Item 28. Indemnification

(a) The Distribution Agreement between Pacific Life Insurance Company, Pacific Life & Annuity Company (collectively referred to as “Pacific Life”) and Pacific Select Distributors, LLC (PSD) provides substantially as follows:

Pacific Life shall indemnify and hold harmless PSD and PSD’s officers, directors, agents, controlling persons, employees, subsidiaries and affiliates for all attorneys’ fees, litigation expenses, costs, losses, claims, judgments, settlements, fines, penalties, damages, and liabilities incurred as the direct or indirect result of: (i) negligent, dishonest, fraudulent, unlawful, or criminal acts, statements, or omissions by Pacific Life or its employees, agents, officers, or directors; (ii) Pacific Life’s breach of this Agreement; (iii) Pacific Life’s failure to comply with any statute, rule, or regulation; (iv) a claim or dispute between Pacific Life and a Broker/Dealer (including its Representatives) and/or a Contract owner. Pacific Life shall not be required to indemnify or hold harmless PSD for expenses, losses, claims, damages, or liabilities that result from PSD’s misfeasance, bad faith, negligence, willful misconduct or wrongful act.

PSD shall indemnify and hold harmless Pacific Life and Pacific Life’s officers, directors, agents, controlling persons, employees, subsidiaries and affiliates for all attorneys’ fees, litigation expenses, costs, losses, claims, judgments, settlements, fines, penalties, damages and liabilities incurred as the direct or indirect result of: (i) PSD’s breach of this Agreement; and/or (ii) PSD’s failure to comply with any statute, rule, or regulation. PSD shall not be required to indemnify or hold harmless Pacific Life for expenses, losses, claims, damages, or liabilities that have resulted from Pacific Life’s willful misfeasance, bad

faith, negligence, willful misconduct or wrongful act.

(b) The Form of Selling Agreement between Pacific Life, Pacific Select Distributors, LLC (PSD) and Various Broker-Dealers and


Agency (Selling Entities) provides substantially as follows:

Pacific Life and PSD agree to indemnify and hold harmless Selling Entities, their officers, directors, agents and employees, against any and all losses, claims, damages, or liabilities to which they may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, the Investment Company Act of 1940, or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated or necessary to make the statements made not misleading in the registration statement for the Contracts or for the shares of Pacific Select Fund (the “Fund”) filed pursuant to the Securities Act, or any prospectus included as a part thereof, as from time to time amended and supplemented, or in any advertisement or sales literature provided by Pacific Life and PSD.

Selling Entities agree to, jointly and severally, hold harmless and indemnify Pacific Life and PSD and any of their respective affiliates, employees, officers, agents and directors (collectively, “Indemnified Persons”) against any and all claims, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, losses occasioned by any rescission of any Contract pursuant to a “free look” provision or by any return of initial purchase payment in connection with an incomplete application), including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and any loss attributable to the investment experience under a Contract, that any Indemnified Person may incur from liabilities resulting or arising out of or based upon (a) any untrue or alleged untrue statement other than statements contained in the registration statement or prospectus relating to any Contract, (b) (i) any inaccurate or misleading, or allegedly inaccurate or misleading sales material used in connection with any marketing or solicitation relating to any Contract, other than sales material provided preprinted by Pacific Life or PSD, and (ii) any use of any sales material that either has not been specifically approved in writing by Pacific Life or PSD or that, although previously approved in writing by Pacific Life or PSD, has been disapproved, in writing by either of them, for further use, or (c) any act or omission of a Subagent, director, officer or employee of Selling Entities, including, without limitation, any failure of Selling Entities or any Subagent to be registered as required as a broker/dealer under the 1934 Act, or licensed in accordance with the rules of any applicable SRO or insurance regulator.

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (“Act”) may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling Pacific Life pursuant to the foregoing provisions, Pacific Life has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Item 29. Principal Underwriters

  

(a)

PSD also acts as principal underwriter for Pacific Life Insurance Company, on its own behalf and on behalf of its Separate Account I, Separate Account A, Separate Account B, Pacific Select Variable Annuity Separate Account, Pacific Corinthian Variable Separate Account, Pacific Select Exec Separate Account, Pacific COLI Separate Account, Pacific COLI Separate Account II, Pacific COLI Separate Account III, Pacific COLI Separate Account IV, Pacific COLI Separate Account V, Pacific COLI Separate Account VI, Pacific COLI Separate Account X, Pacific COLI Separate Account XI, Pacific Select Separate Account, and Pacific Life & Annuity Company, on its own behalf and on behalf of its Separate Account A, Pacific Select Exec Separate Account, and Separate Account I.

Amendment to Participation Agreement

As of June 25, 2021

by and among

Franklin Templeton Variable Insurance Products Trust

Franklin/Templeton Distributors, Inc.

Legg Mason Investor Services, LLC

Pacific Life Insurance Company

 

This Amendment (“Amendment”) to the Participation Agreement by and among Franklin Templeton Variable Insurance Products Trust (the “Trust”), Franklin/Templeton Distributors, Inc., a New York Corporation (“FTDI” and together with the Trust, “we,” “our,” or “us”), and Pacific Life Insurance Company, and Pacific Select Distributors, Inc., your distributor (collectively, the “Company,” “you” or “your”), on your own behalf and on behalf of certain Accounts, is made as of June 25, 2021, by and among the Trust, FTDI, the Company, and Legg Mason Investor Services, LLC, a registered broker dealer and affiliate of FTDI (“LMIS”, and together with the Trust, FTDI, and the Company, the “Parties”).  Unless otherwise indicated, the terms defined in the Participation Agreement shall have the same meaning in this Amendment.

 

RECITALS

 

WHEREAS, on July 31, 2020, Franklin Resources, Inc. (“FRI”), the parent company of FTDI, acquired Legg Mason, Inc., the parent company of LMIS, which resulted in LMIS becoming an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of FRI; and

 

WHEREAS, in connection with an internal reorganization (the “Reorganization”), FTDI will be merged into LMIS, as a consequence of which LMIS, as the surviving entity, will assume all of FTDI’s rights and obligations under the Participation Agreement by operation of law; and

 

WHEREAS, the Reorganization will take place in two phases, involving (1) a redomestication and change of name transaction, in which FTDI will become a Delaware limited liability company under the name of Franklin Templeton Distributors, LLC (“FTD LLC”) followed by (2) the merger of FTD LLC into LMIS; and

 

WHEREAS, upon the closing of the Reorganization, LMIS will be renamed Franklin Distributors, LLC (“FD LLC”); and

 

WHEREAS, the Participation Agreement currently defines the term “Underwriter” to refer to FTDI.

 

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of these premises and the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Parties agree as follows:

 

1.            Underwriter.  Upon the closing of the Reorganization, the term Underwriter, as used in the Participation Agreement, shall refer to FD LLC; the terms “we,” “our,” and “us” shall refer to the Trust together with FD LLC.

 

2.            Continuation of Participation Agreement.  Except as stated in Section 1 of this Amendment with respect to references to the Underwriter, the Participation Agreement, including all representations, warranties, terms, covenants and conditions and all Schedules thereto, shall continue to be in full force and effect.

 


 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the Parties has caused their duly authorized officer to execute this Amendment.
