  [LOGO OF PACIFIC SELECT VARIABLE ANNUITY]
 
  This Prospectus describes Pacific Select Variable Annuity--an individual
flexible premium variable accumulation deferred annuity contract (the
"Contract") offered by Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Company ("Pacific
Mutual"). The Contract presents a dynamic concept in retirement planning
designed to give Contract Owners flexibility in attaining financial goals. The
Contract is available for individuals as a non-tax qualified retirement plan
("Non-Qualified Plan") under certain tax-qualified retirement plans
("Qualified Plan").
   
  During the Accumulation Period, the Contract provides for the accumulation
of a Contract Owner's value on either a variable basis, a fixed basis, or
both. The Contract also provides several options for fixed annuity payments to
begin on a future date. Premium payments may be allocated at the Contract
Owner's discretion to one or more of the Investment Options currently
available. Each of the Variable Investment Options (also called "Variable
Accounts") is a subaccount of a separate account of Pacific Mutual called the
Pacific Select Variable Annuity Separate Account (the "Separate Account"). The
Variable Accounts invest in one or more of the corresponding Portfolios of the
Pacific Select Fund (the "Fund"), which currently are the following fourteen
Portfolios:     
 
          
      Money Market Portfolio                Equity Income Portfolio
      High Yield Bond Portfolio             Multi-Strategy Portfolio
      Managed Bond Portfolio                Equity Portfolio
      Government Securities Portfolio       Bond and Income Portfolio
      Growth Portfolio*                     Equity Index Portfolio
      Aggressive Equity Portfolio           International Portfolio
      Growth LT Portfolio                   Emerging Markets Portfolio     
 
  A Fixed Option called the Fixed Account is also available. The Accumulated
Value in the Fixed Account will accrue interest at rates that are paid by
Pacific Mutual as described in "The Fixed Account".
 
  The Accumulated Value in the Variable Accounts under a Contract will vary
based on investment performance of the Variable Accounts to which the
Accumulated Value is allocated. No minimum amount of Accumulated Value is
guaranteed.
 
  A Contract may be returned according to the terms of its Free-Look Right
(See "Free-Look Right").
 
  THE CONTRACT INVOLVES INVESTMENT RISK, INCLUDING LOSS OF PRINCIPAL, AND IS
NOT A DEPOSIT OR OBLIGATION OF, OR GUARANTEED OR ENDORSED BY, ANY BANK. THE
CONTRACT IS NOT FEDERALLY INSURED BY THE FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE
CORPORATION, THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD, OR ANY OTHER AGENCY.
   
  This Prospectus concisely sets forth information about the Contract and the
Separate Account that an investor should know before purchasing a Contract.
Certain additional information is contained in a "Statement of Additional
Information ("SAI")," dated April 1, 1996, which has been filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), and can be obtained by calling
or writing Pacific Mutual at the telephone number and address above. The table
of contents of the Statement of Additional Information is set forth on page 42
of this Prospectus.     
 
  * The Growth Variable Account that invests in the Growth Portfolio is
available only to Owners of Contracts issued prior to January 1, 1994. It is
not available to Owners of Contracts issued on or after January 1, 1994.

     OR ADEQUACY OF  THIS PROSPECTUS. ANY REPRESENTATION  TO THE CONTRARY
       IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

                                    SUMMARY
 
  This summary is intended to provide a brief overview of the more significant
aspects of the Contract. Further detail is provided in this Prospectus, the
Statement of Additional Information, and the Contract. Unless the context
indicates otherwise, the discussion in this summary and the remainder of the
Prospectus relates to the portion of the Contract involving the Separate
Account. The Fixed Account is briefly described under "The Fixed Account," in
this Prospectus and in the Contract.
 
PURPOSE OF THE CONTRACT
 
  The Contract described in this Prospectus presents a dynamic concept in
retirement planning designed to give Contract Owners flexibility in attaining
financial goals. The Contract provides for the accumulation of values on a
variable basis, a fixed basis, or both, during the Accumulation Period and
provides several options for fixed annuity payments. During the Accumulation
Period, an Owner can pursue various allocation options by allocating premiums
to the Variable Accounts of the Separate Account or to the Fixed Account. See
"The Contract," page 16.
 
  The Contract is eligible for purchase as a non-tax qualified retirement plan
for an individual ("Non-Qualified Plan"). The Contract is also eligible for an
individual in connection with a retirement plan qualified under Section 401,
408, or 457 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. These plans are
sometimes referred to in this Prospectus as "Qualified Plans."
 
THE VARIABLE ACCOUNTS AND THE FUND
   
  Premiums designated to accumulate on a variable basis are allocated to the
Separate Account. See "Separate Account." The Separate Account is currently
divided into fourteen subaccounts called Variable Accounts or Variable
Investment Options. Each Variable Account invests exclusively in shares of a
specific Portfolio of the Fund. The Portfolios of the Fund, each of which has a
different investment objective or objectives, are as follows: Money Market
Portfolio, High Yield Bond Portfolio, Managed Bond Portfolio, Government
Securities Portfolio, Growth Portfolio, Aggressive Equity Portfolio, Growth LT
Portfolio, Equity Income Portfolio, Multi-Strategy Portfolio, Equity Portfolio,
Bond and Income Portfolio, Equity Index Portfolio, International Portfolio, and
Emerging Markets Portfolio. See "Pacific Select Fund," page 14. Amounts held in
a Variable Account will increase or decrease in dollar value depending on the
investment performance of the corresponding Portfolio of the Fund in which such
Variable Account invests. The Contract Owner bears the investment risk for
amounts allocated to a Variable Account.     
 
  The Growth Variable Account that invests in the Growth Portfolio is available
only to Owners of Contracts issued prior to January 1, 1994. It is not
available to Owners of Contracts issued on or after January 1, 1994.
 
FIXED ACCOUNT
 
  Premiums designated to accumulate on a fixed basis may be allocated to the
Fixed Account, which is part of Pacific Mutual's General Account. Amounts
allocated to the Fixed Account earn interest at rates determined at least
annually by Pacific Mutual and that are guaranteed to be at least an effective
annual rate of 4%. See "The Fixed Account," on page 28.
 
PREMIUMS
 
  The minimum initial premium is $5,000 for a Contract issued in connection
with a Non-Qualified Plan and $2,000 for a Contract issued in connection with a
Qualified Plan. Thereafter, the Contract Owner may choose the amount and
frequency of premium payments, except that the minimum subsequent premium is
$250 for both Non-Qualified and Qualified Plans, except for certain Qualified
Plans, in which case it is $50.

CONTRACT BENEFITS
 
  During the Accumulation Period, Accumulated Value may be transferred by the
Contract Owner among the Variable Accounts and to and from the Fixed Account,
subject to certain restrictions as described in "Transfers of Accumulated
Value," on page 18.
 
  At any time before the Annuity Start Date, a Contract may be surrendered for
its Full Withdrawal Value, and partial withdrawals, including preauthorized
scheduled withdrawals, may be taken from the Accumulated Value. Full and
partial withdrawals, including preauthorized scheduled withdrawals, may result
in the deduction of a contingent deferred sales charge. See "Full and Partial
Withdrawals," on page 20 and "Preauthorized Scheduled Withdrawals," on page 20
for more information, including the possible charges and tax consequences
associated with full and partial withdrawals.
 
  The Contract provides for a death benefit upon the death of the Annuitant
during the Accumulation Period. See "Death Benefit," on page 22. The Contract
provides for several fixed Annuity Options. Payments under the Annuity Options
will be fixed and guaranteed by Pacific Mutual. Pacific Mutual reserves the
right to offer annuity options on a variable basis. See "Annuity Period," on
page 26.
 
FREE-LOOK RIGHT
 
  An Owner may return a Contract within the Free-Look Period, which is a ten-
day period beginning when the Owner receives the Contract unless state law
requires otherwise.
   
  Premiums received during the Free-Look Period will, except as indicated
below, be allocated according to the Contract Owner's instructions contained in
the application or more recent instructions received, if any. In the event that
an Owner returns a Contract within the Free-Look Period, Pacific Mutual will
refund to the Owner any premium payments allocated to the Fixed Account and the
Accumulated Value allocated to the Variable Accounts as of the end of the
Valuation Period in which Pacific Mutual receives the Contract plus any
Contract Fees and Charges deducted from the Contract Owner's Accumulated Value
allocated to the Variable Accounts.     
   
  If the Contract Owner resides in a state that requires Pacific Mutual to
return premium payments to Owners who exercise the Free-Look Right, Pacific
Mutual will refund any premiums received or, if required by the Owner's state
of residence, premiums allocated to the Fixed Account plus the greater of
premiums allocated to the Variable Accounts or Accumulated Value in the
Variable Accounts plus any charges and fees deducted from the Variable Accounts
on the contract date. Premiums received during the Free-Look Period will
initially be allocated to the Money Market Variable Account. The Accumulated
Value in the Money Market Variable Account will be transferred automatically to
the Variable Accounts and the Fixed Account elected in the Owner's application
(or, if received more recently, in written instructions) 15 days after the
Contract is issued. In Pennsylvania, Pacific Mutual will refund premiums
allocated to the Fixed Account plus the Accumulated Value in the Variable
Accounts plus any Charges deducted from the Variable Accounts on the Contract
Date.     
       
CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS
 
  Pacific Mutual does not make any deductions for sales load from premium
payments before allocating them to the Owner's Accumulated Value. Certain
charges will be deducted in connection with the Contract.

 Contingent Deferred Sales Charge
 
  A contingent deferred sales charge (which may also be referred to as a
withdrawal charge) may be assessed by Pacific Mutual on a full or partial
withdrawal, including a scheduled withdrawal, during the Accumulation Period
and, under certain circumstances, upon annuitization. The withdrawal charge
will be waived on withdrawals to the extent that total withdrawals that are
free of charge during the Contract Year do not exceed 10% of the sum of the
premium payments made during the current Contract Year up to the Valuation Date
of the withdrawal and the preceding four Contract Years. The withdrawal charge
applies against any withdrawal to the extent the amount withdrawn is
attributable to premium payments made. For the purpose of determining any
withdrawal charge, withdrawals are applied to premium payments in the order
premium payments are made, then to earnings. The amount of the charge will
depend upon the number of Contract Years that a premium has remained credited
under the Contract, as follows:

</TABLE>
 
  In no event will the amount of any withdrawal charge, when added to any such
charge previously assessed against any amount withdrawn from the Contract,
exceed 6% of the premiums paid under a Contract. In addition, no withdrawal
charge will be imposed upon: (1) payment of death benefit proceeds under the
Contract; (2) withdrawals effected to meet the minimum distribution rules for
Qualified Plans as they apply to amounts held under the Contract; and (3) in
certain instances annuitization. Subject to approval of state insurance
authorities, the withdrawal charge will also be waived on a full or partial
withdrawal if the Annuitant has been diagnosed with a medically determinable
condition which results in a life expectancy of 12 months or less. See
"Contingent Deferred Sales Charge," on page 23.
 
 Mortality and Expense Risk Charge
 
  Pacific Mutual deducts a daily charge from the assets of each Variable
Account for mortality and expense risks equal to an annual rate of 1.25% of the
average daily net assets of each Variable Account. See "Mortality and Expense
Risk Charge," on page 24.
 
 Administrative Charge
 
  On each Monthly Anniversary following the Contract Date, Pacific Mutual
deducts a monthly administrative charge during the Accumulation Period equal to
 .000125 multiplied by a Contract's Accumulated Value in the Variable Accounts
and Fixed Account, which is equal to an annual rate of 0.15% of a Contract's
Accumulated Value in the Variable Accounts and Fixed Account. On Contracts
issued in connection with applications received by Pacific Mutual at its
Variable Annuity Department before May 1, 1992, the rate of this charge is
currently reduced to .0001 (.12% on an annual basis), and, if the initial
premium is $50,000 or more on such Contracts, to .00005 (.06% on an annual
basis). See "Administrative Charge," on page 24.
 
 Maintenance Fee
 
  During the Accumulation Period, an annual fee of $30 is deducted on each
Contract Anniversary to cover the costs of maintaining records for the
Contract. This charge is pro-rated upon annuitization or a full withdrawal. The
charge is currently waived on Contracts for which the premium payments received
during the first Contract Year equal $50,000 or more. See "Maintenance Fee," on
page 25.
 
 
                                       8
<PAGE>
 
 Transfer Fee
 
  Currently no transfer fee is imposed. Pacific Mutual reserves the right to
assess a transfer fee of $10 per transaction on the thirteenth and any
subsequent transfer occurring in a Contract Year.
 
 Premium Tax Charge
 
  Pacific Mutual assesses a premium tax charge to reimburse itself for any
premium taxes that it incurs. This charge will be deducted on annuitization or
upon full withdrawal if a premium tax was incurred by Pacific Mutual and is not
refundable. Partial withdrawals, including scheduled withdrawals, may result in
a premium tax charge if a premium tax is incurred by Pacific Mutual and is not
refundable. Pacific Mutual reserves the right to deduct such taxes when
incurred or upon distributions. Premium tax rates currently range from 0% to
3.5%. See "Premium Tax and Other Taxes," on page 25.
 
 Other Expenses
 
  The operating expenses of the Separate Account are paid by Pacific Mutual.
Investment advisory fees and operating expenses of the Fund are paid by the
Fund. For a description of these charges and expenses, see the Prospectus for
the Fund.
 
CONTACTING PACIFIC MUTUAL
 
  Premium payments, applications accompanying premium payments, and loan
repayments should be directed to Pacific Mutual at P.O. Box 100060, Pasadena,
California 91189-0060. All written requests, notices, and other forms required
by the Contract, including applications not accompanied by premium payments,
and any questions or inquiries should be directed to Pacific Mutual at P.O. Box
7187, Pasadena, California 91109-7187. Express Mail should be directed to
Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Company, c/o FCNPC, 1111 South Arroyo Parkway,
1st Floor, Pasadena, California 91105. A service representative may be reached
by calling 1-800- 722-2333 between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.,
Pacific time.
          
  The effective date of certain notices or of instructions is determined by the
date and time on which Pacific Mutual "receives" the notice or instructions.
Pacific Mutual "receives" this information only when it arrives, in good form,
at the correct mailing address set out above. Please call Pacific Mutual at 1-
800-722-2333 if the Owner has any questions regarding which address to use.
       
  Additional premium payments, loan repayments, transfer requests, and
withdrawal requests we receive before 4:00 p.m. Eastern time (or the close of
the New York Stock Exchange, if earlier) will normally be effective on the same
Valuation Date that Pacific Mutual receives them in "proper form", unless the
transaction or event is scheduled to occur on another day. Generally, whenever
the Owner submits any other form, notice or request, the instructions will be
effective on the next Valuation Date after Pacific Mutual receives them in
"proper form" unless the transaction or event is scheduled to occur on another
day. "Proper form" may require, among other things, a signature guarantee or
other verification of authenticity. Pacific Mutual does not generally require a
signature guarantee unless it appears that the Owner's 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 Pacific Mutual. The Owner should call the Owner's
registered representative or Pacific Mutual if the Owner has any questions
regarding the required form of a request.

- --------
/1/ The withdrawal charge will be waived to the extent that total withdrawals
    free of charge during the Contract Year do not exceed 10% of the sum of the
    premium payments made during the current Contract Year and the preceding
    four Contract Years. When added to the withdrawal charges assessed on prior
    withdrawals, the total withdrawal charge will never exceed 6% of total
    premiums paid.
 
/2/ On Contracts issued in connection with applications received by Pacific
    Mutual at its Home Office before May 1, 1992, the rate of this charge is
    currently reduced to .0001 (.12% on an annual basis), and, if the initial
    premium is $50,000 or more on such Contracts, to .00005 (.06% on an annual
    basis). Pacific Mutual has reserved the right to increase the
    administrative fee on such Contracts up to 0.15% per year.
 
/3/ The Maintenance Fee is currently waived on Contracts for which premiums
    received in the first Contract Year are $50,000 or more.
 
/4/ Pacific Mutual reserves the right to assess a transfer fee of $10 per
    transaction on the thirteenth and any subsequent transfer occuring in any
    Contract Year.
   
/5/ The expenses listed for the Fund Portfolios reflect current expenses for
    the year ending December 31, 1995. The Aggressive Equity and Emerging
    Markets Portfolios did not begin operations until April 1, 1996 and their
    estimated "other expenses" reflect the policy adopted by Pacific Mutual as
    Investment Adviser to the Fund, to waive its fees and 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) expressed
    as a decimal are not greater than 0.0025 of average daily net assets per
    year. We began this policy in 1989 and intend to continue this policy until
    at least December 31, 1997, but may discontinue it after that time. In the
    absence of this policy, it is estimated that such expenses for the Emerging
    Markets Portfolio would exceed this expense cap in 1996. No reimbursement
    to the Portfolios was necessary for the Fund's fiscal year 1995.     
 
EXAMPLES
   
  Different examples are presented below that show expenses that an Owner of a
Contract with Accumulated Value allocated to a Variable Account would pay at
the end of one, three, five or ten years if, at the end of those time periods,
the Contract is (1) surrendered, (2) annuitized, (3) not surrendered or
annuitized. The examples assume a $1000 investment and a 5% annual rate of
return. In addition, the examples reflect an average initial premium of
approximately $40,000 and a prorata portion of the annual maintenance fee.
Each example shows expenses based upon allocation to each of the Variable
Accounts.     
 
  The examples below should not be considered a representation of past or
future expenses. Actual expenses may be greater or lesser than those shown.
The 5% return assumed in the examples is hypothetical and should not be
considered a representation of past or future actual returns, which may be
greater or lesser than the assumed amount.

                       INFORMATION ABOUT PACIFIC MUTUAL,
                      THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT, AND THE FUND
 
PACIFIC MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
 
  Pacific Mutual is a mutual life insurance company organized under the laws
of the State of California. It was authorized to conduct business as a life
insurance company on January 2, 1868, as Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Company
of California, and was reincorporated under its present name on July 22, 1936.
   
  Pacific Mutual offers a complete line of life insurance policies and annuity
contracts, as well as financial and retirement services. It is admitted to do
business in the District of Columbia, and in all states except New York. As of
the end of 1995, Pacific Mutual had over $44.2 billion of individual life
insurance in force and total assets of $17.6 billion. Together with its
subsidiaries and affiliated enterprises, Pacific Mutual has total assets and
funds under management of over $116.6 billion. It has been ranked according to
assets in the top 24 largest life insurance carriers in the nation for 1994.
       
  The Principal Underwriter for the Contracts is Pacific Mutual Distributors,
Inc. ("PMD"), formerly Pacific Equities Network. PMD is registered as a
broker-dealer with the SEC and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pacific Mutual.
    
SEPARATE ACCOUNT
 
  The Separate Account was established by Pacific Mutual on November 30, 1989,
under procedures established under California law. The income, gains, or
losses of the Separate Account are credited to or charged against the assets
of the Separate Account without regard to other income, gains, or losses of
Pacific Mutual. Assets in the Separate Account attributable to the reserves
and other liabilities under the Contracts are not chargeable with liabilities
arising from any other business that Pacific Mutual conducts. Pacific Mutual
owns the assets in the Separate Account and is required to maintain sufficient
assets in the Separate Account to meet all Separate Account obligations under
the Contracts. Pacific Mutual may transfer to its General Account assets that
exceed anticipated obligations of the Separate Account. All obligations
arising under the Contracts are general corporate obligations of Pacific
Mutual. Pacific Mutual may invest its own assets in the Separate Account for
other purposes, but not to support contracts other than variable annuity
contracts, and may accumulate in the Separate Account proceeds from Contract
charges and investment results applicable to those assets.
   
  The Separate Account is currently divided into fourteen Variable Accounts.
Each Variable Account invests exclusively in shares of a specific Portfolio of
the Fund. Pacific Mutual may in the future establish additional Variable
Accounts of the Separate Account, which may invest in other Portfolios of the
Fund or in other securities, mutual funds, or investment vehicles.     
 
  The Separate Account is registered with the SEC as a unit investment trust
under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"). Registration with
the SEC does not involve supervision by the SEC of the administration or
investment practices of the Separate Account or of Pacific Mutual.
 
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 1940 Act. The Fund
currently has fourteen separate Portfolios, each of which pursues different
investment objectives and policies.     
 
  Shares of the Fund currently are offered only for purchase by separate
accounts of Pacific Mutual to serve as an investment medium for variable
annuity contracts and for variable life insurance policies issued by Pacific
Mutual and to a separate account of Pacific Corinthian Life Insurance Company,
a subsidiary of Pacific Mutual,
 
                                      14
<PAGE>
 
to serve as an investment medium for variable annuity contracts issued by
Pacific Corinthian. Shares of the Fund may also be sold in the future to
separate accounts of other insurance companies, both affiliated and not
affiliated with Pacific Mutual.
 
  The chart below summarizes some basic data about each Portfolio of the Fund.
There can be no assurance that any Portfolio will achieve its objective. More
detailed information is contained in the accompanying prospectus of the Fund,
including information on the risks associated with the investments and
investment techniques of each of the Portfolios.

THE INVESTMENT ADVISER
   
  Pacific Mutual, located at 700 Newport Center Drive, Newport Beach,
California 92660, serves as Investment Adviser to each Portfolio of the Fund.
Pacific Mutual is registered with the SEC as an investment adviser. For twelve
of the Portfolios, the Investment Adviser and the Fund have engaged other
firms to serve as Portfolio Managers under the supervision of Pacific Mutual.
    
                                 THE CONTRACT
 
GENERAL
 
  To the extent that all or a portion of premium payments are allocated to the
Variable Accounts, the Contract is significantly different from a fixed
annuity contract in that it is the Owner under a Contract who assumes the risk
of investment gain or loss rather than Pacific Mutual. Upon the maturity of a
Contract, the Contract provides several fixed Annuity Options under which
Pacific Mutual will pay specified periodic annuity payments beginning on the
Annuity Start Date. The amount that will be available for annuity payments
will depend on the investment performance of the Variable Accounts to which
premiums have been allocated.
 
  The Contract is available for purchase as a non-tax qualified retirement
plan by an individual. The Contract is also eligible for use in connection
with certain tax qualified retirement plans that meet the requirements of
Sections 401 and 408 of the Internal Revenue Code. Certain Federal tax
advantages are currently available to retirement plans that qualify as (1)
self-employed individuals' retirement plans under Section 401, such as HR-10
or Keogh plans, (2) pension or profit-sharing plans established by an employer
for the benefit of its employees under Section 401, (3) individual retirement
accounts or annuities, including those established by an employer as a
simplified employee pension plan under Section 408, (4) Section 403(b) Tax-
Sheltered Annuities, and (5) Section 457 plans. Joint Owners are permitted on
a Contract issued pursuant to a Non-Qualified Plan. The Contract is not
available for use in connection with tax qualified retirement plans under
Section 403(b) unless otherwise approved by Pacific Mutual.
 
APPLICATION FOR A CONTRACT
 
  Any person wishing to purchase a Contract may submit an application and an
initial premium to Pacific Mutual, as well as any other form or information
that Pacific Mutual may require. Pacific Mutual reserves the right to reject
an application or premium payment for any reason, subject to Pacific Mutual's
underwriting standards and guidelines and any applicable state or Federal law
relating to nondiscrimination.
 
  The maximum Age of an Annuitant for which a Contract will be issued is 85.
The Annuitant's Age is calculated as of his or her nearest birthday. If there
are Joint Annuitants, the maximum issue Age will be determined by reference to
the younger Annuitant.
 
PREMIUM PAYMENTS
 
  The minimum initial premium for the purchase of a Contract is $5,000 in
connection with a Non-Qualified Plan and $2,000 in connection with a Qualified
Plan. Thereafter, the Contract Owner may choose the amount and frequency of
premium payments, except that the minimum subsequent premium is $250 for both
Non-Qualified and Qualified Plans, except for individual retirement annuities
and simplified employee pension plans, in which case it is $50. No minimum
initial or subsequent premium requirements will apply to a Contract purchased
in connection with the Texas Optional Retirement Program. Pacific Mutual may
reduce the minimum premium requirements under certain circumstances, such as
for group or sponsored arrangements.
 
  Any premium that results in total premiums paid under a Contract exceeding
$5 million will not be accepted without prior approval of Pacific Mutual. No
premium or transfer can be allocated to the Fixed Account without
 
                                      16
<PAGE>
 
prior approval by Pacific Mutual if, immediately after the premium payment or
transfer, the Accumulated Value in the Fixed Account would be $250,000 or
more.
 
  An initial premium payment will be applied not later than the end of the
second Valuation Date after the Valuation Date it is received by Pacific
Mutual if the premium is preceded or accompanied by sufficient information
necessary to establish an account and properly credit such premium payment. If
Pacific Mutual does not receive sufficient information, Pacific Mutual will
notify the applicant that Pacific Mutual does not have the necessary
information to issue a Contract. If the necessary information is not provided
to Pacific Mutual within five Valuation Dates after the Valuation Date on
which Pacific Mutual first receives the initial premium (or, if sooner, other
period required by law), or if Pacific Mutual determines it cannot otherwise
issue the Contract, Pacific Mutual will return the initial premium to the
applicant unless the applicant consents to Pacific Mutual retaining the
premium until the requested information has been provided.
 
  Subsequent premiums will be credited as of the end of the Valuation Period
in which they are received by Pacific Mutual. Premium payments after the
initial premium may be made at any time prior to the Annuity Start Date, so
long as the Annuitant is living. Subsequent premiums under a Qualified Plan
may be limited by the terms of the plan and provisions of the Internal Revenue
Code. Premiums may be paid monthly via electronic funds transfer under the
Uni-Check plan where the Owner authorizes Pacific Mutual to withdraw premiums
from the Owner's checking account each month. The minimum initial premium can
be met by payment under the Uni-Check plan.
 
ALLOCATION LIMITATION
 
  The Growth Variable Account that invests in the Growth Portfolio is
available only to Owners of Contracts issued prior to January 1, 1994. It is
not available to Owners of Contracts issued on or after January 1, 1994.
 
ALLOCATION OF PREMIUMS
 
  In an application for a Contract, the Contract Owner selects the Variable
Accounts or the Fixed Account to which premium payments will be allocated.
During the Free-Look Period, except as indicated below, premiums will be
allocated according to the Contract Owner's instructions contained in the
application (or more recent instructions received, if any). For residents of
states that require a refund of premiums to a Contract Owner who returns a
Contract during the Free-Look Period, premiums received during the Free-Look
Period will be allocated to the Money Market Variable Account. The Accumulated
Value will then be automatically allocated according to the Contract Owner's
instructions contained in the application (or, if received more recently, in
written instructions) 15 days after the Contract is issued. Premiums credited
to the Contract after this time will be allocated according to the Contract
Owner's most recent instructions as of the end of the Valuation Period on
which the premiums are received by Pacific Mutual.
       
  A Contract Owner may change the premium allocation instructions by
submitting a proper written request to Pacific Mutual. Changes in premium
allocation instructions may be made by telephone provided an authorization for
telephone requests is on file at Pacific Mutual. A proper change in allocation
instructions will be effective upon receipt by Pacific Mutual and will
continue in effect until subsequently changed. Changes in
 
                                      17
<PAGE>
 
the allocation of future premiums have no effect on existing Accumulated
Value. Such Accumulated Value, however, may be transferred among the Variable
Accounts of the Separate Account or the Fixed Account in the manner described
in "Transfers of Accumulated Value."
 
DOLLAR COST AVERAGING OPTION
 
  Pacific Mutual currently offers an option under which Contract Owners may
dollar cost average their allocations in the Variable Accounts under the
Contract by authorizing Pacific Mutual to make periodic allocations of
Accumulated Value from any one Variable Account to one or more of the other
Variable Accounts, subject to the limitation on the Growth Variable Account.
Contract Owners may authorize Pacific Mutual to make periodic allocations from
the Fixed Account to one or more Variable Accounts. Dollar Cost Averaging
allocations may not be made from the Fixed Account and a Variable Account at
the same time. 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 cycles. 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 Period during
which each transfer is 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 a Contract Owner
will not have losses.
 
  An Owner may request Dollar Cost Averaging by sending a proper written
request to Pacific Mutual, or by telephone request provided an authorization
for telephone requests is on file at Pacific Mutual. The Contract Owner must
designate the specific dollar amounts or percentages to be transferred, the
Variable Account or Accounts to which the transfer will be made, the desired
frequency of the transfer, which may be on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual,
or annual basis, and the length of time during which the transfers shall
continue or the total amount to be transferred over time.
 
  To elect the Dollar Cost Averaging Option, the Accumulated Value in the
Variable Account or Fixed Account from which the Dollar Cost Averaging
transfers will be made must be at least $5,000. The minimum amount that may be
transferred to any one Variable Account is $50. Pacific Mutual may
discontinue, modify, or suspend the Dollar Cost Averaging Option at any time.
See the Statement of Additional Information for further information on the
Dollar Cost Averaging feature.
 
