or quarterly basis, or if a listbill, a
monthly basis, at your option; 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.
6
<PAGE>
The amount, frequency, and period of time over which you pay premiums may
affect whether or not the 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. For more information on the tax
treatment of life insurance contracts, including those classified as modified
endowment contracts, see "Federal Income Tax Considerations," page 30.
Payment of the Planned Periodic Premiums 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. 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.
INVESTMENT OPTIONS
You may choose to allocate net premium payments to one or more of the
Investment Options available to you.
The Variable Accounts available to you invest in portfolios of two mutual
funds which offer 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 or M Fund. Each of the Portfolios of the Fund and M Fund, shown in the
charts on pages 14 and 15, has a different investment objective or objectives.
See "The Pacific Select Fund," and "M Fund, Inc." page 13.
Subject to certain limitations, you may also allocate all or a portion of net
premium payments and transfer Accumulated Value to the Fixed Options. We
guarantee that the Accumulated Value allocated to the Fixed Options will be
credited interest monthly at a rate equivalent to an effective annual rate of
3%, and may in our sole discretion pay interest in excess of the guaranteed
amount. See "The General Account," page 36.
TRANSFER OF ACCUMULATED VALUE
You may transfer Accumulated Value among the Variable Accounts, and, subject
to certain other limitations, between the Variable Accounts and the Fixed
Options. Transfers may be made by telephone if an Authorization For Telephone
Requests has been properly completed, signed and filed at our Home Office. See
"Transfer of Accumulated Value," page 18.
POLICY LOANS
You may borrow from us an amount up to the greater of (1) 90% of your
Policy's Accumulated Value, less any Policy Debt, and 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 your Policy's Accumulated Value less any surrender charge that would be
imposed if your 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
$200. Your Policy will be the only security required for a loan. See "Policy
Loans," page 23.
The amount of any Policy Debt is subtracted from the death benefit or from
your Cash Surrender Value upon surrender. See "Policy Loans," page 23. Your
Policy will lapse when Accumulated Value less Policy Debt is insufficient to
cover the current monthly deduction on a Monthly Payment Date, and a Grace
Period expires without a sufficient premium or repayment of Policy Debt.
7
<PAGE>
FREE-LOOK RIGHT
You may return the Policy within the Free-Look Period, which is usually 10
days after you receive it (15 days in Colorado, 20 days in North Dakota, and 30
days if you reside in California and are age 60 or older). In the event you
return your Policy within the Free-Look Period, except as indicated below, we
will refund any charges deducted from premiums received, any net premiums
received allocated to the Fixed Accounts, plus the sum of your Policy's
Accumulated Value allocated to the Variable Accounts as of the end of the
Valuation Period in which we receive your Policy, plus any Policy charges and
fees deducted from your Policy's Accumulated Value in the Variable Accounts. We
will allocate any net premiums received according to your allocation
instructions contained in the application, or more recent written instructions,
if any, when the application is approved and your Policy is issued.
If you reside in a state where applicable law so requires, we will refund
premiums received to you if you choose to exercise the Free-Look Right. We will
allocate any net premiums received before the Free-Look Transfer Date to the
Money Market Variable Account. See "Allocation of Net Premiums," page 17.
SURRENDER RIGHT
You can surrender the Policy during the life of the Insured and receive its
Net Cash Surrender Value, which is equal to the Accumulated Value less the
surrender charge and less any outstanding Policy Debt.
WITHDRAWALS
On and after the first Policy Anniversary and subject to certain
restrictions, you may make withdrawals of Net Cash Surrender Value. A
withdrawal might decrease the Face Amount on a Policy. A withdrawal fee of $25
will be deducted from Accumulated Value upon a withdrawal. See "Withdrawals",
page 25.
CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS
Premium Load
A premium load is deducted from each premium payment under your Policy prior
to allocation of the net premium to your Accumulated Value. The premium load
consists of the following items:
--A sales load equal to 3.50% of each premium paid.
--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 a Policy's Accumulated
Value on each Monthly Payment Date. The monthly deduction consists of the
following items:
--Cost of Insurance: This monthly charge compensates us for providing life
insurance coverage for the Insured. The amount of the charge is equal to a
current cost of insurance rate multiplied by the net amount at risk based on
the death benefit attributed to the Face Amount under a Policy at the
beginning of the Policy Month.
--Administrative Charge: A monthly administrative charge is deducted equal to
$7.50 per month until Age 100.
8
<PAGE>
--Mortality and Expense ("M&E") Risk Charge: The M&E Risk Charge consists of
two components:
(1) M&E Risk Face Amount Charge--The M&E Risk Face Amount Charge will be
assessed at a rate determined with reference to the Age of the Insured,
the initial Face Amount of the Policy, and the Death Benefit Option
selected. See Appendix A. If there have been increases in the Face
Amount, each increase will have a corresponding M&E Risk Face Amount
Charge related to the amount of the increase and the attained Age of
the Insured.
(2) M&E Risk Asset Charge--The M&E Risk Asset Charge is assessed at an
annual rate equal to .45% of the first $25,000 of unloaned Accumulated
Value, plus a charge of .05% of unloaned Accumulated Value above
$25,000 to the Insured's Age 100. Unloaned Accumulated Value is based
upon the value in the Investment Options at the beginning of the
Monthly Payment Date and after the allocation of any new net premium,
withdrawal and/or loan on that day, but before any monthly deductions.
--Optional Insurance Benefits Charges: The monthly deduction will include
charges for any optional insurance benefits added to the Policy by Rider. A
Rider may affect your charges under the Policy. For a description of the
Riders, see "Optional Insurance Benefits and Other Policies," page 40.
Surrender Charge
Pacific Life will assess a surrender charge against Accumulated Value upon
surrender of a Policy. The surrender charge is equal to a specified amount that
varies with the Age and risk classification of the Insured, and the Death
Benefit Option selected, for each $1,000 of a Policy's Face Amount in
accordance with the schedule in Appendix B. The charge remains level for the
first Policy Month, then decreases by 0.8403% per month to zero at the end of
the 120th month.
If there are increases in the Face Amount, each increase will have a
corresponding surrender charge related to the amount of the increase. These
charges will be specified in a supplemental schedule of benefits at the time of
the increase.
There is no reduction of surrender charge when the Face Amount of a Policy is
decreased.
The operating expenses of the Separate Account are paid by us. For a
description of these charges, see "Charges and Deductions," page 27.
FUND ANNUAL EXPENSES AFTER EXPENSE LIMITATION (as a percentage of each
Portfolio's average daily net assets)
Investment advisory fees and operating expenses for the Fund are paid by the
Fund. Fund expenses are not specified under the terms of the Policy, and they
may vary from year to year.

The expenses listed for the Fund Portfolios reflect current expenses for the
year ending December 31, 1997, except that the Advisory Fee for the
International Portfolio has been adjusted to reflect the Advisory Fee without
any waiver. The Actual Advisory Fee paid by the International Portfolio in 1997
was 0.83% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets. This reflects the
Advisory Fee waived by Pacific Life in connection with the change in the
Portfolio Manager to Morgan Stanley that occurred in June, 1997. Pacific Life,
as Investment Adviser to the Fund, adopted the policy to waive our fees or
otherwise reimburse expenses so that operating expenses (exclusive of advisory
fees, additional custodial fees associated with holding foreign securities,
foreign taxes on dividends, interest or capital gains, and extraordinary
expenses) are not greater than 0.25% of average daily net assets per year. We
began the policy in 1989 and intend to continue this policy until at least
December 31, 1999. No reimbursement to the Portfolios was necessary for the
Fund's fiscal year 1997. There can be no assurance that the expense
reimbursement arrangement will continue after December 31, 1999, and any
unreimbursed expenses would be reflected in the Policy Owner's Accumulated
Value and in some instances, the death benefit.
The Fund's fees and expenses are assessed at the Fund level and are not
direct charges against the Variable Accounts or the Policy's Accumulated Value.
These expenses are taken into account in computing each Portfolio's per share
net asset value, which in turn is used to compute the corresponding Variable
Account's Accumulation Unit Value. The Fund's investment advisory fees and
operating expenses are more fully described in the Fund's prospectus, which
accompanies this Prospectus.

to pay operating expenses of M Fund (not including brokerage or other portfolio
transaction expenses or expenses of litigation, indemnification, taxes or other
extraordinary expenses) to the extent such expenses, as accrued for each
Portfolio for the year ended December 31, 1997, exceed .25% of that Portfolio's
average daily net assets. In the absence of this policy, such expenses would
have exceeded the expense cap and total expenses for the year ended December
31, 1997, would have been 4.94% for the Brandes International Equity Fund
(formerly the Edinburgh Overseas Equity Fund), 6.20% for the Turner Core Growth
Fund, 2.86% for the Frontier Capital Appreciation Fund and 5.42% for the
Enhanced U.S. Equity Fund, respectively; MFIA has extended this policy through
December 31, 1998. There can be no assurance that MFIA will continue this
policy in the future.
M Fund's fees and expenses are assessed at the Fund level and are not direct
charges against the Variable Accounts or the Policy's Accumulated Value. These
expenses are taken into account in computing each Portfolio's net asset value,
which in turn is used to compute the corresponding Variable Account's
Accumulation Unit Value. M Fund's investment advisory fees and operating
expenses are more fully described in M Fund's prospectus, which accompanies
this prospectus.
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 withdrawal,
or a Policy loan, see "Federal Income Tax Considerations," page 30.
10
<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 30.
CONTACTING PACIFIC LIFE AND TIMING OF TRANSACTIONS
Unless otherwise specified in your Policy specification pages, all written
requests, notices, and forms required by the Policies, and any questions or
inquiries should be directed to our Client 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 we "receive" 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, loan requests, loan repayments, and withdrawal
requests we receive before 4:00 p.m. Eastern time will usually be effective as
of the end of the Valuation Date 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 us if you
have questions regarding the required form of a request.

INFORMATION ABOUT PACIFIC LIFE, THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT, THE FUND AND M FUND
PACIFIC LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
We are a life insurance company that is domiciled in California. Our
operations include both life insurance and annuity products as well as
financial and retirement services. As of the end of 1997, we had $80.0 billion
of individual life insurance in force and total admitted assets of
approximately $31.8 billion. We have been ranked according to admitted assets
as the 20th largest life insurance carrier in the nation for 1997. The Pacific
Life family of companies has total assets and funds under management of over
$236 billion. We are authorized to conduct life insurance and annuity business
in the District of Columbia and all states except New York. Our principal
offices are located at 700 Newport Center Drive, Newport Beach, California
92660.
We were originally organized on January 2, 1868, under the name "Pacific
Mutual Life Insurance Company of California" and reincorporated as "Pacific
Mutual Life Insurance Company" on July 22, 1936. On September 1, 1997, we
converted from a mutual life insurance company to a stock life insurance
company ultimately controlled by a mutual holding company and were authorized
by California regulatory authorities to change our name to Pacific Life
Insurance Company.
We are a subsidiary of Pacific LifeCorp, a holding company which, in turn,
is a subsidiary of Pacific Mutual Holding Company, a mutual holding company.
Under their respective charters, Pacific Mutual Holding Company must always
hold at least 51% of the outstanding voting stock of Pacific LifeCorp, and
Pacific LifeCorp must always own 100% of the voting stock of Pacific Life.
Owners of Pacific Life's annuity contracts and life insurance policies have
certain membership interests in Pacific Mutual Holding Company, consisting
principally of the right to vote on the election of the Board of Directors of
the mutual holding company and on other matters, and certain rights upon
liquidation or dissolutions of the mutual holding company.
The principal underwriter for the Policies is Pacific Mutual Distributors,
Inc. ("PMD"), one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries. PMD is registered as a
broker-dealer with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").
PACIFIC SELECT EXEC SEPARATE ACCOUNT
The Separate Account is a separate investment account of ours used only to
support the variable death benefits and policy values of variable life
insurance policies. The Separate Account supports the Policies as well as
other variable life insurance policies issued by us. 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 invests exclusively in shares of a designated
Portfolio of the Fund or the M Fund. We may in the future establish additional
Variable Accounts within the Separate Account, which may invest in other
Portfolios of the Fund, the M Fund or in other securities.

<PAGE>
THE PACIFIC SELECT FUND
The Fund is a diversified, open-end management investment company of the
series type. The Fund is registered with the SEC under the Investment Company
Act of 1940. Such registration does not involve supervision by the SEC of the
investments or investment policies of the Fund. The Fund currently offers
fourteen separate Portfolios that fund the Variable Investment Options
available to you. Each Portfolio pursues different investment objectives and
policies. We purchase shares of each Portfolio 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.
Shares of the Fund currently are offered only to separate accounts of ours
to serve as an investment medium for variable life insurance policies and for
variable annuity contracts issued or administered by us. 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.
M FUND, INC.
M Fund is a diversified, open-end management investment company registered
with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") under the Investment
Company Act of 1940. M Fund currently offers four separate Portfolios as
Investment Options under the Policies. 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. M Fund shares
may be redeemed by us at their net asset value to the extent necessary to make
payments under the Policies.
The following charts summarize some basic data about each Portfolio of the
Fund and M 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 prospectuses of the Fund and M Fund, including information on the
risks associated with the investments and investment techniques of each of the
Portfolios.

THE INVESTMENT ADVISERS AND PORTFOLIO MANAGERS
Pacific Select Fund
We serve as Investment Adviser to each Portfolio of the Fund. We are
registered with the SEC as an Investment Adviser. For twelve of the
Portfolios, we and the Fund have engaged other firms to serve as Portfolio
Managers which are shown in the chart above.
M Fund
M Financial Investment Advisers, Inc. ("MFIA") serves as Investment Adviser
to each Portfolio of M Fund. MFIA has engaged other firms, as shown in the
chart above, to serve as Portfolio Managers under the supervision of MFIA and
M Fund's Board of Directors.
We assume no responsibility for the operation of M Fund or any Portfolio
thereof, or the compliance of M Fund or the Portfolio with any applicable law.
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 Options. 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 and for corporations
who wish to provide coverage and benefits for key employees. Anyone wishing to
purchase the Policy may submit an application to us. A Policy can be issued on
the life of an Insured for Ages up to and including Age 85 with evidence of
insurability
15
<PAGE>
satisfactory to us. The Insured's Age is calculated 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. The Policy Date is usually the
date the application is accepted by us, although the Policy Date will never be
the 29th, 30th, or 31st of any month. We first become obligated under the
Policy on the date the total initial premium is received or on the date the
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. The 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 the initial premium is not received or the 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 the Policy Date
may not be more than six months prior to the date of the application.
Backdating can be advantageous if the Insured's lower issue Age 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 and will be applied as of the later of the Policy Date or
the date the initial premium is received at our Home Office. Monthly
deductions will be made for the period the 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. Subject to the limitations described below, 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.
When applying for a Policy, you will determine a Planned Periodic Premium
that provides for the payment of level premiums over a specified period of
time. You will receive a premium reminder notice, or a listbill for multiple
policies, on an annual, semiannual, or quarterly basis, or, if a listbill, a
monthly basis, at your option; 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 you do not elect
a payment day, the day on which premiums are paid will be the Monthly
Anniversary.
Payment of the Planned Periodic 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 Planned Periodic 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".
Any premium payment must be for at least $50. 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 "Charges and Deductions: Cost of
Insurance". 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 Accumulated Value multiplied by a death
benefit percentage. See "Death Benefit". 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.
16
<PAGE>
The amount, frequency and period of time over which you pay premiums may
affect whether the 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. Accordingly, variations from the Planned Periodic Premiums on a
Policy that is not otherwise a modified endowment contract may result in the
Policy becoming a modified endowment contract for tax purposes.
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 withdrawals may
not exceed the "seven pay premium" limit as defined in the Internal Revenue
Code ("IRC"). (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 had 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". The remainder of the premium, known as the net premium, will be
allocated as described below under "Allocation of Net Premiums." Unless you
request otherwise, in writing, additional payments will first be treated as
repayments of Policy Debt. However, certain states may require your payments
to be considered premium payments in the absence of specific instructions from
you. Any portion of a payment that exceeds the amount of Policy Debt will be
applied as an additional premium payment.
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 net premium 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). However, if your Policy is issued
with requirements necessary for the Policy to be considered in force, the net
premium will be allocated to the Money Market Account until the delivery
requirements are received by our Home Office.
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 prior to
the Free-Look Transfer Date will be allocated to the Money Market Variable
Account, which invests in the Money Market Portfolio of the Fund (except for
amounts allocated to the Loan Account to secure a Policy loan). The Free-Look
Transfer Date is 15 days after the Policy is issued or, if longer, when all
requirements are received by the Home Office for the Policy to be considered
in force. Net premiums received on and after the Free-Look Transfer Date will
be allocated upon receipt among the Investment Options according to your most
recent instructions. Allocations to the Fixed LT Account are subject to
certain restrictions. (See "The General Account".)
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 has been filed at our Home Office. We reserve the right to suspend or
discontinue telephone net premium allocation instructions.
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 Options are 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.
17
<PAGE>
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.
DOLLAR COST AVERAGING OPTION
We currently offer an option under which you may dollar cost average your
allocations in the 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 in 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. Similarly, the amounts transferred from a
Variable Account will result in a debiting 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 you will not have losses.
A Dollar Cost Averaging Request form is available upon request. To elect the
Dollar Cost Averaging Option, your 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 your initial net premium
is allocated according to your instructions, the first transfer will be
effected on your Policy's Monthly, Quarterly, Semi-Annual, or Annual
Anniversary, whichever period you select, coincident with 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 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.
TRANSFER OF ACCUMULATED VALUE
After your initial net premium is allocated to the Investment Options you
choose and upon proper written request to our Home Office, you may transfer
Accumulated Value among the Variable Accounts. 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 has been filed 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
18
<PAGE>
payment required to avoid lapse is not paid. See "Lapse". No 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
suspend and discontinue telephone transfers.
Subject to certain restrictions, Accumulated Value may also be transferred
from the Variable Accounts to the Fixed Options after your initial net premium
is allocated to the Investment Options you choose; however, such a transfer
will only be permitted in the Policy Month preceding a Policy Anniversary,
except that if you reside in Connecticut, Georgia, Maryland, North Carolina,
North Dakota, or Pennsylvania, you may make such a transfer at any time during
the first 18 Policy Months. Transfers from the Fixed Options to the Variable
Accounts are restricted as described in "The General Account".
First Year Transfer Program. The Fixed Account provides a way for you to
transfer amounts monthly from the Fixed Account to the Variable Accounts or
the Fixed LT Account. On the date your initial net premium is allocated
according to your instructions, and for up to 12 months thereafter, transfers
will be made from the Fixed Account to the other Investment Options per your
instructions. This allows you to average the Accumulation Unit values in the
Variable Accounts over time, and may permit a "smoothing" of abrupt peaks and
drops in Accumulation Unit values over the first year. See "The General
Account" for a more detailed description of the First Year Transfer Program.
DEATH BENEFIT
When your Policy is issued, we will determine the initial amount of
insurance based on the instructions provided in your 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 $50,000. We
may reduce the minimum Face Amount required at issuance under certain
circumstances, such as for group or sponsored arrangements.
At Policy issue, each Policy Owner must make two death benefit selections:
the Death Benefit Qualification Test and the Death Benefit Option. Generally,
an applicant designates the Death Benefit Qualification Test and the Death
Benefit Option for the Policy in the application. If no designations are made,
we will assume the Guideline Premium Test and Option A have been selected.
Upon the death of the Insured, the death benefit will be equal to the
Guideline Minimum Death Benefit determined by the Death Benefit Qualification
Test selected or, if greater, the Death Benefit Option selected. Under any
option, the death benefit will always be sufficient to meet the requirements
for life insurance contracts under IRC Section 7702.
DEATH BENEFIT QUALIFICATION TEST
Each Owner may select one of two Death Benefit Qualification Test methods
available under the Policy. Once elected, the Death Benefit Qualification Test
cannot be changed for the duration of your Policy. As described below, the
available Death Benefit Qualification Tests are the Cash Value Accumulation
Test and the Guideline Premium Test.
Cash Value Accumulation Test. The Guideline Minimum Death Benefit will be
the greater of the amount required for this policy to be deemed "life
insurance" according to the IRC or 101% of the Accumulated Value. Such
required amount will be determined based on the Accumulated Value and the Cash
Value Accumulation Test defined in IRC Section 7702(b). Generally, the Cash
Value Accumulation Test requires that under the terms of a life insurance
policy, the death benefit must be sufficient so that the cash surrender value,
as defined in IRC Section 7702, does not at any time exceed the net single
premium required to fund the future benefits under the policy. The net single
premiums under the Policy vary according to the Age, sex, and underwriting
classification of the Insured, and the resulting death benefit determined by
using the net single premium will be at least equal to the amount required for
the Policy to be deemed life insurance under IRC Section 7702. The net single
premium is calculated using a four percent interest rate or, if higher, the
contractually guaranteed interest rate and using the guaranteed mortality
charges as of the time the Policy is issued. The net single premium that would
purchase $1 of future benefits under the Policy for a male Insured, Age 45,
standard Nonsmoker, is $0.3475.
19
<PAGE>
Guideline Premium Test. The Guideline Minimum Death Benefit at any time is
the Accumulated Value multiplied by the death benefit percentage shown in
Appendix C and in the Policy. The death benefit will be determined with
reference to the requirements for the Guideline Premium test for qualifying a
Policy as a life insurance contract under IRC Section 7702(a)(2). Under these
requirements, the sum of the premiums paid under a Policy may not exceed the
"guideline premium limitations," as defined in IRC Section 7702(a), and the
death benefit percentages, which vary according to the Age of the Insured,
will be at least equal to the applicable percentage (as defined in IRC Section
7702(d)) of the cash surrender value of the Policy. The death benefit
percentage is 250% for an Insured at Age 40 or under, and it declines for
older Insureds.
Choosing Between the Tests
The Cash Value Accumulation Test does not limit the amount of premium that
may be paid into a Policy. If you desire to pay premiums in excess of the
guideline premium test limitations you should elect the Cash Value
Accumulation Test. However, any premium that would increase the net amount at
risk is subject to evidence of insurability satisfactory to us. Required
increases in the minimum death benefit due to growth in Accumulated Value will
generally be greater under the Cash Value Accumulation Test than under the
Guideline Premium Test.
The Guideline Premium Test limits the amount of premium that may be paid
into a Policy. If you do not desire to pay premiums in excess of the Guideline
Premium Test limitations you should consider the Guideline Premium Test.
DEATH BENEFIT OPTION
Each Owner may select one of three Death Benefit Options available under the
Policy: Option A, Option B, or Option C.
Option A. Under Option A, the death benefit will be equal to the Face Amount
of your Policy. The death benefit will never be less than the Face Amount.
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. The death benefit will never be
less than the Face Amount.
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 withdrawals
taken and any other distribution of Accumulated Value.
Choosing Among the Options.
Option A is 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.
Option B provides for a greater degree of insurance protection than
experienced under Option A, in that the death benefit under Option B includes
Accumulated Value. Option B will reflect the value of growth in Accumulated
Value due to performance, assuming that the Guideline Minimum Death Benefit is
not greater than the death benefit otherwise determined. The death benefit
will never be less than the Face Amount.
Option C provides for a greater degree of insurance protection than
experienced under Option A, in that the death benefit under Option C includes
the amount of premiums paid minus withdrawals and any other distributions of
Accumulated Value. However, to the extent the sum of the withdrawals and any
other distributions is greater than the sum of the premiums paid, and assuming
that the Guideline Minimum Death Benefit is not greater than the death benefit
otherwise determined, it is possible for the death benefit to be less than the
Face Amount.

