STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
(Included in Registrant’s Form N-4, File No. 333-60833, Accession No. 0000950123-11-036409 filed on April 18, 2011 and incorporated by reference herein.)


 

Supplement dated September 6, 2011 to the Prospectus dated May 1, 2011 for the
Pacific Value variable annuity contract issued by Pacific Life Insurance Company
 
 
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 Prospectus dated May 1, 2011, as supplemented.
 
THIS SUPPLEMENT ONLY APPLIES TO CONTRACTS ISSUED IN CALIFORNIA.
 
The OTHER OPTIONAL RIDERS section is amended as follows:
 
The CoreIncome Advantage Plus (Single) and CoreIncome Advantage 5 Plus (Single) subsections are replaced with the following:
 
CoreIncome Advantage Plus (Single)
 
Purchasing the Rider
 
You may purchase this optional Rider on the Contract Date or on any Contract Anniversary if the age of each Annuitant is 85 years or younger on the date of purchase, the Contract is not issued as an Inherited IRA, Inherited Roth IRA or Inherited TSA, and you allocate your entire Contract Value according to the Investment Allocation Requirements.
 
Rider Terms
 
Annual RMD Amount – The amount required to be distributed each Calendar Year for purposes of satisfying the minimum distribution requirements of Code Section 401(a)(9) (“Section 401(a)(9)”) and related Code provisions in effect as of the Rider Effective Date.
 
Early Withdrawal – Any withdrawal that occurs before the oldest Owner (or youngest Annuitant, in the case of a Non-Natural Owner or if this Rider is issued in California) is 591/2 years of age.
 
Excess Withdrawal – Any withdrawal (except an RMD withdrawal) that occurs after the oldest Owner (or youngest Annuitant, in the case of a Non-Natural Owner or if this Rider is issued in California) is age 591/2 or older and exceeds the Protected Payment Amount.
 
Protected Payment Amount – The maximum amount that can be withdrawn under this Rider without reducing the Protected Payment Base. If the oldest Owner (or youngest Annuitant, in the case of a Non-Natural Owner or if this Rider is issued in California) is 591/2 years of age or older, the Protected Payment Amount is equal to 4% of the Protected Payment Base, less cumulative withdrawals during that Contract Year and will be reset to 4% of the Protected Payment Base each Contract Anniversary. If the oldest Owner (or youngest Annuitant, in the case of a Non-Natural Owner or if this Rider is issued in California) is younger than 591/2 years of age, the Protected Payment Amount is equal to zero (0); however, once the oldest Owner (or youngest Annuitant, in the case of a Non-Natural Owner or if this Rider is issued in California) reaches age 591/2, the Protected Payment Amount will equal 4% of the Protected Payment Base and will be reset each Contract Anniversary. The initial Protected Payment Amount will depend upon the age of the oldest Owner (or youngest Annuitant, in the case of a Non-Natural Owner or if this Rider is issued in California).
 
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. The initial Protected Payment Base is equal to the initial Purchase Payment, if the Rider Effective Date is on the Contract Date, or the Contract Value, if the Rider Effective Date is on a Contract Anniversary.
 
Reset Date – Any Contract Anniversary after the Rider Effective Date on which an Automatic Reset or an Owner-Elected Reset occurs.
 
Rider Effective Date – The date the guarantees and charges for the Rider become effective. If the Rider is purchased within 60 days of the Contract Date, the Rider Effective Date is the Contract Date. If the Rider is purchased within 60 days of a Contract Anniversary, the Rider Effective Date is the date of that Contract Anniversary.
 
How the Rider Works
 
On any day, this Rider guarantees you can withdraw up to the Protected Payment Amount, regardless of market performance, until the Rider terminates. Beginning with the 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 to an amount equal to 100% of the Contract Value. Once the Rider is purchased, you cannot request a termination of the Rider (see the Termination subsection of this Rider for more information).
 
