Provision I. CONTRIBUTIONS - ACCOUNTS - CHARGES
1.1 CONTRIBUTIONS:
(a) Regular Contributions:
The contributions which are payable under this contract for a Participant
are the amounts of his compensation deferred pursuant to the Plan and
directed for payment hereunder. Contributions will be transmitted by the
Contract-Holder. A Participant is a person for whom contributions have
been paid under this contract and whose Participant's Accounts (see
section 1.2) have not been cancelled.
(To save words, male pronouns are used in this contract to refer to both
men and women.)
(b) Rollover Contributions:
An amount which qualifies as a rollover contribution pursuant to Federal
Internal Revenue Code may be transferred to and paid under this contract
as a contribution by the Contract-Holder on a Participant's behalf if
permitted by the Plan. Prudential may require proof that the amount paid
so qualifies.
1.2 PARTICIPANT'S ACCOUNT:
Contributions paid under this contract for a Participant may be invested
in any one or more of the Subaccounts described in section 2.4 pursuant
to the terms of the Plan. Prudential will establish a separate
"Participant's Account" with respect to each Subaccount in which
contributions are invested on behalf of a Participant. (The term
"Participant's Account" is not meant to confer on the Participant any
rights to his Account except as specifically provided in the Plan.) Each
Account is expressed in Units of the applicable Subaccount.
The number of Units added to a Participant's Account as a result of
adding a contribution to a Subaccount is determined by dividing the
dollar amount of the contribution by the appropriate Unit Value for the
day the contribution is added. (See section 2.3 for a description of
each Unit Value). A number of Units will be subtracted from a
Participant's Account on each day on which a withdrawal is made from the
Account. The number of Units is equal to the number requested for
withdrawal or, if applicable, the number determined by dividing the
dollar amount to be withdrawn by the appropriate Unit Value for the day
of withdrawal.
Each Account maintained for a Participant is the sum of the Units added
to it, less the sum of the Units subtracted from it. The dollar value of
each Account as of any day is the product of the number of Units in the
Account at the close of business on that day and the appropriate Unit
Value for that day.
All Accounts are subject to charges described later.

