Information required to be included in Part C is set forth under the appropriate Item, so numbered, in Part C to this Registration Statement.

Capitalized terms used in this supplement are defined in the Prospectus 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 Explorer Prospectus dated June 29, 2007, as supplemented. The changes in this supplement are effective February 1, 2008.

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

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, and provides the potential to receive 5% of a Protected Payment Base for life. This Rider also provides an Annual Credit of [ ]% added to your Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance for up to a [ ] year period (provided you do not take any withdrawals) which can increase the amount you may withdraw in future years. The Annual Credit is not added to your Contract Value. If your total withdrawals in a Contract Year exceed the annual withdrawal amount allowed under the Rider, then the Protected Payment Base may decrease and the amount you may withdraw in the future under the Rider may be reduced. 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 (1^st) 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 1.50%) associated with the Rider. (Protected Payment Base, Remaining Protected Balance, Annual Credit, Automatic Reset, Owner-Elected Reset and Reset Date are described in the OTHER OPTIONAL RIDERS – [Flexible Lifetime Income Rider II] section of this Supplement.)

This Rider is called the [Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit Rider II] in the Contract’s Rider.

The optional GPA 3 Rider allows for an additional amount that may be added to your Contract Value at the end of a 10-year period (the “Term”). The Rider also provides for an additional option (the “Step-Up”) on any Contract Anniversary beginning with the 3rd anniversary of the Rider Effective Date and before the Annuity Date. If the Step-Up is elected, your 10-year Term would begin again as of the effective date of the Step-Up election, and may include an increase in the annual charge percentage (up to a maximum of 1.00%) associated with the Rider.

If you buy the [Flexible Lifetime Income Rider II], the annual charge is equal to the current charge percentage multiplied by the Protected Payment Base. For a complete explanation of the Protected Payment Base, see the OTHER OPTIONAL RIDERS – [Flexible Lifetime Income Rider II] section of this supplement. 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. 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 annual charge is only waived for the Contract Year that death or annuitization occurs.

If you buy the GPA 3 Rider, the annual charge is equal to the current charge percentage multiplied by the Guaranteed Protection Amount. For a complete description of the Guaranteed Protection Amount, see the OTHER OPTIONAL RIDERS – Guaranteed Protection Advantage 3 (GPA 3) section of this supplement. 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 you terminate the Rider. Under the terms and conditions of the Rider, the annual charge percentage may increase if a Step-Up is elected but will never be more than the maximum charge percentage. The annual charge is only waived for the Contract Year that death or annuitization occurs.

The following examples are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in your Contract with the cost of investing in other variable annuity contracts. The maximum amounts reflected below include the maximum periodic Contract expenses, Separate Account annual expenses and the Portfolio with the highest fees and expenses for the year ended December 31, 2006. The maximum amounts also include the combination of optional Riders whose cumulative maximum charge expenses totaled more than any other optional Rider combination. The optional Riders included are the SDBR, EEG, [Flexible Lifetime Income II], GPA 3 and GIA Plus Riders. The minimum amounts reflected below include the maximum periodic Contract expenses, Separate Account annual expenses and the Portfolio with the lowest fees and expenses for the year ended December 31, 2006. The minimum amounts do not include any optional Riders.

The examples assume that you invest $10,000 in the Contract for the time periods indicated. They also assume that your Investment has a 5% return each year and assumes the maximum and minimum fees and expenses of all of the Investment Options available. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your maximum and minimum costs would be:


•	If you did not surrender, nor annuitize, but left the money in your Contract:

†

In calculating the examples above, we used the maximum and minimum total operating expenses of all the Portfolios as shown in the Fees And Expenses section of the Pacific Select Fund’s Prospectus. For more information on fees and expenses, see CHARGES, FEES AND DEDUCTIONS in the Explorer Prospectus, and see the Fund’s Prospectus. See the FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS section in the Prospectus for condensed financial information about the Subaccounts.

