For the initial Guaranteed Interest Rate Period, the Withdrawal Charge Period is equal in duration to the lesser of seven years, or the number of years in the initial Guaranteed Interest Rate Period. The Withdrawal Charge percentage depends on the number of Contract Anniversaries that have elapsed since the initial Purchase Payment was made.

The Additional Interest Rate Credit applicable in the first Contract Year is shown on the Contract Data pages and is based on the value of your initial Purchase Payment. We will notify you before the end of the initial GIR period of the Additional Interest Rate Credit applicable for the first subsequent GIR Period.

ADJUSTED CONTRACT VALUE: The Contract Value as of the Annuity Date less any applicable Premium Tax Charge, and Market Value Adjustment. This amount is applied to the applicable annuity table to determine the initial Annuity Payment.

ANNUITANT: The person named on the Contract Data pages, unless subsequently changed, upon whose continuation of life an Annuity Payment involving life contingencies depends. If the Annuitant dies before the Annuity Date, the Co-Annuitant, if applicable, becomes the Annuitant, if the requirements for changing the Annuity Date are met (see definition of Annuity Date). If there is no surviving or eligible Co-Annuitant, and the Annuitant is not the Owner, the Owner becomes the Annuitant upon the death of the Annuitant. You then have 60 days from the date we receive Due Proof of Death of the Annuitant or Co-Annuitant to name a new Annuitant.

ANNUITY DATE: The date the first Annuity or Settlement Payment to the Payee is due. The Annuity Date is shown on the Contract Data pages. You must have our permission to change the Annuity Date. If there is a new Annuitant due to the death of the prior Annuitant or assignment of the Contract, and the new Annuitant is older than the prior Annuitant, the Annuity Date will be based on the age of the new Annuitant. If the new Annuitant is younger than the prior Annuitant, the Annuity Date will not change. Any such changed Annuity Date cannot be earlier than the first Contract Anniversary, or later than the Contract Anniversary next following the new Annuitant's 90th birthday (or the 10th Contract Anniversary if later) and must be consistent with applicable law at the time. The maximum annuity age is the later of age 90 and the 10th Contract Anniversary.

ANNUITY OR SETTLEMENT PAYMENTS: The series of payments made to you or any named Payee after the Annuity Date as described under the Annuity or Settlement option selected.

ANNUITY PERIOD: The period of time, beginning on the Annuity Date, during which Annuity or Settlement Payments are made.

We will notify you at your last known address of the subsequent GIR Period options and the corresponding Guaranteed Interest Rates offered by us at that time. The declared rate may be higher or lower than the GIR for the preceding GIR Period, but will never be less than the Guaranteed Minimum Interest Rate shown on the Contract Data pages.

GUARANTEED INTEREST RATE PERIOD OR GIR PERIOD: Is the period of years during which the GIR applies. The initial GIR Period is shown on the Contract Data pages and begins on the Contract Date. Any subsequent GIR Period will begin on the first day following the expiration date of the GIR Period then in effect. A GIR Period that does not exceed 5 years will always be available.

GOOD ORDER: An instruction received at the Annuity Service Center, utilizing such forms, signatures and datings as we require, that is sufficiently complete and clear that we do not need to exercise any discretion to follow such instructions. We will notify you if an instruction is not in Good Order.

JOINT OWNER: The Joint Owner, if any, is named on the Contract Data pages as the Joint Owner, who shares ownership rights with the Owner as defined under this Contract. You may add, change or remove a Joint Owner, subject to our underwriting rules. The Contract may never have more than one Joint Owner.

MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT OR MVA: Is the amount by which any portion of the Contract Value, in excess of the Charge-Free Amount, is adjusted if withdrawn or annuitized more than 30 days prior to the end of the Guaranteed Interest Rate Period.

PAYEE: The person who has a right to receive Annuity or Settlement Payments under the Annuity and Settlement Options provision of this Contract.

