Commitment. 

 3.3 Deferral Period 
  

	 	(a)	General Rule. Once the Eligible Employee has completed a Participation Agreement with respect to an amount of Eligible Compensation, a new Deferral Period begins
on the first day of the Plan Year in which the Participant commences the services in respect of which the Eligible Compensation would otherwise be earned unless deferred pursuant to the terms of the Plan. Except as otherwise expressly provided

events, irrespective of the Participant’s election of a specified date, Retirement, January of the year following Retirement or Disability or Termination of Employment under this Section 3.3, payments shall commence under the Plan no later
than the last day of the Plan Year in which any such Participant has attained age 70 1/2, as determined under the books and records of the Company. 
  

	 	(b)	Special Transition Rule Elections. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.3(a), the Committee may permit any or all Participants, or any class of
Participants, to change either or both the Deferral Period and the distribution elections applicable to all or any specified portion of the Participant’s Post-2004 Account in accordance with, and not later than the latest date specified under,
the special transition relief applicable under the guidance promulgated under Section 409A of the Code. 








 3.4 Enrollment 
  

	 	(a)	General Rule. In order for an Eligible Employee to become a Participant under the Plan, the Eligible Employee must complete a Participation Agreement and submit
it to the Committee (or its representative, Corporate Compensation) in the time frame specified in Section 3.1(b). If a Participation Agreement is not received by such date, the Eligible Employee is deemed to have elected not to defer any
Eligible Compensation under the Plan for such subsequent Plan Year. Except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 3.3(b), once received by the Committee (or its representative, Corporate Compensation (including any Plan Administrator
designated by Corporate Compensation)), such election to defer Eligible Compensation is irrevocable by the Eligible Employee. 

  

	 	(b)	Effect of Enrollment in the Event of a Termination of Employment. Effective in respect of compensation payable for services to be commenced in Plan Years
beginning on or after January 1, 2008, if an otherwise Eligible Employee incurs a Termination of Employment after completing a Participation Agreement in respect of services to be performed commencing in such Plan Year, but prior to the
commencement of such Plan Year, such election for that Plan Year will be deemed null and void and no amounts will be credited to the Participant’s Account under the Plan. In the event that an Eligible Employee completed a Participation
Agreement and commenced the services to which such Eligible Compensation relates, such Participation Agreement will continue in full force and effect (to the extent the Participant is otherwise entitled to receive any compensation under the terms of
the plan(s) or agreement(s) governing the payment of such Eligible Compensation). Any amount credited to the Participant’s account following Termination of Employment shall be paid in accordance with the provisions of Article IV applicable with
respect to such Deferral Commitment. 

 3.5 Vesting

gains, losses and interest, may be greater or lesser than the amount of Eligible Compensation actually deferred under the Plan).

Section 4.1(d)) following his or her Termination of Employment (including, where applicable, Retirement)) or (ii) a distribution option (whether under the general rules or in connection with a Termination of Employment prior to
qualifying for Retirement) shall be deemed to have elected a single, lump sum payment.

Unforseeable Emergency and the taxes that would due upon such distribution or (ii) the excess of the Participant’s balance in his or her Pre-2005 Account as of the date of such withdrawal minus the amount, if any, of such balance deemed
invested in a Restricted Investment Option which is not then available for withdrawal due to the applicable restrictions or conditions on such Restricted Investment Option. In no event shall any financial need be deemed an Unforseeable Emergency to
the extent that the related financial need is or may be relieved through reimbursement or compensation from insurance or otherwise, by liquidation of the Participant’s assets, to the extent such liquidation would not itself cause severe
financial hardship (including, without limitation, distribution of any amount that is available for a Hardship Withdrawal from the Participant’s Pre-2005 Account), or by cessation of deferrals under the Plan. 
 The Participant will be required to produce any information that the Committee finds necessary or appropriate to make a determination of
whether the participant has a Financial Hardship or an Unforseeable Emergency. Any Hardship Withdrawal or withdrawal on an account of an Unforseeable Emergency shall be payable in a lump sum within 30 days of the date that the Committee shall have
determined that such a Hardship or Unforseeable Emergency exists which entitles a Participant to receive a distribution under this Section 4.3. 
 In the event the Participant receives a Hardship Withdrawal or a withdrawal with respect to an Unforseeable Emergency, the Participant will be precluded from deferring additional Eligible Compensation in
respect of services that would commence to be performed in the subsequent Plan Year. 