PORTFOLIO REBALANCING OPTION
 
  Pacific Mutual currently offers an option which allows Contract Owners who
are not currently Dollar Cost Averaging to maintain the percentage of Contract
Value allocated to each Variable Investment Option at a pre-set level (e.g.,
30% in the Equity Index Variable Account, 40% in the Managed Bond Variable
Account, and 30% in the Growth LT Variable Account). Periodically, Pacific
Mutual will "rebalance" the Contract Value to the percentages specified by the
Owner. Rebalancing may result in transferring amounts from a Variable Account
earning a relatively higher return to one earning a relatively lower return.
The Fixed Option is not available for rebalancing. More detailed information
appears in the Statement of Additional Information.
 
TRANSFERS OF ACCUMULATED VALUE
 
  During the Accumulation Period and after the Free-Look Period, Accumulated
Value may be transferred among the Variable Accounts by the Contract Owner
upon proper written request to Pacific Mutual. Transfers may be made by
telephone if an authorization for telephone requests is on file at Pacific
Mutual. Transfer requests received after 1:00 p.m. Pacific Time, or the close
of the New York Stock Exchange, if earlier, will be processed as of the end of
the next following Valuation Date. Currently there are no limitations on the
number of transfers between Variable Accounts, no minimum amount required for
a transfer (except as required under the Dollar Cost Averaging Option), nor
any minimum amount required to be remaining in a given Variable Account after
a
 
                                      18
<PAGE>
 
transfer. Owners of Contracts issued prior to January 1, 1994 may continue to
transfer to or from the Growth Variable Account.
 
  Accumulated Value may also be transferred from the Variable Accounts to the
Fixed Account. Transfers from the Fixed Account to the Variable Accounts are
restricted as described in "The Fixed Account".
 
  No charges are currently imposed upon transfers. Pacific Mutual reserves the
right, however, at a future date to charge a transfer fee of $10 per
transaction on the thirteenth and any subsequent transfer in any Contract
Year. See "Transfer Fee". Pacific Mutual also reserves the right to limit the
size of transfers and remaining balances, to limit the number and frequency of
transfers, and to discontinue telephone transfers.
 
ACCUMULATED VALUE
 
  The Accumulated Value is the sum of the amounts under the Contract held in
each Variable Account of the Separate Account and in the Fixed Account, as
well as the amount set aside in Pacific Mutual's Loan Account to secure any
Contract Debt.
 
  On each Valuation Date, the portion of the Accumulated Value allocated to
any particular Variable Account will be adjusted to reflect the investment
experience of that Variable Account. See "Determination of Accumulated Value,"
below. No minimum amount of Accumulated Value is guaranteed. A Contract Owner
bears the entire investment risk relating to the investment performance of
Accumulated Value allocated to the Variable Accounts.
 
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 Contract Debt, partial withdrawals, and the charges assessed in
connection with the Contract. The amounts allocated to the Variable Accounts
will be invested in shares of the corresponding Portfolios of the Fund. The
investment performance of the Variable Accounts will reflect increases or
decreases in the net asset value per share of the corresponding Portfolios 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 Pacific Mutual, on behalf of the
Separate Account, elects otherwise.
   
  Assets in the Variable Accounts are divided into Accumulation Units, which
are accounting units of measure used to calculate the value of a Contract
Owner's interest in a Variable Account. When a Contract Owner allocates
premiums to a Variable Account, the Contract is credited with Accumulation
Units. The number of Accumulation Units to be credited is determined by
dividing the dollar amount allocated to the particular Variable Account by the
Accumulation Unit value for the particular Variable Account at the end of the
Valuation Period in which the premium is credited. In addition, other
transactions including loans, full or partial withdrawals, transfers, and
assessment of certain charges against the Contract affect the number of
Accumulation Units credited to a Contract. 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 Accumulation Unit value of each Variable Account is determined on
each Valuation Date at or about 1:00 p.m. Pacific Time. The number of
Accumulation Units credited to a Contract shall not be changed by any
subsequent change in the value of an Accumulation Unit, but the dollar value
of an Accumulation Unit may vary from Valuation Date to Valuation Date
depending upon the investment experience of the Variable Account and charges
against the Variable Account.     
 
  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 dividing the value of each Variable Account's net assets by the number of
Accumulation Units credited to the Variable Account on that date.
Determination of the value of the net assets of a Variable Account takes into
account the following: (1) the investment performance of the
 
                                      19
<PAGE>
 
Variable Account, which is based upon the investment performance of the
corresponding Portfolio of the Fund, (2) any dividends or distributions paid
by the corresponding Portfolio, (3) the charges, if any, that may be assessed
by Pacific Mutual for taxes attributable to the operation of the Variable
Account, or to the operations of Pacific Mutual with respect to the contract,
and (4) the mortality and expense risk charge under the Contract.
 
FULL AND PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS
 
  A Contract Owner may obtain proceeds from a Contract by surrendering the
Contract for its Full Withdrawal Value or by making a partial withdrawal. A
full or partial withdrawal, including a scheduled partial withdrawal, may be
taken from a Contract's Accumulated Value at any time while the Annuitant is
living and before the Annuity Start Date, subject to the limitations under the
applicable plan for Qualified Plans and applicable law. A full or unscheduled
partial withdrawal request will be effective as of the end of the Valuation
Period that a proper written request is received by Pacific Mutual.
 
  The proceeds received upon a full withdrawal will be the Contract's Full
Withdrawal Value. The Full Withdrawal Value is equal to the Accumulated Value
as of the end of the Valuation Period during which a proper withdrawal request
is received by Pacific Mutual, minus any maintenance fee, any applicable
contingent deferred sales charge, and any outstanding Contract Debt. A partial
withdrawal may be requested for a specified percentage or dollar amount of
Accumulated Value. Each unscheduled partial withdrawal must be for at least
$500. A request for a partial withdrawal will result in a payment by Pacific
Mutual in accordance with the amount specified in the partial withdrawal
request. Upon payment, the Contract Owner's Accumulated Value will be reduced
by an amount equal to the payment and any applicable contingent deferred sales
charge, and any applicable premium tax. If a partial withdrawal is requested
that would leave the Full Withdrawal Value in the Contract less than $500 then
Pacific Mutual reserves the right to treat the partial withdrawal as a request
for a full withdrawal.
 
  The amount of a partial withdrawal will be allocated proportionately from
the Contract Owner's Accumulated Value in the Variable Accounts and the Fixed
Account, except that the Contract Owner may instruct Pacific Mutual otherwise
with regard to an unscheduled partial withdrawal. A full or partial
withdrawal, including a scheduled partial withdrawal, may result in the
deduction of a contingent deferred sales charge. See "Contingent Deferred
Sales Charge".
 
  A full or partial withdrawal, including a scheduled withdrawal, may result
in a premium tax charge to reimburse Pacific Mutual for any premium tax on a
Contract that may be imposed by various states and municipalities. See
"Premium Tax and Other Taxes".
 
  A full or partial withdrawal, including a scheduled partial withdrawal, may
result in receipt of taxable income to the Owner and, in some instances, in a
penalty tax. In the case of Contracts issued in connection with retirement
plans that meet the requirements of Section 401(a), 401(k), 408 or 457 of the
Internal Revenue Code, reference should be made to the terms of the particular
Qualified Plan for any limitations or restrictions on withdrawals. In the case
of Contracts issued in connection with tax qualified retirement plans under
Section 403(b), Section 403(b) imposes restrictions on certain distributions.
For more information, see "Restrictions on Withdrawals from 403(b) Programs".
The tax consequences of a withdrawal under the Contract should be carefully
considered. See "Federal Tax Matters".
 
PREAUTHORIZED SCHEDULED WITHDRAWALS
 
  Pacific Mutual has implemented a feature under which preauthorized scheduled
withdrawals may be elected. Under this feature, a Contract Owner may elect to
receive preauthorized scheduled partial withdrawals while the Annuitant is
living before the Annuity Start Date and after the Free-Look Period by sending
a properly completed Preauthorized Scheduled Withdrawal Request form to
Pacific Mutual. A Contract Owner may designate the scheduled withdrawal amount
as a percentage of Accumulated Value allocated to the Variable Accounts and
Fixed Account, or as a specified dollar amount, and the desired frequency of
the scheduled withdrawals, which may be monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or
annually. The day of the month that the Contract Owner wishes each scheduled
withdrawal to be effected may also be elected. Scheduled withdrawals may be
stopped or
 
                                      20
<PAGE>
 
modified upon proper written request by the Contract Owner received by Pacific
Mutual at least 10 days in advance. A proper request must include the written
consent of any effective assignee or irrevocable Beneficiary, if applicable.
 
  Each scheduled withdrawal must be at least $100. Upon payment, the Contract
Owner's Accumulated Value will be reduced by an amount equal to the payment
proceeds plus any applicable contingent deferred sales charge and any
applicable premium tax. Any scheduled withdrawal that equals or exceeds the
Full Withdrawal Value will be treated as a full withdrawal. In no event will
payment of a scheduled withdrawal exceed the Full Withdrawal Value less any
applicable premium tax. The Contract will automatically terminate if a
scheduled withdrawal causes the Contract's Full Withdrawal Value to equal
zero.
 
  Each scheduled withdrawal will be effected as of the end of the Valuation
Period during which the withdrawal is scheduled. The deduction caused by the
scheduled withdrawal will be allocated proportionately from the Contract
Owner's Accumulated Value in the Variable Accounts and the Fixed Account.
 
FREE-LOOK RIGHT
 
  A Contract Owner may return a Contract within the Free-Look Period, which is
a ten-day period beginning when the Owner receives the Contract unless state
law requires otherwise.
 
  Premiums received during the Free-Look Period will, except as indicated
below, be allocated according to the Owner's instructions contained in the
application or more recent instructions, if any. The returned Contract will
then be deemed void and Pacific Mutual will refund any premium payments
allocated to the Fixed Account and any Variable Account Accumulated Value as
of the end of the Valuation Period in which Pacific Mutual receives the
Contract plus any Contract Charges and Fees deducted from the Owner's
Accumulated Value allocated to the Variable Accounts. Thus, an Owner who
returns a Contract within the Free-Look Period bears only the investment risk,
(i.e., the Owner's Accumulated Value allocated to the Variable Accounts may
increase or decrease based on investment performance), but the Owner will not
be subject to any Contract Charges or Fees which would otherwise be deducted
from Accumulated Value.
   
  If the Contract Owner resides in a state that requires Pacific Mutual to
return premium payments to Owners who exercise the Free-Look Right, Pacific
Mutual will refund any premiums received or, if required by the owner's state
of residence, premiums allocated to the Fixed Account plus the greater of
premiums allocated to the Separate Account or Accumulated Value in the
Separate Account plus any charges and fees deducted from the Variable Accounts
on the contract date. Premiums received during the Free-Look Period will
initially be allocated to the Money Market Variable Account. The Accumulated
Value in the Money Market Variable Account will be transferred automatically
to the Variable Accounts and the Fixed Account elected in the Owner's
application (or, if received more recently, in written instructions) 15 days
after the Contract is issued. In Pennsylvania, Pacific Mutual will refund
premiums allocated to the Fixed Account plus the Accumulated Value in the
Separate Account plus any Charges deducted from the Separate Account on the
Contract Date. Any previous loans or withdrawals may reduce the refund amount
on any Contract returned.     
       
                                      21
<PAGE>
 
DEATH BENEFIT
 
  If the Annuitant dies during the Accumulation Period, Pacific Mutual will
pay the death benefit proceeds to the Beneficiary upon receipt of due proof of
the Annuitant's death and instructions regarding payment to the Beneficiary.
If there are Joint Annuitants, the death benefit proceeds will only be payable
upon receipt of due proof of death of both Annuitants during the Accumulation
Period and instructions regarding payment. If there is no Beneficiary living
on the date of death of the Annuitant, Pacific Mutual will pay the death
benefit proceeds to the Annuitant's estate. If the death of the Annuitant
occurs on or after the Annuity Start Date, no death benefit proceeds will be
payable under the Contract, except that benefits under the Annuity Option
elected may be payable to the Joint Annuitant or the Beneficiary.
 
  The death benefit proceeds will be the death benefit reduced by any
outstanding Contract Debt. On or before the fifth Contract Anniversary, the
amount of the death benefit will be the greater of (1) the Accumulated Value
as of the end of the Valuation Period in which due proof of death and
instructions regarding payment are received by Pacific Mutual, or (2) the
aggregate premium payments received less any reductions caused by previous
withdrawals. Unless otherwise required by state insurance authorities, after
the fifth Contract Anniversary the amount of the death benefit will be the
greater of (1) the Accumulated Value as of the end of the Valuation Period in
which due proof of death and instructions regarding payment are received by
Pacific Mutual, (2) the aggregate premium payments received less any
reductions caused by previous withdrawals, or (3) subject to approval of state
insurance authorities, the "Minimum Guaranteed Death Benefit." After the fifth
Contract Anniversary up to the tenth Contract Anniversary, the Minimum
Guaranteed Death Benefit is equal to the Accumulated Value on the fifth
Contract Anniversary plus any premiums received after the fifth Contract
Anniversary and less any reductions caused by previous withdrawals taken after
the fifth Contract Anniversary. The Minimum Guaranteed Death Benefit is
adjusted on the tenth Contract Anniversary and each succeeding fifth Contract
Anniversary to the greater of the most recent Minimum Guaranteed Death Benefit
or the Accumulated Value as of such Anniversary, and during the next five year
interval, is decreased by any reductions caused by partial withdrawals and
increased by any premium payments since such fifth Contract Anniversary. After
the Contract Year in which the Annuitant reaches Age 85, the Minimum
Guaranteed Death Benefit will no longer be adjusted on each fifth Contract
Anniversary (except for adjustments for reductions caused by partial
withdrawals and for premium payments).
 
  The death benefit proceeds will be paid to the Beneficiary in a single sum
or under one of the Annuity Options, as directed by the Owner or as elected by
the Beneficiary. If the Beneficiary is to receive annuity payments under an
Annuity Option, there may be limits under applicable law on the amount and
duration of payments that the Beneficiary may receive, and requirements
respecting timing of payments. A tax adviser should be consulted in
considering Annuity Options.
 
DEATH OF OWNER
 
  If the Owner of a Contract issued in connection with a Non-Qualified Plan
dies before the Annuitant and before the Annuity Start Date, the death benefit
proceeds will be paid upon receipt of due proof of the Owner's death and
instructions regarding payment. If there are Joint Owners, the term Owner
means the first Joint Owner to die.
 
  Death benefit proceeds will be paid to the Joint Owner or Contingent Owner,
if any, otherwise to the Owner Beneficiary. If there is no Owner Beneficiary,
death benefit proceeds will be paid to the Owner's estate. If an Owner is not
also an Annuitant, then in the event that the deaths of the Owner and the
Annuitant occur under circumstances in which it cannot be determined who died
first, payment will be made to the Annuitant's Beneficiary. If the Owner and
the Annuitant are the same, payment will be made to the Annuitant's
Beneficiary. If the surviving spouse of the deceased Owner is the Owner
Beneficiary, or is the sole surviving joint tenant or Contingent Owner, and if
the deceased Owner was not the sole Annuitant, such spouse may continue this
Contract in force until the earliest of the spouse's death, the death of the
Annuitant, or the Annuity Start Date. For any Designated Beneficiary other
than a surviving spouse, only those options may be chosen that provide for
complete distribution of such Owner's interest in the Contract within five
years of the death of the Owner, or if the Designated Beneficiary is a natural
person, that person can elect to begin receiving annuity payments within one
year of the Owner's death over a period not extending beyond his or her life
expectancy.
 
                                      22
<PAGE>
 
  If the Owner of the Contract is not a natural person, these distribution
rules are applicable upon the death of or a change in the primary Annuitant.
These distribution requirements do not apply to Contracts issued in connection
with Qualified Plans.
 
  The death benefit is as stated in the "Death Benefit" section, except that
the Owner's Age, as opposed to the Annuitant's, is used in determining the
death benefit.
 
  On the death of any Owner after the Annuity Start Date, any guaranteed
payments remaining unpaid will continue to be paid to the Annuitant pursuant
to the Annuity Option in force at the date of death. No death benefit will be
paid if the Owner dies after the Annuity Start Date. On the death of the
Annuitant, any unpaid benefit will be paid to the Beneficiary of the
Annuitant, if living, otherwise to the Annuitant's estate. See "Federal Tax
Matters" for a discussion of the tax consequences in the event of death.
 
                            CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS
 
CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGE
 
  Pacific Mutual does not make any deduction for sales charges from premium
payments paid for a Contract before allocating them to a Contract Owner's
Accumulated Value. However, except as set forth below, a contingent deferred
sales charge (which may also be referred to as a withdrawal charge), may be
assessed by Pacific Mutual on a full or partial withdrawal, depending upon the
amount of time such withdrawal amounts have been held under the Contract. The
withdrawal charge will be waived on withdrawals to the extent that total
withdrawals that are free of charge during the Contract Year do not exceed 10%
of the sum of the premium payments made during the current Contract Year up to
the Valuation Date of the withdrawal and the preceding four Contract Years. If
a full or partial withdrawal, including a scheduled withdrawal, in excess of
the 10% allowable amount is made, a withdrawal charge may be assessed on the
amount withdrawn in excess of the 10% allowable amount. If the Contract is
surrendered or a scheduled withdrawal causes the Full Withdrawal Value to
equal zero, any amount allocated to the Loan Account will be included in
determining the charge.
 
  For purposes of the charge, a withdrawal will be attributed to premium
payments in the order they were received by Pacific Mutual, then earnings,
even if the Contract Owner elects to redeem amounts allocated to an Account
(including the Fixed Account) other than an Account to which premium payments
were allocated. The amount of the charge will depend upon the number of
Contract Years that the premiums to which the withdrawal is attributed have
remained credited under the Contract, as follows:

</TABLE>
 
  For purposes of determining the age of the premium, the premium is
considered age 1 in the Contract Year the premium is received by Pacific
Mutual and increases in age each Contract Anniversary thereafter. In no event
will the amount of any withdrawal charge, when added to any such charge
previously assessed against any amount withdrawn from the Contract, exceed 6%
of the premiums paid under a Contract. In addition, no charge will be imposed
(1) upon payment of death benefit proceeds under the Contract, (2) upon
withdrawals by Owners to meet the minimum distribution rules for Qualified
Plans as they apply to amounts held under the Contract, or (3) upon
annuitization if the Contract has been in force two years, and if an Annuity
Option offered under the Contract is elected or proceeds are applied to
purchase any other Annuity Option then offered by Pacific Mutual, and, in each
instance, the Annuity Period is at least five years. Subject to approval of
state insurance authorities, after the first Contract Anniversary, the
withdrawal charge will also be waived on a full or partial withdrawal if the
Annuitant has been diagnosed with a medically determinable condition which
results in a life expectancy of
 
                                      23
<PAGE>
 
12 months or less. This waiver will be subject to medical evidence
satisfactory to Pacific Mutual, and certain other conditions specified in the
Contract. The withdrawal charge will be assessed against the Variable Accounts
and Fixed Account in the same proportion as the withdrawal proceeds are
allocated. (See the Appendix for examples of the operation of the withdrawal
charge.)
 
  Pacific Mutual pays sales commissions to broker-dealers and other expenses
associated with promotion and sales of the Contracts. The withdrawal charge is
designed to reimburse Pacific Mutual for these costs, although it is expected
that actual expenses will be greater than the amount of the charge. To the
extent that all sales expenses are not recovered from the charge, such
expenses may be recovered from other charges, including amounts derived
indirectly from the charge for mortality and expense risks. Broker-dealers may
receive aggregate commissions up to 6.5% of aggregate premium payments. Under
certain circumstances and in exchange for lower initial commissions, certain
sellers of Contracts may be paid a persistency trail commission which will
take into account, among other things, the length of time premium payments
have been held under a Contract, and Contract Accumulated Values. A trail
commission is not anticipated to exceed 1.00%, on an annual basis, of the
Accumulated Value considered in connection with the trail commission. Pacific
Mutual may also pay override payments, expense allowances, bonuses, wholesaler
fees and training allowances. Registered representatives earn commissions from
the broker-dealers with which they are affiliated and such arrangements may
vary. In addition, registered representatives who meet specified production
levels may qualify, under sales incentive programs adopted by Pacific Mutual,
to receive non-cash compensation such as expense-paid trips, expense-paid
educational seminars, and merchandise.
 
MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE
 
  Pacific Mutual deducts a daily charge from the assets of each Variable
Account for mortality and expense risks assumed by Pacific Mutual under the
Contracts. The charge is equal to an annual rate of 1.25% of the average daily
net assets of each Variable Account. This amount is intended to compensate
Pacific Mutual for certain mortality and expense risks Pacific Mutual assumes
in offering and administering the Contracts and in operating the Variable
Accounts. The 1.25% charge consists of approximately .25% for expense risk and
1.00% for mortality risk.
 
  The expense risk is the risk that Pacific Mutual's actual expenses in
issuing and administering the Contracts and operating the Variable Accounts
will be more than the charges assessed for such expenses. The mortality risk
borne by Pacific Mutual is the risk that Annuitants, as a group, will live
longer than the Pacific Mutual's actuarial tables predict. In this event,
Pacific Mutual guarantees that annuity payments will not be affected by a
change in mortality experience that results in the payment of greater annuity
income than assumed under the Annuity Options in the Contract. Pacific Mutual
also assumes a mortality risk in connection with the death benefit under the
Contract.
 
  Pacific Mutual may ultimately realize a profit from this charge to the
extent it is not needed to cover mortality and administrative expenses, but
Pacific Mutual may realize a loss to the extent the charge is not sufficient.
Pacific Mutual may use any profit derived from this charge for any lawful
purpose, including any distribution expenses not covered by the contingent
deferred sales charge.
 
ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGE
 
  Pacific Mutual deducts a monthly administrative charge equal to .000125
multiplied by a Contract's Accumulated Value in the Variable Accounts and the
Fixed Account, which will be deducted monthly, beginning on the Monthly
Anniversary following the Contract Date, during the Accumulation Period. This
charge is equivalent to an annual rate of 0.15% of a Contract's Accumulated
Value in the Variable Accounts and the Fixed Account. On Contracts issued in
connection with applications received by Pacific Mutual at its Variable
Annuity Department before May 1, 1992, the rate of this charge is currently
reduced to .0001 (.12% on an annual basis), and, if the initial premium is
$50,000 or more on such contracts, to .00005 (.06% on an annual basis).
Pacific Mutual reserves the right to increase the administrative charge on
such contracts, but in no event will the charge exceed 0.15% on an annual
basis. The charge will be assessed to each Account in proportion to the
Contract's
 
                                      24
<PAGE>
 
Accumulated Value in each Variable Account and the Fixed Account. The charge
is deducted at the Contract level and results in the debiting of Accumulation
Units in the Variable Accounts and/or a deduction from the Fixed Account.
 
MAINTENANCE FEE
 
  During the Accumulation Period, an annual fee of $30 is deducted on each
Contract Anniversary to cover the costs of maintaining records for the
Contracts. The fee will be assessed to each Account in proportion to the
Contract's Accumulated Value in each Variable Account and the Fixed Account.
Upon annuitization or a full withdrawal, the charge will be pro-rated for the
portion of the Contract year during which the Contract was in force. This
charge is currently waived on Contracts issued for which premium payments
received in the first Contract Year equal $50,000 or more. Pacific Mutual
reserves the right to impose the charge on Contracts on which the fee is
waived in the future. The charge is deducted at the Contract level and results
in the debiting of Accumulation Units in the Variable Accounts and or a
deduction from the Fixed Account.
 
TRANSFER FEE
 
  No transfer fee is currently imposed. Pacific Mutual reserves the right to
assess a transfer fee of $10 per transaction on the thirteenth and any
subsequent transfer occurring in a Contract year. The transfer fee will be
deducted from the remaining balances in the Variable Accounts and Fixed
Account from which the transfer is made. If the remaining balances are
insufficient to pay the transfer fee, the fee will be deducted from the
transferred Accumulated Values.
 
PREMIUM TAX AND OTHER TAXES
 
  Various states and municipalities impose a tax on premiums on annuity
contracts received by insurance companies. Whether or not a premium tax is
imposed will depend upon, among other things, the Owner's state of residence,
the Annuitant's state of residence, and the insurance tax laws and Pacific
Mutual's status in a particular state. Pacific Mutual assesses a premium tax
charge to reimburse itself for premium taxes that it incurs on behalf of the
Contract Owner. This charge will be deducted upon annuitization or upon full
withdrawal if premium taxes are incurred and are not refundable. Partial
withdrawals, including scheduled withdrawals, may result in a premium tax
charge if a premium tax is incurred by Pacific Mutual and is not refundable.
Pacific Mutual reserves the right to deduct premium taxes when incurred.
Premium tax rates currently range from 0% to 3.5%, but are subject to change
by a governmental entity. Pacific Mutual may charge Variable Accounts of the
Separate Account for the Federal, state, or local income taxes incurred by
Pacific Mutual that are attributable to the Separate Account and its Variable
Accounts, or to the operations of Pacific Mutual with respect to the
Contracts, or that are attributable to payment of premiums or acquisition
costs under the Contracts. No such charge is currently assessed. See "Tax
Status of Pacific Mutual and the Separate Account."
 
VARIATIONS IN CHARGES
 
  Pacific Mutual may reduce or waive the amount of the contingent deferred
sales charge, administrative charge, and Contract maintenance fee for a
Contract where the expenses associated with the sale of the Contract or the
administrative and maintenance costs associated with the Contract are reduced
for reasons such as the amount of the initial premium payment, the amounts of
projected premium payments, or that the Contract is sold in connection with a
group or sponsored arrangement. For certain trusts, Pacific Mutual may change
the order in which withdrawals are applied to premium payments and earnings to
determine any contingent deferred sales charge. Pacific Mutual may also reduce
or waive the contingent deferred sales charge, administrative charge, and
maintenance fee or credit additional amounts on Contracts sold to the
directors, officers, or employees of Pacific Mutual or any of its affiliates
or to trustees of the Fund, sales representatives, or in the case of an
affiliated broker-dealer, registered representatives of such company, or
directors, officers, employees or registered representatives of a broker-
dealer that has a then current selling agreement with Pacific Mutual, or
members of any of the aforementioneds' immediate family. Pacific Mutual will
only reduce or waive such charges and fees where expenses associated with the
sale of the Contract or the costs associated with administering and
maintaining the Contract are reduced.
 
                                      25
<PAGE>
 
GUARANTEE OF CERTAIN CHARGES
 
  Pacific Mutual guarantees that the charge for mortality and expense risks
will not increase. The maintenance fee is guaranteed not to exceed $30. The
administrative charge is guaranteed not to exceed an annual rate of 0.15% of a
Contract Owner's Accumulated Value less any Contract Debt. Pacific Mutual does
not intend to profit from the administrative charge and maintenance fee.
 
FUND EXPENSES
 
  Each Variable Account of the Separate Account purchases shares at the net
asset value of the corresponding Portfolio of the Fund. Each Portfolio's net
asset value reflects the investment advisory fee and other expenses that are
deducted from the assets of the Portfolio. The Fund is governed by its Board
of Trustees. The Fund's expenses are not fixed or specified under the terms of
the Contract. The advisory fees and other expenses are more fully described in
the Fund's prospectus.
 
                                ANNUITY PERIOD
 
GENERAL
 
  The Contract Owner selects the Annuity Start Date at the time of
application. The Annuity Start Date may not be deferred beyond the first day
of the month following the Annuitant's 95th birthday (85th birthday in
Pennsylvania, and for certain trusts, 100th birthday, unless state law
requires otherwise), although the terms of a Qualified Plan generally require
annuitization at an earlier age. If the Contract Owner does not select an
Annuity Start Date, the Annuity Start Date will be the Contract Anniversary
nearest the Annuitant's 85th birthday if the Contract is issued in connection
with a Non-Qualified Plan. See "Selection of an Option." If there are Joint
Annuitants, the birth date of the younger Annuitant will be used to determine
the latest Annuity Start Date unless the terms of a Qualified Plan require
otherwise.
 
  On the Annuity Start Date, the proceeds under the Contract will be applied
to provide an annuity under one of the options described below, unless a lump
sum distribution has been elected. The proceeds attributable to the Variable
Accounts will be transferred to the General Account. The proceeds will be
equal to the Contract Owner's Accumulated Value in the Variable Accounts and
the Fixed Account (which excludes Accumulated Value in the Loan Account) as of
the Annuity Start Date, reduced by any applicable premium taxes, any prorated
portion of maintenance fee due, and any applicable withdrawal charge. However,
no withdrawal charge will be imposed if the Contract has been in force two
years, and an Annuity Option is elected or proceeds are applied to purchase
any other Annuity Option then offered by Pacific Mutual, and, in each case,
the Annuity Period is five years or longer.
 