If the oldest Owner (or youngest Annuitant, in the case of a Non-Natural Owner or if this Rider is issued in California) is 591/2 years of age or older, the Protected Payment Amount is 4% of the Protected Payment Base. If the oldest Owner (or youngest Annuitant, in the


 

case of a Non-Natural Owner or if this Rider is issued in California) is younger than 591/2 years of age, the Protected Payment Amount is zero (0).
 
The Protected Payment Base may change over time. An Automatic Reset or Owner-Elected Reset will increase or decrease the Protected Payment Base depending on the Contract Value on the Reset Date. A withdrawal that is less than or equal to the Protected Payment Amount will not change the Protected Payment Base. If a withdrawal is greater than the Protected Payment Amount and the Contract Value is less than the Protected Payment Base, the Protected Payment Base will be reduced by an amount that is greater than the excess amount withdrawn. For withdrawals that are greater than the Protected Payment Amount, see the Withdrawal of Protected Payment Amount subsection below.
 
For purposes of this Rider, the term “withdrawal” includes any applicable withdrawal charges. 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, including an IRA or TSA/403(b) Contract, you are subject to restrictions on withdrawals you may take prior to a triggering event (e.g. reaching age 591/2, separation from service, disability) and you should consult your tax or legal advisor prior to purchasing this optional guarantee, the primary benefit of which is guaranteeing withdrawals. For additional information regarding withdrawals and triggering events, see the FEDERAL TAX ISSUES – IRAs and Qualified Plans section in the Prospectus.
 
Withdrawal of Protected Payment Amount
 
When the oldest Owner (youngest Annuitant, in the case of a Non-Natural Owner or if this Rider is issued in California) is 591/2 years of age or older, you may withdraw up to the Protected Payment Amount each Contract Year, regardless of market performance, until the Rider terminates. The Protected Payment Amount will be reduced by the amount withdrawn during the Contract Year and will be reset each Contract Anniversary to 4% of the Protected Payment Base. 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.
 
Withdrawals Exceeding the Protected Payment Amount. If a withdrawal (except an RMD withdrawal) exceeds the Protected Payment Amount immediately prior to that withdrawal, we will (immediately following the withdrawal) reduce the Protected Payment Base on a proportionate basis for the amount in excess of the Protected Payment Amount. (See example 4 in the COREINCOME ADVANTAGE PLUS (SINGLE AND JOINT) SAMPLE CALCULATIONS appendix in the Prospectus for a numerical example of the adjustments to the Protected Payment Base as a result of an Excess Withdrawal.) If a withdrawal is greater than the Protected Payment Amount and the Contract Value is less than the Protected Payment Base, the Protected Payment Base will be reduced by an amount that is greater than the excess amount withdrawn.
 
The amount available for withdrawal under the Contract must be sufficient to support any withdrawal that would otherwise exceed the Protected Payment Amount.
 
For information regarding taxation of withdrawals, see the FEDERAL TAX ISSUES section in the Prospectus.
 
Early Withdrawal
 
If an Early Withdrawal occurs, we will (immediately following the Early Withdrawal) reduce the Protected Payment Base either on a proportionate basis or by the total withdrawal amount, whichever results in a lower Protected Payment Base. See example 5 in the COREINCOME ADVANTAGE PLUS (SINGLE AND JOINT) SAMPLE CALCULATIONS appendix in the Prospectus for a numerical example of the adjustments to the Protected Payment Base as a result of an Early Withdrawal.
 
Required Minimum Distributions
 
No adjustment will be made to the Protected Payment Base as a result of a withdrawal that 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.
 
See example 6 in the COREINCOME ADVANTAGE PLUS (SINGLE AND JOINT) SAMPLE CALCULATIONS appendix in the Prospectus for numerical examples that describe what occurs when only withdrawals of the Annual RMD Amount are made during a Contract Year and when withdrawals of the Annual RMD Amount plus other non-RMD Withdrawals are made during a Contract Year.


 

See the FEDERAL TAX ISSUES – Qualified Contracts – Required Minimum Distributions section in the Prospectus.
 