Serial 100 1.1-1.2
Provision II. INVESTMENT ACCOUNT - INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEES - UNIT VALUES -
SUBACCOUNTS INCLUDED:
2.1 THE PRUDENTIAL VARIABLE CONTRACT ACCOUNT - 24 (VCA-24):
VCA-24 is a separate investment account of Prudential established pursuant
to a resolution adopted by its Board of Directors. The resolution provides
that this account is to be used for contracts which state that certain
payments and values under them will vary to reflect the investment results
of this account.
The investments held in VCA-24 are intended to be composed primarily of
shares of The Prudential Series Fund, Inc. ("PSF"), an open-end
diversified, management investment company registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940. VCA-24 is divided into Subaccounts, each
of which is invested only in a corresponding Portfolio of PSF. The
Portfolios of PSF in which the Subaccounts are invested are set forth in
section 2.4. Prudential will invest and reinvest the assets held in each
Subaccount in accordance with the investment objectives and policies
established for it.
The value of the assets of a Subaccount is determined daily by
multiplying the number of PSF shares held by that Subaccount by the
"Net Asset Value" of each share and adding the value of dividends
declared by PSF for the corresponding Portfolio but not yet paid.
The "Net Asset Value" per share of each PSF Portfolio is computed by
adding the sum of the value of the securities held by that Portfolio
plus any cash or other assets in holds, subtracting all its liabilities,
and dividing the result by the total number of shares outstanding of
that Portfolio at such time. Liabilities of the Portfolio include the
costs of portfolio transactions, legal and accounting expenses,
custodial and transfer agency fees, and the Investment Management Fees
applicable to that Portfolio. (See section 2.2.)
The total value of the assets of all Subaccounts comprising VCA-24 at all
times will be at least equal to the total reserve liability required by
law for all payments or values which vary in dollar amount to reflect the
investment results of the VCA-24 Subaccounts. Assets held in the VCA-24
Subaccounts equal in value to the reserve liability will be held for the
sole benefit of all contracts which participate in VCA-24. The amount, if
any, by which the total value of the assets of all Subaccounts exceeds the
total reserve liability will be subject to the exclusive control of
Prudential. Thus, Prudential may, from time to time make transfers between
the VCA-24 Subaccounts and its other investment accounts as, in its
judgment experience warrants. A transfer will not affect Prudential's
contractual liabilities under this contract.
2.2 INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEES:
On each Business Day, the assets of each PSF Portfolio are reduced by an
Investment Management Fee. The amount of the Fee for each Portfolio on
GVA-1010-87 (24)
Serial 200 2.1-2.2
any Business Day is equal to the product of (a) and (b) where:
(a) is the rate of the Investment Management Fee applicable to the
Portfolio and
(b) is the average daily assets of the Portfolio.
The rate of the Investment Management Fee currently applicable to each
Portfolio is shown in section 2.4. The Investment Management Fee for a
Portfolio may be changed from time to time pursuant to a change in the
investment advisory agreement for that Portfolio. Prudential will notify
the Contract-Holder of any such change.
2.3 UNIT VALUES:
A Participant's participation in one or more Subaccounts of VCA-24 will
be reflected in Units of each such Subaccount.
The following applies to each Subaccount described in section 2.4.
The Unit Value for any Business Day is the dollar value of one Unit for
that Business Day. ("Business Day" means a day the New York Stock
Exchange is open for trading.) The initial Unit Value was $1.00. The
Unit Value for any subsequent Business Day is determined as of the end
of that Business Day by multiplying the Unit Change Factor for that
Business Day by the Unit Value for the immediately preceding Business
Day. The Unit Value for any day which is not a Business Day is equal to
the Unit Value for the next Business Day. The Unit Value will go up or
down in accordance with the Unit Change Factor described below.
The Unit Change Factor for a Subaccount of VCA-24 for any Business Day is
(i) divided by (ii), less (iii) where:
(i) is the value of the assets of the Subaccount as of the end of the
Business Day, but before taking into account any contributions,
withdrawals or transfers made on such Day, and
(ii) is the value of the assets of the Subaccount as of the end of the
preceding Business Day, and
(iii) is the daily equivalent of 0.75% (the Administrative Expense
Charge).
This section may be changed as provided in section 5.1.
2.4 SUBACCOUNTS INCLUDED:

contract. It describes the investment portfolio and other features of each

Provision III. WITHDRAWALS AND TRANSFERS - DEATH PAYMENTS:
3.1 WITHDRAWALS:
The Contract-Holder will notify Prudential when a withdrawal is to be
made from a Participant's Accounts pursuant to the Plan. The minimum
withdrawal from any single Account is $500, or the dollar value of that
Account if smaller. Payment will normally be made within seven days of
Prudential's receipt of a duly completed request for it. However, it may
be paid at a later day if permitted under the Investment Company Act of
1940.
The amount paid to the Contract-Holder will be the dollar amount
withdrawn less the withdrawal charge determined from the following table
and the Annual Account Charge if it applies. The amount payable is also
referred to as the "Withdrawal Value."