  The Contracts provide for five optional annuity forms. A lump sum
distribution may also be elected. Other Annuity Options may be available upon
request at the discretion of Pacific Mutual. All Annuity Options are fixed and
the annuity payments remain constant throughout the Annuity Period. Annuity
payments are based upon annuity rates that vary with the Annuity Option
selected. In the case of Options 1, 2, and 3, the rates will vary based on the
Age and sex of the Annuitant, except that unisex rates are available where
required by law. In the case of Options 4 and 5, as described below, Age and
sex are not considerations. The annuity rates are based upon an assumed
interest rate of 4%, compounded annually. If no Annuity Option has been
selected, annuity payments will be made to the Annuitant under an automatic
option. For non-qualified Contracts and Contracts used in connection with a
Qualified Plan under Section 408 of the Internal Revenue Code, the automatic
option shall be an annuity payable during the lifetime of the Annuitant with
payments certain for 120 months under Option 1 or, if a non-qualified Contract
and Joint Annuitants are named, a joint and 50% last survivor annuity under
Option 3. For a Contract used in connection with a Qualified Plan under
Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code, the automatic option shall be an
annuity payable during the lifetime of the Annuitant with payments certain for
120 months under Option 1, or, for a married Annuitant, a joint and 50%
survivor annuity as described in Option 2 below.
 
  Annuity payments can be made on a monthly, quarterly, semiannual, or annual
basis, although no payments will be made for less than $50. If the frequency
of payments selected would result in payments of less than $50,
 
                                      26
<PAGE>
 
Pacific Mutual reserves the right to change the frequency. Pacific Mutual also
reserves the right to pay the Contract proceeds in a lump sum if the proceeds
are less than $10,000. Once annuity payments have commenced, an Annuitant or
Owner cannot change the Annuity Option and cannot surrender his or her annuity
and receive a lump sum settlement in lieu thereof.
 
  An Owner may, during the lifetime of the Annuitant, designate or change an
Annuity Start Date, Annuity Option, and Contingent Annuitant, provided Pacific
Mutual receives proper written notice at least 30 days prior to the Annuity
Start Date set forth in the Contract. The date selected as the new Annuity
Start Date must be after the date the written notice is received at Pacific
Mutual.
 
  The Contract contains annuity tables for each Annuity Option described
below. The tables show the dollar amount of periodic annuity payments for each
$1,000 applied to an Annuity Option. Pacific Mutual reserves the right to
offer variable annuity options in the future.
 
ANNUITY OPTIONS
 
 Option 1--Life Income with Guaranteed Payment of 10 or 20 Years
 
  Periodic annuity payments will be made during the lifetime of the Annuitant
with the promise that if, at the death of the Annuitant, payments have been
made for less than a stated period, which may be ten or twenty years, as
elected, annuity payments will be continued during the remainder of such
period to the Beneficiary.
 
 Option 2--Joint and Survivor
 
  Periodic annuity payments will be made during the lifetime of the primary
Annuitant and, after the death of the primary Annuitant, an amount equal to
50%, 66 2/3%, or 100% (as specified in the election) of such payments will be
paid to the secondary Annuitant named in the election if and so long as such
secondary Annuitant lives. THERE IS NO MINIMUM NUMBER OF PAYMENTS GUARANTEED
UNDER THIS OPTION. PAYMENTS CEASE UPON THE DEATH OF THE LAST SURVIVING
ANNUITANT, REGARDLESS OF THE NUMBER OF PAYMENTS RECEIVED.
 
 Option 3--Joint and Last Survivor
 
  Periodic annuity payments will be made while both the Annuitants are living,
and, after the death of either of the Annuitants, an amount equal to 50%, 66
2/3%, or 100% (as specified in the election) of such payments will be paid to
the surviving Annuitant for so long as he or she lives. AS IN THE CASE OF
OPTION 2, THERE IS NO MINIMUM NUMBER OF PAYMENTS GUARANTEED UNDER THIS OPTION.
PAYMENTS CEASE UPON THE DEATH OF THE LAST SURVIVING ANNUITANT, REGARDLESS OF
THE NUMBER OF PAYMENTS RECEIVED.
 
 Option 4--Fixed Payments for Specified Period
 
  Periodic annuity payments will be made for a fixed period, which may be from
three to thirty years, as elected, with the guarantee that, if, at the death
of the Annuitant, payments have been made for less than the selected fixed
period, the discounted value, based on the interest rate that Pacific Mutual
uses to determine the amount of each payment (which will be at least 4%), of
the remaining unpaid payments will be paid to the Beneficiary, if living,
otherwise to the Annuitant's estate.
 
 Option 5--Fixed Payments of a Specified Amount
 
  Periodic payments of the amount elected will be made until the amount
applied and interest thereon are exhausted, with the guarantee that, if, at
the death of the Annuitant, all guaranteed payments have not yet been made,
the discounted value, based on the interest rate that Pacific Mutual uses to
determine the amount of each payment (which will be at least 4%), of the
remaining unpaid payments will be paid to the Beneficiary, if living,
otherwise to the Annuitant's estate.
 
                                      27
<PAGE>
 
SELECTION OF AN OPTION
 
  Contract Owners should carefully review the Annuity Options with their
financial or tax advisers, and, for Contracts used in connection with a
Qualified Plan, reference should be made to the terms of the particular plan
and the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code for pertinent limitations
respecting annuity payments and other matters. For instance, under
requirements for retirement plans that qualify under Sections 401 or 408 of
the Internal Revenue Code, annuity payments generally must begin no later than
April 1 of the calendar year following the year in which the Annuitant reaches
age 70 1/2. For Non-Qualified Plans, annuity payments must begin no later than
the first day of the month following the Annuitant's 95th birthday. Under
requirements for retirement plans that qualify under Sections 401 or 408 of
the Internal Revenue Code, the period elected for receipt of annuity payments
under Annuity Options 1 and 4 generally may be no longer than the joint life
expectancy of the Annuitant and Beneficiary in the year that the Annuitant
reaches age 70 1/2, and must be shorter than such joint life expectancy if the
Beneficiary is not the Annuitant's spouse and is more than 10 years younger
than the Annuitant. Under Options 2 and 3, if the secondary or other Annuitant
is not the Annuitant's spouse and is more than 10 years younger than the
Annuitant, the 66 2/3% and 100% elections specified above may not be
available. The restrictions on options for retirement plans that qualify under
Sections 401 and 408 also apply to a retirement plan that qualifies under
Section 403(b) with respect to amounts that accrued after December 31, 1986.
 
                               THE FIXED ACCOUNT
 
  Contract Owners may allocate all or a portion of their premium payments and
transfer Accumulated Value to the Fixed Account. Amounts allocated to the
Fixed Account become part of Pacific Mutual's General Account, which supports
Pacific Mutual's insurance and annuity obligations. The General Account is
subject to regulation and supervision by the California Department of
Insurance as well as the insurance laws and regulations of other jurisdictions
in which the Contract is distributed. In reliance on certain exemptive and
exclusionary provisions, interests in the Fixed Account have not been
registered as securities under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "1933 Act") and
the Fixed Account has not been registered as an investment company under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"). Accordingly, neither the
Fixed Account nor any interests therein are generally subject to the
provisions of the 1933 Act or the 1940 Act. Pacific Mutual has been advised
that the staff of the SEC has not reviewed the disclosure in this Prospectus
relating to the Fixed Account. This disclosure, however, may be subject to
certain generally applicable provisions of the Federal securities laws
relating to the accuracy and completeness of statements made in the
Prospectus. This Prospectus is generally intended to serve as a disclosure
document only for aspects of a Contract involving the Separate Account and
contains only selected information regarding the Fixed Account. For more
information regarding the Fixed Account, see "The Contract".
 
  Amounts allocated to the Fixed Account become part of the General Account of
Pacific Mutual, which consists of all assets owned by Pacific Mutual other
than those in the Separate Account and other separate accounts of Pacific
Mutual. Subject to applicable law, Pacific Mutual has sole discretion over the
investment of the assets of its General Account.
 
INTEREST
 
  Amounts allocated to the Fixed Account earn interest at a fixed rate or
rates that are paid by Pacific Mutual. The Accumulated Value in the Fixed
Account earns interest at an interest rate that is guaranteed to be at least
0.3273% per month, compounded monthly, which is equivalent to an annual
effective rate of 4% per year, and which will accrue daily ("Guaranteed
Rate"). Such interest will be paid regardless of the actual investment
experience of the Fixed Account. In addition, Pacific Mutual may in its
discretion pay interest at a rate ("Current Rate") that exceeds the Guaranteed
Rate. Pacific Mutual will determine the Current Rate, if any, from time to
time. If Pacific Mutual determines a Current Rate that exceeds the Guaranteed
Rate, premiums or transfers allocated or made to the Fixed Account during the
time the Current Rate is in effect are guaranteed to earn interest at that
particular Current Rate until the next Contract Anniversary. Upon the Contract
Anniversary, a Current Rate or Rates may be paid that would remain in effect
until the next succeeding Contract Anniversary.
 
                                      28
<PAGE>
 
  Accumulated Value that was allocated or transferred to the Fixed Account
during one Contract Year may be credited with a different Current Rate than
amounts allocated or transferred to the Fixed Account in another Contract
Year. Therefore, at any given time, various portions of a Contract Owner's
Accumulated Value allocated to the Fixed Account may be earning interest at
different Current Rates, depending upon the Contract Year during which such
portions were originally allocated or transferred to the Fixed Account.
Pacific Mutual bears the investment risk for the Accumulated Value allocated
to the Fixed Account and for paying interest at the Guaranteed or Current
Rates, as applicable, on amounts allocated to the Fixed Account.
 
  For purposes of determining the interest rates to be credited on remaining
Accumulated Value in the Fixed Account, withdrawals, loans, or transfers from
the Fixed Account will be deemed to be taken from premiums or transfers in the
order in which they were credited to the Fixed Account, and interest
attributable to each such premium or transfer shall be deemed taken before the
amount of each premium or transfer.
 
BAIL OUT PROVISION
 
  The first time that the interest rate paid on any portion of a Contract
Owner's Accumulated Value allocated to the Fixed Account falls 1% or more
below the initial Current Rate credited to the premium or transfer from which
that portion of Accumulated Value is derived, the limitations on transfers
from the Fixed Account to the Variable Accounts will be waived for 60 days
with respect to that portion of Accumulated Value in the Fixed Account.
 
DEATH BENEFIT
 
  The death benefit under the Contract will be determined in the same fashion
for a Contract that has Accumulated Value in the Fixed Account as for a
Contract that has Accumulated Value allocated to the Variable Accounts. See
"Death Benefit".
 
CONTRACT CHARGES
 
  The contingent deferred sales charge, the administrative charge, the
maintenance fee, and premium taxes will be the same for Contract Owners who
allocate premium payments or transfer Accumulated Value to the Fixed Account
as for those who allocate premium payments to the Variable Accounts. The
charge for mortality and expense risks will not be assessed against the Fixed
Account, and any amounts that Pacific Mutual pays for income taxes allocable
to the Variable Accounts will not be charged against the Fixed Account. In
addition, the investment advisory fees and operating expenses paid by the Fund
will not be paid directly or indirectly by Contract Owners to the extent the
Accumulated Value is allocated to the Fixed Account; however, such Contract
Owners will not participate in the investment experience of the Variable
Accounts.
 
TRANSFERS AND WITHDRAWALS
   
  Amounts may be transferred from the Variable Accounts to the Fixed Account
and from the Fixed Account to the Variable Accounts after the Free-Look
Period, subject to the following limitations. The Contract Owner may not make
more than one transfer from the Fixed Account to the Variable Accounts in any
12-month period except as provided under the Dollar Cost Averaging Option. The
Growth Variable Account is not available to Owners of Contracts issued on or
after January 1, 1994. Further, if a Contract Owner has $1,000 or more in the
Fixed Account, the Contract Owner may not transfer more than 20% of such
amount to the Variable Accounts in any 12-month period except as provided
under Dollar Cost Averaging. Currently there is no charge imposed upon
transfers; however, Pacific Mutual reserves the right to assess a $10 transfer
fee in the future on the thirteenth and any subsequent transfer made during a
Contract Year and to impose other limitations on the number of transfers, the
amount of transfers, and the amount remaining in the Fixed Account or Variable
Accounts after a transfer. See "Transfer of Accumulated Value".     
 
  The Contract Owner may also make full and partial withdrawals to the same
extent as a Contract Owner who has allocated Accumulated Value to the Variable
Accounts. See "Full and Partial Withdrawals". In
 
                                      29
<PAGE>
 
addition, to the same extent as Contract Owners with Accumulated Value in the
Variable Accounts, the Owner of a Contract used in connection with a Qualified
Plan under Section 401 and 403(b) of the Internal Revenue Code may obtain a
loan. See "Loans".
 
PAYMENTS FROM THE FIXED ACCOUNT
 
  Full and partial withdrawals, loans, and transfers from the Fixed Account
may be delayed for up to six months after a written request in proper form is
received by Pacific Mutual. During the period of deferral, interest at the
applicable interest rate or rates will continue to be credited to the amounts
allocated to the Fixed Account. However, payment of any amounts will not be
deferred if they are to be used to pay premiums on any policies or contracts
issued by Pacific Mutual.
 
                            MORE ABOUT THE CONTRACT
 
OWNERSHIP
 
  The Contract Owner is the individual named as such in the application or in
any later change shown in Pacific Mutual's records. While the Annuitant is
living, the Contract Owner alone has the right to receive all benefits and
exercise all rights that the Contract grants or Pacific Mutual allows.
 
  Joint Owners. Joint Owners are permitted only for Contracts issued in
connection with Non-Qualified Plans. The Joint Owners will be joint tenants
with rights of survivorship and upon the death of an Owner, the surviving
Owner shall be the sole Owner. Any Contract transaction requires the signature
of all persons named jointly.
 
  Contingent Owner. A Contingent Owner, if named in the application, succeeds
to the rights of Owner if the Owner dies before the Annuitant during the
Accumulation Period.
 
DESIGNATION AND CHANGE OF BENEFICIARY
 
  The Beneficiary is the individual named as such in the application or any
later change shown in Pacific Mutual's records. The Contract Owner may change
the Beneficiary at any time during the life of the Annuitant while the
Contract is in force by written request to Pacific Mutual. The change will not
be binding on Pacific Mutual until it is received and recorded. The change
will be effective as of the date the notice is properly signed subject to any
payments made or other actions taken by Pacific Mutual before the properly
signed notice is received and recorded. A Contingent Beneficiary may be
designated. The Owner may designate a permanent Beneficiary whose rights under
the Contract cannot be changed without his or her consent.
 
  Reference should be made to the terms of a particular Qualified Plan and any
applicable law for any restrictions on the beneficiary designation.
 
PAYMENTS FROM THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
 
  Pacific Mutual ordinarily will pay any full or partial withdrawal benefit or
death benefit proceeds from Accumulated Value allocated to the Variable
Accounts, and will effect a transfer between Variable Accounts or from a
Variable Account to the Fixed Account within seven days from the Valuation
Date on which a proper request is received at Pacific Mutual or, if sooner,
other period required by law. However, Pacific Mutual can postpone the
calculation or payment of such a payment or transfer of amounts from the
Variable Accounts to the extent permitted under applicable law, which is
currently permissible only for any period: (a) during which the New York Stock
Exchange is closed other than customary weekend and holiday closings, (b)
during which trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted as
determined by the SEC, (c) during which an emergency, as determined by the
SEC, exists as a result of which (i) disposal of securities held by the
Separate Account is not reasonably practicable, or (ii) it is not reasonably
practicable to determine the value of the assets of the Separate Account, or
(d) for such other periods as the SEC may by order permit for the protection
of investors.

PROOF OF AGE AND SURVIVAL
 
  Pacific Mutual may require proof of age or survival of any person on whose
life annuity payments depend.
 
LOANS
   
  An Owner of a Contract issued in connection with a retirement plan that is
qualified under Section 401 or 403(b) of the Internal Revenue Code (but not
Section 408) may request a loan, provided that loans are permitted by the
Participant's Plan, from Pacific Mutual using his or her Accumulated Value as
the only security for the loan by submitting a proper written request to
Pacific Mutual. No other Contract Owners may borrow against the Contract. A
loan may be taken by eligible Contract Owners after the first Contract Year
while the Annuitant is living and before the Annuity Start Date. The minimum
loan that can be taken at any time is $1,000. For Contracts with Accumulated
Value of $20,000 or less, the maximum loan that can be taken is the amount
that produces a loan balance immediately after the loan that is 50% of the
Contract Owner's Accumulated Value. For Contracts with Accumulated Value over
$20,000, the maximum loan that can be taken is the amount that produces a loan
balance immediately after the loan that is the lesser of (1) $50,000 reduced
by the excess of (a) the highest outstanding loan balance within the preceding
12 month period ending on the date the loan is made over (b) the outstanding
loan balance on the date the loan is made or (2) 50% of the Contract Owner's
Accumulated Value. Reference should be made to the terms of the particular
Qualified Plan for any additional loan restrictions.     
   
  When an eligible Contract Owner takes a loan, an amount equal to the loan is
transferred out of the Contract Owner's Accumulated Value in the Variable
Accounts and the Fixed Account into an account called the "Loan Account" to
secure the loan. Unless otherwise requested by the Contract Owner, loan
amounts will be deducted from the Variable Accounts and the Fixed Account in
the proportion that each bears to the Accumulated Value less Contract Debt.
Subject to any necessary approval of state insurance authorities, any payment
received by Pacific Mutual while a loan is outstanding will be considered a
premium payment unless the Contract Owner indicates that it is a loan
repayment.     
   
  Interest will be charged for the loan and will accrue on the loan balance
from the effective date of any loan. Subject to state insurance authorities,
the loan interest rate will be set at the time loan is made and will be equal
to the higher of Moody's Corporate Bond Yield Average-Monthly Average
Corporates, as published by Moody's Investors Service, Inc., or its successor,
for the most recently available calendar month, or 5%. The loan interest rate
charged on any outstanding loan balance will be determined at the time the
loan is taken.     
 
  In the event that the Moody's Corporate Bond Yield Average-Monthly Average
Corporates is no longer published, Pacific Mutual will use a substantially
similar average as established by regulation within the state in which the
Contract is delivered. Pacific Mutual will credit interest monthly on amounts
held in the Loan Account to secure the loan at a rate equal to the loan
interest rate charged minus 1.75%. Interest on a loan is accrued daily.
   
  Loans must be repaid within five years (30 years if the Owner certifies to
Pacific Mutual that the loan is to be used to acquire a principal residence
for the Annuitant) and before the Annuity Start Date. Loan repayments must be
made quarterly. Loans not repaid within the required time periods will be
subject to taxation as     
 
                                      31
<PAGE>
 
   
distributions from the Contract. Loans may be prepaid at any time before the
Annuity Start Date. Subject to any necessary approval of state insurance
authorities, repayments of loan principal plus accrued interest will be due
quarterly on the date corresponding to your quarterly loan anniversary,
beginning with the first such date following the effective date of the loan.
       
  If the repayment is not made when due, interest will continue to accrue and
we will declare the entire remaining loan balance in default. At that time, we
will send written notification of the amount needed to bring the loan back to
a current status. The Contract Owner will have sixty (60) days from the date
on which the loan was declared in default (the "grace period") to make the
required payment. If the required payment is not received by the end of the
grace period, the defaulted loan balance plus accrued interest will be
withdrawn from the Contract Value, if amounts under the Contract are eligible
for distribution. If those amounts are not eligible for distribution, the
defaulted loan balance plus accrued interest will be withdrawn when such
values become eligible (a "Deemed Distribution"). In either case, the
Distribution or the Deemed Distribution will be considered a currently taxable
event, will be subject to the mandatory 20% federal withholding and may be
subject to the early withdrawal tax penalty.     
   
  If there is a Deemed Distribution under your Contract and to the extent
allowed by law, any future withdrawals will first be applied as repayment of
the defaulted Contract Debt, including accrued interest.     
   
  Any amounts withdrawn and applied as repayment of loan principle will be
withdrawn from the Loan Account. Any amounts withdrawn and applied as
repayment of interest due will be withdrawn from your Fixed and Variable
Accounts on a proportionate basis relative to the Accumulated Value in each
account.     
   
  Adverse tax consequences may result if you fail to meet the repayments
requirements for your loan. The tax and ERISA rules relating to Contract loans
are complex and in many cases unclear. For these reasons, and because the
rules vary depending on the individual circumstances of each Contract, WE
ADVISE THAT THE CONTRACT OWNER CONSULT WITH A QUALIFIED TAX ADVISER BEFORE
EXERCISING THE LOAN PROVISIONS OF THE CONTRACT.     
   
  If a repayment in excess of the quarterly amount due is received by Pacific
Mutual, we reserve the right to refund such excess unless the loan is paid in
full. Payments received by Pacific Mutual which are less than the quarterly
amount due will be returned to the Contract Owner, unless otherwise approved
by state insurance authorities.     
 
  Prepayment of the entire outstanding Contract Debt may be made. At the time
of the prepayment, the Contract Owner will be billed for any interest due and
unpaid. The loan will be considered paid when the interest due is also paid.
 
  Unless otherwise requested by a Contract Owner, a loan repayment will be
transferred into the Variable Accounts and Fixed Account in accordance with
the most recent premium allocation instructions. In addition, on each Contract
Anniversary, any interest earned on the loan balance held in the Loan Account
will be transferred to each of the Variable Accounts and Fixed Account in
accordance with the Contract Owner's most recent premium allocation
instructions.
 
  While the amount to secure the loan is held in the Loan Account, the
Contract Owner forgoes the investment experience of the Variable Accounts and
the Current Rate of interest of the Fixed Account on the loaned amount.
Outstanding Contract Debt will reduce the amount of proceeds paid upon full
withdrawal of the Contract proceeds, upon payment of the death benefit or upon
the Owner's exercise of the Free-Look Right.
          
  Pacific Mutual reserves the right to change the loan provisions of the
Contract to comply with the Internal Revenue Code and the rules and
regulations thereunder.     
 
RESTRICTION ON WITHDRAWALS FROM 403(B) PROGRAMS
 
  Section 403(b) of the Internal Revenue Code permits public school employees
and employees of certain types of charitable, educational, and scientific
organizations specified in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code to
purchase annuity contracts, and, subject to certain limitations, to exclude
the amount of
 
                                      32
<PAGE>
 
purchase payments from gross income for tax purposes. Section 403(b) imposes
restrictions on certain distributions from tax-sheltered annuity contracts
meeting the requirements of Section 403(b) that apply to tax years beginning
on or after January 1, 1989.
 
  Section 403(b) requires that distributions from Section 403(b) tax-sheltered
annuities that are attributable to employee contributions made after December
31, 1988 under a salary reduction agreement begin only after the employee
reaches age 59 1/2, separates from service, dies, becomes disabled, or incurs
a hardship. Furthermore, distributions of gains attributable to such
contributions accrued after December 31, 1988 may not be made on account of
hardship. Hardship, for this purpose, is generally defined as an immediate and
heavy financial need, such as paying for medical expenses, the purchase of a
residence, or paying certain tuition expenses, that may only be met by the
distribution.
 
  An Owner of a Contract purchased as a tax-sheltered Section 403(b) annuity
contract will not, therefore, be entitled to make a full or partial
withdrawal, as described in this Prospectus, in order to receive proceeds from
the Contract attributable to contributions under a salary reduction agreement
or any gains credited to such Contract after December 31, 1988 unless one of
the above-described conditions has been satisfied. In the case of transfers of
amounts accumulated in a different Section 403(b) contract to this Contract
under a Section 403(b) Program, the withdrawal constraints described above
would not apply to the amount transferred to the Contract attributable to the
Owner's December 31, 1988 account balance under the old contract, provided the
amounts transferred between contracts qualified as a tax-free exchange under
the Internal Revenue Code. An Owner of a Contract may be able to transfer the
Contract's Full Withdrawal Value to certain other investment alternatives
meeting the requirements of Section 403(b) that are available under an
Employer's Section 403(b) arrangement.
 
  Pursuant to Revenue Ruling 90-24, a direct transfer between issuers of an
amount representing all or part of an individual's interest in a Section
403(b) annuity or custodial account is not a distribution subject to tax or to
premature distribution penalty, provided the funds transferred continue after
the transfer to be subject to distribution requirements at least as strict as
those applicable to them before the transfer.
 
RESTRICTIONS UNDER THE TEXAS OPTIONAL RETIREMENT PROGRAM
 
  Title 8, Section 830.105 of the Texas Government Code restricts withdrawal
of contributions and earnings in a variable annuity contract in the Texas
Optional Retirement Program (ORP) prior to (1) termination of employment in
all Texas public institutions of higher education, (2) retirement, (3) death,
or (4) the participant's attainment of age 70 1/2. A participant in the Texas
ORP will not, therefore, be entitled to make full or partial withdrawals under
a Contract unless one of the foregoing conditions has been satisfied.
Appropriate certification must be submitted to redeem the participant's
account. Restrictions on withdrawal do not apply to transfers of values from
one annuity contract to another during participation in the Texas ORP. Loans
are not available in the Texas ORP.
 
                              FEDERAL TAX MATTERS
 
INTRODUCTION
 
  The Contract described in this Prospectus is designed for use by individuals
in retirement plans which may or may not be Qualified Plans under the
provisions of the Internal Revenue Code ("Code"). The ultimate effect of
Federal income taxes on the amounts held under a Contract, on annuity
payments, and on the economic benefits to the Owner, the Annuitant, and the
Beneficiary or other payee may depend on Pacific Mutual's tax status, on the
type of retirement plan, if any, for which the Contract is purchased, and upon
the tax and employment status of the individuals concerned. The discussion
contained herein and in the Statement of Additional Information is general in
nature. It is based upon Pacific Mutual's understanding of the present Federal
income tax laws as currently interpreted by the Internal Revenue Service
("IRS"), and is not intended as tax advice. No representation is made
regarding the likelihood of continuation of the present Federal income tax
laws or of the current interpretations by the IRS or the courts. Future
legislation may affect annuity contracts adversely. Moreover, no attempt has
been made to consider any applicable state or other laws. 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 and, if
applicable, the Qualified Plan, any person contemplating the purchase of a
Contract, contemplating selection of an Annuity Option under a Contract, or
receiving annuity payments under a Contract should consult a qualified tax
adviser. PACIFIC MUTUAL DOES NOT MAKE ANY GUARANTEE REGARDING THE TAX STATUS,
FEDERAL, STATE, OR LOCAL, OF ANY CONTRACT OR ANY TRANSACTION INVOLVING THE
CONTRACTS.
 
                                      33
<PAGE>
 
TAX STATUS OF PACIFIC MUTUAL AND THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
 
 General
 
  Pacific Mutual is taxed as a life insurance company under Part I, Subchapter
L of the Code. Because the Separate Account is not taxed as a separate entity
and its operations form a part of Pacific Mutual, Pacific Mutual will be
responsible for any Federal income taxes that become payable with respect to
the income of the Separate Account. However, each Variable Account will bear
its allocable share of such liabilities. Under current law, no item of
dividend income, interest income, or realized capital gain of the Variable
Accounts will be taxed to Pacific Mutual to the extent it is applied to
increase reserves under the Contracts.
 
  Under the principles set forth in IRS Revenue Ruling 81-225 and Section
817(h) of the Code and regulations thereunder, Pacific Mutual believes that
Pacific Mutual will be treated as the owner of the assets in the Separate
Account for Federal income tax purposes.
 
  The Separate Account will invest its assets in a mutual fund that is
intended to qualify as a regulated investment company under Part I, Subchapter
M of the Code. If the requirements of the Code are met, the Fund will not be
taxed on amounts distributed on a timely basis to the Separate Account.
 
 Diversification Standards
 
  Each Portfolio of the Fund will be required to adhere to regulations adopted
by the Treasury Department pursuant to Section 817(h) of the Code prescribing
asset diversification requirements for investment companies whose shares are
sold to insurance company separate accounts funding variable contracts. 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
contract 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 Contract Owner], rather than the insurance
company, to be treated as the owner of the assets in the account." This
announcement also stated that guidance would be issued by way of regulations
or rulings on the "extent to which policyholders may direct their investments
to particular subaccounts without being treated as owners of the underlying
assets." As of the date of this prospectus, no such guidance has been issued.
 
  The ownership rights under the Contract 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, the Contract Owner has additional flexibility in allocating premium
payments and Contract Values. These differences could result in a Contract
Owner being treated as the owner of the Contract's pro rata portion of the
assets of the Separate Account. In addition, Pacific Mutual does not know what
standards will be set forth, if any, in the regulations or rulings which the
Treasury Department has stated it expects to issue. Pacific Mutual therefore
reserves the right to modify the Contract, as deemed appropriate by Pacific
Mutual, to attempt to prevent a Contract Owner from being considered the owner
of the Contract'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 Portfolio 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.
 
TAXATION OF ANNUITIES IN GENERAL--NON-QUALIFIED PLANS
 
  Section 72 of the Code governs taxation of annuities. In general, a contract
owner is not taxed on increases in value under an annuity contract until some
form of distribution is made under the contract. However, the increase in
value may be subject to tax currently under certain circumstances. See
"Contracts Owned by Non-Natural Persons" on page 36 and "Diversification
Standards" above.
 
                                      34
<PAGE>
 
  1. Surrenders or Withdrawals Prior to the Annuity Start Date
 
  Code Section 72 provides that amounts received upon a total or partial
surrender or withdrawal from a contract prior to the annuity start date
generally will be treated as gross income to the extent that the cash value of
the contract (determined without regard to any surrender charge in the case of
a partial withdrawal) exceeds the "investment in the contract." The
"investment in the contract" is that portion, if any, of premiums paid under a
contract less any distributions received previously under the contract that
are excluded from the recipient's gross income. The taxable portion is taxed
at ordinary income tax rates. For purposes of this rule, a pledge or
assignment of a contract is treated as a payment received on account of a
partial withdrawal of a contract. Similarly, loans under a contract generally
are treated as distributions under the contract. These rules do not apply to
amounts received under Qualified Plans pursuant to Section 401 of the Code.
 
