Supplement Dated October 1, 2005 to the Prospectuses Dated May 1, 2005

for the Pacific Value, Pacific One, Pacific One Select, Pacific Odyssey, Pacific Innovations Select, Pacific Innovations, and Pacific Portfolios variable annuity contracts issued by Pacific Life Insurance Company

Capitalized terms used in this supplement are defined in the Prospectuses referred to above unless otherwise defined herein. “We,” “us,” or “our” refer to Pacific Life Insurance Company; “you” or “your” refer to the Contract Owner.

This supplement must be preceded or accompanied by the applicable Prospectus dated May 1, 2005.

AN OVERVIEW OF . . . is amended by adding the following:

Lifetime Income Access Plus Rider

The optional Lifetime Income Access Plus Rider lets you withdraw up to 5% of your investments per year, lock in market gains, and may provide a credit which increases your protected amount. Subject to state availability, the optional Lifetime Income Access Plus Rider offers you, during the accumulation period, the ability to withdraw up to 5% of a Protected Payment Base (usually Purchase Payments), the potential to receive 5% of the Protected Payment Base for life, even if the Contract Value or Remaining Protected Balance is zero, and provides an Income Access Credit of 6% to your Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance for up to a five year period (provided you do not take any withdrawals during this period), when used with an asset allocation program established and maintained by us. If you use our DCA Plus program (if available) in conjunction with such an asset allocation program, you also will be considered to have met this requirement. You may buy this Rider on the Contract Date or on any Contract Anniversary.

The Rider also provides for an additional option (the “Reset”) on any Contract Anniversary beginning with the first (1st) anniversary of the Rider Effective Date or most recent Reset Date, whichever is later, and may include an increase in the charges (up to a maximum of 1.20%) associated with the Rider. The Lifetime Income Access Plus Rider may not be available. Ask your registered representative about its current availability. (Protected Payment Base, Remaining Protected Balance, Protected Payment Amount, Income Access Credit, Reset, and Reset Date are described in the OTHER OPTIONAL RIDERS—Lifetime Income Access Plus Rider section in this supplement.)

If you buy the Rider within sixty (60) days after the Contract Date or within thirty (30) days after a Contract Anniversary, we will make the Effective Date of the Rider coincide with that Contract Date or Contract Anniversary.

You should consult a qualified adviser for complete information and advice before purchasing the Lifetime Income Access Plus Rider or electing the Reset provision available under the Rider.

There may be adverse consequences to taking a loan while this Rider is in effect. If you have an existing loan on your Contract, you should carefully consider whether the Rider is appropriate for you.

The Lifetime Income Access Plus Rider is called the Enhanced Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit Rider in the Contract’s Rider.

The Periodic Contract Expenses section is amended by adding the following:

 
•  Lifetime Income Access Plus Rider Charge 1.20%18         

The following Footnote is added to the Expenses section:

18  If you buy the Lifetime Income Access Plus Rider (subject to state availability), we deduct this charge proportionately from your Investment Options on each Contract Anniversary following the Effective Date of the Rider during the term of the Rider and while the Rider is in effect, or if the Rider is terminated. The 1.20% Charge is the maximum charge allowable under the terms and conditions of the Rider. Currently, the annual Charge for the Rider is 0.40%. Under the terms and conditions of the Rider, the annual Charge will remain the same while the Rider is in effect, unless you elect the optional Reset provision provided under the Rider. The Charge if you purchase the Rider will also be shown on the Rider in your Contract. We will waive the annual Charge if the Rider terminates as a result of death of an Owner or sole surviving Annuitant or upon full annuitization of your Contract.


 

PURCHASING YOUR CONTRACT AND OPTIONAL RIDERS is amended by adding the following:

Some broker/dealers may limit their clients from purchasing some optional benefits based upon the client’s age or other factors. You should work with your registered representative to decide whether an optional benefit is appropriate for you based on a thorough analysis of your particular insurance needs, financial objectives, investment goals, time horizons and risk tolerance.

