receipt of such notice (or as promptly as practicable thereafter), retain an Approved Firm-A to review the Insurer's Projected RBC Ratio calculation and ensure that such calculation was prepared in good faith, consistent in all material respects with past practices of the Insurer, and without giving effect to the RBC Ratio impact of any of the RBC Actions.
(b) If the Company either (1) provides notice to the Insurer and the Independent Fiduciary pursuant to Section 6.5(e), or (2) provides a notice of termination to the Insurer and the Independent Fiduciary pursuant to Section 10.1(b)(i) or asserts that the closing condition set forth in Section 8.2(h) has not been satisfied, then, in either case, the Insurer may, not more than ten (10) Business Days after receiving such notice (or as promptly as practicable thereafter), retain an Approved Firm-B to review and verify the Company's calculation of the Liquidity Requirement or the Projected Parent Liquidity Position (or, if applicable, both calculations) and ensure that each such calculation was prepared in good faith, consistent in all material respects with past practices of the Company, and without giving effect to the liquidity impact of any of the Liquidity Actions.
(c) The Party requesting a review of calculations under Section 6.6(a) or Section 6.6(b), as the case may be, (the “Requesting Party”) shall instruct the respective Approved Firm to deliver its report to all Parties within ten (10) Business Days after the date of its retention. The Party whose calculation is being reviewed pursuant to Section 6.6(a) or Section 6.6(b), as applicable (the “Calculating Party”), shall fully cooperate with the Approved Firm, including providing access to all information, data and personnel necessary for the Approved Firm to complete and deliver its analysis within the ten (10) Business Day period described in the preceding sentence. Any failure by the Calculating Party to provide such access or cooperation will extend the delivery period until such access or cooperation is provided. If the Parties do not agree, in writing, on the calculation of the (i) Projected RBC Ratio pursuant to Section 6.6(a) or (ii) Projected Parent Liquidity Position or Liquidity Requirement pursuant to Section 6.6(b), then the determination by the Approved Firm shall be final and binding on all Parties.
(d) If, pursuant to a review arising under Section 6.6(a), the Approved Firm-A determines that the Insurer's Projected RBC Ratio calculation was not prepared in good faith, consistent in all material respects with past practices of the Insurer, [ *** ], and the Insurer or the Insurer Parent delivers the notice of termination described in Section 10.1(b)(ii) based upon such Projected RBC Ratio, then upon termination of this Agreement and in addition to the payment to the Company from the Escrow Account contemplated by Section 10.2(b)(i) and the payment to the Company from the Insurer contemplated by Section [ *** ].
(e) If, pursuant to a review arising under Section 6.6(b), the Approved Firm-B determines that the Company's calculation of the Liquidity Requirement or the Projected Parent Liquidity Position (or, if applicable, both calculations) was not prepared in good faith, consistent in all material respects with past practices of the Company, and without giving effect to the liquidity impact of any of the Liquidity Actions, and the Company delivers the notice of termination described in Section 10.1(b)(i) or asserts that the closing condition set forth in Section 8.2(h) has not been satisfied based upon such Liquidity Requirement or Projected Parent Liquidity Position, then upon termination of this Agreement and in addition to the payment to the Insurer Parent from the Escrow Account contemplated by Section 10.2(b), an additional payment from the Company of [ *** ] shall be immediately due and payable to the Insurer Parent, [ *** ].
Section 6.7 Administrative Transition Process. From the DTFA Execution Date until the Closing Date, each of the Company and the Insurer shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary to coordinate the transfer to the Insurer of the recordkeeping and administration responsibilities necessary to effectively provide the
50

administration services regarding the Annuity Payments under the Group Annuity Contract. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (a) provide the Insurer with information as reasonably requested by the Insurer to facilitate the transition process and (b) assist the Insurer in reaching any necessary agreement or arrangement with Fidelity, including in connection with (i) the provision of services and information set forth in Appendix 6.7 and (ii) the negotiation of a definitive ATSA. The Insurer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to enter into such a definitive ATSA with Fidelity in a manner consistent with the letter of understanding with Fidelity entered into prior to the execution of this Agreement. If either (x) the requirements of Appendix 6.7 have not been fulfilled or (y) the Closing has not taken place on or before December 3, 2012, and the Insurer is unable to enter into a definitive ATSA with Fidelity, then the Insurer and the Company will cooperate in good faith to find an alternative method to facilitate the first Annuity Payment to Annuitants through existing commercial arrangements with Fidelity or through any other commercially reasonable method (an “Alternative Arrangement”). In the event an Alternative Arrangement is implemented, prior to the relevant payment date, the Insurer will be responsible to deposit cash in an amount sufficient to cover all such Annuity Payments and any related administrative costs into an account designated by the Company for such purpose.
Section 6.8 Compliance with Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 84-24. From the DTFA Execution Date until the Closing Date, the Insurer and its Affiliates will not enter into any agreements whereby it would be a fiduciary expressly authorized in writing to manage, acquire or dispose of the Plan Assets on a discretionary basis that are involved in the Transaction. As of the date hereof, Insurer and/or the applicable Affiliate(s) of the Insurer have ceased providing any discretionary asset management services with respect to any Plan Assets that are involved in the Transaction. If the Insurer discovers the existence of any such agreement, the Insurer will, and will cause its Affiliates to, cease providing any discretionary asset management services with respect to any Plan Asset before such Plan Asset becomes involved in the Transaction. The preceding sentence shall not prohibit an Affiliate of the Insurer from acting as a non-discretionary trustee. If the Closing Date does not occur or this Agreement otherwise terminates, the Insurer will no longer be restricted as provided above in this Section 6.8.
Section 6.9 Pre-Closing Meeting. No earlier than fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the Target Closing Date, and no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Target Closing Date, the Independent Fiduciary, the Company and the Insurer shall meet to discuss any matters relating to the Closing or as otherwise may be reasonably requested by any Party.

For purposes of this Agreement, an “Alternative Transaction Proposal” means any proposal or offer relating to the entry into an insurance, reinsurance or other similar transaction that would be reasonably likely to replace, frustrate or cause not to occur the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Group Annuity Contract, such as any transaction in which the responsibility to make all or any substantial portion of the payments in respect of the Covered Lives, Contingent Lives or Beneficiaries would be transferred, assigned or novated from the Plan to a non-Affiliated Person or in which a non-Affiliated Person would assume an obligation to indemnify or reimburse the Plan, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates for any such payment. Nothing in this Section 6.10 shall
51

restrict (i) any alternative arrangements with respect to the treatment of Contract 300 Article A and Contract 300 Article M, or (ii) the Lump-Sum Solicitation process.
Section 6.11 Information Provided To The Independent Fiduciary. Between the DTFA Execution Date and the execution of the Group Annuity Contract, Insurer and the Insurer Parent shall provide to the Independent Fiduciary any information that (i) is consistent with the type and amount of information provided during the Independent Fiduciary's pre-signing due diligence process, (ii) is otherwise prepared in the ordinary course of business of the Insurer (including any information that is prepared for the purpose of providing information to credit rating agencies) and (iii) relates to the Insurer or Insurer Parent, in each case as may be reasonably requested by the Independent Fiduciary.

56

the indemnifiable Losses to be greater than such Losses would have been had the Indemnified Party given the Insurer prompt notice hereunder.
(b) The Insurer shall have the right at any time to assume the defense against any Third Party Claim with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and control the defense of such Third Party Claim, so long as the Insurer accepts without reservation (but without waiver of any rights under Section 9.2(c)) responsibility to indemnify the Indemnified Party for such Third Party Claim.
(c) From and after the date that the Insurer has assumed and is conducting the defense of a Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 9.2(b), (i) the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in, but not control, the defense of such Third Party Claim; (ii) the Indemnified Party may retain counsel at its sole cost and expense to control the defense of any portion of the action, lawsuit, proceeding, investigation, demand or other claim against the Indemnified Party that is not a Third Party Claim (the “Uncovered Claim”); (iii) the Insurer and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate fully with each other and any of their respective counsel in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any such Third Party Claim or (if the Indemnified Party retains counsel for the Uncovered Claim) the Uncovered Claim, including providing access to any relevant books and records, properties, employees and Representatives; provided that, for avoidance of doubt, the foregoing will not require any Person to waive, or take any action which has the affect of waiving, its attorney-client privilege, attorney work-product, or any other applicable privilege with respect thereto; (iv) the Insurer shall not consent to the entry of any judgment on or enter into any settlement with respect to such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) unless the judgment or proposed settlement involves only the payment of money damages by the Insurer and does not impose an injunction or other equitable relief upon the Indemnified Party or admit liability on the part of any Indemnified Party; (v) the Indemnified Party shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Insurer (which will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); and (vi) the Indemnified Party may consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Uncovered Claim without the prior consent of Insurer.

(G)The terms “RBC Actions” and “Liquidity Actions”, shall, following December 31, 2012, be eliminated from this Agreement and shall not be given effect for any purposes hereunder or under the Ancillary Documents and the Company and the Insurer shall, in connection with the negotiation of the amendments to this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements contemplated by Section 10.2(d)(ii), negotiate in good faith revised definitions of “RBC Actions” and “Liquidity Actions” with such updates and revisions as the Company and the Insurer may mutually agree upon.

Any Party may change the address to which notices, requests, demands, claims and other communications hereunder are to be delivered by giving the other Parties notice in the manner set forth in this Section 11.5.
Section 11.6 Governing Law. Except to the extent preempted by applicable Federal Law, this Agreement will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of New York, without regard to any principles of conflicts of law thereof that are not mandatorily applicable by Law and would permit or require the application of the Laws of another jurisdiction.
Section 11.7 Submission to Jurisdiction; Service of Process.
(a)Subject to Sections 2.12 and 6.6, each of the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the jurisdiction of any state or federal court, and only federal court if diversity of Parties exists, sitting in New York County, New York in any Dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any Ancillary
63

Agreement and agrees that all claims in respect of such Action may be heard and determined in any such court. Each Party also agrees not to bring any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement in any other court. Each of the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to personal jurisdiction, venue, and any defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of, any Action so brought and waives any bond, surety or other security that might be required of any other Party with respect thereto. Any Party may make service on any other Party by sending or delivering a copy of the process to the Party to be served at the address and in the manner provided for the giving of notices in Section 11.5; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 11.7 will affect the right of any Party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by Law or in equity.
(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Parties acknowledge and agree that in the course of any Action including any dispute resolution process pursuant to Section 2.12 or 6.6, if the Insurer or the Independent Third Party produces or otherwise disclose the Life-By-Life Information, or information from which Life-By-Life Information may be derived, to the Company, the Independent Fiduciary or their respective Affiliates or Representatives, the Company and the Independent Fiduciary shall consent to the filing of, and the Parties shall use their all reasonable efforts to move for and urge the court to adopt, a protective order implementing terms reasonably satisfactory to the Insurer to limit the disclosure of such Insurer Provided Life-by-Life Information and ensure the strictly confidential treatment thereof, including requiring such Insurer Provided Life-by-Life Information to be submitted under seal and for the return and destruction of such Insurer Provided Life-by-Life Information or copies thereof following the conclusion of any such Action, provided, that in no case will the Company be required to take any steps that would compromise the ability of the Company to prosecute or defend the Action or otherwise prejudice the Company's position (including any restrictions on the ability of Company experts to review, access and analyze any materials that the Company determines are relevant to such prosecution or defense); provided, further, that the Company and the Independent Fiduciary agree that it will not be considered unreasonable for the Insurer to seek a protective order that prevents disclosure of such information in such a way that it would be reasonably likely to become available to competitors of the Insurer or other third parties not involved in any such Action.
Section 11.8 Waivers of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY ACTION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE ANCILLARY AGREEMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING THE STANDARD TERMINATION AND THE LUMP-SUM SOLICITATION.
Section 11.9 Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur if any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached.