 4.4 Early Distribution With Penalty 
 A request for an Early Distribution With Penalty of the Participant’s Pre-2005 Account balance may be made by submitting a Deferred
Compensation Withdrawal Form at any time during a Plan Year. The amount distributed from the Pre-2005 Account will be reduced by a penalty of ten percent (10%) of the Account. For purposes of any such Early Distribution With Penalty, the
Account will be valued as of the date on which the request is received and will be paid in a lump sum within thirty (30) days of receipt by the Committee (or its representative, Corporate Compensation (including any Plan Administrator
designated by Corporate Compensation)) of such Withdrawal Form. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, in no event shall the distribution from the Pre-2005 Account for purposes of Early Distribution With Penalty include any amount that is
deemed invested in a Restricted Investment Option which is not then available for distribution due to applicable restrictions or conditions on such Restricted Investment Option. 
 If an Early Distribution With Penalty payment is made, the Participant will be precluded from deferring additional Eligible Compensation in
respect of services that would commence to be performed in the subsequent Plan Year. 
 Any penalty amounts withheld from the
Early Distribution With Penalty shall be returned to the Employer’s general assets. 
 4.5 Distributions on the Participant’s Death

 Notwithstanding the distribution and payment options elected or established hereunder (including, without limitation, the
distribution options elected or established in Section 4.1(e)), payment of the entire account balance in a single lump sum will be made to the Participant’s designated Beneficiary upon the Participant’s death. Should the
Participant’s death occur after monthly installments have already started in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Plan, the balance of the Participant’s account shall become due and payable in one single lump sum to the
Beneficiary within thirty (30) days of the Participant’s death. 
 4.6 Distributions on the Participant’s Disability

 Subject to Section 4.1(d), if applicable, should the Participant incur a Disability, payment(s) in the elected form
specified for General Distribution Options will begin within thirty (30) days of notification of the Participant’s Disability, except that, if Disability should occur after monthly installments have already started in accordance with the
applicable provisions of the Plan, payments will continue for the remainder of the elected installment period. This section shall not apply to the Post-2004 Account of any Insurance Sales Professional, which shall be governed by the provisions of
Section 4.1(e). 
 4.7 Distributions On the Participant’s Termination of Employment 
 Except as provided in this Section 4.7, in the event of a Participant’s Termination of Employment for any reason other than
Retirement, death, or Disability, distribution of any amounts in respect of a Deferral Commitment shall be made in connection with such Termination of Employment, in accordance with the distribution option applicable to such Deferral Commitment
pursuant to Section 4.1(c), regardless of whether the Participant had otherwise elected to commence payment of the Deferral Commitment at a fixed payment date that is after the date of such Termination of Employment. Notwithstanding the
immediately preceding sentence, if payment in respect of a Deferral Commitment were to have commenced as of fixed date specified by the Participant occurring prior to such Termination of Employment, distributions shall be made (or continue) in
respect of such Deferral Commitment on the basis otherwise elected by the Participant and without adjustment due to such Termination of Employment. This section shall not apply to the Post-2004 Account of any Insurance Sales Professional, which
shall be governed by the provisions of Section 4.1(e). 







