You can also make automatic transfers from one variable investment option to another using our dollar cost averaging or portfolio rebalancing programs. These programs are not available for the fixed options. You can only make one transfer from each fixed option in any 12-month period. For the Fixed account, each transfer may be no more than $5,000 or 25% of the accumulated value in the Fixed account, whichever is greater. For the Fixed LT account, each transfer may be no more than $5,000 or 10% of the accumulated value in the Fixed LT account, whichever is greater.

This reduces your policy's accumulated value and could affect the face amount and death benefit. You'll find more about withdrawals, surrenders and loans starting on page 41. 6 Taking out a loan You can take out a loan from us using your policy's accumulated value as security. You pay interest at an annual rate of 3.55% on the amount you borrow. The accumulated value used to secure your loan is set aside in a loan account, where it earns interest at an annual rate of 3% during the first 10 policy years, and 3.3% thereafter. The amount in the loan account is not available to help pay for any policy charges. Taking out a loan affects the accumulated value of your policy because the amount set aside in the loan account misses out on the potential earnings available through the investment options. Surrendering your policy You can surrender or cash in your policy for its net cash surrender value while the person insured by the policy is still living. If you surrender your policy during the first 10 policy years, we'll apply a surrender charge. If you increase your policy's face amount and surrender your policy during the first 10 years after the increase, we'll apply a surrender charge to the amount of the increase. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Variable life insurance and your taxes Your beneficiary generally will not have to pay federal income tax on death benefit proceeds.

These are The minimum face amount when a called death benefit qualification tests.

If you do not choose a death benefit qualification test, we'll assume policy. you've chosen the guideline premium test. . The death benefit will always be the greater of the death benefit under the option you choose or the guideline minimum death benefit, calculated using the death benefit qualification test you've chosen. . The death benefit will never be lower than the face amount of your policy if you've chosen Option A or B. Of course, the death benefit proceeds will always be reduced by any outstanding loan amount. . We'll pay the death benefit proceeds to your beneficiary when we receive proof of the death of the person insured by the policy. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Choosing your death benefit option You can choose one of the following three options for the death benefit on your application. Option A - the face amount of your policy. Option B - the face amount of your policy plus its accumulated value. [GRAPHIC APPEARS HERE] [GRAPHIC APPEARS HERE] The death benefit changes as your policy's accumulated value changes. The better your investment options perform, the larger the death benefit will be. Option C - the face amount of your policy plus the total premiums you've paid minus any withdrawals or distributions made. [GRAPHIC APPEARS HERE] The more premiums you pay and the less you withdraw, the larger the death benefit will be. 18 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Choosing a death benefit This policy offers two death benefit qualification tests, which we use to qualification test calculate the guideline minimum death benefit. You choose one of these tests on your application. Once you choose a test, you cannot change it. The guideline minimum death benefit is the minimum death benefit needed for your In general, you should choose the cash value accumulation test if you do not policy to qualify as life insurance under want to limit the amount of premiums you can pay into your policy.

There are other limits on premiums you can Cash value accumulation test pay into your policy, which are described If you choose the cash value accumulation test, your policy's guideline minimum in How premiums work. death benefit will be the greater of: . the minimum death benefit amount that's needed for the policy to qualify as life insurance under the tax code or The cash value accumulation test is . 101% of the policy's accumulated value. defined in Section 7702(b) of the tax code. This test determines what the death benefit should be in relation to your policy's accumulated value. In general, as your policy's accumulated value increases, the death benefit must also increase to ensure that your policy qualifies as life insurance under the tax code. An example For a policy that insures a male, age 45 Under the test, a policy's death benefit must be large enough to ensure that when the policy was issued, with a standard its cash surrender value, as defined in Section 7702 of the tax code (and which nonsmoking risk class, in Policy Year 6 the is based on accumulated value, among other things), is never larger than the guideline minimum death benefit under the net single premium that's needed to fund future benefits under the policy. The cash value accumulation test is calculated net single premium under your policy varies according to the age, sex, and risk by multiplying each $1,000 of accumulated class of the person insured by your policy. It's calculated using an interest value by a "net single premium factor" rate of at least 4% and the guaranteed mortality charges as of the time the of 2.4728. policy is issued. We'll use a higher interest rate if we've guaranteed it under your policy. The death benefit determined by your policy's net single premium will be at least equal to the amount required for the policy to qualify as life insurance under the tax code. Guideline premium test The guideline premium test is defined in If you choose the guideline premium test, we calculate the guideline minimum Section 7702(a)(2) of the tax code. death benefit by multiplying your policy's accumulated value by a death benefit percentage. Death benefit percentages are defined in You'll find a table of death benefit percentages in Appendix D and in your Section 7702(d) of the tax code. policy. The death benefit percentage is based on the guideline premium limit and the age of the person insured by the policy. It is 250% when the person is age 40 or younger, and reduces as the person gets older. Under this test, the total premiums you pay cannot exceed your policy's guideline premium limit. You'll find a more detailed discussion of the guideline premium limit in How premiums work. 19 THE DEATH BENEFIT ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Comparing the death benefit options The tables below compare the death benefits provided by the policy's three death benefit options. The examples are intended only to show differences in death benefits and net amounts at risk. Accumulated value assumptions may not be realistic. The example below is based on the following: . the person insured by the policy is age 45 at the time the policy was issued and dies at the beginning of the sixth policy year . face amount is $100,000 . accumulated value at the date of death is $25,000 . total premium paid into the policy is $30,000 . the guideline minimum death benefit under the guideline premium test is $46,250 (assuming a guideline premium test factor of 185% x accumulated value) . the guideline minimum death benefit under the cash value accumulation test is $61,820.00 (assuming a net single premium factor of $2.4728 for each $1,000 of accumulated value) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you select the guideline premium test, the death benefit is the larger of these two amounts --------------------------- Death Death benefit Guideline Net amount at benefit How it's under minimum risk used for cost option calculated the option death benefit of insurance charge ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Option A Face amount $100,000 $46,250 $74,754.01 Option B Face amount plus accumulated value $125,000 $46,250 $99,692.51 Option C Face amount plus premiums less distributions $130,000 $46,250 $104,680.21 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you select the cash value accumulation test, the death benefit is the larger of these two amounts --------------------------- Death Death benefit Guideline Net amount at benefit How it's under minimum risk used for cost option calculated the option death benefit of insurance charge ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Option A Face amount $100,000 $61,820.00 $74,754.01 Option B Face amount plus accumulated value $125,000 $61,820.00 $99,692.51 Option C Face amount plus premiums less distributions $130,000 $61,820.00 $104,680.21 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 20 If the death benefit equals the guideline Here's the same example, but with an accumulated value of $75,000. Because minimum death benefit, any increase in accumulated value has increased, the guideline minimum death benefit is now: accumulated value will cause an automatic increase in the death benefit. . $138,750 for the guideline premium test . $185,460 for the cash value accumulation test. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you select the guideline premium test, the death benefit is the larger of these two amounts --------------------------- Death Death benefit Guideline Net amount at benefit How it's under minimum risk used for cost option calculated the option death benefit of insurance charge ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Option A Face amount $100,000 $138,750 $63,408.68 Option B Face amount plus accumulated value $175,000 $138,750 $99,569.51 Option C Face amount plus premiums less distributions $130,000 $138,750 $63,408.68 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you select the cash value accumulation test, the death benefit is the larger of these two amounts --------------------------- Death Death benefit Guideline Net amount at benefit How it's under minimum risk used for cost option calculated the option death benefit of insurance charge ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Option A Face amount $100,000 $185,460 $110,003.78 Option B Face amount plus accumulated value $175,000 $185,460 $110,003.78 Option C Face amount plus premiums less distributions $130,000 $185,460 $110,003.78 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These examples show that each death benefit option provides a different level of protection. Keep in mind that cost of insurance charges, which affect your policy's accumulated value, increase with the amount of the death benefit, as well as over time. The cost of insurance is charged at a rate per $1,000 of the discounted net amount at risk. As the net amount at risk increases, your cost of insurance increases. Accumulated value also varies depending on the performance of the investment options in your policy. 21 THE DEATH BENEFIT -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- When we pay the death benefit We calculate the amount of the death benefit proceeds as of the end of the day the person insured by the policy dies. If that person dies on a day that is not Your beneficiary can choose to receive the a business day, we calculate the proceeds as of the next business day. death benefit proceeds in a lump sum or use it to buy an income benefit. Please see the Your policy's beneficiary must send us proof that the person insured by the discussion about income benefits in General policy died while the policy was in force, along with payment instructions. information about your policy.

If we cannot pay the proceeds to your beneficiary We'll pay interest at an annual rate of at least 3% on the death benefit within five years of the death of the person proceeds, calculated from the day the person insured by the policy dies to the insured by the policy, we'll be required to day we pay the proceeds. pay them to the state. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Changing your death benefit option You can change your death benefit option while your policy is in force.

The face amount of your policy will change by the amount needed to make the death benefit under the new option equal the death benefit under the old option just before the change. We will not let you change the death benefit option if doing so means the face amount of your policy will become less than $50,000. We may waive this minimum amount under certain circumstances. . Changing the death benefit option can also affect the monthly cost of insurance charge since this charge varies with the net amount at risk. . The new death benefit option will be used in all future calculations. 22 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Changing the face amount You can increase or decrease your policy's face amount as long as we approve it.

Please turn to Withdrawals, . Increasing the face amount may increase the death benefit, and decreasing the surrenders and loans for information about face amount may decrease the death benefit. The amount the death benefit making withdrawals. changes will depend, among other things, on the death benefit option you've chosen and whether, and by how much, the death benefit is greater than the face amount before you make the change. . Changing the face amount can affect the net amount at risk, which affects the cost of insurance charge. An increase in the face amount may increase the cost of insurance charge, while a decrease may decrease the charge. . We can refuse your request to make the face amount less than $50,000. We can waive this minimum amount in certain situations, such as group or sponsored arrangements. Increasing the face amount Here are some additional things you should know about increasing the face amount: . You may request an increase in your policy's face amount starting on the first policy anniversary. . You must give us satisfactory evidence of insurability. . Each increase you make to the face amount must be $25,000 or more. . We may charge you a fee of up to $100 for each increase to cover the costs of processing the request.