64

under this Agreement that may be available then or thereafter.
Section 11.10 Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provisions of this Agreement. If any of the provisions of this Agreement are be held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, such provisions will be limited or eliminated only to the minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement will otherwise remain in full force and effect. If any of the material provisions of this Agreement are held illegal, invalid or unenforceable, this entire Agreement shall be null and void; provided that the Parties shall seek to reform any such provisions to the greatest extent practicable to restore the original meaning, intent and application of such provisions and shall restore this Agreement to the extent they are able to replicate its terms and conditions in all material respects.
Section 11.11 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except to the extent otherwise provided in Section 9.1 with respect to Indemnified Parties, this Agreement will not confer any rights or remedies upon any Person other than the Parties and the respective successors and permitted assigns of the foregoing.

(b) Exclusive Remedy. The Parties acknowledge that, except in the case of fraud or deliberate and intentional misrepresentations, after the Closing the sole and exclusive remedy of the Parties to address any Arbitration Dispute, shall be as set forth in Sections 2.10, 2.12, 2.13, 2.19, 2.21 and 2.23.
Section 11.14 Confidentiality; Intellectual Property.
(a) It is understood that each Party has received and will receive Confidential Information from the other Parties in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements as well as in previous discussions and interactions involving the matters addressed by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements. Except as set forth herein (including except as expressly permitted or contemplated by the other provisions of this Agreement), the Parties shall not use the Confidential Information of another disclosing Party except in connection with the performance of their respective obligations under this Agreement and shall not disclose (and shall cause their respective Representatives, Affiliates, and Affiliates' Representatives not to disclose) any Confidential Information received from another Party, the Independent Third Party or an Approved Firm, except to such receiving Party's Representatives, Affiliates, and Affiliates' Representatives, who have a need to know and have agreed to maintain the confidentiality of Confidential Information in accordance with this Section 11.14; the disclosing Party is and shall be an express third party beneficiary of such agreement by such receiving Party's Representatives, Affiliates, and Affiliates' Representatives.
(b) Section 11.14(a) shall not apply with respect to Confidential Information that the receiving
65

Party can demonstrate is or was:
(i)already known to such Party or its Affiliates prior to the confidential disclosure by the disclosing Party, the Independent Third Party or an Approved Firm;
(ii)independently developed by the receiving Party or its Affiliates not in violation or breach of this Agreement or any other confidentiality obligation to the disclosing Party (such as the Confidentiality Agreements or any retention agreement with a firm or professional in connection with this Agreement);
(iii)already known to the public without breach of confidence by such Party or any of its Affiliates;
(iv)received by the receiving Party from a third party without restrictions on its use in favor of the disclosing Party, whether by law or contract; or
(v)subject to prior compliance with Section 11.14(c), required to be disclosed pursuant to any applicable Law, stock exchange regulation, regulatory provision, court order, subpoena or other legal process.
(c) Section 11.14(a) shall not apply from and after the Closing to restrict the use or disclosure by the Insurer of any Confidential Information related to Priced Lives, Annuity Payments, or the pricing or underwriting of the Group Annuity Contract, received from another disclosing Party, provided, that the Insurer shall use such Confidential Information only in compliance with all applicable Laws relating to privacy of personally identifying information. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 11.14(c) does not apply to Confidential Information regarding the Company or the Plan (other than to the extent required in connection with the Group Annuity Contract).
(d) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, if any Party, its Representatives, its Affiliates or its Affiliates' Representatives, receives a request, subpoena, demand, or order for disclosure or become required by Law or stock exchange rule or regulation to disclose any Confidential Information (a “Compelled Disclosing Party”), such Compelled Disclosing Party shall promptly, and in no case more than five (5) Business Days following receipt of such a request, subpoena, demand, or order (so long as it is legally permitted to provide such notification), notify the other Parties to afford them the opportunity to object or seek a protective order or other remedy, including a protective order requiring Confidential Information to be submitted under seal and for the return and destruction of Confidential Information or copies thereof following the conclusion of any Action, prior to the disclosure of any such Confidential Information. The Compelled Disclosing Party shall, to the extent permitted by Law, cooperate with the other Party's or Parties' efforts to obtain such protective order, at such other Party's or Parties' cost and expense. In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not sought or obtained, only that portion of Confidential Information which the Compelled Disclosing Party in good faith believes is legally required to be provided may be disclosed and such Compelled Disclosing Party shall request that appropriate confidential treatment will be accorded to such Confidential Information.
(e) Each engagement letter between any of the Parties on the one hand and the Independent Third Party, each Approved Firm or each other professional engaged in connection with this Agreement, on the other, shall include undertakings by such professional to maintain the confidentiality of Confidential Information in accordance with this Section 11.14 and to clearly mark any reports or other work product prepared in connection with such engagement as confidential and not subject to disclosure except as permitted
66

by this Section 11.14.
(f) The Parties acknowledge and agree that this Section 11.14 shall supersede the Confidentiality Agreements.
(g) Insurer is, and the other Parties acknowledge that Insurer is, the sole owner of all spreadsheets and formulas, including the methodologies in the CMA Adjustment tab, [ *** ] Adjustment tab, PFS Adjustment tab and SCA Adjustment tab on the spreadsheets and manuals (including the Procedures Manual) on the Identified CD-ROM, and that all such materials constitute Insurer's valuable and proprietary know how. The foregoing remains true even with respect to any such materials or know how incorporated or reproduced in the work product of the Independent Third Party, the Approved Firms or any arbitrator or staff thereof or any other professional engaged in connection with this Agreement. Insurer grants the Independent Fiduciary, the Company and, pursuant to the applicable engagement letter and subject to this Section 11.14 only, the Independent Third Party, the Approved Firms or any arbitrator or staff thereof or any other professional engaged in connection with this Agreement, the limited right to use such materials solely in connection with the transactions and proceedings contemplated by this Agreement. No party having use thereof shall have any rights in connection therein except as specifically granted by the foregoing sentence.

To the fullest extent permitted by Law, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, none of the Parties shall be liable to any other Party for any punitive or exemplary damages of any nature in respect of matters arising out of this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, whether arising out of breach of contract, negligence, tort, strict liability or any other legal or equitable principle.

1.1 Definitions
In addition to other capitalized terms defined in this Contract, the following capitalized terms shall have the meanings indicated:
"Additional General Account Reserve" has the meaning assigned in Section 1.7.
“Adjusted Contribution Amount” means the net amount specified as such on the Cover Page of this Contract, payable on the Effective Date or on an Amendment Date specified on the related Cover Page.
“Aggregate Monthly Payment” means, for each month, the aggregate amount of Annuity Payments payable in respect of all Covered Lives (and, if applicable, Contingent Lives and Beneficiaries) for such month.
“Amendment Date” means the date shown on the Cover Page, and which is other than the Effective Date.
“Annuity Commencement Date” means the date the Annuity Payments commence, which shall be [MM DD, YYYY]E[specified on the Annuity Exhibits]E.
“Annuity Exhibits” means the Annuity Exhibits attached hereto setting forth the features of the Annuity Payments for each Covered Life and Contingent Life.
“Annuity Forms” means the types of annuities (and payment obligations arising thereunder) specified in Provision II.
“Annuity Payments” means, with respect to each Covered Life (and, if applicable to such Covered Life, each Contingent Life), the amount of periodic and single payments determined in accordance with Provision II of this Contract, and, with respect to any Beneficiary, the amount of any periodic and single payments owed after the death of a Covered Life or, if applicable, a Contingent Life, in each case as determined in accordance with Provision II of this Contract.
“Beneficiary” means,

(A) | during the lifetime of a Covered Life, the person shown in Prudential's records as having been designated by the Covered Life to receive (after the death of such Covered Life) any payment owing under Provision II of this Contract other than payments owed to the related Contingent Life (such related Contingent Life is not a “Beneficiary” as such term is used in this Contract); and

(B) | during the period after the death of the Covered Life and before the death of the Contingent Life, the person shown in Prudential's records as having been designated by the Contingent Life (or, in the absence of such designation, the person previously designated by the Covered Life) to receive, after the death of such Contingent Life, any payment owing under Provision II of this Contract. A Beneficiary is owed payments under this Contract after the death of a Covered Life or Contingent Life only if so provided for under the Annuity Form applicable to the Covered Life.

Until the death of the Covered Life (and, if the Annuity Form specifies a Contingent Life, until the
2

death of both the Covered Life and Contingent Life) a Beneficiary is not a third-party beneficiary of this Contract and has no rights hereunder, and after such death(s) a Beneficiary has the rights of a third-party beneficiary as set forth herein. A Representative of a Beneficiary shall have the rights of a Beneficiary hereunder.
"Business Day" means any weekday on which the banks in New York City, New York are open for business. If any payment under this Contract is due and payable on a day which is not a Business Day, or if any notice or report is required to be given on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be due and payable or such notice or report shall be given on the next succeeding Business Day
“Code” means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time, or any successor statute.
“Commingled Account” means the Portfolio Protected Buyout Separate Account, an insurance company separate account the assets of which are owned by Prudential. The assets of this separate account will be held by Prudential in one or more custody accounts at entities independent of Prudential that only hold assets allocated to this separate account. Following consummation of a small account conversion in accordance with Section 1.10 (“Small Account Conversion”), this commingled separate account shall hold assets supporting the payment obligations of Prudential under this Contract. Such separate account also supports Prudential's payment obligations under other group annuity contracts issued by Prudential.

Single Life Annuity: If you elect this Annuity Form, the pre-62+1 Pension Amount payable to you will equal the sum of two numbers. The first number equals your Disability Age 55 Pre-62+1 Pension Amount (as specified in the Annuity Exhibits). The second number equals your Disability Temporary Annuity (if specified on the Annuity Exhibits) where there has been a denial of Social Security Disability benefits. Your post-62+1 Pension Amount will equal your Disability Age 55 Post 62+1 Pension Amount (as specified in the Annuity Exhibits).
Spousal Joint and Survivor Life Annuity: If at the time of your disability, you were married and elected a Contingent Joint and Survivor Life Annuity you are not eligible to make this election at age 55. If you elect this Annuity Form, your pre-62+1 Pension Amount will equal the product obtained by multiplying two numbers and then adding a third number. The first number is your Disability Age 55 Pre-62+1 Pension Amount (as specified in the Annuity Exhibits). The second number is your Spousal Joint and Survivor Life Annuity Pop-Up Decrease Factor. The third number is any Disability Temporary Annuity specified for you on the Annuity Exhibits where there has been a denial of Social Security Disability benefits. Your post-62+1 Pension Amount will equal the product obtained by multiplying two numbers. The first number is your Disability Age 55 Post 62+1 Pension Amount. The second number is your Spousal Joint and Survivor Life Annuity Pop-Up Decrease Factor.
The amount we will pay your spousal Contingent Life will equal the result of multiplying two numbers. The first number is the Covered Life Amount payable to you pursuant to the foregoing paragraph. The second number is a percentage. The applicable percentage is based on the corresponding Original Retirement Date specified for such Covered Life in the Annuity Exhibits or in our records.: (1) 65% for a Original Retirement Date on/after October 1, 1999, (2) 60 % for a Original Retirement Date on/after November 1, 1976 and prior to October 1, 1999 (3) 55% for a Original Retirement Date on/after September 1, 1964 and prior to November 1, 1976 and (4) 50 % for a Original Retirement Date prior to September 1, 1964.