**No charge is made after the amount withdrawn equals the contributions
made for the Participant. In addition, no charge is made if the
withdrawal is made as a result of Financial Hardship or Disability
Retirement pursuant to the terms of the Plan.
As of the first day no amounts remain in a Participant's Account under
this contract or in an Account for him under a companion contract, all
of his Accounts hereunder are cancelled.
This section may be changed as provided in section 5.1.
3.2 DEATH PAYMENTS:
If a Participant dies before his Participant's Accounts have been
cancelled, the dollar value will be paid to the Contract-Holder. The
payment will be made in one sum unless the Contract-Holder directs
Prudential to purchase an annuity for the Participant's beneficiary
pursuant to the Plan. However, the Contract-Holder will retain all
rights with respect to the annuity. Proof of the Participant's death
must be received by Prudential before any payment will be made.
GVA-1010-87 (24)
Serial 300 3.1-3.2
The annuity form may be any of those described in section 4.4. No
contributions may be made to any of the Participant's Accounts after the
Participant's death.
If a one sum payment is made on the Plan beneficiary's behalf within one
year of the Participant's death, it will be at least equal to the
contributions made for him under this contract less any withdrawals and
transfers.
As of the first day no amounts remain in the any of the Participant's
Accounts hereunder or in an Account with respect to the Participant under
a companion contract, the Participant's Accounts are cancelled.
Section 3.1 does not apply.
3.3 TRANSFERS BETWEEN RELATED CONTRACTS:
The Contract-Holder may transfer, pursuant to the Plan, an amount from
one of the Participant's Accounts to another Account maintained for him
under this contract or to an Account maintained for him under a companion
contract. The minimum withdrawal to provide a transfer is $500 from any
single Account, or the dollar value of that Account if smaller. The
transfer will normally be made within seven days of Prudential's receipt
of a duly completed request for it. Section 3.1 does not apply to a
withdrawal for this purpose. Transfers are deemed to be made first from
the contributions paid for the Participant. Investment income is
transferred when there are no longer any contributions in the Account
from which the transfer is made.
Amounts may be transferred to this contract from a companion contract and
will be added to one or more Subaccounts pursuant to the terms of the
Plan. An amount transferred to this contract for a Participant will be
treated as though it were a contribution made for him (see section 1.2).
However, in determining any withdrawal charge, any portion of the amount
transferred which is investment income will not be considered as a
contribution.
Prudential may, upon notice to the Contract-Holder, limit the frequency
of transfers. This action will take effect on the date of the notice.
This section may be changed as provided in section 5.1.
3.4 TRANSFERS TO ANOTHER FINANCIAL INSTITUTION:
(a) At the Request of a Participant:
The Contract-Holder may transfer, pursuant to the request of a
Participant, the Withdrawal Value of any of the Participant's Accounts to
another financial institution. The transfer may be made directly to that
institution or by a payment (or payments) to the Contract-Holder who then
makes payment to the institution. The transfer will normally be made
within seven days after Prudential's receipt of a duly completed transfer
request.
The transfer will be a full settlement of Prudential's liability for the
Participant's Account from which the transfer is made.
GVA-1010-87 (24)
Serial 310 3.3-3-4
(b) At the Contract-Xxxxxx's Request:
The Contract-Holder may request Prudential to make transfer payments on
behalf of all Participants to another financial institution named in the
request. The Transfer Date is the later of the day specified in the
request and the 90th day after its receipt by Prudential.
All Participants' Accounts will be cancelled as of the Transfer Date and
an amount equal to the sum of the Withdrawal Values, expressed in Units
of the cancelled Accounts, times the appropriate Subaccount Unit Value
for the day of withdrawal will be transferred within seven days
thereafter.
(c) Upon Notice by Prudential
If contributions are discontinued for all Participants pursuant to
section 6.2, Prudential may notify the Contract-Holder that transfer
payments will be made to the Contract-Holder or to a financial
institution named by the Contract-Holder. Prudential would do this if the
contributions are discontinued due to certain circumstances, such as a
change in any law or regulation, which in Prudential's judgment would
have an adverse effect on Prudential in fulfilling the terms of this
contract. In that case,
a Transfer Date will be established,
Participants' Accounts will be cancelled, and
the transfer will be made
in the same manner as described in section 3.4(b).
This section may be changed as provided in section 5.1.

