(b)If the Company either (i) provides notice to the Insurer and the Independent Fiduciary pursuant to Section 6.5(e), or (ii) 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

Section 6.7Administrative 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 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) 

NYI-4483146v3                         57

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 6.8Compliance 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 DTFA Execution Date, 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 6.9Pre-Closing Meeting.  No earlier than fifteen 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.

Section 6.10Non-Solicitation.  From and after the DTFA Execution Date and through the earlier to occur of the Closing Date or the termination of this Agreement, the Company shall not and shall cause any Representatives of the Company not to (a) solicit, initiate or knowingly facilitate any Alternative Transaction Proposal or the making or consummation thereof, (b) enter into any agreement, letter of intent, agreement in principle or other similar instrument with respect to any Alternative Transaction Proposal, (c) continue or otherwise participate in any discussions (except, in response to an inquiry by any Person, to notify such Person of the existence of the provisions of this Section 6.10) or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any Person any information in connection with, any Alternative Transaction Proposal, or (d) enter into or amend any agreement or other arrangement to engage any Person (including the Independent Fiduciary) to solicit any Alternative Transaction Proposal.  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 restrict (i) any alternative arrangements with respect to the treatment of Contract 300 Article A and Contract 300 Article M, or (ii) the

Section 7.10Transferred [**********]  For each [**********] that the Plan Trustee transfers to the Insurer in satisfaction of the Promissory Note, the Parties agree that (a) subject to the terms of this Agreement (including Sections 2.23, 2.24 and 7.9), the Insurer hereby assumes, as of 12:01 a.m. on the date of transfer, the Transferred Liabilities associated with such [**********] and (b) for purposes of this Agreement such [**********] will be valued in accordance with the procedures set forth in Appendix 2.6.

Section 9.1Indemnification by the Insurer.  From and after the Closing, the Insurer will indemnify, defend and hold the Company, the Plan and their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, stockholders, employees, agents and other Representatives (each, an “Indemnified Party”) harmless from and against any and all Liabilities (in each case, including reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) to the extent arising out 

NYI-4483146v3                         65

of or relating to the portion of any action, lawsuit, proceeding, investigation, demand or other claim against the Indemnified Party by a third party (such portion being a “Third Party Claim”) that is threatened or brought against or that involves an Indemnified Party and that arises out of or relates to any failure by the Insurer to perform or comply with the terms of the Group Annuity Contract (including the restatement of Contract 300 Article P), including making the payments in respect of the Covered Lives, Contingent Lives or Beneficiaries to be made pursuant to the Group Annuity Contract.

Section 9.2Procedures For Indemnification Claims.

(a)Any Indemnified Party making a claim for indemnification for Third Party Claims under Section 9.1 shall notify the Insurer of each Third Party Claim in writing promptly after receiving notice of such, describing the Third Party Claim, the amount thereof (if known and quantifiable) and the basis thereof in reasonable detail; provided that, the failure to so notify the Insurer shall not relieve the Insurer of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that (and only to the extent that) such failure shall have caused 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.

(d)If the Insurer has not assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim after notice thereof, (i) the Indemnified Party may defend against the Third Party Claim in any manner it reasonably determines to be appropriate; (ii) the Insurer shall reimburse the Indemnified Party promptly and periodically for the costs of defending against the Third Party Claim (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses allocable to such 

NYI-4483146v3                         66

Third Party Claim) to the extent such costs are Losses for which the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder; and (iii) the Insurer shall remain responsible for any costs the Indemnified Party may incur resulting from the Third Party Claim to the extent such costs are Losses for which the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder.  If the Indemnified Party has not assumed the defense of an Uncovered Claim as contemplated by Section 9.2(c)(ii), the Insurer is not responsible in any way for any Liabilities or Orders resulting from not responding to or defending such Uncovered Claim; provided that the Insurer's responsibility for Third Party Claims shall not be altered in any way.

Section 9.3Claims and Payment; Treatment of Payments.  On each occasion that any Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification under this Article IX, the Insurer shall, at each such time, promptly pay the amount of such indemnification within ten (10) Business Days following receipt of an invoice for out-of-pocket expense, fees or other amounts for which it is liable under this Article IX.  Any indemnification payments made pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated for tax purposes as an adjustment to the Final Premium, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

Section 11.6Governing 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 11.7Submission 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 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 

NYI-4483146v3                         72

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 11.8Waivers 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.

(A) means that a Covered Life (such Covered Life being “you” or “your”) is shown on the Annuity Exhibits 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 Annuity Exhibits), 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 either that (1) such Contingent Life will not be entitled to any portion of the Contingent Life Amount when you die or (2) such Contingent Life is entitled to a reduced portion of the Contingent Life Amount when you die.

You must provide us with notarized consent of your Contingent Life on 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. If we request, you must provide us with satisfactory proof of the good health of your Contingent Life before the option may be exercised.

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 option may be exercised.

Note that this option is limited to the situations described above. 

If your Annuity Form is the Spousal Joint and Survivor Life Annuity and if you have not been divorced from your Contingent Life since your Original Retirement Date, you cannot exercise this option. 

If you exercise the General Conversion Option and convert your Annuity Form to a Single Life Annuity, then the Contingent Life will not be entitled to any portion of the Contingent Life Amount when you die.  You may later convert your Single Life Annuity into a Spousal Joint and Survivor Life Annuity if (i) you meet Conversion Conditions (B), (C) and (D) of the Post-Retirement Marriage Conversion Option and (ii) you are not shown on the Annuity Exhibits as someone who retired from Vested Terminated status or rejected Surviving Spouse Coverage at retirement.

If you exercise the General Conversion Option and retain your Annuity Form, then the Contingent Life will be entitled to a reduced portion of the Contingent Life Amount after you die as provided under the QDRO.  You may later exercise the Post-Retirement Marriage Conversion Option if (i) you meet Conversion Conditions (B), (C) and (D) and (ii) you are not shown on the Annuity Exhibits as someone who retired from Vested 

12

CONFIDENTIAL

Terminated status or rejected Surviving Spouse Coverage at retirement. However, the Contingent Life Amount payable after your death to your new spouse will be offset by the Contingent Life Amount payable to your former spouse.

(B) You became married for the first time, or became re-married, after [June 30, 2011]E, 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. 

If you exercise the Post-Retirement Marriage Conversion Option and you convert your Part A Basic Amount of your monthly payment into a Spousal Joint and Survivor Life Annuity, you may later convert your Spousal Joint and Survivor Life Annuity into a Single Life Annuity if you (i) meet Conversion Condition (B) of the General Conversion Option and (ii) you are not shown on the Annuity Exhibits as someone who retired from Vested Terminated status.

“Conversion Options” means, if the “Disabled Age 55 Conversion Option,” the “General Conversion Option,” and/or the “Post-Retirement Marriage Conversion Option” is specified in the Annuity Exhibits as applicable to a Covered Life, 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 a Covered Life is specified in the Annuity Exhibits 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 Life 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 Annuity Exhibits).  The second number equals your Disability Temporary Amount (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).
 

13

CONFIDENTIAL

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 Amount 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. 

(ii)  “General Conversion Option” means, if a Covered Life is specified in the Annuity Exhibits as having a “General” Conversion Option and also as receiving a distribution of one of the following Annuity Forms:

Spousal Joint and Survivor Life Annuity
Contingent Joint and Survivor Life Annuity

then such option is available to the Covered Life (“you” or “your”).

The option allows you to either (1) convert your Annuity Form into a Single Life Annuity Form or (2) retain your Annuity Form and provide for payment to your Contingent Life of the reduced amount provided under a QDRO.  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. 

If you exercise the option to convert your Annuity Form into a Single Life Annuity Form, 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.   

If you exercise the option to retain your Annuity Form and provide for payment to your Contingent Life of a reduced amount as provided under a QDRO, we will not increase the Covered Life Amount payable to you.  If you later exercise the Post-Retirement Marriage Conversion Option under Conversion Conditions (B), (C) and (D), the Contingent Life Amount payable after your 

14

CONFIDENTIAL

death to your new spouse will be offset by the Contingent Life Amount payable to your former spouse.

(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 Part A Basic 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.

This factor is rounded to three decimal places.

"Spousal Joint & Survivor Life Annuity Pop-Up Decrease Factor" is equal to 1 minus the result of the following calculation

Then upon the death of the spousal Contingent Life, we will increase the Covered Life Amount. The amount of the increase, and the conditions to such increased payment, are specified in the related Annuity Form.

If your Covered Life Amount is increased due to the death of your spousal Contingent Life, the Part A Basic Amount portion of your Annuity will convert to a Single Life Annuity.  You may later convert that Single Life Annuity into a Spousal Joint and Survivor Life Annuity if you (i) meet Conversion Conditions (B), (C) and (D) of the Post-Retirement Marriage Conversion Option and (ii) you are not shown on the Annuity Exhibits as someone who retired from Vested Terminated status.

	2.3
	Annuity Forms

(i) “Contingent Joint and Survivor Life Annuity with or without Refund Death Benefit Rider, and/or Special Benefit Rider and/or Level Benefit Rider” means the following for each Covered Life identified in the Annuity Exhibits as receiving a distribution of a “Contingent Life - J&S” Annuity Form with or without a “Refund Death Benefit Rider,” and/or a “Special Benefit Rider” and/or a “Level Benefit Rider,” respectively.  “You” and “your” refers to each such Covered Life:

If the Annuity Exhibits specify that you have a Conversion Option to cancel this Annuity Form and a qualified domestic relations order does not provide otherwise, 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.

During your lifetime, we will make monthly payments to you equal to your Covered Life Amount.  We will make monthly payments on the first day of each month.  We owe the first monthly payment on the Annuity Commencement Date.  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 Annuity Exhibits) is alive when you die.  We will make 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 Contingent Life Amount.