Cash Value Accumulation Test Examples. The following examples demonstrate
the determination of death benefits under Options A, B and C under the Cash
Value Accumulation Test. The examples show two policies-- policies I and II --
with the same Face Amount and Premiums, but Accumulation Values that vary as
shown. All policies assume an Insured is Age 40 at issue that dies at the
beginning of his sixth Policy Year. All policies assume that there is no
outstanding Policy Debt or prior withdrawals. Net Single Premium is calculated
under the rules specified in the Code for a 45 year old male.

under Option A. In contrast, under Death Benefit Option B or C, the death
benefit would be determined by the Death Benefit Option selected which, in
each case, is greater than the death benefit provided under the Guideline
Minimum Death Benefit (as determined by the Guideline Premium Test).
All calculations of death benefit will be made as of the end of the
Valuation Period during which the Insured dies. Death benefit proceeds may be
paid to your Beneficiary in a lump sum or under a payment plan offered under
the Policy. The Policy should be consulted for details.
CHANGES IN DEATH BENEFIT OPTION
You may request that the death benefit under your Policy be changed from
Option A or Option C to Option B, or from Option B or Option C to Option A.
Changes to Option C will not be available. Changes in the death
21
<PAGE>
benefit option may be made only once per Policy Year and should be made in
writing to our Home Office. A change from Option B to Option A may be made
without evidence of insurability; a change from Option A to Option B will
require evidence of insurability satisfactory to us. The effective date of any
such change shall be the next Monthly Payment Date after the change is
accepted.
A change in the Death Benefit Option 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 charges since these
charges vary with the net amount at risk, which generally is the amount by
which the death benefit exceeds Accumulated Value. See "Charges and Deduction:
Cost of Insurance".
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.
CHANGES IN FACE AMOUNT
You may request an increase or decrease in the Face Amount under your Policy
subject to our approval. A change in Face Amount may only be made once per
year. Increasing the Face Amount could increase the death benefit under your
Policy, and 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. An increase in Face Amount may increase the net amount at risk under
your Policy, which will increase your cost of insurance charge. Conversely, a
decrease in Face Amount may decrease the net amount at risk, which will
decrease your cost of insurance charge.
Any request for an increase or 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 our acceptance of the request. If
you are not the Insured, we will also require the consent of the Insured
before accepting a request.
Increases. Additional evidence of insurability satisfactory to us will be
required for an increase in Face Amount. An increase will not be given for
increments of Face Amount less than $25,000. We reserve the right to charge a
fee for each increase, not to exceed a maximum of $100, to cover the costs of
processing the request. This fee will be deducted on the effective date of the
increase in Face Amount from the Accumulated Value in the Investment Options
in the proportion that each bears to your Accumulated Value less Debt.
Decreases. Any decrease in Face Amount will first be applied to the most
recent increases, then the next most recent increases successively, and
finally to the original Face Amount. No charge will be deducted in connection
with a decrease. If you choose the Guideline Premium Test, and 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 will refund to you the amount of such excess above the
premium limitations.
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. Your Accumulated Value is the sum of the amounts under
your Policy held in each Investment Option, as well as the amount set aside in
the Loan Account, including any accrued earned interest, to secure any Policy
Debt.
22
<PAGE>
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". 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 your
Accumulated Value less the surrender charge. Thus, your Accumulated Value will
exceed your Policy's Cash Surrender Value by the amount of the surrender
charge. Once the surrender charge has expired, your Accumulated Value will
equal the Cash Surrender Value.
Net Cash Surrender Value. The Net Cash Surrender Value of your Policy equals
your Cash Surrender Value less any outstanding Policy Debt. You can surrender
your Policy at any time while the Insured is living and receive your Net Cash
Surrender Value. See "Surrender".
DETERMINATION OF ACCUMULATED VALUE
The 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, transfers, withdrawals, and the charges assessed in
connection with the Policy.
The amounts allocated to the Variable Accounts will be invested in shares of
the corresponding Portfolio of the Fund. The investment performance of each
Variable Account 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, your Policy is credited with accumulation
units. In addition, other transactions including loans, a surrender,
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 at or about 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. 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 and includes
expenses related to the Portfolio's management, (2) any dividends or
distributions paid by the corresponding Portfolio, and (3) the charges, if
any, we may assess 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 $200. The maximum amount that can be borrowed at any time
is the greater of (1) 90% of the Accumulated Value, less any Policy Debt, and
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
23
<PAGE>
12 times the current monthly deduction; (b) equals 1 plus the annual loan
interest rate credited (1.03); (c) equals 1 plus the annual loan interest rate
currently charged (1.0325); and (d) equals any existing Policy Debt.
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 annual effective interest rate maximum is 3.25%. We will
credit interest monthly on amounts held in the Loan Account to secure the loan
at an annual effective rate of 3.0%.
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 your most recent premium allocation
instructions. However, we reserve the right to first transfer repayments from
the Loan Account to each Fixed Option up to the amount that was originally
borrowed. Any excess over such amount will be transferred to the Variable
Accounts relative to your most recent 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. Unless you request
otherwise, in writing, any payment we receive from you while you have a loan
outstanding will be first considered a loan repayment. However, certain states
may require your payments to be considered premium payments in the absence of
specific instructions from you.
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
rates of the Fixed Options on the loaned amount. Thus a loan, whether or not
repaid, will have a permanent effect on your Policy's values and may have an
effect on the amount and duration of the death benefit. If not repaid, your
Policy Debt will be deducted from the amount of death benefit paid upon the
death of the Insured, the Cash Surrender Value upon surrender or maturity, 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 the Policy in force. See "Lapse".
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 endowment
contract, or unless the Policy is surrendered or upon maturity or lapse of the
Policy, 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".
SURRENDER
You may fully surrender your Policy at any time during the life of the
Insured. The amount received in the event of a full surrender is your Policy's
Net Cash Surrender Value, which is equal to your 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 your request for a surrender
24
<PAGE>
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". For information
on the tax effects of a surrender of a Policy, see "Federal Income Tax
Considerations".
WITHDRAWALS
Upon written request on or after the first policy anniversary while the
insured is living, you may withdraw a portion of the Net Cash Surrender Value
of this policy. The portion of the first withdrawal in each of the first 15
Policy Years of up to 10% of the cumulative premiums paid will not reduce the
Face Amount under your Policy. The excess of any withdrawal over this amount
may cause a reduction in Face Amount if the Death Benefit Option is Option A,
as described below.
Withdrawals must be for at least $200, and your Policy's Net Cash Surrender
Value after the withdrawal must be at least $500. If there is any Policy Debt,
the maximum withdrawal 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%.
You may make a 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 Insured 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 into account the withdrawal. A withdrawal fee of
$25.00 will be deducted from your Accumulated Value for a withdrawal. (See
"Charges and Deductions.")
Unless otherwise specified by you, in writing, no withdrawal request will be
accepted by us if the withdrawal would cause your Policy to be treated as a
modified endowment contract.
Withdrawals and Face Amount
A withdrawal may reduce the Face Amount of a Policy for which the Owner has
selected Death Benefit Option A. A withdrawal will first reduce the excess of
the Guideline Minimum Death Benefit over the Face Amount, if any. A withdrawal
in excess of this amount will reduce the Face Amount by the excess amount
withdrawn.
A withdrawal will not affect the Face Amount of a Policy on which the Owner
has selected Death Benefit Option B or C.
Withdrawals and Death Benefit
If your Policy's death benefit is greater than the Guideline Minimum Death
Benefit, the withdrawal will reduce the death benefit by the amount of the
withdrawal. However, if your Policy's death benefit is equal to the Guideline
Minimum Death Benefit applicable to the Insured, a withdrawal may cause the
death benefit to decrease by an amount greater than the amount of the
withdrawal. See "Death Benefit".
For information on the tax treatment of withdrawals, see "Federal Income Tax
Considerations".
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 (15 days in Colorado; 20 days in North Dakota;
and 30 days if you are a resident of California and are age 60 or older).
Certain states require different Free-Look Rights if you purchase the Policy
in exchange for another policy, in which case we will notify you of your
Right. It can be mailed or delivered to us or our agent. The returned Policy
will be treated as if we never issued it and we will promptly refund any
charges deducted from premiums received, any net premiums received allocated
to the Fixed Options, plus the sum of your Policy's
25
<PAGE>
Accumulated Value allocated to the Variable Accounts as of the end of the
Valuation Period in which we receive your Policy, plus any Policy charges and
fees deducted from your Policy's Accumulated Value in the Variable Accounts.
If you have taken a loan during the Free-Look Period, your Policy Debt will be
deducted from the amount refunded.
If you reside in a state where applicable law so requires, we will refund
premiums received to you if you choose to exercise the Free-Look Right. Before
the Free-Look Transfer Date, net premiums will be allocated to the Money
Market Variable Account, which invests in the Money Market Portfolio of the
Fund (except for amounts allocated to the Loan Account to secure a Policy
loan). See "Allocation of Net Premiums".
LAPSE
Your Policy will lapse only when your Accumulated Value less Policy Debt is
insufficient to cover the current monthly deduction on a Monthly Payment Date,
and a Grace Period expires without you making a sufficient payment. If
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 IRC. 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 Insured 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) your
written application, (2) evidence of insurability satisfactory to us, 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.
When your Policy is reinstated, your 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 your first Monthly Payment Date following lapse,
your 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 your Monthly Payment Date next following
lapse, any Policy Debt on the date of lapse will also be reinstated. No
interest on amounts held in the Loan Account to secure Policy Debt will be
paid or credited between lapse and reinstatement. Reinstatement will be
effective as of your Monthly Payment Date on or next following the date of our
approval, and your 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 your Policy prior
to allocation of the net premium to your Accumulated Value. The premium load
consists of the following items:
Sales Load. The sales load is equal to 3.50% of each premium paid.
The sales load is deducted to compensate us for the cost of distributing
the Policies. The amount we derive 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 surrender charge. See "Surrender Charge,"
below. To the extent that sales and distribution expenses exceed sales
loads, such expenses may be recovered from other charges, including amounts
derived indirectly 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, 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 certain 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. We do not expect to
profit from this charge.
Federal Tax Charge. A charge equal to 1.50% is assessed against each
premium to pay certain applicable federal taxes. 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 your Accumulated
Value in the Investment Options beginning on the Monthly Payment Date on or
next following the date we first become obligated under your Policy and on
each Monthly Payment Date thereafter. Unless you request otherwise, in
writing, the monthly deduction will be deducted from the Investment Options on
a pro rata basis. The monthly deduction consists of the following items:
Cost of Insurance. This monthly charge compensates us for providing life
insurance coverage for the Insured. We may use any profits derived from this
charge for any lawful purpose. The amount of the charge is equal to a current
cost of insurance rate multiplied by the net amount at risk based on the death
benefit attributed to the Face Amount under your Policy at the beginning of
the Policy Month. The net amount at risk for these purposes is equal to the
amount of total death benefit of the Policy payable at the beginning of the
Policy Month divided by 1.002466 (a discount factor to account for return
deemed to be earned during the month) less your Accumulated Value at the
beginning of your Policy Month before the monthly deduction is due, including
any interest credited to the Loan Account.
If there have been increases in Face Amount, then the net amount at risk
will be proportionately allocated to each increase according to the Face
Amount attributed to each increase that is in force as of your Monthly Payment
Date.
The Policy's cost of insurance rates will not exceed certain guaranteed
rates shown in the Policy's Specifications. The guaranteed rates are no
greater than certain of the 1980 Commissioners Standard Ordinary Mortality
Tables (and where unisex cost of insurance rates apply, the 1980 Commissioners
Ordinary Mortality Table B). These rates are based on the Age and underwriting
class of the Insured. They are also based on the sex of the Insured, except
that unisex rates are used where appropriate under applicable law, including
in the state of Montana and in Policies purchased by employers and employee
organizations in connection with employment-related insurance or benefit
programs. 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. The current rates vary with, among other
things, the Age, gender, where permissable, and underwriting class of the
Insured. In addition, they also vary with the Insured's smoking status, and
the policy duration. The cost of insurance rate generally increases with the
Age of the Insured.
You have the option to elect a guaranteed period during which, we will
guarantee our current Cost of Insurance Rates as of the date the Policy is
issued. If the Insured is Issue Age 65 or under and is in our "standard" risk
classification, you may elect a 10 year guarantee period. If the Insured is
Issue Age 66 or older
27
<PAGE>
and a "standard" risk classification; or the Policy is issued with a
"substandard risk classification" at any Issue Age, you may elect a 5 year
guarantee period. If the 10 year or 5 year period, respectively, are not
elected, the Policy will be issued with a 0 year guarantee period. This
election must be made at time of application and cannot be changed once the
Policy has been issued.
If there are Face Amount increases, the Cost of Insurance Rates will have a
new guaranteed period applicable to the amount of the increase based on our
then-current Cost of Insurance Rates. If the Insured is Age 65 or under at the
time of increase and is in our "standard" risk classification, you may elect a
10 year guaranteed period; otherwise a 5 year guaranteed period will apply.
There is no cost for increasing the guaranteed period to 10 years.
If there have been increases in your Face Amount, then for purposes of
calculating the cost of insurance charge, your Accumulated Value will first be
applied to the initial Face Amount. If your Accumulated Value exceeds the
initial Face Amount divided by 1.002466, the excess will then be applied to
any increase in Face Amount in the order of the increases. If the death
benefit equals Accumulated Value multiplied by the applicable death benefit
percentage, any increase in Accumulated Value will cause an automatic increase
in the death benefit. The underwriting class and duration for such increase
will be the same as that used for the most recent increase in Face Amount
(that has not been eliminated through a subsequent decrease in Face Amount).
Administrative Charge. A monthly administrative charge is deducted equal to
$7.50 per month until Age 100. The administrative charge is assessed to
reimburse us for the expenses associated with administration and maintenance
of the Policies. We do not expect to profit from this charge.
M&E Risk Charge. The M&E Risk Charge is to compensate us for the risk we
assume that mortality expenses and other costs of providing your Policy will
be greater than estimated by us. The M&E Risk Charge is a monthly charge that
consists of two components: the M&E Risk Face Amount Charge and the M&E Risk
Asset Charge.
During the first ten Policy Years, the M&E Risk Face Amount Charge 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 A,
and they are based upon the Age of the Insured at the Policy Date. This
component is not assessed on the initial Face Amount after the tenth Policy
Year.
If there have been increases in the Face Amount, each increase will have a
corresponding M&E Risk Face Amount Charge related to the amount of the
increase. These charges will be specified in a supplemental schedule of
benefits at the time of the increase, and will continue for 10 years from the
date of the increase.
In addition, a monthly M&E Risk Asset Charge is assessed at an annual rate
equal to .45% of the first $25,000 of unloaned Accumulated Value, plus a
charge of .05% of unloaned Accumulated Value above $25,000 to the Insured's
Age 100. Unloaned Accumulated Value is based upon the value in the Investment
Options at the beginning of the Monthly Payment Date and after the allocation
of new net premium, withdrawal and/or loan on that day, but before any monthly
deductions.
The M&E 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 benefits added to the Policy by Rider. A
Rider may affect your charges under the Policy. See "Optional Insurance
Benefits and Other Policies".
SURRENDER CHARGE
A surrender charge may be deducted from your Accumulated Value upon
surrender of your Policy. The surrender charge is used to help pay for
underwriting, policy issues, and sales and distribution costs on the
28
<PAGE>
policies. The initial surrender charge is equal to a specified amount that
varies with the Age and risk classification of the Insured, and the Death
Benefit Option selected, for each $1,000 of a Policy's initial Face Amount in
accordance with the schedule in Appendix B. The charge remains level for the
first Policy Month, and then will decrease by 0.8403% per month to zero at the
end of the 120th month.
If there have been increases in the Face Amount, each increase will have a
corresponding surrender charge related to the amount of the increase. These
charges will be specified in a supplemental schedule of benefits at the time
of the increase.
There is no reduction of surrender charge when the Face Amount of a Policy
is decreased.
For example, if a Male Insured Age 45 who is a non-smoker purchases a Policy
with a Face Amount of $350,000, the surrender charge, assuming standard
underwriting risk, would be $724.50 under Death Benefit Options A or C, or
$1,029.00 under Death Benefit Option B if surrendered at the end of the first
Policy Month, $657.73 and $933.88, respectively, if surrendered at the end of
the first Policy Year, and $365.29 and $518.82, respectively, if surrendered
at the end of the fifth Policy Year. The surrender charge becomes $0 on the
10th Policy Anniversary.
WITHDRAWAL CHARGE
A withdrawal fee of $25 will be deducted proportionately from the
Accumulated Value in the Investment Options each time a Withdrawal occurs.
CORPORATE AND OTHER PURCHASERS
The Policy is available for individuals and for corporations and other
institutions. For corporate or other group or sponsored arrangements
purchasing one or more Policies, we may reduce the amount of the surrender
charge or other charges where the expenses associated with the sale of, 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 arrangement, from the amount of the initial
premium payment or payments, or the amount of projected premium payments.
OTHER CHARGES
We may charge the Variable Accounts for federal income taxes incurred by us
that are attributable to the Separate Account and its Variable Accounts or to
our operations with respect to the Policies. No such charge is currently
assessed. See "Charge for Our Income Taxes".
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 "Summary of the Policy: Fund Annual Expenses After Expense
Limitation" and in the prospectus of the Fund.
M Fund and each of its Portfolios incur certain charges, including the
investment advisory fee, and certain operating expenses. M Fund is governed by
its Board of Directors. M 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 "Summary of the
Policy: M Fund Annual Expenses After Expense Limitation" and in the prospectus
of M Fund.
We may use the profits derived from any charge for any lawful purpose,
including any distribution expenses not covered by the sales load or surrender
charge.
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 sales 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 and Policies with term
insurance on the Insured). 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, maturity of the Policy, or a withdrawal. In
addition, certain Policy loans may be taxable in the case of Policies that are
modified endowment contracts. PROSPECTIVE 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 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
Insured generally will not result in the recognition of gain or loss according
to IRC Section 1035(a). Changing the Insured under a Policy will, however, not
be treated as a tax-free exchange under IRC 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.
30
<PAGE>
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
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 Exec II 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 or maturity of a Policy 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
withdrawals. Under IRC Section 7702, if a 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 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. Tax law provisions may limit the
deduction of interest payable on loan proceeds that are used to purchase or
carry certain life insurance policies. Also, new tax law has been proposed in
1998 which contains a provision that could adversely affect the owners of
certain "corporate-owned life insurance policies". (As of the date of this
Prospectus, this proposal has not been introduced as a bill and may or may not
ever become law as currently drafted.) Present law provides that a portion of
the interest deductions on indebtedness is reduced if the taxpayer is a direct
or indirect beneficiary of certain life insurance, endowment, or annuity
contracts (even interest on indebtedness that is completely unrelated to the
contract). This rule does not apply under present law if the contract was
issued on 20% owners, officers or employees. The proposal would repeal the
exception other than for 20% owners for taxable years beginning after the date
of enactment. The effect of the proposal would be to increase the after-tax
cost of such policies in most cases. If you have questions regarding the
proposal, please consult your tax advisor.
31
<PAGE>
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 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. Under a tax law provision, 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 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
ADVISOR. Tax law provisions may limit the deduction of interest payable on
loans and 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. 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 our 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.
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.

<PAGE>
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 a charge to the Separate Account or the Policy 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. Charges 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 or M
Fund held in the Variable Accounts at any regular and special meetings of the
shareholders of the Fund or of M Fund on matters requiring shareholder voting
under the Investment Company Act of 1940 or by the Fund or M Fund. 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 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 or M Fund in its 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 a Policy
Owner 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 or M Fund. Fractional votes will be
counted. The number of votes as to which you will have the right to instruct
will be determined as of the date coincident with the date established by the
Fund or M Fund for determining shareholders eligible to vote at the meeting of
the Fund or M Fund. If required by the Securities and Exchange Commission, we
reserve the right to determine in a different fashion the voting rights
attributable to the shares of the Fund or M 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 the voting instructions for 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,
or hold unvoted shares in the Separate Account, and/or if any of our non-
insurance subsidiaries holds shares of a Portfolio, we will vote such 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.

