Policies with Respect to Inter-Business Transactions and Transfers (Excluding
     Taxation)

     The transactions in subparagraphs (a) through (h) below will be permitted
between the Closed Block Business and the Financial Services Businesses. Any
such transfers (including lending) by the Closed Block Business may be out of
either Closed Block Assets, Surplus and Related Assets or assets of Prudential
Holdings, LLC's or the Corporation's Closed Block Business; provided that any
transfer (including lending) of Closed Block Assets to Prudential Insurance's
Financial Services Businesses remains subject to compliance with applicable
regulatory requirements and is subject to the terms of the Indenture.

     (a) The Closed Block Business may lend to the Financial Services Businesses
(but the Closed Block Business within Prudential Insurance may not lend to the
Financial Services Businesses outside Prudential Insurance), and the Financial
Services Businesses (inside or outside Prudential Insurance) may lend to the
Closed Block Business, in either case (i) on terms no less favorable to the
Closed Block Business than the terms for a comparable loan among any other
portions of Prudential Insurance's general account; (ii) if Prudential Holdings,
LLC is the lender, from the Debt Service Coverage Account (as defined in the
Indenture) within Prudential Holdings, LLC subject to the limitations in the
Indenture; (iii) for cash management purposes only in the ordinary course of
business and on market terms pursuant to the internal short-term cash management
facility ("short-term cash management" means the management of daily positive or

entities that are pooled in the Corporation's money market investment pool on a
daily basis); or (iv) as contemplated for the management of Prudential Holdings,
LLC's assets.

     (b) Other transfers, exchanges, investments, purchases or sales of assets
between the Regulatory Closed Block and businesses outside of the Regulatory
Closed Block, including the Financial Services Businesses, are permitted if such
transactions (x) (i) benefit the Regulatory Closed Block, (ii) are consistent
with the Closed Block Memorandum, (iii) are executed at demonstrable fair market
values and (iv) do not exceed, in any calendar year, more than 10% of the
statutory statement value of the invested assets of the Regulatory Closed Block
as of the beginning of that year or (y) are pursuant to the Tax Agreements.

     (c) Any lending pursuant to any inter-business loan that may be established
to reflect usage of the funds held in the DSCA - Subaccount FSB or the DSCA -
Subaccount FSB (Deposit) (each as defined in the Indenture) to pay Debt Service
(as defined in the Indenture) on the IHC Debt and any other amounts owed to the
Bond Insurer is permitted.

     (d) In addition to the foregoing, the Financial Services Businesses in any
legal entity may lend to the Closed Block Business in the same or any other
legal entity on market terms on either a subordinated or non-subordinated basis,
as may be approved by

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

the Corporation's Board of Directors and, if applicable, the Board of Directors
of Prudential Insurance.

     (e) The Corporation's and Prudential Insurance's respective Boards of
Directors may designate: (i) that a capital contribution to Prudential Insurance
be for the benefit of the Closed Block Business within Prudential Insurance; or
(ii) that assets of the Financial Services Businesses within Prudential
Insurance be transferred to the Closed Block Business within Prudential
Insurance in the form of a loan on market terms that is subordinated to all
existing obligations of the Closed Block Business within Prudential Insurance.
In the absence of the specific designation referred to in clause (i), any
capital contribution to Prudential Insurance will be for the benefit of the
Financial Services Businesses.

     (f) The respective Boards of Directors of the Corporation and Prudential
Insurance have discretion to transfer assets of the Financial Services
Businesses to the Regulatory Closed Block, or use such assets for the benefit of
Regulatory Closed Block policyholders, if they (as applicable) believe such
transfer or usage is in the best interests of the Financial Services Businesses,
and such transfers or usage may be made without requiring any repayment of the
amounts transferred to the Regulatory Closed Block or so used or the payment of
any other consideration from the Closed Block Business.

     (g) Such other transactions on market terms as may be approved by the Board
of Directors of the Corporation and if applicable, the Board of Directors of
Prudential Insurance.

     (h) Cash payments for Administrative Services Fees from the Closed Block
Business to the Financial Services Businesses will be based on the charges set
forth in the Indenture. Cash payments for expenses of the Regulatory Closed
Block that are paid from within the Regulatory Closed Block to the portion of
the Closed Block Business that is outside of the Regulatory Closed Block within
Prudential Insurance will be calculated on a formulaic basis consistent with the
Closed Block Memorandum as set forth in the Indenture.

Accounting Policies with Respect to the Allocation of Assets, Liabilities and
Expenses

     (1) The Corporation will allocate all its assets, liabilities, equity and
earnings between the Financial Services Businesses and the Closed Block
Business, and the Corporation will account for them as if they were separate
legal entities, in accordance with GAAP.