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 [ ]% (not to exceed a maximum annual charge percentage of 1.50%) 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

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 [ ]% (not to exceed a maximum annual charge percentage of 1.00%) multiplied by the Guaranteed Protection Amount 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 Guaranteed Protection Amount 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 a Step-Up. 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 1.00%. If a Step-Up never occurs, the annual charge percentage established on the Rider Effective Date is guaranteed not to change.

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 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 for this Rider 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 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.

You can only purchase one [Flexible Lifetime Income Rider II], Flexible Lifetime Income Rider (Single), Flexible Lifetime Income Rider (Joint), or Income Access Rider. These Riders may not be owned or in effect at the same time.

Subject to state availability, you may elect to exchange the Income Access Rider for the [Flexible Lifetime Income Rider II] on any Contract Anniversary. The initial Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance under the new Rider will be equal to the Contract Value on that Contract Anniversary. Your election of this option may result in a reduction in the Protected Payment Base, Remaining Protected Balance and Protected Payment Amount. If you elect an exchange, you will be subject to the charge for the new Rider in effect at the time of the exchange.

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.

Maximum Credit Base – An amount equal to [ ]% of the Remaining Protected Balance as of the Rider Effective Date and any subsequent Purchase Payments made during the first year that the Rider is in effect plus [ ]% of all subsequent Purchase Payments made after the first year.

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.

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 if no withdrawals are taken.

In addition, beginning with the first (1^st) 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 and Remaining Protected Balance 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. Withdrawals under this Rider are not annuity payouts. Annuity payouts generally receive a more favorable tax treatment than other withdrawals.

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.

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.

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 this Contract only, 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.

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.

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 the Protected Payment Amount, 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.

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,
	•	that Contract Anniversary is within the first [ ] Contract Anniversaries, measured from the Rider Effective Date, and
	•	the Remaining Protected Balance is less than the Maximum Credit Base.


	•	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 the most recent Reset Date, whichever is later,

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. In addition, Annual Credit eligibility cannot be reinstated by any Automatic or Owner-Elected Reset.

Annual Credits will not increase your cost basis and when distributed, may be recognizable as taxable ordinary income. The Annual Credit is not added to your Contract Value.

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, except that eligibility for the Annual Credit cannot be reinstated with a Reset. 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.

If a withdrawal is taken, the Annual Credit will no longer be applied and cannot be restarted with an Automatic or Owner-Elected Reset. In addition, an Automatic or Owner-Elected Reset will not start a new [ ] year period for Annual Credit eligibility.

Automatic Reset. On each Contract Anniversary while this Rider is in effect and before the Annuity Date, 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, after any Annual Credit is applied, is less than the Contract Value on that Contract Anniversary. The annual charge percentage may change as a result of any Automatic Reset (See the CHARGES, FEES AND DEDUCTIONS – Optional Rider Charges section in this supplement). A Reset does not begin a new [ ] year period for the Annual Credit to be applied.

Automatic Reset – Opt-Out Election. If you are within 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 annual charge percentage to their respective amounts immediately before the Automatic Reset. Any future Automatic Resets will continue in effect in accordance with the Automatic Reset paragraph above. 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 30 day period after the Contract Anniversary on which the reset is effective.

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). You may, on any Contract Anniversary, 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 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

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 (1^st) 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.

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
	•	5% of the Protected Payment Base 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.

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.

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 Rider will not terminate when you are using the DCA Plus program in conjunction with a Model of such a program),
	•	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,
	•	for Contracts with a Non-Natural Owner, the date of the first death of an Annuitant, including Primary, Joint and Contingent Annuitants,
	•	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).

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.


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


	•	Protected Payment Base = Initial Purchase Payment = $100,000
	•	Remaining Protected Balance = Initial Purchase Payment = $100,000
	•	Protected Payment Amount = [ ]% of Protected Payment Base = $5,000
	•	Maximum Credit Base = [ ]% of the Initial Purchase Payment = [$0]


	•	Initial Purchase Payment = $100,000
	•	Rider Effective Date = Contract Date
	•	A subsequent Purchase Payment of $100,000 is received during Contract Years 1 and 2.
	•	No withdrawals taken.
	•	Automatic reset at Beginning of Contract Year 10.

