Provision I. CONTRIBUTIONS - ACCOUNTS - CHARGES:
1.1 CONTRIBUTIONS:
The contributions which are payable under this contract for a
Participant are the amounts of his compensation deferred pursuant
to the Plan and any other amounts contributed by him or on his
behalf 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.)
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number determined by dividing the dollar amount to be withdrawn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.
GVA-1010-87 (24)
Serial 100 1.1-1.2
1.3 ANNUAL ACCOUNT CHARGE:
On the last business day (see section 2.3) of each calendar year
an amount will be withdrawn from the Accounts of each Participant
which, in aggregate, will be equal to the Annual Account Charge.
Also, on any other day on which all of a Participant's Accounts
are cancelled, an amount will be withdrawn from them which, in
aggregate, will be equal to the Annual Account Charge. However,
no Charge will be withdrawn if all of the Participant's Accounts
are being cancelled on a January 1 to purchase an annuity for him
under this contract.
The Annual Account Charge is $20.00.
A Participant may have other Accounts established in connection
with the Plan under other group annuity contracts issued to the
Contract-Holder by Prudential (each one is called a "companion
contract"). If so, the total Annual Account Charge that applies
to all of his Accounts will not exceed $20.00. This charge will
be shared among all such Accounts as Prudential determines. Also,
no charge will be withdrawn from a Participant's Accounts under
this contract when they are cancelled unless no amounts remain in
an Account for him under any companion contract.
In addition to the Annual Account Charge, a charge may be made
upon a withdrawal from the Participant's Account or Accounts (see
section 3.1).
The Charge may be changed as provided in section 5.1.
1.4 REPORTS:
Prudential will periodically furnish a report with respect to
each Participant's Account which has not been cancelled. The
report will show the status of each Account as of the date of the
report.
GVA-1010-87 (24)
Serial 110 1.4
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.

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.
7.2 COMMUNICATIONS:
All communications to the Contract-Holder or to Prudential will be in
writing. They will be addressed to the Contract-Holder at its principal
office, or at such other address as it may communicate to Prudential. They
will be addressed to Prudential, c/o The Prudential Asset Management
Company, Inc., 00 Xxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxxxx 00000, or at such
other address as it may communicate to the Contract-Holder. All
communications to any other person or organization dealing with Prudential
will be addressed to that person or organization at the last address of
record.
7.3 PLACE OF PAYMENT - CURRENCY:
All payments to Prudential under this contract will be payable at its
office described above or at an address or to a representative as may be
specified by Prudential by notice to the Contract-Holder.
All payments under this contract, whether to or by Prudential, will be in
lawful money of the United States of America. Dollars and cents, as
specified in this contract, means lawful dollars and cents of United States
currency.

7.4 INFORMATION -- RECORDS:
The Contract-Holder will furnish all information which Prudential may
reasonably require for the administration of this contract. If the
Contract-Holder cannot furnish any required item of information, Prudential
may request the person concerned to furnish the information. Prudential
will not be liable for the fulfillment of any obligations in any way
dependent upon information unless and until it receives the information in
a form satisfactory to it.
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 Prudential
and will constitute evidence as to the truth of the information in the
records.
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.

this contract will be determined annually by the Board of Directors of
Prudential and credited to Participants' Accounts as determined by the
Board. (It is unlikely any divisible surplus will accrue upon this
contract.)

forth on the first page.