<PAGE>
CONFIRMATION STATEMENTS AND OTHER REPORTS TO OWNERS
A statement will be sent quarterly to you setting forth a summary of the
transactions which occurred during the 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 and any other information required by law.
Confirmations will be sent out upon premium payments, transfers, loans, loan
repayments, withdrawals, and surrenders. Confirmations of scheduled
transactions under dollar cost averaging, portfolio rebalancing and monthly
deductions will appear on your quarterly statements.
You will 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.
We will send to each Policy Owner any annual financial statements for M
Fund, which will include a list of the portfolio securities of M Fund, as
required by the Investment Company Act of 1940, and/or such other reports as
may be required by federal securities laws, that we receive from that fund.
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 or M Fund should become inappropriate in view of the
purposes of the Policies, we may substitute shares of another Portfolio of the
Fund or M 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 your
interest in a Variable Account or the Separate Account without notice, your
approval, or prior approval of the Securities and Exchange Commission and
without following the filing or other procedures established by applicable
state insurance regulators.
We also reserve the right to establish additional Variable Accounts which
may include additional subaccounts of the Separate Account to serve as
investment options under the Policies, which may be managed separate accounts
or may invest in a new Portfolio of the Fund or M 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, at 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 combined with other separate accounts of ours 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.
REPLACEMENT OF LIFE INSURANCE OR ANNUITIES
The term "replacement" has a special meaning in the life insurance industry
and is described more fully below. Before you make your purchase decision,
Pacific Life wants you to understand how a replacement may impact your
existing plan of insurance.
34
<PAGE>
A policy "replacement" occurs when a new policy or contract is purchased
and, in connection with the sale, an existing policy or contract is
surrendered, lapsed, forfeited, assigned to the replacing insurer, otherwise
terminated, or used in a financed purchase. A "financed purchase" occurs when
the purchase of a new life insurance policy or annuity contract involves the
use of funds obtained from the values of an existing life insurance policy or
annuity contract through withdrawal, surrender or loan.
There are circumstances in which replacing your existing life insurance
policy or annuity contract can benefit you. As a general rule, however,
replacement is not in your best interest. Accordingly, you should make a
careful comparison of the costs and benefits of your existing policy or
contract and the proposed policy or contract to determine whether replacement
is in your best interest.
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 contracts
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 varying
death benefit options will result in different expenses for the cost of
insurance, and the varying expenses will result in different Accumulated
Values. Since the Guideline Minimum Death Benefit is related to the
Accumulated Value, it will vary with Accumulated Value. The cost of insurance
charge varies according to the Ages of the Insureds and therefore the cost of
insurance charge reflected in the performance for the hypothetical Policy is
based on the hypothetical Insureds and death benefit option assumed. 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, mutual funds, 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) 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
35
<PAGE>
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 GENERAL ACCOUNT
You may allocate all or a portion of your net premium payments and transfer
Accumulated Value to the Fixed Account and/or the Fixed LT Account. All
amounts allocated to the Fixed Options become part of our General Account,
which consists of all assets owned by us other than those in the Separate
Account and our other separate accounts, and supports insurance and annuity
obligations. Subject to applicable law, we have sole discretion over the
investment of the assets of our General Account, and bear the associated
investment risk; you will not share in the investment experience of General
Account assets.
Because of exemptive and exclusionary provisions, interests in the Fixed
Options have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and the
General Account has not been registered as an investment company under the
Investment Company Act of 1940. Accordingly, the Fixed Options or any
interests therein are generally not 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 Options. Disclosures regarding the Fixed
Options 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
Options, see the Policy itself.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
You may elect to allocate net premium payments to the Fixed Account, the
Fixed LT Account, the Separate Account, or all three, subject to the
limitations described below. You may also transfer Accumulated Value from the
Variable Accounts to the Fixed Options, or from the Fixed Options to the
Variable Accounts, subject to the limitations described below. We guarantee
that the Accumulated Value in the Fixed Options will be credited on a daily
basis using a 365 day year at a rate not less than a minimum effective annual
rate of 3%. Such interest will be paid regardless of the actual investment
experience of the General Account. In addition, we may in our sole discretion
declare current interest in excess of the 3%, which will be guaranteed at
least until the end of the Policy Year and annually thereafter. (The portion
of your Accumulated Value that has been used to secure Policy Debt will be
credited with an interest rate equal to an effective annual rate of 3%.)
We bear the full investment risk for the Accumulated Value allocated to the
Fixed Options.
DEATH BENEFIT
The death benefit under the Policy will be determined in the same fashion
for an Owner who has Accumulated Value in the Fixed Accounts as for an Owner
who has Accumulated Value in the Variable Accounts. See "Death Benefit".
POLICY CHARGES
Policy charges will be the same whether you allocate net premiums or
transfer Accumulated Value to the Fixed Options 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, M&E Risk Charge, the charge for any optional
insurance benefits added by rider, any death benefit change charge; and the
surrender charge. Any amounts that we pay for income taxes allocable to the
Variable Accounts will not be charged against the Fixed Options. 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 the Accumulated Value is allocated to the Fixed Options;
however, to such extent you will not participate in the investment experience
of the Variable Accounts.
36
<PAGE>
TRANSFERS TO AND FROM THE FIXED OPTIONS
Subject to the following limitations, amounts may be transferred on and
after the date your initial net premium is allocated to the Investment Options
you choose from the Variable Accounts to the Fixed Options, from the Fixed
Options to the Variable Accounts, and/or between the Fixed Options.
Transfers from the Variable Accounts to the Fixed Options may be made in the
Policy Month preceding a Policy Anniversary, except that if you reside in
Connecticut, Georgia, Maryland, North Carolina, North Dakota or Pennsylvania
you may make such a transfer at any time during the first 18 Policy Months.
Except as described below, you may not make more than one transfer from the
Fixed Options to the Variable Accounts in any 12-month period. No transfer may
be made if the Policy is in a Grace Period and the required premium has not
been paid.
Currently there is no charge imposed upon transfers; however, we reserve the
right to assess such a charge in the future and to impose limitations on the
number of transfers, the amount of transfers, and the amount remaining in a
Fixed Option or the Variable Accounts after a transfer other than those
described below.
Transfers payable from the Fixed Options, other than as described in the
First Year Transfer Program, may be delayed for up to six months.
The Fixed Account
Except for scheduled transfers under the Fixed Account's First Year Transfer
Program as described below, you may not make more than one transfer from the
Fixed Account to the Variable Accounts and/or the Fixed LT Account in any 12-
month period. Further, except during your First Year Transfer Program, you may
not transfer more than the greater of 25% of your Accumulated Value in the
Fixed Account or $5,000 in any year.
First Year Transfer Program. At Policy Issue, you may elect to use the First
Year Transfer Program to transfer amounts from the Fixed Account to the
Variable Accounts and/or the Fixed LT Account during the first Policy Year.
There is no charge to elect this feature. Transfers may begin on the date your
initial net premium is allocated to the Investment Options you choose, and a
fixed dollar amount will be transferred every month for up to 12 months. Each
transfer date thereafter will be the same day of the month. If the First Year
Transfer Program is elected, the greater of 25% of Accumulated Value or $5,000
limitation is waived during the first Policy Year. The last transfer may take
place in the second Policy Year, and would not be counted toward the Owner's
one transfer per year limitation described above.
If the Accumulated Value in the Fixed Account is less than the amount to be
transferred, the remaining balance is transferred, and the program is
terminated. However, if, at the end of the 12-transfer period, money remains
in the Fixed Account, this will remain invested in the Fixed Account at the
then-current interest rate and becomes subject to the one transfer per year
limitation.
We stop crediting interest on any amount transferred or withdrawn from the
Fixed Account as of the day the transfer or withdrawal is effective.
The Fixed LT Account
We reserve the right to limit the amount allocated to the Fixed LT Account
to $1,000,000 during the most recent 12 months for all policies owned by you.
Allocations include net premium payments, transfers and loan repayments. Any
excess over $1,000,000 would be transferred to your other Investment Options
relative to your most recent instructions.
We may increase the $1,000,000 limit at any time at our sole discretion. You
may contact us to find out if a higher limit is in effect.
You may not make more than one transfer from the Fixed LT Account to the
Variable Accounts and/or the Fixed Account in any 12-month period. Further,
you may not transfer more than the greater of 10% of your Accumulated Value in
the Fixed LT Account or $5,000 in any year.
37
<PAGE>
SURRENDERS, WITHDRAWALS, AND POLICY LOANS
You may also make withdrawals and full surrenders from the Fixed Options to
the same extent as an Owner who has invested in the Variable Accounts. See
"Surrender" and "Withdrawals". You may borrow up to the greater of (1) 90% of
your Accumulated Value, less any Policy Debt, and 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
your Policy's Accumulated Value less any surrender charge that would be
imposed if your 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 (1.03); (c) equals 1 plus the annual loan interest rate
currently charged (1.0325); and (d) equals any existing Policy Debt. We
reserve the right to first transfer repayments from the Loan Account to each
Fixed Option up to the amount that was originally borrowed. Any excess over
such amount will be transferred to the Variable Accounts relative to your most
recent instructions. See "Policy Loans".
Surrenders and withdrawals payable from the Fixed Options and the payment of
Policy loans allocated to the Fixed Options 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 Insured is 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 the 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 the Policy cannot be changed without his or her consent. Unless
otherwise provided, if no designated Beneficiary is living upon the death of
the Insured, 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 Insured's death, the Beneficiary
must be living at the time of the Insured's death.
SUBSTITUTION OF INSURED
Subject to our approval, you may request a substitution of the Insured under
this Policy for a new Insured after the first Policy Year is completed. We
will require the following before we substitute the Insured:
. The new Insured must submit evidence of insurability satisfactory to us;
. You must submit a written application for the substitution;
We may adjust the Face Amount, Accumulated Value, surrender charge, and any
Policy fees and charges to reflect the new Insured. A revised schedule of
benefits will be sent to you outlining the benefits for the new Insured.
Riders on the new Insured will be added only with our consent and subject to
our requirements for those riders.
38
<PAGE>
If approved, the substitution will become effective on the Monthly Payment
Date on or next following our approval.
We reserve the right to disallow a requested exchange of the named Insured,
and will not permit a requested exchange, among other reasons, (1) if
compliance with the guideline premium limitations under tax law resulting from
the of Insured would result in the immediate termination of the Policy, or (2)
if, to effect the requested, 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
the Policy.
THE CONTRACT
This Policy is a contract between the Owner and Pacific Life. 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 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, withdrawals, and loan proceeds based on allocations made to the
Variable Accounts, and will effect a transfer between Variable Accounts or
from a Variable Account to a Fixed Option within seven days after we receive
all the information needed to process a payment or transfer 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 and recorded by our Home Office. 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, Endorsement or Rider, 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".)
ERRORS ON THE APPLICATION
If the Age or sex of the Insured has been misstated, the death benefit under
your Policy will be the greater of that which would be purchased by the most
recent cost of insurance charge at the correct Age and sex, or the death
benefit derived by multiplying Accumulated Value by the death benefit
percentage for the correct Age and sex. If the Insured's Age or sex is
misstated in the application, the Accumulated Value will be modified by
recalculating all prior cost of insurance charges and other monthly deductions
based on the correct Age and sex. If unisex cost of insurance rates apply, no
adjustment will be made for a misstatement of sex. See "Cost of Insurance".
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
39
<PAGE>
be contested after your Policy has been in force during the Insured's lifetime
for two years from the Policy Date; if the Insured is changed, your Policy
cannot be contested after it has been in force during the new Insured's
lifetime for two years from the effective date of the exchange; and an
increase in the Face Amount cannot be contested after the increase has been in
force during an Insured's lifetime for two years from its effective date.
PAYMENT IN CASE OF SUICIDE
If the 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 and less any Policy Debt. If the Insured
has been changed and the new Insured dies by suicide, while sane or insane,
within two years of the exchange date, the death benefit proceeds will be
limited to your Net Cash Surrender Value as of the exchange date, plus the
premiums paid since the exchange date, less the sum of any increases in Debt,
withdrawal amounts, and any dividends paid in cash since the exchange date. If
an Insured dies by suicide, while sane or insane, within two years of the
effective date of any increase in the Face Amount, we will refund the cost of
insurance charges made with respect to such increase.
NON-PARTICIPATING
This Policy will not share in any of our surplus earnings.
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 Insured, 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 your 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.
OPTIONAL INSURANCE BENEFITS AND OTHER POLICIES
At the time you complete the application for a Policy and subject to certain
requirements, you may elect to add one or more Riders to the Policy as
optional insurance benefits (subject to approval of state insurance
authorities). These optional benefits are: additional insurance coverage for
the accidental death of the Insured (Accidental Death Rider); term insurance
on the Insured's children (Children's Term Rider); annual renewal term
insurance on the Insured (Annual Renewable Term Rider); or any member of his
or her immediate family (Annual Renewable and Convertible Term Rider); added
protection benefit on the Insured (Accounting Benefit Rider); the right to
purchase additional insurance on the Insured's life on certain specified dates
without proof of insurability (Guaranteed Insurability Rider); additional
protection in the event of a disability (Waiver of Charges Rider); or early
payment of coverage if the Insured is diagnosed with a terminal illness
(Accelerated Living Benefit Rider). The cost of any additional insurance
benefits will be deducted as part of the monthly deduction against Accumulated
Value. See "Charges and Deductions". Certain restrictions may apply and are
described in the applicable Rider. Under certain circumstances, a Policy can
be combined with an annual renewable term insurance rider (or Accounting
Benefit Rider) to result in a combined coverage amount equal to the same Face
Amount that could be acquired under a single Policy. Combining a Policy and an
Annual Renewable Term Rider will result in certain charges, including a
surrender charge and possibly cost of insurance charges, for the Policy that
are lower than for the single Policy providing the same coverage amount.
Combining a Policy with an Accounting Benefit Rider could affect certain
charges under the Policy that at times are lower and at times are higher than
under the
40
<PAGE>
Policy. The Accounting Benefit Rider may affect the timing of some Policy
charges for Policies held for certain periods. We offer other variable life
insurance policies that provide insurance protection on the life of a single
insured or on the lives of two insureds, whose loads and charges may vary. A
registered representative authorized to sell the Policy can describe these
extra benefits further. Samples of the provisions for the extra optional
benefits 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 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 Insured 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 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 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 your Policy as a funding vehicle for retirement income purposes
presents several risks, including the risk that if your Policy is
insufficiently funded in relation to the income stream from your Policy, your
Policy can lapse prematurely and result in significant income tax liability to
you in the year in which the lapse occurs. Other risks associated with
borrowing from your Policy also apply. Loans will be automatically repaid from
the gross death benefit at the death of the Insured, 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 your 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". Thus, you should be careful to fashion a life insurance
retirement plan so that your Policy will not lapse prematurely under various
market scenarios as a result of withdrawals and loans taken from your Policy.
Your 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 you 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
41
<PAGE>
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 financial adviser 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
Pacific Mutual Distributors, Inc. ("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
("NASD"). We pay PMD for acting as principal underwriter under a Distribution
Agreement. PMD is a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours. PMD's principal business
address is 700 Newport Center Drive, Newport Beach, California 92660.
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. 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 65% of the expected first year commissionable
premiums, 32% of the second year commissionable premiums, 12% of the
commissionable premiums from years 3 to 10 and 3% of premiums paid thereafter.
Broker-dealers may also receive annual compensation of up to 0.20% of
Accumulated Value less Policy Debt. The annual renewal compensation will be
computed monthly and payable at the end of each Policy Year. 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 and may
elect to receive compensation on a deferred basis. We make no separate
deductions, other than as previously described, from premiums to pay sales
commissions or sales expenses.

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.

<PAGE>
TELEPHONE TRANSFER AND LOAN PRIVILEGES
You 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 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), you 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 your 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 our 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
described in this prospectus and our organization, our authority to issue the
Policies under California law, and the validity of the forms of the Policies
under California law have been passed on by our General Counsel.
Legal matters relating to the federal securities and federal income tax laws
have been passed upon by Dechert Price & Rhoads.
REGISTRATION STATEMENT
A registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 has been filed
with the SEC relating to the offering described in this prospectus. This
prospectus does not include all of the information set forth in the
registration statement, as portions have been omitted pursuant to the rules
and regulations of the SEC. The omitted information may be obtained at the
SEC's principal office in Washington, D.C., upon payment of the SEC's
prescribed fees.
PREPARATION FOR THE YEAR 2000
We rely significantly on computer systems and applications in our daily
operations. In 1995, we began the process of identifying, evaluating and
implementing changes to computer programs necessary to address the year 2000
issue. This issue involves the ability of computer systems to properly
recognize the year 2000. The inability to do so could result in major failures
or miscalculations.
We have a coordinated plan to remediate, or replace if necessary, any non-
compliant systems and to obtain assurances of the ability to be year 2000
compliant by our service providers, vendors and those with significant
relationships with us. Our plan is directed and overseen by an experienced
Vice President dedicated to year 2000 compliance. We completed the
identification of all critical systems and are in the process of remediating
systems.
45
<PAGE>
In addition, we have retained two internationally recognized consultants to
assist in reviewing and remediating our systems and interfaces with third
parties. Our plan calls for all remediation to be completed by the fourth
quarter of 1998 and testing to commence as remediation is completed and
throughout 1999. Some testing has already begun.
Remediation expenses to make our systems year 2000 compliant are currently
estimated to range from $15 to $20 million, which excludes the cost of our
personnel who support year 2000 compliance efforts. We do not anticipate any
other material future costs associated with the year 2000 compliance efforts.
We do not anticipate any other material future costs associated with the year
2000 compliance project, although there can be no assurance. We currently
expect to be year 2000 compliant; however, there can be no assurances that we
will succeed. In the event we or our significant service providers, vendors,
financial institutions or others with which we conduct business, fail to be
year 2000 compliant, there would be a materially adverse effect on us.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Board of Directors
Pacific Life Insurance Company
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of the
Pacific Select Exec Separate Account (comprised of the Money Market, High
Yield Bond, Managed Bond, Government Securities, Growth, Aggressive Equity,
Growth LT, Equity Income, Multi-Strategy, Equity, Bond and Income, Equity
Index, International, Emerging Markets, Variable Account I, Variable Account
II, Variable Account III, and Variable Account IV Variable Accounts) as of
December 31, 1997 and the related statement of operations for the year then
ended (as to the Equity Variable Account and the Bond and Income Variable
Account, for the period from commencement of operations through December 31,
1997) and statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the
period then ended (as to the Aggressive Equity Variable Account, the Emerging
Markets Variable Account, Variable Accounts I, II, III and IV, for the year
ended December 31, 1997 and for the period from commencement of operations
through December 31, 1996). These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Separate Account's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of each of the respective Variable Accounts
constituting the Pacific Select Exec Separate Account as of December 31, 1997
and the results of their operations for the year then ended (as to the Equity
Variable Account and the Bond and Income Variable Account, for the period from
commencement of operations through December 31, 1997) and the changes in their
net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended (as to the
Aggressive Equity Variable Account, the Emerging Markets Variable Account,
Variable Accounts I, II, III and IV, for the year ended December 31, 1997 and
for the period from commencement of operations through December 31, 1996), in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

PACIFIC SELECT EXEC SEPARATE ACCOUNT
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Pacific Select Exec Separate Account (the "Separate Account") is
registered as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended, is currently comprised of eighteen subaccounts called
Variable Accounts: the Money Market Variable Account, the High Yield Bond
Variable Account, the Managed Bond Variable Account, the Government Securities
Variable Account, the Growth Variable Account, the Aggressive Equity Variable
Account, the Growth LT Variable Account, the Equity Income Variable Account,
the Multi-Strategy Variable Account, the Equity Variable Account, the Bond and
Income Variable Account, the Equity Index Variable Account, the International
Variable Account, the Emerging Markets Variable Account, and the Variable
Accounts I through IV. The assets in each of the first fourteen Variable
Accounts are invested in shares of the corresponding portfolios of Pacific
Select Fund and the assets of the last four Variable Accounts are invested in
shares of the corresponding portfolios of M Fund, Inc. (collectively, the
"Funds"). Each Variable Account pursues different investment objectives and
policies. The financial statements of the Funds, including the schedules of
investments, are either included elsewhere in this report or provided
separately and should be read in conjunction with the Separate Account's
financial statements.
During the year ended December 31, 1997, the Separate Account organized and
registered the Equity Variable Account and the Bond and Income Variable
Account with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment
Company Act of 1940. Both Variable Accounts commenced operations on January
10, 1997.
The Separate Account was established by Pacific Life Insurance Company
(formerly named Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Company - see Note 1 to
Financial Statements of the Fund on A-66) on May 12, 1988 and commenced
operations on November 22, 1988. Under applicable insurance law, the assets
and liabilities of the Separate Account are clearly identified and
distinguished from the other assets and liabilities of Pacific Life. The
assets of the Separate Account will not be charged with any liabilities
arising out of any other business conducted by Pacific Life, but the
obligations of the Separate Account, including benefits related to variable
life insurance, are obligations of Pacific Life.
The Separate Account held by Pacific Life represents funds from individual
flexible premium variable life policies. The assets of the Separate Account
are carried at market value.
The preparation of the accompanying financial statements requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.
A. Valuation of Investments
Investments in shares of the Fund are valued at the reported net asset values
of the respective portfolios. Valuation of securities held by the Funds is
discussed in the notes to their financial statements.
B. Security Transactions
Transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on
sales of investments are determined on the basis of identified cost.
C. Federal Income Taxes
The operations of the Separate Account will be reported on the Federal income
tax return of Pacific Life, which is taxed as a life insurance company under
the provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986. Under current tax law, no
Federal income taxes are expected to be paid by Pacific Life with respect to
the operations of the Separate Account.
2. DIVIDENDS
During 1997, the Funds have declared dividends for each portfolio except for
the Aggressive Equity Portfolio. The amounts accrued by the Separate Account
for its share of the dividends were reinvested in additional full and
fractional shares of the related portfolio.
3. CHARGES AND EXPENSES
With respect to variable life insurance policies funded by the Separate
Account, Pacific Life makes certain deductions from premiums for sales load
and state premium taxes before amounts are allocated to the Separate Account.
Pacific Life also makes certain deductions from the net assets of each
Variable Account for the mortality and expense risks Pacific Life assumes,
administrative expenses, cost of insurance, charges for optional benefits and
any sales and underwriting surrender charges. The operating expenses of the
Separate Account are paid by Pacific Life.
4. RELATED PARTY AGREEMENT
Pacific Mutual Distributors, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pacific Life,
is the principal underwriter of variable life insurance policies funded by
interests in the Separate Account, and is compensated by Pacific Life.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
----------------------------
Pacific Life Insurance Company and
Subsidiaries:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial
condition of Pacific Life Insurance Company (formerly Pacific Mutual Life
Insurance Company) and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31,
1997 and 1996, and the related consolidated statements of operations,
stockholder's equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 1997. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Pacific Life Insurance
Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the results
of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 1997 in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
CONVERSION TO MUTUAL HOLDING COMPANY STRUCTURE
Pursuant to consent received from the Insurance Department of the State of
California, Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Company ("Pacific Mutual")
implemented a plan of conversion to form a mutual holding company
structure (the "Conversion") on September 1, 1997. The Conversion created
Pacific LifeCorp, an intermediate stock holding company and Pacific Mutual
Holding Company ("PMHC"), a mutual holding company. Pacific Mutual was
converted to a stock life insurance company and renamed Pacific Life
Insurance Company ("Pacific Life"). Under their respective charters, PMHC
must always own at least 51% of the outstanding voting stock of Pacific
LifeCorp, and Pacific LifeCorp must always own 100% of the voting stock of
Pacific Life. Owners of Pacific Life's annuity contracts and life
insurance policies have certain membership interests in PMHC, consisting
principally of the right to vote on the election of the Board of Directors
of PMHC and on other matters, and certain rights upon liquidation or
dissolution of PMHC.
As a result of the Conversion, $65 million of retained earnings was
allocated for the issuance of 600,000 shares of common stock with a par
value totaling $30 million and $35 million was allocated to paid-in
capital.
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Pacific Life was established in 1868 and is organized under the laws of
the State of California as a stock life insurance company. Pacific Life
conducts business in every state except New York.
Pacific Life and its subsidiaries and affiliates have primary business
operations which consist of life insurance, annuities, pension products,
group employee benefits and investment management and advisory services.
These primary business operations provide a broad range of life insurance,
asset accumulation and investment products for individuals and businesses
and offer a range of investment products to institutions and pension
plans. Additionally, through its major subsidiaries and affiliates,
Pacific Life provides a variety of group employee benefits, as well as
investment management and advisory services.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Pacific Life
Insurance Company and subsidiaries (the "Company") have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and
include the accounts of Pacific Life and its wholly-owned insurance
subsidiaries, PM Group Life Insurance Company ("PM Group") and World-Wide
Holdings Limited, and its noninsurance subsidiaries, Pacific Asset
Management LLC ("PAM"), Pacific Mutual Distributors, Inc. ("PMD"), Pacific
Mutual Realty Finance, Inc. and Pacific Mezzanine Associates, L.L.C. All
significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
Pacific Life prepares its regulatory financial statements based on
accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Insurance Department
of the State of California. These consolidated financial statements differ
from those followed in reports to regulatory authorities (Note 2).
PAM was initially capitalized on December 31, 1997, when Pacific Life
completed a subsidiary restructuring in which all the assets and
liabilities of Pacific Financial Asset Management Corporation ("PFAMCo")
were contributed into this newly formed limited liability company. PFAMCo
was then merged into Pacific Life. On October 30, 1997, Pacific Corinthian
Life Insurance Company ("PCL"-Note 4), a wholly-owned insurance
subsidiary, was merged into Pacific Life, with Pacific Life as the
surviving entity.
ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS ADOPTED
In 1996, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 120, "Accounting and Reporting by Mutual
Life Insurance Enterprises and by Insurance Enterprises for Certain Long-
Duration Participating Contracts", and Interpretation No. 40,
"Applicability of Generally Accepted
65
<PAGE>
Pacific Life Insurance Company and Subsidiaries
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Accounting Principles to Mutual Life Insurance and Other Enterprises" (the
"Interpretation") issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board
("FASB"). SFAS No. 120 and the Interpretation permit mutual life insurance
companies and their insurance subsidiaries to adopt all applicable
authoritative GAAP pronouncements in any general purpose financial
statements that they may issue. This differs from prior years when the
Company issued its regulatory financial statements as general purpose
financial statements. The accompanying consolidated financial statements
for 1997, 1996 and 1995 reflect the effects of implementing SFAS No. 120
and the Interpretation.
On January 1, 1997, the Company adopted SFAS No. 125, "Accounting for
Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of
Liabilities", as amended by SFAS No. 127, "Deferral of the Effective Date
of Certain Provisions of FASB Statement No. 125". SFAS No. 125 is
effective for transfers and servicing of financial assets and
extinguishments of liabilities occurring after December 31, 1996. This
statement provides consistent accounting standards for securitizations and
other transfers of financial assets, determines when financial assets
(liabilities) should be considered sold (settled) and removed from the
statement of financial condition, and determines when related revenues and
expenses should be recognized. Adoption of this accounting standard did
not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial position or
results of operations of the Company.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
Income". SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for the reporting and display
of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general
purpose financial statements. The Company currently plans to adopt SFAS
No. 130 on January 1, 1998.
In February 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 132 "Employers' Disclosures
about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits". SFAS No. 132 revises
current note disclosure requirements for employers' pensions and other
retiree benefits. It does not address recognition or measurement issues.
The Company plans to adopt SFAS No. 132 during 1998.
INVESTMENTS
Available for sale fixed maturity and equity securities are reported at
estimated fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of deferred
income tax and adjustments related to deferred policy acquisition costs,
included as a separate component of equity on the accompanying
consolidated statements of financial condition. Trading securities, which
are included in short-term investments, are reported at estimated fair
value with unrealized gains and losses included in net realized capital
gains on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
For mortgage-backed securities included in fixed maturity securities, the
Company recognizes income using a constant effective yield based on
anticipated prepayments and the estimated economic life of the securities.
When estimates of prepayments change, the effective yield is recalculated
to reflect actual payments to date and anticipated future payments. The
net investment in the securities is adjusted to the amount that would have
existed had the new effective yield been applied since the acquisition of
the securities. This adjustment is reflected in net investment income.
In the first and second quarter of 1995, Pacific Life sold two securities
from the held to maturity category. The amortized cost of the securities
was $62.3 million and a net after tax loss of $0.7 million was realized on
the sales. The securities were sold due to the significant deterioration
of the issuer's creditworthiness.
Beginning with the third quarter of 1995, Pacific Life transferred
approximately $1.5 billion of securities from the held to maturity
category to the available for sale category. This amount represented the
amortized cost of
66
<PAGE>
Pacific Life Insurance Company and Subsidiaries
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
the securities at the date of transfer. The estimated fair value of those
securities was approximately $1.6 billion, resulting in a net after tax
unrealized gain of $52.5 million, which was reflected as a direct increase
to equity. The change in classification was a result of a change in
management's intent with respect to these securities. In order to have the
flexibility to respond to changes in interest rates and to take advantage
of changes in the availability of and the yield on alternative
investments, management determined that the reclassification of these
securities as available for sale was appropriate.
Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined on a
specific identification basis and are included in revenues.
Short-term investments are carried at estimated fair value and include all
trading securities.
Derivative financial instruments are carried at estimated fair value.
Unrealized gains and losses of derivatives used to hedge securities
classified as available for sale are reflected in a separate component of
equity, similar to the accounting of the underlying hedged assets.
Realized gains and losses on derivatives used for hedging are deferred and
amortized over the average life of the related hedged assets or insurance
liabilities. Unrealized gains and losses of other derivatives are
reflected in operations.
Mortgage loans and policy loans are stated at unpaid principal balances.
Real estate is carried at depreciated cost, or for real estate acquired in
satisfaction of debt, estimated fair value less estimated selling costs at
the date of acquisition if lower than the related unpaid balance.
On November 15, 1994, certain of the Company's investment management and
advisory subsidiaries entered into an agreement and plan of consolidation
with Thomson Advisory Group L.P., a Delaware limited partnership with
publicly traded units, to merge into a newly capitalized partnership named
PIMCO Advisors L.P. ("PIMCO Advisors"). In December 1997, PIMCO Advisors
completed a transaction in which it acquired the assets of Oppenheimer
Capital, L.P., including its interest in Oppenheimer Capital, by issuing
approximately 33 million PIMCO Advisors General and Limited Partner units.
In connection with this transaction, the Company increased its investment
in PIMCO Advisors to reflect the excess of the Company's pro rata share of
PIMCO Advisors partners' capital subsequent to this transaction over the
carrying value of the Company's investment in PIMCO Advisors. The net
result of this transaction was to directly increase stockholder's equity
by $85.1 million. The Company's beneficial ownership in PIMCO Advisors was
approximately 42% prior to this transaction and 31% subsequent to the
transaction. Deferred taxes as a result of this transaction have been
established on the accompanying consolidated financial statements. This
investment, which is included in other investments on the accompanying
consolidated statements of financial condition, is accounted for using the
equity method.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents include all liquid debt instruments with an
original maturity of three months or less.
DEFERRED POLICY ACQUISITION COSTS
The costs of acquiring new insurance business, principally commissions,
medical examinations, underwriting, policy issue and other expenses, all
of which vary with and are primarily related to the production of new
business, have been deferred. For universal life, annuity and other
investment contract products, such costs are generally amortized in
proportion to the present value of expected gross profits using the
assumed crediting rate. Adjustments are reflected in earnings or equity in
the period the Company experiences deviations in gross profit assumptions.
Adjustments directly affecting equity result from experience deviations
due to changes in unrealized gains and losses in investments classified as
available for sale. For life insurance products, such costs are being
amortized over the premium-paying period of the related policies in
proportion to premium revenues
67
<PAGE>
Pacific Life Insurance Company and Subsidiaries
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
recognized, using assumptions consistent with those used in computing
policy reserves. For the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, net
amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs included in commission
expenses amounted to $50.2 million, $42.6 million and $39.4 million,
respectively, and included in operating expenses amounted to $29.4
million, $27.4 million and $20.8 million, respectively, on the
accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
PRESENT VALUE OF FUTURE PROFITS
Included in other assets on the accompanying consolidated statement of
financial condition as of December 31, 1996 was $16.1 million which
represented the present value of estimated future profits of acquired
business in connection with the rehabilitation of First Capital Life
Insurance Company ("FCL"-Note 4). The aforementioned future profits were
discounted to provide an appropriate rate of return and were being
amortized over the rehabilitation plan period. Amortization for the years
ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995 amounted to $16.1 million, $24.2
million and $17.1 million, respectively, and is included in commission
expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. During
1996, the Company changed certain assumptions regarding the estimated life
which resulted in an increase in amortization in 1996 of approximately
$17.0 million.
UNIVERSAL LIFE, ANNUITY AND OTHER INVESTMENT CONTRACT DEPOSITS
Universal life, annuity and other investment contract deposits are valued
using the retrospective deposit method and consist principally of deposits
received plus interest credited less accumulated assessments. Interest
credited to these policies primarily ranged from 4.0% to 8.4% during 1997,
1996 and 1995.
FUTURE POLICY BENEFITS
Life insurance reserves are valued using the net level premium method.
Interest rate assumptions range from 4.5% to 9.3% for 1997, 1996 and 1995.
Mortality, morbidity and withdrawal assumptions are generally based on the
Company's experience, modified to provide for possible unfavorable
deviations. Future dividends for participating business are provided for
in the liability for future policy benefits. Included in policy benefits
paid or provided on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations
are dividends to policyholders.
Dividends are provided based on dividend formulas approved by the Board of
Directors and reviewed for reasonableness and equitable treatment of
policyholders by an independent consulting actuary. As of December 31,
1997 and 1996, participating experience rated policies paying dividends
represented approximately 1% of direct written life insurance in force.
STATE GUARANTY FUND ASSESSMENTS
Insurance companies are subject to assessments by life and health guaranty
associations in most states in which they are licensed to do business.
These assessments are based on the volume and type of business they sell
in those states and may be partially recovered in some states through a
future reduction in premium taxes. Based on current information available
from the National Organization of Life and Health Guaranty Association,
the Company, as of December 31, 1997, has accrued in other liabilities on
the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition an amount
adequate for anticipated payments of known insolvencies, net of estimated
recoveries of premium tax offsets.
REVENUES AND EXPENSES
Insurance premiums are recognized as revenue when due. Benefits and
expenses, other than deferred policy acquisition costs, are recognized
when incurred.