Purchasing the Lifetime Income Access Plus Rider (Optional)

Subject to state availability, you may purchase the optional Lifetime Income Access Plus Rider on the Contract Date or on any Contract Anniversary if:

  •  the age of each Annuitant is eighty five (85) years or younger on the date of purchase, and
 
  •  your entire Contract Value is invested in an asset allocation program established and maintained by us for this Rider during the entire period that the Rider is in effect. If you use our DCA Plus program in conjunction with such an asset allocation program, you will be considered to have met this requirement.

On and after October 1, 2005, subject to state availability of the Lifetime Income Access Plus Rider, you may elect to exchange the Income Access Plus Rider or the Income Access Rider for the Lifetime Income Access Plus Rider on any Contract Anniversary. The initial Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance under the Lifetime Income Access Plus Rider will be equal to the Contract Value on that Contract Anniversary. You should consult a qualified adviser for complete information and advice before making an exchange.

You cannot request a termination of the Rider. Except as otherwise provided below, the Rider will automatically terminate on the earliest of:

  •  the day any portion of the Contract Value is no longer invested according to an asset allocation program established and maintained by us for this Rider,
 
  •  the day the Remaining Protected Balance is reduced to zero if the oldest Owner (or youngest Annuitant, in the case of an Owner who is a Non-Natural Owner), was age 64 or younger when the first withdrawal was taken under the Rider after the Rider Effective Date or the most recent Reset Date, whichever is later,
 
  •  the date of the first death of an Owner or the date of death of the sole surviving Annuitant,
 
  •  the day the Contract is terminated in accordance with the provisions of the Contract,
 
  •  the day we are notified of a change in ownership of the Contract if the Contract is Non-Qualified, or
 
  •  the Annuity Date.

The Rider will not terminate the day the Remaining Protected Balance is reduced to zero if the oldest Owner (or youngest Annuitant, in the case of an Owner who is a Non-Natural Owner) was age 65 or older when the first withdrawal was taken under the Rider after the Rider Effective Date or the most recent Reset Date, whichever is later. In this case, the Rider will terminate the day of the first death of an Owner or the date of death of the sole surviving Annuitant.

The Rider and the Contract will not terminate the day the Contract Value is zero and you begin taking pre-authorized withdrawals of 5% of the Protected Payment Base. In this case, the Rider and the Contract will terminate:

  •  the date of the first death of an Owner or the date of death of the sole surviving Annuitant if the oldest Owner (or youngest Annuitant, in the case of an Owner who is a Non-Natural Owner) was age 65 or older when the first withdrawal was taken under the Rider after the Rider Effective Date or the most recent Reset Date, whichever is later, or
 
  •  the day the Remaining Protected Balance is reduced to zero if the oldest Owner (or youngest Annuitant, in the case of an Owner who is Non-Natural Owner), was age 64 or younger when the first withdrawal was taken under the Rider after the Rider Effective Date or the most recent Reset Date, whichever is later.

If this Rider is terminated as a result of having any portion of the Contract Value no longer invested according to an asset allocation program established and maintained by us, you must wait until a Contract Anniversary that is at least one (1) year from the Effective Date of termination before this Rider may be purchased again (if available).

Continuation of Rider if Surviving Spouse Continues Contract

If the Owner dies while this Rider is in effect and if the surviving spouse of the deceased Owner elects to continue the Contract in accordance with its terms, the surviving spouse may continue to take withdrawals of the Protected Payment Amount under this Rider, until the Remaining Protected Balance is reduced to zero.


 

The surviving spouse may elect to reset the Remaining Protected Balance on any Contract Anniversary. If an election to reset is made, then the provisions of this Rider will continue for the surviving spouse.

CHARGES, FEES AND DEDUCTIONS is amended by adding the following:

Lifetime Income Access Plus Annual Charge (Optional Rider)

If you purchase the Lifetime Income Access Plus Rider (subject to state availability), we will deduct, annually, a Lifetime Income Access Plus Charge (“Charge”) from your Investment Options on a proportionate basis on each Contract Anniversary that the Rider remains in effect following the Effective Date of the Rider, and if the Rider terminates. The Charge is equal to 0.40% multiplied by your Contract Value on the Contract Anniversary. The Charge for a Contract Year will be deducted on the Contract Anniversary following that Contract Year.