Spousal Joint and Survivor Life Annuity

10

The option allows you to convert your Annuity Form into a Single Life Annuity Form. Before your option exercise can become effective, you must meet the applicable Conversion Conditions. You must also notify us using a form provided by us.
Once you exercise your option, we will not owe any money to your Contingent Life after you die.
Instead, we will increase the Covered Life Amount payable to you. If the Annuity Form is a Spousal Joint and Survivor Life Annuity form of payment, the amount of the increase will equal the Pop-Up Amount in the Annuity Exhibit. If the Annuity Form is a Contingent Joint and Survivor Life Annuity, the amount of the increase will equal the result of multiplying two numbers. The first number is the Part A Basic Amount specified for you in the Annuity Exhibit. The second number is the Contingent Joint and Survivor Life Annuity Pop-Up Increase Factor. We will start paying the increased amount on the first day of the month after the exercise of your option becomes effective.
(iii) “Post-Retirement Marriage Conversion Option” means, if a Covered Life is specified in the Annuity Exhibits as having a “Post-Retirement Marriage” Conversion Option and also as receiving a distribution of the following Annuity Form:
Single Life Annuity
then such option is available to the Covered Life (“you” or “your”).
The option allows you to convert a portion of your monthly payment under a Single Life Annuity into a Spousal Joint and Survivor Annuity Form. Before your option exercise can become effective, you must meet the applicable Conversion Conditions. Also, you must notify us using a form provided by us. The effective date of the conversion is the first day of the month after the conversion is effective, but not sooner than the one-year anniversary of your marriage or re-marriage, and in any event before the 18-month anniversary of the marriage or re-marriage.
Only Part A Basic Amount (as specified in the Annuity Exhibits) may be converted. On the effective date of the conversion, we will reduce the Covered Life Amount. The amount of the reduction will equal the result of multiplying two numbers. The first number is the Part A Basic Amount specified for you in the Annuity Exhibit. The second number is the Spousal Joint & Survivor Life Annuity Pop-Up Decrease Factor.
After the effective date of the conversion, and after you die, we will owe your spouse additional monthly payments. To receive such payments, your spouse must be alive when you die. We will pay the first payment on the first day of the month following your death. We will pay the last payment on the first day of the month in which such spouse dies.
The amount we will pay such spouse will equal the result of multiplying two numbers. The first number is the Covered Life Amount payable to you, as reduced pursuant to the preceding paragraph. The second number is a percentage. The applicable percentage is based on the corresponding Original Retirement Date specified for such Covered Life in the Annuity Exhibits or in our records: (1) 65% for a Original Retirement Date on/after October 1, 1999, (2) 60 % for a Original Retirement Date on/after November 1, 1976 and prior to October 1, 1999 (3) 55% for a Original Retirement Date on/after September 1, 1964 and prior to November 1, 1976 and (4) 50 % for a Original Retirement Date prior to September 1, 1964.

For a Contingent Joint and Survivor Life Annuity, the following amounts, names, or values are also specified in the Annuity Exhibits:
“Covered Life Amount” equals an amount that depends on whether you are younger or older than sixty-two years and one month (“62 + 1”).
If you are younger than 62+1, the Covered Life Amount equals the “Pre-62+1 Pension Amount” specified in the Annuity Exhibit for such Covered Life.
If you are older than 62+1, the Covered Life Amount equals the “Post-62+1 Pension Amount” amount specified in the Annuity Exhibit for such Covered Life.

The amount of the increase will be the amount specified as the “Special Benefit” in the Annuity Exhibits. During your lifetime, your Contingent Life will not receive the benefits of any Special Benefit Rider that he or she may have. Such benefits start after your death.
If you have a Level Benefit Rider (as specified in the Annuity Exhibits), then the “Covered Life Amount” will be increased by Three Hundred Dollars ($300.000) after your sixty-fifth (65 th) birthday. The increase will start on first day of the month after your 65 th birthday. If your 65 th birthday falls on the first day of a month, the increase will start on that day. During your lifetime, we do not owe your Contingent Life any benefits under the Level Benefit Rider. If your Contingent Life has a Level Benefit rider, we only owe the related payments after you die.
If a portion of your Pre 62+1 Covered Life Amount is attributable to “Disability Temporary Benefits” as specified in the Annuity Exhibits, then the following applies.

We will pay subsequent monthly on the first day of each month. The total number of monthly payments will equal the Guaranteed Number of Payments specified for you in the Annuity Exhibits. Once such Guaranteed Number of Payments has been paid, no further payments are due.
If you die after the Annuity Commencement Date, we will determine the number of monthly payments we made to you after the Annuity Commencement Date. If the number payment made is less than such Guaranteed Number of Payments, then we will pay the Covered Life Amount to the designated Beneficiary for your Annuity Form. These payments to such Beneficiary will stop when the total number of payments to you, plus the number of payments to the Beneficiary, equals the Guaranteed Number of Payments.

Any attempt to enter into any transaction described in clauses (i) through (iii) shall be void at the outset of such attempt. Also, to the maximum extent permitted by law, no Annuity Payment is subject to the claims of a creditor. For the avoidance of doubt, compliance with the terms of a domestic relations order meeting the requirement of this Provision II will not be considered to be an impermissible transaction or claim hereunder.
2.5 Proof of Continued Existence; Escheatment of Unpaid Amounts
As a condition to making any Annuity Payment arising from an Annuity Form dependent upon the continued existence of a Covered Life or Contingent Life (or Beneficiary), Prudential may require the receipt of evidence satisfactory to it that such person is alive and no such payment is owed under this Contract unless and until Prudential receives such evidence.
Prudential may pay a Representative of a Covered Life, Contingent Life or Beneficiary amounts otherwise owing to such Covered Life, Contingent Life or Beneficiary upon submission of evidence satisfactory to Prudential of the authority of such Representative.
After the period of time prescribed by applicable state law, any payments under a period certain annuity form or lump sum payment owed by Prudential which has not been claimed by a Covered Life, Contingent Life or Beneficiary (or such person's Representative) may be considered abandoned or escheatable property. In such case, Prudential will follow the laws applicable to the disposition of any such payment obligations. Any payments made to the state under such circumstances will relieve Prudential of all further obligations under this Contract with respect to such amounts.
2.6 Misstatements
With respect to Annuity Payments owed by Prudential, the parties shall endeavor between the Effective Date and the Expected Data Finalization Date to agree to an equitable adjustment of the Total Contribution Amount caused by misstatements of the age, sex, applicable Annuity Form, benefit amount or any other fact relevant to determining the amount of Annuity Payment owed to a Covered Life, Contingent Life (or, if applicable, Beneficiary) (as used in this Section, a “data misstatement”).
After the Expected Data Finalization Date, if the Annuity Exhibits (as updated through the Expected Data Finalization Date to reflect data reviews conducted between the Effective Date and the Expected Data Finalization Date) contain a data misstatement with respect to the date of birth, date of death, or sex of any
21

Covered Life or Contingent Life (and of any Beneficiary, if applicable),

(I) | then Prudential will not have the right to reduce any Annuity Payment below the Annuity Payment calculated using the information concerning date of birth, date of death and sex contained in such updated Annuity Exhibits; and

(II) | then Prudential will not have the obligation to increase any Annuity Payment above the Annuity Payment calculated using the information concerning date of birth, date of death and sex contained in such updated Annuity Exhibits.

Notwithstanding the above, after the Annuity Commencement Date, determinations by Prudential under Provision II in connection with each of the following will reflect any corrections of date of birth or date of death of any Covered Life or Contingent Life (and of any Beneficiary, if applicable), provided to and verified by Prudential after the Annuity Commencement Date: (1) a conversion from one Annuity Form to another Annuity Form, (2) an increase in the Covered Life Amount based on the attainment of a certain age and (3) a decrease in the Covered Life Amount based on the attainment of a certain age.
After the Expected Data Finalization Date, if the Annuity Exhibits (as updated through the Expected Data Finalization Date to reflect data reviews conducted between the Effective Date and the Expected Data Finalization Date) contain any data misstatement not relating to the date of birth, date of death, or sex of any Covered Life or Contingent Life (and of any Beneficiary, if applicable), then Prudential will adjust the Annuity Payment using the following process:

(a) | Prudential will determine the portion of the Total Contribution Amount allocated to such Covered Life, Contingent Life and/or Beneficiary. The Annuity Payment owed by Prudential in respect of such person(s) will be increased or decreased to equal the amount that could have been purchased for such person(s) using the premium paid for such person(s), assuming that such misstatement had not occurred. Also, Prudential will not change the date of the first monthly payment.

(i) | If the corrected Annuity Payment is less than the Annuity Payment calculated using the misstated information, then the Annuity Payment will be decreased to the amount calculated pursuant to subsection (a). Prudential may reduce future Annuity Payments further by amounts previously overpaid by Prudential to such person(s).

(ii) | If the corrected Annuity Payment is more than the Annuity Payment calculated using the misstated information, then the Annuity Payment will be increased to the amount calculated pursuant to subsection (a). Prudential will further pay the amount of the underpayments by Prudential in one of the next two Annuity Payments due with respect to such person.

(b) | In addition to changing the amount of Annuity Payments, the adjustments made pursuant to this Section may change other important terms of payment. For example, the Annuity Form for such person may change. The percentage of a Covered Life's Annuity Payment that is payable to a Contingent Life may change. Whether there is any Contingent Life entitled to receive an Annuity Payment may change. All adjustments made pursuant to this Section will be binding upon any person affected thereby.