     (2) For financial reporting purposes, revenues, administrative, overhead,
and investment expenses, taxes other than federal income taxes and certain
commissions and commission-related expenses associated with the Closed Block
Business will be allocated between the Closed Block Business and the Financial
Services Businesses in accordance with GAAP. Interest expense and routine
maintenance and

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

administrative costs generated by the IHC Debt will be considered directly
attributable to the Closed Block Business and will therefore be allocated in
their entirety to the Closed Block Business except as indicated below.

     (3) Any transfers of funds between the Closed Block Business and the
Financial Services Businesses will typically be accounted for as either
reimbursement of expense, investment income, return of principal or a
subordinated loan, except as contemplated under "-- Polices with Respect to
Inter-Business Transactions and Transfers (Excluding Taxation)" above and "--
Policies with Respect to Inter-Business Transactions and Transfers Regarding
Taxation" below.

     (4) The Closed Block Business will exclude any expenses and liabilities
from litigation affecting the Closed Block Policies, and these expenses and
liabilities will be part of, and borne by, the Financial Services Businesses.
The Financial Services Businesses will bear any expenses and liabilities from
litigation affecting the Closed Block Policies and the consequences of certain
adverse tax determinations related to the IHC Debt, as noted below. These
expenses will therefore be reflected in the Financial Services Businesses, and
not in the Closed Block Business. In connection with the sale of the Class B
Stock and the issuance of the IHC Debt, the Corporation has agreed to indemnify
the investors in the Class B Stock pursuant to the Subscription Agreement and
may agree to indemnify other persons with respect to certain matters, and such
indemnification will be borne by the Financial Services Businesses. For the nine
months ended September 30, 2001, a reserve of $160 million was recorded in the
Traditional Participating Products segment for death and other benefits due with
respect to policies for which no death claim has been received but where death
has occurred; upon demutualization this reserve will become a liability of the
Financial Services Businesses, and any subsequent reestimation of this reserve
(upward or downward) will be included in adjusted operating income of the
Financial Services Businesses.

     (5) For financial reporting purposes, administrative expenses recorded by
the Closed Block Business, and the related income tax effect, will be based upon
actual expenses incurred under GAAP. Any difference between the cash amount
transferred from the Closed Block Business to the Financial Services Businesses
as described in paragraph (h) under "-- Policies with Respect to Inter-Business
Transactions and Transfers (Excluding Taxation)" above and actual expenses
incurred as recorded under GAAP will be recorded, on an after-tax basis at the
applicable current rate, as direct adjustments to the respective GAAP equity
balances of the Closed Block Business and the Financial Services Businesses
without the issuance of shares of either Business to the other Business.
Statutory expenses will be calculated based upon the actual cash payments.
Internal investment expenses recorded and paid by the Closed Block Business, and
the related income tax effect, will be based upon actual expenses incurred under
GAAP and in accordance with an investment management agreement between
Prudential Insurance and Prudential Investment Management, Inc. and other
agreements governing record keeping, bank fees, accounting and reporting, asset
allocation, investment policy and planning and analysis.

                                      -5-

Tax Allocations/Tax Treatment

     For financial reporting purposes, the Closed Block Business within each
legal entity will be treated as if it were a consolidated subsidiary under the
consolidated federal income tax sharing agreement of the Corporation and its
affiliates. Accordingly, if the Closed Block Business within any legal entity
has taxable income, it will recognize its share of income tax as if it were a
consolidated subsidiary of the Corporation. If the Closed Block Business within
any legal entity has losses or credits, it will recognize a current income tax
benefit.

Policies with Respect to Inter-Business Transactions and Transfers Regarding
Taxation

     If the Closed Block Business has taxable income attributable to tax periods
(or portions of periods) after the Effective Time, it will pay its share of
federal income tax in cash to the Financial Services Businesses. If the Closed
Block Business has losses or credits attributable to tax periods (or portions of
periods) after the Effective Time, it will receive its federal income tax
benefit in cash from the Financial Services Businesses. If any losses or credits
cannot be utilized in the consolidated federal income tax return of the
Corporation for the year in which such losses or credits arise, the Closed Block
Business will still receive the full benefit in cash, it being understood that
the Financial Services Businesses will be entitled to subsequently recover such
benefit for itself if the losses or credits are ultimately actually utilized in
computing estimated payments or in the consolidated federal income tax returns
of the Corporation, but the failure to recover such benefit will have no effect
on the Closed Block Business (and will not affect the Corporation's obligations
under the Tax Agreements, reflecting these policies).