 ARTICLE V—BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION 
 5.1 Beneficiary Designation 
 A Participant shall have the right, at any time, to designate one (1) or more persons or an entity as Beneficiary (both primary as well as secondary) to whom benefits under this Plan shall be paid in the event of Participant’s
death prior to complete distribution of the Participant’s Account. Each Beneficiary designation shall be in writing, on a form specified by the Committee (or its representative, Corporate Compensation), and shall be filed with the Committee (or
its representative, Corporate Compensation (including any Plan Administrator designated by Corporate Compensation)) during the Participant’s lifetime, and any such election shall apply to the Participant’s entire Account balance. If a
Participant fails to designate a Beneficiary or if a Beneficiary does not survive the Participant, payment will be made to the Participant’s estate in the event of the Participant’s death. 
 5.2 Changing Beneficiary 
 A
Participant may change his/her Beneficiary at any time by completing a Beneficiary designation, again in writing on a form specified by the Committee (or its representative, Corporate Compensation). The change will take effect only after it is
received by the Committee (or its representative, Corporate Compensation (including any Plan Administrator designated by Corporate Compensation)) and determined to be in good order. Any previous Beneficiary’s interest in the Participant’s
Account under the Plan will end as of the date the request is received and determined to be in good order, even if the Participant is not living when the request is received, and any such election to change Beneficiaries shall apply to the
Participant’s entire Account balance. 
 ARTICLE VI—ACCOUNTS 
 6.1 Participant Accounts 
 An Account shall be established on behalf of each Participant under the Plan, and all Eligible Compensation amounts that such Participant elects to defer under the terms of the Plan (as well as any Insurance Sales Professional Matching
Contribution) shall be credited in such Account at the time it would have otherwise been payable to the Participant (or, in the event of any Insurance Sales Professional Matching Contribution, when the Eligible Compensation related to such Matching
Contribution would have been payable to the Participant). In respect of any Participant who had an Account to which deferred Eligible Compensation had been credited in respect of any Plan Year prior to 2005, such Account shall be bifurcated into two
sub-accounts: the Pre-2005 Account and the Post-2004 Account. 
 6.2 Earnings Indices and Investment Options for Accounts 
 A Participant’s Account will be credited with notional interest, earnings (and, where applicable, notional investment gain or loss) that
are intended to mirror the investment performance and results of the indices/notional investment options selected by the Participant on the Participation Agreement beginning with the date of deferral (or, if attributable to Insurance Sales
Professional Matching Contributions, the date such amounts are credited to the Account) until such time as payment of the entire account balance is made. The Plan Administrator may from time to time designate one or more such indices/notional
investment options as a Restricted Investment Option, by specifying the restrictions or conditions that would be applicable with respect to notional investments thereunder. 
 For Plan Year 2000, the available notional investment options under the Plan are intended to mirror the performance of four of the
investment options available to participants of the Prudential








 
Employee Savings Plan in 2000, as follows: (a) the Fixed Rate Fund; (b) the Prudential Stock Index Fund; (c) the Prudential Balanced Fund; and (d) the Prudential Jennison
Growth Fund. For Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 2001, the available notional investment options under the Plan are intended to mirror the performance of all of the then-current investment options available to participants of the
Prudential Employee Savings Plan in such year. With respect to amounts deemed allocated to the notional Fixed Rate Fund under the Plan, such amounts will be credited with interest in the same general manner as interest would be credited to amounts
actually invested in the actual Fixed Rate Fund; with respect to amounts deemed allocated to the other notional investment options under the Plan, such amounts will be credited under the Plan as if the Participant had actually purchased units of
such separate account/mutual funds on the date of such deferral. To the extent that various actual investment options are added to, or removed from, the Prudential Employee Savings Plan, comparable changes shall be made in the available notional
investment options under this Plan, and any such changes shall be communicated to Participants as soon as administratively practicable. 
 A Participant may elect any combination of the available notional investment options; provided, however, that the Participant’s allocation of his or her account must be stated in five percent
(5%) increments. 
 6.3 Changing Indices 
 A Participant may change how the notional amounts reflected in his or her Account are deemed invested by completing an Account Reallocation Form. Such deemed investment allocations may be changed
periodically, and in no event less than once per calendar quarter. Effective with the 2002 Plan Year, allocations may be changed monthly and changes will be effective on the first day of the following month. 
 To the extent that additions to, or subtractions from, the number of indices/notional investment options are made under this Plan,
Participants will be asked to complete an Account Reallocation Form to indicate if they wish to reallocate their notional Account balances. In the event no such Form is received, no changes to the Participant’s Account will be made except that,
in the event a particular indices/notional investment option is eliminated and no Form has been completed, the notional amounts credited in such eliminated index shall be credited under the notional Fixed Account Fund as of the date of such
elimination (or as soon as administratively practicable thereafter). 
 6.4 Account Valuation and Reports 
  

	 	(a)	Periodic Account Valuation. For purposes of Account recordkeeping, periodic updates of the notional value of each Participant’s Account (and of the
aggregate unfunded liabilities of the Plan as a whole) shall be made at the direction of the Committee (in any event, no less frequently than as of the end of each calendar quarter). With respect to any distribution for a Participant’s Account
as provided for in Article IV of the Plan, the aggregate value of any such distribution shall be calculated by reference to the notional value of the Account as of the last day of the month prior to the month in which such distribution is either
anticipated to commence (including after giving effect to the provisions of Section 4.1(d)). 