18

CONFIDENTIAL

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 amount (A) multiplied by the sum of (B) and (C), where:

(A) is the Total Plan Refund Death Benefit (as specified in the Annuity Exhibits) less the sum of both (i) and (ii) below paid 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):
(i) is the Pre 1985 Part B Primary Amount (as specified in the Annuity Exhibits) multiplied by three.
(ii) is the Post 1985 Part B Primary Amount (as specified in the Annuity Exhibits), 
(B) is the Pre 1985 Death Benefit Percentage (as specified in the Annuity Exhibits) multiplied by one-third, and
		
	(C)
	is one minus the Pre 1985 Death Benefit Percentage.

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”).  "Sixty-two years and one month (62+1)" means the first of the month coincident with or next following the date that the Covered Life turns age 62 and one month. However, a Covered Life who is born on the second day of the month will be treated as if he or she were born on the first day of such month.

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. 

If you have a Special Benefit Rider (as specified in the Annuity Exhibits), then the “Covered Life Amount” will be increased after your sixty-fifth (65th) birthday.  The increase will start on the later of the Annuity Commencement Date and the first day of the month in which you attain age 65.  However, if your 65th birthday falls on the first of a month, the increase will start on the later of the Annuity Commencement Date and the first day of the month before the month in which you attain age 65.  The amount of the increase will be the amount specified as the “Special Benefit Amount” 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.  The increase will start on the later of the Annuity Commencement Date and the first day of the month in which you attain age 65.  However, if your 65th birthday falls on the first of a month, the increase will start on the later of the Annuity Commencement Date and the first day of the month before the month in which you attain age 65.  The amount of the increase will be the amount specified as the “Level Benefit Amount” in the 

19

CONFIDENTIAL

Annuity Exhibits.  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 Amount” as specified in the Annuity Exhibits, 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 Annuity Exhibits for your Annuity Form as the “Contingent Life Amount.”

If your Contingent Life is your spouse and has a Special Benefit Rider, then the “Contingent Life Amount” will be increased.  The increase will start on the later of the date that monthly payments begin to your Contingent Life and the first day of the month in which your Contingent Life attains age 65.  However, if your Contingent Life attains age 65 on the first of a month, the increase will start on the later of the date that monthly payments begin to your Contingent Life and the first day of the month before the month in which your Contingent Life attains age 65.  The amount of the increase will be the amount specified as the “Special Benefit Amount” in the Annuity Exhibits.  

If your Contingent Life has a Level Benefit Rider, then the “Contingent Life Amount” will be increased.  The increase will start on the later of the date that monthly payments begin to your Contingent Life and the first day of the month in which your Contingent Life attains age 65.  However, if your Contingent Life attains age 65 on the first of a month, the increase will start on the later of the date that monthly payments begin to your Contingent Life and the first day of the month before such 65th birthday.  The amount of the increase will be the amount specified as the “Level Benefit Amount” in the Annuity Exhibits. 

(ii) “Period Certain Annuity” means the following for each Covered Life identified in the Annuity Exhibits as receiving a distribution of a “Period Certain Only” Annuity Form.  “You” and “your” refers to each such Covered Life.

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 make 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 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.

“Covered Life Amount” means an amount that is specified in the Annuity Exhibits for your Annuity Form as the “Covered Life Amount.”

(iii) “Single Life and Period Certain Annuity” means the following for each Covered Life identified in the Annuity Exhibits as receiving a distribution of a “Life & Period Certain”.  “You” and “your” refers to each such Covered Life.

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 make 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. 

We will then compare the number of monthly payments we make to you after the Annuity Commencement Date to the Guaranteed Number of Payments specified for you in the Annuity Exhibits.  If the number of monthly payments is less than such guaranteed number, we will make additional payments to the designated Beneficiary for your Annuity Form.  These payments 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 Annuity Exhibits for your Annuity Form as the “Covered Life Amount.”

We do not owe any payments to anyone under this Annuity Form if you have died before the Annuity Commencement Date. 

If the Annuity Exhibits specify 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. 

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 make 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 amount (A) multiplied by the sum of (B) and (C), where:

(A) is the Total Plan Refund Death Benefit (as specified in the Annuity Exhibits) less the sum of both (i) and (ii) below paid 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):
(i) is the Pre 1985 Part B Primary Amount (as specified in the Annuity Exhibits) multiplied by three.
(ii) is the Post 1985 Part B Primary Amount (as specified in the Annuity Exhibits), 

21

CONFIDENTIAL

(B) is the Pre 1985 Death Benefit Percentage (as specified in the Annuity Exhibits) multiplied by one-third, and
(C) is one minus the Pre 1985 Death Benefit Percentage.

For a Single Life Annuity, the following amounts, names, or values are also specified in the Annuity Exhibits:

“Covered Life Amount” depends on whether you are younger or older than sixty-two years and one month (“62 + 1”).  "Sixty-two years and one month (62+1)" means the first of the month coincident with or next following the date that the Covered Life turns age 62 and one month. However, a Covered Life who is born on the second day of the month will be treated as if he or she were born on the first day of such month.

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” specified in the Annuity Exhibit for such Covered Life 

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 the later of the Annuity Commencement Date and the first day of the month in which you attain age 65.  However, if your 65th birthday falls on the first of a month, the increase will start on the later of the Annuity Commencement Date and the first day of the month before the month in which you attain age 65.  The amount of the increase will be the amount specified as the “Special Benefit Amount” in the Annuity Exhibits. 

If you have a Level Benefit Rider, then the “Covered Life Amount” will be increased.  The increase will start on the later of the Annuity Commencement Date and the first day of the month in which you attain age 65.  However, if your 65th birthday falls on the first of a month, the increase will start on the later of the Annuity Commencement Date and the first day of the month before the month in which you attain age 65.  The amount of the increase will be the amount specified as the “Level Benefit Amount” in the Annuity Exhibits.  

If a portion of your Pre 62+1 Covered Life Amount is attributable to “Disability Temporary Amount” as specified in the Annuity Exhibits, 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.  

The Annuity Exhibits 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 be the amount specified as the “Level Benefit Amount” in the Annuity Exhibits.

We do not owe any payments to the Covered Life under this Annuity Form if the person dies before the Annuity Commencement Date.

If the Annuity Exhibits specify 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. 

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 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 amount (A) multiplied by the sum of (B) and (C), where:

(A) is the Total Plan Refund Death Benefit (as specified in the Annuity Exhibits) less the sum of both (i) and (ii) below paid 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):

(ii) is the Post 1985 Part B Primary Amount (as specified in the Annuity Exhibits), 
(B) is the Pre 1985 Death Benefit Percentage (as specified in the Annuity Exhibits) multiplied by one-third, and
(C) is one minus the Pre 1985 Death Benefit Percentage.

For a Spousal 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”).  "Sixty-two years and one month (62+1)" means the first of the month coincident with or next following the 

23

CONFIDENTIAL

date that the Covered Life turns age 62 and one month. However, a Covered Life who is born on the second day of the month will be treated as if he or she were born on the first day of such month.

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” specified in the Annuity Exhibit for such Covered Life. 

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 the later of the Annuity Commencement Date and the first day of the month in which you attain age 65.  However, if your 65th birthday falls on the first of a month, the increase will start on the later of the Annuity Commencement Date and the first day of the month before the month in which you attain age 65.  The amount of the increase will be the amount specified as the “Special Benefit Amount” in the Annuity Exhibits.  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.  The increase will start on the later of the Annuity Commencement Date and the first day of the month in which you attain age 65.  However, if your 65th birthday falls on the first of a month, the increase will start on the later of the Annuity Commencement Date and the first day of the month before the month in which you attain age 65.  The amount of the increase will be the amount specified as the “Level Benefit Amount” in the Annuity Exhibits. 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 Annuity Exhibits.  If the Annuity Exhibits misstate your age or the age of your Contingent Life, 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 Annuity Exhibits multiplied by the Spousal Joint and Survivor Life Annuity Pop-Up Increase Factor. 

If a portion of your Pre 62+1 Covered Life Amount is attributable to a “Disability Temporary Amount” as specified in the Annuity Exhibits, then the following applies.

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 

26

CONFIDENTIAL

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 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 

27

CONFIDENTIAL

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 the Covered Life's spouse if living, otherwise to the estate of the last surviving recipient of the annuity payments or a Representative thereof.

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 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. 

28

CONFIDENTIAL

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 Life (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 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.

	[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

OCC-RL300-WindowSingleLife                                    Window Single Life Annuity

CONFIDENTIAL

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:

“Window 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.  

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 make 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 amount (A) multiplied by the sum of (B) and (C) where:

(A) is the Total Plan Refund Death Benefit (as specified in the Table of Information) less the sum of both (i) and (ii) below paid after the Annuity Commencement Date to you, (or to any related alternate payee, arising, for example, from a domestic relations order):
(i) is the Pre 1985 Part B Primary Amount (as specified in the Table of Information) multiplied by three.
(ii) is the Post 1985 Part B Primary Amount (as specified in the Table of Information), 
(B) is the Pre 1985 Death Benefit Percentage (as specified in the Table of Information) multiplied by one-third, and
(C) is one minus the Pre 1985 Death Benefit Percentage.

“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."

OCC-RL300-WindowSingleLife                    2            Window Single Life Annuity

CONFIDENTIAL

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.  

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 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 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. 

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 

OCC-RL300-WindowSingleLife                    3            Window Single Life Annuity

CONFIDENTIAL

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.   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.

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

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 you 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 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 make 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 amount (A) multiplied by the sum of (B) and (C), where:

(A) is the Total Plan Refund Death Benefit (as specified in the Table of Information) less the sum of both (i) and (ii) below paid 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):
     (i) is the Pre 1985 Part B Primary Amount (as specified in the Table of Information) multiplied by three.
(ii) is the Post 1985 Part B Primary Amount (as specified in the Table of Information), 
(B) is the Pre 1985 Death Benefit Percentage (as specified in the Table of Information) multiplied by one-third, and
(C) is one minus the Pre 1985 Death Benefit Percentage.

