Supplement dated December 18, 2006 to the Prospectus dated May 1, 2006

for the Pacific Value, Pacific Portfolios, Pacific Innovations Select, Pacific Innovations,
Pacific One Select, Pacific One, Pacific Select Variable Annuity and Pacific Odyssey 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, 2006, as supplemented. The changes in this supplement are effective February 1, 2007.

The AN OVERVIEW OF... section is amended as follows:

The Optional Riders – Optional Living Benefit Riders subsection is amended to include the following:

Flexible Lifetime Income Rider

Subject to state availability, this optional Rider lets you, before the Annuity Date, withdraw up to 5% of your Protected Payment Base per year, lock in market gains, provides the potential to receive 5% of a Protected Payment Base for life, and provides an Annual Credit of 6% to your Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance, for up to a ten (10) year period (provided you do not take any withdrawals during this period), which can increase the amount you may withdraw per year, when used with an asset allocation program established and maintained by us. Currently, this Rider is available for purchase at Contract issue or on any Contract Anniversary. We reserve the right to restrict the purchase of this Rider to only Contract issue in the future.

Beginning with the first (1st) anniversary of the Rider Effective Date or most recent Reset Date, whichever is later, the Rider provides for Automatic Resets or Owner-Elected Resets of the Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance to an amount equal to 100% of the Contract Value. Any reset may include an increase in the annual charge percentage (up to a maximum of 1.20%) associated with the Rider. (Protected Payment Base, Remaining Protected Balance, Annual Credit, Automatic Reset, Owner-Elected Reset and Reset Date are described in this supplement under OTHER OPTIONAL RIDERS – Flexible Lifetime Income Rider.)

This Rider is called the 5% Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit Rider in the Contract’s Rider.

The Periodic Expenses section is amended to include the following:

                     
Current Charge Maximum Charge
Percentage Percentage


  Flexible Lifetime Income Rider*     0.65%       1.20%  

The annual charge is equal to the current charge percentage multiplied by the Protected Payment Base. 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. If the Rider is terminated for reasons other than death or annuitization, this charge will be deducted on the effective date of termination. Under the terms and conditions of the Rider, the annual Charge percentage may increase if an Automatic Reset or Owner-Elected Reset occurs, but will never be more than the maximum charge percentage. We will waive the annual Charge if the Rider terminates as a result of the death of an Owner or sole surviving Annuitant or upon full annuitization of your Contract.


 

The CHARGES, FEES AND DEDUCTIONS section is amended as follows:

The Optional Rider Charges section is amended to include the following:

Flexible Lifetime Income Rider Annual Charge

If you purchase this Rider, we will deduct an annual charge for the Rider from your Investment Options on a proportionate basis. The current annual charge is 0.65% (not to exceed a maximum annual charge percentage of 1.20%) multiplied by the Protected Payment Base on the day the charge is deducted.

If this Rider terminates on a Contract Anniversary, the entire annual charge for the prior Contract Year will be deducted from the Contract Value on that Contract Anniversary. If the Rider terminates prior to a Contract Anniversary, we will prorate the annual charge based on the Protected Payment Base as of the day the Rider terminates. Such prorated amount will be deducted from the Contract Value on the earlier of the day the Contract terminates or the Contract Anniversary following the day the Rider terminates.

We will waive the annual charge if the Rider terminates as a result of the death of an Owner or sole surviving Annuitant or upon full annuitization of the Contract.

Change in Annual Charge – The annual charge percentage may increase as a result of any Automatic Reset or Owner-Elected Reset. The annual charge percentage will not exceed the annual charge percentage then in effect for new issues of this same rider or the maximum annual charge percentage of 1.20%. If an Automatic Reset or Owner-Elected Reset never occurs, the annual charge percentage established on the Rider Effective Date is guaranteed not to change.

The OTHER OPTIONAL RIDERS section is amended to include the following:

Flexible Lifetime Income Rider

Purchasing the Flexible Lifetime Income Rider

Subject to state availability, you may purchase this optional Rider on the Contract Date or on any Contract Anniversary (if available) 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 add this Rider to your Contract, you must at all times invest your entire Contract Value in a Model of an asset allocation program established and maintained by us or in the DCA Plus Fixed Option (if available) in conjunction with a Model. (See the HOW YOUR INVESTMENTS ARE ALLOCATED – Portfolio Optimization section in the applicable Prospectus.) A change to a different asset allocation Model will not affect your Rider. However, if you change the allocation percentages within the Model you have selected, you will no longer be participating in the asset allocation program and the Rider will terminate. Further, if you allocate any portion of your Purchase Payments outside your Model allocations or withdraw from the asset allocation program, your Rider will terminate.