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). Since the subsequent Purchase Payment is received in Contract Year 1, the Maximum Credit Base is increased by [ ]% of the

Since no withdrawal occurred prior to the Contract Anniversary at the Beginning of Contract Year 2, an annual credit of [$0] ([ ]% 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 [$0]. As a result, the Protected Payment Amount on that Contract Anniversary is equal to [$0] ([ ]% of the Protected Payment Base on that Contract Anniversary).

Immediately after the $100,000 subsequent Purchase Payment during Contract Year 2, the Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance are increased by the Purchase Payment amount to [$0] ([$0] + [$0]). Since the subsequent Purchase Payment is received in Contract Year 2, the Maximum Credit Base is increased by 100% of the Purchase Payment, to [$0]. The Protected Payment Amount after the Purchase Payment is equal to [$0] (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 3, an annual credit of [$0] ([ ]% 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 [$0]. As a result, the Protected Payment Amount on that Contract Anniversary is equal to [$0] ([ ]% of the Protected Payment Base on that Contract Anniversary).

An Annual Credit is no longer applied after the Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance reach the Maximum Credit Base of [$0] in Contract Year 8.

Because at the Beginning of Contract Year 10, the Protected Payment Base was less than the Contract Value on that Contract Anniversary (see balances at Beginning of Contract Year 10 – 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 10 – After Automatic Reset). As a result, the Protected Payment Amount is equal to [$0] ([ ]% of the reset Protected Payment Base).

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.


	•	Initial Purchase Payment = $100,000
	•	Rider Effective Date = Contract Date
	•	A subsequent Purchase Payment of $100,000 is received during Contract Years 1 and 2.
	•	A withdrawal equal to or less than the Protected Payment Amount is taken during Contract Years 3 and 4.
	•	Automatic reset at Beginning of Contract Year 6.

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 3 did not exceed the Protected Payment Amount immediately prior to the withdrawal ([$0]):

As the withdrawal during Contract Year 4 did not exceed the Protected Payment Amount immediately prior to the withdrawal ([$0]):

Because at the Beginning of Contract Year 6, the Protected Payment Base was less than the Contract Value on that Contract Anniversary (see balances at Beginning of Contract Year 6 – Prior to Automatic Reset), an automatic reset occurred which resets the Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance to an amount equal to [0]% of the Contract Value (see balances at Beginning of Contract Year 6 – After Automatic Reset). As a result, the Protected Payment Amount is equal to [$0] ([0]% of the reset Protected Payment Base).

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


	•	Initial Purchase Payment = $100,000
	•	Rider Effective Date = Contract Date
	•	A subsequent Purchase Payment of $100,000 is received during Contract Years 1 and 2.
	•	A withdrawal greater than the Protected Payment Amount is taken during Contract Years 3 and 4.
	•	Automatic resets at Beginning of Contract Years 5 and 6.

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 [$0] withdrawal during Contract Year 3 exceeds the Protected Payment Amount immediately prior to the withdrawal ([$0]> [$0]), the Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance immediately after the withdrawal are adjusted to the lesser of:

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

Because the [$0] withdrawal during Contract Year 4 exceeds the Protected Payment Amount immediately prior to the withdrawal ([$0]> [$0]), the Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected Balance immediately after the withdrawal are adjusted to the lesser of:

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 [$0] ([0]% of the reset Protected Payment Base).

Because at the Beginning of Contract Year 6, the Protected Payment Base was less than the Contract Value on that Contract Anniversary (see balances at Beginning of Contract Year 6 – 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 6 – After Automatic Reset). As a result, the Protected Payment Amount is equal to [$0] ([0]% of the reset Protected Payment Base).