2.7 Concerning Beneficiaries and Contingent Annuitants
A Covered Life (or, following the death of a Covered Life, a Contingent Life) may designate and re-designate a Beneficiary from time to time in such manner that is specified by Prudential and that is in accordance with such related Annuity Form. If there is no designated Beneficiary shown in Prudential's records when a payment is payable to a Beneficiary under the terms of this Contract, payment will be made to a Representative.
22

If and to the extent provided in this Provision II, but subject to the conditions specified in this Provision II, a Covered Life may designate and re-designate another person as his or her Contingent Life without the consent of such Contingent Life.
The parties agree with each other that the acceptability of such designations and re-designations of Beneficiaries and Contingent Lives will meet the requirements of ERISA as applied to employee benefit plan participants in effect from time to time, and shall keep their records accordingly. Such designations or re-designations shall become effective, with respect to the designation of a Contingent Life, as provided in Sections 2.2 (“Definitions”) and Section 2.3 (“Annuity Forms”). Such designations or re-designations shall become effective, with respect to the designation of a Beneficiary, on the date when the Change in Beneficiary Form is signed by the Covered Life or Contingent Life; provided that no such Change in Beneficiary Form shall be effective with respect to any action taken by Prudential prior to the receipt of such form at Prudential's Office.
Prudential, in determining the existence, identity, ages, or any other facts relating to any relatives of any Covered Life (or Contingent Life) or any persons designated as Beneficiaries, either as a class or otherwise, may rely solely on any affidavit or other evidence deemed satisfactory by it.
During the period when it is maintaining such records, Prudential will furnish an acknowledgment to the Covered Life or Contingent Life of the acceptance of any such designation or re-designation.
Any payment made by Prudential in reliance thereon will, to the extent of such payment, be a valid discharge of its obligation under this Contract.
2.8 Concerning Domestic Relations Orders
If after the Annuity Commencement Date an Annuity Payment is subject to a domestic relations order, no adjustments or payments to a Covered Life, Contingent Life or to any other alternate payee will become payable until (i) Prudential has so received any such domestic relations order, (ii) Prudential has so approved the domestic relations order, and (iii) Prudential has received a copy of the domestic relations order after it has been qualified or Prudential has so qualified the domestic relations order. Any such Annuity Payment adjustment will take effect when entered upon Prudential's records. The parties agree with each other that acceptable domestic relations orders shall meet the requirements of ERISA as applied to employee benefit plan participants in effect from time to time, and shall keep their records accordingly.
2.9 Substitute Payee
Prudential may discharge its obligation to a Covered Life, Contingent Life or Beneficiary hereunder by making payments to such person's Representative.
2.10 Certificates
Upon receipt of applicable regulatory approvals, Prudential will issue an annuity certificate with respect to each Covered Life (and, if receiving Annuity Payments on the date of issuance of annuity certificates, Contingent Life and Beneficiary). Each such certificate will set forth in substance the payments to which such Covered Life, Contingent Life and Beneficiary is entitled under this Contract. Also, Prudential may issue a substitute annuity certificate to correct errors contained in the previously issued certificate, whereupon the erroneously issued annuity certificate shall be null and void.
Each such certificate shall provide that only the Covered Live (and, as applicable, a Contingent Life and Beneficiary) has the right to Annuity Payments under this Contract, and that such right to Annuity Payments is enforceable by the certificate-holder solely against Prudential and against no other person including the Plan, Plan sponsor, Contract-Holder or any affiliate thereof. Each certificate shall describe the consequences of any data misstatements, including Prudential's rights and obligations relating to such
23

data misstatements.
2.11 Reliance on Records; Correction of Errors
Until the Expected Data Finalization Date, Prudential will receive from the Plan or its agent the information which Prudential may reasonably require for the administration of this Contract. If Prudential does not receive all such information, Prudential will seek such information from the relevant Covered Life, Contingent Life or Beneficiary. Prudential may hold Annuity Payments if it lacks the information necessary to process such Annuity Payment or if processing such payment is contrary to applicable law.
Prudential will maintain the records necessary for its administration of this Contract. Such records will be prepared using the information furnished to it pursuant to this Contract and will constitute prima facie evidence as to the truth of the information recorded thereon. However, Prudential reserves the right to correct its records to eliminate erroneous information furnished to it and to reflect information it gathers reasonably believed by it to be reliable. Prudential may assume the accuracy of the records kept by or on behalf of the Plan in connection with Covered Lives, Contingent Lives and Beneficiaries. Any payment made by Prudential in reliance on such records shall be a valid discharge of its obligation under this Contract.
2.12 [Deductions from Annuity Payments
A Covered Life (or a Contingent Life) may request in writing in a manner specified by Prudential that Prudential deduct a specified amount each month from the amounts payable by Prudential to such Covered Life (or Contingent Life) to be applied for payment of the annuitant's health care premiums and for payment of other benefits that were permitted to be deducted from Plan benefits governed by the Plan. Upon receipt by Prudential of such a request, the amount specified in such request shall, subject to the consent of Prudential, be so deducted each month until receipt by Prudential of a request (in a manner specified by Prudential) from the Covered Life (or Contingent Life) that such deductions cease. The amount so deducted each month shall be transferred on behalf of such Covered Life (or Contingent Life) as specified in the request for such deductions in full settlement of all obligations of Prudential under this Contract with respect to the amount so transferred. Deductions by Prudential on behalf of a Covered Life (or a Contingent Life) will begin or cease, as the case may be, no earlier than the Annuity Payment that is due at least 30 days following Prudential's receipt of such request to begin or cease deductions for that Covered Life (or Contingent Life).]D

Prudential's Guarantee:
This Certificate describes the monthly payments irrevocably guaranteed to you by The Prudential Insurance Company of America ("Prudential") under the Group Annuity Contract referred to above (the "Contract"). Prudential will make the payments owed by it under the Contract when those payments are due. We do not owe any payments to anyone under this Annuity Form if you have died before the Annuity Commencement Date.
Definitions & References:
Capitalized terms in this Certificate, which are in italics, are defined on the front of this Certificate. Those in bold are defined in other parts of this Certificate. “You” and “your” means the "Covered Life." "We," "us" and "our" means Prudential. "Payee" means the Covered Life and anyone else with an existing or future right to receive payments under this Annuity, but no Payee (other than the Covered Life) may make any changes or exercise any rights until the Payee has begun receiving payments. “Representative” means, with respect to a Payee, an individual or entity that has been duly appointed in accordance with the Contract to represent the Payee, such as a guardian.
Payment Terms:
“Single Life Annuity,” is the Annuity Form having the payment terms specified in this Payment Terms section. Payments may also be made in accordance with any of the following Riders if specified in the Table of Information on the front of this Certificate. Those riders are also described below in this Payment Terms section.
Special Benefit Rider
Level Benefit Rider
Refund Death Benefit Rider
and
together with any of the following Option(s) if specified in the Table of Information:
Post-Retirement Marriage Conversion Option
Disabled Age 55 Conversion Option
If the Table of Information specifies that you have a Conversion Option to cancel this Annuity Form, the following will apply. If you exercise the option, your rights under this Annuity Form are cancelled. Also, the rights of the Beneficiary are cancelled. After the effective date of the conversion, we will not owe any further payments under this Annuity Form. As a result of your exercise of a conversion option, you will become entitled to another Annuity Form. We will notify you of the new Annuity Form and related payment amounts.
General Payment Terms
During your lifetime, we will make monthly payments to you equal to your “Covered Life Amount”. We owe the first monthly payment on the Annuity Commencement Date. We will pay subsequent monthly payments on the first day of each month. Our last monthly payment to you will be on the first day of the month in which you die.
If you have a Refund Death Benefit Rider, we may owe a Refund Death Benefit to the designated Beneficiary for your Annuity Form. After you die, we will determine if we owe such payment. The following explains how we will determine if a payment is owed by us under this rider.
The amount of the Refund Death Benefit, if any, will equal the Maximum Refund Death Benefit (as specified in the Table of Information) less the Pre 1985 Part B Primary Amounts and the Post 1985 Part B Primary Amounts (as specified in the Table of Information) paid by us after the Annuity Commencement Date to you (or to any related alternate payee, arising, for example, from a domestic relations order).
The following amounts, names, or values apply to your Single Life Annuity:
“Covered Life Amount” equals an amount that depends on whether you are younger or older than sixty-two years and one month (“62 + 1”).
If you are younger than 62+1, the Covered Life Amount equals the “Pre 62+1 Pension Amount” specified in the Table
Appendix 1.3 - 3

of Information.
If you are older than 62+1, the Covered Life Amount equals the “Post 62+1 Pension Amount” specified in the Table of Information.
If you have a Special Benefit Rider, then the “Covered Life Amount” will be increased after your sixty-fifth (65th) birthday. The increase will start on first day of the month after your 65th birthday. If your 65th birthday falls on the first day of a month, the increase will start on that day. The amount of the increase will be the amount specified as the “Special Benefit Amount” in the Table of Information.
If you have a Level Benefit Rider, then the “Covered Life Amount” will be increased by Three Hundred Dollars ($300.00) after your sixty-fifth (65th) birthday. The increase will start on first day of the month after your 65th birthday. If your 65th birthday falls on the first day of a month, the increase will start on that day. During your lifetime, we do not owe your Contingent Life any benefits under the Level Benefit Rider.
The Table of Information may specify that there is a Contingent Life corresponding to you and that the Contingent Life is eligible for a Level Benefit Rider. If so, after you die, we may owe additional monthly payments. We will owe additional monthly payments if and when two conditions are met. The Contingent Life must be alive when you die. The Contingent Life must be older than sixty-five (65) years. If such conditions are met we will pay the first payment on the first day of the month following your death. Later monthly payments will be made on the first day of each month. We will pay the last payment on the first day of the month in which such Contingent Life dies. The amount of the payments will equal the $300.00.
If a portion of your Pre 62+1 Covered Life Amount is attributable to a “Disability Temporary Amount” as specified in the Table of Information, then the following applies. You may be eligible to receive social security disability benefits from the Federal Government. In any month that you receive such benefits before you reach 62+1, we do not owe you such Disability Temporary Amount and we may deduct any overpayments made to you.
Terms relating to Conversion Conditions. If no Conversion Options are identified for you on the Table of Information, then the following Conversion Conditions do not apply to you. If the Table of Information shows that Conversion Options apply, then the following Conversion Conditions apply to you.
“Conversion Conditions” means the following:
(i) With respect to Disabled Age 55 Conversion Option,
(A) means that a Covered Life (such Covered Life being “you” or “your”) is shown on the Table of Information as having a “Disabled Age 55” Conversion Option, and
(B) you demonstrate that your age is 55 years.
(ii) With respect to the Post-Retirement Marriage Conversion Option,
(A) means that a Covered Life (such Covered Life being “you” or “your”) is shown on the Table of Information as having a “Post-Retirement Marriage” Conversion Option, and
(B) You became married for the first time, or became re-married, after June 30, 2011, and
(C) You exercise this option within 18-months after such marriage or re-marriage, and
(D) You supply us with evidence of such marriage or re-marriage.
“Conversion Options” means, if the “Disabled Age 55 Conversion Option,” and/or the “Post-Retirement Marriage Conversion Option,” is specified in the Table of Information as applicable to you, and if such option is attached to an Annuity Form eligible for such option, the following options may convert the benefit from one Annuity Form to another Annuity Form. A Conversion Option cannot be exercised by a Contingent Life or a Beneficiary.
(i)“Disabled Age 55 Conversion Option” means, if you are specified in the Table of Information as having a “Disabled Age
Appendix 1.3 - 4