  2. Surrenders or Withdrawals on or after the Annuity Start Date
 
  Upon receipt of a lump sum payment or an annuity payment under an annuity
contract, the receipt is taxed if the cash value of the contract exceeds the
investment in the contract. Ordinarily, the taxable portion of such payments
will be taxed at ordinary income tax rates.
 
  For fixed annuity payments, the taxable portion of each payment is
determined by using a formula known as the "exclusion ratio," which
establishes the ratio that the investment in the contract bears to the total
expected amount of annuity payments for the term of the contract. That ratio
is then applied to each payment to determine the non-taxable portion of the
payment. That remaining portion of each payment is taxed at ordinary income
rates. Once the excludable portion of annuity payments to date equals the
investment in the contract, the balance of the annuity payments will be fully
taxable.
 
  Withholding of Federal income taxes on all distributions may be required
unless a recipient who is eligible elects not to have any amounts withheld and
properly notifies Pacific Mutual of that election.
 
  3. Penalty Tax on Certain Surrenders and Withdrawals
 
  With respect to amounts withdrawn or distributed before the taxpayer reaches
age 59 1/2, a penalty tax is imposed equal to 10% of the portion of such
amount which is includable in gross income. However, the penalty tax is not
applicable to withdrawals: (i) made on or after the death of the owner (or
where the owner is not an individual, the death of the "primary annuitant,"
who is defined as the individual the events in whose life are of primary
importance in affecting the timing and amount of the payout under the
contract); (ii) attributable to the taxpayer's becoming totally disabled
within the meaning of Code Section 72(m)(7); (iii) which are 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 beneficiary; (iv) from
certain qualified plans; (v) under a so-called qualified funding asset (as
defined in Code Section 130(d)); (vi) under an immediate annuity contract, or
(vii) which are purchased by an employer on termination of certain types of
qualified plans and which are held by the employer until the employee
separates from service.
 
  If the penalty tax does not apply to a surrender or withdrawal as a result
of the application of item (iii) above, and the series of payments are
subsequently modified (other than by reason of death or disability), the tax
for the first year in which the modification occurs will be increased by an
amount (determined by the regulations) equal to the tax that would have been
imposed but for item (iii) above, plus interest for the deferral period, if
the modification takes place (a) before the close of the period which is five
years from the date of the first payment and after the taxpayer attains age 59
1/2, or (b) before the taxpayer reaches age 59 1/2.
 
ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS
 
  1. Distribution-at-Death Rules
 
  In order to be treated as an annuity contract, a contract issued on or after
January 19, 1985 must provide the following two distribution rules: (a) if the
owner dies on or after the annuity start date, and before the entire interest
in the contract has been distributed, the remainder of his interest will be
distributed at least as quickly as
 
                                      35
<PAGE>
 
the method in effect on the owner's death; and (b) if the owner dies before
the annuity start date, the entire interest in the contract must generally be
distributed within five years after the date of death, or, if payable to a
designated beneficiary, must be annuitized over the life of that designated
beneficiary or over a period not extending beyond the life expectancy of that
beneficiary, commencing within one year after the date of death of the owner.
If the designated beneficiary is the spouse of the owner, the contract
(together with the deferral of tax on the accrued and future income
thereunder) may be continued in the name of the spouse as owner. Designation
of a beneficiary who is either 37 1/2 years younger than the contract owner or
a grandchild of the contract owner may have Generation Skipping Transfer Tax
consequences under Section 2601 of the Code.
 
  For purposes of determining how generally distributions must begin under the
foregoing rules, where the owner is not an individual, the primary annuitant
is considered the owner. In that case, a change in the primary annuitant will
be treated as the death of the owner. In the case of joint owners, the
distribution-at-death rules will be applied by treating the death of the first
owner as the one to be taken into account in determining how generally
distributions must commence, unless the sole surviving owner is the deceased
owner's spouse.
 
  2. Gift of Annuity Contracts
 
  Generally, gifts of non-tax qualified contracts prior to the annuity start
date will trigger tax on the gain on the contract, with the donee getting a
stepped-up basis for the amount included in the donor's income. The 10%
penalty tax and gift tax also may be applicable. This provision does not apply
to transfers between spouses or incident to a divorce.
 
  3. Contracts Owned by Non-Natural Persons
 
  For contributions to annuity contracts after February 28, 1986, if the
contract is held by a non-natural person (for example, a corporation) the
income on that contract (generally the net surrender value less the premium
payments) is includable in taxable income each year. The rule does not apply
where the contract is acquired by the estate of a decedent, where the contract
is held by certain types of retirement plans, where the contract is a
qualified funding asset for structured settlements, where the contract is
purchased on behalf of an employee upon termination of a qualified plan, and
in the case of a so-called immediate annuity. Code Section 457 (deferred
compensation) plans for employees of state and local governments and tax-
exempt organizations are not within the purview of the exceptions.
 
  4. Multiple Contract Rule
 
  For contracts entered into on or after October 21, 1988, for purposes of
determining the amount of any distribution under Code Section 72(e) (amounts
not received as annuities) that is includable in gross income, all annuity
contracts issued by the same insurer to the same contract owner during any
calendar year are to be aggregated and treated as one contract. Thus, any
amount received under any such contract prior to the contract's annuity start
date, such as a partial surrender, dividend, or loan, will be taxable (and
possibly subject to the 10% penalty tax) to the extent of the combined income
in all such contracts.
 
  In addition, the Treasury Department has broad regulatory authority in
applying this provision to prevent avoidance of the purposes of this new rule.
It is possible that, under this authority, the Treasury Department may apply
this rule to amounts that are paid as annuities (on and after the annuity
start date) under annuity contracts issued by the same company to the same
owner during any calendar year. In this case, annuity payments could be fully
taxable (and possibly subject to the 10% penalty tax) to the extent of the
combined income in all such contracts and regardless of whether any amount
would otherwise have been excluded from income because of the "exclusion
ratio" under the contract.
 
QUALIFIED PLANS
 
  The Contract may be used with several types of Qualified Plans. Keoghs,
individual retirement annuities, Section 403(b) tax sheltered annuities,
Section 457 plans, and pension and profit sharing plans (including Keoghs)
will be treated, for purposes of this discussion, as Qualified Plans. The tax
rules applicable to
 
                                      36
<PAGE>
 
participants in such Qualified Plans vary according to the type of plan and
the terms and conditions of the plan itself. No attempt is made herein to
provide more than general information about the use of the Contract with the
various types of Qualified Plans. Contract Owners, Annuitants, and
Beneficiaries, are cautioned that the rights of any person to any benefits
under such Qualified Plans may be subject to the terms and conditions of the
plans themselves or limited by applicable law, regardless of the terms and
conditions of the Contract issued in connection therewith. For example,
Pacific Mutual may accept beneficiary designations and payment instructions
under the terms of the Contract without regard to any spousal consents that
may be required under the Retirement Equity Act (REA). Consequently, a
Contract Owner's Beneficiary designation or elected payment option may not be
enforceable.
 
  The following are brief descriptions of the various types of Qualified Plans
for which the Contract is available:
 
  1. Individual Retirement Annuities
 
  Code Section 408 permits eligible individuals to contribute to an individual
retirement program known as an "IRA." These IRAs are subject to limitations on
the amount that may be contributed, the persons who may be eligible, and on
the time when distributions may commence. In addition, distribution from
certain other types of Qualified Plans may be placed on a tax-deferred basis
into an IRA.
 
  2. Tax-Sheltered Annuities
 
  Section 403(b) of the Code permits the purchase of "tax-sheltered annuities"
by public schools and certain charitable, educational and scientific
organizations described in Section 501(c) (3) of the Code. These eligible
employers may make contributions to the Contracts for the benefit of their
employees. Such contributions are not includible in the gross income of the
employee until the employee receives distributions from the Contract. The
amount of contributions to the tax-sheltered annuity is limited to certain
maximums imposed by the Code. Furthermore, the Code sets forth additional
restrictions governing such items as transferability, distributions,
nondiscrimination and withdrawals. Any employee should obtain competent tax
advice as to the tax treatment and suitability of such an investment.
 
  3. 401(k) Plans; Pension and Profit Sharing Plans
 
  Code Sections 401(a) and 401(k) permit employers to establish various types
of deferred compensation plans for employees. Such retirement plans may permit
the purchase of Contracts to provide benefits thereunder. Contributions to
these plans are subject to limitations.
 
  4. Government Plans
 
  Section 457 of the Code permits employees of a state or local government (or
of certain other tax-exempt entities) to defer compensation through an
eligible government plan. Contributions to a Contract in connection with an
eligible government plan are subject to limitations.
 
  Distributions from Qualified Plans are subject to certain restrictions. A
10% penalty tax is imposed on the amount includable in gross income from
distributions from Qualified Plans (other than Section 457 plans) before the
participant reaches age 59 1/2 and that are not made on account of death or
disability with certain exceptions. These exceptions include distributions:
(1) which are part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments made
(at least annually) for the life (or life expectancy) of the participant or
the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the participant and a
designated beneficiary; and (for other than IRA distributions) (2) made to an
employee after termination of employment after reaching age 55; or (3) made to
pay for certain medical expenses. Distributions of minimum amounts specified
by the Code must commence by April 1 of the calendar year following the
calendar year in which the participant reaches age 70 1/2. Additional
distribution rules apply after the participant's death. Failure to make
mandatory distributions may result in the imposition of a 50% penalty tax on
any difference between the required distribution amount and the amount
distributed. Distributions to a participant from all Qualified Plans (other
than Section 457 plans) in a calendar year that exceed a specific limit under
the Code are generally subject to a 15% penalty tax (in addition to any
ordinary income tax) on the excess portion of the distributions.
 
                                      37
<PAGE>
 
  Distributions from a Qualified Plan (not including an individual retirement
annuity subject to Code Section 408) to an employee, surviving spouse, or
former spouse who is an alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations
order, in the form of a lump sum settlement or periodic annuity payments for a
fixed period of fewer than 10 years are subject to mandatory income tax
withholding of 20% of the taxable amount of the distribution, unless (1) the
distributee directs the transfer of such amounts in cash to another Qualified
Plan or an IRA; or (2) the payment is a minimum distribution required under
the Code. The taxable amount is the amount of the distribution less the amount
allocable to after-tax contributions. All other types of taxable distributions
are subject to withholding unless the distributee elects not to have
withholding apply.
 
  The above description of the Federal income tax consequences of the
different types of Qualified Plans which may be funded by the Contract offered
by this Prospectus is only a brief summary and is not intended as tax advice.
The rules governing the provisions of Qualified Plans are extremely complex
and often difficult to comprehend. Anything less than full compliance with the
applicable rules, all of which are subject to change, may have adverse tax
consequences. A prospective Contract Owner considering adoption of a Qualified
Plan and purchase of a Contract in connection therewith should first consult a
qualified and competent tax adviser, with regard to the suitability of the
Contract as an investment vehicle for the Qualified Plan.
 
CHARGE FOR PACIFIC MUTUAL INCOME TAXES
 
  A charge may be made for any federal taxes incurred by Pacific Mutual that
are attributable to the Variable Accounts or to the operations of Pacific
Mutual with respect to the Contracts or attributable to payment or premiums or
acquisition costs under the Contracts. Pacific Mutual will review the question
of a charge to the Variable Accounts or the Contracts for Pacific Mutual's
federal taxes periodically. Charges may become necessary if, among other
reasons, the tax treatment of Pacific Mutual or of income and expenses under
the Contracts is ultimately determined to be other than what Pacific Mutual
currently believes it to be, if there are changes made in the federal income
tax treatment of variable annuities at the insurance company level, or if
there is a change in Pacific Mutual's tax status.
 
  Under current laws, Pacific Mutual 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, Pacific Mutual reserves the right to charge the Variable Accounts for
such taxes, if any, attributable to the Variable Accounts.
 
                               OTHER INFORMATION
 
VOTING OF FUND SHARES
 
  Pacific Mutual is the legal owner of the shares of the Fund held by the
Variable Accounts of the Separate Account. In accordance with its view of
present applicable law, Pacific Mutual will exercise voting rights
attributable to the shares of each Portfolio of the Fund held in the Variable
Accounts at any regular and special meetings of the shareholders of the Fund
on matters requiring shareholder voting under the 1940 Act. Pacific Mutual
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 1940 Act or any regulations thereunder should be
amended, or if the present interpretation thereof should change, and as a
result Pacific Mutual determines that it is permitted to vote the shares of
the Fund in its own right, it may elect to do so.
 
  The person having the voting interest under a Contract is the Owner. Unless
otherwise required by applicable law, the number of Fund shares of a
particular Portfolio as to which voting instructions may be given to Pacific
Mutual is determined by dividing a Contract Owner's Accumulated Value in a
Variable Account on a particular date by the net asset value per share of that
Portfolio as of the same date. Fractional votes will be counted. The number of
votes as to which voting instructions may be given will be determined as of
the date coincident with the date established by the Fund for determining
shareholders eligible to vote at the meeting of the Fund. If required by the
SEC, Pacific Mutual reserves the right to determine in a different fashion the
voting rights attributable to the shares of the Fund. Voting instructions may
be cast in person or by proxy.
 
                                      38
<PAGE>
 
   
  Voting rights attributable to the Contract Owner's Accumulated Value in a
Variable Account for which no timely voting instructions are received will be
voted by Pacific Mutual in the same proportion as the voting instructions that
are received in a timely manner for all Contracts participating in that
Variable Account. Pacific Mutual will also exercise the voting rights from
assets in each Variable Account that are not otherwise attributable to
Contract Owners, if any, in the same proportion as the voting instructions
that are received in a timely manner for all Contracts participating in that
Variable Account. If we hold shares of a Portfolio in our General Account,
and/or if any of our non-insurance subsidiaries hold shares of a Portfolio,
such shares will be voted in the same proportion as votes cast by the Separate
Account and other separate accounts of Pacific Mutual, in the aggregate.     
 
SUBSTITUTION OF INVESTMENTS
 
  Pacific Mutual reserves the right, subject to compliance with the law as
then in effect, to make additions to, deletions from, substitutions for, or
combinations of 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 Pacific Mutual's
management, further investment in shares of any or all Portfolios of the Fund
should become inappropriate in view of the purposes of the Contract, Pacific
Mutual may substitute shares of another Portfolio of the Fund or of a
different fund for shares already purchased, or to be purchased in the future
under the Contract. Pacific Mutual may also purchase, through the Variable
Account, other securities for other classes or contracts, or permit a
conversion between classes of contracts on the basis of requests made by
Owners.
 
  In connection with a substitution of any shares attributable to an Owner's
interest in a Variable Account or the Separate Account, Pacific Mutual will
provide notice, seek Owner approval, seek prior approval of the SEC, and
comply with the filing or other procedures established by applicable state
insurance regulators, to the extent required under applicable law.
 
  Pacific Mutual also reserves the right to establish additional Variable
Accounts of the Separate Account that would invest in a new Portfolio of the
Fund or in shares of another investment company, a portfolio thereof, or other
suitable investment vehicle. New Variable Accounts may be established in the
sole discretion of Pacific Mutual, and any new Variable Account will be made
available to existing Owners on a basis to be determined by Pacific Mutual.
Pacific Mutual may also eliminate or combine one or more Variable Accounts if,
in its sole discretion, marketing, tax, or investment conditions so warrant.
 
  Subject to compliance with applicable law, Pacific Mutual may transfer
assets to the General Account. Pacific Mutual also reserves the right, subject
to any required regulatory approvals, to transfer assets of any Variable
Account of the Separate Account to another separate account or Variable
Account.
 
  In the event of any such substitution or change, Pacific Mutual may, by
appropriate endorsement, make such changes in these and other contracts as may
be necessary or appropriate to reflect such substitution or change. If deemed
by Pacific Mutual to be in the best interests of persons having voting rights
under the Contracts, the Separate Account may be operated as a management
investment company under the 1940 Act 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 Pacific Mutual
or an affiliate thereof. Subject to compliance with applicable law, Pacific
Mutual also may combine one or more Variable Accounts and may establish a
committee, board, or other group to manage one or more aspects of the
operation of the Separate Account.
 
CHANGES TO COMPLY WITH LAW AND AMENDMENTS
 
  Pacific Mutual reserves the right, without the consent of Owners, to suspend
sales of the Contract as presently offered and to make any change to the
provisions of the Contracts to comply with, or give Owners the benefit of, any
Federal or state statute, rule, or regulation, including but not limited to
requirements for annuity contracts and retirement plans under the Internal
Revenue Code and regulations thereunder or any state statute or regulation.
Pacific Mutual also reserves the right to limit the amount and frequency of
subsequent premium payments.
 
                                      39
<PAGE>
 
REPORTS TO OWNERS
 
  A statement will be sent quarterly to each Contract Owner setting forth a
summary of the transactions that occurred during the quarter, and indicating
the Accumulated Value, Full Withdrawal Value, and any Contract Debt as of the
end of each quarter. In addition, the statement will indicate the allocation
of Accumulated Value among the Fixed Account and the Variable Accounts and any
other information required by law. Confirmations will also be sent out upon
premium payments, transfers, loans, loan repayments, and full and partial
withdrawals.
 
  Each Contract Owner will also receive an Annual and a Semi-annual report
containing 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 1940 Act, and/or such other reports as may be required by
Federal securities laws.
 
TELEPHONE TRANSFER PRIVILEGES
 
  A Contract Owner may request a transfer of Accumulated Value by telephone if
an authorization for telephone requests ("telephone authorization") is on file
at Pacific Mutual. All or part of any telephone conversation with respect to
transfer instructions may be recorded by Pacific Mutual. Telephone
instructions received by Pacific Mutual by 1:00 P.M. Pacific time, or the
close of the New York Stock Exchange, if earlier, on any Valuation Date will
be effected as of the end of that Valuation Date in accordance with the
Owner's instructions, (presuming that the Free-Look Period has expired).
Pacific Mutual reserves the right to deny any telephone transfer request. If
all telephone lines are busy (which might occur, for example, during periods
of substantial market fluctuations), Contract Owners might not be able to
request transfers by telephone and would have to submit written requests.
 
  Pacific Mutual has 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 Pacific Mutual, and Pacific Mutual will send a
written confirmation of all transfers requested by telephone within 7 days of
the transfer. Upon request in writing for telephone authorization, a Contract
Owner authorizes Pacific Mutual to accept and act upon telephonic instructions
for transfers involving the Contract Owner's Contract, and agrees that neither
Pacific Mutual, any of its affiliates, nor Pacific Select Fund, nor any of the
directors, trustees, officers, employees or agents, will be liable for any
loss, damages, cost, or expense (including attorneys fees) arising out of any
requests effected in accordance with the telephone authorization and believed
by Pacific Mutual to be genuine, provided that Pacific Mutual has complied
with its procedures. As a result of this policy on telephone requests, the
Contract Owner will bear the risk of loss arising from the telephone transfer
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 Contracts
described in this Prospectus, Pacific Mutual's authority to issue the
Contracts under California law, and the validity of the forms of the Contracts
under California law have been passed upon by David R. Carmichael, Esq.,
Senior Vice President and General Counsel of Pacific Mutual.
 
  Legal matters relating to the Federal securities and Federal income tax laws
have been passed upon by Dechert Price & Rhoads, Washington, D.C.

                            PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
 
  Performance information for the Variable Accounts of the Separate Account,
including the yield and effective yield of the Variable Account investing in
the Fund's Money Market Portfolio ("Money Market Variable Account"), the yield
of the remaining Variable Accounts, and the total return of all Variable
Accounts may appear in advertisements, reports, and promotional literature to
current or prospective Owners.
 
  Quotations of average annual total return for any Variable Account will be
expressed in terms of the average annual compounded rate of return on a
hypothetical investment in a Contract over a period of one, five, and ten
years (or, if less, up to the life of the Variable Account), and will reflect
the deduction of the applicable contingent deferred sales charge, the
administrative charge, the maintenance fee, and the mortality and expense risk
charge. Quotations of total return may simultaneously be shown that do not
take into account certain contractual charges such as the contingent deferred
sales charge, the administrative charge, and the maintenance fee.
 
  Performance information for Variable Accounts may also be advertised based
on the historical performance of the Fund Portfolio underlying the Variable
Account for periods beginning prior to the date each Variable Account
commenced operations. Any such performance calculation will be based on the
assumption that the Variable Account corresponding to the applicable Fund
Portfolio was in existence throughout the stated period and that the
contractual charges and expenses of the Variable Account during that period
were equal to those currently assessed under the Contract.
 
  Performance information for any Variable Account reflects only the
performance of a hypothetical Contract under which Accumulated Value is
allocated to a Variable Account during a particular time period on which the
calculations are based. Performance information should be considered in light
of the investment objectives and policies, characteristics, and quality of the
Portfolio of the Fund in which the Variable Account invests, and the market
conditions during the given time period, and should not be considered as a
representation of what may be achieved in the future. For a description of the
methods used to determine yield and total return and of the usage of
performance and other related information for the Variable Accounts, see the
Statement of Additional Information.

                 EXAMPLES OF CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGE
 
  The following examples illustrate the operation of the contingent deferred
sales charge.
 
EXAMPLE 1:
 
  A Contract Owner makes a single premium payment of $10,000 in the first
Contract Year and the Contract's Accumulated Value grows to $15,000 in the
fifth Contract Year. A partial withdrawal of $11,000 is requested at that time
and no prior withdrawals have been made.

          9,000              3%       Applied against remaining premium Age 5.
          1,000              0%       No charge imposed on an amount in excess of 
                                       aggregate premiums received in last 5 Contract
                                       Years.
</TABLE>
 
  The contingent deferred sales charge would be $270.
 
EXAMPLE 2:
 
  A Contract Owner makes an initial premium payment of $5,000 in the first
Contract Year, and subsequent premium payments of $2,000 in the second, third,
and fourth Contract Years for total premiums of $11,000, and the Contract's
Accumulated Value has grown to $17,000 in the sixth Contract Year. A
withdrawal of $12,000 is requested in the sixth Contract Year and no prior
withdrawals have been made.

                        GENERAL INFORMATION AND HISTORY
   
  For a description of the Individual Flexible Premium Variable Accumulation
Deferred Annuity Contract (the "Contract"), Pacific Mutual, and the Pacific
Select Variable Annuity Separate Account (the "Separate Account"), see the
Prospectus. This SAI contains information that supplements the information in
the Prospectus. Defined terms used in this SAI have the same meaning as terms
defined in the section entitled "Definitions" in the Prospectus.     
 
DOLLAR COST AVERAGING OPTION
 
  Pacific Mutual currently offers an option under which Contract Owners may
dollar cost average their allocations in the Variable Accounts under the
Contract by authorizing Pacific Mutual to make periodic allocations of
Accumulated Value from any one Variable Account to one or more of the other
Variable Accounts, subject to the limitation on the Growth Variable Account.
 
  Contract Owners may authorize Pacific Mutual to make periodic allocations
from the Fixed Account to one or more Variable Accounts. Dollar Cost Averaging
allocations may not be made from the Fixed Account and a Variable Account at
the same time.
 
  An Owner may request Dollar Cost Averaging by sending a proper request to
Pacific Mutual. The Contract Owner must designate the Variable Account or
Fixed Account from which the transfers will be made, the specific dollar
amounts or percentages to be transferred, the Variable Account or Accounts to
which the transfers will be made, the desired frequency of the transfer, which
may be on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, or annual basis, and the length
of time during which the transfers shall continue or the total amount to be
transferred over time.
 
  To elect the Dollar Cost Averaging Option, the Accumulated Value in the
Variable Account from which the Dollar Cost Averaging transfers will be made
must be at least $5,000. The Dollar Cost Averaging request will not be
considered complete until the Contract Owner's Accumulated Value in the
Variable Account from which the transfers will be made is at least $5,000.
After Pacific Mutual has received a Dollar Cost Averaging request in proper
form, Pacific Mutual will transfer Accumulated Value in amounts designated by
the Contract Owner from the Variable Account or Fixed Account from which
transfers are to be made to the Variable Account or Accounts chosen by the
Contract Owner. (The minimum amount or percentages that may be transferred to
any one Variable Account is $50). After the Free-Look Period, the first
transfer will be effected on the Contract's Monthly, Quarterly, Semi-Annual,
or Annual Anniversary, whichever corresponds to the period selected by the
Contract Owner, coincident with or next following receipt at Pacific Mutual of
a Dollar Cost Averaging request in proper form, and subsequent transfers will
be effected on the following Monthly, Quarterly, Semi-Annual, or Annual
Anniversary for so long as designated by the Contract Owner until the total
amount elected has been transferred, or until Accumulated Value in the Fixed
Account or Variable Account from which transfers are made has been depleted.
Amounts periodically transferred under this Option will not be subject to any
transfer charges that may be imposed by Pacific Mutual in the future, except
as may be required by applicable law.
 
  A Contract Owner may instruct Pacific Mutual at any time to terminate the
option by request to Pacific Mutual. In that event, the Accumulated Value in
the Variable Account or Fixed Account from which transfers were being made
that has not been transferred will remain in that Account unless the Contract
Owner instructs otherwise. If a Contract Owner wishes to continue transferring
on a Dollar Cost Averaging basis after the expiration of the applicable
period, the total amount elected has been transferred, or the Variable Account
or Fixed Account has been depleted, or after the Dollar Cost Averaging Option
has been cancelled, a new Dollar Cost Averaging request must be sent to
Pacific Mutual. The Variable Account from which transfers are to be made must
meet the minimum amount of Accumulated Value requirement. Pacific Mutual may
discontinue, modify, or suspend the Dollar Cost Averaging Option at any time.

PORTFOLIO REBALANCING OPTION
   
  Portfolio rebalancing allows Contract Owners who are not currently Dollar
Cost Averaging, to maintain the percentage of Accumulated Value allocated to
each Variable Investment Option at a pre-set level during the Accumulation
Period. For example, a Contract Owner could specify that 30% of the Contract's
Accumulated Value be allocated to the Equity Index Variable Account, 40% in
the Managed Variable Account, and 30% in the Growth LT Variable Account. Over
time, the variations in each Variable Account's investment results will shift
this balance of the Owner's Accumulated Value in the Contract. If an Owner
elects the portfolio rebalancing feature, we will automatically transfer the
Accumulated Value back to the percentages the Owner specified.     
   
  An Owner may request portfolio rebalancing by sending a proper written
request to Pacific Mutual during the Accumulation Period. The Contract Owner
must designate the percentages to allocate to each Variable Account and the
desired frequency of rebalancing, which may be on a quarterly, semi-annual or
annual basis. An Owner may specify a date for the first rebalance, or we will
treat the request as if the Owner selected the request's effective date. If
the Owner specifies a date fewer than 30 days after the Contract Date, the
first rebalance will be delayed one month, and if rebalancing was requested on
the application with no specific date, rebalancing will occur one period after
the Contract Date. A Contract Owner may instruct Pacific Mutual at any time to
terminate the portfolio rebalancing option by written request to Pacific
Mutual. We may change, terminate or suspend the portfolio rebalancing feature
at any time.     
 
SAFEKEEPING OF ASSETS
 
  Pacific Mutual is responsible for the safekeeping of the assets of the
Variable Accounts. These assets are held separate and apart from the assets of
Pacific Mutual's general account and its other separate accounts.
   
DIVIDENDS     
   
  The current dividend scale is zero and Pacific Mutual does not anticipate
that dividends will be paid. If any dividend is paid, the Contract Owner may
elect to receive the dividend in cash or to add the dividend to the Contract's
Accumulated Value. If no election is made by the Contract Owner, the dividend
will be added to the Accumulated Value. Pacific Mutual will allocate any
dividend to Accumulated Value in accordance with the Owner's most recent
premium allocation instructions, unless instructed. The Owner should consult
with his or her tax adviser before making an election.     
 
MISSTATEMENTS
 
  If the age or sex of an Annuitant or age of an Owner has been misstated, the
correct amount paid or payable by Pacific Mutual under the Contract shall be
such as the Accumulated Value would have provided for the correct Age or sex
(unless unisex rates apply).
 
                         DISTRIBUTION OF THE CONTRACT
   
PACIFIC MUTUAL DISTRIBUTORS, INC.     
   
  Pacific Mutual Distributors, Inc. ("PMD"), formerly Pacific Equities
Network, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Pacific Mutual, acts as the
principal underwriter of the Contracts and offers the Contracts on a
continuous basis. Pacific Mutual and PMD enter into selling agreements with
broker-dealers whose registered representatives are authorized by state
insurance departments to sell the Contracts.     
   
  Pursuant to its selling agreement with Pacific Mutual, PMD receives
compensation in the amount of 6.5% of the aggregate Purchase Payments for
distributing the Contracts. Under certain circumstances and in exchange for
lower initial commission, certain sellers of Contracts may be paid persistency
trail commission which will take into account, among other things, the length
of time premium payments have been held under a Contract, and Contract Values.
A trail commission is not anticipated to exceed 1.00%, on an annual basis, of
the Accumulated Value considered in connection with the trail commission.     
 