“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.

CONFIDENTIAL

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.
 
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:

OCC-RL300-WindowJ&S                      4            Window Spousal J&S Life Annuity

CONFIDENTIAL

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 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 

OCC-RL300-WindowJ&S                      5            Window Spousal J&S Life Annuity

CONFIDENTIAL

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.  

Prudential Telephone Number:

The Prudential Insurance Company of America
[1-800-621-1089]C 

To contact us, please use the above-listed telephone number.

[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 

Additional Details:

This Certificate contains a summary of certain important terms of the Contract.  The Contract contains a more complete description of your rights and Prudential's obligations. The Contract will control in the event of a conflict between the terms of this Certificate and the terms of the Contract.    

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.

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 amount (A) multiplied by the sum of (B) and (C) where:

OCC-RL300-SpousalJ&S                     3                          Spousal Joint and Survivor Life Annuity

CONFIDENTIAL

(A) is the Total Plan Refund Death Benefit (as specified in the Table of Information) less the sum of both (i) and (ii) below paid 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):
(i) is the Pre 1985 Part B Primary Amount (as specified in the Table of Information) multiplied by three.
(ii) is the Post 1985 Part B Primary Amount (as specified in the Table of Information), 
(B) is the Pre 1985 Death Benefit Percentage (as specified in the Table of Information) multiplied by one-third, and
(C) is one minus the Pre 1985 Death Benefit Percentage.    

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”). 62+1 means the first of the month coincident with or next following the date that the Covered Life turns age 62 and one month. However, a Covered Life who is born on the second day of the month will be treated as if he or she were born on the first day of such month.
		
	•
	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 the later of the Annuity Commencement Date and the first day of the month in which you attain age 65.  However, if your 65th birthday falls on the first of a month, the increase will start on the later of the Annuity Commencement Date and the first day of the month before the month in which you attain age 65.  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.  The increase will start on the later of the Annuity Commencement Date and the first day of the month in which you attain age 65.  However, if your 65th birthday falls on the first of a month, the increase will start on the later of the Annuity Commencement Date and the first day of the month before the month in which you attain age 65.  The amount of the increase will be the amount specified as the “Level Benefit Amount” in the Table of Information. 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 you or 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 your Covered Life Amount is increased due to the death of your spousal Contingent Life, the Part A Basic Amount portion of your Annuity will convert to a Single Life Annuity.  You may later convert that Single Life Annuity into a Spousal Joint and Survivor Life Annuity if (i) you meet all of the following Post-Retirement Marriage Conversion Option conditions and (ii) you are not shown on the Table of Information as someone who retired from Vested Terminated status:

(A) You became married for the first time, or became re-married, after [June 30, 2011] E, and 
 
(B) You exercise this option within 18-months after such marriage or re-marriage, and 

(C) You supply us with evidence of such marriage or re-marriage. 

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 

OCC-RL300-SpousalJ&S                     4                          Spousal Joint and Survivor Life Annuity

CONFIDENTIAL

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.  The increase will start on the later of the date that monthly payments begin to your Contingent Life and the first day of the month in which your Contingent Life attains age 65.  However, if your Contingent Life attains age 65 on the first of a month, the increase will start on the later of the date that monthly payments begin to your Contingent Life and the first day of the month before such 65th birthday.  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. The increase will start on the later of the date that monthly payments begin to your Contingent Life or the first day of the month in which your Contingent Life attains age 65.  However, if your Contingent Life attains age 65 on the first of a month, the increase will start on the later of the date that monthly payments begin to your Contingent Life and the first day of the month before such 65th birthday.  The amount of the increase will be the amount specified as the “Level Benefit Amount” in the Table of Information. 

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 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 either that (1) such Contingent Life will not be entitled to any portion of the Contingent Life Amount when you die or (2) such Contingent Life is entitled to a reduced portion of the Contingent Life Amount when you die.  

(C) if your Annuity Form is the Contingent Joint and Survivor Life Annuity with your spouse as Contingent Life, then you can exercise the option if you comply with the following conditions.

OCC-RL300-SpousalJ&S                     5                          Spousal Joint and Survivor Life Annuity

CONFIDENTIAL

If your Annuity Form is the Spousal Joint and Survivor Life Annuity and if you have not been divorced from your Contingent Life since your Original Retirement Date, you cannot exercise this option. 

If you exercise the General Conversion Option and convert your Annuity Form to a Single Life Annuity, then the Contingent Life will not be entitled to any portion of the Contingent Life Amount when you die.  You may later convert your Single Life Annuity into a Spousal Joint and Survivor Life Annuity if (i) you meet all of the following Post-Retirement Marriage Conversion Option Conditions (A), (B) and (C) and (ii) you are not shown on the Table of Information as someone who retired from Vested Terminated status:

(A) You became married for the first time, or became re-married, after [June 30, 2011] E, and 
 
(B) You exercise this option within 18-months after such marriage or re-marriage, and 

(C) You supply us with evidence of such marriage or re-marriage. 

If you exercise the General Conversion Option and retain your Annuity Form, then the Contingent Life will be entitled to a reduced portion of the Contingent Life Amount after you die as provided under the QDRO.  You may later exercise the Post-Retirement Marriage Conversion Option if you meet the above Post-Retirement Marriage Conversion Option Conversion Conditions (A), (B) and (C), and (ii) you are not shown on the Table of Information as someone who retired from Vested Terminated status.  However, the Contingent Life Amount payable after your death to your new spouse will be offset by the Contingent Life Amount payable to your former spouse.

“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 Amount (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 Amount 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.

OCC-RL300-SpousalJ&S                     6                          Spousal Joint and Survivor Life Annuity

CONFIDENTIAL

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 either (1) convert your Annuity Form into a Single Life Annuity Form or (2) retain your Annuity Form and provide for payment to your Contingent Life of the reduced amount provided under a QDRO.  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. 

If you exercise the option to convert your Annuity Form into a Single Life Annuity Form, 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.   

If you exercise the option to retain your Annuity Form and provide for payment to your Contingent Life of a reduced amount as provided under a QDRO, we will not increase the Covered Life Amount payable to you.  If you later exercise the Post-Retirement Marriage Conversion Option under the previously described Conversion Conditions (A), (B) and (C), the Contingent Life Amount payable after your death to your new spouse will be offset by the Contingent Life Amount payable to your former spouse.

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.

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.

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. 

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 

OCC-RL300-SpousalJ&S                     8                          Spousal Joint and Survivor Life Annuity

CONFIDENTIAL

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 

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.  

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.

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

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 make 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 amount (A) multiplied by the sum of (B) and (C), where:
(A) is the Total Plan Refund Death Benefit (as specified in the Table of Information) less the sum of both (i) and (ii) below paid after the Annuity Commencement Date to you (or to any related alternate payee, arising, for example, from a domestic relations order):
(i) is the Pre 1985 Part B Primary Amount (as specified in the Table of Information) multiplied by three.
(ii) is the Post 1985 Part B Primary Amount (as specified in the Table of Information), 
(B) is the Pre 1985 Death Benefit Percentage (as specified in the Table of Information) multiplied by one-third, and
(C) is one minus the Pre 1985 Death Benefit Percentage.
    
The following amounts, names, or values apply to your Single Life Annuity:

CONFIDENTIAL

“Covered Life Amount” equals an amount that depends on whether you are younger or older than sixty-two years and one month (“62 + 1”). 62+1 means the first of the month coincident with or next following the date that the Covered Life turns age 62 and one month. However, a Covered Life who is born on the second day of the month will be treated as if he or she were born on the first day of such month.

		
	•
	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 the later of the Annuity Commencement Date and the first day of the month in which you attain age 65.  However, if your 65th birthday falls on the first of a month, the increase will start on the later of the Annuity Commencement Date and the first day of the month before the month in which you attain age 65.  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.  The increase will start on the later of the Annuity Commencement Date and the first day of the month in which you attain age 65.  However, if your 65th birthday falls on the first of a month, the increase will start on the later of the Annuity Commencement Date and the first day of the month before the month in which you attain age 65.  During your lifetime, we do not owe your Contingent Life any benefits under the Level Benefit Rider.  The amount of the increase will be the amount specified as the “Level Benefit Amount” in the Table of Information.  

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 be the amount specified as the “Level Benefit Amount” in the Table of Information.

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] E, and 
 

OCC-RL300-SingleLife                    4                          Single Life Annuity

CONFIDENTIAL

(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. 

If you exercise the Post-Retirement Marriage Conversion Option and convert your Part A Basic Amount of your monthly payment into a Spousal Joint and Survivor Life Annuity, you may later convert your Spousal Joint and Survivor Life Annuity into a Single Life Annuity if you (i) meet Conversion Condition (B) described above and (ii) you are not shown on the Annuity Exhibits as someone who retired from Vested Terminated status.

“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 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 Amount (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 Amount 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 

OCC-RL300-SingleLife                    5                          Single Life Annuity

CONFIDENTIAL

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 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.

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. 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

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" 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 make 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.

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" 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 and Period Certain Annuity,” is the Annuity Form having the payment terms specified in this Payment Terms section.  

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 make 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. 

We will then compare the number of monthly payments we make to you after the Annuity Commencement Date to the Guaranteed Number of Payments specified for you in the Table of Information.  If the number of monthly payments is less than such guaranteed number, we will make additional payments to the designated Beneficiary for your Annuity Form.  These payments 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.
 
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.

OCC-RL300-LifePeriodCertain                    2           Single Life and Period Certain Annuity

CONFIDENTIAL

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. 

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 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 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. 

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.