For any increase in face amount which arises from conversion of a term rider, we will waive the surrender charge and the mortality and expense risk charge that would otherwise apply for the increase. . We will allow an increase in face amount only if the resulting death benefit increase at least equals our minimum limit on the request date. . We will not allow an increase if there has been a prior decrease in face amount, including any decrease caused by a withdrawal. 23 THE DEATH BENEFIT Decreasing the face amount may affect your Decreasing the face amount policy's tax status.

Accelerated living benefits rider Gives the policy owner access to a portion of the policy's death benefit if the person insured by the policy has been diagnosed with a terminal illness resulting in a life expectancy of six months or less (or longer than six months in some states). . Disability benefit rider Provides a monthly addition to the policy's accumulated value when the person insured by the policy has a qualifying disability, until he or she reaches age 65. We guarantee the amounts of the extra benefits when we issue your rider. We'll add any rider charges to the monthly charge we deduct from your policy's accumulated value. 24 Things to keep in mind Combining a policy and a rider may be more economical than adding another policy. It may also be more economical to provide an amount of insurance coverage through a policy alone. Under certain circumstances, combining a policy with an Annual renewable term rider may result in a face amount equal to the face amount of a single policy until age 80. Combining a policy and an Annual renewable term rider will result in current charges that are lower than for a single policy with the same face amount. However, your policy has guaranteed maximum charges. Adding an Annual renewable term rider will result in guaranteed maximum charges that are higher than for a single policy with the same face amount. 25 HOW PREMIUMS WORK Your policy gives you the flexibility to choose the amount and frequency of your premium payments within certain limits. Each premium payment must be at least $50. The amount, frequency, and period of time over which you make premium payments may We deduct a premium load from each premium payment, and then allocate your net affect whether your policy will be premium to the investment options you've chosen. Depending on the performance classified as a modified endowment contract, of your investment options, and on how many withdrawals, loans or other policy or no longer qualifies as life insurance for features you've taken advantage of, you may need to make additional premium tax purposes. See Variable life insurance payments to keep your policy in force. and your taxes for more information. If we do not receive your first premium payment within 20 days after we issue your policy, we can cancel the policy and refund any partial premium payment you've made. We may waive the 20 day requirement in some cases. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Planned periodic premium payments You can schedule the amount and frequency of your premium payments. We refer to scheduled premium payments as your planned periodic premium. Here's how it works: Even if you pay all your premiums when . On your application, you choose a fixed amount of at least $50 for each they're scheduled, your policy could lapse premium payment. if the accumulated value, less any outstanding loan amount, is not enough to . You indicate whether you want to make premium payments annually, semi- pay your monthly charges. Turn to Your annually, or quarterly. You can also choose monthly payments using our policy's accumulated value for more monthly Uni-check plan, which is described below. information. . We send you a notice to remind you of your scheduled premium payment (except for monthly Uni-check payments, which are paid automatically). If you own more than one policy, we'll send one notice -- called a listbill -- that reminds you of your payments for all of your policies. You can choose to receive the listbill every month. While you do not have to make the premium payments you've scheduled, not making a premium payment may have an impact on any financial objectives you may have set for your policy's accumulated value and death benefit, and could cause your policy to lapse. . We'll treat any payment you make during the life of your policy as a loan repayment, not as a premium payment, unless you tell us otherwise. When a payment, or any portion of it, exceeds your outstanding loan amount, we'll treat it as a premium payment. Some states may require us to consider your payments as premium payments if you have not given us instructions to do otherwise. 26 Monthly Uni-check plan Once you've made your first premium payment, you can make monthly premium payments using our Uni-check plan. Here's how it works: . you authorize us to withdraw a specified amount from your checking account each month . you can choose any day between the 4th and 28th of the month . if you do not specify a day for us to make the withdrawal, we'll withdraw the premium payment on your policy's monthly anniversary. If your policy's monthly anniversary falls on the 1st, 2nd or 3rd of the month, we'll withdraw the payment on the 4th of each month. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Deductions from your premiums We deduct a premium load from each premium payment you make. The load is made up of three charges: Your net premium is your premium payment less the premium load. Sales load We deduct a 2.5% sales load from each premium payment you make. This charge helps pay for the cost of distributing our policies and is guaranteed not to increase. If our sales and distribution expenses are more than the sales load, we can recover these expenses from other charges, such as the mortality and expense risk charge and the surrender charge, and from any mortality gains. State and local tax charge We deduct 2.35% from each premium payment to pay state and local premium and other taxes. The actual taxes we pay vary from state to state, and in some instances, among municipalities. We do not expect to profit from this charge, and do not expect to change the rate unless the rate we pay changes. Federal tax charge We deduct 1.50% from each premium payment to pay federal taxes. We reserve the right to change this rate to respond to changes in law. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Allocating your premiums We generally allocate your net premiums to the investment options you've chosen on your application on the day we receive them. There are special restrictions when allocating premiums to the Fixed LT We allocate your first premium on the free look transfer date. We'll hold your account. net premiums in the Money Market investment option until the free look transfer date, and then transfer them to the investment options you've chosen. Please turn to Your investment options for more information about the investment options. 27 HOW PREMIUMS WORK -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Limits on the premium payments Federal tax law puts limits on the amount of premium payments you can make in you can make relation to your policy's death benefit. These limits apply in the following situations: Before you buy a policy, you can . If you've chosen the guideline premium test as your death benefit ask us or your registered qualification test and accepting the premium means your policy will no longer representative for a personalized qualify as life insurance for federal income tax purposes. illustration that will show you the guideline single premium and The total amount you can pay in premiums and still have your policy qualify as guideline level annual premiums. life insurance is your policy's guideline premium limit. The sum of the premiums paid, less any withdrawals, at any time cannot exceed the guideline premium limit, which is the greater of: . the guideline single premium or . the sum of the guideline level annual premiums. Your policy's guideline single premium and guideline level annual premiums appear on your policy's specification pages. We may refuse to accept all or part of a premium payment if, by accepting it, you will exceed your policy's guideline premium limit. If we find that you've exceeded your guideline premium limit, we may remove all or part of a premium you've paid from your policy as of the day we applied it, and return it to you. We'll adjust the death benefit retroactively to that date to reflect the reduction in premium payments. You'll find a detailed discussion . If applying the premium in that policy year means your policy will become a of modified endowment contracts modified endowment contract. in Variable life insurance and your taxes. A life insurance policy will become a modified endowment contract if the sum of premium payments made during the first seven contract years, less a portion of withdrawals, exceeds the seven-pay limit defined in Section 7702A of the Internal Revenue Code. Unless you've told us in writing that you want your policy to become a modified endowment contract, we'll remove all or part of the premium payment from your policy as of the day we applied it and return it to you. We'll also adjust the death benefit retroactively to that date to reflect the reduction in premium payments. If we receive such a premium within 20 days before your policy anniversary, we'll hold it and apply it to your policy on the anniversary date. In both of these situations, if we remove an excess premium from your policy, we'll return the premium amount to you no later than 60 days after the end of that policy year. We may adjust the amount for interest or for changes in accumulated value that relate to the amount of the excess premium payment we're returning to you. If we do not return the premium amount to you within that time, we'll increase your policy's death benefit retroactively, to the day we applied the premium, and prospectively so that it's always the amount necessary to ensure your policy qualifies as life insurance, or to prevent it from becoming a modified endowment contract. If we increase your death benefit, we'll adjust cost of insurance or rider charges retroactively and prospectively to reflect the increase. Net amount at risk is the . If applying the premium payment to your policy will increase the net amount difference between the death at risk. This will happen if your policy's death benefit is equal to the benefit that would be payable if guideline minimum death benefit or would be equal to it once we applied your the person insured by the policy premium payment. died and the accumulated value of your policy. We may choose to accept your premium payment in this situation, but before we do so, we may require satisfactory evidence of the insurability of the person insured by the policy. 28 YOUR POLICY'S ACCUMULATED VALUE Accumulated value is used as the Accumulated value is the value of your policy on any business day. basis for determining policy benefits and charges. We use it to calculate how much money is available to you for loans and withdrawals, and how much you'll receive if you surrender your policy. It also affects the amount of the death benefit if you choose a death benefit option that's calculated using accumulated value. The accumulated value of your policy is not guaranteed - it depends on the performance of the investment options you've chosen, the premium payments you've made, policy charges and how much you've borrowed or withdrawn from the policy. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Calculating your policy's Your policy's accumulated value is the total amount allocated to the variable accumulated value investment options and the fixed options, plus the amount in the loan account. Please see Taking out a loan for We determine the value allocated to the variable investment options on any information about loans and the business day by multiplying the number of accumulation units for each variable loan account. investment option credited to your policy on that day, by the variable investment option's unit value at the end of that day. The process we use to calculate unit values for the variable investment options is described in Your investment options. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Monthly deductions We deduct a monthly charge from your policy's accumulated value in the investment options each monthly payment date. If there is not enough accumulated value to pay the Unless you tell us otherwise, we deduct the monthly charge from the investment monthly charge, your policy could options that make up your policy's accumulated value, in proportion to the lapse.