     Certain tax costs and benefits are determined under the Plan of
Reorganization with respect to the Regulatory Closed Block using statutory
accounting rules that may give rise to tax costs or tax benefits prior to the
time that those costs or benefits are actually realized for tax purposes. If at
any time the Closed Block Business is allocated any such tax cost or a tax
benefit under the Plan of Reorganization that is not realized at that same time
under the relevant tax rules but will be realized in the future, the Closed
Block Business will pay such tax cost or receive such tax benefit at that time,
but it shall be paid to or paid by the Financial Services Businesses. When such
tax cost or tax benefit is subsequently realized under the relevant tax rules,
the tax cost or tax benefit shall be allocated to the Financial Services
Businesses. The foregoing principles will be applied so as to prevent any item
of income, deduction, gain, loss, credit, tax cost or tax benefit being taken
into account more than once by the Closed Block Business (including the
Regulatory Closed Block) or the Financial Services Businesses. For this purpose,
Pre-Closing Tax Attributes shall be taken into account with any such Pre-Closing
Tax Attributes relating to the Regulatory Closed Block being attributed to the
Closed Block Business and all other Pre-Closing Tax Attributes being attributed
to the Financial Services Businesses.

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

     The Closed Block Business will also pay or receive its appropriate share of
tax and related interest resulting from adjustments attributable to the
settlement or other resolution of tax controversies or the filing of amended tax
returns to the extent that such amounts relate to controversies or amended
returns arising with respect to the Closed Block Business and attributable to
tax periods (or portions of periods) after the Effective Time, except to the
extent that such tax is directly attributable to the characterization of the IHC
Debt as other than debt for tax purposes, in which case the tax will be borne
solely by the Financial Services Businesses. If a change of law after the
Effective Time, including any change in the interpretation of any law, results
in the recharacterization of all or part of the IHC Debt as other than debt for
tax purposes or a significant reduction in the income tax benefit associated
with the interest expense on all or part of the IHC Debt, the Financial Services
Businesses will continue to pay the foregone income tax benefit to the Closed
Block Business for as long as the IHC Debt remains outstanding or any amounts
are owed to the Bond Insurer as if such recharacterization or reduction of
actual benefit has not occurred. The Financial Services Businesses will bear all
tax liabilities not properly attributable to the Closed Block Business. Any
settlement involving the Closed Block Business will be made in good faith and
with due regard to the merits of the position taken by the Closed Block
Business.

     Charges for premium taxes, guaranty fund payments as well as state and
local income taxes and franchise taxes will be allocated between the Closed
Block Business and the Financial Services Businesses in the manner in which they
are allocated between the Regulatory Closed Block and other than the Regulatory
Closed Block within Prudential Insurance, in accordance with the Closed Block
Memorandum. For purposes of calculating the state and local income tax for the
Closed Block Business within Prudential Insurance, the actual Prudential
Insurance state and local income tax rates will be used. For purposes of
calculating the state and local income tax on the Closed Block Business outside
Prudential Insurance (including the state and local income tax benefits related
to the interest payable on the IHC Debt) a fixed rate of 1% will be used.

               long-term incentive award plans, the precise amounts of which, as

               are unknown to such Employee;

<PAGE>

         (ii)  Grants under the Employer's or any Participating Subsidiary's
               sales bonus award plans, the precise amounts of which, as of the

               are unknown to such Employee; and

         (iv)  For Insurance Sales Professionals described in Section
               3.1(a)(iii)(c) above, all amounts in excess of $100,000 of Annual

               the Plan Year subsequent to the year in which

PAGE 6 - DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

               such Employee executes a Participation Agreement in accordance
               with the terms of Section 3.4.

     For purposes of this Section 3.2(a), the term "Eligible Compensation" does
     not include any (a) salary payments made to Eligible Employees (except as
     may be included under the terms of Section 3.2(a)(iv) above), (b) any
     supplemental bonuses paid to an Eligible Employee that are not part of a
     compensation plan sponsored by the Employer or any Participating
     Subsidiary, (c) any severance payments paid to an Eligible Employee, or (d)

     Employee, whether or not as part of an employment or severance agreement
     with such Eligible Employee, or are otherwise known or determinable by such
     Employee as of the time of such Eligible Employee's enrollment in the Plan
     pursuant to a Participation Agreement.

     (b)  Form of Deferral.   The amount of Eligible Compensation that Eligible
     Employees may defer under the Plan with respect to any subsequent Plan Year
     (the "Deferral Commitment") shall be indicated on any Participation
     Agreement as a percentage (in five percent (5%) increments up to eighty
     percent (80%)) for Participants that are Insurance Sales Professionals; and
     for all other Participants, a percentage (in five percent (5%) increments
     up to one hundred percent (100%).