  

	 	(b)	Participant Statements. Quarterly statements illustrating Participant Account balances, including any notional gains or losses in such Accounts, shall be made
available to Participants as soon as practicable after the end of each calendar year quarter, in a form and manner prescribed by the Committee. 








 ARTICLE VII—ADMINISTRATION 
 7.1 Administration of the Plan 
 The Vice President – Compensation of the Company shall be deemed to be the committee appointed to administer the Plan (the “Committee”). The Committee shall maintain such procedures and records as will enable the Committee to
determine the Participants and their Beneficiaries who are entitled to receive benefits under the Plan and the amounts thereof. Further, the Committee may elect to delegate its administrative responsibilities under the Plan (including, but not
limited to, the distribution of Participation Agreements and the monitoring of the various recordkeeping services related to Accounts under the Plan) to, among other entities, the Corporate Compensation unit of the Company’s Human Resources
function (“Corporate Compensation”). To the degree the delegation of such responsibilities is specifically referenced under the terms of the Plan, the Committee shall be deemed to have so elected to delegate such responsibilities to
Corporate Compensation. 
 7.2 General Powers of Administration 
 Subject to oversight by the Compensation Committee of the Board, the Committee shall have the exclusive right, power, and authority, in its
sole, full and absolute discretion, to interpret any and all of the provisions of the Plan, to supervise the administration and operation of the Plan, and to consider and decide conclusively any questions (whether of fact or otherwise) arising in
connection with the administration of the Plan or any claim for benefits arising under the Plan. Any decision or action of the Committee shall be conclusive and binding on all parties, including the Participants. 
 ARTICLE VIII—AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF PLAN 
 8.1 Amendment of the Plan 
  

	 	(a)	General. The Committee shall have the authority to adopt minor amendments to the Plan without prior approval by the Compensation Committee of the Board that:


  

	 	(i)	are necessary or advisable for purposes of complying with applicable laws and regulations; 

  

	 	(ii)	relate to administrative practices under the Plan; 

  

	 	(iii)	relate to the selection or deletion of additional notional investment options for Participants in their accounts; or 

  

	 	(iv)	have an insubstantial financial effect on the Plan. 

 The Compensation Committee of the Board shall have the authority to adopt any other amendments to the Plan not encompassed under the terms of the preceding sentence. Any such amendments must be made by
written instrument, and notice of such amendments shall be provided as soon as practicable to Participants after their adoption. 
 (b) Amendments Related to Certain Corporate Transactions. Without limiting the provisions of Section 8.1(a) above, in the event of a corporate transaction or transactions involving the sale, spin-off or other disposition of
assets or equity interests in the Employer or any Participating Subsidiary to an unaffiliated entity (“Third Party Acquirer”) and which, as a result of such transaction or transactions, it is anticipated that Participants may be
transferred to, or be employed by, the Third Party Acquirer or other entities which, as a result of such transaction, are no longer affiliated with the Employer (the “Transferred Participants”), the Company may amend the Plan to provide
for the transfer of Account liabilities rather than the distribution of Account balances to such affected Participants in accordance with the terms of Section 4.1(c) and 4.7, as follows: 
  

	 	(i)	Both the Employer (or, if relevant, the Participating Subsidiary) and the Third Party Acquirer must agree to the transfer of Account liabilities with respect to all of
the Transferred Participants transferred to, or employed by, the Third Party Acquirer or its affiliates; and 









	 	(ii)	The Third Party Acquirer must agree to establish a new plan (or modify an existing deferred compensation plan) (the “Transferee Plan”), on or prior to the
corporate transaction and the transfer of Account liabilities pertaining to the Transferred Participants that, in a form satisfactory to the Employer, provides, among other things, for: 

  

