Limitation Provisions
The Prudential Insurance Company of America

Annuitant Contract No.
XXXX XXX xx xxx xxx
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The contract is amended at issue to include these provisions. They apply even
though the contract may state otherwise:
Non-transferable
This contract may not be sold, assigned, discounted, or pledged for any purpose
to anyone except us.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Retirement Options
For settlements that start while the Annuitant is living:
An annuity of Type D may be chosen only if the period will not exceed the life
expectancy of the Annuitant, as we determine for persons of the same age. If
there is a contingent payee, the period may not exceed the joint life and last
survivor expectancy of the Annuitant and the contingent payee, as we determine
for persons of the same age.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Death Options
1. All of the annuity settlement options described for individual
beneficiaries in the contract will be available to a beneficiary entitled
to settlement at the death of the Annuitant only if the beneficiary is the
Annuitant's spouse. If the death of the annuitant occurs before the annuity
date, payments to the spouse-beneficiary must start before the date the
annuitant would have attained age 75.
For an individual beneficiary who is someone other than the spouse, the
choice may be made from among variable and fixed-dollar annuities of Type A
(Life Annuity), Type B (Life Annuity, 10 year Minimum Period) and Type D
(Annuity for a Specified Period), but only if the certain or specified
period for any Type B or Type D annuity chosen does not exceed, on the date
payments are to begin, the life expectancy of the payee as we determine for
persons of the same age.
Also, if the beneficiary is someone other than the spouse, payments to the
beneficiary must start within one year after the Annuitant's death.
2. If death proceeds become payable to a beneficiary who is not a natural
person, we will pay the proceeds promptly. An annuity settlement may not be
chosen for such a beneficiary, except that if the death giving rise to the
payment of death proceeds occurs before the annuity date, we may consent to
a Type D annuity, if requested for the beneficiary, provided the period
selected does not end more than five years after the date of death.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A change might be needed later to conform this contract to the requirements of
the Internal Revenue Code, regulations or published rulings or to the
requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. If so, we
will have the right to make the change(s) without a signed request and to
provide a form of amendment to the contract.
