AMENDED AND RESTATED FUND PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT

THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED FUND PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT is made and entered into as of June 30, 1998 by and among PRUCO LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NEW JERSEY (the "Company") and AMERICAN CENTURY INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT, INC. ("Manager").

WHEREAS, the Company offers to the public certain individual variable

universal life contracts, variable annuity contracts and individual variable

life insurance contracts (collectively, the "Contracts"); and

WHEREAS, the Company wishes to offer as investment options under the

Contracts, one or more of the finds listed on EXHIBIT A hereto (the "Funds"),

each of which is a series of mutual fund shares registered under the Investment

Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Investment Company Act"); and

WHEREAS, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the Manager

desires to make shares of the Funds available as an investment option under the

Contracts and to retain the Company to perform certain administrative services

on behalf of the Funds;

NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and the Manager agree as follows:

1. TRANSACTIONS IN THE FUNDS. Subject to the terms and conditions of this

Agreement, the Manager will cause shares of the Funds to be made available to be

purchased, exchanged, or redeemed, by the Company on behalf of Contract owners

through the Accounts (defined in Section 6(a) below) through a single account

per Fund at the net asset value applicable to each order. The Funds' shares

shall be purchased and redeemed on a net basis in such quantity and at such time

as determined by the Company to satisfy the requirements of the Contracts for

which the Funds serve as underlying investment media. Dividends and capital

gains distributions will be automatically reinvested in full and fractional

shares of the Funds.

2. ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES. The Company shall be solely responsible for

providing all administrative services for the Contract owners. The Company

agrees that it will maintain and preserve all records as required by law to be

maintained and preserved, and will otherwise comply with all laws, rules and

regulations applicable to the marketing of the Contracts and the provision of

administrative services to the Contract owners.

3. PROCESSING AND TIMING OF TRANSACTIONS.

(a) The Funds hereby appoint the Company as their agent for the limited

purpose of accepting purchase and redemption orders for Fund shares from the

Contract owners. On each day the New York Stock Exchange (the "Exchange") is

open for business (each, a "Business Day"), the Company may receive instructions

from the Contract owners for the purchase or redemption of shares of the Funds

("Orders"). Orders received and accepted by the Company prior to the close of

regular trading on the Exchange (the "Close of Trading") on any given Business

Day (currently, 3:00 p.m. Central time) and transmitted to the Funds' transfer

agent by 8:30 a.m. Central time on the next following Business Day will be

executed at the net asset value determined as of the Close of Trading on the

previous Business Day ("Day 1"). Any Orders received by the Company after the

Close of Trading, and all Orders that are transmitted by the Company after 8:30

a.m. Central time on the next following Business Day, will be executed at the

net asset value next determined following receipt of such Order. The day as of

which an Order is executed pursuant to the provisions set forth above is

referred to herein as the "Effective Trade Date".

(b) By 5:30 p.m. Central time on each Business Day, the Manager or its

agent will provide to the Company,

via facsimile or other

electronic

transmission acceptable to the Company, the Funds' net asset value, dividend and

capital gain information and, in the case of income funds, the daily accrual for

interest rate factor (mil rate), determined at the Close of Trading. If the

Manager provides the Company with materially incorrect share net asset value

information through no fault of the Company, the Company on behalf of the

separate accounts shall be entitled to an adjustment to the number of shares

purchased or redeemed to reflect the correct share net asset value. Any material

error in the calculation of net asset value per share, dividend or capital gain

information shall be reported to the Company promptly upon discovery.

provide to the Manager via facsimile or other electronic transmission acceptable

to the Manager a report stating whether the Orders received by the Company from

Contract owners by the Close of Trading on the preceding Business Day resulted

in the Accounts being a net purchaser or net seller of shares of the Funds. As

used in this Agreement, the phrase "other electronic transmission acceptable to

the Manager" includes the use of remote computer terminals located at the

premises of the Company, its agents or affiliates, which terminals may be linked

electronically to the computer system of The Manager, its agents or affiliates

(hereinafter, "Remote Computer Terminals").

(d) Upon the timely receipt from the Company of the report described in (c)

above, the Funds will execute the purchase or redemption transactions (as the

case may be) at the net asset value computed as of the Close of Trading on Day

1. Payment for net purchase transactions shall be made by wire transfer to the

custodial account designated by the Funds on the Business Day next following the

Effective Trade Date. Such wire transfers shall be initiated by the Company's

bank prior to 3:00 p.m. Central time and received by the Funds prior to 5:00

p.m. Central time on the Business Day next following the Effective Trade Date.