Depletion of Contract Value
 
If the oldest Owner (or youngest Annuitant, in the case of a Non-Natural Owner or if this Rider is issued in California) is younger than age 591/2 when the Contract Value is zero, the Rider will terminate.
 
If the oldest Owner (or youngest Annuitant, in the case of a Non-Natural Owner or if this Rider is issued in California) is age 591/2 or older and the Contract Value was reduced to zero by a withdrawal that exceeds the Protected Payment Amount, the Rider will terminate.
 
If the oldest Owner (or youngest Annuitant, in the case of a Non-Natural Owner or if this Rider is issued in California) is age 591/2 or older and the Contract Value was reduced to zero by a withdrawal (including an RMD withdrawal) that did not exceed the Protected Payment Amount, the following will apply:
 
  •  the Protected Payment Amount will be paid each year until the date of death of an Owner or the date of death of the sole surviving Annuitant (first Annuitant in the case of a Non-Natural Owner),
 
  •  the Protected Payment Amount 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, and
 
  •  the Contract will cease to provide any death benefit.
 
Reset of Protected Payment Base
 
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. The limitations and restrictions on Purchase Payments and withdrawals, the deduction of Rider charges and any future reset options available on and after the Reset Date, will again apply and will be measured from that Reset Date. A reset occurs when the Protected Payment Base is changed to an amount equal to the Contract Value as of the Reset Date.
 
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 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 the CHARGES, FEES AND DEDUCTIONS – Optional Rider Charges section in the Prospectus).
 
Automatic Reset – Opt-Out Election. Within 60 days after a Contract Anniversary on which an Automatic Reset is effective, you have the option to reinstate the Protected Payment Base, Protected Payment Amount and annual charge percentage to their respective amounts immediately before the Automatic Reset. Any future Automatic Resets will continue 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 60 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 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 60 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 and Protected Payment Amount. Generally, the reduction will occur when your Contract Value is less than the Protected Payment Base as of the Contract Anniversary you elected the reset. You are strongly advised to work with your financial advisor prior to electing an Owner-Elected Reset. 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 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 1st Contract Anniversary or most recent Reset Date to exceed $100,000 without our prior approval.
 
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 fixed annuity option is chosen, the annuity payments will be equal to the greater of:
 
  •  the Life Only fixed 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 and Protected Payment Amount under this Rider will not be used in determining any annuity payments. Work with your financial advisor to determine if you should annuitize your Contract before the maximum Annuity Date or stay in the accumulation phase and continue to take withdrawals under the Rider.
 
Continuation of Rider if Surviving Spouse Continues Contract
 
This Rider terminates upon the death of an Owner or sole surviving Annuitant. If the surviving spouse continues the Contract, the surviving spouse may re-purchase this Rider (if available) on any Contract Anniversary. The existing protected balances will not carry over to the new Rider.
 
The surviving spouse may elect to receive any death benefit proceeds instead of continuing the Contract (see the DEATH BENEFITS AND OPTIONAL DEATH BENEFIT RIDERS – Death Benefits subsection in the Prospectus).
 
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 allocated according to the Investment Allocation Requirements,
 
  •  the date of the death of an Owner or the date of death of the sole surviving Annuitant,
 
  •  for Contracts with a Non-Natural Owner, the date of death of any 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 to a non-spouse Owner if the Contract is Non-Qualified (excluding changes in ownership to or from certain trusts or if this Rider is issued in California),
 
  •  the day the Contingent Annuitant becomes the Annuitant (if this Rider is issued in California),
 
  •  the day you exchange this Rider for another withdrawal benefit Rider,
 
  •  the Annuity Date (see the Annuitization subsection for additional information),
 
  •  the day the Contract Value is reduced to zero as a result of a withdrawal (except an RMD withdrawal) that exceeds the Protected Payment Amount, or
 
  •  the day the Contract Value is reduced to zero if the oldest Owner (or youngest Annuitant, in the case of a Non-Natural Owner or if this Rider is issued in California) is younger than age 591/2.
 