We will notify you in writing if any transaction you made will involuntarily cause the Rider to terminate for failure to invest according to an asset allocation program established and maintained by us for this Rider. However, in this case, the Rider will not terminate if, within 14 calendar days after the date of our written notice (“14 day period”), you instruct us to take appropriate corrective action to continue participation in an asset allocation program and continue the Rider. If no instructions are received at our Service Center within the


 

14 day period, we will terminate the Rider, effective on the next Business Day following the end of the 14 day period.

You can purchase either the Flexible Lifetime Income Rider or the Income Access Rider, not both.

On and after February 1, 2007, subject to state availability of the Flexible Lifetime Income Rider, you may elect to exchange the Lifetime Income Access Plus, Income Access Plus or Income Access Riders for the Flexible Lifetime Income Rider on any Contract Anniversary, if available. The initial Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance under the Flexible Lifetime Income Rider will be equal to the Contract Value on that Contract Anniversary. If you elect an exchange, you will be subject to the Flexible Lifetime Income Rider charge in effect at the time of the exchange. We reserve the right to not allow the Flexible Lifetime Income Rider to be purchased on any Contract Anniversary in the future. You should consult a qualified advisor for complete information and advice before making an exchange.

Flexible Lifetime Income 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.

Annual 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 on which an Automatic Reset or an Owner-Elected Reset occurs.

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.

How the Flexible Lifetime Income Rider Works

On any day, this Rider guarantees you can withdraw 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 “Annual Credit”) to be added to the Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance.

In addition, beginning with the first (1st) anniversary of the Rider Effective Date or most recent Reset Date, whichever is later, the Rider provides for Automatic Annual Resets or Owner-Elected Resets of the Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance to an amount equal to 100% of the Contract Value.


 

If applicable, an Annual Credit is added to the Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance prior to any Automatic Reset. If the Contract Value as of that Contract Anniversary is greater than the Protected Payment Base (which includes the Annual Credit amount) then the Protected Payment Base will be automatically reset to equal the Contract Value.

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 Contracts section in the Prospectus.

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. Any portion of the Protected Payment Amount not withdrawn during a Contract Year may not be carried over to the next Contract Year.

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, and
  only 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 younger than age 59 1/2 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 59 1/2 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 will 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 younger Annuitant, in the case of an Owner who is a Non-Natural Owner):

  was younger than age 59 1/2 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 59 1/2 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.


 

Annual Credit

On each Contract Anniversary after the Rider Effective Date, an Annual 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 within the first ten (10) Contract Anniversaries, measured from the Rider Effective Date or the most recent Reset Date, whichever is later.

The Annual 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 Annual Credit is added.

Once a withdrawal has occurred, no Annual Credit will be added to the Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance on any Contract Anniversary following the withdrawal, unless an Automatic Reset or Owner-Elected Reset occurs.

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

Reset of Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance

Regardless of which reset option is used, 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 Annual 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.

Automatic Reset. On each Contract Anniversary while this Rider is in effect and before the Annuity Date and after any Annual Credit is applied, we will automatically reset the Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance to an amount equal to 100% of the Contract Value, if the Protected Payment Base is less than the Contract Value on that Contract Anniversary. The annual charge percentage may change as a result of any Automatic Reset (See Flexible Lifetime Income Rider Annual Charge – Change in Annual Charge).

Automatic Reset – Opt-Out Election. If you are within thirty (30) days after a Contract Anniversary on which an Automatic Reset is effective, you have the option to reinstate the Protected Payment Base, Remaining Protected Balance and any change in the annual charge percentage to their respective amounts immediately before the Automatic Reset.

If you elect this option, your opt-out election must be received, in a form satisfactory to us, at our Service Center within the same thirty (30) period after the Contract Anniversary on which the reset is effective.

Any future Automatic Resets will continue in effect in accordance with the Automatic Reset paragraph above.

