made effective this 1st day of May 2005 among Pacific
Life Insurance Company, a California corporation (“Investment Adviser”), and Columbia Management
Advisors, Inc. (“Portfolio Manager”), an Oregon corporation, and Pacific Select Fund, a
Massachusetts Business Trust (the “Fund”).
WHEREAS, the Fund is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as an
open-end, management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the
“1940 Act”);
WHEREAS, the Investment Adviser is registered as an investment adviser under the Investment
Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (“Advisers Act”);
WHEREAS, the Portfolio Manager is registered with the SEC as an investment adviser under the
Advisers Act;
WHEREAS, the Fund has retained the Investment Adviser to render investment advisory services
to the various portfolios of the Fund pursuant to an Advisory Agreement, as amended, and such
Agreement authorizes the Investment Adviser to engage a portfolio manager to discharge the
Investment Adviser’s responsibilities with respect to the investment management of such portfolios,
a copy of which has been provided to the Portfolio Manager and is incorporated herein by reference;
WHEREAS, the Fund and the Investment Adviser desire to retain the Portfolio Manager to furnish
investment advisory services to one or more portfolios of the Fund, and the Portfolio Manager is
willing to furnish such services to such portfolios and the Investment Adviser in the manner and on
the terms hereinafter set forth; and
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and mutual covenants herein contained, it is
agreed among the Fund, the Investment Adviser, and the Portfolio Manager as follows:
1. Appointment. The Fund and the Investment Adviser hereby appoint Columbia Management
Advisors, Inc. to act as Portfolio Manager to provide investment advisory services to the portfolio
of the Fund listed on Exhibit A attached hereto (hereinafter the “Portfolio”) for the periods and
on the terms set forth in this Agreement. The Portfolio Manager accepts such appointment and

Investment Adviser shall notify the Portfolio Manager in writing and shall revise Exhibit A to
reflect such additional portfolio(s). If the Portfolio Manager is willing to render such services,
it shall notify the Fund and the Investment Adviser in writing, whereupon such portfolio shall
become a Portfolio hereunder, and be subject to this Agreement.
2. Portfolio Manager Duties.
Subject to the supervision of the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) and the Investment
Adviser, the Portfolio Manager will provide a continuous investment program for the Portfolio and
determine the composition of the assets of the Portfolio. The Portfolio Manager will provide
investment research and analysis, which may include computerized investment methodology, and will
conduct a continuous program of evaluation, investment, sales, and reinvestment of the Portfolio’s
assets by determining the securities, cash and other investments, including futures and options
contracts, if any, that shall be purchased, entered into, retained, sold, closed, or exchanged for
the Portfolio, when these transactions should be executed, and what portion of the assets of the
Portfolio should be held in the various securities and other investments in which it may invest,
and the Portfolio Manager is hereby authorized to execute and perform such services on behalf of
the Portfolio. To the extent permitted by the written investment policies of the Portfolio, the
Portfolio Manager shall make decisions for the Portfolios as to foreign currency matters and make
determinations as to the retention or disposition of foreign currencies or securities or other
instruments denominated in foreign currencies, or derivative instruments based upon foreign
currencies, including forward foreign currency contracts and options and futures on foreign
currencies and shall execute and perform the same on behalf of the Portfolio. The Portfolio
Manager is authorized to and shall exercise tender offers, exchange offers and vote proxies on
behalf of the Portfolio, each as the Portfolio Manager determines is in the best interest of the
Portfolio.