Pacific Life Insurance Company and Subsidiaries
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Generally, receipts for universal life, annuities and other investment
contracts are classified as deposits. Policy fees from these contracts
include mortality charges, surrender charges and earned policy service
fees. Expenses related to these products include interest credited to
account balances and benefit amounts in excess of account balances.
Commission revenue from Pacific Life's broker dealer subsidiaries is
generally recorded on a settlement basis, generally the third business day
following the trade date. The difference between the settlement date and
trade date is not considered material.
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION
Depreciation of investment real estate is computed on the straight-line
method over the estimated useful lives which range from 15 to 30 years.
Certain other assets are depreciated or amortized on the straight-line
method over varying periods ranging from 3 to 40 years. Depreciation of
investment real estate is included in net investment income on the
accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Depreciation and
amortization of other assets is included in operating expenses on the
accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
INCOME TAXES
Pacific Life is taxed as a life insurance company for income tax purposes
and is included in the consolidated income tax returns of PMHC. The amount
of income tax expense includes an equity tax calculated by a prescribed
formula that incorporates a differential earnings rate between stock and
mutual life insurance companies. Deferred income taxes are provided for
timing differences in the recognition of revenues and expenses for
financial reporting and income tax purposes.
SEPARATE ACCOUNTS
Separate account assets are recorded at market value and the related
liabilities represent segregated contract owner funds maintained in
accounts with individual investment objectives. The investment results of
separate account assets generally pass through to separate account
contract owners.
ESTIMATED FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The estimated fair value of financial instruments disclosed in Notes 6 and
7 have been determined using available market information and appropriate
valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required to
interpret market data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly,
the estimates presented may not be indicative of the amounts the Company
could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different market
assumptions and/or estimation methodologies could have a significant
effect on the estimated fair value amounts.
BUSINESS RISKS
The Company operates in a business environment which is subject to various
risks and uncertainties. Such risks and uncertainties include interest
rate risk, credit risk and legal and regulatory changes.
Interest rate risk is the potential for interest rates to change, which
can cause fluctuations in the value of investments. To the extent that
fluctuations in interest rates cause the duration of assets and
liabilities to differ, the Company may have to sell assets prior to their
maturity and realize losses. The Company controls its exposure to this
risk by, among other things, asset/liability matching techniques which
attempt to match the duration of assets and liabilities and utilization of
derivative instruments.

1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Credit risk is the risk that issuers of investments owned by the Company
may default or that other parties may not be able to pay amounts due to
the Company. The Company manages its investments to limit credit risk by
diversifying its portfolio among various security types and industry
sectors. The credit risk of financial instruments is controlled through
credit approvals, limits and monitoring procedures. Real estate and
mortgage loan investments are diversified by geographic location and
property type. Management believes that significant concentrations of
credit risk do not exist.
The Company is also exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance
by the counterparties to interest rate swap contracts and other derivative
securities. However, the Company does not anticipate nonperformance by the
counterparties.
The Company is subject to various state and Federal regulatory
authorities. The potential exists for changes in regulatory initiatives
which can result in additional, unanticipated expense to the Company.
Existing Federal laws and regulations affect the taxation of life
insurance or annuity products and insurance companies. There can be no
assurance as to what, if any, future legislation might be enacted, or if
enacted, whether such legislation would contain provisions with possible
negative effects on the Company's life insurance or annuity products.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements
and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 1997
financial statement presentation.

RISK-BASED CAPITAL
Risk-based capital is a method developed by the National Association of
Insurance Commissioners ("NAIC") to measure the minimum amount of capital
appropriate for an insurance company to support its overall business
operations in consideration of its size and risk profile. The formulas for
determining the amount of risk-based capital specify various weighting
factors that are applied to financial balances or various levels of
activity based on the perceived degree of risk. The adequacy of a
company's actual capital is measured by comparing it to the risk-based
capital as determined by the formulas. Companies below minimum risk-based
capital requirements are classified within certain levels, each of which
requires specified corrective action. As of December 31, 1997 and 1996,
Pacific Life and PM Group exceeded the minimum risk-based capital
requirements.
DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS
Dividend payments by Pacific Life to its parent cannot exceed the greater
of 10% of statutory capital and surplus as of the preceding year end or
the statutory net gain from operations for the previous calendar year,
without prior approval from the Insurance Department of the State of
California. Based on this limitation and 1997 statutory results, Pacific
Life could pay approximately $76.5 million in dividends in 1998 without
prior approval.
Extraordinary dividends to Pacific Life from PM Group are subject to
regulatory restrictions and approvals by the Insurance Department of the
State of Arizona, PM Group's state of domicile. The maximum amount of
ordinary dividends that can be paid by PM Group without restriction cannot
exceed the lesser of 10% of surplus as regards policyholders, or the
statutory net gain from operations. During 1997, 1996 and 1995, PM Group
received approval to pay dividends of $14 million, $25 million and $25
million for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995 of which $8
million, $18 million and $17.2 million, respectively, were considered
extraordinary.
In accordance with the terms of the rehabilitation agreement (Note 4), PCL
was precluded from paying any dividends during the rehabilitation period
without the prior consent of the Insurance Department of the State of
California. No such dividends were paid.

3. CLOSED BLOCK
In connection with the Conversion, an arrangement known as a closed block
(the "Closed Block"), was established, for dividend purposes only, for the
exclusive benefit of certain individual life insurance policies that have
an experience based dividend scale for 1997. The Closed Block is designed
to give reasonable assurance to holders of Closed Block policies that
policy dividends will not change solely as a result of the Conversion.
Assets of Pacific Life have been allocated to the Closed Block in an
amount that produces cash flows, which, together with anticipated
revenues, are expected to be sufficient to support the policies. Pacific
Life is not required to support the payment of dividends on these policies
from its general funds. The Closed Block will continue in effect until
either the last policy is no longer in force, or the dissolution of the
Closed Block. Total assets of $316.2 million and total liabilities of
$356.0 million for the Closed Block are included in other assets and other
liabilities, respectively, in the accompanying consolidated statements of
financial condition as of December 31, 1997. The contribution to income
from the Closed Block of $5.7 million, consisting of net revenues and
expenses generated by the Closed Block is included in other income in the
accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the year ended
December 31, 1997.
4. REHABILITATION OF FIRST CAPITAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
On September 30, 1997, PCL completed the rehabilitation of FCL pursuant to
a five-year rehabilitation plan approved by the California Superior Court
and the Insurance Department of the State of California (the
"Rehabilitation Plan"). Under the terms of the Rehabilitation Plan, FCL's
insurance policies in force, primarily individual annuities and universal
life insurance, were restructured and assumed by PCL on December 31, 1992,
pursuant to an assumption reinsurance agreement and asset purchase
agreement. On October 30, 1997, PCL was merged into Pacific Life, with
Pacific Life as the surviving entity.
5. ACQUISITION OF INSURANCE BLOCK OF BUSINESS
On June 1, 1997, Pacific Life acquired a block of corporate-owned life
insurance ("COLI") policies from Confederation Life Insurance Company
(U.S.) in Rehabilitation, which is currently under rehabilitation, which
consisted of approximately 38,000 policies having a face amount of
insurance of $8.6 billion and reserves of approximately $1.7 billion. The
assets received as part of this acquisition amounted to approximately $1.2
billion in cash and approximately $0.4 billion in policy loans. This block
is primarily non-leveraged COLI.
As part of this transaction, an amount equal to the excess of the
estimated fair value of the reserves assumed over the estimated fair value
of the assets acquired which represents the cost of acquiring the
business, amounting to $43.4 million at December 31, 1997, is included in
deferred policy acquisition costs in the accompanying consolidated
statements of financial condition. Amortization of this asset for the year
ended December 31, 1997 was $0.9 million and is included in commission
expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

7. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value
of these financial instruments as of December 31, 1997 and 1996:
MORTGAGE LOANS
The estimated fair value of the mortgage loan portfolio is determined by
discounting the estimated future cash flows, using a year-end market rate
which is applicable to the yield, credit quality and average maturity of
the composite portfolio.
POLICY LOANS
The carrying amounts of policy loans are a reasonable estimate of their
fair values.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The carrying amounts of these items are a reasonable estimate of their
fair values.
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Derivatives are financial instruments whose value or cash flows are
"derived" from another source, such as an underlying security. They can
facilitate total return and, when used for hedging, they achieve the
lowest cost and most efficient execution of positions. Derivatives can
also be used to leverage by using very large notional amounts or by
creating formulas that multiply changes in the underlying security. The
Company's approach is to avoid highly leveraged or overly complex
investments. The Company utilizes certain derivative financial instruments
to diversify its business risk and to minimize its exposure to
fluctuations in market prices, interest rates or basis risk as well as for
facilitating total return. Risk is limited through modeling derivative
performance in product portfolios for hedging and setting loss limits in
total return portfolios.
Derivatives used by the Company involve elements of credit risk and market
risk in excess of amounts recognized in the accompanying consolidated
financial statements. The notional amounts of these instruments reflect
the extent of involvement in the various types of financial instruments.
The estimated fair values of these instruments are based on quoted market
prices, dealer quotations or internal price estimates believed to be
comparable to dealer quotations. These amounts estimate what the Company
would have to pay or receive if the contracts were terminated. The Company
determines, on an individual counterparty basis, the need for collateral
or other security to support financial instruments with off-balance sheet
counterparty risk.

</TABLE>
Interest Rate Floors and Caps, Options and Swaptions
----------------------------------------------------
The Company uses interest rate floors and caps, options and swaptions to
hedge against fluctuations in interest rates and in its total return
portfolios. Interest rate floor agreements entitle the Company to receive
the differential, if below, between the specified rate and the current
value of the underlying index. Interest rate cap agreements entitle the
Company to receive the differential, if above, between the specified rate
and the current value of the underlying index. Options purchased involve
the right, but not the obligation, to purchase the underlying securities
at a specified price during a given time period. Swaptions are options to
enter into a swap transaction at a specified price. The Company uses
written covered call options on a limited basis. Gains and losses on
covered calls are offset by gains and losses on the underlying position.
Options and floors are reported as assets and options written are reported
as liabilities in the consolidated statements of financial condition. Cash
requirements for these instruments are generally limited to the premium
paid by the Company at acquisition. The purchase premium of these
instruments is amortized on a constant effective yield basis and included
as a component of net investment income over the term of the agreement.
Interest rate floors and caps, options and swaptions mature during fiscal
years 1998 through 2007.
Interest Rate Swap Contracts
----------------------------
The Company uses interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk. The
interest rate swap agreements generally involve the exchange of fixed and
floating rate interest payments or the exchange of floating to floating
interest payments tied to different indexes. Generally, no premium is paid
to enter into the contract and no principal payments are made by either
party. The amounts to be received or paid pursuant to these agreements are
accrued and recognized through an adjustment to net investment income in
the accompanying consolidated statements of operations over the life of
the agreements. The interest rate swap contracts mature during fiscal
years 1998 through 2021.
77
<PAGE>
Pacific Life Insurance Company and Subsidiaries
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
7. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)
Asset Swap Contracts
--------------------
The Company uses asset swap contracts to manage interest rate and equity
risk to better match portfolio duration to liabilities. Asset swap
contracts involve the exchange of upside equity potential for preferred
cash flow streams. The amounts to be received or paid pursuant to these
agreements are accrued and recognized through an adjustment to net
investment income in the accompanying consolidated statements of
operations over the life of the agreements. The asset swap contracts
mature during fiscal years 1998 through 2003.
Credit and Total Return Swaps
-----------------------------
The Company uses credit and total return swaps to take advantage of market
opportunities. Credit swaps involve the receipt of floating or fixed rate
payments in exchange for assuming potential credit losses of an underlying
security. Total return swaps involve the exchange of floating rate
payments for the total return performance of a specified index or market.
The amounts to be received or paid pursuant to these agreements are
accrued and recognized through an adjustment to net investment income in
the accompanying consolidated statements of operations over the life of
the agreements. Credit and total return swaps mature during fiscal years
1998 through 2013.
Financial Futures Contracts
---------------------------
The Company uses exchange-traded financial futures contracts to hedge cash
flow timing differences between assets and liabilities and overall
portfolio duration. Assets and liabilities are rarely acquired or sold at
the same time, which creates a need to hedge their change in value during
the unmatched period. In addition, foreign currency futures may be used to
hedge foreign currency risk on non-U.S. dollar denominated securities.
Financial futures contracts obligate the holder to buy or sell the
underlying financial instrument at a specified future date for a set price
and may be settled in cash or delivery of the financial instrument. Price
changes on futures are settled daily through the daily margin cash flows.
The notional amounts of the contracts do not represent future cash
requirements, as the Company intends to close out open positions prior to
expiration.
Foreign Currency Derivatives
----------------------------
The Company enters into foreign exchange forward contracts and swaps to
hedge against fluctuations in foreign currency exposure. Foreign currency
derivatives involve the exchange of foreign currency denominated payments
for U.S. dollar denominated payments. Gains and losses on foreign exchange
forward contracts offset currency gains and losses on the related assets.
The amounts to be received or paid under the foreign currency swaps are
accrued and recognized through an adjustment to net investment income in
the accompanying consolidated statements of operations over the life of
the agreements. Foreign currency derivatives expire during fiscal years
1998 through 2011.
GUARANTEED INTEREST CONTRACTS AND DEPOSIT LIABILITIES
The estimated fair values of fixed maturity guaranteed interest contracts
are estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar
remaining maturities. The estimated fair value of deposit liabilities with
no defined maturities is the amount payable on demand.
ANNUITY LIABILITIES
The estimated fair value of annuity liabilities approximates carrying
value and primarily includes policyholder deposits and accumulated
credited interest.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK
Pacific Life has issued certain contracts to plan sponsors totaling $1.6
billion as of December 31, 1997, pursuant to the terms of which the plan
sponsor retains direct ownership and control of the assets related to
these contracts. Pacific Life agrees to provide benefit responsiveness in
the event that plan benefit requests exceed plan cash flows. In return for
this guarantee, Pacific Life receives a fee which varies by contract.
Pacific Life sets the investment guidelines to provide for appropriate
credit quality and cash flow matching.

December 31, 1997 and 1996.
The borrowing limit for PAM as of December 31, 1997 and 1996 was $200
million and $150 million, respectively. The interest rate averaged 5.8%,
5.6% and 6.1% for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995,
respectively. The balance outstanding as of December 31, 1997 and 1996
totaled $104 million and $95.5 million, respectively. Outstanding debt is
due and payable in 1998 and subject to renewal.
During 1992, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pacific Life entered into a
credit agreement with a group of banks for borrowings of $45 million.
Proceeds of this note were paid to PCL in connection with the issuance of
a certificate of contribution by PCL (Note 4). On December 31, 1996, the
applicable interest rate was 6.2%. The outstanding balance of $25 million
was prepaid per the terms of the agreement on January 27, 1997.
Pacific Life has $150 million of long-term debt which consists of surplus
notes outstanding at an interest rate of 7.9% maturing on December 30,
2023. Interest is payable semiannually on June 30 and December 30. The
surplus notes may not be redeemed at the option of Pacific Life or any
holder of the surplus notes. The surplus notes are unsecured and
subordinated to all present and future senior indebtedness and policy
claims of Pacific Life. Each payment of interest on and the payment of
principal of the surplus notes may be made only with the prior approval of
the Insurance Commissioner of the State of California. Interest expense
amounted to $11.8 million for each of the years ended December 31, 1997,
1996 and 1995 and is included in net investment income in the accompanying
consolidated statements of operations.
10. INCOME TAXES
As required by SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes", the Company
accounts for income taxes using the liability method. Under SFAS No. 109,
the deferred tax consequences of changes in tax rates or laws must be
computed on the amounts of temporary differences and carryforwards
existing at the date a new law is enacted. Recording the effects of the
change involves adjusting deferred tax liabilities and assets with a
corresponding charge or credit recognized in the provision for income
taxes. The objective is to measure a deferred tax liability or asset using
the enacted tax rates and laws expected to apply to taxable income in the
periods in which the deferred tax liability or asset is expected to be
settled or realized.
The provision for income taxes is as follows:

11. REINSURANCE
The Company accounts for reinsurance transactions utilizing SFAS No. 113,
"Accounting and Reporting for Reinsurance of Short-Duration And Long-
Duration Contracts". SFAS No. 113 establishes the conditions required for
a contract with a reinsurer to be accounted for as reinsurance and
prescribes accounting and reporting standards for those contracts. Amounts
receivable from reinsurers for reinsurance on future policy benefits,
universal life deposits, and unpaid losses is reported as an asset and
included in other assets on the accompanying consolidated statements of
financial condition.
The Company has reinsurance agreements with other insurance companies for
the purpose of diversifying risk and limiting exposure on larger risks or,
in the case of a producer-owned reinsurance company, to diversify risk and
retain top producing agents. All assets associated with reinsured business
remain with, and under the control of the Company. Approximate amounts
recoverable (payable) from (to) reinsurers include the following amounts:

As of December 31, 1997, 72% of the reinsurance recoverables were from one
reinsurer, of which 100% is secured by payables to the reinsurer. To the
extent that the assuming companies become unable to meet their obligations
under these agreements, the Company remains contingently liable. The
Company does not anticipate nonperformance by the assuming companies.