Supplemental Information:

OCC-RL300-LifePeriodCertain                    3           Single Life and Period Certain Annuity

CONFIDENTIAL

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.  

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.

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

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

This Certificate contains a summary of certain important terms of the Contract.  The Contract contains a more complete description of your rights and Prudential's obligations.  The Contract will control in the event of a conflict between the terms of this Certificate and the terms of the Contract.   

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.

CONFIDENTIAL

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" 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:

“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.  

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: 

General 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 and a qualified domestic relations order does not provide otherwise, 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 alive when you die.  We will make 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  amount (A) multiplied by the sum of (B) and (C), where:

(A) is the Total Plan Refund Death Benefit (as specified in the Table of Information) less the sum of both (i) and (ii) below paid 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):
(i) is the Pre 1985 Part B Primary Amount (as specified in the Table of Information) multiplied by three.

OCC-RL300-ContingentJ&S                3                    Contingent Joint and Survivor Life Annuity

CONFIDENTIAL

(ii) is the Post 1985 Part B Primary Amount (as specified in the Table of Information) 
(B) is the Pre 1985 Death Benefit Percentage (as specified in the Table of Information) multiplied by one-third, and
(C) is one minus the Pre 1985 Death Benefit Percentage.

The following amounts, names, or values apply to your Contingent 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”). 62+1 means the first of the month coincident with or next following the date that the Covered Life turns age 62 and one month. However, a Covered Life who is born on the second day of the month will be treated as if he or she were born on the first day of such month.

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 the later of the Annuity Commencement Date and the first day of the month in which you attain age 65.  However, if your 65th birthday falls on the first of a month, the increase will start on the later of the Annuity Commencement Date and the first day of the month before the month in which you attain age 65.  The amount of the increase will be the amount specified as the “Special Benefit Amount” in the Table of Information.  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, then the “Covered Life Amount” will be increased.  The increase will start on the later of the Annuity Commencement Date and the first day of the month in which you attain age 65.  However, if your 65th birthday falls on the first of a month, the increase will start on the later of the Annuity Commencement Date and the first day of the month before the month in which you attain age 65. The amount of the increase will be the amount specified as the “Level Benefit Amount” in the Table of Information.  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 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.  The increase will start on the later of the date that monthly payments begin to your Contingent Life and the first day of the month in which your Contingent Life attains age 65.  However, if your Contingent Life attains age 65 on the first of a month, the increase will start on the later of the date that monthly payments begin to your Contingent Life and the first day of the month before such 65th birthday.  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. The increase will start on the later of the date that monthly payments begin to your Contingent Life or the first day of the month in which your Contingent Life attains age 65.  However, if your Contingent Life attains age 65 on the first of a month, the increase will start on the later of the date that monthly payments begin to your Contingent Life and the first day of the month before such 65th birthday. The amount of the increase will be the amount specified as the “Level Benefit Amount” in the Table of Information.  

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:

With respect to the General Conversion Option,

OCC-RL300-ContingentJ&S                4                    Contingent Joint and Survivor Life Annuity

CONFIDENTIAL

(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 either that (1) such Contingent Life will not be entitled to any portion of the Contingent Life Amount when you die or (2) such Contingent Life is entitled to a reduced portion of the Contingent Life Amount when you die.    

(C) if your Annuity Form is the Contingent Joint and Survivor Life Annuity with your spouse as Contingent Life, then you can exercise the option if you comply with the following conditions.  You must provide us with notarized consent of your Contingent Life on 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. If we request, you must provide us with satisfactory proof of the good health of your Contingent Life before the option may be exercised.

(D) 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 by providing written direction on a form acceptable to us.  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 option may be exercised.

Note that this option is limited to the situations described above. 

If your Annuity Form is the Spousal Joint and Survivor Life Annuity and if you have not been divorced from your Contingent Life since your Original Retirement Date, you cannot exercise this option. 

If you exercise the General Conversion Option and convert your Annuity Form to a Single Life Annuity, then the Contingent Life will not be entitled to any portion of the Contingent Life Amount when you die.  You may later convert your Single Life Annuity into a Spousal Joint and Survivor Life Annuity if (i) you meet all of the following Post-Retirement Marriage Conversion Option Conditions (A), (B) and (C) and (ii) you are not shown on the Table of Information as someone who retired from Vested Terminated status or rejected Surviving Spouse Coverage at retirement:

(A) You became married for the first time, or became re-married, after [June 30, 2011] E, and 
 
(B) You exercise this option within 18-months after such marriage or re-marriage, and 

(C) You supply us with evidence of such marriage or re-marriage. 

If you exercise the General Conversion Option and retain your Annuity Form, then the Contingent Life will be entitled to a reduced portion of the Contingent Life Amount after you die as provided under the QDRO.  You may later exercise the Post-Retirement Marriage Conversion Option if you meet the above Post-Retirement Marriage Conversion Option Conversion Conditions (A), (B) and (C), and (ii) you are not shown on the Table of Information as someone who retired from Vested Terminated status or rejected Surviving Spouse Coverage at retirement. However, the Contingent Life Amount payable after your death to your new spouse will be offset by the Contingent Life Amount payable to your former spouse.

“Conversion Options” means, if 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.

“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”).

CONFIDENTIAL

The option allows you to either (1) convert your Annuity Form into a Single Life Annuity Form or (2) retain your Annuity Form and provide for payment to your Contingent Life of the reduced amount provided under a QDRO.  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. 

If you exercise the option to convert your Annuity Form into a Single Life Annuity Form, 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.   

If you exercise the General Conversion Option and retain your Annuity Form, then the Contingent Life will be entitled to a reduced portion of the Contingent Life Amount after you die as provided under the QDRO.  You may later exercise the Post-Retirement Marriage Conversion Option if you meet all of the following Conversion Conditions , but the Contingent Life Amount payable after your death to your new spouse will be offset by the Contingent Life Amount payable to your former spouse:

(A) You became married for the first time, or became re-married, after [June 30, 2011]E, and 
 
(B) You exercise this option within 18-months after such marriage or re-marriage, and 

(C) You supply us with evidence of such marriage or re-marriage.

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. 

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.

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 

OCC-RL300-ContingentJ&S                7                    Contingent Joint and Survivor Life Annuity

CONFIDENTIAL

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 

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.  

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 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 

Additional Details:

This Certificate contains a summary of certain important terms of the Contract.  The Contract contains a more complete description of your rights and Prudential's obligations.   The Contract will control in the event of a conflict between the terms of this Certificate and the terms of the Contract.

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.

Re: General Motors Retirement Program for Salaried Employees (the “Plan”)

Dear Mr. Torres:

JP Morgan Chase Bank, National Association (the “Trustee”) is a directed trustee of First Plaza Group Trust (the “Trust”), a group trust in which certain assets attributable to the Plan are held, the Amended and Restated Trust Agreement for which is dated September 7, 2012 (the “Trust Agreement”).

The Plan is terminating.  Pursuant to a certain Definitive Transaction Framework Agreement (“DTFA”), dated as of May 30, 2012 (as it may be amended from time to time), by and among The Prudential Insurance Company of America, a New Jersey life insurance company (the “Insurer”), Prudential Financial, Inc., a New Jersey corporation, General Motors LLC, a Delaware limited liability company acting in a non-fiduciary capacity as the sponsor of the Plan, and State Street Bank and Trust Company, the independent fiduciary of the Plan (the “Independent Fiduciary” or “the undersigned”), the Plan is purchasing a terminal group annuity contract from the Insurer.  
Pursuant to the Plan, the Plan's Annuity Committee is the named fiduciary with responsibility to select and monitor an independent fiduciary to represent the Plan in connection with the purchase of a group annuity contract from the Insurer.  The Annuity Committee has appointed the undersigned for such purpose, and, pursuant to the Trust Agreement, the undersigned is directing the Trustee to enter into certain transactions for purposes of facilitating the purchase of that group annuity contract, including the transfer of certain [*****] held by the Trust, and beneficially owned by the Plan, to the Insurer.
In furtherance of the foregoing, the undersigned hereby directs you, not individually, but solely in your capacity as directed Trustee on behalf of the Trust, to do the following:

		
	(i)
	Execute the assignment and assumption agreement(s) or consents or similar transfer documents necessary to transfer the interests [*****] listed on Schedule A attached hereto [*****], as such documentation is sent to you by Kirkland & Ellis, LLP, counsel with respect to the Trust (“K&E”), and send your signature pages to K&E, in accordance with their instructions, to be held by them in escrow, and, upon written instruction by the undersigned, to take any other actions reasonable and necessary to effectuate the transfer of 

Appendix 2.1-A -7

CONFIDENTIAL

such interests.  The release of such signature pages from escrow shall occur as determined by the undersigned. 

		
	(ii)
	On November 1, 2012, or such other date as instructed by the undersigned, in connection with the issuance of the group annuity contract by the Insurer, execute the promissory note (the “Promissory Note”) delivered to you by the undersigned on or prior to such date, to facilitate the transfer of assets, including certain [*****], to the Insurer at a later date, and send your signature pages to the Promissory Note to the Insurer or such other party as may be instructed to you by the undersigned (when the undersigned delivers to you the Promissory Note for your execution, the undersigned will provide you with instructions regarding the specific party to whom you are instructed to send your signature pages). 