                                       2
<PAGE>
 
   
  In addition, Pacific Mutual may also pay override payments, expense
allowances, bonuses, wholesaler fees and training allowances. The aggregate
amount of underwriting commissions paid to PEN for 1995, 1994, and 1993 was
$27,712,281, $6,999,408 and $4,870,190, respectively, of which $0 was retained.
Broker-dealers may choose one of two compensation structures for sales of the
Contracts or may permit their registered representatives to choose on a
Contract-by-Contract basis. Registered representatives earn commissions from
the broker-dealers with which they are affiliated and such arrangements may
vary. In addition, registered representatives who meet certain production
levels may qualify, under sales incentive programs adopted by Pacific Mutual,
to receive non-cash compensation such as expense-paid trips, expense-paid
educational seminars and merchandise.     
 
                            INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
   
  Deloitte & Touche llp, 695 Town Center Drive, Suite 1200, Costa Mesa,
California 92626, independent public accountants, perform certain accounting
and auditing services for Pacific Mutual and the Separate Account. The
financial statements for Pacific Mutual as of and for the periods ended
December 31, 1995 and 1994, included in this SAI, and the financial statements
for the Separate Account as of and for the periods ended December 31, 1995 and
1994, including the notes thereto, incorporated by reference in this SAI from
the Annual Report of the Separate Account, have been audited by Deloitte &
Touche LLP to the extent and for the periods indicated in their reports
thereon.     
 
                            PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
 
  Performance information for the Variable Accounts of the Separate Account,
including the yield and effective yield of the Variable Account investing in
the Fund's Money Market Portfolio ("Money Market Variable Account"), the yield
of the remaining Variable Accounts, and the total return of all Variable
Accounts, may appear in advertisements, reports, and promotional literature to
current or prospective Owners.
 
  Current yield for the Money Market Variable Account will be based on the
change in the value of a hypothetical investment (exclusive of capital charges)
over a particular 7-day period, less a pro-rata share of the Variable Account's
expenses accrued over that period (the "base period"), and stated as a
percentage of the investment at the start of the base period (the "base period
return"). The base period return is then annualized by multiplying by 365/7,
with the resulting yield figures carried to at least the nearest hundredth of
one percent. Calculation of "effective yield" begins with the same "base period
return" used in the calculation of yield, which is then annualized to reflect
weekly compounding pursuant to the following formula:
 
  Effective Yield = [(Base Period Return) + 1) 365/7] - 1
 
  Quotations of yield for the remaining Variable Accounts will be based on all
investment income per Accumulation Unit earned during a particular 30-day
period, less expenses accrued during the period ("net investment income"), and
will be computed by dividing net investment income by the value of the
Accumulation Unit on the last day of the period, according to the following
formula:
 
      YIELD = 2[(a-b + 1) (to the power of 6)] - 1
                 ---
                 cd
 
  where
      a= net investment income earned during the period by the
         Portfolio attributable to shares owned by the Variable
         Account,
      b= expenses accrued for the period (net of reimbursements),
      c= the average daily number of Accumulation Units outstanding
         during the period that were entitled to receive dividends,
         and
      d= the maximum offering price per Accumulation Unit on the last
         day of the period.
 
 
                                       3
<PAGE>
 
  Quotations of average annual total return for any Variable Account will be
expressed in terms of the average annual compounded rate of return of a
hypothetical investment in a Contract over a period of one, five, and ten
years (or, if less, up to the life of the Variable Account), calculated
pursuant to the following formula: P(1 + T) (to the power of n) = ERV 
(where P = a hypothetical initial payment of $1,000, T = the average annual
total return, n = the number of years, and ERV = the ending redeemable value of
a hypothetical $1,000 payment made at the beginning of the period). All total
return figures reflect the deduction of the applicable contingent deferred sales
charge, the administrative charge, the maintenance fee, and the mortality and
expense risk charge. Performance information for Variable Accounts may also be
advertised based on the historical performance of the Fund Portfolio underlying
the Variable Account for periods beginning prior to the date each Variable
Account commenced operations. Any such performance calculation will be based on
the assumption that the Variable Account corresponding to the applicable Fund
Portfolio was in existence throughout the stated period and that the contractual
charges and expenses of the Variable Account during that period were equal to
those currently assessed under the Contract. Quotations of total return may
simultaneously be shown for the same or other periods that do not take into
account certain contractual charges such as the contingent deferred sales
charge, the administrative charge, and the maintenance fee.
 
  Performance information for a Variable Account may be compared, in reports
and promotional literature, to the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index ("S&P
500"), the Dow Jones Industrial Average ("DJIA"), the Donoghue Money Market
Institutional Averages, the Lehman Brothers Government Corporate Index, the
Lehman Brothers Government Bond Index, the Salomon Brothers High Yield Bond
Indexes, the Morgan Stanley Capital International's EAFE Index or other
indices that measure performance of a pertinent group of securities so that
investors may compare a Variable Account's results with those of a group of
securities widely regarded by investors as representative of the securities
markets in general or representative of a particular type of security.
Performance information may also be compared to (i) other groups of variable
annuity separate accounts or other investment products tracked by Lipper
Analytical Services, a widely used independent research firm which ranks
mutual funds and other investment companies by overall performance, investment
objectives, and assets, or tracked by other services, companies, publications
or persons who rank such investment companies on overall performance or other
criteria; and (ii) the Consumer Price Index (measure for inflation) to assess
the real rate of return from an investment in the Contract. Unmanaged indices
may assume the reinvestment of dividends but generally do not reflect
deductions for administrative and management costs and expenses.
 
  Performance information for any Variable Account reflects only the
performance of a hypothetical Contract under which an Owner's Accumulated
Value is allocated to a Variable Account during a particular time period on
which the calculations are based. Performance information should be considered
in light of the investment objectives and policies, characteristics and
quality of the Portfolio of the Fund in which the Variable Account invests,
and the market conditions during the given time period, and should not be
considered as a representation of what may be achieved in the future.
 
  Reports and promotional literature may also contain other information
including (i) the ranking of any Variable Account derived from rankings of
variable annuity separate accounts or other investment products tracked by
Lipper Analytical Services or by other rating services, companies,
publications, or other persons who rank separate accounts or other investment
products on overall performance or other criteria, (ii) the effect of tax-
deferred compounding on a Variable Account's investment returns, or returns in
general, which may be illustrated by graphs, charts, or otherwise, and which
may include a comparison, at various points in time, of the return from an
investment in a Contract (or returns in general) on a tax-deferred basis
(assuming one or more tax rates) with the return on a taxable basis, and (iii)
Pacific Mutual's rating or a rating of Pacific Mutual's claims paying ability
as determined by firms that analyze and rate insurance companies and by
nationally recognized statistical rating organizations.

  The following table presents the annualized total return for each Variable
Account, other than the Aggressive Equity and Emerging Markets Variable
Accounts, for the year ended December 31, 1995 and for the period from each
such Variable Account's commencement of operations through December 31, 1995.
The table is based on a Contract for which the average initial premium is
approximately $40,000. The Accumulated Value (AV) reflects the deductions for
all contractual expenses except the contingent deferred sales charge. The Full
Withdrawal Value (FWV) reflects the deduction for all contractual expenses.

*  Date Variable Account commenced operations.     
   
** The performance of the Equity Income, Multi-Strategy and International
   Variable Accounts for a portion of this period occurred at a time when
   other Portfolio Managers managed the corresponding Portfolio in which each
   Variable Account invests. Effective January 1, 1994, J.P. Morgan Investment
   Management, Inc. became the Portfolio Manager of the Equity Income and
   Multi-Strategy Portfolio and Templeton Investment Counsel, Inc. became the
   Portfolio Manager of the International Portfolio; prior to 1/1/94, some of
   the investment policies of the Equity Income Portfolio and the investment
   objective of the International Portfolio differed. Performance of the
   Equity Portfolio and the Bond and Income Portfolio is based in part on the
   performance of predecessor portfolios of Pacific Corinthian Variable Fund,
   which began their first full year of operations January 1, 1984 and were
   acquired by the Fund on December 31, 1994.     
 
                           TAX DEFERRED ACCUMULATION
   
  In general, individuals who own annuity contracts are not taxed on increases
in the value under an annuity contract until some form of distribution is made
under the contract. Thus, the annuity contract will benefit from tax deferral
during the accumulation period, which generally will have the effect of
permitting an investment in an annuity contract to grow more rapidly than a
comparable investment under which increases in value are taxed on a current
basis. The following chart illustrates this benefit by comparing accumulation
under a variable annuity contract versus accumulation from an investment on
which gains are taxed on a current basis. The chart portrays accumulation of a
$10,000 premium or investment, assuming hypothetical gross annual rates of
return of 0%, 4% and 8%, compounded annually, and a tax bracket of 36%. Values
for the taxable investment are presented with the assumption that annual taxes
are paid from returns of the investment and they do not reflect the deduction
of any charges or fees. Values for the variable annuity contract are shown for
Accumulated Value, assuming the contract owner does not surrender or make any
withdrawals from the contract, and after-tax Full Withdrawal value, assuming
that the owner surrenders the contract at the end of the periods shown and
pays any withdrawal fee federal income taxes due from the contractual
proceeds. The values shown for the variable annuity do not reflect the
deduction of contractual expenses, including the Mortality and Expense Risk
Charge, Administrative Charge, Maintenance Fee, Transfer Fee, or Premium Tax
Charge or the investment advisory fees and operating expenses of the Fund. For
a description of the charges and expenses under the Contract, see EXPENSE
TABLE and CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS in the Prospectus. The rates of returns
illustrated are hypothetical and are not a guaranty of performance. Tax rates
may vary for different

taxpayers from the 36% used in the chart, which would result in different
values than those shown on the chart and withdrawals and surrenders by
Contract Owners who have not reached age 59 1/2 may be subject to a tax
penalty.     
 
  The hypothetical rates of return used in the chart are assumptions only, and
no implication is intended that the returns are guaranteed in any way or that
they represent an average or expected rates of return over the period
depicted. The portion of Accumulated Value that exceeds the variable annuity
contract owner's investment in the contract is taxed at ordinary income tax
rates upon distribution, and a 10% tax penalty may apply to withdrawals by
owners who have not yet reached age 59 1/2.

    INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
 
    Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Company:
 
    We have audited the accompanying statements of financial position of
    Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Company as of December 31, 1995 and 1994,
    and the related statements of operations and surplus, and of cash flow
    for the years then ended. 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 financial statements present fairly, in all
    material respects, the financial position of Pacific Mutual Life
    Insurance Company as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of
    its operations and its cash flow for the years then ended, in conformity
    with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Insurance
    Department of the State of California and with generally accepted
    accounting principles.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
    DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
 
    Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Company ("Pacific Mutual") was established
    in 1868 and is organized under the laws of the State of California as a
    mutual life insurance company. Pacific Mutual conducts business in every
    state except New York.
 
    Pacific Mutual, including its subsidiaries and affiliates, has primary
    business segments which consist of life insurance, annuities, pension
    products, group employee benefits and investment management and advisory
    services. These primary business segments provide products for
    individuals and corporations and offer a range of investment products to
    institutions and pension plans.
 
    BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
    Pacific Mutual's financial statements are prepared in accordance with
    accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Insurance Department
    of the State of California, which are currently considered generally
    accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for mutual life insurance
    companies. Prescribed statutory accounting practices include a variety of
    publications of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners
    ("NAIC"), as well as state laws, regulations, and general administrative
    rules. Permitted statutory accounting practices encompass all accounting
    practices not so prescribed. The financial statements of Pacific Mutual
    are not consolidated with those of its subsidiaries.
 
    The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") has issued certain
    pronouncements effective for 1996 financial statements and thereafter
    that will no longer allow statutory financial statements of mutual life
    insurance companies to be described as being prepared in conformity with
    GAAP.
 
    Upon the effective date of these pronouncements, in order for their
    financial statements to be described as being prepared in accordance with
    GAAP, mutual life insurance companies and their insurance subsidiaries
    will be required to adopt all applicable authoritative GAAP
    pronouncements in any general purpose financial statements that they may
    issue. Pacific Mutual intends to issue 1996 general purpose financial
    statements reflecting the adoption of all applicable GAAP pronouncements.
 
    INVESTMENTS
 
    Bonds qualifying for amortization are carried at amortized cost; all
    other bonds are carried at prescribed values. Preferred stocks are
    principally stated at amortized cost. Unaffiliated common stocks are
    carried at market value. Investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries are
    reported on the equity method of accounting, except for Pacific
    Corinthian Life Insurance Company ("PCL") (Note 2) which is carried at
    cost.
 
    Mortgage loans and policy loans are stated at unpaid principal balances.
    Real estate is valued at the lower of depreciated cost or market, less
    related mortgage debt. Real estate is depreciated using the straight-line
    method over 30 years.
 
    Short-term investments generally mature within a year and are carried at
    amortized cost which approximates estimated fair value.
 
    The Asset Valuation Reserve ("AVR") is computed in accordance with a
    prescribed formula and is designed to stabilize surplus against valuation
    and credit-related losses for certain invested assets. Changes to the AVR
    are reported as direct additions or deductions from surplus. The Interest
    Maintenance Reserve ("IMR"), included in other liabilities on the
    accompanying statements of financial position, results in the deferral of
    after-tax realized capital gains and losses attributable to interest rate
    fluctuations on fixed income investments. These capital gains and losses
    are amortized into investment income over the remaining life of the
    investment sold. The IMR was $25.3 million and $13.1 million as of
    December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

1.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
 
    Net realized capital gains and losses are determined on the specific
    identification method and are presented net of federal capital gains tax
    of $18.5 million and $(2.3) million and transfers to the IMR of $22.6
    million and $(.4) million for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994,
    respectively.
 
    Derivatives which qualify for hedge accounting are valued consistently
    with the hedged items. Realized hedged gains and losses on fixed income
    contracts are deferred and amortized over the average life of the related
    hedged assets or insurance liabilities. Realized gains and losses on
    equity securities, which are marked to market, are recognized
    immediately. Derivatives which do not qualify for hedge accounting are
    valued at market value through surplus while still held and when realized
    through income.
 
    On November 15, 1994, Pacific Financial Asset Management Corporation
    ("PFAMCo"), a wholly-owned, subsidiary of Pacific Mutual, and five of its
    subsidiaries (Pacific Investment Management Company and subsidiaries,
    Parametric Portfolio Associates, Inc., Cadence Capital Management
    Corporation, NFJ Investment Group, Inc. and Blairlogie Capital Management
    Limited) 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. Collectively, PFAMCo and various of its subsidiaries beneficially
    own approximately 42% of the outstanding general and limited partner
    units of PIMCO Advisors L.P. as of December 31, 1995 and 1994. Net cash
    distributions received on these units are recorded as income as permitted
    by the Insurance Department of the State of California.
 
    On December 21, 1995, Pacific Mutual completed a subsidiary
    reorganization in which PFAMCo became a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary
    of Pacific Mutual. Prior to that PFAMCo was a wholly-owned second-tier
    subsidiary of Pacific Mutual. The intermediate company, Pacific Financial
    Holding Company ("PFHC") and certain of its assets and liabilities were
    merged into PFAMCo in connection with this reorganization. The remaining
    assets were merged into Pacific Mutual which consisted of investments in
    subsidiaries as follows: Pacific Equities Network, PM Group Life
    Insurance Company and PFAMCo.
 
    POLICY RESERVES AND DEPOSIT FUNDS
 
    Life insurance reserves are valued using the net level premium method,
    the Commissioners' Reserve Valuation Method, or other modified reserve
    methods.
 
    Reserves for individual annuities are maintained principally on the
    Commissioners' Annuity Reserve Valuation Method. Group annuity contract
    reserves are valued using the net single premium method.
 
    The liability for deposit funds, including guaranteed interest contracts,
    is based primarily upon and is not less than the policyowners' equity in
    their deposit accounts, including credited interest.
 
    REVENUES AND EXPENSES
 
    Premiums are recognized as income over the premium paying period.
    Deposits made in connection with annuity contracts are recognized as
    revenue when received. Investment income is recorded as earned.
 
    Expenses, including policy acquisition costs, such as commissions, and
    Federal income taxes are charged to operations as incurred.
 
    DIVIDENDS
 
    Dividends are provided based on dividend formulas approved by the Board
    of Directors and reviewed for reasonableness and equitable treatment of
    policyowners by an independent consulting actuary.

1.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
 
    FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
 
    Pacific Mutual is taxed as a life insurance company for Federal income
    tax purposes. Pacific Mutual's income tax return is consolidated with all
    its includable domestic subsidiaries except PCL. The amount of Federal
    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. Under prescribed statutory accounting
    practices, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recorded. The
    difference between the effective tax rate and the statutory tax rate of
    35% for 1995 and 1994 is primarily due to certain policy acquisition
    costs being deferred and amortized over a ten-year period for tax
    purposes, reserve differences, non-taxable investment income and the
    equity tax.
 
    OTHER SURPLUS TRANSACTIONS
 
    Other surplus transactions consist primarily of unrealized capital gains
    and losses, changes in nonadmitted assets, and changes in the AVR.
 
    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 policy
    owners and contract owners.
 
    FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
    The estimated fair value of financial instruments disclosed in Notes 3
    and 4 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
    Pacific Mutual 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.
 
    USE OF ESTIMATES
 
    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
    practices prescribed or permitted by regulatory authorities and generally
    accepted accounting principles 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 1995
    financial statement presentation.
 
2.  REHABILITATION OF FIRST CAPITAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
 
    Pursuant to a five-year rehabilitation agreement approved by a California
    Superior Court and the Insurance Department of the State of California in
    July 1992, Pacific Mutual, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, PCL, will
    facilitate the rehabilitation of First Capital Life Insurance Company
    ("FCL"). In accordance with the rehabilitation agreement, insurance
    policies of FCL were restructured and assumed by PCL on December 31,
    1992.
 
    The rehabilitation agreement provides for the holders of restructured
    policies to share in a substantial percentage of the unallocated surplus
    of PCL at the end of the rehabilitation period. Policyholders have the
    option to surrender their restructured policies with reduced benefits
    during this five-year period. During the rehabilitation

    plan period, PCL is prohibited from issuing new insurance policies. At
    the end of the rehabilitation period, PCL will merge into Pacific Mutual,
    with Pacific Mutual as the surviving entity. Substantially all of the
    assets and certain of the liabilities of FCL were assumed by PCL on
    December 31, 1992, pursuant to an assumption reinsurance agreement and
    asset purchase agreement.
 
    In accordance with the rehabilitation agreement, PCL was capitalized by a
    cash contribution of $8.3 million from Pacific Mutual and a $45 million
    certificate of contribution provided by a wholly-owned subsidiary of
    Pacific Mutual for a total of $53.3 million initial capitalization.
 
    In the event PCL is unable to pay contract benefits, Pacific Mutual is
    obligated to contribute funds to pay those benefits in accordance with
    the rehabilitation agreement.
   
3.  INVESTMENTS IN DEBT SECURITIES     
 
    The statement value, gross unrealized gains and losses and estimated fair
    value of bonds and redeemable preferred stocks ("debt securities"),
    including short-term investments, are shown below. The estimated fair
    value of publicly traded securities was based on quoted market prices.
    For securities not actively traded, estimated fair values were provided
    by independent pricing services specializing in "matrix pricing" and
    modeling techniques. Pacific Mutual also estimates certain fair values
    based on interest rates, credit quality and average maturity or from
    securities with comparable trading characteristics.

4.  FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)
 
    The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair
    values of these financial instruments as of December 31, 1995 and 1994:
 
    PREFERRED AND COMMON STOCKS
 
    The estimated fair values are based on quoted market prices or dealer
    quotes.
 
    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 statement value of policy loans is a reasonable estimate of their
    fair value.
 
    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 values of deposit liabilities
    with no defined maturities are the amounts payable on demand.
 
    Pacific Mutual has issued PRO GIC and Diversifier GIC contracts to plan
    sponsors totaling $914 million as of December 31, 1995, pursuant to the
    terms of which the plan sponsor retains direct ownership and control of
    the assets related to these contracts. Pacific Mutual agrees to provide
    benefit responsiveness in the event that plan benefit requests exceed
    plan cash flows. In return for this guarantee, Pacific Mutual receives a
    fee which varies by contract. Pacific Mutual sets the investment
    guidelines to provide for appropriate credit quality and cash flow
    matching.
 
    ANNUITY LIABILITIES
 
    The fair value of annuity liabilities approximates statement value and
    primarily includes policyholder deposits and accumulated credited
    interest.
 
    DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
    Pacific Mutual 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. Pacific Mutual has also
    set aside a corporate total return portfolio utilizing derivative
    financial instruments. These instruments include interest rate and
    currency swaps, asset swaps, credit derivatives, forwards, options held,
    options written, and futures contracts, and involve elements of credit
    risk and market risk in excess of amounts recognized in the accompanying
    financial statements. The notional amounts of those instruments reflect
    the extent of involvement in those various types of financial
    instruments. The estimated fair values of these instruments are based on
    market or dealer quotes. Pacific Mutual determines, on an individual
    counterparty basis, the need for collateral or other security to support
    financial instruments with off-balance sheet credit risks.

4.  FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)
 
    Options and Floors
 
    Pacific Mutual uses options and floors to hedge against fluctuations in
    interest rates and in its corporate total return portfolio. Cash
    requirements on options held are limited to the premium paid by Pacific
    Mutual at acquisition. Pacific Mutual uses written options on a limited
    basis consisting primarily of covered calls. Gains and losses on covered
    calls are offset by gains and losses on the underlying position. Options
    and floors held are reported as assets and options written are reported
    as liabilities. As of December 31, 1995, the notional amount of options
    held and options written approximated $1.3 billion and $30 million,
    respectively. As of December 31, 1994, the notional amount of options
    held and options written approximated $1.5 billion and $42 million,
    respectively. Option contracts mature during 1996 through 2007.
 
    Interest Rate Swap Contracts
 
    Pacific Mutual has entered into interest rate swap contracts to reduce
    the impact of changes in interest rates on its variable short-term and
    long-term investments. These contracts effectively change the interest
    rate exposure on variable rate notes to fixed rates which range from 1.9%
    to 8.9% as of December 31, 1995, and from 1.9% to 8.6% as of December 31,
    1994. Interest rate swap contracts mature during 1996 through 2013. As of
    December 31, 1995 and 1994, interest rate swap contracts outstanding with
    financial institutions had a total notional amount of $656 million and
    $411 million, respectively.
 
    Asset Swap Contracts
 
    Pacific Mutual has entered into an asset swap contract to reduce interest
    rate risk by shortening both the duration and maturity of one of its
    fixed rate investments. The asset swap contract matures during 1998. As
    of December 31, 1995, the asset swap contract had a notional amount of
    $10 million.
 
    Credit Derivatives
 
    Pacific Mutual uses credit derivatives to take advantage of market
    opportunities. As of December 31, 1995 and 1994, the notional amount of
    credit derivatives outstanding approximated $90 million and $66 million,
    respectively. Credit derivatives mature during 1996 through 2000.
 
    Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts
 
    Pacific Mutual enters into foreign currency exchange contracts that are
    used to hedge against fluctuations in foreign currency-denominated assets
    and related income. Gains and losses on such agreements offset currency
    gains and losses on the related assets. As of December 31, 1995 and 1994,
    the notional amount of foreign currency exchange contracts approximated
    $15 million and $35 million, respectively. Foreign currency exchange
    contracts expire during 1998 and 1999.
 
    Future Contracts
 
    Pacific Mutual uses exchange-traded futures contracts for asset and
    liability management of fixed maturity securities and insurance
    liabilities and for hedging market fluctuations on equity securities.
    Price changes on futures are settled daily through the daily margin cash
    flows. As of December 31, 1995 and 1994, the notional amounts of futures
    contracts were $340 million and $163 million, respectively. The notional
    amounts of the contracts do not represent future cash requirements, as
    Pacific Mutual intends to close out open positions prior to expiration.

    CONTRIBUTION CERTIFICATES
 
    The estimated fair value of contribution certificates is based on market
    quotes.
 
5.  CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
 
    Pacific Mutual 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.
 
    Pacific Mutual is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance
    by the other parties to the interest rate swaps contracts and other
    derivative securities. However, Pacific Mutual does not anticipate
    nonperformance by the counterparties.
   
6.  UNCONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES     
 
    Pacific Mutual's subsidiary operations primarily include other life and
    health insurance and investment management and advisory services. As of
    December 31, 1995 and 1994, subsidiary assets were $4.5 billion and
    liabilities were $4.3 billion as of December 31, 1995 and $4.2 billion as
    of December 31, 1994.
 
    Revenue and net income, including PCL, were $908 million and $63 million
    for the year ended December 31, 1995, and $1.1 billion and $75 million
    for the year ended December 31, 1994. Dividends from subsidiaries totaled
    $64.7 million and $2 million for the years ended December 31, 1995 and
    1994, respectively. Earnings of subsidiaries, excluding PCL, and
    excluding capital gains, are included in net investment income.
 
7.  BORROWINGS
 
    Pacific Mutual borrows for short-term needs by issuing commercial paper.
    Approximately $50 million was outstanding as of December 31, 1994,
    bearing an interest rate of 5.86%, and was repaid in January, 1995. There
    were no borrowings outstanding as of December 31, 1995.
 
    In addition, Pacific Mutual had available a revolving credit facility
    totaling approximately $250 million as of December 31, 1995 and 1994.
    There were no borrowings outstanding as of December 31, 1995 and 1994.
 
8.  CONTRIBUTION CERTIFICATES
 
    Pacific Mutual has $150 million of Contribution Certificates (the
    "Certificates"), also referred to as 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 Certificates may not be
    redeemed at the option of Pacific Mutual or any holder of the
    Certificates. The Certificates are unsecured and subordinated to all
    present and future senior indebtedness and policy claims of Pacific
    Mutual. Each payment of interest on and the payment of principal of the
    Certificates may be made only out of Pacific Mutual's surplus and with
    the prior approval of the Insurance Commissioner of the State of
    California. In accordance with accounting practices prescribed or
    permitted by the Insurance Department of the State of California, the
    Certificates are not part of the liabilities of Pacific Mutual and are
    included in surplus.

9.  REINSURANCE     
       
    Pacific Mutual has reinsurance agreements with other insurance companies
    for the purpose of diversifying risk and limiting exposure on larger
    risks. For the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, individual life
    and annuity premiums assumed were $16 million and $20 million and
    premiums ceded were $339 million and $363 million, respectively. Amounts
    recoverable from reinsurers for individual life and annuities include
    reinsured and paid claims of $8 million and $13 million as of December
    31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Policy benefits payable are net of
    reinsurance recoveries of $8 million and $4 million at December 31, 1995
    and 1994, respectively.
 
    Pacific Mutual also reinsures substantially all of its group life and
    health business with a subsidiary insurance company. Premiums of $72
    million and $90 million, and benefits of $53 million and $70 million were
    ceded during the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
 
    Amounts payable to the subsidiary under this agreement were $6 million
    and $8 million as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
 
    To the extent that the assuming companies become unable to meet their
    obligations under these treaties, Pacific Mutual remains contingently
    liable. However, Pacific Mutual does not anticipate nonperformance by
    these assuming companies.
   
10. PENSION PLAN AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS     
 
    PENSION PLAN
 
    Pacific Mutual maintains a defined benefit pension plan covering eligible
    employees and agents. In 1995, Pacific Mutual accrued $2.5 million in
    pension expense that will be funded in 1996 based on the latest actuarial
    valuation report. No expense or contributions were made during 1994
    because of the funded status of the plans and related income tax
    considerations. Accumulated benefits and net assets available for
    benefits as of the latest valuation dates (January 1, 1995 and April 1,
    1994) are as follows:

    The above present values were determined using an assumed discount rate

    POSTRETIREMENT HEALTHCARE AND LIFE INSURANCE PLANS
 
    Pacific Mutual 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 Mutual'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.

10. PENSION PLAN AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS (CONTINUED)
    commitment to qualified employees who retire after April 1, 1994 is
    limited to specific dollar amounts. Pacific Mutual 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 Plans for the years ended December 31, 1995 and
    1994 was approximately $1.7 million for both years.
 
    Pacific Mutual utilizes the accrual method of accounting for the costs of
    The Plans as prescribed by the Insurance Department of the State of
    California and amortizes its transition obligation of $26.7 million over
    twenty years.
 
    Components of net periodic postretirement benefit cost are as follows (In

    rate assumptions were increased by 1%, the accumulated postretirement
    benefit obligation as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 would be increased by
    10.9% and 11.2%, respectively. The effect of this change would increase
    the aggregate of the service, interest and amortization cost components
    of the net periodic benefit cost by 11.4% and 13.6%, respectively.
 
    The discount rate used in determining the accumulated postretirement
    benefit obligation is 7% and 8% for 1995 and 1994, respectively.