	 	(A)	the assumption by the Transferee Plan of all applicable terms (other than notional investment options) of such Transferred Participant’s Participation Agreements
with respect to any amounts deferred or credited under the Plan on or prior to the effective date of such Account transfer; 

  

	 	(B)	the provision of at least equivalent notional investment options to those offered under the Plan to Participants as of the proposed date of Account liability transfer;
and 

  

	 	(C)	the assumption of (and indemnification by) the Third Party Acquirer of the Company, Employer and all Participating Subsidiaries (including their agents, employees,
officers and other representatives) of any and all liabilities relating to such Transferred Participants’ Account liability transferred from the Plan to the Transferee Plan (including, but not limited to, assumption of the Employer’s
responsibility under Section 8.3 of the Plan through the adoption of identical language in the Transferee’s Plan effective as of the transfer of such Account liabilities). 

 8.2 Termination of the Plan 
 The Company reserves the right to terminate the Plan in any respect and at any time and may do so pursuant to a written resolution of the Compensation Committee of the Board. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no termination of the Plan shall
accelerate or otherwise change the time at which, or the form in which, amounts are distributable hereunder, unless such acceleration or other change can be effected in connection with such termination without causing all or any portion of such
amounts to be subject to the additional rate of tax imposed under Section 409A of the Code. 
 8.3 Limitations on Amendment or
Termination of the Plan 
 Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary set forth in the Plan, any amendment or termination
of the Plan may not adversely affect the rights of any Participant or Beneficiary to receive the amount of benefits earned and accrued under the Plan prior to such amendment or termination; provided, however, that 
  

	 	(a)	any amendment satisfying the terms of Section 8.1(b); 

  

	 	(b)	any alteration of the notional investment options under the Plan as set forth under Section 8.1(a), 









	 	(c)	any acceleration of payments of amounts accrued under the Plan by operation of the Plan’s terms; or 

  

	 	(d)	any decision by the Committee or the Compensation Committee to limit participation (or other features of the Plan) prospectively under the Plan


 shall not be deemed to violate this provision. 
 ARTICLE IX—MISCELLANEOUS 
 9.1 Unfunded Plan/ Participant’s Rights Unsecured
and Unfunded 
 This Plan is an unfunded plan maintained primarily to provide deferred compensation benefits for a select
group of management or highly-compensated employees within the meaning of Sections 201,301 and 401 of ERISA, and therefore is exempt from the provisions of Parts 2,3 and 4 of Title I of ERISA. Accordingly, no assets of the Company shall be
segregated or earmarked to represent the liability for accrued benefits under the Plan. Amounts referenced in Participant Account statements are only recordkeeping devices reflecting such liability for accrued benefits, and do not reflect any actual
amounts credited. The right of a Participant (or his or her Beneficiary) to receive a payment hereunder shall be an unsecured claim against the general assets of the Company. All payments under the Plan shall be made from the general funds of the
Company. The Company is not required to set aside money or any other property to fund its obligations under the Plan, and all amounts that may be set aside by the Company prior to the distribution of Account balances under the terms of the Plan
remain the property of the Company. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 9.1 shall preclude the
Company, in its sole discretion, after the Effective Date, from establishing a “rabbi trust” or other vehicle in connection with the operation of this Plan, provided that no such action shall cause the Plan to fail to be an unfunded plan
designed to provide deferred compensation benefits for a select group of management or highly-compensated employees for purposes within the meaning of Title I of ERISA. 
 9.2 Plan Is Not a Contract of Employment 
 This Plan shall not constitute a
contract of employment between the Employer and/or any Participating Subsidiary and the Participant. Nothing in this Plan shall give a Participant the right to be retained in the service of the Employer or to interfere with the right of the Employer
to discipline or discharge a Participant at any time. 
 9.3 Notice 
 Any notice required or permitted under the Plan shall be sufficient if in writing and hand delivered, sent by first class, registered or
certified mail, or by such other means as the Committee, in its sole discretion, may deem appropriate. Such notice shall be deemed as given as of the date of delivery or, if delivery is made by mail, as of the date shown on the postmark or on the
receipt for registration or certification. Mailed notice to the Committee shall be directed to the Company’s address, c/o Corporate Compensation. Mailed notice to a Participant or Beneficiary shall be directed to the individual’s last
known home or office address in Employer’s records. 
 9.4 No Guarantee of Benefits 
 Nothing contained in the Plan shall constitute a guaranty by the Employer or any other person or entity that the assets of the Company will
be sufficient to pay any benefit hereunder. 