In connection herewith, the undersigned represents and warrants to the Trustee for
the benefit of the Trust that:

		
	(i)
	the undersigned is an Investment Manager within the meaning of 3(38) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), and is acting in such capacity in issuing the direction set forth in this letter;

		
	(ii)
	the undersigned is a qualified professional asset manager within the meaning of the Department of Labor PTCE 84-14, as amended;

		
	(iii)
	the undersigned has determined that the execution of the group annuity contract with the Insurer, transferring the [*****] on Schedule A hereto and execution and delivery of the Promissory Note satisfies ERISA, and applicable guidance, including Interpretive Bulletin 95-1;

The undersigned has been informed by General Motors Investment Management Corporation (“GMIMCo”), as named fiduciary for the Trust, that GMIMCo, and where it has deemed appropriate, legal counsel engaged by GMIMCo, have reviewed and understand the [*****] and Promissory Note (collectively, the “Annuity Purchase Documents”) and found such documentation to be in proper legal form for execution by the Trustee, not in its individual capacity, but solely as the directed trustee on behalf of the Trust without review or inquiry pursuant to this direction and that each of the Annuity Purchase Documents specifically provides that the Trustee shall have no individual liability with respect to the Annuity Purchase Documents.

Very truly yours,

JP Morgan Chase Bank, National Association (the “Trustee”) is a directed trustee of White Plaza Group Trust (the “Trust”), a group trust in which certain assets attributable to the Plan are held, the Amended and Restated Trust Agreement for which is dated October 5, 2012 (the “Trust Agreement”).

The Plan is terminating.  Pursuant to a certain Definitive Transaction Framework Agreement (“DTFA”), dated as of May 30, 2012 (as it may be amended from time to time), by and among The Prudential Insurance Company of America, a New Jersey life insurance company (the “Insurer”), Prudential Financial, Inc., a New Jersey corporation, General Motors LLC, a Delaware limited liability company acting in a non-fiduciary capacity as the sponsor of the Plan, and State Street Bank and Trust Company, the independent fiduciary of the Plan (the “Independent Fiduciary” or “the undersigned”), the Plan is purchasing a terminal group annuity contract from the Insurer.  
Pursuant to the Plan, the Plan's Annuity Committee is the named fiduciary with responsibility to select and monitor an independent fiduciary to represent the Plan in connection with the purchase of a group annuity contract from the Insurer.  The Annuity Committee has appointed the undersigned for such purpose, and, pursuant to the Trust Agreement, the undersigned is directing the Trustee to enter into certain transactions for purposes of facilitating the purchase of that group annuity contract, including the transfer of certain [*****] held by the Trust, and beneficially owned by the Plan, to the Insurer.
In furtherance of the foregoing, the undersigned hereby directs you, not individually, but solely in your capacity as directed Trustee on behalf of the Trust, to do the following:

		
	(i)
	Execute [*****] or similar transfer documents necessary to transfer the interests (the “[*****]”) in the funds listed on Schedule A attached hereto (the “[*****]”), as such documentation is sent to you by Kirkland & Ellis, LLP, counsel with respect to the Trust (“K&E”), and send your signature pages to K&E, in accordance with their instructions, to be held by them in escrow, and, upon written instruction by the undersigned, to take any 

Appendix 2.1-A -10

other actions reasonable and necessary to effectuate the transfer of such interests.  The release of such signature pages from escrow shall occur as determined by the undersigned. 

		
	(ii)
	On November 1, 2012, or such other date as instructed by the undersigned, in connection with the issuance of the group annuity contract by the Insurer, execute the promissory note (the “Promissory Note”) delivered to you by the undersigned on or prior to such date, to facilitate the transfer of assets, including certain [*****], to the Insurer at a later date, and send your signature pages to the Promissory Note to the Insurer or such other party as may be instructed to you by the undersigned (when the undersigned delivers to you the Promissory Note for your execution, the undersigned will provide you with instructions regarding the specific party to whom you are instructed to send your signature pages). 

In connection herewith, the undersigned represents and warrants to the Trustee for
the benefit of the Trust that:

		
	(i)
	the undersigned is an Investment Manager within the meaning of 3(38) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), and is acting in such capacity in issuing the direction set forth in this letter;

		
	(ii)
	the undersigned is a qualified professional asset manager within the meaning of the Department of Labor PTCE 84-14, as amended;

		
	(iii)
	the undersigned has determined that the execution of the group annuity contract with the Insurer, transferring the [*****] on Schedule A hereto and execution and delivery of the Promissory Note satisfies ERISA, and applicable guidance, including Interpretive Bulletin 95-1; 

		
	(iv)
	The execution and delivery of the Annuity Purchase Documents, as defined below, do not and will not constitute a non-exempt prohibited transaction; and

		
	(v)
	the officer signing this letter is duly authorized to execute and deliver this direction on behalf of State Street Bank and Trust Company.

The undersigned has been informed by General Motors Investment Management Corporation (“GMIMCo”), as named fiduciary for the Trust, that GMIMCo, and where it has deemed appropriate, legal counsel engaged by GMIMCo, have reviewed and understand the [*****] and Promissory Note (collectively, the “Annuity Purchase Documents”) and found such documentation to be in proper legal form for execution by the Trustee, not in its individual capacity, but solely as the directed trustee on behalf of the Trust without review or inquiry pursuant to this direction and that each of the Annuity Purchase Documents specifically provides that the Trustee shall have no individual liability with respect to the Annuity Purchase Documents.

Very truly yours,

Appendix 2.12
POST-CLOSING FINAL PREMIUM ARBITRATION
		
	1.
	To the full extent permitted by Section 2.12, either the Company or the Insurer may submit any Dispute arising out of, relating to, or in connection with the calculation of the amount of the Post-Closing Final Premium (including any of the components of such calculation) under Section 2.12(a) to be settled by arbitration.  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.  The arbitrator shall be an enrolled actuary with at least 10 years of experience as a signing actuary for one or more single-employer pension plans and his or her engagement letter must include an agreement to undertake the arbitration within the time limits specified in this Appendix 2.12.  Any arbitrator retained hereunder must have access to POINT.  In all events an arbitrator shall be appointed within 10 days of the issuance of a Dispute Notice.  The arbitrator shall be permitted to draw upon the resources of Approved Firm-C, or his or her firm in the event the AAA selects the arbitrator, in the conduct of the performance of his or her duties as arbitrator, provided that the Approved Firm-C and each individual engaged in the performance of services relating to the arbitration shall have executed and delivered an agreement in form to be mutually agreed among the arbitrator, the Insurer and the Company agreeing to treat all information submitted to the arbitrator or developed by the arbitrator in the conduct of his or her duties as confidential.

		
	4.
	If a timely and valid Dispute Notice is provided in accordance with Section 2.12, the following procedures shall apply: 

Appendix 2.12 -2

- if the party receiving the Dispute Notice chooses to object to the document request, in whole or in part, then it shall deliver a written objection (a “Notice of Objection”, which must specify in reasonable detail the basis for the objection) to the arbitrator and to the Disputing Party within 5 days after receipt of the Dispute Notice.
- in the event the arbitrator receives a Notice of Objection as described in the preceding paragraph, it shall make a final and binding ruling on the objection within 5 days after receipt of such Notice of Objection, and the Party that submitted the Notice of Objection must comply with such ruling within 3 days after receipt thereof.

	•
	Within 10 days of the delivery of all information as specified in the Dispute Notice and any responsive document request (after giving effect to the resolution of any objections thereto), the Insurer and the Company shall submit to the arbitrator all information and supporting materials that they intend for the arbitrator to review in connection with the Dispute.

		
	•
	Unless the Insurer and the Company waive a hearing in writing, within 5 days of delivering such information to the arbitrator, the arbitrator shall hear evidence in connection with the Dispute.  The hearing shall be no longer than 2 days.  Each party may present or cross examine witnesses and has a right to present no  more than one expert witness; witness lists shall be exchanged at least 3 days prior to the hearing.

		
	•
	Within 10 days following the hearing, the arbitrator shall deliver to the Insurer and the Company a draft arbitration award setting forth the findings of the arbitrator, upon receipt of which each of the Company and the Insurer may, for the 3 day period following receipt of such draft opinion, submit to the arbitrator such additional supporting information and materials as it determines to be appropriate to support its case.   

		
	•
	Within 5 days following the expiration of the 3 day period described in the preceding paragraph, the arbitrator shall issue the final arbitration award. 

		
	5.

CONFIDENTIAL

the arbitrator, the arbitrator shall have exclusive jurisdiction to consider applications for interim relief.

		
	7.
	With respect to a Dispute  regarding the Insurer's calculation of Post-Closing Final Premium, the arbitrator shall resolve such Dispute within the range of difference between either (i) the Post-Closing Final Premium as calculated by the Insurer or (ii) the Post-Closing Final Premium as calculated by the Independent Third Party.  With respect to a Dispute regarding the Company's calculation of the value of any asset in the Final Plan Portfolio, the arbitrator shall resolve such Dispute within the range of difference between either (i) the Company's calculation of the value of such asset or (ii) the Insurer's calculation of the value of such asset.  In this regard, the arbitrator will have no authority to award any other damages other than as provided for herein.

		
	8.
	Any arbitration award shall be final and binding on the Parties.  The Parties undertake to carry out any award without delay and waive their right to any form of recourse based on grounds other than  personal conflict of interest of the arbitrator that was undisclosed at the time of the arbitrator's appointment.  Judgment upon the award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof or having jurisdiction over the relevant Party or its assets.  All amounts finally determined to be due and owing by the arbitrator shall be paid within 5 days following the date of such determination.

		
	9.
	The arbitrator shall undertake its best efforts to take the actions required in the time periods stated herein, provided that if he or she should not do so the arbitrator shall not become functus officio.

		
	10.
	The Company and the Insurer shall share the fees and disbursements of the arbitrator equally (i.e., on a 50%/50% basis).  Each of the Company and the Insurer shall bear its own costs and expenses incurred in connection with prosecuting and/or defending any Dispute, including all fees of law firms, commercial banks, investment banks, accountants, public relations firms, experts and consultants.  

		
	11.
	All Confidential Information that is provided in connection with any Dispute, and the proceedings relating to any Dispute, shall be subject to the provisions of Section 11.7(b) and Section 11.14, to the extent provided therein. 