If the Rider terminates on a Contract Anniversary, the full Charge will be deducted from the Contract Value on that Contract Anniversary. If the Rider terminates on a day other than a Contract Anniversary the Charge will be prorated to the date of termination. The prorated Charge will be deducted based on the Contract Value as of the day the Rider terminates. The prorated Charge will be deducted from the Contract Value on the earlier of the day the Contract terminates or the Contract Anniversary immediately following the day the Rider terminates. We will waive the Charge if the Rider terminates due to death of an Owner or sole surviving Annuitant or upon full annuitization of your Contract.

The annual Charge may change if you elect the optional Reset provision in the Rider, but will never be more than the annual Charge percentage being charged for new issues of this same Rider and will not be more than a maximum annual Charge percentage of 1.20%. If you do not elect the optional Reset, your annual Charge percentage will remain the same as it was on the Effective Date of the Rider.

Any portion of the annual Charge we deduct from a fixed option will not be greater than the annual interest credited in excess of 3%. If you make a full withdrawal of the amount available for withdrawal during a Contract Year, we will deduct the Charge from the final payment made to you.

OTHER OPTIONAL RIDERS is amended by adding the following:

Lifetime Income Access Plus Rider

If you purchase the Lifetime Income Access Plus Rider (subject to state availability), on any day this Rider guarantees you can withdrawal up to the Protected Payment Amount, regardless of market performance, until the Remaining Protected Balance is reduced to zero (0). This Rider also provides for an amount (an “Income Access Credit”) to be added to the Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance.

In addition, on any Contract Anniversary beginning with the first (1st) Contract Anniversary after the Rider Effective Date or the most recent Reset Date, whichever is later, you may elect to reset the Remaining Protected Balance to an amount equal to 100% of the Contract Value on that Contract Anniversary.

For purposes of this Rider, the term “withdrawal” includes any applicable withdrawal charges and charges for premium taxes and/or other taxes, if applicable. Amounts withdrawn under this Rider will reduce the Contract Value by the amount withdrawn and will be subject to the same conditions, limitations, restrictions and all other fees, charges and deductions, if applicable, as withdrawals otherwise made under the provisions of the Contract.

If your Contract is a Qualified Contract or a TSA/403(b) Contract, you are subject to restrictions on withdrawals you may take prior to a triggering event and you should consult your tax or legal advisor prior to purchasing an optional guarantee, the primary benefit of which is guaranteeing withdrawals. For additional information regarding withdrawals and triggering events, see the FEDERAL TAX STATUS— Qualified Plans section in the Prospectus.

Lifetime Income Access Plus terms

  Annual RMD Amount—The amount required to be distributed each Calendar Year for purposes of satisfying the minimum distribution requirements of Internal Revenue Code Section 401(a)(9) (“Section 401(a)(9)”) and related Code provisions in effect as of the Rider Effective Date.


 

  Protected Payment Amount—The maximum amount that can be withdrawn under this Rider without reducing the Protected Payment Base. The Protected Payment Amount on any day after the Rider Effective Date is equal to the lesser of:

  •  5% of the Protected Payment Base as of that day, less cumulative withdrawals during that Contract Year, or
 
  •  the Remaining Protected Balance as of that day.

  Protected Payment Base—An amount used to determine the Protected Payment Amount. The Protected Payment Base will remain unchanged except as otherwise described under the provisions of this Rider.
 
  Remaining Protected Balance—The amount available for future withdrawals made under this Rider.
 
  Income Access Credit—An amount added to the Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance.
 
  Reset Date—Any Contract Anniversary beginning with the first (1st) Contract Anniversary after the Rider Effective Date or the most recent Reset Date, whichever is later, on which you elect to Reset the remaining Protected Balance to an amount equal to 100% of the Contract Value, determined as of that Contract Anniversary.
 
  Initial Values—The initial Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance amounts are equal to:

  •  Initial Purchase Payment, if the Rider Effective Date is on the Contract Date, or
 
  •  Contract Value, if the Rider Effective Date is on a Contract Anniversary.