In performing these duties, the Portfolio Manager:
(a) will conform with (1) applicable provisions of the 1940 Act and all rules and regulations
thereunder, and releases and interpretations related thereto (including any no-action letters and
exemptive orders which have been granted by the SEC to the Fund, to the Investment Adviser (as
provided to the Portfolio Manager by the Investment Adviser), or to the Portfolio Manager), (2) all
other applicable federal and state laws and regulations pertaining to investment vehicles
underlying variable annuity and/or variable life insurance contracts, provided that the Investment
Adviser shall seek to provide written notice of any such applicable state laws and regulations to
the extent that it learns or knows of such state laws and regulations, (3) any applicable written
procedures, policies and guidelines adopted by the Board and furnished to the Portfolio Manager,
(4) the Portfolio’s objectives, investment policies and investment restrictions as stated in the
Fund’s Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information as supplemented or amended from time to
time, as furnished to the Portfolio Manager, (5) applicable provisions of the Fund’s Registration
Statement filed on Form N-1A under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “1933 Act”) and the 1940 Act, as
supplemented or amended from time to time (the “Registration Statement”), as furnished to the
Portfolio Manager, (6) Section 851(b)(2) and (3) of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the “Code”), (7) the provisions of Section 817(h) of the Code, applicable to the
Portfolio; and (8) any other applicable laws and regulations, including without limitation,
regulations applying to the voting of proxies.
(b) will (i) use its best efforts to identify each position in the Portfolio that constitutes
stock in a Passive Foreign Investment Company (“PFIC”), as that term is defined in Section 1296 of
the Code, and (ii) make such determinations and inform the Investment Adviser at least annually (or
more often and by such date(s) as the Investment Adviser shall request) of any stock in a PFIC.
2
(c) is responsible, in connection with its responsibilities under this Section 2, for
decisions to buy and sell securities and other investments for the Portfolio, for broker-dealer and
futures commission merchant (“FCM”) selection, and for negotiation of commission rates. The
Portfolio Manager’s primary consideration in effecting a security or other transaction will be to
obtain the best execution for the Portfolios, taking into account the factors specified in the
Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information for the Fund, as they may be amended or
supplemented from time to time and furnished to the Portfolio Manager. Subject to such policies as
the Board may determine and consistent with Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (the “1934 Act”), the Portfolio Manager shall not be deemed to have acted unlawfully or
to have breached any duty created by this Agreement or otherwise solely by reason of its having
caused the Portfolio to pay a broker or dealer, acting as agent, for effecting a portfolio
transaction at a price in excess of the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have
charged for effecting that transaction, if the Portfolio Manager determines in good faith that such
amount of commission was reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services
provided by such broker or dealer, viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the
Portfolio Manager’s (or its affiliates’) overall responsibilities with respect to the Portfolio and
to its other clients as to which it exercises investment discretion. To the extent consistent with
these standards, and in accordance with Section 11(a) of the 1934 Act and Rule 11a2-2(T)
thereunder, and subject to any other applicable laws and regulations including Section 17(e) of the
1940 Act, the Portfolio Manager is further authorized to place orders on behalf of the Portfolios
through the Portfolio Manager if the Portfolio Manager is registered as a broker or dealer with the
SEC or as a FCM with the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”), through any of its
affiliates that are brokers or dealers or FCMs or such other entities which provide similar
services in foreign countries, or through such brokers and dealers that also provide research or
statistical research and material, or other services to the Portfolios or the Portfolio Manager.
Such allocation shall be in such amounts and proportions as the Portfolio Manager shall determine
consistent with the above standards, and, upon request, the Portfolio Manager will report on said
allocation to the Investment Adviser and Board, indicating the brokers, dealers or FCMs to which
such allocations have been made and the basis therefor. The Portfolio Manager is authorized to
open brokerage accounts on behalf of the Portfolios in accordance with Fund procedures. The
Portfolio Manager shall not direct brokerage to any broker-dealer in recognition of, or otherwise
take into account in making brokerage allocation decisions, sales of shares of a Portfolio or of
any other investment vehicle by that broker-dealer in violation of Rule 12b-1(h) of the 1940 Act or
the Portfolio’s or Portfolio Manager’s applicable policies and procedures.
(d) may, on occasions when the purchase or sale of a security is deemed to be in the best
interest of a Portfolio as well as any other investment advisory clients, to the extent permitted
by applicable laws and regulations, but shall not be obligated to, aggregate the securities to be
so sold or purchased with those of its other clients where such aggregation is not inconsistent
with the policies set forth in the Registration Statement as furnished to the Portfolio Manager.