PENSION PLANS
Pacific Life has defined benefit pension plans which cover all eligible
employees who have one year of continuous employment and have attained age
21. The full-benefit vesting period for all participants is five years.
Benefits for employees are based on years of service and the highest five
consecutive years of compensation during the last ten years of employment.
Pacific Life's funding policy is to contribute amounts to the plan
sufficient to meet the minimum funding requirements set forth in the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, plus such additional
amounts as may be determined appropriate. Contributions are intended to
provide

not only for benefits attributed to employment to date but also for those
expected to be earned in the future. All such contributions are made to a
tax-exempt trust. Plan assets consist primarily of group annuity contracts
issued by Pacific Life, as well as participating units of a real estate
trust and mutual funds managed by an indirect subsidiary of Pacific Life.

future compensation levels was 5.5% and 6.0%, respectively. The expected
long-term rate of return on plan assets was 8.5% in 1997 and 1996.
In connection with the merger of PCL into Pacific Life as discussed in
Note 4, Pacific Life assumed sponsorship of PCL's defined benefit pension
plan. This pension plan provides for retirement income benefits at age 65
with reduced benefits for early retirement. Effective December 31, 1997,
PCL's defined benefit plan merged into Pacific Life's plan. All benefits
associated with PCL's plan remain unchanged subsequent to the merger.

POSTRETIREMENT HEALTH CARE AND LIFE INSURANCE PLANS
Pacific Life sponsors a defined benefit health care plan and a defined
benefit life insurance plan (the "Plans") that provide postretirement
benefits for all eligible retirees and their dependents. Generally,
qualified employees may become eligible for these benefits if they reach
normal retirement age, have been covered under Pacific Life's policy as an
active employee for a minimum continuous period prior to the date retired,
and have an employment date before January 1, 1990. The Plans contain
cost-sharing features such as deductibles and coinsurance, and require
retirees to make contributions which can be adjusted annually. Pacific
Life's commitment to qualified employees who retire after April 1, 1994 is
limited to specific dollar amounts. Pacific Life reserves the right to
modify or terminate the Plans at any time. As in the past, the general
policy is to fund these benefits on a pay-as-you-go basis. The amount of
benefits paid under the programs during 1997, 1996 and 1995 was
approximately $1.5 million, $1.6 million and $1.7 million, respectively.
Components of net periodic postretirement benefit cost are as follows:

The assumed health care cost trend rate used in measuring the accumulated
benefit obligation was 9% for 1997 and 1996 and is assumed to decrease
gradually to 4% in 2003 and remain at that level thereafter. The amount
reported is materially effected by the health care cost trend rate
assumptions. If the health care cost trend rate assumptions were increased
by 1%, the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation as of December
31, 1997 and 1996 would be increased by 8.5% and 11.5%, respectively. The
effect of this change would increase the

aggregate of the service and interest cost components of the net periodic
benefit cost by 7.7%, 12.3% and 11.4% for 1997, 1996 and 1995,
respectively.
The discount rate used in determining the accumulated postretirement
benefit obligation is 7.0% and 7.5% for 1997 and 1996, respectively.
OTHER PLANS
Pacific Life provides a voluntary Retirement Incentive Savings Plan
("RISP") pursuant to Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code covering
all eligible employees of the Company. Effective October 1, 1997, Pacific
Life's RISP changed the matching percentage of each employee's
contributions from 50% to 75%, up to a maximum of six percent of eligible
employee compensation and restricted the matched investment to an Employee
Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") sponsored by Pacific LifeCorp. The ESOP was
formed at the time of the Conversion and is currently only available to
the participants of the RISP in the form of matching contributions.
Pacific Life also has a deferred compensation plan which permits certain
employees to defer portions of their compensation and earn a guaranteed
interest rate on the deferred amounts. The interest rate is determined
annually and is guaranteed for one year. The compensation which has been
deferred has been accrued and the primary expense, other than
compensation, related to this plan is interest on the deferred amounts.
The Company also has performance based incentive compensation plans for
its employees.
14. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Pacific Life serves as the investment advisor for the Pacific Select Fund,
the investment vehicle provided to the Company's variable life and
variable annuity contractholders. Pacific Life charges fees based upon the
net asset value of the portfolios of the Pacific Select Fund, which
amounted to $27.5 million, $14.3 million and $6.5 million for the years
ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. In addition, Pacific
Life entered into an agreement with the Pacific Select Fund on October 1,
1995, to provide certain support services for an administration fee which
is based on an allocation of actual costs. Such administration fees
amounted to $165,000, $108,000 and $28,550 for the years ended December
31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
PIMCO Advisors provides investment advisory services to the Company for
which the fees amounted to $11.4 million, $6.2 million and $5.0 million
for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
Included in equity securities on the accompanying consolidated statements
of financial condition are investments in mutual funds and other
investments managed by PIMCO Advisors which amounted to $46.5 million and
$90.8 million as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
Pacific Life provides certain support services to PIMCO Advisors. Charges
for these services are based on an allocation of actual costs and amounted
to $1.2 million, $1.4 million and $1.9 million for the years ended
December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
15. TERMINATION AND NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENTS
Effective November 15, 1994, in connection with the PIMCO Advisors
transaction (Note 1), termination and non-competition agreements were
entered into with certain former key employees of PAM's subsidiaries.
These agreements provide terms and conditions for the allocation of future
proceeds received from distributions and sales of certain PIMCO Advisors
units and other noncompete payments. When the amount of future obligations
to be made to a key employee is determinable, a liability for such amount
is established.

15. TERMINATION AND NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENTS (CONTINUED)
For the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, approximately $85.8
million, $35.3 million and $28.6 million, respectively, is included in
operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations related to
the termination and non-competition agreements. This includes payments of
$43.1 million in 1997 to former key employees who elected to sell to PAM's
subsidiaries their rights to the future proceeds from the PIMCO Advisors
units.

</TABLE>
17. LITIGATION
The Company has been named in civil litigation proceedings which appear to
be substantially similar to other litigation brought against many life
insurers alleging misconduct in the sale of products. These matters are
sometimes referred to as market conduct litigation. The litigation against
the Company purports to include all persons in the United States who
purchased life insurance and annuity products from the Company during the
period from 1982 to present. The Company has retained national and local
counsel experienced in the handling of similar matters for other life
insurers. Informal discovery has commenced in these matters. At this time,
it is not feasible to make a meaningful estimate of the amount or range of
loss that could result from an unfavorable outcome in such actions.
Further, the Company is a respondent in a number of other legal
proceedings, some of which involve allegations for extra-contractual
damages.
In the opinion of management, the outcome of the foregoing proceedings is
not likely to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial
position or results of operations of the Company.

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 illustrated include the following:
1. Age 45, Guideline Premium Test, Death Benefit Option A, $10,000 annual
premium, Current Cost of Insurance Rates.
2. Age 45, Guideline Premium Test, Death Benefit Option A, $10,000 annual
premium, Guaranteed Cost of Insurance Rates.
3. Age 45, Guideline Premium Test, Death Benefit Option B, $10,000 annual
premium, Current Cost of Insurance Rates.
4. Age 45, Guideline Premium Test, Death Benefit Option B, $10,000 annual
premium, Guaranteed Cost of Insurance Rates.
5. Age 45, Guideline Premium Test, Death Benefit Option C, $10,000 annual
premium, Current Cost of Insurance Rates.
6. Age 45, Guideline Premium Test, Death Benefit Option C, $10,000 annual
premium, Guaranteed Cost of Insurance Rates.
7. Age 45, Cash Value Accumulation Test, Death Benefit Option A, $10,000
annual premium, Current Cost of Insurance Rates.
8. Age 45, Cash Value Accumulation Test, Death Benefit Option A, $10,000
annual premium, Guaranteed Cost of Insurance Rates.
9. Age 45, Cash Value Accumulation Test, Death Benefit Option B, $10,000
annual premium, Current Cost of Insurance Rates.
10. Age 45, Cash Value Accumulation Test, Death Benefit Option B, $10,000
annual premium, Guaranteed Cost of Insurance Rates.
11. Age 45, Cash Value Accumulation Test, Death Benefit Option C, $10,000
annual premium, Current Cost of Insurance Rates.
12. Age 45, Cash Value Accumulation Test, Death Benefit Option C, $10,000
annual premium, Guaranteed Cost of Insurance Rates.
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, the cost of
insurance charges, the M&E Risk Charges and surrender charges. The daily
investment advisory fee is assumed to be equivalent to an annual weighted rate
of 0.60% of the aggregate average daily net assets of the Fund and M Fund.
This hypothetical rate is representative of the weighted average investment
advisory fee applicable to the Portfolios of the Fund and M 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.
91
<PAGE>
The tables also reflect other expenses of the Fund and M Fund at the
weighted average rate of 0.08% of the average daily net assets of a Portfolio,
which amounts to 0.68% of the average daily net assets of a Portfolio
including the investment advisory fee, operating expenses, and exclusive of
any foreign taxes. Foreign taxes for the year ended December 31, 1997 were the
following percentages of the average daily net assets of the Portfolios: 0.02%
for the Equity Income Portfolio; 0.01% for the Multi-Strategy Portfolio; 0.25%
for the International Portfolio; 0.02% for the Growth LT Portfolio; 0.01% for
the Equity Portfolio; 0.01% for the Equity Index Portfolio; 0.19% for the
Emerging Markets Portfolio; 0.23% for Variable Account I; and 0.01% for
Variable Account IV.
After deduction of the charges and expenses for the Fund and M Fund as
described above, the illustrated gross annual investment rates of return of
0%, 6%, and 12% correspond to approximate net annual rates of return of -
0.68%, 5.28%, and 11.24%. 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 Insured's Age, underwriting class, 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.

<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>

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

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,

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

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
applications for the purchase of the Contracts.
Selling Broker-Dealer and General Agent accept such appointment and each
agrees to use its best efforts to find purchasers for the Contracts acceptable
to Pacific Mutual. Selling Broker-Dealer and General Agent will seek purchasers
of Securities Related Contracts only while the registration statement relating
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.

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.

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

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

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

F. CONFIDENTIALITY
Selling Broker-Dealer and General Agent shall keep confidential all
information obtained pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation,

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

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

<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.

<PAGE>
B. LIMITATIONS

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

<PAGE>
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.
Guideline Premium Limitation - This subsection applies only if you have elected
the Guideline Premium Test as the Death Benefit Qualification Test. In order
for this policy to be treated as life insurance under the Code, the sum of the
premiums paid less a portion of any withdrawals, as defined in the Code, may not
exceed the greater of:
. The Guideline Single Premium; or
. The sum of the Guideline Level Premiums to the date of payment.
The amounts of the Guideline Premiums are shown on the Policy Specification
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
change will be shown in the supplemental schedule of benefits and premiums.
The Guideline Premiums are determined according to the rules applicable to this
policy set forth in the Code. The Guideline Premiums will be adjusted to
conform to any changes in the Code. In the event that a premium payment would
exceed these 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 Code.
Modified Endowment Contract (MEC) Premium Limitation - In order for this policy
to avoid being treated as a MEC, the sum of premiums paid less a portion of any
withdrawals may not exceed the 7-Pay limit as defined in the Code. In the event
that a premium payment would exceed the 7-Pay limit, we reserve the right to
refund the excess payment to you, unless you have previously notified us in
writing that such payments may be accepted by us and applied to the policy.
DEATH BENEFIT
Death Benefit - This policy provides a death benefit on the death of the
Insured. The death benefit, Death Benefit Option and the two Death Benefit
Qualification Tests are described in this section. On the date of death, the
death benefit is calculated as the larger of:
. The Guideline Minimum Death Benefit calculated under the Death Benefit
Qualification Test elected; and
. The death benefit as calculated under the Death Benefit Option in effect.
Death Benefit Qualification Test - Unless you have elected otherwise, the Death
Benefit Qualification Test for this policy is the Guideline Premium Test. The
Death Benefit Qualification Test for this policy appears in the Policy
Specifications section. The Death Benefit Qualification Test may not be changed
for the life of the contract. The two Death Benefit Qualification Tests are
explained in this subsection.
1. Cash Value Accumulation Test - The Guideline Minimum Death Benefit will be
greater of the amount required for this policy to be deemed "life
insurance" according to the Code or 101% of the Accumulated Value. Such
required amount will be determined based on the Accumulated Value and the
Cash Value Accumulation Test defined in Code Section 7702(b).
2. Guideline Premium Test - The Guideline Minimum Death Benefit at any time is
the Accumulated Value multiplied by the death benefit Percentage shown in
the following table:

We reserve the right to reduce the Guideline Minimum Death Benefit by requiring
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.
This policy is intended to qualify as a life insurance contract under the Code
for Federal Tax purposes, and the death benefit under this policy is intended to
qualify for income tax exclusion under the 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 you 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 and 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 such
time that are consistent with such an increase.
MEC Rules - Unless specified otherwise by you in writing, it is intended that
this policy will not be treated as a MEC under the 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 you 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 and for changes in Accumulated Value attributable to the
excess amount. If this 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 every 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 such time
that are consistent with such an increase.

Death Benefit Options--There are three Death Benefit Options, as described in
this subsection. You have elected the Death Benefit Option in the application.
The Death Benefit Option for this policy appears in the Policy Specifications.
. Option A--The death benefit equals the Face Amount. The death benefit is
never less than the Face Amount.
. Option B--The death benefit equals the Face Amount plus the Accumulated
Value on the date of death. The death benefit is never less than the Face
Amount.
. Option C--The death benefit is the Face Amount plus the sum of the premiums
paid minus the sum of any withdrawals taken and any other distribution of
the Accumulated Value to the date of death. If the sum of the withdrawals
is greater than the sum of the premiums paid, then the death benefit will
be less than the Face Amount.
The Death Benefit Option may be changed to Option A or B upon Written Request at
a maximum of once per year. Changes to Option C are not 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 we receive your Written Request at our 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 under the Code.
Death Benefit Proceeds--The death benefit proceeds are the actual amount payable
if the Insured dies while this policy is in force. The death benefit proceeds
are equal to the death benefit, as of the date of the Insured's death, less any
Policy Debt and less any due and unpaid monthly deductions occurring during a
grace period.
We will pay the death benefit proceeds to the beneficiary after we receive, at
our Home Office, proof satisfactory to us of the Insured's death and such other
information as we may reasonably require. The death benefit proceeds paid are
subject to the conditions and adjustments defined in other policy provisions,
such as General Provisions, Withdrawals and Policy Loans.
Face Amount Change--Subject to our approval, the Owner may change the Face
Amount if such request is made:
. during the lifetime of the Insured;
. no more often than once in any policy year; and
. on your Written Request while this policy is in force.
Face Amount Increase--The effective date of the increased Face Amount will be
the first Monthly Payment Date on or following the date all applicable
conditions are met. A supplemental schedule of benefits and premiums will be
issued. This schedule will include:
. the risk class;
. the effective date;
. the M&E Risk Charges;
. the Surrender Charges;
. the guaranteed Cost of Insurance Rates;
. the amount of the increase and the total Face Amount after the increase;
and
. if the Guideline Premium Test is used, the new Guideline Premiums.
An increase in Face Amount will be allowed only if it results in a death benefit
increase no less than our minimum limit in effect on the date of the request.
Page 9
<PAGE>
We reserve the right to charge a fee not to exceed $100 for each increase. Any
such fee will be deducted from the Accumulated Value of the Fixed and the
Variable Accounts in the proportion that each bears to the Accumulated Value
less Policy Debt on the effective date of the increase.
Face Amount Decrease--The effective date of the decreased Face Amount will be
the first Monthly Payment Date on or following the date we receive the Written
Request. Existing insurance will be decreased or eliminated in the following
order:
. first, the most recent increase;
. second, the next most recent increases successively; and
. finally, the original Face Amount.
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
. if the Death Benefit Qualification is the Guideline Premium Test, the new
Guideline Premiums.
If the Guideline Premium Test has been elected as the Death Benefit
Qualification Test, the request for a decrease in the Face Amount will be
subject to the Guideline Premiums Limitation as defined in the 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 greater than
the Net Cash Surrender Value to be distributed from the policy.
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 under the Code.
ACCUMULATED VALUE
Accumulated Value--is the sum of the Fixed Accumulated Value plus the Variable
Accumulated Value plus the Loan Account and any interest credited to it.
Fixed Accumulated Value--The Fixed Accumulated Value is the sum of the
Accumulated Value in each Fixed Option as of the last Valuation Period.
This subsection describes how we calculate the Accumulated Value in each Fixed
Option. We credit interest on a daily basis using a 365-day year and at a rate
not less than an annual effective rate of 3.00%. At our discretion, we may
credit a higher rate of interest. The Accumulated Value for each Fixed Option
on any date is the following, including interest on each:
. the Accumulated Value for the Fixed Option on the prior Monthly Payment
Date;
. plus the amount of any Net Premium received and allocated to the Fixed
Option since the last Monthly Payment Date;
. plus the amount of any transfer to the Fixed Option, including transfers
from the Loan Account, since the last Monthly Payment Date;
. minus the monthly deduction and other deductions due, if any, and assessed
against the Fixed Option; and
. minus the amount of any withdrawals, or transfers from the Fixed Option,
including transfers to the Loan Account, since the last Monthly Payment
Date.
Page 10
<PAGE>
Variable Accumulated Value--The Variable Accumulated Value is the sum of the
Accumulated Value in each Variable Account.
This subsection describes how we calculate the Accumulated Value in each of the
Variable Accounts. Assets in each Variable Account 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 Net Premium received and allocated to the Variable
Account; and
. 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;
. Surrenders and 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 for a
transaction, we divide the dollar amount of the transaction by the Unit Value of
the affected Variable Account.
To determine your Accumulated Value in each Variable Account, we multiply the
number of Accumulation Units in the Variable Account by the Unit Value of the
Variable Account. The number of Accumulation Units in each Variable Account will
not change because of subsequent changes in Unit Value.
The Unit Value of each Variable Account initially was $10. The Unit Value of
each Variable Account is determined on each Valuation Date. To calculate the
Unit Value of a Variable Account on any Valuation Date, we adjust the Unit Value
from the previous Valuation Date for a number of factors, including:
. any dividends or distributions paid to the Variable Account;
. the investment performance of the Variable Account, which is based on the
investment performance of the corresponding portfolio and includes expenses
related to the portfolio's management;
. charges, if any, that may be assessed by us for income taxes attributable
to the operation of the Variable Account.
Loan Account--The Loan Account is the amount set aside to secure Policy Debt.
The amount in the Loan Account on any date is the following, including interest
on each:
. the amount in the Loan Account on the prior anniversary;
. plus any loan taken since the prior anniversary; and
. minus any loan amount repaid since the prior anniversary.
We will credit interest to the Loan Account on a daily basis using a 365-day
year and at a rate equivalent to an annual effective rate of 3.00%. On each
policy anniversary, any interest earned and held in the Loan Account will be
transferred to the Investment Options in accordance with your most recent
premium allocation instructions.
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;
Page 11
<PAGE>
. the M&E Risk Charge;
. the Administrative Charge, if any; and
. rider charges, if any.
Unless you have made a Written Request to the contrary, the Monthly Deduction
will be charged proportionately to the Accumulated Value in each Variable
Account and each Fixed Option 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
following:
. the initial Face Amount; plus
. each increase in the Face Amount.
The monthly Cost of Insurance Charge for the death benefit payable under this
policy, is (1) multiplied by (2), where:
(1) is the applicable monthly Cost of Insurance Rate; and
(2) is the Net Amount at Risk.
Net Amount at Risk--The Net Amount at Risk is equal to the death benefit as of
the most recent Monthly Payment Date divided by 1.002466, then reduced by the
Accumulated Value at the beginning of the policy month before the Monthly
Deduction is due.
If there have been increases of Face Amount, then the Net Amount at Risk will be
proportionately allocated to each increase according to the Face Amount of each
increase in force as of the Monthly Payment Date.
Cost of Insurance Rates--The Cost of Insurance Rates are based on a number of
factors, including the Insured's Age, Risk Classification and the policy
duration. 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 in the Policy Specifications. Any changes in the Cost of Insurance
Rates will apply uniformly to all members of the same class.
M&E Risk Charge--The Mortality and Expense Risk Charge (M&E Risk Charge) is to
compensate us for the risk we assume that mortality, expenses and other costs of
providing your policy will be greater than estimated. Beginning on the Policy
Date and monthly thereafter, the M&E Risk Charge will be the sum of the M&E Risk
Asset Charge and the M&E Risk Face Amount Charge. These are calculated as
follows:
The M&E Risk Asset Charge is applied to the unloaned Accumulated Value as of the
Monthly Payment Date, but only until the Insured's Age 100, as follows: A charge
of 0.000375 (0.45% annually) applied to the first $25,000 of unloaned
Accumulated Value plus a charge of 0.000042 (0.05% annually) applied to the
unloaned Accumulated Value above $25,000.
The M&E Risk Face Amount Charge is the amount shown in the Policy
Specifications, and is based on the Face Amount at policy issue. If there have
been increases in the Face Amount, each increase will have a corresponding M&E
Risk Face Amount Charge related to the amount of the increase. These charges
will be specified in the supplemental schedule of benefits at the time of the
increase.
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 equal the amount shown in the Policy Specifications.
Premium Load--A Premium Load will be charged each time that a premium is paid to
cover certain state premium and Federal tax and certain sales and distribution
costs. The Premium Load will equal
Page 12
<PAGE>
the premium paid multiplied by the Premium Load rate shown in the Policy
Specifications. 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 charge for state premium tax and/or for Federal
tax. We will only increase the Premium Load if the effective tax paid by us
increases. We will notify you of any such change.
Other Taxes--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.
Grace Period and Lapse--If the Accumulated Value less Policy 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.
At the start of the grace period, we will send notice 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 for your policy to remain in force. A minimum of three times
the monthly deduction due when the insufficiency occurred, plus Premium Load,
must be paid. Premiums we receive during the grace period will be applied to
your policy according to your most recent premium allocation instructions.
There is no penalty for paying a premium during the grace period. 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 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 the following:
. a written application;
. evidence of insurability satisfactory to us;
. 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.
The effective date of the reinstated policy will be the first Monthly Payment
Date on or following the date we approve your reinstatement application. When
this policy is reinstated, the Accumulated Value will be equal to the
Accumulated Value on the date of lapse subject to the following. If the policy
is reinstated after the first Monthly Payment Date following lapse, the
Accumulated Value will be reduced by the amount of any Policy Debt on the date
of reinstatement. If the policy is reinstated on the first Monthly Payment Date
following lapse, any Policy 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 Loan provision.
TRANSFERS
Transfers--After your initial Net Premium has been allocated according to your
instructions and while your policy is in force, you may, upon Written Request,
transfer your Accumulated Value, or a part of it, among the Investment Options
as provided in this section. No transfer may be made if the policy is in a
grace period and the required premium has not been paid.
Transfers from the Variable Accounts to the Fixed Options may be made only
during the policy month preceding each policy anniversary.
Page 13
<PAGE>
Transfers from the Fixed Account: One transfer from the Fixed Account may be
made in any twelve-month period. Transfers from the Fixed Account will be
limited to the greater of $5,000 or 25% of the Accumulated Value in the Fixed
Account.
Transfers from the Fixed LT Account: One transfer from the Fixed LT Account may
be made in any twelve month period. Transfers from the Fixed LT Account will be
limited to the greater of $5,000 or 10% of the Accumulated Value in the Fixed LT
Account.
Allocations into the Fixed LT Account: We reserve the right to limit the amount
allocated to the Fixed LT Account to $1,000,000 during the most recent 12 months
for all policies owned by you. Allocations include Net Premium payments,
transfers and loan repayments. Any excess over $1,000,000 will be transferred
to your other Investment Options relative to your most recent instructions. We
may increase the $1,000,000 limit at any time at our sole discretion. You may
contact us to find out if a higher limit is in effect.
No charges are currently imposed upon a transfer. We reserve the right to limit
the size of transfers to an amount to be at least $500; to limit the frequency
of transfers, but not less than once per quarter; to limit the remaining balance
in any account to be at least $500; and to assess a charge for transfers not to
exceed $50 per transfer.
SURRENDER AND WITHDRAWAL OF VALUES
Surrender--Upon Written Request while the 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.
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.
Surrender Charges--A Surrender Charge will be deducted from the Accumulated
Value upon surrender of the policy. The Surrender Charge is needed to help pay
for costs such as underwriting, policy issue and sales and distribution costs.
The initial Surrender Charge is equal to the amount shown on the policy
specification pages. This will remain level for the first policy month and then
will decrease by 0.8403% per month to zero at the 120th month.
If there have been increases in the Face Amount, each increase will have a
corresponding Surrender Charge related to the amount of the increase. These
charges will be specified in the supplemental schedule of benefits at the time
of the increase. If there have been decreases in the Face Amount, including
decreases in Face Amount due to withdrawals, the Surrender Charges as provided
in the preceding paragraph will be unchanged.
Withdrawals--Upon Written Request on or after the first policy anniversary while
the Insured is living, you may withdraw a portion of the Net Cash Surrender
Value of this policy. We will deduct a withdrawal fee of $25 from the
Accumulated Value for each withdrawal. The withdrawal fee will be deducted from
the Investment Options in the same proportion as the withdrawal.
Withdrawals will be subject to the following conditions: The amount of each
withdrawal must be at least $200 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 Policy Debt divided by 90%.
Page 14
<PAGE>
The amount of each withdrawal will be allocated proportionately to the
Accumulated Value in the Investment Options unless you request otherwise. If
the Insured 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 the
withdrawal into account. Unless you request otherwise, no withdrawal will be
processed if the withdrawal would cause the policy to be treated as a MEC.
A withdrawal will affect death benefit, depending on the Death Benefit Option
you have chosen: If your policy's death benefit is greater than the Guideline
Minimum Death Benefit, then the withdrawal will reduce the death benefit by the
amount of the withdrawal. However, if your policy's death benefit is equal to
the Guideline Minimum Death Benefit, the withdrawal may cause the death benefit
to decrease by an amount greater than the amount of the withdrawal. For Death
Benefit Option C, if the sum of the withdrawals and other distributions from the
policy is greater than the premiums, the death benefit will be less than the
Face Amount.
Withdrawals may also affect the Face Amount. A withdrawal will reduce the Face
Amount, but only for policies having Death Benefit Option A. In such case, a
withdrawal in excess of the difference between the Guideline Minimum Death
Benefit and the Face Amount will reduce the Face Amount by the amount of the
excess. However, for the first withdrawal from a Death Benefit Option A policy
in each of the first 15 policy years, the Face Amount will be reduced only to
the extent that the withdrawal exceeds 10% of the premiums paid.
TIMING OF PAYMENTS AND TRANSFERS
Variable Accounts--We will pay death benefit proceeds, Net Cash Surrender Value
on surrender, withdrawals, and loans based on allocations made to the Variable
Accounts, and will effect a transfer between Variable Accounts or from a
Variable Account to a Fixed Option within seven days after we receive all the
information needed to process the payment.
However, we may postpone the calculation, payment or transfer of any amounts
that are based on the investment performance of the Variable Accounts, if:
. the New York Stock Exchange is closed on other than normal 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 it is
not reasonably practicable to determine the value of the Account assets or
to dispose of Account securities; or
. The SEC by order permits postponement for the protection of securities
owners.
Fixed Options--We may defer payment of any Net Cash Surrender Value, withdrawals
or loan amounts or defer transfers from either Fixed Option for up to six months
after we receive your request. We will allow interest, at a rate of at least 3%
annually, on any Net Cash Surrender Value or withdrawal benefit derived from a
Fixed Option if we defer payment for 30 days or more.
INCOME BENEFITS
Income Benefits--Surrender or withdrawal benefits may be used to buy a lifetime
monthly income as long as the monthly income is at least $100. Death benefits
may be used to buy a monthly income for the lifetime of the beneficiary. The
monthly income 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.
Page 15
<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
$1,000 of benefit amount will always be at least as large as that shown below.