     (c)  Insurance Sales Professional Matching Contribution.   For any
     Eligible Employee who is an Insurance Sales Professional and who makes a
     Deferral Commitment under the Plan in any Plan Year,  an Insurance Sales
     Professional Matching Contribution shall be made on such Participant's
     behalf with respect to the Deferral Commitment in an amount equal to three
     percent (3%) of such Deferral Commitment.

3.3  Deferral Period

     Once the Eligible Employee has completed a Participation Agreement with
respect to an amount of Eligible Compensation, a new Deferral Period begins on
the first day of the Plan Year in which Eligible Compensation would otherwise be
payable unless deferred pursuant to the terms of the Plan. Such Deferral Period
will extend, at the Participant's election set forth in the Participation
Agreement, to any of the following:

     (a)  A specified date in a year subsequent to the year in which the
          Eligible Compensation deferred under the terms of this Plan would
          otherwise have been payable to such Participant;

     (b)  The Participant's Retirement;

     (c)  January of the year following the Participant's Retirement; or

<PAGE>

    (d)  The Participant's death, Disability or Termination of Employment;

    provided, however, effective for Plan Years beginning after Plan Year 2000,
    -----------------
    (i) to the degree that a Participant has elected (a) above, payments from
    the Participant's Account must commence no later than twelve (12) months
    from the Participant's Retirement, and (ii) in all events, irrespective of
    the Participant's election of a specified date, Retirement, January 1 of
    the year following Retirement or Disability or Termination of Employment,
    payments shall commence under the Plan no later than the last day of the
    Plan Year in which any such Participant has attained age 70 1/2, as
    determined under the books and records of the Company.

3.4  Enrollment

PAGE 7 - DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

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

          (b) Limited Eligibility for Enrollment if Eligible Employee Retires in
    Plan Year 2000. For an otherwise Eligible Employee who Retires prior to the
    start of the annual enrollment period for Plan Year 2000, such Eligible
    Employee may complete a Participation Agreement to defer Eligible
    Compensation, if any, that would otherwise be payable in the following Plan
    Year. Under these circumstances, the Participation Agreement must be
    completed and returned before the earlier of his/her date of Retirement or
    September 30th of the year such Employee retires. If a Participation
    Agreement is not received by Corporate Compensation by such date, such
    otherwise Eligible Employee is deemed to have elected not to defer any
    Eligible Compensation under the Plan for Plan Year 2000.

          Effective for Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 2001, an
     otherwise Eligible Employee who Retires prior to the start of the annual
     enrollment period for a Plan Year will no longer be eligible to complete a
     Participation Agreement to defer otherwise Eligible Compensation with
     respect to such Plan Year.  However, in the event that an otherwise
     Eligible Employee (i) completes a Participation Agreement to defer
     otherwise Eligible Compensation with respect to a particular Plan Year,
     (ii) is an Employee on the day prior to the day such Plan Year commences
     (December 31st) and (iii) subsequently Retires in such Plan Year prior to
     the deferral of Eligible Compensation that would otherwise be credited to
     the Participant's Account, such election for that Plan Year will continue
     in full force and effect, and the amounts set forth under the Participation
     Agreement will be credited to the Participant's Account under the Plan.

     (c)  Limited Eligibility for Enrollment in the Event of a Termination of
     Employment.  An otherwise Eligible Employee who (i) is not eligible to
     Retire at the time that he/she incurs a Termination of Employment  and (ii)
     incurs such Termination before completing a Participation Agreement for the
     subsequent Plan Year may not elect to defer any Eligible Compensation that
     may otherwise become payable in the subsequent Plan Year.

          Effective for Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 2001,if an
     otherwise Eligible Employee incurs a Termination of Employment after
     completing a Participation Agreement for such Plan Year, but prior to the
     deferral of Eligible Compensation that would

<PAGE>

     otherwise be credited to the Participant's Account, such election for that
     Plan Year will be deemed null and void and no amounts will be credited to
     the Participant's Account under the Plan.

3.5  Vesting

     Participants will, at all times, be fully vested in the notional value
of their Account balances under the Plan (which, due to notional gains, losses
and interest, may be greater or lesser than the amount of Eligible Compensation
actually deferred under the Plan).

                           ARTICLE IV--DISTRIBUTIONS

4.1  Distribution Election Requirements

PAGE 8 - DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

     Upon enrollment, the Participant must elect a payment date, a general
distribution option for amounts deferred under the Plan, and a distribution
option in the event of Termination of Employment in order for the Participation
Agreement to be deemed valid by the Committee (or its representative, Corporate
Compensation).

