Form #s are based on product and state of policy issue. 3. The Premier Living Benefits Rider is an accelerated death benefit rider for chronic illness (Form #R12CII or ICC12 R12CII, based on state of policy issue). The Premier LTC Rider is an accelerated death benefit rider for long-term care (Form #R15LTC, R15LTC SP or ICC15 R15LTC, ICC15 R15LTC SP, based on state of policy issue). Eligible insureds for the Premier Living Benefits Rider and Premier LTC Rider are issue ages 18 75, subject to additional underwriting requirements and a one chronic illness or long-term care rider per insured issue limit. Riders are not available on Juvenile, Guaranteed Issue, or Simplified Issue policies, policies issued as a conversion from another policy (unless the rider was included in the original policy), or on policies with scheduled face amount increases. The Premier LTC Rider is not available on a policy with the Benefit Distribution Rider or the Premier Living Benefits Rider. 4. Riders will likely incur additional charges and are subject to availability, restrictions, and limitations. Clients should be shown policy illustrations with and without riders to help show the rider s impact on the policy s values. 5. Benefit Distribution Rider (form #R15BDR). If this optional rider is elected at policy issue, Pacific Life may reduce policy charges in the form of a non-guaranteed BDR credit. The rider s Periodic Payments of death benefit proceeds reflect a guaranteed, level 2% annual interest rate. If the rider is not elected, the beneficiary may elect periodic payments under an Income Benefit plan we make available to them at the insured s death that may credit a higher or lower interest rate than the rider s 2% guaranteed rate. However, the election of an Income Benefit plan at the insured s death will not result in any non-guaranteed reduction of policy charges while the policy is in force. Once elected at policy issue, the rider s payment elections may not be changed unless the policyowner is approved for an unscheduled face amount increase as specified in the contract. Exercising other available riders may adversely affect or limit the Benefit Distribution Rider. Nonguaranteed/current elements are not guaranteed by definition. As such, Pacific Life Insurance Company reserves the right to change or modify any of these elements. This right to change these elements is not limited to a specific time or reason. 6. 2% Interest Guarantee on Termination Rider (Form #R15IGT or ICC15 R15IGT, based on state of policy issue) is included with all policies at no additional cost. The rider guarantees an alternate accumulated value (AAV) that, if higher than the policy s actual cash value, will be used to determine the amount available at the insured s death, policy surrender, or help in preventing lapse. This AAV is calculated the same way as the policy s actual cash value but credits the current allocations among the fixed account, one-year indexed accounts, and loan account with 2% annual interest from the date of policy issue. This guarantee is based only on the policy s current allocations among the fixed account, one-year indexed accounts, and loan account and excludes any interest bonuses or indexed interest credits Year Indexed Account 5 in the contract. The 1-Year High Cap Indexed Account guarantees a 4% minimum growth cap, 100% minimum participation rate, and 0% minimum annual interest crediting rate. Assesses an annual charge of 0.80% (~0.067% monthly) of the accumulated value allocated to the 1-Year High Cap Account as part of the policy s monthly charges. 8. Children s Term Rider (Form #R84-CT) is available for additional charge at policy issue. 16-VER-13 For Life Insurance Producer Use Only. Not for Use with the Public. Page 4 of 5