55” Conversion Option (because such person retired from the Plan under a disability retirement prior to age 55) and also as receiving a distribution of one of the following Annuity Forms:
Single Life Annuity
Spousal Joint and Survivor Annuity
then such option is available to such Covered Life (“you” or “your”).
When you reach age 55, you may exercise this option to convert your current Annuity Form. Before your option exercise can become effective, you must satisfy the applicable Conversion Conditions. You can select your new Annuity Form from the following list. However, if you are married at the time you exercise this option, we will automatically convert your Annuity Form into a Spousal Joint and Survivor Annuity absent a qualified election.
Single Life Annuity: If you elect this Annuity Form, the pre-62+1 Pension Amount payable to you will equal the sum of two numbers. The first number equals your Disability Age 55 Pre-62+1 Pension Amount (as specified in the Table of Information). The second number equals your Disability Temporary Annuity (if specified on the Table of Information) where there has been a denial of Social Security Disability benefits. Your post-62+1 Pension Amount will equal your Disability Age 55 Post 62+1 Pension Amount (as specified in the Table of Information).
Spousal Joint and Survivor Life Annuity: If at the time of your disability, you were married and elected a Contingent Joint and Survivor Life Annuity you are not eligible to make this election at age 55. If you elect this Annuity Form, your pre-62+1 Pension Amount will equal the product obtained by multiplying two numbers and then adding a third number. The first number is your Disability Age 55 Pre-62+1 Pension Amount (as specified in the Table of Information). The second number is your Spousal Joint and Survivor Life Annuity Pop-Up Decrease Factor. The third number is any Disability Temporary Annuity specified for you on the Table of Information where there has been a denial of Social Security Disability benefits. Your post-62+1 Pension Amount will equal the product obtained by multiplying two numbers. The first number is your Disability Age 55 Post 62+1 Pension Amount. The second number is your Spousal Joint and Survivor Life Annuity Pop-Up Decrease Factor.
The amount we will pay your spousal Contingent Life will equal the result of multiplying two numbers. The first number is the Covered Life Amount payable to you pursuant to the foregoing paragraph. The second number is a percentage. The applicable percentage is based on the corresponding Original Retirement Date specified for such Covered Life in the Table of Information or in our records: (1) 65% for an Original Retirement Date on/after October 1, 1999, (2) 60 % for an Original Retirement Date on/after November 1, 1976 and prior to October 1, 1999 (3) 55% for an Original Retirement Date on/after September 1, 1964 and prior to November 1, 1976 and (4) 50 % for an Original Retirement Date prior to September 1, 1964.
(ii) “Post-Retirement Marriage Conversion Option” means, if a Covered Life is specified in the Table of Information as having a “Post-Retirement Marriage” Conversion Option and also as receiving a distribution of the following Annuity Form:
Single Life Annuity
then such option is available to the Covered Life (“you” or “your”).
The option allows you to convert a portion of your monthly payment under a Single Life Annuity into a Spousal Joint and Survivor Annuity Form. Before your option exercise can become effective, you must meet the applicable Conversion Conditions. Also, you must notify us using a form provided by us. The effective date of the conversion is the first day of the month after the conversion is effective, but not sooner than the one-year anniversary of your marriage or re-marriage, and in any event before the 18-month anniversary of the marriage or re-marriage.
Only Part A Basic Amount (as specified in the Table of Information) may be converted. On the effective date of the conversion, we will reduce the Covered Life Amount. The amount of the reduction will equal the result of multiplying two numbers. The first number is the Part A Basic Amount specified for you in the Table of Information. The second number is the Spousal Joint & Survivor Life Annuity Pop-Up Decrease Factor.
After the effective date of the conversion, and after you die, we will owe your spouse additional monthly payments. To receive such payments, your spouse must be alive when you die. We will pay the first payment on the first day of the month following your death. We will pay the last payment on the first day of the month in which such spouse dies.
The amount we will pay such spouse will equal the result of multiplying two numbers. The first number is the Covered Life
Appendix 1.3 - 5

Amount payable to you, as reduced pursuant to the preceding paragraph. The second number is a percentage. The applicable percentage is based on the corresponding Original Retirement Date specified for such Covered Life in the Table of Information or in our records: (1) 65% for a Original Retirement Date on/after October 1, 1999, (2) 60% for a Original Retirement Date on/after November 1, 1976 and prior to October 1, 1999 (3) 55% for a Original Retirement Date on/after September 1, 1964 and prior to November 1, 1976 and (4) 50% for a Original Retirement Date prior to September 1, 1964.

purpose.
By written notice, a Payee may request a change of the mailing address we use for payments by check.

Payees must deliver these items to Prudential as described below under "Correspondence."

Assignment:
Payees may not assign, pledge, anticipate, accelerate or transfer this Annuity, except as expressly provided in the Contract. Also, Payees may not use a Representative to do the same. To the full extent permitted by law, Annuity payments are not subject to the claims of creditors. Compliance with a domestic relations order meeting the requirements of the Contract will not be considered an impermissible transaction or claim.
Qualified Domestic Relations Orders:
Should your Annuity become subject to a Qualified Domestic Relations Order, we may be required to alter monthly payments under the Annuity. We may make payments according to such order, regardless of the Annuity Form selected. This includes any adjustments needed to retroactively implement the order. We may rely upon any Qualified Domestic Relations Order we believe to be valid.
Appendix 1.3 - 6

Reliance Upon Affidavit or Other Evidence:
We may rely upon an affidavit or other evidence to verify relevant facts. Payments we make in reliance upon this information relieve us from any liability under the Contract and this Certificate.
Misstatements:
If certain information was misstated to us, your annuity payments may or may not be changed as described below.
If a Payee's date of birth, date of death, or sex was misstated to us, then we will not have the right to reduce any annuity payment below the amount determined using the information contained in the Contract. Also, we will not have the obligation to increase any Annuity Payment above the amount determined using the information contained in the Contract.
If information other than the Payee's date of birth, date of death, or sex was misstated to us, then Prudential will adjust the annuity payment. First we will determine the portion of the premium paid to us to purchase your annuity. The annuity payment amount owed by us will be increased or decreased to equal the amount that could have been purchased using the premium paid for the annuity assuming the misstatement had not happened. Also, Prudential will not change the date of the first monthly payment.
If the corrected annuity payment is less than the annuity payment determined using the misstated information, then the annuity payment will be decreased to the amount calculated as described in the last paragraph above. We may reduce future annuity payments further by amounts previously overpaid by us to the Payee. If the corrected annuity payment is more than the annuity payment calculated using the misstated information, then the annuity payment will be increased to the amount determined as described in the last paragraph above. We will further pay the amount of the underpayments by us in one of the next two annuity payments due with respect to the Payee.
In addition to changing the amount of annuity payments, the adjustments made pursuant to this section may change other important terms of payment. For example, the form of annuity for a Payee may change. Whether there is any Contingent Life entitled to receive an annuity payment may change. All adjustments made pursuant to this section will be binding upon the Payee.
Notwithstanding the above, after the Annuity Commencement Date, determinations by us under the Contract in connection with each of the following will reflect any corrections of date of birth or date of death of any Covered Life or Contingent Life (and of any Beneficiary, if applicable), provided to and verified by us after the Annuity Commencement Date: (1) a conversion from one Annuity Form to another Annuity Form, (2) an increase in the Covered Life Amount based on attainment of a certain age and (3) a decrease in the Covered Life Amount based on attainment of a certain age.
Supplemental Information:
As a condition to making any payment, we may require a Payee to provide certain information not previously supplied. This information may include copies of signed election forms and signed spousal consent forms (where required). If legally required, we may withhold all or a portion of any payment until receiving a Social Security or taxpayer identification number for the Payee and any other items required by law.
As a condition to making any payment, we may require satisfactory evidence that any Payee is alive. We may withhold future payments until we receive this evidence.
Payments under this Certificate will be made to a Payee unless a Representative has been duly appointed in accordance with the Contract with respect to a Payee. If a Representative has been appointed, we may fulfill our obligation to a Payee under this Certificate by making payments to the Payee's Representative.
[For any Payee who is shown in the Contract as having been paid, prior to the Annuity Commencement Date, Plan benefits over the amount owed under the Plan, such overpayments shall be deducted from the annuity payments otherwise owed to such persons pursuant to the Payment Terms of this Certificate. Nothing in the prior sentence shall relate to information that may have been misstated to us. Such misstatements are governed by the above Misstatements section.]D
[For any Payee who is shown in the Contract as having been paid, prior to the Annuity Commencement Date, Plan benefits that were less than the amount owed under the Plan, such underpayments shall be added to the annuity payments otherwise owed to such persons pursuant to the Payment Terms of this Certificate. Nothing in the prior sentence shall relate to information that may have been misstated to us. Such misstatements are governed by the above Misstatements section.]D

[Deductions from Annuity Payments:
You (or your Contingent Life) may request in writing in a manner specified by us that we deduct a specified amount each month from the amounts we pay to you (or your Contingent Life). The amounts will be applied for payment of your health care premiums and for payment of other benefits that were permitted to be deducted from Plan benefits governed by the Plan. Upon receipt by us of the request, the amount specified in the request shall, subject to our consent, be deducted each month. Deductions will end if we receive a request (in a manner specified by us) from you (or your Contingent Life) to do so. The amount deducted each month shall be transferred on your behalf (or your Contingent Life's behalf) as specified in the request. The amount transferred will be in full settlement of all of our obligations under the Contract with respect to the amount transferred. Deductions by us on your behalf (or on behalf of your Contingent Life) will begin or end, as the case may be, no earlier than the annuity payment that is due at least 30 days following our receipt of the request to begin or end deductions for you or your Contingent Life).] D

Upon a change in the requirements of applicable law or a regulation administered by a governmental agency, we may change the Contract and/or this Certificate.

Prudential's Guarantee:
This Certificate describes the monthly payments irrevocably guaranteed to you by The Prudential Insurance Company of America ("Prudential") under the Group Annuity Contract referred to above (the "Contract"). Prudential will make the payments owed by it under the Contract when those payments are due. We do not owe any payments to anyone under this Annuity Form if you have died before the Annuity Commencement Date.
Definitions & References:
Capitalized terms in this Certificate, which are in italics, are defined on the front of this Certificate. Those in bold are defined in other parts of this Certificate. “You” and “your” means the "Covered Life." "We," "us" and "our" means Prudential. "Payee" means the Covered Life and anyone else with an existing or future right to receive payments under this Annuity, but no Payee (other than the Covered Life) may make any changes or exercise any rights until the Payee has begun receiving payments. “Representative” means, with respect to a Payee, an individual or entity that has been duly appointed in accordance with the Contract to represent the Payee, such as a guardian.
Payment Terms:
“Spousal Joint and Survivor Life Annuity,” is the Annuity Form having the payment terms specified in this Payment Terms section. Payments may also be made in accordance with any of the following Riders if specified in the Table of Information on the front of this Certificate. Those riders are also described below in this Payment Terms section.
Special Benefit Rider
Level Benefit Rider
Pop-Up Rider
Refund Death Benefit Rider
and
together with any of the following Option(s) if specified in the Table of Information:
General Conversion Option
Disabled Age 55 Conversion Option
If the Table of Information specifies that you have a Conversion Option to cancel this Annuity Form, the following will apply. If you exercise the option, your rights under this Annuity Form are cancelled. Also, the rights of the Contingent Life and any Beneficiary are cancelled. After the effective date of the conversion, we will not owe any further payments under this Annuity Form. As a result of your exercise of a conversion option, you will become entitled to another Annuity Form. We will notify you of the new Annuity Form and related payment amounts.
General Payment Terms
During your lifetime, we will make monthly payments to you equal to your “Covered Life Amount”. We owe the first monthly payment on the Annuity Commencement Date. We will pay subsequent monthly payments on the first day of each month. Our last monthly payment to you will be on the first day of the month in which you die.
After you die, we may owe additional monthly payments. We will owe additional monthly payments if your Contingent Life (as specified in the Table of Information) is your spouse and is alive when you die. We will pay the first payment on the first day of the month following your death. We will pay subsequent monthly payments on the first day of each month. We will pay the last payment on the first day of the month in which such Contingent Life dies. The amount of the payments will equal the Contingent Life Amount.
If you have a Refund Death Benefit Rider, we may owe a Refund Death Benefit to the designated Beneficiary for your Annuity Form. After both you and your Contingent Life die, we will determine if we owe such payment. The following explains how we will determine if a payment is owed by us under this rider.
The amount of the Refund Death Benefit, if any, will equal the Maximum Refund Death Benefit (as specified in the Table of Information) less the Pre 1985 Part B Primary Amounts and the Post 1985 Part B Primary Amounts (as specified in the Table of Information) paid by us after the Annuity Commencement Date to you, to your Contingent Life (or to any related alternate
Appendix 1.3 - 12

payee, arising, for example, from a domestic relations order).
The following amounts, names, or values apply to your Spousal Joint and Survivor Life Annuity:
“Covered Life Amount” equals an amount that depends on whether you are younger or older than sixty-two years and one month (“62 + 1”).