We of your policy. deduct a cost of insurance charge based on the cost of insurance rate for your policy's initial face amount and for each increase you make to the face amount. You'll find a discussion about when your policy might lapse, and There are maximum or guaranteed cost of insurance rates associated with your what you can do to reinstate it, policy. These rates are shown in your policy's specification pages. later in this section. Unisex rates are used when a The guaranteed rates include the insurance risks associated with insuring one policy is owned by an employer in person. They are calculated using 1980 Commissioners Standard Ordinary connection with employment- Mortality Tables or the 1980 Commissioners Ordinary Mortality Table B, which related or benefit programs. are used for unisex cost of insurance rates. The rates are also based on the age, gender and risk class of the person insured by the policy unless unisex rates are required. Our current cost of insurance rates are based on the age, risk class, smoking status and gender (unless unisex rates are required) of the person insured by the policy. These rates generally increase as the person's age increases, and they vary with the number of years the policy has been in force. Our current rates are lower than the guaranteed rates and they will not exceed the guaranteed rates in the future. 29 YOUR POLICY'S ACCUMULATED VALUE Guaranteed period We'll guarantee our current cost of insurance rates for five years. If you increase the face amount, the cost of insurance rates associated with the increase will have a five-year guaranteed period. This will be effective on the day of the increase. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you add an annual renewable How we calculate cost of insurance term rider to your policy, we We calculate cost of insurance by multiplying the current cost of insurance will include the face amount of rate by a discounted net amount at risk at the beginning of each policy month. the rider in this calculation of cost of insurance. Net amount at risk for the cost of insurance calculation is the difference between a discounted death benefit that would be payable if the person insured by the policy died and the accumulated value of your policy at the beginning of the policy month before the monthly charge is due. First, we calculate the total net amount at risk for your policy in two steps: . Step 1: we divide the death benefit that would be payable at the beginning of the policy month by 1.002466. . Step 2: we subtract your policy's accumulated value at the beginning of the policy month from the amount we calculated in step 1. Next, we allocate the net amount at risk in proportion to the face amount and each increase that's in force as of your monthly payment date. We then multiply the amount of each allocated net amount at risk by the cost of insurance rate for each coverage. The sum of these amounts is your cost of insurance charge. 30 Administrative charge We deduct a charge of $7.50 a month to help cover the costs of administering and maintaining our policies. We guarantee that this charge will not increase. Mortality and expense risk charge Mortality risk is the chance that the people insured by policies we've issued do not live as long as expected. This means the cost of insurance charges specified in the policies may not be enough to pay out actual claims. Expense risk is the chance that our actual administrative and operating expenses are more than the fees and expenses deducted under the policies and the separate account. The mortality and expense risk charge helps compensate us for these risks. It has two components, which are described in the following box. We guarantee this charge will not increase. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- An example How we calculate the mortality and expense risk charge For a policy that insures a male non-smoker who is age 45 when the The mortality and expense risk charge has two separate charges: policy is issued, with: . a face amount of $350,000 .

We'll apply each charge for 10 years from the day of the increase. If you decrease the face amount, the charge will remain the same. The monthly charge for the M&E risk asset charge is $17.09 in . M&E risk asset charge We deduct a risk asset charge every month. policy years 1 through 10 (($25,000 X 0.0625%) plus During policy years 1 through 10, we charge an annual rate 0.75% (0.000625 ($5,000 X 0.0292%)). monthly), of the first $25,000 of your policy's accumulated value in the variable investment options, plus an annual rate of 0.35% (0.000292 monthly), The monthly charge for the M&E of the accumulated value in the variable investment options that exceeds risk asset charge is $9.58 in $25,000. policy year 11 and thereafter (($25,000 x 0.0375%) plus During policy years 11 and thereafter, we charge an annual rate of 0.45% ($5,000 x 0.0042%)).

Appendix A. For the purposes of this charge, the amount of accumulated value is calculated on the monthly payment date before we deduct the monthly charge, but after we deduct any outstanding loan amount or allocate any new net premiums, withdrawals or loans. Charges for optional riders If you add any riders to your policy, we add any charges for them to your monthly charge. 31 YOUR POLICY'S ACCUMULATED VALUE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lapsing and reinstatement Your policy will lapse if there is not enough accumulated value, after subtracting any outstanding loan amount, to cover the monthly charge on the day we make the deduction. Your policy's accumulated value is affected by the following: . loans or withdrawals you make from your policy . not making planned premium payments . the performance of your investment options . charges under the policy. There is no guarantee that your policy will not lapse even if you pay your planned periodic premium. If there is not enough accumulated value to pay the total monthly charge, we deduct the amount that's available and send you, and anyone you've assigned your policy to, a notice telling you the minimum amount you have to pay to keep your policy in force. This minimum amount is equal to three times the monthly charge that was due on the monthly payment date when there was not enough accumulated value to pay the charge. We'll give you a grace period of 61 days from when we send the notice to pay the required premium. Your policy will remain in force during the grace period. If you do not make the minimum payment If we do not receive your payment within the grace period, your policy will lapse with no value. This means we'll end your life insurance coverage. Remember to tell us if your payment is a If you make the minimum payment premium payment. Otherwise, we'll treat it as a loan repayment. If we receive your payment within the grace period, we'll allocate your net premium to the investment options you've chosen and deduct the monthly charge from your investment options in proportion to the accumulated value you have in each option. If your policy is in danger of lapsing and you have an outstanding loan amount, you may find that making the minimum payment would cause the total premiums paid to exceed the maximum amount for your policy's face amount under tax laws. In that situation, we will not accept the portion of your payment that would exceed the maximum amount. To stop your policy from lapsing, you'll have to repay a portion of your outstanding loan amount. How to avoid future lapsing To stop your policy from lapsing in the future, you may want to make larger or more frequent premium payments if tax laws permit it. Or if you have a loan, you may want to repay a portion of it. Paying death benefit proceeds during the grace period If the person insured by the policy dies during the grace period, we'll pay death benefit proceeds to your beneficiary. We'll reduce the payment by any unpaid monthly charges and any outstanding loan amount. 32 Reinstating a lapsed policy If your policy lapses, you have five years from the end of the grace period but before the maturity date to apply for a reinstatement. We'll reinstate it if you send us the following: . a written application . evidence satisfactory to us that the person insured by the policy is still insurable . a premium payment sufficient to keep your policy in force for three months after the day your policy is reinstated . payment of all unpaid monthly charges that were due in the grace period. We'll reinstate your policy as of the first monthly payment date on or after the day we approve the reinstatement. Once we reinstate your policy, its accumulated value will be the same as it was on the day your policy lapsed. We'll allocate it according to your most recent premium allocation instructions. Reinstating a lapsed policy with an outstanding loan amount If you had an outstanding loan amount when your policy lapsed, we will not pay or credit interest on it during the period between the lapsing and reinstatement of your policy. There are special rules that apply to reinstating a policy with an outstanding loan amount: . If we reinstate your policy on the first monthly payment date that immediately follows the lapse, we'll also reinstate the loan amount that was outstanding the day your policy lapsed. . If we reinstate your policy on any monthly payment date other than the monthly payment date that immediately follows the lapse, we'll deduct the outstanding loan amount from your policy's accumulated value. This means you will no longer have an outstanding loan amount when your policy is reinstated. 33 YOUR INVESTMENT OPTIONS This section tells you about the investment options available under your policy and how they work.

The number of units we credit equals the amount we've a business day. At the end of that day, the allocated divided by the unit value of the variable account. Similarly, the unit value of the variable account is $15. number of accumulation units in your policy will be reduced when you make a We'll credit your policy with 400 units transfer, withdrawal or loan from a variable investment option, and when your ($6,000 divided by $15). monthly charges are deducted. The value of an accumulation unit is not The value of an accumulation unit is the basis for all financial transactions the same as the value of a share in the relating to the variable investment options. We calculate the unit value for underlying portfolio. each variable account once every business day, usually at or about 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Generally, for any transaction, we'll use the next unit value calculated after we receive your written request. If we receive your written request before 4:00 For information about timing of p.m. Eastern time, we'll use the unit value calculated as of the end of that transactions, see Pacific Select Exec II - business day. If we receive your request on or after 4:00 p.m. Eastern time, NY basics. we'll use the unit value calculated as of the end of the next business day. If a scheduled transaction falls on a day that is not a business day, we'll process it as of the end of the next business day. For your monthly charge, we'll use the unit value calculated on your monthly payment date. If your monthly payment date does not fall on a business day, we'll use the unit value calculated as of the end of the next business day. The unit value calculation is based on the following: . the investment performance of the underlying portfolio . any dividends or distributions paid by the underlying portfolio . any charges for any taxes that are, or may become, associated with the operation of the variable account. The unit value of a variable account will change with the value of its corresponding Pacific Select Fund portfolio. Changes in the unit value of a variable account will not change the number of accumulation units credited to your policy. A look at performance Performance information may appear in advertisements, sales literature, or reports to policy owners or prospective buyers. Information about the performance of any variable account of the separate account reflects only the performance of a hypothetical policy. The calculations are based on allocating the hypothetical policy's accumulated value to the variable account during a particular time period. Performance information is no guarantee of how a variable account will perform in the future. You should keep in mind the investment objectives and policies, characteristics and quality of the portfolio of the fund in which the variable account invests, and the market conditions during the period of time that's shown. We may show performance information in any way that's allowed under the law that applies to it. This may include presenting a change in accumulated value due to the performance of one or more variable accounts, or as a change in a policy owner's death benefit. 36 We may show performance as a change in accumulated value over time or in terms of the average annual compounded rate of return on accumulated value. This would be based on allocating premium payments for a hypothetical policy to a particular variable account over certain periods of time, including one year, or from the day the variable account started operating. If a portfolio has existed for longer than its corresponding variable account, we may also show the hypothetical returns that the variable account would have achieved had it invested in the portfolio from the day the portfolio started operating. Performance may reflect the deduction of all policy charges including premium load, the cost of insurance, the administrative charge, and the mortality and expense risk charge. The different death benefit options will result in different expenses for the cost of insurance, and the varying expenses will result in different accumulated values. Performance may also reflect the deduction of the surrender charge, if it applies, by assuming the hypothetical policy is surrendered at the end of the particular period. At the same time, we may give other performance figures that do not assume the policy is surrendered and do not reflect any deduction of the surrender charge. In our advertisements, sales literature and reports to policy owners, we may compare performance information for a variable account to: . other variable life separate accounts, mutual funds, or investment products tracked by research firms, ratings services, companies, publications, or persons who rank separate accounts or investment products on overall performance or other criteria . the Consumer Price Index, to assess the real rate of return from buying a policy by taking inflation into consideration. Reports and promotional literature may also contain our rating or a rating of our claims-paying ability. These ratings are set by firms that analyze and rate insurance companies and by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations.