		
	12.
	The parties agree that the foregoing procedures and deadlines are intended to ensure that in all events the final award of any arbitrator with respect to Disputes under Section 2.12 shall be issued not later than 175 days after the conclusion of the PBGC Review Period.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any amount is finally determined by the arbitrator to be due and owing from the Plan to the Insurer, but the Plan is no longer existing or otherwise does not make such payment within 5 days after such determination, the Company shall promptly make such payment on behalf of the Plan whereupon the Plan shall be released from any obligation to make such payment.

Appendix 6.6
RBC RATIO CALCULATION METHOD
		
	•
	The Insurer's normal-course RBC ratio preparation is completed in a reasonable manner, using reasonable assumptions and in accordance with prevailing regulatory standards consistent with current practices for reporting to management or regulators.  [*****]

		
	•
	Preparation of the Projected RBC Ratio:  From time to time, the Insurer calculates Projected RBC Ratios. Such Projected RBC Ratios are completed in accordance with NAIC prescribed methodologies for the calculation of Risk-Based Capital and Total Adjusted Capital.  The NAIC publishes detailed instructions annually for calculating year-end reported RBC ratios using Risk-Based Capital and Total Adjusted Capital (NAIC Life Risk-Based Capital Report Including Overview and Instructions for Companies); the Insurer's projections of its year-end RBC ratio utilize the same formula as these instructions.  Such projections also incorporate NAIC changes to the extent Prudential expects that these changes are expected to be adopted by the NAIC and effective for the forecasted period.

Secured Promissory Note
LEGEND
THIS NOTE AND ANY SECURITY ENTITLEMENT IN RESPECT OF THIS NOTE HAS NOT BEEN AND WILL NOT BE REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND THE RULES AND REGULATIONS ISSUED THEREUNDER (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.  

Exhibit E -3
NYI-4483150v3 

CONFIDENTIAL

1.Principal and Interest.  This Note shall mature and the Principal Amount, if any, shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date.  If at any time the Principal Amount of this Note is equal to $0, this Note shall automatically and immediately be cancelled and of no further effect and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Issuers shall have no further obligations under this Note.  [*****] will be due or payable under this Note.

2.Collateral.

(a)    As security for the timely payment in full of all of the Principal Amount, First Plaza Group Trust hereby grants, pledges and assigns to the Insurer a continuing security interest in and lien on all of First Plaza Group Trust's right, title and interest in, to and under (i) account number [*****] that First Plaza Group Trust established under the name “[*****]” (such account, the “Collateral Account”), and (ii) the U.S. Treasury securities and Cash in an amount equal to the Principal Amount, and any proceeds collected on, distributed on account of or otherwise derived therefrom or substituted therefor as contemplated hereunder (collectively, the “Note Collateral”), in each case, whether now existing or arising or hereafter acquired, while such Note Collateral is held in the Collateral Account.  First Plaza Group Trust represents and warrants to the Insurer that it holds the Note Collateral and Collateral Account free and clear of any Lien, other than any Lien created by operation of Law in respect of restrictions on the transfer of securities (“Non-Restricted Liens”), except for the security interest therein granted to the Insurer hereunder.  
(b)    Prior to the issuance of this Note, First Plaza Group Trust established the Collateral Account into which has been deposited U.S. Treasury securities or Cash with a value as of the closing of business on the Business Day prior to the date hereof, as such value is determined using bid prices from the Bloomberg system as of the closing of business on the Business Day prior to Closing, at least equal to the amount of the Principal Amount.  First Plaza Group Trust represents and warrants to the Insurer that, as of the date hereof, the J.P. Morgan Positions report of the Collateral Account attached hereto as Annex A is true, correct and complete in all material respects and agrees that, until the Principal Amount of this Note is reduced to zero, the Collateral Account shall only hold U.S. Treasury securities or Cash.  For so long as any amount remains outstanding under this Note, First Plaza Group Trust shall not and shall take no direction to (i) withdraw from the Collateral Account any of the Note Collateral or the proceeds thereof, unless First Plaza Group Trust has first deposited into the Collateral Account an amount of U.S. Treasury securities or Cash with a value (determined as of the date of deposit in accordance with Appendix 2.6 of the DTFA) equal to or greater than the amount it proposes to withdraw and promptly thereafter provides the Insurer with an updated J.P. Morgan Positions report of the Collateral Account substantially in the form of Annex A, (ii) enter into any control agreement or similar arrangement related to the Collateral Account or (iii) grant, pledge, assign or suffer to exist any Lien in the Note Collateral or the Collateral Account, except for Non-Restricted Liens, or to otherwise permit any Lien to be filed against the Note Collateral or the Collateral Account, except for Non-Restricted Liens and the security interest granted to the Insurer hereunder.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the payment of any portion of the Principal Amount under this Note, First Plaza Group Trust may withdraw Note Collateral with a value (determined as of the date of such payment in accordance with Appendix 2.6 of the DTFA) equal to such payment, provided that the Note Collateral remaining in the Collateral Account after such 

Exhibit E -4
NYI-4483150v3 

CONFIDENTIAL

withdrawal shall have a value (determined as of the date of such withdrawal in accordance with Appendix 2.6 of the DTFA) equal to or greater than the outstanding Principal Amount.
(c)    In connection with the grant of the security interests in Section 2(a), First Plaza Group Trust agrees to take all actions reasonably requested by the Insurer that may be necessary or desirable under all applicable Laws to cause such security interest to be created, exist and attach and to protect and perfect the interest of the Insurer against all other Persons and ensure that the security interest granted by First Plaza Group Trust to the Insurer in Section 2(a) is senior and prior in all respects to any creditors claiming an interest in and to the Note Collateral or the Collateral Account, and to assist the Insurer, as reasonably requested, in filing UCC-1 financing statements (including any continuation statements with respect to such financing statements when applicable) with respect to the security interest transferred and granted by First Plaza Group Trust to the Insurer by Section 2(a) with respect to the Note Collateral and Collateral Account.  First Plaza Group Trust hereby authorizes the Insurer, to take any action which may be necessary under the Uniform Commercial Code in any applicable jurisdiction to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the Insurer's interest in the Note Collateral and the Collateral Account, including, without limitation, the filing of a UCC-1 financing and continuation statement in the form attached as Annex B in any applicable jurisdiction.  First Plaza Group Trust also ratifies its authorization for the Insurer or its assignee to have filed in any Uniform Commercial Code jurisdiction the UCC-1 financing statement attached as Annex B on October 31, 2012.  
(d)    The Insurer agrees to promptly take all actions necessary to release its security interest as payment is made pursuant to this Note such that the aggregate value of the security interest held pursuant to this Note shall not exceed the Principal Amount outstanding on the Note.  The Insurer shall promptly release any remaining security interest once the Note is paid in full.  In connection with the foregoing, the Insurer agrees to promptly provide to First Plaza Group Trust such UCC termination statements, or other evidence of satisfaction and release of the security interests as First Plaza Group Trust may reasonably request.
(e)    Any term or provision of this Note to the contrary notwithstanding, if the Issuers default under the method of payment set forth in Section 3 hereof, the recourse against the Issuers will be limited to the Note Collateral and Collateral Account and the Issuers shall not have personal liability with respect to this Note; provided that, following the Maturity Date, no terms or provisions of this Note shall impair the Insurer's ability to put this Note back to State Street Bank and Trust Company, in its capacity as Plan Trustee, for an amount equal to any outstanding Principal Amount in accordance with the DTFA.
3.Method of Payment.  All payments hereunder will be made as set forth below, in the order set forth below, and will reduce the Principal Amount of this Note when so made.

(a)As of any date, by the Issuers' in-kind transfer of the [*****] set forth on Schedule A to the Insurer, in the manner set forth on Appendix 2.1-A of the DTFA, at the values determined for each such [*****] as of the close of business on the Business Day prior to the Closing Date as set forth on Schedule A hereto; 

Exhibit E -5
NYI-4483150v3 

CONFIDENTIAL

(b)As of any date, if a [*****] set forth on Schedule A is not able to be transferred to the Insurer because the required [*****] such [*****] have not been obtained, then the applicable Issuer shall not transfer such [*****] to the Insurer, and the Issuers shall instead transfer additional [*****] set forth on Schedule A (at the values determined for each such [*****] as of the Closing Date, as set forth on Schedule A hereto) to replace such [*****] from Schedule A that are not able to be transferred.  Such interests from Schedule A will be chosen beginning with the next [*****] on Schedule A and each immediately following [*****] (without regard to, for purposes of selection, the Issuer holding such [*****]), and so on; provided, however, that if (i) with respect to any such [*****], [*****] have not been obtained as of the Maturity Date or (ii) the next [*****] to be transferred pursuant to this sentence would cause the aggregate value of all [*****] transferred in satisfaction of the Note (as such values are identified on Schedule A) to exceed the Principal Amount, then the Issuers will transfer the next [*****] on Schedule A instead, repeating this process until either Schedule A has been exhausted or each remaining [*****] on Schedule A that has not been transferred would cause the amount of [*****] to be transferred to be in excess of the Principal Amount.

(c)Not later than 2:00 p.m. Eastern time on the Maturity Date, the Issuers shall pay an amount (or such amount shall be paid on their behalf) equal to the difference between (i) the Principal Amount of this Note as of the date hereof and (ii) the aggregate value of [*****] that the Issuers transfer to the Insurer pursuant to clause (a) and clause (b) above, in Cash to an account designated by the Insurer or by the in-kind transfer of Public Bonds (valued as of the close of business on the Business Day immediately prior to the transfer date) in the manner, and using the valuation procedures, set forth in the DTFA. 