2000 table with interest at 3.00%. This benefit is not available if the income
would be less than $100 a month. We may require evidence of survival for
incomes that last more than ten years.
Other Income Options--Surrender, withdrawal or death benefits may be used under
any other payment plans that we make available at that time.
POLICY LOANS
Policy Loans--You may obtain loans by Written Request after the Free Look
Period, on the sole security of the Loan Account of this policy.
Loan Amount Available--The amount available for a loan is equal to 90% of
Accumulated Value less any Policy Debt and also less any Surrender Charges that
would be imposed if the policy were surrendered on the date the loan is taken
or, if greater, the Accumulated Value less Policy Debt less 12 times the most
recent monthly deduction. The amount of a loan must be at least $200.
Loan Interest--Interest will accrue daily and is payable in arrears at the
annual rate of 3.25%. Interest not paid when due will be added to the loan
principal and bear interest at the same rate of interest.
Loan Account--When a loan is taken, an amount equal to the loan is transferred
out of the 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 Variable Accounts and the Fixed Options on a pro rata basis, up to the
amount available. We will credit interest to the Loan Account as described in
the Accumulated Value section.
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 Investment
Options 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 Investment Options on a proportionate basis to the Loan Account.
Loan 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 Investment
Options according to your most recent instructions. We reserve the right to
first transfer repayments from the Loan Account to each Fixed Option up to the
amount that was originally borrowed. Any excess over such amount will be
transferred to the Variable Accounts relative to your most recent instructions.
Any payment we receive from you while you have a loan will be first considered a
loan repayment, unless you tell us in writing it is a premium payment.
Page 16
<PAGE>
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 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.
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 Variable Account to
another Variable Account or to our general account. All obligations arising
under the policy are general corporate obligations of ours. 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 in the Policy Specifications. 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;
. 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 of ours or our affiliate;
. transfer the assets of any Variable Account to other separate accounts or
subaccounts of ours or our affiliate;
. 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;
. change the allocations permitted under the policy;
. terminate and liquidate any Variable Account; and
. make any other change needed to comply with law.
If any of these changes result in a material change in the underlying investment
of a Variable Account of our Separate Account, we will notify you of such
change.
Unless required by law or regulation, an investment policy may not be changed
without our consent. We will not change the investment policy of the Separate
Account without the approval of the Insurance Commissioner in the state of
California and without following filing and other procedures established by
insurance regulators of the state of issue.
Page 17
<PAGE>
SUBSTITUTION OF INSURED
Benefit--Subject to our approval, you may request a substitution of the Insured
under this policy for a new Insured after the first policy year. We will
require the following before we substitute the Insured:
. The new Insured must submit evidence of insurability satisfactory to us.
. You must submit a written application for the substitution.
We may adjust the Face Amount, Accumulated Value, Surrender Charge, and any
policy fees and charges to reflect the new Insured. A revised schedule of
benefits will be sent to you outlining the benefits for the new Insured. Riders
on the new Insured will be added only with our consent and subject to our
requirements for those riders.
If approved, the substitution will be effective on the next Monthly Payment Date
on or next following our approval.
GENERAL PROVISIONS
Entire Contract--This policy is a contract between you and us. This policy, the
attached copy of the initial application, any applications for reinstatement,
all subsequent applications to change the policy, any endorsements, benefits, or
riders, and all additional policy information sections added to this policy are
the entire contract. Only an authorized officer is permitted to change this
contract or extend the time for paying premiums. Any such change must be in
writing.
All statements in the application shall, in the absence of fraud, be deemed
representations and not warranties. We will not use any statement to contest
this policy or defend a claim on grounds of misrepresentation unless the
statement is in an application.
Incontestability--Except for failure to pay premiums, this policy cannot be
contested after the expiration of the following time periods:
. The initial Face Amount cannot be contested after the policy has been in
force during the Insured's lifetime for two years from the Policy Date; and
. An increase in the Face Amount cannot be contested after the increased
amount has been in force during the Insured's lifetime for two years from
its effective date.
If this policy has been reinstated, it cannot be contested after it has been in
force during the Insured's lifetime for two years from the date of
reinstatement. Except for failure to pay premiums, in no event will we contest
this policy after reinstatement unless there is a material misrepresentation in
the reinstatement application.
Non-Participating--This policy will not share in any of our surplus earnings.
Juvenile Insured--If an Insured's Age on the Policy Date is less than 20, the
Insured may apply for Nonsmoker risk status on attaining Age 20. This option
must be requested in writing and accompanied by satisfactory evidence of
nonsmoking.
Suicide Exclusion--If the 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 Policy Debt and
withdrawals.
Page 18
<PAGE>
If the Insured dies by suicide, while sane or insane, within two years of the
effective date of any increase in the Face Amount, no benefit will be paid with
respect to such increase. Instead, we will refund the Cost of Insurance Charges
made with respect to that increase.
Misstatement--If the Insured's Age is misstated in the application or if the
Insured's Risk Classification is misstated, the amount of the death benefit
shall be the greater of that which would be purchased by the most recent Cost of
Insurance Charge at the correct Age and Risk Classification, or the Guideline
Minimum Death Benefit for the correct Age and Risk Classification.
If the Insured's Age or Risk Classification is misstated, the Accumulated Value
will be modified by recalculating all prior Cost of Insurance charges and other
monthly deductions based on the correct Age and Risk Classification.
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;
. any Surrender Charges;
. any existing Policy Debt;
. transactions that occurred during the policy quarter;
. changes in the Guideline Premiums, if applicable; and
. any information required by law.
In addition to the above reports, an annual report will also be mailed to you.
The report will contain financial statements for the Separate Account and 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. We
will also send 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 per
request for this service. Illustrated benefits that are not guaranteed, such as
benefits based on the current cost factor assumptions, will vary depending upon
a number of factors, including but not limited to, changes in future investment
performance.
Basis of Values--A detailed statement showing how values are determined has been
filed with the state insurance department. All values are at least equal to the
minimums required by the law of the state in which this policy is delivered,
based on the Commissioner's 1980 Standard Ordinary Mortality Table and interest
at the rate of 3%, except for unisex issues which are based on the 1980 CSO
Table B and interest at the rate of 3%.
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 Code or any state.
We will provide you with a copy of any such change, and file such a change with
the insurance supervisory official of the state in which this policy is
delivered. You have the right to refuse any such change.

ANNUAL RENEWABLE TERM RIDER
INSURED - As used in this rider, "Insured" means the individual covered under
the policy.
ANNUAL RENEWABLE TERM (ART) FACE AMOUNT - The ART Face Amount provided by this
rider is shown in the Policy Specifications.
DEATH BENEFIT OPTION - The death benefit of the policy to which this rider is
attached is modified to include the ART Face Amount under this rider. It is now
as follows: The death benefit equals the greater of the Guideline Minimum Death
Benefit or the death benefit as calculated under one of the options below:
. Option A: the Face Amount of the policy plus the ART Face Amount;
. Option B: the Face Amount of the policy plus the ART Face Amount plus the
Accumulated Value on the date of death;
. Option C: the Face Amount of the policy plus the ART Face Amount plus
premiums paid and less withdrawals taken.
CHANGING THE ART FACE AMOUNT - Subject to our approval, you may change the ART
Face Amount by Written Request during the lifetime of the Insured. Such request
may be made not more than once per policy year.
ART FACE AMOUNT INCREASES - You must provide evidence of insurability
satisfactory to us before any request for an increase in ART Face Amount becomes
effective. An Administrative Charge not to exceed $100 will be deducted from
the policy's Accumulated Value on the effective date of any such increase in
ART Face Amount. The effective date of the increase will be the first Monthly
Payment Date on or following the date all applicable conditions are met.
ART FACE AMOUNT DECREASES - Any decrease in ART Face Amount that you request for
any policy year will first be applied against the most recent increase, if any,
and then against successively earlier increases, if any, and finally against the
original ART Face Amount. The effective date of the decrease will be the first
Monthly Payment Date on or following the date we receive your Written Request.
COST OF INSURANCE CHARGE - Beginning on the Policy Date and for every month
thereafter, there will be a charge equal to the Cost of Insurance Charge
applicable to the following:
. the initial ART Face Amount; plus
. each increase in the ART Face Amount.
The monthly Cost of Insurance Charge for the death benefit payable under this
rider is (1) multiplied by (2) where:
(1) is the applicable monthly Cost of Insurance Rate for this rider; and
(2) is the Net Amount at Risk attributed to the ART Face Amount.
The Net Amount at Risk for the policy is calculated by taking the total death
benefit of the policy divided by 1.002466 and subtracting the Accumulated Value
at the beginning of the policy month before the Monthly Deduction is due.
The Net Amount at Risk is allocated between the policy and the Accounting
Benefit Rider in proportion to the Face Amounts of each as of the Monthly
Payment Date.
If there have been increases in the ART Face Amount, the Net Amount at Risk will
be proportionately allocated to each increase according to the Face Amount of
each increase in force as of the Monthly Payment Date.
<PAGE>
COST OF INSURANCE RATES - The Cost of Insurance Rates are based on a number of
factors, including the Insured's Age, gender, risk classification, and the
policy duration. 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 in the Policy Specifications. Any changes in the Cost of
Insurance Rates will apply uniformly to all members of the same class.
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 shown in the Policy Specifications.
M&E RISK FACE AMOUNT CHARGE - This M&E Risk Face Amount Charge for this rider
is to compensate us for the risk we assume that mortality, expenses and other
costs associated with the rider will be greater than estimated.
The amount of this charge will not exceed the monthly charges shown in the
Policy Specifications. We reserve the right to charge less than such amount.
The amount of this charge is based on the amount of insurance issued under this
rider and any subsequent increases as shown in the Policy Specifications.
WITHDRAWALS - The Withdrawals provision of the policy, to which this rider is
attached, is modified to include this rider. For the purpose of the Withdrawals
provision, Accounting Benefit Rider is treated the same as any other increase in
the policy Face Amount. For further details, please see the Withdrawals
provision of your contract.
CONVERSION - This rider is not convertible.
EFFECTIVE DATE - This rider is effective on the Policy Date unless otherwise
notified.
TERMINATION This rider will terminate on the earliest of the following:

As applied to this rider, the periods stated in this policy's Incontestability
and Suicide provisions will start with this rider's effective date. This will

this policy that do not conflict with this rider's terms apply to this rider.

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.

BENEFIT AMOUNT - The Benefit Amount is shown on the Policy Specifications pages
for each Covered Person. Any reduction in Benefit Amount for any year may
require a reduction in Benefit Amounts for future years. Any decrease in the

in the Benefit Amounts under this rider. We will pay the Benefit Amount for
this rider when we receive proof that the death of a Covered Person occurred
while this rider was in force.
COST OF INSURANCE CHARGES - The Cost of Insurance Charges for this rider are
calculated separately for each Covered Person. The monthly Mortality Charge for
any Covered Person is equal to the product of the applicable monthly cost of
insurance rate times the Benefit Amount for such Covered Person. The cost of
insurance rates are based on a number of factors, including the Covered Person's
attained Age and risk class and the duration of this rider. 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.

Covered Person on each monthly payment date for which there is an applicable
Guaranteed Maximum Monthly Cost of Insurance Rate shown on the Policy

new policy on any Covered Person's life at any time before such Covered Person
becomes Age 65. This rider may be converted during the first two years it is in
force regardless of the Covered Person's Age. The Covered Person's Benefit
Amount for this rider will be cancelled on the new policy's issue date. The
amount of insurance under the new policy will be the same as the Covered
Person's Benefit Amount under this rider. A lower amount may be selected as
long as it is not less than our regular minimum limit at the time of conversion.
The new policy may be on the whole life or any higher premium plan we regularly
issue at the time of conversion. It will be issued in the same underwriting
class and contain the same restrictions, if any, as this rider. It will be
issued at our published rates which apply at the Covered Person's Age on the new
policy's issue date. Riders will not be included in the new policy without our
consent at the time. If we are waiving charges for this rider at the Covered
Person's Age 65, and if this rider is converted to a whole life policy in the
manner described above, we will waive premiums under the new policy while total
disability continues without interruption.
EFFECTIVE DATE - This rider is effective on the policy date unless otherwise
stated. This rider will terminate:
. on your written request;
. on lapse or termination of this policy; or
. when the last person covered by this rider becomes Age 100.
GENERAL CONDITIONS - This rider is part of the policy to which it is attached.
As applied to this rider, the periods stated in this policy's Incontestability
and Suicide provisions will start with this rider's effective date. All terms

Waiver of Charges Rider
<PAGE>
Waiver of Charges Rider
Benefit - Subject to this rider's terms, we will waive any monthly Cost of
Insurance Charges, any monthly Administrative Charges and any monthly cost of
any rider benefits for this policy which falls due while the insured is totally
disabled.
We will not waive any charges which fall due more than one year before we
receive proof of total disability. We will not waive any charges which fall due
before the insured's age 5. If total disability begins during the grace period
for an unpaid premium, that premium must be paid in order to establish a valid
claim under this rider.
Total Disability - Total disability means a condition which:
- - results from bodily injury accidentally sustained or disease which first
manifests itself while this rider is in effect;
- - occurs before the insured's age 60;
- - lasts continuously for at least 3 months; and, either
- - stops the insured from performing the substantial and material duties of the
job; or
- - includes the insured's total and irrecoverable loss of sight of both eyes or
use of two hands, two feet or one hand and one foot.
During the first 24 months of disability, "the job" means the insured's
occupation for compensation or profit at the time total disability began. After
that, "the job" means any one for which the insured is or becomes reasonably
fitted by education, training or experience. If the insured is a student when
disability begins, "the job" means attending school.
Notice of Disability Claim - We must receive notice of the insured's total
disability: at our home office; on forms we provide; during the insured's
lifetime; and while the insured is disabled.
If it is not reasonably possible for you to give us notice within the time
limits above, you must give us notice within one year from the time total
disability ends.
Proof of Disability - Before we pay a benefit, we must receive proof of total
disability. From time to time after the insured is disabled, we may require
proof of continuing disability. This proof may include a medical exam by a
physician we select and pay. After two years of disability, we will not require
proof of total disability more often than once a year. We will not require
proof after the insured's age 70.
War Service Not Covered - Disability occurring in a period during which the
insured is in the armed forces of any country at war (declared or not) is not
covered under this rider. No insurance charges for this rider will be made for
such a period; if any are made we will reverse them.
Insurance Charges - The monthly Insurance Charge for this rider is based on the
total net amount at risk under the policy including any Added Protection Benefit
(APB) and any Annual Renewable Convertible Term (ART) rider.
<PAGE>
The monthly Insurance Charge for the base policy and any Added Protection
Benefit is (1) multiplied by the result of (2) minus (3) where:
- -(1) is the applicable monthly Waiver of Charges Rate;
- -(2) is the death benefit at the beginning of the policy month divided by
1.004074; and
- -(3) is the Accumulated Value at the beginning of the policy month before the
Monthly Deduction due.
The monthly Insurance Charge for any ART rider is equal to the applicable
monthly Waiver of Charges Rate multiplied by the Benefit Amount of any such ART
rider.
The Waiver of Charges Rates are shown on the Policy Specifications pages.
Effective Date - This rider is effective on the policy date unless otherwise
stated. This rider will terminate (without affecting any claim for disability
occurring before such termination):
- - on your written request; or
- - on lapse or termination of this policy; or
- - when the insured becomes age 60.
Incontestability - This rider will be incontestable after it has been in force
for two years, excluding any period the insured is disabled.

Disability Benefit Rider
<PAGE>
Disability Benefit Rider
Disability Benefits - On each monthly payment date that the insured qualifies,
we will add the Disability Benefit Amount shown in the Policy Specifications
pages to the Accumulated Value. To qualify, the insured must be totally
disabled, as defined below, and under age 65. We will make the addition on the
monthly payment date or, if later, at the time we receive proof of disability.
We will not make the addition for a monthly payment date unless we receive proof
of disability within one year following that date.
If total disability begins during the grace period for an unpaid premium, that
premium must be paid in order to establish a valid claim under this rider.
Total Disability - Total disability means a condition which:
- - results from bodily injury accidentally sustained or disease which first
manifests itself while this rider is in effect and before the insured is age 60;
- - lasts continuously for at least 3 months; and, either
- - stops the insured from performing the substantial and material duties of the
job; or
- - results in the insured's total loss of sight of both eyes or use of two hands,
two feet or one hand and one foot.
During the first 24 months of disability, "the job" means the insured's
occupation at the time total disability began. After than, "the job" means any
one for which the insured is or becomes reasonably fitted by education, training
or experience.
Proof of Disability - Before we pay a benefit, we must receive proof of the
insured's total disability: at our home office; on forms we provide; during the
insured's lifetime; and while the insured is disabled.
If it is not reasonably possible for you to give us proof within the time limits
above, you must give us proof within one year from the time total disability
ends.
From time to time after the insured is disabled, we may require proof of
continuing disability. This proof may include a medical exam by a physician we
select and pay. We will not require proof of total disability more often than
once a year.
War Service Not Covered - Disability occurring in a period during which the
insured is in the armed forces of any country at war (declared or not) is not
covered under this rider. No insurance charges for this rider will be made for
such a period; if any are made we will reverse them.
Insurance Charges - Insurance Charges for this rider are shown in the Policy
Specifications pages.
Effective Date - This rider is effective on the policy date unless otherwise
stated hereon.
Termination - This rider will terminate:
<PAGE>
- - on your written request:
- - on termination of this contract: or
- - when the insured becomes age 60.
Incontestability - This rider will be incontestable after it has been in force
for two years, excluding any period the insured is disabled. All statements in
the application are representations and not warranties. Statements not in the
application will not be used to void this contract or to defend a claim.
General Conditions - This rider is part of the contract to which it is attached.
All terms of the contract which do not conflict with this rider's terms apply to
this rider.