     (a)   Payment Date.  Participants will elect a payment date to commence
     payment of  amounts deferred each Plan Year that they participate in the
     Plan.  The payment date options are:

           (i)   Retirement;

           (ii)  January of the year following Retirement; or

           (iii) A future specified date in a year subsequent to the year in
                 which the Eligible Compensation deferred under the terms of
                 this Plan would otherwise have been payable to such
                 Participant;

     provided that, (A) to the degree that a Participant has elected (iii)
     -------------
     above, payments from the Participant's Account must commence no later than
     twelve (12) months from the Participant's Retirement, and (B) in all
     events, irrespective of the Participant's election of a specified date,
     Retirement, or  January of the year following Retirement, payments shall
     commence under the Plan no later than the last day of the Plan Year in
     which any such Participant has attained age 70  1/2,  as determined under
     the books and records of the Company.

     (b)  General Distribution Option.  Participants will choose one of the
     following general distribution options for payments commencing at the
     payment date, as follows:

          (i)    A single, lump sum payment;

          (ii)   36 monthly installments;

          (iii)  60 monthly installments; or

          (iv)   120 monthly installments

<PAGE>

(c)  Distribution Option in Case of Termination. Participants will also
     choose a distribution option in the event of the Participant's Termination
     of Employment with the Employer or any Participating Subsidiary prior to
     Retirement, which are as follows:

          (i)    A single, lump sum payment payable as soon as practicable after
                 such termination; or

          (ii)   36 monthly installments beginning January of the year following
                 the Participant's Termination of Employment.

4.2  Payments

     (a)  General Rule. Payments will be made as of the date or event elected in
     the Participation Agreement, as modified in accordance with the provision
     of the Plan. Payments will be made according to the distribution payment
     option elected.

     (b)  Small Account Balances - Lump Sum Cashout. Notwithstanding the
     foregoing , in the event the Participant's Account balance is ten thousand
     dollars ($10,000) or less at the time a distribution of the Participant's
     Account balance would commence by reason of the

PAGE 9 - DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

     application of Sections 4.1, 4.6 or 4.7, the amount of such Participant's
     Account balance shall be paid out in a lump sum notwithstanding the form of
     benefit payment elected by the Participant under the terms of Section
     4.1(b) or (c), Section 4.6 or 4.7, as applicable. For purposes of this
     Section 4.2(b), a Participant's Account balance shall be valued in
     accordance with the general provisions of Section 6.4(a).

4.3  Hardship Withdrawal

     In the event of Financial Hardship, a Participant may request the Committee
for authorization to discontinue future deferrals pursuant to a Participation
Agreement and/or for payment of all or a portion of the amounts credited to a
Participant's Account to be accelerated (a "Hardship Withdrawal").  In the event
the Participant requests that deferrals of Eligible Compensation are to be
discontinued and/or payment advanced through a Hardship Withdrawal, the amount
involved cannot exceed the funds required to satisfy the Financial Hardship.
The Participant will be required to produce any information that the Committee
finds necessary or appropriate to make a determination of Financial Hardship.
Any Hardship Withdrawal payable to a Participant shall be payable in a lump sum.

     In the event the Participant receives a Hardship Withdrawal, any subsequent
deferrals of Eligible Compensation to be made in such Plan Year shall cease
(including, if applicable, any Insurance Sales Professional Matching
Contributions), and the Participant will be precluded from deferring additional
Eligible Compensation in the subsequent Plan Year.

4.4  Early Distribution With Penalty

     A request for an Early Distribution With Penalty of the Participant's
entire Account balance may be made by submitting a Deferred Compensation
Withdrawal Form at any time during a Plan Year. The Account balance distributed
will be reduced by a penalty of ten percent (10%) of the Account. For purposes
of any such Early Distribution With Penalty, the Account will be valued as of
the last day of the month immediately preceding the date on which the request is
received and will be paid in a lump sum within thirty (30) days of receipt by
the Committee (or its representative, Corporate Compensation) of such Withdrawal
Form.

<PAGE>

     If an Early Distribution With Penalty payment is made, all further
deferrals of Eligible Compensation (including, if applicable, any Insurance
Sales Professional Matching Contributions) shall cease for the remainder of the
Plan Year and for the subsequent Plan Year.

     Any penalty amounts withheld from the Early Distribution With Penalty are
taxable income to the Participant, and may be used by the Committee in its sole
discretion.

4.5  Distributions on the Participant's Death

     Notwithstanding the distribution and payment options elected, payment of
the entire account balance in a single lump sum will be made to the
Participant's designated Beneficiary (unless the Committee, in its sole
discretion, should decide otherwise)upon notification of the Participant's
death.  Should the Participant's death occur when monthly installments have
already started, the balance of the Participant's account shall become due and
payable in one single lump sum (unless the Committee, in its sole discretion,
should decide otherwise) to the Beneficiary within thirty (30) days of
notification of Participant's death.