Provision IV. ANNUITIES:
4.1 ANNUITIES:
Whenever a benefit with respect to a Participant's Accounts is payable in
a series of payments pursuant to the Plan, with the dollar amount of each
payment being determined as of the date payments begin, the
Contract-Holder will notify Prudential to have the Participant's Accounts
applied to purchase an annuity for him. However, the Contract-Holder will
retain all rights with respect to the annuity. The dollar value of the
Accounts will be applied.
The schedule of annuity purchase rates that applies is determined from
Schedule A. The monthly amount of any annuity is determined from the
schedule of purchase rates for that annuity.
As of the first day no amounts remain in any of the Participant's
Accounts under this contract or in an Account for him under a companion
contract, his Accounts hereunder are cancelled.
4.2 ANNUITY - SINGLE SUM PAYMENT COMBINATION:
The Contract-Holder may notify Prudential that only a portion of one or
more of the Participant's Accounts is to be applied to purchase an
annuity with the balance to be paid in a single sum. The portion used to
purchase an annuity will be subject to section 4.1 and the balance to
section 3.1.
4.3 SMALL ANNUITIES AND ACCOUNTS:
If the total monthly amount of annuity which would otherwise be purchased
on behalf of any person under this contract and the companion contracts
is less than $50, Prudential may, in lieu of an annuity under this
contract, make payment in a single sum. The single sum will be equal to
the amount that would otherwise be applied to purchase an annuity as
described in section 4.1.
If no contributions have been made under this contract or any companion
contract for a Participant for a period of 24 months and the dollar value
of his Accounts under all the contracts is $1,000 or less, Prudential may
cancel his Accounts under this contract. If the Accounts are cancelled,
the dollar value will be paid to the Contract-Holder. The Annual Account
Charge will be made only if no Account remains for him under any
companion contract.
4.4 TERMS OF PAYMENT OF ANNUITIES:
Life annuities and Payment Certain annuities are available under this
contract. A Life form of annuity is one payable at least during the
lifetime of the person (referred to as the "Annuitant") for whom it was
purchased. Depending upon the existence and nature of any payment payable
after the death of the Annuitant, a Life annuity will be one of the
following forms: Life - Payment Certain, Life - Contingent, or Life -
Payment Certain Contingent annuity. A Payment Certain form of
GVA-1010-87 (24)
Serial 400 4.1-4.4
annuity may be payable for a period less than the lifetime of the person
for whom the annuity was purchased. The terms of payment of each form of
annuity are described below.
(a) Life Form of Annuity:
The first monthly payment of a Life - Payment Certain annuity is
payable on the date the annuity is purchased. Monthly payments are
payable on the first day of each month thereafter throughout the
Annuitant's remaining lifetime. If the Annuitant dies before the
number of annuity payments made equals the number of Payments
Certain applicable to him, monthly annuity payments will be
continued until the total number of payments is so equal. These
continued annuity payments will each be in the same amount as was
payable to the Annuitant. The number of Payments Certain is
established when the annuity is purchased and may be 60, 120, 180,
240, or any other number accepted by Prudential.
The first monthly payment of a Life - Contingent annuity is
payable on the date the annuity is purchased. Monthly payments are
payable on the first day of each month thereafter throughout the
Annuitant's remaining lifetime. If the Annuitant dies before the
death of his Contingent Annuitant, monthly Contingent Annuity
payments will become payable. The first payment of Contingent
Annuity will be payable on the first day of the month following
the month in which the Annuitant's death occurs. Monthly
Contingent Annuity payments are payable on the first day of each
month thereafter throughout the Contingent Annuitant's remaining
lifetime. The last monthly payment is payable for the month in
which his death occurs. The amount of each monthly Contingent
Annuity will be a percentage of the monthly annuity payment
payable before the Annuitant's death. The percentage is
established when the annuity is purchased and may be 33 1/3%, 50%,
66 2/3% or 100%, or any other percentage accepted by Prudential.
Under a Life-Payment Certain Contingent annuity, a percentage
payment will not take effect until the end of the selected Payment
Certain period.
(b) Payment Certain Annuity:
The first monthly payment of a Payment Certain annuity is payable
on the date the annuity is purchased. Monthly payments are payable
on the first day of each month thereafter until the total number
of Payments Certain specified when the annuity was purchased has
been paid. The number of Payments Certain may be 60, 120, 180,
240, or any other number accepted by Prudential.
Other forms of annuity payments may be provided with the consent of
Prudential.
4.5 CONTRACT-HOLDER AS PAYEE - PRUDENTIAL AS AGENT:
Every payment with respect to any annuity will be paid to the
Contract-Holder. The Contract-Holder will notify Prudential forthwith of
the death of any Annuitant and Contingent Annuitant. The Contract-Holder
will reimburse Prudential for any payments made by Prudential which are
in excess of those provided by the annuity for the Annuitant.
GVA-1010-87 (24)
Serial 410 4.5
However, the Contract-Holder may request Prudential to act as its agent
for the purpose of making payments to Annuitants, Contingent Annuitants,
and their beneficiaries. If Prudential assents to the request, it will
make payments to the persons rather than to the Contract-Holder. The
Contract-Holder may terminate this agency relationship at any time upon
45 days' advance notice to Prudential. Thereafter payments will be made
to the Contract-Holder.

