replaced contractually agreed to waive all or part of our
investment advisory fees or otherwise reimburse
each portfolio for operating expenses (including
organizational expenses, but not including advisory

investing and extraordinary expenses) that exceed
an annual rate of 0.10% of its average daily net
assets. Such waiver or reimbursement is subject to
repayment to us to the extent such expenses fall
below the 0.10% expense cap. For each portfolio,
our right to repayment is limited to amounts waived
and/or reimbursed that exceed the new 0.10% expense
cap, but do not exceed the previously established
0.25% expense cap. Any amounts repaid to us will
have the effect of increasing expenses of the
portfolio, but not above the 0.10% expense cap.
There is no guarantee that we will continue to cap
expenses after December 31, 2001. In 1999, Pacific
Life reimbursed the Small-Cap Index Portfolio

distributor may defray expenses of up to
approximately $300,000 for the year 2000, which
it might otherwise incur for distribution. If
such defrayed amount were considered a fund
expense, it would represent approximately