PREMIUM TAX CHARGE: A charge that may be deducted from the Purchase Payment or Contract Value for premium taxes owed by us to any governmental entity.

MVA-2002 NY

PURCHASE PAYMENT: The payment you make to this Contract that is accepted by us. The initial Purchase Payment is made on the Contract Date. Subsequent Purchase Payments may be made during the 30 day period prior to the end of a GIR Period.

WE, OUR AND US: Pruco Life Insurance Company of New Jersey.

WITHDRAWAL CHARGE: A charge assessed on partial or full withdrawals during the Withdrawal Charge Period. The Withdrawal Charge equals a percentage of the amount withdrawn that is subject to a charge. The Withdrawal Charges are shown on the Contract Data pages.

WITHDRAWAL CHARGE PERIOD: The period of time during the Accumulation Period, during which we may impose a Withdrawal Charge. Withdrawal Charges are applied to withdrawals of amounts in the Contract. The Withdrawal Charge Period is shown on the Contract Data pages.

YOU AND YOUR: The Owner of the Contract if there is no Joint Owner. If there is a Joint Owner, the Owner and Joint Owner acting together. If we receive written authorization in Good Order from both the Owner and Joint Owner, upon our consent we will allow either to represent the entire ownership interest in the Contract, until either party has revoked that authorization. This Contract will treat the Owner as having contributed 100% of the Purchase Payments. Therefore, we will treat the Owner as the taxpayer with respect to all distributions made under the Contract while he or she is the Owner, whether or not a Joint Owner is also named.

PURCHASE PAYMENTS

PURCHASE PAYMENTS: The initial Purchase Payment must be paid on the Contract Date. Subsequent Purchase Payments may be made during the 30 day period prior to the end of a GIR Period. We reserve the right to decline any Purchase Payment.

CONTRACT VALUE

Your Contract Value is the total of all amounts credited to your Contract as of any Business Day as a result of your Purchase Payments and the increases and decreases described below.

On the Contract Date, the Contract Value is equal to the initial Purchase Payment less any Premium Tax charge. The Contract Value is increased by interest credited and subsequent Purchase Payments.

Withdrawals and Withdrawal Charges and any Premium Tax Charge or other tax charge decrease the Contract Value.

Application of an MVA may increase or decrease the Contract Value.

SUBSEQUENT GUARANTEED INTEREST RATE PERIODS

SUBSEQUENT GUARANTEED INTEREST RATE PERIODS: At least 15 days but not more than 45 days prior to the end of a GIR Period, we will notify you at your last known address of the subsequent GIR Period options and the corresponding Guaranteed Interest Rates offered by us at that time. You have 30 days prior to the end of the current GIR Period to provide us a written request in Good Order to elect one of the following options.

1. Continue the Contract and elect a subsequent GIR Period. The subsequent GIR Period can be of the same or different length of time offered by us at the time of election. The new GIR Period elected must end prior to the Annuity Date. If we do not offer a subsequent GIR Period that ends prior to the Annuity Date, the Contract can be continued with a one-year, or series of one-year GIR Periods until the Annuity Date. You may also at this time make a subsequent Purchase Payment which will be consolidated with your Contract Value and allocated to the single GIR Period you elect.

2. Elect an Annuity or Settlement option.

3. Withdraw part of the Contract Value without incurring a Withdrawal Charge or Market Value Adjustment and elect a GIR Period of the same or different length as the current GIR Period for the remaining Contract Value. The remaining Contract Value cannot be less than the minimum amount shown on the Contract Data pages. If we do not offer a subsequent GIR Period that ends prior to the Annuity Date, the Contract can be continued with a one-year, or series of one-year GIR Periods until the Annuity Date.

4. Withdraw the full Contract Value without incurring a Withdrawal Charge or Market Value Adjustment and this Contract will terminate.