4.6  Distributions on the Participant's Disability

     Should the Participant incur Disability, payment(s) in the elected form
specified for General Distribution Options will begin within thirty (30) days of
notification of the Participant's Disability. Should Disability occur when
monthly installments have already started, payments will continue for the
remainder of the elected installment period.

PAGE 10 - DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

4.7  Distributions On the Participant's Termination of Employment

     Upon a Participant's Termination of Employment for any reason other than
Retirement, death, or Disability, distributions will be made in accordance with
the options elected on the Participation Agreement. Should Termination of
Employment occur when monthly installments have already started, payments will
continue for the remainder of the elected installment period.

                      ARTICLE V--BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION

5.1  Beneficiary Designation

     A Participant shall have the right, at any time, to designate one (1) or
more persons or an entity as Beneficiary (both primary as well as secondary) to
whom benefits under this Plan shall be paid in the event of Participant's death
prior to complete distribution of the Participant's Account. Each Beneficiary
designation shall be in writing, on a form specified by the Committee (or its
representative, Corporate Compensation), and shall be filed with the Committee
(or its representative, Corporate Compensation) during the Participant's
lifetime, and any such election shall apply to the Participant's entire Account
balance. If a Participant fails to designate a Beneficiary or if a Beneficiary
does not survive the Participant, payment will be made to the Participant's
estate in the event of the Participant's death.

5.2  Changing Beneficiary

<PAGE>

     A Participant may change his/her Beneficiary at any time by completing a
Beneficiary designation, again in writing on a form specified by the Committee
(or its representative, Corporate Compensation).  The change will take effect
only after it is received by the Committee (or its representative, Corporate
Compensation) and determined to be in good order.  Any previous Beneficiary's
interest in the Participant's Account under the Plan will end as of the date the
request is received and determined to be in good order, even if the Participant
is not living when the request is received, and any such election to change
Beneficiaries shall apply to the Participant's entire Account balance.

                             ARTICLE VI--ACCOUNTS

6.1  Participant Accounts

     An Account shall be established on behalf of each Participant under the
Plan, and all Eligible Compensation amounts that such Participant elects to
defer under the terms of the Plan (as well as any Insurance Sales Professional
Matching Contribution) shall be credited in such Account at the time it would
have otherwise been payable to the Participant (or, in the event of any
Insurance Sales Professional Matching Contribution, when the Eligible
Compensation related to such Matching Contribution would have been payable to
the Participant).

6.2  Earnings Indices and Investment Options for Accounts

PAGE 11 - DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

     A Participant's Account will be credited with notional interest, earnings
(and, where applicable, notional investment gain or loss) that are intended to
mirror the investment performance and results of the indices/notional investment
options selected by the Participant on the Participation Agreement beginning
with the date of deferral (or, if attributable to Insurance Sales Professional
Matching Contributions, the date such amounts are credited to the Account)
until such time as payment of the entire account balance is made.

     For Plan Year 2000, the available notional investment options under the
Plan are intended to mirror the performance of four of the investment options
available to participants of the Prudential Employee Savings Plan in 2000, as
follows: (a) the Fixed Rate Fund; (b) the Prudential Stock Index Fund; (c) the
Prudential Balanced Fund; and (d) the Prudential Jennison Growth Fund. For Plan
Years beginning on or after January 1, 2001, the available notional investment
options under the Plan are intended to mirror the performance of all of the
then-current investment options available to participants of the Prudential
Employee Savings Plan in such year. With respect to amounts deemed allocated to
the notional Fixed Rate Fund under the Plan, such amounts will be credited with
interest in the same general manner as interest would be credited to amounts
actually invested in the actual Fixed Rate Fund; with respect to amounts deemed
allocated to the other notional investment options under the Plan, such amounts
will be credited under the Plan as if the Participant had actually purchased
units of such separate account/mutual funds on the date of such deferral. To the
extent that various actual investment options are added to, or removed from, the
Prudential Employee Savings Plan, comparable changes shall be made in the
available notional investment options under this Plan, and any such changes
shall be communicated to Participants as soon as administratively practicable.

     A Participant may elect any combination of the available notional
investment options; provided, however, that the Participant's allocation of his
or her account must be stated in five percent (5%) increments.

6.3  Changing Indices
<PAGE>

     A Participant may change how the notional amounts reflected in his or her
Account are deemed invested by completing an Account Reallocation Form. Such
deemed investment allocations may be changed periodically, and in no event less
than once per calendar quarter. Changes will be effective as soon as
administratively practicable the first day of the following month.

     To the extent that additions to, or subtractions from, the number of
indices/notional investment options are made under this Plan, Participants will
be asked to complete an Account Reallocation Form to indicate if they wish to
reallocate their notional Account balances. In the event no such Form is
received, no changes to the Participant's Account will be made except that, in
the event a particular indices/notional investment option is eliminated and no
Form has been completed, the notional amounts credited in such eliminated index
shall be credited under the notional Fixed Account Fund as of the date of such
elimination (or as soon as administratively practicable thereafter).