• | If you are younger than 62+1, the Covered Life Amount equals the “Pre 62+1 Pension Amount” specified in the Table of Information.

• | If you are older than 62+1, the Covered Life Amount equals the “Post 62+1 Pension Amount” specified in the Table of Information.

If you have a Special Benefit Rider, then the “Covered Life Amount” will be increased after your sixty-fifth (65th) birthday. The increase will start on first day of the month after your 65th birthday. If your 65th birthday falls on the first day of a month, the increase will start on that day. The amount of the increase will be the amount specified as the “Special Benefit Amount” in the Table of Information. During your lifetime, we do not owe your Contingent Life any benefits under the Special Benefit Rider. If your Contingent Life has a Special Benefit rider, we only owe the related payments after you die.
If you have a Level Benefit Rider, then the “Covered Life Amount” will be increased by Three Hundred Dollars ($300.000) after your sixty-fifth (65th) birthday. The increase will start on first day of the month after your 65th birthday. If your 65th birthday falls on the first day of a month, the increase will start on that day. During your lifetime, we do not owe your Contingent Life any benefits under the Level Benefit Rider. If your Contingent Life has a Level Benefit rider, we only owe the related payments after you die.
If you have a Pop-Up Rider, and if your Contingent Life dies after the Annuity Commencement Date and before you die, then we will increase the “Covered Life Amount.” You must first provide us acceptable evidence that such Contingent Life died. We will pay the increase starting in the month following the month of your Contingent Life's death. The amount of the increase will equal the Pop-Up Amount specified for you in the Table of Information. If the age of your Contingent Life as shown on the Table of Information is misstated, then we will re-calculate the Pop-Up Amount. The corrected Pop-Up Amount will equal the Part A Basic Amount specified for such person in the Table of Information multiplied by the General Pop-Up Increase Factor. The Spousal Joint and Survivor Life Annuity Pop-Up Increase Factor will be determined in accordance with the Contract.
If a portion of your Pre 62+1 Covered Life Amount is attributable to a “Disability Temporary Amount” as specified in the Table of Information, then the following applies. You may be eligible to receive social security disability benefits from the Federal Government. In any month that you receive such benefits before you reach 62+1, we do not owe you such Disability Temporary Amount and we may deduct any overpayments made to you.
“Contingent Life Amount” means an amount that is specified in the Table of Information.
If your Contingent Life has a Special Benefit Rider, then the “Contingent Life Amount” will be increased for payments owed after his or her sixty-fifth (65th) birthday. The increase will start on first day of the month after such 65th birthday. If such birthday falls on the first day of a month, the increase will start on that day. The amount of the increase will be the amount specified as the “Special Benefit Amount” in the Table of Information.
If your Contingent Life has a Level Benefit Rider, then the “Contingent Life Amount” will be increased by Three Hundred Dollars ($300.000) for payments owed after his or her sixty-fifth (65th) birthday. The increase will start on first day of the month after such 65th birthday. If such birthday falls on the first day of a month, the increase will start on that day.
Terms relating to Conversion Conditions. If no Conversion Options are identified for you on the Table of Information, then the following Conversion Conditions do not apply to you. If the Table of Information shows that Conversion Options apply, then the following Conversion Conditions apply to you.
“Conversion Conditions” means the following:
(i) With respect to Disabled Age 55 Conversion Option,
(A) means that a Covered Life (such Covered Life being “you” or “your”) is shown on the Table of Information as having a
Appendix 1.3 - 13

“Disabled Age 55” Conversion Option, and
(B) you demonstrate that your age is 55 years
(ii) With respect to the General Conversion Option,
(A) means that a Covered Life (such Covered Life being “you” or “your”) is shown on the Table of Information as having a “General” Conversion Option, then you must demonstrate that you meet one of the following conditions before you can exercise the option:
(B) if your Annuity Form is the Spousal Joint and Survivor Life Annuity or the Contingent Joint and Survivor Life Annuity with your spouse as Contingent Life and if you became divorced after your Original Retirement Date (as specified on the Table of Information), then you can exercise the option if you comply with the following conditions. You must provide us with a qualified domestic relations order (QDRO) in a form acceptable to us. It must provide that such Contingent Life will not be entitled to any portion of the Contingent Life Amount when you die.
(C) if your Annuity Form is the Contingent Joint and Survivor Life Annuity, and if your Contingent Life is not your spouse, you can exercise this option only in the event of post retirement marriage or re-marriage. No waiver from your Contingent Life is required. If we request, you must provide us with satisfactory proof of the good health of the Contingent Life before the Contingent Life can be removed and a new spouse can be added.
Note that this option is limited to the situations described above. The following are examples of situations where you cannot exercise this option.
(X) if your Annuity Form is the Spousal Joint and Survivor Life Annuity and if you have not been divorced since your Original Retirement Date, you cannot exercise this option.
(Y) if your Annuity Form is the Contingent Joint and Survivor Life Annuity, if your Contingent Life is your spouse, and if you have not been divorced since your Original Retirement Date, you cannot exercise this option.
“Conversion Options” means, if the “Disabled Age 55 Conversion Option,” and/or the “General Conversion Option,” is specified in the Table of Information as applicable to you, and if such option is attached to an Annuity Form eligible for such option, the following options may convert the benefit from one Annuity Form to another Annuity Form. A Conversion Option cannot be exercised by a Contingent Life or a Beneficiary.
(i)“Disabled Age 55 Conversion Option” means, if you are specified in the Table of Information as having a “Disabled Age 55” Conversion Option (because such person retired from the Plan under a disability retirement prior to age 55) and also as receiving a distribution of one of the following Annuity Forms:
Single Life Annuity
Spousal Joint and Survivor Annuity
then such option is available to such Covered Life (“you” or “your”).
When you reach age 55, you may exercise this option to convert your current Annuity Form. Before your option exercise can become effective, you must satisfy the applicable Conversion Conditions. You can select your new Annuity Form from the following list. However, if you are married at the time you exercise this option, we will automatically convert your Annuity Form into a Spousal Joint and Survivor Annuity absent a qualified election.
Single Life Annuity: If you elect this Annuity Form, the pre-62+1 Pension Amount payable to you will equal the sum of two numbers. The first number equals your Disability Age 55 Pre-62+1 Pension Amount (as specified in the Table of Information). The second number equals your Disability Temporary Annuity (if specified on the Table of Information) where there has been a denial of Social Security Disability benefits. Your post-62+1 Pension Amount will equal your Disability Age 55 Post 62+1 Pension Amount (as specified in the Table of Information).
Spousal Joint and Survivor Life Annuity: If at the time of your disability, you were married and elected a Contingent Joint and
Appendix 1.3 - 14

Survivor Life Annuity you are not eligible to make this election at age 55. If you elect this Annuity Form, your pre-62+1 Pension Amount will equal the product obtained by multiplying two numbers and then adding a third number. The first number is your Disability Age 55 Pre-62+1 Pension Amount (as specified in the Table of Information). The second number is your Spousal Joint and Survivor Life Annuity Pop-Up Decrease Factor. The third number is any Disability Temporary Annuity specified for you on the Table of Information where there has been a denial of Social Security Disability benefits. Your post-62+1 Pension Amount will equal the product obtained by multiplying two numbers. The first number is your Disability Age 55 Post 62+1 Pension Amount. The second number is your Spousal Joint and Survivor Life Annuity Pop-Up Decrease Factor as determined in accordance with the Contract.
The amount we will pay your spousal Contingent Life will equal the result of multiplying two numbers. The first number is the Covered Life Amount payable to you pursuant to the foregoing paragraph. The second number is a percentage. The applicable percentage is based on the corresponding Original Retirement Date specified for such Covered Life in the Table of Information or in our records: (1) 65% for an Original Retirement Date on/after October 1, 1999, (2) 60 % for an Original Retirement Date on/after November 1, 1976 and prior to October 1, 1999 (3) 55% for an Original Retirement Date on/after September 1, 1964 and prior to November 1, 1976 and (4) 50 % for an Original Retirement Date prior to September 1, 1964.
(ii) “General Conversion Option” means, if you are shown in the Table of Information as having a “General” Conversion Option and also as receiving a distribution of one of the following Annuity Forms:
Spousal Joint and Survivor Annuity
Contingent Joint and Survivor Life Annuity
then such option is available to the Covered Life (“you” or “your”).
The option allows you to convert your Annuity Form into a Single Life Annuity Form. Before your option exercise can become effective, you must meet the applicable Conversion Conditions. You must also notify us using a form provided by us.
Once you exercise your option, we will not owe any money to your Contingent Life after you die. Instead, we will increase the Covered Life Amount payable to you. The amount of the increase will equal the Pop-Up Amount in the Table of Information. If the Annuity Form is a Contingent Joint and Survivor Life Annuity, the amount of the increase will equal the result of multiplying two numbers. The first number is the Part A Basic Amount specified for you in the Table of Information. The second number is the Continent Joint and Survivor Life Annuity Pop-Up Increase Factor determined under the Contract. We will start paying the increased amount on the first day of the month after the exercise of your option becomes effective.

Appendix 1.3 - 15

Group Annuity Contract Number (shown on the first page of this Certificate) on all notices and forms sent to us.
[ Beneficiaries:
You may change Beneficiaries as described below. After you die, the Contingent Life may change Beneficiaries as described below. You may tell us on the Beneficiary Form to disregard Beneficiary changes made by the Contingent Life after your death. If you do not, we will honor those changes.