Taking out a loan, whether or not you repay it, will have a permanent effect on the value of your policy. For example, while your policy's accumulated value is held in the loan account, it will miss out on the potential earnings available through the variable investment options. The amount of interest you earn on the loan account may be less than the amount of interest you would have earned from the fixed options. These could lower your policy's accumulated value, which could reduce the amount of the death benefit. When a loan is outstanding, the amount in the loan account is not available to help pay for any policy charges. If, after deducting your outstanding loan amount, there is not enough accumulated value in your policy to cover the policy charges, your policy could lapse. You may need to make additional premium payments or loan repayments to prevent your policy from lapsing. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ways to use your policy's loan and You can use your policy's loan and withdrawal features to supplement your withdrawal features income, for example, during retirement.

Payment of your endowment benefit will usually be made within 7 days of your policy anniversary. Payments may be postponed in certain circumstances. See Timing of payments, forms and requests. 45 GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR POLICY This section tells you some additional things you should know about your policy. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Income benefit If you surrender or make a withdrawal from your policy, or your policy matures, you can use the money to buy an income benefit that provides a monthly income. Your policy's beneficiary can use death benefit proceeds to buy an income benefit. In addition to the income benefit described below, you can choose from other income benefits we may make available from time to time. The following is one income benefit available under the Pacific Select Exec II-NY policy: . The income benefit is based on the life of the person receiving the income. If the policy owner is buying the income benefit, monthly income will be based on the owner's life. If the policy's beneficiary buys the income benefit, monthly income will be based on the beneficiary's life. . We'll pay a monthly income for at least 10 years regardless of whether the person receiving the income is still alive. . After 10 years, we'll only pay the monthly income for as long as the person receiving it is still alive. . The minimum monthly income benefit calculated must be at least $100. . For this income benefit, the amount you receive will always be at least as much as the amount guaranteed by your policy. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reduced Paid-Up Benefit You may use the net cash surrender value of your policy to purchase guaranteed fixed paid-up insurance on the life of the person insured by the policy. You may choose to do this at any time while the policy is in force. If you convert your policy, the net cash surrender value will be transferred to our general account. The amount of paid-up insurance is determined by applying the net cash surrender value as the net single premium based upon the insured's age and risk class, 1980 CSO mortality table, and 3% interest. Any riders attached to the policy will terminate at the time of conversion. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Substituting the person insured by Starting on your policy's first anniversary, you can apply to substitute the your policy person insured by your policy. You must apply in writing and we must receive satisfactory evidence of insurability of the new person to be insured by the If you substitute the person insured policy. You can only add riders on the new person insured by the policy if we by the policy, we'll send you a revised approve the addition of the riders. schedule of benefits. The substitution will become effective on the first monthly payment date after we approve your request. We may have to adjust the face amount, accumulated value, surrender charge and policy charges to reflect the substitution. We can refuse your request to substitute if, among other reasons: . we would be required to end the policy in order to comply with new guideline premium limits under tax law . we would be required to make distributions from your policy's accumulated value that are greater than the net cash surrender value. 46 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paying the death benefit in the case If the person insured by the policy commits suicide within two years of the of suicide policy date, death benefit proceeds will be the total of all premiums you've paid, less any outstanding loan amount and any withdrawals you've made. If you've substituted the person insured by the policy and that person commits suicide within two years of the day the substitution was made, we'll calculate death benefit proceeds differently. Proceeds will be limited to the net cash surrender value of your policy as of the day the substitution was made, less any increase in any outstanding loan amount, any withdrawals you've made, and any dividends we've paid in cash, since the day the substitution was made. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Replacement of life insurance The term replacement has a special meaning in the life insurance industry. or annuities Before you make a decision to buy, we want you to understand what impact a replacement may have on your existing insurance policy. A replacement occurs when you buy a new life insurance policy or annuity contract, and a policy or contract you already own has been or will be: . lapsed, forfeited, surrendered or partially surrendered, assigned to the replacing insurer, or otherwise terminated . converted to reduced paid-up insurance, continued as extended term insurance, or otherwise reduced in value by the use of nonforfeiture benefits or other policy values . amended to effect either a reduction in benefits or in the term for which coverage would otherwise remain in force or for which benefits would be paid . reissued with any reduction in cash value, or . pledged as collateral or subject to borrowing, whether in a single loan or under a schedule of borrowing over a period of time. There are circumstances when replacing your existing life insurance policy or annuity contract can benefit you. As a general rule, however, replacement is not in your best interest. You should carefully compare the costs and benefits of your existing policy or contract with those of the new policy or contract to determine whether replacement is in your best interest. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Errors on your application If the age or gender of the person insured by your policy is stated incorrectly on your application, the death benefit under your policy will be the greater of If unisex cost of insurance rates apply to the following: your policy, we will not adjust the face amount if we discover that gender has been . the amount of death benefit that would be purchased by the most recent cost of stated incorrectly on your application. insurance charge for the correct age and gender or . the guideline minimum death benefit for the correct age and gender. We'll adjust the accumulated value by recalculating all previous cost of insurance charges and other monthly deductions based on the correct age and gender. 47 GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR POLICY -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Contesting the validity of your policy We have the right to contest the validity of your policy for two years from the policy date. Once your policy has been in force for two years from the policy date during the lifetime of the person insured by the policy, we generally lose the right to contest its validity. We also have the right to contest the validity of a policy that you reinstate for two years from the day that it was reinstated. Once your reinstated policy has been in force for two years from the reinstatement date during the lifetime of the person insured by the policy, we generally lose the right to contest its validity. During this period, we may contest your policy only if there is a material misrepresentation on your application for reinstatement. We have the right to contest the validity of an increase in the face amount of a policy for two years from the day the increase becomes effective. Once the increased face amount has been in force for two years during the lifetime of the person insured by the policy, we generally lose the right to contest its validity. We also have the right to contest the validity of a policy if there has been a substitution to the person insured by the policy. We can contest a policy's validity for two years from the day the substitution becomes effective. Once the substitution has been in force for two years during the lifetime of the person insured by the policy, we generally lose the right to contest its validity. Regardless of the above, we can contest the validity of your policy for failure to pay premiums at any time. The policy will terminate upon successful contest with respect to the person insured by the policy. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Assigning your policy as collateral You can assign your policy as collateral to secure a loan, mortgage, or other kind of debt.