If payments for a purchase Order is not timely received, such Order will be

executed at the net asset value next computed following receipt of payment.

Payments for net redemption transactions shall be made by wire transfer by the

Funds to the account designated by the appropriate receiving party within the

time period set forth in the applicable Fund's then-current prospectus;

provided, however, the Funds will use all reasonable efforts to settle all

redemptions on the Business Day following the Effective Trade Date. Within one

week of the transaction, the Manager will send or cause to be sent a written

confirmation of all trades to the Company's Separate Accounts Department in the

form of a statement detailing the Company's total shares owned, Effective Trade

Date, shares purchased and sold and the net asset value of the shares. On any

Business Day when the Federal Reserve Wire Transfer System is closed, all

communication and processing rules will be suspended for the settlement of

Orders. Orders will be settled on the next Business Day on which the Federal

Reserve Wire Transfer System is open and the Effective Trade Date will apply.

4. PROSPECTUS AND PROXY MATERIALS.

(a) The Manager shall provide to the shareholder of record copies of the

Funds' proxy materials, periodic fund reports to shareholders and other

materials that are required by law to be sent to the Funds' shareholders. In

addition, the Manager shall provide the Company with a sufficient quantity of

prospectuses of the Funds to be used in conjunction with the transactions

contemplated by this Agreement, together with such additional copies of the

Funds' prospectuses as may be reasonably requested by Company. If the Company

provides for pass-through voting by the Contract owners, the Manager will

provide the Company with a sufficient quantity of proxy materials for each

Contract owner. If requested by the Company in lieu of printed prospectuses, the

Manager or its designee shall provide such documentation (including a "camera

ready" copy of the new prospectus as set in type or, at the request of the

Company, as a diskette in the form sent to the Funds' printer) and other

assistance as is reasonably necessary in order for the parties hereto once

each year (or more frequently if the prospectus for the Shares is supplemented

or amended) to have the prospectus for the Contracts, prospectuses for other

mutual funds in which the Contracts may be invested, and the Funds' new

prospectus printed together in one document. Such documentation shall be

provided in electronic format no later than April 15 of each year. If the

Manager fails to provide such documentation in a timely manner through no fault

of its own and such delay causes the Company to incur additional costs, the

Manager shall reimburse the Company for any reasonable and actual out-of-pocket

expenses directly attributable to such delay upon submission of any expense

accounting the Manager reasonably may require. Such out-of-pocket expenses shall

not include overtime for employees of the Company.

(b) The cost of preparing, printing and shipping of the prospectuses, proxy

materials, periodic fund reports and other materials of the Funds to the Company

shall be paid by the Manager or its agents or affiliates; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,

that if at any time the Manager or its agent reasonably deems the usage by the

Company of such items to be excessive, it may, prior to the delivery of any

quantity of materials in excess of what is deemed reasonable, request that the

Company demonstrate the reasonableness of such usage. If the Manager believes

the reasonableness of such usage has not been adequately demonstrated, it may

request that the Company pay the cost of printing (including press time) and

delivery of any excess copies of such materials. Unless the Company agrees to

make such payments, the Manager may refuse to supply such additional materials

and this section shall not be interpreted as requiring delivery by the Manager

of any copies in excess of the number of copies to be provided to existing

Contract owners.

periodic fund reports and other materials of the Funds to the Contract owners

shall be paid by the Company and shall not be the responsibility of the Manager

or the Funds.

5. COMPENSATION AND EXPENSES.

(a) The Accounts shall be the sole shareholder of Fund shares purchased for

the Contract owners pursuant to this Agreement (the "Record Owners"). The

Company and the Record Owners shall properly complete any applications or other

forms required by the Manager or the Funds' transfer agent from time to time.

(b) The Manager acknowledges that it will derive a substantial savings in

administrative expenses, such as a reduction in expenses related to postage,

shareholder communications and recordkeeping, by virtue of having a single

shareholder account per Fund for the Accounts rather than having each Contract

owner as a shareholder. In consideration of performance by the Company of the

administrative services and performance of all other obligations under this

Agreement by the Company, the Manager will pay the Company a fee (the

"Administrative Services Fee") equal to 25 basis points (0.25%) per annum of the

average aggregate amount invested by the Company in the Funds, based on the

average aggregate market value of investments (on behalf of the Contract owners)

in the Funds by the Company, its subsidiaries and affiliates that offer

insurance products, up to an average aggregate investment in the Funds of $100

million. For all assets invested in the Funds by the Company, its subsidiaries

and affiliates that offer insurance products, over $100 million, the Manager

will pay the Company an Administrative Services Fee of 30 basis points (0.3 0%)

per annum of the average aggregate market value of the investments over $100

million.

management fee, another corporation for the type of administrative services to

be provided by the Company to the Contract owners. The parties agree that the

payments by the Manager to the Company, like its payments to such other

corporation, are for administrative services only and do not constitute payment

in any manner for investment advisory services or for costs of distribution.