Assignment:
Payees may not assign, pledge, anticipate, accelerate or transfer this Annuity, except as expressly provided in the Contract. Also, Payees may not use a Representative to do the same. To the full extent permitted by law, Annuity payments are not subject to the claims of creditors. Compliance with a domestic relations order meeting the requirements of the Contract will not be considered an impermissible transaction or claim.
Qualified Domestic Relations Orders:
Should your Annuity become subject to a Qualified Domestic Relations Order, we may be required to alter monthly payments under the Annuity. We may make payments according to such order, regardless of the Annuity Form selected. This includes any adjustments needed to retroactively implement the order. We may rely upon any Qualified Domestic Relations Order we believe to be valid.
Reliance Upon Affidavit or Other Evidence:
We may rely upon an affidavit or other evidence to verify relevant facts. Payments we make in reliance upon this information relieve us from any liability under the Contract and this Certificate.
Misstatements:
If certain information was misstated to us, your annuity payments may or may not be changed as described below.
If a Payee's date of birth, date of death, or sex was misstated to us, then we will not have the right to reduce any annuity payment below the amount determined using the information contained in the Contract. Also, we will not have the obligation to increase any Annuity Payment above the amount determined using the information contained in the Contract.
If information other than the Payee's date of birth, date of death, or sex was misstated to us, then Prudential will adjust the annuity payment. First we will determine the portion of the premium paid to us to purchase your annuity. The annuity payment amount owed by us will be increased or decreased to equal the amount that could have been purchased using the premium paid for the annuity assuming the misstatement had not happened. Also, Prudential will not change the date of the first monthly payment.
If the corrected annuity payment is less than the annuity payment determined using the misstated information, then the annuity payment will be decreased to the amount calculated as described in the last paragraph above. We may reduce future annuity payments further by amounts previously overpaid by us to the Payee. If the corrected annuity payment is more than the annuity payment calculated using the misstated information, then the annuity payment will be increased to the amount determined as described in the last paragraph above. We will further pay the amount of the underpayments by us in one of the next two annuity payments due with respect to the Payee.
In addition to changing the amount of annuity payments, the adjustments made pursuant to this section may change other important terms of payment. For example, the form of annuity for a Payee may change. The percentage of your annuity payment that is
Appendix 1.3 - 16

payable to the Contingent Life may change. Whether there is any Contingent Life entitled to receive an annuity payment may change. All adjustments made pursuant to this section will be binding upon the Payee.
Notwithstanding the above, after the Annuity Commencement Date, determinations by us under the Contract in connection with each of the following will reflect any corrections of date of birth or date of death of any Covered Life or Contingent Life (and of any Beneficiary, if applicable), provided to and verified by Prudential after the Annuity Commencement Date: (1) a conversion from one Annuity Form to another Annuity Form, (2) an increase in the Covered Life Amount based on attainment of a certain age and (3) a decrease in the Covered Life Amount based on attainment of a certain age.
Supplemental Information:
As a condition to making any payment, we may require a Payee to provide certain information not previously supplied. This information may include copies of signed election forms and signed spousal consent forms (where required). If legally required, we may withhold all or a portion of any payment until receiving a Social Security or taxpayer identification number for the Payee and any other items required by law.
As a condition to making any payment, we may require satisfactory evidence that any Payee is alive. We may withhold future payments until we receive this evidence.
Payments under this Certificate will be made to a Payee unless a Representative has been duly appointed in accordance with the Contract with respect to a Payee. If a Representative has been appointed, we may fulfill our obligation to a Payee under this Certificate by making payments to the Payee's Representative.
[For any Payee who is shown in the Contract as having been paid, prior to the Annuity Commencement Date, Plan benefits over the amount owed under the Plan, such overpayments shall be deducted from the annuity payments otherwise owed to such persons pursuant to the Payment Terms of this Certificate. Nothing in the prior sentence shall relate to information that may have been misstated to us. Such misstatements are governed by the above Misstatements section.]D
[For any Payee who is shown in the Contract as having been paid, prior to the Annuity Commencement Date, Plan benefits that were less than the amount owed under the Plan, such underpayments shall be added to the annuity payments otherwise owed to such persons pursuant to the Payment Terms of this Certificate. Nothing in the prior sentence shall relate to information that may have been misstated to us. Such misstatements are governed by the above Misstatements section.]D

This Certificate replaces any certificate that you may have previously received with respect to Prudential's guarantee under the Contract. Please review this Certificate carefully and notify us promptly if you feel any information is incorrect. We are not bound by any incorrect information in this Certificate, nor are we bound by any other errors in this Certificate if clearly inconsistent with the terms of the Contract. We may instead continue to comply with the terms of the Contract as if the Certificate initially had been correctly issued. We may issue a corrected Certificate in the same manner the original Certificate was issued, but we will clearly indicate on the face of the new Certificate that it is a "CORRECTED AND REISSUED" Certificate (or other words to that effect).
If you exercise an option that changes your Form of Annuity, then a replacement certificate will be issued to you. The replacement certificate will describe the payments that you will receive under your changed Form of Annuity.
Entire Contract:
The Contract constitutes the entire agreement between the Contract-Holder and us solely with respect to the annuity payments owed to each payee under the Contract.
Rights of Payees:
The Payees have the right to receive the annuity payments set forth under this Certificate. Such right to annuity payments is enforceable by the Payees solely against Prudential and no other person including the Plan, Plan sponsor, Contract-Holder or any affiliate thereof.

[Deductions from Annuity Payments:
You (or your Contingent Life) may request in writing in a manner specified by us that we deduct a specified amount each month from the amounts we pay to you (or your Contingent Life). The amounts will be applied for payment of your health care premiums and for payment of other benefits that were permitted to be deducted from Plan benefits governed by the Plan. Upon receipt by us of the request, the amount specified in the request shall, subject to our consent, be deducted each month. Deductions will end if we receive a request (in a manner specified by us) from you (or your Contingent Life) to do so.

The amount transferred will be in full settlement of all of our obligations under the Contract with respect to the amount transferred. Deductions by us on your behalf (or on behalf of your Contingent Life) will begin or end, as the case may be, no earlier than the annuity payment that is due at least 30 days following our receipt of the request to begin or end deductions for you or your Contingent Life).] D

Also, we will not have the obligation to increase any Annuity Payment above the amount determined using the information contained in the Contract.
If information other than the Payee's date of birth, date of death, or sex was misstated to us, then Prudential will adjust the annuity payment. First we will determine the portion of the premium paid to us to purchase your annuity. The annuity payment amount owed by us will be increased or decreased to equal the amount that could have been purchased using the premium paid for the annuity assuming the misstatement had not happened. Also, Prudential will not change the date of the first monthly payment.
If the corrected annuity payment is less than the annuity payment determined using the misstated information, then the annuity payment will be decreased to the amount calculated as described in the last paragraph above. We may reduce future annuity payments further by amounts previously overpaid by us to the Payee. If the corrected annuity payment is more than the annuity payment calculated using the misstated information, then the annuity payment will be increased to the amount determined as described in the last paragraph above. We will further pay the amount of the underpayments by us in one of the next two annuity payments due with respect to the Payee.
In addition to changing the amount of annuity payments, the adjustments made pursuant to this section may change other important terms of payment. All adjustments made pursuant to this section will be binding upon the Payee.

Prudential's Guarantee:
This Certificate describes the monthly payments irrevocably guaranteed to you by The Prudential Insurance Company of America ("Prudential") under the Group Annuity Contract referred to above (the "Contract"). Prudential will make the payments owed by it under the Contract when those payments are due.
Definitions & References:
Capitalized terms in this Certificate, which are in italics, are defined on the front of this Certificate. Those in bold are defined in other parts of this Certificate. “You” and “your” means the "Covered Life." "We," "us" and "our" means Prudential. "Payee"
Appendix 1.3 - 24

means the Covered Life and anyone else with an existing or future right to receive payments under this Annuity, but no Payee (other than the Covered Life) may make any changes or exercise any rights until the Payee has begun receiving payments. “Representative” means, with respect to a Payee, an individual or entity that has been duly appointed in accordance with the Contract to represent the Payee, such as a guardian.
Payment Terms:
“Period Certain Annuity,” is the Annuity Form having the payment terms specified in this Payment Terms section.
General Payment Terms
We will make monthly payments to you equal to your Covered Life Amount. We owe the first monthly payment on the Annuity Commencement Date. We will pay subsequent monthly payments on the first day of each month. The total number of monthly payments will equal the Guaranteed Number of Payments specified for you in the Table of Information. Once such Guaranteed Number of Payments has been paid, no further payments are due.
If you die after the Annuity Commencement Date, we will determine the number of monthly payments we made to you after the Annuity Commencement Date. If the number payment made is less than such Guaranteed Number of Payments, then we will pay the Covered Life Amount to the designated Beneficiary for your Annuity Form. These payments to such Beneficiary will stop when the total number of payments to you, plus the number of payments to the Beneficiary, equals the Guaranteed Number of Payments.
“Covered Life Amount” means an amount that is specified in the Table of Information.
Method of Payment:
We will make all payments in U.S. dollars. Payees may elect to receive payments either by check or by direct deposit to a bank or other financial institution chosen by the Payee. Checks are mailed to the last known address for the Payee as shown on our records. Direct deposit may be selected only by using a form supplied for such purpose.
By written notice, a Payee may request a change of the mailing address we use for payments by check. By using a form we supply, a Payee may change the bank or other financial institution receiving direct payments. Payees must deliver these items to Prudential as described below under "Correspondence."
We may change these procedures by sending a letter to the Payee. We will use the address last shown on our records.

Assignment:
Payees may not assign, pledge, anticipate, accelerate or transfer this Annuity, except as expressly provided in the Contract. Also, Payees may not use a Representative to do the same. To the full extent permitted by law, Annuity payments are not subject to the claims of creditors. Compliance with a domestic relations order meeting the requirements of the Contract will not be considered an impermissible transaction or claim.
Qualified Domestic Relations Orders:
Should your Annuity become subject to a Qualified Domestic Relations Order, we may be required to alter monthly payments under the Annuity. We may make payments according to such order, regardless of the Annuity Form selected. This includes any adjustments needed to retroactively implement the order. We may rely upon any Qualified Domestic Relations Order we believe to be valid.
Reliance Upon Affidavit or Other Evidence:
We may rely upon an affidavit or other evidence to verify relevant facts. Payments we make in reliance upon this information relieve us from any liability under the Contract and this Certificate.
Misstatements:
If certain information was misstated to us, your annuity payments may or may not be changed as described below.
If a Payee's date of birth, date of death, or sex was misstated to us, then we will not have the right to reduce any annuity payment below the amount determined using the information contained in the Contract. Also, we will not have the obligation to increase any Annuity Payment above the amount determined using the information contained in the Contract.
If information other than the Payee's date of birth, date of death, or sex was misstated to us, then Prudential will adjust the annuity payment.

Also, Prudential will not change the date of the first monthly payment.
If the corrected annuity payment is less than the annuity payment determined using the misstated information, then the annuity payment will be decreased to the amount calculated as described in the last paragraph above. We may reduce future annuity payments further by amounts previously overpaid by us to the Payee. If the corrected annuity payment is more than the annuity payment calculated using the misstated information, then the annuity payment will be increased to the amount determined as described in the last paragraph above.

Certificate by making payments to the Payee's Representative.