6.4  Account Valuation and Reports

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

PAGE 12 - DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

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

                          ARTICLE VII--ADMINISTRATION

7.1  Administration of the Plan

     The Compensation Committee of the Board shall appoint a committee (the
"Committee") to administer the Plan, which shall be comprised of the Vice
President - Total Compensation, the Vice President - Employee Benefits and a
Vice President - Compensation of the Company.  In addition, a member of the Law
Department shall serve as a non-voting secretary of the Committee.  The
Committee shall maintain such procedures and records as will enable the
Committee to determine the Participants and their Beneficiaries who are entitled
to receive benefits under the Plan and the amounts thereof.  Further, the
Committee may elect to delegate its administrative responsibilities under the
Plan (including, but not limited to, the distribution of Participation
Agreements and the monitoring of the various recordkeeping services related to
Accounts under the Plan) to, among other entities, the Corporate Compensation
unit of the Company's Human Resources function ("Corporate Compensation").   To
the degree the delegation of such responsibilities is specifically referenced
under the terms of the Plan, the Committee shall be deemed to have so elected to
delegate such responsibilities to Corporate Compensation.

7.2  General Powers of Administration
<PAGE>

     Subject to oversight by the Compensation Committee of the Board, the
Committee shall have the exclusive right, power, and authority, in its sole,
full and absolute discretion, to interpret any and all of the provisions of the
Plan, to supervise the administration and operation of the Plan, and to consider
and decide conclusively any questions (whether of fact or otherwise) arising in
connection with the administration of the Plan or any claim for benefits arising
under the Plan. Any decision or action of the Committee shall be conclusive and
binding on all parties, including the Participants.

                ARTICLE VIII--AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF PLAN

8.1  Amendment of the Plan

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

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

             (ii)  relate to administrative practices under the Plan;

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

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

PAGE 13 - DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

     The Compensation Committee of the Board shall have the authority to adopt
     any other amendments to the Plan not encompassed under the terms of the
     preceding sentence.  Any such amendments must be made by written
     instrument, and notice of such amendments shall be provided as soon as
     practicable to Participants after their adoption.

     (b)  Amendments Related to Certain Corporate Transactions. Without limiting
     the provisions of Section 8.1(a) above, in the event of a corporate
     transaction or transactions involving the sale, spin-off or other
     disposition of assets or equity interests in the Employer or any
     Participating Subsidiary to an unaffiliated entity ("Third Party Acquirer")
     and which, as a result of such transaction or transactions, it is
     anticipated that Participants may be transferred to, or be employed by, the
     Third Party Acquirer or other entities which, as a result of such
     transaction, are no longer affiliated with the Employer (the "Transferred
     Participants"), the Company may amend the Plan to provide for the transfer
     of Account liabilities rather than the distribution of Account balances to
     such affected Participants in accordance with the terms of Section 4.1(c)
     and 4.7, as follows:

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

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

<PAGE>

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

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

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

8.2  Termination of the Plan

     The Company reserves the right to terminate the Plan in any respect and at
any time and may do so pursuant to a written resolution of the Compensation
Committee of the Board.

8.3  Limitations on Amendment or Termination of the Plan

PAGE 14 - DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

     Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary set forth in the Plan, any
amendment or termination of the Plan may not adversely affect the rights of any
Participant or Beneficiary to receive the amount of benefits earned and accrued
under the Plan prior to such amendment or termination; provided, however, that
                                                       -----------------

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

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

     (c)  any acceleration of payments of amounts accrued under the Plan by
     action of the Committee or the Compensation Committee or by operation of
     the Plan's terms; or

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

shall not be deemed to violate this provision.

                          ARTICLE IX--MISCELLANEOUS

9.1  Unfunded Plan/ Participant's Rights Unsecured and Unfunded
<PAGE>

     This Plan is an unfunded plan maintained primarily to provide deferred
compensation benefits for a select group of management or highly-compensated
employees within the meaning of Sections 201, 301 and 401 of ERISA, and
therefore is exempt from the provisions of Parts 2, 3 and 4 of Title I of ERISA.
Accordingly, no assets of the Company shall be segregated or earmarked to
represent the liability for accrued benefits under the Plan. Amounts referenced
in Participant Account statements are only recordkeeping devices reflecting such
liability for accrued benefits, and do not reflect any actual amounts credited.
The right of a Participant (or his or her Beneficiary) to receive a payment
hereunder shall be an unsecured claim against the general assets of the Company.
All payments under the Plan shall be made from the general funds of the Company.
The Company is not required to set aside money or any other property to fund its
obligations under the Plan, and all amounts that may be set aside by the Company
prior to the distribution of Account balances under the terms of the Plan remain
the property of the Company.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 9.1 shall preclude
the Company, in its sole discretion, after the Effective Date, from establishing
a "rabbi trust" or other vehicle in connection with the operation of this Plan,
provided that no such action shall cause the Plan to fail to be an unfunded plan
designed to provide deferred compensation benefits for a select group of
management or highly-compensated employees for purposes within the meaning of
Title I of ERISA.