  The initial Protected Payment Amount on the Rider Effective Date is equal to 5% of the initial Protected Payment Base.

Subsequent Purchase Payments—If we receive additional Purchase Payments after the Rider Effective Date, we will increase the Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance by the amount of the Purchase Payments. However, for purposes of this Rider, we reserve the right to restrict additional Purchase Payments that result in a total of all Purchase Payments received on or after the later of the first (1st) Contract Anniversary or most recent Reset Date to exceed $100,000 without our prior approval. This provision only applies if the Contract to which this Rider is attached, permits Purchase Payments after the first (1st) Contract Anniversary, measured from the Contract Date.

Income Access Credit—On each Contract Anniversary after the Rider Effective Date, an Income Access Credit will be added to the Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance, as of that Contract Anniversary, if:

  •  no withdrawals have occurred after the Rider Effective Date or the most recent Reset Date, whichever is later, and
 
  •  that Contract Anniversary is prior to the sixth (6th) Contract Anniversary, measured from the Rider Effective Date or the most recent Reset Date, whichever is later.

The Income Access Credit is equal to 6% of the total of:

  •  the Remaining Protected Balance on the Rider Effective Date or the most recent Reset Date, whichever is later, and
 
  •  the cumulative Purchase Payments received after the Rider Effective Date or most recent Reset Date, whichever is later,

as of the Contract Anniversary on which the Income Access Credit is added.

Once a withdrawal has occurred, no Income Access Credit will be added to the Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance on any Contract Anniversary following the withdrawal, unless you elect to reset the Remaining Protected Balance.

Income Access Credits will not increase your cost basis and when distributed, may be recognizable as taxable ordinary income.

Withdrawal of Protected Payment Amount—While this Rider is in effect, you may withdraw up to the Protected Payment Amount without reducing the Protected Payment Base, regardless of market performance, until the Remaining Protected Balance equals zero.

If a withdrawal does not exceed the Protected Payment Amount immediately prior to that withdrawal, the Protected Payment Base will remain unchanged. The Remaining Protected Balance will decrease by the withdrawal amount immediately following the withdrawal.


 

If a withdrawal exceeds the Protected Payment Amount immediately prior to that withdrawal, we will adjust the Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance immediately following the withdrawal, to the lesser of:

  •  the Contract Value immediately after the withdrawal, or
 
  •  the Remaining Protected Balance immediately prior to the withdrawal, less the withdrawal amount.

The amount available for withdrawal under the Contract must be sufficient to support any withdrawal that would otherwise exceed the Protected Payment Amount.

Required Minimum Distributions

No adjustment will be made to the Protected Payment Base as a result of a withdrawal, if a withdrawal made under the Rider exceeds the Protected Payment Amount immediately prior to the withdrawal, provided:

  •  such withdrawal (an “RMD Withdrawal”) is for purposes of satisfying the minimum distribution requirements of Section 401(a)(9) and related Code provisions in effect at that time,
 
  •  you have authorized us to calculate and make periodic distribution of the Annual RMD Amount for the Calendar Year required based on the payment frequency you have chosen,
 
  •  the Annual RMD Amount is based on the previous year-end Contract Value of this Contract only, and
 
  •  no withdrawals (other than RMD withdrawals) are made from the Contract during the Contract Year.

The Remaining Protected Balance will decrease by the amount of each RMD withdrawal immediately following the RMD withdrawal.

Depletion of Contract Value

If a withdrawal (including an RMD withdrawal) does not exceed the Protected Payment Amount and reduces the Contract Value to zero, the following will apply:

  •  if the oldest Owner (or youngest Annuitant, in the case of an Owner who is a Non-Natural Owner):

  •  was age 64 or younger when the first withdrawal was taken under the Rider, after the Rider Effective Date or the most recent Reset Date, whichever is later, 5% of the Protected Payment Base will be paid each year until the Remaining Protected Balance is reduced to zero, or
 
  •  was age 65 or older when the first withdrawal was taken under the Rider after the Rider Effective Date or the most recent Reset Date, whichever is later, 5% of the Protected Payment Base will be paid each year until the day of the first death of an Owner or the date of death of the sole surviving Annuitant.