(d) For the purposes of computing the payment to the Company contemplated

by this SECTION 5, the average aggregate amount invested by the Accounts in the

Funds over a one month period shall be computed by totaling the Company's

aggregate investment (share net asset value multiplied by total number of shares

of the Funds held by the Company) on each Business Day during the month and

dividing by the total number of Business Days during such month.

(e) The Manager will calculate the amount of the payment to be made

pursuant to this SECTION 5 at the end of each calendar quarter and will make

such payment to the Company within 30 days thereafter. The check for such

payment will be accompanied by a statement showing the calculation of the

amounts being paid by the Manager for the relevant months and such other

supporting data as may be reasonably requested by the Company and shall be

mailed to:

claims, expenses, damages or liabilities (including amounts paid in settlement

thereof) or litigation

expenses

(including

legal and other

expenses)

(collectively, "Losses"), to which the Indemnified Parties may become subject,

insofar as such Losses (i) result from a breach by the Manager of a material

provision of this Agreement, or (ii) arise out of or are based upon any untrue

statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any

performing its obligations under this Agreement.

(b) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Manager and the

the commencement of action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect

thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party hereunder, notify the

indemnifying party of the commencement thereof but the omission so to notify the

indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to

any indemnified party otherwise than under this SECTION 10. In case any such

action is brought against any indemnified

party,

and it notifies the

indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be

entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish to, assume

the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party, and

after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its

election to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be

liable to such indemnified party under this SECTION 10 for any legal or other

expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the

defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation.

(d) If the indemnifying party assumes the defense of any such action, the

indemnifying party shall not, without the prior written consent of the

indemnified parties in such action, settle or compromise the liability of the indemnified parties in such action, or permit a default or consent to the entry of any judgment in respect thereof, unless in connection with such settlement, compromise or consent, each indemnified party

11. POTENTIAL CONFLICTS.

(a) The Company has received a copy of an application for exemptive relief,

as amended, filed by the Manager on December 21, 1987, with the SEC and the

order issued by the SEC in response thereto (the "Shared Funding Exemptive

Order"). The Company has reviewed the conditions to the requested relief set

forth in such application for exemptive

relief. As set forth in such

application, the Board of Directors of the Funds (the "Board") will monitor the

Funds for the existence of any material irreconcilable conflict between the

interests of the contract owners of all separate accounts investing in the

Funds. An irreconcilable material conflict may arise for a variety of reasons,

including: (i) an action by any state insurance regulatory authority; (ii) a

change in applicable federal or state insurance, tax, or securities laws or

regulations,

or a public ruling,

private letter ruling,

no-action or

interpretative letter, or any similar actions by insurance, tax or securities

regulatory authorities; (iii) an administrative or judicial decision in any

relevant proceeding; (iv) the manner in which the investments of any portfolio

are being managed; (v) a difference in voting instructions given by variable

annuity contract owners and variable life insurance contract owners; or (vi) a

decision by an insurer to disregard the voting instructions of contract owners.

The Board shall promptly

inform the Company if it determines that an

irreconcilable material conflict exists and the implications thereof.

(b) The Company will report any potential or existing conflicts of which it

is aware to the Board. The Company will assist the Board in carrying out its

responsibilities under the Shared Funding Exemptive Order by providing the Board

with all information reasonably necessary for the Board to consider any issues

raised. This includes, but is not limited to, an obligation by the Company to

inform the Board whenever contract owner voting instructions are disregarded.

members, determines that a material irreconcilable conflict exists with regard

to contact owner investments in the Funds, the Board shall give prompt notice to

all Participating Companies. If the Board determines that the Company is

responsible for causing or creating said conflict, the Company shall at its sole

cost and expense, and to the extent reasonably practicable (as determined by a

majority of the disinterested Board members), take such action as is necessary

to remedy or eliminate the irreconcilable material conflict. Such necessary

action may include but shall not be limited to:

(i) withdrawing the assets allocable to the Accounts from the Funds

and reinvesting such assets in a different investment medium or

submitting the question of whether such segregation should be

implemented to a vote of all affected contract owners and as

appropriate, segregating the assets of any appropriate group

(i.e., annuity contract owners, life insurance contract owners,

or variable contract owners of one or more

Participating

Companies) that votes in favor of such segregation, or offering

to the affected contract owners the option of making such a

change; and/or

(ii) establishing a new registered management investment company or

managed separate account.

