BECAUSE YOUR FAMILY COMES FIRST
They are there with you on your journey through life. You look after
them. They look after you. It’s your family. They come first.
Part of looking out for your family is trying to protect them from risks.
And one of their biggest risks is what they would do without you.
What if you were to die too soon? Could your family get by without your income?
Pacific Indexed Protector 2 is an indexed universal life insurance
product from Pacific Life Insurance Company. It can help provide
your family with financial protection through income replacement from
policy proceeds if you die prematurely.
As cash value life insurance, each premium you pay has the potential
to do more for your family.

on state of policy issue.

Premiums, Charges, and Current Rates
POLICY PREMIUMS: Your premiums are flexible.
Choose the amount you want to pay and the timing.
As long as your policy’s cash value is sufficient to pay
ongoing policy charges, your policy will stay in force.
Indexed universal life insurance generally requires
additional premiums after the initial payment. If either
no premiums are paid or subsequent premiums are
insufficient to continue coverage, it is possible the
coverage will expire.
POLICY CHARGES: The cost of insurance and benefits
provided through your policy is deducted monthly in the
form of policy charges, which include an Administrative
Charge, Coverage Charge, Cost of Insurance Charge,
and any applicable rider charges. Additionally, a pre-
mium load is deducted from each premium payment.
To understand how policy charges affect your policy’s
cash value, request a personalized illustration that
includes an Analysis of Charges. Policy charges will
reduce your policy’s effective rate of return.
POLICY SURRENDER CHARGES: If you surrender
your policy within the first 20 policy years, a surrender
charge will apply. A surrender charge will reduce your
policy’s cash value payable at policy surrender.
POLICY FACE AMOUNT CHANGES: You may
increase or decrease the face amount on your policy,
subject to restrictions, which may impact your policy
charges and surrender charges.
NON-GUARANTEED ELEMENTS: Non-guaranteed/
current elements are not guaranteed by definition.
As such, Pacific Life Insurance Company reserves
the right to change or modify any of these elements.
This right to change these elements is not limited to a
specific time or reason.
04
BECAUSE YOUR MONEY COUNTSProtecting your family with life insurance is a long-term commitment.
The type of coverage you choose matters. So does the company
you choose.
For the most affordable premiums, term life insurance is hard to beat.
As the name implies, though, each policy has a set term of coverage.
When the term ends, all the coverage and money paid for it go away.
With Pacific Indexed Protector 2, you may keep your life insurance protection for as long as you need it. Your policy will stay in force as long as your policy’s cash value is sufficient to pay ongoing policy charges.
Unlike term coverage, net premiums for cash value life insurance have
the potential to accumulate and grow. And you may increase or decrease
your premiums based on how much your policy has accumulated.
Flexibility is a hallmark of cash value life insurance coverage.

Zero FloatsWhat goes up must come down. Or does it?
Indexed universal life insurance is a form of cash value life insurance. What makes it
different is the way it credits interest to your policy’s cash value if you allocate among
the indexed accounts. Imagine the interest rate your policy credits as a buoy riding
along the waves of stock market movements.
Your policy’s buoy is anchored, meaning it can only float up to a certain point. This
maximum is called the growth cap and it limits your interest crediting rate on the upside.
Your interest rate is guaranteed to be no less than 0%. If the market drops, your cash
value stays where it was, reduced only by policy charges and any distributions you take,
such as withdrawals and policy loans.
With 0% guaranteed, your policy’s cash value is protected against market-based losses.
Indexed accounts do not directly participate in any stock or equity investments, but they
do credit an interest rate based in part on the movements of stock market indexes.
06
THE POTENTIAL TO GROWThe cash value of a Pacific Indexed Protector 2 life insurance policy has the potential to accumulate and grow.
Each premium you pay, net a premium load, is applied to the policy’s
fixed account, where it will earn a current interest rate, less monthly
policy charges.
You may transfer your policy’s accumulated value from the fixed
account to any combination of available indexed accounts on the
15th of each month. Each transfer into an indexed account creates a
unit of value called a segment. Any applicable interest is credited at
the end of each segment’s term, based in part on the performance of
a major stock market index, excluding dividends.
Talk to your life insurance producer about your financial goals and
the accounts that might match your current and long-term needs.