The Rider and the Contract will not terminate the day the Contract Value is zero and you begin taking pre-authorized withdrawals of the Protected Payment Amount (see the Depletion of Contract Value subsection). In this case, the Rider and the Contract will terminate the date of death of an Owner or the date of death of the sole surviving Annuitant.
 
Sample Calculations
 
Hypothetical sample calculations are in the COREINCOME ADVANTAGE PLUS (SINGLE AND JOINT) SAMPLE CALCULATIONS appendix in the Prospectus. The examples are based on certain hypothetical assumptions and are for example purposes only. These examples are not intended to serve as projections of future investment returns.


 

 
CoreIncome Advantage 5 Plus (Single)
 
Purchasing the Rider
 
You may purchase this optional Rider on the Contract Date or on any Contract Anniversary if the age of each Annuitant is 85 years or younger on the date of purchase, the Contract is not issued as an Inherited IRA, Inherited Roth IRA or Inherited TSA, and you allocate your entire Contract Value according to the Investment Allocation Requirements.
 
Rider Terms
 
Annual RMD Amount – The amount required to be distributed each Calendar Year for purposes of satisfying the minimum distribution requirements of Code Section 401(a)(9) (“Section 401(a)(9)”) and related Code provisions in effect as of the Rider Effective Date.
 
Early Withdrawal – Any withdrawal that occurs before the oldest Owner (or youngest Annuitant, in the case of a Non-Natural Owner or if this Rider is issued in California) is 591/2 years of age.
 
Excess Withdrawal – Any withdrawal (except an RMD withdrawal) that occurs after the oldest Owner (or youngest Annuitant, in the case of a Non-Natural Owner or if this Rider is issued in California) is age 591/2 or older and exceeds the Protected Payment Amount.
 
Protected Payment Amount – The maximum amount that can be withdrawn under this Rider without reducing the Protected Payment Base. If the oldest Owner (or youngest Annuitant, in the case of a Non-Natural Owner or if this Rider is issued in California) is 591/2 years of age or older, the Protected Payment Amount is equal to 5% of the Protected Payment Base, less cumulative withdrawals during that Contract Year and will be reset to 5% of the Protected Payment Base each Contract Anniversary. If the oldest Owner (or youngest Annuitant, in the case of a Non-Natural Owner or if this Rider is issued in California) is younger than 591/2 years of age, the Protected Payment Amount is equal to zero (0); however, once the oldest Owner (or youngest Annuitant, in the case of a Non-Natural Owner or if this Rider is issued in California) reaches age 591/2, the Protected Payment Amount will equal 5% of the Protected Payment Base and will be reset each Contract Anniversary. The initial Protected Payment Amount will depend upon the age of the oldest Owner (or youngest Annuitant, in the case of a Non-Natural Owner or if this Rider is issued in California).
 
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. The initial Protected Payment Base is equal to the initial Purchase Payment, if the Rider Effective Date is on the Contract Date, or the Contract Value, if the Rider Effective Date is on a Contract Anniversary.
 
Reset Date – Any Contract Anniversary after the Rider Effective Date on which an Automatic Reset or an Owner-Elected Reset occurs.
 
Rider Effective Date – The date the guarantees and charges for the Rider become effective. If the Rider is purchased within 60 days of the Contract Date, the Rider Effective Date is the Contract Date. If the Rider is purchased within 60 days of a Contract Anniversary, the Rider Effective Date is the date of that Contract Anniversary.
 
How the Rider Works
 
On any day, this Rider guarantees you can withdraw up to the Protected Payment Amount, regardless of market performance, until the Rider terminates. Beginning with the 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 to an amount equal to 100% of the Contract Value. Once the Rider is purchased, you cannot request a termination of the Rider (see the Termination subsection of this Rider for more information).
 
If the oldest Owner (or youngest Annuitant, in the case of a Non-Natural Owner or if this Rider is issued in California) is 591/2 years of age or older, the Protected Payment Amount is 5% of the Protected Payment Base. If the oldest Owner (or youngest Annuitant, in the case of a Non-Natural Owner or if this Rider is issued in California) is younger than 591/2 years of age, the Protected Payment Amount is zero (0).
 