  •  the payments of 5% of the Protected Payment Base will be paid under a series of pre-authorized withdrawals under a payment frequency as elected by the Owner, but no less frequently than annually,
 
  •  no additional Purchase Payments will be accepted under the Contract,
 
  •  any Remaining Protected Balance will not be available for payment in a lump sum and may not be applied to provide payments under an Annuity Option,
 
  •  the Contract will cease to provide any death benefit, and
 
  •  any payments made to you of the Remaining Protected Balance may be taxable to you as ordinary income, and if you are under the age of 59 1/2, may be subject to an additional 10% early withdrawal penalty tax.

If the Owner or sole surviving Annuitant dies and the Contract Value is zero as of the date of death, any Remaining Protected Balance will be paid to the Beneficiary under a series of pre-authorized withdrawals and payment frequency (at least annually) then in effect at the time of the Owner’s or sole surviving Annuitant’s death. If, however, the Remaining Protected Balance would be paid over a period that exceeds the life expectancy of the Beneficiary, the pre-authorized withdrawal amount will be adjusted so that the withdrawal payments will be paid over a period that does not exceed the Beneficiary’s life expectancy.

Depletion of Remaining Protected Balance

If a withdrawal (including an RMD Withdrawal) reduced the Remaining Protected Balance to zero and Contract Value remains, the following will apply:

  If the oldest Owner (or youngest Annuitant, in the case of an Owner who is a Non-Natural Owner):

  •  was age 64 or younger when the first withdrawal was taken under the Rider after the Rider Effective Date or the most recent Reset Date, whichever is later, this Rider will terminate, or


 

  •  was age 65 or older when the first withdrawal was taken under the Rider after the Rider Effective Date or the most recent Reset Date, whichever is later, you may elect to withdraw up to 5% of the Protected Payment Base each year until the day of the first death of an Owner or the date of death of the sole surviving Annuitant.

If a withdrawal (except an RMD withdrawal) made from the Contract exceeds 5% of the Protected Payment Base, this Rider will terminate.

Any death benefit proceeds to be paid to the Beneficiary from remaining Contract Value will be paid according to the Death Benefit provisions of the Contract.

Election to Reset Remaining Protected Balance—You may, on any Contract Anniversary beginning with the first (1st) Contract Anniversary, measured from the Rider Effective Date or the most recent Reset Date, whichever is later, elect to reset the Remaining Protected Balance to an amount equal to 100% of the Contract Value as of that Contract Anniversary.

The annual Charge percentage may change if you elect to reset the Remaining Protected Balance. However, the annual Charge percentage will never exceed the annual Charge percentage then in effect for new issues of this same Rider. If we are no longer issuing this Rider, any change in the annual Charge percentage will not result in an annual Charge percentage that exceeds the maximum annual Charge percentage. (See the CHARGES, FEES and DEDUCTIONS—Lifetime Income Access Plus Rider section in this supplement)

On each Reset Date and after any Income Access Credit is applied, we will set the Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance to an amount equal to 100% of the Contract Value as of the Reset Date.

The election to reset the Remaining Protected Balance must be received, in a form satisfactory to us, at our Service Center within thirty (30) days after the Contract Anniversary on which the reset is effective. Your election to reset the Remaining Protected Balance may result in a reduction in the Protected Payment Base, Remaining Protected Balance, Protected Payment Amount and Income Access Credit. We will provide you with written confirmation of your election.

On and after each Reset Date, the provisions of this Rider shall apply in the same manner as they applied when the Rider was originally issued. Eligibility for any Income Access Credits, the limitations and restrictions on Purchase Payments and withdrawals, the deduction of annual Charges and any future reset options available on and after the Reset Date, will again apply and will be measured from that Reset Date.

Sample Calculations—Hypothetical sample calculations are below. The examples provided are based on certain hypothetical assumptions and are for example purposes only. The examples are not intended to serve as projections of future investment returns.