Fund Participation Agreement
<PAGE>
FUND PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT
This AGREEMENT is made this 6th day of November, 1992, by and between Pacific
Mutual Life Insurance Company (the "Company"), a life insurance company
domiciled in California, on its behalf and on behalf of the segregated asset
accounts of the Company listed on Exhibit A to this Agreement (the "Separate
Accounts"); Pacific Select Fund (the "Fund"), a Massachusetts business trust;
and Pacific Equities Network ("Distributor"), a California corporation.
WITNESSETH
WHEREAS, the Fund is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission
("SEC") as an open-end management investment company under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended ("1940 Act") and the Fund is authorized to issue
separate classes of shares of beneficial interests ("shares"), each representing
an interest in a separate portfolio of assets known as a "series" and each
series has its own investment objective, policies, and limitations; and
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
policies and variable annuity contracts ("Variable Contracts") and to serve as
an investment medium for Variable Contracts offered by insurance companies that
have entered into participation agreements substantially similar to this
agreement ("Participating Insurance Companies"), and the Fund is currently
comprised of nine separate series, and other series may be established in the
future; and
WHEREAS, the Fund has obtained an order from the SEC granting Participating
Insurance Companies, separate accounts funding Variable Contracts of
Participating Insurance Companies, and the Fund exemptions from the provisions
of sections 9(a), 13(a), 15(a), and 15(b) of the 1940 Act and paragraph (b)(15)
of Rule 6e-3(T) under the 1940 Act, to the extent necessary to permit such
persons to rely on the exemptive relief provided under paragraph (b)(15) of Rule
6e-3(T), even though shares of the Fund may be offered to and held by separate
accounts funding variable annuity contracts or scheduled or flexible premium
variable life insurance contracts of both affiliated and unaffiliated life
insurance companies (the "Shared Funding Exemptive Order"); and
WHEREAS, the Distributor is registered as a broker-dealer with the SEC under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("1934 Act"), and is a member in
good standing of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD");
and
WHEREAS, to the extent permitted by applicable insurance laws and regulations,
the Company wishes to purchase shares of one or more of the Fund's series on
behalf of its Separate Accounts to serve as an investment medium for Variable
Contracts funded by the Separate Accounts, and the Distributor is authorized to
sell shares of the Fund's series;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual promises and
covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE I. Sale of Fund Shares
1
<PAGE>
1.1. The Distributor agrees to sell to the Company those shares of the series
offered and made available by the Fund and identified on Exhibit B ("Series")
that the Company orders on behalf of its Separate Accounts, and agrees to
execute such orders on each day on which the Fund calculates its net asset value
pursuant to rules of the SEC ("business day") at the net asset value next
computed after receipt and acceptance by the Fund or its agent of the order for
the shares of the Fund.
1.2. The Fund agrees to make available on each business day shares of the
Series for purchase at the applicable net asset value per share by the Company
on behalf of its Separate Accounts' provided, however, that the Board of
Trustees of the Fund may refuse to sell shares of any Series to any person, or
suspend or terminate the offering of shares of any Series, if such action is
required by law or by regulatory authorities having jurisdiction or is, in the
sole discretion of the Trustees, acting in good faith and in light of the
Trustees' fiduciary duties under applicable law, necessary in the best interests
of the shareholders of any Series.
1.3. The Fund and the Distributor agree that shares of the Series of the Fund
will be sold only to Participating Insurance Companies, their separate accounts,
and other persons consistent with each Series being adequately diversified
pursuant to Section 817(h) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
("Code") and the regulations thereunder. No shares of any Series will be sold
directly to the general public.
1.4. The Fund and the Distributor will not sell shares of the Series to any
insurance company or separate account unless an agreement containing provisions
substantially the same as this Agreement is in effect to govern such sales.
1.5. Upon receipt of a request for redemption in proper form from the Company,
the Fund agrees to redeem any full or fractional shares of the Series held by
the Company, ordinarily executing such requests on each business day at the net
asset value next computed after receipt and acceptance by the Fund or its agent
of the request for redemption, except that the Fund reserves the right to
suspend the right of redemption, consistent with Section 22(e) of the 1940 Act
and any rules thereunder. Such redemption shall be paid consistent with
applicable rules of the SEC and procedures and policies of the Fund as described
in the current prospectus.
1.6. The Company agrees to purchase and redeem the shares of each Series in
accordance with the provisions of the current prospectus for the Fund.
1.7. The Company shall pay for shares of the Series on the same day that it
places an order to purchase shares of the Series. Payment shall be in federal
funds transmitted by wire.
1.8. Issuance and transfer of shares of the Series will be by book entry only
unless otherwise agreed by the Fund. Stock certificates will not be issued to
the Company or the Separate Accounts unless otherwise agreed by the Fund.
Shares ordered from the Fund will be recorded in an appropriate title for the
Separate Accounts or the appropriate subaccounts of the Separate Accounts.
1.9. The Fund shall promptly furnish notice (by wire or telephone, followed by
written confirmation) to the Company of any income dividends or capital gain
distributions payable on the
2
<PAGE>
shares of the Series. The Company hereby elects to reinvest in the Series all
such dividends and distributions as are payable on a Series' shares and to
receive such dividends and distributions in additional shares of that Series.
The Company reserves the right to revoke this election in writing and to receive
all such dividends and distributions in cash. The Fund shall notify the Company
of the number of shares so issued as payment of such dividends and
distributions.
1.10. The Fund shall instruct its recordkeeping agent to advise the Company on
each business day of the net asset value per share for each Series as soon as

has been registered as a unit investment trust in accordance with the provisions

whichever is appropriate, under applicable provisions of the Code.
2.6. The Company represents and warrants that any of its Separate Accounts that

ARTICLE III. General Duties
3.1. The Fund shall take all such actions as are necessary to permit the sale
of the shares of each Series to the Separate Accounts, including maintaining its
registration as an investment company under the 1940 Act, and registering the
shares of the Series sold to the Separate Accounts under the 1933 Act for so
long as required by applicable law. The Fund shall amend its Registration
Statement filed with the SEC under the 1933 Act and the 1940 Act from time to

Series. The Fund shall register and qualify the shares for sale in accordance
with the laws of the various states to the extent deemed necessary by the Fund
or the Distributor.
3.2. The Fund shall make every effort to maintain qualification of each Series
as a Regulated Investment Company under Subchapter M of the Code (or any
successor or similar provision) and shall notify the Company immediately upon
having a reasonable basis for believing that a Series has ceased to so qualify
or that it might not so qualify in the future.
3.3. The Fund shall make every effort to enable each Series to comply with the
diversification provisions of Section 817(h) of the Code and the regulations
issued thereunder relating to the diversification requirements for variable life

Variable Contracts issued
4
<PAGE>
by the Company as annuity contracts or life insurance policies, whichever is
appropriate, under applicable provisions of the Code, and shall notify the Fund
and the Distributor immediately upon having a reasonable basis for believing
that such Variable Contracts have ceased to be so treated or that they might not
be so treated in the future.
3.7. The Company shall offer and sell the Variable Contracts issued by the
Company in accordance with applicable provisions of the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act,
the 1940 Act, the NASD Rules of Fair Practice, and state law respecting the

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.

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

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.

"Indemnified Parties" for purposes of this Section 7.1) against any and all
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
an offering memorandum) for the Variable Contracts issued by the Company or
sales literature for such Variable Contracts (or any amendment or supplement to
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
Contracts or Fund shares; or
(ii) arise out of or as a result of any statement or representation (other than
statements or representations contained in the registration statement,
prospectus or sales literature of the Fund not supplied by the Company or
persons under its control) or wrongful conduct of the Company or any of its
affiliates, employees or agents with respect to the sale or distribution of the
Variable Contracts issued by the Company or the Fund shares; or
(iii) arise out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in a registration statement, prospectus, or sales
literature of the Fund or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or the
omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading if

7.1(b). The Company shall not be liable under this indemnification provision
with respect to any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or litigation expenses

duties or by reason of his or her reckless disregard of obligations or duties
under this Agreement or to the Fund.

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
claim shall have been served upon such Indemnified Party (or after such Party
shall have received notice of such service on any designated agent), but failure
to notify the Company of any such claim shall not relieve the Company from any
liability which it may have to the Indemnified Party against whom such action is
brought otherwise than on account of this indemnification provision. In case
any such action is brought against the Indemnified Parties, the Company shall be
entitled to participate, at its own expense, in the defense of such action. The

the issuance or sale of the Fund shares or the Variable Contracts issued by the
Company or the operation of the Fund.

(collectively, the "Indemnified Parties" for purposes of this Section 7.2)
against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities (including amounts paid
in settlement with the written consent of the Distributor) or litigation
expenses (including legal and other expenses) to which the Indemnified Parties
may become subject under any statute, 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 fact contained in the registration statement or
prospectus or sales literature of the Fund (or any amendment or supplement to
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 Distributor or the Fund
or the designee of either by or on behalf of the Company for use in the
registration statement or prospectus for the Fund or in sales literature (or any

issued by the Company or Fund shares; or

literature covering the Variable Contracts issued by the Company, or any
amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or the omission or alleged omission to
state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statement or statements therein not misleading, if such statement or
omission was made in reliance upon information furnished to the Company by or on
behalf of the Fund;
except to the extent provided in Sections 7.2(b) and 7.2(c) hereof.
11
<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
willful misfeasance, bad faith, or gross negligence in the performance of his or
her duties or by reason of his or her reckless disregard of obligations and
duties under this Agreement or to the Company or the Separate Accounts.
7.2(c). The Distributor shall not be liable under this indemnification
provision with respect to any claim made against the Indemnified Party unless

time after the summons or other first legal process giving information of the
nature of the claim shall have been served upon such Indemnified Party (or after
such Party shall have received notice of such service on any designated agent),
but failure to notify the Distributor of any such claim shall not relieve the
Distributor from any liability which it may have to the Indemnified Party
against whom such action is brought otherwise than on account of this
Indemnification Provision. In case any such action is brought against the
Indemnified Parties, the Distributor will be entitled to participate, at its own
expense, in the defense thereof. The Distributor also shall be entitled to
assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to the party named in the
action. After notice from the Distributor to such party of the Distributor's
election to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnified Party shall bear the

----------------------------------
(a) The Fund hereby appoints the Company as an agent of
the Fund for the limited purpose of receiving purchase and redemption
requests for shares of the Fund based on allocations of amounts to the
Account or subaccounts thereof under the Contracts and other transactions
arising out of the Contracts. Receipt of any such request (or relevant
transactional information therefor) on any Business Day by the Company as
such limited agent of the Fund prior to the Fund's close of business as
defined from time to time in the Fund Prospectus (which as of the date of
execution of this Agreement is 4 p.m. Eastern Time) shall constitute
receipt by the Fund on that same Business Day,
-3-
<PAGE>
provided that the Fund receives notice of such request by 10:00 a.m.
Eastern Time on the next following Business Day.
(b) The Company shall pay for shares of each Series on the
same day that it notifies the Fund of a purchase request for such shares.
Payment for Series shares shall be made in federal funds transmitted to the
Fund by wire to be received by the Fund by 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time on the
day the Fund is notified of the purchase request for Series shares (unless
the Fund determines and so advises the Company that sufficient proceeds are
available from redemption of shares of other Series effected pursuant to
redemption requests tendered by the Company on behalf of the Account). If
federal funds are not received on time, such funds will be invested, and
Series shares purchased thereby will be issued, as soon as practicable.
(c) Payment for Series shares redeemed by the Account or
the Company shall be made in federal funds transmitted by wire to the
Company or any other designated person on the next Business Day after the
Fund is properly notified of the redemption order of Series shares (unless
redemption proceeds are to be applied to the purchase of Fund shares of
other Series in accordance with Section 2.3(b) of this Agreement), except
that the Fund reserves the right to delay payment of redemption proceeds to
the extent permitted under Section 22(e) of the 1940 Act. The Fund shall
not bear any responsibility whatsoever for the proper disbursement or
crediting of redemption proceeds; the Company alone shall be responsible
for such action.
(d) Any purchase or redemption requests for Fund shares
that do not result directly from transactions relating to the Contracts or
the Account shall be effected at the net asset value per share next
determined after the Fund's receipt of such request, provided that, in the
case of a purchase request, payment for Fund shares so requested is
received by the Fund in federal funds prior to close of business for
determination of such value, as defined from time to time in the Fund
Prospectus.
2.4. The Fund shall use its best efforts to calculate and make the
net asset value per share for each Series available to the Company by 6:00 p.m.
Eastern Time each Business Day, and in any event, as soon as reasonably
practicable after the net asset value per share for such Series is calculated,
and shall calculate such net asset value in accordance with the Fund Prospectus.
Neither the Fund, any Series, the Adviser, nor any of their affiliates shall be
liable for any information provided to the Company pursuant to this Agreement to
the extent such information is based on incorrect information supplied by the
Company or any other Participating Insurance Company or Qualified Person (as
defined in Section 2.8 of this Agreement) to the Fund or the Adviser.
2.5. The Fund shall furnish notice to the Company (by fax, or
telephone followed by written confirmation) as soon as reasonably practicable,
and no later than the same day, of any income dividends or capital gain
distributions payable on any Series shares. The Company, on
-4-
<PAGE>
its behalf and on behalf of the Account, hereby elects to receive all such
dividends and distributions as are payable on any Series shares in the form of
additional shares of that Series. The Company reserves the right, on its behalf
and on behalf of the Account, to revoke this election and to receive all such
dividends and distributions in cash. The Fund shall notify the Company promptly
of the number of Series shares so issued as payment of such dividends and
distributions.
2.6. Issuance and transfer of Fund shares shall be by book entry
only. Stock certificates will not be issued to the Company or the Account.
Purchase and redemption orders for Fund shares shall be recorded in an
appropriate ledger for the Account or the appropriate subaccount of the Account.
2.7. (a) The Company may withdraw the Account's investment
in the Fund or a Series of the Fund only: (i) as necessary to facilitate
Contract Owner requests; (ii) upon a determination by a majority of the
Fund Board, or a majority of disinterested Fund Board members, that an
irreconcilable material conflict exists among (x) the interests of all
Product Owners or (y) the interests of the Participating Insurance
Companies investing in the Fund; (iii) upon requisite vote of the Contract
Owners having an interest in the affected Series; (iv) as required by state
and/or federal laws or regulations or judicial or other legal precedent of
general implication; (v) upon sixty (60) days advance written notice; (vi)
from a Series, upon a change in the Portfolio Manager for that Series; or
(vii) as permitted by an order of the SEC pursuant to Section 26(b) of the
1940 Act.
(b) The Company shall not, without the prior written consent
of the Adviser (unless otherwise required by applicable law), solicit,
induce or encourage Contract Owners to change or modify the Fund or change
the Fund's investment adviser.
2.8. The Fund shall sell Fund shares only to Participating
Insurance Companies and their separate accounts and to persons or plans
("Qualified Persons") that qualify to purchase and hold shares of the Fund under
Section 817(h) of the Code. The Fund shall not sell Fund shares to any insurance
company, separate account or Qualified Person unless an agreement containing
provisions substantially similar to Articles II, V, and VII of this Agreement is
in effect to govern such sales (to the extent required in order to comply with
the "Exemptive Order" referred to in Section 7.1 below).

implements a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act to finance
distribution expenses, then payments may be made to the Company in
accordance with such plan. The Fund currently does not intend to make any
payments to finance distribution expenses pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the

promotional material prepared by the company in which the Fund is named and
which will be used by the Company
-8-
<PAGE>
shall be furnished by the Company to the Fund not less than 15 days prior to its
use. No such material shall be used if the Fund or its designee objects to such
use within fifteen days after receipt of such material, provided that it may be
used earlier than the end of such 15 day period if the Fund or its designee
consents in writing to its use. The Fund may delegate its rights and
responsibilities under this provision to the Adviser.
4.8. Any piece of advertising or sales literature or other
promotional material in which the Company or the Account is named and which will
be used by the Fund or the Adviser shall be furnished by the Fund or the
Adviser, as applicable, to the Company not less than 15 days prior to its use.
No such material shall be used if the Company or its designee objects to such

make any representations on behalf of the Company or concerning the Company, the

approved in writing by the Company for distribution to Contract Owners, or in
sales literature or other promotional material approved in accordance with
Section 4.8 of this Agreement except with the prior written consent of the
Company.
4.11. The Fund and the Company shall provide to the other upon
request at least one complete copy of all Registration Statements, Prospectuses,
Statements of Additional Information, periodic and other shareholder or Contract
Owner reports, proxy statements, solicitations of voting instructions, sales
literature and other promotional materials, applications for exemptions,
requests for no-action letters, and all amendments or supplements to any of the
above, that relate to the Fund, the Contracts or the Account, as the case may
be, promptly after the filing by or on behalf of such party of such document
with the SEC or other regulatory authorities.
4.12. Each party shall provide to the other upon request copies of
draft versions of any Registration Statements, Prospectuses, Statements of
Additional Information, periodic and other shareholder or Contract Owner
reports, proxy statements, solicitations for voting
-9-
<PAGE>

exemptions, requests for no-action letters, and all amendments or supplements to
any of the above, to the extent that the other party reasonably needs such
information for purposes of preparing a report or other filing to be filed with
or submitted to a regulatory agency. If a party requests any such information
before it has been filed, the other party will provide the requested information
if then available and in the version then available at the time of such request.
4.13. Each party hereto shall cooperate with the other party and
all appropriate governmental authorities (including without limitation the SEC,
the NASD and state insurance regulators) and shall permit each other and such

privileged information.