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.

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.

On 3/15/07 there was an RMD Withdrawal of [$0] and on 4/1/07 a non-RMD Withdrawal of [$0]. 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 ([0]% of the Protected Payment Base) as of that Contract Anniversary.

On 11/15/07, there was a Non-RMD Withdrawal ([$0]) that caused the cumulative withdrawals during the Contract Year ([$0]) to exceed the Protected Payment Amount ([$0]). Because the [$0] 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 [$0], the Protected Payment Base and Remaining Protected balance will be reset to [$0] ([$0] - [$0] = [$0]) which is the Remaining Protected Balance immediately before the withdrawal, less the withdrawal amount.


	•	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 [0]% 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.


	•	Protected Payment Base = Initial Purchase Payment = [$0]
	•	Remaining Protected Balance = Initial Purchase Payment = [$0]
	•	Protected Payment Amount = [0]% of Protected Payment Base = [$0]

Because the amount of each withdrawal does not exceed the Protected Payment Amount immediately prior to the withdrawal ([$0]): (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.

Subject to state availability, you may purchase the optional GPA 3 Rider on the Contract Date or on any subsequent Contract Anniversary if:


	•	the age of each Annuitant is 85 years or younger on the date of purchase,
	•	the date of the purchase is at least 10 years before your selected Annuity Date, and
	•	you use an asset allocation program established and maintained by us for this Rider during the entire period that the Rider is in effect.

Only one GPA 3 or Guaranteed Protection Advantage 5 (GPA 5) Rider may be owned or in effect at the same time. You may elect to terminate an existing GPA 5 Rider and purchase the GPA 3 Rider, if available, on any Contract Anniversary. The GPA 3 Guaranteed Protection Amount will be equal to the Contract Value on that Contract Anniversary.

If you purchase the GPA 3 Rider the Rider will remain in effect, unless otherwise terminated, for a 10-year period (the “Term”) beginning on the Effective Date of the Rider.

On the last day of the Term, we will add an additional amount to your Contract Value if, on that day, the Contract Value is less than the Guaranteed Protection Amount. The additional amount will be equal to the difference between the Contract Value on the last day of the Term and the Guaranteed Protection Amount. The additional amount added to the Contract Value will be considered earnings and allocated to your Investment Options according to the allocations used in your most recent asset allocation program. Additional Purchase Payments that are not part of the Guaranteed Protection Amount (Purchase Payments made after the first Contract year the Rider was in effect and were not included in a Step-Up) will not be included in the benefit calculation at the end of Term.

The Guaranteed Protection Amount is equal to (a) plus (b) minus (c) as indicated below:


	(a)	is the Contract Value at the start of the Term,


	(b)	is the amount of each subsequent Purchase Payment received during the first year of the Term, and


	(c)	is a pro rata adjustment for withdrawals made from the Contract during the Term. The adjustment for each withdrawal is calculated by multiplying the Guaranteed Protection Amount prior to the withdrawal by the ratio of the amount of the withdrawal, including any applicable withdrawal charges, premium taxes, and/or other taxes, to the Contract Value immediately prior to the withdrawal.

For purposes of determining the Contract Value at the start of the Term, if the Effective Date of the Rider is the Contract Date, the Contract Value is equal to the initial Purchase Payment. If the Effective Date of the Rider is a Contract Anniversary, the Contract Value is equal to the Contract Value on that Contract Anniversary. Any subsequent Purchase Payments received after the first year of a Term are not included in the Guaranteed Protection Amount.

If, on the last day of the Term, the Contract is annuitized, the first death of an Owner or the death of the last surviving Annuitant occurs, or a full withdrawal is made, the Contract Value will reflect any additional amount owed under the GPA 3 Rider before the payment of any annuity or death benefits, or full withdrawal. No additional amount will be made if the Contract Value on the last day of the Term is greater than or equal to the Guaranteed Protection Amount.