The Protected Payment Base may change over time. An Automatic Reset or Owner-Elected Reset will increase or decrease the Protected Payment Base depending on the Contract Value on the Reset Date. A withdrawal that is less than or equal to the Protected Payment Amount will not change the Protected Payment Base. If a withdrawal is greater than the Protected Payment Amount and the Contract Value is less than the Protected Payment Base, the Protected Payment Base will be reduced by an amount that is greater than the excess amount withdrawn. For withdrawals that are greater than the Protected Payment Amount, see the Withdrawal of Protected Payment Amount subsection below.
 
For purposes of this Rider, the term “withdrawal” includes any applicable withdrawal charges. 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, including an IRA or TSA/403(b) Contract, you are subject to restrictions on withdrawals you may take prior to a triggering event (e.g. reaching age 591/2, separation from service, disability) and you should consult your tax or legal


 

advisor prior to purchasing this optional guarantee, the primary benefit of which is guaranteeing withdrawals. For additional information regarding withdrawals and triggering events, see the FEDERAL TAX ISSUES – IRAs and Qualified Plans section in the Prospectus.
 
Withdrawal of Protected Payment Amount
 
When the oldest Owner (youngest Annuitant, in the case of a Non-Natural Owner or if this Rider is issued in California) is 591/2 years of age or older, you may withdraw up to the Protected Payment Amount each Contract Year, regardless of market performance, until the Rider terminates. The Protected Payment Amount will be reduced by the amount withdrawn during the Contract Year and will be reset each Contract Anniversary to 5% of the Protected Payment Base. 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.
 
Withdrawals Exceeding the Protected Payment Amount. If a withdrawal (except an RMD withdrawal) exceeds the Protected Payment Amount immediately prior to that withdrawal, we will (immediately following the withdrawal) reduce the Protected Payment Base on a proportionate basis for the amount in excess of the Protected Payment Amount. (See example 4 in the COREINCOME ADVANTAGE 5 PLUS (SINGLE AND JOINT) SAMPLE CALCULATIONS appendix in the Prospectus for a numerical example of the adjustments to the Protected Payment Base as a result of an Excess Withdrawal.) If a withdrawal is greater than the Protected Payment Amount and the Contract Value is less than the Protected Payment Base, the Protected Payment Base will be reduced by an amount that is greater than the excess amount withdrawn.
 
The amount available for withdrawal under the Contract must be sufficient to support any withdrawal that would otherwise exceed the Protected Payment Amount.
 
For information regarding taxation of withdrawals, see the FEDERAL TAX ISSUES section in the Prospectus.
 
Early Withdrawal
 
If an Early Withdrawal occurs, we will (immediately following the Early Withdrawal) reduce the Protected Payment Base either on a proportionate basis or by the total withdrawal amount, whichever results in a lower Protected Payment Base. See example 5 in the COREINCOME ADVANTAGE 5 PLUS (SINGLE AND JOINT) SAMPLE CALCULATIONS appendix in the Prospectus for a numerical example of the adjustments to the Protected Payment Base as a result of an Early Withdrawal.
 
Required Minimum Distributions
 
No adjustment will be made to the Protected Payment Base as a result of a withdrawal that 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.
 
See example 6 in the COREINCOME ADVANTAGE 5 PLUS (SINGLE AND JOINT) SAMPLE CALCULATIONS appendix in the Prospectus for numerical examples that describe what occurs when only withdrawals of the Annual RMD Amount are made during a Contract Year and when withdrawals of the Annual RMD Amount plus other non-RMD Withdrawals are made during a Contract Year.
 
See the FEDERAL TAX ISSUES – Qualified Contracts – Required Minimum Distributions section in the Prospectus.
 
Depletion of Contract Value
 
If the oldest Owner (or youngest Annuitant, in the case of a Non-Natural Owner or if this Rider is issued in California) is younger than age 591/2 when the Contract Value is zero, the Rider will terminate.
 
