Premium Notes

Minimum Purchase Payment
$25,000 minimum; qualified or non-qualified.
 
Additional Purchase Payments
The minimum amount allocable to any Index Strategy is $2,000, and the minimum amount allocable to any Variable Investment Subaccount is $20. Currently you may make additional Purchase Payments, provided that the payment is at least $100 ($50 minimum for electronic funds transfer (“EFT”) purchases). Any allocations to the Index Strategies must occur on an Index Anniversary.
You may make additional 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 additional 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

Systematic Withdrawals During the Savings Stage
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.

Free Withdrawals
Client(s) may withdraw up to 10% of all Purchase Payments still within CDSC without incurring a surrender charge. Free Withdrawals in each contract year are not cumulative. Contingent Deferred Sales Charges will not apply to Required Minimum Distributions that Prudential calculates.
