DISCLOSURES FROM SLIDE 4, ¹ Tax-free income assumes, among other things; (1) withdrawals do not exceed tax basis (generally, premiums paid less prior withdrawals); (2) policy remains in force until death; (3) withdrawals taken during the first 15 policy years do not occur at the time of, or during the two years prior to, any reduction in benefits; and (4) the policy does not become a modified endowment contract. See IRC 7702(f)(7)(B), 7702A. And policy withdrawals, loans and interest will reduce policy values and may reduce benefits. ² State law may provide life insurance and annuities with certain asset protection benefits. As a general rule, a debtor may not transfer property with the intent to avoid debt due to his creditors. The laws governing asset protection, however, are complex and the consequences of poor planning may be both civil and criminal penalties. Anyone contemplating an asset protection plan should not undertake such without the advice of legal counsel.

Insurance products and their guarantees, including optional benefits and any fixed subaccount crediting rates, are backed by the financial strength and claims-paying ability of the issuing insurance company.

DISCLOSURES FROM SLIDE 4, ¹Taxable income to participants in a Sec. 79 Permanent Benefit plan is comprised of two parts: (1) the life insurance benefit; and (2) the permanent benefit. Calculation of taxable income is not performed by Pacific Life, and is not a part of any sales material or illustration prepared by Pacific Life. Taxable income calculations are typically performed by independent third party administrators based on their understanding of the Sec. 79 regulations. Pacific Life makes no representation as to the appropriateness of these taxable income calculations. You should obtain whatever advice you deem necessary and appropriate form your independent tax and legal counsel as to the reasonableness of those calculations performed by such third parties. ²This example is based on the purchase of a Pacific Life Insurance Company's Pacific Indexed Performer LT (Form #P11PIP / ICC11 P11PIP), Indexed Universal life insurance product with 100% of the accumulated value allocated to the Fixed indexed account in year 1, then 100% reallocated to the High Par 5 Year indexed account from years 2-5, and lastly 100% reallocated to the 1 Year High Par. An annual premium of $100,000 for 5 years and a $2,105,000 death benefit (with the initial Base of $1,471,825 and ARTR of $633,175) for a Male age 45 in the Preferred Non-Smoker underwriting class with an assumed crediting rate of 4.90% (guaranteed rate 2%) in year 1, 7.50% (guaranteed rate 0%) in years 2-5, and 7.50% (guaranteed rate 0%) in years 6+. Death Benefit Option B years 1-5, Option A years 6+. Policy distributions start at insured age 65 and continue to age 84. Premier Living Benefits Rider (Form # R12CII or ICC12 R12CII) has been purchased with the policy - known in the contract as the Accelerated Living Death Benefit Rider. Form number based on state in which policy is issued. Clients should be shown policy illustrations with and without rider to help show the rider's impact on the policy's value. Non-guaranteed elements are not guaranteed by definition. As such, Pacific Life Insurance Company reserves the right to change or modify any non-guaranteed element. This right to change nonguaranteed elements is not limited to a specific time or reason. Indexed universal life insurance does not directly participate in any stock or equity investments. Indexed Universal Life Insurance generally requires additional premium payments after the initial premium. If either no premiums are paid, or subsequent premiums are insufficient to continue coverage, it is possible that coverage will expire. Overloan Protection Rider (Form #R08OLP) has been purchased with the policy. Riders will likely incur additional charges and are subject to state availability, restrictions and limitations. ³Any discussion of tax free policy distributions assumes the following: (1) withdrawals do not exceed basis (generally, premiums paid less prior withdrawals); (2) policy remains in force until death; (3) withdrawals taken during the first 15 policy years do not occur at the time of, or during the two years prior to, any reduction in benefits; and (4) the policy does not become a modified endowment contract. See IRC Section 7702A. Any policy withdrawals, loans and loan interest will reduce policy values and may reduce benefits. In the case of a Section 79 plan, basis may be less than premiums paid and generally be limited to amounts that were included in income during the period the life insurance was under the Section 79 Plan plus premiums paid if any after the policy is no longer under the Section 79 Plan. This would result in greater amounts of income as a result of distributions from the policy in excess of this lower basis.
DISCLOSURES FROM SLIDE 7, Taxable income to participants in a Section 79 Permanent Benefit plan is comprised of two parts: (1) the life insurance benefit; and (2) the permanent benefit. Calculation of taxable income is not performed by Pacific Life, and is not a part of any sales material or illustration prepared by Pacific Life. Taxable income calculations are typically performed by independent third party administrators based on their understanding of the Section 79 regulations. Pacific Life makes no representation as to the appropriateness of these taxable income calculations. You should obtain whatever advice you deem necessary and appropriate from your independent tax and legal counsel as to the reasonableness of those calculations performed by such third parties. *Corporate Premium represents the amount to be paid by the Corporation.

Over time, the policy's actual non-guaranteed elements, and perhaps your actual use of the policy's options, are likely to vary from the assumptions used in the illustration. For these reasons, actual policy performance will either be more or less favorable than shown in this illustration.