Prudential's Guarantee:
This Certificate describes the monthly payments irrevocably guaranteed to you by The Prudential Insurance Company of America ("Prudential") under the Group Annuity Contract referred to above (the "Contract"). Prudential will make the
Appendix 1.3 - 35

payments owed by it under the Contract when those payments are due. We do not owe any payments to anyone under this Annuity Form if you have died before the Annuity Commencement Date.
Definitions & References:
Capitalized terms in this Certificate, which are in italics, are defined on the front of this Certificate. Those in bold are defined in other parts of this Certificate. “You” and “your” means the "Covered Life." "We," "us" and "our" means Prudential. "Payee" means the Covered Life and anyone else with an existing or future right to receive payments under this Annuity, but no Payee (other than the Covered Life) may make any changes or exercise any rights until the Payee has begun receiving payments. “Representative” means, with respect to a Payee, an individual or entity that has been duly appointed in accordance with the Contract to represent the Payee, such as a guardian.
Payment Terms:
“Window Spousal Contingent Joint and Survivor Life Annuity,” is the Annuity Form having the payment terms specified in this Payment Terms section. Payments may also be made in accordance with any of the following Riders if specified in the Table of Information on the front of this Certificate. Those riders are also described below in this Payment Terms section.
Refund Death Benefit Rider
General Payment Terms
During your lifetime, we will make monthly payments to you equal to your Covered Life Amount. We owe the first monthly payment on the Annuity Commencement Date. We will pay subsequent monthly payments on the first day of each month. Our last monthly payment to you will be on the first day of the month in which you die.
After you die, we may owe additional monthly payments. We will owe additional monthly payments if your Contingent Life (as specified in the Table of Information) is your spouse and is alive when you die. We will pay the first payment on the first day of the month following your death. We will pay subsequent monthly payments on the first day of each month. We will pay the last payment on the first day of the month in which such Contingent Life dies. The amount of the payments will equal the Contingent Life Amount.
If you have a Refund Death Benefit Rider, we may owe a Refund Death Benefit to the designated Beneficiary for your Annuity Form. After both you and your Contingent Life die, we will determine if we owe such payment. The following explains how we will determine if a payment is owed by us under this rider.
The amount of the Refund Death Benefit, if any, will equal the Maximum Refund Death Benefit (as specified in the Table of Information) less the Pre 1985 Part B Primary Amounts and the Post 1985 Part B Primary Amounts (as specified in the Table of Information) paid by us after the Annuity Commencement Date to you, to your Contingent Life (or to any related alternate payee, arising, for example, from a domestic relations order).
“Covered Life Amount” means an amount that is specified in the Table of Information.
“Contingent Life Amount” means an amount that is specified in the Table of Information.
Method of Payment:
We will make all payments in U.S. dollars. Payees may elect to receive payments either by check or by direct deposit to a bank or other financial institution chosen by the Payee. Checks are mailed to the last known address for the Payee as shown on our records. Direct deposit may be selected only by using a form supplied for such purpose.
By written notice, a Payee may request a change of the mailing address we use for payments by check. By using a form we supply, a Payee may change the bank or other financial institution receiving direct payments. Payees must deliver these items to Prudential as described below under "Correspondence."
Appendix 1.3 - 36

We may change these procedures by sending a letter to the Payee. We will use the address last shown on our records.
Correspondence:
Mail any notices and forms to the current notice address. The current notice address is:
The Prudential Insurance Company of America
[P.O. Box 5370
Scranton, PA 18505-5370] C
Prudential may change the notice address by sending a letter to the Payee. We will use the address last shown on our records.
All notices must be in writing. Payee must sign all notices and forms. Please refer to the Annuity Certificate Number and the Group Annuity Contract Number (shown on the first page of this Certificate) on all notices and forms sent to us.
[Beneficiaries:
You may change Beneficiaries as described below. After you die, the Contingent Life may change Beneficiaries as described below. You may tell us on the Beneficiary Form to disregard Beneficiary changes made by the Contingent life after your death. If you do not, we will honor those changes.
Selections and changes of Beneficiaries must use a form ("Beneficiary Form") we supply. Beneficiary Forms must be delivered to Prudential as described above under "Correspondence." Selections and changes must comply with all applicable laws, including those relating to spousal waivers. Unless required by law or the Plan, we will not require any existing Beneficiary to consent to a change of Beneficiaries.
Beneficiary selection and changes shall take effect on the date you (or your Contingent Life) sign the change in Beneficiary form. However, no change shall be effective with respect to any action taken by us before we receive the change in Beneficiary form. Unless otherwise indicated on the Beneficiary designation or change form, the interest of any Beneficiary who dies before you (or where applicable, your Contingent Life) ceases altogether.] D
Assignment:
Payees may not assign, pledge, anticipate, accelerate or transfer this Annuity, except as expressly provided in the Contract. Also, Payees may not use a Representative to do the same. To the full extent permitted by law, Annuity payments are not subject to the claims of creditors. Compliance with a domestic relations order meeting the requirements of the Contract will not be considered an impermissible transaction or claim.
Qualified Domestic Relations Orders:
Should your Annuity become subject to a Qualified Domestic Relations Order, we may be required to alter monthly payments under the Annuity. We may make payments according to such order, regardless of the Annuity Form selected. This includes any adjustments needed to retroactively implement the order. We may rely upon any Qualified Domestic Relations Order we believe to be valid.
Reliance Upon Affidavit or Other Evidence:
We may rely upon an affidavit or other evidence to verify relevant facts. Payments we make in reliance upon this information relieve us from any liability under the Contract and this Certificate.
Misstatements:
If certain information was misstated to us, your annuity payments may or may not be changed as described below.
If a Payee's date of birth, date of death, or sex was misstated to us, then we will not have the right to reduce any annuity payment below the amount determined using the information contained in the Contract. Also, we will not have the obligation to increase any Annuity Payment above the amount determined using the information contained in the Contract.
Appendix 1.3 - 37

If information other than the Payee's date of birth, date of death, or sex was misstated to us, then Prudential will adjust the annuity payment. First we will determine the portion of the premium paid to us to purchase your annuity. The annuity payment amount owed by us will be increased or decreased to equal the amount that could have been purchased using the premium paid for the annuity assuming the misstatement had not happened. Also, Prudential will not change the date of the first monthly payment.
If the corrected annuity payment is less than the annuity payment determined using the misstated information, then the annuity payment will be decreased to the amount calculated as described in the last paragraph above. We may reduce future annuity payments further by amounts previously overpaid by us to the Payee. If the corrected annuity payment is more than the annuity payment calculated using the misstated information, then the annuity payment will be increased to the amount determined as described in the last paragraph above. We will further pay the amount of the underpayments by us in one of the next two annuity payments due with respect to the Payee.
In addition to changing the amount of annuity payments, the adjustments made pursuant to this section may change other important terms of payment. For example, the form of annuity for a Payee may change. The percentage of your annuity payment that is payable to the Contingent Life may change. Whether there is any Contingent Life entitled to receive an annuity payment may change. All adjustments made pursuant to this section will be binding upon the Payee.
Supplemental Information:
As a condition to making any payment, we may require a Payee to provide certain information not previously supplied. This information may include copies of signed election forms and signed spousal consent forms (where required). If legally required, we may withhold all or a portion of any payment until receiving a Social Security or taxpayer identification number for the Payee and any other items required by law.
As a condition to making any payment, we may require satisfactory evidence that any Payee is alive. We may withhold future payments until we receive this evidence.
Payments under this Certificate will be made to a Payee unless a Representative has been duly appointed in accordance with the Contract with respect to a Payee. If a Representative has been appointed, we may fulfill our obligation to a Payee under this Certificate by making payments to the Payee's Representative.
[For any Payee who is shown in the Contract as having been paid, prior to the Annuity Commencement Date, Plan benefits over the amount owed under the Plan, such overpayments shall be deducted from the annuity payments otherwise owed to such persons pursuant to the Payment Terms of this Certificate. Nothing in the prior sentence shall relate to information that may have been misstated to us. Such misstatements are governed by the above Misstatements section.]D
[For any Payee who is shown in the Contract as having been paid, prior to the Annuity Commencement Date, Plan benefits that were less than the amount owed under the Plan, such underpayments shall be added to the annuity payments otherwise owed to such persons pursuant to the Payment Terms of this Certificate. Nothing in the prior sentence shall relate to information that may have been misstated to us. Such misstatements are governed by the above Misstatements section.]D
Certificate Errors and Replacement Certificate:
This Certificate replaces any certificate that you may have previously received with respect to Prudential's guarantee under the Contract. Please review this Certificate carefully and notify us promptly if you feel any information is incorrect. We are not bound by any incorrect information in this Certificate, nor are we bound by any other errors in this Certificate if clearly inconsistent with the terms of the Contract. We may instead continue to comply with the terms of the Contract as if the Certificate initially had been correctly issued. We may issue a corrected Certificate in the same manner the original Certificate was issued, but we will clearly indicate on the face of the new Certificate that it is a "CORRECTED AND REISSUED" Certificate (or other words to that effect).
If you exercise an option that changes your Form of Annuity, then a replacement certificate will be issued to you. The replacement certificate will describe the payments that you will receive under your changed Form of Annuity.
Entire Contract:
The Contract constitutes the entire agreement between the Contract-Holder and us solely with respect to the annuity payments owed to each payee under the Contract.
Appendix 1.3 - 38

Rights of Payees:

[Deductions from Annuity Payments:
You (or your Contingent Life) may request in writing in a manner specified by us that we deduct a specified amount each month from the amounts we pay to you (or your Contingent Life). The amounts will be applied for payment of your health care premiums and for payment of other benefits that were permitted to be deducted from Plan benefits governed by the Plan. Upon receipt by us of the request, the amount specified in the request shall, subject to our consent, be deducted each month. Deductions will end if we receive a request (in a manner specified by us) from you (or your Contingent Life) to do so. The amount deducted each month shall be transferred on your behalf (or your Contingent Life's behalf) as specified in the request. The amount transferred will be in full settlement of all of our obligations under the Contract with respect to the amount transferred. Deductions by us on your behalf (or on behalf of your Contingent Life) will begin or end, as the case may be, no earlier than the annuity payment that is due at least 30 days following our receipt of the request to begin or end deductions for you or your Contingent Life).] D

Upon a change in the requirements of applicable law or a regulation administered by a governmental agency, we may change the Contract and/or this Certificate. If a change is made, it may be done without the consent of the Payee. Any change will be made only as strictly necessary to satisfy the requirements of law or regulation.

This arbitration procedure applicable to any such Dispute is set forth in the paragraphs below. Nothing in these arbitration procedures will be deemed to expand or alter in any way the Parties' agreement as to the scope of permitted arbitration under Section 2.12.

2. | The arbitration shall be conducted by one arbitrator, in accordance with Commercial Arbitration Rules and Expedited Procedures for Large, Complex Commercial Disputes of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as such rules and procedures are in effect at the time of the arbitration, except as they may be modified herein or by mutual agreement of the Insurer and the Company. The seat of the arbitration shall be New York City, New York, at a mutually agreed upon location, or in the absence of agreement at the New York City offices of the AAA.

3. | The Company and the Insurer shall jointly engage an arbitrator, who shall be a partner at the Approved Firm-C, within 45 days after the Closing, on terms mutually agreed by the Company, the Insurer and the Approved Firm-C, provided that the engagement letter shall include an undertaking by the partner at such Approved Firm-C to comply with the time limits specified in this Appendix 2.12 and other customary terms. If the Insurer and the Company are unable to engage an arbitrator at the Approved Firm-C within 45 days following the Closing, which arbitrator agrees to undertake the arbitration within the time limits specified in this Appendix 2.12, then the AAA shall appoint an arbitrator within 5 Business Days thereafter from the National Roster list of Commercial Arbitrators identified in Rule R-11 of the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA (“AAA Commercial Rule R-11”) or from the Large, Complex Case Panel identified in Rule L-2 of the Large, Complex Commercial Disputes Procedures of the AAA (“AAA Complex Procedure Rule L-2”), without application of the other provisions of AAA Commercial Rule R-11 or AAA Complex Procedure Rule L-2.