LIFETIME INCOME ACCESS PLUS RIDER

SAMPLE CALCULATIONS

The numeric examples shown in this section are based on certain assumptions. They have been provided to assist in understanding the benefits provided by this Rider and to demonstrate how Purchase Payments received and withdrawals made from the Contract prior to the Annuity Date affect the values and benefits under this Rider over an extended period of time. These examples are not intended to serve as projections of future investment returns.

Example #1—Income Access Credit; No Subsequent Purchase Payments; No Withdrawals; No Reset in Remaining Protected Balance.

  •  The values shown below are based on the following assumptions:
 
  •  Initial Purchase Payment = $100,000
 
  •  Rider Effective Date = Contract Date
 
  •  No subsequent Purchase Payments are received.
 
  •  No withdrawals taken.
 
  •  No reset of the Remaining Protected Balance

    11           $134,392     $0     $130,000   $6,500   $130,000    

On the Rider Effective Date, the initial values are set as follows:

  •  Protected Payment Base = Initial Purchase Payment = $100,000
 
  •  Remaining Protected Balance = Initial Purchase Payment = $100,000
 
  •  Protected Payment Amount = 5% of Protected Payment Base = $5,000

Since no withdrawal occurred prior to the Contract Anniversary at the beginning of Contract Year 6, an Income Access Credit of $6,000 (6% of initial Remaining Protected Balance) is added to the Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance on each Contract Anniversary up to the Contract Anniversary at the beginning of Contract Year 6. As a result, on the Contract Anniversary at the beginning of Contract Year 6, the Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance are equal to $130,000 and the Protected Payment Amount is equal to $6,500 (5% of $130,000).

No Income Access Credit will be added to the Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance on any Contract Anniversary after the Contract Anniversary at the beginning of Contract Year 6, as no reset in the Remaining Protected Balance was assumed.

In addition to the Initial Purchase Payment, the Contract Value is further subject to increases and/or decreases during each Contract Year as a result of additional amounts credited, charges, fees and other deductions, and increases and/or decreases in the investment performance of the Variable Account.

Example #2—Subsequent Purchase Payment.

The values shown below are based on the following assumptions:

  •  Initial Purchase Payment = $100,000
 
  •  Rider Effective Date = Contract Date
 
  •  A subsequent Purchase Payment of $50,000 is received during Contract Year 2.
 
  •  No withdrawals taken.

    3               $156,834   $9,000   $165,000   $8,250   $165,000    

On the Rider Effective Date, the initial values are set as follows:

  •  Protected Payment Base = Initial Purchase Payment = $100,000
 
  •  Remaining Protected Balance = Initial Purchase Payment = $100,000
 
  •  Protected Payment Amount = 5% of Protected Payment Base = $5,000

Since no withdrawal occurred prior to the Contract Anniversary at the beginning of Contract Year 2, an Income Access Credit of $6,000 (6% of Initial Remaining Protected Balance) is added to the Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance on that Contract Anniversary, increasing both to $106,000. As a result, the Protected


 

Payment Amount on that Contract Anniversary is equal to $5,300 (5% of the Protected Payment Base on that Contract Anniversary).

Immediately after the $50,000 subsequent Purchase Payment during Contract Year 2, the Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance are increased by the Purchase Payment amount to $156,000 ($106,000 + $50,000). The Protected Payment Amount after the Purchase Payment is equal to $7,800 (5% of the Protected Payment Base after the Purchase Payment since there are no withdrawals during that Contract Year).

Since no withdrawal occurred prior to the Contract Anniversary at the beginning of Contract Year 3, an Income Access Credit of $9,000 (6% of Initial Remaining Protected Balance plus 6% of the $50,000 subsequent Purchase Payment) is added to the Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance on that Contract Anniversary, increasing both to $165,000. As a result, the Protected Payment Amount on that Contract Anniversary is equal to $8,250 (5% of the Protected Payment Base on that Contract Anniversary).

Example #3—Withdrawal Not Exceeding Protected Payment Amount.

The values shown below are based on the following assumptions:

  •  Initial Purchase Payment = $100,000
 
  •  Rider Effective Date = Contract Date
 
  •  No subsequent Purchase Payments are received.
 
  •  A withdrawal of $5,000 is taken during Contract Year 2.