If we do not receive a written request in Good Order during the 30 day period preceding the end of the current GIR Period, the new GIR Period will be the same length as the GIR Period expiring with a new GIR equal to or greater than the Guaranteed Minimum Interest Rate. If we do not offer such period, or if the length of the new GIR Period would expire on or after the Annuity Date, the new GIR Period will be one year. If the Annuitant is attained age 91 or older at the end of the current GIR Period, all subsequent GIR periods will be one year.

WITHDRAWAL CHARGES: After the Initial GIR Period, the first subsequent GIR Period will begin a new Withdrawal Charge Period as described in the Contract Data pages. Reduced Withdrawal Charges will apply to withdrawals made during the first subsequent GIR Period if the Annuitant is age 90 or older on the first day of that first subsequent GIR Period. No Withdrawal Charges will apply beginning with the second subsequent GIR Period.

No Withdrawal Charges will apply if any subsequent GIR Period is equal to one year.

MVA-2002 NY

MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT

MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT: Amounts withdrawn or annuitized prior to the end of a GIR Period may be subject to a Market Value Adjustment. The MVA is applied as a positive or negative adjustment to the applicable portion of the Contract Value by multiplying the withdrawal amount before deduction of any applicable Withdrawal Charge by the MVA factor.

The MVA factor is equal to:

( )n/12

( 1+i )
(-----------) --1
(1+j+.0025 )
( )

where: i = is the Guaranteed Interest Rate currently credited to this Contract at
the time of the withdrawal, annuitization or settlement.

j = is the current credited interest rate at the time of the withdrawal,
annuitization or settlement for a new issue of this policy form with a GIR
Period equal to n/12 years. If such a GIR Period is not offered by us, the
rate will be determined using linear interpolation of the nearest offered
rates.

n = is the number of months remaining in this Contract's GIR Period
(rounded up).

A higher current interest rate for new issues of this policy form with a GIR Period equal to the number of years remaining in the current GIR Period may result in a negative MVA and thus a lower Contract Surrender Value. A lower current interest rate for new issues of this policy form with a GIR Period equal to the number of years remaining in the current GIR Period may result in a positive MVA and thus a higher Contract Surrender Value.

A Market Value Adjustment will not be applied when the death benefit is payable, for a Charge-Free Amount withdrawal or within 30 days prior to the end of the current GIR Period.

A detailed description of the MVA formula has been filed with the Superintendent.

If the Company no longer offers this policy form at any time, the crediting rates available for subsequent Purchase Payments will be used to determine the value of j in the MVA formula above.

WITHDRAWALS

WITHDRAWALS: During the Accumulation Period you may, upon a request in Good Order, make a total or partial withdrawal of the Contract Surrender Value. Any applicable Withdrawal Charge will be applied after any Market Value Adjustment. We have the right to defer payment of any withdrawal for a period not to exceed six months from the date your request is received in Good Order.

We will pay the amount of any withdrawal within 7 days of receipt of request in Good Order unless the "Suspension or Deferral of Payments Provision" is in effect. If we postpone payment of a withdrawal for more than 7 days after we receive your withdrawal request, we will pay interest. The interest will be calculated daily from the date we receive your request, at the effective annual rate of 3%. No interest will be paid if the amount of interest calculated is less than $25.

Each partial withdrawal must be for an amount that is not less than the minimum amount shown on the Contract Data pages. The minimum Contract Value that must remain in the Contract after a partial withdrawal in order to keep the Contract inforce is shown on the Contract Data pages. If the amount of the withdrawal requested would reduce the Contract Value below this minimum, we will give you the maximum amount available that, with the Withdrawal Charge and Market Value Adjustment, would not reduce the Contract Value below such minimum. Special rules may apply for IRAs.

