Re: Registration No. 2-76580
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have served as counsel to The Prudential Insurance Company of America
(the "Company") and to The Prudential Variable Contract Account-10 (the
"Account") in connection with the registration with the Securities and Exchange
Commission of an indefinite number of securities (specifically variable annuity
insurance contracts) pursuant to Rule 24f-2 under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended. The Company and the Account are preparing to file a Rule 24f-2
Notice with the Commission pursuant to which the registration of $56,031,982.29
worth of such securities issued during the year ended December 31, 1994 is made
definite.
Based on our examination of the relevant documents contained in the
Account's registration statement, and assuming that the variable annuity
insurance contracts were issued in accordance with the terms described in that
registration statement, that the Account received payment for the contracts, and
that the appropriate action was taken to qualify the sale of the variable
annuity insurance contracts under applicable state laws, we are of the opinion
that the variable annuity insurance contracts are valid, legal and binding
obligations of the Account in accordance with their terms and are nonassessable.
We consent to the filing of this opinion, in connection with the Rule
24f-2 Notice, with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Very truly yours,
SHEA & GARDNER