    4             $104,046       $0     $106,000     $5,300     $101,000    

On the Rider Effective Date, the initial values are set as follows:

  •  Protected Payment Base = Initial Purchase Payment = $100,000
 
  •  Remaining Protected Balance = Initial Purchase Payment = $100,000
 
  •  Protected Payment Amount = 5% of Protected Payment Base = $5,000

Since no withdrawal occurred prior to the Contract Anniversary at the beginning of Contract Year 2, an Income Access Credit of $6,000 (6% of Initial Remaining Protected Balance) is added to the Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance on that Contract Anniversary, increasing both to $106,000. As a result, the Protected Payment Amount on that Contract Anniversary is equal to $5,300 (5% of the Protected Payment Base on that Contract Anniversary).

Because the $5,000 withdrawal during Contract Year 2 does not exceed the Protected Payment Amount ($5,300):

  (a)  the Protected Payment Base remains unchanged;
 
  (b)  the Remaining Protected Balance is reduced by the amount of the withdrawal to $101,000 ($106,000 – $5,000); and

  (c)  the Protected Payment Amount is equal to $300 (5% of the Protected Payment Base after the withdrawal (5% of $106,000 = $5,300), less cumulative withdrawals during that Contract Year ($5,000)).

Since a withdrawal occurred during Contract Year 2, no Income Access Credit will be added to the Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance on any Contract Anniversary following the withdrawal.


 

Example #4—Withdrawals Exceeding Protected Payment Amount.

The values shown below are based on the following assumptions:

  •  Initial Purchase Payment = $100,000
 
  •  Rider Effective Date = Contract Date
 
  •  No subsequent Purchase Payments are received.
 
  •  Two separate withdrawals of $5,000 and $3,000 are taken during Contract Year 2.

    3             $97,993       $0       $97,272       $4,864       $97,272      
    4             $100,933       $0       $97,272       $4,864       $97,272      

On the Rider Effective Date, the initial values are set as follows:

  •  Protected Payment Base = Initial Purchase Payment = $100,000
 
  •  Remaining Protected Balance = Initial Purchase Payment = $100,000
 
  •  Protected Payment Amount = 5% of Protected Payment Base = $5,000

Since no withdrawal occurred prior to the Contract Anniversary at the beginning of Contract Year 2, an Income Access Credit of $6,000 (6% of Initial Remaining Protected Balance) is added to the Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance on that Contract Anniversary, increasing both to $106,000. As a result, the Protected Payment Amount on that Contract Anniversary is equal to $5,300 (5% of the Protected Payment Base on that Contract Anniversary).

Because the $5,000 withdrawal during Contract Year 2 does not exceed the Protected Payment Amount ($5,300):

  (a)  the Protected Payment Base remains unchanged;
 
  (b)  the Remaining Protected Balance is reduced by the amount of the withdrawal to $101,000 ($106,000 - $5,000); and

  (c)  the Protected Payment Amount is equal to $300 (5% of the Protected Payment Base after the withdrawal (5% of $106,000 = $5,300), less cumulative withdrawals during that Contract Year ($5,000)).

Because the $3,000 withdrawal during Contract Year 2 exceeds the Protected Payment Amount immediately prior to the withdrawal ($3,000 > $300), the Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance immediately after the withdrawal are adjusted to the lesser of:

  (a)  the Contract Value immediately after the withdrawal ($97,272); or
 
  (b)  the Remaining Protected Balance immediately prior to the withdrawal, less the withdrawal amount ($101,000 - $3,000 = $98,000).

The Protected Payment Amount immediately after the withdrawal is equal to $0 (5% of the Protected Payment Base after the withdrawal (5% of $97,272 = $4,864), less cumulative withdrawals during that Contract Year ($8,000), but not less than zero).

Since a withdrawal occurred during Contract Year 2, no Income Access Credit will be added to the Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance on any Contract Anniversary following the withdrawal.


 

Example #5—Reset in Remaining Protected Balance.

The values shown below are based on the following assumptions:

  •  Initial Purchase Payment = $100,000
 
  •  Rider Effective Date = Contract Date
 
  •  No subsequent Purchase Payments are received.
 