After the policy has been assigned, your rights and the rights of your beneficiary will be subject to the assignment. The entire policy, including any income benefit, rider, benefit and endorsement, will also be subject to the assignment. . We're not responsible for the validity of any assignment. . We must receive and record a copy of the original assignment in a form that's acceptable to us before we'll consider it binding. . Unless otherwise provided, the person or organization you assign your policy to may exercise the rights under the policy, except the right to change the policy owner or the beneficiary or the right to choose a monthly income benefit. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Non-participating This policy will not share in any of our surplus earnings. 48 VARIABLE LIFE INSURANCE AND YOUR TAXES This discussion about taxes is based on our understanding of the present federal income tax laws as they are currently interpreted by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). It's based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the tax code) and does not cover any state or local tax laws. The tax consequences of owning a policy or receiving proceeds from it may vary This is not a complete discussion of all federal income tax questions that may by jurisdiction and according to the arise under the policy. There are special rules that we do not include here circumstances of each owner or beneficiary. that may apply in certain situations. Speak to a qualified tax adviser for We do not know whether the current treatment of life insurance policies under complete information about federal, state current federal income tax or estate or gift tax laws will continue. We also do and local taxes that may apply to you. not know whether the current interpretations of the laws by the IRS or the courts will remain the same. Future legislation may adversely change the tax treatment of life insurance policies, other tax consequences described in this discussion or tax consequences that relate directly or indirectly to life insurance policies. We do not make any guarantees about the tax status of your policy, and you should not consider the discussion that follows to be tax advice. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tax treatment of life insurance policies Definition of life insurance We believe that the policy qualifies as life insurance. That means it will In order to qualify as a life insurance receive the same tax advantages as a conventional fixed life insurance policy. contract for federal income tax purposes, The two main tax advantages are: the policy must meet the statutory definition of life insurance. . In general, your policy's beneficiary will not be subject to federal income tax when he or she receives the death benefit proceeds. This is true regardless Death benefits may be excluded from income of whether the beneficiary is an individual, corporation, or other entity. under Section 101(a) of the tax code. . You'll generally not be taxed on any or all of your policy's accumulated value unless you receive a cash distribution by making a withdrawal, surrendering your policy, or in some instances, taking a loan from your policy. The tax laws defining life insurance, however, do not cover all policy features. Your policy may have features that could prevent it from qualifying as life insurance. For example, the tax laws have yet to address many issues concerning the treatment of substandard risk policies and policies with term insurance on the person insured by the policy. We can make changes to your policy if we believe the changes are needed to ensure that your policy continues to qualify as a life insurance contract. Tax regulations deal with allowable charges for mortality costs and other expenses that are used in calculating whether a policy qualifies as life insurance. For life insurance policies entered into on or after October 21, 1988, these calculations must be based upon reasonable mortality charges and other charges reasonably expected to be actually paid. 49 VARIABLE LIFE INSURANCE AND YOUR TAXES The Treasury Department has issued proposed regulations about reasonable standards for mortality charges. While we believe that our mortality costs and other expenses used in calculating whether the policy qualifies as life insurance are reasonable under current laws, we cannot be sure that the IRS agrees with us. We can change our mortality charges if we believe the changes are needed to ensure that your policy qualifies as a life insurance contract. Section 817(h) of the tax code describes Diversification rules and ownership of the separate account the diversification rules. Your policy will not qualify for the tax benefit of a life insurance contract unless the separate account follows certain rules requiring diversification of For more information about diversification investments underlying the policy. In addition, the IRS requires that the rules, please see Managing the Pacific policyholder does not have control over the underlying assets. Select Fund in the accompanying Pacific Select Fund prospectus. The Treasury Department has announced that the diversification rules "do not provide guidance concerning the circumstances in which it will treat an investor, rather than the insurance company, as the owner of the assets in a separate account." The IRS treats a variable policy owner as the owner of separate account assets if he or she has the ability to exercise investment control over them. Owners of the assets are taxed on any income or gains the assets generate. Although the Treasury Department announced it would provide further guidance on the issue, it had not done so when we wrote this prospectus. No IRS rulings deal with policies that have exactly the same ownership rights as your policy. Since you have additional flexibility in allocating premiums and policy values, it is possible the IRS would treat you as the owner of your policy's proportionate share of the assets of the separate account. We do not know what will be in future Treasury Department regulations. We cannot guarantee that the fund's portfolios will be able to operate as currently described in the prospectus, or that the fund will not have to change any portfolio's investment objective or policies. We can modify your policy if we believe it will prevent you from being considered the owner of your policy's proportionate share of the assets of the separate account. Policy exchanges fall under Section Policy exchanges 1035(a) of the tax code. If you exchange your entire policy for another one that insures the same person, it generally will be treated as a tax-free exchange and, if so, will not result in the recognition of gain or loss. If the person insured by the policy is changed, the exchange will be treated as a taxable exchange. Change of ownership You may have taxable income if you transfer ownership of your policy, sell your policy, or change the ownership of it in any way. There are special rules for corporate-owned Corporate owners policies. You should consult your There are special tax issues for corporate owners: tax adviser. . using your policy to fund deferred compensation arrangements for employees Section 59A of the tax code deals with the has special tax consequences environmental tax. . corporate ownership of a policy may affect your exposure to the alternative minimum tax and the environmental tax. 50 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Conventional life insurance policies The tax treatment of your policy will depend upon whether it is a type of contract known as a modified endowment contract. We describe modified endowment Under Section 7702A of the tax code, contracts later in this section. If your policy is not a modified endowment policies that are not classified as contract, it will be treated as a conventional life insurance policy and will modified endowment contracts are taxed as have the following tax treatment: conventional life insurance policies. Surrendering your policy The cost basis in your policy is generally When you surrender, or cash in, your policy, you'll generally be taxed on the the premiums you've paid plus any taxable difference, if any, between the cash surrender value and the cost basis in your distributions less any withdrawals or policy. premiums previously recovered that were not taxable. Making a withdrawal If you make a withdrawal after your policy has been in force for 15 years, you'll only be taxed on the amount you withdraw that exceeds the cost basis in the policy. Special rules apply if you make a withdrawal within the first 15 policy years and it's accompanied by a reduction in benefits. In this case, there is a special formula under which you may be taxed on all or a portion of the withdrawal amount. Taking out a loan If you take out a loan, you will not pay tax on the loan amount unless your policy is surrendered, matures or lapses and you have not repaid your outstanding loan amount. The interest you pay, or that's accrued, on a loan is generally nondeductible. Ask your tax adviser for more information. Loans and corporate-owned policies If you borrow money to buy or carry certain life insurance policies, tax law provisions may limit the deduction of interest payable on loan proceeds. If the taxpayer is an entity that's a direct or indirect beneficiary of certain life insurance, endowment or annuity contracts, a portion of the entity's deductions for loan interest may be disallowed, even though this interest may relate to debt that's completely unrelated to the contract. There may be a limited exception that applies to contracts issued on 20% owners, officers, directors or employees of the entity. For more information about this exception, you should consult your tax adviser. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Modified endowment contracts A modified endowment contract is a special type of life insurance policy. If your policy is a modified endowment contract, it will have the tax treatment Section 7702A of the tax code defines a described below. Any distributions you receive during the life of the policy class of life insurance policies known are treated differently than under conventional life insurance policies. as modified endowment contracts. Like Withdrawals, loans, pledges, assignments and the surrender or maturity of your other life insurance policies, the death policy are all considered distributions and may be subject to tax on an benefit proceeds paid to your beneficiary income-first basis and a 10% penalty. generally are not subject to federal income tax and your policy's accumulated When a policy becomes a modified endowment contract value grows on a tax-deferred basis A life insurance policy becomes a modified endowment contract if, at any time until you receive a cash distribution. during the first seven policy years, the sum of actual premiums paid exceeds the seven-pay limit. The seven-pay limit is the cumulative total of the level If there is a material change to your annual premiums (or seven-pay premiums) required to pay for the policy's future policy, like a change in the death death and endowment benefits. benefit, we may have to retest your policy and restart the seven-pay premium period to determine whether the change has caused the policy to become a modified endowment contract. 51 VARIABLE LIFE INSURANCE AND YOUR TAXES For example, if the seven-pay premiums were $1,000 a year, the maximum premiums you could pay during the first seven years to avoid modified endowment treatment would be $1,000 in the first year, $2,000 through the first two years and $3,000 through the first three years, etc. Under this test, a Pacific Select Exec II - NY policy may or may not be a modified endowment contract, depending on the amount of premiums paid during the policy's first seven contract years or after a material change has been made to the policy. Surrendering your policy If you surrender your policy or it matures, you're taxed on the amount by which the cash surrender value exceeds the cost basis in the policy. Making a withdrawal or taking out a loan If you make a withdrawal or take out a loan from a modified endowment contract, you're taxed on the amount of the withdrawal or loan that's considered income, including all previously non-taxed gains. Income is the difference between the cash surrender value and the cost basis in your policy. It's unclear whether interest paid, or accrued, on a loan is considered interest for federal income tax purposes. If you borrow money to buy or carry certain life insurance policies, tax law provisions may limit the deduction of interest payable on loan proceeds. You should consult your tax adviser. All modified endowment contracts we or our affiliates issue to you in a calendar year are treated as a single contract when we calculate whether a distribution amount is subject to tax. 10% penalty tax If any amount you receive from a modified endowment contract is taxable, you may also have to pay a penalty tax equal to 10% of the taxable amount. A taxpayer will not have to pay the penalty tax if any of the following exceptions apply: . you're at least 59 1/2 years old . you're receiving an amount because you've become disabled . you're receiving an amount that's part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments, paid out at least annually. These payments may be made for your life or life expectancy or for the joint lives or joint life expectancies of you and your beneficiaries. Distributions before a policy becomes a modified endowment contract If your policy fails the seven-pay test and becomes a modified endowment contract, any amount you receive or are deemed to have received during the two years before it became a modified endowment contract may be taxable. The distribution would be treated as having been made in anticipation of the policy's failing to meet the seven-pay test under Treasury Department regulations which are yet to be prescribed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Policy riders Accelerated living benefits rider Amounts received under this rider should be generally excluded from taxable Please see the discussion of optional income under Section 101(g) of the tax code. riders in The death benefit.

Pacific Securities is located at 700 Newport Center Drive, Newport Beach, California 92660. Pacific Securities is registered as a broker-dealer with the SEC and is a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD).

Registered representatives must be licensed to sell variable life insurance under the state insurance and securities regulations that apply. Broker-dealers must be registered with the SEC. How we pay broker-dealers We pay broker-dealers commission for promoting, marketing and selling our policies. Broker-dealers pay a portion of the commission to their registered representatives, under their own arrangements. Commissions are based on "target" premiums we determine. The commission we pay will vary with the agreement, but the most common schedule of commissions we pay is: A target premium is a hypothetical premium . 63% of premiums paid up to the first target premium in the first policy year that is used only to calculate commissions. . 4% of premiums paid up to the first target premium after the first policy year It varies with the death benefit option you . 4% of the premiums paid under targets 2-10 choose, the age of the person insured by . 2% of premiums paid in excess of the 10th target premium. the policy on the policy date, and the gender (unless unisex rates are required) We may pay broker-dealers an annual renewal commission of up to 0.20% of a and risk class of the person insured by policy's accumulated value less any outstanding loan amount.

We allocate your net premiums to these accounts according to the investment options you've chosen. General account We can provide you with reports of our Our general account includes all of our assets, except for those held in our ratings as an insurance company and our separate accounts. We guarantee you an interest rate for up to one year on any ability to pay claims with respect to our amount allocated to the fixed options. The rate is reset annually. The fixed general account assets. options are part of our general account, which we may invest as we wish, according to any laws that apply. We'll credit the guaranteed rate even if the investments we make earn less. Our ability to pay these guarantees is backed by our strength as a company. The fixed options are not securities, so they do not fall under any securities act. For this reason, the SEC has not reviewed the disclosure in this prospectus about the fixed options. However, other federal securities laws may apply to the accuracy and completeness of the disclosure about the fixed options. 54 Separate account You'll find the audited consolidated Amounts allocated to the variable investment options are held in our separate financial statements for PL&A later in account. The assets in this account are kept separate from the assets in our this section of the prospectus.