WITHDRAWAL CHARGE: A Withdrawal Charge may apply if you make a withdrawal during the Withdrawal Charge Period. The Withdrawal Charge is a percentage of the amount withdrawn that is subject to a charge. For the initial Guaranteed Interest Rate Period, the Withdrawal Charge depends on the number of Contract Anniversaries that have elapsed since the initial Purchase Payment was made. After the initial Guaranteed Interest Rate Period, the first subsequent Guaranteed Interest Rate Period will begin a new Withdrawal Charge Period as described in the Contract Data pages. No Withdrawal Charge will apply beginning with the second subsequent GIR Period.

If a withdrawal is effective on the day before a Contract Anniversary, the Withdrawal Charge percentage used will be the one as of the following Contract Anniversary. If you request a partial withdrawal, we will deduct an amount from the Contract Value that is sufficient to pay the Withdrawal Charge and any applicable Market Value Adjustment, and provide you the amount requested. The Withdrawal Charge schedule is shown on the Contract Data pages.

For purposes of determining the Withdrawal Charge, withdrawals of the Charge-Free Amount will be taken first. Withdrawals in excess of the Charge-Free Amount may be subject to a Withdrawal Charge.

Withdrawal Charges will not be greater than that permitted by any applicable law or regulation.

BENEFICIARY

BENEFICIARY: The Beneficiary designation in effect on the Contract Date will remain in effect until changed. The Beneficiary is entitled to receive the benefits to be paid at the death of the First to Die, during the Accumulation Period. The Owner must be the primary Beneficiary of the Joint Owner, and the Joint Owner must be the primary Beneficiary of the Owner. Other than primary Beneficiaries, Beneficiaries must be the same for both the Owner and Joint Owner.

When a Beneficiary is designated, any relationship shown is to the Owner unless otherwise specified.

To show priority among Beneficiaries, we will label the classes, so that the class with first priority is called the primary class, the class with next priority is called the secondary class, and so on. The following statements apply to Beneficiaries unless the Contract Data pages, Contract endorsement or any change request that we have processed specifies otherwise:

One who survives the First to Die will have the right to be paid only if no one in a prior class survives the First to Die.

One who has the right to be paid will be the only one paid if no one else in the same class survives the First to Die.

Two or more in the same class who have the right to be paid will be paid in equal shares. If no one survives the sole Owner, we will pay in one sum to the Owner's estate.

When there is insufficient evidence to determine the order of death then, unless state law prohibits, we will deem the Owner to be the last survivor and make payment to the Owner's Beneficiary.

Before we make a payment, we have the right to decide what proof we need of the identity, age or any other facts about any persons designated as Beneficiaries. If Beneficiaries are not designated by name and we make payment(s) based on that proof, we will not have to make the payment(s) again.

CHANGE OF BENEFICIARY: To initiate a change of Beneficiary, call the toll-free number listed on your statement or contact the representative who sold you the Contract. We may also ask you to send us the Contract. The change will take effect on the date the written request was signed, subject to our receipt of the request in Good Order at our Annuity Service Center. Once changed any previous Beneficiary's interest will end. Even if the Owner or Joint Owner is not living when we receive the request, the change will take effect retroactively as of the date the request is signed. We will not be liable for any payment made or action taken before we record the change. Any irrevocable Beneficiary must give written consent before we will change that Beneficiary.

MVA-2002 NY

11

DEATH BENEFIT

During the Accumulation Period, we will pay a death benefit to the Beneficiary upon the death of the First to Die. The death benefit is payable as of the date we receive Due Proof of Death, and any other documentation we request in Good Order. No payment made prior to the date we receive Due Proof of Death will be considered part of the death benefit payable to the Beneficiary. A Market Value Adjustment will not be applied when the death benefit is payable.

The death benefit is equal to the Contract Value as of the date that Due Proof of Death is received in Good Order at the Prudential Annuity Service Center, less any applicable Premium Tax.