Automatic Reset – Future Participation. You may elect not to participate in future Automatic Resets at any time. Your election must be received, in a form satisfactory to us, at our Service Center, while this Rider is in effect and before the Annuity Date. Such election will be effective for future Contract Anniversaries.

If you previously elected not to participate in Automatic Resets, you may re-elect to participate in future Automatic Resets at any time. Your election to resume participation must be received, in a form satisfactory to us,


 

at our Service Center while this Rider is in effect and before the Annuity Date. Such election will be effective for future Contract Anniversaries as described in the Automatic Reset paragraph above.

Owner-Elected Resets (Non-Automatic). 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, you may elect to reset the Remaining Protected Balance and Protected Payment Base to an amount equal to 100% of the Contract Value. An Owner-Elected Reset may be elected while Automatic Resets are in effect. The annual charge percentage may change as a result of this reset.

If you elect this option, your election 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. The reset will be based on the Contract Value as of that Contract Anniversary. Your election of this option may result in a reduction in the Protected Payment Base, Remaining Protected Balance, Protected Payment Amount and any Annual Credit that may be applied. We will provide you with written confirmation of your election.

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.

Annuitization

If you annuitize the Contract at the maximum Annuity Date specified in your Contract and this Rider is still in effect at the time of your election and a Life Only annuity option is chosen, the annuity payments will be equal to the greater of:

  the Life Only annual payment amount based on the terms of your Contract, or
  the Protected Payment Amount in effect at the maximum Annuity Date.

If you annuitize the Contract at any time prior to the maximum Annuity Date specified in your Contract, your annuity payments will be determined in accordance with the terms of your Contract. The Protected Payment Base, Remaining Protected Balance and Protected Payment Amount under this Rider will not be used in determining any annuity payments.

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 any of the reset options available under this Rider for subsequent Contract Anniversaries. If an election to reset is made, whether by an Automatic Reset or an Owner-Elected Reset, then the provisions of this Rider will continue in full force and in effect for the surviving spouse.


 

Termination

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 younger than 59 1/2 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 59 1/2 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 date 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 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 younger than 59 1/2 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 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 59 1/2 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.

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).

Sample Calculations

The examples provided are based on certain hypothetical assumptions and are for example purposes only. The examples 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. The examples are not intended to serve as projections of future investment returns.


 

Example #1 – Setting of Initial Values.

The values shown below are based on the following assumptions:

  Initial Purchase Payment = $100,000
  Rider Effective Date = Contract Date

                                         

Beginning Protected Protected Remaining
of Contract Purchase Contract Value Annual Payment Payment Protected

    1   $100,000       $100,000     $0.00     $100,000   $5,000   $100,000    

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

Example #2 – Subsequent Purchase Payments.

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 $100,000 is received during Contract Year 1.
  No withdrawals taken.
  No automatic resets or Owner-elected resets.

                                         

Beginning Protected Protected Remaining

Year Payment Withdrawal after Activity Credit Base Amount Balance

    1     $100,000         $100,000   $0.00   $100,000   $5,000   $100,000    
    Activity     $100,000         $200,000       $200,000   $10,000   $200,000    
    2               $207,000   $12,000   $212,000   $10,600   $212,000    

Immediately after the $100,000 subsequent Purchase Payment during Contract Year 1, the Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance are increased by the Purchase Payment amount to $200,000 ($100,000 + $100,000). The Protected Payment Amount after the Purchase Payment is equal to $10,000 (5% of the Protected Payment Base after the Purchase Payment since there were no withdrawals during that Contract Year).

Since no withdrawal occurred prior to the Contract Anniversary at the Beginning of Contract Year 2, an annual credit of $12,000 (6% of the initial Remaining Protected Balance plus cumulative Purchase Payments received after the Rider Effective Date) is applied to the Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance on that Contract Anniversary, increasing both to $212,000. As a result, the Protected Payment Amount on that Contract Anniversary is equal to $10,600 (5% of the Protected Payment Base on that Contract Anniversary).

In addition to Purchase Payments, 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 #3 – Withdrawals 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
  A subsequent Purchase Payment of $100,000 is received during Contract Year 1.
  A withdrawal equal to or less than the Protected Payment Amount is taken during Contract Years 2, 3 and 4.
  Automatic resets at Beginning of Contract Years 4 and 5.