  •  No withdrawals taken.
 
  •  Reset in the Remaining Protected Balance at the Beginning of Contract Year 4.

    5           $146,410   $7,986   $141,086   $7,054   $141,086    

On the Rider Effective Date, the initial values are set as follows:

  •  Protected Payment Base = Initial Purchase Payment = $100,000
 
  •  Remaining Protected Balance = Initial Purchase Payment = $100,000
 
  •  Protected Payment Amount = 5% of Protected Payment Base = $5,000

On the Contract Anniversary at the beginning of Contract Year 4, the Contract Value ($133,100) is greater than the Remaining Protected Balance ($118,000). With the reset in Remaining Protected Balance, the Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance are set equal to the Contract Value on that Contract Anniversary. As a result, the Protected Payment Amount is equal to $6,655 after the reset.

After the reset in Remaining Protected Balance, eligibility for any Income Access Credit will be based on the most recent Reset Date. That is, an Income Access Credit may be added to the Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance on up to five additional Contract Anniversaries if certain conditions are met.

The reset in Remaining Protected Balance may result in an increase in the annual Income Access Charge percentage.

The reset in Remaining Protected Balance may also result in a lower Protected Payment Base, Remaining Protected Balance, Protected Payment Amount and Income Access Credit.

Example #6—Lifetime Income

The values shown below are based on the following assumptions:

  •  Initial Purchase Payment = $100,000
 
  •  Rider Effective Date = Contract Date
 
  •  No subsequent Purchase Payments are received.
 
  •  Owner is age 65 or older when the first withdrawal was taken
 
  •  Withdrawals, each equal to 5% of the Protected Payment Base are taken each Contract Year.
 
  •  No reset in the Remaining Protected Balance is assumed during the life of the Rider.

On the Rider Effective Date, the initial values are set as follows:

  •  Protected Payment Base = Initial Purchase Payment = $100,000
 
  •  Remaining Protected Balance = Initial Purchase Payment = $100,000
 
  •  Protected Payment Amount = 5% of Protected Payment Base = $5,000

Because the amount of each withdrawal does not exceed the Protected Payment Amount immediately prior to the withdrawal ($5,000): (a) the Protected Payment Base remains unchanged; and (b) the Remaining Protected Balance is reduced by the amount of each withdrawal.

Since a withdrawal occurred during Contract Year 1, no annual credit will be applied to the Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance on any Contract Anniversary following the withdrawal.

Since it was assumed that the Owner was age 65 or older when the first withdrawal was taken, withdrawals of 5% of the Protected Payment Base will continue to be paid each year (even after the Contract Value and Remaining Protected Balance have been reduced to zero) until the day of the first death of an Owner or the date of death of the sole surviving Annuitant, whichever occurs first.

OTHER OPTIONAL RIDERS is amended by adding the following:

The Income Access Plus Rider and Income Access Rider sections are amended to include the following:

If your Contract is a Qualified Contract or a TSA/403(b) Contract, you are subject to restrictions on withdrawals you may take prior to a triggering event and you should consult your tax or legal advisor prior to purchasing an optional guarantee, the primary benefit of which is guaranteeing withdrawals. For additional information regarding withdrawals and triggering events, see the FEDERAL TAX STATUS—Qualified Plans section in the Prospectus.


 

When a withdrawal does not exceed the Protected Payment Amount, reduces the Contract Value to zero, and, as a result, payments under a series of pre-authorized withdrawals have started, any payments made to you of the Remaining Protected Balance may be taxable to you as ordinary income, and if you are under the age of 59 1/2, may be subject to an additional 10% early withdrawal penalty tax. In addition, any payments made to the Beneficiary of the Remaining Protected Balance may be taxable to the Beneficiary as ordinary income.

FEDERAL TAX STATUS—Loans is amended as follows:

The Loan Terms subsection is amended by adding the following:

If you purchase the Lifetime Income Access Plus Rider, there may be adverse consequences to taking a loan while these Riders are in effect. If you have an existing loan on your Contract, you should carefully consider whether this Rider is appropriate for you.