(d) If a material irreconcilable conflict arises as a result of a decision

by the Company to disregard its contract owner voting instructions and said

decision represents a minority position or would preclude a majority vote by all

of its contract owners having an interest in the Funds, the

Company at its sole cost, may be required, at the Board's election, to withdraw

the Accounts' investment in the Funds and terminate this Agreement; provided,

however, that such withdrawal and termination shall be limited to the extent

required by the foregoing material irreconcilable conflict as determined by a

majority of the disinterested members of the Board.

(e) For the purpose of this SECTION 11, a majority of the disinterested

Board members shall determine whether or not any proposed action adequately

remedies any irreconcilable material conflict, but in no event will the Funds be

required to establish a new funding medium for any Contract. The Company shall

not be required by this Section 11 to establish a new funding medium for any

Contract if an offer to do so has been declined by vote of a majority of the

Contract owners materially adversely affected by the irreconcilable material

conflict.

12. TERMINATION. This agreement shall terminate as to the sale and issuance

of new Contracts:

(a) at the option of either the Company or the Manager upon six months'

advance written notice to the other;

(b) at the option of the Company if the Funds' shares are not available for

any reason to meet the requirement of Contracts as determined by the Company.

Reasonable advance notice of election to terminate shall be furnished by

Company;

formal proceedings against the broker-dealer or broker-dealers marketing the

Contracts, any Account, the Company, the Manager, or the Funds by the National

Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the "NASD"), the SEC or any other

regulatory body;

(d) upon termination of the Management Agreement between the Funds and

Manager. Notice of such termination shall be promptly furnished to the Company.

This SUBSECTION (d) shall not be deemed to apply if contemporaneously with such

termination a new contract of substantially similar terms is entered into

between the Funds and Manager;

(e) upon the requisite vote of Contract owners having an interest in any of

the Funds to substitute for the Funds' shares the shares of another investment

company in accordance with the terms of Contracts for which the Funds' shares

had been selected to serve as the underlying investment medium. The Company will

give 60 days' written notice to the Funds and the Manager of any proposed vote

to replace the Funds' shares;

(f) upon assignment of this Agreement unless made with the written consent

of all other parties hereto;

(g) if the Funds' shares are not registered, issued or sold in conformance

with Federal law or such law precludes the use of Fund shares as an underlying

investment medium of Contracts issued or to be issued by the Company. Prompt

notice shall be given by either party should such situation occur;

(h) at the option of the Manager, if the Manager reasonably determines in

good faith that the Company is not offering shares of the Funds in conformity

with the terms of this Agreement or applicable law;

(i) at the option of any party hereto upon a determination that continuing

to perform under this Agreement would, in the reasonable opinion of the

terminating party's counsel, violate any applicable federal or state law, rule,

regulation or judicial order;

(j) at the

option of the

Company if a Fund fails to meet the

diversification requirements specified in Section 6(b)(ii) hereof;

(k) at the option of any party to this Agreement, upon another party's

material breach of any provision of this Agreement; or

(1) at the option of the Company upon three months' advance written notice

if a Fund substantially changes its investment objective or investment style.

13. CONTINUATION OF AGREEMENT. Termination as the result of any cause

listed in SECTION 12 shall not affect the Manager's obligation to continue to

cause the Funds to furnish their shares under the terms of this Agreement to

Contracts then in force for which its shares serve or may serve as the

underlying medium (unless such further sale of Fund shares is proscribed by law

or the SEC or other regulatory body). Following termination, the Manager shall

not have any Administrative Services payment obligation to the Company (except

for payment obligations accrued but not yet paid as of the termination date).

14. NON-EXCLUSIVITY. Each of the parties acknowledges and agrees that this

Agreement and the arrangement described herein are intended to be non-exclusive

and that each of the parties is free to enter into similar agreements and

arrangements with other entities.

15. SURVIVAL. The provisions of SECTION 8 (use of names) and SECTION 10

(indemnity) of this Agreement shall survive termination of this Agreement.

16. AMENDMENT. Neither this Agreement, nor any provision hereof, may be

amended, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only by an instrument in

writing signed by all of the parties hereto.

17. NOTICES. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be given

or made in writing and shall be delivered personally, or sent by telex,

telecopier, express delivery or registered or certified mail, postage prepaid,

return receipt requested, to the party or parties to whom they are directed at

the following addresses, or at such other addresses as may be designated by

notice from such party to all other parties.