For an explanation of the values and activities at the start of and during Contract Year 1, refer to Examples #1 and #2.

As the withdrawal during Contract Year 2 did not exceed the Protected Payment Amount immediately prior to the withdrawal ($10,600):

  (a) the Protected Payment Base remains unchanged; and
  (b) the Remaining Protected Balance is reduced by the amount of the withdrawal to $201,400 ($212,000 – $10,600).

As the withdrawal during Contract Year 3 did not exceed the Protected Payment Amount immediately prior to the withdrawal ($10,600):

  (c) the Protected Payment Base remains unchanged; and
  (d) the Remaining Protected Balance is reduced by the amount of the withdrawal to $190,800 ($201,400 – $10,600).

Because at the Beginning of Contract Year 4, the Protected Payment Base was less than the Contract Value on that Contract Anniversary (see balances at Beginning of Contract Year 4 – Prior to Automatic Reset), an automatic reset occurred which resets the Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance to an amount equal to 100% of the Contract Value (see balances at Beginning of Contract Year 4 – After Automatic Reset). As a result, the Protected Payment Amount is equal to $10,752 (5% of the reset Protected Payment Base).

As the withdrawal during Contract Year 4 did not exceed the Protected Payment Amount immediately prior to the withdrawal ($10,600):

  (e) the Protected Payment Base remains unchanged; and
  (f) the Remaining Protected Balance is reduced by the amount of the withdrawal to $204,452 ($215,452 – $10,600).

Because at the Beginning of Contract Year 5, the Protected Payment Base was less than the Contract Value on that Contract Anniversary (see balances at Beginning of Contract Year 5 – Prior to Automatic Reset), an automatic reset occurred which resets the Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance to an amount equal to 100% of the Contract Value (see balances at Beginning of Contract Year 5 – After Automatic Reset). As a result, the Protected Payment Amount is equal to $10,975 (5% of the reset Protected Payment Base).

Since withdrawals occurred during Contract Years 2, 3 and 4, no annual credit will be applied 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
  A subsequent Purchase Payment of $100,000 is received during Contract Year 1.
  A withdrawal greater than the Protected Payment Amount is taken during Contract Years 2, 3 and 4.
  Automatic resets at Beginning of Contract Years 3, 4 and 5.

For an explanation of the values and activities at the start of and during Contract Year 1, refer to Examples #1 and #2.

Because the $15,000 withdrawal during Contract Year 2 exceeds the Protected Payment Amount immediately prior to the withdrawal ($15,000 >$10,600), 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 ($206,490); or
  (b) the Remaining Protected Balance immediately prior to the withdrawal, less the withdrawal amount ($212,000 – $15,000 = $197,000).

The Protected Payment Amount immediately after the withdrawal is equal to $0 (5% of the Protected Payment Base after the withdrawal (5% of $197,000 = $9,850), less cumulative withdrawals during that Contract Year ($15,000), but not less than zero).

Because at the Beginning of Contract Year 3, the Protected Payment Base was less than the Contract Value on that Contract Anniversary (see balances at Beginning of Contract Year 3 – Prior to Automatic Reset), an automatic reset occurred which resets the Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance to an amount equal to 100% of the Contract Value (see balances at Beginning of Contract Year 3 – After Automatic Reset). As a result, the Protected Payment Amount is equal to $10,325 (5% of the reset Protected Payment Base).

Because the $15,000 withdrawal during Contract Year 3 exceeds the Protected Payment Amount immediately prior to the withdrawal ($15,000 >$10,325), the Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance immediately after the withdrawal are adjusted to the lesser of:

  (c) the Contract Value immediately after the withdrawal ($205,944); or
  (d) the Remaining Protected Balance immediately prior to the withdrawal, less the withdrawal amount ($206,490 – $15,000 = $191,490).

The Protected Payment Amount immediately after the withdrawal is equal to $0 (5% of the Protected Payment Base after the withdrawal (5% of $191,490 = $9,575), less cumulative withdrawals during that Contract Year ($15,000), but not less than zero).

Because at the Beginning of Contract Year 4, the Protected Payment Base was less than the Contract Value on that Contract Anniversary (see balances at Beginning of Contract Year 4 – Prior to Automatic Reset), an automatic reset occurred which resets the Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance to an amount equal to 100% of the Contract Value (see


 

balances at Beginning of Contract Year 4 – After Automatic Reset). As a result, the Protected Payment Amount is equal to $10,297 (5% of the reset Protected Payment Base).