in any respect whatsoever. The Company reserves the right in its sole discretion
to suspend the sale of any of the Contracts, in whole or in part, or to accept
or reject any application for the sale of a Contract. The Company agrees to
notify the Fund and the Adviser promptly upon the occurrence of any event the
Company believes might necessitate a material modification or suspension.
4.15. For purposes of this Article IV, the phrase "sales literature
or other promotional material" includes, but is not limited to, any material
constituting sales literature or advertising under the NASD rules, the 1940 Act
or the 1933 Act.
ARTICLE V. Voting of Fund Shares
---------------------
5.1. With respect to any matter put to vote by the holders of Fund
shares or Series shares ("Voting Shares"), to the extent required by law
(including the Exemptive Order referred to in Section 7.1 below) the Company
shall:
(a) solicit voting instructions from Contract Owners to which
Voting Shares are attributable;
(b) vote Voting Shares of each Series attributable to Contract
Owners participating in an account in accordance with instructions or
proxies timely received from such Contract Owners;
(c) vote Voting Shares of each Series attributable to Contract
Owners participating in an account for which no instructions have been
received in the same proportion as Voting Shares of such Series from
Contract Owners participating in an account for which instructions have
been timely received; and
-10-
<PAGE>
(d) vote Voting Shares of each Series held by the Company on
behalf of the Account that are not attributable to Contract Owners in the
same proportion as Voting Shares of such Series from Contract Owners
participating in an account for which instructions have been timely
received;
(e) vote Voting Shares of each series held by the Company on
its behalf that are not attributable to Contract Owners in the same
proportions as Voting shares of such Series held by the Company's Accounts
in the aggregate.
provided, however, that if the SEC changes its interpretations of voting
privileges for variable contracts the Company may vote such shares in its own
right. The Company shall be responsible for assuring that voting privileges for
the Account are calculated in a manner consistent with the provisions set forth
above.
5.2. The Fund will comply with all provisions of the 1940 Act
requiring voting by shareholders, and in particular the Fund will either provide
for annual meetings or comply with Section 16(c) of the 1940 Act (although the
Fund is not one of the trusts described in Section 16(c) of that Act) as well as
with Sections 16(a) and, if and when applicable, 16(b). Further, the Fund will
act in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission's interpretation
of the requirements of Section 16(a) with respect to periodic elections of
trustees and with whatever rules the Commission may promulgate with respect
thereto.
ARTICLE VI. Compliance with Code
--------------------
6.1. The Fund shall comply with Section 817(h) of the Code, and all
regulations issued thereunder and shall notify the Company immediately upon
having a reasonable basis for believing that it has ceased to so qualify or that
it might not so qualify in the future.
6.2. The Fund shall maintain its qualification as a regulated
investment company (under Subchapter M of the Code or any successor or similar
provision), and shall notify the Company immediately upon having a reasonable
basis for believing that it has ceased to so qualify or that it might not so
qualify in the future.
6.3. The Company shall maintain the treatment of the Contracts as
annuity contracts or life insurance policies, whichever is appropriate, under
applicable provisions of the Code and shall notify the Fund and the Adviser
immediately upon having a reasonable basis for believing that the Contracts have
ceased to be so treated or that they might not be so treated in the future.
ARTICLE VII. Potential Conflicts
-------------------
-11-
<PAGE>
7.1. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the Fund has
obtained (or will obtain) an order of exemption from the SEC (the "Exemptive
Order," File No. 812-9674) granting relief from various provisions of the 1940
Act and the rules thereunder to the extent necessary to permit Fund shares to be
sold to and held by variable annuity and variable life insurance separate
accounts of both affiliated and unaffiliated Participating Insurance Companies
and other Qualified Persons (as defined in Section 2.8). The Fund hereby
notifies the Company that Contracts Prospectus disclosure regarding potential
risks of such mixed and shared funding may be appropriate.
7.2. The Fund Board shall monitor the existence of any material
irreconcilable conflict between the interests of Product Owners. The Fund Board
shall promptly inform the Company if it determines that a material
irreconcilable conflict exists and the implications thereof.
7.3. (a) The Company shall report any potential or existing
conflicts promptly to the Fund Board, and in particular whenever Contract
Owner voting instructions are disregarded, and recognizes that it shall be
responsible for assisting the Fund Board in carrying out its
responsibilities in connection with the Exemptive Order. The Company
agrees to carry out such responsibilities with a view only to the interests
of Contract Owners.
(b) The Company shall at least annually submit to the Fund
Board such reports, materials or data as the Fund Board may reasonably
request so that the Fund Board and the Fund may fully carry out the
obligations imposed upon them by the conditions of the Exemptive Order, and
such reports, material and data shall be submitted more frequently if
deemed appropriate by the Fund Board.
7.4. If a majority of the Fund Board, or a majority of its
directors who are not "interested persons" as defined in the 1940 Act
("Disinterested Directors"), determines that a material irreconcilable conflict
exists with regard to Contract Owner investments in the Fund, the Fund Board
shall give prompt notice to all Participating Insurance Companies. If the Fund
Board determines that the Company is responsible in full or in part for causing
or creating said conflict, the Company (and other responsible Participating
Insurance Companies) shall at no cost and expense to the Fund, and to the extent
reasonably practicable (as determined by a majority of the Disinterested
Directors), take such action as is necessary to remedy or eliminate the
irreconcilable material conflict. Such necessary action may include, but shall
not be limited to:
-12-
<PAGE>
(a) Withdrawing the assets allocable to the Account from the
Fund or any Series thereof and reinvesting such assets in a different
investment medium, or submitting the question of whether such segregation
should be implemented to a vote of all affected Contract Owners and, as
appropriate, segregating the assets of any appropriate group (i.e., annuity
Contract Owners, life insurance Contract Owners, or other Product Owners)
that votes in favor of such segregation or offering to the affected
Contract Owners the option of making such a change; and
(b) Establishing a new registered management investment
company.
7.5. If a material irreconcilable conflict arises as a result of a
decision by the Company to disregard Contract Owner voting instructions and said
decision represents a minority position or would preclude a majority vote by all
Contract Owners having an interest in the Fund, the Company may be required, at
the Fund Board's election, to withdraw the Account's investment in the Fund and
terminate this Agreement with respect to such Account; provided, however, that
such withdrawal and termination shall be limited to the extent required by the
foregoing material irreconcilable conflict as determined by a majority of the
Disinterested Directors. Any such withdrawal and termination must take place
within six (6) months after the Fund gives written notice that this provision is
being implemented, and until the end of that six month period the Adviser and
Fund shall continue to accept and implement orders by the Company for the
purchase (and redemption) of shares of the Fund (subject to Section 2.1 above).
No charge or penalty will be imposed as a result of such withdrawal.
7.6. If a material irreconcilable conflict arises because a
particular state insurance regulator's decision applicable to the Company
conflicts with the majority of other state regulators, then the Company will
withdraw the affected Account's investment in the Fund and terminate this
Agreement with respect to such Account within six months after the Board informs
the Company in writing that it has determined that such decision has created an
irreconcilable material conflict; provided, however, that such withdrawal and
termination shall be limited to the extent required by the foregoing material
irreconcilable conflict as determined by a majority of the Disinterested
Directors. Until the end of the foregoing six month period, the Adviser and Fund
shall continue to accept and implement orders by the Company for the purchase
(and redemption) of shares of the Fund (subject to Section 2.1 above).
7.7. For purposes of this Article, a majority of the Disinterested
Directors shall determine whether or not any proposed action adequately remedies
any irreconcilable material conflict, but in no event shall the Fund be required
to bear the expense of establishing a new funding medium for any Contract. The
Company shall not be required by this Article to establish a new funding medium
for any Contract if an offer to do so has been declined by vote of a majority of
the Contract Owners materially adversely affected by the irreconcilable material
conflict. In the event that the Board determines that any proposed action does
not adequately remedy any irreconcilable material conflict, then the Company
will withdraw the Account's investment in the Fund and terminate this Agreement
within six (6) months after the Board
-13-
<PAGE>
informs the Company in writing of the foregoing determination, provided,
however, that such withdrawal and termination shall be limited to the extent
required by any such material irreconcilable conflict as determined by a
majority of the Disinterested Directors.
7.8. If and to the extent that Rule 6e-2 and Rule 6e-3(T) are
amended, or Rule 6e-3 is adopted, to provide exemptive relief from any
provisions of the 1940 Act or the rules promulgated thereunder with respect to
mixed and shared funding on terms and conditions materially different from those
contained in the Exemptive Order, then (a) the Fund and/or the Company, as
appropriate, shall take such steps as may be necessary to comply with Rules 6e-2
and 6e-3(T), as amended, or Rule 6e-3, as adopted, as applicable, to the extent
such rules are applicable, and (b) Sections 7.2 through 7.7 of this Agreement
shall continue in effect only to the extent that terms and conditions
substantially identical to such Sections are contained in such Rule(s) as so
amended or adopted.
ARTICLE VIII. Indemnification
---------------
8.1. Indemnification by the Company. The Company shall indemnify
------------------------------
and hold harmless the Fund, the Adviser and each person who controls the Fund or
the Adviser within the meaning of such terms under the 1933 Act (but not any
Participating Insurance Companies or Qualified Plans) and any officer, trustee,
director, employee or agent of the foregoing, against any and all losses,
claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several (including any investigative,
legal and other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with, and any amounts
paid with the written consent of the Company in settlement of, any action, suit
or proceeding or any claim asserted), to which they or any of them may become
subject under any statute or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as
such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are related to the sale or
acquisition of the Fund's shares or the Contracts and:
(a) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Contracts
Registration Statement, Contracts Prospectus, sales literature or other
promotional material for the Contracts or the Contracts themselves (or any
amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing), or 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 in light
of the circumstances in which they were made; provided that this obligation
to indemnify shall not apply if such statement or omission or such alleged
statement or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity
with information furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of the
Fund or Adviser for use in the Contracts Registration Statement, Contracts
Prospectus or in the Contracts or sales literature or promotional material
for the Contracts (or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing)
or otherwise for use in connection with the sale of the Contracts or Fund
shares; or
-14-
<PAGE>
(b) arise out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in the Fund Registration Statement,
Fund Prospectus or sales literature or other promotional material of the
Fund (or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing), or the
omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to
be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading in light of the circumstances in which they were made, if such
statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with
information furnished in writing to the Fund or the Adviser by or on behalf
of the Company; or
(c) arise out of or are based upon any wrongful conduct of
the Company or persons under its control (or subject to its authorization)
with respect to the sale or distribution of the Contracts or Fund shares;
or
(d) arise as a result of any failure by the Company to
provide the services and furnish the materials or to make any payments as
required under this Agreement; or
(e) arise out of any material breach by the Company of this
Agreement.
This indemnification will be in addition to any liability that the Company
may otherwise have; provided, however, that no party shall be entitled to
indemnification if such loss, claim, damage or liability is due to the wilful
misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of duty by the
party seeking indemnification.
8.2. Indemnification by the Fund. The Fund shall indemnify and hold
---------------------------
harmless the Company and each person who controls the Company within the meaning
of such terms under the 1933 Act and any officer, director, employee or agent of
the foregoing, against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint
or several (including any investigative, legal and other expenses reasonably
incurred in connection with, and any amounts paid with the written consent of
the Fund in settlement of, any action, suit or proceeding or any claim
asserted), to which they or any of them may become subject under any statute or
regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages
or liabilities are related to the sale or acquisition of the Fund's shares or
the Contracts and:
(a) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Fund Registration
Statement, Fund Prospectus or sales literature or other promotional
material of the Fund (or any amendment or supplement to any of the
foregoing), or 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 in light of the circumstances in which
they were made; provided that this obligation to indemnify shall not apply
if such statement or omission or alleged statement or alleged omission was
made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in
writing to the Fund by or on behalf of the Company for use in the Fund
Registration Statement, Fund Prospectus or sales literature
-15-
<PAGE>
or promotional material for the Fund (or any amendment or supplement to any
of the foregoing); or
(b) arise out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of
a material fact contained in the Contracts Registration Statement,
Contracts Prospectus or sales literature or other promotional material for
the Contracts (or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing), or
the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading in light of the circumstances in which they were made, if such
statement or omission was made in reliance upon information furnished in
writing by or on behalf of the Fund to the Company; or
(c) arise out of or are based upon wrongful conduct of the Fund or
persons under its control (or subject to its authorization) with respect to
the sale of Fund shares; or
(d) arise as a result of any failure by the Fund to provide the
services and furnish the materials required under the terms of this
Agreement; or
(e) arise out of any material breach by the Fund of this Agreement
(including any breach of Article VI of this Agreement).
This indemnification will be in addition to any liability that the Fund may
otherwise have; provided, however, that no party shall be entitled to
indemnification if such loss, claim, damage or liability is due to the willful
misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of duty by the
party seeking indemnification.
8.3. Indemnification by the Adviser. The Adviser shall indemnify
------------------------------
and hold harmless the Company and each person who controls the Company within
the meaning of such term under the 1933 Act and any officer, director, employee
or agent of the foregoing, against any and all losses, claims, damages or
liabilities, joint or several (including any investigative, legal and other
expenses reasonably incurred in connection with, and any amounts paid with the
written consent of the Adviser in settlement of, any action, suit or proceeding
or any claim asserted), to which they or any of them may become subject under
any statute or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses,
claims, damages or liabilities are related to the sale or acquisition of the
Fund's shares or the Contract and:
(a) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Fund
Registration Statement, Fund Prospectus or sales literature or other
promotional material of the Fund (or any amendment or supplement to any of
the foregoing), or 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 in light of the circumstances in which
they were
-16-
<PAGE>
made; provided that this obligation to indemnify shall not apply
if such statement or omission or alleged statement or alleged omission was
made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in
writing by or on behalf of the Company to the Fund or the Adviser for use
in the Fund Registration Statement, Fund Prospectus or sales literature or
promotional material for the Fund (or any amendment or supplement to any of
the foregoing); or
(b) arise out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in the Contracts Registration
Statement, Contracts Prospectus or sales literature or other promotional
material for the Contracts (or any amendment or supplement to any of the
foregoing), or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading in light of the circumstances in which they were
made, if such statement or omission was made in reliance upon information
furnished in writing by or on behalf of the Adviser to the Company; or
(c) arise out of or are based upon wrongful conduct of the
Fund or the Adviser with respect to the sale of Fund shares; or
(d) arise as a result of any failure by the Fund or the
Adviser to provide the services and furnish the materials required under
the terms of this Agreement; or
(e) arise out of any material breach by the Fund or the
Adviser of this Agreement (including any breach of Article VI of this
Agreement).
This indemnification will be in addition to any liability that the Adviser may
otherwise have; provided, however, that no party shall be entitled to
indemnification if such loss, claim, damage or liability is due to the willful
misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of duty by the
party seeking indemnification.
-17-
<PAGE>
8.4. Indemnification Procedures. After receipt by a party entitled
--------------------------
to indemnification ("indemnified party") under this Article VIII of notice of
the commencement of any action, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made by
the indemnified party against any person obligated to provide indemnification
under this Article VIII ("indemnifying party"), such indemnified party will
notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof as soon as
practicable thereafter, provided that the omission to so notify the indemnifying
party will not relieve it from any liability under this Article VIII, except to
the extent that the omission results in a failure of actual notice to the
indemnifying party and such indemnifying party is damaged solely as a result of
the failure to give such notice. The indemnifying party, upon the request of the
indemnified party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the
indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and
disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such
proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel
and to participate in the defense of such proceeding, but the fees and expenses
of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the
indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the
retention of such counsel or (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding
(including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the
indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would
be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them.
The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding
effected without its written consent but if settled with such consent or if
there be a final judgment against the indemnified party, the indemnifying party
agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability
by reason of such settlement or judgment.
The amount of any indemnification due the Company by the Adviser
that is not satisfied by the Adviser shall be satisfied by making adjustments to
one or more of the reinsurance treaties that exist between Pacific Mutual Life
Insurance Company and M Life Insurance Company. The manner in which such
adjustments are made shall be reasonably agreed to by Pacific Mutual Life
Insurance Company and M Life Insurance Company.
A successor by law of the parties to this Agreement shall be
entitled to the benefits of the indemnification contained in this Article VIII.
The indemnification provisions contained in this Article VIII shall survive any
termination of this Agreement.
ARTICLE IX. Applicable Law
--------------
9.1. This Agreement shall be construed and the provisions hereof
interpreted under and in accordance with the laws of the State of Maryland,
without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law.
9.2. This Agreement shall be subject to the provisions of the 1933
Act, 1940 Act and Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and
regulations and rulings
-18-
<PAGE>
thereunder, including such exemptions from those statutes, rules and regulations
as the SEC may grant, and the terms hereof shall be limited, interpreted and
construed in accordance therewith.
ARTICLE X. Termination
-----------
10.1. This Agreement shall not terminate until the Fund is
dissolved, liquidated, or merged into another entity, or, as to any Series of
the Fund, the Account no longer invests in that Series. However, certain
obligations of, or restrictions on, the parties to this Agreement may terminate
as provided in Sections 10.2 and 10.3, and the Company may be required to redeem
shares pursuant to Section 10.4 or in the circumstances contemplated by Article
VII.
10.2. Termination of the Fund's Obligation to Sell. The obligation
--------------------------------------------
of the Fund to sell shares to the Company pursuant to Article II of this
Agreement shall terminate at the option of the Fund upon notice to the Company
as provided below:
(a) the Fund Board has terminated the offering of Fund shares
or Series shares pursuant to Section 2.1 of this Agreement; or
(b) upon institution of formal proceedings against the Company
by the NASD, the SEC, the insurance commission of any state or any other
regulatory body regarding the Company's duties under this Agreement or
related to the sale of the Contracts, the operation of the Account, the
administration of the Contracts or the purchase of Fund shares, or an
expected or anticipated ruling, judgment or outcome which would, in the
Fund's reasonable judgment, materially impair the Company's ability to meet
and perform the Company's obligations and duties hereunder; or
(c) in the event any of the Contracts or interests in the
Contracts or Account, as applicable, are not registered, issued or sold in
accordance with applicable federal and/or state law; or
(d) if the Fund or the Adviser, respectively, shall determine,
in their sole judgment exercised in good faith, that either (1) the Company
shall have suffered a material adverse change in its business or financial
condition since the date of this Agreement or (2) the Company shall have
been the subject of material adverse publicity which is likely to have a
material adverse impact upon the business and operations of either the Fund
or the Adviser; or
(e) upon the Company's assignment of this Agreement
(including, without limitation, any transfer of any Contract or the Account
to another insurance company pursuant to an assumption reinsurance
agreement) unless the Fund consents thereto; or
-19-
<PAGE>
(f) upon termination pursuant to Section 10.1 or notice from
the Company pursuant to Section 10.3.
Termination of the Fund's obligation shall take effect immediately upon the
giving of such notice upon the occurrence of an event described in clauses (b)
or (c) above, and 10 (ten) days after the giving of such notice in all other
cases. In exercising its option to terminate its obligation to sell shares to
the Company, the Fund will continue to make Fund shares available to the extent
necessary to permit owners of Contracts in effect on the effective date of such
termination (hereinafter referred to as "Existing Contracts") to reallocate
investments in the Fund, redeem investments in the Fund and/or invest in the
Fund upon the making of additional purchase payments under the Existing
Contracts, unless the Existing Contracts are the basis for the termination. In
that case, the Fund may nonetheless elect to continue to make Fund shares
available for Existing Contracts and if it so elects, shall promptly notify the
Company whether the Fund is electing to make Fund shares available after
termination.
10.3. As to the Company. The restrictions on the Company under
-----------------
Section 2.7(a) of this Agreement shall terminate at the option of the Company
upon 10 days' notice to the Fund:
(a) if shares of any Series are not reasonably available to
meet the requirements of the Contracts as determined by the Company, and
the Fund, after receiving written notice from the Company of such non-
availability, fails to make available a sufficient number of Fund shares to
meet the requirements of the Contracts within 10 days after receipt
thereof; or
(b) upon institution of formal proceedings against the Fund
by the NASD, the SEC or any state securities or insurance commission or any
other regulatory body; or
(c) if the Fund ceases to qualify as a regulated investment
company under Subchapter M of the Code, or under any successor or similar
provision, or if the Company reasonably believes the Fund may fail to so
qualify, and the Fund, upon written request, fails to provide reasonable
assurance that it will take action to cure or correct such failure; or
(d) if the Fund fails to meet the diversification
requirements specified in Section 817(h) of the Code and any regulations
thereunder, and the Fund, upon written request, fails to provide reasonable
assurance that it will take action to cure or correct such failure; or
(e) if the Fund informs the Company pursuant to Section 4.4
that the Fund will not comply with investment restrictions as requested by
the Company, and the Fund and the Company are unable to agree upon any
reasonable alternative accommodations; or
-20-
<PAGE>
(f) upon receipt by the Company of any necessary regulatory
approvals and any necessary vote of the Contract Owners having an interest
in the Account (or any subaccount) to substitute the shares of another
investment company for the corresponding Series shares of the Fund in
accordance with the terms of the Contracts for which those Series shares
had been selected to serve as the underlying investment media. The Company
will give 30 days' prior written notice to the Fund of the date of any
proposed vote or other action taken to replace the Fund's shares; or
(g) upon a material breach of any provision of this Agreement
by either the Fund or the Adviser; or
(h) if the Company determines in its sole judgment exercised
in good faith, that either the Fund or the Adviser has suffered a material
adverse change in its business, operations, or financial conditions since
the date of this Agreement or is the subject of material adverse publicity
which is likely to have a material adverse impact upon the business and
operations of the Company.
10.4. Company Required to Redeem. The parties understand and
--------------------------
acknowledge that it is essential for compliance with Section 817(h) of the Code
that the Contracts qualify as annuity contracts or life insurance policies, as
applicable, under the Code. Accordingly, if any of the Contracts cease to
qualify as annuity contracts or life insurance policies, as applicable, under
the Code, or if the Fund reasonably believes that any such Contracts may fail to
so qualify, the Fund shall have the right to require the Company to redeem
Shares attributable to such Contracts upon ten (10) days written notice to the
Company and the Company shall so redeem such Shares in order to ensure that the
Fund complies with the provisions of Section 817(h) of the Code applicable to
ownership of Fund Shares. Notice to the Company shall specify the period of time
the Company has to redeem the Shares or to make other arrangements satisfactory
to the Fund and its counsel, such period of time to be determined with reference
to the requirements of Section 817(h) of the Code. In addition, the Company may
be required to redeem Shares pursuant to action taken or request made by the
Fund Board in accordance with an order of the SEC as described in Article VII,
or other SEC rule, regulation or order that may be adopted after the date
hereof. The Company agrees to redeem Shares in such circumstances and to comply
with applicable terms and provisions.

Investment Restrictions
Applicable to the Fund
Effective as of the date the Agreement was executed, the following investment
restrictions are applicable to the Fund:
FOREIGN COUNTRY DIVERSIFICATION GUIDELINES to be followed by each portfolio of a
Separate Account are as follows:
A Portfolio will invest in the securities of issuers domiciled or primarily
traded in at least five foreign countries if the Portfolio has invested at least
80% of its net assets in foreign issuers. If the Portfolio has less than 20% of
its net assets in foreign issuers, then all of such investment may be in issuers
domiciled or primarily traded in one country. If the Portfolio has at least 20%
but less than 40% of its net assets in foreign issuers, then such investment
must be allocated to issuers domiciled or primarily traded in at least two
foreign countries. Similarly, if the Portfolio has at least 40% but less than
60% of its net assets invested in foreign issuers, such investment must be
allocated to at least three foreign countries. Foreign investments must be
allocated to at least four foreign countries if such investments comprise at
least 60% but less than 80% of the Portfolio's net assets. The Portfolio will
not invest more than 20% of its net assets in securities of issuers domiciled or
primarily traded in any one country, except that the Portfolio may invest up to
35% of its net assets in issuers domiciled or primarily traded in any one of the
following countries: Australia, Canada, France, Japan, the United Kingdom, or
Germany. The Portfolio is not subject to any limit upon investment in issuers
domiciled or primarily traded in the United States.
BORROWING GUIDELINES to be followed by each portfolio of a separate account are
as follows:
A Portfolio may leverage its assets by borrowing amounts equivalent to no more
than 10% of its total assets, except that a Portfolio may temporarily borrow up
to 25% of its total assets when such borrowing is necessary to meet fund
redemptions. For purposes of this limitation, entering into a reverse
repurchase agreement shall be considered a "borrowing".

DRAFT
AMENDMENT DATED MAY 1, 1997 TO
SCHEDULE 4 OF THE M FUND, INC. PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT WITH
PACIFIC MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
Effective as of the date of this Amendment, pursuant to Bulletin 97-2 dated
March 7, 1997, ("Bulletin"), issued by the California Department of Insurance
("Department"), the M Fund Portfolios are exempt from the investment guidelines
and restrictions set forth in Section V, Hazardous Operations, of the Bulletin
in accordance with the exemptive provisions of Section VI, Non-Hazardous
Operations, of the Bulletin, so long as all Portfolios are registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940. The Department has determined that a hazardous
condition shall not exist if such registration is maintained.
Should any Portfolio not maintain an effective registration, the Fund and the
Adviser agree to comply with such investment guidelines and restrictions as the
Commissioner of the Department may require under Bulletin Section V, in order to
deem the Portfolio's investment practices to be non-hazardous.
Notwithstanding the above, pursuant to Section VI of the Bulletin, in the event
the Commissioner determines that a hazardous condition exists as the result of
the Fund's investment practices, then Section 4.4 of this Agreement shall apply.

(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)

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.

Pacific Life Insurance Company

Post Office Box 9000
Newport Beach, California 92660
Dear Sirs:
In my capacity as Senior Vice President and General Counsel of Pacific Life
Insurance Company ("Pacific Life") I, or attorneys employed by Pacific Life
under my general supervision, have supervised the establishment of Pacific
Select Exec Separate Account of Pacific Life Insurance Company which has been
authorized by resolutions of the Board of Directors of Pacific Life adopted
November 20, 1986 and November 22, 1989 and Memoranda dated May 12, 1988 and
January 26, 1993 concerning Pacific Select Exec Separate Account as the separate
account for assets applicable to M's Versatile Product Flexible Premium Variable
Universal 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 Life and Pacific Select Exec
Separate Account (File No. 811-5563) with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, 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 Life 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 Separate
Account equal to the reserves and other liabilities under the Policies
is not chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business
Pacific Life may conduct, pursuant to the aforesaid provision of
California law.
4. The Policies have been duly authorized by Pacific Life and, when issued
as contemplated by the Registration Statement, will constitute legal,
validly issued and binding obligations of Pacific Life, except as
limited by bankruptcy and insolvency laws affecting the right of
creditors generally.
I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement.

Newport Beach, CA 92660
RE: M's Versatile Product Flexible Premium Variable Life Insurance Policy
To whom it may concern:
In my capacity as Assistant Vice President of the Product Design Department of
Pacific Life Insurance Company, I have provided actuarial advice concerning:
The preparation of the Registration Statement on Form S-6 filed by Pacific Life
Insurance Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the
Securities Act of 1933 with respect to variable life insurance policies (the
"Registration Statement") and the preparation of the policy forms for the
variable life insurance policies described in the Registration Statement (the
"Policies").
It is my professional opinion that:
The illustration of death benefits, cash values and accumulated premiums shown
in the Appendix to the prospectus, based on the assumptions stated in the
illustrations and on the pages immediately preceding the illustrations, are
consistent with the provisions of the Policies. The rate structure of the
Policies has not been designed so as to make the relationship between premiums
and benefits, as shown in the illustrations, appear to be correspondingly more
favorable to the prospective purchaser of the policies at age 45 in the
underwriting classes illustrated than to prospective purchasers of Policies at
other ages or underwriting classes.
I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement.
Sincerely,

Memorandum Describing Issuance, Transfer and Redemption Procedures
<PAGE>
PACIFIC 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 Life Insurance Company ("Pacific Life") in connection with
the issuance of its M's Versatile Product ("MVP") Flexible Premium 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 variable life insurance policy. The
Policy provides lifetime insurance protection for the insured named in the
Policy, with a death benefit payable when the insured dies while the Policy is
in force. A Policy owner may elect one of three 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.
A Policy owner may choose the amount and frequency of premium payments,
subject to a minimum of $50 per payment.
B. Application and Initial Premium Processing
------------------------------------------
Upon receipt of a completed application for a Policy, Pacific Life 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 Life will
first become obligated under a Policy when the total initial premium is received
or on the date the application is accepted by Pacific Life, 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
that the policy is issued. The Policy Date is the date used to determine Policy
years, Policy months, and Policy monthly, quarterly, semi-annual and annual
anniversaries.
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 a 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 Life 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.
<PAGE>
D. Premium Allocation
------------------
A Policy owner may allocate net premiums among the variable accounts and/or
the fixed accounts. When a Policy is issued and all delivery requirements are
received at the Home Office, 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 require a refund of
premium, all net premiums are allocated to the Policy owner's instructions the
later of 15 days after the Policy is issued or when all requirements for the
Policy to be considered in force are delivered to the Home Office (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 Life's Home Office.
E. Reinstatement
-------------
Pacific Life will reinstate a lapsed Policy (see "Policy Lapsation,"
Section III.C. of this document) at any time within five years after the end of
the grace period, provided Pacific Life receives the following: (1) a written
application of the Policy owner; (2) evidence of insurability satisfactory to
Pacific Life for each insured; and (3) payment of all monthly charges 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, no
Policy debt on the date of lapse will also be reinstated; and (3) no interest
on amounts held in Pacific Life'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 Life, 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 Life an amount up to the greater of
90% of the Policy's accumulated value, less any outstanding Policy debt and any
surrender charges, or (2) 100% of the product of (a x b/c - d) where (a) equals
the Policy's accumulated value 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 $200. 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 accounts on a proportional basis, unless the Policy owner
instructs Pacific Life otherwise.
The interest rate on loans is 3.25% for all years. Pacific Life will credit
interest monthly on amounts held in the Loan Account to secure the loan at an
annual rate of 3.00%. The owner may repay all or a 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.
<PAGE>
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.
II. TRANSFER AMONG INVESTMENT DIVISIONS
The Pacific Select Exec Separate Account (the "Separate Account") is a
separate investment account of Pacific Life used to support the variable death
benefits and policy values of Pacific Life's life insurance policies. The
Separate Account currently is made up of fourteen variable accounts which invest
in shares of a corresponding portfolio of Pacific Select Fund (the "Fund"), and
four variable accounts which invest in shares of a corresponding portfolio of M
Fund, Inc. ("M Fund"), the investment vehicles of the Separate Account. The Fund
and M Fund are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 as open-end management investment companies 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 Aggressive Equity Portfolio, the Growth LT Portfolio, the
Equity Income Portfolio, the Multi-Strategy Portfolio, the Equity Portfolio, the
Bond and Income Portfolio, the Equity Index Portfolio, the International
Portfolio, and the Emerging Markets Portfolio. The portfolios of M Fund, each of
which has a different investment objective, are the Brandes International Equity
Fund, the Turner Care Growth Fund, the Frontier Capital Appreciation Fund, and
the Enhanced U.S. Equity Fund.
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 accounts. However, such a transfer will only be permitted in the Policy
month preceding a Policy anniversary. Transfers from the fixed accounts 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) the Policy owner may
transfer no more than the greater of 25% of the Accumulated Value in the Fixed
Account of $5000 to the Variable Accounts in any 12-month period, and no more
than 10% of the Accumulated Value in the Fixed LT Account to the Variable
Accounts.
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 premium paid will not reduce the face amount under the Policy.
A partial withdrawal must be for at least $200, and the Policy's net cash
surrender value after the withdrawal must be at least $200. 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%.
When a partial withdrawal is made on a Policy on which the owner has
selected Death Benefit Option A, 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 of 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
<PAGE>
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 the insured, Pacific Life 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 the Guideline Minimum Death
Benefit or one of the following three 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 or (3) Death Benefit Option C - the face
amount of the Policy plus the total premiums paid minus total withdrawals.
Because of the Guideline Minimum Death Benefit, an increase in accumulated value
may increase the death benefit.
The face amount of the Policy may be decreased by the Policy owner. 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 Life'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 Life 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 insured 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 due 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. above.