Resolution of the Board of Directors of
Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Company ("Pacific Mutual")
Authorizing Establishment of Separate Accounts and
Memorandum Establishing Pacific Select Variable
Annuity Separate Account
<PAGE>
 
OFFICE MEMORANDUM
DATE
November 28, 1989
TO
Harry G. Bubb
FROM
Clement B. Penrose
SUBJECT
PACIFIC SELECT VARIABLE ANNUITY SEPARATE ACCOUNT

RECOMMENDATION:

That you authorize the establishment of the Pacific Select Variable Annuity
Separate Account.

WHY RECOMMENDATION IS SUBMITTED AT THIS TIME:

Documentation of this authorization must accompany the registration filing about
to be made with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the Pacific Select
Individual Flexible Premium Deferred Variable Accumulation Annuity Contract.

BACKGROUND:

General management has approved the development of a third variable product,
Pacific Select Individual Flexible Premium Deferred Variable Accumulation
Annuity Contract.  Amounts received by Pacific Mutual in connection with the
sale of this new product will be allocated to the Pacific Select Variable
Annuity Separate Account and among its nine subaccounts, at the Contract Owners'
direction.

On November 22, 1989, the Board of Directors of Pacific Mutual adopted a
resolution authorizing any Officer of the corporation to take whatever action is
necessary to establish and maintain Separate Accounts which may be required in
connection with variable life insurance policies, variable annuity contracts, or
any derivative thereof.  Outside counsel for our variable life products
recommends that this authorization for the new Separate account be obtained from
the Chief Executive Officer of Pacific Mutual.

OTHERS CONSULTED:

Mr. Joanning, Mr. Carmichael and Ms. Ledger concur in this recommendation.

Distribution Agreement Between
Pacific Mutual and Pacific Equities Network ("PEN")
<PAGE>
 
DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT


AGREEMENT made this 25th day of June, 1990, by and between Pacific Mutual Life
Insurance Company, a California company, ("Pacific Mutual") on its own behalf
and on behalf of the Pacific Select Variable Annuity 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 annuity
contracts ("Contracts") to commence after the effectiveness of the Registration
Statement relating thereto filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
Form N-4 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"); and

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 to 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 annuity contracts or insurance
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
annuity laws and any applicable blue sky laws of each state or other
jurisdiction in which such Contracts 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 annuity 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, retirement 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

documents, reports, records, books, files, and other materials relating to this
Agreement and the services to be performed hereunder shall be the sole property
of Pacific Mutual and the Separate Account and that such property shall be held

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

on premiums subsequently received for Contracts in effect at time of
termination, and the agreements contained in Sections 12 and 13 hereof.

18.  Regulation.  This Agreement shall be subject to the provisions of the 1940
Act and the Securities Exchange Act and the rules, regulations and rulings
thereunder, and of the applicable rules and regulations of the NASD, and
applicable state insurance law and other applicable law, from time to time in
effect, and the terms hereof shall be interpreted and construed in accordance
therewith.

19.  Independent Contractor.  PEN shall act as an independent contractor and
nothing herein contained shall constitute PEN or its agents, officers or

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.

                 AUTHORITY AND DUTIES OF SELLING BROKER-DEALER

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

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

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


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

A.  CONTRACTS

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

B.  SECURING APPLICATIONS

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

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

C.  RECEIPT OF MONEY

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

D.  NOTICE OF SUB-AGENT'S NONCOMPLIANCE

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

E.  SALES PROMOTION, ADVERTISING AND PROSPECTUSES

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

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

F.  CONFIDENTIALITY

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

G.  RECORDS

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

                                       4
<PAGE>
 
H.  SUB-AGENT AGREEMENTS

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

                                       V.
                                  COMPENSATION

A.  COMMISSIONS AND FEES

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

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

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

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

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

B.  TIME OF PAYMENT

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

C.  AMENDMENT OF SCHEDULES

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

D.  Prohibition Against Rebates

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

E.  INDEBTEDNESS AND RIGHT OF SET OFF

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


                                      VI.
                               GENERAL PROVISIONS

A.  Waiver

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

B.  LIMITATIONS

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

officers, agents, employees and Sub-agents who are licensed pursuant to this
Agreement as Pacific Mutual agents for state insurance law purposes or who have
access to funds of Pacific Mutual, including but not limited to, funds submitted
with applications for the Contracts are and shall be covered by a blanket
fidelity bond, including coverage for larceny and embezzlement, issued by a
reputable bonding company.  This bond shall be maintained by Selling Broker-
Dealer or General Agent at their expense.  Such bond shall be, at a minimum, of
the form, type, and amount required under NASD Rules, endorsed to extend
coverage to transactions relating to the Contracts.  Pacific Mutual may require
evidence, satisfactory to it, that such coverage is in force and Selling Broker-
Dealer or General Agent, as the case may be, shall give prompt written notice to
Pacific Mutual of any notice of cancellation of the bond or change of coverage.

  Selling Broker-Dealer and General Agent hereby assign any proceeds received
from a fidelity bonding company, error and omissions or other liability
coverage, to Pacific Mutual or PEN as their interest may appear, to the extent
of their loss due to activities covered by the bond, policy or other liability
coverage. If there is any deficiency amount, whether due to a deductible or
otherwise, Selling Broker-Dealer or General Agent shall promptly pay such
amounts on demand.  Selling Broker-Dealer and General Agent hereby indemnify and
hold harmless Pacific Mutual and PEN from any such deficiency and from the costs
of collection thereof (including reasonable attorneys' fees).

D.  BINDING EFFECT

parties to it and their respective successors and assigns provided that neither
Selling Broker-Dealer nor General Agent may assign this Agreement or any rights
or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Pacific Mutual.

<PAGE>
 
                                     NOTES

1.  Commission Calculation:  Commissions based on premium will be calculated
only on premium actually received and accepted by Pacific Mutual.  Commissions
will be paid only on an earned basis.

2.  Trail Commission:  Under Option B, no trail commissions will be paid until
the end of the first Contract year.  At that time, quarterly trail commissions
will be paid at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Contract's accumulated value
less any Contract debt at Contract quarter-end, beginning with the fourth
Contract quarter-end.  After the Contract has been in effect for five years,
quarterly trail commissions will be paid at the annual rate of 1.00% of the
Contract's accumulated value less any Contract debt at Contract quarter-end,
beginning with the twentieth Contract quarter-end.  Trail commissions will be
payable on the next commission cycle following each Contract quarter-end,
provided the Contract is in force on such commission cycle date.

3.  Commission Rate Change:  The commission rate on premium received will be
reduced by 0.3% for each year the annuitant's issue age exceeds age 75 (for
example, at issue age 80 the commission rate is 4.5% under Option A).  If there
are joint annuitants, the younger annuitant's issue age will be used.

4.  Compensation Payments:  Compensation on initial premium will be due to the
General Agent and/or Selling Broker-Dealer at the time of issuance of the
Contract and for all other premium payments at the time of the receipt and
acceptance of premium by Pacific Mutual.  The amount, if any, and the time of
payment of compensation on replacements, changes, exchanges and other special
cases and programs will be governed by Pacific Mutual's underwriting and
administrative rules then in effect.  With respect to any Contract, or group of
Contracts, that either Pacific Mutual or Pacific Equities Network may, in its
sole discretion, determine to be a special case and for which at the time the
application is submitted, the initial purchase payment is greater than $1
million, Pacific Mutual and Pacific Equities Network may determine that the
commissions in this Revised Schedule B do not apply and establish an alternative
commission schedule for such Contract or group of Contracts.

5.  Commission Chargeback:  In the event that a Contract for which a commission
has been paid is surrendered by the Contract Owner, or is returned to Pacific
Equities Network or Pacific Mutual pursuant to the Free Look Right in the
Contract, or a premium for which commission has been paid is refunded by Pacific
Mutual, Pacific Equities Network will require reimbursement from General Agent
and/or Selling Broker-Dealer as follows:

 .  100% if the event occurs during the first six months of the Contract; or

 .  50% if the event occurs during the seventh through the twelfth month of the 
   Contract.

If the amount to be deducted exceeds compensation otherwise due, Selling Broker-
Dealer will promptly reimburse Pacific Equities Network before the next
commission cycle or within 10 business days from the date of mailing of a
written demand for reimbursement, whichever is later.

Pacific Mutual and Pacific Equities Network reserve the right to terminate or
amend this Revised Schedule B by providing written notification to the Broker-
Dealer in accordance with Section VI.C of the Selling Agreement.

payments to the Annuitant.  It is shown on the Contract Specifications pages.
If you do not choose an Annuity Start Date,
<PAGE>
 
we will make the Annuity Start Date the Contract Anniversary nearest the
Annuitant's 85th birthday.  If there are Joint Annuitants, we will use the 85th
birthday of the younger Joint Annuitant.  You may change the Annuity start Date
by sending us written notice before the Annuity Start Date then in effect.
However, in no event can the Annuity Start Date be later than the first day of
the month following the 95th birthday of the Annuitant or the younger Joint
Annuitant, if applicable.

OWNER - owns and controls this Contract and can exercise all contractual rights
while the Annuitant is living.  You may change the Owner by sending us written
notice that is satisfactory to us.  If there are Joint Owners, Owner means Joint
Owners, unless otherwise indicated.

OWNER BENEFICIARY - the person you name (other than a Joint or Contingent Owner)
to receive the death benefit proceeds, if any, if the Owner dies before the
Annuitant and before the Annuity Start Date, if living; otherwise, the Owner's
estate.

WRITTEN NOTICE - all changes or requests must be in writing and must be received
at our Home Office. Whenever written notice is required, send it to our Variable
Life Administration Department at its mailing address.  The address is shown in
the Definitions Section under Home Office.

GENERAL PROVISIONS

ENTIRE CONTRACT - This Contract is between the Owner and PM.  This Contract, the
attached application, all subsequent applications to change the Contract, and
any riders and endorsements make up the entire Contract.  All statements made in
the application are representations and not warranties.  This Contract may not
be modified, nor may any of our rights or requirements be waived, except in
writing by our President or Secretary.

INCONTESTABILITY - This Contract is not contestable.

MISSTATEMENTS - If the Age or sex of the Annuitant or the Age of the Owner is
misstated in the application, any benefits provided by this Contract prior to
the Annuity Start Date and the periodic annuity payments will be determined
using the correct Age and sex, if applicable.  If the age or sex, if applicable,
is corrected after annuity payments begin, we will:

     -  if underpayment has occurred, pay the full amount due with the next
scheduled payment;

     -  if overpayment has occurred, deduct the amount due us from future
payments, spread equally over the remaining payments.

BASIS OF VALUES - A detailed statement showing how values are determined has
been filed with the state insurance departments.  All values and reserves are at
least equal to those required by the laws of the state in which this Contract is
delivered.

DIVIDENDS - We do not expect dividends to become payable.  At the end or each
Contract Year, we will determine your dividend, if any.  You may choose to have
it paid in cash or added to your Accumulated Value.  If you do not make a
choice, we will add it to your Accumulated Value.  We will allocate any dividend
added to Accumulated Value in accordance with your most recent premium
allocation instructions, unless you instruct otherwise, subject to the five
investment alternatives limitation.  You should consult with your tax adviser
before making any election.

ASSIGNMENT - You may assign all rights and benefits under this Contract before
the Annuity Start Date. We are not bound by any assignment until we have
received written notice satisfactory to us.  We are not responsible for the
validity of any assignment.  If the Contract has been absolutely assigned, the
assignee
<PAGE>
 
becomes the Owner.  The person receiving the Contract as security does not
become the Owner.  You should consult with your tax adviser before taking any
action.

REPORTS - A report will be mailed to you at your last known address at the end
of each Contract Quarter prior to the Annuity Start Date.  This report will
include the following information for the Contract Quarter.

- - the Accumulated Value;

- - the Full Withdrawal Value;

- - any existing Contract Debt;

- - transactions that occurred during the Contract Quarter; and

- - any information required by law.

In addition to the above reports, a semi-annual and an annual report will also
be mailed to you.  These reports will contain financial statements for the
Separate account and the designated investment company or companies in which the
Separate Account invests.  The latter 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 required by federal securities
law.

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
Contract to comply with, or give you the benefit of, any federal or state
statute, rule, or regulation, including, but not limited to, requirements for
annuity contracts under the Internal Revenue Code or that of any state.

We will provide you with a copy of any such change, and will also file such a
change with the insurance supervisory official of the state in which this
Contract is delivered.

WHEN THIS CONTRACT ENDS - This Contract ends when any of the following events
occur:

     -  You request that this Contract end; or

     -  If the Contract's Full Withdrawal Value is zero; or

     -  Payment of the death benefit proceeds has occurred.

PREMIUMS

PREMIUMS - This Contract will not be in force until the initial premium is paid.
Additional premium payments must be at least $250.  Premiums may be paid at any
time prior to the Annuity Start Date, subject to the premium limitations shown
below.  Premiums are payable either at our Home Office or through an Agent of
PM.  Checks should be made payable to Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Company.  On
written request a premium receipt signed by an officer of PM will be provided
after payment.

PREMIUM ALLOCATION - During the Free Look Period, premiums received by us at our
Home Office will be allocated to the Money Market Variable Account.  We will
allocate the Accumulated Value in the Money Market Variable Account to the
Variable Accounts and Fixed Account fifteen days after the Contract is issued,
according to the premium allocation specified in the application or your most
recent instructions received by us, if any.
<PAGE>
 
Upon written notice, you may change the premium allocation.  Subsequent premiums
credited to your Contract 15 or more days after the Contract is issued will be
allocated to the Fixed and Variable Accounts according to your most recent
instructions, subject to the following.  The Accumulated Value may be allocated
to no more than five of the Fixed and Variable Accounts.  If we receive a
premium from you and your most recent allocation instructions would violate this
requirement, we will allocate the premium to the Fixed and Variable Accounts in
the same proportion as the Accumulated Value in those Accounts.

PREMIUM LIMITATIONS - Our prior approval is required before we will accept a
premium if, as a result, the sum of all premiums received for the Contract would
exceed $1,000,000.

Also, our prior approval is required to allocate a premium to the Fixed Account
if immediately after the premium allocation, the Accumulated Value in the Fixed
Account would equal or exceed $250,000.

DETERMINATION OF VALUES

ACCUMULATED VALUE - The Accumulated Value on any Valuation Date is the sum of
your Contract's Accumulated Value in the Fixed and Variable Accounts plus the
amount set aside in the Loan Account to secure any Contract Debt on that date.

LOAN ACCOUNT - The amount set aside to secure any Contract Debt in the Loan
Account on each Contract Anniversary is equal to the amount of debt.  During
each Contract Year, the amount in the Loan Account on any Valuation Date is:

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

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

     -  minus any loan amount repaid including withdrawal amounts for repayment,
        since the prior anniversary increased by interest.

FIXED ACCOUNT - The Accumulated Value in the Fixed Account on any Valuation Date
is:

     -  the Accumulated Value in the Fixed Account on the prior Monthly Payment
        Date increased by interest;

     -  minus any maintenance fee assessed against the Fixed Account.

     -  plus the amount of any premiums received and allocated to the Fixed
        Account since the last Monthly Payment Date increased by interest;

     -  minus any monthly deduction assessed against the Fixed Account, and
        other deductions due, if any, that are assessed against the Fixed
        Account increased by interest.

     -  minus any deductions caused by withdrawals or transfers from the Fixed
        Account, including transfers to the Loan Account, since the last Monthly
        Payment Date increased by interest; and

     -  plus the amount of any transfers of Accumulated Value to the Fixed
        Account, including transfers from the Loan Account, since the last
        Monthly Payment Date increased by interest.

VARIABLE ACCOUNTS - Assets in the Variable Accounts are divided into
Accumulation units, which are a unit of measure used to calculate the value of
your allocation in a Variable Account during the
<PAGE>
 
Accumulation Period.  We credit your Contract with accumulation units in each
Variable Account as a result of:

     -  any premiums 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 of Accumulated Value from the Variable Account, including
        transfers to the Loan Account;

     -  any deductions caused by withdrawals from the Variable Account;

     -  the monthly deduction and other deductions due, if any, that are
        assessed against the Variable Account; and

     -  any maintenance fee assessed against the Variable Account.

To determine the number of Accumulation units debited or credited in connection
with a transaction, we divide the dollar amount of the transaction by the
Accumulation unit value of the affected Variable Account. The number of
Accumulation units in the Variable Account will change only if Accumulation
units are debited or credited for the transactions above.

The Accumulation unit value of each Variable Account is determined on each
Valuation Date.  The number of units in each Variable Account will not change
because of subsequent changes in the Accumulation unit value.

The initial Accumulation unit value of each Variable Account was $10.  To
calculate the Accumulation unit value of a Variable Account on any Valuation
Date, we divide the value of the Variable Account's net assets by the total
number of Accumulation units credited to the Variable Account on that date.

To determine the value of the Variable Account's net assets, we take into
account:

     -  the investment performance of the Variable Account;

     -  any dividends or distributions paid to the Variable Account;

     -  the daily Mortality and Expense Risk charge, equal to .00003424658
        (1.25% annually) multiplied by the Accumulated Value in the Variable
        Account, for each calendar day on or between Valuation Dates; and

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

A Valuation Date is each day required by applicable law and currently includes
each day the New York Stock Exchange is open together with each day Pacific
Mutual is normally open for business.

To determine your Accumulated Value in each Variable Account, we multiply the
number of your Accumulation units in the Variable Account by the Accumulation
unit value of such Account.
<PAGE>
 
INTEREST - We will credit interest on the Accumulated Value in the Fixed Account
at a rate not less than .3273% per month, compounded monthly.  This is
equivalent to 4% annually.  At our discretion, we may credit a higher rate of
interest on the Fixed Account.  If we declare a higher rate, premiums allocated
or transfers made to the Fixed Account during the time the higher rate is in
effect are guaranteed to earn that rate until the end of the Contract Year.
Thereafter, higher rates that may be declared on such premiums or transfers and
the interest thereon will be guaranteed for at least one year.

We will credit interest on the amounts in the loan Account at the Loan Credited
Interest rate.  The effective annual Loan Credited Interest rate is equal to the
Loan Interest Rate charged minus 1.75%.

TRANSFER AND WITHDRAWAL BENEFITS

TRANSFERS - While the Annuitant is living and your Contract is in force prior to
the Annuity Start Date, you may, upon written notice, transfer your Accumulated
Value, or a part of it, among the Fixed and Variable Accounts subject to the
following:

     Only one transfer from the Fixed Account may be made in any twelve-month
     period. If the Accumulated Value in the Fixed Account is at least $1000,
     transfers from the Fixed Account will be limited to 20% of the Accumulated
     Value in the Fixed Account. Transfers from the Variable accounts to the
     Fixed Account may be made only during the Contract Month preceding each
     Contract Anniversary. After each transfer, Accumulated Value may be
     allocated to no more than five of the Fixed and Variable Accounts. No
     transfer may be made until 15 days after the Contract is issued.

     Also, our prior approval is required to allocate a transfer to the Fixed
     Account if, immediately after the transfer, the Accumulated Value of the
     Fixed Account would equal or exceed $250,000.

No charges are currently imposed upon a transfer.  WE reserve the right at a
future date to limit the size of transfers and remaining balances, to assess
transfer charges and to limit the number and frequency of transfers.

BAILOUT PROVISION - The first time the Fixed Account interest rate credited on
any premium or transfer allocated to the Fixed Account falls 1% or more below
the initial guaranteed rate for that premium or transfer, the limitations on
transfers from the Fixed Account will be waived for 60 days for that portion of
the Accumulated Value attributable to that premium or transfer.

WITHDRAWAL BENEFITS - During the Accumulation Period and after the Free Look
Period, you may request a Full or Partial Withdrawal from your Accumulated Value
while the Annuitant is living, and while your Contract is in force by sending us
written notice.  If you make a Full Withdrawal, this Contract must accompany
your written request.  If the Contract is lost, we require a signed lost
Contract form.  If you make a Full Withdrawal, this Contract will terminate and
any obligation we have under this Contract will be satisfied.  If you make a
Partial Withdrawal, the amount withdrawn must be at least $500 and the remaining
Full Withdrawal Value must be at least $500.  Any time a withdrawal is made, we
will deduct the amount of the withdrawal plus any applicable Withdrawal Charge
from the Accumulated Value proportionately to your Accumulated Value in each
Variable Account and the Fixed Account, unless otherwise requested by you.

Withdrawal proceeds less any charge for premium taxed, may be applied towards an
Annuity Option under this Contract or towards the purchase of any other annuity
option we then offer.

FULL WITHDRAWAL VALUE - This is the amount that will be paid upon a Full
Withdrawal.  The Full Withdrawal Value is the Accumulated value less any
maintenance fee due, less any Withdrawal Charge, if any, and less any amount in
the Loan Account.
<PAGE>
 
CONTRACT LOANS

CONTRACT LOANS - If your Contract is issued on a qualified basis under Section
401 of the Internal Revenue Code and if loans are allowed under your qualified
plan, you may obtain loans upon written notice after the first Contract Year and
prior to the Annuity Start Date, while the Annuitant is living and this Contract
is in force, on the sole security of the amount in the Loan Account for this
Contract.

AMOUNT AVAILABLE - The amount available for a loan will depend on your
Contract's Accumulated Value.  If the Accumulated Value is less than or equal to
$20,000, the maximum Loan Account valance immediately after any loan may not
exceed the lesser of 80% of the Contract's Accumulated value or $10,000.  If the
Accumulated Value is greater than $20,000, the maximum Loan Account balance
immediately after any loan may not exceed the lesser of 50% of the Contract's
Accumulated Value, or $50,000 reduced by the excess of (a) the highest
outstanding Contract Debt within the preceding 12 month period ending on the
date the loan is made over (b) the outstanding Contract Debt on the date the
loan is effective.  The amount of the loan must be at least $2,000.

LOAN INTEREST RATE - Except as described in the next paragraph, the Loan
Interest Rate is the higher of:

     -  the Moody's Corporate Bond Yield Average-Monthly Average Corporates, as
        published by Moody's Investors Service, Inc., or its successor, for the
        calendar month ending two months before the month in which each Contract
        Anniversary occurs; or

     -  5%.

The Loan Interest Rate applicable to your Contract will be determined annually
and will be effective for 12 months from each Contract Anniversary.  Loan
Interest will accrued daily.

     -  The interest rate we charge may be increased if the Loan Interest Rate
        increased by 1/2% or more from that charges in the preceding Contract
        Year.

     -  The interest rate we charge will be decreased if the Loan Interest Rate
        decreases by 1/2% or more from that charge in the preceding Contract
        Year.

     -  Any change in the interest rate will be effective on the Contract
        Anniversary.

     -  The revised interest rate will be charged on the entire outstanding loan
        during the Contract Year.

We will notify you of the current Loan Interest Rate on your Contract when:

     -  you make a loan on your Contract; or

     -  we increase the interest rate on any existing Contract Debt.

In the event that the Moody's Corporate Bond Yield Average-Monthly Average
Corporates is no longer published, we will use a substantially similar average
as established by regulation within the state in which this Contract is
delivered.

LOAN ACCOUNT - When a loan is taken, an amount equal to the loan amount is
transferred out of the Accumulated Value in the Fixed and Variable Accounts int
o the Loan Account to secure the loan.  Unless you request otherwise, loan
amounts will be deducted from the Variable Accounts and the Fixed Account on a
proportionate basis, up to the amount available.  We will credit interest
monthly on amounts in the Loan
<PAGE>
 
Account at the Loan Credited Interest rate.  The effective annual Loan Credited
Interest rate is equal to the Loan Interest Rate charged minus 1.75%.  On each
Contract Anniversary, the interest credited will be transferred from the Loan
Account to the Fixed and Variable Accounts according to your most recent premium
allocation instructions.

REPAYMENT - Loans must be repaid within 5 years and before the Annuity Start
Date, except loans used to purchase the principal residence of the Annuitant
must be repaid within 20 years and before the Annuity Start Date.

Repayment of loan principal plus accrued interest is required each Contract
Quarter.  Loan repayments will be due on the Contract Quarterly Anniversary next
following the date the loan is effective and on each succeeding Contract
Quarterly Anniversary thereafter.  Repayment must be received at our Home office
before the end of the Contract Month in which the due date falls.

If we do not receive the repayment before the end of the Contract Month in which
the due date falls, a Partial Withdrawal equal to the repayment amount due and
any applicable Withdrawal Charge will be made from the Contract and paid to us.
The date of the partial Withdrawal will be the Monthly Payment Date next
following the last day of the Contract Month in which the repayment was due.
The portion of the Partial Withdrawal equal to the unpaid principal amount due
will be deducted from the Loan Account.  The portion equal to the interest due
and any Withdrawal Charge imposed will be deducted from the Accumulated Value in
the Variable Accounts and Fixed Account on a proportionate basis.

If we receive a repayment in excess of a billed amount, the excess will be
applied first towards the principal portion of the outstanding loan and then to
any accrued interest.  Payments received by us which are less than the billed
amount will be returned to you.

Prepayment of the entire outstanding Contract Debt plus any interest due may be
made at any time prior to the Annuity Start Date and while this Contract is in
force.  At the time of the prepayment, we will bill you for any interest due.
We will consider the loan paid when this interest is also paid.  An amount equal
to the portion of any loan repaid, but not more than the amount in the Loan
Account, will be transferred from the Loan Account to the Fixed and Variable
accounts according to your most recent instructions.

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

DEATH BENEFITS

DEATH OF ANNUITANT - We will pay the death benefit proceeds to the Beneficiary
if the Annuitant dies prior to the Annuity Start Date unless there is a
surviving Joint or Contingent Annuitant.  In such event, the surviving Joint or
Contingent Annuitant becomes the Annuitant.  If the Annuitant dies at or after
Age 76, the death benefit will be the Accumulated Value as of the Valuation Date
due proof of death and instructions regarding payment are received by PM.  If
the Annuitant dies prior to Age 86, the death benefit will be the greater of (a)
the Accumulated Value as of the Valuation Date due proof of death and
instructions regarding payment are received by PM; or (b) the total premium paid
into the Contract less any deductions caused by previous partial withdrawals.
No Withdrawal Charge will be imposed.  The death benefit proceeds will be the
death benefit reduced by the amount in the Loan Account, if any.  Payment will
be made when we receive acceptable proof of death and instructions regarding
payment at our Home Office.  Instead of a lump sum payment, the amount of the
death benefit proceeds, less any applicable charge for premium taxes, may be
applied towards an Annuity Option under this Contract or towards the purchase of
any other annuity option we then offer.

DEATH OF OWNER - If the Owner dies while the Annuitant is living and prior to
the Annuity Start Date, we will pay the death benefit proceeds to the surviving
Joint or Contingent Owner, if any.  If there is no
<PAGE>
 
surviving Joint or Contingent Owner, the death benefit proceeds will be paid to
the Owner Beneficiary, if living, and otherwise to the Owner's estate.  If the
Owner is not also the Annuitant, then, in the event the deaths of the Owner and
Annuitant are under circumstances where it cannot be determined who died first,
payment will be made to the Beneficiary, if living; otherwise to the Annuitant's
estate.  If the Owner and the Annuitant are the same, payment will be made to
the Beneficiary, if living; otherwise to the Annuitant's estate.

The death benefit will be as stated above, except that the deceased Owner's Age,
instead of the Annuitant's will be used to determine the death benefit.

If the spouse of the deceased Owner is the Owner Beneficiary, or is the sole
surviving Joint or Contingent Owner, the spouse may continue this Contract in
force until the earliest of (a) the spouse's death, (b) the death of the
annuitant; or (c) the Annuity Start Date.

CHARGES

MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE - We deduct daily from the net assets of each
Variable Account a Mortality and Expense Risk Charge equal to an annual rate of
1.25% of the average daily net assets.  The Mortality and Expense Risk Charge is
to compensate us for the risk we assume that mortality and expenses will be
greater than estimated.  This Charge is guaranteed by us and may not be
increased.

MONTHLY DEDUCTION - A Monthly Deduction is due on each Monthly Payment Date
prior to the Annuity Start Date and is equal to the sum of the following items:

     -  the monthly Administrative Charge, if any; and

     -  the monthly charge for any rider benefits.

The Monthly Deduction will be charged to each Variable Account and the Fixed
Account in proportion to the Accumulated value in these accounts on each Monthly
Payment Date.

ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGE - Beginning on the Contract Date and monthly thereafter
during the Accumulation period, there will be a charge equal to the
Administrative Charge multiplied by the Accumulated Value reduced by any
Contract Debt and any monthly charge for rider benefits.  The Administrative
Charge is shown on the Contract Specifications pages.  We reserve the right to
impose an Administrative Charge on any Contract on which it is currently waived,
and to increase the charge, but in no event will the Administrative Charge
imposed exceed the annual rate of 0.15%.

MAINTENANCE FEE - The maintenance fee, if any, will be deducted on each Contract
Anniversary, proportionately to the Accumulated Value in each Variable Account
and the Fixed Account during the Accumulation Period.  At the time of any Full
Withdrawal or annuitization, the fee will be prorated for the portion of the
Contract Year that the Contract was in force.  The annual maintenance fee is
shown on the Contract Specifications pages.  We reserve the right to impose this
maintenance fee on any Contract on which it is currently waived, but in no event
will the annual fee exceed $30.00.