(d)For the avoidance of doubt, (1) the Issuers shall only transfer that portion of any [*****] set forth on Schedule A that is beneficially owned by the General Motors Retirement Program for Salaried Employees, and the Issuers' transfer of such [*****] shall only be effective with respect to that portion of such [*****] beneficially owned by General Motors Retirement Program for Salaried Employees and (2) the release of signature pages by the parties to any [*****] prior to 2:00 p.m. on the Maturity Date shall be deemed a transfer in satisfaction of this Promissory Note even if the effective time of such transfer may occur later on that date.

4.No Additional Amounts.  All amounts due in respect of this Note shall be paid without the Issuers applying withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future taxes, assessments or other governmental charges of whatever nature imposed or levied by or on behalf of any Governmental Authority.  For the avoidance of doubt, the [*****] that may be used to satisfy this Promissory Note are valued in accordance with Appendix 2.6 of the DTFA, which takes into [*****] with respect to each Issuers' ownership of such [*****], which may itself have already been reduced for any withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future taxes, assessments or other governmental charges of whatever nature imposed or levied by or on behalf of any Governmental Authority.

5.Duties and Taxes.  The Issuers shall pay all stamp and other duties, if any, which may be imposed by the United States of America or any Governmental Authority or any political subdivision thereof or taxing authority of or in the foregoing with respect to the initial issuance of this Note.

6.Obligations Not Impaired.  No provision of this Note shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuers to pay the Principal Amount of this Note as herein prescribed.

Exhibit E -6
NYI-4483150v3 

CONFIDENTIAL

7.Governing Law.  This Note shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law thereof that are not mandatorily applicable by Law and would permit or require application of the Laws of another jurisdiction.

8.Successors and Assigns.  This Note may not be assigned by the Insurer or an Issuer without the prior written consent of the other party, and the consent of the Plan Investment Fiduciary; provided that no consent of any Person shall be required in connection with the Insurer's right to (a) put this Note back to State Street Bank and Trust Company, in its capacity as Plan Trustee, as an Excluded Asset in accordance with the DTFA or (b) transfer this Note to an Affiliate of the Insurer following the Maturity Date if any portion of the Principal Amount remains outstanding as of the date of such transfer, provided, that the Insurer shall promptly give notice of such transfer to the Issuers and the Independent Fiduciary.  All references herein to an “Issuer” and the “Insurer” shall be deemed to apply to their respective successors and assigns.

9.Notices.  All notices, requests, demands, claims, certifications and other communications hereunder will be in writing except as expressly provided herein.  Any notice, request, demand, claim or other communication hereunder will be deemed duly given (a) when delivered personally to the recipient; (b) one (1) Business Day after being sent to the recipient by reputable overnight courier service (charges prepaid), addressed as set forth below; or (c) when transmitted, if transmitted by facsimile, with confirmation of successful transmission received by the sender, with copies provided by email, if any, to those indicated below (including the recipient):

Note that this option is limited to the situations described above. 

If your Annuity Form is the Spousal Joint and Survivor Life Annuity and if you have not been divorced from your Contingent Life since your Original Retirement Date, you cannot exercise this option. 

If you exercise the General Conversion Option and convert your Annuity Form to a Single Life Annuity, then the Contingent Life will not be entitled to any portion of the Contingent Life Amount when you die.  You may later convert your Single Life Annuity into a Spousal Joint and Survivor Life Annuity if (i) you meet Conversion Conditions (B), (C) and (D) of the Post-Retirement Marriage Conversion Option and (ii) you are not shown on the Annuity Exhibits as someone who retired from Vested Terminated status or rejected Surviving Spouse Coverage at retirement.

(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. 

If you exercise the Post-Retirement Marriage Conversion Option and you convert your Part A Basic Amount of your monthly payment into a Spousal Joint and Survivor Life Annuity, you may later convert your Spousal Joint and Survivor Life Annuity into a Single Life Annuity if you (i) meet Conversion Condition (B) of the General Conversion Option and (ii) you are not shown on the Annuity Exhibits as someone who retired from Vested Terminated status.

“Conversion Options” means, if the “Disabled Age 55 Conversion Option,” the “General Conversion Option,” and/or the “Post-Retirement Marriage Conversion Option” is specified in the Annuity Exhibits as applicable to a Covered Life, 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 a Covered Life is specified in the Annuity Exhibits 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 Life 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 Annuity Exhibits).  The second number equals your Disability Temporary Amount (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 

12

Spousal Joint and Survivor Life Annuity Pop-Up Decrease Factor.  The third number is any Disability Temporary Amount 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. 

(ii)  “General Conversion Option” means, if a Covered Life is specified in the Annuity Exhibits as having a “General” Conversion Option and also as receiving a distribution of one of the following Annuity Forms:

Spousal Joint and Survivor Life Annuity
Contingent Joint and Survivor Life Annuity

then such option is available to the Covered Life (“you” or “your”).

The option allows you to either (1) convert your Annuity Form into a Single Life Annuity Form or (2) retain your Annuity Form and provide for payment to your Contingent Life of the reduced amount provided under a QDRO.  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. 

If you exercise the option to convert your Annuity Form into a Single Life Annuity Form, 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.   

If you exercise the option to retain your Annuity Form and provide for payment to your Contingent Life of a reduced amount as provided under a QDRO, we will not increase the Covered Life Amount payable to you.  If you later exercise the Post-Retirement Marriage Conversion Option under Conversion Conditions (B), (C) and (D), the Contingent Life Amount payable after your death to your new spouse will be offset by the Contingent Life Amount payable to your former spouse.

(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:

13

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 Part A Basic 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.

“Riders” means, if the “Pop-Up Rider,” the “Special Benefit Rider,” the “Level Benefit Rider,” or the “Refund Death Benefit Rider” is specified  in the Annuity Exhibits as applicable to a Covered Life or Contingent Life:

(i)  “Level Benefit Rider” means, if a Covered Life is specified in the Annuity Exhibits as having a “Level Benefit Rider” or if a Contingent Life is specified in the Annuity Exhibits as having a “Level Benefit Rider,” and if the Covered Life is specified in the Annuity Exhibits as having one of the following Annuity Forms:

Contingent Joint and Survivor Life Annuity
Single Life Annuity
Spousal Joint and Survivor Life Annuity

Then the Covered Life Amount or Contingent Life Amount will be increased by $300 (as previously determined by the rules of the Plan).

(ii) “Special Benefit Rider” means, if a Covered Life is specified in the Annuity Exhibits as having a “Special Benefit Rider” or if a Contingent Life is specified in the Annuity Exhibits as having a “Special Benefit Rider” and if the Covered Life is also specified as receiving a distribution of one of the following Annuity Forms:

Contingent Joint and Survivor Life Annuity
Single Life Annuity
Spousal Joint and Survivor Life Annuity 

Then the Covered Life Amount or Contingent Life Amount will be increased by either $76.20 or $28.00 (as previously determined by the rules of the Plan), as specified in the Annuity Exhibits. 

(iii) “Pop-Up Rider” ” means, if a Covered Life is specified in the Annuity Exhibits as having a “Pop Up” Rider and also as receiving a distribution of the following Annuity Form:

Spousal Joint and Survivor Life Annuity

Then upon the death of the spousal Contingent Life, we will increase the Covered Life Amount. The amount of the increase, and the conditions to such increased payment, are specified in the related Annuity Form.

If your Covered Life Amount is increased due to the death of your spousal Contingent Life, the Part A Basic Amount portion of your Annuity will convert to a Single Life Annuity.  You may later convert that Single Life Annuity into a Spousal Joint and Survivor Life Annuity if you (i) meet Conversion Conditions (B), (C) and (D) of the Post-Retirement Marriage Conversion Option and (ii) you are not shown on the Annuity Exhibits as someone who retired from Vested Terminated status.

16

“Refund Death Benefit Rider” means, if a Covered Life is specified in the Annuity Exhibits as having a “Refund Death Benefit” Rider and also as receiving a distribution of one of the following Annuity Forms:

Contingent Joint and Survivor Life Annuity
Single Life Annuity
Spousal Joint and Survivor Life Annuity

	Annuity Forms

(i) “Contingent Joint and Survivor Life Annuity with or without Refund Death Benefit Rider, and/or Special Benefit Rider and/or Level Benefit Rider” means the following for each Covered Life identified in the Annuity Exhibits as receiving a distribution of a “Contingent Life - J&S” Annuity Form with or without a “Refund Death Benefit Rider,” and/or a “Special Benefit Rider” and/or a “Level Benefit Rider,” respectively.  “You” and “your” refers to each such Covered Life:

If the Annuity Exhibits specify that you have a Conversion Option to cancel this Annuity Form and a qualified domestic relations order does not provide otherwise, 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.

During your lifetime, we will make monthly payments to you equal to your Covered Life Amount.  We will make monthly payments on the first day of each month.  We owe the first monthly payment on the Annuity Commencement Date.  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 Annuity Exhibits) is alive when you die.  We will make 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 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 amount (A) multiplied by the sum of (B) and (C), where:

17

(A) is the Total Plan Refund Death Benefit (as specified in the Annuity Exhibits) less the sum of both (i) and (ii) below paid 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):
(i) is the Pre 1985 Part B Primary Amount (as specified in the Annuity Exhibits) multiplied by three.
(ii) is the Post 1985 Part B Primary Amount (as specified in the Annuity Exhibits), 
(B) is the Pre 1985 Death Benefit Percentage (as specified in the Annuity Exhibits) multiplied by one-third, and
		
	(C)
	is one minus the Pre 1985 Death Benefit Percentage.

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”).  "Sixty-two years and one month (62+1)" means the first of the month coincident with or next following the date that the Covered Life turns age 62 and one month. However, a Covered Life who is born on the second day of the month will be treated as if he or she were born on the first day of such month.

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. 