In such event, allocation of the securities so purchased or sold, as well as the expenses incurred
in the transaction, will be made by the Portfolio Manager in a manner that is fair and equitable in
the judgment of the Portfolio Manager in the exercise of its fiduciary obligation to the
Portfolios and to such other clients.
(e) will, in connection with the purchase and sale of securities for the Portfolios, together
with the Investment Adviser, arrange for the transmission to the custodian and recordkeeping agent
for the Fund, on a daily basis, such confirmation(s), trade tickets, and other documents and
information, including, but not limited to, Cusip, Sedol, or other numbers that identify securities
to be purchased or sold on behalf of the Portfolios, as may be reasonably
3
necessary to enable the custodian and recordkeeping agent to perform its administrative and
recordkeeping responsibilities with respect to the Portfolio, and with respect to portfolio
securities to be purchased or sold through the Depository Trust Company, will arrange for the
automatic transmission of the confirmation of such trades to the Fund’s custodian and recordkeeping
agent, and, if required, the Investment Adviser. The Portfolio Manager agrees to comply with such
rules, procedures and time frames as the Fund’s custodian may set or provide with respect to the
clearance and settlement of transactions for the Portfolio. Any Portfolio assets shall be
delivered directly to the Fund’s custodian.
(f) will provide reasonable assistance to the Investment Adviser, custodian or recordkeeping
agent for the Fund in determining or confirming, consistent with the procedures and policies stated
in the Fund’s valuation procedures and/or the Registration Statement, as furnished to the Portfolio
Manager, the value of any portfolio securities or other assets of the Portfolios for which the
Investment Adviser, custodian or recordkeeping agent seeks assistance from the Portfolio Manager or
identifies for review by the Portfolio Manager. This assistance includes (but is not limited to):
(i) designating and providing reasonable access to one or more employees of the Portfolio Manager
who are knowledgeable about the security/issuer, its financial condition, trading and/or other
relevant factors for valuation, which employees shall make all reasonable efforts to be available
for consultation when the Board’s Valuation Committee convenes; (ii) notifying the Investment
Adviser in the event the Portfolio Manager determines, with respect to a security that is held both
by the Portfolio and by another account managed by the Portfolio Manager, of the value of such
security pursuant to the Portfolio Manager’s procedures for determining the fair value of a
security; (iii) obtaining bids and offers or quotes from broker/dealers or market-makers with
respect to securities held by the Portfolios, upon the request of the Investment Adviser or
custodian; (iv) verifying pricing and providing fair valuations or recommendations for fair

time and as furnished to the Portfolio Manager; and (v) maintaining adequate records and written
backup information with respect to the securities valuation services provided hereunder, and
providing such information to the Investment Adviser or the Fund upon request. Such records shall
be deemed Fund records.
(g) will maintain and preserve such records related to the Portfolio’s transactions as
required of the Portfolio Manager under the 1940 Act and the Advisers Act. The Portfolio Manager
will make available to the Fund and the Investment Adviser promptly upon written request, any of
the Portfolios’ investment records and ledgers maintained by the Portfolio Manager (which shall not
include the records and ledgers maintained by the custodian and recordkeeping agent for the Fund),
as are necessary to assist the Fund and the Investment Adviser in complying with the requirements
of the 1940 Act and the Advisers Act, as well as other applicable laws, and will furnish to
regulatory authorities having the requisite authority any information or reports in connection with
such services which may be requested in order to ascertain whether the operations of the Fund are
being conducted in a manner consistent with applicable laws and regulations.
(h) will regularly report to the Board upon the Board’s request on the investment program for
the Portfolios and the issuers and securities represented in the Portfolios, and will furnish the

transactions and performance of each Portfolio, a monthly compliance checklist, monthly tax

Manager has complied with the requirements of Rule 17j-1 during the previous calendar quarter and
that there have been no violations of the Code of Ethics that are material to the Investment
Adviser and the Fund or, if such a violation has occurred, that appropriate action, in the judgment
of the Portfolio Manger, has been taken in response to such violation. Upon written request of the
Investment Adviser or the Fund, the Portfolio Manager shall permit representatives of the