Tax Considerations: Loans and Withdrawals
For federal income tax purposes, tax-free income
assumes, among other things: (1) withdrawals do not
exceed tax basis (generally, premiums paid less prior
withdrawals); (2) policy remains in force until death;
(3) withdrawals taken during the first 15 policy years
do not occur at the time of, or during the two years
prior to, any reduction in benefits; and (4) the policy
does not become a modified endowment contract.
See IRC Sections 72, 7702(f)(7)(B), 7702A. Any policy
withdrawals, loans, and loan interest will reduce
policy values and may reduce benefits.
08
ACCESSING YOUR CASH VALUEBecause life is filled with unexpected surprises, wants, and needs, you
may have to access your life insurance policy’s available cash value
through policy loans and withdrawals that are tax-free.
If you are supporting your growing children and your elderly parents,
for example, you may be in the middle of a Sandwich Generation
moment. Financial resources might be tight.
Along with the flexibility to access your policy’s available cash value, if
you die prematurely, your policy’s proceeds payable at your death may
help continue the support you have been providing to your family.

FAMILY
Tax Considerations: Policy Proceeds
For federal income tax purposes, life insurance death
benefits generally pay income tax-free to beneficiaries
pursuant to IRC Section 101(a)(1). In certain situations,
however, life insurance death benefits may be partially
or wholly taxable. Situations include, but are not
limited to: the transfer of a life insurance policy for
valuable consideration unless the transfer qualifies
for an exception under IRC Section 101(a)(2) (i.e. the
“transfer-for-value rule”); arrangements that lack
an insurable interest based on state law; and an
employer-owned policy unless the policy qualifies for
an exception under IRC Section 101( j).
10
YOUR POLICY PROCEEDS FOR YOUR FAMILYYour policy’s proceeds are paid tax-free to your policy beneficiaries
when you die. Along with replacing your income, the proceeds might
be used to pay off the family home, satisfy debts, and/or help ensure
efficient estate transfer.
You have three choices for your policy’s payout structure:
A Level Death benefit equals the policy’s face amount.
B IncreasingDeath benefit equals the policy’s face amount,
plus the policy’s accumulated cash value.
C Return of Premium
Death benefit equals the policy’s face
amount plus the sum of premiums paid,
less any withdrawals.
How you structure your policy will affect its charges and surrender
charges, so work with your life insurance producer to build the coverage
that meets your needs.
11
FAMILY
Financial Features
Your policy offers optional features called riders for
additional life insurance and financial needs. Riders
help expand the flexibility and protection of your
policy. Some riders are automatically included with
eligible policies. Other riders must be elected at
policy issue for additional cost.
Ask your life insurance producer to provide you
with more details on the financial features available
to you through riders.
Riders will likely incur additional charges and are
subject to availability, restrictions and limitations.
When considering a rider, request a policy
illustration from your life insurance producer to
see the rider’s impact on your policy’s values.
12
GUARANTEED PROTECTIONWhat good is life insurance coverage if your policy lapses due to insufficient cash
value to pay ongoing policy charges? With Pacific Indexed Protector 2, you can
get guaranteed protection to or beyond life expectancy at competitive premiums.
With the guarantee, you can safeguard your policy against lapse, regardless of policy performance. Simply elect the optional No-Lapse Guarantee Rider at policy issue and choose a guaranteed duration. Your life insurance producer can illustrate the necessary premiums required.
Timing of your premium payments is important. Miss a premium or make a
late payment, and your no-lapse duration may be shortened or negated. If the
no-lapse feature terminates, additional premiums would be required to resume
the no-lapse guarantee and/or policy. If policy loans or withdrawals are taken,
additional premiums may be required to keep the no-lapse guarantee in force.
The No-Lapse Guarantee Rider (Form #R14FNL or ICC14 R14FNL, based on state
of policy issue), depending on how you structure your policy, has a maximum
duration of the insured’s lifetime, subject to certain limits. If your net no-lapse
guarantee value is zero, the no-lapse feature terminates. If the no-lapse feature
terminates, additional premiums would be required to resume the no-lapse
guarantee. If policy performance is such that your policy is being maintained
solely by the no-lapse guarantee, your policy will not build cash value.
