ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES AGREEMENT
Exhibit 99.(8)(k)
PACIFIC LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY (“INSURER”) and INVESCO AIM ADVISORS, INC. (“INVESCO AIM”)
(collectively, the “Parties”) mutually agree to the arrangements set forth in this Administrative
Services Agreement (the “Agreement”) dated as of December 1, 2008.
WHEREAS, INVESCO AIM is the investment adviser to AIM Variable Insurance Funds (the “Fund”);
and
WHEREAS, INVESCO AIM has entered into an amended Master Administrative Services Agreement with
the Fund (“Master Agreement”) pursuant to which it has agreed to provide, or arrange to provide,
certain administrative services, including such services as may be requested by the Fund’s Board of
Directors from time to time; and
WHEREAS, INSURER issues variable life insurance policies and/or variable annuity contracts
(collectively, the “Contracts”); and
WHEREAS, INSURER has entered into an amended participation agreement, dated December 1, 2008
(“Participation Agreement”) with the Fund, pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to make shares of
certain of its portfolios (“Portfolios”) available for purchase by one or more of INSURER’s
separate accounts or divisions thereof (each, a “Separate Account”), in connection with the
allocation by Contract owners of purchase payments to corresponding investment options offered
under the Contracts; and
WHEREAS, INSURER and INVESCO AIM expect that the Fund, and its Portfolios, can derive
substantial savings in administrative expenses by virtue of having one or more Separate Accounts of
INSURER each as a single shareholder of record of Portfolio shares, rather than having numerous
public shareholders of such shares; and
WHEREAS, INSURER and INVESCO AIM expect that the Fund, and its Portfolios, can derive such
substantial savings because INSURER performs the administrative services listed on Schedule A
hereto for the Fund in connection with the Contracts issued by INSURER; and
WHEREAS, INSURER has no contractual or other legal obligation to perform such administrative
services, other than pursuant to this Agreement and the Participation Agreement; and
WHEREAS, INSURER desires to be compensated for providing such administrative services; and
WHEREAS, INVESCO AIM desires that the Fund benefit from the lower administrative
expenses resulting from the administrative services performed by INSURER; and
WHEREAS, INVESCO AIM desires to retain the administrative services of INSURER and
1
to
compensate INSURER for providing such administrative services;
NOW, THEREFORE, the Parties agree as follows:
Section 1. Administrative Services; Payments Therefor.
(a) INSURER shall provide the administrative services set out in Schedule A hereto and made a
part hereof, as the same may be amended from time to time. For such services, INVESCO AIM agrees
to pay to INSURER a quarterly fee (“Quarterly Fee”) equal to a percentage of the average daily net
assets of the Fund attributable to the Contracts issued by INSURER (“INSURER Fund Assets”) at the
following annual rates:
Annual Rate
(b) INVESCO AIM shall calculate the Quarterly Fee at the end of each calendar quarter and
will make such payment to INSURER, without demand or notice by INSURER, within 30 days thereafter,
in a manner mutually agreed upon by the Parties from time to time.
(c) From time to time, the Parties shall review the Quarterly Fee to determine whether it
exceeds or is reasonably expected to exceed the incurred and anticipated costs, over time, of
INSURER. The Parties agree to negotiate in good faith a reduction to the Quarterly Fee as
necessary to eliminate any such excess or as necessary to reflect a reduction in the fee paid by
the Fund to INVESCO AIM pursuant to the Master Agreement.
Section 2. Nature of Payments.
The Parties to this Agreement recognize and agree that INVESCO AIM’s payments hereunder are
for administrative services only and do not constitute payment in any manner for investment
advisory services or for costs of distribution of Contracts or of Portfolio shares, and are not
otherwise related to investment advisory or distribution services or expenses. INSURER represents
and warrants that the fees to be paid by INVESCO AIM for services to be rendered by INSURER
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement are to compensate the INSURER for providing administrative
services to the Fund, and are not designed to reimburse or compensate INSURER for providing
administrative services with respect to the Contracts or any Separate Account.
Section 3. Term and Termination.
Any Party may terminate this Agreement, without penalty, on 60 days written notice to the
other Party. Unless so terminated, this Agreement shall continue in effect for so long as INVESCO
AIM or its successor(s) in interest, or any affiliate thereof, continues to perform in a similar
capacity for the Fund, and for so long as INSURER provides the services contemplated hereunder with
respect to Contracts under which values or monies are allocated to a Portfolio.

Section 4. Amendment.
This Agreement may be amended upon mutual agreement of the Parties in writing.
Section 5. Notices.
All notices, requests, demands and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and