The Beneficiary may, within 60 calendar days of providing Due Proof of Death, elect to take the death benefit under one of the death benefit payout options listed below, provided that any payout option shall not include a period certain that exceeds the life expectancy of the Beneficiary. The Beneficiary will be the sole measuring life in determining the amount of any such payout option. If no payout option is selected within the 60 days, the death benefit will be payable as a lump sum.

If the Owner and Joint Owner are spouses at the time of death, the Contract will continue and the surviving spouse will become the Owner. The surviving spouse may, within 60 calendar days of providing Due Proof of Death, elect to take the death benefit under any of the payout options available under this Contract. If the Contract continues, and there is a new Annuitant who is older than the prior Annuitant, the Annuity Date will be based on the age of the new Annuitant.

If the Owner and Joint Owner are not spouses at the time of the Owner or Joint Owner's death, the Contract will not continue, the death benefit becomes payable, and the Beneficiary will be required to choose one of the death benefit payout options described below. In that event, the payout described in Choice 2 and the beginning of the distribution described in Choice 3 will be based on the date of death of the First to Die.

The death benefit payout options are:

Choice 1 -- lump sum payment of the death benefit. We will not impose any
Withdrawal Charges or MVA on amounts paid as a lump sum
payment; or

Choice 2 -- the payment of the entire death benefit within 5 years of the
date of death of the First to Die. We will impose an MVA on
any withdrawal made during the 5 year period unless taken
within the 30 day period prior to the end of the GIR Period;
or

Choice 3 -- payment of the death benefit under an Annuity or Settlement
Option over the lifetime of the Beneficiary or over a period
not extending beyond the life expectancy of the Beneficiary.
Distribution must begin within one year of the date of death
of the First to Die.

Any portion of the death benefit not applied under Choice 3 within one year of the date of death of the First to Die must be distributed within 5 years of the date of death of the First to Die.

Once a death benefit becomes payable, the Payee's interest in any Annuity Benefit under the Contract will cease. We have the right to defer payment of any death benefit for a period not to exceed six months from the date of our receipt of Due Proof of Death. Interest on the death benefit will be paid in accordance with applicable law.

MVA-2002 NY

12

DEATH OF ANNUITANT DURING THE ACCUMULATION PERIOD: If the Annuitant dies before the Annuity Date, the Co-Annuitant, if applicable, becomes the Annuitant. If there is no surviving Co-Annuitant, and the Annuitant was not the Owner, the Owner becomes the Annuitant. If the Owner becomes the Annuitant as a result of the death of the Annuitant or Co-Annuitant, if any, the Owner has the right to name a new Annuitant within 60 days from the date we receive Due Proof of Death of the Annuitant or Co-Annuitant. If no new Annuitant is named during that 60-day period, the Owner will remain the Annuitant. If the Owner is a non-natural person, the death of the Annuitant will be treated as the death of the Owner, a new Annuitant may not be designated, and the Annuitant will be deemed to be the Owner for purposes of determining the death benefit.

DEATH OF ANNUITANT DURING THE ANNUITY PERIOD: If the Annuitant dies on or after the Annuity Date, the Annuity or Settlement Option then in effect will govern whether or not we will continue to make any payments. The death of a non-Annuitant Owner or Joint Owner has no effect on the payout during the Annuity Period.

PAYMENT OF DEATH BENEFIT: We will require Due Proof of Death and any other documentation we request in Good Order before any death benefit is paid. All death benefits will be paid in accordance with applicable law or regulations governing death benefit payments. We have the right to defer payment of any death benefit for a period not to exceed six months from the date of our receipt of Due Proof of death.

SPECIAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS: There are special tax rules that apply to IRA and other qualified contracts during both the Accumulation Period and Annuity Period governing distributions upon the death of the Owner. These rules are contained in provisions in the attached endorsements and supersede any other distribution rules contained in the Contract.