If you have a Special Benefit Rider (as specified in the Annuity Exhibits), then the “Covered Life Amount” will be increased after your sixty-fifth (65th) birthday.  The increase will start on the later of the Annuity Commencement Date and the first day of the month in which you attain age 65.  However, if your 65th birthday falls on the first of a month, the increase will start on the later of the Annuity Commencement Date and the first day of the month before the month in which you attain age 65.  The amount of the increase will be the amount specified as the “Special Benefit Amount” 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.  The increase will start on the later of the Annuity Commencement Date and the first day of the month in which you attain age 65.  However, if your 65th birthday falls on the first of a month, the increase will start on the later of the Annuity Commencement Date and the first day of the month before the month in which you attain age 65.  The amount of the increase will be the amount specified as the “Level Benefit Amount” in the Annuity Exhibits.  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 Amount” as specified in the Annuity Exhibits, 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 

18

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 Annuity Exhibits for your Annuity Form as the “Contingent Life Amount.”

If your Contingent Life is your spouse and has a Special Benefit Rider, then the “Contingent Life Amount” will be increased.  The increase will start on the later of the date that monthly payments begin to your Contingent Life and the first day of the month in which your Contingent Life attains age 65.  However, if your Contingent Life attains age 65 on the first of a month, the increase will start on the later of the date that monthly payments begin to your Contingent Life and the first day of the month before the month in which your Contingent Life attains age 65.  The amount of the increase will be the amount specified as the “Special Benefit Amount” in the Annuity Exhibits.  

If your Contingent Life has a Level Benefit Rider, then the “Contingent Life Amount” will be increased.  The increase will start on the later of the date that monthly payments begin to your Contingent Life and the first day of the month in which your Contingent Life attains age 65.  However, if your Contingent Life attains age 65 on the first of a month, the increase will start on the later of the date that monthly payments begin to your Contingent Life and the first day of the month before such 65th birthday.  The amount of the increase will be the amount specified as the “Level Benefit Amount” in the Annuity Exhibits. 

(ii) “Period Certain Annuity” means the following for each Covered Life identified in the Annuity Exhibits as receiving a distribution of a “Period Certain Only” Annuity Form.  “You” and “your” refers to each such Covered Life.

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 make 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 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.

“Covered Life Amount” means an amount that is specified in the Annuity Exhibits for your Annuity Form as the “Covered Life Amount.”

(iii) “Single Life and Period Certain Annuity” means the following for each Covered Life identified in the Annuity Exhibits as receiving a distribution of a “Life & Period Certain”.  “You” and “your” refers to each such Covered Life.

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 make 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. 

19

We will then compare the number of monthly payments we make to you after the Annuity Commencement Date to the Guaranteed Number of Payments specified for you in the Annuity Exhibits.  If the number of monthly payments is less than such guaranteed number, we will make additional payments to the designated Beneficiary for your Annuity Form.  These payments 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 Annuity Exhibits for your Annuity Form as the “Covered Life Amount.”

(iv) “Single Life Annuity with or without Special Benefit Rider, and/ or Level Benefit Rider and/or Refund Death Benefit Rider” means the following for each Covered Life identified in the Annuity Exhibits as receiving a distribution of a “Life Only” Annuity Form with or without a “Special Benefit Rider,” and/or a “Level Benefit Rider,” and/or a “Refund Death Benefit Rider,” respectively.  “You” and “your” refers to each such Covered Life.

We do not owe any payments to anyone under this Annuity Form if you have died before the Annuity Commencement Date. 

If the Annuity Exhibits specify 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. 

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 make 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 amount (A) multiplied by the sum of (B) and (C), where:

(A) is the Total Plan Refund Death Benefit (as specified in the Annuity Exhibits) less the sum of both (i) and (ii) below paid 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):
(i) is the Pre 1985 Part B Primary Amount (as specified in the Annuity Exhibits) multiplied by three.
(ii) is the Post 1985 Part B Primary Amount (as specified in the Annuity Exhibits), 
(B) is the Pre 1985 Death Benefit Percentage (as specified in the Annuity Exhibits) multiplied by one-third, and
(C) is one minus the Pre 1985 Death Benefit Percentage.

For a Single Life Annuity, the following amounts, names, or values are also specified in the Annuity Exhibits:

20

“Covered Life Amount” depends on whether you are younger or older than sixty-two years and one month (“62 + 1”).  "Sixty-two years and one month (62+1)" means the first of the month coincident with or next following the date that the Covered Life turns age 62 and one month. However, a Covered Life who is born on the second day of the month will be treated as if he or she were born on the first day of such month.

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” specified in the Annuity Exhibit for such Covered Life 

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 the later of the Annuity Commencement Date and the first day of the month in which you attain age 65.  However, if your 65th birthday falls on the first of a month, the increase will start on the later of the Annuity Commencement Date and the first day of the month before the month in which you attain age 65.  The amount of the increase will be the amount specified as the “Special Benefit Amount” in the Annuity Exhibits. 

If you have a Level Benefit Rider, then the “Covered Life Amount” will be increased.  The increase will start on the later of the Annuity Commencement Date and the first day of the month in which you attain age 65.  However, if your 65th birthday falls on the first of a month, the increase will start on the later of the Annuity Commencement Date and the first day of the month before the month in which you attain age 65.  The amount of the increase will be the amount specified as the “Level Benefit Amount” in the Annuity Exhibits.  

If a portion of your Pre 62+1 Covered Life Amount is attributable to “Disability Temporary Amount” as specified in the Annuity Exhibits, 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.  

The Annuity Exhibits 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 be the amount specified as the “Level Benefit Amount” in the Annuity Exhibits.

(v)  “Spousal Joint and Survivor Life Annuity with or without a Special Benefit Rider, and/or a Level Benefit Rider and/or a Pop-Up Rider and/or a Refund Death Benefit Rider” means the following for each Covered Life identified in the Annuity Exhibits as receiving a distribution of a “Spousal - J&S” Annuity Form with or without a “Special Benefit Rider,” and/or a “Level Benefit Rider,” and/or a “Pop-Up” Rider and/or a “Refund Death Benefit Rider,” respectively.  “You” and “your” refers to each such Covered Life:

We do not owe any payments to the Covered Life under this Annuity Form if the person dies before the Annuity Commencement Date.

21

If the Annuity Exhibits specify 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. 

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 make 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 Annuity Exhibits) 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 amount (A) multiplied by the sum of (B) and (C), where:

(A) is the Total Plan Refund Death Benefit (as specified in the Annuity Exhibits) less the sum of both (i) and (ii) below paid 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):

(C) is one minus the Pre 1985 Death Benefit Percentage.

For a Spousal 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”).  "Sixty-two years and one month (62+1)" means the first of the month coincident with or next following the date that the Covered Life turns age 62 and one month. However, a Covered Life who is born on the second day of the month will be treated as if he or she were born on the first day of such month.

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” specified in the Annuity Exhibit for such Covered Life. 

22

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 the later of the Annuity Commencement Date and the first day of the month in which you attain age 65.  However, if your 65th birthday falls on the first of a month, the increase will start on the later of the Annuity Commencement Date and the first day of the month before the month in which you attain age 65.  The amount of the increase will be the amount specified as the “Special Benefit Amount” in the Annuity Exhibits.  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.  The increase will start on the later of the Annuity Commencement Date and the first day of the month in which you attain age 65.  However, if your 65th birthday falls on the first of a month, the increase will start on the later of the Annuity Commencement Date and the first day of the month before the month in which you attain age 65.  The amount of the increase will be the amount specified as the “Level Benefit Amount” in the Annuity Exhibits. 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 Annuity Exhibits.  If the Annuity Exhibits misstate your age or the age of your Contingent Life, 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 Annuity Exhibits multiplied by the Spousal Joint and Survivor Life Annuity Pop-Up Increase Factor. 

If a portion of your Pre 62+1 Covered Life Amount is attributable to a “Disability Temporary Amount” as specified in the Annuity Exhibits, 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 Annuity Exhibits for your Annuity Form as the “Contingent Life Amount.”

However, if your Contingent Life attains age 65 on the first of a month, the increase will start on the later of the date that monthly payments begin to your Contingent Life and the first day of the month before such 65th birthday.   The amount of the increase will be the amount specified as the “Special Benefit Amount” in the Annuity Exhibits.
 

23

If your Contingent Life has a Level Benefit Rider, then the “Contingent Life Amount” will be increased.  The increase will start on the later of the date that monthly payments begin to your Contingent Life or the first day of the month in which your Contingent Life attains age 65.  However, if your Contingent Life attains age 65 on the first of a month, the increase will start on the later of the date that monthly payments begin to your Contingent Life and the first day of the month before such 65th birthday.

We will make 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 amount (A) multiplied by the sum of (B) and (C), where:

(A) is the Total Plan Refund Death Benefit (as specified in the Annuity Exhibits) less the sum of both (i) and (ii) below paid 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):
(i) is the Pre 1985 Part B Primary Amount (as specified in the Annuity Exhibits) multiplied by three.
(ii) is the Post 1985 Part B Primary Amount (as specified in the Annuity Exhibits), 
(B) is the Pre 1985 Death Benefit Percentage (as specified in the Annuity Exhibits) multiplied by one-third, and
(C) is one minus the Pre 1985 Death Benefit Percentage.

“Covered Life Amount” means an amount that is specified in the Annuity Exhibits for your Annuity Form as the “Covered Life Amount.”

		
	2.4
	Limitation on Assignment

Except as expressly provided in this Provision II, no Covered Life, Contingent Life or Beneficiary may (i) assign, pledge or otherwise transfer his or her rights hereunder, or (ii) enter into a transaction in which one or more Annuity Payments are anticipated or accelerated, or (iii) use a Representative to effectuate any transaction described in clause (i) or (ii).  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.  

25

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 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 

26

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 the Covered Life's spouse if living, otherwise to the estate of the last surviving recipient of the annuity payments or a Representative thereof.

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 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 

27

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 Life (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 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.