If the oldest Owner (or youngest Annuitant, in the case of a Non-Natural Owner or if this Rider is issued in California) is age 591/2 or older and the Contract Value was reduced to zero by a withdrawal that exceeds the Protected Payment Amount, the Rider will terminate.
 
If the oldest Owner (or youngest Annuitant, in the case of a Non-Natural Owner or if this Rider is issued in California) is age 591/2 or older and the Contract Value was reduced to zero by a withdrawal (including an RMD withdrawal) that did not exceed the Protected Payment Amount, the following will apply:
 
  •  the Protected Payment Amount will be paid each year until the date of death of an Owner or the date of death of the sole surviving Annuitant (first Annuitant in the case of a Non-Natural Owner),


 

  •  the Protected Payment Amount 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, and
 
  •  the Contract will cease to provide any death benefit.
 
Reset of Protected Payment Base
 
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. The limitations and restrictions on Purchase Payments and withdrawals, the deduction of Rider charges and any future reset options available on and after the Reset Date, will again apply and will be measured from that Reset Date. A reset occurs when the Protected Payment Base is changed to an amount equal to the Contract Value as of the Reset Date.
 
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 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 the CHARGES, FEES AND DEDUCTIONS – Optional Rider Charges section in the Prospectus).
 
Automatic Reset – Opt-Out Election. Within 60 days after a Contract Anniversary on which an Automatic Reset is effective, you have the option to reinstate the Protected Payment Base, Protected Payment Amount and annual charge percentage to their respective amounts immediately before the Automatic Reset. Any future Automatic Resets will continue 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 60 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 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 60 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 and Protected Payment Amount. Generally, the reduction will occur when your Contract Value is less than the Protected Payment Base as of the Contract Anniversary you elected the reset. You are strongly advised to work with your financial advisor prior to electing an Owner-Elected Reset. 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 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 1st Contract Anniversary or most recent Reset Date to exceed $100,000 without our prior approval.
 
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 fixed annuity option is chosen, the annuity payments will be equal to the greater of:
 
  •  the Life Only fixed 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 and Protected Payment Amount under this Rider will not be used in determining any annuity payments. Work with your financial advisor to determine if you should annuitize your Contract before the maximum Annuity Date or stay in the accumulation phase and continue to take withdrawals under the Rider.


 

Continuation of Rider if Surviving Spouse Continues Contract
 
This Rider terminates upon the death of an Owner or sole surviving Annuitant. If the surviving spouse continues the Contract, the surviving spouse may re-purchase this Rider (if available) on any Contract Anniversary. The existing protected balances will not carry over to the new Rider.
 
The surviving spouse may elect to receive any death benefit proceeds instead of continuing the Contract (see the DEATH BENEFITS AND OPTIONAL DEATH BENEFIT RIDERS – Death Benefits subsection in the Prospectus).
 
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 allocated according to the Investment Allocation Requirements,
 
  •  the date of the death of an Owner or the date of death of the sole surviving Annuitant,
 
  •  for Contracts with a Non-Natural Owner, the date of death of any 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 to a non-spouse Owner if the Contract is Non-Qualified (excluding changes in ownership to or from certain trusts or if this Rider is issued in California),
 
  •  the day the Contingent Annuitant becomes the Annuitant (if this Rider is issued in California),
 
  •  the day you exchange this Rider for another withdrawal benefit Rider,
 
  •  the Annuity Date (see the Annuitization subsection for additional information),
 
  •  the day the Contract Value is reduced to zero as a result of a withdrawal (except an RMD withdrawal) that exceeds the Protected Payment Amount, or
 
  •  the day the Contract Value is reduced to zero if the oldest Owner (or youngest Annuitant, in the case of a Non-Natural Owner or if this Rider is issued in California) is younger than age 591/2.
 
The Rider and the Contract will not terminate the day the Contract Value is zero and you begin taking pre-authorized withdrawals of the Protected Payment Amount (see the Depletion of Contract Value subsection). In this case, the Rider and the Contract will terminate the date of death of an Owner or the date of death of the sole surviving Annuitant.