On any Contract Anniversary beginning with the third (3^rd) anniversary of the Effective Date of this Rider and before the Annuity Date, you may elect to increase (“Step-Up”) your Guaranteed Protection Amount.


	•	your election of a Step-Up must be received, in a form satisfactory to us, at our Service Center within 30 days after the Contract Anniversary on which the Step-Up is effective,


	•	the Guaranteed Protection Amount will be equal to your Contract Value as of the Effective Date of the Step-Up (“Step-Up Date”),
	•	a new 10-year Term will begin as of the Step-Up Date, and
	•	you may not elect another Step-Up until on or after the 3^rd anniversary of the latest Step-Up Date.

We will not permit a Step-Up if the new 10-year Term will extend beyond the Annuity Date.

The GPA 3 annual charge percentage may increase if you elect a Step-Up, but it will never be more than the maximum annual charge percentage associated with the Rider. If you do not elect any Step-Up of the Guaranteed Protection Amount during the Term of the Rider, your GPA 3 annual charge percentage will remain the same as it was on the Effective Date of the Rider.

If the Owner dies during the Term and the surviving spouse of the deceased Owner elects to continue the Contract in accordance with its terms, then the provisions of the Rider will continue until the end of the Term.

The Rider will automatically terminate at the end of the Term, or, if earlier on:


	•	the day any portion of the Contract Value is no longer invested in an asset allocation program established and maintained by us for the Rider (the Rider will not terminate when you are using the DCA Plus program in conjunction with a Model of such a program),
	•	the day we receive notification from the Owner to terminate the Rider,
	•	the date a full withdrawal of the amount available for withdrawal is made under the Contract,
	•	the date of the first death of an Owner or the date of death of the last surviving Annuitant,
	•	for Contracts with a Non-Natural Owner, the date of the first death of an Annuitant, including Primary, Joint and Contingent Annuitants,
	•	the date the Contract is terminated according to the provisions of the Contract, or
	•	the Annuity Date.

If your request to terminate the Rider is received at our Service Center within 30 days after a Contract Anniversary, the Rider will terminate on that Contract Anniversary. If your request to terminate the Rider is received at our Service Center more than 30 days after a Contract Anniversary, the Rider will terminate the day we receive the request.

If the Rider is terminated, you must wait until a Contract Anniversary that is at least one (1) year from the Effective Date of the termination before the Rider may be purchased again (if available).

The numeric examples provided are based on certain 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 Step-Ups, Purchase Payments and withdrawals made from the Contract prior to the end of a 10-year Term affect the values and benefits under this Rider. The examples are not intended to serve as projections of future investment returns.


	•	Initial Purchase Payment = $100,000
	•	Rider Effective Date = Contract Date
	•	A subsequent Purchase Payment of $20,000 is received in Contract Year 1 and $10,000 is received in Contract Year 4.
	•	A withdrawal of $10,000 is taken during Contract Year 7.

During Contract Year 1, an additional Purchase Payment of $20,000 was made. Since this Purchase Payment was made during the first Contract Year, the Guaranteed Protection Amount will be increased by $20,000 to $120,000.

During Contract Year 4, an additional Purchase Payment of $10,000 was made. However, this Purchase Payment will not increase the Guaranteed Protection Amount because it was not made during the first Contract Year (or first year of the 10-Year Term).

On the 6^th Contract Anniversary, there was an optional Step-Up elected. The Step-Up will reset the Guaranteed Protection Amount equal to the Contract Value ($124,622) as of that Contract Anniversary.

During Contract Year 7, a withdrawal of $10,000 was made. This withdrawal will reduce the Guaranteed Protection Amount on a pro-rata basis and will result in a new Guaranteed Protected Amount of $114,172.

At the end of Contract Year 15 (end of the 10-Year Term) the Contract Value ($88,664) is less than the Guaranteed Protection Amount ($114,172). Therefore, $25,508 ($114,172 - $88,664 = $25,508) is added to the Contract Value and the Rider terminates.