Because the $15,000 withdrawal during Contract Year 4 exceeds the Protected Payment Amount immediately prior to the withdrawal ($15,000 >$10,297), the Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance immediately after the withdrawal are adjusted to the lesser of:

  (e) the Contract Value immediately after the withdrawal ($205,360); or
  (f) the Remaining Protected Balance immediately prior to the withdrawal, less the withdrawal amount ($205,944 – $15,000 = $190,944).

The Protected Payment Amount immediately after the withdrawal is equal to $0 (5% of the Protected Payment Base after the withdrawal (5% of $191,490 = $9,547), less cumulative withdrawals during that Contract Year ($15,000), but not less than zero).

Because at the Beginning of Contract Year 5, the Protected Payment Base was less than the Contract Value on that Contract Anniversary (see balances at Beginning of Contract Year 5 – Prior to Automatic Reset), an automatic reset occurred which resets the Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance to an amount equal to 100% of the Contract Value (see balances at Beginning of Contract Year 5 – After Automatic Reset). As a result, the Protected Payment Amount is equal to $10,268 (5% of the reset Protected Payment Base).

Since withdrawals occurred during Contract Years 2, 3 and 4, no annual credit will be applied to the Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance on any Contract Anniversary following the withdrawal.


 

Example #5 – 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 59 1/2 or older when the first withdrawal was taken
  Withdrawals, each equal to 5% of the Protected Payment Base are taken each Contract Year.
  No automatic reset or Owner-elected reset is assumed during the life of the Rider.

    34   $5,000     $0     $0   $100,000   $5,000     $0      

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 59 1/2 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.

Example #6 — RMD Withdrawals

The effect of cumulative RMD Withdrawals during the Contract Year that exceed the Protected Payment Amount established for that Contract Year and its effect on the Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance. The Annual RMD Amount is based on the entire interest of your Contract as of the previous year-end.

This table assumes quarterly withdrawals of only the Annual RMD Amount during the Contract Year. The calculated Annual RMD amount for the Calendar Year is $7,500 and the Contract Anniversary is May 1 of each year.

Contract Anniversary
                            $100,000       $5,000       $90,500      

Because all withdrawals during the Contract Year were RMD Withdrawals, there is no adjustment to the Protected Payment Base for exceeding the Protected Payment Amount. The only effect is a reduction in the Remaining Protected Balance equal to the amount of each withdrawal. In addition, the Protected Payment Amount is reduced by the amount of each withdrawal until the Protected Payment Amount is zero.


 

This chart assumes quarterly withdrawals of the Annual RMD Amount and other non-RMD Withdrawals during the Contract Year. The calculated Annual RMD amount and Contract Anniversary are the same as above.

    09/15/2007     $1,875                       $100,000       $1,250       $92,375      
    11/15/2007             $4,000               $88,375       $0       $88,375      

On 3/15/07 there was an RMD Withdrawal of $1,875 and on 4/1/07 a non-RMD Withdrawal of $2,000. Because the total withdrawals during the Contract Year (5/1/06 through 4/30/07) did not exceed the Protected Payment Amount of $5,000 there was no adjustment to the Protected Payment Base. The only effect is a reduction in the Remaining Protected Balance and the Protected Payment Amount equal to the amount of each withdrawal. On 5/1/07, the Protected Payment Amount was re-calculated (5% of the Protected Payment Base) as of that Contract Anniversary.

On 11/15/07, there was a Non-RMD Withdrawal ($4,000) that caused the cumulative withdrawals during the Contract Year ($7,750) to exceed the Protected Payment Amount ($5,000). Because the $4,000 Non-RMD Withdrawal exceeds the Protected Payment Amount, the Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance immediately after the withdrawal are reset to the lesser of: (a) the Contract Value immediately after the withdrawal; or (b) the Remaining Protected Balance immediately before the withdrawal, less the withdrawal amount.

Assuming that the Contract Value immediately after the withdrawal was $90,000, the Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected balance will be reset to $88,375 ($92,375-$4,000=$88,375) which is the Remaining Protected Balance immediately before the withdrawal, less the withdrawal amount.