WITHDRAWAL CHARGE - No sales charges are deducted from the premium payments.
However a Withdrawal Charge, when applicable, may be assessed at the time of a
Partial or Full Withdrawal and, under certain instances, upon annuitization.

The amount of the Withdrawal Charge and when it is assessed is discussed below:

     1.  Order of withdrawal: To calculate the Withdrawal Charge, withdrawal
         amounts will be applied to premiums in order the premiums are received.
         Once all premiums have been
<PAGE>
 
         deemed withdrawn, additional amounts withdrawn will be applied to the
         remaining Accumulated Value.

     2.  Free withdrawal amount: Starting with the second Contract Year, the
         first withdrawal in each Contract Year of up to 10% of the sum of the
         premiums paid during the current and the preceding four Contract Years
         may be withdrawn without imposition of the Withdrawal Charge. This free
         withdrawal privilege is noncumulative.

The amount of the Withdrawal Charge varies according to the number of Contract
Years each premium deemed withdrawn has remained credited to the Contract.  To
determine the Age of the premium, the premium is considered Age 1 in the
Contract Year the premium is received and increases in Age each Contract
Anniversary thereafter.  The Withdrawal Charge percentages for each Age applied
to any premiums deemed withdrawn are shown on the Contract Specifications pages.
No charge is assessed on amounts withdrawn applied to premium payments credited
to the Contract over five Contract Years.

If a Full Withdrawal is requested, or upon annuitization except as described
below, the Contract's Accumulated Value including any amount in the Loan
Account, less any maintenance fee due, will be considered in determining any
Withdrawal Charge that may be assessed.

The amount of the withdrawal proceeds and the Withdrawal Charge, if any, will be
allocated proportionately to the Accumulated Value in each Variable Account and
the Fixed Account unless otherwise requested by you.

No Withdrawal Charge will be imposed in the event of death.  Upon annuitization,
a Charge may be imposed; however, no Withdrawal Charge will be imposed after the
first two Contract Years if:

     -  an Annuity Option under the Contract is elected and the annuity period
        is five years or longer; or

     -  proceeds are applied to purchase any other annuity option then offered
        by us and the annuity period is five years or longer.

In no event will the Withdrawal Charge assessed, when added to prior Withdrawal
Charges, ever exceed 6% of the total premiums paid.

PREMIUM TAX CHARGE - If applicable, any charge for premium taxes that a state or
local government charges us which is not refundable, will be deducted from your
Accumulated Value on the Annuity Start Date or if you request a Full Withdrawal.
Premium taxes currently range from 0% to 3%, but may be changed by a government
entity.  We reserve the right to deduct premium taxes when due.

DELAY OF PAYMENTS

VARIABLE ACCOUNTS - We will pay death benefit proceeds, Full and Partial
Withdrawal proceeds, loan amounts, and proceeds on the Annuity Start Date based
on Accumulated Value in the Variable Accounts, and will effect a transfer
between Variable Accounts or from a Variable Account to the Fixed Account,
within seven days after we receive all the information needed to process a
payment or transfer.

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

     -  The New York Stock Exchange is closed on other than customary weekend
        and holiday closings or trading on the New York Stock Exchange is
        restricted as determined by the Securities and Exchange Commission
        (SEC); or
<PAGE>
 
     -  An emergency exists, as determined by the SEC, as a result of which
        disposal of securities is not reasonably practicable to determine the
        value of the Account assets; or

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

FIXED ACCOUNT - As to amounts allocated to the Fixed Account, we may defer
payment of any Full or Partial Withdrawal proceeds or loan amounts, or defer
transfers from the Fixed Account for up to six months after we receive your
written request for it.  We will credit interest, at a rate of at least 4%
annually, on any withdrawal proceeds or loan amounts derived from the Fixed
Account that we defer for 30 days or more. However, we will not defer payment of
any such amounts if they are to be used to pay premiums on any policies issued
by PM.

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 Contract and other variable annuity contracts.  Assets may be put
in our Separate Account for other purposes, but not to support contracts other
than variable annuity contracts.

The assets of our Separate Account are our property.  The portion of its assets
equal to the reserves and other Contract liabilities with respect to our
Separate Account will not be chargeable with liabilities arising out of any
other business we conduct.  We may transfer assets of a Variable Account in
excess of the reserves and other liabilities with respect to that Account to
another Variable Account or to our general account.  All obligations arising
under the Contract are general corporate obligations of PM.  We do not hold
ourselves out to be trustees of the Separate Account assets.

VARIABLE ACCOUNTS - Each Variable Account may invest its assets in a separate
class of shares of a designated investment company or companies.  The Variable
Accounts of our Separate Account that were available for your initial
allocations are shown on the Contract Specifications pages.  The allocations
that you initially chose are shown on the copy of the application attached to
this Contract.  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 the Separate Account under the Investment Company
        Act of 1940;

     -  operate the Separate Account as a managed investment company;

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

     -  run the Separate Account under the direction of a committee, boar or
        other group;

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

     -  comply with law.

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

We will not change the investment policy of the Separate Account without the
approval of the insurance Commissioner in the State of California and without
following the filing and other procedures established by insurance regulators of
the state of issue, with whom the approval process is on file.

ANNUITY BENEFITS

If the Annuitant is living while this Contract is in force on the Annuity Start
Date, we will begin making periodic annuity payments to the Annuitant.  We will
make these payments under the Annuity Option chosen by you.  You may choose or
change an Annuity Option by making a written request at least 30 days prior to
the Annuity Start Date.  Unless you have chosen otherwise, we will make payments
under Option 1 with payments certain for 10 years if a single Annuitant is
named.  If Joint Annuitants are named, a joint and 50% last survivor annuity
under Option 3 will apply.

Before we pay any annuity benefits, we require the return of this Contract.  If
the Contract is lost, we require a signed lost Contract form.

FREQUENCY - You choose the frequency of the annuity payments.  This may be
monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually.  If we do not receive written
notice from you, the payments will be made monthly.  The amount of each payment
must be at least $50.00 we will change the frequency if it is less.

We may require proof that the payee is alive prior to making any payment.  We
may also require proof of the payee's birthdate and sex, unless this Contract is
issued on a unisex basis, before making any payment under Options 1, 2 and 3.

While the Contrast is in force and before the Annuity Start Date, you may choose
an Annuity Option for the payment of death benefit proceeds.  If, at the time of
the Annuitant's or Owner's death, no option has been chosen for paying the death
benefit proceeds, the Beneficiary, or Joint or Contingent Owner, or Owner
Beneficiary, as applicable, may choose an Annuity Option.  You may also elect an
Annuity Option for payment of Partial Withdrawal or Full Withdrawal proceeds.

The proceeds, less any applicable charge for premium taxes, may also be used to
purchase any other annuity option then offered by us.  We reserve the right to
pay any proceeds under the Contract in a lump sum if the proceeds are less than
$10,000.

Any proceeds applied towards an Annuity Option under the Contract, or any
annuity option then offered by us, will be transferred to our general account.
The general account contains all of our assets other than those allocated to the
Separate Account or to any other separate account of PM.

OPTION 1 - LIFE INCOME WITH GUARANTEED PAYMENT PERIOD - Proceeds may be applied
to provide payments in equal installments as long as the payee lives, with a
guaranteed payment period of 10 or 20 years, as elected.  If the payee dies
during the guaranteed period chosen, payments will continue to be made to the
Beneficiary until the end of the period.  The amount of the income will be based
on the payee's

Age and sex, unless unisex rates are applicable, and our purchase rates then in
effect.  However, the monthly income purchased per $1000 will not be less than

OPTION 4 - FIXED PAYMENT FOR SPECIFIED PERIOD - Proceeds may be applied to
provide payments in equal installments for a specified period.  If the payee
dies during the specified period, the discounted value of the remaining unpaid
payments based on the interest rate that we use to determine the amount of each
payment, will be paid to the Beneficiary.  The amount of the income will be
based on the period elected and our purchase rates then in effect.  However, the
monthly income purchased per $1,000 will not be less than that shown in the
following table:

OPTION 5 - FIXED PAYMENT OF A SPECIFIC AMOUNT - Proceeds may be applied to
provide payments of the installment amount elected by you until the proceeds
applied and the interest thereon are exhausted.  If the payee dies before all
guaranteed payments have been made, the discounted value of the remaining unpaid
payments, based on the interest rate that we use to determine the amount of each
payment, will be paid to the Beneficiary.  The interest rate we use to determine
payments will be at least 4% annually.

Amounts shown for Options 1, 2 and 3 are based on the 1983 Table a, with
interest at 4%.  Amounts shown for Option 4 are based on interest at 4%.  You
may also choose to have proceeds paid under any other annuity option we then
offer.  We will let you know what these are upon request.

                        PREAUTHORIZED WITHDRAWAL FEATURE

This endorsement becomes a part of the Variable Annuity Contract (Form 90-53) to
which it is attached.

PREAUTHORIZED WITHDRAWAL FEATURE - You may request preauthorized Scheduled
Partial Withdrawals from your Contract during the Accumulation Period and after
the Free look Period while it is in force. All requests must be in writing.
Withdrawal payments will be deducted from your Accumulated Value. The
Withdrawals may be made either monthly, quarterly, semiannually or annually, and
may be stopped or modified upon written request received by us at least 30 days
in advance.  Scheduled partial Withdrawals will be based on the Accumulated
Value at the end of the valuation period during which the Withdrawal is
scheduled.  A Withdrawal Charge may be imposed on Scheduled Partial Withdrawals.
No Withdrawal Charge will be imposed on Scheduled Partial Withdrawal payments to
the extent your total withdrawals in the Contract Year during which the
Withdrawals are made do not exceed 10% of the sum of the premiums paid during
the current and the preceding four Contract Years.

Any time a Scheduled Partial Withdrawal is made, we will deduct from the
Accumulated Value the amount of the Withdrawal plus the applicable Withdrawal
Charge, if any.  The deduction from the Accumulated Value will be made
proportionately to your Accumulated Value in each Variable Account and the Fixed
Account.  Any charge for premium taxes that a state or other government charges
us as a result of the Withdrawal will be deducted from the Withdrawal proceeds.
The minimum amount for any preauthorized Scheduled Partial Withdrawal is $100.
We reserve the right at a future date to increase the minimum amount for any
Scheduled Partial Withdrawals, to impose or increase minimum remaining balances,
and to limit the number and frequency of requests for stopping or modifying
Scheduled Partial Withdrawals.  Any Scheduled Partial Withdrawal that equals or
exceeds the Full Withdrawal Value will be treated as a Full Withdrawal.  In no
event will the payment of a Scheduled Partial Withdrawal exceed the Full
Withdrawal Value, less any charge for premium taxes.  The Contract will
automatically terminate if a Scheduled Partial Withdrawal causes the resulting
Full Withdrawal Value to equal zero.

We will pay Scheduled Partial Withdrawal proceeds within seven days after the
valuation period during which the Withdrawal is scheduled.  However, we may
postpone the processing or payment of such payment based on the investment
performance of the Variable Accounts and defer payment of amounts allocated to
the Fixed Account in accordance with the Delay of Payments Section of your
Contract.

                                  ENDORSEMENT

THIS ENDORSEMENT IS PART OF YOUR VARIABLE ANNUITY CONTRACT (FORM 90-53) AND
SHOULD BE ATTACHED TO IT.

The Death of Annuitant provision is hereby replaced by the following:

DEATH OF ANNUITANT -- We will pay the death benefit proceeds to the Beneficiary
if the Annuitant dies prior to the Annuity Start Date unless there is a
surviving Joint or Contingent Annuitant.  In such event, the surviving Joint or
Contingent Annuitant becomes the Annuitant.  The death benefit will be the
greater of (a) the Accumulated Value as of the Valuation Date due proof of death
and instructions regarding payment are received by PM; or (b) the total premiums
paid into the Contract less any deductions caused by previous Partial
Withdrawals; or (c) the Minimum Guaranteed Death Benefit for Contract Years six
and later.  No Withdrawal Charge will be imposed.  The death benefit proceeds
will be the death benefit reduced by the amount in the Loan Account, if any.
Payment will be made when we receive acceptable proof of death and instructions
regarding payment at our Home Office.  Instead of a lump sum payment, the amount
of the death benefit proceeds, less any applicable charge for premium taxes, may
be applied towards an Annuity Option under this Contract or towards the purchase
of any other annuity option we then offer.

Minimum Guaranteed Death Benefit (MGDB) -- Starting in Contract Year six to
Contract Year eleven, the MGDB is the Accumulated Value at the fifth Contract
Anniversary, less any deductions caused by Partial Withdrawals and increased by
any premium payments received since the fifth Contract Anniversary.  The MGDB is
adjusted on the tenth Contract Anniversary and each succeeding fifth Contract
Anniversary to the greater of the most recent MGDB or the Accumulated Value as
of such anniversary, and during the next following five year interval is
decreased by any deductions caused by Partial Withdrawals and increase by any
premium payments since such fifth Contract Anniversary.  After the Contract year
in which the Annuitant reaches age 85, the MGDB will no longer be adjusted on
each fifth Contract anniversary, but it will still be adjusted for deductions
caused by Partial Withdrawals and for premium payments.

The Withdrawal Charge provision is hereby modified by adding the following
paragraph before the last paragraph of the provision.

No Withdrawal Charge will be imposed if the Annuitant has been diagnosed with a
medically determinable condition which results in a life expectancy of 12 months
or less.  The following conditions must be met on or before the Withdrawal
request is made:

     -- A request can be made anytime after the first Contract Anniversary.

     -- The Contract must be in force on the date the request is approved.

     -- We must receive written proof satisfactory to us that the Annuitant's
        life expectancy is 12 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 blood relative residing in the same household.
        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.

     -- Owner or legal guardian must apply in writing for this benefit on a
        form supplied by us.

     -- Written consent from any assignee must be obtained.

Valuation Date due proof of the Annuitant's death and instructions regarding
payment to the Beneficiary are received by PM.

BENEFIT AMOUNT - The Benefit Amount for this rider will be the difference of 1.
minus 2. where:

1. is the Accumulated Value of the Contract to which this rider is attached on

pages.

2.  is the Guaranteed Death Benefit Charge that would have been charged for the

Individual Retirement Annuity Rider
<PAGE>
 
INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ANNUITY RIDER

This rider is a part of the Contract to which it is attached by PM.

The Contract under which it has been issued is hereby modified as specified
below in order to qualify as an Individual Retirement Annuity under the terms of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the Code) as amended.

DEFINITIONS

ANNUITANT - is the individual named to receive periodic annuity payments
purchased under this Contract.

ANNUITY START DATE - is the date you choose to have PM begin periodic annuity
payments to the Annuitant.  The Annuity Start Date may be no later than April 1
of the Calendar Year following the year in which the Annuitant reaches Age 70
1/2.

CONTINGENT ANNUITANT - is the individual who becomes the Annuitant if the
Annuitant dies before periodic annuity payments purchased under this Contract
begin.  Only the spouse of the Annuitant may be named the Contingent Annuitant.

CONTINGENT OWNER - is the individual who becomes the Owner if you die before
periodic annuity payments purchased under this Contract begin.  Only the spouse
of the Annuitant may be named Contingent Owner.

DESIGNATED BENEFICIARY - is the individual designated as a beneficiary by the
Annuitant.

The provisions of this rider will control if in conflict with those of the
Contract.  Notwithstanding any provisions in the Contract to the contrary:

1.  THE ANNUITANT WILL AT ALL TIMES BE THE OWNER OF THE CONTRACT.  The Owner's
rights under the Contract shall be nonforfeitable and for the exclusive benefit
of the Owner and his or her beneficiaries.

2.  No benefits under the Contract may be transferred, sold, assigned, or
pledged as collateral for a loan, or as security for the performance of an
obligation, or for any other purpose, to any person; except that the Contract
may be transferred to a former spouse of the Owner under a divorce decree or
written instrument incident to such divorce.  In the event of such transfer, the
transferee shall for all purposes be treated as the Owner under this Contract.

3.  Except in the case of a "rollover contribution" as described in Sections
402(a)(5), 402(a)(6), 402(a)(7), 403(a)(4), 403(b)(8) or 408(d)(3) of the Code,
or an employer contribution to a Simplified Employee Pension as defined in
Section 408(k) of the Code, the premium paid under this Contract shall not
exceed $2,000 for any taxable year, or such other maximum as the Code may allow,
and must be paid in cash.
<PAGE>
 
4.  Additional premium payments under the Contract must be at least $50.  This
limit replaces the minimum limit stated in the Premiums provision of the
Contract.

5.  If this Contract is issued as part of a Simplified Employee Pension, the
premium paid under this Contract shall not exceed $30,000 or 15% of your
compensation, whichever is less, or such other maximum as the Code may allow,
and must be paid in cash.

6.  Any premium refund declared by PM, other than refunds attributable to excess
contributions will be applied toward the purchase of additional benefits before
the close of the Calendar Year following the refund.

7.  In accordance with Regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury,
or his delegate pursuant to the Code "Regulations", the entire interest under
the Contract must be distributed to the Owner

(a) not later than the April 1st next following the close of the Calendar Year
in which the Owner attains age 70-1/2 (the Required Beginning Date), or

(b) commencing not later than the Required Beginning Date in equal or
substantially equal amounts, in annual or more frequent installments, over

(i) the Owner's life or the lives of the Owner and his or her Designated
Beneficiary, or

(ii) a period not exceeding the Owner's life expectancy or the joint and last
survivor life expectancy of the Owner and his or her Designated Beneficiary,

(c) If the Owner's entire interest is to be distributed in other than a lump
sum, then the amount to be distributed each year, commencing with the Required
Beginning Date and then for each succeeding Calendar Year, shall not be less
than the quotient obtained by dividing the Owner's entire interest by the lesser
of

(i) the applicable life expectancy; or

(ii) if the Owner's spouse is not the Designated Beneficiary, the applicable
divisor determined from the table set forth in Q&A-4 of Section 1.401(a)(9)-2 of
the proposed Income Tax Regulations. Distributions after the death of the Owner
shall be calculated using the applicable life expectancy as the relevant divisor
without regard to the proposed Regulation Section 1-401(a)(9)-2.

The preceding paragraph shall not apply if distribution is in the form of an
annuity with non-increasing payments.

Life expectancy is computed by use of the expected return multiples in Tables V
and VI of Section 1.72-9 of the Income Tax Regulations.  Unless otherwise
elected by the Owner by the time distributions are required to begin, life
expectancy shall be recalculated annually.  Such election shall be irrevocable
as to the Owner and shall apply to all subsequent years.  The life expectancy of
a non-
<PAGE>
 
spouse Beneficiary may not be recalculated.  Instead, life expectancy will
be calculated using the attained age of such Beneficiary during the Calendar
year in which distributions are required to begin pursuant to this section, and
payments for subsequent years shall be calculated based on such life expectancy
reduced by one for each Calendar Year which has elapsed since the Calendar Year
life expectancy was first calculated.

(d) If the Owner's spouse is not the Designated Beneficiary, the form of Annuity
elected must assure that at least 50% of the value of the Contract available for
distribution is payable within the Owner's life expectancy.

(e) The method of distribution shall be made in accordance with the requirements
of Section 401(a)(9) of the Code and the Regulations thereunder.  Further the
method selected must meet the "minimum distribution incidental benefit" rule of
Code Section 401(a)(9), and the proposed Regulation Section 1.401(a)(9)-2.  This
includes the following;

(i)  where the Owner's only Designated Beneficiary is the spouse, the minimum
amount that must be distributed in a distribution Calendar Year is the amount
determined under the regular minimum distribution requirements in this Section
7.

(ii) where the distributions are not made as annuity payments under an annuity
Contract and where the Owner's spouse is not the Designated Beneficiary, the
minimum amount that must be distributed in a distribution Calendar Year is the
quotient obtained by dividing the Owner's entire interest by the joint and last
survivor expectancy described in the proposed Regulation Section 1.401(a)(9)-2.

(iii) where distribution is to be made under an annuity Contract purchased on or
before the Owner's Required Beginning Date and the Owner's spouse is not the
Designated Beneficiary, the minimum amount that must be distributed is
determined as follows:

- - Period certain annuity without a life contingency: The period certain may not
exceed the appropriate joint and last survivor expectancy described in the
proposed Regulation Section 1.401(a)(9)-2.

- - Life annuity or a joint and survivor annuity: A life annuity on the Owner's
life which satisfies the regular minimum distribution requirements satisfies the
"minimum distribution incidental benefit" rule.  The periodic annuity payment to
the survivor under a joint and survivor annuity may not exceed the applicable
percentage of the annuity payment to the Owner.  These percentages are defined
in the proposed Regulation Section 1.401(a)(9)-2.

- - Life annuity with period certain: The distribution must satisfy the
requirements for a single life (or joint and survivor) annuity and the period
certain may not exceed the period determined for nonannuity distributions.

Only a method of distribution offered by PM that satisfies these conditions can
be selected.  You must make this selection before the end of the Calendar Year
in which you attain age 70-1/2.
<PAGE>
 
8.  On the death of the Owner, distribution shall be made in accordance with the
annuity options described in the Contract.  However, selection of an annuity
option which does not satisfy the conditions of this Section 8 shall not be
permitted.

If the Owner dies before distribution of his or her interest in the Contract
commences, the entire interest should be distributed by December 31st of the
fifth full year which follows the Owner's death unless (i) such interest is paid
in equal or substantially equal installments over a period not exceeding the
lifetime, or the life expectancy, of the Designated Beneficiary, and (ii)
payments begin by December 31st of the Calendar Year which follows the Owner's
death.

If the Designated Beneficiary of the Owner is the Owner's surviving spouse, the
spouse may elect to receive equal or substantially equal payments over the life
or life expectancy of the surviving spouse commencing at any date prior to the
later of (1) December 31 of the Calendar Year immediately following the Calendar
Year in which the Owner died and (2) December 31 of the Calendar Year in which
the Owner would have attained age 70-1/2.  Such election must be made no later
than the earlier of December 31 of the Calendar Year containing the fifth
anniversary of the Owner's death or the date distributions are required to begin
pursuant to the preceding sentence.  The surviving spouse may accelerate these
payments at any time i.e., increase the frequency or amount of such payments.

If the surviving spouse is the Designated Beneficiary, the spouse may convert
this Individual Retirement Annuity to the spouse's own Individual Retirement
Annuity by requesting that he or she be made the Annuitant.  If the spouse so
requests, the spouse shall be Owner and Annuitant for purposes of applying the
restrictions contained in this rider.

For purposes of the above, life expectancy is computed by use of the expected
return multiples in Tables V and VI of Section 1.72-9 of the Income Tax
Regulations.  For purposes of distributions beginning after the Owner's death,
unless otherwise elected by the surviving spouse by the time distributions are
required to begin, life expectancies shall be recalculated annually.  Such
election shall be irrevocable as to the surviving spouse and shall apply to all
subsequent years.  In the case of any other Designated Beneficiary, life
expectancies shall be calculated using the attained age of such Beneficiary
during the Calendar Year in which distributions are required to begin pursuant
to this section, and payments for any subsequent Calendar Year shall be
calculated based on such life expectancy reduced by one for each Calendar Year
which has elapsed since the Calendar Year life expectancy was first calculated.

Any amount paid to a child of the Owner will be treated as if it had been paid
to the surviving spouse if the remainder of the interest becomes payable to the
surviving spouse when the child reaches the age of majority.

If the Owner dies after distribution of his or her interest in the Contract has
commenced, the remaining interest will be distributed at least as rapidly as
under the method of distribution being used prior to the Owner's death.

If the Owner dies before his or her entire interest has been distributed to him
or her, no additional
<PAGE>
 
cash contributions or "rollover contributions" shall be accepted.

9.  No one other than the spouse of the Owner may be named as the Contingent
Annuitant and or the Contingent Owner.  If the Owner dies, the Contingent
Annuitant shall be treated as the Annuitant for purposes of applying the
restrictions contained in this rider.

If, despite the restrictions contained in this rider, someone other than the
spouse is named as a Contingent Annuitant, such person shall be treated as the
Primary Beneficiary under the Contract.

10.  PM shall furnish annual Calendar Year reports concerning the status of the
Contract.

11.  PM reserves the right to amend this rider to comply with future changes in
the Internal Revenue Code and any regulations or rulings issued under the
provisions of the Code.  PM shall provide the Owner of the Contract with a copy
of any such amendment.

QUALIFIED PENSION PLAN RIDER

This rider is a part of the Contract to which it is attached by PM.

The Contract is hereby modified as specified below in order to comply with the
requirements for Qualified Pension and Profit Sharing Plans, as described in
Section 401(a)(9) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (The Code) as amended.

THE PROVISIONS OF SECTIONS 1-9 OF THIS RIDER SHALL TAKE EFFECT ONLY IF THE
ANNUITANT IS, OR BECOMES, THE OWNER.

DEFINITIONS

ANNUITANT - is the individual named to receive periodic annuity payments
purchased under this Contract.

ANNUITY START DATE - is the date you choose to have PM begin periodic annuity
payments to the Annuitant.  The Annuity Start Date may be no later than April 1
of the calendar year following the year in which the Annuitant reaches age 70
1/2.

DESIGNATED BENEFICIARY - is any individual designated as a beneficiary under the
Plan by the Annuitant.  If a person other than an individual (but not a trust
that satisfies the conditions stated in 1.401(a)(9)-1 of the Code) is designated
a Beneficiary, or if the plan permits any person to change the Annuitant's
beneficiaries after his or her death, other than a designation made by the
surviving spouse for distributions after the spouse's death, the Annuitant will
be treated as having no Designated Beneficiary.

PLAN - means the qualified employee benefit plan under which this Contract is
issued.

The provisions of this rider will control if in conflict with those of the
Contract.  Notwithstanding any provisions of the Contract to the contrary:

1.  Automatic Form of Payment at the Annuity Start Date.

If the Annuitant is legally married at the Annuity Start Date, unless an
optional form of benefit is selected in accordance with Section 2 below,
payments will be made in the form of a Joint and 50% Survivor Annuity, with the
Annuitant's spouse as the joint annuitant.  Under this form, payments will be
made during the lifetime of the Annuitant and, following the Annuitant's death,
payments equal to 50% of the original payment amount will continue to the spouse
for life.  The Annuitant may choose without the consent of any other individual,
from the options offered by PM, the amount of the payment continuing to the
Annuitant's spouse.  The amount of each payment to the spouse will be not less
than one half of, nor greater than, the periodic annuity benefit paid to the
Annuitant.

If the Annuitant is not legally married at the Annuity Start Date, payments will
be made in the form of a life annuity with a 10 year period certain unless an
optional form of payment is selected in
<PAGE>
 
accordance with Section 2 below.  Under this form, payments will be made to the
Annuitant for life. If the Annuitant dies before the end of the Guaranteed
Period, payments will continue to the Designated Beneficiary until the end of
the Guaranteed Period.

2.  Optional Forms of Annuity Payment.

The Annuitant can elect an optional form of payment as provided in the Contract,
provided:

(a) the Annuitant files a Qualified Election with the Company within the 90 day
period ending on the date income commences;

(b) the form selected ensures that the present value of payments PM expects to
pay over the lifetime of the Annuitant is not less than 51% of the present value
of all payments we expect to make under the Contract.  To determine whether 51%
of the present value of benefits will be paid during the Annuitant's lifetime,
his or her life expectancy will be measured from either the Annuitant's Normal
Retirement Date, or the actual retirement date, whichever is later, but in no
event later than the Annuity Start Date; and

(c) the option selected satisfies the requirements of Section 4 below.

Life expectancies will be calculated using the expected return multiples
contained in Section 1.72 9 of the Income Tax Regulations.

3.  Qualified Election

In the case of a married Annuitant, "Qualified Election" means a written
statement by the Annuitant waiving the Joint and Survivor Annuity option and
specifying the form of payment desired, and a written statement from the spouse
consenting to the Annuitant's election.  The form of payment chosen cannot be
changed without spousal consent unless the spouse consents to future
designations by the Annuitant without spousal consent.  The spouse's consent
must be witnessed by a notary public.  If the spouse's consent cannot be
obtained because the spouse cannot be located, the Annuitant's election will
still be deemed to be a Qualified Election.

In the case of an unmarried Annuitant, "Qualified Election" means a written
statement by the Annuitant attesting to the fact that he or she is not married,
and which specifies the optional form of payment desired.

4.  Required Beginning Date and Minimum Distribution Requirements

In accordance with the requirements of the Code, distribution of the entire
interest should be made not later than the April 1 following the close of the
calendar year in which the Annuitant attains age 70 1/2.  (The Required
Beginning Date.)

Alternatively, if distribution of the entire interest commences not later than
the Required Beginning Date, such distribution may be made in equal or
substantially equal amounts, in annual or more
<PAGE>
 
frequent installments, over

(a) the Annuitant's life or the lives of the Annuitant and his or her Designated
Beneficiary, or

(b) a period not extending beyond the Annuitant's life expectancy or the joint
and last survivor life expectancy of the Annuitant and his or her Designated
Beneficiary.

The method of distribution selected must also meet the "minimum distribution
incidental benefit" rule of Code Section 401(a)(9) and Regulation Section
1.401(a)(9)-2 of the Code.  This requires that:

(a) where the Annuitant's only Designated Beneficiary is the spouse, the minimum
amount that must be distributed in a distribution calendar year is the amount
determined under the regular minimum distribution requirements above in this
Section 4.