Provision VII. GENERAL TERMS:
7.1 CONTRACT-HOLDER:
Prudential will normally deal only with the Contract-Holder. However,
Prudential and the Contract-Holder may agree to do otherwise. Also, in
some cases the contract calls for dealing with another. Prudential will
be entitled to rely on any action taken or omitted by the Contract-Holder
pursuant to the terms of this contract.
The Contract-Holder may, from time to time, delegate to an agency certain
administrative powers and responsibilities which this contract assigns to
the Contract-Holder. Prudential is not bound to recognize any delegation
until it has received notice of it. The notice must specify those powers
and responsibilities and include evidence of acceptance by the agency. On
and after the date of receipt of the notice, Prudential will deal with
the agency with respect to those powers and responsibilities and will be
entitled to rely on any action taken or omitted by the agency with
respect thereto in the same manner as if dealing with the
Contract-Holder. If any agency fails or refuses to act with respect
thereto, then the delegation will be void for the purposes of this
contract. Thereafter, Prudential will deal only with the Contract-Holder.
The Contract-Holder may give notice to Prudential of delegation to
another agency of specified powers and responsibilities.

7.4 INFORMATION -- RECORDS:
The Contract-Holder will furnish all information which Prudential may
reasonably require for the administration of this contract. If the

Information furnished to Prudential may be corrected for demonstrated
errors in it unless Prudential has already acted to its prejudice by
relying on the information. Except for the corrections, information
furnished to Prudential will be regarded as conclusive. Prudential will
maintain the records necessary for its administration of this contract.
These records will be prepared from the information furnished to

7.5 MISSTATEMENTS:
If any relevant fact relating to any person is found to have been
misstated, the following will apply:
(a) The amount of annuity payable by Prudential will be that which
would be provided by the amount allocated to purchase the annuity
on the basis of the correct information, without changing the date
of first payment of the annuity.
Any adjustment by Prudential of the amount or terms of payment
made in accordance with this section will be conclusive upon any
other person affected by it.
(b) The amount of any underpayment by Prudential will be paid in full
with the next payment due. The amount of any overpayment by
Prudential will be deducted to the extent possible from amounts
payable thereafter.
7.6 PLAN CHANGES:
This contract applies to the terms of the Plan in effect on the Effective
Date and to each Plan change. However, Prudential may, within 60 days
after its receipt of a copy of any Plan change, notify the
Contract-Holder that Prudential is unable or unwilling to give effect
under this contract to the change. Prudential would do this if the change
might have an adverse effect on Prudential in fulfilling the terms of the
contract. This would be determined based on Prudential's underwriting
principles then in effect. The Contract-Holder will furnish Prudential
with a copy of the Plan and, while this contract is active, a copy of
each Plan change at least 60 days before it is to become effective.