Some of the money in the separate account may include charges we collect from the account and any investment results on those charges. We cannot charge the assets in the separate account attributable to our reserves and other liabilities under the policies funded by the account with any liabilities from our other business. Similarly, the income, gains or losses, realized or unrealized, of the assets of any variable account belong to that variable account and are credited to or charged against the assets held in that variable account without regard to our other income, gains or losses. Making changes to the separate account We can add, change or remove any securities that the separate account or any variable account holds or buys, as long as we comply with the laws that apply. We can substitute shares of one Pacific Select Fund portfolio with shares of another portfolio or fund if: . any portfolio is no longer available for investment . our management believes that a portfolio is no longer appropriate in view of the purposes of the policy. We'll give you any required notice or receive any required approval from policy owners or the SEC before we substitute any shares. We'll comply with the filing or other procedures established by insurance regulators as required by law. We can add new variable accounts, which may include additional subaccounts of the separate account, to serve as investment options under the policies. These may be managed separate accounts or they may invest in a new portfolio of the fund, or in shares of another investment company or one of its portfolios, or in a suitable investment vehicle with a specified investment objective. We can add new variable accounts when we believe that it's warranted by marketing needs or investment conditions. We'll decide on what basis we'll make new accounts available to existing policy owners. 55 ABOUT PL&A We can also eliminate any of our variable accounts if we believe marketing, tax or investment conditions warrant it. We can terminate and liquidate any variable account. If we make any changes to variable accounts or substitution of securities, we can make appropriate changes to this policy or any of our other policies, by appropriate endorsement, to reflect the change or substitution. We will notify you if there is a material change in the investment policy of a Variable Account. The notice will inform you of your options, including your option to transfer from such Variable Account to the Fixed Account within 60 days after: . the effective date of the material change, or . the date you receive the notice, whichever is later. If we believe it's in the best interests of people holding voting rights under the policies and we meet any required regulatory approvals we can do the following: . operate the separate account as a management investment company, unit investment trust, or any other form permitted under securities or other laws . register or deregister the separate account under securities law . combine the separate account with one of our other separate accounts or our affiliates' separate accounts . combine one or more variable accounts . create a committee, board or other group to manage the separate account. . change the classification of any variable account. Taxes we pay We may be charged for state and local taxes. Currently, we pay these taxes because they are small amounts with respect to the policy. If these taxes increase significantly, we may deduct them from the separate account. We may charge the separate account for any federal, state and local taxes that apply to the separate account or to our operations. This could happen if our tax status or the tax treatment of variable life insurance changes. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Voting rights We're the legal owner of the shares of the Pacific Select Fund that are held by the variable accounts. We may vote on any matter at shareholder meetings of the fund. However, we are required by law to vote as you instruct on the shares relating to your allocation in a variable investment option. This is called your voting interest. Your voting interest is calculated as of a day set by the Board of Trustees of the fund called the record date. Your voting interest equals the accumulated value in a variable investment option divided by the net asset value of a share of the corresponding portfolio. Fractional shares are included. If allowed by law, we may change how we calculate your voting interest. We'll send you documents from the fund called proxy materials. They include information about the items you'll be voting on and forms for you to give us your instructions. We'll vote shares held in the separate account for which we do not receive voting instructions in the same proportion as all other shares in the portfolio held by that separate account for which we've received timely instructions. We'll vote shares of any portfolio we hold in our general account in the same proportion as the total votes for all of our separate accounts, including this separate account. 56 If the law changes to allow it, we can vote as we wish on shares of the portfolios held in the separate account. When required by state insurance regulatory authorities, we may disregard voting instructions that: . would change a portfolio's investment objective or subclassification . would approve or disapprove an investment advisory contract. We may disregard voting instructions on a change initiated by policy owners that would change a portfolio's investment policy, investment adviser or portfolio manager if: . our disapproval is reasonable . we determine in good faith that the change would be against state law or otherwise be inappropriate, considering the portfolio's objectives and purpose, and considering what effect the change would have on us. If we disregard any voting instructions, we'll include a summary of the action we took and our reasons for it in the next report to policy owners. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Preparing for the year 2000 We rely significantly on the administrator's computer systems and applications in our daily operations. The administrator (Pacific Life) long ago recognized the challenges associated with the Year 2000 date change. This change involves the ability of computer systems to properly recognize the Year 2000. The inability to do so could result in major failures or miscalculations. The administrator began to assess and plan for the potential impact of the Year 2000 prior to 1995. More recently, it has been executing a company-wide plan adopted during 1998 which called for correction or replacement of remaining non-compliant systems by December 31, 1998. The administrator has successfully executed this project plan to date. Virtually all affected systems were remediated and tested in time for use during 1998 year-end processing cycles. Although it is not possible to certify that any system will be completely free of Year 2000 problems, they have performed extensive testing to identify and deal with such potential problems. Additionally, most of the company's critical systems were subject to an independent third-party review process which used sophisticated automated tools to identify Year 2000 related bugs. The results have been very positive and the administrator feels the company's internal systems are positioned well for the date change in the century. The administrator plans to continue to test and re-test throughout 1999 and will respond promptly should any problems arise at any time thereafter. The administrator is continuing to work on contingency plans for critical business processes. When appropriate, alternative methods and procedures are being developed to work around unanticipated problems. In addition to the above, the administrator will continue to carefully evaluate responses from vendors and significant business partners regarding the compliance of their critical business processes and products. Although ultimately PL&A and Pacific Life cannot be responsible for the Year 2000 compliance efforts of these outside entities, we will take appropriate steps wherever possible to develop contingency plans to address vendors and partners deemed non-compliant. 57 ABOUT PL&A Expenses to make the administrator's systems Year 2000 compliant are currently estimated to range from $10 million to $12 million, which excludes the cost of their personnel who support Year 2000 compliance efforts. The administrator does not anticipate any other material future costs associated with the Year 2000 compliance projects, although there can be no assurance. These Year 2000 related statements are designated as "Year 2000 Readiness Disclosure" pursuant to the Year 2000 Information Readiness Disclosure Act, enacted October 19, 1998. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- State regulation We're subject to the laws of the state of Arizona governing insurance companies and to regulations issued by the Commissioner of Insurance of Arizona. In addition, we're subject to the insurance laws and regulations of the other states and jurisdictions in which we're licensed or may become licensed to operate. An annual statement in a prescribed form must be filed with the Commissioner of Insurance of Arizona and with regulatory authorities of other states on or before March 1st in each year. This statement covers our operations for the preceding year and our financial condition as of December 31st of that year. Our affairs are subject to review and examination at any time by the Commissioner of Insurance or his agents, and subject to full examination of our operations at periodic intervals. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Legal proceedings and legal matters The separate account is not involved in any legal proceedings that would have a material effect on policy owners. Legal matters concerning the issue and sale of the life insurance policies described in this prospectus, our organization and authority to issue the policies under Arizona law, and the validity of the forms of the policies under Arizona law, have been passed upon by our general counsel. Legal matters relating to federal securities laws and federal income tax laws have been passed upon by Dechert Price & Rhoads. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Registration statement We've filed a registration statement with the SEC for Pacific Select Exec II - NY, under the Securities Act of 1933. The SEC's rules allow us to omit some of the information required by the registration statement from this prospectus. You can ask for it from the SEC's office in Washington, D.C. They may charge you a fee. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Management The following is a list of our directors and certain officers, along with some information about their business activities over the past five years.

Unaudited financial statements-statutory basis for PL&A as of June 30, 1999 and for the 6 months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 are also included. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Experts The audited financial statements-statutory basis for PM Group Life Insurance Company as of December 31, 1998 and 1997 and for the two years ended December 31, 1998 included in this prospectus have been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, independent auditors, as stated in their reports appearing herein, and have been so included in reliance upon the reports of such firm given upon their authority as experts in accounting and auditing. 60 PM GROUP LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY Financial Statements - Statutory Basis as of and for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997 and Independent Auditors' Report 61 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT PM Group Life Insurance Company: We have audited the accompanying statements of admitted assets, liabilities and capital and surplus - statutory basis of PM Group Life Insurance Company (the "Company") as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the related statements of operations - statutory basis, capital and surplus - statutory basis, and cash flows - statutory basis for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. As described more fully in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company prepared these financial statements using accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Insurance Department of the State of Arizona which practices differ from generally accepted accounting principles. The effects on the financial statements of the variances between the statutory basis of accounting and generally accepted accounting principles are presumed to be material. In our opinion, because of the effects of the matter described in the preceding paragraph, the financial statements referred to above do not present fairly, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, the financial position of PM Group Life Insurance Company as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, or the results of its operations or its cash flows for the years then ended. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the admitted assets, liabilities and capital and surplus of PM Group Life Insurance Company as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, on the basis of accounting described in Note 1.

ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS PM Group Life Insurance Company ("PM Group") is a stock life insurance company domiciled in the State of Arizona, and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pacific Life Insurance Company ("Pacific Life"), formerly Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Company ("Pacific Mutual"). PM Group offers group health, dental and life products to three principal market segments in the United States. Its Group Employee Benefits Operation serves larger employer groups of fifty or more lives, while the Multiple Employer Trust unit insures smaller employer groups with less than fifty lives per group. The Pacific Risk Management Services unit offers stop loss and life products to self- funded plan sponsors. Pursuant to consent received from the Insurance Department of the State of California, Pacific Mutual implemented a plan of conversion to form a mutual holding company structure (the "Conversion") on September 1, 1997. The Conversion created Pacific LifeCorp, an intermediate stock holding company and Pacific Mutual Holding Company ("PMHC"), a mutual holding company. Pacific Mutual was converted to a stock life insurance company and renamed Pacific Life. Under their respective charters, PMHC must always own at least 51% of the outstanding voting stock of Pacific LifeCorp, and Pacific LifeCorp must always own 100% of the voting stock of Pacific Life. BASIS OF PRESENTATION These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Insurance Department of the State of Arizona, which is a comprehensive basis of accounting other than generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Prescribed statutory accounting practices include a variety of publications of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners ("NAIC"), as well as state laws, regulations, and general administrative rules. Permitted statutory accounting practices encompass all accounting practices not so prescribed. Accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Insurance Department of the State of Arizona differ in certain respects, which in some cases are materially different from GAAP. The significant differences are noted below: An interest maintenance reserve ("IMR") is established to capture realized investment gains and losses, net of tax, on the sale of fixed income investments resulting from changes in the general level of interest rates, and is amortized into income over the remaining years to expected maturity of the assets sold under statutory accounting practices; no such reserve is required under GAAP. An asset valuation reserve ("AVR"), based upon a formula prescribed by the NAIC, is established as a liability to offset potential non- interest related investment losses, and changes in the AVR are charged or credited directly to surplus under statutory accounting practices; no such reserve is required under GAAP. Investments in bonds and preferred stocks are generally carried at amortized cost under statutory accounting practices; under GAAP, investments in bonds and preferred stocks, other than those classified as held to maturity, are carried at estimated fair value. Certain assets, principally deferred income taxes and furniture and equipment, are designated as non admitted and excluded from assets by a direct charge to surplus under statutory accounting practices; under GAAP, such assets are carried on the statement of financial condition with appropriate valuation allowances. In March 1998, the NAIC adopted the Codification of Statutory Accounting Principles ("Codification"). The Codification, which is intended to standardize regulatory accounting and reporting for the insurance industry, is 67 PM Group Life Insurance Company NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-STATUTORY BASIS 1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) proposed to be effective January 1, 2001. However, statutory accounting principles will continue to be established by individual state laws and permitted practices and it is uncertain when, or if, the state of Arizona will require adoption of Codification for the preparation of statutory financial statements. PM Group has not finalized the quantification of the effects of Codification on its statutory financial statements. The following is a reconciliation of statutory capital and surplus, as reflected in the accompanying financial statements, to stockholder's equity on a GAAP basis: December 31, 1998 1997 -------------------- (In Thousands) Statutory capital and surplus as reported herein $ 76,699 $ 71,660 Non admitted deferred income tax 19,383 16,632 Asset valuation reserve 7,262 6,870 Unrealized gain on securities 3,874 18,740 Other non admitted assets 2,309 3,102 Interest maintenance reserve 1,389 1,186 Deferred tax on unrealized gains on securities (4,877) (9,380) Other (1,891) (2,084) -------------------- Stockholder's equity - GAAP basis $104,148 $106,726 -------------------- There were no significant differences between statutory net income of $5.1 million and GAAP net income of $5.8 million for the year ended December 31, 1998 and statutory net income of $17.4 million and GAAP net income of $17.3 million for the year ended December 31, 1997. PM Group's significant statutory accounting practices are described below. INVESTMENTS Bonds qualifying for amortization are carried at amortized cost; all other bonds are carried at prescribed values. Preferred stocks are principally stated at amortized cost. Common stocks are carried at market value. Mortgage loans are stated at unpaid principal balances. Real estate is valued at the lower of depreciated cost or market, less related mortgage debt. Real estate is depreciated using the straight-line method over 5 to 30 years. Short-term investments are carried at amortized cost which approximates estimated fair value. Short-term investments generally consist of bonds, commercial paper and money market instruments whose maturities at the time of acquisition were one year or less. The AVR is computed in accordance with a prescribed formula and is designed to stabilize surplus against valuation and credit-related losses for certain invested assets. Changes to the AVR are reported as direct additions to, or deductions from, surplus. The IMR results in the deferral of after-tax realized capital gains and losses attributable to interest rate fluctuations on fixed income investments. These capital gains and losses are amortized into investment income over the remaining life of the investment sold. The IMR of $1.4 million and $1.2 million as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, is included in other liabilities on the accompanying statements of admitted assets, liabilities and capital and surplus - statutory basis. Net realized capital gains and losses are determined on the specific identification method and are presented net of Federal capital gains tax and transfers to the IMR. 68 PM Group Life Insurance Company NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-STATUTORY BASIS 1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Derivatives are used principally for hedging purposes and are valued consistently with the hedged items. POLICY RESERVES AND DEPOSIT FUNDS Medical expense claim reserves are based on PM Group's actual loss experience. Life insurance reserves, including premium waivers, are based on various tabular methods and actual loss experience. Disabled life reserves are determined using various tabular reserve methods. The liability for deposit funds is based primarily on the policyholders' equity in their deposit accounts, including credited interest. REVENUES AND EXPENSES Premiums are recognized as revenue over the premium paying period. Investment income is recorded as earned. Expenses, including policy acquisition costs, and Federal income taxes are charged to operations as incurred. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES PM Group's operations are included in the consolidated Federal income tax return of PMHC, PM Group's ultimate parent. PM Group is allocated an income tax expense based on the effect of including its operations in the consolidated provision. Deferred taxes are provided for as permitted by the Insurance Department of the State of Arizona. The net deferred tax asset is non admitted. This practice has no effect on total surplus. OTHER SURPLUS TRANSACTIONS Other surplus transactions primarily consist of unrealized capital gains and losses, changes in non admitted assets and change in the AVR. ESTIMATED FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The estimated fair value of financial instruments disclosed in Notes 2 and 3 has been determined using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required to interpret market data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented may not be indicative of the amounts PM Group could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies could have a significant effect on the estimated fair value amounts. RISK-BASED CAPITAL Risk-based capital is a method developed by the NAIC to measure the minimum amount of capital appropriate for an insurance company to support its overall business operations in consideration of its size and risk profile. The formulas for determining the amount of risk-based capital specify various weighting factors that are applied to financial balances or various levels of activity based on the perceived degree of risk. The adequacy of a company's actual capital is measured by comparing it to the risk-based capital as determined by the formulas. Companies below minimum risk-based capital requirements are classified within certain levels, each of which requires specified corrective action. As of December 31, 1998 and 1997, PM Group exceeded the minimum risk-based capital requirements. 69 PM Group Life Insurance Company NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-STATUTORY BASIS 1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) BUSINESS RISKS PM Group operates in a business environment which is subject to various risks and uncertainties. PM Group's group health insurance is subject to varying levels of regulation. The United States Congress has, from time to time, considered various health care proposals and several states have enacted health care reform legislation. Although it is not possible to predict what changes may be adopted at the state or Federal level, certain changes could have a negative impact upon the group health business of PM Group. USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by regulatory authorities requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of admitted assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. RECLASSIFICATIONS Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 1998 financial statement presentation. 70 PM Group Life Insurance Company NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-STATUTORY BASIS 2. INVESTMENTS IN DEBT SECURITIES The statement value, gross unrealized gains and losses, and estimated fair value of debt securities are shown below. Debt securities include bonds, redeemable preferred stocks and short-term investments. Short-term investments amounted to $38.0 million and $31.1 million as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The estimated fair value of publicly traded securities is based on quoted market prices. For securities not actively traded, estimated fair values were provided by independent pricing services specializing in "matrix pricing" and modeling techniques. PM Group also estimates certain fair values based on interest rates, credit quality and average maturity or from securities with comparable trading characteristics. Gross Unrealized Statement ---------------- Estimated Value Gains Losses Fair Value ------------------------------------- (In Thousands) December 31, 1998: ------------------ U.S. Treasury securities and obligations of U.S. government authorities and agencies $ 6,145 $ 114 $ 3 $ 6,256 Obligations of states, political subdivisions and foreign governments 8,409 345 16 8,738 Corporate securities 157,844 3,189 952 160,081 Mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities 82,730 1,462 225 83,967 Redeemable preferred stock 4,862 165 6 5,021 ------------------------------------- Total $259,990 $5,275 $1,202 $264,063 ------------------------------------- December 31, 1997: ------------------ U.S. Treasury securities and obligations of U.S. government authorities and agencies $ 5,907 $ 56 $ 5,963 Obligations of states, political subdivisions and foreign governments 7,605 228 7,833 Corporate securities 143,201 20,115 $429 162,887 Mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities 101,613 1,591 274 102,930 Redeemable preferred stock 5,203 165 193 5,175 ------------------------------------- Total $263,529 $22,155 $896 $284,788 ------------------------------------- The carrying value and estimated fair value of debt securities as of December 31, 1998, by contractual repayment date of principal, are shown below. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. Statement Estimated Value Fair Value --------------------- (In Thousands) Due in one year or less $ 55,829 $ 55,837 Due after one year through five years 95,381 96,983 Due after five years through ten years 20,987 21,652 Due after ten years 5,063 5,624 --------------------- 177,260 180,096 Mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities 82,730 83,967 --------------------- Total $259,990 $264,063 --------------------- 71 PM Group Life Insurance Company NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-STATUTORY BASIS 2. INVESTMENTS IN DEBT SECURITIES (Continued) Proceeds from sales of investments in debt securities were $35.8 million and $39.0 million for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Gross gains of $3.0 million and $16,000 and gross losses of $0 and $715,000 were realized on those sales for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. 3. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The estimated fair values of PM Group's financial instruments, including debt securities (Note 2), are as follows: December 31, 1998 December 31, 1997 ----------------- ----------------- Statement Estimated Statement Estimated Value Fair Value Value Fair Value ------------------------------------------- (In Thousands) Assets: Debt securities $259,990 $264,063 $263,529 $284,788 Preferred and common stocks 18,172 18,172 9,431 9,445 Mortgage loans 11,118 12,396 14,079 15,775 Liabilities: Deposit funds 7,748 7,748 9,882 9,882 Derivative financial instrument: Asset swap contract (2,327) The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of these financial instruments as of December 31, 1998 and 1997: PREFERRED AND COMMON STOCKS The estimated fair values are based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes. MORTGAGE LOANS The estimated fair value of the mortgage loan portfolio is determined by discounting the estimated future cash flows, using a year-end market rate which is applicable to the yield, credit quality and average maturity of the composite portfolio. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT PM Group used an asset swap contract to manage interest rate and equity risk to better match portfolio duration to liabilities. Asset swap contracts involve the exchange of upside equity potential for fixed income streams. The amounts to be received or paid pursuant to the agreement are accrued and recognized through an adjustment to net investment income in the accompanying statements of operations - statutory basis over the life of the agreement. The asset swap contract matured during 1998. As of December 31, 1997 the asset swap contract had a notional principal amount of $5.0 million. DEPOSIT FUNDS The estimated fair value of deposit funds with no defined maturities is the amount payable on demand. 72 PM Group Life Insurance Company NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-STATUTORY BASIS 4. LIABILITY FOR UNPAID CLAIMS AND CLAIM ADJUSTMENT EXPENSES Activity in the liability for unpaid claims and claim adjustment expenses, which is included in both policy reserves and policy benefits payable on the accompanying statements of admitted assets, liabilities and capital and surplus - statutory basis, is summarized as follows: Years Ended December 31, 1998 1997 ------------------ (In Thousands) Balance at January 1 $139,533 $118,712 Less reinsurance recoverables 755 1,009 ------------------ Net balance at January 1 138,778 117,703 ------------------ Incurred related to: Current year 415,300 350,231 Prior years (18,282) (17,973) ------------------ Total incurred 397,018 332,258 ------------------ Paid related to: Current year 305,894 241,508 Prior years 93,596 68,920 ------------------ Total paid 399,490 310,428 ------------------ Net balance at December 31 136,306 139,533 Plus reinsurance recoverables 119 755 ------------------ Balance at December 31 $136,425 $140,288 ------------------ As a result of payment of prior years estimated claims, the provision for claims and claim adjustment expenses decreased by $18.3 million and $18.0 million for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. This reduction is primarily due to lower than anticipated settlement of claims and reduced claim adjustment expenses. 5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Pacific Life provides services of certain management and other personnel, and other support services to PM Group. Services provided include employee participation in a pension plan and postretirement health care and life insurance plans maintained by Pacific Life. Charges for these services amounted to $12.1 million and $13.1 million for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, and are included in operating expenses on the accompanying statements of operations - statutory basis. PM Group permits certain officers and employees to defer a portion of current cash compensation under a deferred compensation plan maintained by Pacific Life. Interest accrued to this plan amounted to $312,375 and $252,886 for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Under a reinsurance and service agreement, which terminated on January 1, 1999, PM Group assumed substantially all of Pacific Life's group life and health insurance. Premiums of $99.6 million and $98.6 million and benefits of $95.1 million and $82.1 million were assumed for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Amounts receivable under this agreement were $25.0 million and $16.8 million as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. 73 PM Group Life Insurance Company NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-STATUTORY BASIS 6. POSTRETIREMENT HEALTH CARE AND LIFE INSURANCE PLANS PM Group participates in a defined benefit health care plan and a defined benefit life insurance plan (the "Plans") sponsored by Pacific Life that provide postretirement benefits for all eligible retirees and their dependents. Generally, qualified employees may become eligible for these benefits if they reach normal retirement age, have been covered under Pacific Life's policy as an active employee for a minimum continuous period prior to the date retired, and have an employment date before January 1, 1990. The Plans contain cost-sharing features such as deductibles and coinsurance, and require retirees to make contributions which can be adjusted annually. Pacific Life's commitment to qualified employees who retire after April 1, 1994 is limited to specific dollar amounts. Pacific Life reserves the right to modify or terminate the Plans at any time. Pacific Life and PM Group utilize the accrual method of accounting for the costs of the Plans as prescribed by the Insurance Departments of the States of California and Arizona, respectively. PM Group has elected to amortize the transition obligation, which has been allocated from Pacific Life, of $3.7 million over twenty years. The transition obligation amortization amounted to $183,000 for each of the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997. 7. DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS Dividend payments by PM Group to its parent cannot exceed the lesser of 10% of surplus as regards to policyholders or the statutory net gain from operations, without prior approval from the Insurance Commissioner of the State of Arizona. During 1997, PM Group received approval to pay an extraordinary dividend in excess of these limitations. For the year ended December 31, 1997, PM Group paid a dividend of $14.0 million, of which $8.0 million was considered extraordinary. No dividends were paid during 1998. During 1999, PM Group can pay dividends amounting to approximately $6.1 million without prior approval from the Insurance Commissioner of the State of Arizona. 8. COMMITMENTS PM Group has outstanding commitments to make investments in bonds and limited partnerships as follows (In Thousands): Year Ending December 31: ----------------------- 1999 $ 6,248 2000-2003 18,657 2004 and thereafter 5,370 ------- Total $30,275 ------- PM Group leases office facilities under various non-cancelable operating leases. Aggregate minimum future commitments are as follows (In Thousands): Year Ending December 31: ----------------------- 1999 $2,190 2000 1,872 2001 1,443 2002 1,328 ------ Total $6,833 ------ 74 PM Group Life Insurance Company NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-STATUTORY BASIS 9. LITIGATION PM Group is a respondent in a number of legal proceedings, some of which involve extra-contractual damages. In the opinion of management, the outcome of these proceedings is not likely to have a material adverse effect on the financial position of PM Group. 10. SUBSEQUENT EVENT PM Group is in the process of requesting from the New York Insurance Department authority to transact business in the State of New York.

