Premium Notes

Minimum Purchase Payment
$25,000 minimum; qualified or non-qualified.

Subsequent Purchase Payments
The minimum amount allocable to any Index Strategy is $2,000, and the minimum amount allocable to any Variable Investment Sub-account is $20. Currently you may make subsequent Purchase Payments, provided that the payment is at least $100 ($50 minimum for electronic funds transfer (“EFT”) purchases).
You may make subsequent Purchase Payments, at any time before the earlier of (i) the Annuity Date and (ii) the oldest Owner’s 86th birthday (the Annuitant’s 86th birthday, if the Annuity is owned by an entity). No subsequent Purchase Payments are allowed if the Annuity is held as a Beneficiary Annuity.
Each time you add additional premiums to your contract, a new surrender charge period begins.

Note: TSP funds have to be rolled into an IRA.

Withdrawal Provisions

Free Withdrawals
The Charge Free Withdrawal amount during each Annuity Year is equal to 10% of all Purchase Payments that are currently subject to a CDSC.  If you do not make a Charge Free Withdrawal during an Annuity Year, you are not allowed to carry over the Charge Free Withdrawal amount to the next Annuity Year.
No CDSC (if applicable) will be assessed on Required Minimum Distributions from your Annuity if you are required by law to take such RMDs from your Annuity at the time it is taken, provided the amount withdrawn is the amount Prudential calculates as the RMD and is paid out through a program of systematic withdrawals made available by Prudential.

Systematic Withdrawals During the Savings Stage
The systematic withdrawal program is an administrative program designed for you to withdraw a specified amount from your Annuity on an automated basis at the frequency you select. This program is available to you at no additional charge. Systematic withdrawals can be made from your Account Value allocated to the Variable Investment Sub-accounts or Index Strategies.  You may not have a systematic withdrawal program if you are receiving substantially equal periodic payments under Sections 72(t) and 72(q) of the Code or Required Minimum Distributions.