(b) where payments are to be made under an annuity Contract purchased on or
before the Annuitant's Required Beginning Date and the Annuitant's spouse is not
the Designated Beneficiary, the minimum amount that must be distributed is
determined as follows:

- - Period certain annuity without a life contingency: The period certain may not
exceed the appropriate joint and last survivor expectancy described in
Regulation Section 1.401(a)(9)-2 of the Code.

- - Life annuity: A life annuity on the Annuitant's life which satisfies the
regular minimum distribution requirements satisfies the "minimum distribution
incidental benefit" rule.

- - Joint and survivor annuity: The periodic annuity payment to the survivor under
a joint and survivor annuity, may not exceed the applicable percentage of the
annuity payment to the Annuitant.  These percentages are defined in Regulation
Section 1.401(a)(9)-2.

- - Life annuity with period certain: The distribution must satisfy the
requirements for a single life (or joint and survivor) annuity as well as for a
period certain annuity without a life contingency.

Only a method of distribution offered by PM that satisfies these conditions can
be selected.  You must make this selection before the end of the calendar year
in which you attain age 70 1/2.

5.  Beneficiary for Death Benefit Proceeds Prior to Annuity Start Date

If the Annuitant dies prior to the Annuity Start Date and is married at the date
of death, the Death Benefit Proceeds will be paid to the surviving spouse,
unless the Annuitant names another beneficiary and the spouse consents in
writing to such designation.  The spouse's consent must be witnessed by a notary
public.  For this purpose, the consent of an individual who was married to the
Annuitant at the time consent was given but is not married to the Annuitant at
the date of death will not be considered the consent of the spouse.

If the Annuitant is not legally married at the date of death, or designates (as
provided above)
<PAGE>
 
someone other than the spouse as beneficiary, the Death Benefit Proceeds shall
be paid to the Designated Beneficiary.

6.  Payment of Death Benefit

On the death of the Annuitant, payment shall be made in accordance with the
Annuity option provisions described in the Contract or as provided for by the
Plan.  However, selection of an annuity option that does not satisfy the
conditions of this Section 6 shall not be permitted.

(a)  Death Before the Annuity Start Date

If the Annuitant dies before distribution of his or her interest in the Contract
commences, the entire interest must be distributed by December 31st of the fifth
full year which follows the Annuitant's death unless (i) such interest is paid
in equal or substantially equal installments over a period not exceeding the
lifetime or life expectancy of the Designated Beneficiary, and (ii) payments
begin by December 31st of the calendar year which follows the Annuitant's death.
If the Designated Beneficiary of the Annuitant is the Annuitant's surviving
spouse, the spouse may elect to receive equal or substantially equal payments
over the life or life expectancy of the surviving spouse commencing at any date
prior to the close of the calendar year in which the deceased Annuitant would
have attained age 70 1/2, if later.  The surviving spouse may accelerate these
payments at any time, i.e., increase the frequency or amount of such payments.
However, if the spouse elects to receive the entire interest as a lump sum, such
amount must be received by December 31st of the fifth full year which follows
the Annuitant's death.

If the surviving spouse dies before payments begin, subsequent distributions
shall be made as if the spouse had been the Annuitant.  In such event, the rules
in this Section 6 apply using the date of death of the surviving spouse rather
than that of the Annuitant.

(b)  Death After the Annuity Start Date

If the Annuitant dies after distribution of his or her interest in the plan has
commenced, the remaining interest will be distributed at least as rapidly as
under the method of distribution in effect at the time of the Annuitant's death.

7.  Withdrawal or Loan of Annuity Value Before the Annuity Start Date

If the Annuitant is married, withdrawal or loan of all or a portion of the
annuity value prior to the Annuity Start Date will be permitted subject to the
consent of the spouse.  Such consent must be in writing and must be witnessed by
a notary public.

If the Annuitant is not married, withdrawal will be permitted subject to written
notice to PM that the Annuitant is not married.  The Term Annuity Value as used
in this rider shall mean the appropriate value described in the Contract that
the Contract Owner is entitled to withdraw or borrow.

8.  Nontransferable
<PAGE>
 
No benefits under this Contract may be transferred, sold, alienated, assigned,
discounted, subject to garnishment or execution, or pledged as collateral for a
loan, or as security for the performance of an obligation or for any other
purpose, to any person other than to PM, except as may be provided by a
Qualified Domestic Relations Order within the meaning of Section 414 of the
Code.

9.  Change of Annuitant

The Owner shall not be permitted to change the Annuitant.

10.  Trustee Owned Contracts

While this Contract is owned by the trustee of a plan described in section
401(a) of the Code, the Death Before the Annuity Start Date provision of Section
6 may not apply.

11.  Amendment

PM reserves the right to amend this rider to comply with future changes in the
Internal Revenue Code and any regulations or rulings issued under the provisions
of the Code.  PM shall provide the Owner of the Contract with a copy of any such
amendment.

Endorsement
(Preauthorized Withdrawal Feature)
<PAGE>
 
ENDORSEMENT

PREAUTHORIZED WITHDRAWAL FEATURE

This endorsement becomes a part of the contract to which it is attached.

PREAUTHORIZED WITHDRAWAL FEATURE - You may request preauthorized Scheduled
Partial Withdrawals from your Contract during the Accumulation Period and after
the Free Look Period while it is in force.  All requests must be in writing.
Withdrawal payments will be deducted from your Accumulated Value.  The
Withdrawals may be made either monthly, quarterly, semiannually or annually, and
may be stopped or modified upon written request received by us at least 30 days
in advance.  Scheduled Partial Withdrawals will be based on the Accumulated
Value at the end of the valuation period during which the Withdrawal is
scheduled.  A Withdrawal Charge may be imposed on Scheduled Partial Withdrawals.
No Withdrawal Charge will be imposed on Scheduled Partial Withdrawal payments to
the extent your total withdrawals in the Contract Year during which the
Withdrawals are made do not exceed 10% of the sum of the premiums paid during
the current and the preceding four Contract Years.

Any time a Scheduled Partial Withdrawal is made, we will deduct from the
Accumulated Value the amount of the Withdrawal plus the applicable Withdrawal
Charge, if any.  The deduction from the Accumulated Value will be made
proportionately to your Accumulated Value in each Variable Account and the Fixed
Account.  Any charge for premium taxes that a state or other government charges
us as a result of the Withdrawal will be deducted from the Withdrawal proceeds.
The minimum amount for any preauthorized Scheduled Partial Withdrawal is $100.
We reserve the right at a future date to increase the minimum amount for any
Scheduled Partial Withdrawals, to impose or increase minimum remaining balances,
and to limit the number and frequency of requests for stopping or modifying
Scheduled Partial Withdrawals.  Any Scheduled Partial Withdrawal that equals or
exceeds the Full Withdrawal Value will be treated as a Full Withdrawal.  In no
event will the payment of a Scheduled Partial Withdrawal exceed the Full
Withdrawal Value, less any charge for premium taxes.  The Contract will
automatically terminate if a Scheduled Partial Withdrawal causes the resulting
Full Withdrawal Value to equal zero.

We will pay Scheduled Partial Withdrawal proceeds within seven days after the
valuation period during which the Withdrawal is scheduled.  However, we may
postpone the processing or payment of such payment based on the investment
performance of the Variable Accounts and defer payment of amounts allocated to
the Fixed Account in accordance with the Delay of Payments Section of your
Contract.

The TRANSFER AND WITHDRAWAL BENEFITS section of this Contract is amended:

o  by adding the following sentence before the last sentence of the first
   paragraph of the "Transfers" provision.

No transfer of your Accumulated Value from any Variable Account may be made that
would exceed $5 million without our prior approval.  No more than $25 million
may be transferred from any Variable Account in any 30 day period without our
prior approval.  For purposes of this limitation all Contracts owned by you
shall be treated as one Contract.

and

o  by inserting the following before the last sentence of the first paragraph of
   the "Withdrawal Benefits" provision:

We reserve the right to make payment of any Full or Partial Withdrawal in whole
or in part by distribution of securities in kind, rather than cash, if
securities are received by the Variable Account from the corresponding series of
the underlying mutual fund upon redemption of shares of such series and to the
extent that, on any Valuation Date, any withdrawal, together with any transfer,
of your Accumulated Value in a Variable Account would result in the reduction of
your Accumulated Value in the Variable Account in an amount that would exceed
the lesser of $10 million or an amount equal to 25% of such series' net assets
as of the end of such Valuation Date.  For purposes of this limitation all
Contracts owned by you shall be treated as one Contract.

The DEATH BENEFIT section is amended by replacing the third and fourth sentences
of the "Death of Annuitant" provision with the following:

The death benefit will be the Accumulated Value as of the Valuation Date due
proof of death and instructions regarding payment are received by PM.

                                  ENDORSEMENT

THIS ENDORSEMENT IS PART OF YOUR VARIABLE ANNUITY CONTRACT (FORM 90-53) AND
SHOULD BE ATTACHED TO IT.

The Death of Annuitant provision is hereby replaced by the following:

Death of Annuitant - We will pay the death benefit proceeds to the Beneficiary
if the Annuitant dies prior to the Annuity Start Date unless there is a
surviving Joint or Contingent Annuitant.  In such event, the surviving Joint or
Contingent Annuitant becomes the Annuitant.  The death benefit will be the
greater of (a) the Accumulated Value as of the Valuation Date due proof of death
and instructions regarding payment are received by PM; or (b) the total premiums
paid into the Contract less any deductions caused by previous Partial
Withdrawals; or (c) the Minimum Guaranteed Death Benefit for Contract Years six
and later.  No Withdrawal Charge will be imposed.  The death benefit proceeds
will be the death benefit reduced by the amount in the Loan Account, if any.
Payment will be made when we receive acceptable proof of death and instructions
regarding payment at our Home Office.  Instead of a lump sum payment, the amount
of the death benefit proceeds, less any applicable charge for premium taxes, may
be applied towards an Annuity Option under this Contract or towards the purchase
of any other annuity option we then offer.

Minimum Guaranteed Death Benefit (MGDB) - Starting in Contract Year six to
Contract Year eleven, the MGDB is the Accumulated Value at the fifth Contract
Anniversary, less any deductions caused by Partial Withdrawals and increased by
any premium payments received since the fifth Contract Anniversary.  The MGDB is
adjusted on the tenth Contract Anniversary and each succeeding fifth Contract
Anniversary to the greater of the most recent MGDB or the Accumulated Value as
of such anniversary, and during the next premium payments since such fifth
Contract Anniversary.  After the Contract year in which the Annuitant reaches
age 85, the MGDB will no longer be adjusted on each fifth Contract anniversary,
but it will still be adjusted for deductions caused by Partial Withdrawals and
for premium payments.

The Withdrawal Charge provision is hereby modified by adding the following
paragraph before the last paragraph of the provision.

No Withdrawal Charge will be imposed if the Annuitant has been diagnosed with a
medically determinable condition which results in a life expectancy of 12 months
or less. The following conditions must be met on or before the Withdrawal
request is made:

      -  A request can be made anytime after the first Contract Anniversary.

      -  The Contract must be in force on the date the request is approved.

      -  We must receive written proof satisfactory to us that the Annuitant's 
         life expectancy is 12 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 blood relative residing in the same household.
         Such proof should include documentation supported by 
<PAGE>
 
         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.

      -  Owner or legal guardian must apply in writing for this benefit on a
         form supplied by us.

      -  Written consent from any assignee must be obtained.

     any twelve-month period. If the Accumulated Value in the Fixed Account will

     and

     -  replacing the second paragraph with the following:

     A transfer fee of $10 per transfer will be assessed on the thirteenth and
     any subsequent transfer in a Contract Year. We reserve the right at a

     the transfer fee.

o    The "Withdrawal Benefits" section is modified by replacing the first
     sentence with the following:

     During the Accumulation Period, you may request a Full or Partial
     Withdrawal from your Accumulated Value while the Annuitant is living, and
     while your Contract is in force, by sending us written notice.

6.   Under the CONTRACT LOANS section of the Contract:

o    replacing the first sentence of the paragraph with the following:

     -  The amount available for a loan will depend on your Contract's

     not exceed 50%of the Contract's Accumulated Value.

     calendar month immediately before the month in which the loan is taken;
<PAGE>
 
     -  5%.

     We will notify you of the current Loan Interest Rate on your Contract when
     you make a loan on your Contract. In the event that the Moody's Corporate
     Bond Yield Average-Monthly Average Corporates is no longer published, we
     will use a substantially similar average established by regulation within
     the state in which this Contract is delivered.

o    The "Loan Account" provision is modified by replacing the third sentence
     with the following;

     We will credit interest daily on amounts in the Loan Account at the Loan
     Credited Interest rate.

o    The "Repayment" provision is modified by replacing the second, third, and
     fourth paragraphs with the following:

     Repayment of loan principal plus accrued interest is required quarterly.
     Loan repayments will be due on your quarterly loan anniversary next
     following the date the loan is effective and on each succeeding quarterly
     loan anniversary thereafter. Repayment must be received at our Variable
     Annuity Department before the end of the Contract Month in which the due
     date falls.

     If we do not receive the repayment by its due date, a Partial Withdrawal
     equal to the repayment amount due and any applicable Withdrawal Charge will
     be made from the Contract and paid to us. The portion of the Partial
     Withdrawal equal to the unpaid principal amount due will be deducted from
     the Loan Account. The portion equal to the interest due and any Withdrawal
     Charge imposed will be deducted from the Accumulated Value in the Variable
     Account and Fixed Account on a proportionate basis up to the amount
     available.

     If we receive a repayment in excess of a billed amount, the excess will be
     applied first towards the principal portion of the outstanding loan and
     then to any accrued interest. If we receive a payment which is less than
     the amount due, we will effect a Partial Withdrawal of the remaining amount
     due as described in the preceding paragraph.

7.   Under the CHARGES section of your Contract:

o    The "Withdrawal Charge" provision is modified by:

     -  replacing the clause numbered 2 in the second paragraph with the
     following:

     2.  Free Withdrawal Amount.  No Withdrawal Charge will be imposed on
     Withdrawals to the extent that total free Withdrawals during the Contract
     Year do not exceed 10% of the sum of the premiums paid during the current
     Contract Year up to the Valuation Date of the Withdrawal and the preceding

     premium tax. We will also deduct a charge from your Accumulated Value for

Adverse tax consequences may result if you fail to meet the repayments

vary depending on the individual circumstances of each Contract, WE STRONGLY
                                                                 -----------
ADVISE THAT YOU CONSULT WITH A QUALIFIED TAX ADVISER before exercising the loan
- ----------------------------------------------------                           
provisions of your Contract.

CONTRACT LOANS

If your Contract is issued under a Qualified Plan under code Section 401 or 403
and your Qualified Plan permits, you may request a loan using your Contract
Value as the only security.

LOAN PROCEDURES - Your loan request must be submitted on our Loan Request Form.
You may submit a loan request at any time after your first Contract Anniversary
and before your Annuity Date.  If approved, your loan will be effective as of
the end of the Business Day on which we receive the Loan Request Form.  We will
normally forward proceeds of your loan to you within seven days after the
effective date of your loan.

LOAN ACCOUNT - On the effective date of your loan, we will transfer an amount
equal to the principal amount of your loan into an account called the Loan
Account.  We will transfer amounts to the Loan Account proportionately from your
Investment Options based on your Account Value in each.  We will credit interest
on amounts in the Loan Account at a rate equal to an annual rate that is 1.75
percentage points lower than the annual loan interest rate charged on your loan.
Interest earned will accrue daily beginning on the day following the effective
day of the loan.  The interest credited will be transferred from the Loan
Account to the Investment Options on your Contract Anniversary according to your
most recent allocation instructions.

As your loan is repaid, the amount of the repayment will be transferred back to
your Investment Options in the same proportion as your most recent allocation
instructions.

LOAN TERMS -  You may have only one loan outstanding at any time. The minimum
loan amount is $1,000 and the maximum loan amount for Contracts with Accumulated
Value of $20,000 or less is 50% of the Accumulated Value. For Contracts with
Accumulated Value in excess of $20,000, the maximum loan amount is the lessor
of:

     .  50% of your Contract's Accumulated Value; or

     .  $50,000 reduced by the result of (A / B), where (A) is your highest
        outstanding Contract Debt during the 12-month period immediately
        preceding the effective date of your loan and (B) is the outstanding
        loan balance on the date of the loan.


You should refer to the terms of your particular Qualified Plan for any
additional loan restrictions.  If you have other loans outstanding pursuant to
other Qualified Plans, the amount you may borrow may be further restricted.

LOAN INTEREST RATE -  You will be charged interest on your loan at an annual
rate, set at the time the loan is made, equal to the higher of 5% or the Moody's
Corporate Bond Yield Average-
<PAGE>
 
Monthly Corporates, as published by Moody's Investors Service, Inc., or its
successor, for the most currently available calendar month. In the event that
the Moody's Corporate Bond Yield Average Monthly Corporates is no longer
published, we will use a substantially similar average as established by
regulation within the state in which this Contract is delivered.

Interest charged will accrue daily beginning on the day your loan is effective.
We will notify you of the current Loan Interest Rate when you make a Contract
loan.

REPAYMENT TERMS - You must repay principal and interest of any loan within five
years after its effective date.  If you have certified to us that your loan
proceeds will be used to acquire a principal residence for yourself, you may
request a loan for thirty years. In either case, you must repay your loan prior
to your Annuity Date.

Your loan, including principal and accrued interest, must be repaid in quarterly
installments. An installment will be due each quarter on the date corresponding
to your loan effective date, beginning with the first such date following the
effective date of your loan.  You may prepay your loan at any time.  If you
prepay your entire outstanding principal, we will bill you for any accrued
interest.  You loan will be considered repaid only when the interest due has
also been paid.

Subject to any necessary approval of state insurance authorities, we will treat
all payments you send us as premium payments unless you specifically indicate
that your payment is a loan repayment. Any repayments in excess of the amount
then due will be refunded, unless the loan is repaid in full.

If a loan payment is not made when due, interest will continue accrue to and we
will declare the entire remaining loan balance in default. At that time, we will
send written notification of the amount needed to bring the loan back to a
current status. You will have sixty (60) days from the date on which the loan
was declared in default (the "grace period") to make the required payment. If
the required payment is not received by the end of the grace period, the
defaulted loan balance plus accrued interest will be withdrawn from your
Contract Value, if amounts under your Contract are eligible for distribution.
If those amounts are not eligible for distribution, the defaulted loan balance
plus accrued interest will be considered a Deemed Distribution and will be
withdrawn when such values become eligible. In either case, the Distribution or
the Deemed Distribution will be considered a currently taxable event, will be
subject to the mandatory 20% federal withholding and may be subject to the early
withdrawal tax penalty.

If there is a Deemed Distribution under your Contract and to the extent allowed
by law, any future withdrawals will first be applied as repayment of the
defaulted Contract Debt including accrued interest.

Any amounts withdrawn and applied as repayment of loan principle will be 
withdrawn from the Loan Account. Any amounts withdrawn and applied as repayment 
of interest due will be withdrawn from your Fixed and Variable Accounts on a 
proportionate basis relative to the Accumulated Value in each account.

We reserve the right to amend the provisions of this rider in order to comply
with changes in the Code or changes in interpretations of the code.

expeditiously as is practical.  On request of the chairman of the meeting or of
any member or his proxy, the inspector or inspectors shall make a report in
writing of any challenge or question or matter determined by them and execute a
certificate of any fact found by them.  If there be three inspectors of
election, the decision, act or certificate of a majority shall be effective in
all aspects as the decision, act or certificate of all, an shall be final and

convening of the meeting, or at the meeting by the person or officer acting as
chairman.

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
reasonably practical after the net asset value per share is calculated.

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
time as required in order to effect the continuous offering of the shares of the
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
insurance policies and variable annuity contracts and any prospective amendments

notify the Company immediately upon having a reasonable basis for believing that
any Series has ceased to comply.

3.4.  The Fund shall be entitled to receive and act upon advice of its General

<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
offering of variable life insurance policies and variable annuity contracts.

who are not "interested persons" of the Fund ("disinterested Trustees"), as
defined by Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act, except that if this provision of

vacancies may be filled by the Fund's Board; (b) for a period of 60 days if a
vote of shareholders is required to fill the vacancy or vacancies; or (c) for
such longer period as the SEC may prescribe by order upon application.

3.10.  The Company agrees to provide, as promptly as possible, notice to the
Fund and to the Distributor if the Company has reason to know about a meeting of
some or all of the owners of the Variable Contracts or shareholders of the Fund,
where the agenda or purpose of the meeting relates, in whole or in part, to the
Fund and that has not been called by the Fund's Board of Trustees (and which
shall not include a vote of Variable Contract Owners having an interest in a
Separate Account to substitute shares of another investment company for
corresponding shares of the Fund or a Series, as described in Section 9(e) and
to which the notice provision of Section 9.2 shall apply).  In such an event,
the Company agrees to distribute proxy statements and any additional
solicitation materials upon the request of the Fund or the Distributor to the
owners of the Variable Contracts issued by the Company at least 30 days prior to
the meeting.  The Company further agrees that it shall take no action, directly
or indirectly, in furtherance of shareholders of the Fund or Contract Owners

appropriate governmental authorities having jurisdiction (including, without

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

ARTICLE IV.  Potential Conflicts

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

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

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

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

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

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

ARTICLE V.    Prospectuses and Proxy Statements; Voting

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

ARTICLE VI.  Sales Material and Information

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

Distributor is named, and no such sales literature or other promotional material
shall be used without the approval of the Fund and the Distributor or the
designee of either.

6.2.  The Company agrees that neither it nor any of its affiliates or agents
shall give any information or make any representations or statements on behalf
of the Fund or concerning the Fund other than the information or representations
contained in the Registration Statement or prospectus for the Fund shares, as
such registration statement and prospectus may be amended or supplemented from
time to time, or in reports or proxy statements for the Fund, or in sales

6.4.  The Fund and the Distributor agree that each and the affiliates and agents
of each shall not give any information or make any representations on behalf of
the Company or concerning  the Company, the Separate Accounts, or the Variable
Contracts issued by the Company, other than the information or representations
contained in a registration statement or prospectus for such Variable Contracts,
as such registration statement and prospectus may be amended or supplemented
from time to time, or in reports for the Separate Accounts or prepared for
distribution to owners of such Variable Contracts, or in sales literature or
other promotional material approved by the Company or its designee, except with
the permission of the Company.

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

6.6.  The Company will provide to the Fund at least one complete copy of all
prospectuses (which shall include an offering memorandum if the Variable
Contracts issued by the Company or interests therein are not registered under
the 1933 Act), Statements of Additional Information, reports, solicitations for
voting instructions, and all amendments or supplements to any of the above, that
relate to the Variable Contracts issued by the Company or the Separate Accounts
promptly after the filing of such document with the SEC or other regulatory
authority.

6.7.  For purposes of this Article VI, the phrase "sales literature or other
promotional material" includes, but is not limited to, advertisements (such as

periodical, radio, television, telephone or tape recording, videotape display,

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

except to the extent provided in Sections 7.1(b) and 7.1(c) hereof.

7.1(b).  The Company 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 or duties
under this Agreement or to the Fund.

7.1(c).  The Company shall not be liable under this indemnification provision
with respect to any claim made against an Indemnified Party unless such Party
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
Company also shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with counsel
satisfactory to the party named in the action.  After notice from the Company to
such party of the Company's election to assume the defense thereof, the
Indemnified Party shall bear the fees and expenses of any additional counsel
retained by it, and the Company will not be liable to such party under this
Agreement for

                                       10
<PAGE>
 
any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such party independently in
connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of
investigation.

7.1(d).  The Indemnified Parties shall promptly notify the Company of the
commencement of any litigation or proceedings against them in connection with
the issuance or sale of the Fund shares or the Variable Contracts issued by the
Company or the operation of the Fund.

each of its directors and officers and each person, if any, who is an affiliated
person of the Company within the meaning of Section 2(a)(3) of the 1940 Act
(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
amendment or supplement) or otherwise for use in connection with the sale of the
Variable Contracts issued by the Company 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 for the Variable Contracts not supplied by the
Distributor or any employees or agents thereof) or wrongful conduct of the Fund
or Distributor, or the affiliates, employees, or agents of the Fund or the
Distributor with respect to the sale or distribution of the Variable Contracts
issued by the Company or 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 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
such Party shall have notified the Distributor 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 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
fees and expenses of any additional counsel retained by it, and the Distributor
will not be liable to such party under this Agreement for any legal or other
expenses subsequently incurred by such party independently in connection with
the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation.

7.2(d).  The Company shall promptly notify the Distributor of the commencement
of any litigation or proceedings against it or any of its officers or directors
in connection with the issuance or sale of the Variable Contracts issued by the
Company or the operation of the Separate Accounts.

March 15, 1990

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

Dear Sirs:

In my capacity as Vice President and Investment Counsel of Pacific Mutual Life
Insurance Company ("Pacific Mutual"), I have supervised the establishment of
Pacific Select Variable Annuity Separate Account of Pacific Mutual Life
Insurance Company on November 22, 1989, by resolution of the Board of Directors
of Pacific Mutual and Memorandum dated November 28, 1989 concerning Pacific
Select Variable Annuity Separate Account as the separate account for assets
applicable to Pacific Select Variable Annuity Contracts, 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 N-4 ("Registration Statement") filed by Pacific Mutual and
Pacific Select Variable Annuity Separate Account with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (File No. 33-32704) under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, for the registration of interests in the variable annuity contracts to
be issued with respect to Pacific Select Variable Annuity Separate Account.

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

1.  Pacific Mutual has been duly organized under the laws of the State of
California and is a validly existing corporation.
2.  Pacific Select Variable Annuity 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 Variable Annuity
Separate Account equal to the reserves and other liabilities under the Pacific
Select Variable Annuity Contracts is not chargeable with liabilities arising out
of any other business Pacific Mutual may conduct.
4.  The Pacific Select Variable Annuity Contracts have been duly authorized by
Pacific Mutual and, when issued as contemplated by the Registration Statement,
will constitute legal, validly issued and binding obligations of Pacific Mutual,
except as limited by bankruptcy or insolvency laws affecting the rights of
creditors generally.

I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement.

Very truly yours,

/s/DAVID R. CARMICHAEL

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

The Board of Directors
Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Company


We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of the
Pacific Select Variable Annuity Separate Account (comprised of the Money Market,
Managed Bond, Government Securities, High Yield Bond, Growth, Equity Income,
Multi-Strategy, International, Equity Index, Growth LT, Equity, and Bond and
Income Variable Accounts) as of December 31, 1995 and the related statements of
operations for the year then ended and statements of changes in net assets for
each of the two years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994. 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, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of each of the respective Variable
Accounts constituting the Pacific Select Variable Annuity Separate Account at
December 31, 1995 and the results of their operations for the year then ended
and the changes in their net assets for each of the two years then ended, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

               PACIFIC SELECT VARIABLE ANNUITY SEPARATE ACCOUNT

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     The Pacific Select Variable Annuity Separate Account (the "Separate
Account") is registered as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended, and is currently comprised of twelve subaccounts called
Variable Accounts: the Money Market Variable Account, the Managed Bond Variable
Account, the Government Securities Variable Account, the High Yield Bond
Variable Account, the Growth Variable Account (not offered to new
contractholders beginning January 1, 1994), the Equity Income Variable Account,
the Multi-Strategy Variable Account, the International Variable Account, the
Equity Index Variable Account, the Growth LT Variable Account, the Equity
Variable Account, and the Bond and Income Variable Account. The assets in each
Variable Account are invested in shares of the corresponding portfolios of
Pacific Select Fund (the "Fund"), each of which pursues different investment
objectives and policies.

     The Separate Account was established by Pacific Mutual Life Insurance
Company ("Pacific Mutual") on November 30, 1989 and commenced operations on 
July 24, 1990. 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 Mutual. The assets of the Separate Account will not
be charged with any liabilities arising out of any other business conducted by
Pacific Mutual, but the obligations of the Separate Account, including benefits
related to variable annuities, are obligations of Pacific Mutual.

     The Separate Account held by Pacific Mutual represents funds from 
individual flexible premium variable accumulation deferred annuity contracts.

     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.

   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 Mutual, 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 Mutual with respect to
the operations of the Separate Account.

2. DIVIDENDS

     During 1995, the Fund has declared dividends for each 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

     Pacific Mutual charges the Separate Account daily for mortality and expense
risks assumed with respect to variable annuity contracts funded by the Separate
Account at an annual rate of 1.25% of the average daily net assets of each
Variable Account. Under the contracts, Pacific Mutual makes certain deductions
from the net assets of each Variable Account for administrative expenses,
contract maintenance, any state premium taxes, optional death benefits and any
sales surrender charges. The operating expenses of the Separate Account are paid
by Pacific Mutual.

4. RELATED PARTY AGREEMENT

     Pacific Equities Network, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pacific Mutual, is
the principal underwriter of variable annuity contracts funded by interests in
the Separate Account, and is compensated by Pacific Mutual.