 9.5 Non-Alienation Provision 
 No interest of any person or entity in, or right to receive a benefit or distribution under, the Plan shall be subject in any manner to sale,
transfer, assignment, pledge, attachment, garnishment, or other alienation or encumbrance of any kind; nor may such interest or right to receive a distribution be taken, either voluntarily or involuntarily for the satisfaction of the debts of, or
other obligations or claims against, such person or entity, including claims for alimony, support, separate maintenance and claims in bankruptcy proceedings. 
 9.6 Applicable Law 
 The Plan shall be construed and administered under the
laws of the State of New Jersey, except to the extent that such laws are preempted by ERISA. 
 9.7 Taxes 
 To the extent required by law, amounts accrued under the Plan shall be subject to federal and state income, federal social security and
federal or state unemployment taxes during the year the services giving rise to such amounts were performed (or, if later, when the amounts are both determinable and not subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture). The Company, the Employer or the
Participating Subsidiary (as applicable) shall withhold from any payments made pursuant to the Plan such amounts as may be required by federal, state or local law, and the Company, the Employer or the Participating Subsidiary (as applicable) further
reserves the right: (a) to limit or reduce the amounts intended to be deferred under the terms of the Plan as may be necessary or appropriate in order to ensure that any required tax withholdings can be deducted; and/or (b) to require the
Participant to pay any taxes owed on such amounts through payroll deduction. 
 9.8 Excess Payments 
 If the compensation, years of service, age, or any other relevant fact relating to any person is found to have been misstated, the Plan
benefit payable by the Company to a Participant or Beneficiary shall be the Plan benefit which would have been provided on the basis of the correct information. Any excess payments due to such misstatement, or due to any other mistake of fact or
law, shall be refunded to the Company or withheld by it from any further amounts otherwise payable under the Plan. 
 9.9 No Impact on Other
Benefits 
 Amounts deferred and accrued under the Plan shall not be included in a Participant’s compensation for
purposes calculating benefits under any other plan, program or arrangement sponsored by the Employer or Participating Subsidiary, unless such plan, program or arrangement so provides. 
 9.10 Data 
 Each Participant or Beneficiary shall furnish the Committee with
all proofs of dates of birth and death and proofs of continued existence necessary for the administration of the Plan, and the Company shall not be liable for the fulfillment of any Plan benefits in any way dependent upon such information unless and
until the same shall have been received by the Committee in a form satisfactory to it. 







 9.11 Incapacity of Recipient 
 If a Participant or other Beneficiary entitled to a distribution under the Plan is living under guardianship or conservatorship,
distributions payable under the terms of the Plan to such Participant or Beneficiary shall be paid to his or her appointed guardian or conservator and such payment shall be a complete discharge of any liability of the Company, the Employer and the
Participating Subsidiary (as the case may be) under the Plan. 
 9.12 Usage of Terms and Headings 
 Words in the masculine gender shall include the feminine and the singular shall include the plural, and vice versa, unless qualified by the
context. Any headings are included for ease of reference only, and are not to be construed to alter the terms of the Plan. 







 Exhibit A — Certain Employee Transfers 
 Transfer of Employees from the Company to Jennison Associates During Plan Year 2000 
 With respect to any Employee that (a) was transferred from the Company to Jennison Associates (a subsidiary of the Company that is not
a Participating Subsidiary) in Plan Year 2000 pursuant to the transfer of the Company’s public equity management unit to Jennison Associates and (b) that would otherwise have been treated as an “Eligible Employee” as defined
under the Plan but for such transfer, such Employees shall continue to be eligible to submit a Participation Agreement to defer Eligible Compensation (as generally defined in Section 3.2(a) of the Plan) that would otherwise be payable to such
Employees in Plan Year 2001 pursuant to the terms of the Plan. Once such deferrals are made, such affected Employees will be treated as Employees who have transferred employment from the Company to a subsidiary or affiliate of the Company that is
not a Participating Subsidiary, and the general provisions of the Plan will continue to be in full force and effect.