The preceding provisions regarding the death of the Owner are intended to satisfy the distribution at death requirements of section 72(s) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. We reserve the right to amend this Contract by subsequent endorsement as necessary to comply with applicable tax requirements, if any, which are subject to change from time to time. Such additional endorsements if necessary to comply with amended tax requirements, will be mailed to you and become effective within 30 days of mailing, unless you notify us in writing within that time frame that you reject the endorsement.

GENERAL PROVISIONS

THE CONTRACT: The entire Contract consists of this Contract, and any attached endorsements or riders. This Contract may be changed or altered only by our President or Secretary. No agent may change this Contract. Any change, modification or waiver must be made in writing. This Contract may not be modified by us without your consent except as may be required by applicable law, such as changes necessary to comply with IRS requirements for annuity contracts, or as set forth in this Contract.

ASSIGNMENT OF A CONTRACT: A request in Good Order specifying the terms of an assignment of a Contract must be provided to the Annuity Service Center. We are under no obligation to verify the assignment's validity or sufficiency. We will not be liable for any payment made or action taken before we record the assignment. If any Owner is living on the Annuity Date and an assignment is in effect on that date, we have the right to pay the Contract Surrender Value in one lump sum to the assignee where notice in Good Order is received. Partial assignments, collateral or otherwise, are not allowed without our approval. We reserve the right to restrict or refuse any assignment.

We will not be responsible for the validity or tax consequences of any assignment. Any assignment made after the death benefit has become payable will be valid only with our consent. If the Contract is assigned, your rights may only be exercised with the consent of the assignee of record.

NON-PARTICIPATING IN SURPLUS: This Contract does not share in any distribution of our profits or surplus.

MVA-2002 NY

INCONTESTABILITY: We will not contest this Contract. We consider all statements made in the application for this Contract to be representations, not warranties.

MISSTATEMENT OF AGE OR SEX: We may require proof of age of the Annuitant before making any life contingent Annuity Payment provided for by this Contract. If the age or sex of the Annuitant has been misstated, the amount payable will be the amount that the Adjusted Contract Value would have provided at the true age or sex.

Once Annuity Payments have begun, any underpayments including 5% interest, will be made up in one sum with the next Annuity Payment. Overpayments including 5% interest, will be deducted from the future Annuity Payments until the total is repaid.

CONTRACT SETTLEMENT: This Contract must be returned to us upon any settlement.

REPORTS: We will send you a quarterly statement showing your Contract Value and other relevant information about your Contract. This report will be sent to your last known address.

TAXES: Any taxes, including any Premium Taxes and any other type of tax (or component thereof) measured by or based upon any portion of the Purchase Payments we receive or the Contract Value at the time of annuitization, paid to any governmental entity will be charged against the Contract Value. We will, in our sole discretion, determine when taxes have resulted from receipt by us of the Purchase Payments or upon annuitization. At our discretion, we may pay taxes when due and deduct that amount from the Contract Value at a later date. Payment at an earlier date does not waive any right we may have to deduct amounts at a later date. We will deduct any withholding taxes required by applicable law.

EVIDENCE OF SURVIVAL: Before we make a payment, we have the right to require proof of continued life and any other documentation we need to make a payment. We can require this proof for any person whose life or death determines whether or to whom we must make the payment.

PROTECTION OF PROCEEDS: No Beneficiary may commute, encumber, alienate or assign any payments under this Contract before they are due. To the extent permitted by law, no payments will be subject to the debts, contracts or engagements of any Beneficiary or to any judicial process to levy upon or attach the same for payment thereof.

VALUES AND BENEFITS

Any cash values, paid up annuities and death benefits that may be available under this Contract are not less than the minimum benefits required by the laws of the state of New York.