Illustrations similar to the ones in hypothetical rates of return. this prospectus, but based on information you give us about the age of the person These illustrations are based on a hypothetical policy with the following to be insured by the policy, their risk characteristics: class, the face amount, the death benefit and premium payments. . the annual premium is $10,000 . on the policy date, the person insured by the policy is a 45-year old male .

The hypothetical rates of return are equal to constant gross annual rates of 0%, 6% and 12%. . All premium payments are made at the beginning of the policy year. . An amount equal to the annual premium, after taxes, is invested to earn interest at 5% compounded annually for the second column of each table, Total premiums paid plus interest at 5%, which shows the amount that would accumulate. . No policy loans have been taken out. . The amounts shown for the death benefits, accumulated values and net cash surrender values reflect charges deducted from the variable accounts. This means that the net investment return on the variable accounts is lower than the gross investment return on the assets. . The amounts shown for the death benefits, accumulated values and net cash surrender values also reflect premium loads, cost of insurance, administrative charges, mortality and expense risk charges, and surrender charges. . Illustrations 1 through 12 assume total annual advisory fees and expenses of The fund's investment advisory fees and .77% of total average daily net assets of the fund. This reflects average expenses are shown in An overview of advisory fees of .69% and average expenses of .08% based upon fees and expenses Pacific Select Exec II - NY. of portfolios available as investment options under the policy. 83 ILLUSTRATIONS . Illustrations 13 and 14 assume total annual advisory fees and expenses of .72% of total average daily net assets of the fund. This reflects weighted average advisory fees of .65% and weighted average expenses of .08% based upon fees and expenses of portfolios available as investment options under the policy. . There are no charges against the variable accounts for income taxes but we reserve the right to impose charges in the future. Things to keep in mind Here are a few things to keep in mind when reviewing the illustrations: . The values shown would be different if, although the gross annual investment rates of return averaged 0%, 6% or 12% over a period of years, they also rose above or fell below those averages for individual policy years. . After we've deducted the charges and fund expenses described in the assumptions above, the illustrated gross annual investment rates of return of 0%, 6% and 12% correspond to approximate net annual rates of return of -.77%, 5.18%, and 11.14% for illustrations 1 through 12 and -.72%, 5.24%, and 11.19% for illustrations 13 and 14. . The amounts shown would be different if unisex insurance rates were used or if the people insured by the policy were females and insurance rates for females were used. . For the illustrations that assume current cost of insurance rates, the amounts shown would be different if either person insured by the policy was a smoker and rates for smokers were used. . The fund expenses used in the illustrations do not include foreign taxes. Here's what foreign taxes were for the year ended December 31, 1998: ------------------------------------------------- Percentage of average Portfolio daily net assets ------------------------------------------------- Aggressive Equity 0.01% Growth LT 0.01% Equity Income 0.01% Equity Index 0.01% International 0.23% Emerging Markets 0.26% ------------------------------------------------- 84 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Illustration 1 Death benefit Option A and guideline premium test at current cost of insurance rates Based on average annual advisory fees and expenses of the portfolios DEATH BENEFIT OPTION:A GUIDELINE PREMIUM TEST FACE AMOUNT:$451,940 MALE SELECT NONSMOKER ISSUE AGE 45 ANNUAL PREMIUM:$10,000 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Flexible premium Total variable universal life premiums End of year DEATH BENEFIT assuming Illustration of death benefits, accumulated End of paid plus hypothetical gross annual investment values and net cash surrender values. policy interest at return of year 5% 0% 6% 12% All premium payments are illustrated as ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- if made at the beginning of the policy 1 $10,500 $451,940 $451,940 $451,940 year. 2 $21,525 $451,940 $451,940 $451,940 3 $33,101 $451,940 $451,940 $451,940 This illustration assumes no policy loans 4 $45,256 $451,940 $451,940 $451,940 or partial withdrawals have been made. 5 $58,019 $451,940 $451,940 $451,940 6 $71,420 $451,940 $451,940 $451,940 The death benefits, accumulated values and 7 $85,491 $451,940 $451,940 $451,940 cash surrender values will differ if 8 $100,266 $451,940 $451,940 $451,940 premiums are paid in different amounts 9 $115,779 $451,940 $451,940 $451,940 or frequencies. 10 $132,068 $451,940 $451,940 $451,940 15 $226,575 $451,940 $451,940 $451,940 The hypothetical investment rates shown 20 $347,193 $451,940 $451,940 $640,342 above and elsewhere in this prospectus 25 $501,135 $451,940 $451,940 $1,094,265 are illustrative only and should not be 30 $697,608 $451,940 $564,267 $1,760,824 interpreted as a representation of past 35 $948,363 $451,940 $762,929 $2,972,033 or future investment results.