9.2  Plan Is Not a Contract of Employment

     This Plan shall not constitute a contract of employment between the
Employer and/or any Participating Subsidiary and the Participant.  Nothing in
this Plan shall give a Participant the right to be retained in the service of
the Employer or to interfere with the right of the Employer to discipline or
discharge a Participant at any time.

9.3  Notice

     Any notice required or permitted under the Plan shall be sufficient if in
writing and hand delivered, sent by first class, registered or certified mail,
or by such other means as the Committee, in its sole discretion, may deem
appropriate.  Such notice shall be deemed as given as of the date of delivery
or, if delivery is made by mail, as of the date shown on the postmark or on the
receipt for

PAGE 15 - DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

registration or certification. Mailed notice to the Committee shall be directed
to the Company's address, c/o Corporate Compensation. Mailed notice to a
Participant or Beneficiary shall be directed to the individual's last known home
or office address in Employer's records.

9.4  No Guarantee of Benefits

     Nothing contained in the Plan shall constitute a guaranty by the Employer
or any other person or entity that the assets of the Company will be sufficient
to pay any benefit hereunder.

9.5  Non-Alienation Provision

     No interest of any person or entity in, or right to receive a benefit or
distribution under, the Plan shall be subject in any manner to sale, transfer,
assignment, pledge, attachment, garnishment, or other alienation or encumbrance
of any kind; nor may such interest or right to receive a distribution be taken,
either voluntarily or involuntarily for the satisfaction of the debts of, or
other obligations or claims against, such person or entity, including claims for
alimony, support, separate maintenance and claims in bankruptcy proceedings.

9.6  Applicable Law
<PAGE>

     The Plan shall be construed and administered under the laws of the State of
New Jersey, except to the extent that such laws are preempted by ERISA.

9.7  Taxes

     To the extent required by law, amounts accrued under the Plan shall be
subject to federal and state income, federal social security and federal or
state unemployment taxes during the year the services giving rise to such
amounts were performed (or, if later, when the amounts are both determinable and
not subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture). The Company, the Employer or
the Participating Subsidiary (as applicable) shall withhold from any payments
made pursuant to the Plan such amounts as may be required by federal, state or
local law, and the Company, the Employer or the Participating Subsidiary (as
applicable) further reserves the right: (a) to limit or reduce the amounts
intended to be deferred under the terms of the Plan as may be necessary or
appropriate in order to ensure that any required tax withholdings can be
deducted; and/or (b) to require the Participant to pay any taxes owed on such
amounts through payroll deduction.

9.8  Excess Payments

     If the compensation, years of service, age, or any other relevant fact
relating to any person is found to have been misstated, the Plan benefit payable
by the Company to a Participant or Beneficiary shall be the Plan benefit which
would have been provided on the basis of the correct information. Any excess
payments due to such misstatement, or due to any other mistake of fact or law,
shall be refunded to the Company or withheld by it from any further amounts
otherwise payable under the Plan.

9.9  No Impact on Other Benefits

     Amounts deferred and accrued under the Plan shall not be included in a
Participant's compensation for purposes calculating benefits under any other
plan, program or arrangement sponsored by the Employer or Participating
Subsidiary, unless such plan, program or arrangement so provides.

PAGE 16 - DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

9.10 Data

     Each Participant or Beneficiary shall furnish the Committee with all proofs
of dates of birth and death and proofs of continued existence necessary for the
administration of the Plan, and the Company shall not be liable for the
fulfillment of any Plan benefits in any way dependent upon such information
unless and until the same shall have been received by the Committee in a form
satisfactory to it.

9.11 Incapacity of Recipient

     If a Participant or other Beneficiary entitled to a distribution under the
Plan is living under guardianship or conservatorship, distributions payable
under the terms of the Plan to such Participant or Beneficiary shall be paid to
his or her appointed guardian or conservator and such payment shall be a
complete discharge of any liability of the Company, the Employer and the
Participating Subsidiary (as the case may be) under the Plan.

9.12 Usage of Terms and Headings

     Words in the masculine gender shall include the feminine and the singular
shall include the plural, and vice versa, unless qualified by the context. Any
headings are included for ease of reference only, and are not to be construed to
alter the terms of the Plan.