ANNUITY AND SETTLEMENT OPTIONS

GENERAL: On the Annuity Date, the Adjusted Contract Value will be applied under the Annuity or Settlement Option you have selected. If the payment under any option selected would be less than $20 per month, we reserve the right to pay out the Adjusted Contract Value in a lump sum. We guarantee that the dollar amount of each payment, once determined, will not be affected by variations in mortality or expense experience. If an annuity option is selected, the payment amount will be calculated using the Annuity Settlement Tables shown on pages 16 and 17. The annuity benefits at the time of their commencement will not be less than those that would be provided by the application of "an amount" to purchase any single consideration immediate annuity contract offered by the company at the time to the same class of annuitants. "The amount" is defined as the greater of the cash surrender benefit or 95% of what the cash surrender benefit would be if there were no withdrawal charge.

SELECTION OF AN ANNUITY OR SETTLEMENT OPTION: You may select an Annuity or Settlement Option by notifying us of the selected option in Good Order. If no Annuity or Settlement Option is selected or if the chosen Option is not received in Good Order, Option 2, Life Income Annuity Option, will automatically be applied, unless prohibited by applicable law. You may send us a request in Good Order at least 30 days in advance of the Annuity Date, to select or change the Annuity or Settlement Option.

ANNUITY AND SETTLEMENT OPTIONS: This Contract provides for payments under one of the Annuity or Settlement Options described below. Any other Annuity or Settlement Option acceptable to us may be selected.

OPTION 1 - FIXED PERIOD ANNUITY OPTION. We will make equal payments for a period of at least 10 years, but not more than 25 years, based on the Adjusted Contract Value on the Annuity Date. At your choice, we will make such payments annually, semi-annually, quarterly or monthly. Table 1 shows the minimum amounts we will pay.

OPTION 2 - LIFE INCOME ANNUITY OPTION. We will make payments for as long as the Annuitant lives, with payments certain for 120 months. At your choice, we will make such payments annually, semi-annually, quarterly or monthly. Table 2 shows the minimum amounts we will pay.

OTHER ANNUITY OR SETTLEMENT OPTIONS: We may offer or consent to other settlement options, including life income annuity options with payments certain for periods other than 120 months. Contact the representative who sold you the Contract or call the toll-free number listed on your quarterly statement for information.

ANNUITY: Unless you designate another Payee, you will be the Payee of the Annuity Payments. The Adjusted Contract Value will be applied to the applicable Annuity Table contained in this Contract based upon the annuity option you have selected. The amount of the first payment for each $1,000 of Adjusted Contract Value is shown in the Annuity Tables. If when Annuity Payments begin we are using tables of annuity rates for these Contracts that result in larger Annuity Payments, we will use those tables instead. Annuity Payments will depend on the age and sex of the Annuitant, where permitted.

ANNUITY BENEFITS NOT SUBJECT TO WITHDRAWAL CHARGES: Any amount used to provide income under Option 1 or Option 2 will not be subject to Withdrawal Charges. In addition to the methods of payment described in the Contract, you may choose from other methods of payment which are not subject to a Withdrawal Charge. If you begin Annuity payments, or take a Settlement option, at a time other than the 30 day period prior to the end of a GIR Period, then we will adjust your Contract Value by an MVA.

ANNUITY SETTLEMENT TABLES

Tables 1 and 2 below are applied to the Adjusted Contract Value to compute the minimum amount of the annuity payment. Table 1 is used to compute the minimum annuity payment under Option 1 (Fixed Period Annuity Option). Table 2 is used to compute the minimum annuity payment under Option 2 (Life Income Annuity Option).

The rates in Tables 1 and 2 are applied per $1000 of Adjusted Contract Value as applicable.

The annuity payments in Table 2 are based on the Annuitant's Adjusted Age and sex. The Adjusted Age is the Annuitant's age last birthday prior to the date on which the first Annuity payment is due, adjusted as shown in the "Translation of Adjusted Age" Table.

When we computed the amounts shown in Table 2 we adjusted the Annuity 2000 Mortality Table to an age last birthday basis, less two years, with projected mortality improvements (modified Scale G). We used an interest rate of 3% per year.

We will calculate annuity payments for other certain periods using the same interest and mortality assumptions as in Table 2.
